This species is widespread, is fast-growing and can be locally common. It is threatened by the loss of mangrove habitat throughout its range, primarily due to extraction and coastal development, and there has been an estimated 24% decline in mangrove area within this species range since 1980. Mangrove species are more at risk from coastal development and extraction at the extremes of their distribution, and are likely to be contracting in these areas more than in other areas. It is also likely that changes in climate due to global warming will further affect these parts of the range. Although there are overall range declines in many areas, they are not enough to reach any of the threatened category thresholds. This species is listed as Least Concern.
|Range Description:
|This species occurs in South Asia, including Darussalam, India, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and the southcentral coast of Viet Nam. In Australasia, it is found in the Yap Islands (Federated States of Micronesia), Palau, northern Papua New Guinea, and the Solomon Islands.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Bangladesh; Cambodia; India; Indonesia; Malaysia; Micronesia, Federated States of ; Myanmar; Palau; Papua New Guinea; Philippines; Singapore; Solomon Islands; Thailand; Viet Nam
|FAO Marine Fishing Areas:
Indian Ocean – western; Indian Ocean – eastern; Pacific – western central

|This species can be locally common throughout its range. In India, this species was present in 65 of 100 sampling sites (Kathiresan 2008).
There are several varieties of this species that may be reflected in leaf morphology and is reflected in preliminary genetic studies (Duke et al. 1998). It is known that leaf morphlogy is influenced by environmental factors, including salinity, insect damage (Kathiresan 2008), nutrients, and sun exposure. Avicennia is a pantropical genus of about 8 species occupying diverse mangrove habitats. They can occur within the normal tide range or in back mangrove areas. They have a high tolerance to hypersaline conditions (Tomlinson 1986).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is found along tidal riverbanks in the downstream estuarine zone, and in the lower and middle intertidal region (Robertson and Alongi 1992). It occurs as a tree or shrub that grows to 25 m, often around 10 m. It is fast-growing and sprouts easily from coppicing. Both Avicennia and Sonneratia species are the colonizing species on newly formed mudflats in SE Asia (Terrados et al. 1997).
|Terrestrial; Freshwater; Marine
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
|The species is harvested for fodder and medicine in some areas.
|Major Threat(s):
The major threat to this species is conversion of tidal wetlands to fish ponds and other land uses within its range.This species is locally threatened due to destruction of mangrove habitat within its range, particularly at the extremities of its range. Mangrove habitat within this species range has declined at least 24% (FAO 2007) over a twenty-five year period (1980-2005).
All mangrove ecosystems occur within mean sea level and high tidal elevations, and have distinct species zonations that are controlled by the elevation of the substrate relative to mean sea level. This is because of associated variation in frequency of elevation, salinity and wave action (Duke et al. 1998). With rise in sea-level, the habitat requirements of each species will be disrupted, and species zones will suffer mortality at their present locations and re-establish at higher elevations in areas that were previously landward zones (Ellison 2005). If sea-level rise is a continued trend over this century, then there will be continued mortality and re-establishment of species zones. However, species that are easily dispersed and fast growing/fast producing will cope better than those which are slower growing and slower to reproduce.
In addition, mangrove area is declining globally due to a number of localized threats. The main threat is habitat destruction and removal of mangrove areas. Reasons for removal include cleared for shrimp farms, agriculture, fish ponds, rice production and salt pans, and for the development of urban and industrial areas, road construction, coconut plantations, ports, airports, and tourist resorts. Other threats include pollution from sewage effluents, solid wastes, siltation, oil, and agricultural and urban runoff. Climate change is also thought to be a threat, particularly at the edges of a species range. Natural threats include cyclones, hurricane and tsunamis.
|Conservation Actions:
|There are no conservation measures specific to this species, but its range may include some marine and coastal protected areas. This species may be planted in some areas within its range. Continued monitoring and research is recommended, as well as the inclusion of mangrove areas in marine and coastal protected areas.

Greek pension funds will not take part in a debt buy-back that is a key part of the country's international bailout, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras said in a newspaper interview.
Greece must conduct the deal by Dec. 13, before it receives more than 30 billion euros ($39 billion) in bailout payments from the euro zone and the International Monetary Fund.
Continue Reading Below
Athens has said it is vital the buy-back is successful, but it must attract enough interest from bondholders, who need to decide whether to participate in the process, to ensure the country's debt is deemed viable in the coming decade.
"The debt buy-back does not concern the pension funds," Samaras was quoted as saying in an interview with Sunday's Proto Thema newspaper.
"We wouldn't erase the debt even if we took the funds' bonds. These are seen as arrears of the state to itself."
Greek pension funds hold more than 8 billion euros out of a total 63 billion euros of Greek bonds held by private investors. Greek banks are estimated to hold nearly 17 billion euros.
Most of their capital has been already wiped out by an earlier debt cut in March and they must be recapitalised with more than 40 billion euros in bailout funds.
International lenders have agreed the bonds would not be purchased for more than the closing price on Nov. 23.
On the secondary market, Greek bonds eligible under the buy-back ranged from 25.15 to 34.41 cents in the euro at the close of trading on that date, according to Reuters data.
Greece aims to cut its overall indebtedness by spending 10 billion euros from its rescue package to buy back about 30 billion euros of bonds for less than it would have to pay if its creditors held them to maturity.
Samaras said that Greek banks would benefit from the voluntary debt buy-back deal, since they held Greek bonds at lower prices on their books.
"The banks won't lose out because (the bonds) on their books are down at a lower price," he said. "They won't lose any of their capital but will end up with more liquidity.

Gay Reporter James Kirchick Talks His On-Air Protest On Russian TV: 'It's A Way To Shame These People'
We brought you news of reporter James Kirchick's takeover of a news segment on Russia's RT network on Wednesday. Kirchick, who's openly gay, denounced the country (and its journalists that work for Kremlin-funded news sources) for its anti-gay legislation.
Now Kirchick explains how and why it all came about!
In an interview with FP on Wednesday afternoon, Kirchick explained his rationale for hijacking the segment. "I generally have a policy not to go on RT or Press TV or any of these dictatorial channels," he said. "But I had been so energized with all of the news out of Russia about the anti-gay laws that I thought this would be a good stunt to pull." Kirchick is no fan of stations like RT -- which he described as "disturbingly popular" among American youth -- and said that he had previously pulled a similar stunt on Press TV, which is funded by the Iranian government. "I consider it a way to shame these people who call themselves journalists and work at these stations," Kirchick said. "The only justification for anyone who is a Westerner, who lives in a free country, to appear on these stations is to behave in this way and show your utter contempt for them," he added.
Kirchick did the appearance from a television studio in Stockholm -- the rainbow suspenders were picked up in the bargain bin of a local second-hand clothing store -- and the studio's staff gave him a standing ovation for his performance. As for RT, Kirchick said they of course weren't happy about the stunt. A producer for the channel called Kirchick and informed him that RT wouldn't be paying for his cab ride -- a small price to pay. The channel later called the cab company taking him to the airport and tried to get his driver to leave him on the side of the road. But his cabbie would have none of it and ended up giving him a free ride."
Nice! What was your reaction to Kirchick's takeover yesterday, Instincters?
Do you appreciate his penchant for taking on "dictatorial channels"??
Think he gave his cab driver a big tip?

... but now I am not so sure . I do not have my own computer
so I am wondering if I can download the Greek font we are supposed to use at places like a library or at work and then simply delete it when I am finished. When and if I download the font or whatever the proper term is, will it look like Greek or will it look like the notation one sees in this forum?
Thank you for considering my rookie question.

And yet the trick of the light persists even the second time we see her, in a photo displayed during the credits her eye is just the same dull coloring it is here. It should also be noted that Laguna's eye is the only eye we see as such.
I'm quite sure her eyesight hasn't recovered before StrikerS ending, but I was hoping there would be more info on whether her eye would recover in the future. If all we have is that outdated description and the anime, then I think I'll stick to not having recovered.
Would make her more fun to write too. A character starting out with a handicap... let's hope it wasn't her dominant eye.

Jupp. The future Laguna I use has also a blind eye.
Actually I find this a lot more interessting, not only because it makes her a handicaped character like Keroko stated, but also that 'magic damage' can even cripple people.

Oh, hey, wait: in the RF6 battle, Vice is destroying Gadget Drones left and right. Since I think we can rule out him being a powerful enough mage that he can just overwhelm their AMF, that comes close to proving that he can fire physical damage.
(Oh, and from a narrative perspective, I do have to wonder about the idea that Laguna's eye is injured. That kind of paints Vice's recovery with an odd brush; I find it a lot easier for him to recover his confidence to help protect Tia from "Oniisan's such a numbnut; see, I'm not hurt!" than from "Oniisan shot my eye out of my skull, but I really don't blame him!")
Oh, hey, last question: where does it say that Laguna is Vice's actual sister as opposed to just a random kid from a hostage situation? I missed that completely.

So magic damage isn't as completely non-lethal as we initially thought. More like... rubber bullet non-lethal. You can still screw up and hurt people with them if you're not careful.

Okay, though, two more questions:
1. How is Vice destroying AMF-equipped Gadget Drones, then?
2. If a shot from a relatively low-power magic-damage attack hitting a soft target can cause permanent damage, then how the hell does Nanoha's Divine Buster (which is powerful enough to, oh, blow through multiple levels of armored bulkheads under AMF conditions) not cause permanent damage to things? I mean, the eyes are in the area of effect, and you can't tell me that they're taking less impact than they do from Vice's shot...
(Honestly, it sounds to me like whoever wrote the booklet got caught trying to justify the Vice scene and grabbed the easiest explanation without thinking it through but, eh, whatever...)

2. Maybe she can 'set' her magic to inflict damage to physical material but leave organics unharmed?

mmmh, i may be wrong, but i distinctly remember someone mentioning the fact Vice Bemoaned he was, at the time, not able to make "complete" magical damage.
Also, while Vice is not as strong as Teana, he *is* more experienced than begining!teana.
It is not that surprising that he could manage a technique that seemed to be about technique. Beside, mages are able to use techniques several ranks above their own with experience (in raw power). They just can't spam them (though in that case...i believe it was a tacnical difficulty more than strength).

I'm sure everyone realizes this, but the eye is extremely fragile compared to the rest of the body. A hit that would cause no lasting damage could irrevocably destroy the eye. For example, a paintball hitting me in the chest would only leave a red mark, but if it hits my eye, then I would be a very sad (and angry) Tempest.
The same could be said of a magic attack directly to the eye.

I have little doubt that had Nanoha been in Vice's place firing a Divine Buster, an injured eye would have been the least of Laguna's worries.

Investigators usually don't go to the front lines to fight, whereas Enforcers do.
Investigators gather intelligence so that others can do their work (Acous was not planning to fight at all in StrikerS for example). Enforcers are... more the James Bond type of investigators. They take action as well as investigate.

To be fair, the "Executive Officer" thing came out very late in the game, and the kanji does not translate nicely into English. "Executive Officer" in English culture is a 2nd in command, which would have also looked true given what little we see of them, but is not accurate either. Other alternatives are such awkwardities as "Execute Duty Officer". Maybe the whole reason for picking the name is to avoid linkages to Terran positions.
Of course, then there are the 捜査官. It probably isn't so much a combat v. non-combat thing, since IIRC Ginga is a 捜査官 herself, and the 執務官s have different styles themselves (some are lone wolves and some like leading teams). However, since 執務官 are stated to have certain legal powers (which presumably are special to them), they probably have greater authority than the average 捜査官.

ALEXANDRIA, Egypt (AP) — An Egyptian judge on Saturday released from jail two policemen who were convicted of beating a young man to death in a killing that helped inspire the country's 2011 uprising.
The move came after an appeals court earlier threw out the policemen's conviction and ordered a retrial.
The judge in an Alexandria court on Saturday ruled that the two be released during the retrial after their lawyers successfully argued they had spent more than 36 months in pre-trial detention after the conviction was overturned. The next hearing in the case is expected in early July.
The legal proceedings, however, were a far cry from the magnitude the case has had in Egypt's recent history.
The death of 28-year-old Khaled Said in Alexandria in June 2010 ignited public outrage after photographs of his severely beaten face were posted on the Internet and became a rallying cry against rampant police brutality under former President Hosni Mubarak.
A Facebook page in his honor called "We are all Khaled Said" was used to call for the protests that drew millions to the streets in Egypt's Arab Spring uprising that toppled Mubarak on Feb. 11, 2011.
But the circumstances behind Said's killing remained unclear. Witnesses said two plainclothes officers dragged him from an Internet cafe and beat him to death on the street. The reason he was confronted by police has never been fully explained.
Security forces and forensics reports initially maintained Said suffocated by swallowing a packet of drugs when he was approached - a claim met with derision after the photos were circulated showing his body covered with bruises, his teeth broken and jaw smashed.
In October 2011, a court convicted policemen Mahmoud Salah and Awad Ismail Suleiman of manslaughter in Said's case. They were given seven years in prison each.
The sentencing drew the ire of both pro-reform activists and the defendants' families.
Both the attorney general's office and the defendants' lawyers appealed the verdict, with neither side satisfied with the outcome of the initial trial. An appeal was later granted, and the conviction overturned.
As the decision to release the policemen from prison reached activists outside the courthouse in the Mediterranean coastal city, chants broke out against the police and Mubarak's successor, President Mohammed Morsi.
Said's mother, Laila Marzouk, told The Associated Press she feels her son died in vain.
"The rights of all the martyrs have been lost under the Muslim Brotherhood rule," she said, referring to the group from which Morsi hails.
The Brotherhood has continuously denied it is running the presidency from behind the scenes.
Marzouk said she was threatened with a knife by supporters of the policemen while in the courtroom on Saturday. But the head of security in Alexandria, Amin Ezzedine, dismissed her claims and said the courtroom was secured with electronic scanners outside.
Said's mother also said she had to some extent expected Saturday's decision, after another court earlier in the year ordered Mubarak released from prison following a ruling to overturn his conviction for failing to stop the killing of around 900 protesters during the bloodiest days of the uprising.
Mubarak's lawyers successfully appealed his conviction in January and a new trial of the former president is underway. Mubarak remains in prison pending investigations into allegations of corruption.

On "Mill Town"
Nancy Berke
Much proletarian literature of the 1930s concerned itself with the pathetic plights of working men. Depression-era historical documentation and popular culture are filled with familiar images of male figures standing on bread lines, slouching over watery soup in church basements, flagging down rides on desolate highways, or fighting policement or scabs during strikes. While Genevieve Taggard's proletarian collection Calling Western Union contains poems that honor working men and their difficulties, she pays particular attention to women. Whether they are the wives of strking workers, alienated members of the middle class, or laborers themselves, in Calling Western Union, women's issues take center stage.
The poem "Mill Town" stands out from the majority of poems in Calling Western Union that speak particularly about women's Depression-era experience. Rather than presenting women in their middle class security as in "Middle-Age, Middle Class Woman at Midnight" or "Interiors," or as they come to political consciousness in "At Last the Women Are Marching" and "Feeding the Children," "Mill Town" presents the bleak realities of laboring women. Taggard introduces the poem with an epigraph from medical historian Paul de Kruif. His book Why Keep Them Alive (1936), which appears to have inspired the poem's composition, details the public health crisis the Depression created, particularly the malnutrition and starvation of America's children.
Taggard begins the poem as an accompaniment to de Kruif's dispiriting scenario, imagining the woman whose "womb is sick of its work with death."
. . . then fold up without pause
The colored ginghams and the underclothes.
And from the stale
Depth of the dresser, smelling of medicine, take
The first year's garments. And by this act prepare
Your store of pain, your weariness, dull love,
To bear another child with doubled fists
And sucking face...
"Mill Town" provides a gendered vocabulary of working class experience by suggesting the double meaning of the word "labor." The woman of this "mill town" experiences the excessive strains of wage-labor and that of repeated childbirth. As the poem's opening lines explore domestic routine, the infant's tight rage is a reminder of the tenuous grasp the Depression era mother has on the domestic milieu.
The poem's last seven lines show an ambiguous attitude toward the woman's poverty. What we might construe as a scolding tone stands out in these last lines. It is unlikely, however, that Taggard would intentionally reprimand the mill mother for her passivity. Her sympathetic eye for working-class conditions as they affect women and children would provide a more critically engaged treatment of her subject's circumstances. Since nowhere else in Calling Western Union does Taggard take the male left to task for its insensitivity to gender issues, it is unlikely that she means to appropriate its voice, chiding the woman for not politicizing her position. Instead it appears that the speaker's reproachful tone appropriates the voice of a hypocritical and judgmental social order, which rebukes working class mothers who become pregnant repeatedly in an atmosphere of economic want.
Clearly it is best, mill mother,
Not to rebel or ask clear silly questions,
Saying womb is sick of its work with death,
Your body drugged with work and the repeated bitter
Gall of your morning vomit. Never try
Asking if we should blame you. Live in fear. And put
Soap on the yellowed blankets. Rub them pure.
In keeping with the poet's desire to portray the Depression-era woman who was not on the barricades, one must notice the poem's negative representation of the female body. Childbearing and mill work take serious tolls upon it. In childbirth it readies its "store of pain". . . "weariness," and "dull love"; negative too are the fruits of its labor. This "store of pain," one of Taggard's most disturbing images, exposes the womb as complicit in life as death; the "mill-mother" gives birth to children who then die of starvation. Thus the female body "drugged with work," incapacitated by morning sickness, and later the child-bed of unanesthetized home birth, also represents the isolation of those women whose participation in the social struggle so important to the poet are eclipsed by domestic burdens; of course inequalities of class and gender officiate these burdens--a "womb sick of its work with death."
"Mill Town" presents perhaps the bleakest portrait of working-class life in Calling Western Union. It also complicates Taggard's desire to create a sense of hope in her readers, and to keep with the objectives of the proletarian literature of the period to present the working class as progressive agents determined to usher in a new age and new culture. Taggard never claims, as did socialist and feminist writer Crystal Eastman in the early 1920s, that if and when capitalism fell, women would still be enslaved. Yet her portrait of the captive mill-mother, however, placed alongside a variety of poems whose themes are positive and optimistic, reveals the feminist poet's tensions between representing difficult social realities and imagining a future that could transcend them.

Publicized Motherhood in "Mill Town"
by Meg Boerema
What's first striking about "Mill Town" is its title. Since the poem describes a mother and not a town, why isn't it called "Mill-Mother"? This substitution of the word "Town" for the word "Mother" is significant for several reasons.
First, the title's erasure of motherhood performs the denial of motherhood that the poem describes. Motherhood in the poem cannot be realized. The mother's first child died, and we anticipate a similar fate for the second; the second child is always compared to the first, referred to only and always as "*another* child" (emphasis added). We might think then of the title's denial of the word "Mother" as participating in the poem's imagining of an unfulfilled motherhood.
Second, we might also think about the title's substitution of the collective and public "Town" for the personal and private "Mother" as participating in the poem's public representation of motherhood. The "Town" of "Hill Town," like the poem itself, brings motherhood into the public realm. Motherhood in "Hill Town" is very exposed. The first lines the poem, without any hesitation, announce the most intimate details of the mother's life: her mourning and her pregnancy. We then see the mother move from the public funeral to the public mill and back to her house. But even at home she has no privacy and we watch her, in a very private moment, putting away the clothes of her dead child. The poem's voice is also a very public voice and this compounds her exposure. A public investigator announces the cause of the child's death, and the announcement of the mother's pregnancy reads for me much like a news report:
"...the child died, the investigator said, for lack of proper food.
After the funeral the mother went back to the mill. She is
expecting another child..."
The collective "we" of the speaker's voice adds to a sense of the mother's exposure by creating an audience for the mother within the poem.
But what's most interesting about the public status of motherhood in this poem is that there seems to be nothing appropriative or accusative in its publicity. The mother's body remains her own--"Your body drugged with work and the repeated bitter/Gall of your morning vomit" (lines 12-13)--and she is the poem's victim, not its villain:
And by this act prepare
Your store of pain, your weariness, dull love,
To bear another child with doubled fists
And sucking face. (lines 5-8).
The publicizing of motherhood, then, does not seem to be an attempt to make private failures public, but an attempt to contextualize and share these failings. The poem implicates an economic structure, not the mother, for the death of the child. Hard as she works (remember how she goes to the mill right after the funeral!), the mill does not pay her enough to feed her children. The public performance of motherhood in "Hill Town" thus refuses motherhood's insularity and disallows an accusation of the mother than doesn't implicate the public.
Owing, then, to the speaker's sympathy for the mother and disavowal of her insularity, I can hear little accusation in the speaker's final directives "Soap on the yellowed blankets. Rub them pure" (line 15). Instead I read these directives not as telling the mother how to absolve her own guilt, but as begging her to absolve the public speaker of his. The publicizing of motherhood in "Hill Town," finally, is quite interesting because it is neither appropriative nor oppressive, but instead rather generous and sympathetic.

Four months after a major software malfunction at Knight Capital Group roiled markets and threatened the company's survival, a rival trading firm stepped in with an offer to buy Knight at a steep premium.
Getco put up a cash-and-stock offer that values Knight shares at $3.50 — a 41 percent premium over the closing price on Nov. 23, before the first published reports about a possible buyout. But it's a fraction of the company's worth before the meltdown.
Knight shares soared over 15 percent Wednesday and the company postponed an investor conference scheduled for Monday.
The company has one of the most advanced platforms for trading brokerages. The Jersey City, N.J., company takes stock trading orders brokers like TD Ameritrade and E-Trade. It routes the orders to exchanges including the New York Stock Exchange.
Getco's offer provides a possible path forward after Knight suffered massive losses from the malfunction that sent the shares of dozens of publicly traded companies haywire, blasting out nonsensical orders that few could, or would, match.
Getco offered Knight shareholders "a significant cash payment" as well as a chance to profit from the company's rebirth as part of a new entity.
The merger would involve a two-step process, according to a letter from Getco to Knight, beginning with the issuance by Knight of 242 million new shares and warrants to Getco investors. The warrants would allow holders to buy Knight stock at a set value on some future date.
The combined company then would offer to buy up to $539 million worth of Knight shares at $3.50 apiece. The offer would cover half of the outstanding Knight shares not already owned by Getco. The former owners, including Getco, would not be eligible to sell their stock. They would end up with a controlling stake in the company.
Getco already owns 57 million shares of Knight — about 31 percent of all outstanding shares.
Under the deal, Getco could end up paying more than $1 billion for Knight. That's the value of Knight's outstanding shares less the value of Getco's existing stake in Knight. The actual value of Getco's offer, however, would vary based on how many investors choose to sell their shares in the second phase of the merger.
A Getco spokeswoman declined to elaborate on the letter, which was filed Wednesday with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Getco became a major stakeholder after pitching in on a $400 million bailout of Knight this summer along with Jefferies Group, Blackstone, Stephens, Stifel Nicolaus and TD Ameritrade.
Those companies own stock that could be converted into a 73 percent stake in Knight — enough to effectively control the company after it was a hobbled by $461.1 million in losses directly related to the technical breakdown.
On Aug. 1, dozens of stocks rose and fell sharply for no apparent reason after Knight flooded the New York Stock Exchange with erroneous orders. Shares of company then called Wizzard Software, for example, raced 300 percent higher for no apparent reason.
After the problem was traced back to Knight, its shares lost three-fourths of their value in two days, forcing it to cede control of its operations on the New York Stock Exchange and seek a lifeline.
The timing of the malfunction, which would have been devastating at any time, was magnified by a series of market irregularities that raised questions of fairness and stability on U.S. stock exchanges given today's technology.
A flash crash in 2010 that sent the Dow Jones industrial average down 600 points in five minutes was followed this year by bizarre market entries by Facebook and BATS Global Markets, an exchange operator.
Getco said Wednesday that it has secured $950 million to help finance the deal.
Getco CEO Daniel Coleman would become CEO of the combined company and join its board of directors, according to a letter it sent to Knight Capital and its CEO, Tom Joyce. Joyce would become non-executive chairman.
The offer, the first to be aired publically, comes less than a week after The Wall Street Journal reported that two rivals had already approached Knight about buying its market-making operation, which matches buy and sell orders for stocks and other investments. The Journal reported Tuesday that Virtu Financial LLC, another high-speed trading firm, was preparing an all-cash offer.
Getco Holding Co. LLC, based in Chicago, is owned mainly by its partners and executive team. Its only outside investor is General Atlantic, a private equity firm based in Greenwich, Conn. General Atlantic bought a minority equity interest in Getco in 2007.
Knight shares rose 45 cents, or 15.2 percent, to close at $3.42 Wednesday. It traded around $13.50 earlier this year, but scraped bottom at $2.24 after the August disruption.

Letters to the University Community Investiture Postponed, Let's Rebuild Houston
September 17, 2008
We have just weathered one of the worst storms in our recent history. Considering the size and intensity of the storm, we should consider ourselves very fortunate. I toured the campus on Saturday and returned Monday. Our students in the residence halls are safe, our buildings are mostly unharmed (minor leaks and one with roof damage), but we seem to have lost many trees. We have electricity and the water pressure has been restored in our buildings. While the campus is ready, I realize that many of us are still challenged with no electricity and water.
As you know, we had planned special celebrations on our campus this week to mark the Investiture Week. Our primary purpose was to celebrate the past and envision our bold future together. However, Ike has challenged us to rise to a higher level...to act rather than just contemplate.
In response, I am postponing all investiture activities planned for the week and calling upon each and every one of you to dedicate this week to rebuilding your community. We are an army of more than 240,000 (59,000 students, 8,000 faculty/staff and 175,000 alumni living in the region) and we can help our region rebound in no time. How can you help?
At the individual level, continue to help your neighbors and your community!
At the department/college level, reach out to many communities and community partners with whom you are currently working. Organize any other activity that you think feasible, given your expertise and experience.
At the community level, follow directions from the Mayor, the County Judge and your community organizations as they call for organized voluntary help. If you can volunteer your time, you may call 713-881-3184 and offer your help.
At the university level, I have contacted the offices of Mayor White and Judge Emmett. As we get more direction for institutional level involvement, we will engage you and keep you informed.
I always say that Cougars are everywhere. Now is the time...so, put on your red shirt and help the city rebuild itself. Thank you for your participation and dedication. I am so proud of the University of Houston family and I know that we can make a difference.
Classes resumed Tuesday but professors and supervisors understand that individual students and staff will have individual situations and they are prepared to handle them. Please follow city and county advisories and keep personal safety first as you decide to return to campus.

Intracranial air collections, brain shift, and the accuracy of stereotactic electrode implantion analyzed by intraoperative computertomography
Suche in Medline nach
|28. April 2011
Objective: The effects of intraoperative air collections on brain shift and the precision of stereotactic electrode implantation is a matter of ongoing debate.
Methods: In 53 patients electrodes were implanted into the subthalamic nucleus (31), internal pallidum (12), or ventrolateral thalamus (9). Intraoperative CT scans obtained at the end of surgery were evaluated for the stereotactic electrode position, intracranial air collections, and the position of clearly identifiable anatomic landmarks (tip of lateral ventricles, pineal calcifications; and commissures were affected by electrode-induced artefacts).
Results: Air collections were found in 34 patients (mean volume 7.2 ml ± 13.7). The posterior shift of the tip of the lateral ventricles correlated with the volume of frontal air (r = 0.87; p < 0.0001). Only > 10 ml of air (n = 7) resulted in posterior ventricle shifts of more than 1.0 mm (mean 3.1 mm ± 1.9), which differed significantly from patients without or with less than 10 ml of air (p = 0.0001). Air collections that were restricted to or dominant in one hemisphere resulted in the increased shift of the ipsilateral ventricle. Pineal calcifications had shifted an average of 0.5 mm (± 0.7). In a few patients, anterior shift was noted and most patients revealed no shift (median 0 mm). The eucledian mean distance from the planned stereotactic target to the actual position of the electrodes was 2.2 mm (± 1.5). The deviation was highest in the direction of electrode implantation (i.e. error in depth; 1.7 mm, ± 1.6). The more critical lateral shift was 1.2 mm (± 0.8). In sterotactic coordinates the deviation was: x = 0.9 (± 0.8); y = 1.0 (± 1.0); z = 1.4 (± 1.4). In patients with intracranial air collections the average euclidan deviation was 2.2 mm (± 1.7) and did not differ from patients without air (2.4 ± 1.3 mm). Posterior shift of lateral ventricles of > 1 mm did not lead to (compensatory) selection of the posterior trajectory for permanent electrode implantation.
Conclusions: In contrast to what has been claimed, the overall accuracy of electrode implantation is not affected by even large air collections. Frontal air > 10 ml resulted in brain shift, which may affect the intracranial location of the anatomic target but this had no influence on trajectory selection. It is advisable to minimize the loss of CSF during stereotactic electrode implantation, although the effects of intracranial air collections < 10 ml on both stereotactic precision and the anatomic location of basal ganglia targets are negligible.

BOSTON (AP) — Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has signed a bill prohibiting "upskirt" photos of women.
Patrick's office said the governor signed the measure Friday, two days after the state's highest court ruled that a man who took cellphone photos up the skirts of female subway passengers in Boston wasn't violating state law as it's written.
The House and Senate responded by quickly passing legislation to make it illegal to take photographs of the "sexual or other intimate parts" of women or children in public.
The law, which takes effect immediately, would punish "upskirting" with a maximum penalty of two-and-a-half years in jail and a $5,000 fine.
The maximum penalties would increase to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine if the victim is a child.

Conference Primers: #31 – SWACPosted by rtmsf on October 2nd, 2007
Predicted Order of Finish.
- Alabama A&M (18-9) (13-5)
- Mississippi Valley St. (13-13) (12-6)
- Grambling St. (14-9) (12-6)
- Alabama St. (15-14) (10-8)
- Southern (13-15) (9-9)
- Jackson St. (12-17) (8-10)
- Arkansas-Pine Bluff (8-19) (8-10)
- Prairie View A&M (9-20) (8-10)
- Alcorn St. (5-20) (7-11)
- Texas Southern (5-23) (3-15)
What You Need to Know (WYN2K). Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the worst basketball conference in America! For three years running, the Southwestern Athletic Conference has found itself at the absolute bottom of every major computer ranking system (RPI, Sagarin & Pomeroy) as its ten schools have gone a collective 32-229 (.123) in OOC games during the last three seasons (easily the worst). Its
sacrificial lamb league champion has received eight straight #16 seeds in the NCAAs and four of those teams were relegated to the dreaded play-in game. Just how bad is it? Consider that tournament champion Jackson St. and regular-season champion Mississippi Valley St. were the only two schools with overall winning records last year – no other conference member won more than eleven games. There are no encouraging signs of change for this season.
Predicted Champion. Alabama A&M (#16 Seed NCAA). Yes, we're predicting a worst-to-first here, but the Bulldogs are the only SWAC school returning all five starters from last season, including dynamic sophomore guards Trant Sampson and Cornelius Hester as well as 6'11 defensive freak Mickell Gladness (6.3 bpg), who blocked an astonishing 20.5% of shots while he was on the court last season.
Others Considered. Grambling is an interesting team because they return four starters including the SWAC's best all-around player Andre Ratliff, but they also open a brand-new 7500-seat arena and we shouldn't discount the "new barn" effect. Mississippi Valley St. is another team to watch because they won the regular-season crown last season and return former Southern Miss coach James Green, who has inspired his teams to play maddening D, which will keep them in the hunt.
Games to Watch. There's only one game you'll find on tv from the SWAC, and it's the only game that matters for this conference all season.
- SWAC Championship Game (03.15.08).
RPI Booster Games. The SWAC plays 28 games against BCS conference opponents, and 26 of those are on the road. In a weird scheduling coincidence, only Auburn deigns to venture into a SWAC gym, and it does so twice – it could lose either of these if Lebo's team isn't careful.
- Auburn @ Alabama St. (11.17.07)
- Auburn @ Southern (12.16.07)
Odds of Multiple NCAA Bids. Nil. It's never happened before, and the reality of the non-conference "guarantee games" in the SWAC will ensure it doesn't happen again this year.
All-Name Team. Alabama St.'s Grlenntys "Chief" Kickingstallionsims is a cinch for national honors, but Texas Southern's St. Paul Latham is another worthy candidate.
Neat-o Stat. The SWAC likes to run, as half of its teams were among the top 62 fastest tempos in the nation in 06-07. By the same token, though, none can shoot the ball, as 9 of its 10 teams were among the bottom 35 teams last year in effective FG%.
65-Team Era. The SWAC is 1-21 in the era. Southern University (#13) defeated Georgia Tech (#4) 93-78 in the first round of the 1993 NCAA Tourney.
Final Thought. The SWAC isn't worth much in basketball, so we'll give it some love for something it's actually good at.

The Doctor Laboratory studies epithelial cell biology with a specific focus on the physiology and pathophysiology of the intrahepatic bile duct epithelium (BDE). The BDE is an absorptive-secretory epithelium that comprises only 2-3% of the liver cell mass. In response to specific hormones, the human BDE can contribute up to 40% of the bile volume. This significant flux of ions and fluid is the result of the coordinated movement and activation/deactivation of distinct transport proteins within specific domains of the epithelial cells. Within epithelial cells, the actin cytoskeleton contributes to the regulation of proteins at the cell membranes. The Physiology Section of the laboratory investigates how cytoskeletal linking proteins contributes to the movement, retention and regulation of transport proteins within the BDE.
The BDE is also the site of genesis for a number of liver diseases. Among these, genetic forms of liver cyst/pseudo-cyst diseases arise from the BDE. For example, autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease occurs in 1:800 individuals with liver cyst disease being the most prevalent extra-renal manifestation and accounting for 5-10% of the morbidity from ADPKD. The Pathophysiology Section of the laboratory investigates the molecular and cellular pathways responsible for the errant growth of ADPKD liver cysts. In an effort to develop medical therapies for treating ADPKD liver cyst disease, the laboratory uses genetic animal models of ADPKD to intercede in the identified molecular and cellular pathways and evaluate their capacity to inhibit liver cyst expansion.

Empire: Total War Latest News
Sega releases '15 years of Total War' retrospective video; teases Warhammer adaptation in the process
To celebrate fifteen years of Total War games, Sega has released a retrospective video that charts the course of franchise from inception to present day.
Most tantalizingly, the trailer also appears to tease the Total War: Warhammer game that developer Creative Assembly apparently has on the boil but has yet to make official.
Free-to-play 'typically lose 70%' of initial users, warns former Total War designer
Jan van der Crabben, former designer for Empire: Total War, has warned his fellows that studios should brace themselves for a 70% drop-off of initial registered users with their free-to-play titles.
Speaking at a GDC Europe keynote, Crabben said whilst the majority play for a little bit and then leave to never return, those who make it a fourth day will generally keep coming back.
New Total War game already in the works, the team "never stop"
Creatively Assembly have shipped Total War: Shogun 2 and now have the Aliens IP to work on, but that doesn't mean history gets a break from the UK studio.
Already they're digging into their next Total War chapter, which they were working on "whilst we were finishing Shogun 2", said studio director Tim Heaton.
SEGA hails UK internal studios as "bedrock" of their business
Total War's Creatively Assembly and Football Manager's Sports Interactive are the tops for SEGA, says Europe boss Gary Dunn. Both "outperforming" their plans.
The studios are "on top of the game," and are "very integral" to SEGA profitability. CA seen as "jewel in the crown" of SEGA - has "consistent highest quality".
Empire: Total War "probably a step too far" says Creative Assembly
Creative Assembly Lead Designer Jamie Ferguson has commented that the company may have over-reached themselves when it came to designing Empire: Total War.
In an interview with Strategy Informer regarding Shogun 2, we asked him whether depth beats scope...

Von Miller to have surgery on right knee
Jan. 08, 2014
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Von Miller is set to have surgery to repair his torn right ACL in Florida on Thursday.
Miller's rehab is expected to take six to nine months, meaning he could miss the start of the Denver Broncos' training camp next summer.
Miller's right knee buckled when he was blocked cleanly by Texans tight end Ryan Griffin in Denver's 37-13 win at Houston on Dec. 22.
That ended a rough season for the 2011 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, one that began with him serving a six-game drug suspension. He finished with five sacks in nine games.
Nate Irving has filled in at strongside linebacker in the base defense and defensive end Robert Ayers has subbed for Miller on passing downs.

Beaufort, South Carolina: Historic Seaport Flush with Coastal Beauty
Beaufort, a historic low-country seaport, is so charming that films such as Forrest Gump and The Prince of Tides shot scenes here. The quaint downtown area encompasses a smattering of boutiques, restaurants, and galleries all within walking distance of the inn. Seventeen miles north, at the end of a long country road, lie the crumbling, tabby-colored ruins of the prerevolutionary Old Sheldon Church. Built in the late 1740s, the church was torched by the British army in 1779, rebuilt in 1826, and torched again by Sherman's troops during his march to the sea in 1865. Today, visitors rest in the shadow of oaks draped in spanish moss and pause to reflect in front of the graves.
Hunting Island State Park, a semibarrier island, runs parallel to the Atlantic Ocean, with a 5-mile stretch of beach and thousands of acres of marsh and tidal creeks abounding with wildlife. At the top of the park's 133-foot black-and-white lighthouse, visitors look out on panoramic views of the ocean and aerial views of sea-turtle flash mobs.

Despite insinuating to Boulder police that he was only a passenger and country music superstar Taylor Swift had been driving his Porsche the day he was arrested for DUI in August, Crocs Inc. cofounder George Boedecker Jr. pleaded guilty Thursday.
Boedecker, 51, pleaded guilty to driving under the influence with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.2 or above, meaning his blood alcohol level was more than twice the DUI threshold of 0.08. It was his first DUI conviction.
Boulder County Judge Karolyn Moore immediately sentenced the footwear tycoon to two years of probation, which includes 30 days of in-home detention with electronic monitoring and other strict conditions, according to the Boulder County District Attorney's Office.
Boedecker, cofounder of Crocs and benefactor of the Boedecker Theater at the Dairy Center for the Arts, was arrested Aug. 12 after witnesses called Boulder police to say a man was sleeping behind the wheel of a running Porsche in the 3400 block of 22nd Street.
According to a police report, when officers and paramedics arrived at the scene, Boedecker exited the vehicle, which was parked partly on the sidewalk. Officers reported he smelled of alcohol, and was slurring his speech and having trouble keeping his balance.
Boedecker told paramedics he was taking a nap after leaving a benefit event earlier in the day. He told police that his girlfriend had been driving the black 2010 Porsche Carrera, but they had gotten into an argument and she had left. When asked whom his girlfriend was, Boedecker told the officer she was a "really (expletive) famous" singer, then asked the officer if he knew who Taylor Swift was, according to the report.
Boedecker was uncooperative with officers throughout the incident, according to reports, saying he was going to become "medieval" and that the arresting officer was now his "enemy for life." When asked to give his address, Boedecker replied, "I have 17 (expletive) homes," and also told the officers he would have their badges, according to the report.
Two days after his arrest, Dovetail Solutions, a public relations firm representing Boedecker, issued a statement that he acknowledged and regretted his run-in with police.
On Thursday, Boedecker issued another public statement through Dovetail Solutions, this time in connection to his guilty plea.
"I have pleaded guilty to the charges, and I accept responsibility for my actions and the resulting consequences. I am prepared to honor my legal obligations and accept my sentence," Boedecker was quoted as saying in the statement.
Boedecker has been authorized to serve his in-home detention in Tennessee. He will also be required to perform 96 hours of community service, pay a $600 fine and undergo alcohol treatment and monitoring, among other conditions during his probation.
