Answer: Yes
Answer: Sunlight harms vampires due to a supernatural effect, NOT the scientific effect of a thermonuclear reaction. Thus, sunlight will destroy a vampire where a non-supernatural thermonuclear reaction will not.
Do Machine People have internal organs? With Machine People, how exactly does their brain work, and will telepathy and other powers that affect the mind work at all on them since their brain is a computer and not a living organism. Do machine People actually EAT metals or do they just assimilate them into their bodies. Do Machine People have souls? Machine People being as complex as they are why do they not have their own sourcebook?
Answer: Reshapers begin with 3D6x10 SDC and 5 times their P.E. attribute in hit points. They gain 1D6 hit points and 10 SDC per level of experience.

Answer: No, they do not.
Answer: GMs options. Some Elves have never used a bow.
Answer: 2D6
Answer: Fire hatchling 12, Great Horned hatchling 12, Ice hatchling 10, Thunder Lizard hatchling 11

Answer: If the GM feels that the various dragons should progress at different rates, he is free to modify the experience tables for his individual campaign.
Answer: Draconids would get starting equipment and money standard for either a Line Walker or a Mind Melter (depending upon their lifestyle choice).
Answer: This is up to the GM's discretion.

Answer: They can.
Answer: Yes, They can.
Answer: The Special abilities of that particular O.C.C. will be given, and if they have a PPE Cost, then it will have a PPE Cost for the Godling. Powers that do not have a PPE cost will not have a PPE Cost for the character.
Answer: The demigod/godling would receive the appropriate starting spells (even those above 1st level).
Answer: The Line Walker OCC would not suffer the doubled PPE cost for using non-necromantic spells. The Necromancer OCC would get bonuses (such as spell strength and/or decreased PPE cost, etc.) based on their level. The GM should assign whatever they feel is appropriate. Normally when casting spells if the character has multiple O.C.C.'s, use the highest level which is appropriate for the spell being cast or ability being used.
Answer: Since the Lanotaur RCC was designed to be a NPC villain, any skills beyond the basic abilities listed were deliberately omitted. A GM that wishes to allow this for player characters is free to do so --just extrapolate from comparable/similar existing RCCs
Answer: Dragon-Cats receive the natural abilities listed in their description, along with their innate psionic and magical abilities. To receive any skills beyond these, a Dragon-Cat would have to enter an O.C.C. Dragon-Cats begin with 1D6x10 I.S.P. and gain 10 every level of experience.
Answer: No, a Burster can only fuel his original flame one time.
Answer: That is correct. You, can only get two extra rolls this way though even if on if you a six on the fifth dice.
Answer: The Façade of a Nightbane can belong to any non-supernatural humanoid races and True Atlanteans. For full details see Between the Shadows page 142.
Answer: As a rule, Faerie Folk have a set of unchanging skills and abilities. Each faerie type has their own R.C.C. skills but these don't increase with experience. At the GM's discretion, he may allow a PC Faerie to improve but this should be a very slow progression (such as the Dragon's experience table).
Answer: It begins with those spells.
Answer: Psi-Stalkers are an R.C.C They may enter any O.C.C.s that are not specifically denied them.
Answer: Demigods & Godlings in H.U. are considered to be either super-powered Aliens or Mystically Bestowed individuals. Just transfer their powers from Rifts over to their H.U. equivalent (extrapolating where necessary).
Answer: Although Psi-Slingers start off with 3 PAIRS of guns (making 6 in all), they can only bond with 3 of them, leaving the other 3 normal. Thus far, three seems to be the limit of guns that a Psi-Slinger can bond with. It takes a minute and requires 10 I.S.P. to make the link.
The 2 NPCs in the book show a -4 vs magic and psionics respectfully, and I didn't read a particular vulnerability in the racial stats. Which one is right or neither? Also the RCC stats show a +17 damage in ADDITION to powers and abilities, but based on the 2 NPCs this looks like a typo and the strength ability is all they get....is this true? ;)
Answer: Yes, they need a communicator. The -4 is correct. The +17 is correct for a typical Blhaze. Individuals may vary.
Answer: Silhouettes gain two additional secondary skills at levels 3, 6, and 9, and one more secondary skill at level 12.
Answer: Lycanthropes, wild and secondary vampires, and even dragon hatchlings can be considered minor supernatural creatures. Master vampires and adult dragons cannot be regarded as minors. For other creatures, just use their level of age and power as your guideline.
Answer: They get the additional P.P.E. and M.D.C. like humans etc when gainiing magic tattoos.
Answer: Yes, they gain additional skills.
Answer: Dragons generally come out of adolescence at around 600-650 years. However, as with many other species, there can be prodigies and late bloomers.
Answer: 2D6+3 is correct for Chiang-Ku hatchling P.P. and P.E. However, a roll of 12 on the 2D6 allows for a 1D6 bonus roll. Thus, the hatchling has the potential to reach 21 in these attributes.
Answer: Although it is possible for an Anti-Monster to integrate bio-wizardry into his body, it should be extremely rare and difficult.
Answer: Mind Melters are considered to be a separate species from human.
Answer: They can decide what sex they want to be, and whether they wish to impregnate or carry.
Answer: Psi Stalkers are bald, but who says they cannot wear wigs or have hair transplants.

Answer: The water must be liquid to affect vampires, otherwise the humidity in the air would affect them.
Answer: Nightbane can change at any time.
Answer: The psionics would be the same as for a Mind Melter as well as the RCC experience table being the same as a Mind Melter.
Answer: There is no lifespan listed, for now presume standard human life span (120 years max) for that race.
Answer: They are not affected by Phase Weapons.
Answer: A Nightbane has no duration for stays in morphus form, and there are no penalties for staying in that form
Answer: No, they cannot become a Blade Priest since they are not classified as True Giants. As for others they as long as they fit the guidelines for example any Man of Arms O.C.C. and it does not exclude them they can take it.
Answer: They can change OCC's but cannot select a R.C.C.
Answer: Direct mystical effects do not effect them, so TK rail guns etc. will not effect them, but a rock accelerated to rail gun speeds through magic will affect them.
Answer: Since this is a transformation they cannot do that. The only physical transformation that applies is the transformation to MDC from magic tattoos.
Answer: Body armour does not work, while intangible attacks will pass through the body armour.
Answer: It is supposed to be Deaden Pain.
Answer: All electrical based damage, lightning, electric fences etc do half damage.
74. How does a Psi-Nullifier (Psyscape) stack up against Martial Artist with Chi Mastery abilities from Ninjas & Superspies? Can the Nullifier negate any or some of the Martial Artist's abilities/powers?
Answer: The Chi Mastery powers are not magic or Psionic based, and as such cannot be affected by the Psi Nullifier.
Answer: Yes they could select those magical O.C.C.'s
Answer: They cannot reproduce with other species.
Answer: It is up to the GM to decided if they can sense other races. Many may know contacts, and changeling friendly places to establish contact with others of their kind.

Build: Medium
Total Bio-E: 0
Attribute Bonuses:
Natural weapons:
Answer: There are no stats in the books for Penguins or Kiwi birds. These best idea would be to use small bird for the kiwi, and no flight abilities. For Penguins, they cannot take the flight ability, instead as powers to be bought, a insulated feather layer, and swimming. Rifter #18 has official statistics for the Penguin.
Answer: That NPC can be considered a special case (like all NPC's), or a Mind Melter may elect to switch occ's (freezing their advancement as a Mind Melter) and change to another OCC.
Answer: Changelings and Goblin Cobblers do not become MDC creatures when on Rifts Earth (Many creatures of magic become MDC, but some do not).

(If physical attacks pass right through then I would say that the answer is yes). Can he turn himself, and say a 10 foot pole that he is holding intangible and then put that same pole into a vital organ in an enemy's body and then turn tangible and kill him?
Answer: Yes, he can walk through living matter. No, he can no do that with a pole.
Answer: No he cannot, because the character will be merged with a solid object, both effectively becoming one. This merging is at the molecular level, and is totally different from most other kinds of death.
Answer: It is physical. Real world physics do not often go hand in hand in dragons, so you could say there is some sort of magical assistance to the flight if you wish.
Answer: Anything within the size constraints From a Rabbit, to a Horse, to a Bear, to a South American Condor (providing they know the form they are changing into).
Answer: Yes, the abm mechanoid organism can fit into the new bodies.
Answer: This was probably omitted form the final version, so they do not possess built in force fields. However if you wish them to have force field, allow them to have built in equivalents to the Naurni Force Fields.
Answer: Yes, they can survive on animal blood but the urge is for human(oid) blood. This means even after drinking animal blood, seeing human blood may spark hunger/thirst, and the need to drink. They cannot learn super psionics.

Their stats will be identical to human vampires, though gross physical changes and their bonuses (like 4 arms etc) will apply.
Answer: That is up to the individual GM, as to what is playable or not. For Equipment and money, they would probably have the same as a operator.

Answer: The chains are SDC when in astral form and MDC when in physical form.

+1D4x10 SDC
Reduce spd by Half.
Remember the Female is larger than the male.
Answer: They make it, by writing the spell on paper, much like a traditional spell scroll from most fantasy games. P.P.E. is spent when the spell is inscribed for use later on (the stored P.P.E. then fuels the spell). As to time to create, simple spells can be done in 2-3 actions if prepared, while complex magic may take hours to inscribe before being released. You can prepare as many as you want, but sorting them out etc if there are two many mat be a problem.
Answer: 2D6 for P.B. is reasonable.
Answer: Magic and psionics affect were creatures as stated under the Werewolves limited invulnerability on p191.

Answer: They are not beginning heroes, having spent years, or decades practicing the martial arts, and improving their level of experience (after all they are pretty old, and wise, unlike normal beginning heroes).
Answer: P.P.E. would be based on their micronized statistics.
Answer: They do not get all the bonuses from the power, but it is treated as superhuman strength for the purposes of lifting and carrying, as well as maximum P.S..
Answer: Only by ingesting it, but then it would poison the Psi-Stalker. The damage the poison inflicts is direct to hit points, so it has a good chance of killing a Psi-Stalker who decides to ingest it.
Answer: They have supernatural strength.
Answer: The predominance of holy symbols will ward a vampire away from such places. The Miracle of concenscration in Dragons and Gods, will cause vampires who tread on the ground burn as if the ground was covered in holy water.

Answer: They cannot receive other psionic powers apart from what is listed, so there can be no Dog Boy Bursters or Mind Melters.
Answer: They do not.
Answer: Physical attacks and supernatural strength will hurt them, same as physical manifestations of magic.
Answer: Supernatural creatures generally cannot become vampires, however most humanoid S.D.C. races can be turned into Vampires, and use the same statistics as human vampires. Splynn Dimension Market gives guidelines for non human vampires.

Answer: They are vulnerable.
Answer: M.E.x2 +10/level.
Answer: No.

Answer: Same as the adult dragon.
Answer: 1,000 but most die young since they love to fight.
Answer: They cannot.
Answer: They can control their weight.
Answer: They do get an additional attack. When do they transform? They do not transform as such, but are essentially peaceful creatures but when they fight they are fierce fighters.
Answer: Generally they cannot take these forms. If you allow them they should only be allowed in Facade form.
Answer: Generally not, it all depends on which dragon species and what natural powers they possess.
Answer: As many times as they want.
Answer: They lose their current PSI powers and receive those of the other O.C.C.. All other powers and abilities of the Psi Stalker remain the same.
Answer: The penalties are generally social in nature. Until the stink fades no one will want to get near, refuse to communicate with the character, lead a distinctive scent trail. If smell is involved, reductions to the Trust/Intimidate, or Charm/Impress may be appropriate, likewise skills and abilities. But it all depends on the severity of the stench.
Answer: They can use magic weapons (anyone can use a magic weapon - TW weapons are a different story though, not everyone can use them).
Answer: A save vs. Horror factor is required before attempting to charm them.
Answer: They do not gain these abilities.
Answer: They will have 2 x their Hit Points and S.D.C. combined. In Rifts use twice their M.D.C..
Answer: The armor does not provide any protection since it is intangible and the attack passing right through it.
Answer: Their combat training in facade does not apply to morphus forms (both more differently, and while a technique in one form may be possible, the change of body may make that move harder or impossible to perform.
Answer: No, burnout is inevitable and no powers would be gained.
Answer: They are closed off to Psi-stalkers.
Answer: Creatures of magic can receive Cybernetics and bionics at the cost of natural magical abilities. Those with magical regeneration will tend to expel cybernetic and bionic systems.
Answer: Yes it can restore lost limbs.
Answer: Picking an O.C.C. can be considered an option.
Answer: Yes it is entirely possible.
Answer: It may be possible since Brodkil Demons in Germany can receive this augmentation, but it is up to the individual G.M. to decide.
Answer: They do not.
Answer: They can learn such magic's, and it is useful for transforming others not of their race.
Answer: That is reasonable.
Answer: Use the details from the most recent printing.
Answer: In most cases it will be possible to undergo borg body replacement.

Cancer patients and survivors who felt tired or sluggish reported feeling noticeably better after taking ginseng supplements for two months, in a new study.
"Nearly all patients with cancer can suffer from fatigue at some point; either at diagnosis, during treatment and even after treatment, and (fatigue) can linger for several years," said lead author Debra Barton, from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
"The issue with cancer-related fatigue is that it can be a profound fatigue that is not relieved by sleep or rest and that it can significantly impact the ability of people to accomplish the things they are used to doing every day," Barton said in an email.
Ginseng had shown promise for fatigue in earlier studies as well, researchers said.
Tired cancer patients and survivors often turn to that and other dietary supplements such as Coenzyme Q-10, L-Carnitine and guarana, but not all are supported by evidence.
To look more closely at the effects of ginseng, Barton and her coauthors split 364 people with cancer-related fatigue into two groups. People in one group took 2,000 milligrams of Wisconsin ginseng daily for eight weeks; those in the other group took placebo capsules.
Participants reported their fatigue on a specialized questionnaire. Researchers then weighted those answers on a 100-point scale, where higher scores indicate more energy. Both groups started with an average score around 40.
After eight weeks, the ginseng group reported a 20-point score increase, on average, compared to a 10-point improvement for the placebo group, according to results published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
That's more than enough change to be noticeable in daily life, according to the scale.
Of the 364 people enrolled at the start of the study, 80 dropped out before the eight-week mark. Although that's a high number, dropout rates were similar in each group - so the results shouldn't be affected, Barton said.
Side effects such as nausea, vomiting and anxiety were not any more common among people taking ginseng.
"Ginseng is interesting because it acts on inflammation, and we think inflammation explains cancer-related fatigue," said Catherine Alfano, deputy director of the office of cancer survivorship at the National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland.
The results of this trial are promising, but they aren't enough to recommend that doctors suggest this supplement to patients, she said.
A bottle of 100 capsules containing 500 mg of Wisconsin ginseng each costs about $10 at a drugstore. Dietary supplements such as ginseng are not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
"There may be ginseng available in the local stores that is very different from what this study used, and some that is quite similar," Barton said. "There are different types of ginseng, different strengths (doses) and since it is a plant, (it) has to be grown, picked, processed and manufactured to get from field to store."
It's difficult for people to tell what exactly they're getting when they purchase supplements, she said.
Also, it is not yet known how ginseng may interact with drugs or with cancer treatment itself - another reason patients should not go out and use it to medicate themselves just yet, said Alfano, who wasn't involved in the new study.
More research needs to be done to determine why ginseng seemed to have stronger anti-fatigue properties for people undergoing cancer treatment than after treatment, she said.
"Cancer-related fatigue can be really profound in some cases," she said. "People really want answers."
There is a great deal of evidence that a simple exercise program, even just regular walking, can work against cancer-related fatigue, and that's what Alfano said she would most strongly recommend to patients.

4-pound hairball removed from Clearwater tiger
Hairball discovered after tiger wouldn't eat
It's not unusual for a cat to get a hairball, but a 400-pound tiger needed help from Tampa Bay area surgeons when he couldn't hack up a basketball-size hairball by himself.
BluePearl Veterinary Partners reports that a 17-year-old tiger named Ty underwent the procedure Wednesday at its Clearwater clinic.
Ty was initially brought to BluePearl on Monday after not eating for nearly two weeks.
Doctors found the 4-pound obstruction but determined it couldn't be removed with a scope because of its size. Surgery was selected as the preferred method.
Ty is cared for by Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation in Seminole. The nonprofit animal rescue group mainly serves by assisting Florida law enforcement with animals that have been seized.

The Examiner obtained copies of the attachments that BISD officials wanted to keep from the public and has placed them above the meeting agenda.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth.

Gallery: (Some Of) Amy Winehouse's Final Collection For Fred Perry
Although we've speculated in the past that Amy Winehouse's fall 2011 collection was the last one she designed for Fred Perry, it turns out there's one more. The British fashion house released 14 items from Winehouse's spring 2012 collection for sale online today to coincide with with the release of her posthumous album Lioness: Hidden Treasures. (The rest will be released closer to, you guessed it, spring 2012.) Much more colorful than the fall collection that came out shortly after her death, these pieces are inspired by "Amy's love of 50s Americana and art deco Miami" and include lots of pinks, blues, and whimsical prints. The portion of the proceeds that would have gone to Amy will go instead to her posthumous foundation to help young people struggling with addiction. Out of respect for the recently dead, I will present the teaser collection sans my usual rough-and-tumble japery.

Istanbul's Pera Palace to Reopen and Seek Return to Glory Era
The main hall of Pera Palace in Istanbul, Turkey. AP Photo/Pera Palace. ISTANBUL (AP).- It was the last stop on the Orient Express, a grand hotel with Istanbul's first electric elevator where artists and aristocrats sipped champagne beneath chandeliers as the Ottoman Empire dissolved and the world drifted toward war. Mata Hari, accused of spying and executed in France in 1917, stayed at the Pera Palace Hotel. So did Greta Garbo, who played the shadowy dancer in a 1931 movie. Ernest Hemingway checked in to report on war between... [Lire la suite]

LAS VEGAS (AP) — A former housemate told a Nevada jury on Tuesday that he witnessed both the beginning and the aftermath of a physical argument that his friend acknowledged ended in the death of his girlfriend, a dancer in the Luxor hotel-casino's "Fantasy" revue.
Louis Colombo testified that he tried before leaving the house late Dec. 12, 2010, to calm an argument that had Deborah Flores Narvaez pushing and pointing her finger into the chest of Jason Omar Griffith, and Griffith grabbing Flores' throat with both hands.
When Colombo returned, he saw Flores' body on the floor. Griffith told him that he choked Flores from behind after she complained that her throat was injured and she needed an ambulance.
The call would almost certainly have led to Griffith's second arrest in two months on a domestic violence charge. The first, after an October fight with Flores, had set Griffith into a depressive tailspin that jurors have been told that Flores, who Colombo knew as Debbie, helped nurse him through.
All the while, Griffith, 31, a dancer in the Cirque du Soleil show "Love" who went by the nickname "Blu," juggled efforts to romance another dancer in another Cirque show.
The fatal argument began with Flores' complaint that Griffith didn't spend enough time with her, Colombo said as prosecutor Marc DiGiacomo asked him to tell the jury what Griffith told him about the fatal moments.
Colombo said Griffith told him the fighting escalated after Flores insisted that Griffith call an ambulance, "and as they were walking out of the room he grabbed her from behind ... choking her from behind."
Griffith told Colombo he tried to listen for Flores' heartbeat, but couldn't hear because of the pounding in his own chest. Griffith said he put a plastic shopping bag over Flores' head to see if she was breathing, but she wasn't. The bag was still there when Colombo returned home.
Colombo acknowledged helping Griffith try to dispose of the body in tubs of concrete, and endured intense cross-examination from defense attorney Abel Yanez about receiving blanket immunity from prosecution as an accessory to the slaying.
Several times, Yanez derided the agreement as "the deal of the century."
Colombo, now 35, told detectives in January 2011 where to find Flores' body in the concrete.
He said he and Griffith had first entombed the body in one big tub. But that proved too heavy to move and store, so the two men trucked it in a rental van to a vacant downtown house, broke the cement apart, removed Flores' remains, cut the legs from the torso, and entombed them again in two smaller tubs of concrete.
"Who does the cutting?" DiGiacomo asked about the dismemberment.
"Jason," Colombo said.
"What does he use?"
"A hand saw."
"Did you see?" the prosecutor asked.
"I just turned away," Colombo replied.
Griffith was arrested the day Flores' body was found. He has pleaded not guilty to murder and could face life in prison if convicted.
His attorneys maintain that Flores had a history of stalking and violence against Griffith and previous boyfriends in Maryland and Las Vegas.
They haven't said if Griffith will testify in his defense.
A key piece of evidence could be a video recording that Griffith made while confronting Flores about his car tires being slashed. In it, Flores admits hitting Griffith, entering his house, looking on his computer, pouring egg whites on his car and slashing three tires.
The trial continues Wednesday.

The DLR storm research program
Storms are more than just spectacular weather events; they also exercise considerable influence on atmospheric chemistry and Earth's climate. Lightning combines nitrogen and oxygen to form large amounts of nitrogen oxide. However, it is not known just how much nitrogen oxide is created by these events. Researchers from the German Aerospace Agency (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) Institute of Atmospheric Physics (Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre) in Oberpfaffenhofen have come up with some very surprising results: tropical storms create less nitrogen oxide than had been expected.
DLR's researchers from the Oberpfaffenhofen institute have been investigating extreme tropical storms in recent years with numerous missions using research aircraft and lightning-location equipment in four continents. The results were quite unexpected and cast a completely new light on processes inside extreme storm clouds: "Although tropical storms unleash a very large number of lightning strikes, they produce far less nitrogen oxide than we expected. Our detailed investigations demonstrate that not only the number of flashes is important, but also their length", says Dr Heidi Huntrieser, a meteorologist at the institute. "In short-lived tropical storms, lightning flashes are shorter, on average, than in our part of the world, where wind shear is more pronounced", Dr Huntrieser adds. The greater wind shear results in greater changes in wind strength and direction with increasing altitude. This separates the up- and down-draught zones of a storm cell and the storm is thus able to increase in intensity, grow in size and last longer. Work by NASA has confirmed the recently published results of the DLR institute's research programme.
Flying into the heart of the storm with DLR research plane Falcon
In recent years, the DLR Institute has flown numerous measurement missions in the context of EU tropical research programmes. It is in this part of the world, where most storms occur, that nitrogen oxide measurements were made by flights right into the heart of storm clouds. DLR set up a ground-based Lightning Detection Network (LINET) to measure lightning activity in the clouds. In 2004 and 2005, DLR's Falcon research plane was used for flights in Brazil and these were followed by missions in Australia and West Africa. In Darwin, at the tropical northern tip of Australia, one of the strongest and most regular storms in the world, Hector, was investigated in detail.
Storms possibly have only a limited effect on climate
Lightning creates nitrogen oxide, which can also form ozone, an important greenhouse gas. It has so far been assumed that stronger storms would occur in a warmer world, leading to more nitrogen oxide and ozone formation, which would in turn influence the climate in a feedback loop. According to the DLR researchers, the opposite is more likely to be true. Storms would be more violent in a warmer world, but they would be less frequent. This could even reduce the mean incidence of lightning flashes around the world as a whole. This hypothesis would also explain some long-term observations of lightning trends. The effect of storms on climate, according to these results, is likely to be the opposite of what has often been believed so far. The DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics used the ECHAM global climate model in its research.

Brookdale Hospice is need of volunteers to provide companionship and socialization through friendly visits to seniors in Onterio and surrounding areas!
Brookdale Hospice is an organization that provides comfort care to patients where they live, which can be: Assisted Living Facilities, residential homes, board and cares, or nursing homes. Patients receiving hospice care are those who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness and have approximately 6 months or less to live.
Be that friendly face to talk with seniors out in the community who may not have anymore family alive, or family lives out of town, or be that person who can go grocery shopping for them. Volunteering can even consist of doing fun legacy projects, such as going through old pictures and helping that person write their autobiography, or just hearing all of their cool and interesting stories!
We get really creative here at Brookdale Hospice to make sure we are doing our best to ensure that our patients have quality of life at the end of their life.

Professor Thompson's Lab
The main focus of research in my lab is on the mechanisms through which the neuropeptide vasotocin influences social behavior in goldfish. Vasotocin is the evolutionary precursor to vasopressin, which is found in the brains of mammals, including humans. However, the fish vasotocin system is less specialized than are the vasotocin systems found in other non-mammalian vertebrates or the vasopressin systems found in mammals, which facilitates our efforts to understand the fundamental ways through which these peptides influence social behavior in vertebrates. We have found that vasotocin infusions into the brain inhibit social approach behavior in goldfish, potentially by affecting brain systems involved in the regulation of anxiety. We have also been trying to determine where within the brain that vasotocin exerts such behavioral effects, and in so doing have identified a very well developed pattern of vasotocin terminal fibers in the hindbrain that could influence social behavior through autonomic regulatory mechanisms. Future work will use combined behavioral, neuroanatomical and molecular approaches to identify the precise brain circuits associated with vasotocin's behavioral actions in this species.
Although most of our work has focused on non-mammalian systems, we have also begun to investigate how vasopressin influences functions related to social communication in humans. The fact that vasotocin and vasopressin influence various social behaviors in many species from diverse vertebrate groups suggests that functions related to social regulation have, in general, been highly conserved during evolution, but nobody had tested whether or not vasopressin has any effects on social behavior in humans. Using psychophysiological techniques, a former student and I found that intranasal vasopressin administration affects facial muscle activity patterns related to social communication. Specifically, it prompts men to respond to emotionally neutral social stimuli as if they were threatening. We are currently repeating those studies in men and women to see if vasopressin similarly affects how both sexes perceive social stimuli.
Since coming to Bowdoin I have also begun to collaborate with Patsy Dickinson in the biology department to conduct electrophysiological studies measuring pheromone effects on brain processes in newts. Our students have collected data showing that sex pheromones enhance the processing of female tactile stimuli that takes place in the male's hindbrain, potentially by inducing local vasotocin release within this part of the brain. Two students currently working with me and Prof. Dickinson are continuing these electrophysiological studies. Additionally, they are trying to use neuroanatomical methods to identify the vasotocin circuits mediating such sensory system interactions.
Summer Research:
2-3 students typically work in Rick's lab every summer, supported through grant funds or college fellowships. Many have gone on to present their data at conferences and some have even been co-authors on papers describing the work.

Good teaching is allowing pupils to make up for previous gaps in their learning. Pupils have good attitudes to learning because teachers plan activities which maintain pupils interest and enthusiasm. Pupils are proud of their work and this is reflected in their books, which are very neatly presented.
The academy provides well for pupils of all abilities. The most able pupils are given work which is at the right level and are encouraged to do as well as they can and so they make good progress.
Pupils enjoy reading and use the well-stocked library to choose a different book each week. Daily reading sessions, together with well-taught phonics (the sounds that letters make) help to secure pupils good achievement in reading.

In less than three years, Jacksonville has gained four theater companies whose productions are helping feed a steadily growing audience.
In less than three years, Jacksonville has gained four theater companies whose productions are helping feed a steadily growing audience.
Debbie�s Angels, Legacy Theater Company, Onslow Players and the New River Players of Coastal Carolina Community College are part of the emerging thespian community.
Though Onslow County has lacked options in live theater, it hasn�t been without it. For decades, students at CCCC have put on shows as the Act I Club. Their leader for much of their existence was theater teacher Donald Williams, who arrived at the college in 1985.
For a quarter-century, Williams led the Act I Club and put on a wide range of shows, from dark comedies (Waiting for Godot) and light hearted musicals (Nunsense) to heart breaking dramas (Our Town). Variety was the name of the game for the Act I Club, and Williams didn�t want it any other way.
�I loved every minute of it,� said Williams.
In 2010, Williams went into semi-retirement and took his final bow as the head of the acting group. Though he helped out with a recent CCCC production Williams says he�s leaving the decisions up to his successor, Eric Kildow.
Kildow says he wants to do shows that will entertain, but also challenge the community. Kildow believes more theater is generally a good thing for a town, but can foresee the possibility of trouble coming out of the theater boom Jacksonville is experiencing
�There are so many companies fighting for limited time and resources,� Kildow said. �Everyone wants to be king of their castle.�
Kildow�s New River Players have established themselves as Jacksonville�s �straight theater� company, opting for plays over musicals, a fact that pleases Allie Lovett, who has been in two shows with the New River Players.
�This is a great experience,� Lovett said. � � I get to delve into something deeper.�
The circumstances that brought the founders of the four Jacksonville community theater companies to town vary. For example, Kildow came to Jacksonville after stints in Savannah, Ga., Raleigh and Lansing, Mich. But perhaps the most urgent story comes from Meme Simmons, founder and director of Debbie�s Angels.
After graduating from Jacksonville High School, Simmons left for New York City to study at the American Music and Drama Academy. Simmons worked on the New York stage and on national tours. In 2007, she was getting ready for another audition when she fell ill and was later diagnosed with lupus. It seemed her theater dreams were shattered when she returned to Jacksonville.
�I was more upset about coming back home than my kidneys,� she said.
Simmons fell deeply into depression for months. Then her minister pushed her back into the theater game by asking her to direct a church production at Sandy Run Baptist Church.
�How could I say no to a pastor?� Simmons asked.
Simmons caught the directing bug and directed five more productions for her church. Her newfound love for directing inspired her to create something she had been thinking about for more than two decades. In 2011, Debbie�s Angels was born. Simmons named the company after her mother, a former officer with the Jacksonville Police Department. According to Simmons, Debbie�s Angels� brand of �edgy� musical theater entertainment has caught the attention of Eastern North Carolina theatergoers.
�I�ve been going to Debbie�s Angels shows for years now,� New Bern Resident Aaron Williams said. �(Simmons) is a very talented woman.
Williams, an actor in his own right, says he appreciates the quality Debbie�s Angels brings to the region, which he says is hard to find in small town America. Furthermore, Williams believes seeing a show put on by the company is a steal.
�The tickets are cheap and the quality is high,� says Williams.
Bringing culture and theater to Jacksonville is a passion shared by the Legacy Theater Company�s founder, Erika Hose. With the exception of a brief stay in Jacksonville in the mid-80s, Hose spent the first 29 years of her life in New York City, also honing her skills as a performer. She, too, came to Jacksonville in 2007 but by choice instead of necessity
�New York is a very expensive place to raise a family,� said Hose. �When I came for a visit � it just felt like home. My husband agreed and we moved.�
Like Debbie�s Angels, Legacy has its roots in the church. Hose and her husband, James, would put on Easter and Christmas pageants. Soon, though, Hose made a move outside of the church due to the company�s growth. To date, Legacy has outgrown three locations and earlier this month opened its new theater space on Onslow Drive.
�Finding space in Jacksonville that would fit our very unique needs was difficult,� said Hose. �We have an amazing theater � and we cannot wait to share it with our community.�
Volunteers from the community are the backbone of all the community theater companies in Jacksonville.
�Volunteers are the heartbeat of Legacy,� Hose said. �Everyone who is involved at Legacy, including myself, at this time is a volunteer.�
Legacy�s most prominent volunteering corps is its actors. Since December, Nikki Dyba has been one of those actors. Her path to Legacy started in her youth across the Atlantic Ocean.
�I used to sing in a band in London,� Dyba said. �Years later, I took lessons with Erika and she told me about (Legacy).�
Dyba describes her experience as �rewarding� on multiple levels, especially in regard to the standard of shows Legacy puts on.
�My mother is an avid theater patron,� Dyba said. �She said these shows could be on West End.�
The companies have gotten off to an ambitious start with the hopes that theater � and audiences � will be around for the long term.
Simmons has a full schedule coming up with a performing arts camp in June and Broadway Jr. for the kids as well as a new edition of Broadway after Dark for the adults.
�We�re going to have some dance numbers, more racy songs and more new talent,� Simmons said.
Hose hopes Legacy becomes a regional theater company that offers Jacksonville a broader range of entertainment.
�I see Legacy becoming a place where concerts are given and events are held,� said Hose �I see a larger building in our future and I am excited about the possibilities.�
Shaun Moe, who is doubling as head of the Onslow Players and choir director at Jacksonville High School, wants to put on challenging, adult oriented shows like Rent as well as family-friendly mainstream shows like Oliver and Annie.
�I�m trying to reach people that can�t go to Raleigh or Durham to see a show,� Moe said. �I want to inspire kids. I want families to take their kids.�
Moe says that every cent the Onslow Players make goes toward paying for the next show and that the company�s first show was financed entirely by him � a move he does not regret.
�I am my own best investment,� said Moe. �I�m a �put your money where your mouth is� kind of person.�
Though resources are limited, the companies try to help sustain each other in their love of theater.
�The more we support each other, the more we create a unified front,� Moe said.

Class: Knight
Special: Flying, random: Dance-fighting, Leadership, Shockmancy, Thinkamancy, Dollamancy, or Foolamancy
Proposed Canon
A humanoid, knight-class, flying unit first seen in the service of Charlescomm. They are nearly all female, and their standard raiment is much like that of an airline stewardess from the 1960s. They have random special natural abilities from a set comprised of dance fighting, leadership, and spells from the schools of Shockmancy, Thinkamancy, Dollamancy and Foolamancy. They gain additional abilities from that set as they gain levels. When preparing for dance fighting, they have dressed in a 1950s dance style. When off duty, they have been known to wear very little.
Archons are intelligent and have names (such as Jaclyn, Ginger, MaryAnn, Patty, Maxene, and LaVerne). Archons with spellcasting capacities are not true Casters: their abilities are referred to as natural magic, for example natural foolamancy.Erf-b1.5-p007 They are also possessed of significant tactical and administrative skills. Archons bring powerful combat and support spells to their employers. Some Archons are able to detect the presence of spells that influence Units, including but not limited to Suggestion Spells and Veils; they can also identify what's being Veiled.
Decrypted Archons retain their ability to cast, unlike uncroaked Archons.
Non-Decrypted Archons have a minimum Upkeep of 200 Shmuckers and high-Level ones close to 500 Smcks per Turn.
Known Abilities
Spells that Archons are known to have cast include:
- Thinkamancy: Thinkagrams
- Foolamancy: DDR trick and "Fireworks display" Erf-b1.5-p007
- Shockmancy: Blast/energy spells
Known Users
Charlescomm - They're Charlie's main unit and carry out nearly all of his contracts to other sides, as well as serving as his personal intelligence network. There are roughly 600 of them working for Charlescomm, 20% of them are in the capital and the rest abroad. Charlescomm can pop archons quickly, at 1 per turn or 3/2 turns with a turnamancer, maybe due to the Arkendish.
Gobwin Knob - after undergoing decryption. Following the Battle for Gobwin Knob, Gobwin Knob has 28 decrypted Archons in its ranks. At day, they scout nearby hexes for newly popped wild dwagons that Stanley can tame; at night they return to their sorority-like quarters at the top of the Tower of Efdup.
As non-Casters, Archons would not benefit from Linking, may not have Juice, and are likely not permitted in the Magic Kingdom.
Under Charlie, Archons are mercenaries. Given that both the Arkenhammer and Arkenpliers have special Units associated with them (dwagons and decrypted respectively), it is likely that Archons have some special relationship to the Arkendish. As such, they may be overpowered (ie. unbalanced) relative to normal units of their type, or perhaps the power of the arkendish enables Charlie to transmit his leadership bonuses to them.
They know more about Charlie's secrets than most, but do not know all, most having never met him; the decrypted archons answered some of Parson's questions about him.Erf-b1.5-p046
Their changing "outfits" when preparing to dance-fight is likely an effect of their natural Foolamancy, though the change of raiment suggests their natural Dollamancy. Erf-b1.5-p046 Foolamancy could also explain the 3 archons' blasts as being the same Shockmancy spell despite their different appearances. An alternate explanation would be that they randomly had access to different combat spells.
The decrypted Archons put on a giant fireworks display. This could have been Shockmancy (a damage spell) or Foolamancy (a spell that looked like it could damage, but couldn't), or even a combination of both. Assuming it was both, a majority of the 28 Archons had at least one of the two; since there are four other possible specials and they are earned randomly, the average level of these archons would be 2 or 3. Unless they were hand picked for Shockmancy to be the best possible combat troops.
Speculative Abilities
Dollamancy: Creating cloth golems.
Real World References
Charlie's Archons are a reference to a television series Charlie's Angels featuring 3 young women working as private investigators for their boss, Charlie, whose face is never seen on screen. The first appearance of a trio of archonsErf-b1-p042 shows them in the iconic silhouette pose from that show's title card.[1]
The Archon Jaclyn is likely named after Jaclyn Smith, the actress who played the role of Kelly Garrett.
Archons are a race of heavenly outsiders analogous to angels seen in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. The term "Archon" replaced the term "Angel" used in the earliest versions of D&D: this choice was made in response to complaints that the game's depiction of angels was disrespectful toward religious belief. ("Demon" and "Devil" were also renamed to purely invented terms in response to complaints that the depiction of demons and devils encouraged occultism.) Recent versions of D&D have quietly restored the original terms as these issues became less heated.
Connecting the two Real World References leads to the following progression: "Charlie's Angels" becomes "Charlie's Archons" under the marketing decision of TSR.

I've been using one of these for about 6 years now and haven't broken it, despite being a horrible clumsy ape. It gets up to a decent pressure (100psi+) without having to put apply much pressure, much better than a hand only pump. The only thing missing is a pressure gauge.
Topeak Mini Morph splices the best features of a track and mini pump - you know, in one of those experiments involving matter transfer demonstrated by Seth Brundle (Jeff Goldblum's unfortunate scientist in David Cronenberg's visceral remake of the Fly).
I would love to say it was the first of the pint sized inflators to conjure a genuine 160psi from its small, yet perfectly formed body but alas, biceps screaming with lactic acid and after seven minutes' sustained effort, I conceded that 105psi is pretty much tops. On the plus side, it's a pretty unobtrusive housemate in most luggage and the external hose is a nice touch.
Measuring 26.4cm and weighing 180g, we're at the upper end of mini, cruising squarely into (more efficient) midi pump territory. That said; build quality and design are generally better than I've come to expect from compact pumps. It has a stout aluminium barrel but I'm not sold on the folding footpad, which quickly showed evidence of warping under load. An aluminium loop would have inspired more confidence and the bottle mount is at the expense of, rather than in conjunction with a cage.
Mercifully, Topeak offer a zip-tie alternative while the flexible rubberised hose and extended locking head are thoughtful. The latter not only incorporates Presta and Schrader but old-fashioned woods stems too -perfect when pooling tools for on tour weight and efficiency. I managed zero to 60 psi n approximately 500/600 strokes and five minutes. Perseverance and a further 350 strokes returned 105psi, which should be adequate in most contexts, although a decent midi pump costs but a few pounds and millimetres more, reaching comparable pressures with rather more ease.
Reasonably priced but doesn't achieve those higher pressures with the same efficiency as a midi pump.

Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
"The smallest Morph is still big on features.
Fills both fat and skinny tires with ease, fold out foot pad for hassle-free inflation." Broadly agree but a metal footpad might prove more reliable in the long-run and in practice I couldn't nudge past 105psi.

Looks promising, although I suspect the plastic foot-pad might prove a weak-spot in the long run.
180g by my scales.
Superior to most of the pint-sized breed given the folding T handle and similar detailing but in my experience there's always some trade-off between size and inflatory prowess.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
A host of thoughtful touches makes the Mini Morph pleasant and efficient to use - at least to moderate pressures, although I couldn't muster more than 105psi.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
Generally good build quality, flexible extended hose prevents valve damage.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product

NEW YORK (AP) — Univision can thank the Republicans for a milestone week in the television ratings.
Nielsen said the Spanish-language network topped prime-time ratings last week among viewers ages 18 to 49. It was only the fourth time in Univision's history that it achieved that feat and the first time it happened twice in the same year. It also happened in early July.
ABC, CBS and NBC each televised three hours of the Republican National Convention last week, and that was a turnoff to the young viewers prized by advertisers. Sixteen of Univision's one-hour telenovela episodes did better in the ratings among that demographic than any hour of convention coverage.
During the otherwise quiet week before Labor Day, NBC's "America's Got Talent" was the most-watched program.
CBS averaged 4.9 million viewers for the week in prime time (3.3 rating, 6 share). NBC was second with 3.9 million (2.6, 5), ABC had 3.9 million (2.6, 4), Fox had 3.4 million (2.1, 4), ION Television had 1.2 million (0.8, 1) and the CW had 740,000 (0.5, 1).
Among the Spanish language networks, Univision led with a 3.4 million average (1.8 rating, 3 share). Telemundo had 1.2 million (0.7, 1), TeleFutura had 550,000 (0.3, 1), Estrella had 160,000 and Azteca had 90,000 (both 0.1, 0).
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 7.9 million viewers (5.4, 11). ABC's "World News" was second with 7.2 million (4.9, 10) and the "CBS Evening News" had 6 million viewers (4.3, 8).
A ratings point represents 1,147,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 114.7 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
For the week of Aug. 27-Sept. 2, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "America's Got Talent" (Tuesday), NBC, 9.89 million; "NCIS," CBS, 8.38 million; "America's Got Talent" (Wednesday), NBC, 8.34 million; College Football: Michigan vs. Alabama, ABC, 7.92 million; "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 7.2 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 6.96 million; "Hell's Kitchen" (Monday), Fox, 6.87 million; "2 Broke Girls" (Monday, 9 p.m.), CBS, 6.63 million; "Master Chef" (Tuesday), Fox, 6.59 million; "The Big Bang Theory" (Monday, 8:30 p.m.), CBS, 6.51 million.
ABC is owned by The Walt Disney Co. CBS is owned by CBS Corp. CW is a joint venture of Warner Bros. Entertainment and CBS Corp. Fox and My Network TV are units of News Corp. NBC and Telemundo are owned by Comcast Corp. ION Television is owned by ION Media Networks. TeleFutura is a division of Univision. Azteca America is a wholly owned subsidiary of TV Azteca S.A. de C.V.
