The shouting has largely subsided. The Court's ruling has settled in, and the outward manifestations of euphoria and despair have largely moved on to other issues. Despite what has been said--both leading up to the decision and immediately thereafter--it was neither one of the very best or very worst decisions in recent memory.

Guilty. I often wear headphones and listen to music while doing tasks such as entering time. It's not the same as if I'm handling a court filing or preparing a pleading shell. And it doesn't slow me down. I'm always mindful to make sure that I look up constantly and that my music isn't so loud that I don't respond when someone (especially an attorney) is talking to me.

The FCC yesterday adopted an order moving broadcast EEO enforcement from the FCC’s Media Bureau to its Enforcement Bureau. The change will be effective later, after certain procedural approvals are obtained and after notice is published in the Federal Register.

The FCC routinely, at the request of Congress, does a study of the Video Marketplace. That study is submitted to Congress so that Congress can use it as a factual basis for any legislative issues that may come up dealing with the TV marketplace. The FCC has not previously done this sort of routine study of the audio marketplace. However, in recent legislation, Congress included a requirement that the FCC, in the last quarter of every even numbered year, provide such a report.

In light of yesterday’s announcement that the FCC Chairman has proposed that portions of the acquisition by Sinclair Broadcast Group of the television stations owned by Tribune Media would be designated for hearing , one question that many have asked is, “What does designation for hearing mean?” Several decades ago, the process of designating an application for hearing was a common occurrence – used by the FCC to decide between competing applicants for new broadcast (and in some cases non-broad
