Just when you thought you knew your way around the Internet, everything changes. This includes three areas: Who you can trust, the danger of ignoring copyrights and giving your carefully-penned word songs away for free, for the sake of the cause, any cause. Although Wikileaks claims most headlines these days, the sale of Huffington Post, made popular by writers working without pay, and new copyright lawsuits for posting news stories on blogs without permission, are important developments for writers, bloggers and everyone on the web. Writing for free quickly became known this week as the way to get duped by big business on the Internet, as AOL announced the purchase of Huffington Post. Read column:

It is a great honor to share the news that these three Native American youths are ready to walk across America -- again! Carl 'Bad Bear' Sampson, Western Shoshone from Nevada, Lisa Peake, Ojibwe/Pomo from Turtle Island, and Craig Luther, Navajo, from Utah.
Bad Bear is already in Portland, Oregon, getting ready for the Longest Walk 3 northern route for diabetes, along with coordinator Chris Francisco, Navajo from Shiprock, N.M.
Lisa Peake, shown as she was honored in DC for making it all the way across America on the Longest Walk 2 in 2008, is ready to walk across America again.
Craig Luther, Navajo, from Sanders, Arizona, joins his fellow walkers, along with Craig's father. Luther's family now lives in Richfield, Utah.
It was an honor to make the journey with these three Native American youth walkers on the Longest Walk 2 northern route. As cohost of the Longest Walk Talk Radio, along with Govinda from Earthcycles, we shared their stories.
Each of these walkers manifest beautiful qualities under very difficult conditions, walking and running in cold and rain, through times of little food and often sleeping on the ground in wet tents. They walked up to 16 miles a day across America in 2008.
