McQuade Library Mission Statement
McQuade Library fosters the intellectual growth of the Merrimack community of lifelong learners and serves as a valuable center of information resources and customized instruction.
McQuade Library is an evolving center for learning, study and research. Rich in traditional print materials, media, and digital resources, it provides work spaces for groups as well as quiet corners for solitary study. Skilled and dedicated staff members are ready to assist students with anything from a simple article request to a full-scale research project, facilitating use of the broad-ranging collections both physical and virtual.
McQuade Library
The McQuade Library is the academic center of Merrimack College. For most of the day the facility is open to the public. All are welcome to enter the building and use the facilities; however, priority for services will be given to Merrimack community members. During evening and overnight hours access is limited to Merrimack community members: which includes Merrimack students, faculty, staff, and administrators. Guests may be admitted if accompanied by a MackCard holder.
The Library has a number of rooms that may be reserved for classes, events, workshops or other activities. For information pertaining to general building use, contact the Operations Manager, Robert O'Brien, at x5311. Other campus departments that are housed within the library have their own policies related to their services. One should contact those departments for specific information. The Library is open to the public with directional information located in the front lobby area. Operating hours vary depending upon semester, holiday and summer schedules. The main number 978.837.5215 is updated with current operating schedules.
Operating Hours
Operating Hours:
The operating hours of the building follow the college calendar. The goal is to be open at times that accommodate the majority of students.

Linda Madden's students at Anderson County Middle School recently got paid in $2 bills for an economics project.
The students started their own business — a one-night only restaurant — to put some of their classroom knowledge to use.
In this week's Anderson News, some of those students share what they plan on doing with their $2 bills. Pick up a copy on newsstands across the county.

Judge Donna Dutton heard the following cases during Anderson District Court proceedings Nov. 9.
Bland Ballard III, arraignment, operating on a suspended/revoked operator's license, possessing a license when privileges are revoked/suspended -- pleaded guilty, $343, show cause/installment/deferred payment Feb. 15.
Thomas L. Rakestraw, hearing, illegal possession of a legend drug -- defendant to serve out.
Justin K. Boblett, motion, theft by unlawful taking (firearm), theft by unlawful taking, first-degree burglary -- remanded.
Sometimes it's funny how things work out.
Take for instance, the story a few pages over about Biscuit, the dog rescued by Anderson County volunteer firefighters over the weekend.
You see, the fire department hosted the second of two ice rescue training sessions last Friday, and we here at The Anderson News had already planned on covering the training in this week's paper.
I was waiting on Battalion Chief Chris Harrod to drop by our office to identify firefighters in the photos we planned to use, when Mrs. Rosemary Bowling dropped by with a story idea.
Even when things looked bleak, Anderson County were confident Friday night.
Turning the ball over while trailing 56-54 with 1:26 to go in overtime, the Lady Bearcats never doubted that they would pull things out.
Anderson forced a turnover and sank seven of eight free throws in the final 53 seconds to outlast host Shelby County 65-60 for their second consecutive 30th District championship Friday night.
The Road to Rupp is never easy but Anderson County took a triple whammy over the weekend.
Friday, the Bearcats lost to Shelby County in the 30th District final, but that was not devastating. Anderson went to the Sweet 16 as a district runner-up in 1997 and every year, three or four district runners-up from around the state are still playing the final week of the season.
(Longtime Anderson fans might note that the 1971 Anderson team that advanced all the way to the state championship game, was beaten by a district runner-up, Male, in the state final. You can look it up.)
Most guys who don't own trucks almost always make buddies with guys who do.
There's no way around doing so, unless you want to haul a new washing machine home atop the family sedan, or the deer you just harvested in the sedan's trunk.
To a lesser degree and dependent upon their varied interests, there are also guys who seek out buddies with ponds. Being the proud owner of a pickup, I've become the latter and have very well befriended a local guy with a sizable pond in his front yard.
Anderson County exceeded its road paving budget by nearly $100,000 this year, and Magistrate John Wayne Conway is blaming Judge-Executive Steve Cornish for the mistake.
"I guess he wasn't watching what was going on," said Conway, who is seeking to knock Cornish from his seat in the May Democratic primary.
Conway opened what turned into nearly an hour-long debate during the work session that preceded last Tuesday's meeting of the Anderson County Fiscal Court.
The constable who alleges "someone" in the county clerk's office altered his campaign documents is sticking to his story, but did sign an affidavit Friday that clarifies the district in which he intends to run for re-election.
Chuck Imel, who last week questioned how his district number was changed from "2" to "1" on his filing documents, met with County Attorney Bobbi Jo Lewis and County Clerk Jason Denny to sign the document Friday afternoon.
No one is more excited about county firefighters completing ice rescue training last Friday than Biscuit.
Well, the Tennessee Mountain Curr's owners, Rosemary and Kenny Bowling, are pretty excited, too.
See, Biscuit was rescued by three members of the Anderson County Fire Department after falling through the ice at Beaver Lake on Sunday — a mere two days after the latest ice rescue training session.
The Bowlings live in the city, but own property near Beaver Lake. Kenny Bowling took the dog to that property on Sunday to get some exercise.
An investigation is continuing into what caused a minivan to strike a car, careen off Woodford Street and land upside in a swollen creek Monday afternoon near Anderson County Middle School.
No one appeared seriously injured in the accident, but several people were transported to area hospitals, according to officer Sean Wells of the Lawrenceburg Police Department.
Wells said his investigation is ongoing, and the names of those involved could not yet be released.

Gear Review
Some errors in this listing
ARC means bi-color. So, there is no such thing as a "one color" ARC rope. So, when advertising the price of an ARC rope, it does not range from $199.9, since $199.9 is not for an ARC rope. This listing needs to be corrected.
shaun Moyes
ARC means "bi-pattern" not "bi-color". The ARC has a bi-pattern weave to help track the center of the rope. ARC ropes are in fact one color with a pattern that changes at the center point. See above picture that shows the center point pattern change.

Western Arkansas Ballet was founded July 23, 1979 as the Fort Smith Civic Ballet and reorganized in August 1985 under the present logo and code of ethics. Mrs. Nancy Wood founded Western Arkansas Ballet (WAB) under the direct influence of Mrs. Lorraine Cranford, founder of Ballet Arkansas. Mrs. Wood's dream was to have an organization that offered quality dance education, training and performance in a professional yet local venue. WAB was housed in a "one-room" school house until 2004 when the organization moved into a 7,000 square foot three studio, state of the art facilities. Mrs. Wood firmly believed in "giving-back" to the Fort Smith and surrounding communities. There have been numerous projects to benefit our local community over the years and some still continue today.
WAB strives to reach communities in our local area that traditionally would not be exposed to dance as an art form, especially classical ballet. We have a variety of programs to help expose our organization to the Fort Smith Community.
In 2008, we began a program in rural junior high school physical education classes, offering ballet as an arts appreciation class. This class was received well in the Mansfield school district and it is our hope to continue the program and possibly offer to other rural school districts that do not have immediate access to Fort Smith.

What not to learn from Super Bowl commercialsWritten by Tom Richard | | email@example.com
How do you know which Super Bowl commercials are, in fact, super?
Sure, the commercials are funny, but how do you know when funny actually translates into money? As you are watching the Super Bowl and enjoying the commercials, see if you can figure out what the advertiser is trying to accomplish.
Only a few companies deliberately set out to score "brand awareness." The rest focus on making a sale now, or making a sale in the future. Is it possible for a commercial to use humor and still generate actual sales? You be the judge by evaluating this year's Super Bowl commercials.
You will discover many companies expertly using humor, but failing to lay the groundwork for actually making a sale. By looking at the individual components, you'll see how easy it is to wrap everything up into one delicious little Super Bowl advertising burrito.
Start with humor. Humor is a valuable way to delight your audience, to bring them into your advertisement, and to begin to interact with your brand. However, if the audience does not remember your name and is not prompted to "do something," then there is nothing super about the ad.
What are you going to add to your advertisement to "open the sale?" Opening the sale is interrupting and engaging the people that see your ad. Grab them, draw them in, and make them laugh.
After you open the sale and earn the right to ask the person to do something specific, ask for it. There is no value in hinting and hoping.
When you add value to the situation, you earn the right to ask for action. What value are you adding? For example, if you're offering people low-low-low prices on your product, this may be valuable to them if they were already planning on purchasing something.
Unbelievable offers are born when companies are trying to add this value and spark some action. Logically it makes sense. If you make an unbelievable offer, then new customers will beat a path to your door. Right?
Unbelievable offers are unbelievable. When the offer is unbelievable, it kills your chances of making a sale. Change your unbelievable offer into a believable offer and you'll be changing your unsuccessful advertisement into a successful advertisement.
With a believable offer in place, the only thing left is to ask the person to do something. The key here is to make sure that what you're asking for matches what you're giving. If you are giving a person five-cents off a can of peas, and you're expecting them to drive through a foot of snow to your business, then your advertisement is out of kilter.
If you want to increase your advertisement's response, then make it easier for people to respond. If you want to keep your offer believable by offering less, then make it easier for people to respond.
Successful advertising does not require that you give away the store; it requires your offer to match your ask.
How do you come up with these types of ideas, offers and asks? Watch the Super Bowl, stay in a student-mode, and draw your own conclusions from the commercials you see.
Some commercials will have you laughing out loud, but you will not even remember the advertisers name. Some commercials will be boring, but you will understand everything they are offering you.
The only way to figure out what works for you is to evaluate the ads, break them down, and keep the things you thought worked for you as a consumer.
The Super Bowl is the perfect time to study advertisements because it is one of those rare times when you actually stop thinking like a business owner and you start thinking like a consumer. The more capable you are of thinking like a consumer, the easier it will be for you to master your personal advertising.
Post your list of favorite Super Bowl commercials next to Tom's list by going to boltfromtheblue.com and entering the word SUPER in the blueprint box.

It's not right if he's wrong, but he might be wrong if he's right.
It was only a matter of time until it turned to a PC/Console pissing match.
Russian Battlefield fansites battlefieldbc.ru and bf3.com.ua recently held an interview with Russian Battlefield Community Manager Eugene Olenev.
Battlefieldo then took a look over this interview and condensed the information into an easy to read list for you all to enjoy.
- Hitboxes are much improved in comparison with BFBC2.
- Recoil is really tricky and needs getting used to.
- The closed betatest for MoH owners will be held but no word on date yet.
- There will be ingame VOIP.
- There are three slots for weapon customization.
- Character customization will be up but no word on details.
- BF3 will be greatly optimized. DICE is willing to optimize it for all platforms and hardware.
- System specs won`t be "fantastic". They will be reasonable.
- The feeling of BF3 is truly different. It`s not BF2 and not BFBC2.
- BF3 will be highly cybersports-oriented.
- There`s no final decision about commo-rose at DICE.
- There`s closed area at DICE office where people work on unannounced project.
- Battlelog is a web-application for BF3.
Sucka, did you get my PM about Rift - whether you play Guardian or Defiant on Epoch?
it was wasn't it
I'm aware it is 3rd party. It is just for mapping the console controller to a keyboard and mouse. I'm not sure what limitations you are referring to though. Obviously you can't bind commands that do not exist in the game, but other than that, you can bind all the controller buttons to the keyboard and mouse.
The smart translators are supposed to assist with that. The advertising boasts being able to help overcome the console controller limitations. Whether it actually does or not is anyone's guess.

Screenshots:More Battlefield 3 Battlelog details emerge
EA and DICE have released more details on Battlefield 3's Battlelog.
They come fresh from the fingers of Fredrick Loving (kudos on the name), Battlelog producer at DICE.
The 'Battlefeed' will be your main window into Battlelog, showing current events around your network in real-time, explains the Battlelog rundown.
It will give you a live snapshot of what those in your network are doing in the world of Battlefield.
"The feed will encourage people to play even more," adds Loving. "They will see their friends ranking up, receiving awards they don't have yet, or getting the new cool guns they have been missing. It will increase the competitive edge. Everything you do on the battlefield is shared amongst your friends."
You'll be able to see when a friend unlocks a particularly difficult achievement and offer them kudos, the description continues on the Battlefield Blog.
"Another pal just joined a multiplayer Rush match in Operation Métro and is looking for some help - now you know, so you can quickly jump in and give them a hand."
"If someone just nabbed your dog tag in multiplayer, they can shoot you a quick note to say thanks (or, more likely, use those newly anointed bragging rights). It's all here in the real-time feed for you to share, comment and like."
A fully-featured soldier progression section is also included, bringing full stats tracking for every shot fired and every action performed in your Battlefield career.
"Battlefield players love their statistics," says Loving. "Now we will give them everything that they want while adding a social layer on top of that."
that's what helped make BF2 last so danged long, they (DICE/EA and the community) created such a deep stat tracking utility that let everyone form a strong community. not like some games where the community splinters every which way. it was great being able to easily see what your clanmates were doing and where they were. weapon by weapon, vehicle by vehicle, rank by rank and award by award.
not to mention the ranking system was nice and difficult. hell I played 254 hours of BF2 and only made 1st Sergeant and was 60% of the way to Sergeant Major.
my lord. between this and forza 4 im not sure what im going to do with myself in october.
I can't wait for this one..I didn't pick up CoD: Black Ops and probably won't pick up Modern Warfare 3 this year as well. I will be juggling this one and Forza 4.
Just getting ready!
Gonna keep the 5850 I have in there already for video card.
A couple of Alpha vids showing the weapon customizations (only the ones available in Alpha). WARNING: The guy doing these videos may be the most boring person in the world.

Anyone see this?
Battlefield 3 has 'years worth' of unlockables
Battlefield 3 will have enough rewards and unlockables to provide years worth of content, EA has revealed on the Battleblog.
"Battlefield players are among the most loyal out there," wrote Valerian Noghin, one of the persistence designers on Battlefield 3. "Our games are literally played for years by our hardcore fans, and we want to actively support that. There should always be something left to achieve in Battlefield 3."
Battlefield 3 boasts 10 times more hardware unlocks than Bad Company 2, spread over weapons, weapon attachments, and gadgets.
Ribbons will be awarded for skill-based challenges. This might include capturing a set number of bases in a single round, keeping a vehicle in mint condition or reviving fallen comrades.
"There are a large number of ranks in Battlefield 3, similar to Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Your rank badge is a quick measure of your overall progress in the game. And even if you hit the max rank, there is always more glory to strive for with the new concept of Service Stars that we are introducing in Battlefield 3."
"Even getting your first Service Star would be a major achievement. But keep playing, and you will be eligible for even further promotion by getting Service Stars added to your weapon skill badge, your vehicle, your kit, and your overall rank. Anytime your kill card is displayed, everyone will see exactly how experienced you are with your current equipment. The ultimate bragging right would be for a player to be awarded the rank of Colonel with 100 Service Stars attached, and to have 100 stars in all weapons, kits, and vehicles. Getting there will be a massive task – consider that a challenge!"
It's pretty much like BF2. I put over 250hrs of game time in and still was only a 1st sergeant with bursting bomb. Wasn't even close to some ribbons and medals in the game still
Jets, Helicopters Tanks oh my!
1080 full screen this video of game play on Caspian Border map
Holy $#@! just that air combat looks awesome.
this really makes me want to reinstall BF2 for a walk down memory lane... despite all the hackers and crap that will be going on.
That video is epic - Can't wait for some massive vehicle battles!
BTW, I have a new shooter coming out in October for iOS. If you want it, I'll gift it to you when it's available.
Keep up the good work.
Oh, and the above offer stands for anyone on this board with an iOS device (iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad) that wants it.

Already said I'd be in. All for vent. Let's kick some Russian ass.
I would like to be in for the epicness that a shaggy clan would be. I only hope I have enough money to spare once it comes out to get it and my laptop performs adequately.
awesome they are finally reincorporating the SOFLAM and guided missile that was eventually scrapped from BF2. that will be great to be able to paint a target for added lethality with the Hornet or Warthog.
also nice that they will be using the Marines 1Y Venom rather than the blackhawks from BF2. still haven't seen any good video of the 1Whiskey Super Cobra, although it will probably be the same as before. was hoping they'd give us the 1zulu Viper this go round but eh.
super pumped with that list that was provided above.

Reintroduction of Cow's Milk in Milk-Allergic Children
Endocrine, Metabolic & Immune Disorders - Drug Targets
(1): 54-62.

Even though cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is one of the most common food allergies in childhood, its prognosis is generally good and cow's milk (CM) is usually reintroduced in the patient's diet. The natural history of CMPA shows heterogeneity and is closely related to the immunological and clinical phenotype by which CMPA presents. Children with non-IgE-mediated CMPA tend to develop tolerance at an earlier age and at a higher percentage compared to those with IgE-mediated disease. In subjects with severe symptoms CMPA may persist for longer or ever. Although, the majority of children will outgrow their allergy, the individual timing of tolerance acquisition is largely unknown. Most of the current guidelines on the diagnosis and management of CMPA suggest reevaluation of milk- allergic children every 6- 12 months, and reintroduction of CM after a negative Oral Food Challenge (OFC). However, OFC procedure is time consuming, expensive and not without risk. Clinical variables and the measurements of sIgE levels and SPT wheal sizes to crude (whole) CM protein and individual milk protein components may provide some useful prognostic information in the course of CMPA. However, no clear-cut clinical or laboratory criteria exist to predict which children and at what age are more likely to pass a repeat (reintroduction) OFC. The identification of factors that could accurately predict the outcome of reintroduction OFC and the timing of tolerance development would be extremely useful in daily clinical practice. Until recently, reintroduction of CM was commonly attempted when children with CMPA were more likely to have become tolerant. Over the last years, a different approach in the management of milk and egg allergy has emerged with specific oral tolerance induction (SOTI) as a promising method for the treatment of food allergies. Furthermore, a number of studies have shown evidence that introduction of heated milk and egg protein into the diet of allergic patients may induce the acquisition of tolerance. Still, the question of when and how to reintroduce cow's milk in milk-allergic children remains challenging and further research in this important field is necessary to provide both clinicians and anxious parents with the desirable answer.

Elwood, World's Ugliest Dog, Dies
By editor
Originally published on Tue December 3, 2013 7:56 am
Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
We remember this morning, Elwood. He was a good dog. But cute, he was not; tiny, hairless except for a tufty Mohawk, with hooded eyes and a red tongue that stuck out. Six years ago, Elwood shot to fame when he was named the world's ugliest dog. He died on Thanksgiving Day but is immortalized in a popular children's book written by owner Karen Quigley. "Everyone Loves Elwood" is about how it's OK to be different.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Joyce Brabner
|Joyce Brabner
Brabner and Pekar in 1985
March 1, 1952
United States
|Harvey Pekar (1984-2010; his death; 1 child)
Joyce Brabner (born March 1, 1952[1]) is a writer of political comics and a sometime collaborator with her late husband Harvey Pekar. Brabner is also a liberal social activist who raised funds via a Kickstarter campaign for a Harvey Pekar Comics as Art and Literature memorial statue and desk, installed October 2012 at the Cleveland Heights Public Library, where the couple often worked.[2][3]
Brabner recalls "read[ing] comics when I was five or six years old - including "Mad Magazine", her first exposure to political satire.[4] Drifting away from comics as she grew older and discovered that "for the same amount of money I could get on the bus and go down to the library," she nevertheless remembered "a lot of what I'd read."[4]
Living "in Delaware working with people in prison, with kids in trouble," running a non-profit culture-based support program for inmates in the Delaware correctional system, Brabner was a founder and manager of "The Rondo Hatton Center for the Deforming Arts," a small theater space in Wilmington, Delaware. (Hatton played horror roles — The Creeper — in the early 1940s without makeup because he was severely disfigured by a glandular disease.)
During this time, Brabner became friendly with "two sometime artists who were very involved in comic fandom", which "seemed like a lot of fun."[4] Feeling burned out from "working with courts, with sexual abusers of children and so on," Brabner began working with Tom Watkins, who "was doing a lot of costumes for the Phil Seuling comic shows."[4] Moonlighting "as a costumer while continuing to work in the prison programs [she] had organized on [her] own," while not spending much time at conventions or comic shops, she nevertheless eventually became co-owner of a comic book (and theatrical costumes) store herself.[4]
Her store stocked Harvey Pekar's American Splendor, but when the store "ran out of an issue" (one of Brabner's partners selling the last copy of American Splendor #6 without her getting a chance to read it), Brabner sent Pekar a postcard directly, asking for a copy, and the two "began to correspond."[4] Developing a phone relationship, after a stay in the hospital by Brabner, Pekar spoke to her daily and sent her a collection of old records.
Harvey Pekar[edit]
Brabner recalls that she was:
|"flying out to his [Pekar's] part of the country on other business, and decided to visit him, and the next day we decided to get married!"[4]
On their second date, they bought rings, and the third date they tied the knot. With the benefit of hindsight, she believes that it was Pekar's honesty that attracted her to him,[5] crediting his work on "American Splendor [for giving her] a worm's-eye view of what his other marriages were like," allowing for a greater degree of understanding and openness between the two of them.[4] It was Brabner's second marriage and Pekar's third.
As Pekar's third wife, she has appeared as a character in many of his American Splendor stories, as well as helping package and publish the various iterations of the comic.[4] Citing her "talent for publicity," Brabner recalls that American Splendor was losing money and decided (having "stopped working for the prison program") to engage in some "screwball publicity."[4] Utilising her costume-making skills, she
|"started cutting up some of his [Pekar's] old clothes and making little Harvey Pekar dolls; just like the Shroud of Turin, they were made with clothing actually worn by the author, like some holy relic. They were these odd collectibles, and I carried these ugly little dolls around at our first San Diego con together.."[4]
The gimmick worked, and they "picked up nine distributors for the book!"[4] The comic began to be profitable, and one of Brabner's dolls "ended up on 'The David Letterman Show.'"[4] She still makes them occasionally for charity auctions.[4]
In addition to Pekar and American Splendor, Brabner has worked with many of independent comics' highest-profile writers and artists. She edited Eclipse's Real War Stories, which brought Mike W. Barr, Steve Bissette, Brian Bolland, Paul Mavrides, Dean Motter, Denny O'Neil and John Totleben (among others) together on behalf of the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors and Citizen Soldier.
Real War Stories[edit]
Lou Ann Merkle, "an art student and activist living in Cleveland" began working with the Central Committee for Conscientious Objectors, a "military and draft counseling organization" and sought out Pekar for advice on the costs involved in creating a comic.[4] Seeking "a tool to reach teenagers with information about the military" in the face of the peacetime draft and what she saw as an "aggressive recruiting campaign" (aided by the release of Top Gun in 1986).[4] Brabner recalls that Merkle was looking for some "counterpropaganda, a way of presenting some of the things the recruiters weren't telling the kids about the draft," including the stories of "veterans and people from El Salvador."[4]
Although Merkle had only budgeted for a black and white comic, Brabner felt strongly "that color was necessary if they were going to reach the kids," preferably with "popular artists and writers," but "realized with the integrity and honesty the undergrounds had."[4] Brabner, Merkle and the CCCO managed to find a publisher willing to split the costs of printing, were given "some grant funding" and found some creators willing to defer their pay.[4] After publication, the CCCO took on the responsibility of distributing the comic - Real War Stories - including getting copies "into some schools [where] they were used in classrooms".
Legal victory[edit]
This drew the attention of the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice, after an Atlanta, Georgia newspaper objected strongly at the "presence of Real War Stories" at a "high school 'career day'."[4] Pressure from "different people from around the country" caused the school to tell the Atlanta Peace Alliance and the CCCO that "they couldn't [attend the career day], prompting the APA and CCCO to file a suit against the school."
At the hearing, the Department of Defense "offered an expert witness" who labelled the contents of Real War Stories as being "all made up," despite Brabner's assertion that not only were they "all autobiographical stories," but that personally "participated in all the interviews [which]... were all carefully documented."[4] During one courtroom exchange, Brabner recalls that they "had military Naval court records" supporting the truth of some of the autobiographical comics stories, and when the case was continued, the "CCCO got a letter from the Department of Defense essentially withdrawing the complaint."[4]
Brought to Light[edit]
Her writing on Brought to Light with Alan Moore and artist Bill Sienkiewicz[6] brought critical praise from both the artistic and activist communities. Originally a joint publishing venture between Eclipse Comics and Warner Books, the 1989 graphic novel flip-book Brought to Light dealt in part with the Central Intelligence Agency's involvement in the Iran-Contra affair.[4] The impetus behind Brought to Light was the involvement of the Christic Institute ("a public-interest legal firm, best known at that time for its work on the Karen Silkwood case") in a case "involving the bombing of a press conference in Costa Rica."[4] Survivors of the bombing who had investigated "found," says Brabner "it involved much broader issues involving covert operations [and] possible swaps of drugs for arms."[4]
Stymied in initial attempts to bring the matter to court, the initial investigators required an outside organization, bringing in the Christic Institute.[4] "People at Christic had seen Real War Stories #1" and in trying to raise funds to investigate and document facts and allegations surrounding the "very complicated" story, turned to Brabner "and asked if I could communicate this very complex story in comic book form."[4] Faced with "two ways the stories could be told," Brabner remembers she decided to utilize both.[4]
|I decided to tell these stories in two different ways, as a "topsy-turvy" format comic book. A number of people in comics were too afraid to be involved with the project, but Alan Moore had a story in Real War #1 and I knew we could work together, and he took it on. I wrote the other.[4]
Warner Books "was interested in the project from the beginning," thinking that they could be involved from the start in a book on the Iran-Contra affair, which could, says Brabner, have been "as big as Watergate."[4] Caution overtook enthusiasm, however, when "it became clear that this story was a lot bigger than everybody thought it was."[4] Although thoroughly scrutinised - and Brabner says that she "was told at the time by Warner's attorneys that our sources were solid and our book would fly" - she believes that Warner "realized this wasn't going to be the enormous trial, or victory, they thought it would be."[4] Ultimately, Brought to Light was published solely by Eclipse.
Other works[edit]
Brabner, talking in the early 1990s, described the difficulties involved in "publish[ing] non-fiction, public interest comics," which entail "go[ing] outside the world of comic book publishing," and often relying on "grant money."[4] Even with funding in place, however, she described the difficulty in finding "a publisher willing to take on a reprinting of the Martin Luther King comic Al Capp Studios packaged," which was cited as an inspiration by one of the four students who began the February 1960 "non-violent sit-in demonstration" in Greensboro, North Carolina.[4] Brabner refers to this event as particularly highlighting "the historical role of comics in social and political arenas," and (with American Splendor) "play[ing] a vital role in Joyce's decision to build upon her work in prisons and schools, to apply the medium to controversial investigative ventures."[4] Together, and separately, Pekar and Brabner "have [both] tenaciously pursued a path dedicated to the truths of the human condition, contrary to the lurid escapist fantasies that fuel the main engines of the comic book industry."[4]
Indeed, in the Stephen R. Bissette/Stanley Wiater-edited Comic Book Rebels, the editors draw a distinction between Pekar's stories - which are "primarily by himself and about himself" - and Brabner, who "uses her own experiences to frame broader investigative narratives about America, and the impact our social, political, and military institutions have upon not only ourselves, but the world."[4]
She has also written Activists! and the PETA-supported Animal Rights Comics, as well as working on Strip AIDS and a book called Cambodia, USA.[4] In 1994, Pekar and Brabner collaborated with artist Frank Stack on the Harvey Award-winning graphic novel, Our Cancer Year. Our Cancer Year was, according to Brabner planned to be a "book about activism and cancer and being married and buying a house, about being sick at a time when we feel the whole world is sick."[4] It takes the reader through Pekar's struggles with lymphoma, as well as serving as a social commentary on events of that year, and was, says Brabner, written "together from our different points of view, in the different way we experienced Harvey's illness."[4]
She and Harvey have since published work in Jason Rodriguez's "Postcards" series,[7] as well as an anthology (with Pekar, Ed Piskor and others) on "The Beats" [Farrar, Straus and Giroux 2008].[8]
In addition, Brabner's last nonfiction comic book, "Second Avenue Caper: When Goodfellas, Divas, and Dealers Plotted Against the Plague" (illustrated by Mark Zingarelli and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux) was published in 2014 by Hill and Wang.[9] With Pekar, she co-authored and appeared as herself in an opera performed by Real Time Opera in January, 2009. The event was broadcast on the Internet from Oberlin College on January 31, 2009. She helped finish and publish two of Pekar's posthumously published works, "Harvey Pekar's Cleveland" (Zip Comics/Top Shelf 2012) and "Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me," (Farrar, Straus and Giroux July, 2012). Also anticipated are the couple's first autobiographical comic book work together since Our Cancer Year—to-date described as Harvey and Joyce's Big Book of Marriage and "Harvey and Joyce Plumb the Depths of Depression," an authorized biography and new work with Danielle Batone. In 1995, Brabner and Pekar shared a Harvey Award for "Our Cancer Year." In 2011, Brabner was awarded an Inkpot Award in recognition of her work in comics.
In the early 1990s, Brabner and Pekar became guardians of a young girl, Danielle Batone. Danielle became a recurring character in American Splendor, alongside Pekar's diverse cast of family and friends. Brabner was portrayed by actress Hope Davis in the film adaptation of American Splendor (2003), and also appeared as herself in some scenes. Davis' performance was met with critical acclaime, and she was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture. Harvey Pekar died on July 12, 2010.

Below is the poem entitled A Rose without Petals which was written by poet
Otieno. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Isaiah Otieno
Of what color is a rose without petals?
Is it not?
A cloudy window of imagination or reminisces of a moribund love?
Of what scent is a rose without 'wings'?
For in the sweet rich pinkish color, we savored the breath of a life
And in the pulpit, the preacher declared with candor, a conferment of our promise
For what reasons are your secrets so hidden like the anger of a calm sea?
Those little cancerous sores that keep your heart bleeding
When the town sleeps, your sobs drown the tranquil of the night
Of what reasons are your tears so stinging?
Leaving your eyes a shadow of their radiance on the day of our wedding
You have betrayed the innocence of my hands?
That lifted your face of the veil before the priest
And unto those who bore witness to our solemn procession.
Down the aisle
Shall we repeat our vows?
Our love shall endure, all seasons; and for all reasons.
That like flowers of the spring; our faces shall glow in radiance
But your ways, are not the ways of love Vanessa
Am always filled with veneration for you
How do I see beyond your gloom?
Because every new day, your smile dies into its gradual paucity
Painful tears of your eyes wets your bosom with every rising sun,
You set my mind reeling back in time
The earth beneath me, and forth my feet, swim in pirouette
And I shall not stand anymore
Tomorrow, I will leave with the first cock's crow:
I shall leave in the endeavor of my destiny
I shall leave.
I shall leave a rose without petals.

Gov. Bobby Jindal signed three bills into law Monday that will make changes to higher education scholarship eligibility, college testing rules and the Baton Rouge-area community and technical college system.
Under House Bill 343, schools will be prohibited from administering any LEAP tests, or college exams, such as the ACT, to students with disabilities who are not pursuing a regular high school diploma. The student would still have to take the tests if their individual education plan, or IEP, calls for it or if the student's parents choose to "opt in" their child for the testing.
The legislation, one of the most-widely discussed in the halls of the Capitol during the legislative session, had strong support from parents of special education students who called the mandatory testing for unprepared students "tantamount to abuse."

Bard Center for Environmental Policy presents
C2C Fellows and Bard CEP will host a national screening of the documentary film "The Island President" on Wednesday evening, April 17th at 7pm. Director Jon Shenk's The Island President is the story of President Mohamed Nasheed of the Maldives, a man confronting a problem greater than any other world leader has ever faced—the survival of his country and his people. After bringing democracy to the Maldives after thirty years of despotic rule, Nasheed is now faced with an even greater challenge: as one of the most low-lying countries in the world, a rise of three feet in sea level would submerge the 1200 islands of the Maldives enough to make them uninhabitable.
Following the screening at 9:00pm EST we will be joined by the award winning director, Jon Shenk, along with former UN Deputy Permanent Representative to the Maldives, Thilmeeza Hussain, and also Executive Director and Co-Founder of 350.org, May Boeve, to discuss with a national audience the urgency of action on climate change from an international perspective.
Please join us, and more than 100 campuses around the country, in the Olin Hall. All are welcome.

Message by Vice Chancellor
Capability is Gender Neutral! It is always recognized and rewarded sooner or later irrespective of gender. However, the field of science and technology has traditionally witnessed low female participation and the representation of women in engineering industry is around 20% only. There is a huge demand for competent women engineers in our country and therefore Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women has a major role to play in capacity building and imparting high quality technical education to the women of our country. The mandate of this University is to educate women leading towards their enlightenment, employment and empowerment. The University aims to incubate new ideas, encourage innovation and research work in the discipline of Engineering, Science and Technology.
The University offers a number of B.Tech, M.Tech and Ph.D programmes in the area of engineering and technology. The objective of the University is to promote research among young women engineers and to provide knowledge workers to boost the knowledge economy of our country. I am extremely confident that Indira Gandhi Delhi Technical University for Women will continue to scale new heights and serve the society by nurturing budding women engineers.
The students of our University have been placed in many prestigious companies in the last 10 years and continue to excel in higher studies within India and abroad. Through this brochure the University is announcing admission to its various programs in Engineering and Technology and invites application from bright young girls of Delhi and beyond desirous of seeking admission to this newly established University.
