Oil on Ice is a vivid, compelling and comprehensive documentary connecting the fate of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to decisions America makes about energy policy, transportation choices, and other seemingly unrelated matters. Caught in the balance are the culture and livelihood of the Gwich’in people and the migratory wildlife in this fragile ecosystem.

The problem with Saddam was that he decided to make extra money by simply trading his oil in euros. Sound like a pointless threat? Well it wasn't. A switch to the Euro by oil producing nations would mean the US could no longer grow the deficit, and if the rest of the world thought that the US couldn’t pay back the debt already owed, and began withdrawing funds from US banks, it would effectively enter the US into a depression worse than any it has ever experienced. In a matter of hours the peso would be worth more than the “almighty” dollar.

This frightening financial vulnerability of the United Sates is the reason why it maintains an army larger than the second 7th largest armies combined. It is also the reason why we are on a collision course with Iran, which has threatened to switch to the euro if it is made to come before the Security Council. As stated by U.S. Congressman Ron Paul, “The dollar-oil relationship has to be maintained to keep the dollar as a preeminent currency. Any attack on this relationship will be forcefully challenged as it already has been."

1408 has been set for June 22, 2007, a wide release through Dimension Films.

Adapted from the terrifying short story by suspense master, Stephen King. Renowned horror novelist Mike Enslin (Cusack) believes only in what he can see with his own two eyes. But after a string of bestsellers discrediting paranormal events in the most infamous haunted houses and graveyards around the world, he has no real proof of life...afterlife. But Enslin's phantom-free run of long and lonely nights is about to change forever when he checks into suite 1408 of the notorious Dolphin Hotel for his latest project, "Ten Nights in Haunted Hotel Rooms." Defying the warnings of the hotel manager (Jackson), the author is the first person in years to stay in the reputedly haunted room. Another bestseller may be imminent, but like all Stephen King heroes, first he must go from skeptic to true believer -- and ultimately survive the night.

On his fiery and autobiographical debut CD, TIMZ-aka Tommy Hanna, an American born rapper of Chaldean and Iraqi descent gets right up in our faces, mixing explosive, Middle Eastern tinged beats with incendiary rhymes in an effort to shatter those ugly stereotypes that have plagued people who look like him since 9/11 and the start of the Iraq war.

Iraq" is destined to be a true rallying cry during these difficult political times. "Dear Mr. George Bush," TIMZ raps. "Why do you insist to make a fool of us? For over 200 years... we stood for what's good, now we despised by our peers; And what do you...but add fuel to the fire and send in more troops. Oh the troops God save the troops; it wasn't their war their lies their fault. America the beautiful what did they do to you, they used you its so indisputable!"

This documentary focuses on online "copyright infringement." I love the irony that this is available online. The main issue isn't copyright infringement. The issue is clearly outdated business models being proped up by legislation.

I also disagree with the massively expanded copyright laws. As it got easier to exploit your copyright faster, the industry has been pushing for longer and longer copyrights. They would have absolutely no problems with eternal copyrights.
