Participants include Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman (R), challengers Al Franken (D), Dean Barkley (I), and Steve Williams (I). The group will field questions from a panel of agriculture reporters for radio and newspaper. "FARMFEST will address several issues facing America today," says Group Show Director Todd Benz. "We are fortunate to have panelists with strong backgrounds and experience who can formidably debate several issues including food vs. fuel, the 2008 Farm Bill and agricultural policy issues facing the U.S. and the world." Cygnus Business Media's Farm Shows invite political debate and discussion. The company's exposition group produces five agricultural trade shows throughout the Midwest and Texas that feature farming and ranching exhibits from top manufacturers and agricultural service providers -- FARMFEST, Dakotafest, Amarillo Farm and Ranch Show, Northern Illinois Farm Show, Texoma Farm & Ranch Show. In August 2004, Dakotafest hosted the historic debate between Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and challenger John Thune. Thune defeated Senator Daschle several months later resulting in the first ousting of a majority or minority leader in five decades. In additional to the Senate Candidates' Forum, FARMFEST will also host a Congressional Candidates' Forum bringing together candidates from Minnesota's First, Sixth and Seventh Districts. The program will follow Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty's Keynote Address on Tuesday, August 5, at 1:15pm.

Hasbro alleged the game infringes on the company's Scrabble intellectual-property rights. Hasbro also sent Facebook, which hosts Scrabulous, a notification of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Hasbro wants the social-networking place to remove the game in the U.S. and Canada as soon as possible. "Hasbro has an obligation to act appropriately against infringement of our intellectual properties," said Barry Nagler, Hasbro's general counsel. "We view the Scrabulous application as clear and blatant infringement of our Scrabble intellectual property, and we are pursuing this legal action in accordance with the interests of our shareholders, and the integrity of the Scrabble brand." Hasbro's Underlying Motive The suit, filed in the Southern District of New York, names Scrabulous creators Rajat Agarwalla and Jayant Agarwalla and RJ Softwares as the defendants. The timing of the suit is hardly coincidental. Hasbro has a strategic alliance by video-game giant Electronic Arts to create digital games based on a wide choice of Hasbro's intellectual properties. Hasbro is the company behind Milton Bradley, Parker Brothers and other well-known playing for money brand names. in the same proportion that member of its alliance with Hasbro, Electronic Arts launched a legitimate version of Scrabble for Facebook earlier this month. This represents the first of manifold Hasbro game properties slated to launch on social-networking sites later this year, according to the company. "After playing with EA's version of Scrabble on Facebook, I have not at all doubt that Scrabble players in the U.S. and Canada will absolutely love the authentic game play and overall experience," said John D. Williams Jr., executive director of the National Scrabble Association. "I am particularly pleased that EA's version of Scrabble offers such a simple and intuitive interface which will allow players to jump right in and start playing." Will Facebook Get Slapped? While the fate of Scrabulous remains to be seen, the bigger question is whether Facebook could wind up the target of a separate lawsuit. Legal experts doubt that will happen, but it is a possibility. Hasbro will probably not race Facebook as a defendant because the game maker doesn't want to get into the bigger question of whether Facebook's actions in enabling Scrabulous amounts to contributory infringement or whether Facebook is vicariously liable for the activity, according to Todd Hardy, a trademark attorney with Greenblum & Bernstein, P.L.C. "On one hand, it does not appear that Facebook has assisted or contributed to the copying or infringement itself, but on the other hand they are now on notice of the claimed infringement," Hardy said. "Facebook could also be vicariously liable if it could be shown that they have the ability to control the infringing act or activity and profited from the activity."

It seems that even the International Herald Tribune (international version of the NY Times) can't even push themselves to assert that the media is objective in its coverage of Obama. From today : Media stars will accompany Obama overseas By Jim Rutenberg Thursday, July 17, 2008 WASHINGTON: Senator John McCain's trip to Iraq last spring was a low-key affair: With his ordinary retinue of reporters following him abroad, the NBC News anchor Brian Williams reported on his arrival in Baghdad from New York, with just two sentences tacked onto the "in other political news" portion of his newscast. But when Obama heads for Iraq and other locations overseas this summer, Williams is planning to catch up with him in person, as are the other two evening news anchors, Charles Gibson of ABC and Katie Couric of CBS, who, like Williams, are far along in discussions to interview Obama on successive nights. [...] The extraordinary coverage of Obama's trip reflects how the candidate remains an object of fascination in the news media, a built-in feature of being the first African-American presidential nominee for a major political party and a relative newcomer to the national stage. A built in feature of the fact that Obama has a big "D" after his name. nothing more, nothing less. [...] News executives say they generally devote the same resources to the candidates. But they do not dispute that Obama has received more coverage this year, not only because of the historic nature of his campaign and his newness to the political scene relative to McCain, but also because of the protracted nature of his primary battle with Clinton, which was at a peak when McCain last went to Iraq. The imbalance has appeared in various analyses of the news coverage.
