| Britney Spears' Driver's-License Case Postponed; Plus Hayden ...
Since Britney Spears isn't in control of her own affairs at the moment, she can't make a plea bargain in her driving-without-a-license case, a Van Nuys, California, judge decided Wednesday (February 20). Spears' attorney for the criminal case told the court that the singer's conservatorship attorneys don't feel she's capable of making an agreement, giving a deposition or signing a declaration at the moment, so Judge T.K. Herman continued the case until March 20. The misdemeanor charge stems from an incident in August in which Spears was videotaped hitting a parked car and leaving the scene without notifying the other driver (the hit-and-run charge was later dropped). Spears was denied visitation rights with her two sons in an unrelated hearing Tuesday. ... Hayden Panettiere must have absorbed someone's musical powers, because the "Heroes" star is putting out a debut album later this year on Hollywood Records.

Bush Failed Policy Domestic
Bush not tops a new list, his failures are fundamentally different from the likes of Johnson, Hoover, or Coolidge. Sunday, December 9: Gregg Gordon: Why I Didn't Buy A Dell, Dude: An Open Letter to the Eighth Richest Man in America (17 comments) An appeal to the rumored conscience of one of President Bush's wealthiest supporters. Thursday, December 6: Richard Clark: The Vile Economic Consequences of Mr. Bush Repercussions from Bush will be felt beyond the lifetime of anyone reading this page. Our tax code has become hideously biased in favor of the rich; our national debt will probably have grown 70% by the time Bush leaves office; we have a swelling cascade of mortgage defaults and a record near-$850 billion trade deficit, and oil prices higher than ever. We must kick our addiction to oil but are becoming ever more dependent.

DeepLinks Archives, January 2008
This week, along with our co-counsel, EFF filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings asking a U.S. District Court judge to throw out a copyright infringement suit brought by talk show host Michael Savage against the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Savage sued CAIR in December, alleging that CAIR infringed the copyright in his show when it posted on its web site brief excerpts from Savage's radio program in order to criticize Savage's remarks. Savage also added a federal racketeering claim stemming from that alleged copyright infringement. CAIR's use of the radio program excerpts is, of course, protected under the fair use doctrine. The Copyright Act specifically makes clear that third parties may utilize copyrighted works for purposes of commentary or criticism, as CAIR did in this case.
Brisbane blogger spreads school smut
SHE'S bitchy, biting, sarcastic and spiteful and she has taken cyber bullying to new heights with a website that is terrorising students at Brisbane's elite private schools. She is Gossip Girl Brisbane and her MySpace blog, created this month, already has attracted 470 users keen to use the site to denounce their peers with salacious details about their sexual orientation, drug problems, love lives and health woes. Forget scribbling gossip on the back of the toilet door at school, it's now out there for millions of web users to view. Gossip Girl does not name the girls she says are pregnant or the teens she says have had sex. She uses initials to indicate the person she is talking about. The blog, which is updated daily, mirrors the Fox 8 program Gossip Girl, in which the identity of Gossip Girl remains a secret and everyone relies on her website for the latest scoop.
Truckee ready to rumble
Mark Hodges, head coach of the Vaqueros, reciprocated Shaffers respect for his opponent.
Especially when youre playing a program of Truckees tradition and history, its always a big game, Hodges said. Were pleased to be playing Truckee. We wouldnt want to be playing anybody else. If you want to be the best, youve got to play the best. And you usually have to go through Truckee.
Knowing this, Hodges made the one-hour drive to Surprise Stadium last weekend to scout the Truckee-Sparks contest. He said people have been asking for his assessment ever since the Wolverines secured the No. 1 seed with a 35-27 win.
I think the best team won, the coach said. Theres no doubt about it. Truckee was the best team in every aspect. And I think Sparks is a good team, too.
Bagan mark too good to miss
One of his principal rivals for the Arkle, the ante post favourite Noland, is the main attraction at Sandown Park today. He runs in the Durkan Group Novice Chase. After a smooth and very convincing win first time out over fences at Folkestone in January, he has scared off a lot of his potential opposition and faces just four rivals. Trainer Paul Nicholls, who makes no bones about Noland being one of his best chances at the Festival, picked Sandown ahead of Kempton tomorrow because he is keen to give him experience of jumping fences on an undulating track. www.telegraph.co.uk/armytage Have your say .
