NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RIVERTON WY
205 PM MST SUN JAN 19 2003

...TODAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...
WYOMING UNDER NORTHWEST FLOW WITH AC CLOUDS SPILLING INTO WYOMING
OVER THE RIDGE BETWEEN RATHER IMPRESSIVE LOOKING CIRCULATION OFF THE
SOUTHWEST COAST AND LARGE HUDSON BAY LOW.  ANOTHER WINDY DAY FOR ROCK
SPRINGS THROUGH CASPER TODAY AS PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS TIGHT OVER
THE AREA. WINDS AT CODY HAVE CALMED DOWN WITH PRESSURE FALLS TO THEIR
WEST WEAKENING THE LEE TROF THAT EXTENDED IN THE BIG HORN BASIN
EARLIER. JOHNSON COUNTY 55 TO 60 DEGREES TODAY.  WEATHER LOOKS FAIRLY
QUIET THROUGH MONDAY WITH THE WIND SLACKING OFF A BIT IN THE WIND
CORRIDOR.  NEXT WEATHER FEATURE STILL WELL OFF THE WEST COAST.  SOME
ENERGY FROM THIS FEATURES SHEARS AWAY AND JOINS A CHUNK OF ENERGY
ROUNDING THE HUDSON LOW.  THIS WILL DROP SOUTH OVER WYOMING TUESDAY
NIGHT BRINGING A CHANCE OF SNOW TO THE WEST MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY.
TRANSITORY RIDGE THEN BUILDS IN WEDNESDAY WITH THE NEXT WAVE ON ITS
HEELS. FORECAST PROBLEM WILL BE EAST OF THE DIVIDE TRYING TO
DETERMINE HOW FAR WEST COLD FRONT WILL PROGRESS. IT WILL HAVE TO
BATTLE WEST TO SOUTHWEST FLOW.  MODELS MAINLY HAVE IT PROGRESSING
AS FAR WEST AS JOHNSON AND NATRONA COUNTIES.  LOOKS GOOD FOR TUESDAY
THOUGH TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY I HAVE GOOD CONFIDENCE IT WILL
MAKE TO THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE.  BEING JANUARY...FEEL COLD AIR WILL
SLIP RIGHT UNDERNEATH WARMER AIR. MODELS TRYING TO BRING UP SOME LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE IN THE SOUTHEAST FLOW AROUND SURFACE HIGH INTO THE
CWA.  FOR SNOW HAVE CHANCE OF POPS TUESDAY NIGHT IN JOHNSON...NATRONA
AND BIG HORNS.  JOHNSON AND BIG HORNS WEDNESDAY. COLDEST AIR WILL
STAY NORTH AND EAST OF THE AREA...BUT BIG CHANGE ON THE WAY FOR THOSE
IN THE 40S AND 50S TODAY AND TOMORROW.    TWB

...WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY...
THE SAGA REMAINS ON HOW LONG THE COLD AIR WILL HANG AROUND EAST OF
THE DIVIDE. FIRST...WEST OF THE DIVIDE IT WILL REMAIN FAIRLY MILD
THROUGH THE PERIOD. IF THE LONG RANGE MODELS ON TARGET A SERIES OF
WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL MOVE OVER/THROUGH THE MEAN RIDGE IN THE WEST
U.S. AND BRING MOISTURE INTO W/NW WYOMING AT TIMES. THUS POPS IN THE
FORECAST NEARLY EACH DAY WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF POPS IN THE MTNS.
SOUTHWEST ZONES TO REMAIN MOSTLY DRY THROUGH SUNDAY. EAST OF THE
DIVIDE THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY MOVE OUT DURING THE DAY
THURSDAY BUT TRY AND MOVE BACK IN THURS NT/FRI AM BEHIND A PASSING WX
SYSTEM. HAVE NOT STRAYED FAR FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST AND WOULD LIKE
TO SHOW CONSISTENT FORECAST TREND UNTIL THIS ARCTIC AIRMASS DECIDES
WHAT COURSE IT WANTS TO TAKE. THE OVERALL WINTER PATTERN SO FAR HAS
BEEN FOR THE COLD AIR TO LAST ONLY A FEW DAYS FOLLOWED BY WARMER AIR
(EXCEPT THE SNOW COVERED BASINS THAT GET TRAPPED IN THE INVERSION).

Subject:   children's programming

  I am so disgusted with the state of childrens programming on
the commercial  networks that I have 'unplugged' the television
altogether.  I simply called  the cable company and unsubscribed. 
I don't have an antenna on the roof, so  if we turn on the TV,
all we see is fuzz (which probably has a higher  educational
content than any of the children's programs offered by NBC, ABC, 
or CBS).  The only thing my kids watch are videos that we select
together.   
  I intend to keep it this way until the networks have made a
responsible effort  to clean up their garbage and offer programs
similar to those offered by the  public television stations. 
  A by-product of my decision is that NO ONE in my house watches
a single  television commercial -- and won't until TV gets
cleaned up!! 
  Please support the effort to regulate children's television. 
This should  include a quality check to ensure that so-called
'educational' programming  really has some value.  The
prime-times are morning (6:30-8:30), weekend  mornings, and after
school.

TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  1293
SUBJECT: XMM-Newton observation of GRB020322
DATE:    02/03/22 20:46:15 GMT
FROM:    Norbert Schartel at XMM-Newton/ESA  <nscharte@xmm.vilspa.esa.es>

M. Ehle, P. Rodriguez-Pascual, N. Loiseau, M. Santos-Lleo,
R. Gonzalez-Riestra, E. Verdugo, L. Tomas and N. Schartel
report:

A XMM-Newton TOO observation of GRB020322 (L. Piro: GCN 1290)
started at 18:18 UT with RGS, 18:46 UT with EPIC/MOS and
19:17 UT with EPIC/pn.

A preliminary analysis of Quick Look data of the EPIC images
confirms a relatively bright source inside the BeppoSAX MECS
error circle as reported by G. Gandolfi (GCN 1291). The
coordinates are:
   R.A.(J2000)  = 18h 01m 03.4s
   Decl.(J2000) = 81d 06m 30.7s
The count rates of the source are estimated to be 0.1 [counts/sec]
in EPIC/pn and 0.05 in EPIC/MOS, respectively.

At this stage the position error is expected to be less than 6".
QUESTION:
What happens to an experiment if something needed gets left behind? Will
they still do part of it, or is it lost altogether?

ANSWER from Louis Ostrach on November 19, l997
The simple answer is: our staff have a great deal of experience
identifying each and every item that will be needed to prepare the
experiment on the ground at the launch site, to perform the experiment on
board the shuttle, and to complete the experiment processing at the
landing site. Even so, we rehearse, just as the actors and stagehands, and
musicians would for a play. We perform a number of tests to be sure that
the people, facilities, and procedures are all in place and ready to be
used at the right time. The first of these is called the Experiment
Verification Test which runs through the entire preflight, inflight, and
postflight timeline with every scientist and every experiment procedure
performed on the ground. For this test, we pretend that we have a spacelab
but we do go through all the procedures. Then we perform a series of tests
called Mission Integrated Simulations and Joint Integrated Simulations
where the shuttle crew performs the inflight experiment procedures inside
an exact replica of the spacelab with replicas of all the experiment
equipment and supplies. Finally, we also perform a Facility Trial Run
where we assemble all the scientists, their staff, and our staff at the
launch site (Kennedy Space Center) to test the facilities - the labs, the
equipment, the timeline of our planned preflight and postflight
procedures, etc. By performing all of these tests and by keeping careful
track of forgotten items or missing people, or inadequate lab space, or
whatever, we can assure ourselves and the scientists that when we launch
for real, we will have everything in its place. The we hope that all
the equipment performs properly and that the mission returns to Earth
safely.

Subject: File No. S7-11-04 mandatory mutual fund redemption fees

The rule should permit, as the current laws allow, a mutual fund to charge a
redemption fee but not mandate such a fee for all funds.  Mandating redemption
fees constitutes government mandated expense to the investor to protect the
mutual fund.  We do not need the government protecting the mutual fund from
the investor.    Mutual funds are free to charge redemption fees and many funds
currently do, even some held by financial intermediaries and even low cost or
no cost mutual funds and especially even small mutual funds.  The free market
can decide better whether redemption fees should be charged and the government
should stay out of this arena.  The idea that there is competitive pressure
 not to charge redemption fees and therefore the government must step in to
make a uniform enforcement fee is Big Brother at its worst.  What else in the
trading world is Big Brother going to protect the investor or mutual fund from?
 Abrupt changes in share value from changes in stock value caused by excessive
selling?  The stock market, by its nature, is fluidic and comprised of continually
changing prices. An investor who changes their mind and wants out should not
be precluded or hindered by government-forced penalty fees as this proposed
body of regulations suggests.  Let the mutual fund decide individually, based
on its own specific costs, whether or not a redemption fee or penalty is 
necessary, and if so at what percent or amount.   Doing what this body of 
regulations suggests mandates more paperwork and bureaucracy for mutual funds 
which already are amass in such bookkeeping requirements, the cost for which will 
be directly born by the mutual fund investors as a group.

Date:     10/16, Tuesday

Abstract:

Anatomical modeling and medical image registrations are very important
in medical image analysis areas. Anatomical atlases are useful tools
to study human anatomical structures and diagnose abnormal anatomical
variations. Registration techniques enable two subjects to be analyzed
in a common frame of reference. The combination of anatomical atlases
and deformable medical image registration techniques can benefit
several medical applications, including Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD)
and Computer Integrated Surgery (CIS).

In this work, a statistical bone density atlas is built based on
hierarchical tetrahedral mesh structures. The atlas is a volumetric
model incorporating both the shape and the density properties. An
efficient method is developed to construct hierarchical tetrahedral
meshes from CT data sets of bony anatomy. Then bone density variations
are approximated by means of continuous density functions written as
smooth Bernstein polynomials in the barycentric coordinates of a
tetrahedron. Furthermore a statistical model is computed from a
collection of training models using the Principal Component Analysis
method.

Investigations on deformable 2D/3D and 3D/3D registrations between the
statistical atlas and medical images like CT and X-Rays have been
carried out. In the deformable registrations, both shape and density
properties of the atlas are utilized in a Powells optimization
algorithm to minimize energy functions. And a novel multiple-layer
flexible mesh template matching method is proposed to achieve the
local deformation and alignment between the atlas and anatomical
structures.  In 2D/3D registrations, core techniques, such as
fluoroscopic image distortion corrections and co-registrations, have
been developed. And different similarity measures and number of views
have been tested in the experiments.

Sunday, July 22, 2001, 6 a.m. CDTSTATUS REPORT: STS-104-21

STS-104 MISSION CONTROL CENTER STATUS REPORT #21

The crew of Atlantis took a spin around the International Space 
Station this morning after undocking on time at 11:54 p.m. CDT 
Saturday, some 240 miles above the coast of Newfoundland.

Pilot Charlie Hobaugh was at the shuttle&rsquo;s aft flight deck 
controls for the fly-around, which allowed the shuttle crew to take a 
parting look at the newly installed airlock, Quest, and the four 
large air supply tanks they had delivered.

Commander Steve Lindsey, Hobaugh and Mission Specialists Janet 
Kavandi, Mike Gernhardt and Jim Reilly, had spent 196 hours, 46 
minutes &ndash; or more than 8 days &ndash; docked to the station, 
working with Expedition Two Commander Yury Usachev and Flight 
Engineers Jim Voss and Susan Helms to install, checkout and christen 
the station&rsquo;s newest asset.

A final separation burn at 1:14 a.m. CDT Sunday put Atlantis on its 
initial course for home, with landing scheduled for 11:37 p.m. CDT 
Monday at Kennedy Space Center.

The entire Atlantis crew took time out to discuss the mission with CNN 
and Fox News early Sunday, then got ready for bed about 7:30 a.m. The 
shuttle astronauts will awaken at 5:34 p.m. CDT Sunday and begin 
stowing gear and testing Atlantis&rsquo; systems that will be used 
during re-entry and landing.

Back on the station, the Expedition Two crew will go to bed about 1 
p.m. Sunday, then enjoy a day of off-duty time following the busy 
shuttle stay and begin shifting back to its regular schedule. So far, 
the Expedition Two crew has spent 136 days in space. The trio will be 
replaced by Expedition Three Commander Frank Culbertson and Flight 
Engineers Vladimir Dezhurov and Mikhail Tyurin next month during 
Discovery&rsquo;s STS-105 mission.

All systems aboard both Atlantis and the International Space Station 
continue to function normally as the two spacecraft orbit the Earth 
independently once again.

The next mission status report will be issued about 6 p.m. Sunday or 
as events warrant.

      Abstract
To understand better the annual cycles of atmospheric humidity,
radiosonde data were used to create climatologies of temperature, dew
point, relative humidity, and precipitable water in the lower
troposphere for 56 locations around the world for the period 1973–1990.
On the basis of the annual ranges of relative humidity at the surface
and at the 850, 700, and 500 mbar levels and the ratio of the annual
maximum to minimum surface to 500-mbar precipitable water, we have
defined five humidity regimes: (1) middle- and high-latitude
continental, (2) middle- and high-latitude oceanic, (3) mid-latitude
monsoon, (4) tropical oceanic, and (5) tropical monsoon. For each regime
we describe the annual cycles of temperature and humidity variables and
discuss phase relationships among them. Relative humidity ranges are
small in the first two regimes, where precipitable water and temperature
vary in phase. Relative humidity ranges in the other three regimes are
moderate to large, and in the tropics the annual march of horizontal
moisture advection and vertical convection, not temperature, controls
seasonal humidity variations. These results suggest that the assumption
of constant relative humidity made in some climate models is not always
justified and that precipitable water is not a strong function of
temperature in the tropics. © American Geophysical Union 1992

FOR YOUR INFORMATION...................January 12, 1988

     Hospital Corp. of America has asked the Federal Trade
Commission to approve the proposed sale of North Park Hospital in
Hamilton County, Tenn., to HealthCorp Inc.
     Commission approval of the divestiture is required by an FTC
order that became final in 1987.  Under that order, HCA must
divest North Park Hospital and Diagnostic Center Hospital, both
in the Chattanooga, Tenn., area.  The order stems from a 1982
complaint challenging HCA's acquisition of two hospital chains.
     HealthCorp, based in Chattanooga, operates four hospitals in
Alabama and Arkansas.  HCA is based in Nashville, Tenn.
     The petition will be subject to public comment for 30 days,
until Feb. 11.  Comments should be addressed to Office of the
Secretary, Federal Trade Commission, 6th St. and Pennsylvania
Ave. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20580.
     Copies of the petition are available from the FTC's Public
Reference Branch, Room 130, same address; 202-326-2222; TTY 202-

Dwight's Mission. His view of the country through which he passed must have been discouraging.807 There was little to subsist upon and the few Indians lingering there were in a deplorable state of deprivation, little food, little clothing608 and it was winter-time.
So desolate and abandoned did the Cherokee country appear that General Blunt considered it would be easily possible to hold it with his Indian force alone, three regiments, yet he said no more about the immediate return of the refugees,809 but issued an order for their removal to Neosho. The wisdom of his action might well be questioned since the expense of supporting them there would be immeasurably greater than in Kansas610 unless, indeed, the military authorities intended to assume the entire charge of them.811 Special Agent Martin regarded some talk that was rife of letting them forage upon  the  impoverished people  of  Missouri  as
607 It was not discouraging to Blunt, however. His letter referring to it was even sanguine [Official Records, vol. xiii, 785-786].
608 Martin to Coffin, December 20, 1862.
609 The Interior Department considered it, however, and consulted with the War Department as late as the twenty-sixth. See Register of Letters Received, vol. D., p. 155.
610 Coffin to Henning, December 28, 1862, Indian Office Consolidated Files, Cherokee, C 17 of 1863.
611 Coffin's letter to Dole of December 20 [Indian Office General Files, Southern Superintendency, 1859-1862, C 1950] would imply that the superintendent expected that to be the case. He said, having reference to Martin's report, "... The statement of facts which he makes, from all the information I have from other sources, I have no doubt are strictly true and will no doubt meet your serious consideration.
"If the Programme as fixed up by the Military Officers, and which I learn Dr. Gillpatrick is the bearer to your city and the solicitor general to procure its adoption is carried out, the Indian Department, superintendent, and agents may all be dispensed with. The proposition reminds me of the Fable of the Wolves and the Shepherds, the wolves represented to the shepherds that it was very expensive keeping dogs to guard the sheep, which was wholly unnecessary; that if they would kill off the dogs, they, the wolves, would protect the sheep without any compensation whatever."

Subject:   filtering and young people

I work at the Evanston Public Library in Evanston, Illinois. We are a
community of 75,000 with approximately 7000 young people in grades K-8.

Our library board has chosen a policy on the Internet use, which does not
include filtering of any of the library's Internet stations. Because we are
a public library, not a school, parents _can_ and are encouraged to
accompany their children when using any of the library's collections or
services. We are not staffed at a level that can guarantee supervision of
young people in their use of the library so parents are expected to do so.

We have, in the Children's Room, 5 Macintosh computers with what we are
calling *focused access* to the Internet. This focus enables us to select
appropriate sites to make available to our patrons using the same standards
we would to select other materials for inclusion in our collection. Rather
than blocking supposedly objectionable sites based on stop words or terms
over which the library has little or no control, we have developed a method
for creating a positive list of sites to include. This method has been
successful in that it has proven more *hack proof* than the filters some of
my colleagues use at their libraries. Most librarians I have spoken to whom
I have indicated that the more sophisticated young people have been able to
find ways around the filters to the materials the filters have intended to
block.

This focused access means that our sites are accessible through subject
categories, which have been shown to be more effective than web search
engines for use with young people because of their need for closer guidance
when formulating initial search strategies in order to be successful in
locating the information they need. We are in the process of making our
subject index of web sites more helpful and responsive by developing a
program that will enable the children's room staff to add and delete sites
without needing to go through our Information Services department.

Because our Internet stations in the adult reference collection are
filter-free, but not age-restricted, young adults who need more
sophisticated search strategies to meet their information needs have access

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR THE FLORIDA KEYS AND ADJACENT 
COASTAL WATERS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

...MODERATE RISK OF WATERSPOUTS THIS AFTERNOON...

CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR A CUMULUS CLOUD LINE TO DEVELOP JUST 
NORTH OF THE LOWER KEYS THIS AFTERNOON. LIGHT WINDS SHOULD ALLOW THE 
CUMULUS CLOUD LINE TO MATURE ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY PRODUCE 
WATERSPOUTS. THE MOST FAVORABLE LOCATION FOR WATERSPOUT FORMATION 
THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE OVER THE GULF WATERS JUST NORTH OF SUGARLOAF 
KEY TO KEY WEST. WATERSPOUTS ARE MOST LIKELY TO FORM UNDER A LARGE 
CLOUD BUILDUP WITH A DARK FLAT BASE. IF A WATERSPOUT IS 
SIGHTED...MOVE AWAY FROM IT AS QUICKLY AND SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. 
REPORT WATERSPOUT SIGHTINGS DIRECTLY TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE 
BY CALLING 3 0 5...2 9 5...1 3 1 6...EXTENSION 3. 

NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME TONIGHT. 

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY 

ANOTHER CUMULUS CLOUD LINE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP NEAR THE LOWER 
KEYS WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. LIGHT WINDS SHOULD ALLOW THE CUMULUS CLOUD 
LINE TO MATURE ENOUGH TO POTENTIALLY PRODUCE WATERSPOUTS.

OTHERWISE...NO HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS EXPECTED AT THIS TIME TUESDAY 
THROUGH SUNDAY.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT ANTICIPATED.

I.   File Organization:

     The files in the Residential Housing Patterns directory contain 19 indexes of
     residential housing patterns for each race/ethnicity group and place.
     There is one record per race/ethnicity group and place. There is one file 
     for each year and each race/ethnicity group and one file for each year with 
     all groups combined. All indexes were calculated using Non-Hispanic Whites as 
     the reference group.  The unit of analysis is the census tract.  The number 
     of race/ethnicity groups and places are indicated below.

river, we turned to the left and started toward the village.
By this manceuver we had avoided discovery by the Sioux scouts, and we were confident of giving them a complete surprise. Keeping the command wholly out of sight, until we were within a mile of the Indians, the General halted the advance guard until all closed up, and then issued an order, that, when he sounded the charge, the whole command was to rush into the village.
As we halted on the top of the hill overlooking the camp of the unsuspecting Indians, General Carr called out to his bugler: "Sound the charge !"  The bugler for a moment became intensely excited, and actually forgot the notes. The General again sang out: "Sound the charge !" and yet the bugler was unable to obey the command. Quartermaster Hays-who had obtained permission to accompany the expedition-was riding near the General, and comprehending the dilemma of the man, rushed up to him, jerked the bugle from his hands and sounded the charge himself in clear and distinct notes. As the troops rushed forward, he threw the bugle away, then drawing his pistols, was among the first men that entered the village.
The Indians had just driven up their horses and were preparing to make a move of the camp, when they saw the soldiers coming down upon them. A great many of them succeeded in jumping upon their ponies, and, leaving every thing behind them, advanced out of the village and prepared to meet the charge; but upon second thought they quickly concluded that it was useless to try to check us, and, those who were mounted rapidly rode away, while the others on foot fled for safety to the neighboring hills. We went through their village shooting right and left at everything we saw. The Pawnees, the regular soldiers and the officers were all mixed up together, and the Sioux were flying /in every direction.                                ' X
General Carr had instructed the command that when they entered the village, they must keep a sharp look out Afr

of a rugged and broken character. Rocks are seldom to be found in the immediate valley or bed of the river. The forests are more dense and heavy, and contain several trees not enumerated in the foregoing list, viz. white-oak, ash, hickory, water-maple, white-walnut, linden, elm, &c. The pine and white-birch become more abundant, and attain a more stately size.
From the estimates above given, making some allowance for the general descent of the river, it will appear that the surface of Rainy Lake is elevated about sixty feet above that of the Lake of the Woods, or four hundred and seventy feet above that of Lake Winnepeek.
Pursuing our course upwards we passed through Rainy, Sturgeon, La Croix, Upper Sturgeon, Dore, Cannibal, and Thousand Lakes, besides numerous others of less note and size, and also the channels by which they are connected, which, in the language of the voyagers, are denominated rivers, and known by various names, before we reach the dividing ridge between the waters of Lakes Winnepeek and Superior. Several routes are practicable through this part of the country, but the one we pursued is said to be-the most frequented. The route connected with the Grand Portage, which was the only route frequented till within a few years, is united to the new route by two channels, one branching off at Lac de la Croix, and the other at Upper Sturgeon Lake, both of which unite in Lake Saganaga, and enter Lake Superior at Pigeon river.
The country along these routes is very similar to that on Winnepeek river, though of an aspect somewhat more inviting. Patches of ground susceptible of cultivation, here and there present themselves. The trees of the forest exhibit a greater variety, and attain a larger size; as we approach the dividing ridge between the waters of Lake Su-

HISTORY OF SETTLEMENTS AND TRADE

book merchants in the kingdom, defirous of trading at the
__. great fairs of the Low Countries. In order to fix ;
greater number of people to the labours of hulbandry
it was enaded, that no perfon fliould put his Son or
daughter out to any kind of apprenticeship, without
being poffefled of a revenue of twenty-two livres ten
fols [18s. 4d.] in landed property : this abfurd law was
afterwards mitigated.
Unfortunately that law which regulated the price
of all forts of provifions, of woollens, of workmen?
wages, of fluffs, and of clothing, was maintained in full
force.    Other impediments even were thrown in the
way of commerce, on account of fome pernicious com-
binations that were fet on foot.   It was a circumftance
then unknown, that money, which is the reprefentative
of every thing, is, in its turn, reprefented by all ven-
dible articles ; that it is a commodity, which, like all
others, muft be left to itfelf; that the value of it mutt
neceflarily riSe or diminifh every inftant, from an infi-
nite number of different incidents ; that every regula-
tion of policy upon this matter cannot but be abfurd
and detrimental ; that one of the means of multiply-
ing'ufurers is to forbid ufury, becaufe this prohibition
becomes an exclufive privilege for any one who fets
the fenfe of Shame at defiance ; that every law is ridi-
culous, whenever there are politive means of eluding
it; that the general competition which would ariSe
from an  unlimited liberty  of trading  with money,
would neceflarily reduce it to a lower intereft ; that
ruinous loans, which it is the intention to prevent,
would be leSs frequent, fince the borrower would have
nothing to pay but the value of the money borrow-
ed ; whereas, in the prefent ftate of things, we mutt
add to this value the price which the ufurer fets upon
his confcience, upon his honour, and upon the riik he
runs from committing an illegal ad ; a price which
rifes in proportion to the fcarcity of ufurers, and to the
rigour with which the prohibitive law is obferved.
From the fame want of difcernment, the exporta-
tion of money in any kind of coin was forbidden;

{description}   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Damon Petty, with United Space
                Alliance, removes a piece of insulation blanket from an oven
                after heat cleaning. The blankets fit inside the nose cap of an
                orbiter. They consist of layered, pure silica felt sandwiched
                between a layer of silica fabric (the hot side) and a layer of S-
                Glass fabric. The blanket is through-stitched with pure silica
                thread in a 1-inch grid pattern. After fabrication, the blanket
                is bonded directly to the vehicle structure and finally coated
                with a high purity silica coating that improves erosion
                resistance. The blankets are semi-rigid and can be made as large
                as 30 inches by 30 inches.

To Whom it may concern: 
I am writing to petition the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), on behalf of Kent State University (KSU) Flight Operations for an exemption from Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Paragraph 135.251, 135.255,135.353 and Appendices I and J to Part 121.  The purpose of this exemption would permit KSU to conduct local sightseeing flights in the vicinity of Stow, Ohio for its community Aviation Day on September 11 & 12 2004 without complying with certain anti-drug and alcohol misuse prevention requirements of Part 135.
Aviation Day is a two day event that occurs annually at the KSU Airport (1G3). Aviation Day promotes General Aviation among neighboring communities and we like to use this opportunity to sell sightseeing flights. This year will mark the eight Aviation Day at KSU.  We will offer airplane rides at a reasonable rate for the benifit of the Kent State University Precision Flight Team, a member of the National Intercollegiate Flying Association (NIFA).  We plan to offer these rides on Saturday, September 11 and Sunday September 12 2004.
All fo our flights are conducted by Cetified Flight Instructors that are employed be KSU.  On Aviatiion Day they donate their time to offer these rides to the community.  While requesting an exemption from the above regulations, we wil comply with Title 14 C. F. R. 135.249 and 135.253.
Please grant KSU exemptions from the anti-drug and alcohol misuse prevention requirements of Part 135 and 121.  Feel free to contact me at (330)672 1933 or raclark3@kent.edu.
Best regards,
Richard Clark Chief Flight Instructor, Kent State University
