BAYOU CORNE — A dump truck poured yards of earth on top of a dirt pad being built up amid flooded swamplands in northern Assumption Parish.
A bulldozer smoothed out the pile, pushing it to the watery edge of the pad just west of an 8.5-acre sinkhole near the Bayou Corne community.
An excavator scooped up water from the flooded swamp and spread it over the newly leveled dirt. The bulldozer then gave the wet-down pad a final smoothing pass.
Dump, spread, compact. The process continued in that order Wednesday while workers and earthmovers set out to form the pad. As the day wore on, heavy dump trucks waited near La. 70 South for their turns to deposit more fill to build the pad.
A few hundred yards away from this noisy, diesel-fueled ballet, the fresh earth ended abruptly and a flooded road stretched into an inundated swamp, the long path ahead for Texas Brine Co. LLC's contractors and Bayou Corne.
Dubbed colloquially "the Rig Road," the unnamed oilfield track is seen as the means of providing access for as many as seven more vent well sites in the swamps. The wells would be placed in an H-like formation partially tracking the road and a gas pipeline right of way perpendicular to the road, officials said. The area is west of the sinkhole.
After weeks of delays over landowner access issues and public criticism for the slow pace of vent well installation, the seven wells — mandated in an order that state Conservation Commissioner James Welsh issued — are part of a push by Texas Brine to deploy 12 new vent wells in the area, company and parish officials said.
Texas Brine officials announced Jan. 12 that some land agreements were in hand and preparatory work would begin at well sites in the swamp Jan. 18. Once finished, the number of potentially working vent wells will total 16, parish and company officials said.
"We just had this issue of not being able to access a lot of these sites, and now that we're trying to complete that (access process), it has opened a floodgate of activity," Sonny Cranch, spokesman for Texas Brine, said Thursday.
Parish officials said the Rig Road and an accompanying dirt pad also were being raised to handle installation of a new 1,000-foot-deep seismic well and a separate well to test water in an underground aquifer.
Rig Road, along with the new pad, will serve as the hub needed to support sinkhole response and construction of a containment berm to isolate the briney slurry hole from the surrounding freshwater swamps.
Cranch added Thursday that company officials did not have a timeline for when the site preparation would be finished. He said 9,000 cubic yards of earth had been moved into the swamp through Wednesday.
Part of the earthen containment berm will do double duty as a stretch of the elevated Rig Road. Cranch said that a portion of the road must be engineered to serve both as a road and as a berm segment.
While Texas Brine is planning to drill 16 vent wells, there is no guarantee, as in the oil business itself, that all new planned wells will wind up flaring off gas. In the past months, some vent wells have not hit gas while others have filled with sand or hit hydrogen sulfide and been abandoned.
The Rig Road actually may be situated on prime territory for striking underground gas, however. A string of 11 new gas bubble sites obscured in the woods just west of the road was recently found, and bubbling sites could be seen in several locations just off the edge of the pad where contractors worked on Wednesday.
All of the vent wells are expected to reach about 160 feet deep and tap into the Mississippi River Alluvial Aquifer, where gas is trapped as a suspected consequence of the failed Texas Brine salt cavern collapse in the Napoleonville Dome, parish officials said.
The failure of the cavern's side wall deep underground led to a subsurface scrambling that not only released crude oil and gas but also caused the sinkhole to form, scientist have said.
The sinkhole's discovery Aug. 3 prompted an evacuation of 150 residences in the Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou communities, while the discovery of the gas has further re-enforced the need for the nearly six-month-old evacuation order to remain in place.
Four vent wells are now removing 34,000 cubic feet per day of natural gas from a reservoir of 50 million to 100 million cubic feet of gas underlying the communities.
As of 3 p.m. Thursday, a variety of wells, including the four now venting and some no longer operating, have removed a combined total of nearly 5.6 million cubic feet of gas, parish officials said.
John Boudreaux, director of the parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, told the parish Police Jury on Wednesday in Napoleonville that Texas Brine has plans to install five other vent wells while the Rig Road is under construction.
Two are partially finished on existing well pads on Texas Brine's lease. Two more are planned north of La. 70 near two existing vent wells. A fifth is planned south of La. 70 closer to the Bayou Corne community, he said.
"Their reasoning for doing this is until they get that road built up, the Rig Road built up, they don't have access to get a rig in and start vent wells that have been planned in the commissioner's orders, so they're actually doing these (wells) in preparation for that road to be completed," Boudreaux said.
The incremental progress has offered little respite for some, with a few Bayou Corne residents telling jurors Wednesday they were ready to move on and wanted buyouts.
"I don't care if they ever fix the damned sinkhole. It could go all the way to China as far as I care. I want to get on with my life," said evacuee Kenny Simoneaux, 56, a truck driver who is living with his wife in a camper in Pierre Part.
Cranch said Thursday all of Texas Brine's efforts and resources are currently directed toward the variety of steps required for sinkhole response, but added the company is "very aware of the buyout issue."

Michigan Tech Summer Reading Talk Brings Two Perspectives on Florida's Racial Violence
By Marcia Goodrich | Published
Before there was Birmingham, Ala., there was Jacksonville, Fla. And before there was Martin Luther King Jr., there was Harry T. Moore. First-year students in Michigan Tech's summer reading program packed the Rozsa Center Tuesday to hear two accounts of Florida's little-known reign of terror, perpetrated in the early 1950s by the Ku Klux Klan. Their presentation is available on iTunes U.
Susan Carol McCarthy, author of Michigan Tech's summer reading selection "Lay That Trumpet in Our Hands," conducted extensive research on the terror but didn't remember it because she wasn't yet born when Klan-led violence escalated in 1951. Growing up in a family that owned a Florida orange grove catering to the tourist trade, she enjoyed a relatively peaceful childhood and was only marginally aware of Klan activities in her hometown. She learned of the bombings and killings in 1991, when her father sent her newspaper clippings on an FBI murder investigation that had been sealed by the state of Florida for 40 years. He also included a personal letter detailing his cooperation with the FBI. McCarthy was inspired to write "Lay That Trumpet in Our Hands," a fictionalized account of the times and her father's efforts, seen through the eyes of Reesa, the older sister McCarthy had always wished she had.
McCarthy was joined on stage by Evangeline Moore, the daughter of civil rights activists Harry T. and Harriette M. Moore. He organized the first NAACP chapter in Florida in 1934 and traveled the state, setting up local chapters and registering black voters. "We weren't allowed to travel by bus or train, because they were so segregated," Moore said. Only in bigger cities, like Orlando, could they visit restaurants, because eateries in small towns didn't have the resources to accommodate both whites and blacks. He also investigated lynchings, which were uniformly ignored by local law enforcement. In Jacksonville, Moore and other members of the NAACP developed a manifesto calling for the most basic rights for people of color, a document that was later adopted by Martin Luther King.
By 1946, Harry T. Moore had registered 30,000 black voters in the Democratic Party and blocked efforts to turn the party into a whites-only private club. It may have been his success that prompted a cascade of Klan attacks, said McCarthy.
"Florida had more Klansmen and more black voters than any other state," McCarthy said. "That's a very combustible situation."
In March 1951, the Klan abducted and killed a local black man from Brevord County, which serves as the starting point for "Lay That Trumpet in Our Hands." A series of other attacks continued throughout the year against Catholic, Jewish and black targets, with dynamite being the weapon of choice. The attacks received so much national publicity that tourism suffered, prompting businesses to press for an end to the violence. Then Harry and Harriette Moore were murdered on Christmas Day 1951, when a bomb exploded under their house.
"Afterward, my sister and I were forced to travel from city to city because of threats on our lives," Evangeline Moore said. "We went to a different town every night."
But for most Floridians, "the reign of terror was over," McCarthy said.
Nevertheless, the FBI began investigating Klan attacks in Orange County, with her father's assistance. Six Klansmen were indicted by a federal grand jury, but when the state took jurisdiction, officials sealed the testimony and refused to prosecute. Forty years later, the records were opened and the Orlando Sentinel published the story that would form the basis for McCarthy's book.
Five years ago, Florida undertook a thorough investigation of the Moores' deaths and identified four members of the Apopka Klan as responsible. "If they had been alive, they would have been indicted," said Evangeline Moore. "At last, I could have some semblance of peace."
The Moore's family homesite has been made a cultural center and memorial park, and construction of the outside of a replica of their home is complete. "Soon it will be fixed up inside," she said. "I hope when that happens, I'll find more peace."
Racial violence and bigotry may have abated, McCarthy told the crowd, but racism is alive and well. By virtually every measure, blacks lag behind, and the number of hate groups is up 54 percent since 2000. "The color barrier continues to exist," she said. "Many Americans are choosing to be part of the problem, but I am full of hope the your generation will change this."
Afterward, students asked questions and commented on the lecture and McCarthy's novel. "I think it's a really good book," said Sherelle Martin of Chicago. In particular, it was interesting to read about civil rights from the perspective of a white family involved in the movement, she said.
"I thought it was pretty moving," said Mike Alexander of Ludington. "I never had any idea that Florida had so many problems."
"She really did her research," said Nick Blecha of Green Bay, Wis. "I was galled by the sheer amount of hate these people had. You hear about it, but you can't appreciate it."

It was a classic case of playing too hard too soon as Survivor outcast Kristina Kell found herself ousted after being on the wrong side of the numbers early on in the game.
In a new interview with PEOPLE, Kristina, 46, slams former Federal Agent? Phillip, calling him "insane and paranoid" and explains why she thought the duel match with Matt was unfair. Excerpts are below –
How did you end up on the wrong side of the numbers so early?
Well with Andrea, Ashley and Natalie, I have 20-plus years on those girls, so that was a barrier to start with. And then Rob came in as our "hero." Those girls were star struck by him. And I include Grant in that group of girls. They would walk down the beach together singing and holding hands. The three girls would bound after Rob like three Bo Dereks in 10. It was a ridiculous situation. So I was stuck with the older folks in the tribe.
Speaking of the older folks, you really did not get along with Phillip.
He just had this frantic, insane, mental diarrhea that would just flow from his mouth and infect everyone there. He was paranoid. One day, his underwear flew off a clothesline while it was drying and he accused everyone of trying to steal his underwear. He's just insane and paranoid and delusional … and an idiotic blowhard.
You looked ready to collapse when you dueled with Matt.
It was tough. I was at a disadvantage. I hadn't eaten in a day and a half; I hadn't had water. I hadn't slept. And then I had to go move heavy blocks around. I almost fainted a few times but my ego just wouldn't let me faint on TV. You think they could have given me the keys and the stick, but no, they give me the heavy blocks. And they put me up against this 22-year-old Adonis who had gotten a good night's sleep and been on the island for a few days. Matt played hard and I unfortunately lost.
And airing tonight on CBS is a new episode of Survivor during which Matt and Krista duel on Redemption Island and bond over a luxury item. While back at camp, Phillip seeks to weaken Rob's powerful alliance. The episode airs at 8/7c.

Support Level
|This article is part of WikiProject Definitions. Consider editing to improve it. View articles referencing this definition.
Support level is the price level, which, historically, a security has had difficulty falling below. Typically, the support level can be thought of as the level at which many buyers tend to enter a security. [1] Support levels are often used in technical analysis.
The original low price level becomes a support area because investors will believe that prices will again rise above that level. [2] This means the price is more likely to "bounce" off this level rather than break through it. However, once the price has passed this level, by an amount exceeding some noise, it is likely to continue dropping until it finds another support level. [1]
From 14c., from, bring up, up from under, portare "to carry." Sense of "that which supports" is from 1560s. [2]

PASADENA, Calif. – The most high-tech Mars rover ever built has landed on the red planet.
NASA says it received a signal from the Curiosity rover Sunday night after a plunge through the Martian atmosphere described as "seven minutes of terror."
The rover is the size of a small car, so engineers had to come up with a new way to set it down. For the first time, cables were used to lower the rover inside of a giant crater.
At $2.5 billion, it's the most ambitious and priciest Mars mission yet. For the next two years, the rover will drill into rocks and scoop up soil. It will be exploring whether the planet's environment could have supported life in the form of microscopic organisms.

Tip of the Day:
Open up the player with random anime in it.
Open another instance of the player.
Press 'PrintScreen.'
There, the first player instance will be blank, but the second one will display normally (although I have noticed that the colours won't be the same).

Shibuya's Top GAL!
Screen Caps
I was trying to make a screencap of this scene in one of my video files. But it come out messed up. Like you only see part of the screen, or too much black space and when I closed the video file, the entire image went away. I tried capping it with Print Screen and with the screen cap option in Paint Shop Pro. Maybe it's a video file and thats why. but does anyone know what I should do?

The problem is that the image is on the overlay. When video acceleration is used the image is sent directly to the video card with only a section of the screen (marked by the color of your media player's blank screen) that shows what is on the overlay. This means that you can't use Print Screen to take a picture of the video. To deal with this problem either turn off video acceleration or else use BS Player's screen capture function. I don't watch anime with BS Player, but I do use it for screeshots.

(visited by John Guic, Sidi Mohamed Cheiguer and Yahya ould Nana)
04-May-2007 -- The point faces the Guelb Zefal which gives the name for the entire zone. There is no road at all to reach the point. The closest access is the track Fdérik-Choum going along the ore railway from Zouérate to Nouadhibou. The point remains at 27 km west from the railway station Touajil.
The track to Touajil is full of dunes and dry grass clumps. To reach the point from Touajil you must follow a kind of halfway flat and quite hard sand (reg), oriented northeast to southwest between the soft dunes. No clumps, so you can drive 60 km/h. You must let the rocky hills named Dra` el Kelba at your left hand. After about half an hour you see the Guelb Zefal. The point stands at 2.5 km from this Guelb.
It was 18:30 when we reached the point so you can see pictures of the sunset behind the Guelb Zefal. The point was visited by Sidi Mohamed Cheiguer, CEO of CID, an organization and management company acting for mining companies, Yahya ould Nana, and John Guic.

The whitetail world lost a friend and big-buck hunting expert with the sudden passing of Gerald "Gabe" Shaffner of West Union, Ill.
On Nov. 7, 2011, Shaffner came home from his day of hunting and told his wife, Sharon, "I just killed the biggest buck of my life."
Little did he know, these words would ring true.
On Monday, Feb. 13, Shaffner was killed in an accident while cutting firewood near his home. He was 69.
Shaffner was well-known in whitetail circles and had killed more bucks registered in the Illinois big-buck program than anyone else. He had also just recently wrote several chapters for a book being assembled by frequent Deer & Deer Hunting contributor Don Higgins. We will provide a link to this book on our website when it is available later this year.
The Deer & Deer Hunting staff sends its heartfelt thoughts and prayers to Gerald's family, friends and relatives.

Micron plans to force itself into tablets, ultrabooks
Aims to pump up its fab before entry
Micron is going to enter the market for tablet and ultrabook flash next year with mSATA solid state drives.
Kevin Kilbuck, Micron's marketing director for NAND solutions, is quoted in the Taipei Times as saying Micron is talking to ultrabook makers about mSATA interface SSD supply next year.
It is increasing the output of its Singapore fab by 60 per cent, which is also roughly the percentage demand growth rate he sees coming in the NAND market in 2012. The plant could produce up to 60,000 wafers a year, which number could double if Micron put the necessary capital investment in.
Kilbuck said Micron would move to 20nm technology at the plant next year. Micron and Intel's IMTF joint venture has just announced the beginning of mass production of a 128Gbit, 20nm chip.
Meanwhile Hynix has announced 15nm NAND technology with volume production expected by mid-2012.
Controllers for Micron's SSDs currently come from Marvell, and Micron is looking for controller chippery from Taiwanese suppliers next year as well. Possibly suppliers could be Phison Electronics and Solid State Systems Co. ®

On Monday night, Bachelorette star Ashley Hebert narrowed down her picks to the final 2!
One of those lucky men is J.P. Rosenbaum who is now the target of some not so flattering tabloid reports. According to a new cover story by In Touch Weekly, J.P. is a jealous and controlling person who is still not over his ex.
The mag claims that J.P., who seems like a sweet and happy guy on the show, has been living a double life for the sake of the cameras. "J.P. was severely depressed over the breakup when he tried out for the show," reveals a Bachelorette insider. In fact, "he only tried out for The Bachelorette at the insistence of a friend who wanted to snap him out of his heartbreak."
That ex is Stephanie Kerman, a 27-year-old publicist in NYC, who reportedly broke J.P.'s heart back in 2008, and has since moved on with another serious boyfriend. A source however insists J.P. just can't seem to totally move forward. "After she broke up with him, he would send her flowers at work, and I remember him showing up at the office more than once," a friend of Stephanie's explains.
The friend adds that jealousy and other factors led to their breakup. "I think he is a very jealous person," says the friend. "Stephanie met someone she was attracted to, and that was the beginning of the end of their relationship… J.P. was a nice guy, but he seemed a little controlling."
And this might be a problem for Ashley if J.P. is the guy she is currently engaged to. In Touch adds that even though J.P. has told Ashley he loves her and might be receiving the final rose on the finale, he may still be too damaged by "the one that got away" to live happily ever after with Ashley.
You can read more about this story in the latest issue of In Touch Weekly.

Last week a group of jihadis so violent that they were expelled from al-Qaida swarmed from Syria into Iraq, captured Mosul (remember the U.S. sacrifices made in that city?) and Tikrit and marched on Baghdad. When President Obama finally addressed the matter on Friday, he
have communicated America's disengagement more effectively had he given his news conference poolside, with a cocktail in his hand. To the Iraqis watching, the presence of Marine One sitting directly behind the President, waiting to be boarded, communicated the message well enough.
Dexter Filkins, who spent years covering Iraq for The New York Times, wrote last week that in securing Iraq, "(b)y 2011, by any reasonable measure, the Americans had made a lot of headway but were not finished with the job. For many months, the Obama and Maliki governments talked about keeping a residual force of American troops in Iraq,... The negotiations between Obama and Maliki fell apart, in no small measure because of a lack of engagement by the White House."
We saw that same lack of engagement on Friday. With Iraq, his goal was not to end the war or protect the people, but to end U.S. involvement so he could use the money for his personal priorities.
It was a stunning abdication of American leadership, and its awful, bloody consequences play out as Obama basks in the California sun.

Amherst couple's foreclosure nightmare is a real-life cautionary tale
The Cottones' first indication that something was amiss came in a panicked call from one of their tenants, who had just opened an envelope from the City of Buffalo.
Their house in Parkside had been sold.
"You can't imagine the stress of thinking the unthinkable, that something has happened and your house is gone," Jerry Cottone said.
An unpaid garbage fee of about $600 had landed their house on the city's auction list.
The Cottones eventually won their house back in court. But in the meantime, they had to hire a lawyer, get a judge's order, miss work and spend countless hours worrying that they had lost their investment property.
Their situation raises the question of what lengths the city or any municipality must pursue when notifying homeowners of delinquent fees and taxes, and the consequences of foreclosing on properties that owe small amounts.
Jerry and his wife, Catherine Cook-Cottone, acknowledge they forgot about the garbage fee when they moved to Amherst in 2010 and didn't join the city's rental registry, which allows the city to find property owners who live elsewhere. But they said they received no notice that their house was in danger of being foreclosed. They did receive other city bills at their Amherst home and paid them, so they thought the city knew where they were.
"At 6 o'clock at night, your tenant calls you and says the letter says the house has been sold, and you have no idea what the heck could be going on," said Jerry Cottone.
He got the call in early December, five weeks after the house was sold.
The Cottones lived in the Woodward Avenue house for 10 years and kept it as an investment property when they moved.
They said they never saw the garbage fee bills sent to Woodward.
After two years, the unpaid fees amounted to about $600, so the city sold their two-family house, assessed at $147,000, for $110,000 in the city auction.
The city sends out some 14 notices to a property owner that their home is on the city's auction list, warning them to pay up or lose the house, but the Cottones said they never received any.
But when the city sent a notice to Woodward that the house had been sold, their tenants opened it and immediately called them.
The tenants also routinely gave them junk mail, such as advertisements for sweepstakes, the Cottones said, so they doubt foreclosure notices from the city were being discarded. The tenants submitted statements to the court saying they never received the city's notices.
The city's top attorney, Corporation Counsel Timothy A. Ball, insisted that the city did indeed send notices to the Woodward Avenue house, as it does for every property whose owners have fallen behind in their bills.
"The city complied with all laws, rules and regulations," Ball said.
First-class letters to the Woodward Avenue property from the city were not returned to the city as undeliverable, though a certified letter was, according to the city's submission to the court.
Property owners who have lost their house at the auction but were not notified is something attorney Paul B. Curtin hears often enough for him to think it's a problem.
"People come to me in huge, major crisis," said Curtin, who works for Legal Aid Bureau of Buffalo and represents low-income defendants who are in danger of losing their homes. "Why would so many people on such a regular basis try to game me with that excuse?"
4,235 properties at risk
The Cottones' story unfolds as the city is compiling a list of 4,235 properties whose owners have fallen behind on their bills and are in jeopardy of being foreclosed upon. Forty-four percent of those properties owe only the city's garbage fee, and in 56 of those cases, less than $500 is owed.
The city has made changes to its billing and foreclosure processes, such as reducing the foreclosure fee and reversing a policy that called for user-fee bills to be sent out once a year instead of every quarter.
And for those who know their home is being foreclosed upon, the city makes an effort to keep them in their homes by working out payment plans during a four-day marathon in the basement of Erie County Court the week before the auction. But there is still more to do, housing advocates said. Out of all of the properties on the current foreclosure list, 1,843, or 44 percent, owe the city less than $750 in fees and taxes.
In a city where there is so much vacant housing stock, the city's policy of foreclosing on properties that owe at least $200 doesn't make sense, said Joseph A. Kelemen, executive director of the Western New York Law Center.
"I would rather see them sue people for user fees than take their homes for $500 or $1,000," Kelemen said.
Housing advocates note that banks must meet many notification requirements when a foreclosure is imminent, and they said municipalities should also have a greater burden to notify property owners.
"I think there might be an argument that they should go to extra lengths early in the process to make sure that people's addresses are as up to date as possible," Curtin said.
"A notice like that should really stand out, at a minimum," he said.
The city should merge its address databases, so if property owners changes their address for their sewer bill, the address where other city bills are sent should also change, they said.
"We're talking about taking someone's home here," Kelemen said.
Before the auction is held every fall, property owners who owe the city past-due bills are charged a $150 fee March 15, which rises to $305 after May 1 if the bill is not settled. Properties that remain in foreclosure will be auctioned at a multiday event in the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.
'In no way' abandoned
The Cottones don't know where the bill for the user fee was being mailed, and the couple did not pay it online.
They would have happily paid it and avoided the time spent in court and lawyer's fees of $1,500, they said.
"The feeling that I got was that this couldn't happen in the United States, that someone could completely sell our property," said Catherine Cook-Cottone.
The water bill for the Woodward house, which is mailed by the city's hired vendor, came to the Cottone's new address, as did their sewer bill, and they paid their taxes online.
But they didn't know about the city's rental registry, which allows the city to know how to contact property owners who live elsewhere.
The Cottones stressed that they are not neglectful property owners, that they invested $120,000 into the house. They spent 10 years living on the second floor and renting out the downstairs.
After the call from the tenant in early December, Cook-Cottone spent the evening writing emails to anyone she could find on the city's website and researching the auction process online.
The couple hired an attorney, who filed an order to show cause. That order stopped the deed from transferring to the buyer, Waseem M. Elwaseem.
The proceedings dragged through the holidays, but ultimately, State Supreme Court Judge Thomas P. Franczyk decided in the Cottones' favor.
"He could have easily said, this is it, you're done, and that would have been it," Jerry Cottone said.
Buyer is out a house
But now Elwaseem feels the rug has been pulled out from under him, too.
"My clients had made arrangements to leave where they were living," said Elwaseem's attorney, Robert M. Goldstein. "My clients did nothing wrong. They did everything right."
Following the judge's decision, the Cottones paid $1,181.86 – the amount of user fees, penalties and interest that they owed – and the city refunded Elwaseem what he had paid for the property.
The city's Law Department represented the city through the action and defended the integrity of the city's process. The Cottones said the attorneys there were attentive and dealt honestly with them.
The Cottones still haven't figured out where the garbage fee bills went. They tracked down the mail carrier and asked if she had been delivering notices from the city to their Woodward home, but the carrier couldn't remember, they said.
Jerry Cottone works for the city school district, and both Cottones are easy to find through an Internet search, they said.
There is no mortgage attached to the Woodward home, so a bank, which could have alerted the Cottones, was never notified.
"We thought we were doing everything right," Catherine Cook-Cottone said. "We had no sense that there was something we weren't doing or that we should do."

"Day by day and almost minute by minute the past was brought up to date. In this way every prediction made by the Party could be shown by documentary evidence to have been correct; nor was any item of news, or any expression of opinion, which conflicted with the needs of the moment, ever allowed to remain on record. All history was a palimpsest, scraped clean and reinscribed exactly as often as was necessary."
—1984 [1949] George Orwell
Prior to 1933, the U.S. Post Office and U.S. Customs could arbitrarily declare a book "obscene." These agencies had the right to seize and destroy copies of the work, and publishers found distributing the books were actually prosecuted and could face jail time. Ulysses was banned as obscene in the U.S. for 15 years. One of the founders of Random House had to sue to get the ban lifted. It was that decision that helped changed the attitudes of the court system towards controversial books.
1984 was banned? wow. irony. big brother is watchign you.
it is horrible that books CAN be banned!
hello.... i am writing a paper about banned books... i need some help to get started. I was wondering if i could use some of these comments for my paper! Could anyone help me? Thank you
[Editor's Note: Yes, you are welcome to use some of the comments for your paper. However, we request that you add Alternative Reel as one of your sources in both your footnotes and endnotes, as well as email us a copy of your finished paper so we can post it online at our discretion. Thanks and good luck!]
I really wish people weren't such idiots. When they say 'banned books' they don't mean the GOVERNMENT BANNED THE BOOKS, they mean SCHOOL DISTRICTS have banned the books. And they do NOT mean the books are CURRENTLY banned, simply that they HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY banned more than other books. And I understand all you kids who are just now reading these books because they are required reading, but really you should be reading them anyway! And add Brave New World, A Clockwork Orange, Animal Farm, and Lord of the Flies to the mix also. A good book will stimulate the mind, will make you think. Maybe if people read more of these books, such igorance wouldn't exist.
i had to read 6 out of 10 of these books for high school english classes. funny world.
I'm surprised that you didn't put "The Satanic Verses" as number one, I can't think of a more high-profile case of a book being banned in recent years. I'd recommend anyone pick up a copy of most of these books, they're all good reads, except "Catcher in the Rye", I'd ban it for being the most boring and pretentious book ever personally :)lol
How strange. I have been required to read 7 out of the 10 for my 5 years in Honor classes. I don't seem to be effected at all. And to the parents trying to get books banned for foul language, go walk to halls of your cities high school. .. you will hear worse
I've read all of these books, and they are all fine pieces of literature. There is no reason they should be banned, if you don't want to read it then don't. Don't ruin it for everyone else.
I think you weirdys should get laid.
here is my paper.... Banned Books! Good or Bad? By: Anastasha Bryant Why are so many good books being banned from schools libraries? Many people have let their own opinion be heard about banning books. Are parents and teachers really just that blind at the fact they are depriving the students of classics? One of the most frequently challenged books in the U.S. is Harry Potter by J.K Rowling. Harry Potter is one of the most popular book series among children. I don't know what goes on in the challengers' brains, but I do know what some of their issues are. I am going to be voicing my own experiences as a reader. Another recent study shows that many parents feel their child is to0 innocent to read some of the scenes in the classic books. Why do parents feel their children are too delicate to read the romance, adventure, or any other classics they read as a child? I have read many classics, including To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I have also read many other books on the banned books list. I personally do not see why they would be banned! They are great books with nothing but good writing in them. For example, many of the books I read take you into the book. What I mean by that is you don't get to just read the story. The stories are so detailed that you feel as if you are there in the book watching the story unfold. Many people say that no one should have the authority to take away any books from a child. I completely agree with this statement. If adults take away our books then we will feel pressured into reading books we do not like. If we read books we don't like then we will stop reading. I know that sounds like an overstatement, but this is true. One of the currently challenged books is the popular novel series by J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter. According to recent studies, the main reasons parents have to ban Harry Potter are they say it teaches witchcraft. Many parents say their child should not be allowed to read these books because it teaches the wrong morals. They say it teaches the young readers that you can do pretty much anything and then magic can get you out of consequences. Is this true? No it is not. I can say as a reader that this is completely false. Harry Potter teaches good morals and true friendship. It teaches that if you want something bad enough you will act regardless of the consequences. That is what the children of today need to be learning. J.K. Rowling wrote Harry Potter putting these intentions into a fun creative way. Before making false accusations maybe the challengers should read these books first. There may be hope of silencing them if they would just read each word of each book they challenge. I have heard many statements on the issues of banning books. One of the many that stuck with me the past year is, "If Harry Potter is being banned because it teaches wrong morals, then shouldn't the Twilight series be banned to?" That is something to think on. Twilight is a very popular series among teens. It is about an average girl who falls in love with a very strange vampire. She enters the world of magic and mystery as she pulls together the pieces of her love's strange life. This book does not have the same morals as Harry Potter. It has a very different set of morals. One of the best morals is that love conquers all. Yet Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn all have some scenes that are probably more inappropriate than Harry Potter. So ask yourselves if banning harry Potter has anything to do with morals. I have many friends that feel strongly about this. One of them talks about what I just wrote, proving my point. "Riko - 2008-05-12 09:34:13 _Vin Lunney Jr._ said this: "Why isn't the bible banned?? Dr. Sues' is apparently subversive but it's ok for the bible to have nudity (Adam and eve) incest, murder (god orders death of men, women and children in violation of his own commandment during the Jews conquest of cannon) (lot) bigamy (Abraham, Jacob and Moses all were allowed more than one wife) and that charming story of Sodom and Gomorrah that says a good father throws his daughters at a crowd of bisexual rapists over the lord's angels who have divine powers. I would have my kid read ANY of the banned books before I let them near the bible. They might get ideas..." Don't take this the wrong way, but isn't this-too- Ironic that, on this site, we are all trying to state that it is wrong for books to be banned, that it is a violation of people's rights, but here you sit knocking down the bible...I am a Christian, and even I have problems with the bible, many actually, but have you ever gone through the bible or have you-like most people-nitpicked through it and only found the parts that you don't like While we're at it why don't we ban the Koran, The book of Mormon, books on witchcraft, The book of Satanism...etc. Oh wait...that's right...That would be religious discrimination and also a banning of books" This is a quote of what they said. This particular comment caught my attention quickly. [https://www.alternativereel.com/includes/top-ten/display_review.php?id=00002] This is a very good point to consider. No one should have to go through life being deprived of great books. We as students feel picking out what books we read is one of the only choices we have left to make. If you take this choice away from us we feel others are controlling our lives and we will respond angrily. Many people only read the books that they feel comfortable reading. We all read at different levels. When you push students to read certain books we don't enjoy them as much as if we picked them ourselves. I would finally like to ask you to stand with me and the thousands of people fighting to preserve all the wonderful books. We should stand together and fight for our children's, grandchildren's, and even our great grandchildren's right to read. Think about what has been said in this essay before choosing your side. And by the way, WE know the government can't ban books you neurotic freaks! It is sad that people can be as stupid as to think the government can ban books. Everyone is totally pissed about SCHOOLS banned the books!
Writing Girl is right, people who assume we are stupid enough to believe the government put these bans on books are indeed neurotic freaks. Everyone knows the First Amendment prevents them from doing so. The schools and public librarys can ban books, also book stores can ban them from their stores, but the government wouldn't dare mess with them. Please just shut up if you don't know what neither you nor what we are talking about. We feel very strongly about this and will set you straight when messing with our beliefs.
To the loser who recons the bible should be banned it was try reading history maybe they should ban more anti religus freaks who think you know everything but crupt the morals of genarations and think nothing of the price they dont and wont pay themselves
i agree with writing girl those books are great to read
I must be pretty lucky because my school doesn't ban most of these books. I have actually read several of them as school assignments.
I belive that books shouldn't be banned from schools just because of there authers or some words books are books thats all there is to it.
thank you for the positive feed for my paper.... I got a 100 on it and I am so happy..... To: Erin..... MOST of these books are no longer banned in schools, but at one point in time they were ban! To: deco..... I do agree that the bible should not be involved in schools, unless there are indeed classes on religions around the worlds...
Writing girl28- I'm happy for your A !!!!!
When or where were these books banned, and for what reasons?
books are banned,or kept out of libraries,or not taught in schools to control the way people think.if everbody is taught to think the same way,then the likelihood of dissension or people questioning what is being done is greatly reduced. two good books to read are: catch 22 by joseph heller one flew over the cuckoo's nest by ken kesey
Tis I again! I need help on writing and have a few questions: My questions on writing are {or is since I only have one} Can you be over descriptive? And my other question is: I am writing another paper and I need new comments and such! I was wondering if I could possibly interview someone who is here regularly? And then use them and this site in my paper!
Wow some people who've posted in the past were idiots. About Salman Rushdie, I know The Satanic Verses (and possibly all of his works) is/are banned in Iran, but never in the U.S. Another great read by him is Shalimar The Clown. And it seems pretty obvious that 1984 was banned by Western governments at some point or other...(I've yet to read Fahrenheit 451 and a couple others on the list), but never has a book rung more true in today's society than 1984. Orwell was a genius.
Banned book drive me crazy sometimes. Some of these book are amazing to read. I dont understand why parents go crazy about profanity, racial slurs, depression, violence, sexuality, and more in books when their kids are exposed to it everyday in movies, tv, heck even in life. I would understand if it was, for example: "To Kill a Mocking Bird" to kids in 5th or 6th grade. But teachers typically have better common sence. I dont know, maybe its just me but, i see no need for parents to have books banned.
A good list with some of my favourite books in it... if your definition of "book" is "a novel written in English".
I personaly can see the reason for 1984's ban the sexual content in it is one reason, but there is another the revolt against a larger power can be taken in a perspective of the people going against the government. So obviously they wouldn't want people to read it. It is a great book and im glad that we can get past the ideas that got it banned in the first place and have the people of the world enjoy it.
these books are gay
bullshit. the Anarchist's Cookbook will not get you 10 years in jail.
much sillyness in the comments here, a quick google of the various title will reveal all these books were banned somewhere, at some point. Mostly from US schools and public libraries..for example Fahrenheit 451 was only banned by the school board of Mississippi as far as I can tell. A few were banned from sale entirely, Lady Chatterley for example was banned in UK Canada and Australia, (but only censored in the US). 1984 seems to have been banned in the USSR. As for the "Anarchists Cookbook" which I think is what is meant by "the Anarchists Handbook". Not only is it not illegal to own, or sell, its readily available on Amazon.com - Though that's not to say it would be "evidence" if "Big Brother" took an interest in you...
Top 10 Banned Books of the 20th Century ? You mean Top 10 english written banned books, right ? Do you know Vassili Grossman ? Wikipedia is your friend !!!!
I read and watched Fahrenheit 451 for the first time this year and it really is the most Ironic Banned book I have ever read why exactly was it banned?
the funny part is that u have to read to kill a mockingbird for english and same with fahrenheit 451
Why they kept banning books! This is the Secret! Ten Commandments for Borrowers of Books "Who goeth a-borrowing goeth a-sorrowing" 1. Thou shalt not buy what thou canst borrow. 2. Thou shalt take care of thine own books, for thy babies and thy puppies will find as much delight in borrowed books as playthings. 3. Thou shalt not cut the leaves of a book with a butter-knife, nor decorate the margins with jam in imitation of the old illuminated manuscripts. 4. Remember that the most artistic form of appreciation is to repair the torn leaves of a book with postage-stamp edging, and to arrange the red and green lines alternately. 5. Honor the opinions of an author as expressed in his book, but shouldst thou disagree with his views, pencil thine own notes in the margins. By so doing thou wilt not only give evidence of thy vast learning, but will irritate subsequent readers who will, unmindful of thy superior knowledge, regard thee as a conceited ass. 6. Thou shalt choose thy books from amongst those most worn. Shouldst of knowing that many of thy neighbors have been "had" likewise. 7. Thou shalt consult the librarian when thou knowest not what thou requirest. Should he be unable to assist thee,, substitute "in" for "con". 8. Thou shalt no pay fines on principle (current cash is much to be preferred). 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against the library assistant, saying: "He taketh the best books and reserved them for his friends" 10. Thou shalt not covet the books that thy neighbor hath appropriated.
i love how books with a deeper meaning than what it says in the text are being banned, yet through our radio waves on hip hop stations we hear songs constantly about woman, getting money and clubbing. Yet no one is opposing that? All hypocrites if you ask me
The anarchist's handbook". Its banned because its a How to book on making explosives and posession isnt a crime, but selling it is........ NOT!!! You can own this book and buy this book, but if you get caught making any of the items in the book, then you're screwed
banning books is like prohibiting living things to breath,or to admire the trees growing around us.it is all nonsense really,a book no matter how obscene or immoral is something a creative mind produced and has merits and beauty all on it's own and they should be appreciated or at least not abhorred by narrow minded people phony and stupid enough to see it'w worth.

After more than a decade, this memory lingers…
It was another day in Paradise. My daughter and her boyfriend, my grandson Lee, my better half and I were enjoying a fine sunny time on Alabama's Gulf Coast.
Better Half and I were dressed for dinner – bermuda shorts, polo shirts and Sperry Docksiders. Our attire was nearly identical, after all, we go steady. We were plopped in beach chairs, marveling over the indescribable grandeur of the Gulf of Mexico. Behind us, about one hundred yards of sparkling quartz sand spanned the distance between the water's edge and the beach house, where Daughter and Boyfriend were transitioning from soggy sandy beachwear to Tommy Bahama tropical wear.
Four-year old grandson, Lee, was unwilling to call it a day and pleaded with his mother to allow him a little longer to roll in the soft cool sand and play with his boogie board in the gentle breakers of the Gulf. Better Half and I were assigned to be on the qui vive, since we werealready on the beach enjoying the golden hour views.
Our dear friend Weepy, a long time beach-front resident of the Gulf coast, knows weather and her forecasts have been proven to be correct many, many times. She often says, "When you are on the Gulf and you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes and it will change."
I was reminded of Weepy's weather wisdom when I noticed the golden hour had changed to a rather overcast hour. I looked in the direction where Lee was playing along the shoreline.
Startled, I saw the small lad was a bit too far out in the water. The waves had gained some energy and Lee was bobbing in the swell like a sea gull. I yelled and waved at him to come back. Lee kept bobbing. Not wanting to be an alarmist (I have been accused of being excessively overprotective), I asked Better Half, "Does it look like Lee is drifting further out in the water?"
Her one word reply – yes – was scarcely spoken before I kicked off my shoes and headed for the surf. By this time Lee was drifting farther east and south of where we were sitting. Wild and frantic, I plunged into the water, trying to reach him. I knew the only thing keeping him above water was the little boogie board attached by rope to his wrist – a ridiculous substitute for a proper personal flotation device.
Unable to swim because I skipped swim lessons as a kid, I hopped and dog-paddled toward the diminishing sight of Lee. Fully clothed, out of breath, crying and chest pounding, I began to doubt if I could complete the rescue. Since that scenario was unthinkable, I stayed the course, hampered by my clothes now heavy with water and by the notion that I was most likely having a heart attack right there in the good ole Gulf of Mexico.
Fixed on Lee's ever distant position, I was startled when I heard a deep voice behind me, "Joy, what's going on?"
It was Boyfriend! Tall, young, strong, and able to swim, he quickly reached Lee and carried him back to solid ground, reaching landfall before I did. Everyone was gathered around Lee – Daughter, Boyfriend, Better Half and finally yours truly, soaking wet head to toe and looking worse than bedraggled. Better Half handed me my eyeglasses, which apparently I had let fly along with my shoes eons ago.
Everyone was smiling and two of us were crying a little too. After Lee coughed up all the salt water he swallowed during the ordeal, he wanted to know if he could go and play in the surf again. "Maybe tomorrow," his mother answered.
The remainder of our vacation was as pleasant as it always is on the Gulf Coast – despite weather changes and near drownings. We enjoyed late breakfasts, good books and card games during rainy periods. When the sun graced us with her bright light, warmth and harmful UV rays, we made our way to the beach, loaded down with coolers, chairs, snacks, towels, binoculars, shell, fish and bird field guides, fishing gear and bait, hats, a radio and and a few toys for Lee too.
We never took our eyes off of Lee – sporting his new life vest – as he played in the water near the shore. One afternoon, Lee and I were building the umpteenth sand castle of the week. I couldn't forget the sight of him tossing about in the tide and after the rescue being so dispassionate about the event.
My profound curiosity about Lee's experience of being alone in choppy seas led me to ask a question. "Lee. What where you thinking about when you drifted out so far into the water and couldn't get back to shore?"
So young, confident and trusting was he that little boy replied, "I was thinking: I wonder when somebody is going to come and save me."
I believe most women who are old enough to have grandchildren can look back at their lives as well as contemplate the present and realize just how many lives they have tried to save, to bail out or liberate.
I have done my share of attempted rescues. I have come to the aid of family and friends to free them from poor grades and poor choices, from health issues and economic woes, from drug and other addictions, from loneliness, fearfulness and defeat. My family and friends have done the same for me – sometimes successfully, but often not. Heaven knows I've needed to be rescued on more than a few occasions.
Even now I would dive into the deep to save Lee's life. Be that as it may, it's much more likely that the now tall, strong, fifteen-year-old Lee would play the role of life guard and I the role of grandmama who never learned to swim.
We are given opportunities to help others along our path and we do. But can we truly take responsibility for someone else's life? Do we have the capacity to deliver others from challenges they face? If our efforts to save others become overwhelming, then what?
Mary Oliver, Pulitzer Prize winner and one of my favorite poets wrote "The Journey", a poem that offers her wisdom to the would-be saviors and those waiting to be saved.
The Journey
One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice–
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do–
determined to save
the only life you could save.
