If Wayne Gretzky, the single greatest attraction in hockey history, chooses to pass on tomorrow nights Hockey Hall of Fame induction ceremony, what an embarrassment that will be for NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and his fellow owners.
And what an indictment of the damage remaining from the attempt to salvage the Phoenix Coyotes.
The very fact that the NHL has cut a deal to buy the Coyotes, which has basically excluded Gretzky and the money owed him, may save them a few million dollars in the process but wont be worth the alienation created with the most important player the game has known. The relationship between Gretzky and the league is the worst it has ever been no matter what rhetoric is spread.
Of all that Bettman has bungled over the years, this may be his largest gaffe from a public relations point of view. Hockey is a hard enough sell in the United States and selling out Gretzky will end up costing them more in the long run than it would have cost them to pay The Great One what he was owed.
This and that
The minute by- minute Phil Kessel updates, what he ate for lunch, how many shots on goal he had at practice, how many towels he uses, are a little much and a whole lot over the top. One word to remember people: Perspective .... Who kidnapped Luke Schenns feet and replaced them with Brad Marshs ... Cant wait for the NFC playoffs this year, with New Orleans, Minnesota, Philadelphia and Dallas likely contenders and who knows who else: Its not like Montreal and nobody else in the CFL East ...
With his next shutout, the forever kicked around Chris Osgood will have 51, which would tie him with passed over Hall of Famer, Rogie Vachon, and borderline hall of famer, Curtis Joseph ... What a terrible hockey market Long Island is. The Islanders are actually winning games, John Tavares is contributing and the Isles still arent drawing ... About Stephen Reaves, Argos quarterback of the future. Never mind ... The big game in the U.S. these days: Trying to determine where LeBron James will sign next season. Chris Bosh is all but a bit player in all that high pitched speculation.
Hear and there
A baseball voice thinking out loud claims the New York Yankees will part with both World Series MVP Hideki Matsui and Johnny Damon and heavily pursue pitcher John Lackey and outfielder Matt Holiday. I cant help but think that Lackey and manager Joe Girardi would mean instant conflict ... Will World Series rings be devalued now that Eric Hinske is about to have two? ... The big change in the Blue Jays front office is the work ethic and vitality of new GM Alex Anthopoulos. Veterans in the office are amazed by the new change of pace ... Little known coach Dan Bylsma doesnt get enough credit for all he has done with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Bylsmas road record since taking over late last season is a crazy 15-3-3 heading into Saturdays games ... If Michael Liambis chooses to appeal his lifetime suspension from the Ontario Hockey League it wont be with the benefit of the Erie Otters. The team has decided they wont appeal. There is, for the record, some interest in Liambis from some minor pro leagues in the U.S. ... How much is the NHL responsible for the injury to young Ben Fanelli? The league removed obstruction to open up the game and add speed to hockey and now defencemen often are targets for hard-charging forecheckers being urged to pursue their checks. Its something worth revisiting again.
Scene and heard
A Friday to remember: Leafs win, Raptors win, Toronto wins Pan Am Games bid. Do you get the feeling that after that huge Toronto Nationals outdoor lacrosse championship, this city is on a roll? ... Theres nothing like a city striving to get what Winnipeg has already had twice (Pan Ams). Whats next, pursuit of the Manitoba Moose? ... Dear John Mitchell. Please shoot. You can do it. No need to count steamboats from the time the puck is on your stick to the time you let it go ... Anthony Calvillo, the slam dunk most outstanding player in the CFL, has been the Alouettes MOP seven different times, which ties him with some guy named Jackie Parker for the most times being named MOP of any one team. Russ Jackson, for the record, was Ottawas MOP on six occasions ... Argos coach Bart Andrus may look like Norm Rumack but he coaches like Kay Stephenson ... Never wondered why The Score fired Gabe Morencey. Wondered why they hired him in the first place ... This may be the best bye-week in NFL history: Buffalo, Cleveland, Oakland and St. Louis all have the day off ... Word around Quebec is that Lavals football team is over the salary cap.
And another thing
A quick personal look at the hockey Hall of Fame Class of 09: To truly appreciate how gifted Steve Yzerman was, you had to see him in the early years, with those terrible Red Wings teams that he personally carried into the playoffs. One year he was 62-points better than the second leading scorer on the Wings ... Brian Leetch: The least appreciated great defenceman in NHL history. In the Cup final of 1994, he beat Vancouver basically by himself ... Brett Hull was the most instinctive scorer of his generation. He was an absolute natural for finding open ice and taking advantage of it ... Luc Robitaille was the best bad skater in history. He was Hull-lite, gifted around the net and ridiculously consistent ... Sometimes good things happen to good people, like St. Louis president John Davidson being honoured in the broadcast wing of the Hall of Fame. Big John was one of the top three colour men Ive ever heard and an even better guy ... No matter what you might think, I can now say it officially. Im a Twit, having joined this Twitter stuff (twitter.com/sysimms). My apologies in advance to those I may insult ... Happy Birthday to Johnny Bower (85), Bobby Bowden (80), Ed Kranepool (65), Keith Jones (41) and Rickie Lee Jones (55) ... And hey, whatever became of Jimmy Carson?

The Onion is known for its outlandish stories and cheeky headlines. So when you see a title such as "Why does most modern sports broadcasting suck so hard?," you expect to read, laugh, throwaway.
Except then you realize the column is in the AV Club section. You read closer. You nod. You smile. Noel Murray understands:
Watching a Saturday baseball game on Fox is like tuning into an especially lame daytime talk show, interrupted by the occasional play in the field. This most recent Thanksgiving weekend, while gorging on football, I grew exhausted by the frequent breaks to show the broadcast crews of the respective games enjoying their holiday dinners. A little bit of that is fine, but on one game, an announcer went to commercial teasing more footage of the staff's touch-football outing. (Because surely that's why we we were all watching.)
The writer spends almost 2,000 words ripping apart the current state of sports broadcasting, landing blow after blow. It's probably not anything you haven't heard before, but it's an excellent collection of points that combine to demonstrate the dumbing down, broadcasters-as-stars phenomenon.
We have but one quibble.Murray fails to note that networks are trying to land a wider audience. They want to appeal to non-traditional sports fans, who may enjoy segments about turkey dinners and flag football games mixed in with an explanation of their third-and-seven play call. The problem with broadcasting isn't entirely that the hosts and play-by-play guys aren't focused entirely on the game; it's that they are talking about such stupid stuff.
There has to be some line between tasteful, intelligent conversation and Lee Corso wearing a Redskins hat.

Behavioural Insights in Action August 2013 Event
'Behavioural Insights in Action' run in partnership with IPAA, saw over 100 participants attend from across the public sector, private sector and academia.
Master Class Feedback
The Behavioural Insights Team runs Master Classes for NSW public sector employees throughout the year. The aim of the Master Classes is to broaden the knowledge and understanding of behavioural insights within the NSW public sector and to demonstrate how it can be practically applied to public policy and service delivery.
Want to hear from the UK's 'nudge unit'?
We asked the UK Cabinet Office's Behavioural Insights Team (BIT) for some short video clips setting out the rationale for using behavioural insights (BI) and randomised controlled trials, and specific examples of their application to public policy.
Case Study Series - 'Don't Rush': Highlighting the Emotional Cost of Speeding (Transport for NSW)
Speeding remains the biggest single road safety issue on NSW roads. At least 46% of all fatalities in NSW in 2009 were speed-related. This rate is increasing, up 48% since 2007.
Case Study Series - 'Best Intentions': Targeting Smokers to Promote Quitting (Cancer Institute NSW)
Tobacco smoking is the largest cause of preventable death and disease in Australia. It increases the risk of cancer, as well as various heart and lung diseases, and is estimated to cause over 6,600 deaths in NSW alone each year. One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit, with a third of those deaths occurring in middle age.
Case Study Series - 'Pinkie': Challenging Masculine Social Norms on NSW Roads (Transport for NSW)
Speeding is the biggest contributor to the annual NSW road toll, accounting for around 40% of deaths.
Case Study Series - 'Home Power Savings Program': Saving Energy in Low Income Households (Office of Environment and Heritage)
The key policy issue underpinning the Home Power Savings Program is the social impact of the rising cost of electricity on low-income households in NSW.
Case Study Series - 'Between the Flags': A Hospital Safety Net System to Save Lives (NSW Department of Health)
Unexpected deaths in hospitals are often preceded by warning signs, with up to 80% of cases having indicators of deterioration in the hours or days leading up to the death1. If these signals can be detected earlier, more lives can be saved. Despite these observations, not all hospitals have a systematic approach to the identification, review and rapid treatment of such patients.
Case Study Series - 'Dark Side of Tanning': Advertising to Change Tanning Attitudes and Behaviours (Cancer Institute NSW)
Each year, 1,600 Australians die from skin cancer, which is the highest incidence in the world.

St. Peters, MO (Law Firm Newswire) March 7, 2014 - Sex offenders enterting treatment at Missouri state facilities face few prospects for release.
In 1999, the Sex Offender Rehabilitation and Treatment Services (SORTS) program was established to confine previously convicted individuals who were deemed very likely to reoffend. Since its inception, 200 individuals, including several elderly patients, have entered the program.
At first, SORTS was restricted to the Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center in Farmington, Missouri, but with its growth — the program adds 20 patients every year — it has spread to space at the Fulton State Hospital. At $300 per day per patient, SORTS has cost Missouri taxpayers $25 million per year.
Most significantly, no one who has been admitted to SORTS has ever emerged from the program. Civil rights advocates and criminal defense attorneys are especially concerned by this last factor.
"There is a tendency for state lawyers to try to convince juries that the treatment regime is necessary to remain in place, even after treatment has been completed," said Charlie James, a prominent Missouri criminal defense lawyer. "That creates the environment for patients to slip through the cracks in the system when they are no longer a danger to society."
Prosecutors believe that the program is necessary to protect the vulnerable in society from sexual predators, but the process raises legal questions. The facility in Farmington is next to a prison, and the temporary exits of its residents are tightly controlled. Residents serve indefinitely until their risk to re-offend has been reassessed to a "tolerable" level — which some say will never occur.

Professor Simon Crowe FAPS
Let me begin our first conversation by outlining a vision for psychology over the next two years and beyond. Share this thought experiment with me: it is star date 01.01.2020 and despite our well-founded concerns that we may have devastated the globe with our arrogance and errant behaviour, we have managed to make it to the end of the decade.
The future that many foresaw for psychology in the first decade of the 21st Century has come to fruition: psychology has become a prominent force in global society. Psychologists are in demand within a broad array of scientific, professional and political settings, and we now can truly say that psychology has become a household word.
Our discipline plays an essential role in developing and applying psychological principles across a wide range of societal, group and interpersonal situations. Healthcare is now comprehensively addressed from the perspective of mind/body integration and is based upon an understanding of the contributions of the psychological, cultural, societal and physical components of both health and disease.
Psychological practitioners are the primary providers of a comprehensive range of behavioural health care services including the provision of (and the power not to provide) psychopharmacological agents.
Some of these notions may seem far-fetched, but many are already well within our reach; we only lack the opportunity and the ambition to realise our potential. To achieve such an outcome, I believe we need to focus on three important aspects of the development of psychology:
To narrow the focus to progress we can make over the next two years, we need to:
With regard to issues of the past, I regretfully watch three of the Directors of the Society pass back into civilian life. It has been my great pleasure to get to know and work with Bob Montgomery over the last several years, and his fostering of many of the developments of the Society's mission in his time as President has been inspirational.
He has been a tireless champion of many issues, including his masterful input into the disaster response preparedness area in the context of the Victorian bushfires, his powerful support for the Australian Indigenous Psychologists Association (AIPA), as well as his clear vision of an international focus for the APS through various memoranda of understanding with partners in Asia and North America, and the marvellously successful ICAP conference.
I feel sure he will not become what the American Psychological Association characterises their past presidents as, the 'president neglect'.
Also leaving us are Anne Lipzker and Kate Moore. Anne has been a tireless campaigner for regional and rural psychology as well as for psychologists in the public sector. She has also been a great advocate of many issues of public interest. Kate Moore has been a great asset to the Board through her former life as an accountant, and as a result has kept a weather eye on the Society's accounts.
She has also contributed through chairing our very successful Annual Conference in Darwin as well as the Cross Cultural Psychology Conference. Each of these people will be sadly missed, but hopefully, not neglected.
As a final note I would like to wish you and your family and friends safety, happiness and peace for the festive season, and hopefully you will neither eat nor drink too much, but just enough to make it festive! I look forward to a new year working with you in realising our shared vision for our discipline and our practice.

A RENEWED appeal has been made for information about a fatal road accident.
Jordan Dowson was pronounced dead at the scene of the incident on the A174 Brotton bypass, east Cleveland, which happened on Friday, February 7 at 5pm.
Three cars were involved in the collision – a black Vauxhall Corsa, a grey Audi estate and a white Volkswagen Scirocco. The 19-year-old, of Guisborough, was a passenger in the black Corsa.
Loading article content
Investigating officer, PC Neil Foster said: "We would still appeal for witnesses to come forward, particularly those witnesses who were travelling westbound towards North Skelton, who may have seen the Vauxhall Corsa prior to the collision or those who may have witnessed the collision itself."
A 19-year-old man who was arrested following the incident remains on bail pending further enquiries.
Anyone with information is asked to contact PC Neil Foster from the Cleveland and Durham Specialist Operations Unit on the non-emergency number 101.

Update: I seem to have solved it by first manually going into the XML and deleting the path to the save/load, then I got an error in in snes9xgx, then I clicked reset settings and all is well.
Hey everyone, just got a Wii so bear with me.
I'm on the latest firmware and am running Snes9XGX 4.3.1. I configured it to read games off my network share which works well (for the most part, had to organize all my roms into alphabetical order to fit them all on the screen, some limitation of the emulator I discovered). But a more pressing issue is the inability to save, is it because I'm running over the network?
ie: I beat world 1 of super mario world. I press the Home button on the Wiimote, click Save. I am greeted with, "Error opening directory!" So I hit cancel, and I'm presented with "Save Game" with two options, New SRAM and New Snapshot. I hit "New SRAM" and it says "Saving..." then "Error creating the file!" I hit cancel and I get "Error opening directory" again. So I hit cancel. I do some Googling and they say you must have this specific structure on your SD card. Well, mine is fine (according to others):
Capitalization is correct, my snes9xgx is outside the root. Here's my settings.xml file below if someone wishes to see. The roms I am loading off a Windows 7 PC's samba share with permissions set for Everyone and full access (meaning read+write). IP of 192.168.1.2 and the correct ROMs path and everything. Also, my SD card has the lock switch taped back so it can never lock (PC SD reader pushes the lock switch on so I had to tape it :P)

The NBA has announced its list of invitees who will attend the ceremonies Thursday night in the "green room" where they will be sequestered until David Stern announces their names and team selections.
Among the players on the list provided to ESPN.com include:
- Duke guard Kyrie Irving
- Arizona forward Derrick Williams
- Turkey center Enes Kanter
- Kentucky guard Brandon Knight
- Connecticut guard Kemba Walker
- Lithuania center Jonas Valanciunas
- Czechoslovakia forward Jan Vesely
- San Diego State forward Kawhi Leonard
- Florida State forward Chris Singleton
- Washington State guard Klay Thompson
- Texas forward Tristan Thompson
- BYU guard Jimmer Fredette
- Kansas forward Marcus Morris
- Colorado guard Alec Burks
- Kansas forward/center Markieff Morris
It would be a shock if any of these players are still available when the Spurs pick at No. 29.
But considering the past drafting record by Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford it probably won't matter. The Spurs won't be basing their pick on a player's college history as much as what the Spurs' braintrust feels he will accomplish in the NBA.

Wonder Wallet Pattern Gets A New Cover Girl
Lazies, We've found a new 'cover girl' for our very popular Lazy Girl Designs 'Wonder Wallet' pattern (#LGD211). Here she is:
It seems unbelievable to me, but our little Wonder Wallet pattern will turn 10 years old in just a few months. From the very start, we've had fabric with little bees and apples on it, (designed by Debbie Mumm), for the cover girls. Well, those bees have served us well, but they are tired. So we are setting them free and turning to pinker pastures.
You can see the old cover and read about the 'secret' to our Wonder Wallet here.
The cover isn't the only thing I've updated. While the original pattern is wonderful, I took this 'birthday' opportunity to add tips and extra ideas that many of you Wonder Wallet enthusiasts have sent me over the years.
'Thank You' to the Lazies in my Yahoo group and Lazies everywhere for sharing ideas and feedback with each other and me.
Updates to the pattern include:
– Put the cover Velcro on at the end of the project.
– Optional – interfacing for the cover only.
– Optional – round the corners of the cover.
– Adjust the placement for the Velcro on pocket #1.
– Fold down the edge of pocket #3 and press to create a lip for easy access to the coin pocket.
If you already have the original fabulous Wonder Wallet, I don't want you to miss out on these tips and ideas. So, I've made them available in a one-page PDF. If you have the original pattern, these will make sense.
Just print the file below and keep it with your pattern so you'll have this information handy for the next time you 'feel a wave of Wonder Wallets coming' – as Glenda proclaimed at the end of last Monday's post.
Wonder Wallet pattern updates: wonder_wallet_update.pdf
You can see the pattern description and supply list here: wonder_wallet_back_cover.pdf
Now, as for that beautiful fabric, I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. It's 'Tulip Nouveau' by Ro Gregg for Northcott Fabrics. You can see the line here: 'Pink Chocolate'. Nice job Ro! And a big 'Thank You' to Northcott Fabrics for supplying the fabric for our cover samples.
Please keep in mind that the new covers just arrived last week. Give it a couple of weeks for this version with the new cover girls to be in stock at your local quilt shop.

I ordered the pattern for the wallet. I must have a problem because after about 4 tries, I've given up. I think I must be making it too hard. I sure wish I could make one.
Thanks for posting the "updates" as a pdf here. I LOVE this pattern. I've been making them and using them as a way to give gift cards to friends/family this past year. Fast, fun and easy. Can't wait to try the variations!
love getting your bloggs from not so sunny england great ideas love it keep them coming thankyou debbie , managed to get embroidery stitsher stitches seem very loose what am i doing wrong any ideas ,clover products are hard to get hold of here,
Wow, do I feel dense this morning. I have been reading your web page for just a few days and STILL have not figured out how to order a couple of your patterns. Help!!

Hi Dell,
Our patterns are available at local quilt shops around the country as well as many place online. We have a list of some of these places at our website here: http://www.lazygirldesigns.com/guide.php
I purchased and just received the Gracie Handbag No. 118 pattern. Whew, in reading the instructions, I'm already confused, especially when it comes to the inside pocket panel. It just doesn't make sense to me how, in looking at the picture, that you can fold something over and then flip the mid section in two entirely directions without cutting it down the middle, which it does not indicated to do. I need help.
I cannot figure out how to press down the lip on pocket 3 since it already topstitched ??? Also has anyone tried to enlarge the pattern a bit??
Can a zipper be placed for the coin pocket? I love how functional this little wallet is, but I'm afraid my change will go everywhere.
– – – – –
Hi Maria,
The coin pocket on the Wonder Wallet was designed intentionally to avoid needing a zipper. There is more to the design than perhaps meets the eye. The flap that closes the wallet closes the coin pocket, too. Give it a try as designed and see for yourself.
Folding down the coin pocket seemed such an unfitting thing to do to this great wallet that I folded my coin pocket fabric in half, wrong sides together and made a small circle cutout in the center of the top edge. I used a dime and drew around 1/2 of it (eyeballed) then stitched on the line. Trimmed the circle out, snipped around the circle edge, folded the piece right sides out and pressed. I continued the assembly as directed and it is great!!!!! Easy access to the coins and nary a coin has fallen out.
Also, to stabilize the edge of each pocket, I put some fusible webbing along the top 1/2″ edge between the folded fabrics.
Re: Margie's question about enlarging the pattern. The wallet I made for myself is rectangular. I made it to accomodate dollar bills plus 1/2″. It still fits nicely in a coat pocket or front jeans pocket and is less bulky. Love it. I have completely given up carrying a purse!!!
I keep my shopper's cards for various retailers in my Wonder Wallet. When I pull it out in front of cashiers, most of them comment on how cute it is. I used a large covered button on mine, and combined a large-scale print and a small-stripe print, all in olives, reds and purples. I love it!
This little pattern is wonderful !! Once the pieces are cut out, it's very easy to sew together, and makes wonderful stocking stuffers at a low cost. I make multiple wallets at one time since I consider the hard part to be choosing coordinating fabrics. For Christmas this year, I made 17 of these wallets for a teen community center.
i love this pattern. Whenever I open my machine to quilt I make at least 5 wallets. Always have them on hand for gifts. My grandchildren know that I have them so whenever they want to give something they call for a wallet. Thanks for the pattern.
I am trying to get this pattern. I get into the old fabric one from 10 years ago. I have clicked on HERE 3 times and it keeps giving me an OOPS. Please let me know how I can obtain this original pattern. I have a wallet I bought in Texas and everyone of my family and friends like it. I would like to make some for gifts.
Hi Janet, The Wonder Wallet pattern is available here: http://www.craftsy.com/user/977369/pattern-store

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for The Appel Farm Arts and Music Center, Elmer, NJ, USA
The Appel Farm Arts and Music Center has been an integral part of my artistic life for the last five years. They have provided myself and others with the facilities and staff needed to spark the creativity we all hold inside. After years of taking various arts courses at other learning institutions, I was finally able to find a home at Appel Farm. The campus at Appel Farm is truly inspiring, as are the wonderful people who work there. The collective knowledge and talent of these people are what really make Appel Farm stand out in the arts community. Whether it's the summer camp, a children's class, an adult's class, a musical performance or a theatrical program, Appel Farm knows how to make a difference in all the lives that it has touched. I know that they will continue to be a part of my life and that of my family's for many years to come. Thank You Appel Farm!

Just thought I'd mention this here.
Home Depot has a small design center in Charlotte and as part of their cutting back, that store is closing. We've bought some lovely glazed ceramic pots (2 are huge) from Vietnam on sale there. The 2 I bought were a lovely blue glaze and I think they were, like, $56 apiece! I was so happy. The ones I've been looking at are well over $200 each. So if you have a smaller design center near you, check to see if they're closing and get to the garden department asap. We've bought a total of six, not all that large, but they are all Vietnamese. Best glazed pots in the world.
Vietnamese pots
Just thought I'd mention this here.
Any pictures?
JLP: I'll try to get some either later today or tomorrow. Right now it's raining, so I'll wait until we get a break in the rain.
Oooh, very nice! Good find, congratulations!
What a pretty pot and what a great price :>) Couldnt help but notice where you live, Wave Hi to Jr for me if you pass his house. I'm a NASCAR fan LOL
Jr.'s grandmother, Dale's mother, lives the next street over from us! We get traffic through our neighborhood every race week, looking for the house where Dale grew up!
Glad you like the pot.
Oooh, I like that one the best. The dappled color is really nice.
Yup, I like that the best also
Maybe it'll grow on me! Thanks for your comments.
Vietnamese pots are tough because they have such thick walls would be my guess. I've had one out in the garden for years (no drainage in this one) without any breakage. I got mine at Hobby Lobby where they always have 50% sales or so it would seem. There are lots of stores that sell them so keep your eyes open.
hcmcdole: Just made a quick run to HL to check out their pots. Only thing from Vietnam were some gorgeous ceramic eggs, which I will purchase when they go on sale. We're talking maybe 16" tall. Gorgeous blue/green shades. Anyhow, one would look great with the planters and maybe a smaller one to place in another garden area.
Bought two more paint pens while there.
The bad thing (or good thing) about HL is they are seasonal on a lot of their goods. It seems like they should be getting lots of pots in another month or so but they won't go on sale for a while. Usually they start putting sales on for their pots mid summer to fall.
Here is another pot I got there a couple of years ago. Talk about heavy - this won't blow over in a storm like a lot of other pots.
Looks good. I really like that shade of blue.
that's the sorta pot I need at my biz for my banana trees
Dirty: Do your shopping around. Those pots tend to be expensive, so I keep an eye out for sales!
I'm so glad I ran across this thread. I just went to a gardening seminar last weekend and one of the speakers was talking about using Vietnamese clay pots for water features like bubblers because they are hard fired and won't crack in the freezing temps of winter. So I was going to ask about them and where to find them when... voila! I am glad to hear that they can be found in lots of different places. I am going to start hunting and keeping my eyes open for slaes (which I'm sure won't happen until mid to late summer and fall) It would be great to plant in them and not have to worry about cracking.
Lily: Be warned: they are expensive, so do watch for those sales. Wish I had bought more of them last year when HD was closing shop.
hey. we have a friend who is no long with us, a foreigner, as we say. wanted to let some of ya'll know that he didnt abandon us and tried to say g'bye. he just couldn't. he misses us and wanted a few to know.
my email is [email protected] (wink, wink)

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a molecular imaging method that uses small amounts of radioactive materials called radiotracers to detect molecular activity in the body. PET scans help doctors evaluate how well organs and tissues are working and help diagnose many conditions, including cancers, heart disease, neurological and other disorders. PET scans are available on the Reston Hospital Center campus at PET of Reston.
How You Benefit
PET scans provide extremely detailed high-resolution images, leading to more accurate diagnoses and sometimes avoiding the need for exploratory surgery. For many diseases, these scans provide the most useful information needed to make a diagnosis or to determine appropriate treatment, if any. By identifying biochemical changes in the body at the cellular level, PET imaging can often detect disease before it's evident with other imaging methods.
We also have the technology to combine PET and CT images for an even higher level of accuracy and definition in disease diagnosis. With this combined PET/CT scanning technology, you can be assured your doctors are basing your care decisions on the most accurate information available.
What to Expect
A certified nuclear technologist will give you a radioactive substance intravenously. Once the substance has been absorbed, the scan can take place.
The PET scanning machine detects and records the energy levels from the substance that was injected earlier. The images are viewed on a computer monitor. You may be asked to perform specific tasks before or during the test. For example, during a heart PET scan, you may be asked to walk on a treadmill. The scan process lasts about one to two hours.
Learn more about PET scans in our online Health Library.

I compiled this capsule overview some time ago for a different website, but I believe it's still current and some Chowhounds have reported that they found it useful, so here it is, FWIW:
Shanghai Old Restaurant (Lao Fandian)
242 Fuyou Road
This use to be the lead recommendation in all guidebooks, but the food has gone way downhill. It's pricey by local standards, but mostly only of historical interest. It's the dowdy Grande Dame of Shanghainese restaurants, and there's usually a music ensemble on a small stage playing classical Chinese music. Don't order the braised eel, the last time we were there it was a few meager shreds of eel swimming in an ocean of oil, yet it's one of their priciest dishes. The salt and (Sichuan) pepper ribs are still good, however, and probably the red-cooked pork dishes as well.
Sun Ya (Xinya)
719 Nanjing Lu
I've posted on the importance of this place in the interface between Cantonese food and the western appetite during the concession era and its possible impact on expectations of Cantonese cuisine abroad. Like Lao Fandian, whatever glories its cuisine ever had have faded, and you'll find it very familiar to your experiences in middling Cantonese restaurants in the US. They do (or at least did) have one floor devoted to seafood hot-pot, however, and it was excellent in its bounty of fresh seafood, including live shrimps (the ones that tried to make a break for it got tossed into the pot first). They also serve a great fried milk dessert.
Lao Banzhai
600 Fuzhou Lu
On the surface, Lao Banzhai has some of the similar pretenses to elegance as Lao Fandian (the Eight Treasure tea setups at every place setting is an example) but is in fact less formal, less pricey and has much better food. The braised eel here is very good, and, living up to its reputation as a "Yangzhou style" restaurant, has what may be as good a "Lion's Head" meatball dish as anywhere in town.
22 Lane 1081, Nanjing Xi Lu
Meilongzhen started out as a Sichuan restaurant and morphed into a Shanghainese restaurant with Sichuan characteristics, sort of a spicy third stream alongside the saltiness of Zhejiang cuisine and the sweetness of Jiangsu cuisine. It's one of the toughest tables in town to get, especially during wedding season, and probably the main reason every family's cook has ma la doufu in her/his repertoire. The twice-cooked pork and the eggplant dishes are exceptional. They also have a Sichuan-style tea service, with the long-spout tea kettles.
Lao Zhengxing
556 Fuzhou Lu
A favorite of mine, even though it moved from its original homey premises near the old city to a larger, glitzier space. It serves food which tends to be lighter than elsewhere, serving seafood by season and good fowl dishes too. It's especially famous for its herring dishes during winter, but will always have fresh fish and shrimp dishes. It's a good place to try the "squirrel fish", and it also serves a furong chicken dish I like. Along with Meilongzhen, it's the most copied restaurant name from Shanghai
Wang Baohe
603 Fuzhou Lu
Wang Baohe bills itself as the "king of crabs and ancestor of wine". It's been around for about 250 years, originally as a wine house and is especially famous for it's hairy crab set meals. If you saw the Iron Chef special where Chef Michiba went to Shanghai and prepared a crab feast, it was Wang Baohe's kitchen he took over for an afternoon. Even if it's not "hairy" crab season, they will have plenty of fresh crustaceans available. Pricey, by Shanghai standards, but won't bust your per diem.
255 Dalian Xi Lu (Hongkou)
4. No. 240 Lane, Beijing Xilu
18 Xizang Zhong Lu (newest branch)
Meiyuancun is my wife's favorite for "stepping out" in Shanghai, probably because the original branch is in her old Hongkou neighborhood. Its somewhat unusual in that its fame spread from a neighborhood to downtown instead of vice versa, and there are now two branches in the downtown area. It's strong in the seafood and vegetable areas, and in attention to presentation, but is quite reasonably priced. Meiyuancun also serves what some consider the best Beijing duck in Shanghai.

J. Kenner
Release Me
Bantam /January 1, 2013 / $8.99 print / $7.99 digital
He was the one man I couldn't avoid. And the one man I couldn't resist.
Damien Stark could have his way with any woman. He was sexy, confident, and commanding: Anything he wanted, he got. And what he wanted was me.
Our attraction was unmistakable, almost beyond control, but as much as I ached to be his, I feared the pressures of his demands. Submitting to Damien meant I had to bare the darkest truth about my past—and risk breaking us apart.
But Damien was haunted, too. And as our passion came to obsess us both, his secrets threatened to destroy him—and us—forever.
On the surface, recent Los Angeles transplant Nikki Fairchild has it all: beauty, ambition, brains, and a Texas oil money pedigree. But Nikki is a woman with secrets, and her move to the City of Angels is not purely for professional reasons—it's her chance to leave her demons behind and start over.
When Nikki's new boss takes her to an A-list party, he intends for her to be eye-candy bait for a billionaire investor named Damian Stark. What no one realizes is that it's not the first time Nikki has encountered the tennis champion-turned-mogul, and the years have not dimmed this guy's mega-wattage:
He is even more magnificent now than he was six years ago.
The brashness of youth has been replaced by a mature confidence.
He is Jason and Hercules and Perseus – a figure so strong and
beautiful and heroic that the blood of the gods must flow through
him, because how else could a being so fine exist in this world?
Author J. Kenner wastes no time igniting the heat between these two: Nikki isn't even home from the party before a smoking hot, phone-sex-in-a-limo scene tells the reader this book is going to be one intense erotic ride:
"I want to be inside you," he says, and before he gives me permission, I slide two fingers deep inside. My body immediately contracts, drawing me in further. I'm hot and slippery, and drunk with pleasure. The heel of my hand rubs against my clit, and I can't help it – I moan. And now Stark knows my secret."
Nikki soon learns Damian is a man with secrets of his own: his charmed life is tainted by the recent, mysterious death of his socialite girlfriend. Still, everyone wants a piece of him. And he just wants Nikki.
What ensues is a cat-and-mouse game of desire and resistance. All of their witty and playful banter aside, the intensity of the affair might be too much for a woman like Nikki; from the beginning, we know that she is a recovering cutter, that she lost her beloved sister to suicide, and that she spent her life struggling to get out from under the thumb of her cold, controlling mother. Now, her attraction to Damian makes her feel things that bring her to the emotional brink. And when he makes her an erotic offer that most women wouldn't be able to refuse, she realizes that in order to fulfill his fantasy, she must reveal her deepest secrets.
J. Kenner, who also writes under the name J.K. Beck, is an award-winning and best-selling author, and her experience shows. While this novel follows some of the well-tread patterns of the ingénue/billionaire set-ups we've seen over this past year with the Fifty Shades and Bared to You novels, Release Me stands out with its skillful writing and a well-developed theme of appearances versus reality. The layered plot has a tension and emotional depth that reveals the hero and heroine to be kindred spirits: "We are so alike, he and I. Our childhoods ripped from us and driven by the whims of a parent." Their story is an emotional puzzle that forms one piece at a time. Even as the romance between Nikki and Damian takes off, there is always a sense that the past is about to catch up with them. This lurking shadow, along with the imaginative and turbo-charged sex scenes, kept me turning the pages and wanting more.
Jamie Brenner is the author of erotic novels published under the pen name Logan Belle, including her latest Bettie Page Presents: The Librarian ( Pocket Star/Simon & Schuster) and the erotic trilogy Blue Angel(Kensington.) Her historical romance The Gin Lovers, will be out in paperback in February (St. Martin's Press). For more please visit www.jamiebrenner.com or follow her @jamieLbrenner.

The city of Rochester is expected to face fiscal stress in the coming years.
That's according to State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli, who in a new report states Rochester is losing the ability to financially sustain itself and could see certain services be cut unless more funding is acquired.
DiNapoli's report somewhat mirrors recent comments by Rochester Mayor Thomas Richards, who has said the city isn't going broke but that realistic conversations need to be had about the fiscal viability of the city.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Draw Carl from Up
The movie Up is about an elderly man named Carl Fredricksen who embarks on a grand adventure after his wife passes away. With the help of a wacky supporting crew (a young boy scout, a talking dog, and a large bird), he learns the importance of embracing life. Learn how to draw Mr. Fredricksen by following this step-by-step tutorial.
1Begin with his head. Draw a rounded rectangle and make it wide at the bottom. Add ears. Make sure to draw vertical and horizontal lines to help with facial features in the next step.
2Create his face. If you recall from seeing the movie, he has bushy eyebrows, square glasses and a round nose.
3Create his body. Start with his pants and tweed jacket. Note: don't forget to also draw a vertical line for his body's guideline.
4Draw his hands and shoes. In this picture he is carrying three balloons; make sure to draw his left hand as if it's holding something.
5Draw the details on his clothes. Draw a bow-tie, a bottle cap pin and his belt. Then add the folds on his clothes.
6And lastly, draw the three balloons he's holding. Balloons are never completely round. They're more teardrop shaped. And don't forget to add a tiny triangle at the end of each balloon. That's the knot that keeps the balloon full of helium.
7You can now outline your drawing with permanent media. Use a pen or marker (or a paint brush). Wait a few minutes for the ink to dry, and erase all the pencil marks. That will keep your drawing looking neat.
8Color him! He wears brown and white clothes exclusively. So use different variations of brown. Don't forget to color the balloons too. For this drawing, we used yellow, blue, and pink.
Community Q&A
How long does it take to draw this?wikiHow ContributorIt depends on how much detail and color you want to add. Maybe around 20 minutes for medium detail and minor colour.

(after seeing this, I regretted putting the pasta jars in the recycling bin!)
I tend to hoard glass jars and those plastic containers that Crystal Light and other portioned drink mixes come in. Those are the only two things I feel I need to keep and yet I've never reused a single one. :/
I am right there with you on those pasta jars. The problem is that my area doesn't recycle glass. So I feel horrible just throwing them in the garbage. I do try to use them, but I have WAYYY too many in the cupboard.
Why not donate glass jars to your local school? Primary schools and kindys are often looking for jars to fill with small objects or paint for craft. Try community gardens or seed saving groups who need containers for small quantities of seeds, fertilisers, plant tags etc or perhaps a local country women's group or charity that makes relishes, jams etc and need clean jars for their batches of food. You're sure to make someone's day happy! Another idea is to use them to make low cost but thoughtful gifts – like filling with your favourite recipes (print out & roll up then pop inside the jar), then add a fabric checked red/white ribbon tie around the middle & mini wooden spoon and wrap in cellophane. We fill our spare glass jars with some sand or gravel at the bottom, add a tea light candle and tie the top with some decorative string and sit outdoors on the table or up the pathway when guests come. They look magical and cost nothing!
My mum has a pantry shelf full of tin cans that I knock over every time I try to reach behind them. She says that she has an awesome idea for them, I may start encouraging her to finally use them or chuck them out.
I love the holder for the charging cell phone! 😀
Not a waste of penny, these stuffs are worth buying.

PBS NewsHour journalist Allison McCartney recently joined Visual.ly in San Francisco for a residency program focused on data visualization and infographic projects.
McCartney explored the complex story of the National Security Agency's extensive surveillance in her latest project. "The program is complicated and not much is known yet, so we decided to show you what we do know with the help of visuals," she wrote on Visual.ly's blog.
The administration, lawmakers and the intelligence community have claimed the National Security Agency (NSA) programs that use data from private companies to track millions of American are legal. One mysterious court has been tasked with determining whether these programs cross the line, but their decisions are secret, and made without public debate.
The surveillance program that first made news involved collecting the metadata on millions of telephone calls with help from telecommunications giant Verizon. The program is complicated and not much is known yet, so we decided to show you what we do know with the help of visuals.
We start with a flow chart about how the NSA-Verizon program works and the players involved, and move on to a graphic that breaks down the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) and the elusive judges assigned to oversee each FISA application. At its peak in 2007, the FISC approved nearly 2,500 applications, but only denied four.
Wondering what they are? Sorry, that's classified.

Access & Functional Needs: Children and Infants
Children represent nearly 25% of our population. On any given weekday, 67 million children are in schools and child care, a time when children are most vulnerable because they are away from their families.
Only a handful of States require basic school evacuation and family reunification plans. 25% of emergency medical services (EMS) agencies and 6% of hospital emergency departments have the supplies and equipment to treat children.
- Fairfax County's ability to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disaster—especially in regard to children, can neither depend on a single agency, nor be approached on a piecemeal basis.
- Planning for a disaster is a shared responsibility, based on each team member doing what it does best and leveraging the expertise and strengths of others.
Children's Unique Needs During Disasters
Children are not simply small adults. Children's unique
vulnerabilities in disasters must be addressed in emergency
planning activities by the County as well as by the families
themselves. For example:
- Children may experience long-lasting effects such as academic failure, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, bereavement, and other behavioral problems such as delinquency and substance abuse.
- Children are more susceptible to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear threats and require different medications, dosages, and delivery systems than adults.
- During disasters, young children may not be able escape danger, identify themselves, and make critical decisions.
- Children are dependent on adults for care, shelter, transportation, and protection from predators.
- Children are often away from parents, in the care of schools, child care providers, Head Start or other child congregate care environments, which must be prepared to ensure children's safety.
- Children must be expeditiously reunified with their legal guardians if separated from them during a disaster.
- Children in disaster shelters require age-appropriate supplies such as diapers, cribs, baby formula, and food.
Tips for Residents with Children
Make an emergency
plan that is specific to the needs of your child and
age level, including
- an evacuation plan that includes transporting with personal medical devices
- a communications plan that identifies multiple emergency contacts, for family members, parent or guardian workplace, caregivers, doctors, and equipment suppliers
- identifies where to go in an emergency, both a neighborhood as well as an out of region evacuation location
- identifies how you will get there (via car, family or friend, school bus, or public transit), and
- who you can call for non-life threatening assistance, or call 9-1-1 for emergency help
- Children may need a personalized emergency kit, to include items such as medications, assistive technologies, eyeglasses, hearing aids and extra batteries, or books and/or comfort items (a stuffed toy).

I had worked as an NYPD police officer and detective for 13 years. On September 11, my life, like those of so many others, would be shattered by the events that took place that day, and my vision of retiring as a member of the NYPD abruptly ended.
As a result of injuries suffered as a responder to the World Trade Center, I was diagnosed with a condition known as Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a debilitating condition that worsens over time. My frustration grew when every doctor simply wished me luck and sent me on my way. No one could even explain the condition to me. All I knew was my nerves would continue to deteriorate. My body would continue to breakdown and I could very possibly end up in a wheelchair.
With this prognosis, I fell into a deep depression and needed to find something to bring some joy into my life. What would that cure be? DOGS! I enrolled in the New York School of Dog Training and found a new purpose for living.
Then I met Diane Zdrodowski, a breeder of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I fell in love with the breed, and soon welcomed my first puppy Penny-Lane into my life.
Did you know that Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are highly affectionate, playful and aim to please? With those beautiful bright eyes, they can melt hearts and make excellent companions.
My Penny-Lane knows when I am having good days and when I am having bad ones. There have been days when the pain confined me to the bed, and Penny-Lane would stay by my side.
So what's better than one Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, how about two? Penny-Lane and I welcome Lily-Pads into the pack, and together, they give me a reason to get out of bed and help other dogs and families with problematic dogs.

Man faces charge of kidnapping his girlfriend
A man accused of kidnapping his girlfriend and driving at a policeman who mounted a rescue attempt later allegedly threatened to "ruin her life in every way", the High Court has heard.
Matthew Gillard (25) has provided no account for his suspected actions to either police or his legal team, a judge was told.
Refusing his application for bail, Mr Justice Treacy said: "The absence of an explanation for this extremely terrifying incident is a matter of concern."
Gillard, of Connsbrook Avenue in east Belfast, faces charges of kidnapping, false imprisonment, common assault, assault on a police officer and dangerous driving, all on April 4.
Prosecution counsel claimed Gillard and his girlfriend were in his car at a McDonald's in the city when he started questioning her about who she was seeing and her use of social media.
The woman became afraid and tried to get out of vehicle, but he refused to let her go, saying "he wasn't finished with her yet," the prosecutor said.
At one stage the woman managed to escape when the car stopped in Comber, the court heard. But it was claimed that Gillard drove after her, and carried her back over his shoulder.
An off-duty police sergeant spotted the woman being thrown into the car, the judge was told. "He tried to intervene, stating he was a police officer, and stood in front of the car," the prosecution counsel said. "But the applicant drove at him, forcing him to get out of the way."
Refusing bail, Mr Justice Treacy said: "After the relevant events he allegedly told the victim not to report or he would ruin her life in every way." Citing the risks of re-offending or interfering with the course of justice, the judge added: "I'm concerned that the applicant poses a real danger to the complainant in this case."

By now you might have seen the bizarro claim in the blogosphere that Lady Gaga is ready to settle down.
The story, as perpetrated by Grazia magazine and widely picked up by gossip sites, says Gaga and her bartending boyfriend Luc Carl participated in a secret "spiritual commitment" ceremony on the Greek island of Crete last week, where they supposedly exchanged handwritten vows to "show that they are committed to each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together."
So is Gaga ready to become a missus?
While Grazia insists it's all but a done deal (proclaiming, "They are still planning to marry, but that will come later when she has the time to plan a big Italian-style wedding"), Gaga's rep is insisting otherwise.
"It's completely untrue," Gaga's publicist tells E! News.
Looks like you Little Monsters can hold off on sending any wedding gifts.

Letter from Vint Cerf to the House Judiciary Committee Regarding SOPA
December 14, 2011
The Honorable Lamar Smith
Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary
U.S. House of Representative
2138 Rayburn House Office Building
Washington, DC 20515
Dear Chairman Smith:
I appreciate the opportunity to express my concerns about and opposition to the managers' amendment to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and, in particular, the "technological solutions" related to the Domain Name System (DNS) and search engines.
By way of background, I am a Vice President and the Chief Internet Evangelist for Google. I also serve as a Fellow of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and I am a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
I have held positions at MCI, the Corporation for National Research Initiatives, Stanford University, UCLA and IBM. Until 2007 I served as chairman of the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and I was the founding president of the Internet Society.
As one of the "fathers of the Internet" and as a computer scientist I care deeply about issues relating to the Internet's infrastructure. In that spirit I wish to join the Internet and cybersecurity experts who have already expressed concern about the original version of SOPA's DNS provisions. Former NSA general counsel Stewart Baker, Sandia National Laboratories, small businesses such as OpenDNS, inter-industry groups such as the Messaging Anti-Abuse Working Group (MAAWG), five leading DNS engineers (Steve Crocker, David Dagon, Dan Kaminsky, Danny McPherson, and Paul Vixie), and dozens of individual security experts have detailed these concerns in previous letters.
Unfortunately, the amendments to SOPA do not resolve the fundamental flaws in this legislation; the bill will still undermine cybersecurity including the robust implementation of DNS Security Extensions, known more commonly as DNSSEC.
Section 102(e)(2)(i) continues to require service providers to block access to sites. While that provision no longer mandates DNS blocking in order to accomplish that goal, it still permits falsifying IP addresses in response to domain name resolution requests. Any response that provides a false IP address triggers potential damage to the intent of DNSSEC.
If these changes were meant to dispel the concerns of the security community, then they fall far short of the mark. The Section 102(e)(2)(ii) "safe harbor" effectively singles out the manipulation of DNS as the preferred mechanism for blocking access to sites. A key presumption in the Internet design and architecture is the global consistency of DNS lookup responses.
I continue to have concerns regarding the efficacy and wisdom of this legislation. First, attempts to manipulate DNS will reduce the utility of DNS as our chief mechanism for locating sites, and encourage abusers to adopt alternative mechanisms, such as IP address lists. Second, clients of the infringing content can readily change their DNS settings to utilize offshore DNS resolvers. Third, sites dedicated to infringement have many options for evading these measures, such as registering multiple domain names with offshore registries in order to stay ahead of court orders. Fourth, falsifying responses to domain name resolution requests will compromise the "downgrade resistance" of next-generation improvements to DNSSEC, because systems that do not receive a signed answer from a resolver will fall back to accepting unsigned responses to resolve a domain name.
Thus, even with the proposed manager's amendment, SOPA's site-blocking provisions remain problematic. They would undermine the architecture of the Internet and obstruct the 15 year effort by the public and private sectors to improve cybersecurity through implementation of DNSSEC, a critical set of extensions designed to address security vulnerabilities in the DNS.
This collateral damage of SOPA would be particularly regrettable because site blocking or redirection mechanisms are unlikely to make a significant dent in the availability of infringing material and counterfeits online, given that DNS manipulation can be defeated by simply choosing an offshore DNS resolution provider, maintaining one's own local DNS cache or using direct IP address references.
The search engine remedy also suffers from the fact that it will not be effective in preventing users' access to illegal, offshore websites. A congressional "tech mandate" on search engines to delete a domain name from search results does not result in the website disappearing. Users can and do today find their way to these websites largely without the help of search engines. Relative to the questionable efficacy of this proposed remedy, requiring search engines to delete a domain name begins a worldwide arms race of unprecedented "censorship" of the Web.
Rather than continuing to promote ineffective and harmful "technical" solutions as those found in the managers' amendment to SOPA, I urge Congress to pursue a more tailored, effective approach, such as the "follow-the-money" tactic. Such an approach would cut off funding mechanisms to rogue foreign sites by withholding their ability to generate advertising revenue and their ability to have payments processed.

A free and open internet is essential for a free and open society!
Are we a socialist country where EVERYTHING is regulated by the government? What happened to being a FREE country?
"The purpose behind terrorism is to instill fear in people – the fear that electrical power, for instance, will be taken away or the transportation system will be taken down." – V.G.C.
>>> The government should just let him do his job!!! they look like idiots!!! for trying to pull this off – trying to deal with something that is much bigger than themselves >.<
How long before we are so CENSORED , REGULATED and POLICED on the internet by our government in these UNITED STATES OF AMERICA that we become another CHINA or NORTH KOREA? To make something TABOO is to create a demand that will only go UNDERGROUND.
Actually China censors don't go as far as to say you can't post a personal photo of you wearing name brand clothing next to your car without having the host site sued by the clothing company as well as the car company and essentially being put on a government controlled blacklist. I truly hope I'm dead long before I see our countries government utterly destroy every last shred of what this country stands for.
We do not need censorship!!! What are we going to burn computers like books and art and everything else the bothers anyone? This country was founded on freedoms.. It should be run on freedoms. Think about the huge government agency that would have to oversee this. We do not need more government. George Orwell really did know the outcome……BIG BROTHER!!!!
Mr. Smith I promise you that if you continue to support SOPA I will send ANY future candidate against you a large sum of Campaign cash you throw you out of office.
Stand together, or the United States of America become the Untied States of America!
Once upon a time, the internet was a little used, misunderstood option in our lives. Today, it represents the backbone of world communication. Restricting the internet in the United States is really no different than living under communist censorship.
What can i say?
Yet another example of our government allowing corporations (in this case Hollywood Studios and the Recording Industry) have a voice over the people in governing our country. Tailor your votes next year to reflect upon this issue and vote those who support SOPA and PIPA out of office. Show DC and their corporate backers what real democracy looks like by voting these tools out of office.
Vote for libertarian Ron Paul to rid of this unlawful act. Fascism at it's finest.
Freedom of the internet is essential to
our rights as American citizens – And that freedom is what makes us the great country we are. Stop this censorship and allow us to think for ourselves. There are more effective ways to stop piracy!
when will you stop! We do not want to be censored. You are ruining the core of our nation.
Hollywood lobbyists must be behind this package of bills. They are getting too powerful. It isn't enough to make 300M$ on a movie's box office returns. Charge us a buck-a-movie voluntary rental fee, and we would probably pay it. I would. And do pay the people who worked on the movies as well as the studios get paid – including those NOT working for unions, and you might lose your label of "greedy".
Please let us keep our rights to pursue innovations and creativity. Censorship turns great minds into idiots!
A candid and sobering letter by Mr. Cerf. Vint and the resources he cites should all be instrumental in the redraft of this obviously flawed piece of legislation, to protect our freedoms and do what they've done best for decades, use their vision. Rev1?
Whatever happened to the U.S. living by the Constitution? Does this mean if I post a hyperlink to the Constitution for everyone's S/A the United States will sue me for copyright infringement? http://constitutionus.com/
STOP. If this goes through, the whole economy will get even more messed up than it is… Do you even know what normal people are like, and what they use the internet for? Do you not know that every student or anyone with a job needs it? Or do you not give a damn cause they're not you? Have fun following China in they're footsteps, yeah..
Goodbye America, hellllloooo Korea!
Dear Mr. USA,
Freedom of Speech is all we have now.
Please don't take that away too.
Like the so called "Patriot Act" which is anything but "Patriot". It only passed because people were so hype about the U.S. being attacked again. I don't see why the Government gives a dam about something they never did. What about all the black-market's going on in the 90's, like cable decoding boxes, etc… The U.S. Government did nothing! At the same, the U.S. Government spends billions of our tax dollars to illegally pirate and to make public our personal identifiable information as well as digital driver's license photos through systems like NCIC and CJIS 2000 Databases. The U.S. Government allowing the Three Credit Company's, Experian, Equifax and Trans Union to release our Social Security Numbers to the Public via companies like http://www.ussearch.com and http://www.integrascan.com to criminals to make credit cards in our names and fraudulent ruin our credit scores and capability. The U.S. Government spending more than a billion of our tax dollars in the HIPPA laws to take away our suing capability against doctors for not safeguarding our private medical records, BUT at the same time, paying these same doctors for them to post our private medical records to online companies as mentioned in the "Affordable Care Act" to a World Wide Web they admit here they don't trust!
Vint Cerf is certainly the Citizen of the Day. His work and those of his contemporaries have eloquently spoken for itself by example of organized and honest Labor; for the good of the Internet, the United States and the World.
How Dare those and their henchmen crafting that heinous legislation, seek to oppress the world into ignorance and poverty by returning McCarthyism to the Halls of Government, which by use of seemingly noble instruments of law seek to create an entanglement that would halt progress and incarcerate Freedom of Speech and access to Education, the two Major instruments of the Constitution and by its enrichment of our lives thereby serves all who would drink at that fountain of knowledge the Internet provides.
The strings behind that legislation are the Puppet Masters seeking to control our minds and pockets through intimidation, persecution and use of contemptuously oily legislation. By those who do their bidding, the Senate and House members who work for the 1%…. , those, _Un-Republican 'connivers in the closet'_, beating their drums constantly, making noise to confuse the issues, … blowing smoke into the mirrors of our minds.
Sons and Daughters of those who fought WW-2 and gave their lives for Liberty, Equality and Justice; Please, Stand up and be counted. Refuse to allow this assault on our liberties.
Support the Constitution crafted by Older Sons and Daughter of the Revolution against the 'King George Party', resist the effort to TAX our lives again, as they continue trying to do! GMLOGMD said Patrick Henry, I choose Liberty, please do the same.
Uh, history has shown that McCarthy was right.
Were you out with Ron Paul smoking a joint when the news came?
This taking a step backwards. This would not help our economy at all; it would only further our nation's inevitable downfall. To pass these bills is to ask for mass rioting. I'm highly disappointed with the American government for even considering such an idiotic method of solving piracy problems.
Any democrat or RINO who votes for this nonsense needs a beatdown next election.
And NO, Ron Paul's appeal lies with those who want legal hard drugs. No thanks!

Jolie visits mine clearance charity
Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has used her time in Scotland to visit the global headquarters of a charity which specialises in the removal of the hazardous debris of war.
Jolie is visiting the country with her partner Brad Pitt as he shoots the film World War Z in various locations, including Glasgow and Grangemouth.
The pair are long-standing supporters of the Halo Trust, having visited a number of projects in war-torn and mine-impacted countries.
Jolie took the opportunity to visit the trust's headquarters in Thornhill, Dumfriesshire, on Saturday for the first time.
She was given a briefing by senior Halo staff on the current landmine problem and heard about the kind of work they are doing.
She said: "It was a privilege to visit the Halo headquarters and meet their committed staff. In the aftermath of war, Halo's mine-clearing efforts are fundamental to a safe return and community building."
The Jolie-Pitt Foundation has provided "hundreds of thousands of pounds" worth of financial support to Halo, funding humanitarian mine clearance teams in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
Filming of zombie movie World War Z continued in Glasgow city centre.
Extras could be seen running in panic as the shoot took place in the George Square area while actors dressed as soldiers manned tanks and barricades.
Part of the city has been transformed into Philadelphia for the filming, with American cars, police vehicles and yellow taxis lining the streets.

Tonight, at the Drake Hotel, Illinois Republicans are going to do what Republicans do best: throw a party to celebrate having lots of money.
The GOP'ers, upset about sending their hard-earned money to Springfield and wary of inside-the-Beltway politicians, are expected to donate over $700,000 to the campaigns of state Sen. Bill Brady and U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk.
In return, they'll be treated to a speech by Michael Steele, the chairman of the Republican National Committee, who has lived his entire life inside the D.C. Beltway.
It's going to be an expensive night out.
An individual ticket is $500, but that only gets you dinner and the chance to mingle with other people who have $500 to spare.
At the top of the pyramid is the Lincoln Cabinet. Donors who raise $50,000 are entitled to premiere seating for ten, a private VIP reception, special recognition in event materials and a "one-year membership to the Illinois Republican Party's Lincoln Cabinet."
Republicans are expecting over 200 people, a sign of how successful the GOP has been in fundraising this year.
Mark Kirk, who was listed on the program but is now scheduled to make a video appearance, raised $2.2 million in the first three months of 2010 -- more than twice the amount of his Democratic rival, Alexi Giannoulias. Part of their success is due to the fact that Republicans are out of power, and eager to get back in. Part is due to the missteps of Democratic candidates.
"We've raised more in the first quarter than the party did all last year. I think there is a lot enthusiasm," said Party Chair Pat Brady. "The Democrats keep giving us opportunities every day -- bringing in lot of new donors."
Steele's appearance is a sign that Republicans are smelling blood here in Illinois. Taking a Senate seat and the governorship from the Democrats in Barack Obama's home state will be a huge embarrassment to the president.
The entire statewide ticket will be at the dinner, including lieutenant governor candidate Jason Plummer, attorney general Steve Kim, secretary of state candidate Robert Enriquez, comptroller candidate Judy Baar Topinka, and treasurer candidate
Dan Rutherford.
The only other big-time Republican missing will be Rep. Aaron Schock of Peoria, who will also make a video appearance. But, sadly, not providing complementary copies of his GQ spread.
Editor's note: This story has been corrected to properly attribute a quote to Party Chair Pat Brady.
