Super mutants are mutated humans, products of infection by the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV). They are much taller, bulkier, and more muscular than pure strain humans, have predominantly green, gray, or yellowish skin, are immune to disease and radiation, and are gifted with superhuman strength and endurance. Although they are completely sterile, the rapid regeneration of their cells caused by FEV makes them virtually biologically immortal (but not immune to death from injury).
There are four different known sources of super mutants in the post-War world - Mariposa Military Base in New California (on the West Coast), Vault 87 in the Capital Wasteland (on the East Coast), the FEV labs of the Institute in the Commonwealth (East Coast), and Huntersville in Appalachia (East Coast). The four populations have separate histories and origins and are yet to interact with each other. While originally the term was only used to refer to the Mariposa stock, the Brotherhood of Steel carried the term with them and applied it to those from Vault 87 upon encountering them.
Average Mariposa super mutants stand approximately 10.5 feet (3.2 m) tall (although they typically stand with hunched backs that reduce their height) and weigh around 800 pounds (363 kg), possibly even more. The Vault 87 super mutants stand approximately over 8 feet (2.44 m) tall and the Institute super mutants are approximately 7 feet (2.13 m) tall. Their skin color is predominately grayish-green in the case of Mariposa mutants and yellow with tints of red and green in the case of Vault 87 ones, although some mutants with other skin colors also exist. Their skin is extremely tough, and their muscle and bone structure are enhanced well beyond the human norm.
Super mutant cells undergo cellular division at a greatly increased rate. Mitosis occurs at a rate of 15% quicker than that found in pure strain humans. A super mutant's cellular structure is said to be highly similar to normal humans. Super mutant DNA strands are nearly flawless, with all of the recessive genes that produce many of the most common ailments like diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease eradicated from the genome. Those recessive genes which are commonly found in humans have been manipulated in such a way by the infection of the FEV as to bring about the best possible combination of genetic traits. A super mutant's RNA structure was also altered by the virus to produce more rapid transcription, resulting in the enhanced regenerative capacities of the mutated form.
The mutation produced by the FEV, in this case, has some severe side effects. Chief among them is sterility. As the gametes of the reproductive system consist of 'half-cells' comprising only 23 of the normal 46 chromosomes, they are perceived as 'damaged' cells by the FEV's integrated genetic sequences, which "repairs" them by restoring the missing chromosomes, which essentially renders the mutants sterile since their gametes lose the ability to recombine with other sex cells in sexual reproduction. Other side effects of this form of FEV infection include an alteration of the pigment cells of the epidermis. While the super mutants originating from Mariposa are sterile, they do not lose their sexual organs, but they do lose their secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts; Similarly, East Coast mutants are said to lose most sexual characteristics[1] Another side effect is the overdevelopment or "sagging" of the upper lip on the mutants, causing discomfort when talking and/or chewing, which led to them creating very simple leather straps as "braces" to make it easier to perform the aforementioned tasks.
While they will not normally die due to the normal effects of aging, super mutants are prone to senility, leading to tendencies to engage in near-psychotic, aggressive attacks against humans and other creatures.
West Coast mutantsEdit
The Mariposa super mutants are a variety of super mutants common on the West Coast and in the Midwest that originated from the Mariposa Military Base in California. While some of them can be rather stupid, in general, they are more intelligent and civilized than their distant Huntersville, Institute, and Vault 87 cousins found in Appalachia, the Commonwealth, and the Capital Wasteland respectively. Their skin is also darker than that of their east-coast counterparts. The Mariposa strain is unique in that the mutants created by it do not continue to grow in size as they age, unlike the East Coast strains.
Super mutants were first created on the West Coast by Richard Grey, also known as "The Master", who led the first human survivor expedition to Mariposa Military Base in 2102. When the expedition was attacked by the base's automated security robots, he was dipped in a vat filled with mature FEV in solution and managed to crawl out. The FEV was initially meant to be injected into humans, but Grey soon found out that direct physical contact with its nutritional medium worked just as well. He began to mutate in horrible ways, turning into a fleshy, tentacled blob of sentient matter.
The mutated form of Grey developed psychic powers, which were enhanced by consuming living minds to expand his own psionic strength. Slowly, as other wanderers from the Wasteland made it into the Mariposa Base themselves, Grey started performing his own experiments with the FEV. Grey — who now called himself "The Master" — lamented the needless destruction of human society caused by the Great War. In his warped state, he decided that he would have to force humanity to evolve beyond its innately destructive tendencies. If everyone could be as perfect as his evolutionarily advanced super mutants, the Master reasoned, there would be no more conflict in the world. Those who would not evolve would be forcibly sterilized and allowed to live out their lives in peace, though without the ability to pass on their imperfections to the next generation.[2] Around the year 2155, the Master began seeking out uncontaminated, pure strain humans with which to create new mutants and build the super mutant army he required to carry his plans to fruition.
In 2162, a person known to history only as the Vault Dweller destroyed the Master's mutant army by causing an explosion in the FEV vats at Mariposa, which collapsed the entire base, after which he proceeded to The Cathedral in the ruins of Los Angeles and killed the Master. Without the leadership of their creator and his lieutenant, the mutants divided into at least three factions. Some decided to leave California and find a place for themselves somewhere in the East, while a second faction wanted to continue the Master's work and dominate New California once again. A third faction remained in New California and tried to make peace with the Wasteland's humans, and worked together with them to rebuild the world after the Great War. Broken Hills is the most notable example of a settlement where humans and super mutants have learned to live together in peace.

The faction of super mutants that traveled eastwards eventually settled in the Midwest, forming what was known as Gammorin's Army, and many of them eventually ended up joining the Brotherhood of Steel.

In 2236, the Enclave, the remnant of the pre-Great War American federal government, discovered the remnants of the Mariposa Base. Soon, Enclave assault squads combed the desert for slaves they could use to excavate the military base and get to the FEV vats. In 2237, having obtained the necessary data and samples to recreate the FEV, the Enclave abandoned the site after more mutations occurred among Enclave personnel exposed to the FEV remnants in the facility, causing the second generation of Mariposa super mutants to arise. The Enclave left a single squad behind to wipe out the super mutants, but the mutants, using armaments they had cached in the base during the excavation, reduced the squad to ashes after suffering heavy casualties. The remaining 1st and 2nd generation super mutant slaves were sealed inside the base by Enclave sappers, who collapsed the entrance to the ruined facility. Inside, the mutants formed a new community.
At some point before 2281, some super mutants from both generations established a community on Black Mountain near New Vegas, initially led by the former sheriff of Broken Hills, Marcus. However, a Nightkin called Tabitha arrived, and turned the second gens against the first gens, resulting in the first gens leaving to found a peaceful settlement called Jacobstown near Mount Charleston. The mutants who remained at Black Mountain then formed the State of Utobitha, which was openly hostile to humans.
East Coast mutantsEdit
There are three types of super mutants found in the East Coast. All East Coast strains differ from the Mariposa strain in that the mutants they produce tend to be less intelligent, but continue to gain muscle and body mass as they age, eventually becoming Behemoths.
Shortly before the Great War, West Tek released FEV into the drinking water of the town of Huntersville, West Virginia as part of an experiment, creating the first super mutants in Appalachia. By 2102, this strain of super mutant had spread across the region. They are accompanied by similarly mutated hounds and floaters.
By 2277, the super mutants had also appeared on the East Coast of the United States. These super mutants were created in the Evolutionary Experimentation Program, the experiment which had been assigned by Vault-Tec and the pre-War American government to Vault 87 as part of the clandestine Vault experimentation program. The heavily modified strain of FEV which created these mutants resulted in a new strain of super mutants which, in addition to becoming sterile, grow much larger and stronger as they age. They are different from their New California counterparts as they are green-yellow in skin color and less intelligent. Every super mutant's facial expression is permanently set in a sneer. However, unlike their counterparts, they are even less like pure strain humans, and after the transformation, no clues on how they looked in their former lives can be found. They take human prisoners across the Capital Wasteland to transform them into more super mutants by injecting them with the FEV still found in Vault 87.
Just as on the West Coast, the by-product of the Vault 87-based creations are the hideous chimeric mutants called centaurs, who act as watch/attack dogs for their super mutant masters.
By 2287, a unique large group of super mutants are found in the Commonwealth; they are experiments of the Institute. This group of mutants also has similarities to the ones from the Capital Wasteland and the West Coast. Unlike the Vault 87 and Mariposa mutants, the ones found in the Commonwealth don't have centaurs; instead, they are often accompanied by mutant hounds.
During the exploration of Vault 87, information from a computer terminal reveals more about the process of mutation that super mutants go through, at least when it comes to the specific modified strain of FEV found in the super mutants of the Capital Wasteland. As a human mutates, its muscular and skeletal systems develop rapidly, while their mental faculties diminish. Most secondary sexual characteristics are eliminated, transforming the subject into an asexual state.
Despite their general lack of intelligence (even when compared to the least intelligent of the West Coast super mutants), they are somehow able to organize themselves into a coordinated army (as evidenced by their numerous raids and the attempt to reinforce their positions at the Capitol which led to the attack on Galaxy News Radio), procure large amounts of advanced weapons, ammunition, and equipment, and even maintain the biomedical infrastructure necessary to infect humans with the FEV and increase the numbers of super mutants in the region.
In the urban ruins of Washington, the super mutants are looking for more sources of FEV and more humans to expand their own numbers as they seek to take over the entire Capital Wasteland.
The Commonwealth mutants seem to show more intelligence (with the exception of behemoths) than their Capital Wasteland counterparts, as they speak in more complex sentences, as well as shouting out slightly more intelligent battle cries and taunts. They seem to use better tactics, especially with higher ranking mutants. However, even though they are more intelligent than Vault 87 counterparts, they are still less intelligent and more uncivilized when in comparison to their West Coast cousins.
Notable super mutantsEdit
- The name of the super mutants is spelled differently at different points. Despite the fact that "super mutant" is the most characteristic and the most widely used, other variations exist including super mutants, super-mutant, supermutant and mutants.
- While Marcus, the mutant in Fallout 2, claims that "it only takes a few years to get the juices flowing again" (in regards to sterility), Chris Avellone, who wrote the dialogue, said that it was just a joke.
- Some mutants in Mariposa in Fallout 2 are called "super duper mutants," but it is not known why.
- Fawkes prefers to use the term "Meta-Humans" when speaking about the super mutants, especially when referring to himself. However, he is the only character who refers to super mutants as "Meta-Humans".
- Fawkes also reveals that the "super-mutation" causes extreme pain and that it's the key factor that turns the Vault 87 strain of super mutants feral and inhumane. Fawkes states that he barely withstood it himself.
- The only super mutant to be cured of the FEV is Brian Virgil from Fallout 4.

Lawrence Photographic Project Collection [graphic]
The Lawrence Collection in the National Library of Ireland consists of about 40,000 glass plate photographic negatives of Irish scenes dating from the period 1870 to 1910. The Lawrence Photographic Project 1990/1991 was a nationwide endeavour coordinated by the Federation of Local History Societies and the Federation for Ulster Local Studies, where a thousand scenes from the Lawrence Collection were replicated approximately one hundred years later by a team of 77 volunteer photographers, thereby creating a modern collection to complement the Lawrence Collection. The objective was to facilitate the future study of the changing topography of cities, towns and rural areas throughout Ireland by recording on film the constant changes in the physical environment. Scenes were selected based on perceived significance, variety of subject (with an emphasis on street scenes) and geographical spread. As well as placing a full set of prints (the Lawrence and the new) with the National Library of Ireland and the Ulster Museum, the Federation of Local History Societies and the Federation For Ulster Local Studies also distributed a set of prints relating to scenes within each county in the Republic of Ireland to the corresponding county library. In Northern Ireland, a set of prints was distributed to the five Education and Library Boards.

CL&P still pushing for Sunday restoration goal
HARTFORD -- More than 300,000 Connecticut Light and Power customers remained without power Friday morning, entering their seventh day in the dark since the freak October nor'easter tore across the state, bringing unprecedented snowfall and leaving behind widespread tree damage.
CL&P Chief Operating Officer Jeffrey Butler said the utility company is still on pace to meet its goal of restoring 99 percent of its customers by Sunday at midnight. He said there will be 100,000 more restorations made by Saturday morning. At its peak, the storm left more than 831,000 customers in the dark.
Progress has been made in the hardest hit areas of Southwestern Connecticut, but there is still much more work to be done.
Seymour, one of the hardest hit towns, has only 20 percent of its customers without power Friday, and school is back in session. Two days ago, 100 percent of the town was in the dark. But in nearby Oxford, the town has been stuck at 40 percent since Wednesday afternoon, and school remains closed as more than 2,000 people are without power.
Monroe also has more than 2,000 CL&P customers without power, and schools remained closed Friday.
In the Greater Danbury area, more than 50 percent of CL&P customers did not have electricity in New Fairfield, Newtown, Redding, Bridgewater and Roxbury as of Friday morning. Sherman and Washington dipped under 50 percent for the first time Friday morning. Ridgefield still had 46 percent of its customers without power, while Danbury had 18 percent in the dark, or more than 6,000 customers.
"Once again, we understand the significant impact the storm has brought on our customers," Butler said during a news conference Friday morning at the State Armory, repeating a mantra he has used since Monday. "We continue to do everything possible to bring power back to our customers as quickly as possible."
Pressed by reporters, Butler said he doesn't have power and his generator has broken down.
"I live out in the Farmington Valley, I've been out around that area, there is extensive damage in the state," Butler said. "Like I've said many times, we're in the business to serve our customers and having almost 80 percent of your customers without power, it does take a toll. To have that amount out, it's something I take personally."
But, he said, "I don't want to talk about anything at this point other than focus on getting our customers restored to power. That's my job, that's my responsibility and I own that."
Butler said there are more than 5,000 employees and contractors working across the state, including 1,749 tree and line crews, made up of 1,019 line crews and 630 tree crews. The National Guard was also brought shifted to help clear roads where wires are down, moving away from their previous mission of distributing water and food at shelters. According to Butler, CL&P continues to focus on working with municipalities to clear roads to allow emergency vehicles to pass safely, and to restore critical customers.
"This isn't a time for blame," said Butler, after he was asked whether the utility or the municipality should be blamed after fire crews couldn't quickly get to a house fire in West Hartford that killed an elderly woman earlier in the week. "We continue to focus to work with municipalities to get all roads cleared."
Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said he and the state's congressional delegation are waiting for President Barack Obama to issue a federal disaster declaration that would allow towns to be reimbursed for recovery work from the crippling nor'easter.
Malloy said Friday morning that Obama had approved an amendment to their initial application for federal aid to include debris removal and emergency protective measures, including overtime, equipment and fuel. He said he is waiting for the receipt of the document from the administration and will finalize the details with municipalities Friday.
"I was a little unhappy yesterday and let it be known, with respect to what I thought was some foot dragging on FEMA's part, with respect to this declaration," Malloy said. "It came in overnight, I think a little after midnight, and we're waiting for the details."
Malloy said he will also apply for a major disaster declaration, which takes time, and would include potential aid for individuals and businesses.
An 11 a.m. news conference has been scheduled by the Federal Emergency Management Administration and the state's Congressional delegation to address the federal aid issue.
At a Thursday evening briefing in the State Armory, Malloy said it is important for federal aid to flow, so towns and cities can hire contractors. "I had anticipated that all the paperwork necessary would have been executed in Washington before I came out to speak with you," he said.
He said he wasn't sure why there has been a holdup in the declaration, but smaller towns are concerned about entering contracts without the declaration's assurance that taxpayer money spent on cleanup could be recovered.
"I think they would like numbers from municipalities," he said. "I've tried to explain that throughout this crisis I have had as many as 70 towns halls that haven't been open for regular service. I think there's a need that they have or a misunderstanding of the circumstances in which Connecticut finds itself."
Attorney General George Jepsen stepped into the state's blackout controversy on Thursday, asking utility regulators to investigate CL&P's preparedness and response to last Saturday's storm, which left more than 831,000 of its customers in the dark.
The attorney general's request comes on the heels of a separate, active investigation which began last month in review of the reaction by CL&P and the United Illuminating Co. to the August 27-28 tropical storm.
"I have received numerous complaints from affected citizens, many of whom are still waiting for their power to be restored," Jepsen said in a statement. "Reliable electric service is a matter of public health and safety, and Connecticut's citizens deserve to know that the utilities and the state are doing everything possible to provide electric service as soon as possible."
Jepsen asked the state's Public Utility Regulatory Authority to probe CL&P's storm preparations; its contracting and payment protocols for out-of-state work crews; and the results of the response.
Butler said Friday morning that CL&P will wait to address the issue of an investigation until after all power is restored. "Our focus to our customers is restoration," he said.
He warned that as many as five of the state's eight storm-related deaths occurred from carbon monoxide poisoning and beseeched residents to keep generators and gas and charcoal cookers outside their homes.
Malloy said that CL&P was guilty of miscommunicating with their customers and local officials.
"I think there have been things that they said that they thought were true; that a certain number of trucks were making trucks were making contact with municipal officials when that was not the case," Malloy said. "I don't think that that was an intentional issue. Nonetheless that kind of communication breakdown is going to have to be addressed in the future."
Malloy said he's eagerly awaiting the planned restoration of service for nearly all CL&P customers by midnight Sunday.
"I wouldn't want to be in their shoes if they fail to deliver," Malloy said.
Malloy left the media center at the state's emergency center, leaving the podium to Butler, president and chief operating officer of CL&P, who said the restoration is still on track to restore nearly all customers by midnight Sunday.
"The thing I'm sorry about is that so many customers here in Connecticut have been out of power for so long, especially when you think about the weather conditions, the forecast that we've heard that it's going to be colder," Butler said.
"I think the commitment we made to the governor on this is something that we take ownership of," Butler said. "I don't want customers sitting in the dark for a few more days."
Butler said the outages are "not an infrastructure issue, this is a tree issue and we have to deal with it."
In response to a reporter's question, Butler confirmed that after Tropical Storm Irene a consultant was contracted to perform an assessment of temporary repairs made to CL&P's utility poles.
"The temporary repairs were safe, they were reliable," Butler said.
At his evening news conference, Malloy said that the number of people either killed or affected by carbon monoxide poisoning is rising. He said there have been four confirmed deaths and 276 others who have been treated for carbon monoxide poisoning. He urged residents not to bring grills, charcoal or improperly vented heating units into their homes.
Malloy also said more National Guard troops will be helping communities and CL&P with storm cleanup needed for power restoration and to open roads.
The governor also asked that bank late fees be waived because people have having difficulty following the nor'easter.
"We will continue to look to bring in additional crews, and continue to work with the state and municipalities to make safe, clear roads and in some areas restore the business district, as well as to continue to address the critical customer needs."
Butler said Thursday the storm will cost $100 million to cleanup, on top of a $100 million bill the utility has from Tropical Storm Irene.
Parent company Northeast Utilities told investor analysts in September that ratepayers, not investors, will pay for the Irene-related cleanup. It's standard in the industry for ratepayers to pay operating costs such as electrical restoration.
United Illuminating restored 99 percent of its customers Wednesday, completing it's storm relief effort. UI, which has a smaller region to cover than CL&P and didn't take the brunt of the storm, has sent crews to work with CL&P.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Two men were stabbed and one later died from his wounds in the Avondale neighborhood Saturday, police said.
The two were approached by a group about 3:45 a.m. Saturday on the 4000 block of West Melrose Street -- about a block from the intersection of Milwaukee Avenue and Pulaski Road -- and then stabbed, police said.
A 24-year-old man is listed in critical condition at Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and the other, also 24 years old, died about 4 p.m. Saturday.
The Cook County medical examiner's office identified the dead man as Anthony Diaz, but didn't say where he was from.
As of 11:45 p.m. the Cook County medical examiner's office wasn't notified of the death.
Police didn't say what prompted the stabbing.

From DIY gadget site HackedGadgets comes news of the Armed Response RC Car, a remote-controlled car onto which you can mount and remotely fire a very real pistol. Being from Texas and having spent no small amount of my youth playing with BB guns and remote-controlled cars, I was simultaneously horrified and intrigued.
The Armed Response RC Car plans require the sacrifice (though someone with a more dramatic bent might use "apotheosis" in this case instead) of a whole remote-control car, which must be at least partially disassembled in order to add the extra components (including the gun). Depending on your budget and how important you think it is to be able to see what you're shooting at, the Armed Response RC Car can also include a small video camera and transmitter to send back sound and video to the remote operator for display on a monitor.
The actual trigger-pulling mechanism takes advantage of an unused wireless channel in most RC cars' controllers. A typical remote-controlled car can be instructed to drive forward and backward and turn left and right, but there's usually an unused radio channel in the car and controller radios. The Armed Response RC Car uses this channel to transmit "pull" commands to a DC motor with sufficient strength to pull a pistol's trigger (the plans recommend using a weapon with a "sensitive trigger"). For added drama and impact, the channel can also be used to trigger a detonator, which could in turn set off an explosive and give you a tiny bomb on wheels.
Okay, yeah, now I'm feeling a little weird about this.
The design comes courtesy of Jerod Michel in China, and the list of materials is quite easy to acquire (except, potentially, the "payload"). Aside from requiring a remote-controlled car to stick everything on, you'll need some batteries, a 12 volt, 5 amp DC motor, a transistor, a diode, a resistor, and a few other miscellaneous odds and ends. Anyone with basic maker-type skills could pull this design together without any trouble.
And once you've assembled your tiny wheeled terror, what would one do with it? Actually building a remote-controlled guncar and zooming it around your property sounds pretty cool, but the possibility of actually hurting or killing someone—or having your handgun scooped up and stolen—is very real. Replacing the actual pistol with an Airsoft replica or a BB gun certainly downgrades the project's potential lethality, though I'm still not sure it's something I'd want to tackle with my (theoretical, non-existent) kids. Still, though, this sounds like something 10-year-old me would have been desperate to build; with my trusty Marksman air pistol in place, nothing would have been safe... at least, not as long as I could run out to the car and re-cock it after each shot.
Ultimately, whether it's equipped with a rubber band pistol or a Desert Eagle, the responsibility of how the Armed Response RC car is used rests with the builder—at least until a Maximum Overdrive-type situation happens, and then God help us all.

ESA presents Mars in 3D
Mars is about to come into 3D focus as never before, thanks to the data from the Mars Express High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC). A new high-resolution Digital Terrain Model data set that has just been released onto the Internet, will allow researchers to obtain new information about the Red Planet in 3D.
Digital Terrain Models (DTMs) allow scientists to 'stand' on planetary surfaces. Although ordinary images can give spectacular bird's-eye views, they can only convey part of the picture. They miss out on the topography, or the vertical elevation of the surroundings. That's where Mars Express comes in.
The HRSC was especially designed to provide this information and, after years of specialised data processing, the first comprehensive release of 3D data of a large part of the martian surface is now ready. "Understanding the topography of Mars is essential to understanding its geology," says Prof. Gerhard Neukum, Freie Universität (FU) Berlin, Germany, Principal Investigator for the HRSC.
The DTM can instantly tell researchers the slope of hillsides or the height of cliffs, the altitude and slope of lava flows or desert plains. "This data is essential for understanding how water or lava flowed across Mars," says Neukum.
It also helps planetary scientists to better interpret other data sets, for example the results of the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionosphere Sounding (MARSIS). "Once we know where the surface is, we can correctly interpret the radar echoes we get from below it," says former ESA scientist Angelo Rossi, a member of the HRSC team.
The Mars Express DTM is the most detailed topographic data set ever released for Mars. Its release has been made possible by processing individual image swaths taken by the HRSC as Mars Express sweeps through its orbit. The individual swaths are then put together into mosaics that cover large regions. The high-resolution images used have a resolution of 10 m/pixel. The DTM elevation data derived from these images is provided in pixels of up to 50 m, with a height accuracy of 10 m.
The orbit of Mars Express determines the resolution of its pictures. When it is closest to the surface, it can take the most detailed pictures. "As the mission continues, we are gradually filling in the gaps and collecting high-resolution data whenever possible," says Neukum.
The team plans to add more data to the DTMs to extend the surface coverage as Mars Express continues its mission until at least 2009 and HRSC continues its unique scrutiny of the planet.
Notes for editors:
Constructing a Digital Terrain Model requires a spacecraft to look at the same surface feature twice, each time from a different angle. Most attempts to do this in the past have required the spacecraft to target the same feature from two different orbital passes. The High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) on Mars Express is the only experiment that can do it in one pass. To achieve its complementary views, HRSC has nine individual scan lines that point fore, aft and straight down. It therefore sees a feature coming, sees it directly underneath and watches it recede into the distance, providing all the different angles needed.
NASA's Mars Global Surveyor carried a laser altimeter instrument (MOLA) that provided spot heights across the surface of Mars, but these were often separated by many kilometres. HRSC provides altitude data for every data point the camera sees. It is the first time that high-resolution images have been accompanied by high-resolution topography.
The work of deriving new high-resolution archivable DTMs is split between DLR and FU Berlin. The systematic orbit-by-orbit processing of the DTMs is done entirely at DLR's Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, which also runs the HRSC experiment for ESA's Mars Express on behalf of, and in cooperation with, the PI and his team at the Institute of Geological Sciences, FU Berlin.
Mosaics of certain features on Mars, such as the Olympus Mons volcano, are processed at FU Berlin using DTM data of individual strips and specialised software developed within the HRSC Co-Investigator Team.
The additional funding required for the special processing of the individual image swaths and for the creation of the mosaics was provided by the German space agency (DLR), to the DLR Institute for Planetary Research and the Institute for Geological Sciences of the FU Berlin. DTMs had been processed in the past for exclusively scientific and outreach purposes, but with additional resources now available, it is possible to release the DTM data in higher quality.
The Mars Express-HRSC DTMs are available to the science community at large through the archives at the Planetary Science Archive (http://www.rssd.esa.int/PSA) at ESA and the Planetary Data System (http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/mars_express/hrsc.htm) at NASA. A joint website of FU Berlin and DLR provides the capability to the general public to visualise the data online (http://hrscview.fu-berlin.de).

Braun's hot spring hitting continues in win over A's
Gallardo allows three hits and a run, but strikes out four in solid start
PHOENIX -- Ryan Braun remained red hot Wednesday, hitting his second Spring Training home run in the Brewers' 7-2 win over the A's at Maryvale Baseball Park.
Braun singled in the first inning before he homered to lead off the fourth against A's right-hander Jarrod Parker. Braun, who tied the game at 1 when he connected with Parker's 0-2 changeup, has reached safely in eight of his nine Cactus League plate appearances.
"I played with fire, I told him that when I saw him outside the clubhouse," said Parker, who ran into Braun during the game and asked what pitch he was looking for. "Just wrong location. I wanted it to be away and it ran back over the plate. If it's away it's probably swung through or fouled off.
"He was looking to battle at that point and he barreled it up."
"I think it was actually a really good pitch," Braun said. "It helped that I had seen it the pitch before and swung and missed at it. I think the second time you see any pitch, you have a better chance to be successful with it."
Reigning Brewers Minor League player of the year Jason Rogers gave Milwaukee the lead with an RBI single later in the fourth inning, and the Brewers added three insurance runs in the fifth and another in the sixth to pull away. Catcher Martin Maldonado's two-run double in the fifth inning was his first Cactus League hit after an 0-for-11 start.
Right fielder Michael Taylor led the A's with a home run leading off the second inning, and later doubled and scored in the sixth. A's catcher Stephen Vogt had three hits and an RBI.
Parker was charged with one run and two hits in 3 1/3 innings for Oakland, and Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo allowed one run on three hits in 2 2/3 innings, and recorded half of his eight outs via strikeout. Milwaukee's closer, Jim Henderson, made his spring debut by pitching a clean fifth inning, and right-handed prospect Hiram Burgos struck out three batters in two scoreless frames.
Up next: Milwaukee's long homestand continues Thursday when Kyle Lohse takes the mound against the Rockies at Maryvale Baseball Park, and for the second time this week, manager Ron Roenicke will have instant replay at his disposal. The Brewers already played one game with replay in use, but neither Roenicke nor Cubs manager Rick Renteria found a call worth reviewing. Thursday's game will be televised by FS Wisconsin and broadcast via radio on the Brewers' statewide network.

Product Care
At Rigby & Peller, we believe Lingerie and Swimwear aftercare is of the utmost importance.
Special care is needed when washing your fine lingerie and swimwear. If you follow the care instructions below, it will help keep your lingerie beautiful for longer.
Always follow the care instructions given on the label of your lingerie.
Ideally, you should wash your lingerie after having worn it for one day.
We strongly advise you to wash your lingerie by hand.
Delicate laces and embroideries will last much longer if washed gently by hand. Fill a tub with warmish water (max 30°C) and detergent, and repeatedly immerse the lingerie. Make sure that the lingerie keeps moving. Don't wring it or rub it. Rinse with clear warmish water (max 30°C) until all the detergent is gone.
Never put lingerie in the tumble drier, but hang it out to dry. Lingerie can dry flat on a towel or be hung on a drying rack. Always hang the bra by the central front panel so it can dry evenly. Never put lingerie on a heat source. Only put lingerie away if it is completely dry. Lingerie should not be ironed.
Always follow the care instructions given on the label of your swimwear.
- Avoid wearing new swimwear in the sauna or Jacuzzi as this can cause serious degradation to the garment. We would suggest that an older garment is used as an alternative.
- Avoid contact with chlorine and sunscreen.
- Rinse swimwear immediately after every use in clean, cold water.
- Wash swimwear in cold water with detergent. Use a mild liquid detergent for delicate wash. Never let it soak overnight. Never wring swimwear.
- Never put swimwear in the tumble drier, but hang it out to dry. Swimwear can dry flat on a towel or be hung on a drying rack. Only put swimwear away if it is completely dry.
Please note, we are unable to accept as faulty returned lingerie or swimwear where damage has been caused by not following the washing instructions on the label.

Cody Elementary students honor veterans in special ceremony
Millard elementary school students honored veterans by reading poems and singing songs.
Cody Elementary School students held a special program Friday recognizing family and friends who are veterans.
"They did things for us, and we need to do something back for them," said fifth-grader McKenna Ruch.
"They helped us and saved our country," said fifth-grader Maggie Kulasiak.
Students read poems and sang songs to give thanks.
"I think it's fun because I see lots of veterans, and when they come in, I say, 'Welcome,' and offer them a flag," said fifth-grader Jacob Mason.
The school's principal, Ryan Saunders, said the goal of the program is to teach honor and respect for those who have served our country.
"For them to come and know that we're acknowledging that with their children or grandchildren, and they get to be a part of that. I think that's pretty powerful," Saunders said.
Veterans said the kids sent a powerful message.
"Just getting young kids to pay reverence to what we've done just really means a lot to us," said veteran David Strohbehn.
"We always feel that we didn't do anything special, we just did a job. But when they tell us that it was a special, again, it kind of gives you that certain special feeling," said veteran Richard Turnbow.

Students in St. Bonaventure University's Department of Physical Education presented the session "Cutting Edge Programs" at the New York State Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Conference held Nov. 21-22, 2013.
The discussion was led by St. Bonaventure graduate assistant Lauren Capotorto and Physical Activity Club (PAC) President Quinn Shoen and Vice President Joe Battaglia. The three students were among those who participated in the spring 2013 special topics course — Leadership through Special Olympics — that trained students as event managers to coordinate a unified basketball competition with elementary/middle school teams from Olean and Allegany-Limestone school districts.
University students who volunteered at the unified competition, Zach Gelen, Ellen Bagley, Abigail Rocque and Danny Kelly, co-presented at this conference session. St. Bonaventure associate professor Dr. Paula Scraba, Allison Barnes and Bill Collins, director of training for Special Olympics of New York, provided guidance for schools seeking to meet the responsibilities from section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act by offering Unified Sports Programs.
In addition, St. Bonaventure students and faculty were part of another one-day intensive training workshop session presentation with Special Olympics of New York, "Athletics Training Program Certification through Track and Field."
This active coach's certification session taught participants the way of the future for encouraging athletes of all abilities and ages to compete at their optimum level. Through the track-and-field-based athletics training program, coaches were provided information to develop total fitness for athletes to compete in any sport and demonstrated the use of some of the latest equipment, such as indoor shots, standing long jump pads, and indoor javelins. As with all Special Olympics sports, the athletics general session offered coaches ways to integrate athletes for opportunities to learn through skill development and competitive settings and to be involved in large social settings.
This Unified Sports Program with the Allegany and Olean schools led to a $2,500 Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation Award through St. Bonaventure, Scraba said.
"This is one of more than 2,000 programs in 42 states that are transforming the social acceptance culture in their schools through Unified Sports Programs," added Scraba.
This spring at SBU, the Special Olympics course will be offered as a Clare 401 Senior Forum course in two sections to encourage students of majors across campus to have the opportunity to experience the transformation of social integration through Unified Sports Program.
For more information about the course or the unified program, contact Dr. Paula J. Scraba at firstname.lastname@example.com.

A couple of nights ago I got on the BX 7 and said hello to a driver that I didn't recognize. It was rush hour, the bus was crowded, and the driver, who looked to be in his mid-fifties, drove in fits and starts, with a heavy foot on the break. It was enough to make you sick to your stomach, one of those instances that made me appreciate competent drivers.
I appreciate good workers in all walks of life–I've talked about my old barber at length in this space–which is why I make it a point to say "thank you" to the motorman–or woman–on the subway as I leave the train. I dig professionals. Who says "thanks" to them, after all? And yet, they help get us where we need to go. I always appreciate people who are professional because that's what I aspire to be–though I don't always succeed.
That in mind, I went to Resto, a Belgian-influenced restaurant on 29th street, with an old pal last night. I've been meaning to go for a minute now, mainly to try their hangover pasta, a dish that comes highly recommended. Unfortunately, they don't serve it for dinner, but any disappointment I felt about that news was overshadowed by how we were greeted by the wait staff. It was early in the evening and only a few tables were filled. It seemed like a free-for-all in terms of who would wait on us because we were approached by three different people in quick succession.
The first dude hovered over out table. I said hello. He ignored me and asked if we wanted tap or bottled water. He left and was replaced by another guy who I said hello too as well. He said hi back, which was an improvement, but then he stumbled through the specials which I had to prompt him to share with us. When he left my friend said, "Dumb and dumber."
"The food had better be good," I said.
Then came the third waiter, a brunette, maybe in her early thirties, wearing the Resto uniform t-shirt with the slogan, "Funny, She Doesn't Look Flemish." She asked if she could help us with anything on the menu. Relieved, I asked her question after question and then asked her to recommend a salad. She didn't hesitate in suggesting a raw kale salad with toasted almonds and brown butter vinagrette, "I get it every time I come here to eat." She explained that the kale was Tuscan kale, not at all the tough, dark green that we eat cooked. Since that looked like the last thing we'd order and it was the first thing she suggested, we ordered it.
She introduced her self as Lou Ann–it was something with a Lou, I think I've got it straight–and answered all of our questions thoughtfully and directly. She was assertive but not a hustler–and spoke to us in a plain, engaging manner. I told her that we were happy to have her helping us after the first two dipshits and she assured us that she'd be our waiter for the rest of the meal.
She was right about the kale salad. The greens had a slightly coarse, pleasing texture, and they were tender, without any bitterness. It was very simple but outstanding. We also had the deviled eggs, served over a fried pork toast, the most popular starter in the place according to Lou Ann. They were sinful but too heavy for me, a little greasy. One was enough for a taste.
We also both had burgers and they were simple but excellent, comparable, if not preferable to the ones I've recently had at The Spotted Pig and Five Napkin Burger.
I wanted to try dessert but there was no need. I resisted the urge to try the waffle ice cream sandwich or the apple crumble pie served with gingerbread ice cream and salty carmel. (Salty carmel? Drool.) I had a satisfying cup of tea instead and my pal ordered a regular cup of coffee that he said was so good that he'd come back just for the coffee. On our way out I interruped Lou Ann as she attended to another table to tell her that she was very good at her job. I hope her bosses notice–along with the more than tasty food, her service–attentive but not intrusive–helped make for a warm, pleasant evening. A reason to go back, for sure.
Which I will do, for the Tuscan kale salad and a stab at that hangover pasta.

The goal of Linux Lite is to introduce Windows users to an intuitively simple, alternative operating system. Linux Lite is a showcase for just how easy it can be to use linux. From familiar software like Firefox and Thunderbird, to simply named menu items, to one click updates and software installs we hope that you will find Linux Lite an enjoyable computing experience.
Linux Lite is based on the Ubuntu LTS series of releases. LTS stands for Long Term Support, this means each release has a support period of 5 years. This is a great basis for stability, but not only that, you only need to install once every 5 years. During that period your system will continue to receive updates. Linux Lite is fully functional out of the box, this means that you won't have to install extra software when you boot your computer for the first time. We believe that a computer should be ready to use straight away on the first boot after a new install. You're going to need this kind of functionality on a daily basis when you are using your computer so we take the hassle out of trying to find the right software from the start.

Psystar's counterclaims that OS X being tied to only Apple hardware violates US antitrust acts have been dismissed by US District Judge William Alsup.
A 19-page decision by Alsup dismisses claims from Psystar that Apple's OS X should not be kept proprietary, bringing the focus back to the clone company.
Apple has already filed a lawsuit against Psystar after it began selling 'OpenMac' PCs which used Apple's OS X – alleging that the company has violated licences, trademarks and copyright.
Legal support
Psystar's response was to counterclaim that Apple keeping its OS to its own hardware was anticompetitive restraint of trade.
However, Alsup's summation suggests that Psystar did not provide sufficient legal support to back up its central point that the Apple OS constituted a market.
Psystar now has 20 days to amend its claims before they are thrown out entirely – but it's looking increasingly likely that Goliath has the edge over David in this case.

The July 4 inauguration of the United States Embassy in the heart of this city is the last stone in the postwar edifice of a whole and free Europe, diplomats say.
But Berliners are calling the building – perhaps unfairly – an architectural 'triumph of banality' more fitting for a Kansas cornfield.
Either way, the event is rich in symbolism. The embassy reopens on land the US owned in 1941 when Adolph Hitler declared war on the US. The property abuts the Brandenburg Gate, a noman's land in the cold war, and is a block from the German Reichstag.
"It's a very big piece of history," says John Kornblum, a former US ambassador. "It's a look back and a look forward at a time when Europe is going to change very fast, at a time when the Germans see they can't always live under a big US umbrella."
The German reaction to the new embassy has been almost universal dismay at the building itself with some saying the security-manic Americans should have built it in the relatively safe suburbs.
"We could have built an embassy out in the woods at half the cost and twice the security," current US ambassador William Timken Jr. said early this year. "We are here as a symbol of our desire to be a partner to Germany."
Mr. Kornblum, now a Berlin resident and counselor for the firm of Norr Stiefenhofer Lutz, says, "We were determined to be here because of the history.... If the Nazis couldn't chase us off the site, we weren't going to let the mayor of Berlin do it."
The site, first procured in the 1930s, was returned after the Berlin Wall fell and then haggled over for more than a decade. The US Congress cut building funds by $50 million to $130 million. Feelings in Berlin ran high, with one former mayor saying the US should put a McDonald's restaurant up instead. The State Department allowed a security accommodation when Berlin city officials refused to push a safety zone out into prime Pariser Platz real estate. Indeed, Pariser Platz, anchored by the four-horse chariot – topped Brandenburg Gate, is one of the most significant spaces in Germany – the place where East Germans poured into the West in 1989, and close to where President Reagan challenged Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to "tear down this [Berlin] wall," the symbol of divided Europe.
When the construction scaffolding for the new embassy was torn down earlier this year to reveal a modest postmodern design by the US architectural firm of Moore Ruble Yudell – German papers piled on with a torrent of scorn.
Defenders say criticism smacks more of a political harangue at the image of 2008 America than a fair-minded assessment of a government building whose design was agreed to by a binational jury in 1994.
German negative reaction of the building split between a critique of a drab and an expressionless design and a perception of clunky security. The Süddeutsches SP Zeitung termed it "Fort Knox at the Brandenburg Gate."
The Berliner Zeitung wrote, "It is hard to believe the US – the country where public relations was born and where the art of symbolic exaggeration is mastered like almost nowhere else – has decided to occupy this location with a piece of run-of-the-mill architecture that says nothing."
Die Welt opined: "…Only the Chinese embassy is uglier."
Leading American expats in Berlin seem genuinely stung by the reaction. Many argue that the structure was specifically designed to blend in with the rest of the Pariser Platz square. The entrance is bordered by two banks, a glass-fronted art museum, and a classic German hotel.
Standing at the Pariser Platz, Gary Smith, director of the American Academy in Berlin, calls the flood of criticism "ridiculous.… [T]his square now looks like the future – cosmopolitan and open."
Mr. Smith, whose father-in-law was a juror for the 1994 design panel, says there was much debate over classic and modern designs – but the final priority was to complement neighboring structures.
The new embassy "blends well with the ensemble of buildings on the most important square in Germany," Smith says. "It isn't the most avant-garde of structures, but I'm glad the US chose discretion over pomposity. It is a subtle solution to a very difficult space."
One US source involved with the embassy project says, "nothing has changed in the design since 1994. I wonder if the critics really looked at the building. The windows aren't pill box slits, they are typical size for this neighborhood."
Berliners seem to appreciate that the old embassy has closed – allowing a freer flow of traffic in city center.
"The old embassy was a no-go area, a dead zone in Berlin-Mitte," says Bastian Hermisson, foreign-policy director for the Henrich Boll Foundation, which is affiliated with the Green Party. "We hope the new place will be an open symbol. These July 4 festivals can be important – not as receptions for the political class, but something open, where the Americans are saying, 'Hey, let's have some burgers together.' This is something we like."

The schoolgirl who stated that she was expelled due to an HIV AIDS fear, held a protest opposite the Gampaha Zonal Education office from March 24.
The girl, who attended the Gampaha - Ganemulla Kudabollatha Sri Sumangala Vidyalaya, claims she was stopped from attending school from February 20 due to the actions of education authorities.
Incidentally, the girl who was due to sit for the Grade 5 scholarship examination this year, had excelled in her studies coming first in the class from Grade 1 to Grade 5 continuously. This girl who lost her opportunity to attend school in February last year too was given the opportunity to restart schooling due to the intervention of the Human Rights Commission.
According to the girl's guardians, although the principal had promised the opportunity for her to attend school without hindrance, he had allegedly prevented her from attending school from March 20, citing the incidents which occurred last year.
The guardians alleged that even though the principal was summoned to the Zonal Office for a discussion on the matter, he had arrived at the Zonal Office and left unnoticed after leaving behind his motorcycle.

Back in April, Anvil made their appearance in Worcester, MA at The Palladium as part of The New England Metal & Hardcore Festival. The band was part of the Thursday night pre-show that included the New England premiere of the documentary and their concert immeadiately after. I was set to go but the problem was that my wife's birthday was the same day as the show! I was told to go, my wife is understanding when it comes to Metal, but there are some lines you don't cross and missing my wife's birthday party was one I wasn't prepared to try. So I never went. The good news was that the movie has been enjoying a long run at a theater in Cambridge, MA but the hour plus drive into the Boston metro area is something I like to avoid.
So I'm sitting at my computer after work early Saturday morning and I'm searching for info online for the inevitable DVD release in the U.S. and I found a local link to the Avon Cinema in Providence, RI. The Anvil movie started a run there Thursday and the theater is only 15 mins from home! Armed with my iPod blaring Anvil's latest album, THIS IS THIRTEEN, and the hardcover book of The Story Of Anvil, I made my way down to Thayer Street (near Brown University) for the matinee show.
Thayer Street used to be one of my hangouts in the early '90s when I was in college, there were plenty of bars and record shops to go along with all the college girls from Brown University. It was a cool place to hang and party back in the day but as I finished school, and the record shops started closing, I stopped going down that way. I probably haven't been down that area in a good 10 years so I decided to get there early and take in some of the shops. Nothing…..I couldn't find any of them, there were none left! Turns out the shop I was looking for, In Your Ear Records, moved to Warren, RI so I had nothing to do but buy my movie ticket, listen to some Anvil and wait.
Waiting in the tiny lobby of the old school theater, I found a lot of kindred spirits. There were a few older Metalheads like me bringing their kids to see the movie but what really made the day were the kids/teens that made their way to the movie on their own to discover some Metal. I ended up talking to a group of 5 kids, all within the ages of 13-17, and they were like sponges for Metal information. They saw my Heaven & Hell tour shirt and we started talking. It's nice to see the younger generation embracing Heavy Metal and it's history. It's sounds a bit corny to say something like that but kids nowadays don't have as many independent record shops or flea markets like I did. There isn't radio airplay and MTV is a joke, the only way these kids learn is from the Internet and their parents' music collections. There were about 20 of us in the lobby talking Metal, talking Anvil, and there was just a great vibe almost like going to a concert.
So the doors open, we all file in the theater, and we endure 10 mins of previews! Those things should be outlawed! The movie starts off with some classic Anvil footage of the Japan SuperRock show in '84…..exactly like the trailer. There was a lot of applause seeing the old footage and a lot of laughter seeing Lips using his trademark dildo to play his guitar!
I'm not going to ruin the movie for everyone by going through the entire story, I'll save that for the eventual DVD review when VH-1 Classic Records sets a U.S. release date for the soundtrack and DVD, I just want to give some thoughts and highlights. Basically, the documentary centers around the history of Anvil, the highs and lows of being in a legendary band that never quite achieved success, and the journey of making THIS IS THIRTEEN. I was a young kid when I discovered Anvil so I'm an old time fan, it was really cool to see one of the bands I grew up with on the big screen. There was enough claasic footage to satisfy my old school cravings and there was plenty of recent tour footage (circa 2006/2007 before THIS IS THIRTEEN) to give me an idea of where Anvil is. The comparisons to Spinal Tap are inevitable and obvious, there is definitely some comedy to Anvil's journey: how can so much bad shit happen to one band? Especially one that is so influential to a lot of Metal heavyweights (Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth, Slash, Slayer, etc.)? There was a bit of laughter when some of the lower points of the tour were showed like the band missing a few trains, band fights, venues that hold 10,000 and less than 200 show up…..definitely Spinal Tap! I took it seriously and, even though I laughed a bit too, I couldn't help but ask the same question that the movie asks over and over: How did Anvil not become stars?
The answers come from the book, something I recommend people read because you get so much more information and insight to the band's history and the film. I'm 2/3 of the way through the book but I was able to fill in parts of the movie with the information I had read, it made everything more enjoyable. Like I said, I took the documentary seriously because I really love Metal and a band like Anvil, that I grew up with, is close to my heart. Not trying to get all sentimental here but when you love something, you pursue it and that's one of the main themes of Lips' and Robbo's career, it's the reason they keep going. One of the scenes in the film shows Lips' 50th birthday party at a club with Anvil playing a set. There are some longtime Anvil diehards there singing all the words right into the camera in the drunken Metal splendor and, even though they were funny, I identified with them, I identified with the band. I'm going to be 37 this year, I've put in 29 years of Metal fandom in and I can't see that stopping as I go forward to the 40s and 50s.
Back to Anvil…..another part of the movie I really got into was the making of THIS IS THIRTEEN with legendary Metal producer Chris Tsangarides. I really thought the album was one of the best of 2007 and it was really cool to see everything from the band sending a demo to Tsangarides, to raising the money, to the studio performances, and the decision to release the album themselves. It gave an insight to the creative process but also the personal journey the band invested in culminating in a triumphant sold-out appearance at a Metal festival in Tokyo, Japan.
When the movie ended, there was some applause from the audience because it was a really great film. I ended up talking to some people outside the theater and gave them some links to some cool Metal websites so they could check out some Anvil and other bands from the early '80s that these people remembered but lost touch with. All in all, a great film and a great band. I will definitely be going back for another show sometime this week and I'm going to take my 10 yr old daughter with me so she can add Anvil to her Heavy Metal discovery.
Go see this film! Metal On Metal!

Imagine. You pop open the fridge and bypass bottles and cans for a nice cold draft beer in the comfort of your own home.
After Miller-Coors LLC got settled into their new headquarters in Chicago in the last year, the country's second largest brewer has been busy creating the "Home Draft" of its popular Miller Lite and Coors Lite bear that comes in a 1 1/2-gallon box. Now, for $20, you can have fresh draft beer in your fridge for up to 30 days.
The system, which comes in an upright, recyclable container, is being tested in six cities including San Diego, Dallas and Pheonix. It is the latest effort by beer companies trying to tap (sorry, we had to include the pun) into a share of the shrinking marketplace.
U.S. & World
Two notes: It's not meant to be drunk all at once and that draft beer taste will cost you about 15 percent more than its 18-beer counterpart.
Apparently, the party keg still has a purpose.

Peter Huber is a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute writing on the issues of drug development, energy, technology, and the law.
Huber is the author of The Cure in the Code: How 20th Century Law Is Undermining 21st Century Medicine(Basic Books, 2013.) He wrote The Bottomless Well, coauthored with Mark Mills, which Bill Gates said "is the only book I've ever seen that really explains energy, its history and what it will be like going forward". Huber's previous book, Hard Green: Saving the Environment from the Environmentalists (Basic Books, 2000), which was called "the richest contribution ever made to the greening of the political mind" by William F. Buckley, Jr., set out a new conservative manifesto on the environment which advocates a return to conservation and environmental policy based on sound science and market economics. In 1997 he authored two books, Law and Disorder in Cyberspace: Abolish the FCC and Let Common Law Rule the Telecosm, which is an examination of telecommunications policy (Oxford University Press) and (with the University of Pennsylvania's Kenneth Foster)Judging Science, Scientific Knowledge and the Federal Courts (MIT Press). Previous books include Orwell's Revenge: The 1984 Palimpsest, (Free Press, 1994), Galileo's Revenge: Junk Science in the Courtroom (Perseus Book Group, 1991); and Liability: The Legal Revolution and its Consequences (Basic Books, 1988).
Huber has also published articles in scholarly journals such as the Harvard Law Review and the Yale Law Journal, as well as many other publications, including Science, The Wall Street Journal, Reason, Regulation, and National Review. He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, including Face the Nation and The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer.
Before joining the Manhattan Institute, Huber served as an assistant and later associate professor at MIT for six years. He clerked on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and then on the U.S. Supreme Court for Sandra Day O'Connor. Huber also is a partner at the Washington, D.C. law firm of Kellogg, Huber, Hansen and Todd.
Huber earned his law degree from Harvard University and a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from MIT.
