...fact, the search for an AIDS vaccine has been thwarted over and over by the tricky, unexpected nature of HIV, whose behavior is only now coming to be understood. The human immune system does not appear to develop an effective response to HIV simply by being exposed to a virus surface protein or two - an approach that has worked for many other vaccines in the past. A hepatitis B shot, for example, contains rearranged, nonpathogenic bits of the virus that causes the liver disease. The body produces antibodies in response to the vaccine, conferring immunity to the live virus...
...widows appear in the first image of Agnes Varda’s exhibition “Les Veuves de Noirmoutier” (“The Widows of Noirmoutier”) at the Carpenter Center’s Sert Gallery. Instead, just a table, long and bare, stands on an empty beach. Without human presence, the table looks out of place and useless, as if its only purpose were to disrupt the stretched smoothness of the coast. As the widows trickle in and out of the next four photographs, they circle around the table, leaning on it and then looking...
...Elior's theory has landed like a bombshell in the cloistered world of biblical scholarship. James Charlesworth, director of the Dead Sea Scrolls project at Princeton Theological Seminary and an expert on Josephus, says it is not unusual that the word Essenes does not appear in the scrolls. "It's a foreign label," he tells TIME. "When they refer to themselves, it's as 'men of holiness' or 'sons of light.' " Charlesworth contends that at least eight scholars in antiquity refer to the Essenes. One proof of Essene authorship of the Dead Sea Scrolls, he says, is the large number...
...preoccupied with other things besides algebra or sentence diagramming. If students spend these awkward years in single-sex rather than coeducational classrooms, the majority of those distractions are instantly eliminated. They can learn and focus in a comfortable environment in which they need not worry about the way they appear to members of the opposite sex. By surrounding students with others undergoing the same bizarre transformation, single-sex classrooms provide an atmosphere as conducive to self-exploration and self-understanding as to undistracted learning, an essential component to gender relations of any kind...
Unfortunately for developers like him, that does not appear to be forthcoming. The central government, in the just completed National People's Congress, offered new subsidies only to create more "affordable" housing for lower-income citizens and stiffed the more high-end developers, despite a fierce, behind-the-scenes campaign to press for help among big property developers. In fact, the outcome - more subsidized housing (about $4.8 billion worth) for relatively low-income citizens - is exactly what most developers didn't want to happen, because they look at the lower cost housing as just more competition in an already glutted...
