Oh god....I have no clue what to say....."West Side Story" gangsters looked more dangerous....seriously...
What I love most is the catholic use of the title for the archbishop's visit.
HBO's Oz already covered this ground.
This is awesome.
I hope if I ever lose my legs that someone gets me a skateboard so I can tool around Bham. You know, for protests, and whatnot.
so, according to the video, the inmates are protesting against the words of jun lozada, who testified against the filipino president in recent senate hearings. the president of the philippines is gloria arroy--hence "protest dance!"
i really love my people.
This video is like a laptop in my dunebuggy, it just doesn't make sense.
Does anyone know why and/or how they do these dance numbers? Is it part of their rehabilitation? Are they forced to dance? It doesn't look like it. Does anyone know anything else about this prison? (i.e. recidivism rates, etc.)
The president of the Phillipines is Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.

Trevor Smith, who laid flowers at the scene along with his mother and Amy's great grandmother Jean, said: "We're going to miss them all. They were just loveable children.

Shrien Dewani, who is accused of arranging the murder of his wife, Anni, on their honeymoon, will undergo a 30-day psychiatric assessment before his trial starts in October, after prosecutors received conflicting reports on his mental health.
In his third appearance at the High Court in Cape Town, the millionaire businessman was ordered to undergo the same type of month-long assessment, by a panel of doctors, as Oscar Pistorius, the paralympic sprinter, who is also accused of murdering his lover.
Prosecutors said they had received conflicting reports on Mr Dewani's mental health, after he was extradited from Britain in April

SIFF Get Your SIFF Notes Now!
posted by May 23 at 10:13 AMon
The Stranger's comprehensive guide to the Seattle International Film Festivalfiercely opinionated, unafraid to geek out, and piles upon heaps of fun (you laugh now, but just wait until you set your eyes upon "Match the Boy Tit to the Gay-Themed Movie")won't hit the streets till later today or tomorrow, but you can access all 174 original reviews and 139 terribly informative synopses at SIFF Notes Online now.
SIFF Notes Online lets you plan with ruthless efficiency: Search films by date and "Stranger recommends," check out our pick of the day (which won't go active until Thursday, duh), and read Slog posts like this oneplucked from the chaos and allowed to air out on SIFF-exclusive territory. And if you see a movie you like, you can move fast: We provide a link straight to that film's entry on the SIFF website so you can purchase a ticket within minutes.
Be sure to pick up a copy of the print guide toowe've got at least 15 last-minute changes and corrected errors that the official guide can't offer.
Also, you can subscribe to the weekly SIFF Notes podcast to hear my festival recommendations and the latest news and gossip.
And as an addendum: A colleague just asked me to recommend a date movie for opening weekend. I'll get to the straight-up best selections in a day or two, but if you're on the make, my schmoopy suggestions are after the jump.
Golden Door stars Charlotte Gainsbourg as a mysteriously unaccompanied English lady aboard a vessel packed with dirty, dirty Italian immigrants. Beautiful cinematography and a lightly romantic plot featuring plenty of supersized carrots will keep everyone feeling sweet and goofy.
Paris Je T'Aime is an omnibus feature exploring 18 (out of 20) Paris arrondissements, with entries by Gus van Sant, Alfonso Cuaron, the Coen Brothers, and (obviously) lots more. I haven't seen it yet, but apparently it is not as cheesy as it sounds.
Another French option is The Singer. It stars an ugly man, but it puts one in a wondrous mood.
I do not recommend Knocked Up.

Posted on 02/11/2012 9:24:18 AM PST by JoanVarga
"In fact, he says, schizophrenia did not rise in prevalence until the latter half of the 18th century, when for the first time people in Paris and London started keeping cats as pets. The so-called cat craze began among poets and left-wing avant-garde Greenwich Village types, says Torrey, but the trend spread rapidlyand coinciding with that development, the incidence of schizophrenia soared. "
If I had to guess, says Torrey, Id say 75 percent of cases of schizophrenia are associated with infectious agents, and Toxo would be involved in a significant subset of those.
"Closer inspection of Flegrs reaction-time results revealed that infected subjects became less attentive and slowed down a minute or so into the test. This suggested to him that Toxoplasma might have an adverse impact on driving, where constant vigilance and fast reflexes are critical. He launched two major epidemiological studies in the Czech Republic, one of men and women in the general population and another of mostly male drivers in the military. Those who tested positive for the parasite, both studies showed, were about two and a half times as likely to be in a traffic accident as their uninfected peers. "

Most cat people don't give a crap about leash laws and let their "indoor" cats outside all the time, and then scream for them to come home, pissing off the neighbors.
Liberal. They let their cats crap and hunt on everyone else's lawns and believe leash laws don't apply to their animals. They will scream at you if you show them the law that shows all animals need to be under the owner's control at all times.
No blood anymore is well done.
We had one cat for years. She adopted my son when we were on a Florida island for a couple of months. We held like that for about ten years and then...the oldest son brought his two cats to us as he headed off to study in Europe. Now we have three and it is too many.
I feel for you because you were at the right number for your house and you had another person place their cats onto you, and then left you in charge of all of them.
I don't have a real beef with cats either, one of my favorite cats was a neighbor cat who acted like a dog to me. Loved that guy more than his owner did. Saved his life a couple times too.
Actually, as you probably realize, I was trying to hurt you as much as you hurt us cat lovers. I figured your type was a pitbull lover.
Dogs have owners-Cats have staff.

Thanks JoanVarga."If I had to guess," says Torrey, "I'd say 75 percent of cases of schizophrenia are associated with infectious agents, and Toxo would be involved in a significant subset of those."Worth it.
Cats are actually tiny women in little fur coats...
That's why they drive us crazy...
This reminds me of that Star Trek movie where Khan captures Chekov and puts kittens in his ear to control his mind.
So, if you love ALL domesticated animals, then why did you shoot and kill the cat? After all, it wasn't the cats fault that his owner let him loose to crap in your yard. The owner is at fault, yet the cat was the one killed. Perhaps you could have found the cat a better home???
You have my word that before I ever repeat the actions taken that you seem to despise so much , I'll notify YOU and allow YOU the necessary time to come to their rescue. Oh , and please review my earlier post in regards to the said " owner " of the cats.
Best Wishes To You Sistabrista ,
Snoot :o)
There's a real undercurrent of "I hate women" on this site. And y'all aren't even Muslim. Go figure. LOL
It was a joke. Please try to lighten up... /g
I appreciate your snide offer to notify me prior to killing anymore cats. Just so happens, I am volunteer with a local cat rescue in my town, and I rescue and foster homeless cats. Perhaps next time before killing innocent kitties, you can call an organization such as this.

I Need You To Behave
Marker pen and stickers on c-type print
34.7 x 29 cm
I Need You To Behave shows the Oval Office inset with a news clipping of guide dogs trained to operate ATMs. Adorned with a sticker and marker pen drawing, ReidŌĆÖs photo-collage dissembles notions of power and corruption to ridiculously abject proportions. ŌĆ£The text is like a psychotic voice addressing the image,ŌĆØ says Reid. ŌĆ£ThereŌĆÖs an imperative in the way that the text works in relation to the image. The drawing is a continuity of the photograph. ItŌĆÖs all organised quite formally and done very quickly. ThereŌĆÖs not a lot of time spent considering, and I do more than I use, make and edit later. Each work is developed from a bank of association. ItŌĆÖs informed, but the connections come from the habit of making. Most of my work deals with the idea of absurdity ŌĆō things like ŌĆśHomerŌĆÖs fingerŌĆÖs too fatŌĆÖ, cultural things that enter parlance, things that get picked up amongst friends: theyŌĆÖre like symptoms or a currency. This ties in with physical awkwardness; itŌĆÖs related to our physical relation to things, like making art.ŌĆØ

Take No Photographs, Leave Only Ripples
27 silver Inkjet prints
each 84 x 120 cm, or 120 x 84 cm
Clunie Reid approaches the junk food menu of consumer culture with bulimic gusto: gluttonously binging on the whole of mass media only to regurgitate it, macerated and comically bilious. The more she consumes, the leaner her work gets, distilling the very essence of pop consciousness. Using the photographic image as both her subject and media, Reid takes pictures of advertisements, newspapers, magazines, TV, and the internet, things she finds on the street, things in her studio; she even re-photographs her photos. She makes collages and drawings on them, scrawls absurd logos, spontaneous retorts to the cameraŌĆÖs neatly packaged imagery. And then she re-photographs them again. ŌĆ£The images are not enclosed thematically,ŌĆØ Reid says of Take No Photographs..., ŌĆ£they were chosen because of how they can be played off each other. IŌĆÖm interested in advertising, the way in which images of bodies and objects have a relationship to the way our view of the world is constructed. By vulgarising this imagery, my work explores the hidden mechanics of image construction, highlighting things which are implicit in media.ŌĆØ
Clunie Reid
Window, Smoke, Square
Marker pen and stickers on c-type print
34.7 x 29 cm
In Window, Smoke, Square, Reid constructs an image to reiterate the viewerŌĆÖs processes of perception. The piece shows a detail of a generic magazine picture which Reid re-photographed (the glare in the bottom right corner is a result of her cameraŌĆÖs flash) and then over-layed with a decorative sticker and text. Labelling every element of the photo, Reid compounds the act of looking to a state of hyper-consciousness. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs about the amount of information you have in an image,ŌĆØ explains Reid, ŌĆ£how you make sense of an image if everything is active in telling you what it is. The work is proactive, or interfering, with a transparent viewing process: the degrees of substantiality or surreality of the thing in the image in relation to just seeing the image as purely icon. The square is a square but also something else, the room is negative space but is positive in comparison to the text, and the girl is reduced to the level of the other objects in the image.ŌĆØ
Clunie Reid
Marker pen on C-type print
34.7 x 29 cm
ReidŌĆÖs observed ŌĆślifeŌĆÖ lived through the lens cumulates as a sublime private/public collapse, a nervous breakdown of mixed messaging, unattainable ideals, transparent clich├®s and hypocrisies. Picturing a photo of Pete from Big Brother taken from a gossip magazine, Reid uses his celebrity persona as a departure point into making. Pete, who has become the countryŌĆÖs most famous face of TouretteŌĆÖs Syndrome, is well known for his clowny behaviour which intentionally exaggerates the perception of his condition, turning his ŌĆśfreakishnessŌĆÖ into a charismatic attribute. The stripes drawn on top of the photo roughly approximate the TV flickering of skewed transmission. Made with marker pen and a ruler, the ink bled under the rulerŌĆÖs surface creating aberrant smudges from what might have been a perfectly straight line, they suggest a sense of violence and beauty in their degraded communication.
Clunie Reid
She Gets Even Happier
Mixed media (63 components)
Dimensions variable
ReidŌĆÖs work is a testament, symptom, and purge of media over-identification: situating herself as a kind of human ŌĆśbroadbandŌĆÖ, she streams the experience of information overload in her large-scale photographic installations. These replicate the omnipresent bombardment of media messaging, as well as the internal expanse of the psyche. Her consumed images are re-ordered, re-authored, and personalised, subsumed into a warped constructed identity. She Gets Even Happier presents dozens of photographs, drawings, and collages on roughly cut foam-board, each humorously hung with a wire, a cartoon lingo for ŌĆśpictureŌĆÖ. ŌĆ£I wanted to find a way to present photo images on that kind of scale,ŌĆØ Reid explains. ŌĆ£Their multiplicity could also be something bigger, operate more ambitiously, be more monumental. It also allows me to go beyond the photo, to write, scrawl beyond the image, to play with something thatŌĆÖs a bit more autographic or direct ŌĆō a bit like graffiti or vandalism.ŌĆØ
Clunie Reid
ItŌĆÖs Time For Bed Cassiopeia
Marker pen on silver inkjet print
112 x 84 cm
Reid describes her work as: ŌĆ£Drawing narratives or paradoxes between images and materials. IŌĆÖm drawn to images that suggest hyperreal or transcendent states: the body, derelict and abject images, images that can also be made to oscillate between these. ThereŌĆÖs often a sexual matrix in the work; loads and loads of really simplistic jokes that come from Freud or Lacan For Beginners, really bottom-level dumb jokes.ŌĆØ In ItŌĆÖs Time For Bed Cassiopeia, Reid plays off the Greek legend of Cassiopeia, a beautiful vain queen who was imprisoned in the sky, in a star constellation that often appears reversed. Her duplicity is rendered in ReidŌĆÖs silver foil-based portrait as a background divided in two parts. The figureŌĆÖs face, taken from a Manga porn character, is embodied in a crude sexy drawing; her top half set against shrewd calculating blue, and her nether bits bathed in tempting red, both warranting the applied parental advisory label.

She Likes The Way She Feels
Mixed media on silver inkjet print
84 x 112 cm
She Likes The Way She Feels was made at a time when Reid was working on an animation featuring Pamela Anderson in a shower, and much of its visual ŌĆślogicŌĆÖ extends from her film; this illustrates ReidŌĆÖs creative processes of stream of consciousness association, overlapping images and ideas in continuous cross reference that mirror mediaŌĆÖs output. The background is a negative and reversed image of a casino, its aqua blue hues and solarised treatment reference water: ŌĆ£as a spiritual or subjective state, of being in perfect harmony with oneŌĆÖs surroundings,ŌĆØ Reid explains. ŌĆ£The text suggests a self-conscious feeling of pleasure, and a movement towards that being objectified. ŌĆśAttentionŌĆÖ at the bottom brings it all back to a narcissistic self image.ŌĆØ Covered with super-girlie decals, Reid points to the infantilisation of female sexuality in popular culture.
Additional images and information ŌĆō Clunie Reid
Representing gallery ŌĆō Clunie Reid
Clunie Reid lives and works in London, UK and is represented by MOT International. She has been selected for East International 2007 and has had a recent solo exhibition at Keith Talent Gallery, London.
'Cats Bum Mouth', 'What useful things did he teach you?', 'Deep Decline', these are some of the words scrawled over photographs, culled from the pages of trash magazines that Clunie Reid seems to have amassed over the last few years.
Images are ripped from their original context and re-appropriated. Over these images Reid adds text, hand written in marker and ballpoint pen, often taken from films, the adverts or intuitive responses by the artist to the content of the original.
Everything in the studio is potential material for the work as it all gets photographed and then is open to inclusion. Apart from an extensive image collection this includes all the normal detritus of the studio so that it's partly a record of the process of generation. I would not be influenced by an artist so much as, on liking them, make them explicitly present within the work itself.
Group show at One in the Other gallery - My idea for this show is more intuitive; inspired by the notion of a dialogue between the objects, rather than a sense of ŌĆ£direct communicationŌĆØ, or strong over-arching curatorial concept. I chose a group of artists that I found interesting at different levels and approaches, whose work I felt would create a meaningful dialogue with each other.

I've built my app this way and everything seems to be working more or less. After hearing about the notoriously low iAd fill rate I decided that this would be the best method, but I tried googling it and i couldnt find record of anyone else implementing ads in their app like this. Does this violate the TOS?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Why not use Adwhirl. Its great sdk that enables you to do exactly what you need. You can set priority settings for different ad networks which can be changed on the fly if you find one network performing better than others etc.
It handles all the logic for which ad to show based on request failure or priority without you needing to worry about it. All you do is create an adwhirl view and request an ad. Adwhirl does the rest, including appropriate refreshing. If an iAd fails first time, and then shows an admob, but the next iAd loads successfully, it will be shown instead of the admob, assuming you set iAd as a higher priority network.
Are you hiding the ADBannerView by setting visible to NO? With the ADBannerView, if you set visible to NO, then it stops asking for ads. To "hide" the ADBannerView, you need to translate it to someplace off screen.
You can use these controls to show iAds as well as adMob both
Or here is nice tut that explain step by step
I have iAds and Admob.
I highly recommending loading an iAd first and if you dont get an Ad use admob. iAd has a much higher ECPM than admob if you get an ad. Remember that iAd refreshes every 30s so the did not get ad method will be called several times.
My app has been approved you can get it, Octopus Oracle. http://kurl.ws/Ay
You can use AdWhirl and its best tutorial is here Tutorial
I ended up with this strategy:
first of all I have created 2 outlets from the storyboard, one for the
In your viewDidLoad you can do this:
So here you hidden both banners (if you prefer you can do it directly in storyboard). then you wait 35 second before to display the google ads. So before to display the google ads you basically want to see if iAD it's available.
this is the method used to display the google banner:
so before to display the google banner, we ensure that the iAD banner and the adMob banner are not displayed yet. If that it's the case, then we can send the request to display the ADMob banner.
Here my implementation of the
what I basically did on these delegates it's to check if the iAD banner it's available, if that it's case then I'll hidden the adMob banner. If the iAD finished to display the ads, then I'll call the ADMob banner see
You can easily adapt this logic tu your implementation.

"Suicide Squad" B-Roll Footage Reveals Harley Quinn's Classic Jester Costume
Film, Comic Books
Graphic novels | This week is Banned Books Week, when the American Library Association releases its list of the 10 most challenged books of the previous year. This year's list includes three graphic novels: Persepolis, Saga and Drama. Michael Cavna discusses graphic novel with Charles Brownstein, executive director of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, who points out that Drama, which was challenged for being "sexually explicit," is just the opposite: "In the incidents I've personally been involved in, and many others, the book's light touch is precisely what infuriates those who want to take it off the shelves — there's a sense that's been communicated to me and others that kids shouldn't be reading that being gay is a normal part of the human experience." [Comic Riffs]
Censorship | During a panel at Comic-Con International, members of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund criticized a student's attempt to have four graphic novels banned from her college campus. Crafton Hills College student Tara Shultz and her father, Craig Shultz, have called for Fun Home, Persepolis, the first volume of Y: The Last Man, and the second volume of The Sandman, all of which were included in a course on the graphic novel as literature, to be removed not only from the course but also from the college bookstore. The school has refused. CBLDF director Charles Brownstein noted that this is part of a troubling new trend: Graphic novel challenges at the college level. The CBLDF has been involved in 18 college cases so far this year, up from 10 in all of 2014. [Redlands Daily Facts]
Creators | "Opus's [voice] came screaming back at me — true— when I faced those four empty panels that I hadn't done since 1989," cartoonist Berkeley Breathed told Michael Cavna, explaining why he is returning to his comic strip Bloom County after a lengthy absence. He also discusses the possibility of self-publishing rather than going with a newspaper syndicate: "Dead-tree media requires constancy and deadlines and guarantees. This flattens the joy. It also presents a huge income. It's an interesting trade-off, isn't it?" [Comic Riffs]

A course on graphic novels as literature at a California college won't carry a disclaimer after all, despite a statement by the school's president that one would be included in response to a student's complaint about adult content in some of the required reading.
According to Redlands Daily Facts, a Crafton Hills College spokeswoman said the disclaimer was never mandated, and Professor Ryan Bartlett, who teaches the English 250 course, ultimately decided against one.
"College is supposed to be a place where students can have real exchanges about sometimes difficult topics," Bartlett said in an email. "An English major will have to read works in the literary canon (for example Shakespeare, Chaucer and the Bible) which include similar issues present in the chosen graphic novels. If we put a disclaimer on this course, then we should put a disclaimer on all literature courses, and I do not feel comfortable going down that slippery slope."
Following a student's protest over the contents of the graphic novels required by her English 250 class, Crafton Hills College President Cheryl A. Marshall has issued a statement saying the college will not ban any books or alter the content of the course.
I support the college's policy on academic freedom which requires an open learning environment at the college. Students have the opportunity to study controversial issues and arrive at their own conclusions and faculty are to support the student's right to freedom of inquiry. We want students to learn and grow from their college experiences; sometimes this involves reaffirming one's values while other times beliefs and perspectives change. In this specific case, the syllabus distributed on the first day of class contained the list of required reading materials allowing students the opportunity to research the books and make a choice about the class. The class is one of numerous electives available for completion of the English degree. We are attempting to avoid this situation in the future and Professor Bartlett has agreed to include a disclaimer on the syllabus in the future so students have a better understanding of the course content. I know he appreciated the differing views presented by Ms. Shultz in his class.
College student Tara Shultz is the latest in a long line of people to be shocked to find that Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi's graphic memoir about growing up during the Iranian revolution, contains violence.
A 20-year-old attending Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa, California, was so dismayed by the graphic content in four of the graphic novels required by her English 250 course — official description: "the study of the graphic novel as a viable medium of literature through readings, in-class discussion and analytical assignments" — that she and her parents are seeking to have them banned by the administration.
In addition to Persepolis, Shultz took exception to Alison Bechdel's Fun Home, the first volume of Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra's Y: The Last Man, and Neil Gaiman, Mike Dringenberg & Co.'s The Sandman: The Doll's House, due to the depictions of sex, violence and "obscenities."
"I didn't expect to open the book and see that graphic material within," she told the Redlands Daily Facts. "I expected Batman and Robin, not pornography."
Three comics — Persepolis, Saga and Drama — were among the 10 most frequently challenged books last year in U.S. public schools and libraries, according to the American Library Association. This appears to be the most comics to make the list.
The organization released the annual findings of its Office of Intellectual Freedom as part of National Library Week. In 2014, the OIF received 311 complaints to remove or restrict materials in public libraries or in school curricula, up only slightly from the year before.
Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi's memoir of her life as a child and young adult in Iran during the Islamic revolution, came in at No.2, with complaints frequently citing "gambling, offensive language [and] political viewpoint" as well as its "graphic depictions." Although the ALA doesn't note specific challenges, we reported last year on incidents in Oregon and Illinois.
The Ball-Chatham School Board in Chatham, Illinois, voted unanimously this week to keep Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis on a reading list for seniors at Glenwood High School.
Mike Housewirth, the father of a student, had asked that the graphic novel be removed from the list, questioning the teacher's judgment in assigning a book about Muslims on Sept. 11. He also objected to the book's depictions of torture (particularly one in which a guard urinates on a prisoner) and dismembered bodies.
"If my son had drawn a picture like that at school, he would have been expelled," Housewirth said, adding that while he felt his son was mature enough to read the book, the overall tone was "appalling."
"Reading controversial material does not hurt students or corrupt them," countered Glenwood High School Principal Jim Lee. Students don't simply read a book and accept it at face value, he added; they use it as a springboard for discussion and reach their own conclusions.
A school board meeting in Murphy, Oregon, turned heated Tuesday when a board member went head to head with parents about Marjane Satrapi's graphic memoir Persepolis.
According to the Medford Mail Tribune, the parents object to the availability of the graphic novel in the Three Rivers School District's high school libraries. Some contend teenagers shouldn't have access to the book without parental approval.
Depicting Satrapi's experience as a child and young adult in Iran during the Islamic revolution, Persepolis has received almost universal acclaim. The 2007 animated adaptation directed by Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud was nominated for an Academy Award. The graphic novel was at the center of a controversy in March 2013, when Chicago Public Schools ordered its removal, sparking protests from parents, teachers and student. That order was quickly rescinded, but CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett asked that Persepolis no longer be taught to seventh-graders, as it may not be appropriate for that age group.
This year's Banned Books Week, slated for Sept. 21-27, will spotlight comics and graphic novels, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and the Banned Books Week planning committee announced today. Graphic novels have been the subject of a number of library and school challenges over the past few years, and the American Library Association's most recent list of frequently challenged books includes, incredibly, Jeff Smith's Bone.
Comics and graphic novels are somewhat more vulnerable to challenges because of their visual nature: While one would actually have to read To Kill a Mockingbird or The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian to find potentially offensive content, all a would-be guardian of morality has to do with comics is flip one open and leaf through the pages looking for Naughty Bits. That's apparently what happened when the Chicago Public Schools attempted to remove Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis from classrooms; the move was based on a few panels taken out of context.
Retailing | Finally breaking its silence regarding the feud with Hachette over sales terms, Amazon acknowledged it's buying less print inventory and "safety stock" from the publisher and is no longer taking pre-orders for its titles. And while Amazon conceded that "Hachette has operated in good faith and we admire the company and its executives," the retail giant said "we are not optimistic that this will be resolved soon." The company also recognized the affect the dispute may have on authors, revealing it offered to fund 50 percent of an author pool to help mitigate the impact. Hachette responded, saying it was glad Amazon has admitted its actions have an effect on authors: "We will spare no effort to resume normal business relations with Amazon—which has been a great partner for years — but under terms that value appropriately for the years ahead the author's unique role in creating books, and the publisher's role in editing, marketing, and distributing them, at the same time that it recognizes Amazon's importance as a retailer and innovator." [Publishers Weekly, GalleyCat]
The students of Lane Tech College Prep High School, who rallied in March to protest the ordered removal of Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis from Chicago Public Schools, have been honored with the Illinois Library Association's 2013 Intellectual Freedom Award.
The protest, organized by the student body and the 451 Degrees Banned Book Club, was sparked by an email from the principal calling for the removal of the graphic novel from Lane Tech's library and classrooms ahead of what was thought to be a Chicago Public Schools ban. Within hours of the news circulating, and amid outcry from teachers, parents and students, district CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett clarified that Satrapi's autobiography wasn't being removed; rather, it was being pulled from the seventh-grade curriculum over concerns that some of its content may not be age-appropriate. Chicago Public Schools released images from the graphic novel depicting a man being whipped, burned with an iron and urinated on, which Byrd-Bennett referred to as "powerful images of torture."
Depicting Satrapi's experience is a child and young adult in Iran during the Islamic revolution, Persepolis has received almost universal acclaim. The 2007 animated adaptation directed by Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud was nominated for an Academy Award.
The National Coalition Against Censorship has written to Lee Ann Lowder, deputy counsel for the Board of Education of Chicago, questioning the school district's authority to remove Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis from seventh-grade classrooms. The letter is signed by NCAC Executive Director Joan Bertin and Comic Book Legal Defense Fund Executive Director Charles Brownstein, as well as representatives from PEN American Center, the National Council of Teachers of English, and other organizations. I don't usually find myself on the opposite side of an issue from these folks, but my own opinion is that this case has been overblown.
Here's the backstory: On March 14, employees showed up at Chicago's Lane Tech to physically remove Persepolis from classrooms and the library and ensure no one had checked out any copies. This seemed sinister, to say the least, and word spread literally overnight. As parents planned a protest on March 15, Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett backtracked and said the book was to be removed from seventh-grade classrooms but not from school libraries. Byrd-Bennett said the district would develop guidelines for teaching the book to juniors and seniors, and possibly in grades eight through 10 as well, but it's not clear whether the books also were removed from those classrooms.
I think the issue here is really not the removal of Persepolis but rather the way the Chicago Public Schools handled it.
Comics sales | The direct market continued its rise last month, with comics and graphic novel sales up 22.59 percent compared to March 2012, according to Diamond Comic Distributors. Marvel routed DC Comic in this month's sales, claiming 40 percent of the market to DC's 27 percent. [ICv2]
Conventions | The fire marshal had to turn away hundreds of people Sunday from the DoubleTree Hotel in Tampa, Florida, where the two-day Tampa Bay Comic Con was being held. An estimated crowd of 4,000 were crammed into the lobby and the ballroom (which is designed to hold a maximum of 1,200 people), with many hoping to see The Walking Dead star Lauren Cohan. Organizers conceded they need a larger venue for the twice-yearly event. [Tampa Bay Times]
The controversial removal of Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis last week from seventh-grade classrooms of Chicago Public Schools had at least one positive side effect: healthy sales of the 13-year-old graphic novel at local bookstores.
DNAinfo reports several area booksellers sold out of the memoir over the weekend following a directive by CPS CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett telling schools to stop teaching it as part of the seventh-grade curriculum "due to the powerful images of torture in the book." The school system is also reviewing whether Persepolis, which chronicles Satrapi's childhood in Iran during the Islamic revolution, should be taught to grades eight through 10.
The initial order, reportedly sent by district staff without administration approval, called for a system-wide ban, with removal beginning Wednesday afternoon at Lane Tech College Prep, sparking a protest Friday by teachers, parents and students. The National Coalition for Censorship also sent a letter to the district, urging the return of the graphic novel to classrooms. According to Progress Illinois, hundreds of students at Lane Tech also participated in a sit-in Monday morning, while those at Social Justice High School organized a read-in.
According to DNAinfo, by Monday no copies of Persepolis were available at The Book Cellar in Lincoln Square, Quimby's in Wicker Park or Women & Children First in Andersonville.
"Whenever something gets banned, we kind of like to push it more," said John Khosropour, an employee at Unabridged Bookstore in Lakeview.
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund joined the Kids' Right to Read Project and the National Coalition for Censorship in urging Chicago Public Schools to return Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis to seventh- through 10th-grade classrooms.
The award-winning graphic was pulled Wednesday afternoon from Lane Tech College Prep ahead of a district-wide ban, sparking outcry from teachers, faculty and students, some of whom planned a protest Friday afternoon. Chicago Public Schools CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett then ordered principals to disregard the earlier directive, leaving Persepolis in libraries but asking that the book not be taught in seventh-grade classrooms — it was previously part of the curriculum — "due to the powerful images of torture."
The memoir recounting Satrapi's childhood in Iran during the Islamic revolution is also under review for grades eight through 10. A Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman said the initial directive was sent by district staff following concerns raised by teachers at Austin-North Lawndale, but it didn't reflect the intent of the administration.
In the letter to Byrd-Bennett and the board of education, the National Coalition Against Censorship wrote, "While we are relieved that the book will remain available to older students, the restriction on access for junior high school students is extremely troubling. The title character of Satrapi's book is herself the age of junior high school students, and her description of her real-life experiences might well have special relevance to them. The explanation that the book is 'inappropriate' for this age group is unpersuasive. The vast majority of Chicago middle school students are surely aware of the reality of violence and its devastating effects on people of all ages. Most have witnessed it on the news, if not in their own neighborhoods.To remove this book because of objections to its content is impermissible under the First Amendment."

Hororata farmer Michael John "Joe" McKellow (60) was killed
when his fixed-wing glider crashed on Snowy Top, on
Ribbonwood Station, in January. CAA corporate communications
manager Mike Richards said a full investigation into the
incident was now "essentially complete."
However, Mr Richards said the investigation was still reliant
on further information coming from "other agencies."
He said he was unable to give a firm date on when that
information was expected to be received.
Mr McKellow had taken off in good conditions from Omarama
airfield on January 12, with fellow members of the Canterbury
Gliding Club.
Club president Kevin Bethwaite said he would be interested in
the findings of the final report, but added that club members
had already "all learnt" from the tragedy.
Mr McKellow's death had been a "wake-up call" for many, he
"Certainly, it was a soul-searching time for the club, to say
there was a guy who had plenty of competency.
"In another way, Joe's accident has made us all safer, and
that's a comment I hear from a lot of glider pilots: 'Just be

JOLIET, Ill. -- Ryan Newman's gamble paid off. Kevin Harvick's didn't.
Newman and an empty gas tank spoiled Harvick's bid for three straight Chicagoland Speedway victories, with Newman pulling away at the end to win the Tropicana 400 on Sunday.
Newman and Harvick both pitted to top off their tanks on lap 198 of the 267-lap race, hoping to stretch the fuel to the end. Newman made it, and Harvick didn't.
Newman got out of the pits first and took the lead for good on lap 210 when the drivers ahead of him all pitted under caution. Harvick worked his way to second on lap 225 and was close behind when the green flag waved on lap 240 for a restart following the last of seven caution flags in the race.
Harvick is one of only four drivers who have won the first two races at a new track since NASCAR's modern era began in 1972, but he couldn't catch Newman's Penske Racing South Dodge.
Newman kept edging ahead, moving out to a lead of more than 1 second before Harvick's Richard Childress Racing Chevrolet suddenly slowed three laps from the end.
"He had a fast race car and I was really worried about him until he ran out of gas," Newman said.
It was a little bit of payback for Newman, who led the most laps in the 2002 Chicagoland race but lost to Harvick because of fuel strategy.
"We had a great car until we ran out of gas," Harvick said. "We all thought we had the pit strategy worked to perfection."
Tony Stewart, who started from the pole, inherited second place, but was unable to challenge for the lead and finished 3.177-seconds behind Newman.
Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon finished third and fourth as Harvick made a quick stop for a splash of gas and finished 17th, a lap down at the end.
It was the fourth victory of his career and third of the year for Newman, matching Kurt Busch for the most wins in 2003. Busch finished 39th.
Newman led twice for 67 laps, averaging 134.059 mph. Jeff Gordon led 47 laps, and Harvick 46.
Michael Waltrip finished fifth.
The scariest moment of the race came on lap 214 when Johnny Benson and rookie Casey Mears banged together and ignited a five-car melee that ended with Bobby Labonte's car engulfed in flame.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. ran among the leaders most of the day. But he lost control and backed hard into the wall on lap 208.

Charlize Theron in Bleuab Detour Leggings in French Chalk
Charlize Theron was spotted after having brunch with her family in Malibu, California. The actress pulled out her Bleulab Detour Leggings in French Chalk to pair with a navy coat and some sandals.
I love the pairing of the navy with the grey of the jeans. One thing that I like about Charlize's style is that she is always sleek, even on her days off. She can make a pair of denim shorts feel smart with the way she styles them. What do you think of her style? You can click here to purchase these jeans from Amazon.
Kim Kardashian in Bleulab Detour Leggings in French Chalk
Kim Kardashian was snapped while catching a flight out of LAX over the weekend. Kim and Kanye were spending some time together in Hawaii to celebrate her birthday.
Kim wore her Bleulab Detour leggings in French Chalk with a black shirt and leather blazer. I love how versatile this gray wash is and how it goes with so many different shades. Kim seems to prefer it too, as we really don't see her wearing the reverse wash!

Kim Kardashian in BleuLab Detour Leggings in French Chalk
Kim Kardashian was spotted leaving Nate 'n Al in Beverly Hills, California after having a meeting. The reality star wore her Bleulab Detour Leggings in French Chalk with a grey t shirt and some Louboutins. Since getting these jeans hemmed, we have been seeing Kim in them more frequently. I find the wash to be really great and it goes so well with the vibrant red of the shoes.
One thing that I am missing a little about Kim though is her blonde hair. I found that it added to her looks as she has been sticking with more simple pieces. With her natural brunette locks, I somehow feel the looks are more casual than before. Which do you prefer? A blonde or brunette Kim?
Charlize Theron in Bleulab Skinny Jeans in French Chalk
Charlize Theron was snapped leaving a downtown hotel in New York City. She tried to hide her face a little bit from the paparazzi as she got into a waiting car.
Charlize wore a pair of Bleulab Skinny Jeans in French Chalk with a gorgeous black blazer, white shirt and black flats. I always adore black, grey and white together. It's such a great combination when it comes to outfits! I think Charlize looks really good here! I also like the addition of the beige bag, it really breaks it up. What do you think?

ALLIANCE, Ohio -- Greg Micheli threw three touchdown passes
to Pierre Garcon, and Nate Kmic ran for 199 yards and a pair of
touchdowns Saturday to lead Mount Union over St. John Fisher 52-10
in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III playoffs.
The Purple Raiders (13-0) extended their winning streak to 36
games. Mount Union is seeking its fourth straight national title
and 11th in 16 years, and is 229-10-1 overall since 1990 --
including 55-9 in the playoffs.
Mount Union will play Bethel in the semifinals.
St. John Fisher (11-2) scored its only touchdown on a 34-yard
pass from Rob Kramer to Corey Jackson in the fourth quarter. After
catching the pass, Jackson ran into the area where the Mount Union
band was seated and pounded on a bass drum several times to
celebrate the score.
The Cardinals lost to Mount Union 26-14 in last season's
Bethel 27, Central 14
PELLA, Iowa -- Bethel pounded out 303 yards rushing to beat
Central in frigid weather and advance to the semifinals, where the
Royals will tangle with four-time defending national champion Mount
The game was delayed by 90 minutes because of an ice storm that
was hammering the state and both teams had to compete against
freezing rain, sleet and gusty winds.
Central, which relies heavily on its passing game, found it
difficult to move the ball. Tim Connell three for 136 yards with
three interceptions and one touchdown.
Bethel (12-1) took an early 6-0 lead on a 3-yard run by Dusty
Wahl. The Royals turned the ball over on downs on their next
possession and Dutch running back Vance Shuring tossed a 12-yard
touchdown pass to Josh Smith to give Central (12-1) a 7-6 lead.
Ben Wetzell ran 16 yards for a score after a botched Dutch punt
attempt to make it 13-7. He then hit Kyle Lee on an 11-yard
touchdown toss to make it 20-7 at halftime.
Neither team scored again until late in the fourth-quarter, when
Bethel's Tim Cornish intercepted a Connell pass and returned it
85-yards for a score.
Mary Hardin-Baylor 27, Wesley 10
DOVER, Del. -- Jarvis Thrasher ran for 138 yards and Quincy
Daniels added 79, including a 30-yard touchdown, helping Mary
Hardin-Baylor defeat Wesley.
Thrasher's 83-yard run in the third quarter set up a 4-yard
touchdown pass from Josh Welch to Adam Aquilera. Daniels then
scored from 30 yards out with 3:28 left in the quarter as the
Crusaders increased their 10-3 halftime lead to 24-3.
Welch completed 5-of-10 passes for 74 yards and ran for one
touchdown for Mary Hardin-Baylor (12-1), which now faces
Wisconsin-Whitewater in next Saturday's semifinals.
Jason Schatz completed 17-of-35 passes for 256 yards for Wesley
Wisconsin-Whitewater 47, Wabash 7
WHITEWATER, Wis. -- Brady Pittz and Justin Beaver ran for a
combined 301 yards and two touchdowns to lead Wisconsin-Whitewater
to a victory over Wabash College during an icy Midwestern snow
Wabash's quarterbacks were picked off five times by Whitewater
(12-1), which will host Mary Hardin-Baylor in the semifinals next
Whitewater's Gabe Schultz intercepted a pass by Dustin Huff on
the second play of the game to give the Warhawks a short field.
Three plays later, Beaver scored on a 3-yard run.
Whitewater converted two more first-quarter interceptions for
touchdowns and scored on its first four possessions to take a 28-0
Pittz finished with 156 yards and Beaver had 145 yards. Matt
Blaziewske picked off two passes for Whitewater, giving him six
interceptions in the last six games.
Wabash (11-2) scored on its first possession of the second half
with a 12-play drive capped by Matt Hudson's 6-yard pass to Mike

Death To Spies 2: Moment of Truth Preview: SMERSH is a fun word to say
Death to Spies 2 is a sequel to a 2007 PC stealth action game that was like the Russian version of Hitman.
Death to Spies 2 is a sequel to a 2007 PC stealth action game that was like the Russian version of Hitman.
Velvet Assassin is a stealth action game that's loosely based on the real-life World War II Allied secret agent, Violette Szabo, who was captured and later executed by the Nazis.
Stealthy meets sexy in Velvet Assassin, Replay Studios' World War II stealth action title based on the true story of female Allied secret agent Violette Szabo.
Southpeak Games has announced that Velvet Assassin, as every single game before it, has gone gold. The publisher celebrates this accomplishment with new screens, including one of heroine Summer Violette stabbin' Nazis in the chest.
If you watch the new extended trailer for Velvet Assassin and feel a strange sense of deja-vu, there's a reason for that. Sadly, that reason doesn't make the trailer any better.
What was presumably meant to be a sexy and inspiring trailer for Replay Studio's Velvet Assassin instead manages to bring to mind the disturbing image of Sir Winston Churchill in a bloody nightie.
THQ and SouthPeak convinced Australia that the ubiquitous use of morphine in a World War II game is historically accurate — scoring an MA 15+ rating.
Godfather II, originally set to hit stores around the same time as Killzone 2, Halo Wars and Street Fighter IV, is now headed for stores on April 7 in North America and and April 10 in Europe.
Southpeak had their very own Violette Summer on hand to pose for pictures with fans. But, I was at their booth to check out their game, not the babe.
Peter Chung, creator of the avant garde sci-fi cartoon Aeon Flux, is signed up with SouthPeak Games to pen a 15-page Velvet Assassin digital graphic novel.
The 2009 New York Comic Con is kicking off this weekend, and SouthPeak Games plans on making their presence felt, throwing everything from space bears to live-action velvety assassins at convention goers.
Typically when I think World War II and Nazi Germany I don't think fashion show, but Velvet Assassin reminds us that the epitome of realism is a deep closet... and at least one nightie.
Gamecock's upcoming Velvet Assassin, in development by Replay Studios, has an intriguing premise - the protagonist, Violette Summer, is based on the actual life of British secret agent Violette Szabo during World War II. In the game, Violette is a secret agent on her own behind enemy lines. It's slated for a Fall…

I find these difficult plants to grow and over Winter. There's a lot of leaves on it ,I'd be guided on the size of the root growth.
If the roots has filled it's pot I would be tempted to plant it out given the warm weather so they have time to get down deep in the soil. It's not a popular view but a very thin barrier of slug pellets would give it all the protection that it needs, be it now or next year
Don't know if I'm honest, to me it makes sense to keep the seeds of strong/well performing plants. I was sure I collected cupani last year but the flowers that grew didn't look like them at all.
You can do both.
My plants were sown in the Autumn last year in muddy soil, outside with complete neglect and they have done really well. I will be saving the seed
Hi nut the vinegar is spice flavour, Non Brewed Condiment. 4.5% acidity. I had my doubts about the fridge, I've pickled some beetroot earlier this month and my thinking is that vinegar is the ultimate preservative. So they are just in top shelf in my kitchen cupboard. I suppose I was a bit worried as they are eggs.
From what you're saying it sounds like I'll be alright to just pour the cold vinegar over the eggs and then just chuck a chilli and some peppercorns in with them.
Thanks for your tip about the garlic, I did buy some of that as well
I've got loads of surplus white Honesty seeds, feels such a shame to waste them. If anybody wants them, please pm me and I'll send them 2nd class
Hello everyone, I've got a surplus of eggs,lots of them. I've got some pickling vinegar, peppercorns chilies and bottles. I'm getting conflicting information from the internet.
I was going to hard boil the eggs, let them cool. Put them in the jar, with pickling vinegar, some pepper corns and a chilli and then leave them in the kitchen cupboard.
Some sites say that they need to be kept in the fridge? My fridge isn't big enough for the bottles. Also do I need to warm up the pickling vinegar and ingrediants before adding it to the jar?
Thanks for any advice
Don't know if it's a blessing or curse, but OH has those same genes. We live a messy life
I don't do direct sowing but the ones that have worked for me in pots sown this time of year are Calendula, Corncockles, Sweet Williams and Cornflowers
It's sounds like that's the likely outcome, but a sad one. I've not invested any cash here. The landowner has lived here for 20 + years and loves the nature. Nothing to do with me, but I can't help thinking when he has gone, what will become of it all
I use a laptop/PC Runnybeak and I know nothing about the ipad things. From others on here I think there maybe a problem downloading pics/images from phones
A browser is a piece of software that we all use to access the internet. You could be using Internet Explorer, FireFox, there are others. They are the same whether on the phones or computers.
You're not thick, don't ever think that, you're curious
I'll try Runnybeak. You go into your account settings. On the top right of the page you can see, there's an down ward arrrow. Click on that and you'll see some options. Click on My Settings. This will take you to another page.
On the left hand side, you'll see the faceless T- shirt boy, click on Edit
On this page you will see Change your profile picture. You will have to click Browse. Then you can pick the picture you want. All the avators are small so too big an image wont work.
Do you have a pic in mind and is it on your pc?
