Spoilers ahead!
A few not-so-shocking giveaways about this week's new movie releases, including Justice League and Frank Serpico
Matthew Lickona 6 p.m., Nov. 17
According to a story in the Sacramento Bee, 33.9% of 2012 graduates of San Diego's Thomas Jefferson School of Law were unemployed nine months after graduation. The data are from the American Bar Association. Jefferson had the highest unemployment rate among 21 California law schools. The unemployment rate was 21.7% for California Western School of Law grads, and 11.1% for University of San Diego grads. The lowest rate was 1.7% for Stanford's law school.
The bar association also reported on the percentage of 2012 law school grads with a full-time job requiring a law degree nine months after graduation. Jefferson was 19th at 31%, Cal-Western 9th at 47.1% and University of San Diego law school 8th at 47.5%. Again, Stanford was tops at 91.2%.
Don Bauder's story on California law school post-graduate employment statistics needs some context. More than two-thirds of our Thomas Jefferson School of Law graduates are employed nine months after graduation and our students continue to land excellent positions in the legal field – in many cases they are finding their "dream job."
Moreover, California law school graduates don't find out whether they pass the bar exam until almost seven months after a May graduation – and many wait until they are licensed attorneys before beginning their job search. Many law school graduates also use their juris doctor degrees in occupations outside of legal practice. A law degree is valuable in quite a few professional pursuits, including business and politics. For example, Mayor Bob Filner's Chief of Staff, Vince Hall, is a 2008 TJSL graduate, and Randy Frisch, the new Vice-Chancellor of National University, is a 2009 graduate.
Our current law students are on an incredible run of obtaining prestigious internships and fellowships that will undoubtedly lead to more of them finding those "dream jobs" after graduation. Please see our website (www.tjsl.edu) for further information.
Susan Bisom-Rapp, Professor of Law, Thomas Jefferson School of Law
Susan Bisom-Rapp: You should do your complaining to the American Bar Association, which publishes the figures. Also, for the most part, your complaints also apply to competing law schools. And Jefferson is in last place among those schools, with the highest unemployment rate. Best, Don Bauder

I agree. This is a beautiful shot and I love snow very much, especially since we never get any (or very little). Thanks for sharing this with everyone.
Great photograph, I like the black and white photos, and this one taken at one of my two favourite seasons. The silhouettes of the trees is awesome and the mist adds another element.Many thanks, not a big puzzle but a very good one.

Vancouver is my favorite Canadian team but I'm more of a Kesler fan though. There are a few players on the roster I dislike though but I'm a Bruins fan first.

Several members of Oceanside's trash-advisory commission say two of the panel's most outspoken members were bounced from the group because they raised questions about a new city contract with Waste Management of North County and clashed with Councilwoman Esther Sanchez, the council's liaison to the commission.
The two men ---- Shelby Jacobs and Steve Peck ---- were serving terms that had expired on the nine-member Integrated Waste Commission, but both had stayed on the panel when no one was appointed to replace them, as is common practice.
There are three other seats on the commission that remain unfilled.
On Nov. 10, the City Council voted 3-2 to replace Jacobs with Nadine Scott, a Sanchez supporter and former commission member, and to remove Peck from the panel without naming a replacement.
In both cases, Mayor Jim Wood, Councilman Charles Lowery and Sanchez voted for the changes, and Councilmen Jack Feller and Jerry Kern voted against them.
Jacobs said he was not reappointed to the panel as payback, and Peck said he was removed out of spite. Jacobs' term expired in July.
Sanchez said Jacobs and Peck were replaced to get new blood on the committee, not because of their actions on the commission or because of any disagreements they might have had with her.
"Generally speaking, our commissions have a wide array of thought," Sanchez said. "There were other people who wanted to serve."
But commission Vice Chairman Michael Healy said new people could have been added to any of the three open seats, so there was no need to replace Jacobs and remove Peck.
"When you look at their backgrounds, they're two of the most qualified people who could be on this commission, and yet they were bounced off despite the fact that there are still vacancies on the commission," Healy said. "That's plain vindictiveness."
Jacobs said Sanchez and Wood "purged" the commission of people who didn't rubber-stamp their opinions.
"The reason we're being displaced has nothing to do with qualifications," said Jacobs, a retired aerospace engineer with Rockwell/Boeing who worked on the U.S. space program.
Jacobs said Peck, an environmental engineer, was removed because he was "more vocally independent" with Sanchez in questioning the Waste Management deal and the council's decision to negotiate a new deal with Waste Management rather than seek competitive bids.
"She micromanaged us as a liaison to the City Council," Jacobs said of Sanchez. "She dominated our commission like she does the City Council."
Healy and another commission member, Mimi DeMirjian, said the council's action was retaliation against Peck and Jacobs for being outspoken on the commission.
"The contract's a done deal, so why remove them? What's the point? There is no point," DeMirjian said. "
Commission members are appointed by the mayor with the concurrence of the council. Members serve three-year terms, and alternates serve two-year terms. Jacobs had been on the panel since 2004; Peck was appointed in December 2008 to fill an unexpired term as an alternate.
Wood did not return phone messages last week.
Former commissioner Charles Bradshaw defended Sanchez and said she has been dedicated to the city and the trash commission.
Bradshaw, who is Camp Pendleton's recycling waste manager, said Sanchez went out of her way to learn the intricacies of waste management and recycling, attending a 2009 meeting of professionals in the field to make contacts.
"Esther did beyond what most other politicians have done," said Bradshaw, who said he resigned from the commission in July because of his workload at Camp Pendleton.
"There's a lot of things that Esther learned along the way, and whether you like her or not, she absorbed a lot," Bradshaw said.
It was after she attended the 2009 meeting that Sanchez began demanding that Waste Management be required to pay a franchise fee as part of any new contract, Bradshaw said.
Under the 13-year deal the council approved in October, Waste Management will pay the city a one-time signing bonus of $1 million plus an annual franchise fee of at least $1.7 million.
The company also guarantees that rates won't go up for the first two years of the contract, promises to convert to an automated recycling system using wheeled carts and buy new trash trucks that will be fueled by natural gas.
"It's a hell of a deal," Bradshaw said.
Jacobs said he's "not convinced that the Waste Management contract is the greatest thing since sliced bread."
Jacobs said the commission had interviewed trash consultants at the City Council's direction to help prepare a trash proposal to put out for competitive bid.
Just as the commission was preparing to make a recommendation, the council scrapped that plan, opted to negotiate solely with Waste Management, and hired a consultant recommended by Sanchez to help negotiate the deal.
"They rushed to get that done," Jacobs said. He said people will never know if the city could have gotten a better deal because the trash contract wasn't put out for competitive bid.
If the contract had been put out to bid, "I guarantee you, we would have done at least as well if not better," Jacobs said.
Peck said the process of awarding the contract should have been more open.
"This commission got totally shoved aside from its main goal. Its main goal was the solid waste contract," Peck said. "There was no public participation."
The city is sponsoring multiple public workshops on proposals to improve beach restrooms, yet the council held no workshops on the trash deal, Peck said.
"It's evident this thing got railroaded through," Peck said. "I got removed because I'm drawing attention to how this thing went down," Peck said.
Sanchez said she and Wood preferred to put the contract out for open bid but couldn't get the rest of the council to go along with it.
"We did not have the votes. We had to move forward on it," Sanchez said.
Noting that the council approved the Waste Management contract by a unanimous vote, Sanchez said, "we got more than we thought we could."
"Getting all five of us very happily going forward says a lot," Sanchez said.

TORONTO – In the buildup to Saturday's season-ending 2-2 draw at Toronto FC, New England coach Steve Nicol challenged his players to show their professionalism in the final match of 2011.
The game carried no tangible impact – aside from jockeying for Re-Entry Process and SuperDraft position at the bottom end of the table – for either side. Under these circumstances, some players and some teams wouldn't approach the match in the proper manner. Nicol didn't want his players to fall into that trap.
"That's what I asked the guys," Nicol told MLSsoccer.com after the match. "You're playing for the fans, for your teammates and the club. Let's see who the good pros are. Do you play because you love the game or do you play for a paycheck? They went out to a man and played because they want to play."
By applying themselves from the opening whistle, the Revs were able to keep pace with the Reds and produce the type of performance required to capture a road result.
"It's an improvement from the past couple of games we played," Revolution defender Darrius Barnes said. "Of course, we wanted to go out on a high note and get all three points. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. But I was happy with the way we started the game. We had a little spell where we relaxed and they got control of the ball. Both teams played well. It was end-to-end a little bit. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get the winner."
Although Danny Koevermans dashed the Revs' hopes of collecting all three points from the ragged affair with his 83rd minute equalizer, the road draw reinforced that there are potential building blocks in place for next season, according to Revolution goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth.
"We're away from home, so a point isn't the worst thing in the world," Shuttleworth said. "We're out of the playoffs. You could say that there isn't much to play for, but we showed we're still giving 110 percent. We want to put the pieces together for next year."
The exact composition of next year's squad will provide a constant topic of discussion for the winter, but Nicol said this group managed to end its difficult season in the right way.
"At the end of the day, we didn't win the game, which I thought we deserved to do," Nicol said. "But they showed they're good pros. I'm pretty proud of them for the fact that it's the last game and they played right to the very end."

We don't have any talent at RB, WR and Tanny and Bradway need to be fired before the draft
Neither of these teams are very good at all. Both have solid D's but AZ has been playing way over their heads. I wouldn't be shocked if they end up missing the playoffs. StL sucks. Their offense is pathetic. As bad a shape as we are in I wouldn't be shocked if we beat either of these teams.

text: I bought this to replace a DCS-3220 for nighttime surveillance. What a difference in almost total darkness. The image improved a little after installing a small infrared light source to flood the monitored area. I had it installed less than 30 days, when I recorded thieves attempting to break into my car and truck, at 3:00 AM, while parked in my driveway. The video conversion for the police report was very grainy. Not as good as the playback video. Converting the video image to a series of jpeg images greatly improved the picture quality. Good enough to identify the thieves. The only problem I encountered was the need to adjust the video gain, and alarm triggers to function in total darkness and full daylight. Solved this by creating an application that updates the camera setup over the IP connection, around sunrise and sunset times. I am very please with the performance of this camera.

This week, businessman Gary Bolton was sentenced to seven years in prison for selling fake bomb detectors. Sentencing him, Judge Richard Hone said the equipment he had sold, sometimes for as much as £10,000 per unit, was "useless" and "dross".
Judge Hone could have used the same words to describe the credit and identity protection products sold by Credit Protection Plan Limited and 13 high street banks.
Announcing the establishment of a £1.3bn compensation scheme for victims of what it described as "mis-selling", Britain's market regulator was rather more restrained in its language.
Despite finding that banks sold 23m policies to 7m customers that either grossly exaggerated the level of cover on offer or were entirely superfluous, the only enforcement action taken by the authorities has been to fine CPP £10.5m.
As with interest rate swap mis-selling, the Financial Conduct Authority has defined its main duty as being to secure customer compensation against the need for a proper investigation of potential fraud.
To put this in context, the total fines for the systematic and potentially fraudulent sale of credit insurance and interest rate derivatives total one-third of the penalty the Prudential was hit with after regulators decided it had been a little tardy in telling them about its failed takeover of AIA three years ago.
It is laudable that regulators should take such a keen interest in ensuring those hit by these scandals should be properly compensated. However, these redress schemes appear to involve a Faustian pact with the banking industry whereby they pay compensation to effectively buy off a far more damaging and dangerous investigation into potentially serious wrong doing by their staff.
As if this state of affairs were not bad enough, the extreme reluctance and often shabby treatment of potential victims by the banks should have made the FCA far more wary about striking these type of deals.
It is now 14 months since Martin Wheatley, the FCA's chief executive, announced a compensation deal with banks over the mis-sale of interest rate swaps.
Yet today, not one victim has seen a single penny of compensation. Ironically, many of those involved in the mis-selling have to date done rather better out of the compensation scheme, with many former bankers being hired at rates of up to £900 a day to administer the process.
You do not have to be a rabid bank basher to see that there is something fundamentally wrong in all this and that the FCA's approach is neither good for customers, nor the banks themselves.
Though there is much that is wrong in the highly-politicised approach of the US regulatory system, its ability to extract real concessions and frequently punish even the biggest of banks has something to recommend itself.
It is notable that in all likelihood the Libor scandal would never have been come to light had it not been for the aggressive approach taken by the US authorities. It is time that British regulation got a bit more American.

Utah Utes football: Brian Blechen suspended for first three games
Naval Vet Philadelphia, PAJuly 31, 2012 6:28 p.m.
"Grasping at straws, Navel Vet, grasping at straws...Any way you slice it, the Utes finished behind 7 other teams in overall conference record..."
Nope. I'm not the one inventing alternate realities in order to desperately make Utah's 2011 season less successful. The truth it, "anyway you slice it, the Utes finished behind" FIVE other teams in overall conference record. FIVE; not seven. Furthermore, at 8-5, your big brother finished with a worse overall season record than only THREE other Pac-12 teams.
PLUS, we pounded YOUR mid-majorey WAC-wannabes 54-10, watched your boys quit, and witnessed your fans' frantic 3rd Qtr scramble to your stadium's exits. There really is no comeback for this comment. Period.
alternate Salt Lake City, UTJuly 31, 2012 2:27 p.m.
Wow! A story about a difficult time for young man, and it turns into a a creativity contest to determine who can say "I hate your school" the best. Sad commentary.
Give me a break, Utah will definitely miss this young man those first three games. He is the heart of the defense. But, this story should be about him and I would think words of support should be the theme of these comments not the trash talk that we are reading.
We all know that Utah beat BYU and lost to Colorado. We all know that BYU lost to Utah and then made a change and had success. But know what, that was last year. Over, done, finished.
Final words, best wishes Brian, you can get through this! You need to be on the field!

Brave Sir Robin San Diego, CAJuly 31, 2012 1:13 p.m.
Eh, not exactly. It's more like, "thanks to pressure from fans/boosters, a BYU player gets suspended right after the season (even though the team found out about the offense in September) and is suspended through spring practice, then conveniently reinstated just in time for fall camp."
RockOn Spanish Fork, UTJuly 31, 2012 11:59 a.m.
Too bad about this kid. Hope Brian gets things right. He's a very good football player, but, football is down the list on important things in life. Kyle W. has sent him and everyone else the proper signal.
More than that, hope the poster on these sites ever grow up. It's an article about a young man's life and you guys degenerate into a pathetic name calling exhibition.
Jeff29 Cedar City, UTJuly 31, 2012 10:55 a.m.
The difference between Utah and BYU fans:
A BYU player gets suspended and the majority of BYU fans discuss the issue that got the kid in trouble and their hopes that he can get his life back on track.
A Utah player gets suspended and the majority of Utah fans discuss the fact that he won't be missed on the field with no regard for what might actually be wrong in the kids life.

Brian understands discipline.
Whit enforces equal discipline.
Pretty obvious--typical.
Duckhunter Highland, UTJuly 31, 2012 9:57 a.m.
I won't be surprised when this "suspension" is shortened by a game or two with a proclomation from whittingham that blechen "has fullfilled all the requirements" to be re-instated. And I won't have a problem with that either. If the coach feels he did what he was supposed to do to come back then that is up to the coach.
Brave Sir Robin San Diego, CAJuly 31, 2012 8:56 a.m.
Careful with the police blotter smack, BYU fans. Do the words "Kyle Van Noy" and "DUI" ring a bell?
Spokane Ute Spokane, WAJuly 31, 2012 8:37 a.m.
The usual characters are out in force, taking shots at Utah. BYU fans can play connect the dots, and use the Colorado game as an out; but losing 54-10 at home is the trump card. Ouch.
As far as Blechen goes, the first 3 games are certainly the ones to miss. I wonder what he actually did?
IDC Boise, IDJuly 31, 2012 8:11 a.m.
I wonder if the suspension will actually stick? Interesting to see.
I would sleep a little better if Star were suspended as well.

Personally I think we will need all the help we can get against BYU. I hope not, but his presence will likely be felt.
Hmm. Tough sentence to decipher. I would think that if he is suspended, his presence probably won't be felt very much.

Grasping at straws, Navel Vet, grasping at straws.
The Utes may have finished with the 6th best conference record, but the Utes were beaten badly by the two teams that they tied with. Any way you slice it, the Utes finished behind 7 other teams in overall conference record, third in the worst division of the conference.
Naval Vet Philadelphia, PAJuly 30, 2012 11:14 p.m.
anti BCS:
"you LOSE on head-to-head tie breakers"
Not so my frantic and emotional little brother. Because there WAS no tie breaker for 3rd in the Pac-12 South. The ONLY tie breaker rule that applies is when determining who would play in the CCG should teams tie for 1st in their respective divisions. But Oregon won the North division outright, and UCLA was the outright winner of the South.
And, for what it's worth, ASU played in the Las Vegas Bowl. That's a lower tiered bowl game than the Sun, so Las Vegas picks AFTER the Sun. Does the Sun Bowl pick the "8th-place" Pac-12 team? Nope. They pick after the Rose, Alamo, and Holiday. Don't be so frantic and emotional.
Sorry. You lose the head-to-head argument. No tie breaking rules need apply.
"The Utes still only finished with a better conference record than four PAC 12 teams..."
The Utes ALSO finished behind only 5 teams with better conference records. You're so desperate to pin 8th on Utah, but you know it's in vain.
54-10, and your boys quit. Haha!

Don't go there. NOBODY is guilty of more excuse making than the Indy-WACers. You whine about blown calls, 8 and 7 turnover games, Robert Anae, Freshman jitters, field conditions [on your OWN field no less, and one that didn't stop FSU from scoring 50+ pts on YOU], and you love to cling to "they didn't beat us, we beat ourselves" nonsense.

Dnquixote says "Personally I think we will need all the help we can get against BYU."
That depends if you think last year was a fluke or a trend. If these were Mountain West days, then losing a starter for the first 3 games would hurt. It's not boastful, just fact, that Utah has improved recruiting and depth. The suspension is an opportunity for other players to step up and show what they have. Plus, the suspension is known now, not a few days before a game, so they have all off fall camp to prepare.
motorbike Cottonwood Heights, UTJuly 30, 2012 10:47 p.m.
Wait, I'm confused ... we were all told ad nauseam that Whittingham cared too much about beating the cougars to have a player suspension last through that game.
Perhaps 54-10 changed that philosophy???
Where are you on this topic this year coug fans? Are you going to applaud Whittingham for suspending Blechen through the all-important BYU game???

CO Ute
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
The Utes still only finished with a better conference record than four PAC 12 teams (one of which U lost to), and you LOST to the two teams that finished with the same 4-5 record as U.
Finishing THIRD in a division that only had two teams that finished with winning records after not playing either of the two best teams in the other division shows just how pathetic Utah's 4-5 PAC 12 record really was.
CO Ute PARKER, COJuly 30, 2012 9:46 p.m.
@17-14 Hurts Don't It?
Just like to point out a couple of things. First, the article is about a very good Utah football player that did something wrong and is going to be suspended for 3 games; not about the PAC 12 conference. If, however, the article was about a conference; someone would need to explain to you that when there are divisions, there are no overall standings. Hence your comment about 6th place is incorrect. Maybe if your team does get in a conferene with two divisions these incorrect statements will be a thing of the past.
anti BCS Anaheim, CAJuly 30, 2012 9:12 p.m.
Utah(4-5) LOSING decisively to BOTH California(4-5) 10-34 AND Arizona State(4-5) 14-35, means Utah ONLY finished ahead of Oregon St(3-6), Arizona(2-7), Colorado(2-7), and Washington St(2-7).
12 - 4 = 8th place

As far a Blechen I wish him well.
Uteology East Salt Lake City, UtahJuly 30, 2012 5:58 p.m.
I hope he learns from the suspension and comes out fired up against ASU.
8th in 2011? Why do you keep parroting false claims? Isn't that against the honor code or something?
Here's some that disagree with you:
"Utah's first season in the Pac-12 went well, thanks to a defense that led the conference in points allowed and finished in the top three in total defense, rush defense and pass efficiency defense. " -- Mike Huguenin (Yahoo Sports)
"Still, the initial verdict is fairly positive. While the grind of Pac-12 play is far different than the Mountain West Conference, it's clear that Utah can compete in the Pac-12. They figure to be a long-term fixture in the South Division race." -- Ted Miller (ESPN)

War is an extraordinary and morally ambivalent activity. "Thou shalt not kill" yet we organize and justify killing on a massive scale time and again.Whether you view war as murder or self-defense, we are all partners in a large scale emotional dislocation that requires attention to the traumas soldiers accept and endure.

- How to Read a Study Record
Objective: To evaluate the effects of perioperative glutamine supplemented total parenteral nutrition support on nutritional status, immunologic function and intestinal permeability of patients with chronic radiation intestinal injury.
Methods: The 40 patients with CRII were randomized into two groups, the standard TPN group and glutamine-enriched TPN group. The patients were administered total parenteral nutrition for at least four weeks (two weeks pre-operation and two weeks post-operation). The nutritional status, immunologic function, plasma concentration of glutamine and intestinal permeability were measured at 1 day, 1 week and 2 weeks pre-operation, 3 day, 1 week and 2 weeks post-operation. Nutrition status was determined the plasma concentrations of hemoglobin, albumin, prealbumin, transferrin and triglyceride. Immunologic function were measured by the percentages of CD4+T cells and CD8+T cells, the ratio of CD4 +T cells to CD8+T cells ( CD4 +/CD8 +) was calculated, and serum IgA, IgM and IgG.The intestinal permeability was detected by the urinal ratio of lactulose and mannitol.

Rest in peace, True Blood fans, your beloved show about the sexy supernatural goings-on in a little town called Bon Temps, Louisiana will continue, uh, going on for another season. HBO just released a shocking statement where they decided, after much deliberation I'm sure, to renew one of their most popular shows for another season of hormone-fueled paranormal activity.
I don't know why but "shirtless" is always the first thing I think of when I hear True Blood. After four absolute hit seasons -- although, in my humble opinion only the first series really killed it from start to finish, the rest are very hit or miss -- of course the network plans to proceed with another. In fact, I could probably have missed almost all of Season 2 and been happy. Except the parts with Godric, 'cause he was too rad to dismiss and gave us our first real glimpse at a softer side of Eric.
The press release from HBO states that Alan Ball and crew will begin production on the fifth season before year's end in hopes of a summer 2012 premiere. In response to the crazy-devoted following the show has amassed, Ball said, "I remain amazed and delighted by the enthusiasm of our viewers. I can't imagine having more fun than this." To be fair, it does look like a show that would be pretty fun to work on...special effects, makeup, scantily clad beautiful beauty. Yeah, not bad.
Based on the best-selling Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, True Blood just received four Emmy nominations, including: Alfrie Woodard for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series, Outstanding Art Direction for a Single-Camera Series, Outstanding Makeup for a Single-Camera Series (Non-Prosthetic), and Outstanding Sound Editing for a Series. President of Programming Michael Lombardo said, "I am thrilled that True Blood continues to enjoy a phenomenal reception from both subscribers and critics [...] Alan Ball and his gifted team have devised the greatest thrill ride on TV."
The greatest? Really? Well, at least this thrill ride continues on for another year. Watch True Blood Sundays on HBO.

This costume was a lot of fun to do even though no one really knew who I was. XD I'm not quite finished; I still need to make a couple more jackets for the various stages of bloodiness, the rifle, and the shoulder holsters if I can ever figure out how. The jacket was based off of Butterick 5616, the pants are Butterick 5221, no modifications. I got the wound prosthetics from a Halloween store last year on clearance. It seems kind of silly now, since the shoulder wound barely shows and the neck wound doesn't at all, plus it's covered in blood anyway. XD I used Kryolan F/X blood, which I loved, because it actually dries on your skin, and isn't sticky like most fake bloods (unless you sweat).

Why Troy Davis Wasn't a Trending Topic: Progressive Email and Twitter Messages Censored in US and UK
Yahoo Appears To Be Censoring Email Messages About Wall Street Protests
(ThinkProgress) - Thinking about e-mailing your friends and neighbors about the protests against Wall Street happening right now? If you have a Yahoo e-mail account, think again. ThinkProgress has reviewed claims that Yahoo is censoring e-mails relating to the protest and found that after several attempts on multiple accounts, we too were prevented from sending messages about the "Occupy Wall Street" demonstrations.
The protesters, organized online and by organizations like Adbusters, have called their effort "Occupy Wall Street" and have set up the website: www.OccupyWallSt.org . However, several YouTube users posted videos of themselves trying to email a message inviting their friends to visit the Occupy Wall St campaign website, only to be blocked repeatedly by Yahoo. Emails relating to the OccupyWallSt.org protest were blocked with the following message (emphasis added):
Your message was not sent
Suspicious activity has been detected on your account. To protect your account and our users, your message has not been sent.
If this error continues, please contact Yahoo! Customer Care for further help.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Yahoo's customer care Twitter account acknowledges blocking the emails, but says it was an unintentional error:
"We apologize 4 blocking 'occupywallst.org' It was not intentional & caught by our spam filters. It is resolved, but may be a residual delay."
Troy Davis and the Twitter Black Out Conspiracy
(Single Black Male) - As a blogger, a number of people contacted me throughout the day on Tuesday, September 20th with the theory that "Troy Davis" and related topics were being censored on Twitter. I also received an email that day from Courtney Rose-Harris of the NAACP New Media Department in Washington D.C. She asked that I share the story of Troy Davis with my network. The subject line of her email included the hashtag "#TooMuchDoubt."
A casual observation of current Twitter trends at the time saw no mention of #TooMuchDoubt or another popular and obvious hashtag, #TroyDavis. Despite the fact that the story was being covered by national news organizations across the country.
Twitter admits editing offensive Trending Topics, plans more
Today Twitter's CEO said they may in the future "edit out any...clearly offensive [trending topics]." He also said "we edit out any [trending topics] with obscenities." Thanks to @rachelsklar for finding this tweet and @AbigailCollazo for pointing it out.
Government Orders You Tube To Censor Protest Videos
(The Intel Hub) May 24, 2011 – When viewers in the UK attempt to watch videos of the protest, they are met with the message, "This content is not available in your country due to a government removal request. "
We then click through to learn that, "YouTube occasionally receives requests from governments around the world to remove content from our site, and as a result, YouTube may block specific content in order to comply with local laws in certain countries."
You can also search by country to discover that Google, the owner of You Tube, has complied with the majority of requests from governments, particularly in the United States and the UK, not only to remove You Tube videos, but also specific web search terms and thousands of "data requests," meaning demands for information that would reveal the true identity of a You Tube user. Google claims that the information sent to governments is "needed for legitimate criminal investigations," but whether these "data requests" have been backed up by warrants is not divulged by the company.
"Between July 1 and Dec. 31 (2009), Google received 3,580 requests for user data from U.S. government agencies, slightly less than the 3,663 originating from Brazil," reports PC World. "The United Kingdom and India sent more than 1,000 requests each, and smaller numbers originated from various other countries. The numbers are imperfect, because a single request could consist of multiple users' data or removal of multiple URLs."
With regard to search terms, one struggles to understand how a specific combination of words in a Google search can be considered a violation of any law. This is about government and Google working hand in hand to manipulate search results in order to censor inconvenient information, something which Google now freely admits to doing.
You Tube's behavior is more despicable than the Communist Chinese, who are at least open about theircensorship policies, whereas You Tube hides behind a blanket excuse and doesn't even say what law has been broken.

These books were primarily targetted at teenagers, and I had originally read fifteen or so of these books when I was still living in Iran, a few decades ago. When I migrated to Canada, not only I didn't get the chance to bring any of these books along with me, but worse yet I later found out that my grandfather had got rid of my books after my departure (some of these books were disallowed under the Islamic regime...due to their romantic contents). It took me another 30 years of seeking all over the world, plus hundreds of emails, phone calls and even fax and letters, to be able to acquire original paperback editions of these gems.
I still vividly remember how much I enjoyed reading these books back there and then, in the old country. Parviz Ghazi Saeed's books are all written with a unique style, and are full of excitement, suspense, romance and drama...quite arousing, breathtaking, intriguing and captivating...especially if you are a teenager :-)
These books could be categorized into three diferent categories: (1) Drama, almost always containing romance(2) Detective stories, with characters of Loveson, Samson and Richard, as well as those with the character of Stevens(3) Action: various independent war or adventure stories.
When I was searching for these books, I had various contacts looking for these books for me...So naturally this lead to double-dipping and I received 13 duplicate copies of these books...I obviously accepted to pay for the duplicates, to honor my word. Around the beginning of year 2000s I put these 13 books on sale on the net...and voilà came an email from United Arab Emirates!...showing high interest in these books...a deal was struck...and the buyer told me that he wanted to personally see these books before paying for them...so he flew to Canada a few days later!!! I was surprised given that the trip must have cost him a lot more than the cost of the books altogether! I met him in the lobby of a luxury hotel, he was an arab sheik in his late 50s, looked very rich, was very well mannered and quite articulate...he was accompanied by another arab man who acted as if he was a bodyguard...The arab sheik did NOT read or speak a word of Farsi...we maintained the conversation in English...he was actually buying these books for his very young and Extremely Gorgeous Iranian wife (at most half his age, looked 20 years old)...he showed me photos of her...she looked like a beauty goddess...she had seen my ad on the internet and had talked to him about her interest in these books. The sheik being in love with his young and insanely beautiful wife had come to buy these books in person, and wanted to surprise her by handing her the books on their wedding anniversary. We had a few hours worth of talk, he paid me and we parted.
I was able to get a hold on Mr. Ghazi Saeed's phone number at the TV studio where he was working at the time in the end of 1990s. I called him up a couple of times and spoke to him directly. He was very enthusiastic & friendly, as I had expected. At the end of the very first conversation I felt like crying however...my dear author had just advised me that he would have liked to obtain a copy of his personal favorite book (of himself), called Cheshmha ...it was heartbreaking for me to accept the fact that an author did not have access to his own books; and at the same time I felt glad that I could maybe be able to find this book for Mr. Ghazi Saeed...
After the first phone conversation I went on a search frenzy to find this favorite book of his, which at the time I did not yet own. About a year later my perseverance paid off and I finally acquired that rare book, and called Mr. Ghazi Saeed up immediately...but after having thanked me he advised me that he had already been able to secure a copy of that book since!
On January 2013 I spoke to Mr. Ghazi Saeed Again. This time my dear author advised me that he had long been searching for yet another book of his, his very last book written in Iran called "Javanehayeh Paeezi". I happened to have this book in my collection, so this time around I was able to mail him a copy, I am proud to say. As a token of appreciation of my gesture, he sent me two autographed copies of his books.
Mr. Ghazi Saeed's writings were appearing first in magazines before being ultimately published in pocket book formats. However some of his writings never made it to being published as a book. Also, some of Mr Ghazi Saeed's books have been re-published in Post-Revolution Iran, but they are completely re-edited and censored...worst yet Mr. PGS's name is not even appearing on the cover of most of these books...The newest trend is collecting digital versions of the books... But I prefer the original paperback editions, as not only they have not been censored, but they also bring back the nostalgia years, plus PDFs give me a headache!!!
Finally, I like to thank you, Mr. Parviz Ghazi Saeed for all these beautiful books you have written. They brought me hours and hours of joy, suspense, intrigue and excitement when I was a young man...I have read many of your books more than once...I could relate to many of your books in various ways...I never forget the way you described love, lust and passion in your various dramatic stories...and when I was a kid I used to act as if I were detective Loveson...in my heart you are the greatest author in the world....your books, here in the very cold cold cold Canada where I reside, are almost the only things that link me back to my childhood, to Iran, to the place I was born and grew up in; and that gives me warmth.

Review for Washburn Center for Children, Minneapolis, MN, USA
Our son was constantly setting small fire and burning things up. He was about 6-7years old. We were afraid he would do some very serious things if he was not stopped. We were so lucky to find a wonderful therapist who had a whole program for young children who were fascinated by fire. After finishing the program, he lost his focus on fire. This was priceless to us!!!
