Both sides had their say at a Thursday morning House Small Business Committee hearing. "If we have to pay those fees, we'd be bankrupted the day we had to write the first check," AccuRadio CEO Kurt Hanson said.

"I have agreed to run in the upper house elections," Fujimori told reporters at a press conference...
...impact was evident at Thursday's 2007 NBA draft in New York City. After much-hyped college stars Greg Oden and Kevin Durant were selected as the top two choices this year, the Milwaukee Bucks used the sixth overall pick in the draft to snap up Yi Jianlian, another seven footer from China - albeit a more athletic one who has been compared to NBA all-star (and German import) Dirk Nowitzki.
