without having known them, and have been killed. This happens sometimes because they do not love their husbands, at other times to do themselves honor, for when they have children immediately at the end of nine months, it is a matter of reproach when they quarrel, to say that they loved their husbands before marrying them, since they had borne children so soon. I have known one woman who assured me that she and her husband had been six months together without having intercourse. When such accidents occur, these women are to be pitied, for the relatives of the man are always reproaching her with his death. They dare not comb their hair, nor be present at any dance, still less can they marry. They are obliged to live very quietly in spite of themselves, and often in shedding many tears, until the relatives are finally inspired with pity. The sister is the one who combs her, and who urges her to marry if she finds some suitor. To show them the regret that she feels and her gratitude toward them, she must remain a year without marrying. If, unhappily for her, she were to do so before it was allowed, the relatives of the deceased would take her scalp

Re: File Number SR-NYSE-99-47   NYSE Rule 432
     
Dear Secretary:
     
I am a 53 year-old man close to retirement after working essentially since I 
have been 14 years old.  I am against NYSE Rule 431 which purports to reduce 
risk to all parties involved in the activity generalized as "day trading." 
Have I seen risk with finances?  Yes, which one of us at my age can say we 
have lived a completely safe and secure life financially?  If one has, my 
guess is financial success is not included in with that life.
     
Our constitution does not speak of safety, it speaks of freedom.  Why should 
one be in a $25,000 club to participate.  Is this a rich man's club where 
the little man is not allowed? Surely, your intentions are good.  I am not 
writing to malign your intent, but to challenge your reasoning.
     
The daring individual will mortgage his house to try to rise up to meet a 
requirement which encumbers much more risk than a mere $2000.  Which one of 
us has taken a chance to be returned to a sober reality when a lot less than 
$2000 was at stake.  Please, let me fail with $2000 instead of $25,000. 
Margin accounts should not be restricted either.  Allow me to margin my 
funds.  I do not want to have to mortgage my house to have enough funds to 
successfully trade.  I would rather risk my account equity as I learn to 
trade responsibly.
     
Ah yes, the liability to others.  Although I feel I have the responsibility 
for my own funds in managing risk, our litigious population can be a bother. 
Therefore, I would support an educational requirement such as a reasonable 
test based on a simple course.  No, I would not support experience 
requirement with a firm for that merely excludes those who should have the 
opportunity to trade.
     
One can go so far in the protection of others before it oppresses the right 
to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Please maintain the gate, 
and yes, you have done a good job.  However,  have the wisdom to reject rule 
431 and keep the gate open for us, the little people.

all precedent, and all example, towards the sources of her great rivers; and these again, mostly in their general course, being from south to north, have their origin in that great back-bone of Asia, which divides the waters of that continent between Northern and Southern Asia.  The commerce, then, .of this vast country, seeking a channel of communication with other countries and nations, must, of necessity, seek    the sources of new rivers for an outlet; and in case of failure to meet the required facilities of water communication, must content itself with the more difficult and costly route by land, the only resort left to it. Hitherto, the close and jealous policy of ihe people inhabiting the more southern portions of Asia, has forced the trade of that country westward, in order to seek an outlet. This route, which would be absolutely impracticable under any other than the government of Russia, has, under the fostering and thoughtful wisdom of that government, become one of the greatest commercial arteries in the world.
Concentrating, as it does, at Kyachta, where it gathers the trade of Manchooria, Mongolia, and China, settling the balances, and arranging the exchanges, it then flows westward in a steady stream by land and by water, often slow, tedious, and expensive, until it becomes lost in the great ocean of European-Russian commerce at NijneNovgorod ; there it commingles, increasing and perfecting that immense system of Russian inland commerce flowing towards the imperial marts of Moscow and St. Petersburg.
This trade, although great, is absolutely one of complete necessity, and flows only in a necessitous and re-

Title: On the trail of the third gene for hereditary 
suscepitbility to breast cancer.

Speaker: Richard Desper

Abstract:

A significant proportion of familial breast cancers cannot be
explained by mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes.  We applied a
strategy using mathematical models on CGH data to identify
early somatic genetic deletions in tumor tissues, followed by
targeted linkage analysis.  This two-step process, using CGH
data to generate hypotheses for targeted linkage, had previously
been used to detect the locus for Peutz-Jeghers' cancer syndrome.

CGH, comparative genomic hybridization, is used to detect which
chromosomal regions witness over-duplication of oncogenes, or the loss
of tumor suppressor genes.  I will discuss the heterogeneous
nature of CGH data and show how simple modelling borrowed from
phylogenetics can be quite useful in providing a simple way to express
first-order dependencies in the data.  This modelling provides a
coherent way to consider the likely relative order of CGH events
and can point towards the discovery of tumor subclasses.  In particular,
it can be useful as a first step in hypothesis formulation, directing
the researcher towards specific regions in the genome which may be of
interest for targeted, closer analysis.  

These methods were used as part of a study of 61 breast tumors from 37
breast cancer families with no identified BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.  The
methods discussed, along with targted linkage, provided several lines of
evidence indicating that a third breast cancer gene is located on chromosome
13.

DA JUL 03
To:  Mr. H H Sherley

I have never suggested that Jensen should be
dismissed, nor that his books should be aup-
pressed!  I think Professor Jensen himself has
a rather clear idea of my position about his
work, and you might consult him directly whether
he thinks I am trying to suppress it.

I have criticized efforts to present the
problem of black disadvantage as if there were
reliable evidence that this generally has a
genetic basis.  Unlike many of my colleagues
I do not say that it has been scientifically
determined that the differences in performance
are entirely environmental.  So I have pointed
out all the problems of reaching reliable scien-
tific conclusions, and my opinion is that the
, question is undecideable: no kind of evidence
that is likely to be produced in the near fu-
ture is going to shake anyone's convictions
or previous prejudices.

Then I have said that it is vicious to drag
such a vague and undecideable area of genetic
science into the crossfire of racial antagonism.
It will only hncrease the mntual hatred of
blacks and whites, and a scientist ought to be
very cautious about advertising his conclusions
if they are inherently so uncertain, and can
have such a harmful consequence. I do not
criticize I.Q. tests so much as the idea that
we understand the environmental factors tha,t
can influence I.Q. or that we have done enough
PLANT COMMUNITIES IN RIPARIAN WETLAND MEADOWS DOMINATED BY REED CANARY GRASS

WI 54602.

Reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea) is known to aggressively invade and 
alter the composition of vegetation in wetland communities in the Upper Midwest.  
However, plant species that can tolerate reed canary grass dominance and 
environmental factors potentially associated with greater reed canary grass 
dominance are not well known.  Our primary objective was to describe plant 
species associations in wet meadows with a range of reed canary grass dominance.  
In addition, we examined whether certain environmental nutrients were associated 
with occurrence of reed canary grass in these communities.  Thirteen riparian 
wet meadows sites (4.5-16.5-ha) located within 75-km of La Crosse, WI were 
sampled in early to mid-August 2002, and aerial cover of plant species at points 
within each site (n=33-89) was estimated.  Concentrations of selected soil 
nutrients (NO3, NO4, total nitrogen, and available phosphorus) were sampled at 
three to nine randomly selected points at each site (ca. one sample per 1.5 ha).  
Vegetation and nutrient data were analyzed using non-metric multidimensional 
scaling, which is a multivariate ordination technique commonly used to explore 
relationships between community composition and environmental gradients.  A 2-
axis ordination accounted for most of the variation in the plant species data 
(cumulative r2 > 0.90) and separted sites into two distinct clusters.  Cluster 1 
sites were characterized by relatively high coverage of RCG and taxa (e.g., 
Sagittaria latifolia and Sparganium eurycarpum) with relatively strong wetland 
indicator status (classified as obligate wetland or facultative wetland 
species).  Cluster 2 sites were characterized by relatively low coverage of reed 
canary grass and taxa (e.g., Amphicarpaea bracteata, Eupatorium perfoliatum, and 
Baptisia alba) with lower wetland indicator status (classified as facultative 
wetland, facultative, or facultative upland species).  In addition, ordination 
axes show generally weak associations with individual soil nutrients (r2 < 
0.20).  Our results show that RCG greatly affects wetland vegetation patterns, 
but also that several species, e.g., Polygonum amphibium, Sagittaria latifolia, 
and Sparganium eurycarpum, may be capable of attaining relatively high coverages 
in sites dominated by RCG.  This study also suggests that the abundance of RCG 
is positively correlated with a moisture gradient and that soil nutrients may 
not be not strongly associated with vegetation patterns in these study sites.

righted within, and not without the Union. It
would have been well for her sister section of
the South, so loyal in 1815, if forty-five years
afterwards she had spared herself the neces-
sity of learning tbe same lesson at an infinitely
greater cost.
The truth is that it is nonsense to reproach
any one section with being especially disloyal
to the Union. At one time or another almost
every state has shown strong particularistic
leanings ; Connecticut and Pennsylvania, for
example, quite as much as Virginia or Ken-
tucky. Fortunately the outbursts were never
simultaneous in a majority. It is as impossible
to question the fact that at one period or an-
other of the past, many of the states in each
section have been very shaky in their allegiance
as it is to doubt that they are now all heartily
loyal. The secession movement of 1860 was
pushed to extremities, instead of being merely
planned and threatened, and the revolt was pe-
culiarly abhorrent, because of the intention to
make slavery the " corner-stone " of the new
nation, and to reintroduce the slave-trade, to the
certain ultimate ruin of the Southern whites ;
but at least it was entirely free from the
meanness of being made in the midst of a

Three views of the full disk of Jupiter's volcanic moon, Io, each shown in
natural and enhanced color. These three views, taken by Galileo in late June
1996, show about 75 percent of Io's surface. North is up. The top disks are
intended to show the satellite in natural color (but colors will vary with
display devices) while the bottom disks show enhanced color (near-infrared-,
green-, and violet-filtered images) to highlight details of the surface.
These images reveal that some areas on Io are truly red, whereas much of the
surface is yellow or light greenish. (Accurate natural color renditions were
not possible from the Voyager images taken during the 1979 flybys because
there was no coverage in the red.) The reddish materials may be associated
with very recent fragmental volcanic deposits (pyroclastics) erupted in the
form of volcanic plumes. Dark materials appear in flows and on caldera
floors. Bright white materials correspond to sulfur dioxide frost, and
bright yellow materials appear to be in new flows such as those surrounding
Ra Patera. The red material may be unstable since the color appears to fade
over time. This fading appears to occur most rapidly in the equatorial
region and more slowly over the polar regions; surface temperature may
control the rate of transformation. Comparisons of these images to those
taken by the Voyager spacecraft 17 years ago have revealed that many changes
have occurred on Io. Since that time, about a dozen areas at least as large
as the state of Connecticut have been resurfaced. Io's diameter is 3632 km.

SEASONAL CHANGES IN SECONDARY PRODUCTION OF HYDROPSYCHIDAE IN
REACH 6, UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER.

L. Schuette, L. Paulson, D. Bruesewitz, and M. Delong.  
Large River Studies Center, Biology Department, Winona State University, Winona, MN 55987.

The theoretical models proposed to explain trophic dynamics in large rivers differ critically in the
relative importance of autochthonous vs. allochthonous organic matter.  Studies testing these
theories have focused on the role of different forms of organic matter.  An additional aspect of
these forms of organic matter is the timing of their deliver.  Allochthonous organic matter is
delivered either continuously via downstream transport or in conjunction with annual flood
periods.  Autochthonous matter is present in greatest quantities during low-flow periods when the
abundance of slackwater habitats is maximized and nutrient spiraling is slowed by reduced
current velocities.  We studied Hydropsychidae larvae to determine if seasonal changes occurred
in rates of secondary production.  Samples were collected every 3-4 wk from May-Oct 2000 by
removing cobble from wing dams in the upper area of Reach 6 near Winona, MN. 
Hydropsychids were removed from samples and divided into two size classes representing
different cohorts.  Biomass was determined and secondary production was estimated for each
sample interval using the increment-summation method.  Three species were identified:
Hydropsyche orris, Cheumatopsyche sp., and Potamyia flava.  Secondary production was highest
in August and September, which coincided with the low-flow period.  While annual spring flood
patterns deviated from the historical average, rates of secondary production would have been
predicted to remain constant if hydropsychids were relying on allochthonous organic matter
derived from upstream processing.  We propose that hydropsychid production was maximized

ULYSSES TO BEGIN JUPITER PHYSICS INVESTIGATIONS

	Science teams on the Ulysses mission to the poles of the 
sun are preparing to begin physics investigations during the 
forthcoming encounter with Jupiter, European Space Agency 
(ESA) and NASA Jet Propulsion Laborator (JPL), Pasadena, Calif., 
project officials reported Tuesday.

	Ulysses' science objectives at Jupiter and recent scientific 
results were reviewed by Drs. Edward J. Smith of JPL and Klaus-
Peter Wenzel of the European Space Research and Technology 
Centre (ESTEC) at the 1991 Spring Meeting of the American 
Geophysical Union in Baltimore, Md.  Smith and Wenzel are the 
NASA and European project scientists, respectively, for the joint 
NASA-ESA mission.

	The Ulysses spacecraft is currently traveling in the ecliptic 
plane -- the plane in which the planets of the solar system orbit 
the sun -- on a trajectory that will use the gravity of Jupiter to 
deflect Ulysses out of the ecliptic plane and onward to the polar 
regions of the sun.  

	The 809-pound spacecraft is expected to reach the Jovian 
giant and its system of satellites on Feb. 8, 1992.  Once there, 
Ulysses will make measurements of the Jovian magnetosphere 
during a 2-week sweep past the planet, said Dr. Edgar Page of the 
ESA Space Science Department.

	The encounter will yield new information on the 
magnetosphere of Jupiter, its interaction with the solar wind and 
the composition of energetic particles and positively charged 
atoms (ions) in the region influenced by the planet.

	The spacecraft will fly past Jupiter at about 30 degrees 
north Jovian latitude, said JPL Ulysses Project Manager Willis 
Meeks.  At nearest approach, Ulysses will pass the planet at 
approximately 6.3 Jupiter radii -- 450,480 kilometers or about 
279,300 miles -- from the center.

	Immediately after encounter, the spacecraft will be in "solar 
opposition," so that Earth is directly between the sun and the 
spacecraft.  Scientists will use the spacecraft's radio transmitters 
to search for gravitational waves.

	From there, Ulysses will use the extra acceleration gained 
from the gravitational pull of Jupiter to swing itself out of the 
ecliptic plane and onward to the southern solar pole.  In 
June1994, Ulysses will reach 70 degrees south solar latitude and 
begin its primary mission of exploring the polar regions of the sun 
and space above the poles.  At closest approach, Ulysses will travel 
within 1.3 astronomical units or about 120 million miles of the 
sun.

	Ulysses is a 5-year mission managed jointly by NASA and the 
European Space Agency.  ESA provided the spacecraft, half the 
science instruments, ground control computer system and 
spacecraft control personnel.  NASA provided the launch vehicle, 
the power supply and the other half of the onboard science 
instruments.  Tracking and data collection during the mission are 
being provided by NASA's Deep Space Network, managed by JPL.

Mamore and Itonama had struck us already in the streets of Manaos by their singular clothing : straw hats made by themselves, and long shirts Avithout sleeves, of the brown bark of the turury-tree; and by their activity. They were about the only persons we saw working in the streets, carrying turtles and fuel from the shore to the houses, or lending a hand at new buildings. They here gain about ten times as much as they could in their own country, where they live in great misery ; and so there is an endless current of emigration from Bolivia to Brazil, in spite of all the reclamations of the former.
After having secured the boats and crew, we had to set about the difficult task of buying provisions for the long voyage before us,rather a severe trial of our patience, on account of the astonishing indolence of the sparse population, which barely allows it to provide for its own subsistence. Not only are the black beans, that " staff' of life " for the greater part of Brazil, brought from Para, a distance of about three hundred leagues; but even the mandioca flour is imported from the Lower Amazon in thousands of baskets, though that mealy root would thrive just as well in the neighbourhood of Manaos. In respect of meat it is even worse. Instead of the charque, or came scca (dried meat) of the Southern provinces, which is nutritious enough and easily preserved, they have in the North only an abominable dried fish, the pirarucu, that becomes completely uneatable after a long voyage and in such a moist atmosphere; and, as the limited space of the boats does not allow of making a large provision of live turtles, which (so to speak) take the place of beef in these regions, the traveller must largely rely on his good luck in hunting and fishing.
We took provisions for about four months, the rest of the baggage consisting of tools for canoe-making and repairing, ropes, tents, arms, drugs, and presents for the savage and half-savage tribes in the valleys of the Madeira and Mamore.
Besides the eighty Indian paddlers, the expedition consisted of my father and myself; a young Brazilian engineer, Joaquim Manoel da Silva, our technical assistant; the Italian merchant from Bolivia ; and a young German, P. v. S., whose restless spirit had driven him much about in the world, and who had before accompanied us on a similar exploration, as boat's-matc, carpenter, master of the arms, and assistant of surveys.
Our seven canoes differed greatly in size and freightage.    The largest of them was fifteen tons, find had sixteen rowers; while the  smallest

nierous private schools which offer the advantages of suburban and country life, with their thoroughly satisfactory standards and teaching staffs. So the only defect in the educational system is the buildings of the public schools, and this defect soon is to be remedied.
The courses of study in the schools lead directly to the University of California, and to Leland Stanford, Jr.. University, the former at Berkeley, and the latter at Palo Alto. Both of these institutions are richly endowed, the latter with practically all the fortune of the late Senator Leland Stanford, and the former by numerous gifts from individuals, in addition to a grant from the Federal government and the State tax. Both are largely attended. The architecture at Stanford is impressive, and that at Berkeley is soon to be magnificent. Already these two homes of learning promise to take place beside the greatest

[Dear Francis,

                      I
                      /'
  i      At the end of last week we had a cheerful
           celebration and I gave the enclosed talk, at the
           end of which I handed Sydney the key to the
             laboratory -  an absurdly large golden key which
        ;,the workshop had made for me, with the amber codon
           i,carved out as the part that fits the lock. We
L---.Ic.. - .- - _ -   _.   were all as cheerful as the enclosed picture
                indicates.  Next evening,  a car knocked Sydney off
             his motorbike with the result that he is now in
           Addenbrookes with a compound fracture of the tibia
            and fibula and an injured knee.   He is in traction
          but luckily not at all concussed nor has he any
            internal injuries,  so that he is able to read and
           conduct the lab's business from his bed, but what
            an unfortunate thing to happen!

    May I remind you to send me those pictures
of yourself which you promised me?

Yours ever,

.
