MANAMA, Bahrain: A U.S.-based rights group urged Wednesday for a worldwide ban on sales of tear gas to Bahrain until the Gulf state conducts a full-scale inquiry into allegations of its excessive use against anti-government protesters.
The appeal was part of a wide-ranging report by Physicians for Human Rights into what it called "unprecedented" levels of tear gas use by Bahraini security forces. The kingdom's majority Shiites began an uprising more than 18 months ago seeking greater rights from the ruling Sunni monarchy, which is backed by fellow Gulf Arab states and the West.
More than 50 people have died in the unrest. The report cites claims that some of the fatalities came from protesters hit by tear gas canisters or suffering respiratory complications.
Bahrain's government said it "denies and condemns the use of lethal force or unlawful means in controlling demonstrations."
"Any means that have been exercised by security forces adhere to international standards of riot control," said a statement in response to the rights group report. "Suggestions that the use of tear gas in Bahrain is severely injurious or even lethal is simply not backed up by any research or proof."
Bahraini officials also have promised investigations into allegations of police abuses in the strategic kingdom, which hosts the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet.
The report described the intensity and frequency of Bahrain's tear gas use as "unprecedented in the 100-year history" of non-lethal chemical use in crowd control. It specifically cautions Bahrain against using tear gas "in large quantities and in enclosed spaces" because of elevated health risks and potential for fatal breathing complications.
"Equally unprecedented is the government of Bahrain's transformation of toxic chemical agents into weapons used methodically to attack Shiite civilians inside their homes and cars," the report said, noting that such measures "flout international human rights law and constitute torture, cruel, and inhuman treatment."
In addition to the appeal for a global ban on tear gas sales to Bahrain, the group urged the country to suspend use of its tear gas supplies and open investigations into the claims of excessive and improper tear gas use. The group also called on Bahrain to disclose information about the chemical agents used in its tear gas purchases.

The new Camaro is everything that the public wanted: a retro-look and offered with a choice between two powerful LS engines underhood. But no matter how well the General did it, there is always room for improvement. Camaro Now tackled some basic upgrades that can be done in your driveway and in just one day. The only outsourcing required is an aftermarket tune to compensate for the changes made underhood. We focused on three major upgrades--AIRAID cold-air intake, Dynatech SuperMaxx long-tube headers with high-flow cats, and a custom tune from East Coast Supercharging (ECS). These basic mods are easy to install and pack a powerful punch. Not to get ahead of ourselves, but our test vehicle picked up 64 rear-wheel horsepower and 56 rear-wheel torque over the baseline. The package is a balance of more power, aggressive tone, and ease of installation. The price tag for all of the mods listed on these pages is $2,000 (without tax and shipping)-including dyno time and tuning but minus installation cost.
These power-proven mods were bolted on to John Franco's stock '10 Camaro SS, featuring an LS3 engine and six-speed manual transmission. In stock trim, the car was a bit down on power when compared to other LS3 Camaros on ECS's Dynapack chassis dyno--it produced 340 rear-wheel horsepowerwhp and 345 lb-ft of torque. "That is a little lower than what most six-speed Camaros make on our dyno," says Doug Ring of ECS. He continued, "Typically we see these cars make about 355-360 rwhp." We chalked it up to an extremely hot and humid day and while there is a correction factor on the dyno, our test conditions were very extreme due to our middle of August test date. We did like the fact the 340 rwhp result was repeatable. Ring backed up the baseline two more times; in fact, it was dead-on 340 rwhp for each backup pull. It might be lower than normal, but it's the most repeatable stock car we've ever seen.
ECS handled the installation of the parts in addition to the custom tuning and dyno testing, which will bring the price of the package up higher. ECS technician Tommy Michalkowski knocked out the install process pretty quickly-a testament to the easy-fitting Dynatech headers and true bolt-in Airaid cold-air intake kit. Anyone who has worked on a fourth-gen can attest to the difficulties when trying to slip in a set of long-tube headers. That wasn't the case with the fifth-gen, as GM seems to have thought about the aftermarket's concerns with header tube fitment. There was plenty of room on either side of the engine. Dynatech's instructions mentioned an interference with the hydraulic clutch line, but our test car didn't have any problems, the line didn't even come close to the headers. The Camaro was built as a late '10 model-perhaps there was a running change on the assembly line. The Airaid kit is probably the simplest modification we've ever done as it dropped into place with ease. A lower (160°F) thermostat was installed in the radiator to help cool down the 376ci bullet.
The factory ECM was tuned using EFI Live and Ring made it seem simple. "We've done quite a few new Camaros with similar modifications as well as many supercharged ones. It's nice to deal with the same ECU [ECM] unlike the C5 Vette where there were sometimes as many as five different processors with each one acting differently. The Camaro ECU is consistent and that helps us build a database to draw upon for similarly prepped cars," Ring says. He loaded a base-tune and a road trip ensued. But before we pulled out of the shop, Ring installed an Innovate wideband oxygen sensor and connected his laptop to the ECM. Driveability, fan controls, and other parameters were logged and checked to make sure the Camaro drove properly at part-throttle. The fun on the chassis dyno began when we got back to the shop.

Skipper Jimmy Spithill and defending champion Oracle Team USA overtook Emirates Team New Zealand on the upwind third leg Tuesday to win their astonishing seventh straight race and force a winner-take-all finale in the longest America's Cup ever.
All but defeated a week ago, Oracle Team USA tied the faltering Kiwis 8-8 on the scoreboard by winning its 10th race overall. Oracle was docked two points (wins) for illegally modifying boats in warmup regattas.
If it hadn't been hit with the harshest penalties in the 162-year history of the America's Cup, Oracle Team USA's sailors would be hoisting the silver trophy in victory.
Instead, the epic 19th race is scheduled for today, weather-permitting, on San Francisco Bay.
Either Oracle will finish one of the greatest comebacks in sports history or Team New Zealand, marooned on match point for the last week, will get the elusive win it needs to claim the Auld Mug for the second time in 18 years.
Oracle, which trailed 8-1 last Wednesday, came from behind and passed the Kiwis after they tacked too early and slowed while zigzagging toward the Golden Gate Bridge. The American-backed boat — with only one American on its 11-man crew — sped past and built its lead to more than 1,000 yards on the windward fourth leg going past Alcatraz Island.
The final margin was 54 seconds.
Earlier, Oracle forced Emirates Team New Zealand into two penalties during the wild start of Race 17 and won by 27 seconds.
College football
Penn State will gradually get back football scholarships taken away over the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal, the NCAA announced, crediting the university for making significant improvements to its athletics programs. Five scholarships will be restored next year and 15 more will be phased in until the school reaches the limit of 85 in 2016-17, a season earlier than the school had agreed to, college sports' governing body said. The NCAA said the unanimous decision by its executive committee was based on the recommendation of former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, who has been serving as Penn State's athletics integrity monitor.
• Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said starting receiver Martavis Bryant will have his playing time reduced against Wake Forest for making unacceptable throat-slashing gestures following a touchdown catch against North Carolina State last week.
Carlsbad's Corey Weworski reached the quarterfinals of the U.S. Women's Senior Amateur with two match-play victories at Corde Valle in San Martin. Michelle Burgess of Rancho Santa Fe was beaten in the third round. In the U.S. Senior Amateur in Cashiers, N.C., Rancho Santa Fe's Pat Duncan lost in 19 holes in the second round after winning his first match in 19 holes.
Kasey Kahne said he was frustrated that he'd blown his championship chances with a "hardheaded mistake" at New Hampshire, and it boiled over into a brief televised interview that left viewers speculating about his health. Kahne said there was nothing physically wrong with him following his accident Sunday.

Nope, this is not a clothing/fashion wishlist (at the moment). I was browsing through Urban Outfitters and I fell in love with a couple of stuff (Ok, a lot. Haha). I then decided to sort of list them down for future reference of course (haha).
I basically love (love, love, love) color and certain prints thus anything that fall in said categories tend to catch my eye.
Such pretty, pretty colors! All this color is cheering me up Yup, I'd love to get all of them and make a house where I can place all of them in. Uhm, I'll live there too. Haha.
Which ones do you like?
P.S. Back in college, I thoroughly enjoyed the design subjects that focus on color. Err, I loved all of my subjects then. I guess I'm a design nerd *insert nerd smiley here*

Cuban: Mavs better off without Deron Williams
AUG 21, 2012 2:41p ET
Williams eventually chose to remain with the Brooklyn Nets and the Mavs were left scrambling. Well, not according to Cuban.
The Mavericks owner said Tuesday that the team is actually better off with Williams not on the roster.
"In hindsight, I don't know if I would have been happy," Cuban, a guest on the Ben and Skin Show on 103.3 [KESN-FM], said of the possibility of inking Williams to a long-term, maximum contract. "I think we're in better position now then we would've been if we'd gotten him."
Wait. What?
"I don't want to pick on Deron Williams because he's a great, great, great, great player, so it's not necessarily him per se," Cuban said. "Obviously the decision was to go for him. But the conversation was, 'OK, once you take $17.1 million in salary to what we have with Dirk and [ Shawn Marion], then what do you do?' That's your squad. And it's not just your squad for this year, it's your squad for next year, other than the $3.3 million mini mid-level [exception].
"So, that was a challenge that we had because we want to win. Everybody talks about Dirk's window, but not only would it have been difficult to add players, it also would have been difficult to trade players. In reality, that was the same problem that Deron had. Because he looked and saw the same thing and said, 'Now what are you going to do?'"
In regards to not attending the final face-to-face July meeting with Williams, Cuban said: "Obviously, I had a conflict, but I was texting him. I was texting him. We were going back and forth quite a bit."
Could Cuban have made a difference had he attended the meeting?
"Maybe," he responded. "You know, because I always think I can close the sale."

Watch as author George Maestri employs the basic principles of animation to bring to life simple 3D characters in Maya. Starting with an overview of the character rig, this course provides guidelines for arranging stock characters into strong poses and explains how to generate locomotion between poses in a modular fashion. The course includes step-by-step instructions on animating realistic gestures, walks, runs, facial expressions, and dialogue, and culminates with an animated scene built entirely from scratch.
Prerequisite courses: Maya 2011 Essential Training.
At this point we have the character on the platform and moving. Obviously, there's nothing happening other than the platform and the character moving. Now the character is going to be affected by the motion of the platform. He is also going to be affected by gravity so let's go ahead and work on those forces. So the first thing we have is we have two forces. We have gravity, which is pulling this character down, and then we have the actual motion of the platform which is actually moving him right at the feet.
Now when we have this forward motion we have what's called drag, which is basically the main mass of the character, is right up here. That will not want to move. Go back to the laws of motion. Abody at rest will want to stay at rest. So that part of him will want to hang back. It doesn't want to move forward. So as this moves forward, from an animation perspective it will appear as though a force is pushing him in the chest.
When in reality it really is just the body itself wants to stay where it's at. So we can animate this by doing some keyframing. The first thing I want to do is go ahead and just drop those arms to his side. Just want to give him a little bit more of a relaxed pose. We will play with the arms and the rest of the body a little bit later, but I just want to start with the center of mass of the character which is centered around the hips. Now when we pose characters we typically pose starting with the hips and when we are working with these sorts of force problems we also a lot of times will start with the hips.
So I am going to go ahead and set a keyframe here at frame 1. Now I am going to move forward a little bit, maybe a couple frames, maybe three or four frames. Let's go to frame 5 and let's give the impression that that body wants to stay in place, so I am going to go ahead and rotate it back a little bit and move it back. So right there I want to basically drag him back. And you can see even right now it feels like he's got a little bit of force acting upon him.
It's starting to understand the flexibility of this character. But he is not going to stay back the whole time because this is moving at a pretty constant rate, so again he will tend to straighten up. So I am going to go back to frame 1 and copy that keyframe and then we're going to go to forward say about 10 frames or so, to frame 15, and I am just going to paste that keyframe. So now he goes backwards and now he kind of straightens up.
And then at frame 25, where he starts to move back, I want to straighten him up again. And then we can do with the opposite. We can go another couple of frames in, say about five frames again, and this time his body wants to keep going in that direction. So I am going to move him forward and then also rotate that a bit and make sure that his heels are not off the ground there. And again at frame 40, I want to go ahead and copy this and just straighten him up again and then go back to the very beginning and let's make sure that we've got a keyframe there.
So now what we've got is he's going backwards and forwards. So you can see that even right now we've got a much better sense of motion for the character. We've got a sense of force acting upon his body. Now one thing I'm noticing here is that we have a little bit of a bounce in the animation. Sometimes you have to be real careful in looking at these and you can kind of catch it, but notice how that as he comes past here he actually overshoots this a little bit. So right here he feels like he is a little bit far-forward and then he comes back a little bit.
It looks almost like he is kind of more of a spring. He has kind of got this kind of back and forth motion. Now this may actually be a problem that we can diagnose in the Graph Editor. So I am going to go into Window > Animation Editors > Graph Editor,and let's take a look at this. So I am going to go ahead and select his hips and let's take a look at the rotation curves for the hips. Specifically I'm rotating him along the X axis, so I am rotating him back and forth. So if I select the Rotate X curve immediately, let me go ahead and frame this by hitting F. Now what we have is he starts at 0, he goes down a little bit, he comes back up and the next keyframe is at 0, as is this frame and this frame.
But what I've got is I've got this curve it is kind of overshooting right here and then it undershoots, and that's what's giving me that kind of wobble in his motion. In fact, let me go ahead and highlight this and you can see how the wobble and the curve kind of match up. Now that we can see what the problem is it's very easy to fix it. One way would be to just to select these curves and unwind them, but the easier way is to select all the keys that are 0 and then all we have to do is hit what are called Plateau tangents.
What that does is that make sure that all of those are 0. So particularly here where it goes from a 0 to a 0, you want to make sure that these two sections are flat. Now once we've done that, you can play it back and now we have a very smooth motion. So this really is just the motion of the platform affecting the character. This is one of several forces that we are going to deal with. So let's go ahead and refine this a little more in the next lesson.

Joining the TTU brass professors will be Rick Woods, Director of Cookeville Leisure Services. Woods will narrate the program, which features brass band music from 1850 to 1880.
The concert features a variety of popular music from the mid-19th century including marches, patriotic works, waltzes and polkas written for brass bands when they were an important part of the American musical scene.
Solos for cornet and baritone along with songs by the famous American composer Stephen Foster will be performed.
Original photographs taken more than 150 years ago of musicians, American society, and bands from the Civil War era will add to the concert experience.
Brass quintet coordinator Charles Decker said, "We are excited to present a multimedia concert of popular songs and dance music as played by brass bands in the mid-19th century. The combination of narration, original photographs from the era, and the actual sounds [people of that period] heard will make it a memorable evening for all who enjoy stepping back in time to relive the American experience."
The Brass Arts Quintet has appeared on concert specials broadcast nationally on public television stations.
Members are TTU brass faculty Charles Decker and Chris McCormick, trumpets, Greg Danner, horn, Joshua Hauser, trombone, and R. Winston Morris, tuba.

Feedback is too harsh on the
It is substantially easier to remember than the usual "deflection is to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the south" rule that is normally applied to rote learning of the effects of Coriolis force. With a little thought, it also shows why hurricanes remain confined to their own half of the globe, and disposes of the usual arguments about whirlpools in two adjacent bathtubs on opposite sides of the equator. Thanks to Feedback I can now add this to my armoury when teaching rotational dynamics to second-year physicists.

Landeros Recognized Among Top Non-Traditional Students
Saturday, March 23, 2013
The first time didn't work out for Elizabeth Landeros. But she never gave up.
After graduating from Harlingen South in 2001, Landeros enrolled at Texas State Technical College and was intrigued by the Chemical Environmental Technology (CET) Program at the college. But financial reasons kept Landeros from pursuing a degree in her desired field of study at the time. So she left TSTC to work.
In 2011, Landeros enrolled at TSTC and in the CET program once again. Now Landeros will graduate in the Fall of 2013 and she has done well for herself in the past couple of years.
So well that on Wednesday Landeros will be presented with the Inspirational Award, which is given annually to a top student enrolled in a non-traditional program of study during National Women's History Month. A non-traditional student is one that is enrolled in a program of study that is dominated by the opposite sex.
Landeros was chosen based on her participation in the Support Services Office and is being recognized for her accomplishments in leadership, citizenship and kindness. Support Services recognizes a student who's been active within the program and is considered a model student and a role model to their peers and the community.
"It's always nice to get recognized," Landeros said. "Working with Support Services has really allowed me to meet a lot of great people and help others along the way. This is very important to me."
Landeros has been a Non-Traditional Ambassador for the CET program since Summer 2012. Landeros and another CET student, Trinity Crabb, were very active in collecting gifts during the Toys for Tots 2012 campaign on campus. Landeros has also participated in Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities like the Clothesline Project and Candlelight Vigil.
Landeros said her options are vast upon graduating and looks forward to a career in chemical and environmental technology. Landeros expects to graduate in the fall and join the workforce immediately.
"On the chemical side, you can go into the petrochemical field and work as a lab technician or under an engineer in the field," Landeros said. "On the environmental side, you could go work for government agencies like the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) or do other contract work."

Muscle Mustangs & Fast FordsFeatured Vehicles
1988 Ford Mustang LX Coupe - Tropical Storm
After 21 Years, Lidio Iacobelli Still Uses His Tropical Yellow Coupe To Remain A Pioneer In The Mustang Performance World.
With the heads bolted on, this 392-inch mill produced a boost-friendly 8.6:1 compression ratio. A Vortech T-trim supercharger force-fed air into the bullet through an Edelbrock Victor EFI intake manifold and a 90mm throttle body. The AOD was swapped for an AOD-E, and a Bauman Box was installed to control the shifts. Once the build was finished and the tune was set, Lidio's Tropical Yellow coupe spun the rollers to a massive 650 rwhp. Three years later, Lidio decided to make a few new changes to his Fox. The addition of 18-inch TSW wheels and smoked headlights added some excitement, and 13-inch Cobra brakes now enable quicker stops.
In late 2006, Lidio was looking for a new twist, so he traded the Vortech for a turbo. The stroker mill and AOD-E were left alone, but a single 80mm turbo from Precision Turbo was installed, and Diamond Fabrication was enlisted to mount and plumb the turbo and intercooler.
After the Stang was completed in the fall of 2008, Lidio strapped it to the rollers once again, and with the turbo pumping out 18 pounds of boost, the end result was an astounding 843 rwhp. Being that Lidio is no dyno hero, a track test was needed to prove the LX's worth. And as expected, the big power translated into low 9-second quarter-mile times-even on the 18-inch wheels and tires. With addition of slicks and skinnies, 8.60s shouldn't be out of the question.
Even with this much horsepower on tap, and single-digit e.t.'s so easily available, this coupe is no race car-few, if any, of Lidio's rides ever have been. A lot of the early EFI Mustang performance shops ended up turning their street cars into full-tilt drag cars to prove that they could be the best. Lidio Iacobelli and Alternative Auto Performance avoided the storm that is quarter-mile competition. Instead they spent the last 21 years turning this Tropical Yellow coupe-and many other late-model Stangs-into some of the fastest, cleanest Mustangs around.

A little while ago we froze a packet of those pancake-like products that in these parts we call crumpets. At the time, the sealed plastic packet seemed to contain a lot of air, but after four months in our freezer it had contracted tightly against the crumpets, which had also shrunk. After two more months at room temperature, the whole package appeared to have shrunk still further, though with no sign of mould or decay. The ingredients are listed as flour, water, yeast, raising agents, E450, E500, salt, sugar, preservative, calcium propionate. What's going on?
Our thanks to Warburtons, the company that made these crumpets, for the following - Ed
• Warburtons crumpets are a short shelf-life, high-moisture product and as such, are particularly susceptible to food spoilage organisms. The product is packaged in a carbon dioxide environment to extend the shelf life and to protect the crumpets against microbial ...

Sweet Satsumas
With a zesty aroma and tangy sweetness, Satsumas are one of the best gifts winter has to offer. Packed with heart-healthy vitamin C, folate and potassium, they help boost immunity during cold-and-flu season. A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study also found California Satsumas contain a high amount of synephrine, a natural antihistamine that relieves cold and allergy symptoms.
But who needs an excuse to eat something so lovely? Find them in our produce department until mid-January.
Meet our grower
Johansen Ranch
Our Satsumas are grown by Rich Johansen in Orland, Calif., who has supplied PCC with these organic, tree-ripened gems for the past two decades. Surrounded by mountains — the Sierras to the east, the coastal range to the west — the Johansen Ranch has been in operation for a century, beginning in 1910.
In 1960, they planted 2,000 Owari Satsuma Mandarin trees, and initially had a difficult time selling the unfamiliar fruit. But after customers realized their kids would eat not one, but three to four of these easy-to-peel treats, the market took off.
In addition to Satsumas, the Johansens grow Clementine Mandarins, Washington Navels, Blood oranges, Meyer lemons and olives. Yet Satsumas remain Rich's favorite, for their complex flavor, sweet fragrance and health benefits. Read more »
From great relationships, great quality
PCC maintains close relationships with local and regional farmers to provide the best-tasting, freshest produce possible. More than 93 percent of produce sold by PCC is certified organic fruits and vegetables, grown without artificial pesticides or fertilizers. When organic varieties are not available or out of season, we offer high quality, non-organic produce. Learn more about the benefits of organics »

As long as you bring up KDE, I have a couple of questions. I've been using
KDE for a day now, and I can't figure out a few things:
1. I want a desktop icon similar to "My Computer" that has shortcuts to
various filesystems like /usr/local, /home, /C, /D, etc. How can I
generate such a thing?
2. How do I change the font displayed underneath icons? The standard KDE
font, aside from not being my cup of tea, is too big for my liking.
3. How do I get "sloppy focus"? Sloppy focus is like Unix focus: when the
cursor goes over a window, the window gains focus.
However, in Unix focus, when the cursor leaves the window (without
hovering over another window), the window loses focus. In sloppy focus,
when the cursor leaves the window (without hovering over a new window)
the window *remains* focused.
This allows me to keep a window's focus *and* click on the desktop.
4. I hate to ask this, maybe embarrased is a better word, but is it possible
to use MS Windows 95 icons in KDE? The default KDE icons are too fancy.
I want something less ornate. Less busy. I really loved the icons (and
widgets) that came with MS Windows 95. Is it possible to use those icons
in KDE?
5. Is it possible to configure artsd to become a client of esd (the
Enlightenment Sound Daemon) rather than trying to grab /dev/dsp directly?
Better yet, is it possible to tell KDE applications to use esd instead
of artsd?

The past year on the University of Illinois Urbana Champaign campus has been full of art activist projects. As an MFA candidate in New Media who is interested in work that exists in the world of art and the world of social change ,simultaneously, I have been particularly excited about this. I intend to use my HASTAC blog platform to highlight both past and current art and activist projects that have touched the UIUC campus in one way or another.
First up, Oakland based artist Favianna Rodriguez and the artist collective she belongs to, Just Seeds. Rodriguez visited the UIUC campus last semester to talk about her multi-media practice that draws its inspiration from social justice issues. (Read her blog about her visit here.) The campus group Iresist, which organizes around issues affecting people of color on the UIUC campus, brought her out from California. Rodriguez meet with students at Allen Hall, where she did workshops on several differen print techniques. At the YMCA, she discussed her colorful screen printed posters on topics including gentrification, globalization, race and gender to a large audience.
Rodriguez has recently co-edited a book with one of the Just Seeds founders, Josh MacPhee, called Reproduce and Revolt. The book is particularly interesting for its democratic approach to copyright. Rodriguez and MacPhee worked with their network of contacts to collect and organize black and white images around topics including sexual identity, health care, and the environment. The images can be scanned and used freely as stencils, posters, t-shirts, etc. in support of the activist causes they reflect. The bilingual book, presents a powerful take on sharing and disctibuting intellectual property for the greater good and enrichment of the larger community. The authors concede that this is a tradition in print graphics culture, to share images and ideas from one print shop to another. I am interested in how this traditional print media model can be shared and expanded in digital culture. Favianna concluded her visit the UIUC campus with a screen printing workshop using images from the book.
Rodriguez and the rest of Just Seeds work both on and offline to build a creative culture of support in art activist communities. For them digital media, and the potential it affords for networking, sharing and distributing ideas, is a powerful tool. Just Seeds began as a distribution mechanism and organizing structure for artist, Josh Macphee in 1998. Just Seeds emerged as the artist run cooperative and blog in 2007, when MacPhee already extending his collaborative arts based initiatives, formalized connections with several other artist activists around the United States, as well as the New York based collective, Visual Resistance. Just Seeds combined with the preexisting Visual Resistance online presence, which at that time reflected mainly the concerns of those developing creative responses to social justice issues in New York City. MacPhee and Visual Resistance combined their separate online presences to create a virtual destination point for merchandise and commentary produced by collective members on issues ranging from street art, queer identity, war, and activist history. I would like to conclude this report by discussing the Just Seeds blog.
I am particularly interested in how the collective maintains and manages their online presence, at this point a store and a blog, and how it adds to the production and distribution of their political graphics. Much like Just Seeds, the HASTAC community is a group blogging situation with contributors in multiple locations. Just Seeds members are expected to contribute to the blog at least once a month. With 25 members posting at this rate, the blog quickly became a resource for exhibition announcements, crtiques on contemporary political art, installations, murals, and book reviews. Just Seeds does not restrict the content which makes for diverse postings on topics from interviews with participants in people's movements to labor in the digital economy. Current Just Seeds collective member and former Visual Resistance member, Kevin Caplicki, describes the blog as a tool for the group to build collective identity, a necessity for maintaining a sense of community in this decentralized group. Caplicki asserts that it would be very hard to facilitate the cooperative without the use of technology. The cooperative communicates through conference calls, email, and Crabgrass, a free software provided by riseup.net team, "designed for social networking, group collaboration and network organizing." Networked technology provides the cooperative with support for the business but also for their art practice allowing them to post in process art works for group critique.
Despite, all of the amazing ways that technology has supported and extended the reach of collaboration in this example, the group still meets face to face for yearly organizing retreats, with smaller regional meetings. Caplicki says, "There are small collections of members in various cities with each of them taking on different tasks necessary to run the cooperative business. It is also very common that we travel between our respective locations, and have impromptu meetings and skill shares on newer techniques." Caplicki concludes that the combination of digital media, technology, and face to face meetings has allowed the group to grow and spread ideas about art, activism, and creative social movement building throughout wider audiences including our campus on the prairie.
