RATCHET TYPE CAP Filed April 26, 1967 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 FIG. 4
INVENTOR llseeeer 4 car/ :075? J;e
ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,405,837 RATCHET TYPE CAP Herbert L. Carpenter, Jr., Babylon, N.Y., assignor to The Greif Bros. Cooperage Corporation, Delaware, Ohio, a corporation of Delaware Filed Apr. 26, 1967, Ser. No. 633,951 Claims. (Cl. 220-27) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An improved tamper-proof plastic or plastic lined container including a body member having a neck defining an opening into the interior of the container and a closure. The neck and closure are provided with complementary ratchets capable of engaging and interlocking with each other thus preventing the disengagement of the neck and closure without causing a visible deformation to one or both members.
Background of the invention Industrial products such as dangerous and expensive chemicals are often shipped in plastic and plastic lined containers. These products are all too often subjected to pilferage and thievery and large portions of the contents of the containers are subject to loss. This is especially true where the containers are handled by many people during transshipping. Because of the bulk nature and fungible characteristics of the goods so transported, it has heretofore been virtually impossible to detect if such containers were opened and subjected to pilferage prior to their arrival at their final destination unless elaborate and expensive techniques were used to seal the container.
Summary of the invention It is therefore a principal object of this invention to provide an improved container closure which is relatively easy to manufacture, can be utilized Without necessitating the use of special equipment or tools, and which not only protect the contents from leakage or discharge, but also presents a tamper-proof method of sealing the container.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a closure which once sealed cannot be opened without causing physical change to the closure so that the fact of the openin g will be clearly noticeable.
Another object is to provide a closure of the above mentioned type which does not require the use of any extraneous material in order to close and seal the container.
These and other objects and advantages are most effectively attained by providing a container with a closure which may be secured to the container neck threadedly or otherwise. The neck is a substantially cylindrical member extending from the top of the container body and defining an opening into the interior of the container. Complementary screw threads are disposed about portions of the neck and closure for coupling the two and a tamperproof means for securing the closure to the neck is provided so that a visual inspection will disclose any uncoupling or attempted uncoupling of the neck and closure. The tamper-proof means of the present invention comprises at least one projection or tooth and a corresponding engaging surface or depression, one of which is located on the neck and the other on the closure. The projection and engaging surface may conveniently be formed as part of a saw-tooth ratchet, that is, a ratchet having a multiplicity of zig-zag teeth, each tooth having one surface inclined to 3,465,837, Patented Oct. 15, 1968 the axis of the neck or closure so as to permit the overriding of the teeth on the opposite ratchet as the closure is being affixed to the neck; and one surface substantially parallel to the axis of the neck and closure so as to prevent the subsequent disengagement of the neck and closure. The spacing between the adjacent teeth of one ratchet forming the engaging surfaces with respect to the teeth or projections of the other ratchet. Thus, after the closure and neck ratchets interengage, disengagement will not be possible without stripping the teeth from one of the ratchets or causing some other deformation. This would cause the destruction of the physical completeness of the neck and closure, a result easily detectable on visual inspection, thereby allowing any handler of the container of the present invention to quickly and easily detect if the contents thereof had been tampered with.
The closure may be provided with a knock-out type diaphragm, that is a diaphragm which may be removed with relative ease by exerting a force thereon. In this manner, the contents of the container may be removed by the ultimate user merely by knocking out of the diaphragm and pouring or pumping out the contents. A pipe thread disposed about the portion of the closure surrounding the diaphragm has been found to be most useful to facilitate the pumping of the contents of the container and to enable the subsequent rescaling of the container by means of a threaded plug.
Description of the drawings FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a container in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the closure of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged sectional View along line 33 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an exploded side elevational view of the closure and neck;
FIG. 5 is a bottom plan view of the closure;
FIG. 6 is a top plan view of the container neck;
FIG. 7 is a fragmented side elevational sectional view similar to FIG. 3 depicting the neck of the present invention after the diaphragm has been removed and a threaded plug inserted therein; and
FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view of an alternate closure construction.
Deccriplion of the preferred embodiment Reference is now made to the drawings and to FIG. 1 in particular in which a container 10 is shown as comprising a body including an outer body 12 and having a plastic lining 14. The top 16 of the container is provided with suit-able openings for the necks to project. In the container 10, pouring neck 18 and vent neck 20 are shown. The construction of both the pouring neck and closure and vent neck and closure are the same and the following description would apply equally to both. Thus, the container includes a neck portion 20 aflixed to the top 24 of the plastic lining 14 and a separate closure or cap 26. It is not essential that the container be lined and if it is not, then the neck may be affixed directly to the container body 12. The neck 20 consists of a substantially cylindrical member extending away from the container and having a thread 28 disposed about its outer surface. This may best be seen in FIG. 4.
The closure 26 may have any convenient configuration such as the octagonal shape of FIG. 2 or the substantially circular shape depicted in the alternate embodiment of FIG. 8. Referring now to FIG. 3, the closure 26 consists of an upper rim 30 from which concentric walls or aprons 32 and 34 depend separated by the annular spacing 52. A diaphragm 36 is disposed within and attached to the inner skirt 32. In other words, the inner apron 32 comprises the peripheral edge of the diaphragm 36. To facilitate the removal of the contents of the container the diaphragm may be of the knock-out type. Thus, by knocking out the diaphragm the contents of the container may be removed without necessitating the removal of the closure from the neck. To enable the con tainer to be rescaled after the diaphragm has been removed, the inner surface of the inner apron 32 is provided with pipe thread 38 disposed thereabout into which threaded plug 40 may be inserted. FIG. 3 depicts the closure before the diaphragm 36 is removed and FIG. 7 depicts the closure after removal and with the plug 40 inserted. Slot 42 is provided in plug 40 to accommodate a screwdriver or other tool to facilitate the placement or removal of the plug 40. A zone of relatively weaker or thinner material 37 may be interposed between the diaphragm 36 and the inner apron 32 to facilitate removal of the diaphragm. The user may either cut out the diaphragm along the weak zone 37 or apply a sufiicient external force to the diaphragm to cause the severance thereof from the internal apron. A thread complementary to the external thread 28 of the neck 20 is disposed about the inner surface of the exterior apron 34 so as to permit the threaded interengagement of the cap and neck.
The locking feature of the container of the present invention is acquired by providing both the closure 26 and neck 20 with saw tooth type ratchets. In the preferred embodiment, as depicted in FIG. 4, the cap ratchet 44 is disposed about the lower peripheral edge 46 of the external skirt 34. The neck ratchet 48 is provided an arcuate lugs 50 disposed about the neck 20. The radius of the lugs 50 is substantially the same as that of the external apron 34 thus insuring the interengagement of the neck ratchet 48 and cap ratchet 44 when the cap is screwed on to the neck. As seen in FIG. 3, the depth of the annular spacing 52 between the internal apron 32 and external apron 34 is suflicient to allow the cap ratchets 44 to engage the neck ratchets 48 when the cap threadedly engages the neck. The closure 26 may be screwed onto the neck 20 until either the top peripheral edge 54 of the neck contacts the internal surface of the outer rim 30 or the tips 56 of the projections of one ratchet nestle in the depressions 58 of the opposite ratchet.
The lugs 50 on the neck also serve to prevent the withdrawal of the neck into the outer body 12 of the container 10. That is, the bottom of the lugs 50 cooperate with the top of the lining 24 in forming a groove 60 into which the top 16 of the container fits, thereby preventing the neck 20 from slipping into the opening provided for it in the top of the container. For the above described purpose only, several ratchet-less lugs 62 may be disposed about the neck as seen in FIG. 6. The bottom of the ratchet-less lugs 62 are at the same level as the bottom of the ratchet lugs 50. The top of the ratchet-less lugs 62 is at the same level or below the level of the depressions 58' so as to not interfere with the locking operation of the ratchet-lugs.
The ratchets 44 and 46 consist of a series of zig-zag or saw teeth 64. The highest point or projection 56 of any one tooth falls off sharply to connect to the lowest point or depression 58 of the adjacent tooth. The surface 72 connecting the projections and depressions of adjacent teeth are substantially parallel to the axis of the neck or cap while the surface 74 connecting the projection and depression of the same tooth is inclined to the axis.
Thus, when the closure 26 is threadedly fastened to the neck 20, the inclined surfaces 74 will permit overriding. However, disengagement of the closure and neck is prevented =by the parallel surfaces 72 and 72 coming in contact with each other. If exceptional force were exerted to force the disengagement of the closure and neck the completeness of their shape would be destroyed, a fact readily apparent upon visual inspection.
It should be understood that modifications may be made in the illustrated and described embodiments of my inveniton without departing from the invention as set forth in the accompanying claims.

BEWARE OF THE CONCIERGE!!!Posted Dec 14, 2014
Cons: Get rid of the concierge service....
The "concierge" service in this hotel is comparable to that of a hundred vultures trying to get the most out of road kill....! Concierge is supposedly another word for butler.... but these people are only courteous with you as long as they have you trapped in their web of deceit. This Hotel is part of one of the many "time-share" type deals under Holiday Royal... the only thing these concierge people are interested in is getting to entice customers into agreeing to show up to a presentation of Holiday Royal's time-share deals... they will promise it will only take 90mins of your time, but do not be fooled, it robbed us of 3hrs of our precious honeymoon time.... they promised us discounts on tours, which turned out to inapplicable.... in other words, a big FAT LIE... Our particular concierge had even shown us a list of discounted tour prices that he could get for us.... at the end, he told us the hotel prices were much too high, but he had a friend outside of the hotel that could score us with lower rates on these tours. Thankfully by then, my husband and I were starting to become distrustful, and decided not to search out this mystery friend of the concierge, but to buy from the hotel, using the discount voucher Holiday Royal provided us. When we went to book our tours, we ran into the very UNPLEASANT surprise that the tour prices the concierge had promised and shown us were all a big LIE.... then since he got in trouble with management, he had the guts to yell at us!!!!

Too many restrictionsPosted Dec 14, 2014
Supposed to be a kids friendly resort but beware as your kids will not be allowed in the speciality restaurants. We took our 2 yr old daughter with us only to realize we can't dine in with her and that their day care (open only until early evening) won't take kids less than 4 yrs. room service menu is limited so if you can't eat in speciality restaurants you're just eating sandwiches and soups.

Excluding time share and paid gym its greatPosted Dec 6, 2014
Overall great location and ameneties, strongly recommend avoiding their timeshare presentation, no matter how much they claim its different , its not....dont waste half of your precious day there. we stayed at the old building for first night and after seeing the new building decided to upgrade. The new tower is definitely much better, closer to the beach and includes a heated Jacuzzi tub. For three nights at this better room we had to shed additional usd 120. Food was overall great, the buffet was OK, La Concha and oriental and midori was better. Cocktail drinks were great, room service wasn't prompt. Overall great value for your money....beware all inclusive doesn't include gym.

Pros: Lots of staff were available to help you and keep the property in a pristine state.
Cons: Maybe another small "snack/lunch" venue at the other end of the complex, near the Italian restaurant.
Location: Trips were offered but we didn't do anything but relax at the beach. We were about 15 minutes from the airport.
We stayed at the Royal Towers part of the hotel and the room was amazing. We had a beautiful view of the beach and were close to all of the other parts of the hotel.

Kony 2012 Filmmaker Jason Russell's Wife Addresses His Flip Out
After Kony 2012 filmmaker Jason Russell's very public flip out and arrest on the streets of San Diego, his wife is now addressing his condition.
VIDEO: George Clooney, Just Back From Sudan, Testifies at Senate Hearing, Clarifies Joseph Kony Remarks
Danica Russell thanked supporters before describing what caused Jason's naked hysterics (which were captured on video by witnesses), which led to his arrest for public masturbation and vandalism.
"We would, again, like to make it clear that Jason's incident was in no way the result of drugs or alcohol in his body," Danica says in a statement according to Gawker.
"The preliminary diagnosis he received is called brief reactive psychosis, an acute state brought on by extreme exhaustion, stress and dehydration. Though new to us, the doctors say this is a common experience given the great mental, emotional and physical shock his body has gone through in these last two weeks."
VIDEO: New Video Surfaces of Kony 2012 Filmmaker Jason Russell's Nude Rant
The 30-minute video's cause on behalf of advocacy group Invisible Children calling for action against Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony and earned support from several celebrities including Zooey Deschanel, Busy Phillips, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Ben Affleck, Angelina Jolie and Olivia Wilde.
Yet soon after it gained public traction, the film came under scrutiny for possibly misleading viewers about the problem, advocating a possibly flawed solution and for alleged misuse of funds by Invisible Children.
"Even for us," Danica says of the emotional experience. "It's hard to understand the sudden transition from relative anonymity to worldwide attention - both raves and ridicules, in a matter of days."
VIDEO: George Clooney Arrested in Sudan Embassy Protest
She says that Jason will have a full recovery after receiving a "number of weeks" in a hospital's care, but says it may be months before he's well enough to resume his role with Invisible Children.
Danica ends her statement by encouraging supporters to "keep your attention turned to the end of Africa's longest running conflict, and setting a precedent for all future injustice" on her husband's behalf.

"reader is BORING"
I think this could be a good book, but I have tried to listen 3 times and get so lost in the boring, almost monotone reading that I can't get past an hour. I do not think I will try listening again (gifts is about the same)
I love Daniel Silva, but I really didn't enjoy this. I just couldn't get into it and had a hard time keeping all the characters straight. Maybe it was where my head was while I was listening, but I was glad when the book was over. I'll give it another try at a later date and maybe change my mind but for now, I don't put it in the same class as Silva's other books.

A new year is about to begin. While 2012 certainly had its good moments, it also had its share of bad and many people are ready for a fresh start. YNN's Carmella Mataloni checked in with businesses and shoppers to see what they hope to see in the New Year.
WATERTOWN, N.Y. -- Out with the old and in with the new.
With 2013 right around the corner, many are hoping to see the New Year start off on the right foot. Businesses are stocking their shelves and preparing for the rush of people coming out to buy their party supplies.
Greg Connell is the store manager of The Wine Seller in Watertown. He says that this holiday is a busy time for his store and that he and his family are looking forward to the New Year to celebrate a business milestone.
"It's going to be a big year. We just took over. It will be a year in February. It's been really fun and everything is going good so far so we are looking forward to the New Year," said Greg Connell, Wine Seller Manager.
Businesses that are throwing New Year celebrations are also happy to ring in the New Year. Watertown Mayor Jeff Graham owns Pearl Street Pub. His bar will be opened all night long. He says that while 2012 was a good year, he's anxious to see what 2013 will bring.
"I think people look forward to 2013 like they would any year. It's a year full of opportunities and hopefully some better times for folks. There's a lot of things we are excited to see across the state of New York," Mayor Jeff Graham.
People around town say in light of the tragedies of 2012 they are happy to see the year come to an end and hope that 2013 will be a much better year.
"Definitely looking forward to a fresh start and hopefully across the board it will be a pretty happy year for everyone," Meighan Mustizer, a Watertown resident.
"I hope everyone realizes that we need to crack down on some laws so none of this happens again and hope that we have a better year so we can start fresh," Nicole Morgia, a Watertown resident.
"Celebrate that we are starting new. That there is hope that things can get better and we can work to help people be better," said Mustizer.

Construction projects are the big news for Charlotte-area motorists, with two of the regions more popular thoroughfares closed Friday morning and another road to close Friday evening.
A portion of Providence Road in southeast Charlotte was closed about 9:30 a.m., so crews could begin installing a new sewer pipe. That closure is expected to continue until Monday morning.
A portion of Beatties Ford Road in northwest Mecklenburg County was closed about 9 a.m., so crews could begin work on a new bridge. That will be a longterm closure.
And Tom Hunter Road will be closed at North Tryon Street this weekend, beginning at 6 p.m. Friday, for work related to the extension of the light rail line.
Here are the details:
Providence Road ... All lanes of the road are closed near McAlpine Creek. The closure is expected to last until Monday morning, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg Utilities officials. A new sewer line will be installed over the weekend.
In effect, through traffic will be halted between the intersection of Rea and Alexander roads on the south, and Old Providence Road on the north. Motorists will be detoured onto Old Providence and Rea roads, or they can use Sardis Road as an alternate.
The N.C. Department of Transportation says about 38,000 motorists use that section of Providence Road every day.
Beatties Ford Road ... A section of the road over McIntyre Creek will be closed until about Sept. 17, for construction of a new bridge. This closure affects through traffic between Sunset Road and Lakeview Road.
The detour takes motorists on Sunset Road, Reames Road and Lakeview Road, back to Beatties Ford Road. The DOT says about 21,000 motorists use that portion of the road every day.
Tom Hunter Road ... The intersection with North Tryon Street will be closed from 6 p.m. Friday until 4 p.m. Monday, then again for the same hours next weekend. The closure will not affect through traffic on North Tryon Street.
Motorists trying to reach Tom Hunter Road will follow a detour, using Arrowhead Drive and Elgywood Lane.

New Jersey Governor Releases Privatization Report
Most interesting is the report's call for a centralized entity whose sole purpose is to promote competitive efficiency within state government.
The New Jersey Privatization Task Force has delivered its final report to Gov. Chris Christie -- and he's excited about what he's reading, calling it a path to a more efficient, cost-effective government. The report highlights more than $200 million in potential cost savings.
"In March, I asked the Privatization Task Force to develop a strategy that would reduce the size, scope and cost of state government," said Christie. "What they have provided is a path for change that will benefit New Jersey's taxpayers..."
The report recommended privatizing services in a wide variety of areas from highway maintenance to prison food services, from toll collection to vehicle inspection. It includes a brief overview of recent privatization efforts in New Jersey and other states. "There have been -- and continue to be -- numerous successful privatization successes in New Jersey," notes the report.
Senior leaders of the state Legislature criticized the report. "Certainly state government needs to operate in a more cost-effective way, but our history with privatization is dotted with instances where we've had to go back and spend more just to clean up mistakes," New Jersey Senate President Stephen Sweeney told the Newark Star-Ledger. "We cannot rush into privatizing just for privatization's sake." Historically, public employee unions have been ardent opponents of privatization.
Most interesting is the report's call for a centralized entity whose sole purpose is to promote competitive efficiency within New Jersey's state government:
States that have had the most success in privatization created a permanent, centralized entity to manage both privatization and related policies aimed at increasing government efficiency. Such an entity can constantly evaluate agency performance, and implement and oversee privatization initiatives in a consistent way across state government. New Jersey would be well served by an entity whose mission is to seek government efficiency and create competition for service delivery. It should assist government agencies in developing a "business case," for any proposed privatization...
According to the Task Force report, successful privatization requires appropriate management structures and suitable policies to ensure best practices are followed. Time will tell how many of the report's recommendations Christie will be willing and able to follow through on.

The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) lauded Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and David Vitter (R-La.), chairman and ranking member, respectively, of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, for their leadership in advancing S. 601, the Water Resources Development Act of 2013 (WRDA), through the Senate. The legislation was passed by a vote of 83-14.
"AAPA commends Senators Boxer and Vitter on their leadership in advancing this legislation to spur vitally needed maintenance and improvements in America's seaport related infrastructure and waterways," stated AAPA President and CEO Kurt Nagle.
"Senators Boxer and Vitter recognize the significant benefits more modern, efficient seaport and waterway infrastructure will have on our nation's economic vitality, job growth and international competitiveness, as well as its value in helping address federal fiscal realities through sizable tax revenues provided by the cargo and trade activity moving through these systems," Mr. Nagle said. "Increased investments are needed to better maintain and improve the transportation infrastructure on our three coasts and the Great Lakes, linking America to the global marketplace."
He added, "America's public ports and their private sector partners plan to invest over $46 billion in seaport infrastructure in the next five years. We need the federal government to uphold its end of the partnership, including badly needed improvements to the land- and water-side connections to seaports."
Adolph Ojard, AAPA chairman of the United States delegation and executive director of the Duluth Seaway Port Authority, said WRDA is a timely opportunity to address key federal policy issues of major importance to U.S. seaports and the nation. "As the federal government looks to resolve its budget and deficit challenges, it's imperative to focus scarce federal resources in those areas that can have the greatest impact," said Chairman Ojard. "Investments in seaports are an essential, effective utilization of limited federal resources, paying dividends through both immediate and long-term sustainable job creation, economic growth, tax revenues, and enhanced international competitiveness."
Seaports and the cargo activity they handle are vital components of the national economy. More than 99 percent of overseas trade moves through America's seaports and more than a quarter of U.S. GDP is accounted for by international trade. Furthermore, cargo moving through America's seaports is responsible for more than 13 million U.S. jobs and seaport activity generates in excess of $200 billion annually in federal, state and local tax revenues.
A recent study by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) found that under current budget trends, less than half of the needed investments in seaports and waterways would be made by the year 2020. In just seven years, this "failure to act" would cost the U.S economy almost $700 billion in lost GDP, $270 billion in lost U.S. exports, additional costs to each household of $770 a year, and 738,000 lost jobs.
To address one of the key components of the WRDA – collection and use of the federal Harbor Maintenance Tax (HMT) – AAPA's U.S. Legislative Policy Council has adopted six guiding principles. The principles include guaranteeing full use of HMT annual revenues; ensuring that funding from HMT revenues first should be used for historical intended purposes; providing more equity for HMT donors; assuring that U.S. tax policy not disadvantage U.S. ports and maritime cargo; ensuring a process to efficiently study and construct deep draft navigation projects; and, modernizing the cost-share formula for dredging federal navigation channels.
"With the recent floor action on Senate Bill 601, AAPA and our members are in the process of reviewing the details of the legislation, as amended, and we will be able to more fully address the specifics provisions of the bill in the near future," said Mr. Nagle. "We look forward to working with the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee as it develops its WRDA legislation toward the goal of successful passage and enactment of legislation addressing the infrastructure needs of seaports throughout the United States."

OWC offers 480 GB SSD for 2010 MacBook Air
If you want to give your 2010 MacBook Air a competitive edge with the largest solid state drive available for your notebook, then check out the Mercury Aura Pro Express line from Other World Computing (OWC). The third-party SSD is available in 180, 240, 360 and 480 GB capacities and fits both the 11.6-inch and 13.3-inch Air models that debuted in late 2010.

I am really struggling with Avon but I really want it to work. It would be a huge help if I could make a little money. I am struggling finding new customers and I can't keep relying on my family and friends to buy stuff. I was considering doing a Mani/Pedi party and hoping to book a few parties which would broaden my customer list. I am not the type of person who can stand up in front of others and talk. I lack those skills. lol. I think I could do the mani/pedi party tho. I am really afraid of investing the money to do the parties only for it not to work and no one show up like my open house. So my question for you is would you go to a mani/pedi party? WOuld you guys have other suggestions? I have handed out catalogs but they cost me money as well only for them to be thrown away. At least this way I would have a better chance of expanding.
Thanks guys I appreciate your suggestions.

How about printing off some business cards and placing them around like on grocery store or restaurant bulletin boards.
|Thu, 04-01-2010 - 8:40am
I have been putting up my card and handing it out. I don't have to do parties but it would be the easiest way to reach a new customer base. I don't plan on doing them forever just to get my start.
We also wouldn't be using the "tools" Although Avon sells them it would be to much of a liability for me. Instead we would do the foot soak, lotions, nail polish and I would have embry boards. For hands we would do the wax thing, lotions, cuticle cream and nail polish. If the person wanted to purchase the other items to be able to do home mani/pedis they could. This is mostly to show how to do mani/pedi at home and how buy the products could save them over going to a salon/spa. Of course it is my understanding that some people enjoying having others touch their feet. lol. I am not one of those people.

Newsmaker: The coming crackdown on bloggingSee all Newsmakers
In just a few months, he warns, bloggers and news organizations could risk the wrath of the federal government if they improperly link to a campaign's Web site. Even forwarding a political candidate's press release to a mailing list, depending on the details, could be punished by fines.
Smith should know. He's one of the six commissioners at the Federal Election Commission, which is beginning the perilous process of extending a controversial 2002 campaign finance law to the Internet.
In 2002, the FEC exempted the Internet by a 4-2 vote, but U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly last fall overturned that decision. "The commission's exclusion of Internet communications from the coordinated communications regulation severely undermines" the campaign finance law's purposes, Kollar-Kotelly wrote.
Smith and the other two Republican commissioners wanted to appeal the Internet-related sections. But because they couldn't get the three Democrats to go along with them, what Smith describes as a "bizarre" regulatory process now is under way.
CNET News.com spoke with Smith about the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, better known as the McCain-Feingold law, and its forthcoming extrusion onto the Internet.
Q: What rules will apply to the Internet that did not before?
A: The commission has generally been hands-off on the Internet. We've said, "If you advertise on the Internet, that's an expenditure of money--much like if you were advertising on television or the newspaper."
The real question is: Would a link to a candidate's page be a problem? If someone sets up a home page and links to their favorite politician, is that a contribution? This is a big deal, if someone has already contributed the legal maximum, or if they're at the disclosure threshold and additional expenditures have to be disclosed under federal law.
Certainly a lot of bloggers are very much out front. Do we give bloggers the press exemption? If we don't give bloggers the press exemption, we have the question of, do we extend this to online-only journals like CNET?
How can the government place a value on a blog that praises some politician?
How do we measure that? Design fees, that sort of thing? The FEC did an advisory opinion in the late 1990s (in the Leo Smith case) that I don't think we'd hold to today, saying that if you owned a computer, you'd have to calculate what percentage of the computer cost and electricity went to political advocacy.
It seems absurd, but that's what the commission did. And that's the direction Judge Kollar-Kotelly would have us move in. Line drawing is going to be an inherently very difficult task. And then we'll be pushed to go further. Why can this person do it, but not that person?
How about a hyperlink? Is it worth a penny, or a dollar, to a campaign?
I don't know. But I'll tell you this. One thing the commission has argued over, debated, wrestled with, is how to value assistance to a campaign.
Corporations aren't allowed to donate to campaigns. Suppose a corporation devotes 20 minutes of a secretary's time and $30 in postage to sending out letters for an executive. As a result, the campaign raises $35,000. Do we value the violation on the amount of corporate resources actually spent, maybe $40, or the $35,000 actually raised? The commission has usually taken the view that we value it by the amount raised. It's still going to be difficult to value the link, but the value of the link will go up very quickly.
Then what's the real impact of the judge's decision?
The judge's decision is in no way limited to ads. She says that any coordinated activity over the Internet would need to be regulated, as a minimum. The problem with coordinated activity over the Internet is that it will strike, as a minimum, Internet reporting services.
They're exempt from regulation only because of the press exemption. But people have been arguing that the Internet doesn't fit

- False conclusions. We're talking major crap here.
- The line, "Bradley Smith says that the freewheeling days of political blogging and online punditry are over.", is just plain garbage. Just because bloggers may someday not be free to link to a candidate's website doesn't mean they will be censored.

- This doesn't make sense to me
- Far be it for me to get into a political debate, but how is linking to a campaign web site different from volunteering to work for that campaign?
It seems to me that there are millions of people who volunteer to work for a campaign in every election, big and small. How does that relate to donating money to a campaign?
If I volunteer to work for a campaign, does that mean I can't contribute the maximum amount of money as well?

- Declan's partisanship showing again
- You're right... The FEC isn't regulating the Internet, nor is it regulating private bloggers, or folks who state their opinion, or even folks who state their opinion and choose to link to campaign sites. The issue is campaign expenditure that really does seem to be under the party's control, or that effectively constitutes a donation that crosses the campaign limit. If a major contributor puts up a web site (say, let's call it "GOPUSA" or "Talon News") that largely republishes party press releases, then perhaps it is a campaign expenditure.

- Don't let 'em!!
- If it does actually go as far as bloggers being prevented from linking to a campaign website, then it's simply up to us citizens of this free country to speak up loudly enough to reverse the decision. If this type of censorship takes place and stays in place, then we have only ourselves to blame for being weak, submissive wimps who allow our freedoms to be chipped away little by little.
It's been a problem ever since the establishment of this great nation of ours. Our founding fathers battled it out among themselves, with those on one side fighting for very little government and those on the other side vying for more government. It's the same battleground today, but it sure seems that those who want to control and regulate us to submission are winning their battles through the judges who sit on federal courts. Come on Americans! Don't let 'em!!

- Complete insanity...
- I imagine that somebody standing on a street corner with a sign is contributing at a rate at least equal to the minimum wage and probably more like whatever they actually make per hour. I find it deeply disturbing that they are so concerned about an unregulated internet. Why not regulate the content of phone calls too? I pray that the priciples behind free speech haven't decayed to the point that draconian nonsense like this can actually be considered.

- Next will be word of mouth contribution limitations.
Report your neighbor who is in advertising for trying to convince to vote for his/her candidate, illegally.
Guerrilla marketing by an industry insider is actually a service contribution to the candidate's campaign.
At the very least, all neighbors (friends and family, too) must be forced to preface all political statements or participation in discussions or conservations with a disclosure statement that identifies their party registration, cash contributions, and whether their expenditure of hot air has been 'approved by the candidate' they are about to support.
Only seems fair.

- not that my political principals agree in any way with the article; much less the ludicrousness of what the is said by the interviewee. but, if this censorship (that's the only word that fits) became reality and could be extrapolated to all those ridiculous political e-mails i received the last few years, that might be a good thing. they're much worse than traditional spam. most folks are smart enough to ignore that. but those political e-mails had plenty of folks forwarding them around as if they were the gospel truth.

OK, not really. But I could totally imagine something like that going on.

- The correct way to take care of this
- If it does become illegal to link to a political campaign website, there is only one answer. The electronic equivelent of civil disobedience. Everyone get a free Geocities or Anglefire or whatever site, and link to your favorite campaign. When they have arrested the entire populace, then maybe they will notice that the fist amendment might have something to do with this. It was specifically to protect political speech. When the govenment oversteps its bounds, it is time for the people to step up and violate the unconstitutional law. However, be ready to take the hit. Remember that standing up is of no value unless you are willing to take the punishment, because the inappropriateness of the punishment is part of the deal. I have no links to any political groups on my site, because I am in IT, and that is what my site is about, however, if it becomes illegal, I just may.
What is next? Taking a stand on an issue that obviously supports what one candidate believes over another? The thought police cannot be allowed to take over, but a lot of people are going to have to take some undeserved punishment before the majority are going to take notice.

- FEC Commissioners' affiliations
- According to the FEC website, McDonald is the only up-front Democrat. He's from Oklahoma, a Reagan appointee and probably a conservative. Two present themselves as nonpartisan. Of the other three, one is a former Republican National Committee staffer, one is a homeschooler from Lynchburg, VA who probably is a buddy of Jerry Falwell, and the third likes the libertarian Cato Institute and the Federalist Society (a rightwing lawyers organization). This doesn't look like a politically balanced commission to me.

We allow volunteers to carry signs and yet we
don't calculate the cost of their shoes or the
clothes they wear. Perhaps we should take the
time they volunteer and calculate the percentage
and cost of the average meal so we can count
that too. We don't keep track of the gas they
use to get to the location, nor the expense
induced on their car.
So why would we bother with some obfuscated
percentage of the cost of a computer or their
Internet connection fees? Blog-sites are free
to the average Joe, so why would be care about
those costs?
But let's continue with the screwed up "money
earned" theme. I increase my income through
advertising my business. Sometimes it's done by
posting to email lists, other times by
word-of-mouth, and occasionally taking clients
out to lunch/dinner, or (heaven-forbid) purchase
ad space somewhere. I am in the habit of
writing off the expenses I incur from doing so.
Most of the advertising methods incur nearly
zero cost, while others cost moderately (I'm not
a big corporation so I have to be frugal).
I like the extension of this last bit of
thinking, because rather than adding up the cost
of doing what I've done, let's add up the money
*earned* from what I've done! That accounts for
all income throughout the year, so I pay no
taxes. I'm in! Where do I sign?
