Wal-Mart workers walk out.
"It's the first time that Wal-Mart has faced a worker-led revolt of such scale, according to both employees and the company".
Apparently the
working conditions of Wal-Mart employees is not much of a concern to
The Eagles though. Time to start greasing the wheels for the
new album.

A few years back
ASCAP, the performing rights agency that collects fees on behalf of songwriters and publishers, attempted to collect licensing fees from summer camps for songs sung around the campfire by Girl Scouts.
This week, PRS, the UK equivalent of ASCAP, flexed its muscles by demanding a licence fee from a guitar shop owner for customers who play copyrighted riffs while testing instruments.
Jimmy Page must be rubbing his hands together.

One of Ashcroft's "credible sources"
from last week's terror warning came from
Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades, a group that has also claimed responsibility for the blackout in the Northeast last year, the power outage in London, the Madrid bombing and has been called
"notoriously unreliable" by U.S. officials. “The only thing they haven't claimed credit for recently is the cicada invasion of Washington". Ashcroft blames the FBI who have admitted that claims that terrorists were 90 percent ready to attack came not from al-Qaida, but from the Abu Hafs al-Masri Brigades’ statements.
