...this puts a cloud over Ticketmaster's merger plans. "I think [the merger] would be a catastrophe for the entertainment business," said Representative Bill Pascrell, a New Jersey Democrat who demanded congressional hearings into the matter. "Given Ticketmaster's recent mishandling of Bruce Springsteen's tour and other shows, it is clear that this company's questionable business practices warrant sharper scrutiny." Earlier this week, the Congressman introduced a bill, named the Boss Act, that calls for ticketing companies to disclose how many tickets are being withheld in primary public ticket sales and a 48-hour waiting period before tickets...

Indeed, Obama could tell the Pentagon that, as a general matter, it is not in the best interest of the armed forces to expel a service member solely...
...double-digit leads in some polls. A savvy, veteran fundraiser, he's raked in $6.9 million, nearly as much as his two opponents combined: Moran has raised $4.8 million and Deeds $3.8 million. McAuliffe, who has made a fortune in real estate and Internet investments mostly with Democratic donors, bills himself as the candidate best qualified to bring jobs to Virginia. He is so intent on following Obama's successful playbook that he is in essence trying to replicate the former senator's grass-roots campaign. In the final 72-hour sprint to the finish line, the McAuliffe campaign...
