ABSTRACT: Jesus of Nazareth underwent Jewish and Roman trials, was flogged, and was sentenced to death by crucifixion. The scourging produced deep stripelike lacerations and appreciable blood loss, and it probably set the stage for hypovolemic shock as evidenced by the fact that Jesus was too weakened to carry the crossbar (patibulum) to Golgotha. At the site of crucifixion his wrists were nailed to the patibulum, and after the patibulum was lifted onto the upright post, (stipes) his feet were nailed to the stipes. The major pathophysiologic effect of crucifixion was an interference with normal respirations. Accordingly, death resulted primarily...

12:01 PM Saturday, February 25th: I received a tip from a well informed source that Trump would be dining at the BLT Steakhouse inside his Trump hotel at approximately 6 PM that evening. I had seen the president dine in the restaurant before following a campaign event held at the property in October. I assumed he would take his regular table, a circular velvet one in the back on the second level of the steakhouse. I called and made a reservation for the balcony level. I wagered that if the president did not show up, at least we would get...

There was a B&W TV show I saw in the sixties set in the ETO in WW2 where Germans had hijacked an American convoy of trucks. They were hiding in the back with American drivers. One truck was stopped at a checkpoint and the driver said to the guard that everything was fine "But we got erryjays in the uctrays". The guard didn't understand this, let the convoy start through and mentioned it to one of the other guards who shouted "Jerries in the trucks!" and opened up with a Thompson. I have searched the net for "Combat' and "The...

Folks across the Nation have been asking us what happened to Colorado regarding a rash of new highly- restrictive firearm laws and with the promise of legislators of more to come in 2014. Here is how it really happened. Sniveling first: This white paper comes from firsthand knowledge. We know personally, have met with and gathered facts with, from, and about many of the players in this mess. We have lived in Colorado for decades and have been directly involved in fighting against previous and recent anti-Second Amendment actions by our newly elected democrat majority Colorado State Legislature and governor....

The Passion of Christ from a Medical Point of View C. Truman Davis, M.D., M.S., Arizona Medicine Vol. 22, No. 3, March 1965 In this paper, I shall discuss some of the physical aspects of the passion, or suffering, of Jesus Christ. We shall follow Him from Gethsemane through His trial, His scourging, His path along the Via Dolorosa, to His last dying hours on the cross. I became interested in this about a year ago when I read an account of the crucifixion in Jim Bishop's book, THE DAY CHRIST DIED. I suddenly realized that I had taken the...

-snip- President Obama's Department of Health and Human Services had sought to dismiss the suit challenging so-called POMS rules that say seniors who withdraw from Medicare Part A must also surrender their Social Security benefits. (Part A covers hospital and outpatient services.) The judge ruled the plaintiffs have standing to contest their claim on the merits. -snip- In her ruling this week, the judge said that "neither the statute nor the regulation specifies that Plaintiffs must withdraw from Social Security and repay retirement benefits in order to withdraw from Medicare." Article I of the Constitution gives Congress sole power to...

Rick Hills beat me to the punch, and called our attention to the "preposterously unconstitutional" proposal in Connecticut that would impose on the Catholic Church new internal-governance structures. As one commenter put it, the proposal -- even if is Alien & Sedition Acts-ish in its unconstitutionality -- does at least have the benefit of spicing up the law-and-religion conversation, which is, I suppose, always in danger of falling into the "what, another holiday display?" doldrums. I don't have, at present, anything to add to Rick's critique, except to shamelessly report that it is an animating theme of my current book...

The Judiciary Committee of the Connecticut General Assembly is now considering a bill to re-organize the governance of the Roman Catholic Church. I do not mean simply that the Assembly is considering an ostensibly secular bill that has some subtle and insidious purpose to target the Roman Catholic Church and is, therefore, unconstitutional under Church of Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah. The Assembly placed the purpose of the bill right in the title: It is "An Act Modifying Corporate Laws Relating to Certain Religious Corporations," and it provides that "[a] corporation" that is "organized in connection with any...

Snip. The measure, which was raised as a committee bill by the Democratic co-chairs of the influential judiciary committee, would allow the finances of local parishes to be run by lay councils and would essentially remove power from Catholic pastors, who would serve in an advisory role. Opponents say the bill is clearly unconstitutional and would violate the First Amendment regarding the right to freedom of religion. After an outcry over the bill over the weekend, Rep. Michael P. Lawlor and Sen. Andrew McDonald said Monday that they are not advocating for the meaure. A spokesman for McDonald said the...

CNA STAFF, Apr 9, 2008 / 05:55 pm (CNA).- Today the group Voice of the Faithful (VOTF) ran an advertisement in the New York Times in anticipation of Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the United States next week. In an email interview with VOTF leaders, CNA was able to discover what exactly the group means by calling for “structural change” within the Church. The Wednesday full-page advertisement in the New York Times is part of a larger campaign VOTF is conducting to try and advance their view that lay people are not well represented in the Catholic Church. As of...

To the Apostles and disciples gathered with him that night in the Upper Room, Jesus said, “one of you will betray me…” Shocked at the statement, the disciples began to ask among themselves who it might be…” Now, of course, in manifold ways this very same mystery of betrayal has continued on within the life of the Church privately and publicly down throughout the centuries… And so it is today in Connecticut. The web page of The Diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut reads: Catholics across the State of Connecticut mobilize to fight the irrational, unlawful, and bigoted Proposed Bill #1098/2009 A...
