[edit] Marjorie S. Arundel, International Conservation Leader
Marjorie Sale Arundel, born November 7 1902, was an internationally renowned conservation leader and horticulturist whose environmental crusades ranged from saving tropical rainforests to protecting the natural beauty of the Virginia countryside. In March 2000, Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands presented her with The Order of the Golden Ark, among the highest international conservation awards, for her "inspirational, catalytic work for nature conservation, both nationally and internationally."
A noted gardener, her work with the World Wildlife Fund and The Garden Club of America resulted in widespread cooperation among nations involved to stem trade practices threatening native tulips and other wildflowers dug from the wild.
With similar success, Mrs. Arundel in the last half of the 20th century took on tough new American environmental issues such as energy policy, pesticide abuse and protection of forests.
U.S. Senator John Warner of Virginia said, “Mrs. Arundel has been instrumental in preserving and enhancing the beauty of the Virginia countryside.” He recalled meeting with her in the 1980’s to save a 200-year-old oak tree scheduled to be felled for the widening of Route 17 in Fauquier County. In an effort to spare the tree, she met with Virginia officials who agreed to bypass removal of the tree. Today that “Loretta Oak” continues to be enjoyed by travelers through the county.
Kathryn Fuller, President of the World Wildlife Fund, called Mrs. Arundel “an inspiration to all of us who have been fortunate enough to work with her,” noting that she was instrumental in getting the Dutch bulb industry to adopt an unprecedented bulb-labeling agreement, and in encouraging a pilot project in cultivation, rather than digging, of bulbs in Turkish villages.
Born Marjorie Sale in Mason City, Iowa, she graduated from Grinnell College. She lived for over 50 years with her family at Wildcat Mountain Farm, near Warrenton in Fauquier County. An exceptional artistic talent was reflected also in her many paintings and drawings as well as in the gardens she designed and built at her family’s home. Each detail of a Medieval herb garden, a Bible garden, and an outstanding collection of old roses was guided by careful research into ancient herbals and other garden books in her rare personal collection.
Both she and her late husband, Pepsi-Cola executive Russell M. Arundel, had a deep love of the natural environment. In the 1960's, they donated much of their own home land to The Nature Conservancy which preserves it today as a natural area.
Mrs. Arundel received wide ranging national and international awards for her achievements, including, the prestigious 1996 Garden Cub of America Medal of Honor for outstanding contribution to horticulture. Others include the Garden Club of Virginia’s deLacy Gray Memorial Award (1991), the World Wildlife Fund Award of Honor, the Garden Club of America Achievement Medal (1985), the 1995 Stewardship of the Land Award from the Virginia Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects, and the American Horticultural Society award for “Communicator of the Year” (1991).
In her 1996 award acceptance talk to the Garden Club of America, she said “We cannot with impunity take for granted this lovely, watered, temperate, pristine Earth and its life forms - - all as we revolve around the sun in the 200 degree below zero void of space safely clasped so far in the this mantle of life-giving atmosphere - - what an exciting ride!”
Mrs. Arundel had two children, her son and Virginia newspaper publisher Arthur “Nick” Arundel of The Plains, VA, and daughter Jocelyn A. Sladen of Warrenton, VA, eight grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.
She died at the age of 104 at her home in The Plains, VA.

[edit] Jef Bourgeau
Jef Bourgeau is one of the great minds in today’s art. He is the ultimate fabulist, challenging all our assumptions about art. There is not one Jef Bourgeau but many. Not only has he adopted several modernist and more recent idioms in quick succession, but he has also invented several contradictory personae. Bourgeau has presented himself as artist and art dealer, conceptualist and craftsman, pragmatist and dreamer, bully and recluse.
Throughout his career Bourgeau has fashioned his own identity as one might manipulate an artistic medium, drawing on a fundamental model from his own generation, not so much preoccupied with the issue of identity as suspending it. Bourgeau exemplifies post-20th century theories of the self in which identity derives from an innate multiplicity that presents itself to the world in a shifting set of roles and exigencies.
His work is an on-going narrative yet without a story. Or, at the least, without resolution. There is a tension in his work that is relentless; like all great art, never entirely allowing the viewer the comfort of completing the imagery.
Bourgeau’s work has an allusive Duchampian wit, a Magrittian mystery, and a diabolic Swiftian mastery. Since narrative plays as a primary means of organizing people's lives and experiences, Bourgeau has created a long string of art narratives that some critics have described as superfictions. Other critics have suggested that his work is so far beyond what can properly be considered art, that they use the term “post-art” to describe it. Yet within all these definitions Bourgeau has set up a powerful negative logic, aimed to question the nature of art and art institutions. And, most profoundly, the culture that builds and decides such things. -- from The Art of Jef Bourgeau by Jan van der Marck -->

‘Shocking the bourgeoisie – it’s nice work if you can get it’ by Cheryl Miller, Reason Magazine, issue - January 2007, p.74-75; The idea that art should shock is by no means new. But the stakes have been raised so high that it’s now almost impossible to do anything shocking. It’s no longer enough just to plop a pile of feces on the museum floor. To shock the bourgeoisie these days, you have to combine the crap with racial slurs, as Jef Bourgeau did with Detroit Institute of Arts exhibit “Van Gogh’s Ear”. It included both a heap of feces and a Brazil nut titled “Nigger Toe”. And that was in 1999, God knows what would be necessary now.
‘The Invisible Artist’ by Jacob Hale Russell, The Wall Street Journal (p.3), Sunday January 1, 2006.
Some artists have come under fire for using pseudonyms. When Norwegian photographer Stig Eklund was revealed to be Jef Bourgeau, director of the Museum of New Art (MONA) in Detroit this year, dealers complained in the local paper about his misleading multiple identities. Mr. Bourgeau, also works as a Japanese abstractionist, Taki Murakishi, as well as under many other pseudonyms.
‘Visual Shock: A History of Art Controversies In American Culture’ by Michael Kammen, Knopf, 2006, p.299.
So intimidation and caution were very much in the air at the turn of the millennium. In November 1999 the new director of the Detroit Institute of Arts postponed indefinitely an exhibit that had been two years in the planning because it included potentially offensive pieces, such as a vial of urine from Serrano’s highly publicized “Piss Christ” and a work called “Bathtub Jesus’ featuring a doll wearing a condom. Also cause for concern: a pile of human excrement and a brazil nut labeled with a racial epithet. The very first installation, called “Van Gogh’s Ear,” actually contained specific reference to previous art world controversies. The principal artist affected, Jef Bourgeau, exclaimed to the Detroit News that “the 90’s is about shock.” Hadn’t the world heard?

[edit] Special Collections Service
The Special Collections Service is a group within the Central Security Service agency that is not officially recognized.
The Central Security Service was established by Presidential Directive in 1972 to promote full partnership between the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Service Cryptologic Elements (SCE) of the United States Armed Forces.
The specialized intelligence gathering capabilities of the Special Collections Service include:
- Clandestine operations involving surveillance and penetration of target facilities, including "black bag" style operations.
- Cryptographic side channel and key recovery attacks involving EMSEC and COMSEC specialties.
- Covert communication capture and relay of target information.
- Operation of Unmanned aerial vehicles for surveillance and perimeter penetration.
The combination of Central Intelligence Agency and National Security Agency resources are used to cover the requisite specialty skills tasked of this agency into a single clandestine intelligence organization that falls under director of NSA and secretary of defense oversight. Given the nature of post 9/11 counter terrorism strategies employed by the United States of America the operations of the Special Collections Service have experienced significant growth in scale and complexity.

[edit] ECRV (Emergency Communications Response Vehicle)
The ECRV, or Emergency Communications Response Vehicle, was designed and created by the American Red Cross to provide communications links between disaster relief operations and the Public Switched Telephone Network, the Internet and other public and private communications networks. They include an interoperability switch which allows agencies and the Red Cross to communicate with each other while using their own radio systems.
The nine base vehicles for the original design, Ford Excursions, were donated by Ford Motor Company; subsystems and components were primarily acquired through in-kind donations. The vehicles were extensively modified to add an 8.5KW alternator driven by the diesel engine (keeping weight down, thereby avoiding significant safety hazards), a 52' pop-up pneumatic mast capable of rotating while holding a large shortwave yagi antenna and which also has a video camera with telephoto lens for disaster assessment purposes, a VSAT two-way satellite antenna system, a one-way DirecTV DBS antenna, and sixteen HF, VHF, UHF, WiFi and microwave antennas feeding its radios and data systems. Second-generation ECRVs use a variety of other, similar, vehicles.
ECRVs are garaged in secure locations around the United States, and deployed when significant disasters require communication support. Training has a major emphasis on safety, as multiple severe injuries, amputations and fatalities have led from improper operation of similar television ENG vehicles. Fortunately, none of those include ECRV operators.
After training, ECRV operators are enrolled in the [Disaster Services Human Resources] system of the American Red Cross. Operators are called on as needed to drive the vehicle(s) to and from disaster locations and operate the systems until communications can be otherwise restored.
They have been used in multiple relief operations, including but not limited to Hurricane Katrina and the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season.

[edit] The At The Drive-In/Aasee Lake Split
The At The Drive-In/Aasee Lake Split is a 7" vinyl released in 1999. It is an important part of the history of At The Drive-In as it is one of their rarer works and illustrates an important part of their career as it bridges the gap between previous works (from Hell Paso until El Gran Orgo) and the more sophisticated work of their soon to be released LP In\Casino\Out.
The Aasee Lake side featured an instrumental song titled "The Dualistic Struggle Between Good and Evil Within Ticket Lines and Reality." Written in the winter of 1998, it was later recorded in spring of 1999 and finally mixed in the summer of 1999. It is credited as being designed by Jon Smith, Dave Cook, and Duncan Barlow; developed by The Aasee Lake and Kevin Ratterman at The Elliot Warehouse; manufactured by Nerdrock Records and Ghetto Defendant. Thanks credited to Kristen at Ground Zero and At The Drive-In.
The At The Drive-In side features the song "Doorman's Placebo". It is credited as being designed by Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Tony Hajjar, Paul Hinojos (mispelt on the record as "Pall"), Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Jim Ward; developed by At The Drive-In and Alex Newport at Messenger's Studio; mastered by John Golden.

[edit] Monroe's Uptown House
Monroe's Uptown House was an after-hours club in Harlem, New York City. Located at 198 West 134th Street, it was an unprepossessing basement club near the Apollo Theater, Small's Paradise, and the Savoy Ballroom. In the 1940s, Monroe's became famous for its jam sessions, which pitted established soloists against hungry up-and-comers like Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. Recordings from Monroe's, made surreptitiously with portable recording equipment, include jam sessions featuring Parker,including an early version of "Cherokee" (later recorded as "Ko-Ko").
