From The Jakarta Post : Members of the House of Representatives have moved to establish a special task force to investigate U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit No. 2 (Namru-2). The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) proposed the interfaction fact-finding team because of allegations the U.S. laboratory is engaging in espionage and the lack of apparent benefits to Indonesia from their research, said senior PDI-P lawmaker Sidarto Danusubroto. "We propose the House form a task force to investigate the lab to reassure the public that it isn't spying on us and that it really benefits the country," he told The Jakarta Post. Sidarto, a member of the House's Commission I on security, defense and foreign affairs, said the team would urge the laboratory to be transparent in

Way back in the spring of 1969, amid Apollo launches and Lennon/Ono bed-ins, the Canadian government appointed a commission to look into the recreational use of drugs by its citizens. The Commission of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs, also known as the Le Dain Commission as it was chaired by Gerald Le Dain, was completed in 1972. FYI, Mr. Le Dain was a lawyer and World War II vet who after the completion of the commission went on to become a judge and eventually work his way up to sitting on the Supreme Court of Canada for four years.An interim report, consisting of 557 pages + appendices, was released in 1970. I found a copy in a bookstore this afternoon. It is set in what appears to be Courier typeface, with wonderfully extravagant leading and tracking. Based on a quick skim th
I speak with many people. Often many people will say they are asking themselves “who am I” or “what am I”, and some will say they have been asking that question for years or they have been working on it bit by bit. This tells me they are mentally trying to figure out who they are.
Self inquiry isn’t so much mental as kinesthetic. Just be aware of what is right now…with the curiosity to find out who/what you are. There is no need to work on this for years or even bit by bit…just look. Ask just once…sincerely and whole heartedly…”Who am I” or “What am I” and stop (do nothing) for just one second…just be aware of what is. Ask the question and let it go (sending it out) and then just look (not trying to do anything)…aware of what is (the response).

Below is an email response to an inquiry my wife made to Horizon Organic about the presence of any gluten in their products. Since she has severe Celiac disease associated with the skin problem Dermatitis Herpetiformis she is extremely sensitive to even minute amounts of gluten that may be hidden in foods or be encountered as the result of cross contamination. The email response illustrates a couple of important problems or challenges those of us trying to follow a gluten free diet encounter. First, gluten like grain proteins are found in barley and rye, not just wheat. Wheat is required to be disclosed on foods but barley, rye and gluten are not. Second, there is not yet a U.S. recognized and accepted definition of "gluten-free". The FDA is working on this issue but there is a political b

Maybe one that would just check my w-2 and current pay stub and even take a copy of my credit report? Thanks for your time.The Answer : Most credit cards are going to do a check. There are all kinds of offers that come in the mail and are posted on the internet. There are quite a few banks/companies that will give you a card with a limited or secured amount to use. However, most of these cards ask for a annual fee, plus the interest rate is high, and there may be a monthly maintenance fee as well. They are all over the place it shouldn't be to hard to find. But, remember that any app you put in will hit your credit score and lower the number for each hit.

Ten years after her death, a new formal inquiry into Princess Diana's car crash death begins in London, but experts predict the investigation will yield nothing new.
A PARLIAMENTARY inquiry has been launched in the eastern German state of Saxony-Anhalt into allegations that police failed to deal effectively with neo-Nazi attacks.A spate of crimes, including racially-motivated assaults, has left some politicians worried about their region's reputation.Last month, a group of Indians were attacked in the small town of Muegeln in the neighbouring state of Saxony and in June, police in Saxony-Anhalt came under fire over their response to an attack on a troupe of actors.The inquiry will focus on the police leadership in the city of Dessau-Rosslau. Several newspapers have quoted an officer there as advocating "turning a blind eye" to right-wing crimes.Far-right violence is on the rise in Germany. Last year, it reached its highest level since reunification in 1990.Groups who work with crime victims have long said that the country's right-wing culture is institutionalised and criticise police and prosecutors for being slow to bring cases to court."We must
I have done very little adjusting on this photo; tone curve, clarity, vibrance, white balance, and sharpening in Lightroom.
In Photoshop I did a little cloning to a layer as this rose is a little aged but not much. A few marks stood out too much and didn’t add to the flower.
I believe this would make a gorgeous watercolor as the background looks like a watercolor wash.
Robert Henri once said, “Plainly you are to develop as a seer, as an appreciator as well as a craftsman.”
With that said, what is your opinion of this rose? Is there something you would change?
Are the mid-values too dark?
Is it too saturated?
Would you throw it in the trash?
Is the composition pleasing? Remember I’ll be painting it so I could do minor adjustments, just nothing major. I’ve learned my lesson and care not to revisit those trials some hours of toil working to fix what was already broken.

Sri Ramana’s (1879-1950) central teaching is: Self-inquiry. Instead of wanting to know this and that, seek to know the Self. Ask ‘Who am I?’ instead of asking about a hundred other things. Self-inquiry ought to be the easiest of all tasks. But it seems to be the most difficult because we have become strangers to our Self. What one has to do is simple - to abide as the Self. This is the ultimate Truth. This is one’s eternal, natural, inherent state. On account of ignorance we identify ourselves with the not-I.The most subtle of all these identifications is with the ego. Let us search for the root of the ego. Where from does this pseudo-I arise? At the end of this quest we shall find that the ego disappears letting the eternal Self shine. So the best discipline is the inquiry: ‘Who am I?’ This is the greatest japa. This is the true pranayama.. the thought ‘I am not the body’ (naham) is exhalation (rechaka);. the inquiry ‘Who am I?’ (koham) is inhalation (puraka);. the
THE Pakistan Cricket Board has set aside a $US5000 ($6190) fine on controversial paceman Shoaib Akhtar, ordering a fresh inquiry into an alleged breach of discipline. "Akhtar's appeal has been accepted and the fine is set aside as Akhtar was not properly served the notice on the right address," said Moin Afzal, a member of the appeals committee. "The case has been remanded back to manager Talat Ali for a fresh inquiry," he said. The fast bowler was earlier fined 100,000 rupees ($1650) for leaving a training camp in Karachi earlier this month, and 200,000 rupees ($3300) for snubbing a subsequent disciplinary hearing. But Akhtar said he had not been given advance notice of the hearing, having only been told after the fine was imposed. He also pleaded that he had told captain Shoaib Malik that he was leaving the camp. Malik accepted Akhtar's assertion but said he had informed the paceman to also tell Ali, who was the senior official in charge. Agence France-

Woolmer's death is no longer being treated as suspicious
It is believed that Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, who died on March 18th, was not murdered as first suspected but died of natural causes.
The Daily Mail claims a source close to the investigation has told them that Jamaican police will call a press conference early next week to confirm that murder has now been ruled out.
"Mr Woolmer was not a well man. It is now accepted that he died of natural causes," said the source.
It was initially thought that Woolmer's death could have been linked to match-fixing as he died the morning after Pakistan's shock exit from the World Cup at the hands of Ireland.
Police believed Woolmer had been strangled, though there was no sign of a struggle, so toxicology investigations were carried out to see if the 58-year-old had been drugged as well.
These reports and further investigation seem to suggest that Woolmer was not murdered at all and that police had been hasty in their initia

Kaiser inquiry: Sunkuli lamentsStory by FRANCIS THOYAPublication Date: 2/22/2007Daily NationFormer minister of State Julius Sunkuli took the dock yesterday denying killing Mill Hill missionary John Kaiser, seven years ago.Testifying in an inquest, the former minister said allegations that he had a motive to kill Father Kaiser were untrue, adding that such a story was mooted with a sole purpose of damaging his reputation and ruining him politically.“Although we had differences with Fr Kaiser, I had no reason to kill him,” Mr Sunkuli told principal magistrate Maureen Odero.In a private prosecution, the Catholic Church has insisted that Mr Sunkuli plotted to kill Fr Kaiser. The church says the differences related to the minister’s acts of sexual molestation against school girls in Kilgoris and his involvement in the tribal clashes in Trans Mara.Sexual scandalYesterday, Mr Sunkuli said the Fr Kaiser and the Federation of Women Lawyers’ (FIDA) push to implicate him with sexual scand
A Book Review of Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion (Amazon Astore UK | US) by Daniel Dennett (Author of Breaking the spell: Religion as natural phenomenon: UK | US) written for Free Inquiry*:
First things first: since Richard Dawkins and I are allies on several fronts, and friends, and since we have both recently published books on religion, the normal presumption of a disinterested reviewer must be cancelled. It is not that I couldn't write an objective and impersonal review if I tried but that such an effort would be misplaced. No protestations of impartiality could, or should, dislodge the ambient assumption that friendship disqualifies one from the task. Moreover, what readers of Free Inquiry presumably would like to know is how our distinct but overlapping projects developed and what I make of the results. Are we playing good cop/bad cop? We cite each other frequently; did we plan a division of labor in advance, and compare notes as we worked? No. We discussed our projects in
These are difficult times for educators who believe that learning is worth pursuing for its own sake and that the chief purpose of school is the nurturing of students as whole human beings. Higher test scores seem to be the order of the day. To accomplish this aim, administrators strain to meet political agendas, teachers respond by teaching to the test, and students in turn react by cheating, taking "learning steroids†(legal and illegal pyschostimulants), or just not caring in order to cope with the demands placed on them in school.
