Both scholars concluded that the proposed law could not pass muster under the U.S. Constitution. So you’d think that the new version of SOPA circulated this week would have resolved those concerns. You’d think wrong. While the revised SOPA briefly mentions the First Amendment, the substantive text makes clear that's just lip service. Here’s a selection of fundamental flaws that remain in both SOPA and PIPA: http://www.freeturbine.com/index.php/news/recent-politic/item/the-internet-blacklist-vs-the-constitutionBoth scholars concluded that the proposed law could not pass muster under the U.S.... more

Dear :
Thank you for writing to me in support of efforts to restore the environment and economies of the Gulf Coast following last year's disastrous oil spill. I am committed to helping the Gulf region recover, and I appreciate hearing from you on this important matter.
I led a bipartisan effort along with Senators Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Richard Shelby (R-AL) to develop legislation that dedicates Clean Water Act fines to restore the Gulf Coast. The bill was introduced as S.1400, the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies (RESTORE) of the Gulf Coast States Act, on July 21, 2011. This bipartisan bill would restore the natural resources, economy, and coastal environment of the Gulf region.
As recommended by the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, S.1400 would dedicate at least 80 percent of BP penalties to the Gulf states to invest in the recovery and health of their coastal ecosystem and economies. Under the Clean Water Act, BP could be fined billions of dollars as the party responsible for the spill, and it is only right that these penalties be immediately directed to the Gulf Coast's recovery efforts.
The BP oil spill exacerbated long-standing problems faced by the Gulf Coast ecosystem, harming the Gulf Coast's natural resources - including fragile wetlands and wildlife habitat - and debilitating the region's tourism, fisheries, and other crucial industries. I believe it is our responsibility to provide support to the communities of the Gulf Coast and ensure they have the resources they need to rebuild their coastline.
The RESTORE the Gulf Coast States Act has been referred to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW). As Chairman of EPW, I will work with my colleagues to enact this vital legislation as soon as possible.
Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me about this important issue. Please feel free to write to me again about this or any other issue of concern to you.
Sincerely,
Barbara Boxer
United States Senator

The experiment on mice is said to be a process into preventing/slowing major health problems in the elderly like heart disease, strokes and dementia, but Gawker had a great shorten version 'eternal life, dun dun dunn'.
By removing the enzyme telomerase in mice the scientists hoped to slow the ageing process, but found they had reversed it when the aged organs were restored.
"n a nutshell, the scientists bred a group of mice without an enzyme called telomerase, which helps prevent protective chromosome "caps" called telomeres from shrinking—a shortening that is closely linked with the degenerative properties of aging. Without telomerase, the mice aged rapidly; but when the enzyme was reactivated in those same mice, it "substantially" restored their bodies—including growing new neurons."-Gawker
However, the articles show doubts over if the experiment would have the same results on human cells, with Gawker saying it would raise the risk of cancer. So guessing we're now going to be over run with immoral mice overlords...omg Douglas Adams was right.The experiment on mice is said to be a process into preventing/slowing major health... more
