"Dietary deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids in humans has been associated with increased risk of several mental disorders, including attention-deficit disorder, dyslexia, dementia, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia," he said. "A deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids in rodents results in impaired learning and memory."

For instance, in the past two weeks we have had discussion of obesity and of knife crime. Social norms have hardly figured. If everybody thinks that everybody else is getting fat, then more people will put on weight. The campaigns designed to reduce obesity may be spreading it. Similarly the very idea that every young person is carrying a knife increases knife crime. The obvious route of making such behaviour seem odd and isolated appears not to have occurred to any major politician.

Demand for a new investment bubble began months ago, when the subprime mortgage bubble burst and left the business world without a suitable source of pretend income. But as more and more time has passed with no substitute bubble forthcoming, investors have begun to fear that the worst-case scenario—an outcome known among economists as "real-world repercussions"—may be inevitable.

It's not hard to have system B check that system A is on/off line, and step in if the latter is the case. But what happens when A is *mostly* or *sorta* online? Does system B check that ALL functionality done by A is being done appropriately? Almost never. And that's why, even in the best, most carefully designed, fully redundant high-availability systems, you never, ever see 100% uptime. It's just not possible to anticipate everything that can go wrong. So design a system that fails gracefully! That's what nature did.

Well, my assessment is that there is indeed some content, much of it interesting. The question of bogosity, however, is a little more difficult. It is clear that the forms used by academicians writing in this area go right off the bogosity scale, pegging my bogometer until it breaks. The quality of the actual analysis of various literary works varies tremendously and must be judged on a case-by-case basis, but I find most of it highly questionable. Buried in the muck, however, are a set of important and interesting ideas: that in reading a work it is illuminating to consider the contrast between what is said and what is not said, between what is explicit and what is assumed, and that popular notions of truth and value depend to a disturbingly high degree on the reader's credulity and willingness to accept the text's own claims as to its validity.

Doody said this is only the first study looking into the effects of Dimebon on Alzheimer's disease. She also noted that it involved only a relatively small population from one specific region of the world. The ongoing Phase 3 study will include several international locations including the United States.

he performance of the countries of North Africa has been mixed, with insignificant rises by Algeria (123rd) and Tunisia (145th) and disturbing falls by Morocco (106th) and Egypt (146th) because of the large number of prosecutions brought against the press. Coverage of police abuses, use of torture during interrogation and the lack of judicial independence stang the Egyptian authorities into tightening the vice on independent journalists. Despite all the harassment, the independent media have openly displayed their lack of enthusiasm for the possibility that Gamal Mubarak could succeed his father as president. Although better off than their Egyptian colleagues, Morocco’s journalists have in the past 12 months been the target of repeated attacks for which they were not prepared.

Equally important, HIV does not want this constant region to provoke the body’s defense system. So, HIV uses the same constant cellular attachment site to silence B lymphocytes - the antibody producing cells. The result is that the body is fooled into making abundant antibodies to the changeable regions of HIV but not to its cellular attachment site. Immunologists call such regions superantigens. HIV’s cleverness is unmatched. No other virus uses this trick to evade the body’s defenses.”

At this point, channeling Kim Cameron, I launched into an explanation of the laws of identity and the identity metasystem. Well, sort of. I didn’t say anything about cryptography, or digital certificates, or XML web services. But I did paint a picture of a world in which individuals interact with many identity providers and many relying parties, in which all actors trust one another in exactly the ways they already do today, and in which disclosure of personal information is minimal and context-dependent.

Summary: A lot of the formatting, such as tab stops cannot be done from the normal stylesheet editor. The settings you set there will be overridden. Use the context menu item edit index/table instead. The menu item is available when you right click directly at the table of contents in your document:

See below for a guide of how to use it in Open Office.

I'ven been trying to get my table of contents to look good, and previously failed. The table of contents of my document has style sheets, called "Contents 1" and "Contents 2". However changes I make there, particularly tab stops, seem to be ignored.

It turns out that there is another place to change the formatting of the table of contents and that is in the edit index/table context menu:

.

Once selected you get to a tabbed dialog where one of the the tabs shows the following:

It contains a rather weird widget that helps you format the table of contents entry for a particular level. It is a row of cells where every second cell allows for inserting verbatim text, and every second is a place holder for entry text, page number or a tab stop.:

You can only have a page number place holder once ("#"), and the same goes for entry text ("F"). You assign a placeholder to a cell by clicking at the cell so that it looks depressed, and then click at one of the below buttons:

In the above picture two of the buttons are greyed out, beacuse theses placeholders have already been assigned to cells in the row. To get the buttons back to the active state, select the cell that contains the page number or entry ("#" or "F"), and replace it with a tab entry instead by clicking at the tab button.

For each tab entry you make, you can format it by selecting its cell, and then format its position and other things:

For each text entry or page number, you can format it with a character style sheet:

In the above screenshot I have made a BigNumber character style sheet for the page number, that together with other settings makes my table of contents look like this:

Sometimes when updating the table of contents, OpenOffice.org will lose the formatting and you will need to reapply the formatting.
