dixiegrrrrl's JournalBreaking Bad creator is already doing TWO other shows...yayyy.
File under: "reasons to be happy that the older you get, the faster time goes by"
It will be Gilligan's second series post-Breaking Bad; he is also working on spin-off series Better Call Saul, featuring the show's sleazy lawyer, Saul Goodman.
Battle Creek was first developed by The X Files veteran Gilligan a decade ago, before Breaking Bad elevated him to the Hollywood top table.
He is making a 13-part series for CBS, the network for whom he previously developed it in 2002. It is expected to broadcast in 2014.
Battle Creek tells the story of two detectives in the Michigan town of the same name who have contrasting approaches to law enforcement – to do it by the book, or by whatever means necessary.

U.S. lawmakers seek to end bulk NSA telephone records collection
The measure introduced by Democrats Ron Wyden, Mark Udall and Richard Blumenthal, and Republican Rand Paul, is one of several efforts making their way through Congress to rein in sweeping surveillance programs.
The Senate Intelligence Committee is holding a public hearing on Thursday when the panel's leaders are expected to discuss their surveillance reforms, the Senate Judiciary Committee is addressing the issue and several members of the House of Representatives have also introduced legislation.
"The disclosures over the last 100 days have caused a sea change in the way the public views the surveillance system," said Wyden, a leading congressional advocate for tighter privacy controls, told a news conference.

UPDATED**So WHY did our Gov deny Venezuelan President Maduro airspace access for China trip????
Jaua said on Thursday that the flight had been scheduled to pass over the US territory on Friday on its way to China. He characterized the US action as an "aggression."
The US Embassy in Caracas did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment on the foreign minister's statement. Maduro is leaving Friday for the trip to China, which runs through Tuesday.
Venezuela and the US have had tense relations for a number of years and have been without ambassadors in each other's country since 2010.

Bear in mind the SEC can only assess civilian charges, not criminal charges, altho it can, but rarely does, then refer its findings to Justice Dept for criminal prosecution, AKA "a cold day in hell" event.

Internet copyright censorship is outgrowth of 1500's policy
Excellent short article puts current internet censorship in a new light.That’s not true; it was merely re-enacted in that year.
It was created in 1557 as a censorship instrument to suppress political dissent.
When the printing press hit Europe, royalty and clergy panicked.
All of a sudden, they had lost the gatekeeper position of determining what culture and knowledge was available to the masses, and by extension, lost control of the political discourse of their time.
At the time, different regimes reacted differently to the threat. France reacted by banning book shops altogether and banning the use of the printing press under penalty of death. The ban was utterly ineffective. (Yes, you read that right: the penalty for unauthorized copying has been escalated as far as the death penalty, still without effect.)

Herpes-Infected Monkeys Invade Florida
But the state has a new issue: invasive monkeys—with herpes.
There are about 1,000 feral Rhesus monkeys living in Florida right now. Among those scooped up by wildlife officials over the years, most were found to be carriers of the Herpes B virus, and this week, the colony was declared a public health hazard.
