Albert Einstein When I take a look at our society as a whole and think about the stage of evolution that we are at, it amazes me how many problems still exist on earth. We have advanced tremendously in technology and commerce, but one thing we have neglected to advance is the world’s consciousness, the ability to be awake in the world. Any problems we have come from a lack of awareness. If our politicians were really conscious there would be no question about right and wrong, they would be able to make the right decision. We live in the age of information, but even with all the knowledge of the world at our fingertips, what good does it really do us if we are not conscious and awake? The problem is that knowledge essentially binds us, the more knowledge a person gains, the more psychologically asleep that he becomes.
Levels Of Consciousness Your mind has different levels of consciousness. Pranav Mistry: The thrilling potential of SixthSense technology. The Most Inspirational Unofficial NASA Commercial Ever. Puppy Mills. No Child Left Inside. “Every child,” wrote pioneer botanist Luther Burbank, “should have mud pies, grasshoppers, tadpoles, frogs, mud turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, chestnuts, trees to climb.
Brooks to wade, woodchucks, bats, bees, butterflies, various animals to pet, hayfields, pinecones, rocks to roll, snakes, huckleberries and hornets. And any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of education.” In our education-obsessed culture, elite kids play piano and speak three languages by the age of four, but just about every North American kid is deprived. In one of the greatest retreats ever, children are vanishing from a critical piece of territory: their own backyards. And there isn’t a kid on the planet who knows what a huckleberry is, other than a character in a Mark Twain book. For the average kid only spends 30 minutes a day outside, an amount that shrinks yearly. Adults are colluding in this retreat. Ever. Asthma rates are climbing.

Cover of Molecular Systmatics, 2nd ed Here is yet another version from Hannah Udelll at the University of Wisconson-Madisson. Is the Universe a Holographic Reality? The Universe as a Hologram by Michael Talbot Does Objective Reality Exist, or is the Universe a Phantasm? In 1982 a remarkable event took place. At the University of Paris a research team led by physicist Alain Aspect performed what may turn out to be one of the most important experiments of the 20th century. You did not hear about it on the evening news. In fact, unless you are in the habit of reading scientific journals you probably have never even heard Aspect's name, though there are some who believe his discovery may change the face of science. Aspect and his team discovered that under certain circumstances subatomic particles such as electrons are able to instantaneously communicate with each other regardless of the distance separating them.
It doesn't matter whether they are 10 feet or 10 billion miles apart. To understand why Bohm makes this startling assertion, one must first understand a little about holograms. What else the superhologram contains is an open-ended question. Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords survives assassination attempt - National Airlines/Airport. United States Member of Congress Gabrielle Giffords, survived a gunshot wound which reportedly passed through her brain on Saturday, January 8, 2011 at about 10:00 a.m. local time. She was attending a "Congress on your Corner" Congressional constituent event at a Safeway supermarket in northwest Tucson, Arizona when she was shot at point blank range. At least nine others who were near her were injured, with one report of a fatality. According to the Associated Press (AP), a suspect in the shooting, Jared Lee Loughner, age 22, from Tucson, AZ, is being held in police custody.
Mr. Laughner is alleged to have used a 9mm handgun with an extended magazine.

Space Shuttle Endeavour. Space Shuttle Endeavour (Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-105) is one of the retired orbiters of the Space Shuttle program of NASA, the space agency of the United States.[1] Endeavour was the fifth and final spaceworthy NASA space shuttle to be built, and first flew in May 1992 on mission STS-49 with its last mission being STS-134 in May 2011.[2][3] The STS-134 mission was originally planned as the final mission of the Space Shuttle program,[4] but with authorization of the STS-135 mission, Atlantis became the last Space Shuttle to fly. The United States Congress authorized the construction of Endeavour in 1987 to replace Challenger, which was lost in the STS-51-L launch accident where the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up about two minutes into flight in 1986.
Structural spares built during the construction of Discovery and Atlantis, two of the previous shuttles, were used in its assembly.

Reporting from Tucson — Shortly before a gunman shot Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in the head and killed six bystanders, the man who helped position Arizona at the vanguard of a national right-wing populist revolt addressed supporters in Phoenix. "We're leading the nation," state Sen. Russell Pearce told the Maricopa County Republican Party as he celebrated the GOP's clean sweep of state elections in November and Arizona's influence on immigration and other issues.
Pearce, who wrote a tough immigration law last year, went on in the speech later posted on YouTube: "If it wasn't for Arizona you wouldn't have the debate going on that you have. … We've changed the face of this nation through the tea party, through Americans who want their government back. " Hours later, Pima County Sheriff Clarence W. Dupnik offered a different assessment of Arizona politics. There's no precise way to measure where an entire state sits on the political spectrum. Aerogel.org. What do you say? “All modern American literature,” Ernest Hemingway wrote, “comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn.” Being an iconic classic, however, hasn’t protected Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from being banned, bowdlerized and bleeped.
It hasn’t protected the novel from being cleaned up, updated and “improved.” A new effort to sanitize Huckleberry Finn comes from Alan Gribben, a professor of English at Auburn University, at Montgomery, Alabama, who has produced a new edition of Twain’s novel that replaces the word “nigger” with “slave.” Nigger, which appears in the book more than 200 times, was a common racial epithet in the antebellum South, used by Twain as part of his characters’ vernacular speech and as a reflection of mid-19th-century social attitudes along the Mississippi River. Controversies over Huckleberry Finn occur with predictable regularity. Authors’ original texts should be sacrosanct intellectual property, whether a book is a classic or not.

By Friday, November 26, 2010 10:10 EDT The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) received over 900 complaints from travelers over the last month who’ve been subjected to the new screening procedures of the Transportation Security Agency.
“The TSA agent used her hands to feel under and between my breasts,” said one woman. “She then rammed her hand up into my crotch until it jammed into my pubic bone.” About 70 airports have put into use over 400 backscatter x-ray machines that can see beneath passengers’ clothing. If the ticket-holder refuses the scan due to health or privacy concerns, they’re subjected to an invasive physical pat-down. “The government must keep us safe, but it must do so in a way that is sensible, effective and constitutional,” Laura W. A former Army veteran and sexual assault victim was forced to endure a TSA pat down because of her panty-liner, according to her email to a popular women’s health company.
The Forest, The Trees, and the TSA by John Jay Myers. By John Jay Myers With all the naked viewing and groping going on, I wonder if this is the United States of America or the back room of an adult video store. We have two major problems here, the TSA and their intrusive unconstitutional invasions of our rights, and the bigger question of why are we turning into a police state. Let's start with the TSA. How many passengers have I seen interviewed on TV who all share the notion that "If it makes us safer then I think it is a good idea. I just want to get to my destination in one piece. " Let me ask you this – who has the greatest interest in safe and secure airplanes? The TSA only had a 2-year contract before the airlines could opt out.
If you believe that the Federal Government has the greatest interest in a secure plane, or that we should employ a more intrusive "papers please" approach or the Israeli model of rapid fire interrogations, let me ask you a few questions.

Net neutrality. Good or Evil: Have We Shared Too Much With Facebook, Google, and Apple? (Infographic) FCC Commissioner Blasts “Bloated Profits” of Verizon/Google Internet Plan. FCC Commissioner Michael Copps just announced that the public shouldn’t stand for deals “that exchange Internet freedom for bloated profits. And he forcefully mocked the tiered-data plans of the “Verizon-Google gaggle,” accusing them of wanting “gated communities for the affluent.”
Instead of letting Verizon create a ghetto of reduced-quality internet service, the commissioner warns the audience against proposals that would “vastly diminish” the internet’s importance, blasting “special interests and gatekeepers and toll-booth collectors who will short-circuit what this great new technology can do for our country.” He concludes by acknowledging that “you can’t blame companies for seeking to protect their own interests. But you can blame policy-makers if we let them get away with it!” " 0Share NewShare. Unclick Google. On March 11, Google revealed its latest plan to violate your privacy: they will now record the types of websites you visit in order to gather a behavioral profile of your interests purportedly so that they can send you targeted advertising. This policy is in addition to their current policy of keeping a record of every single web search you have ever made along with as much other personally identifying information as they can gather.
Of course, these behavioral profiles and detailed search histories will also be made available to law enforcement personnel upon request. The disregard for user privacy is a long standing tradition at Google and one that should be challenged. Just as Facebook was recently forced to cave after protests, Google too can be made to backtrack from their creeping violations of our privacy. As every internet user knows, the web is inundated with advertising. Because Google ads are targeted, certain advertisers are willing to pay top dollar for clicks. The Open Internet: A Case for Net Neutrality. The Coming Barbarism. Mmm … consumerism. I couldn’t help but imagine dipping a giant-sized iced donut in a pot of boiling coffee and have it gently melt away in my mouth, warm sugar dripping from my lips and running down my chin, bear claws and fritters, jellies and … Then someone tapped me on the shoulder and I was shaken from the comforts of my fantasy.
“Is that seat free?” “Ah yes, it’s all yours” He was a pensive Danish gentleman, anxious to get to Brazil where his pregnant wife was set to deliver within the next 24 hours.
