Since anti-gunners are always saying “no one wants to take your guns away” or they want me to live under their take of “sensible gun laws” (neither of which I believe to be prudent, sensible or anything remotely truthful) I figured I would go to the NRA’s Institute of Legislative Action to find out who are the people that want to be sure that I can’t defend my home or go shooting my .22 in the woods (both heinous acts of human behavior to be sure). So, hats off the the NRA-ILA team for compiling this list. Here is what the NRA-ILA team had to say. The following organizations have lent monetary, grassroots or some other type of direct support to anti-gun organizations. In many instances, these organizations lent their name in support of specific campaigns to pass anti-gun legislation such as the March 1995 HCI “Campaign to Protect Sane Gun Laws.” Many of these organizations were listed as “Campaign Partners,” for having pledged to fight any efforts to repeal the Brady Act and the Clinton “assault weapons” ban.

The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Cartoons and the new anti-Semitism A thesis presented in fulÀ lment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design at Massey University College of Creative Arts Wellington New Zealand Steven W. Smith 2012 Cartoons and the new anti-Semitism | Abstract ii Abstract This thesis examines how the use of the Star of David symbol in cartoons published in the three months following the May 31, 2010 Gaza Á otilla incident reÁ ects a global new anti-Semitism. The objective is to identify and examine how particular signiÀ ers in editorial-style cartoons are used to communicate an anti-Semitic message. Over the three-month period immediately following the Á otilla incident the mechanical and automatic retrieval method, Google Alerts captured cartoons published internationally on the Internet each day. Roland Barthes’ theory of systematic semiotic analysis was employed to examine visual aspects of cartoons for signs which connoted anti- Semitic messages against a framework of criteria drawn from a synthesis of recognised deÀ nitions of anti-Semitism. The research supports claims that a new anti-Semitism has spread into the consciousness of mainstream culture. The research suggests that criticism of Israel via the medium of cartoons can cross the line from legitimate criticism to established anti-Semitic manifestations. Cartoons and the new anti-Semitism | Acknowledgements iii Acknowledgements Thank you to: Massey University’s Associate Professor Claire Robinson and Patricia Thomas for their supervision and guidance throughout this thesis, my parents for their unfailing support, my young children who sacriÀ ced time with their father during the course of researching and writing, my cherished wife, Deborah, whose loving sacriÀ ces made the undertaking of this thesis possible.

It begins in 1783 during the last days of British rule and ends with the first generation of news websites. Old yellowed newspapers, rolls of microfilm, and archived web pages not only preserve stories about the history of Florida and the world, but they also give us insight into the people who have worked for the state’s newspapers. This chronology only scratches the surface of a very long and complex story, but hopefully it will serve as a useful reference tool for researchers and journalism historians.

  • Cartoons Through the Years, Part Two
    Cartoons Through the Years, Part Two When it comes to cartoons in New Orleans, one cannot say enough about the achievements of John Chase (1905 – 1986). Upon his death in 1986, the Times-Picayune/States-Item wrote: “Few people transcend the status of ordinary citizen to become venerated insitutions. John Churchill Chase was such a person. A cartoonist, illustrator, scholar and historian, Mr. Chase had become a New Orleans institution long before his death.” John Churchill Chase, pipe in hand, at his drawing board The tribute also emphasized his “keen sense of humor” and mentioned his time as “editorial cartoonist for The States-Item and later for WDSU-TV.” His “wit that he directed at politicians and other public fugures was more subtle than savage,” and his “long and distinguished career” drawing “more than 15,000 cartoons since 1925” brought him honors “in abundance.” One included “national recognition for a cartoon after the devastating Mississippi River flood of 1927.” His best known book, Frenchmen, Desire, Good Children … And Other Streets Of New Orleans!, cleverly and breezily tells the history of the Crescent City by means of its street nomenclature. It won the 1949 Louisiana Literary Award and remains an ever-popular local gem. Two great histories, written and illustrated by Chase After graduating from Isidore Newman in New Orleans, Chase attended the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts (founded 1878). In 1882, the Academy was renamed the Art Institute of Chicago, which (in addition to Chase) trained: Walt Disney (1901-1966); Herblock (1909-2001); Bill Mauldin (1921-2003); Edward Gorey (1925-2000) – noted for the Masterpiece Mystery sequence; Shel Silverstein (1930-1999); Gahan Wilson (1930 - ); and Don Herold (1889-1966); to name just a few.

  • Comments of the Association of Medical Illustrators
    Comments of the Association of Medical Illustrators Library of Congress U.S. Copyright Office [Docket No. 2015-01] Copyright Protection for Certain Visual Works The Association of Medical Illustrators (AMI) is the sole professional organization for the profession. All medical illustrators rely on the protections of copyright to protect the authenticity and integrity of their work. All rely on the divisibility of exclusive rights to earn their living. All have experienced substantial economic loss despite their utmost proactive actions to protect their rights. AMI is grateful that the Copyright Office is undertaking a much needed inquiry into the impact of current copyright law on visual artists. RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS SET FORTH IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER NOTICE The Most Significant Challenges Related to Monetizing and/or Licensing Graphic Artwork and Illustrations The challenges facing AMI members are the same as those for all graphic artists, particularly professional illustrators. However, the market for medical publications is smaller than for mass market publications with the result that purchase prices and subscriptions are especially high in comparison with the publishing industry in general. Further, the business environment for medical illustration has experienced two especially significant changes in recent years that create a much more hostile environment for licensing and monetization than in the past. These are: (1) the consolidation of the Scientific, Technical and Medical (STM) publishing industry with the result that a handful of giant multinational publishing companies control the conditions of licensing for medical illustration, and (2) the disproportionately extensive and rapid migration from print distribution to electronic distribution, often through site licenses offered by publishers and content aggregators to physicians, hospitals, clinics, universities and medical research institutions.
