Earlier, at least 44 people died and more than 3 lakh people were misplaced taking shelter at various relief camps. The violence broke out over ethnical clashes between Bodos and Muslims residing in the region. Soon the fire of the riot scattered to its near by areas.
A 10-member coordination committee has been set up by Congress. The committee will look into the matters regarding violence in the state.
The Chief Minister of the state, Tarun Gogoi faced tremendous criticism over his alleged inept handling of a sensitive situation. However, the CM on Friday, Jul 27 claimed that violence will be brought under control soon.
The CM, who earlier on Thursday claimed that Assam "is not burning", later on Friday stated, "I am confident that we will be able to control, provide relief. The media is giving a wrong impression."
Meanwhile, Congress MP Rehman Khan criticised the CM and his government by openly stating, "There is a failure somewhere, but violence is contained. And now the Chief Minister is visiting. The major problem is how to rehabilitate the people who have fled, how to infuse confidence in the people and take up the rehabilitation system and see they are moved to their places from the camps."
Contradictory to Khan's statement, Digvijay Singh had earlier praised Gogoi for tackling the situation in the state effectively. "Tarun Gogoi and the whole administration tried to control the situation immediately," said Singh before adding, "Tarun Gogoi's performance should not be judged by only one incident."

I'm happy to announce that I've been accepted into the Telluride Bluegrass Festival's prestigious Troubadour Competition!
It's a wonderful event that pits some of the best songwriters in the world against one another in a six-round, steel-cage submission match.
Wait, what?
Oh, check that. Turns out it's a songwriting competition.
I guess I can pull back on my gym work a little bit.
All jokes aside, this is a wonderful honor, and if I can be honest with you, it's still slightly unbelievable to me. I'm looking forward to meeting the nine other fantastic songwriters that I'll be competing against, and I'm really looking forward to taking in the entire experience. I've never been lucky enough to attend the festival in Telluride before, and I can't think of a better way to cross it off my list.
If you'd like to check out the competition lineup, you can do so by clicking here.
Here's to music!

Chapter 7Mature
Elena's P.O.V.
"What are you talking about?" I asked in fear. "Someone's going to get hurt" she said as Stefan walked up to us. "Whats going on?" he asked. "Bonnie says someone's going to get hurt" I said to him. "Damon" he said. "Damon who?" Bonnie asked. "My brother" Stefan said. "I'm hoping he's the bad brother" Bonnie said. I just started laughing. "Yea he's the good brother" I said while Stefan and I were smiling.
Damon P.O.V.
I saw this brown headed girl in the woods. She looks like the perfect victim. I followed her as she was running then I created the fog that surrounded her. She started to get frightened. I used my fast speed to circle around her and she shouted "Who there!". I didn't answer as I attacked her and bit her neck. I drained her blood and left her lying on the ground.
Elena's P.O.V.
I looked a crossed the woods to see my brother Jeremy, drunk and walking into the woods. "Excuse me" I said as I walked towards my brother. I walked in the woods and followed Jeremy. All of a sudden he trips. "Vicki!" he said and I could smell her blood. My fangs came out. "It's Vicki" he said then he turned to look at me. There was fear in his face then he picked Vicki up bridal style and caried her to the picnic table and sat her down. "Someone call 911!" Jeremy shouted. I stayed in the woods trying to not think about the blood.
Stefan's P.O.V.
Elena left to go find her brother then her brother came out with a girl who lost a lot of blood. I could feel my fangs come out so, I left. Bonnie just looked at Vicki like she was in a trance. I had to leave.
Jeremy's P.O.V.
"You'll be fine Vicki" I whispered to her. What happened to Elena's face? I can't think about that right now Vicki is hurt. After about 10 minute the ambulance were here and they took Vicki and Matt her younger brother road in the back with her. I grabbed a beer and sat on a bench. Then Elena came next to me and said "Do you see those guys in the uniforms the last time I checked there the police". I took one last drink of my beer and through it behind me. "Are you OK?" she asked. "No" I said. "The world is going to move on. We should to. They don't care if our parents dead" she said. "Writing in your diary in the graveyard is that your way of moving on" I snapped at her then walked away.
Elena's P.O.V.
I walked over to Bonnie where Stefan was and asked her where he was. "He acted weird once he saw the blood. He said he had to leave, but I can give you a ride home" she said. "Can you give me a ride to Stefan?" I asked her. "Yea" she said then we were off.
She dropped me off at the Salvatore boarding house and I knocked on the door. "Hello, Elena" Damon said. "Where's Stefan?" I asked. "In his room" he said and I walked right past him up to Stefan's room. I knocked on the door and he opened it. "Elena what are you doing here?" he asked. "Making sure your alright" I said as I sat down on his bed. "Yea I'm fine how are you?" he said. "My brother saw my vampire face" I said. "He doesn't know your a vampire" Stefan said in shock. "Nope your the only one that knows, well, besides Damon" I said as he sat down next to me. "Are you planning on telling him?" he asked. "Not anytime soon" I said. "I'm sorry" he said. "For what?" I asked. "For you to have to go through this" he said. I kissed him and well you know, it went all the way.
~~~La La La~~~
Bonnie's P.O.V.
I walked into my grams house and sat down on the couch next to her. "Grams I had this feeling that someone was going to get hurt and it actually happened. What's wrong with me?" I asked. "Nothing dear, your a witch" she said. "But I don't want to be a witch" i said as a tear went down my cheek. "I'm sorry" she said then I went up to my room and went to sleep.
Matt's P.O.V.
I was sitting in a chair next to the hospital bed that Vicki was sleeping in. She opened her eyes. "Vic what attacked you in the woods?" I asked. "Vampire" she said then she was out again. Were vampire real?

I know your going to break me apart
into a million little pieces,
and strip me of all I was,
So why do I feel like this?
My skin is thirsty for yours,
and I crave your whisper in my ear,
making chills rush down my spine.
Your hand slips from my loose grasp,
I can sense the pain your about to cause me,
like guilt settling in the pit of your stomach,
or a hundred knives,
razor sharp,
gliding over your back.
Yet as the red spills out,
all I can physically feel is the inevitable attraction,
pulling me closer,
allowing me to drown in your pale eyes,
allowing your body to push me deeper.
This thirst will never quench
unless I get hurt.

Question Time Extra Time (5 Live)
James O'Brien (LBC 97.3)
Sunday Feature: Living and Present: Laurie Anderson on Performance Art (R3)
Our nation's parliamentarians have returned from their lengthy summer hols (in a cottage in Cornwall, on a yacht in the Med, bonced off their hoo-has on the terrace at Space, wherever) and with them they bring 5 Live's Question Time Extra Time. And, wow, does 5 Live make that sound exciting! The lady who does the sting – the Question Time Extra Time title – has a level of voice-thrill rivalled only by that deep-voiced bloke who does the "This fall... prepare to be amazed..." bits for film trailers. The music bed underneath the opening menus is Faithless-style come-on house. And Stephen Nolan and John Pienaar are on upbeat form.
I've changed my mind about Stephen Nolan. I still can't stand his oozy empathy with callers who are going through a hard time, but on QTXT (doesn't that sound contemporary?) he's a fine host. Completely on top of both his material and the show's format, he reminds me of the best of commercial radio presenters, ready for action and argument. He's like an excited child, revved up for the playground, and it infects John Pienaar. "Come on, admit it, you've missed us, haven't you?" enthused the usually stately Pienaar, who went on to describe George Osborne as having "an aura, a glow of confidence on his newly coiffed head". Nolan used the word "simulcast". Everything was go go go!
Question Time Extra Time is actually rather a weird show, though if you're a sixth-former or a university student studying politics, it's an ideal listen. Three hours long, the first half hour is taken up with a scripted summary from Nolan and Pienaar of what's going on in the political world. This is followed by a quick phone debate about one or two of these topics, with low-level politicians. Then, at 10.45pm, the "simulcast" of BBC1's Question Time happens. I wonder what Nolan and Pienaar are up to when that's on? Presumably they're shouting at the telly like the rest of the nation. Or are they kicking back with Family Guy?
Anyway, the final hour and a quarter is filled with callers wanting to chat about what they've just heard. The war in Syria, the Royal Mail sell-off, the UK economy, Labour and the unions, Ed Miliband's popularity... The first caller on Thursday was, unfortunately, a scary ranter who insisted that President Assad didn't use chemical weapons and, when Nolan challenged him, shouted: "Don't contradict me! I have better information than you!" Quietly, he was cut off and the conversation moved on. I find phone-ins quite hard to handle – it's the way nobody ever changes their mind about anything that gets me – and so tuned in and out, and at no point were Nolan and Pienaar anything other than excellent. For those who are interested, most listeners wanted to talk about the Royal Mail.
If you're in the mood for something gentler, then may I recommend James O'Brien's Mystery Hour podcast? I keep meaning to mention it, and now I have. Just one hour of O'Brien's weekly output – he has a morning phone-in show on London station LBC and presents the No Pressure to Be Funny panel show and podcast with comedians Alistair Barrie and Nick Revell – the Mystery Hour is proving a very popular separate podcast thang. The premise is simple. Callers phone in with a question they want answering – stuff like "Does your blood get thicker when it's cold?" or "Why do planes have their blinds up on landing?" – and other callers phone in with the answers. The show is funny, because O'Brien is funny and has a gentleness lacking from most commercial radio phone-ins. It's great.
Just space for Laurie Anderson on Radio 3 talking about performance art. "I have no idea what performance art is," she said, winningly, winningly, before presenting a stimulating, well-researched programme that gave us a very exact idea. "Let's call it attention art," she concluded. "Or now art." Interesting. And so much more refreshing than people shouting at one another.

Let It Rain
You set here alone, on your knees,
Because your legs, they feel weak,
You crumbled to the floor and your crying,
You yell to the heavens, "I'm done trying!"
You're not sure if you expect an answer back,
But you don't really care, your chest, it hurts,
Like a snake that constricts, it feels tight,
And, in you, there's not much more fight.
Its long faded with you're will,
This life, this pain just feels to real,
And you question if you can ever be free,
Is there more to see.
You just feel so numb,
There's nothing but ache,
And in the back of your mind,
You know happiness is something you'll never find.
Just when the silence grows to long,
Through the speakers, comes a song.
And you can't help but to listen,
At the words even though your eyes, with tears, still glisten.
Those words, you might bend till you break,
Because its all you can take,
Repeat over and over and you realize its Rascal Flatts, stand.
In a way its telling you, you should plant your feet on solid land.
You listen as the rain starts to fall,
And you move to stand by the wall,
Looking out of the window its like a cloud of white,
With nothing but dark, no ounce of light,
And in the back of your mind you say, the words you wish you could speak aloud one day:
"Let it rain, because there is no more pain. Let it shower down and not seem so gloom and black, make it easy to find my way back, one day, let the sorrow fade and allow the happiness to come and stay."

WB Assembly passes bill to regulate chit fund companies
However, the amendments were minor and there were no changes in the most controversial portions of the Bill.
Kolkata: In a fallout of the Saradha chit fund scam in West Bengal, the state Assembly on Tuesday passed a new bill on protecting investor interests in chit fund companies. The Bill was passed with minor amendments in a special session of the Assembly. However, there was no amendment in the most controversial portions of the Bill, namely the definition of Competent Authority (clause 8) and Section 22 (2) which empowers the Act with retrospective effect.
The Left asked for division in both cases and lost (182 votes to 58 in the first proposed amendment and 183 votes to 59 in the second proposed amendment).
The Congress staged a walkout at the fag end of the discussion, even as Mamata welocmed the passing of the bill. "This is a timely and relevant step taken by the government. We realize our shortcomings only when something like this happens. Our whole purpose is to return money to the poor depositors. We have received names of 73 companies from the Centre which are under scanner. No company who cheats people will get away."
She added, "We have announced closure of 6-7 units belonging to two financial deposit-taking companies which were established in 2011. The two companies were among the list of 73 companies operating out of Bengal which are under the scanner of the union corporate affairs ministry. We have ordered that the closure of those units should take place within 24 hours."

Saturday, March 13
Family Albums My time in Birmingham has come to end. This has been an amazing week, and I have heard some incredible stories--stories about Birmingham's history, Greek immigration, the restaurant business, and the families that have been here running cafes and hot dog stands for decades. The photograph pictured here serves as the perfect symbol of my trip. It is a photograph of The Fish Market's George Sarris, holding a photograph of his great-grandfather that was taken in Greece. George carries this photograph around in his wallet as a reminder of his heritage. As another element of this oral history project, we hope to be able to collect images like this one to add to the archive and serve as a genealogical component to our study. While this endeavor originated as an oral history project to capture the history of Greek-owned restaurants in Birmingham, there is still a much bigger tale to tell.

My name is Luz Aguilar and I am the mother of 5 children: 3 girls and 2 boys. When I was 25 I left Guatemala since my husband left me and I decided to move to California to provide my kids an opportunity for a better future.
For years I cleaned private houses until one day I got employed as a cleaner for a furniture company. While working there I suffered a bad injury caused by an accident on the workplace, which ultimately left me with a partial disability and incapable of continuing my work as a cleaner.
With the reimbursement accorded by the court, I decided to open my own shop and become a small entrepreneur to keep supporting my family.

The Loneliest Man In The World
A fairytale story of an unwelcome wish..
Have you heard the story
Of the man who wished to be left alone?
If not then listen, for I shall tell,
But I warn you now -
It does not end well.
This man he found a lamp;
In the lamp he found a note;
On the note he read
"Out for tea - make one wish
And make it well!"
Well indeed! The man he thought,
And closed his eyes and wished.
He wished to be alone, to need nothing else
And noone else
To live.
That's a foolish wish! He thought, but then
He vanished, no chance to wish again.
The Genie (for it was his lamp
And his note the man had read
And said) took the man's little house
From his little town, with its nosy neighbours,
Peeping Toms,
Prying eyes,
Gossip tongues,
And placed it in a magic circle only yards away,
It was so dark in that circle one could not see
Light of day.
The man was happy with his lot - he pottered,
Prattled, practiced and pensified
Till his eyes were red and his fingers shaking...
His best friend was the cuckoo clock,
He daren't trust the kettle and
The toaster and the teapot
Were definitley plotting something!
One day the spell broke, but
Noone knew why.
Only a bunch of the boldest and bravest
Dared to venture into that invisible, amazing,
Magical, mysterious circle.
They found him fully dressed,
Hat, coat, scarves, shoes,
Lying dead in the bath tub.
I don't suppose we'll find out why.
Perhaps if we asked the cuckoo clock.

New York — Six in ten (64%) global citizens think they need to live better, finds a new survey by global research company Ipsos on behalf of Reuters News, but eight in ten (81%) say they wish they had a recipe or plan for living better.
The poll of 19,216 respondents in 24 countries finds that a majority (73%) think living better requires a plan, but a substantial minority (27%) thinks life just happens and that it is not something you can plan.
A majority (64%) disagree (27% strongly, 38% somewhat) that 'my life is fine the way it is, I don't need to live better.' Those appearing to most feel they need to live better and disagree with this statement are from Hungary (89% disagree strongly+somewhat), South Korea (81%), Russia (78%), South Africa (77%) and Turkey (74%). Those most likely to agree their life is fine the way it is are from Saudi Arabia (64% agree strongly+somewhat), India (60%), Sweden (57%), Germany (48%) and Canada (46%).
While they would like to live better, global citizens seem unsure of how to accomplish the goal. The poll finds that eight in ten (81%) agree (42% strongly, 39% somewhat) 'I wish I had a plan or recipe for living better.' Those most likely to agree they wish they had a plan for living better are from Indonesia (96% agree strongly+somewhat), China (92%), Brazil (90%), South Korea (90%) and Hungary (89%). Only half (53%) in Sweden feel this way, followed by 64% in Germany and Great Britain, 65% in Australia and 67% in Canada.
Perhaps they are looking for this recipe because a similar proportion (79%) agrees (41% strongly, 38% somewhat) that 'living better is more difficult than ever before'. The French are most likely to agree with this sentiment (90% strongly+somewhat), with Hungary (89%), Italy (89%), India (87%) and Belgium (86%) next in line. Respondents in Sweden are split on this measure (51% agree), while Indonesia (67%), Canada (72%), Australia (73%), Germany (73%) and Great Britain (74%) join them at the bottom of the list but still hold majority support for the statement.
Though a majority (73%) say 'living better requires a plan,' three in ten (27%) say 'living better just happens, it's not something you can plan.' This second group of people seems to prioritize taking life as it comes. Those in France lead on this measure by a considerable margin; 67% of French respondents agree living better is not something you can plan. They are followed by half of those in Belgium (49%) and Germany (46%) as well as four in ten of those in Poland (44%) and Spain (41%). Those most likely to seek more control in their lives are in Indonesia, where 94% are planners when it comes to living better. They are followed by South Africa (92%), South Korea (90%), Hungary (87%) and Sweden (87%).
Global citizens were given a list of potential factors in 'improving your own personal well-being – your general health and quality of life.' Of these, 'a stronger economy in my country' (89% - 56% very important, 33% somewhat important), 'better living conditions' (84% - 50% very, 34% somewhat) and 'strengthen my family relationships' (84% - 49% very, 35% somewhat) come out as the top three important factors.
Eight in ten respondents say the following factors are also important to their personal well-being: 'eat better' (81% - 42% very, 39% somewhat), 'more or better sleep' (80% - 41% very, 39% somewhat), 'learn something new/find a new challenge' (79% - 40% very, 39% somewhat) and 'do more exercise/play more sports' (77% – 37% very, 40% somewhat).
Whatever the priorities, global citizens agree living better requires a well-rounded approach. Eight in ten (80%) agree (35% strongly, 45% somewhat) that 'for me, living better is defined more holistically today - it's no longer just about physical or mental health.' This opinion is held most strongly by those in China, where nearly all respondents (97% strongly+somewhat) agree. They are followed by those in Indonesia (95%), France (90%), Hungary (90%), Poland (88%) and South Korea (85%). Even in Sweden, where support for the viewpoint is lowest, a majority (63%) still agree with the statement. They are preceded at the bottom of the list by the United States (64%), Great Britain (68%), Canada (71%) and Australia (71%).

These are some of the findings of an Ipsos Global @dvisor poll conducted between on behalf of Reuters News. The survey instrument is conducted monthly in 24 countries via the Ipsos Online Panel system. The countries reporting herein are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States of America. An international sample of 19,216 adults aged 18-64 in the US and Canada, and age 16-64 in all other countries, were interviewed between February 7-21, 2012. Approximately 1000+ individuals participated on a country by country basis with the exception of Argentina, Belgium, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden and Turkey, where each have a sample 500+. Weighting was then employed to balance demographics and ensure that the sample's composition reflects that of the adult population according to the most recent country Census data and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100% response rate would have an estimated margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points for a sample of 1,000 and an estimated margin of error of ± 4.5 percentage points for a sample of 500 19 times out of 20 per country of what the results would have been had the entire population of the specifically aged adults in that country been polled.

Other WORKS AT AUCTION
Lee Ufan (b. 1936) With Winds signed and dated 'L. Ufan 90' (lower right); signed, titled and dated 'With Winds 1990 Lee Ufan' (on the reverse) acrylic on canvas 44 1/4 x 57 1/2 in. (112.3 x 146 cm.) Painted in 1990. Lee Ufan''''''''s With Winds is one of the last works in a series of evocative abstract paintings the artist began in 1982 and marks the culmination of a ten year investigation into free flowing form. Painted in 1990, the present work exhibits the progression of Ufan''''''''s conversation with abstraction in comparison to the ever-changing volatility of the wind. Beginning with a light colored off-white canvas, he moves his brush through the pigment, distributing color in expressive streaks across the painting''''''''s surface. Some appear darker than others as Ufan lets the materials speak for themselves, allowing them to dictate the outcome of his process. The artist has long been intrigued with the concept of infinity and explores the never ending enigma with each stroke. By spreading the pigment from thick to thin, Ufan creates an infinite array of shades and figures within his never-ending composition. As the artist has stated: "One way of showing the idea of infinity in a picture is in the repetition of figures. As with living organisms, it is repetition of birth and death, death and birth, yet it must be sequenced so each movement is unique and separate. The organic device whereby each brushstroke, each figure is independent and mutually related makes a picture full of forces" (quoted in an unpublished Board note presented to Tate Gallery Trustees, July 1997, Tate Artist Catalogue File, Lee Ufan, A21074). Lee Ufan studied philosophy at Nihon University in Tokyo after deciding the subject was essential to his future artistic endeavors. This decision would indeed prove indispensable as his philosophical training would go on to inform the core of his views on abstraction. After finishing his studies and starting to paint full-time, Ufan became a key theorist and establishing member of the Mono-ha, an avant-garde materials-based art movement in Japan during the 1960s, and the first Japanese contemporary art movement to gain international recognition. Here, Ufan pronounces his own voice and notable style. His vision of abstraction was vastly different from those of western artists such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning. Instead of catalyzing his abstraction through expression and emotion, Ufan and the Mono-ha practitioners focused on perception and the artist''''''''s relationship with materials.

Other WORKS AT AUCTION
Lee Ufan FROM LINE NO. 780210 signed and dated 78; signed and titled on the reverse oil and mineral pigment on canvas 91 by 116 cm. 35 7/8 by 45 3/4 in. Private Collection, Japan (acquired directly from the artist circa 1979) Private Collection, Japan (acquired from the above circa 1985) Acquired from the above by the present owner Catalogue Note One of the world''''''''s foremost Korean artists and minimalists, Lee Ufan has enraptured the global public with his poetic artistic language. The present work is an exceptional example from one of his best-known series: From Line, produced between 1973 and 1984, which documents his important experimentation on the ephemerality of mineral pigment and laying the foundation for his ground-breaking minimal work for the next four decades to come. In the present work, deep powdery blue emanates from the raw canvas in a cascade of waning pigment. Each mesmerising line contains within it the traces of the artist''''''''s physical movement at the moment of creation and acts as a visual record of the gradual passing of time as the work was produced. Synchronising each brushstroke with the careful rhythm of his breathing, Lee Ufan formed the From Line works as a physical exercise in meditation, each drawn out line dissipating into nothingness as the artist expels the last of his breath before the process begins again. Extending the ideals of the Mono Ha - or 'things school'''''''' sculpture movement - which Lee pioneered in the late 1960s, From Line No. 780210 focusses on the original beauty of materials, reducing each component to its most natural form to affect a compelling organic engagement with the viewer. In creating these works, Lee mixes ground minerals with nikawa animal-skin glue before applying it to unprimed canvas with a round headed brush. Lee gives equal importance to the painted and unpainted areas, reinforcing his focus on materiality as well as alluding to the significance of 'nothingness'''''''' in Buddhist philosophy. From Line No. 780210 chimes with aspects of traditional Eastern aesthetics, notably the sentiments of 'thinking with the brush'''''''' and the Zen Buddhist teachings of Kitarō Nishida. But as a Korean émigré who arrived in Japan at a time of particular tension and unrest between and within both countries, Lee opted for a harmonic outlook; finding solace in the philosophies of both Eastern and Western teachings. In spite of mounting cultural incompatibility, Lee pioneered a new artistic language through his philosophical approach which spearheaded the Dansaekhwa monochrome painting movement, forming 'pure experience'''''''' and showing 'the world as it is''''''''.

Lee Ufan WITH WINDS B. 1936 signed in English and dated 88; signed and titled in English and dated 1988 on the reverse acrylic and mineral pigment on canvas 218 by 291 cm; 85⅞ by 114½ in. Acquired directly from the artist in 1988 through a special commission Exhibited Japan, Kyoto, The Kahitsukan, Kyoto Museum of Contemporary Art, The Contemporary Art 1988, November 1988 The Emancipation of Wind With Winds (Lot 607) is an exhilarating masterpiece specially commissioned during the zenith of Lee Ufan''''''''s enlivening Winds era in the 1980s. Following a four-year political exile from his country during which he was placed under close surveillance by the Korean Central Intelligence Agency in the late 1970s, Lee moved to Kamakura, Japan and developed a new painting approach that prominently disrupted the strict regimentation of his earlier From Line and From Point series. Abandoning his rigorously clinical serialisations, Lee''''''''s brushstrokes became free flowing and multi-directional, exhibiting a burgeoning dynamism and dexterous calligraphic touch. Lee titled these new series From Winds (1982-1986) and With Winds (1987-1991), with 'wind'''''''' referring to an enlightened acceptance and heightened receptivity of the other. The artist once said: "when I passively accept external winds, an even greater world is opened".1 Specially commissioned by a distinguished private collection, the painting is the largest from the artist''''''''s celebrated Winds series ever to appear at auction. The work exudes a stirring, euphoric vitality superlative of works from this period—the only period in Lee''''''''s career in which each painting is uniquely, reverberatingly distinguishable. Lee wrote in 1989, one year after creating the current lot: "How open the world, how suggestive […]! I want to enlarge and deepen the exchange with the exciting and stimulating outside world instead of soliloquizing and showing obedience to the dictatorship of expression".2 Such a philosophical and aesthetic emancipation paved the way for Lee''''''''s subsequent Correspondence series, whose return to austere brushwork displayed ever-heightening internal and external resonance. Lee''''''''s epochal Winds decade marked an era in which the distinguished artist-cum-philosopher gained indisputable international prominence. Numerous important museum exhibitions featured Lee''''''''s works, including "Japon des avant-gardes 1910-1970" at the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris in 1986, which coincided with a display of Lee''''''''s watercolors and drawings in the museum''''''''s permanent collection galleries. In 1988, Lee''''''''s works featured in "Monoha: La scuola delle cose" at the Museo Laboratorio di Arte Contemporanea in Rome, whose catalogue published the first Italian translation of Lee''''''''s seminal essay "In Search of Encounter". In the same year Lee held acclaimed solo exhibitions across Japan and Europe; most notably, the catalogue for "Ex Oriente" at Milan''''''''s Padiglione d''''''''Arte Contemporanea included a laudatory essay by eminent French critic Pierre Restany. Also in 1988, Lee, whose own scholarly writings are grounded in transnational philosophical inquiries including that of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Michel Foucault, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Martin Heidegger, etc., published an essay collection entitled "Toki no furue" ("The Trembling of Time").

Bochum, Germany, 1989, p. 4 Artist Biography Lee Ufan (b. 1936, South Korea) studied Calligraphy, Poetry and Painting at the College of Kyongnam and the University of Seoul. Moving to Japan in 1956, the artist and academic earned a degree in Philosophy in 1961 and swiftly came to prominence in the late 1960s as a founder and leading theorist and artist of the Japanese avant-garde Mono-ha ("School of Things") group. Lee is also an influential figure of the Dansaekhwa ("Monochrome") movement in Korea. The artist has been the subject of major shows at the Palace of Versailles (2014); Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum (2011); Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium (2009); the Yokohama Museum of Art (2005); the Musée d''''''''Art Moderne de Saint-Etienne Métropole (2005); the Samsung Museum of Modern Art, Seoul (2003); Kunstmuseum Bonn (2001); the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris (1997); and the National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul (1994), amongst others. He was awarded the Praemium Imperiale for painting in 2001 and the UNESCO Prize in 2000, and his works are held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Guggenheim Museum; the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris and Tate Modern, London, amongst others.


text: Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - February 19, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa The C edar Rapids Cia/ette: Tues., Feb. 19. 1971 Survey: I in Schwieger To Seek Third Iowans Will Get Cancer DhfrkfCongreisSeaf By Harrison Weber low* Dally Press Asm. DES MOINES Barring any miracle medical breakthrough, one out of every 4.4 Iowans will have cancer during their lifetime. That appears to be the key finding of the Third National Cancer Survey in which Iou a was a major participant. Preliminary results of the survey are reported in the Iowa State Medical Society Journal in an article written by Dr. John W. Berg. Director of the Cancer Epidemiology Research Center at the University of Iowa at Iowa City. Change While the final data will not b e available for several months, Dr. Berg said enough is now' on hand to see howlings have changed in Iowa since 1950 when the last sur vey was done. The preliminary data is based on findings of a 1969-70 survey and do not include 1971 cases. Excluding skin and in situ cervical cancers, 18.269 cancers were registered by the survey in 1969-70. These represent one cancer for every 155 Iowa residents during the two years or an average annual crude incidence rate of 323.5 per 100,000 population. "Summing this rate over a life expectancy of 70 years would mean one cancer for every 4.4 individuals. The figure may be closer to one in five Iowans as a cancer victim because some will have more than a single cancer during their lifetime," Dr. Berg stated. Bowel cancer was the most common major cancer among Iowans although men devel oped more lung cancer and prostatic cancer while women devein p e ri more breast cancer. Men developed more cancers than did women. Among major types of cancer found in both sexes, only bowpl cancer and gall bladder cancer were more common in women. However, men would have had much less cancer than women did they not smoke; the cigarette linked cancers of the lungs, larynx, mouth, pharynx, esophagus, pancreas, kidney and bladder made up 37 percent of all cancers in men. "If all Iowa men had the cancer rates of non-smokers. we estimate that they would have been spared more than 2.700 of these cancers, or 29 percent of the total," Dr. Berg added. Drop for Women In comparing results of the survey with those obtained rn 1950, Dr. Berg noted that cancer in women has dropped ll percent, but cancer in men has risen 12 percent. "The increases for men are primarily in the cigarette associated cancers: lung cancer rates have tripled, laryngeal cancer rates have risen even more, and there have been important increases in pancreatic, kidney and bladder cancer. Colonic cancer, prostatic cancer, lymphomas and leukemias also have increased in men while lung cancer, thyroid cancer and lymphomas represented the important increases for women," he said "The most important decreases in cancer incidences," he continued, "are those of the stomach cancer and invasive cervical cancer. The change in stomach cancer is part of an unexplained con tinulng national trend. For most cancer sites Iowa reported lower rates than the average of all areas in the survey. Only cancers of the small intestine and leukemias were more common in Iowa than in any other area. The leukemia problem is a longstanding one affecting a north-central U. S belt from Michigan through Kansas and Nebraska and deserve much more study, Dr. Berg related. "Other research opportunities are expected to become visible when the full survey data are on hand and when urban-rural comparisons are made. While we look for spe cia! situations that can teach us about causes or control, the general priorities already are clear. Greatest Problem "The single greatest problem is prevention of the cigarette cancers. The second problem is creation of practical detection programs for the major cancers such as breast cancer, cervical cancer and bowel cancer that have been shown to be almost completely controllable in participants in continuing detection schemes. "Meanwhile," he said. "research must continue to tip timize the treatment for pa ttents with established disease vandidato and to investigate the epidemiology of causes and high risk situations." In support of these needs a C a ii e e r Epidemiology Research Center has been established at the University of Iowa in the department of preventive medicine Its charges are to Keep the Iowa cancer problems under observation. to learn as mile has I it official at the farm, possible about who gets what kinds of cancer, and to assist, particularly in planning and information management, in any and all efforts undertaken iii (he state for cancer control HAMPTON IAP) State Sen.!

In fact Prof. J. Allen Hynek points out "that recent polls show more Americans believe in flying saucers than in the President of the United States." Hynek, chairman of the department of astronomy, Northwestern university, and director of the center for UFO studies, was a guest lecturer Monday of the physics department at the University of Iowa. The author of many technical articles and books, Hynek is also a noted researcher in various areas of astronomy. "I risk my reputation as a scientist by investigating UFO's because I am convinced that there ire a number of valid observations on phenomenon which science cannot yet explain." he explains. A man full of questions, not answers. Hynek finds it difficult to know where to begin the study of UFO's. "It is kind of like a man who has lost his glasses, yet needs his glasses to find his glasses." he says. He does feel that it will take interdisciplinary research in many academic areas to resolve the issue. Such research begins with the phenomenon observed. Sightings have taken place all over the world and there are a number of common elements in the reports Most involve nocturnal lights though there also are sightings of daylight discs and radar encounters A very limited number of cases report close encounters which affect people or physical things in the environment Such close encounters are treated with greatest amount of skepticism, starting with observers, themselves, Many turn out to be false and Hynek does not think there is one confirmed case of communication with living things from a UFO. But Hynek can document a number of cases where several credible witnesses have had experiences which cannot be explained or ignored. These people include astronauts, aviators, law on-f o r c e rn e n t officials and science investigators. As Hynek puts it, "These people are not crackpots or ding dongs—they would be valid witnesses in court. So, what right do we have not to believe them?" Prejudice "Prejudice is a problem because UFO is a dirty three letter word in tho minds of some people." states Hvnek ''In fact," he continues, "many people fear ridicule and are afraid to report sightings while others who have reported them say they would not do it again because of the misunderstanding they experience " Hynek thinks this is most unfortunate as it hampers future investigation. Yet reports continue to come in at the rate of two or three per day. To handle this flow. Hynek recently established the Center for UFO Studies in Evanston. III. He encourages people to tell local police about UFO sightings since the police will then make a report to the UFO ('enter. informed the company of the $2.903 25; state . s2406Tfl second cion pooob* 'desire to cancel the order of each $5 cos Cedor Rapid!, Iowa According to the petition, the A total amount of $23,980.17 company had installed part of was received for traffic fines the equipment when on July 9. and disbursed as follows: Temporary school fund, tinue with the agreement and $11,061 97; county general fund. of Iowa ($3 out costs goes to the The trial began last Monday state), $2,990, and 90 percent of a pB/n man1 and and except for the Feb 12 hob- fines paid under local city ordi- WQfPiLl wTvindov ? day, extended through Friday nances went to the cities in the afternoon when it went to the county — Hazleton, $3,483; Injury The verdict was returned dependence, $2,412; Jesup. $873; at 7 45 p m Friday and filed Quasqueton, with the clerk of district court $58 50; Thursday morning year Afternoon eel tioni and Sunday ssues ll SO a month til a year Off * would not have been projected sino "ben American planes and out behind the car They just 8uns destroyed it. sifted up through the floor " , Th- car's ignition was still £hr (friar Samba OSawttf l973- thp *ch"°l 10 con . . . * * tinnn it/im t hr* aftrnomnnl nnr turned en and the gas tank was Estobi.*t» empty when it was discovered . b" two men Sunday.

Author Thomas Kennedy speaks to students at FDUAbove: Students fill Lenfell Hall as author Thomas Kennedy read from his novel In the Company of Angels, a powerful story of two deeply damaged souls trying to find their way from darkness toward light as they start their own relationship.
Story and photos by Dan Landau
Award-winning author, Thomas E. Kennedy, visited FDU on November 17, 2011 to present to students in two different events. During the day, he appeared before a standing-room only crowd in Lenfell Hall where he read from his critically-acclaimed novel In the Company of Angels. He also discussed the poets whose voices inhabit his novel.
In the evening, Kennedy participated in a coffee reading put on by the Musician's Guild, a student group. The coffeehouse was held in the Bottle Hill Room and also featured student writing and poetry.
Winner of the Eric Hoffer Award in 2007, Kennedys novel, In the Company of Angels, is a powerful story of two damaged souls struggling from darkness to light. Imprisoned for teaching political poetry to his students, Bernardo Greene has been tortured for months in Pinochets Chile when he is visited by two angels who promise that he will survive to experience beauty and love once again. Months later, in Copenhagen, where he has come for treatment, the Chilean exile befriends Michela Ibsen, also a survivor of abuse. In the long nights of summer, the two of them struggle to heal, to forgive those who have left them damaged, and to trust themselves to love.
In the Company of Angels is the primary text for the College at Florhams book programFDU: Reading the World. As such, all students enrolled in the Freshman Writing Workshop course will read the novel.

Ted V. Mikels (born Theodore Mikacevich on 29 April 1929) is a American filmmaker of independent cult films. Mikels was also known for his home life, as he once lived with a harem in a Glendale, California castle that contained secret passageways.
During his grade school years, he was an amateur photographer who developed his own film in his bathtub. While in eighth grade, he was awarded his first acting role in a film that was to star William Powell, but World War II forced the cancellation of the production. By the age of fifteen, he was a regular stage performer, and developed an interest in filmmaking when he attempted to film his performances. "I figured out that you have to move the camera around to get different angles, and then you have to edit the film when you're done."
Since 1993, Mikels has run TVM Studios, a film and video production studio based in Las Vegas, Nevada. On August 28, 2005, he was presented with a Certificate of Recognition by Nevada Lieutenant Governor Lorraine T. Hunt on the day of screening of his then-latest film, Heart of a Boy, which was the only G-rated film of his career. The certificate was awarded to Mikels for his contributions to the

Dinosaur remains have been found in Saudi Arabia for the first time.
The 72-million-year-old fossils were unearthed in the north-west of the region along the Red Sea coast.
Teeth from a 20-foot-long predator, thought to be a relative of the Tyrannosaurus Rex were discovered, as well as tail bones from a giant herbivore "titanosaur".
When the dinosaurs were alive, the Arabian landmass was largely under water and formed the northern coastal edge of the African continent.
Dr Benjamin Kear, from Uppsala University in Sweden, who led a team of scientists studying the remains, said: "Dinosaur fossils are exceptionally rare in the Arabian Peninsula, with only a handful of highly fragmented bones documented this far.
"This discovery is important not only because of where the remains were found, but also because of the fact that we can actually identify them.
"Indeed, these are the first taxonomically recognisable dinosaurs reported from the Arabian Peninsula."
The "titanosaur" identified by the researchers was a lumbering giant with a long neck and tail that stood on four legs.
In contrast, the meat-eating abelisaurid whose teeth were recovered was a fast-moving, bipedal theropod.
Similar dinosaurs have been found in North Africa, Madagascar and South America.
Another member of the team, Dr Tom Rich from Museum Victoria in Australia, said: "Dinosaur remains from the Arabian Peninsula and the area east of the Mediterranean Sea are exceedingly rare because sedimentary rocks deposited in streams and rivers during the Age of Dinosaurs are rare, particularly in Saudi Arabia itself."
The finds are described in the online journal Public Library of Science ONE.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Sa'ar Netanel. Moderator is Stevan van Lummel (PIP Den Haag).
Shushan, the only gay bar in Jerusalem, closed its doors in 2007. City of Borders follows five patrons of the bar who, despite different nationalities and differing religious convictions, form a close-knit group and fight together to gain acceptance. Sa'ar Netanel, the owner of Shushan, was the first openly gay man to hold a seat in the Jerusalem city council. In the course of his work, he encountered fierce opposition from the religious community and received many death threats.

Oh my! loved Loved LOVED this chapter! I gotta say I liked the gimmnel parts to it, it was cute! But I don't want the killings and brutal stuff to the women to be grimmjow, I don't think it is, but there is a possibility and I don't want it. I like him as a one woman bad boy. And I like how you had some cute ichihime scenes, especially when she was scolding him about being rude and stuff! :] and what's orihime's reason as why she just has to do it?
PLEASE DON'T TAKE SO LONG TO UPDATE THIS FIC! ITS SSSOOO GOOD! IT HAS AMAZING POTENTIAL AND I WANT TO READ MORE! This DESERVES more than just two chapters. :D something to think about ;]

Ooo! Who's the monster in the beginning of the story? I liked how you coupled up yammi and loli. Loli always got on my nerves, at least now she's heading to jail. Is ichigo going to be the only one who see's spirits in this fic? And how come rukia knows about his gift and not anyone else? Orihime sounded so cute and innocent! How could he yell at he like that though! At least she told him the truth!
I enjoyed this chapter! :D and I love the idea of this fic so much! It has so much potential its so exciting! I hope you still continue with it! :D
