Space Robot Battles
Organizers of the annual ROBO-ONE robot battles in Japan have announced plans to hold a robot fight in space by 2010. The competition, which is designed to increase the progress of killer space robot technology, will take place near a special satellite and consist of grappling matches between two biped robots. The robots must be no larger than 4 inches, and the whole competition depends on unsecured international approval, but I'm excited that there will finally be robots fighting in space. Unless the competition is just a front for a plan to steal service from the HBO satellite, which has been the secret goal of every space exploration mission since 1963.
Tomotaka Takahashi noticed the dominance of male robots in the industry and decided he'd create a female one, that not only looked female but moved in a feminine way as well. The FT (female type) robot was shown at New York Japan Society's Tech Epoch, where it struck poses à l... / Continue →

Hoist an electromechanical Olympic torch
Spectators at the Olympics will get a chance to touch the flame-bearing torch--a replica of it, that is. Instead of fire, the torches have a microelectromechanical system (MEMS), an accelerometer, and lines of LEDS embedded within.
By waving the torch, an internal sensor will determine the left and right points, while the MEMS measures the degree of movement and transmits the information to a microchip that activates the LEDs to display "in the air" preprogrammed words or images relevant to the Olympics.
This idea is not novel, and you've probably seen similar products in gift shops. But … Read more

Assessing the profitability of intraday opening range breakout strategies
Is it possible to beat the market by mechanical trading rules based on historical and publicly known information? Such rules have long been used by investors and in this paper, we test the success rate of trades and profitability of the Open Range Breakout (ORB) strategy. An investor that trades on the ORB strategy seeks to identify large intraday price movements and trades only when the price moves beyond some predetermined threshold. We present an ORB strategy based on normally distributed returns to identify such days and find that our ORB trading strategy result in significantly higher returns than zero as well as an increased success rate in relation to a fair game. The characteristics of such an approach over conventional statistical tests is that it involves the joint distribution of Low, High, Open and Close over a given time horizon.Download Info

Watercolor Hibiscus Envelope Seals I had the great pleasure of touring Oahu in 1986 and loved seeing red Hibiscus everywhere. The scent was divine and the colors so bright. Now I find the same flower in my favorite color, purple, and could not resist. I had been used to using Hallmark seals on my personal correspondence but now my friends and family will be able to enjoy seals of a different kind.
Watercolor Hibiscus Save the Date Magnets I ordered 125 save the date magnets and only received 100 envelopes with my order!! I had to go to the store and buy 25 more envelopes which was a huge inconvenience! It makes me wonder if my order was even checked before being mailed.

That's My Boy[4] is a 2012 American comedy film starring Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg. The script was written by David Caspe and directed by Sean Anders.
The film is about a man named Donny Berger, an alcoholic slacker who has a son named Han Solo Berger, but the son has changed his name to Todd Peterson due to the embarrassment his father has caused. Donny owes $43,000 in back taxes to the IRS by the end of the weekend, and will have to serve a 3-year sentence if he does not pay. Meanwhile, Todd is getting married to Jamie Martin
The film was produced by Sandler's production company Happy Madison and shot in the Massachusetts area.[5] It was released on June 15, 2012,[6][7] and distributed by Columbia Pictures.
The film received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics, it is considered as one of worst films ever made and was nominated for eight Golden Raspberry Awards, ultimately winning in the categories of Worst Actor and Worst Screenplay. It was a subject of controversy and criticism due to its comedic portrayal of pedophilia, incest, gerontophilia and statutory rape.[8] It is Sandler's seventh R-rated film for the Motion Picture Association of America. The film is widely regarded as a flop, with its box office gross of $57.7 million worldwide failing to reimburse its budget of $70 million.
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (January 2013) |
In 1984, 13-year-old Donny Berger begins a sexual relationship with his teacher, Mary McGarricle (Eva Amurri Martino). When the two are discovered engaging in sexual activity on a piano during an assembly, she is sentenced to a lengthy prison term where it is revealed she is pregnant. Donny is left to raise their son, whom he names Han Solo Berger.
In 2012, Donny (Adam Sandler) is an alcoholic slacker who spends his time with his friends, bartender Brie (Ciara) and stripper Champale (Luenell). Donny is estranged from his son, who, embarrassed by Donny's immaturity, has changed his name to Todd Peterson (Andy Samberg) and managed to become a successful businessman. He has recently arrived at the Cape Cod house of his boss, where he is to be married to his fiancee, Jamie Martin (Leighton Meester).
Donny learns from his lawyer, Jim Nance (Rex Ryan), that he owes $43,000 to the IRS in back-taxes and will be imprisoned for three years if he doesn't repay the money by the end of the weekend. He visits TV producer Randall Morgan (Dan Patrick), who had produced shows for Donny during his brief period of celebrity, and Morgan offers him $50,000 if he can organize a reunion with Todd and Mary McGarricle at the women's prison.
Donny arrives at Cape Cod to try to convince Todd to participate. Because he had previously told people that his parents had died, Todd introduces Donny as an old friend; Donny elaborates with a heroic backstory and, despite his extremely crude demeanor, quickly becomes well-liked by the others, at the expense of Todd's popularity. Donny tries to convince Todd to come to the women's prison to see his mother, without revealing that it is for a TV show, but he refuses. Todd fights constantly with Donny about his father's immaturity, both now and during his childhood. Donny admitted he was wrong for his actions and should've stopped himself. However, he didn't know how to be a father because Donny's own father didn't teach him how to be one.
After spending more time with Donny, Todd soon imitates his father's behavior, ultimately having the wedding rehearsal at the church cancelled by engaging in a fist fight with Father McNally (James Caan), the parish priest, accidentally exposing himself to be a theistic Satanist during the incident. Donny saves him from further embarrassment by convincing the in-laws to move the wedding rehearsal to a different location because Todd is still recovering from the explosion in a church that his parents died in when he was young.
Donny joins Todd and his friends at Todd's bachelor party, a relaxing day at a spa. However, Donny offends the employees and guests and eventually convinces the guys to attend a strip club where Todd bonds with Brie. The group gets drunk and high and commits various acts of debauchery. Over the course of the evening, Todd bonds with his father and agrees to meet his mother (Susan Sarandon) at the prison. Donny, knowing that a TV crew will be waiting, tries to stop the meeting from happening, but Todd goes to the prison anyway. Todd, Donny, and Mary are ambushed by the film crew and a disgusted Todd leaves without signing a release form, leaving Donny without any money.
Donny overhears Jamie on the phone saying that she has been having sex with Todd's boss, Steve Spirou. He tries to warn Todd, but Jamie comes up with a convincing cover story. Later, Donny discovers Jamie having sex with her younger brother, Chad (Milo Ventimiglia) at a hotel room. Realizing that she could lose Todd if Donny tells him about her sexual affair with both Chad and Steve, she pays him the money he needs in order to keep him quiet.
After receiving a conciliatory present from Todd, an oven mitt he used to cheer him up when he was younger, Donny decides that in spite of Jamie's hush money, he has to stop the wedding and teams up with his friend from his brief celebrity days, Vanilla Ice. At the ceremony he reveals himself to be Todd's father and rips up Jamie's check. He forces her to admit her infidelity to Todd. Jamie reluctantly does confess by whispering in his ear about her sexual relationships with both his boss and Chad. A disgusted Todd breaks up with Jamie and calls off the wedding. He then tells his boss that he quits his job, acknowledging Donny as his father and even taking back his birth name of Han Solo Berger.
The following day at the strip club, Han reveals that he is dating Brie and offers Donny the money to help pay for the unpaid taxes. However, he refuses Han's offer, stating that it's time for him to grow up and accept responsibility for his own actions. Donny is preparing to go to prison and rekindle his relationship with Mary, when a bet he placed wins him enough money to satisfy the IRS. The film ends with Donny and Han celebrating with the rest of their friends.

The film was originally titled I Hate You, Dad, and then changed to Donny's Boy before the producers finally settled on That's My Boy.[4][9] Filming began and wrapped around 2011.
A red-band trailer was released on March 1, 2012.[7] A green-band trailer was later released on March 5, 2012. On June 1, 2012, the whole cast sat down with MTV on the City Walk stage to discuss the film, their individual upcoming projects and also participated in a Q&A with the audience. The film was also promoted through the 2012 MTV Movie Awards, where Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, and Leighton Meester were presenters for Best Kiss.
A spoof trailer was posted by Samberg on The Lonely Island's YouTube account on June 1, 2012.[10]
The film opened on June 15, 2012, grossing $13,453,714 in its opening weekend, ranking #4 behind the second weekends of Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted and Prometheus, and the opening of Rock of Ages.[11] This was Sandler's worst opening weekend since Reign Over Me in 2007,[12] which had a significantly lower budget.
As of November 24, 2012, the film has grossed $36,931,089 domestically and $57,719,093 worldwide and failing to recoup its $70 million budget making it a box office flop.[3]
Critical reception[edit]
Reviews for That's My Boy were very negative. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a "rotten" score of 20% based on reviews from 112 critics, with an average rating of 3.4/10. The consensus states, "While it does represent a new foray into raunch for the normally PG-13 Sandler, That's My Boy finds him repeating himself to diminishing effect – and dragging Andy Samberg down with him."[13] Metacritic gives it a weighted average score of 31% based on 27 reviews, indicating "generally unfavorable reviews".[14][15] Online review show Half in the Bag called the film "pathetic", it went on to criticize Sandler as a comic, including his inability to create real humor that isn't based on childish jokes.[16] Bob Fishbach from the Omaha World Herald gave the film one out of four stars, saying it was "...worse than Sandler's previous stinker, Jack and Jill."[citation needed] Richard Roeper gave the film an "F" rating, calling it "an ugly, tasteless, deadly and mean-spirited piece of filmmaking," while Alonso Duralde gave the film a scathing review, calling it "vulgar, trite, sexist, misogynist, hacky, tacky, gross, sentimental and stupid, with occasional flourishes of racism and veiled homophobia thrown in to boot."[17]
The film has been criticized for its comedic portrayal of statutory rape, pedophilia, and incest.[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26]

Will Obama oppose cuts to HIV/AIDS programs in deficit reduction?
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney stopped short Monday of saying that President Obama would oppose any cuts to federally funded HIV/AIDS initiatives that would emerge in Congress as a result of the debt agreement.
In response to an inquiry from the Washington Blade, Carney said he'd have to offer a response later on whether Obama would speak out against cuts to HIV/AIDS prevention, drug prevention or research as part of the deficit reduction efforts as part of the debt agreement— or whether the President would voice opposition to such cuts in his recommendations to Congress on cuts to federal programs.
"I'm not aware of any specific cuts in that direction as part of this deal," Carney said. "I'll have to take your question because I don't think that level of specificity exists at this point. The fact is that we feel very strongly that research is essential and we'll continue to support it, but on this specific issue, I have to take your question."
The White House didn't respond in time for this posting in response a request for more details on whether the President would oppose any reductions to these HIV/AIDS initiatives.
The debt deal signed last week into enables President Obama to raise the debt ceiling by $2.1 trillion and eliminates the need for another increase until 2013, but also requires a total of nearly $2.5 trillion in spending cuts to reduce the federal deficit.
Advocates have expressed concern that the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program, AIDS research initiatives and AIDS Drug Assistance Programs could be among the programs on the chopping block — in addition to the services the Medicare and Medicaid provide to people living with HIV/AIDS.
The agreement calls for a first tranche of spending cuts that total nearly $1 trillion over 10 years. Those cuts include $350 billion from the defense budget, but the remaining cuts could impact discretionary HIV/AIDS initiatives. However, Medicare and Medicaid — as well as the services they provide to people with living with HIV/AIDS — are protected under this first round of cuts.
To institute more cuts, the deal creates a bipartisan panel that has become known as a "Super Committee" made up of congressional leaders and will be required to identify an additional $1.5 trillion in deficit reduction. Both Medicare and Medicaid as well as discretionary HIV/AIDS initiatives could be cut for this round of cuts.
Should Congress fail to act on the committee's recommendations, a trigger mechanism will be enacted for mandatory spending cuts. Those cuts — which would begin in January 2013 — will be split 50/50 between domestic and defense spending, although Social Security, Medicare beneficiaries and low-income programs would be exempt from those cuts.
In a statement at the White House Monday, Obama said he'd issue a recommendation to the "Super Committee" on the best path forward for finding $1.5 trillion in budget cuts, but offered limited details in his speech about his plan.
"I intend to present my own recommendations over the coming weeks on how we should proceed," Obama said. "And that committee will have this administration's full cooperation. And I assure you, we will stay on it until we get the job done."
The President said the U.S. government can't make much further cuts to defense and domestic spending and predicted the remainder the deficit reduction would come from "tax reform that will ask those who can afford it to pay their fair share and modest adjustments to health care programs like Medicare."
Carl Schmid, deputy executive director of the AIDS Institute, said Carney is right that the super committee "won't get down to that level for discretionary programs" for HIV/AIDS programs, but said the actions of the committee could lead to specific reductions to these initiatives later in the process
"The overall cuts will be decided and then the appropriations committees will come up with the details," Schmid said. "Also [we're] very concerned about cuts to Medicaid and Medicare which will also impact people with AIDS."
Schmid added that he'd like the administration "protect cuts to patients" by articulating opposition to reductions in federally funded HIV/AIDS initiatives in his recommendations to Congress and elsewhere.
UPDATE: Shin Inouye, a White House spokesperson, issued the following statement in the response to the Blade's request to follow up on the issue:
"The deal is a down payment on deficit reduction so that we begin to live within our means," Inouye said. "The nearly $1 trillion in discretionary spending cuts are achieved through spending caps both on security and non-security spending. Specifics about how these levels will be met will be determined through discussions between the Administration and appropriators in Congress over the coming months."

Susan Sarandon agrees Mitt Romney is 'Scrooge-like' on 'Joy Behar: Say Anything'
On Tuesday's "Joy Behar: Say Anything," Susan Sarandon was asked about Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, specifically the leaked tapes from the private fundraiser.
"I'm so entertained. I'm very happy he's so entertaining," quips the actress. But she continues in all seriousness. "I don't know if it's going to cost him, I think a lot of people agree with him, seeing things that way. I guess it'll mostly affect the swing voters. I think it's an interesting few days on the campaign trail to see how he deals with that, but I don't think that was really new information."
When Behar says it makes Romney look "Scrooge-like," Sarandon responds, "But that's what he is. But I don't think, listening to where he wants to spend his money, that he's very interested in education or the elderly."
Later, Sarandon finishes with, "I think right now things are so hard because of the administration, the Bush administration, that came in when ther ewas so much money and then went into these wars and everything else. People are trying to keep their heads above water so they hate the idea that someone's going to get a hand out because they're holding down two jobs."
What do you think? Does Sarandon have a point?

Relationships - Walking the Path in Companionship
by Armgard Traulsen
It was the last day of the 10-day Ganesh Chaturthi festival and Mumbai was steeling itself to say goodbye to its favourite deity. Standing back against the railing of my suburban train, happy at having found a foothold, my thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a burst of melody. Looking back at the seats behind me, I saw a small, thin woman, her face and form alive with fervour, magnificently invoking Ganesha through well-known Marathi bhajans in a trained mellifluous voice. Her companions sang with her, but so too, I noticed, did other passengers who didn`t know her at all. Finding a seat close by, they would listen transfixed and soon their lips would move in unison, even as they fiddled with their mobiles or closed their eyes in repose. I was witnessing a satsang in action.
In a small clearing among tall trees and verdant shrubs in Mumbai`s Hanging Gardens, I listen to my five women companions read from Sri Aurobindo`s Savitri. The power and beauty of the words offset the ambience, with the sun`s rays slanting down from the leaves and the birds chirping happily. On a chair, the framed pictures of Sri Aurobindo and the Mother look on benevolently. After the reading and meditation, comes the sharing.
Reema Seth, one of the principal organisers, whose father created this little sanctuary adjoining the Hanging Gardens, is a yoga teacher and she tells the others about a Yoga Nidra class conducted by an Australian. Anahita Sanjana, another Yoga teacher working at J.B. Petit School, invites the others to the dress rehearsal of a yoga ballet she is conducting. Much kissing and bussing later, the group disperses, each face wreathed in a smile.
In another part of Mumbai a motley crowd of women sit in healer and channel Kashmira Elavia`s drawing room, with their eyes closed, following her instructions to apologise to their hearts and other parts of the anatomy. That done, she asks them to love themselves. The women weave their arms around themselves and sway rhythmically as she takes them through affirmations. Occasionally, there is exultant singing of a pop nature: "I close my eyes and you are there. I open my heart and you are everywhere." The meditation is powerful and even I get under its sway. Eventually, Kashmira asks them to open their eyes and lo, it is party time. Dosas and tea are devoured and the members talk vociferously. Some of the younger ones demonstrate a dance step Kashmira teaches to improve coordination and consciousness, which soon dissolves into a bump and grind session. Laughter fills the air. These folks are having fun.
Another day, another satsang. This time at a school one early Sunday morning, where some 40 Vipassana meditators of both sexes have gathered. No word is exchanged as they enter, sit down and close their eyes to the sonorous chants of their guru, S.N. Goenka. After an hour, the guru`s voice sings: `Sab ka mangal
` and they open their eyes. Communion is always part of the post-meditation scenario, but especially so today, for they share breakfast on the first Sunday of the month. Over chutney sandwiches and poha, satsang happens. Tall and leggy yoga teacher (yes, another one) Falguni enthuses over the Vivekananda Yoga Kendra in Bangalore, while others ask the all-time favourite Vipassana question: "How many courses have you done?" Laughter bubbles out and there is a palpably good feeling as we come out into the early morning sunshine to return home.
What is a satsang?
Interpreted literally, `satsang` means a gathering of seekers (sangha) of truth (sat). This interpretation is so fluid and flexible that it can incorporate a teacher and student, a seeker communing with himself, to a group of people gathering together to discuss ideas, meditate, or do kirtan. Says Vedanta teacher Uday Acharya: "The heart of a satsang is the communication of spiritual ideas, so even an e-group fits the bill. Writing for Life Positive is also satsang!"
Traditionally, satsangs have revolved around a guru and his/her disciples. These are occasions when teachings and communion take place.
Sangham sharanam gachami-
partaking of group energy is one of the three refuges prescribed by the Buddha
Sometimes the guru gives discourses, sometimes he sits silently, and sometimes he breaks into song. What matters is his presence. Says Osho: "The Master is a presence; the Master is not a doer. The real Master never does a thing but his presence functions as a catalytic agent
That is the meaning of satsang: to be in the presence of a Master, in loving communion."
In today`s more spiritually liberal and adventurous climate, satsangs rarely stick to the straight and narrow path. There are groups who meet to channel or to learn automatic writing. Some gather to read books as varying as the Bhagavad Gita and Sri Aurobindo`s Savitri to New Age books such as James Redfield`s Celestine Prophecy, Deepak Chopra`s Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, and Neale Donald Walsch`s Conversations with God. There are groups who meet for personal growth through therapy, and groups with no fixed agenda, save to enjoy each other`s presence. There are chanting satsangs, meditating satsangs, and deep breathing satsangs. There are yoga groups, Vipassana groups, TM groups, Satya Sai groups, and Brahma Kumari groups. There are even socialite satsangs where sybarites wear saffron, partake of gourmet vegetarian fare and gather to sing bhajans and listen to discourses in jasmine-scented rooms.
Satsangs spread across all religions and faiths. Christians have their prayer and fellowship meetings where families gather to sing hymns, pray and read the Bible. Indeed, community (just another word for satsang) is the heart of Christianity. The practice gets its validity from Christ`s observation that when three or more gathered in his name, he would be among their presence. The Jains have the concept of swadhyaya, consisting of the study of scriptures in a group. Among the Muslims there is the concept of the majlis, held mainly in a mosque after the night namaz, where a speaker answers questions thrown to him by the audience. Sikhs are in satsang as they collectively listen to the holy scripture of Guru Granth Sahib or share the langar (community lunch).
Partaking of group energy is one of the three refuges prescribed by the Buddha. Apart from taking refuge in Buddha and dharma, the seeker is enjoined to take refuge in the sangha (Sangham sharanam gachami). In the Buddhist context, this traditionally means the company of ordained monks and nuns, but its symbolic meaning includes being in the presence of all realised masters, no matter what their persuasion.
The secret of its success
Why is satsang a key spiritual component? And why are there so many today?
One of the main reasons is the need for like-minded company. The lonely seeker often faces a period when he or she feels out of step with the immediate friend and family circle. Uncertain of his own changing perspective, desperate for validation and the need to confide the problems of the path, he sinks into the sanctuary of the satsang like a fish in water.
Says 18-year-old Diana Pagdiwala, a member of Kashmira Elavia`s group, which practises an eclectic range of activities from body work to psychic protection to forgiveness meditation every Friday afternoon: "We just wait for Fridays through the week." Adds Anahita Sanjana: "You can`t speak about spirituality to those you socialise with. Being with this group gives me the strength to continue on the path."
But even seasoned seekers draw precious sustenance from the experience.
Businessman Ashish Bagodia, who is part of a recently formed satsang of followers of Yogi Ramsuratkumar of Tiruvannamalai, says: "I have been part of many groups ranging from school and college friends to business friends and family and relatives, but I have never got from any of them what I get from my satsang. An emptiness gets fed. Last week, I was out of town, so one night we had an hour-long teleconference. We were on such a high that many of us could not sleep."
Manjiri Aggarwal, a schoolteacher and member of the Buddhist group Soka Gakkai, enthuses: "It`s a family beyond your own family. The bond is really strong because we have the freedom to share our happiness and our problems. We celebrate our victories over the self and get guidance on the path from our leader and each other. When in a group, you realise your own relative progress."
Exchange of spiritual ideas or insights, or simply being in compatible company, is naturally energising. Spirituality is the way to the life abundant and all seekers have experienced the excitement of meeting a fellow traveller who too is engaged in the tremendous and exciting task of self-transformation.
You are either going up spiritually or going down-there is no such thing as remaining in stasis. Satsangs reverse the process of entropy
Apart from the relief of knowing that one is not alone in this endeavour, there is the joy of sharing experiences, and exploring the insights and ideas that flower in this new territory. The joy of comprehending the pattern of life, of apprehending the laws that govern it, is enhanced in company that sees as you see. External factors like caste, community, sex and class recede.
Says Razia Rangwala, part of the Brahma Vidya meditation group run by Justice M.L. Dudhat, ex-judge of the High Court, Mumbai: "What I wear, my class, community and religion is not important. The relationship is pure."
Bagodia`s affluent business background is of no import among his group. He says: "They are a bunch of absolutely self-respecting individuals who don`t care who I am, which is very good for me. They don`t allow me to throw my weight around. One of our members is a girl about 10 years younger than me, who even did summer training in my company, but in the course of our 12-hour-long Guru Purnima celebration when some businessmen came to meet me, she told me that I should not talk business. For a moment I was angry but I realised that she was right. Now there is talk of a picnic. I have a place I can offer, but I have decided that I would rather go along with whatever the group wants."
It is this willingness to introspect and moderate one`s own behaviour, instead of operating by the societal rules of manipulation and power play, that is responsible for the satsang synergy. Fashion columnist Meher Castelino, a follower of Meher Baba, takes great pleasure in organising occasional meetings among fellow seekers not necessarily of the same persuasion. Says she: "My professional socialising does not give me the satisfaction that these meetings do. People are very relaxed and there is a lot of bonding because no one wants anything from anyone."
Uday Acharya explains the joy of satsang succinctly: "The mind has two opposing tendencies. One is fragmented thinking, which leads to judging, criticising and dwelling on the darker aspect of life. The other is the inner call to rise above the first. It is this tendency that gets enhanced through satsangs, creating emotional energy, strength, even faith and trust. You are either going up spiritually or you are going down-there is no such thing as remaining in stasis. Satsangs reverse the process of entropy."
The role of the guru
It is here that the presence of the guru, for those groups lucky enough to have one, is all-important. The guru is the embodiment of our goal, the role model for behaviour, attitude and values, and our guide and support on the way.
Says Santosh Sachdeva, a student of Justice Dudhat and author of two books on Kundalini Yoga: "When I first joined the meditation group, I was so impatient, I would always interrupt Guruji to air my views. He taught me to listen. I also learnt through Guruji`s example not to judge. People`s viewpoints emerge out of their experiential truth. What I say or feel about it is not important." She adds: "The guru represents all that is divine. I would like to be the way he is, without judgement and reaction."
Her son, Gautam Sachdeva, is a student of Ramesh Balsekar, the unconventional Advaita guru who lives in south Mumbai, where seekers from all over the world converge at 9 a.m. every morning for a stimulating exchange of questions and answers.
Sachdeva too draws inspiration from Balsekar. Says he: "I really look up to Ramesh. He`s completely lucid and clear. There is no room for doubt. He never fumbles and he is so alive!" As for the group interaction, it is the diversity of the seekers that attracts him. "One day there is a Thai monk and the next day you will find an airline pilot. Millionaires jostle with people on the dole."
Uday Acharya learnt Vedanta for several years under the guidance of his guru, Swami Dayanand Saraswati. According to him, a guru inspires you to grow. He says: "As you do so, the relationship changes. You no longer cling; it changes to friendship. He gives you the wisdom that makes you complete. But it is his gift, so you offer him your adulation until you reach the final guru, which is God."
Today, he himself teaches, and the circle is complete. The growth continues. "I get a lot of clarity the more and more I communicate with others. I become increasingly sensitive to the other`s viewpoint," he explains.
What is new is the growth of eclectic groups where activities range from bodywork to psychic protection to forgiveness meditation
Non-spiritual satsangs
Satsangs, as I can testify, don`t necessarily have to be spiritual in nature. For the last couple of years I have been intermittently meeting with some 10 others, both men and women, once every week for a course on personal growth under the guidance of psychiatrist and Life Positive columnist, Dayal Mirchandani. We too are seeking the truth, the truth about our psychological states, and for glimpses of the worldview that dictates our behaviour and thoughts. Through the interventions of the group, with its different views and the psychiatrist`s insights, we gradually come to understand ourselves better and free ourselves from habitual patterns of functioning.
It is by no means easy to go public on one`s shortcomings, be it a relationship with a family member, poor self-esteem, or the pain of an unsatisfactory childhood. But when we did do so, a magical thing happened. We found that the shortcomings didn`t hold us back so much. More important, we had broken the barriers that separated us from each other and wandered into intimacy.
According to Dr Mirchandani: "Thanks to the courage of those who open up and the strength of the relationships formed, the bond is probably deeper than those built up through spiritual satsangs."
In his book, Love and Survival, Dr Dean Ornish talks of his own movement into self-awareness through psychotherapy. His problem was a fear of intimacy and it took therapy to make him realise its source lay in his hazy sense of self and lack of personal boundaries. Therapy, which includes group therapy, shines its light on such areas, not often explored by conventional satsang, and pushes the seeker that much closer to complete self-knowledge.
Satisfying and life-enhancing though they are, not all groups thrive. Seeker Salome Roy Kapoor talks wistfully of a group that met for two years to discuss spiritual texts as varied as Khalil Gibran`s The Prophet to Affirmations by Gary Zukov, before running out of steam.
What keeps the group spirit going? How can it be nurtured to robust growth? M. Scott Peck addresses this very question in his book, The Different Drum, on the dynamics of community building.
According to him there are four phases through which a group must go through to become a genuine community.
The first is pseudocommunity. This is the initial phase when we step around each other`s corns and try and be nice. Inevitably, this means that conflicts and differences are unresolved and authenticity is sacrificed. Letting go of this stage leads to the next.
Chaos is characterised by the release of all that was suppressed in the earlier stage. Disagreements, old grudges, differing viewpoints are noisily expressed.
The third stage is emptiness. At this stage, we empty ourselves of all that stops community from forming, be they prejudices, judgemental thinking or self-defensiveness.
Community happens. There is joy and peace within the group. Peck characterises community as being a deeply inclusive place where decisions are arrived at through consensus and the group is committed to hang in there through pleasant and unpleasant phases. Because it works its way through problems rather than ignoring them, community is realistic and contemplative. It introspects. It knows itself. It is finally a safe place to be, where we can be truly ourselves with all our vulnerabilities.
In an ideal satsang, psychological approaches may be welded with the impassioned search for spirit
Peck was referring to community-building within the context of holding workshops on the subject. But there is no reason why satsangs could not lend themselves to this dynamics. What would be needed, perhaps, is the welding of some psychological approaches together with the impassioned search for spirit. Meditation and chanting could be supplemented by occasional discussions on the state of the group and where the members want it to go. Disputes and conflicts can be seized as an opportunity to embrace differences and create open-minded sharing. Communication skills can be enhanced and commitment to the group reinforced.
Being in community is every bit as important as being in communion with oneself. Says Ornish: "I am finding that true freedom comes from choosing interdependence
" Harmony within oneself is essential for harmony without, but the reverse can also apply. Working towards external harmony forces you to grow into a state of internal harmony.
And where then would satsang lead us? Can it take us as far as enlightenment? Yes, says an authority on the subject, Adi Shankaracharya in Bhajagovindam:
Satsangatve nissanghatvam
Nissanghatve nirmohatvam
Nirmohatve niscalatatvam
Niscalatatve jeevanmukti
(Satsang leads to freedom from desire/Freedom from desire leads to freedom from error/Freedom from error leads to perception of the truth/Perception of the truth leads to liberation)
I rest my case.

Morningside College announces speaker for
its 108th commencement exercises
Morningside College President John Reynders announced today that retired Army Lt. Gen. Roger C. Schultz, former director of the Army National Guard, will be the featured speaker at the college's 108th spring commencement exercises to be held Saturday, May 13, at 2 p.m. on the campus lawn in front of the Hickman-Johnson-Furrow Learning Center, 1601 Morningside Avenue.
The commencement exercises are open to the public, as is the baccalaureate service, which will be held the previous evening, Friday, May 12, at 5 p.m. in Grace United Methodist Church, 1735 Morningside Avenue. The Rev. James Hanke, Sioux City district superintendent for the United Methodist Church, will deliver the baccalaureate sermon.
During Saturday's commencement exercises, the college will present an honorary Doctor of Science degree to Dr. Elsie Muller, a resident of Sioux City and retired professor of mathematics at Morningside, and an honorary Doctor of Laws degree to Schultz, in recognition of their commitment to their respective fields and to life-long learning, civic responsibility, and ethical leadership, the tenets of Morningside's mission.
Muller was a professor of mathematics at Morningside College from 1955 to 1958 and from 1963 to 1978. She took a five-year leave of absence to earn her doctorate degree at Iowa State University in 1963. She received a master's degree from the University of Michigan in 1944 and a bachelor's degree from Nebraska State Teachers College, now known as Wayne State College, in 1935. During her tenure, in 1965, Kappa Mu Epsilon, the national mathematics honor society, was established at the college. She was a member of the Mathematical Association of America, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, the American Mathematical Society, and the Iowa Academy of Science, among others.
Muller received the Order of Morningside in 1978 for her contributions to the college.
Schultz, who attended Morningside, joined Unitech, a professional services firm for mission critical projects in Centreville, Va., as senior vice president of Army Operations in May 2005. Previously, he had served as director of the Army National Guard for seven years.
In 2001, he was the first Army National Guard director to be promoted to the rank of a three-star lieutenant general. The longest-serving director of the Army National Guard to date, Schultz oversaw a $10.5-billion budget and 350,000 soldiers.
Schultz, who began active military service in 1963, received the Distinguished Service Medal for his 42 years of service. He holds many other awards and decorations, including the Purple Heart, Legion of Merit, Global War on Terrorism Service Medal, and the Humanitarian Service Medal.
He holds a bachelor's degree in management from Upper Iowa University and a master's degree in public administration from Shippensburg University.

'60 Minutes' examines the business of e-waste recycling
In Sunday's 60 Minutes, the CBS TV news magazine examines the lucrative but shadowy business of mining e-waste--junked computers, televisions, and other old electronic products--for valuable components, including gold. However, often illegal and hazardous activity creates toxic pollution, which in turn leads to brain damage, kidney disease, cancers, and mutations. In the segment, correspondent Scott Pelley examines the ethics of the recycling industry. (For the full 60 Minutes segment, see "The Electronic Wasteland.")
In the first clip, Pelley takes a tour of Denver electronic waste recycling company GRX, a member of " E-Stewards." The stringent program … Read more

Become a Medical Reserve Corps Volunteer
"The number one lesson we learned from our experience in the wake of Tropical Storm Irene is that Vermonters take care of each other."
Volunteer for the Corps
Local health, safety, and preparedness begins with you!
Medical Reserve Units are an organized way to draw upon Vermonters' good will and instinct to help their friends and neighbors. Units offer both medical and non-medical volunteers a chance to join a network of people who are trained and ready to respond to an emergency.
Volunteer doctors, nurses, pharmacists, dentists and EMTs learn how to assist in the response to a disaster affecting their communities. Even if you have no medical training, we encourage you to join a local MRC. Volunteers are provided valuable training free of charge, and they learn how to prepare themselves and their families during an emergency.
Register with the Vermont Emergency Response Volunteer System
Why Volunteer
We saw it during Tropical Storm Irene - when a disaster strikes, the first response is always local. Medical Reserve Corps volunteers help ensure our communities are ready for a large-scale emergency or public health crisis.
- Share your abilities
- Develop new skills through free training
- Give back to your community
Did you know that volunteering is also good for your health?
Research presented by the Corporation for National and Community Service shows a strong relationship between volunteering and health: those who volunteer have lower mortality rates, greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer.Learn more about the Health Benefits of Volunteering.
How to Volunteer
- Sign up today - Register as a Vermont Emergency Response Volunteer
- Call or email your local MRC unit. You'll get information about the MRC, including how to join, about unit, and training activities.
If there isn't yet a MRC unit near you, help establish a unit in your community, or stay connected for when one is created.
All Vermont MRC volunteers have a basic level of training requirements. These training requirements are consistent with the MRC Core Competencies.
This ensures that all Vermont MRC volunteers have completed the same minimum level of training. Volunteers will be trained in the following:
- MRC Orientation
- IS 22 or a family preparedness plan
Each Vermont MRC unit will provide the standard basic level of training. Once a volunteer has met those requirements, the unit coordinator can expand on advanced training and exercises, such as:
- CPR & First Aid
- Psychological First Aid
- Bloodborne Pathogens
- Vaccination Distribution & Dispensing - Point of Dispensing (POD)
- Local Emergency and Health Procedures
- Use of Specialized Equipment
- Shelter Management
- Emergency Exercises

"Great, especially compared to the one it replaces"
5.0 starson by kbrown127Pros: Plays Blu Ray discs with ease
Decent Loading time
Great Picture
Many optionsCons: None so far
Summary: This replaces our Sharp Blu Ray player that we got for free with our tv. If the Sharp was not free, it would have been returned long ago. This player is leaps and bounds above the Sharp, simply because it plays all of the discs I throw at it so far, it upgrades the firmware over the ethernet connection, and it has many options to take advantage of being connected to the internet like netflix and pandora.
My old blu ray player would not do any of the above, so this LG was a breath of fresh air for sure!

Giving your kid an allowance is supposed to be a good way to teach important financial values, like delayed gratification and the importance of budgeting.
So explain why:
1. High school freshmen who received allowances were no more likely to save money than those who didn't, and the allowance-getters were less likely to view work positively, a study indicated. In other words, allowances seemed to undermine the formation of a work ethic.
2. High school seniors who received regular, unconditional allowances (one not tied to chores) scored worse on a national financial literacy test (.pdf file) -- 49.1% correct answers -- than kids who received no allowances (52.5%) or allowances dependent upon chores (52.1%), according to a 2008 study by the National JumpStart Coalition.
3. Unconditional allowances are also associated with lower participation in the labor force. Nearly one-third of seniors who received such allowances had never worked in a paid job, compared with 20% of those who received no allowances, the coalition study said. Paid employment is associated with higher financial literacy.

4. High school seniors with no plans to attend college were more likely to receive unconditional allowances (25%) than the general population of seniors (10%), the coalition reported.
5. According to another study, most teenagers who received allowances viewed the money as either an entitlement for basic support or earned income, rather than educational tools that promoted smart financial habits later in life.
"They should at least have to do something unpleasant to get the money," Mandell said. "Then getting a job at McDonald's might seem better than having to cadge their parents for money."
Holy cow. As a parent who leans toward the unconditional-allowance end of the spectrum, I didn't particularly want to hear what Mandell (and all the research he's citing) pretty clearly states.
I know some parents are comfortable tying allowances to chores, reasoning it replicates the work world, where you get paid for your efforts. But I believe that chores are what you do because you're part of the family and that everyone needs to pitch in.
Still, I have to admit to seeing the entitlement mentality take root in our daughter, who's 8. The first time I heard her demand, "Where's my allowance?" I promptly instituted rules requiring her to finish her weekly chores before I paid up.
But she has yet to save much money, beyond the amount we require her to put in her credit union account. And if I tell her she can save up to buy the toy or game she's currently coveting, she quickly loses interest.
That's fine, for now. I'm not interested in training her to be a bigger consumer, even though I would like her to see the benefit of saving toward a goal. What really worries me, though, is the idea that her allowance may interfere with her work ethic.
A 1994 study by University of Minnesota professors indicated that high school freshmen who received allowances were less likely to view work as a source of "intrinsic satisfaction" -- in other words, to see the positive value of work -- as well as less likely to value the "extrinsic" benefits -- the money that could be earned.
"Parents and financial counselors need to be careful about undermining the development of work values through allowance practices," the researchers warned.
That finding concerns Mandell, too, since a good work ethic is so important to success, financially and otherwise. Not all jobs, especially those available to teenagers, will be fun, and the ability to persevere through "boring, dirty and exhausting" jobs, as he puts it, is important to later achievement in life. Not that I want my daughter necessarily cleaning houses to make ends meet, as I did in college, but I also don't want her flaking out when the going gets tough at work or in life.
Mandell, who is a fellow at the Aspen Institute and a visiting professor at the University of Washington's Foster School of Business, believes parents could make allowances more effective by talking to their kids about what lessons they're expected to learn -- and about how the family copes with financial matters in general.
Some families dole out money so they will have fewer interactions with their kids, Mandell said. Busy parents may see it as a way to head off whining or nagging, but simply handing over cash doesn't necessarily teach kids the right lessons.
Instead, parents should be looking for ways to:
1. Make their expectations clear, including what duties their children are expected to perform.
2. Talk about what they're hoping the allowances will teach, including the value of saving and budgeting. Parents should also talk about the importance of hard work, discipline and repetition in achieving success. Playing the piano for friends is fun, for example, but the fun part comes only after a lot of practicing and drilling.
3. Match their kids' savings, if possible, to encourage that habit.
4. Help children understand that money is a finite resource. Grade-schoolers may be too young to grasp how much of their parents' paychecks go to housing, transportation, utilities and other "must have" expenses, but an older child can be let in on the fact that the family's money stretches only so far.
"You don't just hand over $20," Mandell said. "You say, 'Here are your responsibilities, and here's why (we're giving you an allowance), and here's something about our financial situation. I know you'd like to get $30, but this is the best we can do right now.'"
