Sen. Lee Comments on Qualcomm Antitrust Stay
WASHINGTON - Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) issued the following statement Friday after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals stayed a lower court antitrust ruling that would have forced Qualcomm to end certain patent licensing practices.
“Today’s decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to stay a district court ruling relating to the Federal Trade Commission’s case against Qualcomm highlights yet again the oddity of us having two federal agencies responsible for civil antitrust enforcement,” Sen. Lee said.
“Here, we have the FTC prosecuting the case while her sister agency, the Department of Justice Antitrust Division, has told the Court of Appeals that the district court ruling will harm rather than benefit competition,” Sen. Lee continued. “This kind of dysfunction and confusion illustrates why having two agencies at loggerheads does not make for effective antitrust enforcement.”

Juliet C. Smedley announces the release of ‘Once I Was Little, Now I Am Big’
LAYTON, Utah – Several years ago, Juliet C. Smedley started thinking about life changes, as she gets older. One of those changes was how small things were, that she used to think were so big. After taking a writing course from the Institute of Children’s Literature, she now writes about these changes in “Once I Was Little, Now I Am Big” (published by Xlibris).
The book is about the changes in one’s life taken from the big and small concept. These life changes are those things that looked huge to a child, but now looks smaller or do not fit anymore, as the child gets older. It contains some of those comparisons that looked one way as a child, but as an older child or even as an adult, they look, feel, or fit a different way.
“In today’s society, there are many changes that are happening very fast. If a young child can learn that life does not stay the same when they were young, they will be better able to handle changes, as they get older,” Smedley points out.
“Once I Was Little, Now I Am Big” aims for readers to find the humor in learning to look at things from a different perspective and also to plant a seed in children that life does not stay the same as they get older.
