Berkeley -  One of the most significant collections of Japanese art in North America pays its first visit to the Bay Area.
 
The major fall exhibition at the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive features Flowers of the Four Seasons: Ten Centuries of Art from the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture. The exhibition opens on August 25 and runs through December 12.
 
The exhibition is accompanied by public programs, including a lecture on August 26 at 7:00 pm, by British scholar Timon Screech- Collecting and Viewing in the Edo Period: Some Thoughts on the Ownership and Display of Paintings -and a series of four performance-based events presented in conjunction with BAM/PFA's after hours program L@TE: Friday Nights @ BAM/PFA, programmed by Tomo Yasuda, a Bay Area-based Japanese-American electronic musician.

The Berkeley Art Museum displays over 110 works of art from the Clark Center of Hanford, California. The exhibition reflects the broad collecting interests of the Center's founder Willard G. Clark. His passion for Japanese art and culture has resulted in a collection ranging from the late Heian period (794-1185) to the twenty-first century, including all major areas of artistic endeavor-screens, scrolls, wood sculptures, textiles, ceramics, and works of bamboo.

From 2002 to 2003 highlights from the collection traveled to five cities in Japan, including Tokyo and Osaka, where they were admired by thousands of visitors. Given the Center's relative remoteness, too few in the United States have had a chance to view this important collection.
 
The Berkeley Art Museum exhibition changes this by presenting to the public the most significant pieces from each of the key areas of the collection.

Flowers of the Four Seasons: Ten Centuries of Art from the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture is organized jointly by the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive and the Clark Center for Japanese Art and Culture and is co-curated by Julia M. White, senior curator for Asian Art at BAM/PFA and Andreas Marks, Clark Center director.

We Are One
Tullian Tchividjian
When we separate people according to something as trivial as musical preferences, we evidence a fundamental failure to comprehend the heart of the gospel. We're not only feeding toxic tribalism; we're also saying the gospel can't successfully bring different groups together.

Am I a Dispensationalist?
Matt Waymeyer
As the pastor of a Bible-believing church, I'm often asked whether or not I am a dispensationalist. I hesitate to say yes because of several beliefs that are often associated with the system, beliefs which I reject. The greater concern is with the biblical covenants, how and when they will be fulfilled.

Why Aren't 'Emerging Adults' Emerging as Adults?
Albert Mohler
Consider this: In 1960, the vast majority of young adults had, by the time they reached 30, accomplished five standard milestones used to measure adult status. In 2000, less than half of women and less than a third of men had reached them.

FLPC shares to rise 2034% on astounding vanadium discovery?

President Obama's
$6 Billion "Fix"
Could Send This
50-Cent Stock All
the Way to $14!

The battle over offshore drilling is just the first shot in an all-out push for "green energy!"
Obama has just pledged an additional $6 billion to accelerate the development of "car battery technology."
Here's why this still-undiscovered exploration company, First Liberty Power (FLPC.OB) is perfectly positioned to reap explosive growth as the direct result of the Gulf oil tragedy:
 

Dear Investor:

The battle lines are drawn.

President Obama wants a moratorium on all deep water drilling. A Federal Judge has ruled against him. The White House is appealing.

Whether President Obama and the environmentalists win this round or not, the writing is on the wall. President Obama has vowed to. . . "aggressively accelerate" the transition to alternative energy!

In fact, in late June, in direct response to the oil spill, the Obama administration asked Congress for an additional $6 billion specifically to accelerate the acceptance of cars powered by lithium-ion battery technology.

Regardless of how you feel about the BP mess and off-shore drilling, the tragic oil spill represents a giant step forward for lithium. It's a game-changer that could have a huge impact on the stock of a still-undiscovered lithium exploration company, First Liberty Power Corp (FLPC.OB). In fact, thanks in no small part to Obama's $6 billion fix, the oil spill presents you with an opportunity that could. . .

Turn a $10,000 Investment into a $270,000 Nest Egg

. . .as the 50-cent stock of this little-known exploration company runs up to $14!

The Gulf oil spill is a huge blow to the oil industry. It's going to spawn a new wave of environmental restrictions that will make it even more difficult for America to tap its biggest potential off-shore oil reserves.

It's also a giant step forward for the "greenies." More road blocks on the path to more oil add new urgency to the need to develop a realistic, practical and economically viable replacement for oil.

The tremendous political pressure created by the non-stop negative publicity over the Gulf oil spill will force Congress to approve the President's $6 billion request. And it's critical to understand that, as reported in THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, that $6 billion is reserved specifically for the "development of car-battery technology." We're talking about lithium-ion batteries, and that means a huge increase in the demand for lithium.

Lithium is the Fuel of the Future!

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for "green energy." But, realistically, what are cars, trucks and busses going to run on if not gasoline derived from crude oil?

Not ethanol, and not hydrogen, we've pretty much proven that for sure. Maybe some day natural gas if T. Boone Pickens has his way. But in the meantime. . .right now. . .there's only one totally non-polluting, economically-viable, realistic, ready-now power source for cars.

You can run down to your local FORD dealer tomorrow and buy a car now that doesn't depend upon gasoline for its primary power. And soon, major auto makers from Lexus to GM will be selling cars that don't even have fuel tanks!

It's a fact, the replacement for the gasoline engine is the new generation of powerful, fast-charging, long-lasting, lithium-ion batteries that are debuting now around the world in environmentally friendly hybrid cars. Lithium is already the "fuel of the future!"

And it's also a fact that the added attention being focused now on alternative energies as a result of the sad and unfortunate Gulf oil spill is going to send some lithium stocks soaring.

My name is Eric Dickson and I've been an investment professional for years and, I'm the publisher of Eric Dickson's Breakaway Stocks. I specialize in finding over-looked companies perched on the edge of explosive profits.

A quick example: when I first recommended Human Genome Science, the investment community hardly gave it the time of day. But I recognized its role in the "big picture," as a company with a strong business plan, with steady growth in sales and profits.

While Wall Street was ignoring the stock, those wise enough to act on my recommended saw the stock explode by 292% in just 7 days!

Now, I'm convinced that the stock of another totally ignored company, First Liberty Power (FLPC) is poised for even bigger gains. With a 12,800 acre, lithium-rich claim in Nevada's Clayton Valley, it's only a matter of time until the stock of this still-undiscovered exploration company takes its place in the incredible list of recent lithium winners:

Lithium One Inc. – 1,745% gain in less than 8 months
Rodinia Minerals – 1,500% gain in less than 8 months
Canada Lithium Corp. – 888% gain in less than 8 months
American Lithium – 864% gain in just over 6 months
Rockwood Holdings – 696% gain in less than 9 months
China BAK Battery – 508% gain in 8 months

These enormous profits are the result of the shift from fossil fuels to electric battery power that is about to go into hyper-drive as a result of the Gulf oil spill!

If you didn't get in on the initial run up of these previous lithium superstars, don't worry. Still-undiscovered First Liberty Power Corp (FLPC) could be the next new lithium stock to post gains of 888%.. . .1,500%. . .perhaps even 1,745% or more as the alternative energy traders on Wall Street uncover its unique story.

First Liberty is the Only Triple Play
of the Post-Petroleum World!

The lithium story and Obama's $6 billion booster shot are solid enough reasons to invest now in First Liberty, but, as you'll see when you click on the link below, there's a great deal more to this story. In addition to lithium, the management team at First Liberty has been early to recognize the huge potential (and limited domestic production) of another green-era mineral, vanadium. This little-publicized mineral is going to play a critical role in the development of solar and wind technology.

Plus the company has strategically positioned itself to cash in on the coming resurgence of nuclear power by locking up some 66 Uranium-Vanadium claims in the Uravan Mineral Belt area of the Colorado Plateau district, the absolute ground zero of America's richest uranium finds.

I'll give you all the details when you click on the link below. But don't wait even a second to know the complete story. Right now First Liberty (FLPC) is trading at a ridiculous 50-cents a share. It's only a matter of time until the Wall Street crowd recognizes this stock as the next huge profit maker in a long string of already red-hot lithium winners. You could see this stock vault its way higher in daily incriminates of a dollar or more a day.

In fact, my top-end target for this stock is somewhere around $14, enough gain to turn $10,000 into $270,000 if you act now while you can still get FLPC at around 50-cents a share!

Don't wait, click here for the complete story. No sign up needed. You'll get instant access to the research and background that tells me this 50-cent stock could be headed for $14.00!
