SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
     Washington, D.C.

     Litigation Release No.  15787 / June 19, 1998

     SEC v. Albert E. Carter, Kelly Polatis and Eunice Polatis, Civil Action 
     No. 2:98CV 0440B, (USDC D.Ut.)(June 18, 1998)

     On June 18, 1998, a civil complaint was filed against Albert E. Carter,
     Kelly Polatis and Eunice Polatis alleging the defendants have, since at
     least March 1997, been perpetrating a securities fraud by selling over $3.5
     million of nineteenth century state and railroad bonds, which have only
     nominal value as collectibles, to investors as investment vehicles capable
     of generating extraordinary returns to those investors.  The bonds being
     sold by the defendants were issued by the Chicago, Saginaw & Canada Railway
     Co. in 1873, the East Alabama & Cincinnati Railway Co.in 1870 and by the
     State of Mississippi in 1838.  The defendants have represented among other
     things that the bonds are redeemable in gold and are guaranteed by the
     United States government; Carter has also represented that the East Alabama
     bonds are guaranteed by the State of Alabama.  It is also alleged that
     Carter has sold interests in an offshore investment program into which he
     claims the nineteenth century bonds can be placed, generating annual
     returns of 100% to 500%.

     The complaint alleges that the defendants violated Section 17(a) of the
     Securities Act of 1933 and Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of
     1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder.  As part of the complaint, the Commission
     seeks, among other relief:  a preliminary injunction; a freeze of the
     defendants  assets; a freeze of the assets of Valice Ltd. LLC, Duro L.C.
     and Iron Horse One, Inc., three relief defendants who received proceeds of
     sales by the Polatises; disgorgement of all illegally obtained profits with
     prejudgment interest thereon and the imposition of civil money penalties.

     Also on June 18, 1998, the Honorable Dee V. Benson, United States District
     Judge, issued an order freezing the assets of Carter, Kelly Polatis, Eunice
     Polatis and the three relief defendants.

and solid; very lofty and very long, and arched like arbors. Their fort is strongly encircled with pickets and bastions, well redoubled, and has strong gates. They are the most faithful Nation to the French, and the most expert hunters that we have. Their cabins are divided into sleeping copartments, which contain their Misirague, and are very clean. They are the bravest of all the Nations, and possess considerable talent. They are well clad; some of them wear close overcoats (Juste au corpsdecapot). The men are always hunting, summer and winter, and the women work. When they go hunting in the fall, a goodly number of them remain to guard the fort. The old women, and throughout the winter those women who remain, collect wood in very large quantity. The soil is very fertile; Indian corn grows to the height of ten @ twelve feet; their fields are very clean, and very extensive; not the smallest weed is to be seen in them.
The Outaouaes are on the opposite side of the river, over against the French fort; they, likewise, have a picket fort. Their cabins resemble somewhat those of the Hurons. They do not make use of Apaquois except when out hunting; their cabins in this fort are all of bark, but not so clean nor so well made as those of the Hurons. They are well dressed, and very laborious, both in their agriculture and hunting. Theirdances, juggleries and games of ball (la crosse) and of the Bowl are the same as those of the Poux. Their game of the Bowl consists of eight small pebbles (noyaux), which are red or black on one side, and yellow or white on the other; these are tossed up in a bowl, and when he who holds the vessel tosses them and finds seven or the whole eight of the same color he gains, and continues playing as long as he achieves the same thing. When the result is different, the adverse party takes the bowl and plays next, and they risk heavy stakes on all these games. They have likewise the game of the Straws, and all the Nations gamble in like manner.
. The timber, in all those countries, is very fine, and, as well as the fruit, of all sorts. There are Nut trees with nuts similar to those of France; very fine apples and very handsome mulberry trees which bear excellent fruit, large in size and very long, and a vast quantity of chestnut trees bearing a large number of chestnuts. Lake Erie, which is fully three hundred leagues in circumference, is bordered with them.
One league from Fort Detroit is an island called Isle aux Cochons, a league long, having the finest timber in the world, and prairies without end. It is one of the handsomest islands that can be seen ; and of very rich soil. Five leagues from the Port is a small lake, called Lake S' Clair, seven leagues long
DYNAMITE
The fireman arose from his chair, dropping an empty shoe with a thump, but, being of the West, without cavil or waste of wind, he stretched his hands above his head, balancing on one foot to keep his unshod member from the damp floor. He had unbuckled his belt, and now, loosened by the movement, his overalls seemed bent on sinking floorward in an ecstasy of abashment at the intrusion, whereupon with convulsive grip he hugged them to their duty, one hand and foot still elevated as though in the grand hailing-sign of some secret order. The other man was new to the ways of the North, so backed to the limit of his quarters, laid both hands protectingly upon his middle, and doubled up, remarking, fervidly:
"Don't point that damn thing at my stomach."
"Ha, hal" laughed the fireman,with unnatural loudness. "Have your joke. boys."
"This ain't no joke," said the foremost figure, its breath bellying out the mask at its mouth.
"Sure it is," insisted the shoeless one. "Must be-we ain't got anything worth stealing."
"Get into your clothes and come along. We won't hurt you." The two obeyed and were taken to the sleeping engine and there instructed to produce a full head of steam in thirty minutes or suffer a premature taking off and a prompt elision from the realms of applied mechanics. As stimulus to their efforts two of the men stood over them till the engine began to sob and sigh reluctantly. Through the gloom that curtained the cab they saw other dim forms materializing and climbing silently on to the cars behind; then, as the steam-gauge touched the mark, the word was given and the train rumbled out from its shelter, its shrill plaint ut 355

Dear Secretary Katz,

Re: File No. S7-19-03

I am writing to offer supporting comments on SEC proposal
S7-19-03 regarding security holder director nominations. 

I applaudy your efforts to reform the corporate practices that
have given business in general a bad name. Boards have been too
pliant in awarding high compensation and retirement benefits to
corporation officers, without asking hard questions about what
exactly it is these officers are doing.

The SEC's proposed rules to give shareholders a voice in
choosing corporate directors are a step in the right direction.
However, the high ownership thresholds and two-year process will
make these reforms difficult for investors to implement. I urge
you to design a simpler process and to adopt final rules that
truly will bring shareholders into the director selection
process.

Sincerely,

Sarah Gorin

QUESTION:
When the first Pathfinder images were being downloaded, I was watching live
on CNN.  I noticed that you were using a popular Unix shareware graphics
package called "xv".  I also noticed the words "Unregistered" when you
started up the package on what appeard to be a Silicon Graphics workstation.
 
I know that Pathfinder was a low budget mission, but i'm sure you could
afford the $25 shareware registration fee to continue using this wonderful
package.

ANSWER from Donna Shirley on October 7, 1997:
An order was placed last month to obtain four licenses.

By the way, what was shown on the screen was a copy of the xv program which
was obtained by an end user and installed in his personal user's account.

Because of the nature of the shareware product being freely available over
the Internet, there was no way that I could have completely prevented the
use of shareware (or freeware) without constant monitoring.  Also, because
of the vague nature of the XV shareware license (it allows free use for the
casual user but not a frequent user), the determination of whether to obtain
licenses becomes subjective.

Nevertheless, the check is in the mail for four (4) XV licenses.
Images listed below can be found together in the "../Events/Current" directory on the server:

JUSTICE ON THE NET

State Information Sources on the Internet

A search of the World Wide Web (Web) a year ago
resulted in few "hits" for State government
agencies and archives. In the interim, there has
been an explosion of information sources at both
the State and local government levels. State
government Web sites can be accessed with the
following address template: http://www.state.xx.us-
-where  xx' is the two-letter U.S. Postal Service
State abbreviation (e.g., http://www.state.nm.us
for New Mexico, http://www.state.id.us for Idaho).
These sites reflect the regional variety and
cultural diversity of the Nation and are
informative and enjoyable to explore.

Those who want to access information more quickly
may prefer sites that consolidate information.
Following are two such sites worth exploring for
justice-related information.

The Virtual Law Library

http://www.law.indiana.edu/law/v-lib/states.html

More than just a virtual law library, this source
points to State governments and services covering
such topics as travel and tourism, legal aid
services, bar associations, offices of State
attorneys general, public safety, courts, and
corrections. The information is organized by State
to facilitate access to the desired information.
Although we were able to locate some State
government agencies (the Kansas State Supreme
Court, for example) that were not yet linked to the
site, the variety and scope of the site is still
impressive.

The Kennedy School of Government Online Political
Information Network

http://ksgwww.harvard.edu/~library/states.htm

Although this site is an excellent source of State
government-related information, it provides
information about local governments, too.
Associations and State "think tanks" are also
represented. One of the more interesting local
sites, "Examples of Local Government Uses of the
Internet," can be found at
http://www.abag.ca.gov/abag/local_gov/examples.
html.

Using NetSearch to locate information resulted in
the identification of several comprehensive and
useful information sources. Yahoo, for example,
provides access to State government information via
list (http://www.yahoo.com/Regional/U_S__States/).
Searches of Lycos and Magellan for "State criminal
justice" produced some interesting finds. Sites
retrieved included a Chicago site on community
policing
(http://www.ci.chi.il.us/CommunityPolicing); a site
under development that will eventually provide
access to a particular State by clicking on that
State's map
(http://sunsite.unc.edu/usa/usahome.html); and a
site that includes an international list of
fugitives (http://www.mostwanted.com). 

Among the online State resources are a directory of
the Clerks of the Court of Louisiana, a colorful
and informative description of travel and tourism
in Idaho, and the New Mexico Office of the Medical
Investigator. Many State library catalogs are
online, and it is possible to find informative
brochures in Acrobat format available for
downloading.

go to that country, which is the case already, where, it is said, something may be gained, and where careful and industrious people flourish and prosper, for such become persons of importance, or at least their descendants do*-what certainty can such persons have for themselves, and their property? I mean certainty, without circumstances ?
New-Netherlander. I take this Well, sir; but this is evidently the sound question which you propounded to me, wherein I have already given you a clear and decisive answer.
Patriot. Not so certain and satisfactory as you suppose. For I consider that to be a country which we have found, which is easy of access by sea and by land, open and unsupplied, or unfurnished with any considerable fortifications. The English and the Indians are strong and numerous around it. The Portuguese and other pirates can easily invade the place on the seaboard, in a short time; for it is easy of access, and near the ocean, and what is more, you well know that our nation is particularly attached to commerce. This I understand to be their principal object. They are industrious as merchants ; but to the security of the country they pay but little attention; they trust to the militia, who are few in numbers. In fact I see great danger there, for if we took property to that country, or gained property therein, we are still insecure in our possessions. *
New-Netherlander. Will you be pleased to answer yourself, or refer to previous remarks; then I may be silent; for if I showed you the country, nothing would be gained. And although there may appear to "be some reason in your remarks, they lay-undistinguished and unconnected, appearing like something, but in truth unfounded.
Patriot. I will frankly admit your explanation under a^ promise not to prejudge the subject on party grounds, according to your request, for that would be useless argument.
New-Netherlander. You do well, sir; for that is the only way to elicit truth; and if my memory extends far enough, your objections will be answered. What kind of a country the-New-Netherlands is, and how its possession was acquired^ is fully detailed in the history of its discovery, whereon it is unnecessary to dilate in a particular manner. The West India Company, m connection with others from time to time, have expended many tons of gold in the establishment, and for the security of their colony. It has not been brought to its present situation without much cost and trouble.
You say in the second place, that the country is unprovided with proper fortifications for its defence, and that its seaboard is unprotected, the land sides also.   You advance too much.    Ob-
 The invasion of Col. Nicholls, in 1664, prove* the correctness of the PatHoft ^remarks.Trans.

QUESTION:
What kind of power will they use on Mars?

ANSWER from Geoff Briggs on October 28, 1999:
This is a key question regarding ultimate self-sufficiency of a human crew
at a Mars base -- and no certain answer is yet available.

A nuclear reactor, transported to Mars cold and started up there, would be
perfectly safe and would be a very compact source of power.  So, this would
probably be the ideal power source for early human missions to initiate a
Mars base.   Lifetime would be about 10 years.  Used reactors would have to
be safely disposed of and replaced.

Solar panels would have to cover very large areas (because the intensity of
sunlight at Mars is about half that at Earth) to provide power in quantity,
would require a power storage capability to deal with night-time and with
dust storms.  The panels would also have to be cleaned of accumulated dust.
And present panels don't last forever.  So, we have to look for
improvements here to make a system practical.  Maybe solar cells could be
manufactured at a Mars base one day.

Windmills may not be out of the question but the martian atmosphere is very
thin and so windmills would have to be very large to generate significant
power.  I have not seen a quantitative analysis but I suspect windmills are
too challenging.

Perhaps we may find hydrothermal areas on Mars where the internal heat of
the planet (in effect subsurface volcanism) heats subsurface water as in
places like Yellowstone National Park.  A source of hot water would be a
very useful source of power.  We don't know whether Mars has such activity.

Conceivably we might find sources of subsurface methane on Mars but you
could not burn this gas in the carbon dioxide atmosphere so such "natural
gas" even if discovered would not be a a power source.
We present a measurement of W/Z boson + jets production and Z P(t)
measurement in the p anti-p collisions at the Tevatron Collider at s**(1/2) =
1.96 TeV.  The CDF II measures W+jets production based on 320 pb-1 and the
D0 Run II measures Z+jets with 950 pb-1 data.  The measurement of Z P(t) is
performed with D0 Run II data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
960 pb-1.  The measurement of W + jets is compared to the Leading Order
Alpgen + Pythia prediction and the Z+jets is compared to Sherpa and Pythia
Monte Carlo.  The Z P(t) measurement is also compared to Resbos+Photos
predictions.

On 2002 April 7.14 we observed the optical counterpart of GRB 020405 
reported by Price et al. (GCN 1326). The observations were performed 
with the ESO VLT-3 (Melipal) telescope equipped with FORS1 with a V 
filter in the imaging polarimetry mode. The transient source is clearly 
detected and the acquisition image allowed to derive the Bessel V 
magnitude of the transient, V=21.45 +/- 0.1, assuming V=18.5 and V=17.6 
for the comparison USNO-A2.0 stars 0525-16813005 and 0525-16815468, 
respectively, as reported in  Palazzi et al. (GCN 1328).

Spliceosomal Small Nuclear RNA Genes of Insecta
The removal of introns from the primary transcripts of protein-coding genes is accomplished by the spliceosome, a large
macromolecular complex of which small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs) are crucial components. Following the recent sequencing
of the several insect genomes, we used various computational methods, ranging from sequence similarity search to
RNA secondary structure prediction, to search for putative snRNA genes (including their promoters) and to examine their
pattern of conservation among 17 available insect genomes (Apis mellifera, Tribolium castaneum, Bombyx mori, Anopheles
gambiae, Aedes aegypti, and twelve Drosophila species). We identified candidates for all nine spliceosomal snRNA genes in all the
analyzed genomes. All the species contain a similar number of snRNA genes, with the exception of A. aegypti, whose genome
contains more U1, U2, and U5 genes, and A. mellifera, whose genome contains fewer U2 and U5 genes. We found that snRNA
genes are generally more closely related to homologs within the same genus than to those in other genera. Promoter regions for
all spliceosomal snRNA genes within each insect species share similar sequence motifs that are likely to correspond to the PSEA
(proximal sequence element A), the binding site for snRNA activating protein complex, but these promoter elements vary in
sequence among the five insect families surveyed here. In contrast to the other insect species investigated, Dipteran genomes
are characterized by a rapid evolution (or loss) of components of the U12 spliceosome and a striking loss of U12-type introns.

Subject: POLICY FOR USING THE D0 ONLINE CLUSTER
Date: 31-MAR-1995 13:28:12
Expires: 15-APR-1995 13:28:12

                        D0 ONLINE CLUSTER POLICY

        I've heard from some people lately that they are not sure which
    of the online nodes are available for people doing online development
    or data/detector monitoring.  So I will repeat our policy here for everyone.

    Nodes used for data taking - NOT available for users:
        D0HSA, D0HSB, D0HSC, D0HS11   - never log into these nodes
        D0HS09 - used for TAKERS, TRGMON, L2 VCS
                 and online monitoring by experts
        D0HS10 - used for HV and L2 verification jobs
        D0HS12, D0HS13, D0HS16, D0HS17, D0HS18, D0HS19, D0HS01
               - used for shift examines
        D0HS14 - used for detector shift monitoring purposes

        D0HS06, D0HS08    - used by shifters, TAKERS, TRGMON,
         (model 38's)       L2 VCS, LOGBOOK, etc.
                          - non-shifters may use these nodes for non-cpu
                            intensive work

        D0HS07 (model 38) - not used for shift duties
        D0HS15 (model 90) - not used for shift duties
                          - L2 verification batch jobs
                          - DBL3 backups
        D0HS20 (alpha)    - used for online development work

    So, people doing online development work or detector monitoring should
    use D0HS07 and D0HS15 (or D0HS20 for alpha development work).  They can
    also use D0HS06 and D0HS08 as long as only one or two people are using
    these nodes at a time, and all are doing non-CPU intensive work.

        We STRONGLY DISCOURAGE people running jobs on FNALD0 (or any other
    cluster), using data on the D0 disks.  We will kill any such jobs found
    impacting data taking.
        Network file copies should always be done through the node that the
    disk, containing the file of interest, is locally mounted, NOT using the
    generic D0::.  D0:: should NEVER be used for anything, except possibly
    sending mail.

The Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT) was pointed at GRB041223 (GCN 2898, Tueller 
et al.) on 2004/12/23 at 18:43:59 UT for 1490 s, at 20:16:24.4s for 1600 s, 
and at 21:50:40 for 430 s.  The spacecraft did not autonomously slew to the 
burst since automated slewing is not yet enabled and the XRT is in the 
midst of engineering measurements.  The observation was performed as a 
Target of Opportunity beginning about 4.5 hours after the burst.

We detect a fading X-ray source about 3.5 arcminutes from the BAT 
position.  The ground-calculated positions were checked through two 
independent data processing and analysis techniques, which yielded 
consistent sky positions within 22 arcseconds.  Our best estimate of the 
X-ray afterglow position is 06:40:49.2, -37:04:21.5 (J2000) for the first 
observation.  The position determined independently for the second 
observation was within 4 arcseconds of these coordinates.  The XRT 
alignment is not yet fully calibrated, and we estimate a systematic 
uncertainty of about 15 arcseconds in this position.  Checks against 
SIMBAD, DSS and X-ray catalogs from ROSAT, ASCA, XMM, and Chandra yielded 
no known source at this position on the sky.

We have a total of about 580 counts from this object in the first two 
observations.  A simple power-law fit to the spectrum gives a photon index 
of 1.43 +/- 0.09 and model fluxes of 1.7E-12 ( 0.5-2 keV) and 4.7E-12 (2-10 
keV) ergs/cm**2/s.  We caution that the instrument is not yet fully 
calibrated and that these fluxes may have systematic uncertainties of 
15%.  The light curve based on all three observations is well fit with a 
power-law index of 2.2 +/-  0.3.
