SOYUZ TAXI-CREW MEDIA AVAILABILITY SCHEDULED AUG. 29

     The crew that will deliver a new Soyuz crew-return 
vehicle to the International Space Station in October and 
NASA's Chief Astronaut Charlie Precourt will hold a press 
conference Thursday, Aug. 29, at 1 p.m. EDT from NASA's 
Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston. The press conference 
will be broadcast on NASA Television with multi-center 
question-and-answer capability for reporters at participating 
NASA centers.

The Soyuz 5 taxi crew includes Commander Sergei Zalyotin, 
Flight Engineer Frank DeWinne and nominated space flight 
participant Lance Bass. 

The crew is scheduled to launch Oct. 28 from the Baikonur 
Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan, to deliver a new Soyuz spacecraft to 
the space station for use as an escape vehicle, if required. 
After spending eight days aboard the orbiting research 
platform, the crew will undock Nov. 7 aboard the Soyuz 
spacecraft now attached to the Station.

Media planning to attend must contact the JSC newsroom at 
281/483-5111 no later than 1 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 
to arrange credentials. Transportation at JSC will be 
provided and media should plan to arrive at the JSC main gate 
no later than 12 p.m. EDT Aug. 29. Reporters interested in 
one-on-one interviews with Bass should directly contact his 
publicity staff, Cheryl Maisel at 310/289-6200 or Jill Fritzo 
at 212/373-6120.

Zalyotin served as the Russian cosmonaut commander of the 
final mission to the Russian Mir space station in 2000. 
DeWinne, a European Space Agency (ESA) astronaut from 
Belgium, is flying to the International Space Station under a 
commercial agreement between ESA and the Russian Aviation and 
Space Agency (Rosaviakosmos). The third crewmember aboard the 
Soyuz spacecraft is Lance Bass, a singer with the group 'N 
Sync, who also is flying into orbit under a commercial 
agreement with Rosaviakosmos.

NASA TV can be found on GE-2, Transponder 9C, vertical 
polarization at 85 degrees West longitude, 3880 MHz, with 
audio at 6.8 MHz.

Pure Transvers Optical Stochastic Cooling
-----------------------------------------

   Imagine a single pickup and two correction locations all "isochronous". The 
two correction locations have a difference of dispersion between them: e.g. 
the first has D_1=+D_o and D'_1=0; the second has D_2=-D_o and D'_2=0. The 
energy kicks of the first and second correction stations are of opposite sign 
so that the net energy change is zero, but the presence of the intervening 
energy shift interacting with the dispersion change introduces a transverse 
displacement of the particles by \Delta E \Delta D. 

The above describes an optical deflector that does not change the momentum. It 
must be used with an optical position sensitive device, of which there are 
probably many. An alternating quadrupole wiggler is one, but it is probably 
not practical. Better might be a normal wiggler in a non dispersive region 
with optical elements that shift the phase of the signal from one side 
relative to that from the other. By "side", I could mean y or y', both may be 
possible, but y would seem easier. Beam on one side generates a phase that 
accelerates in corrector 1 and decelerates in the other, generating a 
deflection one way. Beam on the other side generates the other phase causing 
deceleration in 1 and acceleration in the other, and generates a deflection 
the other way. 

The cooling functions only in one phase of one direction - as does 
conventional trasverse stochastic cooling. Of course one cannot have multiple 
samples in that phase and direction, but one could still, in principle, 
subdivide the other three. 

  Thus the energy-displacement coupling, and the requirement that dp/p D 
\approx \sqrt{\beta \epsilon} are removed. We note that the power reuqirement 
is no longer related to dp/p, but is related to D and the beam emittance. 

I am not arguing that all this is necessarily useful, but it is a possibility.

I will present several cases of "applied genomics", where comparative
studies of the microbial genomes led to some interesting enzymological
implications and/or allowed identification of novel potential targets for
antibacterial drugs. These include a) characterization of the third forms
of fructose-1,6-bisphosphate aldolase and phosphoglycerate mutase; b) a

SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY SET TO LAND SATURDAY

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- The space shuttle Discovery crew is expected 
to complete its 14-day flight to the International Space Station with 
a landing at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 11:15 a.m. EDT 
on Saturday, June 14. 

The STS-124 mission began May 31 and delivered two new sections of the 
Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency's Kibo laboratory to the station. 
During three spacewalks, the crew installed the Japanese Pressurized 
Module, or JPM, and Kibo's robotic arm system. Kibo's logistics 
module, which had been attached temporarily to the Harmony node 
during the STS-123 mission in March, was attached to the JPM. The 
flight also delivered station resident Greg Chamitoff to the outpost. 
Discovery will return with Garrett Reisman, who spent three months 
aboard the complex.

NASA managers will evaluate weather conditions at Kennedy before 
permitting Discovery to return to Earth. Saturday landing 
opportunities at Kennedy are at 11:15 a.m. and 12:50 p.m. Two hours 
after landing, NASA officials will hold a media briefing to discuss 
the mission. The participants will be:

- Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA associate administrator for Space Operations
- Kaoru Mamiya, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency Vice President
- Mike Leinbach, NASA Space Shuttle Launch Director

After touchdown, the astronauts will undergo physical examinations and 
meet with their families. The STS-124 crew is expected to hold a news 
conference at 4:15 p.m. Saturday. Both news events will be broadcast 
live on NASA Television. Media interested in participating must 
pick-up their accreditation badges on Saturday. 

The Kennedy News Center will open for landing activities at 7 a.m. 
Saturday and close at 6 p.m. The STS-124 media badges are in effect 
through landing. The media accreditation building on State Road 3 
will be open on Saturday from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. The last bus will 
depart from the news center for the Shuttle Landing Facility one hour 
before landing. For updated information about the landing, call 
321-867-2525.

If landing is diverted to one of the shuttle's backup runways after 
Saturday, media should call the Dryden public affairs office at 
661-276-3449 or the White Sands Missile Range public affairs office 
at 505-678-1134. Dryden has limited facilities available to 
previously accredited journalists for landings at Edwards Air Force 
Base. Journalists with STS-124 mission badges from NASA will be 
issued credentials at White Sands Missile Range.

Penny trading on the NYSE has substantially increased intra-day
volatility.  I don't have statistics, but it can easily be seen by
comparing pre-penny trading with post-penny trading intra-day charts.

As a result, this adversely impacts small investors because small
investors use stop orders.  Greater volatility means the stops have to
be placed at a wider range in order to prevent them from getting
triggered.  As a result when triggered, the losses are greater.
(Placing them at the same range as when volatility is lower would result
in a greater percentage of stops getting triggered, also increasing
losses.)

That is why penny trading has hurt small investors.  To save 5 cents on
the spread, the investor loses a much greater amount on stops triggered
by greater volatility.

Why is volatility greater?  It is because the smaller increments reduce
the need to bid.  On the NYSE, bids are placed at a price so one can be
the first to be executed at that price.  Others bidding at the same
price will get filled after you.  When bidders can step in front of your
bid at negligible cost, it no longer makes sense to bid.  Hence traders
simply take offers or hit bids.  As a result, bids and offers shrink in
size.  This creates volatility and sharp price drops and run ups.

In the crash of 1987, one of the complaints was that market makers would
not step up and bid for stock.  Penny and sub-penny increments removes
the incentive to bid.  This is a very bad step for the stock markets and
hurts all investors, big and small.

Oxytetracycline (OTC)is a drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 
to control ulcer disease, furunculosis and bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia in 
salmonids and to control bacterial hemorrhagic septicemia in channel catfish. 
Oxytetracycline is also approved to control gafkemia in lobsters and for marking 
salmonids for population assessment studies. The method currently approved for 
determining OTC in fish tissue is based on microbial inhibition and lacks 
sensitivity and specificity. The objective of our study was to validate a high 
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for OTC in edible fillets from 
multiple species of fish for use in a bridging study with the microbial method. 
The HPLC method will be used to conduct residue depletion studies for the 
extension and expansion of the approved uses of OTC.
The method involved extracting OTC from homogenized fillet tissue by mixing 
tissue with a solution of citric acid, sodium phosphate, and ethylenediamine-
tetraacetic acid (EDTA). Particulate matter and precipitated proteins were 
removed with centrifugation. Oxytetracycline was extracted from the supernatant 
with phenyl solid phase extraction techniques and concentrations determined by 
isocratic reversed-phase HPLC with absorbance detection at 355 nm.
Fillet tissue was spiked at nominal concentrations of 20, 100, 1000, and 5000 
ng/ml. Mean recoveries of OTC from five species of fish ranged from 83.2% to 
98.4% and %RSD ranged from 0.9% to 11.4%. Method quantitation limits for the 
five species ranged from 6 ng/g to 23 ng/g. The method proved to be sensitive, 
specific, and robust for fish species from five phylogenetically diverse 
families.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MIAMI FL
830 PM EDT SUN MAY 9 2004

.UPDATE...THE GPSMET DATA INDICATE SUFFICIENT MOISTURE FOR EAST 
COAST SHOWERS AND THIS IS ALSO BACKED UP BY THE EYW RAOB.  THIS 
ALONG WITH A STEADY EASTERLY FLOW AND SOME CONVERGENCE LINES AND THE 
FACT THAT SOME SHOWERS MOVED ACROSS THE AREA THIS MORNING LEAD TO 
THE UPDATE TO ADD LATE NIGHT EAST COAST SHOWERS.  OTHERWISE NO OTHER 
CHANGES PLANNED.

.PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...MOSTLY BENIGN WEATHER PATTERN TO CONTINUE 
ACROSS SOUTH FLORIDA FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER WEEK. SURFACE HIGH 
PRESSURE RIDGE WILL REMAIN STATIONARY JUST NORTH OF 30N AND RIDGE 
ALOFT WILL BUILD OVER THE U.S. EAST COAST. WEAK IMPULSES MAY SWING 
NORTHEAST ALONG THE WESTERN EDGE OF THE RIDGE AS IT BUILDS. THIS 
WOULD BRING THEM OVER THE EASTERN GULF AND FLORIDA 
PENINSULA...HOWEVER GIVEN SHALLOW DEPTH OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE ANY 
SHOWER/STORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE LIMITED TO ISOLATED CATEGORY OVER 
FAR INTERIOR/WESTERN ZONES EACH AFTERNOON AND/OR EVENING. A FEW 
SPRINKLES EAST COAST MAY MOVE ONSHORE FROM TIME TO TIME. MOS 
GUIDANCE LOOKS GOOD. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN JUST ABOUT NORMAL 
THROUGH THE COMING WEEK.
&&

.MARINE...WINDS WILL REMAIN EAST AT ABOUT 15 TO 20 KNOTS TONIGHT 
THROUGH FRIDAY WITH RIDGE PLANTED ACROSS THE WESTERN ATLANTIC AND 
SOUTHEAST STATES. SEAS WILL BE 4 TO 6 FEET EAST COAST THROUGH THE 
PERIOD...SOMEWHAT LESS WEST COAST AS OFFSHORE FLOW KEEPS HIGHER SEAS 
WELL OFFSHORE. MODELS DO INDICATE A BIT OF AN INCREASE IN FLOW LATER 
THIS WEEK. WILL WATCH LATER RUNS FOR CONSISTENCY.

 VOLCANOES OF THE WORLD DATA AS OF EARLY 1992

The format of this database is found in the
VOLCANOS.FMT file. A more detailed description of
the database elements (and much more information
on the volcanoes themselves) can be found in our
1981 book "Volcanoes of the World" (now out of
print), but available at many libraries; we're
working on a second edition). The book provides
discussion of the many cautions that are so easily
stripped away from an electronic database, such as
the uneveness of the historical record in
different parts of the world, or paucity of data
on the seafloor volcanism that dominates our
planetary magma budget. We hope the data meets you
needs and presents no difficulties. 

Please contact us if you have questions about the
data (202-357-2786 for Tom Simkin, 202-357-3401
for Lee Siebert, who knows the data well, or
202-357-2822 for Roland Pool, our computer
specialist). Seemingly straight- forward tasks,
such as caption wording for different volcano
sets, can be troublesome, and none of us want to
see misleading labels on the data. 

We make no charge for these data, but we do have
three requests. (1) If you find errors or
omissions please let us know, so that we can make
corrections and build a better database for future
users. Please include references, or reprints if
possible. (2) please acknowledge Smithsonian
Institution, Global Volcanism Program in any
disseminated form as the source of the data. (3)
And finally, we would appreciate copies of
whatever publications result from your use of the
database. We can try to work such references into
future editions of our publications in the hope
that it will stimulate cross-fertilization.

Auroral poleward boundary intensifications and modes of energy transport in the 
plasma sheet

Auroral poleward boundary intensifications (PBIs) have an auroral signature in 
ground meridional scanning photometer (MSP) data that appears as an increase in 
intensity at or near the magnetic separatrix. This increase is often seen to extend 
equatorward through the ionospheric mapping of the plasma sheet. PBIs are also 
associated with fast flows in the tail plasma sheet and are thus an important 
disturbance of the auroral zone and plasma sheet. We have recently used simultaneous 
auroral observations from the CANOPUS MSPs and either the Freja UV imager or the 
CANOPUS Gillam all-sky imager (ASI) to investigate the two-dimensional structure of 
auroral intensifications near the poleward boundary of the oval. We found that 
equatorward extending PBIs are either north-south (NS) aligned structures or 
east-west (EW) arcs that mostly propagate equatorward, but we have not been able to 
determine without doubt which type is the most prevalent. The different 
two-dimensional orientations for equatorward extending PBIs suggests that they may 
be the auroral footprint of two major modes of energy transfer in the plasma sheet: 
multiple, narrow, earthward fast-flow channels (associated with the NS structures) 
and sequences of azimuthally broad and primarily earthward propagating phase fronts 
initiating near the separatrix (associated with the EW arcs). We test this 
hypothesis by combining data from the CANOPUS MSPs, the all-sky imagers of the newly 
installed NORSTAR array in northern Canada which cover the poleward boundary of the 
auroral oval, auroral images from the IMAGE spacecraft, and magnetic field and 
plasma data from the Geotail spacecraft. We discuss, in particular, two events. 
First, an event from Jan 3, 2001 when multiple PBIs occurred during the long 
recovery phase of a substorm. We find that PBIs correlate well with plasma sheet 
fast flows that occur within the local time sector of PBIs. Most of the PBIs are EW 
arcs that initiate near the poleward boundary and then propagate equatorward. They 
often tilt and become approximately NS structures as they propa-gate equatorward. 
Second, an event from Jan 13, 2001 that occurs during very quiet (northward IMF) 
conditions and is not associated with a substorm. The PBIs are EW arcs and the 
ionospheric footprint of a triple flow burst in the plasma sheet. These two events 
suggest that, contrary to our previous suggestion, the same dynamics likely produce 
both EW and NS structures and that similar plasma sheet dynamics may occur both 
during the recovery phase of a substorm under southward IMF and during a quiet, 
non-substorm, northward IMF time period.

This is absolutely disgraceful.  It is patently clear that flouride in our

is dangerous to our health.  There is not a shred of evidence that fluoride 
brings any benefit through drinking water.

It is time for the FDA to stop being a puppet for the drug/chemical

Flouride was pushed on the public only for the economic benefit of the dental

Dear U.S.  TTB,

I am writing today to request that the TTB approve a proposal to allow the amount of calories, carbohydrates and alcohol per serving size to be included on beer and other alcoholic beverage bottles. This information is on everything else that I eat and drink. I would like this kind of information for beer as well.

Because this information is provided elsewhere, I believe it is common sense to allow it to be printed on a beer bottle.
Therefore, I urge you to approve this proposal. It will be much appreciated.

after a sharp contest, forced with great slaughter. The surviving
whites from Dondon took refuge in the Spanish territory.

Grande Riviere, now in the possession of the insurgents, and
abandoned to their ravages, as were the miserable inhabitants, to-
whom no assistance could be given, who, therefore, suffered every

It serves few of the purposes of history to describe the va-
rious modes of torture which occurred to the savage insurgents,
or to relate accounts of the grossest violations of virgins and preg-
nant women, in the presence of their dying husbands, or pa-
rents ; much it is to be regretted, that civilized states should ever
find it necessary to render torture of any kind familiar to vulgar
minds, for they are exhibitions that live in the memory, and steel
the heart against those affections which form the grandest boun-
dary of our nature. There is reason to fear that the perpetrators
of those horrid deeds, had been witnesses to the ridicule of

such conduct, by the godlike attributes of mercy and benevo-

and could hardly have been blowing long. They harnessed in their dogs, urged them to their utmost speed, and made for the land they had left. Too late! a yawning chasm of open water lay already between. A day was lost in frantic despair. It blew a gale, an offshore southeaster. The fog rose, the wind still from the east: the shore was gone.
The story is a wild one. They reharnessed the dogs, and turned to the west, one hundred and thirty trackless miles of ice before them. On the third day the dogs gave out: one of the lost men killed his fellow, and revived the animals with his flesh. The wretched survivor at last reached the North American shore about Merchant's Bay. Years afterward, this account came over by a circuitous channel to the Greenland settlement. He had married a new wife, had a new family, a new home, a new country, from which, had he desired it never so much, there could be for him no return.
The traditions of all the settlements have tales of similar disaster. Yet the Esquimaux are a happy race of people, happy so far as content and an elastic temperament go to make up happiness.
We left the settlements of Baffin's Bay on the 6th of September, 1851, grateful exceedingly to the kind-hearted officers of the Danish posts; and after a run of some twenty-four days, unmarked by incident, touched our native soil again at New York. Our noble friend, Henry Grinnell, was the first to welcome us on the pier-head.

NASA'S NEW NO-COST E-MAIL NOTIFIES
VENDORS ABOUT UPCOMING CONTRACTS

     NASA has taken another step forward in contracting practices 
with its new, no-cost electronic notification for vendors.  The 
service follows another recent initiative by NASA, posting 
acquisitions on the Internet.  

     For more than a year now, NASA has been posting all 
opportunities for competitive acquisitions over $25,000 on the 
Internet.  Vendors have been able to download NASA solicitations 
from the NASA Acquisition Internet Service (NAIS) website at URL:

               http://procurement.nasa.gov

     Vendors can now sign up for the types of business 
opportunities at NASA in which they are interested or the NASA 
Center with which they want to work, and relevant information is 
sent directly to their e-mail accounts.

     "We are very excited about this next step in our NASA 
Acquisition Internet Service.  This should help contractors of any 
size, anywhere, that want to do business with NASA," said Deidre 
A. Lee, Associate Administrator for Procurement.  "We've made it 
as easy as we can.  All they have to do is sign up and we'll send 
them the information," she said.

     The process is simple.  Anyone interested in receiving NASA 
procurement announcements can go to the website at URL:

               http://procurement.nasa.gov/maillist.html

     From there, companies or individuals answer a few questions, 
mainly identifying the types of contracts in which they are 
interested.  Within minutes they are on the system.  Any 
procurement announcement that matches their specific areas of 
interests will be sent immediately upon its release.  These 
announcements include advance procurement notices, solicitation 
releases, post-award notices, and other general procurement 
notices.  The e-mail also will tell them where to look on the 
World Wide Web to get the full solicitation and any other 
information available.

     The NAIS provides a host of services designed to help people 
interested in doing business with NASA.  Along with the 
procurement announcements and solicitations, the NAIS also 
provides online access to acquisition forecasts, active contract 
data, small business assistance, the NASA Federal Acquisition 
Regulations Supplement, and links to other federal procurement 
sites on the Internet.

Modeling the F2 Topside and Plasmasphere for IRI

P. Nsumei, B.W. Reinisch, X. Huang, D.K. Bilitza, and D.L. Gallagher, 


Empirical models are an important tool for the study of the different geospace
regions from Earth to sun, providing the user with easy access to a synthesis of
most or all reliable measurements from ground and space for specific parameters
and regions. This paper describes a new effort to develop a coherent model of
the topside F2 layer and the plasmasphere with the goal to improve the
representation of the topside electron density in the IRI model and to extend
the IRI description into the plasmasphere. An _-Chapman function with a
continuously varying scale-height [Rishbeth and Garriott, 1969], which we refer
to as a vari-Chap function, is used to describe the topside F2 vertical electron
density profile N(h) that seamlessly connects the ionosphere with the
plasmasphere. While the Chapman (neutral) scale-height H(h) varies only slowly
near hmF2, it increases rapidly at the O+ to light-ion transition height. A
hyperbolic tangent function is suitably representing this variation. New
plasmasphere density profile data from the IMAGE/RPI measurements and topside
profiles from the ISIS topside sounders are used to construct a continuous
profile from hmF2 to several RE altitude. A large number of ISIS-2 topside
profiles have recently become available through the TOPIST-processing of the
digitized ISIS-2 ionograms. We represent these profiles in terms of vari-Chap
functions using a scale-height function that is specified by three parameters:
the height hT and scale-height HT of the O+ to H+ transition and a shape factor
that controls the gradient of H(h) at the transition height:

H(h) = HT + [(HmHT)/tanh(b)]  tanh [(h-hT)/(hmF2-hT)]  hmF2 <= h <= 3000km

The parameters show a systematic variation with latitude. The task of matching
the topside profiles to the RPI measured profiles in the plasmasphere and polar
cap is under development.

QUESTION:
When/if a manned mission is sent to Mars, what type of people would be
needed on the mission (geologists, botanists, technicians)?? 

ANSWER from Mark Adler on May 19, 1997:
I can only guess, since who will go will depend on many factors including 
what the mission is like, what the objectives are, what is known about Mars at  
the time, what countries and/or companies are paying for it, current social  
and political pressures, etc.  However I think it's clear that those selected  
will have as broad a range of skills as possible while still being very good  
at all of them.  Those skills would include: hands-on engineering with the  
ability to understand complex system interactions and subsystem details, and  
to correctly diagnose and repair or creatively work around problems; deep  
scientific knowledge in areas such as geology, paleontology, physics, physical  
chemistry, and atmospheric science, including the design and execution of  
careful experiments; piloting skills for both eye-hand coordination and  
real-time rapid and correct decision making; and perhaps some medical skills  
for the maintenance of the crew.  The crew would likely each have a different  
mix from such a set to cover all the areas well, but any crew member should be  
able to do passable job in any area.

As important, or perhaps even more important, the crew must have superb  
communication skills and very strong interpersonal skills in order to work as  
a very tight team.  They will have to be selected as a team for their ability  
to work together, even to the extent of predicting each others actions most of  
the time.  They will have to be able to live and work together effectively  
stuck for years inside a school bus.

This Province is unhappily agitated with party Disputes; of consequence, the Conduct of particular Persons, is too frequently view'd thro' an unfavorable medium;Which now happens to be Our Case, with Respect to the small Quantity of Goods,which our Partner Mr Morgan, sent to the Shawanese Town.We esteem it our indespensible Duty to explain our Conduct in this matter, Particularly, to your Honor; as it is immediately relative to your DepartmentWe therefore pray your Patience, whilst we briefly mention it.
We assure you Sir  That our express Agreement with Mr Morgan, before He left Philadelphia, was, that all Our Goods should be transported to Fort Chartres; & none of Them sold in any Part of the Indian Country; & That those which were forwarded from Scioto to the Lower Shawanese Town, were without our Knowledge or Consent & That we were entire Strangers to the measure untill our Partner Mr Morgan, wrote us from Scioto  He was induced to it, At the earnest Solicitation of Mr Croghan.
Mr Alexander Lowry & some of the Traders at Fort Pitt, supported, we are told, by two or Three Merchants (one of whom, is scarcely concern'd in the Trade) of this City  have Petitioned Our Govenor against us,1 and have procured a Promise from Him, That if They will prove, we have sent any Goods to the Shawanese Town, He will order our Bond, to be instantly put into Suit.
If any Merit is due to Merchants, for exploring a newly acquired Country for Trade & thereby supporting the important negotiations of your Honor's agent  We humbly conceive, we are entituled to the Countenance, & Ought not to incur the Resentment, of the executive Officers of this Government  may we therefore flatter Ourselves, That your Honor will be so good, as to afford us your Protection and not suffer us to be sued, for doing an act, expressly required of us, by your Deputy.
