the river they could not go back. Four Spaniards fled to the brigan-tine that was nearest to the canoes ; and only these escaped of those that came among the Indians. There were eleven that died there : among whom John de Guzman was one, and a son of Don Carlos, called John de Vargas : the rest also were persons of account and men of great courage. Those that escaped by swimming said that they saw the Indians enter the canoe of John de Guzman at the stern of one of their canoes, and whether they carried him away dead or alive they could not certainly tell.
The Indians, seeing that they had got the victory, took such courage, that they assaulted them in the brigantines, which they durst not do before. They came first to that brigantine wherein Caldcron went for captain, and was in the rearward : and at the first volley of arrows they wounded twenty-five men. There were only four armed men in this brigantine ; these did stand at the brigantine's side to defend it. Those that wore unarmed, seeing how they hurt them, left their oars and went under the deck : whereupon the brigantine began to cross, and to go where the current of the stream carried it. One of the armed men seeing this, without the commandment of the captain, made a footman to take an oar and steer the brigantine, he standing before him and defending him with his target. The Indians came no nearer than a bowshot, from whence they offended and were not offended, receiving no hurt : for in every brigantine was but one crossbow, and those which we had were very much out of order. So that the Christians did nothing else but stand for a butt to receive their arrows. Having left this brigantine they went to another, and fought with it half an hour ; and so from one to another they fought with them all. The Christians had mats to lay under them, which were double, and so close and strong, that no arrow went through them. And as soon as the Indians gave them leisure, they fenced the brigantines with them. And the Indians seeing that they could not shoot level, shot their arrows at random up in the air, which fell into the brigantines, and hurt some of the men : and not therewith, contented, they sought to get to them which were in the canoes with the horses. Those of the brigantines environed them to defend them, and took them among them. Thus seeing themselves much vexed by them, and so wearied that they could no longer endure it, they determined to travel all the night following, thinking to get beyond the country of Quvjalta, and that they would leave them : but when they thought least of it, supposing that they had now left them, they heard 15

Report # 07 
 Wednesday, December 22, 1999 - 11:30 p.m. CST 
 
 Discovery astronauts completed the two highest priority tasks of their
Hubble Space Telescope servicing Wednesday with a space walk that was the
second longest in history.  Astronauts Steve Smith and John Grunsfeld
installed six new gyroscopes and six Voltage/Temperature Improvement Kits
in the telescope during their 8 hour, 15 minute spacewalk.

Working deliberately, Smith and Grunsfeld replaced three Rate Sensor
Units, each containing two gyroscopes.  Four of Hubbles gyroscopes had
failed, making the telescope unable to point itself precisely enough to do
science since Nov. 13.  At least three operable gyroscopes are needed to
point the telescope with the accuracy required to track its astronomical
targets.

The spacewalkers also installed Voltage/Temperature Improvement Kits on
wiring from Hubbles solar arrays to each of its six batteries.  The kits
are designed to improve control of the charging of the space telescopes
10-year-old batteries.

With Hubble latched upright in the payload bay, Smith and Grunsfeld
completed all major tasks scheduled for the first of three spacewalks on
three consecutive days.  A few minor objectives, including applying
lubricant to the door of one of the telescopes bays and taking close-up
photos of the Voltage/Temperature Improvement Kits, were left undone.
Flight and telescope controllers decided to cancel the photography job and
schedule the 10-minute lubrication job for Thursdays space walk.  The
duration of the spac ewalk was second only to the 8 hour, 29 minute space
walk from Endeavour on STS-49 in May 1992.

A few minor problems helped account for the length of the space walk.  One
of the old gyroscope-containing Rate Sensor Units was a tight fit in the
box designed to protect it on its return to Earth, though eventually it
was placed inside and the lid closed.  Another involved opening valves and
removing caps on the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer,
in preparation for restoring it to operation during the next Hubble
Servicing mission.  That task too eventually was completed.

All in all flight and telescope controllers were delighted with the
accomplishments of the day.

Major tasks on Thursday's space walk by Michael Foale and Claude Nicollier
include replacement of Hubbles outmoded DF-224 computer with a more
modern unit 20 times faster and with six times the memory. They also will
replace one of Hubbles three fine guidance sensors, used to precisely
point the telescope and gather scientific data. The astronauts also may
perform get-ahead tasks, some first scheduled for a fourth space walk.
That space walk was cancelled because of delays in Discoverys launch.
 
Discovery remains in excellent condition, in an orbit with a high point of
380 statute miles and a low point of 369 miles. The next status report
will be issued at 11 a.m. or as events warrant.

Dear U.S.  TTB,

Everything else I eat and drink includes basic information like serving size and calories, but for a reason that is unclear to me, alcohol beverages do not reveal that same information. I am writing to the TTB today to urge you to allow alcohol beverage companies to include this information on their beverage packages. 

Putting Serving Facts labels on alcoholic beverages will enable consumers to make informed and responsible decisions about drinking. Consumers today are recommended to drink in moderation, yet there is much confusion as to what exactly makes up a standard drink. 

In terms of serving size and alcohol volume, it is difficult to understand how much is considered a serving given the limited information available. How many ounces of beer contain the same alcohol volume as a shot of a distilled spirit? This is hard to determine particularly since beer is not mandated to display alcohol by volume on the can.

For the benefit of the consumer, I urge you to allow alcohol beverage companies to put nutritional information on their containers. Consumers want this information and deserve to have it at their fingertips. 

Thank you very much for your consideration.


Sincerely,

           FINDING AN OPTIMAL STRATEGY FOR CONSTRUCTING THE MINIMAL SET
     OF PROFILES REQUIRED TO RECOGNIZE MEMBERS OF A DIVERSE PROTEIN FAMILY.
 
                             Anna R. Panchenko.
 
        Sequence comparison methods based on position specific score
matrices, or profiles, have proven useful tools for recognition of the
divergent members of protein families. In our previous work, we found that
profile recognition sensitivity depends on the diversity of the sequences
included in the alignment, with an optimum around 30-50% average pairwise
identity. 
        Below this range the sensitivity of profiles decreases, which
suggests a strategy for constructing the minimal set of PSSM/profiles: one
should divide a diverse family into subfamilies in order to recognize remote
family members. We tested this strategy using the SMART collection of domains
as a starting point. I am going to discuss the factors, which influence the
success of this strategy to increase the recognition sensitivity. 
        At the same time, if a profile is constructed from the alignment of
closely related sequences, the search procedure will soon reach the boundary
of detectable similarities without expanding far beyond the starting point. 
In this case two or more profiles should be merged together to form a profile
informative enough to recognize distant family members. In order to do this,
we developed a Monte Carlo based profile-profile alignment method, which can
be successfully used for profile-profile alignments and fold recognition as
well.

subcontract work done under Cooperative Agreement NA37RJ0203 of NOAA's Office of 
Global Programs, entitled "Meeting GEWEX/GCIP Measurement Needs by Adding 
Automated Measurement of Soil Moisture and Temperature Profiles to the DOE 
ARM/CART Southern Great Plains Site".  The subcontract was issued by the 
University of Oklahoma (OU) to Oklahoma State University (OSU).  The work 
involved soils characterization and independent soil-moisture measurements at 
each of 21 facilities (field research sites) in the Department of Energy's 
ARM/CART study area in Oklahoma and Kansas.  The principal investigators at OU 
were Drs. Jeanne M. Schneider and Peter J. Lamb, and the subcontractors at OSU

EVER since the great Napoleonic wars which convulsed Eu-
Nrope a century ago has the world witnessed an appeal to arms so momentous in its issues and so tremendous in its possibilities as that which has just been tried between Russia and Japan in the Far East. The great internecine struggle in the United States in the middle of the last century, the disastrous duel between France and Germany whiqh followed, and England's recently-concluded campaign in South Africa, have each, indeed, left a deep mark upon history. But while their import was at most Continental, if not local, the conflict between Japan and Russia is fraught with consequences which must inevitably be world-wide in scope. There is no civilized Power in either hemisphere whose interests are not more or less directly concerned in the questionWho shall be the dominant Power in the China Seas? For the whole course of the world's development in that quarter must depend on whether the mastery remains to the obstructive and oppressive Colossus of the North or to the progressive and enlightened island-Empire which, like Pallas in Pagan myth, has sprung fully armed from an ancient civilization into the very van of modern progress. It was no mere dynastic jealousy or racial animosity that brought about this fateful

A LITTLE TOUR IN FRANCE.
as if it had been hollowed out by the  sincerity of
early faith,  and it opens into a cloister as impressive
as itself.    Wherever one goes, in France, one meets,
looking backward  a little, the spectre of the  great
Revolution; and one meets it always in the shape ot
the  destruction of something beautiful and precious.
To make us forgive it at all, how much it must also
have   destroyed  that  was  more  hateful  than   itself !
Beneath the church of Montmajour is a most extra-
ordinary crypt,   almost   as big  as the edifice  above
it, and making a complete subterranean temple, sur-
rounded  with   a   circular   gallery,   or   deambulatory,
which expands  at intervals into five square chapels.
There are other things, of which I have but a con-
fused memory:  a great fortified keep; a queer little
primitive chapel, hollowed out of the rock, beneath
these   later   structures,   and   recommended   to   the
visitor's attention as  the  confessional of  Saint   Iro-
phimus, who shares with so many worthies the glory
of being the first apostle of the Gauls.    Then there
is a strange, small church, of the dimmest antiquity
standing at a distance  from the other buildings.    1
remember  that   after we had   let ourselves  down  a
good many steepish places to visit crypts and con-
fessionals, we walked across a field to this  archaic
cruciform edifice, and went thence to a point further

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL DYNAMICS BETWEEN OVERSTORY STRUCTURE AND GROUND FLORA 
DIVERSITY OF TWO LIMESTONE GLADES IN PIKE COUNTY, ILLINOIS.

Department. of Biological Sciences, Western Illinois University, Waggoner Hall, 
1 University Circle, Macomb, IL 61455.

Tallgrass prairie and associated communities once dominated Illinois and much of 
the Midwest.  Today, these communities are considered critically endangered, 
occupying less than two percent of their original area.  Highly fragmented 
remnants are currently disappearing, converting to closed canopy conditions 
after decades of fire suppression.  Consequently, a greater understanding of 
successional processes and their effects on grassland communities is necessary 
in order to enhance preservation efforts.  During the summer of 2001, study 
areas were established on two, limestone glade grassland communities on the 
bluffs of the Illinois River, in Pike County, Illinois  representing minimal, 
and high disturbance.  To assess patterns and effects of succession in these 
communities, tree and sapling age structure, distribution and composition were 
determined, spatial relationships analyzed, and ground flora 
diversity/distribution examined in relation to these overstory parameters.  The 
glades were found to have very different stem age distributions with markedly 
different ground flora compositions.  Stem compositions and densities within age 
classes between glades, also differed significantly.  Age histograms revealed 
recent periods of strong stem recruitment, with the highest stem densities 
occurring in younger age classes.  Preliminary analyses indicate strong spatial 
aggregation of stems occurring within multi-species age classes and within age 
classes comprised of specific species.  Preliminary analyses also indicate 
negative correlations between ground flora diversity/distribution and overstory 
stem density and species composition.  Analyses examining spatial 
attraction/repulsion between age classes, species, and age classes within 
species are currently underway.

RE:		File # S7-5-99

Dear Mr. Katz:

We, Radiant Technology Corporation (RTNC) strongly oppose the pending 
amendments to RULE 15c2-11.  We support the spirit and intentions to fight 
fraud in the micro cap markets.  Surely, some more thinking needs to be done 
to ferret out illegitimate companies from the ethically managed, small profitable 
companies such as RTC.  These proposals will result in the proverbial baby 
out with the bath water.

This full SEC compliant reporting company is a short time away from being a 
fully qualified NASDAQ Company.  Please do not indirectly cause our demise 
and shareholder loss of value, with the amendments.

Vote NO!  Find a smarter, more resourceful way to get the crooks.

Molecular Modelling and Simulation of RNA: Binding of Metal Ions and Drug=
s

Thomas Hermann
Institut de Biologie Mol=E9culaire et Cellulaire du CNRS, UPR 9002,
15 rue Ren=E9 Descartes, F-67084 Strasbourg, France

It is now fully recognized that RNA molecules intervene at all stages of
the life of a cell not only because of key sequence motifs but especially=

because of intricate three-dimensional folds. The complex folding of RNA
molecules provides the basis for specific binding of both metal ions and
small molecules. The hammerhead ribozyme, a small catalytic RNA the cryst=
al
structure of which has been solved, provides a paradigm system for the
study of metal ion and drug binding to RNA.
        Metal ions play an important role in folding and stabilization of=

RNA structure. Most classes of catalytic RNA require divalent metal ions
for catalysis. In my work, I have used molecular modelling and simulation=

methods to predict RNA binding sites for metal ions and to study their
dynamical behaviour under realistic solvation conditions. Molecular
dynamics simulations have lead to a detailed new insight into the mechani=
sm
of hammerhead ribozyme cleavage for which a specific conformational chang=
e
was proposed to precede the catalytic reaction.
        The binding of molecules to a specific RNA target might influence=

the biological activity of the RNA by preventing the binding of proteins,=

by inhibiting RNA catalysis, or by forcing an alternative conformation on=

the RNA. I have used theoretical methods to study the inhibition of
hammerhead ribozyme by aminoglycoside antibiotics. A striking
structurally-based complementarity between the charged ammonium groups of=

the drugs and the metal binding sites in the RNA was uncovered. The
covalently linked ammonium groups of the aminoglycosides are able to
complement in space the negative electrostatic potential created by a
three-dimensional RNA fold. It was suggested that aminoglycoside-derived
sugars could constitute a basis set of yardstick synthons ideal for
rational and combinatorial synthesis of drugs targeted at biologically
relevant RNA folds.

23307 U.S. Department of Transportation
Dockets
400 7th Street, SW Plaza 401
Washington, DC 20590

Dear 23307 U.S. Department of Transportation:

As your constituent, I am writing to let you know that I am very concerned 
that the federal government may potentially take away my right to choose.  
Specifically my right to fly on a great new airline that will offer more 
flights, lower fares, and a great travel experience.  

Virgin America plans to fly brand-new planes, staffed by highly motivated 
employees, with cutting edge in-flight technology to deliver more choices 
and outstanding customer service to the flying public.  Unfortunately, if 
things in Washington continue on their present path, Virgin America may 
never get airborne.  

This airline is good for America.  A study by the Campbell Hill Aviation 
Group found that if Virgin America had been flying last year, it would 
have saved U.S. consumers more than $786 million dollars - that's an 
average of $88 on every roundtrip ticket.  Virgin America will create 
1,000 new U.S. jobs in its first year and up to 5,000 within its first 
five years of operation.  These numbers mean the airline will create more 
than 50,000 indirect jobs in that same timeframe.  

I hope the DOT won't allow the best funded new airline in U.S. history to 
simply slip away.  More competition is required as airline fares continue 
to go up while value and service keep going down.  I want real choice and 
real value, and it would be a tragedy to lose this great new airline, 
especially when other carriers are talking about merging and becoming 
large mega-airlines.  Consumers deserve more choices, not fewer. 

So please tell the DOT now, as they consider Virgin America's
application and recent reply, that this airline should be approved. 
Virgin America is American-owned and run.  And the wishes of the
traveling public should not be denied.  The market should decide if the 
airline succeeds or fails.

Warmest regards,

Ralph Everett

Subject: docket number 98P-0151/CP1

To whom it may concern,
I am writing to urge you to grant the ASPCA petition to prohibit the
slaughter of downed animals - docket number 98P-0151/CP1.Animals who are
too sick or injured even to stand should not be allowed to enter the
human food chain. Not only do they pose an increased risk for bacterial
contamination, there is evidence that some downed animals may be
afflicted with a form of BSE (mad cow disease) and we must do whatever
possible to make sure this doesn't become manifest in our food supply.
It is impossible to move downed animals humanely, and it is my
understanding that they are typically pushed with tractors or dragged
with chains - inhumane processes which cause injuries ranging from
bruises and abrasions, to broken bones and torn ligaments. This is
horrible and should be subject to animal cruelty punishment, but this is
another matter. Downed animals comprise a very small percentage of
animals slaughtered, and prohibiting their marketing will cause no undue
economic hardship. 
Industry experts have estimated that 90% percent of downed animals can
be prevented with better care and handling. Removing the market for
downed animals will provide an incentive to industry to prevent downed
animals in the first place. Please do not allow this to continue.
Sincerely,
Alison Luedecke

                   In the Matter of GARY PRICE

     Gary Price, Honolulu, HI, Claimant.

     Shauntia Hart-Wright, Administrative Officer, Department of State, Washington, DC,
appearing for Department of State.  

PARKER, Board Judge.

                            Background

     Gary Price has been retired from the State Department's Foreign Service since 1995
and currently lives in Hawaii.  For ten years in a row after his retirement, the Department
asked Mr. Price to come to Washington, D.C., to edit the agency's annual Human Rights
Report.  Mr. Price performed this work as a re-employed annuitant pursuant to the
Department's While Actually Employed (WEP) regulations and was paid at a specified rate
for the hours he actually worked.  Under the terms of his employment, Mr. Price was
responsible for paying his own travel, lodging, and subsistence expenses.

     In May 2006, Mr. Price contacted his supervisor for the human rights project, who
confirmed that Mr. Price would be working on the report again and that he could go ahead
and purchase his airline ticket to Washington.  Mr. Price then purchased the ticket.

     In August 2006, Mr. Price received a letter from the Department saying that his status
under the WEP regulations was being terminated.  His supervisor confirmed that more senior
people in the Department had decided that Mr. Price would no longer be asked to work on
the Human Rights Report.

     Mr. Price asked the Department to reimburse him for the airline ticket that he
purchased.  After much internal discussion, the agency decided that it had no legal basis for
reimbursing him.  Mr. Price has asked the Board to review the agency's decision.

                            Discussion

     Although the Department did Mr. Price a disservice by telling him that it would
require his services and then reversing itself three months later after Mr. Price had purchased
an airline ticket, the agency correctly determined that there is no basis for reimbursing
Mr. Price under federal travel statutes or regulations.  Because the terms of Mr. Price's
employment under the Department's WEP regulations required that he be responsible for
paying his own travel expenses, the Department would not have reimbursed him for the
airline ticket even if it had not canceled his employment.

     In essence, Mr. Price's claim is not one for reimbursement of travel expenses.  He is
in effect asking the Department to pay damages (in the amount of the cost of his airline
ticket) for the Department's allegedly improper actions in connection with a personnel
matter.  Although we sympathize with Mr. Price, and express no opinion as to his possible
causes of action under other federal laws, we hold that Mr. Price has not stated a claim that
is subject to payment under any federal travel statute or regulation.

                             Decision

     The claim is denied.

                                   ________________________

Subject: Re: Coral Bleaching -- MALDIVES

I was in the water near Male today, inside atoll lagoon 
south end of atoll and temperature was, as near as I could 
read it, 30.8 at 10 m and surface until the end of dive, then 
it reached 31.0 - probably effect of water coming off the 
lagoon.  Given reading error on a calibrated mercury lab 
thermometer, 31 is the call. Corals here look a little better 
than earlier, but its a tough call at this point in time. Heavy 
cloud all day and strong winds and rain tonight, along with 
the Return of the Jedi (I think) on TV Maldives, all in all, 
exciting times, non?

....and a bit later on the 27th...

On the 24th in a channel on the east side of South Male Atoll, 
current running strong into the lagoon and being forced up 
over the reef, miserable survey conditions I can assure you, 
the temperature over the reef was 30.5, just beside was 30.0 
and in the turblent flow encountered in the channel when I 
swam clear of the reef, 29.5. How's that for fit?

street performances which I have yet seen. The curtain
rose and displayed a beautiful theatre in miniature, and
most gorgeously painted. The organ which accompanied
it struck up a hornpipe, and a sailor, dressed in his blue
jacket, made his appearance, and commenced keeping
time with the utmost correctness. This figure was not
so long as Mr. Punch, but much better looking. At the
close of the hornpipe the little sailor made a bow, and
tripped off, apparently-conscious of having deserved the
undivided applause of the bystanders. The curtain
dropped ; but in two or three minutes it was again up, and
a rope was discovered extended on two cross pieces for
dancing upon. The tune was changed to an air in
which the time was marked ; a graceful figure appeared,
jumped upon the rope with its balance-pole, and dis-
played all the manoeuvres of an expert performer on the
tight-rope. Many who would turn away in disgust from
Mr. Punch will stand for hours and look at the perform-
ances of the Fantoccini. If people, like the Vicar of
Wakefield, will sometimes " allow themselves to be
happy," they can hardly fail to have a hearty laugh at
the drolleries of the Fantoccini. There may be degrees
of absurdity in the manner of wasting our time, but there
is an evident affectation in decrying these humble and
innocent exhibitions, by those who will sit till two or
three in the morning to witness a pantomime at a theatre
royal.
