Entering the 1990s, communication in the scientific community has become more complex than ever before. Scientists are armed with highly advanced information technologies and are able to cumulate the knowledge reservoir at a faster pace. But unfortunately, due to language, economic and technological barriers, communication is unbalanced between scientists in China and other parts of the world. Such an unbalance can have many reasons, but from the information communication perspective, it can be seen in two ways.
The first is to view scientific communication as a process that scientists directly participate in and are able to control. This type of communication takes the forms of research collaboration, citations in research papers, conference attendance and so on. If one uses these as variables to measure scientific communication, they can be referred to as endogenous measures, each of which can be divided further into subcategories. Research collaboration by type, for example, can be divided into intro-departmental, inter-departmental, inter-institutional and international collaborations. One can easily obtain data through bibliographic information. These variables are useful for people to know how many researchers and organizations have been involved in a research activity, so that one can understand better the scientific communication across departments, institutions, regions and countries.
Another way to see scientific communication is from the information transfer cycle, in which scientists as producers and users participate indirectly in collecting, storing, organizing and delivering the information and have less control over the process. Such a process involves the flow of research data and published output. The measures for this type of communication can be referred to as exogenous variables. The flow of research data (such as observatory data, field experimental data, scientific expedition data, etc.), for example, largely depends on the communications technology available. The flow of publications is another example. It involves the whole information industry that is responsible for publishing, collecting, storing, representing, delivering and providing access to the publications. Both flows are almost beyond the control of scientists.
Though research collaboration in China has increased rapidly since the 1980s, the scale is still very limited both at national and international levels. Based on the data from the journal Science in China (Series A & B) from 1990-1993, one finds that non-collaboration and intro-departmental collaboration occupy the two largest proportions: 26% and 45%, respectively. The proportions diminish to much smaller numbers as the scope of collaboration increases to inter-departmental in an institution, inter-institutional in a country and international levels. To be precise, inter-departmental collaboration is about 4%,inter-institutional 16% and international 7%. Comparing a sample from the Science Citation Index (SCI) (SCI data used here is a sample that the author selected through computer-generated random numbers for her dissertation), non-collaboration is only 14%, half less than that in Science in China; intro-departmental collaboration 37%; inter-departmental 6%, inter-institutional 30% and international 13%, almost double that in Science in China.
Though the collaboration in Science in China was less developed in terms of its scope, Chinese scientists extensively used the literature in foreign languages. In the same set of data from Science in China, research papers in astronomy, chemistry, life sciences, mathematics and physics had percentages in the teens of citations to Chinese literature, and those in Earth sciences and technology had 37.55% and 21.72%, respectively. Most of the citations were to English literature, ranging from 60-85% for all disciplines. Earth sciences are a particular case in which the use of Chinese literature was the highest. This is probably because research in this field has largely focused on the geological, geophysical or oceanographic phenomena in China. Most of the observational and surveying data are recorded and published in Chinese.
Citation age is another indicator for scientific communication. It reflects the currency of the information used by scientists. In analyzing the distribution of the relative and cumulative frequencies of citation age, the data from Science in China show that only about 6% of the information used is current (i.e., citation age equal to one year), 34% has two- to five-year time lags and about 25% had six- to ten-year timelags. These three groups comprise approximately 65% of the total.
Conferences are a good way to network people, initiate collaborative research projects and keep abreast of new developments. Chinese scientists have been very active in this form of communication. According to statistics, there were 14,405 national conferences in science and technology held in China in 1990, a total of 1,118,752 people attended and 381,573 papers were presented (Chinese Statistical Yearbook on Science and Technology 1991, edited by State Statistical Bureau, State Science and Technology Commission in Beijing). That is to say, nearly 40 national conferences were held each day in China and each conference had an average of 77 participants. In addition, more than one international conference was held each day with an average of 52 papers presented by Chinese scientists per conference. International conferences held outside China had fewer participants from the Chinese scientist community.
Although Chinese scientists have been very active in communicating with their colleagues in the world, most of their work is still unknown by the outside world. In 1990, the Chinese scientist community published 88,723 papers in Chinese scientific journals. There were only 6055 covered by Science Citation Index, counting for 6.83% of the 88,723. The coverage in the other two sources was even smaller: 2840 (3.2%) by Engineering Index and 2369 (2.67%) by Index to Scientific and Technology Proceedings.
The published output within the country increased dramatically in the past decade, but the process of making it available to scientists was slow. In spite of information industry efforts to develop Chinese bibliographical information databases, many bibliographic searches for Chinese scientific documents have to be done manually. The research and academic libraries have been experimenting with various kinds of systems for processing primary information and providing better secondary information products and services. But until the early 1990s, only a few of them were formally in use.
The above data represent partly the status of scientific communication in China. The characteristics of the communication can be summarized as follows:

|Day Part
|Menu Part
|Appetizer/Small Plate
|Cuisine Type
Source: RIS; photo courtesy of Laura Padgett
This dish is essentially a ceviche topped with granita, but dramatically presented in a stemmed glass and served with tortilla chips.
Tequila Ice
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 1/2 cups freshly squeezed lime juice
1 tbsp. lime zest
1/2 oz. tequila
Ancho Chile Paste
2 ancho chilies
1 cup orange juice
Scallop Margarita
1 lb. fresh, dry, scallops, cut into 1/2 in. chunks
1 small red onion, julienned
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves picked and covered with a damp cloth
1 jalapeño, seeds removed, chili julienned
1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice
1 scallion, chopped
1 avocado, cut into cubes
1 poblano chile, toasted, peeled, seeds removed and julienned
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 cup sour cream
2 seedless oranges, sectioned
3 limes, 2 cut into 6 slit rounds (save the last for squeezing)
Tortilla chips
- Prepare Tequila Ice: Combine sugar and water in small, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add lime juice, zest and tequila. Stir well and pour into a flat container. (Liquid should be 3/4 inch deep.) Place in freezer for at least 6 hr., running a fork through mixture every hr. to loosen into ice flakes.
- Prepare Ancho Chile Paste: Remove stem and seeds from ancho chilies. Place in a small saucepan and cover with orange juice. Heat gently until chilies are soft. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
- Puree ancho chile mixture in blender, then strain through fine sieve. Mix orange sections with 1 tbsp. ancho puree, 2 oz. olive oil, salt and pepper. Store covered in refrigerator until ready to use.
- About 1 hr. before serving, prepare Scallop Margarita: Mix diced scallops, 1/2 red onion, pinch of cilantro and a pinch of jalapeno with lime juice. Cover and refrigerate, tossing scallops every 20 min. to ensure even marinating.
- After 45 min., taste a scallop to measure if it is "cooked" to your liking. Once cooked, strain out lime juice, separating scallops from cilantro, red onion and jalapeno in the process.
- Place scallops in a large bowl and add remaining red onion, cilantro and jalapeno, along with scallion, avocado and poblano. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle with olive oil and juice of 1 lime. Mix gently and season with more salt, pepper, olive oil or even lime juice to taste.
- For service: Divide scallops into 6 even portions. Place half of each portion in the bottom of a margarita glass Spread 1 tbsp. sour cream over scallops, followed by orange sections; top off with second half of scallop portion. Finish with a small scoop of tequila ice and garnish with lime slice. Serve with tortilla chips.
- Rub edges of each glass with lime and dip upside down in salt to coat rim.

Cinna is a division of Ligne Roset that only exists in France — but Cinna products are displayed and available from Ligne Roset stores outside of France. The differences between the lines is more apparent when viewed individually. Yesterday, I shared some of my favorites from the Ligne Roset booth from Maison & Objet — these images are all part of the Cinna collection…
The new line of products from Cinna will make it to US Ligne Roset stores mid-to-late summer.

Actress and singer Selena Gomez has been announced as the host for WE Day, which brings together youth to celebrate the action they have taken on social issues. Students can gain admittance to WE Day by participating in one local and one global cause of their choice. More than 16,000 are expected to attend the April 27 event at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
"My first WE Day experience was three years ago and to say I was impressed is an understatement," Gomez said in a statement. "The electricity of an arena full of thousands of young people who are making real change in the world is like nothing I've ever experienced. I am grateful to be a part of such a supportive community and hope I can inspire the kids at WE Day just as they continue to inspire me."
Alicia Keys is scheduled to perform at the event. Demi Lovato, Bryan Cranston, DJ Khaled, Miss Piggy along with other Muppets, Alessia Cara, Josh Gad, Lilly Singh, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Tyrese Gibson and more are expected to make appearances.
"I think kids especially, with social media sometimes, they just feel a little claustrophobic, and I don't think their voice is actually being heard," Gomez told E! "I want people to know that every single life is valuable, that their voice can be heard, and that there are people who are willing to be there for them."

South Dakota State is Number Ten in Pre-Season Football Poll
After advancing to the second round of the FCS playoffs last season, the expectations are high for the 2013 South Dakota State football team.
One national publication agrees, Athlon Sports has the Jackrabbits at number 10 in their pre-season poll. The assessment of SDSU:
Zach Zenner led the FCS in rushing yards (2,044 yards) as a sophomore and is the focal point of the offense.
But the Jackrabbits need quarterback Austin Sumner to provide his 2011 level of production instead of last year's drop-off.
Sophomore linebacker T.J. Lally is a big-game player already.
SDSU finished 2012 with a 9-4 record and a runner-up finish in the Missouri Valley Conference to eventual National Champion North Dakota State.
The Jackrabbits open the season August 31st at home against Butler.
SDSU has three games against pre-season Top 25 teams on the schedule in 2013. The Jacks host #1 North Dakota State, September 28th, host #14 Northern Iowa, October 26th, and play at #23 Youngstown State, November 23rd.
One other Missouri Valley Conference team made the Top 25, Illinois State at #24. The Redbirds are not on the SDSU schedule in 2013.
After NDSU, the rest of the Top 5: Montana State, Georgia Southern, Sam Houston State, and Villanova.

The Queensland premier is postponing a planned visit to cyclone-hit Cooktown as a major road is cut off and strong winds make helicopter travel unsafe.
Campbell Newman had earlier promised to travel from Cairns on Saturday afternoon to see how Cyclone Ita had uprooted trees and destroyed a pub in the coastal community north of the Daintree National Park.
But a spokesman for the premier told AAP that Mr Newman would postpone his visit until Sunday.
"We're now not planning on doing it until it's safe," he said.
About 700 homes in Cooktown are still without power but mobile phone services are working.
The roof was also ripped off the West Coast Hotel, along with some homes, after Ita made landfall north of the town on Friday night as a category four system.
The Mulligan Highway into the town of about 2300 people remains closed because of flooding at the Annan River.
Earlier, Mr Newman said he had hoped to visit Cook Shire mayor Peter Scott.
"This afternoon, if it is safe and practical, I intend to go to Cooktown," he told reporters.
"That will depend, of course, on weather conditions."
Winds of up to 120km/h could hit areas from Cooktown south to Port Douglas on Saturday afternoon, the Bureau of Meteorology said in a 3pm update.

From The American Lawyer: "For the hyperambitious, the only federal court clerkships worth striving for are in the chambers of elite judges, acting as way stations on the road to a clerkship on the U.S. Supreme Court. Some choose a different path to clerkship paradise, however, one that leads through courts in the South Pacific. These former U.N. trust territories have legal systems similar to those of the United States. And many invite American law graduates to spend a year or two working in their courts as clerks and counsel" For more information, please click here.

· The 45-D's capabilities:
Aireox recommends their Purafil/Carbon PC mixture thats in our Model D Unit when dealing with aggressive chemicals/gases, like formaldehyde in homes or polyvinyl chlorides in automobiles. Purafil is made from potassium permanganate. It works in a different manner than carbon. Harmful contaminant gases such as Formaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, nitric oxide are actually oxidized and are trapped within the pellet. This Product is generally not used as a sole media. Aireox has researched and found that mixing Purafil and carbon is more effective.

KABUL, Afghanistan, March 14 (UPI) -- The U.S. commander in Afghanistan put his forces on alert, warning a series of anti-American statements by President Hamid Karzai may endanger troops.
In his advisory to top commanders Wednesday, Gen. Joseph F. Dunford Jr. said Karzai's remarks "could be a catalyst for some to lash out against our forces -- he may also issue orders that put our forces at risk," The New York Times reported.
The command threat advisory was issued as backlash grows against Karzai's public denunciations of the United States, including a speech in which he suggested that his government might act unilaterally to ensure control of the Bagram prison if the United States delays its handover.
The advisory specifically mentioned Karzai's comments concerning Bagram, warning commanders to be on guard against insider attacks by Afghan forces against Western troops, as well as Taliban violence.
Brig. Gen. Stephen M. Twitty, the head of communications for the military in Kabul, told the Times a more general threat advisory typically would have gone out in April, but recent events pushed it earlier.
"This is prudent," Twitty said. "It's making sure the force is seeing the same thing we're seeing. It's our job to alert the force."
Karzai's comments on Bagram is the latest public statements and positions critical of the United States, including banning Special Operations forces from a key province and suggesting the Taliban and the United States were essentially working together keep each other in Afghanistan.
An Obama administration official told the Times Wednesday commanders on the ground were taking steps appropriate for the situation. The official also said that while many in the administration were "obviously unhappy" with Karzai's comments, the current military assistance plan for Afghanistan wouldn't be derailed.
In Kabul, representatives from 14 political parties conducted a news conference to denounce the president's stance.
"All these remarks may destroy our relations with the international community, and especially America, and lead to the isolation of Afghanistan again," said Faizullah Zaki, the spokesman for Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, an Uzbek leader and warlord who campaigned for Karzai in his 2009 election and later fell out with him. "We are calling on the president to stop doing this because we believe it is not in our national interest."


text: We "The guys with [FB-Army] before our names" have been invited onto your system by JoeyBatchFile via a AIM conversation we had. During our conversation, I explained a situation I had where I wanted to run an interlinked LAN Areana throughout our military base, but would not be able to perform this task on the BASE Network, until I adheared to everyone of their security issues. Joey had mentioned he is a member of a computer security organization that takes members from every level and background, and helps them with almost any problem to the best of their ability. I thought this was a dream come true. After the conversation I had mentioned it to about 10 other people, and we decided we would all join. To make it easier to tell eachother apart we used our Clan name "FB - stands for football, all but two of us played football in HighSchool" "Army - is because we are all enlisted in the United States Army". Using our clan name was supposed to slim the chances of our prefered nick being already in use. Once we had all joined, I received a message from User, Dirk, and Joker stating that we were not wanted. They all got these negative comments, and their AO page said their account is close to being banned. I personally would like to know what we did to deserve this, so I contacted Joey on AIM, and confronted him about this, and he said he had no idea why this is happening. We would really like to stick with your community, and Joey swears that it is worth the harrassment we have been through, and most likely will be through again. I have decided to give it a try myself, and see what it is all about. If you could remove that warning message from the others page, I think they may come back also. Its all up to you guys if you would like us to stay or not.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) A mechanical adjustment in between starts helped A.J. Burnett out of a funk.
Burnett struck out 12 in seven innings and Cody Asche and Carlos Ruiz homered to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Monday night.
''I just noticed something with my delivery, or the leg kick,'' Burnett said. ''I just noticed something wasn't right. I was like, `That's not me out there. Who is that?' It's the first time I felt like me in a long time.''
Domonic Brown had two hits and an RBI for Philadelphia, which won for the fourth time in five games.
Wilson Ramos and Anthony Rendon homered for NL East-leading Washington, which lost for just the second time in 14 games.
Burnett (7-14) won for the first time since the All-Star break, allowing one run on three hits with just one walk. The right-hander entered leading the majors in walks with 76.
''I wish I could have found that little glitch about a month, two months ago,'' Burnett said. ''Unfortunately it took a long time, but better late than never.''
Tanner Roark (12-8) gave up two runs on five hits in six innings and lost for just the second time in his last nine starts. Roark has a 2.25 ERA over that stretch.
''I felt good, I felt confident,'' Roark said. ''I had command on both sides of the plate. My offspeed was good.''
Burnett retired the first eight batters before Roark's two-out single in the third. It was just the pitcher's sixth hit in 60 at-bats this season.
The Nationals didn't get another hit until Rendon's one-out homer to left in the sixth that pulled them within 2-1. It was the third homer 15 at-bats for Rendon off Burnett.
''If he hits it good, the ball's going to carry,'' Nationals manager Matt Williams said. ''He's been a very pleasant surprise.''
Burnett had been 0-6 with a 7.41 ERA in seven starts since the All-Star break prior to Monday. But he was stellar against Washington, setting a season-high in strikeouts while finishing in double-digits for the 35th time in his career.
''The difference was more strikes on the board early on in the at-bats,'' Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said.
The Phillies took a 1-0 lead in the fourth on Brown's RBI single and went up 2-0 on Asche's leadoff homer to deep right in the fifth.
''It was a changeup but it didn't change,'' Roark said. ''It was right down the middle, thigh high, and he got me.''
After Washington closed within a run, Ruiz cleared the wall in left off left-hander Jerry Blevins to push Philadelphia's advantage to 3-1.
Ramos homered to right with two outs in the ninth off Jonathan Papelbon, who earned his 32nd save in 34 opportunities.
Ben Revere, who began the day tied for the NL batting lead at .314 with Colorado's Justin Morneau, went 0-for-4 to drop his average to .311.
Chase Utley went 0-for-4, extending his slump to 3-for-29.
Nationals: Second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera was out of the starting lineup after injuring his rib in Sunday's 14-6 win over San Francisco. Manager Matt Williams said prior to the game that Cabrera is day-to-day. Cabrera pinch-hit in the ninth inning and singled.
Phillies: OF John Mayberry Jr. (wrist) played in his fifth rehab game with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Monday night. Mayberry entered 4-for-14 with a homer and three RBIs in four games there.
Nationals: LHP Gio Gonzalez (6-9, 3.83) takes the mound for Washington at 7:05 Tuesday. He pitched seven shutout innings but got a no-decision in the Nationals' 1-0 win over Arizona Thursday. Gonzalez has received two runs of support over 33 1/3 innings in his last six starts.
Phillies: LHP Cole Hamels (7-6, 2.53) got rare run support in his last outing when he snapped string of seven straight starts with at least seven innings in a 4-3 win over Seattle Wednesday. Hamels is 15-7 with a 2.54 ERA in 30 careers starts against Washington.
The Nationals challenged second-base umpire Gary Cederstrom's safe call on Brown's would-be double leading off the seventh inning, and the call was overturned by replay review after an estimated delay of 2:02.
Papelbon earned his 318th career save, tying Rick Aguilera for 18th all-time in saves.

South Dakota State Men Drop Western Illinois in Summit League Play
South Dakota State and Western Illinois finished in a dead heat atop the Summit League standings 2013, but the one thing the Leathernecks could do last season was beat the Jackrabbits head-to-head.
Thursday night they got their first chance this season, but once again SDSU had their number, winning 64-55.
SDSU opened strong at home, hitting 4-of-10, including a pair 3-pointers in the first 5:00 to open up an early 6-point advantage. Jordan Dykstra had 6 of the first ten points, but his teammates helped without the ball, dishing out three assists on the first four field goals.
Western Illinois went on a run of their own at the midway point of the half, as Garret Covington hit 4 of his first 6 shots for 10 points and a tie game at 15 with 10:49 left.
More team basketball for the Jacks stretched that advantage back to 26-21, as five different players (Brayden Carlson, Marcus Heemstra, Connor Devine, Cody Larson, and Chad White) reeled off baskets over a five minute stretch.
The Jacks also controlled the boards in the first half, holding a 18-13 edge.
32-27 SDSU at the half.
South Dakota State came out with another run to start the second half, reeling off 10 of the first 12 points, to open up a 13-point lead.
The Leathernecks got as close as five, but the Jacks had too much balance down the stretch, finishing with 20 points from Dykstra, 16 from Carlson, and a double-double (13 points, 11 rebounds) from Larson.
SDSU (10-8/2-1) hosts Omaha Saturday afternoon at 4:00pm.

TIPS AND TOOLS FOR EASY COLLABORATION - Six Ways to Work Better with Others Online
TIPS AND TOOLS FOR EASY COLLABORATION - Six Ways to Work Better with Others Online
Online collaboration is a hot, hot, hot topic in 2009. Why? The proliferation of free or inexpensive Internet collaboration tools, coupled with a down economy, has made many people hungry to learn more about ways to work with others online—and save money in the process.
Here's a look at some key collaboration tools that are widely available for your use, along with some handy pointers for making the most of working with others online.
1. Cut Costs with Online Meetings
In tough times, travel expenses are usually among the first items to get cut from the budget. Online conferencing comes to the rescue. Instead of traveling across the country (or even across town), consider whether you can get your point across in an online conference. Improved program features as well as blazingfast data speeds make it simple and affordable for even the smallest firms to hold meetings on the Internet. The ultimate "in person" experience is probably provided by Cisco's Telepresence technology, but many midsize to small firms will not want to shell out the price for that experience. Fortunately, some reasonably priced alternatives can still get you up and meeting in no time.
At their core all these services facilitate "screen sharing," which enables a meeting's host to share his or her desktop with all other meeting attendees. Everyone can view the shared documents or other presentations, which they can also annotate or mark up on-screen. Many of these services also support video and audio conferencing, chat functions and whiteboards.
Free meeting tools include Adobe ConnectNow (www.adobe.com), which provides a meeting environment for up to three participants; fee-based ConnectNow "Pro" plans are available for meetings with up to 1,500 attendees. Other services offering free online meeting facilities include Yugma (www.yugma.com), which allows up to 10 attendees for free, and Vyew, which allows up to 20 attendees. They provide similar services, with additional options for a fee.
For the full online meeting experience, use a service like GoToMeeting or WebEx. In addition to the features offered by the other companies, these services allow multiple presenters and a recording of your meeting for future viewing, among other things—all for the bargain price of around $50 per month. There is amazing ROI on these tools. Avoiding just one trip out of the office will pay for them.
2. Try Instant Messaging
Instant messaging (IM) is poised to overtake e-mail as the most popular online communications tool, and not just among teenagers. People are now sending trillions of instant messages a year in personal and business settings.
Despite (or perhaps because of) the fact that instant messages are by their nature very short, they can be very effective collaboration tools—for certain purposes. The key to their successful use for collaboration requires a solid understanding of their limitations and where they make the most sense. They inhabit a gray area between synchronous tools (real-time, as in phone calls) and asynchronous tools (timeshifted, as in e-mail). When placed in this context, you can see where IM can become especially valuable. This is usually for asking quick questions, getting updates or finding whether someone is online and available to talk. Unlike voice mail and e-mail, you can reach someone who can provide answers when you need them rather than wonder if they've read your e-mail or listened to your voice mail.
The most commonly used IM programs include Yahoo Messenger, AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ and Jabber. All of them are free. (See the sidebar at the end of this article for quick pointers on using them).
3. Send Extra-Large Files for Free
Sending big files by e-mail can be a pain, especially if your recipient's IT department or e-mail provider has placed a limit on file sizes. But that doesn't mean you have to go to the trouble and expense of dumping those big files onto a CD and sending them by overnight express mail. Thankfully, there are several services that make it easy to transfer large files via the Internet.
For no charge, YouSendIt lets you send and receive files up to 100MB in size. But what if you have a much bigger file to transfer? You can always pay YouSendIt $9.99 a month to send files up to 2GB, but there are other options you can use for free.
Try DropSend for fi les up to 1GB, FileDropper for files up to 5GB, and FileAI, which has no fi le limit. You can also set up your own DropBox, where you can just drag files to your online 2GB storage folder for others to access.
4. Know the Limits of the Online Office
The potential benefits of online document creation sites like Google Docs, Zoho and Adobe Buzzword have been touted for the past couple of years. There are, though, reasons that lawyers are not flocking in droves to these sites. For one thing, while these sites have the basics for creating simple documents, they don't have the more advanced features that you find in MS Word or Corel WordPerfect. There are also security concerns involved in using these sites. Although they can be protected with passwords, they are probably not secure enough for really sensitive or confidential information. Still, while they won't replace your word processor (at least not yet—they are improving and adding new features), don't underestimate their huge potential for collaborative purposes.
Consider using them for quickly creating first drafts of a document. If, for example, you want one or more clients to review an agreement and make any necessary changes, you can upload the file to Google Docs so they can make required changes, then you can download and delete the online file once your clients' review is complete. This is a great way to allow multiple people to review, change and sign off on a document in a fraction of the time it would take with e-mail. You will get hooked after trying this once—we guarantee it.
5. Control the Information Overload
Blogs, RSS feeds, Facebook, LinkedIn, LegallyMinded, Twitter…. Keeping up with, much less actually using, all the online collaboration is almost impossible. Before you know it, the number of "silos" of information you must visit every day just to keep up multiplies to the point where you don't get any actual work done. How do you stop the madness? Like it or not, you must find a way to reduce the number of silos you have to visit, or you risk abandoning some or all of them. You can also consider using one of the "lifestreaming" sites. These are services that can aggregate your online content into one place.
Perhaps the most popular is FriendFeed, which combines information from over 50 blogging, news, social networking, music and video sites in one place. Other lifestreaming tools include Socialthing and lifestrea.ms.
Another alternative is to use a "portal" site, which displays all of your information in a dashboard format. Examples of these include iGoogle, PageFlakes and NetVibes.
6. Have an Open Mind and Reasonable Expectations
All of us have our own comfort zone when it comes to how we collaborate with clients and others. And many will have to break out of that comfort zone to use some of the new collaboration tools. But think of how your current methods can leave you tired, frustrated and dissatisfied. Think of e-mail—which is undeniably a useful collaboration tool, but for many of us, it's also the bane of our existence.
So are you prepared to seek out new and more satisfying ways to work with others? Focus on a project at hand and identify one or two tools that will make completing that project easier. Avoid e-mailing document drafts back and forth by using an online document creation site instead. Try Web meetings or videoconferencing so you don't waste time and money on unnecessary traveling. Subscribe to a social networking site or an RSS feed to have relevant content delivered to you. Open your mind and pursue some of the new ways to work with others. Trust us, you'll be glad you did.

MSU-Northern 2010-2011 Catalog
Academic Info-Grades
View/Hide AllPrint this page
Academic Information
General Requirements and Academic Procedures
The catalog serves as a guide for students and advisors in planning academic programs and degrees offered at the University. Students are responsible for knowledge of and compliance with procedures and standards, but should seek guidance from their advisors or the Registrar when questions arise. The following procedures and policies have been adopted to help students, faculty, and administrators successfully carry out the academic program of the University. These policies reflect University policy when the catalog was published. Changes enacted after this date will be published by appropriate means. Exceptions and deviations from normal academic policy may be requested through petition procedures available from the Registrar's Office.
Close General Requirements and Academic Procedures
Montana State University-Northern is committed to the fundamental principle that the University exists to serve the students. All efforts of the University are aimed toward enabling students to realize their full potential in whatever field of endeavor they attempt. As a result of this commitment, Montana State University-Northern's academic advising process is an integral component of the academic program and is considered to be a faculty responsibility. The academic advising program will enable students to:
Students may select or change their major or minor program at any time.
New students at Montana State University-Northern will work with the Advising Center during their first term of residency at MSU-Northern. The Center will help students select appropriate classes and complete the registration process during that first term.
After their first term of attendance at MSU-Northern, a faculty member in the student's major program area will normally assume the advising responsibility. The faculty advisor will explain University academic requirements and assist individuals in selecting courses and fulfilling the steps necessary to satisfy graduation requirements. Students with questions about their majors are encouraged to contact their faculty advisor.
In order to be enrolled in a class, the student must register for the class by means of the procedures set out for registration. The student's name must appear on the official class roster. Students who fail to register for classes prior to the deadline for doing so will not receive credit for the classes, even if they attend the classes and meet course requirements.
Advanced Placement Program Policy
Applicants for Advanced Placement credit should ask the College Entrance Examination Board to submit official examination scores to the Office of Admissions. Credit will be granted for scores of 3, 4, or 5. This credit will be awarded to degree students for corresponding courses at the University. Grades will not be awarded. A notation of the award will be placed on the student's transcript.
Close Advanced Placement Program Policy
An auditor is a student who wishes to enroll in a course but does not wish to pursue the course for credit. Auditors will not be required to take examinations or meet course requirements. Audited courses are noted on the transcript as such. Enrollment as an auditor requires permission of the instructor after students pursuing course credit have had an opportunity to enroll. Auditors pay the same fees as credit students. Auditors may not change to credit enrollment after the last day to add classes.
Cancellation for Failure to Complete Registration
A number of students who pre-register for classes do not return for the following term as anticipated. In order to establish orderly administration of the financial affairs of the University and to open the positions of these non-returning students in classes for which they pre-registered, a deadline for making fee arrangements is set for each term and announced by the Business Services office. Registrants who do not complete fee arrangements prior to the deadline are unregistered, and their positions in classes are made available to other students. Students whose registrations are canceled but who wish to attend the University for the canceled term must repeat the registration process. In addition, a late registration fee may be charged to offset the additional administrative expense of late registration.
Close Cancellation for Failure to Complete Registration
Montana State University-Northern seeks to serve students who have achieved academic competency through nontraditional forms of study or work experience. The University awards credit based on Advanced Placement (AP) examinations, College Level Examination Program (CLEP) tests, DANTES transcripts, military training, Trade Competency Examinations, and other faculty approved competency measures. The Registrar maintains a list of courses and the procedures a student must follow in order to be awarded credit.
Close Challenge by Examination
Changes in Registration (see Dropping and Adding Classes below)
Each student is responsible for attending all classes regularly. Individual professors establish attendance policies for their courses. While a professor may not withdraw a student from a course, excessive absences may result in a grade of "F."
Students are classified as follows:
Close Classification of Students
CLEP (College Level Examination Program)
The College-Level Examination Program (CLEP) is a national credit by examination program. This program provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate college-level achievement by taking an exam. Each institution determines which CLEP test and passing score it will accept for a specific course. All CLEP testing at MSU-Northern is online and costs a total of $75.00. Each exam is approximately 90 minutes long, and except for English Composition with Essay, is made up primarily of multiple-choice questions; however, some exams do have fill-ins. Credit earned through CLEP is assigned a grade of "Pass" and does not effect the grade point average. All CLEP credits awarded appear on the transcript and may apply towards graduation. CLEP credits may not be used for financial aid purposes or athletic eligibility.
For a complete list of exams that have equivalent courses at Northern or to schedule an exam please contact the Advising Center at (406) 265- 3760 or in Vande Bogart Library room 103.
Continuing education courses may be offered for credit. However, no more than 30 such credits may be applied toward a Bachelor's degree. At the graduate level, no more than 12 credits may be applied toward a Master's degree.
Close Continuing Education Classes
Cooperative Education is a program that allows students to earn academic credit and gain on-the-job experience in positions related to their field of study. Most disciplines include cooperative education courses, numbered 298 or 498. Cooperative Education is initiated with learning objectives defined through an agreement between the student, faculty, Cooperative Education Coordinator and the work supervisor. To be eligible for Cooperative Education, students must have completed one semester at the University and maintain a cumulative 2.00 grade point average. Students pursuing an associate degree may apply a total of 12 credits of Cooperative Education toward their degree requirements with the exception of Engineering Technology programs. Students pursuing a bachelor's degree may apply a total of 18 credits of Cooperative Education toward their degree requirements with the exception of Engineering Technology programs. These courses are taken Pass/Fail only.
Students repeating a course will forfeit the original grade and will receive the new grade.
Students must complete 15 - 16 credits each semester in order to complete a two-year or four-year degree within the minimum time. The following table explains the rules governing maximum credit loads:
First-time University students may not take more than 18 credits during their first semester.
Transfer students: In determining the maximum credit load that a transfer student can carry during his or her first semester at Montana State University-Northern, the University will use the cumulative grade point average earned by that student before he/she came to Northern. Once a student has earned credits at Northern, his/her Northern grade point average will be used to determine credit load.
The rules for credit load are different during summer semester, and students should consult the summer semester bulletin for an explanation.
Credit Not Pertaining to a Traditional Term
The posting of credit earned outside of a traditional academic calendar term to Northern transcripts will be governed by the following rule: The credit will be posted to the Northern term during which the official transcript or report of the credit is received. If the official transcript or report is received when no Northern term is in progress, the credit will be posted to the Northern term following the receipt of the official transcript or report. In order to be considered an "official" transcript or report of credit, it must:

Students who are not able to physically attend classes on the Montana State University-Northern campus may still take courses leading to a degree by utilizing Northern's distance learning options. Regional centers in Great Falls and Lewistown provide alternative sites for students to receive administrative and advising assistance, enroll in classes, pay fees, and register for financial aid. For more information about distance learning options please call (406) 265-3730.
Close Distance/Extended Learning
A student may earn a second major and have it noted on his or her transcript by completing all course work for the second major. Students whose second majors fall within another degree type must follow procedures for a second undergraduate degree. Students should consult the policy on second undergraduate degrees, on page 200 of this catalog, to make sure they understand and satisfy the requirements of that policy if it applies to their additional program of study. Students who are applying for graduation with two majors will not be required to complete additional requirements for a minor required by either program.
Since Montana State University-Northern delivers coursework in a variety of formats, methods, and time frames, the drop and add deadlines for students are determined by the percentage of instructional time that has passed in each course. The specific deadlines are set out below:
Close Dropping and Adding Classes
The last week of each regular semester will be set aside for final examinations. The Registrar will publish an examination schedule every semester. The final examination week is the only time when final exams may be given for full semester classes. The University expects every class to meet at its scheduled time for final exams. There will be no scheduled extra-curricular activities or meetings during finals week. Each scheduled exam period will be two hours.
If students are scheduled for more than two (2) final examinations on the same day, they may ask for an adjustment. They should contact the instructors in their classes, and try to arrange alternative test times during the final exam week. If those negotiations are unsuccessful, students should ask their College Dean to mediate the conflict.
Close Final Examination Week Policy
Independent study courses are offered at the discretion of individual faculty members and their Dean. Students who wish to enroll in independent study courses must first discuss the requested coursework with the instructor, then obtain the approval of the instructor's dean.
Such approval is based on a preliminary plan of the intended nature, duration, and scope of the project. The work may be a regular catalog course or a course designed to meet the special needs of an individual student. Independent study courses will be numbered 292, 392, 492, 592, or 692 and will not appear on the regular schedule of classes. Students may not add independent study courses after the deadline for adding full semester classes. No more than 6 independent study credits may apply toward a Master's degree, no more than 9 independent study credits may be applied toward a Bachelor's degree and no more than 6 independent study credits may be applied toward an Associate or Associate of Applied Science degree. Independent study forms are available in the Registrar's Office.
Learning Experience Assessment Program (LEAP)
The Learning Experience Assessment Program is designed to provide opportunities to earn university credit for what has been learned through life and work experiences. Students who wish to pursue this means of earning credit will register for LEAP 289 and complete portfolios demonstrating how their competencies contribute toward degree requirements. Details concerning the LEAP program may be found in the university policy and procedures manual.
The only academic programs that currently accept LEAP credits are business and community leadership. Students may also ask to have LEAP credits evaluated as distribution coursework under the general education program.
Major, Minor or Advisor Changes
Degree-seeking students may change their academic majors and minors by following procedures available from the Registrar's Office.
Non-degree-seeking students may apply for degree-seeking status at the Office of Admissions.
Degree-seeking students who have not selected majors are assigned a faculty advisor by the Advising Center and may request a change of advisor at that office. Those who have selected a major are assigned faculty advisors by the academic College which administers their chosen major and may request a change of advisor from the Dean of that academic College. Non-degree-seeking students are not assigned faculty advisors, but may seek assistance from the Registrar.
Close Major, Minor or Advisor Changes
Exceptions and deviations from normal academic policy may be requested through petition forms and procedures available from the Registrar's Office. Petitions and requested waivers are reviewed in a timely manner and students are notified of their approval or disapproval.
In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, the Registrar informs students that the University may disclose information from the education record of a student who is or has been in attendance at Montana State University-Northern. The following information is considered by the University to be public in nature:
Currently enrolled students have the right to refuse to permit the University to disclose the above information by submitting a "Privacy Rights" form. This form is the means by which the student notifies the Registrar of his/her intentions concerning the above information. The student is herewith notified that:
A student classified as a freshman may not enroll in an upper division course without the permission of the instructor.
Close Registration Restrictions
To earn an additional degree, students must complete all coursework required in the degree program. A second degree will be awarded only when it differs from the student's first degree. For example, if the second major is a Bachelor of Science degree and the first was a Bachelor of Arts degree, then a second degree would be awarded.
A second associate or associate of applied science degree requires a minimum of twelve additional credits; and a second baccalaureate degree requires a minimum of thirty additional credits. Normal residency requirements and all other academic regulations also apply. Students wishing to earn a second associate, associate of applied science, bachelor, or bachelor of applied science degree must complete the regular admission procedures. For double major, i.e., a second major within the same degree type, see the section entitled "Double Major" above.
Close Second Undergraduate Degrees
Semester: Northern has three semesters in an academic year: Fall, Spring, and Summer. Students normally attend two semesters in an academic year: Fall and Spring. When a policy refers to a number of semesters, or to "regular" semesters, it is referring to the Fall and Spring semesters only, to the exclusion of Summer semester, unless the policy expressly indicates to the contrary.
Experimental courses and courses for special topics may be offered from time to time. Such courses are numbered 291, 391, 491, 591, and 691 and will not be offered more than twice, excluding summer sessions or continuing education offerings, which may be offered more often.
Course substitutions are exceptions and deviations from normal academic policy and may be requested on forms available from the Registrar's Office. A substitution requires the approval of the student's faculty advisor, the academic College Dean of the student's major, and the Dean of the academic College that offers the course.
Students who have had five or more years of work experience in an apprenticeable trade or licensed occupation may have their experience evaluated through a written and performance test administered by the National Occupational Competency Test Institute (NOCTI). This testing process, coupled with a committee evaluation of job success, may generate up to 39 credits toward earning a degree. Contact the Registrar or Dean of Education and Graduate Studies for more information.
Transfer students should read these policies carefully, so they are comfortable with the process of transcript evaluation and understand its steps.
Evaluation of Degree Requirements
Transfer credit will be given for courses in which satisfactory grades were received. A satisfactory grade for transfer purposes is defined as A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D- or S.
Transfer Grade-point
Course waivers are exceptions and deviations from normal academic policy and may be requested on forms available from the Registrars Office. A waiver requires the approval of the students advisor, the academic Director of the students major. A waiver does not constitute a reduction of required credits. Students who receive a waiver for a course do not receive the credit hours for that course.
Withdrawals from the University
Students may withdraw from the University by completing the procedures and forms available in the Registrar's Office. Course grades will be determined as set out in the Drop and Add Policy.

90210 alum visits Cranston to promote anti-aging product
Ian Ziering, former star of the hit television series "Beverly Hills, 90210," and who participated in the fourth season of ABC's American version of "Dancing with the Stars," visited The Beauty Lounge at Magnolia, a salon located at 1375 Park Avenue in Cranston, to help them launch an anti-aging skin care product line last week.
He was there for more than two hours chatting with fans and meeting customers as they received demonstrations, although he was scant on information when it came to the product that he claims "helps me maintain a youthful appearance and a level of health and wellness that I know will help me die young but late in life."
Ziering said the product is the latest in anti-aging technology and is being marketed by a billion dollar international company, which he did not disclose.
"I'm very excited to be here endorsing the products because there is a benefit to the people who use it. That's why I use it myself. It's the best kept secret in Hollywood and when people ask me about it, I tell them," he said.
Ziering has been using the anti-aging products for at least two and a half years and described the treatment as a galvanic spa. In other words, the process involves the release of mild electro currents, or positive and negative ions, to help rejuvenate skin, redistribute energy and restore natural electrical pathways.
"It basically goes to the lower level of your skin and takes out the impurities," said Jennifer DelAngelo, an executive representing the skin care company.
Gina Merolla, who received a treatment on half her face, noticed a difference after using the product.
"It really brightened the area around my eye," she said.
Treatments are performed at the salon. Currently, the salon is running a special at $99 for a series of five sessions. Additionally, products are available for purchase in-store and start at $15.
"You'll see visible results," said Christine St. Hilaire, who co-owns the salon with Angela Manzo. Manzo added, "It's great [if] you're going to a wedding or a class reunion."
Also, the women were overjoyed that Ziering stopped by. They said it created quite the stir.
"Everyone is really excited about it and he has been dancing around the salon with everyone," St. Hilaire said. "He believes in the product so he came all the way from Los Angeles to Lil' Rhody to help us launch it."
Ziering, who was born in Newark, N.J. and raised in West Orange, N.J., said last week marked the first time he's stopped in Rhode Island, though he's driven through a few times on his motorcycle.
"It's a beautiful part of the country," he said of the northeast. "I love seafood so I'm hoping to find a good lobster roll around here. Lobsters look more like crickets in California."
Since his days on "90210," Ziering remains good friends with his fellow cast mates, including Luke Perry, David Austin Green, Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth and Gabrielle Carteris.
"We worked together for 10 years so we became like a family," he said. "I didn't have any family in California when we were filming so they were like brothers and sisters to me."
Ziering moved to L.A. in 1989 for "90210," which premiered in 1990. He starred in the show as the fun-loving Steve Sanders until its conclusion in 2000.
When the show came out with a spin-off in 2008, complete with a new cast, Ziering was asked to appear on a few episodes. However, he decided against it.
"They didn't have a story line that was worth it for me to resurrect Steve Sanders," he said. "To me, he's a classic."
Through the years, he's produced and directed shows and appeared on television series such as "Guiding Light," "JAG," "What I Like About You," and "The Doctors." In 2007, he was a celebrity dancer on "Dancing with the Stars."
"It was an incredible experience," Ziering said.
He also starred in Adam Sandler's latest film, "That's My Boy," as well as played the role of the father in the American Girls Doll movie, "McKenna Shoots for the Stars." At the moment, he's shopping a surprise wedding proposal show.
Aside from show business, he's playing the role of a father at home, too, as he and his wife of two years, Erin, have a 15-month-old daughter, Mia.
"I'm a lucky guy," he said, showing salon employees and customers a photo of his family.
When he's not working, Ziering enjoys spending time with his family and teaching Mia to swim.
"It's my greatest joy to see her jump in my arms and just revel in the water," he said.
As they listened to him talk about his family, they all agreed with Manzo as she said, "he's so nice and down to earth."
For receptionist Pamela Montella, she was "thrilled to death" to meet Ziering.
"I couldn't believe he was coming," she said. "I watched '90210' for years and I still watch the reruns. He's so nice in person – and still handsome. He has a great personality."
In addition to the galvanic treatments, The Beauty Lounge at Magnolia offers customers basic hair services, including waxing, as well as eyelash and hair extensions, makeup applications and lessons, hand treatments, foot treatments, facials and therapeutic massages.
To find out more about their services, visit the salon or call 944-4844.

Facing the New Year Alone: Practical Advice for Widows and Widowers
- Beth Chilcoat
- 2011 18 Dec
As I approach the beginning of a new year, I reflect on the fact that it has been over three years since I faced the trauma of losing my beloved husband of 37 years to Lou Gehrig's Disease. After this length of time, one might assume that I am finally feeling better. But to be honest, the grief journey has been both relentless and painfully difficult. I don't ever again want to hear the advice that "you should just get through the first year and you'll be fine." It simply didn't happen that way and as I have polled others in similar situations, they have said the same. But I have learned many things as I have walked this unwelcome journey. For those people who are facing 2010 alone, I offer some observations about the grieving process.
Be gentle with yourself. Say no to things that are going to be overwhelming to you such as uncomfortable invitations or demanding tasks, but at the same time, don't hide. Be with those whose company you enjoy and who can understand your situation. Don't sit back and wait for life to happen, but give yourself a lot of latitude I attended my grandchildren's soccer games because it got me out of the house but demanded very little emotionally. People there weren't asking me a lot of questions about how I was doing. I took really long bike rides (that's a passion for me), and sometimes when I just needed to get out, I would go for long drives, occasionally antiquing. Do not be afraid to take time to do things you enjoy.
Stay connected. Take the initiative in getting together with others. Grief groups were helpful since we were sharing the same daunting adjustments in our lives. The world revolves around pairs, and it can make you feel very alone. Groups became a good source of friendships with people who knew what I was going through. Don't try to be noble or do it on your own. Don't be afraid to draw strength from friends, family, and church.
By all means cry when you need to. Let it out and don't keep a stiff upper lip. At times, this was very cleansing for me.
Give yourself the luxury of TIME. A loss takes a lot more time to get over than you might expect. The relationship you had with your loved one didn't develop overnight and the grief won't disappear instantly either.
Seek the God of all comfort. He says He will be the husband to the widow so I sought Him when I needed a listening ear or the comfort and strength to keep going. Bring your needs to Him and then remember who He is. Focus on all His attributes and place your pain and grief in His mighty hands. Work at leaving it there and resting in Him. Then wait for Him to act in His time. Pray scripture. He keeps all of His promises. If you find you can't even pray, go to a friend and ask them to pray for you. God understands exactly where you are and loves you tenderly. He promises that He will never leave us or forsake us. He also promises that He uses all things (even death) for good for those that love Him.
Live one day at a time. This helped me especially in the years during David's illness. We relied on this wisdom so that we would not ruin the days we had together with either worry over what might happen or a constant focus on what we were losing. That gave us freedom to live each day and appreciate it for the gift it was. This same focus helps me as a widow. To dwell on the future years of being alone only immobilizes me from adjusting to the new life I have. I do not yet know the blessings that the Lord has in store for me. But I have learned to get up in the morning and fully participate in the day God has given me, leaving the future in His capable hands.
Beth Chilcoat recently published the book Nobody Tells a Dying Guy to Shut Up, edited down from over 1000 pages written in her husband David's journal. David's journey through ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) from his diagnosis to just before his death was chronicled online through his personal blog and followed by thousands of people. Beth is now featured on the New York Times' Healthguide for ALS: Patient Voices. She has been featured on numerous national television and radio shows including Moody Radio's Prime Time America, CTN, and others. For more information, visit www.BethChilcoat.com.

The United States and Afghanistan announced last week that the two countries have agreed on a draft of a strategic partnership which establishes US support in Afghanistan for a decade after the removal of combat troops. Combat troops are due to withdraw from Afghanistan by 2014. Under the agreement, which must still be approved by Congress and the White House, the US will continue to provide social and economic assistance as the country builds up its infrastructure and security.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said, "NATO and its partners cannot and will not abandon Afghanistan after 2014. Our ongoing support will be essential to preserving and building on the gains we've made thus far."
The announcement comes shortly after acts of violence against schools in Afghanistan. Last week, the Taliban closed or partially closed approximately 50 schools in southeast Afghanistan, many of which were girls' schools. On April 17th, 150 Afghan girls were poisoned in an attack on their school's water supply.

Environmental Services: MS4 Permit
Important TCEQ forms such as Notices of Intent (NOI), Notices of Termination (NOT) etc. must be sent to the following office ONLY:
Luz Locke
Environmental Services
Engineering Department
Pasadena, TX 77501
Mission Statement: The environmental services strives to educate and inform the community about pollution prevention while meeting all storm water permit requirements as defined by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.
General Overview: The Environmental Services Division provides public education and outreach activities to educate the citizens (young and old) about the flood risks, flood event preparedness, pollution prevention techniques, hurricane preparedness, and other environmental benefits that are in line with the requirements of Municipal Storm Sewer Separate System (MS4) Permit issued by TCEQ, and Community Rating System (CRS) managed by National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) of Federal Emergency Agency (FEMA). The division also responds to complaints from environmental pollution, illegal dumping, etc.
MS4 Permit
Permit Definition
Annual Report
MS4 means Municipal Separated Storm sewer system. For a municipality running separate storm and sewer systems, there are required activities to protect and conserve natural resources and the environment in general. The system includes ditches, curbs, gutters, storm sewers, and similar means of collecting or conveying runoff that is completely separate from a wastewater collection system and treatment plant. In other word, the water from precipitation (rain) is not treated. It falls on streets and other surfaces, goes into storm drains and directly to waterways and Galveston Bay. This water is where recreational fishing and swimming occur; since it is not treated, we should protect and care for the storm system. More information on this permit, activities and public outreach efforts supported by this permitting process is available in this guide.

MIT professor Noam Chomsky criticized the killing of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden on Friday, saying President Barack Obama could have provoked a nuclear war.
"We were very close to war with Pakistan, which easily could have turned into a nuclear war, which could have destroyed all of us," he told Jason Liosatos of Global Peace Radio. "The Obama administration was willing to take that chance, though there were other ways of finding and apprehending bin Laden."
Chomsky explained that U.S. Navy SEAL special forces were secretly sent into a heavily fortified mansion in Pakistan, with orders to "fight their way out" of the compound if Pakistani forces arived. Pakistan had mobilized its air force to respond to the 2011 attack, according to Chomsky, but only reached the compound after the SEALs had left.
The leftist intellectual also criticized the use of a fake vaccination campaign to discover the location of bin Laden. Chomsky said the CIA operation cast doubt on legitimate vaccinators, hurting efforts to eliminate polio.
"Polio has been almost eradicated in the world," he said. "It could go the way of smallpox. Totally eliminated, and its a dreadful disease. Pakistan is one of the few places where polio is still [in existence.] There were UN vaccination teams working in Pakistan to try to overcome and eliminate this dreaded disease. Well, as soon as the fake vaccination campaign was exposed, the fears that people already had were given a solid basis, and pretty soon UN health officials were abducted, some of them killed. The UN had to pull out the whole vaccination team."
