AT&T proves that their merger with T-Moblie is all about ending competition, eliminating jobs, and increasing profits.
In June, thousands of ColorOfChange members spoke out against a proposed merger between AT&T and T-Mobile, arguing that the deal is likely to destroy jobs, raise the price of cellular service, and threaten net neutrality for wireless high-speed Internet.
Now, there’s one more reason to oppose the merger — and AT&T gave it to us. The company has repeatedly claimed that merging with T-Mobile is the only way it would make good business sense to cover 97% of Americans with the latest mobile broadband technology.
But according to a letter filed by AT&T, the cost of building its 4G wireless system to the entire nation is $3.8 billion — a mere one tenth the cost of the $39 billion merger! And if the merger isn’t approved, AT&T will be obligated to pay T-Mobile a $3 billion fee, more than 75% of the cost of extending 4G coverage to 97% of Americans.
This new revelation makes clear that AT&T’s major public interest rationale for merging with T-Mobile amounts to nothing more than fuzzy math. But Democratic 76 members of Congress, led by North Carolina Rep. G.K. Butterfield, have signed a letter advancing AT&T’s false rationale.

Coach Lara talks about the team's long tradition of winning and how it inspires the players.
"4th and Forever" chronicles the 2010 football season of Long Beach Polytechnic High School, touted by Sports Illustrated as the "Sports School of the Century" and boasts the largest roster of high school players who have gone on to the NFL. After decades of success, Poly had a down year in 2009. They had their worst season in 15 years and lost to local rival Lakewood for the first time in over 25 years. After years of being pegged as "the team to beat," the aura of invincibility is gone. The players are worried that their hopes for a college scholarship have dimmed. The clock is ticking and the question is: Can Head Football Coach Raul Lara pull the team together for one more season of greatness? And, can the players avoid the temptations of the street, succeed in the classroom, and emerge victorious on the field?
Tune in Thursdays at 9/8c for all-new episodes of "4th and Forever."

The Women's World Cup Soccer Kicked off in Germany a few days ago. How many people knew that? It's truly amazing how so many people can come together for one thing. Soccer truly is the Worlds sport. Where else can you have so many N. Koreans and Americans in one place? The U.S. and N. Korea just kicked off their game together just a few minutes ago. Some people find soccer boring, since the scores are so low and few and far between, but to me it's truly exciting to watch and when the The World Cup comes around it's beautiful to see so many from different countries, views, races, religions come together.

Internet hackers have acquired a dubious reputation for piracy, sabotage and the spilling of sensitive secrets, but an authoritative Vatican publication appears to rehabilitate them and traces parallels between hacker philosophy and the teachings of Christianity. The surprisingly charitable view of hackers was expressed by the Jesuit priest Father Antonio Spadaro in an article for the fortnightly magazine Civilta Cattolica, the text of which is vetted by the Vatican Secretariat of State prior to publication. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/free-stuff/42939-vatican-says-computer-hackers-are-more-saint-than-sinnerInternet hackers have acquired a dubious reputation for piracy, sabotage and the... more

Even though our early history is replete with government intervention to protect individual and national economic viability, by breaking up and banning monopolies, the relentless tentacles of big business has corrupted all of Congress, undone all of the protections against corporatocracy from strangling all the free market characteristics from capitalism, and facilitated the formation of a FASCIST United States!
Robert McChesney writing for REAL NEWS details the selling out of America by your legislators in "Monopoly and Competition in Twenty-First Century Capitalism".

To cure this ill, we must first end corporate personhood and institute complete campaign finance reform, featuring exclusively public funding of all campaigns. Then, we can reinstate and enforce controls on monopolies.Even though our early history is replete with government intervention to protect... more

IUPPER DARBY, Pa. — It’s a story “Of Mice and Men” but with a modern twist — real mice.
Monday, the owner of Nina’s Bella Pizzeria in Upper Darby, 8445 West Chester Pike, was charged with putting mice in two of his competitors’ pizza shops.
“It’s terrorism by mice,” said Upper Darby police Superintendent Michael Chitwood. “I’ve never had to deal with mice as an instrument of crime before, but mice multiply. They spread disease. This really could have caused a lot of damage.”
Nikolas Galiatsatos, 47, of 1000 Conestoga Road, Bryn Mawr, was charged with criminal mischief, harassment, disorderly conduct and cruelty to animals.
Pizza Owner Planted Mice On Competitor: MyFoxPHILLY.com
Rodents Of Mass Destruction?: MyFoxPHILLY.com
According to police, Galiatsatos walked into Verona Pizza at 8917 West Chester Pike about 2 p.m. Monday carrying a plastic bag and asked to use the restroom.
“He offered to buy a bag of chips, but I told him, ‘Don’t worry about it,’” said Fanis Facas, who owns Verona with his brothers, John and Nick. “Then I heard a bunch of banging from the restroom.”
When Galiatsatos exited the restroom, he was no longer carrying the bag, Facas said.
“I put two and two together and went to check the bathroom after he left,” Facas said.
Facas added that he saw footprints on the toilet and thought the man may have put drugs or contraband in the bathroom’s drop ceiling, and alerted two Upper Darby bicycle officers who were eating lunch at the restaurant.
“That guy must have put something into the ceiling,” Facas told the officers.
He stood on a chair and removed a plastic bag with brown paper bag inside it.
When they looked inside the bag, they saw three mice.
Officers Eric Collella and Ryan Wiseley went outside to look for the man. They saw him get out of his car across the street and walk into Uncle Nick’s Pizza at 9000 West Chester Pike, Chitwood said.
Galiatsatos was carrying a bag going in, but when police stopped to question him after exiting the pizza shop, he was empty-handed.
Uncle Nick’s owner Harry Saritsoglou said Galiatsatos walked in and asked for Saritsoglou’s mother, who wasn’t around.
Evidently, the two families have known each other for years and Galiatsatos’ brother used to work at Uncle Nick’s before Nina’s Bella Pizzeria opened a few months ago.
“We’ve been here for eight years and he’s never stopped by to say hi. It was just odd,” said Saritsoglou. “When he was walking out, he said, ‘Mind if I throw this out?’ and had a weird look on his face. I knew something was up. Whatever was in that bag wasn’t good.”
Saritsoglou looked in the trash and found a bag filled with six mice — five alive and one dead. He also saw Galiatsatos being stopped by police, and gave the bag of mice to police when they came to investigate minutes later.
“This was just slimy and downright wrong,” Saritsoglou said. “He knows he’s going to pay for it. I want him punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
Facas also wants Galiatsatos punished for the damage the mice could have caused to his business.
“I’ve never met or seen this guy before today,” Facas said. “I now know he’s a competing business owner, but still don’t understand why he would do this. I just thank God none of the mice got out. That could have really hurt my business and my customers.”
While in police custody, Galiatsatos told police he bought the nine mice for $10 at Worldwide Aquarium on Garrett Road, Upper Darby.
“Apparently, he has a mice problem at his store and he told police he was getting even with the other store owners who he believed were responsible for his mice problem,” Chitwood said.
Owners of Verona and Uncle Nick’s say that’s ridiculous. Both have been in business for years and didn’t worry about another pizza shop two blocks away.
“We’ve had the owners of both places in here to take their statements,” Chitwood said. “There’s really no telling what kind of damage that could have been done if the shop owners and police hadn’t acted quickly.”
Police gave the mice to animal control to determine their fate. Galiatsatos is scheduled to be arraigned today in Upper Darby Upper Darby District Court.

For Erin Gibson, "Wheel of Fortune" is much more than a decent way to kill time on a sick day. No; it's a way of life. So when the longest-running syndicated game show on TV announced a viewer contest to play Vanna White for a day, infoMania's Modern Lady eagerly submitted her audition video. Now you can see it too and decide for yourself whether Erin should get the gig.
For good reason, no woman has ever had the balls, moxie or delusion to claim the title of "the world's premiere basic cable expert on lady stuff."
Until now.
Meet Erin Gibson. She's freakishly tall, sort of smart, and willing to do just about anything to get a bemused chuckle.
Her segment, Modern Lady, on infoMania, is dedicated to reporting and commenting on what's happening on Planet Lady.*
*The asterisk next to "Planet Lady" is actually a typo.
