It is situated on Hong Kong Island on the western side of Wong Nei Chong Road, directly opposite the main entrance to the Happy Valley Racecourse. Visiting InformationHong Kong Cemetery opens daily 07:00-17:00 hours from 1 April to 30 September (Summer) and 07:00-17:00 hours from 1 October - 31 March (Winter). Historical InformationIn November 1914, the German leased territory of Tsingtao in north-east China was captured by the Japanese, supported by a small contingent of Commonwealth forces on land and sea. Military hospitals in Kowloon and Hong Kong received the sick and wounded from this fighting and later, from German prison camps. Throughout the First World War, Hong Kong was garrisoned by local defence and Commonwealth forces. During the Second World War, Hong Kong fell to Japanese forces on Christmas Day 1941 following a brief but intense period of fighting. Most of those buried or commemorated on the island were killed at this time, or died later as internees or prisoners of war during the Japanese occupation. Hong Kong Cemetery, a large civil burial ground, contains 83 scattered Commonwealth burials of the First World War and 62 from the Second. The Commission also maintain 1179 non-war graves in this site.

My Own QuandaryGenerally speaking, I believe in taking the simplest way to a summit. The reasons for this are threefold: why take a harder way when an easier one exists, why not start early and take the easiest way so you can beat the crowds, and why endure the frustration of fighting your way to a summit only to stumble upon others who did nothing harder than follow a trail up some steep slopes? That is why I will never do "true" hikes up New Hampshire's Mt. Washington or up Pikes Peak and Mt. Evans in Colorado; I hate the fact that roads climb them, but I won't use my feet when the multitudes can drive up ahead of me or, worse even, past me. Some would advise me to try winter climbs of such peaks, but I still can't get excited about the strain and the danger when I can just wait a few months for the road to open. Some will call this attitude lazy or even arrogant, but to me it's just pragmatic.
Complicating this view has been my increasing dissatisfaction with Class 1 and 2 routes; many Class 3 routes are unfulfilling now, too. I will still take a trail or a simple scramble, but I do prefer something more challenging and exciting. But because I prefer not to climb on a rope, finding routes that are both challenging and reasonably safe (sane) for an unroped climber can be a little tricky.
So when I decided I wanted to summit Quandary, I chose to try the Inwood Arete (the 5.4 version) instead of ascending via the standard East Slopes route. The route, though technical in some places, seemed both appealing and possible considering my ability level and climbing style. Besides, my aging knees, having taken a battering from a lifetime of sports, hiking, and climbing, prefer a good climb to the steep talus of most walk-up routes.
The Trip--- Short Version
I began at 6 A.M. and expected to hit the summit by 9 even though most accounts I'd read seemed to suggest 11 was the more likely time; I arrived at 8:40 and would have been there a bit earlier if I'd found and followed the right route the whole way.
The view was astonishing; I could pick out thirteen other fourteeners, including the Maroons and Snowmass in the Elks, and I knew that I could have identified a few more of the Sawatch had I known their profiles from that perspective. A fresh dusting of snow on the upper reaches of Cameron and Lincoln from the previous night's storms was an awesome touch in August.
A Need for Careful Attention to Details, Good Route-Finding Skills, or a Little Insanity
If you want to do Quandary and want a challenge beyond the Class 3 West Ridge or the steep but easy (and very crowded) Class 1 East Slopes, try the Inwood (or, when it's in good condition, the Class 4 Quandary Couloir, a snow climb). DO NOT try it if you lack real climbing experience or don't feel comfortable with exposure. I did it free solo-- since I usually have to hike and climb alone, carrying and using rope and associated equipment is cumbersome and impractical for me-- and found it mostly easy. However, make an effort to stick to the route described on the SP page or in Gerry Roach's book; I missed the "correct" way around the towers and found myself at some dead ends and some scary situations that felt tougher than 5.4, though part of that was due to the wet rock (it rained much of the previous night there).
The route was great fun, and I'm glad for it and that I met the challenge, but don't do this one unroped unless you've got some good Class 3/4 experience, route-finding skills, and, above all else, nerve and composure (or a touch of recklessness). There are places on the Arete that are definitely not good places at which to decide you can't go any further. If you doubt that the Inwood is for you, just stick with the standard route, which is a perfectly respectable way to go, but be prepared to have a lot of company.
Again, if you want fun, solitude, and some challenge, take the Inwood Arete. If you belong there, you won't regret it. I did take the Class 1 route down. I imagine that some of the dozens I encountered who were heading up thought I was quite a wuss for carrying a helmet and an ice axe on a walk-up trail.

Serves 10–12
Jambalaya means a great deal to me because it's a dish I've eaten ever since I could chew. There are as many versions as households in Louisiana. Some jambalayas take an entire day and ten friends, others you can produce in your own kitchen in time for dinner. Good sausage and good bacon make all the difference here.
1/2 pound bacon, diced
1 onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 pound smoked pork sausage, sliced
3 cups uncooked converted Louisiana white rice
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
5 cups chicken broth
1 cup tomato sauce or canned chopped tomatoes
2 cups diced cooked pork
3 green onions, chopped

Press Release
08 December 2008
Hardide plc
('Hardide' or 'the Group')
Resignation of Non-Executive Director
Hardide plc (AIM:HDD), the provider of unique metal surface engineering technology, announces that today Mr David Mott has announced his intention to resign from his position as Non-Executive Director of the Group with effect from the AGM in February 2009. At the same time, Mr Mott will also resign as Chairman of the Audit Committee and member of the Remuneration Committee of Hardide plc.
David's decision is due to burgeoning demands on his time resulting from his position as Investment Director of Oxford Capital Partners.
The Board has considered carefully the need for a new non-executive director and has decided that this is not necessary as Hardide already has sufficient knowledge and experience in its existing non-executive Board members, comprising Robert Goddard, Non-Executive Chairman, Hugh Carlisle Smith, Non-Executive Director, and William Yale Zakroff, Non-Executive Director.
Robert Goddard, Chairman of Hardide plc said: 'On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank David for the very valuable contribution that he has made since he joined the Board of Hardide Coatings Limited in April 2004; particularly over the past year. His experience with young technology companies has been especially helpful. We will miss him and wish him every success with his other commitments.'
David Mott added: 'Hardide is on a growth path and my decision follows a record month of sales and profits for the group. I wish the company every success in the future.'

Clinton rustling FL Crackers, Jews for Obama
Bill Clinton on Larry King (per Politico): "When (the Clinton Global Initiative) is over, and after the Jewish holidays, which follow close on it, I intend to go to Florida, to Ohio, to northeast Pennsylvania and to Nevada at a minimum," he said. "I may do events in Arkansas, depending on what the Democratic Party does down there. And I've agreed to do some fundraising for them in California and New York."
"Are you kind of feeling Jewish that you're waiting until after the Jewish holidays?" King asked, according to a CNN transcript.
"No. But I think it would be -- if we're trying to win in Florida, it may be that," Clinton began, before discussing his real Florida target: "You know, they think that because of who I am and where my political base has traditionally been, they may want me to go sort of hustle up what Lawton Chiles used to call the 'Cracker vote' there. But Sen. Obama also has a big stake in doing well in the Jewish community in Florida, where Hillary did very well and where I did very well. And I just think respecting the holidays is a good thing to do."
Bill Clinton had talked about campaigning in Florida on Sept. 29, but that's the start of Rosh Hashana, which runs through Oct. 1.

Inflation Targeting: The British Experience
This lecture describes the United Kingdom's experience with inflation targeting. It provides a historical perspective to the introduction of inflation targeting, discusses the concept of inflation targets, and compares an inflation targeting regime with money supply and exchange rate targeting regimes. It is noteworthy that inflation targeting is based on the assumption that low inflation is the proper objective of monetary policy. A significant portion of the lecture covers the issue of the measurement of inflation. It discusses whether asset prices should be taken into account in the inflation measure and looks in particular at the experience of Japan in the late 1980s. It also considers sources of imperfection in traditional measures. It concludes that monetary policy will have to be conducted by reference to estimated price indexes that fall short of the conceptual ideal but does not regard this as seriously undermining an inflation targeting regime. The lecture goes on to discuss the issues of (1) having a target band for inflation or not, (2) the difficulty in forecasting inflation, and (3) the time horizon over which monetary policy should aim. The lecture highlights the important role that openness and transparency play in achieving credibility in monetary policy. It highlights the five devices that are now in use in the United Kingdom, and notes some of the benefits emerging from the open and transparent nature of the United Kingdom approach. It concludes by warning that inflation targeting does not promise to make monetary policy easy but does have the positive virtue of directing attention to many technical issues that need to be resolved in conducting monetary policy.

Microsoft now supports using PHP with the .NET Framework. There's something to take a look at when working with their database.

I need to create an application using PHP and MS SQL Server as the application server environment. Are there any options using dreamweaver?

Are there any extensions available to do this that anyone knows of or could I use the beta of the new DW? Or am I going to have to hand-code it (which is NOTa good thing for me :) ).

The annual European Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (EBACE) will
be staged next month (May 18 to 20) in Geneva. The event, organized jointly by the European Business Aviation Association (EBAA) and NBAA, has now established itself as Europe's undisputed prime showcase for business aviation products and services. It is set to be bigger than ever this year, with more than 250 exhibitors slated to occupy more than 850 booths.
EBACE has almost outgrown Hall 7 of Geneva's Palais d'Expositions (Palexpo), and organizers have been laying plans to let the exhibition spill over into adjoining halls. Hall 7 has direct access, via a walkway, to a static display area inside the neighboring Geneva Airport. Organizers expect this area to be packed with around 40 business aircraft (see box).
Last year's show drew 6,487 attendees. This represented 8-percent growth on the 2003 event. Attendance at this year's event is expected to exceed the 7,000 mark.
This year's conference will address important regulatory and operational changes on the ground and in the air through the formation of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the implementation of Eurocontrol's Single European Sky plan to harmonize air traffic management.
Scheduled speakers include EASA's head of rulemaking, Claude Probst; Eurocontrol director general Victor Aguado; and the European Commission (EC) director of air transport, Daniel Calleja Crespo. EBAA chief executive Brian Humphries and NBAA president Ed Bolen will moderate the opening session on May 18.
Hot Topics: Frax Rules, Security
Conference sessions will address the following topics: navigational developments in Europe (such as PRnav and mode-S enhanced); harmonization of rules for corporate, fractional and commercial operations; future environmental requirements; air traffic management charges; new-generation helicopters; increased security regulations for business aviation; and legal issues for transatlantic flights.
The security debate will be important because the EC is expected to extend the requirement for full enforcement of national aviation security program control procedures to aircraft that weigh between 5,952 and 22,005 pounds or with fewer than 20 seats operating under commercial rules.
The business aviation community in Europe also faces the prospect of a new ATC charging formula that would discriminate against smaller aircraft in favor
of larger airliners. In addition, European Union governments are now escalating the debate over the proposed taxation of aviation fuel on environmental grounds.
IS-BAO Workshop Scheduled
On May 17 the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) will host a workshop on its International Standards for Business Aircraft Operations (IS-BAO) program. Operators can find more details of this session on the IBAC Web site www.ibac.org/ is-bao/Audit%20Workshop. htm.
All the major business aircraft and engine manufacturers have scheduled maintenance and operations sessions during EBACE, covering all product lines. Full details of these meetings and other conference program details, are available via the EBACE Web site at www.ebace.aero.
Organizers Announce Exhibitors
The main novelty exhibit for EBACE 2005 appears to be the Cessna Citation Mustang mock-up, featuring a full-size cabin and a functioning cockpit with the new Garmin G1000 avionics suite.
Cessna will also exhibit a Citation X, Sovereign, Citation XLS, CJ3, CJ2+ and CJ1+.
Bombardier will give an EBACE debut to its new Global 5000. Another example of this type appeared at the Farnborough Air Show in July last year, but the Canadian airframer is set to unveil a new demonstrator model, featuring a full production interior.
Bombardier will also be exhibiting a new, production-configured Challenger 300 demonstrator. The company may also bring a Challenger 604 to the show.
The Canadian airframer is also likely to populate the Geneva static display with a full complement of its current production aircraft, including the Global XRS and Challenger 300, as well as the Learjets 40 and 45XR.
Gulfstream is planning to display the G550, the G450 and the G200.
Raytheon Aircraft is taking the Hawker 800XP, Horizon and Premier I jets, as well as a Beechcraft King Air 350 to Geneva.
Brazil's Embraer will exhibit a Legacy in Geneva. Both the Boeing Business Jet and the rival Airbus Corporate Jetliner are likely to be standing tall on the EBACE ramp, but organizers have not yet confirmed this.
Dassault has also yet to announce its aircraft line-up for the show. It seems highly improbable that the exciting new Falcon 7X jet will arrive, because the company is preparing the trijet for its imminent first flight.
Pilatus will show its fast-selling PC-12 turboprop single. European rivals EADS Socata (with its TBM 700) and Piaggio Aero Industries (with the P.180 Avanti) are on the exhibitor list but did not confirm whether they would be bringing aircraft to the show.
Avcraft, which offers the Dornier 328 Envoy jet, is booked to exhibit at EBACE. However, with the company having filed for insolvency in a German court last month (see related story on page 91), it remains unclear whether this plan will hold.
Of the manufacturers of the new-generation very light jets, only Eclipse Aviation and Cessna so far have committed to a presence at this year's Geneva show.

Fund managers say they are becoming more comfortable with Virtus Health's doctor-owner model, as management of the fertility services provider meets investors ahead of a $450 million public float.
Under the Virtus model, doctors are consultants, rather than employees, so they retain some flexibility to maximise their take-home pay via number of cycles treated.
While this week's Virtus roadshow has been well attended, investors have quizzed management about doctor retention along with a share incentive program. "The doctor model...people might compare this to the Primary model so if there was an up-front payment I think this would be taken less comfortably," said one fund manger who wished to remain unnamed.
"There seems to be incentives for people doing the work and the share component for the doctors is small. By far the main part of doctors' pay structure is their billings and that is key."
Another fund manager said: "While the doctor model is a concern ... it seems one of the better ones than what we have seen in the past."
Virtus is backed by Quadrant Private Equity which will keep less than 10 per cent of its stake should the IPO be successful. Quadrant's retained stake in the business will be escrowed until after the 2014 full year results, and Quadrant's Marcus Darville will remain on the board for at least this period.
Virtus is aiming to raise $264 million to $291 million to list with a $401 million to $449 million market capitalisation. The indicative price range was set at $4.92 to $5.68 a share, which represented 12.5 to 14 times pro-forma 2014 net profit after tax and amortisation. The bookbuild has been set down for May 15-16, after the Federal Budget release. The company is due to hit the ASX on June 14.
Ely Griffiths partner Ben Griffiths said the market will need to get comfortable with a management team debuting into the listed space and that the corporatised healthcare model has addressed the needs of external and medico shareholders. Another issue raised by investors is the potential for Virtus to be impacted by government and policy changes. "Australia is quite generous with its IVF funding and that could change," said a fund manager.

The Yi people (own name in the Liangshan dialect: ꆈꌠ, official transcription: Nuosu (諾蘇), IPA: [nɔ̄sū];
- the older name "Lolo" or "Luǒluǒ" (倮倮) is now considered derogatory in China, though used officially in Vietnam as Lô Lô and in Thailand as Lolo [โล-โล]) are a modern ethnic group in China, Vietnam, and Thailand. Numbering 8 million, they are the seventh largest of the 55 ethnic minority groups officially recognized by the People's Republic of China. They live primarily in rural areas of Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, usually in mountainous regions. There are 3,300 Lô Lô people (1999 statistics) living in Hà Giang, Cao Bằng, and Lào Cai provinces in northeastern Vietnam.
The Yi speak Yi, a Tibeto-Burman language closely related to Burmese, which is written in the Yi script.
The Chinese government has grouped the Nisu, Nasu, Sani, Axi (阿细), Lolopo, Pu, and other peoples[citation needed] speaking more than six distinct languages with many dialects into a single group called the Yi[citation needed]. Because of this, a Yi may not be able to communicate with another Yi; and may or may not even agree that they both are Yi. Most Yi are farmers; herders of cattle, sheep and goats; and nomadic hunters. Only about one third of the Yi are literate. Most have no written language.
Although different groups of Yi people call themselves in different ways (e.g. Nuosu, Nasu, Nisu, Lolo, Lolopo, Pu, Ahsi, Sani, Acheh), the various appellations can be classified into three groups:
- Ni (ꆀ). The appellations of Nuosu, Nasu, Nisu, Nesu and other similar names are considered as derivatives of the original "ꆀ" (official transcription: nip; proximate English pronunciation: ni) with the suffix of -su, which means people with certain natures or occupations. The name of Sani is also a variety of this group. Ni, the historical self appellation of Yi people and is still widely employed in classical Yi epics, traditional Yi literatures as well as some modern Yi phrases. For instance, the modern Yi word ꆀ ꃅ (official transcription: nip mu; proximate English pronunciation: nimu or nim), which means the areas where Yi people reside, can be split into two words with ni referring to Yi people and mu meaning land. Some scholars, however, argue that the Nuosu-series appellations are from the word of "black" as they found that the word "black" in standardized northern Yi language is exactly ꆈ (official transcription: Nuo; proximate English pronunciation: noh) while Yi people in that area call themselves ꆈꌠ (official transcription: Nuosu; proximate English pronunciation: noh-su). Furthermore, it is widely believed that the Chinese name of Yi (Chinese 彝 or 夷) is derived from Ni.
- Lolo. The appellations of Lolo, Lolopu and similar names are related to the Yi people's worship to tiger, as "lo" in local Yi dialect means tiger.
- Other miscellaneous names. This group includes various other appellations of different groups of Yi. Some of them may be of other ethnic groups but recognised as Yi by the central government of the PRC. It is worth mentioning that the self appellation of "Pu" of some Yi people may be relevant to an ancient ethnic group Pu (Template:Lang-zh). In the legends of north Yi area, Yi people conquered Pu and their territory, which is northeastern part of the Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of modern day.
The Yi are animists, with elements of Daoism, shamanism and fetishism. Shamans/medicine men are known as "Bimo"ꀘꂾ (official transcription: bi mox; proximate French pronunciation: pimo), which means the master who can chant ancient documents. Bimo officiate at births, funerals, weddings and fetes. They are often seen along the street consulting ancient scripts. As animists, Yi worship the spirits of ancestors, fire, hills, trees, rocks, water, earth, sky, wind, and forests. Magic plays a major role in daily life through healing, exorcism, asking for rain, cursing enemies, blessing, divination and analysis of one's relationship with the spirits. They believe dragons protect villages against bad spirits, and demons cause diseases. However, the Yi dragon is neither similar to dragon in western culture nor the same as that in Han culture. After someone dies they sacrifice a pig or sheep at the doorway to maintain relationship with the deceased spirit.
The Nuosu religion (from the Nuosu or Nasu group in the Yi minority) distinguishes two sorts of shamans: the Bimo and the Sunyi ꌠꑊ(official transcription: su nyit; proximate French pronunciation: sougni). Bimo, who can read Yi scripts while Sunyi cannot, are the most revered and maybe also important agents in the Nuosu religion, to the point that sometimes the Nuosu religion is also called "bimo religion". While one becomes a Bimo by patrilineal descent after a time of apprenticeship or formally acknowledging an old Bimo as the teacher, a sunyi must be elected. Both can perform rituals. But only Bimo can perform rituals linked to death. For most cases, Sunyi only perform some exorcism to cure diseases. Bimo are literate too. Generally, Sunyi can only be from humble civil birth while Bimo can be of both aristocratic and humble families. In order to preserve this heritage and promote tourism, the local government helped construct a museum to house ancient artifacts.
In Yunnan, some of the Yi have been influenced by Buddhism through the Han culture. The Yi believe in numerous evil spirits. They believe that spirits cause illness, poor harvests and other misfortunes and inhabit all material things. The Yi also believe in multiple souls. At death, one soul remains to watch the grave while the other is eventually reincarnated into some living form.
In the 20th century, some Yi people in China converted to Christianity, after the arrival of medical missionaries such as Alfred James Broomhall, Janet Broomhall, Ruth Dix and Joan Wales of the China Inland Mission. According to missionary organization OMF International, the exact number of Yi Christians is not known. In 1991 it was reported that there were as many as 150,000 Yi Christians in Yunnan Province, especially in Luquan County where there are more than 20 churches.[1]
Of the over 8 million Yi people, over 4.5 million live in Yunnan Province, 2.5 million live in southern Sichuan Province, and 1 million live in the northwest corner of Guizhou Province. Nearly all the Yi live in mountainous areas, often carving out their existence on the sides of steep mountain slopes far from the cities of China.
The altitudinal differences of the Yi areas directly affect their climate and precipitation. Their striking differences have given rise to the old saying that "the weather is different a few miles away" in the Yi area. This is the primary reason why the Yis in various areas are so different from one another in the ways they make a living.[2]
Some scholars believe that the Yi are descended from the ancient Qiang people of today's western China, who are also said to be the ancestors of the Tibetan, Naxi and Qiang peoples. They migrated from southeastern Tibet through Sichuan and into the Yunnan Province, where their largest populations can be found today.
They practice a form of animism, led by a shaman priest known as the Bimaw. They still retain a few ancient religious texts written in their unique pictographic script. Their religion also contains many elements of Daoism and Buddhism.
Many of the Yi in Liangshan and northwestern Yunnan practiced a complicated form of slavery. People were split into the nuohuo or Black Yi (nobles), qunuo or White Yi (commoners), and slaves. White Yi were free and could own property and slaves but were in a way tied to a lord. Other ethnic groups were held as slaves.
Known historyEdit
Currently most of the Yi live in Liangshan of Sichuan and Chuxiong and Honghe of Yunnan. In this area, the Yuanmou Man (Homo erectus yuanmouensis) has been discovered, that have been dated back to 1.7 Ma ago. At the Lizhou relic (Chinese: 礼州遗址) near Xichang of Liangshan of 3,000 annum ago, many artifacts of Neolithic have been discovered. Although no evidence proves that these ancient cultures of stone age have direct correlation with modern Yi people, their descendants, local bronze culture, has some influence on Yi people, as the ancestors of Yi people had frequent contact and intermarriage with local tribes, such as Dian (Chinese: 滇), Qiong (Chinese: 邛) and Zuo (Chinese笮), during their southwards migration from north eastern edge of Tibetan Plateau. Today, the Yi people still call the city of Xichang as ꀒꎂ (official transcription: op rro; proximate English pronunciation: or-dro). In spite of the affix "or-", the root "dro" is believed by some scholars as related to the tribe Qiong (Chinese: 邛) as the pronunciation is quite close to the ancient pronunciation of Chinese character 邛.
During the Han dynasty, the central sovereign of China conquered the valley of Anning River, which is a tributary of Yalong River, and founded a county there named Qiongdu (Chinese: 邛都). The site is Xichang of present day and from that time onwards, Xichang has become the bridge of Chengdu and Kunming across Yi area. Since Han dynasty, Yi people have been involved in the history of China. In the north dialect of modern Yi language, Chinese Han is still called ꉌꈲ (official transcription: hxie mgat; proximate English pronunciation: henga), which is related to the Chinese word 汉家 (pinyin: hànjiā), which means household of Han.
After the Han dynasty, the Shu of the Three Kingdoms conducted several wars against the ancestors of Yi under the lead of Zhuge Liang. They defeated the king of Yi, ꂽꉼ (official transcription: mot hop; proximate English pronunciation: mokho; Chinese 孟获) and expanded their conquered territory in Yi area. After that, the Jin Dynasty succeed Shu as the suzerainty of Yi area but with weak control.
After the Jin dynasty, central China entered the era of the Southern and Northern Dynasties with frequent wars against the invading nomads from the north and lost its control of Yi and Yi area.
Although the Sui dynasty reunited China, it did not retrieve control of Yi but had close communications with Han residential spots scattered within Yi area (most along Anning River). After the Sui dynasty's mere 37 years, the situation continued in Tang dynasty. During Sui and Tang dynasty, the local aborigines of present-day Yunnan and Liangshan were distinguished by Chinese Han as Wuman (Chinese: 乌蛮, meaning black barbarian) and Baiman (Chinese: 白蛮, meaning white barbarian). Some scholars believe that Wuman is the ancestor of modern Yi while Baiman is the ancestor of modern Bai people (Chinese: 白族) of Yunnan.
The Wuman and Baiman people founded six poleis on Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. The poleis are called Zhao (Chinese: 诏) in Chinese history records with actual meaning of chieftain of a polis. In A.D. 649 the king Xinuluo (Chinese: 细奴逻) of the Mengshe Zhao (Chinese: 蒙舍诏) extended his polis into a kingdom in the name of Great Meng (Chinese: 大蒙国). The location of the Great Meng is near the Erhai Lake. Yi people believe the capital of the Great Meng was located in the area of nowaday Weishan county. In the year A.D. 737, with the support of the Tang dynasty of China, King Piluoge (Chinese: 皮罗阁) of the Great Meng united the six poleis in succession, establishing a new kingdom. As the Great Meng is the most southern polis of the six, Tang dynasty recorded the united Great Meng as Nanzhao (Chinese: 南诏), which means the polis located in the south. Although academic arguments exist, there is a popular view that the royal family of Nanzhao is Yi and the most ministers are Bai. In Weishan county of present days, the saga of King Piluoge is still on every Yi's lips.
Tibet also noted the spring of Nanzhao, which in Tibetan is called Jang. Although Tibet had successfully won the suzerainty over Nanzhao for decades, Nanzhao finally turned to Tang dynasty. At the era of King Geluofeng (Chinese 阁罗凤), who was the son of King Piluoge, the Tang dynasty performed three expeditions against Nanzhao to conquer it, but all failed.
Nanzhao existed for 165 years until A.D. 902. After 35 years of tangled warfare, Duan Siping (Chinese 段思平) of the Bai birth founded the Kingdom of Dali, succeeding the territory of Nanzhao. Most Yi of that time were under the ruling of Dali. Dali's sovereign existed for 316 years coterminous with the Song dynasty of central China, until it was conquered by Kublai Khan. During the era of Dali, Yi people lived in the territory of Dali but had little communication with the royalty of Dali.
Kublai Khan included Dali in his domain of Yuan dynasty together with Tibet. From the Yuan dynasty onwards, Yi people together with their area were an uncontroversial part of China, as Kublai Khan established Yunnan Xingsheng (Chinese: 云南行省) at current Yunnan, Guizhou and part of Sichuan. In order to enhance its sovereign over the area, the Yuan dynasty set up a dominion for Yi, Luoluo Xuanweisi (Chinese: 罗罗宣慰司), the name of which means local appeasement government for Lolos. Although technically under the rule of the Mongolian emperor, the Yi still had autonomy during the Yuan dynasty. The gulf between aristocrats and the common people increased during this time.
During the Ming dynasty the Chinese emperor expedited its cultural assimilation policy in southwestern China, spreading the policy of Gai Tu Gui Liu (Chinese: 改土归流). The governing power of many Yi feudal lords had previously been expropriated by the successors of officials assigned by the central government. With the progress of Gai Tu Gui Liu, the Yi area was dismembered into many communities both large and small, and it was difficult for the communities to communicate with each other as there were often Han-ruled areas between them.
The Kangxi Emperor of the Qing dynasty defeated Wu Sangui and took over the land of Yunnan and established a province there. When the Manchu official Ertai became the Viceroy of Yunnan and Guizhou during the era of Yongzheng Emperor, the policy of Gai Tu Gui Liu and cultural assimilation against Yi were strengthened. Yi who lived near Kunming were even forced to change their convention of traditional cremation into burial, a policy which triggered off rebellions among the Yi. These rebellions were suppressed by the Qing dynasty.
After the Opium Wars, many Christian missionaries from France and Great Britain visited the area in which the Yi lived. Although some missionaries believed that Yi of some areas such as Liangshan were not under the ruling of Qing dynasty and should be independent, most aristocrats insisted that Yi is a part of China despite of their resentment against Manchu Qing rule.
After the establishment of the PRC, several Yi autonomous administrative districts of prefecture or county level were set up in Sichuan, Yunnan, and Guizhou. With the development of traffic and telecommunications, the communications among different Yi areas have been increasing sharply.
Most Yi believe they have the same ancestor, ꀉꁌꅋꃅ(sometimes referred as ꀉꁌꐧꃅ,official transcription: axpu ddutmu / axpu jjutmu; proximate English pronunciation: apu dumu / apu jumu). It is said that Apu Dumu married three wives and had six sons: each of the wife bore two sons. In the legend, the oldest two sons leading their tribes conquered other aborigines of Yunnan and began to reside in most territory of Yunnan. The youngest two sons led their tribes eastwards and were defeated by Han. But finally they make western Guizhou their home and created the largest quantity of Yi script documents. The other two sons lead their tribes crossed Jinsha River and dwelled in Liangshan. This group had close intermarriage with local ꁍ(official transcription: pup; proximate English pronunciation: pu).
The Yi language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman Language Group of the Sino-Tibetan Language Family, and the Yis speak six dialects. Many Yis in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi know the Han (standard Chinese or Mandarin) language. The Yis used to have a syllabic script called the old Yi language, which was formed in the 13th century. It is estimated that the extant old Yi script has about 10,000 mostly logographic characters, of which 1,000 mostly syllabic characters are of everyday use. A number of works of history, literature and medicine as well as genealogies of the ruling families written in the old Yi script are still seen in most Yi areas. Many stone tablets and steles carved in the old Yi script remain intact. Since the old Yi language is not consistent in word form and pronunciation, it was reformed after liberation for use in books and newspapers.[2]
The Yi play a number of traditional musical instruments, including large plucked and bowed string instruments,[3] as well as wind instruments called bawu (巴乌) and mabu (马布).

Qld Government: stop cuts to funding for critical HIV work in the LGBT community #saveqahc #ripnroll
The Queensland Association for Healthy Communities has been stripped of its funding by the new Queensland Government.
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg has revoked every cent of the agency's $2.6 million Queensland Health funding.
This will mean an end to our health promotion work with gay men and the loss of 26 of its 35 staff.
We need your help to keep Queensland's only LGBT health agency in business.
Healthy Communities, which began as the Queensland AIDS Council in 1984, helps prevent the spread of HIV and STIs by supporting the health of gay men and the wider LGBT community.
It won international accolades last year when its rip&roll posters were removed from bus shelters.
1. Join this event and invite your friends to support Healthy Communities. Tell people online how the organisation has helped you. Post pictures and video. Use the Twitter hashtag #SaveQAHC
2. Contact the Health Minister Lawrence Springborg (tel: 3234 1191
email: email@example.com ) and Premier Campbell Newman (tel: 3224 4500 email: firstname.lastname@example.com ) and your local MP ( http://apps.aec.gov.au/eSearch/LocalitySearchResults.aspx?filter=4556&filterby=Postcode ) and call for our funding to be reinstated.
3. Encourage your friends, family, colleagues and community members to take creative action.
4. Express your views online, write to newspapers, on forums, the radio, everywhere!
5. Donate to our fighting fund: www.healthycommunities.org.au
What will be lost if our funding is stopped:
- No one-to-one support about HIV & safe sex
- No HIV prevention skills building workshops
- No condom & lube distribution
- No LGBT awareness training for health & community services
- No sexual health information line
- No support for reducing or giving up cigarettes or illicit drugs
- No printed resources on HIV prevention and sexual health for gay/msm
- No social marketing campaigns like 'rip&roll' promoting safe sex
- No peer education or volunteering
- No outreach at pubs, clubs, events and SOPVs
- No sexual health promotion in LGBT magazines and other media
- No support to LGBT groups and networks
- No participation in LGBT community festivals
- No voice for LGBT people on HIV prevention and related LGBT health issues
- Hon Lawrence Springborg MP (QLD)
- Attorney General Jarrod Bleijie
- Premier Campbell Newman
We as a community are saddened and devastated by this action to cut the funding for Queensland Association for Healthier Communities and urge you to reconsider this action.
What does this mean? An end to their health promotion work with gay men and the LGBTQI community with a loss of 26 of its 35 staff.
Queensland Association for Healthier Communities, which began as the Queensland AIDS Council in 1984, helps prevent the spread of HIV and STIs by supporting the health of gay men and the wider LGBTQI community., for nearly 30 years this organisation has helped so many people and done a great service to the community plus surrounding support groups and orgs.
The 2 Spirits Program, part of Healthy Communities – the only program in Queensland focusing on the sexual health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander gay men and sistergirls, is now in jeopardy also.
The 2 Spirits Program currently provides groundbreaking work in both urban and remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, providing crucial work on HIV, STI and other blood borne virus (BBV) prevention for gay men and sistergirls in Queensland.
We will fight this by all means, to lose such an organisation like this puts a big ripple effect within our community and many people will not get the help they so solely deserve.
De-funding because of a rise in HIV diagnoses is not a valid reason.
Please reconsider your action.

Douglas K. Bischoff Assumes New Role of Associate Dean for the Adjunct Faculty
Coral Gables (May 07, 2010) —
Professor Douglas K. Bischoff has been appointed Associate Dean for the Adjunct Faculty at UM Law. In his new position, Bischoff said he will work "to better integrate members of the adjunct faculty into the family and fabric of the law school."
"This is a way of enhancing our appreciation and the effectiveness of our adjunct professors," said Bischoff. "These are very busy, in-demand people. We want to be a resource for them."
Dean Patricia D. White said Bischoff is uniquely qualified to work on behalf of the adjunct faculty.
"We are fortunate at UM to have an exceptional adjunct faculty of talented lawyers and judges who contribute immeasurably to our curriculum as well as to the well-being of our students," she said. "It is difficult to integrate them as fully as we'd like into the daily life of the school because they all have significant responsibilities in their principal jobs."
"It is important to have someone like Doug Bischoff, who is himself an extraordinary lawyer and long-time member of the Miami legal community, to help us do all that we can to integrate them, to make the logistics of teaching for us as easy as possible for them and to anticipate their needs and concerns."
Bill Sklar, a real estate lawyer with the West Palm Beach office of Edwards Angell Palmer & Dodge and an adjunct professor at UM Law for 30 years, considers Bischoff's appointment a significant step forward.
"I think it will improve the level and type of communication between the regular faculty and the adjunct faculty," Sklar said. That, he added, will better coordinate how adjuncts fit into the law school's curriculum and activities, and Bischoff is "extremely well-equipped to do that."
Bischoff, a real estate attorney with more than 30 years of legal experience, served as head of the real estate departments in the Miami offices of Holland & Knight and Morgan, Lewis, & Bockius, LLP. Bischoff joined The Related Group in 2007 as senior vice president and general counsel, responsible for the oversight and coordination of all legal matters for the company.
An adjunct professor at UM Law since 1983, Bischoff has directed the Graduate Program in Real Property Development since 1999, a program that has garnered national recognition over the years.
This year, the law school launched a new Joint J.D./LL.M. Program in Real Property Development and a Distance Learning Program. The new Joint J.D./LL.M. Program offers students an opportunity to earn both degrees in seven semesters by taking graduate level real estate courses during their third year with 12 LL.M. credit hours counting toward both degrees. The Real Property Development program also launched an online Distance Learning Program to offer a unique educational experience to law students around the world. Classes are delivered to students' desk top within twenty four hours of the "live" presentation.

The new Roma boss is determined to keep the Italy international at the Stadio Olimpico, despite frequent rumors of a move to the Premier League.
The Giallorossi midfielder endured a difficult 2012-13 campaign, with former coach Zdenek Zeman falling out with the player, leading to his exclusion from the starting XI. Garcia, though, who moved to the Italian capital from Lille in June, is eager to ensure the 29-year-old Italy international stays put.
"He is a great player and surely it's better to have him with us than to see him leave," Garcia told reporters.
Both Pablo Osvaldo and Marquinhos have also been linked wtih moves away from the Olimpico this summer, with the latter attracting attention from Barcelona, but Garcia says there is no update on their futures.
"They are still with us, we would like to keep the best players. But if they were to leave, we will replace them," Garcia said.
Roma, which boasts U.S. international Michael Bradley and will play against the MLS All-Stars on July 31 at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Kan., finished a disappointing sixth place in Serie A last season, failing to qualify for the Europa League.

 We're new at this.  As the program is finishing up its third semester of instruction we are leaving our explorer phase. Now that we've hit 100 students and 5 faculty, we're shifting into pioneers. Next year there'll be the trace of settlers. Truly, though, this school is in a design wilderness. The next nearest architecture school is 3 hours away.

 We're charged with building a library, studios, offices--everything but shops. Those doors were swung wide open by a wonderful throwback palace for a once thriving industrial arts program, now held onto by IA's academic offspring "Construction and Industrial Management". In this shop we can, as the course at MIT claims, make almost anything. Upon arrival we discovered IA natives with skills in both Blacksmithing and CNC 5-Axis Milling. We've begun an excellent relationship with this academic unit and they've helped us find critical traction in our expectation of a performance based curriculum rooted in the flowering moment o...

A letter in the Voice of the People "Like Scrooge" (Commentary, Sept. 23) says, "Nearly two-thirds of these people still pay federal payroll taxes."
The Statistical Abstract of the United States says that 73 percent of all the taxes the federal government collects come from wages withheld by employers — the employers write the actual checks on their bank accounts, not the employees. Sure, the employer occasionally reminds the employees that if they weren't forced to do this under jail threat, they would have given the money to the employee.

Tiger Woods and Arnold Palmer Fight Off Thugs?
Tiger Woods' tumultuous fall from grace may as well be a distant memory in the golfer's historic career.
By winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational yesterday afternoon, (March 25) Woods returned to being ranked the no.1 golfer in the world. He finished the course with a 2-under 70, capping a 2-shot win over Justin Rose. The victory is his third of the PGA Tour season and eighth overall at the course, tying him for the record of most wins at a single event.
"It's a byproduct of hard work, patience and getting back to winning golf tournaments," Woods said after he won.
In other news, Tiger and Arnie recently beat up a group of ruthless trophy-stealing thugs…

Hyperthermia as a Treatment for Bladder Cancer
Hyperthermia as a Treatment for Bladder Cancer
Modern cancer care is characterized by a focus on organ-sparing multi-modal treatments. In the case of non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer this is particularly true; treatment is focused on reducing the frequency of low-risk recurrences and preventing high-risk progression. Deep regional hyperthermia is an oncologic therapeutic modality that can help achieve these two goals. The combination of hyperthermia with chemotherapy and radiotherapy has improved patient outcomes in several tumor types. In this review, we highlight the biology of therapeutic fever-range hyperthermia, discuss how hyperthermia is administered and dosed, demonstrate how heat can be added to other treatment regimens, and summarize the data supporting the role of hyperthermia in the management of bladder cancer.
The recognition of a possible therapeutic benefit of local hyperthermia on the biology of cancer cells dates back for many decades.[1,2] In the time since this discovery, the delivery of hyperthermia has evolved, along with the ability to combine it with other treatment modalities; there has also been continuing elucidation of hyperthermia's many mechanisms of action. Much of the limitation in the use of therapeutic hyperthermia in the treatment of cancer has been due simply to the inability to effectively deliver locoregional hyperthermia to the target tissue and to monitor temperatures as the treatment is given. The recent development of more sophisticated heat delivery systems and cutting edge thermal dose modeling tools has allowed researchers to better direct the energy required to produce hyperthermia to the sites of desired therapeutic effect. Consequently, phase II and III investigations have been conducted and have demonstrated that hyperthermia can benefit patients with certain types of tumors.
In general, hyperthermia is used as either a radiosensitizer or chemosensitizer and has been part of a combined treatment protocol for tumors in superficial locations (eg, melanoma, head and neck cancer, breast cancer) or in locations where heat monitoring is easier (eg, cervical and rectal cancers, sarcoma).[3] The recognition that urothelial carcinomas demonstrate improved chemosensitivity when heated makes the use of hyperthermia to treat bladder cancer quite appealing.
Effects of Hyperthermia on the Cancer Cell
The effect of hyperthermia on tumor cells is known to be multifactorial in nature (Table 1). Direct cell kill can occur with temperatures above 40.5°C, but this represents only a part of the benefit. Hyperthermia also cooperates with the myriad cellular, molecular, and metabolic derangements that occur just outside the direct heat kill zone to promote tumor necrosis and apoptosis. Supplemented by multimodal therapies such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy, a synergistic relationship, termed thermosensitization, can be created.
There are two phases of direct cytotoxicty associated with heat exposure.[4] The first phase is one of linear metabolic arrest that represents a period of reversible injury. The second phase is irreversible cytotoxicity and is easier to achieve with increasing temperatures; this more pronounced cytotoxicity is also related to the duration of exposure (Figure). There is a clear dose-response relationship between temperature and cell death, and the transition from the linear to the exponential phase of cytotoxicity occurs more easily at temperatures above 43°C. Although the requisite thermal dose for exponential cell death varies among tumor types, the experimental threshold required for protein denaturation and cell membrane disruption occurs at a dose of 140 kcal/mol.[5,6]
Supplementing this direct cytotoxicity is the observation that nuclear fragility is greatest during the S and M phases of cell life. The G1 and G2 phases are more resistant to cell death, a phenomenon that is thought to be due in part to the expression of adaptive heat-shock proteins.[7] The disruption of cellular transmembrane proteins involved in homeostatic ionic transport combines with architectural damage to ultimately yield cellular blebbing, which is characteristic of apoptosis. In addition, RNA synthesis and DNA synthesis are diminished at temperatures above 42°C. Although RNA synthesis recovers quickly after termination of heat exposure, DNA synthesis remains inhibited for a longer period due to the heat-induced unfolding of hydrophobic segments of protein, rendering them insoluble.[4]
Hyperthermia also has numerous effects on the vascular supply to the tumor. Acidosis leading to intravascular thrombosis, direct corpuscular injury, and the differential response of tumor endothelium are thought to be possible mechanisms of heat-related vascular injury.[8] Postulating that normal cells retain a superior ability to thermoregulate, Manfred von Ardenne proposed that whole-body hyperthermia (WBH) would create a peripheral hyperemia that, when combined with peripheral vasodilatory agents, could create an adjacent tissue vascular steal effect that would result in normal tissues outcompeting tumoral tissues for blood flow, resulting in intratumoral lactic acidosis and enhanced cytotoxicity.[9]
While the study of the tumor microenvironment demonstrates multifactorial vascular injury at temperatures above 43°C, maintaining such temperatures in vivo has proven much more difficult. Several other physiologic processes that are activated at sub-lethal temperatures have subsequently been uncovered; these help explain the clinical benefits of hyperthermia that are observed in the sublethal 41°-43°C range. One of these possible explanations is that the effects of heat can accumulate (ie, a cumulative thermal isoeffect dose effect) and induce cellular mechanisms of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Additionally, moderate hyperthermia actually increases tumor blood flow, thereby rendering the cells more susceptible to chemotherapy or radiation therapy.[10]
One mechanism by which the cell attempts to protect itself is thought to be the heat-induced expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs). These are a heterogeneous group of proteins that range in size from 40 to 100 kDa and that are expressed quickly through activation of response elements triggered by heat and other cellular stressors. HSPs are molecular chaperones, whose key duties are to protect cellular proteins from harm, to assist in their proper folding, and to shuttle them to appropriate locations in the cell (such as to sites of degradation). They do this by indiscriminately binding to hydrophobic segments of protein exposed as a result of denaturation; this prevents irreversible interactions between denatured proteins from occurring. HSPs thus protect the cell from heat and contribute to thermotolerance. Although HSP synthesis is induced by moderate degrees of hyperthermia, the production of HSPs is inhibited at higher temperatures; the exact temperature at which inhibition occurs is dependent on the cell type.[11]
