The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) is a civil rights organization headquarted in Montgomery, Alabama. It was founded by Morris Dees and Joe Levin, two local lawyers "who shared a commitment to racial equality" in 1971. The Center's first president was civil rights activist Julian Bond.[1]
According to its website, SPLC is "dedicated to fighting hate and bigotry" and seeking justice for "the most vulnerable members of our society." SPLC uses litigation, education and other forms of advocacy.[2]

The Intelligence Report
According to SPLC:
"The Southern Poverty Law Center monitors hate groups and racial extremists throughout the United States and exposes their activities to law enforcement agencies, the media and the public. We publish our investigative findings online and in the Intelligence Report, our award-winning quarterly journal. We've crippled some of the country's most notorious hate groups by suing them for murders and other violent acts committed by their members.[3]
SPLC's Teaching Tolerance is a public school outreach program that teaches diversity through educational materials and teacher seminars. [4]
Aryan Nation
In 1998, a mother and son were beaten and shot at after their car had backfired outside of the compound outside of the Aryan Nations compound in Idaho. The SPLC filed a lawsuit against the group and its founder, Richard Butler, in an attempt to bankrupt them.[5]
In 2000, a jury ruled that Mr. Butler and the Aryan Nations were guilty of gross negligence and awarded the Keenan family $6.3 million. Richard Butler was forced to give up his 20-acre compound to the Keenans, who then sold the property to a local philantropist. Currently the former compound now serves as a museum for civil rights. [6], [7]
According to an October of 2008 article in Counterpunch, founder and Chief Counsel Morris Dees' fund raising letters have been "scaring dollars out of the pockets of trembling liberals, aghast at his lurid depictions of hate-sodden America, in dire need of legal confrontation by the SPLC", since 1971. [8] According to a November of 2000 article in Harpers Magazine by Ken Silverstein:
"The Klu Klux Klan, the SPLC's most lucrative nemesis, has shrunk from 4 million members in the 1920s to an estimated 2,000 today, as many as 10 percent of whom are thought to be FBI informants. But news of a declining Klan does not make for inclining donations to Morris Dees and Co., which is why the SPLC honors nearly every nationally covered "hate crime" with direct-mail alarms full of nightmarish invocations of "armed Klan paramilitary forces" and "violent neo-Nazi extremists," and why Dees does legal battle almost exclusively with mediagenic villains-like Idaho's arch-Aryan Richard Butler-eager to show off their swastikas for the news cameras.
In 1987, Dees won a $7 million judgment against the United Klans of America on behalf of Beulah Mae Donald, whose son was lynched by two Klansmen. The UKA's total assets amounted to a warehouse whose sale netted Mrs. Donald $51,875. According to a groundbreaking series of newspaper stories in the Montgomery Advertiser, the SPLC, meanwhile, made $9 million from fund-raising solicitations featuring the case, including one containing a photo of Michael Donald's corpse."
Expanding definition of "hate"
According to the SPLC, the numbers of "known hate groups operating across the country" are growing:
"Currently, there are 926 known hate groups operating across the country, including neo-Nazis, Klansmen, white nationalists, neo-Confederates, racist skinheads, black separatists, border vigilantes and others. ..And their numbers are growing." [10]
Some have alleged these numbers are growing because the SPLC has expanded their definition of "hate." Carol M. Swain is a Professor of Political Science and Professor of Law at Vanderbilt University, wrote on the Huffington Post in 2009 that "I have been highly critical of the organization in recent months because of its penchant for going after conservative individuals and groups who have exercised their First Amendment Rights to speak out on issues like illegal immigration." The SPLC included her in their weekly HateWatch after she recommended a documentary for classroom use. Swain replied:
"They seem to conflate my endorsement of A Conversation about Race with a comprehensive endorsement of [filmmaker Craig Bodeker], and his newly exposed familiarity with racist thought. The SPLC needs to rethink its mission and the impact that its attacks can have on individuals who are limited in the means available to defend themselves. An organization with the rich history of the Southern Poverty Law Center should be above ad hominem attacks, guilt-by-association smears, and the never ending search for red herrings." [11]
anti-Zionism or anti-Semitism?
A Fall of 2007 SPLC Intelligence Report featured an article entitled "Navy Extremist Disciplined--But Not for Extremism", focusing on Navy officer John Sharp, Jr. According to the article, evidence for Sharpe's anti-Semitism included:
"...connections to Arab extremists that were ignored. On his website, for example, is an interview with Ibrahim Ebeid, a Baathist and supporter of Saddam Hussein. Ebeid says in the interview that 'neo-cons and Zionists' are responsible for a 'vicious criminal war' against Iraq and Palestine."
According to Felice Pace in an open letter to the SPLC in Counterpunch:
"This is the evidence that you have used to determine that Ebeid is an "extremist"? If so, I too am an extremist and so are many American Progressives! ...Zionism is rejected by a growing number of American Jews and by many Israelis. In this regard I would refer you to the book "The Tragedy of Zionism--How its Revolutionary Past Haunts Israeli Democracy" by Israeli author Bernard Avishai.
It is of the highest importance that the Southern Poverty Law Center and its leaders clarify their positions on Zionism and specifically whether you equate anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. Since you have not-to-subtly suggested this connection in your magazine, I believe this clarification should also be published in the magazine. Perhaps you should also consider opening a dialogue with those of us in the Progressive Community who are anti-Zionist. At minimum the article you published indicates a lack of clarity at the Center about whether opposition to Zionism alone makes one an "extremist" and/or 'anti-Semitic'."[12]
Further context: Jeffrey Blankfort, a justice activist and journalist in California, stated: "The Southern Poverty Law Center is another Zionist front group." [13]. SPLC set up to coopt African Americans.
In the last few years, the SPLC has focused has focused on anti-immigration activists and groups.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) is the largest immigration control organization in the country. The SPLC designated FAIR a "hate group" in December of 2007, citing the organization's "ties to white supremacy and its long track record of bigotry." According to a 2008 report by SPLC, founder and board member John Tanton, is the "architect of the movement" and has a "more than 30-year history of racial extremism." Based on "Tanton's personal correspondence, preserved at the University of Michigan's Bentley Historical Library," the report revealed that Tanton has been "in the midst of the white nationalist scene for decades."
"He has corresponded frequently with leading white nationalist thinkers, race scientists and Holocaust deniers. He encouraged a major donor to read the work of a radical anti-Semitic professor to "give you a new understanding of the Jewish outlook on life." And he suggested that the board of FAIR, on which he sits, discuss the professor's theories on the Jews."
According to the report, his organizations have long been "high-profile players" in the immigration debate. Furthermore, FAIR is responsible for helping to "defeat federal immigration reform legislation in 2007". They are also held responsible for "playing a key role in fueling the fierce, anti-immigrant backlash in the United States." FAIR "boasts on its website that it has been called on to testify about immigration more than any other organization."[14]
Illegal government surveillance
Karin Friedemann is a Boston-based writer on Middle East affairs and U.S. politics. She is Director of the Division on Muslim Civil Rights and Liberties for the National Association of Muslim American Women. In May of 2009, Ms. Friedman published an article entitled Americans Divided by Hate Crimes Bill , in the Khaleej Times (Persian Gulf), which included the following:
"The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), along with the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), is already heavily involved in Homeland Security's locally based 'fusion centres, 'which collect personal data for intelligence databases that synchronise national intelligence collection with local police. ADL and SPLC have a record of illegally spying on American citizens and providing false information to law enforcement officials." [15]
In response to Mark Potok's demand for a retraction of "libelous and defamatory" statements, Ms. Friedman responded:
"The U.S. Department of Justice released FBI documents indicating that the Southern Poverty Law Center engaged in undercover surveillance of Oklahoma militia groups in 1995 before and after the bombing of the Oklahoma City Federal Building. The local FBI team, which should have obtained a warrant to dispatch real FBI agents, criminally conspired with SPLC agents to get around Attorney General Janet Reno's legal limitations on domestic spying. Because the conspiracy was criminal, the espionage was illegal."
In The Watchdogs: A close look at Anti-Racist 'Watchdog' Groups, [16] Laird Wilcox documents the SPLC's extensive intelligence networks monitoring editorials, observing meetings and compiling files on people they consider offensive:
"By alleging 'dangerousness' on the basis of mere assumed values, opinions and beliefs, they put entirely innocent citizens at risk from law enforcement error and misconduct."
Mark Potok admitted that the SPLC criminally spied on the Animal Rights 2001 Conference by secretly recording attendees. In response to complaints by Friends of Animals president, Pricilla Feral about misleading SPLC characterizations about the group, he responded that:
"We were at that conference, we collected the quote ourselves, in person and on a videotape to boot."
In an article libeling Muslim clerics, the SPLC linked videos apparently made in violation of federal wiretapping and eavesdropping statutes. Many organizations and individuals have accused the SPLC of publishing false and misleading information as well as manipulating crime data and terminology. Federal law enforcement agencies and Homeland Security Fusion Centers have been issued a warning against relying on their erroneous and politicized "reports". The Turkish American Legal Defense Fund is currently suing the SPLC for defaming an 85-year-old emeritus professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts. [17]
Fund raising, assets & program expenses
As of October 2008, the group's net assets were $170,240,129. Chief Counsel Morris Dees was paid $273,132 and the President and CEO, Richard Cohen, was paid $290,193. Total revenue in 2007 was $44,727,257 and program expenses were $20,804,536. In other words, they raised twice as much they spent. Fund-raising and administrative expenses were $9 million, leaving $14 million to be put into the center's vast assets. [18]
According to a March of 2007 article in Harpers Magazine by Ken Silverstein, the SPLC combats mostly impotent groups like the Nazis and the Klu Klux Klan; raising obscene amounts of money by hyping fears about their power and influence. Hence, they have become the nation's richest "civil rights" organization. In 1978, when their treasury held less than $10 million, Mr. Dees vowed they would stop fund-raising and live off interest when they hit $55 million. A decade later, the goal was upped to $100 million. The group's newsletter promised that this amount would allow it "to cease the costly and often unreliable task of fund raising."[19]
SPLC is a tax-exempt, charitable organization incorporated in 1971 under tax code 501(c)(3). In the fiscal year ending in 2009, the group's assets totaled at $189.7 million dollars. Approximately 68% of our total expenses were spent on program services in 2009. [20]

Alabama Crimson Tide remain unanimous No. 1 in AP Top 25
Alabama is the unanimous No. 1 again in The Associated Press college football poll as the top eight teams in the rankings held steady for the fourth week in a row.
The Crimson Tide got 62 first-place votes for the second consecutive week and are followed by No. 2 Notre Dame, No. 3 Ohio State and No. 4 Clemson.
Southeastern Conference teams Texas A&M and Florida are fifth and sixth, respectively. Unbeaten Cincinnati is seventh and undefeated BYU is eighth.

The changes in the poll came after that, with Miami inching up to No. 9 and Indiana returning to the top 10.
Oregon's first loss of the season knocked the Ducks out of the top 10, dropping them 12 spots to No. 21.
POLL POINTS
The Crimson Tide have now been ranked for 209 consecutive AP polls, matching Florida's run from 1990 to 2002 under Steve Spurrier for the third-longest streak in the history of the rankings.
Florida State is second at 211 straight poll appearances from 1989-2001. With two games against losing teams left on Alabama's schedule, the Tide are likely to catch Bobby Bowden's Seminoles before the SEC championship game on Dec. 19. Nebraska holds the record with 348 consecutive appearances (1981-2002).
Texas, Auburn and North Carolina dropped out of the rankings after each lost for the third time this season. All three started the season ranked and at some point spent time in the top 10.

The replacements were two teams returning to the poll and one making its season debut:
- No. 23 Washington is ranked for the first time this season after it improved to 3-0 with a 21-point comeback against Utah on Saturday night.
- No. 24 Iowa was also 24th in the preseason. The Hawkeyes disappeared from the rankings along with the rest of the Big Ten when it did not look as if the conference would play in the fall. When the Big Ten returned, Iowa didn't quite make the cut among voters, but four victories in a row have the Hawkeyes back where they started.
- No. 25 Liberty is back after a week out.
Big Ten - 5 (Nos. 3, 10, 16, 18, 24).
SEC - 4 (Nos. 1, 5, 6, 11).

RANKED vs. RANKED
No. 10 Indiana at No. 18 Wisconsin. The Badgers have already have had three games canceled, virtually eliminating them from the Big Ten West race. Meanwhile, Indiana could be in line to take the East if Ohio State can't make the conference's minimum games requirement.
No. 25 Liberty at No. 14 Coastal Carolina. Who had Flames-Chanticleers as a matchup of ranked teams when the game was scheduled in August?

"Megillat Hitler," FDR, and the Jews
March 22, 2011 Wyman Institute Articles Comments Off on "Megillat Hitler," FDR, and the Jews
by Rafael Medoff
Among the more remarkable documents of the Holocaust is a scroll, created in North Africa in 1943, called "Megillat Hitler." Written in the style of Megillat Esther and the Purim story, it celebrates the Allied liberation of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, which saved the local Jewish communities from the Nazis. What the author did not realize, however, was that at the very moment he was setting quill to parchment, those same American authorities were actually trying to keep in place the anti-Jewish legislation imposed in North Africa by the Nazis.
On November 8, 1942, American and British forces, under the command of U.S. General Dwight Eisenhower, launched Operation Torch, the invasion of Nazi-occupied Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. It took the Allies just eight days to defeat the Germans and their Vichy French partners in the region.
For the Jews of North Africa, the Allied conquest was heaven-sent. The Vichy regime that ruled since the summer of 1940 had stripped the region's 330,000 Jews of their civil rights, severely restricted their entrance to schools and some professions, confiscated Jewish property, and tolerated sporadic pogroms against Jews by local Muslims. In addition, thousands of Jewish men were hauled away to forced-labor camps.
Among those taken prisoner on the first day of the operation was Admiral Francois Darlan, a senior leader of the Vichy French regime. In exchange for Darlan ordering his forces in Algiers to cease fire, President Franklin Roosevelt agreed to leave Darlan in charge of the newly-liberated North African territories. The French anti-Nazi resistance, led by Charles de Gaulle, was understandably outraged by FDR's partnership with their enemy. French underground activist Leon Morandat estimated the Darlan deal cost Roosevelt three-quarters of his prestige among the French masses.
Many of Roosevelt's supporters back at home were likewise appalled at the president's alliance with a prominent Nazi collaborator. "[It] sticks in the craw of majorities of the British and French, and of democrats everywhere, [that] we are employing a French Quisling as our deputy in the government of the first territory to be reoccupied," an editorial in The New Republic complained.
In his November 17 victory announcement, Roosevelt defended the Darlan deal as a "temporary expedient," and said he had "asked for the abrogation of all laws and decrees inspired by Nazi governments or Nazi ideologists." A delegation of Algerian Jews that met with General Eisenhower were given the same promise, and State Department official Adolph Berle assured American Jewish leaders that abolishing Vichy's anti-Jewish laws in North Africa was "on the agenda."
As a result, regardless of Darlan's title, Jewish groups felt confident that the principles articulated by FDR would guide the governance of Arab North Africa and its Jewish population. The American Jewish Congress optimistically predicted that the repeal of the Vichy era anti-Jewish legislation would follow the Allied occupation of North Africa "as the day follows the night." In this case, however, it was going to be a very long night.
The key issue was the now-defeated Vichy regime's repeal, back in 1940, of the 1870 Cremieux Decree. Crafted by French Minister of Justice (and Jewish leader) Adolphe Cremieux, that measure offered French citizenship to Jewish residents of French-occupied Algeria. This reversed the centuries of second-class status that local Arab leaders had imposed on Algeria's Jews. It made it possible for Jews to enter professions and schools in Algeria from which they had been excluded by the local Muslim rulers.
That Darlan and other former Vichy officials did not want to restore the Cremieux policy was no surprise. But what neither American nor Algerian Jewish leaders realized was that despite his promises, President Roosevelt himself was not convinced of the need to restore full equal rights for North African Jewry.
On January 17, 1943, two months after the Allied liberation of North Africa, Roosevelt, together with U.S. envoy Robert Murphy and Major General George S. Patton, met in Casablanca, Morocco, with Major-General Charles Nogues, a leader of the new "non-Vichy" regime.
According to the official transcript of the Casablanca conversation, Gen. Nogues informed FDR that the Jews in North Africa were clamoring for the right to vote. Roosevelt replied "that the answer to that was very simple, namely, that there just weren't going to be any elections, so the Jews need not worry about the privilege of voting."
Ambassador Murphy then pointed out that aside from the specific right to vote, North African Jews "were very much disappointed that the 'war for liberation' had not immediately resulted in their being given their complete freedom."
FDR's reply minced no words: "The number of Jews engaged in the practice of the professions (law, medicine, etc) should be definitely limited to the percentage that the Jewish population in North Africa bears to the whole of the North African population…The President stated that his plan would further eliminate the specific and understandable complaints which the Germans bore toward the Jews in Germany, namely, that while they represented a small part of the population, over fifty percent of the lawyers, doctors, school teachers, college professors, etc., in Germany, were Jews." (It is not clear where FDR got that wildly exaggerated statistic.)
Later that afternoon, according to the transcript, Roosevelt met with General Henri Giraud, commander of the French armies in the region, and "asked General Giraud as to the Jewish situation in Algeria. This was discussed at some length and the President set forth his views as he had done in this connection to General Nogues [earlier in the day]."
American Jewish leaders did not know of FDR's private comments about Jews. Undoubtedly they would have been shocked and horrified if word had leaked out. (The transcript was not made public until 1968.) But they did know that the promised restoration of the rights of North African Jewry had not taken place, and as the weeks turned into months, they started wondering why.
Various Jewish communities around the world have established local Purim-style celebrations to mark their deliverance from catastrophe.
The Jews of Frankfurt, for example, would hold a "Purim Vintz" one week after Purim, in remembrance of the downfall of an antisemitic agitator in 1620. Libyan Jews traditionally organized a "Purim Ashraf" and a "Purim Bergel" to recall the rescue of Jews in those towns, in 1705 and 1795, respectively.
The Jewish community of Casablanca, for its part, declared the day of the 1942 Allied liberation "Hitler Purim," and a local scribe, P. Hassine, created the "Megillat Hitler." (The original is on display at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.) The seven chapters of the scroll poignantly blend the flavor of the tale of ancient Persia with the amazing stroke of fortune that the Jews of Casablanca had themselves just experienced. It uses phrases straight from Megillat Esther, such as "the month which was turned from sorrow to rejoicing" and "the Jews had light and gladness, joy and honor," side by side with modern references such as "Cursed be Hitler, cursed be Mussolini."
The Jews of North Africa had much to celebrate. But after the festivities died down, questions began to arise. Much to the Jewish communities' consternation, and with the Allies' apparent approval, Gen. Darlan kept nearly all the original senior officials of the Vichy regime in North Africa in place. The only exception of note was Yves Chatel, the governor of Algeria–but his replacement was Maurice Peyrouton, who had signed the original Vichy anti-Jewish laws in the first place, back in 1940. Moreover, the Vichy regime's "Office of Jewish Affairs" (Service des Questions Juives) continued to operate, as did the forced labor camps in which thousands of Jewish men were being held. The only changes of note as a result of the Allied liberation involved some instances of individual Jews having their confiscated property returned to them.
Behind the scenes, senior U.S. officials were taking Darlan's side against the Jews. FDR's envoy to North Africa, Robert Murphy, recommended that the Cremieux Decree not be reinstated, because of Arab opposition. General Patton warned Eisenhower that if steps were taken to "favor the Jews," then "we will precipitate trouble and possibly civil war." Patton sent Eisenhower a report by Darlan making the case against equal rights for North African Jewry. Eisenhower forwarded the materials to the War Department and State Department, which were soon urging FDR to leave the decisions on Jewish affairs in the hands of the local governments in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
In December 1942, Darlan was assassinated under mysterious circumstances, and was replaced by General Giraud. But Giraud showed no signs of treating North African Jewry any differently from his predecessor.
American Jewish leaders were loathe to publicly take issue with the Roosevelt administration, but by the spring of 1943, they decided the principle at stake in North Africa was too important to justify further delay. The American Jewish Congress and World Jewish Congress issued a public statement charging that "the anti-Jewish legacy of the Nazis remains intact in North Africa" and urging FDR to eliminate the Vichy laws. "The spirit of the Swastika hovers over the Stars and Stripes," Benzion Netanyahu, director of the U.S. wing of the Revisionist Zionists (and father of Israel's current prime minister) charged. Leaders of the American Jewish Committee met with Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles to press for abrogation.
Similar pleas were heard from Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, French Jewish leader Baron Edouard de Rothschild, and even a group of Jewish GIs in Algiers who protested directly to U.S. ambassador Murphy. Editorials in a number of American newspapers echoed this criticism.
With pressure mounting, Giraud decided to make a gesture. On March 14, 1943, he announced that all racial laws imposed by the Vichy regime would be repealed. At the same time, however, he also abolished the Cremieux Decree, on the ground that it unfairly "established a difference between Muslim and Jewish natives."
At first, Roosevelt administration officials dug in their heels. Ambassador Murphy claimed that some Algerian Jewish leaders agreed it was impossible to reinstate the Cremiuex Decree. Undersecretary Welles insisted that technically, the region was no longer under Allied military occupation and the U.S. could not dictate how the local government ran things.
"The under secretary of state was perhaps right from a strictly formal viewpoint," notes Prof. Michael Abitbol in his study of North African Jewry during the Holocaust. "But he was strangely underestimating the immense influence wielded by the United States over North African internal politics."
Finally, under the accumulated weight of public protests, the U.S. made it clear to the local authorities that the anti-Jewish measures had to be repealed. The implementation process, however, was painfully slow, even after Giraud's administration was taken over by De Gaulle's Free French forces in the late spring.
Finally, in April 1943, the forced labor camps in North Africa were officially shut down, although some of them continued operating well into the summer. The Jewish quotas in schools and professions were gradually phased out. In May, the racial laws in Tunisia were abolished. Two hundred Italian Jews who had been taken by the Allies to a Tunisian forced labor camp, because they were citizens of an Axis country, were released after several months. And on October 20, 1943, nearly a year after the Allied liberation, the Cremieux Decree was at last reinstated. The victory that "Megillat Hitler" celebrated was finally complete.

WYMAN INSTITUTE AND SMITHSONIAN COLLABORATE ON HISTORY PROJECTS
As part of a new collaborative relationship, Wyman Institute director Rafael Medoff was recently invited to take part in an event at the Smithsonian Institution commemorating the 75th anniversary of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's order authorizing the mass internment of Japanese-Americans.
Dr. Medoff also spoke as part of a Smithsonian panel at the annual conference of the American Alliance of Museums, held at the America's Center convention complex, in St. Louis. The panel was called "TransformiveEd: Exploring Difficult Subjects through Comics"; Dr. Medoff discussed the Wyman Institute's use of comics, cartoons and animation to teach about the Holocaust.
The panel also included Evan Keeling of the Smithsonian, artists Liz Laribee and Jason Rodriguez, and Jenny Robb, director of the Billy Ireland Comic Library and Museum at Ohio State University, which is the largest comic library in the world.
Wyman Comic Wins Silver Medal
The Wyman Institute's comic book, Karski's Mission: To Stop the Holocaust, has been awarded a Silver Medal in the 21st annual Independent Publisher Awards.
Karski's Mission, which was authored by Wyman Institute director Rafael Medoff and illustrated by renowned comic book artist Dean Motter, was awarded the Silver Medal in the category of "Graphic Novel/Drawn Book – Drama/Documentary category."
Karski's Mission is based on the true story of Jan Karski (1914-2000), a Polish Catholic and member of the Polish Underground during World War II, who risked his life to bring Allied leaders his eyewitness account of the ongoing slaughter of the Jews in Nazi-occupied Poland.
Karski's Mission, which was co-published by the Wyman Institute and the Jan Karski Educational Foundation, received additional support from Fundacja Edukacyjna Jana Karskiego, the Association of Friends of the Polish History Museum, Sigmund A. Rolat (chairman of the Wyman Institute's board of directors), Carole Bilina, and John McLees. With assistance from the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage, a Polish-language edition of Karski's Mission is now being used widely in schools in Poland.

By MaryAnn Guoladdle Parker (Kiowa)
We have seen those photos being passed around on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter about people creating beautiful beadwork imagining their state or providence where they live or where their people are from. This trend was started by CeeJay Johnson (Dakota/Tlingit) of Kooteen Creations, who wanted to create something that would help our Native community pass the time while we are all in quarantine.
My friend Chelsea Herr (Choctaw Nation) participated in this challenge. Chelsea recently earned her doctoral degree in Native American art history and joined the Gilcrease Museum team as their curator of Indigenous art and culture. She created a beautiful design for Oklahoma. I asked her a few questions about her experience and her project.
Beaded Provinces of Canada
FAAM: How did you hear about this challenge?
Chelsea: I heard about this challenge through Kooteen Creations' (CeeJay Johnson) social media. I've followed her for a while now, because she posts great tutorial videos on how to do unique edging techniques. When she announced the "Bead Your State" challenge, I was so excited to have an opportunity to create something with other bead workers across the continent!
FAAM: What inspired you to use the pattern and colors you chose?
Chelsea: The pattern was inspired by the geographic location of Tuskahoma, which was the original capitol of the Choctaw Nation following our removal from Mississippi to Indian Territory. The colors are taken from a typical "flame" motif, but I used them in circles radiating outward from Tuskahoma. The concentric design reflects two things: the physical structure of the Earth, from the core out to the crust and to the atmosphere; and the spherical view of the universe that my Mississippian-Muskogean ancestors held.
Beaded United States
FAAM: How long did it take for you to finish?
Chelsea: I have no idea how long it took to finish. I'd estimate between 15 and 20 hours, including the edging and turning the final piece into a medallion. I tend not to pay attention to the time involved with each of my projects, because being present in the process is very important to me. The act of beading is therapeutic—I often sit down in the evenings after work and just bead to relax my mind, so it's hard to keep track of the time.
FAAM: What does your creation mean to you?
Chelsea: The final product itself is an expression of my connection to my community, and our communal connection to a land that is not ancestrally ours. We were forcefully displaced from our homelands in Mississippi, and I respect the commitment that my ancestors had to making this new land in Indian Territory feel like a home. When I moved from California to Oklahoma five years ago, it felt like coming home in a way, and I know that feeling comes from a genealogy of people who were determined to survive and create a prosperous world for their descendants.
FAAM: What does your beading process look like?
Chelsea Herr's beaded Oklahoma State
Chelsea: My beading process is very unstructured and improvisational. I know a lot of bead workers plan their designs and final products before they even begin, but I don't work that way. To me, it's much less stressful if I sit down with a basic idea—such as the outline of Oklahoma—and some colors that I'm drawn to, and just start beading without a detailed plan in mind. I think that allows the beads, the designs, and the colors to speak for themselves.
Kooteen Creations mentioned in a Facebook post that, "All in all, this project grew to encompass artists from every corner of the nation and solidified the fact that when we come together to work towards a common goal, we can accomplish anything." This challenge proved that we can accomplish anything when we work together to create something beautiful.

The Socialist Campaign for a Labour Victory (SCLV)  was originally formed in 1978 by left-wing members of the British Labour Party, including those associated with the Trotskyist group Workers' Fight and the publications London Labour Briefing and Chartist to argue from a socialist perspective for the re-election of Labour despite the party's failures and policies in power since 1974.

The SCLV launched the newspaper Socialist Organiser and produced its own campaigning materials that local Constituency Labour Parties could use instead of official posters and leaflets. In the event, Margaret Thatcher won the 1979 general election for the Conservative Party.

36 years later, the SCLV was refounded in the run-up to the 2015 general election.

The campaign says its members do not "just want to "hold their noses" and just vote Labour as a lesser evil." They want to "combine campaigning for a Labour government with clear working-class demands, to boost working-class confidence, and strengthen and transform the labour movement".

Prominent supporters include the Labour MP John McDonnell, journalist and author David Osler, and a large number of labour movement activists and elected representatives.

Shopping for your to start with dwelling can certainly be an extraordinary milestone in your daily life. In line with this, you may perhaps experience a mixture of several thoughts like success, joy but at the identical time, there&#39s nervousness that may perhaps impair judgement. You experience anxious about this big conclusion that you have to make, probably the largest financial conclusion in your daily life. And just one of the most common queries you have to confront is – are you heading to lease or acquire? Allow us focus on about purchasing vs. leasing in this write-up.
Right before you appear up with any even more conclusion about transferring on your individual, you have to talk to yourself, is it time that you acquire your individual property or are you far better off leasing a dwelling?
Residing solo? Renting a dwelling could possibly be a lot more suitable for you. Residing on your own in a big property may perhaps be a little bit as well a lot – as well a lot place and as well a lot do the job or charge for the upkeep. If you do not have the cash for a down payment and all the prices of possessing a property then leasing is probably a lot more recommended. Also, if you are anxious about career protection then this is a indication to maybe go on leasing for the minute. Think of the influence to you and your family members if you decided to acquire a property and then lose your career soon after couple months.
How can you manage to pay out for the mortgage? Do you need to have to lease a place or component of the property to make it do the job? These things to consider are quite critical ahead of you appear up with your remaining conclusion.
Do not rush in to purchasing a property most primarily if you&#39re not economically and mentally prepared. There is almost nothing wrong with leasing to start with. Remaining realistic will give you a lot more gains in the extended run. Most of all, your REALTOR® is a resource of important facts to you as a to start with time dwelling buyer.
Now, when is the fantastic time to acquire your property? One major element to that is when you are economically stable. And when we say economically stable it indicates that you have cash for at minimum a 5% down payment for the new property, a permanent and stable career and probably a personal savings to provide as your back-up approach, must you need to have to mend or renovate the dwelling. Also, you have to keep in mind that it does not finish in paying out the down payment you also have to pay out for other prices in purchasing your individual property like price range for the home furniture, utilities and of program the regular monthly mortgage fee. Throughout the obtaining course of action you will be producing cheques to dwelling inspectors, insurance plan insurance policies and lawyers.
Possessing a family members could be another element that will direct you into the conclusion of purchasing a property. Elevating a family members in a property you can call your individual is undoubtedly great. Possessing your individual back garden so that your small children can perform or a big kitchen area in which you cook and eat jointly as family members are just some perks of residing in your individual property.
It is quite critical to evaluate your scenario and all other elements ahead of you make a decision if you are heading to acquire your individual dwelling. If the assessment turns out that you are not but prepared, then settle for leasing to start with.

Thousands of cars a day pass near the old Rock Hill Cotton Factory, with many inside those cars noting the multitude of changes to the outside of the building over the past 14 months. But most have not been privy to the changes taking place on the inside.
Photos in Tuesday's Herald revealed interior office space that, while modern, also has utilized many of the architectural features of what had been the state's first steam-powered textile mill. Designers have left the soaring wooden ceilings, the tall windows and dormers, and open floor space intact. Exposed pipes and wooden beams maintain the industrial feel of the building.
The renovated Cotton Factory at the intersection of White Street and Dave Lyle Boulevard will house Williams & Fudge, a locally owned college loan agency. The building's other sections will be used for office or retail space. Gary Williams and his partners have spent $10 million on the project.
This renovation serves not only as a stunning example of how the successful development of the city's textile corridor can proceed but also as a way to preserve an important landmark of the community's heritage.

Why Combine Botanicals & Nutrients?
Botanicals guide specific biochemical processes in the body to encourage optimal functioning of all organs and systems. Nutrients provide the body the raw materials it needs to support these processes.
A single herb or nutrient may lead to an improvement in symptoms, but the overall results often fall short of what can be achieved when one or more combination formulas are used.


If you think your restaurant's brand design begins and ends with a clever logo and advertising campaign, think again.
Great signage and an engaging marketing program might encourage consumers to sample your restaurant, but those won't keep them coming back or telling friends. The essence of your brand's design is what happens inside the restaurant. Call it ambiance, a composite of elements that affect all the senses. It's what creates a memorable experience.
Great food doesn't make a memorable or successful restaurant. It helps, of course, and without it you're likely to fail. But research shows that purposely designed ambiance and service are significantly more important in determining restaurant preference and how much a customer is willing to pay.
The best and most successful restaurants have a well-defined concept. From the cutlery selection to the color palette, and from lighting to music, the orchestration of a brand's essence is what makes you feel good, what causes the food to taste better, and what conveys comfort.
We call this brand follow through—extending the design inside the company (in this case, a restaurant). At its heart, a brand is a promise, a way of saying, "This is who we are and what you'll get." That's why it's so important for user-centered design to be carried through into the restaurant, imbuing everything consumers experience.
Synchronized restaurant interior design aims to provide a customer with a very specific sensation the moment they step inside. This vibe might manifest itself in several ways, such as feeling like home or being in another country.
This sensation is difficult to describe, but you've surely experienced it. You entered a restaurant and felt good. Everything about the user experience was connected and had a reason. But creating a unique and pleasant ambiance isn't just window dressing. It's a design strategy that can give a brand personality and transform a restaurant from surviving to thriving. Here's compelling evidence.
In their groundbreaking research featured in Nature, Nanette Stroebele and Dr. John De Castro discovered that a restaurant's lighting can affect food intake: "Warm light appears to make people more comfortable, leading to them staying longer in the location, which leads to increased food intake, whereas glaring light decreases the amount of time people spend in the eating location." **** The same study reveals that color can influence a patron's behavior, as well—customers judged coffee from a blue pot as mild, while the exact same coffee served from a brown pot was deemed too strong.
The next time you're having an amazing dining experience, take a moment to look around the restaurant—there's a good chance that creative designers of a consistent brand are responsible for your enjoyment.
Not sure where to start with creative restaurant design? Not to worry. LAVIDGE can help you develop the perfect ambiance to create a consistent brand experience.
Color scheme. There's a lot of science behind color selection. Some colors have been proven to increase a person's appetite. Others can support a home-like feeling.
Spacing. Too many tables can make people feel uncomfortable. Too few may convey that the restaurant is in trouble. Some table-spacing strategies can subtly encourage customers to eat quickly and leave.
Lighting. Are you trying to create a romantic environment? Turn down the lights. Do you want a hip place for millennials? Make it bright.
Décor. From the style of chair to what adorns your walls, the design of your restaurant communicates just as much as the food you serve.
Sound. Like lighting, the sound your customers hear can make all the difference. Music can help define your ambiance. And the flooring and ceiling height can determine how quiet or noisy your restaurant is.
Staff. Don't forget your employees. Pay attention to how they dress. From the colors they wear to how clean and pressed their clothes are, they will convey your restaurant's personality.

I'm a journalist, I'm an author
Freelance contributors to the US press have won an important legal battle. The Supreme Court has ruled in their favor in the case brought by the National Writers Union against various media companies, among them 'The New York Times', concerning the digital reproduction of their work. However, in the throes of victory, some are afraid that the battle might be lost.
The Tasini versus 'The New York Times' case reached the Supreme Court having been on its way through the lower courts since 1993 without a sentence favoring the workers. That year, Jonathan Tasini, along with five other contributors represented by the NWU, brought a lawsuit against the venerable paper for having reused their articles without prior agreement or reward.
Seven years later, there is legal recognition of what morally was never disputed. The only argument the publishing companies could come up with in their own defense was that their contributors' articles were being used as collected or revised works.
Forced to negotiate
However, archiving contributions on databases and later selling them to third parties, as is the case with 'The New York Times', is to reinvent the concept of collected and revised work. The court rejected such an innovation and, by 7 votes to 2, obliged the media firms to abide by the law. For that to happen, newspaper companies and freelancers are going to have to reach an agreement.
'The New York Times' seems to favor eliminating from its databases the articles affected, rather than make retroactive payments to their authors. The paper's position may be no more than wanting to negotiate from strength with its contributors, as the measure would only end up harming both parties. While the papers would no longer be able to provide an essential asset, the freelancers would find the impact of their work diminished.
Royalties for distribution
The decision the papers take is crucial to the future of their relations with contributors. To pay is to recognize that the latter have the right to income from the reuse and sale of their work, as royalties, which would establish the basis for a system of payment that was adapted to the digital world. The measure would also mean the revision of contracts with contributors that 'The New York Times' signed from 1990 onwards, which including a generous waving of rights.
'The New York Times' is one of the most venerable institutions of the press. For that reason, it receives close scrutiny from less distinguished journalistic bodies, but it is not the only one to have had its knuckles rapped. The Dutch paper DeVolksrant lost a lawsuit brought in 1997 by three journalists protesting the unauthorized republication of their articles online and on CD-Rom.
Additional payments
Some in the European media are seeking ways of paying journalists for the reuse of their work in the digital media. The French paper 'Le Monde' was a pioneer in establishing, in 1996, a percentage system for its annual income from its digital editions, to be distributed among its workers. It does not seem, so far, that they have been able to enjoy it much.
Among Spanish papers, there has not so far been any public debate. The lack of profits from digital media has not awoken any interest. Habitually, papers reproduce their content in digital formats and on the Internet without any additional payment for them. Although some in the media include a sweeping concession of rights in the contracts that allow it, this is not always the case.
Slipping the rights knot
With digital and online distribution, the waving of rights has become a hanging noose for many authors, and they have started to undo the knot. The Napster phenomenon was the catalyst. After that musicians, photographers, actors and even the creators of videogames, writers, collaborators and journalists are protecting the linings of their pockets from unlimited and unauthorized distribution.
Besides the legal battle, there is also the news battle. Firms like the US
Featurewell act as a filter between contributors and publishing firms. They select and make articles from quality contributors available to magazines and websites, and advise contributors on where to draw the line regarding the concession of rights. Companies and journalists, both in the US and the rest of the world, thus save themselves all the trouble of negotiation.
Regulation has only just begun. The European Union has passed legislation that contains so many loop-holes that it leaves it virtually all to be done in individual countries. And in each, within each media company, unless a general agreement is accepted by all.

Shuler pledges prez super-delegate vote to local popular-vote winner
Posted on May 6, 2008 May 6, 2008 by Hal L. Millard
The math says that regardless of who wins North Carolina's May 6 primary, presidential candidate Barack Obama will still have more pledged primary and caucus delegates nationwide to carry the nomination.
Unless, that is, Democratic party "super delegates" (consisting of bigwigs and players in the party nationwide) decide to throw their weight behind Hillary Clinton, which could skew the Democratic Convention calculus in her favor later this summer when the final delegate total is tallied.
Local Rep. Heath Shuler — originally a John Edwards supporter, and a super delegate like all Democratic members of Congress — said on primary eve Monday that he will throw his vote at the convention to whomever among the Democratic candidates wins the popular vote in the 11th Congressional District.
Below, the full text of Shuler's announcement and rationale, sent to Xpress via e-mail.
— Hal L. Millard, staff writer
"As the Congressman for Western North Carolina, my attention is focused on keeping jobs in America and creating jobs in the district by investing in renewable and sustainable energy, ensuring every American has access to affordable health care, and solving the illegal immigration crisis.
"As a Congressman, I also serve as a super delegate in my party's presidential nominating process. Being a super delegate is not a position I sought when I decided to run for Congress, but it is one that comes with the office. Super delegates are to determine, as they see fit, whom they will support at the Democratic National Convention.
"Early in the nominating process, I proudly endorsed former U.S. Senator from North Carolina John Edwards in his campaign for President, and would have supported him with my super delegate vote at the Convention. Since Senator Edwards suspended his campaign, however, I have not endorsed any other candidate and my super delegate vote has remained unpledged.
"I have now decided to pledge my vote as a super delegate at this year's Convention for whichever candidate wins the majority of votes in North Carolina's 11th Congressional District. My focus, however, will remain on being an effective representative of Western North Carolina in Congress.
"Since the Democratic Party's nominating process provides for each super delegate to determine who shall receive their vote in whatever manner they so choose, I do not believe that any other super delegate is bound to make a decision similar to mine.
"The process of selecting the Democratic Party's Presidential nominee has generated tremendous enthusiasm and attracted tens of thousands of new voters to the polls. In North Carolina, over 500,000 votes have already been cast in the primary and countless more will be cast tomorrow. I applaud each and every North Carolinian who has already voted and encourage every registered voter to get out to the polls tomorrow and make certain that their voice is heard in this historic election."

Shuler pledges ???
Will he pledge to deate three or more times with Dr.Mumpower?
Shuler stated he would have debated
Charles Taylor anytime back just two years, now we he be a man of his word & debate now??
The people deserve to hear from both men -face to face – No radio debates!!
We have public access tv, open it up to live calls & do a real debate.
Congratulations on Dr. Mumpower's victory. I had it wrong, and I'm awfully glad we didn't make that bet! You worked very hard to help make it happen, so hats off to you.
I'm looking forward to a Mumpower/Shuler debate as well. However, judging from the Congressional debate, I'm not sure URTV is the best place to do it. Maybe y'all could bring the cameras to someplace that people can come.
Also, I think you're assuming that Shuler doesn't want to debate. Your "now we he be a man of his word", assumes a lack of integrity in the Congressman. It's unseemly and unnecessary.
When the County Commission Republicans refused to debate in Woodfin, I didn't hear you questioning them, so let's not pretend there's some universal principle at work here.
That all being said – I can't wait for the debate(s). I'm bringing popcorn.
And in case anyone's forgotten – Shuler did show up to debate in a big public forum – but Taylor didn't come.

This is a little off topic, but does Mumpower have to vacate his city council seat to run?
And he does know that he's running against on of the most conservative Democrats in Congress? And a quarterback?
To All,
The Congressional GOP debate was a very big success for the members of URTV along with the other panel members who did take part of the debate.
Click here to view: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-574196779388928505&q=urtv+debate&ei=FUcjSNvTDpP8rQK-x73FAg&hl=en
I am proud of the production – I also recived alot of email saying they were happy that they got a chance to hear from the candidates.This event took alot of work from many members of URTV..
Here are direct remarks from your spokesman on your very own blog by the "uptown ruler".
It sad to see you have a diffent view than you fellow co-reporter.
RBernier
PS… Knowing that any spin other than the truth would be to call the election for Cambell. Its was clear in my eyes of the spin, thus the wager!!
Well, yesterday, I had a most eye opening experience.
I, representing BlogAsheville attended, with fellow Scrutiny Hooligan Gordon Smith, the Republican debate at URTV between Spence Campbell, John Armor, and Carl Mumpower.
I had expected the entire thing to be tense and uncomfortable, given some of the political leanings of we Scrutiny Hooligans; however, I was embarrassingly delighted by the treatment I received by everyone involved. These guys were class acts.
To be sure, there is not much common ground in our political stances, but I have to say these are the type of Republicans my grandparents supported, and meeting them yesterday, helped me understand my grandparents a little better.
Political ranting and hooliganism aside, I think anyone of these men would represent the Republican party well.
I will offer this debate fourm to Mr. Shular & will work close with the "D" party to get this to happen.
If they wish, you to be on the panel however, I wouldn't count on it.
(wager?)!! lol
I will work together to make the debate to be on a level playing field, as was done in the last debate.
By being fair & open you can bring the players to the table which I expect this will happen.
(wager?) lol
I also see rules set in place for the panel due to plugging websites & also getting and handing out papers during a debate, that was just too weird & also out of line.
Im glad to have this debate for review to Mr.Shular & his staff, knowing this was the first ever debate from URTV. We all look forward in having several debates before the November election, one in which should happen at URTV.
This debate will be aired in Buncombe & Madison Counties along with being on Google video.
By just having a debate in a room with 200 to 300 citizens is nice, however by getting this on URTV & the world wide web is far greater. I belive we will even try to stream this live on the
URTV will re-air this debate several times thus giving the citizens a chance to view.

Richard, you just like to fight.
I didn't say there was anything wrong with your precious production. I said that it would be good to have debates where people could see them live. You can film it if you'd like.
So touchy.
You did a really nice job of dodging any of the actual points I made in my comment though.
Congratulations again on Dr. Mumpower's victory.
He doesn't have to vacate.
The syntax is tortured but I think I know what you meant by this:
"PS… Knowing that any spin other than the truth would be to call the election for Cambell. Its was clear in my eyes of the spin, thus the wager!"
If I'm wrong about this, I'm sure you'll let me know, but I really thought Campbell would win it based on his fundraising and his blandness. I thought Carl was too unlikeable and that Armor couldn't raise effective money.
I think you're saying that my prediction was "spin". It wasn't. You're too suspicous, Richard, and touchy!
UT likes him and that's all that matters.
Ralph Roberts
Gordon, you might want to rethink the logic behind your comment about "…someplace that people can come…" … If it's being televised, bubba, people don't NEED to come, they can watch it at home. … or in a bar whilst drinking liberally.
Anyway, let me congratulate Richard again, he is almost by himself doing far more than the so-called mainstream media to cover local politics.
URTV is changing a lot about a good many things. And once our live Internet streaming goes into effect, the best is yet to come.
R. Bernier
Thanks for your kind words, please keep in mind I focus on the lack or real media within the conserative venue & evening going into arena's to expand truth while being placed on video.
The production was a team effort from everyone, I never knew how much work goes into a debate.
Im sure Ralph we can work with Shuler's folks to bring the congressional debate on URTV. We both have friends across the aisle that we will be talking too.
Rodney King is a "king of cash" today with the help of video. The video dont lie which upsets folks when they try to spin Ralph knowing they are video to prove them being caught in a lie.
Um – maybe this will help…
The URTV Congressional debate was super awesome. A lot of people got to meet the candidates who wouldn't have otherwise, and it was right nice of them to have me over on the panel.
URTV is an important media in this area.
Now can I say that it would still be better in front of a live audience where anyone could ask unscripted questions? Bring your cameras!
I don't have any say either way, but if I had to choose, I'd say put it in front of live people.
Congratulations again on Dr. Mumpower's victory, Richard.
"…I'd say put it in front of live people. …"
what other kind is there? ;-) … well, okay, the Democratic party here in the mountains has a long tradition of voting dead folks but I've never seen them actually CAMPAIGN in the graveyards … they just took that vote for granted.
but, okay, I agree with your point, Gordon… and that's exactly what Richard is doing in large part, getting out in the field and catching events as they happen in the actual venue. He also has deep support in that he can call on other producers to help, including me (and I have a goodly amount of equipment, plus URTV now has a nice selection of field equipment).
There is a place for both types of shows. Sometimes the audience participation things get a bit disorganized, sometimes they bring out good points.
We do both.
But… personally… I ain't a coverin' none of them dead folk rallies!
The Wine Mule
Mumpower vs. Shuler. Dumb and Dumber. This is a choice?
Matt Mittan
What's wrong with a radio debate? I would hope that each of the candidates would make themselves available in NUMEROUS public formats, radio being just one of them. Some of the most important moments in WNC politics have taken place on live radio over the past few years. I don't get the diss at the start of this tread – and radio debates ARE open for calls. Please help me understand your frustration Richard…
For Richard it appears to be URTV or bust.
R.Bernier
Why not URTV Matt?
Well, I for one, like Matt … he's the premo radio voice in this area. But… in his off hours… way down there in the Mattcave, I bet he watches URTV, TOO. ;-)
just like I listen to "Take A Stand" several days a week.
it takes us all… even crazy liberal bloggers.
hmmm… okay, let me get back to you on that last.
also — being nice aside — none of the commercial media (for a lot of reasons, most of them economic) cover local politics in the depth that Richard and Gordon and Bobby the Mighty Thunderpig and a few others do.
Fellas and gals, who cares about a debate between two morons? The two of them, each in their own sweet ways, are totally reprehensible. Surely we deserve a better choice? I'm not advocating for anyone in particular; I just think it is disgraceful that these are our only choices.

Council to consider denser zoning along South Tunnel Road


Rapper Benzino was shot as he drove in his mother's funeral procession in what police say was family feud turned violent.
The shooting took place on the southbound lane of Route 3 outside of Boston, causing the road to be closed while police investigated the shooting. The Duxbury Fire Department said the victim, whose real name is Raymond Scott, was dropped off at a police station with a gunshot wound and then taken to South Shore Hospital.
After rapper Benzino was shot, police arrested his nephew, Gai Scott. Police have charged him with armed assault and intent to murder, and he is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Plymouth District Court.
Police say the shooting took place during the funeral procession with the cars driving next to each other. Father William Williams, who presided over the ceremony, said there was a bloody scene when the funeral procession arrived.
"I said to one of the guys, 'There's blood on the hearse,' the clergyman told the news station.
The Duxbury Police Department released a statement about the shooting on Saturday, informing the public that a suspect had been apprehended.
Rapper Benzino is the former owner of the hip hop magazine The Source and star of the reality show Love and Hip Hop Atlanta.
Relatives say that rapper Benzino was shot as part of an ongoing feud with his nephew and that the two have been at odds for years.
I JUST WANNA THANK EVERYBODY WHO PRAYED AND SENT THEIR SINCERE CONCERNS FOR ME AND MY MOM, SHE WAS FINALLY LAID TO REST AMONGST ALL THE CHAOS, YOUR KIND WORDS AND THOUGHTS HAVE REALLY HELPED ME HEAL FASTER. ALTHOUGH I WILL HAVE A LONG ROAD OF PHYSICAL THERAPY AHEAD OF ME, I WILL BE EVEN STRONGER. GOD IS GREAT AND THE DEVIL IS A LIE".
Why did his nephew want to take the life of his dear Uncle Benzino? Could the tension between the two be so deep, that his nephew thought it was worth Benzino's life? I hope they work things out because I hate to see a family divided.

While there's nothing like actually holding a book in your hands, there's also no denying that the cost of those books can add up quickly. So why not join the digital age and read Manga online? Another big reason to read Manga online is the huge amount of material that is available. When you go to a comic store or other book store their shelves are limited by the space that they have. When you go to an online site to read Manga those limitations don't exist. So if you want the best selection and you also want to save money then reading Manga online should be an obvious choice for you
