Cory's Road to Harbin,
China
• Troy Cory was among the
first international entertainers and the
first American entertainer to perform in
the People's Republic of China, beginning
in 1988. In itself a notable
culture-historical feat, in view of
China's closed door policies of the late
70s and well into the 80s. The PRC's
administrative climate in comparison is
much less restrictive now and China's open
door policy enables many entertainers to
introduce themselves to the populace

She delivered the Masterpieces to them.
--
. . . But
rather than becoming excited they acted
like godless heathans, thinking "so what?"
She felt frustrated, angrry and
disappointed all of which she did her best
to conceal.
• It Was Her D-Diaries That
Reveled The Method She Used . . . to light
the fire of excitement to the
World?
•101-
It was just last week, (Nov 16th, 2012)
--
that
Josie Cory & Margit
Seelos discussed the contributions of
their respective husbands musical talents
to the world. It was in the late 1970s
that found the two women pushing both
grown men to play Santa Claus, elves, and
create the musical scores for the
German/USA production film "Merry
Christmas;" and YouTube.com sequels:
"Just in the Nick of Time,"
starring Priscilla Cory, as
"Little Miss Santa," and featuring
the late German singer, Manuela.
The Movie itself was Produced by VRA
TelePlay Picture's, Josie Cory;
Bohemia Film's Williams Janovsky;
and ARD's Gábor Wagner.
• The Feature Movie was filmed in
--
and around the city of Munich,
Nymphenburg and Castle Neuschwanstein,
Germany and in Oberndorf, Austria, the
small village and church where the
Christmas carol "Silent Night" was
performed for the first time on December
25, 1818.
•
The moral to the Story? . . .
No matter
how old you are . . . if you have VISION
and a DREAM . . . do what the little
princess did. Use the same FAITH and
decisiveness and take
"ACTION."
•
Bing
Crosby did . . . Jimmy Stewart did . .
.
and so did Troy Cory and Ambros Seelos.
None of the performers specifically or
exactly knew what, where and how the words
to those song they sang would be accepted
by the listener. It takes "ACTION,"
"VISION, and the "FAITH" of a . . . "I
Wish You A Merry Christmas," or the sound
of "Jingle Bells," -- . . . to connect
the monetary RESULTS, and value, to each
other. 
•
Most of us don't even know
--
the
true meaning of CHRISTMAS! You have no
idea how demoralizing that is to the new
kids being introduced each year to the
Yule Time event," says the little
princess, now known as: "Little Miss
Santa." . .
.
Around Castle Neuschwanstein, and the
small village and church of Oberndorf
where the Christmas carol "Silent
Night" was performed for the first
time on December 25,
1818,
the forest are full of Christmas
Trees.

The vocals, sound tracks and string

were provided by Troy Cory, Ambros Seelos,
and "The Munich Philharmonics." The piano
and musical arrangements were conducted by
Ambros Seelos and Sylvester

Levay who garnered a Grammy Award for
"Fly, Robin, Fly," and wrote the music

highway that circles Rome by director
Gianfranco Rosi.

was the first time an Italian film has won
the top prize at Venice in 15 years, when

ovation during its official world
premiere, but mixed international
reviews.

Rosi called the award a
breakthrough for documentaries, which were
included this year for the first time in
the main competition.

didn't expect to win such an important
prize with a documentary," Rosi said. "It
was truly an act of courage, a barrier has
been broken. Now finally documentaries are
being seen alongside fiction, therefore
documentary is cinema."

101- Los Angeles Int'l Airport
showcased
By Gary Sunkin
On Saturday morning, June 22,
officials, joined by Tom Bradley family
members, will rededicate the newly
refurbished 10-foot-tall Tom Bradley
bronze bust that welcomes departing
passengers as part of a remodeled terminal
entry; and nearly 12,000 Angelenos will
participate in LAX Appreciation Day, a
community open house.
••••
Mayor Villaraigosa and LAX officials
unveiled new aircraft gates in the Tom
Bradley International Terminal (TBIT). The
gates feature laser-based docking
technology and computerized boarding
bridges to accomodate larger aircraft like
the Boeing 747-8 and Airbus 380.
••••
Antonio R. Villaraigosa, in one of his
last functions as mayor of LA, was joined
by airport officials, business leaders,
local celebrity chefs, and media from
around the world to launch a series of
unique events designed to showcase Los
Angeles International Airport (LAX) and
create global excitement for the New Tom
Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) at
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
before construction is completed later
this year.
••••
Thursday night Westfield hosted a Preview
Gala where media, industry leaders, travel
and tourism stakeholders, and the many
project partners and individuals that
helped bringing the new terminal to
fruition gathered.
d••••
The preview events provided a sneak peek
of the South Concourse Aircraft Gate Areas
and 150,000-square-foot Great Hall, which
will soon impress passengers from around
the world with more than 60 premier dining
and luxury retail shops &endash; including
22 local L.A. brands &endash; and
world-class amenities. A highlight
of the New TBIT is one of the most
advanced multimedia Integrated
Environmental Media Systems (IEMS) at a
North American airport, designed to create
an unprecedented passenger experience and
a non-aeronautical revenue source for
LAX.
••••
The Preview Gala featured the grand
premiere of the 72-foot-tall digital Time
Tower, a soaring interactive media
structure with changing clock faces that
is one of the most significant elements of
the state-of-the-art IEMS. The
Hollywood Scoring Orchestra will provide a
once-in-a-lifetime musical experience with
the debut of an original symphonic
overture, Portale &endash; A Symphonic
Poem, especially composed by Emmanuel
Fratianni and Laurie Robinson and
commissioned by Westfield. The piece
celebrates the New TBIT and will be
dedicated to the people of Los
Angeles. The performing ensemble of
70 will feature special performances by
the International Children's Choir,
multi-ethnic percussionists, and
world-renowned soloists.
••••
The New TBIT is considered the crown jewel
of the $4.1-billion LAX Capital
Improvements Program-Phase 1, the largest
public works project in the history of the
City of Los Angeles.
••••
The New TBIT Project is creating nearly
4,000 construction-related jobs during the
project's five-year schedule and nearly
2,000 permanent concession jobs when the
terminal begins operations. The
facilities previewed today are expected to
become operational later this year
following comprehensive systems testing
throughout the terminal, as well as
training and certification of thousands of
airport and airline employees in operating
some of the new, state-of-the-art systems,
such as the new laser-based, automated
passenger boarding bridges and aircraft
docking systems.
••••
While renowned for being a hub of high
technology, and for the glamour associated
with Hollywood, Los Angeles &endash; named
for the Queen of Angels &endash;

Summer Season Opens at Disneyland Park,
May
25, 2013 with dazzling new live
show.
By
Gary Sunkin
 Walt
Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort
will kick off a Monstrous Summer by
keeping three theme parks open for 24
hours nonstop on Memorial Day Weekend, the
traditional start of the family travel
season.
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Mickey Mouse and a cast
of beloved Disney characters will embark
on a series of musical adventures through
the magical powers of a sorcerer's map in
"Mickey and the Magical Map," the all-new
live show coming to the Fantasyland
Theatre in Disneyland Park May 25,
scheduled for five daily performances.
••••
Created by Disney Creative Entertainment,
"Mickey and the Magical Map" was conceived
for children of all ages and represents
the return of Disney storytelling to the
newly refurbished Fantasyland Theatre, a
venue that merges the tradition of live
outdoor performances with theatrical
technology. Performed in the most magical
of lands, Fantasyland, the new show
reveals a mischievous Mickey Mouse, in his
timeless role as the sorcerer's
apprentice.
••••
Fantasyland Theatre, a classic Disneyland
venue, was inspired by the original
Fantasyland Theater (former spelling)
which showed Disney cartoons and
Mouseketeer footage from 1955 to
1964. The current theatre debuted in
1985 as Videopolis, a dance location,
which quickly drew crowds for stage
productions including "One Man's Dream,"
"Dick Tracy Starring in Diamond Double
Cross," "Mickey's Nutcracker," and one of
Disney's first stage productions of
"Beauty and the Beast."
••••
In 1995, the venue was renamed Fantasyland
Theatre with the debut of "The Spirit of
Pocahontas." "Animazement -- The
Musical" enjoyed a popular three-year run
and "Snow White--An Enchanting Musical"
played for two years. The theatre was then
converted to an area where guests could
meet Disney Princesses.
••••
President of the Disneyland Resort,
Michael Colglazier, said "We're thrilled
to debut our captivating new show 'Mickey
and the Magical Map' and to invite guests
to experience Fantasy Faire, a new themed
area with Disney Princess encounters and
two live shows based on favorite princess
stories," The show also sends Mickey Mouse
on a theatrical adventure and takes the
audience to India, China, Virginia, New
Orleans, Hawaii, and "Under the Sea."
••••
"Mickey and the Magical Map" has writing
by Carolyn Gardner and is directed by
Tracy Halas. The production designer
is Steve Bass; the creative director is
Sylvia Hase; the music is produced by
Bruce Healey, supervised and arranged by
Timothy Williams and supervised by Matt
Walker. The show producer is Ray
Coble.
••••
"Mickey and the Magical Map, will be a
highlight of 2013 at the Disneyland
Resort, which also features recent
additions such as princess encounters in
the new Fantasy Faire in Disneyland, and
the spectacular new Cars Land and Buena
Vista Street in the expanded Disney
California Adventure Park.

• MORE- Trolling Secrets
••••
Beyond its intended aims, patents are
being abused to benefit the few.
••••
Patent trolls are a widely reported
problem for technology makers and big
business. They are companies that exist
primarily to buy up patents and then
collect money, in the form of licenses or
lawsuit settlements, from alleged
infringers of those patents. Trolls take
advantage of a patent system with serious
flaws, and their abuse of the system is
creating, as a White House fact sheet
recently put it, a "drain on the American
economy."
••••
And, as it turns out, a drain on you, the
ordinary consumer.
••••
Let's assume you're a technology consumer
-- and these days, that's almost all of
us. Patent abuse can cut off your access
to the latest and greatest products and
services. When a troll waves the specter
of a lawsuit or an overly broad patent in
front of a tech startup, it is not
uncommon for the startup to drop features
from products, drop products altogether or
even fold up shop; this was the key
finding of a 2012 study, from Santa Clara
University in Silicon Valley, on startups
and patent trolls. Big companies have
millions to fight a patent battle; small
businesses must give in or give up.
••••
The other way that patents affect you is
more complicated. It begins with the
realization that you are not just a
consumer, but as a user of technology, you
are a player in the patent system.
••••
••••
Have you connected computers to a wireless
network? There are patents on doing that.
Have you scanned a document and emailed
it? There are patents on that too. Have
you used a smartphone app to purchase
something? Then there are a few more
patents you should look at.
••••
These are no mere hypotheticals. All three
examples represent real cases in which
consumers of technology -- albeit small
businesses, not individuals -- have been
caught up in patent fights just because
they used a product as it was designed to
be used. In fact, the patent owners have
turned from attacking big companies to
threatening mom-and-pop stores, Internet
cafes and hobbyist app developers too
small to put up the requisite
million-dollar defense, and that are
likely to cave in and pay on demand.
••••
As new technologies develop, the problem
only worsens . Simpler programming
languages, open-source hardware and 3D
printing will enable individuals to
tinker, invent, create and manufacture --
and suffer at the mercy of a confounding
and costly world of patent law., usable
technology for all. As consumers, we must
demand patent reform to protect that
promise of the future.

106- Supreme Court rejects gene
patents
--
••••
In unanimous
ruling, justices declare that human genes
are a product of nature and cannot be
patented and held for profit. a decision
that medical experts said will lead to
more genetic testing for cancers and other
diseases and to lower costs for
patients.
••••
In a unanimous
ruling, the nine justices declared that
human genes are not an invention, so they
cannot be claimed as a type of private
property.
••••
The decision
invalidates Utah company Myriad Genetics
Inc's patents on two genes that are linked
to breast and ovarian cancer, and the
ruling is likely to lead to several
thousand other gene patents being tossed
as well.
••••
"This is a
landmark decision," said Dr. Stanley
Robboy, president of the College of
American Pathologists. "Genomic medicine
has the potential to be a cornerstone of
medical testing, treatment and clinical
integration, but the question of who owns
your genes needed a definitive answer. Now
we have it."
••••
The broad reach of
the court's decision goes well beyond
genetic testing for cancer.
••••
Supreme Court
Justice Clarence Thomas, writing for the
court, left little room for doubt about
the justices' view.
••••
"Myriad did not
create anything," he wrote. "To be sure,
it found an important and useful gene, but
separating that gene from its surrounding
genetic material is not an act of
invention."
••••
"This will drive
down the costs of genetic testing. It
should open up the competition and improve
the quality of testing," said Ostrer, a
professor of pathology and genetics at
Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New
York.
••••
Ostrer sued to
challenge Myriad's gene patents when the
company tried to block him from testing
patients who had the genetic mutation that
put them at high risk for breast or
ovarian cancer. Myriad said patients could
use only its test --at a cost of more than
$3,000.
••••
The court's
decision also came as a relief to much of
the biotech industry. While the justices
agreed a "naturally occurring DNA segment"
cannot be patented, they also said DNA
"synthetically created" in a lab is an
invention that can be patented.
••••
Industry lawyers
had worried the court could issue a
sweeping decision that would wipe out
patents for genetically engineered drugs
or farm products, on the theory they were
derived from or copied from natural
genes.
••••
The worst fears of
the biotechnology industry have not been
realized, and inventions in the field of
molecular genetics remain patent
eligible,
••••
Striking down gene
patents had become a rallying cry for
cancer patients and their doctors. The
nation's major medical groups had urged
the court to rein in the patent office and
free doctors and researchers from the hold
placed on so-called patented genes.
••••
The ruling is the
latest to reflect the high court's growing
skepticism about the nation's patent
system. Patents are supposed to spur
innovation by giving inventors an
exclusive license to profit for up to 20
years from what they have created.
••••
Critics have said
that granting too many patents in a
fast-changing area of technology can
discourage
innovation
if one company has legal control over an
area and can charge monopoly profits and
keep out competion.
••••
The U.S. justices
during the last decade have taken up the
issue and issued a series of unanimous
rulings rejecting the views of the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office and the
federal courts that handle patent
claims.
••••
The justices have
said that supposed "inventors" cannot
obtain patents for claimed innovations
that are obvious or rely on natural laws
such as gravity or natural processes such
as chemical reactions in the
body.
••••
They said that
parts of the human body --whether a kidney
or a tiny gene --cannot be patented even
if it takes great skill to isolate this
body part.
••••
In a one-paragraph
concurring opinion, Justice Antonin Scalia
said he could not vouch for the "fine
details of molecular biology" set out in
Thomas's opinion, but agreed with the
conclusion that DNA "in its natural state"
cannot be patented

The plaintiff, Good Morning to You
Productions Corp., a New York-based

•••
The publishing arm

rights over the song's reproduction,
distribution and public performances.

According to the
plaintiff's lawsuit, filed in New York,
the company had to pay Warner/Chappell
$1,500 for a license to use the song.
•••
As the 26-page
court document notes, the song has a
history dating back 120 years.
•••
The tune's origins
date back to the 1893 song "Good Morning
to All" by sisters Mildred J. Hill and
Patty Smith Hill.
•••
The lyrics were: "Good morning to you /
Good morning to you / Good morning dear
children / Good morning to all;
•••
That song
eventually evolved into "Happy

The legal filing
aims to return "millions of dollars" in

John Wiley & Sons, a textbook
publisher, sued him over copyright
infringement and won $600,000 in damages
from a New York jury. Kirtsaeng was
ordered to turn over his golf clubs,
computer and printer as partial
payment.
•••
But in Tuesday's decision, the Supreme
Court found the Thai student's view of
U.S. copyright law "more persuasive" than
the publishing industry's, and it threw
out the verdict against him.

In doing so, the justices adopted a
version of ebay's motto: "If you bought
it, you own it, and you have a right to
sell it."
•
Judges
had been divided over whether --
copyright
protection extended to works that were
lawfully made and sold abroad, but were
imported for resale in the United States.
One part of the law says the U.S.
copyright holder has an "exclusive right
to distribute copies" in the U.S.

It is unclear how the movie, music or

106- The limits of copyright
law.
-- The Supreme Court has forcefully
declared --
that copyright law does not extend to
prohibiting
the resale of books bought overseas.
• March - 2013 was the month that
--
Supap
Kirtsaeng was a Thai student in the United
States who helped finance his education
(and then some) by reselling textbooks
that family members bought for a low price
in Thailand. Textbook publisher John Wiley
& Sons sued Kirtsaeng for copyright
infringement in 2008, citing a federal ban
on importing copyrighted goods without the
copyright holder's permission. Lower
courts agreed with Wiley, opining that the
"first sale" doctrine -- a buyer's right
to sell, lend, rent or give away a
lawfully purchased copy of a copyrighted
work.
•
But
that did not apply to foreign-made
products --
even if they'd been manufactured under
contract with the copyright holder.
•
On
Tuesday, the Supreme Court overturned
--
those decisions in a forceful
declaration of the limits of copyright
law.
•••
The justices ruled, 6 to 3, that the
first-sale doctrine applies no matter
where a copy is made, as long as it's done
in accordance with U.S. law. The decision
in Kirtsaeng vs. John Wiley & Sons
provides a welcome clarification that
Americans are free to redistribute the
copies they own that were legally made and
sold overseas, just as they are with the
copies they buy in the United States.

TheWiTEL-ID-phoneNumber
 In
a threat to the 4th Amendment, law
enforcement is using location data as a
crime-fighting tool.
Concern
over mobile phone networks becoming
surveillance tools, the American Civil
Liberties Union recently asked hundreds of
local law enforcement agencies whether
they've tracked people's movements through
their cellphones. Most of those that
responded said they had, usually obtaining
the information from mobile phone
companies without a warrant. The practice
has become so routine, the ACLU found,
that phone companies are sending out
catalogs of monitoring services with
detailed price lists to police agencies.
The alarming findings should persuade
Congress to clarify that the government
can't follow someone electronically
without showing probable cause and
obtaining a warrants.
•••
The Supreme Court has long held that the
4th Amendment guarantee against
unreasonable searches and
seizures
requires police to obtain a warrant if the
intrusion would violate a target's
"reasonable expectation of privacy."
Mobile
phone networks collect another -
type
of data that wire-line networks don't:
They register a phone's location
continuously as long as it's turned on,
even when it's not in use. Those records
can be exceptionally revealing; as the
ACLU put it, the potential insights range
"from which friends you're seeing to where
you go to the doctor to how often you go
to church."
 The
fact that phone companies are collecting
fees
--
for providing this information raises
the additional question of whether their
financial interests trump their customers'
privacy interests. Looking for an answer,
Rep. Edward J. Markey recently asked the
major wireless carriers how much money
they've collected from law enforcement
agencies and whether they actively market
their information-gathering services.
•••A
growing number of courts have been
pushing
back
against the Justice Department's
permissive approach, but the rulings
haven't been uniform. Nor are there clear
rules to distinguish emergencies from
routine investigations, live tracking from
the examination of stored data, or
any
of the many other complexities. Rather
than trusting judges to sort it all out,
Congress should make it clear that the
protections that apply to phone
conversations also apply to location data.
No warrant, no tracking.

106- NBSWiTEL Bailout For Its EMW Wireless
Carriers
 •
Like a bank, we make loans.
•••But
unlike a bank, we're part of nbsWiTEL.com.
Before it became a DotCom company
•
we
were, and still are that same NBS Wireless
Telephone Company of America, established
in 1902, that invented and delveloped the
EMW technology that helps move, cure,
power and link the world with its nbsWiTEL
phone numbers.
•••So
not only can we provide smart financing,
we can also offer access to the insights
and bet practices of nbsWiTEL.com to make
that financing work harder. Chances are we
have the expertise you need to make your
company more competitive - and we're happy
to share. Stop just banking. And start
building. NbsWiTEL.com works.
• NBS bailout of a few of
"nbsWiTEL.com Users --
may net an estimated $20.1-billion
profit for its Collection Group, PSI.
• The estimate depends on the
timing - of the monthly payment of
the debt owed by each U.S.A. and FCC
approved carrier. nbsWiTEL.com said the
profit projection did not factor in the
nbsWiTEL.com cost to subsidize each
Carrier's "WiTEL debt during the last few
years; that cost was not calculated.
• The nbsWiTEL.com -
•••forecast
followed the nbsWiTEL.com decision to
further reduce its ownership stake in its
Account Receivable Assets.
•••The
report came as nbsWiTEL.com this week
continued to wind down its stake in WiTEL
phone numbers handling its own Collection
deal it has with PSI, and its
Speedollars.com system.
• Financial execs have a
forward-thinking strategy
 •
WiTEL.com's arrangement with PSI's
Speedollars.com program will help kick off
the TeleKey Code systems
multimillion-dollar effort to iBond its
affiliates. The iBond concept is dubbed
"the Global Creative Investment Program"
-- to form ventures with its TeleCom
carriers, and other tech-savvy
entrepreneurs in the WiTEL.com
business.
•••••
Pacific
Sunrise International officials propose to
convert their Account Receivables into
iBonds, according to the documents, which
are included in the agenda
materials.
•••
The proposal would allow the Franchised
Carriers to take a loan of up to 80% of
any and all cost for its $5.00 per month
per nbsWiTEL phone number assigned to its
WiTEL users . . . to help cover expenses.
It's unclear how the nbsWiTEL.com
Franchised Carrier would pay it back -- if
the loan and interest could not be repaid
within 10 years -- would nbsWiTEL.com or
the FCC be able to resell the Franchise by
Auction?
•••
The iBond proposal is separate from the
$5.00 per monthly Invoice for each
WiTEL®™© TeleKey area Code
phone number assigned to users. TeleCom
industry experts following the iBond
concept will give virtually all the
benefits to the WiTEL®™©
TeleKey area Code user, with the blessings
of the FCC. The value of of each NBS WiTEL
franchise assigned 1-Million
WiTEL®™© TeleKey area Code
phone number -- is valued at $5-Billion
each, according to
PSI.
•••
Under the proposed lease, PSI's financial
backer would fund about $45-Billion in
Bank Guarantees. PSI is seeking control of
the U.S.A. operations for a total of 99
years.
•••The
iBond sale would reduce the nbsWiTEL.com
debt holdings to about $45 billion, with
another financial group holding an
additional $5 billion in complicated loans
secured by a bank guarantee.

Branson and his philanthropy -
Collaboration with

Check out

Now, business
like-minded humanitarians can get a taste

trendsetting entrepreneur -- all in
support of charity.
••••
The UK's fourth richest person is
auctioning off a night of partying at a
surprise location through Charitybuzz,
which will benefit
DoSomething.org.
•••Branson's
collaboration with Charitybuzz and
DoSomething marks a continuation of his
ongoing philanthropic involvement with
nonprofits, which is the motivating force
behind his business dealings, he says. In
May, Branson told the Montreal Gazette
that, "money in itself is not that
interesting." What is interesting about
money, he told the news outlet, is how it
allows people to "make a difference in the
world."
••••
Early this year, the business tycoon
joined the Giving Pledge, through which he
will donate half of his $4.6 billion
fortune to charity. His offer to party
with the highest bidder is not surprising
given his previous eccentric methods of
philanthropy, such as his recent stint
dressing up as an air hostess on AirAsia.
The effort helped raise money for an
Australian foundation for hospitalized
children, the Associated Press
reported.
•••Branson
joins several other celebrities in support
of Charitybuzz's efforts, including
President Clinton, Michael Jordan, Seth
MacFarlane, Eddie Vedder, Paul McCartney,
and Ozzy Osbourne. Charitybuzz has
recently carried out notable philanthropic
campaigns, including an auction to get
coffee with Apple CEO, Tim Cook.

In April, Cook partnered up with
Charitybuzz to raise money for the RFK
Center for Justice and Human Rights in an

Branson In The News of
Late
•
Virgin
Group Boss on decriminalizing
drugs.
Would it be a vote loser? He says, No!
 Sir
Richard Branson, founder and chairman of
Virgin Group, has called on politicians to
"be braver" on drugs policy, saying they
are wrong to believe decriminalization
would be a vote-loser. His to do video
address at the opening of the
International Harm
Reduction
Conference (IHRC) in Vilnius,
Lithuania.
••••
• Speaking
on the eve of a major international drugs
conference, Branson said that, if
politicians acted on what they really
believed rather than following a Daily
Mail agenda, they could reduce a
"ballooning" prison population exacerbated
by excessive numbers of convictions for
low-level drugs offenses.
••••
•
Branson, said recent comments from Latin
American leaders that the "war on drugs"
had failed marked a "sea change" among
politicians in that region and should spur
those in the UK and elsewhere into action.
He is to give a video address at the
opening of the International Harm
Reduction Conference (IHRC) in Vilnius,
Lithuania.
••••
•
Stepping up his outspoken campaign since
becoming a member of the Global Commission
on Drugs more than two years ago, Branson
said: "People are languishing in prisons
and lives are wasted. When I speak to
politicians individually, I've found no
one who disagrees. I would say that, if a
party really took on the decriminalization
issue and went for it, they would not lose
votes. There is an economic case for
investment in harm reduction. It has been
proven in other countries that treating
drug addiction as a health issue, not
criminalizing it, benefits society as a
whole."
 ••••
• Branson's
remarks come just days before a UK charity
and national centre of expertise on drugs
and drugs law, is to publish a report
detailing the disproportionate impact of
policing policies on black and ethnic
minority communities. Initial findings
from the report, seen by the
Observer, show that in 2009-10 nearly
550,000 people in England and Wales were
stopped and searched by police for drugs,
but just 7% of them were arrested. It also
reveals that black people are six times
more likely to be stopped and searched for
a drugs offense than white people.
 ••••
• With
signs of drugs policy reform gaining
momentum, Branson was a co-signatory to an
open letter from a coalition of
scientists, celebrities and politicians
calling for the government to overhaul
drugs legislation. Branson and other
signatories said the government's approach
to drugs policy "does little to address
the root causes of addiction and
pointlessly criminalizes people." The
group called for an independent review of
the effectiveness of the Misuse of Drugs
Act 1971.
•••
However, many drugs experts, including a
number attending the International Harm
Reduction Conference, argue that, amid the
recent high-profile calls for drugs
liberalization and reform to criminal
justice, it is essential that the broader
implications of current drugs policies on
public health should also be a top
priority. Executive director of the
International Drug Policy Consortium, Ann
Fordham pointed out, that where drugs
policies are most draconian public health
risks are greatest.
••••
• Fordham
emphasized that governments could not
afford to be complacent. In the UK, where
harm-reduction strategies such as needle
exchanges have helped to reduce rates of
HIV infection among injecting drug users
to 1%, the continued "criminalization" of
people for personal use undermined the
successes, she said.
••••
"The fact is that, if we look at the
people most affected by a punitive
approach to drugs, it is the most
marginalized and the poor; it is people
from ethnic minority groups. They are the
ones who end up going to prison."

The book itself looks beyond the glossy

As
tax deadline looms, ex-NPR chief Ken Stern
looks at how little donors understand
about the needs and the operations of even
the most prominent charities 'With Charity
for All' looks beyond the glossy
appeals.
•••
Americans just love feeling philanthropic.
In any debate over cutting tax breaks in
the income tax system, the deduction for
charitable donations is always held sacred
-- even more than that other sacred cow,

It's a rare political leader who doesn't

foundations in filling gaps left by
government services to the indigent, the
sick and the elderly, here in the United

globe-trotting, tent-dwelling relief
worker, the doctor without borders, the
logistics expert getting food and medicine
to camps of war refugees -- all elicit
unique reverence from us armchair
empathizers in civilized lands.
•••
So why, asks Ken Stern in his new book,
"With Charity for All," do we spend so
little time thinking about the charities
we give our billions to?
• Stern is a veteran of the
nonprofit world --
having spent nine years running
National Public Radio, the nonprofit
organization with which most of us are
more familiar than any other. Thanks to
his experience and a wealth of further
research, "With Charity for All" makes
many important points about how little we
understand about the needs and the
operations of even the most prominent
global philanthropies. The book opens with
a telling anecdote about the American Red

Media Conglomerates' new trend: Slim
down!
- News Corp Split.
New News Corp might bid for the Los
Angeles Times.
As
expected at the end
of June Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation
split in two. Most of its television and
film assets were scooped up into a new
company, 21st Century Fox. Over 100
newspapers (including the Times of London
and the Wall Street Journal), educational
businesses and other assets were left to
form a new company with the old name of
News Corp. That begs the question, "Why is
the company splitting in two?"
••••
In
essence, the News
Corp split reflects a broader industry
trend. In recent years difficult to manage
media conglomerates have been slimming
down and becoming more focused.
••••
Viacom, which split
off its broadcast-television business as
CBS Corporation in 2006, will sell off,
advertising division, Outdoor, sometime
this year.
••••
Time Warner
announced in March that it plans to spin
off Time Inc, its magazines unit.
••••
Thomson Reuters
sold off its education business in 2007
and its health-care division in 2012.
••••
Pearson, a
part-owner of The Economist, has sold or
merged various properties to concentrate
on education.
••••
French media group
Vivendi, is expected to sell its telecoms
assets in order to focus on entertainment.
It has taken media companies a while to
catch up with the shift away from the
conglomerate model, which fell out of
favor in other industries in the
1980s.
••••
Investors are hard to convince that there
is any benefit in housing newspapers,
television networks and film studios under
the same roof, and prefer companies with a
sharper focus. And some parts of the
industry are healthier than others: the
sluggish publishing industry is in marked
contrast to the far brighter prospects of
the television business, so it makes
little sense to keep them together. At the
same time a new generation of media bosses
has emerged who are more pragmatic than
the flamboyant, empire-building media
moguls of time past.
••••A
break-up in particular makes sense for
News Corp, which has spent the past two
years trying to ovecome the scandal
relating to allegations of phone-hacking
and police bribery at the British
newspaper, News of the World, that News
Corp shut down in 2011. Separating the
"good co" (as analysts are calling 21st
Century Fox) from the newspaper business
(dubbed "crap co") insulates the
profitable television divisions from the
repercussions of the scandal. The scandal
so far has cost News Corp $389m in legal
and other costs.
••••
Also, the split may
allow 21st Century Fox to renew its bid
for the 61% of lucrative British satellite
broadcaster BSkyB. News Corp's previous
attempt to take control of BSkyB was
derailed by the phone-hacking allegations.
Although Rupertr Murdoch will serve as
chief executive and chairman of 21st
Century Fox, it will be run by Chase
Carey, News Corp's current chief operating
officer.
•••
At the time rumors
emerged a year ago that Murdoch was
thinking of splitting up News Corp,
investors were thrilled. In the past two
years News Corp's share price has reached
all-time highs.
•••
Businesses, that
benefit from scale of the media industry's
sprawling conglomerates set the stage for
a period of consolidation. Businesses that
would benefit, such as American cable
operators, Time Warner Cable and Charter
Communications, are rumored to be
discussing a merger.
••••
Having recently
bought Virgin Media, a British cable firm,
Liberty Global of America--which already
owns Germany's second-largest cable
operator--is competing with Vodafone to
buy Kabel Deutschland, Germany's
largest.
••••
Mr. Murdoch has
said that he might buy more newspapers if
the price is right, and there is
speculation that the new News Corp might
bid for the Los Angeles Times. Expect more
deals on the horizon asmedia companies,
egged on by investors, slim down and get
into shape.

Washington Post Has New
Owner
Amazon founder
and CEO Jeff Bezos has agreed to buy the
Washington Post Co. for $250 million.
••••
The deal is being made by Bezos
alone, and is not being done with
involvement from Seattle-based Amazon.
It's an unexpected move for Bezos, a
self-made billionaire whose far-flung
interests -- among them unearthing old
rocket engines from the bottom of the
ocean and inventing a futuristic clock --
haven't included traditional print
media.
••••
Donald Graham, chairman and CEO of
the Washington Post Co., said the board of
directors decided to sell "only after
years of familiar newspaper-industry
challenges made us wonder if there might
be another owner who would be better for
the Post." The transaction covers The
Washington Post and other publishing
businesses, but not Slate magazine,
TheRoot.com or Foreign Policy.

"FOREVER MINUS A

•••
The five chapters of WiTEL facts,
and true-life adventures of one of the
most unsung inventors in history, whose
revolutionary innovations have effected
every human being on the planet over the
last three generations! Based on the true
story of inventor and part-time melon
farmer Nathan B. Stubblefield's (and
subsequently his grandson Troy Cory's)
battle with the government and U.S.
telephone industry.
•••
"Firewire" tells the tale of two
very different men from two very different
eras who share not only the same blood,
but the same fight - whose battle to
receive recognition for the invention of
the wireless telephone would come at a
heavy price. But the determined small-town
inventor and the impassioned big-city
entertainer both refused to be silenced,
and they took on the rural backstabbers
and the corporate titans alike in a battle
that nobody thought either could win.
•••
The Stubblefields started out as a
typical 1880's Kentucky family, trying to
live their version of the American Dream,
but ended up as anything but! When Nathan
invents a unique device that he prophesied
would eventually be used by nearly
everyone in the world &endash; he was not
far from wrong. Decades later, when his
grandson learns that it was his relative
who indeed invented the wireless phone,
Cory thinks he's struck gold. But his
aspirations are dashed after the telephone
monopolies and political pirates who
initially seized Stubblefield's creation
as their own are just as determined to
shut out his descendant decades later, as
well.
•••Ignored,
threatened and then buried in years of
struggle, Cory is haunted by what was done
to his family. He becomes a man obsessed
with justice and the conviction that his
grandfather's life work -- or for that
matter, anyone's work -- be acknowledged
by those who stood to benefit. And while
paying the toll for refusing to compromise
his dignity, this everyday David will try
the unthinkable: to strategically bring
Goliath to his knees in a cooperation with
truth and justice for all. --Donna
Jeffries
 •
You don't get to bust through the airwaves
without catching a little static
•••
Across the landscape of the
American Industrial Revolution, within the
field of urban electrification and
communication, the legacy of prominent
inventors such as George Westinghouse,
Thomas Edison, and Alexander Graham Bell
stand proud. Their achievements
celebrated, their status recognized. But
they do not stand alone. Concealed by the
shadows of history, and even more by the
deviousness of corrupt men in power, is
the figure of Nathan B. Stubblefield, a
contemporary of those great men and one of
that era's most innovative and prolific
inventors..
•••
At the time of his death in 1928,
Stubblefield had been granted dozens of
patents, mostly relating to electrical and
wireless technologies. His inventions
completely revolutionized the world of
communications that we know today, yet not
many people even know his name. With over
5.6 billion wireless phones in use today -
there's no denying, wireless technology
has irreversibly changed the world..
•••
This story will open your eyes and
challenge what you think you know about
not only your cell phone, but the
challenges and the victories that brought
these innovations to us in the first
place. More importantly, it gives us
insight into the human tragedy and triumph
that was and still is a part of the
reality of our most innovative
technological pioneers today in America.

Bob Thompson made music with audacious
sound. The
composer and arranger passed away
May 21 in a
Los Angeles. (1924-2013)
••••
Thompson was one
of the foremost composers and arrangers
and is most famous for what came to be
known as the arranger for the Sonny
Bono-Troy Cory Speciatly Record Lable
Productions. His Space Age pop, or "Space
Age bachelor pad" music
&endash;
tunes that allowed hi-fi buffs to turn the
lights down low, mix the perfect martini
and set the mood.
••••
But
his music was more than mood music. The
writer and arranger provided the hi-fi
soundtrack for a
swinging-bachelor
lifestyle coming of age in the late1950s.
His one-of-a-kind discs feature a singular
sound that evokes cocktail glasses,
swingin' guys and gals, and all-night
mischief. His music was often a spin on
old jazz standards, equipping them with
hip choral sounds and ping-ponging stereo
sound effects. Thompson's 1960 album, "The
Sound of Speed," was a tribute to fast
living, with orchestral riffs inspired by
jet engines, race cars.
••••Bob's
career spanned 40 years and garnered a
Grammy Nomination, with 100s of TV
commercials plus stints as composer or
arranger for Bing Crosby, Rosemary
Clooney, Ruth Olay, and Judy Garland to
name a few. Along the way he created Just
for Kicks, On the Rocks, MMM Nice! and The
Sound of Speed.
•••••Troy
Cory
(TVI's

as one of the best. Thompson was the

Cory's Road to Harbin,

• Troy Cory was among the
first international entertainers and the
first American entertainer to perform in
the People's Republic of China, beginning
in 1988. In itself a notable
culture-historical feat, in view of
China's closed door policies of the late
70s and well into the 80s. The PRC's
administrative climate in comparison is
much less restrictive now and China's open
door policy enables many entertainers to
introduce themselves to the populace

China during the Shanghai TV Festival, and

THE BEST MOVIES OF THE SUMMER AT MUNICH
FILMFEST
The 31ST
INTERNATIONAL FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is
presenting 174 films from 48 countries.
Films by and starring women make up a
significant part of this year's
program.
••••
Germany's biggest summer film festival
will be showing the best new films from
around the world. They are all German
premieres. There are also two specials,
one on outstanding TV series - The New
Epics - and another entitled Films and
Games. The Homage section is showing
classic movies with British actor Sir
Michael Caine, the recipient of Filmfest
München's CineMerit Award this year.
Retrospectives will be honoring Italian
director Paolo Sorrentino and Chilean
filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky. Both will
be on hand at the festival to present
their latest films. 32 films will be
having their world premieres at FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN - 13 their European
premieres.
••••
"2013 will be a festival in which women
play an unusually strong role," said Diana
Iljine, Festival Director of FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN. "Many of this year's films
focus on courageous women. The many great
actress and directors are one of this
year's highlights."
••••
Altogether there are 37 female directors
at this year's Filmfest. The opening night
film Exit Marrakech (June 28) is by Oscar
winner Caroline Link (Nowhere in Africa)
and is a world premiere. Sandra
Nettelbeck's film Mr. Morgan's Last Love
starring Michael Caine and Clémence
Poésy is a European premiere. Saudi
Arabian filmmaker Haifaa al-Mansour is
presenting Wadjda, the first Saudi Arabian
film to be directed by a woman. Acclaimed
French film and stage director Ariane
Mnouchkine will be in Munich for the world
premiere of her latest film Les
Naufragés Du Fol Espoir.
••••There
are the new films by award winning Indian
director Mira Nair, the filmmakers
Agnès Jaoui and Marion Vernoux from
France as well as Lynn Shelton and Lise
Raven from the USA. There are also many
young, emerging directors, among them
Sophie Fiennes from the UK, Eliza Hittman
from the USA, Sarah Polley from Canada,
Marcela Said from Chile, and Alice
Winocour from France. Fatima Geza
Abdollahyan, Nana Neul, Lola Randl and
Frauke Finsterwalder are presenting world
premieres from Germany.
••••
The many great actresses on the screen
this year include the legendary Fanny
Ardant, Nathalie Baye and Claudia
Cardinale. There are also new movies with
Winona Ryder, Juliane Moore, Marion
Cotillard, Emmanuelle Devos, Kate Hudson,
Bérenice Bejo and young stars such
as Léa Seydoux, Soko, Brit Marling
and Rooney Mara. The German actresses
include Christiane Paul, Veronica Ferres,
Julia Koschitz, Barbara Auer, Katja
Riemann, Hannelore Hoger and Claudia
Michelsen.
••••Women
who make it despite all odds are big topic
at this year's festival. Like the
supermarket cashiers who discover women's
wrestling in Les Reines du Ring. In
Everyday, the new film by British director
Michael Winterbottom, the wife of a prison
convict manages to master the trials and
tribulations of raising 4 children by
herself. The Immigrant deals with a Polish
woman who emmigrates to the US in the
1920s. In Le Noir (Te) Vous Va Si Bien the
daughter of Muslim immigrants to France
bucks her father's traditional thinking.
The stronger sex also shines in films
about romance.
••••
In Les Beaux Jours, a retired dentist
(Fanny Ardant) is attracted to the
computer teacher in her senior citizen
club. In Mr. Morgan's Last Love a young,
impulsive woman (Clémence
Poésy) rekindles the love of life
in a melancholy American widower and
reminds him of the importance of
friendship. The German Love Steaks focuses
on a young woman who is a cook at a
wellness hotel and becomes passionately
involved with the shy new masseur there.
In the Chinese romantic comedy The Love
Songs of Tiedan, a young man is infatuated
with the three daughters of a former
neighbor he was in love with as a child.
In the French drama La Vie D'Adèle,
winner of this year's Golden Palm, a young
girl finds strength in a passionate love
affair with another young woman.
••••
There are also many films from the Near
and Middle East about courageous women in
different phases of their lives who break
out of the traditional moulds they have
been forced into and who want to determine
what they want out of life. In Wadjda, the
title character, a young girl in Saudi
Arabia, is not going to let anyone rob her
of her dream of having a bicycle. In the
Russian film The Empty Home a fearless
girl sets out from Kirgizstan in search of
a better life. And in THE PATIENCE STONE,
an Afghani wife confronts her comatose
husband with what is going on behind her
veil and in her mind about their
marriage.
Julie Christie as well as directors
Michael Haneke, Barry Levinson and Milos
Forman.

Steven Spielberg heads jury at Cannes Film
Festival
CANNES, May
15, 2013 -- Once a year, "the entire world
comes together at Cannes."
 Steven
Spielberg introducing this year's
nine-person Cannes Film Festival jury at
the opening press conference said, "We're
always sitting in personal private
judgment of the films we see."
•••
Therefore it was time, to take it public
and accept the film festival's offer to
serve as the main competition jury
president, an offer made several times in
the past, though his work schedule never
permitted it, he said.
•••
Also serving as jurors are actors Nicole
Kidman, Christoph Waltz, Daniel Auteuil,
Vidaya Balan and directors Cristian
Mungiu, Naomi Kawasi, Lynn Ramsey and
twice Academy Award Winner Ang Lee. The
jury selects the winners for acting,
screenplay, direction and, honored with
the Palme d'Or, the award given the film
of the year. Last year's Palme winner was
Michael Haneke's "Amour."
•••
Spielberg noted that it's apples and
oranges to assess movies designed to get
"as many people into the theaters as
possible" by the same criteria as films
compelled by more adventurous impulses.
"Honesty" and "courage": those will be the
key attributes in the competition titles
as viewed by Spielberg's fellow juror,
director Cristian Mungiu, who won the
Palme in 2007, for "4 Months, 3 Weeks and
2 Days."
•••
Spielberg last came to the Croisette in
2008 for the world premier of "Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal
Skull." Released to generally
positive reviews, it it was also a
financial success, grossing over $786
million worldwide.

CANNES, France--
Palm
D'Or goes to the
French
The
hometown favorite won big time at the
Festival de Cannes as France's Blue Is
the Warmest Color walked off with the
Palme d'Or. Jury president Steven
Spielberg announced in a highly unusual
step, that the prize was given not only to
director Abdellatif Kechiche, as
considered traditional, but to co-stars
Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa
Seydoux as well. Both actresses were in
tears by the time they reached the
stage.
••••
The
sexually explicit story of a young woman
discovering desire and herself, Blue was
the great favorite of French critics but
divided English speakers, who called it
everything from voyeuristic to a
three-hour Sundance movie in French.
••••
The
film, whose French title is La Vie
d'Adèle, will be distributed in
the US by IFC's Sundance Selects.
••••
Kechiche's movie displays that same degree
of intimacy with his actresses in the
scenes when they have their clothes on.
For the younger, fragile teen at the
center of the plot -- also named
Adéle -- blue-haired art student
Emma (Seydoux) provides a gateway to
experiences far beyond the limitations of
her conservative social circle. Some of
the tender moments make the explicit
scenes especially noteworthy:
••••
Kechiche's
film plays to the possibilities of
uncensored storytelling that ignores
traditional boundaries without playing for
shock value. It's a tender romance and
undoubtedly one of the best movies about
nascent adulthood in recent years.
Not
Playing it Safe
Spielberg
himself makes no apologies about directing
movies aimed at the largest audiences
possible, but as a unit, the Cannes jurors
did a fine job highlighting the merits of
not playing it safe. This was evident not
only in the selection of the winners but
the snubs: -- Steven Soderbergh's Liberace
biopic "Behind the Candelabra" won plenty
of accolades for Michael Douglas'
performance, but ultimately amounted to a
giddy by-the-numbers treatment of the
show-biz icon -- however, a skillfully
made one.

Cannes in the
Springtime
By Josie
Cory
A h h h . . . Springtime in
Cannes…where mild breezes blow as the
warm Mediterranean sun smiles over this
beautiful spot on the Cote d'Azur. There
you can feel a timeless sensuality,
assuaging a nostalgia for the
Mediterranean which since as far back as
the 16th century has been a constant theme
in many a Northern European's life.
•
• "Now
give us lands where the olives grow,"
Cried the North to the South, "Where the
sun with a golden mouth can blow blue
bubbles of grapes down the vineyard row!"
Cried the North to the South. (to borrow a
phrase from the English writer Elizabeth
Barret Browning).
•
•"Cannes,"
wrote Charles Lentheric, the indispensable
and erudite historian of maritime
Provence, in 1880, "is a town where you
feel no need to work," and "where the
inhabitants were not interested in the
world that lay beyond their shady gardens,
or the sheltered balconies of their
hotels."
•
• Now
the world has come to Cannes, chosen it to
be their Mediterranean queen for its
annual events, and when you stroll along
the Croisette on some warm April day you
will hardly share Mr. Lenteric's
sentiments. Voila! Cannes! It has emerged
truly cosmopolitan.

The
L.A. Film Fest in its 19th year is
orgainzed by Film Indepndent, and takes
place June 12-23, in the entertainment
capital of the world, mostly downtown Los
Angeles with its main venue, the 14-screen
Regal cinemas at L.A. LIVE.
•••
The Los Angeles Fest comes after the
annual festival rounds of Sundance,
Berlin, and Cannes but before the fall
events that include Telluride, Venice,
Toronto, New York and the local AFI
Fest.
•••
With a pre-fest screening of 'Man of
Steel' followed by Pedro
Almodóvar's airplane farce 'I'm So
Excited,' the event opens this week with a
broad selection of films. Over 200 feature
films, shorts and music videos from over
40 countries will be shown.
•••
This year LAFF has a strong selection of
films from the Middle East, including a
number directed by women, as well as a
more local focus of films set in Los
Angeles.
•••
The festival also has a particularly
strong selection of conversations, panels
and events that take audiences beyond just
watching movies.
•••
"Both for the filmmakers and for the
audience it makes for a richer
experience," said David Ansen, artistic
director of the festival. "It's not just
going to the movies. You're really getting
a taste of what the filmmaking process is
like."

that
Josie Cory & Margit
Seelos discussed the contributions of
their respective husbands musical talents
to the world. It was in the late 1970s
that found the two women pushing both
grown men to play Santa Claus, elves, and
create the musical scores for the
German/USA production film "Merry
Christmas;" and YouTube.com sequels:
"Just in the Nick of Time,"
starring Priscilla Cory, as
"Little Miss Santa," and featuring
the late German singer, Manuela.
The Movie itself was Produced by VRA
TelePlay Picture's, Josie Cory;
Bohemia Film's Williams Janovsky;
and ARD's Gábor Wagner.
• The Feature Movie was filmed in
-- and around the city of Munich,
Nymphenburg and Castle Neuschwanstein,
Germany and in Oberndorf, Austria, the
small village and church where the
Christmas carol "Silent Night" was
performed for the first time on December
25, 1818.
