SEA OF GALILEE (April 10, 2013) - The pilgrims took a tour boat onto the Sea of Galilee to see the places along the shore where Jesus preached and performed miracles as well as experience the sea where the apostles lived and worked and experienced the storm on the sea.
Cardinal Seán and a group of 29 priests of the Archdiocese of Boston have traveled on an Easter pilgrimage to the Holy Land this week, and they're bringing the readers of TheGoodCatholicLife.com blog along with them.
On the third day of their pilgrimage, the group celebrated Mass at the Church of the Beatitudes; took a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee; visited Capernaum, where Jesus began his ministry; went to Caesarea Philippi, where Jesus named Peter the rock on which he would build His Church; went to the Church of the Multiplication of Loaves and Fishes; and more.
All this week, our colleague George Martell is traveling with the pilgrimage, embedded with the Cardinal and his priests so we can bring you photos, blogs, videos, and audio reports from the Holy Land from the pilgrims at such places as the Basilica of the Annunciation, Mount Carmel, the Sea of Galilee, the Church of the Transfiguration, Qumran, the Mount of Olives, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Upper Room, and more. This once in a lifetime opportunity to walk in the footsteps of Jesus with Cardinal Seán and the Archdiocese's priests as an Easter retreat experience.

Farmer in happy mood receives improved cassava stems for multiplication from IITA/CTA at Kwali, Abuja in Nigeria.
personalmente odio este deporte
pero se me ocurrio la idea de este montaje y ya que se me presento la oportunidad...
From the "Little School House" in the Pioneer Village at the La Porte (Indiana) County Fair.
Have any of you used or familiar with "Pike's Pyramid?" It was used in the 1830s to teach multiplication tables, squares and square roots, fractions, and division. This can be extended beyond 10.

"Within our lifetimes, we've marveled as biologists have managed to look at ever smaller and smaller things. And astronomers have looked further and further into the dark night sky, back in time and out in space. But maybe the most mysterious of all is neither the small nor the large: it's us, up close. Could we even recognize ourselves, and if we did, would we know ourselves? What would we say to ourselves? What would we learn from ourselves? What would we really like to see if we could stand outside ourselves and look at us?"
"I send the enclosed picture of me with three of my pets. The big boy is Dick Washington, my right-hand man, who is full of importance, but has travelled and feels as if he had seen the world. He is incorrigibly slow and stupid about learning, but reads bunglingly in the Testament, does multiplication sums on the slate, and can write a letter after a fashion.
The little girl with the handkerchief on her head is Amoretta - bright and sharp as a needle. She reads fluently in the Testament, spells hard and easy words in four syllables, and ciphers as far as nine times twelve on the slate.
The other child is Maria Wyne, who is very bright in arithmetic, but very dull and slow in learning to read.... Amoretta's head kerchief is put on as the candidates for baptism wear them."
~ Laura Towne, 1866
Laura Matilda Towne (May 3, 1825 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – February 22, 1901, in St. Helena Island, South Carolina) was an abolitionist and educator. She was best known for forming the first freedmen's schools.
She was born into a wealthy family and was raised in Philadelphia, hearing sermons about the abolition of slavery by her minister, William Henry Furness at the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia. She graduated from the Women's Medical College of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, where she was educated as a homeopathic physician. She was also a teacher and a dedicated abolitionist.
In 1861, the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina fell to the Union army. Faced with defeat, the entire white population fled, leaving their homes, belongings, and ten thousand slaves. Towne answered the call for volunteers and arrived on the Sea Islands in April 1862, at the age of 37, one of the first Northern women to go south to work during the Civil War.
With the help of her friend Ellen Murray, she founded the Penn Center on St. Helena Island, the first school for newly-freed slaves in the United States. The school was named, as Towne said, "for William Penn, that great lover of liberty." The school started with nine adult students and operated out of the back room of a plantation house.
Charlotte Forten (1837-1914) was the first northern African-American schoolteacher to go south to teach former slaves. She arrived on St. Helena Island in 1862 and worked with Laura Towne fro two years.
After the war, Towne remained in South Carolina, continuing her emphasis on education and equal opportunities for all people, regardless of skin color. Her success as an educator had everything to do with her love for her students. She passionately believed that there were no limitations they could not overcome, but she also insisted on good behavior and hard work.
In 1868 Towne and Murray purchased Frogmore Plantation house and enlarged it. This is where they made their home and remained there until their deaths.
Towne and Murray spent the next forty years working with the freed slaves, developing their trust, providing them with medical care, teaching them to read and write, and fighting for their land rights. Town and Murray eventually adopted several African American children and raised them as their own.
She particularly admired the African music incorporated in their church worship. It had different rhythmic patterns and a style that was formed from the West African culture. She was able to blend her liberal faith with that of the Africans tribal faith to appreciate both forms of worship.
The Penn School was supported in part by the Pennsylvania Freedmen's Relief Association, later by the Benezet Society of Germantown, Pennsylvania, and later still by various members of Towne's family. Towne herself lived on her modest inheritance and worked for free.
Laura Towne died February 22, 1901, at Frogmore on St. Helena Island. She was buried at the Laurel Hill Cemetery in Philadelphia.
After Towne's death, Penn School was transferred to Hampton Institute, at which time it began operating as the Penn Normal, Industrial, and Agricultural School.
Recognized as a National Historic Landmark, the Penn Center trained generations of students, including U.S. Congressman Robert Smalls (1839-1915).
During the Civil Rights era the Penn Center served as a training ground for non-violent civil disobedience by welcoming Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr..
Now a National Historic Landmark, the Penn Center celebrated 150 years education, leadership and service.

Genome dynamics and stability are the ne plus ultra requirements for cellular life. No matter whether life began with metabolism, with self-replicating genetic molecules, or as a cooperative chemical phenomenon, all cells and viruses maintain a genome capable of multiplication, variation and heredity. A population of living entities with these properties will evolve by natural selection, and while modern metabolism supplies the monomers from which genomes (i.e. replicators) are made, genomes alter the kinds of chemical reactions occurring in metabolism (Maynard Smith and Szathmary 1997). This book deals with DNA repair and replication. Together with two other planned volumes,one on transposable elements and genome dynamics and another on recombination and meiosis as a key issue of the metazoan germline development, this volume introduces the conceptual frame work of the series. An earlier review on the classic monograph Mobile DNA (Berg and Howe 1989) was entitled“On the Impossibility of Knowing More. ”It states:“This big book indeed tells us everything but says nothing. It provides no conceptual framework as to what the burgeoning bulk of molecular data means, not out of intent but because it is swept along by an attitude found increasingly in science of ‘never mind the quality, feel the width’ ... the book is essentially uninformative regarding the biological importance of transposable elements in ontogeny and phylogeny” (Dover 1990). The present book series tries to circumvent such criticism. Of course, there have been milder opinions of the monumental Mobile DNA book as well (Brookfield 1989; Fincham 1989). Actually, the 2002 publication of its successor Mobile DNA II (Craig et al. 2002) impressively demonstrates the swift progress int his significant research field, which now not only largely addresses questions of evolutionary relevance but pragmatically feeds additional knowledge applied in human gene therapy or helps to understand the somatic maturation of the immune system by V(D)J recombination. The latter actually demonstrates the closeness of transposable element transposition to DNA repair as the V(D)J recombination reaction is completed by the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) DNA repair pathway in lymphocyte development where the DNA double-strand break (DSB) is generated through the transposase (i.e. endonuclease) activity of an ancient transposable element. This transposon inserted into an ancestral vertebrate genome some 450 million years ago(Yuetal.1999). In line with this important interface between a vertebrate transposon and DSB repair, the second chapter of Part II of this book reports on asimilar relationship of the Drosophila P elements triggering DSBs and facilitating the understanding of the mechanisms of replication-dependent DSB repair. Other molecularly fossilized but experimentally revitalized transposable elements which promise to be o fbiomedical relevance are planned for an upcoming book volume. As Carl Woese recently said, it seems to be about time that biology makes a choice between the comfortable path of continuing to follow molecular biology’s lead or the more refreshing one seeking a new and inspiring vision of the living world (Woese 2004). To accomplish this is my goal with the book series Genome Dynamics and Stability, where this first volume is dedicated to integrative aspects of replication and DNA repair providing an overview of some facets and perspectives of genome integrity. DNA integrity is relevant for all organisms, and therefore it opens avenues of curiosity ranging from viroids in applied plant research to grasping biodiversity. This vision however must include pragmatic aspects of biomedical relevance as well. The book at hand is entitled Genome Integrity: Facets and Perspectives. It contains a rather broad spectrum of chapters representing key aspects of DNA repair with a slight bias towards DSB repair as justified by its importance. Actually, every chapter is self-sufficient and could serve as an independent entry point to the whole book. The sequence chosen starts with three chapters introducing replication as a fundamental aspect of life. Here, the first chapter gives a general introduction to replication worth to be read by undergraduate students as well as academics, while the second chapter attempts to present a concept towards an anatomy of the eukaryotic replication fork. The third chapter adds the aspect of human diseases to the two more fundamental aspects in Part I. Replication is then linked by two interface-chapters in Part II to the world of DSB repair. The second chapter of Part II first reviews the history of the discovery of the physical nature of the gene and gene mutations. Exploiting gene targeting as an experimental, technical pillar, it attempts to compose the different models of DSB repair into a unifying synthesis. This joins Part II with four key aspects of DSB repair representing Part III. These four key aspects review the structure and function of the Rad50/SMC protein complexes in chromosome biology, further focus on the simplest pathway for DSB repair, i.e. non-homologous endjoining (NHEJ), and focus on a central gatekeeper crucial to avoiding cancer development, i.e. p53, and the most complex role of chromatin in DSB repair. The chapter on DNA base damage recognition in Part IV introduces DNA repair pathways involving one-strand lesions and their pleiotropic interactions with cell physiological functions, such as cell cycle, apoptosis and examples of major human diseases. While DSBs can be triggered and their repair can be studied at precisely defined positions on nucleotide level within a given chromosome, DNA damage introduced through radiation and other genotoxic stress factors follows a slightly different research lead. This is the common theme of the four chapters in Part IV. Ion irradiation as a tool to reveal tracts of damage throughout the eukaryote nucleus reminds us of cloud or Wilson chamber experiments in atomic physics detecting elementary particles of ionizing radiation. Here, in the final chapter of Part V, the tract of damage in a cloud of chromatin is monitored using antibodies to proteins characteristic of specific DNA repair pathways, as discussed in the last chapter of Part III. The four final chapters are important for many reasons, ranging from a significance for irradiation treated cancer patients, or victims of the Chernobyl disaster to the exposure to cosmic radiation of astronauts on long-term space missions. The original idea forthis book came from the 8thmeeting of the DNA Repair Network in Ulm, Germany, and would not have been possible without the support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für DNA-Reparaturforschung (DGDR). Here I would like to mention especially Jürgen Thomale, Alexander Bürkle, Lisa Wiesmüller, Bernd Kaina and Friederike Eckardt-Schupp, who supported the initial idea and acted in the background.Further I would like to thank the anonymous referees for doing a great job in peer reviewing and improving the manuscripts. I also thank the University of Heidelberg, which gave access to their electronic journal collection. Last but not least, I have to thank Sabine Schreck (Springer, Heidelberg) without whom I could never have engaged in this project. Ursula Gramm(Springer,Heidelberg) and Michael Reinfarth (LETeXGbR, Leipzig) did a fine job copye diting all manuscripts and the Springer team succeeded well in establishing the SpringerLink OnlineFirst version of this bookseries, which provides authors withmore flexibility in the individual handling of their contributions.

MULTIPLICATION is vexation,
Division is as bad;
The Rule of Three doth puzzle me,
And Fractions drive me mad.
