Vigil
The day before the funeral mass, Wednesday
August 1, a Vigil was held at St. Charles
Borromeo, when fellow priests, family and
parishioners had the opportunity to say a
last goodbye to their beloved priest. His
Eminence Roger Mahony told the audience
how in the 26 month that Monsignor
Gallagher was battling cancer he never
heard a word of complaint and that he will
be greatly missed.
Music Director James Drollinger addressed
all who attended with his words of
gratitude to and love for Monsignor
Gallagher, and ending with the heartfelt
"St. Joseph's Song," by Michael Card.
Father Jose Magaña spoke of the
last few days in the life of Bob as he
likes to refer to Monsignor Gallagher, and
of Monsignor Gallagher's repeated wishes
that he wanted "to go home."
Farewell
On August 2, the faithful of St. Charles
Borromeo Church turned out by the
hundreds to say farewell to Monsignor
Robert Gallagher, who served as pastor of
the Catholic parish in North Hollywood for
almost 20 years The service was conducted
by the Rev. José Gomez, the
archbishop of Los Angeles with His
Eminence, Cardinal Roger Mahony,
Archbishop Emeritus of Los Angeles,
Reverend Alexander Salazar, Reverend
Joseph Brennan , Reverend David O'Connell,
Rev. Jeff Baker, Rev. Msgr. Peter Nugent
and Reverend Jose Magaña, Pastor,
in attendance.
Auxiliary Bishop Edward Clark, who
delivered the sermon, said he had known
Msgr. Gallagher for 53 years, going back
to their time in the seminary.
He
described Gallagher, as "very
strong-willed, stubborn, opinionated
He liked things to be done his way" but
added, "he had a boundless ability to make
friends and to maintain friendships."
Sunshine lit through the church's stained
glass windows during the nearly two-hour
service, warming the interior of the
church that Gallagher helped renovate
during his tenure at St. Charles
Borromeo.
Bagpipes played outside the church as
Msgr. Gallagher's casket was placed into
the hearse before being taken to Holy
Cross Cemetery in Culver City for
burial.

Bayreuther Festspiele, Bayreuth, Germany
July 25 - August 29
The Bayreuth Festival: also a family
history. The festival's management has
been in the hands of a member of the
Wagner family up to this day. A special
feature that has increased the
attractiveness of the four-week Wagner
marathon worldwide. This family history,
as in any other family, has not remained
free of tension.
The
reworking of the political
instrumentalisation, especially in the
Nazi dictatorship, the "Neubayreuth" under
Wieland and Wolfgang Wagner, the changes
under Katharina Wagner &endash; they stand
not only for continuity, but also for
breaks in the reception which have one
thing in common: profound respect for the
unique work of Richard Wagner.
History of Richard Wagner and
Bayreuth
Wagner
originally planned that Munich would be
the focal-point of his music. After being
banished from immediate contact with
Ludwig II at the end of 1865, however, he
switched his attention from Munich to
Nuremberg, which he saw as especially
appropriate for the performance of The
Mastersingers and his other operas.
Nuremberg,
however, was abandoned when Wagner heard
from Hans Richter that there was an
excellent operahouse in Bayreuth. Margrave
Frederick (1735-63), who was married to
the sister of Frederick the Great,
Friederike Wilhelmine Sophie, had kept
court in Bayreuth. The young Margravine
was active in the arts, and like her
famous brother was an enthusiastic
composer (for example, the operas Amaltea
and L'Elliogabalo), and the Margrave had
an opera-house built in Bayreuth,
completed in 1747. In its time it was one
of the largest theatres in the world. The
acoustics were exceptionally good.
The question of performance rights made
Wagner favour Bayreuth. In 1864, when
short of money, Wagner had sold the
performance rights of his forthcoming
operas to Ludwig II. As an enthusiastic
Wagnerian, Ludwig had wished to hear
Wagner's music as often as possible in
Munich. On Ludwig's initiative, The
Rhinegold was premiered in Munich on 22nd
September 1869, although Wagner was
against the idea.

Google hit with a record fine of 5 billion
dollars over Android antitrust
violations
The company was
ordered by the European Commission on
Wednesday to pay $5
billion
(¤
4.3
billion euros)
for unfairly
pushing its apps on smartphone users and
thwarting competitors.
"Google has used Android as a vehicle to
cement the dominance of its search
engine," Margrethe Vestager, Europe's top
antitrust official, said in a
statement.
"They
have denied European consumers the
benefits of effective competition in the
important mobile sphere," she added.
The
Commission said that Google broke the law
by requiring manufacturers to install its
Google Search and Chrome apps as a
condition for licensing Google's app
store.
It
said that Google paid some large
smartphone makers and network operators to
install apps on phones before they were
sold. It also prevented manufacturers from
selling devices running on alternative
versions of its Android operating
system.
Google
has been ordered to stop the practices
within 90 days, or face additional
penalties of up to 5% of daily worldwide
revenue for Alphabet Inc., Google's parent
company.
Google said that it
would appeal the decision.
"Android
has created more choice for everyone, not
less," it said in a statement. "A vibrant
ecosystem, rapid innovation and lower
prices are the classic hallmarks of robust
competition."
Android phones may
becomemore expensive thanks to Google's $5
billion fine from the EU.
Google's
woes are no longer limited to Europe.
Google's European fine raises pressure on
U.S. regulators to examine the company's
business practices
Joseph
Simons, chairman of U.S. Federal Trade
Commission, said his agency would "read
what the EU put out very closely." He said
that at a House subcommittee hearing hours
after authorities in Brussels ordered
Google to change the way it makes Android
device makers pre-install its search and
Web browsing apps.
"In
the antitrust world, most of the
problematic conduct occurs where firms are
big and have market power," said Simons,
referring to the duopoly of Google and
Apple in the mobile software market. "This
is one of the places we would focus."
"The
unprecedented fine imposed by Europe sends
a clear message that Google and other tech
companies cannot continue to abuse
international competition law,"
Blumenthal, a member of the Senate
Judiciary subcommittee on antitrust,
competition policy and consumer rights,
said in a prepared statement.
"The
FTC should end its decade of inaction and
deference, and confront the mounting
evidence that Google's business practices
have stifled robust competition in a
market that is critical to our economy and
society," he added. "Europe should not be
alone setting the agenda."
The
response is one of the strongest signs yet
that the tougher oversight Silicon Valley
companies have encountered in Europe could
ripple to the U.S.
Ultimately,
U.S. regulators will struggle to pin
antitrust violations on Google and other
tech giants as long as rules here are
guided by consumer prices first and
foremost.
"The
U.S. has consistently stuck to the
principles of antitrust laws that the EU
seems to have abandoned: you can't find an
antitrust violation if consumers aren't
being harmed," said Larry Downes, project
director at the Georgetown Center for
Business and Public Policy. "If companies
are not raising prices for consumers, but
in fact lowering prices, as in the case of
Amazon, or they're not charging at all, in
the case of Google, then you cannot find
an antitrust violation."

DOJ Appeals AT&T TimeWarner
Merger
The U.S.
Justice Department is appealing the ruling
that federal judge Richard Leon issued
allowing AT&T Inc. to buy Time Warner
Inc. in the biggest antitrust case of this
century.
Craig Conrath, one of the Justice
Department lawyers who argued the case,
submitted the formal notice of its appeal
to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit.
The Justice Department's move comes after
lawyers there decided not to seek an
emergency stay of U.S. District Judge
Richard Leon's June 12 ruling that cleared
the way for the $85.4-billion deal after a
six-week trial.
The appeal is surprising given that Judge
Leon issued a sweeping rejection of the
government's arguments. In the trial, the
DOJ took the point that the deal violated
antitrust law because it would harm
competition in the pay-TV market and raise
consumer prices.
AT&T 's General Counsel said the
company did not expect the Justice
Department to appeal. "While the losing
party in litigation always has the right
to appeal if it wishes, we are surprised
that the Department of Justice has chosen
to do so under these circumstances," said
David McAtee.

108-AT&T
is raising fee
AT&T is raising an obscure fee to make
an extra $970 million a year, analyst
says.
Arguing for the Time Warner merger deal
against the Justice Department in court
this year, attorneys for AT&T claimed
that prices for AT&T's pay-TV service,
DirecTV, were likely to go down.
AT&T Inc.'s wireless customers are
expected to pay almost $1 billion more
every year to the company after AT&T
increased a monthly "administrative fee"
this spring in a move that went largely
unnoticed, according to an industry
analyst.
The analyst, Walt Piecyk of BTIG,
initially estimated that AT&T could
pocket about $800 million more per year
from the higher fee, before revising that
figure upward to
$970 million once he learned that the fee
hike also will affect tablets and
smartwatches on AT&T's network, not
just cellphones.

Charlie
Beck hands his chief's badge to his
successor, Michel
Moore
By
Gary
Sunkin
On
Wednesday, June 27, Charlie Beck handed
his chief's badge and four-star pin to his
successor, Michel Moore. The batch and
four stars pinned to Moore's collar were
worn by Bratton before Beck.
He
returned his gun, which he had inherited
from a police officer who was killed in
Afghanistan, to the officer's Los Angeles
Police Department colleagues.
Beck
then walked out of LAPD headquarters,
greeted by rows of officers, including
mounted patrols, who snapped to attention
and saluted.
After
shaking hands with Moore and his
predecessor, former chief William J.
Bratton, Beck climbed into a vintage black
Pontiac GTO with the license plate "6T4
GTO," gunned the engine and drove off to
his farewell party at the Los Angeles
Police Academy in Elysian Park.

police chief, Charles Beck; TVI reporter,
Gary Sunkin at World Police and
Fire Games.
It
was LAPD veteran Michel Moore's first day
leading the Los Angeles Police
Department,- but he had worked closely
with William J. Bratton and then Charlie
Beck during their tenures as chief as they
transformed a department once known for
brutal tactics and corruption into one
that is on the forefront of community
policing and efforts to reduce police
shootings.
"He's
listened to the people of this city for
three decades. He's learned the ins and
outs of every facet," Mayor Eric Garcetti
told city officials and LAPD officers at
the Police Academy in Elysian Park. "Our
next chapter is not something he'll need
to learn on the job. He's already been
busy writing it."
That
next chapter, Moore said in his
swearing-in speech, will include deepening
the community's trust in the LAPD, as well
as listening to the concerns of the
department's 10,000 sworn officers and
3,000 civilian employees.
"A
department that once operated with the
mentality of policing a neighborhood by
force has embraced the understanding that
our true strength is shown by our ability
to partner and collaborate," said Moore,
57. "To the people of Los Angeles, I am
committed to deepening your trust by
ensuring we are a department that is
highly visible, accessible and responsive,
policing with purpose, compassion and
partnership."
In
his speech, Moore also promised to reduce
the use of deadly force by his officers,
who in 2017 fatally shot 17 people,
despite training that teaches them to step
back from dangerous encounters and to use
Tasers and beanbag shotguns when
possible.
Moore
had already been sworn in the previous day
at City Hall, after the City Council voted
unanimously to confirm his appointment.
The oath-taking and pinning of the chief's
four stars were reenacted Thursday in
front of about 600 spectators.

Chinese films at FILMFEST
MÜNCHEN
Munich
International Film festival is the largest
summer film festival in Germany and second
only in size and importance to the
Berlinale. It has been held
annually since 1983 and takes place in
late June.
A geographic focus
this year at FILMFEST MÜNCHEN, and
one that pervades various sections of the
program, is China. Films from this country
include works by a number of audacious
young (screenplay) writers, along with
"ASH IS PUREST WHITE," the latest film by
Jia Zhang-Ke, which is absolutely a
highlight of the entire festival. Common
to all these films is that they and their
creators deliberately position themselves
contrary to the cinematic mainstream. The
result of this attitude is a collection of
films, some of which are awkward, some
avant-garde, none obliging, all with a
powerfully driven vision of art and style.
The fact that the plots of most of these
films are set in provincial China, far
from the familiar megacities, makes it
possible to look behind the scenes, beyond
the China we know.

108-KCET
and KCOP to merge in changing
market
KCETLink Media
Group (KCET) and PBS SoCal (KOCE), the
flagship PBS outlet for Southern
California, have agreed to merge the
companies. The name of the new
organization will be announced with the
closing of the merger, which is expected
to be completed in the first half of
2018.
"This merger has
been in the works for many, many years,"
said Dick Cook, chairman of KCET's board,
who will become chairman of the combined
entity when the deal closes this
summer.
The Corporation for
Public Broadcasting, which allocates
federal dollars to public stations, long
had persued the two stations to unite.
That goal made more essential in an era in
which President Trump and some members of
Congress have threatened to slash funding
for public broadcasting.
Merger talks began
three years ago but were put on hold
because of the Federal Communications
Commission's spectrum auction last year.
More than half of the $19.8 billion
generated in the auction went to
broadcasters that were willing to
relinquish some of their spectrum.
KCET, based in
Burbank, received about $65 million from
the auction, while KOCE collected about
$49 million. That money allowed the
organizations to fortify their finances
and establish endowments for
programming.
The two stations
will fold together their separate assets,
with neither side making any payments to
the other, the officials said. Andrew
Russell, president and chief executive of
PBS SoCal (KOCE) will run the combined
entity, which will have about 130
employees. No layoffs are immediately
planned. KCET has been without a chief
executive since February, when Michael
Riley joined Ellen DeGeneres' company.

Donald Trump and Kim

Trump and Kim met privately from for 48

Before the start of the private

Trump and Kim exchanged small talk in

cameras, saying: "We look forward to
working this out together ... It will be

Troy Cory was among the first

culture-historical feat, in view of
China's closed door policies of the late

administrative climate in comparison is
much less restrictive now and China's open
door policy enables many entertainers to
