This is a summary of the galactic bulge observation on 10 Feb 2000
(day 2231).  The scan pattern was primarily in the east-west
direction.  There are a few interesting things to report, and I
apologize for the length of this message.

 * SAX J1808-368 has faded considerably.  I had heard reports from the
   pointed observations that the source had "gone."  In truth the
   source is there but very weak - about 5 ct/s/5PCU (2-10 keV) above
   baseline (0.5 mCrab), or around ten sigma.

   It is not clear whether this was the end of a strong outburst which
   occurred while the source was behind the sun, or some smaller
   non-outburst level of activity.

 * We observed two probable bursts (!).  Sharp outbursts are clearly
   distinguishable from a point source because we almost always cover
   the same source in multiple scans.  When a source is bright in one
   scan but not the others, then that's pretty strong evidence for a
   phenomenon lasting less than a few hundred seconds.  From there I
   can do some profile fitting, and sometimes get a rough exponential
   decay, etc.

 * One burst is probably from EXO 1722-363, seen near time 192824450
   MET (10 Feb 2000 18:20 UT).  An extended decay could be seen, which
   I was able to model with an exponential with folding time ~50 s.
   It is difficult to pinpoint the onset of the burst, but if it is
   192824430, then the peak flux was near 167 ct/s (17 mCrab) - not
   huge!

 * Another burst is probably from GRS 1747-312, seen near time
   192826450 (10 Feb 2000 18:54 UT).  This is potentially significant
   since no bursts have been seen from this source to date.  I can say
   that the position fit to GRS 1747-312 is very good, of much better
   quality than that of the nearby SLX 1744-300, from which we have
   seen bursts in the past.  There is however no evidence that either
   the SLX or GRS source has stronger-than-baseline persistent flux,
   and thus no strong evidence of enhanced accretion in either.  No
   time evolution model appears to be required, so I modelled it as a
   constant of about 380 ct/s (38 mCrab).

 * The faintness of these fluxes is worth pondering.  Even at the
   galactic center these fluxes imply luminosities smaller than
   Eddington by a factor of ~100.  However, we need to consider that
   we probably did not catch the onset of the burst in either case,
   which could have occurred 100-200 sec earlier, so I don't there are
   any terrible problems.

 * XTE J1710-281 has become detectable again, at a ~typical flux level
   of 2 mCrab.  This is welcome, as I had feared that it had
   disappeared for good.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...
.SYNOPSIS...
A COOL MIDWEST HIGH WILL RIDGE SOUTH INTO NORTHERN LOUISIANA. A WEAK
AXIS-OF-DILATATION WILL EXTEND ALONG A LINE FROM LUFKIN THROUGH
LAFAYETTE; SEPARATING FEEBLE EASTERLIES NORTH (ACROSS THE PINEY
HILLS) FROM FEEBLE SOUTHERLIES SOUTH (ACROSS THE COASTAL MARSHES).

THIS AXIS-OF-DILATATION WILL PERSIST INTO SUNDAY. FURTHER-UP, GROUP
WAVES, EMANATING OUT OF THE COLORADO ROCKIES, WILL PASS OVER THE
AXIS-OF-DILATATION DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON SUNDAY.

.DISCUSSION...
THE AXIS-OF-DILATATION WILL SEPARATE A CONTINENTAL TROPICAL AIR MASS
NORTH, FROM A MARITIME TROPICAL AIR MASS SOUTH. CONSEQUENTLY, THE
OVERNIGHT MINIMUMS WILL BE ABOUT SEASONABLE NORTH, AND A FEW
FAHRENHEIT DEGREES ABOVE-NORMAL SOUTH.

FOR SUNDAY, LIGHT SURFACE WINDS WILL PERMIT AN ACCUMULATION OF HEAT
WITHIN THE BOUNDARY LAYER. THE AFTERNOON MAXIMUMS WILL REACH THE
LOWER 90S ONCE AGAIN (A FEW FAHRENHEIT DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL); THE
APPARENT TEMPERATURES (OR HEAT INDICES) WILL BE AROUND 105 DEGREES
FAHRENHEIT.

ALSO, SCATTERED CONVECTIVE RAINS ARE EXPECTED; ESPECIALLY NEAR THE
AXIS-OF-DILATATION.

FEDERAL  MILITARY  SOCIETY.                        5
Between the two is a mixed party, preferring above
every thing else, the enjoyment of the benefits of the
Union, and making, for this object, concessions on
both hands.
' At the last Presidential election, there were four
candidates in the field ; the ballot was very full and
regular ; Mr. Lincoln, the candidate of the Republi-
can party, was elected. The Southern States then
carried into actual effect the threat which they had
long made ; and with South Carolina at the head, de-
clared for a separation from the Union. They seized
its arsenals, its forts, its custom-houses, its posts;
blockaded its garrisons ; and finally bombarded the
Federal garrison of Fort Sumter, the first act of hos-
tility of the actual campaign.
It became necessary for the Union also to take arms,
to re-establish the authority of the Constitution and
the laws. Unfortunately, if the Union is well organ-
ized to cause the arts of peace to flourish, it has the
worst possible adaptation for the direction of war.
There is wanting to it the very first instrument of a
government, an army. It lacks, besides, unity of com-
mand and strength of government. There is a super-
abundance of criticism, and of political wheel-work,
which complicate the progress of military affairs. It
is nothing surprising that the first demonstrations of the
North had been marked by reverses ; and had ended
in the defeat of Bull Run, on the 21st of July, 1861.
But the North persisted ; gave a better organization

commander of the expedition and its manager was Captain Kleinschmidt, sailor, miner, hunter, author and moving-picture man. He chartered the Abler and hired her crew, who were as cosmopolitan as it is possible for crew to bethe captain, a Swede; the mate, a Dane; the engineers (brothers) German-Americans; the cook, a " Jap "; the crew composed of one American, one Russian and five Eskimos. There were two taxidermists to take care of the birdskins, bugs, mammals, etc., collected.
Of the four hunters, who, with Captain Kleinschmidt, financed the expedition, three were from Philadelphia: Scull, our polyglot interpreter, a publisher of books; Collins, a manufacturer; and Lovering, a young man who had lived part of his life in Wyoming. The fourth, Dr. Elting, was a surgeon of reputation from Albany, N. Y. All were experienced hunters, Scull and Collins having followed trails in Africa and America, Dr. Elting in the Western States and Canada, and Lovering in the West.

ADMINISTRATIVE AND CEASE AND DESIST PROCEEDINGS INSTITUTED
AGAINST MEDA BELLE MCKINNEY

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission")
announced that it issued an Order Instituting Public
Proceedings Pursuant to Section 8A of the Securities Act of
1933 ("Securities Act") and Sections 15(b), 19(h) and 21C of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act") against
Meda Belle McKinney ("McKinney"), alleging violations of the
registration and antifraud provisions of the securities
laws: Section 5(a), 5(c) and 17(a) of the Securities Act,
and Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5
thereunder.  McKinney is a registered representative at
Innovative Consulting Services, Inc. ("ICS"), a registered
broker-dealer located in Sligo, Pennsylvania.

The Commission's Order alleges that, from 1993 through 1996,
ICS, through certain individuals, including McKinney and
ICS' owner, raised more than $16 million from hundreds of
investors by fraudulently offering to the public and selling
approximately 43 limited partnerships.  As part of this
fraudulent scheme, ICS agreed to pay investors 13% annually
on their investments.  None of the limited partnerships had
registration statements on file or in effect with the
Commission.

The Order further alleges that McKinney made
misrepresentations and omissions to investors in connection
with the offer and sale of the limited partnerships.  She
failed to disclose to investors the risks of the investment
and the use of offering proceeds.  For example, McKinney
failed to tell investors that the source of their interest
payments would be funds raised from new investors.  She also
told investors that the limited partnerships were as safe as
bank certificates of deposit, even though they were highly
risky.  The Order also alleges that McKinney profited
personally from the fraudulent scheme.

A hearing will be scheduled to determine whether the
allegations contained in the Order are true, and if so, to
determine what sanctions, if any, are appropriate and in the
public interest.

To Whom It May Concern: 

The purpose of this letter is to express my deep concern over the need for 
labeling requirements on genetically modified foods.  Bio-engineers have 
begun creating hundred of new GE crops, oblivious to human and environmental 
hazards, or negative socioeconomic impacts on the world's several billion 
farmers and rural villagers.  An increasing number of scientists have warned 
that current gene-splicing techniques are crude, inexact, and unpredictable 
-- and therefore inherently dangerous. 

Genetic engineering of food and fiber products is inherently unpredictable 
and dangerous -- for humans, for animals, the environment, and for the future 
of sustainable and organic agriculture.  Genetically engineered products 
clearly have the potential to be toxic and a threat to human health.  For 
this reason, the public deserves to be informed -- particularly by means of 
appropriate labeling -- that the food they purchase for consumption is a 
potential health risk. 

Sincerely, 

Sandra V. Gooch

                Base, Calif., workers help guide the Aura spacecraft toward the
                second stage of the Boeing Delta II rocket. After mating with the
                second stage, the fairing will be installed. The latest in the
                Earth Observing System (EOS) series, Aura is scheduled to launch
                July 10. Auras four state-of-the-art instruments will study the
                dynamics of chemistry occurring in the atmosphere. The spacecraft
                will provide data to help scientists better understand the Earths
                ozone, air quality and climate change.

Custer, T. W., and Pitelka, F. A., 1978, Seasonal trends in summer diet of the
lapland longspur near Barrow, Alaska, USA: The Condor, v. 80, no. 3, p.
295-301.

Abstract:

Contents of lapland longspur [Calcarius lapponicus] stomachs and esophagi
were sampled near Barrow, Alaska [USA], from May-Aug. in 1969, 1971,
1972 and 1973. Data from stomach contents were corrected for differential
digestion of prey items. Longspurs shifted seasonally from larval to adult
arthropods and back to larvae, responding to changes in the abundance of
these prey items. Seeds were a vital supplementary food in late May and Aug.,
when arthropods were scarce or inaccessible. One species of crane fly was the
major dietary component for longspurs during June and July. Its high
abundance and substantial dry weight per individual may contribute to the
success of longspurs at Barrow. The diets of longspurs and 4 common
shorebirds (Calidris spp.) at Barrow were similar in the range of prey items
taken except for seeds and tenthredinid larvae. Their diets overlapped closely
when feeding sites were restricted because of snow and surface water (chiefly
at the beginning of the season) and when prey was abundant in early to
mid-July. Competition is possible early in the season but unlikely in July when
surface insects are very abundant. Habitat separation and the advantages of
fringillid form apparently contribute to the success of longspors in a tundra
community of insectivores dominated by shorebirds.

report:

An intense short SGR-like event triggered Konus-Wind
at 2007-07-27 T0=24046.498 s UT (06:40:46.498).
It was also detected by INTEGRAL-SPI-ACS, RHESSI,
and Suzaku-WAM in the TRN mode.
We have triangulated this burst to Konus-SPI-ACS
and Konus-RHESSI annuli, both of which are consistent
with the position of SGR 1806-20. The Konus-SPI-ACS annulus
is inconsistent with the positions of all other known SGRs.
The Konus ecliptic latitude response indicates that the source of the 
burst is near the ecliptic plane.
Thus we believe that this burst originated from SGR 1806-20.

The burst had a duration of ~1 s.
The Earth-crossing time of the onset was 24041 s UT (06:40:41).

As observed by Konus-Wind the burst had a fluence of
9.14(-0.44, +0.36)x10^-6 erg/cm2, and a 16-ms peak flux
measured from T0-0.050 s of (1.91 +/- 0.25)x10^-5 erg/cm2
(both in the 20-200 keV range).

The spectrum of the burst (from T0 to T0+0.256) is well fitted
(in the 20-200 keV range) by the OTTB spectral model:
dN/dE ~ E^{-1} exp(-E/kT)
with kT = 21.7 +/- 1.2 keV (chi2 = 25/20 dof).

All the quoted errors are at 90% c.l.

The Konus-Wind light curve of this burst is available
at http://www.ioffe.rssi.ru/LEA/SGRs/070727_T24046/

The last burst from SGR 1806-20 to trigger Konus-Wind
was on March 26 (Golenetskii et al., GCN 6228).

in Alaska and partly in British territory. It covers an area of some 50,000 square miles. But so far the infinitely richest spot lies some one hundred miles east of the American boundary, in the region drained by the Klondyke and its tributaries. This is some three hundred miles by river from Circle City.
"We have described some of the beauties of the Yukon basin in the summer season, but this radiant picture has its obverse side.
" Horseflies, gnats and mosquitoes add to the joys of living throughout the entire length of the Yukon valley. The horsefly is larger and more poignantly assertive than the insect which we know by that name. In dressing or undressing, it has a pleasant habit of detecting any bare spot in the body and biting out a piece of flesh, leaving a wound which a few days later looks like an incipient boil. Schwatka reports that one of his party, so bitten was completely disabled for a week. ' At the moment of infliction.' he adds, 'it was hard to believe that one was not disabled for life.'
"The mosquitoes according to the same authority are equally distressing. They are especially fond of cattle, but without any reciprocity of affection. 'According to the general terms of the survival of the fittest and the growth of muscles most used to the detriment of others,' says the lieutenant in an unusual burst of humor, 'a band of cattle inhabiting this district, in the far future, would be all tail and no body, unless the mosquitoes should experience a change of numbers.'"
I am indebted to Wm. Ogilvie, Esq., for the following valuable information relative to The Yukon District.
"The Yukon District comprises, speaking generally, that part of the Northwest Territories lying west of the water shed of the Mackenzie River; most of it is drained by the Yukon River and its tributaries. It covers a distance
Overlap of the Plasmasphere and Ring Current: Relation to Subauroral Ionospheric 
Heating 

C. Gurgiolo, B.R. Sandel, J.D. Perez, D.G. Mitchell, C.J. Pollock, 
and B.A. Larsen  


The overlap of the ring-current with the outer plasmasphere is thought to play a
major role in storm-time related increases in the sub-auroral ambient topside
electron temperature. Instabilities generated within the overlap region, Coulomb
collisions of plasmaspheric electrons with the ring-current ions, and charge
exchange are all thought to work either individually or together to generate a
downward heat flux into the ionosphere to produce the increase in temperature.
Analysis of IMAGE 2D ring current and plasmasphere density maps together with
in-situ DMSP ambient electron temperature data shows that the heating generally
occurs over a small radial extent within the plasmasphere / ring current overlap
region and may be significantly earthward of the plasmapause. This argues
against collisional heat conduction as the source of the heat flux and for an
instability based process. The finding that the heating 7occurs within well
defined ratios of the cold plasmasphere to hot ring current density strengthens
this supposition.

FOR RELEASE:  October 4, 1996

RELEASE NO.:  STScI-PRC96-30

              RARE HUBBLE PORTRAIT OF IO AND JUPITER

This image, shows Jupiter's volcanic moon Io passing above the
turbulent clouds of the giant planet, on July 24, 1996.  The
conspicuous black spot on Jupiter is Io's shadow.  The shadow is
about the size of Io (3,640 kilometers or 2,262 miles across) and
sweeps across the face of Jupiter at 17 kilometers per second
(38,000 miles per hour).

The smallest details visible on Io and Jupiter are about 100
miles across.  Bright patches visible on Io are regions of sulfur
dioxide frost.  Io is roughly the size of Earth's moon, but 2,000
times farther away.

This is one of a series of images of Io taken by Hubble to
complement the close-up images currently being taken by the
Galileo spacecraft now orbiting Jupiter.  Though the Galileo
images show much finer detail, Hubble provides complementary
information because it can observe Io at ultraviolet wavelengths
not seen by Galileo, can observe Io at different times than
Galileo, and can view Io under more consistent viewing
conditions.

Codon Sequence Alignment With Physicochemical Properties

 

Abstract:

Researchers use multiple sequence alignment algorithms to detect motifs in genetic sequences and identify targets for drug development.  
Current algorithms use DNA or amino acids as the basic unit of data.  Codons have more information than either DNA or amino acids.  
For this dissertation we propose a novel three-phase approach to multiple sequence alignments of protein-coding DNA.  In the first phase, 
we determine the secondary structure assignments for each sequence.  Next, we identify highly conserved regions in the sequences to use 
as constraints.  Finally, we align the sequences as codons using contextual substitution matrices.  This alignment is constrained by 
the secondary structure elements and the conserved regions.   This approach results in alignments that are more accurate and useful 
for drug development and other medical uses.

{description}   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. At the Astrotech Space Operations
                processing facilities near KSC, workers move NASAs MESSENGER
                spacecraft into a high bay clean room. Employees of the Johns
                Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, builders of the
                spacecraft, will perform an initial state-of-health check. Then
                processing for launch can begin, including checkout of the power
                systems, communications systems and control systems. The thermal
                blankets will also be attached for flight. MESSENGER short for
                MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry and Ranging will
                be launched May 11 on a six-year mission aboard a Boeing Delta II
                rocket. Liftoff is targeted for 2:26 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, May 11.

SOUTHEAST MICHIGAN AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DETROIT/PONTIAC MI
305 AM EDT MON MAY 26 2003

...PERIODIC SHRA/TSRA CHCS BECOMING MAIN CHALLENGE...

A VERY STAGNANT WX PATTERN WILL BE SHIFTING INTO AN ACTIVE ONE THIS 
WEEK AND MAYBE BACK TO STAGNATION NEXT WEEKEND? 00Z UAA SHOWED UPPER
LOW NOW A FAR DISTANCE EAST OF CWFA...BUT MODELS STILL WOBBLE IT BACK
THIS WAY FOR TUE/WED. THEREAFTER A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES RACE INTO 
THE AREA ON NW FLOW FROM THE NRN PACIFIC...THE FIRST OF WHICH IS NOW
PROGGED INTO THE AREA WED NIGHT/THU AM...A BIT FASTER. THIS STILL
KICKS THE CURRENT UPPER LOW OUT OF AREA...BUT REALLY DOESN/T CHANGE
THE BLOCKING PATTERN APPRECIABLY...SAVE A FEW DAYS LATE THIS WEEK. 
RIDGE REMAINS ANCHORED OVER WRN CONUS AND TROFFING CONTINUES OFF THE 
WEST COAST.

WILL CHANGE VERY LITTLE IN THIS FORECAST. FOR THE FIRST FIVE DAYS. 
NOT MUCH HAS CHANGED IN MODEL PROGS SO ONLY MINOR TWEEKS NEEDED. 
THEREAFTER...THE BUSINESS OF THE BLOCKING PATTERN MORE OR LESS 
HOLDING BECOMES AN ISSUE. AFTER SVRL NW FLOW WAVES RACE THRU 
AREA...GFS NOW DROPS A BIG CHUNK OF COOL AIR DOWN FROM CANADA AS 
RATHER DEEP UPPER LOW DEVELOPS OVER THE LAKES REGION NEXT WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. CMC AND UKMET SUPPORT THIS GENERAL IDEA...BUT 
ARE NOT QUITE AS BULLISH WITH DROPPING HGHTS THAT FAR SOUTH INTO THE 
REGION.
 
GIVEN THESE ARE DAYS 6/7...NOT WILLING TO BITE HOOK/LINE/SINKER...BUT
WILL TREND SUNDAY COOLER. THIS WOULD BE A RATHER UNFORTUNATE DVLPMNT
IF THINGS SHAPE UP IN THIS GENERAL WAY...EXTENDING AN ALREADY COOL/
DAMP SPRING INTO JUNE.

AGAIN...NOT MUCH CHANGE TO GOING FORECAST W/ TEMPS PUSHING 70 TODAY
THEN DROPPING BACK 5 OR SO DEGREES ON TUESDAY WITH UPPER LOW WOBBLE
THEN EDGING BACK UP TO 70 THU AND INTO THE 70-75 RANGE FRI/SAT. BEST
SHOTS AT PRECIP WILL BE SOME SHRAS ON TUE W/ UPPER LOW...SCT SHRAS
AND TSRAS WED NIGHT/THU AND FRI NIGHT/SAT WITH NW FLOW WAVES. WE/LL
SEE HOW THINGS SHAPE UP AFTER THAT.

.DTX...NONE.

HISTORY OF SETTLEMENTS AND TRADE
book med, who, armed with the fword and the coran, had
XIX- fobdued with rapidity all the parts of fc vaft a domi-
'     ' nion, feized upon the capital itfelf.
At this period the fine arts returned with literature
from Greece into Italy by the Mediterranean, which
maintained the commerce between Afia and Europe.
The Hunns, under the name of Goths, had driven
them from Rome to Conftantinople ; and the very
feme people, under the name of Turks, expelled them
again from Conftantinople to Rome. That city, de-
ftined as it was to rule by force or by ftratagem, culT
tivated and revived the arts, which had been a long
time buried in oblivion.
Walls, columns, ftatues, and vafes, were drawn forth
from the duft of ages, and from the ruins of Italy, to
ferve as models ofthe fine arts at their revival. The
genius which prefides over defign raifed three or the
arts at once ; I mean architedure, fculpture, and paint-
ing. Architedure, in which convenience itfelf regu-
lated thofe proportions of fymmetry that contribute to
give pleafure to the eye ; fculpture, which flatters
princes, and is the reward of great men ; and paint-
ing, which perpetuates the remembrance of noble ac-
tions, and the examples of mutual tendernefs. Italy
alone had more foperb cities, more magnificent edi-
fices, than all the reft of Europe. Rome, Florence,
and Venice, gave rife to three fchools of original
painters : fo much does genius depend upon the ima-
gination, and imagination upon the climate. Had
Italy poffeffed the treafures of Mexico and the pro-
dudions of Afia, how much more would the arts have
been enriched by the difcovery of the Eaft and Weft
Indies ?
That country, of old fo fruitful in heroes, and fince
in artifts, beheld literature, which is the infeparable
companion of the arts, flourifh a fecond time. It had
been overwhelmed by the barbarifin of a latinity cor-
rupted and disfigured by religious enthufiafm. A mix-
ture of Egyptian theology, Grecian philofophy, and
