Righthaven files emergency appeal to block auction - Tuesday, Dec. 20, 2011 | 5:01 p. Righthaven LLC, the Las Vegas newspaper copyright lawsuit company, filed an emergency appeal Tuesday to block an auction of its copyrights — an auction Righthaven says is aimed at dismantling the company, even though the copyrights are “allegedly suspect.” A federal judge in Las Vegas last week granted Righthaven defendant Wayne Hoehn’s motion that Righthaven turn its intellectual property — including copyrights — over to a receiver so they could be auctioned. Hoehn wants them auctioned because Righthaven owes him $63,720 for his legal expenses in defeating Righthaven’s copyright infringement lawsuit against him — one of 275 such suits Righthaven filed since March 2010 over Las Vegas Review-Journal and Denver Post material.
Any money raised in the auction would be applied toward the debt to Hoehn. Righthaven, in Tuesday’s appeal to the 9th U.S. Righthaven reiterated claims it has been unable to obtain a bond. It’s unknown when the 9th Circuit will rule on the emergency request. A Letter to Our Readers About Digital Subscriptions.

Kjerstin Gruys likes her legs now — and the feel of her cheeks as she applies makeup. Even perfumes smell better, she says, since she stopped looking in mirrors six months ago. Last March, the 28-year-old PhD student embarked on a year-long project, banning herself from gazing at her own reflection — no mirrors, no reflective surface at all.
Denied access to her own reflection Gruys says she has become happier with her own appearance. She’s paying less attention to her soft tummy, which used to consume her. And she’s started to admire her strong legs, earned from years of running. Gruys, who suffered from eating disorders in high school and college, blames mirrors for many body image issues. Too many women are obsessed with their image, she says, quoting a British study that revealed that women spend the equivalent of five days each year staring, often critically, at their own reflection.

Little Richard once said, "The blues had an illegitimate baby and we named it rock 'n' roll. " This is a fair and clever summary of what happened between 1949 and 1954, when black and white musical traditions cross-educated each other, and then disc jockey Alan Freed popularized the phrase "rock and roll," which was black slang for having sex. Now along comes Rolling Stone magazine, huckstering a commercial myth to sell magazines, get advertising, and make a buck. Along the way, they falsify and simplify the history of America's music. The current issue, which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the creation of rock 'n' roll and is stuffed with advertisements, declares that Elvis Presley invented the music.
No one person started rock 'n' roll. Presley himself never claimed to have invented rock 'n' roll. In his remarkable biography of Mr. These records, purchased by the young Elvis, included "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" by Lloyd Price. Rock 'n' roll was founded by many people - just like America.
