Courtney Proffitt, Executive Director of the Association for Independent Music: “ We have been educating people that online music piracy is affecting everyone in the music industry - not just the major labels. Smaller record labels are finding it hard to stay in business, due to the loss of much needed revenue. This is impacting the very nature of new music being created and shared with the world. We could be losing some very talented musicians who can not afford to continue to record their music. I urge people to think about the consequences that are the results of illegal downloading of music. ”

So now, getting out of the war is popular and guess what: the press is studiously avoiding asking any tough questions about it — and where are the "watchdogs" in the press? Which members of the mainstream media are regularly asking Nancy Pelosi, John Murtha, Harry Reid, Barack Obama, John Edwards, and Hillary Clinton what they think the ramifications of leaving Iraq will be?

It was the news as soon as I logged into my computer this morning from my West Coast office: Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. (NYSE: NWS) had made a whopping $5 billion bid for Dow Jones & Co. (NYSE: DJ). The bid was unsolicited and, it seems, entirely hostile to the Bancroft family, who controls Dow Jones and seems to be rejecting the generous offer.

Sharon Corbitt, studio manager at Ocean Way in Nashville:? As a studio manager and a nineteen year veteran of Music Row, I have seen the many changes that our industry has gone through. Action has to be taken to deal with the downloading piracy issue that is affecting our industry in a devastating way. The very person that is downloading illegally is not thinking of the long term effect. Their actions affect the quality of music that is recorded and eventually there will be nothing to download because the funds to make great quality recordings will not be available.?

Bruce Iglauer, President of Alligator Records:? No one is hurt more by the illegal ’ sharing ’ of copyrighted music than the independent artist and the independent record label. The struggling indies already occupy a much smaller market share than the majors. The independents ’ loss of income from even a small number of sales lost to ‘ file sharing ’ can be the difference between whether much independent music is recorded or not. If this proliferation of the theft of the creations of our independent artists continues, less and less music will be recorded. The public must be educated about the real of results stealing music from its creators.?

And it is good to hear Laurence Fishburne ’ s voice as the Silver Surfer in the trailer as well. There is some humor in the clip as well that looks reminiscent of the other film, which was one of the high marks of the Fantastic Four. I have to say that I love this trailer. It has everything that I could imagine from a trailer like this. I didn ’ t see Galactus, but we did get to see what seems to be a darker version of Dr. Doom which looked pretty cool as he seemed to be trying to bargain with the Surfer. Please, please, please go check it out. Am I the only one that is all of a sudden stoked about this movie?

British distributor Momentum Pictures were, until recently, quietly confident about keeping the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez flick as a double feature in Blighty this June, but now it seems the inevitable split has had to happen. The Times Online reports that DEATH PROOF will be released on September 21st, and while there's no date for PLANET TERROR as yet - a late October release seems in the cards. No word as yet as to whether either film will be extended versions. Already its been suggested by Kurt Russell himself that the films will get separate disc releases in the US.

Yesterday ’ s State Department report on global terrorism included sobering and dejecting data. Terrorist attacks worldwide shot up 25% of the year before, while terrorist fatalities went up 40%. The results were particularly awful in Iraq — the State Department found that terrorism in the war-torn country claimed 65% of the worldwide total of terrorist-related deaths in 2006. Nearly half of the attacks counted in the world occurred in Iraq, which saw a stunning 91% increase in the number of terrorist incidents.

We 're hearing that the jaw-dropper amid all this chatter is the claim that Jackson's projected budget for the film is $65 million, not counting Jackson's (presumably substantial) directing and producing fees. That's $65 million to make a movie narrated from beyond the grave by a raped and murdered teenager. We recognize that Alice Sebold's book was a best-seller, and Peter Jackson is a super-genius, but does this seem excessive to anyone else?

The Houston Rockets are engaged in a first round Western Conference playoff series with the Utah Jazz, which plays a style of basketball that reminds one of professional wrestling. Inasmuch as the Rockets play a rather plodding style of ball that revolves around their two stars -- Tracy Mcgrady and Yao Ming -- and attempts to minimize below-average players at the point guard and power forward positions, the first four games in this series have bordered on being unwatchable.

The news that Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will not seek the presidency should have caused some relief in Turkey, but the streets of Istanbul were swarmed by as many as 1 million protesters Sunday after the announcement that Mr. Erdogan's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) would support Foreign Minister Abdullah Gul for the job. Although widely viewed as more moderate and less divisive than Mr. Erdogan, Mr. Gul is still seen as a challenge to that highly guarded legacy of Kemal Ataturk -- Turkey's secularism. "

For to submit to a discipline, whether it is psychoanalysis, science, law, or climate hysteria, is to begin to interpret the world in terms of that operating system, which only reinforces and reifies the system — it creates the mental food it eats and digests, making the system grow up big and strong. It is something that can not be helped. It is why these naively matter-worshiping muddlebrow jerktivists such as Sam Harris and Daniel Dennett believe what they believe: they must believe what they do, given the constraints placed upon them by their scientistic operating system. As the law of Dilys implies, they have disabled certain kinds of intelligence, but call it intelligence; and they must not know many things in order to possess a certain kind of limited knowledge.

Driscoll is pastor of the 5000! 5000! 5000! - member Mars Hill Church in Seattle, Hybels the pastor of Willow Creek in Chicago. Here's the short version: at a church-planting conference, Driscoll and his crew contributed a video talking about what church-planters need to do and who they need to be. One of his main points is essentially "no chicks allowed." Right after this video was shown, Hybels got up to speak and began by saying, "After that video i would like to acknowledge that there are women in this room and they have spiritual gifts."

Jackie Robinson's contribution to both the game of baseball and society were enormous. But there are a lot of good arguments that can be made for retiring Babe Ruth's # 3 throughout baseball, and Hank Aaron's # 44. And now, there is becoming a huge groundswell of support and pressure for retiring Roberto Clemente's # 21 throughout baseball, based on his charitable work, and the belief that he opened baseball up to Latin America. Do you see this slippery slope we start to go down when we start retiring these numbers?

After the “ Batman ” series ’ descent into insanity with Joel Schumacher at the helm, “ Memento ” director Christopher Nolan revived the franchise with the best Batman adaptation yet. Christian Bale knocked it out of the park as Bruce Wayne, and the supporting cast of Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman made the cast shine (even with the counter-productive performance of Katie Holmes). This was the first DC adaptation since Marvel stormed the cinemas in the early 2000s, giving us hope for more Warner Bros. characters coming to life.

Four intertwined stories -- a businessman (Forest Whitaker) who bets it all on horses, a gangster (Brendan Fraser) who can tell the future, a pop star (Sarah Michelle Gellar) who gets caught up with a crime boss (Andy Garcia), and a physician (Kevin Bacon) who must save someone dear – are played out with an all-star cast.v

Daniel Gross acidly deconstructs Tom Wolfe's new article in Portfolio. (Full disclosure: I bought a copy, but then left it in the rental car, and am too cheap to buy another.

For one thing, his attempt to paint Wolfe as an anti-semite seems a little forced, not to say scurrilous:

Apparently there has been some bad blood between these teams dating back to last year. Sheffield (who had been beaned earlier) and Oriole pitcher, Daniel Cabrera had to be separated after a bean-ball incident involving Miguel Tejada and Tiger pitcher, Jeremy Bonderman. Tempers flaired after Cabrera yelled at Jim Leyland, which lead Sheff to go after him. After the smoke cleared, Sheffield went yard off Cabrera, admiring it for a long while, and Cabrera gave him the hairy eye the whole way around the bases. There ’ s still 2 games left.

The game stood at 1-1 going into the third period, but Jonathan Cheechoo broke the tie when he scored on a power play with 6: 41 left in regulation. The Wings had a couple of decent chances -- a tip-in attempt by Pavel Datsyuk and a wrist shot from the slot by Robert Lang -- on a subsequent Detroit power play, but the Wings'offensive hopes were dashed when Bertuzzi, 6-foot-3 and 242 pounds, got called for tripping Mclaren, 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, with 2: 48 left in the third period.
