GLICKMAN ANNOUNCES PROCEDURAL ADJUSTMENTS FOR SOUTH DAKOTA WETLANDS

     WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 1999 -- Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman today
announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture will move ahead with
procedural adjustments in the wetland delineation process in South Dakota.  

     In May 1999, USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service issued a new
directive to bring procedures for delineating agricultural wetlands in South
Dakota into compliance with national policy, leading Glickman to order a
review of wetlands delineation procedures.

     "It is essential that the changes affecting South Dakota wetlands
delineation be scientifically based, technically correct, and legally
defensible," Glickman said.  "Findings of a national review team indicated
that changes were necessary to meet the statutory requirements for identifying
agricultural wetlands according to the wetland conservation provisions of the
Food Security Act of 1985, known as Swampbuster."  Swampbuster provisions only
affect eligibility for USDA program benefits; they do not regulate wetlands.

     "Those changes will be incorporated into the delineation process, and
NRCS will work with producers, conservationists, and our local, state and
federal partners in South Dakota to ensure that implementation is
scientifically and legally sound," said Glickman.

     USDA is committed to the protection of America's wetlands and will
continue to encourage landowners to voluntarily restore, protect and enhance
wetlands through programs such as the Wetlands Reserve Program, Wildlife
Habitat Incentives Program, Environmental Quality Incentives Program and the
National Conservation Buffer Initiative.

NASA OUTLINES PLANS TO STUDY FEB. 26 TOTAL ECLIPSE

       The Feb. 26 total eclipse will be visible from a narrow
corridor which begins in the Pacific, continues through the
Caribbean and ends off the Atlantic coast of Africa.  Much of
the south and eastern U.S. will see a partial eclipse.

NASA's plans to study the eclipse include:

     *  Researchers from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center,
Greenbelt, MD, will be among international teams of scientists
who will observe the eclipse from Curacao, Guadeloupe, and
Aruba, using solar telescopes to analyze the structure and
magnetic activity of the Sun's corona.  Scientists are
available to discuss the upcoming solar eclipse.  Contact Bill
Steigerwald, Goddard Public Affairs Office, 301/286-8955 (see
note below for live interviews on NASA TV).

     *  The NASA/European Space Agency's (ESA) Solar and
Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft will assist eclipse
expeditions from around the world by making simultaneous
observations during the eclipse that will reveal a more
complete picture of what is occurring on the Sun.  Contact Bill
Steigerwald, Goddard Public Affairs Office, 301/286-8955.

     *  The NASA/ESA Ulysses spacecraft, now in polar orbit
around the Sun, will give scientists a "birds-eye view" of huge
loops of solar material tearing away from the Sun's corona.
These ejections of solar mass can be seen from ground-based
observatories during solar eclipses, but Ulysses' orbit above
the Sun's poles gives scientists another perspective from which
to better understand these potentially dangerous storms.
Ulysses scientists are available for interviews about the
upcoming solar eclipse by contacting Diane Ainsworth in the
Media Relations Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
Pasadena, CA, 818/354-5011.


NASA TV plans the following:

     *  An eclipse preview Video File will run on NASA-TV
several times in February.  Elements in the Video File include
animation showing the path of the eclipse, some safe eclipse
viewing tips, and examples of how scientists use 'artificial'
eclipses to study the Sun's corona.

     *  NASA will offer live interviews with Art Poland of the
SOHO team.  Dr. Poland will give eclipse viewing tips & fun
facts and explain how scientists use artificial eclipses to
continuously monitor the Sun's corona.  The Live Shots are
scheduled the evening of Feb. 25 and the morning of  Feb. 26.
Contact Wade Sisler, Goddard Space Flight Center, 301/286-6256.

     *  A time-lapse movie of the moon's shadow as it sweeps
across the Earth will be taken by the GOES satellite during the
four-hour event.  If the images can be processed in time, NASA
TV will broadcast a special edition of the Video File around 4-
5 p.m. EST.

     NASA Television is available through the GE-2 satellite,
transponder 9C located at 85 degrees West longitude, vertical
polarization, with a frequency of 3880 MHz, and audio at 6.8 MHz.

BOOTS AND SADDLES.
general to leave his bed. It was growing dark, and we were in the midst of a Dakota blizzard. The snow was so fine that it penetrated the smallest cracks, and soon we found white lines appearing all around us, where the roof joined the walls, on the windows and under the doors. Outside the air was so thick with the whirling, tiny particles that it was almost impossible to see one's hand held out before one. The snow was fluffy and thick, like wool, and fell so rapidly, and seemingly from all directions, thjt it gave me a feeling of suffocation as I stood outside. Mary was not easily discouraged, and piling a few light fagots outside the door, she tried to light a fire. The wind and the muffling snow put out every little blaze that started, however, and so, giving it up, she went into the house and found the luncheon - basket we had brought from the car, in which remained some sandwiches, and these*" composed our supper.
The night had almost settled down upon us when the adjutant came for orders. Knowing the scarcity of fuel and the danger to the horses from exposure to the rigor of such weather after their removal from a warm climate, the general ordered the breaking of camp. All the soldiers were directed to take their horses and go into Yankton, and ask the citizens to give them shelter in their homes, cow-sheds, and stables. In a short time the camp was nearly deserted, only the laundresses, two or three officers, and a few dismounted soldiers remaining. The towns-people, true to the unvarying western hospitality, gave everything they could to the use of the regiment; the officers found places in the hotels.

and the Protestant Succession in his family, and likewise to the English Governrn1 so far as it is consistent w'" the spirit of riot wch reigns among them, & may be call'd rather the fault of the form of their Colony Goverinn' then of the people; the most considerate of which are said to be much tir'd of it.
5. That the unfitness of these old Charter Governm" for the Colonies when they are grown up and come out of their infancy, was I suppose the reason why in the beginning of King Williani and Queen Mary's reign the Governin' at home ref us'd to the old Massachusett's Colony to renew their Charter wch had been vacated by a judgment in the Court of Chancery in Westminster Hall in a late reign, tho' their principles and loyalty to the crown at that time greatly recommended them to its favour; but instead of that it was thought good policy to put an end likewise to the Charter Colony of New Plymouth, and to erect & incorporate the old Colonies of the Massachusetts Bay and New Plymouth, together wlh the Provinces of Main and Nova Scotia into one Province, which is now the present Province of the Massachusetts Bay, saving that the Crown hath disannex'd Nova Scotia from it, and to grant them a new Charter, wherein the Crown hath resum'd its prerogative; and this form of Governm'was as readily accepted by the People of the old Charter Colonies, who were in a great measure surfeited of their governm* and former popular privileges, then became disproportion'd to the state of the inhabitants.
The result of these observations, Sir, wch I would submit to your consideration is, that if the old Charter form of Government, such as that is wch is proposed in the Albany plan of Union, is unfitt for ruling a particular Colony, it seems much more improper for establishing a General Governm' and lm-perium over all the Colonies to be comprized in the Union.
The only material difference between an old Charter Governm' and the Albany Plan appears to be, that the latter it is propos'd that the Governour General shall be appointed and supported by His Majesty and have a negative in every Act of the Grand Council (as it is there called) whereas in the former the Governour is annually elected by the People, dependent upon them for his support and hath no negative in the Acts of Assembly.
This is relied upon as a most favourable circumstance on the part of the Crown in the following remarks, drawn up by a gentleman who had a principle hand in forming the Albany Plan, viz' ''That the Government or Constitution propos'd to be "form'dby the plan consists of two branc[h]es, aPresident Gen-" eral appointed by the Crown and a Council chosen by the " People or by the People's Representative wcb is the same thing

Subject: Short selling manipulation

Medtronic's Karl Steney's e-mail to you on 3-14-2002 is 
absolutely right.What else in this country can you sell 
that does not belong to you?

The Hedge Funds are not "speculating" that the price of 
a stock will drop, they "drive" it down relentlessly  
while their "bashers" are out in force.

Supply and Demand govern all other segments of our 
economy excepts stocks.  Massive short selling destroys 
supply and demand and benefits manipulation.

The small investor like myself has no chance against 
these tactics and you do not know which company they 
will strike tommorow.

Also, your $25,000 minimum rule puts me and other small 
investors out of business.  I believe that was the 
intent, as we are locked out of the market.

I am sure that I have just wasted my time and effort in 
complaining to you.  You have had years of complaints 
and a massive market plunge and you have done nothing 
and will do nothing but to continue as you are doing at 
my and other small investors expense.

Wiener, J. G., 1983, Comparative analyses of fish populations in naturally acidic
and circumneutral lakes in northern Wisconsin: Washington, D.C., U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, 122 p.

Abstract:

Fish populations in six naturally acidic (autumnal pH 5.1-6.0) and six
circumneutral (autumnal pH 6.7-7.5) clear-water lakes in north central Wisconsin
were studied, and characteristics of fish populations and communities in the lakes
were compared. The two groups of lakes were morphologically similar and of the
same hydrologic types, but differed substantially in pH, alkalinity, waterborne
calcium, and related chemical characteristics. Fish communities in the acidic lakes
contained fewer species, and common as well as rare species occurred with lower
frequency in the acidic lakes than in the circumneutral lakes.

Acidity, precipitation (meteorology), fishes, lakes, pollution, clarification, fresh
water fishes, mathematical models, pH, alkalinity, stresses, minnows,
invertebrates, growth, mercury (metal), calcium, abundance, density (mass,

Companies should be allowed to leave the dTC as voted on by their
stock holders. the DTC doesnt want to fix their loopholes, but,
make it more difficutl by only letting the individual
stockholders exit. that is wrong.  the DTC needs to fix it's
system that is being jerked around and loopholed by the market
makers. the dtc needs to be reformed and fixed.  the BB and Pink
sheet stocks, as well as Gray are being run into the ground by
lack of controls . the SEC should make the dTC fix the problem.
The SEC should have the same rules on naked shorting as they have
at the nasdaq the nyse and the amex.  you are allowing Market
Makers and bermuda short types, to rob the american small
business' blind by this wild west approach. if it is right for
the amex, nyxe and nasdaq, do it for the pinks, bulletin board
and gray market.  time to act. too many are into these baby
stocks since the web came into being. time to adapt to the
changes in the market and the peopl! e that demand equality under
the SEC

Dear Dr. Farber:

I believe you know a good deal about the work of

the Committee for National Health Insurance from Mrs.
Lasker and Me1 Glasser.  Now that we have had an
opportunity to meet personally in Mr. Blair's home, I want
to extend to you a very cordial invitation to join the
Committee.

Organized just a year ago, the 88 members.cf',our

group represent the medical and other health professions,
labor, management, the clergy, rural America,, youth, the
academic world -- in short, a Committee a5 broad based as
our c&ntry itself.
might see the caliber of the persons who have associated
themselves with this effort.

I attach a list of the members so that you

Our basic concern is that through universal

participation under the social insurance principle the present
non-system of health care be more effectively financed and
that through the financing mechanism encouragement be given
to sounder organization for the delivery of medical services.
We are convinced that the United States, which is spending
more dollars -- some $60 billion in 1969 -- and a larger per-
centage of its Gross National Product for health care than any
other nation in the world, can and should have more compre-
hensive health programs for all Americans than is possible in
our present chaotic organization.

With the help of an excellent Subcommittee of

technical specialists, we are in the process of working out a
program that will provide not only basic financing for compre-
hensive health services but will relate the financing to re-
organization of the dclivery system of the services.
Committee has adopted a Statement of Principles governing
the goals and general directions of its work, a copy of which
is enclosed.  These principles we believe form a sound basis
for developing an acceptable aod workable national health
insurance program.

The

-2-

      We face no easy task. But with your help and
guidance , along with that of our other Committee members ,  I
am certain we shall eventually prevail.  We intend to mount a
major and continuing program which will educate the American
people and mobilize broad scale support for the changes in the
organization and financing of our health services which the
American people need and the times demand.

The members of the Committee and I would be

very pleased if you would accept our invitation to join us in
working together on this important program where both your
knowledge and influence can help us do the job long overdue in
our country.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I would

appreciate it, if you decide to join the Committee, if you
would have your secretary send me a biographical statement
for use by the Committee.

Sincerely ,

Re: Acceleration of Periodic Report Filing Dates and Disclosure Concerning Website

     (Release No. 33-8089; 34-45741) 
     Commission File No. S7-08-02

Dear Mr. Katz:

In order to avoid being redundant, I refer you to the comment letter provided to you by Ernst & Young, LLP on the above captioned subject, dated May 21, 2002.  Baldwin & Lyons, Inc. agrees with virtually all of the comments included in this letter, particularly the comments with respect to the $75 million market cap threshold.

Our Company has a non-affiliated market cap approximately twice this threshold and, yet, we are considered to be on the low end of the "micro cap" market. Our trading volume reflects this fact and is generally only a few hundred shares on any given trading day.  Despite our size, the complexity of accounting issues within the property and casualty insurance industry (and, further, within our specialty of excess liability insurance for large fleet trucking companies) requires that we perform a significant amount of analytical and actuarial analyses af the end of the quarter and year end to arrive at reasonable estimates of loss reserves and related liabilities.  Our staff, while highly competent, is limited in size.  We simply do not have the resources of a Fortune 500 company to accommodate the proposed acceleration of reporting deadlines.  This is particularly true of the proposed Form 10-Q requirements.  

I believe that small companies operating in complex industries, such as Baldwin & Lyons, Inc., will be severely handicapped by the proposed accelerated reporting requirements.  Sacrificing accuracy for speed will ultimately not benefit any uses of financial data and will increase the likelihood that restatements of hurriedly assembled financial data may be necessary.

Please add Baldwin & Lyons, Inc. to the list of public companies which support a higher limit for the imposition of the accelerated reporting requirements.  Ernst & Young has suggested a threshold of $1 billion.  Using even half of this amount would be very helpful.  Alternatively, smaller companies ($1 billion or less in market cap) could be given a different deadline from that proposed for larger companies, but still shorter than current requirements (i.e. 40 days for Form 10-Q and 80 days for Form 10-K).

We also agree with Ernst & Young's comments regarding requirements for website access to financial reports and are essentially in compliance with these requirements at this time.

Dear Sirs or Madam:
     
We are very much opposed to the proposed rule changes that you and the sec have 
recommend.  We believe that these changes as proposed will dry up the OTC-BB and
Pink Sheet market and thus reduce the liquidity to small business in America. 
This will also severely hurt investors in that their share holder position in 
small business will reduce as there will be no market for these legitimate 
investments.

Friday, July 20, 2001, 6 a.m. CDTSTATUS REPORT: STS-104-17

STS-104 MISSION CONTROL CENTER STATUS REPORT #17



The two crews on board the International Space Station today completed 
checkout and activation of the new Quest airlock and conducted a dry 
run of the steps they will take before christening the newest station 
component.



STS-104 Commander Steve Lindsey, Pilot Charlie Hobaugh and Mission 
Specialists Mike Gernhardt, Janet Kavandi and Jim Reilly also got 
together with Expedition Two Commander Yury Usachev and Flight 
Engineers Susan Helms and Jim Voss inside Quest to answer questions 
from reporters in the U.S. and Russia.



Voss reported tracking down and sealing a minor leak discovered during 
an overnight pressure check. Air had found a path from the Equipment 
Lock segment of the new airlock to its Crew Lock, which is the 
segment the orbital construction workers will open to the vacuum of 
space when they step outside about 11:09 p.m. CDT Friday.



Flight Directors Paul Hill and Mark Kirasich talked with the crew 
about 1 a.m. Friday, going over the final details and sending up the 
good news that both the shuttle and station flight control teams 
agree all systems are &ldquo;go&rdquo; for the first station-based 
excursion out of the airlock. Lindsey sent down a video tour of the 
fully outfitted Quest module about 4:50 a.m.



The entire crew then reviewed the plan for Friday&rsquo;s five-hour 
space walk by Gernhardt and Reilly. On their third foray outside this 
mission, the pair will attach the final nitrogen gas tank to the 
airlock and climb to the top of the station&rsquo;s solar array truss 
to check on a swivel joint that allows the arrays to track the sun. 
If time allows, they&rsquo;ll also take a look a the nearby Floating 
Potential Probe that measures the plasma created as the arrays drag 
through the rarified atomic oxygen at 240 miles up.



Meanwhile, Usachev performed some periodic maintenance duties on the 
station&rsquo;s Russian systems, and helped Voss and Helms prepare 
for their work with the Candarm2 robotic arms operations related to 
Friday evening&rsquo;s space walk.



After some time off to rest up after a very busy week, the crews were 
scheduled to turn in at 8 a.m. Their alarm clock is scheduled to go 
off at 4:04 p.m.



The next mission status report will be issued about 6 p.m. Friday or 
as events warrant.

 STATEMENT  OF  CHAIRMAN  KEVIN  J.  MARTIN 

 Re:  Recommendations  of  the  Independent  Panel  Reviewing  the  Impact  of  Hurricane  Katrina  on  Communications  Networks,  EB  Docket  No.  06-  119 
 I  would  like  to  thank  the  members  of  the  Independent  Panel  for  taking  the  time  to  study  the  impact  of  Hurricane  Katrina  on  communications  networks.  I  would  also  like  to  thank 
 Nancy  Victory  for  agreeing  to  Chair  the  Independent  Panel.  We  all  appreciate  the  hard  work  that  went  into  studying  the  lessons  of  this  terrible  disaster  and  developing 
 recommendations  for  improving  our  response  in  the  future. 
 The  devastation  of  Hurricane  Katrina  highlighted  the  importance  of  telecommunications  and  media  to  our  daily  lives,  and  our  dependency  on  our  national  communications 
 infrastructure.  For  the  past  six  months,  experts  from  public  safety  organizations,  the  communications  industry,  and  public  interest  groups  have  worked  together  to  study  the 
 impact  of  Hurricane  Katrina  on  the  telecommunications  and  media  infrastructure  and  to  review  the  sufficiency  of  the  recovery  effort  with  respect  to  this  infrastructure. 

 In  its  final  report,  the  Independent  Panel  has  presented  recommendations  for  increasing  the  readiness  of  the  communications  industry,  improving  response  and  recovery  after 
 major  disasters,  enhancing  the  operability  and  interoperability  of  public  safety  and  911  communications,  and  strengthening  our  emergency  alert  communications.  I  am 
 particularly  pleased  to  see  the  Independent  Panels  recommendations  to  provide  a  Readiness  Checklist  for  the  communications  industry,  to  inform  the  public  safety 
 community  about  technologies  to  improve  the  operability  and  interoperability  of  their  communications,  to  strengthen  the  resiliency  of  Public  Safety  Answering  Points  (PSAPs) 
 and  other  911  infrastructure,  and  to  take  actions  to  ensure  the  public  gets  timely  information  in  times  of  emergency. 

 With  this  Notice  of  Proposed  Rulemaking,  we  are  asking  for  comments  and  suggestions  from  the  public  on  how  to  best  address  and  implement  the  Independent  Panels 
 recommendations.  I  look  forward  to  studying  the  Independent  Panels  report  and  to  reviewing  the  publics  responses  for  additional  follow-  up  action  so  that  we  can  improve 
 our  response  and  recovery  efforts  for  the  future.
