Hangzhou Tigermed Consulting Co., Ltd. and Frontage Laboratories, Inc. have completed an investment agreement, following approval by the China Securities and Regulatory Commission, under which Tigermed has acquired a majority stake in Frontage, a provider of bioanalysis, preclinical studies, early phase clinical studies and product development services for biopharma companies. Tigermed provides outsourced clinical development services across China and Asia Pacific regions.
Frontage will continue to operate independently, and will retain its name, management team and operations facilities.
"Our strategic partnership with Frontage firmly establishes our global clinical trial network," said Dr. Xiaoping Ye, founder and chief executive officer of Tigermed. "The two companies share similar philosophies and operational approaches, which combined with additional complementary strengths in research integrity and reliability will now benefit clients on a much larger scale."
"Joining efforts with Tigermed allows us to expand our geographic range and align our early development services with Tigermed's late phase clinical operations for a scope that will serve clients looking for full-service, high quality, global drug development resources," said Song Li, founder and chief executive officer of Frontage.

I say "project file" in the loosest sense. I have a few python projects that I work on with ropemacs using emacs W32 for Windows. What would be ideal is if I could have an icon I could click on on my desktop to open up emacs, open up the rope project, and set the speed bar in the top-level directory of that project. Then I could also maybe have a way to open up the next project in its own emacs set up the same way (but for that project). Of course, it's also acceptable if there were an emacs command or a shell command I could use to achieve the same effect instead of an icon on my desktop.
Is there any way to do this? I have absolutely no elisp-fu. :-(

By Now Foods249 Reviews
Expiration Date:?Jan 2019
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.18 lbs (0.08 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Chlorophyll can function as a free radical neutralizer, may help to support the body's detoxification processes and has been traditionally used as an internal deodorizer. This water-soluble extract is in the form of sodium copper chlorophyllin.

iHerb Customer Reviews
I like this product and take one in the morning and one at night to clean my insides. I don't take too many vitamins/supplements, just chlorophyll, vitamin c, a multivitamin, and sometimes zinc. I've noticed that if I throw all the pills in and swallow at once, the chlorophyll gets very upset with me and I feel like I need to vomit; I can drink some water and actually throw up and see all the chlorophyll come up and out. When I take this alone it is great!
I've tried several things to clear my cystic acne, with no luck. I took this for anemia...and was totally surprised to notice my face has not broke out in 4 months!

The St. Louis-based company announced Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2013, the frown-faced Internet sensation, real name Tardar Sauce, is now the "spokescat" for a Friskies brand of cat food. (AP Photo/Nestle Purina PetCare)
(CBS) - Cats might be cuddly, but their love nibbles can be a serious health matter.
A study published in the February issue of The Journal of Hand Surgery showed that 30 percent of patients who had a cat bite on hand ended up staying in a hospital for more than three days on average.
Who would've thought those tiny teeth could be so dangerous?
"The dogs' teeth are blunter, so they don't tend to penetrate as deeply and they tend to leave a larger wound after they bite," senior study author Dr. Brian Carlsen, a Mayo Clinic plastic surgeon and orthopedic hand surgeon, said in a press release. "The cats' teeth are sharp and they can penetrate very deeply, they can seed bacteria in the joint and tendon sheaths."
The researchers identified 193 patients who had went to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. over the course of three years due to cat bites. Fifty-seven of them had to be admitted to the facilities, with an average stay of 3.2 days.
Oral antibiotics were given to 154 patients, but failed to work in 14 percent of cases. Those patients ended up being hospitalized.
Out of the patients who had to take a hospital bed because a cat gnawed on them, 67 percent needed cleaning and removal of dead, damaged or infected tissue. Eight of the patients needed more than one operation.
Other injuries including erythema, a redness or rash on the skin due to damage to deeper skin layers, and swelling were linked to a higher chance of needing a hospital stay.
Complications were also common in these cases, especially for those who were bit over a joint like the wrist or a tendon sheath. People who were smokers and had immune system problems were also more prone to having additional issues from a cat bite.
"It can be just a pinpoint bite mark that can cause a real problem, because the bacteria get into the tendon sheath or into the joint where they can grow with relative protection from the blood and immune system," Carlsen said.

Oh, I see what you mean. I didn't notice it at all at first though, not until you pointed it out. It's a bit annoying once you've seen it, but I don't think it's that bad. It's quite well camouflaged.

Bank RoadEdit This Page
From FamilySearch Wiki
In the early 1800s Maryland's roads west were impassable much of the year. President Thomas Jefferson signed legislation in 1806 authorizing the Federal Government to construct the National Road from Cumberland to Wheeling, where travelers could take the Ohio River west. Cumberland was the eastern terminus because at the time, it was the closest that ships on the Potomac River could take travelers to the Northwest Territory (the land north of the Ohio River, east of the Mississippi River).
It was up to Maryland to build a road connecting the seaport of Baltimore to the National Road in Cumberland. Because of the expense of building such a road through Maryland's mountains the banks agreed to provide the funding through the purchase of stock in the Cumberland Turnpike Company in exchange for extension of their charters to 1835. Thus, the Maryland extension from Baltimore to Cumberland became known as the Bank Road. The "Bank Road" reached Cumberland in 1820, with only a few gaps from Cumberland to Baltimore.
One of the gaps was a 10-mile section between Hagerstown and Boonsboro. A turnpike company was formed to close the gap, with the banks again buying the stock in exchange for another extension of their charters (to 1845). This section of the Bank Road has the distinction of being the first use in the United States of the principles of road building conceived by John Loudon McAdam, whose name gave the pavement its name, macadam. According to historian Albert Rose:
The work consisted of resurfacing a former county road. This section was in a sad state of deterioration. The surfacing was completed in 1823.Soon, Conestoga wagons were carrying wheat, corn, and pork from the West to Baltimore, and returning with manufactured goods needed in the Ohio Valley. The advantages, however, of overland travel were threatened when New York's Erie Canal opened in 1825 and drew the western trade to the harbor at New York City. To compete with the canal for the western commerce, a group in Baltimore received a charter in February 1827 for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. The railroad reached Cumberland in 1842 and Chicago in 1874, enabling the city to retain its hold on at least some of the western market.

The dog, named Bullseye and the mascot of Target, was stationed in a $275 face value seat today as guerilla marketing by what are obviously the brightest box store minds in the biz.
How (pre)fab!
Look, I know Target dropped alotta loot for naming rights to the new ballpark. But the painted dog? The greeters in Duluth and the PETA kooks need to see that a lot more than I do.
Guys, leave the marketing to the city slickers and stick to what you do best: Frozen fish sticks, adult diapers and particle board bulk buying under one (pre-engineered, aluminum) roof.
Though now that I think about it, wouldn't be such a bad idea for Wal-Mart to use John Daly in a similar capacity for the Tulsa Drillers' new yard.

Boatyard General Permit
A boatyard, for the purposes of this permit, is a service business engaged in construction, repair, and maintenance of small vessels, at least 85% of which are 65 feet or less in length, or revenues from which constitute more than 85% of gross receipts. Boatyards include mobile facilities and may build a limited number of custom boats.
Boatyard operations often produce wastewater and stormwater that they must dispose of safely. In accordance with the federal Water Pollution Control Act and state Water Pollution Control laws, Ecology helps to ensure that the disposal of these wastewaters causes no harm to the environment.
Ecology requires facilities that produce the majority of that wastewater to have an NPDES (National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System) permit. NPDES permits contain specific requirements and conditions for permittees to protect rivers and other water bodies that receive wastewater discharges. More info

Posted by Team Swagbucks on Thu, March 1st, 2012 at 3:00 pm

Cube World had something of a messy launch back in July, thanks to a bittersweet and server straining combination of enthusiasm and DDoS attacks. The internet waters having calmed, people were finally able to buy the voxel RPG, but in the months that followed, the alpha received no further updates. With players fearing development had been abandoned, developer Wolfram von Funck used Twitter to
Cube World has come a long way since we last featured it way back in September.

Cube World will naturally draw many comparisons to Minecraft for its colourful cubic tendencies, but a quick watch of the video uncovers a much quicker, more combat heavy take on the open world exploration RPG. Sprinting, stun attacks and dungeons full of new monsters are all showcased, along with some neat gadgets, like adorable voxelly gliders.

Paneer Curry with Peas
Paneer, a fresh, mild Indian cheese, stands in for the meat in this delicious vegetarian main course. When you're shopping for the peas, look for fresh shelling peas (sometimes called English peas) that have vibrant green pods full of small round peas. Larger peas are sometimes starchy instead of sweet and crisp.

The looters are helping themselves to DVD and MP3 players, beer, flat screen TVs, clothing, booze, guns, candy and sporting goods. Some simply loaded up shopping carts with all they could hold and boldly pushed them out the doors and down the sodden streets. "With no police officers in sight," reported The New York Times, "people carried empty bags, shopping carts and backpacks through the door of the Rite Aid on Wednesday and left with them full. As they came and went, the looters nodded companionably to one another."
No doubt there were some desperate residents of New Orleans who took to theft simply to get food and water from stores bereft of clerks and electricity. But most of the looting is not of that character. As good people within the city struggle to help the sick who lack functioning hospitals, the thousands who lack basic food and shelter, and the unknown number still waiting to be rescued from flooded homes, the psychological blow looters are dealing to the city (and the country) is dramatic. As Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco put it, "What angers me most is disasters tend to bring out the best in everybody, and that's what we expected to see. Instead, it has brought out the worst."
Several news organizations have reported that armed gangs are now roving the streets. They raided a nursing home and took whatever they could lay hands on. "We had enough food for 10 days," Peggy Hoffman, the home's director, told the AP. "Now we'll have to equip our department heads with guns and teach them how to shoot."
The evacuation of the steamy, filthy, unsafe Superdome was temporarily halted after a report (which may or may not be true) that shots were fired at a military helicopter attempting to help out. The Superdome is a sink of misery, with toilets backed up, no air conditioning, and a stench so disgusting that authorities are donning face masks when they enter.
Mayor Ray Nagin has ordered New Orleans police officers to halt their search and rescue efforts and focus on apprehending looters. But how much will the suffering of the stranded and needy be prolonged as the police read looters their rights and take them into custody? How many station houses and jails are even above water? Six thousand inmates in the New Orleans area are already scheduled to be moved to higher ground.

Why Is New Labour So against Small Businesses?
Byline: JAMES BARTHOLOMEW
ONLY this week Tony Blair told the British Venture Capital Association that entrepreneurs were the new elite - 'the frontline troops of Britain's new economy'.
And his Trade and Industry Secretary Stephen Byers recently promised the Federation of Small Businesses that he would promote small business enterprise and avoid over-regulation. He said he wanted to encourage people to take the risk of setting up wealth-creating small businesses.
But as with so many other aspects of New Labour, these warm words have not been matched by action.
A catalogue of red tape imposed on enterprise is the real proof of the way New Labour treats it. Small businesses are becoming convinced that they are hated by the Government.
They have watched as, over a period of months, by stealth, the biggest-ever increase in burdens has been imposed on them.
In the past few years, usually without a secretary to help, let alone a personnel department, they have been faced with mastering a swathe of new rules.
At first sight, the number of new employment laws such as paternity leave and changes to other working practices seem few. But when all this legislation is pulled together, the list is formidable.
The latest demand on the country's four million small firms is that they must administer the new stakeholder pension. It has been estimated that the extra costs will total [pounds sterling]220 million a year.
Other burdens include the minimum wage being raised to [pounds sterling]3.60 an hour; new paternity leave rights; more generous payments and entitlements to maternity leave; extra rights for union recognition; more freedom for staff to be given emergency leave or domestic incident leave; and easier access to industrial tribunal claims for workers.
All this comes from a government that professes to be sympathetic to entrepreneurs.
In each case, the changes are complex with exceptions and conditions varying according to the size and type of business.
SUCH burdens have consumed huge chunks of management time and have significantly added to the cost of running a small business.
The irony is that, in nearly every case, the laws and regulations were introduced by people who thought they were doing good. They believed, for example, that the minimum wage would create a better Britain where nobody was paid less than [pounds sterling]3.60 an hour.
Another plan is to make elderly people in care homes happier by ensuring their accommodation offers at least 12 square metres of space.
Again, the good intention is obvious.
But when I visited Cameron Warwick, who runs a care home with five full-time and five part-time staff, which is featured here (right), it became clear that the Government is achieving the very opposite.
The much-fanfared minimum wage is costing Mr Warwick, from Blyth in Northumberland, an extra [pounds sterling]12,000 a year. And the new rules on holidays, part of the working time directive, mean he must increase employees' paid holiday from two weeks per year to three - and pay someone else to cover the extra week's leave, setting him back another [pounds sterling]4,000.
Next year, employees will receive a minimum of four weeks' holiday, costing Mr Warwick yet more in temporary cover.
But while these costs have risen dramatically, his income - from local authorities, which pay for the care has a risen only a fraction. Business has therefore become less profitable.
Mr Warwick, like many other bosses across the country in the same position, has been forced to employ one less person - reducing the quality of care he offers to his elderly customers.
It means he will not be able to expand his capacity as he wanted. So the result is less employment and fewer care home places.
This merely emphasises how such a surge of new rules and regulations is not only an oppressive burden for businessmen and women, they also affect the rest of us. …

Where to buy nursing bras and tanks
I LOVE Target's nursing Tanks...I live in them the first few months! Literally use them as bras...wear them under tops...to bed....buy a bunch! :)
Mama to a wonderful 7 year old DD and a brand spankin' new DD born 12-12-12!
Diapers.com has some really good bras for the bigger curved lady. I was able to get a fantastic bra for only 11 bucks from there, on mark down of course, but they had a 44DD like I needed for nursing (Gotta love engorgment)
Proud mother to Joseph Henry, born 12-6-12 <3
Breastfeeding and healing are my two main goals right now.

Viking Fleet by Loren86Watch

They came in 300 ships, but were to leave in only 25. Tried to capture the imposing feel of a whole bunch of ships coming at you without it looking too crowded.
can i please get a high res image of this to turn into a private poster on my wall? I am a traditional polynesian canoe captain of viking decent but living in New Zealand. Please send to tawhirigmail(dot)com and I can send a donation to you for the print? Will not be used for any promo work or anything other than admiring on my wall (y)
Howzit man, Please contact me with regards to this art. I would really like to use it in a tattoo idea.
I believe you succeeded
Awesome piece of work.
Beyond amazing!
Badass! You can feel the intensity of the incoming horde! Say thy last prayers! MAWHAHAHA! Ahem! Sorry, too much caffine! lol
very nice work!
Mjollnir is coming down on your head in the form of a thousand Viking warriors. Odin's protection goes with them, while over their heads wait the salivating Valkyries, writhing in anticipation for the slaughter.
Beautiful !
really brilliant!
This fine work is becoming my new wallpaper! awesome
That's really good!
Simply stormin'!!
That's great, wow!
That would have looked so good on my wall

Thankyou! Gorgeous but intimidating right? Don't want my vikings looking too friendly...
Intimidating, yes, even though I'm of Viking stock. They *don't* look too friendly. But beautiful, gorgeous work.
On their way to Stamford Bridge then?
Very imposing, I like it very much! I'd say you succeeded on the 'not to crowded' part, too.

Excellent piece of work, the scene looks very imposing, more so if your going to be on the wrong end of a Viking invasion.
Hey thanks a lot, the whole point was to drive home how intimidating 300 viking ships sailing at you would be, glad to hear it achieves the desired effect.
This is bloody brilliant!
Thanks dude! First time anyone called my work ''bloody brilliant''...
I was listening to sanitarium, from Apocalyptica. I think that the picture and the music actually combine very well. Specially the first minute.

Oil Pressure Problem
98 RAM 1500, 318, 230,000 Miles
This is an on going issue, in fact 2 years ago we parked the truck out of the way and its been there until yersterday. I'm tired of it being in the yard dormant. If it's worth fixing then we will keep it and ustilize it or it needs to be sold.
Oil pressure drops from 40psi to 0 and will come back up at intermitten times. Last time we were doing anything to resolve this we did a full tuneup, replaced the CKP, 02 sensor, coil, etc. Basically though a bunch of money at it hoping for the best.
The oil pressure thing we assumed was a bad sensor, but I now don't think so.
The problem with the truck is that after it heats up it struggles to stay running. Cold it runs great. Warmed up it will die and you wont get it started till it completely cools. And when I say warmed up I mean 1 mile, 2 miles tops and your walking.
As I said, yesterday we moved it to the garage and it now has a lifter tap.
I don't know why I didn't put 2 and 2 together before, but now it seems obvious that the truck (Fred) is starving for oil and tried to warn us.
The question is has it gone to far to be recovered?
Logic tells me that being starved for oil, metal to metal friction is causing internals to expand and become harder and harder to move as it heats up.
Is it worth dropping the pan, replacing the oil pump and tube, or is the lifter tap a sign that too much damage has been done?
I would recommend dropping the pan and pulling the main caps and rod caps to check for damage. If the bearings are ok, install a new pump and pickup tube.
What about the lifter tap?
And if the beaings are in good shape should the first few oil changes be done with 4qrts oil, 1 qrt auto trans fluid/marvel mystery oil to help clean out any residule sludge/gunk?
With the increased oil pressure and volume from a new pump, the lifter noise should go away unless it's damaged. I would NOT recommend trying to flush the engine because anything you break loose is going to go right back to the pickup tube where it could congeal and stop it up.
Should we break things up then before we replace the pump? If so whats the best way to go about it or best product to use? I have heard everything from using deisel/k1, seafoam, transmission fluid, ect.
I'm inclined to think it would be best to clean the motor as best as possible to avoid future issues.
Also, not a fan of seafoam. In fact I believe that the use of seafoam (which we did) is what caused all the issues to begin with.
The only way I approve of for removing sludge from a block, is a complete tear down and cleaning by way of hot tanking and bore brushing. Obviously, anything that can be removed from the block can be cleaned and put back on with no worries. Breaking sludge loose with any form of chemical method is asking for trouble IMO. I would much rather leave the deposits in place as long as they aren't restricting oil flow.
Good to know, thank you for the info.
I just had a buddy look at it and he says the lifter tap is not a lifter tap, he says its a lower end knock.
So this may not be worth it after all....
I'll still pull the pan and have a peek at how things look.
Ouch. That immediately makes me think connecting rod bearing. Good luck with it and keep us posted.
i would say your lifter tap is from lack of oil pressure. the lifters are hydraulic and they have to have pressure to keep filled up. i've seen this before but you very possibly could have sludge in the pan. and its clogging up the sending unit. if you drive it too much like that you will be looking at a bearing problem for sure. and remember anytime you do have a bad bearing it could cause loss of oil pressure so definantly drop the pan it will reveal the problem
Yeah, we definately dont drive it. Like I said it was parked for nearly 2 years. If it was being driven, after a mile or 2 you would be walking.
Before being parked it did have an occasional lifter tap (very faint tick), after being woken from a 2 year slumber it now has a very apparent knock. Perhaps one of the bearings rusted itself inplace? The altenator was rusted up and wouldnt spin. I had to use a socket on the pully and free it up.
Luckily it was only driven 50 - 100 feet in the yard to move it to the garage.
I don't know, but when we drop the pan I will report my findings (and probably ask for more advise).
Thanks guys.

What's it gotten us? The number of undocumented foreigners living here rose steadily until 2008, when the busted economy made America a less alluring destination. It's not fair to say that the illegal population grew in spite of our sternest efforts to reduce it. It's more accurate to say it happened (SET ITAL) because (END ITAL) of those efforts.
In the old days, most people who came illegally didn't stay for long. They showed up, worked for a while and returned home. But when border crossings became more difficult, perilous and expensive, many of them chose to remain in this country permanently rather than leave and risk not being able to get back.
"It was thus a sharp decline in the outflow of undocumented migrants, not an increase in the inflow of undocumented migrants, that was responsible for the acceleration of undocumented population growth during the 1990s and early 2000s, and this decline in return migration was to a great extent a product of U.S. enforcement efforts," wrote Princeton scholars Douglas Massey and Karen Pren in a recent issue of Population and Development Review.
Why we should be reluctant to accept these striving newcomers, who almost invariably work hard and stay out of trouble, is a puzzle. The punitive approach is particularly unfair in the case of those who were brought here as children and have become Americans in all the customary ways, through no fault of their own.
But maybe all the talk about tougher enforcement is just a way for our leaders to cover their shift to an overdue accommodation of the illegal immigrants in our midst.
The choice is not between letting them stay and making them leave: We have already proved that we can't force them out. The choice is between adjusting the law to fit the stubborn facts of life and persisting in measures to make their lives miserable. The latter is a proven loser, in more ways than one.

Viva Cristo Rey!
When I first heard For Greater Glory (originally titled Cristiada, which I prefer) was being shot I was stunned – and skeptical. It could never be produced by Hollywood. In fact, it wouldn't be a theatrical release, maybe a short documentary, certainly with a small budget. On the former I was correct: it was made in Mexico. On the latter I was wrong. It's a full-fledged, major motion picture, with grade-A talent. And it's wonderful.
The cast includes Andy Garcia, Eva Longoria, Peter O'Toole (in a cameo role as a murdered priest, the octonogerian is splendid), Ruben Blades and Mexican star Eduardo Verastegui. This is serious stuff.
The movie depicts the Mexican Cristero uprising against the military dictatorship of President Plutarco Calles between 1926 and 1929. Calles was an ardent anti-Catholic in a nation dominated by Catholics. At his command Catholic churches were ordered shuttered, the Mass outlawed and many priests murdered.
The most famous moment in the struggle, not depicted in the film, was the martyrdom of Padre Miguel Pro, ordered shot by firing squad by Calles in 1927, with the heart-wrenching final moments (Pro kneeling in prayer, then standing, his arms extended in the sign of the cross as bullets shatter him, Pro shot point blank when the fusillade didn't kill him) photographed by order of the Presidente. Padre Pro was beatified by Pope John Paul II the Great in 1988.
I was shown the early trailers because of the family connection. My grandfather Will Buckley Sr. was a strong supporter of the Cristeros. A devout Catholic with business interests in Mexico and an ardent love of that country, so much so that he planned to move his family there, Buckley provided materiel aid to the impoverished peasants. Some things we know to be true. He was targeted for assassination; his oil leases were expropriated by the government; he was expelled. Others are in question: that there was actual attempt to kill him (another version has it that the assassins turned and offered him assistance should he want someone capped); that a train he hired to smuggle in arms from El Paso (maybe) became lost, wandered about at night, ultimately found its way back to El Paso and the weapons were confiscated; and that his heirs were also banished but don't tell my cousin who has been practicing law there for decades.
You know nothing of this uprising? Not to worry, virtually no one does. That included the primary actors. Garcia tells the Huffington Post he knew nothing, but understands it, given that the same catastrophe befell native Cuba, where it "was not only the taking away of religious rights, they curtailed and took away all rights." Even Verastegui, a fervent Catholic, admits he was ignorant of this struggle because of the Mexican public school system. That has changed now thanks to the soft-spoken and elegant Mexican real estate developer-turned-producer Pablo Jose Barroso.
Much is being written about the timing of the movie's release in the wake of the Obama administration's anti-religious mandate and on the eve of the bishops' planned "Fortnight for Freedom" June 21 through July 4. The timing is extraordinary but fortuitous. The movie was planned before President Obama's assault against the Catholic Church.
But just the idea of the connection brings out the worst in the secularist press. Slant magazine pans it as a film "that gives the screen epic a bad name." It attacks the "solemn speechifying," the "overstuffed cast of characters," the "half-baked material," and given "this religion is specifically Catholic… [the movie] …makes the material a tough sell." When Garcia's character ultimately converts to Christianity, "we're back to embracing a worldview where the implied mandate to practice Catholicism feels near as onerous as the inability to do so."
But how historically accurate is this "implied mandate to practice Catholicism"? Here's a hint. Slant dismisses "a whole host of bathetic subplots" claiming "its martyrdom fetish reaches its grotesque nadir when a young boy dies rather than make the most token anti-Catholic gesture."
As for the alleged mushy effusiveness and the martyrdom fetish, there are some historical facts. Over 90,000 died. Dozens have since been canonized by the Church, including 25 by John Paul II alone. The young boy was Jose Luis Sanchez del Rio, who was tortured with his heels slashed before being made to walk to his execution. "He cried and moaned with pain," stated an eyewitness And then he was shot dead.
The "most token anti-Catholic gesture" which would have saved his life was his refusal to shout "Death to Christ the King," instead proclaiming "Viva Cristo Rey!"
Jose was 14. He was beatified by Benedict XVI in 2005.
It is still illegal to celebrate Mass outdoors in Mexico.

Would you be attempting to install the Server Tools kit directly onto an OS X Server 10.6.8 system? If so, please don't do that. The integrated versions of the Server Tools — despite the version numbers displayed by the tools — are the correct versions for the underlying version of OS X Server. Software Update for OS X Server does correctly manage and upgrade the integrated Server Tools kit.
If you're testing with multiple versions of Server Tools installed on OS X client and accessing a remote OS X Server 10.6.8 system, then are there any relevant errors logged in the local console logs on the client or in the servermgrd daemon logs on the server? In general, the Console.app tool is usually better at viewing the logs than the integrated viewer within Server Admin.app, too.

Prostitution-free zones are areas in which police have probable cause to believe a person committed prostitution. Offenders could be banned from the zone for 12- 18 month period. In 2007, Mayor Tom Potter allowed Portland's Prostitution Free Zone ordinances to sunset after determining that the law was ineffective. In recent months, neighbors of the Montavilla neighborhood have begun organizing to push for its reinstatement.
We spoke with Crystal and Lily. Crystal Tenty of the Portland Women's Crisis Line and coordinator of the Sex Workers Outreach Coalition. Lily is a member of SWOC and a sex worker.
We also spoke with Rachel West of the US Prostitutes Collective and who was a member of the San Francisco Task Force on Prostitution.
