FilmOn finds another way to put live TV on your mobile, but it's still awkward

FilmOn's TV streaming ambitions haven't exactly gone according to plan since it got into legal hot water with a bunch of not-so-minor broadcasters last year -- including CBS, FOX and plenty others. Until that dries off, the company wants to bring TV to your phone, tablet or laptop using an additional route: a portable ATSC tuner. It's shown off a receiver dongle that it claims can enable watching and recording of free-to-air shows on iOS, Android, PC and Mac, with an in-built five-hour battery and pass-through charging. The FilmOn AIR device will start shipping in February with a $95.95 standalone price tag, or $149.95 when packaged with a year's subscription to the main FilmOn service that streams 120 channels over the web -- well, for now at least.

Former Obama communications director lobbied to save the ...

Special to WorldTribune.com

Based on an article by Cliff Kincaid for Accuracy in Media

When Anita Dunn hasn?t been on CNN or MSNBC bashing the Republican presidential candidates and/or praising President Obama, she has been successfully lobbying for a Washington Post subsidiary by the name of Kaplan University.

You may remember Dunn as the Obama aide who once said communist mass murderer Mao and Mother Teresa were ?two of my favorite political philosophers.? The Soros-funded Media Matters said she was taken out of context.

Dunn is now claiming that she is not a lobbyist, even though she works for a firm that does lobbying. Progressive is as progressive does.

Kaplan University hosts a job fair in Dania Beach, Florida. Kaplan's private education empire in the U.S. and abroad earns 62 percent of the Washington Post's revenues. /Lynne Sladky/AP

Kaplan, has been serving as the cash cow for the Post Company, whose newspaper has been losing money and readers. Steven Pearlstein of the Post wrote that Kaplan ?has provided the handsome profits that have helped to cover this newspaper?s operating losses? and that ?Although we in the Post newsroom have nothing to do with Kaplan, we?ve all benefited from its financial success.?

But that success came at the expense of students, including veterans, who got educated through Kaplan and found that some of their degrees were worthless.

After congressional investigations exposed abuses in the $30 billion for-profit education industry, Kaplan and other companies got very concerned that proposed regulations from the Obama administration would potentially ?cut off the huge flow of federal aid? to private sector colleges declared unfit to receive the money, The New York Times reported.

In the end, ?after a ferocious response that administration officials called one of the most intense they had seen, the Education Department produced a much-weakened final plan that almost certainly will have far less impact as it goes into effect? this year.

Former Obama official Dunn played a key role in making sure the for-profit education companies will continue largely with business as usual.

Military columnist Tom Philpott, a former Coast Guardsman, has led the criticism of what he calls the ?predatory for-profit schools? that ?rob veterans of their Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits.? He quotes Theodore (Ted) L. Daywalt, chief executive officer and president of VetJobs, an online job search firm for military veterans, as saying that he learned about the problem through working with disappointed vets who thought they had used their GI Bill to earn credible degrees only to learn they were ?worthless.?

?The eighth for-profit company among the top 10 institutions getting GI Bill payments is Kaplan, owned by The Washington Post. Its Post-9/11 GI Bill payments climbed in 12 months from $17 million to $44 million,? noted Philpott. These are the payments that help pay the salaries of the liberal editorial writers and columnists at the Post newspaper.

In a sign that some news competition is in play among the big papers and that some criticism of the Obama Administration is still permitted in print, the Times noted the key role played by Dunn, ?a close friend of President Obama and his former White House communications director.? She had ?worked with? Kaplan, the paper said. ?And politically well-connected investors, including Donald E. Graham, chief executive of the Washington Post Company, which owns Kaplan, and John Sperling, founder of the University of Phoenix and a longtime friend of the House minority leader, Nancy Pelosi, made impassioned appeals,? the paper added.

Dunn had left the Obama Administration to make money at SKDKnickerbocker (SKDK), which describes itself as ?a nationally recognized strategic communications consulting firm.? This is what lobbying is called these days. Dunn?s work in the media is highlighted in her bio, where she is described as ?a frequent guest on cable and network television, including The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, 60 Minutes, Today, Meet the Press and many more.?

Stephen Burd, a writer for The Quick and the Ed, a blog published by Education Sector, was intrigued by the Times story about the lobbying for Kaplan and wrote, ?When executives at Kaplan University were looking for an Obama insider to help fight the administration?s efforts to rein in the for-profit higher education industry, they scored a major coup. They landed Anita Dunn, the former White House communications director and FOO (friend of Obama).?

But Burd was intrigued by the claim that Dunn is not a lobbyist. He asked, ??how does Dunn reconcile the role she played in this fight with rules that President Obama put in place to stop the revolving door between executive branch officials and lobbing [sic] firms from spinning. [Under an executive order that the President issued on his first full day in office, administration officials are barred from lobbying their former colleagues.] Simple: she claims that she did not engage in lobbying.?

The claim that Dunn was not a lobbyist was included in the Times story, which said, ?While Ms. Dunn visited the White House about 80 times since leaving the administration, she said she was careful to avoid talking to former colleagues about the issue because she is not a lobbyist and such conduct would violate the ethics policies put in place by Mr. Obama regarding lobbying by former advisers.?

The Times didn?t raise an eyebrow. But Burd didn?t buy it: ?Not a lobbyist, really? Let?s review: Dunn traded in on her White House experience to land the lucrative job of helping develop strategy and messaging for an industry that was under fire from the very same administration she had served. Perhaps I?m missing something, but that seems like the very definition of how the revolving door works. Sure, Dunn may not be a registered lobbyist. But that is the type of distinction that has made so many cynical about how our government works.?

Clearly, it is lobbying, registered or not.

In addition to her lobbying for The Washington Post, she continues working for the Obama Administration, in an unofficial capacity.

On Dec. 11, Dunn appeared on CNN?s State of the Union to denounce various Republican candidates for president. On MSNBC on Sept. 8, she said that Obama ?will challenge this nation to basically hold their leaders accountable for putting the interests of the people ? getting them back to work, getting this economy growing again ? ahead of the partisan political interests that are dominating Washington.?

Only a paid lobbyist for the liberal-left would make such a laughable claim on national television. It was during this time that she was lobbying for Kaplan against the interests of students and veterans.

But lobbying is where the money is. Last October Obama Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood?s director of public affairs, Jill Zuckman, moved to SKDK. She is a former political reporter for the Chicago Tribune and Boston Globe.

At SKDKnickerbocker, she also touts her journalistic credentials. ?As a reporter, Jill was a frequent presence on television and radio, providing political analysis on MSNBC?s Hardball, CNN, Fox and NPR?s Diane Rehm Show,? her bio states.

It?s called cashing in on political and media connections. And it?s all done in the name of ?the people? and the 99 percent.

Kuwait income, surplus surge on oil price

KUWAIT CITY - Kuwait's provisional budget surplus in the first eight months of the fiscal year doubled to 11.6 billion dinars ($41.8 billion) on high oil price and output, the finance ministry said on Tuesday.

Revenues until the end of November rose a massive 41.6 per cent to 18.7 billion dinars ($67.3 billion) from $47.5 billion in the year-earlier period, according to data on the ministry website.

The revenues are 39.2 per cent higher than full-year estimates of $48.4 billion. Kuwait has calculated oil income at a conservative price of $60 a barrel while the average price of Kuwaiti crude was above $105 in the eight-month period.

The budget also assumed oil production of 2.2 million barrels per day in accordance with previous OPEC quota, but Kuwait has been producing 3.0 million bpd for the past few months.

Iowa Caucus: We're Live-Blogging From The Ground!

Follow all the action live as MTV News brings you minute-by-minute updates.
By Gil Kaufman


Voters register their votes in the Iowa Caucus

It all comes down to this. Tonight Iowans will cast their votes for the Republican candidate of choice. Who will the barrage of ads, baby kissing and stumping pay off for? Will it be the business-like Mitt Romney, the surging Ron Paul, the dark horse Rick Santorum, the veteran politico Newt Gingrich or trailing Michele Bachmann?

MTV News is on the ground in Iowa and will be covering the caucus and live-blogging all the details. Keep refreshing for up-to-the-minute political drama here!

7:55 Caucus adjourned!

7:49 Most of the caucus goers leave (that wasn't so bad fussy baby, now was it?) and Pritchard asks for a motion to adjourn.

7:41 Booya! The official results are in and the results are being read! Ron Paul won Precinct 45 in a squeaker while Romney won pretty handily in Precinct 46. Final tally in that precinct: Romney 33, Paul and Santorum 19, Gingrich 10, Perry and Bachmann 3 and one lone vote for Huntsman.

7:40 I don't care what the OWS people say, THIS is what democracy looks like! Neighbors and students talking to each other about their passions, babies crying, people volunteering for their civic duty and, yeah, bored boys in Adidas texting while they wait for their moms.

7:38 There's a row of 6 teenage boys behind me furiously texting on their iPhones. There's no way they're liveblogging this too, is there?

7:31 The ballots are collected and nominations begin for the delegates to the county convention. Nobody knows the date, but the good people of precinct 45 vote 5 times for Karen and Cijo and 10 times for Ben Levine. Oh, okay, the county convention is March 10 and it'll cost the lucky delegates $40 for the honor.

7:28 And just like that, it's already time to vote. Some murmuring runs through the room as baskets are sent around to collect the little pieces of paper that caucusers wrote their votes on and that baby just keeps crying! Relax baby, this is as painless as democracy gets. "Looks like somebody else wants to make a speech too," jokes caucus chair and Romney supporter Sam Pritchard.

7:25 Just a minute! A Santorum speaker who looks like KFC's Col. Sanders ticks off a long list of Santorum policies, including clearing the way for the Keystone XL pipeline. Polite applause.

7:24 The speeches are almost cut off without even asking for a Rick Santorum speaker, a telling oversight for the former Senator who was left for dead just a month ago before surging into third place in the final Iowa poll.

7:21 Nobody stands up for Texas Governor Rick Perry, but two people take the podium for Mitt Romney, speaking to his long experience in the private sector.

7:16 A sophomore at Drake speaking on behalf of Rep. Paul makes it clear he's speaking for himself, not the ROTC, of which he is a member. He has to raise his voice a bit to be heard over a crying baby. "If you want someone who can beat Obama you need someone who is the opposite of Obama."

7:15 Nobody stands up for John Huntsman, the former Obama administration ambassador to China who basically threw in the towel on Iowa to concentrate on next week's contest in New Hampshire.

7:13 There are more than 200 people in the room, which has a parquet floor and almost as much space devoted to the media as voters.

7:11 "He created 11 million jobs during his time in Congress," the Gingrich speaker says.

7:08 The speaker calls for a representative to speak on behalf of Rep. Bachmann... Nothing. So it's on to the person speaking on behalf of Newt Gingrich. He apologizes for his lack of eye contact, but he's reading a letter from former Speaker Gingrich.

7:04 We just said the Pledge of Allegiance and now an organizer is sending around the "Money Bags" to help fill the precinct's coffers.

6:55 Caucus goers are rushing into an auditorium in Olmstead Hall. They have to hurry because the doors close promptly at 7!

6:51 We just arrived on the campus of Drake University for the on-campus caucus meeting.

Jamie Dupree's Washington Insider: Looking for Iowa Momentum

When dozens of journalists and local voters can't get in to an event in a small town north of Des Moines, it's not hard to tell who has the mojo in a race for the White House, as former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum is enjoying a big boost in the polls here in Iowa.

"We have raised more money in the last few days than we have in the last few months," said Santorum during a morning stop at the Reising Sun Cafe in the small town of Polk City.

"I think we have the momentum here," Santorum told supporters, several of whom used the event to publicly tell the Pennsylvania Republican that he was their choice for the White House.

While Santorum was enjoying attention that he had never seen so far in his long shot bid for the White House, there were also big crowds on the trail for Ron Paul, who also thinks he has a good shot at a high finish on Tuesday in Iowa.

"I am encouraged, things are going well," Paul told a packed crowd at a conference center outside Cedar Rapids.

"There's a very good chance that we're going to do very well tomorrow night," Paul said, flanked by his son Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.

"If you believe in America and you believe in liberty and you believe in self-reliance, then we have to change the ways of Washington right now," Paul said to applause.

Think about this scenario - what if Paul and Santorum finish at the top - with Mitt Romney in third?

Would that shake up the GOP race?

Meanwhile, as for Newt Gingrich - I wasn't able to track him down on Monday, missing his admission to reporters that victory is not likely for the former U.S. House Speaker.

"I don't think I'm going to win Iowa," Gingrich said to reporters in Independence.

If you believe the polls, Gingrich could finish in fourth - just a few weeks ago, he was far ahead in the polls.

Now I'm off to find Rick Perry, wrapping up with a rally in Perry, Iowa; then I will wrap up Monday with a Romney rally in the suburbs of Des Moines.

Undecided Iowans weighing who to back (AP)

DES MOINES, Iowa ? For Republicans here, the ideal presidential candidate would blend Ron Paul's ideological passion with Mitt Romney's electability. Newt Gingrich's intelligence with Rick Perry's evangelical appeal. Add a dash of social conservatism from Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum ? and stir.

Yet, as Lila Reynolds, one of many undecided Iowa Republicans, laments: "There is no Prince Charming."

"What am I looking for?" Reynolds, 44, said, as she crammed into LJs Neighborhood Bar and Grill in Waterloo to see Gingrich ahead of Tuesday's caucuses. "It's hard to describe, but you know it when you see it."

The "it' factor was large in people's minds as they sifted through their choices in the final hours before Iowa becomes the first state in the nation to have a formal say in picking a Republican challenger to face President Barack Obama next fall.

Interviews with more than three dozen Iowa voters in recent days found a restless GOP electorate here, with many voters still up for grabs. A bunch seemed to be struggling with exactly what they wanted, not just from a particular candidate but from the heart and soul of a Republican Party fractured between tea party activists, evangelical Christians and mainline fiscal conservatives.

No single candidate has brought those threads together in voters' minds.

Mary Ann Anderson, of Atlantic, had positive reviews of all the candidates but hadn't settled on someone yet, saying she has "to pray on it." And Bill Brauer, of Polk City, said the decision was so difficult that he was waiting until the last minute, insisting: "I'm going to make up my mind tonight." And Janeane Wilson, who lives in Waukee, was just as stumped, adding: "I'm one of those people who will probably make up my mind as I'm walking up to the caucuses."

For many voters, no one seems quite right. And for a bunch, the process boils down to a hard choice between the safe, pragmatic candidate who stands the best chance of trouncing Obama or the fervent, ideological purist who sets the heart racing but is a far riskier bet in a general election.

They're mulling these questions: Do they value electability more than anything else and buy Romney's argument that he alone stands the best chance of defeating Obama? Or do they vote with their emotions and side with a candidate like Santorum considered a Republican who more closely advocates on their behalf on social issues? There's a third option: stay home, frustrated at the prospect of nominating someone who doesn't entirely fit the bill.

Just the other day, Grant Allen was struggling as he left a rally for Gingrich in Atlantic. He clutched a "Newt 2012" yard sign and mused: "Maybe I'll actually put this one up."

He said he was attracted to the former House speaker's intelligence and bold ideas but not enough to sign on with him yet, saying: "I worry about the baggage but he gave me some confidence today."

"I'm almost there with him but need to listen to one more."

Asked who, Allen grimaced: "Romney."

The reluctance to back the former Massachusetts governor ? and the search among conservative voters for someone other than him ? is one of the defining themes of this Republican race. Romney, who lost the 2008 nomination to John McCain, doesn't stoke the passions of conservatives who are skeptical about his Mormon faith and reversals on some social issues.

For months, Republicans here and nationally have rallied behind one alternative to him only to turn away and move on to another. Their flirtations have been brief in a race has seen no less than a half-dozen candidates at the front of the pack.

Muddling matters further has been a lack of consensus within the GOP about attributes the nominee needs to possess.

Many tea party activists have tended to seek out tough-talking Republicans who will take it to Obama. A chunk of cultural and religious conservatives crave a candidate who adheres strongly to their top issues, like opposition to abortion and gay rights. And a slew of establishment Republicans has hungered for a fiscal conservative who will reverse the bloat of the George W. Bush years.

"As a conservative, I'm afraid," said Tom McCartney, of Dubuque. "We keep talking about the general election and who is best, and that seems to be Mitt Romney."

"But I'm worried we're going to pick a moderate like Romney and we're still going to lose. We held our nose with McCain and still lost. I don't want another McCain. I hope we don't do that again."

Curtis Smith, of Cedar Rapids, was considering Santorum, after developing doubts about Bachmann's chances.

"She has all the right answers but I'm scared she won't win," Smith said. As for Santorum, he added: "I don't really know what to think about him."

The inability of many Republicans to find a Mr. or Mrs. Right who makes every segment of the GOP happy is reflected in the large number of undecided voters in Iowa. A Des Moines Register poll released Saturday found 41 percent of likely caucus-goers could be persuaded to change their minds, while another 7 percent had no first choice candidate. One percent said they were not sure who to support.

The race here is likely to come down to which way this crop of fickle Republicans breaks.

With the economy still struggling, voters seem to be looking less at the nuts and bolts of the candidates' economic policies, than at someone with the leadership and vision to pull the country up by its bootstraps. They draw parallels to Ronald Reagan coming in after Jimmy Carter, bringing with him a new tone to a country in malaise.

"Anyone could win this," said Ray Starks, a 17-year-old from Dyersville who is participating in his first caucuses. "People still haven't made up their minds. We're still looking for Ronald Reagan ? someone who has a message, someone you want to follow."

In Iowa ? known for its love of grassroots, retail politics ? personal contact is often helping seal the deal ? and that could bode well for Santorum, who is surging, based on the polls, after working the state one voter at a time for the past few years.

It also could benefit lower-tier candidates like Bachmann and Perry, who spent the past month canvassing small towns in hopes of rallying last-minute support.

Robert Byrne, a retail manager for the Black Bear Diner in Sioux City, has winnowed his choices down to those two. He likes Perry's record on jobs back in Texas. Bachmann earned his consideration after she talked to him about her plan to cut corporate taxes and ease other burdens on small businesses.

"She looked me right in the eye and said `We're small-business people too,' and that helps a lot," Byrne said. "It's important that I got to look at her and shake her hand."

Julie Collins had pretty much written off Perry, until she heard him speak at a corner coffee shop in Pella.

"Now I'm not so sure," she said. "He's talking about issues that matter to us: faith, values, pro-life, traditional marriage. He is everything we need to get this country turned around."

If there's anything certain in this woefully unpredictable race it's this: voters are still listening in these final hours.

Former Governor considers run at Mayor

By Tim Sakahara - bio | email

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - Ben Cayetano said he wasn't doing anything except watch football today, but if he does decide to run for mayor his schedule will get a whole lot busier.??

It could set up a match up between former Governor Ben Cayetano versus current Mayor Peter Carlisle versus former Mayor Kirk Caldwell this year in the race for Honolulu Hale.? Another election battle focused squarely on the rail project.

Cayetano hasn't hid his disappointment for Mayor Carlisle and how he has handled the rail project.

"Transparency went out the window the moment he was sworn in," said Former Governor Ben Cayetano, about Mayor Peter Carlisle January 31, 2011.

"He spent 20 years throwing people in jail, he never analyzed a project like this by himself," said Cayetano, March 29, 2011.

Cayetano previously endorsed Carlisle. Now he's thinking about running against him.? Cayetano says he's running around gauging if there is enough support and interest.? He plans to make an announcement one way or another in the next 10 to 14 days.

"It's a guy who is someone to contend with," said Dan Boylan, Political Analyst. ?"Remember if Ben Cayetano enters this race, Kirk Caldwell enters this race and Peter Carlisle is in this race you have two haole politicians who are supportive of rail against one experienced Filipino politician who is opposed to it. That means splitting the pro rail vote.? That is very positive on Cayetano's side."

The city has already broken ground and work on the rail is underway.? But if Cayetano won it could be stopped in its tracks.

"If there is a candidate as strong as Ben Cayetano in the race running primarily against rail and he wins and wins by a significant margin that's a mandate by hook or by crook to defeat rail," said Boylan.

"Well he brings the experience and he brings the political heavy weight factor which I by no means have," said Panos Prevedouros, another anti-rail candidate who announced he will not be making a third try at the mayor's office.

"I believe 2012 will be the year of the rail. The whole drama will have courtroom drama, there's going to be injunctions, and there's going to be political rhetoric. There is really no room for an engineer," said Prevedouros.

The question is will the governor come out of retirement to run for mayor?

"I have a feeling he will not make this run but would I bet money on it? Absolutely not!" said Boylan.
