About half a year ago, Stephen Little (curator and head, Chinese and Korean Art) and I both arrived to the museum. Our first mission was to bring LACMA’s collection of Chinese art back on display. As of this past weekend, approximately forty objects are now on view. The reinstalled gallery is designed to tell the history of art in China, with each dynasty distinguished by examples that reflect the aesthetics, technology, and ideology of their time period. To achieve this goal, nothing is | more illuminating than our best-known pieces.
One of the most celebrated early Chinese artworks from LACMA’s collection is a cauldron called ding from the Zhou dynasty (1046–256 BC). This ding is from a set that would include more vessels of different shapes and sizes. Called mingqi in Chinese, meaning “spirit objects,” such sets were used during burial rituals and ceremonies conducted for ancestors, and demonstrate the importance of ancestral worship in the early times | [

Arriving at the airport, I thought that after we finally boarded the airplane at BWI - to NYC first, then on to Reykjavik - an overwhelming sense of relief/phew! would sweep over me. But it didn't.

The United Nation’s under-secretary for humanitarian affairs Jan Egeland has complained that the Sudanese government is preventing him from visiting the Darfur region. He added that the government was keen to prevent him from witnessing the present round of “ethnic cleansing”. He was scheduled to visit the region March 3rd but was not permitted to do so as the Sudanese government gave an excuse that the day was an Islamic holiday.
There seems to be no love lost between Egeland and the Sudanese government. This is a country he had once accused of hosting “the worst humanitarian crisis in the world”.
After signing a shaky peace treaty with rebels in the south to end decades old bloody war that claimed more than two million lives, the Sudanese government apparently backed the Janjaweed militia to start another war in the Western region of Darfur. In two years, over 180,000 people have been killed, two million others displaced, and more than 300 villages burnt and countless number of women raped.
The Arab regime in | Khartoum has been wary of any involvement of the UN in resolving the crisis. When there was suggestion that a UN peace-keeping force take over from the African Union force at the end of their mandate, there was strong opposition from the Sudanese government.

In October of 2010—and amidst global media frenzy—33 Chilean miners were excavated from the earth.

Protesting ongoing colonial practices, and most directly the “anti-terrorist” laws imposed since the time of Pinochet, a coalition of Mapuches dramatically performed an 82-day hunger strike.1 However this movement did not garner nearly the same degree of international acclaim nor could it be so easily co-opted in the service of consolidating capital and the nation.

Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is prejudice, hatred of, or discrimination against Jews for reasons connected to their Jewish heritage. A person who holds such positions is called an "antisemite".
While the term's etymology might suggest that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic peoples, the term was coined in the late 19th century in Germany as a more scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred"), and that has been its normal use since then. For the purposes of a 2005 U.S. governmental report, antisemitism was considered "hatred toward Jews—individ | ually and as a group—that can be attributed to the Jewish religion and/or ethnicity."
Antisemitism may be manifested in many ways, ranging from expressions of hatred of or discrimination against individual Jews to organized violent attacks by mobs, state police, or even military attacks on entire Jewish communities. Although the term did not come into common usage until the 19th century, it is now also applied to historic anti-Jewish incidences. Notable instances of persecution include the pogroms which preceded the First Crusade | [

‘Frozen’ baby is this family’s ray of hope
A LITTLE boy who was “frozen” as he battled back from heart surgery has been given a clean bill of health.
Doctors told the parents of Finley Burton he has a “happy heart” and will not be due for another check-up until next year.
Looking at this picture of Finley, who turns three in February, when he was just three months old and he suffered complications after having surgery for two holes in the heart and a narrowing of a major artery, his parents Donna Link-Emery and Aaron Burton thought he may not survive.
But to see him now, he is just like any other boy of his age and is looking forward to starting nursery education in February.
Finley hit local and national headlines in 2010 after he was “frozen” and placed on an external pacemaker following complications after surgery.
His tiny heart had gone into junctional ectopic tachycardia, a severe type of heart rhythm and medics took the unusual step of placing him an inflatable “bag” and lowered his temperature to just 33.4C to stop any shivering disturbing the pacemaker | .
Mum Donna, now 30, said: “He has just been for a check-up at the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle and he was fine.

Hurricane Sandy: Problems at Five Nuke Plants
iStockphoto/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) -- The nation's oldest nuclear plant declared an alert and a second plant just 40 miles from New York City was forced to shut down power as five different nuke plants in Hurricane Sandy's path experienced problems during the storm.
Indian Point in Buchanan, New York, on the Hudson River north of New York City, automatically shut power to its unit 3 on Monday night "as a result of an electrical grid disturbance," according to Entergy, the plant's operator.
The connection between the generator and the offsite grid was lost, and the unit is designed to shut down to protect itself from electrical damage. Entergy said there was no release of radioactivity, no damage to equipment, and no threat to the public health.
"At Indian Point yesterday the river level and wind had no impact on plant operation," said a spokesman. Another unit at the plant continues to operate, and the company expects unit 3 to return to service within days.
Operators also declared an alert at the nation's oldest nuclear plant, Oyster Creek in Lacey Township, New Jersey, on Monday evening | after the center of Sandy made landfall, "due to water exceeding certain high water level criteria in the plant's water intake structure."
The alert level is the "the second lowest of four action levels," as defined by the NRC.

Defence Secretary Philip Hammond has been summoned to address Parliament on Britain's strategy in Afghanistan, after an announcement that Nato forces are scaling back joint operations with Afghan soldiers and police.
Mr Hammond insisted that there was no change in Government policy on Afghanistan, and said the announcement by the International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) was only a "draft order" which would have "minimal" impact on operations by UK forces.
But Speaker John Bercow granted a request from Conservative MP John Baron for the Defence Secretary to come to the Commons for the second day in succession this afternoon to answer an urgent question on Afghanistan.
Isaf announced in a statement overnight that most joint patrols and advisory work with Afghan troops will now only be conducted at battalion level and above, while co-operation with smaller units will have to be "evaluated on a case-by-case basis" and approved by regional commanders.
The announcement came after a wave of "green-on-blue" attacks involving Afghan soldiers and police - or militants wearing their uniforms - turning their weapons on international troops.

Since most of you will spend the majority of your life at your job until you die, it’s probably a good idea to figure out how to get a few laughs. And that’s why we have Office Humor. It’s an off-shoot of the comedy family, easy enough for anyone to grasp and simple enough for anyone to create.
Alas, with workplace comedies like “The Mary Tyler Moore Show,” “The Office,” or “Hey, That’s My Stapler!” people have gotten the impression that office humor takes a lot of work, a staff of writers and a studio audience. Nothing could be further from the truth. The impossibly high bar set by TV sit-coms simply doesn’t apply to real-life | office humor.
As in the most classic farces, mistaken and assumed identity is a mainstay of office humor. Say one employee, “Bill,” sits at a desk normally occupied by a different employee, “Betty,” it is then possible, if not required, to say to “Bill” “Hey, ‘Betty,’ you sure have changed!”

Cleaning your awning is really simple to do too | . It’s as easy as washing your car. Take a soft brush, a mild detergent, a water hose and wash away the grime and dirt that has settle on the surface. Rinse, lather, repeat until clean. That’s it! Really easy.
If your awning is vinyl fabric, it may need to be retreated with Vinyl Protectant to keep the fabric soft and pliable, especially after this harsh winter | [

Awesome Arlington Persian Chow!!! No more driving to Dallas!
My wife and I moved to Arlington from Los Angeles and really missed Persian food. So low and behold when my wife finds a Persian restaurant in town. Colbeh Restaurant is a small family restaurant off of 360 in Arlington.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Persian food, let me tell you... it's awesome. Forget about the whole foreign food thing. They've got some really savory, yummy chow here.
My wife and I ordered the Koobideh and the Ghormeh Sabzi respectively. Koobideh is basically ground beef that is flavored with some mild spices and served over a plate of rice. That really doesn't do | it justice but it's really good stuff. My wife's dish is more of a stew to be mixed in with the rice. The meal is served with pita bread, some feta and herbs as a starter.

SIKESTON -- Another arrest was made in connection to the Tuesday morning's home-invasion robbery.
Chanica Williams, 32, of Sikeston was arrested at 9:30 a.m. Thursday on a warrant by the Sikeston Department of Public Safety.
Williams is charged with receiving stolen property, possession of cocaine and tampering with evidence.
According to Capt. Jim McMillen, public information officer for DPS, Mark A. Stokes, 36, and Aundrea N. Thompson, 17, went to William's home on Lions to go through and divide property stolen from an 83-year-old female.
The victim was robbed after she invited Thompson into her home to use her phone. Stokes also came inside and tied the victim up and put her in a closet | and threatened physical violence.
Stolen property recovered from William's home by arresting officers included a wallet with the victim's identification, according to McMillen.
Stokes and Thompson are charged with Class A felonies of first degree robbery | [

Newt Gingrich is out with two new attacks on Mitt Romney: an ad airing in South Carolina that tries to brand Romney as a “pro-abortion” governor, and a nearly three-minute Web video that gauges Romney statements on a “Baloney-O-Meter.” We found a bit of baloney in both.
- The ad airing in South Carolina misleadingly says that Romney “expanded access to abortion pills.” The law in question concerned emergency contraception, or “the morning-after pill” (now available over the counter), not the controversial RU-486, known as “the abortion pill.”
- The ad also says Romney “put Planned Parenthood on a state medical board but failed to put a pro-life group on the same board.” The Web video makes an even more sweeping claim that Romney “gave Planned Parenthood power over Massachusetts healthcare.” But the president of a right-to-life affiliate told us that the board had nothing to do with abortion and was a “minor” issue. “This isn’t something that we would choose to even bring up,” she said.
- It makes the misleading claim that the Massachusetts health care | law called for “taxpayer-funded abortions.” But the law said nothing about abortion. It was the state exchange that later said abortions would be covered by subsidized plans, following state Supreme Court rulings on what is required of Medicaid coverage.
- Gingrich’s web video lacks context when it claims that Romney raised taxes and fees “on gun owners and people who are blind.” The fees on the blind never took | [

Mourinho’s latest outburst betrays signs of strain
Real Madrid’s coach has once again been the centre of controversy due to some outlandish declarations. But this time there seems to be less method than usual in Mourinho's madness.
By Guy Hedgecoe
A few weeks ago, Iberosphere put forward the theory that José Mourinho’s recent controversial outbursts had been due to a combination of genuine anger and calculated politicking. That may indeed be the case, but his latest verbal broadside, launched during a press conference on the eve of Real | Madrid’s league game against Málaga on March 3, shows very little in the way of calculated pot-stirring, and a good deal in terms of thin-skinned delusion.

Ripping a page from the 1971 California Vehicle Code book, I enclosed it, along with a check, and a letter protesting the excessive bail, in a stamped envelope addressed to the Livingston, California Justice Court. I'd been hauling some frozen produce at the time. The load had shifted, making it about 1000 lbs. over on the axel. The Livingston Judge had doubled the amount required by state law. It was only around $24, so when the extra money wasn't returned I didn't press the matter. It burned me to think that his court was probably raking it in, since a lot of trucks weigh in at the Livingston scales. I'd hauled a lot of commodities during my twenty years as an owner operator, but this was the first time a Judge ever hit me with excessive bail.
Six years later, on July 26, 1977, while hauling logs in Yuba County, California, I got an overload ticket for 3,200 lbs. The scales were not on level ground, and my truck was in a turning position when the patrolman weighed it. He wouldn't let me straighten it | out, stating that it would make no difference. I figured the trailer was 2,000 lbs. over instead of 3,200. The drivers were almost 2,000 lbs light.
The Marysville, California Justice Court notified me that bail for the overload was set at $250, and the court date was August 18, at 8: | [

UFC: Phil Davis And His Pink Trunks Featured In October’s FIGHT! Magazine
Most Americans are probably aware that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, something especially evident in our sports culture. Notice a lot of your favorite NFL players wearing a bit more pink these days? It’s the league’s nod toward this high-visibility cause.
MMA has its own beacon of awareness in UFC light heavyweight Phil Davis. The world’s largest MMA organization didn’t tell Davis to wear pink trunks but rather it was Davis’ decision to don a color not exactly associated with a tough guy sport. He does so to honor his mom and his late aunt who battled cancer.
After getting a lead from my editor, I interviewed Davis for October’s FIGHT! Magazine (available on newsstands with Carlos Condit on the cover) about how he came to the decision, what cancer has done to his family and what’s going on with his career.
This was definitely a last-minute story idea, written over Labor Day weekend with the interview done in my car on the way up to Maine and the piece written the next day. This isn’t anything new for journalists/feature writers, but it’s still fun to take people | behind the curtain.

ST. PETERS, Mo.(KSDK) - A large part of President Obama's State of the Union address was about freedom and those who fight for it.
He promised 34,000 troops will come home from Afghanistan by this time next year. That represents more than half of the Americans deployed to the war-torn country.
St. Peters resident, Mat Gehrin, has a younger brother who is an Army Sergeant based in Tacoma, Washington. Sgt. Jeff Gehrin has been deployed three times. Two of the deployments were to Afghanistan and the 25 year old is slated to go there again in November as part of the 2nd Infantry Division.
The President's promise gave Mat some relief because he believes the U.S. Armed Forces, including his brother, are stretched to thin.
"My brother for four years in a row was either deployed or getting ready to be deployed. It makes it difficult to accept him being in [the Army] not because he is | in harms way but because he is constantly in harms way," said Mat Gehrin.

New research into the extinction of the Australian fauna between 50,000 and 45,000 years ago makes sense in light of Genesis 3:17-20. This passage teaches that the earth is cursed because of humanity’s sin. It seems self-evident that human behavior has caused widespread ecological disaster. This study describes another historical example. Researchers conclude that when the first humans occupied Australia, they caused wide-scale extinctions of animals. These humans apparently fired the landscape, which converted trees, | shrubs, and grasslands into desert scrub. This rapid and destructive transformation of the landscape drove many animal species to extinction. While such behavior provided no evolutionary advantage, the Bible provides a powerful explanatory framework that accounts for humanity’s impact on planet Earth.

The chemokine G protein-coupled receptor CC chemokine receptor 5 ( | CCR5) is used as an entry gate by CCR5-tropic and dual- or CCR5/CXC chemokine receptor 4-tropic strains of HIV to enter the human host cells. Thus, CCR5 antagonists (i.e., maraviroc) have been proven to be clinically effective by preventing the interaction between viral glycoprotein 120 and CCR5 and thus impeding viral entry into host cells. However, the emergence of HIV strains resistant to CCR5 antagonists has been reported in vitro and in vivo, where the virus has adapted to enter the cells via antagonist-bound CCR5 | [

The Acer Liquid E was recently released by Rogers and it’s their newest Android-powered device. This runs OS 2.1 and I believe this will be included in the few devices that will get an upgrade to the new OS 2.2 when it’s released.
The overall design of the Liquid E is well put together. Sleek, all decked out in a glossy back with curved edges (dimensions are 116×54×12.75mm and weighs in at only 135 grams). The specs are solid too. The 3.5-inch touchscreen display has a resolution of 480×800 but captures a massive amount of fingerprints. Pictures and videos from the 5 megapixel camera show all show up nice – the only issue I found with the camera is the quality of sound from the video. It came out sounding really low and muffled.
Using the QWERTY keyboard on the screen didn’t present any issues over the past few days. The touchscreen is responsive and the Liquid E comes with a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor that’s unfortunately been reduced to 768MHz to preserve its battery life.
Even with all the | other goodness that’s packed into this Acer such as WiFi, full HTML browser, GPS, 3.5mm headset jack, access to the Android Market, all your e-mail, Google Maps, Google Talk, Bluetooth and that it can holds up to 32GB… I found the device somewhat had a cheap feel to it. There’s a good reason why Rogers priced this at $49.99 on a 3-year contract. This is not something I would be proud to carry with me for the next several years. | [

Robert De Niro on acting, shyness and luck
(CBS News) Robert De Niro is one of our most respected actors. Now, with his latest role as a football fanatic in the movie "Silver Linings Playbook," some say he may burnish that reputation | with his third Oscar win. He sat down with Lee Cowan for some Questions and Answers:
Robert De Niro doesn't grant many interviews. Let's face it: He doesn't have to.
But on the rare occasion that he does, arguably one of the finest screen actors of his generation famously finds himself at a loss for words.
"When people come up to you and describe you as a legend, how does that sit with you?" asked Cowan.

Many in the atheist movement have been extremely outspoken about what they see as the dangers Islam poses to the West, notably Pat Condell, Sam Harris, and the late Christopher Hitchens. They use the terrorist attacks of 9/11 or the election of Hamas in Gaza to prove their thesis that Islamic Fundamentalism is on the rise and needs to be stamped out.

Along with obsessive painting comes impulse painting. There have been many nights that I've decided to paint walls at 9pm!

Scary? Why? Because the small thinking powers-that-be do not want us to think big—and they definitely do not want us to act on our big thoughts. They want us to be tame and predictable, hooked up to the IV of television and shopping, living in our comfortable-life comas. Life is so much easier that way. The citizens (that means us) are tame. The corporations and politicians do what they want. The few can control the many. Is that what you want?
Of course not. Besides, if you’re here you are already awake to the contagious, catalytic power of big thinking. You are ready to look inward and outward, to think bigger about who you are and what you offer the world.

Ford Recalls Escapes for Possible Engine Fires
Ford Motor Company has announced the second major recall this week of the 2013 Escape SUVs.
Ford officials are telling owners of the new Escape not to drive the vehicle until dealers can fix a fuel line that may crack and cause engine fires.
There has only been one such incident with a customer and | no injuries were reported.
The recall is for 2013 Escapes with 1.6 liter four-cylinder engines. Officials say dealers will pick up the vehicle up and drop off a loaner car until repairs are finished.
This is the second recall of the redesigned Escape, which went on sale in June. On Saturday, the company said it would recall more than 10,000 Escapes to fix carpet padding that could interfere with braking.

London (CNN) -- British Foreign Secretary William Hague visited Somalia's capital Mogadishu Thursday, the Foreign Office announced, saying it was the first trip there by a British foreign secretary since 1992.
A new British ambassador to Somalia, Matt Baugh, also presented his credentials Thursday, the Foreign Office said -- although Britain does not have an embassy in the country.
"The UK is actively seeking to re-open an embassy in Mogadishu as soon as local circumstances permit," the government said in a statement.
Hague called his visit "a sign of Britain's commitment to the people and country of Somalia," while the Foreign Office said it "followed political and security improvements in the region."
But, the Foreign Office acknowledged, "Large parts of Somalia are controlled by extremists and criminal gangs who use it as a base to launch terrorist attacks and kidnappings."
United States special operations forces launched a dramatic raid into Somalia last month to rescue two hostages who had been held since October, American Jessica Buchanan and Dane Poul Thisted.
Hague | 's visit comes only days after the Somali Islamist militia Al-Shabaab said it was banning the International Committee of the Red Cross from operating in the regions it controls, accusing the organization of distributing expired food.

John Bowden was arrested in 1980, then a young man, for murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Katika 1992, after years of brutality and repression, he managed to escape and was on the run from the police for a year and a half. He was recaptured in March 1994 and committed to Perth Prison in Scotland. Here he talks about various aspects of being inside, including the reasons as to why he committed murder and his subsequent politicisation.
It was said that the murder was, kwa bahati mbaya, something which happens all too frequently when men quarrel while drunk. In a released pamphlet, Tear Down The Walls! John describes the killing as “a senseless, almost gratuitous killing”, which “reflected the extent of my brutalisation after years of brutalising treatment in | state institutions.”
Soon after his imprisonment, in his own words, John “began to become politicized, to emerge from the hopelessness, violence, and rage that had characterised my life thus far.” As John’s self-awareness and politicization grew, he began to emerge as an effective prison organiser and an articulate | [
