Sunday night's MTV VMAs will mix a serious social message in along with Nicki Minaj's snakes and Iggy Azalea's much anticipated appearance.
MTV President Stephen Friedman said in a statement Sunday just hours before the show that the network would air a 15-second spot focusing on race in hopes of spurring a discussion about the events surrounding the Aug. 9 police shooting death of an 18-year-old Ferguson, Missouri man.
"It's a call to action to our audience that we have to confront our own bias head-on before we can truly create change," Friedman said.
The announcement only added to the buildup to what is annually one of music's most dramatic and unpredictable awards show. Already there have been snake bites and stage slips.
Days before the big show, Iggy Azalea slipped offstage while performing "Fancy" at a MTV benefit concert, later posting the video on Instagram and making fun of herself. More seriously, a 6-foot-long boa constrictor bit a background dancer during a rehearsal for Nicki Minaj's performance of "Anaconda," MTV News reported. MTV said Minaj was onstage, and the female dancer was treated onsite and transported to a hospital.
At another rehearsal, a show worker fell from one of the winding, sloping platforms on the stage at the Forum in Inglewood, California, which reopened in January after a $100 million makeover. And rap mogul Suge Knight was injured in a shooting early Sunday at a West Hollywood nightclub for an unofficial pre-VMA party hosted by Chris Brown.
The back-to-back drama is making the popular awards show, airing Sunday night, a trending topic on social media even before an award is handed out, though trophies often take a back seat at the VMAs, which are all about the moments. And the show will likely provide even more memorable moments once it kicks off, much like last year's VMAs, which we will call the Video Miley Awards.
Miley Cyrus is returning Sunday, this time as a nominee for video of the year with "Wrecking Ball." She isn't set to perform, but the outrageous singer, who has kept quiet recently, could surprise with another twerking moment that could own the night and steal the spotlight from the slew of A-list pop divas.
Beyonce will perform and receive the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard award. She's the leading nominee, competing for eight awards, including video of the year for "Drunk In Love."
Taylor Swift, who is fully venturing out into the world of pop music, will sing her new song "Shake It Off" for the first time. And Ariana Grande, who is releasing her sophomore album, "My Everything," minutes after the VMAs wrap, will perform twice, including opening the show with Minaj and Jessie J for "Bang Bang."
"I'm so excited. … MTV has been so supportive to me and I can't thank them enough," said the 21-year-old Grande, who is nominated for three moonmen for best pop video, female video and collaboration for "Problem" with Azalea.
Azalea, like Eminem, has seven nominations. The Australian rapper is nominated twice for both best female and pop video thanks to the success of "Problem" and "Fancy." The latter will compete for video of the year.
Charli XCX, who co-stars on "Fancy," said she first met Azalea on the set of the "Clueless"-inspired music video after they recorded the No. 1 hit separately. The 22-year-old English singer, who was also featured on last year's summer smash "I Love It" with Icona Pop, is nominated for the artist to watch award for her breakthrough solo hit, "Boom Clap."
"I mean it's cool, that's for sure," said Charli XCX, who said she's got four outfits lined up for Sunday. "I'm excited to be there because I haven't done an awards show like on my own, if you know what I mean."
She'll battle girl group Fifth Harmony and rising acts who have topped the charts this year, including boy band 5 Seconds of Summer, rapper Schoolboy Q and pop singer Sam Smith, who will also perform Sunday night.
"My dreams are coming true this weekend. I'm performing at the VMAs," Smith said at the MTV benefit concert also featuring Azalea.
Smith's "Stay With Me" is also up for best male video, pitting him against Eminem, John Legend, Ed Sheeran and Pharrell, whose "Happy" is also nominated for video of the year.
Sia's "Chandelier," which has helped the singer-songwriter achieve a musical breakthrough this year, will battle Pharrell, Azalea, Beyonce and Cyrus for the night's top trophy.
AP entertainment writers Sandy Cohen and Nicole Evatt in Los Angeles contributed to this report.

Booking a trip soon? See: Allergic Living's Airlines and Allergy Policies Directory
If you have food allergies, here are some steps you can take to minimize your risk (or your child's) aboard an airplane.
Before you fly:
- Call the airline and ask about their allergy policy before you book your ticket. You don't want to find out by surprise that peanut satay is being served on your flight to Hong Kong.
- Look at the airline's website or call customer service to find out what foods are served or sold on board.
- When you book, make sure to tell the reservations or travel agent about your allergies, and what specific accommodations you need.
- Book a flight that's earlier in the day, because the planes get cleaned overnight, and there is less likelihood nut snacks will be consumed in the morning. This means less chance of encountering the allergen on seats and in seat pockets, etc.
- Book direct flights when possible, to reduce the need to deal with multiple planes and flight crews.
- Bring your auto-injectors and/or asthma medications with you onto the plane (do not check them). Security may require that these medications show a prescription label in the name of the patient/traveler.
- It's wise to carry an official doctor's note stating that the medication is required for severe allergies or asthma.
When you fly:
- Tell everyone you deal with – the check-in agent, the staff at the gate, the flight attendants – about your child's or your allergies. Even if the booking agent said you will be accommodated, play it safe and make sure everyone knows.
- Arrive at the gate early and talk to the staff before they're too busy. Be clear, calm and polite.
- If concerned about contact with allergen residue from previous passengers, ask to pre-board and wipe down the seats, tray tables and armrests. You can also cover the seat with a blanket or a seat cover. Bring wipes to wash your hands.
- Bring your own food. Don't eat meals prepared by the airline's caterers, even if a flight attendant tells you there are no nuts or other allergens. You don't know if there has been cross-contamination in the preparation. Bring extra food in case of delays.
- Keep medication with you; do not store it in the overhead bin.
- If someone near you is eating a food that is dangerous to you, politely explain your situation and ask if they would be willing to stop. If they are, say thanks and offer to buy them some food that is safe.
- Keep your hands out of your eyes and mouth.
- Have a plan for what happens if you react.
- If you are reacting to something, tell the flight crew. It is important that they know about your condition.
After you fly:
- If you had a good experience, make sure to thank the flight crew for their efforts, and tell them you'll definitely fly with the airline again. Write a letter to the airline (copying the company president), expressing your appreciation, and noting that you will certainly travel with the company again and will encourage others to do so.
- If you have an unpleasant experience, write to the airline and politely explain what happened. Tell them that you and your family will think twice before flying with the carrier again. Also include information about what could have made your flight better.
- You can also lodge a complaint with the U.S. Department of Transportation or the Canadian Transportation Agency.

What is a notarial act?
As defined in the notary statutes, a notarial act is any act that a notary public of this state is authorized to perform, including taking an acknowledgment, administering an oath or affirmation, executing a jurat or taking a verification upon oath or affirmation, witnessing or attesting a signature, certifying or attesting a copy, and noting a protest of a negotiable instrument.
Are both my stamp and my signature required for a notarial act?
Yes. However, you also need to complete the notarial wording. Your signature and stamp by themselves do not constitute a complete notarization. You also need to complete the notarial wording.
When affixing my signature and using the stamp, how close together must they appear on the paper?
No certain distance is required by law. Both must appear on the document somewhere. Use reasonable judgment.
Does the document need to be signed in front of me?
Yes. The statutes require that you see the signer actually sign the document when the notarial wording is that of a JURAT. In the case of an acknowledgment, the person is simply acknowledging (declaring, stating) that he or she signed the document. If you not know the signer, he or she must present identification along with signing your journal.
Do I have to know what type of document I am notarizing?
Yes. The type of document is almost always described by its title e.g., affidavit, etc. This information must be entered in your journal.
Can I notarize a document that is written in a foreign language?
In most instances, yes. All you need is a title to put in your journal, and you can use the title the person gives you. However, you may not be able to witness a signature because you must be able to tell if that person is named in the document. If you are asked to certify a copy, you should make the photocopy yourself rather than try to compare two copies. You may need to check with an interpreter as to the type, or title, of the document. If this document is false or endorses or promotes a product, you will not know that. Finally, if the document is written in a language you can not read, you must add the notarial wording in English.
What if I am asked to notarize a signature that is on a blank piece of paper (no text)?
You must ask your customer to write an explanation as to why they want their signature notarized in addition to their signature. This statement may be as simple as: " I have been asked to have my signature notarized for verification"
If a person needs help formulating a document, can I give advice?
Must I be concerned with whether the form is properly filled out, as long as the notarial certificate is correct?
It's not the notary's responsibility to check that the form is properly filled out, but it is the notary's responsibility to make sure the notarial wording is correct and complete.
What should I do if I determine a document is forged or fraudulent?
Don't notarize it. As a responsible citizen, you should also report the crime to law enforcement although nothing in the notarial law requires this.
Can I take a deposition?
The authority to take a deposition was removed from the list of notarial acts in the law by the 1995 Legislature. Certified court reporters who have been appointed notaries public with limited powers take depositions.
How do I notarize a signature on a document that has carbons? Do I have to notarize each copy of the original document?
If the document signer wants original signatures on each of the carbons, then you notarize each page just as if each page was an original. If the document signer does not want original signatures on each of the carbons, but only wants to show that the original was notarized, then stamp each carbon with your stamp and write next to your stamp the words "conformed copy."
How many pieces of ID should I require?
As many as necessary to give you satisfactory evidence that the person whose signature is on the document is that person. One may be sufficient. If you rely on an identifying document, that document must contain a signature and a photograph of the document signer.
Should I note which ID was used in my journal?
Yes. The law requires that the notary enter into the journal a description of the evidence used to verify the identification of the signer.
If a credible witness is used, that person must also sign your journal. If you personally know the document signer, write "personally known" in the proper column.
Does a credible witness need to be present or can he or she verify identity by phone or letter?
The credible witness needs to be present.
Is a photo ID required?
The law requires a identification card with a photo and signature of the document siger must be on the identification card.
Are there any exceptions?
In 1997 the law was changed regarding identification of a person who is 65 years of age or older. If such a person does not have a picture ID, the person can be identified with a card issued by a governmental agency or senior citizen center. Use this method of identification only if there is absolutely no other way to identify the document signer.
Can I use an expired photo ID if the signature and photo match the person before me?
The statute doesn't address expired IDs. You, the notary, have to make the determination of whether the ID presented is satisfactory or not. You must be satisfied that the person making the acknowledgment/verification is the person whose signature is on the document.
How do I notarize the signature of someone who is from another country if that person's ID has been stolen?
The standard for determining identity is the same. If no written ID is available, a credible witness can be used. Remember, the credible witness must be present and known to you.
If I'm asked to notarize a document that is already signed, can I have the signer sign another piece of paper so I can compare the signatures?
The best procedure is to have the signer sign the document again in your presence, either above or below the original signature. You need not cross out the original signature. You may also have the person sign another piece of paper so that you may compare signatures. (Remember, however, this is not necessary when taking an acknowledgment.)
Can a "mark" be accepted as the individual's signature?
Yes, Nevada law, NRS 52.305 (1991) states:
- The signature of a party, when required to a written instrument, is equally valid if the party cannot write, if:
- The person makes his mark;
- The name of the person making the mark is written near it; and
- The mark is witnessed by a person who writes his own name as a witness.
- In order that a signature by mark may be acknowledged or may serve as the signature to any sworn statement, it must be witnessed by two persons who must subscribe their own names as witnesses thereto.
Do I have to purchase a special kind of journal? If so, where?
Yes, a special journal is required: one that is bound and has pre-printed pages. You may purchase one from an office supply store.
May two notaries share one journal?
No. Each notary is responsible for his or her own work and must be ready to stand accountable for the information entered in the journal.
During what hours must my journal be open for public inspection?
During the hours you would normally be at work.
How public is the notary journal? Exactly who can inspect it?
Anyone can inspect your journal.
Do I have to open my journal for public inspection when it may include confidential information such as social security numbers, account numbers, or address?
The journal is open to public inspection. According to law, the only seven pieces of information that must be in the journal are: the fee charged (if any), the title of the document, the date the service was performed, the name and signature of the person whose signature is being notarized, a description of the evidence used by the notary to verify the identification of the person whose signature is being notarized, and whether an oath was administered.
May I refuse to notarize for someone who refuses to sign my journal?
Yes, because the notary law requires that the journal be signed.
How long must I keep my journal?
You must keep your journal(s) during the entire period of time for which you are a notary public in this state. After your commission(s) expire and you are no longer a notary, you must keep all your journals for an additional 7 years.
If I stop being a notary or if I die, what happens to my journal?
Notify the Secretary of State writing as to the location of the journal if it is within the time frame described in the previous question. After this time frame, your estate may dispose of the journal(s). The stamp must be destroyed immediately.
Can I "hide" a document in my journal by giving it a false title in an effort to protect a client who does not want, for example, anyone to know he/she adopted a child?
No. The title of the document and person's name is required by statute to be in your journal.
Does every single transaction need to be recorded even if they are all for the same person?
What does "title of the matter" mean in NRS 240.120? Would it be "acknowledgment" or "loan agreement"?
It's the title of the document, so it would be "loan agreement."
May I have more than one stamp made to keep one at home and one at the office?
Yes. Remember, you need your Certificate of Appointment to get a stamp according to law.
How important is it that I use black ink for my stamp as opposed to some other color?
The notary law states that you may use any color ink as long as it is indelible and photographically reproducible.
When there is no room for the notarial certificate (such as on many DMV documents), may I use my stamp on the back or attach one on another piece of paper? How should I indicate that this is what I have done?
The notary stamp must be readable, and the 1997 law prohibits placing your notary stamp or your signature over printed material. You may use the back of the document or use an attached sheet. Note on the document that a notarial certificate is attached and note on the notarial certificate the kind of document to which it is attached. This will also apply if you notarized the back of the document. Keep in mind, the best place for the notary wording and your notary stamp is on the face of the document where the signature of the document signer appears.
May I, or must I, change the venue if it is printed with the wrong state or county?
You, the notary, authenticate all your acts by, among other things, setting forth the venue. This implies that the venue be true and correct, so if a document has an incorrect venue, you must correct it.
Should I keep my notary stamp locked away at all times?
It's a good idea to keep your notary stamp secure at all times, whether that's locked in your desk or someplace else.
Must I see the original document when notarizing a certified copy?
No, the law allows you to certify to a document presented to you. The notarial wording used to certify a copy does not indicate that you are certifying to an original document.
When I am asked to "certify to a copy" of a document and I notice that the notarial stamp on the original had in fact expired before the document was notarized, can I still certify to the copy?
Yes, as long as the copy is complete, accurate, and authentic. The notary does not determine the legality of any document.
If I am asked to make a certified copy, but the document is in a foreign language, can I refuse to do so on the grounds that I may actually be photocopying a document that cannot be legally photocopied?
Yes. However, you cannot refuse to notarize an affidavit or acknowledgment as long as all the other requirements are met.
Is it legal to certify a copy of a birth, death, or marriage certificate, or a decree of divorce, as being true and correct?
No, and the new law reflects this. Current Nevada law, NRS 440.175(2)(1993), states:
- No person may prepare or issue any document which purports to be an original, certified copy, certified abstract or official copy of:
- A certificate of birth, death or fetal death, except as authorized in this chapter or by the state board of health.
- A certificate of marriage, except a county recorder or a person so required pursuant to NRS 122.120 (the person solemnizing the marriage).
- A decree of divorce or annulment of marriage, except a county clerk or the judge of a court of record.
Does the law require that I photocopy the document after it's notarized for my file?
No, the law does not require it. Because of copyright laws, we don't recommend that you do this.
What is the difference between a jurat and an acknowledgment? Are they interchangeable?
No, the terms are not interchangeable. A "jurat" is that part of a affidavit in which you, the notary, state that it was sworn to before you."Acknowledgment" means a declaration by a person that he or she executed an instrument for the purposes stated therein and, if the instrument is executed in a representative capacity, that he or she signed the instrument with proper authority and executed it as the act of the person of entity represented and identified therein.
May I notarize my own signature?
May I notarize for a relative?
You cannot notarize for your spouse or anyone to whom you are related by blood. The law addresses this complicated question in detail. Please see NRS 240.065 for specifics.
What is meant by the term "executed" in NRS 240.065 and to whom does it apply?
"Executed" means signed and refers to the notary.
I am a loan officer. May I notarize my own documents?
The statute says, "a notary public cannot perform any act where he/she will receive directly from the transaction relating to the instrument any commission, fee, advantage, right, title, interest, property or other consideration in excess of the authorized fees."
May I notarize my own work if I am a secretary?
If you type a document, you may then notarize the signature as long as all legal requirements regarding ID are met. Remember, you cannot notarize your own signature.
Must I determine if the person signing before me understands what he or she is signing?
You are not obligated to make this determination. If you are not comfortable performing a notarial service, you may refuse (see NRS 240.060).
If the document does not have the printed information for a notarial act, what wording am I allowed to type in or affix, and how do I determine which notarial act is required?
See "What a Notary Does" in this handbook for suggested wording and a definition of each notarial act.
On a holographic will, do the witnesses' signatures need to be notarized as well as the signer?
Each state's laws regarding holographic wills are different. In Nevada, NRS 133.090(1) states that "[a] holographic will is one that is entirely written, dated and signed by the hand of the testator himself. It is subject to no other form, and may be made in or out of this state and need not be witnessed." So there are not necessarily any witnesses to a holographic will and no signatures need to be notarized in Nevada.
How is a notary's signature authenticated on a document in this country?
The act of authenticating a notarial officer's signature can be done only by the Secretary of State's office. You must let the individuals appearing before you know that they are responsible for sending their notarized document to the Secretary of State's office along with the appropriate fee of $20.00. The Secretary of State prepares the authentication and will then mail it and the notarized document back to the sender.
How is a notarized document authenticated for use overseas?
Most foreign countries insist that the notary's signature be authenticated and, again, this can only be accomplished through the Secretary of State's office. The act of authenticating the notarial officer's signature on documents going overseas is called an "Apostille" or "certification." You must let the individuals appearing before you know that they are responsible for sending their notarized document to the Secretary of State's office along with the appropriate fee of $20.00. The Secretary of State prepares the authentication and will then mail it and the notarized document back to the sender.
Can my employer deny me the right to notarize after hours?
No, your appointment belongs to you, the notary, not your employer (see NRS 240.010, 240.100(4), and 240.143).
May I set aside certain hours to notarize documents for the general public and limit notarization to those hours? (Example: 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. only)
This is a business decision to be made by each notary. The law does not prohibit such a practice.
Do I have to declare that I am a notary if a person off the street asks, "Where can I find a notary?"
No. The notary law simply states that "a notary public may, during normal business hours, perform notarial acts in lawful transactions for a person who requests the act and tenders the appropriate fee" (see NRS 240.060).
If I leave my current job and that employer paid for my becoming a notary, am I no longer a notary?
No, you are still a notary. However, be aware that the employer may cancel your bond, and you would be required to get a new one. If you are not allowed to take your stamp with you, it must be destroyed and you can purchase a new one. The stamp, journal, and Certificate of Appointment are the property of the notary (seeNRS 240.143).
Do I have to post the fees?
If you are going to charge, you must post the fees. If you don't charge fees, you don't have to post the fees (seeNRS 240.110).
What may I charge?
Current Fees as of October 1, 1999 (see NRS 240.100)
|For taking an acknowledgment, for the first signature of each signer
|For each additional signer
|For administering an oath or affirmation without a signature
|For a certified copy
|For a jurat, for each signature on the affidavit
Can I charge one person and not the next?
The statute doesn't require that you charge a fee. But if you charge one person and not another, other laws such as those prohibiting discrimination may be applicable. Check with an attorney.
If my employer pays for my notary appointment and equipment, who gets to keep the fees collected?
The statutes state that the notary can charge a fee. The issue of who keeps the fee in this example can be negotiated between you and your employer.
Why is it so cheap to notarize documents in Nevada; isn't it as good as in other states?
The Nevada Legislature determines the fees without reference to the notary policies of other states. The 1993 Nevada Legislature did increase the fees you can charge.
As a notary, can I make a "house call" to notarize a document?
Yes, but if a travel fee is going to be assessed, pursuant to NRS 240.100(3)(d)(1)(2), full disclosure of the travel fee must be made in advance of the travel and be agreed upon by the person requesting the service. All fees collected, the date and time of day must be recored in the notary journal.
I don't understand the fees for 'first signature, second signature. Could you please explain this in more detail?
IF you customer comes to you with one (1) document requiring you to notarize their signature on, you may collect $5.00. If they came to you with two (2) documents and required their signature notarized on both documents, you may collect $5.00 for the first document and $2.50 for the second document. Your total for this notarization would be $7.50.
IF two (2) document signers appeared before you requesting their signatures be notarized on one (1) document, you may collect $5.00 from each individual giving you at total of $10.00. IF this couple required their signatures to be notarized on two (2) documents, you could collect $5.00 from each for the first document and $2.50 from each on the second document. In this case, the total amount you may collect would be $15.00 for this notary act.
Can another notary administer the notarial oath to swear me in–as required by NRS 240.030(1)–or must the county clerk perform this function?
Another notary can administer this oath. So could the Secretary of State or a Deputy Secretary of State or another notarial officer such as a judge. Remember, the oath and bond must be filed with the county clerk of the county in which you reside.
What is the oath I administer when swearing in a notary?
You may use the following oath:
State of Nevada
County of _______________
I, ____________________, do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support, protect and defend the Constitution and Government of the United States, and the Constitution and Government of the State of Nevada, against all enemies, whether domestic of foreign, and that I will bear true faith, allegiance and loyalty to the same, any ordinance, resolution or law of any State notwithstanding, and that I will and faithfully perform all the duties of the office of Notary Public on which I am about to enter; (if an oath) so help me God; (if an affirmation) under the pains and penalties of perjury.
Subscribed and sworn to before me this
______________day of____________,19______
by ______(name of person making statement)
Notary Public
May I be appointed in more than one county in Nevada?
Your appointment authorizes you to notarize anywhere in the State, and the venue will reflect the county in which the notarial act is carried out. There is no need to be appointed in more than one county.
Must I transfer my bond and appointment if I move from one county to another?
The law requires that you amend your appointment by notifying the Secretary of State within 30 days of changing your county of residence. Consult your insurance company for the requirements of your bond.
I was recently married. Do I need to change my stamp, bond, and application on file with the Secretary of State?
If you change your name, you must amend your appointment by notifying the Secretary of State. You must purchase a new stamp to reflect your changed name with the same expiration date. Consult your insurance company regarding your bond.
Under what circumstances can my appointment be revoked? What are the penalties?
Your notary appointment may be revoked or suspended for a period of time to be determined by the Secretary of State for misconduct, willful violation, or neglect of duty. The fines range from $200 to $2,000 and are determined according to the reason your appointment was revoked. See the statutes for specifics NRS 240.150.
If my appointment is revoked, can I ever be a notary again?
Whether your appointment is revoked or suspended is determined by the Secretary of State following a formal hearing for misconduct or neglect. The finding will give specific instructions on future appointments.
How does one file a complaint about a notary?
Contact the Notary Division in the Secretary of State's office.
Who is covered by my bond?
The person who may incur a loss as a result of a notary's misconduct. This bond is not insurance for you and will not protect youfrom a lawsuit. You may want to purchase errors and omissions insurance. Consult an insurance agent for clarification.

Q. A leading Islamic cleric has begun a tour of America urging American Muslims to help shape the religion's relationship with the USA. Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf says Muslims should depoliticize their faith and that they should aim to make Islam be seen as an American religion, not an alien religion. Rauf, a Kuwait-born Muslim and an American citizen who has stated that he wants to improve relations between Islam and the West, is also the cleric behind the controversial Park51 Islamic center in New York, and has been criticized in some quarters for allegedly saying one thing to Western audiences and another to Muslim audiences.
Rauf is also the author of "What's Right with Islam: A New Vision for Muslims and the West," a book which aims for a reconciliation between Muslims and Westerners by finding a common ground and by emphasizing what's right with Islam, not just what's wrong.
Do you think American Muslims can bridge the chasm that's developed between Islam and the West since 9/11?
Or is Islamophobia so entrenched in American society that there will never be any kind of reconciliation? Could Imam Rauf's tour be the thing America needs?
I believe that the current tension between Islam and the West can be overcome, but that it won't happen quickly and it won't happen with words alone. As a historical precedent, I look to how Japanese Americans were treated after Pearl Harbor. The Japanese Empire was certainly guilty of a heinous attack against Americans, even as the Muslim extremists of today are. Loyal Japanese-Americans were falsely accused and unjustly treated, and that's also happened with many Muslim-Americans today. Yet Japan is now a national ally and Japanese-Americans are no longer vilified.
This reconciliation happened because the root cause of the tension was eliminated. The hostile, aggressive Japanese Empire was defeated and dismantled, and our country came to its senses again and realized that Japanese-Americans, like Muslim-Americans, are just people like us with the same fallible human nature that we all have.
Islam in America will struggle to find a popular common ground until the violent Muslim radicals are likewise defeated. In regard to dialogue and discussions, the appropriate words that settled Japanese/American hostilities were signed by Mamoru Shigemitsu on board the USS Missouri. Imam Rauf's public relations campaign may speak to Muslim-Americans, but because of his past actions, I don't believe he has much credibility with anyone else.
Two Bible passages will help us approach this situation sensibly. First, Romans 12:18 says, "If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men." Second, as Jesus told His disciples: "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore be shrewd as serpents, and innocent as doves" (Matthew 10:16).
Pastor Jon Barta
Valley Baptist Church, Burbank
Among the zillion words published on Imam Rauf and the controversial Park51 project, it was his link with the Sufi tradition that caught my attention. I first heard of Sufism as an undergrad in Comparative Religion 101 at my Lutheran college. Many years have passed, and I've managed to retain one beautiful thing of this mystical thread, nicknamed the "inner Islam."
"A loaf of bread beneath the bough, a jug of wine, a book of verse and thou, beside me singing in the wilderness — And wilderness is paradise enow."
This verse by Sufi poet Omar Khayyám in translation from Persian just doesn't sound like fundamentalist extremism to me, and neither does Rauf.
Many of us never did blame Islam and Muslim people for 9/11. If anything, the huge amount of U.S. media attention on them since 9/11, and on Park51 and other centers and mosques, should have helped educate us that Islam does not equal terrorism. Obviously I refer to the fact-based, rather than ax-grinding, media here.
The online Islamophobia Watch (http://www.islamophobia-watch.com) is a sobering but enlightening read, documenting acts of anti-Muslim bigotry worldwide. They also gather reports on organized efforts, mostly right-wing but with help from some leftist quarters, to create and sustain fear and suspicion of Islam.
Author Max Blumenthal terms it the "new Crusades." Operating at the margins of political life until 9/11, when it gained momentum, the Islamophobes went into high gear with the election of President Obama.
The chasm of misunderstanding about Islam is not so much entrenched in U.S. society as it is created by those who seek to gain politically by fanning the flames of religious hatred.

I am heartened to learn that a leading Islamic cleric has begun a tour of our country to help improve relations between Islam and the West and to try to depoliticize Islam. But I am concerned when I read that some people are already beginning to question both his integrity and his motives.
There is a Native American story that I think sheds important light on our need to find common ground in our lives and our religious values. It goes like this:
An old grandfather said to his grandson, who came to him with anger at a friend who had done him an injustice, "Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt great hate for those who have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down and does not hurt your enemy. It's like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die.
"I have struggled with these feelings many times, as if there are two wolves inside me. One is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. But the other wolf — ah! The littlest thing will send him into a fit of temper. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. Sometimes it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."
The boy looked intently into his grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which one wins, Grandfather?"
The grandfather smiled and quietly said, "The one I feed."
I believe that as people of faith, whatever our religious tradition, we need to look for common ground and to feed the wolf within who lives in harmony with all around him and takes no offense when none is intended. I am convinced that if we really do that, we can make our country and the world a more inclusive place. Only then can we hope to rid ourselves of Islamophobia. Only then can we truly live what we say we believe.

If we actually engaged such issues with our rational minds, Imam Rauf and other moderate Islamic voices would long ago have provided non-Islamic America with the information it needs to distinguish moderate, faithful Muslims from fundamentalist, terrorist Muslims. Unfortunately, however, people are rarely analyzing information when it comes to religion and politics — we are more likely to act out of irrational fear, especially when there are so many media voices fueling it. Conservative Christian and Jewish voices frame a worldview that generates fears of Muslim world domination. Americans who are tuned to a particular voice of the American media will hear this message reinforced frequently. Weigh that against the possibility that Imam Rauf's speaking tour might get one night's news coverage or one article in the newspaper, or that his book will be widely read.
On the other hand, it is possible that his speaking tour, which appears to be internal to American Muslims, will generate more passion within that community for an activist approach to service, peace and justice. Perhaps he will reach more young people seeking a faith that enlivens and energizes them, and direct that awesome energy into creating a better world for everyone.
Those of us in the Christian community engaged in seeking common ground will keep doing the same — fueling a passion for service, peace and justice, and building a desire to heal hate and fear. And we'll all keep working to live into a worldview in which there is no enemy to fear and no enemy to conquer — only other people on the planet, trying to live with dignity and joy.

The roles of Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and the Park 51 Islamic Center in New York are simply being overplayed. The trumped up controversy plays nicely into the hands of special-interest groups, and the media loves the sensationalism that the theater of confrontation creates. What gets lost is the authentic and more pervasive American-Muslim narrative.
Mr. Abdul Rauf is one individual doing excellent Islamic work through writings, interfaith dialogue and carrying out his civic duty as both Republican and Democratic administrations have called upon him to build bridges between the U.S. and the Muslim world. As a Muslim author and thinker, he has some great ideas, but he is one voice among many of the diverse American-Muslim leaders. I was an organizer of an art-and-music interfaith festival in 2004 called "God Loves Beauty" where the interfaith community in Los Angeles invited him to be a speaker. So while he does have some national recognition as an interfaith leader from New York, he was primarily put into the national spotlight by a strife fueled by the political agendas that come and then go.
The main issue is not the significance of Abdul Rauf's good ideas and his speaking tour, which I think would be beneficial. The central issue is that American Muslims are naturally integrating into our pluralistic society and are doing good work in their own communities. The alleged chasm that's developed between Islam and the West since 9/11 is not really happening here locally or in the Los Angeles area on a wide scale. The Islamic Congregation of La Cañada Flintridge, through its multitude of activities, has brought together the Muslim residents of the city with their fellow citizens around social issues that are important to all of us. Together, our community has defied the political partisanship and the vitriol of bigotry by building affordable housing through Habitat for Humanity, feeding the homeless in Skid Row, providing the annual Interfaith Baccalaureate Service for all graduating seniors and breaking bread during Ramadan.
There are also many other organizations based in Los Angeles that are doing their part in reaching out to the larger community and have been quite successful in disseminating correct information about the authentic teachings of Islam and what American Muslims are all about. Yes, Islamophia does exist in some parts of the country, and at times gets perpetuated by some pundits and special-interest groups, but for the most part, it is being eradicated on a daily basis by a civic-minded and engaged American Muslim community working together with the larger interfaith community.
No acts of overt reconciliation needed because we are united as one community of Americans, e pluribus unum.

I do not think Feisal Abdul Rauf's tour is helpful to the Muslim cause. He is too controversial, seems to speak with a forked tongue, and expresses no real revulsion to terrorism or regard for the terrorized. He's been quoted as saying the U.S. was an accessory to our own 9/11 tragedy because of our policies. That's like saying a woman was responsible for being raped because of what she was wearing, which isn't a far-fetched comparison, given that Islamic law (Sharia) generally disfavors rape victims and often punishes them to death.
Rauf blames Christianity for bombing Japan in World War II, as if dropping bombs during wartime is up to ecclesiastical law in America. He obviously doesn't make the distinction between our religious people and our secular government, and it doesn't appear that he wants to. If Rauf had his way, I believe he would like to see Sharia replace democracy in America, thereby replacing what has come to be the fruit of western civilization's generally Christian ethos.
Our religions are diametrically opposed, but that doesn't mean I disparage another man's right to worship whatever he wants, only that I do not want to help it proliferate, and I might remind the readers that nobody fears Christian suicide bombers.
I also do not like the term Islamophobia. Defined, the word generally includes hatred, prejudice, and unreasonable dread of all Muslims. It isn't the people, per se, but Muslim philosophy and its application about which Americans are leery. Is it not wise to keep our heads out of the sand with regard to this?
The Rev. Bryan Griem
Montrose Community Church, Montrose
Do most Americans have a good understanding of Islam? I don't think they do. Would it be helpful for well-respected American Muslims to tour the country with the goal of helping educate Americans about Islam and build bridges? Yes. Would it be helpful or detrimental for a controversial American Muslim, such as Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, to be a spokesperson for the Muslim community? I think it could be detrimental — the focus would be on him, rather than on his message.
I do believe that it is important for Americans to understand Islam and, for that matter, the politics of the Middle East. As I write, we are seeing uprisings in Tunisia, Yemen and Egypt. Recently, the Lebanese government went through a significant change. In the coming months, it is very possible that the landscape of the Middle East could be changed dramatically.
It is too early to tell whether these changes will be along the lines of secular moves to democracies or religious moves to theocracies, or a combination thereof. It is clear that the United States is in a tenuous position, as it has supported certain regimes that have promoted "stability" in the name of guarding against theocracies. However, this support has not endeared the United States to many in the Middle East.
Regardless of the outcome of the current strife in the Middle East, bridge-building in the United States is important. An example of this is the "The Islamic Translation Series." Brigham Young University (which is affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is one of its sponsors. This series is "designed not only to further scholarship in the study of Islamic philosophy, theology and mysticism, but, by encouraging the translation of Islamic texts into the technical language of contemporary Western scholarship, to assist in the integration of Islamic studies into Western academia and to promote global perspectives in the disciplines to which it is devoted."
By the small steps of many, a larger step can be taken by all.

Here is what concerns me: Saying one thing to Western audiences and another to Muslim audiences can breed mistrust, and in my opinion, at the very least suspicion.
Rauf says Muslims should depoliticize their faith and that they should aim to make Islam be seen as an American religion, not an alien religion. I agree with this.
With all the Muslims who have integrated into American life, then partook in attacking us, Americans lean toward being prudent now. And that makes sense to me. And of course we should accept, and even embrace, those who are our allies, and are true to their faith. All people and religions deserve respect – as long as individuals or groups do not intend to bring violence against us.
The Rev. Kimberlie Zakarian
LMFT, therapist, Pasadena
First of all, don't say, "Never!" While there is certainly a rift between mainstream non-Muslim-Americans and the religion of Islam, I'm too much of an optimist to say that such-and-such will NEVER happen.
After Pearl Harbor, there were Americans who regarded every Asian with suspicion. That's certainly not true now, is it? It's no big deal now that some Caucasians marry Asians, and some years down the line Christians will marry Muslims and Muslims will marry Jews and every combination that you can think of right now, and it will be no big deal.
I like the idea that Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is touring America and urging Muslims to make the effort that their faith be seen as an American religion. The truth is that America and American ideals are open to every person of every faith, and even to those of no faith.
As Emma Lazarus says on the Statue of Liberty, somewhat paraphrased, Send me all who are yearning to breathe free. And what does our Pledge of Allegiance say?
"With liberty and justice for all." Now what part of the word "all" do you not understand?
The Rev. Skip Lindeman
La Cañada Congregational Church, La Cañada
Yes, I definitely believe that American Muslims can — and should — help bridge the chasm that has developed between Islam and the West. The population of our country is made up of many different types of people who represent every culture, religion and ethnicity in the world. This serves as a powerful testament to the fact that Americans are at heart an accepting people who support integration and multiculturalism.
I disagree with the assertion that our nation is deeply Islamophobic — on the contrary, the foundation and strength of our republic lies in our ability to accept and assimilate people with different backgrounds and beliefs. However, this acceptance cannot come at the expense of our cherished values and vital commitment to liberty, equality and justice.
Our tolerance should not be automatically extended to those who are extremist or violent.
The unfortunate fact is that in most parts of the world today, Islam represents suppression of rights, religious fanaticism, and the demonization of the United States and Israel. The fear of these ideas spreading to our college campuses and population centers is real and present.
As I wrote previously in the column, I urge Feisal Abdul Rauf to unequivocally state his commitment to American and Western values.
Unfortunately, to date, he has failed to do so and has instead declined to rule out funding from Islamic extremists for his controversial center in New York. Furthermore, he has refused to describe Hamas as a terrorist organization and has been quoted as saying that "the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than Al Qaeda has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims."
Until Feisal Rauf comes clean and places himself squarely in the camp of American moral understanding, I fail to see how his tour will accomplish much. The idea of American Muslims launching a campaign to improve ties and deepen understanding between Islam and the West is certainly a good one. But Imam Rauf's efforts will likely ring hollow until he creates a genuine and sincere substructure to underpin his words.

Seamus' mom
24th October 2007, 06:16 PM
My 1 year old cavalier, Seamus, was diagnosed with CM yesterday via an MRI. His neurologist is recommending surgery over medication (due to Seamus' age and the long term effects of medication - and that medication treats the symptoms, but doesn't attempt to resolve the underlying issue). For those that have first used medication and then after using opted for surgery, what precipitated this decision? Has the surgery helped? Any advice would be welcome.

Point taken and yet when science introduced the idea of a multiverse to dispel the intelligent design folks noting of a creators hand being needed because the chances of what we have existing are so small, they opened Pandoras box. Suddenly everywhere, every possible outcome of ever moment is being exploited. So in some universe, maybe ours God Exists and in others he doesn't. Chances are somewhere this argument is already over.
And this coming from a person who quotes Carl Sagan.
In the other thread I have explained why the universe is apparently intelligently fine-tuned to bear life but it really isn't. In fact, if it was going to be fine-tuned by some divine Creator, don't you think this one could have made a better job? Why is the vacuum of space, which makes up the bulk of it, so deadly to us? Even a great portion of the non-vacuum (other stars and planets) are hostile to life. And why waste the moon? Some intelligent design!
With or without a multiverse, this universe could have stumbled upon the coordinates that barely make it hospitable to life. (This is how I would put it.)
I rest my case.

Back in the old days, almost every website had a sitemap where they listed out all the pages. The purpose of the sitemap is to help visitors and search engine spiders to find information on the site. Now, a lot of modern websites have dropped the sitemap page, instead they place the sitemap in the footer area. I'm going to review 20 websites (from big corporation to small portfolio sites) who organized their footer cleverly to enhance usability.
Benefits of Placing a Sitemap in the Footer
- Engage user click and visit duration:
As you may know, online readers don't read everything on the page, they scroll and scan. Footer is probably the last place they look at before exiting. Placing a sitemap in the footer may attract readers' attention and increase page clicks and views.
- Make sure your visitors are not missing out:
Sometimes your visitors might be too lazy to click on the sitemap link or miss it all together, having a sitemap in the footer can ensure your visitors are aware of every page.
- Use your footer to promote links:
You don't really have to use the footer to list out everything, you can use it as an alternative location to promote important pages.
- Save readers' time:
Having a sitemap in the footer allows users to quickly jump from page to page.
- You save the visitors a click:
By placing the sitemap in the footer rather than a separate page, you save the visitors a click.
- Enhance layout design:
Don't know what to put in the footer? Perhaps a sitemap can fill up the page and make your site look bigger.
Digg keeps their header nice and clean by placing only the content categories. The header is focused on the users while the footer is focused on the company.
Mozilla – Firefox
Thanks to the footer sitemap, with just a glance, I know exactly what pages are available on the Mozilla website.
What if you have a huge website (in terms of content), putting a full sitemap in the footer may be insane? You can learn from the clever Apple.com, split the sitemap into sections. For example, go to the Mac section, you will only see the Mac sitemap.
Although GoodBarry doesn't list out every page in the footer, but it does act as a sitemap where they list the pages with the most significant content.
White House
In the recent redesign of the White House website, browsing the site has been made easier by using the dropdown menus and sitemap in the footer.
Miro separates the sitemap with a text bar "Looking for something?".
Six Apart
You may also use the sitemap to connect to your network sites. Six Apart is a good example. In the footer, under the Six Apart Blog column, there are links to their sister sites: Typepad, Movable, and Vox.
In Clearspring, they split their Services section into two columns: Launchpad and WidgetMedia.
SquareSpace's sitemap tells you which pages you've visited already. Notice the visited pages have a tiny check mark instead of the regular triangle icon?
SugarSync displays only the main level of the site in the footer, the full sitemap lists all pages.
FreeAgent Central
Again, FreeAgent Central has a simplified sitemap in the footer with a link to the full sitemap.
FiveRuns creatively organizes their sitemap to put the main focus on their products.
Red Nose Day
I particularly like the "red nose" figures in the footer because they make the sitemap stand out.
Having too much empty space in the footer? Fill it with a sitemap. You don't need to have a lot of pages to make a sitemap (Tigers is an example).
Get Satisfaction
Get Satisfaction saves their header space by placing the main navigation (which is also their sitemap) in the footer.
Flashloaded sells Flash components, thus their footer sitemap only lists out the products.
Jamie Oliver
Jamie Oliver displays a simpified sitemap in the footer and also provides a link to the full sitemap.
Redbrick Health
Nice and clean 5-column sitemap.
FortySeven Media
I've been showing a lot of big corporation sites. What if you have a smaller site? FortySeven Media is a good example of what you do with a portfolio site. They use the footer to display the latest entries of their blog and portfolio work.
Jason Santa Maria
This one is my favorite. Not only does it look elegant, but it also attracts readers' attention by laying out the recent activities of the blog in a beautiful way.
Tips For Designing Footer Sitemap
Categorize – organize your links in categories.
Use Headings – use headings or titles for each category.
Be Consistent – the order of the links should be consistent.

Not everyone has a ton of money to sink into an amplifier. Apparently, you don't have to have a huge budget to get something very nice — something like the Emotiva UPA-500 5-channel power amp.
Launched back in July, the UPA-500 can crank 80 watts per channel into the typical 8-ohm speaker. It also has a heavy-duty power supply, an over-sized toroidal transformer, a flat frequency response and low distortion.
The reviewers at Audioholics took a closer peek at the component and said, "If you're looking for a step up in sound quality and power on the cheap, I can't think of a better option on the market." That certainly sounds like a ringing endorsement!
The website goes into more detail about the product, with listening tests, measurements and analysis, and more. Here is a slightly larger excerpt from their findings:
"The Emotiva UPA-500 is NOT a perfect amplifier. It doesn't turn milk chocolate to dark. It won't part the Red Sea, nor will it reverse climate change. It will, however, redefine the quality one comes to expect from a budget amplifier. The UPA-500 delivers clean, low noise, meaty amplification that will surely bring new life to a whimpering department store A/V receiver."
Check out the entire review on Audioholics — or go to the website's forum to share your thoughts.

I can see it now...The next RIAA brainwash campaign will use images of Uncle Sam telling kids that it is unconstitution and therefore against God to copy music. Oh and and 11th commandment will be added:
11. Thou shall always honor thy copyright holder.
Anonymous Coward, 15 Jun 2007 @ 7:20am
odd ruling?Seems more like it says "these two pieces of law appear to be in opposition. do the degree it is within the scope of this court's powers to choose a winner, here is out choice. there is a mechanism to resolve the conflict this court has highlighted. good luck with that. "

stupidest law evahmost performers already ban, and enforce, the no-bootleg policy if they are worried about it.
What about the performers who actually *encourage* bootlegging? This is a sick waste of time. Hey, congress, how about spending your time on something useful... like growing some cojones!
When bootlegging is outlawed, only outlaws will bootleg...
Overcast, 15 Jun 2007 @ 7:45am11. Thou shall always honor thy copyright holder.
hehe, yeah really.
I like my commandment of buying stuff.
Buy unto stuff that's actually worth the gold they want for it.
I find myself just patting my wallet back into place so many times. And you know - so I didn't buy that CD... no matter, I won't miss it anyway.
Listening to Music, Watching TV is fine and dandy - but not when it's more work that..... work!
I find it more relaxing to work on my car or mow the grass anymore, plus it keeps me in better shape.
Nyle, 15 Jun 2007 @ 8:24amThe biggest problem I have with all copyright law is this - The framers of the constitution specifically wanted intellectual property rights to expire. There are tons of good reasons for this including the benefit to society as previous intellectual property becomes public domain(open source). While I fully support the rights of artists and all intellectual property rights holders to make a fair and decent living off their works. I DO NOT SUPPORT - Corporations perverting the time limited nature of the constitutional protection of intellectual property.
The other issue I see is this - If a concert is held and no commercial recording is released that you can buy of it, then why can't a non commercial version be released. Otherwise, the performance is technically inaccessible to the public. I can tell you that the performances of some of the bands I love are totally different every time they do them. I own every album and every DVD from them. Who exactly again is hurt by me then buying content that isn't being sold by the artist or their representatives? I already own everything they sell commercially.
The same issue happens with any video/audio/text source that the publishing houses choose not to sell.
Let's say for one more example an old made for TV movie from 1978 - The World Beyond : The Mud Monster episode. Go and try to buy a legal copy of it somewhere? It's out of circulation and not available other than bootlegged. Who's intellectual property rights exactly are hurt by the bootleg copy of this work that is no longer sold?
Isn't the public hurt when an old audio/video/text is not longer available legally through any source because a corporation doesn't see a profit margin in getting the content out there? Yet, is the first to say no it's against the law for you to distribute a copy of that content that they don't sell? (Perhaps, my made for TV movie is a bad example of this hurt but you get the point.)
I will go out on the limb and say as a Citizen of the United States, I strongly believe that all Intellectual Property rights should expire no greater than the life of the artist(+ their S.O.) or 50 years whichever is longer.
After which point the Intellectual Property becomes the property of the people of the Units States of America and anyone can duplicate, perform or create derivative works thereof. If you believe as I do, why not write your congressman? We ultimately put them in office not the RIAA!

Anonymous Coward, 15 Jun 2007 @ 8:55amThe constitution is supposed to be set in stone law of the land, you can't ignore one part of it and follow just one, if that's the case let's just ignore the amendments that give women the right to vote, or blacks. When does it stop if we're just going to start ignoring certain parts of the constitution because it interferes with what we want to do we might as well just burn the damn thing.

Dave Matthews Band encourages bootleggingSorry for not doing a due diligence investigation but...
I have a friend who told me that The Dave Matthews Band allows bootlegging at their concerts.
So, if passed, this law wouldn't allow the band to freely give something away? It's not stealing if someone knowingly gives it to you, right?
Anonymous Coward, 15 Jun 2007 @ 9:44amThis is how they circumvent/ will circumvent the fact that organizations like Soundexchange are clearly in voilation of copyright law (Soundexchange make a profit off of the creative works/copyrights of other, whether those rights holders want them to or not), but yet remain totally "legal".
Anonymous Coward, 15 Jun 2007 @ 10:04amIn the circles of people who record bands bootlegging is a bad word. Most of the people that are into taping bands never sell any of their recordings. They distribute them freely.
The term "bootleging" insinuates selling.
Fred, 15 Jun 2007 @ 10:31am
Not quite as bad as you think...Not to rain on the "RIAA Sux!" parade, but this decision isn't quite as bad as it appears from the brief descriptions. First, the statute in question doesn't ban all taping of concerts or even all distribution of such recordings, just those recorded "without the consent of the performer or performers involved, knowingly and for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain." So if the performer says it's OK, go to town. You can certainly record for your own purposes, and can even arguably record and distribute for free, although if you agreed not to record the performance as a condition of admission, you're probably still in trouble.
Second, a required predicate for this decision was the conclusion of the Court that Section 2319A was not a copyright law, but a criminal statute more akin to a ban on trafficking in counterfeit goods. Had this been a copyright law that conferred rights on the artist, it could not be justified under the Commerce Clause. This would eliminate the more egregious cases, such as Congress extending rights in perpetuity under the Commerce Clause. It's still a bad decision, because I think the Court was wrong in concluding that this was not a copyright law, but it's not the inevitable slide down the slippery slope it's being made out to be. See fn 7 - the Court points out that its decision should not be consider justification for a law that would ban sale of recordings that are otherwise out of copyright, for example.
Susheel Daswani, 15 Jun 2007 @ 10:56am
Not really inconsistent....Mike, I think you mis-characterize the Court's analysis. I don't think there is anything inconsistent with the Court's analysis, with respect to finding the statute unconstitutional under one enumerated power but constitutional under another. In fact, that is perfectly logical, since the power of the federal government is one of enumerated powers. Since the power of the federal government is by definition limited, courts will find a statute constitutional if it is a valid expression of one of the federal government's enumerated powers. Here, the court did not find support for the statute in the IP clause, but did find it valid under the commerce clause. Whether the reasoning is correct is another issue - my point is that the methodology is not really 'odd'.
Anonymous Coward, 15 Jun 2007 @ 11:37am
Re: Not really inconsistent....
Whether the reasoning is correct is another issue - my point is that the methodology is not really 'odd'.It's "odd" because the court's ruling basically means that the commerce clause renders the copyright clause moot for any case involving any kind of "commerce", which would be just about any kind of case likely to ever wind up in court to begin with.
Susheel Daswani, 15 Jun 2007 @ 11:56am
Re: Not really inconsistent....I see your (and Mike's) point. That said, I'm not sure this broad interpretation of the commerce power is any more odd with respect to bootlegging that it is to private discrimination, i.e., under the Commerce Clause, Congress may prohibit private racial discrimination in activities that might have a substantial effect on interstate commerce. I'm sure there are many racists who in the 50s and 60s found the Ollie's BBQ ruling to be a big loophole :) .
Fred's point should allay your fears though - if the Court ruled this was a copyright law that was constitutional because of the Commerce clause, then that would be truly odd.

Re: Re: Not really inconsistent....
I'm sure there are many racists who in the 50s and 60s found the Ollie's BBQ ruling to be a big loophole :) .And now for the rest of the story: In Ollie the court ruled the commerce clause could be applied only in the absence of any other "express constitutional limitation". In this case the court ruled that the commerce clause actually overrides another constitutional limitation. Big difference. As a law student you should know the difference.
Chris Wuestefeld, 15 Jun 2007 @ 1:04pm
Nope, not inconsistentSusheel has it exactly right. The Constitution defines a list of powers that the People have ceded to the federal government. One of those powers is to grant patents or copyrights, but only for a limited time. Another power is to "Regulate commerce... among the several States". The fact that patents can only be of limited time doesn't mean that Congress doesn't have OTHER powers to regulate the use of the products of creative endeavors in other ways.
That said, the interstate commerce clause is badly abused. It tends to be the catch-all that is used as a fig leaf of justification for any darned thing the government wants to do. For example, the Constitution gives the federal government no authority over education, so how do we get a Department of Education, or a "No Child Left Behind" act? Well, it seems that having a good education facilitates interstate commerce... How does the government get to regulate guns (even if we do ignore the 2nd Amendment), EVEN WHEN they are manufactured and sold within the same state? Well, they MIGHT be sold into another state...
And none of this should be interpreted as a defense of what may well be an ill-conceived law.
Anonymous Coward, 15 Jun 2007 @ 4:13pm
The fact that patents can only be of limited time...The story was about copyright but if you want to add in patents OK, the same principle applies in this case.
...doesn't mean that Congress doesn't have OTHER powers to regulate the use of the products of creative endeavors in other ways.Just as a tax by any other name is still a tax, a patent or copyright by any other name is still a patent or copyright. The constitution doesn't say that patents or copyrights can only be 'called' such for limited time, after which they have to be 'called' something else.

A proposed self-serve frozen yogurt business at 5 East Highland Ave., formerly Balance fitness, was the subject of some controversy at the August meeting of the Development Review Committee last night. More than a dozen residents and near neighbors turned out to voice their opinions both for and against the proposal.
Businesswomen Alison Shoemaker and Leslie Newbold made their initial presentation before the committee Tuesday night, which is the first step in the month-long process of review that they hope will result in getting community association support for a variance.
Shoemaker told the committee that their plan is for an environmentally-friendly, family-oriented self-serve frozen yogurt business that would offer minimal seating inside, no seating outside, be "very environmentally conscious" and marketed to young families.
Opponents of the plan, however, said they were concerned that the business would serve as a potential focus point for teenage loitering, something near-neighbors say is already a problem in the adjacent Highland Avenue parking lot.
Shoemaker said that if their proposal is approved, they anticipate being open until 9 p.m. on weeknights and 10 p.m. on weekends. They added that those hours are not set in stone and could change depending on the amount of business.
Land Use Planning and Zoning committee co-chair (and father to two teenage boys), Larry McEwen expressed his support for the project even if it becomes a "hangout," given the lack of places in Chestnut Hill where teens can congregate.
Not everyone was as supportive.
Near neighbor and CHCA Board member Laura Lucas said she and her neighbors were concerned that there hasn't been enough "transparency" in the planning process for this business, but that the presentation had addressed many of those concerns. She added that there are other worries regarding loitering, trash, and parking.
"We do have a loitering problem in our area," she said, adding that people tend to congregate in the parking lot off Highland Avenue.
Near neighbor Carol Michaels, who shared concerns about transparency, loitering, and hours, asked the applicants whether they considered space on Germantown Avenue instead of along Highland Avenue where she believed the business might be better suited.
"Our property values are of a concern," she said.
Shoemaker said they had looked at several locations along the Avenue but that they liked the Highland Avenue location.
As the tone of the discussion inched toward linking an increase in crime in Chestnut Hill with certain businesses, McEwen cautioned against the cause and effect relationship between where crime occurs and where businesses are located. "We need to separate this proposal from the criminal activity we're seeing along the Avenue," said McEwen.
CHCA Board member Elizabeth Bales told the committee that the community association has a proven track record of forming committees that help neighbors and business owners discuss and resolve their differences.
"I'm very optimistic we'll be able to sort this out," she said.
The DRC closed discussion by referring the plans to the Aesthetics and Land Use Planning and Zoning Committees.
The Eye Institute
A new eye care clinic is moving to Chestnut Hill. The Eye Institute, the clinical practice of the Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University, will move its operations from 7145 Germantown Ave. in Mount Airy to 7630 Germantown Ave.
The office will occupy the former TLA Video and will be one of three eye-care clinics in Philadelphia under The Eye Institute banner. (The others are in Oak Lane and East Falls.) This will take the place of a Rita's Water Ice proposed for the site earlier this year. The institute plans to be open by Sept. 5.
Dr. Susan Oleszewski, Vice-President of Patient Care Services, presented several renderings of the proposed storefront to the DRC Tuesday night. She told the committee that The Eye Institute is proposing to install a cloth awning on an aluminum frame over two-thirds of the storefront, with overhead illumination.
DRC member Patricia Cove said the Aesthetics Committee was pleased with the design. DRC member Cynthia Brey, however, brought up the question of design standards and whether the property owner had ever provided any to the DRC. Cove said there have been attempts to contact the owner and work with him.
"This is a first step," she said.
Brey added that she believed the awning didn't match the façade. Cove countered that they were looking for ways to soften the façade, and to try and find a way to distinguish the businesses in the strip mall from each other.
DRC co-chair John Landis said he'd like to see a review of the privacy screening over the windows at the front of the building, saying it looked like white contact paper will be applied to the glass door.
"We don't want to slow down your process," said Landis, "but would you meet with our Aesthetics committee again in selecting a material for the window coverings?"
The DRC voted to support the awning and signs, provided The Eye Institute work with the Aesthetics Committee to make all necessary additional changes.

It should be clear by now that we are in an era where reliance on traditional approaches to analyzing currency markets is not sufficient in predictive effectiveness. In previous periods (pre-2008 collapse), technical and fundamental analyses were reliable methods for shaping currency trades. Forex traders could be in positions for days and even weeks. Today's markets are different. Central Bank monetary policies are punctuating price patterns and steering currency valuations. As a result, all eyes of market traders have been focusing on whether quantitative easing will continue. The consequence for traders has been a significant weakening of the value of both traditional technical and fundamental analytical approaches as predictive tools. Let's look closer at this conclusion.
Those traders who focus on price action are "chartists," and believe the price patterns hold the key to predicting. Those who focus on forces that move the prices are "fundamentalists," who believe economic forces such as interest rates, GDP, purchasing power and money supply provide the predictive variables for price direction. But there is an emerging third way we can call "sentiment analysis." Sentiment analysts believe that each week the market resets expectations and fears. Technical patterns of previous weeks become discounted as new concerns and upcoming event risks increase in their relevance. As each week begins, a new rebalance of fears holds the key to more accurate prediction. Sentiment analysis uses a wide set of tools and tries to detect market emotions and crowd behavior as guides to price direction. The challenge, according to the sentiment analysis mind-set, is not to predict prices, but to fade or follow the crowd. Sentiment indicators include traditional put/call ratios and the set of VIX indicators, but also the innovative tools such as text mining, word clouds and headline analysis. These provide sentimentalists powerful tools for winning the battle of prediction.
A classic example was the cover of The Economist magazine on Oct. 1, 2012. The cover shouted: "Be Afraid," and came out at the height of the Greek sovereign debt anxiety.
It is no coincidence that the DAX bottomed out with the appearance of this most scary cover. It was a classic contrarian indicator, demonstrating that traders can observe market emotions beyond chart analysis.
A more recent example in which sentiment analysis has trumped both technical and fundamental analysis is the USD/JPY price action. Fundamental analysts have looked to the deflationary conditions that have endured for more than a decade in Japan. They have argued that the BOJ should be changing policy to encourage expansion. But they had no clue as to when to buy USD/JPY. Technical traders saw a major breakout signal to buy the USD/JPY when it broke 80. However, they have been challenged by sell-offs since then. Both these approaches essentially are looking in the rear view mirror.
In contrast, sentiment analysts looked to the election of Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and the emergence of "Abenomics" as a strong signal that weakening of the yen was at hand. The parabolic pattern in the rise of the search frequency of the word "Abenomics" is highly coincident with the rise of the USD/JPY.
A major case in point for the value of sentiment analysis in currency trading was the week of April 5. On the Monday and Tuesday before the Wednesday BOJ meetings, the USD/JPY sharply strengthened because the "crowd" feared that the BOJ would not stimulate enough. The crowd was wrong and the USD/JPY surged on the "surprise news" of the huge 7.4 trillion yen ($1.4 trillion) purchases of bonds. The USD/JPY experienced a three-day, 6.4% surge that hadn't happened since 1988. Technical and fundamental analysts were surprised. But from a sentiment point of view the parabolic path of Abenomics in Google Trends had already generated a signal.
Increasingly in today's world, predicting price direction is really about predicting where traders are going. Fading or following that crowd is the ultimate decision challenge for the trader. Technical analysis of crowd behavior in markets is at an early stage in its development. But it will become a major third way of understanding markets.
