Impatiens Downy Mildew Resources for Greenhouses
In 2012 impatiens downy mildew (IDM) caused devastating losses to impatiens plantings in many states. In Maine, IDM was confirmed from one garden and unconfirmed reports of impatiens losses due to IDM were common.
For the 2013 growing season many Maine greenhouses greatly reduced the number of impatiens they produce or entirely eliminated impatiens from production. While no symptoms of IDM were observed during inspections of greenhouse and garden centers in 2013, there were 4 confirmed reports (Bath, Orono, Bangor, Portland) in landscape plantings in August and September.
Nationwide there were fewer reports of IDM in 2013, however, greenhouses and gardeners will likely continue to see losses from IDM in upcoming growing seasons. Decreases in reports of IDM could be due to fewer impatiens grown, more preventative measures applied to impatiens crop and unfavorable weather conditions for diesease development in some parts of the counrty.
Greenhouses and gardeners alike should have a plan in place to prevent and manage impatiens downy mildew should symptoms be observed in future plantings.
Disease Facts
- Caused by: The water mold Plasmopara obducens,
- Hosts: All varieties of garden impatiens, Impatiens walleriana and balsam impatiens, Impatiens balsamina. Wild jewelweeds are also susceptible.
- Non-Hosts: New Guinea impatiens, Impatiens hawkeri, and other plants are NOT affected.
- Symptoms: Yellowing of the upper leaf surface and downward curling foliage. Early symptoms may resemble nutritional problems, but undersides of leaves are covered in a white fuzzy growth. As the disease progresses leaves and flowers drop, leaving bare stems behind. Eventually the entire plant collapses.
- Spread: Spores in water splashed from nearby infected plants, spores blown long distances by the wind or spores that over wintered in the garden soil. Movement of infected plant material also facilitates the spread of the disease.
- Environment: Cool-humid conditions.
- Prevention: Avoid growing impatiens in environments where leaves stay wet for long periods of time such as in dense shade, or crowded plantings with poor air circulation. Avoid overhead irrigation and water plants early in the day when foliage has plenty of time to dry before nightfall. Inspect incoming shipments carefully and regularly scout the greenhouse, immediately remove any suspicious plants.
- Treatment: Infected plants will not recover. Immediately remove plants with symptoms, including roots, bag and discard. Do not compost plants with impatiens downy mildew. Advise customers to not replant impatiens on sites where infected plants have been observed in the past. Aggressive preventative fungicide programs can be employed in the greenhouse to prevent disease.
- Alternative Plants: Substitutes for impatiens include begonias, coleus and New Guinea impatiens.

"They have since become a close-knit, highly professional team that is known in Administration circles as the Irish Mafia.'" - Time cover story, September 1, 1961
Now that Barack Obama has officially moved into the White House, many feel a sense of optimism, despite the vast challenges facing America.
Such feelings, naturally, recall January of 1961 when, on a bright, frozen Washington morning, John Fitzgerald Kennedy was inaugurated, declaring that "the torch has been passed to a new generation - born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage."
It wasn't just Kennedy's speech, youth and good looks that gave people a reason to feel optimistic. It was also the undeniable history of the occasion.
Kennedy was the descendant of an Irish Famine survivor and America's first Catholic president. So, awareness of this "ancient heritage" was inevitably going to trickle down and change the kinds of people at the center of American power.
As a trailblazer himself, Kennedy opened doors for those who might otherwise not have made it to the corridors of power.
Specifically, Irish American Catholics played a central role in early 1960s Washington.
Who were these movers and shakers who were so close to Kennedy, so Hibernian in background and temperament that they came to be called "the Irish mafia"?
The Irish "Murphia"
Of course, there had been Irish powerbrokers in Washington before Kennedy. Both James Farley and Thomas (the Cork) Corcoran were close aides to Franklin Roosevelt, while Mike Mansfield (the son of Irish immigrants) was elected to the Senate the same year JFK became president. However, the Irish - even when they achieved great power in New York, Boston and Chicago - generally ruled over their native cities, rather than Washington.
All that changed with JFK's election in 1960. The most prominent Irish Americans surrounding Kennedy were David Francis Powers, Dick Donahue, Kenneth O'Donnell and Lawrence O'Brien, a quartet of political wizards who were aiding JFK long before he ran for president.
When you also consider that JFK's brother, Bobby, was one of his closest aides (and his Attorney General), as well as the informal advice often given to JFK by his father, Joe Sr., you see why it was whispered that Kennedy presided over an "Irish Mafia" - or "Murphia," as Jackie Kennedy once called them. (Kennedy confidant and biographer Theodore Sorensen once commented that despite the jovial nature of the term, the group actually disliked the term "Irish Mafia," at least initially.)
"Powers" That Be
David Powers was the son of Irish immigrants from Cork who settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Always humble, Powers once said he was merely "a newsboy who met a president," referring to a childhood job. Powers - "Boston to his fingertips," according to the "Encyclopedia of the Irish in America" - first worked for Kennedy in 1946, when JFK ran for Congress.
Powers "was recruited to add a sense of working-class realism to what the Harvard-educated Kennedy feared might be perceived as his own lace-curtain credentials as a political candidate," the Washington Post once noted. Powers himself once said: "While Jack Kennedy was a completely new type of Irish politician himself, having come from such a different background, he was, at bottom, very Irish and he could never hear enough of the old Irish stories."

"Getting the right drive configuration is rarely possible with off-the-shelf cases. The ToughArmor series allows you to configure a new server for your specific use"

"Overall, we were very impressed with the oddly named Icy Dock MB994IPO-3SB. For users looking to store large amounts of data into a small HTPC or desktop, the MB994IPO-3SB is a very attractive option. As we stated earlier in this review, this Icy Dock unit is a great option for enthusiasts looking to expand capabilities in their workstations as well as for servers, both small and large. The biggest advantage of the MB994IPO-3SB is not so much its performance potential but its ability to get three things in a slot in a product that normally only has room for one: a slim optical drive caddy and two 2.5″ SAS drives/SSDs. Another big plus for this device is that it offers front access, which is a nice change from having to open your case to access additional drives."

"Overall, I was very impressed with the Icy Dock MB994IPO-3SB. This is one of those units that feels extremely solid with the all metal construction."

"The Icy Dock MB994IPO-3SB opens up small form factor systems to more storage without ODD sacrifice. The MB994IPO-3SB combines two 2.5" HDD racks and a slim ODD bay in a single 5.25" bay configuration. The MB994IPO-3SB uses a full aluminum metal construction. The HDD bays support SAS 2.0 and SATA III drives. Icy Dock installed a 40mm cooling fan on the rear that uses an on/off switch and features active power technology. The fan will only run when a drive is installed. The MB994IPO-3SB is powered by two Molex connections. Installed on the front are status LED indicators for each drive."

"Naming choice aside, there is nothing to complain about when it comes to the ICY DOCK MB994IPO-3SB. It delivers on quality, ease of use, and quiet operation. If you want to stuff large amounts of storage into a small HTPC or even expand your desktop system, the MB994IPO-3SB should be at the top of your list for consideration."

"This is a great idea if you are looking to make the use of the limited space you may have"

"For me, the MB994IPO-3SB is a home run. It meets my needs as a micro-ATX gamer and I feel it would be an excellent addition to users in the home-theater PC and SFF markets as well. With SSD prices plummeting in recent months and 1TB 2.5" HDDs readily available, this is one of the best choices for maximum utility in a minimum package."

Why Afghanistan might gain a CEO
As race for presidency nears, a new role is eyed for a former US ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad: Help Kabul work with the outside world.
Jacob Silberberg/AP/File
Kabul, Afghanistan
Afghan voter Bakhtiar Najman has some 40 other options this August besides President Hamid Karzai, whose leadership he describes as "bad." The trouble is, the others strike him as worse.
"So I will vote for bad," says Mr. Najman, a law student at Kabul University.
Mr. Karzai's popularity has slipped among Afghans and in Washington. Yet he enters the presidential race in a strong position, having sidelined and co-opted his strongest opponents.
Analysts and opposition figures blame the political paradox on the centralized nature of the government and the concentration of power in the presidency. And with elections fast approaching, proposed reforms are buzzing around Kabul, including the creation of a prime ministerial post. Perhaps most intriguing of all the possible solutions to decentralize power are the reports that former US ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad could step in as the country's "chief executive officer."
The CEO idea appears to hold appeal among frustrated Afghans, while the position's lack of definition and constitutional legitimacy worries experts.
"The office of president is … a 48-hour job given a 24-hour time frame," says William Maley, an Afghanistan expert at Australian National University. "Something to relieve the burdens of the office is vital. On the other hand, simply going down the path of having a CEO as an agent of the president, there's no foundation for institutionalizing the office."

CFPB mortgage rule experts move to Wells Fargo

CFPB mortgage rule experts move to Wells Fargo
April 21, 2014 – Wells Fargo recently hired two former CFPB officials involved in creating the bureau's new mortgage rules to help the bank expand its mortgage policies and home loan capital markets, according to reports.
American Banker
that Peter Carroll, previously CFPB's assistant director of mortgage markets, and Lisa Applegate, previously the bureau's mortgage-implementation lead, are now senior vice president of capital markets at Wells Fargo Home Mortgages and strategic quality manager within Wells' home lending capital markets group, respectively.
CFPB recently
in a regulator oversight hearing by the House Financial Services Committee. The bureau discussed its rules on auto lending, small-dollar loans and qualified mortgage requirements, as well as recent allegations of employment discrimination at the bureau.
NAFCU has weighed in on the new mortgage rules and the increased burden on credit unions with CFPB and Congress. Orion FCU CEO Daniel Weickenand, also a NAFCU Board member, testified in January on the same subject, describing his Memphis-based credit union's decision to stop offering non-qualified mortgage loans in light of the new regulations.
Testifying before the House Financial Services Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit, Weickenand said, "I cannot tell you how difficult this decision has been. Orion takes great care in placing our members with the right mortgage product, and the QM standard will inevitably force us to turn many creditworthy borrowers away."
NAFCU was the only financial trade association that opposed credit unions being under watch of CFPB.

DC Reveals Full April SUICIDE SQUAD Cover
by Newsarama Staff
Date: 18 March 2013 Time: 09:35 AM ET
It looks like the full cover reveals of DC's April titles are going to start coming fast and furious - Monday morning the publisher revealed the rightside of the full gatefold cover to Suicide Squad #19, featuring the team's surprise new leader. More than any other book, Suicide Squad has gone through several cast changes. That's of course by design - it's not called the shiny rainbow pony squad, after all. The new leader certainly lends an even deeper military aspect to the title, an interesting inclusion after DC's repeated failed attempts to get their military characters into the spotlight of the New 52, including Blackhawks, Men of War, and G.I. Combat.

Haney: Pac-12 Pivot Points
By RecruitingNation
If USC can keep a roster short on depth healthy, they could play in a BCS bowl. If Oregon can keep its offensive culture intact, the Ducks could challenge nationally. If Arizona State can stay competitive through an early stretch, the Sun Devils could be a major sleeper.
These and other pivot points will define the Pac-12 in 2013.
Travis Haney digs in

A group affiliated with Al Qaeda has been blamed for kidnappings in North Africa.
RABAT, Morocco — They called it a "solidarity caravan" — a group of Spanish volunteers delivering truckloads of donated computers, wheelchairs and other gifts for Africa's poor.
For the last eight years they had followed well-publicized routes through Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal and Gambia. This time, as the volunteers traversed the stretch of sand-swept pavement that is Mauritania's main highway, a group of armed men lay in wait.
Rather than solidarity, it seems, the gunmen sought hostages.
Members of the convoy heard gunshots at about 8 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 29, they told reporters. Those in front raced back to the caravan's last car. The Land Rover stood abandoned in the dark, doors gaping open. Money and equipment remained inside. The passengers had vanished.
Spanish authorities have blamed the kidnapping on an organization called "Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb." It is the same group authorities believe abducted a French man from his hotel in northern Mali just a few days earlier.
The kidnappings are the latest evidence of the group's growing strength in a lawless region on the edge of the Sahara desert called the Sahel, which includes parts of the North African countries of Mauritania, Mali, Chad and Niger, security experts say.
"Terrorism is on the rise across the Sahel," said Justin Crump, a head of terrorism and country risk at the British security analysis firm Stirling Assynt. "There is little doubt that Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb itself is extending its reach to the south."
Recent operations with clear links to the group have taken place in Mauritania, Mali and Niger, Crump said, but the organization first emerged in Algeria during that country's bloody civil war in the 1990s. Initially calling themselves the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat, the Islamist guerillas targeted the Algerian government with the goal of establishing a Muslim state in the region.
But in 2003 they declared allegiance to Al Qaeda and its global goals. On Sept. 11, 2006, Al Qaeda's second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, approved the union in a video. Since then, the group has increasingly taken aim at foreign targets and expanded its membership beyond Algeria.
"Al Qaeda's role is to offer a compelling global jihadist vision, which has great appeal to religiously minded tribesmen," Crump said.
As the Algerian government has succeeded in limiting the organization's movements, the fighters have spread out to other countries in the region. "Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has found itself under increasing pressure in the north, where it used to be the most active," said Richard Barrett, who coordinates the United Nations Al Qaeda Taliban Monitoring Team. "And therefore it looks to its branches in the south to provide the logistical support, the financial support and everything else."

Posted in art journal, artwork, Moleskine on 03/21/2014 10:07 am by opalThis week's Art Journal Exploits topic is Portraits. Since I mainly do portraits in my journal, I thought this would be a cinch for me. Instead I kind of struggled with it. Actually, it seems like I've been struggling with a lot of things lately.
I've been having health problems that's made it difficult to do day to day things. That's put me in a bit of a funk. It's not a feeling I like to sit with, so I had to have a hard talk with myself about all the blessings I have in my life despite the hard times I'm going through.
This page reflects the gratitude I have for all the little things in my life. It also serves as a reminder that I wouldn't have them if I were anyone else, health problems included. The quote reminds me to envy no one and to treasure what I have.
When I first sketched out the girl, a friend said she looked like me. I didn't paint her like me but I like to think she reflects the part of me that is at peace with the world and with what she has which is why I painted her in cool calm blues.
I'm particularly in love with adding modeling paste with stencils lately. I just love the added texture it gives.
I don't just use stencils with modeling paste. I also use stencils in the layers below with paint. You can still see the designs peeking out through the top. You can also see the Tim Holtz tissue paper I used for the background making an appearance.
Even though the start of this page was bumpy, it came together smoothly and was quite cathartic. As always art is something that soothes me in times of need.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend. :)

Gentlemen! We offer a simple device that enables me to discover a new dimension in sound.
This technology is known in Russia since 2007. In 2009 I created the audio company that promoted this innovative research design to the level of audio technology in the industrial area of play, and most importantly sound recording. Following a simple graphic instructions for 6 hours, you can easily pick up the sound of your system to an unattainable height. Of course my devices have two channels to produce (stereo). concept inclusion you will easily find the Russian Internet, or on my forum about the living sound. |

In the past 5 months I was in no audio. Although the audio is clear, elementary, and ... uninteresting. Some of my equipment here, parse them and not be able to enlighten the MAE can not be X-rays.
I warned! I switched to medicine, especially as there is interenye money - business is business Samples of the control of audio tracks are on my site and some of the sound may SUBMITTED give my channel Yor-tube. On the physics of the processes I do not want to say - it's only a quarter of physics knowledge. Any doctor or esoteric will understand me - the knowledge of human skeleton and muscles, gives the opportunity to treat the patient's -. Deeper and deeper. Look for depth! Gentlemen! |

Yes, sorry! Forgot to make reference to the frequency of the Schumann, which is itself the value is not constant, the value is variable. But depend on it and play the recording timing of the time when this record will listen. And no amount of pathetic stupid "noise generators" that sell for 400 dollars Lohamei problem will not solve the correct sound.
"Generators for suckers" are not tied to a specific noise frequency and the time of writing, but consistently produce the same kvartsovannuyu frequency. What is a fatal error! Change the frequency of the voice artist in the microphone capsule and microphone cables to the amplifier. It's enough to have input from the dc amplifier. But about that ******* do not know! Do not know about amps from 0 Hz. Fools have done elementary physical errors at the level of student grade 6 school, and now the whole world and all the audio industry can not fix them. Correct and accurate sound bad for business, that's what a paradox! It's not about klsse your amp or not to have it "right" lamps or transistors. I collect for fun on the power amplifiers of the Darlington composite Motorola 11 015 11 016 Mx. Just for fun and celebration on the principle of hertz and 7.8 hertz ... It's not about the details - paradox lies in the principle of sound processing. Paradox in its physics and holographic sound wave. Or not the wave, and quantum information of energy? The point is that stupid mistake, which did at the dawn of audio and around it and run all indenery. They are almost equal in grade 6 student intelligence, who could see clearly how to do over the amplifiers properly. But apparently fools to be profitable? Ok, I've finished ... Anyone who listens to vinyl and analog I hope I get it? |

Where analyzed 2 weeks? Rather about one element of it ... Not the most important element! But the element that shows the existence of the present invention. And then explain their behavior, perhaps incomprehensible to some people. Maybe I do not understand people far from inventive business. But I'm in this business for 20 years, inventions, so explain to newcomers. Six months later, there is probably even more! I know that tono published this information in early July of 2010 can be viewed by date figures. But the moderator has decided it to you spyatat? Why start a theme is dated August 24? Perhaps someone has already invented a "time machine". In fact, the case can be summed up sad. The rate of progress is almost 0. Is this intellectual forum? But the idea is fantastic, but it works fine. True to patent it does not make sense. It makes no sense to patent the wheel or patent metallic ball. Especially the idea that the world is laid out for discussion. Even on this forum a few people got away from me the exact links and detailed instructions. And there are many other forums. And everywhere I answered. But I'm tired of this occupation. Apparently people do not know how to work as a team. That's why, eh? Interpretation fool can patent the wheel - will bring together smart cars will ride on it. Just finished greedy patent the metal ball - a clever devise bearing. I think I was in the company of fools and baryg. Oh oh oh, Yurich as it looks like Russia. Gentlemen, I think you suffer from laziness. While some Canadians and Americans are not lazy to translate my website in secret. I do not understand why they do it? It was easier for me to ask - how to make money from my invention. How to make great live sound, by the topology and configuration guides and resonators. Is money and you are interested in patents more real progress in the audio? Little to disappoint you ladies and gentlemen. Russian say gullible and stupid, but it is a mistake. Big and serious mistake. We just love seem so - it's easier to quickly understand who you're dealing with. Easier to evaluate partner. Give little opportunity to cheat yourself to check who your team-mate. Real player, which makes it a fan or from the podium, accidentally have run onto the playing field? The more we play it blind, not knowing each other's face. So I gave private information onto a wheelbarrow that allows you to do ... But this information does not allow to make the car. My information is essential, but not complete. I hope my comparative analogy with the sound clear? And for that to make progress in the movement of cars to the car will require a substantial time. I think I see the progress of those who tried to deceive me. But I'm happy to watch the process, really. We're weird Russian, we have been slowly preparing for the trip, but very fast ride. Therefore, gentlemen, you did not catch up. Catch up in this technology. Good luck to you in a war with each other ... Patents sell. And long live the economic crisis! Hooray! I went out to enjoy the music ... Last edited by Kunashirsky; 1st February 2012 at 06:51 AM. |

Obama, Romney: Who will woo the most voters in the final days? (+video)
The polls show the race for president is still a dead heat. In the meantime, President Barack Obama and his Republican rival Mitt Romney scramble to make their final campaign stops in the last few days leading up to the election.
GREEN BAY, Wis.
President Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney went back on the attack on Thursday, breaking a storm-induced campaign truce to hit the road and pound home their closing messages in the final stretch of a tight battle for the White House.
With five days left until Tuesday's election, Obama received an endorsement from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, resurrected his 2008 "change" slogan and said he was the only candidate who had actually fought for it.
Romney criticized Obama as a lover of big government who would expand the federal bureaucracy.
National polls show the race deadlocked, and Obama and Romney will spend the final days in eight swing states that will decide who wins the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the White House.
Obama made Wisconsin the first stop on a four-state swing on Thursday that also took him to rallies in Nevada and Colorado before going to Ohio for the night. Romney had a full day of campaigning across Virginia.
"You may be frustrated at the pace of change, but you know what I believe, you know where I stand," Obama told a crowd of 2,600 people on an airport tarmac in Wisconsin, a state that is a vital piece of his electoral strategy. "I know what change looks like because I've fought for it."

Free Comic Book Day: What to look out for
Today is Free Comic Book Day, and here's a rundown of some of the comics that caught my interest. If you want to check 'em out before you go, CBR has previews of many of the FCBD titles. (My FCBD comics came from my favorite Boston comics shop, Comicopia.)
Hands down, the one comic everybody wants is Archaia's hardback anthology, which includes brand-new stories from six of their titles: Mouse Guard, Labyrinth, Return of the Dapper Men, Rust, Cursed Pirate Girl, and Cow Boy. The stories stand on their own but also tie in to the books in clever ways; the Mouse Guard story is a puppet show, and the Rust story features a boy writing a letter to his father (as his older brother does in the book). This book is a keeper; it even has a nameplate inside the front cover. Here's a list of where Archaia creators will be doing book signings this FCBD.
BOOM! Studios has a nice flipbook with several Adventure Time comics on one side and Peanuts on the other. The Peanuts comics are mildly funny, but the Adventure Time side is edgier and features extra stories by Lucy Knisley and Michael DeForge. The stories are colorful and lively, and DeForge's contribution, about a bacon ecosystem that supports tiny breakfast organisms, is downright surreal.
First day of school for CBLDF Comics College
Here's an opportunity to do good by doing something awesome: The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is launching Comics College, a series of "Master Sessions" on the craft and business of comics, led by well-known professionals. The campus is the CBLDF offices in New York; the first class is on Saturday, Sept. 17, and will feature Fred Van Lente (Action Philosophers, Incredible Hercules) and Greg Pak (Incredible Hercules, Incredible Hulk) discussing the ins and outs of self-publishing.
Can't make it to NYC? You can still kick in and support the CBLDF by bidding on some of the pieces in their eBay auction, which ends on Sunday.
Or you could, you know, just give them some cash. But this is more fun.
SDCC '11 | You have until 1 p.m. to bid remotely in the CBLDF art auction
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is holding an art auction tonight in San Diego to raise money for their various programs, but even if you can't attend the live auction, you can still bid on some really nice art (like the above Snarked image by Roger Langridge). But you'll need to hurry — bids will only be accepted until 1 p.m. Pacific today. You can find complete details, including a list of what's up for auction, on the CBLDF site or after the jump.
SDCC '11 | Comic Book Legal Defense Fund brings shirts, scents and more
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has been very busy lately, fighting censorship laws and border searches, as well as launching an advertising campaign. So they've got a lot planned for Comic-Con this year, with plenty of chances for fans to help contribute to their cause.
Here's a quick rundown of their merchandise, art auctions and more:
- Graphitti Designs will sell two brand-new CBLDF benefit tees — one featuring Grendel by Matt Wagner, and one featuring Uncle Sam by John Cassaday.
- Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab and J. Gonzo are teaming up to benefit the CBLDF with a new Luchadore inspired print and fragrance set celebrating the launch of J. Gonzo's new series La Mano del Destino.
- The CBLDF, Image Comics and T-shirt website Threadless will host a welcome party Thursday night, with gift bags, raffles and the launch of the new Threadless Comics Tee: Noir.
- Saturday night the CBLDF will hold an art auction featuring art by Frank Quitely, Dave Gibbons, Paul Pope, Tony Harris, Jaime Hernandez, Terry Moore, Camilla D'Errico, Bill Sienkiewicz, Stefano Gaudiano, Terry Dodson, Camilla D'Errico , Jonathan Luna and many more. Details are here.
- And lastly, they've got several Master Classes and panels lined up all week. Details are here.
You can check out the Graphitti Designs shirts after the jump.
CBLDF: Alaska law overturned, fund-raising begins for Canada case
Last week we reported that the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund was raising money to aid the defense of an American man who faces criminal child pornography charges in Canada because of manga found on his laptop by Canadian customs. This week, the Supreme Court struck down a California law regulating video games in a case in which the CBLDF had filed a friend-of-the-court brief. Today, a federal district court barred enforcement of an Alaska statute that would have made it a criminal offense to post material online that is "harmful to minors"; the CBLDF was one of the plaintiffs in that case. That's a big week!
I asked Executive Director Charles Brownstein for a followup on the Canada case, and the news about the Alaska case broke while we were exchanging e-mails. Here is his answer in full, including an update on fund-raising for the manga case.
It's been a momentous week for the CBLDF. Last Friday we announced our decision to build a coalition to aid an American traveler facing prison time in Canada and registering as a sex offender for traveling with comics on his laptop. On Monday we received news that the U.S. Supreme Court had struck down a California law that would have made violence a new category of unprotected speech by banning the sale and display of violent video games, and that Justice Scalia cited our amicus brief as part of his majority decision. And just today news arrived that we successfully helped knock out an Alaska law that would have placed severe restrictions on internet speech.
Bid on Brandon Graham art, hard-to-find comics to benefit the CBLDF
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is getting some help from one of our favorites, Brandon Graham, who provided them not only a piece of King City original art to auction off, but also seven copies of Escalator, a collection of his early short stories. Each volume carries a CBLDF signature plate that Graham tagged with a custom full-color sketch and signature.
You can find all these items and more — including some sweet signed Amanda Conner prints — on the CBLDF's eBay page.
To do: Strange Tales party tomorrow night in New York
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and The Beat are hosting a party in New York Saturday night featuring a wide array of guests who worked on Marvel's Strange Tales anthologies, with proceeds benefiting the CBLDF. You can find complete details after the jump or in the above flyer by Paul Maybury.
Quotes of the Day | Would you attend a fundraiser with this woman?
"Something about this poster really rubs me the wrong way (and it ain't just the daisy dukes wedgie). People can draw whatever they want and Frank Quietly is a great artist, but honestly this makes me want to avoid that event like the plague."—Lisa Hanawalt
"I think if this flyer wasn't representing a girl cartoonist I would not be annoyed like I am now. I'm just mildly annoyed. Also it made me laugh a lot because the women cartoonists I know are way sexier than that."—Domatille Collardey
The cartoonists behind such books as I Want You and What Had Happened Was… respectively take issue on their Twitter accounts with the promotional art for a rare stateside appearance by Batman and Robin artist Frank Quitely tomorrow night, the proceeds from which will be donated to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Please note that neither person is saying it's the worst thing in the world or that Quitely's some kind of creep, just that it's an odd and off-putting choice of image for the event. I was taken aback by it myself, and I say that as someone who admires Quitely's art generally and his sexy-ish art specifically. Maybe it's the visible underwear, giving me flashbacks to every superhero artist who's drawn some poor woman's thong sticking out of her jeans? Or maybe, as Collardey argues, it has something to do with the fact that the woman in question is, apparently, a cartoonist herself? This also makes me wonder how much our reaction to a given image has to do with who made it. If this had been done by, say, Greg Horn, would I be at all tempted to defend it? Does the quality of the artist's overall body of work, or even of his depictions of women in particular aside from this one image, factor into the equation? Am I using rhetorical questions in order to avoid taking a coherent position?
WonderCon | Frank Quitely's stunning print benefits the CBLDF
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund will be at WonderCon this weekend (booth #323) with a lot of cool stuff that Frank Quitely fans should dig. First up is a stunning print, above, that they'll sell for $20, along with a signed and numbered black and white facsimile edition of the original art that'll cost you a $50 donation. It's limited to just 50 pieces
In addition, they'll have two sets of CBLDF Signature Series postcards. Each set is a $10 donation, with one set featuring Quitely's full-color character designs and the other set featuring some of his figure sketches.
You can see the postcards on the CBLDF website, along with their complete plans for the show this weekend.
Paul Pope shows off process for new "Liberty Tree" print for CBLDF
Although he's constantly at work, every new bit of Paul Pope art that's released is like catnip for a certain section of comic fans — including me.
So it comes with particular delight to not only receive news that the artist is doing a new fine art print for CBLDF, but that he did a process video showing how it was made as well as talking about why he's doing it for CBLDF. Here's the video:
The print is available if you buy a $500 or $1000 membership with the CBLDF. The video was directed and shot by Shahriar Shadab, with music by Sons of the West.
CBLDF issues advisory on border searches and comics
As we noted late last year, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund has been tracking trends in both the United States and abroad that show customs authorities searching and in some cases seizing computers and other electronic devices that had adult comics material stored on them. Today the CBLDF released an advisory prepared by their legal counsel, Robert Corn-Revere, titled "Legal Hazards of Crossing International Borders with Comic Book Art."
"Most people do not know that their constitutional rights are not guaranteed, even from U.S. Customs agents, when they cross international borders," Corn-Revere said. "Their books, papers, laptop computers, and even cell phones are subject to routine search and possible seizure by the government, even without any suspicion of criminal activity. This is important to know in an age when many people carry with them a great deal of highly personal information in electronic form."
The document offers an overview on Immigrations and Customs Enforcement policies and how border searches lack traditional legal protection. It also offers suggestions on avoiding intrusive searches. The CBLDF Advisory is available as a Word document and a PDF file.
Kickstart my art | The charity Transmetropolitan art book
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is using the funding site Kickstarter to raise money to publish a Transmetropolitan art book. Transmetropolitan, for those who may not be familiar with it, was a Vertigo series that starred Spider Jerusalem, a gonzo journalist in a depraved future, who, along with his assistants and a three-eyed cat, battled corrupt politicians, crazy cults and castrated police officers. Written by Warren Ellis and drawn by Darick Robertson, the book was published from 1997 to 2002.
Both creators are participating in the new art book, with Robertson providing a cover and Ellis a foreword. In addition, the book will include artwork by Cliff Chiang, Cully Hamner, Milo Manara, Jeff Lemire, Sam Kieth and many more.
Susan Auġér, the project manager for the art book, and Charles Brownstein, executive director of the CBLDF, were kind enough to answer my questions about the project.
JK: Where did the initial idea to do a benefit book come from?
Susan: A fan approached Darick Robertson's table at Emerald City Comic Con, the best comics convention out there to meet and greet with creators. Darick agreed that it was a good idea, and the plan took shape shortly after that. You could say it was the perfect jumping off point: a book suggested by a fan, populated by many fans, produced for the fans.
Charles: Shortly after Darick appeared to benefit the CBLDF at WonderCon last year, we sparked up a correspondence with Susan, who had been organizing a project involving a variety of great pieces inspired by Darick and Warren's iconic series. She did the legwork to get approval from DC Comics to make this book happen as a benefit for CBLDF, and we're thrilled to be a part of it. There's some great stuff coming through, and we're gonna be thrilled to see it, to spread the word, and to do some good for people in comics with the funds that come from it.
CBLDF notes rise in border authorities seizing devices containing adult comics material
If you're planning on traveling abroad this holiday season, you may want to be wary of what comics you're bringing on your computer, phone or other device. During a call with his fellow Comic Book Legal Defense Fund board members yesterday, writer Neil Gaiman tweeted about a trend the CBLDF has been watching: "On @CBLDF Board of Directors call. Just learning about Customs officers confiscating computers because they didn't like the comics on them."
According to Executive Director Charles Brownstein, both the CBLDF and the American Civil Liberties Union have been tracking the trend.
"The CBLDF legal team has been tracking trends in customs here in the U.S. and abroad that show authorities searching, and,in some cases, seizing the computers, portable devices, storage devices, and other items of travelers who have adult comics material stored on those devices," Brownstein told Comic Book Resources. "The ACLU is tracking similar customs abuses from a privacy point of view. There's a recent incident about which we're not at liberty to discuss specifics involving this trend, where we were asked to provide information and letters of support. Because this is a pending matter, I'm not at liberty to discuss further specifics at this time."
He added that in response, the CBLDF is working on a "best practices" document for comic fans going through customs. "This document will cover what they need to know to help mitigate their risks in this area," Brownstein said. "We plan to issue this document in the first quarter of 2011."
Draw monsters to benefit the CBLDF
The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and ComicsAlliance have teamed up to raise money for the charity with a new art auction/exhibit called The Monsters Project. Right now they're collecting monster-themed artwork, with plans to auction it off on eBay and at the Alternative Press Expo Oct. 16-17. Details on contributing can be found over on ComicsAlliance.
Terry Moore does SiP, Slave Leia-style!
One of the things I love most about conventions is the artists who visit and show off their sketchbooks and draw sketches for people. Even if you don't attend the convention, you can follow artists' blogs and see work they did during the con begin to trickle in. With last week's Baltimore Comic-Con in the rear-view, that's beginning to happen. Take, for example, Terry Moore, who did a phenomenal drawing of the girls from his Strangers in Paradise series dressed up as Slave Leia from Return of the Jedi.
You can view several additional pieces on his blog, including a Red Sonja and a piece he did for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund!
