“Forever Together”
You wouldn’t know it to look at me but
there’s a constant battle raging inside
It’s so hard to live these two lives
Hello Dr. Jekyll
Hello Mr. Hyde
We don’t understand
Travel’s said to broaden the mind, I’m
just losing mine
“(It’s) Too Late Baby”
The stories over, the curtains closing
We take our final bow
Once the hottest ticket around
The seats are all empty now
There’s still a way about you
that just turns me on
There’s a way about that
just keeps me going
“Freedom”
Liberty queen
She was an American dream
They put a statue of her in the river
Boats passing by catch the big woman’s eye
But a second glance, sailor don’t give her
Gathering moss, staring across from the city
It’s a pity
Nobody care-a
Bout a relic from a bygone era

Today hundreds of websites will go down and be unusable for the remainder of the day. This is not a technical error but a unified act of defiance to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) that will be going through Congress this February.
The SOPA will allow the government to block any website that violates the rules they will set. For example if a person claims a site is infringing on copyright laws the government can block anyone using an American I.P. from accessing it. This means user-generated sites like YouTube and Flickr would be affected greatly.
As expected much of the internet has responded in outrage. Among the websites going black for the remainder of today are all of Wikipedia’s pages, barring the SOPA page, greenpeace.com and reddit.com. By going black a website blocks all material.
Websites hope that by doing this more people will become informed of the bill and attempt to contact their congressmen. Those who would like to learn more about SOPA can read about it on wikipedia.com.

After 24 years of working on faculty at FC, Louis Jensen has been promoted to director of high schools for the New Albany-Floyd County School Corporation. Jensen first found out of his promotion 10 days ago. Former assistant principal Janie Whaley takes over as principal today.
Assistant principal Rob Willman will take Whaley’s former position and Whaley, Willman, and Jensen will move to hire a new dean to fill his place.
Over the next few months Jensen will spend less and less time at FC until he is only coming in periodically. He will also help to acclimate Whaley to her new position and help in hiring another assistant principal; the position will be advertised as a “dean”.
Whaley said she is excited and wants to “keep it extraordinary” at FC.
Check out February’s edition of the Bagpiper for more detailed coverage of this ongoing story.
