NASA SEEKS TECHNOLOGIES FOR TESTING DURING REDUCED GRAVITY FLIGHTS



WASHINGTON -- NASA is looking for new technologies that have potential 
use in future agency projects which could benefit from testing during 
flights on an airplane that simulates the weightless conditions of 
space. The technologies may improve air and space vehicle 
capabilities and support future systems used in space exploration. 

NASA's Facilitated Access to the Space Environment for Technology 
Development and Training, or FAST, program helps emerging 
technologies mature through testing in a reduced gravity environment. 
To prepare technologies for space applications, it is important to 
demonstrate they work in a zero-gravity environment. This unique 
testing environment can be provided in an aircraft flying repeated 
parabolic trajectories which create brief periods of zero gravity. 
The aircraft also can simulate reduced-gravity levels similar to 
those found on the surface of the moon or Mars. 

The testing opportunities are being offered to U.S. companies, 
individuals, academic or research institutions, or government 
agencies. Through a partnership agreement, NASA will provide free 
flight time for the tests while project teams will be responsible for 
all other expenses. Proposals are due by March 20. Flights to 
demonstrate the technologies will be conducted in August 2009 from 
Ellington Field in Houston. NASA expects to select at least 20 
projects for this round of test flights, pending availability of 
funding. 

Initial reduced-gravity tests with small businesses developing 
technologies for NASA were conducted in September 2008. Those tests 
validated the FAST concept and paved the way for this broader 
opportunity for all U.S. organizations developing technology NASA may 
need. In the future, the FAST program expects to provide more 
extensive technology testing opportunities, with suborbital flights 
as well as orbital flights, when such commercial services become 
available. 

NASA's Innovative Partnerships Program at NASA Headquarters in 
Washington manages the FAST program. The Reduced Gravity Office at 
NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston is providing test management 
for the flights. NASA's Glenn Research Center in Cleveland is 
providing technical assistance to the FAST program.

Lastly, four band boys, attired as European ladies, appeared upon the scene, and danced a set of lancers with four bandsmen. Nothing could exceed the painstaking punctilio with which they ploughed through their figures. It was most amusing to see these extraordinary looking females working away in so solemn and correct a style at their frivolous task.
After this I thought it was full time for Lieutenant-Generals to go to bed. A child has to take itself off just when the fun gets fast and furious, and men over forty-five should learn to do the same. When I did turn in, it was with a strong feeling that nowhere in the wide dominions of the King had his birthday begun earlier or lasted longer than at the coal-mines of Yentai.

I  must say the  latter is a marvel.    He was ten hosts in one.    Told stories.    Hoared with laughter. Shouted.    Drank toasts with every one all round.    I watched him and saw him in the midst of all  his jollity, forced jollity, no doubt, but still extraordinarily well forced.    I watched him, and I saw how, when Marquis Oyama occasionally took up the "parable, or when, from some other cause he was free to drop out, his face fell instantly into lines of the deepest concentration and thought.    Once I observed him casting his keen, penetrating glance over us one by one, sizing us up to a nicety I am certain.    Somehow he brought to my mind the line,
" Ambition pale of cheek and ever watchful with fatigued eye."

Ils ne sauroient s'imaginer que Dieu se fasche ou veuille punir les pcheurs. Ils sont fort adonnez au larcin, plus amateurs de leur libert qu'aucune autre nation, ne respectant que fort peu les anciens, ce qui fait que la paix et la guerre sont de moindre dure parmy eux, ne dpendant que du caprice de la jeunesse. Ils sont environ deux mille combattants qui se font craindre leurs voisins, qu'ils surpassent en vigueur et en l'usage des armes  feu. Il n'y en a point qui les galent  la course, mais les Iroquois sont plus braves et tellement redoutez d'eux qu'ils leur ont desj fait abandonner deux fois leur pays, quoique esloignez de quatre cents lieues, et ils les y auroient encore contraints cette anne s'ils ne s'estoient rassurez par nostre voisinage. Le calumet termine d'ordinaire les guerres entre eux et leurs voisins : les plus foibles venant sous cette sauvegarde faire un prsent aux vainqueurs, arrestent leurs haches qu'ils ne prennent d'ordinaire que pour venger la mort de quelque parent tu par surprise ou par trahison, et se satisfont aussy tost qu'ils ont eu leur revanche.

GLICKMAN ANNOUNCES U.S. WHEAT EXPORTS TO BRAZIL BACK ON TRACK

     WASHINGTON, April 22, 1998--Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman announced
that the United States and Brazil have signed an agreement that immediately
lifts the ban on U.S. wheat exports to Brazil. 
     
     "The waiver agreement opens the Brazilian wheat market for U.S. wheat
producers for the first time since September 1996 when the Brazilian
government imposed a ban on U.S. wheat due to TCK concerns," said Glickman. 
"This effectively shut down all U.S. wheat exports to Brazil, which had
averaged $56 million a year.  Our research convinced the Brazilian government
to open its market to U.S. wheat exporters.  This action demonstrates how
nations can work together using sound science as a basis to resolve their
phytosanitary trade differences." 
     
     According to Glickman, last November, USDA scientists presented a risk
assessment study at an international symposium in Passo Fundo, Brazil, which
demonstrated that Tilletia controversa kuhn does not present a risk to Brazil. 
The study revealed that certain climatic conditions are needed for the wheat
fungus to grow, and these conditions do not exist in Brazil.
     
     USDA provided the study to COSAVE, the regional plant protection
organization, for the South American countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile,
Paraguay and Uruguay.  COSAVE  recommended the removal of TCK from its
quarantine pest list for wheat for human consumption.  Brazil has accepted
COSAVE's recommendation and agreed that it will no longer consider TCK as a
quarantine disease for U.S. wheat exports to Brazil.  The agreement provides a
waiver that will remain in effect until permanent changes are made in
Brazilian regulations regarding the wheat fungus.  
     
     "Exports are very important to the U.S. wheat industry," said Glickman.
"More than half of all the wheat produced in the United States goes into the
export market to supply customers in more than 150 countries around the world. 
Clearly, our wheat producers depend on international trade.  Resolution of
this issue has been a collaborative effort between USDA and the wheat
industry, and is a part of our ongoing work to expand export opportunities for
American wheat growers."

HISTORY OF SETTLEMENTS AND TRADE
k fhell. But this idea hath likewife fallen into difcre-
dit, when it hath been fully known, that the pearls
" were found in all parts of the animal ; and when,
after the moft accurate inveftigarions, anatomy bath
not been able to difcover the organs calculated for
generation in this fifh, which feems to add one to the
clafs of hermaphroditical animals.
At length, after a variety of fyftems lightly adopt-
ed, and fucceffively abandoned, it hath been imagin-
ed that pearls were produced from a difeafe in the
animal ; and that they were formed by a liquor ex-
travafated from fome veffels, and detained between
the membranes, or fpread along the interior furface
of the fhell. This conjedure hath been ftill more
confirmed to accurate obfervers, in proportion as it
hath been afcertained that thefe treafures were not
to be found indiferiminately in all the fifh ; that thofe
which had them were not fo well tailed as the others;
and that the coafts upon which this rich fifhery was
carried on were in general unwholefome.
Black pearls, fuch as are inclining to black, or fuch
as are cf a lead colour, are universally defpifed. In
Arabia, and in fome other parts of the Eaft, the yel-
low pearls are efteemed. But the white ones are pre-
ferred in Europe, and throughout the greateft part of
the globe. It is regretted only that they begin to
grow yellow after half a century.
Although pearls had been difcovered in the feas
of the Eaft Indies and in thofe of America, yet their
price was fufficiently kept up to induce people to
counterfeit them. The imitation was at firft coarfe.
It was glafs covered with mercury. Attempts have
been repeated, and in procefs of time, nature hath
been fo well copied, that it was eafy to be milled.
The artificial pearls, which are made at prefent with
wax and ichthyocol, have much the advantage of the
others. They are cheap ; and are made of every
fize and fhape, to fuit the women Who ufe them for
ornament.
This difcovery was unknown when the  Spaniards

The robotic telescope REM observed the field of GRB040903 (IBAS #alert 1972,
Gotz et al., GCN 2690) with the IR camera REMIR in the filter H starting on
Sept. 03 at UT 22:58, 4.67 hrs after the first INTEGRAL alert.
Due to the poor weather conditions only one set of five 1s dithered images,
for a total exposure time of 5s, was acquired. The acquisition and image
preprocessing were done automatically. The photometry was calibrated with
a subset of the 2MASS catalog.
Off-line analysis revealed no evident new sources, compared to the 2MASS
catalog, within the error circle of INTEGRAL. 
The detection upper limit (3 sigma) is H=15.2 and the extinction in the area 
is A_H=2.56.

IN THE EAST AND WEST INDIES.
gtions had but little influence over a wild and reclufe b
people, who knew no right but that of war, no treaties
but for truces or ranfoms.
During this long period or ignorance and barba-
rifm, policy was entirely confined to the court of Rome.
It had arifen from the artifices which had founded the
papal government. As the pontiffs, by the laws of
religion and the fyftem or the hierarchy, influenced
a very numerous clergy, whofe profelytes extended
perpetually in all the Chriftian ftates, the correfpon-
dence kept up with the bifhops, eftablifhed early at
Rome a centre of communication for all the different
churches or nations. All rights were fubordinate to
a religion which exercifed an abfolute authority over
the mind of every individual ; it had a fhare in almoft
every tranfadion^ either as the motive or the means;
and the popes, by the Italian agents they had placed
in all the prelacies of the Chriftian ftate, were con-
ftantly informed of every commotion, and availed
themfelves of every event. They had the higheft in-
tereft in this ; that of attaining univerfal monarchy.
The barbarifm of the times in which this projed was-
conceived, does not leffen its greatnefs and fublimi-
ty. How daring was the attempt, to fobdue, without
troops, nations that were always in arms ! What art to
make even the weaknefe of the clergy refpedable and
facred ! What fkill to agitate, to fhake thrones one
after the other, in order to keep them all in fobjedion !
So deep, fo extenfive a defign could only be carried
into execution, by being concealed ; and therefore
was inconfiftent with an hereditary monarchy ; in
which the paffions of kings, and the intrigues of mi-
nifters, are the caufe of fo much inftability in affairs.
This projed, and the general rule of condud it re-
quires, could not be formed but in an eledive go-
vernment, in which the chief is always chofen from
a body animated with the fame fpirit, and guided by
the fame maxims ; in which an ariftocratic court ra-
ther governs the prince, than foffers itfelf to be go-
verned by him.

EAKLY  DAYS
Life at the present day is vastly inter-
esting. Perhaps no more so than it was to
our predecessors ; but it cannot be doubted
that we have advantages which were alto-
gether unknown to them. Of these advan-
tages one of the most important, certainly,
is the increased facility of intercourse
among all civilised nations. But far greater
even than this is the freedom of thought
and action which has been making its slow
yet irresistible way throughout the world.
With the close of the Spanish War,
which has left behind it so many important
political questions as yet unanswered, and
indeed may be said to have opened a new
epoch in the country's history, my mind

  and their compensation according to the work they are performing. One of the
  problems that occur under this system is when people, for whatever reasons,
  are asked to perform work that is outside the classification to which they
  are assigned, and they may not be compensated fairly for that work. There is
  probably no doubt that this happens frequently, and I am sure that many Lab
  employees can relate to this situation. In an attempt to be a &quot;team player&quot; they
  take on assignments, which probably should be performed by someone in another
  classification, and may warrant a higher level of compensation. In some cases,
  but not often, I have seen that the Lab will recognize this inequity and provide
  a temporary increase to remedy the situation. However, this does not happen
  often enough because it requires that the appropriate manager and Human Resources
  (HR) come to some kind of agreement that the assignment and higher salary,
  or hourly rate
  are
  justified. We have to keep in mind that HR put the whole structure, salary,
  or hourly rates together based on criteria they derived from &quot;industry
  standards,&quot; therefore they may view any changes as a challenge to the
order of things, requiring that they resist these changes.</p>
<p>Another [factor] contributing
  to the pay inequities problem are the many processes  in place which make it
  very difficult for an individual to move between job classifications, regardless
  of qualifications, or work being performed. In order to move between classifications
  it is often necessary for an individual's manager to go before a board and
  provide justification for the change. This requires that the manager &quot;have
  what it takes&quot; to put together a justification acceptable to the board.
  I believe this often leads to a situation where the justification process develops
  into a contest between the manager's ability to justify the reclassification,
  and the board's perceived charter of proving why the reclassification is not
  justified. The loser in this contest will likely be the employee who is under
  consideration for the reclassification.</p>
<p>There also is a mentality in some areas
  that an individual must &quot;pay their
  dues&quot; before advancing into positions long held by others who &quot;have
  paid their dues,&quot; thus contributing to advancements and pay inequities
  in some cases.</p>
<p>There are many factors to be considered in researching and addressing
    the pay inequities problem that may not be covered in the Welch report. It's
    going
    to be interesting to see the follow-up reports.</p>

tribe, the Osages were not very dependable at the best of times and now that they saw confusion all around
Indians in Kansas till such time as they can be treated with. And such order to the Commander of the Western Division of the U.S. Army would stop further proceedings.
I shall start to-morrow for Council Grove and meet the Kansas Indians before General Mitchell's force can get there. As the point of attack is secret, I fear it may be the Osages, for the purpose of creating a necessity for a treaty with himself by which he can secure a large quantity of land for himself and followers. He is acquainted with all the old Democratic schemes of swindling Indians.
The necessity for prompt action on the part of the Indian Department increases every day. The element of discord in the community here now, was once, the pro-slavery parry. I see their intention to breed disturbances with the Indians is malicious and selfish. They are active and unscrupulous, and must be met promptly and decisively.
I hope you will excuse this, as it appears necessary for me to step a little out of my orders to notify you of current events. I am very respectfully Your Ob4 Ser74               Augustus Wattles, Special Agent
[Indian Office Special Files, no. 201.]
                                                         Grand Falls, Newton Co., Mo.

Washington, D. C.
Hon. Sir: Permit me to inform you, by this means, of the efforts .that have been and are now being made in Southern Kansas to arouse both the "Osages" and "Cherokees" to rebel, and bear arms against the U.S. Government- At a public meeting near the South E. corner of the "Osage Nation" called by the settlements for the devising of some means by which to protect themselves from "unlawful characters," Mr. John Mathis, who resides in the Osage Nation and has an Osage family, also Mr. "Robert Foster" who lives in the Cherokee Nation and has a Cherokee family endeavered by public speeches and otherwise to induce "Osages", "Cherokees", as well as Americans who live on the "Neutral Lands" to bear arms against the U.S. Government -aledging that there <was no U.S. Government. There was 25 men who joined them and they proceeded to organise a "Secession Company" electing as Capt R. D. Foster and 1st Lieutenant James Patton- This meeting was held June 4th 1861-at "McGhees Residence"- The peace of this section of country requires the removal of these men from the Indian country, or some measures that will restrain them from exciting the Indians in Southern Kansas.
Yours Respectfully                                                            Wm. Brooks.
You will understand why you are addressed by a private individual
on this subject instead of the Agent,  since A. J. Dorn,  the  present
Indian Agent,  is  an  avowed  "Secessionist"  and  consequently would
favor, rather than suppress the move.                                Wm. Brooks.

I am an electrical engineer working as a digital
designer at AMI. I currently hold a Tech + license N7RSP. I feel that
the Morse code requirement has outlived its usefullness and should be
abolished or greatly reduced. I passed the 5 wpm code and found I have no
interest in using the code at all. It is antiquated and should fall by
the wayside as did AM when SSB came on the scene. Those who want to can
still use Morse code but it should not be a stumbling block to use of
the HF frequencies. I am greatly interested in using the HF
frequencies for SSB but cannot as current licensing stands.

I am a member of ARRL and am greatly concerned that young
people are no longer interested in Amateur Radio. My son KB7YGE and wife
KC7CZS have no interest in learning Morse code and in fact are much more
comfortable on the internet than on ham radio. They were very interested
in HF communications on SSB but that fell flat when they learned
that Morse code was required.

ARRL said they took a survey on who wants to retain the 
Morse code. They must have surveyed only Extra class people who want to have
their own private domain for senior citizens, because no one in my
family (3 hams) of Techs and Tech +'s received any questionaires.

Again, I feel the Morse code requirement is an antiquated
stumbling block to obtaining an Amateur license. As far as I know, NO
ONE ELSE who uses the radio frequencies requires knowledge of Morse code
to use their frequencies. Only amateur radio.

Thank you for your time.
