Welcome to the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery (ORL-HNS) at Heidelberg University Hospital
A team of highly qualified physicians and nurses will care for you in our medical center using the most modern equipment. We offer the full range of conservative and innovative therapies (e.g. different endoscopic laser techniques) as well as (micro-) surgical procedures specific to ENT treatment. One of our main areas of concentration is the treatment of tumors in the head and neck. Close cooperation with specialists in other areas affiliated with the National Center for Tumor Diseases (NCT), as well as with scientists from the German Cancer Research Center, ensures individualized, state-of-the-art treatment design.
Our department embodies the modern concept of a comprehensive head center ("Head Hospital"), combining all of the disciplines connected to the organ systems within the head and neck. This ensures the ideal conditions for the interdisciplinary care of our patients.
The department manages four operating rooms equipped with the most modern surgical microscopes, digital endoscopes, and video technology, including specialized equipment such as a modern neuro-navigation system, neuromonitoring, and a computed tomography scanner for examinations undertaken during surgery. Our outpatient department includes seven fully equipped examination rooms as well as an outpatient operating room. Our inpatients are accommodated in 39 welcoming single and double rooms with en-suite bathrooms.
Every year, we treat more than 300 new patients with malignant tumors in the head and neck area and perform more than 250 large tumor resections, including plastic and reconstructive surgery with free flaps to improve quality of life for the patient. In addition, 70 tumor resections on an outpatient basis are being performed annually. The average duration of hospital stay is 4.4 days. In our postoperative tumor care, we treat over 1,300 patients annually, including follow-up examinations using ultrasound, CT, MRI, and if necessary PET-CT.
We specialize in the treatment of malignant tumors in the following regions:
- salivary glands
- skull base
- malignant skin tumors (face and neck)
- the nasal cavity and sinuses
- oral cavity and pharynx
- in the throat (hypopharynx) and upper esophagus,
- voice box (larynx),
- ear and lateral skull base
Beside the tumor resection we are focusing on the functional rehabilitation with plastic and reconstructive techniques, with epitheses and most modern electronic devices.
My team and I are committed to doing everything possible to restore your health.

Overall the CBOT markets closed lower with wheat as the exception. December corn finished the day 5 ¼ cents lower at $7.36 ¾, December wheat up 5 ½ cents at $8.69 ¾, and November soybeans down 26 ¾ cents at $15.23 ¼.
This marks a new low settlement for soybeans (for the move) as the market gears up for higher production estimates on tomorrow's WASDE report. The report will be released at 7:30 am CST. As a reminder both the pit and electronic markets are open during this time.
On average market analysts are calling for corn production to decrease to 10.601 billion bushels (September WASDE was 10.727 billion). They are guessing that yield will stay steady at 122.884 but the overall harvested acres will decline by over a million acres. What I believe is especially concerning about the estimates is how wide the range is. The lowest yield estimate is 120 and the highest is 127. The lowest production estimate for corn is 9.960 while the highest is 11.194. That's a difference of 1.234 billion bushels of corn! The especially large range may translate into high volatility… obviously someone's guess has to be rather far from reality.
The October report will be especially important this year due to the record harvest pace. Harvest pace surpassed 50% before October 1st which will hopefully lead to a greater degree of accuracy from the USDA (at least perceived accuracy). I have included the report estimates based on the Reuter's survey in the chart below. We want to stay in sustainable hedges through harvest.

The average price for Fall Crop Insurance Re-adjustment has now set 8 of the 23 closes and is currently at $7.49 ¾ for corn and $15.43 ¾ for soybeans.

WOTR: Thoughts on Presidents Day
Writers on the Range
Abraham Lincoln was among my earliest heroes as a kid. I grew up in Illinois, a state that inculcated a love of the 16th president from the first days of school. My hometown was the site of one of the most famous of his pre-presidential debates with Stephen Douglas, and I often ate an ice cream cone at the little soda shop located just a few feet from where Lincoln stood during that long ago-exchange of rhetoric. So imbued was I with regard for Lincoln that when I first was told, on the playground at school, about how men and women came together to make babies, my first thought was, "Oh, that's impossible; Abe Lincoln would never do that."
Then and now, I knew I never could be so great a man as Lincoln. I was a shy and skinny kid, with innumerable self-doubts and insecurities. Still, though I knew early that I had little chance of turning out to be another Lincoln, I figured I would turn out better than some of the other, lesser-known presidents, though I had not a figment of a reason for such an easy assumption.
I surely thought I'd become a better man than James K. Polk, or the doomed William Henry Harrison, who died a mere month after taking office, speaking too long at his own inaugural, hatless in bad weather, and thus contracting the illness that ended any hopes he had to become a great leader.
Presidents were always on my mind. If you ran in one direction, the streets in my town were named after trees. Run in the other direction, and the streets were named for presidents, many of them mostly forgotten by most Americans in the generations that followed mine, when the memory of those men was chipped away from school curricula to make room for new facets of our national history. But for boys like me, those past presidents served as role models.
My sister still lives on McKinley Street, named for one of those dead presidents, shot down at the beginning of the 20th century in a pattern that has punctuated our history. James Garfield was another such victim of a crazy person with a gun, an assassin who had lived for a time in the very town where I was born and spent my childhood dreaming of men from times gone by.
I recently read a book about Garfield and his assassin called "The Destiny of the Republic," written by Candice Millard. I read the book not out of any particular interest in James Garfield or his murderer, but because I'd liked her previous book in which she retold the tale of Theodore Roosevelt's post-presidential adventures on the Amazon River and its tributaries, a trip that almost killed him.
The man who shot Garfield was named Charles Guiteau. Most history texts pass over him with the description "disappointed office seeker," but the story is richer than that. Guiteau lived most of his life in a fog of delusion. He shot Garfield with a .44 caliber pistol in the belief that he was saving the Republic. You don't have to spend much time online these days to find men posting similarly delusional ideas about themselves and making threats against our president.
In addition to keeping me turning pages, Ms. Millard's book also informed me that President James Garfield was, like a couple of other assassinated U.S. leaders, a man worthy of admiration. Like Lincoln, Garfield was a deeply moral man, a crusader for the rights of the newly emancipated slaves, a loving father and husband, a man of conviction, principle and unwavering decency. Like Lincoln, he rose to the heights out of abject poverty.
If more kids knew these stories of challenge and courage, we might be a better nation than the one we currently live in, where kids are encouraged to admire tainted sports figures like Lance Armstrong and Tiger Woods, or callow celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan.
Few of us are destined to achieve the greatness of Lincoln. Few of us are as good, as brave, and even as thoughtful of other people as the lesser-known James Garfield. But it's important we remember people like them, not just out of respect for what they did, but for the model they offer of what any of us might aspire to become.

Tech Update
Medical-Products Metalformer Brings Screen Printing Inhouse
Forming surgical trays and screening printing of exacting, durable graphics is the specialty of Medicraft, Inc., Elmwood Park, NJ, and meeting the rigorous demands of medical applications has become its forte. The firm manufactures medical delivery systems from aluminum, stainless steel and plastic, and screen prints graphics onto the trays. Among its core competencies: metal stamping, CNC milling and turning, welding and assembly. And now, screen printing.
"We mostly print part numbers and descriptions, but also some graphic images, so our clients can account for every instrument on a surgical tray," explains David Seiz, Medicraft's managing art director. "Adhesion is extremely important, as is the quality, consistency and legibility of the graphic image."
The company outsourced its screen printing for many years, but recently established an inhouse screen-printing department to improve its quality-assurance process. "We now screen print about one-third of our trays inhouse, and expect that to increase significantly," says Seiz.
Seiz conducted a significant amount of research before committing to the firm's new screen-printing system, a pair of Vastex (Allentown, PA) 2000HD one-color tabletop printing presses coupled to a Vastex EconoRed 30 infrared dryer to cure the ink. The industrial-grade machines matched Medicraft's requirements for fast setup time, fine registration accuracy and high productivity.
"Every surgical tray that we screen print is evaluated by an elaborate quality-control system, and would be rejected if not perfect, but the equipment meets our standards," says Seiz.Vastex International, Inc.: 610/434-6004; www.vastex.com

Who knew? A round up of fact-checks that proved true
PolitiFact attempts to parse political truth from political fiction.
We find plenty of fiction. But it's important to remember that PolitiFact Georgia also discovers that politicians and power brokers sometimes hit the nail squarely on the head.
PolitiFact Georgia published more than 240 fact checks in 2013,and 37 of those rated True on the AJC Truth-O-Meter. That compared with 26 that were rated False and 17 that earned our lowest designation, Pants On Fire. The remainder fell in the Mostly True, Half True and Mostly False categories.
Today we look at our favorite fact checks of 2013 where the politicians got it right.
To comment on our rulings or suggest one of your own, go to our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/politifact.georgia).

BEA in the 1940s
Ed. Note: This post is part of a series following the release of the 1940 Census highlighting various Commerce agencies and their hard work on behalf of the American people during the 1940s through today.
As the U.S. population has changed dramatically since 1940, so too has the U.S. economy. Just a few years prior to the 1940 Census, in 1935, employees of the Department of Commerce and the National Bureau of Economic Research created what we call the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA), a comprehensive set of economic accounts for the nation that provides unparalleled insight into the workings of our economy.
Let's take a quick glance at the NIPAs and see how things have changed over the last 72 years. One commonly used measure of standards of living is GDP per capita—the total output of the nation divided by the population. Looking to national accounts table 7.1, we see that in 1940 U.S. GDP per capita was $8,824 in inflation-adjusted dollars. By 2011, it had increased nearly fivefold to $42,671. Over that period, the structure of the economy changed with services accounting for an ever increasing for spending. In 1940, consumer spending on services (everything from haircuts to heart surgery), according to NIPA table 1.1.10 accounted for 30 percent of GDP. By 2011, it was 47 percent—nearly half of economic activity.

I still agree w/ Roger Ebert's review. They ended it like a greek tragedy, nothing came out of it that wasn't already happening. One of my favorite books is My Sister's Keeper, and it does end in tragedy, but something very good comes out of it.
"Remember Me" tells a sweet enough love story, and tries to invest it with profound meaning by linking it to a coincidence. It doesn't work that way. People meet, maybe they fall in love, maybe they don't, maybe they're happy, maybe they're sad. That's life. If, let us say, a refrigerator falls out of a window and squishes one of them, that's life, too, but it's not a story many people want to see. We stand there looking at the blood seeping out from under the Kelvinator and ask with Peggy Lee, is that all there is?
If we invest in a film's characters, what happens to them should be intrinsically important to us. We don't require emotional reinforcement to be brought in from outside. The movie tries to borrow profound meaning, but succeeds only in upstaging itself so overwhelmingly that its characters become irrelevant.

Kalley Armstrong picked up three assists against Cornell Saturday afternoon (Gil Talbot).
ITHACA, N.Y. – Two early goals by the Big Red set the tone for the contest as the 10th-ranked Harvard women's hockey team dropped its first game of the season, 5-3 to No. 2/2 Cornell, Saturday afternoon at Lynah Rink. Harvard slips to 3-1-0 with the loss while its Ivy rival improves to 5-1-0, 4-1-0 ECAC on the season.
Penalties bit the Crimson twice early on, leading to two Cornell goals through the first eight minutes of play. Jillian Saulnier got the Big Red on the board 5:55 into the game with a power-play goal off feeds from Alyssa Gagliardi and Chelsea Karpenko. Less than two minutes later, Karpenko added a power-play marker of her own, converting passes from Catherine White and Gagliardi.
Harvard was able to muster an answer before the close of the first period, getting on the board with 4:43 showing on the clock. Rookie Sarah Edney notched her first collegiate goal, with Kalley Armstrong and freshman Hillary Crowe assisting on the play. Crowe's assist represented her first collegiate point as Harvard closed the first stanza down, 2-1.
White and Gagliardi combined for Cornell's third goal just past the halfway point of the second, extending the hosts' lead back to two goals at the 10:23 mark. The Crimson showed its power-play prowess 3:38 later as Crowe collected her first collegiate goal off a pass from Armstrong, who picked up her second helper of the night. Harvard held a slight, 7-6, shots advantage in the middle frame, but entered the second intermission staring at a 3-2 deficit.
Cornell came out firing to start the third, but Harvard goalie Laura Bellamy kept the Crimson in the game through the first 10 minutes of the third. With 7:23 to play in the game, the Crimson found the equalizer as Armstrong collected her third assist of the game, feeding Kaitlin Spurling on the game-tying goal at 12:37. Saulnier had a swift response, however, poking home an unassisted goal just eight seconds later and Emily Fulton added the insurance with an unassisted tally at 14:14 to cap the 5-3 final.
Armstrong's three assists were the highlight of the night for the Crimson, while Crowe finished with two points on a goal and an assist. Bellamy collected a season-high 31 saves in the loss.
The Crimson is back in action Nov. 18 as it welcomes Clarkson to Bright Hockey Center for its home opener. The opening faceoff is slated for 7 p.m.

NEW ORLEANS — An oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico caught fire on Thursday morning, forcing its 13 crew members overboard and sending waves of anxiety along a coast that has just begun to recover from the Deepwater Horizon disaster.
By early evening, the workers had been rescued with no serious injuries reported and the fire had been put out. Coast Guard officials said that no oil could be seen on the water near the platform, contradicting an earlier report.
In another year, the blaze may not have garnered much attention; it might have been seen as one of the scores of fires and explosions that occur on offshore platforms in the gulf every year. But coming so soon after the explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig in April, which killed 11 workers and set off the largest marine oil spill in American history, it took on much larger significance.
Environmental groups quickly issued news releases, arguing that the fire proved the wisdom of the current federal moratorium on deepwater offshore drilling (though the platform was not drilling, nor was it in deep water).
Officials from Mariner Energy, which owns the well, will now take their turn answering to Congress, following in the well-worn footsteps of executives of BP and Transocean, which operated the Deepwater Horizon.
The three ranking House Democrats in the energy field — Henry A. Waxman of California, the chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee; Bart Stupak of Michigan, the chairman of the Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee; and Edward J. Markey of Massachusetts, the chairman of the Energy and Environment Subcommittee — sent a letter on Thursday to Scott D. Josey, the chairman and chief executive of Mariner Energy, requesting a briefing by next Friday.
Officials from Mariner, echoed by others in the industry, took pains to note the differences between this fire and the explosion that sank the Deepwater Horizon.
"There was no blowout, no explosion, no injuries, no spill," said Patrick Cassidy, the director of investor relations for Mariner Energy, a relatively small oil and gas company in Houston with 330 employees and about $1 billion in annual revenues.
Mariner, which plans to merge with a subsidiary of the Apache Corporation, holds oil and gas interests around the Gulf Coast area, as well as in Arkansas, New Mexico, North Dakota and Wyoming.
But 85 percent of its production comes from offshore in the gulf.
The platform that caught fire is about 14 years old, and is located in a section of the gulf known as Vermilion Block 380.
It has four columns standing on the seafloor at a depth of 320 feet, and seven oil-producing wells are connected to it. Its production, averaging 9.2 million cubic feet of natural gas and 1,400 barrels of oil daily, is much less than that of platforms now being built in far deeper waters of the gulf.
The fire broke out just after sunrise in the living quarters, as the crew was painting and cleaning the platform, Mr. Cassidy said. He said the company was investigating the cause but did not yet have any answers.
"It doesn't appear to be related to the wells," Mr. Cassidy said. "And it doesn't appear that there was any release of oil."
He said that automatic shut-off equipment on the platform sealed off the oil and gas wells before the fire had occurred and that the crew had abandoned the platform. But he could not explain why the equipment had been activated.
At 9:19 a.m., the Coast Guard received a call from a nearby platform saying that the Mariner Energy platform was engulfed in flames, Capt. Peter Troedsson, the chief of staff for the Coast Guard's Eighth District, said at an afternoon news conference.
The 13 workers who had been aboard were spotted from a helicopter, huddled together and floating in protective suits about a mile from the platform.
Gov. Bobby Jindal of Louisiana visited a hospital where the workers had been taken. In a statement, he said two of them told him that one of workers could not get a life jacket because it was too close the fire.
"Some of the workers held one of the men up in the water, which is probably why one worker was thought to be injured when seen from far away," Mr. Jindal said.
An offshore supply vessel called the Crystal Clear, which was at a nearby oil platform, picked the crew members up and took them to the nearest platform. They were taken to land by helicopter later in the day.
The Coast Guard sent seven helicopters and six vessels to the scene. Earlier in the day, a response vessel had reported an oil sheen one mile long and 100 feet wide. But Captain Troedsson said that Coast Guard responders at the site could not see any sheen.
Responders working for Mariner were studying the wells attached to the platform to see if there were any leaks, but for now they appeared to have been closed off, he said.
"The company monitors each of these wells, and their data showed there's no flow," Captain Troedsson said. Similar assurances were made after the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon — in that case, they proved to be wrong.
By midafternoon, Captain Troedsson said, the fire aboard the platform had been put out.
Federal records show that there have been at least four accidents at that platform in the past decade. At least one of them led to a serious injury, and another led to a hospitalization.
Mariner Energy itself has been forced to pay at least $85,000 in civil penalties for safety violations over the same period, including in two instances last year.
The fire reinvigorated the debate about the federal moratorium on deepwater offshore drilling, which has been fiercely criticized by industry officials and residents of coastal states.
The moratorium is currently scheduled to expire on Nov. 30. But Michael R. Bromwich, the director of the Interior Department's Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement, is reviewing safety policies and records of deepwater drilling companies to determine whether the suspension could be modified or lifted sooner.
An Interior Department spokeswoman said that the Nov. 30 date had not been revised, in light of Thursday's accident.
The three most recent drilling approvals for the Vermilion Block 380, the area where Thursday's fire occurred, were approved by federal regulators in 1999 and 2000, using categorical exclusions, according to federal mining records.
Categorical exclusions are waivers that allow companies to proceed with drilling without having to undergo an in-depth environmental review.
This is the same type of waiver that was granted for the BP Deepwater Horizon project. Since the explosion on that rig, the use of categorical exclusions has come under attack as a prime example of lax regulatory oversight of the oil and gas industry.
In August, The Department of Interior, decided that the use of categorical exclusions would be halted for deepwater drilling but would continue to be allowed for shallow-water operations.
Jacqueline Savitz, a senior scientist at the environmental advocacy group Oceana, said that the accident showed that the government needs to keep the moratorium in place for new offshore drilling to ensure the safety of rig workers and marine ecosystems.
"It's another reminder that drilling accidents happen all too frequently," she said.
But industry officials said the fire had nothing to do with the issues being addressed in the moratorium.
The Shallow Water Energy Security Coalition, an industry group of several gulf operators, pointed out that there are many differences — in equipment and relative risks — between shallow-water production platforms and deepwater drillers.
"It is so unrelated to anything involved in the moratorium," said Lee Hunt, the chief executive of the International Association of Drilling Contractors. "These platforms are regulated under a whole different set of standards."

As part of our monthly series of recommended recordings from the Royal Opera House Shop, this month we take a look at releases from three great artists.
Jonas Kaufmann – The Verdi Album (Sony)
Jonas Kaufmann astonished with his all-Wagner recital earlier in the year. He follows it now with his Verdi Album, his first release on Sony. Some of the repertoire is not an easy fit – don't expect to see Kaufmann tackle the too-lyric Riccardo in Un ballo in maschera any time soon – but when the role is right, Kaufmann is unbeatable. The thirteen selections here cover both familiar and less well known Verdi arias, and it is evident that the tenor has thought each through from both a dramatic and a musical standpoint. This is visceral and virile singing, never more so than in his two selections from Otello: a role debut we can only hope is not far distant. Listen to Jonas Kaufmann's Verdi Album on Spotify.
Plácido Domingo – Verdi (Sony)
In an ironic nod to a natural succession, Sony have released Placido Domingo's new all-Verdi album at the same time as the Kaufmann disc. The great tenor is now singing the baritone repertoire, and this disc is a rich sampler of his stage roles of this voice type plus others he may never attempt. His voice is no longer able to sustain long lines and sometimes colours can't quite manifest; but - and it's a big but - this is quintessential Verdi singing from a master of his art. The deficiencies of age pale, and what remains is a blazing celebration of Verdi singing that breathes with an innate understanding of style and identification. A great recording all told, and not one I expected to deliver quite so eloquently. Listen to Plàcido Domingo's Verdi on Spotify.
Susan Chilcott – The Shining River (Opus Arte)
The late – and great – soprano left little recorded legacy on her sadly early death in 2003. Poised on the brink of a great career, Chilcott had recorded the first 25 tracks (all Copland songs) of this Opus Arte release, they were to mark her last recordings. They are reissued here, and enhanced by a further six tracks taken from a recital at her 'home' house, La Monnaie in Brussels, covering Strauss, Berlioz, Argento, Vaughan Williams, Britten and one last number by Copland. Throughout she is a both instinctive and commanding artist, beautifully supported by Iain Burnside as her accompanist. A very special release and a disc of rare skill and charm. Listen to Susan Chilcott's The Shining River on Spotify.

The Royal Opera House Shop stocks a full range of recordings as well as DVDs and other merchandise.

- Louise: "Vic, it's that Martínez. He must think we're still an item."
- Vic: "Yeah? Well, we're not."
- Louise: "For crying out loud, Vic, I didn't sleep with Lance! He's just a friend, which is more than you've been lately! You never called! We never see each other!"
- Vic: "Is this going somewhere?"
- Louise: "I just wanted you to know that Martínez's thugs have been following me..."
- —Louise Cassidy calls Victor Vance to tell him about the thugs following her
Where it Hurts Most is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories given to protagonist Victor Vance by his brother Lance Vance from his apartment in Ocean Beach, Vice City.
Vic goes to Lance's apartment in Ocean Beach who's half asleep and doesn't know what he has recently done. After a brief rant by Vic, Louise Cassidy-Williams calls and informs Vic that Jerry Martinez's goons have been following her and that she's been forced to hide behind a burger bar in Little Haiti, she hangs up angrily which forces Vic to rush over to Little Haiti.
When Vic arrives he goes to pick up Louise but after a short moment, she's heard screaming from a Sentinel XS car which is driven by Martinez' goons and a couple of other goons appear and try to kill Vic. After a shoot-out Vic kills Martinez' goons after him and then rushes to Downtown. He checks around the city and special hide-outs and after struggling eventually finds where Louise is kidnapped. After killing the enemies, Vic gets in the car with Louise inside and takes her to a hospital.
Mission Objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Go to King Knut's burger bar.
- Find out which car Louise is in before she dies.
- Louise isn't here. Check out another car.
- You've found Louise! Get in the car.
- Take Louise to the Downtown hospital before she dies.
Post-Mission Pager Message
The reward for completing this mission is $500 and the mission Burning Bridges mission is unlocked.
It is strongly advised that a bulletproof vehicle be used for this mission. If you haven't obtained all 30 Empire Building properties yet (which makes all the vehicles that spawn outside them bulletproof), if you've completed Kill Phil: Part 2 you can purchase a bulletproof Stretch from Sunshine Autos (though such a large vehicle is difficult to navigate in this mission), or complete the Beach Patrol side mission to unlock a bulletproof BF Injection, also at Sunshine Autos.

Foursquare hopes to launch paid search during the next two months. Merchants will be able to promote check-in deals on the platform when users search for local specials, employing the same algorithms currently used on the app's "Explore" tab.
ClickZ has confirmed the news, first reported by Advertising Age, with two sources close to the situation. One was Walgreens social media director Adam Kmiec, who has spoken with Foursquare about its future plans.
"We are interested in any way we can make our customers more aware of our specials," Kmiec said. "We also think it shows that Foursquare is maturing as an organization."
Up until this development, Foursquare mobile app searches have produced organic results. The same has been true when users tap "Explore" and then hit a "Specials" button before seeing local merchant specials on Foursquare, as well as syndicated deals from Groupon, LivingSocial, Gilt City, ScoutMob, etc. Sometime during June, sponsored results will begin appearing in both cases.
Foursquare is evidently collaborating with past brand partners to create the paid ads platform. During the last two years, it has worked with names like Walgreens, Pepsi, Dunkin' Donuts, Whole Foods, and Radio Shack.
Former Apple iAd sales director Steven Rosenblatt has been assisting Foursquare with ad products development since January when he left the tech giant. His role with the geo-social app may shed some light not only into why Foursquare is ready to launch its paid search/discovery platform, but also into what its ads may look like.
"Steven has been working closely with our internal monetization team as an advisor," Erin Gleason, Foursquare rep, told ClickZ via an email, adding that the relationship began several months ago.
Rob Reed, CEO of local-social marketing provider MomentFeed, said Rosenblatt could be a big asset to Foursquare because specials on the app platform "are also full-screen smart phone experiences, not unlike iAds, and there is plenty of room to innovate with scannable barcodes, dynamic targeting, and point-of-sale integration… Foursquare can drive sales, and that's ultimately what marketers want."
From a longer view, it's the latest business-minded step for Foursquare, which has 20 million usersand aspires to be a local marketing platform worldwide. Last August, the three-year-old companyreleased Pages, a free-to-use self-service platform for business pages. The pages product is available to marketers in 11 languages.
The paid ads development isn't necessarily unchartered territory for the geo-social brand. Nine months ago, ClickZ learned Foursquare was selling custom badges to brands on its platform starting at $75,000. And its mobile distribution deal with the aforementioned daily deals players was unveiled last August. It's been assumed by industry watchers that Foursquare has been getting a sales cut for the converted referrals it dishes out to Groupon, LivingSocial, and others.

I love meeting new people! Want to reach out to talk about college, blogging, business, or life in general? Please reach out to firstname.lastname@example.com. While I do read every email I get, I cannot respond to each one. Thank you for understanding!
Leave a Comment
Sara! I am a new reader of your blog and I just wanted to let you know that I love it. I love the layout and the colors you use and I also love your posts! They are so inspirational. I really like your college posts and I find they are super helpful! I am excited about using them for my second semester of college! I am sorry to hear that your boyfriend was diagnosed with MS. I will be praying for you both!
Hi Sara! I currently changed majors, and am trying to recreate my resume. I was wondering if you can write a post on how to write the perfect resume!
Hello Sara, great blog! Keep posting
Hey! I have a college tips blog and was hoping I could join your college tips Pinterest board to pin my article to it with you guys, please let me know, thanks!
Hi Sara,
It is quite likely you already know this, but in light of some family friends completely missing something of the same nature, I'll still ask:
It seems "Laughed" is in fact your last name. Did you ever pick up on the significance of your name being "Sara Laughed"? Like from Genesis 18?
If that was intentional, cool! If not, I still wonder what this speaks of your legacy with the Lord who was faithful to that Sarah too.
Sara, I just wanted to let you know that I saw a type on one of your images for this post: http://saralaughed.com/free-college-printables/
It's top image.
My son is struggling in his first year in college and I would love to purchase your ebook for him to read. However, I cannot find it anywhere to buy. HELP!!!
Hi Sara!
I love your blog and I am considering starting my own! I was wondering what camera you used for your blog, or if you recommend any cameras for (very) beginner bloggers?
Hi Sara!
My name is Katie and about a year ago I downloaded your free "Time Management Diagnosis" sheet and I absolutely loved it! But I messed up my last one and I didn't make a copy of it 🙁
I went to your free library and it's not there anymore. Do you happen to still have one and if so is there any way I can have it?
I love your blog and all of the helpful college motivation/planning stuff you provide!
Thank you!
Katie 🙂
I really love you site & all your wonderful content!
In one of your posts, you talk about your new apartment (and decorating it), and you mentioned you "lost" several aparments before you got yours. So, I was wondering, did you rent or buy, and what factored into this decision, and what the process was like? Since you do a lot of content about "adulting", I would love to read a post – if you're interested in writing one, of course – about home ownership versus renting, and your thoughts on this topic.
XX and lots of greetings from Austria, Magdalena
PS Best of luck for your wedding!

Hello Sara,
Someone sent me one of your essays about 88 tips to succeed in college, but it's translated in Chinese. Since it's such a helpful writing, I want my daughter, a college freshman, to read it. I went through your website but didn't find it. Do you mind send me an original copy for me her to read. She doesn't read Chinese at all. Thank you in advance for your kindness.
Best regards,
Is it still possible to subscribe to your blog? The subscribe tab doesn't allow it.
I found your blog while looking for epiphany activity ideas! Thank you!

SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Hornet head volleyball coach Ruben Volta announced today that former Santa Clara middle blocker Madeline Cannon has transferred to Sacramento State and will begin attending classes at the University on Monday.
Cannon, who is a freshman, is eligible to play for Sacramento State this spring when the team begins its sand season. The Sacramento, Calif., native and Rio Americano High School product has four years of sand eligibility and three years of indoor eligibility remaining.
Cannon spent the 2013 indoor season at Santa Clara of the West Coast Conference. Playing behind a pair of senior middle blockers, the 6-foot-1 Cannon appeared in 11 matches, including five starts and 26 sets played. She finished the season with 25 kills, seven digs and seven blocks while averaging 1.21 kills per set against conference competition. That included a season-best six kills and .667 hitting percentage against Portland.
Cannon played the past two summers for the Northern California Volleyball Club (NCVC) where she was coached by current Hornet assistant Jason Borchin. She was the starting middle blocker for both teams, including the Girls 18s squad that finished fifth in the nation in the Open Division at the 2013 Junior Nationals.
"Madeline is a great athlete who can play any position on the front row," Volta said. "She was a very accomplished middle blocker in high school, and played middle at the highest level of club. We look forward to working with her, and she will contribute right away."
Cannon enjoyed a dominant high school career at Rio Americano where she was a two-time all-state, four-time first team all-Capital League and three-time Sacramento Bee All-Metro selection. She finished her four-year varsity career with 1,344 kills, 309 blocks, 480 digs and a .439 hitting percentage.
She raised her kills per set average all four years of her prep career, culminating in 5.14 kills per set during a senior season in which she was a first team all-state selection. She helped lead Rio Americano to a four-year combined record of 115-42 overall and 42-10 in conference. In addition, the Raiders never finished lower than second place in the league standings during her tenure.
Sacramento State's sand volleyball season will begin on Wednesday, March 19, at Saint Mary's. The schedule includes 11 matches, seven of which will be played at home. That includes the home opener against Cal Poly on April 4. All home sand matches are played at the Sacramento Softball Complex.

BOULDER, CO - August 5, 2008
Webroot, a leading provider of security software for the consumer, enterprise and SMB markets, today announced the latest release of Webroot® E-mail Security SaaS which features advanced protection against the growing threat of e-mail "backscatter." A side effect of spam, viruses and worms, backscatter occurs when a spammer spoofs a legitimate e-mail address to send an unsolicited message to large distribution lists, causing the e-mail server to flood an unsuspecting e-mail address owner's mailbox with hundreds or thousands of failed delivery messages or bounce backs.
"Ninety percent of over 6 trillion business e-mails this year will be spam. This volume puts IT resources under an incredible strain to manage not only the spam but the ensuing backscatter. Just recently an ISP was driven offline while trying to absorb 10,000 backscatter messages per second," said Mike Irwin, COO, Webroot. "The impact of backscatter is especially hard on businesses with fewer IT resources or appliances that just can't scale to meet the processing load. With network security in the cloud, companies of all sizes can enjoy a scalable enterprise-class security solution that is easy to manage and provides better protection and value than traditional appliances and software."
Failed delivery messages – triggered by an e-mail sent to an invalid address or a full mailbox - can be difficult to block and tag as spammed messages, and require significant time and resources to be cleared from the network. The latest release of Webroot E-mail Security SaaS employs a technique called Bounce Address Tag Validation (BATV) to mark every message sent through its servers with a timestamp and unique cryptographic signature that cannot be duplicated. If an e-mail enters the network as a failed delivery message without this signature, customers can then configure the service to automatically mark the message as spam and block it from entering the user's mailbox.
"Companies still struggle to keep up with spam volume and attack tactics years after spam first became a serious problem, and many see a continued investment drain for spam management," wrote Chenxi Wang, Ph.D., Principal Analyst, Forrester in the June 2008 report Spam Management Best Practices. "To keep a step ahead of spammers, organizations should adopt a hybrid of filtering solutions, strengthen this connection to management technologies, and treat antispam as part of a wider email content security strategy that includes content protection and compliance."

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Maria Sharapova has made her Twitter debut at the Australian Open, and she's tweeting on THE trend of this year's tournament.
``Everyone got dressed in the same closet, wearing yellow on court at the aus open,'' she tweeted Tuesday. It was only her second posting and she already had more than 50,000 followers.
Yellow is hands down the color of choice among players - or rather, sponsors - at this year's Australian Open. Yellow sneakers, yellow shorts, yellow dresses, yellow visors.
For fans in the upper decks, it can be hard to tell who's who on certain courts.
Former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki wore a white-and-pale yellow tennis dress designed as part of her Adidas line with Stella McCartney.
It was very similar to the white-and-pale yellow Nike dress on her opponent, German Sabine Lisicki. It didn't help that both wore visors over their blond ponytails. Wozniacki won and faces Donna Vekic of Croatia in the second round.
Some men were sporting yellow, too, including France's Gael Monfils whose fluorescent muscle T-shirt matched the tennis balls and was only slightly brighter than the yellow shirt of his 18th-seeded opponent Alexandr Dolgopolov.
``The colors are a joke,'' said 73rd-ranked Timea Babos of Hungary. ``It's the same for everyone - yellow, grey and white.''
She should know. Way out on Court 22, Babos played hard and lost to France's Kristina Mladenovic, 6-3, 4-6, 11-9 in a nearly three-hour battle against a player who looked like her mirror image.
The two wore identical yellow tank dresses with white and gray trim - which provided some comic relief, Babos said, smiling through tears after her loss.
``Having the same outfit was hilarious,'' she said, adding that it was the talk of the locker room. ``Everyone was joking about it. They said, `It doesn't matter, you look better.'''
ADVICE FROM CHINA: French Open champion Li Na had some advice for her close friend and compatriot Wu Di the night before he made history by becoming the first Chinese man to play in the singles draw of a Grand Slam tournament in the Open era.
``Last night before I go to bed I get a text message from her,'' said Wu, who is from Li's hometown of Wuhan and frequently practices with her. ``She told me, `Don't be nervous. Don't think about tennis. Just go to bed. Your answer will be tomorrow, not tonight. So, don't think about anything else.'''
Li speaks from experience. She became the first Asian player to reach a Grand Slam final at the 2011 Australian Open and then the first Asian winner of a Grand Slam at Roland Garros.
Wu, ranked 186th in the world, lost his first-round match Tuesday at Melbourne Park against Croatia's Ivan Dodig, 7-5, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. But he the 21-year-old who mostly plays on the lower-level Challenger and Futures circuits fought hard.
The speedy Wu kept points lively as he ran down Dodig's heavy forehands and drop shots and forced the Croatian player into countless errors. When he broke Dodig's serve to go up 5-4 in the second set, his red-clad Chinese supporters in the stands broke into a raucous cheer: ``Jia you, Wu Di,'' which roughly translates as ``Let's go, Wu Di.''
Frenchman David Moreau, Wu's coach for the past eight months, said the Chinese player has the game to compete in more Grand Slams but he needs to be more decisive and aggressive on court.
``Of course, he needs to improve his serve. He's a short guy, but he's been improving a lot already. And now it's going to be about moving forward into the court,'' he said.
Wu is aiming to qualify for the French Open men's draw next, but isn't so optimistic about his chances.
``Of course, I want to participate two Grand Slams in a row, but red clay is not my strongest surface,'' he said.
ANDY'S NEW LOOK: Andy Murray has had to explain that his chest is not more muscular, it just looks that way because he's wearing a tighter shirt this year.
Since Murray started working with coach Ivan Lendl, he has certainly bulked up.
``Most of the weight that I put on is in my legs. But the T-shirt I'm wearing is tighter,'' said the stolid Scotsman, when told he seemed to be filling out his shirt better this year.
In his mumbling monotone, the 25-year-old added: ``It's not that I'm any bigger in my upper body. It's just because of the tightness of the T-shirt, maybe it appears that way.''
Third-ranked Murray advanced to the second round at the Australian Open on Tuesday, beating Robin Haase of the Netherlands in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1, 6-3.
It was his first Grand Slam match since his career-changing win at the U.S. Open in September, which came shortly after he won the men's gold medal at the London Olympics.
He attributes much of his success to Lendl. During an on-court interview he joked that Lendl is relaxed ``in front of the cameras, yeah,'' but, ``behind closed doors he works me very hard.''
A TRUE FAN: It was a first-round match so important for Caroline Wozniacki that it kept her golf star boyfriend, Rory McIlroy, awake at night.
The former No. 1-ranked Wozniacki came back from 3-0 down in the final set to win the last six games of the match against big-hitting Lisicki 2-6, 6-3, 6-3.
McIlroy got up at 3 a.m. to watch from Abu Dhabi, where he's preparing to play in this weekend's Abu Dhabi HSBC Championships. He was coming off a busy day himself after the announcement of his lucrative multi-year contract with Nike.
Of course, the multimillion dollar golf contract became a topic of conversation.
``It wasn't really a big surprise to me. I kind of knew,'' she said to laughter in her post-match press conference. ``I felt bad for him because I think he went to bed at midnight their time and woke up at 3 and watched me and then back to sleep for a couple of hours.''
``That's a true fan,'' she added.
Associated Press writer Justin Bergman contributed to this report.

Scanning Tunnelling Microscope, Cambridge, England, 1986
Scanning Tunnelling Microscopes (STMs) were first developed in 1986. STMs allowed scientists to see individual atoms for the first time. STMs work when electrons 'jump' between the microscope and what is being examined. Unfortunately, microscopes that use electrons can damage what is being investigated. STM technology was developed by Gerd Binnig (b. 1947) and Heinrich Rohrer (b. 1933). They won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1986. Made by W A Technology Ltd in Cambridge, England, this model was the first commercially produced Scanning Tunnelling Microscope.

About Megan and Kristin & her Blog
What tips would you give to a mom who is trying to remain stylish while raising a family?
What's one beauty product you would recommend to all moms?
What are your favorite blog posts?
Megan and Kristin's Answers
What is one practical and fashionable item every mom must have? Please include a link to a photo if you have one.
Megan and KristinFor me, a great pair of boots that I can walk comfortably in, yet make me feel fabulous when I wear them are a must have item...especially for fall! My favorite pair of boots are a vintage 70s pair that were my mama's!
Do you have suggestions to help dads more comfortably participate in "mommy and me" events?
Megan and KristinI'm definitely in favor of family days versus mommy and me days too! There are plenty of fathers who stay home with their children now and they should feel welcome at parent/child events! Planning activities that would be enjoyable for both sexes would be a start...
What are your favorite stylish but practical shoes for everyday mom duty (playground, errands, etc.)? Please include a link.
Megan and KristinMy absolute favorite shoe is for moms on the go is the Sam Edelman Gigi sandal...It's flat...It's comfortable...but it's still incredibly chic! Oh, and it comes in a fabulous array of colors and prints!
What tips can you offer for closet organization?
Megan and KristinI find that I can most easily find what I'm looking for when my closet is grouped by type of piece, i.e. dresses, pants, blouses...When I helped my best friend style a few post-baby looks recently, it really helped that her closet was properly organized!
What item should moms splurge on?

The Bible discussion group (led by Devon and Sun) is voluntarily attended, inter-denominational, and not affiliated with any church. The studies are topical and cover areas such as; friendship, habits, hurts, love, self-image, anger, and peer pressure…using the Bible as a guide. It begins with an open discussion on the topic, then a story is read or song played that relates to the topic. It wraps up with a time of discussing what the Bible might have to say about the issue and how God could help deal with that area of life. Each young person has an opportunity to express his/her ideas and beliefs.

Michael Rockefeller
Boys practicing to be warriors. 1961. New Guinea. Photo by Michael Clark Rockefeller. PM 2006.12.69.3.
New Guinea Photographs, 1961
November 15, 2006–February 2007
Now online!
The Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology presents the first, solo show of the photographs of the late Michael Rockefeller taken in 1961 in the highlands of New Guinea. This selection of black-and-white photographs has been chosen from the 117 rolls of black-and-white film (approximately 3,500 images) taken while Rockefeller was a member of the Peabody Museum's New Guinea Expedition (1961–1963).
The photographs document the life of the Dani people dwelling in the Baliem Valley, high in the mountains of New Guinea, today Irian Jaya, Indonesia. In addition to their rich documentary content, these photographs reveal much about the sensibility behind the camera. Many of the photographs in the exhibition are vintage prints made in the early 1960s. A few of the photographs were published in the volume about the expedition Gardens of War (Random House, 1968). Most have never before been published or publicly displayed.

The roller arrived today as well as some add on parts. It looks to be in good order! The body has seen some action, however the chassis and components looks nearly new.
The STRC Motor plate was a bonus, it was not mentioned to me
I like the aluminum STRC servo cranks
Some of the hop-up parts.. She is going to be a mix of color
just keep the pics coming and check your PM
Wanta part with those tires/rim that came on the roller?
The only problem I see is that their is no flexible point in the shocks, which might lead to damage, hopefully not though, looks can be deceiving...
Slash 4x4 LCG+(rolling)HCG, Slash 2wd(raptor)
Started assembly of the Rally to my specifications. I dyed the chassis black. I know I was waffling on this after dying Jordan's. I liked the look, but was not fond of the dye scraping off. I thought about it and afterward I decided, screw it, just do it as planned. I let it soak for 3 hours in the dye.
After rinsing and drying it off, I set about assembling it with the parts I do have on hand. I installed an expanded battery strap to accommodate the bigger 4s Lipos I plan to run. This fit a 4500mah, 4s 70c very nice. Snug, but nice. It looks to fit a lot larger capacity, but I have a few brand new 4500s I'll use for now.
I installed the new HR shocks and STRC caster blocks and steering blocks. This are nice units and fit with out issue. One item I was not too impressed with was the Golden Horizon's rear bearing carriers. I had to grind out with a dremel the inside bearing seat for the bearing to fit and sit in it properly flush. Not a big deal, but still.... I had read lots of good stuff on GHR stuff, but this was a slight disappointment. The only reason I went with GHR rears was they were out of stock on the STRC ones.
My STRC 17mm hub adapters have not yet arrived, so I mounted up a set of 12mm wheels just to see how it would sit. The chassis is a but high right now with no weight in it, but it looks like it will settle in at or near where the Ultimate sits at its lowest setting. The HR shocks are stiffer than the Ultimate's GTR's from what I can feel. I like it!
Still needing lots more parts but this is a start.
Dyed LCG chassis
Expanded battery strap in comparison to the standard one
Disassembly of the original rear set-up
Completed assembly of the new rear set-up
Mounted in place

STRC servo arms are a thing of beauty
As is this I think
Another look at the back
Holy smoke.....that is looking absolutely divine.....your builds are amazing...and that rally is sooooo sweet with all the shiny stuff on it....I want one.......are you still going with the pug colour scheme?...
Ford focus......hmmmmmm.......how about old school Colin McRae style...martini colours.??

Okay I keep dropping by the hobby store hoping they get more stock of paint for this project. But they don't. I the upside they did finally get the Tamiya Lime flake paint I had wanted for a different project . So I bought both cans. I wonder if I can work it into this paint job?
Yeah part of me wanted to do this rally in street trim just so I could enjoy a single color body. However a full out replic race rally would be cool to model as well. Maybe something in between .....
I picked up the E Revo clutch rebuild kit to convert this rig. As well I ordered the Hot Racing double pad clutch kit as well
Still looks tres bon!! It is tres colore! Haha gotta love francais! Can't wait to see that focus body painted up! Gonna stick with the street fighters or are you going to switch them to 1/8th scale onroads?

I hope to keep posting but I maybe banned out of here soon. I keep getting infractions for posting stuff that I'm not suppose to, due to my ignorance.... I guess until I know it all, I'll keep going until I'm punted.
Received a few items to day.
That Lime Flake paint I was talking about. Picked up a E-Revo clutch kit to upgrade the rally, and another extended battery strap for the Ultimate.
Received the power system for the Rally today, as well as some dye able RPM rod ends.
It's a Monster alright
What color are you going going to dye the rod ends if you do dye them?

I can't wait to see your bodyshell....are you gonna use the lime flake or lame flake....Lol...I have used that on a project once and it came out amazing...let me know what you think of the hot racing slipper as you know I'm loving the look of it....I really hope you don't get banned....that would be an absolute travesty....
Also can you let me know if you have to grind part of the chassis out for that MONSTER thing your installing to fit
Thanks for those words, its has really put a damper on my enthusiasm here.....
I'll send those decals out to you today.
I think I would like to do your focus doing a ford Focus ST scheme....main body lame flake and the stripe work with mirror chrome and some mirror chrome decals along the side skirts.....very basic but effective....sorry for keep making suggestion im sure yours will be far better.........can't help sticking my nose in.....yes that doesn't seem right as your threads are the most informative and interesting ive ever read!!!!
And thanks again for decals
Thanks again for the kind words and support. This is the way things go, I'm not looking for sympathy, just wanting to keep you all updated incase you noticed a change in my tone and mood around here, or if you noticed I just stopped posting.
Here are the dyed RPM arms. They color turned out okay for 1/2 hour soak. I installed one, not sure if I like it. It looks like "oh look at me" red plastic, where as the black just looks like stealthy black plastic. You can see the red con rod ends on the left rear camber link

Taking a break, while looking for inspiration for the Silverado body, I decided to go ahead and install the red connecting rod ends. I mean I may as well seeing as I went to the trouble of buying and dying them. I suppose they don't look so bad.
I measured each one before disassembly so as to not entirely screw up set-up parameters. This way you assemble to the same dimension

looks amazing man
Hi viperZ...chin up old boy and think of the ppl your entertaining.....Lol they kinda do but those rod ends look real good with your red carriers it suits the car well.....and Oooooooooooo that 1512...

"Don't call him Captain Kirk. Don't call him Captain Kirk," I thought to myself right before the start of my interview with William Shatner on Thursday.
See, there are times when interviewing a celebrity that a nerd at heart — and in every other sense — has to stop and think, "WOW." Interviewing William Shatner was one of those moments for this nerd.
Truth be told, my love of "Star Wars" outweighs that of "Star Trek," but not by much. So getting a few minutes of Captain James T. Kirk's time to talk about his upcoming appearance at this year's Denver Comic Con and other things nerdy was an experience unlike any other.
So, set phasers to full-on-nerd. Energize.
The questions you'd expect were asked — his thoughts on the rebooted films and why he enjoys attending comic cons, but one question had the best response with the biggest laugh.

Peter Diamandis: Don't Chase The Money!
XPRIZE founder and entrepreneur Peter Diamandis says when he has failed it was generally because he was "chasing" money and lost his way rather than staying true to himself and a vision.

Book Availability: Suggestions & A Warning
Looks like there's one measly used copy (for a whopping $94.80!) of the original paperback edition of Pop! available at Amazon right now, and now it seems you can pre-order a copy in library binding, as well.
Please DO NOT purchase one of these library bound copies of Pop Goes the Library: Using Pop Culture to Connect With Your Whole Community — they are pirated!
Legitimate copies still available through B&N, all the major library wholesalers, and of course, always through our wonderful publisher, Information Today (where it is still on sale for $23.70!). For those of you headed to Denver this week for ALA's Midwinter Meeting, our awesome Marketing Manager, Rob Colding, will be staffing Info Today's booth, where copies of the book will be available.
Liz & I won't be available for a signing at this conference, owing to prior commitments such as serving on the Printz Award Committee (Liz) and having to be at work (Sophie), but we will both be attending ALA Annual in Chicago, and we are ironing out a date & time for a signing.

Reddit Writes A Law: First Draft Of The Free Internet Act Emerges
from the needs-some-work,-but... deptAs we noted last month, the community at Reddit responded to the whole SOPA mess by deciding that they should collaborate to write their own piece of legislation that protects internet freedoms. The first draft of the Free Internet Act is now available as an open Google doc, where there are additional edits and comments going on as we speak.
The Free Internet Act: To promote prosperity, creativity, entrepreneurship and innovation by preventing the restriction of liberty and preventing the means of censorship. FIA will allow internet users to browse freely without any means of censorship, users have the right to free speech and to free knowledge; we govern the content of the internet, governments don't. However enforcements/laws must also be put into place to protect copyrighted content.Huffington Post has a good background article on how the bill was developed. Of course, as we noted when this originally started, there is something a bit naive about how they're going about it... but that's kind of what makes it exciting. It was that kind of naivete that actually enabled SOPA to be stopped. Most "experts" assumed it was a done deal and nothing could stop it. But along came folks such as the Reddit community who simply didn't know that SOPA couldn't be stopped... and they were instrumental in getting it stopped. So I'm excited to see what that same sort of open optimism can do on the proactive side, even if at points it feels naive or cringe-worthy.
Of course, at the same time, it's a little disappointing to see this:
"The idea is to aim high," the thread reads. "This is the same strategy employed by SOPA/ACTA pushers. We are aiming absurdly high, so that we can back down and reach a compromise."The power of the Reddit community was that it aimed high and achieved. The fact that it stood by its principles rather than "looking for a compromise" was what worked. If you go into a process looking for a compromise, that's what you'll get. If you go into a process looking for the absolutely best solution then you're more likely to get that. People shouldn't be approaching a bill about internet freedom as if it's a fight between multiple parties and compromise is needed. This should be about creating a solution that is really important and really good for everyone. Then no compromise is needed at all.
Either way, this is an interesting process to watch. I'm not sure it will actually go anywhere, but I love the enthusiasm and the proactive initiative...

VILNIUS, Lithuania -- Lithuania's government said Wednesday it planned to file a (EURO)1.45 billion ($1.9 billion) claim against Russia's Gazprom, alleging that the world's largest natural gas company has hiked prices unfairly.
Government ministers said the size of the claim covers what the country has overpaid for natural gas since 2004, when Gazprom obtained a major stake in Lietuvos Dujos, the country's largest gas importer, and changed the formula for determining the gas price.
Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius noted that German and Polish companies have also initiated legal action against Gazprom. "In this respect Lithuania is following suit. We have had several talks with Gazprom management and presented clear arguments, but to no avail," he told reporters.
Lithuania imports all its natural gas from Russia and has become more dependent on its eastern neighbor after closing a Soviet-era nuclear power plant in 2009. Since then, Lithuania has paid up to $490 per 1,000 cubic meters of gas, far higher than other European countries, according to the Energy Ministry. Lithuanian consumers, in turn, have seen their monthly energy bills soar.
Kubilius' conservative government struck back at Gazprom earlier this year when it spearheaded legislation "debundling" the gas market _ separating suppliers from the distribution network_ starting in 2014. The measure, taken in accordance with a European Union-led effort to foster more competition, will force Gazprom to give up control over some of its key assets in the Baltic state.
Meanwhile, the European Commission, the EU's executive arm, last month launched a probe to find out whether Gazprom blocked competition in gas markets in Central and Eastern Europe. Gazprom blasted the move as undue pressure on the company to change its prices.
Lithuania's claim will be submitted to a Swedish arbitration court.
