Naruto wants to visit Sasuke's room, but the nurses tell him that he's not accepting visitors. On his way, he sees Kakashi. He tells Naruto that someone better than he, will train him. Then Ebisu arrives. Naruto complains why a man weaker than himself, has to train him. Naruto almost tells Kakashi of when he defeated Ebisu using his Harem Technique but Ebisu covers his mouth, persuading him not to tell anybody (bribing him with free ramen).
After Kakashi leaves, Ebisu challenges Naruto to run away from him, and promises his resignation as Naruto's tutor if he escapes, and also that he would be able to take over some of Kakashi's duties, thus leaving Kakashi time to train Naruto himself. Naruto hastily agrees and proceeds to attempt to hide, to no avail as he is easily found by Ebisu. Naruto resorts to using his transformation technique to imitate a girl on a billboard sign but is again discovered by Ebisu. As a last resort he creates many shadow clones and they all run away in different directions. Ebisu however easily dispatches the clones and finds the real Naruto.
After that, they eat together at the Ramen Ichiraku. He then explains his usage of chakra. After eating, they head to the Hot Spring Town. Ebisu tells Naruto that they will train here. He then explains about the water walking practice. Excited, Naruto attempts it too but falls into the water. He tries repeatedly but to no avail as he continuously falls into the water. Watching Naruto, Ebisu realises that he misunderstood him, and even thinks that he is an excellent Konoha ninja.
Ebisu sees a white-haired man peeking and attacks him but the white haired man summons a frog and easily defeats him. Naruto witnesses this attack.
- This was the last episode of Naruto to be broadcast on Danish television.
- This was the last episode to broadcast on Adult Swim, before they skipped to Naruto: Shippūden, but they are redoing the original series from the first episode on Adult Swim.

I realise none of this is news to those of you reading this, but I post this as the first in a new series I'll be doing on self-publishing, featuring interviews with authors who have self published.
I also realise that Amanda Hocking is probably not the best example to use – in the same way that J K Rowling was never the best example to use for "achieving success as a children's writer". Both are statistical outliers, but, equally, both have done, and are doing things that are groundbreaking, will shift boundaries and open doors. True, both had a product that the market was greedy for. True, not everyone can create a product like that. And, yes, luck inevitably plays a role.
Now, you may wonder why I, who have spent years submitting work to traditional publishers, am doing a series on self-publishing. But the reality is the publishing industry, whether purists like it or not, is changing. Economic factors are a key influence - while technology makes it all possible – from the actual self-publishing of an e-book to the marketing through social recommendation engines and social networking sites.
More and more writers are turning to self-publishing as a means of getting their work out into the big wide world. A recent survey showed that 20 million people read e-books last year, creating a very nice market of which self-published authors can take advantage.
New York Times best-selling spy thriller novelist Barry Eisler recently turned down a $500,000 book deal with an unnamed legacy publisher in order to self-publish his own popular books. "Based on what's happening in the industry, and based on the kind of experience writers…are having in self-publishing, I think I can do better in the long term on my own."
Russ Grandinetti, vice president of Kindle Content for Amazon, says "It's possible for any author to make their book available with little or no upfront cost and reach a global audience." Digital publishing, he says, "gives a chance to a great book that otherwise might have been overlooked."
I have had countless arguments over the past few years with fellow writers and authors about e-readers and e-books and self publishing. Many have pooh-poohed the idea and lamented the "death" of the paper book. And let's not kid ourselves, there is also a certain elitism and fear of change at work. I, however, tend to take the more pragmatic view of if not, why not.
Given the recent article in the Bookseller which started by saying "The [children's publishing] industry is "haemorrhaging talent" as authors and illustrators are finding it increasingly difficult to make a living in the children's sector", it seems only logical for illustrators, writers and authors to consider the alternatives.
In the Bookseller article, children's author, Julia Jarman, is quoted as saying, "Royalties are down, advances are down, and publishers are offering less for new books."
Nick Green, who I interviewed last year, says in the same article, "I am not going to kid myself that I can support my family by writing fiction. At best it is extra pocket money. I would never give up the day job - not even if my next advance was six-figures, because another might never come again."
It looks, by all accounts, pretty dire out there – and besides that, many authors lament the amount of effort they put into their work, only to reap a tiny proportion of the reward – should they even get a deal. Others complain about the way they are treated by their publishers and the industry per se.
In my own experience, you can work your butt off, put hours and hours into polishing and honing your craft and your manuscript, you can attend courses and go to conferences, spend money on having your work professionally assessed and still be rejected because either publishers are not taking chances, or the wrong person read it on the wrong day, or "it's not right for our list", or you missed "a trend" by a nanosecond. So what do you do then? Do you put the manuscript away and begin yet another (and when do you call it quits on all the others you write), do you give up – or, do you look, as Amanda Hocking did, for alternatives?
Amanda Hocking says on her blog that in February 2010, after countless rejections, 'I said to my room-mate, "I don't think it's going to happen. I don't think I'm ever going to get published. I don't know what more I can do. I've worked like a factory putting out the best books I possibly can. I've studied trends, the industry, business models."
It was then that she started researching e-books and discovered that for every $2.99 book she could sell, she could keep 70%, with the rest going to the online bookseller. For every 99-cent book she could sell, she could keep 30%.
She said to her room-mate, "I'm going to sell books on Amazon through Kindle, and I bet I can make at least a couple hundred bucks by the end of the summer to go to Chicago."
In March she published her book with Lulu and sold it via Amazon. In April she published her first book to Kindle. She published a second book in the same way. She sold 45 books in two weeks. She put out another book. The rest, as they say, is history.
And here's the irony, Amanda Hocking is publishing in a genre of which traditional publishers will tell you, "Sorry, but we think the trend has passed." Clearly the market which buys Amanda Hocking's books doesn't agree. Her vampires remain hugely popular (in the same way that gran'ma's tried and tested recipe for brownies remains popular over decades). And this is the thing, publishers are always looking for the "next big thing", they're making and breaking trends with, it would often seem, little acceptance of the fact that the market will eat brownies and read vampires till the cows come home – and in the process, many great books simply get overlooked.
As Amanda Hocking says: "From what I can guess, [my success] happened because the books are in a popular genre."
Over the next few weeks I will be asking several authors why they chose to self publish and how they set about it, how they rate their success, the pitfalls of self-publishing and more besides.
But first, with some of Amanda's books loaded onto my e-reader, I'm going off for a few days to point my camera at lions, stalk leopards and laugh with hyenas. Feel free to talk amongst yourselves in my absence.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Herb Gardening Basics (page 2 of 2)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Soil Requirements
In general, herbs prefer a moderately rich soil. An overly rich soil (or excessive fertilizing) can lead to vigorous growth. However, many people find that the flavor of overfertilized herbs is bland, probably due to reduced essential oil content.
The soil in your herb garden should have excellent drainage. If yours doesn't, consider growing your herbs in raised beds or containers.
Caring for Herb Plants
Most herbs will thrive with about an inch of water a week, similar to other vegetable plants. Herbs in raised beds and containers will dry out more quickly than those planted directly in the garden and may need more frequent watering. Keep garden beds weeded, especially early in the season as plants are getting established.
Once established, most herb plants are remarkably resistant to insect and disease attack. The oils that give them their aroma and flavor likely evolve to repel pests. However, keep an eye out for insects such as aphids, and diseases such as powdery mildew.
Harvesting Herbs
Harvest herbs by cutting back a shoot to just above a leaf. This will both provide you with a harvest and encourage nice, bushy growth.
In general, an herb's flavor is most prounounced when it is harvested just before the plant begins to flower.
- Heavily harvested herb plants can look untidy. Consider interplanting herb beds with annual flowers to camouflage the trimmed plants.
- Herbs can help repel insects in the vegetable garden, and provide important habitat for beneficial insects.
- Perennial mints, including spearmint, applemint, and peppermint, are very vigorous and can become invasive. Rather than planting them directly in the garden, grow the plants in containers, then sink the containers into the garden. This will contain the roots and limit spreading.
- Perennial herbs that are not hardy in your region can be overwintered indoors, then brought back outdoors in the spring. For example, in USDA Zones 7 and colder, bring rosemary and lavender plants indoors in late fall. Maintain them in a cool, bright spot over the winter, and move them outdoors again in the spring. In USDA Zones 8 and warmer, rosemary and lavender can be left outdoors year-round.

Follow these steps now to prepare for the flu during the 2009-2010 flu season
Symptoms of H1N1 The symptoms of novel H1N1 flu virus in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. A significant number of people who have been infected with novel H1N1 flu virus also have reported diarrhea and vomiting. The high risk groups for novel H1N1 flu are not known at this time, but it's possible that they may be the same as for seasonal influenza. People at higher risk of serious complications from seasonal flu include people age 65 years and older, children younger than 5 years old, pregnant women, people of any age with chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease), and people who are immunosuppressed (e.g., taking immunosuppressive medications, infected with HIV).

Cysticercosis is an infection by a parasite called Taenia solium (T. solium), a pork tapeworm that creates cysts in different areas in the body.
Cysticercosis is caused by swallowing eggs from T. solium, which are found in contaminated food. Autoinfection is when a person is already infected with adult T. solium, then swallows eggs following improper hand washing after a bowel movement.
Risk factors include eating pork, fruits, and vegetables contaminated with T. solium as a result of undercooking or improper food preparation. The disease can also be spread by contact with infected feces.
The disease is rare in the United States, but is common in many developing countries.
Most often, the worms stay in muscles and do not cause symptoms.
Symptoms that do occur depend on where the infection is found in the body:
Tests that may be done include:
Treatment may involve:
If the cyst is in the eye or brain, steroids should be started a few days before other medicines to avoid problems caused by swelling during antiparasitic treatment. Not all patients benefit from antiparasitic treatment.
Sometimes surgery may be needed to remove the infected area.
The outlook good, unless the lesion has caused blindness, heart failure, or brain damage. These are rare complications.
If you have any symptoms of cysticercosis, contact your health care provider.
Avoid unwashed foods, do not eat uncooked foods while traveling, and always wash fruits and vegetables well.

As part of a project that reportedly is one of the largest sequencing initiatives ever undertaken in the U.S., the Department of Veterans Affairs awarded Claritas Genomics a $9 million contract toward the exome sequencing of veteran samples including those from the Million Veteran Program (MVP) over the next 12 months.
For this project, Claritas Genomics, a genetic testing company spun out of Boston Children's Hospital earlier this year that primarily focuses on pediatric medicine, is receiving support from Life Technologies and its Ion Proton™ sequencing technology; Alvarez and Associates, which is providing technical support; and Lockheed Martin, which will be applying data security knowledge to help manage all the data that will be generated during the sequencing process.
MVP, a research program launched in 2011, is combining genetic, health, lifestyle, and military-exposure data collected from questionnaires, medical records, and genetic analyses all into a single database. MVP has more than 210,000 enrollees to date, and it is hoped that up to a million veterans in the VA study will enroll over the next five to six years.
"As a U.S. military veteran, I am proud of the fact that my company is able to serve those individuals who were/are willing to sacrifice all in service to our country," said Everett Alvarez, Jr., CEO at Alvarez & Associates, in a statement. "I feel that this effort will greatly improve our ability to understand and better assist those veterans in need as well as the future generations of veterans."

A previous study of 34 nuclear pedigrees segregating juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) gave significant evidence of linkage with heterogeneity to marker loci on chromosome 15q13-14 close to the candidate gene CHRNA7 (Hum. Mol. Genet. 6 (1997) 1329). The aim of this work was to further evaluate the p...

Post subject: Help in identifying a book.
I remember browsing through a book a month or so ago but did not get it at the time after talking myself out of it, but now I change my mind and want to read it.
I *think* it was a paranormal. It *could* be a young adult book. I do know the cover depicted a female's back (I think she was in a squatting position) with a big tattoo (?) with wings, covering her whole back. The heroine was asian or mixed asian/caucasian. I realize how little information I'm providing there and not all with certain facts/info. I was scouring the web for that book by the cover, but no luck.
Thanks so much if anyone can give me clues.

Melissa Marr's book INK EXCHANGE (sequel to WICKED LOVELY) has a cover like you're describing. The book is young adult paranormal. Here's a link to the Goodreads listing
Not sure if the heroine is Asian - though the cover image suggests it.

Thank you for the quick response! But that's not the book I was looking for. The book cover I remember was in lighter color and most of the back was seen, there wasn't much of the face, if all, depicted. Also the book was told in first person.
I know there's not much to on. *hangs head*

Is it Shadowfever by Karen Marie Moning? The paperback shows the heroine's back, and she has wings tatooed on the top part of her back. I think the tatoo was just for the cover though, maybe to represent the Fae because I don't remember Mac having any tatoos, at least not that particular one. This is the 5th book in the Fever series. Great series.

Thanks Angie, but it's definitely not Shadowfever because I already read it and it was good.
The cover I remember just had a big picture of a woman/girl's back with tattoo and wings that takes up 95% of the cover.
Who knew it would be so freaking hard to track down this book? Now I'm so determined to find it. *shakes fist*
It'll just be my luck that once I miraculously find it, it'll turn out to be not the book I wanted. Since I did browse through quite a few books at that time. *sighs*

I wanted to clarify, is the big tattoo of wings or does she have wings and a big tatto? And was it a mass market paperback, trade paperback, hardcover or e-book?

I believe it was a big tattoo and she had wings, although it's possible that it was a tattoo with wings also. The color scheme of the cover was white/pale overall not dark. It was an e-book. Thanks for asking.

Is it
byJessica Shirvington
Here is the blurb:
It starts with a whisper: "It's time for you to know who you are..."
On her 17th birthday, everything will change for Violet Eden. The boy she loves will betray her. Her enemy will save her. She will have to decide just how much she's willing to sacrifice.
Dangerously exciting and darkly romantic, EMBRACE is a compelling novel of good and evil, seductive desires and impossible choices. A centuries old war between fallen angels and the protectors of humanity chooses a new fighter. It's a battle Violet doesn't want, but she lives her life by two rules: don't run and don't quit. If angels seek vengeance and humans are the warriors, you could do a lot worse than betting on Violet Eden.
LINCOLN: He's been Violet's one anchor, her running partner and kickboxing trainer. Only he never told her he's Grigoripart human, part angeland that he was training her for an ancient battle between Angels and Exiles.
PHOENIX: No one knows where his loyalties lie, yet he's the only one there to pick up the pieces and protect her after Lincoln's lies. In a world of dark and light, he is all shades of gray.
Two sides: Angel or Exile.
Two guys: Lincoln or Phoenix.
The wrong choice could cost not only her life, but her eternity...
"In her YA paranormal romance debut, Jessica Shirvington combines "the badass-action of Vampire Academy, the complex love triangles of Twilight, and the angel mythology of Fallen, taken one step further." Book Couture
"Shirvington's debut is smart, edgy and addictiveand sure to leave readers clamoring for the rest of the series." Kirkus Reviews, STARRED
"One of the best YA novels we've seen in a while. Get ready for a confident, kick-butt, well-defined heroine." RT Book Reviews

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Positive Phase III results were reported today for compounds designed to fight multiple myeloma and asthma.
Novartis said its investigational compound LBH589 (panobinostat) in combination with bortezomib and dexamethasone met the primary endpoint of significantly extending progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma compared to bortezomib and dexamethasone alone. LBH589 is a pan-deacetylase (pan-DAC) inhibitor that works by blocking a key cancer cell enzyme that ultimately results in cellular stress and death of these cells.
"Given its mechanism of action, LBH589 has the potential to be an important treatment option for multiple myeloma," said Alessandro Riva, global head of oncology development and medical affairs at Novartis.
The company cited PANORAMA-1 (PANobinostat ORAl in Multiple MyelomA), a trial designed to evaluate LBH589 in patients with relapsed or relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. Novartis said PANORAMA-1 results showed LBH589 delivering "significant" clinical benefit, supporting the company's quest to market the drug as the first in its class of anticancer agents available to patients with multiple myeloma.
Details were not immediately released. Full results from PANORAMA-1, according to Novartis, continue to be evaluated and will be presented at an upcoming medical congress and discussed with regulatory authorities.
Earlier data showed that oral LBH589, when combined with bortezomib and dexamethasone, recaptures responses in heavily pretreated and bortezomib-refractory multiple myeloma patients, thereby providing these patients with a potential new option after failing prior standard treatments.
Benefits and risks of LBH589 are also being explored in additional hematologic malignancies through ongoing clinical trials, the company said.
Separately, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Theravance said the combination of ICS fluticasone furoate (FF) and the long-acting beta2 agonist vilanterol (VI) met its primary endpoint in a Phase III efficacy and safety study to support a new asthma indication for the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compound.
The companies said the combined 100/25 mcg dosage of FF/VI met its primary endpoint of statistically significant improvement in lung function compared with 100 mcg of FF alone. Lung function was defined for the study as 0–24-hour weighted mean forced expiratory volume in one second.
The 12-week study evaluated 990 patients with moderate to severe persistent asthma. Patients were randomized to one of three treatments taken once-daily in the evening—two dosages of FF/VI inhalation powder, 100/25 mcg and 200/25 mcg, and 100 mcg FF inhalation powder alone. The primary comparison was FF/VI 100/25 mcg versus FF 100mcg. The primary endpoint was weighted mean serial FEV1 at the end of the 12-week treatment period.
"We are pleased to see the results delivered by FF/VI in the treatment of asthma," Dave Allen, head of GSK's respiratory therapy area unit, R&D, said in a statement. "We have undertaken a large and comprehensive clinical program providing data on the efficacy and safety profile for FF/VI in asthma. With these additional data, we will consider our next steps in relation to an asthma filing in the United States."
The most common reported side-effects included headache, nasopharyngitis, upper respiratory tract infection, and influenza. Incidences of any on-treatment serious adverse events were similar across all treatment arms.
FF/VI—administered via a dry powder inhaler (DPI) called Ellipta®—is approved in the United States under the brand name Breo® Ellipta as an inhaled long-term, once-daily for maintenance treatment of airflow obstruction in patients with COPD, as well as chronic bronchitis and/or emphysema, as well as for reducing COPD exacerbations in patients with a history of exacerbations.

Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Antiviral therapy-focused biotech firm Haplogen and CeMM, the Center for Molecular Medicine of the Austrian Academy of Sciences, are making a collection of human cell lines available that are deficient for single genes. Haplogen and CeMM have been building the collection over the past three years as part of a public-private partnership, and, through Haplogen, the partnership plans to distribute requested cell lines to the research community.
The collection and the technological advances that enabled its development were published in Nature Methods on August 25 with the title "A reversible gene trap collection empowers haploid genetics in human cells." Using gene-trap mutagenesis in near-haploid human cells, researchers established a platform to generate and isolate individual "gene-trapped cells" and used it to prepare a collection of human cell lines carrying single gene-trap insertions. This growing library covers 3,396 genes—one-third of the expressed genome—is DNA-barcoded, and reportedly allows systematic screens for a range of cellular phenotypes. The collection will continue to expand until all the genes have been targeted.
Haplogen and CeMM say that cell lines of human origin are all vastly different from each other, often making them very difficult to control when performing genetic experiments, which can limit their use for drug discovery efforts and discovering the function of genes. This new collection, they say, circumvents this problem by providing individual gene mutations in an otherwise identical genetic background.
"This collection will fuel research in molecular medicine where the vast majority of human genes remain poorly understood and await functional characterization," said Prof. Giulio Superti-Furga, director of the CeMM who initiated this project, in a statement. "Obtaining human cells where an individual gene is inactivated has so far been difficult and very tedious. With this largest human cell line collection available to date we expect to drive countless scientific discoveries in the research community."
The cell line collection also received financial support from ZIT (technology agency of the city of Vienna).

Rose Bowl Duckcast
Sunday, Jan. 1, 11:15 p.m. PT
"Duck fans have been waiting for this day for a long time. The last time we saw the boys on the field, UCLA wasn't much of an opponent and Coach Kelly was about to enjoy some Dr. Pepper and send his Christmas presents with UPS. That night, the air was cold and crisp, and you had to scrape ice off your windshield before you could leave Autzen Stadium. Fast forward to Pasadena and the Ducks won't have to worry about any weather. Temperatures will be in the upper 70s at kickoff, under mostly clear skies. A light wind will come down off the canyons and it will be an absolutely amazing day for The Rose Bowl Game presented by Vizio. If you're going to the game, wear yellow and make sure to take sunscreen! Cheer on the Ducks to victory and bring home that really cool trophy! Go Ducks!"
Monday's game will be televised nationally on ESPN with the pregame show starting at 1:30 p.m PT (2:10 p.m. kickoff). DirecTV channel 206 (SD/HD), Dish Network channel 140 (SD/HD), Comcast channels 35 (SD) and 735 (HD).

On November 2, 2011, Hall of Fame inductee Spooner Oldham spoke with and performed for a sold-out audience in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Foster Theater. Oldham is a linchpin of Southern Soul and the Alabama sound, a fixture of famed Muscle Shoals and FAME studios, where his keyboard playing enlivened some of the biggest rock and roll songs of the past 50 years, including Aretha Franklin's "I Never Loved a Man," Wilson Pickett's "Mustang Sally" and Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman." Together with singer-songwriter Dan Penn, Spooner contributed a number of classics to the canon of rock, co-writing "Cry Like a Baby" by the Box Tops, "It Tears Me Up" by Percy Sledge and "I'm Your Puppet" by James and Bobby Purify.
Born Dewey Lyndon "Spooner" Oldham in Center Star, Alabama, Oldham is one of rock's most in-demand players, appearing on records and tours with luminaries such as Bob Dylan, Aretha Franklin and Neil Young, in addition to newer act Drive-By Truckers.
During his Hall of Fame series interview with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum director of education Jason Hanley, Oldham talked about the influence of Elvis Presley, his first forays into songwriting with "puppy love kind of songs," getting credit – and paid – in the early days of recording, working with Aretha Franklin on "I Never Loved a Man," "Chain of Fools" and "Natural Woman," jamming with Duane Allman and taking chances as a musician.
In this clip, Oldham explains the unusual circumstances surrounding the recording of James and Bobby Purify's 1966 hit "I'm Your Puppet" – a song Oldham co-wrote. Oldham also takes a seat at his electric piano for a moving solo performance of the track.

From the beginning of the 20th century, visual arts in Israel have shown a creative orientation influenced by the encounter between East and West, as well as by the land itself and its development, the character of the cities, and stylistic trends emanating from art centers abroad. In painting, sculpture, photography, and other art forms, the country's varied landscape is the protagonist: the hill terraces and ridges produce special dynamics of line and shape; the foothills of the Negev, the prevailing grayish-green vegetation and the clear luminous light result in distinctive color effects; and the sea and sand affect surfaces. On the whole, local landscapes, concerns, and politics lie at the center of Israeli art and ensure its uniqueness.
Organized art activity in the country began in 1906, the year Professor Boris Schatz (1867-1932) arrived from Bulgaria and founded the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Crafts in Jerusalem, according to a plan approved at the 1905 Zionist Congress to encourage talented young Jews to study art in the Land of Israel. By 1910, the school had 32 different departments, a student body of 500, and a ready market for its works throughout the Jewish world.
In addition to painters and sculptors, the country's artistic life comprises a host of talented craftspeople (ceramicists, silver and goldsmiths, weavers, calligraphers, glass blowers, etc.), many of whom specialize in modern interpretations of traditional Jewish ceremonial objects.
Enthusiasm for art prevails among people from all walks of life, as Israelis encourage and support art activities by attending exhibits - from one-artist retrospectives to comprehensive group shows at the country's many museums and private galleries - by frequenting the artists' quarters of Safed and Yafo or the artists' village of Ein Hod, and by purchasing the works of local artists.
At the outset, Bezalel's artistic orientation, which aimed at creating an 'original Jewish art' by fusing European techniques with Middle Eastern influences, resulted in paintings of biblical scenes depicting romanticized perceptions of the past linked to utopian visions of the future, with images drawn from the ancient Jewish Eastern communities as well as from the local Bedouin. Artists of this period include Shmuel Hirszenberg (1865-1908), Ephraim Lilien (1874-1925), and Abel Pann (1883-1963).
The first major art exhibition (1921), held at David's Citadel in Jerusalem's Old City, was dominated by painters from Bezalel. Soon afterwards, however, Bezalel's anachronistic, national-oriental narrative style was challenged both by young rebels within the Bezalel establishment and newly arrived artists, who began searching for an idiom appropriate to what they termed 'Hebrew' as opposed to 'Jewish' art. In an attempt to define their new cultural identity and express their view of the country as a source of national renewal, they depicted the daily reality of the Middle Eastern environment, with emphasis on the bright light and glowing colors of the landscape, and stressed exotic subject matter such as the simple Arab lifestyle, through a predominantly primitive technique, as seen in the works of painters including Israel Paldi, Tziona Tagger, Pinhas Litvinovsky, Nahum Gutman, and Reuven Rubin. By the middle of the decade, most of the leading artists were established in the new, dynamic city of Tel Aviv (est. 1909), which has remained the center of the country's artistic activity.
The art of the 1930s was strongly influenced by early 20th century Western innovations, the most powerful of which was the expressionism emanating from the ateliers of Paris. Works of painters such as Moshe Castel, Menachem Shemi, and Arie Aroch tended to portray an emotionally charged, often mystical reality through their use of distortion and, although themes still dealt with local landscapes and images, the narrative components of 10 years earlier gradually disappeared and the oriental-Muslim world vanished entirely.
German expressionism was introduced in the middle of the decade with the arrival of immigrant artists fleeing the terror of rising Nazism. Joining German-born artists Anna Ticho and Leopold Krakauer, who had come to Jerusalem some 20 years earlier, this group, which included Hermann Struck, Mordechai Ardon, and Jakob Steinhardt, devoted itself largely to subjective interpretations of the landscape of Jerusalem and the surrounding hills. These artists made a significant contribution to the development of local art, notably through the leadership given to the Bezalel Academy of Art by its directors, Ardon and Steinhardt, under whose guidance a new generation of artists grew to maturity.
The break with Paris during World War II and the trauma of the Holocaust caused several artists, including Moshe Castel, Yitzhak Danziger, and Aharon Kahana, to adopt the emerging 'Canaanite' ideology which sought to identify with the original inhabitants of the land and create a 'new Hebrew people' by reviving ancient myths and pagan motifs. The 1948 War of Independence led other artists, including Naftali Bezem and Avraham Ofek, to adopt a militant style with a clear social message. But the most significant group formed in this period was 'New Horizons,' which aimed to free Israeli painting from its local character and literary associations and bring it into the sphere of contemporary European art.
Two major trends developed: Yosef Zaritzky, the group's dominant figure, tended towards an atmospheric lyricism, characterized by the presence of identifiable fragments of local landscape and cool color tones. His style was adopted by others, notably Avigdor Stematsky and Yehezkel Streichman. The second trend, a stylized abstractionism ranging from geometricism to a formalism frequently based on symbols, was strongly evident in the works of the Romanian-born artist Marcel Janco, who studied in Paris and was one of the founders of Dadaism. The New Horizons group not only legitimized abstract art in Israel but was also its dominant force up to the early 1960s.
Artists of the 1960s provided the connecting link between the activities of the New Horizons group and the search for individuality in the next decade. Streichman and Stematsky, both teachers at the Avni Institute in Tel Aviv, strongly influenced a second generation of artists, including Raffi Lavi, Aviva Uri, Uri Lifschitz, and Lea Nikel who, on a search for a personal imagery, challenged the refined brushwork of lyrical abstractionism with pluralistic works, encompassing various expressive and figurative abstract styles derived from sources abroad.
These artists were part of "The Group of Ten," established in the late 1950s, who argued against the prevalent universalist tendency in art and strived towards making art that drew upon the Israeli landscape and Israeli individual. Unlike the European, elite aura that surrounded the New Horizons group, the Group of Ten was identified with the native Israeli 'Sabra' and the Palmah generation. In the late sixties, "realist" artists Ori Reisman and Yitzhak Mambush joined the group.
At Bezalel, Ardon's influence, especially with regard to themes and techniques, evidenced itself in the works of Avigdor Arikha, who developed a world of forms filled with intense spiritual meaning, and in the return to figurative themes evocative of the Holocaust and traditional Jewish subjects, as seen in the surrealistic paintings of Yossl Bergner and Samuel Bak. Jacob Agam, whose style is radically different, is a pioneer in optic and kinetic art, and his work is exhibited prominently both in Israel and abroad.
While the minimalism characteristic of art in the 1970s almost always included amorphic, transparent forms reminiscent of local abstract painting, the exposition of ideas rather than aesthetics dominated the works of artists such as Larry Abramson and Moshe Gershuni. The artists of the 1980s and 1990s, working in an atmosphere of individual experimentation, appear to be searching for content and a sense of Israel's spirit by integrating a wide range of materials and techniques, as well as images based on local and universal elements as diverse as the letters of the Hebrew alphabet and the human emotions of stress and fear. Current trends, as in the work of Pinhas Cohen-Gan, Deganit Beresht, Gabi Klasmer, Tsibi Geva, Tzvi Goldstein, David Reeb and others, continue to strive towards broadening the definition of Israeli art beyond its traditional concepts and materials, both as the unique expression of an indigenous culture and as a dynamic component of contemporary Western art.
The art of sculpture flourished in the country due to the efforts of a few sculptors over a long period of time. While Avraham Melnikoff (known for his massive stone lion at Tel Hai), and Ze'ev Ben-Zvi introduced cubism, the more academic school of sculpture, represented by Moshe Ziffer, Aharon Priver and Batya Lishansky, dominated the field prior to the establishment of the state.
At the end of the 1940s, the 'Canaanite' ideology influenced a number of artists, notably Yitzhak Danziger, whose figure of the pagan hero-hunter Nimrod, carved from red Nubian sandstone, is an attempt to create a synthesis between Middle Eastern sculpture and the modern concept of the human body, while the forms comprising his sculpture of sheep resemble those of desert rocks, water canals and Bedouin tents. Sculpture in the 1950s employed new materials and monumental scale as it became increasingly abstract, stimulated in part by the recent introduction of iron and Cor-Ten steel as a sculptural medium.
The desire to provide a tangible memorial to those who fell in Israel's wars gave sculpture a new impetus from the 1960s on, and a great many monuments, primarily nonfigurative, were introduced into the Israeli landscape. This genre is represented by Yehiel Shemi's welded steel naval memorial at Achziv, which deals both with the harshness of nature and the human capacity for violence and destruction, and Dani Karavan's "Monument to the Negev Brigade" outside Be'er Sheva, evoking the special character of desert combat.
Under the influence of the French school in general and expressionism in particular, and utilizing a wide range of materials, contemporary conceptual artists are creating installations and environmental sculptures to depict their individual reactions to social and political realities. Incorporating a powerful play of shapes and symbols, the works of controversial Israel Prize winner Yigal Tumarkin express his protest against war through geometric and figurative abstract forms, while the trend toward geometric minimalism is especially pronounced in Menashe Kadishman's persistent use of the images of sheep, which call up both an echo of the ram in the biblical sacrifice of Isaac and a personal myth symbolizing the helpless victim.
Several Israeli sculptors have gained international recognition, including Tumarkin, Karavan, Kosso Eloul, and Israel Hadany, whose works can be seen in public and private settings abroad.
Today's art photography in Israel addresses both the personal - probing questions of life and death, art and illusion - and the national/political. It is characterized by intimacy, restraint, and a preoccupation with the self; both a reaction to and an outgrowth of the romantic, informational style which dominated its early stages of development. In the mid-19th century, local photography was based largely on providing photographic services, concentrating on the depiction of holy places (mainly Christian) to sell as souvenirs to pilgrims and tourists. From 1880 onward, photographers began to document the development of the Jewish community in Palestine (Land of Israel), portraying the pioneers working the soil and building cities and towns through a heroic lens, oriented to a modern, secular ideology and the requirements of clients who used their pictures to further particular causes, such as the Jewish National Fund.
The country's development in its early years was faithfully recorded by a number of talented photojournalists, some still active today, including Tim Gidal, David Rubinger, Werner Braun, Boris Carmi, Zev Radovan, David Harris, and Micha Bar Am. Crossing the invisible boundary between 'photography as documentation' and 'art photography' are, among others, Aliza Auerbach, who concentrates on portraiture; Neil Folberg, Doron Horwitz and Shai Ginott, who focus on nature; David Darom, an expert underwater photographer; and Dubi Tal and Mony Haramati, a team specializing in aerial photography.
Several important venues for displaying photographic work have come into being in Israel, foremost among them being the photography biennale at Mishkan Le'Omanut in Kibbutz Ein Harod and the new Museum of Photography at Tel Hai in the northern Galilee.
In recent years, as photography as a pure artistic medium has become a legitimate art form, a number of creative photographers have emerged, with the active support of galleries, museums, curators, and collectors both here and abroad. The most notable of these creative photographers is Adi Nes, (b,1966). Born in Kiryat Gat to a family of immigrants from Kurdistan and Iran, Nes started making waves in the 1990s with 'Soldiers.' This series explored questions of national identity and particularly Israeli male identity in a homoerotic, ambivalent, and highly insightful context. His work, Bible Stories, which takes Biblical figures and recreates moments of their narrative in a troubling, contemporary setting (homeless, poverty stricken), addresses the shift in Israeli society from socialist values to a modern capitalistic way of life. The recent sale of his piece, untitled, (The Last Supper) for $264,000 at Sotheby's annual sale of Jewish and Israeli art, is considered a turning point in the global appreciation of Israeli art.
Barry Frydlender's photography is composed of dozens, sometimes hundreds, of photographs seamlessly combined to create single images of unnerving precision, clarity, and perspective. His 2007 exhibition, 'Place and time,' featured recent photographs that explored the circumstance of contemporary Israel: an all-male gathering in an East Jerusalem caf?, devout Haredi Jews on an annual pilgrimage, and the forced evacuation of Israeli settlers from the Gaza Strip. The exhibition was originally held in the Tel Aviv Museum Of Art, and then moved on to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the first solo exhibition of an Israeli artist at that museum.

text: Abstract: The burgeoning literature on the internationalization of emerging country NOCs asserts that the combination of technology transfer in the 1970s-80s and sustained high oil prices in the 1990s created an unprecedented opportunity in the 2000s for NOCs to internationalize their operations at a rapid pace, enabling them to compete successfully with International Oil Companies (IOCs) for dominance in global oil markets. The 2000s has indeed witnessed the expansion of emerging country NOCs' investment, exploration, production, and personnel abroad. And yet, this widespread ambition to internationalize has been realized with varying levels of success. We capture this variation by developing an original composite index that assigns NOCs a degree of internationalization score (DIS). We then provide an alternative explanation for why emerging country NOCs achieve such different levels of success. Contra existing explanations that emphasize structural and economic changes at the international level, we argue that an NOC's capacity to internationalize is constrained by domestic politics tied to the legacy of its mode of emergence (MOE) and the timing of convergence between the government and NOC management regarding the merits of internationalization.

What is your view on the matter or abortion?
A woman should have complete control over her own body. If she doesn't want to bring a fetus to term then there's no reason she should be legally obligated to.
I think when I used to post on PD I was still pro-life though. Dat catholic schooling.
I am not pro-abortion, but I don't support Pro-Life in the slightest. I just want women to have the choice to do what they want with their unborn fetus, I think the mother is worth ten times more than the baby.
Yeah, I totally understand why people wouldn't take the decision for themselves. But taking away the choice from other people is unacceptable.
I am Pro-abortion, especially when it comes to rape.
I believe every woman should get an abortion at least once, just so they can know whether or not they like it.
heh solly
Probably because the choices are usually Pro-life and Pro-choice, not Anti-life and Anti-choice.
i would rather see the mother have the child, but i'm not the one who's pregnant. it's a woman's body, what right do we have over her? it sucks to be the dad, but he doesn't really have much of a choice what the mother decides.
also, yeah, life does start when the egg and sperm combine, but it's not very advance and in all actuality, isn't human. even when it's a fetus, it isn't a conscience sentient human, there is even a stage where it isn't more advance than a common tadpole.
so the fetus (if it does feel any pain) wouldn't feel it as intense in later stages.
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
what i'm saying is, a woman has a choice. a man doesn't over the matter. even though i'd prefer the woman (in some cases not) to have the child.
Leo 3DS friend Code: 0344 - 9299 - 0936
I can't believe I just realized why Anti-Life sounded so familiar. I don't know if I want to support this dude.
Just something to think aboutThe moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual.

I love this fragrance. It smells so fresh. I have tried the lotion before and it is great. This is my first time doing the candle and I will definitely order it again. I wish it was offered in a larger size!
Best fragrance for Fall...
Some aromas seem to resonate better for me at specific times of the year, others are timeless. I find Olive Leaf to be a great addition to my home during the late Summer and Fall. It has a rich, warm, transporting scent that make my apartment feel cozier as the days become shorter and cooler. I prefer to enjoy Olive Leaf as a candle, home mist and cologne (and I am a guy!).

I deal with photography and book design since 1980... a long journey until now. I've designed books for the past twenty years, and I'm pleased to see how digital tools are great, and make easier the hard work. As far as I can see, photobooks and digital photography were made for each other, and together will live happily ever after!

On Thursday night, jazzy fusion guitarist extraordinaire Charlie Hunter will play an 8 p.m. show at The State Room. Hunter's an absolute monster on the guitar so six-string fans won't want to miss it, even though Hunter usually plans an eight-string. The show is a duet gig that also features Hunter's drummer, Scott Amendola. Tickets are $17 and remain on sale.
Check out Charlie right here:
The headline music event on Thursday, however, is undoubtedly the return to SLC by famed rapper Snoop Dogg, who hits the Gallivan Center. This promises to be a rowdy good time. Tickets start at $30.
Also, not to be outdone is the Utah State Fair, which gets rolling Thursday and '90s pop stars Wilson Phillips are at the fair for a 7 p.m. show. The show is free with gate admission. Provo's Fictionist, of Rolling Stone Magazine cover contest fame, is the featured music performer Friday. There is music offerings throughout the fair, along with the usual food, rides and other good-time schmaltz that provides a great farewell to summer fun.
Also Thursday night don't forget Max Pain & The Groovies headlines a 10 p.m. show at Urban Lounge. Fellow killer local bands, The Future of the Ghost and King Niko are the openers. Tickets are $5 and will be available at the door.
Two primo musical treats are also in store Friday when the Utah Symphony launches its countdown of Beethoven's symphonies, starting with No. 9. Conductor Thierry Fischer said earlier this year that the selection is an obvious choice for the 10th anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, because the music celebrates the triumph of the human spirit. Tickets remain on sale for both Friday and Saturday's performances, which begin at 8 p.m.
Another can't-miss show happens Friday when folk songbird Gillian Welch makes a relatively rare stop in SLC. She's touring behind "The Harrow and The Harvest," which is her first release in eight years. It's a fine record and there's no way I'm missing the chance to hear Welch sing or watch her duo partner, David Rawlings, blaze away on the guitar. Tickets are $30. If you like folk or old-school country, don't miss this concert. Here's a sample of the duo's work, right here:
Also, don't forget Saturday is the annual Avenues Street Fair from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It's on 2nd Avenue between E and I streets.

Questions that will be answered tonight at Houston
And they are loaded on offense. With Adrian Foster, Andre Johnson and Matt Schaub, they pose quite a challenge to our defensive unit with what could easily be someone's starting fantasy football team.
Which brings up these questions, soon to be answered by 8:30 tonight:
1) I know we won't be able to completely shut them down with such a potent offense but can we force a 3 and out during one of their first quarter series?
2) This matchup will be a true test for our red zone defense. Can we hold them to FG's?
3) Martin vs JJ Watt. Can our left tackle hold up on his own or will he need some help facing one of the best pass rushers in the league?
4) Will we be able to run the ball effectively? If we are to have a balanced offense, tonight we will need to see it.
5) Can we move the chains? When you play a team with a potent offense, your best defense can be a good offense that limits the opponents offensive opportunities.
These are the burning questions I hope we answer correctly.
What are yours?

Well, it seems like Pat Devlin is the only QB who can punch it in for a touchdown. Will we ever see Pat Devlin with the starting unit before the season starts?
I don't believe we will David. Although Matt Moore is certainly capable as well, we are going with Ryan Tannehill unless he gets injured. Tannehill needs the reps.
Pat Devlin has impressed me too. I actually thought about him getting a shot at starting. He looks in command and throws a nice ball and if he were on another team searching for a starting QB he may have won that job.
Our depth at QB is probably the best in the league.
Carl, I appreciate your opinion as you know... but you did realize JJ Watt doesn't play R DE or R OLB?
Watt would only match up against Martin 2 or 3 times total per game on some stunt/crossing play. I have said this and published it a few times all over S. Florida when some young ESPN reporter said that was a "Top 5 to Watch" for in our Houston v. Miami preseason game early last week.

With due respect to the other talented (and still huge) acts playing Salt Lake City (and environs) this week, it's pretty much impossible to top a visit by one of the Beatles.
The 68-year-old man is a legend. He's a knight.
OK, OK. Sir Paul McCartney will shatter the Rio Tinto Stadium tonight (starting at 7:30 p.m.) with his first concert visit to Salt Lake City (as part of his "Up and Coming Tour").
It's a pretty monumental affair, and what's more, Sir Paul's concert stops this year have been getting raves. Apparently, his set runs nearly three hours and is packed with about 40 songs. When this Beatle brings it, he brings it.
Honestly, I wish I was going. If you're one of the lucky audience members, please check in at SLScene tomorrow with your thoughts on the performance.
Also tonight:
Bare Naked Ladies with Mr. American Idol 2009, Kris Allen at Red Butte Garden. The action starts at 7 PM. I'll be there with a review for you tomorrow.
Wednesday, July 14 Lyle Lovett and his Large Band-also at Red Butte! Although Lovett gained fame ( he was already a successful actor/musician, but here me out) as Julia Robert's flame (see), he can more than hold his own. His sometimes raspy, sometimes twangy tunes and lyrics are so heartfelt, they'll take you places.
Check him out, here and if you can, tomorrow. I hope to be there, too. Lovett's music makes my heart ache.
Thursday, July 15: Here's another whopper concert for you: James Taylor and Carole King, at Energy Solutions Arena (7:30 PM). It's their Troubadour Reunion. Wow. Kinda like with Sir Paul, there's so much and so little to say about these two. Classic, iconic, magnificent. I was lucky enough to catch JT back when I was in high school, a million years ago. Now he's back in my new city, and like all the best things from youth, never gets old.
Saturday, July 17: Since we're talking about throwbacks, let's give it up for Ben Folds, formerly known to those in my demographic as Ben Folds Five. The piano riffs in Landed always did it for me, and if you can make it to Deer Valley, they'll surely do it for you. What's more, Ben Folds will play with the Utah Symphony as part of the Deer Valley Music Festival. It's truly going to be an event. The music starts at 7 PM.
