Chinese edition of the Organ Donors! Street Anatomy - yes, that's right, no date...anyone?

David Foox, designer of the popular Organ Donor dolls has given Street Anatomy an exclusive first look at the Chinese edition of the Organ Donors! Foox created these designer vinyl toys in order to bring awareness to the issue of organ donation. We here at Street Anatomy are lucky enough to own several Organ Donors and are quite excited for this new release.

Organ Donors Chinese Edition by David Foox

ORGAN DONORS Chinese Edition - in celebration of Chinese Independence Day.

Above is a pre-production snapshot of the new ONE HEART. The final production vinyl (RARE) will have slightly darker reds and the dragon will be metallic gold. This rare version is called ONEHEART and replaces LIONHEART from the US Edition of ORGAN DONORS. There is another super rare vinyl code-named “1949-2009 Forever” (the real name is not being released yet). Sorry no pictures just yet either.

The exhibition will take place in Beijing during the end of September and beginning October 2009. David Foox has worked closely with a crack team out of China with the design stages for both “ONEHEART” and “1949-2009 Forever.” It seems obvious that these pieces were influenced by the creation of the Peoples Republic of China in 1949. So here we are launching them on the 60th Anniversary of the event. The location that was chosen is called 798Space which is located in the Dashanzi district of Beijing.

798Space rocks for a number of reasons but mostly because:

  • Dashanzi is located in the heart of the art district in Beijing
  • The gallery is an old factory warehouse designed in typical Bauhaus style during the very first “5 Year Plan” and still contains the original Maoist slogans painted on the roof and in throughout the building (see photos here). The history here is undeniable and perfect for ONEHEART and the launch of ORGAN DONORS Chinese Edition
  • Mr. Mao’s granddaughter has an art gallery inside the building…now do you believe in fate?

The Chinese Red Cross is very keen to work with David Foox during the launch in China. Also, the “Jet Lee Foundation” works very closely with the Chinese Red Cross and are looking into ways that they may be able to promote the launch of ORGAN DONORS. Their main interest is to raise the awareness of organ transplant and donation. Currently China undertakes around 10,000 organ transplants per year (about the same as the USA), but considering the differences in population sizes China is way behind. This may be due to lack of knowledge on the importance of organ donation or social stigma attached to donation, but we hope that by working together we can make a genuine difference and change any preconceived notions! Although not connected to either the “Red Cross” or “Jet Lee Foundation” we are also working with the “Jackie Chan Foundation” to raise the same awareness in Hong Kong.  To clarify, the “Chinese Red Cross” and “Jet Lee Foundation” will be concentrating on Beijing and mainland China while the Jackie Chan Foundation will hit up Hong Kong!

The PCNE TV channel will interview David Foox on the “Weekend” magazine, which is aimed at young professionals. The program runs weekly and covers all things fashion, art and news - and now ORGAN DONORS!

Existing Footage Gets a Hollywood Makeover

WASHINGTON (July 17) - NASA could put a man on the moon but didn't have the sense to keep the original video of the live TV transmission.
In an embarrassing acknowledgment, the space agency said Thursday that it must have erased the Apollo 11 moon footage years ago so that it could reuse the videotape.
Skip over this content
Embedded video from CNN Video
But now Hollywood is coming to the rescue.
The studio wizards who restored "Casablanca" are digitally sharpening and cleaning up the ghostly, grainy footage of the moon landing, making it even better than what TV viewers saw on July 20, 1969. They are doing it by working from four copies that NASA scrounged from around the world.
"There's nothing being created; there's nothing being manufactured," said NASA senior engineer Dick Nafzger, who is in charge of the project. "You can now see the detail that's coming out."
The first batch of restored footage was released just in time for the 40th anniversary of the "one giant leap for mankind," and some of the details seem new because of their sharpness. Originally, astronaut Neil Armstrong's face visor was too fuzzy to be seen clearly. The upgraded video of Earth's first moonwalker shows the visor and a reflection in it.
The $230,000 refurbishing effort is only three weeks into a monthslong project, and only 40 percent of the work has been done. But it does show improvements in four snippets: Armstrong walking down the ladder; Buzz Aldrin following him; the two astronauts reading a plaque they left on the moon; and the planting of the flag on the lunar surface.
Nafzger said a huge search that began three years ago for the old moon tapes led to the "inescapable conclusion" that 45 tapes of Apollo 11 video were erased and reused. His report on that will come out in a few weeks.
The original videos beamed to Earth were stored on giant reels of tape that each contained 15 minutes of video, along with other data from the moon. In the 1970s and '80s, NASA had a shortage of the tapes, so it erased about 200,000 of them and reused them.
How did NASA end up looking like a bumbling husband taping over his wedding video with the Super Bowl?
Nafzger, who was in charge of the live TV recordings back in the Apollo years, said they were mostly thought of as data tapes. It wasn't his job to preserve history, he said, just to make sure the footage worked. In retrospect, he said he wished NASA hadn't reused the tapes.
Outside historians were aghast.
"It's surprising to me that NASA didn't have the common sense to save perhaps the most important historical footage of the 20th century," said Rice University historian and author Douglas Brinkley. He noted that NASA saved all sorts of data and artifacts from Apollo 11, and it is "mind-boggling that the tapes just disappeared."

The remastered copies may look good, but "when dealing with historical film footage, you always want the original to study," Brinkley said.
Smithsonian Institution space curator Roger Launius, a former NASA chief historian, said the loss of the original video "doesn't surprise me that much."
"It was a mistake, no doubt about that," Launius said. "This is a problem inside the entire federal government. ... They don't think that preservation is all that important."
Launius said federal warehouses where historical artifacts are saved are "kind of like the last scene of `Raiders of the Lost Ark.' It just goes away in this place with other big boxes."
The company that restored all the Indiana Jones movies, including "Raiders," is the one bailing out NASA.
Lowry Digital of Burbank, Calif., noted that "Casablanca" had a pixel count 10 times higher than the moon video, meaning the Apollo 11 footage was fuzzier than that vintage movie and more of a challenge in one sense.
Of all the video the company has dealt with, "this is by far and away the lowest quality," said Lowry president Mike Inchalik.
Nafzger praised Lowry for restoring "crispness" to the Apollo video. Historian Launius wasn't as blown away.
"It's certainly a little better than the original," Launius said. "It's not a lot better."
The Apollo 11 video remains in black and white. Inchalik said he would never consider colorizing it, as has been done to black-and-white classic films. And the moon is mostly gray anyway.
The restoration used four video sources: CBS News originals; kinescopes from the National Archives; a video from Australia that received the transmission of the original moon video; and camera shots of a TV monitor.
Both Nafzger and Inchalik acknowledged that digitally remastering the video could further encourage conspiracy theorists who believe NASA faked the entire moon landing on a Hollywood set. But they said they enhanced the video as conservatively as possible.

Besides, Inchalik said that if there had been a conspiracy to fake a moon landing, NASA surely would have created higher-quality film.
Back in 1969, nearly 40 percent of the picture quality was lost converting from one video format used on the moon — called slow scan — to something that could be played on TVs on Earth, Nafzger said.
NASA did not lose other Apollo missions' videos because they weren't stored on the type of tape that needed to be reused, Nafzger said.
As part of the moon landing's 40th anniversary, the space agency has been trotting out archival material. NASA has a Web site with audio from private conversations in the lunar module and command capsule. The agency is also webcasting radio from Apollo 11 as if the mission were taking place today.
The video restoration project did not involve improving the sound. Inchalik said he listened to Armstrong's famous first words from the surface of the moon, trying to hear if he said "one small step for man" or "one small step for A man," but couldn't tell.
Through a letter read at a news conference Thursday, Armstrong had the last word about the video from the moon: "I was just amazed that there was any picture at all."

Lady Liberty Decapitated on Video

NEW YORK (July 9) -- A stolen Statue of Liberty replica has resurfaced in a disturbing video posted on YouTube that shows someone decapitating the blindfolded lady and smashing her head into pieces.
The 200-pound replica was stolen less than a month ago from Vox Pop, a coffee shop in Brooklyn.
Skip over this content
Warning: This video contains images that may be disturbing to some viewers.
Skip over this content
"It's very disturbing," shop operator Debi Ryan told CNN, adding the video struck a chord similar to that of terrorist assassination videos. "I don't know what it means. ... I don't know who would do this."
The YouTube video begins with a waving American flag, and then shows a gloved hand sawing off the head of the statue before crushing it. The slogans "We don't want your freedom" and "Death to America" flash across the screen during the one-minute video, which is dated July Fourth.
It was anonymously e-mailed to the Daily News and Ryan earlier this week.
Ryan said she's sure the statue in the video is the one stolen from her cafe.
"She's unique. I know my girl," she said of the statue. "We just had her completely refurbished, outfitted with a solar torch and painted."
Authorities told CNN they are handling the case as a larceny rather than separately investigating the YouTube video.
"We want to verify who sent the e-mail with the video and see if they're responsible," police said.
A sign on the store, located in Ditmas Park, reads, "Books, Coffee, Democracy," near where the 8-foot replica of Lady Liberty used to stand outside. The self-described community coffee shop is also a bookstore and a spot for artists and performers.

"We've created a space here that's owned by the community," Ryan said. "We're all about freedom of speech and freedom to be who you are and say whatever you think."
But Ryan doesn't consider the YouTube video featuring her stolen statue appropriate free speech.
"Vox Pop stands for freedom of speech. You don't get to steal somebody else's property to send that message. We have to respect each other," she said.
Although the coffee shop recently faced economic problems and neighborhood tension, the motive behind the statue's theft remains unknown. As for whether there will be a replacement statue, Ryan said, "I'm hoping. I think she belongs here.
But she added, "Whether we have a physical statue or not, what she stands for remains here."

Let Them Eat Tweets

twitterPhotograph by Kevin Van Aelst

Twitter — the microblogging service that lets you post and read fragmentary communications at high speed — is fun, but it’s embarrassing. You subscribe to the yawps of a bunch of people; they subscribe to your yawps; and you produce and consume yawps for the rest of your days. The me-me-me clamor brings to mind Emily Dickinson’s poem about the disgrace of fame, “I’m Nobody! Who are you?”: “How public — like a Frog — / To tell one’s name — the livelong June — / To an admiring Bog!”

Now that I inhabit the Twitter bog, though, I don’t complain. Twitter can be entertaining, and useful — and, really, who doesn’t like the illusion, from time to time, of lots of company? I have only lately begun to wonder whether I’d use Twitter if I were fully at liberty to do what I liked. In other words, I’m not sure I’d use Twitter if I were rich. Swampy, boggy, inescapable connectivity: it seems my middle-class existence has stuck me here.

These worries started to surface for me last month, when Bruce Sterling, the cyberpunk writer, proposed at the South by Southwest tech conference in Austin that the clearest symbol of poverty is dependence on “connections” like the Internet, Skype and texting. “Poor folk love their cellphones!” he said.

In his speech, Sterling seemed to affect Nietzschean disdain for regular people. If the goal was to provoke, it worked. To a crowd that typically prefers onward-and-upward news about technology, Sterling’s was a sadistically successful rhetorical strategy. “Poor folk love their cellphones!” had the ring of one of those haughty but unforgettable expressions of condescension, like the Middle Eastern gem “The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.”

“Connectivity is poverty” was how a friend of mine summarized Sterling’s bold theme. Only the poor — defined broadly as those without better options — are obsessed with their connections. Anyone with a strong soul or a fat wallet turns his ringer off for good and cultivates private gardens that keep the hectic Web far away. The man of leisure, Sterling suggested, savors solitude, or intimacy with friends, presumably surrounded by books and film and paintings and wine and vinyl — original things that stay where they are and cannot be copied and corrupted and shot around the globe with a few clicks of a keyboard.

Nice, right? The implications of Sterling’s idea are painful for Twitter types. The connections that feel like wealth to many of us — call us the impoverished, we who treasure our smartphones and tally our Facebook friends — are in fact meager, more meager even than inflated dollars. What’s worse, these connections are liabilities that we pretend are assets. We live on the Web in these hideous conditions of overcrowding only because — it suddenly seems so obvious — we can’t afford privacy. And then, lest we confront our horror, we call this cramped ghetto our happy home!

Explaining ‘The Way It Was’ to the YouTube Generation
By Brian Stelter

Sean McManus, the president of CBS News, learned of Walter Cronkite’s death while he was at the dinner table on Friday evening, sharing a meal with his two children, ages 8 and 10.

After taking the phone call, he tried to explain to his children — who have grown up bombarded with news and information — the value of Mr. Cronkite’s once-a-day news updates.

“There probably will never be anybody who has the presence and the stature and the importance that Walter Cronkite had in this country,” Mr. McManus said in a telephone interview, recalling what he told his children.

“I tried to explain to them that most people in America expected to get both good and bad news from one man, and that was Walter Cronkite,” he said. “That will never be duplicated again,” because of the fragmentation of the media.

Mr. McManus sensed that his children had a hard time comprehending what he meant.

“It’s really hard,” he acknowledged, “to remember just how influential and important he was.” He cited Mr. Cronkite’s famous declaration that the Vietnam war would end in a stalemate.

Viewers and Web readers now, he said, “are so used to being assaulted by so many streams of media that it’s hard for them to imagine that there were only three or four ways to get news and information on TV.”

On an evening when Mr. Cronkite was on the minds of the television industry, Mr. McManus sounded a sad note about the splintered media environment. TV executives are always looking for the next Cronkite, he said, “but I don’t think anybody will be in that position of prominence again.”

CBS News still operates out of the same building on West 57th Street in Manhattan where Mr. Cronkite anchored the “CBS Evening News.”

While he had not visited recently, Mr. McManus said, “his presence really is palpable in the halls of CBS News.” On Friday evening, the news division felt numb, even though Mr. Cronkite was known to be in ill health for some time.

A little more than a year ago, Mr. Cronkite paid a surprise visit to the news headquarters. Even the interns who weren’t yet born when Mr. Cronkite was anchor were “literally looking up to him,” Mr. McManus said.

“When he walked in the newsroom, it was like Thomas Jefferson walking into a history class at a university,” he said.

Time and date will align early Wednesday in an order that may indicate it's a good day to make money and spend it wisely.

About an hour and 45 minutes before sunrise, the time and date will be 4 a.m. and 5 minutes and 6 seconds on July 8, 2009.

In other words, or numbers, it will be 04:05:06 07/08/09.

Although the alignment may not mean anything specific, it could be a good day to do something for yourself and others, said Betsy Carlson, a Palm Springs tarot card reader and numerology expert.

"It's a good day to make money and have good health," she said.

The sum of the time's digits equals six, if all numbers are added until there's a single figure left (4+5+6=15; 1+5=6).

Also, the numbers within the date add up to eight.

According to numerology, No. 6 represents providing a good service to humanity, while No. 8 represents making money and being healthy, Carlson said.

Joy Meredith, owner of Crystal Fantasy in Palm Springs, Calif., noticed the alignment, but she's more focused on this morning's lunar eclipse, she said.

Nonetheless, she's a fan of numerology and sometimes tries to determine if numbers have meaning.

"I feel they could be significant, so I'm looking for that," she said. "If they're not, they're not. But I am looking to see if there is any significance."

A woman who said evangelist Tony Alamo had sexually abused her since she was 8 acknowledged to jurors Friday that she hates him, but said the reason she agreed to testify was because she is afraid he will molest her little sister.

Under cross-examination in Alamo's sex-crimes trial, the 18-year-old woman also said that FBI agents had given her some gifts and paid her cell phone bill before she appeared in court as a witness.

The woman, who testified that Alamo "married" her when she was 8 and that he started having sex with her a year later, acknowledged Friday that she hated Alamo and wanted him convicted.

"You want your revenge, don't you?" asked defense lawyer Phillip Kuhn.

"No, I just don't want him to hurt anybody else," the woman said, beginning to cry. "I don't want him to touch my little sister. She's only 12."

She said she contacted the FBI after hearing from others that her younger sister's voice might be on an audiotape distributed to Alamo's followers.

"He hurt me a lot and I would hate to see my sister or anybody else go through that again," she said.

Alamo, 74, is accused of taking underage girls across state lines for sex. Prosecutors are expected to present their final witnesses Monday and turn the trial over to the evangelist's defense team.

The evangelist has pleaded not guilty and his lawyers claim the government has targeted him because of his religious beliefs. Alamo, who has said the Vatican is behind his troubles, could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted.

A series of women have testified that Alamo "married" them while they were underage and that he either raped them or sexually assaulted them. The Associated Press generally does not identify those who say they were victims of sex crimes.

On Friday, a 17-year-old girl told jurors Alamo invited her and her sister to his home at the Arkansas compound when she was as young as 8. By 9, she said she visited regularly. By 11, she said Alamo "married" her in his bedroom and immediately began sexually assaulting her.

"He said things like I looked very innocent to him," the girl said, her face and voice betraying no emotion. "And he said I had the body of a 6-year-old and he was attracted to" that.

The 17-year-old girl said she traveled with Alamo and a group of others to the ministry's compound near Los Angeles. She described him taking her into his back bedroom on his tour bus, locking the door and having sex with her as the sounds of the road and others on the bus masked the noise.

She left the ministry once with her mother, but returned at Alamo's urging to his California compound. The sex continued, but the girl said she began looking for ways to avoid him.

"I was terrified of Tony," she said. "I didn't want to spend time with him."

Alamo fell asleep twice during the girl's testimony. Kuhn prodded Alamo awake the second time.

The defense team has largely avoid direct confrontations with the witnesses, choosing instead to question their memories and whether their stories were rehearsed.

While cross-examining the woman who had been the 8-year-old "bride," Kuhn asked why, if Alamo had taken explicit photos of the girl around the time of their marriage _ as she testified a day earlier _ no child pornography was found during last year's raid on Alamo's compound.

The woman said Alamo was "paranoid" and often sliced up such pictures into tiny pieces.

"We had to vacuum the floor for all the little pieces he missed," she said.

She also said that FBI agents and prosecutors had given her gifts since she stepped forward: an $80 Wal-Mart gift card, balloons and flowers on her birthday and a Valentine's Day-themed blanket when she was having a rough time. The FBI also provided her with a cell phone so they could keep in touch with her.

She also acknowledged that she was in a counseling center that caters to former cult members at the same time as two other prosecution witnesses. She also said the group had dinner with FBI agents recently but were told not to discuss their stories.

If convicted, Alamo faces 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each of the 10 counts against him. He is being held without bond.
