however, shows that the company put into the hands of these
legal gentlemen the altered text of the Minnesota land bill,
not stating that the bill passed by the senate was not the bill
passed by the house, and that, both before the fraud and after
it, the company was excluded, by the proviso, from any interest
in said lands. It may be true that the company was technically
organized after the bill was passed, but it was none the less
true that it was essentially constituted before that passage.
Able lawyers in Congress held that, to argue, in this case, the
distinction between the terms constituted and organized, was
an empty plea. It may be true that a territorial statute can
annul the rule of common law, and a grantor convey, or give
in fee, what he does not own. All this was irrelevant. Mr.
Sibley's position, viz., the right reserved to Congress by the
organic act, March 3,1849, establishing the territory, the right
to disapprove and disaffirm territorial legislation, was impreg-
nable and unassailable, so long as that organic act had not
been decided unconstitutional. Nor could the right of Con-
gress to protect its official record and its legislation from fraud
be denied. It remains only to add here, that February 19,
1855, the same two-thirds of the legislature of Minnesota, as
before, voted down a resolution, offered in the house, to in-
vestigate the charge "openly made in the streets, and almost
universally accredited as true," that members of the legisla-
ture had been "bribed and corrupted."1
Such was the celebrated legislature of 1855, and such were
Mr. Sibley's relations to it. Such, also, was his service to the
people of the territory. Neither the cunning, nor art, em-
ployed in Congress or in the legislature availed to evade, or
destroy, the proviso whose insertion in the Minnesota land
bill his foresight secured before it was passed.
The years 1857-1858 evoked new scenes and events in
which Mr. Sibley again appears as a presiding genius, stand-
ing firm amid storms, as before, bringing order from chaos
and light out of darkness. The time had come for Minnesota
to seek entrance into the sisterhood of states. The popula-
tion was between 150,000 and 200,000. Great quantities of
land had been settled upon; counties had multiplied; villages,
towns, and cities had sprung up; schools had been planted,
roads completed, business established, and printing presses
increased.    Immigration poured in like a spreading stream;

This image is a false-color version of a near-infrared map
of lower-level clouds on the night side of Venus, obtained by
the Near Intrared Mapping Spectrometer aboard the Galileo
spacecraft as it approached the planet February 10, 1990.
Taken from an altitude of about 60,000 miles above the
planet, at an infrared wavelength of 2.3 microns (about three
times the longest wavelength visible to the human eye) the
map shows the turbulent, cloudy middle atmosphere some 30-33
miles above the surface, 6-10 miles below the visible
cloudtops. The image shows the radiant heat from the lower
atmosphere (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit) shining through the
sulfuric acid clouds, which appear as much as 10 times darker
than the bright gaps between clouds. The colors indicate
relative cloud transparency; white and red show thin cloud
regions, while black and blue represent relatively thin
clouds. This cloud layer is at about 170 degrees Fahrenheit,
at a pressure about 1/2 Earth's atmospheric pressure. About
2/3 of the dark hemisphere is visible, centered on longitude
350 West, with bright slivers of daylit high clouds visible
at top and bottom left. Near the equator, the clouds appear
fluffy and blocky; farther north, they are stretched out into
East-West filiments by winds estimated at more than 150 mph,
while the poles are capped by thick clouds at this altitude.
The Near Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS) on the Galileo
spacecraft is a combined mapping (imaging) and spectral
instrument. It can sense 408 contiguous wavelengths from 0.7
microns (deep red) to 5.2 microns, and can construct a map or
image by mechanical scanning. It can spectroscopically
analyze atmospheres and surfaces and construct thermal and
chemical maps. Designed and operated by scientists and
engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NIMS involves 15
scientists in the U.S., England, and France.

The Galileo project is managed for NASA's Office of Space
Science and Applications by JPL; its mission is to study the
planet Jupiter and its satellites and magnetosphere after
multiple gravity-assist flybys at Venus and the Earth.

MD DA120 OCEANIA DAIRY MARKET OVERVIEW
MADISON, WI.  FEBRUARY 5, 2009 (REPORT 05)

OCEANIA OVERVIEW:  Milk production in the Oceania region continues to 
edge lower.  In both New Zealand and Australia, milk handlers are 
concerned about how the season will end.  February 1 has arrived and 
lower payout prices across most all areas are now in effect.  Within 
the past four to six weeks, most all milk buyers have adjusted their 
payout prices by as much as 25% lower.  These adjustments are 
significant for most producers, although milk production is on the 
down side and will basically reflect a 10 - 12% annual reduction in 
price when factoring in first half positive prices when volumes were 
the heaviest.  Although lower prices this year are a major adjustment 
for most farmers, next production season will be even harder to adjust 
to.  This is a major topic of discussion at this time and could impact 
current end of season milk volumes.  Milk producers will be making 
decisions during the next few weeks as to how they will wind down the 
2008 - 2009 season and prepare for the 2009 - 2010 season.  One 
consideration is to dry off the cows earlier than usual to reduce 
costly supplemental feed cost.  Climatic conditions could also impact 
late season milk volumes.  In New Zealand, varying temperatures and 
moisture levels could impact milk output quite quickly.  In Australia, 
over most of the dairy region, record setting temperatures, reaching 
45 degree C (113 degree F) occurred for a number of days over the past 
week.  Although these record setting levels have moderated, the impact 
on the milking herd is still unknown.  Milk handlers feel that some 
production will recover, but most feel that these conditions may 
accelerate an earlier season's end.  Early season production projects 
of an 8% increase over last season in New Zealand are being replaced 
with a 4 - 5% increase and recent projections of a 1 - 2% increase in 
Australia are now reverting back to a 1% gain over last year.  
Climatic and economic conditions will be major factors in late season 
milk production trends in Oceania.  Market conditions in the Oceania 
region are little changed from recent weeks.  Oceania traders and 
handlers continue to voice their concern about the re-activation of 
export subsidies in the EU and the possibility of the DEIP program in 
the U.S. and how this will only prolong recovery for dairy producers 
and the industry.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                                                  September 9, 1994
Dear Colleague:

This letter is to advise you of the decision at NASA Headquarters to
restructure the Explorer program for astrophysics and space physics
missions.  The Explorer program is intended to provide these
communities with a continuing program of small, low-cost,
high-flight-rate, discipline-sustaining missions.  The Explorer
program currently includes the Small Explorers (SMEX), with launches
scheduled approximately once per year, and the Delta class Explorers,
for which launches had been planned for 1995 (X-ray Timing
Explorer-XTE), 1997 (Advanced Composition Explorer-ACE) and 2000 (Far
Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer-FUSE).

Both the astrophysics and space physics communities have expressed the
need for more frequent flight opportunities.  The current plan for the
Explorer program including the large Delta class missions was
developed more than 3 years ago in a time of growth in space science
when it was anticipated that a lower cost Medium Explorers (MIDEX)
series of missions, which could be flown at a more frequent rate than
the larger Delta-class, could be started through anticipated
augmentations to the Explorer budget.  These anticipated augmentations
have not materialized and it now appears certain that funding for the
Explorer program will remain flat for the foreseeable future. As the
flight opportunities planned within the current baseline are
insufficient to meet the demands of the astrophysics and space physics
communities, the only remaining option for increasing the number of
missions is to restructure the program by eliminating one or more of
the large Delta class Explorers to release funds for more frequent,
smaller MIDEX class missions.

As a consequence of these constraints, we have reached the very
difficult decision to conclude the Delta class Explorers with the ACE
mission and not to start a Delta-class FUSE mission in FY95.  The
$250M anticipated cost for the FUSE mission is simply too large for
the current Explorer line budget. Terminating the Delta-class with ACE
will therefore make it possible to initiate the MIDEX series and allow
for more flight opportunities at lower cost, with the goal of one
flight per year.  It is now anticipated that an Announcement of
Opportunity for MIDEX will be available early in calendar 1995. With
the introduction of the MIDEX series, the Explorer program would be
able to provide one SMEX and one MIDEX flight each year.

This decision has been made with the intention of optimizing the
scientific return within the entire Explorer program. Nevertheless, it
is acknowledged that the science proposed for FUSE has been ranked
among the highest priorities in astrophysics and that many dedicated
scientists have devoted years to planning for this mission.
Consequently, we will give special effort to accomplishing far
ultraviolet spectroscopy within plans developed for the MIDEX
missions.

QUESTION:
How do you name the nebulas that you find?

ANSWER from Dave Cole on October 30, 1995:
Most of the nebulas we might look at have already been named, or at
least numbered.  The brightest nebulae were first made into a list in
the 18th century by Charles Messier, a French comet-hunter.  He liked
to patrol the night skies looking for new comets, and after a while
noticed that he kept running into the same fuzzy blobs--which look a
lot like comets when they're far away.  So he started making a list so
he could skip over those fuzzballs, and that's the origin of the "M"
objects, like M-57, the Ring Nebula.  In the 19th century amateur
astronomers gave names to almost all of the "M" objects, based on what
they look like.  So we have the Ring Nebula, the Dumbbell Nebula, the
Horsehead Nebula, the Owl Nebula, and so on.  A few nebulae, like the
Orion Nebula, got named after the constellation which contains them.

Of course, no one ever looked at the sky in the infrared before the
1950's, so we don't have any names from a hundred or more years ago.
However, when we discover something today, we're not really allowed to
name it; usually it just gets a number.  This happened to Messier too,
it was the amateur astronomers who got to name all his "M" objects!

Some objects, though, end up naming themselves.  One such object is the
bright infrared source inside M-42 (the Orion Nebula), which we looked
at during our night flights earlier this month.  That source was
discovered in the late 1960's, in the far-infrared by D.  Kleinmann and
Frank Low at the University of Arizona, and in the near-infrared by
Gerry Neugebaur and Eric Becklin at the California Institute of
Technology.  Each pair published their findings, and soon other
astronomers started to call the source either the "Kleinmann-Low
nebula" or the "Becklin-Neugebaur object".  Over time, that got
shortened to the "KL nebula" and the "BN object", and once it was clear
they were really parts of the same thing, the source became "BN-KL".
Recently, I've noticed my advisor (Al Harper) referring to it as
"Binkle"; and you never know, in another 10 years that might be what
everybody calls it!

J., 1996, Organochlorine accumulation by sentinel mallards at the
Winston-Thomas sewage treatment plant, Bloomington, Indiana: Archives of
Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, v. 30, no. 2, p. 163-169.

Abstract

Farm-raised 12-month-old female mallards (Anas platyrhynchos) were
released at the Winston-Thomas sewage treatment plant, Bloomington,
Indiana. Five mallards were sacrificed at the start of the study and at
approximately 10-day intervals through day 100. Concentrations of
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in carcasses increased linearly with time of
exposure and exceeded 16 mu g/g wet weight by day 100; PCBs in breast
muscle exceeded 3.9 mu g/g by day 100. These PCB values are among the
highest recorded for wild or sentinel waterfowl. PCB concentrations in breast
muscle (26-523 mu g/g lipid weight) were 50-1,000 times greater than human
consumption guidelines for edible poultry in Canada (0.5 mu g/g lipid weight)
and 9-176 times greater than consumption guidelines for edible poultry in the
United States (3.0 mu g/g lipid weight). Additionally, PCB concentrations in
carcass and breast muscle exceeded the threshold of the Great Lakes Sport
Fish Consumption Advisory 'do not eat' category (1.9 mu g/g wet weight) by
day 20 and day 50, respectively. Hepatic cytochrome P450-associated
monooxygenases including BROD (benzyloxyresorufin-O-dealkylase), EROD
(ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase), and PROD (pentoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase)
were induced over 5-fold compared to reference mallards. BROD, EROD, and
PROD were each significantly correlated to total PCBs and to the toxicity of
selected PCB congeners, relative to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.

Subject: Docket 00N-1396 & Docket 00D-1598 

Despite overwhelming consumer demand, the FDA
has failed to require health and ecological safety
testing or mandatory labeling, and thus putting my
health and our environment at risk and deprives me of
the right to know or choose what I am eating.

The proposed FDA rules:

* Do not require mandatory pre-market safety testing
* Do not require pre-market environmental review
* Do not require mandatory labeling of GE foods
* Restrict voluntary labeling of non-GE foods
* Require a mere letter of notification prior to the
  marketing of a GE food
* Fail to ensure public access to adequate information
  for independent review
* Are supported by industry and opposed by consumer
  groups


I support:

* The FDA must require mandatory pre-market
comprehensive environmental review. Unlike
conventional pollutants, where a given amount of
pollutant causes a limited amount of damage, a small
number of mutant genes could have a population
explosion and reproduce forever, causing unlimited and
irreparable damage.

* The FDA must require mandatory pre-market long-term
health testing. GE products could be toxic, cause
allergic responses, have lower nutritional value, and
compromise immune responses in consumers.

* The FDA must require mandatory labeling of GE
products. Without mandatory labeling, neither
consumers nor health professionals will know if an
allergic or toxic reaction was the result of a
genetically engineered food. Consumers would be
deprived of the critical knowledge needed to hold food
producers liable should any of these novel products be
hazardous.

* The FDA must end its cozy relationship with the
industries it purports to be regulating. People have
been allowed to work for a biotech company, then work
for the FDA writing the regulatory rules on that
company's product, then go back to working for the
company.  Ninety-two percent of FDA advisory
committee meetings had at least one conflict of
interest.

TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  800
SUBJECT: GRB 000911, BVRI field photometry
DATE:    00/09/27 18:21:28 GMT
FROM:    Arne A. Henden at USNO/USRA  <aah@nofs.navy.mil>

A. Henden (USRA/USNO) reports on behalf of the USNO GRB team:

We have acquired BVRcIc all-sky photometry
with the USNOFS 1.0-m telescope for
an 11x11 arcmin field that is centered on the optical
transient discovered by Berger, et al. (GCN 795).
The photometric data is based on three photometric
nights, but with poor seeing.  Stars brighter than
V=14.5 are saturated and should be used with care.
We have performed an initial deletion of galaxies from
the dataset, but do not guarantee that all objects
in this file are stellar.

We have placed the photometric data on our anonymous ftp site:
ftp://ftp.nofs.navy.mil/pub/outgoing/aah/grb/grb000911.dat
The astrometry in this file is based on linear plate solutions
with respect to USNO-A2.0.  The internal errors are less than 100mas.

Determining the Nature of Dark Energy:
Cosmology with ESSENCE, Pan-STARRS, SPT, LSST, and Other Acronyms

Solving the mystery of the dark energy accelerating the expansion of our 
Universe is quite arguably the greatest challenge facing the astronomical 
and physics communities today.  Our group at Harvard is attacking this problem 
through several complementary observational programs.  I will begin my talk 
by presenting the first cosmological results from the ESSENCE supernova survey, 
which is a six-year project on the CTIO 4-m telescope to discover and study 200 
Type Ia supernovae to determine the properties of dark energy.  After discussing 
the expectations for the final six-year ESSENCE cosmological results, I will 
describe a complementary program we are starting to further constrain the 
properties of dark energy by measuring photometric redshifts, X-ray luminosities, 
and lensing properties of clusters from the South Pole Telescope Sunyaev-Zel'dovich 
effect survey.  I will spend the remainder of the time focusing on the challenges 
and opportunities for observational constraints on dark energy in upcoming large-scale 
surveys such as Pan-STARRS and LSST.

book the experiments on which they found their conjec-
tures?
Let us proceed to give an account of their argu-
ments. There are three fads in natural hiftory, which
henceforward muft be taken for granted. The firft is,
that the tides come from the ocean, and that they ex-
tend more or lefs into the other feas, in proportion as
their channels communicate with the great refervoir
by larger or fmaller openings ; from whence it fol-
lows, that this periodical motion either doth not exift,
or is fcarce perceptible in the Mediterranean, in the
Baltic, and other gulfs of the fame nature. A fecond
matter of fad is, that the tides are much later and
much weaker in places more remote from the ocean,
than in thofe which are nearer to it. The third fad
is, that violent winds, which blow in a diredion with
tlie tides, make them rife above their ordinary boun-
daries ; and that thofe which blow in a contrary di-
redion retard their motion.-at the fame time that they
diminifh their fwell.
From thefe principles it is moft certain, that if Hud-
fon's Bay were no more than a gulf enclofed between
two continents, and had no communication but with
the Atlantic, the tides in it would be very inconfider*
able ; they would be weaker in proportion as they
were further removed from the fource, and would be
much lefs ftrong wherever they ran in a contrary di-
redion to the wind. But it is proved by obfervations
made with the greateft ikili and precifion, that the
tides are very high throughout the whole bay. It is
certain that they are higher towards the bottom of the
bay than even in the ftrait itfelf, or at leaft in the
neighbourhood of it. It is proved, that even this
height increafes whenever the wind blows from a cor-
ner oppofite to the ftrait ; it is therefore certain, that
Hudfon's Bay has a eommunication with the ocean,
befide that which has been already found out.
Thofe who have endeavoured to explain thefe very
ftriking fads, by fuppofing a communication of Hud-
fon's with Baffin's Bay, or with Davis's Straits, are evi-

MATERIALS SCIENCE RESEARCH RACK ENROUTE TO SPACE STATION

Today, a new multi-user materials science laboratory began its journey 
to the International Space Station, leaving NASA's Marshall Space 
Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., for NASA's Kennedy Space Center, 
Fla., for final flight preparations. 

The Materials Science Research Rack or MSRR will allow for study of a 
variety of materials – including metals, ceramics, semiconductor 
crystals and glasses – onboard the orbiting laboratory. It is 
scheduled to fly aboard space shuttle Atlantis on STS 128 planned for 
launch in July 2009. Upon arrival at the space station, the research 
rack will be housed in the U. S. Destiny Laboratory Module. 

"Materials science is an integral part of development of new materials 
for our everyday life," said Alex Lehoczky, project scientist for 
MSRR at the Marshall Center. "The goal of studying materials 
processing in space is to develop a better understanding of the 
chemical and physical mechanisms involved. Then, with this knowledge, 
we can reliably predict conditions required on Earth to achieve 
improved materials." 

The research rack is a highly automated facility and contains two 
furnace inserts in which sample cartridges will be processed up to 
temperatures of 2500°F. Initially 13 sample cartridge assemblies will 
be processed, and each cartridge assembly contains experiment 
samples. The cartridges are placed one at a time into the furnace 
insert for processing. Once a cartridge is in place, the experiment 
can be run by automatic command or science can be conducted via 
telemetry commands from the ground. Processed samples will be 
returned to Earth as soon as possible for evaluation and comparison 
of their properties to samples similarly processed on the ground. 

"Completing the Materials Science Research Rack brings us one step 
closer to making the International Space Station a robust orbiting 
laboratory," said Jimmie Johnson, Marshall Center project manager for 
MSRR. 

The MSRR is about the size of a large refrigerator, measuring 6 feet 
high, 3 ½ feet wide and 40 inches deep and weighs about 1 ton. The 
development of the research rack was a cooperative effort between

Siletzia terrane 

(accretionary wedge - predominantly oceanic rocks) 

(Western part of U.S.A. Pacific Northwest)

Consists chiefly of basalt and greenstone of the early and middle Eocene Crescent and Metchosin 
Formations and the Siletz River Volcanics. The Siletzia terrane includes parts of the Crescent and Siletz 
terranes of Silberling and others (1987). The greenstone consists of metamorphosed tholeiitic pillow basalt, 
massive basalt, diabase, gabbro, tuff, and breccia. Intercalated with the greenstone are minor clastic rocks, 
ferruginous coccolithic limestone, and argillite. Total structural thickness of the terrane is over 16,000 km 
(Babcock and Engebretson, 1991). On the Olympic Peninsula, the greenstone and basalt sequence appears 
to be stratigraphically underlain by continent-derived graywacke, argillite and minor conglomerate (Tabor 
and Cady, 1978).

The origin of these rocks is controversial (Snavely and others, 1968; Cady, 1975; Glassley, 1974; Lyttle 
and Clarke, 1975; Mueller, 1980; and Wells and others, 1984). Many workers now interpret the thick 
sequences of basaltic rocks to have been rapidly erupted in a continental-margin rift basin between about 
56 and 45 Ma (Wells and others, 1984; Babcock and Engebretson, 1991).

Deep seismic-reflection studies on Vancouver Island suggest that the Siletzia terrane was partly subducted 
beneath the Wrangellia superterrane (Clowes and others, 1987). The basaltic rocks are stratigraphically 
overlain by middle and late Eocene turbiditic sedimentary rocks of the Northern Olympic forearc basin.
