                             ISCST3 (dated 97363)

    This Model Change Bulletin documents changes made to the Industrial
Source Complex Short Term (ISCST3) Dispersion Model (see Code Changes below).
[NOTE:  New ISC3 users are urged to read ISC3 MCB#1, Amendment #1 for
important information.  In addition, this change to the ISCST3 model does
not address the anomalous behavior of the dry deposition algorithm described
in MCB#2, and does not include a revised EVENT processor (ISCEV3).]

CODE CHANGES

    Changes from ISCST3 (dated 96113) include the following:

1.  Correction to the vertical virtual distance calculation for rural
    conditions, which can affect volume and building downwash sources;

2.  Correction for area sources when CONC, DDEP, and WDEP are calculated;

3.  Correction to SUBROUTINE RSINIT;

4.  Correction to the output units label for ANNUAL average deposition
    fluxes;

5.  Correction for cases when the flagpole receptor height is above the
    mixing height;

6.  Correction to SUBROUTINE DEPCOR to ensure unlimited mixing for stable
    conditions;

7.  Change of the deposition reference height, ZRDEP, to 1.0m instead
    of 20.*Z0M;

8.  Correction to the interpolation routine used in SUBROUTINE TGQA; and

9.  Minor cosmetic changes including corrections to format statements.

Sensitivity tests performed on the correction to the vertical virtual
distance for rural conditions showed little or no affect on design
concentrations for a range of typical source characteristics, and
meteorological regimes.

    This program will henceforth be identified by its name and a Julian date,
i.e.: ISCST3 (dated 97363).  Future changes to this model will be identified
by an updated Julian date found at the beginning of the model source code
and followed by a reference to a SCRAM Model Change Bulletin (MCB#n)
which will explain the nature and contents of the changes.  All Model Change
Bulletins for this program will always be available for back reference on
this website.  In the future, notification of changes (MCBs) to this program
will be made in the SCRAM ALERTS section of this website.
This readme.txt file contains instructions for installing or updating
the avocado software. The instructions assume that you are running
from a dos shell under windows but you can create subdirectories,delete 
files etc. using windows utilities if you desire.

1. Create the directory where you want the new rate software to reside.
   If you wish to use the same directory as you did for the older versions
   you will need to DELETE all the old  files from the old directory
   before you proceed.

2. Find or create a DIFFERENT directory which you can use to unzip the 
   avoc97.zip file and hold the unzipped files until the installation
   procedure is completed.  I will call this directory d:\temp but you can
   use any drive and directory where you have enough room. Approximately
   6 megs will be needed until the installation is completed. After the
   program is installed you can free up the space by deleting the files
   in d:\temp .

3. Copy the avoc97.zip file into the d:\temp directory and unzip the files
   using pkzip or winzip. When the files are unzipped type  SETUP  
   to start the installation.

4. Answer ok to the first menu if you have stopped all other applications.

5. In the second menu be sure to change the directory to the directory
   you specified in step 1 before proceeding.  To change the direcory
   click on the change directory 'button'.  From the resulting window 
   you can either type in the path and directory or browse with the mouse 
   until you find the desired directory.  If you browse you must double click
   to choose the appropriate directory.  Click on ok to proceed.  The second
   screen should now list the new directory as the install directory. If it
   does click on the computer screen icon to proceed.  If not go back to the
   change directory window and retype the appropriate directory.

6. You should be done. The avcrev97 program should be added to your programs.
   You can also start the program from the dos window by changing to 
   the resident directory specified in step 1 and typing    AVCREV97 .

 Dans Je second cas, il est certain que si l'agence executive
veut braver l'immense cri de rprobation qui s'lverait contre
elle, la grance proteste nergiquement contre une semblable

SEPARATE STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER
KEVIN J. MARTIN

RE:	Revision of Part 15 of the Commissions Rules Regarding Ultra-Wideband 
Transmission Systems, First Report and Order (ET Docket No. 98-153-).

Spectrum management decisions are always complex and challenging.  In an 
environment where the amount of unencumbered spectrum is decreasing while demand 
continues to grow, it is even more critical we make interference and sharing decisions 
that do not waste this precious natural resource.  Inevitably, we will depend more and 
more on sharing the spectrum currently available to avoid such waste.  Sharing decisions 
are made particularly difficult in the context of the fiefdom mentality that seems to 
characterize players who fervently guard their spectrum turf, regardless of whether 
additional use can be accommodated.  Unfortunately, the result is often unrealized 
potential that can never be recaptured.

I am excited that ultrawideband technology, which operates at powers 10,000 
times lower than PCS handsets, will allow us to take sharing to new levels, and help 
avoid such waste.  These sophisticated applications can potentially co-exist with 
spectrum users in any frequency, while promising a host of exciting military, public 
safety, medical and consumer uses.  Firefighters, police officers and emergency personnel 
can make use of this technology to detect and image objects that are behind walls, buried 
underground or even inside the human body.  Automotive applications such as collision 
avoidance and improved airbag mechanisms will have a direct consumer safety impact.  
Consumers also stand to benefit from enhanced laptops, phones, video recorders, and 
personal digital assistants that can wirelessly send and receive streams of digital video, 
audio and data.     

Most importantly, ultrawideband challenges the notion that use of particular 
frequencies or bands is necessarily mutually exclusive.  In defiance of our traditional 
allocation paradigm that often forces us to pick winners and losers in the face of 
competing demands, this technology seems to allow more winners all around.    

I am disappointed that we did not, at this time, adopt more flexible limits that may 
have allowed for even more widespread use of this technology.  I look forward to re-
examining the technical parameters established in this order once we have more data that 
will address the interference concerns expressed by NTIA.    

I am optimistic that future technological developments will provide the 
Commission with more such opportunities to insist on increasingly efficient use of 
current spectrum.  Ultimately, the amount of available spectrum and our ability to use it 
is perhaps limited only by technology.  Today, however, we must act rationally to make 
the best choices within the spectrum constraints that face us now.
Minutes of the Feb 18, 2005 Tevatron Dept Meeting

1. Dept news: a) Vladimir overviewed Tevatron progress since before FY04
shutdown and presented next steps to improve luminosity (more protons,
octupoles at LB, working point optimization in stores, 28 cm beta^*, no
E17 FW at 150, IP separation tuneup) and anticipated diagnostics
improvements. He thinks L_cdf=1.2-1.3e32 possible by May'05. Details in
doc-1585; b) CDF responded that they do not like the idea of 33x33
operation with 23 bucket spacing (though still interested to see results
of appropriate beam studies).

2. Ron Moore on operations: only 4 stores (due to MI and AP1 line
problems), L btw 58 and 76e30 (never shoot from big stack+stash), one
store lost because of opened D0 door; lifetimes as usual (10 hrs
lumi-lifetime); 9 hrs of HV separator conditioning at 140-150kV (while
waiting for beam); CDF hall temperature change during AC work resulted in
significant (~mm) orbit move in #3986.

3. Rob Kutschke presented beautiful TBT (turn-by-turn) data from new BPMs
at A3:  it works at injection and by request, 8192 turns; synchrotron
lines, betatron lines, 15 HZ noise, Horz-Vert coupling and long bunch shape
oscillations are seen well; resolution of about 0.3 um /sqrt(Hz), details
in doc-1583.

4. XLZhang analyzed WP scan data at the end of store and showed
attractive proton tunes at 0.588-0.592 where losses are smaller than at
the current WP of ~0.579; major resonances seen well, too.

5. Vladimir pointed out that octupoles make 21MHz Schottky tune lines as
wide as 0.0008 (compared with 0.0001 w/o them); he also noted that spectra
at HEP are asymmetric - as expected for beam-beam interacting particles.

6. Vic Scarpine and Jean-Paul Carneiro looked in TBT horz motion at the end
of store #3972 with use of the best digital scope - and were unable to
detect Schottky lines even with beam excitation by vertical tickler...
need new insight.

7. Tan started reassembly of his TuneTracker - the system tracks tune at
150; many action items for near future (e.g. he will prove that TT is
completely safe - no emittance growth - and can be used parasitically in
real stores).

8. Paul and Ezio Todesco analyzed 21MHz Schottky signals (acquired by
Paul's DAQ) and found that with 50-sec average they can correctly
calculate chromaticity with uncoalesced beam by comparing amplitudes of
central line and synchrotron sidebands. Caveat - it does not work with
octupoles as spectra are quite distorted (theory to be revisited).

QUESTION:
If a 35 mph wind is blowing on Mars, what would it "feel" like to an
observer? I heard a commentator say that the atmosphere of Mars was 1/10
that of Earth's. I assume that means 1/10 as dense. Would the corresponding
wind "feel" 1/10 as strong? Can the wind on Mars move rocks?

ANSWER from Mary Urquhart on July 17, 1997:
Actually, the density of the Mars atmosphere is only about 1/100 of the
Earth's.  How a wind "feels" to an object in its path is dependent on the
density of the wind (the number of molecules per unit volume) and the
velocity of the wind.  The answer to your question depends in part on what
you mean by how the wind would "feel".

The momentum of the wind is the density (really the mass of the molecules in
the wind added together) times the velocity of the wind. So, an object on
Mars will encounter wind with 1/100 the momentum of wind on the Earth
traveling at the same velocity.  That means the wind on Mars has to be
traveling a 100 times faster than the wind on Earth to have the same
momentum.

However, the kinetic energy content of the wind is dependent on the velocity
of the wind squared (or K.E. = (M x V x V)/2 ), so the wind on Mars only has
to travel about 10 times as fast to make up for the difference in density.

ANSWER from Jim Murphy on July 15, 1997:
The wind on Mars is not "strong" enough to move rocks on the surface. Even
though winds on Mars can probably reach large speeds, the atmospheric
density is so low, that the force the wind can impose on a rock is quite
small. For instance, a wind of 10 meters per second (about 20 miles per
hour) here on Earth produces a force which is four times stronger than does
a 50 meter per second wind (a bit more than 100 miles per hour) on the
surface of Mars. So, since a 20 mile per hour wind here on Earth does not
generally move rocks about on the surface (though it does raise dust), the
winds on Mars don't move rocks on the surface either.

Your question is a terrific one, and offers a great chance to show the
differences between Earth and Mars.

ANSWER from Mike Mellon on November 19, 1997:
The force of drag caused by wind, that an object the size of a person would
experience, is proportional to the gas density and the wind velocity squared
for both Mars or Earth atmospheres. While the pressure at the surface Mars
is 168 times smaller than at Earth's surface, the density of the atmosphere
at the surface of Mars is only 81 times smaller than Earth's. Therefore, to
"feel" a breeze on Mars of the same force as on Earth, we would require 9
times the wind velocity (square root of 81). For example, to "feel" a light
breeze of about 10 miles/hr on Earth, would require hurricane speed winds on
Mars of 90 miles/hr (but not hurricane force).
GOLD MINES OF THE PECOS AND THE GILA.
How we envied the careless buoyancy of the released stage, passenger, happy in the prospect of refreshment and rest, and caught at any snatches of intelligence of the outer world his gay loquacity might let fall! But above all, if he came from . some distant country like Texas and Mexicowhich were then the enchanted lands of our dreamswe watched him with awe and wonder, hung upon his words with a feverish and devouring credulity, treasuring everything as " food for parlance " with our secret thoughts.
It was thus there came back suddenly into our midst a young man whom I remembered well from my earliest childhood; but whom, since his unaccountable departure years before, we had almost learned to consider as among the dead " who make no sign." He was not a person to be thought of for his own sake, for he was a harsh, ignoble, gawky brute, with desperately freckled face, hirsute hands, and huge, matted masses of fiery red hair. As a "big boy," alias a grown-up young man, he had been the dreaded tyrant of the village school; for, as he seemed incapable of acquiring even the rudiments of learning, he took a sort of stolid and malignant pleasure in torturing those whose perceptions were quicker than his own. Many a savage blow and ruffianly insult did we have to endure from him uncomplainingly; for, when brought to account, the wretch, with an abject cunning, would unblushingly lie himself free. It caused a general feeling of relief to us all, when the young man's father, wearied with his hopeless stupidity, at last took him from school and placed him with a merchant, to learn, if possible, how to retail " dry goods." But even this experiment upon his availability proved a failure.
The fellow was in heart, soul, and body, a ruffian : though the story went, that even he, uncouth as he was, had succumbed to the tender passion. The sentimental spinsters of the village declared, with a sigh, that it was for unrequited love of one of their venerable order, who was only twenty years older than himself, that the inconsolable swain had mysteriously made away with himself; while others, who looked at facts through an atmosphere something less rosy-tinted, hinted rather at a bereaved cash drawer with which he had been too familiar.

MARCH 2008 CAPPED UNIVERSAL SERVICE HIGH-COST SUPPORT FOR COMPETITIVE 
ELIGIBLE TELECOMMUNICATIONS CARRIERS
WC Docket No. 05-337
CC Docket No. 96-45
On May 1, 2008, the Commission released an order adopting an interim, emergency cap on the 
amount of universal service high-cost support that competitive eligible telecommunications carriers 
(ETCs) may receive.1  Specifically, as of the effective date of the Interim Cap Order, total annual 
competitive ETC support for each state is capped at the level of support that competitive ETCs in that 
state were eligible to receive during March 2008 on an annualized basis.2 The Interim Cap Order became 
effective on August 1, 2008.3
Information regarding competitive ETCs March 2008 high-cost support is available on the 
Universal Service Administrative Companys (USAC) website.4 Competitive ETCs should confirm their 
March 2008 high-cost support amount information with USAC and file any corrections on or before 
December 31, 2008.  Competitive ETCs may send questions or inquiries concerning their March 2008 
high-cost support information to USAC at CETCCap@usac.org.  To provide certainty regarding the 
amount of high-cost support available to competitive ETCs under the cap in each state, after December 
31, 2008, USAC will not accept changes from competitive ETCs regarding the data on which their March 
2008 high-cost support is based, absent grant of a waiver of this deadline by the Commission.

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

To whom it may concern:

Please keep the wishes of the consumer in mind as you create regulations on
GE foods.  It is absolutely beyond belief, whatever members' personal
interests may be, that they would feel that they can violate consumer wishes
with such impunity.  This is a democracy, and if attention is only paid to
financially powerful special interests you must expect an enormous backlash.
Please note:

* The FDA should require mandatory pre-market comprehensive
  environmental review of GE products.

* The FDA should require mandatory pre-market long-term health
  testing.

* The FDA MUST require mandatory labeling of GE products.
  Whatever the FDA, led by its biotech allies, believes, it is not up to
them to choose for us.  Rightly or wrongly, consumers have to be allowed to
make their own choices.

* The FDA MUST end its cozy relationship with the industries
  it purports to be regulating. The appearance of conflict of interest is
unbelievable, and totally undermines the credibility of the FDA.  If the
conflict is not there, avoid the appearance.

Sincerely,

Linda Ruth
QUESTION:
What are the chances that life on Earth started from a meteorite from Mars
or some other place that already contained living organisms? 

ANSWER from Cathy Davis on December 11, 1996:
It is certainly possible that life on Earth was seeded by extraterristrial 
life.  Did life originate on Earth or did it come from somewhere else? 
We would like to find out for sure.  But we need more information.
This is one reason why we would like to explore Mars for signs of life. 
If we found Martian life, we could compare it to our life on Earth
and help answer your interesting question.

ANSWER from Jack Farmer on June 23, 1997:
We have good reasons to believe that Mars was much more like the Earth very
early in its history, with a denser, warmer atmosphere and liquid water at
the surface.  The most compelling support for this early clement environment
are the large channel networks found in the ancient cratered highlands of
Mars which appear to have been carved by running water.  With liquid water
environments, Martian life is a distinct possibility.

The transport of living organisms between planets (collectively known as
panspermia) as a result of impact ejection has been postulated for a long
time.  Ejection by volcanic eruption has not.  The main difficulty with such
ideas is that, although we know that materials are in fact exchanged between
the planets (e.g. Earth and Mars), we have no evidence whatsoever that
living organisms can survive impact and the prolonged transport (tens of
millions of years) through the cold vacuum and high radiation environment of
interplanetary space with subsequent impact onto another planet's surface. 
There is much to be learned and tested before these ideas can be evaluated
any further.  In the meantime, panspermia simply remains in the realm of
speculation. Intriguing, but still unproven!

nines the place where martyrdom has been suffered. These-Indians possess neither gold nor silver, and still less clothing, for they go almost naked, wearing only a sort of apron. The dress of the men consists of braided palm-leaves, and that of the women of moss, which grows on trees, and somewhat resembles   wool.     Their   common   food   consists  of   fish,
to be submerged in many places ; nevertheless, he took possession of the country in the name of his Majesty, and gave it the name of Bay of fias-Foitde. From thence he sailed ten leagues further to the east, where he discovered a bay which he named Filipino.* it being the largest and most commodious bay on the coast. The entrance is in 30^ degrees ; and on entering the bay, he passed the point of an island [now called Santa Rosa] seven leagues long, and steered E. S. E. On the other side of the bay lies the mainland, which is, perhaps, half a league wide from point to point. Of all the discoveries made from east to west, there is no bay so accessible and commodious as this. The bottom is of mud, and the harbor is from four to five fathoms deep at low tide. The channel is three to four fathoms deep, and at high water near one fathom more. The climate is very healthy, and similar to that of Spain. It abounds in all kinds of fish and oysters. The pine forests are extensive, and can be used for ship-building. There are, besides, live oak, cypress, ash, palmetto, laurel, cedar, and other trees, one of which yields a fruit resembling the chestnut. All of these trees commence to grow near the shore, and extend for many leagues into the interior of the country.
Small rivulets of water fall into the bay, where there is a large opening which appears to be the mouth of a great river. While in this bay, he went to examine the water on the north side, where the trees are not so dense, and where cavaliers might hold their tournaments, and find grass for their horses. In the rear of this bay, in an easterly direction, are high hills of a reddish clay, from which earthenware can be maanufactured.    Here can at all times be seen
* The present Bay of Pensacola, sometimes called by the Indian name, Ochuse [Hack' Us/ti, Choctaw), or Uchuse by Spanish navigators in the sixteenth century. It was discovered by Maldonado, one of De Soto's officers ; and is about eleven miles from the Gulf of Mexico.

Report No. DC 95-126       ACTION IN DOCKET CASE           October 10, 1995

          COMMISSION ORDERS THREE INDIANA AND FOUR MISSOURI RADIO
               STATIONS TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THEIR LICENSES/   
       PERMITS SHOULD NOT BE REVOKED; SCHEDULES REVOCATION HEARING 
                          (MM DOCKET NO. 95-154)

     The Commission has directed Contemporary Media, Inc. (CMI),
Contemporary Broadcasting, Inc. (CBI), and Lake Broadcasting,
Inc. (LBI) to show cause why the licenses and/or construction
permits  for the following radio stations should not be revoked,
and LBI's pending application for a new FM station at Bourbon,
MO, should not be denied at a scheduled revocation hearing.

     The stations are: WBOW(AM), WBFX(AM), and WZZQ(FM), Terre
Haute, IN, licensed to CMI; KFMZ(FM), Columbia, MO, and KAAM-FM,
Huntsville, MO, licensed or authorized to CBI; KBMX(FM), Eldon,
MO, and KFXE(FM), Cuba, MO, licensed or authorized to LBI.

     Michael Rice is the 100 percent owner of CMI and CBI and the
67.5 percent shareholder of LBI.  Rice is also the President,
Treasurer and Director of all three licensee corporations.  On
August 31, 1994, Rice was convicted of 12 felony counts of
sodomy, sexual abuse, and sexual assault of five children ranging
in age from 12 to 16, over the period from 1985 to his initial
arrest in 1990.

     Based on its Policy Regarding Character Qualifications in
Broadcast Licensing, the Commission has initiated revocation
proceedings on the following issues:
 
     1)   To determine the effect of Michael Rice's convictions
on the basic qualifications of CMI, CBI, and LBI;

     2)   To determine whether the licensees misrepresented to
the Commission that, subsequent to his arrest, Michael Rice has
been excluded from the management and operation of the radio
stations; 

     3)   To determine whether Michael Rice has engaged in the
unauthorized transfer of control of CMI, CBI, and LBI; and,

                                  -more-

                                    -2-

     4)   To determine, in light of the evidence adduced, whether
CMI, CBI, and/or LBI, possess the requisite qualifications to be
or remain licensees of their respective radio stations.

     If it is determined that the hearing record does not warrant
an Order revoking the licenses of CMI, CBI, and LBI for their
respective stations, the Commission will determine whether a
forfeiture in an amount up to $250,000 should not be issued.

     Action by the Commission September 29, 1995, by Order To
Show Cause and Notice of Apparent Liability (FCC 95-410). 
Chairman Hundt, Commissioners Quello, Barrett, Ness, and Chong.

consequences to the public are not to he slighted, as we may be led into a general quarrel through their means. The Indians in the part adjacent to Michilimackinac have been treated with at a very great expense for some time previous.
" Major Rodgers brings a considerable charge against the former for mediating a peace between some tribe3 of the Sioux and some of the Chippeweighs, which, had it been attended with success, would only have been interesting to a very few French, and others, that had goods in that part of the Indian country, but the contrary has happened, and they are now more violent, and war against one another."
Though a wilderness of over one thousand miles intervened between the Falls of St. Anthony and the white settlements of the English, he was fully impressed with the idea that the state now organized under the name of Minnesota, on account of its beauty and fertility, would attract settlers.
Speaking of the advantages of the country, he says that the future population will be " able to convey their produce to the seaports with great facility, the current of the river from its source to its entrance into the Gulf of Mexico, being extremely favourable for doing this in small craft.
