The Gospels say little about the business of crucifixion. "And they crucified him" is all St. Mark offers (15:24), with no word of how it was done or how the cross tortured its victim.
The early Christians offered little more when they recited the Creed: "He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, suffered, died and was buried."
The Crucifixion comes at the climax of the Christian drama. Yet tradition records the matter as little more than a fact. "They crucified him." "He was crucified." History provides no coroner's report, no painstaking medical reconstruction.
Perhaps our first Christian ancestors could not bear to say any more. They had seen men crucified. They could walk to the outskirts of town if they wanted to count the cost — in blood and pain and humiliation — of their salvation.
Unlike Christians through most of history, we today have not grown up with the experience of public executions and public torture. Still, like the family of any murder victim, we feel the need to know the truth about our Savior and brother — not least because we believe He died for our sake.
Over the past 20 years, a friend of mine, Pittsburgh surgeon Jack McKeating, has applied his professional skills to this problem — reviewing the historical and archaeological evidence in light of recent medical research. Some years back, I interviewed him on the subject for Our Sunday Visitor newspaper.
"Any serious Christian has to take an active interest in the passion of Jesus Christ," McKeating told me. "Unfortunately, we're often too dispassionate about it. We tend to think of it in unreal terms, as an abstraction. But it involved a real person who underwent an absolutely brutal experience out of love for me."
McKeating traces his interest to the late 1980s, when he was away from home on a fellowship in surgical oncology.
"I was in a Bible study with three other surgeons," he recalled, "a fundamentalist, a Methodist, a Baptist and me." One morning, one of his colleagues brought "On the Physical Death of Jesus Christ," a 1986 study from the Journal of the American Medical Association.
That study gathered the descriptions of crucifixion from ancient sources. It analyzed the skeletal remains of crucified men, and it considered all the data in light of current medical research.
The JAMA study led McKeating to the classic text in the field, A Doctor at Calvary, an exhaustive account written by French Catholic surgeon Pierre Barbet. Barbet completed his book in 1949 after decades of research.
McKeating praises both studies for their scholarship and their unflinching care.
"Anyone who studies the matter has to start with these sources," he said. "But keep in mind that it is a start. As we advance in medicine, we are able to learn still more about our Lord's passion."
How did crucifixion usually happen? Applying their medical knowledge to the historical data, doctors such as McKeating, Barbet and the JAMA team have attempted to reconstruct the events.
The ancient Romans had a special genius for torture. It helped them keep order in a vast empire. The public spectacle of extreme suffering — repeated with some regularity — served as a deterrent to would-be rebels and insurgents.
Crucifixion was the utmost refinement of the Roman art of torture. The Jewish historian Josephus called it "the most wretched of deaths." It was designed to cause the most pain in the most parts of the body over the longest period of time.
Crucifixion was humiliating, too, so it was usually reserved for slaves, lower-class criminals or those whose crimes were especially heinous. The stripped man was exposed, naked, to a boorish crowd that delighted in such spectacles. They cast stones at him, spat at him, jeered at him.
The end began when executioners extended the condemned man's arms and bound them to a wooden beam. Sometimes, they would also drive nails through the man's wrists at the highly sensitive median nerve. The executioner relied on the element of surprise for the first hammer blow. The victim was unlikely ever to have experienced such pain before. It was "the most unbearable pain that a man can experience," Barbet concluded.
Nailing the second arm, however, could pose a problem, because the nervous system would instinctively recoil from any repetition of that pain. The executioner would need to struggle against an arm rigidly resistant to his efforts. All of this wrangling, involuntary on the part of the victim, would intensify the pain in the arm already nailed.
The beam then was attached to a pole. Every shift of the beam renewed the pain in the median nerve. But all of that was just a prelude to the real torture of crucifixion.
The victim found himself suspended above the ground, his body slumped forward, his knees bent and his feet positioned as if he were standing on tiptoe. That position made it almost impossible for him to draw a breath.
"Crucifixion stretches the chest cavity open," McKeating explained, "and the weight of the body pulls down on the diaphragm so the lungs are kept open. It requires great effort to breathe in and even greater effort to exhale — which is normally a fairly passive process."
The victim could not breathe inward or outward without lifting his body up by the nails in his wrists and pushing up on the nail in his feet. With every breath, then, he felt the coarse metal tearing at his nerves.
Gradually, his limbs cramped and weakened. As he was less able to lift himself up, he began, slowly, to suffocate.
A victim of crucifixion alternated between the panicked sense of asphyxiation and the searing pain of the nails in his flesh. Relief from one inevitably brought about the other.
In a strong man, this could go on for many hours, even days. If the Romans wanted to accelerate the process, they would break the victim's legs so he could no longer push himself upward to take a breath.
"Jesus was probably a strong man," McKeating said. "He was relatively young, He worked hard, and He tended to travel by foot. But by the time He reached Calvary, He had undergone many hours of preliminary tortures that alone might have killed him."
In the Garden of Gethsemane, "His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground" (Lk 22:44). The JAMA article, following Barbet, attributes this to a phenomenon called hematidrosis or hemohidrosis — hemorrhaging into the sweat glands. This is a rare condition that occurs in people at the extremes of human emotion. It leaves the skin very tender and highly sensitive to pain.
Jesus would have keenly felt every blow as His captors "mocked him and beat him" (Lk 22:63). The beatings continued through long hours in which He was also forced to walk from one interrogation to another — before the Sanhedrin, before Pilate, before Herod and again before Pilate. The JAMA research concludes that He walked two-and-a-half miles during that sleepless night.
Pilate ordered Jesus to be flogged, and Roman flogging alone could kill a man. A typical whip of cords was studded with metal, sharp animal bones or shards of pottery. It was designed to bruise and tear the skin. Often, a man was whipped by two torturers, one on each side, while he was bound to a post or pillar. It was here that Jesus probably suffered His greatest blood loss.
His back, torn open by the Romans, then had to bear the rough wood of the crossbeam, which probably weighed 75 to 125 pounds. He had to carry the burden along an uneven roadway from Pilate's praetorium to the hill of Calvary, a third of a mile. Surely, He fell often.
"Some people say that Jesus' suffering was somehow easier because he was God," McKeating said. "But that's not so. Many theologians believe He suffered in a greater way because He had perfect knowledge of what was happening. Also, His senses would have been more acute and more sensitive to pain because they were not at all dulled, as ours are, by sin and self-indulgence."
What killed Jesus?
"I think it's multifactorial," McKeating said. "I think the proximate cause of death was probably suffocation — asphyxia. But I think the end came relatively swiftly — just three long hours — because our Lord was probably in shock before He was actually crucified.
"After the exposure, the emotional duress, the severe beating and then the scourging, He was probably in Class 3 shock, out of a possible 4."
A great physiologist once described shock as the rude unhinging of the cellular machinery of our bodies.
"The technical definition," said McKeating, "is that it's inadequate perfusion of blood to the tissues of our body.
Our bodies normally have five liters of blood. McKeating said that "in a typical Roman scourging, a man would have lost a liter and a half."
Shock would have weakened Him and left Him anxious and confused, hastening the end.
The Gospels suggest other factors, McKeating said. "After Jesus died, the soldier's lance thrust brought forth blood and water (Jn 19:34). Where did the water come from? Probably pericardial effusion. Fluid would have built up from internal injuries, pulmonary contusions, bruises, beatings, and it would have filled His chest cavity or the sac around His heart. Every time the heart would beat, then, it couldn't expand the way it needed to, and it couldn't fill up. Eventually, it would stop."
Forensic scientists say that the better we know what killed someone, the more likely we are to find out who killed him.
Who killed Jesus? After a decade-and-a-half of study, McKeating doesn't hesitate to respond.
"I did," he said. "My sins did."

Senior forward Pete Caringi III (Perry Hall, Md./Calvert Hall) started his season with a bang and netted national recognition from the NSCAA, the America East Conference, Top Drawer Soccer and College Soccer News.
Caringi was named the NCAA Division I Men's Disney Soccer/NSCAA Player of the Week for games ending Sept. 1. He also earned Player of the Week honors from the America East Conference and was selected to Teams of the Week in both Top Drawer Soccer and College Soccer News.
Caringi earned three Player of the Week awards from the America East Conference in 2012.
The 2012 America East Striker of the Year scored two goals each in 3-1 victories over Seattle U. and UNLV in 3-1 Retriever victories and was named Most Valuable Player in the tournament. His two first half goals vs. Seattle (10', 25') staked UMBC to a 2-0 lead. With Sunday's game knotted at 1-1 at the break, he tallied 22 seconds into the second half and added an insurance goal on a PK in the 67' to ice the triumph.
Caringi recorded his fifth and sixth career multiple-goal efforts in back-to-back contests. He now has 28 career goals and needs one more to move into a tie for tenth place on the school's all-time goals list.

GOP Sen. DeMint to resign, run Heritage Foundation
Republican Sen. Jim DeMint, an influential conservative leader, said Thursday he is resigning next month to join the Heritage Foundation as its president.
"It's been an honor to serve the people of South Carolina in the United States Senate for the past eight years, but now it's time for me to pass the torch to someone else and take on a new role in the fight for America's future," DeMint said in a statement.
DeMint, a hero to the small-government, anti-tax Tea Party movement, was often at odds with the Republican Party establishment on budget issues. Through the Senate Conservatives Fund, his political action committee, DeMint has financially supported the candidacies of conservatives such as Pennsylvania's Pat Toomey, Florida's Marco Rubio and Sen.-elect Ted Cruz of Texas.
DeMint's departure scrambles the political landscape in South Carolina. Gov. Nikki Haley, a Republican, will appoint a replacement, who will serve until a special election can be held in 2014. DeMint's term expires in 2016.
In his statement, the founder of the Senate's Tea Party Caucus said he is joining the think tank because "the conservative movement needs strong leadership in the battle of ideas."
"My constituents know that being a senator was never going to be my career," DeMint said. "I came to Congress as a citizen legislator and I've always been determined to leave it as a citizen legislator."
David Woodard, a Clemson University professor who co-wrote a book with DeMint in 2007, said he believes DeMint had grown tired of serving in the Senate minority. The GOP's failure to gain the majority in 2012 likely fueled DeMint's exit, Woodard added.
"I am absolutely not surprised one bit that this happened," said Woodard, recalling a conversation with DeMint years ago in which the lawmaker said he would consider leaving the Senate to work for a place like the Heritage Foundation.
DeMint "could be like (former South Carolina GOP Sen.) Strom Thurmond. He could stay there as long as he wanted to stay. But he really wants to do policy and he thinks the Heritage Foundation is the place to do that," Woodard said.
Sen. Toomey, who was elected in the Tea Party's 2010 wave, said DeMint's departure is "a tremendous loss for the U.S. Senate and for the conservative movement," but that the South Carolina Republican would "continue to play an important role in the ongoing public debate about the future of this country."
South Carolina is deeply red, and was already going to host key political races to watch in 2014. Haley and senior Sen. Lindsey Graham are both up for re-election in 2014. Both are vulnerable to primary challenges: Haley's approval rating was 38% in a recent Greenville Times poll and Graham has been criticized by some Republicans for some of his votes, including his support of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor.
"It puts everything in real turmoil," Woodard said about DeMint's exit. "Now chaos reigns."
The Palmetto State has a deep bench of Republicans, and the congressional delegation includes GOP Reps. Mick Mulvaney, Trey Gowdy and Tim Scott -- who are all widely viewed as potential contenders for higher office. Scott, who is African American, had been eyeing a run for governor and his name has come up frequently in news accounts as a possible DeMint replacement.
Other potential contenders include state Sen. Tom Davis, who served as chief of staff to former governor Mark Sanford, as well as state Treasurer Curtis Loftis.
At the Heritage Foundation, DeMint will succeed Ed Feulner, who has been tied to the think tank since it opened its doors in 1973. DeMint will manage a staff of 250 with an annual budget of more than $80 million.
Feulner, who his leaving in April, was paid just over $1 million in 2010, according to the Heritage Foundation's tax documents.

Known to be one of the best places to live for students and with a 12% rise of students every year, Australia has about 525,000 international students. You will be surprised to notice how many Asians live in the country. As a way of life, the Australian outlook is to embrace the 'new' than to stick to the old expectations and habits. This is the biggest plus any country can have.
For most international students, part-time student jobs in Australia cover partially for their living cost with a law of working 20 hours a week. For job opportunities after graduation, one may apply for an 18-month extension before the work visa arrives. But it is important to look at the new Australian work laws for international workers.
One needs to have at least AUD 1500 to survive per month which is a little less than the big cities of the US but the amount changes depending to which city you live in. Let us inform you that Australia is not a cheap country.

Married choreographers blend classic, urban forms at somebodies dance theater
Married choreographers Gina Bolles Sorensen and Kyle Sorensen describe their latest collaboration, "A Spit of Wax," as a dance work about endings, beginnings and burning the candle at both ends.
That's an apt metaphor for the busy and ever-evolving lives of the couple, who codirect somebodies dance theater. The 5-year-old modern dance company will present "A Spit of Wax" this week as part of the Live Arts Fest in Point Loma, and again later this month at SDSU.
Since moving the company to San Diego from Kyle's native Oregon, they've quickly made their mark on San Diego's dance scene. They won the 2012 San Diego Young Choreographers Prize, and this year Gina is a finalist for a National Artist Teacher Fellowship.
"A Spit of Wax" is a 45-minute piece for five dancers that they began developing last summer and presented as a work in progress at Space 4 Art in December. Since then, the piece has evolved dramatically, with just 10 percent to 15 percent of its original choreography intact. Set to an original score of avant-garde electronic/acoustic music by Sam Goodman, it explores movement through echoed motions and cycles. Kyle and Gina perform in the piece with dancers Desiree Cuizon, Anne Gehman and Maria Juan.
Kyle said the title refers to a candle's final gasp.
"When a candle burns down, there's just this last tiny spit of wax before it dies," he said. "This dance takes place in the moments preceding a life-changing event, a final chapter, a death. It's about the human response to change, resilience and transition."
Gina said wax is also a reference to the old-fashioned recording of music on wax cylinders, where a memory can be frozen and replayed over and over again.
"It's about cycles and memory, endings and survival, and our urge to come together as groups and be immortal," Gina said. "Death is a cycle, but it's not all heavy. There's a spectrum of experience that ranges from profound to silly. Through the course of a full evening, we want to take the audience on a journey."
Meeting of minds, bodies
Born and raised in the Bonita area, Gina left San Diego at 18 to study mass communications at UCLA. To pursue her MFA in dance, she headed to the University of Oregon, where she met Kyle, a fellow grad student. Their mutual attraction was both romantic and artistic. By the end of 2008, they formed their dance partnership, somebodies dance theater.
The lowercase name, Gina said, was "something democratic and open. It could be anybody's dance company."
Kyle said the name was also inspired by a discussion about their very different techniques. "She was doing a lot of work in the Horton technique that was hard on my body. Gina said 'it's better on some bodies than other bodies,' and the name just sort of stuck."
The adage that opposites attract was true for the couple, who come from different backgrounds.
"I have more ballet, classical and modern dance training. Kyle comes from hip-hop and jazz," Gina said. "We both have quite a background in tap, so rhythm plays a large part in the way we're attracted to moving. There's an interesting fusion of my classical forms of dance and the physically athletic, urban way of moving that Kyle brings to the table."
After graduating, Gina moved back to San Diego in 2008. Kyle followed a year later and they married.
Although Gina grew up in the local dance community, she said much had changed in the 10 years she was away in college. The recession was hard on local dance companies, many troupes were homeless and new players had emerged.
"It was like I had to get to know the dance scene all over again," she said. "Everyone was really welcoming, though."
Gina said they made fast friends in the dance, teaching and yoga communities as they looked for ways to pay their bills.
"Like many artists, Kyle and I have a good dozen part-time jobs that make up our work, so we've got our feet in a lot of different communities," Gina said. "He was in a dance theater MFA program and I was in schools, teaching yoga."
Carving a niche
Kyle said he and Gina have worked hard to give their company a distinctive stamp.
"There are choreographers interested in creating work that interests other dancers and choreographers. And then there are people interested in developing the audiences outside of dance and bringing in new audiences. We're firmly in the middle," he said.
"We want to create stuff that doesn't pander to either group. We don't want to leave out dancers but we don't want to leave out the audience, either. Dance has an incredible power to move anybody. If we can build audiences and help them understand and appreciate the power of dance, they will share it with people they know."
When they're not applying for grants and fellowships, the couple are making long-range plans for the company's permanent future in San Diego.
"It's really heartbreaking to see artists that develop and receive the riches of San Diego's teaching but not enough opportunities here to dance, so they end up leaving for L.A., San Francisco or New York," Kyle said. "We want to do our best to be able to stay here, and develop a strong dance scene that allows for young people coming up to have a place to show their work and, ideally, receive money to be able to support living here."
A long-term goal for somebodies is a permanent space.
"If we're really dreaming big, we'd love to have a live/work space which we could convert for teaching classes and informal performances," Gina said. "We love being here in San Diego. We get a lot out of being a part of the community in professional and social ways, and every time we perform somewhere else in the country we proudly announce that we're from San Diego."

Published at Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019 - 15:04:41 PM. Storage Cabinet. By Tiffanie Perrier.
Metal storage cabinets are in heavy demands these days, so you should confirm whether they are able to deliver your cabinets in the quickest time possible or not. Otherwise, you may waste your time and energy to follow them. For our convenience, cabinet manufacturers offer metal cabinets unassembled and fully welded. As compared to assembled cabinets, fully welded cabinets are preferred for a few reasons, like no need to assemble them and they are comparatively more long lasting.
Stainless steel storage cabinets are corrosion-resistant, acid-resistant, will not rust and will take the everyday abuse in any home or even industrial environment. These units can be found in medical, pharmaceutical, automotive, electronics, textile, breweries, marine facilities, restaurants, etc.

Financial action plan for expats when moving abroad
Big changes in your personal circumstances generally have financial implications, and moving abroad is no different.
The number of British people moving abroad is rising, official figures show, with about one in 10 British people living overseas.
So, if you are joining this group, there are a number of financial issues to deal with and opportunities to take.
First steps
Ideally, you would have a good deal of notice - six months if possible - ahead of any move. This would give you the time you need to organise carefully.
Paying off debts in the UK before you move is a good idea as it makes managing your finances less complicated and reduces the risk that currency fluctuations will increase the cost of these debts.
Of course this is likely not to be possible in the case of a mortgage, so it is a good idea to pay off credit card debts and personal loans.
It is also generally worth keeping your UK current account, but let your bank know you will be emigrating and ask for a letter of reference, which will often help you rent a property in your new country of residence.
Current accounts
Before you go, spend a little time researching international bank accounts as these generally let you bank in different currencies. This can be useful if you have on-going financial commitments in the UK such as a mortgage, bills to pay, or a child at university.
International current accounts also help if you continue to have an income in Britain, such as a pension. They mean you can run two current accounts side by side, one in euros for example and one in pounds sterling, transferring money between the two for no fee.
Setting up an international account before departure means that you will be able to access your money as soon as you land at your destination. It also means that should you choose to move on again, you will not need to spend time closing one account and re-opening in your new country - your money is easily accessible wherever you go.
You can hold an international account alongside your existing domestic bank account.
Becoming resident in one country while still having financial commitments in another can cause complications to your tax status. It is surprisingly common for people to end up paying tax twice for a period of time, once in the UK and once in their new country of residence.
To avoid this problem, the UK has "double tax agreements" with a large number of countries that show which jurisdiction has the taxing rights on a particular profit or source of income. Double tax agreements exist for many of the most popular places to emigrate to such as Australia, Canada, France, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and the United States.
However, there are other popular destinations for expats which have more complicated tax arrangements with the UK. For example Antigua, Jersey and Guernsey are particularly challenging when it comes to investments. In France and Germany the tax systems are very comprehensive, but it does mean that navigating the treaty with the UK can be tricky. The United Arab Emirates, along with many other Middle East states, does not impose personal income tax.
One option is to arrange your liabilities simply so that they are as hassle free as possible. Contact your bank to ensure they are aware you are not living in the UK, and consult a qualified tax adviser or accountant who is experienced in expat tax matters.
One thing you should always bear in mind when heading overseas is the effect currency fluctuations will have on your money. For example, a few years ago there were many older expats living in eurozone countries such as Spain and France who were reliant on a relatively small UK pension income. When the pound weakened dramatically against the euro, by about 30% in a little over a year, many found it difficult to make ends meet.
The pound is currently still at a relative, historic low against the euro and US dollar, but this certainly does not mean it cannot fall further. Conversely, if the pound strengthens it will make transferring money to the UK, to pay your mortgage for example, more expensive.
Naturally, expats can benefit from currency fluctuations too, but the key point is that they present a risk to your spending power. This risk can be reduced by shifting your money, into the currency that you are most likely to need it in for the long-term.
If you know you will be moving back to the UK in a year's time, it might be advisable to leave a good chunk of it in sterling. If you plan to move to another country permanently and have paid off all your sterling liabilities, then consider moving your money in its entirety into your new local currency.
Of course, this approach only reduces currency risk. It does not necessarily mean that you will end up better off as people can benefit from currency fluctuations too.
Savings and investments
There is a wide range of savings accounts available in most expat destinations, as well as an array of international savings accounts that you can hold in most jurisdictions.
The benefits of using the latter are that you can conduct your banking relationship in English no matter where you are and you might feel your money is more secure with an international bank if there are particular problems with the economy of your country of residence.
One of the many reasons people move overseas is for the job prospects, and it is often the case that expats amass wealth faster than those living back in the UK. If you have moved overseas, you may want to grow any new-found wealth with investments as well.
The good news is that there is a greater range of investment opportunities internationally than in the UK. Investing offshore when you move abroad means that you can choose a bank that conducts its business in English, avoiding any language barriers you might face with an overseas provider.
If investing offshore, your investment approach should be no different to that of a UK-based investor, meaning your portfolio should reflect your risk appetite and be well-diversified. However, as taking out any investments will bring tax liabilities you should always take investment advice from a financial adviser who specialises in expat investments.

"We were not that organized in the way we were managing our customers. Now, with Sage CRM and Sage 300, we can track customer details throughout, from sales to supply chain"
Ajay Shroff, Managing Director, Pratham Filters
"We were not that organized in the way we were managing our customers. Now, with Sage CRM and Sage 300, we can track customer details throughout, from sales to supply chain"
Ajay Shroff, Managing Director, Pratham Filters
A leading manufacturer and supplier of liquid and air filtration systems, Pratham Filters has built a foundation for future growth by switching to Sage products that allow the business to track and monitor every customer journey, from sales pipeline to order and delivery.
Outgrowing accountancy software
Headquartered in Mumbai with four offices around India, Pratham Filters employs 40 people and is growing fast. The firm had run its business with an accountancy package that was solely focused on the financials and struggled to keep pace with an increasingly complex supply chain. With over 100 customers and hundreds of prospects, the firm wanted to revisit its business management systems and put in place a solution that would provide a single repository for all customer information, from sales pipeline to order processing, inventory, financials and supply chain.
Transition and training
Pratham Filters carefully researched the market and looked at a number of high profile business solutions before choosing Sage. Whatever it chose had to fulfill multiple criteria including compliance with Indian Tax and Statutory requirements. The decision was taken to go with Sage 300 and Sage CRM. The two packages are integrated out of the box, providing the single data repository that the firm needed to bring disparate parts of the business together.
Sage CRM was deployed after Sage 300, on site in Mumbai with around 20 licenses for employees in sales and customer facing roles. It was a big change for everyone but thanks to Sage training and the enthusiasm of employees, the new solution was soon reaping rewards. "There is always an initial challenge with new software as you get used to it, but after that, Sage has been very easy to understand. We have got to the point where we can quickly train up new employees," said Ajay Shroff.
Bringing it all together
For a supplier and manufacturer with business processes that extend from sales to supply chain delivery – with ordering and inventory management in the middle – the Sage products are a perfect fit. "From lead to prospect to offer and conversion, and then into accounting and finalization, everything is in Sage," explained Managing Director Ajay Shroff. "We have a lot of shipments and transactions which I can now see straight away – from when the order was lodged to when it will be delivered. The previous accounting system could never give me that." Sage CRM allows the firm to segregate leads – cold, lost, in progress – and plan a targeted approach to convert prospects and close deals faster. It also gives the company better reports that help with forecasting sales on a regional basis. "It's made a big difference," said Ajay Shroff. "I don't know how we would keep on working without Sage."

Historic Hong Kong neighborhood fights to preserve its past
By Casey Tolan, for CNN • Updated 19th August 2014
View Gallery
15 Pictures
In a city that changes as fast as the weather, it can be easy to overlook Hong Kong's past.
But on a winding street in Wan Chai, one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, a house painted brilliant blue stands out.
The "Blue House," a Chinese tenement building from the 1920s, is at the heart of a cluster of historic buildings that paint a picture of old Hong Kong.
Home to the Hong Kong House of Stories, an eclectic museum and community center that offers tours of historic sites in the area, the building provides an important glimpse into the neighborhood's rich history.
A block away, 50-story highrises loom and preservationists worry about the impact of gentrification on the neighborhood's character.
"We want local people to tell local stories," says Maria Kwok, a volunteer tour guide who has lived in Wan Chai for almost three decades.
"If you come back in a few years, this neighborhood may have completely changed."
The Blue House itself, which packed working class families into tiny rooms after it was built in the 1920s, is the first stop on the heritage tour.
Tenement houses like these were once common in the neighborhood and the city.
Now, along with two other tenements next door, the Blue House is one of the few remaining.

Temples, post offices
In the surrounding blocks, other old buildings, like a tiny 1847 temple and a prim 1915 post office, are slipped between apartment towers.
Of note is Pak Tai Temple, a Taoist temple built in 1863 and an oasis of incense-scented calm.
The House of Stories also offers a nighttime "haunted tour" that shares "spooky tales" of the neighborhood's most eerie sites.
One Square Meter takes a look at how an old industrial neighborhood in Hong Kong is finding new life.
The Japanese bombing and occupation of Hong Kong during World War II fuel stories of ghosts in Wan Chai.
CNN's Kristie Lu Stout reports on Hong Kong's iconic neon signage, which could soon be a thing of the past.
"People come for the fun but they also learn about the history," Kwok says.
CNN's Kristie Lu Stout discusses whether Hong Kong is really in decline.
The two or two-and-a-half-hour tours, all led by community locals, cost HK$60 ($7.75) per person, with private group tours for a minimum of HK$600 ($77).
Visitors should schedule tours in advance over phone or email (see below).
Nonprofit and school groups receive reduced rates.
The House of Stories also organizes concerts, movie nights and art workshops on Thursday nights.
People regularly wander into its welcoming, living room-esque space, which is full of old knickknacks and historic books donated by neighbors who've moved out.

Renovation and preservation
Upstairs, the Blue House is in the middle of a government-supported renovation to preserve its architecture and improve living conditions for residents, some of whom lack air conditioning and even toilets in their century-old flats.
While there are other historic renovation projects underway around the city, the Blue House effort is unique in that original residents will stay in their homes, says Mirana Szeto, a Hong Kong University professor who consulted on the project.
"We're not preserving an old house and its original culture, we're preserving a living community," Szeto says.
Renovation plans were drawn up in consultation with locals.
After construction is complete in 2017, the House of Stories will be joined by two new restaurants in the Blue House.
Until then, there are plenty of good dining options in the surrounding blocks.

Dining change
The Pawn, a restaurant and bar housed in an 1888 pawn shop building, has an outside terrace and roof seating. (The Pawn is currently closed for renovation, but scheduled to reopen in October with a menu from British celebrity chef Tom Aikens.)
Tai Lung Fung, a bar that opened three years ago in a former car repair shop across the street from the Blue House, has a long list of cocktails and excellent shrimp paste chicken wings (HK$55/$7).
Its neon-lit vibe is straight out of '70s Hong Kong TV dramas, and its walls are adorned with classic movie posters.
"Old things are being destroyed," says Sam Leung, the bar's owner. "I wanted to protect and keep the memory."
Some complain that new bars and higher rents are threatening mom-and-pop noodle joints and tea shops, where locals enjoy cold milk tea (dong nai cha).
"The whole area is changing. It doesn't match with the local residents," Kwok says. "For us locals, they're making things more expensive."
A cheap option is an evening of snacks and beers on the sidewalk in front of the Blue House, a nighttime hangout for the community.
The rattle of games of mahjong regularly mix with laughter echoing down the street.
Leung Ping Wa, who has lived in the Blue House and its adjoining tenements for 18 years, says he has seen big changes in the area: lots of new faces and new highrise buildings.
But the changes he notices are also cultural.
"In the past, more people used to come out and eat and talk to each other like this," he says. "Now, most people go home and close their doors."

Comedian Charlie Hill, who grew up in Oneida and became a groundbreaking influence for Native American comedians and other Native Americans in the entertainment industry, died Monday. He was 62.
Hill attended the University of Wisconsin before moving to California to pursue show business. He made his debut on "The Richard Pryor Show" in 1977 and went on to become the first Native American comedian to be on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson."
He was a regular at the famed Comedy Store in Los Angeles and forged friendships that led to appearances on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," and "Late Show with David Letterman" throughout his career. He also wrote for the TV sitcom "Roseanne."
Hill had been battling lymphoma, according to Indian Country Today. News of his death sparked condolences and tributes on Twitter:
Funeral arrangements for Hill are pending with Ryan Funeral Home & Crematory in De Pere.
HILL, Charlie
Born: 7/6/1951, Oneida, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
Died: 13/30/2013, Oneida, Wisconsin, U.S.A.

Writer-director Woody Allen wastes no time in showing his hand, having "When You Wish Upon a Star" playing over the opening credits for "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger." And lest you have any lingering doubts about Allen's thoughts on wishing, they are laid to rest when the narrator in the first minutes of the film cites Shakespeare's classic line about life "signifying nothing."
The film centers on the unhappy marriages of Roy and Sally (Josh Brolin and Naomi Watts), and Sally's parents, Alfie and Helena (Anthony Hopkins and Gemma Jones). And it won't surprise to learn there are plenty more failed relationships on the horizon. There are, of course, countless familiar elements in "Stranger," ranging from Allen's steadfastly bleak view of fidelity to his love of Spanish guitar to a feisty hooker. Fortunately the film doesn't feel as tired and overwrought as some of his other recent work.
Brolin and Watts are terrific apart from one another, but their scenes together lack any sense of rhythm, a fact made all the more unfortunate because it is in their apartment that Allen does some of his camera best work. Helena has a grating penchant for popping in unannounced, and the scenes where she, Sally and Roy dance from room to room sparring are masterfully shot. Allen somehow found a place in the hallway from which he could effortlessly move in and out of every room.
Lucy Punch as Charmaine, Alfie's trophy wife, is perfect. From the down-market accent to the gum-chewing and hair-twisting to the bombshell body, she is the consummate bimbo. Yet she manages to bring enough spark and intelligence (somehow) to the role to make it more than it might be. And Gemma Jones is as annoying as you could hope for as the cuckold who turns to psychics and whiskey to get through her loneliness -- you can understand why Alfie left her, but you still know it was wrong.
Allen has clearly been doing some deep introspection in his old age, and it appears that maybe he regrets some of things he's done or at least how he's done them. He drapes his younger stand-in, Brolin, in drab tans and browns, and his elder stand-in, Hopkins in an array of beiges -- he's clearly fading. And when the men lunge greedily for what they want, they each come up empty-handed.
"You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" is interesting and smart, and has some thoughtful things to say about desire and longing, but it's not quite deep, funny or profound enough to really grab you. Allen's seems to have recaptured his sense of narrative, however the wit isn't quite as sharp as it once was.

This is a long post, in part because I do not have time to write a short one. It is a response to a 1993 Harvard Law Review essay by Cheryl L. Harris arguing for the notion of whiteness as property. I not only critique that claim, doing so gives me an opportunity to demonstrate the?problems with?the?treatment of "race" by the critical race theory/intersectionalism/identity/diversity streams of thought that the essay is an example of.
Normally, when I discover a Law Review article on a matter I am concerned with, I am pleased. Law Review articles tend to be thorough, strongly evidence-based, with careful interrogation of key concepts, being thus very useful. The?Columbia?Law Review?article "Polygamy, Prostitution and the Federalization of Immigration Law" (pdf) on immigration bars on Chinese entry, for example, epitomises these virtues.

The Bright Sun UV is a revolutionary new UV lamp that offers light, heat and UV in one lamp at low wattagesIMPORTANT! external balast required
Because the external balast life can last many times longer than the bulb good cost savings can be made when it is time to replace the bulb compared to self balasted mercury vapour bulbs.
The Bright Sun is a metal halode lamp and currently resembles the most modern technology for UV lamps. Metal halide lamps need a special ballast for operation but are extremely enery efficient.
The lighting characteristics of metal halides are close to natural sunlight. The Bright Sun offers UV and heat radiation and excels with a high light output which is 5 times higher than self ballasted mercury vapour lamps.
This makes the Bright Sun the first lamp which truly can satisfy all reptile lightings needs in one lamp.
A Bright Sun UV Desert 50W offers comparable UV output to a 100W mercury vapour based UV lamp but its light output is 5 times higher! This is especially important as it was impossible till now to recreate natural lighting conditions inside a terrarium. In nature a light intensity of 100.000 lux and more exists on a sunny day.
Especially with desert species a high light intensity is beneficial for the well-being and will influence activity and colours of the animals. While the Bright Sun UV Desert 70W still cannot match the power of the sun with 60.000 lux at 30 cm, it is far ahead of mercury vapour UV lamps (approx. 10.000 lux), fluorescent lamps and incandescent lamps.
The base for this high light output is the energy efficiency of the lamp. Most of the energy is converted into light while with incandescent lamps 95% of the input power is turned into heat. The low heat loss of the Bright Sun lamps allow the use even in small vivariums. An effective reflector construction ensures that almost all created heat is concentrated inside the light focus. The lamp is therefore able to create warm basking areas.
The spectrum of the lamp is optimized for desert reptiles. Research and tests have shown that reptiles from desert regions prefer a daylight spectrum with a colour temperature of 6000K. This is achieved by the Bright Sun UV Desert. In combination with its heat, UV output and high light intensity the Bright Sun UV is practically a small sun for vivariums.
Average life is 6000h, we recommend changing lamps yearly though to provide always the best lighting possible to the animals as the spectrum will change over time. This is typical for metal halide technology and also dependent on the type of ballast used. Also UV and light output will continually decrease over time.
The Bright Sun will fit into standard E27 porcelain lampholder and requires a ballast like the Lucky Reptile Bright Control devices. We recommend the Lucky Reptile Thermo Socket PRO (click here or click here) with silicone wire as its connector is a simple push fit to the connector on the Bright Control devices creating a Plug and Play solution. Other lampholders may be attached as well allowing to upgrade existing vivarium setups with the Bright Sun technology.
Your Wish List is empty.

Coldplay will headline the Super Bowl 50 halftime show at the 49ers' Levi's Stadium on Feb. 7, 2016.
The NFL made the announcement during the Thursday Night Football during the game between Green Bay and Detroit.
The London-based act, which has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, will release a seventh full-length album, "A Head Full of Dreams," on Friday.
But will there be more performers to come at the Super Bowl?
NFL.com blogger Dan Hanzus, who claimed not to know any of the official details before the announcement, speculated that more headliners will emerge later.
"We can expect multiple performers — and I doubt they mean it in a Katy-Perry-with-cameos-from-Lenny-Kravitz-and-Missy-Elliott kind of way," he wrote, referring to last year's halftime show. "Our guess is there will be multiple standalone A-list acts, covering different generations to honor the Super Bowl's golden anniversary."
According to Associated Press, 118 million viewers watched last year's halftime show, which was headlined by pop star Katy Perry.

With her bright yellow dress, she caught my - and other guys' - eyes right away. She was a good object. Gorgeous legs. Slim body with big tits. High heels. Short, ruffled dress. I followed her for hours. And made two little movies out of the footage for you guys to enjoy. This is the first one. She has a beautiful butt. She is a hot chick to sneak up on. Cum with me!

Yummy 19-Year-Old Vacuuming Her Car At Gas Station While We Get Busted! MOVHD
Such is the risk for us perv voyeurs! We see this cute 19 year-old in a very short skirt vacuuming her car. Her hot butt and sexy panties are showing. We stop and film, but with our regular camera as my miniature spy cam was charging at home. We were concentrating on this beautiful young butt when suddenly a deep voice was asking us what we were filming. I guess the cop enjoyed the view as much as we did. He let us go. Lucky for us that we have tolerant officers in South Florida...

Strong Winds, Young Mom, Short Dress = Upskirt Heaven! MOVHD
I love these young moms walking with strollers. They have to bend down to get the strollers out and back in the trunk of their cars. They have to pick up whatever the baby throws down. They have to bend down to comfort or change the baby. It seems like they are constantly bending down. Which is good for us pervs who like to look up beautiful women's skirts. By the way, I don't think that's pervy. It's just that you and I adore beautiful legs, cute asses, panties and such. Actually, the women should take this as a compliment. We probably spend a lot more time looking at their ass-ets than their husbands do. Oh well. This was in this clip is just amazing. Living at the beach really has its benefits. There's always a breeze. Women like to dress loose. Or sexy. Or both. As little coverage as possible. This young Mom has a little dress that flies up with the lightest of wind. If there's stronger wind like today, her dress flies right up over her waist. And she has the most beautiful long legs ever. And such a cute ass. She's wearing a thong as everybody close by or walking behind her can see. This time my spy cam is mounted on one of these low bikes you can rent. Perfect for filming upskirt. I can get really close and wait behind her pretending to try to pass or turn the bike around. And I have some other tricks up my sleeve to get them to come closer to me and bend down...This is one of the best upskirts I filmed so far.
Upskirt Of My Sexy Neighbor's Girl Friend Arriving By Car _ MOVHD

I break the windshield glass of the truck and place the spy cam inside on its mini-tripod. I see her arriving and drive that truck as close as I can. She gets out. Those legs, guys! For a few seconds you can see her green thong. She walks to my neighbor's door, giving us nice upskirt views of her legs, heavenly ass and panties. My neighbor opens and they talk for a moment. She is also wearing a mini-skirt. As a bonus, I get some nice upskirts of her, too. She looks at the truck, not knowing what to think about it, and points it out to her girl friend. They go inside, with the girl friend giving another curious look at the truck. I bring it home, wondering if the scam worked. Here's the result. Not bad, eh?
Malls are dangerous places for a guy with a spy cam. Some malls use detectors. I usually hang around lingerie stores. Sooner or later a chick with a short skirt or short dress will show up. Like this little Latina. Cute. Nice legs. Innocent, but short dress. Modest heels. She's looking for bras. I'm looking for her panties. If they would only have more seats in these places. This girl is not tall, so it's not easy to get the right angles. Finally, the shoe section. A chair. I sit down. Luckily for me she is interested in shoes. She wears cute panties. Or thongs? Suddenly, I see her smiling at me. Time to go. I meet her again at the sun glass booth where I'm sitting on a bench. Nice. Like she knew what I wanted she bends down to look at sun glasses. Without buying anything. She walks off. I follow her with some distance between us and catch up with her in the food court. She sits at a table. She tries to make a phone call, but it does not work, and she looks upset. I approach her and offer her my phone to use. Reluctantly, she takes it. I knew she would get a little nervous. And you know what women do when they are nervous. They open and cross and uncross their legs. My spy cam is right there, and very close. You will be happy with these shots. Of course my phone also did not get a connection. She leaves. Again I follow her. To the parking lot. I can't pretend that this is all a coincidence. I have to leave her alone. But she is cute!
Dress Caught On Purse - Ass Exposed! - MOVHD
I just love South Beach. It's the prime place for pervs like me – and you! - to get upskirts. Tons of chicks, from to cougars, in very short skirts, sometimes just barely there bikinis, walking Ocean Drive. Chance are, if you are dining at one of the tables on the sidewalk, you will enjoy the meat walking by with exposed asses than you do the meat on your plate. I saw this one walking on the beach in a short dress. When she was close, I let my house keys fall and bent down to pick them up, with my spy camera in the other hand. She walked by so close that I got a great view – and shots – up her skirt. Man, this chick has long, beautiful legs, and a very cute ass. And a tiny white thong. I follow her. She crosses Ocean Drive to look for a restaurant, walking through the crowd. Suddenly, her short dress gets caught on her purse. Her ass is exposed for everybody to see. And can you believe it? Nobody, not even the women who saw her predicament, would say anything! That's South Beach for you. She looks at some of the menu boards, bends down, and of course her panties show. Guys are staring. Women are noticing it. Some laugh. But nobody says a word. She waits to cross the road again. A truck drives by. Her skirt is now flying and I get a good shot of the front of her thong all the way up to her waistline. What a show!
Keep Bending Down For These Shells, Honeyl _ MOVHD
This is more like a family beach. But sometimes you get the single girl who is walking the beach. This Sunday, I spotted one in a relatively short dress. She has nice legs, the dress outlines a sexy ass, so I follow her. She starts to pick up shells from the sand. How nice of her. She is wearing black panties. I can't use any of my little toys in the sand that I usually use with the spy camera mounted on them. I have to get relatively close and keep the spy cam in my hands. She either does not realize that I'm following her, or does not care. She keeps bending down, I keep filming and the perv I am, I get hard. As she is here alone and does not look too happy, maybe she just broke up with her boyfriend and is in need of some TLC? Should I try? Off camera, I strike up a conversation with her. Yup, she is alone. Here on vacation. Just broke up with her boyfriend and he went back while she decided to use up the hotel room that is paid for two weeks. Guys, you may see more of her...
Hot Wife In Hidden Cabin Waiting For Her Lover _ MOVHD
There's this park not far from the beach where one can rent a basic cabin for overnight stays with the family. Or the girlfriend. Or the lover. I go there from time to time as it's a good hunting ground for voyeurism. It's easy to hide, and the couples get so busy so quickly that they don't check around first. This hot, elegant and expensively dressed chick is obviously waiting for her lover. She sits at the wooden outside table, not aware of me and my camera. She sits comfortably, her legs more or less open. It's very hot today. She is airing her pussy. She seems to get a text that does not please her. Did her lover cancel the hot date? He is an idiot if he did. Just look at her. She gets up and goes back in to the cabin. There's a pretty big window. I've done this before. I press the lens against the glass. She loosens the straps of her elegant dress. She does not wear a bra. Her gorgeous tits pop our. She starts playing with them. Now she takes off the dress. Then the panties. She change into other panties. She opens her make-up case and takes out a – dildo! We are in for a show! This lady doesn't waste time. She is tired of waiting for him and she is horny. She plays with the dildo on her pussy before she sticks it inside her. I get some good close-ups. She soon starts moaning. I almost do, too. I'm getting hard. She cums! She is pretty loud. I don't often catch a girl that actually plays with herself or orgasms when I'm on my voyeur shoots. I got a bit too excited. My camera hits the damn glass of the window with a bang. Alarmed, she looks up and starts to cover herself up. Time to go, lady, thanks for the show!

In this day and age, it seems like everyone is trying to add some excitement to their lives. Now that we no longer have animals trying to hunt us and have enough infrastructure that one bad harvest won't wipe us out, we're looking for something to spend our excess energy on. People have taken to jumping off bridges with giant rubber bands, getting charged by bulls and jumping out of the way, or even eating fugu every chance they can.
Some of us less adventurous (and less crazy) folks have other ideas about how to heighten the adrenaline we get out of our hobbies. One of the more superficial ways to do this is to just add the word "extreme" (or, if we are hardcore enough, we might leave out the e and be "x-treme"). It started out with extreme sports. Then it went to x-treme makeovers and weight loss. And now, it has passed on to x-treme couponing. I expect x-treme snail fighting will be coming along some time soon.
While we could put the x-treme in front of astronomy to make it even more exciting, astronomy beat us to it with an "X" of its own: Extrasolar planets (called exoplanets or x-planets for short).
An x-planet is a planet outside our sun system. Once thought to be purely fiction, there are over 860 such identified planets (and by the time you read this, the number will have gone up). The first definitive finding of an x-planet was in April of 1992 in orbit of PSR B1257+12. (Unfortunately there are a lot of stars out there without names and only unwieldy catalog numbers.) The first multiple planetary system was found in 1999, in the Upsilon Andromedae star system — only 44 light years away.
But the search is still on for other habitable planets. Alpha Centauri has a planet the right size, but far too hot. OGLE-2005-BLG-390Lb (try pronouncing it, it's a fun series of sounds) is larger than our planet, but too cold to support life. We have yet to find one that's just right. When we do, it will still be a long drive to check and see if we have some neighbors.
Until then, the best way to experience what an "alien world" might be like is the X-Planet show in the HMNS Burke Baker Planetarium. And what better way to experience it than after-hours with the creators of the show, Dr. Carolyn Sumners and Adam Barnes?
What: Behind-the-Scenes Tour of The X-Planets
When: Thursday, April 18 at 6 p.m.
Who: Dr. Carolyn Sumners and Adam Barnes
How Much: $18
Since its launch in 2009, NASA's planet-hunting Kepler Telescope has uncovered 2,740 new extra-solar planets, also known as exoplanets or X-planets. Now scientists are working to identify gases in the exoplanets' atmospheres that can support life. It is just a matter of time before an "alien Earth " is found. Join Dr. Carolyn Sumners and Adam Barnes of the Museum's astronomy department for a behind-the-scenes look at the science behind X-Planets, the making of the film The X-Planets and a viewing of the film in the Burke Baker Planetarium.

If you're tired of dragging your entire patio set into storage when the warm weather disappears come the fall, you'll love this cleverly engineered piece of furniture that combines a chair, a lounger, and even a table, into a single piece.
Estudio 408's 'M Chair' is assembled from thin slats of lumber connected by long bolts that double as hinges when loosened. So if you're in the mood for really kicking back, all you need is a wrench to adjust the angles and convert it from a chair to a laid-back lounger.
If you need a place to eat lunch or do some work, the 'M Chair' can even transmogrify into a sturdy table. And if you've ever had to wait a day after a rain for your outdoor furniture to dry before using it, you'll be happy to know the chair's slatted design lets water easily drain away. The only thing missing is the chance of this becoming a real product. [Estudio 408 via designboom]

History Carnival CVI (December 2011-January 2012)
Welcome to the 106th Roundup of History Blogging, a double-sized edition. Fortunately, being a blog, we never really run out of space.
First, the two biggest events of the annual calendar happen in January: The American Historical Association Meeting and the Cliopatria Awards. Both, fortunately, have nice, tidy round-up posts I can link to! The Cliopatria awards for 2011 included
- Best Individual Blog: The Chirurgeon's Apprentice
- Best Group Blog: Wonders and Marvels
- Best New Blog: Demography and the Imperial Public Sphere Before Victoria
- Best Post: Karen Abbott's "If There's a Man Among Ye: The Tale of Pirate Queens Anne Bonny and Mary Read," Past Imperfect, 9 August 2011
- Best Series of Posts: Erik Loomis, "This Day in Labor History," Lawyers, Guns & Money.
- Best Writer: Corey Robin
- Best Twitter Feed: @KatrinaGulliver. #Twitterstorian Doyenne
- Best Podcast Episode: Marshall Poe's New Books In History episode from 14 January 2011: "Nell Irvin Painter, The History of White People, W.W. Norton & Company, 2010."
There was a LOT of blogging and tweeting at this year's AHA, much of it centered on the groundbreaking #THATCamp — the first held in conjunction with a national organizational conference — which brought a lot of heavyweight and beginning digital history folks together. There were even some interesting historical papers delivered, I'm told. Check out the collection: it covers just about everything I read on the conference, and then some. Next Year In New Orleans!
A public service announcement: Sharon Howard has updated the Early Modern Commons blog aggregator, http://commons.earlymodernweb.org/, and the general history aggregator, http://thebroadside.org/. If you're not getting enough history in your media diet, this is the one-stop shop. OK, two stop shop.
For the remainder of the carnival, I'm mostly going to be posting titles and what I hope are intriguing quotations: nothing fancy, but there's some really neat stuff here.

I can't see references to one
The transport table is for postfix transports. See postfix manpage for details for what transports are used for.
Well, I know very well that is for postfix and I plan to use one, but when or how ISPConfig uses this table
Postfix uses this table, not ispconfig. ISPConfig offers you to create transports like it offers you to create mailboxes, email domains etc. If you know what transports are, then you should know already what you can do with that table.
Separate names with a comma.

After falling short in their pursuit of Michael Bennett, the Chicago Bears are turning Plan B into Plan A.
NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported minutes into Tuesday's free-agency launch that the Bears and defensive end Lamarr Houston agreed to a five-year, $35 million deal with $15 million in guarantees, according to a source. The organization later confirmed the move.
Houston's arrival also ended the reign of Julius Peppers, who was released Tuesday after four seasons in Chicago.
Houston played at a Pro Bowl level for the Oakland Raiders this past season and gives Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker a moveable chess piece in Chicago's 4-3 scheme. Ranking fifth on Around The League's list of the top 101 free agents, the 26-year-old defender piled up six sacks in 2013 and ranked eighth in the NFL with 16 hits on the passer.
Houston's also a strong presence against the run, which looms as critical for a Bears team that finished last in that category this past season, allowing a league-worst 161.4 yards per game on the ground.
Chicago "pushed hard" for Houston after Bennett re-signed with Seattle. Landing the lineman as he enters his prime serves a double purpose for the Bears: Their rival, the Green Bay Packers, were said to be very interested in Houston, who now sets his sights on making life tough for Aaron Rodgers for years to come.
In the latest edition of the "Around The League Podcast," the guys study the free agency picture with the help of NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport.

Three Killed in renewed attacks on Black Libyans
Since NATO bombed the rebels into Tripoli in late August, there has been a systematic persecution of Black Libyans and anyone who defends them.
[Global: Libya]
The Misrata Brigade have begun shooting at and attacking civilians in a refugee camp in Janzour containing approximately 1,500 refugees from the now obliterated town of Tawergha, close to Misrata.
The area surrounding the camp has been closed off by the brigade preventing any help from reaching the refugees.
Doctors in Central Tripoli Hospital have confirmed that they have already received the bodies of one man and one woman from the camp. (AFP reported three deaths today).
Residents in Tripoli, including the Tawerghan community outside of the camp who are unable to help their fellow countrymen, are pleading with the international community to spread awareness about the attack and to stop the attack which is continuing at this moment.
The racist crimes committed by the Misrata Brigade against the town of Tawergha, which is mainly populated by Black Libyans, has been well documented by international human rights organisations and and the global mainstream media. They are infamous for scrawling on the walls on the road to Tawergha, that they, the Misrata brigade are "the brigade for the purging of the skins of slaves, Black skins."
Under the protection of NATO bombing which obliterated any attempts by the Tawerghan people and Libyan military to defend themselves and the twon, the Misrata brigade racially cleansed the entire town of between 10-20,000 in Tawergha in line with their motto that "there is no Tawergha, only Misrata". Indeed Tawergha as it historically was, no longer exists.
Many people fled at the time to the safety of Tripoli which was still under the control of the Jamahiriyah government, where they found refuge in peoples homes and refugee camps and were being swiftly rehoused by the former government.
Since NATO bombed the rebels into Tripoli in late August, there has been a systematic policy by the rebels of persecuting those refugees and anyone who defends them.

RAB38 represents a new target antigen for immunotherapy approaches in melanoma
Search Medline for
|March 20, 2006
Target antigens for cancer vaccines are characterized by their tumor restricted expression and their immunogenicity. In melanoma, melanocyte differentiation antigens like Melan-A, tyrosinase, and gp100 have been shown to mediate anti-tumor responses in clinical vaccine trials. Effective vaccine strategies in metastatic disease need to target different antigens simultaneously, therefore new potential target antigens need to be identified and characterized. Here we report on RAB38, a novel serologically-defined melanocyte differentation antigen, that is highly restricted and abundantly expressed in normal melanocytes and melanoma tissues but not in other normal tissues or cancer types. We could demonstrate that RAB38 is highly immunogenic inducing spontaneous antibody responses in a significant proportion of melanoma patients. Antibody responses are melanoma specific, other melanocyte-destructive diseases like vitiligo were not associated with anti-RAB38 responses. Fine analysis of the spontaneous anti-RAB38 antibody response reveals a polyclonal B-cell recognition targeting various epitopes, though a dominant immunogenic region was preferentially recognized. Interestingly, our data indicate that this recognition is not stable over the course of a patient's disease, as the dominant epitope may be modulated during it`s evolution. To evaluate potential HLA-A*0201 restricted CD8 T cell responses in cancer patients, we applied in-vitro sensitization with overlapping peptides spanning the RAB38 protein sequence and the reverse immunology approach. We identified a RAB38 peptide (nonamer) that showed a significant response after in-vitro sensitization of CD8 T cells derived from melanoma patients using ELISPOT assay. RAB38-specific T cell populations specifically recognized melanoma cell lines that express both HLA-A2 and RAB38. In-vitro digestion assays using purified proteasomes provide further evidence of natural processing of the RAB38 derived peptide. Applying tetramer technology, we identified spontanous CD8 T cell responses against this peptide in HLA-A*0201 melanoma patients. In addition to immune recognition, our data strongly indicate that the RAB38 derived peptide may be involved in initiating immune responses against RAB38. Together, our data strongly suggest that RAB38 iis a promising target antigen for immunotherapy approaches in melanoma. The newly identified HLA-A*0201 restricted epitope will be used in a clinical vaccine protocol in HLA-A2 positive patients with advanced RAB38 expressing melanoma.

What are basic skills? "Basic Skills are those foundational skills in reading, writing, mathematics, learning skills, study skills, and English as a Second Language that are necessary for students to succeed in college-level work†(Basic Skills as a foundation for Student Success in California Community Colleges-also known as the Poppy Copy, 2007). Many of our students that are enrolling in California Community Colleges lack the college level skills/strategies for success in their academics. Los Angeles Mission College (LAMC) has seen an increase of student enrollment in our basic skills courses.
To date, LAMC has been committed in serving our Basic Skills students by implementing the First-Year Experience (FYE). FYE began in Summer 2010 and continued in the Fall 2010 and Spring 2011 semesters. FYE consists of either an English or Math pathways for success in linking two or more courses together to serve our student population. Every incoming student who has been placed in a one-level to three level below English or Math course will also be taking a linked course that is college-level. Also, we have incorporated the state-of-the-art Student Success Centers Workshops at the Library Resource Center (LRC). Students learn and engage in new concepts, skills, and strategies for a successful college experience. Workshop topics range from note-taking to financial literacy.
