Swami Kriyananda's voice
After hearing several of Swami Kriyananda's discourses, I notice that every time I hear one of his discourses, at certain points when he is talking, his voice will start to rise and break, and it almost sounds like he is on the verge of crying. Is this from being overcome by emotion or an actual voice or throat condition?
Dear James,
We are glad to hear that you have been able to tune in to Swami Kriyananda's recent talks.
And we very much appreciate your concern for his health. No, he does not have a throat or voice condition which makes him sound this way at times during his discourses.
Often when he is speaking these days, particularly of his Guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, he becomes tearful with the overwhelming divine love he is feeling from him - this is what you are hearing in his voice.

WALLOPS ISLAND, Va. (WUSA/AP) -- A private company contracted by NASA to bring cargo to the International Space Station scrubbed a Wednesday test launch of an unmanned rocket, saying cables linked to the rocket's second stage apparently detached too early in blustery winds.
The Antares rocket had been scheduled to blast off Wednesday afternoon from Wallops Island on Virginia's Eastern Shore when the countdown clock was halted 12 minutes before a 5 p.m. launch window was to have opened. Barry Benesky, a spokesman for Dulles-based Orbital Sciences Corp., said it wasn't immediately clear when officials would attempt another launch.
If successful, the test flight will launch Virginia Eastern Shore into the forefront of the growing commercial space industry.
"This is a big event for the eastern shore, for Wallops, for everybody in the surrounding area, and also for the country," said Frank Culbertson, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Orbital's Advanced Programs Group. "It's going to be the biggest and loudest and brightest thing that's ever launched from Wallops, I believe. It will be visible up and down the coast"
Orbital is one of two companies chosen to deliver supplies to the International Space Station. If all goes as planned, the unmanned rocket's practice payload will be vaulted into orbit after about 10 minutes, and then it will burn up in the atmosphere on its return to Earth several months later.
With the test flight, Wallops Flight Facility will make its public transition from a little-known launch pad for small research rockets to a major player in the U.S. space program.
If successful, Orbital will dock a cargo ship with the space station this summer.

Gay, Law Schools, Minority Issues
Yesterday, in addition to being Inauguration Day, was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We suggested that people use the holiday to engage in public service.
Unfortunately, not everyone got the memo. At one leading law school, someone used the three-day weekend to vandalize the office of an LGBT student group.
We'll show you a photo of the hateful graffiti. Warning: it's pretty extreme and explicit….
The vandalism took place in the office of the Lambda Law Students Association at Boston College Law School. Here is a photo of the graffiti (click to enlarge, if you actually want a closer look at the awfulness):
Methinks the vandal doth protest too much. Often the people most obsessed with homosexuality have, well, some issues of their own to work through. (Trust me, I've been there.)
In terms of the "substance" of this message, I didn't know the meaning of several of these terms (e.g., this one and this one). And I wasn't quite sure what MILFs have to do with anything; does the vandal mistakenly think that "MILF" stands for "Man I'd Like to F**k" (assuming he's male)?
As for style, I agreed with my colleague Staci Zaretsky: "Such superb penmanship for such filth!"
My other colleague, Elie Mystal, diagnosed this episode as part of a larger problem. Alluding to BC Law's defense of an anti-gay-marriage professor back in 2009, Elie argued that "creating an environment of tolerance starts at the top and includes every hiring and admissions decision you make."
I don't know if I'd go as far as Elie. This graffiti is reprehensible, but I don't think it means that BC Law is any worse than any other similarly situated institution on issues of diversity and tolerance. You can find a bad apple in pretty much every bunch.
This is not even the first case of anti-gay graffiti that we've heard about at a top law school. Back in 2011, for example, NYU Law School reported anti-LGBT graffiti in one of its buildings. And NYU Law — which is located in the West Village, has many gay students, and boasts several gay faculty members — is a pretty LGBT-friendly place.
UPDATE (4:40 PM): It's not even clear that the perpetrator was a law student. A Lambda Law member shared this observation with us:
BC Law shares its campus with a number of freshman dorms. This isn't the first time in the history of BCLS that freshmen have vandalized the law school. This seems to indicate a systemic issue that the undergraduate body has with racism and homophobia, as opposed to a reflection on the law school's students or administration. I have never encountered anything but openness and acceptance at BCLS and refuse to believe that this recent incident was committed by a member of our community.
We reached out to Dean Vincent D. Rougeau for comment. Here's what he wrote to us:
The cowardly act of vandalism that was discovered this morning is reprehensible and runs counter to everything we stand for as a law school. We are working closely with the Boston College and Newton Police in the hope of resolving the matter, which occurred over the weekend in an unlocked room in an unlocked building. I have attached a copy of letter that I have distributed to all members of the BC community.
We've reprinted Dean Rougeau's letter to the BC community on the next page.
We reached out to Lambda Law for comment as well. Jason Triplett, co-chair of the group, provided us with this statement:
The BC Law community has been overwhelmingly supportive in the wake of this act. An act like this is shocking because EVERYONE at BC law, from fellow students to professors and the administration, has been so inclusive and supportive of our organization and the individuals in our group. Our group is taking this and turning it into a positive thing. We don't want the person who did this to get attention for his or her negative act. We have asked the administration to not remove the hateful graffiti yet; instead, we are holding a meeting to solicit ideas about how we can turn this into a positive thing for BC Law and the LGBT members of Lambda Law.
Just as an example, one of the ideas we have already been given by one of our members is to use the words as a backdrop for a dedication to the gay rights movement… posting articles, pictures, and quotes on top of them that show our fight for equal rights from Stonewall to the President's historic inclusion of gay rights in his inauguration speech yesterday… to show where we have come from and yet how far we still have to go.
This strikes me as a positive and empowered response. And it's great to hear that the BC Law community has shown strong support for Lambda Law in response to this bigotry.
Our nation has made great strides in terms of LGBT rights over the past few years, but as incidents like this one show, much work remains to be done. Maine, the state that BC Law Professor Scott Fitzgibbon tried to swing against gay marriage, now has marriage equality. But as President Obama observed yesterday, "our journey is not complete."

The clock is winding down on Gov. George Pataki three-terms and 12 years as governor. Here is a story, a Q and A and a chart of Pataki's 12 years by the numbers from Sunday's Times Union
What will you miss about Gov. Pataki?
I won't miss a thing! After 12 years of incompetent and inexperienced leadership, of sending contract dollars out to the Governor's friends and business associates while cutting back on state jobs and services, of having Mr. Pataki's face on TV, posters and brochures bragging about "his" programs, there's nothing to miss. True, some good programs were created like the child health program, and that rightly got news coverage, but how much did we loose at the same time that never made the press? How much money and jobs were sent out of New York? I can't help but feel that the Pataki Administration was one major downhill slide for New York. As a state worker I saw some of it first-hand. Having a new Governor will be a breath of fresh air. Governor-elect Spitzer has already shown that he has a better understanding of how the state needs to work than the Pataki Administration did in 12 years.
Being a very longtime resident of Albany does not give me any right to offer expert opinion here, but I do have an opinion. The Governor is pretty popular, and we do have a big run for President coming up in 2008.I think that if you put this mix together, you might come up with the frontrunner in the election. Read this, and give an opinion: Pataki, Hillary Clinton, Rudy Guliani. Not sure right now about the last name spelling of Rudy, but you get the idea. Can any of us think of a more Popular set of Names? All that, and good old "Wild Bill" running around the White House wondering why Hillary apponited an all male staff. Cooks, House Keepers, ETC. You get the idea. I would give anything to be a little bird on the wall of the White House if that ever happened. OH HILLARY Shut Up Willy You are just the "First Hubby" now.
Unfortunately as a registered voter it made me sick from 1995 to 2007 to watch a working class person live in poverty. Im glad to see him go, he cant go quick enough
and when he came into office and and reinstated the death penalty, that was proof he isnt for people he is for politics.I seen many people loose jobs, state workers with no raises, private industry can fire you for no reason. The only laws he put in place that have been of any substance are the laws that violate and hurt children and women other then that he needs to go.
Not A thing. At least one of the triunverate has finally gone. Now to get rid of the other two.
After having to move out of the state like so many others,I have to say I am so happy that Pataki and company are through in New York. For 12 years these people destroyed what was once the greatest state in our country. I am interested to hear other peoples experience with this adminsitration. My Mother and Father were civil servants, and they loved serving their fellow New Yorker. My parents killed themselves for thirty years making modest wages while the children of the connected were handed high paying state jobs with little or no experience. I myself on numerous occasions tried to follow my parents footsteps and work for our great state. However, due to the so called hiring freeze at the time I graduated college and had to leave NY due to a lack of oppurtunities. At this same time though, I remember the NY Times doing some very interesting articles about the increase in political appointees under Pataki. Friends of mine who worked for the state were disgusted by the way these people would do little or no work, drink like animals in the Albanys bar and then brag about their political connections. Maybe these are the people to lay blame for what happened to NY. I hope that Governor Elect Elliot Spitzer really does fix Albany. Granted, political patronage and corruption has plagued us for years, but under Pataki it was the worst. Why should we spend are hard earned money to provide oppurtunities to hacks? Why is it that the children of the politcally connected have benefitted while the rest of us felt the pain of their incompetance? Maybe a new day will come when we get a Government made up of dedicated people (regardless of political affiliation or connection) who will work to reclaim the the greatness that was once NY. Let me ask the people of Albany and our state this. Have you had enough of the pyscophants, corruption and pay to play politics. We can change this now, and it can be done by encouraging all of your neighbors to get active and pay attention to politics. I like Mr. Spitzer but due to the status quo of Albany, I think its best to let him know what we want. I propose we all get educated on the issues and start a grassroots movement throughout NY to get our leaders to take into account our needs. Now is the time to work for affordable housing, jobs for New Yorkers, healthcare for all, and most importantly an equal voice on State Street. We are all New Yorkers, not just those who have the money and power.
Good Luck and good riddons to Pataki! Hope you retire and cause no further grief to other Americans. Glad to see you go! Your slogan should have been I hate NY, as you demonstrated, in the way you led this state. GOODBYE!
I see the same ole' same ole' from EVERY adminisration.
A far as I'm concerned, it's the 12 year itch… you'll all be saying the same things about Spitzer several years from now, no doubt.
But how will the illegals ever get their licenses and benefits? I was dying to fund them all.

Unlock Ruppert Playground and give it back to New York City!
For more than 25 years, Ruppert Playground has served a vital role for residents of Community Board 8, which is New York City's most densely populated community and which ranks dead last in publicly accessible recreational space.
The real estate firm Related Companies, which acquired the playground from the city in 1983 as part of an urban renewal plan, has padlocked the entrance to Ruppert Playground and hired private security guards to patrol the area. Related wants tax breaks to continue to keep the park open. If the city fails to meet its demands, neighborhood children will pay the price.
Join us in petitioning the CEO and President of Related Companies to demand that the playground be unlocked immediately and that ownership be restored to the public. Tell Related: Don't punish the children for the sake of your bottom line!
Photo by Nathanael Boehm (cc).
By holding the playground hostage as a negotiation tactic, you are severely punishing the neighborhood children, who have nowhere else to play. Outdoor play is absolutely vital to a child's physical health, cognitive development, and emotional well-being.
The original Ruppert Urban Renewal Plan was seriously flawed as it did not allocate enough park space to accommodate the neighborhood's growing population. The community has been speaking out for years against this injustice.
Don't punish the children for the sake of your bottom line. Please unlock the playground immediately and work with us to transfer the property back to the city so that our families have an outdoor space to gather and play.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - There are hundreds of animals in need of a new home all across Arkansas.
Animal shelters depend mostly on donations from the public to care for the dogs and cats that come through--and it can be a constant struggle.
That's why Joey the Garden Cat is helping out. When you buy Joey products from Wild Wear, a portion of the proceeds goes to the Humane Society of Pulaski County and Little Rock Animal Village.
THV's Ashley Blackstone stopped by theLittle Rock Animal Village yesterday to present a check of $500. Manager Tracy Roark says the money will be a tremendous help.
"We will give shots to about two-hundred animals with that money," says Roark. "That will take care of the vetting and the ones coming in."
We also stopped by thePulaski County Humane Society,a no-kill shelter, with a donation. They've been busy rescuing animals since 1955. Director Kay Simpson says they are in great need of donations right now as they're busy caring for more than 150 dogs.
"Yes, kittens are cute and puppies are cut but everyone please support spay neuters because there's thousand of animals every day that are dying basically because there is no place to go," says Simpson.
There is good news, however. Adoptions are the highest this month at Little Rock Animal Village than any other August before. Staff says they're consantly looking for ways to accommodate more animals and build public awareness about the need for adoptions.
And you can support these two shelters buy purchasing any of Joey's gear,including coffee cups, T-shirts and mouse pads. Visit the Wild Wear store (7900 Doyle Springs Road) in Little Rock or check out their website.
Joey thanks you for your support!

Laying on a yoga mat in a dimly lit room, snuggled up with a pillow and blanket, I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a gong bath produced by the Saratoga based group, Universal Sounds. An ethereal hum filled the room as this meditation began with a beautiful reading from Paul Ferrini's Christ Mind book series, about the stillness and insights that come from being in the present moment. Then, for the next hour, the floor and walls vibrated as the room was transformed into a soundscape, rich with texture from the vibrations of Planetary Gongs, Tibetan Gongs, Tibetan Singing Bowls, and Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls.
Excerpt from Universal Sounds' Facebook Page
"Universal Sounds is a group of friends that have come together with the common intention of sharing and promoting love, peace, balance, and stillness through the use of Sound Healing instruments… The use of sound to promote psycho-acoustic states of altered consciousness has been found historically all the way back to ancient Egyptian and Peruvian times…Our intention is to bring balance to your body and mind, promoting harmony and peace, opening you to the quietness and stillness of the mind that is always present, but clouded by our distracting thoughts…With the combined and intuitive playing of [Sound Healing instruments], a cascade of sound, tones, and vibration is created that washes over and through the bodies of the recipients. The rich depth of the multiple harmonic frequencies and tones has a wide range of effects on the receiver; ranging from a loosening of the ego-clinging mind, dissipation of the thought process, reduction of lower vibrations such as anxiety, worry, doubt, and fear, and in many cases a reduction in physical body complaints…Immersing in this bath of sound and vibration also deeply enhances the power of the present moment, aiding in the release of physical and mental dis-ease. On a subtle and yet deeper level, recipients are able to explore awareness and consciousness itself. They are able to experience freedom from the incessant mind stream of thoughts, safely 'looking' at old and outdated belief systems that do not support inner and outer harmony."
This is indeed was what I experienced as I bathed. It was difficult to be aware of anything other than the strange and beautiful sounds that filled my ears. The parts of my body that made contact with the floor buzzed. Unlike with other forms of meditation where random and mundane thoughts occasionally flow through the mind, during the gong bath the only thoughts that came to me were of a spiritual nature. By the time the session ended, I was so relaxed and calm that I didn't want to move, speak, or even think of anything other than the peace I was experiencing. Everyone in the room appeared to be feeling the same way and had a pleasant smile on their face.
Afterward, I spoke with a man named Mike who's been attending for about a year. "I'm a drummer, so the percussion aspect of it, the tones and the vibrations, just speak to the spirit." Mike is an outdoorsman who experiences the same kind of peace at a gong bath that he does on the mountaintop. "I try to take nature with me wherever I go." Eventually he'd like to play gongs and singing bowls himself, to experience more of that inner peace.
To learn more, I sat down with Dan and Nacole Smith, who founded Universal Sounds and play the instruments. Click here to read our conversation.
Now it's your turn!

Baseball U was established in the winter of 2006. John Wells is the National Director of Baseball U that is based in Central New Jersey located on the Jersey Shore.
The program started with one team has now expanded to organizations in four states. Programs can now be found in Fairfield, CT, Scranton, PA, Syracuse, NY and where it all began at the Jersey Shore in New Jersey.
In the past 8 years the organization has helped over 240 players move on to college and it has also had 57 Alumni selected in the Major League Draft including 4 first round selections.
The program has a strong relationship with the colleges nationwide. While Baseball U has players playing at every level the relationship between the organization and the SEC and ACC conference is very strong with 29 players moving on to play in both of those conferences the past 3 years. If you are considered an "elite" player this would be a good start to look into your college future.
No other program north of Virginia has placed more players into Division 1 schools or had more players selected in the Major League Draft.
At Baseball U a player is developed from the ground up and we guarantee he will leave a more educated player in the game of baseball. We will never make a promise that we can get your son into a certain school. If we did that we would be lying to the player and family. Only the player himself can do this between his grades and his performance on the field. We only promise to develop and educate the player and the rest is up to them. We will expose them to the schools but their performance on the field is what will ultimately earn them their place in college.
The program has an excellent schedule for those players that are in the recruiting stages of the process.
We feel if we start at younger ages and concentrate on proper mechanics it will be easier for them to develop as they mature and become stronger.
In the fall of 2014 Baseball U will be opening their own U Athletic Performance Center that will be a state of the art training facility for players from the youngest ages to the player that is a Major League player.

Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We get asked a lot of questions, we've taken the one's we get the most frequently and compiled them here for your convenience. If you have questions that are highly technical or support related please go to support.gnip.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
- How do you pronounce Gnip?
Gnip is pronounced (guh'nip)
- How did you choose to name the company Gnip?
When Gnip was founded we sought to provide our customers with the option to receive data in either the push model or the pull model, regardless of the native delivery from the data publisher's server. In other words we wanted to reverse the "ping" process for our customers. Hence, we reversed the word "ping" to get the name Gnip.
- Why doesn't Gnip offer data from 'X' source?
Gnip's goal is to be the record for all public conversations online. We'd like to work with all of the large social media publishers to help them distribute their data.
- What data sources does Gnip offer?
Gnip has two types of data sources it offers -- complete access sources and managed public api sources. The managed public api sources are part of our Data Collector product. Complete access sources are sources where we receive the full firehose from the source and offer complete data. Complete access sources include Twitter, Tumblr, Foursquare, WordPress, IntenseDebate, and Disqus.
- What makes Gnip unique?
Gnip was the first authorized reseller of Twitter data and the first company to offer access to the complete archive of publicly available Tweets. Since that initial partnership with Twitter we've also established partnerships to provide access to data from Tumblr, Foursquare, Wordpress, Disqus, and IntenseDebate. Our aim is to deliver complete data, with the reliability and sustainability you require. We focus on providing social data that is sustainable, reliable, and complete. We create products that make collecting social data easier and more valuable for our customers so they can focus on doing the analysis. Additionally, Gnip has valuable additions to the data such as Klout data and Profile Geo data that you can't get anywhere else.
- Am I able to get historical Twitter data in CSV format?
Currently, we only support JSON format for historical Twitter data requests. Since the payload differs so much from Tweet to Tweet (the differences between a Tweet and Retweet, for example, or for instances where there is geographic metadata associated with the Tweet), JSON really is the most appropriate encoding for this data.
- How much does one-time access to Historical PowerTrack for Twitter cost?
The price for your historical Twitter data request depends on two factors, time (the number of consecutive days you are filtering over) and volume (number of Tweets returned by your filters).
- Can I get a free trial for one-time access to Historical PowerTrack for Twitter?
Due to the fact that we are able to pre-determine the volume and price associated with Historical PowerTrack for Twitter requests before you commit to acquire the data, we are currently unable to offer free trials for one-time access.
- I need a deleted Tweet and/or Direct Message.
As a Twitter Certified Data Reseller, we are able to offer filtered access to publicly available Twitter data. Therefore, we do not currently offer access to any data that is not publicly available, including deleted Tweets and Direct Messages.
- If I give you a username, can you give me their followers?
For a complete breakdown of the metadata included in our payload, please review the Historical PowerTrack for Twitter sample payloads. Our PowerTrack operators will also give you an idea of the type of filters you can apply to extract data from the archive. In short, user mentions, retweets of a given user and replies are accessible through the archive, as well as follower and following counts, but you would not be able to identify the Twitter handles that a given user is following or being followed by via Historical PowerTrack for Twitter. To identify the Twitter handles of followers / following, you would want to take a look at the public Twitter APIs.

So much valuable educational material is being posted online nowadays. Here are a few newish items that have caught my attention:
Michael Sporn shares a genius walk cycle from Moonbird animated by Bobe Cannon and assisted by Ed Smith.
"Finding My Inner Pintoff" is a thought-provoking post by animator Will Finn (Iago in Aladdin, Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast) about how animating a scene without inbetweens, squash & stretch, anticipation and follow-through led him to a new understanding of what it means to communicate through animation.
Bill Tytla speaks about Forms vs. Forces: Part I & Part II
Hans Bacher's blog Animation Treasures is a constant stream of inspiration from this comparison of Bambi pencil layouts to the finished backgrounds to fascinating bits of personal history like the early development of Beauty and the Beast to artwork by the likes of Jiří Trnka, and my recent personal fave, this Song of the South background analysis.

Many moons ago I posted to a thread about low-impact camping/product development/etc. I mentioned my use of surplus equipment.Mention surplus equipment and you'll either conjure up images of a down-at-the-heels Boy Scout troop or of nutjob militia. An argument can be made, however, that re-using old gear that's made to last and last has a salutary effect beyond mere thrift.I'll admit to vanity and allow as how I simply like the classic looks of old Swiss leather-and-canvas packs, for example, as much as I like their sturdiness. My kid will be exploring the backcountry with packs I bought used.Surplus or used gear dilutes the impact of the item's manufacture among many users. An argument can be made that a backpack that has gone through at least three users--the soldier/s to whom it was issued, myself and, presumably, the person I give it to after I'm done with it--has no less than a third the impact on resources as each of us getting a new item for ourselves. Same goes for shelters, sleeping bags, metal canteens...darn near everything except undergarments (a guy has to have SOME standards!).Most of my kit is made from canvas, wool, leather or steel/brass. The metals are recyclable and the fabrics are renewable. I don't know where silnylon comes from so I don't know if it's renewable or not. It doesn't sound like it.It certainly violates the *letter* of lightweight backpacking, yet it could be said that surplus/used/renewables have a "spirit" that is in keeping with treading lightly in a certain sense.
Edited by kb9wfq on 12/06/2007 08:40:31 MST.
It would be nice if we all lived where we could access surplus. It is possible to mix and match items and still keep things light, along with cherry picking household things to fill in. Some of the budget gear lists do a nice job of this. My favorite all time surplus item is the wool gloves[liners], usually found for a little over a buck,they can be had in grey, navy, and the ever stylish olive drab.Allow me to take off on tangent .... a few years back I traveled all over the northwest competing in mountain bike races. Every weekend I was hundreds of miles from home so I could make a 20 mile lap on a course. "Geez, I race bikes that's a good thing" but if you included the amount of fossil fuel required to get me there and back it wasn't a very "responsible" picture. There is an similar ethos we could adopt with our equipment, balancing the energy/materials required to make it and transport it.By definition all of us here are pretty much gear doggies but I still think the most important things are not things, but our immersion into the wild. Over the next 20 years we will be forced to adopt a much greener path to the backcountry.
Edited by pyeyo on 01/01/2008 08:36:09 MST.
Very good point, but hard to manage. The silnylon (silicone impregnated nylon) is likely not recyclble in any current recycle stream since nylon itself is not recycled to any significant amount, and the silicone would mess up a commercial system. Perhaps a better use would be to reuse it for less critical applications (old tarp becomes several stuff sacks) or as patches for worn gear.

Beginning May 26, 2012, and extending through the summer, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) presents a series of tributes to the Bay Area's beloved Golden Gate Bridge. The museum joins civic, cultural, and education organizations from around the Bay that will host 75 different tributes as part of the Golden Gate Festival, a public celebration of the iconic structure's 75th anniversary. SFMOMA will offer everyone in the community opportunities to engage with the celebration, including a special bridge-building family program on May 27; an online gallery and blog series reflecting on the bridge; and bridge-inspired treats and gifts at the Blue Bottle Coffee Bar and the MuseumStore. At Fort Mason, the SFMOMA Artists Gallery will host an exhibition of artworks showcasing the Golden Gate Bridge beginning May 26.
Building Bridges
SFMOMA Galleries and Koret Visitor Education Center
Sunday, May 27
11 a.m.–3 p.m.
SFMOMA kicks off Memorial Day weekend with a program that will be focused on building bridges, as part of the Family Sunday series themed "What's the Big IDEA?" Ideas are one thing, what happens is another. It all starts with an IDEA! Family programs are designed for families with children ages 4 to 12, with free admission for children under 12. General admission is required for adult companions.
Picturing the Golden Gate: An Online Exhibition
The tribute continues on the SFMOMA blog Open Space, with five commissioned pieces from artists and writers reflecting on the bridge, commencing Memorial Day weekend and extending through July. The SFMOMA website will also host a special online exhibition highlighting works from the permanent collection featuring the Golden Gate Bridge. Artworks include Golden Gate Bridge (1934) by Peter Stackpole; Looking from Ferry Boat at Golden Gate with One Bridge Tower Completed, San Francisco (1934) by John Gutmann; The Golden Gate before the Bridge, San Francisco, California (1932) by Ansel Adams; and Reflected San Francisco Beauty Spots (1979) by IAIN BAXTER&. Browse the online exhibition at sfmoma.org/goldengate.
Inspired Artworks
The SFMOMA Artists Gallery at Fort Mason Center, Building A, opens a new exhibition, showcasing Golden Gate Bridge–themed artworks by over a dozen Bay Area artists. The show opens Memorial Day weekend and will be on view through June. The SFMOMA Artists Gallery is free and open to the public.
Golden Gate Gifts
Give the gift of the Golden Gate to your friends and family. Visit the MuseumStore online or in person for a special selection of bridge-themed items. Selections include educational books and DVDs, postcards, playing cards, and, for your inner craftsman, a model bridge-building kit. Kids can enjoy the bridge, too, with interactive placemats, books, and a new set of rubber stamps. Golden Gate items are available at the MuseumStore or at http://museumstore.sfmoma.org/gogabr.html.
Sweet Celebrations
Indulge in a sweet San Francisco treat during your museum visit. SFMOMA's Blue Bottle Coffee Bar in the famed Rooftop Garden will create a delicious new bridge-themed dessert in honor of the anniversary celebration. The Buckminster Fuller hot chocolate ($5) is made with TCHO chocolate, a floating tetrahedral-shaped vanilla marshmallow, and sprinkled with house made sea salt extracted from salt water collected from under the bridge. The dessert will premiere Memorial Day weekend and will be available throughout the summer.
About the Golden Gate Festival
The Golden Gate Festival is a citywide program with the theme "Bridging Us All." Rather than strictly focusing on the Golden Gate Bridge itself, the festival seeks to highlight the Bay Area community and its relationship to the bridge. The Golden Gate Festival is organized by the Golden Gate Bridge, Highway and Transportation District, the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, National Parks Service, and The Presidio Trust. More information on the program can be found at goldengate75.org.

Founded in 1935 as the first West Coast museum devoted to modern and contemporary art, SFMOMA is currently undergoing a major expansion project that will significantly enhance gallery, education, and public spaces, enabling the museum to better showcase more of its expanded permanent collection. While the museum is temporarily closed for construction, through 2016, SFMOMA is "on the go" with an extensive array of off-site programming across the Bay Area, including collaborative and traveling museum exhibitions, major outdoor projects and commissioned installations, and new education initiatives.

MLBPA head Weiner: Pirates' plan gets our approval
Pirates/MLB Videos
UNIVERSITY PARK — The Pirates' Opening Day payroll of $34.9 million is the lowest in the majors, but it did not sound alarm bells at the players' union.
Earlier this month, the Pirates sent the Major League Baseball Players Association an annual statement detailing how the franchise spent its portion of revenue-sharing funds. MLBPA executive director Michael Weiner on Monday gave grudging approval of the Pirates' budget-conscious strategy for rebuilding the team.
"Are we happy with the current state of the Pirates' payroll• Of course we'd like to see it higher," Weiner said at Penn State's Dickinson School of Law. "Is it tough to see when they sign a player like Nate McLouth and then trade him• Is it tough to see some of the other things they've done• Sure. But, to date, we have been convinced the Pirates have a plan.
"You guys (in Pittsburgh) have as beautiful a ballpark as there is in the major leagues. You've got a phenomenal fan base and history. (Ownership has) a plan in place, so we'll continue to monitor it. We've been satisfied so far."
The Pirates' payroll is about $15 million lower than it was on Opening Day two years ago. That's the result of a slew of trades that swapped higher-priced veterans for prospects and major leaguers in the low-cost stages of their careers.
Although the Pirates have slashed payroll, the amount the team receives via revenue-sharing has remained constant. The Pirates — who have turned a profit every year since 2004 — are believed to have received about $35 million in revenue-sharing money on top of about $40 million from baseball's central fund last year. Team president Frank Coonelly has disputed those figures, saying only that the total income was less than $75 million.
As part of the collective bargaining agreement, every club that gets revenue-sharing funds must reveal its figures to the MLBPA.
"We've been in touch with the commissioner's office and with people in the Pirates' (front office) over the years about how things are going," Weiner said. "To date, at least, we have been satisfied that the new administration there understands the conditions of the basic agreement. I can't get into the specifics, but it appears to us that they have a plan."
Weiner joined the union in 1988 as general counsel. In December, he succeeded Don Fehr as executive director and yesterday spoke about upcoming issues affecting the players, including the expiration of the CBA after the 2011 season.
Weiner said he expects negotiations to begin "no later than next spring." Topics on the table likely include realignment, increased drug testing and an international draft.
The "Super 2" rule, which enables a small percentage of players to become eligible for arbitration a year early depending on their service time, could be a contentious issue.
"The initial intention of that was to avoid roster manipulation," Weiner said. "The number (of service days) moves around, so no one knows exactly where it's going to be until the end of the year. But it's become quite predictable."
Under the current rule, the Pirates could keep top prospect Pedro Alvarez in the minors until later this summer to ensure he wouldn't be arbitration-eligible until 2014. Alvarez's contract has a clause that lets him void a $1.63 million club option for 2013 if he is arbitration-eligible.
Note: Pirates right-hander Hayden Penn, who cleared waivers Saturday, accepted his assignment to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Contamination research
Photo: Christopher R Clarke
Understanding and managing contaminated sites in Antarctica is challenged by the very nature of the environment. The extreme cold of Antarctica locks up the water on land as snow and ice for much of the year and leads to the immobilisation of terrestrial contaminants. However, for a brief period during most summers, snow and ice slowly melt and water flows freely, releasing the contaminants as a pulse of contamination. Most Antarctic stations (and their waste sites) are located on the coast and therefore the adjacent marine environment is likely to be directly or indirectly affected by this contaminated run-off. For this reason, much of our research is concentrating on the type and extent of impacts that might be evident in the adjacent bays.
Photo: Esmee van Wijk, CSIRO
To understand the physical behaviour of contaminants in the Antarctic we have examined their concentrations at various depths through the soil profile in disturbed and undisturbed locations in the refuse tips, in the path of melt-water streams, and in adjacent marine sediments. We have also deployed sediment traps, current meters and drogues to help understand dispersion of contaminants under sea ice and in open water. Ongoing geochemical research is identifying the processes involved with contaminant movement in soil and water, and the physical extent of contamination associated with the waste tip sites.
Our results indicate that many chemicals are present in quantities that exceed the natural levels in the environment, and that a few chemicals are present in levels that would trigger compulsory remediation if they were in Australia. However, we do not know the relative sensitivity of Antarctic species and their response to such contaminant levels.
Research into the impacts on marine ecosystems, ecotoxicology, and the response of local biota to a range of common contaminants, including metals and fuels, is ongoing. This research will help us determine whether environmental standards developed for other regions of the world are appropriate for the specific conditions found in Antarctica.

Growing up in New Sharon, Iowa, Broadway tried to suffocate herself under pillows, hoping someone would notice something was wrong. She struggled with anorexia as a teenager and cut and burned herself to inflict more pain.
As a student at Northwestern in the late 1990s, she was diagnosed with major depression and borderline personality disorder and needed to be hospitalized a few times. She eventually dropped out of college and was a client at Hope Haven's Intensive Psychiatric Rehabilitation program in Rock Valley, Iowa, for a number of years.
Today, Broadway has resumed her studies at Northwestern, adding a biology-health professions major to her music major and psychology minor with a goal of going on to medical school and becoming a psychiatrist. She still receives regular treatment for depression, including electro convulsive therapy and medication, but her past history indicates that if she does experience more acute episodes, Broadway will recuperate, regroup and go on.
"School is going well," she says. "I feel like I'm able to apply myself in ways I couldn't before. My brain feels like it can focus and can get things done."
Broadway was interviewed for Shadow Voices last April when the camera crew was at Hope Haven in Rock Valley. She says she's excited about the program's potential to educate people about mental illness.
"I hope it allows people to see the reality of mental illness as an illness and how we can be more accepting of people with mental illness," she says. "We deal with people who have diabetes and cancer every day but we don't deal with people with mental illness in as positive a light. I hope the show helps people better understand their family members, friends and co-workers."
Kari wrote about her personal journey in the May 2005 issue of The Church Herald, the monthly magazine of the Reformed Church in America, and has spoken about it to college classes and high school youth groups.
Shadow Voices features Rosalynn Carter, former first lady of the U.S. and longtime advocate on mental illness issues, and Dr. David Satcher, former surgeon general. In addition to Broadway, other Iowa interviewees include two individuals who have been aided through the Intensive Psychiatric Rehabilitation program at Hope Haven and Ev Bussema, who at the time of taping was manager of that program.
The documentary covers the involvement of conscientious objectors in mental hospitals during World War II, the stigma and isolation still experienced today, the use of prisons as de facto mental institutions, health insurance issues, today's focus on recovery and rehabilitation, and responses of faith communities.
In any given year, about five to seven percent of adults have a serious mental illness. Approximately 35 percent of all persons will experience a diagnosed brain disorder sometime during their life, with mental illnesses causing the most disability among all illnesses in the U.S., Canada and Western Europe, according to the 2003 U.S. President's Commission on Mental Health Report.
Burton Buller, producer for the program and director of Mennonite Media, says, "We want to challenge society to rethink the stigma that continues to follow diseases of the brain. We want the viewer to come away saying, 'I will never be able to look at or think about mental illness in the same way again.'"
The program was produced for the "Vision and Values" series for ABC-TV by Mennonite Media in partnership with the Interfaith Broadcasting Commission and the Communications Commission of National Council of Churches.
The documentary Mennonite Media produced last year, Fierce Goodbye: Living in the Shadow of Suicide, won a Gold Special Jury Award at the WorldFest-Houston Film Festival, among other awards.
Mennonite Media, based in Harrisonburg, Va., is the outreach media department of Mennonite Mission Network, the mission agency of Mennonite Church USA.
