Fournier, F., Karasov, W. H., Kenow, K. P., and others, 2007, Growth and 
Energy Requirements of Captive-Reared Common Loon (Gavia Immer) Chicks: Auk, 
v. 124, no. 4, p. 1158-1167.

Abstract

We measured the energy requirements during postnatal development of six hand-
reared Common Loon (Gavia immer) chicks using continuous feeding trials and 
doubly labeled water. At fledging, the mean ( SE) body mass of chicks was 
3,246 51 g. They reached asymptotic body mass in similar to 66 days and had a 
mean growth rate constant of 0.089 +/- 0.002 day(-1), which was greater than 
growth rate constants of other, similar-sized precocial birds. Between hatch 
and day 66, chicks allocated 16.5% of their metabolizable energy to new 
tissue, lower than the average for other bird species (20%), which might be 
expected considering their precocial mode of development. There was a 
developmental change in the assimilation efficiency of food (metabolizable 
energy coefficient), with a mean of 0.64 +/- 0.03 in chicks aged 21 days, 
rising to 0.83 +/- 0.07 in chicks aged 35 days.

	t 11 take you to the plantation and take your picture in the plaee where you were born, 101 years ago.

	Uncle Willis appeared to be sxnewhat in a daze as he padlocked the cabin door, put on his sundown hat, took up his stout stick and tottered aown the steps. He wore a frayed sweater with several layers of shirts showing at the cuffs. On the way he recalled the first railroad train that passed through Burke County.

	I kin1er skeered, he recollected. ~fe wuz all mazed to see dat train flying long thout any horses. De people wuz all afraid.

	Had you heard of airplanes before you saw one, Uncle Willis?

	Yes  ma  am. I yeared o  dem but you	 t glimne di s car full  money to fly. Dey s too high off de ground. I never is gwine in ones

	Uncle ~Vi1lis was deposited on the porch of one of the remaining slave cabins to eat his breakkus, while his kidnapers sought over hill and field for ~The big house  but only two cabins and the chimney foundations of a large burned dwelling rewarded the search. I

	The old ex-~1ave was i~ea in front of the cabin, to one side of the clay and bri ck chimney, and took great pleasure in the ceremony, rearing hi s head up straight so that his white beard stuck out. .

	Th~ brutal rea]~ity of finding the glories of the plantation forever vanished rriust have been a severe blow for the old man. Several times on the way back he wiped tears frc~ his eyes. Once again at his cabin in the cottonfield, his vitality reasserted itself, and he greeted his cu~icus dusky neighbors with the proud statement.

OCC Names Amy Friend Assistant Chief Counsel

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Amy Friend, general counsel to the House Banking and Financial
Services Committee's Democratic staff, has been named assistant chief counsel for the Office of
the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), Chief Counsel Julie Williams announced today.

"Amy brings to the OCC a broad background in bank legislative issues," said Ms. Williams. 
"She has worked on all of the major banking bills that have been considered in the past two
Congresses and has a keen awareness of the many issues that factor into financial services
legislation.   On top of all that, she is a terrific lawyer." 

In her new capacity, Ms. Friend will focus on legislative matters affecting the OCC and the
national banking industry.  She will join the OCC in January, filling a vacancy in the Chief
Counsel's office.

Ms. Friend was appointed to her present position in September, after serving as counsel to the
Banking Committee since January 1993.  From November 1991 to January 1993, she was
counsel to the Banking Committee's Subcommittee on Consumer Affairs and Coinage.  Ms.
Friend has also held various positions on the legislative staffs of Rep. Rosa DeLauro, Rep.
Charles E. Schumer and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.  She earned her J.D. in 1984 from
Georgetown University Law Center, Washington, D.C. and a B.A. in psychology from the
University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

                              # # #

The OCC charters,  regulates and supervises more than 2,600 national banks and 66 federal branches and agencies
of foreign banks in the United States, accounting for 56 percent of the nation's banking assets.   Its mission is to
ensure a safe, sound and competitive national banking system that supports the citizens, communities and
economy of the United States.

its sail, such as red stripes or a cross; they can then be told at a distance by the vessels to which they respectively belong. When the whale is harpooned, and floating dead in the water, it is usual to plant a small flag in it. After the leviathan is towed alongside the vessel, it is cut up into large chunks, and it is a very curious sight to witness the deck of a whaling vessel covered with great masses of blubber. Eventually it is cut up into "mincemeat," in order that all the oil may be extracted, and chopping-knives and even mincing machines are employed for the purpose.     The oil is boiled out on
board, and, if not otherwise informed, a stranger seeing a whaler a little way off with volumes of smoke and steam arising from it, would suppose that the vessel was on fire. On these occasions the sailors have a feast of dough-nuts cooked in boiling whale-oil, whale-brain fritters, and other joints. My friend, Captain Redfield, a very successful whaler well known in San Francisco and Honolulu, invited me, when in Plover Bay, to witness the deck of his vessel with the blubber lying on it, and gave me every chance of tasting whale in various shapes. I don't think that I wish to repeat the experiment.
On the 20th we left Plover Bay for Norton Sound, Russian America, arriving there on the 24th. We anchored under the lee of Whale Island, and later at an anchorage within four miles of our destination, the Island of St. Michael's, Norton Sound    is so shallow that vessels frequently touch
* Norton Sound was surveyed roughly by Captain Cook. It was named, in the fashion of those days, after Sir Fletcher Norton, once Speaker of the House of Commons (afterwards Lord Grantley), and a near relation of Captain King, to whom Cook entrusted the exploration.

CASSINI PROGRAM STATUS
February 14, 1997

     Having successfully completed recent space environmental 
tests,  NASA's Cassini spacecraft, destined for the planet 
Saturn, has been returned to JPL's spacecraft assembly facility 
for a final round of systems testing.  

     The program remains on schedule and within budget.

     The spacecraft, due for launch Oct. 6, will be shipped this 
spring to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida for pre-launch 
preparations .

     Cassini last week completed a month of  so-called "shake and 
bake" tests that imitate the vibration forces and extreme 
temperatures the spacecraft will have to withstand during its 
upcoming launch and flight through space.  Reflective gold-
colored space blankets have been sewn and laced into place on the 
Saturn orbiter.  The 24-layer blankets will protect Cassini's 
computers and other systems from the extreme hot and cold of 
space.      

     The painstaking assembly of Cassini, the most sophisticated 
U.S. planetary spacecraft ever built, has been under way at JPL 
since 1995.  Development of the mission began in 1989 and has 
involved the efforts of thousands of people at university and 
government research labs and technology and business firms across 
the country.  In Europe, work continues on the Huygens probe that 
will be mounted on Cassini and dropped via parachute to the 
surface of  Saturn's largest and most mysterious moon, Titan.  
The Huygens probe will be mated with the Cassini spacecraft at 
Kennedy Space Center in late spring.

     After a nearly seven-year trip, Cassini will reach Saturn in 
July 2004.  There, it will enter  orbit around the ringed planet 
and make detailed, four-year observations of Saturn, its largest 
moon Titan, several smaller icy moons, and the magnetic 
environment surrounding the planet.  The Huygens probe destined 
for Titan's surface is provided by the European Space Agency 
(ESA).  The probe will parachute to the surface of Titan, thought 
to resemble an early Earthlike environment before life began.  
The mission is an international effort of NASA, ESA and the 
Italian Space Agency (ASI), and is managed for NASA by JPL.

THE AMAZON AND MADEIRA RIVERS.
shores of the main stream are tolerably safe now for many a weary day's voyage, as one may readily conjecture from the cottages of the peaceable seringueiros thinly scattered along, until one has reached the domain of the ill-famed Parentintins, anthropophagous hordes, always ready for robbery and murder, and evidently the closest guardians of the rich seringaes (caoutchouc woods) on their territory, for the chances of being murdered and roasted are heavy odds against the acquisition of a few pounds of india-rubber.
Usually the traveller sees so little of these dangerous neighbours, the Araras and Parentintins, that he might be tempted to take the fearful tales of the caoutchouc gatherers for mere inventions of their awe-stricken fancy; but a few light pirogues of the former, which drifted down a lateral affluent, and the total absence of any settlement on the domain of the latter, disposed us to think otherwise. Moreover, the black corner-posts of a burnt cottage near Crato (marked as a town on the geographical maps, but in reality but one house and a few sheds), told their own tale of a whole family having been murdered and roasted there a few years ago by the Parentintins.* As in such cases nothing at all is done by the Brazilian Government, whose principle (very different from the fire-and-sword policy of the Portuguese) it is to spare the natives as much as possible, the few unprotected settlers must make room if they would not incur the danger of sharing the fate of their neighbours. The only mode of evading the difficulty thus created, of uniting humanity towards the natives with a sound protection of the settlers, so necessary for the future prosperity of the country, is to found Indian coloniesAldeamentos or Missions among the Indians themselves. But this gigantic work, as is well known, has been undertaken successfully only by the Jesuits, and even by them under particularly favourable conditions.
* As I write, I learn from the President of the Madeira and Mamore Eailway Company that a small number of Englishmen in the service of the Company have been attacked by the Parentintins at St. Antonio; and a few days afterwards an outpost a little higher up, consisting of a few Mojos Indians, headed by an engineer, were driven back by another troop of savages. As in both cases these escaped without any loss, not one shot having been fired at them, while the Company had. two Mojos Indians killed, they are sure soon to return, and will not, by their visits, add to the comfort of the little colony. However, the hiring of a larger number of workmen, principally Europeanssay to the extent of two thousandand of as many Mojos Indians from Bolivia (which might easily be effected), besides being absolutely necessary for the prosecution of the works, will finally have the effect of putting- down these attacks.

Subject:   RM-8653 - Allocation of Spectrum in the 5 GHz Band to  
               Establish a Wireless Component of the National

Dear Sirs-

Regarding RM-8653 - Allocation of Spectrum in the 5 GHz
Band to Establish a Wireless Component of the National
Information Infrastructure

I am writing to ask that you implement RM-8653, and NOT
RM-8648. 

I think the air waves should be free to those who pay for the
hardware to use them. When the public has to pay for  each use,
communication will be limited. I don't mind paying for the
equipment, and maintaining it, to use the public air waves. I DO
mind having to have to pay exorbitant fees for cable TV and
cellular phones. I used to have cable TV but canceled it because
rates kept going up as services and programming became worse. I
will not pay the current rates for cellular phones.

Please structure this so that the public can use this spectrum
without having to pay an industrial "middleman".

Thank you.

190	THE YUKON TERRITORY.
I have spoken of travelling on snowshoes. To travel without them in winter is impossible, but sometimes on an old, well-beaten road, or with a hard crust on the snow, and while travelling over ice, they are not needed. The different kinds of snowshoes are, in a measure, characteristic of the locality where they are used.

Different kinds of snowshoes.
The Innuit snowshoe (A) is small and nearly flat. It is seldom over thirty inches long. The netting is open and strong, being made of fine remni. That which supports the foot is made of strong mahout, which passes through holes in the frame. It is strong, simple, and well adapted for walking on the hard snow of the coast. Both shoes are alike.
The Ingalik snowshoe (c) is much larger. Mine were five feet eight inches long, and strongly curved up in front. They are always rights and lefts, a slight difference being made in the curves of the frame of the two shoes. They are much wider in front, and the netting, which is of deer sinew twisted into twine, is much closer than in the Innuit shoes. The netting under the foot is the same. In all the snowshoes the strings are alike. Two short loops over the toe, and a long one around the foot above the heel, fasten it to the foot. In walking, the toe sinks into an opening in the netting provided for the purpose. Beginners generally strike their toes against the bar, but after some experience they learn how to adjust the loops and prevent this.

They si ept in the open plains at night. They had good clothe s. They would ride two or three weeks and couldnt get a switch. Finally in about Jum or July they would get into Kansas City. The uthite masters were there wait.. ing and bought foo and supplies to take back home. They would have started another troop of cowboys with cattle about June and n~et them in Kansas City just before Christmas. Jack liked this life except it was a hard life hi bad weather. They had a good living and the Masters made tebig money? Jack said he always had his own money then. His peo~le are soattered around Waco now, the Boyd negroe~ He hasnt been back since he cairn 1x Arkansas when he was about eighteen. He married here and had ~raised a big family. The plains were \ill of rattle snakes~ rabbits, wild oats aid lots of other wild animals. They never started out with less than 400 head of cattle. Ihey picked cattle that would travel about together. It would all be grown or about the same age. The worst thing they had to contend with was a lack of water. They had to carry water along and catch rainwater and hunt places to water the cattle. ills fathers and grand fathers masters names were Gjllj5, 1~awkins, aid Sam Boyd. They were the three v~ho caine to Texas and located the ranch at 1aco. Jack thinks they have been dead a long tinte but they have heirs around Waco now. Jack Boyd left ~aco in l8~3l.

it was God himself that made them coats of skins. . . . How many pieces of ribband, and what feathers, lace-bands, and the like, did Adam and Eve wear in Paradise or out of it ? What rich embroideries, silks, points, etc., had Abel, Enoch, Noah, and good old Abraham ? Did Eve, Sarah, Susannah, The follies Elizabeth, and the Virgin Mary use to curl, powder, of fashion patch, paint, wear false locks of strange colours, rich points, trimmings, laced gowns, embroidered petticoats, shoes with slipslaps laced with silk or silver lace and ruffled like pigeons' feet, with several yards of ribbands? How many plays did Jesus Christ and the apostles recreate themselves at ? What poets, romances, comedies, and the like did the apostles and saints use to pass away their time withal ? . . . But if I were asked, whence came them [these follies]; I would quickly answer, from the Gentiles that knew not God, ... an effeminate Sardanapalus, ... a comical Aristophanes, a prodigal Charaxus, a luxurious Aristippus . . . [from] such women as the infamous Cly-temnestra, the painted Jezebel, the lascivious Campaspe, the most immodest Posthumia, the costly Corinthian Lais, the impudent Flora, the wanton Egyptian Cleopatra, and most insatiable Messalina; persons whose memories have stunk through all ages and carry with them a perpetual rot. These and not the holy self-denying men and women in ancient times were devoted to the like recreations and vain delights."
Or, as concerns the use of "thou" and "thee " for "you," the modern reader needs to be reminded of the English usage in Penn's time, which made the Quaker innovation seem especially heinous. The usage in English was like that in French to-day, and analogous to the German, Italian, and Spanish usage. The singular pronoun was reserved for "Thee" solemn invocations to the Deity, or for familiar and            intercourse with the members of one's family, in-
eluding the servants; for addressing parents, however (especially the father), or social superiors or equals 1 Penn's Select Works, i. 482.
