THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Court drops FCC profanity policy By Larry Neumeister ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER NEW YORK A federal appeals court on Tuesday tossed out a government policy that can lead to broadcasters being fined for allowing even a single curse word on live television, conclud ing that the rule was unconstitu tionally vague and had a chilling effect on broadcasters. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan struck down the 2004 Federal Communications Commission policy, which said that profanity referring to sex or excrement is always indecent. "By prohibiting all 'patently offensive' references to sex, sexu al organs and excretion without giving adequate guidance as to what 'patently offensive' means, the FCC effectively chills speech, because broadcasters have no way of knowing what the FCC will find offensive," the appeals court wrote. "To place any discussion of these vast topics at the broadcast er's peril has the effect of promot ing wide self-censorship of valu able material which should be completely protected under the First Amendment," it added. The court said the FCC might be able to craft a policy that does not violate the First Amendment. In a statement, FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said: "We're reviewing the court's decision in light of our commitment to pro tect children, empower parents, Longoria Parker wins Freedom Award By Adrian Sainz ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER MEMPHIS Actress Eva Longoria Parker of "Desperate Housewives" fame has been named a recipient of this year's Freedom Awards along with a Nobel Peace Prize winner from Kenya and an American civil rights activist.

Carter Phillips, a Washington lawyer who argued the case for Fox Television Stations Inc., called the decision satisfying. He said the court had "sent the FCC back to square one to start over" by not only tossing the FCC's fleeting expletive policy but also a broader indecency policy as unconstitutionally vague. Andrew Jay Schwartzman, pol icy director of Media Access Project, which joined the case on behalf of musicians, producers, writers and directors, said: "The score for today's game is First Amendment one, censorship zero." Parent Television Council President Tim Winter said the ruling was a slap in the face. "Let's be clear about what has happened here today: A three judge panel in New York once again has authorized the broad cast networks unbridled use of the 'F -word' at any time of the day, even in front of children," Winter said in a statement. The FCC's fleeting expletive policy was put in place after a January 2003 NBC broadcast of "It really speaks to the compas sion, the power and the energy that women have when it comes to creating change," said Beverly C.

The FCC said the F-word in any context can lead to enforce ment. Fox Television Stations, owned by Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., and other networks challenged the policy in 2006 after the FCC cited the use of profanity during awards programs that were aired in 2002 and 2003. The FCC found its ban also was violated by a Dec. 9, 2002, broad cast of the Billboard Music Awards in which singer Cher used the phrase "F— 'em" and a Dec. 10, 2003, Billboard awards show in which reality show star Nicole Richie said, "Have you ever tried to get cow s— out of a Prada purse? It's not so f simple." The ruling by the three judge panel came after the Supreme Court last year upheld the policy on procedural grounds and returned it to the 2nd Circuit for consideration of constitutional arguments.

She recounted how the FCC first exercised its authority to reg ulate speech it considered inde cent in 1975 after the airing of comedian George Carlin's "Filthy Words" monologue containing a 12-minute string of expletives broadcast on the radio at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. The FCC pursued a restrained enforcement policy afterwards, limiting its enforcement powers to the seven specific words in the Carlin monologue, she said. In 1987. the FCC ended its focus on specific words, adopting a "contextual approach to indecent speech. - Pooler said. The FCC changed its policy in 2004, responding to Bono's outburst. by saying for the first time that a single use of an exple tive -- a so-called fleeting exple tive could result in a fine. she wrote. In citing the confusion caused by the FCC's current policy, Pooler wrote that the FCC found some commonly used expres sions to be indecent while others, such as "pissed off - "up yours" and "ldss my ass," were found not to be patently offensive. "The English language is rife with creative ways of depicting sexual or excretory organs or activities." she wrote.

Call 231-2012 WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 2010 I 5 Paul WaH's CD was recently released Rapper releases album By Ron Harris ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER The latest album from Paul Wall, Houston's king of grills (teeth, not BBQ hardware), is a true-to-the-streets attempt at remaining relevant in the mer curial world of rap. The self-pro claimed "people's champ" weighs in well with "Heart of a Champion," with a rogue's gallery of featured artists lend ing a hand on most tracks. "Heart of a Champion" is Wall's fourth major label release. Half of the album was produced by Travis Barker, the genre blending drummer for Blink-182. Edgy guest appearances by Jim Jones, Chamillionaire and Slim Thug pair well with Wall, who can come off a little too safe at times. There are a moments on the album where Wall appears to be simply dabbling with the latest fads in hip-hop production. The best of Wall happens early on the album, as he raps on "Showin' Skillz" over a slow and chopped up beat. "Attempted murder is the charge when they see how I strut/ 'Cause I'm killing the com petition when the trunk raise up." Wall raps about besting the adversaries on the mic. Despite some low points, the album feels like a complete work. Wall mostly raps about dis missing detractors and pursuing financial success. That's all well covered fodder in the hip-hop game, but Wall raps it like he means it. Check this track out: "Live It" provides the best flow on the album, featuring Yelawolf.
