Octavio Ocampo was born on 28 February 1943 in Celaya, Guanajuato, Mexico. He grew up in a family of designers, and studied art from early childhood. At art school, Ocampo constructed papier mache figures for floats, altars, and ornaments that were used during carnival parades and other festivals. In high school, Ocampo painted murals for the Preparatory School and the City Hall of Celaya. Ruth Rivera, daughter of artist and muralist Diego Rivera, and Maria Luisa Mendoza encouraged him to attend the School of Painting and Sculpture of the National Fine Art Institute.

The talents of Octavio Ocampo are not limited to painting and sculpture, but also extended to acting and dancing. At the Art Institute of San Francisco, he studied all these disciplines and pursued both a film and theater career. In 1976, he began to devote himself solely to painting and sculpture.He now works primarily in the metamorphic style – using a technique of superimposing and juxtaposing realistic and figurative details within the images that he creates.

“I am fascinated by the forces of Good and Evil and the Sun (male) and the Moon (female). I live in Tepoztlan, which is a mountainous region southwest of Mexico City, and is considered to be one of the most magical places on earth. Like the Bermuda triangle, there is a strange and unexplained, but extremely powerful, confluence of magnetic forces seemingly concentrated in the Tepozteco Mountain.”

Works

Octavio Ocampo is one of Mexico’s most prolific artists.

Ocampo is known for several works in his sometimes wryly sardonic, sometimes evocative paintings in which detailed images are intricately woven together to create larger images - the optical illusions fading back and stepping forward as you study the pieces, notice the details, and finally recognize the large scale intention. This is what Octavio Ocampo terms his “metamorphic” style.

The Visions Fine Art Gallery in Sedona, Arizona represents Octavio Ocampo in the United States.

Several collections in Mexico contains his work, and individual works have been made for President Jimmy Carter (commissioned by President Lopez Portillo and was presented as a gift from the United Mexican States) , Jane Fonda, Cher (for the front and back covers of her latest album), and Cesar Chavez.

In operator algebras, the Toeplitz algebra is the C*-algebra generated by the unilateral shift on the Hilbert space l²(N). Taking l²(N) to be the Hardy space H², the Toeplitz algebra consists of elements of the form

where T_f is a Toeplitz operator with continuous symbol and K is a compact operator.

Toeplitz operators with continuous symbols commute modulo the compact operators. So the Toeplitz algebra can be viewed as the C*-algebra extension of continuous functions on the circle by the compact operators. This extension is called the Toeplitz extension.

By Atkinson’s theorem, an element of the Toeplitz algebra T_f + K is a Fredholm operator if and only if the symbol f of T_f is invertible. In that case, the Fredholm index of T_f + K is precisely the winding number of f, the equivalence class of f in the fundamental group of the circle. This is a special case of the Atiyah-Singer index theorem.

Wold decomposition characterizes proper isometries acting on a Hilbert space. From this, together with properties of Toeplitz operators, one can conlude that the Toeplitz algebra is the universal C*-algebra generated by a proper isometry; this is Coburn’s theorem.

Wisconsin Heights Battlefield is an area in Dane County, Wisconsin where the penultimate battle of the 1832 Black Hawk War occurred. The conflict was fought between the Illinois and Michigan Territory militias and Sauk chief Black Hawk and his band of warriors. Though the area is most significant for the battle, its history dates to far before Europeans set foot in the area. In the centuries before the war, the area was occupied by Mascoutens, Kickapoo and Miami. Those groups eventually migrated further south and were replaced by the Sauk and Fox tribes, who were fleeing their homeland following the Fox Wars. Today, the battlefield is managed and preserved by the state of Wisconsin as part of the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway. In 2002, Wisconsin Heights Battlefield was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, and is the only intact battle site from the Indian Wars in the U.S. Midwest.

History

Before the middle of the 18th century knowledge of the history of native tribes in area of Wisconsin Heights Battlefield is limited. Samuel de Champlain is said to have heard of native tribes living “many leagues beyond Lake Huron” during the 17the century. The group Champlain heard about was known as the “Fire Nation” or the “Mascoutens.” The Mascoutens, along with the Kickapoo and Miami were probably settled in the area around the Fox River and claimed much of the land to the south, including the battlefield, as their hunting grounds. Eventually, the Mascoutens, Kickapoo and Miami migrated further south along the shore of Lake Michigan.

The relocated Mascoutens were replaced by the influx of Sauk and Fox following the Fox Wars in the western Great Lakes and Detroit regions. After the conflicts, the remaining Sauk and Fox sought refuge together in lands further west, extending north from the Wisconsin River to the Illinois River in the south. Other settlements were established north of the Missouri River.

The area known as the Wisconsin Heights Battlefield was the site of the penultimate engagement of the 1832 Black Hawk War, fought between the United States state militia and allies, and the Sauk and Fox tribes, led by Black Hawk. The battle took place in what is now Dane County, near the present-day Sauk County–Dane County line. Despite being outnumbered and sustaining heavy casualties, Black Hawk’s warriors managed to delay the combined forces long enough to allow the majority of the Sauk and Fox civilians in the group to escape across the Wisconsin River.

An article in a September 1920 edition of the Madison Democrat described the battlefield as “beautiful and romantic.” Through the early 1920s the area remained privately owned. On a cloudless Labor Day, September 3, 1923, 500 people gathered at the battlefield for the dedication of a marker at the site. A four foot Bedford limestone marker was installed by a combination of the Madison Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), the Wisconsin Historical Society and the State Archaeological Society. The monument carried the following inscription:

WISCONSIN HEIGHTS BATTLEFIELD
Near this site the Sauk chieftain Black Hawk
and his band were overtaken by Wisconsin
and Illinois troops on July 21, 1832

For 30 years the DAR marker stood as the sole monument to the battle. The Wisconsin Historical Society installed a metal interpretive marker at the site in 1957. In 1989 Wisconsin Act 31 established the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway, a 92.3 mile stretch of the Wisconsin River which includes 79,275 acres from Prairie du Sac to the river’s confluence with the Mississippi River. The Riverway includes the Wisconsin Heights Battlefield, which is protected from future development because of its status as part of the Riverway. Historians continued to shed light on the Battle of Wisconsin Heights and in 1992 a new interpretive marker was installed. The site was dedicated by then-Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson in 1998 during Wisconsin’s sesquicentennial celebration.

Battlefield

At the time of the Black Hawk War the Wisconsin Heights Battlefield was a marshy area located in the hills along the Wisconsin River in present-day Sauk County, Wisconsin. The battlefield is located within the Black Hawk Unit of the state managed and owned Lower Wisconsin State Riverway, along Highway 78, about a mile south of County Road Y, south of Sauk City. There are trails, a historic marker and a parking area at the site. Though the area around the battle site does not include modern amenities, such as plumbing and toilets, the trails within the Black Hawk Unit of the Lower Wisconsin State Riverway stretch three miles over rugged terrain. One of the trails, the Wisconsin Heights Battlefield Trail, branches from the main loop and travels through the battle site.

The battlefield has three key areas affiliated with the clash that can be viewed at the modern-day site: “Militia Ridge,” where companies of Illinois and Michigan Territory militia formed up for battle; “Sharpshooter Lookout,” an overlook where Sauk and Fox warriors opened fire on the militia; and “Spy’s Ravine,” the area between the ridge and lookout. The whole of the battlefield is best viewed from Sharpshooter Lookout.

Significance

The area known as the Wisconsin Heights Battlefield is most obviously significant for the 1832 battle that occurred at the site. This significance led to its inclusion on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on January 31, 2002. The Wisconsin Heights Battlefield is one of five 1832 Black Hawk War battle sites listed on the National Register. The others are Kellogg’s Grove, Apple River Fort, Fort Blue Mounds, and Stillman’s Run. The Wisconsin Heights battle site is marked by an official Wisconsin historical marker. It is the only intact battle site from the Indian Wars found in the U.S. Midwest.

Harry Gordon Frankfurt
Professor Frankfurt
Born	May 29, 1929

Harry Gordon Frankfurt (born May 29, 1929) is a professor emeritus of philosophy at Princeton University. He previously taught at Yale University and Rockefeller University. He obtained his B.A. in 1949 and Ph.D. in 1954 from Johns Hopkins University. His major areas of interest include moral philosophy, philosophy of mind and action, and 17th century rationalism. His 1986 paper On Bullshit, a philosophical investigation of the concept of “bullshit”, was republished as a book in 2005 and became a surprise bestseller, leading to media appearances such as Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show. In 2006 he released a companion book, On Truth, which explores society’s loss of appreciation for truth.

Among philosophers, Frankfurt was for a time best known for his interpretation of Descartes’s rationalism, his account of freedom of the will (on which he has written numerous important papers) based on his concept of higher-order volitions, and for developing what are known as “Frankfurt counterexamples” (i.e., thought experiments designed to show the possibility of situations in which a person could not have done other than he/she did, but in which our intuition is to say nonetheless that he/she chose freely). However, his later work on love and caring is now equally discussed.

SmartEiffel is a free Eiffel compiler. It has been developed at the Lorraine Laboratory of Research in Information Technology and its Applications (LORIA), an institute affiliated to the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA), on the campus of Nancy-Université in Lorraine.

The project was initiated in 1994 by the French researcher Dominique Colnet. The compiler was then called SmallEiffel, in reference to the Smalltalk language. In 1995, the compiler was able to compile itself for the first time. In 1998, on the occasion of a visit to LORIA by Richard Stallman, the project became part of the GNU project. In December 2002, the project was renamed SmartEiffel and reached version 1.0. In September 2004, SmartEiffel reached version 2.0.

In May 2005, after divergences with the working group for the normalization of the Eiffel language, the SmartEiffel project announced that they would not implement the ECMA TC39-TG4 norm.

“War Crimes” is the 49th episode of The West Wing.

Plot

The President asks the reluctant Vice President to speak at an anti-gun rally in Texas after a church shooting, but the uneasy allies have a starkly candid showdown. The Vice President is not comfortable with gun control in general and being asked to condemn gun owners in his home state specifically. Though the two men spar on the issue, their conflict quickly boils down to A) Bartlet’s view that the VP ratted him out on the MS issue and B) the VP’s view that the President lied from the outset and misled him personally. The two men recognize the differences and agree to put them aside because, as they note, President Bartlet will not be re-elected without Hoynes on the ticket and Hoynes will not be President one day if he and Bartlet do not win re-election together.

Donna goes before a Congressional committee investigating Bartlet’s lack of disclosure. When asked by her inquisitor if she keeps a diary, she reflexively answers “no.” Clifford Calley, the lead counsel for the investigation, realizes she is lying: Donna and Cliff dated a few weeks back, and he saw the diary in Donna’s room after they slept together. Cliff follows Donna home and offers her a chance to confess, but she rebuffs him and turns to Josh for help. Josh is angry at Donna and angrier at Cliff, but brokers a solution that spares more public embarrassment for either of them.

Leo debates an old friend and Air Force officer about the United States’ future stance regarding the War Crimes Tribunal. The friend, an Air Force General, is opposed to the Tribunal because he is concerned that it will become an anti-American forum, and believes that American soldiers could be prosecuted under its authority. Leo argues that the tribunal will have a number of safeguards and is unconcerned about any potential threat to Americans. The General then reveals that, as a young pilot in Vietnam, Leo unwittingly committed a war crime when he bombed a civilian target that he had been told was a military target. Leo is horrified, and asks why the General would tell him such a thing. The General responds, “All wars are crimes”.

C.J. informs Toby that a comment of his that puts the President in an unfavorable light (saying the President would win re-election on the coattails of the VP) has been leaked to a reporter by a member of his staff. The reporter, who was just kicked out of Myanmar for exposing government involvement in drug trafficking, lets C.J. deal with the story before he does anything else. She tells Toby, and Toby surprises Josh by handling things maturely, calling a meeting of the staffers where he makes it clear that he’s very hurt but also that he respects all of them. The reporter later tells C.J. he’s not about to write a story on such a stupid matter when there are so many important events that should be investigated.
