Obey the Altruistic Giant, or Else.
QUESTIONS OF APPROPRIATION and Tokenism are areas one must approach carefully. Human beings are involved and there is nuance, to be sure. Good can be done with methods that are not optimally beneficial to all parties involved. Furthermore, that cost must be weighed by each person. And yet, shapes of Whiteness move behind and around us, often invisible. They must be named.
I WROTE A POST the other day on the new poster by Shepard Fairey and Ernesto Yerena, and essentially it was about how my initial impression was of a white artist appropriating culture in the newest culture-hungry OBEYGIANT art operation. I made various comments about the poster art, both complimenting elements of it (I love Fairey's style, which borrows hugely from Russian Constructivism though he'd like the borrowing to stop there) as well as criticizing elements of the composition. These were not emotional "Eh, I just don't like it" type comments; they were grounded in a cultural perspective as well as springing from my own artistic eye. I didn't feel it necessary to temper my critique, because hey, it's just one cat's opinion. Little did I know I'd get the pushback I did.
As I have returned to this issue and this post and these people with as much nuance as I can manage, I expect commenters to do the same. If they cannot engage the ideas here thoughtfully, I will simply block them. I had enough arguing back and forth yesterday though I do very much thank those commenters, too. They forced me to delve deeper and to flesh out the ideas that I intuited right away, but had not yet the background "research" as was said, to argue comprehensively. I have done the research now, and I'm sure they will be satisfied that I took their advice.
Overall, the folks at ObeyGiant and/or ObeyGiant Forums did not care for my critique one bit, and they showed up to accuse me of various things, among those that I was reacting out of jealousy, ignorance, fear, and vanity. (In the same comment I was admonished to stop being divisive and feel the love!) The comments were in turns scornful, dismissive, and furious that I dared "spread misinformation."
One commentor, "almanegra" wrote "[j]ust don't start trying to spread misinformation that the whole operation was simply driven by a single factor, profit" as well as "you should really look into where the money is actually going as opposed to assuming that the image was purely profit driven."
Reading back, I can see that it could read that way. No, I don't really think it's that simple. So not that I thought my opinion on it mattered so much, but okay. Ahem, for the record: I don't think Shepard Fairey's intentions can be said to be purely profit driven. Profits from the posters go to "creating materials for the May Day marches and donations for immigration reform organizations" and that doesn't seem very profitable, does it. Of course if the "materials" are more of these posters, then the profits are essentially going back into creating what are highly-visible advertisements for the Shepard Fairey brand, as well. But we'll push that aside for the moment. Finally, the cat who talked to me about the poster one-on-one says he works with Shepard Fairey and he's an all right guy. So I have no reason to disbelieve that.
However, do notice that these comments seem mostly concerned that I was smearing Shepard Fairey's motives; and that I was claiming the event was purely for profit. Of everything I said in my post, this is what was really raising hackles. Of course we know how important it is to Whiteness to maintain a public appearance of perfection and how averse it is in having its public image besmirched or its reputation sullied. On other hand, this panic-like flurry of comments could be simple fear of a brand being threatened or the anger that arises when having one's altruistic motives questioned. Those things make sense, too.
Regardless: my question is where is the outrage to defend the name and integrity of Fairey's supposed "partner" in this work, Ernesto Yerena? All this outrage is responding to the idea that I dare impugn the motives and reputation of Shepard Fairey.
The point was raised that Ernesto's part in the making of the poster was being overlooked, but it was tiny compared to the focus on Fairey's reputation, and in fact, was mentioned in the service of clearing Fairey of the charge of being an outsider looking in; not in the service of celebrating Ernesto Yerena and what his story and reality is. One problem with Whiteness is that it refuses to be de-centered in any area it appears. In this way, Whiteness is like a cognitive disease. It refuses to arrange importance rationally or by any meritocratic ranking, but instead arbitrarily and relentlessly places the feelings and point of view of Whiteness central to any arrangement of credit or concern.
Now I'm talking about a lot of things here. We see that this is not a simple poster discussion. Yes, we're talking about artistic/symbolic elements in a work of art, but also about appropriation, Whiteness, Tokenism, the immigration movement, capitalism…
I'm happy that something is helping move the immigrant movement forward. So please know that. I really am. The people who suggest this is about petty jealousy reveal their own smallness. And those commenters who say I'm stirring up divisions where they shouldn't be, well…I just wrote a blog post. I'm not the one who showed up here in numbers to argue back and forth and call names! So…who is being divisive? Again, we are talking about many things. Sometimes what I discuss here is idea based. These ideas can exist along with practical realities in the world; my commentary does not negate those. But some shapes are important to point out. And let's be real. You are not really so worried about division amongst activists, but about image of the Fairey brand among youth who read me. In fact, I could read that concern in the words that were spoken to me personally.
The artist I spoke to on the phone from Obey Giant was very cool (and I'll talk about him more soon) but posed the situation as if I were being "separatist." He was very nice about it, but the assumption in his words was that I was interested in a pure divide between races. "I used to be separatist, but I don't want to alienate white people anymore, my girlfriend is white… I want to reach the largest possible group." And yes, I understand that. But see, I am not "separatist," either. So just let me clear that up! I don't want a little girl on a poster with a middle finger in the air, or an "I hate white people" pin! And my points were not about excluding white people. There is no need to interpret what I said as anti-white people. Just because it was anti-appropriation.
This is the kind of thing one has to draw out carefully. So I'll try.
We can assume that ObeyGiant is already sensitized to being accused of cultural appropriation. We can assume this because a) cultural appropriation is sort of what Fairey does as a "style," and because b), Fairey defends himself from it on his Wikipedia page.
So for me to accuse him of the same thing (and without even having researched, as I was admonished by these commenters; "Next time do a little research!") surely touched a nerve.
Commenter "A1" wrote
I understand the fear that a white dude who has gained lots of popularity is exploiting a culture for profit and fame, but you have to believe me that this is not the case with this project. Don't be hung up on the race of the guy who's name is attached to this.
But I am hung up on whose name is attached to the project. See…that's the very point, in part, that I'm making.
I'm hung up on that fact that Ernesto was the face of the artist when it comes to signing posters for the brown crowds while also being the one who was in the hole for the money that it took to make the posters, and at the same time being left off the credit side as another "Shepard Fairey" iconic work is produced and celebrated by the larger culture.
I'll draw out these thoughts more in a minute. I did speak with Ernesto on the phone, after all. But that is my core complaint. And it is in line with all the things I always talk about when I write online, and have for over three years, now.
Now, while I was chastised by the commenters yesterday for daring to accuse Shepard Fairey of having cash as a motive (cash in hand or measured in increased visibility and reputation, nobody made clear), at the same time, I heard the complaint that I was not properly appreciative of how much money was sunk into such a risky venture!
Commenter A1: I don't think you understand how much time, money, and effort went into carrying out this project that tackles an issue that most people would be too scared to approach. I respect Shepard Fairey for being willing to attach himself to an issue that many find to be too controversial, and would rather avoid.
Or that I was not properly appreciative of the bravery that Shepard Fairey showed by risking his reputation to touch a controversial issue.
Again, I'm happy Shepard is on board and is helping. Beautiful. Of course, you know that I feel gente need to rely on each other, boost up each other, rise from within. As much as possible, and the more often, the better. I'm not a cookie dispenser for the brave altruists. If I were, you'd now be reading theunapologeticcookiedispenser.org . And you're not. This wasn't about how "good" or "bad" the artist was; what his moral fiber is. Or if I gave that impression, I should not have. This is about a shape that plays out between unequal powers, and about community, and about culture. It's also about a person's own experience and right to define themselves, so we'll hear out another view soon. Ernesto's—the artist who apprentices for Shepard Fairey and who contributed to this poster art.
But let's address one last commenter before I talk about my conversation with him and my own thoughts and feelings on the entire complex issue of appropriation, tokenism, and the power structures that necessitate these dynamics.
ButchM writes to another commentor on my site:
Also, you are missing the point when you are defending the critique of the work. I don't think people are concerned with the evaluation but rather the false premise that this was Shepard's design. It was primarily Ernesto Yerna's [sic] with input from Zach and Shepard. Ernesto is an apprentice of Shepard's so his work has a similar flavor. You can criticize it all you want but just know that you are speaking about one of Ernesto's designs. So that really invalidates the charges of "outsider perspective" or "whitness [sic] problem."
"It is primarily Ernesto Yerna's [sic] work"
Is this true? No, it is not. Ernesto told me personally (and I have the audio) that the work was "more or less 50-50." So, no, ButchM; it is not "primarily Ernesto (you had his last name wrong) Yerena's work."
The particulars? Ernesto told me personally that he took the photo, and that Shepard Fairey then took "at least a couple hours" to render that photo down to a style that only showed its minimal contours and detail.
I think you will recognize this look of simplified contour and detail I speak of in Fairey's past work.
Ernesto said he then traced what Shepard Fairey had done "which didn't take that much [work]" And he added two other color layers.
And no, until someone dropped a link yesterday to cimarrones.org, no I had not seen the other poster that the Fairey/Yerena had made, (below) showing a man with the fist properly raised in the air. Which is good. The fist in the air symbol is not something you can water down, really, as was done in the other version. No offense to Ernesto, if that was his call. But I stand by my comments that the halfway raised fist is about as effective a symbol as a photo of a man about to turn his back and run away from a line of tanks that are facing him. If Immigrant Girl is not intended to be a fighter but "what we are fighting for" as the commenter said yesterday…then put her fist down. And give her a parent on either side. Whole families not shattered by raids and separated by bars or borders—that is "what we are fighting for," not one little girl.
And the "We Are Human" just does not work for me for the reasons I stated, as well as were stated in comments. This is the name of the campaign, and I find it utterly tone-deaf, though it tries. It sounds like Fairey tried to do his contour-reducing trick on the slogan "No One is Illegal"; make it punchy and short. I don't care if that's accurate, really, or how it came about. But I will tell you that multiple activists/raza reacted instantly negatively to it, without even hearing my critique. So take it as you will.
And of course I'm glad gente at la marcha are happy to have free signs, and I'm not surprised! But a mass of people claiming to be humans in the street….what's the message? Take us to your leader? Don't mind the saucers, we are Homo Sapiens?
It's just a weird phrase that, as was said by a compa, "sets the bar way too low."
Ernesto told me that he was in debt to Fairey until they sold enough posters/screenprints to pay off what it cost to make the posters. ("He wouldn't have made me pay it back even if we didn't" he added kindly). He also told me he got to choose the colors. Finally he told me (and I don't know if Fairey knows this, but I doublechecked with Ernesto to make sure it was okay to quote it) that he chose the colors of the Aztlán flag, the Anahuac people. (I love the colors he chose, but those aren't the colors of the Aztlán flag that I know of, so maybe I have the wrong flag).
Nota: "Anahuac" refers to the Mexica movement, and the Mexica movement bases its purpose in that we are descended from the indigenous of this land and the borders that came later are invalid. Obviously, this is a hardcore stance, a smaller demographic subscribes to it, and many who do, don't talk about it aloud as it can alarm those who disagree with the overall idea. The art and statements of the Mexica movement are why one commenter on my last Fairey post tried to sneer and deride UMX by calling it a "defacto MySpace page." Because often you will see that art and those statements displayed by people on MySpace, gente trying to stand proud instead of being shat upon through the White Lens. People on MySpace are generally younger and more comfortable with speaking pure ideal because they don't have to worry as much about negotiating the compromises that come with a visible career, etc.
Ernesto was in a tricky spot talking about some of these things. Just as he was in taking part in the art and how confrontational to make it. He talked about not wanting to alienate white people as I wrote above (I didn't butt in to tell him my family has "white people" in it) and of compromise, too. "I'll take help where I can get it [to reach these goals]." ("Though I'm totally happy with how it turned out" he added with barely any pause.)
And he is going to be in a tricky spot, when these types of conversations come down. And I understand that and will talk more about this soon. I relate to a lot of it.
My thoughts on Ernesto are that he is a good cat, a sweet guy, a real soul, a Xicano who comes from la comunidad, and who is keeping it as real as he can. He's 22, he's doing hard work for the community, he's a talented vato, and he is walking a fine line—as gente must do when we negotiate these structures of power and opportunity. Finally, he is deeply committed to the cause for reasons more personal than I'll even state here. So yes, there is no doubt that Ernesto is raza.
Is the charge of a Whiteness Problem invalid?
No, and this will be my final statement here.
On Ernesto's navigating the outstretched hand of opportunity?
The tricky thing about attacking the Appropriation/Token dynamic is that it is a huge offense to a person of color to be called a token. I know, because I've faced this same dynamic. When I was granted a ticket and costs to attend YearlyKos 07 as one of the Chicago 17, I needed to explore what opportunities were opening up in front of me. I felt this was in my path for a reason, and it was, in the end. But I didn't know what it was. However, I trusted my fate and my path. I knew where my heart was and what it was about. I resented like crazy those who thought they knew better, that I was "selling out" or in some way less a person of color because of my decision. I was prompted to go by many readers and more importantly, I wanted to do this. I felt I could further the cause of what I was doing. I was exercising my free will, I was being recognized for my talents and influence, and I was being brought in as someone who was known to write fiery, unrelentingly ideal-based blog posts. What compromise was I making? But some of my readers disagreed with me and I lost what I thought were some friends by taking that opportunity. Of course, true gente stuck by me. My close amigos. Even if they thought what I was doing was…a mistake, or playing into a Token situation. And some understood that I was going where I needed to and trusted it would all be fine. (And it was all fine, and learning what I did there prompted me in the direction that helped lead to The Sanctuary's existence.) But I felt a horrible pressure all the while I was making my own way. Pressure from the white funders to tell a story they liked, one that framed them as benificent and kind and altruistic, which is how they saw themselves to be. And pressure from certain factions of my own readership to completely turn away from all things Whiteosphere in the most extreme way possible—to not even go. So I was being forced to defend my integrity as a person of color. By people of color. One commenter even said "don't be a token!" As it was not meant smartly, sort of dropped both meaning well and clumsiliy, I took it to be coming from outside conversations that were now reaching me.
So I feel bad that Ernesto's call to me—even if prompted to do it by others at ObeyGiant—served the purpose of his having to defend his cred, his cultural integrity to me. On one hand he was making sure to tell me they were good to him, not taking advantage, really helpful and really open to him; he was also assuring me of his agreement with certain cultural beliefs and allegiances…and that is not what I needed to hear or wanted him to feel he had to tell me. This is what can happen when white structures take you in and use you in certain ways. Not to say you aren't getting things out of it, too. But sadly, you are the one who ends up being pointed at by your fellow people of color and having to defend yourself and at the same time getting taken advantage of in one way or another from the other side.
It is a painful spot to be in.
It's very tricky to address a tokenizing system while understanding that the people involved are simply trying to live and find their way to do what they love and believe in, may not see themselves as "tokens," and must navigate an inequal power structure that may only hand you opportunities once you concede certain things, or hand your more or bigger ones depending on what shape you take, what words you use, how close you hue to a political line, etc. I don't like calling people "tokens" and I don't really feel I have that right and that is not what I'm doing here so much as exploring the inequality that exists in these setups that often earn these names. I wouldn't blame an artist for doing her/his best to spread his/her message in the way that felt right to their own soul. Just as I wouldn't scorn those holding up the posters and marching. They don't care or want to hear about "appropriation"; they just want to escape persecution and have their families intact. But as I said, I write often about ideas that can coexist with realities on the ground.
When I spoke yesterday of how I wanted art that people called "icons of the movement" to come from la comunidad, ButchM sarcastically commented "Psst. His [Ernesto's] name is on it. He personally signed every single one of the s/n edition. How do you not know even know that before your wrote an article about it? Seriously." And then linked me to cimarrones.org.
You tell me. Do you see Ernesto's name on the poster? Well, maybe we can't read it from here. I don't see it. Though most blogs or sites touting the art immediately think of this as "Shepard Fairey" work, I was happy to note that at least some sites do purposely put Ernesto's name in the credit when talking about this art.
But if you go to ObeyGiant as well as any other site that has grabbed the ObeyGiant press release, you'll notice something interesting.
The two blurbs being used to sell the poster of mi gente, of nuestra gente—Ernesto and my people—are Shepard Fairey talking about his European immigrant ancestors, and Zach de la Rocha's star-power endorsement. Don't get me wrong, I crank RATM like nobody's business! And I agree that de la Rocha was an inspiration years ago, too, with his music about social injustice. And still is. And por supuesto I'm glad that Shepard Fairey relates to today's immigrant story in his way.
But where is Ernesto's blurb?
When Ernesto talked to me, one of the first things he spoke about was his background, his roots. What situation his family is in now. How he has spent time in border towns and how much this issue means to his heart. It was real rap, and it was moving. But why, if he owns a '50-50′ share in credit of who made this art, is his story not included in selling the poster? Why, if his presence should negate the charge that this poster is cultural appropriation that furthers Shepard's visibility and career without fairly repaying or crediting the Brown™—is Ernesto's story not part of the story of this art's birth?
Why does Shepard Fairey lead the promo with his story of white immigration while Ernesto's modern-day ties to this very issue and these very people are omitted?
If there is a clear answer to this that escapes the charges of Whiteness centering itself or cultural appropriation, I can't imagine what it is.

|I swooned over this whole wheat bread with Za'atar, Feta, Olives, and Green Onions
(Makes one generous load of bread, recipe adapted from Za'atar, Feta, and Olives Quick Bread at Chico's Kitchen.)
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
3 T Za'atar, plus more for sprinkling on top
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
2 T olive oil
1 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese (not packed down)
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
Transfer the batter to the loaf pan and sprinkle a little more Za'atar over the top. Bake 40-45 minutes, or until bread is cooked through and lightly browned on top. (You can use a toothpick to see if the bread is done; the toothpick should come out dry when it's cooked through.)
Gently remove the hot bread from the loaf pan and let it cool on a wire rack for 10 or 15 minutes, then slice and enjoy. This kept well for one night in the refrigerator, but it's best freshly made. I don't think it would stay good much longer than one day, so be sure to share if you can't eat it all right away!
South Beach Suggestions:
This delicious bread would be approved for phase 2 or 3 of the South Beach Diet. I think it's a perfect bread to serve alongside something like Revithia (Greek Chickpea Soup with Lemon and Olive Oil) or Tomato, Cucumber, and Radish Salad with Yogurt and Tahini Dressing.

I was musing the other day with a colleague about the early days of data warehousing. We reflected on how more than 20 years ago, the effort to get data into one place for analysis was mind-boggling. Then, analyzing the data in a warehouse was an even bigger challenge. For the most part these were two separate topics, two sets of users – IT and business users sitting in opposite sides of a building.
In many ways we are continually faced with the same problem, bringing together a growing variety and volume of data from flat files and delivering it to the business users who need it and support their tools of choice. It is too easy to focus on one side of the building and not the other. A unique differentiator for Pentaho is that we focus on both sides of the building. Evolving as an open source company, continuing to innovate and never losing sight of how Business Intelligence and Data Integration should not and cannot be separated — the two are simply "better together."
With the release of Pentaho Business Analytics 4.5 GA today, we continue to tightly couple business intelligence and data integration in an open, integrated platform. The new visualization features included in this release, such as geo-mapping, heat grids and scatterplots, allow our users to interactively analyze data through pictures and graphics, without leaving behind the need to analyze disparate data sources. Plus, we added new big data support and a set of online resources to help overcome technical barriers to big data adoption. For software and SaaS companies, we added a pluggable and extensible interface to easily add third-party visualizations.
The result? IT and line of business coexist. IT controls infrastructure and business users get the data they need with the tools they want. This is an idea planted in the beginning by Pentaho's founders eight years ago. Since then the team has been busy building the platform and growing the customer and community to deliver the future of analytics — BI and DI together in a modern unified platform. Simply put — Pentaho is business analytics that work.
Take a look at the cool new visualization and big data features in Pentaho Business Analytics 4.5 and see for yourself…we'd like to hear from our IT and business users to see what you think! Let us know by leaving a comment below.

This is a problem I encountered in Martin Isaacs' 'Finite Group Theory'. It's located at the end of Chapter II which deals with subnormality, and the particular paragraph is concerned with a couple of not so well-known results which I quote for reference:
(In what follows $F$ is the Fitting subgroup)
Theorem (Zenkov)
Let $A$ and $B$ be abelian subgroups of the finite group G, and let $M$ be a minimal (in the sense of containment) member of the set {$A \cap B^g : g \in G$}. Then $M\subseteq F(G)$.
An easy corollary follows which establishes the existence of a subnormal subgroup:
If $A$ is an abelian subgroup of the finite group $G$ and $|A|\geq|G:A|$, then $A \cap F(G)>1$.
In fact, if $A$ is cyclic, then a normal subgroup is guaranteed:
Theorem (Lucchini)
Let A be a cyclic proper subgroup of a finite group G, and let $K=core_G(A)$. Then $|A:K|<|G:A|$, and in particular, if $|A|\geq|G:A|$, then $K>1$.
Let G be a finite group such that $G=AN$, where $A$ is abelian, $N \unlhd G$, $C_A(N)=1$ and $F(N)=1$. Show that $|A|<|N|$.
Note that, since $N \unlhd G$, it follows that $F(N)= N \cap F(G)$. So, if $|A|\geq|N|$ in the problem, then $|A|\geq|N:N \cap A|=|NA:A|=|G:A|$ and the corollary applies to give $A \cap F(G)>1$.
How does one proceed from here to obtain a contradiction? In particular, how can the condition on the centralizer be utilized effectively?

Panthers' Rivera adds three assistant coaches to staff
Published: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 8:59 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 8:59 p.m.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The Carolina Panthers announced three assistants have been added to Ron Rivera's coaching staff.
Carolina hired Ken Dorsey as its new quarterbacks coach to work with Cam Newton, Jim Skipper as running backs coach and Al Holcomb as linebackers coach.
Dorsey joins the coaching staff after serving as a pro scout for the Panthers since 2011. Dorsey led the Miami Hurricanes to the 2001 national championship and still holds several school passing records.
Skipper returns to Carolina after two seasons with the Tennessee Titans. He spent nine seasons with the Panthers (2002-10) as running backs coach. During his tenure DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart and Stephen Davis each posted 1,000-yard rushing seasons.
Holcomb joins the Panthers after four seasons with the New York Giants, the last two as a defensive assistant.

yes...a great production here at our doorstep.
today I watched Le Corsaire, danced by our National Ballet Company, which is under the direction of Mr JuLio Bocca. Production staged by Anne-Marie Holmes, Maria Riccetto starring as Medora, Jose Martin(soloist from Royal Ballet) as Conrad, Avetil Karapetian (Royal Swedish Ballet) as Ali, Giovanna Martinatto (Urguay) as Gulnare and artists frrom the company
a great production which makes me immensely proud and happych that ballet is getting to the place it belongs by right in our society. New theater. No orchestra due to musicians strike but taped music (which(I resented)
Ricetto looked good, but, I think, maybe was tired. Fouettes did not go too well. Great adagrnio work in pas de trois. and still greater adagio in "Finesse d amour"..I loved her dancing in it:lyrical,tender. I think she is more of a lyrrical than a bravura ballerina. Giovanna Martinatto (our prima ballerina), was at her best: high extensions, but still looking elegant and delicate. Impeccable turns. Double fouttes.
Avetik marvellous - fantastic revoltades coda. Jose Martin: perfectily lcontrolled multiple turns, ending in a balance that seemed to last forever.
I think we must be forever grateful to Mr Bocca for bringing back to us the pleasure of watching first rate ballet!

I can completely sympathize. I was in BsAs last year in November/December and had tickets to all sorts of productions at Teatro Colon - all of which were cancelled last minute due to wildcat strikes by the theatre workers' unions (stage hands, ushers, etc). Apparently they were not paid full salaries during the renovation of Teatro Colon (of course, they didn't do any work during that time), and refused to work until they received full back pay.

yes. Teatro Colon is undergoing some difficulties.
and our theatre was full of difficulties since its birth in 1935 -this year a Tchaikowsky gala was cancelled -orchestra would not play
nonetheless, Corsaire was great

text: Hey guys, it's been a while since I really sat here and submitted more than one tutorial. Today I will start the day filling requests with some easy stuff once again. To start, let's learn "how to draw an easy elephant", step by step. Elephants are always fun to draw because they are just so big in size, and their appearance is so massive. They are what you call gentle giants when it comes to safari animals. Now just because elephants look harmless, they are still very dangerous and should not be approached even at a zoo. Anyways, to me these animals have a serene presence about them, and that is why they are one of the more popular safari creatures roaming the world today. When it comes to drawing an elephant, there is so many ways to start a project such as this. In the past I have done lessons on cartoon style elephants, realistic elephants, and even just a plain old elephant. This tutorial is going to teach you to "draw an easy elephant" with little or no complications. When you are done, you can make a neat looking background, or you can choose just to leave your newly drawn animal just the way you see it here. No matter what you want to do, there is no better way to enjoy one of the oldest mammals on earth. I'll be back with more drawing fun so stay tuned in to see what I will put up next.

The IRS Targets Conservatives
An official admits the tax agency pursued tea party groups in the 2012 election season.
Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean the IRS isn't out to get you. We only wish that were a joke. On Friday, an Internal Revenue Service official disclosed for the first time, and by way of apologizing, that the agency that wields the taxing power of the federal government had targeted conservative groups for special scrutiny during the 2012 election season. Apology or not, that can't be the end of the matter.
The stunning admission didn't emerge in an official statement by a senior official at the Treasury Department, which supervises the IRS. Instead, IRS Director of Exempt Organizations Lois Lerner disclosed it on Friday in response to a question from the audience at a meeting of American Bar Association tax lawyers in Washington, D.C.
Ms. Lerner acknowledged that the agency had flagged groups with the words "tea party" or "patriot" to have their tax returns inspected, presumably with an eye on the legality of their tax exemption. Ms. Lerner called this "inappropriate," which it certainly was, and she said it wasn't done "out of any political bias," which is hard to believe. If there was no political bias, why were only conservative groups targeted? White House spokesman Jay Carney also called the IRS actions "inappropriate" on Friday, which makes that the word of the day.
Ms. Lerner added the tax inspections were carried out entirely by low-level workers in Cincinnati without any direction from Washington. Forgive us if we also don't take that claim as gospel.
Even if the idea did arise as some kind of spontaneous Cincinnati political combustion, where could they possibly have come up with the idea that targeting the tea party might be a good career move? That certainly was the uber political message coming out of the White House, even if it wasn't a directive from the top of the IRS. Another question is who stopped the "inappropriate" requests once they were discovered. Was anyone punished? And how far up the chain of command did knowledge go?
It's not as if these IRS requests had been a state secret. Beginning in February 2012, conservative groups in Kentucky, Texas, Ohio and Tennessee began reporting that they were receiving unusually long and intrusive questionnaires about their tax status.
The issue even made it to Congress. When the question was put to the IRS, the agency denied it. At a House Ways and Means subcommittee hearing in March 2012, Commissioner Douglas Shulman insisted that "There's absolutely no targeting. This is the kind of back and forth that happens to people" if they want to get tax-exempt status.
That "back and forth" seems to happen to conservatives a lot. In May 2011, the IRS was caught sending letters to big donors of 501(c) groups, suggesting that their contributions could be retroactively taxed under the gift tax. On that occasion too, the IRS blamed the political gamesmanship on low-level employees, saying it was carried out by "career" workers and didn't reflect a coordinated effort by the White House.
It's important to understand that the timing of these requests, in the middle of the 2012 campaign, had the effect of stifling political activity. The targeted groups had tax-exempt status that allowed them to participate in certain kinds of political messaging. But any such group receiving IRS missives is immediately going to become cautious, lest it risk the arbitrary wrath of some tax official. The speech-squelching effects may have been especially important in Ohio, which was ground zero in the battle for the White House.
Ms. Lerner's apology on Friday was unexpected but we're doubtful that it came as a sudden bolt of conscience. The mea culpa lands ahead of an official report on the tax-fishing incidents by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. That report was requested by House Oversight Chairman Darrell Issa and Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan in June 2012, and the IG is expected to issue its findings soon.
The incident is particularly rich in light of recent efforts by campaign finance reformers to broaden the powers of the IRS and other non-expert agencies to regulate politics, especially nonprofits. The latest campaign finance disclosure bill sponsored by Senators Ron Wyden (D., Ore.) and Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), would force trade organizations and 527 and 501(c) groups to disclose their donors, institute real-time reporting requirements and impose draconian penalties for noncompliance.
The bill modifies the tax code to cover political nonprofits, so it also hands more power to regulate politics to the IRS. The bill is a terrible idea on its face, but after Ms. Lerner's disclosure it looks positively dangerous.
Republicans were up in arms Friday about the IRS disclosure, and rightly so. We assume they will use their oversight power in the House to find out what happened, and whether these Cincinnati kids were really operating on their own.
Other than the power to prosecute, the taxing authority is the most awesome power the government has. It can ruin people and companies. When wielded for political purposes, it is a violation of the basic contract the American people have with their government. The abuse admitted by Ms. Lerner can't be dismissed in a casual apology on a casual Friday as no big deal. It's a very big and bad deal.

Issue Date:
February, 2013
The February issue of Environment & Climate News reports on the 8th International Conference on Climate Change, held in Munich, Germany and co-hosted by The Heartland Institute and the European Institute for Climate and Energy. The two-day event attracted nearly 200 attendees.
Also in this issue:
- Florida Gov. Rick Scott wants proof taxpayers are benefiting from the $100 million in subsidies given last year to the renewable energy industry.
- Michigan voters sent a strong message to the renewable energy industry, rejecting a proposed state constitutional amendment that would have forced consumers to purchase 25 percent of their electricity from so-called renewable sources by the year 2025.
- Hawaii is cutting back on solar power subsidies, as the spending is consuming an increasingly large chunk of the state budget and the resulting surge in rooftop solar production threatens the stability of the state's electric grid.
- Global warming will benefit most Arctic species, a team of scientists report in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One. The scientists found global warming will allow most Arctic species to expand their ranges, and no species are expected to go extinct.
- Arizona consumers can expect higher electricity costs because of new EPA restrictions on three eastern Arizona power plants. State environmental officials say the restrictions are too costly and will provide no perceptible environmental benefits.
- Two conservation groups struck a deal with private property owners to preserve 554 acres of land in Sonoma County, California. Analysts say the deal, which creates the Bohemia Ecological Preserve, could serve as a model for future conservation efforts utilizing free-market principles.

STEUBENVILLE - The Jefferson County Board of Health agreed unanimously Tuesday to send a notice of violation to the Apex Sanitary Landfill for failure to pay tipping fees to the health department.
The decision came after a 65-minute executive session that included health board members and representatives from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Ohio Department of Health.
The board members also indicated they will consider the immediate suspension of the landfill's 2012 operating license and the denial of the landfill's 2013 license.
It was the second day in a row the landfill near Amsterdam has come under fire for non-payment of tipping fees to local agencies.
The JB Green Team board of trustees voted unanimously Monday night to ask the Jefferson County prosecutor to pursue possible criminal charges against the Apex Landfill as well as a civil lawsuit claiming a breach of contract.
The decision to pursue legal action against the landfill operations came during a 70-minute executive session Monday night that had been called to discuss contract issues and personnel.
JB Green Team Board Chairman Bob Chapman said the landfill has not paid tipping fees to the solid waste authority for the past two months.
"That is approximately $390,000 in unpaid fees due to the JB Green Team. That is a major revenue source for us and we have a contract that they are not following," said Chapman following the meeting.
"The board has instructed me to send a letter to the Jefferson County prosecutor's office seeking its opinion on possible criminal charges against the landfill. The landfill owners have a statutory and contractual requirement to pay those fees. When solid waste is brought to the landfill the operators are paid a fee. They are the trustees for that money. The landfill is now two months in arrears and my understanding is they haven't paid fees to the state as well. And we have also assessed late fees that have not been paid," explained John Mascio Jr., legal counsel for the JB Green Team.
A spokesperson for the Apex Landfill could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Fiscal Officer Dave Hays reported waste tonnage accepted at the landfill decreased by 3 percent in August, "and was down 14 percent in September."
Health Department Administrator Bruce Misselwitz said the board members also discussed the proposed solidification proposal at the landfill during the executive session.
"The landfill does not have a permit to proceed with that process, so it is at a standstill at this time. And this board remains opposed to the solidification proposal," said Misselwitz.
The county board of health unanimously opposed a request by Apex at the October meeting to accept non-hazardous bulk liquids from shale oil and gas drilling operations for disposal at the landfill facility.
The landfill operators have proposed processing the waste through a solidification basin and then disposing the created solid wastes at the landfill.
According to the draft letter, "the non-hazardous liquid wastes are to be mixed with a proprietary admixture or select absorbent solid wastes until the resultant mixture passes the paint filter test and meets the definition of a solid waste. Apex has also requested to divert accepted select solid wastes and not immediately deposit them at the working face as required by rule so that they may be staged within an enclosed freestanding structure for use in their solidification basin."
Health Commissioner Dr. Frank J. Petrola has said he has concerns about radon and other radioactive materials that may be contained in the drilling waste.
"I informed the OEPA the health board will object to this proposal and the board members will be verbal in their opposition, said Misselwitz.
In other business Tuesday, Misselwitz told the board news of collaboration with the Steubenville Health Department, "came as a complete surprise to me."
"I informed officials any contract between the city and the county would have to be between the city council and the district advisory council. If we entered into a contract with the city as we have had in the past with Toronto the contract would have be be approved by the director of the Ohio Department of Health," said Misselwitz.
"I have suggested a contract or collaboration between the city and the county should be turned over to the Kent State University School of Public Health. They are already doing a study on a consolidation between Youngstown and Mahoning County, Canton and Stark County and Ravenna and Portage County. I have been told I will receive a letter to enter conversations with the city. And if we become one district that will mean we start from scratch with a new board and new staff. After I receive a letter from the city I will schedule a meeting. It could take a year to reach a conclusion," Misselwitz said.

BOSTON -- The state supreme court on Friday ruled that prosecutors will not be able to introduce a gun seized by Brockton police as evidence in a three-year-old firearms case.
The weapon was found in a backpack in a car stopped on July 13, 2011. A Superior Court judge ruled that police failed to conduct a pat search of the backpack to determine if it contained a gun before opening it, and they did not have a search warrant.
The Plymouth County District Attorney's office appealed on the grounds that the pat search was not required, but the Supreme Judicial Court ruled that it was.
The incident began with a call from a woman who said Jaemill Horton, 35, of Brockton had threatened her boyfriend with a gun. An hour later, a police officer stopped a car Horton was driving and attempted to arrest him. Horton and and a passenger, Robert Rutledge, 33, of Boston, fled, while a third passenger stayed in the car.
Horton and Rutledge were later arrested on numerous firearms charges.

I just installed Ubuntu Server again. I've done that quite a few times before.
I try starting the system and get to the point where it changes the font on the screen. A little while after that the monitor flickers and I just get a black screen. After that it flickers some more and doesn't respond to anything.
The weird thing comes when I boot into recovery mode. If I select resume boot (without even doing anything else) it resumes boot and finishes booting, giving me a shell. It definitely isn't just a graphics problem either since SSH won't respond (after resume boot it will let me in).
I put the syslog and the output of dmesg here. I can't distinguish between the failed startups and the successful ones.

Hi guys,
there once again was a question of landscape use of the camera on the panohead on another forum. You just have to turn the whole system/vertical rail to the left side, fix the upper rail the other way round so that the clamp shows towards you and on you go.
This is a very early Pre-Production model of the M1-L. So the marks are already changed now and number on the rail go the other way round. The Nadir Adapter is Pre Production Prototype. I got it to do tests. Thx Nick.
I use a 10cm diameter 350gr paper plate with a centered 6mm hole and two additional ones for the anti twist screws in between the lower rail clamp and the rotator to use Smooth's hacksaw method to find my lower rail setting. You have to cut out the clamps knob as well and use the clamp with the knob on the opposite side of normal use. The clamp has to be fixed opposite to the lens. Otherwise you have the knob on the pics. This works excellent.
I always leave my lens rings on fisheye lenses.
Just to inform you for those who explicit want to use the camera in landscape mode.
Check your lower rail settings, they may be different from normal portrait mode settings.
BTW: this works with NN4 NN5 as well using the NN Arca style clamp instead of CP-2 on the upper rail fixed in the way that you can slide in vertically. Once the system is changed to the left, you have to turn the upper rail by 180 degree so that it looks towards you.

Concerns about fire station
May 12, 2013
To the editor: I am writing this letter to express concern about the closing of the Pleasant Heights Fire Station. I think it is very unjust to put the lives of so many citizens in jeopardy....
Two firefighters at a fire station will not help anyone. Get over the closing and move on.

Well,Steubenville has not had a population of 38,000 since the 1940's. Back then they had seven council members. Now, there are about 18,000 residents and the same number of council members, except now the council members make more money, have more benefits and represent fewer people. Do the math! That is where all of the money went. the same math applies to fire department, water department, police department etc. Every department operates with higher salaries and work for fewer residents. It's not that difficult to understand. If Davison ends up leaving, I wish her good luck in the future and apologize to her for taking a job in this*****hole and getting beat up by the Ohio Valley political mafia!

@TomSays, I was a resident on Pleasant Heights a few years ago my house caught fire, the fire department was at my house literally 3 minutes after I called in 911, "Two" firemen showed up, when I directed to him to where the fire was he entered my home while the other firemen set the pump on his truck and joined the other fireman that was already putting out the fire. By the time the downtown firetruck showed up the fire in my kitchen was already out. The professionalism of those men and the quickness of their response saved me a ton of money. So Tom my statement to you is "Move On". You have no clue oh yeah and Get over IT!

The "Powers That Be" are crazy, thinking that it's a good idea to close the Pleasant Heights Fire Station & you people living there are crazy for not fighting for your Fire Station...that hilltop is a tinder box, as are all the other old neighborhoods...you've got to make a new plan...if just one small fire gets out of control, many homes could be destroyed & people will die.

Ms. Brown's argument makes plenty of sense. May cooler and wiser heads prevail and keep that fire station open.

RICHMOND - Missed opportunities proved costly for the Edison girls' soccer team on Senior Night.
Wheeling Central was leading 2-1 midway through the second half when the Wildcats got two golden opportunities to tie the score, including on a penalty kick, but Edison was unable to convert and the Maroon Knights held on for a 2-1 victory Tuesday night at Edison.
"We had a few chances we didn't put away," Edison (8-5-1) head coach Jeremy Angelo said. "Both teams had chances to score. They scored two. We scored one. It was a good game."
Bethanie Bube netted the lone goal of the game for the Wildcats. Meghan Brooks assisted on the goal.
Ashton Cross and Cate Calissie each collected goals for the Maroon Knights (11-6). Both goals were unassisted.
"The girls played well," Wheeling Central head coach David Cross said. "They were sleeping a little bit early in the game. They got the ball down the side, and they were able to get a cross in for the goal.
"We did not play great offensively. We average about four goals a game."
Wheeling Central goalie Regan Blaha made seven saves, including one on Allie Byrley's penalty kick in the second half.
"That was an excellent save," coach Cross said. "She made a nice play. She was able to get down and stop the ball. That's the way we do it in practice."
Katie Oinonen made 10 saves for the Wildcats.
"I talked to other coaches," Angelo said. "They have two talented girls up top. They have speed in the back. We played hard. We just didn't execute.
"Give credit to Wheeling Central. They did what they had to do to get the win."
Coach Cross said he did not know much about the Wildcats heading into Tuesday's game.
"I haven't seen them play," he said. "This is the first year we have played. I didn't know about the team or how they played.
"They remind me of Charleston Catholic. Offensively, they like to get the ball down in the corner and cross it.
"No. 27 (Bube) is a very-good player. She is very fast.
"They are similar to Madonna."
"The missed PK ties the game," Angelo said. "The girls played hard. The effort was there. The execution was not. That is something we can work on at practice. We played hard. We just didn't execute."
The game was the final home game for the Wildcats' eight seniors - Sam Montgomery, Ashley Borsch, Meghan Scott, Kylie Long, Chelsea Zdinak, Hannah Miller, Brooks and Byrley.
"We played under the lights three years ago when Allie's sister Jordan played," Angelo said. "We played Big Red."
Wheeling Central's next game is Thursday at home against Magnolia up on Field 4.
"We didn't lose to a team that didn't have any wins," Angelo said. "They made the Cup. There is why they did, and we saw that tonight."
Edison's next match is an Ohio Division II Eastern District Sectional game against Harrison Central at 6 p.m. Tuesday at Red Devil Stadium in St. Clairsville.
"We beat them 6-0 or 7-0 at their place," Angelo said. "Now, we get to play them on a bigger field down at St. Clairsville."

What's left of a home hit by a tornado in Harveyville, Kan. on February 28, 2012. Photo by Eric Ives
PERRY, Kan. (WIBW) -- It's been more than a week since buildings in Harveyville were ripped to shreds by a tornado, leaving debris littering the town. The wreckage landed close to home for one Perry woman, who got a surprise at her mailbox.
Georgie Stebbins says there's a lot in this world we don't understand, like why tornadoes rip through small towns, leveling homes, and churches, or how a reminder of the wreckage, something so small, could travel so far.
On Monday, Georgie spotted a piece of trash while checking her mail.
She says she can be a nag about litter, but what she saw made her heart start pounding.
Georgie had picked up a United Methodist Church program, not from Lawrence or Topeka, but all the way from Harveyville, from the church no longer standing, some 40 miles away.
"Did the wind carry this all the way from Harveyville and deposit it right by my mailbox? Did it stop someplace else and then the wind pick it up and bring it? Who knows?" Stebbins said.
Georgie says it's a reminder to take care of personal and important papers, to protect them in case of natural disaster. And she says it's a sign that devastation, though not in your front yard, could be closer than you think.
"It breaks your heart, really. It's a small congregation and I know it'd be hard for them to replace. It isn't rebuilding, it's replacing hymnals and everything that was lost," Stebbins said.
Georgie says she plans to send a donation to the Harveyville United Methodist Church, and she encourages others to do the same.

Hash Earns First-Team All-Region HonorsMarch 13, 2014
HARTSVILLE, S.C. – Anderson University standout guard Chandler Hash has been named to the 2014 Daktronics Division II men's basketball All-Southeast Region first-team, as announced Thursday morning.
Hash, the nation's leader in total points scored this season with a school-record 757 points, has helped lead the Trojans to their fourth NCAA Southeast Regional Tournament in the last five years.
The Greer, S.C., native is a two-time First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference honoree and ranked fifth in the nation with his 24.4 points per game average. He notched a career-high 44 points in last Saturday's SAC semifinal win past Coker and followed by pouring in 33 points against Lincoln Memorial in the conference championship on Sunday afternoon. He was named the SAC Tournament MVP for his efforts.
The 6-foot guard has started all 59 games for the Trojans over the past two seasons and has reached double figures in all but four of those contests, including 12 games of more than 30 points.
Hash has garnered accolades off the court as well, earning Capital One Academic All-America Second-Team honors and is the reigning South Atlantic Conference Scholar-Athlete for men's basketball.
Lincoln Memorial senior forward Vincent Bailey was voted the Southeast Region Men's Basketball Player-of-the-Year. Bailey led the Railsplitters to both the South Atlantic Conference regular season and tournament titles, scoring 21.6 points per game and pulling down nearly 10 rebounds per game. Those numbers both ranked second in the SAC, and his 61.6-percent field goal shooting was the league's fourth-best. The forward finished the regular-season with 14 double-doubles – tied for the SAC lead – and scored 20 or more points in 17 of LMU's 26 games.
Joining Bailey on the Daktronics Southeast Region first team were forwards Antoine Davis of Carson-Newman and Roderick Perkins of Erskine, along with Hash and guard Troran Brown of Montevallo.
Selected to the second team were guards PJ Foster of Limestone, Ronald Zimmerman of USC Aiken, Evrik Gray of Francis Marion, Ish Sanders of Carson-Newman and Chris Flemmings of Barton. Forward Ishmael Hollis of North Georgia rounded out the Southeast Region second team.
Players selected to the region first team will now be listed on the Daktronics All-American national ballot. The All-American team will be announced Monday, March 24.
The team is sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition. The team is voted on by the members of the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).

Can somebody re-written this list comprehension in Scala, please? Scala has no even or odd function? So i must use

Bob....I understand the concerns you express. However, the drivers smoking pot has been going on since the 60's!!...might as well tax it and regulate it. At least it would create some jobs and revenue and right now we have neither....and maybe if we smoke enough of it, we will forget obama and his cronies even exist!!!

What is the source for a Kallah (bride) to circle her Chasan (bridegroom) seven times at their wedding?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
The Kallah encircles the Chosson seven times under the chuppah, from the verse "A woman shall go around a man." (Jeremiah 31:22)The act also recalls the seven times Tefillin straps are wrapped around The arm. Just as a man binds himself in love of Hashem, so is his bond in love to the Bride. The number seven represents the completion of the seven day process in which earth was created. During these seven days, the earth revolved on its axis seven times. Since marriage reenacts the creative process, the Kallah's encirclement symbolizes the repetition of these seven rotations.The Chosson is compared to a king. Just as the king is encircled by his legion, the groom is to be encircled by his bridal entourage.
Summarized from:Jewish Wedding Traditions
Kitzur Shulchan Aruch 147:5 says 7 times.
