The fatal stabbing in September of longtime Las Vegas investigative reporter Jeff German has sparked a legal fight for control of his laptops and cellphone with what press advocates say threatens journalists’ ability, even in death, to protect confidential sources and unpublished work.
A Las Vegas judge on Tuesday sided with attorneys for the Las Vegas Review-Journal and granted a preliminary injunction blocking police, prosecutors, and public defenders from searching German’s devices.
After calling a temporary restraining order granted last week “too broad,” District Judge Susan Johnson granted a preliminary injunction,...

Jeff German, a reporter for the Las Vegas Journal-Review, was found stabbed to death outside of his home this past weekend.
The police now say they’ve arrested a suspect, who is thought to be a local politician Robert Telles, about whom German had written several critical stories.
After calling on the community to call in if they saw any sign of the suspect or his vehicle early this week, Telles arrested yesterday.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department hasn’t officially confirmed the identity of the suspect, but they did obtain a search warrant for Telle’s home yesterday.

The Black Company is a book series that has been around for awhile. It's like Lord of the Rings but on Crack. But, not as much Crack as Game of Thrones. It's an exciting story that follows a group of mercenaries who do some of the darkest deeds in a fantasy style realm but for a good price. But things begin to change when a prophecy states that the embodiment of good is reborn.
It is definitely an exciting series that has a more modern approach and view of a fantasy realm as well as great characters and difficult moral decisions. The series is ripe for being turned into a digital media, and it looks like I'm not the only person who thinks so. David Goyer and Eliza Dushku have bought the rights to turn the series into a Television series. Dushku is also being brought on as an actress...

Related Kingdom Cancelled After 3 Seasons
Described as the “greatest family band you’ve never heard of (yet!),” the Swallows “traverse the country in a cramped tour bus sacrificing privacy, comfort and dignity while in search of fame and fortune.”
Gee, what could possibly go wrong there?

Bantam Press' cover for 'Gardens of the Moon.'
A friend of mine once told me about a movie series backed by Ted Turner which was set up to be an epic, three-part, 12-hour opus about the American Civil War. It was called Gods and Generals, starring Jeff Daniels and Robert Duvall, and it was canceled after the first 4-hour entry of the trilogy. This bothered my friend to no end — if someone’s going to put in the effort to create an epic piece of art, then it needs to be given a chance. Yes, it was slow, but this made total sense in its entirety as a story as it was a beginning. The payoff comes by the end when the people who believed in it and stayed true start raving about the quality of an inspired work that began and ended with epic vision. That the conclusion was worth the journey.
