A study conducted by Edvantia found that teachers using the National Science Teachers Association's SciPacks professional development tool increased their own content knowledge and improved student learning.
Offered through NSTA's online Learning Center, SciPacks are interactive web-based modules designed to help teachers understand the science concepts they teach and how to present them. Each 10-hour-long unit provides narratives, simulations, assessments, and hands-on experiences. Mentors and advisors are also available via email for additional support. The study focused on nearly 60 teachers and 300 of their students in grades 5, 6 and 8 in the Houston Unified School District. The teachers used the Earth's Changing Surface and Force and Motion SciPacks. It looked at how much the teachers used the SciPacks, the impact on their efficacy, instructional practices, and teacher and student understanding in earth science and force and motion.
The study found that teacher knowledge of earth science increased by approximately 17 percentile points, compared to only eight for the control group. The force and motion scores also improved by 16 percentile points, while the control group's scores went up five points.
The students showed similar gains in knowledge, with those in fifth grade improving 17 percentile points on the earth science assessment compared to less than 12 points in the control group. The sixth- and eighth-graders who studied force and motion raised their scores by 10 percentile points, while the control group's scores only went up by two.
A Resources and Human Impact SciPack is currently available for free, though others cost $31.99 for NSTA members and $39.99 for nonmembers.
The study is available at the NSTA Learning Center. More information about SciPacks is available at learningcenter.nsta.org.

Our ratings of Malaysia (including the islands) Lucy gives it a 8/10 overall with a 9/10 for the beauty and tranquility of Langkawi along with the cheapness and great food across all of Malaysia but a 7/10 for Kuala Lumpur as other cities may have more to offer!

Of course I had to wait for the shaking to stop. I felt like I was holding on for dear life. Liza slept on.

I'm getting seriously bored of Twitter. You just know that when "Dave" the Prime Minister joins something then it's pretty much time to go home. It's actually been "over" for about a year now. I can't remember the exact moment when I thought "this is rubbish", but I probably tweeted the fact and, if I could be bothered, I could look back over my tweets and give you the exact time and date. I think the problem with Twitter is that the bigger it's got, the more twats you have to deal with.
But it's not just the newbies that are bad. Anyone who has built up a vast amount of followers hits some critical mass and becomes as dull as ditch water. They seem to work hard to get the followers by being subversive or shocking or, God forbid, honest. Something, however, seems to happen the moment they hit the million mark. An unbearable smugness descends on their tweets and #sycophancy becomes the order of the day.
Celebrity Twitter is now just a petty place for bored egos. Dullards like Lewis Hamilton "diss" Jenson Button for unfollowing him, only to then find out that Button had never followed him in the first place. Meanwhile overpaid and under-educated footballers use the medium to slag each other off on their gold-plated keyboards. Every "Twat spat" is lapped up by a lazy media who seem to use Twitter as the source for 90 per cent of showbiz news.
I used to enjoy the odd Twitter spat with a racist or moronic follower but I have given up the ghost. It's like some weird zombie film in which, if you manage to behead one, a hundred more take its place. I've had some successes – I got one guy fired when he tweeted me to wish that my children got cancer. Unluckily for him he sent the tweet from his work address so I just retweeted it to his boss.
Most of the time, however, I used to spend my days correcting the grammar of those insulting me. "Your fat, your not funy, your reely shit …" It seems more than a coincidence that almost all online morons are … morons. I have yet to find a single troll who can use "your" and "you're" properly.
So one day I decided enough was enough. I stopped reading Twitter, and I got my life back. Now I occasionally post something informative, but I don't read anything back and I am one hundred times happier.
For this, you see, is the secret to Twitter. Ignore it. I abhor the trolls who spend their lonely lives trying to upset people by saying the most revolting/antisocial/shocking things, but I also think that things are rocketing out of control when someone who puts up anything offensive is charged and ends up in court. This only encourages the single-cell keyboard organisms that can only heavy breathe through the oxygen of publicity. The golden rule on Twitter is "don't feed the trolls". By simply not being read, they become invisible and irrelevant. They become lonely people writing abuse and throwing it out of their dungeon windows (do dungeons have windows?) and into the wind hoping that someone will read it and notice them. Don't fan the flames. Tune out, drop out.

We bought this freezer two months ago, in large part so we could prepare food in advance and freeze it; our regular freezer space is quite small. The freezer works great and has plenty of space. One small downside, though I don't know if there's a way to fix the problem, is that the space is somewhat difficult to use. There are two baskets provided that help with organization. But otherwise it seems difficult to efficiently utilize all of the space, since to use the space you need stack many items. But then to take something out you need to reach underneath many nearby items. I'm not sure if there is a better way to do this. One reason we purchased this model instead of other models was because it comes with a safety lock. With a toddler around the house, we didn't want to worry that someone could climb into this.

[...] The real trouble began when I stocked the unit with some items including a case of ice cream sandwiches. I noticed that the interior of the unit didn't seem as cold as it should be so I pulled it out and found the thermostat and turned it to it's coldest setting. Two days later the ice cream was mushy and the frozen pizzas were soft! [...] I guess quality control at GE in Louisville, KY is not getting much priority these days. The appliances plant must be on the block and cost cutting the priority IMHO.

Looks Nice runs good accurate temp
By toter
from Colorado, United States
After reading some of the reviews, especially regarding failure of the freezer, and the consumer having no knowledge of failure until one opens the lid and smells rotting food, I am really disappointed. My previous 5 year old freezer died one summer and I lost $200-$300 of food. I figured by now that a power light would be a mandatory requirement for all freezers. When I purchased this freezer I dropped down in size form a mfg who had this feature but never checked on the one I bought. My fault. Use my mistake to your benefit. Make sure your freezer has a power light

I bought this to make a keezer for my home brewing. It works great. I put a collar on it and it still keeps the cold very well. It was a little loud when I had it in the dining room. It's in the garage now and keeps steady temp without consistently running.

Tennis: Jankovic first of big guns to fall
RAFAEL NADAL and Kim Clijsters swept into the Australian Open third round yesterday as Serbia's Jelena Jankovic became the first top-10 player to exit the tournament.
After three days of scares but no upsets at Melbourne Park, former world No 1 Jankovic, the seventh seed, was dumped out 7-6 6-3 by Chinese upstart Peng Shuai. There were also wins for Robin Soderling, Andy Murray, Vera Zvonareva and Sam Stosur as the top 15 men and top 14 women, with the exception of Jankovic, marched into the last 32.
Nadal quickly resumed normal service at the very top of the game after Roger Federer's scare on Wednesday with a 102-minute, 6-2 6-1 6-1 battering of world No 116 Ryan Sweeting on a bright, warm morning.
The world No 1 eased to his 23rd successive victory at a major at the Rod Laver Arena as he continued his pursuit of a fourth Grand Slam title in a row, a feat achieved by only two men before him. If the gap between Nadal and Federer and the rest of the top-10 is wide, there is a chasm separating the Spaniard from players outside the top 100.
Nadal married his usual muscular aggression with a fully functioning serve to set up a third-round meeting with local teenager Bernard Tomic, who registered a minor shock by beating 31st seed Spaniard Feliciano Lopez 7-6 7-6 6-3.
Clijsters' 6-1 6-3 victory over world No 62 Carla Suarez Navarro was so straightforward that the highlight came afterwards when the third seed harangued the courtside interviewer over a text message he had sent to another player.
"You said you thought I was pregnant!" she told former Grand Slam doubles champion Todd Woodbridge. "The text said: 'She looks really grumpy and her boobs look bigger'."
The three-time US Open champion denied she was expecting a second child, laughing as Woodbridge cringed in embarrassment and declared his television career over.
Men's fourth seed Soderling registered a comfortable 6-3 7-6 6-1 win over Gilles Muller in the afternoon and fifth seed Murray joined him in the next round with a 6-1 6-3 6-3 pummelling of Illya Marchenko in the evening.
Murray kept his cool and picked his shots as his Ukrainian opponent stormed around a noisy Margaret Court arena fists pumping, the Scot sealing his victory with a thumping serve after two hours.
"There were parts of the match that were tight," Murray said afterwards. "But I played well. I served well when I needed to really. That was the difference."
The Briton, Swede Soderling and Novak Djokovic form the second rank of men's tennis, snapping -- ineffectively for the most part -- at the heels of Nadal and Federer.
Argentinian Juan Martin Del Potro, the 2009 US Open champion, was with them before a wrist injury wrecked his 2010 season and yesterday he showed some glimpses of why.
Playing only his fifth match since his fourth-round exit here last year, Del Potro took former finalist Marcos Baghdatis to four sets before succumbing 6-1 6-3 4-6 6-3.
Jankovic blew a 4-1 first-set lead and racked up 39 unforced errors as she slumped to her seventh defeat in her last eight matches against Peng.
"As a top player -- I've been No 1 in the world -- it's tough to sometimes accept those mistakes," a despairing Jankovic said. "Really at times I couldn't believe I can do that, why am I doing that?"
Stosur kept alive her hopes of ending Australia's 33-year drought without a home-grown champion when she thrashed Vera Dushevina 6-3 6-2 at a packed Rod Laver Arena.
"You don't have these days every day," said the fifth seed, "so you've got to enjoy them when they come."

Nissan has begun distributing 400 free, electric car chargers to various cities in Europe that can charge the Nissan Leaf to 80% in 30 minutes. The chargers meet the requirements set by CE and TUV and can charge any compliant electric car, not just the Leaf. The charging units recharge the vehicles at 400v of DC power. The chargers will be at airports, rest stops and large retail areas. There will also be a corridor of the units along the route from Paris to Amsterdam.
Nissan is allowing companies to produce the charging units under contract to increase production capacity, and it claims that it will have over 1000 units installed throughout Europe within the next two years. The units cost less than €10,000.
"This is a huge first step in the creation of a European quick charge network, which will open up electric vehicle ownership to many more people. We are creating an infrastructure which can be used by any ChadeMo compliant vehicle, not just Nissan LEAF owners. These chargers are also compatible with our Alliance partner Renault's AC 43kW fast charging system for future network expansion," said Nissan Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Paul Wilcox.

Nox System Uses RFID to Catch a ThiefThe Nox system integrates RFID readers with surveillance cameras to automatically create video records when monitored items are moved. The system was originally developed for the FBI and is now available commercially.
Mar 30, 2008—This article was originally published by RFID Update.
March 30, 2008—RFID is widely used to provide visibility of inventory and assets. It is also providing visibility for thieves, as part of an unattended surveillance system. The Nox system developed by SimplyRFID of Warrenton, Virginia, integrates RFID with surveillance cameras to create a video record of objects being stolen. Organizations apply RFID tags to assets and files they want to protect. RFID readers automatically detect when the objects are being moved and trigger the video camera to record the activity. The system can automatically send alerts by cell phone or pager if a tagged object is moved. "Theft is a real problem, even for small companies," SimplyRFID president Carl Brown told RFID Update. "People want to stop and catch theft. They're finding a lot of value in this system for doing that." Nox systems are often installed in situations where employee theft is suspected. Nox tags can be unobtrusively installed on objects as small as a pen and are often undetectable to the naked eye. Gen2 passive RFID is usually used, but other types of RFID, including long-range technologies, are also available. Objects movements are recorded, time stamped, and archived, to provide a solid video record of activity. Organizations also use Nox to locate misplaced items by consulting video records to determine the object's last known location. SimplyRFID originally developed the Nox system for use by the FBI and has since started marketing it commercially. It is targeted to four broad applications:
A Nox system at one company helped catch an employee who was stealing by using the shipping department to send goods to outside addresses, where he would retrieve them later. One such shipment was returned because it had an incorrect shipping address. The company opened the returned package, discovered its stolen goods, then used its Nox records to discover who sent the package. Companies typically install Nox to monitor their shipping departments and dock doors, according to Brown, who noted the system can also be used to collect data and record shipments. "Organizations can use it to do more than catch crooks," he said. "But, in general they're using it to catch crooks." Pfefferkorn Spedition, a German freight forwarding company, uses a similar system, albeit with active RFID technology, to record goods leaving its warehouse (see RFID Triggers Video Surveillance for Freight Tracking). The Nox system is also similar in functionality to some of the applications being tested at the University of Washington to measure RFID's usefulness for locating lost items (see University Launches RFID People Tracking Experiment).

NS Bikes Decade Frame 2014The Decade is a high end alloy hardtail thats proved itself in various applications. The frame was not only used by dirt jumpers who prefer the feel of alloy frames but also by 4X racers and pump track riders. The name is not a coincidence as it's now 10 years since NS launched their first steel hardtail. We all know that steel is great, but many riders simply prefer the looks and feel of big rigid tubes. The frame shares many of the tubes and the same style as the NS Soda full suspension frames. It features a removable ISCG mount (included), removable derailleur hanger (included), headtube to fit semi integrated headset, and is designed to work with forks from 100 - 140mm of travel. The frame is incredibly strong yet still very light at just over 2.1kg. The Decades geometry is based on the Majesty Dirt and just like their flagship steel hardtail, the Decade also features sweet arched seat stay bridges to give lots of tyre clearance.Features: Materia

Iron Brew
Sat., Aug. 3, 4-8 p.m. 2013
Baseball has the World Series, football has the Super Bowl, and Charleston brewers have the Iron Brew competition. The second annual competition will take place on Saturday with more than 50 teams competing to be crowned the "People's Choice Winner." And for good reason, since the winner gets their brew produced by Holy City Brewing and tapped at the local Mellow Mushroom joints in October. Iron Brew started as a collaboration between Holy City Brewing and Mellow Mushroom's downtown location, which also originated the 100 Beer Club. "The Iron Brew Competition has been a fun way to be a part of a great community of home brewers.," says Chris Brown, one of the owners of Holy City Brewing. Proceeds will be donated to the Gavalas-Kolanko Foundation, which provides college scholarships to students with physical disabilities. The admission fee grants beer lovers drink tickets for sampling and a vote for their favorite brewer. They've had three months to perfect a recipe for any style of beer using a combination of rosemary, lavender, coriander seed, and basil. Weigh Station will provide live music, and Mellow Mushroom will be serving up the pizza.

A new solo transatlantic record on the eve of the opening ceremony for the Olympic Games has been set by Alex Thomson. He crossed the finishing line in his 60-foot Hugo Boss at The Lizard, off Cornwall having covered the 2,800 miles from Ambrose Light New York in 8d 22h 8m.
This beat Switzerland's Bernard Stamm's record, set in Armor Lux and which has stood for 10 years, by over 24 hours.
"When I set off, I had no idea if I was going to be able to do it, and it has been hard," said a jubilant Thomson. "Lack of sleep, broken instruments, and constant exposure to the elements have really taken it out of me."
His secondary aim was to finish in time to add to the celebrations of his backer Sir Keith Mills, deputy chairman of LOCOG (London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games) as the opening celebrations take place in London.
Thomson goes on to take part in the Vendee Globe, the singlehanded solo non-stop round the world race which starts from Les Sables d'Olonne on November 10.

I Don't Draw Like This
I know people who do this style really well. This was my first stab at this kind of broad color swatch way of doing a caricature on a Cintiq tablet. It was kind of fun to try on such a non-intuitive way (for me) of painting.
I'd like to try this style with real paint sometime.

It appears to be possible to manually remove advisory topics for the queue after the queue has been deleted using removeTopic, but this should not be necessary according to the documentation: http://activemq.apache.org/how-do-i-purge-a-queue.html Steps to reproduce (bug happens on 5.1.0 and 5.2.0): 1. Run TestSubscriber to create a queue named TestQueue. 2. Observe in JConsole that queue TestQueue and advisory topic ActiveMQ.Advisory.Consumer.Queue.TestQueue now exist. 3. In JConsole invoke removeQueue on the BrokerViewMBean with the parameter TestQueue. 4. Observe the queue TestQueue is removed, but the advisory topic ActiveMQ.Advisory.Consumer.Queue.TestQueue still exists. This also happens when invoking BrokerViewMBean.removeQueue programatically. There are no message sent over TestQueue in the steps above, but this also appears to happen after messages have been sent over the queue. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. | |

HANNIBAL, Mo. (AP) – Authorities believe that two people arrested at a northeast Missouri Walmart store may be responsible for thefts in three states.
The Hannibal Courier-Post reports that 46-year-old John Benson of Randolph, Minn., and 28-year-old Sonya Hernandez of Austin, Minn., were arrested Monday at the Walmart in Hannibal. Employees of the store told police they saw them concealing several items.
Police say the pair had an enclosed trailer in the parking lot that was filled with flat-screen televisions, entertainment systems, clothing and several other items believed to have been stolen from stores throughout Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota.
Both suspects are jailed on $50,000 cash-only bond. Neither had a listed attorney.

where to buy air gun??
Can some one please tell me where i can get an m9 blowback co2? And if there is any special airsoft stores in the GTA area in ontario please leave a website Thanks people Pablo
March 26th, 2009, 12:55 | #2 |
*looks around*
No one? All right, I'll do it. Sigh i feel like I'm taking my first steps in taking this- If you are 18 or over get age verified, then you will have access to the age verified restricted section of the site which will allow you to get access to private classifieds, and retailers which will be able to sell you what you desire. If you're under 18- wait a couple of years.

Red Wine & Adderall
The majority of c02 guns are fixed slide, however there are a few companies out there that make green gas guns that can use c02, however it will wear down the internal components at a much faster rate unless they are replaced with sturdier internals right off the start, unless the parts are reenforced fromt he start. Im sure there maybe one c02 out of the box ready m9 out there, but Im not sure who makes it or even if it does exist. Although Im sure theres probly one.
You may find it difficult to find a walk into style shop for airsoft in Canada, the majority of airsoft sales are done online. If you are interested, you may wish to look into this websites age verifacation system. Where if you meet the requirements you can gain access to a small list of retailers and this websites classieds section. Please read here for more info. How to Get Verified!

Air gun =/= Airsoft.
Air guns include pellet guns (which can cause bodily harm) AFAIK, and that is including Olympic style ISSF guns (eg. Anschutz 9003). If you want an air gun just walk into a hunting/outdoors store or Canadian Tire, they'll set you up. As far as airsoft goes, unless you're 18+ and verified there's no way in hell you'll be able to pick up the ones that you see most of us using.

Closest you can get to an M9 in blowback for an air gun is the Umarex Beretta PX4 Storm. It has nasty-ass blowback action. Gives recoil almost as strong as a .22 hand gun would.
As for airsoft, it's 18+. If you're 18, get verified. Otherwise, wait till you're 18.
March 26th, 2009, 14:56 | #8 |
thanks all i applied for verification and we'll see and the m9 blowback does exist im pretty sure crossman makes it but i could be wrong.
March 26th, 2009, 15:06 | #9 |
i found a link for the m9....but all suggestions welcome and thanks people http://www.007airsoft.com/products/htm/gas-kjw.htm
March 26th, 2009, 15:14 | #10 |
The M9 exists, but it's an airsoft pistol. There are assloads of different companies that make airsoft M9s in blowback. However, there's a difference between an airsoft gun and an air gun. You asked about an air gun, hence the responses you got.
March 26th, 2009, 15:16 | #11 |
i see so whats the difference between air gun and airsoft??
March 26th, 2009, 15:17 | #12 |
Air gun fires 4.5mm steel or lead projectiles at 400-ish feet per second and is made for target practice. Airsoft fires 6mm plastic BBs made for playing airsoft and shooting people.
If you're looking for a gun for gaming, then it's airsoft. If you're looking for something for target practice, then get an air gun. Airsoft guns are nowhere near as accurate as air guns.
March 26th, 2009, 15:35 | #13 |
Crosman does make CO2 guns, and a couple are even decent starter pistols for airsoft; but they dont make a decent M9 airsoft pistol with blowback.
To be honest if you want blowback you are better off with a propane/green gas pistol, as T7 said the ones that have blowback and run on CO2 are pretty limited and there have been numurous problems noted with those that do. |
March 26th, 2009, 15:38 | #14 | |
no you can't. there is 'faire' before, therefore 'verifier' has to be 'er'.(infinitive and not past participe). past participe would require that you use 'etre' instead of faire. and even then it could never be 'verifiee' which is a feminine form that has nothing to do here. my god. sorry for the off topic.
March 26th, 2009, 16:56 | #15 |
o ok thanks and is there contests or something in canada for airsoft i mean?

Eli Broad Reveals Details of His New Museum, Which May Appease the Skeptics After All
Inge Reist, director, The Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting, in conversation with philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad and founding director of the Broad museum, Joanne Heyler, at Central Library
Photo by Gary Leonard.
Thursday night at Central Library's auditorium, Ken Brecher spoke lyrically about the time "when Grand Avenue came to life" and "contemporary artists were celebrated for what they told us" about ourselves. Brecher, the anthropologist who once had to let a Shakespeare box set float away in a flooded Amazon forest and now heads the L.A. Public Library Foundation, meant right now.
Or approximately this time next year, when the Broad museum opens on Grand Avenue, across from MOCA and down the street from Disney Hall. It will feature art from Eli and Edythe Broad's collection, most made since the 1960s by Andy Warhol, Cindy Sherman, Roy Lichtenstein, Jean Michel Basquiat and so many others. There will be 200-300 works on view at a time, much of the rest stored in a second floor vault you'll be able to glimpse through glass as you ride the escalator up or take stairs down.
The museum will eventually have a subtly strange, see-through, honeycomb exoskeleton. Kevin Rice, project manager for the architects Diller Scofidio + Renfro, says there are places on the sidewalk outside where you can look through the wall and see all the way through to the sky above the ceiling. Though it's been mostly metal bars and beams for the past year and a half, it now has stairs, a freight elevator and most of its honeycomb skylight ceiling, enough of a form to show off.

So this past week has been an up-momentum-for-the-Broad week. Brecher was introducing a panel on which Eli and Edythe Broad appeared along with Joanne Heyler, who has directed the Broad Art Foundation since 1995 and will direct the new museum. Inge Reist, director at the Frick Collection's Center for the History of Collecting in New York, moderated. It's the first in the "Un-Private Collection" lecture series, a partnership between the Broad and Library Foundation that continues through the year.

Then, yesterday, the Broads opened up their in-progress museum to press for hard-hat tours. Eli, who turned 80 this summer, called the event together himself -- no need for anyone to introduce him. He commented, as he has before, about deciding "the best place" for the museum was "Grand Avenue, the heart of Los Angeles," while the clanging and buzzing of construction continued in the background.
Mayor Eric Garcetti took to the podium next: "For too long Los Angeles has not told its story to the world," he said. "Today, you have expressed the soul of this city," a soul that involves appreciation of sunlight and good architecture, it seems.
The Broads have been involved in the construction of other iconic buildings on Grand Avenue (MOCA, Disney Hall) and wanted a building that wouldn't "clash" with Frank Gehry's concert hall but "wouldn't be anonymous." The firm Diller Scofidio and Renfro's proposal fit that bill exactly, Eli said. They won the competition for the commission with this design that's meant to play with ideas of inside and outside and that, in architect Elizabeth Diller's words, has a "matte and porous" feeling in contrast to Gehry's "shiny and smooth" hall. The exterior veil is made up of fiberglass-covered white concrete shapes, made on site, the molds still there on the museum's third floor.
"It was a mixed blessing," said Diller yesterday, about winning the competition. "We were very nervous about getting involved with Eli -- Eli has been very involved in a way I have not seen before," though she clarified she wasn't complaining.

The way the building works now is this: Visitors enter through glass doors on Second and Grand, where the veil angles up, "like lifting the skirt a little bit," according to project manager Rice.
The first floor includes a visitor services desk, a 15,000 square foot gallery space for special exhibitions and an opening out to an in-progress plaza. Then you can take an escalator or cylindrical elevator up to the entirely natural lit third floor where work from Broad's collection will always be on view. While doing so, you'll glimpse into the vault where work is stored. You can see into it again at two points if you come back down using the futuristic-feeling stairwell.
"We made no effort to tweak the design [of the vault] to make it better for viewers," Rice said.
"A collection has a certain kind of structure," said Diller, "and it's important to remember that it's a collection," a thing accumulated by certain people, with certain aims.
Fittingly, the new event series that began with the Broads' talk on Thursday is titled "Un-Private Collection," referring to this private collection that is becoming increasingly public. Ed Patuto, the museum's new director of audience engagement, is organizing the series, and events will purportedly focus on how the personal and political interact in work by artists in the Broad's collection. (Art historian Katy Siegel and artist Mark Bradford discuss the pre-pop work of iconic Robert Rauschenberg in November.)

Thursday night, the Broads described their transition from collecting older art -- the first work they bought was a Van Gogh drawing -- to contemporary. Eli mentioned, as he often does, how much more interesting it is to talk to contemporary artists than lawyers and bankers.
"You also had better choices," added Edythe, when you collected "artists of our time."
Eli recalled going into the basement of Metro Pictures, a New York gallery, in the 1980s and seeing the early work of Cindy Sherman, whose slippery self-portraits they've been acquiring since. "We have about 130 works by her."
"More than anyone I think," said Reist.
"It's a lot of fun," replied Eli.

And Heyler explained the benefits of having the resources of a private foundation. "We're able to have the ambitions and goal of public exposure for the collection. . . while we can move very nimbly and quickly in the market," she said. The museum won't have a membership package or a development department.
"It will be well-endowed," said Eli more than once, better-endowed than any L.A. museum other than the Getty, and when Edythe mentioned MOCA members will probably get free admission, the audience spontaneously applauded -- had they announced, as they did Tuesday, that all admission would be free, the reaction may have been uproarious. Such good will is typical of almost-always-polite Library Foundation events.
Still, it contrasts the skepticism that often characterizes discussions of the Broad among artists, critics and other culture-invested, incredulous types. Sometimes, this skepticism comes off as stereotypical resentment: the have-nots harping about the haves.
But for the most part, these skeptics, at least not all of them, don't resent the Broads for bringing "Grand Avenue to life" with a new museum. It's that they get preoccupied with the ways money, power and influence shape which culture gets seen and celebrated.

Concerns in this vein stayed mostly below the surface Thursday evening, though there were some beautiful moments during the Q & A in which someone tried, very politely, to bring up something controversial.
The best one was this: After saying "it's just a privilege to see such extraordinary people," a woman in the second row mentioned she'd heard Vladimir Putin made the most expensive painting ever sold in Russia. Then she referenced the debate the exhibition of actor-artist Dennis Hopper at MOCA stirred up three years ago. "Is this really an artist or is this a celebrity who has become an artist, and therefore the work has value? What are your thoughts on the interrelation between celebrity and art?"
"We spent time in Russia a number of years ago," Eli said. "We visited artist's studios in Moscow and St. Petersburg, and we were impressed by some of these people who were not exactly popular with the regime. . . We also visited artists in Cuba at one time and elsewhere. So it's all interesting."
"We don't own anything by Putin," Edythe said with a perfect straight face.

The business venture is expected to start operating in the second calendar quarter of 2016
Singapore: Teva Pharmaceutical and Takeda Pharmaceutical has announced that the two companies have entered into a definitive agreement to establish an unprecedented partnership in Japan. The strategic move between the two companies will form a new business venture to meet the wide-ranging needs of patients and growing importance of generics in Japan.
Takeda's leading brand reputation and strong distribution presence in Japan combined with Teva's expertise in supply chain, operational network, global commercial deployment and infrastructure, and R&D, brings forward a new, collaborative business model in line with government objectives and ultimately serving millions of patients.
Subject to standard regulatory approvals, the business venture is expected to start operating in the second calendar quarter of 2016, and will offer patients and the healthcare system the portfolio of Teva's high-quality generic medicines and Takeda's long listed products. Teva will have a 51 percent stake in the new company and Takeda will have 49 percent.
The business venture will operate as an independent company with its own Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, and Executive Leadership team. Further details of the agreement have not been disclosed. Given that the deal will not become effective until April 2016, there is no expected material financial impact for both Teva and Takeda in 2015.
"We are delighted to partner with Teva to start the new business in Japan," said Dr Masato Iwasaki, president of Takeda's Japan Pharma Business Unit. "Takeda will further strengthen its initiative as a leading company in the Japanese pharmaceutical industry, leveraging our activities to lead innovation in medicine as well as supporting the new company's business."

This week at Stampin' Royalty it's a sketch challenge. Hop on over to SR to see what the Design Team has created. The ladies have done a fabulous job this week.
I pulled out My Digital Studio to create this card. I used papers and embellishments from the Celebrations Kit. I hoped to print it out and make a hybrid card, but my printer is not working well and I'm not too happy with the result. I did make the hybrid card, and you can find it at the bottom of this post, but I'm much happier with the digital card.Wednesday, November 24, 2010

Baby bunnies
So I was told that one of the bunnies that hang out in my back yard gave birth to four tiny baby bunnies, but that they all died. We think a hawk or an owl or a gremlin killed them. I never actually saw them. R.I.P, baby bunnies.

Maybe it's for the best. In only 3 years you would be approaching 30 rabbits. You might not have enough posies to feed them all.

(2010) Cognitive follow up of a small cohort of Huntington's disease patients over a 5 year period. PLoS Currents, 2. RRN1174.. ISSN 2157-3999 Full text not archived in this repository. To link to this item DOI: 10.1371/currents.RRN1174 Abstract/SummaryA small group of patients with manifest Huntington's disease (HD) were followed longitudinally to assess cognitive decline in relation to time from disease diagnosis. This article looks at performance on a range of computerised and pencil and paper cognitive tasks in patients 5 years post diagnosis, who were assessed annually for a 5 year follow up period. The almost universal cognitive decline reported in other longitudinal studies of HD was not replicated in this study. It was proposed that longitudinal follow up in HD is complicated by the varying degree to which different tasks are able to withstand repeated administration; a finding which would have significant implications on study design in future trials of cognitive enhansing interventions.

Renew-Reuse-Recycle: what we can do to stop or mitigate the effects of climate change.
We know our climate is changing, and that in this century we should expect that:
- temperatures will increase
- winter rainfall will get heavier, increasing the risk of flooding
- summer rainfall may reduce considerably, creating pressure on water resources
- sea levels will rise, leading to further coastal erosion and flood risk
In future, climate change will affect many aspects of our lives, our environment, our business and our public services.
We have to start somewhere - so why not where we live and work. At Sunshine Divers we recycle items and have provided specific bins to ensure these items are disposed accordingly. We have labelled the bins both in English and Thai for (Waste, Glass, Plastic/Cans). Let's all contribute to keep our Oceans and Land areas clean.

Liberation from the LIE
Archive for January, 2012
A beautiful post by my friend Steven Goodheart.
This my favorite e.e. cummings poem. Though it's been a friend for over 40 years now, it still makes my heart soar, "which is natural which is infinite which is yes!"
(If you are curious as to why a "Buddhst" blog would have posts with references to God in them, you might want to take a look at an earlier post, True God, True Buddha to get a glimpse of where I'm coming from.)
I Thank You
e. e. cummings
I thank You God for most this amazing
day: for the leaping greenly spirits of trees
and a blue true dream of sky;and for everything
which is natural which is infinite which is yes(i who died am alive again today,
and this is the sun's birthday;this is the birth
day of life and of love and wings:and of the gay
great happening illimitably earth)how should tasting touching hearing…

Reader Reviews
Five stars at Amazon.com.I am currently reading your book Liberation from the Lie for the 4th time. It is astounding. I want to personally thank you for such a marvelous product. This book ought to be standard repertoire in every school curriculum. J.D.
Very recently I was given your book, Liberation from Lie. I can't stop reading the book. Every word in the book is me and I have been able to see why I have been living my life with such a high level of stress, worries, fear. Liberation from lie is just wonderful wonderful and what the book says is absolutely correct. 100% agreement from me. J.P.
I came home and your book made my cry...So all the moods of the ego passed away and I let my anger, hunger for knowledge, my tears and lots of ironic humor in, totally and found out: I am alive!! And waking up. F.V.
With the help of this book's techniques, we heal the Wound and discard the False Self, revealing a true and deeper self of joy, love, and happiness. J.M.
This is not a Self Help book. It is a liberation-from-self book. My life has been changed with this new understand and I believe yours' will be also. S.B.
This will be my guide for the rest of my life. Thank you for your great book. Y.K.
I'd like to thank you for and congratulate you on your book. I've read through it now and feel that you've really diagnosed and articulated very accurately some (perhaps, the, at least in practical terms) key aspects of our present human condition and how to approach it. I would go so far as to say that at this point it seems to be the best 'model' I have come across
I can't thank you enough for the seed you planted. J.K.
You've done a great job on this book - I can tell that already. It hits me hard and in the gut. J.O.
I've been reading your book, Liberation from the Lie, and I find it revolutionary. A.
I'm about halfway through your book, Liberation from the Lie, - great, great read. Your book really hits home and, as you know, it's extremely difficult finding such powerful reads. L.R.
Been reading your book since you sent it. Brilliant! Spiritualist, pleaser, rebel, ha ha ha ! tons of images from the past as a child as a teanager as a parent. Images of my parents and my children. There is a sense of sadness, relief and undescribable joy! This hits me right is tne solar plexus. Thank you for this gem Eric. C.L.
If you want to understand what the word 'Natural' means as opposed to what the word 'Enlightenment' means, then read this book – If you want to know why you struggle, why you feel tense all the time. Why you do not feel at home anywhere… If you would like to even begin to understand why nothing fits for you, why the world feels so alienating then start here and do not stop. P.B.
First of all I want to say how your book "Liberation of the Lie" hits home to me. I'm amazed that you've been able to observe the mind this way and put your finger on the"LIE". J.D.
I wanted to tell you that this is the first book that I feel goes straight to the heart of the issue .. the core. K.B.
The basic message of this book is exactly what is needed in this crazy life: to realize our authentic and true selves free from the bondage of striving. This is a call to no longer live and act from fear, but rather from the presence of love inherent in our being. S.K.
Eric Gross has taken on a great challenge by attempting to liberate us all from our deepest held, most destructive beliefs and he has come up with a masterful book. S.G.
Are you ready to rise above the morass of conventional wisdom and discover a new way of understanding yourself, the world around you and what you're here to accomplish? Are you prepared to wake up and return to the heroic journey we are all called to? If you are `Liberation From The Lie' is the book for you! B.E.
Eric Gross shines a thousand headlights on your Fear-Self. Seeing the Fear-Self, and seeing who sees it, you might realize there is another approach to living life. J.K.
By far, one of the better, if not the best, "help" books I've read (believe me, there have been many). My opinion, his work is much more focused and accessible than what Tolle attempts to impart in the "Power of Now". R.K.
Eric Gross does a very creditable job of laying out a path for "cutting the roots of fear once and for all." I give it five stars - well worth reading and reflecting upon. J.T.
In many cases, there really is only so much you can say about the nature of reality. And we've read quite a few books that really aren't worth the time to review. So it is always a particular treat to read a book that approaches things differently or brings a message from a different angle. "Liberation from the Lie" by Eric Gross is one of those books. 10 out of 10 and ranked as the third best awakening book reviewed by the Enlightenment Dudes. S.C - The Enlightenment Dudes

Roger's Reputational Dilemma
As expected, Roger Clemens pled not guilty on Monday to charges of perjury, false statements, and obstruction of Congress. He is represented by two of the ablest white collar criminal defense attorneys in the country—Rusty Hardin of Houston and San Diego's Mike Attanasio. I know these men and their work. They are stellar lawyers.
The government asked Judge Reggie Walton to make Clemens surrender his passport in order to reduce the risk of flight. Honest. They really did. Give me a break. Walton didn't buy it.
It is generally assumed that Clemens could have taken five before Congress and was therefore foolish to testify and subject himself to possible perjury charges. I'm not completely convinced of this, since the activity Congress was investigating at the time appears to have been beyond the statute of limitations. How can you incriminate yourself by truthfully admitting to something that you can no longer be prosecuted for?
At any rate, Clemens appeared without a subpoena, so there was no question of him not testifying. His attorneys will be able to argue to the jury that he had everything to lose and nothing to gain by appearing and testifying. Ergo, he must have been telling the truth. This can be a powerful argument in skilled hands, particularly in front of a DC jury, but it is better not to be forced to make it at all-better not to be indicted in the first place.
Roger's dilemma is the dilemma of the client with exposure, even limited exposure, who cannot or will not do the prudent thing and shut the hell up. It is best not to testify under oath, or even talk to the government, if you face potential criminal prosecution. Just ask Martha Stewart. But some high profile clients cannot take the perceived damage to their reputations involved in invoking the privilege. Clemens had the example of Mark McGwire in front of him. McGwire's reputation was permanently and severely damaged by his refusal, on Fifth Amendment grounds, to answer a Congressional panel's questions.
I know, I know; the privilege protects the innocent as well as the guilty. But nobody believes that in television land. Had Clemens publicly invoked the privilege, he would have been scarred for life. And he is not some dime-a-dozen, $40 million bonus CEO. He is one of the immortals.
The reputational dilemma is not confined to high-profile clients or the decision to invoke the Fifth Amendment. As a prosecutor, I saw defendants refuse to take plea offers, including misdemeanors with no jail time, because they could not admit wrongdoing to a spouse or child. It is a reminder that the strategy and tactics of criminal defense work are not always confined to logical analysis. The human, emotional element is ever present.

11th Circuit Reverses on Failure to Give Good Faith Reliance Instruction
The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals reversed several convictions in the case of United States v. Kottwitz for failure to give a "requested special instruction to the jury on their good faith reliance on their accountant's advice."
The court stated: "A trial court is not free to determine the existence of the defendant's theory of defense as a matter of law; it is established by the defendant's presentation of an evidentiary and legal foundation and, once established, the defendant is entitled to jury instructions on that defense theory." (citations omitted)
The court also stated: "The defendant bears an "extremely low" threshold to justify the good faith reliance instruction and does not need to prove good faith."
Finally the court said: "The instruction is appropriate even where the evidence might lead the jury to conclusions that would not benefit the defendant because refusing the charge withdraws the point from the jury's consideration and a jury should be given the opportunity to resolve all questions of fact."
