What's Wrong With SOPA?
A growing chorus of opposition has emerged around the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) now pending in the House, as well as its Senate counterpart, the PROTECT-IP Act. If enacted, SOPA would provide unprecedented power for law enforcement and private actors to force service providers to block access to internet sites or shut off revenue streams. This panel explored the potential impact of SOPA on Silicon Valley, the concerns that have been voiced by legal scholars, technology companies, entrepreneurs, engineers and venture capitalists, and what the technology sector can do to make a difference in the outcome of this bill.
Panelists:
Mark Lemley - William H. Neukom Professor of Law, Stanford Law School, the Director of the Stanford Program in Law, Science and Technology, and the Director of Stanford's LLM Program in Law, Science and Technology. He teaches intellectual property, computer and Internet law, patent law, and antitrust. He is the author of seven books (most in multiple editions) and 119 articles on these and related subjects, including the two-volume treatise IP and Antitrust.
Josh Mendelsohn - Partner, Hattery. A veteran of a number of Silicon Valley companies, Josh's career has been largely focused on startups and nonprofits and helping them scale to support growing customer and user bases. Previously, Josh spent six years as a Program Manager at Google after starting his career with the Federal Government at the Department of the Treasury and Department of Defense. Josh has an A.B. in Government from Harvard University.
David Ulevitch - Founder & CEO, OpenDNS. Named one of BusinessWeek Magazine's Most Promising Entrepreneurs Under 30. In the time since its 2006 launch, OpenDNS has become the world's largest and fastest-growing DNS service provider. Today the company helps millions of people around the world, including students and employees at tens of thousands of schools and businesses, navigate the Internet safer, faster, smarter and more reliably.

In 1988, while employed by the Digital Equipment Corporation, he started working on the popular internet domain name server BIND, of which he was the primary author and architect, until release 8. After he left DEC in 1994, he founded Internet Software Consortium (ISC) together with Rick Adams and Carl Malamud to support BIND and other software for the Internet. The activities of ISC were assumed by a new company, Internet Systems Consortium in 2004. Although ISC operates the F root server, Vixie at one point joined the Open Root Server Network (ORSN) project and operated their L root server.

Soraya Chemaly on The Open Mind: Channeling Anger Toward Effective Accountability
On this week’s episode of The Open Mind, we welcome Soraya Chemaly to consider the counter offensive to reassert women’s status. Chemaly is director of the Women's Media Center Speech Project, and author of the forthcoming Simon and Schuster book, “Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger.” An award winning activist and writer, Chemaly focuses on the intersection of gender in our politics, media and culture. An explosive, poignant examination of contemporary womanhood, feminism, and it's plight and justified fury at the condition of the political system, Chemaly’s book is essential reading to understanding the gender inequities that pervade America.

Together, we discuss how to channel that anger towards constructive policy making and toward the goal that our politics, the US Senate, House of Representatives, and ultimately the White House will be more representative of the women. Chemaly notes that historically, power, rage, and anger are traits that are looked at negatively for women. However, Chemaly claims that rage is “not only a negative emotion that is destructive, it is a virtue and it should be considered a feminine virtue. Rage can be contemplative, it can be transformative. It's the first line of defense against injustice.”
Chemaly notes that even when women rage as a defense against injustices they face, they can be looked down on. In regards to Congress, our guest says “if a woman is outspoken in defensive women's rights [in Congress], she will not get as much traction [or] be as successful as a man who does it.” However, Chemaly believes that re-examining the way we look at gendered emotion could benefit both men and women. Studies show that adults and parents will talk to boys about anger but not about other emotions but will talk to girls about almost anything but anger. “If we could de-gender those emotions, if we could let boys have the full spectrum of emotions that they as human beings feel openly, we'd be a much healthier society. Same thing with girls and anger. We need girls and women to be able to say, I am angry without facing huge penalties.”

John Lawrence on The Open Mind: How to Reunite a Divided Congress
On this week's episode of The Open Mind, John Lawrence, Congress veteran and Former Chief of Staff to Nancy Pelosi, discusses the “highly polarized political environment that now pervades the House [of Representatives] and American politics.” John Lawrence has explored this topic through his Johns Hopkins University Press volume, “The Class of ’74: Congress after Watergate and the Roots of Partisanship.” But we weren’t always so sharply divided. Lawrence shares that “in the 1970s, out of the 435 people in the House of Representatives there were about 240 who constituted a middle ground. And about 29 out of the Senate…twenty years later, that number in the House had dropped to nine, and to three in the Senate. Today there’s none. There’s really nobody in that center.”

To understand where we are, Lawrence writes that “we must examine the complex politics that emerged in the wake of Watergate. A different kind of Congress, brought more reform to archaic House procedures, it brought generational change, emerging of the external activities of the streets, the campus, civil rights, anti-war movements, the battles for women’s rights, and consumer protection, the drive for energy innovation and transparent government.”
How do we get back to a more moderate, collaborative political environment? Lawrence argues that one of the key points is to reassert Congress as a co-equal branch of government, rather than having a dominate Executive Branch. The coming 2018 elections will be telling on how we move forward. The Democratic Party needs a clear, unified voice to win. But will they be able to turn interest into votes? And on the other side of things, will Republican voters support the ethics of the Trump Administration and the role their members of congress and senators are playing in it? Or will they be prepared to support a reasonable Democratic alternative?

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Amelia Mary Earhart (, born July 24, 1897; disappeared July 2, 1937) was an American aviation pioneer and author. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She received the United States Distinguished Flying Cross for this accomplishment. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots. In 1935, Earhart became a visiting faculty member at Purdue University as an advisor to aeronautical engineering and a career counselor to women students. She was also a member of the National Woman's Party and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment.During an attempt to make a circumnavigational flight of the globe in 1937 in a Purdue-funded Lockheed Model 10-E Electra, Earhart and navigator Fred Noonan disappeared over the central Pacific Ocean near Howland Island. Fascination with her life, career, and disappearance continues to this day.
