Audio: NPR Marketplace, Artist-Owned Labels
Topic: Indie Rock 6:49 pm EST, Mar 21, 2003

The Sex Film Project
Topic: Independent Films 12:42 am EST, Mar 14, 2003

question: Why can't there be a movie that tells a strong story, is full of humor and pathos, is packed with powerful performances, and features a lot of explicit sex — hard-ons, cum and all?

Sex is a conversation. Why can't a scene with two people having real sex be as dramatically interesting as a scene with them talking in a restaurant? Why can't there be a film that makes you say, "I laughed, I cried, I came!"

There's also a series of articles by someone going through the audition process in the salon sex section, Naked on the Set.

U.S. plan: Threat level for every flyer - Feb. 28, 2003
Topic: Society 3:50 am EST, Mar  2, 2003

So are you more likely a terrorist if you have a small bank account with lots of NFS's or if you have millions of dollars and large transactions? More dangerously "Unlike the current system, in which data stays with the airlines' reservation systems, the new setup will be managed by TSA. Only government officials with proper security clearance will be able to use it.". This means if you keep getting flagged as a problem, you cannot review the information and make corrections. Disturbing.
