IN THE NEWS:
For Our Soldiers
Between the fields where the flag is planted, there are 9+ miles of
flower fields that go all the way to the ocean. The flowers are grown by
seed companies. It's a beautiful place, close to Vandenberg AFB.
The Floral Flag is 740 feet long and 390 feet wide and maintains the
proper Flag dimensions, as described in Executive Order #10834.
This Flag is 6.65 acres and is the first Floral Flag to be planted with 5
pointed Stars, comprised of White Larkspur. Each Star is 24 feet in
diameter; each Stripe is 30 feet wide.
This Flag is estimated to contain more than 400,000 Larkspur plants,
with 4-5 flower stems each, for a total of more than 2 million flowers.
IN THE NEWS:
Congress has been considering a bill called the PRO-IP Act since late
last year and the House of Representatives has now decided to pass
that bill. The bill, heavily supported by RIAA and MPAA, originally had
a controversial section which would allow for fines on compilation CDs
to be unusually excessive. That portion of the bill was dropped before
the bill was passed but there remain several areas of concern about
the impact the bill will have on filesharing. The biggest area of
concern is the fact that the bill creates a new position in the White
House called the U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement
Representative.
This new position helps to make sure that organizations like RIAA can
continue to gain legal ground even after the presidential election
changes major players in the government. The main goals of the act
are to strengthen copyrights, make it easier to prosecute people who
violate copyrights and increase fines associated with copyright
infringement.
