WASHINGTON — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Emeritus John Dingell (D-MI) and Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) have become the latest House co-sponsors of a bipartisan Congressional resolution opposing a performance tax on local radio stations. The Local Radio Freedom Act (H. Con. Res. 49), which opposes "any new performance fee, tax, royalty, or other charge," is now backed by 258 House lawmakers, 40 more than a House majority.
The growing Congressional opposition comes as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) continues to lobby in support of legislation that would require local radio stations to pay an additional fee for every song aired free to listeners.
Underscoring the importance of radio airplay, pop musician Chris Brown recently recorded an online audio message essentially begging his fans to keep him relevant with radio airplay. "Some radio station's aren't playing my records," Brown told his fans in the audio message. "They're not being as supportive, and I wouldn't expect them too. … My singing, my music, it's all great, and I do it for y'all, and I do it for the love and everything else, but it won't be possible if I'm not relevant on the radio."
Yesterday also brought an end to a lawsuit filed by Pink Floyd against their London-based record label, EMI Group, over online royalty payments and the sale of single tracks. According to news reports, the court decision will prevent EMI from selling single downloads from the band 's albums. The outcome of the royalty issue was delivered in private after EMI submitted an application citing commercial confidentiality, according to The Financial Times.
Pink Floyd is the latest group in a long line of musicians who have filed lawsuits against their record label to recoup allegedly unpaid royalties, including the Beatles, Cher, Dr. Dre, Eminem, and the estates of Count Basie and Benny Goodman.

In an episode shocking for its sheer cruelty, two teenage girls in Maryland are now in custody after they repeatedly abused a 16-year-old autistic boy - eventually making him perform sexual acts with a family pet - and recording it all on their cell phones.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Seventeen-year-old Lauren Bush along with her 15-year-old accomplice are accused by the St. Mary's County sheriff's department on numerous charges. The girls reportedly injured the victim with a knife and made him fall into an icy pond.
Bush, from Mechanicsville is being charged as an adult in connection with the crimes against the unnamed boy.

Sheriff Tim Cameron says that the "heinous" allegations in this case are some of the worst he has ever seen.
The two suspects allegedly recorded themselves assaulting their mentally challenged victim by pointing a knife to his throat, making him walk across a frozen pond and not helping when he fell in multiple times and kicking him in the groin.
The two suspects also allegedly coerced him into performing masturbation and copulation with a family pet. Said acts occurred between December and March.
The victim did sustain some injuries from the suspects' torture, Cameron said, but he did not know the extent of it.
One suspect's mother found the video on her daughter's phone and alerted the school resource officer at the Chopticon High School where they both attended, Cameron said.
Authorities are trying to determine why the girls decided to film these acts and if they showed it to anyone or shared it on social media.
"I'm hoping our investigation will get some answers. It's hard to fathom," he said. "This is heinous and shocking. Why would someone show such hatred and evil to a person?"
Charged with assault, soliciting a subject in the production of child pornography and false imprisonment, even more charges may be filed.
"We're a close knit community and everyone is shocked here," he said. "Like everyone else in town I'm hoping to know the rest of the story."
Bush has since been released but the 15-year-old is still at a juvenile detention facility, he said.

... the interesting parts and the stories. So it was nice to go there but not mind blowing. I think we're all a little jaded from the barrage of cultural sights we've experienced in the last week or so. Probably the best thing was hearing from Lena about day to day life on Crete. How married couples are given houses by their parents, what age they marry, pregnancy out of wedlock is a precious baby and many Cretian brides walk down the aisle in their white dress ...

Last night we had some fun swimming in the pool - Kelly tried to teach chris to float without much success. Over our time on Crete we've met a bunch of people from the Netherlands.

So we've been talking to them about Dutch food and they keep encouraging us to order the croquettes at the hotel, which is a Dutch snack that ...

I'm on your side, buddy. But this is what you chose.
The wind on the road back to Heraklion was real and scary. Almost-knocked-over scary. Especially entering and exiting tunnels. It looked like a front was coming in. Maybe I'm wise to have made it out when I did.

Darkness beneath,
The torn and tattered sheets
You lie awake,
And feel the walls shake
As again this year,
Christmas ends in tears
And with all the gifts,
Your life just shifts
Cuz Dad's job kills,
And Mommy can't pay the bills
So you just lay and weap
Cuz you just can't sleep
But you swear,
You'll one day make it out of there.

Yemen: 100 al Qaeda fighters killed in south
Last Updated: Friday, April 6, 2012 - 14:31
Sanaa: Yemen`s interior ministry says more
than 100 al Qaeda-linked militants have been killed in the
past two days of fighting in the country`s south.
Yesterday`s statement comes as government troops are
waging an offensive in the southern Abyan and Lahj provinces
to rout militants from their hideouts. The area has seen heavy
battles in the past week after two subsequent militant attacks
on Yemeni army bases.
Large swaths in the country`s south have been overrun by
al-Qaeda and other militant groups who have taken advantage of
Yemen`s yearlong political turmoil.
The ministry`s figure could not be independently
confirmed. Earlier figures reported by a news agencysaid nearly 50 militants were killed in the last few days.

April 14, 2014 06:55 AM
Seventy-five years ago this month, the Washington Stamp Exchange in Newark, N.J., launched a new cachet line called ArtCraft.
Founder Leo August began producing cachets in the late 1920s for flight covers, when the Newark Chamber of Commerce and city government didn't want to be bothered with collector requests.
In 1932, older brother Sam joined the company, which incorporated as Washington Stamp Exchange. By then, the business had branched out to include first-day covers under the trade name "WSE" and others.
A first-day cover for the 1939 United States 3¢ New York World's Fair stamp (Scott 853) was the first for the ArtCraft line.
In a 1973 interview for the American First Day Cover Society archives, Sam told interviewer Curtis Patterson they couldn't afford to license the use of the fair's symbols, the Trylon and Perisphere. However, Woodbury Engraving, which specialized in engraved stationery for businesses and had been printing envelopes for WSE, did have the rights to use the symbols, so ArtCraft was able to use the Woodbury design shown here.
Woodbury printed every ArtCraft cachet from that first issue through the 2002 34¢ U.S. Military Academy issue (Scott 3560).
The Augusts produced 2,000 to 3,000 of this first cachet, and some customers complained because they were engraved. Others obviously liked the style, because ArtCraft today is the longest-running cachet line, and the firm's designs are still engraved.
WSE ended its other cachet lines in 1941 because of the Presidential series electric-eye varieties, finding it was too expensive to produce unique cachets for such a limited issue.
Today, elements of each cachet are printed using techniques other than engraving, but just for some of the cachet design, not all.
"We like the engraved look," Washington Press president Mike August, Sam's son, told Linn's in a recent interview. "We're still engraving the type on our cachets, and it's a signature of what we've produced for 75 years, so we will probably keep doing that."
Co-owner Tim Devaney, Leo's son-in-law, agrees.
"We certainly want to maintain that connection with our heritage and our legacy," Devaney said. "It began with engraving, we still use engraving as an integral part of our product.
"We've certainly had to adapt to a lot of changes over the years as far as stamp technology, the type of stamps being issued, relationships with the Postal Service, those sort of things have all evolved over the past two decades or so," Devaney added.
"The biggest challenge is the diminishing customer base," August said at the company headquarters in Florham Park, N.J., about 15 miles from Newark. "Stamp collecting and cover collecting seem to be challenged by a failure to … bring younger people into these hobbies."
And will ArtCraft and the Washington Press be bringing younger people into this family-run business?
"My son is currently working at the Smithsonian National Postal Museum … so he does have an interest in stamps and stamp collecting," Devaney said. "We really haven't talked about him coming into the business, but … I can hope."

Dispersal of the splendid Daniel B. Curtis collection continued March 25, with Robert A. Siegel Auction Galleries gaveling items from United States back-of-the-book and possessions.
The 175th anniversary of the first postage stamp, Great Britain's Penny Black, is May 6, but the stamp was placed on sale May 1, 1840, for mailers to use beginning on May 6, the designated issue date.

Chelsea Handler is one busy lady these days, with her late night talk show 'Chelsea Lately,' two new shows in the works and a multi-book publishing deal to look after. So is it any wonder that as her contract comes up for renewal over at E! there are reports that the network's desperate to keep her, and that she's feeling pretty relaxed about the whole thing? "We'll see how it goes," she tol...

And we thought picking beefs for publicity was so 1997. Apparently Chelsea Handler believes otherwise since, while promoting her latest book, 'Lies Chelsea Handler Told Me,' Handler revealed to Hamptons Magazine her disdain for the king of beefin', one Sean "Diddy" Combs. "P. Diddy was the only one I was like, 'Get away from me.' He's so late all the time -- maybe he won't show up in the Hampto...

She may be raking in the laughs now, but Chelsea Handler's life wasn't always so comical. In a recent interview with The New York Times, Handler divulged that she had no choice but to get an abortion when she discovered she was pregnant at 16 years old. "I had an abortion when I was 16. Because that's what I should have done," she said frankly. "Otherwise I would now have a 20-year-old kid. Any...

Chelsea Handler did her audience a solid by not having them listen to Kim Kardashian's new single, 'Jam (Turn It Up).' Instead, she brought her brother Roy onto the set of 'Chelsea Lately' and had him read the lyrics. Now we believe many song's lyrics would suffer under the same circumstances, but it was still a lot of fun to hear his dry read. Our favorite was his reading of "Five more shots o...

When Nick Cannon and Chelsea Handler had a much publicized Twitter feud back in October, many thought it was because of a wisecrack Handler took at the expectant father. But to hear Cannon tell the story, it all started with comments the comedian made about his wife, Mariah Carey. When Handler tweeted the joke, "I just heard Nick Cannon is starting a comedy tour.

Until recently, sensitive-skinned girls had to steer clear of at-home peels for fear of ending up with red, angry complexions. All that changed when Juice Beauty released this version of their powerful Green Apple Peel. Suitable for even the most delicate skin types, it delivers visible smoothing results after just one use. This patented, award-winning formula peel is made with a gentle yet effective dose of organic, fruit-derived hydroxy acids and raw sugar cane, which exfoliates to reduce breakouts and even out skin tone. We love how the mild tingle lets us know this peel is really working.
Do shake this up before using, my sample was pretty thin and almost watery so it was a little tricky to get from bottle to face but once on my face it was easy to spread. Smelled great (as usual for this brand) and tingled a bit to tell me it was working. Probably not enough sample to notice a long-term difference, but after each of the few uses, my skin did feel pretty fresh and hydrated.4

"We stayed here while running the Market to Market Relay 2015 with two toddlers and our running crew. It was great! Although we were too tired to try out the hot tub after our run one of our group said, "I don't want to go home!" It's a very well-maintained property with plenty of beds and great outdoor space. We hope to stay here next year when we run the relay again. The kitchen is stocked, the beds are great, and the atmosphere is very relaxing. Thanks for everything!"Guest: Kate J.

"This house was perfect for our families - which consisted of 2 college roommates and their kids meeting in between Colorado and Wisconsin for 3 days. There were 7 kids between the ages of 7 and 12. The house was spacious for the kids to play and not too "fancy" where the adults felt uncomfortable to let them run around. It was nice in that it had different spaces/areas - the kids could be downstairs rehearsing their next lip sync battle while the adults could be chatting upstairs. There was also a lot of green space outside to have them play games. Overall, it was very fun for everybody and the kids are already hoping that this becomes an annual get-together at this house."Guest: Tara W. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: August 14, 2015View listing
"This property is in an ideal location on the southeasterly side of Clear Lake. It is literally next door to 'The Landing', a waterside restaurant and pub, and a well-kept boat ramp is adjacent to 'Landing.' Short drive (by road) to city center and to State park. Boat drive is also short to city dock/ramp/park, and to state-park-beach. The home is well maintained and clean, and more spacious than it appears. US and DS beds and baths help with convenience and 'traffic.' Appliances and furniture are mostly new-ish and in good working order. Best configuration of 'space,' 'set-up', and 'ambiance' is on the front (lakeside) patio, with multiple levels, various types of sit-able items, grill and dining table, all with a good view of the lake and sunset. The 'back' area, around garage, back-entrance, small back patio, would have benefited from a more thorough cleaning of mower leavings, leaves, etc.--this cuts both ways: on one hand, it's the first impression (driveway from street) so it can raise some questions; on the other hand, once in, there's little reason to go back there. The decor is unified (nautical, especially 'rope') which lightens the place literally (lots of white with blue and red accents), and figuratively (a sense of whimsy.) Although it is a 'rental' property, a few small tweaks could make it feel more like "Home Away" from Home--e.g., there are few-to-none wall-decoration, although, curiously, there are lots of nails and frame hooks in walls that suggest there were. Some floor rugs could both reinforce the themes/colors and break up the wall-to-wall wood/vinyl flooring (and protect sand/dirt wear typical for hardwood floors by lakes.) Heavy towel users will want to bring some of their own, including beach towels as well as bathroom towels--the ones provided were new, clean, nice, but small in number. Some throw pillows would make the living/TV/lake-watching front room more comfy for lying about/lounging on the decent sofa and chairs. The amount and type of kitchen tools (hand use, not electrics) is sparse for a rental "Home Away", such as kitchen knives (with sharp, large, blades), stove/salad/sides gear (spatulas, serving spoons etc.) -Other notable pluses: TV and computer/wifi setups, bright and clear dock lights, extra slip at dock for boat, Bocci' court(!), mobile fire pit, owner-flex. (last minute reservation) and trust. I've used VRBO/HAway 25+ times; this is a good, well-kept site, and fully worth its price."Guest: Tom W. Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: June 17, 2015View listing
"When we arrived it took us a bit to orient ourselves to the location and find the garage which has a sign that says Loft above garage door and directly to left of the hotel as you face the back from the parking lot. The entrance was easy to get in and the place was great. It is beautiful with everything you need to cook, sleep, play. The pool table is great. The bass are firm and comfortable and the bathrooms are well appointed. Great Place and walkable to great food etc"Guest: Sue G. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: August 8, 2015View listing

Taking Philosophy Too Seriously
September 17, 2013
Two men in a grocery store in southern Russia got into an argument about the ideas of Immanuel Kant, and after the discussion got heated, one man took out a gun and shot the other, Reuters reported. The man who was shot was hospitalized but his life is not in danger. Reuters provided this context: "Many Russians love to discuss philosophy and history, often over a drink, but such discussions rarely end in shootings."

Janet Feder
With an extensive background in classical and prepared guitar, Janet Feder has focused primarily on instrumental recordings. But on her latest effort, the aptly titled Songs With Words, Feder sings on most of the tracks, and her voice sounds stunning throughout, particularly on cuts like "O the Sky Falling Moment" and her take on "Blowin' in the Wind," which she plays in a minor key, making it darker and more in tune with Bob Dylan's lyrics. Feder's guitar playing is especially captivating here. Using a number of guitars, including a custom-made baritone classical guitar, she prepares some of the strings with metal objects such as split rings (which are often used for key rings) while leaving other strings unprepared, making for a fascinating dynamic. Since the album was recorded in surround sound using fifteen microphones, it's exquisite when listened to through headphones or on a surround system.

Trade Me site feature launch 'chaos'
Relevant offers
Trade Me members were left fuming yesterday after the company appeared to bungle the launch of a feature designed to make it easier for traders to sell new goods.
Some traders said it was "utter chaos" and "a nightmare".
The company's community message board was flooded with complaints from sellers who said they could not see details of completed trades or re-listed auctions.
Despite the problems, Trade Me shares leapt 5.9 per cent to close at a new record high of $4.70.
Trade Me spokesman Jeff Hunkin acknowledged there had been a "couple of issues that caused some confusion", but said they had been largely fixed by late yesterday afternoon.
Any outstanding issues were "cosmetic ones" affecting a small number of members which Trade Me would work "around the clock" to resolve, he said.
Earlier, buyers found their "won" and "lost" auction lists clogged with details of previously deleted trades which they could not expunge.
One described the situation as "utter chaos".
Another said they had received two emails from buyers "grumpy" because they either could not make payments or could not send their delivery addresses.
"I thought I was going completely bonkers this morning when not one of the last 10 trades matched numbers paid into my account," said a third Trade Me customer.
"What a nightmare."

Small businesses, which are important to the U.S. economy for their roles in job creation and technological development, must be able to protect and profit from their innovations. One way to protect their innovations on a global basis is to obtain U.S. and foreign patents. These businesses, however, face numerous impediments when trying to patent their goods or processes abroad. These impediments, which GAO identified in a July 2002 report, include high costs, limited resources, and limited knowledge among small businesses about foreign patent laws and systems. Because of concern that small businesses, particularly high technology firms, were not obtaining patent protection abroad and thus were losing potential sales in foreign markets, GAO was asked to (1) identify the factors that patent law experts believe small businesses should consider as they decide whether to seek patent protection abroad and provide information on how small businesses viewed these factors and (2) identify the steps that small businesses should take to improve their foreign patent efforts, according to our survey of patent law experts.
According to the expert panel of patent law attorneys that GAO surveyed, small businesses that are considering whether to seek patent protection abroad should identify and assess the full "cradle-to-grave" costs of acquiring, maintaining, and enforcing foreign patents. Other considerations should include the locations where small businesses intend to sell or manufacture their invention and whether the range of benefits obtained from foreign patents, such as increased sales or higher company value, is sufficient to justify their cost. Furthermore, small businesses should try to understand foreign patent laws and systems and the quality of foreign patent enforcement, the expert panelists said. The small businesses that GAO surveyed agreed that foreign patent costs, benefits, and potential locations were important factors in their decisions to patent abroad. However, some small businesses did not properly evaluate long-term costs and could not determine whether foreign patent benefits outweighed the costs. The most important step that small businesses could take to improve their foreign patent efforts, according to GAO's survey of patent law experts, is to avoid disclosing information publicly about an invention before filing a U.S. patent application. The United States permits such disclosure, but doing so can invalidate an applicant's right to patent protection abroad. The second most important step is to be aware of filing deadlines, which are specified in foreign laws and international patent treaties. Other important steps included integrating foreign patents into long-range business planning and seeking patents in countries where meaningful protection is available and a return on investment is likely.

Trade24 makes sure to follow all the rules according to Halacha of which one can invest and lend money.
It was not for nothing that last June, President Bush declared that for any progress towards Palestinian goals, there must be a "new and different Palestinian leadership … not compromised by terror." Plainly the President had enough of Arafat's duplicitousness and deceit.
"Today, Palestinian authorities are encouraging, not opposing, terrorism," he said. He went on to say that any new Palestinian leadership must "engage in a sustained fight against the terrorists" and "dismantle their infrastructure." Finally sensing that the President was serious, the post of Prime Minster was created by the Palestinians to run their "government", ostensibly to demonstrate that Arafat was out as leader even if he remained on the letterhead. Abu Mazen was then designated to serve as Prime Minster and assume the reins of power and confront among others, Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad, head-on. Yet, the debate over the "road map" and whether the Palestinians or Israel must take the first step, indicates that the Palestinians are at it again, turning things on their head. Indeed, Israel is being asked to "empower" Mazen with concessions in order to enable him to take power away from Arafat! It is downright perverse, even by Middle Eastern standards.
We and others have noted that Mazen came to power only because Arafat allowed him to do so. And Arafat continues in effective control of the Palestinian Authority and remains as its Chairman. His supporters now dominate Mazen's Cabinet. Arafat controls Palestinian finances. While Mazen appears to have control over something referred to as "internal security," Arafat still has direct control over various armed groups such as the Tanzim and Al-Aksa Martyrs Brigades and "national security." Further, Arafat announced the other day that he has established a National Security Council, which will have oversight over all of the security agencies, and is to be under the direct control of Arafat!
Still, Mazen is being offered by the Palestinians as their response to President Bush's statement about the need for Palestinian "regime change." Moreover, as reported in The Jerusalem Post, Palestinian Legislative Council Speaker Ahmed Queri told U.S. envoy William Burns that Mazen could only fulfill Palestinian security obligations if Israel ceases IDF operations in the "territories" and takes other confidence-building measures as easing the closure, releasing the tax revenues it is withholding from the PA, and releasing Palestinian prisoners like West Bank Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti and PLO Executive members such as Abdel Rahmim Maluah and Taisir Khaled.
Queri also told Burns that Mazen plans to talk to the militants rather than crack down on them:
There are two understandings. The Israeli understanding, which calls for a [Palestinian ]civil war … and there is a Palestinian understanding based on dialogue and the Palestinian national interest.
So at best, Mazen & Company intend, in any event, not to disarm Hamas and the others, but rather to try and get them to agree to a cease fire. Of course this would just allow the terrorists to recover from the devastation wrought by the IDF operations in recent months which have staunched the number of attacks.
In sum, for Israel to agree to suspend its anti-terror efforts prior to any decisive move by Mazen against the terror groups is simply a prescription for business as usual. We have seen where that leads. President Bush should hold true to his June vision.
