Obama takes firm stance on net neutrality (Reuters)

WASHINGTON (TheWrap.com) ? President Obama will not be neutral when it comes to net neutrality.

The White House on Tuesday pledged to veto any Congressional resolution seeking to overturn the Federal Communication Commission's Open Internet regulations, set to go into effect November 20.

The presidential shot across the bow comes prior to an expected Thursday Senate vote on Republican-sponsored "resolution of disapproval" opposing the regulations.

Unveiled last September, the rules are designed to prevent Internet service providers from discriminating against competitors or consumers by blocking content or altering speeds.

The regulations allow the FCC to impose fines and bring injunctions against companies that slow down Internet service for customers who are streaming movies or downloading music.

The Republican-majority House of Representatives passed a similar resolution in April.

Though Democrats maintain a 53-47 majority in the Senate, Thursday's vote is expected to be close, due to the rules that apply to resolutions.

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, Republican from Texas, mustered the signatures needed to get the resolution, officially "S.J. Res. 6," discharged from the Senate Commerce Committee. It is now before the entire Senate. That means filibuster rules will not apply and the resolution can be passed with a simple majority meaning only 51 votes are required for approval.

The resolution currently has 42 Republican co-sponsors. But according to Joel Kelsey, political advisor for Free Press, it is not clear how Republican senators Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Jerry Moran of Kansas will vote. There are similar questions about Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Joe Manchin of West Virginia.

Last week Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts sent a letter to his fellow senators imploring them to vote against the resolution.

The Congressional Review Act provides a mechanism for Congress to overturn federal agency regulations it disapproves of. It requires passage in both houses, then the signature of the president.

Jury in Jackson case a diverse cross-section of LA (AP)

LOS ANGELES ? The seven men and five women who hold the fate of Michael Jackson's doctor in their hands are a diverse cross-section of Los Angeles, people of varying ethnicities from different towns who might never have met if they had not been thrown together in the jury pool.

They are white, black and Hispanic, mostly middle-aged and live in an assortment of suburbs in the Los Angeles urban sprawl. Most have children and some have grandchildren.

They include a professor, postman, bus driver, actor and movie animation supervisor.

The panel is set to resume deliberations Monday after spending their first day in discussions Friday without reaching a verdict.

Dr. Conrad Murray has pleaded not guilty to one count of involuntary manslaughter after prosecutors accused him of administering a fatal dose of the powerful anesthetic propofol to the King of Pop.

The jurors, who have been engaged by all the details of the case, will likely be methodical in their deliberations.

Nine of them have prior jury experience and one woman, a native of Spain, has served on five juries, all of which reached verdicts. She was once a jury forewoman.

A woman who has worked as a paralegal for 30 years is serving on her first jury and appeared enthralled.

They knew about the involuntary manslaughter charge against Murray before they came to court and most of them know Jackson's music. A few said they were fans and one, the video animation specialist, said he had some interaction with Jackson when the singer was making the video, "Captain EO."

Details about their lives were culled from lengthy written questionnaires obtained by The Associated Press. Their identities have been kept secret and even lawyers in the case know them only by their jury numbers.

In six weeks together the jurors have displayed uncommon attentiveness to the task at hand. Several, including alternates, have taken notes and kept lists of evidence. Once, when the judge was at a loss to find the number of an exhibit, a member of the jury spoke up and told him.

There were no drooping eyelids or distracted glances. When a scientific expert was conducting experiments on the floor of the courtroom, panelists stood up in the jury box to get a better view.

Their attention to evidence and witnesses has impressed Superior Court Judge Michael Pastor, who commended them for their commitment, punctuality in getting to court and willingness to give up their personal lives to serve.

When the trial went longer than Pastor had predicted, he apologized, but the jurors seemed unperturbed.

Every night, when he gave them an admonition to avoid the news, the Internet and other sources of information about the trial, they listened as if it was the first time they had heard it and they nodded in agreement.

Many of the panelists have a familiarity with prescription drugs; most of them said they trust their doctors and several believe that celebrities receive a different kind of justice than average people.

Some have learned about the justice system from TV, watching such shows as "Law and Order" and "CSI." Others watched broadcasts of real-life, high-profile trials including the Casey Anthony case and the O.J. Simpson trial.

One woman, an accounting manager, remembered that during the Simpson trial, "a TV was brought to the office for everyone to follow it." A man in his 30s said he followed that trial in school as an educational experience.

While not sequestered, the jurors have had a rare opportunity to bond because they were kept together for lunch and transported together between a secret parking lot and the courthouse. In order to avoid exposure to events outside the courtroom, the judge had lunch catered for them every day.

But during lunches and coffee breaks there was one thing they could not discuss ? the trial. Now, in a secluded jury room, they can give each other their opinions as they try to reach a verdict.

How Occupy Oakland Is Stealing Occupy Wall Street's Mojo (Time.com)

As promised, the Occupy Oakland movement on Wednesday spilled from its home base in front of city hall, halting street traffic and blocking access to banks and businesses that defied its calls for a general strike. The mood was for the most part festive, full of homegrown pride for a hard-luck city enjoying a rare moment in the global spotlight. Concerts and prayer sessions, free barbecue and ice cream were among the offerings to a motley mix of protesters. Cannabis smoke was widespread. And of course, there were a lot of speeches: in the main amphitheater, on top of trucks, in the middle of the street. The "Day of Mass Action" culminated with a shutdown of the port, where as many as 7,000 people gathered peacefully to stop trucks in their tracks ? before things took a violent turn overnight for the second week in a row, with police using teargas after midnight, when a group of anarchists attempted to hijack the final hours of the protest.

But most of Wednesday provided further proof of how a small core of activists has managed to build a broader movement with substantial public sympathy ? with an energy and a vibe, as well as hazards, that are eclipsing Occupy Wall Street in New York City. "The [initial police] violence was massive propaganda on our behalf," says Ethan, 22, a shirtless protester with a Guy Fawkes mask who was out on the street on Wednesday for the general strike. Indeed, shared concerns over corporate greed and a dubious future have united blue collar workers and immigrants with punks and middle-class families. "We're out here as a family because our child's class is overcrowded, libraries are closing, there's runaway climate change and our planet is being plundered," says Mateo Nube, 40, an environmental activist who came to march accompanied by his 74-year-old mother, wife and two young children. "The CEOs of banks love their kids too, but the imbalance is criminal and the exploitation has to stop." (See TIME's photo-essay "Tensions Mount at Occupy Wall Street Protests.")

Union members, students and teachers were out in force. More than 300 took the day off, while some arrived at the marches after school. Dozens of small businesses, and some national chains like Rite Aid and Foot Locker, were closed. Others stayed open and lent support by distributing food and water to marchers ? though this was no free pass from harassment from a group allegedly sympathetic to the general strike but which appears to engage in vandalism. A Whole Foods that distributed water bottles to passersby was set upon by black-clad masked men, forcing it to close. There were several other instances perhaps connected to the suspected splinter group, including smashed windows at Wells Fargo and Bank of America branches.

Such incidents were the exception during the daylight hours. At another downtown Wells Fargo branch, about 20 good-humored protesters sat in front of the entranceway, blanketed by yellow police tape, chanting, "Shut it down, shut it down!" A dumpster blocked the ATM. No one attempted to get past the group, which refused to leave until the door was chained. "An emerging reality is being created," says Michael Babel, 38, a graduate student who lives in San Francisco. "This is the movement we've been waiting for." As he spoke, a passing man blared through a megaphone: "The 99% is here. They're not cracking down on us. We're cracking down on them." (See TIME's video "What Happens After the Standoff at Occupy Oakland.")

A short distance away, Celina, 31, idled in her car for 15 minutes and honked in support as a marching crowd passed. The health care manager did not display the least irritation at the delay, unlike a motorist who later in the evening was reported to have run his Mercedes-Benz into a crowd of protesters crossing the street, injuring two of them. "Oakland is a beautiful place, and this is a great example," she exclaimed, adding that she would join the march once she picked up her child. She was less sure about the march to shut down the port. "I just hope people keep it light and don't get aggressive. That way, it's all good."

The marches rolled on late in the afternoon, from the city center to the country's fourth busiest port. On foot, in wheelchairs and on bicycles (and the odd unicycle), protesters converged under the watch of circling helicopters. Police officers were invisible. Mutt Mule, 39, a longtime Oakland resident, banged on a drum and took swills from a second champagne bottle after knocking an empty one over. "It's a big f------ party," he said. "We're having a ball." Nearby, fellow protesters danced to a break-beat DJ; others climbed on stranded vehicles with banners that spanned the angry ("They Grind Our Bones to Make Our Bread") to the outlandish ("Occupy Everything!").

Occasionally, openings were cleared to allow weary port workers to drive home, but hauling goods or letting people enter ahead of the evening shift change was forbidden. Tensions briefly surged when a 25-year-old driver named Omar started his truck and tried to push through, only to be stymied by the crowd. "I want to go home. I'm tired," he pleaded. A protester shot back, "C'mon, you're one of us, man ... We're all walking home tonight." Omar was nonplussed, but after a short standoff, he finally saw the futility of pressing his case and turned around to park on the side of the road. A cheer went up in the crowd, which went on to achieve its goal of shutting maritime operations down late into the night. (See "Occupy Oakland: Will the General Strike Have Legs?")

Downtown, the good vibe soured. As midnight approached, a group of rabble-rousers moved into a vacant building two blocks from the occupied plaza, lighting street fires, scrawling graffiti and smashing windows as they barricaded the block. Riot police deployed to the scene again used teargas and stun grenades to clear the streets in the early hours of Thursday. Some protesters tried to de-escalate the situation but to no avail as the masked gang, estimated to number fewer than 100, faced off against police with rocks and bottles. Some 60 arrests were made by the time the melee was subdued at around 3 a.m. Mike Porter, 24, a protester who has lived with his dog in the tent city since the outset, blamed "anarchist" elements that he said took over the building after it had been reclaimed by the Occupy movement, and then prepared for a clash they were hell-bent on having. "They're totally taking advantage of our numbers and leaching off our movement," he said with disgust as the crowds thinned out for the night. How to deal with this? "I don't know, and that's what worries me," he said. "These people have no values."

MF Global CEO Jon Corzine resigns under fire (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? Jon Corzine has resigned as MF Global Holdings Ltd's chairman and chief executive, four days after the futures brokerage filed for bankruptcy protection, culminating a rapid downfall for one of Wall Street's best-known executives.

Corzine, 64, had run Goldman Sachs & Co from 1994 to early 1999, and was later a U.S. senator from New Jersey and governor of that state.

MF Global, a company that Corzine joined in March 2010 and had once joked was viewed as "too small to care about," had been his ticket back to Wall Street.

Corzine's departure came after MF Global's $6.3 billion bet on sovereign debt from Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain scared away clients, counterparties and investors.

The New York-based company's decline accelerated last week after it revealed more details about this exposure, posted a larger-than-expected quarterly loss, and was downgraded by major credit rating agencies to "junk" status.

U.S. regulators, meanwhile, are conducting a broad review of the company's business as they try to track down more than $600 million of missing customer money.

It is unclear how Corzine's resignation might affect the various investigations. Neither MF Global nor Corzine has been accused of wrongdoing.

'GREAT SADNESS'

In a statement, Corzine said his "difficult" decision was voluntary, and was best for the company and its stakeholders.

"I feel great sadness for what has transpired at MF Globa and the impact it has had on the firm's clients, employees and many others," Corzine said. "I intend to continue to assist the company and its board in their efforts to respond to regulatory inquiries and issues related to the disposition of the firm's assets."

Corzine is not seeking severance, the company said. He had been entitled to a $9 million payout if he were let go without cause, a July regulatory filing shows.

MF Global said Chief Operating Officer Bradley Abelow and lead director Edward Goldberg will remain in their positions.

The company's bankruptcy is the seventh-largest in U.S. history, according to BankruptcyData.com and Reuters data. A trustee plans to liquidate MF Global's U.S. broker-dealer unit.

LAWYERS HIRED AS REGULATORS ZONE IN

Brokerages such as MF Global are required to keep customer money segregated from their own cash.

Questions about whether MF Global failed to do this have attracted the attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as well as regulators.

Corzine has hired prominent white-collar defense lawyer Andrew Levander of the law firm Dechert to represent him in cases that might stem from the bankruptcy filing, a legal source briefed on the matter said on Thursday.

Levander has represented outside directors of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc and former Merrill Lynch & Co chief John Thain, among others. Corzine hired another lawyer, Schuyler Carroll of Perkins Coie, for the bankruptcy case.

"We will look at every aspect of how the firm conducted business," Mary Schapiro, chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, told Reuters on Thursday.

SURPRISE HIRE

Corzine's decision to join MF Global surprised many on Wall Street at the time.

He has referred to himself as a "recidivist banker," saying that financial regulatory reform would force big banks to shrink, leaving growth opportunities for potential rivals that were "too small to care about."

One of the biggest market concerns about MF Global had been its roughly 33-to-1 leverage ratio, with well in excess of $40 billion of assets despite having just $1.4 billion of equity.

Going into the 2008 financial crisis, some of Wall Street's biggest companies had had similar leverage, and Corzine has called that risk unacceptably high.

Last month, before MF Global's collapse, Corzine spoke with a group of equities traders in New York and said that his perspective had changed.

"He said Wall Street needs more clarity about the rules and better incentives for doing business and taking risk," said a person who attended the off-the-record event organized by the National Organization of Investment Professionals.

House committee OKs new penalties against Iran (AP)

WASHINGTON ? A House panel on Wednesday unanimously approved harsher penalties against Iran, arguing that an economically weak Tehran will struggle in its pursuit of nuclear weapons.

By voice vote, Republicans and Democrats on the House Foreign Affairs Committee pushed forward two bills that would strengthen current sanctions while expanding the list of companies and individuals subject to penalties. Lawmakers cited recent allegations of an Iranian plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States and insisted that such brazen behavior demands consequences.

The legislation builds on sanctions that Congress overwhelmingly passed ? and President Barack Obama signed ? last year. Those penalties targeted exports of gasoline and other refined petroleum products to Iran and banned U.S. banks from doing business with foreign banks providing services to Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The United Nations and the European Union have also imposed sanctions on Iran.

The latest legislation "is designed to clamp new and tougher sanctions on Iran's energy sector, threatening the regime's existence if it refuses to halt its nuclear weapons program," said Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., the committee chairwoman. She called Iran's energy sector the country's Achilles heel.

The United States has tried repeatedly to coax Iran into international negotiations with the U.S., Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany over its nuclear program. Iran contends that its program is designed to generate electricity, not build weapons.

Among the new provisions, the House bills would restrict foreign subsidiaries of U.S. companies from doing business with Iran, include bartering among activities that could be sanctioned and prohibits Americans from conducting commercial or financial transactions with the Revolutionary Guard.

Directing its ire at Syria and North Korea as well, one provision would strengthen the prohibition on granting landing rights in the United States to vessels that have visited Iran, North Korea or Syria in the last two years.

Rep. William Keating, D-Mass., said the government of Syria, widely criticized for its crackdown on demonstrators, receives political and material assistance from Iran.

The committee, by voice vote, adopted an amendment by the panel's top Democrat, Rep. Howard Berman of California, that would require the president to determine within 30 days whether Iran's central bank is supporting the country's chemical, biological or nuclear weapons or missile programs, financing the purchase of advanced convention weapons, underwriting the Revolutionary Guard or aiding Iran's support for international terrorism.

If the president makes such a determination, the administration would be required to impose penalties that would bar any foreign bank doing significant business with the central bank from U.S. economic activities.

"Our hope, as with all our sanctions, is that an economically challenged Iran will have less money to spend on weapons of mass destruction, terrorism and other nefarious activities," Berman said.

The sanctions appear to be taking a toll in Tehran. Just this week, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad acknowledged that the current penalties were impeding Iran's financial institutions, saying, "our banks cannot make international transactions anymore."

The committee also approved an amendment by Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, designed to protect the several thousand Iranians living in exile at Camp Ashraf, located northeast of Baghdad, Iraq. The camp is run by the People's Mujahedeen Organization of Iran, a resistance group to Tehran's clerical regime that has been a harsh critic of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

It has been attacked by the Iraqi army, with dozens killed, and Baghdad is intent on closing the camp.

The provision in the bill calls on the administration to pressure Iraq to ensure the well-being of the camp residents. The measure also calls for preventing the involuntary return of camp residents to Iran and delaying the camp closure until the U.N. High Commission for Refugees can resettle the residents in another country.

"If history is any guide, it will see another massacre," Poe warned.

Ros-Lehtinen expressed hope that the House leadership could move quickly on the legislation, which has 343 co-sponsors.

She said she wanted the bills ready for the president's signature "to hand the Iranian regime a nice holiday present."

Elections 2012: Americans Elect Has Plan B For Picking President

WASHINGTON -- Lots of people complain about the shortcomings of the country's two-party system for picking a president. Now a nonpartisan group is gathering millions of petition signatures ? and dollars ? to offer people a Plan B.

Americans Elect, which grew out of a failed 2008 effort to provide an alternative in the presidential race, aims to secure a slot on the November ballot in all 50 states for a to-be-determined candidate who would be nominated in the nation's first online convention next summer.

The group, whose backers include both Republicans and Democrats anxious to open up the political process, has raised $22 million so far and secured ballot slots in Florida, Alaska, Nevada, Kansas, Arizona and Michigan. It has submitted signatures for certification in California, Utah and Hawaii.

Americans Elect, whose slogan is "pick a president, not a party," appears to be on track to secure ballot access across the country, with 1.9 million signatures collected so far. But how it will effect the 2012 race depends on what kind of candidate its delegates select in next June's online convention, which will be open to any registered voter.

"It's a fascinating experiment in trying to empower the disenfranchised center in American politics," says Will Marshall, one of the group's leaders and the president of the Progressive Policy Institute, a centrist Democratic think tank. "It uses the power of the Internet and social media to provide a new means for political participation."

Even Marshall admits, though, that he approaches the effort with some trepidation.

"I'd hate to see a scenario in which a vibrant third choice in some way threw the 2012 election to a right-winger like a Rick Perry or a Michele Bachmann," he says.

Americans Elect rejects the notion its candidate could turn out to be a spoiler and says that putting the choice in the hands ? or clicks ? of millions of registered voters will ensure the selection of a qualified nominee. Leading candidates for the group's nomination will be required to choose a running mate who is not from their own party to ensure political balance, it says.

Mark McKinnon, a GOP strategist who advised George W. Bush in his presidential campaign, says he got involved in the effort because "the system is broken and the traditional parties are only making a bad situation worse." He sees the Americans Elect effort as a reimagining of democracy and how the country selects its leaders.

Getting on the ballot in all 50 states isn't all that unusual: The New Alliance Party's Lenora Fulani did in 1988. The Libertarians have done in multiple times. But none of them garnered a big share of the vote.

Other outsider candidates have been more successful: Ross Perot got 19 percent of the vote in 1992 and 8 percent in 1996; John Anderson, 7 percent in 1980: and George Wallace, 13 percent in 1968. Ralph Nader drew just 3 percent of the vote as a Green Party candidate in 2000, but that included enough liberal votes in Florida to keep Democrat Al Gore from carrying the state and becoming president.

Richard Winger, editor and publisher of Ballot Access News, says the idea that an Americans Elect candidate can't win shouldn't be dismissed outright. There are hundreds of instances of minor candidates being elected to state legislatures, and even a few members of Congress, he says.

And Matt Miller, a fellow at the Democratic-leaning Center for American Progress, says the effort doesn't have to produce a president to have a big impact on national politics.

Perot's strong following in 1992 pushed deficit reduction onto Bill Clinton's agenda when he became president, Miller says.

Ileana Wachtel, a spokeswoman for Americans Elect, says the group is on track to meet its fundraising goal of $30 million. It has collected money from about 3,000 individual small donors and 100 large donors, who aren't required to reveal their identities. Many, she says, "are tied to one of the parties and do not want to deal with recriminations from supporting this alternative." The group, whose leadership includes a number of names from corporate America, accepts no money from special interests or political action committees.

The process of drafting candidates won't begin until December.

Meek Mill Backs Wale By Teasing 'I'ma Boss' Remix

Ambition Twitter campaign might lead to release of remix featuring T.I. and Lil Wayne, Maybach Music Group artist tells MTV News.

Since banding together earlier this year, the members of Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group have shown a tremendous amount of support for one another. With Wale dropping his sophomore album, Ambition, Tuesday (November 1), MMG artists have extended love to their labelmate, even changing all of their Twitter avatars to Wale's LP cover art. To take things a step further, Meek Mill promised to release his highly anticipated remix of "I'ma Boss" on Tuesday if enough people tweeted about Wale's album.

"The 'I'ma Boss' remix: We gonna do a Twitter campaign; you gotta tweet Wale's album. If we get enough tweets of Wale's album, we're gonna drop the remix on 'em," Meek told MTV News on Friday after performing at the Powerhouse concert in Philadelphia.

"I was working on my verse yesterday in the studio," Meek teased of the remix, which boasts features from T.I., Lil Wayne and others: "I put Tip's verse on the beat, we got Khaled in there somewhere, we got Wayne in there, Swizz [Beatz]."

Mill's original "I'ma Boss" first surfaced toward the end of 2010. It was a slow build, but the Rick Ross-assisted track began to catch fire in May after it was included on MMG's Self Made Vol. 1 compilation. The track went on to become one of the hottest rap songs of the summer, and a remix was in order.

In an August interview with Vibe, Meek said he'd hold the release of the record so he could get a verse from T.I., who was incarcerated at the time. "If I hold the 'I'ma Boss' remix long enough, I might throw Tip on that — have him get out to the hottest song of the year," he said. "He ain't have no problem looking out for me, and I don't have no problem doing it for him."

Are you eager to hear Meek Mill's remix of "I'ma Boss"? Tweet @meekmill and @wale with the hashtag #Ambition in support of Wale's new album.
