THE ENCOUNTER
"Don't let them get me," she panted.
He turned to his partner in puzzled inquiry, but found that the old man had crossed to the head of the landing ladder up which the pursuers were climbing.
"Just a minute-you there! Back up or I'll kick your face in." Dextry's voice was sharp and unexpected, and in the darkness he loomed tall and menacing to those below.
"Get out of the way. That woman's a runaway," came from the one highest on the ladder.
"So I jedge."
"She broke qu-"
"Shut upl" broke in another. "Do you want to advertise it? Get out of the way, there, ye damn fooll Climb up, Thorsen." He spoke like a bucko mate, and his words stirred the bile of Dextry.
Thorsen grasped the dock floor, trying to climb up, but the old miner stamped on his fingers and the sailor loosened his hold with a yell, carrying the under men with him to the beach in his fall.
"This wayl Follow mel" shouted the mate, making up the bank for the shore end of the wharf.
"You'd better pull your freight, miss," Dextry remarked; "they'll be here in a minute."
"Yes, yesl Let us gol I must get aboard the Santa Maria. She's leaving now. Come, comel"
Glenister laughed, as though there were a humorous touch in her remark, but did not stir.
"I'm gettin' awful old an' stiff to run," said Dextry, removing his mackinaw, "but I allow I ain't too old for a little diversion in the way of a rough-house when it comes nosin' around." He moved lightly, though

Subject: Notice No. 41: Labeling and Advertising of Wines, Distilled
Spirits and Malt Beverages



U.S.  TTB
 

Dear U.S.  TTB,

Please take the time to consider my views on the lack of proper labeling of alcoholic beverages in the United States. 

For too long, American consumers have been unable to acquire enough information about the beer, wine, and spirits they drink.
The federal government has been all too eager to require nutritional information on everything from hot dogs to chocolate milk, but the alcohol industry remains a curious exception. 

Considering the number of Americans who responsibly consume alcohol, I implore you to encourage drink makers (makers of wine, beer, etc.) to join with the rest of the food and beverage industry and list basic information on a Serving Facts label.

Thank you for your time.


Sincerely,

Custer, T. W., Bunck, C. M., and Stafford, C. L. , 1985, Organochlorine
concentrations in prefledging common terns Sterna hirundo at three Rhode Island
USA colonies: Colonial Waterbirds, v. 8, no. 2, p. 150-154.

Abstract:

Concentrations of DDE, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and polychlorinated
diphenyl ethers (PCDPEs) in carcasses of prefledging Common Terns (Sterna
hirundo) at three Rhode Island colonies support the hypothesis that local
contamination is responsible for among-colony differences observed in eggs in an
earlier study. The highest concentrations of DDE and PCBs (mean=0.24 and 2.8
ppm wet weight) were found in prefledging terns from Providence, a highly
industrialized area, and the lowest (DDE  range=nd-0.11, PCBs mean=0.85) in
terns from Price Neck, an undeveloped area 40 km to the south, PCDPEs were
detected in 3 of 14 tern carcasses from Providence and were not detected in
carcasses from 2 other colonies. The occurrence and concentrations of DDE and
PCBs in killifish (Fundulus spp.), a major dietary item of Common Terns,
qualitatively demonstrated the same trend among locations.

Keywords:

Fundulus-spp., polychlorinated diphenyl, ether, DDE, polychlorinated biphenyl,
local contamination

TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  1341
SUBJECT: ASM GRB candidate 020406 refined error box
DATE:    02/04/08 23:24:57 GMT
FROM:    Don Smith at U michigan  <dasmith@rotse2.physics.lsa.umich.edu>

D. A. Smith (U of Michigan) and R. Remillard (MIT) report on behalf of the
RXTE/ASM teams at MIT and NASA/GSFC:

Further RXTE/ASM detections of the event reported in GCN Circ. No. 1332 have
been discovered in the ASM production data, missing from the realtime data
stream available on the day of the event.  Rather than scanning *off* the
source, as we reported, the ASM scan actually moved to put the source *closer*
to the center of the FOV, greatly increasing the detector area exposed to this
source.  The time series data show that the source remained bright, with some
evidence for fading, for at least 100 seconds after the end of the observation
reported in GCN Circ. 1332.  The light curve is strongest in the 5-12 keV band,
with an average count rate during the second dwell of 21.3+-0.7 c/s, as
compared to only 3.0+-0.6 c/s in the 1.5-3 keV band (ASM rates for the Crab are
25.4 and 26.8 in the soft and hard bands, respectively).

Using the strongest detection of this source in each camera, we were able to
greatly refine our error box to a parallelogram roughly 3 arcminutes on a side.
This box is centered on the coordinates 
                R.A.: 19h 01m 45.95s, Decl: 1d 26' 15.7", 
and its corners are located at the following coordinates (all coordinates in
epoch J2000.0):

R.A.      Decl.
285.4381 1.4150
285.3389 1.4563
285.4472 1.4595
285.5416 1.4201

This refined localization appears to rule out the counterpart candidate
proposed by Durig & McDermott in GCN #1138.

A background-subtracted 5-12 keV light curve and the four ASM localizations of
this event can be seen at http://xte.mit.edu/grb/grb020406/

of Hydraulic Engineering.  121:644-652.
	
This paper introduces the concept of a submerged hydraulic jump being used for 
energy dissipation. A baffle wall is used to produce a stable deflected surface 
jet, thereby deflecting the high-velocity supercritical stream away from the bed 
to the surface. Based on a series of experiments, a diagram was developed that 
predicts the conditions under which such a surface jet would be produced. A 
second series of experiments were performed to study the characteristics of the 
deflected jet, as it travels upward first as a curved turbulent jet to 
eventually become a turbulent surface jet. The decay of the maximum velocity in 
the deflected as well as the surface jet was studied and compared with that of a 
plane turbulent wall jet that is a model for deeply submerged jumps.

 The information which contains in indd() was wrong. So one gets
wrong information in each string decay in the case that one of decay
products is anit-baryon.  In the case of hard scattering, this
bug is still not removed. If one wants to know the information
for each collision and decay, please ignore partons in the

Comments on NuMI horn transmission line Review Feb. 26, 2002

                                      from Frank Nezrick, March 7, 2002

1. Overall Remarks
At every NuMI horn system review I have attended, I have been impressed
with the quantity and quality of the design and engineering effort
invested. This review has been no exception. Such thorough work will
certainly lead to a reliable, long lived focussing system.
My primary concerns lie with the need and reliability of the Flex Joint,
and the dearth of testing time for the final horn system before taking
beam.

2. Itemized suggestions, questions and concerns

(1) Flex Joint
 I again state that I seriously question the need of the flex joint for
Horn 1. Since the transverse position of Horn 1 most likely will not be
scanned to verify beam centring, I do not see a justification for the
flex joint. It adds extra cost, effort (time) and complexity.

(2) Flex Joint
In the note of Zhijing Tang of October, 2001 concerning the Finite
Element Analysis of the flex joint, he notes the importance of keeping
the slots at each bend to an equal length (also noted in Nancy's talk).
Also if I understand the calculation correctly the slots lengths are
always symmetric wrt the center of curvature for each bend of the
transmission line, e.g. Figs 4, 10-14. This implies drawings on page 1,
4, 5 and 9 of the Drawing Package handout by Boettinger are incorrect.

(3) Flex Joint
It is planned that the prototype flex joint and remote clamp will be
pulse tested at MI8. It is essential that the prototype survive the
testing. However we should require more.  The testing plan lacks
quantitative measurements (deflection at specific points, resonant
frequencies, etc.) which might demonstrate agreement with expectations
(ANSYS calculations, etc.) thus supporting an anticipated longevity.

(4) Vibrations
The transmission lines in the target hall when pulsed will act like
xylophone bars; they will undergo transverse and longitudinal
vibrations. There is probably time and space to develop appropriate
dampening methods after the TL system is installed. However, vibrations
from the transmission lines and flex joints in and under the horn module
should be better understood soon so space, e.g. for dampers, might be
allowed in the module design. Hints might be obtained during the flex
joint testing program at MI8.

(5) Nancy listed on Pg. 21 of her handout a Concern :::  "Schedule is a
bit tight."
In the part of the installation schedule not shown on Pg. 20, but
discussed at the review, it appeared that the amount of time allowed for
testing (pulsing) the horn system in its running position was about one
month. If no failures or major modifications are encountered, a month
may be sufficient. My concern is that for various reasons this testing
time might be reduced even more. It should be remembered this will be
the first time the horn system will be operated in this configuration
(supported from actual module with all appropriate motion controls and
monitors installed, target installed, target hall transmission line
attached, etc., etc.). Proper testing time must be rigidly scheduled,
even if only 3rd shift.
The following four runs were computed using a Lagrangian Smoothed Particle 
Hydrodynamics (SPH) code, developed by Frederic Rasio and Joshua Faber.

In all calculations shown here, we used 50,000 equal-mass particles per 
neutron star.  Both stars had the same mass in these calculations.  
Wave forms are computed for an observer looking down the rotation
axis of the binary.  The equation of state for the NS is taken to be a 
polytrope with adiabatic index Gamma.  

We assume for these results that M_NS=1.4 M_sun=2.8E33 gm and R_NS=13km.
Technically, the results also apply for all systems such that
(G*M_NS)/(R_NS*c^2)=0.16, so long as the following scalings are used

t_new=t_old*(r/13km)^1.5*(m/1.4M_sun)^-0.5
h_new=h_old*(r/13km)^-1*(m/1.4M_sun)^2

Our Post-Newtonian results use the PN formalism of Blanchet, Damour, and 
Schafer (1990, see below), which includes both lowest-order 1PN effects,
as well as 2.5PN radiation reaction.  Our Newtonian results use the 2.5 PN 
Radiation Reaction effects as well, but include no 1PN corrections.  These 
calculations have appeared in the following set of papers:

J.A. Faber and F.A. Rasio, Phys. Rev. D, 62, 064012 (2000)

J.A. Faber and F.A. Rasio, submitted to PRD, gr-qc/0201040 (2002)

The formalism used is derived from:

L. Blanchet, T. Damour, and G. Schafer, MNRAS, 242, 289 (1990).

Mr. Madison to Mr. Monroe.
Washington, March 1, 1803.
Dear Sir,Since you left us we have no further intelligence from
New Orleans, except a letter dated January 20th from the Vice Con-
sular agent there, from which it appears that the letters to the Gover-
nor and Intendant from the Spanish Minister here had arrived about
the 13th, and had not, on the 20th, produced the desired change in the
state of things. The delay, however, does not seem to have been
viewed by the Consul as any proof that the Intendant would not con-
form to the interposition. The idea continued that he had taken his
measures without orders from his Government. There are letters
(according to that from the Consul) for the Marquis Yrujo now on the
way by land. These will probably shew whether the Intendant will
yield or not. The despatch vessel which carried the Marquis's letters
is not yet returned. The detention of her beyond the allotted time is
favorably interpreted by him, on the presumption that she waits for a
satisfactory answer, which the pride of the Intendant postpones as long
as possible.
The newspapers will have informed you of the turn given to the
proceedings of Congress on the subject of New Orleans, &c. The
propositions of Mr. Ross in the Senate, which drove at war thro1 a
delegation of unconstitutional power to the Executive, were discussed
very elaborately, and with open doors. The adversaries of them tri-
umphed in the debate, and threw them out by 15 votes against 11. On
the motion of Mr. Breckenridge, measures of expenseless or cheap
preparation, in the style of those which attended Mr. Jay's mission to
G. Britain, have been agreed on in the Senate. It is uncertain whether
even these will pass the House of Representatives. If they should, as
is, perhaps, not improper, they will not be understood as indicating
views that ought to excite suspicions or unfriendly sensations in either
of the Governments to which your Mission is addressed. The truth is,
that justice and peace prevail not only in the public councils, but in

QUESTION:
How does the local fire dept. assists in the launch activities.

ANSWER from  Bill Gary on October 15, 1997:
The KSC fire department assists in launch activities by providing a
stand by crew of firefighters and firefighting equipment for space
shuttle launches and landings. Special equipped trucks and other
firefighting vehicles are parked near the shuttle landing facility when
the shuttle returns from orbit to quickly get the astronauts to safety
should there be a problem while the shuttle is landing. At the launch
pad there is a "Firex" water deluge system that is capable of around
200,000 thousand gallons of water a minute to help extinguish any fire
that might develop, along with a crew of firefighters in specially
designed heat-resistant suits and firefighting equipment. These suits
have a self-contained breathing devices to allow the firefighters to
operate in toxic environments.

ANSWER from Jenny Lyons on October 15, 1997:
Because Kennedy Space Center is so huge (140,000 acres), we actually
have our own full-time Fire Department to protect the Center year-round.
The KSC Fire Department has 4 stations scattered across the Space
Center and provides all of the fire services you asssociate with a local
Department.  We also have our own ambulance and paramedic services, as
well as 2 medical clinics (or mini-hospitals) to handle some
emergencies.  These services support the  ~15, 000 employees that work
here everyday.  

Of course there are some special needs at KSC because of the hazards
involved with Shuttle and Payload processing.  This is particularly true
for  Shuttle launches.  Since we deal with numerous toxic and explosive
commodities around here, we have special hazardous materials teams (as
I'm sure you have, also) to protect the people as well as the
environment (especially since we're located on a National Wildlife
Refuge).  We also have specialized rescue teams trained to respond to
any accident at the launch pad or on the runway.  These men and women
can perform search and rescue actions (with helicopter support from
nearby Patrick Air Force Base) to retrieve the astronauts, whether the
acident happens in the water, on land, or out in the marshes (which we
have more square footage of than anything!).  On launch day, the entire
department is standing by to respond, however they might be needed.
Hopefully, the most they are asked to do is assist a launch spectator
who is suffering from heat exhaustion!

What a difference a week makes! Looks like very little in the way of
organized wind systems through the rest of the week. 

However, a glance out that old "high-tech" weatherman's friend (my
window) shows some pretty good cumulus cloud developments already (11
am), indicating that we may be talking about thunderstorms as opposed to
cyclones - and not bad timing, given the media attention with this being
tornado awareness week in Wisconsin by decree of the Governor.
