The line by which the men dragged the boat broke twice to-day in the rapids, and our boat was nearly dashed to pieces among the rocks.

" Not necessarily ridiculous," answered the lady. " If a faithful Catholic crowd can change a little vial of mummy-dry blood into liquid form in answer to faith and prayer, why can't an equally faithful Mormon crowd heal the sick through the same power of concentration, which is only another name for faith ?" and the Little Doctor hurried away.

A  MORMON WOMAN
NEWLY created Mormon settlements came occasionally into view, the long, low, ashy-white adobe houses of the Latter-Day Saints proclaiming, by the front doors to be counted in their dwellings, the number of wives each patriarch possessed.
One cold, blustering evening a lone woman, middle-aged, swarthy, sinewy, and tall, came into the camp afoot. A bundle of bedding strapped to her back gave her an uncanny appearance as she shrank into the shadows. A reticule of generous dimensions depended from her neck in front and reached below her waist-line, containing her little stock of clothing and provisions.

OFF   FOR   GOLOVIN   BAY.
Y October twelfth the weather began to be quite wintry, with snow flurries, cold wind, and a freezing ground. All now felt their time short in which to prepare for winter, change residence, and get settled. After many days of planning, in which eight or ten persons were concerned, it was finally decided that we should go to Golovin Bay. The head missionary, and one or two of his assistants from that place, had been with us part of the time during the great storm, so we were quite well acquainted, and we would be near the Mission.
The "boys," as we called the young men for short, would 'build a cabin in which the funds of the women were also to be pooled. Three of the boys had gone, some weeks before, to Golovin to assist in the erection of a new Mission Home, twelve miles further down the coast; but as a shipload of mission supplies had been lost at sea, including building materials, their work was much hampered, and, it was not expected that the new home would be completed, tjhough sadly needed for the ac-

                launch vehicle for the Space Infrared Telescope Facility, stands
                upright in the launch tower on Launch Complex 17-B, Cape
                Canaveral Air Force Station. SIRTF will obtain images and spectra
                by detecting the infrared energy, or heat, radiated by objects in
                space between wavelengths of 3 and 180 microns (1 micron is one-
                millionth of a meter). Most of this infrared radiation is blocked
                by the Earth's atmosphere and cannot be observed from the ground.
                Consisting of an 0.85-meter telescope and three cryogenically
                cooled science instruments, SIRTF is one of NASA's largest
                infrared telescopes to be launched. Its highly sensitive
                instruments will give a unique view of the Universe and peer into

Broadcasting using the electromagnetic spectrum has been the
preserve of the rich and powerful -- until now.  We have at hand
the means whereby individuals can broadcast or narrowcast, free
of interference from each other thanks to new digital signal
processing techniques.  Cheap, widespread digital broadcasting
will ensure technical innovation.  All that remains is for the
FCC commissioners is to allow it, and usher in a new age of
cheap, wireless communications -- or to disallow it, ensuring
needlessly expensive communications for years to come.  The
future awaits.  Say "yes" to cheap digital, wireless
communication.

.SHORT TERM (TODAY-SUNDAY)...
UPPER TROUGH TO LIFT INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS TODAY FROM THE CENTRAL
AND NORTHERN ROCKIES. SLIGHTLY STRONGER WSW FLOW ALOFT WILL ALLOW
DRYLINE TO MIX A LITTLE FARTHER EAST THAN IN RECENT DAYS...AND
COULD REACH A SNYDER TO NORTHWESTERN TIP OF CROCKETT COUNTY LINE BY
LATE AFTERNOON. STRONG INSTABILITY TO BE IN PLACE WITH DECENT
CONVERGENCE ALONG THE DRYLINE...BUT CAPPING WILL BE AN ISSUE. WITH
LACK OF UPPER SUPPORT...SHOULD ONLY SEE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT. STEERING FLOW ALOFT WOULD BRING ANY STORMS WHICH
DEVELOP INTO OUR FAR WEST OR NORTHWEST COUNTIES. WILL INCLUDE A LOW
POP LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY NIGHTTIME POP IN THOSE AREAS.
SHEAR IS MARGINAL...BUT WITH STRONG INSTABILITY...A FEW SEVERE
STORMS WOULD BE POSSIBLE IN NORTHERN BIG COUNTRY PER SPC DAY 1
OUTLOOK.

SIMILAR SETUP SATURDAY FAVORS THE DRYLINE MIXING EASTWARD TOWARD OUR
FAR WESTERN COUNTIES. BOTH THE ETA AND GFS BRING A WEAK SHORTWAVE
IMPULSE EASTWARD INTO WEST CENTRAL TX SATURDAY NIGHT. ETA WEAKENS
THE CAP SLIGHTLY BY SATURDAY EVENING. IF A WEAK IMPULSE DOES ARRIVE
BY THAT TIME...COULD SEE A BETTER CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE DRYLINE...WITH STORMS MOVING INTO OUR
COUNTIES INTO SATURDAY NIGHT. WILL CARRY SLIGHTLY HIGHER POPS A
LITTLE FARTHER EASTWARD TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS POSSIBILITY. WITH
STRONG INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT SHEAR...SEVERE STORMS WOULD BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS MUCH OF BIG COUNTRY AND NORTHERN CONCHO
VALLEY PER SPC DAY 2 OUTLOOK.

DESPITE DRYLINE MIXING TOWARD OUR WESTERN COUNTIES AGAIN SUNDAY...
STRONGER CAPPING SHOULD PRECLUDE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. VERY WARM
AND SOMEWHAT HUMID CONDITIONS TO CONTINUE NEXT FEW DAYS. GOING NEAR
PERSISTENCE WITH TEMPERATURES...CREEPING UP A DEGREE OR TWO.

.LONG TERM (MONDAY-FRIDAY)...
EARLY NEXT WEEK THE GFS DEVELOPS A SHORTWAVE TROUGH OVER
NORTHERN BAJA CA REGION AND TRIES TO WORK THE FEATURE NORTH INTO
THE SOUTHWESTERN US. SHORTWAVE RIDGING OCCURS OUT AHEAD OF IT INTO
THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES AND SOUTHERN PLAINS. GFS ALSO DEEPENS A
SHORTWAVE TROUGH ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST...AND TRIES TO BRING THE
ASSOCIATED COLD FRONT SOUTH TO THE RED RIVER LATE TUESDAY
BEFORE STALLING. BY MIDWEEK THE GFS BUILDS THE UPPER RIDGE
NORTHWESTWARD INTO THE ROCKIES...WITH A WEAKNESS IN OUR REGION.
THIS INDICATES WARMEST TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK OCCURRING MONDAY
AND TUESDAY...BACKING DOWN A BIT WEDNESDAY INTO FRIDAY.
STRONG CAPPING SHOULD PRECLUDE ANY THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
MONDAY AND TUESDAY. ALTHOUGH WEAKNESS IN THE HEIGHT PATTERN ALONG
WITH WEAKER CAPPING SUGGEST POSSIBILITY FOR ISOLATED STORMS
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY...CONFIDENCE IS TOO LOW AT THIS TIME TO

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                             99-25
   Levitt Praises Independent Financial Advisors for Adopting
                    Voluntary Pay-to-Play Ban
     Washington, DC, March 1, 1999 -- Securities and Exchange
Commission Chairman Arthur Levitt today praised a group of
leading independent financial advisers for agreeing to a
voluntary ban on pay-to-play practices in the municipal
securities markets.
     Chairman Levitt said, "I congratulate these individuals on
their commitment to the integrity of the municipal securities
market.  Pay-to-play eats away at confidence in our markets,
causing investors to ask of professionals who bring bonds to
market: are they chosen because of their competence, or their
connections?  The more market professionals refuse to pay to
play, the closer we are to ending this practice."
     In agreeing to the ban, independent financial advisors join
municipal bond dealers and brokers who are prohibited from
engaging in pay-to-play.  Currently, the Commission is working
closely with the American Bar Association and state and local bar
associations around the country to adopt pay-to-play bans for
bond counsel.  The independent financial advisor ban on pay-to-
play is included in a Statement of Initiative Regarding Political
Contributions to State and Local Officials/Candidates.  The firms
organizing the Statement of Initiative include: Bartle Wells
Associates, Evensen Dodge, Inc., Government Finance Associates,
Inc., Munistat Services, Inc., P.G. Corbin & Company, Inc.,
Public Financial Management Inc. and Public Resources Advisory
Group.  In addition, the initiative has been adopted by members
of the National Association of Independent Financial Advisors.
     The voluntary ban, which goes into effect immediately, will
be self-policing.
     The firms signing the Statement of Initiative represent a
cross section of financial adviser firms including four of the
top seven firms in the Bond Buyer's end of year rankings for
1998.
     As independent financial advisorsO activities generally do
not require their registration as brokers, dealers or municipal
securities dealers, they are not subject to the ban on pay-to-
play under Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board Rule G-37.

TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  1605
SUBJECT: GRB 021004 redshift
DATE:    02/10/08 16:49:46 GMT
FROM:    Alex Filippenko at UC Berkeley  <alex@astro.berkeley.edu>

R. Chornock and A. V. Filippenko, University of California, Berkeley,
report that optical spectra (range 300-940 nm) of the GRB 021004
afterglow (GCN 1564, 1565) were obtained with the Low Resolution
Imaging Spectrometer on the Keck-I 10-m telescope on Oct. 8 UT.  We
detect the absorption lines due to Mg I, Mg II, and Fe II associated
with systems at z=1.381 and 1.603 previously noted (GCN 1569).  We
also detect the unidentified absorption lines at 463, 466, 510, and
514.5 nm reported in GCN 1579, as well as the narrow emission line at
405 nm and the absorption lines between 400 and 404 nm (GCN 1599).

We identify the emission line as Lyman-alpha at z=2.323, in
contradiction to the identification as C IV in GCN 1599.  We note that
P-Cygni absorption line profiles from a hypothetical starburst host
galaxy should not be prominent above the bright continuum of the
transient.  In addition, we feel that a lone UV emission line is
significantly more likely to be Lyman-alpha than C IV.  The
previously unidentified absorption lines can now be identified as the
Si IV 1393.8, 1402.8 Angstrom doublet and C IV 1548.2, 1550.8
Angstrom doublet.  These absorption lines have multiple velocity
components, as does the Lyman-alpha absorption.  We note the
wavelength coincidence of one of the components of Lyman-alpha with
the expected C IV absorption from the Mg II system at z=1.603, but
believe it only to be a coincidence.

An additional point in favor of the z=2.323 interpretation is the
appearance of the continuum to the blue of the Lyman-alpha line.
While there is no substantial Lyman break, there are many more
absorption lines blueward of Lyman-alpha than redward.  A previously
unnoted absorption feature with multiple components is present at
341 nm, consistent with Lyman-beta at this redshift.

Dear U.S.  TTB,

I am writing to you today to ask why it is that alcoholic beverages are the only consumable product that is exempt from disclosing serving information like calories, fat, carbohydrates and alcohol per serving. I noticed that everything else I buy at the grocery store contains this kind of information, but a six-pack, for some reason, doesn't have this on the label. 

I assume there must be a reason why you have not allowed companies to put Serving Facts on their labels, but I urge you to re-think this issue. 

I know there are many others beer drinkers like myself who would use this information, even if they don't go out of their way to write a letter to you. 

Please allow alcoholic beverage companies to put this information on their labels. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Re: 33 CFR # 117.11                         June 7, 1993



Dear Congressman Oberstar:

If I may Sir, I would like to bring to your attention the above
federal regulation, having to do with the Aerial Lift Bridge here
in Duluth and I'm sure other bridges in the United States also.

My basic understanding of this reg. is that all non-essential
navigational equipment must be lowered if at all possible to avoid
unnecessary raising of the bridge(s).

What I find void in this regulation is consideration for disabled
and elderly people. I personally was instructed to lower my antennas
on my radar arch on  May 16, 1993 in 4/5 foot swells at lakeside of
the lift bridge. I am 100% disabled. I feel this request was
nothing less than reckless endangerment of my craft and crew. If I
may add, my radio was out and I could not inform the bridge of my
personal problem. However, radios are not required.

If I may, could I suggest that provisions be afforded in these reg.
for disabled and elderly people. Our Twin Ports here have many, many
disabled and elderly boaters!

To prompt honesty for identification purposes for elderly and disabled
people, might I also suggest a flag, or a sticker visible, identifiable
for bridge operators ....... such as I have for my car for parking
purposes.

Sir, I thank you for your time and consideration in the above matter
and await your response.

                                   Sincerely,
                                   XXXXX(b)(7)(c)

NASA, DOD AND FAA SIGN JOINT AGREEMENT 
ON SPACEPORTS LAUNCH GUIDANCE

     The NASA Administrator, the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Technology (DOD) and the Federal Aviation 
Administration (FAA) Administrator have signed a joint Memorandum 
of Agreement (MOA) that provides guidance for federal interaction 
with commercial launch site operators on spaceports.

     This joint agreement brings to fruition many months of 
concerted effort by the members of the Interagency Working Group 
on Spaceports, which was initiated at the request of the White 
House Office of Science and Technology Policy.

     A "spaceport" will be similar to an airport for rockets and 
will be managed by a launch site operator.  Operation of a launch 
site consists of operations and maintenance of launch property, 
which must include at least one launch pad.  These operators may 
be state government agencies, state-chartered or-sponsored 
entities, or commercial organizations.

     The primary objective of the MOA is to facilitate and 
encourage access by the private sector and state and local 
governments to excess federal launch property and services.

     The MOA explains the respective roles and responsibilities of 
federal agencies in general, and specifically NASA, DOD and FAA, 
in their interactions with launch site operators.  The intent is 
to minimize the regulatory burden on the U.S. commercial space 
sector by clearly delineating federal agency requirements and 
oversight responsibilities, eliminating overlap and duplication.

     The guidance applies to current and prospective FAA-licensed 
launch site operators on, or outside, federal installations.  It 
does not apply to operation of a launch site performed as part of 
a federal space activity carried out by, or for, the federal 
government.

     The basis of a federal license is the obligation to protect 
public health and safety.  Federal guidance is provided in several 
areas:

     -Environmental and safety compliance
     -Licensing of launch site operators
     -Financial responsibility and allocation of risk
         requirements applicable to activities conducted on a
                federal installation
     -Federal agency pricing for launch property and
         services
     -Foreign involvement in operation of a launch site
     -State government-related launch site operators, and
     -Real property.

     NASA, DOD, and FAA plan to use this agreement as a basis for 
writing implementing procedures to carry out their respective 
responsibilities in interacting with launch site operators.

being certain that the archduke Ferdinand, who was
newly elected king of Bohemia, would also be entitled
to the crown of Hungary, he took advantage of his
knowledge of these circumstances to bespeak all the
consequent alterations in the relations between his
master and the king of Poland, so that when the
archduke's ambassador Johann Mraxi arrived, every-
thing was already prepared and settled; and as Mraxi
was taken ill immediately after his arrival in Cracow,
Herberstein took the management of the whole affair
which Mraxi had been commissioned to carry out.
The ambassadors then travelled by way of Silesia
to Prague, where they found the archduke Ferdinand,
who, by the free election of the States, was declared
king of Bohemia upon the death of Louis, and were
in time to be present at the celebration of his coro-
nation. The Russian ambassadors arrived soon after,
and Herberstein was sent to receive them, and to
escort them through the town of Prague as a guide
to show them the curiosities. The beautiful situa-
tion and the great size of Prague surprised one of the
ambassadors so much that he exclaimed, 6' This is
not a city, it is a kingdom; and a great thing it is to
acquire such a kingdom without bloodshed!"
When Herberstein reported the result of his mis-
sion to the archduke, and mentioned his negotiations
in Poland, Ferdinand considered it necessary imme-
diately to send another ambassador thither, and
proposed to Herberstein to undertake the journey.
The answer of this indefatigable servant of Ms royal
master was, that although he was very ill, he

 Space Shuttle Discovery is hurled through a gossamer sky after launch
today on mission STS-96. Lifting off at 6:49:42 a.m. EDT, the crew of
seven begin a 10-day logistics and resupply mission for the
International Space Station. Discovery carries about 4,000 pounds of
supplies, to be stored aboard the station for use by future crews,
including laptop computers, cameras, tools, spare parts, and
clothing. The mission also includes such payloads as a Russian crane,
the Strela; a U.S.-built crane; the Spacehab Oceaneering Space System
Box (SHOSS), a logistics items carrier; and STARSHINE, a
student-involved experiment. It will include a space walk to attach
the cranes to the outside of the ISS for use in future
construction. Landing is expected at the SLF on June 6 about 1:58
a.m. EDT.

STATEMENT BY NASA DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR ON LAUNCH OF CRRES/ATLAS-1

     Following today's successful launch of the joint USAF/NASA 
Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) aboard a 
General Dynamics commercial Atlas-1 (Atlas/Centaur-69) launch 
vehicle, NASA Deputy Administrator James R. Thompson issued the 
following statement:

     "Today's successful launch of the sophisticated scientific 
satellite known as 'CRRES' marks an important step forward in the 
'new way' in which NASA is doing business with the private sector 
for expendable launch vehicle services.

     Although NASA maintained both direct oversight and insight 
throughout the prelaunch and launch process for CRRES, my 
personal congratulations go out to General Dynamics, and, in fact 
to the entire industry/government team, for placing CRRES into 
its proper orbit where it can now begin a string of strenuous 
scientific tasks.

     Under terms of our contract with General Dynamics, the 
government exercised considerably less oversight over launch 
vehicle manufacturing and processing than it has during previous 
Atlas/Centaur missions.  As a result of the added responsibility 
accepted and, obviously, demonstrated by the company during this 
mission, we look forward to future launch services partnerships 
with General Dynamics and other launch services contractors as we 
jointly continue to pursue the nation's ambitious scientific 
goals in space using expendable launch vehicles."

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
1035 AM CDT SUN SEP  7 2003

A RATHER STRONG UPPER-LEVEL SPEED MAX IS ADVANCING STEADILY EAST 
TOWARD OKLAHOMA.  A FAIRLY LARGE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS FORMED 
OVER THE TEXAS PANHANDLE AND IS ALSO TRAVELING TOWARD THE EAST.  THE 
GENERAL TREND SO FAR THIS MORNING IS FOR STORMS TO DWINDLE AND DIE 
AS THEY APPROACH THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE PANHANDLE REGION.  THIS IS 
DUE TO WIDESPREAD LOW- AND MID-LEVEL DRY AIR AT LOW LEVELS EAST OF 
THE PANHANDLES.  THE MORNING MODEL RUNS KEEP MOST OF OKLAHOMA AND 
NORTH TEXAS QUITE DRY AND SHOW THE PRECIPITATION HAVING LITTLE 
SUCCESS IN DEVELOPING INTO OUR FORECAST AREA BEYOND PERHAPS THE 
FIRST ROW OF WESTERN COUNTIES.  WILL NUDGE POPS UP A BIT ALONG OUR 
BORDER WITH THE PANHANDLES... BUT LEAVE THE REMAINDER OF THE 
FORECAST AS IS.

NO OTHER SIGNIFICANT CHANGES ARE PLANNED AT THIS TIME.

UPDATE SHOULD BE AVAILABLE SHORTLY.

208 AM CDT SUN SEP  7 2003

A 20 PERCENT CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS WAS ADDED TO THE NEW FORECAST 
THROUGH MID-MORNING IN THE WEST DUE TO ONGOING SHOWERS IN THE 
EASTERN PANHANDLES AND MID-CLOUD DEVELOPMENT OVER WESTERN OK. 
TONIGHT...THE LOW LEVEL JET IS EXPECTED TO BE STRONGER THROUGH THE 
CENTRAL AND EASTERN PANHANDLES. LOW POPS HAVE BEEN EXTENDED SLIGHTLY 
EAST THROUGHOUT THE WESTERN FIFTH OF OK AND ADJACENT PARTS OF NORTH 
TX. STRONGER UPPER LEVEL WINDS MOVING AROUND THE UPSTREAM SIDE OF 
THE UPPER TROUGH OVER WEST TX LATER TONIGHT MAY ENHANCE LIFT IN 
NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST OK AS WELL. THIS TROUGH IS FORECAST TO 
LINGER THROUGH OK IN WEAK FLOW THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT. LOW POPS 
CONTINUE MONDAY AND MONDAY NIGHT AS WELL IN THE WEST AS LOW-LEVEL 
MOISTURE ALSO INCREASES. 

OTHER AREAS ARE FORECAST TO REMAIN RAINLESS THROUGH TUESDAY...BUT 
BROKEN MID AND UPPER LEVEL CLOUDS TONIGHT AND MONDAY WILL AFFECT AT 
LEAST THE WESTERN HALF OF OK. COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A CHANCE FOR 
RAIN CONTINUE IN THE FORECAST FOR THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEK BASED 
ON EXPECTED FRONTAL PASSAGE WEDNESDAY OR THURSDAY.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are collections of mapping, database, and 
analysis tools that enhance users' ability to utilize spatial data to solve 
problems and test hypotheses.  The Mines of Spain Recreation Area is immediately 
south of Dubuque, Iowa along the Mississippi River.  Land uses at this state 
park are multiple, including hiking trails, roads, natural areas, an abandoned 
quarry, wildlife-viewing areas, past mining activities, habitat studies, and 
agriculture.  Managing these sometimes-competing uses requires a good 
understanding of their spatial locations and proximity, the varying topography, 
types of vegetation, and habitat change through time.  GIS has proven to be a 
useful tool in helping create this understanding.  A baseline GIS created for 
the Mines of Spain includes the locations of roads and trails, soil types, 
slope, and historical photography.  Additional data layers linking recent 
research and survey activities on small mammals and vegetation have been 
incorporated and data from future research activities can be easily included.  
The GIS product will enhance the spatial management of this multiple-use park.
