My new address to send e mail is: roberto.leuci@katamail.com Best regards Roberto Leuci ----Messaggio originale---- Da: terrydubose@sbcglobal.net Data: 9-mag-2006 10.23 AM A: "Multiple recipients of list ULTRASOUND"<ultrasound@dns.obgyn.net> Ogg: Re: Save the Internet In the USA we can write/call our legislators. In other countries, it will take having your leaders take the issue to international diplomacy... I know of nothing else that might change it. It distresses me that the American corporations (Yahoo, Google, Microsoft, Sysco, WalMart, & others) have knuckled under to Chinese censorship. see: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/2264508. stm I fear this is just the beginning. Try GOOGLEing "Tank Man" and see how many references and images come up; but realize that in China there are no internet references to "the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989." see: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tankman/ My apologies to those who object to the polemics on this forum, but it seems an open internet is in our best interests.

Lobbyists are writing the bill in secret, in conference committee. Megolomaniac... ========== Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet's First Amendment -- a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you -- based on what site pays them the most. Your local library shouldnt have to outbid Barnes & Noble for the right to have its Web site open quickly on your computer. Net Neutrality allows everyone to compete on a level playing field and is the reason that the Internet is a force for economic innovation, civic participation and free speech. If the public doesn't speak up now, Congress will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign by telephone and cable companies that want to decide what you do, where you go, and what you watch online. This isnt just speculation -- we've already seen what happens elsewhere when the Internet's gatekeepers get too much control. Last year, Telus -- Canada's version of AT&T -- blocked their Internet customers from visiting a Web site sympathetic to workers with whom the company was having a labor dispute. And Madison River, a North Carolina ISP, blocked its customers from using any competing Internet phone service. -- More --

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
