1. PLEASE create a NEW Star Trek TV Series!!!! :) 
The WORLD, as you can see... MISSES having a Star Trek SERIES! :)
2. Darker Than Black Continuation
At the end of a phenomenal anime series called Darker Than Black, many loyal viewers were disappointed. Not only was the ending unclear and left too much open, but it downright challenged much of the earlier points made.
The thoughts over this ending can be found here (NOTE: Spoilers for any readers who have not finished the series)

However, many thought that there would be something made later to clarify. However, the only thing that has been confirmed and released is a four episode OVA series detailing what had happened before the entire second season.
All other inquiries on a third season have been shot down by BONES.
3. Bring back Dr. Goodman - Bones
Dr. Daniel Goodman was the head of the Jeffersonian in Bones for the first season. He went on sabbatical at the beginning of season 2 and didn't come back.
The sabbatical was supposed to last for 2 months, and has been going on for about 3 years now.
4. No Cuts To Highland Rheumatology Unit
The only one of its kind in Scotland, the Highland Rheumatology Unit in Dingwall provides unparalleled inpatient and outpatient care for people suffering from inflammatory acute & chronic joint disease as well as other severe joint and bone conditions. The Unit transforms the lives of people, allows them to remain independent and have less of a need to call on GPs' time and that of other local services.
The following services are all provided under the one roof: Specialist Physiotherapy, Hydrotherapy, Orthotics, Podiatry, Dietician, Dermatology Nurses, Specialist Occupational Therapy, X-Ray, Dexa Scan, Inpatient Treatment & Outpatient Clinics. Biologic/Rheumatology Specialist Nurses, Education, Injection Therapy, Intravenous Infusions and Consultant ward rounds.
This all provides an holistic approach to management of systemic conditions for patients and are provided by remarkable, caring staff. They continue to provide this despite the fact that five nurses who retired have not been replaced.
NHS Highland is now considering making cuts which in one form or another, will drastically reduce such care for thousands of people. Arthritis may be thought of as an illness affecting elderly people but there is a large and increasing number of young people suffering and requiring long term care. It can hit anyone at any time. NHS Highland is suggesting that the concentrated, invaluable care that is provided at the Unit could, perhaps, be provided by GPs and other community health professionals. Their resources are already fully stretched. They do not have the specialist knowledge to ensure that up-to-date treatment is given.
Excellent specialist services are usually provided in large towns and cities but here in the rural Highlands, with our challenging geography, we have a brilliant, unique service that should be cherished. NHS Highland should be praising and expanding the Unit, rather than reducing it. Many people want to fight cuts. In addition to this petition, we have an email address: friends.of.hru@googlemail.com to which you can send support for our campaign.
5. Change of Phrase - Sticks and Stones - stop bullying at its root source
In society, words are taken very lightly and we see a degradation of values and respect which in the past built up our constitutions as people with virtues.
In order to get the mindset of children changed through a very poisonous phrase I would like to call for for a revisement of phrase, such that it is accurate and applicable throughout religion, sectors,cultures i.e. applicable and relevant for ALL.
The phrase details:
STICKS AND STONES MAY BREAK MY BONES, BUT WORDS (NAMES) WILL NEVER HURT ME. - Although a physical attack may harm me, I am not bothered by cruel words or name-calling. I don't care what you're saying. This children's taunt was first listed in 'Folk Phrases of Four Counties' (1894) by G.F. Northall and is first attested in the United States in 'Miss Lindsey' (1936) by S.G. Gibbons. The proverb is found in varying forms: Sticks and stones may break my bones, but hard words cannot hurt me; Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me; Sticks and stones will break my bones, but lies will never hurt me." From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" (1996) by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).
With IMMEDIATE EFFECT change to:
Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones -- And Words Can Hurt, Too
MOTIVATION: Personal life experience observations.
example - see web site
http://www.childrentoday.com/resources/articles/bullies.htm
It is very important for people, especially children to recognise the power of words and how damaging they can be. words have the power to make or break people and it can leave scars that never heal until those hurting words are retracted through sincere forgiveness.
6. Stop the site of Bonsai Kittens!
Bonsai describes the ancient Japanese art of growing miniature trees by rigorous pruning of their roots and branches. Because of their small size, aesthetic appeal, and minimal upkeep requirements, Bonsai trees have long been popular additions to offices and homes.
In late 2000 the website bonsaikitten.com debuted. It described how to apply the same Bonsai principles to kittens. The idea was to seal kittens inside glass containers. As they grew (fed and watered through a tube), the bones of the cats would supposedly conform to the shape of whatever container held them. At the end of the process a uniquely shaped ‘Bonsai Kitten’ would emerge—sure to be the envy of all.
“You no longer need be satisfied with a house pet having the same mundane shape as all other members of its species,” the site declared. “With Bonsai Kitten a world of variation awaits you, limited only by your own imagination.” The site also advertised that hand-grown Bonsai Kittens were available for sale to the public.
The site contained numerous, over-the-top details designed to provoke. (WARNING: the squeamish might want to skip this paragraph.) For instance, it described the soft, springiness of kitten bones, claiming that “if you take a week-old kitten and throw it to the floor, it will actually bounce!” It also provided nauseating details involving super glue and plastic tubes for dealing with waste removal: “as the kitten’s body is still developing, a natural rectal diverticulum will soon form around the tube.”
Finally, it offered the disturbing reminder that one should remember to drill an airhole for the kitty. This site was proved as a hoax but still the website remains open.
