	What is Condor? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Should Condor detect that a machine is no longer available (such as a key press detected), in many circumstances Condor is able to transparently produce a checkpoint and migrate a job to a different machine which would otherwise be idle.
		Condor does not require a shared file system across machines - if no shared file system is available, Condor can transfer the job's data files on behalf of the user, or Condor may be able to transparently redirect all the job's I/O requests back to the submit machine.
		Condor is the product of the Condor Research Project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison), and it was first installed as a production system in the UW-Madison Department of Computer Sciences nearly 15 years ago.

	Condor - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		The condor is a native of South America, where it is confined to the region of the Andes, from the Straits of Magellan to 4° north latitude, - the largest examples, it is said, being found about the volcano of Cayambi, situated on the equator.
		By preference the condor feeds on carrion, but it does not hesitate to attack sheep, goats and deer, and for this reason it is hunted down by the shepherds, who, it is said, train their dogs to look up and bark at the condors as they fly overhead.
		Although the favourite haunts of the condor are at the level of perpetual snow, yet it rises to a much greater height, Humboldt having observed it flying over Chimborazo at a height of over 23,000 ft. On wing the movements of the condor, as it wheels in majestic circles, are remarkably graceful.

		Both condors have fl body feathers and a large white area in the wing, on the upper side in the Andean condor and on the underside in the California condor.
		The naked head of the Andean condor is dull red, and the males have a large fleshy comb on the forehead.
		The Andean condor is found along the Andes mountain chain from Venezuela to the Strait of Magellan, sometimes descending to feed on eggs in seabird colonies along the Pacific.

	Condor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Condor is the name for the largest species of New World vultures.
		The adult plumage is of a uniform fl, with the exception of a frill of white feathers nearly surrounding the base of the neck and, especially in the male, large patches or bands of white on the wings which do not appear until the completion of the first moulting.
		On the wing the movements of the condor, as it wheels in majestic circles, are remarkably graceful.

	California Condor
		Condors, the largest flying birds in North America, are monogamous and pair for life.
		California condors are capable of reaching up to 60 years of age in the wild.
		By about 1900, the condor population plummeted and was limited to southern California, due to many factors including loss of habitat, a low reproductive rate, poisoning, and shooting.

	Condor Summary
		Condors are the national bird of Bolivia, Colombia, Chile and Peru and play important roles in the folklore and mythology of South America, similar to the role the Bald Eagle plays in North America.
		Significant damage to the condor population is attributed to hunting, lead poisoning (from eating animals containing lead shot), DDT poisoning, and habitat destruction.
		Condors were released in 1991 and 1992 in California, and again in 1996 in Arizona near the Utah border.

	Species Monitoring - California Condor
		The magnificent California Condor, among the rarest and most imperiled birds in the world, was famously rescued from the brink of extinction in the late 1900s.
		Indeed, most of the advocacy on behalf of the condor is done by the various non-Audubon conservation groups and facilities who are directly involved in its preservation.
		Sadly, soon after the article appeared, one of the last condors born in the wild, AC-8, was shot and killed on Tejon Ranch, which again brought to light the ongoing need for public awareness of condors.

	Audubon WatchList - California Condor
		California Condors in the wild are apparently monogamous, and will stay with their breeding partner for years, if not for life.
		Condors feeding on animals wounded by hunters ingest these lead bullets and are subsequently poisoned.
		Despite efforts to prevent condor chicks from imprinting on their human handlers (involving now famous condorlike puppets), the first groups of birds released in California were attracted to humans and human-made structures.

	An eagle-eye view of the Condor project
		Condor is an open source tool that can manage a cluster of dedicated compute nodes and effectively harness otherwise wasted cycles from idle desktop workstations.
		Condor addresses both of these problem areas by providing a single tool that can manage a cluster of dedicated compute nodes and effectively harness otherwise wasted cycles from idle desktop workstations.
		Condor is able to effectively harness the power of nondedicated resources by using unique features such as check-pointing, job migration, remote system calls, and ClassAds.

	Crimes Of War Project > Expert Analysis
		Condor was a covert intelligence and operations system that enabled the Latin American military states to hunt down, seize, and execute political opponents across borders.
		Condor assassinations in Buenos Aires were carried out against General Carlos Prats, former Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean army; nationalist ex-president of Bolivia Juan Jose Torres; two Uruguayan legislators known for their opposition to the Uruguayan military regime, Zelmar Michelini and Hector Gutierrez Ruiz.
		In 1978, for example, the CIA wrote that by July 1976 "the Agency was receiving reports that Condor planned to engage in `executive action' outside the territory of member countries." In fact, the documentary evidence shows that the CIA was fully aware of such capabilities and operations years earlier.

		Condor is a software system that creates a High-Throughput Computing (HTC) environment by effectively harnessing the power of a cluster of workstations on a network.
		Although Condor can manage a dedicated cluster of workstations, a key appeal of Condor is its ability to effectively harness non-dedicated, preexisting resources in a distributed ownership setting such as machines sitting on people's desks in offices and labs.
		Condor responds giving the number of jobs and which workstation they were submitted to.

	Wills Wing, Inc. - condor Information Page
		The idea behind the Condor is simple - a student's first attempts to solo launch a hang glider are easiest, and least intimidating if they occur on a small, shallow slope, at a very low groundspeed.
		Most instructors report that the 330 Condor is "blown out" in winds of more than eight mph, due to the difficulty in ground handling such a large area glider in any significant wind.
		Neither the Condor 330 or the Condor 225 is HGMA certified or certifiable, and neither is intended for utility class operation.
