To Whom it may concern:

I work for Viacom Cable in the Pacific Northwest.  I am very
disturbed about our lack of control over leased
Community Access TV.  Tonight we are airing a less than desirable
show.  Which contains more nudity than some
Playboy shows (I have heard).  I understand the Freedom of Speech
part of the Constitution.  The part I have trouble  with is have
Viacom threatened to be blown up customers and employees because
of a lack of restrictions in Community
Access programming.  If you could add one restriction to leased
access, I would recommend that the person who is expressing his
or her view, must be required to have a real phone number and
address where comments can be made.  This will allow people to
vent their frustrations at those who are responsible, not us the
middleman.  If people die because of your inability to untie the
cable providers hands.  I hold you responsible.

Thank Bret Perry

drawn from indentity of language, has been already illuftrated, by observing the remark-

Hamao, one of the Friendly ones, are diftinguifhed. But the argument does not reft
,on a fingle inftance, though that happens to be a very ftriking one. Another of die
very few fpecimens of the dialed of the North Pacific Iflanders, preferved by father Can-

proceeds thus: tt Ce divertiflement s'appelle, en leur langue, tanger ifdfil\ qui veut dire,

Where do environmental statutes and regulations originate?

Congressional Acts:

Congress passes legislation that becomes the Act (or Statute) and then a government agency writes the regulations.

Regulations:

Regulations can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations which is  published annually, and the Federal Register which is published daily.

Policy & Guidance:

Clarifications and interpretations are important aspects of both statutes and regulations.

CHAPTER LI.
THE HONGAHREE.
SUNDAY, June 28. We were off early in the morning. The weather was cloudy and threatening rain, with head wind the whole day. We passed into another of those long chutes, making but little headway. Late in the afternoon we reached the main river.
We have been in view during the day of lofty mountains covered with forests, and near night came in view of the loftiest yet seen. They were on the left of the river, to the north of a stream called the Ahl-benn, distant some thirty miles. After a long unsuccessful struggle against wind and tide, in order to reach the main shore on the left, we were compelled to take shelter under the lee of an island at 10  . p. . In order to cheer our desolate bivouac we fired the old dried grass and bushes of the previous year still standing. It soon spread far and wide and lighted up the dark shore for several miles, making our camp more agreeable. The warmth of the fire was not unpleasant, as the evening was cool, with a heavy dew falling. Many birds; either driven from their cover by the fire or attracted by the light, flew over the shore, among which we observed ducks, quail, snipe, and curlew.
NCBI SEMINAR ANNOUNCEMENT:

Dr. Wolfgang Helmberg.

Dr. Helmberg is the leading candidate for an NCBI position of local curator of
HLA data, and he will be the NCBI point man for coordinating the data produced
by the 13th International Histocompatibility Working Group.

TITLE:
"Virtual DNA Analysis- a tool for correct utilisation and storage of DNA typing
data of highly polymorphic loci such as HLA."

ABSTRACT:
HLA typing is an essential part of clinical diagnostics within several fields,
e.g. bone marrow transplantation. HLA serology has already revealed that the
different HLA loci are highly polymorphic. The introduction of DNA typing
techniques has increased further the rate of discovery of new HLA alleles with
over 1150 alleles described to date. DNA typing in routine laboratories relies
mainly on the hybridisation with sequence specific oligonucleotides (SSO) or
amplification with sequence specific primers (SSP). In order to report a result
generated using these methods, the typings have been interpreted as possible
allele combinations, which have subsequently been stored in a summarised way.
Such handling of data has caused a serious loss of information and proved to be
incapable of handling newly detected alleles.

Virtual DNA Analysis (VDA) has been developed as tool to deal with these
problems. The concept is based on the target DNA recognised by the respective
typing techniques. All SSO/SSP or sequencing based typing (SBT) results are
stored as a virtual sample DNA without loss of information. Evaluation of
generic or allele specific DNA typing or the combination of both is supported.
Due to this flexible approach, all kinds of SSO/SSP typing sets, as far as the
respective SSO/SSP nucleotide sequences are available, can be entered and
re-evaluated at any time with an updated allele database.

The application of VDA in the European cell exchanges of 1998 and 1999
demonstrated the feasibility of exchange of raw DNA typing data rather than of
the interpreted typing results. These cell exchanges have also demonstrated the
necessity and have been the initiation of a central SSO/SSP database in order to
facilitate exchange of such DNA typing data. Currently a pilot project is in
preparation for the 13th International Histocompatibility Workshop which will
take place in 2001, to assess the wide scale use of this approach. The
application of VDA for bone marrow donor registries is in evaluation.

Ceux qui font ces sortes de tours, qu'ils soient magiques ou autrement, sont fort estims des autres Sauvages. Ils ont beaucoup de confiance en leurs ordonnances dans leurs maladies.
Ils ont une feste au commencement de Septembre, dans laquelle ils ressemblent par un cost aux anciens Lacdmo-niens, c'est que le jour de cette feste ils fouettent leurs enfans jusqu'au sang. Tout le village est alors assembl dans une grande place. Il faut que tous y passent, garons et filles, vieux et jeunes, jusqu'au plus bas ge, et quand il y a quelques enfans de malades, la mre est fouette pour l'enfant. Aprs cela, ils font des danses qui durent toute la nuit. Les chefs et les vieillards font une exhortation aux fouetts, leur disant que c'est pour leur apprendre  ne point craindre les maux que leur pourroient faire leurs ennemis, et de se montrer bons guerriers, et de ne point crier ny pleurer, mesme au milieu du feu, suppos qu'ils y fussent jetez par leurs ennemis.
Nos cinq Franois, aprs s'estre reposez en voyant cette feste, partirent avec les dix Sauvages des Alibamons, qui les conduisirent jusqu' dix lieues prs de leur village. Ils dirent  nos Franois de rester en cet endroit, parce qu'ils alloient  leur village, devant avertir les chefs afin qu'on les vinst recevoir le lendemain pour les y conduire ; mais pendant que les Franois dormoient, ils vinrent la nuit sans bruit, se saisirent de leurs armes et en turent quatre, le cinquime s'tant eschapp. Comme il se sauvoit, s'estant jet  l'eau

TITLE:   GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER:  7645
SUBJECT: GRB960202B - on the association with SN 1996cr
DATE:    08/04/28 07:29:59 GMT
FROM:    Eran Ofek at Tel Aviv U.  <eran@wise1.tau.ac.il>

Eran. O. Ofek (Caltech), Avishay Gal-Yam (Weizmann Institute for
Science), and Franz Bauer (Columbia) report:

Recently, Bauer et al. (2008; astro-ph/0804.3597)
suggested that the type IIn SN 1996cr in the Circinus galaxy
is associated with GRB 960202B (triggered at 14:05:51).
This suggestion is based on the coincidence of the BATSE error circle
with the SN position, as well as a rough consistency of
the GRB trigger with the inferred explosion time of the SN
(1995-02-28 to 1996-03-16).

This GRB is listed in the Inter-Planetary Network
database (Laros et al. 1997; Hurley et al. 1999).
Inspection of its positional constraints reveals that
SN1996cr is not consistent with the position of this GRB,
and the SN is located 1.38 deg outside the perimeter of the
3-sigma IPN annulus.

We note that the IPN positions were used to calibrate
the BATSE positional errors (Briggs et al. 1999).

We thank Kevin Hurley for maintaining the IPN database.
they extorted from their British masters, the acknowledg-
ment of independence., Since this period they have grown
in wealth and numbers, and have been busily employed;
and how have they been busy? In bringing their disjointed
members into some sort of combination; in building up and
pulling down their separate constitutions ; in quelling tu-
mults excited by attempts to levy taxes on a liquid poison t
called-Whiskey ; in supplicating France and England, that,
they would be good enough to repay the value of the plun-
der committed by these nations on their commerce, and ,
Spain, that she would be pleased to let them pass up and
down the Missisippi ; and in the most furious and disgrace-
ful animosities of party, fomented by the two great rivals .
in Eurdpe, and convertible at will into more successful en-
gines,of conquest than armies and fleets. Instead of pro-
: viding for their own defence, against foreign and domestic
foes, by armed ships and disciplined troops, they have re-
lied, on the power of intreaty, and on a rabble of militia.
Instead of asserting their natural claim to the continent
of North America, they have left all their southern dis-
tricts, and die mouth of their most useful river in the hands
of a nation, despicable and defenceless; whose claims are
groundless and ridiculous, asserted by themselves, but for-
midable and fatal when transferred to others.
" What topics, likely to produce conviction, can be urged
by the advocates of hostile measures? The future occupa-
tion of the western world, by a race congenial to them-
selves; the extension of their name and language over so
large a part of the earth; the future acquisition of the
wealth of Mexico; are splendid images which might se-
duce the sage in his closet,' or the despotic prince, whose
private,will is the law of his people, and whose private
ease would not be impaired by the incidents of war, but
are idle and ineffectual dreams in the view of the farmer,
trader and artizan. These classes must provide immedi-
ate bread for their children, and comfort and respect for
their old age. Chimerical and distant goods wouldhardly
extort from them a petty contribution to the public ; or
tempt them to inarch a hundred miles from home with a
musket on their shoulderj or to risque the rotting of the
corn in their granaries for want of a market; the loss of
customers to their shop for want of an assortment; and
the inaction of their ships for want of freights. The rulers
f America are either farmers or merchants themselves,

acting under his authority, to suspend the regular operation of the laws, and the writ of habeas corpus; and he demonstrated by unanswerable arguments, and by the highest authority both in the United States and in England, that it can only be done by Legislative authority. He showed that in England, martial law could not be declared to the extent contended for but by the authority of Parliament, and that even during the invasion of the Pretender, the Crown did not assume that power, but referred it to the decision of Parliament. The second point involved also an important question of constitutional law, and the application of that clause in the Constitution of the United States, which prohibits the State Legislatures from passing any law impairing the obligation of contracts. Upon this part of the case, he argued that the obligation of the contract referred to in the Constitution consisted in the necessity every man is under, inforo legisj to do or not to do a particular thing : that the Constitution spoke of the legal obligation rather than the moral, and that any law assuming to interfere between the debtor and the creditor, and absolutely recalling the power which the creditor enjoys of compelling his debtor, in foro legis, to perform his contract, would be a law impairing its obligation : and that a law destroying or impairing the remedy is as unconstitutional as one affecting the right in the same manner. He goes on to show that a law procrastinating the creditor in his remedy, generally speaking, destroys a part of the right, on the prin-ple that he who pays later pays lessmimus solvit que serins solvit. But he continues : " It does not necessarily follow that an act called for by other circumstances than the apparent necessity of relieving debtors, one of the consequences of which is nevertheless to work some delay in the prosecution of suits, and consequently to retard the recovery and payment of debts, must always be declared unconstitutional. In making a contract, each party must know that his legal remedy must depend on the laws of the country in which he may institute his suit. That the lex loci as to his remedy, even in the States that compose the Federal Union, is susceptible of juridical improvement. That the number of Courts of original and appellate jurisdiction, the nature and extent of the respective jurisdiction of these, the number, time and duration of their sessions, must from time to time, especially in new and growing settlements, be regulated by the Legislature, according to the wants and exigencies of the country." He adds that in times of war, domestic commotion or epidemy, circumstances may imperiously demand for a while even a total suspension of judicial proceedings : that under such circumstances, ibs

An Interactive Code (NETPATH) For Modeling NET Geochemical Reactions
Along a Flow PATH Version 2.0

By L.N. Plummer, E.C. Prestemon, and D.L. Parkhurst

U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4169, 1994.

ABSTRACT

NETPATH is an interactive Fortran 77 computer program used to
interpret net geochemical mass-balance reactions between an initial
and final water along a hydrologic flow path. Alternatively, NETPATH
computes the mixing proportions of two to five initial waters and net
geochemical reactions that can account for the observed composition of
a final water. The program utilizes previously defined chemical and
isotopic data for waters from a hydrochemical system. For a set of
minerals and (or) gas phases hypothesized to be the reactive phases in
the system, NETPATH calculates the mass transfers in every possible
combination of the selected phases that accounts for the observed
changes in the selected chemical and (or) isotopic compositions
observed along the flow path. The calculations are of use in
interpreting geochemical reactions, mixing proportions, evaporation
and (or) dilution of waters, and mineral mass transfer in the chemical
and isotopic evolution of natural and environmental waters. Rayleigh
distillation calculations are applied to each mass-balance model that
satisfies the constraints to predict carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, and
strontium isotopic compositions at the end point, including
radiocarbon dating. DB is an interactive Fortran 77 computer program
used to enter analytical data into NETPATH, and calculate the
distribution of species in aqueous solution.  This report describes
the types of problems that can be solved, the methods used to solve
problems, and the features available in the program to facilitate
these solutions. Examples are presented to demonstrate most of the
applications and features of NETPATH. The codes DB and NETPATH can be
executed in the UNIX or DOS environment. This report replaces
U.S. Geological Survey Water Resources Investigations Report 91-4078,
by Plummer and others, which described the original release of
NETPATH, version 1.0 (dated December, 1991), and documents revisions
and enhancements that are included in version 2.0.

OLD HICKS THE GUIDE.
country had been roused for the purpose of driving us hack from their sacred mountain, and that we should soon have thousands of warriors swarming around our way. Yet Albert would not see this, and seemed to regard these collisions as mere sport; hut this sport became each hour more serious, for the Indians became more numerous and more daring.
The next morning we saw ahead of us, in the misty distance, a tall, conical mountain, which the old man at once assured us was the Gold Mountain. Its crest was sharply and clearly defined through the haze, and it appeared to he some ten miles ofF.
We had come in sight of it round a sudden turn of the valley which here widened considerably, and seemed to end with this bold mountain, which stood as a sentinel, overlooking, with its giant brow, our approach.
The Indians of our two tribes had been growing restless for the last two days, and Hicks seemed to think that they suspected the object of our expedition. This, however, was too late to be remedied. We had looked forward to this contingency from the first, but were not prepared to see them take the alarm so promptly.
Albert was entirely beside himself when he saw thus before him the realization of all his daring dreams of boundless wealth. For myself, I must confess to a feeling of wild and joyous eagerness, which it would be difficult for me to express, and which regarded indifferently all the threatening circumstances by which we were surrounded.
We camped that evening in sight of the Gold Mountain, and never did men awake with a feeling of profounder relief and happier anticipations than we did on the next morning.
Albert lavished courtesies not only upon myself, but as well upo nthe French woman, in spite of her stateliness, and all the rest of the camp. He was entirely running over with amenities, and had forgotten every cause of displeasure.

Dear :lilt :

It was really 8 pleasure to nave some interesting science to look

at. dost of the letters I get regarding recombinant UNA are rehashes
of old arguments with no new inforaation.

   It seems to ma tnat your findings have two points of relevance to
tne reconbinant DNA deoate. Yirst, as you pointed out, your data indicate
tiiat tne eukaryote/prokaryote oarrier is not absolute, as Bob Sinsneimer
:ias argued. You probably are also aware of the isolation, from urines of
terainal colon cancer patients, of graia negative bacteria, identified as
G. I coli, ----- tnat appear to synthesize tiurnan ?-cnoriogonadotrophin. Second,
your ooservations suggest that in at least tnis one situation, the
euKaryote/prokaryote exchange is related to a eukaryote disease. The
scenario is sore or less waat nas been isagined as leadin3 to potential
nazards fros recosbinant experiments. You proDably know that the NId
Guidelines refer specifically to problcms arisinp, from experinents with
Agrooacteriutn turw fac iens .

   liy OWL~ experience with radio and television has not been especially
iiappy. fou would be best: off in a live interview, rattier tnan a taping
wiiicii will tiien be edited at sodieone else's pleasure. I have found tnat
listeners appreciate a silnple, straightforward description of the science.

Stan Coiien's article more or less reflects my own views on recombinant

Oiu'A. I Delieve tiiat it is especially iaportant, to stress the very
stringent require,nents in tne IIIti Guidelines, includin; the experinents
tiiat are prohibited. .*iy own present opinion is that ve need to extend
tile provisions of the Guidelines to all work being carried oat in the U.S.,
regardlcss of source of funding. And further, that federal legislation is
needed to accomplisn rnis and to discoursge the difficulties tnat would
arise fron differing atate and local actions. You will find :nore detail
in tne attacned papers - one fro3 a Congressional briefing, and one a talk
I gave at tile Academy Foruii?. I. hope tnat they art? helpful. Good luck!
