The Senate added features to the bill to prevent abuse.

By contrast, after his Mysteronisation he is an almost stereotypical villain, taking pleasure in the acts of murder that he commits; in one episode, he leaves Captain Scarlet chained up next to a doomsday device, complete with digital countdown. However, on some occasions (for example, in the episode "Best of Enemies") Scarlet is able to educe Black's original personality, nearly to the point of breaking the Mysterons' conditioning. In "Dominion", the series finale, Black is knocked unconscious while attempting to destroy a nuclear facility. On recovering, he claims to have been liberated from Mysteron control, and asks Scarlet to return with him to Mars to launch an attack on the Mysteron city.

His recent work included forging the collaboration that resulted in the high resolution digital imaging of the Venetus A, a 10th-century manuscript of the Iliad located at the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, and also the NSF-funded EDUCE project for non-invasive, volumetric scanning technologies for virtually unwrapping and visualizing ancient papyrus scrolls.See NSF funding notice, naming project leaders. His work continues to be influential among scholars working in the field of open access and collaborative editing in Classics, with major projects citing his example and involvement in their inception and design.E.g.

It is essentially vital, even as all objects (as objects) are essentially fixed and dead.(Biographia Literaria) For Coleridge, poetry is idealistic and man needs to go beyond the projective forms of art, the belletristic arts, to another art form, this time where man as subject, draws out of nature, including human nature, the potential that is there in what we actually experience. For Romantic medicine, in particular, Andreas Röschlaub and Samuel Hahnemann, the art of remediation, to achieve a true health for the individual, was an evocative art, Heilkunde and Heilkunst, that sought, as in the ancient Greek idea of education, to educe, to elicit or draw out of the suffering individual what was potential (state of health) into actuality.

Cotton Mather described the rock in his book The Wonderful Works of God Commemorated: > Among the other Curiosities of New-England, one is that of a mighty Rock, on > a perpendicular side whereof by a River, which at High Tide covers part of > it, there are very deeply Engraved, no man alive knows How or When about > half a score Lines, near Ten Foot Long, and a foot and half broad, filled > with strange Characters: which would suggest as odd Thoughts about them that > were here before us, as there are odd Shapes in that Elaborate Monument. During the 19th century, many popular publications and public figures mentioned the rock. The satirist James Russell Lowell suggested that it should be mentioned by presidential candidates in letters to newspapers: "[I]f letters must be written, profitable use might be made of the Dighton rock hieroglyphic or the cuneiform script, every fresh decipherer of which is enabled to educe a different meaning."Lowell, James R. The Biglow Papers (VIII) London, Trubner (1861), via Project Gutenberg- accessed 2007-12-08 Lowell made other references to the rock in his widely circulated satirical writing, and may thus have helped to popularize it.
