Tuesday round up - Happy spring st.

- In other parts of my life I am involved in politics. You can read about it www.brooklynforbarack.org . I encourge all of you, gentle readers, to get involved. Even if it's not with Obama, who should be the next president. I hope to upload the documentry I have been working on some time soon.

- Oded and Meghan have been overseas in Tel Aviv and Paris, I hope to have some stories and images from them. BTW Thanks for the mask Meghan!

- Peter "Douchebag" Vallone Jr. has once again screamed hystarclly about graffiti after adidas sponsered a graff related event the other day. "[It's] like posting a billboard calling on teens to break the law." Hmmmm, I would like to see that!

- Saif Azzuz, 19, who tagged under the name "Bart" or "El Barto," will also pay restitution to his victims, said Sonoma County Assistant District Attorney Diana Gomez. Prosecutors dropped seven felony counts in exchange for Azzuz' plea. Police said Azzuz, who was arrested in October, was a prolific vandal, tagging several hundred targets in the North Bay including private and public property. He will perform graffiti abatement as his service to the community and any money he makes will be donated back to the program, said Gomez.

- In response to a recent wave of vandalism and graffiti occurring on Saipan, Department of Public Safety Crime Prevention Unit is set to spearhead the latest Beautify CNMI! effort, unofficially called the “War on Graffiti.”

DPS will coordinate with student volunteers from Law Enforcement Explorer Program, Junior Police Officers, Drug Abuse Resistance Education, as well as community volunteers from Mariana Islands Nature Alliance, Seventh-day Adventist Church, and Friends of the Mariana Islands to paint over graffiti in public places.
