Saturday 8 Mar 2014
By Clemens Bomsdorf. Web onlyPublished online: 27 December 2012
A proposal to sell a vintage print of a photograph by Edvard Munch to the Centre Pompidou, Paris, has been met with criticism in Oslo.
The print is in the collection of the Munch Museum, Oslo. One of an edition of five, it shows Munch in profile photographed in his garden at Ekely, around 1930. At the end of November, the government of Oslo put before the city's parliament the proposed deaccession of the photograph, part of the collection that the artist bequeathed to the city. In the proposal document it says: "The sale to a public international institution will ensure that Munch's work is made accessible for the public and by that secures the [artist's] will." But Ivar Johansen, a member of the city parliament for the left-wing party SV, says that in Munch's will, the artist said he wanted his works to be kept together. Any sale runs counter to Munch's wishes, Johansen says. A long-term loan would be a better solution in order to increase access Munch's works, he says, fearing that if the sale goes ahead other will follow. The city government is asking parliament to vote on whether to sell further photographs by Munch, "when such cases are coming up and are justified from a professional point of view", says the report to politicians. A decision is due to be made in 2013. Centre Pompidou is willing to pay up to €30,000 for the work. The money would go towards supporting the celebrations of the artist's 150th birthday in 2013.Meanwhile, Oslo has still not decided whether to relocate the Munch Museum. A decision was expected at the beginning of December. But the populist right-wing liberal party FrP, which had supported the proposal, which is backed by the governing conservative-liberal coalition, had a change of heart. The plans for new Munch Museum have been postponed several times already. Originally, the city parliament had agreed on the so-called Lambda building to be erected next to the Opera. The FrP party now wants the new Munch Museum to be located where the National Gallery is now. The latter is due move to a new home in 2017.

"I was there to take down the names of people who were arrested… As I'm standing there, some African-American woman goes up to a police officer and says, 'I need to get in. My daughter's there. I want to know if she's OK.' And he said, 'Move on, lady.' And they kept pushing with their sticks, pushing back. And she was crying. And all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he throws her to the ground and starts hitting her in the head," says Smith. "I walk over, and I say, 'Look, cuff her if she's done something, but you don't need to do that.' And he said, 'Lady, do you want to get arrested?' And I said, 'Do you see my hat? I'm here as a legal observer.' He said, 'You want to get arrested?' And he pushed me up against the wall."—Retired New York Supreme Court Judge Karen Smith, working as a legal observer after the raids on Zucotti Park this Tuesday, via Paramilitary Policing of Occupy Wall Street: Excessive Use of Force amidst the New Military Urbanism (via seriouslyamerica)
It's getting rather exhausting listening to people try to use the Tea Party rallies as some sort of check on the Occupy Wall Street movement in order to demonize it. While the Tea Partiers do have some legitimate political concerns, for the most part, they were and still are pawns. Why was there constant mainstream media coverage of Tea Party demonstrations? Why were there so few incidents of clashes with police and zero arrests? Why were Tea Party protesters who carried guns, many semiautomatic riffles, untouched by law enforcement? Why were they taken so seriously? Why were they hailed as "patriots?" Why weren't any Tea Party rallies shut down?
Because the Tea Party in no way threatened the establishment. They demanded completely privatized healthcare, eating right out of the hands of Big Pharma and healthcare insurance companies. They protested against corporate and environmental regulations, allowing big business to essentially steamroll over whatever they please, even if that meant destroying our Earth, with zero accountability. They demanded funding for services and programs that generally help the lower classes like Medicaid, employment insurance, Planned Parenthood, etc. be cut in order to "slash the deficit." After billionaires like the Koch brothers poured money into their groups, they demanded it was unfair to tax big corporations and the rich because "they're the job makers." Maybe we should look at some of their corporate and mega-rich sponsors:

There's a major incentive to allow the AstroTurf Tea Partiers, which make up only 18% of the population, to stomp their little feet. There is, however, virtually zero incentive to allow the Occupy movement, which denounces such overreaching corporate power, to even open their mouths and let out a single utterance. So, how do you suppress an all-inclusive movement with legitimate and striking concerns regarding the unequal balance of power? You beat them in the streets and try to do everything possible to cut off their resources because your corporate overlords, guys like Bloomberg who made billions by doing business with Wall Street, said, "jump." Because you're part of the 40% the top 1% owns. They buy you with their massive amounts of wealth to do their bidding in order to increase that wealth.
I will give these critics of the Occupy movement one thing though: it's difficult to figure out how the system really works because of how horribly broken it is. However, it doesn't take a great mind to understand the very fact that it's broken in the first place or pinpoint who broke it.

I'd like to begin by saying I watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report regularly (because I can't tolerate any other news station), and on tonight's episode of the Daily Show Jon Stewart and Samantha Bee talked about the "end" off Occupy Wall Street, and Colbert did a segment called "Occu-bye". I'm pretty sure OWS isn't over, but I just needed some reassurance.
What both programs do, more than make fun of politics itself, is make fun of political media. I haven't been watching much TV lately myself, but my best guess is that they weren't calling the end of OWS, they were parodying other media prematurely calling the end of OWS.
Besides that, this is far from over.There are occupations still happening everywhere. The changes we need, the shift in paradigm, have not happened yet. Today is the day of direct action.
"I believe change begins in the streets, and all citizens have the power to make a difference, together we can make our voices heard in the ivory towers of government, so lace up your combat boots."—Dorli Rainey (84 year old women pepper sprayed at Occupy Seattle)
#OWS This May Not Be What A Police State Looks Like, But It's Certainly How One Begins
Police State Tactics On Display Nationwide
In the last couple of days, police at Occupy protests:
- Bludgeoned peaceful protesters at Berkeley … and then said that the protesters' locking of arms was "violent"
- Beat and reportedly broke the ribs of a peaceful protesting, 70-year old, Pulitzer prize winning literature professor at Berkeley (and see this).
- Hit in the head and arrested New York City Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez
- Punched a woman in the face for showing a court order to the police stating that the protesters can be in the park
The Guardian's Laura Pennie notes:
Law enforcement is there to protect a wealthy elite from the rest of the population
A teenage girl holds a hastily written sign saying: "NYPD, we trusted you – you were supposed to protect us!"
The sentiment is a familiar one. Across Europe, over a year of demonstrations, occupations and civil disobedience, anti-austerity protesters have largely shifted from declaring solidarity with the police – as fellow workers whose jobs and pensions are also under threat – to outrage and anger at state violence against unarmed protesters. Following last month's police brutality in Oakland, and today's summary eviction of the Occupy Wall Street camp, American activists too are reaching the conclusion that "police protect the 1%".
"Who do you guys work for?" Shouts one Manhattan protester, as police load arrestees into a van. "You work for JP Morgan Bank!"
And the Washington Post's James Downie writes:
As hard as the NYPD and New York City's government might try to obscure the truth though, one truth remains: At 1 a.m. this morning, in the heart of New York City, protesters exercising their constitutional rights to free speech and assembly were swept away by the state, while that state also did all it could to prevent media coverage. No matter what one may think of the occupiers or their cause, nothing they've done justifies blockading the press or ignoring court orders. Mayor Bloomberg, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly and other New York leaders who ordered the eviction should take a long, hard look at their handling of the occupation. This morning's action may not be what a police state looks like, but it's certainly how one begins.

Mayor Quan admits cities have coordinated action against #OWS
In an interview on BBC, Mayor Jean Quan of Oakland admitted that there was a recent 18 city conference call to discuss response to the Occupy Wall Street movement. (via capitoilette.com, at 5:30 mark)
"I was recently on a conference call with 18 cities across the country who had the same situation… ."
This coordinated national response lifts the actions out of the realm of simply state issues and onto a national and federal level. Were any FEDERAL agencies represented on these phone calls! This information needs to be provided.
It is certainly an interesting side-note that, as mentioned on capitoilette.com, that President Obama is in the midst of a nine day trip in the pacific rim? A trip that allowed him to be out of the country for all the recent actions?

Rubik's cube is not just the quintessential hand-held puzzle, though: it's also an iconic piece of design, so I co-opted it when making a new chest of drawers for my son's room. This cubic piece of furniture has only one of the three required axes of rotation, so is unsolvable in the conventional sense, but can be arranged in any configuration you like by non-sporting means. The drawers do pose a brain-bending challenge: the first thing you have to solve is detecting that they're there, and all three have hidden locks in different locations.
Step 1: Design
The design is simply three boxes, each containing a single drawer. Their construction is basic - they're made of 1/4" and 1/2" plywood (which you should get precut at the lumber yard into two 2'x8' sheets), and assembled using a brad nailer and wood glue. This method of construction is super fast and precise, and results in really strong objects. The main challenge in this build is cutting the pieces with high precision - if you can't cut plywood to within 1 mm, you should probably practice on something simpler until you can. Having said that, I'm no pro and I've never made a chest of drawers before, so this project is NOT fancy woodworking by any means! If you weren't fussed about the drawers, it would be dead easy - it's just three boxes and a couple of lazy Susans, and you'd have a cool coffee table with no additionally functionality aside from rotatability. Deluxe Scrabble, anyone?
I was going to simply glue the "stickers" on to decorate the outside - or even just paint them on - but the future owner insisted he had to be able to scramble and "solve" the cube, so I enabled this with the help of rare-earth magnets for holding power and short dowels for positioning. I'm glad I did - it's more fun now, and the colors can be selected to match your mood or decor, including impossible combos of color (insofar as the real cube goes).
The puzzle is a little under 60 mm across, and this chest of drawers is exactly 600 mm across, so it is in approximately 10:1 scale. 1000 regular Rubik's cubes would therefore fit inside.
There are cubes that are 2x2, 4x4, 5x5 etc, so if you need more (or less) drawers, there is an obvious design solution...
It does not turn. This is the first piece of furniture I make and I'm very happy !
Thanks for your instructable !
very roughly how long do you think this took you to build?
If you intereted, Learn:
How to solve a Rubik's Cube
(Great animated guide for beginners, I'm sure you'll success shortly..)
As for your dimensions - how big is a jewelry box? That's how big it needs to be. About 1/3 the size of this one, i.e. about 1'x1'x1' sounds about right. It would be a cool project - good luck with it!

WHO World health report: The road to universal coverage
22 November 2010
If countries are to guarantee a good quality of life and ensure socio-economic development for people then promoting and protecting health is crucial. Without greater emphasis on health systems financing, however, this goal will remain unattainable for the poor, says the World Health Organization's (WHO) World Health Report 2010, launched today.
Subtitled Health systems financing: the path to universal coverage, the report provides a detailed analysis of how this can be achieved with the provision of timely access to high-quality, affordable health services.
The concept of universal coverage emerged from a commitment from WHO member states in 2005 to develop their health financing systems. As the report has it, in an era of "globalisation of diseases" and increasing demands for chronic care from, for example people living with HIV on long term antiretroviral treatment, universal coverage will be of paramount importance.
According to the World Health Report, the lack of universal coverage has consequences for the poor. In some countries, for instance, the proportion of births attended by a skilled worker can be as low as 10%. This figure is close to 100% for richer nations.
Attaining universal coverage is considered relatively straightforward in principle but difficult in practice, and among others these two key actions are highlighted in the report.
Raising sufficient resources for health
Firstly, countries must raise sufficient funds. For many lower-income nations this may prove impossible in the short-term and the international community will need to financially support their efforts. Such nations currently spend around $US 32 per capita on health. To provide universal coverage this should be raised to US$ 60 by 2015.
Recipient countries can also increase their own health funding by reprioritising their budgets. Few African countries, for example, spend the 15% of their government budget on health they committed to in the 2001 Abuja Declaration. In fact, 20 countries in the region who signed the commitment actually allocate less now than they did nine years ago; although several, including Tanzania and Liberia, have exceeded this goal.
Another example is Rwanda's donation of US$ 1 million in this year's replenishment round of the Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and South Africa's announcement earlier this year of a US$ 1.1 million domestic investment in the country's AIDS response.
Investing for health must be shared responsibility between development partners and national government
Michel Sidibé, UNAIDS Executive Director.
"Investing for health must be shared responsibility between development partners and national government," said Mr Michel Sidibé, UNAIDS Executive Director.
Innovative financing may also be explored. Increasing taxes on air tickets, foreign exchange transactions and tobacco could be used to augment health budgets. The report states that, for example, a 50% increase in tobacco excise taxes would generate $US 1.42 billion in additional funds in 22 low income countries for which data are available. In countries such as the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Madagascar and Viet Nam, the extra revenue would represent a 10% increase or more in total health expenditure, and a more than 25% in crease in the government's total health budget.
Promoting efficiency and eliminating waste
Finally, the report suggests that inefficiency and waste can be extremely damaging for healthcare systems. It is argued that some 20-40% of resources spent on health are wasted. A 5% saving in health expenditure can be made if unnecessary spending on medicines is reduced, they are more appropriately used and quality control is improved.
Other ways to increase efficiency include; getting the most out of technologies and health services; motivating health workers; reducing medical errors and eliminating corruption.

Manatee East unveils new concession building
Date: February 24, 2010
by: Jen Blanco | Associate Editor
Manatee East Little League recently unveiled its new concession building during the league's Opening Day celebration Feb. 20.
The league was able to build its new concession building through a public and private partnership between Manatee County Parks and Recreation and Director Cindy Turner, support from Commissioner Donna Hayes, Manatee East fundraising efforts, family and corporate funding and a final $30,000 donation from Neal Communities.
Manatee East board members, Hayes, Turner, and Pat and Charlene Neal officially opened the new concession building during a special ribbon cutting ceremony. Following the ceremony, Hayes and Neal were each presented with a key to the Lakewood Ranch Park and each threw out the first pitch, along with Manatee East Little League board member Allen Steinfeld who was a pioneer of the Concession Project, to kick off this opening day celebration.
"The new Concession Building project is another important example of how public and private enterprises can effectively work together to come up with a solution for a much-needed facility," Hayes said. "Kids, baseball and supporting youth and other important sports programs are vital to our community, both from an economic as well as quality-of-life issue," she added.
The new 30-foot-by-40-foot building is centrally located and provides restrooms close to the field, storage space and concession sales. Staffed by Manatee East board and family members, the new concession building will benefit the league and its players, as well as local families who use the park.
Construction for the new concession building began in early November 2009 at a cost of $150,000. Manatee County and Pat Neal provided $130,000 of the total cost.
"We're longtime residents and raised our own kids here," Pat Neal said. "Providing facilities that encourage kids to get involved in sports is paramount to a community's success – kids who are involved in sports are more likely to be achievers in school and other aspects of their lives. It was just the right thing to do."

YOUR WASHINGTON AND YOU! A WEEKLY REPORT from KARL MUNDT SENATOR FROM SOUTH DAKOTA "FOR A FAIR CHANCE FOR A FREE PEOPLE" VOLUME XVI (1954) NUMBER 9 - FOR RELEASE MARCH 10 OR AFTER ONCE AGAIN — PAGE HENRY CLAY! So many letters of inquiry have come in requesting the behind-the-scenes facts on the Zwicker-Stevens -McCarthy affair and wanting to know whether once again assumed the role of peacemaker, I am herewith reviewing my part in the events leading to a final settlement which appears to be constructive in nature. Enroute to Valley Forge, Pa., with Army Secretary Stevens --where we both were to receive our Freedoms Foundation Awards, I suggested to Bob Stevens the possibility of having a "conference to bring about a meeting of minds" instead of the scheduled public TV Hearing, which I felt might result in a reverberating row, with Uncle Sam the most likely loser in a forensic bout which would produce no winner. Upon my return to Washington, I called Senator Joe McCarthy and Senator Everett Dirksen to a conference in my office to suggest the committee conference approach. They both agreed. I then called Bob Stevens, asking him to the now famous "fried chicken luncheon" which he was happy to attend. At the luncheon conference, Stevens and McCarthy aired their differences before Senators Dirksen, Senator Charles Potter (R-Mich.) and me. We discussed the past difficulties, present problems and future procedures for two hours--after which a Memo of Understanding was drawn up among us and unanimously agreed to. Each man at the conference, including Stevens, contributed to writing the Memo and its final form was approved by all of us. Hands were shaken, pictures were taken, the Memo was read by me to the press and the radio in the presence of the other three conferees, and we all agreed that the TV Hearing was now unnecessary. The Memo was neither a victory of a defeat for either McCarthy or Stevens--it was not a capitulation but a compromise. It was generally understood by all that army officers (and all other witnesses) were entitled to, and would, receive proper treatment by the Committee--and that army officers would appear without having to be subpoenaed and would testify as friendly, cooperative witnesses to the best of their ability and authority on matters involving charges of dishonesty or disloyalty in the Army. Dismayed by this "Happy Ending" and the fact the TV Hearing was cancelled, left-wing news and radio men who had expected that Hearing to drive an open wedge between McCarthy and the Administration, turned viciously on Stevens, accusing him of cowardice, capitulation, of "walking out on the army" and other completely unmerited actions. For a time, it appeared our Memo of Understanding would become a Memo of Misunderstanding! Stevens, who is a fine citizen and an able public official, understandingly reacted to the tidal waves of criticism. He called me at a private dinner late at night to indicate he would resign rather than take such personal abuse. I urged him to "sit it out"; told him we would work with him in any way to correct any impression he had capitulated; and secured his promise NOT TO RESIGN--at least, not until he had a talk with me next day. Next day, under Senator Dirksen's leadership, we tried to write a news release rejecting the angles the left-wingers had placed on the actions of Stevens. Senators Dirksen, Potter, McCarthy and I agreed on a statement--but it was then decided a better approach would be for Stevens himself to issue the statement which he then made about 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feburary 25. Following that statement--except for a denial that General Zwicker was refused counsel--the statements were terminated and the future procedures assured on the basis of the Memo of Understanding and the informal assurances which all parties understood as prevailing in the friendly atmosphere of the "chicken luncheon". Not having heard the Zwicker testimony in New York, and being in a neutral corner, consequently I was able to urge both factions to "give and take a little" so a satisfactory compromise was reached. The final results augur BAD for Communists anywhere and GOOD for Americans everywhere. Out of it also came an appreciation by Executive Departments that a Congressional subpoena is a vested right of the Legislative branch of Government which must be preserved --and by Committee members that intemperate language, even in Executive Hearings, does more harm than good and helps to conceal much more than it serves to clarify. In addition, I learned an additional, individual lesson: To-wit--the ways of a peacemaker are sometimes rougher, by far, than those of an antagonist!! STILL AVAILABLE.

Ex-Yankee Nelson helps sink New York in series finale
Los Angeles Angels' Chris Nelson follows through on an eighth-inning grand slam off New York Yankees relief pitcher Boone Logan in a baseball game Thursday, Aug. 15, 2013, in New York. Nelson also hit a fourth-inning solo home run. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens) |
NEW YORK (AP) -- Chris Nelson was headed toward the showers when he walked past C.J. Wilson's locker in the Los Angeles Angels' clubhouse.
"What's up, hero?" Wilson said with a wry grin.
"Me? No," Nelson replied.
That must be exactly what the New York Yankees are thinking.
Nelson hit his first two home runs of the season, including a grand slam against his former team, to send Wilson and the Angels past New York 8-4 on Thursday.
"It's a great day for Chris, both offensively and defensively," Los Angeles manager Mike Scioscia said. "It's good to see his bat come alive. He's got some pop and he hasn't really shown it this year in the 100 or so at-bats he's had, but you saw it today and hopefully it's a sign of more to come."
Josh Hamilton and rookie J.B. Shuck each had an RBI single to help the struggling Angels prevent a four-game sweep. Wilson (13-6) won his fifth consecutive decision, keeping Alfonso Soriano in the ballpark after the streaking slugger piled up four homers and 13 RBIs the previous two nights.
Soriano extended his sensational tear, going 4 for 5 with an RBI single, but the Yankees managed little else until a three-run ninth as their four-game winning streak ended. After finishing a 5-2 homestand, they head to Fenway Park this weekend to face first-place Boston.
Nelson spent a couple of weeks with the Yankees in May, one of several replacements they tried at third base while Alex Rodriguez was recovering from hip surgery. A top-10 draft pick by Colorado in 2004, he didn't leave much of an impression — until returning with Los Angeles.
"He hurt us bad today," New York manager Joe Girardi said.
Nelson hit a solo homer off Phil Hughes (4-12) to make it 3-1 in the fourth. He added his first career slam off Boone Logan in a five-run eighth for his first multihomer game in the majors. Mike Trout got the inning started by hustling for a pop-fly double that was misjudged by center fielder Brett Gardner.
The only time the Angels retired Soriano, it came on a nice play at third by Nelson, who started a critical double play earlier in the game. Shuck also threw out Soriano trying to stretch a single in the first.
"Everything just fell in place for me," Nelson said.
Wilson worked around 11 hits and threw a season-high 124 pitches in 6 2-3 innings while matching his win total from last year.

A dislocation is an injury to a joint — a place where two or more of your bones come together — in which the ends of your bones are forced from their normal positions. This painful injury temporarily deforms and immobilizes your joint.
Dislocation is most common in the shoulders and fingers. Other sites for dislocations include the elbows, knees and hips. If you suspect a dislocation, seek prompt medical attention to return your bones to their proper positions.
When treated properly, most dislocations return to normal function after several weeks of rest and rehabilitation. However, some joints, such as your shoulder, may have an increased risk of repeat dislocation.

| Posted about 6 years ago Shelby, I live in Texas and I was a CNA as well. I had to take a test called Compass six years ago for College admission and it was basic math, formulas, algera, reading comprehension..I did not have any review materials and passed it. It was very basic. Now, I did have to take a NET test, which is the Nursing Entrance Test for RN school. The test is just like the compass test basic math, and english comprehension. I do believe amazon and local colleges have study material for the NET test. I wish you the best of luck. I just took my NCLEX-RN yesterday and I will find out my results tomorrow. Goodluck in school!! |

This tip originally appeared on SearchServerVirtualization.com, a sister site of SearchCIO-Midmarket.com.
As an independent IT consultant and subcontractor, Paul Winkeler is in the field regularly, helping
Requires Free Membership to View
IT managers find new ways to make their data center run more efficiently. As the owner of Ohio-based PBnJ Solutions, Winkeler recently began using virtualization as part of a disaster recovery (DR) plan for one of his clients and spoke with SearchServerVirtualization about the solution.
Virtualization technology is very popular for server consolidation, but what else can it be used for?
Winkeler: The concept of using virtualization in a disaster recovery environment is very high on the list. In the past, it has been expensive to get one server to replicate to the other because those two servers had to be basically identical for complete replication. In order for them to be identical, you needed the same hardware in both the main and backup locations. With virtualization, those hardware costs are cut down significantly because of the ability to host several machines on one server.
Can you give us an example of how virtualization can be used for DR?
Winkeler: One of my customers is a large investment company that uses SQL Server 2000 to track client activity. They need this information to be available at all times. We are doing something different for this client using virtualization to replicate that data. We have Microsoft Virtual Servers; one at the main site and one at a backup site. The virtual servers have virtual disk drives and we are using a product called LifeKeeper from Steeleye Technologies Inc. to replicate the virtual drives back and forth. Anytime there is a change, the product reports the information to both servers, so the data is always up to date.
What are the advantages of using virtualization in this scenario as opposed to going with a more traditional DR solution?
Winkeler: For starters, one advantage to using virtual servers instead of physical servers is in the testing. When we were building the test environment, we basically had two virtual servers running on the same hardware. So we built the whole test environment at the client's home office without having to worry about having high speed connection between the home office and the backup site. I could just do all the testing locally.
Now that the servers are up and running, another advantage to having the data virtualized is that I can now test more frequently than I can with physical servers. With physical servers, testing is often painful and something that we try to avoid. Using virtual servers, it is easy for us to test because we can shut down and turn on these virtual servers easily. We can simulate server failure just by shutting them down. We don't need remote hardware access to power down.
Any other additional cost savings you have seen using virtualization for DR?
Winkeler: I already mentioned hardware, but there are additional savings in that area. At the customer's main site, we have a ratio of 2 or 3 virtual servers per physical machine. But at the mirror site, we boost that ratio higher because most of the time those servers are really not doing anything mission critical; they are just sitting there on standby. This conserves the amount of money we have to tie up in a backup site. Previously, before we starting using virtual servers, there was a lot of capital tied up in the backup site that wasn't really necessary.
There is also a savings when it comes to personnel because virtual environments can be managed remotely, so we need much less personnel working on the management of the machines and they can now be used for other tasks.

The recent Acid Mothers Temple show I attended was like nothing I've ever seen or heard before. For starters, it felt like we were transported back in time the second we walked into the venue, with characters that looked like something straight out of to 1960s protest-filled Japan surrounding the stage.
Acid Mothers Temple is, hands down, the most unique band you can see perform live today. I say that with complete confidence, since Captain Beefheart is long dead and, to my knowledge, Alejandro Jodorowsky doesn't tour as a musical artist. Acid Mothers Temple thus rightfully kills the competition for audacious originality and stunning presence. It's no surprise that around the world people call AMT shows the best performance they've ever seen.
Acid Mothers Temple is a collective of sorts – an amalgamation of many bands all starting with the name Acid Mothers Temple. Think of it like the Broken Social Scene of Japan's experimental noise/space rock scene — they add members at will for recordings and tour with a different set of musicians constantly.
It's in their nature to be so free spirited: Acid Mothers Temple is, in fact, a sort of commune of Japanese artists all united by the slogan "Do Whatever You Want, Don't Do Whatever You Don't Want!!" They have houses all over Japan that they move freely between, and according to their bio, today embody a 30 member+ movement. Best described on the "gossips" section of their site,
"One of our members is a farmer, living together with his fields and rice paddies. There's another member who has traveled through the Australian deserts and lived with Aborigines. There's others who are bumming round India. One went to Africa and never came back. One dropped out of a yakuza gang and decided to travel around Japan searching for mermaids. But we all live according to our slogan, and we all eventually return to the fold. [We] respect each others' ways of life, and we try not to tie each other down. The "soul collective" only exists so that we can protect our freedom."
Right… now that you've sort of got an idea of who we're dealing with, you can see what I mean by "most unique band ever." Their show last night started off with two, very distinct solo sets by members Tsuyama Atsushi and Kawabata Makoto. Atushi was out of his mind, in a good way. He played a wide variety of instruments and created interesting pieces using the combination of a loop and delay machine, which he fondly referred to as his wife. Most songs were short and ended with an abrupt "Thank you." Atushi the whole time maintained an incredible audience relationship, going into full character while singing a Tom Wait's version of King Crimson's "I Talk to the Wind" (Japanese version!) and occasionally stopping mid-song to just chat.
Next up was a very different type of show put on by Acid Mothers Temple lead Makoto who played a dark noise set that he apologetically explained "will put you to sleep." In spite of what he said, his concentration was so intense it automatically evaporated all the joking energy left behind by Atushi and kept the audience's attention entirely.
The final set, an acoustic performance by the four, currently permanent members of Acid Mothers Temple, was like a combo of the two opening acts plus more. The drone improvisational rock act was the definition of psychedelic, and I'm pretty sure there were a few people in the crowd who were tripping off more than good vibes.
With long jam songs, ghostly ambient transitions, unintelliglbe babble, an aesthetic straight out of "Kill Bill," an ethos rooted in a different way of living and songs like the featured "Chinese Flying Saucer," it is impossible not to concede that Acid Mothers Temple belongs in a Murakami-esque parallel universe where the West's influence of jazz and rock are prominent in the philosophies of every Japanese man or woman, and books like Marcel Proust's "In Search of Lost Time" reflect their daily lives.
The show ended on surreal note, with Atushi shamelessly (albeit hilariously) promoting their 15 press limited edition vinyl of their newest record, "The Ripper at the Heaven's Gate of Dark," by doing circles with it over his head while chanting in unison with the rest of AMT. Marketing geniuses or just quirky? They did sell out their stock within the first 5 minutes…

Things I liked:The Hatsan 85 feels good. It doesn't feel like an airgun at all. Good trigger pull. I went with the 20 for $20, and was questioning how 'sighted in' it would be. No doubt, it's sighted in. Things I would have changed:The bipod is rather flimsy. It is plastic and doesn't stay in place well. Things I liked:nice stock fit and finish.not to hard to cock. really good looking gun. very hard hitting using jsb exact 10.3g pellets. doesnt take long to break in. im shooting dime sized groups @30yds after only 200 pellets! it shoots the jsb 10.3g pellets @850fps. the sling is very nice also. Things I would have changed:keep the bipod. it is pretty much useless. also the scope is not very good. keep the scope and bipod and lower the price. What others should know:put a nice scope on this gun. i chose a leapers 3-9x40. use the artillary hold and you will have a nice shooting gun. also the trigger is kinda heavy but im sure it will smooth out after about 1000 pellets. this is a pretty heavy gun. not for kids.

Raterink, Vasquez and Chambers earn weekly honors Courtesy of Arena Football League Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Iowa QB J.J. RATERINK has been awarded the Russell Athletic Offensive Player of the Week, while Milwaukee DL LUIS VASQUEZ has been named the Riddell Defensive Player of the Week and Kansas City WR JACKIE CHAMBERS has been named JLS Ironman of the Week for Week 13 of the 2012 AFL season. In addition to these awards, the AFL is also awarding the Cutters Catch of the Week, Spalding Highlight of the Week, and the AFL Playmaker of the week. The Cutters Catch of the Week award winner for Week 13 is Iowa WR MARCO THOMAS, while the AFL Playmaker of the week is Philadelphia FB DERRICK ROSS. The Spalding Highlight of the week is Chicago QB RUSS MICHNA. RUSSELL ATHLETIC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Raterink (6-2, 210, Wyoming) completed 31-of-37 passes for 371 yards and nine touchdowns in Iowa's 70-62 victory over the Cleveland Gladiators in Week 13, finishing with a completion percentage of 83.8 and a QB Rating of 148.03. All figures represent season-highs. In addition, he accounted for a 10th touchdown on a one-yard run in the fourth quarter. Raterink was also interception-free in the game and has thrown just six interceptions in the 2012 season, a League-low among starting quarterbacks. RIDDELL DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK Vasquez (6-3, 270, Arizona State) recovered two fumbles for touchdowns in Milwaukee's 81-68 victory over the San Jose SaberCats in Week 13. The defensive lineman began the game with a recovery off the net on the game's opening kickoff for a touchdown. Later in the first quarter, he disrupted a San Jose run, scooping up the ball and running it back 43 yards for a score. Vasquez shares the League lead for fumbles recovered with Chicago Rush LB Kelvin Morris. Both have four recoveries this season. JLS IRONMAN OF THE WEEK Chambers (5-10, 190, Lane College) had a total of 69 receiving yards and one touchdown in the team's matchup against the Utah Blaze, but also racked up 80 kick return yards and 1.5 tackles in Week 13. Chambers has scored in three of the last four games. CUTTERS CATCH OF THE WEEK Thomas (6-0,190, Western Illinois) made an exceptional touchdown catch in the Barnstormers matchup against the Gladiators in Week 13. His momentum took him over the boards, but Thomas maintained possession for six points. Thomas has caught a touchdown pass in six consecutive games. This is the second time this season Thomas has earned Cutters Catch of the Week honors. He won the award in Week 1 for his game-winning overtime grab against Spokane. Thomas will receive a Cutters shirt and hat for his efforts. AFL PLAYMAKER OF THE WEEK Ross (6-0, 240, Tarleton) set a franchise single-game record with 84 rushing yards - the League's best this season - in the team's 79-48 victory over the Orlando Predators in Week 13. This is the third time he has broken 60 rushing yards in a game and the seventh time he has scored more than two rushing touchdowns in a game this season. He also became the 10th player in AFL history to reach 1,000 rushing yards for his career. SPALDING HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK Michna (6-3, 220, Western Illinois) was awarded the Spalding Highlight of the Week honor for breaking the Rush single-game franchise record for passing touchdowns with nine against Spokane in Week 13. Michna found Jared Perry in the end zone for the record-breaking score. Michna also set the franchise record for completions in a game with 32 and recorded the first 400-yard game of his career.

Mishtu Dey Status: See all reviews Member since 2013 Organization: University of Iowa Read more » | 4.3 RATING:
"This is easy to use. The sales service is good. Would recommend to a colleague. Would have liked to known the exact autoclaving temperatures and time of run for various settings (dry run, liquid media, etc.)" |
Priorclave Rectangular Section Power Door autoclaves combine a huge internal capacity with a small floor area.
Where laboratory space is at a premium and there is a need to sterilise tall, extra bulk items the RSV range of POWER DOOR autoclaves from Priorclave may prove the perfect answer since the pressure door moves vertically within the autoclave frame, eliminating need to allow space for conventional door swing at the front of the autoclave.
Four models make up this highly versatile front-loading RSV range with chamber sizes from 230 to 700 litres. A design advantage of the RSV range is a fixed gasket onto which the chamber door closes. When raised and in line with the chamber opening the pressure door automatically moves forward directly onto the seal to create an air-tight lock, this action prevents undue wear on the fixed seal.
Although easy access to chamber is gained using Push-Button controls, inherent safety features prevent door opening during sterilising cycles and at high temperatures and pressures, a special STAYPUT locking geometry keeps the chamber door fully locked. Electrical and direct steam heated versions are available as is the option of water cooling jackets.
RSV Power Door Autoclaves Features:
- Capacities from 230 to 700 Litres and above. Intermediate sizes available to suit individual locations where required.
- Operation up to 138C - 2.4 Bar
- Large rectangular chamber within a compact frame
- No moving door gasketCan be supplied as a stand-alone cabinet autoclave or for building into a fascia panel in a dedicated plant room.
- Steam generated within the chamber (electrically heated models) - Direct steam heated models available
- Complete with thermocouple entry and test ports
- Forced air cooling as standard helping to reduce cycle times (Jacket cooling available)
- Automatic timed freesteaming as standard for improved air removal and sterilising performance
- Delayed start and media warming function as standard for ready to pour media at the start of the day
- A large selection of options and accessories is available to help to get the most from your Priorclave autoclave
- Supplied with two full width non-tipping stainless steel shelves.
- Stainless steel baskets, waste containers and loading trolleys available

Carrier Dome, Syracuse, New York
SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Four days earlier, freshmen Trevor Cooney, Dajuan Coleman and Jerami Grant logged a combined seven minutes and failed to score in Syracuse's win at Providence.
That is ancient history now.Cooney punctuated a late surge with a pair of 3-pointers in less than a minute, Grant scored 13 points in 29 minutes -- both season highs -- and the burly, 6-foot-9, 288-pound Coleman contributed six points and a steal as the No. 7 Orange held off Villanova 72-61 on Saturday.Forced to play his youngsters probably more than he would have liked because of circumstances, Orange coach Jim Boeheim wore a satisfied look after career victory No. 906."It was really the three freshmen that won the game," Boeheim said. "The three freshmen were the difference."Along with C.J. Fair, who had a game-high 22 points and helped rescue his teammates in the second half while the Orange's top two scorers were on the bench.Fresh from two straight wins on the road, Syracuse played without senior James Southerland, its second-leading scorer at 13.6 points per game in his key role off the bench. He is out until further notice because of an eligibility matter, the university said in a statement released just before the game.Southerland sat in street clothes, accompanied for much of the second half by leading scorer Brandon Triche after he picked up his fourth foul.Fair, who entered the game with three double-doubles in the previous four games, became the go-to guy, scoring 11 of the Orange's first 15 points of the second half. He broke a 34-all tie with a midrange jumper just before Triche's fourth foul, then converted a floater in the lane and sank two free throws to give Syracuse a 40-34 lead at 13:46 that it never relinquished.Syracuse (16-1, 4-0 Big East) has won 34 straight home games, the longest active streak in the nation in Division I. Villanova (11-5, 2-1) had its seven-game winning streak snapped.The Orange are 27-1 in regular-season play in the conference in the past year, the only setback coming at Notre Dame a year ago. Syracuse hasn't lost a Big East regular-season game at home since Georgetown beat the Orange 64-56 in February 2011."I thought of all our wins the last couple of years, this was the grittiest, toughest performance I think we've had," Boeheim said. "Everybody just dug in there defensively. We just kept battling away."JayVaughn Pinkston led Villanova with 12 points, and Mouphtaou Yarou had 11 points and 14 rebounds. Freshman guard Ryan Arcidiacono had seven points, missing six of seven shots from behind the arc as Villanova shot 5 of 23 from long range. The Wildcats were unable to get inside as planned against Syracuse's 2-3 zone defense.Villanova held a 29-27 lead at the break, a season-low halftime score for the Orange but was unable to keep that going."I thought if we could have kept playing that way, we'd have a chance," Villanova coach Jay Wright said. "They were taking away our inside game and kind of left us to shoot 3s and we couldn't handle it. Give them the credit. Because they're long, they have the ability to get out on shooters. We had to make a couple of those and we couldn't do it."Syracuse trailed for much of the first half. After Triche was called for his fourth foul with 16:26 left in the second, the Orange were without their top two scorers and clinging to a 36-34 lead.After Arcidiacono scored from the wing with 13:30 left to pull Villanova within 40-36, Michael Carter-Williams passed to Coleman for a basket off the glass after a pretty fake underneath.The crowd of 27,586, largest of the season in the Carrier Dome, then finally had the chance to roar as Syracuse went on a 15-4 run to gain a 14-point cushion.Coleman started the surge with a two-handed slam dunk, and Cooney finished it with two 3-pointers in a 44-second span, giving Syracuse a 61-47 lead with 5:48 left."It's usually a run like that that if you don't answer it, then you're playing from behind," Wright said. "We knew if we didn't answer that, it would be over. We tried, but we didn't answer."James Bell's 3-pointer from the left corner narrowed the Syracuse lead to 64-58 with 2:03 left, but the Orange held on with some clutch free throw shooting.In its only loss of the season, an 83-79 setback to Temple at Madison Square Garden, Syracuse missed 15 free throws. Against the Wildcats, the Orange finished 24 of 30 from the line, making 8 of 10 in the final 90 seconds. Grant, a 35.7 percent shooter from the line, finished 5 of 6."I was definitely more comfortable," Grant said. "I was able to get into a rhythm. It felt good playing a lot of minutes."The game started out as a struggle on both sides. In the first five minutes, the teams combined to shoot 1 of 14, committed five turnovers and registered five blocks as Nova took a 3-2 lead. Held to 9 of 29 shooting in the opening half, Villanova wasn't much better in the second and finished 17 of 54 (31.5 percent)."We got what we wanted the first half, but the second half we kind of went away from what our game plan was," Arcidiacono said. "We kind of just did our own thing, didn't try to stick together."Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press

Born on June 18, 1971, Nathan Morris helped put Philadelphia back on the map for music beginning in the late 1980s, when this high school student founded the all-boy group Boyz II Men. Morris and three other singers became known for harmonizing perfectly, and for topping the charts with their ballads, R&B songs and dance tunes.
"I sing some of the leads, but if those two guys were not up there with me, it's not something I'd consider doing. I started the group literally because I wanted to be able to hide in the back behind the other guys."
Early Years
Nathan Bartholomew Morris was born on June 18, 1971, on the south side of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. His family struggled financially after his father left when Morris was about 10. The youngster found solace in the church choir and playing trumpet. When Morris was in the fourth grade, a vocal teacher noticed his singing potential and gave him private lessons. She and Morris's mom nudged him into auditioning for the Philadelphia High School for the Creative & Performing Arts. After belting out classical songs in Italian and German, he was accepted almost immediately.
Boyz II Men
One day in history class, a bored Nathan Morris began singing aloud. Fellow student Marc Nelson soon joined in. The twosome quickly bonded and decided to form the group Boyz II Men in 1988. Singers Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman and Michael McCary signed on too. The fivesome got their big break in 1989, when they caught the attention of singer and music producer Michael Bivins at his Bell Biv DeVoe concert. Bivins, formerly of New Edition fame, offered them a deal. All were on board except Nelson, who bowed out.
Making Music History
The quartet released their debut album, Cooleyhighharmony, in 1991. The first single, the dance track "Motownphilly," reached the top five on the pop charts and No. 1 on the R&B charts. A Grammy followed, as did hits like "It's The End of the Road," which remained at the top of the pop charts for 13 weeks, breaking a record Elvis Presley had held since 1956. The group made history again in 1994, when "On Bended Knee" replaced another of their songs, "I'll Make Love to You," for the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 chart—a feat accomplished previously only by Elvis Presley and the Beatles.
Boy Bands United
Throughout their career, Boyz II Men have collaborated with such megastars as Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Justin Bieber. Though McCary left the group due to scoliosis in 2003, the remaining members carried on. Their last two albums were produced by Randy Jackson. In the summer of 2013, Boyz II Men joined "The Package Tour," also featuring fellow boy bands New Kids On The Block and 98 Degrees.
