“It will be interesting to see if issues of safety and security will eventually trump the hallmark ideology of free, largely anonymous or pseudonymous participation in cyberspace,” said Sameer Hinduja, a professor of criminology and criminal justice at Florida Atlantic University.Impressive, no? (Even Scooby, who presumably harbors Colbertian-like disdain for the Times, must agree with that. [Just kidding, Scoob!!])
2. His comments were featured on NPR's Talk of the Nation show yesterday about the verdict in the Meier case, which was decided earlier this week. After responding to my numerous calls and emails to him and Patch encouraging them to call in and share their expertise, Pap's e-mail about the verdict was read on air. (You can hear his comments at the 27:37 mark -- Neal Conan says, "This email from Sameer in Jupiter, Florida...") I was so excited I about drove off of the road. Pap was on TOTN!! And show's guests thought he made a great point!!
3. He's had his picture taken with McGruff. Waaaaay cooler than either the Times or NPR, if you ask me.
*This is rivaled in coolness, of course, by Velma's gun violence research being picked up by Ted Gest.

Congrats, Pap! Very well done.
Nice work. It is a dream of mine to be on NPR. You rock.
Impressive Dr. Hinduja. I've seen Patch on the local news in Phoenix, you in the NY Times in Yuma. Will I see Mandy on TMZ in Flagstaff next????? MSU School of Criminal Justice Softball Team '00 is taking over the planet. When will the volcano lair be finished?
Heaven help me if I ever end up on TMZ! Page Six, on the other hand -- now that's a different story. : )
