Oh. Em. Gee. New York Fashion Week has finally arrived ladies, and as we type, team Grazia beauty are actually in the Big Apple! Honestly, we're so excited we can hardly speak. With the Spring 2014 collections set to hit the catwalks within a matter of minutes (eek!), we feel like we've spent the past few days in a manic state desperately trying to downsize our make-up bags. It might have taken us 3 days (no jokes) but at long last, here is our edit of the beauty items that are going to keep us calm, cool, collected and hopefully beautiful, for the whole duration of NYFW. Read on and learn, ladies!
Team Grazia Beauty's NYFW Essentials
DHC Revitalizing Moisture Strips For Eyes, £6.95: A long plane journey does nobody's skin any favours, so we'll be popping these bad boys under our eyes just we nod off on board. While you sleep, these nifty little strips work hard to tackle puffiness, dark circles and dehydration, so come touchdown tomorrow morning, we'll be all starry-eyed and ready for a big first day.
Bobbi Brown No Smudge Mascara, £19: A no smudge mascara is an absolute essential over any fashion week, and this one really does what it says. What's more, the gorgeous silver tube will look pretty awesome in our handbag to boot.
Acqua Di Parma Iris Nobile Travel Spray, £79: What could be more fashion friendly than this stunning purse spray? We cannot wait to spritz away…
Chantecaille Poudre De Perle in Akoya Pearl, £48: For when our complexion is looking a little lacklustre, a slick of this across our cheeks will guarantee an instant radiant glow. What's more, the clever built in brush means you don't have to carry round two things- we're a sucker for beauty multi-tasking.
Paul & Joe Hair and Body Mist, £11.50: We are truly obsessed with this sweet sea and citrus-scented mist, which never fails to perk up day-old hair or a sweaty body post running around between shows (trust us, it's not all as glamorous as it sounds). We like to think of this as a rather posh deodorant- a true fashion week make-up bag essential!
NARS The Happening Eye And Cheek Palette: Every beauty buff needs an amazing palette in her stash, and this one from NARS is one of our absolute favourites. Why? Well, it has everything you need to look groomed round the clock, so even if we head out of our hotel at 7am and come back at 11pm, we know we'll still be looking hot to trot. Complete with cult blusher in Orgasm and bronzer in Laguna, this is a true hero and gets our full, full marks.
Bourjois Poudre de Riz De Java, £9.99: This gorgeous little pot was Bourjois' first ever international bestselling product, and is now back on the market to celebrate the brand's 150th anniversary. We're not sure what we love more- the beautiful vintage-inspired packaging or the radiance-enhancing powder. Either way, a slick of this across the T-Zone is a sure-fire way to a fresh complexion, whatever the day throws at us!
Lancome Rouge in Love in Crazy Tangerine, £21: There's nothing like a bright pout to perk up a tired face, and this one from Lancome is one of our absolute favourites. We like to blot our lips with this for a gorgeous, matte stain. Come cocktail hour, the colour can be built up for a serious injection of glamour.
Neal's Yard Remedies To Roll in Relaxation, £6.25: For when it all gets too much, we swear by this heavenly, lavender-scented roll-on. We like to apply this to our temples and the insides of our wrists- zzzzz…….

Apple returns to Epeat after pulling out products

- Category: Energy Efficiency
- 16 Jul 2012

- Hits (1644)
Apple improved in infrastructure siting and renewables and advocacy.
During the pull-out, Apple reportedly said the company's design direction was no longer consistent with Epeat requirements. Greenpeace rates Apple Meanwhile environmental campaigning organization Greenpeace released a "well-timed" rating of its own for the electronics company in between their latest Epeat-related decisions, according to consumer electronics blog Engadget. While not directly related to those decisions, Apple was given "C's and D's" from "F's" for their data centers due to their improved clean energy policies, though the scores are still low compared with sector leaders, the report said. Apple improved in infrastructure siting (from F to D); energy efficiency and greenhouse gas mitigation; renewables and advocacy (both from D to C); as well as in its clean energy index (from 15.3 percent to 22.6). But the company remained stationary at "D" in terms of energy transparency. Apple reportedly committed to having coal-free data centers which will be powered by 100-percent renewable energy in May, but Greenpeace says the company lacks a plan outlining a realistic path to achieve that goal. They add that Apple's main source of electricity, coal-reliant North Carolina-based Duke Energy, should be pushed toward that goal so Apple could be coal-free. – N.P. Arboleda

Complexity and the Art of Public Policy:
"We live in an increasingly interconnected world that generates hugely wicked problems--managing this complexity will be the hallmark of good governments. In this book, Colander and Kupers show how complexity is relevant to policymaking and present a rich menu of ideas for governments wanting to function better in today's intricate operating environment. It deserves to be read by all policymakers."--Peter Ho, Centre for Strategic Futures, Singapore
"Easily one of the best policy and economics books I've read in a long time. It should be widely read and studied by policymakers, students of public policy, and the informed public alike."--David W. Orr, Oberlin College and the Cleveland Foundation
"A blend of common sense, historical knowledge, and the latest developments in complexity theory, this book shows what's wrong with the current policy narrative, and offers an exciting alternative."--Martin Reeves, director of the BCG Strategy Institute
"This book describes how economics got us stuck into two competing policy narratives, and how complexity provides a new way forward. Policymakers everywhere should read it."--Andrew Steer, president and CEO of the World Resources Institute
"This accessible and well-researched book argues that the world in which our leaders govern has become increasingly complex and interconnected, with the potential for unexpected, harmful events, such as market crashes and political uprisings. Complexity, though, should not be avoided. Properly harnessed, the drivers of complexity can produce constant innovation while maintaining system-level robustness. Achieving those ends requires an understanding of the bottom-up thinking so engagingly presented in this book."--Scott Page, University of Michigan

Second wave of milder flu hitting Northeast
Published On: Apr 18 2014 06:01:53 PM EDT
A second, milder wave of flu is hitting the Northeast.
Months ago, the flu season seemed to be winding down. But health officials on Friday reported widespread flu-like illnesses in six states. Rhode Island is the latest to join the list which includes Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Jersey and New York.
Officials from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention say the flu season started in December and peaked by mid-January, and most of the illnesses were swine flu.
But, as happens some years, there's a second wave of a milder flu strain.

The Sardinia region
Sardinia as beautiful as it is, is the second island in the Mediterranean sea for extension. It is also a very ancient island rich in history and legends and everywhere there are traces of human settlements dated from the Neolithic Age. The climate allows to have a very long summer season, from April to November.
Pula Sardinia
Pula is a popular holiday resort with many famous hotels and beaches. The most popular month is August.
The Nora archaeological site is a pre-Roman village on which the Romans later built.
The archaeological area is very well kept and shows the evidence left following the Punic and Roman dominations. Nora used to be considered one of the main landing places in the Mediterranean area, thanks to its strategic position. Today, part of the ruins have still not been uncovered, but visitors can still admire the beauty and the prosperity that Nora enjoyed in past times. Pula is not only history and archaeology, but also beautiful coasts quite appreciated by the numerous tourists crowding the area's beaches and resorts, for the most part during the summer. Pula is also important for the Italian Golf Open that takes place at the Is Molas Golf Club. Every year, this sport's most important champions and numerous VIPs meet here.

This sweetie is CC Designs Swiss Pixies Santa Lula and I think she's adorable. I colored her with copics and colored pencils. Then I applied Liquid Applique to her dress, hat, and boots. The sentiment is from the Christmas Logos set and the bells were cut from glittery gold paper using the CC Designs Cutter Bells Die. Be sure to stop by the All That Scraps Blog to see what the rest of the team is sharing today.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day!
Hugs, Anita

Arne Svenson, The Neighbors #11, 2012 © Arne Svenson, Courtesy Julie Saul Gallery, New York
The Prying Eye Of The Public Lens, a response piece I wrote for the Carnegie Museum of Art's Hillman Photography Initiative was published earlier today.
A greater cynic than I might argue that Arne Svenson was working for the state when making photographs of his neighbors. One might suggest this not because there is any inherent value, lest any valuable information about the individuals within the snooping shots, but rather, because the brouhaha that erupted around the exhibition of The Neighbors at the Julie Saul Gallery was a distorting and damaging version of the ongoing conversation about privacy in our society.
I go on to explain how the protestations of Svenson's (very affluent) neighbours, lawsuits and public outcry derailed us from actually seeing the more pernicious and invasive layers of surveillance we are subject to daily … and especially in New York city.
Read the 1,200 words here.
The inaugural HPI at CMOA "investigates the lifecycle of images: their creation, transmission, consumption, storage, potential loss, and reemergence. Technology accelerates the pace of this cycle, and often alters or redirects the trajectory of an image in unexpected, powerful ways."
Transition and consumption: Love that. I'm proud to be associated with CMOA's broader consideration of images within society. HPI is getting inside the bloodstreams of the media and changing the discussion.
Photo: Bob Schutz. Inmates at Attica State Prison in Attica, N.Y., raise their hands in clenched fists in a show of unity, Sept. 1971, during the Attica uprising, which took the lives of 43 people.
Last week marked the 43rd anniversary of the historic Attica Rebellion. In conjunction with the anniversary, Critical Resistance New York City (CRNYC) has launched the Attica Interview Project, to support prison closure organizing in New York. CRNYC is looking for people with personal archives stories and will collect and facilitate oral history, video and audio recordings, and still images.
CRNYC's documentation is grounded in a philosophy of self-representation.
"People who participate determine how and when they are photographed and recorded," says a CRNYC statement. "We strive to represent interview participants not as victims, but as agents of social change struggling individually and collectively to improve their lives and conditions."
Bryan Welton, a member with Critical Resistance New York City wrote:
At the time of the rebellion, the US prison population was less than 200,000. On the fourth day of the prisoner-led takeover of Attica, September 13th, 1971, then-Governor Nelson Rockefeller deployed New York State Troopers to set murderous siege on the prison. A campaign of sustained terror and repression to restore the power of guards and administrators at Attica followed. The systematic attack against the gains won by struggles inside and outside prison walls, which nourished the spirit of revolt in Attica and the broader prisoner movement of the period, parallels the rise of the prison industrial complex to where we stand today. Few people then imagined that the imprisoned population in the US would explode to 2.4 million.
The Attica Rebellion developed not only in response to conditions of dehumanizing racism and violence in the prison, but was strengthened by the confluence of imprisoned revolutionaries from Black liberation, Native and Puerto Rican anti-colonial, and anti-imperialist movements. The demands articulated by the Attica Liberation Faction unleashed an abolitionist imagination that continues to propel prisoner-led struggles up to today. Through oral history, the project seeks to document the legacy of repression, survival and resistance at Attica, while using material to shape a broader narrative about the PIC and abolition and fuel ongoing demands to close Attica.
Supported by sentencing reforms won through organized opposition to the Rockefeller Drug Laws and fights over deadly conditions in New York prisons and jails, prison populations in New York have decreased by 15,000 people since 2000. This decrease combined with the costs of maintaining staffing and infrastructure for empty prisons moved Governor Andrew Cuomo to close nine prisons in four years, with four more closures projected within the year. Although dispersed across the state and including both men's and women's prisons, what is common among these closure targets is their classification as minimum or medium security prisons holding people convicted of low-level drug offenses and "nonviolent crimes." As we seize on any and all opportunities for prison closures, we understand the threat of cementing the "worst of the worst" classification for people held in maximum security, supermax and solitary confinement units and how the deepening of that logic enables the disappearance, dehumanization, torture and death of people in prisons everywhere. This criminalization is being amplified as prison-dependent economies, from the political representatives of prison towns to the 26,000 member guards' unions (NYSCOPBA), desperately mobilize against decarceration and prison closures.
The stories of resistance, resilience, and struggle coming from the survivors of Attica and prisons across the country can offer not only a reminder of the history in which our movement is rooted, but a signal fire of which direction we should head. In the words of Attica Brother, LD Barkley, "The entire prison populace has set forth to change forever the ruthless brutalization and disregard for the lives of the prisoners here and throughout the United States. What has happened here is but the sound before the fury of those that are oppressed."

Such a careful approach and revisiting of Attica's history is timely and essential. An accurate version — and not the official state version — must be established. Following Attica, there were a number of inquiries (for example, Cornell Capa's photographic survey of the facility here and here), however, not all inquiries met or served public need. Suspicions of a cover up of excessive violence and extrajudicial murder during the retaking of the prison have been constant.
The second and third parts of the Meyer Report (1975), an investigation of a commission headed by New York State Supreme Court JusticeBernard Meyer, were sealed and never released to the public.
The Democrat & Chronicle reports:
The focused on claims of a cover-up of crimes committed by police who seized control of the prison with a deadly fusillade of gunfire. Those allegations came from Assistant Attorney General Malcolm Bell, who had been part of an investigation into fatal shootings and other possible crimes committed during the retaking.
Wikipedia, quoted civil rights documentary Eyes On The Prize, triangulates the claims:
Elliot L.D. Barkley, was a strong force during the negotiations, speaking with great articulation to the inmates, the camera crews, and outsiders at home. Barkley was killed during the recapturing of the prison. Assemblyman Arthur Eve testified that Barkley was alive after the prisoners had surrendered and the state regained control; another inmate stated that the officers searched him out, yelling for Barkley, and shot him in the back.
It is believed parts two and three of the Meyer Report detail grand jury testimony given during an investigation into the riot and retaking. Late last year, a New York judge ruled the documents could be opened. It came at a request of Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. The majority of people are in support of the move, understandably given the length of time since the murders. The state troopers are opposed.
It's high time the people had access to the same information the state has had for nearly four decades. Only then can we confirm or dismiss a state cover-up and the protection of law enforcement individuals and those from whom they took orders, namely then-Governor Nelson Rockefeller.

This gruesome photo is one of several of murdered corpses included on this webpage. The images are uncredited, so I cannot verify there veracity. I've not seen them elsewhere. The boots, railings and sunken yard look consistent with Attica.
Prisoners are regimented following the state's retaking of control of Attica Prison. (I have no idea when the trench was dug, by whom or for what purpose).

Clean up.
There's so much out there online for you to dig into, so I humbly recommend these starting points:
Attica Uprising 101, is the best brief description of the events those 5 days in September 1971.
Forgotten Survivors of Attica, a group of guards and prisoners' families alike who are in search of transparency and believe there was a state cover up.
Project Attica, a recent project with school children to teach them about racial politics, oral histories and Black America using Attica as a prism through which to do so.
Attica Rebellion Film Collection
Here is one of the better collection of images online in a single place.
Finally, I'd like to know if these photographs of prisoners' corpses can be verified as being from Attica on the 13th, September, 1971. They are presented as images of those killed as a result of the state assault on the prison.
Prison Obscura got a nice review by Carolina Miranda in the Los Angeles Times.
An excerpt from Gut-wrenching photo evidence from Brown vs. Plata in 'Prison Obscura':
Perhaps most gut-wrenching is the series of pictures generated as evidence for the case of Brown vs. Plata, a class-action lawsuit against the state of California, related to issues of access to medical care and serious overcrowding in the state's prisons. The case made it all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ordered California to release 46,000 inmates in order to relieve conditions.
"[Prison Obscura] is aesthetically beautiful and challenging, and it's didactic without being patronizing," says Juliet Koss, who is the director of the Humanities Institute at Scripps. "But it also ties into what we are doing in the Institute. The theme for the semester is 'silence' and this was an interesting way of exploring that: of people who have been silenced or the general silence that there is about this topic."
An absolute honour to have the attentions of critic Carolina Miranda, whose writings and focus on the vernacular, on everyday creativity and on pursuits of beauty and meaning beyond the restrictive parameters of the art market, I have long admired.
A few months ago, I shared an announcement for the 'Marking Time' Prison Arts and Activism Conference, organised by the Institute for Research on Women (IRW) at Rutgers University.
Earlier this week, IRW announced the schedule for the October 8the -10th conference. On it are some inspiring artists whose work I've long admired from distance. Great line up.
I'm also pleased to mention that I'll be moderating a panel, the proposal for which, for your informations, I have copy&pasted below.
Panel: Imagery and Prisons: Engaging and Persuading Audiences
We produce and consume an enormous quantity of images each day (350 million photos are uploaded daily to Facebook alone and the average person sees 5,000 advertisements per day). While images often reify stereotypes and social causality, many artists are creating and distributing photographs or disrupting dominant visual culture in hopes of supporting or instigating prison activism and reform. By looking at three practitioners with distinct approaches, audiences and strategies, this panel will explore the power, limitations, and corresponding ethics of visual activism. What images do citizens have access to? Who controls cliche and motif? What new images of prisons and prisoners need to be made? How can collaborative modes of producing and understanding images be catalysts for collective action? How can photography get past its role as mere documentation of prisons to help create visions for alternatives to incarceration?
Across New York City, Lorenzo Steele Jr. exhibits photographs he made during his work as a correctional officer deep in Rikers Island. At church groups, in parking lots, in schools, and during summer community days, Steele brings graphic imagery directly to multiple generations within the catchment area of Rikers. Steele's presentations are accompanied by a number of workshops on conflict reconciliation, criminal justice and community.
Gregory Sale has produced longterm large scale projects that with significant institutional support have managed to bring together many disparate constituencies orbiting the criminal justice world. Sale's "It's Not All Black & White" made a conscious effort to wrestle the visual motifs and cliche of crime (striped jumpsuits, pink underwear and even brown skin) that Arizona's infamous Sheriff Joe Arpaio has manipulated for his own political advantage.
Mark Strandquist works with communities to create photographs requested by prisoners ("If you could have a window in your cell, what place from your past would it look out to?"). After sending images to the corresponding prisoners, the photographs are exhibited and expanded upon through extensive public programing that brings students, policy makers, former prisoners, and many others together to engage with the causes, effects, and alternatives to mass incarceration.
Moderator, Pete Brook will ask the panelists which approaches have worked and which have not. What presentations of material have engaged and persuaded audiences? What different expectations and needs do audiences have which we as artists and activists must consider?
Gregory Sale is multidisciplinary, socially-engaged artist, whose work investigates issues of incarceration, citizenship, visual culture and emotional territories. In 2011, Sale orchestrated It's Not All Black & White, a three-month residency exhibition at ASU Art Museum in Tempe, AZ. 52 programmed events brought together a wide array of constituencies including incarcerated persons, their families, parolees, ex-convicts, correctional officers, elected officials, government employees, members of the community, media representatives, artists, and researchers. It considered the cultural, social and personal issues at stake in the day-to-day workings of the criminal justice system in Arizona. Sale's most recent project, Sleepover grapples with the challenges of individuals reentering society after periods of incarceration.
Sale is the recipient of a Creative Capital Grant in Emerging Fields (2013) and an Art Matters Grant (2014) . In summer 2012, as a resident artist at Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, NY, and at VCCA in Amherst, VA, Sale's work has appeared in museums nationwide including the Ackland Art Museum, UNC-Chapel Hill and the Cheekwood Museum of Art, Nashville. Sale is Assistant Professor of Intermedia and Public Practice at Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ. Before that he served as the Visual Arts Director for Arizona Commission on the Arts, the Curator of Education at ASU Art Museum, and as a public art project manager for the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture.
Lorenzo Steele Jr. is a former New York City Correction Officer. He worked for 12 years at Rikers Island, considered by some as the most violent adolescent prison America.
In 2001, Steele founded Future Leaders, a non profit youth that provides workshops, training, education and consultation to children, parents and educators about incarceration and the criminal justice system. Steele has worked as a New York City Board of Education vendor and assisted organizations — such as The Administration for Children's Services (ACS), United Federation of Teachers (UFT) and the Nassau/Suffolk (BOCES) school district — with workshops on conflict resolution, bullying and literacy. He has also worked with the Brooklyn District Attorneys office providing gang and prison awareness to at-risk youth. He has lectured at college across the New York area. Steele is the recipient of awards from Congressional, Senate, and State Assemblymen for services to the community and to children's development.
Mark Strandquist is an artist, educator, and organizer. His projects facilitate interactions that incorporate viewers as direct participants and present alternative models for the civic and artistic ways in which we engage the world around us. Each interactive installation functions not as a culmination but as a starting point and catalyst for dialogue, exchange, and community action. While photography is often used, the visual aesthetics and technical mastery of the medium become secondary to the social process through which the images are created, and the social interactions that each exhibition produces.
The ongoing project Some Other Places We've Missed: Windows From Prison was awarded the 2014 Society for Photographic Educators' National Conference Image Maker Award, a Photowings/Ashoka Foundation Insights Changemaker Award, and the VCU Art's Dean's Award by juror Lisa Frieman. Strandquist's projects have been exhibited and presented in museums, film festivals, conferences, print and online magazines, and independent galleries. The project Write Home Soon was exhibited in the 2012-13 international showcase of Socially Engaged Art at the Art Museum of Americas, Washington, DC. The ongoing project, The People's Library is part of the permanent collection at the Main Branch of the Richmond Public Library and was presented by Strandquist and Courtney Bowles at the 2013 Open Engagement Conference. Strandquist is an adjunct faculty member at the Corcoran College of Art, a teaching artist with the University of Richmond's Partners in the Arts, a Professional Fellow at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, and a Capital Fellow at Provisions Library.
Final Words, launched today, is a sprawling documentary project that focuses on the humanity at center of the death penalty in America. It is the brainchild of photographer Marc Asnin known for his brick of a book Uncle Charlie. Well, this project takes Asnin from the personal to the political, but it is no less massive. Asnin's got form.
Asnin is asking photographers and non-photographers alike to submit selfies as statements against the death penalty. I'll get to that in a moment but first the project and the cause.
Final Words is a book and traveling exhibition, featuring the final statements of the 515 prisoners executed by the state of Texas since 1982. Final Words will shape and deliver curricula to American high-schoolers. If we can get the youngest generation talking then perhaps we can engineer a future without the barbaric death penalty?
The project statement explains that more than one person every month for thirty-one years has been executed by the Lone Star State:
Just before the execution is completed, each prisoner is given the opportunity to share their final thoughts. […] It is their words, their final words in this life, that allow the reader to experience the underlining humanity central to the death penalty debate. […] Final Words comprises a part of the legacy that will live on beyond us and it will stand as a testament to the kind of society we were—who our criminals were and how we implemented our idea of justice. Final Words interrogates our presuppositions about the death penalty. […] While this book is a document of death—the death of both the guilty and innocent, the criminals and the victims—it attempts to create a dialogue about life.
All this takes a movement. And money. An IndieGogo campaign will launch in a months time.
The editioned Final Words books will cost a pretty penny. Their sales will help raise money to pump simpler versions of the content and curricula into the bloodstream of the education system.
Each page of the book features a prisoner's mug shot, their age both at the time of the crime and when they were put to death, a description of the crime for which they stand convicted, and their final words.
Photographers Selfie Against the Death Penalty
In other efforts to corral some cash, Neverland Publications (cofounded by Asnin) and VII Association are collaborating on Photographers Selfie Against the Death Penalty, an international photo campaign to call for an end to executions in America. Highflying pixelmakers & imagershakers will submitting alongside us flailing Instagram plebs.
Note that the word "selfie" is used as a verb. I like that. Jury's out as to how much a collection of selfies can effect entrenched moral politics, but it's worth a try. Social media does nothing if not surprise regularly. And besides, all this just gets people talking ahead of Final Words' big fundraising campaign that ignites in October.
As the 501c3 sponsor of the project, VII Photo has asked all its photographers to participate in the selfie campaign. Get yourself in there too:
1. Make a selfie, save it to your computer.
2a. Upload selfie to http://www.final-words.org
2b. Fill out form (name, age, email address, location, how you heard about Photographers Selfies Against the Death Penalty, your preferred photography genre)
2c. Personalize your statement against the death penalty, by completing the following "I stand against the death penalty because …" in 140 characters or less.
Go on, selfie against the machine!
[Oh, if you're wondering how and why Asnin and his colleagues have the last statements of 515 men and women, it is because for some reason the state of Texas keeps a public online database of them. Weird, no?!]
The 15th Annual March to Abolish the Death Penalty takes place in Houston, Texas on Saturday October 25th at 2pm. Details on the exact location in Houston will be announced later.
If you happen upon a copy of the latest issue of Aperture The Sao Paolo Issue (215), you will find — on p.14 — 200 words by yours truly about evidentiary imagery. As part of Aperture's ongoing What Matters Now? series, I wrote:
In May 2011, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld an order to cut the prison population in California, on the grounds that overcrowding resulted in inadequate health care conditions and preventable deaths.
The majority ruling for the case, Brown v. Plata, was penned by Justice Kennedy who took the unorthodox step of including in the appendix three photographs of prison conditions. Perhaps, in this case, the facts really needed to be seen in order to be believed?
The three images represented a cache of hundreds of low-resolution, anonymous, poorly lit photographs used in the initial filings and ongoing compliance stages of Brown v. Plata. Their inclusion spurned widespread consternation among some law boffins who believed that photographs are too emotive and too imprecise, and have no place in high-profile legal cases. I wonder at what point did the legal community decide written and oral evidence was more legitimate than visual evidence?
For too long there has been an arrogance among photography traditionalists that a professionally-made documentary image can change the world. If we are to truly identify images that change society, then we'd be better looking to legal briefs and not newspaper front pages. The images made by prison officials and legal teams that were used in Brown v Plata changed the daily living conditions of 165,000 men and women.
Hundreds of images from Brown vs Plata are part of the exhibition Prison Obscura.
The San Francisco based law firm Rosen, Bien, Galvan & Grunfeld that represented the prisoners (plaintiffs) have made available materials from the trial online, including many photos.
There's a brouhaha brewing in San Francisco. The Armory — home to legendary controversial fetish porn empire Kink.com — is to host an event to coincide with San Francisco Pride. The WE Party Prison Of Love is being billed as THE BIGGEST PRIDE PARTY … EVER.
The predictable format for the prison-themed discoteque includes chains, shackles, a dungeon, and likely a whole lot of improv domination roll play. The majority of the 3,000-strong crowd is expected to be gay men.
As a cisgender straight male, I tend not to have any opinions on gay culture worthy of public proclamation. But, a prison-themed rave does seem a little tacky, though. For San Francisco's trans-community, the Prison Of Love Party is far worse than tacky; it is an affront and a politically-clueless venture.
The Transgender Gender Variant, Intersex Justice Project in San Francisco, in an open letter to San Francisco Pride at the Armory, points out that the prison industrial complex abuses transgendered people strategically and disproportionally.
The primary signatory is Miss Major, one of this years SF Pride Grand Marshals.
It reads:
This year at least three SF Pride grand marshals are trans women who have been directly affected by the Prison Industrial Complex. Chelsea Manning is currently incarcerated, Miss Major is previously incarcerated and was politicized at Attica just after the 1971 uprising, and Jewlyes Gutierrez was arrested for defending herself from bullies in her high school.
The prison industrial complex and the incarceration of generations of people of color, gender variant, trans people, and queer people is not a sexy trope to throw a play party around. It's not that we don't love sex, sex parties, sex workers, and kink. It's that we love it as much as we love justice, and are appalled by the casual use of the Prison Industrial Complex, which destroys the lives of millions of people and kills thousands every year, as a party theme.
The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. In our own LGBTQI communities, incarceration and significant abuses perpetrated by the Prison Industrial Complex constitutes no less than a crisis. According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, nearly 1 in 6 transgender people have been incarcerated at some point in their lives. Among Black transgender people, 47% have been incarcerated at some point in their lives. These rates overwhelmingly reflect the experiences of transgender women and especially trans women of color, who are housed in men's prisons and face catastrophic rates of physical abuse, psychological terror, rape and sexual assault, and death. According to Just Detention International, 67% of LGBT prisoners reported being assaulted while in prison.
Not only is our queer community being harmed, the War on Drugs and the increasing privatization of prisons has created a phenomenon of mass incarceration of young Black and Latino men, and increasingly women too, which has economically, socially, and politically devastated these communities.
We are not interested in yucking anyone's yum or shaming anyone who has fantasies or fetishes about ideas of this real-life violence. We are not interested in censorship or policing anyone's sex life. We are interested in public space and party themes that get us closer to liberation from systemic and administrative violence and do not recreate a culture that normalizes or continues our oppression. Our push back is about navigating the legal and extra-legal targeting and criminalization of our communities.
At a time when public discussion and media finally has an eye toward the daily systemic violence against trans and queer people, your party theme and promotions are especially harmful and trivializing.
As individuals and organizations committed to justice and equality for LGBTQI peoples, we are working to end violence in our communities, and particularly at the hands of law enforcement, jails, detention centers and prisons. We've been doing this for years, and we'll be supporting our brothers, sisters and siblings behind prison walls while you're hosting a sex and dance event on Pride weekend that trivializes themes of incarceration and abuse as a good time.
We're calling on you to understand how important these issues are to every member of our community, even if you've had the good fortune to not be hyper-visible and profiled by police, locked up, and then trapped in a cycle of institutional violence perpetrated by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, ICE, and the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
We're calling on you to immediately change the theme of your party, and not use themes of arrest and incarceration, correctional officers beating inmates, solitary confinement, prison yards, or suggestions of prison rape in promoting your event.
As a step towards accountability and redress we're also calling on you to donate a portion of the proceeds of your party to the Transgender Gender Variant Intersex Justice Project, El/La Para TransLatinas, and Communities United Against Violence, all organizations that are dedicated to ending police, prison, and systemic violence against trans and queer people in the Bay Area and beyond.

Well said.
Unfortunately, I don't think the protests nor the #NotProud Boycott SF Pride movement will stand in the way of this Pride At The Armory shindig. Half the tickets have already sold. It's large event long in the planning and those types of entertainment-ships don't turn.
That's a shame because facts are facts and the issue is undeniable.
- LGBT teens comprise as much as 15% of the general population in juvenile justice facilities; among girls alone, 27% are lesbian or bisexual.
- LGBT young people and adults face harsher penalties from the justice system. LGBT people face higher rates of abuse and assault in prison.
- The two 2 leading risk factors for prisoner rape are previous sexual abuse and being LGBT.
- Incarcerated homosexual and bisexual men are sexually assaulted at rates 10 times higher than their heterosexual counterparts.
- The federal definition of "rape" didn't even include men or non-vaginal penetration until 2010. Men assaulted in prison were not considered rape victims by the U.S. Department of Justice until 2010.
- Incarcerated trans women in men's prisons report rates of sexual assault nearly 13 times greater than that among groups of other people.
More depressing facts here.
Bad call. PR fail SF Pride.
As Jezebel puts it, "Call it Dungeons & Dragons themed, call it Party in Westeros, do something else that involves bars and chains and implements of "torture." But this? Taking one of the biggest issues facing the LGBT+ community and turning it into a party?"

Facebook's silver(-haired) lining
By B.J. Roche
One afternoon last week I logged into my Facebook page to find an ever-growing online list of heartfelt tributes to George Parks, the much-loved director of the UMass Marching Band who died of a heart attack at age 57 while en route to the University of Michigan for a big game. The posts ran the gamut from fellow UMass alums from the 1970s to current students.
Just below that was an update from my niece that included some absolutely breathtaking 4D in utero photos of my late brother Tim's first grandson, who should be arriving next month.
The thread pretty much summed up the way Facebook, which started out as a college student's game, has changed how we middle-aged women connect, across the generations, as well as with one other. (I promptly e-mailed the photos to my 85-year-old mother, who has more friends than I do.)
In 2009, women over age 55 were the fastest growing demographic on Facebook, and though most of my UMass students still profess a powerful addiction to the site, you do wonder whether it will lose its luster as so many gray-hairs start appearing there. (Although there's apparently plenty of room; with 500 million members, Facebook, which is less than 10 years old, is larger than most countries.)
Facebook is a different experience for us older users than it is for the twenty-somethings. I've heard stories of formal and informal Facebook reunions among women who hadn't seen one since junior high. And it's unnerving how a quick peek in the middle of the day can bring you right back to junior high, say, when an eighth-grade Mean Girl now wants to be your friend.
After all that time, there's a risk to reconnecting. What if she's still a Mean Girl? What if you are? Sometimes it's a disaster, and you move on. But other times, as Fiftyshift.com and BellaOnlinebloggerJulie Fredrick writes, it can be a chance worth taking.
Older people are also using social media to build their careers and promote their causes, and the result is sometimes a risky mix of work and personal life.
It's created new dilemmas: Should you friend your kid? (Ask him.) How about your husband's ex? (Hmmm.) Do people get a notice when you turn down their friend requests? (No.)
And just what is the etiquette when an old boyfriend shows up in your friend request box? (As one of my students advised, Ignore, Ignore, Ignore! Or not.)
Many companies now have social media policies, and people need to have them, too. Don't friend your students. Assume everything can be seen by everybody. Forever. And you may want to keep your work-related contacts over on LinkedIn. BlogHer columnist and career coach Paula Gregorowicz offers these tips for managing your online professional and personal life.
And the wags at The Onion provide an E-Mom primer on keeping tabs on your grown children online. Try this at home.

Changes are in store for students in the Omaha Public School District next school year. The school board approved policy revisions at their meeting Monday night.
One change involves e-cigarettes. They've been growing in popularity, so across the metro schools are trying to take steps to stop it from reaching their students.
Papillion-La Vista and Millard school districts have discussed the issue. Now OPS is taking a stand. The board voted Monday night to include wording to ban vaporizing e-cigarettes starting the 2014 to 2015 school year.
Another change approved will govern how school officials take student attendance.
Matt Ray, with OPS, said, "This gives more reasons to have an excused absence for funeral, bereavement school activities. It gives more of a list of reasons that students will be out of school to keep record of why they will be out."
There will also be a change to athletic eligibility. It was voted on earlier but will now officially go into the code of conduct.
School board president Justin Wayne is also looking towards making more changes. He is creating a subcommittee to look at various issues including the policy for how schools handle punishment.

Dirty and perverted.
I loved the movie and will read the book now. Damian (soames)was best love to hate character ever
Outstanding performances by Damien Lewis & Corin Redgrave. Some costume-dramas are beautiful to watch, but thin on substance, but everything in FS, from the dialogue to the characterizations, is superb. One of the best costume-dramas I've seen. And you've got to love the spinster aunts (what good period drama doesn't have at least one): "The loss of a husband is nothing to the loss of a good butler, my dear".

any idea what this message means?
input in flex scanner failed
you might get a response if you told us what the context of that error message is.
What program were you using at the time?
What were you trying to do?
What commands had you just entered?
What language/database were you using?
it is a php script and mysql database script.
I just modified my script a bit, and suddenly i get this error, which is completely bizarre. I think it might be to do with a failed require() but not sure why it is not giving the standard error, i am still testing it out just thought it might be some standard error message i couldn't find anything about.
yeah it was bust require statements. i was doing require($name) and $name was empty, instead of saying file not found, it was giving this rather more cryptic error (what does it actually mean) anyway found it at least :)
