While this event is greatly valued, it is

difficult to discuss topics as serious as

these in only one hour.
“Blue Key Honor Society is looking to create a new series of conversation surrounding the First Monday Presentations, deemed Second Monday’s Round Table,” Stevens said. For two and a half hours, the entire student body is welcome to come to

dinner and reflect on the topic that had

been spoken about the week before.
“The Second Mondays Round Table seeks to bring student leaders from around campus together for continued conversation surrounding the First Monday Presentation,” Stevens said. Heather Horton, Director of the Wellnections on and around campus,” Stevens said. “Connections are vital to the vibrant community here at CC and the more connections student leaders can make, the healthier and stronger our community becomes.” During dinner, each table was given a piece of paper with a topic on it. Topics included “Future” and “Transitions.” These topics allowed students to branch out from the First Monday ideas, while still keeping the central topic in mind. Tables were allowed to choose how to connect the two ideas.

This is the first time Second Mondays

Round Table has been hosted, but it will likely continue into next block, “and hopefully into next year,” Stevens said. Students should feel free to bring in new speakers related to a topic worth talking about.
“First Mondays happen because people propose them. Anything you guys want to talk about on campus is possible,” Stevens said.

▶ ▶ Primary suspect in NAACP bombing indicted by federal grand jury.

44-year-old Thaddeus Murphy has been indicted by a federal grand jury this past Tuesday. The Gazette reports that Murphy was arrested after being the prime suspect in the Jan. 6 attempt-

ed bombing of the Colorado Springs Chapter of NAACP.

Motives were initially unclear since

the bomb went off between the NAACP and a nearby barbershop, but the or-

ganization was believed to have been the target of a hate crime. Murphy

confessed to having been targeting the NAACP building only because he was

targeting accountant Steve DeHaven,

who held tax records that he needed in

order to file for bankruptcy. NAACP president Henry Allen, Jr. reported to The Gazette that DeHaven had not held an office in the building for several years, making Murphy’s

claims questionable. It also remains unclear whether the bomber was aware that the accountant had died

back in June. Murphy is set to appear in

front of a federal court this upcoming Wednesday.

▶ ▶ Powdered-alcohol ban on the rise in Colorado Senate.

Spring semester feature: Get-Involved! profiles

Colorado College students can get involved.

As Lipsmark puts the final touches

on their new line of Palcohol, Colorado lawmakers are working on implementing what they are calling a “temporary ban” on powdered alcohol before it hits the shelves, or at least until there is a regulatory system for it in the States.

The Gazette reported that the product

is still waiting on federal approval as well as labeling approval from the Al-

cohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bu-

reau.

Palcohol is a pouch filled with power

that, when mixed with water, yields the equivalent alcohol content as a shot of rum or vodka. Law enforcements and many industries argue that this product would enable people to sneak alcohol more easily into bars, restaurants, schools, and other public places.

Brown, Advisor Dr. John Makay Graduate Faculty Representative Dr. Ron E. Shields Dr. Don McQuarie © 2007 Bradley C. Klypchak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Dr. Jeffrey A. Brown, Advisor Between 1984 and 1991, heavy metal became one of the most publicly popular and commercially successful rock music subgenres. The focus of this dissertation is to explore the following research questions: How did the subculture of heavy metal music between 1984 and 1991 evolve and what meanings can be derived from this ongoing process? How did the contextual circumstances surrounding heavy metal music during this period impact the performative choices exhibited by artists, and from a position of retrospection, what lasting significance does this particular era of heavy metal merit today? A textual analysis of metal- related materials fostered the development of themes relating to the selective choices made and performances enacted by metal artists. These themes were then considered in terms of gender, sexuality, race, and age constructions as well as the ongoing negotiations of the metal artist within multiple performative realms. Occurring at the juncture of art and commerce, heavy metal music is a purposeful construction. Metal musicians made performative choices for serving particular aims, be it fame, wealth, or art. These same individuals worked within a greater system of influence. Metal bands were the contracted employees of record labels whose own corporate aims needed to be recognized.

Inicialmente traça a compreensão do escândalo de espionagem americana, descrevendo-o e elencando fatos importantes para discussão, além disso, apresenta a legislação norte-americana que serve de sustentáculo à espionagem e mostra um breve comparativo tanto de delatores de espionagem governamental estadunidense, como de presidentes que se destacaram por tal prática. Em seguida, discorre sobre o que seja soberania, caracterizando-a como um elemento do Estado, bem como uma característica de governo e direito dos países. Compreendeu-se o conflito do direito a soberania e liberdade frente ao direito de conservação e defesa, tendo como norte o atual programa de espionagem americano, caracterizado a partir da compreensão de como se desenvolve a ciberespionagem e a espionagem econômica.

Let‘s go!!‖ she exclaimed, throwing out her arms and pacing the platform before inspirational graphics of glossy young businesswomen in managerial action poses. ―Super excited to have all of you here!!‖ ―Whoo!!‖ the young women in the audience replied. The camera, which was livestreaming the event in the Menlo Park, California, auditorium to college campuses worldwide, panned the rows of well-heeled Stanford University econ majors and MBA candidates. Some clutched copies of the day‘s hymnal: the speaker‘s new book, which promised to dismantle ―internal obstacles‖ preventing them from ―acquiring power.‖ The atmosphere was TED-Talk-cum-tent-revival-cum- Mary-Kay-cosmetics-convention. The salvation these adherents sought on this April day in 2013 was admittance to the pearly gates of the corporate corner office. ―Stand up,‖ the prophet instructed, ―if you‘ve ever said out loud, to another human being—and you have to have said it out loud—‗I am going to be the number one person in my field. I will be the CEO of a major company. I will be governor. I will be the number one person in my field.‘‖ A small, although not inconsiderable, percentage of the young women rose to their feet. The speaker consoled those still seated; she, too, had once been one of them.

Legal Responses and Countermeasures to National Security Letters Brett Weinstein INTRODUCTION In early June of 2013, governmental surveillance suddenly and dramatically entered the public consciousness, prompting a torrent of debate and backlash. The Guardian published a top secret court order requiring Verizon to hand over all telephone call records to the National Security Agency (NSA); the Washington Post disclosed a secret but widespread Internet surveillance program, and months of similar revelations followed, all stemming from leaks by former NSA contractor, Edward Snowden.1 As a result, the public and the press began to question the tools that the government uses for surveillance, including National Security Letters (NSLs), and the relationship between the government and the technology and telecommunications companies that seemingly possess all personal and private information generated in the modern, digital world.2 J.D.

Januar, 2018 Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Jens Loenhoff, Universität Duisburg-Essen Zweitgutachter: Dr. Lutz Hachmeister, Institut für Medien- und Kommunikationspolitik (IfM) Abstract When in the summer of 2013 whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed the scope of the mass surveillance programs conducted by the National Security Agency and its international partners, privacy activists launched several global online and offline campaigns to protect privacy and resist surveillance. Applying methods of social movement frame and discourse analysis, the dissertation seeks to analyze the various ways activists have tried to shape the privacy discourse in a post 9/11 ‘Surveillance Society.’ A close reading of activist materials and texts over the course of four campaigns – “Restore the Fourth,” “Stop Watching Us,” “The Day We Fight Back,” and “Reset the Net” – reveals a set of frame packages, which are juxtaposed with the media coverage the campaigns have generated. In subsequent semi- structured interviews with 21 activists from 14 countries, participants involved in the protest events were asked to critically reflect on framing choices, media dynamics and the degree of transnational cooperation among various privacy advocacy groups. The dissertation contributes to the field of grass roots political communication research by discussing the potentials and limits of anti-surveillance frames as well as providing a cultural and oral history of organized resistance against surveillance in the post-Snowden world.

    Thousands Gather in Washington for Anti-NSA 'Stop Watching Us' Rally

    Thousands gather in Washington for anti-NSA 'Stop Watching Us' rally Statement from whistleblower Edward Snowden read to crowd featuring groups from left and right of political spectrum Jim Newell in Washington theguardian.com, Saturday 26 October 2013 22.06 BST Thousands gathered by the Capitol reflection pool in Washington on Saturday to march, chant, and listen to speakers and performers as part of Stop Watching Us, a gathering to protest "mass surveillance" under NSA programs first disclosed by the whistleblower Edward Snowden. Billed by organizers as "the largest rally yet to protest mass surveillance", Stop Watching Us was sponsored by an unusually broad coalition of left- and right-wing groups, including everything from the American Civil Liberties Union, the Green Party, Color of Change and Daily Kos to the Libertarian Party, FreedomWorks and Young Americans for Liberty. The events began outside Union Station, a few blocks away from the Capitol. Props abounded, with a model drone hoisted by one member of the crowd and a large parachute carried by others. One member of the left-wing protest group Code Pink wore a large Barack Obama mascot head and carried around a cardboard camera. Organizers supplied placards reading "Stop Watching _____", allowing protesters to fill in their own name – or other slogans and occasional profanities. Homemade signs were more colorful, reading "Don't Tap Me, Bro" "Yes, We Scan" and "No Snitching Allowed". "They think an open government means our information is open for the taking," David Segal of Demand Progress, an internet activist group, said to kick off events.

    Kurt Cobain Anniversary Fieldwork Dates: 15th - 17th March 2019 Conducted by YouGov On behalf of YouGov Omnibus © Yougov plc 2019 BACKGROUND This spreadsheet contains survey data collected and analysed by YouGov plc. No information contained within this spreadsheet may be published without the consent of YouGov Plc and the client named on the front cover. Methodology: This survey has been conducted using an online interview administered to members of the YouGov Plc panel of 1.2 million individuals who have agreed to take part in surveys. Emails are sent to panellists selected at random from the base sample. The e-mail invites them to take part in a survey and provides a generic survey link. Once a panel member clicks on the link they are sent to the survey that they are most required for, according to the sample definition and quotas. (The sample definition could be "US adult population" or a subset such as "US adult females"). Invitations to surveys don’t expire and respondents can be sent to any available survey. The responding sample is weighted to the profile of the sample definition to provide a representative reporting sample. The profile is normally derived from census data or, if not available from the census, from industry accepted data. YouGov plc make every effort to provide representative information. All results are based on a sample and are therefore subject to statistical errors normally associated with sample-based information. For further information about the results in this spreadsheet, please contact YouGov Plc +1 888.729.0773 or email [email protected] quoting the survey details EDITOR'S NOTES - all press releases should contain the following information All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc.
