MPGWRITE

Purpose

	Translate a Matlab movie into an MPEG file.

Synopsis

	mpgwrite(movie, map, 'filename', options)
		Matrix movie;
		Matrix map;
		String filename;
		Vector options;

Arguments

	movie 		a matrix containing a Matlab movie.
	map 		matrix containing a Matlab colormap.
	'filename' 	string containing the name of the MPEG
				file to be created.
	options 	(optional) vector of options for the MPEG encoder.
			Default Value: [1, 0, 1, 0, 10, 8, 10, 25]

Description

	This routine takes a Matlab movie and converts it into an MPEG
	movie which is placed in the specified output file "mpeg_file".
	The MPEG file can be viewed with an MPEG player such as mpeg_play.
	MPEG compression is lossy and the quality of the movie's 
	reproduction can be controlled by several parameters.  The MPEG
	encoder creates frames utilizing three types of interpolation.
	I-Frames are encoded completely without interpolation from past or
	future frames.  P-Frames are encoded relative to the previous
	frame and B-Frames (bi-directional) are interpolated using
	both the previous and the following frame.
	
	The options argument is a vector of integers.  Each interger
	determines the value of one option depending on its position in
	the vector.  No options in the vector may be skipped, but
	options may be ommitted from the end of the list.  The repeat 
	option directs mpgwrite to encode a specified number of copies of
	the Matlab movie and place them into the MPEG file.  The P-Search
	algorithm option controls how P-Frames are encoded.  Similarly, 
	the B-Search algorithm controls B-Frame encoding.  The reference
	frame can be either the original or the decoded image.  Using
	the decoded image is slower but results in better quality.
	The MPEG encoder divides each frame into blocks and expects that
	many of these blocks will remain the same between frames except
	for translation within the frame.  A range parameter provides 
	the encoder with a search radius in pixels.  Higher values will
	slow compression but improve the compression ratio.  The last
	three parameters that may be specified control the quantization
	scale.  Higher numbers result in better compression at the
	expense of image quality.  The following is a list of parameters
	and their allowed values:

	1. REPEAT:
		An integer number of times to repeat the movie
		(default is 1).
	2. P-SEARCH ALGORITHM:
		0 = logarithmic	(fastest, default value)
		1 = subsample
		2 = exhaustive	(better, but slow)
	3. B-SEARCH ALGORITHM:
		0 = simple	(fastest)
		1 = cross2	(slightly slower, default value)
		2 = exhaustive	(very slow)
	4. REFERENCE FRAME:
		0 = original	(faster, default)
		1 = decoded	(slower, but results in better quality)
	5. RANGE IN PIXELS:
		An integer search radius.  Default is 10.
	6. I-FRAME Q-SCALE:
		An integer between 1 and 31.  Default is 8.
	7. P-FRAME Q-SCALE:
		An integer between 1 and 31.  Default is 10.
	8. B-FRAME Q-SCALE:
		An integer between 1 and 31.  Default is 25.

Dear U.S.  TTB,

I have come to expect that any packaged food and beverage I consume contains basic information like serving size and the amount of protein, per serving. Food, nonalcoholic beverages, drugs, even dietary supplements all provide basic consumer facts about the product on the label. But I noticed that for some reason, alcoholic beverages are exempt from this standard. 

I am writing to you today to ask the TTB to make this information readily available to consumers. I know that some companies that sell their products around the world voluntarily provide standard drinks information on product labels in the United Kingdom, and I don?t understand why the federal government doesn?t allow disclosure of this information in the U.S. 

Diageo's proposed Serving Facts label will provide important, basic information like alcohol content, serving size, and alcohol per serving. This information will help adults know what they are drinking and to moderate their consumption.

Please provide consumers this information. There is no reason not to.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Sidney Shook

Subject: What's in your food? (FDA Dockets 00N-1396 and 00D-1598)

Dear Corporate and Government Leaders,

Neither government nor industry is protecting Americans from the risks posed to human health and the environment by genetically engineered (GE) foods. The Food and Drug Administration's "new" policy on GE foods (proposed January 18, 2001) continues to let the biotech industry regulate itself; it fails to require the long-term, pre-market safety testing demanded by independent experts. The "voluntary labeling" guidelines are a wholly inadequate response to the overwhelming public support for mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods. Therefore, I urge you to keep all genetically engineered ingredients and crops off the market unless:

1) Independent safety testing demonstrates they have no harmful effects on human health or the environment, 

2) They are labeled to ensure the consumer's right-to-know, and 

3) The biotechnology corporations that manufacture them are held accountable for any harms they may cause.

Sincerely

Sahara Desert.  The dark areas are lava flows, the calderas have long ago 
been eroded by the desert winds.  The red toned surrounding surfaces are 
thick tropical soils, remnants of much earlier times when this region was a 
much greener savanna landscape that have also been severly eroded.

U.S.  TTB
 

Dear U.S.  TTB,

Please take the time to consider my views on the lack of proper labeling of alcoholic beverages in the United States. 

For too long, American consumers have been unable to acquire enough information about the beer, wine, and spirits they drink.
The federal government has been all too eager to require nutritional information on everything from hot dogs to chocolate milk, but the alcohol industry remains a curious exception. 

Considering the number of Americans who responsibly consume alcohol, I implore you to encourage drink makers (makers of wine, beer, etc.) to join with the rest of the food and beverage industry and list basic information on a Serving Facts label.

Thank you for your time.

BASED ON DATA THROUGH 0000 UTC JANUARY 27 2009

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW CENTERED 550 MILES NORTH OF KAUAI IS 
DRIVING A COLD FRONT THAT IS MOVING ACROSS THE GARDEN ISLE THIS 
AFTERNOON.

THE UPPER LOW IS CENTERED NEAR 30N161W AND IS DROPPING TO THE SOUTH 
SOUTHEAST AROUND 18 MPH...WHILE A SURFACE LOW APPEARS TO BE 
DEVELOPING TO THE NORTH NEAR 31N161W. A SHORT WAVE ALOFT THAT WAS 
ROTATING ALONG THE SOUTHWEST FLANK OF THE UPPER LOW OVERNIGHT 
APPEARS TO HAVE BOTTOMED OUT AT THE BASE OF AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH 
EXTENDING FROM THE UPPER LOW TO 23N162W. THE SHORT WAVE IS 
TRAVELLING TO THE EAST AROUND 30 MPH AS IT PASSES NORTH OF THE 
ISLANDS. 

UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF THE SHORTWAVE ALOFT...THE SURFACE FRONT IS 
RATHER VIGOROUS NORTH OF 24N...BUT CLOSER TO THE ISLANDS IT WEAKENS 
RAPIDLY SOUTHEAST OF 24N...WHERE UPPER LEVEL SUPPORT IS WANING. THE 
FRONT IS MARKED BY A 175 MILE-WIDE BAND OF OVERCAST LAYERED CLOUDS 
CENTERED ALONG 30N158W...27N157W...AND 24N159W. ISOLATED...EMBEDDED 
THUNDERSTORMS RISE AS HIGH AS 43 KFT ALONG THIS PORTION OF THE 
FRONT. TO THE SOUTHWEST...THE FRONT CONTINUES AS A BAND OF BROKEN TO 
OVERCAST CUMULUS CLOUDS THROUGH 19N170W AND 16N180. NEAR THE 
STATE...THE FRONT IS TRAVELLING TO THE SOUTHEAST AT 15 MPH...WITH 
CLOUD TOPS GENERALLY REACHING 10 TO 12 KFT...BUT A NARROW BAND OF 
TOWERING CUMULUS CLOUDS AT THE LEADING EDGE OF THE FRONT RISES 
BETWEEN 15 TO 18 KFT JUST OFF THE NORTHWEST COAST OF KAUAI.

THE SHIELD OF HIGH CLOUDS THAT HAD BEEN OBSCURING THE MAIN HAWAIIAN 
ISLANDS THIS MORNING HAS CLEARED KAUAI AND OAHU AND IS THINNING 
SUBSTANTIALLY OVER THE EASTERN END OF THE STATE AS AN AREA OF 
DIFFLUENCE ALOFT ALONG THE FLANK OF THE UPPER LOW SHIFTS 
NORTHEASTWARD. THE SHIELD OF BROKEN HIGH CLOUDS IS NOW LOCATED 
WITHIN 250 MILES OF A LINE FROM 30N151W TO 24N150W TO 19N155W.

BROKEN CUMULUS CLOUDS DOMINATE OVER KAUAI AND OAHU THIS AFTERNOON. 
THESE CONDITIONS ARE THE RESULT OF SCATTERED LOW CLOUDS MOVING FROM 
THE SOUTHWEST AROUND 10 TO 15 MPH OVER ADJACENT WATERS BECOMING 
ENHANCED BY AFTERNOON SEA BREEZES OVER THE ISLANDS. THESE CLOUDS 
GENERALLY RISE AS HIGH AS 10 TO 12 KFT AS THE ATMOSPHERE GRADUALLY 
DESTABILIZES OVER THE WESTERN END OF THE ISLAND CHAIN. HIGH CLOUDS 
PARTIALLY OBSCURE THE EASTERN END OF THE STATE...BUT LOCALLY BROKEN 
LOW CLOUDS ARE FOUND OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN OF MAUI COUNTY AND THE 
BIG ISLAND...WITH THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF CLOUD COVERAGE NOTED 
ACROSS THE LEEWARD KONA AND KOHALA DISTRICTS.

STABLE...RIDGING ALOFT DOMINATES FOR SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES EAST OF 
THE ISLANDS. BANDS OF SCATTERED TO BROKEN STRATOCUMULUS CLOUDS ARE 
MOVING WITHIN THE TRADE WIND FLOW...GIVING WAY TO SCATTERED CUMULUS 
CLOUDS EAST OF 150W AS THE UPPER RIDGE IS ERODED BY A NEARLY 
STATIONARY UPPER LOW 1350 MILES EAST OF THE STATE.

sunk into his soul the dark-mantled sorrow that came to be
his companion as he started from Camp Pope, mated by an-
other, in the midst of his march; both death angels escorting
him to his desolated home!
Nor were his thoughts confined to himself and his house-
hold. He loved his country and his state, next to his home.
He longed for peace and not war. "July 10th.I spent the
day in coopering barrels of hard bread for our expedition.
We march at 4 a. K. I feel much depressed to-day, not only
by my private griefs but by the gloomy news of the advance
of the rebels." "August 18th, Camp Ambler.Exhausted.
This is the anniversary of the Sioux outbreak and massacre of
1862. What changes have occurred within one year! Hun-
dreds of people massacred, or their homes broken up. The
Indians severely chastised at Wood Lake. Many hung, or
confined in prison. Campaign of this year about to close with
a degree of success almost marvelous. Thank God! The
Southern forces are being pushed to the wall, and apparently
cannot much longer resist. O for peace and unity, once more,
in our beloved country! God grant wisdom to its rulers to
guide the nation in this fearful crisis of its fate. Poor dear
Mamie and dear Frank! How changed I am in body and mind!
I (hank God for the strength given me, though so deeply afflicted, to
do my whole duty as leader of the expedition.'11'1

virtue, the strength of personal affection, dependence on an
overruling Providence, love of country, fidelity, integrity,
truth, endurance, and self-sacrifice,a bright-set constellation
of breast-worn honors, outdazzling all the star-and gartered
titles of nobility; an ornament of character more costly than
the diadems of kings, more lustrous than the gems that Aaron
wore. Mediocrity, hate, jealousy, calumny, and death, all

You don't eat more than a sick sparrow, and often you don't bat an eye all night. You're looking worse than the devil in a gale of wind. You've lost your grip, my boy. You don't care whether school keeps or not. In fact, if it wasn't for your folks, you'd as lief take a short cut across the Great Divide."
" You're going it a little strong, old man."
" Oh no, I'm not. You know you're sick of everything. Feel as if life's a sort of penitentiary, and you've just got to do time. You don't expect to get any more fun out of it. Look at me. Every day's my sunshine day. If the sky's blue I like it; if it's grey I like it just as well. I never worry. What's the use? Yesterday's a dead one; to-morrow's always to-morrow. All we've got's the ' now,' and it's up to us to live it for all we're worth. You can use up more human steam to the square inch in worrying than you can to the square yard in hard

{description}   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. Paul Gutierrez, United Space Alliance
                associate program manager for the Solid Rocket Booster Element,
                congratulates employees in the Assembly and Refurbishment
                Facility for preparing the first (left) solid rocket booster aft
                skirt for mission STS-114 on schedule. The segment, seen behind
                Gutierrez, will be transferred to the Rotation Processing and
                Surge Facility (RPSF) for stacking. At the RPSF an aft motor
                segment and an external tank attach ring will be installed. The
                stack will then be moved to the Vehicle Assembly Building for
                further build-up. This is the first transfer of a large piece of
                hardware from SRB to Ground Operations. It is a significant
                milestone in the march to Return to Flight.

QUESTION:
If the Mars atmosphere is less than 1% than that of Earth, how can a
parachute of the size you are using be sufficient? It would seem to me that
you would need a parachute close to 1000' wide to achieve the same effect.
Would you please explain the dynamics of placing a lander on Mars, and why a
small parachute would work on Mars as it does on Earth?

ANSWER from Rob Manning:
You ask a very insightful question. The bottom line is you're right,
parachutes this small aren't sufficient on Mars! On Mars Pathfinder, as on
Viking, we use a "small" 40.5 ft (12.5 m) chute. It was scaled so that, with
our lighter lander, it does about as much for the our descent speed as does
Viking's. Our terminal velocity seconds before getting to the ground (where
the atmosphere is "thickest") is still about 65 m/s (146 mph)!!

You are correct, it would indeed take a larger chute to get slower "normal"
Earth-like terminal velocities. Our chute on Mars is about the equivalent of
a chute 38 times smaller in area on Earth (6.5 ft across!), and this
includes the effect of Mars' lower gravity! A chute that could lower our
lander to the Martian ground at a gentle 10 m/s (22 mph) would have to have
an area about 42 times larger than our "little" chute (or a diameter of 263
ft)! That's 42 times the mass (and volume) of our 10 kg chute, or 420 kg,
more than the mass of our entire lander! It wouldn't fit! We would need to
have a "gossamer" (ultra-light weight material) parachute and then figure
out how to get it open at high speeds!

This is why we turned to solid rockets to stop our lander just before we hit
the ground. Viking, too, used liquid rockets to slow the terminal decent.
Also Pathfinder's airbags protect the lander from the local terrain
variations (bumps, craters, rocks, hills, etc.) after the rockets do their
thing.

So why do we do we use a chute at all? Well, parachutes might not be all
that good at laying a lander gently down on the Martian surface, but they do
a spectacular job of braking something moving very fast. Remember, the drag
FORCE a chute generates (therefore its deceleration), is proportional to the
square of the velocity and only linearly proportional to the atmospheric
density; so even a thin atmosphere and a "small" chute will do much to slow
our entry vehicle down once the heatshield's aerobraking has been mostly
achieved.

This is also true of heatshield, our entry vehicle (like Viking's) enters
the upper atmosphere at 7 km/s (or more than 15,000 mph!). Most of this is
reduced by the friction with the heatshield. But even 2 minutes later, our
vehicle is still screaming in at nearly 400 m/s (900 mph) when the parachute
opens before slowing down to 65 m/s near the ground. I'd say that reducing
our velocity by a factor of 6 (a factor of 36 in kinetic energy), isn't all
that bad for only 10 kg of extra payload mass, wouldn't you?

So, the short answer is, you're right, parachutes don't work on Mars like
they do on Earth (neither do airbags, but that is another story), but they
do a great job when you need to slow down something that is whipping through
the Martian atmosphere FAST!

MISSION CONTROL CENTER
STS-67 Status Report # 29

Thursday, March 16,  5:00 PM CST

Endeavour's astronauts wrapped up final astronomical observations
today, setting their sights on home as their record-setting research
mission nears its conclusion.

With the trio of ASTRO-2 telescopes in their ship's cargo bay having
obtained a wealth of ultraviolet celestial data, Endeavour's
astronauts prepared to deactivate the stargazing instruments.

Commander Steve Oswald spoke with U.S. Astronaut Norm Thagard aboard
the Mir Space Station in a radio hookup between the two
spacecraft. Former shuttle crewmates, Oswald and Thagard exchanged
congratulations on their respective flights and discussed the symbolic
importance of Thagard's venture as the first American to visit the
Russian space outpost. Thagard and his Russian crewmates arrived at
Mir early this morning to begin three months of scientific and medical
research.

The Red team astronauts -- Oswald, Pilot Bill Gregory, Mission
Specialist John Grunsfeld and Payload Specialist Ron Parise --
conducted final data takes with the ASTRO telescopes and reviewed
entry messages prepared by the flight controllers who will guide
Endeavour to its scheduled landing tomorrow afternoon at the Kennedy
Space Center.  
 Three landing opportunities to Kennedy Space Center
are available on Friday. The first landing opportunity would bring
Endeavour home at 1:53 PM CST, followed by backup opportunities at
3:30 PM and 5:07 PM.

The current weather forecast for KSC calls for broken and scattered
clouds and a chance for rain and thundershowers within 30 miles of the
landing site. NASA managers have elected not to call up landing
support at the backup landing site at Edwards Air Force Base in
California for Friday and would keep the astronauts aloft for an extra
day in the event weather prevents a landing in Florida.

Before beginning their deorbit preparations tomorrow, the astronauts
will test-fire Endeavour's reaction control system jets to ensure that
the Shuttle is in good shape for its return to Earth.

Tonight, at 6:33 PM CST, Endeavour will eclipse the existing endurance
record for a Shuttle, breaking the mark of 14 days, 17 hours and 55
minutes in orbit. That record was set by Columbia last year, on the
STS-65 mission.

Endeavour continues to perform flawlessly, orbiting the Earth every 91
minutes at an altitude of 185 nautical miles.

Hi Matt,

I noticed your new update earlier today and thought that things look
better than before.  Glynn's and my power are almost the same, and
what you calculate is very close (say within 10-15%), or am I missing
the point?

One thing that I had noticed is that you do include flatfielding,
while I have not done so in the past.  I am not sure how much of a
difference this will make.  I am currently working on April 10, 97,
since that is what Aaron at SwRI is interested in, and I have a very
difficult time: the viewing geometry and brightness are difficult to
deal with, as far as removing dayglow is concerned.  So I have started
to use the flatfield (f13_sec, and f13_sec_mask) which did improve
things.  However, coming back to Jan 18, if you did include the
flatfield and mask, and I didn't, I think you should have gotten a
smaller number (or is the oval small enough that nothing gets clipped
by the mask?).

Anyway, I'll look into rerunning Jan 18 with the f13_sec flatfield, to
see what the difference might be.

GLICKMAN ANNOUNCES NEW LOANS FOR ON-FARM STORAGE

     WASHINGTON, May 9, 2000   Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman said today
that USDA will begin making seven-year, low-cost loans to farmers to help
build or upgrade commodity storage and handling facilities.  

     "To get the best price for their crops, farmers need marketing
flexibility," Glickman said.  "On-farm storage gives farmers the control they
need to segregate their crops and decide when to sell them."

     USDA's Farm Service Agency will implement the program to provide seven-
year financing for on-farm storage of wheat, rice, soybeans, sunflower seed,
canola, rapeseed, safflower, flaxseed, mustard seed, crambe, other oilseeds to
be announced, corn, grain sorghum, oats, and barley.  The interest rate
charged will be the same as the rate charged on comparable Treasury securities
in effect during the month the loan is approved.  The rate will remain in
effect for the term of the loan.  

     Farmers may file loan applications starting on May 30, 2000.  Farmers
who bought or built storage facilities between February 2, 2000 and May 30,
2000 may apply for a loan and may be approved if they meet eligibility and
loan security requirements. 

     USDA will publish the draft regulations for this program in the Federal
Register this week.   A 30 day comment period will follow. A final rule will
be published and codified after comments have been considered on the Farm
Storage Facility Loan Program and USDA financing for storage structures for
commodities other than grain, such as silage; alternative types of storage,
such as "condominium storage"; and storage facilities for other agriculture
products.  Additional information can be found on website:  www.fsa.usda.gov
