The Tide Is Turning Against SOPA … And We Might Actually Succeed In Stopping It

"Be a HERO and Help STOP SOPA Now!! I'll tell you How! This Video that Must Be SHARED!"
Just makes it harder for them. If this Bill doesn't pass then they'll try to ram it in on the back of some Port Security Bill, and if that doesn't work they'll find a way with FCC regulations and when that doesn't work the big "attack" via the internet will occur and in the name of national security they'll lock this fucker down. Can't wait to have to press my mark of the beast to my computer to login. Seeing Godaddy take a punch to the nuts is atleast nice. I'm hoping the hippies in Austin take notice and run Lamar Smith. Here is a nice letter I just sent him via his website.
Dr. Mr. Smith,
As you can see from my address I do not live in your district, but I wanted to make it a point to let you know that while I am a conservative and maybe even a republican (less and less these days). I do live close and will be traveling to your district to campaign for someone who opposes you next election.
Your authoring of the SOPA bill in all its fascist grandeur is the reason I must. I think copyright infringement and piracy is a problem also, but your willingness to put your name to the this monstrosity (that I fear will be used by tyrants and despots for far more than making sure music isn't downloaded) confuses me. Either you have no regard for the 1st amendment and long for the day dissenters can be silenced by our federal babysitters, or you just aren't smart enough to see how vague mealy mouthed language written by corporate lawyers never ends up being used for its original purpose and never benefits the constituents. You can put out press releases all you want saying its intent is to stop foreign piracy websites, but anyone that can read can see this bill will have far reaching and dire consequences (unintended or not). The power this gives federal bureaucrats to silence dissenters on the internet would make the hardliners in the Politburo blush. Your blind support for a bill you clearly didn't author, your blatant disregard for civil liberties and pandering to your corporate money men is either your largest oversight in a long career or evidence to Texas conservatives your actions don't align with your words.
Here's a link to Obamas latest position on NDAA
FWIW is dated 12/22
ha ha, so predictable, they could care less what we think
Obama will veto SOPA, not!
If you want to stop globalist Fascists - Use a bullet.
A few sticks for the fire...
GoDaddy accused of interfering with anti-SOPA exodushttp://cnet.co/sAsNQA
Do something:
Even money that the first steps for getting NDAA up and running will be to track people who visit sites like the one you've quoted.
Terrorist activities include:
Storing more than a month's worth of food, owning more than one gun, "hording" gold or other "barter" goods, etc.
Fun, fun, fun.
Nonsense bullshit. There is replacement legislation waiting in the wings (meaning in the briefcases handed to House and Senate leadership by their K Street handlers).
They will promptly pass this "alternative legislation" which "answers all of [Darth] Obama's objections." Exactly like the president's whim death legislation in the defense funding bill was whisked through.
PIPA and SOPA are dead! Long live PIPA and SOPA!
For the tickers of legislation solidifying the banker-run totalitarian government, after the Stop Online Privacy Act is passed, next it will be made illegal to buy or sell precious metals in any quantity without filing with the IRS, and the gun show "loophole" long hated by the Brady bunch will be closed, requiring universal recording of all firearms purchases and eventually universal registration of all firearms. Confiscation probably won't be necessary, it will be enough to know where the guns are, and where the PMs are.
Yes! Great news! Time to put the pedal to the metal and get some momentum behind this. Of course the only thing these whores understand is the threat to their re-election.
1, 2, 3
Why do you try to steal from me?
Stole my mind
Stole my soul
Stole my hundred and forty from that damn Wii Console.
I've been spamming the shit out of anything that moves with a bot. My junk accounts on Youtube are getting griefed now or hung up on capcha.
If SOPA does not pass, you will see a law in its stead that compels all bloggers to identify themselves by their real names.
..After some suitable false flag blogging that will be used to rally the emotions... (Pedophile/satanic/antisemitic, whatever does the job)
China just did it. (with their national ID card numbers!)
Whether it will work with the US is another matter entirely.
English is a global language.
Just to be sure, the US govt will never give up control over ICANN.
Hence the many failed/costly attempts at getting IPv6 running anywhere.
Woo Hoo! The people have won!
"Tell them what they've won, Johnny!"
"You've won a brand new DC Folly!"
It is sad that so many people believe noise passes for meaningful action, while not realizing the real action is their own reaction. In other words, it's a meaningless sugar high to make you feel useful.
Ya really want to kill SOPA; get a rider attached that copyrights DC kiddie porn - if the fine upstanding gents of our hallowed halls see an interuption to their fix they'll kill this bill before the Viagra woody wilts ...... hypothetically speaking of course - I'm sure there are no actual sexual deviant in .gov
How many sheeple do you think actually know anything about this? Come on you could ask 1000 people on any street, "What do you think of the SOPA bill?" or "the government is passing a bill to stop online piracy but it will restrict all flow of information and log your every move online, would you support this?". You would get 1000 people looking at you like you had two heads. However if you asked 1000 people on the street who Kim Kardashian fucked last tuesday 950 or so could give you the correct answer. TPTB know the larger you expand the sphere of influence the more freedoms you can take away. A crowd is only as smart as its dumbest member. When you talk about the USA the bar is set half a notch above full retard. On the national level the USA is only capable of producing results looking like the incoherent scribbles hanging on the fridge of a proud retard's mom.
Who is Kim Kardashian?
You're kidding right? SOPA is a flashy Kardashian-like distraction for activist nerds. Everyone I saw under thirty over Christmas brought this up in conversation with me (as I'm the "serious" guy in the family). What does it distract them from? Why everything else that matters that they are totally clueless about, like say Jon Corzine and MFG. I didn't talk to a single person who had even heard of it, let alone knew anything about why it is such a huge deal. But I guess the collapse of the capital formation markets for producers to draw upon is no big deal when compared the most important thing ever, the bogeyman known as IP, right?
No, my family and friends are all too worried about the evil-doers regulating content flow on the internet (something I told them years ago that would happen regardless, eventually, as the net becomes ever more part of our daily lives (it was obvious the instant RIAA started using the DMCA to extract royalites)).
At least it gave me a chance to ask them why they focused on trivia while ignoring the ongoing destruction of society by the very political operatives they expected to be saved by. Then I ask, "Why do you support this rule of criminals over you anyway? Why do you consent?" The reactions are interesting because you can see the light come on where they finally consider the reality that they do have a choice of whether or not to consent, rather than accepting the decrees of the criminal class at face-value.
You're still missing the point. Without the Internet, just how are we going to get unfiltered information? Fox? NY Times? Osmosis?
No offense but there was a time before the internet where people somehow managed to receive good information; it just wasn't so easily accessible. Also, I'm sure the .gov know who you are whether or not you use a pen name. The only thing anonynmous names protect you against is the thought og being shamed by neighbors of what they might think of you. Personally, in some instances I think using your real name would bring down the extreme vitriol and hate level in the country since people can say whatever with no fear of shame (I dont support that motion or any of SOPA, I'm just pointing out some arguments). Maybe I just am being contrarian because you are all acting as if America is a society of fools, which is what europe thinks of us, and I dont belive that. We have produced great things and that hasnt left us. I just think people are getting tired of all the doom and gloom without any boom. Its getting too "boy who cried wolfish." I keep hearing how bad things are going to get and it never happens. But Im young and its hard to fight the tide cause trust me people wont want to hang out with you if all you talk is politics, no matter if you're a dem or a repub. It gets depressing. Just my thoughts. And a lot of people's thoughts in the 24-34 age bracket, at least in my neck of the woods in the northeast.
For those who haven't seen it - a great SOPA video:
This is sort of like the CIA laundering drugs into the Country then putting people in privatized prisons for using them
exactly...brilliant video...thanks for sharing CH...spread the word
must watch
Fringe Blogger Bearing likely would be an early casualty...
This is an example of the corporate structure measuring how much pressure can be put on the livestock, without causing a stampede. Oops! We have a stampede.
The corporations, and law firms who support them and this bill, saw the reaction on the internet. They read the twitters. And what they liked, they didn't see.
You see, we still have some democracy in this country, but it isn't in the voting booth, or in our legislative houses. It comes in the form of the almight dollar and people's wallets and feet. And luckily, we still have enough cash flow in the masses for them to care.
If SOPA or PIPA were to ever pass, I swear to god, the boycott shitstorm that would result would probably be the most awesomest thing in the history of forever. I know I immediately am switching off of Comcast after I saw their name attached to this bill next year for my internet. Taking my business elsewhere.
You'd almost root for the bill to pass (if it, of course, didn't complete our Road to Fascism) just to see Hollywood, Big Media, and Big Broadband Corporations lose customers like Charlie Sheen loses watches to coke whores. Twitter hastags not only encouraging boycotts of movie theaters, but even MORE pirating, sabotage, and even leaking info on those CEOs and movie studio executives, exposing their fraud. There would also be political backlash for pols supporting this legislation, but we consider them all the same, so that doesn't matter as much.
Repeal Glass-Steagall? No one cared at the time. Health Care Mandate even though 65% of the people wanted a public option? Everyone accepted what they got (a barter from Health Insurance companies), even if, IMO, it's worse that the system we have now (minus the 6 things like pre existing conditions and child care up til age of 26).
But fuck with people's internet, during this era of social and alternative media? Hell fucking no.
The reason the TPTH have been able to rape us for so long is because of the collective slumber the US citizenship is in due to the fact as much as been taken away from them, but it's not enough to reach a tipping point. But....we are close. And this bill passing would not only usher the biggest boycott in the history of the world, but also protests that would make #OWS seem like mass at a Catholic Church on a Sunday afternoon, and could possibly even trigger bank runs and tax revolts. If that doesn't happen within the next 2 years already.
This could be the final straw for the American people vs their Congress. We will see who the Congress sides on.
This is one piece of good news that I've heard all week. And the key is that the Right and Left united against it. United we can do a lot more than if we are divided. Lets start doing so more often. We need some sort of Unity Party (headed by Ron Paul) that puts all wedge issues aside until the key issues have been resolved (bankers behind bars, non-debt based financial system, etc).
This is good. Too bad that they will keep on trying to pass this until they do succeed. They'll put it away in some drawer, and when the time is right (after a terror attack or right before the long 4th of July/Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday weekends) they'll dust it off and pass it in the middle of the night like they do so many other abominations that they know are against the population's best interests (see also: Federal Reserve Act of 1913).
Also see: UEIGA - 2007, which banned banks from doing business with gambling operators off shore using RICO and Wire Act statutes......on the back of a Port Securities Bill which had NOTHING to do with online gaming just so Frist could win votes in his evangelic Christian Tennessee. Oh, and those tidy campaign contributions from Harrah's he got (around $25K....and probably some free rooms/dinners along the way) who wanted PokerStars off the USA map.
4 years later: the NY DOJ hass taken more than 500+ million in bank accounts associated with online gaming, caused an Full Tilt Poker "bankroll run", and there is no more major internet poker. It also has gotten harder to deposit/withdraw on sites that DO exist. The only positive thing is that the DOJ just took "internet poker" off the list of things it looks to prosecute in enforcing UEIGA (all it does is basically pave way for big casino corps to start setting up sites for USA).
It's a done deal. Can't have truth floating around for all to see.
Think about it a bit ...
I think bills like this are purposefully pushed through so that the White House Obummer can be the hero in election year and be the one "looking out" for the people.
I would not be suprised if the whole thing was planned out ahead of time by Harry Reid and our chief Czar Obama. I think they thought they could ram it through so Obama could veto it before debate heated up too much. Instead it appears to have backfired on them and many groups are mad.
The MPAA and RIAA have been pushing this kind of crap since Obama was still at Harvard. Trying to pin this on him just shows that you've been pwned by the real slimeballs.
I bet you think flouride in water is an Obama govt conspiracy too. "The precious bodily fluids" being impurified and all that. I got no love for the guy, but he's just a stooge like all the other presidents down the line.
yep,... but every election these stooges get handed more power - now they can declare war or decide who, or whom is a terrorist, and without congressional consent, while flying on 'Air Force One' - out of the country vacationing to boot --- but that's ok? you lose, you never win kinda guy 'G...B'
how did the great hero look out for the little guy with the indefinite detention bill that recently was passed...
Finally, some good news at last!
More news from the Land of the Free, where Congress shall make no law that infringes on free speech.
Sad ain't it?
Dare I say it...the sheep are beginning to bleat? They must be hungry for...something ;-)
i am glad folks are up in arms but i hope the obama assassination bill is used to kill off every single one of these goddamned assholes....
these fucktards are more worried about their precious little blogs being shutdown than over the fact that the president of the united states for arbitrary and no reason at all can order the murder of any usa citizen....
fuck all you internet cunts....
Totally agree. Fuck 'em.
Oh I agree so much. While SOPA is nefarious, none of these "freedom fighters" fought the real causes like avoiding war in Iraq, avoiding unaccountability for financial criminals, avoiding the patriot act, and so much more. Once the regressive tide hits their entertainment, that's when they get social conscience? That's Amerikkka, land of the digital device alienated...
Here's a rule of thumb that is developing amoungst my peers.
Whatever ZH says, chances are very good that the opposite will happen.
I guess it's the clientele - one serves the dishes that the customer demands.
"I'd never join a club that would have me as a member" - Groucho Marx
Peak Oil
Were you expecting ZH to prognosticate the future for you?
And you're pointing this out on a contributor post because...?
'Peak oil poet'.....or 'pop'.
What a fucking wankey nom de plume.
//Whatever ZH says, chances are very good that the opposite will happen.//
Heaven itself would manifest on Earth if that statement is true, to my knowledge, that hasn't happened yet and ZH and its associated community remains an objective observer of the debt-corporatism-warfare-white collar crime paradigm
Cramer, is that you?

Recapping Last Week
Bruins Just Miss At Arizona, Then Sweep ASU For Split In Desert The Bruins came close to having a great weekend on the first road trip since classes began. UCLA took No. 18 ranked Arizona to five games before coming up short, then rebounded to register the first sweep of the season at Arizona State.
10/9 Lost 2-3 (10-15, 15-10, 15-17, 15-5, 14-16) at No. 18 Arizona
The Bruins came as close as possible without actually posting the victory as they lost in five games at No. 18 ranked Arizona. Both Ashley Bowles and Kristee Porter registered double-doubles and notched 20-kill outings to lead the Bruins. The return of senior co-captain Chaska Potter, who has been hampered by injuries, was an important factor on, and beyond, the stats sheet as she hit .538 with seven kills and no errors in 13 attempts, added 10 digs and tied her career-best with five blocks. Sophomore Elisabeth Bachman also tied her career- high with nine assisted blocks. For Arizona, sophomore Allison Napier registered a career-high 21 kills.
10/11 Won 3-0 (15-11, 15-3, 15-2) at Arizona State
UCLA registered its first sweep of the season with a bit of drama. The Bruins started slow and fell behind 10-3 in game one before mounting a major rally for the 15-11 game-one win. The momentum and match belonged to UCLA the rest of the way as the Bruins allowed just five more points the rest of the match. Freshman Ashley Bowles again led the Bruins as she recorded her fifth double-double with 14 kills and 13 digs. Fellow rookie Kristee Porter added 12 kills and sophomore Elisabeth Bachman hit .533 with nine kills.
Arizona State was held to a .000 attack percentage while UCLA hit .435 in the final game and .208 in the match. The Bruins also won the blocking war 12-2. Sophomore Amy Nihipali tied her career-best with eight blocks, including three solo, and Chaska Potter assisted on a career-high six blocks. ASU was led by rookie Jami Coughlin's seven kills and eight digs, while sophomore Amanda Burbridge added a team-high 11 digs.

Brief Bruin Overview
This year's theme of "Winning Hand In Hand" builds on the foundation of excellence which is second to none. The UCLA women's volleyball program is joining hands in a quest to bring home its seventh national title. The 1998 Bruins combine nine newcomers, including the second ranked recruiting class in the nation, with nine returners, including a pair of redshirts from last year. This year's squad is extremely young with six sophomores, one junior and only two seniors. Three freshman received the starting nod in the season opener at Hawaii and six have already made significant contributions. Captains for the season are senior Chaska Potter and sophomore Elisabeth Bachman.
Youthful Bruins
One half of the 18-player UCLA roster is made up of freshman, including the second-ranked recruiting class in the nation, and six more are sophomores. Needless to say the starting lineup is dominated by underclassmen. In fact all three of the Bruins upperclassmen have been hampered by injuries thus far. Seven rookies have already seen action and five have earned starts, including three mainstays (Erika Selsor, Ashley Bowles and Kristee Porter) who have played every game. Although several people have seen action in the opposite hitter slot, the remainder of the starting rotation belongs to a trio of sophomores. Middle blockers Elisabeth Bachman and Amy Nihipali have owned the starting nods inside while defensive specialist Michelle Quon has shared the rotation with one of them.
Rookie Report
As the starting setter, Erika Selsor has not missed a rotation and is averaging 12.14 assists per game. Outside hitter Kristee Porter leads the team with 210 kills and ranks fifth in the conference with a 4.29 per game average. Outside hitter Ashley Bowles is right behind Porter with 199 total kills and a 4.06 per game average (eighth in the Pac-10) and leads the team with 123 digs and a 2.51 per game average. Angela Eckmier has seen considerable action (23 of 49 games) in the opposite slot and earned the starting nod in Chicago. Lauren Hogan started both home matches. Taylor Rodger and Danielle Ryba have also seen action.
Double Dips
The hottest player on the court, freshman Kristee Porter has notched 20-plus kills in five of the last seven matches and has reached double-figures in nine consecutive outings. Porter also notched her fourth double-double at Arizona and fell just shy of the prestigious 20-20 club with 29 kills and 18 digs at Stanford. Fellow rookie Ashley Bowles was the first Bruin to register double figures in kills this season when she notched 21 against Ohio State. Bowles has also posted double figure kills in the last nine matches, including 20-plus outings at Stanford, USC, and Arizona. She has a total of 10 double-dips thus far and owns five double-double (kills and digs), including thelast two outings. Bowles also came close to the 20-20 club with 20 kills and 18 digs at Stanford.
Sophomore Elisabeth Bachman has reached double figures in kills in five matches, bringing her career total in this category to 16. She fell just shy of a triple-double vs. Oregon when she registered nines in kills, digs and blocks. Senior defensive specialist Mandi Lawson reached double-figures in digs for the first two times in her Bruin career this season when she notched 11 at Santa Clara and later 12 at Stanford. Fellow specialist, sophomore Michelle Quon improved her career-high with 11 digs at USC and has reached double figures in digs on six occasions this season. Setter Erika Selsor has notched three double- figure dig matches, including the last two outings. Rookie Angela Eckmier notched her career-high 12 digs at Santa Clara. Senior Chaska Potter put up her first double-digit performance with 10 digs at Arizona.
Building Blocks
Sophomore Elisabeth Bachman has had a hand on at least seven kills in six of the last eight matches, including a new career-high nine (two solo, seven assisted) vs. Oregon. She equaled that mark with nine assisted at Arizona. Bachman is currently ranked fifth in the Pac-10 Conference with an overall blocking average of 1.37. She is averaging 1.57 blocks per game in Pac-10 matches. Eight of her 12 solo blocks have come during conference matches.
Fellow sophomore Amy Nihipali put down three solo blocks in each of the last two matches and now leads the team with 15 solo blocks, 12 of those coming during Pac-10 matches. Nihipali has improved her blocking average tremendously during conference play recording 31 of her total 44 blocks against league foes. She tied her career-high by registering eight blocks (3 BS, 5 BA) at Arizona State.
Power Surge For Pac-10
Rookie outside hitter Kristee Porter owns a .284 hitting percentage during Pac-10 matches (the last seven matches played). Porter has drilled 153 of her total 210 kills during conference play. Her average is also higher in digs during league action as she boasts a 2.50 Pac-10 digs per game average, compared to a 2.08 overall digs average. In addition, Porter has registered nearly half of her blocks during conference play with 18 of a total 31 coming against Pac-10 foes.
Elite Performance
Rookie setter Erika Selsor became only the seventh player and third freshman in UCLA history to notch 70-plus assists in a single match when she tallied 70 at Stanford on Sunday, Sept. 20. The fact that this was a four-game match makes it even more rare as that has only happened six times in the total of 22 matches with 70-plus assists by a Bruin.
Bruin Sidelines
Coach Banachowski
A great teacher of the game, UCLA head coach Andy Banachowski achieved one of the highest honors possible when he became the first women's volleyball coach to be inducted into the national Volleyball Hall of Fame as a coach last year. Now in his 32nd season guiding the Bruins, Banachowski is not only the owner of more victories than any other NCAA Division I women's coach, but also mentor to numerous individual success stories during and after college. He has led the Bruins to six national championships, top-four national finishes in 20 of the last 27 years and compiled 30 or more victories in seven of the last 10 seasons.
Bruin Honors:
Bowles Named All-Tournament in Hawaii
Earning All-Tournament honors in her first collegiate tournament, freshman Ashley Bowles (Manhattan Beach, Mira Costa High) is already establishing herself as a force in the UCLA lineup and in the nation. Bowles was impressive in each outing during the weekend, and posted her best numbers (21 kills, .395, 9 digs) in UCLA's 2-3 loss to Ohio State. She hit .299 and totaled 39 kills for a team- high 3.55 kills per game and added 19 digs over the weekend en route to the honor.

Appartement bien situer et très propre.

We enjoyed our stay in this studio, however were disappointed by two things. If the weather is warm the windows need to be open and the street noise is very loud. The second disappoinment is that the ceiling height of the mezzanine is about 5ft (1.5m) which means that any Tennant has to stoop. This is not apparent from the photos.
Nice, tiny appartment which was clean and tidy, very close to the shopping strip and 10 min to get to the beach. We didn't meet salvatore, but his cousin who nicely explained everything and handed out the keys.

After attending Las Vegas: The Game's (LVTG) opening luxury bus tour, they sent another invitation for a Night Out party at the Velveteen Rabbit Cocktail Lounge.
LVTG knows how to find some of the most interesting night spots in Las Vegas!
The front of the Velveteen Rabbit did not show any hints of their exceptional interior. The arty, one-of-a-kind bouquet-style furnishings held a personalized look. Several lights hung down from the ceiling to double as decorations.
The pictures on the walls attracted attention. Each showed a splash of colors, more impressions rather than the paintings you usually see other places.
Tonight the food was catered with a selection of hors' d'oeuvres even though the Velveteen usually doesn't serve food. The guests had their choice of several original drinks created by the bar.
Velveteen Rabbit is the type of lounge which allows their guests to relax and meet everyone. Comfortable couches, love seats and chairs awaited the guest's preferences. The dark walls were a contrast to the touches of purple, pink, red and gold furnishings.
The long wooden bar filled one side of the room with the lounging area on the other. The moving wall startles guests as they try to see how it was done.
The Velveteen Rabbit Lounge is located at 1218 S. Main Street.
Las Vegas: The Game is recognized as the latest entertainment in Las Vegas.
Justin Oswald, The Game Director, created several interesting situations. You are suddenly a part of the plot. Justin explained, "This is a production company specializing in multiple nightlife experiences designed to prank you and your friends."
Justin hopes his original concept becomes a popular new way to tour Las Vegas night spots. Passengers enjoy drinks at stops on the tour along with drinks and fun on the bus.
Surprise your wife, husband, friend, family member or group with an unforgettable evening. This would make a birthday or anniversary present for an unsuspecting person. The Game could be customized as the actors/actresses change their plots to suit any situation with advance arrangements.
Join the fun during the Las Vegas: The Game three hour scripted show with the VIP party bus tour. It stands-out from all of the regular bus tours. For information, call (702)-WISEGUY.

IDC: Netbooks Fuel European PC Market
The US market researcher IDC has recorded an increase of 1.8% in European PC sales for the last quarter of 2008. A weak rise compared to 2007.
Having enjoyed regular two figure growth in the past, the IDC sees the EMEA region split in two, with Western Europe providing acceptable figures while results in the east, Russia and the Ukraine in particular, proved disappointing.
A strong demand for portable devices, especially during the Christmas period, had a positive influence on overall sales, although desktops suffered under the continuing cannibalisation-effect of portables. IDC sees continued growth for the netbook market in 2009, while sales of PCs and notebooks expected to hover at current levels. One reason for this is the hesitant company invest ion as a reaction to the credit crisis.
Manufacturer HP extended its market lead in the third quarter, with a growth of 13% compared to the year before, with Acer next, followed by Dell and Asus. Netbook inventor Asus saw its sales, also thanks to netbooks, grow by 79%. With a plus of 0.4%, Dell seem to be running on the spot and Toshiba's rise of 42% landed them in fifth place.

Abuses are rampant on many reservations because the U.S. Government has set up a system that allows extensive abuse to occur unchecked and without repercussion.
Click here to read Chapter One
A beautiful 16-year-old hanged herself in the bedroom closet. Her brother stabbed himself in the chest. A two-year-old lay in a casket, bruised on both sides of her face. Gang members beat up a kid in a park across from the Crisis Nursery, and Auntie drinks herself to death on the couch. A four-year-old is left alone in the downtown park all night, the park where all the drunks hang out.
Tragedy is the norm in Indian Country. Why? Because of past atrocities? Racism? A genetic inability to handle alcohol?
Roland believed something else was far more destructive than any of those things.
This is the true story of a father who realized the reservation life and welfare policies were destroying his family. The U.S. Government has set up a system that allows crime and corruption to occur unchecked and without repercussion on many reservations – using and abusing a people group for the sake of power and money for the few at the top.
This is also the true story of a Native American father who experienced a miraculous transformation in his life – a transformation that not only brings him to lead his family out of alcoholic despair, but to lead his family in refusing further government entitlements and to fight tribal government corruption and sovereignty.
Roland grew up watching members of his family die of alcoholism, child abuse, suicide, and violence on the reservation. Like many others, he blamed all the problems on "white people."
His wife grew up in a middle class home in the suburbs. Raised in a politically left family, she also believed that all problems on the reservation originated with cruel treatment by settlers and the stealing of land. Meeting her husband, her first close experience with a tribal member, she stepped out of the comfort of suburban life into a whole new, frightening world.
After almost ten years of living with his alcoholism and the terrible dangers that came with it, they both came to realize that individual behavior and personal decisions were at the root of a man's troubles, including their own.
What cannot be denied is that a large number of Native Americans are dying from alcoholism, drug abuse, suicide, and violence. The reservation, a socialistic experiment at best, pushes people to depend on tribal and federal government rather than God, and to blame all of life's ills on others. The results have been disastrous.
Roland realized that corrupt tribal government, dishonest federal Indian policy, and the controlling reservation system had more to do with the current pain and despair in his family and community than what had happened 150 years ago.
Here is the plain truth in the eyes of one family, in the hope that at least some of the dying in Indian Country — physical, emotional, and spiritual — may be recognized and prevented.
- "Whether you are interested in federal Indian policy, social justice, or a good love story, you will find this book gripping." Congressman Kevin Cramer, North Dakota
- "…This very readable book is Lisa Morris's brutally honest telling of her family's life and experiences on reservations, including direct personal experience with the Indian Child Welfare Act, and tribal government jurisdiction over her husband and children…"Rick Jore, Former Montana Representative, House District 73
- "Roland truly has encouraged many people…the last trip to D.C. was a testimony to God's faithfulness." Rev. Robert Guthrie, B.Th. M.A. –Professor, Vanguard College, AB
- "'Dying in Indian Country' is a compassionate and honest portrayal…I highly recommend it to you!"Reed Elley, former Member of Parliament, Canada; Chief Critic for Indian Affairs in 2000; Baptist Pastor, father of four native and metis children
- "He was a magnificent warrior who put himself on the line for the good of all…. I can think of no-one at this time in this dark period of Indian history who is able to speak as Roland has." Arlene, tribal member
- "…hope emerging from despair… This is a story about an amazing life journey." Darrel Smith. Writer, Rancher, South Dakota
- "…truly gripping, with a good pace." Dr. William B. Allen, – Emeritus Professor, Political Science, MSU and former Chair of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights (1989)

According to the first serious and scientific study into LSD in nearly 40 years, the psychedelic can be a useful tool in aiding people with terminal illnesses to cope with death. The Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases reports that out of the twelve volunteers who took the banned substance within the controlled study, all of them felt 'significant reductions in anxiety' about their impending deaths.
Most of the participants tragically suffered from different types of terminal cancer and many of them ultimately passed away with a year of the study. 'All participants reported a personal benefit from the treatment, and the effects were stable over time.' 11 of the 12 subjects had not ever taken LSD before in their lives. 8 of the subjects were fed 200-microgram doses of the drug while the four others received a tenth of that amount.
After taking the substance, the subjects experienced ten-hour trips where they would discuss topics that ranged from their childhoods to their unsteady futures. One of the participants described the experience: "My LSD experience brought back some lost emotions and ability to trust, lots of psychological insights, and a timeless moment when the universe didn't seem like a trap, but like a revelation of utter beauty."
While the study proved to be small in physical size, the importance of it cannot be overstated. This opens the door for more legitimate studies into the medicinal qualities of drugs like LSD and also cannabis. Science will prove us right!

DEKALB, Ill. - Three days after the completion of the 2009 Mid-American Conference Men's Tennis Championships, the league's specialty awards and All-MAC teams were announced Tuesday. NIU freshman Pawel Poziomski highlighted the Huskies' representation, by being named the MAC Newcomer of the Year.
Poziomski becomes the third NIU player in program history to be tabbed the MAC Newcomer of the Year. Former letterwinner Brian Livingston collected the honor in 2006, while Eric Martinez was named Newcomer of the Year in 2002. NIU players have represented one of the league's specialty awards (Player of the Year, Newcomer of the Year or the Vredevelt Sportsmanship Award) in three-of the last four seasons.
Poziomski was also named second-team All-MAC. Joining him on the All-MAC squads were freshman Jurica Grubisic (first-team) and junior Javier Bernabe (second-team). NIU has had at least one player named to the MAC's first-team in each of the past three seasons.
"I'm really happy for the guys that were recognized, and particularly for Pawel (Poziomski)," said NIU head coach Pawel Gajdzik. "He and Jurica (Grubisic) both arrived at NIU under some unique circumstances, having to adjust to a new team, and in Pawel's case, a new culture, in a very short time.
"Pawel is a tough kid; he comes to practice every day looking to improve his game, and do what he can to help this team win. Jurica may have the most talent of any player in this league, and I expect him to make an even bigger step next season. He had a great start to the season, and finished strong, as well."
Poziomski enrolled at NIU in January, and immediately stepped in as the Huskies' primary No. 2 singles player. He finished the season with an 8-6 singles mark, including a 3-2 record in MAC play. At the tail end of the season, he was moved to the top singles position, and played in that capacity during the MAC Championships.
Poziomski helped NIU secure its first regular-season dual-match win over Ball State since 1974, by topping the Cardinals' No. 1 singles player, Jose Perdomo, in a hard-fought three-set (4-6, 7-6, 6-1) contest on April 18. He enjoyed one four-match winning streak from Feb. 7 to Feb. 21, along with a three-match flurry heading into the MAC Championship semifinals against second-seeded Toledo. Poziomski was also named the MAC Player of the Week on April 19.
Grubisic posted a 10-7 singles record in his freshman campaign, playing 15 of those matches at the No. 1 singles position. He started his career off hot, posting a 7-5, 6-3 win over Michigan State's Alex Forger, a top-30 regionally ranked player at the time. After dropping a shortened match against Wisconsin's Marek Michalicka (No. 36), Grubisic rolled off five-consecutive wins in non-conference play.
After playing through various injuries, Grubisic fought back to win three-of his final three matches, after being shifted to the No. 2 singles flight. He ended the season by recording a straight-set win over Toledo's Nutthavit Likitkumchorn in the MAC Championship semifinals. He was named the MAC Player of the Week on Jan. 22.
Bernabe enjoyed a breakout season in the first year under the tutelage of Gajdzik. He tallied a team-high 11 singles wins (11-7), spending time between the second-through-sixth singles flights. He went 6-4 in his final 10 singles matches, including four-straight before dropping a straight-set decision in the MAC semifinals.
Bernabe also enjoyed a four-match winning streak between Feb. 7 and Feb. 21, and during MAC play, posted wins over Buffalo, Ball State and Chicago State. Bernabe was named to the Academic All-MAC team last season.

Could You Ace the New GMAT?
As if applying to business school weren't stressful enough, M.B.A. hopefuls now have to contend with an even more complicated entrance exam. (Monday, the Journal wrote about how bookings for the earlier test were in high demand.)
Tuesday marks the official kickoff of the new Graduate Management Admission Test, which now includes an "Integrated Reasoning" section that is intended to measure how well applicants can handle complex charts and graphs and sort through lots of data in little time. The new addition is given a separate grade from the verbal and quantitative scores, and replaces an essay. (There will still be one essay in the exam.)
Many schools admit they're not yet sure how they'll weigh the results in admissions decisions.
These new questions aren't even easy to explain: One sample question includes a sortable chart that shows beef, soybean and other agricultural exports from Brazil and the country's share of world production. Another, referring to a new car, includes the following: "In terms of the variables S and E, select the expression that represents the number of liters of fuel used in 1 hour of driving under ideal driving conditions at a constant speed S, and select the expression that represents the number of liters of fuel used in a 60 km drive under ideal driving conditions at a constant speed S."
Try your hand at some examples from the new GMAT section and let us know when – or if – your head starts spinning! Share your comments below.

See Olive Garden Critic Marilyn Hagerty Review an NYC Dirty-Water Dog
The 85-year-old North Dakotan is on a dining tour of New York this week.
Unless your internet memory is as short as a fruit fly's life, you probably recall the recent hubbub over Marilyn Hagerty, an 85-year-old North Dakota newspaperwoman who shot to instant fame with a review of her town's new Olive Garden. Now that Hagerty's a virtual celeb, she's here in New York being squired around and wined and dined. But it's not all Le Bernardin and Dovetail (though she will reportedly dine at both places) — the Times took Hagerty to eat her first-ever street hot dog, and they wisely brought a videographer along. See the (sadly, not embeddable) video here. Judging by Hagerty's reaction (and her big F-U to last week's detractors), it seems like she'd make a pretty great New Yorker.

Is the Polanski Prosecution Warranted or Best Left Alone?
For the moment, there appear to be more questions than answers concerning the Roman Polanski situation. But here are the basics:
The Oscar-winning film director was arrested on Sunday in Zurich on a 31-year-old warrant issued in the U.S. for having sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977. Polanski was arrested, at the request of the United States, as he jetted into Switzerland to collect an award for his life's work.
Local police arrested Polanski at the airport upon his arrival in Zurich, where he was to receive a lifetime-achievement award at the Zurich Film Festival. Polanski was jailed pending a decision on whether to extradite him to the U.S., according to the Swiss Justice Ministry. Click here, here and here for stories from the WSJ, NYT and LAT, respectively. Click here for an earlier LB post on the Polanski matter.
Polanski fled the U.S. in 1978 after he pleaded guilty to having had sexual intercourse with girl — the allegation was that he gave the girl alcohol and part of a quaalude before raping her. Since then, he has lived in France, where he was born. French authorities refused to extradite him to the U.S., claiming that his crime didn't fall under those covered by treaties between the two countries.
Last week, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office got information that Polanski was traveling to Switzerland for the film festival, and worked through U.S. authorities to request that Swiss authorities detain him, said a district-attorney spokeswoman, Sandra Gibbons.
In an email, Manatt Phelps's Chad Hummel, a U.S.-based lawyer for Polanski, said: "An issue related to the Swiss extradition matter is presently being litigated before the California Court of Appeal. We had hoped that this would be determinative of this case."
So we do know quite a bit. Still, the questions lingering are manifold. Why did Switzerland agree to apprehend him now? After all, Polanski has traveled to Switzerland numerous times in recent years. Was the decision an attempt to ease tensions between the two countries in the UBS case? (A spokesman for the Swiss Ministry of Justice told the WSJ that that wasn't the case.)
And then there's this question: This case is over 30 years old. Should the U.S. — or the district attorney's office in Los Angeles — really be putting resources into pursuing it? After all, the victim in the case, Samantha Geimer, doesn't seem to be all that begrudging. Patrick Goldstein, an LAT columnist, isn't so sure that the case should be a priority. He writes:
But at a time when California is shredding the safety net that protects the poor and the unemployed, not to mention the budget of the public school system, you'd hope that L.A. County prosecutors had better things to do than cause an international furor by hounding a film director for a 32-year-old sex crime, especially one that Polanski's victim wants to put behind her.
LBers, any thoughts? The crime is disgusting and heinous. The crime is also a generation old. Should the U.S. and LA district attorney's office still be pursuing it — or should they let it go?

Selena Gomez has a new tattoo and while a celebrity getting inked isn't anything unique, it looks like her latest tattoo goes along with a theme she's been sprouting lately. The tattoo is in Arabic and it says "Love Yourself First," which is something she is going to need to do if she plans to make a clean break from Justin Bieber.
Selena has been somewhat floundering lately, which started even before she entered rehab and left treatment just 14 days into a six-week program at the Meadows Recovery Center in Wikenburg, Arizona. It seems as if Selena may be wrestling with her heart vs. her mind when it comes to her relationship with Justin Bieber.
The Huffington Post reports on July 16 that this new tattoo, which was inked by celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang McCurdy who is based in New York, is one of four tattoos that Selena is believed to have. She has a biblical verse on her right hip, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and a musical note on her wrist. She also has the number 76 on the back of her neck that represents the year her mom was born.
It looks like Selena has had a hard time severing herself from Justin Bieber as she appears to go back for more periodically. This flip-flopping with Justin isn't doing the smart 21-year-old much good when it comes to her lifestyle and reputation.
Since leaving the rehab early, Selena seems to have a self-help theme going on. She is posting cryptic messages to her Instagram account about self-improvement as if she's reminding herself she needs to work on taking care of herself first.
Her new tattoo seems to fall right into that theme of self-improvement. Mail Online suggests that the new tattoo is a message to Justin Bieber, that she's moved on. Selena was never the typical teenager or young adult when it came to gushing about her boyfriend. All through her relationship with Justin she's remained pretty tight lipped and the same holds true today. Not many would even venture a guess if the future will really be Justin-free for Selena. She doesn't share her relationship woes with too many people, maybe just a few close friends.
"Love Yourself First" is a good reminder to Selena that she can't drag herself down getting wrapped up in Bieber's toxic behaviors of the last few years. There's no doubt about the two having a serious and real romance for the first year or so when they first hooked up, but Selena's going one way and Justin is going another. She is building up her career and he appears honor-bound to knock his down.
The former Disney kid is a hard worker and has spent a lot of energy honing in on her career and she has a stellar reputation. Hanging around with Justin can only drag that reputation down to his level. His career was on top, but he has spent much time in the headlines with reports that he is acting like a young thug terrorizing his neighbors and having little regard for the law.
This isn't Selena's style at all and she can't afford to ride on the coat tails of the name Justin's made for himself. Just like that old saying; "If you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas," even if Selena's behavior hasn't changed, just being with Justin taints her reputation.
Just maybe this new tattoo, "Love Yourself First" might be the mantra that she needs to hold close and practice.

The baby doesn't need much to begin with, especially if you breastfeed. With mine we didn't find out the gender, so I went to garage sales and found a dozen little newborn girl and boy outfits really cheap. We bought one box of newborn diapers and some little blankets. That was all the baby really needed for the first couple weeks, and then we had a baby shower when everyone could actually meet the baby, not just rub my bulbous tummy. It worked out well. Do you know when you'll be able to move in with your dad?posted 08/16/2013 by a BabyCenter Member

Once again, our thanks to international trailers! On Monday, March 24, TVNZ ("The Walking Dead" New Zealand) debuted a new promotional video – and yes it is packed with spoilers! The video shows a lot of main events that will be taking place this Sunday for "The Walking Dead" Season 4 finale "A."
So will Rick, Carl, and Michonne arrive to Terminus this Sunday? They sure will, and it doesn't look like the warm welcome will last! In the promo, they seem to be welcomed by a male, and he appears to be showing them around.
What seems like Rick is heard saying, "We're all people." Then, Michonne and Carl are in a scene and they have their weapons raised. It looks like this is not a very happy place, but whether these are the cannibals or not remains to be known. The next clip shows someone on the roof shooting.
The next scenes go by very fast, but it looks like Daryl's group has caught up to Rick's and they are in trouble. Carl is trapped in a car as someone outside teases him. Check out the trailer for yourself before it's deleted.

A Method for Reducing Contention and Overhead in Worker Queues for Multithreaded Java Applications
By Janice J. Heiss on Jun 28, 2011
A java.net article, rich in practical resources, by IBM India Labs' Sathiskumar Palaniappan, Kavitha Varadarajan, and Jayashree Viswanathan, explores the challenge of writing code in a way that that effectively makes use of the resources of modern multicore processors and multiprocessor servers.
As the article states:
"Many server applications, such as Web servers, application servers, database servers, file servers, and mail servers, maintain worker queues and thread pools to handle large numbers of short tasks that arrive from remote sources. In general, a 'worker queue' holds all the short tasks that need to be executed, and the threads in the thread pool retrieve the tasks from the worker queue and complete the tasks.
Since multiple threads act on the worker queue, adding tasks to and deleting tasks from the worker queue needs to be synchronized, which introduces contention in the worker queue."
The article goes on to explain ways that developers can reduce contention by maintaining one queue per thread. It also demonstrates a work-stealing technique that helps in effectively utilizing the CPU in multicore systems.

Did You See This? Cody Zeller dribble, drive & dunk
Cody Zeller isn't your typical big man. The Indiana sophomore runs the floor as well as anyone, almost regardless of height, and he can handle the ball, too. He showed the latter skill on a highlight-reel dunk in Saturday's win over No. 10 Minnesota. And this one looked like a play a wing would make, as Zeller, from beyond the arc, penetrated and hammered it home. He even took a seat against the basket support after the poke. Watch the highlight now.

The Outer Limits of Reason
Many books explain what is known about the universe. This book investigates what cannot be known. Rather than exploring the amazing facts that science, mathematics, and reason have revealed to us, this work studies what science, mathematics, and reason tell us cannot be revealed. In The Outer Limits of Reason, Noson Yanofsky considers what cannot be predicted, described, or known, and what will never be understood. He discusses the limitations of computers, physics, logic, and our own thought processes.
Yanofsky describes simple tasks that would take computers trillions of centuries to complete and other problems that computers can never solve; perfectly formed English sentences that make no sense; different levels of infinity; the bizarre world of the quantum; the relevance of relativity theory; the causes of chaos theory; math problems that cannot be solved by normal means; and statements that are true but cannot be proven. He explains the limitations of our intuitions about the world—our ideas about space, time, and motion, and the complex relationship between the knower and the known.
Moving from the concrete to the abstract, from problems of everyday language to straightforward philosophical questions to the formalities of physics and mathematics, Yanofsky demonstrates a myriad of unsolvable problems and paradoxes. Exploring the various limitations of our knowledge, he shows that many of these limitations have a similar pattern and that by investigating these patterns, we can better understand the structure and limitations of reason itself. Yanofsky even attempts to look beyond the borders of reason to see what, if anything, is out there.
About the Author
Noson S. Yanofsky is Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He is a coauthor of Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists.
"Yanofsky takes on this mindboggling subject with confidence and impressive clarity. He eases the reader into the subject matter, ending each chapter with further readings. His book is a fascinating resource for anyone who seeks a better understanding of the world through the strangeness of its own limitations and a must-read for anyone studying information science."—Publishers Weekly, (starred review)
"Yanofsky provides an entertaining and informative whirlwind trip through limits on reason in language, formal logic, mathematics—and in science, the culmination of humankind's attempts to reason about the world."—The New Scientist
"In my view, Outer Limits is an extraordinary, and extraordinarily interesting, book. It is a cornucopia of mind-bending ideas."—Raymond S. Nickerson, PsycCRITIQUES
"The scope of the material covered is so wide, and the writing so clear and intuitive, that all readers will learn something new and stimulating."—Thomas Colin, Leonardo Reviews
"Yanofsky has brought together insights about quantum mechanics, logic, and mathematics under one rubric. Very few others could pull that off. This book has the potential to be a classic."

Can one preposition directly follow another in a sentence? The sentence in question is: "I am so impressed by the one-on-one time that we can take advantage of with the executives-in-residence program." I can just change the sentence, but I was also wondering about the rules of grammar in regards to this case.
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question

Other types of sentences I can think of which may exemplify a case where one preposition follows another in the same phrase belong, of course, to the category in which a second preposition, for collocation reasons, is placed right after a preceding one which, in turn, in part and parcel of a phrasal or multiword verb, as in:
"My brother always looks up to my father: he's like a reference point to him." "The sniper carefully zeroed in on the target assigned."
L2 Pre-Intermediate students often find similar examples rather tricky when they need to trasform them into the passive voice, as they tend to forget to keep the second preposition.
There's nothing ungrammatical about it: it's just a coincidence that the phrasal verb take advantage of is followed by with. However, as waiwai933♦ has sugggested, it's not very elegant, partly because of the preceding one-on-one time. Cases such as this are not to be confused with complex prepositions like in place of, up to and except for, which can be used without hesitation.
