| CIA Claims Cyberattacks At Fault In Blackouts
Check more often than once a night on your Google homepage man. This week has had more 'conspiracy' theory evoking stories (usually from asinine comment posters) than the last few, but the majority of the stories HAVE been business related. And unlike some blog viewers, I don't mind the volume of copyright/IP stories. It's a shame that there ARE that many, but I'm not looking at this site for entertainment like some others are.

That's all I ask.

Street jury says it is deadlocked on 7 charges
Milton Street as tax resister. After deliberating about 50 minutes yesterday, the jury was back with more questions, this time on the mail- and wire-fraud counts against Street and Velardi. The jury wanted Davis to review again the legal definition of scheme, and whether it could base its verdicts on the brief summaries following each count on the verdict sheet, or the entire text of the 25-page indictment.

The judge defined scheme as a "plan to commit a particular type of fraud. Davis said prosecutors did not have to prove every detail of the allegations in the indictment.
Horvitz roots out a fun folk-rock outlet
The first half of 2008 has not yet been named Wayne Horvitz Season, but perhaps it should be. Horvitz has four albums coming out between now and May, is embarking on a long-form collaboration with author Sherman Alexie based on the James Welch novel "The Heartsong of Charging Elk" and just got a remarkable review in The New York Times. Writing about Manhattan's Winter JazzFest at the Knitting Factory, New York Times jazz critic Ben Ratliff wrote, "Mr. Horvitz should have a room named after him at the club ... his aesthetic and his music encoded the notion of 'downtown jazz.' " One "downtown" notion was the idea that genres — whether jazz, classical or klezmer — need not be pure, hierarchical or, for that matter, even relevant. One genre that continually inspires Horvitz is traditional American folk-rock, including the lyrics, the kind done so well by Bob Dylan and his former group, the Band.
