House, Senate table anti-piracy measures SOPA and PIPA
The House Judiciary Committee has suspended action on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act, the panel's chairman, Rep. Lamar Smith, R-Texas, announced today. The decision came several hours after Senate leaders took a similar action with legislation known as the Protect IP Act. The moves came in the wake of massive Internet-based protests against the measures as well as large-scale defections from lawmakers. In a statement, Smith said the committee would wait until "there is wider agreement on a solution" before proceeding on action to fight overseas-based infringements of U.S. copyrights.

Vaccines and Drugs online …

Vaccinations are an important part of many people's lives and there are plenty of online resources to help you understand them. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has an extensive site available offering information on vaccines and immunizations that includes recommendations, schedules, side effects and more. There are also sites available for more in-depth information on age specific vaccines like WebMD for kids which features tools like their vaccination scheduler and AARP for those over 55. One of the most common vaccines is for the Flu and there are many online sites available with tips and information that help you prevent and fight it like those from Clorox. You can even keep track of where the most colds and flus are by using apps like the one from Theraflu which keeps you up to date on information throughout the country. If your vaccines need a little extra help and you need to take medicine, check out Drugs.com which provides information on most prescription and over-the-counter drugs as well as the ability to download their mobile app. If you are not sure what medication you have, you can look it up by color, shape and more using the Pill Identifier. And when it comes to ordering those drugs you may want to try an online retailers like Drugstore.com and Your RX Discounts where you can find discounts on most medications. Wishing you good health today and ... Into Tomorrow!
