Getty ImagesThe attack on the Redskins? name continues in Washington.
According to Politico.com, three former FCC Commissioners (along with others) have sent a letter to Redskins owner Daniel Snyder explaining that a case could be made that the team?s name is indecent.
?It is impermissible under law that the FCC would condone, or that broadcasters would use, obscene pornographic language on live television,? states the letter signed in part by former FCC Chairman Reed Hunt and former Commissioners Jonathan Adelstein and Nicholas Johnson.? ?This medium uses government-owned airwaves in exchange for an understanding that it will promote the public interest.? Similarly, it is inappropriate for broadcasters to use racial epithets as part of normal, everyday reporting.?
The letter never uses the term ?Redskins.?
?XXXskin is the most derogatory name a Native American can be called.? It is an unequivocal racial slur,? the letter states.? ?As the Washington Post?s Mike Wise pointed out, ?America wouldn?t stand for a team called the Blackskins ? or the Mandingos, the Brothers, the Yellowskins, insert your ethnic minority here.??
The problem with a potential indecency case is that the United States Supreme Court ruled last year that the FCC?s current rules on indecency violate due process by failing to let over-the-air broadcasters know the rules with specificity.? The FCC is still trying to determine how to proceed in the wake of that ruling.
The Redskins have shown no inclination to change the team?s name. In recent weeks, they have defended the name by pointing out that 70 high schools use the same name.? CNSMaryland.org recently did the legwork, determining that the real number is 62 ? and that 28 high schools in 18 states have dropped the name over the last 25 years.
The only number that matters for the NFL is one, and the controversy regarding the team?s name likely will continue for as long as the name remains in place.

3-D printed material resembles body tissue in form and perhaps function

A new tissuelike material with the squishy stiffness of fat or brain cells can be programmed to undergo delicate shape changes, akin to the unfurling of a flower?s petals.
Built with a custom-made 3-D printer by scientists at the University of Oxford in England, the ?droplet network? comprises tens of thousands of tiny water droplets connected by lipid layers. Similar artificial tissues might one day serve as scaffolding for failing tissues or be used to deliver drugs to places in the body, the team reports in the April 5 Science.?
To create the squishy, raftlike networks, the printer squirts a layer of water droplets into an oily solution. Lipids in the oil gather around microscopic water droplets like a cell?s membrane. The resulting millimeter-sized network of water droplets can be tweaked for specific functions, such as conducting an electrical signal at lightning speed, as a nerve cell does.
The researchers then put different concentrations of a compound such as salt into droplets in different sections of the network to spur a flow of water from one area to another. As one area of the network swells and another shrinks, the network deforms, going from flat to curved.
A droplet network printed in a flattened flowerlike form comes to life, spontaneously folding into a hollow sphere as water moves from the blue to the yellow droplets.

DENVER (AP) ? A psychiatrist who treated James Holmes told campus police a month before the Colorado theater attack that Holmes had homicidal thoughts and was a danger to the public, according to documents released Thursday.
Dr. Lynne Fenton, a psychiatrist at the University of Colorado, Denver, told police in June that Holmes also threatened and intimidated her. It was more than a month before the July 20 attack at a movie theater that killed 12 and injured 70.
In the days after the attack, campus police said they had never had contact with Holmes, who was a graduate student at the university.
But campus police told investigators after the shooting that Fenton had contacted them, following her legal requirement to report specific threats to authorities, according to a search warrant affidavit.
"Dr. Fenton advised that through her contact with James Holmes she was reporting, per her requirement, his danger to the public due to homicidal statements he had made," the affidavit said.
University police referred calls for comment Thursday to a campus spokeswoman who did not immediately return a message.
The documents previously were sealed, but the new judge overseeing the case ordered them released Thursday after requests from media organizations including The Associated Press.
Holmes last week offered to plead guilty in the attacks. Prosecutors rejected that offer and announced Monday they would seek the death penalty.
Holmes sent Fenton a package in the days before the shooting, including a notebook that the released documents describe as a "journal." The package wasn't discovered until four days after the attack.
In court, prosecutors suggested Holmes was angry at the failure of a once promising academic career, and stockpiled weapons, ammunition, tear gas grenades, and body armor as his research deteriorated and professors urged him to get into another profession. Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Pearson said Holmes failed a key oral exam in June, was banned from campus and began to voluntarily withdraw from the school.
The documents ? including arrest and search warrant affidavits ? were unsealed by the new judge in the case. District Judge Carlos Samour took over the case earlier this week after the previous judge, who had sealed the documents, removed himself. Judge William Sylvester handed off to Samour on Monday, saying prosecutors' decision to seek the death penalty against Holmes meant the case would take up so much time that he couldn't carry out his administrative duties as chief judge of a busy four-county district.
Both prosecutors and defense attorneys had raised concerns about releasing the documents. Prosecutors said they were worried about the privacy of victims and witnesses if the records were released. Attorneys for Holmes said they didn't want to hurt his chances for a fair trial.
Sylvester had said he was reluctant to release the documents before the preliminary hearing, when prosecutors laid out evidence for him to decide whether Holmes could be brought to trial. That hearing was held in January, with investigators giving the names and injuries of every theater victim in graphic detail.
Witnesses testified that Holmes spent weeks amassing an arsenal and planning the attack. They also said he set up an elaborate booby trap in his apartment designed to explode at the same time the theater attack occurred miles away.
Media organizations said there has been a "wealth of information already made public in the proceedings thus far." They argued there was no basis for the documents to remain sealed.
With the preliminary hearing over, Samour said lawyers failed to show that releasing the records would cause any harm, or that keeping the documents sealed would prevent any harm.

NEW YORK (AP) ? NBC's recent personnel transition in morning television was a disaster. Executives hope their luck is better late at night, and they have a year to try and make it a smooth handoff from Jay Leno to Jimmy Fallon at the "Tonight" show.
The network announced Wednesday what has been rumored for the past several weeks: Leno will leave the job he's had most of the time since 1992, to be replaced by "Late Night" host Fallon. The late-night franchise is also returning to its roots, leaving California for a New York studio.
The thinking is clear: Leno is 62, his hair graying. The eager Fallon is 38, looks younger, hangs with his ultra-hip house band the Roots and slow jams the news with President Obama.
All Leno does is consistently rank No. 1 in his field, a status not many people at NBC can claim these days.
The "Today" show was tops a year ago, too, or at least running neck-and-neck with ABC's "Good Morning America." Then the toppling of co-host Ann Curry spread a black cloud. Ratings tumbled, executives lost their jobs, Matt Lauer's popularity plummeted and "GMA" is now the most popular morning show.
Could history repeat itself at the same network?
"I'm sure the people at (corporate owner) Comcast and NBC are keeping their fingers crossed that it's not another public relations black eye," said Brad Adgate, analyst for Horizon Media.
NBC's hand was forced, to its perspective, by ABC when that network put Jimmy Kimmel in the time slot shared by Leno and CBS' David Letterman earlier this year. Young people are already seeking out other entertainment choices in late-night, and NBC didn't want ABC to establish itself as the network with the young, hip host right after the local news.
"We are purposefully making this change when Jay is (hash)1, just as Jay replaced Johnny Carson when he was (hash)1," said Steve Burke, chief executive officer of NBC Universal, in a statement. "Jimmy Fallon is a unique talent and this is his time."
Burke was not made available for an interview to discuss NBC's reasoning and whether the network applied any lessons from the Curry mess to its late-night switch.
The most pressing question is whether Leno's fans warm to Fallon, or if they use this as an opportunity to try something else. Leno's fans did not accept Conan O'Brien in 2009 when he took over "Tonight" for less than a year. Fallon's humor is broader than O'Brien's, and would seem a better fit.
Leno also presumably won't be around for a direct comparison this time. When O'Brien worked at "Tonight," Leno was in the midst of his failed prime-time experiment on NBC.
There's no telling whether fans of Leno will resent the network's treatment of the comic the way morning viewers took out their distaste for what happened to Curry on "Today." NBC is dislodging him from late-night for the second time; what did he do to deserve the door?
Viewers might also question the network's regard for them. Why is NBC taking my favorite comic away?
Letterman, while he's been no big fan of his rival Leno through the years, was already pushing this narrative on his own show Wednesday, taped shortly after NBC's announcement.
"How many times can a guy get pushed out of the job?" Letterman asked. "What's the matter with NBC? What's the matter with these guys? You know, honestly, what are they thinking?"
He congratulated Leno on his 'Tonight' tenure, "if in fact you're not coming back."
"It's difficult to give up a program that wins its time period by 33 percent, and Jay has always been a great friend to the affiliates," said John Dawson, general manager for five NBC affiliates in Kansas. "For that alone it will be hard to give him up. But I believe in Jimmy's ability to retain Jay's viewers and to bring his own unique audience to that time period."
NBC is timing the change for maximum impact. It will happen around the Winter Olympics in Russia, which is expected to give the network a large prime-time audience that will be peppered with promos.
Barring a major change in NBC's sagging prime-time fortunes, Fallon will quickly be on his own when the Olympic flame is extinguished.
The Curry debacle was punctuated by her tearful last day as host in June, a deeply uncomfortable television moment. She has largely been silent since, as NBC has tried many different ways to convince "Today" viewers that they shouldn't blame Lauer for an unpopular decision.
NBC says privately that Fallon has tried judiciously to make sure Leno was on board with the move, and that Leno has a higher regard for Fallon personally than he did for O'Brien. A few years down the line, Leno may be more ready to end his "Tonight" tenure than he was before.
NBC has taken pride through the years in orderly transitions ? like when Brian Williams took over for Tom Brokaw, and Meredith Vieira replaced Katie Couric. It will put the machinery to work to make this one seamless, too. Or at least appear that way.
There was a rocky start. When Leno needled NBC executives about their miserable prime time ratings this winter, it hit a nerve with NBC Entertainment President Robert Greenblatt. He sent a note telling the comic to cool it. That approach backfired when the note became public and Leno hammered his network even harder.
The first public sign of the coming transition came Monday night, when Leno and Fallon filmed a genial spoof together making fun of all the late-night rumors. It aired between their two shows.
"It's clear they are trying to stave off negative reaction," said Christine Becker, an associate professor at Notre Dame University and author of the News For TV Majors blog. "I don't know whether it's going to be successful or not."
That's because of a sense that there's still something missing, she said.
"Jay is saying really nice things, but what really is the deal?" Becker said. "Did Jay tell them that he wants to go? Will he go someplace else? ... NBC is struggling to play the PR game and make it work but there are so many gaps and holes that it makes it strange."

To reach the Chadian forces stationed in northern Mali, there is only one choice.
To move its troops, Chad uses a Soviet-era Antonov cargo plane, piloted by a Serbian crew that works around the clock. ?When the commander asks us to fly, we fly,? says Sergue?, the plane?s navigator.
The town of Kidal is still not totally secure. It remains in the hands of the Tuareg National Movement for the Liberation of the Azawad, or MNLA, which is now a fragile ally of France.
The MNLA took control of Kidal, 1,500 kilometres (930 miles) northeast of the capital Bamako, on March 30 last year as part of the Tuareg drive for the independence of northern Mali, a region known to them as Azawad.
And as the convoy makes it way through the town, the children shout, ?Long live Azawad? -- a sign that the desire for independence remains strong.
?As far as Chadian forces are concerned, we have been warmly welcomed here,? Oumar Bikimo, the commander of Chadian forces in Mali, tells FRANCE 24. ?Warmly welcomed, but not as warmly as our troops elsewhere in Mali ... some in Kidal view them more as occupiers than liberators.?
Double-cross
Fighting alongside their Islamist allies, the Tuaregs took Gao and the historic desert town of Timbuktu in the weeks following their takeover of Kidal. But the Islamists soon seized full control of the territories, undermining Tuareg hopes of independence.
French forces, now backed by African troops, launched operations to oust the Islamists on January 11. Kidal serves as a base for the French and Chadian troops that were fighting the remaining militants in the Ifoghas mountain range.
The MNLA has said it would oppose any move into Kidal by the Malian army, which the UN has accused of committing rights abuses against Mali?s Tuareg and Arab communities in its bid to rout the Islamists.
France, which has 4,000 troops in Mali, is eager to withdraw and transfer responsibility to a pan-African force, which would then give way to a UN peacekeeping mission.
UN chief Ban Ki-Moon has said that up to 11,200 peacekeepers might be needed for the mission, which would be backed by a military force to battle any remaining Islamist fighters.

Engineering students from India claim to have made underwear that could thwart would-be rapists by jolting them with an electric shock as they try to attack a woman.
The students from?SRM University in?Chennai call the prototype of the anti-rape underwear ?Society Harnessing Equipment? (SHE) and hope to someday introduce commercial versions of it.
?The lingerie with global positioning system (GPS), global system for mobile communications (GSM) and also pressure sensors, is capable of sending shock waves of 3,800 kV as well as alerts to parents and police,? Manisha Mohan, one of the developers, said according to Times of India.
Mohan continued that the underwear can shock up to 82 times.
?A person trying to molest a girl will get the shock of his life the moment pressure sensors get activated, and the GPS and GSM modules would send an SMS on emergency number 100, as well as to parents of the girl,? she told the Times.
According to a paper about the underwear, a camisole-like garmet is what has been developed so far with the shock technology placed in the chest.
?The circuit is placed near the bosom because in the attempt of rape or road?side eve?teasing, as per survey, women are attacked first on their bosom,? the paper stated.
Currently, the students are working with the?National Institute of Fashion Technology to find the best fabric for the product that would allow it to be washed without foiling the electronics.
Watch WPIX?s report about the anti-rape underwear:
?Studying in a convent girls school, we were always taught to be good to everyone around and bear a cheerful smile,? the engineering students stated in the paper about the underwear. ?After stepping into the real, cruel world we realized that our smile could not last for long as the threat to our purity and integrity always lingered on. Since the law makers take ages to come up with just laws and even after that, women are unsafe. Hence, we have initiated the idea of self?defense which protects the women from domestic, social and workplace harassment.?
