The New York Times
CARACAS, Venezuela — Just last year, Gen. Romeo Lucas Garcia's quiet death in exile here caught the attention of few people outside Guatemala, where he had presided over a ruthless period of civil war in which 37 people were burned to death during a siege at Spain's embassy. Spain tried to extradite him in 2005 on human-rights charges, but had gotten nowhere.
A tranquil death in a foreign land, at the age of 81: Such a bookend to a life of brutality or corruption was long guaranteed for Latin America's exiled strongmen.
Until now.
The tradition of guaranteed asylum for fallen leaders is, in fact, coming under siege throughout the region, and the surprising extradition of Alberto Fujimori last month to Peru from Chile could be a turning point.
Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Haiti and Venezuela are all discussing ways of bringing former leaders out of exile to face human-rights or corruption charges, and legal experts expect these various efforts to be energized by a ruling by Chile's Supreme Court ordering that Fujimori be sent to a jail cell in Peru to await trial.
The Fujimori ruling dovetails with a brand of legal theory that gained force in the 1990s with a British ruling that put Gen. Augusto Pinochet of Chile under house arrest there pending extradition to Spain. He was visiting Britain, rather than in exile there, having stepped down as dictator with an understanding that he wouldn't be prosecuted in his own country.
But Britain's House of Lords decided he could nevertheless be tried in Spain to face torture charges when Spain sought him.
Pinochet eventually won the right to be returned home to Chile — where, in a new political environment, he lived out his remaining years fighting to stay out of jail. He died in Chile last December, yet last week his family was brought under a legal cloud, accused of living off money he had secreted abroad while in office. Pinochet's widow, children and former associates were released on bail Saturday, two days after their arrest on corruption charges.
Meanwhile, international courts had begun extraditing leaders like Jean Kambanda of Rwanda and Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia to face international tribunals on genocide-related charges; these actions established clear precedents that some atrocities against civilians offended not just the laws of a country, but also international standards of human rights.
Yet these precedents also encouraged governments to insist that their former leaders accused of despotism or thievery be returned for trial, and made other countries reluctant to keep rewarding these disgraced leaders with a comfortable life.
The change in atmosphere is hitting Latin America with particular force, because the right of political asylum for former heads of state in the region was once viewed as sacred.
In practice, it often played out like this: A caudillo, or strongman, amassed such power or abused opponents to such an extent that he was threatened with rebellion or overthrown. At that point, he made his escape abroad.
More often than not, it seemed, the United States intervened, either quietly or publicly.
Its officials would broker a deal that would deliver the ousted ruler with a minimum of upheaval to his country of exile, all in the interest of averting an even worse political crisis and of creating a semblance of economic and social stability. Some countries, like Panama, even specialized in welcoming the autocrats into their midst.
That explains why Raoul Cedras of Haiti and Jorge Serrano Elias of Guatemala, both of whom have successfully fended off extradition requests so far, find themselves living comfortably in Panama.
So does Abdala Bucaram of Ecuador, who has been sought at home on corruption charges.
As in the past, extradition sometimes hews closely to U.S. interests, even in a region where democratic government is now more prevalent than dictatorship.
Panama, for example, is now captivated by the struggle that its former president, Manuel Noriega, is waging to avoid extradition to France from the United States, an option American officials prefer to returning him to his home country.
Other extradition efforts are rooted in the lingering anger over the techniques some governments used to strengthen their grip on power — particularly in Argentina and Chile while the military was in charge, and in Peru when Fujimori led a brutal counterinsurgency fight.
For instance, Maria Estela de Peron, the former Argentine president known as Isabel, is in Spain fending off an extradition request related to the activities of right-wing paramilitary death squads accused of killing at least 1,500 people. Most of those deaths occurred when she was in power, from 1974 to 1976.
She was then overthrown, followed by years of brutal repression under outright military rule.
Institutions in Chile, which also are dealing with the ghosts of repression during the 1970s and 80s, were emboldened by Pinochet's extradition battle, even though he never did go to prison.
Scholars draw a clear connection between that battle and the decision by Chile to extradite Fujimori.
"Fujimori, like Pinochet, was once considered invincible," said Daniel Wilkinson, deputy director for the Americas at Human Rights Watch. "Now the definition of invincibility has been shaken."

Most people are familiar, at least by repute, with Homer's two great epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, but few are aware that other poems survive that were attributed to Homer in ancient times. The Homeric Hymns are now known to be the work of various poets working in the same tradition, probably during the seventh and sixth centuries BC. They honor the Greek gods, and recount some of the most attractive of the Greek myths. Four of them (Hymns 2-5) stand out by reason of their length and quality. The Hymn to Demeter tells what happened when Hades, lord of the dead, abducted Persephone, Demeter's daughter. The Hymn to Apollo describes Apollo's birth and the foundation of his Delphic oracle. In the Hymn to Hermes Apollo's cattle are stolen by a felonious infant--Hermes, the god of thieves. In the Hymn to Aphrodite the goddess of love herself becomes infatuated with a mortal man, the Trojan prince Ankhises.
This volume offers a faithful verse translation of all the hymns, Explanatory Notes, and a Glossary of Names.

Patrick Stewart, left, and Ian McKellen at the Cannes film festival in May 2006 for 'X-Men: The Last Stand' (Jeff Christensen/AP Images)
X-Men colleagues Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart are going to be reunited on stage in Broadway productions of Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot and Harold Pinter's No Man's Land this fall.
The two will also be appearing in the new X-Men movie, X-Men: Days Future Past, but the film won't hit screens until sometime next year.
Before then, Broadway audiences will have a chance to see Sirs Ian and Patrick in masterworks by two of the greatest playwrights of the 20th century.
In 2009, the two actors appeared together in Waiting for Godot in London's West End, with Stewart playing Vladimir and McKellen playing Estragon, in a production that emphasized the play's comedic and vaudeville elements. Here they are dancing a little jig to the famous music hall standard "Underneath the Arches" during a curtain call:
In No Man's Land, Pinter's story of a tense meeting between two mysterious men of letters, Stewart will play the role of Hirst, originally played by Ralph Richardson in 1975, while McKellen will play Spooner, a role originated by John Gielgud.
The rest of the casts of both plays have yet to be announced.
McKellen and Stewart first worked together on stage in the 1977 premiere of Tom Stoppard's Every Good Boy Deserves Favour, but even though the X-Men movies reunited them three times on the screen, they didn't appear together on stage again until 2009 for Godot.
At the time, the two men spoke in a joint interview to the Telegraph about their friendship and overlapping histories.
"We're both from the North of England, separated by the Pennines,* born only 18 months apart," Stewart said, adding that the two found "a little haven" in late night trailer conversations on the X-Men sets.
"We used to sit in your trailer, didn't we?" McKellen recalled jokingly to Stewart. "Often as not, it was bigger than mine."
"Mainly, we would laugh a great deal," said Stewart.
Stewart also said that of all the people he consulted during his decision about whether to take the Jean-Luc Picard role in Star Trek, McKellen was "the only person who advised me not to do it."
"Well there you go," responded McKellen. "How wrong can a fellow be?"
Here's a clip from a British awards ceremony in which Stewart, joined by Roger Rees, a co-star of the London production of Waiting for Godot, presents an award to McKellen:
* An English mountain range that separates Lancashire and the North West from Yorkshire and the North East.

Lamar Odom Signs with Spanish Basketball Teamby Hilton Hater at . Updated at . Comments
Lamar Odom is going away again.
But not to rehab this time... to Spain!
The ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian has signed a two-month contract with a professional basketball team in that country, Laboral Kutxa. It includes an option to be extended for the rest of the season.
Odom played for the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2012-2013 season and was close to a return with that squad in November.
But the baller's personal problems have been well documented over the past several months, with Odom falling back into a life of drugs and infidelity.
He earned the title of THG Celebrity of the Year #4 as a result, but he lost his wife in the process.
Following months of denials and attempts at remaining positive online, Khloe filed for divorce in late 2013.
Other current NBA players who have played for Laboral Kutxa include Goran Dragic, Luis Scola, Jose Calderon and Tiago Splitter.
Well, Spain and Lamar have a lot in common, they are all broke. Man, Lamar will be an idol there in Spain as tall as he is, with all the Spanish midgets running around. Probably do him good to leave the country so he doesnt have to put up with the Kardashians mean crap.
Fortunately Lamar has red something more about Spain than the average newspaper news. Although the country has seen better times, and the taxes have raised over the last 4 years, middle class is still better sustained that the average American. Living in Vitoria-Gasteiz, where Laboral Kutxa Baskonia team was founded, will be better for him than living in Los Angeles. Fresh air and different habits could help him to get out of the vicious and erratic behaviour. If not, at least he won't see any beggars and homeless pushing their trolleys as regulary happens in some L.A. places.

Warren Buffett, chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., said a private conversation with Coca-Cola Co. CEO Muhtar Kent was better than publicly rebuking him over the company's compensation plan.
"We made a very clear statement about the excessiveness of the plan and, at the same time, we in no way went to war with Coca-Cola," Buffett said at Berkshire's annual meeting at the CenturyLink Center in Omaha, Nebraska. "I don't think going to war is a very good idea in most situations."
Buffett abstained from voting against the pay proposal at Coca-Cola's shareholder meeting on April 23, then began criticizing the plan after it passed.
Editor's Note: Secret '250% Calendar' Exposed — Free Video
Buffett, whose company is the largest shareholder in Atlanta-based Coca-Cola, said at the time that his loyalty to the soft-drink maker kept him from voting against the measure.
"The best result for the Coca-Cola Company was achieved by our abstention," Buffett said.
David Winters, an investor in both Coca-Cola and Berkshire, had called on Buffett to oppose the pay plan, saying it violates the billionaire's principles on stock dilution. The measure passed with 83 percent of the votes cast.
"No matter how you slice it or dice it, Buffett reached the same conclusion that we did — the plan is excessive," Winters said this week.
Winters has said that the equity plan, in addition to ones already enacted, could transfer $29.8 billion to the Coca-Cola managers, harming shareholders. Coca-Cola granted long-term equity compensation to about 6,400 employees in 2013.
'Wildly Inaccurate'
"We did not endorse some calculations that were wildly inaccurate and join forces" with Winters, Buffett said.
Coke declined to say what discussions it had with shareholders on the equity plan.
"The company routinely interacts with shareowners both large and small in order to receive feedback on any number of matters, including about the 2014 equity plan," the Atlanta-based company said in a statement. "We do not, however, share specific details of those interactions."
Coca-Cola shares have declined 0.9 percent this year, trailing the 1.8 percent gain of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index.

I have never kegged before but have always been interested. I found a guy selling 2 pin lock kegs on CL for a good deal and contacted him. He sent me a picture of the kegs, but they are different sizes. One is taller and skinnier then the other.
I was under the impression that all pin lock kegs were one size and all ball lock kegs were a different. Since i don't have any kegs or really know too much about it yet, it looks to me that he is selling one ball lock and one pin lock. And I don't know how to tell of the bird eye view.
I attached the images he sent, so if anyone can tell if they are both pin lock or they are 1 and 1, that would be very useful.
Also, how annoying it is to have 1 of each? I hear you want to stick with one or the other, so I'm assuming it is very annoying.
Those both look like Pin Locks to me. Looking at the top view you can see little pins sticking off the post which means the taller one is a converted pin lock.
Usually Coke used the shorter ones, and Pepsi the taller. I have one coke and several Pepsi. They all work the same. And they coexist wonderfully in my kegerator. I would switch out the pin locks for ball locks though.
I was originally thinking of getting more coke ones, because of clearance under the freezer compartment of my kegerator, but have found that both fit. I do think that three coke versions would prevent me from fitting them because of the extra width. But my kegerator is a 1950s fridge, so it's tiny.
I do prefer the Pepsi, because getting the fittings on and off is a little easier. But I wouldn't pass up a good deal on either.
yeah def both pin lock. I have a couple that are different sizes as well. As said above i think it make a difference who was using them(coke vs pepsi)
Pepsi used one lock and the different sized keg, Coke used the other. (I don't recall which had which.) The actual locks can be changed, so while both of those have pin lock fittings, one has been converted. Either system is acceptable but it seems most seem to prefer ball locks. You will have to have the right fittings for one or get extra fittings to be able to use both.
Thanks for all of your help.
When talking about switching from one to another, do people usually mean just the locks or whole kegs?
The short squat keg is a pin lock, and the taller skinnier one is a ball lock keg with pin lock posts (and lid) on it.

Trusting Marijuana Sellers
October 27, 2014 § Leave a comment
This blog is very skeptical of the ability to measure THC accurately enough to tax it. Here is an argument that testing is accurate enough: "Skeptics say it is too difficult to measure THC, but that's not very convincing when High Times magazine offers the same kind of product specs you'd find in an issue of Stereophile or Car and Driver Magazine."
But even claims of horsepower have been found inaccurate. And nobody taxes horsepower. The sampling of bud leaves the door open to manipulation and abuse – by taxpayers or government.
Accuracy for taxation is not the same as accuracy for journalism — or advertising. And if the incentive shifts to make low THC claims profitable, I would not count on taking those low claims to the bank, either. That's where I look to a stated THC tax as an option, as suggested by Beau Kilmer and David Ball, described here at page 541 note 17. Remember what happened to statements of tar and nicotine content on cigarette packs: they are not there any more.
Forbes attacks marijuana taxation
October 25, 2014 § Leave a comment
Lots to argue with in a Forbes article here that attacks marijuana taxation:
1. "It's a basic principle of sound tax policy that the code should not pick winners and losers or disproportionately target certain industries or groups of taxpayers." There's a grain of truth there, but pushed to this extreme, it leads to taxing whiskey like wheat, and marijuana like milk.
2. "Because marijuana can be purchased as a cigarette, an edible, a liquid, or vapor, all with a wide variety of concentrations, a specific excise tax is untenable." That's a complete red herring. No one else suggests taxing weight or potency at the product level. That would be like taxing rum punch like vodka shots. Just as you tax the rum in rum punch, not the punch product, you would tax the marijuana that goes into edibles and so on, not the final product.
3. "There is no reason why the tax code should deny ordinary and necessary business expenses to legitimate businesses established under state law." Well, you might think advertising and marketing of marijuana might be (a) unwelcome on policy grounds and (b) protected under some reading of free speech. Denying deductions for those expenses might be the best you can do. More here.

Rose Habib on the Bud-Trim Line
September 22, 2014 § Leave a comment
Rosemary Habib is the author, along with Reuben Finighan and Steven Davenport, of "Testing for Psychoactive Agents," BOTEC Analysis Corp., http://liq.wa.gov/publications/Marijuana/BOTEC%20reports/1c-Testing-for-Psychoactive-Agents-Final.pdf (Aug. 24, 2013), which seems to me by far the leading analysis of that topic done to date. She graciously agreed to let me print her thoughts about the bud-trim line for a marijuana tax.
My question:
Updating http://newrevenue.org/2014/05/12/can-the-bud-trim-line-hold/: Let's say there's a huge tax on bud and a small tax on trim. Would that give producers an incentive to cheat – to shift bud, at the margin, just a little, into the trim category and then use it to make concentrates?
Might not a tax-evader deliberately characterize bud as trim to boost the THC content – and thus value – of concentrates? That evasion depends on the purchaser believing that he is getting a better, more valuable product — edible, vaporizer cartridge, or whatever. And that belief would need to come from THC labeling (however inaccurate) or some other claim or experience or report.
Rose Habib's response:
My first impression is, yes it could be more economical to move lesser buds over into the trim pile. A lot of that depends on the market. « Read the rest of this entry »

I thought for sure that someone would have publicly spiked Murray Walsh's trashing of Jackie Stewart for writing her good piece condemning Gov. Sean Parnell's efforts to undo the provisions of the Alaska Clear and Equitable Share (ACES) act, to further line the pockets of his oil industry connections. It turns out a good number did, and the sentiment was unanimous, but unfortunately they were all posted online. It's a pity that they were not sent to this more appropriate venue, as Walsh should be not left with the public impression of having had the last word.
I would like to thank the Juneau Empire for all the coverage given the Juneau League of Women Voters during the past year. However, I would like to make one correction in the article on the city budget survey (Dec. 20, 2011, "City to go with telephone survey on budget issues.)"
The column you printed in Monday's paper is fascinating. Who would have thought the hounds baying against "entitlement" would still be standing at the fence, howling at those who feel that if they work hard and pay via taxes into Social Security they are entitled to retire at age 65?
I beg you not to set off your fireworks on New Years.
I live in the valley and have two big dogs, one is elderly but they both fall apart each year when you set off your fireworks on New Years and the 4th of July.
I do give both my dogs sedatives but they do not work 100 percent. Even though my dogs are sedated they still tremble, drool and stumble as they try to get up and find a place to hide from all the noise and this goes on as long as you are setting off your fireworks. It is just gut wrenching to see my pets like this.
Jackie Stewart took Gov. Sean Parnell to task for his efforts to revise Alaska's petroleum tax regime in her My Turn in Friday's Empire. I could forgive her for simply being wrong on the subject and I would have let it pass but for the contemptuous tone and apparent purpose of her missive.
I am a member of the People to People Ambassadors wrapping gifts at the Nugget Mall. I want to thank all the kind people who have stopped by and donated to us. People to People has always been well supported by the Juneau community and we appreciate your support.
You take the high road and I'll take the low road and I'll be in Skaway before ye!
Well, good people while you are humming that old Scottish tune I read in Sunday's Empire that the DOT folks, present and past, are obviously totally obsessed with an improbable and impractical roadway north out of Dodge!
It seems Governor Parnell has also climbed aboard and with the help of DOT Director Yost are moving forward on what both must feel is a critical Southeast infrastructure project?
It was a sad and scary thing for families in Juneau to learn that a childcare provider was shut down on Wednesday after allegations of abuse. Parents rely on their childcare program to provide a safe and nurturing environment where their children can play, grow and learn. We all want for children (in care) to be in a quality childcare situation which focuses on the importance of early learning in the development of children. Unfortunately, there is a distinct lack of childcare options in Juneau. While there are many quality programs in town, they are often full.
I would like to voice my concern over the number of projects (and price tags) that our Assembly will be trying to prioritize for the ballot in October 2012.
I have been told there is some $200 million in "wants" from various groups and entities that are all vying for our 1 percent sales tax revenues to fund their program or project.
I encourage our Assembly that whatever project(s) or program(s) that they ultimately choose to put on our ballot, that they please keep them as separate, standalone items.
Recently we got the good news that our national symbol, the bald eagle, had recovered enough in the Lower 48 to be removed from the endangered species list. Many people were pleased at this information, especially folks that enjoy birding like members of Juneau Audubon. But, as often happens, there was a downside to this good news.

Skyzoo may not be reigning at the top of the Billboard charts, but there's no denying the Brooklyn phenom's made his mark on the game. For proof, simply compare today's music with the styles that were dominant when he started rapping in the mid-2000s. On the latest entry in his Penny Freestyle Series Pt. 2, Sky toys with the idea of hanging up the mic and leaving town on the First Thing Smoking. Here's hoping he doesn't; though his legacy may be secure, the dazzling bars he delivers over Illmind's soul-sampled production (originally featured on 8thW1's Fool's Lullaby) indicate that he's got many years of dope rhymes left in him. Whatever else Sky's future may hold, you can expect another Penny Freestyle next Thursday. As always, we'll keep you supplied with the latest installments in the Booth-approved series.

Words to the wise: The graffiti artist cheering up Dublin
After a decade-long credit bender, Ireland needs all the help it can get with its financial hangover. But can a graffiti artist and a songwriter put a smile back on Dublin's face?
Sunday 28 November 2010
Farewell to Your Stairwell Forever". So reads the side of a tower block in Ballymun, a historically deprived area of north Dublin. It might sound pessimistic, but the chirpiness of the blue and yellow stripes with which the words are emblazoned on the dirty grey wall gives more of a clue to the tone of the message: these flats are due for demolition before the end of the year to make way for a much-needed regeneration programme.
For just over a year, graffiti artist Maser has been applying his retro typefaces and bold colours to politically minded Irish singer-songwriter Damien Dempsey's words on edifices such as this. Their project, entitled "They Are Us", is both inspired by and an attempt to enliven Dublin's streets. It is also a fundraising exercise for The Simon Community, a charity set up to help the homeless.
Both Maser and Dempsey are Dublin-born and bred, and if any doubt existed about their love for their town, it is surely dispelled by their work "I'm a Homebird" in its yellow block capitals. But both also recognise that times are difficult, and agree that reminders of what a great city they live in might ' cheer their fellow Dubliners. "It's really tough over here right now; we're in a bit of a state with the loss of jobs," says Dempsey. "Everything in the news is doom and gloom and we thought some positivity would help. We just thought some colourful street art might lift people."
From "Your Back Streets are My Pride & Joy" – swirled in yellow letters on a pink background – to the more high-minded "Ancient Poetry Echoes in Soft Rain Down the Lanes", Dempsey's lyrics (as he terms them) combined with Maser's appealing visual style make for accessible and popular pieces. "I just thought, what would be good on a wall? What would hit people? What would lift a 16-year-old, who's maybe in a dark place, walking through Dublin? And I wanted to say, this city is yours, be good with it," explains the 35-year-old Dempsey. "It's pretty simple, but poetry can be simple. I think a lot of working-class people who haven't had a lot of education think poetry has to be complicated or has to rhyme – but I'm saying poetry can be just one line, and that it's for anyone."
For Maser, who prefers to keep his real name and age secret, the style of the work chimes with Dublin's history: he took his inspiration for the typefaces and colours from the hand-painted signs and adverts seen around the city between the 1930s and 1960s. "I was partly inspired by Kevin Freeney, a signwriter in Dublin who died in 1983," explains Maser, who after studying at a Dublin design college, became a member of the Society of Typographic Designers. He also garnered inspiration from – what else? – Guinness: his artworks recall those old "Guinness is Good for You" adverts. When the pair did a series of "They Are Us" prints, they even sourced the same old-fashioned, high-quality paper used in the Guinness posters. "I didn't want to go down the graffiti road; I wanted the content to be appropriate to the context," adds Maser. "We both love Dublin, so anything we did had to be appropriate to the city – it was like a homage to Freeney and the history of the place."
The pair met less than a year-and-a-half ago. Maser had grown sick of spiky graffiti and anti-capitalist messages, and had been working on a series of upbeat stencils, stickers and graffiti called "Maser Loves You", with curvy type, cheery messages and splashes of hot pink. A long-term fan of Dempsey's music, he had a plan to combine their talents, and persuaded the singer-songwriter to meet him in the pub. Over a pint or two, they discussed the project. "I'd listened to his music for years, and I was doing a lot of positive messages on the street – and I just had an idea I could join the two together," says Maser. "I said, 'You just give me the words and I'll put them on the wall.'"
While Dempsey's songs have a thread of damning social commentary running through them, there is always an element of hope, too. "Getting through the last recession, in the 1980s, was a bit of a test of your mettle," he says. "A lot of people didn't make it through those years of drugs and social welfare. I write about tough times, but I always had a chink of hope in my songs, and Maser liked that." So much so that he immortalised Dempsey in spray-paint: two weeks after their meeting, Maser put "Damien Dempsey Gives Me Hope" on the side of a Dublin gig venue. "That was my deposit – letting him know I was serious," chuckles Maser.
Over the past year, Dempsey has been texting, emailing or meeting up in person with Maser to hand over his lyrics, ' and up they'd go around the city. Though the works are inevitably transient, being open to the elements (and other tag-happy graffiti artists), Maser aimed for a little more longevity than usual. Most of the locations were privately owned and permission was granted before work began, meaning it wouldn't get whitewashed the next day. While getting permission could prove time-consuming, it also resulted in them getting access to some rather resonant sites. And as more work went up, and began to attain cult status, getting permission became an easier task.
The last remaining Ballymun tower was a particularly important location. "We had to go through the city council; it took two months of preparation – and two days of painting," says Maser. "There was a lot of red tape, health and safety, all that. But [painting] it was such an enjoyable experience. It was a great laugh, and the people there were really nice. Plus, you make this big visual impact on the area – I stepped back to look at it and I was chuffed." The farewell slogan hints at its own imminent destruction – the rest of the blocks of flats have already been pulled down – but the current financial climate might mean the work sticks around longer than expected: it's rumoured that government spending cuts may put a halt to the regeneration programme.
They also had the opportunity to work in St Patrick's Institution for Young Offenders and Mountjoy jail, meeting inmates as well as leaving a lasting message on the walls. "I thought, 'What could I put that could mean something for these people?'" says Dempsey. He opted for "There's Friends I've Yet to Meet". As part of the project, Dempsey played a gig at Mountjoy, while Maser ran spray-painting classes for offenders. He felt that he learnt as much as they did: "Going to the prison was an education; it took away any stigma you might have attached to the place."
While they insist there is an emphasis on positive messages in their work, there is also plenty of anger coming through that polite, neat type. Dempsey speaks with a fear that Ireland is heading back to the bad old days of the 1980s. For him, the country's financial woes are bound up with national history and character.
"People are really feeling ripped off. There's this Irish feeling that we have to own land – it's a deeply ingrained feeling, from having not been able to own land historically. We had that mentality, that we had to buy while we could, and the estate agents and developers took advantage of it. Now people have lost their jobs, they can't make their mortgage payments. We got a lot of money and we didn't know how to handle it, how to be cool with it – we went crazy on credit and spending." In such a pronouncement you can see the genesis of one of the longest, and most hard-hitting, pieces from "They Are Us": the 80-meter long "Greed is the Knife & the Scars Run Deep" running along a wall by the docks.
But Dempsey is also a mouthpiece for the current mood of frustration, the feeling that those who caused the financial crisis are barely feeling the fall-out while ordinary people struggle to make ends meet. When asked which his favourite work is, Dempsey cites the angry "I'd Rather Trust a Dealer on a Badly Lit Street Corner, than a Criminal in a Three Piece Suit". "A lot of the fat cats here, the bankers, have really done a job on us. They're getting away free – it's like there's one law for the rich and another for the rest."
Maser, however, is keen on pointing out that the messages are often funny, too. While there's a gentle humour to the rather cute "Give the Mirror a Kiss the Odd Time", Maser offers quite a different example: "It's All Good", in huge capital letters, on the "peace line" fence which separates Catholic and Protestant areas of Belfast.
However, Maser is keen to distance himself from the Northern Irish tradition of sectarian murals. The divisive political murals, many showing violent historical moments from the Troubles, were often painted on the gable ends of rows of terraced houses – although many have been painted over in more recent years. Maser insists that the political murals and street art are two different disciplines: "It's something that I'm aware of, but it's not applicable [to what I'm doing]. My work is more of a homage to the signwriter tradition, and a social commentary on current affairs."
Plus, as Maser points out, "People can take their own spin on it; that's what most art does, invites interpretation rather than thrusting something down people's throats."
Perhaps as a result of its open-ended nature, "They Are Us" has gathered quite a following – and not just among graffiti enthusiasts or twentysomething hipsters. When they held an exhibition of prints and photographs, Maser was pleased to see all ages coming along – even "grannies bringing kids with them". The success can partly be chalked ' up to Maser's typographical choices, which have a simple appeal and a vintage look that's currently rather in vogue. But it also, of course, speaks to older generations, who fondly remember Freeney's hand-painted signs.
In the spirit of the venture, the duo made sure that the prints were priced at an affordable rate. And by doing so, they have managed to raise more than £40,000 so far – all of which will be going to fund a medical van to help Dublin's homeless population.
"We have a big problem here with homeless people, and the Simon Community is very good to them," Dempsey insists. "Their bodies are in a bad shape, but this can help, providing bandages for wounds or clean needles for heroin users. The Simon Community already has soup kitchens and they give people sleeping bags in the winter – they just help people survive. And they said that what they really needed was a medical van."
Maser and Dempsey were lucky enough to receive some donations when they first embarked on "They Are Us", enabling them to buy all the materials they needed up front,
and allowing all the money from print sales to go directly towards buying the medical van.
It is a fitting cause. Maser was partly inspired to put out his upbeat messages after encounters with the city's homeless people and drug addicts. Spending days on the street – mostly in Dublin's less homogenised, tidied-up spaces – he naturally got chatting to people whose voices are not often heard. It was partly these encounters that turned him off the cynical or negative messages more traditionally associated with street art, and on to his celebration of the city and its people. Addressing dispossessed individuals with words of hope, he turned "Underachievers" into "Urban Achievers".
Today, one wall in Dublin reads: "In a World Full of Shame & Regret Do Something to be Proud of". Maser and Dempsey should probably allow themselves a moment to step back and admire that one – job done.

Award-Winning Teen Filmmaker at Chapel Friday March 30
Kiri Davis, a New York City high school student, is the winner of the Diversity Award sponsored by Third Millennium Foundation. She will be the guest speaker at chapel Friday, March 30 at 10:00 am on the Rockland County campus.
Her award-winning seven-minute film, "Girl Like Me" is an example of how young people can use film as a tool to impact lives in our nation and around the world. In this instance, the film addresses the issue of self-esteem in people of color.
An Urban Academy student, Ms. Davis is a participant in the Reel Works Teen Filmmaking program, which has been featured in the New York Times, The Daily News and on MSNBC, PBS, and NY1 News. Students in this program work one-on-one with professional filmmakers and then are given the opportunity to write, shoot, and edit personal narrative videos on subjects of their choice, while gaining skills in digital filmmaking.
Plan to attend chapel and witness how the powerful statement made by "Girl Like Me" can be the basis of dialogue on campuses, in communities, and in homes as these conversations reinforce the impact of using creative talent for positive results.

RockBand/Harmonix Xfire Chat
Xfire Chat with Harmonix about Rockband As a part of Xfire's music week I was able to attend a live chat with Harmonix, the development company behind games such as Guitar Hero and Amplitude and, of course, their latest project which discussed, Rock Band. Rock Band is a game that is being released for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 consoles. In the game the player will be able to become a singer, guitarist, bassist, or drummer and sing or play the many songs in the game. If that doesn't sound fun enough you can invite your friends over and have a real band. In short, Rock Band is a game where you can live out that rock fantasy that you've always dreamed of. During the 4-chat room interview, Dan T (Senior Designer at Harmonix), Sean (Community Developer at Harmonix), and Naoko (Associate Producer at Harmonix) were answering questions aboutRead more →By vainya in Angel Life No comments yet
GenCon Day One
For the un-initiated, GenCon is quite possibly THE biggest gaming convention in the USA. Gamers gather for four days to attend seminars and workshops, but mostly they come for the games. There's rooms dedicated to all sorts of different games. There's a giant ballroom for Tabletop Games like Settlers of Catan, or Car Wars. There's numerous rooms for TCG (Trading Card Games) or CCG (Collectible Card Games) like Magic: The Gathering or Yu-Gi-Oh. There's rooms and events dedicated to Role-Playing like the True Dungeon or Live Action Role-Playing events. Pretty much anywhere you go in the Indianapolis downtown area during these four days is going to filled with gamers gaming. Or just participating in some sort of gaming related hobby, like painting miniatures. GenCon also has a gigantic exhibitors hall where vendors and game companies alike sell their wares, artists display their work and Convention Guests of Honor have boothsRead more →By Cherith in Angel Life 1 Comment »
First game made specifically for the iPhone
Even though it was stated by many companies that they would not be bringing games to the iPhone by Apple, it appears that there are groups trying to figure out new and innovative games to play using the iPhone's unique features. Lights off was created by Lucas Newman and Adam Betts. The objective is to switch all of the lights out. Tapping a light toggles it and the four adjacent lights. If all the lights go out, you proceed to the next level. Although installing games for the iPhone is not an easy process yet. When I clicked on Installation instructions, it's stated right away that it can be difficult. You have to download the iActivator so you can have access to the filesystem. Then you install SSH so that you can copy the application to the phone. Adam's blog says they built it in three days and won 2ndRead more →

What in your opinion was your first big break? What inspired you to get involved with the Hannah Montana "Music Jam" DS project? As character designer and concept artist for the game did you have any prior experience? What was that experience like and what would be your advice to any artist interested in getting involved with the gaming industry? How much involvement do you have in the gaming industry/community? Do you consider yourself a gamer? Do you play video games if so what kinds? Any future projects you wish to share? Where can we see your work next?

Imagine – Babies! for the DS
I saw this announcement from Ubisoft first at Kotaku, and thought surely it couldn't be true. Unfortunately, for girl gamers everywhere, it is true. Ubisoft has announced their new line of Imagine games for the DS, one of which includes, Babies. According to a senior marketing director at Ubisoft, Helene Juguet, this is just what all young girl gamers want! Now, sure, these Imagine games are meant for young girls – however, it's a pretty big generalization to assume that girls between 6 and 14 have the same interests in gaming. 6 to 14?! You know, that's a pretty large gap between ages. What I liked as a six-year-old was not the same thing I was interested in at 14. And I don't even want to think about what Imagine Babies might be suggesting about Teen Pregnancy…. So, who's bright idea at Ubisoft was this? Let's teach girls how toRead more →By Cherith in Angel Life No comments yet
Apple press conference today: iMac news
Apple held a press conference today where they announced new prices for it's iMac brand. This helps to position it for all the back to school sales that should be happening this month. The new iMacs will have thinner aluminum casings have 20 and 24 inch displays and will cost $1,199 to $1799 depending on configurations. The cost of the 24 inch iMac has dropped by $200. Personally, I recommend the Macbook pro for anyone looking for a laptop, but this might be a great solution for those that like to have a desktop. The other announcement was that Apple is adding a software "button" of the iPhone that allows users to upload photos taken with the built-in camera to .Mac. FollowRead more →
Want to be the Legendary Hero?
Are you the ultimate Zelda fan? Do you have it all? The games, the figures, the cosplay costume, the box set of the cartoon. We'll excuse me Princess; you've got nothing till you have your Wii attachment. A company called Camy International has releases a Wii attachment to capitalize on the popularity of the Wii's Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. This attachment is called the Hero Pack and prices around 20 dollars. The Wii-mote is inserted into the handle of the master sword. (The blade is foam so it's safe to be swinging around) and the nunchuck is inserted into the handle of the Hylian Sheild. This is for the ultimate Zelda fan, but I wonder how events like fishing would work with the attachment. For a complete review of the attachment hit up IGN http://gear.ign.com/articles/810/810918p1.html FollowRead more →By netzach in Angel Life No comments yet

Since 2005, NEXT EVOLUTION MMA ACADEMY formerly known as Kaizen Dojo NYC has been providing instruction in the martial arts and in fitness in the New York, NY area. We hope you enjoy our website and will stop by and visit us if you are in the area. This site is designed to give you information about our facility, our style of martial arts, our staff and provide you with information on how to contact us as well. A Martial Art can be defined as a system of techniques – physical and mental exercises developed as a successful means for self-defense, both armed and unarmed.
Techniques, skills and abilities that are martial in nature but do not benefit the practitioner and their community are generally not considered martial arts. Mutual benefit must be a component. Martial arts utilize a variety of combat methods. Some fighting styles emphasize weaponless techniques while others teach the use of weapons. Some styles focus on grappling while others put their emphasis on striking. Weaponless systems use hand, arm, foot, shin, and knee striking and blocking techniques. Some weapons that may be used are the staff, sword, knife, dagger and nunchaku. Not all forms of self-defense are actually considered to be martial arts. Some argue that unless warriors were using a fighting system in actual combat, it was not truly a martial art. Additionally, there is a difference between martial art and martial sport; the sport application of a combat system is not a martial art. Not all activities designated as martial arts are martial or artistic.
