	Signal Loss - A Prisoners of Gravity Fansite
		One of the more notable points of Prisoners of Gravity's history is that the series was canceled during the height of its popularity.
		Personally, I see Prisoners of Gravity and The Anti Gravity Room as two siblings; PoG, the elder sibling, has long since accepted its dorkiness and is proud of it.
		However, while Prisoners of Gravity's segments were cheesy but amusing, Warp's were just plain bizarre.

	erasing clouds
		Prisoners of Gravity first aired on TVOntario, a Canadian public television station, in 1989 where it ran for five seasons and 137 episodes before being canceled in 1994.
		I initially saw PoG as "The New Music for SF/comics," [note: The New Music is an excellent TV magazine show dedicated to musicians and new trends in music] and as a person who was instrumental in shaping New Music, Daniel was the perfect person to pitch.
		PoG didn't ask superficial questions or go for the fanboy response but really put some thought behind what was asked of the interviewee.

	Pennsylvania's Parole Laws
		Prior to 1941, final authority was invested in the governor regarding when to parole a prisoner, parole was treated as "commutation" to be considered only after expiration of the minimum term and upon recommendation of three members of the Board of Pardons.
		The Court must consider the character of the defendant and the particular circumstances of the offense in light of the legislative guidelines for sentencing, and must impose a sentence that is the minimum sentence consistent with the protection of the public, the gravity of the offense, and the rehabilitative needs of the defendant.
		Thus, it is clear that only the Board's power to administer parole remains intact; that is, (1) the logistics of releasing a prisoner on parole upon expiration of minimum term, (2) supervision of paroles, (3) recommitment, and (4) reparole.
