Maurice Béjart, January 1, 1927 - November 22, 2007
Maurice Béjart était un grand ami de mon oncle et ma tante. Je l'ai rencontré chez mon oncle en 1974, à l'époque où il était fraichement converti au Soufisme. Je fus fortement impressionnée par sa personnalité, bien qu'elle irritait beaucoup ma tante.
Repose en paix, Maurice.
Maurice Béjart was a close friend of my uncle and aunt. I met him at my uncle's home in 1974, at the time he had newly converted to Sufism. His personality impressed me enormously, even though it annoyed my aunt to a great degree.
Rest in peace, Maurice.

Bob Thurman and Deepak Chopra - Buddhism and Vedanta
Received from a dear MySpace friend:
"In contrasting Buddhism and Vedanta (Hindu philosophy), Bob Thurman, a former Buddhist monk and Deepak Chopra find there are more comparisons than differences, and both agree that, more and more, scientists are showing that quantum physics and spirituality (awareness, consciousness, the soul) are the nature of true reality. A must-see."

From "The Real News" - Interview with Dr. David Suzuki
"The award-winning environmentalist and broadcaster speaks of climate change as a slow motion catastrophe.
"He states that the media has to take responsibility for the fact that there is a notion that the issue of climate change is still controversial, even though the vast majority of climatologists in the world say something must be done."

From "The Real News" - George Monbiot on Global Warming
Author of the bestselling books Captive State, The Age of Consent and Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning. George Monbiot is a columnist for the Guardian.
What causes global warming?
What is the tipping point?
And... "Why are countries failing to act with any sense of urgency?"
George Monbiot comments on the Stern report
The Stern Report said "we face a crisis on a scale of the great wars." Does Monbiot agree?
And... "How does politics compromise science?"
Monbiot on the media and global warming
We ask "Does the media perpetuate a lack of urgency on global warming?"
And... "Does corporate ownership of the media affect how journalists report the issue?"
George Monbiot on solutions to global warming
"How can we achieve a 90% reduction in CO2 emissions?"
Monbiot shares his research on the world's most innovative ideas for change

Jason Watts - Nudi And A Crab
"This clip is from a 6 gallon nano tank that is attached to my 300 gallon reef system. The arrow crab (Stenorhynchus seticornis), the firefish (Nemateleotris magnifica) and the Lettuce Sea Slug (Nudibranch), Green (Tridachia sp., Elysia sp.) are the stars of this performance."

Jason Watts - Cassiopeia Xamachana - Upside Down Jellyfish
"After modifing this 3 gallon tank to generate a circular flow (kreisel), I raised a culture of brine shrimp in it to see how well the design worked. I was very pleased with the result. later that week, while getting dry goods from the local fish shop, I saw a bowl shaped tank with Upside Down Jellyfish polyps and ephyras. These had come in to the shop as hitch hikers. These ephyra ended up killing the sea horses housed in the bowl. I asked the owner if she would part with a few. As I hoped to raise them through their life cycle.
"Adult jellies (medusae) reproduce sexually resulting in larva (or planula). After a period of drifting, the planula will settle on any and evey available surface becoming a stationary polyp that can clone itself. Each polyp, resembling aptasia anemonies, will begin to bud-off a small, free swimming medsua called a ephyra.
"Four little ephyras came home with me that night. Six more were to follow the next day. It's been three weeks now and all ten are with me and growing fast. The largest is now 7/8" across the bell."

Stars circling the supermassive black hole in the center of our galaxy
Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE)
"An international team of astronomers, lead by researchers at the Max-Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics (MPE), has directly observed an otherwise normal star orbiting the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy."
"Andrea Ghez et al of the UCLA Astronomy Department's Galactic Center Group published a paper in Nature in 2000 where they observe orbits of a dozen individual stars near the center of our galaxy. They used these observations to predict the position of a supermassive black hole there. This movie shows these observations, with their extrapolated orbits. The side of the initial box is about 0.8 parsecs (15 trillion miles), while the cross in the center is the position of the black hole."
