...halt all investments in the energy sector. And Ross doesn't want to stop there. The U.S. has pushed Russia, a major trading partner of Iran's, to be ready to commit to sanctions on businesses unrelated to Iran's nuclear program - something Russia has resisted. In a secret letter in early February to Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, Obama wrote that the U.S. would abandon its plans for missile defense in Poland and the Czech Republic - which the U.S. has always justified by referring to an Iranian threat - if Russia would help bring Iran into compliance with its international nuclear...
...well, the perfect hatchery for the Empirical Presidency. It is the most heavily researched children's show ever, conceived by an experimental psychologist, incubated in a Harvard seminar room, vetted by linguists and nutritionists and child-development experts (who once vetoed a segment in which Elmo crawled inside the letter O because they feared that a toddler might see it as permission to climb into a toilet). Obama famously prizes intellect over instinct; he says he wants to see the data and for the data to drive the decision. Sesame writers test-drive their skits on focus groups of young...
...beginning of April, when the French plans still looked solid, Geoff Taylor, Chief Executive of BPI, a body that represents the British music industry, said, "Britain's creative industries must not lose out to those of other countries where copyright infringement is being dealt with."

The Government must make...
...Aside from Springsteen, most artists are reluctant to bad-mouth the merger. Experts speculate artists fear retaliation and recall the losing battle Pearl Jam fought against Ticketmaster in the mid-1990s. But Ticketmaster has its fans - Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan sent Congress a letter gushing support for the proposed merger. The letter was an about-face for Corgan, who in the past was critical of Ticketmaster's system and opted to use Jam Productions instead of Live Nation for some of his tours. However, Corgan is now a client of Azoff's Front Line artist-management company within Ticketmaster...
...Mufti the former chief minister, says the region and its people will continue to suffer economic and personal losses in incidents unless Indian armed forces are recalled from populated areas and the laws which give them impunity are repealed. In a letter to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, he asserted that the effort that had gone into creating a new atmosphere of peace, reconciliation and resolution in and around Indian-administered-Kashmir "seems at a real risk of going waste unless immediate retrieval is made." Ostensibly in an acknowledgement of the situation being serious enough, Indian home (interior) minister...
