How many manmade buildings can you think of that have survived for more than 2,500 years? The Great Wall of China is impressive for many reasons, but top on that list has to be its longevity—some sections date as far back as the seventh century BC, so long ago that a major reconstruction was needed by the time the Ming dynasty rolled around in 1368 AD. Today, much of the wall stands as always has. It courses east to west across the green mountains and running rivers of northern China for some 5,500 miles. You'll see the monumental Great Wall on Nexus Holidays Toronto's 10-day guided tour of China, and it's just one small part of the tour, which stops in five cities and includes round-trip airfare.Click here for a sample itinerary of the trip. Click here for a list of departure dates.Days 1–4: After departing from a gateway city on the West Coast of America on an economy-class flight, you'll touch down in Beijing. Once on the ground, say nǐ hǎo to your English-speaking tour guide before transferring to the regal Jade Palace Hotel, which is situated in Zhongguancun, known as the "Silicon Valley of China." The next three days are jam-packed with sightseeing excursions: you'll see Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, and the Temple of Heaven, another relic from the Ming dynasty. A trip to the Great Wall is the highlight of day 4; your tour group will also spend some time checking out the Olympic Village, which includes Bird's Nest stadium and Water Cube.Days 5–6: The trip moves on to Hangzhou, a city known to Chinese poets as "Paradise on Earth." You'll cruise West Lake, renowned for its natural scenery and ancient pagodas, before taking in the pleasant sights and smells of a green-tea plantation. The 3,000-year-old city of Wuxi is your destination on the next day, where you'll pay a visit to the Grand Buddha at Ling Shan. This iconic statue stands 88 meters high and weighs more than 700 tons, which puts it on the shortlist as one of the largest Buddha sculptures in the world and, whenever anyone places a magazine under it, the world's largest paperweight. Days 7–10: The last days of the trip are split between the city of Suzhou and metropolitan Shanghai. Suzhou is known as the "Venice of the East" for its 1,500-year-old Grand Canal and interlocking waterways. While here, you'll take a stroll through the Master of the Nets Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Designed to evoke the peaceful, simple life of a fisherman, it's a meticulous display of unique water features and nature scenes.Your tour of Shanghai begins with a trip to the Bund, a waterfront district lined with shops and varied architecture influenced by former European occupiers; its building styles range from Romanesque to Gothic to Beaux-Arts. Later, you'll enjoy more than 120,000 curated treasures on display at the Shanghai Museum. Following breakfast on day 10, you'll depart Shanghai for your return flight home.

Village Vintner Winery & Brewery poses a gastronomic triple threat, operating as not just a restaurant and winery, but also a fully functioning brewery. A battalion of stainless-steel machinery ferments the hand-selected wheat and barley that make up the vanilla-cream ale, the German-style hefeweizen, and the Vintner Hop Rocket, an 8.2% ABV varietal culminating from six types of hops and mad, mad science. At the tasting bar, guests can sample these brewery end products, along with Village Vintner's expansive selection of homemade red, white, and fruit wines. The main restaurant area houses a wood-fired pizza oven, which bakes the pesto pizzas and smoldering baby back ribs that complement potables.
A spirit of good-natured fun permeates the copper-hued premises, as evidenced by a free monthly wine and mug club. Live music is a common occurrence on Friday nights, and Wednesdays star Chef Rob's pork special.
Each fall, terror descends upon downtown Elgin when Psychosis Haunted House opens its grounds to thrill-seeking visitors. Chosen as one of the Top 10 Haunted Houses in Illinois by USA Today, the 20,000-square-foot haunted house stations its actors at unexpected intervals, building suspense and fear so that each monster elicits a scream. For an extra fee, guests can choose to be "kidnapped" and hustled inside, where they wait hidden among the shadows until their friends or the pizza delivery guy finally finds them.
Evil Intentions Haunted House evokes the details of its site's checkered past to conjure the stuff of nightmares. The area the haunted house now occupies has been plagued with creepy occurrences for more than a century. Since the 1890s the expanse has been used as the premises of a coffin company, a stomping ground for escapees from a nearby mental institution, and a gathering place for the occult's summer softball league.
Starting in 2005, the Evil Intentions Haunted House team slowly transformed this troubled spot into a haunted house that comes alive with shrieks once night falls. Visitors can leave their cars in the free parking lot and gather in the indoor waiting area before exploring more than 20,000 square feet of tortuous halls filled with dark decor and costumed frights. Demonic clowns, faceless butchers, and cleaver-wielding lunatics creep around corners and leap out of hidden alcoves, scaring both passing patrons and the actual ghosts who occupy the building.
Through St. Charles Paddlewheel Riverboats, Rich Anderson shares the rich history of the Fox River with tour groups, a history that his 68-year-old business is very much apart of. Rich's father, Chet, purchased the Honeymoon Queen for $200 in 1945, hoping to offer rides to picnickers in neighboring Pottawatomie Park. Though the boat required exhaustive repairs, it would soon become a regular sight as it ferried school groups, dinner parties, and lazy ducks along the waters. Both Chet and the Honeymoon Queen retired from the waters by the 1980's, turning over the operations to Rich and the current fleet of paddleboats, which feature open upper decks and spacious enclosed lower decks. Today, as the St. Charles Belle II and Fox River Queen churn the serene waters, guests take in scenic views and learn about the Pottawatomie tribe that lived upon the river's banks almost 200 years ago.

Were I a woman working at The Economist, I'd be irritated, if not appalled, at their continued use of "Sir" as the salutation in all leditors. (Letters to the editor.) Surely there are more than a few elderly female typists bringing tea trays to puffed up "Sirs"hard at work on The Important Things. After plopping down tea, and typing a letter, poor women employees take a break to knit. Is that the picture you want to suggest? Ask your PR man. Is there not ONE female editor at The Economist, while they pretend to be up to date. Please! The middle of the 20th C, is long gone.
THE ECONOMIST ran an article this week showing the higher pay premium that public-sector workers enjoy over their private-sector colleagues in Britain, according to official figures. Even after adjustments for age and qualifications (workers in the public sector tend to be older and better educated) the pay gap persists. Women benefit in the public sector more than men in relative terms but, alas, still earn on average a fifth less per hour. Women in the private sector get an even rougher deal: men have an average pay premium of 33% over their female colleagues. Although women working in London (unsurprisingly) earn the most, they also suffer the greatest imbalance; men in the capital earn almost 40% more.
There are many reasons for the disparity, years taken off for rearing children being one. Women also account for most of part-time employees, toiling in lower skilled jobs. But even then, they do not enjoy any advantage over their male counterparts, with a pay gap of 10% on average. This gap is likely to widen as highly qualified people struggle to find full-time jobs and have to settle for part-time employment (see article). It is little comfort to note that the place for a woman to have the best chance of a career that is nearly as fruitful as a man in money terms, in the private sector, is to head to the North East where the difference in wages is merely a fifth. While it is good that women now have a parity in jobs in the workplace, there is much left to do to give them equal recognition in both position and pay.

(Update) Salem State University on lockdown after double stabbing on shuttle bus
A late-morning double stabbing at Salem State University today prompted officials to put the campus on lockdown as police searched for the assailant.
University Spokeswoman Karen Cady said police were focusing their search on Timothy Wells, 25, of Woburn, who was believed to have fled the area after slashing a female student's hand on a campus shuttle bus around 11:10 a.m.
A bus driver who rushed to help the woman was slashed in the chest.
There were no arrests as of 5 p.m., according to Cady, who said police were still engaged in an ongoing investigation.
"The last I knew they were very close to apprehending the suspect, who was believed to be in an area far away from campus," she said.
Cady said that the victim did not know the attacker, and that it was unclear what prompted the assault. Both victims, who were not identified, were treated for non-life threatening injuries.
A little more than an hour after the attack, at 12:35 p.m., the university tweeted "SHELTER IN PLACE. Suspect may have returned to campus. Close and lock doors, stay away from windows."
The lockdown was lifted at 2:30 p.m., after officials learned that the suspect was no longer on campus, but all classes were cancelled following the assault.
Throughout the lockdown, students took to social media to express concern, while others made light of the situation.
@JakeFLAC tweeted, "The salem state stabber was probs just witch hunting."

OnTarget™ guides online retailers to continually improve online sales results by 40%-80% annually, while decreasing online marketing efforts by 20%.
There's no shortage of e-commerce "experts" out there that presumably tell you the best color for your add-to-cart button, the best look and feel for your check-out process, and any number of other industry best-practices (with most of those practices taken from our books, a fact we're rather proud of).
But where the rubber meets the road in e-commerce has more to do with the overall shopping experience than any particular set of conventions or best practices. And you could go through any number of expensive redesigns or time consuming tests without achieving any appreciable increase in online sales or revenue.
And real insight comes from understanding how your customers are really behaving online and why they're doing the things they do. Specifically, on why they're leaving your site without buying.
Here's how OnTarget™ can give you the edge in understanding the who and the why, while providing clear instructions on how to fix your online store's flaws and improve sales performance:

International Court of Justice (ICJ)
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, also known as the World Court, is the principal judicial organ of the United Nations. It began work in 1946, when it replaced the Permanent Court of International Justice (PCIJ) which had functioned since 1922. It operates under a Statute annexed to the UN Charter.
The ICJ has a dual role: to settle in accordance with international law the legal disputes submitted to it by States, and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorised international organs and agencies.
The peaceful settlement of disputes is one of the primary functions of the United Nations as is evidenced by references to such settlement in the UN Charter. All Member States of the United Nations are automatically Parties to the Statute of the ICJ, which forms an integral part of the UN Charter. In addition, States may make a declaration under article 36(2) of the ICJ Statute accepting the jurisdiction of the Court as compulsory in settling legal disputes with other States which have similarly made a declaration under article 36(2).
Although the Court's judgments are binding only on the parties to any particular case, given the calibre of Court's judges and its status as the principal judicial organ of the UN, decisions of the ICJ are themselves often cited as evidence of international law. The Court has given important decisions and opinions on such topics as the law of the sea, boundary disputes, the use of force and the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons. The text of the Court's decisions may be accessed from its website.

TEAMS: Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs
TEAMS: Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs
CLEVELAND (AP) -- The Browns are finally streaking in a positive direction.
Rookie Travis Benjamin's electrifying 93-yard punt return touchdown gave Cleveland momentum and the Browns won their third straight game, 30-7 over the emotionally drained Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Benjamin's game-changing runback helped the Browns (5-8) continue their resurgence under second-year coach Pat Shurmur, whose future in Cleveland remains uncertain. The Browns, who opened this season with five consecutive losses, have one more win than last season, and their longest winning streak since 2009.
Rookie Trent Richardson had a pair of 1-yard TD runs for Cleveland.
Jamaal Charles ran for 165 yards, breaking off an 80-yard TD run on the game's first play for Kansas City.
It was the first road game for the Chiefs (2-11) following linebacker Jovan Belcher's suicide. The 25-year-old killed his girlfriend at their home before driving to the team's practice facility on Dec. 1 and shooting himself.
Richardson's second TD early in the fourth quarter gave the Browns a 27-7 lead and finally put away the Chiefs, who a week ago were able to pull together and win at home over Carolina, less than one day after Belcher's unspeakable act. On Saturday, Charles, several teammates and general manager Scott Pioli attended a memorial service in Texas for Kasandra Perkins, who was killed by Belcher.
Coach Romeo Crennel had rallied his team through the difficult ordeal, but it may have been too much to expect the Chiefs to repeat last week's effort.
Charles was able to return after sustaining a rib injury that knocked him out one series. Kansas City, though, lost leading receiver Dwayne Bowe, who injured his ribs in the first half and didn't return.
Without Bowe, quarterback Brady Quinn was without his top target. Quinn, who had his best game as a pro last week, finished 11 of 22 for 159 yards and one interception.
Phil Dawson kicked field goals of 23, 24 and 34 yards for the Browns. His first kick made him the 25th player in NFL history to make 300 field goals.
The 23-point margin of victory was Cleveland's largest since 2003 -- a significant accomplishment for a franchise that has had 11 double-digit loss seasons since 1999.
Benjamin's 93-yard punt return -- the longest in team history -- gave the Browns a 10-7 lead.
Just before the snap, Benjamin lined up to block Kansas City's gunner before running back 50 yards and switching spots with Josh Cribbs, who rushed up the middle. Benjamin fielded the kick inside his 10, cut sharply left at the 20, picked up a few blockers, made punter Dustin Colquitt miss and outran the rest of Kansas City's coverage unit.
The return by the speedy Benjamin, a fourth-round pick from Miami, was one yard longer than Eric Metcalf's TD at Cincinnati on Sept. 4, 1994.
Now with Benjamin joining Richardson, quarterback Brandon Weeden and wide receiver Josh Gordon as playmakers, the Browns have a solid offensive foundation for the future. On defense, several rookies, including linemen Billy Winn and John Hughes have contributed all season.
Shurmur and his staff have the Browns headed in the right direction, but there's no guarantee new owner Jimmy Haslam will allow them to stay next season.
Cleveland started the second half at their 40 after Kansas City's Ryan Succop shanked the kickoff out of bounds. Two plays later, Weeden nearly threw an interception, but tight end Ben Watson wrestled the ball away from Chiefs safety Eric Berry to keep the drive alive.
Richardson then plowed in for his eighth rushing TD, and later got his ninth to tie the team rookie record set by Hall of Famer Jim Brown (1957).
The Browns came in worrying about Charles' ability to score from anywhere on the field, and he only needed 12 seconds to make them more concerned.
Taking a handoff to the right on the first snap, Charles busted through Cleveland's line and took off, running away from the Browns defensive backs. Charles had a 91-yard TD run earlier this season against New Orleans.
Kansas City drove it to Cleveland's 3-yard line on its next possession, set up by Quinn's 47-yard pass to Bowe. But the Chiefs bogged down and Succop's 27-yard field goal attempt hit the left upright -- the first of many signs this would not be Kansas City's day.

NBA Lockout Feet: Around The Chinese Basketball Association
November 22nd, 2011 by John Kim | 13 comments
When news of the NBA Lockout began to surface, some NBA players wasted no time in accepting contract offers from professional teams in the Chinese Basketball Association. It gave these out-of-work players a chance to shine brightly on a stage that is perhaps equally as energetic as the one in the United States, and given that the NBA still hasn't scheduled a tip-off, the move to the other side of the hemisphere, in retrospect, was a shrewd move. Players like J.R. Smith, Wilson Chandler, and Yi Jianlian (who felt right at home) have been sporting some sick sneakers during the games, like the Air Jordan III 'Doernbecher' (courtesy of Chandler), the Air Jordan III 'True Blue' (Smith's doing), and the Air Jordan XIII 'Bulls', rocked by former NBA-er Gerald Green. Check out a quick overview of the sneakers spotted around the Chinese Basketball Association and let us know who rocked the best heat!

Traditional | Berlin, Germany
Study Abroad Coordinator: Colleen Boyle (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Inspired by Berlin's fascinating architectural transformation and the prolific "often controversial" construction after the fall of the Wall, this program was created for the Architecture students.

This program acquaints students with the process of rebuilding in one of Europe's key cities and instills a critical attitude towards the physical and cultural context of architecture. Students contrast the recent ultra modern commercial and bureaucratic architecture with the corroded walls and incomplete spaces that still characterize much of the urban landscape.
Today's technologies allow architects to design for building sites they may never visit. What does it mean for an architect to propose a building or to rethink an urban situation in a foreign culture? How do architects develop an appropriate understanding of a place, its history and architecture, in the design process? In Berlin's turbulent context, students combine site analysis with their talent and intuition to design locally relevant solutions.

By the turn of the 20th century Iceland was one of the poorest countries in Europe. Over the course of the last hundred years, utilization of Iceland's considerable resources has allowed a remarkable transformation of the country, which now enjoy's a standard of living among the best in the world and is considered a leader in the sustainable use of natural resources.

The Casa de las Conchas is a stunning edifice of shells carved into golden sandstone.
