Originally posted by cee_m at Information about ACTAACTA in a Nutshell – What is ACTA? ACTA is the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. A new intellectual property enforcement treaty being negotiated by the United States, the European Community, Switzerland, and Japan, with Australia, the Republic of Korea, New Zealand, Mexico, Jordan, Morocco, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and Canada recently announcing that they will join in as well. Why should you care about ACTA? Initial reports indicate that the treaty will have a very broad scope and will involve new tools targeting “Internet distribution and information technology.” What is the goal of ACTA? Reportedly the goal is to create new legal standards of intellectual property enforcement, as well as increased international cooperation, an example of which would be an increase in information sharing between signatory countries’ law enforcement agencies.

We know someone in upstate New York who needs a good custody lawyer ASAP. I'm not at liberty to go into details publicly, but this woman is very afraid that her abusive boyfriend is going to get sole custody of her young child. She's presently being represented by a public defender who doesn't seem to care about the case, and she has very few resources left at this point. Her next hearing is on Thursday.
If you know a good lawyer in New York State who might be willing to take this case for a low fee or pro bono, or at least offer her advice or support, please let me know. If you don't know anyone, please repost this far and wide. As a mother and an abuse survivor, it makes me absolutely sick to my stomach to contemplate a child being left in the hands of an abuser.
I can be reached at kythryne@gmail.com if you have any leads or want to help.
The internet can work miracles. Let's go.

Title: Falling Apart Pairing: Joe Jonas/Nick Jonas, slight Nick Jonas/OFC Rating: NC-17 Word Count: 17,105 Warnings: Incest. Technically, Nick is underage as the fic takes place in the present day. Summary: Nick and Joe have one night together and Nick thinks he and Joe have finally taken the step neither of them have been willing to make, however, Joe isn't on the same page. Nick goes out on tour with The Administration and Joe starts to fall apart at the seams. Scared he forced something onto Joe he really didn't want, Nick tries to help Joe without his face getting splashed across every tabloid, keep what's really making Joe act so crazy from their friends and family and somehow save his relationship with his brother. It's not easy when Joe won't even talk to him and even harder when Joe does something Nick thinks might be unforgivable that sends him into a tailspin of his own. Nick's never backed down from a challenge before and he certainly isn't going to start now. Besides, if he can fix this mess he might actually get what he wants too. A/N: Thank you to inthenameofjuc for her betaing duties. Written for jb_bigbang. Thank you to mediaville for running and organizing the challenge. Part One | Part Two | |

A/N: Written for deirdre_c for help_haiti. I'm sorry it is sorely overdue. ( Everything began and ended at karaoke. ) | |
