AB 51 - Lane Splitting - Quirk (2-year bill) - This bill would authorize a motorcycle that has 2 wheels in contact with the ground to be driven between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane if the speed of traffic is 30 miles per hour or less motorcycle is not driven at a speed of more than 50 miles per hour and the motorcycle is driven no more than 10 15 miles per hour faster than the speed of traffic. AB 334 - Anti-Profiling - Cooley (2-year bill)- This bill would require the Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training to ensure that the profiling of motorcycle riders is addressed in the course of basic law enforcement training and offered to law enforcement officers in conjunction with existing training regarding profiling. The bill would require all local law enforcement agencies to adopt a written policy designed to condemn and prevent the profiling of motorcycle riders. SB 34 - Automated license plate recognition systems: use of data, Hill - authorizes the Department of the California Highway Patrol to retain license plate data captured by license plate recognition (LPR) technology, also referred to as an automated license plate recognition (ALPR) system, for not more than 60 days unless the data is being used as evidence or for the investigation of felonies. AB 222 - Vehicle Registration – Achadjian- prohibits the disclosure of the home addresses of certain public employees and officials, including an employee of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Division of Juvenile Facilities or the Prison Industry Authority, that appear in records of the Department of Motor Vehicles, except to a court, a law enforcement agency, an attorney in a civil or criminal action under certain circumstances, and certain other official entities. AB 346 - proof of identity including full face examination -Wilk signed by Governor. This bill would additionally require that the arrested person be taken immediately before a magistrate if he or she fails to present both his or her driver’s license or other evidence of identity and an unobstructed view of his or her full face for examination. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) is statutorily responsible for California's official motorcycle safety training program. Pursuant to California Vehicle Code Sections 2930-2935, the CHP administers the CMSP through a primary contractor, currently Total Control Training Inc. The CHP strongly encourages all motorcycle riders to sign up for the CMSP, which is administered by the CHP as California's official motorcycle safety and training program. The Program offers courses for new and experienced riders. “If you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are doomed to live under the rule of fools.” ~ Plato (428-347 BC) A.B.A.T.E Local 17 and Iron Steed Harley Davidson Hot Rods and Harleys nd th 22 Annual 18 Annual Show June 5th (Flyer under construction) Ongoing Monthly Events 3rd Tuesday : Lords Prospects; Tony’s Restaurant 909 Merchant St, Vacaville 3rd Thursday: B.R.O.

Things to Think About If you’re flying a Patch, or not. Watch your back. Stick together This article was found in another publication. This is being shared to enlighten everyone who is interested. Something I found about the Waco shoot out. Waco witness: ‘It was a setup from start to finish’ WACO — Richie was the first to die, then Diesel, then Dog. Whatever else they were in life, the men with the biker nicknames were Cossacks, loud and proud and riders in a Texas motorcycle gang. And that’s what got them killed, shot to death in a brawl with a rival gang in the parking lot of a Texas “breastaurant” that advertised hot waitresses and cold beer. “I saw the first three of our guys fall, and we started running,” said their brother-in-arms, another Cossack, who said he was there a week ago when the shooting started at the Twin Peaks restaurant. The Cossack, president of a North Texas chapter of the motorcycle gang, asked not to be identified because he is in hiding and said he fears for his life. He is a rare eyewitness speaking publicly about the Waco shootings, one of the worst eruptions of biker-gang violence in U.S. history. Since last week’s violence, Waco police have offered few conclusions in their investigation. But they have said that the violence was touched off when an uninvited group, presumed to be the Cossacks, showed up at a meeting of a larger confederation of motorcycle clubs dominated by the Bandidos. In several interviews in recent days, the Cossacks rider offered a different story. He said the Cossacks were invited to the Twin Peaks patio that day — by a Bandido leader, who offered to make peace in a long-running feud between the two gangs. That invitation was a setup for an ambush, though, according to the Cossack. That’s why the dead included six Cossacks, one Scimitar (an ally of the Cossacks) and only two Bandidos. The biker’s story could not be independently verified; most of those involved in the shootout are still in jail. But significant parts of his account square with police statements, as well as security camera videos obtained by The Associated Press. The biker culture has unwritten rules that everybody in its world knows and has predictable consequences for stepping out of line. So when a biker from the Bandidos, the oldest gang in Texas and one of the largest in the world, ran into a young Cossack in the Twin Peaks parking lot last Sunday, everyone knew what was coming. First words, then fists, then guns. Within seconds, Richie, Diesel and Dog were dead. “I took off,” the Cossacks rider said. “I got out of there. I didn’t have a weapon. I couldn’t fight anybody.” At odds for years It started with a phone call. About a week before the gunfight, according to the Cossack, a leader of the Bandidos, a man named Marshall from East Texas, contacted Owen Reeves, the “nomad,” or leader, of the Cossacks’ Central Texas region. The two gangs had been at odds for years. The Bandidos consider themselves the big dogs of the Texas biker world, and other gangs — or clubs, as they prefer to be called — generally don’t cross them. The Bandidos wear their claim to the Lone Star State on their backs.

  • A Comparative Study of Apparel Shopping Orientations Between Asian Americans and Caucasian Americans
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Shan-Hsin, Angie. Ho for the degree of Master of Science in Apparel. Interiors, Housing and Merchandising presented on February 5. 1991 Title: A Comparative Study of Apparel Shopping Orientations between Asian Americans and Caucasian Americans Abstract approved:.Redacted for Privacy V /Gi1OL y 1. UL cacti a Very little empirical research has been conducted on Asian Americans as a whole in relation to their consumer behavior, specifically their clothing behavior. A review of literature demonstrated that Asian Americans have been studied from different psychographic and sociological aspects. However, the apparel shopping behavior of this market has received only slight research attention. The purpose of this study was to compare Asian Americans and Caucasian Americans with regards to apparel shopping orientations. This study also examined the relationship between apparel shopping orientations and intensity of ethnic identification among Asian Americans. The multimediation model of consumer behavior (EKB model) proposed by Engel, Kollat and Blackwell (1973) was used as a theoretical framework for the present study. Based on the EKB model, it was expected that people of different cultural backgrounds were different in terms of their consumer behavior. Another conceptual framework used in the present study was the concept of shopping orientations, introduced by Stone (1954). Apparel shopping orientations refer to motivations, interests and attitudes toward apparel shopping. Seven shopping orientations were selected for the present study. They were: economic shopping, personalizing shopping, recreational shopping, social shopping (including friend social shopping and family social shopping), brand loyal shopping, impulse shopping and fashion orientations. The fashion orientation included four factors: fashion leadership, fashion interest, fashion importance and anti- fashion attitude.

  • North American Artists' Groups, 1968–1978 by Kirsten Fleur Olds A
    Networked Collectivities: North American Artists’ Groups, 1968–1978 by Kirsten Fleur Olds A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History of Art) in The University of Michigan 2009 Doctoral Committee: Professor Alexander D. Potts, Chair Professor Matthew N. Biro Associate Professor Rebecca Zurier Assistant Professor Kristin A. Hass © Kirsten Fleur Olds All rights reserved 2009 To Jeremy ii Acknowledgments This dissertatin truly resembles a “third mind” that assumed its own properties through collaborations at every stage. Thus the thanks I owe are many and not insignificant. First I must recognize my chair Alex Potts, whose erudition, endless patience, and omnivorous intellectual curiosity I deeply admire. The rich conversations we have had over the years have not only shaped this project, but my approach to scholarship more broadly. Moreover, his generosity with his students—encouraging our collaboration, relishing in our projects, supporting our individual pursuits, and celebrating our particular strengths—exemplifies the type of mentor I strive to be. I would also like to acknowledge the tremendous support and mentorship provided by my committee members. As I wrote, I was challenged by Rebecca Zurier’s incisive questions—ones she had asked and those I merely imagined by channeling her voice; I hope this dissertation reveals even a small measure of her nuanced and vivid historicity. Matt Biro has been a supportive and encouraging intellectual mentor from my very first days of graduate school, and Kristin Hass’sscholarship and guidance have expanded my approaches to visual culture and the concept of artistic medium, two themes that structure this project.

  • Culture Clash and Critical Race Theater
    REMEMBERING CHAVEZ RAVINE: CULTURE CLASH AND CRITICAL RACE THEATER DAVID G. GARCIA* I. EXAMINING CHICANAIO HISTORY, THEATER, AND 1 CRITICAL RACE THEORY It's revisionist history ... It's claiming that we're here. We're part of American history or world history. And it's also re- claiming the other side, the other point of view ... In Chavez Ravine, we take the point of view of the residents. They're the heroes, you know. We don't take the point of view of let's say the developer. We already know that issue. It's been written about. (Herbert Siguenza, 2004)2 The Taper stage certainly isn't a classroom, but we feel a great responsibility with this piece to get the facts right, because the collective memory of a community is a precious thing.

Rev. 577 (1983). Available at: https://digitalrepository.unm.edu/nmlr/vol13/iss3/2 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by The University of New Mexico School of Law. For more information, please visit the New Mexico Law Review website: www.lawschool.unm.edu/nmlr SECOND THOUGHTS ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT* ROBERT M. O'NEIL** Some five years ago, the Albuquerque Public Schools responded to a citizen complaint by removing all copies of Little Black Sambo from the library shelves.' This extraordinary action reflected school officials' def- erence to the sensitivities of Black residents of the city, to whom "Sambo" had long been offensive. Since that time, school librarians report an especially rigorous review of works that may be either "sexist" or "racist" in tone or content, although no other titles appear to have been removed for this reason. Library censorship and book removal have, for the most part, reflected pressures of a quite different sort-pressures from conservative groups rather than minority or women's groups. Yet the pressures which brought about the Albuquerque removal of Little Black Sambo are not unique. Indeed, such pressures represent a wholly different facet of the censorship issue, a neglected dimension deserving of substantially more scholarly attention than it has yet received. The theme of this article may be imperfectly stated as the mounting tension between two constitutional values: freedom of expression on the one hand, and freedom from discrimination on grounds of race, religion, sex, or nationality on the other hand.

  • CHAPTER 12 Surveying the Borders ‘Authenticity’ in Mexican-American Food Packaging, Imagery and Architecture
    CHAPTER 12 Surveying the Borders ‘Authenticity’ in Mexican-American Food Packaging, Imagery and Architecture Nicolas P. Maffei Studies of food as a global phenomenon have usually focused on two processes: the blanding of local food cultures, and resistance through reassertion of the local (Bell and Valentine 1997). Exploring the former, this chapter draws on a number of fields from across the humanities and social sciences, including Architectural History, Food History, Latin American Studies, Cultural Studies, and Sociology, to demonstrate that a blended methodology is necessary to understand transculturation in design and the ways in which it is socially embedded (Ortiz 1995 [1947]). The analyses reviewed include writing on tamale advertisements, tortilla chip packaging, the architecture and signage of global fast food chain Taco Bell, and the interiors of local ethnic restaurants, spanning the late nineteenth to the late twentieth centuries. All the studies explore the ideological implications of representation and most evidence a cultural imperialism where symbols of Mexican identity were appropriated and transformed for a North American Anglo consumer. While these studies predominantly employ a narrative of top-down, cultural dominance, this chapter concludes by considering a number of investigations of ethnic restaurants from the social sciences where the social construction of ‘authenticity’ has resulted from collaboration between consumers and entrepreneurs. Thus, ‘authenticity’ can be understood as a co-produced experience where the exotic is mitigated by the familiar (Fine and Lu 1995; Gaytán 2008). This definition of the ‘authentic’ diverges from a humanities perspective that considers the inner self as ‘real’ and the performed self as ‘fake’, as well as the view that commercial values compromise the supposedly true self (Banet-Weiser 2012: 10–11).

  • From Conformity to Protest: the Evolution of Latinos in American Popular Culture, 1930S-1980S
    From Conformity to Protest: The Evolution of Latinos in American Popular Culture, 1930s-1980s A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in the partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences 2017 by Vanessa de los Reyes M.A., Miami University, 2008 B.A., Northern Kentucky University, 2006 Committee Chair: Stephen R. Porter, Ph.D. Abstract “From Conformity to Protest” examines the visual representations of Latinos in American popular culture—specifically in film, television, and advertising—from the 1930s through the early 1980s. It follows the changing portrayals of Latinos in popular culture and how they reflected the larger societal phenomena of conformity, the battle for civil rights and inclusion, and the debate over identity politics and cultural authenticity. It also explores how these images affected Latinos’ sense of identity, particularly racial and ethnic identities, and their sense of belonging in American society. This dissertation traces the evolution of Latinos in popular culture through the various cultural anxieties in the United States in the middle half of the twentieth century, including immigration, citizenship, and civil rights. Those tensions profoundly transformed the politics and social dynamics of American society and affected how Americans thought of and reacted to Latinos and how Latinos thought of themselves. This work begins in the 1930s when Latin Americans largely accepted portrayals of themselves as cultural stereotypes, but longed for inclusion as “white” Americans. The narrative of conformity continues through the 1950s as the middle chapters thematically and chronologically examine how mainstream cultural producers portrayed different Latino groups—including Chicanos (or Mexican Americans), Puerto Ricans, and Cubans.
