FCC chairman seeks to add fifth voice to AT&T vote
Commissioner had recused self but may be needed to break deadlock
By BRUCE MEYERSON
Associated Press
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/4374024.html
NEW YORK ? FCC Chairman Kevin Martin on Friday initiated a process that may
break the deadlock in the agency's vote on San Antonio-based AT&T's
proposed acquisition of Atlanta-based BellSouth Corp. by allowing a fifth
commissioner who had recused himself to participate.
Martin asked the general counsel for the Federal Communications Commission
to consider whether Robert McDowell ought to be authorized to participate
in the deliberations on the $81.6 billion deal, FCC officials said Friday.
The chairman sent letters to the relevant committees in Congress advising
them of the request. McDowell, one of three Republicans on the five-person
commission, had recused himself because he is a former lobbyist for a trade
group that opposes the merger.
Without McDowell, the vote has been deadlocked at 2-2, with Martin and
another Republican appointee favoring approval of the deal, and the two
Democrats demanding the companies offer additional concessions to ensure it
doesn't harm consumers.
The Antitrust Division of the Justice Department cleared the deal on Oct.
11, declaring that there were no competitive concerns and opting not to
require the combined company to divest any assets or make any other
concessions. The takeover, the biggest in U.S. telecommunications history,
also has been approved by regulators in 18 states, leaving the FCC as the
final hurdle.
The FCC's press office did not immediately respond to a call seeking
comment. A copy of Martin's letter to congressional leaders viewed by the
Associated Press expressed frustration with the holdup.
"Despite working for months to reach consensus with my colleagues, three
attempts over the past six weeks to have this item considered at an open
meeting, and countless hours of internal deliberations, the Commission has
reached an impasse," the letter said. "Given the Commission's inability to
reach consensus on this matter, I have asked the General Counsel to
consider whether the Government's interest would be served by permitting
Commissioner McDowell ? who has not participated in this proceeding so far
? to participate."
McDowell issued a short statement saying he looks forward to the general
counsel's analysis "regarding my potential participation."
McDowell once worked for the trade association COMPTEL, which represents
companies that compete with AT&T and the other regional Bell companies.
Federal ethics regulations permit the FCC's general counsel to clear
McDowell to vote if the "interest of the government in the employee's
participation" outweighs concerns about how the vote may affect the
agency's integrity.
Although Martin is calling in a Republican ally in McDowell, the chairman
still faces a difficult situation in seeking to get the deal approved
without irking the new Democratic majorities in the Senate and House.

Movie bootleg whiz gets 7 years
Johnny Ray Gasca is the first person to face federal charges for taping
inside a theater.
By Lorenza Mu?oz
LA Times Staff Writer
December 2, 2006
Johnny Ray Gasca, whose thriving bootleg film business earned him the
nickname "Prince of Piracy," was sentenced Friday to seven years in federal
prison for illegally taping movies in theaters and other crimes.
The sentence from U.S. District Judge Dean D. Pregerson in Los Angeles
marks one of the most significant victories for the government and
Hollywood studios in the stepped-up battle against movie bootlegs. As the
first person to face federal charges for using a camcorder to tape inside a
theater, Gasca, 36, had become the industry's anti-piracy poster boy.
The penalty was handed down 18 months after Gasca was found guilty of three
misdemeanor counts for taping "Anger Management," "8 Mile" and "The Core"
in 2002 and 2003. In addition, the jury found him guilty of four felony
charges: witness retaliation, interstate communication of a threat,
possession of false identification and fleeing the custody of his lawyer.
The government had asked for a 10-year sentence, but prosecutors said they
were satisfied with the punishment.
"The prosecution, conviction and substantial sentence imposed on Mr. Gasca
today shows the seriousness of his offenses and the fact that we take
copyright infringement as a very serious crime," said Elena Duarte, head of
the cyber and intellectual crime section of the U.S. attorney's office in
Los Angeles.
Gasca has already served a little more than two years cumulatively. He was
indicted on criminal copyright infringement charges in May 2003. The
following January he went on the lam less than a week before his trial was
to start by escaping his lawyer's custody at a Los Angeles drugstore.
Gasca was nabbed in April 2005 at a motel in Kissimmee, Fla. Recording
equipment, DVDs and video cameras were found in his room.
Gasca's attorney, David Reed, could not be reached for comment. Pregerson
on Friday denied Gasca's request for a new trial, rejecting arguments that
the case was part of a government conspiracy.
Hollywood studios made the Bronx-born Gasca, who once dreamed of meeting
such film luminaries as Miramax founder Harvey Weinstein, a central figure
in an aggressive campaign against piracy.
The Motion Picture Assn. of America trade group blamed Gasca and others for
costing the industry an estimated $3.5 billion a year. "We are pleased that
the court recognized Gasca's crimes today with a fitting punishment," MPAA
Chairman Dan Glickman said in a statement.
Prosecutors maintained that Gasca was a particular problem because few
people could match his ability to make high-quality copies for duplication
and computer downloading.
Gasca's sophisticated equipment included a remote zoom lens and monitor
devices, a belt with a camera and an infrared sound receiver. Gasca's case
was notorious in part because he kept a diary that chronicled his pirating
exploits. He said he made as much as $4,500 a week selling movies and
bragged that having movies before their release dates made him popular with
women.
In September 2002, Gasca was thrown out of a screening of Paramount
Pictures' "The Core" after studio employees noticed him taping the movie.
He was arrested by Burbank police and charged with misdemeanor burglary,
according to the court file. After being released on bond, he was caught
again a month later at a screening of Universal's "8 Mile," starring
Eminem, when a studio executive noticed the "glowing green light"
surrounding him.
In January 2003, Gasca was nabbed at a Thousand Oaks theater while taping a
Revolution Studios preview of "Anger Management," starring Adam Sandler.
During the trial, prosecutors showed a tape of Gasca and two accomplices
sitting in the front row taping.
Gasca maintained his innocence throughout his trial, arguing that his
taping wasn't illegal when he did it and that he was just a collector of
old kung fu movies.
Since the 2003 arrest, the government has successfully prosecuted one other
felony camcorder case and numerous piracy cases. Gasca was one of several
colorful bootleggers who populated Hollywood's most-wanted list.
Another key figure, Russell Sprague, is believed to have had a long career
in movie piracy. In March of last year, he was found dead in his Los
Angeles jail cell of what appeared to be a heart attack. At the time,
Sprague was awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to illegally making
copies of 134 movies.

The antigay obsession
By Derrick Z. Jackson, Globe Columnist | November 18, 2006
ALL IN THE same week, Governor Mitt Romney, the US Catholic bishops,
the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina, and the Presbyterian
Church USA drove themselves nuts over homosexuality.
Here in Massachusetts, despite ample evidence that two years of
same-sex marriage have not destroyed straight life in the
Commonwealth, Romney is helping plan a rally tomorrow for a statewide
referendum to ban it. A month ago, in one of his sky-is-falling
speeches, Romney said "activist judges struck a blow to the
foundation of civilization, the family." He went so far as to say,
"The price of same-sex marriage is paid by the children."
In Washington, the bishops passed a bizarre set of guidelines called,
"Ministry to Persons with a Homosexual Inclination." In the same
breath, they claim to be "welcoming" to gay and lesbian people, then
tell them to be chaste and stay in the closet about their sexual
orientation. The bishops remain resolute that being gay or lesbian is
"disordered."
The Baptist State Convention of North Carolina voted to expel
congregations that affirm homosexuality period, let alone gay
marriage. "In our day and time, no other sin marches so defiantly
across our national landscape," expulsion proponent Mark Harris was
quoted as saying in The Washington Post. The Presbyterian Church was
so fearful of this "march" of "sin" that it was going to put the Rev.
Janet Edwards on trial for marrying a same-sex couple. Charges were
brought too late and were dropped.

Hatred of Rachael Ray can be a powerful uniting force
By Rob Walker | November 26, 2006
Consumer culture and indeed popular culture revolve in large part
around shared admiration, shared likes: Fandom, in a word, is a thing
that can bring us together.
But what about shared dislikes? Can a community form around that?
What is the opposite of a fan club? The answer is the Rachael Ray
Sucks Community.
Gathering by way of the blogging and social-networking site
LiveJournal, this group has more than 1,000 members, who are quite
active in posting their latest thoughts and observations about the
various shortcomings, flaws, and disagreeable traits of Rachael Ray,
the television food personality.
"This community," the official explanation reads, "was created for
people that hate the untalented twit known as Rachael Ray." The most
important rule for those who wish to join: "You must be anti-Rachael!"
As with any community, the key to attracting members is not just a
clear core idea but one that can be fulfilled in a variety of ways.
Members of the Rachael Ray Sucks Community certainly do this,
criticizing her cooking skills, her over-reliance on chicken stock,
her kitchen hygiene, her smile, her voice, her physical mannerisms,
her clothes, her penchant for saying "Yum-o," and so on.

Health Hazard: Computers Spilling Your History
By MILT FREUDENHEIM and ROBERT PEAR
December 3, 2006
BILL CLINTON'S identity was hidden behind a false name when he went
to NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital two years ago for heart surgery, but
that didn't stop computer hackers, including people working at the
hospital, from trying to get a peek at the electronic records of his
medical charts.
The same hospital thwarted 1,500 unauthorized attempts by its own
employees to look at the patient records of a famous local athlete,
said J. David Liss, a vice president at NewYork-Presbyterian.
And just last September, the New York City public hospital system
said that dozens of workers at one of its Brooklyn medical centers,
including doctors and nurses, technicians and clerks, had improperly
looked at the computerized medical records of Nixzmary Brown, a
7-year-old who prosecutors say was beaten to death by her stepfather
last winter.
Powerful forces are lobbying hard for government and private programs
that could push the nation's costly and inefficient health care
system into the computer age. President Bush strongly favors more use
of health information technology. Health insurance and medical device
companies are eager supporters, not to mention technology companies
like I.B.M. and Google. Furthermore, Intel and Wal-Mart Stores have
both said they intend to announce plans this week to embrace
electronic health records for their employees.
Others may soon follow. Bills to speed the adoption of information
technology by hospitals and doctors have passed both chambers of
Congress.
But the legislation has bogged down, largely because of differences
over how to balance the health care industry's interest in
efficiently collecting, studying and using data with privacy concerns
for tens of millions of ordinary Americans - not just celebrities and
victims of crime.
Advocates of such legislation, including Representative Joe L.
Barton, the Texas Republican who is the chairman of the House Energy
and Commerce Committee, said that concern about snooping should not
freeze progress on adopting technology that could save money and
improve care.

The Truth About Digital Cameras
David Pogue
NOVEMBER 21, 2006, 9:35 AM
As loyal Pogue's Posts readers are no doubt aware, I've spent the
last seven weeks in TV land, filming a first batch of six episodes of
my new Discovery-network series, "It's All Geek to Me." It was an
exhilarating, exhausting, enlightening journey. Someday when we're
all together, I'll tell you about it.
Actually, I'll tell you about one thing right now. We did an episode
on digital cameras. Part of the fun involved visiting a couple of big
electronics stores, posing as somebody who didn't know much about
cameras, and, later, commenting on what they told me.
The clerks at one store recognized me. The guy at the other store had
no clue that I'm a tech writer. Both of them were surprisingly frank,
pointing out, for example, that five megapixels is plenty for prints
up to smallish poster size.
Now, every time I write that, I hear from furious or baffled readers.
"I don't get it," wrote one. "A ten-megapixel camera produces photos
about 3640 pixels wide-enough to make a 12-inch print at 300 dpi
(dots per inch) on a good printer. Sure, you can go lower, but
quality is sacrificed; you can't make an 11?14 print, let alone
anything bigger."
I have to say, the math sounds right. But I also have to say that
he's wrong.
On the show, we did a test. We blew up a photograph to 16 x 24 inches
at a professional photo lab. One print had 13-megapixel resolution;
one had 8; the third had 5. Same exact photo, down-rezzed twice, all
three printed at the same poster size. I wanted to hang them all on a
wall in Times Square and challenge passersby to see if they could
tell the difference.
Even the technician at the photo lab told me that I was crazy, that
there'd be a huge difference between 5 megapixels and 13.
I'm prepared to give away the punch line of this segment, because
hey-the show doesn't air till February, and you'll have forgotten all
about what you read here today, right?
Anyway, we ran the test for about 45 minutes. Dozens of people
stopped to take the test; a little crowd gathered. About 95 percent
of the volunteers gave up, announcing that there was no possible way
to tell the difference, even when mashing their faces right up
against the prints. A handful of them attempted guesses-but were
wrong. Only one person correctly ranked the prints in megapixel
order, although (a) she was a photography professor, and (b) I
believe she just got lucky.
I'm telling you, there was NO DIFFERENCE.
This post is going to get a lot of people riled up, I know, because
in THEORY, you should be able to see a difference. But you can't.
And I'm hoping this little test can save you some bucks the next time
you're shopping for a camera.

Airplane Technology Takes Flight
David Pogue
NOVEMBER 9, 2006, 10:01 AM
Greetings from 39,000 feet!
I'm writing to you on my laptop on a flight across Canada, courtesy
of something I've never encountered before: full-blown, three-prong,
U.S.-style power outlets on every seat back.
Not some wacky jack that requires a $70 adapter - we're talking
regular three-prong outlets. Not in first class; in coach. Free, by
the way.
Why is it, I wonder, that Air Canada is the pioneer here? Isn't it a
sort of obvious idea - way more obvious than putting TV screens in
everyone's seat back? I mean, if you have power, you can supply your
own entertainment: a laptop, game, portable DVD player, whatever.
Each seat back on this plane also has a touch-screen entertainment
unit with a choice of TV, radio, movies, games, and so on. Now, I've
seen TV screens on planes before (they have them on JetBlue, on
international flights and in first class) - but not like this. On
this plane, there's no set schedule for movies beginning; every
single seat has its own little TiVo. You can start, stop, pause,
rewind or fast-forward any movie at any time, completely
independently of the other passengers' showings.
It makes a huge difference. (Ever try to watch a movie on a plane
while you're traveling with young children? I rest my case.)
Oh, and Air Canada doesn't charge for any of this, either. (On the
other hand, I don't much care for the way this airline throws away
200 pairs of complimentary headphones after each flight.)
Dear U.S. Carriers: If you're really looking for a competitive
advantage, find out who's supplying Air Canada with these goodies.
You know what's weird, though? No wireless networking. We all thought
that was coming, right? We'd hear about how Lufthansa flights already
have on-board Wi-Fi high-speed wireless, and that it was only a
matter of time before it came to North American carriers.
But even as entertainment screens are developing nicely, wireless
Internet is taking a big step backward-maybe even off a cliff. Boeing
is shutting down its Connexion Wi-Fi service, which is what Lufthansa
and other airline experiments were using. Its Web site says, "The
company has decided to exit the high-speed broadband communications
connectivity market." The service is free until the end of 2006, but
at that point, it's being turned off altogether.
And why is Boeing pulling the plug? Because "the global market for
the service has not developed satisfactorily." Translation: It was
losing money hand over fist.
Evidently not enough airlines outfitted their planes with the
transmitters (at $500,000 apiece).
Surely some other company could step in and rescue the on-board Wi-Fi
industry? But no. "There are currently no plans to transition the
service to another provider."
That's a bummer. (I may be typing this at 39,000 feet, but I'll be
sending it at sea level.)
Then there's the little matter of cellphones. Turns out that there's
really not much evidence that cellphones cause cockpit interference;
no study has ever been able to establish proof. In fact, there's now
a discussion about perhaps relaxing the restrictions on cellphones on
planes.
I just hope they know what they're doing. Removing the ban means you
might be the unlucky slob who has the loudmouth yakking away next to
you for four hours. At this point, planes are the last refuge of
people who want to hear themselves think ? or watch movies.

Here's My Number (for Today)
By ANNA JANE GROSSMAN
The New York Times
November 30, 2006
THERE is no shortage of ways to reach Airin McClain, a singer who
lives in Philadelphia. She has a Web site, an instant messenger
account, a MySpace page, four e-mail addresses and two mobile phones.
Good luck getting one of those phone numbers, though. She would
sooner tell you her weight.
"Why would I give out my cell?" said Ms. McClain, 23. "I don't need a
guy I met at a bar one night calling me every day for the next two
weeks begging me to go out. I want to filter out the people I don't
need to have contact with."
In an age of information oversharing, the mobile-phone number is one
of the few pieces of personal information that people still choose to
guard. Unwanted incoming calls are intrusive and time-consuming and
can suck precious daytime cell-plan minutes. And the decision to give
out a cell number can haunt you for years, as people now hold on to
the numbers longer than their land-line numbers.
Some people have found a way to avoid compromising the sanctity of
their cellphone without committing the modern sin of being
unreachable. Instead of giving out her cell number, Ms. McClain has
recently been dispersing what has become known as a "social phone
number."
This is a free number that is as disposable as a Hotmail address. A
handful of Web sites are creating these mask numbers, which can be
obtained in nearly every area code (users can either have a number in
their own region, or make it look as if they have an office in New
York City when they are actually operating out of rural Maine).
These sites buy numbers in bulk at a discount, then generate profit
by displaying ads and getting users of the free service to upgrade to
billable plans with features like call forwarding, call blocking and
outbound calling.

The Executive Producer of 'The Daily Show' and 'The Colbert Report'
Is Leaving
By JACQUES STEINBERG
The New York Times
December 2, 2006
It's probably not an analogy Jon Stewart would appreciate, given his
politics, but since soon after he began his run on Comedy Central's
"Daily Show" in 1999, Ben Karlin has served as Karl Rove to Mr.
Stewart's George W. Bush, if not his Dick Cheney.
So it has come as a shock that Mr. Karlin, an executive producer of
both Mr. Stewart's show and "The Colbert Report," has decided to
leave those jobs at the end of this month.
The sense of intrigue has only been heightened by the way word got out.
Hired by Mr. Stewart, based largely on his work at the satirical
newspaper The Onion, Mr. Karlin moved from head writer of "The Daily
Show" in the summer of 1999 to executive producer in 2003. While
still holding that position, Mr. Karlin, 35, helped Mr. Stewart's
production company, Busboy, start "The Colbert Report," with Stephen
Colbert, for Comedy Central last fall as an executive producer, and
then presided over the writing staff for Mr. Stewart's appearance as
host of the Academy Awards telecast earlier this year.
