Update: 28 July 2004

NOAA-12 Status and restoration plans

Satellite(s) Involved:
    NOAA-12

Instrument(s) Involved:
    AVHRR,SEM

Product(s) Involved/Affected:
All Products using NOAA-12 AVHRR, and SEM instruments

Date/Time(UTC) of Initial Implementation:
    Mid afternoon 28 July 2004

Details/Specifics of Change:

NOAA-12 is still be monitored with no reoccurrence of problems or other anomalies since the 
problem began.   Analysis of the data shows the loads being levied currently on the power system 
are being maintained and voltages and currents are more than adequate to operate the satellite.

At approximately 4 pm (EST) today the solar array bias will be moved from -60 to -50 degrees.  
If all goes as expected, recovery operations should begin mid afternoon on 28 July (Wed) to turn 
the AVHRR back on line.  The satellite will enter a period of analysis following the AVHRR turn on 
and if all indications from telemetry are nominal, the SEM will be place back on line 29 July.

Completion of all payload turn on operations should be accomplished on 29 July.

                          Meeting   Abstract
                                    
  
  
  Research is presented which has not actually been done yet.  Graphs are shown depicting
  correlations we don't know exist yet, and whose existence should really not be postulated
  before-hand for fear of biasing the statistics.  Unexpected results are presented which 
  dramatically confirm the expected correlations that might exist on the presented graphs. 
  Several prominent researchers are referred to by their first names proving the authors
  really know what they are doing.  Papers supporting the presented research are discussed
  with lavish praise, while those disputing the work are not mentioned due to the severe
  time limitation. The presenting authors will get so caught up in what is being said that
  they may actually start to believe in it, and also believe that the audience's interest
  demands that the talk run longer than the appointed time limit.  Audience members will
  then clap regardless of whether or not they understood the talk, or could pronounce its
  title.  The researchers will then add a citation of the talk to their resumes and reflect on
  the increased possibility of having their grant applications accepted.

     F. E. Marshall, GSFC; T. Takeshima, and S. D. Barthelmy, USRA
and GSFC; C. R. Robinson, USRA and MSFC; and K. Hurley, University
of California at Berkeley, report the detection of an x-ray
afterglow for the gamma-ray burst detected with BATSE on June
16.7568 UT.  Scanning observations with the Proportional Counter
Array on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) 4.0 hr after the
burst revealed a source at R.A. = 1h18m.9 +/- 0m.7 (90-percent
statistical confidence), Decl. = -5 30' +/- 18' (equinox 2000.0)
with a countrate of 4.5 +/- 1.6 counts/s or 1.1 x 10E-11 erg sE-1
cmE-2 in the band 2-10 keV.  It is the brightest source detected
within the 2-deg BATSE error circle, and it also overlaps the
preliminary inter-planetary network (IPN) annulus determined from
the time difference in the BATSE and Ulysses detections.  The IPN
annulus has a radius of 49.808 deg, is centered at R.A. =
22h10m30s, Decl. = -27o24'.8, and has a full width of 4'.6.  An
annulus with a smaller width will be available after further
processing.  The intersection of the error regions has corners at
1h19m.6, -5 49'; 1h19m.6, -5 40'; 1h18m.4, -5 12'; 1h18m.2, -5 16'.
A subsequent RXTE observation on June 18.08 detected no significant
flux from this position, with a preliminary 90-percent confidence
upper limit of 2.5 counts/s.

To whom it may concern:
    As an individual investor, who buys and sells equities both through a broker
and online, I would like to take issue with the argument presented in the public
statements made by The Securities Industry Association on April 6, 2000.  It is 
perhaps best summed up for me by the following sentence.
    "But it is also the few analysts operating independently of, and in
competition with, each other that can relentlessly pursue an independent line of
inquiry and ferret out negative information that management would rather not 
disclose or would prefer to disclose at a time of its choosing and with its own 
spin."
     I fail to see the truth of this statement. If all company information were
made public, complete with it all of its "spin" and suddenly devoid of the 
"mystique" which currently surrounds it, analysts would not lose their ability 
to analyze, or to ferret out those bits and pieces of information which the 
company chooses to try and hide. Competition would, in fact, increase, as would 
the need to produce accurate and careful reports, if, for no other reason than 
the public would share the vast amounts of information that must be, if I am to 
infer anything from the above paragraph, currently available only to analysts.
   Further, the vast majority of individual investors are hungry for knowledge
about the companies that they buy and sell.  Much of what exists in the way of 
information now are opinions, however educated, by professional analysts, that 
we, as individuals, can only analyze on a purely speculative basis or take on 
blind faith.  The dissemination of the information that analysts use to form 
their opinions would allow all interested investors to form opinions, based on 
equal information, and to discuss and analyze more thoroughly the various 
aspects of the information without the rampant quesswork that exists now.  I, 
for one, would place more value on an analyst's opinion in such an environment.
   Sincerely,
   Bob Anderson

Title: Atlas Mountain Range, Mali, Africa

Description:

ATLAS pallets are backdropped against the Atlas Mountains (31.0N, 1.0W).  
ATLAS is an acronym for ATmospheric Laboratory for Applications and
Science.   Taken from a point over Mali, in the western Sahara, the
northwest looking  view shows dunes in the Iguidi dune sea and colors
characteristic of the  Saharan side of the Atlas Mountains.  The edge of a
large sandstorm, that  transported sand and dust to Yugoslavia and beyond,
can also be seen.

Physics Steps towards Muon Physics Results - MJL - 1/26/02
==========================================================

* Make analysis plan for J/Psi and single-muons in p-p and Au-Au
  - number events, cpu time, disk space for DST's and uDst's
  - expected yields of signals and their kinematic distributions
    (e.g. vrs centrality, pT, cos(theta-decay-cs), etc.)
  - manpower allocations and who is working on what including thesis
    topics of all students

* Analyze all p-p and Au-Au data to DST's (micro-DST's)
* remove bad runs, separate zero-field, HV off, etc.
* check symmetry for unpolarized distributions and compare with simulations
  (important especially for decay angular distributions)
* get data resident on disk in compact (micro-DST) format
* determine resolutions in physics variables (ie. so that when binning
  in these you know what your bin resolution is)
* get important information form rest of PHENIX, e.g. centrality

* calculate p-p J/Psi cross section from data and check min-bias Au-Au
  cross section
* bin J/Psi's in 2 or so bins in centrality, pT, cos(theta-decay-cs),
  rapidity
* compare to J/Psi -> e+e- results
* make PR pictures of J/Psi events

* do realistic track embedding study to get centrality, pT etc dependence
  of acceptance*efficiency
* study stability of J/Psi cross sections (yield/MC) versus important cuts
* evaluate tracking efficiency separately from muID by turning off muID seeding
  of tracker
* study efficiency versus occupancy (similar to centrality dependence but different?)

* extract single-muon pT spectra for p-p and Au-Au
* study dependence on decay-length (i.e. on vertex near or far from South arm)
* study vertex distribution versus pT
* simulation of pion decay backgrounds and comparison with data
* also K, J/Psi, DY, etc. backgrounds
* Pythia simulations of charm and beauty (using Akiba parameters from 130 GeV
  single-e paper?)
* iteration/unfolding of single-muon spectra above backgroup to get D spectra
* D-Dbar cross section and comparison with other measurements including our own
  electron measurements
* systematic uncertainties

* look also at phi and Upsilon mass regions

Subject: Released: XT Libsci 10.2.1, May 08, 2008

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
====================

     Release
     Date     Product/Version
     ======== ===============
     05/08/08 xt-libsci 10.2.1

Is now available for download from CRInform at:

   http://wwwcst.mw.cray.com/cgi-bin/crinform/cringate/order_software

Purpose:
========

The xt-libsci 10.2.1 release contains new versions of the scientific 
libraries for quad-core single thread and quad-core multi-thread.

By default, "module load xt-libsci" results in linking with the 
single-core version of the libsci. 

To use the quad-core single thread library the user must 
"module load xtpe-quadcore". *See "Dependencies" below.

This results in these environment variables being set:
   XTPE_QUADCORE_ENABLED        ON
   LIBSCI_PRE_LINK_OPTS         -lsci_quadcore  -lsci_quadcore
   PGI_POST_COMPILE_OPTS        -tp barcelona-64 -tp barcelona-64
   PATHSCALE_POST_COMPILE_OPTS  -march=barcelona -march=barcelona
   GNU_POST_COMPILE_OPTS        -march=barcelona -march=barcelona
   LLVM_AMD_10H                 1

For Quad-core multi-thread, the users must explicitly use 
the "-lsci_mp" compiler option to point to the correct library.

Dependencies:
=============

Use of the quad-core libraries in this package requires the xtpe-quadcore
module which is released in the xt-asyncpe 1.0 (or later) package.
xt-asyncpe
is downloadable from CRInform at:

OF I-65 ACROSS THE INLAND AREAS. A LOT OF DRAINAGE SYSTEMS STILL HAVE
DEBRIS IN THEM FROM IVAN AND AREAS THAT WOULD NORMALLY DRAIN WELL MAY
HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE HEAVY RAIN.  IF YOU LIVE NEAR AREAS THAT DO
NOT DRAIN WELL...YOU MAY WANT TO MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND UNTIL THE
HEAVY RAINS FROM ARLENE MOVE OUT OF THE AREA.

REMEMBER...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLOODING OF SMALL
STREAMS...CREEKS AND OTHER DRAINAGE AREAS IS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE
WATCH AREA. PEOPLE IN THE WATCH AREA SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THE
WEATHER AND BE PREPARED FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION SHOULD HEAVY RAINS AND
FLOODING OCCUR OR A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.

MOST FLASH FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES ATTEMPTING TO CROSS
FLOODED AREAS. RAPIDLY RISING WATER CAN EASILY CARRY A VEHICLE AND
ITS OCCUPANTS DOWN STREAM. BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS
HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE DANGERS OF FLOODING. REMEMBER TO TURN
AROUND...DON'T DROWN.

Dear Harold:

I am sending you the draft of a virus characterization prepared for the
International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses. The data, compiled by
the RNA Tumor Virus Study Group of the ICTV, pertain to enveloped RNA
viruses of vertebrates which replicate through a DNA provirus.
sheets follow standard ICTV format. As chairman of the RNA Tumor Virus
Study Group within the ICTV, I would appreciate receiving your conments
and criticisms on this document before I submit it to the Vertebrate Virus
Subcomnittee of the ICTV in April.  I would be particularly interested
in your reaction to the proposed nomenclature and taxonomic structure.
My feeling is that a majority of workers in the field are in favor of the
term retravirus as a family name including not only RNA tumor viruses but
also foamy agents and slow viruses like visna.  There also seems to be
some sentiment in favor of oncornavirus to designate the genera of RNA
tumor viruses.
like these names -- oncorna also violates the ICTV rule that names made
up of abbreviations may not be used -- and now is the last chance to make
a better and perhaps a successful counterproposal. The ICTV will meet
on the occasion of the International Congress of Virology in Madrid,
September 9 - 17, 1975 and will vote on proposals of virus nomenclature
and taxonomy.  There will also be an open session on this subject orga-
nized by the ICTV in Madrid.

P.S. Harold, I would be very grateful for your reaction to nomenclature
    and virus terms. Do you think retraviruses and oncornaviruses are
    now unavoidable? Is the proposed taxonomic status of RNA tumor
   viruses (that of genus) sufficient or should it be a family? Have
    I omitted any important data on B-type viruses?

Subject: CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES AND SUPERCLUSTERS                      
  Title: ASCA OBSERVATIONS OF THE NEARBY X-RAY BRIGHT GALAXY CLUSTER AROUND 3C129.1      
Abstract:
 The galaxy cluster around the compact radio galaxy 3C129.1 is the ninth-brightest
 cluster in the sky in the 2-10 keV band. Because of its low Galactic latitude it has
 been little studied at optical or X-ray wavelengths. In fact it is the only cluster
 of the brightest thirty that has yet to be observed with ASCA. Previous X-ray
 imaging observations of the 3C129.1 cluster did not allow the amount of cooling in
 the intra-cluster medium to be determined with satisfactory precision. Thanks to the
 cluster's X-ray brightness the ASCA observation proposed here will provide spectra
 of exceptional quality which will enable us to search spectrally for cooling
 components. The proposed observation will also allow us to measure the X-ray flux from the well-known twin-tailed radio source 3C129.

MEMORANDUM # 69
TO: AGENCIES ADMINISTERING STATUTES REFERRED TO IN 29 CFR, SUB-
TITLE A, PART 5
FROM: E. Irvin Manger
Associate Administrator
RE: Physical Inclusion of Contract Labor Standards Stipulations
in Subcontracts
This supersedes our May 13, 1958 memorandum to agencies administering
statutes referred to in 29 CFR, Subtitle A, Part 5.
In the processing of labor standards enforcement cases, it has come
to our attention that in many instances, the contract provisions
specified in Section 5.5(a)(6) of Regulations, Part 5 (29 CFR, Sub-
title A), are not being physically included in all subcontracts as
required by the Regulations. The failure to include the labor stan-
dards provisions in subcontracts has resulted in serious and costly
violations on the part of many subcontractors. Further, the Comptroller
General has recently ruled that it is not proper to impose sanctions
against a subcontractor in those cases where the subcontractor is not
fully informed of his obligations to his employees by having the labor
standards provisions incorporated in his subcontract.
Accordingly, we wish to remind all Contracting Agencies that Section
5.5(s)(6) requires the contract stipulations cited therein to be
physically included in all subcontracts. All agencies are requested
to take appropriate measures to assure strict compliance with this
requirement oh the part of their contract administration personnel.
In this connection, it is earnestly suggested that the contractual
requirement be explained in detail during preconstruction conferences
and in preconstruction letters issued to prospective contractors.
Incorporation by reference does not constitute compliance with the
Regulations. However, contractors who subcontract by means of pur-
chase orders or other informal type contract forms will be considered
in compliance with Section 5.5(a)(6) provided they attach copies of
the appropriate labor standards clauses to the subcontract form and



















- 2 -
provided also that the subcontractor acknowledges receipt of the labor
standards clauses in writing to the contractor awarding the subcontract.
In our opinion, the failure of the prime contractor or a subcontractor
to incorporate the labor standards provisions in its subcontracts may,
under certain circumstances, be a serious violation of the contract.
requirements which would warrant the imposition of sanctions under
either the Davis-Bacon Act or our Regulations.
Therefore, in those cases where a subcontractor is in violation of the
labor standards, the investigation report should include a copy of the
subcontract agreement. In those instances where the 18bor standards
provisions are not incorporated in the subcontract, the investigation
should develop the reasons for such emission. Careful consideration
should be given to the reasons for failing to include the labor stan-
dards provisions in the subcontract and your report should include a
recommendation as to whether such omission warrants the imposition of
sanctions against the contractor.
Hi Alan,

For FPS, the summary of current activities and status is as follows:

* Some confirmation tests on fps mapping studies done before shutdown
  -- here tests done with LEDs by pulsing LEDs from the control room and
  visual inspection of both FPS (north and south) detectors in the gaps to
  verify the current "as-is" map.  This was needed before any work on
  waveguides were to be done.

* Swapped, at the VLPC cassette-end, 9 waveguides to fix mapping issues
  observed in fps_examine, fps_unpdata/reco.  Note, connectors off one FPS
  wedge were also unhooked just to verify that 9 waveguide swap at
  cassette-end can take place.  It appeared that the "incorrect" map can
  be fixed at the cassette-end (and thus avoid fixing at the
  detector-end), and hence, the 9 swaps at the vlpc_end.

* Crimping of LED electrical connectors on cables continued at the
  platform.  At the moment, ~90% of this job is finished and expected to
  be complete in the next few days.

* Hookup of all LED cables at the pulser-end located on the platform is
  scheduled for next week.  At that point, all LEDs for FPS should be
  operational.

* Also, one FPS VLPC cassette (cassette_slot 102) was moved over one
  slot -- in order to fix temp. issues with that cassette slot described
  at previous meetings. 

* Next week: when VLPCs become cold again, some PDAQ studies with the FPS
  LED pulsers will be done to verify all waveguide and LED hookups are
  in-place before end-of-shutdown.  

That should be most of the FPS activities during the shutdown.  If there
are any questions, comments please let me know.

....

When running our tests after making this change (and removing the
"unnecessary MPI_Errhandler_free calls"), I found the following problem:

Say that the user wants to temporarily replace the error handler on a
communicator.  They try the following

    MPI_Errhandler_get( comm, &oldhand );
    MPI_Errhandler_set( comm, myhand );
    ... users code
    MPI_Errhandler_set( comm,  oldhand );

Now, assume that the comm had its error handler set with this code:

     MPI_Errhander_create( errfunc, &errhand );
     MPI_Errhandler_set( comm, errhand );
     MPI_Errhandler_free( &errhand );

This part of the code has taking advantage of the "reference count
semantics" to ensure that when the communicator is freed, the error handler
will also be freed.  But the code that the user is using to "temporarily"
replace the error handler also removes the error handler from the
communicator, forcing the MPI implementation to free it (it isn't in use an
more).

...

****
I vote for (b): code above is erroneous. Let's simplify above example:

MPI_Errhandler_create(,... &errhandler);
myhandler = errhandler;
MPI_Errhandler_free( &errhandler);

Clearly, we expect that myhandler will contain now a dangling reference -- any
further use of myhandler is erroneous.

Now we have

MPI_Errhandler_create(..., &errhandler);
MPI_Errhandler_set( comm, myhandler);
MPI_Errhandler_get( comm, &myhandler);
MPI_Errhandler_set(comm, otherhandler);
MPI_Errhandler_free( &errhandler);

I dont' see why the fact that the direct assignment to myhandler was replaced by
a "set", followed by a "get" should make any difference: When the call to
Errhandler_free occurred, the error handler was not attached to any object.
Therefore, the error handler can be deleted as soon as the Errhandler_free call
occurred and any subsequent use of errhandler is erroneous. An interpretation
saying that the "free" cannot take course until all communicators the error
handler was ever attached to are freed sounds strange to me.

The example you gave has the "free" even earlier. It basically is

MPI_Errhandler_create(..., &errhandler);
MPI_Errhandler_set( comm, myhandler);
MPI_Errhandler_free( &errhandler);
MPI_Errhandler_get( comm, &myhandler);
MPI_Errhandler_set( comm, otherhandler));

Mover the Errhandler_free call earlier cannot improve things -- cannot increase
the lifetime of the error handler. Any subsequent use of myhandler is erroneous.

If an errorhandler is not continuously attached to a communicator -- so that it
exists, at times, "unattached" to the communicator, then the error handler
object should not be freed up front.  The warning is that once the errorhandler
object is freed, it may be deleted as soon as it is not attached anymore to any
object.

{description}   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. These two bolt catchers are ready for
                installation on orbiter Discoverys External Tank. A bolt catcher
                is a vertical bolt mechanism at the forward end of the External
                Tank that attaches each booster to the tank. At approximately two
                minutes into launch, SRB separation begins when pyrotechnic
                devices fire to break the 25-inch, 62-pound steel bolts. One half
                of the bolt is caught in canister-like "bolt catchers" located on
                the tank; the other half remains with the boosters. Discovery is
                flying with a modified bolt catcher, which was upgraded from a
                two-piece welded design to a one-piece, machine-made design as
                part of NASA's effort to return to safe, reliable spaceflight.
                Eliminating the weld makes a structurally stronger bolt catcher
                design. Though the bolt catcher is mounted on the External Tank,
                it is considered part of the Solid Rocket Booster element design.
                It is built by Summa Technologies, Inc. in Huntsville, Ala.,
                insulated at Lockheed Martins Michoud Assembly Facility in New
                Orleans, and installed on the External Tank at KSC.

RELEASE:  99-80

NASA ADMINISTRATOR DANIEL S. GOLDIN'S
STATEMENT ON THE DEATH OF CHARLES "PETE" CONRAD

     The whole NASA family was extremely sad to learn of Pete
Conrad's death Thursday.  America has lost one of the great
aviators and explorers of the 20th century.  When we mark the 30th
anniversary of the first lunar landing on July 20, we will
remember that Pete laid part of the foundation for the program
with the rendezvous and docking maneuvers he conducted on Gemini V
and XI.

     He embodied the "can-do" spirit of NASA, taking on problems
and dealing with them without a lot of fuss.  His steady hand saw
Apollo 12 through a frightening lightning strike during launch,
and on Skylab 2 he led a spacewalk that spread a thermal blanket
over a damaged section of the spacecraft and saved the program.

     Pete Conrad even laid the groundwork for work that we are
continuing to do in the International Space Station program.  Both
Gemini 5 and Skylab 2 set endurance records for their times, and
we will build on his and other astronauts' efforts when the first
ISS crew launches next year.

     Over the last few years, he continued pioneering as an
entrepreneur.  As president of Universal Space Lines, he sought to

never lost interest in space travel, even after he left NASA.  We

Helping America's Farmers and Ranchers

            Radio Address of Secretary Dan Glickman
             Helping America's Farmers and Ranchers
                       September 21, 1998

     In a recent meeting with farmers, President Clinton called the farm
crisis 'a horrible affront to everything we've worked so hard to achieve to
lift the economy for all Americans.' 

     I am pleased that Congressional leaders now recognize the need to address
the hardship out in farm country. President Clinton and I have urged the
Senate to promptly pass the Daschle-Harkin proposal to provide $1.5 billion in
disaster aid to farmers, and lift the cap on marketing loans -- giving farmers
a $4-billion cushion against the extreme drop in prices. 

     The majority in Congress has a different approach. But at the end of the
day, I think Congress and the President will work together to get emergency
relief to farmers before Congress adjourns. 

     President Clinton and I also would like to see stronger Congressional
support for this Administration's International Monetary Fund proposal. It's
hard to increase U.S. exports, when other countries can't afford to buy them.
A strong U.S. economy depends on a strong world economy. And, a strong world
economy depends on strong, timely support from the IMF. 

     In the long run, USDA is tailoring crop insurance to today's needs. We've
increased the coverage farmers can get in places like the Northern Plains that
faced year after year of disasters. We also developed a new pilot program that
chucks crop-by-crop insurance, and covers the whole farm -- no matter if you
grow corn or cranberries, soybeans or celery. This program simply guarantees a
percentage of gross farm revenue. If this experiment succeeds, we will be
closer to the day when we can cover all crops.

     USDA's made other notable changes: We now allow loan deficiency payments
on high-moisture corn, silage and corn with aflatoxin. I've also proposed a
dramatic reduction in red tape in our guaranteed lending program, so farmers
don't have to wade through so much paperwork. 

     We have a busy agenda underway in Washington today. But if we put
ideology aside and stitch a sturdy farm safety net, I believe our work can
lead to a strong, secure new day on the farm.

                              Re:  Made in the USA

To Whom It May Concern,

     I approach this subject with extremely deep feelings and emotions.  The globalists and
internationalists certainly have ignored what is good for the United States.
     Allowing for instance Honda or Toyota or whomever to lay claim to an American made
label is simply ludicrous.  Buying parts etc. for another Japanese owned company operating in the
U.S. skirts the issue.
     Perhaps all consumer goods should be required to bear the flag - highly visible - of the
country of the owners or of origin.
     The transplants of consumer products try to cloak themselves in the mantle of American
values and culture.  If our consumers are so bent on spending their money with nations that have
used and abused us and it is not just Japan, then they should not object to having more than a VIN
or other mark that will identify their car, TV, computer, garment, etc.  Current labeling is a joke.
     Consumers have little loyalty or patriotic feeling when they spend their money. 
Appropriate labeling may cause them to think more appropriately and correctly about what they
are doing.
     I do not want to live in a country who's claim in the year 2000+ is that we make the best
pizzas in the world.
     We are the world's biggest consumer.  Lets try to return to be the world's leaders in real
job formation.
     Maybe people will stop and think if they see the Korean, German, Japanese, French, etc.
flag on what they are going to buy not some obscure label about "domestically produced materials
assembled in ??? by ???"
