ROUSES POINT - The remains of historic Fort Montgomery may be overlooked by those crossing the bridge from Vermont to New York on a regular basis, but they've captured the attention of one organization.
The Preservation League of New York State has named the fort to its "Seven to Save" list, which identifies endangered historic properties. The recent addition of Fort Montgomery to the list means the nonprofit organization will provide "targeted support" for the fort and the other properties on the list, working with local groups to protect them.
The news came as a pleasant surprise to Victor T. Podd, Boca Raton, Fla., who owns the property with his brother, Stephen. The Montreal natives purchased the property in the 1980s to relocate their plastics manufacturing company, Powertex, which is fully-operational on the south end of the property today. Podd said he and his brother have always wanted to see the remainder of the property developed and the fort restored, though neither have found the time to undertake such a monumental project, he said.
"We had looked at possibly doing some type of marina development, condos and so on, but we are just so busy with our plastics business and expanding that, we've never pursued it any further," said Podd.
Not long after it was purchased by the Podds, the 365-acre portion of the property where Fort Montgomery stands was put up for sale. Unsuccessful, it was taken off the market and not actively marketed again until about three years ago, said Podd. The most recent attempt to sell the property has been through the popular on-line auction Web site, eBay. However, listing the property for even as low as $3 million has sparked little interest in the financially-troubled real estate market.
While he would like to see a private developer come in to restore the fort and develop the parcel's one-mile waterfront on Lake Champlain, Podd said he sees government ownership being a more likely reincarnation for the property.

"Stories Behind the Story"
On September 23, Mrs. Shirley R. Lee delivered the "Stories Behind the Story" presentation based upon her four years of researching the history of public education and school desegregation in Lunenburg County. During the course of her research, she collected more than 100 photos and other documents which were donated to the Lunenburg County Historical Society. Her book, Trails and Trailblazers: History of Public Education and School Desegregation in Lunenburg County, Virginia 1870-1970 is expected to be published in 2015. It examines and highlights the events of yesteryear surrounding public education in Lunenburg; through the eyes of former educators, students, and citizens during that period. The well-attended event was sponsored by the College of Education and Human Services. Mrs. Lee received her Master's Degree in School Administration and Supervision from Longwood College in 1985.

This project is a unique opportunity for
folks to participate in a cross-industry, cross-sectoral
effort to explore what will be deployed by whom, where,
when, how, and why. The goal is to
educate policy makers, but also to use the Academy as a
neutral meeting ground in which folks from different
quarters of the economy can explore mutual interests and
come to understand better what others are doing.
2101 Constitution Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20418
Call for White Papers: Private Investment and Federal NII
The NII 2000 Steering Committee-a group of high-level executives
and distinguished academicians-seeks white papers from academia,
businesses, foundations, industry, interest groups, trade associations
and other interested parties on topics relevant to NII technology
deployment. The Committee is charged by the Technology Policy
Working Group (TPWG) of the federal Information Infrastructure Task
Force with a year-long course of activities to develop a baseline
understanding regarding what technologies are to be deployed when,
where, and by whom. The project is being coordinated by the
Computer Science and Telecommunications Board (CSTB) and is
drawing upon inputs from multiple industries, sectors, organizations,
and individual experts. A list of NII 2000 Steering Committee
members is attached.
All white papers will be made available to federal NII decision
makers and be considered for discussion at a Spring Forum in
Washington, D.C., May 23-24, 1995. White paper authors will have
the opportunity to revise their papers after the Spring Forum. All
papers-regardless of whether they are selected for discussion at the
Spring Forum-will be presented to the government and will
contribute to the Steering Committee's final NII 2000 report to TPWG
and the public.
Responding to the Call
In keeping with its charge, the NII 2000 Steering Committee seeks
properly documented discussions with quantitative evidence/analysis
on technical, financial, and economic aspects of technology
deployment issues and prospects for the next five to seven years.
Issues of particular interest to the Committee include:
Architecture and facilities
Bandwidth capacity available to and from: government (all
levels), corporations (domestic & international), small
businesses and residences; also mobile users of portable
Interoperability & openness: dimensions, barriers and
Interactivity & symmetry (i.e., relative support for two-way
Internetworking & interconnection regarding different kinds of
networks and services
Public networks, private networks, virtual private networks
Enabling technologies (e.g., end-user devices, interfaces, and
Recovery of carrier costs (facilities and/or services) in an open-
network environment
Middleware technologies/capabilities: e.g., mechanisms such as
digital signatures, encryption or search agents that protect intellectual
property, privacy, security; directory services
Expected capabilities for digital libraries, distributed
collaboration, software agents, smart cards, telecommuting,
video delivery (on-demand & near on-demand), multimedia
Expected attributes and implementation of electronic
kiosks/public access facilities
Technology deployment issues affecting a particular domain
(e.g., education, finance, manufacturing, transportation) which
may have implications for other domains (e.g., establishing
standards in health care)
Critical hardware and/or software interface features,
requirements, and standards
Equitable access & public service obligations (relative costs and
implementation rates)
Research & development: i.e., critical areas for future projects in
device, software, and systems research; also private sector trends and
priority areas for government-funded research
Format Requirements Summary
Papers should begin with a brief problem statement and
concentrate on analysis and forecast (five to seven year horizon)
of deployment issues and key factors, including sources of
uncertainty, contingencies, barriers and facilitators. Conclusions
should concisely state the business case for a given deployment
effort and any implications for public policy.
Submissions should be double-spaced and should not exceed
6,250 words (approx. 25 pages).
All papers must be signed by a principal and accompanied by a
signed NRC copyright agreement.
Statistics must be referenced; cites should be formatted as

It would be a mistake to see the philosopher Alain Badiou as only being a political activist – having long been a Maoist – or a polemicist – his short book The Meaning of Sarkozy having made his name among the general public. A philosopher but also a mathematician, novelist and playwright, he is clearly above all a man of encounters. The wealth of his output bears witness to it. It has led to him theorising In Praise of Love and very recently debating Alain Finkielkraut in his L'Explication. With Alain Badiou, the encounter does not come just by itself – it is rich with promise…
What is an encounter?
It is a contingent, chance element of existence. Something happens to you that nothing among your existing world's points of reference made likely or necessary. You encounter someone who you do not know and yet who strikes you, attracts you, enters into your life.
In late January the philosopher Alain Badiou was in Athens, where he gave three talks. The theme of the first of these was Plato, the second was on Lacan, while the third – the text of which appears below – was the most 'political'. Each of the three talks had a packed-out audience. For this third talk, indeed, even the amphitheatre of the Law School did not suffice to contain the great number of attendees, with many of the large crowd of young people present filling out the stairs and floor. It took place on 25 January, and was jointly organised by the psychoanalysis review Alithia, the municipal elections movement Open City, and the SYRIZA youth organisation 'Left Union'. It was supported by the Nikos Poulantzas Institute.
The principle that there is a single world does not contradict the infinite play of identities and differences
Alain Badiou
I would like to thank, and to salute, all our Greek friends, and beyond that all those who are today struggling against the terrible situation inflicted on the Greek people by the financial oligarchy that today holds power in Europe, in service of globalised capitalism.
In the latest issue of Les Lettres Françaises, Alain Badiou polemically argues that corruption should not be taken to task as a deviant threat to democracy, but as its very essence. Against the grain of the current political crisis, Alain Badiou defends radical equality before the « political Idea » and a much-nedded « resurrection of communism.

A History of the Arctic
Nature, Exploration and Exploitation
Bitter cold and constant snow. Polar bears, seals, and killer whales. Victor Frankenstein chasing his monstrous creation across icy terrain in a dogsled. The arctic calls to mind a myriad different images. Consisting of the Arctic Ocean and parts of Canada, the United States, Russia, Greenland, Finland, Norway and Sweden, the arctic possesses a unique ecosystem—temperatures average negative 29 degrees Fahrenheit in winter and rarely rise above freezing in summer—and the indigenous peoples and cultures that live in the region have had to adapt to the harsh weather conditions. As global temperatures rise, the arctic is facing an environmental crisis, with melting glaciers causing grave concern around the world. But for all the renown of this frozen region, the arctic remains far from perfectly understood.
In A History of the Arctic, award-winning polar historian John McCannon provides an engaging overview of the region that spans from the Stone Age to the present. McCannon discusses polar exploration and science, nation-building, diplomacy, environmental issues, and climate change, and the role indigenous populations have played in the arctic's story. Chronicling the history of each arctic nation, he details the many failed searches for a Northwest Passage and the territorial claims that hamper use of these waterways. He also explores the resources found in the arctic—oil, natural gas, minerals, fresh water, and fish—and describes the importance they hold as these resources are depleted elsewhere, as well as the challenges we face in extracting them.
A timely assessment of current diplomatic and environmental realities, as well as the dire risks the region now faces, A History of the Arctic is a thoroughly engrossing book on the past—and future—of the top of the world.less

Creating a Legacy
Jeanne Keruly knows the consequences of HIV-infected patients skipping their medications, if even for a couple of days. To make sure patients seen at Johns Hopkins' Moore Clinic get the antiretroviral therapies they need, Keruly, a nurse practitioner in Infectious Diseases, and some of her colleagues routinely give to a departmental fund, established for patients without financial resources or health insurance, to purchase the drugs without any red tape.
Pathology administrator Al Valentine contributes to a lymphoma research fund created in memory of his wife, Joan, a popular Johns Hopkins microbiologist, who passed away three years ago from the disease.
Keruly and Valentine are among about 1,500 faculty and staff who give financial support to Johns Hopkins Medicine. They say it's their responsibility to give back and to help the institution achieve its mission of patient care, education and research. Many employees' gifts have been contributed through Johns Hopkins' Knowledge for the World campaign, a multibillion-dollar, systemwide fund-raising initiative that ends this year, after a successful seven-year run. Organizers for The Fund for Johns Hopkins Medicine are hoping to reenergize those donors and attract new ones, with its newest employee giving program called the Johns Hopkins Family Campaign.
The campaign, which represents the final phase of Knowledge for the World, was launched on May 19—the birthday of Baltimore businessman Johns Hopkins, who bequeathed $7 million to establish the University and Hospital 119 years ago last month. The campaign will end in October.
"It was the right thing to do," says Steve Rum, associate vice president of development, who has been tapping alumni, grateful patients, and philanthropists to reach Knowledge for the World's $3.2 billion goal. "Employees wanted to know, Can we be a part?"
Unlike many campaigns, which raise money for specific projects, such as a new building or scholarships, the Family Campaign allows employees to give to any department, unit, or project within Johns Hopkins Medicine, Rum explains.
Letters and contribution forms explaining the campaign have recently been distributed to Johns Hopkins Medicine employees' campus mailboxes.
Faculty and staff can give as little as $10.42 per biweekly paycheck, over a two-year period, to reach the $500 minimum. They also may contribute by check, credit card, or online through the Family Campaign Web site (see below).
Donors will receive an inscribed silver lapel pin as a thank-you, but evidence of their contribution will be longer lasting. Their names will be permanently etched on a legacy wall to be displayed in the new Cardiovascular and Critical Care Tower when it is completed in 2011. The Johns Hopkins Bayview campus will have a similar wall erected to recognize participating employees.
Having their name on the donor wall will motivate some employees to write a check. But Valentine insists, "It's all about remembering and honoring Joan." He set up his wife's fund through the oncology department the year following her death. To date, approximately 200 families, friends and colleagues have contributed to the fund.
Now Valentine will encourage the 1,300 faculty and staff he works with to create their own legacy through individual or team contributions. The grassroots effort of units working to support programs of their choice, he says, is a "good way for people to contribute without burdening any single staff member."
An assistant professor in medicine and director of the Ryan White Services, which provide resources for the uninsured, Keruly is very specific with her donations.
She regularly contributes a portion of her salary to cover "gap purchases." Half of the patients who come to the AIDS clinic don't have insurance to cover their medications, which can cost $12,000 a year. For others, their insurance may have lapsed, their health care plan may not cover their medicines or they may have lost their prescriptions.
"There's a lot of need in the community," says Keruly, "and a lot of opportunity to give back."

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Man-eater is a colloquial term for an animal that preys upon humans. This does not include scavenging. Although human beings can be attacked by many kinds of animals, man-eaters are those that have incorporated human flesh into their usual diet. Most reported cases of man-eaters have involved tigers, leopards,[1] lions and crocodilians. However, they are by no means the only predators that will attack humans if given the chance; a wide variety of species have also been known to take humans as prey, including bears, Komodo dragons, hyenas, cougars, and sharks.
Tigers are recorded to have killed more people than any other big cat, and tigers have been responsible for more human deaths through direct attack than any other wild mammal.[2] About 1,000 people were reportedly killed each year in India during the early 1900s, with one individual tiger killing 430 persons in India.[2] Tigers killed 129 people in the Sundarbans mangrove forest from 1969–71.[2] Unlike leopards and lions, man-eating tigers rarely enter human habitations in order to acquire prey. The majority of victims are reportedly in the tiger's territory when the attack takes place.[3] Additionally, tiger attacks mostly occur during daylight hours, unlike those committed by leopards and lions.[3] The Sundarbans are home to approximately 600 Royal Bengal Tigers[4] who before modern times used to "regularly kill fifty or sixty people a year".[4] In 2008, a loss of habitat due to the Cyclone Sidr led to an increase in the number of attacks on humans in the Indian side of the Sunderbans, as tigers were crossing over to the Indian side from Bangladesh.[5]
A theory promoted to explain this suggests that since tigers drink fresh water, the salinity of the area waters serve as a destabilizing factor in the diet and life of tigers of Sundarbans, keeping them in constant discomfort and making them extremely aggressive. Other theories include the sharing of their habitat with human beings and the consumption of human corpses during floods.[4]
Man-eating lions have been recorded to actively enter human villages at night as well as during the day to acquire prey. This greater assertiveness usually makes man-eating lions easier to dispatch than tigers. Lions typically become man-eaters for the same reasons as tigers: starvation, old age and illness, though as with tigers, some man-eaters were reportedly in perfect health.[3] The lion's proclivity for man-eating has been systematically examined. American and Tanzanian scientists report that man-eating behavior in rural areas of Tanzania increased greatly from 1990 to 2005. At least 563 villagers were attacked and many eaten over this period—a number far exceeding the more famed "Tsavo" incidents of a century earlier. The incidents occurred near Selous National Park in Rufiji District and in Lindi Province near the Mozambican border. While the expansion of villagers into bush country is one concern, the authors argue that conservation policy must mitigate the danger because, in this case, conservation contributes directly to human deaths. Cases in Lindi have been documented where lions seize humans from the centre of substantial villages. It is estimated that 550–700 people are attacked by lions every year.[6]
Man-eating leopards are a small percent of all leopards, but have undeniably been a menace in some areas;[7] one leopard in India killed over 200 people.[7] Jim Corbett was noted to have stated that unlike tigers, which usually became man-eaters because of infirmity, leopards more commonly did so after scavenging on human corpses; in the area that Corbett knew well, dead people are usually cremated completely, but when there is a bad disease epidemic, the death rate outruns the supply of cremation pyre wood and people burn the body a little and throw it over the edge of the burning ghat.[8] In Asia, man-eating leopards usually attack at night, and have been reported to break down doors and thatched roofs in order to reach human prey. Attacks in Africa are reported less often, though there have been occasions where attacks occurred in daylight. Both Corbett and Kenneth Anderson have written that hunting the man eating panther presented more challenges than any other animal.
Jaguar attacks are rare on humans.
Snow leopard attacks are rare.
Due to the expanding human population, cougar ranges increasingly overlap with areas inhabited by humans. Attacks on humans are very rare, as cougar prey recognition is a learned behavior and they do not generally recognize humans as prey.[12] Attacks on people, livestock, and pets may occur when a puma habituates to humans or is in a condition of severe starvation. Attacks are most frequent during late spring and summer, when juvenile cougars leave their mothers and search for new territory.
Most of the great apes will generally avoid getting into contact with humans, though will attack if cornered and provoked. Of special note are baboons which are omnivorous and can often show little fear of humans – there have been cases of baboons attacking children and trying to steal infants. Chimpanzees are omnivorous too but far less violent, though they can be provoked, especially in groups. Gorillas are herbivores, but can be extremely aggressive and violent if they feel they are in danger, though they can usually be calmed by submissive behaviour. However, with the exception of incidents were baboons have attacked children, none of the omnivorous primates are known to see humans as food, as they usually hunt far smaller animals.
Contrasted to other carnivorous mammals known to attack humans for food, the frequency with which wolves have been recorded to kill people is rather low, indicating that though potentially dangerous, wolves are among the least threatening for their size and predatory potential except for the dog which poses lethal hazards for reasons other than predation. In the rare cases in which man-eating wolf attacks occur, the majority of victims are children.[9] Habituation is a known factor contributing to some man-eating wolf attacks which results from living close to human habitations, causing wolves to lose their fear of humans and consequently approach too closely, much like urban coyotes. Habituation can also happen when people intentionally encourage wolves to approach them, usually by offering them food, or unintentionally, when people do not sufficiently intimidate them.[9] This is corroborated by accounts demonstrating that wolves in protected areas are more likely to show boldness toward humans than ones in areas where they are actively hunted.[10]
Attacks on humans by dingoes are rare, with only 3 recorded fatalities in Australia, all of which involved young children. Dingoes are normally shy of humans and avoid encounters with them. The most famous record of a dingo attack was the disappearance of nine-week old Azaria Chamberlain. Her parents reported that they both saw a dingo taking Azaria out of their tent when she and her family were out on a camping trip in Uluru (then known as Ayers Rock).
Much like other large land carnivores, domestic dogs have the power, strength, speed, agility, voraciousness, and the sharp teeth and claws of mammalian species generally understood as man-eaters. Add to this the sort of organization that one associates with lions, hyenas, and wolves, and even a pack of small dogs is potentially as lethal as a single large predator. Predatory attacks by dogs (like wolves) on livestock and wildlife larger than humans demonstrate the potential of a dog as a man-eater. A large dog or a pack of dogs of adequate number depending on size of the dogs has the capacity to kill a human even without predatory intent, and most fatal dog attacks do not result from hunger. Self-extrication from a dog attack is extremely difficult. By far the best-behaved of all large predatory land animals except for humans, the dog is the large predatory animal least likely to kill humans as prey. Pet dogs are ordinarily too well fed to contemplate humans as food, and even strays are likely to find food through scavenging or begging.
Predatory acts by dogs upon humans have occurred, but many such incidents were the result of human misconduct. Guards such as Irma Grese often set dogs upon live prisoners in Nazi concentration camps with the dog killing the victim and partially devouring the corpse.[11] Perpetrators of this method of murder were often executed as war criminals.
Almost all known predatory coyote attacks on humans have failed. To date, other than the Kelly Keen coyote attack and the Taylor Mitchell coyote attack, all known victims have survived by fighting, fleeing, or being rescued, and only in the later case was the victim partially eaten, although that case occurred in Nova Scotia where the local animals are "Eastern coyotes" (gray wolf × coyote hybrids).
Leopard seals are highly dangerous to humans. Even though there has not been a case of a human being consumed by a Leopard seal, they are active predators of penguins and other seals and may use a very similar attack pattern on humans. On 22 July 2003, a British marine biologist died from her injuries after being bitten and dragged underwater while snorkeling near the Rothera Research Station in Antarctica. It is considered the first recorded human fatality from this animal.[12]
Killer whales (or orcas) are powerful predators capable of killing prey much larger than humans.
Polar bears, being almost completely unused to the presence of humans and therefore having no ingrained fear of them, are the only species of bear that will actively hunt people for food, though with the right precautions, they are easily deterred. These bears are at far greater risk from human hunters, despite global bans(by Robert Jones). Although bears rarely attack humans, bear attacks are often fatal due to the size and immense strength of bears. As with dogs, predatory intent is not necessary; territorial disputes and protection of cubs can result in death by bear attack. Truly man-eating bear attacks are uncommon but are known to occur when the animals are diseased or natural prey is scarce, often leading bears to attack and eat anything they are able to kill. In July 2008, dozens of starving bears killed two geologists working at a salmon hatchery in Kamchatka.[13] After the partially eaten remains of the two workers were discovered, authorities responded by sending out a team of snipers to hunt down the bears.[14]
Though usually shy and cautious animals, Asian black bears are more aggressive toward humans than the brown bears of Eurasia.[15] Brown bears seldom attack humans on sight, and usually avoid people. They are however unpredictable in temperament, and will attack if they are surprised or feel threatened.[16] In some areas of India and Burma, sloth bears are more feared than tigers, due to their unpredictable temperament.[17]
Although hyenas will readily feed upon human corpses, hyenas are generally very wary of man and much less dangerous than the big cats whose territory overlaps with theirs. Nonetheless, both the spotted hyena and the smaller striped hyena are powerful predators quite capable of killing an adult human, and are known to attack people when food is scarce. Like most predators, hyena attacks tend to target women, children, and infirm men, though both species can and do attack healthy adult males on occasion. The spotted hyena is the more dangerous of the two species, being larger, more predatory and more aggressive than the striped hyena. The brown hyena and aardwolf are not known to prey on humans.
Although not true carnivores, pigs are competent predators and can kill and eat helpless humans unable to escape them.[18]
Crocodile attacks on people are common in places where crocodiles are native. The Saltwater and Nile Crocodiles are responsible for more attacks and more deaths than any other wild predator that attacks humans for food. Each year, hundreds of deadly attacks are attributed to the Nile Crocodile within sub-Saharan Africa. The fact that there are many relatively healthy populations of Nile Crocodiles in East Africa and their proximity to people living in poverty and/or without infrastructure has made it likely that the Nile Crocodile is responsible for more attacks on humans than all other species combined.
Despite their manifest ability to kill prey similar to or larger than humans in size and their commonness in an area of dense human settlement (the southeastern United States of America, especially Florida), American alligators rarely make predatory attacks upon humans despite the opportunity. Unlike the far-more dangerous saltwater and Nile crocodiles, almost all alligators seem to avoid contact with humans if possible, especially if they have been hunted. Incidents have happened,[19] and they may not all have been predatory in nature.
Only a very few species of snakes are physically capable of swallowing a human. Although quite a few claims have been made about giant snakes swallowing adult humans, convincing proof has been absent. Scientifically, such a situation seems to be very unlikely. However, big constrictors should have no problems swallowing an infant or a small child, a threat that is legitimate and empirically proved.
In the Philippines, more than a quarter of Aeta men (a modern forest-dwelling hunter-gatherer group) have reported surviving reticulated python predation attempts.[20] Pythons are nonvenomous ambush predators, and both the Aeta and pythons hunt deer, wild pigs, and monkeys, making them competitors and prey.[20]
The only family of snakes that are able to eat an adult human being are constrictors (three pythons and one boa, all non-venomous):
Large Komodo Dragons are the only known Lizard species to occasionally attack and consume humans. However because they live on remote islands, attacks are infrequent and may go unreported. Despite their large size, attacks on people are often unsuccessful with the victims often managing to escape (although severe wounds are usually sustained).[21] Additionally, most instances of humans being consumed by Komodos are of already dead bodies being dug up by the lizards from shallow graves.
Contrary to popular belief, only a few sharks are dangerous to humans. Out of more than 568 shark species, only four have been involved in a significant number of fatal unprovoked attacks on humans: the great white shark, tiger shark, bull shark,[22] and the oceanic whitetip shark.[23] These sharks, being large, powerful predators, may sometimes attack and kill humans; however, they have all been filmed in open water by unprotected divers.[24][25] Most of the oceanic whitetip shark's attacks have not been recorded,[23] unlike the other 3 species mentioned above.
There are reports of goonch catfish eating humans in the Kali River in India.[26]
There is fossil evidence that large birds of prey occasionally prey on humans. The Taung Child, an early human found in Africa, is believed to have been killed by an eagle-like bird.
Although vultures are not known to attack living humans, they are nonetheless prone to eating deceased humans. A common Western theme is seeing vultures circle a dying human or a recent human cadaver for a potential meal.
In modern times, the Parsi communities in India expose dead bodies on Dakhma for consumption by birds of prey, predominantly vultures. Because of a drastic decrease in vulture population, Parsi communities in India are currently evaluating captive breeding of vultures.[27]
There is at least one documented case of a Griffon Vulture eating human remains in Europe. In May 2013, a 52-year-old woman who was hiking in the Pyrenees and had fallen off a cliff to her death was eaten by Griffon Vultures before rescue workers were able to recover her body, leaving only her clothes and a few of her bones. The rescue workers, while trying to recover her body—the fall was nearly 1,000 ft (305 m) and thus impossible to survive—had actually seen a group of Griffon Vultures earlier in their search eating, not realizing until later they were eating the deceased hiker. As this was documented occurrence of a human being being eaten by Griffon Vultures, the story attracted worldwide attention to the Griffon Vulture's problems in Southern Europe, where an EC ruling requires that, because of the danger of BSE transmission, no carcasses must be left on the fields for the time being. This has critically lowered food availability, and consequently, carrying capacity for the Griffon Vulture.[28]

Each space mission has a primary objective, indicated in the objective tracker in the upper-right corner of the space combat screen. You must achieve this objective to successfully complete the mission.
Each space mission also has a set of three bonus quests, which will not show up on the objectives tracker until you make progress on one of them (destroying the first turret, for example). Each bonus quest will reward some XP and credits.
For more information on each space mission's bonus objectives, including what level each becomes available at, see the page for that particular mission. Also, see the spreadsheet linked in the External Links section below for an overview.
Both the mouse and WASD keys move your ship. However, using the WASD keys allows pilots to target/fire with the mouse. Most pilots find this the most effective method to complete missions. Your ship follows a predetermined course through the combat zone. Usually you have sufficient time to accomplish your primary objective(s).
You have Shields and Armor. Shields regenerate ONLY when the ship guns are not firing. Firing missiles does not affect shield regeneration. A Power Conversion Module is available to level 25 pilots. This device will allow pilots to switch power priority between guns and shields. The particular combat encounter will dictate power priorities as pilots advance in level. However, the best advice is to always "keep your shields up!"
Your ship can be equipped with new items just as you are able to equip your companion. Ship upgrades can be purchased from vendors, as well as obtained from characters with the Cybertech crew skill.
There are 10 equipment slots:
Once you get your ship, you will be able to undertake space missions. They are available from your ship's galaxy map. There are also daily space missions available from the communications terminal on your ship's bridge, which reward Fleet Commendations (can be redeemed for some ship upgrades), along with extra XP and credits.

Emerging treatments in the management of schizophrenia – focus on sertindole
Authors Maria Rosaria A Muscatello, Antonio Bruno, Gianluca Pandolfo, et al

Abstract: The antipsychotic treatment of schizophrenia is still marked by poor compliance, and drug discontinuation; the development of more effective and safer drugs still remains a challenge. Sertindole is a second-generation antipsychotic with high affinity for dopamine D2, serotonin 5-HT2A, 5-HT2C, and α1-adrenergic receptors, and low affinity for other receptors. Sertindole undergoes extensive hepatic metabolism by the cytochrome P450 isoenzymes CYP2D6 and CYP3A4 and has an elimination half-life of approximately three days. In controlled clinical trials sertindole was more effective than placebo in reducing positive and negative symptoms, whereas it was as effective as haloperidol and risperidone against the positive symptoms of schizophrenia. The effective dose-range of sertindole is 12–20 mg, administered orally once daily. The most common adverse events are headhache, insomnia, rhinitis/nasal congestion, male sexual dysfunction, and moderate weight gain, with few extrapyramidal symptoms and metabolic changes. Sertindole is associated with corrected QT interval prolongation, with subsequent risk of serious arrythmias. Due to cardiovascular safety concerns, sertindole is available as a second-line choice for patients intolerant to at least one other antipsychotic agent. Further clinical studies, mainly direct "head-to-head" comparisons with other second-generation antipsychotic agents, are needed to define the role of sertindole in the treatment of schizophrenia.

Imran-Andy Back after Scuffle
The Kannada cinema industry is known for clashes and controversies quite often. Some of them prolong but a few others get early patch up.
In the case of scuffle between well known choreographer Imran Sardaria and top actress Aindrita Ray in Singapore while shooting for a song turned sour. Aindrita Ray complained in the media and Imran Sardaria gave back his version on what happened. That has actually put the two in different directions. Everyone thought both Andy and Imran would not work together.
A few days ago Srinagara Kitty hero of 'Tony' Kannada cinema worked out a strategy and solved the crisis. For Srinagara Kitty it is the choreographer Imran Sardaria suggested for Aindrita Ray as heroine in 'Tony'. Such recommendations do not surface in this industry often but Kitty explained this to Aindrita Ray and suggested her to work in Imran Sardaria choreography.
Aindrita Ray the charming heroine of Kannada cinema from the days of 'Meravanige' is giving a dental smile (She studied Dental course) when Imran Sardaria name was announced for December 15 songs shooting for 'Tony' Kannada cinema. Jayathirtha of 'Olave Mandhara' is the director of 'Tony' Kannada cinema.
This kind of patch happening early is a good sign. Srinagara Kitty deserves kudos for this rejoining of quarreling minds.
Aindrita Ray back in action
Aindrita Ray, who was battling dengue recently, is back on the set, after a mandatory two-week rest.
The Manasaare actress is in Mysore currently, where she's shooting for her cameo in the upcoming Shivarajkumar-Radhika Pandit starrer Kaddipudi. "It feels good to be back on the set. We're going to shoot a montage song, with a little bit of classical dance.
I'm excited that I'll be doing a classical-dance routine for the first time. I'm hoping that I've recovered enough to shoot for it," says Aindrita. The actress, meanwhile, will also resume shooting for Ziddi, opposite Prajwal Devaraj. "Later this month, I will be shooting for a song with Prajwal, after which I will be taking off for a vacation outside India," she says.
Aindrita Ray watches her sizzling song!
Glamorous doll Aindrita Ray who was paid a hefty remuneration for the ' Basanthi' song in the film Prem Adda was reportedly nervous about her performance as an item song dancer in the film.
But the actress felt relieved and was in fact happy that she was a part of this film after catching the pulse of the audience reaction in Lakshmi theatre in Mysore.
It is also heard that Aindrita has recovered completely from the fever which kept her indoors for last one month and she is now pumped up to take up more assignments.

A lot of the time when people ask me about songwriting the most popular question I get is, 'How do you know where to start?' which is a good question. I guess the simple answer would be I just write about the things that haunt me the most, I guess. And you know, that sounds kind of depressing, but good things can haunt you the same way as bad things can haunt you. Good memories can leave even more of a mark or a scar on your heart as the bad times, and the bad memories, and the slamming doors, and the fights. So when I say that I write about things that haunt me, they're not always about bad ghosts. I think you can have a lot of ghosts that you're carrying around with you. Sometimes you wish you could forget the good times even more than the bad times because you just keep replaying the things you remember all too well.

It is the sampled sound quality that sells this kit. Roland quality really does make a difference if you care about the feel and sound of your kit. In our experience it is worth the extra money!

Firstly I love how interactive and advanced this drum set is. Rather then only having one use there are 20 different aspects to this set and they all work really well together as a whole. The sound is really good and it wasn't long before the neighbours started to complain!
I was pretty much a beginner before I bought this and now I think I could be up there on stage with the pros!

It's hard to know what to write: I journal, but that doesn't lead to sharable projects, or I initiate projects, but don't finish them. I'm trying to save my ideas for the right outlets—probably something that pays, probably not this blog. Who knows if anything I try will come to fruition. As a writer, I have a discipline problem. I'm working on it.
Because of my discipline problem, it's hard for me even to maintain a daily journal. It's hard to do laundry! I've been using Lynda Barry's 4-minute diary-keeping method to store some of my memories. Sometimes my inertia still gets the best of me, but still, I've preserved some vignettes of Buenos Aires that I'll want to keep with me.
I saw my breath on the 4th of July; it's winter here. On July 10, I went to buy a comforter. "Lots of polar fleece at Arredo," I wrote. I gave the box to my roommate's cat.
On July 5, I bought a local phone plan, which took a total of four hours. Argentines have a greater tolerance for waiting, I guess, than people in the United States do. As for myself, I felt like I was on fire. I felt great when it was done, though. That night, I ate empanadas at a touristy bar-slash-restaurant that would not have looked out of place in Wrigleyville. My waiter's name was Maní.
"¿Maní, como esto?" I asked, holding up a peanut. That's what his name translates to: peanut. I don't think he liked my question. It's his mom's fault.
On the first of July—the first full, 24-hour day I spent in Buenos Aires—I had lunch with a friend from college. Our waiter was gorgeous, and provoked in me the kind of immediate dumb lust that has caused some of the stupidest, most painful decisions I've ever made. Obviously I'm going back.
My friend told me that sometimes she questions what she's doing here, what she's doing at all. She thinks it's a product of being in your 20s, not being in Buenos Aires. I tend to agree, and I share some of the same concerns. I'd probably feel uprooted wherever I was; I often feel as though my relationships, living conditions, and jobs go through a revolving door.
I also feel a particular sort of pressure on this time in my life; a physical pressure, like a heavy book closed on a flower to preserve it. This is an era.

Dahlin L 1996)). Between the Schwann cells, non-myelinated nerve fibers are located in a large number. Myelinated and non-myelinated nerve fibers are organized in bundles, called fascicles, and surrounded by a mechanical strong membrane consisting of laminas of flattened cells, the perineurial membrane. The bundles are usually organized in groups, held together by a loose connective tissue called the epineurium. In between the nerve fibers and their basal membrane is located an intrafascicular connective tissue—the endoneurium. The amount of the connective tissue components may vary between various nerves and also between various levels along the same nerve. For example, nerves located superficially in the limb or parts of the peripheral nerve that cross a joint contain an increased quantity of connective tissue, possibly as a response to repeated loading (Sunderland 1978).
The normal propagation of impulses in the nerve fibers as well as the communication and nutritional transport system in the neuron—axonal transport—require a sufficient energy supply. The peripheral nerve therefore contains a well developed microvascular system with vascular plexa in all connective tissue layers of the nerve (Lundborg 1970, 1975). The vessels approach the nerve trunk segmentally and these vessels have a coiled appearance so that the vascular supply is not impaired during the normal gliding or excursion of the nerve trunk. When the vessels reach the nerve trunk they divide into branches running longitudinally in various layers of the epineurium and also form numerous collaterals to vessels in the perineurial sheath. When the vessels pass through the perineurium into the endoneurium, which primarily contains capillaries, they often go through the perineurium obliquely thereby constituting a possible ''valve mechanism" (Lundborg 1970, 1975).
The perineurial layer and the endoneurial vessels play an important role in protecting the nerve fibers in the fascicles. The endoneurial milieu is preserved by a blood-nerve barrier, and the tissue pressure in the fascicle—endoneurial fluid pressure—is slightly positive (Myers et al. 1978). This is obvious when there is injury to the perineurium; following a transaction a "mushrooming" effect is observed. There are no lymphatic vessels in the epineurial space, therefore problems occur when an edema is formed in the endoneurial space. Following such an edema the pressure in the fascicle may increase and rapidly interfere with the endoneurial microcirculation (Lundborg and Dahlin 1996). The epineurial vessels are more vulnerable than the endoneurial vessels to trauma and even to surgical handling of the nerve.
The neuron itself is, as mentioned above, a unique cell with the cell body and the extending process (axon). The length of the axon may be 10 to 15,000 times the diameter of cell body. Therefore, there is a need for an intraneuronal transport system—axonal transport—where essential products are produced and constantly transported from the nerve cell body down the axon (anterograde transport), and disposal materials and trophic factors are also transported in the opposite direction (retrograde transport) (Grafstein and Forman 1980). The axonal transport consists of various components where fast axonal transport (up to around 410 mm per day) involves various enzymes, transmitter substance vesicles and glycoproteins and the various slow components (up to 30 mm per day) involve mainly cytoskeletal elements such as subunits of microtubules and neurofilaments. It should be noted that axonal transport is energy depend and disturbances in axonal transport may be involved not only in the development of diabetic neuropathy but also in nerve compression injuries (Dahlin et al. 1986).

Iraqi president invites Abadi to form government
Iraqi President Fuad Masoum Monday asked Deputy Speaker Haidar al-Abadi to form the next government in the country, media reports said.
The state-run Iraqiya channel showed Masoum signing the letter, granting Abadi, the Shia coalition's nominee for prime minister, the power to form the next government, Xinhua reported.
Salim al-Jubouri, the Iraqi Speaker of parliament, and Ibrahim al-Jaafari, the head of the Iraqi National Alliance, were present at the televised meeting.
"The country is now in your hands," Massoum told Abadi. The deputy speaker thanked Masoum and pledged to do his best to form a government within a month, a time span stipulated in the constitution.
Earlier, the Shia lawmakers in the umbrella organisation the Iraqi National Alliance, which includes Maliki's State of the Law bloc, sent a letter signed by 127 lawmakers, out of more than 170 members in the alliance, to President Masoum, nominating Abadi for the post to replace Maliki, according to Baghdad satellite channel.
Masoum held a meeting with lawmakers of the alliance with the attendance of the Speaker Jubouri, to discuss the political development, the channel said.
The latest move is likely to increase political tension in the country. The Shia National Alliance had won the most parliament seats in the April elections and Maliki had seen himself as keeping the post for a third term. But he has been accused by critics of steering the country toward a sectarian war.
He had earlier accused the president of committing a "clear constitutional violation" by missing a deadline to ask the biggest bloc in parliament to nominate a prime minister.
In a boost to Maliki's bid to stay on for a third term, a top Iraqi court Monday ruled that his group is the largest in the country's parliament.
The decision meant that President Masoum, who Maliki criticised for not intervening after parliament failed to appoint him, should have invited him to form a government.
Pro-Maliki security forces were Monday seen deployed in strategic areas in the capital city, in particular the areas surrounding the Green Zone, which houses most Iraqi top offices and ministries, as well as the US embassy, Al Jazeera reported.
Dozens of people loyal to Maliki took to the streets in Fardous Square in central Baghdad, urging a third-term for Maliki. Many threatened to hold sit-ins in the capital if Maliki is not asked to form a new cabinet.
Maliki had, however, been under increasing pressure to give up his attempt for a third term.

Quote Diary: It's Ok To Cry
When all that's around you
Seems awkward with trouble
When people surround you
And make your work double
When all you can think of
Is why do they pry
When words seem to fail you
It's ok to sigh
When all that surrounds you
Is hopeless and sad
When some people harm you
They treat you so…
