Bonnie 'Prince' Billy | 01/01/70
Hang on to your beards, because it's a bumper Bonny bag o' bits today; a whole bucketful of news. Are you sitting comfortably (preferably with a glass of your favourite moonshine-flavoured soft drink)? Then let's get to it.
2012 is shaping up to be a celebratory year for Bonnie 'Prince' Billy. First there was Will Oldham on Bonnie 'Prince' Billy – the recently published book of his reflections on a truly idiosyncratic approach and ethos that have seen him rub shoulders and share stages/recording space with the disparate likes of Johnny Cash, R Kelly, James Earl Jones and Bjork in a quarter-century stretch of fearless artistry. The wonderful Faber & Faber published conversation with long time collaborator and friend Alan Licht illuminates the scope and scale of Bonny's unique vision, allowing never-before-gleaned insight into the ideas of mystery, intimacy, spontaneity and community that run deep through his formidable canon of work.
Between 1993's There Is No-One What Will Take Care Of You Palace Brothers debut and last year's Bonnie 'Prince' Billy return Wolfroy Goes To Town, Bonny has released no less than seventeen studio albums, twenty-five EPs and five live albums. Be it in the guise of Palace Brothers, Palace Music, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy or simply under his birth name, the integrity of Bonny's output has remained a constant and his journey through (and indelible impression on) the storied landscapes of American country, folk, punk and indie-rock is incomparable.
It is in the spirit of celebration of an artistic life so remarkable that Domino is this year to re-issue six classic Bonnie 'Prince' Billy recordings dated between 1996 and 2004. On July 30th, new, re-named editions of Palace Brothers release Arise Therefore (1996) and Joya (1997), the definitive Bonnie 'Prince' Billy debut I See A Darkness (1999) and subsequent BPB albums Ease Down The Road (2001), Master And Everyone (2003) and Greatest Palace Music (2004) will be available under Oldham's now stable Bonnie 'Prince' Billy moniker.
Whether starkly primitive and intensely spare as Arise Therefore, rich with haunted grace like I See A Darkness or swinging with an almost straight-up country lushness on Greatest Palace Music, these albums represent a golden era for Bonny as a writer – his powerfully affecting, deeply human meditations on sex, death, isolation and longing achieving a rare universal understanding despite being rooted in a fiercely intimate system of belief.
For less compulsively prolific and relentlessly creative artists it may be tempting to sit back and enjoy such a handsome retrospective at this moment in time but that is plainly not the Bonnie 'Prince' Billy way. Enter another new release, the Now Here's My Plan EP – a collection consisting of new versions of Bonnie 'Prince' Billy classics recorded by Steve Albini, due for release in accompaniment with the Will Oldham on Bonnie 'Prince' Billy book on June 4th and separately through Domino on July 24th. Now Here's My Plan features members of the Wolfroy Goes To Town band with whom Bonnie 'Prince' Billy currently tours and records. You can pre-order Now Here's My Plan HERE.
The track listing of the Now Here's My Plan EP is as follows:
- I Don't Belong To Anyone
- Beast For Thee
- No Gold Digger
- After I Made Love To You
- I See A Darkness
- Three Questions
The Wolfroy players are Ben Boye, Van Campbell, Emmett Kelly, Danny Kiely and Angel Olsen.
The six Bonnie 'Prince' Billy albums which are being reissued on the 30th of July are:
- Arise Therefore
- Joya
- I See A Darkness
- Ease Down The Road
- Master and Everyone
- Greatest Palace Music

California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo will join forces with California State University, Fresno and College of the Sequoias (COS) to develop plans to assist returning service-members seeking training in the agricultural field. In an effort to prepare veterans for long-term agricultural careers, these educational institutions will work with the International Agri-Center in its development of the Ag Warriors program.
"We're looking to the experts to help us develop the educational aspect of Ag Warriors," said Stacey Beachy of the International Agri-Center. "With commitments from Cal Poly, Fresno State and COS, we're one step closer to helping veterans get the training they need to secure professional careers in the agriculture industry."
Many veterans who might otherwise excel in agriculture lack the requisite training, certification, familiarity or access to initiate careers in agriculture. The Ag Warriors program at the International Agri-Center will facilitate the necessary training and certification for returning veterans to enter the industry.
"We believe the agricultural community is well suited to provide jobs to returning veterans," said Jerry Sinift, CEO of the International Agri-Center. "Many of our friends in agriculture have expressed a need for bright, motivated and hard-working individuals to join their teams-Ag Warriors will be the conduit that connects employers with veterans in search of careers in agriculture."
The program will officially launch at the Ag Warriors Gala on February 15, 2012 during World Ag Expo in Tulare, California. The event will include a keynote address from the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush. For more information, or to make reservations for the Ag Warriors Gala, visit www.AgWarriors.com or call 800-999-9186.

More than 20 million gallons of water were lost during Tuesday's massive water main break near UCLA, doubling the initial estimate, officials said.
Crews were still shutting off water to the busted pipe under Sunset Boulevard north of the UCLA campus Wednesday afternoon. Repairs weren't even expected to begin until after the water was shut off, said James B. McDaniel, the senior assistant general manager for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power's water system.
"This is a very unfortunate incident," he said during an afternoon press conference. "This is one of our bigger ruptures. It is a major event for us."
Hundreds of vehicles are stranded in flooded parking structures and historic Pauley Pavilion's court shows signs of damage after a water main break Tuesday that sent up to 10 million gallons of water gushing onto Sunset Boulevard and the UCLA campus for more than three hours.
At a mid-day news conference, school officials said they are waiting for areas to "dry out" before they can provide detailed damage estimates. Campus officials characterized the campus as in a "drying phase" Wednesday after the water removal process continued overnight.
Large blower machines were being used in the historic Pauley Pavilion, Arthur Ashe Student Health and Wellness Center, JD Morgan Center and John Wooden Center. School officials said Wednesday morning the Pauley Pavilion court showed signs of "expansion and buckling."
The break occurred at the Y-shaped meeting point of a 30-inch pipe installed in 1921 and a 36-inch pipe installed in 1956. Both pipes ruptured and blew open a 25-foot wide, 5-foot deep sinkhole at about 3:30 p.m. in the 10600 block of West Sunset Boulevard, officials said.
"I can't speculate on what caused the leak at this point," said Jeff Bray, of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. "This repair is at the Y where the 30-inch main comes in at an extreme angle to the 36-inch main. The top of the pipe just lifted up and created an opening in the pipe."
As for repairs and detailed damage assessments, crews must wait until after the closure of two leaks discovered along the pipes. The pipes deliver water to the area at a high velocity from Upper Stone Canyon Reservoir, a body of water about eight miles north of Westwood near the Sepulveda Pass.
"We cannot begin repairs until we get the water completely down," Bray said. "We're looking at an extended period of time."
Repairs are likely to cause traffic problems in the heavily traveled area through Thursday because Sunset Boulevard between Veteran Avenue and Hilgard Avenue will be closed for road work.
Two parking structures and six facilities on the UCLA campus were damaged. UCLA had crews working throughout the night to remove water from those buildings.
"Unfortunately, UCLA was the sink for this water source," said UCLA Chancellor Gene Block said.
About 900 cars were inside Parking Lot 4 and Parking Lot 7, the two parking structures affected by the flooding. Officials say because the water may be mixed with toxic chemicals such as oil and gas, the water has to be safely removed and cannot just be pumped out into the street. UCLA is working with private companies to remove the water from the structure, Moore said.
Officials say the cars in the structure will not be accessible until Friday.
"A little less than half are totally submerged," said Kelly Schmader, assistant vice chancellor for UCLA.
Motorists traveling in the area should use Santa Monica Boulevard, Wilshire Boulevard or Olympic Boulevard to avoid the road closure.
All UCLA summer camp programming, including recreational activities, were suspended Wednesday, according to campus officials.
NBC4's Samia Khan contributed to this report.

The Glenwood boys track team won the Cardinal Relays on Friday in a rather unlikely way: by trying not to win.
Well, at least, that wasn't their main goal.
Glenwood coach Mark Starner took his track team to Clarinda with the intention of using the meet as a spring board for his team to qualify in an as many events as possible for the upcoming Drake Relays.
The Glenwood girls track team tied with Creston for second place in the team standings at the Lady Cardinal Relays in Clarinda last Tuesday.
Atlantic shared the team title with Griswold with both racking up 118 points. Glenwood scored 90 points to match co-runner up Creston.
Shaniece Nott earned the Rams their sole individual gold medal by winning the 110-meter dash in 12.98. Nott added a second place showing in the 200-meter dash.
Michaela Moore scored a pair of goals and the Glenwood girls bounced back from a season-opening loss with a 2-0 win over Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson on Thursday.
"We were a much improved team than from when we played St. Albert," said Glenwood coach Brad Silvey.
After giving up three goals to St. Albert in a season-opening 3-2 loss on Monday, the Rams pitched a shutout on Thursday thanks to a little better intensity and a few adjustments by Silvey.
The Glenwood girls golf team edged East Mills 232-274 last Tuesday to improve to 2-0 in duals this season.
The Rams were led by Charley Arno's match best round off 55. Morgan Woodrum backed that up with a round of 58 for second.
Chelsee Bird had a round of 59, Cassie Ford shot a 60, Chloe Newman finished with a 63, and Adria Skarnulis a 69 for Glenwood.
The owner of a unique boutique on the east side of Town Square in Glenwood says her business is continuing to grow since opening last August.
"Glenwood has been very receptive to the business," said Stephanie Patzer, owner of Second Helpings Boutique.
The Glenwood Community School District intends to have its next superintendent selected by the end of next week.
The four finalists for the position are all currently serving as public school superintendents in the state of Iowa. The finalists are Devin Embray of Independence, Dr. John Weidner of Wapello, Dr. Daniel Frazier of Sioux Central and Jeff Herzberg of Sibley-Ocheyedan.
The four finalists will each spend a full day in Glenwood over the next week being interviewed by school board members, district staff and members of the community.
The Glenwood Community High School Jazz Band has qualified for the Iowa Jazz Championships (IJC) for the seventh year.
The Iowa Jazz Championships are a unique event that brings together 60 of Iowa's finest high school jazz ensembles to Des Moines for a day of jazz each April. The event was founded by Iowa High School Jazz educators 35 years ago and it continues to be an important event on the high school band landscape each year.
The Glenwood boys soccer team overcame some early jitters and strong winds to post a 2-0 victory over Neola Tri-Center in the season opener for both teams.
"The wind was a big factor for both teams," said Glenwood coach Mike Artist. "We had it in the first half and I don't think we took great advantage of it."
The Rams got on the board first when forward Beau Johnson bent a shot around a four-man wall into the upper right corner of the net for the goal on a penalty kick from 30 yards out in the 21st minute.
The Glenwood Boys track team continued its dominance of the Hawkeye 10 Conference Southern Division Meet by winnings it third consecutive team title at Red Oak last Tuesday.
The Rams led from start to finish dominating nearly event, placing in the top three in all but two events and winning ten events at the meet.
Ardie Dusenberry and Joyce Raabe share a friendship and a passion.
A passion for music.
"Music is the love of my life," Dusenberry said earlier this week as she contemplated playing the organ and electric piano at no fewer than five Holy Week services. "The church has always been very important to me and I think music is the backbone of the worship service. You have music when you come into a church and it always kind of just sets the mood."

Your Jeep - June 2014Posted in How To: Tech Qa on May 27, 2014
Touchy TBI
So last year a buddy who is a lot smarter than I am helped me swap a GM TBI ('90s-era from a junkyard) on my swapped-in AMC 360 V-8 in my '80 CJ-7 (it replaced a worn out 304ci). It runs really well, but the throttle is too touchy. I'm using the gas pedal assembly that came with the Jeep and it's got a fiberglass tub. We mated the cable to the TBI throttle arm on the driver side (hope that's what it's called). It is extremely hard to feather the gas for smooth acceleration, especially off-road. We made it out to Moab for EJS 2013. My first time in Moab, and while I loved the fuel injection at altitude and on the steep hill climbs, I hated not being able to give a small amount of throttle smoothly. It requires so much force to get the pedal to move that when it finally does give, the pedal goes way farther down than I want it to and my CJ-7 jerks forward. I don't even know where to begin. Do I need an aftermarket pedal assembly? Do I need to modify the pedal assembly I have? Can I get different load-rated springs for the arm on the TBI?
Joel Gabler
Via email
Initially I thought that you probably had the throttle cable going to the wrong hole on the throttle body, but after looking at your picture and my two Jeeps with Howell fuel injection (which is a slightly modified version of the GM TBI you have), I can see that that is not the problem (see image above). So here is the next step. First I'd pull out the throttle cable and give it a good cleaning. I suspect that junk between the cable and cable housing is causing your touchy throttle issue, and with a little cleaning the problem will be resolved. It should slide in and out with almost no resistance. Give that a try, and if it does not help there is one more thing you can try. Move the engine-side mount for the throttle cable housing to adjust the position of the gas pedal inside the Jeep. Try moving the mounting point of the throttle cable under the hood up and slightly towards the front of the Jeep so that the butterflies are open fully when the gas pedal is just about to hit the floorboard.
'Nother GM Small Block Swap?
I own an '84 CJ-7, Howell injected 4.2L backed by a TF999, Dana 300, AMC 20 rear with Auburn Pro Series limited slip, Dana 30 front with Detroit Truetrac, MileMarker hubs, 3.73 gears, and custom driveshafts (double cardan rear). I have a '68 Chevy 307ci short block that was removed from a Chevelle in 1968. It has less than 500 miles on the clock and has been in the crate ever since. I intend to freshen it up, add a mild RV cam, and transfer over the Howell TBI. The TF999 is stock with less than 10K since a rebuild. Is it feasible (or smart) to adapt the GM engine to it given the other drivetrain components already installed? The CJ is currently set up with a serpentine belt system with a Jeep Air aftermarket A/C which has to be figured into the installation. Does anyone have a kit or a comprehensive list of parts needed to make this installation idiot-proof? Also, what is the least painless exhaust treatment? Stock cast iron manifolds, block hugger shorty headers maybe? I'm not a fan of fender well headers. Your sage advice would be a life-saver on this project.
Mike Aitken
Yucca Valley, CA
Mike, this sounds like a cool swap for sure. I'd say the TF999 would be up to the task of handling that GM 307, and there is an adapter from Advance Adapters (PN 716131-A, $489.28) to mate an old-school small-block Chevy V-8 to an AMC six-cylinder (or V-8) TF999. As an alternative you could go to a GM TH400 or TH350 and adapt the Dana 300 to it (with the adapter costing about $500), but I don't think there is much benefit in strength to doing this if your TF999 is healthy and since you already own it. Also, the GM tranny pan will interfere with the front driveshaft. You will also need motor mounts to convert to the GM engine, the exhaust (as you point out) will need work, you may need new driveshafts and a Chevy conversion V-8 radiator because the hose outlet/inlet are on opposite corners. I also searched and found over 40 different shorty headers on summitracing.com that seem to fit a 307ci in a '68 Chevelle. One set has to work for your conversion. The only real complications that I see are the following: First, your serpentine beltdrive on the 258ci and A/C compressor means you'll need to figure out serpentine accessories drives for the older GM V-8 and a mount that will work with your A/C compressor. Summitracing.com lists at least a few serpentine drive belt kits that should work with a GM 307ci V-8. Second, the Howell on your 258ci is probably a throttle body from a 4.3L V-6 rather than a small GM V-8, so it may not move enough fuel and air to keep the 307ci happy, especially with an RV cam. I am sure Howell would be happy to tell you if it will work, or if you will need to upgrade to the GM V-8 throttle body.
Verne Is a Neanderthal
Hey, how's it going? Just wanted to drop you a line and say how much I enjoy your work. I'm looking forward to seeing the tranny swap in your Shrink Ray TJ. I did want to mention in the Grand Cherokee "How To Build It"article you list the '93 as the only ZJ with the AX15 when that was an option through 1995. I don't mean to come off as a stickler I just wanted to give you a heads up. My previous Jeep was a '95 ZJ with the AX15, and it was a hoot. Have a nice day and keep up the good work.
Eric Merillat
Via email
Thanks for the kind words, and also thanks for the info. Honestly, I have never seen any ZJ with a manual, and for a long time I doubted their existence altogether, as I had only heard rumors of them. One rumor had it that some police departments had ZJs with V-8s and five-speeds, which seemed off, since all I know is that the cops generally like autos -- and donuts). Anyway, it's good to know they were available up until 1995 in ZJs.
Someone once said, "To err is human," and based on my prominent brow ridges, large cranial size, love of rocks, dirt, hand tools, and meat roasted over a fire, I may just be at least part Neanderthal. It's not a big deal, momma still loves me, but it also might mean I make errors more often. Luckily, I am happy to learn about anything Jeep -- from the comfort of my cave -like office -- even if it means I am occasionally wrong.
Also, the tranny swap in Shrinky is under way, and I can't wait to get it finished so I can see how nice that deep first gear is on the trail. Keep your eyes peeled for the tech on the swap.
Drum to Disc Never Dies
Hello. First off, keep up the good work. I've been reading Jpfor about a year now, and I think you guys are doing a smashing job! The only thing I would like to see more of is more coverage and tech articles on the CJ-2A and CJ-3A. One question that I have is what would be the easiest way to swap the drum brakes over to disk brakes? Can I use my existing hub/spindle? What caliper bracket could I use? Thanks and keep the shiny side up.
Nicholas Castetter
Corydon, IN
Man I wish we had more flattie tech, too. Oh boy, time to start looking for a new project. Of course lots of the tech in this issue also applies to early CJs including -2- and -3as.
Believe it or not, a long time ago I wrote an article called "Drum to Disc" about putting disc brakes on my CJ-3A. It was back in the 00s, in other words, way back when. The pictures are in black and white, but they still work for showing people how to swap to much better brakes on Dana 25s, 27s, and early Dana 30 front axles. So you could track down a November, 2001 copy of Jpand check out the article, or you can check it out at fourwheeler.com/how-to/93298-drum-to-disc-brake-upgrade/. Now you can track down all the parts for the brakes I talked about in the article like caliper mounting brackets from a '73-'91 1⁄2-ton GM 4x4, '71-'78 1⁄2-ton GM 4x4 front calipers (and pads), Rotors from a '77-'78 CJ (the ones that are 11⁄8-inch thick), 10 longer wheel studs (we used Dorman PN 610106), and spend some time figuring this conversion out. Alternatively, you can get a disc brake conversion kit and new brake master cylinder from Herm the Overdrive Guy (http://hermtheoverdriveguy.com).
Write Us!
Got a tech question you're just itching to get answered? Send it on in to Jp Magazine, Your Jeep, 831 S. Douglas St., El Segundo, CA 90245, or e-mail it to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Women on Waves Cleared of Accusations in Poland
After a four-month-long investigation, Women on Waves has been cleared of charges of breaking strict abortions laws by of performing illegal abortions in Poland and by introducing the abortion pill mifepristone (RU 486) into the country. According to Women on Waves, the prosecutor's office dismissed the accusations due to a lack of evidence that the Dutch foundation had broke any Polish laws.
According to Women on Waves, the ship affected public opinion in Poland regarding abortion rights. A poll conducted by the Centrum Banania Opinii Spolecznej (the official Polish polling company) showed that 61 percent of Polish people want abortion laws to be liberalized, which was only 44 percent before the ship's visit to Poland.
Under the current law in Poland, women are permitted to obtain abortions only when the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, when the pregnancy constitutes a threat to the life of the woman, or when there is "heavy, irreversible" damage to the fetus. According to the Polish Federation of Women and Family Planning, because of these restrictions there are as many as 200,000 illegal abortions performed in Poland each year.
Women on Waves is a non-profit organization based in the Netherlands whose mission is to prevent unwanted pregnancy and unsafe abortions throughout the world. The Dutch organization provides abortion and reproductive health services to women on a specially equipped ship. Dr. Rebecca Gomperts commissioned the construction of a mobile clinics suitable for placement on a ship that sails to countries where abortion is illegal. By sailing out to international waters, she is able to provide essential reproductive services to women, including non-surgical abortions, contraception, and counseling.

They threw random possessions off rooftops, made printed copies of Japanese currency and perpetrated odd "happenings" in commuter trains that left Tokyo residents scratching their heads.
No wonder these artists have been dismissed as just another group of nonsensical pranksters.
But there was so much more to the underground artists who made Tokyo an epicenter for the avant-garde in the late 1950s and early 1960s, UCLA historian William Marotti argues in a forthcoming book.
In "Money, Trains, and Guillotines: Art and Revolution in 1960s Japan," Marotti contends that the two dozen or so renegades gave voice through their art to postwar angst and in so doing presaged countercultural concerns that would reverberate worldwide in the late 1960s and early '70s.
"By delving into what these quirky artists were doing, you discover what was going on in politics and culture at the time," Marotti said.
Duke University Press is gearing up to publish the book as New York's Museum of Modern Art mounts a major retrospective devoted to the art movement. "Tokyo 1955–1970: A New Avant-Garde," which runs through Feb. 25 at MoMA, showcases more than 200 pieces from the era, 20 of which figure in Marotti's book.
An associate professor of history at UCLA and an affiliated scholar with the university's Terasaki Center for Japanese Studies, Marotti is a leading authority on Japan's postwar avant-garde. "Money, Trains, and Guillotines" is the product of two decades worth of investigation of the movement and its key figures, who are little known in the West, with the exception of the transnational artist Yoko Ono. For the book, Marotti interviewed more than 40 prominent players and mined multiple archives and dozens of private collections in the U.S. and Japan.
In the book, he credits the movement with "the unearthing of hidden connections to politics and history in the simplest objects of daily life" and "the identification of the world of the everyday itself as the central space for investigation and transformation." Taking aim at what was then a newly expanding consumer society, their results were so controversial that they often attracted the attention of the police.
"In a certain sense, agents of the state became some of this art's most enthusiastic appreciators," Marotti said. Authorities "identified the nascent political potential within it."
Artists who figure prominently in the book include:
Akasegawa Genpei (1937–)
Akasegawa's monochrome works on paper depicting 1,000-yen notes started attracting the attention of law enforcement and a wider public in 1963. Eventually, he was convicted on obscure obscenity laws, and his conviction was upheld by Japan's Supreme Court. Although Akasegawa never served jail time, the case, which dragged on for seven years, became a cause célèbre and ended up exposing the limits on artistic freedom and freedom of speech embedded in the Japanese constitution that Allied forces left in place after the occupation, Marotti argues. Today Akasegawa is a popular author in Japan.
Nakanishi Natsuyuki (1935–)
Nakanishi started attracting attention in 1962 with his "Compact Object" series, which embedded bones, clock parts, watches, eggshells, eyeglass lenses and other delicate objects in polyester egg shapes. He is now a world-famous artist.
Imaizumi Yoshihiko (1931–2010)
Imaizumi, together with Nakanishi, conceived a plan for a guerrilla art installation of a giant glass guillotine in the Imperial Plaza outside the emperor's palace in Tokyo. The work, "Equipment Plan," referenced a controversial 1960 short story in which Japan's emperor and his family are beheaded, which at the time of publication had triggered rightist violence and repression; it also referenced the artist's frustration with the lack of accountability for Emperor Hirohito's role in World War II and the crushing of popular protests often centered in the Imperial Plaza itself. "Equipment Plan" ended up being abandoned due to funding and logistical issues, but the unrealized work became a touchstone for a new political practice of art. Imaizumi subsequently helped found the radical Bigakko art academy, teaching there until his death in 2010.
Takamatsu Jirō (1936–98)
Takamatsu, along with Nakanishi, attracted attention in 1962 by staging "happenings" on Tokyo's central Yamanote train line. Wearing everyday clothing, the artists unsettled commuters by applying white face paint and improvising performances on the trains and stations with "Compact Object" and other art pieces that incorporated everyday objects. Prior to his death in 1998, Takamatsu had achieved substantial international acclaim as an artist.
Kazakura Shō (1936–2007)
Kazakura's extraordinary performance-art experiments included sirens, nude "happenings" and voluntary branding with a hot iron. Along with Akasegawa and Takamatsu, he attracted attention in 1964 with a series of "happenings" in which they threw everyday objects — such as an umbrella, a satchel, a suitcase full of clothes and a bed sheet — off the roofs of tall buildings. Kazakura today is recognized as a pioneering performance artist.
Shinohara Ushio (1932–)
Shinohara, a member of Japan's neo-Dada group, began attracting attention in 1960 with a series of performed "paintings" created by smacking canvases with boxing gloves dipped in ink. Distinctive for his Mohawk-style haircut and hugely energetic and colorful canvases and sculptures, the now–Brooklyn-based Shinohara went on to international acclaim and is currently enjoying a particularly strong resurgence in popularity.
These and other Japanese artists rose to prominence in the calm after a politically stormy period in which Japan's progressive elements rose up in protest against the U.S.–Japan Mutual Security Treaty, Marotti found. Ultimately signed into law in 1960, the revised treaty formalized Japan's role as a key Cold War ally of the U.S. and partner during the Vietnam War.
In an attempt to co-opt opposition to the treaty and stifle activism on the part of labor, Japan's new prime minister, Hayato Ikeda, promised to double Japanese citizens' incomes in a decade, making the state the guarantor of consumer comforts. The high-growth era entailed marked lifestyle shifts and necessitated long commutes for a growing number of Japanese in dense apartment blocks concentrated on the expanding periphery of Tokyo and other urban centers. Meanwhile, the government was going out of its way to project a rehabilitated image of itself. This drive, Marotti writes, "became increasingly oppressive as the [1964 Tokyo] Olympics drew near, the event that was to symbolize Japan's triumphant emergence from under the clouds of wartime and reconstruction, standing on its own as a showcase of U.S.-sponsored modernization."
Abandoning the social realist style that had previously typified Japan's progressive artists, this avant-garde forged a new vocabulary to challenge what they saw as their country's newfound compliancy. Through pieces incorporating found objects, such as "Compact Object," the artists prodded fellow citizens to question the wave of consumer culture overtaking the country, Marotti contends.
The happenings and other interventions, meanwhile, were designed to expose what the author calls "hidden forms of domination in the everyday world," taking art into the streets and trains to intercept Tokyo residents during their long commutes with the purpose of "agitating" the suddenly quiescent citizenry. In one Olympics-related happening described in the book, avant-garde artists donned white lab coats and surgical masks and got down on their hands and knees to scrub sidewalks in Tokyo's tony Ginza district — an effort receiving praise from the tone-deaf authorities, Marotti recounts. The Fluxus group would later repeat this action in New York City.
Meanwhile, with single-sided monochrome prints of the 1,000-yen note, which were decorated with the image of an imperial prince, and the unrealized guillotine escapade, the artists were perpetrating what Marotti describes as a "symbolic attack" on the postwar constitution's continued elevation of the emperor as a symbol of authority. Their oppositional activity emerged from and engaged a long history of art and political protest hearkening back to the postwar occupation period.
Marotti credits an annual art show sponsored by a prominent newspaper, the Yomiuri Shinbun, with having galvanized the avant-garde at the time. That is, until the exhibition was abruptly suspended in 1964 because, in the words of detractors, "it was disturbing public order."
The artists were also stimulated by such American neo-Dadaists as Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns, who eschewed traditional concepts of aesthetics and whose work was exemplified by the use of modern materials, popular imagery and absurdist contrasts. But in many ways, Marotti concludes, the Japanese artists were ahead of their times, with a critical focus and organizational strategies that anticipated guerrilla art, wrapped art and Pop Art — and moreover, the key political concerns of the late 1960s.
"While working independently, these artists were very much 'of the moment,'" he said. "They grasped this explosive moment in consumer culture and analyzed its political effects."

Protagonist Definition
A protagonist is the central character or leading figure in poetry, narrative, nove,l or any other story. A protagonist is sometimes called a "hero" by the desert Sand Burton desert Sand suede boots Burton Burton boots suede Burton suede Sand Sand boots desert qxWU6f or readers. The word originally came from the Greek language, and in Greek drama it refers to the person who led the chorus. Later on, the word started being used as a term for the first actor in order of performance.
Iago in Shakespeare's Othello could be identified as the protagonist of the novel because he played a central role in all the controversies of the play. The question here would be that, even though he was a central character, was he really the lead character too? This type of indistinctness generally results in completely different interpretations of whether the said character is a protagonist or not.
Examples of Protagonist from Literature
Example #1: Hamlet (By William Shakespeare)
Protagonist examples in many stories are not shown to be flawless. They generally undergo some change that causes a turn of events, which makes a story interesting and helps deliver a message. Sometimes, a moral weakness is highlighted that causes the fall of the protagonist. For example, in William Shakespeare's play Hamlet, the protagonist experiences terrible events because of his indecisiveness, which troubles him while murdering his evil uncle. So, Hamlet's struggle in dealing with the antagonist is what precedes the story.
Example #2: Vanity Fair (By William Makepeace Thackeray)
A protagonist can sometimes be very controversial because of some evil traits. One of the good examples of protagonist who is controversial would be Becky Sharp from William Makepeace Thackeray's Vanity Fair, who is occasionally be very manipulative in order to achieve her own interests.
Example #3: As I Lay Dying (By William Faulkner)
There are ensemble stories that do not particularly highlight either one of the characters more than the rest. For instance, Addie Bundren's demise in the novel As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner, results in her family traveling a long way to bury her, and they all tell the story from their own perspectives, which makes them all equally important to the story. Thus, it leaves us with more than one protagonist in the same story.
Protagonist Examples from Cinema
Example #4: Star Wars (By George Lucas)
In the movie Star Wars the character of Luke Skywalker was developed by George Lucas. He plays an outwardly naïve farm boy. Luke desperately wants a life different from his monotonous existence. After his uncle's and aunt's demise, he has no other choice but to join forces with Obi-wan Kenobe. Luke later matures to understand the customs of The Force. His antagonist in the movie is Darth Vader, who turns out to be Luke's father. They both get into a major conflict but eventually Luke succeeds.
Function of Protagonist
A protagonist is a very important tool used in developing a story. There are different terms used for a protagonist, such as hero, focal character, central character, and main character. Regardless of what title you give a protagonist, he or she remains the key ingredient in the development of the story, which is why the story revolves around him or her. More often than not the protagonist is fair and virtuous, and is always found supporting the moral good. Further in the plot the protagonist may undergo some change, which will probably be the climax of the story.
Being the central element puts grave responsibilities on the shoulders of a protagonist. Since, the story revolves around the protagonist, he is the one who has to work as an emotional heart of the story, helping the audience connect with it on a basic level. A well-constructed protagonist attracts the audience emotionally, and lets them relate to the joys, fears, and hopes of the character in the story.
The events occurring in a story are always viewed from the perspective of the protagonist. The audience decides whether or not a particular event is favorable in a story. A wedding is an important and positive event in The Sound of Music because it is a positive event for the protagonist, Maria. However, the same kind of event in the movie While You Were Sleeping would be unfortunate because in that case the protagonist Lucy was marrying the wrong person.
Some stories weave many characters into an ensemble story, but even in such stories there is often one character that is more important to the story than the rest. For instance, in The Lord of the Rings trilogy there are many characters that have great significance to the story, but Frodo Baggins is the one who stands out, because everyone else's destiny rests in his hands.

The recently introduced 24x7 taxi service owned and operated by women entrepreneurs for female travellers, called "She-Taxi," is to add a new facility, car pooling, a state government official said on Wednesday.
The "She-Taxis" were launched last month in the Kerala capital, and ferries only women passengers.
The vehicles are also driven by women.
The "She-Taxi" project was initiated by Gender Park, a new branch of the state government's department of social justice, meant to unify all activities aimed at achieving gender equality in the state.
"Gender Park now will roll out a facility of 'car pooling' as part of the She-Taxi services for women commuters. This is expected to aid professionals and students who travel to the city everyday from the suburbs and outskirts," said Gender Park CEO P.T.M. Sunish in a press statement issued on Wednesday.
The rates for the car pooling service will depend on the distance each traveller travels, and will be fixed by the driver.
The She-Taxi, which started with five cars, is all set to expand to a fleet of 25 cars from the new year. In three months, it is expected that 100 vehicles on city roads will be part of the She-Taxi service.
Maruti Suzuki India Ltd is partnering with Gender Park as the official supplier of the customised pink-and-white cabs.
The cars will have facilities like GPS, precision metering systems, personal and emergency alert systems, in-car entertainment and other luxuries.
Fleet operations and marketing are handled by the Technopark-based Rain Concert Technologies Ltd, and a round-the-clock call centre will be set up for the purpose.
The taxis will have access to the control room through the day and night, and will be monitored and assisted by police.
Since its launch last month, She-Taxi has seen tremendous response, especially during the recently concluded International Film Festival of Kerala in Thiruvananthapuram.
"Looking at how successful it has proved in one month, more women entrepreneurs now want to operate their own taxis," Sunish told IANS.
"Car pooling is certainly going to bring down the cost of travel. We are waiting for it, because if three of us travel together, it would cost us less in that taxi than in an autorickshaw that each of us hires separately," T. Mridula, an engineer working at the IT campus in Technopark said.
All cabs are metered, and equipped with an electronic payment system that allows commuters to use credit or debit cards while paying the fare.
Customers could also pay in cash.
The control room also tracks the taxis in real time, using GPS.
"It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed."
"Envy comes from wanting something that isn't yours. But grief comes from losing something you've already had."

We mentioned yesterday that within hours of being released by the Cowboys, veteran safety Will Allen was spotted at the Steelers facility.
It was not just a social call, as Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports Allen has signed to rejoin the Steelers today.
The corresponding move hasn't been announced, though Dulac said safety Damon Cromartie-Smith is expected to be released to make room for Allen.
The Steelers have been willing to shake things up a bit in the wake of their 0-4 start, which beats the alternative. And bringing back a guy who was around when they actually won games is the next step.

The best of my Thursday at SXSW
Peter Bruntnell
Peter Bruntnell is an alt-country legend in England but has been relegated in the U.S. to a few tours opening for Son Volt and other twangy headliners. But his songwriting is equal to many more famous than he, and for more than a decade his band has been one of the top in the genre. His appearances in the U.S. have dwindled in recent years, but he said at SXSW that he was trying to get some dates. He's got a new album just out, but if you want to delve back in the past for his best, it's called "Normal for Bridgewater."

The Liberty Flames Division II men's hockey team lost a close match to the Temple University Owls on the road in Philadelphia, Pa., Friday night, falling 6-5 in a shootout.
The Owls made good on their final shootout attempt after Liberty missed all six of its chances.
Temple got up early in the game, and jumped out to a 3-0 lead after one period.
In the second period, the Flames slimmed the margin to one after goals by Josh King and Peter Kamzierczak. But the Owls scored once more, taking a 4-2 lead heading into the final frame.
Liberty battled back in the third, as Brent Boschman cut it back to one and Brad Docksteader scored the equalizer. The Owls regained control with their lone goal of the third period. Kamzierczak sent his second goal of the night home to tie the game at five and force overtime.
Neither team managed the overtime "golden goal," forcing the shootout.
Nick Devine took the loss in goal, picking up 45 saves on 50 attempts for a 0.90 save percentage.
Liberty continues its road trip Saturday afternoon at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Game time is set for 4:30 p.m.

Taranaki is my second home. No matter where I've lived in NZ, Taranaki has always been the spot that called me home to my wider family. Both sides of my family come from this area, so I know it well. That being said, until I started taking an interest in photography, I'm not sure I had appreciated just how photogenic it actually is. Firstly there's the show-stopping centrepiece of the region, Mount Taranaki – although blink and you may miss it with so many days where it is under its cloak of cloud.
There's also the Cape Egmont lighthouse out west which makes a captivating foreground if you can manage to catch a shot of it when the mountain is in view, or Lake Mangamahoe which also provides a great view of the mountain with a reflection if you're lucky. But the best views are generally if you can get up on the mountain itself, with one of the most popular spots being the Pouakai Tarns for some amazing mountain reflections. It took me two trips and a night sleeping rough beside the tarn but I finally got the shot I wanted on my last visit!
With so many great surf beaches, along the coastline, you can catch a great sunset at Back Beach with the Sugarloaf Islands or Paritutu in shot, and there's the little known Gairloch shipwreck which provides added interest to a seascape photo further down the coast. The famous Tongaporutu landmarks of the Three Sisters are also within an hour's drive but sadly they aren't quite as fascinating now the Elephant Rock has succumbed to erosion. Within the city centre itself, there's also Te Rewa Rewa Bridge, Lake Rotomanu and Pukekura Park to provide ample opportunities for photographic variety.

Singapore police helping Europeans over fixing
Singapore's police said on Tuesday it was helping its European counterparts investigate a syndicate accused of fixing the outcome of hundreds of football matches.
"The authorities in Singapore are assisting the European authorities in their investigations into an international match-fixing syndicate that purportedly involves Singaporeans," the Southeast Asian city-state's police said in a statement.
"Singapore takes a strong stance against match-fixing and is committed to working with international enforcement agencies to bring down transnational criminal syndicates, including those that involve the acts of Singaporeans overseas, and protect the integrity of the sport."
In a scandal that has tarnished the world's most popular sport but which some pundits have said is old news, about 680 suspicious matches have been identified in an inquiry by European police forces, the European anti-crime agency Europol and national prosecutors.
A German investigator described a network of couriers taking bribes around the world to pay off players and referees.
"We have evidence for 150 of these cases, and the operations were run out of Singapore with bribes of up to 100,000 euros paid per match," said Friedhelm Althans, chief investigator for police in the German city of Bochum.
Singapore allows suspects to be sent only to countries with which it has an extradition treaty. Germany has such a treaty with the regulated, wealthy Asian city-state but Italy, which made the original complaint about match-fixers, does not.
Extradition also requires "common criminality" - a suspect must have allegedly done something illegal in Singapore that gives its police the grounds to detain him.

Being charged with a sex crime is a frightening and humiliating experience for most defendants. Even the mere allegation has the power to forever change someone's life. Not only is prison time almost a given in most cases, but there are additional punishments such as being labeled a sex offender and being compelled to register under the Sex Offender Registration Act (SORA) and the public scorn that goes along with it. Not only are sex crimes unique with its "dual punishment" but the courtroom procedures are specifically altered as well. These are known as "special accommodations."
Screenings or Shielding
In some cases, the court may allow the complaining witness ("victim") to be shielded from the defendant while testifying. This could be accomplished by simply having the defendant and prosecutor switch tables so the witness is not direct in view of the defendant, or it could involve placing a barrier in between the witness and the defendant, such as a chalkboard. However, the defendant must still be able to see and hear the witness and be able to communicate with his attorney. Sometimes the court may exclude all unnecessary persons from the courtroom.
The court will base its decision on a number of factors "necessary to protect the welfare of the witness." The court takes into consideration the age of the witness and the nature of the offense. If the witness and/or the witness's family or guardian desire to have the witness testify in a room closed to the public, the court will be taken into consideration. Often these occur when the complaining witness is a child or minor. At trial, the same accommodations can be given in addition to the attorneys being ordered to stand at the podium infront of the witness stand to ask questions of all witnesses.
According to MCL 600.2163a(9)(a)-(c), the judge must consider these factors on the record when making his decision. The prosecutor must give notice to the defendant that they are seeking to use a shield or screening so the defendant has an opportunity to object. However, such objections usually fall on deaf ears as caselaw supports these special accommodations although they can be highly prejudicial by suggesting to the jury that the defendant is someone to be feared and the witness is right to be fearful of him. It elevates the rights of a witness above the Constitutional rights of the defendant.
Support Person
The prosecution may also seek to allow a support person to accompany the complaining witness when testifying. Under MCL 600.2163a(4) and MCL 712A.17b(4), a child or developmentally disabled witness must be permitted to have a support person with them or be in close proximity to the witness while testifying. This applies to all stages of proceedings, not just trial. The prosecutor must serve a Notice of Intent upon the defendant and all other parties stating the name of the support person and their relationship to the witness. The support person is just to comfort the witness by their presence; they are not allowed to coach the witness or speak to them while they are testifying. The court and defense counsel should be cognizant of the potential for unduly suggestive nonverbal communication between the support person and the witness.
Being charged with a sex crime can have a devastating impact on your life and the lives of those around you. Even if you are just being investigated, you need legal representation. Never, ever agree to talk to the police, CPS, or take a polygraph without first consulting with a lawyer. If you are facing criminal sexual conduct (csc) charges, call Austin Legal Services, PLC today at (517) 614-1983 to speak to a Michigan CSC defense lawyer.
