Get your free audiobook at: http://audible.com/escapepodsff Senator Wu accepted Twing s seed out of courtesy, although she had no intention of conceiving his child. Twing of Sails had thrown this party in his house in her honour, but he wasn t as free with kilojoules as he was with genetic material, and Senator Wu wasn t prepared to funnel the heat donations of her two crèche mates to bring another man s child to the World. She acidified the pores in her tentacle and waved it around, letting the current carry away the dead spores. She smiled at Twing and a wave of blue burst from his centre and radiated towards the thin membranes that rippled on the edge of his disc-shaped body. He didn t look bad, but he wasn t as comely as Senator Wu. Her body was an almost perfect sphere, and she was well aware of it. Wherever she went, she took care to rotate every few minutes, lest gravity pull on her too long in any one direction and tug her gelatinous figure out of shape. Rated PG.

Friday's Poem: : "From the Garden" by Anne Sexton from The Complete Poems. Friday's Literary Notes: It's the 30th birthday of the world's first baby conceived by in vitro fertilization, Louise Brown, born in Oldham, England (1978). Her parents had been trying to conceive for nine years. A doctor told Lesley Brown, the future mother of Louise, that she had a blocked fallopian tube and referred her to Dr. Patrick Steptoe, who had been conducting research on fertilization for many years. The Browns decided that they would have Dr. Steptoe harvest an egg from Lesley's ovary, which would then be fertilized with her husband's sperm in a laboratory. Dr. Edwards would perform this fertilization in vitro (from Latin, literally "in glass" coined in reference to the test tube in which experiments were performed). A few days later, Dr. Steptoe would transfer the newly formed embryo back into the uterus of Lesley Brown... ]]>

From : Omni Art Salon 21st Century Art Podcast
Jeffrey has a fascinating conversation with Aaron Stern, Founder, Executive Director and Core Faculty of the Academy For the Love of Learning in Santa Fe. As designer of the core curriculum at the Academy, Aaron is also a composer, performer, educator and former dean of the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago. Aaron consults with educational, arts, spiritual and social-change organizations and communities, around the world and is also trained and certified as a transpersonal therapist. A brainchild of a special relationship that Aaron had with the late musical genius Leonard Bernstein, the Academy for the Love of Learning draws on a wide, multidisciplinary spectrum of resources: educational philosophy and practice, the arts, transpersonal studies, contemplative traditions, earth-based wisdom, body-centered practices, psychotherapy, organizational consulting, and the wisdom distilled from personal experience. The scholar in residence at the Academy is American priest and theological exponent of Creation Spirituality Matthew Fox. Creation Spirituality is a movement grounded in the mystical philosophies of medieval visionaries Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas Aquinas, Meister Eckhart and Nicholas of Cusa. Author of twenty-eight books on philosophy, religion, and spirituality, Matthew Fox’s most recent book, The A.W.E. Project: Reinventing Education, Reinventing the Human has led him into an increased engagement with issues impacting the education of children, something very dear to the heart of The Academy and Aaron Sterns vision. In Aaron’s and the Academy’s view, who we are as human beings is indicated by the depth of our openness to life, our engagement with our process of learning, and our self-awareness and capacity to be as fully awake as imaginable with one another. because of this viewpoint, the Academy is strongly experiential and calls forth a high degree of self-reflection, both individual and collective. This ground of deepening self-awareness provides the stability and freedom from which right action can grow. I think you will find my conversation with Aaron warm, stimulating and uplifting because he is dedicated to living a life focused on the highest aspects of the human experience and bringing out the best in others so that they too can really enjoy the love of learning that is the deepest of human birthright’s.

Have you ever played this game with your friends? Think of the name of your first pet you had when you were a kid and the street you lived on, combine those two and you get your Adult Movie Star Name. Mine would be Jimmy Barbe Still this formula leaves a lot to be desired. How about we come up with a new one! Here is a helpful list of combinations you can make to come up with your Adult Movie Star, stage name, faerie name or drag name in a cinch. • Favorite Snack + Conservative Politician = Snickers Nixon • Innocent Girls Name + Movie Stars last name = Victoria Lamarr • 50 s TV Sitcom Character + Greek/Roman God = Tony Zeus • Civil Rights Activist + Jungle Cat = Cindy Cheetah • Car Model + Type of Wood = Mercedes Mahogany • Suburb in your city + Artificial Food Ingredient = Waukeegan Olestra Okay, so they are not all winners. Still, this way you can be pretty clever when you re creating an online profile and don t want people to know what your real name is. Wouldn t it be fun to be chatting with Skittles Liddy on the forums? Keep in mind alliteration (Fausto Fernós, Vernonica Vera or Jessie Jackson) are great names because you get the bonus of having some cool initials like F.F. Rhymes, or name combinations or puns are great too. Share with us your favorite formulas for names and your results on the comments below. Join Amanda Steinstein, Marc Felion and me, Fausto Fernós as we give honest advice to our hetero female fans who are dying to ignite their love life but find themselves spending a LOT of time with gay men.

From : TPN :: GDay World
Today s show is a continuation of the examination I ve been doing around the relationship and practices of Gloria Jean s Coffee, Hillsong Church and Mercy Ministries. Today s guest is a former resident of Mercy Ministries in the United States. She spent 7 months inside Mercy about 8 years ago and is still today too frightened of them to use her real name, so she is using the alias Vickie Lucas . Vickie tells me about how she entered Mercy trying to find help for her bulimia nervosa condition but instead of psychological and clinical treatment, she was subjected to exorcisms, neglect and emotional abuse. She talks about how she was chastised in public by Mercy founder Nancy Alcorn, who claims to be a lifelong celibate, for getting her haircut - apparently according to Mercy that s a clear sign she is possessed by demons making her into a lesbian. The quotes contained in this show by Nancy Alcorn and Peter Irvine are taken from this video by The Cynic Sage.

From : podictionary - for word lovers - daily stories, trivia & dictionary etymology
Today s podictionary word brought to you by GoToMeeting. Try it free for 30 days by following the link www.gotomeeting.com/podcast I sometimes say that a common human experience breeds a word that is common across cultures and changes little over time. There isn t much in the world that s more common to human experience than having a mother, nor anything that means quite as much to most people.  So it should come as no surprise that this word has come down to us almost unchanged for as far back as we can see into the history of words. And also that it is one of the words that spans the entire width and breadth of Indo-European languages. Evidently we only started writing the TH in mother back in the early 1500s but may have been pronouncing it that way for some time beforehand. The Indo-European root was mater. Not too different for five to seven thousand years. Also, languages from Latin to Gaelic, and Greek to Russian share this maternal legacy. This is a word we not only all have in common, it is also a word we all use with great regularity.  Words like that just can t change because there are too many people around who know the word and will correct you if you start to pronounce it wrong or use it with a meaning that is just too far from their understanding of what it should mean. So again it is no surprise that we didn t get mother from Latin or French, but from the oldest Old English. I mentioned Sir Robert Cotton yesterday in my episode on the word mildew at the Oxford University Press blog.  While the meaning of mildew has changed a lot, the word mother has its first citation in the same document set I mentioned yesterday from Sir Robert s library. The Cotton Library is an important resource for people studying Old English. Unfortunately back in 1731almost a quarter of the ancient collection went up in smoke.  The documents had been brought together around the time of Shakespeare by Sir Robert Cotton and then had been moved in the early 1700s to the ironically named Ashburnham House. The librarian was understandably an enthusiast when it came to ancient documents and he had quite a pile of them in his own house nearby when tragedy struck.  In the dead of night his house burned down and destroyed numerous irreplaceable old manuscripts. An eyewitness—the headmaster of the school where this all took place—reported the panic stricken librarian stumbling out through the smoke in his nightshirt with bundles of old documents tucked under his arms. ]]>

From : Pseudopod
By Howard Phillips Lovecraft Read by BJ Harrison I have examined maps of the city with the greatest care, yet have never again found the Rue d’Auseil. These maps have not been modern maps alone, for I know that names change. I have, on the contrary, delved deeply into all the antiquities of the place, and have personally explored every region, of whatever name, which could possibly answer to the street I knew as the Rue d’Auseil. But despite all I have done, it remains an humiliating fact that I cannot find the house, the street, or even the locality, where, during the last months of my impoverished life as a student of metaphysics at the university, I heard the music of Erich Zann.

From : FORA.tv - Daily Video FORAcast
Complete video at: http://fora.tv/2008/06/18/Chinas_Olympic_Human_Rights_Challenges Human Rights Watch Media Director Minky Worden discusses whether recent international attention due to environmental disasters, economic growth, and the 2008 Olympics has affected China's positions on human rights. ----- As human rights emerge as a central concern around the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China's Great Leap: The Beijing Games and Olympian Human Rights Challenges examines China in transition today. When Beijing first sought to host the Olympics, China was still recovering from the upheavals of Maoist rule and adapting to a market revolution. How are China’s leaders managing the Olympic process and the internal and external pressures for reform the Games are creating? China's Great Leap illuminates China's recent history through voices of leading China experts, and points to key areas for future reform. Join the book's editor, Minky Worden, and contributing writers Scott Greathead and Emily Parker for an evening of discussion, moderated by Jamie Metzl, Executive Vice President of the Asia Society - Asia Society As Media Director of Human Rights Watch, Minky Worden works with the world's journalists to help them cover crises, wars, human rights abuses and political developments in more than 70 countries worldwide.Before joining Human Rights Watch in 1998, Ms. Worden lived and worked in Hong Kong as an adviser to democratic party chairman Martin Lee and worked at the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. as a speechwriter for the U.S. attorney general and in the executive office for US attorneys. A member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Ms. Worden speaks Cantonese and German and is an elected member of the Overseas Press Club's board of governors.
