... since most characters are superhero types anyway it would
seem a good idea to let one of the characters who morph into a
superhero/ine be a handicapped child... for some of them this is
their dream... on the other hand, i can see some problems
cropping up with sterotyping, and with children continuing to
lack understanding about what a "handicap" is .... far better are
the afterschool special type shows that show the "real" life of a
handicapped child, i feel these promote better feelings, and
understanding than other kids programming.

------------------------------------------------------------
Saving a nasant VoIP structure from the innevitable pressure of a cash-strapped state sponsored innitiative should weigh heavy on all aspects of preemptive regulation. If the objectors of email could have rallied an assault against it with the same vigor which seems to be attacking VoIP then we would not enjoy such commonplace activities of email. One might assume that broadband capable entities will extract fees and negotiate data transmission for their private infrastructures. Media that engulf nationwide structures already recieve taxation by state regulators and it appears that these states wish to increase revenues on the back of an emerging technology. One could argue that any new technology that generates new sources of revenue are automatically characterized as a "value added service" and as such require new forfitures of taxation.
  The FCC may have to act with the same structure as the World Wide Web Consortium did to propose standards and not act as a heavy handed regulatory body. Yet, with such high profile telecommunications companies competing for market share it is highly probable that the demise of VoIP would be in their best interest. This would be so regardless of the infinite benifits yet to be realized by VoIP and similar emerging technologies.

Laboratory Evaluation of Method 0050 for Hydrogen Chloride

ABSTRACT
     The EPA reference method used for collecting hydrogen chloride
and chlorine in stack gas emissions is SW-846 Method 0050.  In
Method 0050 gaseous and particulate pollutants are withdrawn from
the stack at a rate proportional to the flow rate of the gas
emissions through the stack and are collected in a cyclone, on a
filter, and in absorbing solutions.
     Laboratory experiments were conducted to examine three issues
concerning Method 0050; how do you handle the wet hydrogen chloride
collected in the cyclone?; can this method be used to collect very
low concentrations of hydrogen chloride?; can the presence of
ammonium chloride in the stack emissions cause the method to have
a positive or negative error?
     As the method requires, the cyclone is purged at the end of
sampling with clean ambient air.  These studies showed that this
was an effective way to transfer the residual hydrogen chloride
from the cyclone to the impingers as long as no more than 25 ml of
liquid was collected in the cyclone.  Otherwise, the cyclone
solution must be returned to the laboratory where further
procedures must be used,.
     At very low concentrations hydrogen chloride appears to be
lost in the sampling equipment before being collected in the
absorbing solutions and the loss appears to increase as the
moisture content of the stack emissions increase.
     The presence of ammonium chloride introduces a positive error
under all condtions tested.

     How dare you.  How dare you feed me something that I don't even know 
what I'm eating.  I thought all ingredients had to be put on labels.  You are 
harkening us back to the days of Upton Sinclair and the days of big trusts in 
the 1890's.  You know, "Let the Buyer Beware".  Now you have let these 
maniacs from big chemical companies pollute my food supply without even 
requiring them to tell us.  If they put out GE foods you will only slap their 
wrists or maybe just say "naughty boys, don't do it again or I'll, 
I'll....I'll say, don't do it again".   
      I want to know what's in my food and what it is made up of.  GE food 
is NOT natural.  It is not organic.  It is not safe.  It is a potential large 
scale human disaster/famine waiting to happen.  And you can share the blame 
for much of what will be your legacy when GE foods contaminate real food 
throughout the world.  Contaminate the real food by "floating" their pollens 
to nearby natural foods fields.  Take GE out of the market.  At least make it 
absolutely imperative that any GE ingredients are clearly and Boldly marked 
on labels.  I don't want to eat them.  I don't want to be a guinea pig.  I 
don't want to be sick.  You can have that GE food.  I don't want it, my 
family doesn't want it, my neighbors, friends and the vast majority of the 
world doesn't want it.  Get rid of GE foods.

Guadalupe, is partly formed by the island of
Matagorda, which is ninety-six miles long and
only ten wide. The bay of Galveston, into
which flow the San Jacinto and the Trinity
River, extends about thirty-five miles inland
from the Gulf of Mexico in a direction nearly
north. Ships drawing twelve feet of water
can find easy anchorage in it The coast-line
is rounded off by the bay of the Sabine, so
closed that it is almost like a huge lake, into
which flows the river of that name.
The island of Galveston, formerly San Luis,
which extends across the entrance of this bay,
is nothing but a sand-bank accumulated by the
strong tides. It is forty miles long and foui
wide, and rises only twelve yards above the
level of the sea. Its surface is covered with tall,
rank grass, a few mimosas and cactuses, and
some marine plants. On this sand-bank the new
city of Galveston has lately been built ; it is
an Episcopal See, and the most important
seaport town in the State.
The climate of Texas is delightful. The
region of the plains is the hottest ; the temper-
ature is about the same as in Louisiana, but
infinitely healthier.    The sea-breezes cool the

Observe that in this case Mary exacted no service! Usually the
legends are told, as in this instance, by priests, though they were told in
the same spirit by laymen, as you can see in the poems of Rutebeuf,
and they would not have been told very differently by soldiers, if one
may judge from Joinville; but commonly the Virgin herself prescribed
the kind of service she wished. Especially to the young knight who
had, of his own accord, chosen her for his liege, she showed herself
as exacting as other great ladies showed themselves toward their
Lancelots and Tristans. When she chose, she could even indulge in
more or less coquetry, else she could never have appealed to the sym-
pathies of the thirteenth-century knight-errant. One of her miracles
told how she disciplined the young men who were too much in the
habit of assuming her service in order to obtain selfish objects. A
youthful chevalier, much given to tournaments and the other worldly
diversions of the sicle, fell in love, after the rigorous obligation of his
class, as you know from your Dulcinea del Toboso, with a lady who, as
was also prescribed by the rules of courteous love, declined to listen to
him. An abbot of his acquaintance, sympathizing with his distress,
suggested to him the happy idea of appealing for help to the Queen
of Heaven. He followed the advice, and for an entire year shut him-
self up, and prayed to Mary, in her chapel, that she would soften the
heart of his beloved, and bring her to listen to his prayer At the end
of the twelvemonth, fixed as a natural and sufficient proof of his ear-
nestness in devotion, he felt himself entitled to indulge again in inno-
cent worldly pleasures, and on the first morning after his release, he
started out on horseback for a day's hunting. Probably thousands of
young knights and squires were always doing more or less the same
thing, and it was quite usual that, as they rode through the fields or

Dear U.S.  TTB,

I am writing to ask that you allow alcohol beverages in this country to include basic information such as serving size and alcohol per serving on their labels. 

For years, state and federal authorities have encouraged Americans to eat and drink responsibly. Today American consumers are able to make healthier decisions about what they eat because nearly all edible products have nutritional and serving facts displayed prominently on the outside packaging. 

It is time that drinks with alcohol are allowed to do the same.
With regard to labels, it is time that spirits, wine and beer follow the same guidelines as all other consumable products. Let the American consumer know the facts about what he or she is drinking.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Chief, Regulations and Procedures Division Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau P.O. Box 50221 Washington, DC 20091

Dear Mr. Foster:

I strongly feel that all alcoholic beverage producers should be permitted to put serving facts on their products, just like exist for virtually every other type of product humans ingest.

So many Americans are concerned about calorie and carb intake now, it just makes sense to allow these facts to be displayed on the packaging.

Additionally, as a supporter of liberty, I feel it is an infringement of rights to prohibit any product manufacturer from putting anything truthful on the packaging of his or her product.

Please, wake up and smell the beer, wine, whiskey, whatever and repeal this silly regulation.

Sincerely,

Jeff J Wright

Comments=City Brewing Company is opposed to mandatory inclusion of additional information on alcoholic beverage labels.  The cost to the producer and packager of applying such information on labels far exceeds any public benefit to be derived therefrom.  TTB should allow voluntary statement of alcoholic content on malt beverage labels under uniform standards regarding type size and placement.  TTB should not allow alcohol content statements by way of standard drink sizes because such information is inherently misleading.  TTB should not allow voluntary statements regarding nutritional benefits of alcoholic beverages because they are inherently misleading and conflict with the mandatory warning now required on labels.

FOR RELEASE:  JULY 24, 1995

HUBBLE'S "DEEP" VIEW OF EARLY UNIVERSE 
HELPS SOLVE THE FAINT BLUE GALAXY MYSTERY

One of the deepest images of the sky taken to date with NASA's Hubble
Space Telescope reveals a population of faint blue galaxies which turn
out to be the most common class of objects in the universe.  Their
distances are estimated to range from three to eight billion
light-years, meaning that they were abundant when the universe was a
fraction of its present age, but are rare or harder to find today
because they have faded or self-destructed.

This picture, in combination with a series of images from the Hubble
Space Telescope Medium Deep Survey that covers a larger area of sky, is
allowing astronomers to solve the longstanding "faint blue galaxy
mystery" by showing the true nature of these dim and remote objects.
Deciphering the formation and evolution of these blue dwarf galaxies
may provide new clues to understanding the process of galaxy evolution,
including the formation of our Milky Way Galaxy.

Hubble's high resolution shows that most of these faint galaxies do not
resemble elliptical and well-defined spiral galaxies that are common in
the present universe.  Instead, they have a wide variety of shapes
suggesting that galaxy collisions and other interactions were more
common in the past.  The galaxies are blue because they are undergoing
episodes of intense star-formation which produce a lot of young, hot,
and blue stars.

This picture is a true-color image made from separate exposures taken
in blue, green, and far-red light with the Wide Field and Planetary
Camera 2.  It required a total of 48 orbits around the Earth (amounting
to roughly one day of exposure time) to make the observation and detect
objects about four billion times fainter than the unaided eye can see
(30th magnitude).  The image resolution is about 0.06 arc seconds.  The
image covers a relatively small area of sky -- only one tenth the
diameter of the full moon -- in the constellation Hercules.

The following changes were made to the Risk Assessment Information System
http://risk.lsd.ornl.gov/rap_hp.shtml) in May 2001:
Water Solubility (S) was added to the chemical-specific parameters search
feature.
Addresses and phone numbers were updated on the contacts pages.
For 47 chemicals, the inhalation slope factor was changed from a HEAST
value to a conversion from the IRIS unit risk value, which is more current.
 A footnote was also added to indicate this conversion.  This change
occurred for the following chemicals: Acrylamide; Acrylonitrile; Aldrin;
Aramite; Azobenzene; Benzene; Beryllium; Bis(2-chloroethyl)ether;
Bis(chloromethyl)ether; Bromoform; Butadiene, 1,3-; Carbon Tetrachloride;

...TORNADO SAFETY AT HOME...WORK OR SCHOOL...

PLANNING AHEAD AND KNOWING THE SAFETY RULES IS ESSENTIAL IN BEING 
PREPARED FOR WHEN A TORNADO STRIKES. ONCE A TORNADO HAS FORMED...
THE TIME FOR PLANNING HAS PASSED AND ACTIONS ARE REQUIRED 
IMMEDIATELY TO PROTECT LIFE. EACH INDIVIDUAL MUST KNOW WHAT TO DO 
DEPENDANT ON WHERE THEY ARE...WHETHER AT HOME...WORK OR SCHOOL.

FOR EACH PLACE THERE SHOULD BE BASIC PREPAREDNESS PLANS IN PLACE 
FOR TORNADOES AND SEVERE WEATHER.  

1. SELECT AND DESIGNATE SHELTER AREAS. BASEMENTS BELOW GROUND LEVEL 
   OFFER THE GREATEST PROTECTION. INTERIOR HALLWAYS ON THE LOWEST
   FLOOR AWAY FROM WINDOWS OFFER SOME PROTECTION. PUT AS MANY WALLS 
   BETWEEN YOURSELF AND THE OUTSIDE AS POSSIBLE. STAY AWAY FROM 
   STRUCTURES WITH HIGH WIDE SPAN ROOFS SUCH AS SHOPPING CENTERS OR 
   AUDITORIUMS AND GYMNASIUMS AT SCHOOLS. 

2. HAVE RELIABLE AND REDUNDANT METHODS TO RECEIVE WEATHER INFORMATION.  
   NOAA WEATHER RADIO IS A RELIABLE SOURCE TO RECEIVE CURRENT SEVERE 
   WEATHER INFORMATION. HOWEVER...LOCAL TELEVISION AND RADIO STATIONS...
   THE INTERNET AND PAGERS CAN OFFER OTHER WAYS OF RECEIVING WARNING 
   INFORMATION IN CASE OTHER AVENUES FAIL.

3. EACH MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY...STAFF OR FACULTY SHOULD KNOW THEIR 
   RESPONSIBILITIES AND INSTRUCTIONS TO FOLLOW WHEN A WARNING IS 
   ISSUED OR THREATENING WEATHER APPROACHES. YOU MAY ONLY HAVE A FEW 
   SECONDS TO REACT AND FIND SHELTER. IMMEDIATE ACTION COULD SAVE 
   LIVES. KNOW WHAT TO DO!

4. CONDUCT DRILLS TO TEST AND PRACTICE YOUR PLAN ON A REGULAR BASIS. 
   PRACTICING TORNADO SAFETY PLANS...SIMILAR TO FIRE SAFETY DRILLS...
   WILL ENABLE YOU TO ENACT YOUR PLAN WHENEVER A TORNADO THREATENS YOUR 
   AREA.

KNOW THE SAFETY RULES FOR SURVIVING A TORNADO. IN HOMES AND SMALL 
BUILDINGS...GO TO THE BASEMENT OR A SMALL INTERIOR ROOM SUCH AS A 
CLOSET...BATHROOM OR AN INTERIOR HALL ON THE LOWEST LEVEL. PROTECT 
YOURSELF FROM FLYING DEBRIS WITH THICK BLANKETS...SLEEPING BAGS OR 
MATTRESSES.

AT SCHOOLS AS WELL AS HOSPITALS...FACTORIES AND SHOPPING MALLS GO TO THE 
DESIGNATED SHELTER AREAS...USUALLY AN INTERIOR HALLWAY ON THE LOWEST 
FLOOR WITHOUT WINDOWS. KNEEL ON THE FLOOR AGAINST THE WALL AND PLACE 
HANDS OVER YOUR HEAD TO PROVIDE SOME PROTECTION FOR YOUR HEAD.  
  
FOR MOBILE HOMES...PORTABLE CLASSROOMS OR VEHICLES LEAVE THEM AND 
GO TO A STRONG BUILDING FOR SHELTER. IF THERE IS NO SHELTER NEARBY... 
GET INTO THE NEAREST DITCH OR DEPRESSION. LIE FLAT WITH YOUR HANDS 
SHIELDING YOUR HEAD.

STAY AWARE OF THE LATEST FORECASTS. IF THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER 
EXISTS...BE PREPARED TO ACT BY REVIEWING THE SAFETY PLANS. WHEN SEVERE 
WEATHER OUTLOOKS OR WATCHES ARE ISSUED...BE READY TO ENACT YOUR SAFETY 
PLANS. WHEN A WARNING IS ISSUED OR SEVERE WEATHER THREATENS...ACT 
IMMEDIATELY TO REACH THE DESIGNATED SHELTER AREA. 

PLANNING AHEAD MAY BE THE KEY TO YOUR SURVIVAL DURING A TORNADO.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ON TORNADO SAFETY...CALL YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER 
SERVICE OFFICE...OR VISIT THEM ON THE INTERNET AT WWW.SRH.NOAA.GOV.

hoist the imperial flag, was decimated by many most
ungracious dismissals. The colonel of gendarmerie,
La Pena, of Tulancingo, who had rendered J>oth
valuable and dangerous services, was slighted, and also
the chiefs Galvez and Arguyes. The foremost gene-
rals were gradually set aside and overwhelmed with
discredit; the dismissal even^pfi, the faithful Mejia
himself was contemplated, he who subsequently re-
mained the only true friend in misfortune. The army,
the prefectures, and the gardes rurales, were recruited
with treacherous men, who secretly plotted treason, and
neutralised the efforts of our troops from the very
commencement of operations.
General Bazaine, however, keeping strictly to his
military duties, had lost no time, and had in no way
relaxed the measures which were favourable to tbe
new rgime, for the success of which he had been ten
months preparing. Persevering in the labours begun
by Marshal Forey, who, on the arrival of our regiments
at Mexico, had directed the re-establishment of the
arsenal and of the cannon foundry at Chapultepec, he
took the greatest care in fortifying the capital and its
approaches ; he had also extended these same defensive
measures to the capitals of the states of the interior,
which had been occupied by our forces and the Mexican
troops. On his arrival in the first city of the republic,
he found the artillery service completely disorganised ;
the working stock was dilapidated, and not in working
order ; the magazines had been given up to plunder, the
arsenal was without a tool, the machinery partly taken
to pieces, and partly given up to certain individuals
in settlement of their claims against the government.
The implements of the foundry had disappeared, and
the percussion-cap manufactory was not in a condition
to make any.
Development of a New Set of Mean Atmospheric Soundings for the Tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea

Team Leader: Jason Dunion (AOML/HRD): Jason.Dunion@noaa.gov

Objectives: 
	Test the following hypotheses related to Jordans (1958) Mean Soundings for the West Indies Area:
1.	Jordans work may need to be revisited based on recent advances in our understanding of the Saharan Air Layer (SAL).  
2.	Since the SAL can cover and area the size of the continental U.S. and can reach as far west as the western Caribbean Sea, Central America and the Gulf of Mexico, we hypothesize that his 10-yr climatology may have contained a mixture of dry Saharan and moist tropical atmospheric soundings.  This suggests that the North Atlantic contains a bi-modal distribution of soundings and that a single mean sounding (i.e. Jordans) may not effectively represent the atmospheric conditions that occur in this basin during the hurricane season. 
3.	We hypothesize that new GOES SAL tracking satellite imagery presented by Dunion and Velden (2004) can be used to identify dry, dusty SAL vs moist tropical (non-SAL) atmospheric soundings.  These two types of distinct soundings will be partitioned to create a new set of mean hurricane season atmospheric soundings  (SAL and non-SAL) for the tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea region. 
	Develop a new set of atmospheric soundings for the tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea region that will better represent the mean conditions that affect this part of the globe.
	Use modeling studies to assess the impact of these new atmospheric soundings (SAL vs non-SAL) on tropical cyclone genesis and intensity change.     

Methods: 
	Generate an archive of basin-wide GOES SAL tracking imagery that will span from 1995-present (00 & 12 UTC);
	Generate a quality controlled archive of rawinsonde data that spans from 1995-2002 (00 & 12 UTC) for the following stations: Grand Cayman, Miami, FL, San Juan, PR, and Guadeloupe;

Accomplishments: 
	Submitted a manuscript to the Journal of Climate that presents evidence that Jordans (1958) Mean Soundings for the West Indies Area likely contained a large percentage of SAL soundings and presents a preliminary new set of atmospheric soundings (SAL and non-SAL) for the tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea.  This study uses GOES SAL tracking satellite imagery to identify hundreds of rawinsondes from the 2002 hurricane season that were launched in SAL versus non-SAL environments;

Future Work:
	Develop a new set of atmospheric soundings for the tropical North Atlantic and Caribbean Sea using GOES SAL tracking satellite imagery and 8 years (1995-2002) of Caribbean rawinsonde data;
