A Three-Step Guide to Strengthening the Darfur Arms Embargo
Targeting the Arms Supply Chain
(This paper was co-authored by Christian Dietrich, formerly a consultant with the United Nations Panel of Experts on Sudan, and the staff of Human Rights First's Crimes Against Humanity Program)
The world has united in condemning the violence in Darfur. Yet, that violence continues to rage more than five years into the conflict, with neither peace nor a viable peace process in sight. Despite numerous missions, reports, and studies, and myriad expressions of concern, the international community labors unsuccessfully to stop the bloodshed and resolve the conflict. However, the United Nations (U.N.) Security Council possesses a device that, if utilized, could help change the status quo. That tool is the existing U.N. arms embargo on Darfur which, if properly enforced, could improve both the situation on the ground and the status of political negotiations.
The U.N. arms embargo on Darfur as it stands right now is more rhetoric than reality. On paper, it prohibits the "sale or supply" of all arms and related materiel to all belligerents in Darfur. But a year ago, U.N. field research showed incontrovertible evidence of multiple embargo violations. Despite the existence of the embargo and the publication of an annual report detailing violations, the progress on restricting arms supplies that fuel the Darfur conflict is negligible, at best.
Last year's report, submitted in October 2007 by a U.N. Security Council Panel of Experts on Sudan, will be updated by a new report expected to be released in early October 2008. The 2007 report provided evidence of major, consistent violations and offered recommendations to pinpoint arms trafficking bottlenecks. Rather than adopt and implement these recommendations, however, the U.N. Sanctions Committee, charged with overseeing the embargo, took little meaningful action.
States that generally favor engagement with Sudan lack resolve to enact basic unilateral and bilateral mechanisms to constrict the arms trafficking pipeline leading to Darfur. Even those States actively seeking solutions in Darfur have failed to make embargo violations a top priority in multilateral discussions about Darfur.
The arms embargo is an underutilized tool for change in Darfur. Restricting arms transfers to Darfur, even incrementally, likely would increase the costs of war-making and enhance the viability of political solutions in Sudan. By pursuing genuine engagement on the arms embargo, the U.N. and its Member States may be able to both gain leverage with parties to the Darfur conflict—thereby supporting the political process—and reduce offensive military over-flights that target and kill civilians as well.
This paper briefly outlines three innovative ideas to enhance the effectiveness of the arms embargo. Until the U.N. can enforce a total ban on arms trafficking to Darfur, targeting parts of the arms supply chain, such as logistics providers, or engaging the original suppliers of specific weapons systems, would have a significant impact in reducing arms transfers. Two sections of the report describe high profile heavy military assets that have been transferred by the Government of Sudan (GoS) to Darfur in violation of the embargo. A third section examines a trafficking bottleneck where concrete action can reduce illegal arms transfers to Darfur's airports.
Step 1: Stop Importation of A-5 "Fantan" Attack Aircraft
Accompanying Spare Parts and Technical Assistance from China Must Also Be Barred
The U.N. Panel of Experts documented the January 2007 arrival in South Darfur of three A-5 "Fantan" ground attack jets, aircraft manufactured by the Nanchang factory in China and reportedly delivered to Khartoum in 2006. Airport logbooks show the aircraft arriving in Darfur from the Wadi Sayyidna airbase north of Khartoum. The initial deployment followed saber-rattling by western Governments calling for the imposition of a no-fly zone in Darfur. The GoS has claimed the aircraft are used to protect the country's borders, although they are primarily designed for an air-to-ground attack role, and are not aircraft designed primarily for an air-to-air combat role such as Sudan's MiG-29s. In any event, the GoS never requested advanced approval for the deployment of A-5s, as required by Resolution 1591, the 2005 U.N. Security Council resolution extending the arms embargo to cover the GoS.
These aircraft have remained operational in Darfur, and subsequent photographs of the A-5s show that they are consistently armed with 90 mm air-to-ground rocket pods. A BBC documentary aired in July 2008 claims that the A-5s were most likely involved in bombing civilians in February 2008. Details of the attack appear consistent with the type of armaments carried by the A-5s in Darfur. Since the initial deployment in 2007, there is evidence that new aircraft continue to be rotated into Darfur. According to a high level source on Darfur, the People's Republic of China either refurbished or sold the aircraft new to Sudan in mid-2006, along with the delivery of K-8 jet trainers.
In addition to prohibiting the "sale or supply" of arms and related materiel to all belligerents in Darfur, the embargo also bans the provision of technical assistance on arms used in Darfur. However, there is evidence not only of the sale of the aircraft, but also that Chinese technicians assist with the maintenance of the A-5 aircraft in Wadi Sayyidna and Darfur. The sale of advanced weapons systems normally also involves the supply of spare parts and technical assistance as part of the contract. Whether technical assistance in Wadi Sayyidna, or the supply of spare parts or pilot training clearly violate the embargo is a complicated question. But whether or not these actions constitute direct violations, they suggest that the Chinese government may be in violation by maintaining the operational capacity of aircraft primarily used in Darfur. These actions have been ignored by the Sanctions Committee and the U.N. Security Council to date. If those bodies are to fulfill their responsibilities, they must acknowledge the role that China's provision of maintenance of and spare parts for offensive aircraft in Darfur plays in enabling the GoS to carry out attacks there.
China's exact role in supplying the aircraft and trainers to Sudan must be the focus of bilateral and multilateral discussions with the Chinese Government. This would necessarily include the disclosure of the terms of the sales contract and End Use Certificate, including any provisions relating to Darfur. China could send a powerful message by agreeing to cease providing A-5s (and associated spare parts, servicing and training) to Khartoum.
Thus far, the U.N. Security Council has been silent on the question of whether the A-5 deployments violate the embargo. The Council should correct this omission and unanimously condemn the deployments as a serious violation of the Darfur embargo. To add teeth to the condemnation, to penalize Khartoum for the Darfur embargo violations, and to deter future similar violations, the Security Council should impose a specific embargo on the entire country of Sudan for A-5 aircraft and associated training and spare parts. At the very least, a debate over this issue in the Security Council could enhance pressure on the GoS and make Khartoum's actions a liability for the Government of China.
Step 2: Bar Imports of Russia's Mi-24 and Mi-717 Helicopters
The importance of Mi-24 gunships in the Darfur conflict cannot be overstated. These helicopters are an integral part of the GoS's offensive military capabilities and are used as the predominant air assault tool in Darfur. Besides their use in offensive military overflights associated with ceasefire violations, Mi-24s have been widely cited in attacks on civilian targets.
The frequent rotation of Mi-24 gunship helicopters to Darfur's three airports is another serious violation of the embargo. The Panel of Experts repeatedly noted this fact in successive reports, and provided indisputable proof in its October 2007 report. Two Mi-24s were photographed at the Khartoum International Airport military apron, and were later identified in Darfur by their Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) tail numbers. The Panel further cited the rotation of on average three Mi-24s every two months to Darfur according to Sudanese Civil Aviation Administration (CAA) logbooks. The harsh desert conditions in Darfur require a high turn-over rate for the helicopters, which can be more thoroughly serviced in Khartoum. The GoS has never requested an arms embargo waiver for deploying the Mi-24s and has repeatedly denied that this occurs.
In 2005, the Russian Federation sold Sudan the Mi-24s used in Darfur. While the sale alone does not violate the embargo (as there is no embargo on sales of weaponry to Khartoum for use outside of Darfur), Russian training and technical assistance as part of the contract raises the same questions discussed above in the case of the A-5s. Several sources note the presence of Russian technicians in Khartoum maintaining the Mi-24s, effectively ensuring the operational capacity of the Sudanese Mi-24 fleet for monthly rotations of helicopters into Darfur. Furthermore, Sudanese Mi-24 pilots, including those deployed to Darfur, are trained at Russia's 344th Combat and Conversion Training Center in Torzhok as part of the Mi-24 sales contract. A Sudanese pilot in El Fasher was scheduled for night-flight training at Torzhok in mid-2007. Ironically, the Torzhok airbase is also used to train Russian helicopter crews headed for peacekeeping missions.
The U.N. Security Council must unanimously condemn the deployment of Mi-24s to Darfur as a violation of the embargo. This would enhance pressure on the GoS, much like a similar finding for the A-5 deployments mentioned above. It would also increase pressure on the Russian Federation to suspend its contract with Sudan on the basis that Khartoum violated its assurances not to use the helicopters in Darfur, and as such Russian assistance is facilitating embargo violations. Without Russian technical assistance, spare parts and training, Khartoum's Mi-24 fleet would succumb to attrition, and its combat effectiveness would greatly diminish; other potential suppliers of Mi-24s could be dissuaded from negotiating a new contract with Khartoum. This might enhance Khartoum's acceptance of a political solution to the conflict rather than the use of military force.
The Russian Federation also supplied Khartoum with Mi-171 air assault helicopters in 2006, which were then painted white and deployed to Darfur in 2007. The U.N. Panel of Experts noted that the helicopters posed a risk for white U.N. aircraft, and also represented a violation of the Darfur Peace Agreement, Article 24, sub-paragraph (i) that prohibits "Any attempt by a Party to disguise its equipment, personnel or activities as those of AMIS, United Nations Agencies, the International Committee of the Red Cross/Crescent or any other similar organization." Given the recent attacks on UNAMID helicopters in Darfur, the use of white helicopters by the GoS must be universally condemned, and the Russian Federation should prohibit the sale of any future Mi-171 helicopters and associated spare parts to Sudan.
Step 3: Cease Military Cargo Flights to Darfur
The U.N. Security Council could make the Darfur arms embargo more effective by borrowing techniques successfully used to enforce other embargos. For example, because Darfur's physical isolation requires the use of aircraft for transportation as well as fighting, the tool of blacklisting aircraft used illegally is particularly relevant.
The GoS views air transport as an effective method to deploy military hardware to Darfur, especially compared to the more time consuming overland convoys that could be attacked by rebel groups. But it is hindered in its war efforts by its lack of an effective heavy-lift air capacity. The GoS therefore relies on private companies to fly cargo for its armed forces stationed in Darfur. The U.N. Panel interviewed several of these companies and was able to identify numerous flights that contained embargoed material.
The U.N. Panel of Experts cited 409 military and police flights to Darfur by civilian aircraft between September 2006 and July 2007, with a combined maximum cargo load of over 13,000 tons. After documenting these embargo violations by private entities, the U.N. Panel called for an aviation ban on several Sudanese air cargo companies. Similar aviation bans have been effectively used to enforce an arms embargo in the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as to disrupt operations of the Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout.
Targeting parts of the arms supply and logistics chain at bottlenecks, such as airlift operations between Khartoum and Darfur, is a viable method of enforcing the embargo. It may not be feasible to impound arms trafficking flights arriving in Darfur, but it is possible to deter private companies from conducting the arms flights. This can be done by changing the companies' cost-benefit analysis of transporting arms for the Sudan Armed Forces (SAF). Several of the air cargo companies conducting SAF flights to Darfur also fly commercial cargo from the Middle East to Khartoum—operations that are far more lucrative than the SAF flights. Therefore, blacklisting these private aircraft due to their SAF flights into Darfur would jeopardize their high profit stream from operations outside of Sudan, making the less financially rewarding flights provided to the GoS even less attractive.
These air cargo companies not only have representative offices in countries such as the United Arab Emirates, but also conduct maintenance operations for aircraft used in Sudan. Shutting down these commercial gateways and limiting business opportunities will prevent companies from subsidizing GoS arms embargo flights. If the cargo carriers' bottom lines are squeezed, they will be forced to pass along the costs to the GoS or go out of business. This in turn raises the cost of sending arms to Darfur and potentially closes a bottleneck in the arms trafficking pipeline.
In other cases, Sudanese companies lease aircraft and aircrew from foreign owners. For example, an Ilyushin 76 aircraft flying regularly to Darfur with a military call sign is leased by a Sudanese company from another company based in the Sharjah Airport International Free Zone in the UAE. These and other foreign owners would likely cancel their leasing agreements should they fear the aircraft will be impounded. Their crew members could potentially be indicted for arms embargo violations as well, adding to the risk.
The effective targeting of specific Sudanese civil aviation organizations as recommended by the U.N. Panel of Experts could also reduce bombing campaigns by SAF Antonov (AN) 26 aircraft. These twin-propeller aircraft are sold on the commercial market and mainly are used as cargo freighters. They can also be easily converted into rudimentary bombers by loading the cargo bay with 500 kilogram unguided bombs, which are then rolled out of the aircraft from the rear cargo ramp over ground targets. Such operations have been widely cited in air attacks on civilians in Darfur. The most notorious AN-26 bomber in the SAF arsenal was painted white with fraudulent "U.N." markings on its wing while deployed in El Fasher, North Darfur. The aircraft was originally purchased from abroad by a Sudanese civilian air cargo company and later provided to SAF. This company is also actively involved in transporting arms to Darfur using its other cargo aircraft.
Individual States and regional bodies must enact a ban on Sudanese aircraft and companies that have violated the embargo. For example, a European Union blacklist of these companies and aircraft would not only prevent the overflight of E.U. airspace – which can be important in arms flights to Africa – but also send a critical political signal. Others States, including those in the Middle East, might more readily comply with standards once they are widely put into practice.
In addition, entities such as the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) should be tasked with investigating the role of air cargo companies in violating the Darfur arms embargo, and search for financial methods to limit these companies' business opportunities. Thus far, only AZZA Transport has been named by OFAC, and apparently there has been no follow-up on the company's operations in the Middle East.
Finally, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) should conduct another audit of civil aviation operations in Sudan, especially following the Panel's report. Areas of particular interest are the use of civil aviation cargo aircraft to illegally transport arms to Darfur and the intentional falsification of cargo manifests to disguise the transportation of dangerous goods. An ICAO safety oversight audit of Sudan's civil aviation system conducted in November 2006 noted in particular that there was insufficient oversight in the transport of dangerous goods by civilian aircraft within Sudan. Some of the companies transporting arms to Darfur have also been involved in high profile aircraft crashes in Sudan in recent years. Civil aviation restrictions against Sudan therefore must be considered should the country's CAA fail to enforce international civil aviation regulations.
The U.N. arms embargo on Darfur has been underutilized as a tool to address the conflict. The multiple violations, most recently enumerated in the Panel of Experts' annual report of October 2007 and anticipated to be catalogued again in the October 2008 report, have provoked an insufficient response from the international community. This is a missed opportunity to decrease the belligerents' access to weaponry and to change the political dynamic in this seemingly intractable conflict.
While a total ban on arms trafficking to Darfur faces many obstacles to enforcement, the arms embargo, if divided into its component parts, enables Member States to target discreet links in the arms supply chain. A-5 "Fantan" attack aircraft are reported to have been used in civilian air–to-ground attacks. Given that their use in Darfur is illegal, Member States should ensure that the Government of Sudan no longer imports them, and should sanction countries that continue to provide technical assistance and maintenance for their use.
Similarly, Russian-made Mi-24 helicopter gunships have been involved in attacks on civilian targets in Darfur. U.N. Member States should insist that Mi-24's no longer be deployed in Darfur and should sanction countries that continue to provide assistance necessary to maintain the gunships in working order.
Finally, Member States should implement aviation bans on air cargo companies that fly civilian aircraft into Darfur, as these flights have been documented to provide illegal materials to government forces in violation of the embargo. If States and regional bodies blacklisted these aircraft and companies, they would raise the costs of Khartoum's arms flights to Darfur, which are subsidized by lucrative international cargo operations. Such aviation bans would also send a powerful signal of zero tolerance for violations of the arms embargo.
Addressing the arms supply chain issues described above is insufficient to fully enforce the arms embargo. Disrupting the supply of Fantans, Mi-24s, and civilian cargo flights diminishes the Government of Sudan's access to weapons and materiel, but does not affect the rebel movements. Other measures, including a possible expansion of the arms embargo to eastern Chad, will be required for that purpose. Nonetheless, if Member States start with arms supply chain issues, they likely will see concrete results that will both reduce the violence and improve the political dynamic.
2 The arms embargo was initially imposed in 2004 by U.N. Security Council Resolution 1556.
3 United Nations Security Council, Resolution 1556 (2004), S/RES/1556, para.8; see also United Nations Security Council, Resolution 1591 (2005), S/RES/1591, para. 7; both available at http://www.un.org/sc/committees/1591/resolutions.shtml.
4 This should not affect U.N. aid operations since the World Food Program and UNAMID primarily operate aircraft they have leased from outside Sudan.

Ed Miliband is due to warn that the next Labour government will not be able to simply increase tax credits for the less well-off.
The public finances his party will inherit if it wins the next general election will prevent a return to the kind of wealth redistribution of the Gordon Brown years, the Labour leader will say.
In a speech to a major conference on growth at the London Stock Exchange, Mr Miliband will say he expects to have to continue cutting the deficit after 2015.
"The Government's economic failure means that whoever wins the next election will still face a deficit that needs to be reduced," he will tell the assembled economists, chief executives and academics.
"The redistribution of the last Labour government relied on revenue which the next Labour government will not enjoy. The option of simply increasing tax credits in the way we did before will not be open to us."
He will call for a move to greater "predistribution" - or doing more to ensure that work pays for the disadvantaged in society - in a bid to increase spending power and drive growth.
"Centre-left governments of the past tried to make work pay better by spending more on transfer payments. Centre-left governments of the future will have to make work pay better by doing more to make work itself pay," he will say. "That is how we are going to build growth based not just on credit, but on real demand."
Mr Miliband will warn that "failure" of the coalition did not mean that the Labour Party could just "attack the Government, sit back, wait for it to fail, wait for it to fall, so that we go back to governing as we did before.
"The lesson that (shadow chancellor) Ed Balls and I take from this summer of economic and political failure is the opposite - we need more change, not less."
Mr Balls will tell the conference, hosted by Policy Network, that new ideas are needed in response to the recession in the UK and around the world.

The reason was the country's lack of respect for the rule of law and political instability. The US had refused [Reuters report] to participate in such efforts without removal of corrupt officials.

Born: November 13, 1928 | Died: May 27, 1977 Primary Instrument: Piano
Who Was Hampton Hawes?
Although one rarely hears of Hampton Hawes today he was a significant presence on the jazz scene in the mid- 50s then again from the mid-60s on until his death in 1977. A direct descendant of bebop who had been variously classified as West Coast and funk-jazz or rhythm school, Hawes transcended all these categories. He was famous for his prodigious right hand, his deep groove, his very personal playing, his profound blues conceptions, and his versatility within a mainstream context. He remained anchored in chord-change based jazz with chord changes his whole career.
A mostly self-taught musician, he matured early musically and late personally-by his own admission. His life unfolded as an impassioned story of a rise from poverty into prominence, then a fall due to a heroin addiction, which had come right out of his native culture, five years in prison and a miraculous Presidential pardon, then personal transformation and return to world-wide artistic prominence for a decade before his early death.
Hampton Hawes was born in Los Angeles, November 13, 1928. His father was a very successful pastor and his mother played piano in the church. Hampton was raised in a strict religious environment. As a child he would sit on the piano bench next to his mother and watch her play. His earliest musical influence, therefore, was gospel piano music. The street environment was not a particularly wholesome. He later reflected that most of the people he knew in his neighborhood growing up were heroin addicts.
Hawes taught himself piano as a child. His earliest musical influences were boogie-woogie, which was intensely popular in the U. S. between 1938 and 1946, Nat Cole, Fats Waller and Art Tatum. Later he came under the spell of Bud Powell, and came to play more in his style. Throughout his life he regretted that he never acquired a classical background and never became a fast music reader. Perhaps as a result his music remained intensely personal.
Growing up with music he learned by jamming with his friends. They would hang out at each other's houses and play. Fascinated with bebop, they fervently pursued it as their form of teenage rebellion against the music of their parents. Hawes regretted that his family never understood his music, never attended his performances. When he sent them his albums later on, if they liked the cover art they'd frame it and put it on the wall.
Turning Pro
By the time he was in high school he was accepting professional gigs, working with Big Jay McNeely in 1944. He even had to leave his high school graduation early to get to a job. At that time in his life he played with Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday, Wardell Gray, Dexter Gordon, Art Pepper and Short Rogers. Pepper hired him for an extended engagement at the Surf Club in Hollywood in 1952. By that time he had become a heroin addict. As he put it:
You see everybody going down the street in a green Buick, and you start thinking, What is it with these green Buicks? You know, you just got to find out for yourself. Well, I found out all right, I sure did. (Official biography, 1974).
Hawes was sent to the Far East during his stint in the army, 1952 to 1954, which only furthered his addiction. Once back in civilian life he formed a trio with bassist Red Mitchell. They developed a rare musical affinity. He performed with Mitchell in gigs throughout the U. S., from 1955-58, including runs at the Embers in New York (where he drew $1500 per week), Storyville in Boston and the Blue Note clubs in Chicago and Philadelphia. Remaining within the bebop style, they used a variety of drummers, and during one six-month period, Kenny Burrell on guitar.
Successful Recordings
During that period Hawes got to know Lester Koenig, owner of the Los Angeles-based Contemporary label. Koenig recorded Hawes on a series of brilliant albums, including Hampton Hawes, Vol. 1: The Trio in 1955 and All Night Session (3 LPs) on Hawes' birthday in 1956, both of which garnered five stars from Down Beat. In 1957 jazz critic and teacher John Mehegan classed Hawes as part of the rhythmic (funky) school of jazz piano, of which Horace Silver was the acknowledged innovator, and attributed to him the best blues in jazz piano today (Mehegan, 17). He even composed a blues, Hampton's Pulpit, very similar to Silver's famous Opus de Funk, and plays it on Vol. 1 of the All Night Session. The title makes the connection clear between funk in jazz and Hawes' gospel roots. But Hawes's fluidity of melodic invention strained the rhythmic/funky categorization, despite his clear talent for this approach. Hawes was a master at constructing solos beginning with a phrase and gradually building, drawing the listener in. When he reached the peak of his energy he was at a level few outside of Bud Powell could approach.
Hawes' heroin addiction was pulling him down at the time, and in 1958 he was arrested for possession and sentenced to 10 years in a prison hospital in Fort Worth, Texas. He had pled guilty, noticing that friends who were caught and pled not guilty were usually sentenced to twice that. In a 1972 article in Harper's which gives a foretaste of Hawes' hard-hitting and award-winning autobiography, Raise Up Off Me, he describes the distance he felt from the psychiatrists who interviewed him during his incarceration:
In an innocent, ungreedy kind of way those doctors were like the jackleg preachers, all robes and ceremony. It wasn't that any of them was dumb or incompetent, but if you start with someone like me who has come out of the haven of the church into the streets, playing jazz and messing with dope, why there's no white psychiatrist in the wide world qualified to analyze me because, wherever he would start from his thinking is going to be alien and wrong. There is no way he can possibly conceive where I'm coming from. So it isn't his fault that he doesn't know what he's doing (3).
In January, 1961, two years into his time, he was watching President Kennedy's inauguration on TV. Something about the look of him the voice and the eyes, way he stood bring and coatless and proud in that cold air...I thought, That's the right cat, my troubles are nearing an end (Hawes, 3). Hawes decided to apply for a Presidential Pardon, against all advice of the prison staff. One of them even told him his intention to apply indicated that he had problems accepting reality, which would probably end him up back on dope once he got out.
He finally received the application towards the end of 1962, sending it in with many letters of recommendation in April of the following year. That August the pardon came through, and it seemed like a miracle to everyone there but Hawes. He considered it simply the proper righting of a wrong. It was only the third such Presidential pardon in 40 years.
Back in circulation, Hawes had to fight an uphill battle, both against his own depression and against the music scene which had drastically changed. He started by working locally around Los Angeles. Of an early post- release performance Down Beat's John Tynan wrote:
When Hawes tore into his solos, it was as if the piano had a life of its own; it was a performance that scorched. These were moments to be long remembered by those attending. One listener, a well-known drummer, commented: It's about time we had a real piano player back (Feather, 16).
Jazz was struggling against the growing rock market, which by the end of the decade had lured many prominent jazz artists into modifying their approach in its direction. The commercial pressures were heavy, but Hawes resisted, sticking with his high-energy bebop- based style. He just couldn't get into the more rock- based music of Ramsey Lewis or Les McCann.
Hawes stuck to the music he loved, knowing that record company executives had been wrong many time in the past. He began working again with Red Mitchell, but replaced him in 1966 with Jimmy Garrison. In 1967 he began getting gigs outside southern California. In 1968 he made a duo piano recording with Algerian pianist Martial Solal, another brilliant trend resister. In 1971 he toured Europe, with stops in London, Paris and Copenhagen. From then on he divided his time mainly between Los Angeles area gigs and foreign tours. He recorded a duo album with Charlie Haden, Turnaround, released in 1977, and began experimenting with electronic music around that time. He died in Los Angeles on May 22, 1977.

Comics, comix & graphic novels: a history of comic artComics, Comix & Graphic Novels is the first fully documented study to explore the graphic qualities of the comic book, and the development of the genre into a sophisticated and culturally revealing popular art form. The book traces the history of the comic from early cartoon-like woodcuts through to the graphic strips of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Organized thematically it explores the various genres of the comic book, including humour, adventure, girls' comics, underground and alternative. The careers of the creators of the best-known characters -- from Superman and Tintin to Tank Girl -- are revealed, as are the stories behind the much-loved comics such as The Beano and The Incredible Hulk. |

Comics, comix & graphic novels
User Review - Book VerdictComics, comix (adult-oriented comics focused on psychosocial or political issues), and graphic novels, hitherto discarded into the subcanonical gutter of "mere entertainment," have recently begun to acquire grudging respectability as "real" art and literature. Thus, any serious and thorough considerations of the subject are both recent and rare phenomena, and this work could therefore claim a place in most collections simply by virtue of its uniqueness. However, the astounding historical and tranglobal scope of this undertaking--from 12th-century Bayeux tapestry to current Japanese works--its generosity of visual example, and its consistently perceptive placement within both social and artistic contexts will make this the Jensen of its genre for years to come. Sabin (lecturer, Central St. Martin's College of Art) has created a work that will offer both giddy amusement to lay readers and serious value as textbook and reference source to scholars and librarians. For all collections.--Bill Piekarski, Southwestern Coll. Lib., Chula Vista, Cal.

Black Stars midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah has been named among the 100 best footballers in the world by the Guardian newspaper.
The 24-year-old was among the 36 midfielders who made the cut and also one of the 13 Italian Serie A players.
Asamoah has been described as a perfect modern footballer who is fit, strong, quick, versatile, modest, and hard-working.
Juventus regard him as one of the best signings they have made in the post-Calciopoli era.
Antonio Conte reinvented him as a marauding wide man, where his energy and agility enabled him to be effective in defensive and offensive duties – and he provides a string of assists and the odd goal too.
As Claudio Marchisio says: "He's got great physical and technical qualities – everything needed to be a success at Juventus."
Asamoah is ranked 87th with Lionel Messi topping the list at No1.

He has the potential for greatness he should focus and use his chances at ANC.
The list is a joke.
It's not just a joke but a useless one. Correct me if I am mistaken. How come noEssien,GerrardLampard n a host of others?
It is a figment of some novice's imagination.It cannot be the true reflection of the status on position of players in order of brilliance n skills.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of Lavezzi, Robert Lewandowski , Hulk, Leonardo Bonucci & Javi Martinez? What a joke of a list!!! If SHIT players like Victor Wanyama, Mayuka & Eriskseen made the list then Dede, KPB & Atsu should have also made the list.
Also KASA should have been among the top 50 cuz for my money he is one of the best midfielders in the world currently, I doubt the credibility of The Guardian newspaper.
EMMANUEL MAYUKA is a LIVEWIRE yet to be unleashed in the EPL…you'll see what will happen in South Africa!
True talk, how can a player from the saints a bottom 3 team in the EPL make this list. And possibly the best or second best player in the best league in the world rank 40, thats a bs. Bale is a top 5 player.
pierre-emerik aubemeyang..a star in the making
Southampton is likely to relegated back to the Npower Championship @ the end of the season, your Mayuka has only managed to make just 7 appearance so far this season and yet to score a goal.
He's been warming the bench for most part of the season, if he cant survive @ a mediocre team like Southampton then how the hell can he make it BIG elsewhere?? I think these Zambians are really flattered cuz this is the first time a player from their country is plying his trade in the EPL.
whether Southampton gets relegated or not,the fact is some people have seen some portential in him.Its not the Zambians who chose him so please dont insult us.He is not the first Zambian to play in the EPL either and please keep your bitterness to yourself.
Check number 69, and I couldn't find a certain Andre Dere Ayew. This is truly bogus!!

**Baltimores Mayor to Attend Clean-up**
* Home Depot To Award $3,000 Grant to Garden Project*
Elissa Ruffino (NIAF) 202/939-3106 or
(WASHINGTON, D.C. April 11, 2007)
Gardens of Hope, an urban gardening program in Baltimore, Md., will hold its annual spring clean-up for this years gardening season on Saturday, April 14 at 9 a.m. with the help of a $3,000 grant from Home Depot. The gardens are located at the 1200 block of Shields Place in Baltimores Upton neighborhood. The annual event and gardening project is sponsored by the National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) and Upton Planning Committee (UPC).
Baltimore Mayor
Sheila Dixon
will kick off the clean-up by planting the days first vegetable plant. Home Depots District Manager
Sean Sites
will be on hand to present the $3,000 grant to the Gardens of Hope project for purchasing materials and gardening supplies. Home Depot will also send volunteers to work in the gardens during this years growing season.
At the event, they will be joined by
Nancy Chistolini
of the NIAF Board of Directors,
Gloria Luster
, master gardener who worked with NIAF to create the gardens,
John Rosa
, NIAF Maryland state coordinator, and
Teresa Stephens
, garden manager and president of UPC, in addition to area residents, local volunteers, Upton faith organizations and community youth. The goal of NIAF is to bring the benefit of urban gardening to those in need, Chistolini said. The art of gardening, which was a traditional Italian-American immigrant experience, has brought a sense of community to those that have participated and needs to continue in Baltimore and other cities.
Recently the Gardens of Hope were partially destroyed when the area was used as an unauthorized parking lot for a contractors truck. The fencing surrounding the gardens was also ruined and debris was dumped by contractors refurbishing neighborhood homes. By order of Mayor Dixon, the illegal debris was immediately cleared from the site after the incident was reported in a front-page article in The Baltimore Sun (Searching for hope in face of adversity, by Nicole Fuller, 3/31/07).
The Gardens of Hope project was established by NIAF in cooperation with UPC in 1997 to benefit the underprivileged, homeless, and those in inner-city shelters. At the time, NIAF officials said, Italian Americans have grown and benefited since immigrating to America. Its time for us to give back to those in greatest need. One of the gardens partners for the past two years, Plant a Row for the Hungry, has received more than 5,000 pounds of produce from Gardens of Hope. The garden consists of many plots, each assigned to a single person or group with the understanding that they will maintain the plot and donate a portion of their harvests to a local soup kitchen, food bank, or shelter.
We are investing in our community by supporting Gardens of Hope and its mission. We believe that every individual has the right to a beautiful neighborhood and has the responsibility for its care, Stephens said.
To participate during the clean-up day or donate to the Gardens of Hope, please visit www.niaf.org/gardens .
The National Italian American Foundation (NIAF) is a non-profit, non-partisan foundation dedicated to promoting the contributions of Italian Americans. Visit our website at www.niaf.org.

Recent gene array studies have yielded contradictory results. Also, very little is known about the metabolic properties of these exciting cells. In this study, proton (1H) NMR spectroscopy was used to identify the major low-molecular-weight metabolites in murine embryonic stem cells (ESC) and their neural stem cell (NSC) derivatives. ESC are characterized by an unusually low number of NMR-detectable metabolites, high phosphocholine (PC) content, and nondetectable glycerophosphocholine (GPC). The metabolic profiles of NSC resemble glial cells and oligodendrocyte progenitors, but with considerably higher PC, GPC, and myo-inositol content. The results suggest that NMR spectroscopy in vitro can provide markers to study the effects of differentiation on cell metabolism, and potentially to assess stem cell preparations for differentiation status. |

August 19, 2011
Welcome to the beginning of the Fall 2011 semester!
In the division of Academic and Student Affairs, we seek to "promote an educational experience that fully prepares UNK students for careers and citizenship, and we strongly support the faculty and staff who provide it." We eagerly enter another academic year as we endeavor to fulfill this mission.
One of the strengths of UNK is the teamwork between faculty and staff work in making UNK an exceptional institution for our students. A recent opportunity has been the renewal of the General Studies program. The new program was implemented in 2010-2011, culminating in the submission of a progress report to the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association (NCA) in April of 2011. We are pleased to announce that the report was accepted by NCA, and no further reports are required.
UNK's next comprehensive evaluation is scheduled for 2013-2014, and planning for this evaluation has already begun. In her new role as Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs, Dr. Kenya Taylor will lead the preparation process. Faculty/staff committees will be organized soon in anticipation of the report submission and site visit during the 2013-2014 academic year.
This is one of many occasions for faculty and staff to work together to satisfy external requirements while maintaining our commitments to meet the needs of students and strengthen the integrity of our academic programs.
We share in the excitement of students returning to campus this weekend and classes beginning on Monday. We wish you all the best for the 2011-2012 academic year as we all prepare students for careers and citizenship!
- Charlie Bicak, Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs

"Wild About UNK" is the theme of Blue & Gold Welcome Week, beginning Friday, August 19 with student move in and the traditional Blue & Gold Community Showcase from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and annual Chancellor's picnic from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The UNK Pride of the Plains marching band will march through the showcase and picnic and then assemble on Foster Field to perform their 2011 pre-game show and season-opening half-time show.
A variety of activities have been planned throughout the weekend for students to begin to adjust to life on a college campus. These activities will emphasize three things: Belonging - A student belongs to the UNK Community and will be able to be involved with organizations and develop valuable relationships. Responsibility - A student recognizes they are the one most responsible for their education. Identity - Students will identity themselves as a Loper and in their involvement show they are the best of what UNK has to offer.
This year's schedule of events is available online at http://www.unk.edu/Student_Affairs/events/blue_gold/Blue_and_Gold_Welcome_Week_Schedule/.
We encourage Faculty and Staff to attend events and welcome new students!

- written in collaboration with Ann Marie Park, Study Abroad Office
UNK students and faculty continue to seek out study abroad experiences. UNK faculty from several different departments led study trips – one over spring break and the rest through the summer term - designed to expose students to another culture and to stretch them to consider issues connected with their disciplines in an international context.
International Studies led by Carol Lilly - March 19 through March 27 to Bosnia
Study abroad opportunities exist throughout the academic year, as well. Carol Lilly led a study group in Bosnia over spring break in 2011. She traveled with six students to Sarajevo, Bosnia-Hercegovina, in connection to the course she taught in the spring on Gender and War in Modern Europe. The group had the opportunity to attend the Bosnian Parliament where they met several members of Parliament. During their time in the country, the group met and talked with representatives of governmental and non-governmental organizations who provided information about different aspects of the war and its impact on women, children, and the citizens of Bosnia-Hercegovina. By far the most emotionally wrenching day was spent in Srebrenica, the site of the massacre of over 8,000 Muslim men and boys by the Bosnian Serb army on July 11, 1995. The students were able to hear stories of people's experiences and were then challenged to consider how they to think about and respond to the information presented. For more information, see the April 2011 issue of the International Education News.
- Carol Lilly, Director of International Studies and Professor of History
Modern Languages led by Daren Snider - May 13 through May 22 to England, France, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland
Thirteen students traveled to Europe with Dr. Snider. The objective of the trip was to study comparative cultures: English-speaking, French-speaking, and German-speaking. The group traveled primarily within London, Paris, Lucerne, and Munich. There were daily lectures on the respective national histories, cultures, and languages. Learning experiences included visits to the Louvre in Paris, the British Museum, and Dachau Concentration Camp in Germany. In addition to travel in the cities, students also visited rural areas (such as the Bordeau region of France and German-speaking Liechtenstein) to experience non-urban culture.
- Daren Snider, Associate Professor of Modern Languages
Modern Languages led by Rosalie Goldberg - May 26 through June 16 to Tours and Paris, France
Rosalie Goldberg led a group of four students on the French Study Abroad Program. The objective was to study the French language and experience the French culture. Students studied at l'Institut des Etudes Françaises at Tours, France for two weeks, taking 20 hours of French a week and staying with families. Following the week in Tours, the group spent one week in Paris.
On weekends the group was able to visit castles in the area near Tours: Chenonceau, Amboise, Azay-le-Rideau. In Paris they went to the museums of Le Louvre, d'Orsay, Rodin. They saw the monuments of Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, Tombeau de Napoléon, and traveled to Giverny and Versailles. Each individual was also able to pursue a special experience – from visiting the museum on cinema, attending a service in the Cathedral of St Gatien, seeing the artistic advertising used on the Champs-Elysées, viewing a French cemetery, or sitting at the café beside the Loire River to listen to some music.
- Rosalie Goldberg, Lecturer in Modern Languages
Family Studies and Interior Design led by Tami Moore – May 30 through June 9, to France
Three UNK students traveled to France in June. The trip included a few days in Paris, a trip to the Normandy Beaches (the weekend before D-Day celebrations), and the French Riviera. Special interest included architecture and design of historical landmarks and buildings.
The trip was organized and created by Jan Kimmons and facilitated by Tami Moore.
- Tami Moore, Chair and Professor of Family Studies and Interior Design
Theatre led by Mark Wethington - June 13 through June 20 to Prague, Czech Republic
Mark Wethington led a small group to Prague, Czech Republic, to attend the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space (http://www.pq.cz/en/). The PQ is a once-every-four-year International Theatre Design Conference (covering a wide range of matters related to theatre design, including scenery, costumes, lighting, sound etc.). The objective of the trip and reason for attending the PQ was to expose the students to World Theatre, make international networking corrections, and explore the Art, Theatre and culture of Prague. The group saw the major sights in Prague: Prague Castle, Strohov Monetary, National Theatre, The Loretta, Veletržní palác, as well as attended workshops, performances and exhibits sponsored by the PQ. Also attending was Mark's wife, Elizabeth, who has a Master's Degree in Theatre and currently works in the Biology Department at UNK.
Students who participated include:
- Mark Wethington, Assistant Professor of Theatre
June 27 through July 22, South Korea
In addition, 13 UNK students are studying at Hanyang University in South Korea from June 27 through July 22:

Find the Right Art Supplies
Crayons are the ideal form of art supply for young children, while older children can use watercolors and other types of paints, like poster colors. Whether you are stocking a classroom, or refreshing your child's art supplies check out some of the basics you should keep in mind when buying art supplies like crayons, paints, and paint brushes:
- Quality crayons, paints, and paint brushes are easier to use and last longer.
- If you're looking for bright colors in crayons and paints, then choose branded ones as they offer richer colors.
- Look for washable crayons so that you can easily clean the crayon marks from the surface.
- Look for crayons that can easily be held by little hands. These include big crayons and/or triangular shaped crayons.
- Look for crayons that can be stored easily. A twist up feature in a crayon is also helpful to help your child organize his stuff neatly.
- When choosing paint brushes, check which materials have been used in the paint brush. Synthetic paint brushes can be used with acrylic paints and watercolors while natural brushes are typically used with oil paints as well as watercolors.
- Paint brushes are available in different shapes and sizes. Some types of paint brushes include round paint brushes, flat brushes, rigger, fan brushes, and more. Sizes can range from the smallest size of 4/0 to the largest paint brushes of size 30.
At Sam's Club you will find different sets of color pencils, crayons, markers and paints. These sets vary in terms of the shades and hues they offer, as well as the size of the entire set. To help preserve your crayons, paints, and paint brushes, you will find that we also feature items that have separate storage space. When it comes to crayons, paints, paint brushes and any sort of art supplies, we have everything you need.
