Obama Takes Office: From Making History to Effective Administration in a Time of Crisis Speakers: Jeffrey D. Straussman, Dean of Rockefeller College of Public Affairs & Policy, University at Albany; Theodore R. Marmor, Adjunct Professor of Public Policy, Harvard Kennedy School; Alan Altshuler, Ruth and Frank Stanton Professor of Urban Policy and Planning, Harvard Kennedy School President-elect Barack Obama created history by being elected the first African-American President of the United States of America. In his acceptance speech he declared that change has come to America and also acknowledged the difficult times facing the country. Set to assume office in less than a week, the incoming administration is concretizing its plans for change and preparing to address the ongoing financial crisis as well as many other challenges and constraints that face him in a range of areas. In so doing, Obama will have to cope with the double edged sword of unusually high expectations of both Americans and people worldwide. What strategies will Obama need to adopt to use presidential power effectively in this time of significant turmoil? How will he prioritize among competing issues calling out for his administrations attention? And how he will proceed to keep a workable political coalition intact while making difficult choices that will alienate some supporters? The three panelists, all distinguished senior ***ysts of executive power and American public policy, will discuss the challenges of Barack Obamas transition and will also respond to questions from the audience.

ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE 1-15-2010 Phenomena of the 6 pointed star around the recent solar eclipse. The appearance of the six points imposed around the sun while the moon eclipses the sun. This is known as Sacred Geometry. Also the shape of the ascension merkabah. I had to edit this video because I was not seeing the sixth point as so many have pointed out. Anodea Judith "The six-pointed star, made of two interlacing equilateral triangles, is the central image within the lotus of the heart chakra. The appearance of this symbol within the astrological configuration of January 23, 1997 may have much significance in terms of socio-cultural planetary changes occurring at this time. The following is a further explanation of the chakras, their evolutionary significance, and the meaning of the heart chakra in particular. The ancient system of seven energy centers located within the body, called CHAKRAS, describes a comprehensive metaphysical system that encompasses varying levels of consciousness, human behavior, colors, sounds, vibrational qualities, and the progression of socio-cultural evolution. The seven chakras form a continuum from matter to consciousness, earth to heaven, and body to mind that connects our mundane physical selves to our higher nature, without negating either. Each step upward includes and builds upon the level below it. Each step downward is an act of creation, concretizing our ideas on the physical plane. The chakras are further associated with elements which symbolize their basic ...

- End Of The Illusion - SPIRITUAL AWAKENING - Get Ready For Changes Time has come for me to voice once again that which I have been seeing and experiencing for many years. As we are becoming more and more aware of the emergence of a paradigm that many believe has never been yet which is re-emerging, I am asking you to begin to re -- member the reasons you made a choice to incarnate in this time, in this space, in this dimension rather than the limitless other frequencies you could have chosen. "In this remembrance, you will claim witness to the appearance in earth of the Angelic Human, yourself, who originally created self as a Guardian of this transmutational age in Planet Earth. And I stress transmutational rather than tranformational. This is a time of change from one state into another rather than a simple change within the same state of being. The Angelic Humans are one aspect of that transmutation. If you are reading this message, be assured, you are an Angelic Human -- one who knows itself as Source in physical form embodying a message that only he or she is able to bring to the earth in this time/space construct. "While this may sound utterly fantastic to some, to those who experience it, my awareness comes as an enormous sense of relief when they are able to express how they see life on this planet from their frame of reference. It is no longer the time to remain silent. Now is your time to be, speak and act. As you announce your contribution into the hologram of the emerging paradigm, the transmutation accelerates concretizing ...

"herStay's "_INvisible _planet" a solo that lies between the expressiveness of butoh, and Robert Wilson's minimalistic visual concretizing" -Danjel Andersson, DN, Stockholm Costumes, music editing, video directing, choreography, dance and stage design: Monica Emilie Herstad ********* She remain honest to her her psychophysical initiatives What the audience say about herStay: "Vital monotony" [Anders Øhrn], "Ambient dance", "New performance", "Dance of energies" Quoting the American art ***ysts Leah Garland: "It is a meditation upon and a form of self-interview on how the body reacts to the stress of a high frequency urban life. Within the structure of the live sound and the pre-selected film backdrop, she slightly changes her choreography each night, sometimes more frenetic and others more scilent. But each night, she graces the stage with a quivering body as she explores a fresh disconnection between the isolated limbs and her whole organizm. A forearm may flick itself into space several times as with no thought behind its decision as if it were unaware of its attachment to the rest of the body, as if it could make that decision on its own, movement without agency. Monica Emilie Herstad, whose education is based in classical and modern dance in Oslo and Paris, and butoh in danceperformances by Min Tanaka in Tokyo, explains that she allows her body to ...
