Instagram, the popular and now Facebook-owned image filtering and sharing app, has cut off support for Twitter's embedded card view. Twitter cards are one of the ways in which Twitter is trying to offer "rich experiences" within timelines for "value added partners", and likely one of the reasons Twitter is trying to choke the life out of third party Twitter clients like Twitterrific and Tweetbot. (Because users of those fine apps don't get pelted with Twitter cards.) Here's how Twitter is describing the change:
Users are experiencing issues with viewing Instagram photos on Twitter. Issues include cropped images. This is due to Instagram disabling its Twitter cards integration, and as a result, photos are being displayed using a pre-cards experience. So, when users click on Tweets with an Instagram link, photos appear cropped.
Absent Twitter card support, Instagram photos show up like other third-party images in Twitter -- as linked attachments of varying quality. The varying quality part seems especially egregious right now, with some photos showing up cropped and otherwise butchered. Hopefully that gets fixed.
The Verge's Nathan Ingram, watching Instragram's CEO, Kevin Systrom on stage at Le Web, reports:
Instagram's CEO wants people to use the new web client on Instagram.com because he thinks it is a better user experience, and noted that "not many people know what Twitter card are."
That new web client being the Instagram web profile pages that began rolling out only a month ago. Which is an interesting strategy. Making people come to you for content gives you greater control of the experience, but costs the user convenience. In other words,Twitter doesn't want our eyeballs on third-party clients, Instagram doesn't want our eyeballs on Twitter, and none of them seem to care what our eyeballs want.
Apple right now is pushing iTunes content into Flipboard and other places precisely because it's easier for users already in those places to discover and ultimate purchase that content. But Apple makes money on content, so putting that content in front of people increases the odds of making money. Instagram doesn't make money on content.
In fact, I don't believe Instagram makes money at all at this point. However, encouraging users to go to their website could be a clue as to how they intend to make money in the future.

New NRA ad drags Obama children into gun debate
By Sanjay Salomon, Boston.com correspondent
This morning, the White House responded to a National Rifle Association video that brought the president's daughters into the national gun debate, describing the 30-second video clip as "repugnant and cowardly."
The NRA released the ad on Tuesday, one day before President Obama outlined his plan to reduce gun violence. The ad begins with a voice-over that asks, "Are the president's kids more important than yours?" The ad calls into question why the president is dismissive of the NRA's proposal to station armed guards at schools while his own children get Secret Service protection.
The ad does not show the faces of Sasha and Malia Obama, nor mention them by name. Instead, the ad features a child's lunchbox with the seal of the president of the United States.
A collage of images featuring President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Senator Dianne Feinstein, and NBC anchor and "Meet the Press" host David Gregory appear on screen as the voice-over asks if Obama is "just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security."
The controversial ad was released Tuesday night but was removed from the NRA's website, NRA Stand and Fight by Wednesday morning. The ad can be seen here on YouTube:
A new video clip featuring NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre outlining the group's proposal to allow armed security at schools is now featured on NRA Stand and Fight.
At a White House event today, President Obama announced his $500 million plan to tackle gun violence following the tragic shooting of 20 children at a school in Newtown, Conn. The president announced 23 executive measures that include empowering schools to hire police officers, bolster research on gun violence, and improve efforts to prosecute gun crimes. The president will also ask Congress to expand background checks on gun buyers.

While there's still a fight over whether or not SOPA and PIPA will pass, it seems that people are already working up basic hacks to make the laws obsolete, should they pass. The folks behind MAFIAAFire, the browser plugin designed to route around ICE seizures has created a new offering, dreadfully named "The Pirate Bay Dancing," which will route around any DNS or IP blocking by using a rotating list of proxy servers. If you thought that ICE was upset about MAFIAAFire, you'd have to imagine they won't be at all pleased about this bit of code. Of course, SOPA does have an anti-circumvention clause in there, which would effectively make this plugin illegal. Of course, I can't see how they could possibly enforce something like that. Using a proxy in general is legal. How will they know if you're using a proxy to get around these particular blocks? Either way, it's yet another example of why the MPAA's insistence that DNS blocking remain in the bill shows (yet again) how technically clueless they are. DNS blocking is a total waste of time. It makes the internet less secure. It fragments key pieces of the internet. Breaks the basic agreement of how the internet is supposed to work... And all for what? To create a system that won't actually block much at all?

It's as though you went up to a person w/an F-15 jet and told them it was now illegal to use it. Sure, you made your law, but the guy with the jet already blew you up before you could enforce it....

Anonymous Coward, 1 Dec 2011 @ 1:23pmI'm sure no one believes that techies and hard core infringers won't find work-arounds. That was case with piracy even before the internet existed.

That people would use proxies to bypass the block is pretty obvious, and I wouldn't be so sure that the lawmakers and their staff aren't already planning on dealing with that too.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:Your right......however, I have a great point here.
If the bill did pass, and something big like facebook, or youtube went down. That would effect probably every one of these people who know the bare basics. My mom for example knows how to turn the PC on, and get on facebook to play her farmville.
But then that person thinks......"Oh wait! That dude down the block who sells bootleg movies. He knows alot about computers!"
Me personally being tech savy enough to setup most, if not all of the workarounds.....Just thinking it over, I know about 50 people, who would gladly pay me probably 50 bucks just to come over, and make it where they can get back on facebook, youtube, etc. again.
Now with that said........it is almost a promise that the guy who is bootlegging DVDs somewhere knows twice, to three times the amount of people I do. So there is just another shady service that he'll be able to provide, and profit off of.

wallow-T, 1 Dec 2011 @ 2:06pmPrediction: the final version of whatever passes Congress will drop nearly all of the network technical stuff -- after all, the government is already seizing domain names in bulk quantities, and judges are already ordering search engines to delete results.
What will go into law is the financial blockade -- it will be trivial to command that Visa, Paypal, MasterCard etc. stop doing business with a site, and probably this will include advertisers as well.
The effectiveness of a financial blockade strategy has already been demonstrated against Wikileaks (where the US has marshalled private firms to destroy a journalism enterprise, but that's another rant about the police state which is already here).
Google is already making big public hints about "follow the money", indicating their support for the financial strategy.
This will have much the same effect of strangling future net developments as the full-monty version of SOPA would.

Rikuo (profile), 1 Dec 2011 @ 2:47pm
Re:I'm going to try and make it as simple as possible.
When you open your web browser and type in, let's say www.google.com, the computer doesn't look for www.google.com. Instead, it translates that into a 4 sets of numbers of 2 numbers each (e.g., google would translate to 18.104.22.168). Your computer would go online and look up what's called a DNS server and ask it to translate google.com into a number. The DNS server would say "here's your number, go here to connect to google" (sorta like asking for a telephone number, so to speak).
With DNS blocking, your computer asks the DNS server to translate google into a number, but with the site blocked, the DNS lookup fails. At this point, DNS servers based in and operated in the US cannot be trusted to resolve DNS lookups, so DNS servers from all around the world start to spring up. Trouble is, most of these new servers are unknown. Thus, when you configure your web browser to ask a DNS server not based in the US, you're essentially putting your blind faith in a complete stranger. Your computer would ask the DNS server to translate google.com and instead of the numbers I gave you earlier, gives a false set of numbers, potentially leading your browser to load harmful web pages (perhaps you looked up your bank's website and instead get sent to a realistic looking fake).
At this point, the internet has become massively less secure. The only real solution at this point is to have to memorise the IP addresses of every website you want to visit (the set of numbers I listed above).

Re: Re:@ Rikuo: "Thus, when you configure your web browser to ask a DNS server not based in the US, you're essentially putting your blind faith in a complete stranger."
Well, that and for most people, faith in the ability of Microsoft to stop viruses. We all know how effective that is. -- BUT you're not forced to do that unless you wish to get to a blocked site.
Since you don't pirate, I doubt that DNS blocking will EVER be so common as to be noticed, nor will your quest for the alleged legal parts of blocked sites EVER lead you to need another DNS server. -- I don't see the reason for a panic, but it's about all you guys have got to protest SOPA with.

Yet, last I checked, mods are perfectly legal (and encouraged by Bethesda).
What about when the copyright maximists start having sites blocked left and right? (see history of DMCA abuse for proof of this claim) Once that happens, people will start in their droves to use alternate DNS servers.
Hang on a minute Blue...did...did you just say I don't pirate? But this flies in the face of everything else you've written, where you've accused people you've never met of piracy, without proof. Why the opposite tactic now? Btw, I do pirate, and am proud to say it.

If there are 100 different root servers set up for different regional laws, you may need to send your DNS request to a server that forwards it to another DNS server on a different root system, and then to another until it can eventually be resolved.

Re:It also breakes DNSSEC proposal since it was not designed to differentiate between legal tampering and illegal tampering, both are the same thing the only thing is that one is sanctioned by some form of authority and the other comes from someone else, but they both do the exactly samething and the computer doesn't have a way to distinguish what is legal or not and forcing it to accept something breaks the prima reason for what it was created and that is to make sure the information you are asking is coming from the local you asked for and not some other source.
It took 10 years to plan that crappy thing and it would take a decade more to implement it, SOPA just throw that away and make everybody go back to square one on the security front, so SOPA will let you in a insecure state for longer and probably make any future security harder because to allow tampering in the system even for supposedly legitimate reasons is to open the door for the illegal too since there is no global agreement on how the governments should pursue such thing, the system can't be build to accommodate each and every particular of every country out there.
Besides it allow governments to hide what they are doing, which is never good for anybody.

Does China's Great Firewall work? -- Yes, largely.So might as well drop all the technical objections: it can be done. And as usual, you guys mistake an admittedly very low risk of being caught dodging DNS blocking with the fact that it will soon have a very large /potential/ down side, instead of none. As with your mistaken thinking on HADOPI 3 strikes, it'll turn out to have a disproportionately large chilling effect on pirating.
You guys all style yourself intrepid hackers, but just ask yourself IF you'll use those work arounds after you see a few examples made.
And yet again, I ain't /for/ SOPA and whatever attendant problems it makes. But the industry reaction -- and further escalation -- is absolutely predictable and enough justified that Congress is easily swayed to yet more fascism.
Think this more or less on topic: Know why I'm not much worried about SOPA? ... Read Glenn Greenwald today for the latest actual danger to liberties: the entire world is to be "legally" treated as a battleground with the military arbitrarily nabbing people, no charge, no trial, no rights. The gov't is on verge making all your premises of due process and reasonableness obsolete.
Greenwald writes poignantly: "To be perfectly honest, I just couldn�t get myself worked up over a bill that, with some exceptions, does little more than formally recognize and codify what our Government is already doing."
So, continue to focus on that you'll still be able to illegally download porn and games: lets me mourn less for the country to see how empty-headed you kids are.

The thing is, they are playing our... domain(hehe), we will run rings around these idiots. If we were playing in the courthouse they would do to us what we are doing to them: kick ass.
They escalate: we dodge, hop, skip and jump and get out a new solution.
While they have to find someone to look into each of our "solutions" and how to "fix" it, we look at what they do and a couple of minutes later we know how to respond.

Not to be rude or even contentious, but YOU are playing whack-a-mole with a browser plug-in.
MY solutions are more comprehensive, basically to tax The Rich (including Big Media) back down to where they're no longer a danger to the 99%. I recognize that's reaching for the stars, but no other solution short of bloodshed EVER gets The Rich (and the gov't they own) back under control.
But I tire of fighting uphill battles against both The Rich and smartass little fanboys who foolishly think that they can flout laws (such as copyright) and not have it come back on them by a general disregard for laws and their own rights such as The Rich are implementing today. That comes out here as various railing, specifically that browser plug-ins just aren't enough to overcome a gov't that has plenty of jack-booted thugs.
Besides that, in general, Mike's quaint notions aren't a solution to piracy. Big Media HAS a solution that I think, sadly, WILL work, and The Rich don't care what "collateral damage" it does.

Re: Re: Re: Does China's Great Firewall work? -- Yes, largely.Nah, it's a numbers game. 95%>>5%
The 95% have more people working on their problems. If it comes down to class warfare, 95% will always win. That is why the 5%, or 1%, or whatever minority you wish to demonize will not let it come to class warfare. Generally, they didn't get into their positions by being dumb.
That's also why China is such a threat
1 billion > 300 million
They have a lot more human capitol than us, which is why we should be focusing on being more efficient instead of saddling the market with bad regulation that add inefficiencies.

3. Of course some in government wants to give the military the ability to detain US citizens from inside the United States without a trial. How else will they be able to use all that information they've been illegally gathering if it would be inadmissible at trial?
Anonymous Coward, 1 Dec 2011 @ 3:17pmthis p's me off so bad. I don't watch tv, I don't play too much videogames and I don't listen to that much music. my entertainment I could care less if every tv show and videogame goes away. I don't give a **** about them. most software I can do without. so if they did away with every software that is being pirated I could care less... but I will be so mad if they water down the internet that I use to get the information that I want. I PAY for my internet and they're talking about watering it down and telling me what I can and can't do with it! HOW IS THAT OK?!
all you idiots that say "quit being paranoid", "worry about it when it happens", "it doesn't stand a chance of passing" think about this...
worrying about stuff when it happens is one of the worst mistakes you can make. I've done it too many times.
the bill does have a chance of passing
this isn't paranoid conspiracy theorie bs, it's reality. they already censor tv, they already have a warrent to listen to your phone conversations with no probable cause (remember it's for your own good!), they already tell you what you can and can't do all the time.
all I'm saying is. if this bill passes (and it appears to have lots of support) then what is the point of having the internet. it will be rendered almost useless.

I don't get to ask these kinds of questions on other sites like ars or TF, but I was wanting to know if you have considered that putting a publicly available proxy list into your plugin may result in people using your plugin for "other questionable things" besides accessing TPB or other sites. Are these proxies taken from a private listing that can only be accessed one-at-a-time by clients or is it taking proxies at random from a large proxy listing site?
MAFIAAFire, 3 Dec 2011 @ 8:52am
Re:Random from multiple proxy listing sites.
We have no control over the proxy sites (which is good - no central point of failure) what people do once they reach these proxy sites is not any of our business.
A person can do _exactly_ whatever they could do previously on these proxy sites. Our addon does not give them extra powers to do more or less.
Think of it as a taxi service, we take them to the airport... what they do once they get to the airport is out of the scope of the cab driver.
We have no idea why they are going to the airport either and quite frankly, it's none of our business.

This person is not here to take debates seriously, they're just a copyright troll. I get tired of reading post after post and seeing you all getting trolled by a person who's only sole purpose is to derail the topic with their unnecessary commentary. It makes me not even want to read techdirt comments anymore because you're all so gullible. Most sites would have banned this person by now, do mods here have any plans to stop him from ruining the comments section or what? I can't say I'll be returning if you don't do something about the troll.

ACC Blog
Player of the Week
PJ Hairston - North Carolina
Roy Williams has been hesitant to commit to the "small ball" lineup for the rest of the season but last week against Duke and Virginia it was a success. Hairston was inserted into the lineup due to a combination of injuries and inconsistent play in the frontcourt. Desmond Hubert, Joel James and Brice Johnson have all had their moments this season but the trio of underclassmen haven't been able to provide any sort of consistency, particularly on offense, in conference play. At 6'5, Hairston isn't your prototypical power forward but he is relatively strong and creates all kinds of matchup problems on offense. He scored 23 against Duke and had a career high 29 against Virginia last week and stayed active on the glass in both games pulling down 8 and 7 rebounds respectively. Against Duke, it was his offensive rebounding that kept the Tar Heels in the game in the second half and he put on a shooting clinic against the Cavaliers going shot for shot with Joe Harris in what ended up being the Heels' highest scoring game since they put up 97 against McNeese State before Christmas.
Who's Hot
Joe Harris - Virginia
For the second straight week, Harris lands in the "Who's Hot" category. The G/F for the Cavs has been on a recent tear that has seen his scoring average move into the top 5 in the conference at 16.7 points per game. Saturday's loss at UNC was his 4th straight game with 20+ points and his 5th in his last six games. He has really solidified himself as one of the conference's best shooters in recent weeks and as mentioned above, went shot for shot with [Player: P.J. Hairston] on Saturday and single handedly kept Virginia in the game in the second half. The Cavs are squarely on the NCAA bubble but with Harris and fellow forward Alil Mitchell playing well of late, a end of season run before the ACC tournament could solidify their spot.
Scott Wood - NC State
No team has struggled with expectations more than the 'Pack. After dropping three straight ACC contests, NC State in trouble of losing their 4th straight and dropping to below .500 in conference which would have been an epic failure with the high hopes that this team had coming into the season. Wood saved the season by hitting a game winning three pointer against Clemson and then followed it up by going J.J. Redick on the Hokies by hitting 6 three balls in an OT win at home. When players and fans look back on this season, they will point to Wood's performances in both games as what saved their season. Wood is the best sharpshooter in the conference and has a career 3 point percentage of 41%, including over 44% this season.
Who's Cold
James McAdoo - North Carolina
Up until last week, McAdoo had only game in single digits all season. Saturday's game against Virginia was the third straight single digit scoring performance for the talented sophomore. He has struggled lately in an offense that relies heavily on the three pointer and that has no inside scoring threat. McAdoo is more comfortable on the perimeter and likes to use his unique skill set to create matchup problems. The problem is that Roy Williams has gone to a small lineup that features McAdoo at the center spot. That's not McAdoo's game and he has struggled to find his way in this new-look lineup that the Heels are using. If McAdoo can learn to utilize the spacing that this lineup gives him in the paint and try and face up and use his quickness on larger defenders then he can make it work. It is just something that he will need to get used to because it is hard to change on the fly when your team is in need of quality wins.
Top 5 2nd Round Draft Sleepers
Kenny Kadji - Miami
After two unsuccessful years under Billy Donovan at Florida, Kadji has really transformed his game and has become one of the better inside outside threats in the ACC. He won't wow you with his athleticism but he has length, plays tough defense, is a good rebounder and can stroke it from the outside. In the right situation, a guy like Kadji could make a name for himself in the League.
Michael Snaer - Florida State
Snaer's calling card is his ability to play defense. Leonard Hamilton instills that in each and every one of his players and it benefits them at the next level. He doesn't have the same talent around him as he had in previous years but Snaer has increased his scoring and developed a closer mentality this season. He is a reliable three point shooter and has good size for the off-guard spot in the NBA.
Dexter Strickland - North Carolina
Strickland is another player who plays hard nose defense that does quite a few things well but nothing extremely well. He can play both guard spots and has an improving outside shot. His development has been hampered by injuries during his time in Chapel Hill but he is still improving as a player and is worth a flier in the middle of the second round for a team in need of guard help.
Ryan Kelly - Duke
High basketball I.Q. and being a knock down shooter should get Kelly drafted this season. He's not the most overly athletic guy in the world but he's still a fairly decent athlete and a guy who at minimum is worthy of a second round selection. Long-term he might be better suited for the International game but he has the skill set to make an NBA roster.
Richard Howell - NC State
Most scouts are scared of Howell's length and athleticism. He's listed at 6'8 but is probably closer to 6'7. He doesn't possess great leaping ability and that could hurt him in workouts. He has had weight troubles in the past but has put those behind him. What he does possess is a great motor and a knack for pulling down rebounds. He has great size and strength and is difficult to box out. Call him a less athletic Jason Maxiell but with more rebounding prowess.

Very nice blog and post published here. Haslem and Howell both are well known athletic heroes, and they both has unique qualities. Comparatively, I could not say who is the best than others.

What people are saying - Write a review
I've read a number of Great Lakes shipwreck books, and "Ghost Ships of the Great Lakes," by Dwight Boyer is definitely my favorite. He does a fine job of telling the story of each ship clearly and as accurately as possible. He never loses the reader in a maelstrom of technical terms, and he never gets overly editorial or overly preach-y about his own opinions about whose fault the shipwrecks were. He manages to take each chapter and work it into a narrative which is both historically feasible and dramatically compelling at the same time. One can feel the heartbreak at the end of the Benjamin Noble's voyage, or the spine-tingling mystery surrounding the Marquette & Bessemer No. 2, or the piquancy of the Andaste captain's new hat.
Also, I wish to mention that the book is well edited. There seems to be a tendency among Great Lakes history publishers to put out sloppily-edited books that abound with misspellings, horrendous punctuation, careless type-size changes for no reason, all to the point where they become distracting to the reader, and should be embarrasssing to the publisher. That is not the case here; Freshwater Press can be proud of an immaculately-edited book.

From reading about 50 posts on this forum I could see this place is very active, quick replies to questions etc.
The theme is very adaptable and will save me hours of dissecting themes to change them to my needs.
juggledad was helping me with a problem the minute I registered yesterday. His answer didn't solve the problem, but I decided I would make a small donation, I don't want him to buy too much booze at one time (jk). I intend to donate more over time.
The moment I donated, my problem was magically solved and juggledad's answer was working. How amazing is that!!
I wasn't even working on that problem, but something else!!
Sceptics may say that I had some other code interferring, but I prefer to believe in karma.
So I urge everyone to at least donate $20 to Flynn or juggledad and see if the magic works for you.

The destruction from Typhoon Bopha in portions of Mindanao, in the southern Philippines, is worse than feared as rescue workers continued to discover bodies under knee-deep mud, said a Catholic Relief Services official who coordinates the agency's storm response in early December. "It looks like a tsunami hit. It's just complete and total destruction. Whole hillsides were washed away in flash floods," said Joe Curry, the C.R.S. country representative. "The staff there have been through a half dozen typhoons and floods in the Philippines, and they say this is probably the worst," Curry added. Typhoon Bopha made landfall on the east coast of Mindanao on Dec. 4, lashing the island with 120-mph winds and torrential rains. Curry said that a C.R.S. team reached New Bataan, a city of about 80,000 in the Compostela Valley, on Dec. 6 and found much of the community under mud and without electricity. At press time the death toll was more than 700 and expected to climb higher.

Indie Rapper Tops Sales Charts By Connecting With Fans, Using Free Music
from the oh-look-at-that... dept
Miller sold about 150,000 copies of his debut album last week and became the first indie artist to debut at the top of Billboard in well over a decade. And he did so without having a single playing on the radio (another thing that old-timers insist is a "must.") While he had some help from truly indie label Rostrum, he also worked with INgrooves and Fontana for distribution, and apparently it all worked well enough. But, of course, the real key was the internet. The NY Times points out that Miller is one of a generation of hip hop artists recognizing that "free music is an investment that pays off." Shocking. If only there had been sites arguing that for the better part of a decade... But I digress.
But the driving force behind Miller's success on the sales charts is that he's really connecting with fans. His Twitter feed has 1.2 million followers and his Facebook feed has 1.5 million fans. His YouTube channel apparently has something crazy like 176 million views. But it's not just about the numbers, but the connection. Miller has continued to tour and perform live as a way of building up his fanbase, but also interacts with them online in a variety of ways.
I'm sure, as with every artist success story we highlight around here, our usual critics will come up with all sorts of reasons why Miller is "an exception." But one by one, all of the "must haves" that the old guard insists are necessary are being shown to be total myths. Embracing the internet works. Treating the internet as a problem, doesn't.

DIY: How To Make Your Own Embellished Belt
You know that obsessive feeling you get when you fall in love with a designer piece and it's literally all you can think about? That's exactly how we feel about the entire Saint Laurent F/W 13 collection. Designer Hedi Slimane approached '90s grunge with a West Coast attitude, pairing luxe babydoll dresses with everything from flannel shirts to fishnet stockings. While we may not be able to invest in these covet-worthy pieces for a few more months--or ever, if we don't get our budgets on track--we were delighted to find out we could get the Saint Laurent look with some help from our favorite DIY guru Erica Domesek of P.S. I Made This. Perfect for elevating simple summer dresses, Slimane's chain and charm-embellished belt serves as the ideal June project! Keep reading for Domesek's step-by-step instructions to create your own show-stopping accessory, plus don't miss the how-to video!
Saint Laurent F/W 13 collection
- 1 yard of 2 1/4 inch Grosgrain Ribbon ($2)
-2.2mm Chain Cable ($9/package of 12 feet)
-Buttons (note: Erica used a range of styles and sizes)
-Pearls ($7/package)
-Studs ($3.15/bag of 100)
-Findings Mix ($15)
-Glue Gun
To measure the appropriate length of your belt, wrap the ribbon around your waist, add a foot on each side, and then cut. Before you begin gluing, lay the ribbon on a flat surface. (Note: since you will be tying this belt, you will not want to embellish the entire ribbon; we recommend marking off a section the length of your waist.) Place the chain cables in a zigzag pattern across the section you want to embellish. Apply small dollops of glue along the top to secure.
Layer and glue a healthy mix of buttons, pearls, and findings over the chain cables.
Cover up any of the dried glue that is showing by pushing studs into the ribbon.
For your next GNO, let your mixed-media belt take center stage against a flirtatious skater dress.

CHICAGO - Another governor is trying to lure away Illinois companies.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott sent a letter to Illinois' top 100 companies this week asking them to buy a "one way" ticket to Florida. The Republican says Florida is undergoing "an incredible economic turnaround" and touts the state's credit ratings.
Scott also scrutinizes Illinois' high taxes, including a 2011 income tax increase.
His letter comes the same week Texas Gov. Rick Perry was in Chicago trying to poach companies.
Perry says he wants to spark a competition between the states and has criticized Illinois' nearly $100 billion in pension debt.
Governors from Indiana, Wisconsin and New Jersey have made similar attempts.
Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has dismissed them as publicity attempts and says Illinois is a great place to do business.
