A strong advantage of baryon oscillations is its geometric nature. 
If we want to consider both "unfiducial" dark energy and cosmology, 
we might want to calculate parameter constraints allowing for both 
a time variation w' and spatial nonflatness \Omega_k.  This is 
straightforward for BOsc and supernovae, but quite problematic for 
weak lensing, clusters, etc. 

If we change the matter/radiation ratio by adding a fourth neutrino, 
say, does this change the way we use \Omega_m h^2, or does it simply 
change the effective value derived but enter the same everywhere? 

Can we produce a maximum likelihood evaluation of power spectrum? 
The issues of putting error bars on a P_k plot and fitting curve to 
the data are separate. 

For 2D oscillation data, the assertion is that the power spectrum 
smearing does not impel one to seek higher galaxies number densities - why? 

Quasars at z=2 won't have high enough number density to map BOsc, and 
will never win out over galaxies. 

Here is the abstract I was mentioning from the Beyond Einstein meeting: 
Baryon Oscillations from Imaging Surveys as a Probe of Dark Energy
Derek Dolney, University of Pennsylvania, dolney@astro.upenn.edu
Additional authors: Bhuvnesh Jain, Masahiro Takada
We examine how well imaging surveys can constrain dark energy models 
through measurement of baryonic features in galaxy clustering statistics. 
The galaxy power spectrum alone allows one to constrain dark energy 
parameters, such as w_0 and w_a, if biasing is linear and scale 
independent. We find that measurement of the galaxy bispectrum allows 
one to constrain independently the galaxy bias and amplitude 
normalization. We demonstrate that by combining information from the 
power spectrum and bispectrum, one can break the degeneracy between 
the bias and normalization and obtain strong constraints.

08-030: ASTRONAUT LELAND MELVIN TO VISIT SCIENCE MUSEUM OF VIRGINIA



HAMPTON, Va. -- NASA astronaut and University of Richmond graduate 
Leland Melvin will share stories of his experiences in space with 
several hundred students at the Science Museum of Virginia in 
Richmond on Friday, May 9.



Melvin, a Detroit Lions NFL draftee and former NASA Langley Research 
Center chemist, was a mission specialist on the crew of space shuttle 
mission STS-122.



Melvin will take a group of Carver Elementary School fifth graders on 
a tour of the museum's Newton in Space exhibits at 11:30 and will 
share with the students what life was like aboard the shuttle. Melvin 
will be available for interviews following the tour.



He will also speak to Elkhardt Middle School students at 10:30 a.m. 
and Community High and St. Michael's Episcopal students at 1 p.m. 
Friday in the IMAX Dome Theater at the museum. Melvin will discuss 
living conditions in space and jobs aboard the shuttle. His 
presentation will include Langley's role in NASA's future plans for 
exploration, which will take humans back to the moon and on to Mars. 
Melvin will also share his flight video and answer students' 
questions.



Melvin completed a 13-day journey of nearly 5.3 million miles in space 
this past February on the Space Shuttle Atlantis. The STS-122 mission 
expanded the size and research capabilities of the International 
Space Station with the delivery of the European Space Agency's 
Columbus laboratory. Melvin was one of the operators of the station's 
robotic arm that helped install the module.



Melvin began working in the Fiber Optic Sensors group of the 
Nondestructive Evaluation Sciences Branch at NASA Langley in 1989. 
Selected by NASA's astronaut program in June 1998, Melvin reported 
for training in August 1998. This was his first spaceflight.

Chiu Ionospheric Model 1975

Author:		Y. T. Chiu
		Lockheed Research Laboratory
		3251 Hanover St.
		Palo Alto, California  94304
		NSI-DECnet: LOCKHD::CHIU

Parameter:	Electron density

Brief Description:

This global phenomenological model describes the large scale variations of
ionospheric electron density with local time, latitude, and solar sunspot
number. It is based on ionosonde data from 50 stations spanning the period 1957
to 1970. The model profile is obtained as the sum of three Modified Chapman
functions for E-, F1-, and F2-layers. The model was improved by Chiu (1975) and
served as the starting point for the FAIM model. The model is  fairly simple,
using less than 50 coefficients, which limits its application for equatorial
and higher latitudes. It is, however, fast and easily manipulable and a good
choice for first-order estimates. An extension for the polar cap ionosphere is
being constructed.

see that he was to be a quick favourite. I envied him for his ease of manner, a thing I could never compass.    Presently he returned to me.
" Say, partner, got any money? "
There was something frank and compelling in his manner, so that I produced the few dollars I had left, and spread them before him.
" That's all my wealth," I said smilingly.
He divided it into two equal portions and returned one to me.    He took a note of the other, saying:
" All right, I'll settle up with you later on."
He went off with my money. He seemed to take it for granted I would not object, and on my part I cared little, being only too eager to show I trusted him. A few minutes later behold him seated at a card-table with three rough-necked, hard-bitten-looking men. They were playing poker, and, thinks I: " Here's good-bye to my money." It minded me of wolves and a lamb. I felt sorry for my new friend, and I was only glad he had so little to lose.
We were drawing in to Los Angeles when he rejoined me. To my surprise he emptied his pockets of wrinkled notes and winking silver to the tune of twenty dollars, and dividing it equally, handed half to me.
"Here," says he, "plant that in your dip."
" No," I said, " just give me back what you borrowed; that's all I want."
" Oh, forget it! You staked me, and it's well won. These guinneys took me for a jay.    Thought I was

		<p><font size="3">Transport of nuclear proteins into mitochondria is catalyzed by distinct protein translocation machineries in the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes. We have purified the preprotein translocase of the outer membrane of mitochondria (TOM complex) from the fungus Neurospora crassa in amounts that allow detailed characterization (K&uuml;nkele et al., 1998, Cell 93, 1009-1019). We have determined its subunit stoichiometry, analyzed its function, and examined its architecture using electron microscopy and image analysis techniques. The TOM complex contains a cation-selective high conductance channel. Upon reconstitution into liposomes, it mediates integration of proteins into and across the lipid bilayer. Electron microscopy and image analysis reveal particles with a diameter of about 14 nm. Particles were found with one, two and three pores with a diameter of about 2 nm, which we propose represent protein conducting channels. The pore size fits well with results obtained from planar lipid bilayer sizing experiments using non-electrolyte polymers as molecular probes.</font>

*******************************************************************************
      THE US-CMS SPRING MEETING IN SAN DIEGO


Dear Colleagues,

In the midst of bad weather, we can prepare to attend the US-CMS Spring meeting
in San Diego which will be held on the 11-12th of  April 1997. Details of the 
arrangements will be forthcoming, but make sure of a place on your calendar.

The major items on the agenda in addition to the usual comprehensive updates
of progress in the various subsystems will be the elections. This year we 
must elect a spokesman as well as the members of the management Board. 

Dan will organize the election of the management board members 

I will organize the election of the spokesman.

For the spokesman, nominations will be accepted until the meeting (including
nominations from the floor). The nominee should be apprised in advance so that
he/she can make a short (3 min) presentation to the assembled multitudes.
The ballot will be taken by e-mail during the week following the meeting
(ending on the Friday the 18th).

Thanks for you interest and participation. It should be an interesting and 
warm meeting.

Best regards,
Don Reeder

Members of the FCC:

I am a second year student at Ithaca College and am writing to
you  in regards to the deabate over children and violence in
television programs.

As a child, I grew up in a two parent household where my father
went to  work and my mother stayed home with us.   Since my
mother was  home, my sister and I were always supervised in
whatever we did.   Homework was done right after school, and if
Mommy or Daddy did not  approve of a television program, we
couldn't watch it.  I was lucky.
Unfortunately not all children are raised in the same situation. 
Wtih  the economy the way it is, many mothers have left the home
and joined the  work force out of necessity and can no longer
give their children the  supervision that they would like to
give.  Young children have become  "latch-key kids" meaning that
they come home to an empty house and are  left to entertain
themselves.  This is where television plays its most  important
role.

The American Psychological Association found that the typical
child  watches 27 hours of television a week, and in that time
will have seen  8,000 murders and 100,000 acts of violence from
ages 3 to twelve.  Many  studies have been done that can directly
link violent behavior in  children to the violence they view on
television.  Actual situations have  risen where children hurt
other kids because they saw it on television.   For example, in
the case of the young girl who was raped with an  inanimate
object by  a group of kids who had seen the same thing done on  a
television program a few days before.

The fact of the matter is that we need to do something to
decrease the  amount of violence that is broadcasts to homes all
around the world,  starting here.  If that means approving the
V-Chip, then so be it.  There  should be parent control syastems
on all televisions, not just cable  boxes.  Certain scenes, such
as explicit sex scenes, gruesome acts of  violence, and the like
should not be broadcast before 9:00 P.M..  This  way parents can
control what their children watch, and how much of it they 
watch.

When you meet as a group to decide what it is exactly you will
do, keep  in mind that the children we speak of will one day be
the leaders of the  world.  Shouldn't we use television as a way
to better prepare them for  these positions?

Thank you for your time.

Tamika Andre

by the interaction of the Florida sea breezes will generate thunderstorms in the center portion 
of the state.  These storms will move towards the east after development causing concerns for 
launch.  Additionally, upper level wind flow will be strong from the west-southwest resulting 
in a threat of anvil clouds from inland thunderstorms.

                prelaunch processing activities. CSA's first contribution to the
                International Space Station (ISS), the SSRMS is the primary means
                of transferring payloads between the orbiter payload bay and the
                ISS for assembly. The 56-foot-long robotic arm includes two 12-
                foot booms joined by a hinge. Seven joints on the arm allow
                highly flexible and precise movement. Latching End Effectors are
                mounted on each end of the arm for grappling. Video cameras
                mounted on the booms and end effectors will give astronauts
                maximum visibility for operations and maintenance tasks on the
                ISS. The SSRMS is scheduled to be launched aboard Space Shuttle
                Endeavour on STS-100, currently planned for July 2000.

Dear Dr. Henney,

As a mother, in particular, I am writing in support of Petition 99P-0485 to urge you to ban medically useful antibiotics from livestock feed.  The argument I find particularly compelling in my mind, is that doctors are telling us that we shouldn't abuse antibiotics for the average cold & flu because they will become and are becoming less effective. And personally, I want to keep them effective so that when my son, Elijah, gets an ear infection, which happens every 4 months, or so, he will find a quick and painless remedy. Just like I did, when I was a child and got ear infections quite regularly. 

For decades, livestock producers have fed human antibiotics to hogs, cows and poultry to speed their growth or counteract the effects of crowded living conditions and poor hygiene.  In fact, about one third of the antibiotics manufactured in the United States each year ends up in animal feed.  Mounting evidence has proven that the overuse of antibiotics for livestock makes the drugs less effective for humans. And, if we can't abuse them, why should cows get the chance?  

Scientists, health organizations and governments around the world are urging that antibiotics not be squandered on fattening livestock.  The World Health Organization recommended that antibiotics used to treat humans not be used to promote animal growth.  The GAO reported that "research has linked three diseases with antibiotic-resistant strains affecting humans to the use of antibiotics in animals;" and the European Union has already banned human antibiotics in animal feed.

I urge you not to allow an antibiotic to be used in livestock feed if that antibiotic is used in human medicine.  Please tell me how you plan to address this looming health crisis.

Sincerely,

Linda Martinek

photo ever taken? If so do you know where I can view it?

ANSWER from Jim Bell on October 22, 1998:
No such photo exists. We tried several times to take this image,
which would have been not only scientifically valuable but of course
an incredibly beautiful and inspirational sight. However, just like on 
Earth, astronomers on Mars are sometimes clouded out. Each time we
took the picture we got beautiful pictures of Martian clouds that
blocked the Earth. The Earth is there, just behind the clouds. I
believe that either 3 or 4 attempts were made (we could only try on
certain days because night-time battery power had to be used), and
then of course the lander died after 83 Sols on Mars. You can be
assured that another attempt will be made with the Mars 98 lander
camera during late 1999!

|STAGE-|-----IMPACT STATEMENT 
 32.0 - LIFE THREATENING MASSIVE FLOODING OCCURS IN ALL OF 
        D'HANIS. FLOW IS SEVERAL FEET DEEP DOWN MAIN STREET AND 
        BUSINESSES HAVE SEVERAL FEET OF WATER. SOME HOMES IN 
        THE WESTERN PART HAVE NINE FEET OF WATER IN THEM. MILES 
        OF HIGHWAY 90 FLOODS WITH MAJOR DAMAGE 


 28.0 - ALL HOMES WEST OF THE BRICK PLANT IN D'HANIS FLOOD DUE TO 
        SECO CREEK ALONE...WITH UP TO FIVE FEET OF WATER. IF 
        SECO AND PARKER CREEKS ARE FLOODING...ALL OF D'HANIS 
        IS UNDER SEVERAL FEET OF WATER WITH UP TO SIX FEET IN 
        LOWEST HOMES. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING EVENT 


 24.0 - SECO CREEK ALONE (WITHOUT PARKER CREEK) FLOODS THE 
        LOWEST HOMES IN D'HANIS. SECO CREEK FLOODS HIGHWAY 90 
        NEAR A MILE WITH SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. IF SECO AND PARKER 
        CREEKS ARE SERIOUSLY FLOODING...ALL OF D'HANIS IS 
        UNDER WATER 


 23.0 - MAJOR FLOODING CAUSES SECO CREEK ALONE (WITHOUT 
        PARKER CREEK) TO APPROACH HOMES IN D'HANIS. IF PARKER 
        AND SECO CREEKS ARE FLOODING...ALL OF D'HANIS MAY BE 
        UNDER WATER AND SEVERAL FEET DEEP IN HOMES IN THE WEST 
        PART. HIGHWAY 90 FLOODS SEVERELY 


 19.0 - MODERATE LOWLAND FLOODING IMPACTS SECONDARY ROADS 
        AND LOW BRIDGES MAKING THEM DANGEROUS TO AUTO TRAFFIC. 
        LIVESTOCK SHOULD BE MOVED FROM LOW AREAS OF THE FLOOD 
        PLAIN. LOWEST HOMES IN D'HANIS ARE THREATENED 


 15.0 - MINOR LOWLAND FLOODING REACHES LOWEST AREAS OF THE 
        FLOOD PLAIN WITH NO SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE
Venn Diagram Plotter Change Log

Version 1.3.3250; November 24, 2008
	- Fixed a button positioning bug that occurs at certain screen resolutions when 3-circle overlap mode is enabled

Version 1.3.3103; June 30, 2008
	- Fixed coloring bug that failed to color the ABC overlap when Circle B overlapped entirely with Circle A
		- There is still some odd plotting behavior when the overlap between two circles becomes <10% of the total circle count
		- In these cases, your only option is to uncheck "Use fill color", then copy to the clipboard paste into a painting program 
          (e.g. Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, or Windows Paint) and use the Fill command (aka the paint bucket) to manually color the regions

Dear U.S.  TTB,

I noticed that everything I buy, down to bottles of water and packs of gum, all have labels containing information on calories, carbs, protein and fat. As a beer drinker, I also quickly noticed that the only packaged food or drink that doesn't have any Serving Facts label of any kind is beer, or for that matter any kind of alcohol. It doesn't even tell me how much alcohol is in a serving. That doesn't make any sense to me.

I want to know more about what I'm putting into my body when I choose to have a beer. It is ridiculous to prohibit the companies that make the products from putting this information on their products if they want to. You have the power to remedy the situation. Please do so.

Thank you for attention to this issue.

Sincerely,

Sean Kopeny

DISPERSAL AND SURVIVAL  OF  JUVENILE  PEREGRINE  FALCONS  DURING  A
RESTORATION PROJECT IN DUBUQUE, IA

Irene M. Barry and Larkin A. Powell.
Department of Biology and Environmental Science, University of Dubuque, 2000 
University Avenue, Dubuque, IA  52001.

In the largest single restoration effort in Iowa to date, 21 juvenile peregrine falcons 
(Falco peregrinus) were released by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources from a 
natural cliff near Eagle Point Park in Dubuque, Iowa during summer 1999.  We used 
radio-telemetry and observations of color-marked birds at the hack site to estimate 
daily survival rates and dispersal dates.  Falcons were released in a staggered manner 
from mid-June until late-July.  Older falcons remained at the site longer than at 
previous urban releases and interacted with the younger falcons.  Although we had 
planned to use aerial telemetry to track radio-marked falcons after they left the hack 
site, all radio -marked falcons remained at the hack site at least until they removed 
their leg-mounted radio transmitters.  Community interest in the project was high; the 
three mortalities confirmed during the summer were discovered and reported by 
citizens near the release site.  Prior concerns about great-horned owl predation were 
unfounded at this release site, as no mortalities were attributed to these predators.
