PREFACE
My debt to the subject of this memoir must
on every page be apparent to the reader, but
I wish here to make formal acknowledgment
of it. Without La Farge's aid I could not have
made my study biographical as well as critical.
I have also to thank, for many helpful courte-
sies, Miss Grace Edith Barnes, in the last ten
years of his life his private secretary and ap-
pointed by him the executrix of his estate. He
made her familiar with much in his career, and
the light she has thus been enabled to throw
upon it has been generously shared with me.
I am under obligation to Mr. Henry Adams
for material of great importance, embracing
the letters addressed to him from which I have
quoted, the notable analysis extracted from
his privately printed " Education of Henry
Adams," and some further reflections on his
old friend and fellow-traveller in Japan and
the South Seas. Mr. James Huneker has been
kind enough to lend me a sheaf of La Farge's
letters to him. A note from the late Augustus
Saint-Gaudens is reproduced by the permis-
sion of his son, Homer Saint-Gaudens, and of

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NEWPORT/MOREHEAD CITY NC
200 AM EDT MON JUL 28 2003

BOTH ETA AND GFS IN OVERALL AGREEMENT WITH MAJOR FEATURES TO AFFECT 
THE CWA THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY. TRANSITION FROM ZONAL FLOW TO AN 
UPPER TROF...ALTHOUGH IT DOES NOT APPEAR AS AMPLIFIED THIS RUN AS 
YESTERDAY. UPPER SUPPORT SHEARS OUT SHEARS OUT BY LATE TUE AND EARLY 
WED AND SHOULD PREVENT ASCD SFC FRONT FROM PUSHING COMPLETELY THRU 
THE CWA. HOWEVER PROXIMITY OF THE SFC BOUNDARY WILL LEAD TO GREATER 
INSTABILITY AND BETTER CHANCES FOR PCPN STARTING LATE TUE INTO WED. 
WILL ADJUST POPS DOWN ALONG THE COAST TODAY AS SIMILAR SET UP TO 
YESTERDAY SHOULD RESULT IN ANY SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY DEVELOPING 
FARTHER INLAND. WILL UP POPS LATE TUE INTO TUE EVNG IN RESPONSE TO 
SFC BOUNDARY THEN MAINTAIN GOOD CHANCE THRU WED.

MODELS INDICATE SFC BOUNDARY LIFTING SLOWLY NORTH ON THUR WHICH 
SHOULD LEAD TO A LESSENING OF PCPN CHANCES ACROSS THE CWA WITH BEST 
CHANCES STILL WEST AND NORTH. GFS SHOWS NEXT SIG UPPER TROF SWINGING 
INTO THE WRN PORTIONS OF NC BY FRI. AHEAD OF THIS SHOULD SEE SOME 
SEA BREEZE ACTIVITY BUT WILL LIKELY BE SAT BEFORE AFFECTS OF THIS 
TROF ARE FELT IN THE CWA AND EVEN THEN BEST UPPER SUPPORT SHOULD BE 
SHEARED OUT WELL TO THE NORTH AND EAST OF THE REGION.

WITH HIGH TEMPS IN THE 90 TO 95 RANGE AND RATHER HIGH DEW POINTS 
ACROS THE INTERIOR SECTIONS OF THE CWA TODAY WILL LIKELY SEE HIGH 
INDEX VALUES IN THE 100 TO 105 RANGE BUT DO NOT FEEL 105 WILL BE 
WIDESPREAD ENOUGH OR LAST LONG ENOUGH TO WARRANT AN ADVISORY. WILL 
HEADLINE 100 TO 105 FOR TODAY.

MARINE: BNDRY APPROACHES THRU TUE AND HANGS UP SOMEWHERE ACRS THE 
AREA LATER TUE INTO WED BEFORE LIFTING BACK N AGAIN. WL GO WITH SW 
THEN S (BY LATE THU OR FRI) WINDS BLO SCA CRITERIA. HOWEVER GIVEN 
SOME RECENT REPORTS AND PROGS ONE COULD ARGUE FOR "CAUTION" 
HEADLINES FOR EARLY IN THE FORECAST...BUT FOR NOW WL HOLD OFF

Dating of Australian Remains Backs Theory of Early Migration of Humans 
article by Nicholas Wade 
www.nytimes.com/2003/02/19/science/19HUMA.html

Through a unique method of dating based on sand deposits and the number of electrons they have absorbed through epochs of time, scientists have determined that the remains of an adult man in Lake Mungo, previously thought to have been 62,000 years old, is most likely in the region of 42,000 years. This discovery is a no small find; it goes to support, rather than contradict, the theory that a change 50,000 years ago endowed human beings with the abilities to travel and discover new habitats. 

It is believed that the first modern humans moved out of Africa 50,000 years ago. The uranium dating that showed that the adult man in Australia was 62,000 years old, obviously, challenges this popular opinion. However, now that the date has been shown to be 42,000 years rather than 62,000, everything makes much more sense, and a serious challenge to the out of Africa 50,000 years ago theory has been refuted. The article also mentions the supposed change that took place. The archaeological record displays that a number of advanced behaviors such as trade and art appeared in Africa around 50,000 years ago. Many scientists have differing opinions on why this is true; one widely-held view is that a gene could have possibly brought about language, which would definitely have given a society a quantum leap in organization and communication. 

After reading this article, I was curious as to where the out of Africa 50,000 years ago theory came from. In addition, I would have liked to know why the uranium dating provided a result that was about 20,000 years off! Furthermore, the mention of a language gene dumfounded me. It just didnt quite make any sense as to how a gene could make us more able to communicate, or more able to create a language. All in all, this was a very interesting article that definitely has made me more interested in us, a long, long time ago.

Title: STS-26 Mission Specialist Nelson in LES prior to JSC WETF emergency exercises

Description:

STS-26 Discovery, Orbiter Vehicle (OV) 103, Mission Specialist (MS) George
D.  Nelson, wearing newly designed (navy blue) launch and entry suit (LES),
gets  some moral support from Aimee Tess Nelson, his sixteen-year-old
lifeguard  daughter.  Nelson was about to participate in a simulation of
escape and  rescue operations utilizing the crew escape system (CES) pole
mode of egress  from the Space Shuttle. Nelson is equipped with the LES
partial pressure suit  and parachute gear.
The location of the open-closed magnetic field line boundary in the dawn sector 
auroral ionosphere

J. A. Wild, S. E. Milan, C. J. Owen, J. M. Bosqued, M. Lester, D. M. Wright, 
H. Frey, C. W. Carlson, A. N. Fazakerley, H. Reme


As a measure of the degree of coupling between the solar wind-magnetosphere-
ionosphere systems, the rate at which the size of the polar cap (the region
corresponding to ionospheric termini of open magnetic flux tubes) varies is of
prime importance. However, a reliable technique by which the extent of the polar
cap might be routinely monitored has yet to be developed. Current techniques
provide particularly ambiguous indications of the polar cap boundary in the dawn
sector. We present a case study of space- and ground-based observations of the
dawn-sector auroral zone and attempt to determine the location of the polar cap
boundary using multi-wavelength observations of the ultraviolet aurora (made by
the IMAGE FUV imager), precipitating particle measurements (recorded by the
FAST, DMSP, and Cluster 1 and 3 satellites), and SuperDARN HF radar observations
of the ionospheric Doppler spectral width boundary. We conclude that in the dawn
sector, during the interval presented, neither the poleward edge of the wideband
auroral UV emission (140-180nm) nor the Doppler spectral width boundary were
trustworthy indicators of the polar cap boundary location, while narrow band UV
emissions in the range 130-140nm appear to be much more reliable.

OCC 2004-53  
OCC Bulletin
Subject:      Civil Money Penalty Inflation-adjustment Amendment         
Description:  Final Rule
Date:         November 22, 2004
TO:  Chief Executive Officers of All National Banks, Federal
     Branches and Agencies, Department and Division Heads, and 
     All Examining Personnel
On November 10, 2004, the Office of the Comptroller of the
Currency (OCC) published in the Federal Register the attached
final rule amending its rules of practice and procedure to adjust
the maximum amount of each civil money penalty (CMP) within its
jurisdiction.  The effective date of the adjustments is December
10, 2004.  The adjustments apply only to violations that occur
after that date.
The Inflation Adjustment Act requires the OCC, as well as other
federal agencies with CMP authority, to publish regulations to
adjust each CMP authorized by law that the agency has
jurisdiction to administer.  The purpose of these adjustments is
to maintain the deterrent effect of CMPs and to promote
compliance with the law.  The Inflation Adjustment Act requires
the adjustments to be made at least once every four years
following the initial adjustment.  The OCC's prior adjustment to
each CMP was published in the Federal Register and became
effective on December 11, 2000.  The rule revises the table that
appears at 12 CFR 19.240.  The table identifies the statutes that
provide the OCC with CMP authority, describes the different tiers
of penalties provided in each statute (as applicable), and sets
out the inflation-adjusted maximum penalty that the OCC may
impose pursuant to each statutory provision.
The final rule also makes a technical correction to correct a
numbering error.  The final rule amends subpart O by combining
sections 19.240 and 19.241 into section 19.240 and removes 19.241
from subpart O.  Revised section 19.240 is divided into
paragraphs (a) and (b).  Former section 19.240 becomes paragraph
(a) and former section 19.241 becomes paragraph (b).  Section
19.241 in subpart P is unchanged.

Geochemistry of Ground Water at and Near Fernley Wildlife Management Area, 
Lyon County, Nevada

Abstract

	The geochemistry of ground water in a shallow alluvial-
lacustrine aquifer beneath the Fernley Wildlife Management Area and vicinity 
in northwestern Nevada was studied as part of the Department of the Interior 
irrigation-drainage program to determine sources of potentially toxic elements 
found in aquatic biota. The aquifer consists of unconsolidated silt and clay 
with some sand and gravel layers, and is composed of volcanic-lithic fragments 
(plagioclase, augite, and hypersthene in a felsitic groundmass), quartz, 
feldspars, micas, mafic minerals, and clay minerals. The ground water ranges 
from a dilute sodium-bicarbonate type water (dissolved solids, about 360 
milligrams per liter) to a very saline sodium-chloride type (dissolved solids, 
about 16,000 milligrams per liter). The pH ranges from 7.5 to 8.7, and the 
Eh ranges from strongly oxidizing to slightly reducing.

	A geochemical-reaction model was constructed from water quality 
data, mineralogic data, and thermodynamic calculations. The model results 
indicate that the major-element aqueous chemistry is controlled by 
precipitation-dissolution reactions, exchange processes, and 
evapotranspiration. Calcite and montmorillonite are precipitating and gypsum 
and volcanic-rock fragments (as seen visually) are dissolving within the 
aquifer. Clay-mineral surfaces are adsorbing calcium and releasing sodium. The 
trace elements antimony, arsenic, boron, molybdenum, phosphorus, uranium, 
and vanadium probably are derived from dissolution of volcanic-rock 
fragments or surface coatings on aquifer material. Evapotranspiration 
concentrates the dissolved elements. These processes in combination account 
for the large increase in concentrations of dissolved solids and trace 
elements observed in the shallow ground water.
28    TFROM MILBANK SOUND TO DIXON ENTIRANO0.
The mountains rise more abruptly, granite cliffs tower perpendicularly, their front glistening with glacier polish and latticed over with fine cascades; more waterfalls and land-slides are reflected in the glassy reaches; great alcoves on the heights betray the hidden lakes, and side cafions, lesser Yosemites, lead away into the wilderness of Princess Royal Island. In McKay Reach and Wright Sound there is no bottom at 225 fathoms.
At Wright Sound submerged peaks stand as islands; six diverging channels open, and the tourist with an Admiralty Chart is as puzzled as were Caamano and Vancouver a century ago, to know which way leads on or out to the ocean.
Gardner Canal or Inlet.
Ursula and Devastation Channels, behind Gribbel Island, lead to the grand canal which Vancouver named for Vice-Admiral Sir Alan Gardner, who recommended that Vancouver be given charge of the expedition to Nootka and the Northwest Coast. Whidbey explored it in that summer of 1793, and reported that it was "almost an entirely barren waste, nearly destitute of wood and verdure, and presenting to the eye one rude mass of almost naked rocks, rising into rugged mountains, more lofty than any he had before seen, whose towering summits seeming to overhang their bases gave them a tremendous appearance. The whole was covered with perpetual ice and snow that reached, in the gullies formed between the mountains, close down to the highwater mark, and many waterfalls of various dimensions were seen to descend in every direction "-a description that might as coldly describe the Sogne Fiord, the Naerodal, the Yosemite, or any other rival canion's walls. But Mr. Whidbey went the 50 miles of its length, " where it terminated, as usual," and the explorer gave up getting into Hudson Bay by that route.
Tourists consider the Gardner Canal, or Kitlup Canon, the culmination of the scenery of the British Columbian coast, as it cleaves its narrowing way for 50 miles between gloomy walls, to where a great mountain blocks the end, with glaciers resting on its sides, cascades foaming down to join the sea, and cannery buildings dwarfed to toys at its base.
The Old Man, a conspicuous landmark on the cation walls, rises perpendicularly 2,000 ft. from the water, and soundings at its baseline give a depth of over 1,400 ft. The Islander has been laid alongside, and passengers have gathered ferns from the seamed and overhanging wall. Irving Falls, on the opposite wall, descend 2,000 ft. by successive leaps, and there is a fine frothy fall draining the glacier

1) apply changes to LUT before looping to use changed LUT for all images.
2) 2X zoom has a SGI bug that shows "seams" in the image on the screen.
3) second use of "h" or "H" enhancement will crash unless "X" is applied.
4) loops of zoomed & clipped images run faster than loops of entire image.
5) select ROI before looping creates loop of ROI only.
6) select ROI before "h" or "H" enhancement to optimize LUT for ROI.

{description}   Capt. Dennis E. Fitch, a consultant and former pilot instructor
                with United Airlines, addresses an audience of KSC employees to
                kick off Super Safety and Health Day at KSC. Fitch related his
                tale of the catastrophic engine failure in UAL flight 232, which
                crash landed in Iowa in 1989, and the teamwork that contributed
                to his survival and the lives of 183 other passengers. For the
                second time Kennedy Space Center dedicated an entire day to
                safety and health. Most normal work activities were suspended to
                allow personnel to attend Super Safety and Health Day activities.
                The theme, "Safety and Health Go Hand in Hand," emphasized KSC's
                commitment to place the safety and health of the public,
                astronauts, employees and space-related resources first and
                foremost. Events also included a panel session about related
                issues, vendor exhibits, and safety training in work groups. The
                keynote address and panel session were also broadcast internally
                over NASA television.

black-crowned night-herons from the Chesapeake Bay region, USA:
Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, v. 16, no. 11, p. 2315-2322.

Abstract

Black-crowned night-heron (Nycticorax nycticorax) offspring were collected
from a relatively uncontaminated coastal reference site (next to Chincoteague
National Wildlife Refuge, VA, USA) and two sites in the Chesapeake Bay
watershed (Baltimore Harbor, MD and Rock Creek Park, Washington, DC,
USA). Hepatic microsomal activities of benzyloxyresorufin-O-dealkylase and
ethoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase were significantly elevated (up to sixfold and
ninefold induction, respectively) in pipping embryos from the Baltimore
Harbor colony compared to the reference site, whereas values in embryos from
the Rock Creek Park colony were intermediate. Concentrations of
organochlorine pesticides and metabolites in pipping embryos from both sites
in the Chesapeake watershed were greater than at the reference site but below
the known threshold for reproductive impairment. However, concentrations of
10 arylhydrocarbon receptor-active polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners
and estimated toxic equivalents were up to 37-fold greater in embryos collected
from these two sites in the Chesapeake Bay region, with values for toxic
congeners 77 and 126 exceeding those observed in pipping heron embryos
from the Great Lakes. Monooxygenase activity of pipping embryos was
associated with concentrations of several organochlorine pesticides, total
PCBs, arylhydrocarbon receptor-active PCB congeners, and toxic equivalents (r
= 0.30-0.59), providing further evidence of the value of cytochrome P450 as a
biomarker of organic contaminant exposure. Organochlorine contaminant
levels were greater in 10-d-old nestlings from Baltimore Harbor than the
reference site but had no apparent effect on monooxygenase activity or growth.
These findings demonstrate induction of cytochrome P450 in pipping black-
crowned night-heron embryos in the Chesapeake Bay region, probably by
exposure to PCB congeners of local origin, and the accumulation of
organochlorine pesticides and metabolites in nestling herons from Baltimore
Harbor. Biomonitoring with additional waterbird species (e.g., bald eagle,
common tern, great blue heron) that appear to be more sensitive to PCBs than
black-crowned night-herons is recommended to document health of waterbirds
and remediation of the Chesapeake Bay.

QUESTION:
How does the lander right itself?
ANSWER from Robert Manning on February 3, 1997:
As you know, when the airbags are all fully inflated, the Mars Pathfinder
lander (with the rover snuggly tucked inside) looks like a lot like a
giant beach ball (17 feet in diameter). The lander is suspended in the
middle of the bags so that it can be protected from impacts from any
direction. Of course the reason for this design is that the lander
will hit the ground in any orientation and then bounce and roll in
an arbitrary direction. It will then come to a stop in any orientation
as well.
Given this, the design wouldn't be complete unless there was a means
for it to orient itself automatically after it comes to a stop. Since
the lander is shaped like a tetrahedron (a three-sided pyramid) there
are four sides that it can come to rest on after the bags deflate and
are retracted by retraction motors (there are three side petals plus
the base the lander's electronics are bolted to). The useful aspect
of this shape is that if you open up the petal that is on the "bottom"
after it comes to rest, the lander will roll over onto the base! We
attached a hefty electric motor to the hinges of each of the three side
petals.  Once the lander comes to rest, the on-board computer uses
accelerometer readings to determine which way is "down". It then opens
that petal using its motor which will do the job of rolling it over.
Once on its base, the other two motors open up the remaining two petals.
In parallel with all this, the airbags get retracted toward the petals
before they are fully opened so that they do not interfere with the petals
or the ability of the Sojourner rover to get off of the lander.

Glad the file came through okay.  This next file is a bit ugly, but it
may be easier to use in your program than something out of a spreadsheet.

   There are 1145 cores in the same order as the SST file, but this file
has 4 lines per core.  The first line doesn't contain any faunal data, so
you may skip it.  The next 3 lines contain 15 species per line following
the core id.  To read one line of data in from a FORTRAN program, use the
format (12X,15F4.0).  That will skip the core id and read in the 15 species
on the line.  The names and order of the 45 species are as follows:
    LINE 2                 LINE 3                  LINE 4
	1	=	O.Universa	        16	=	G. Digitata	        31	=	G. Hirsuta
	2	=	G. Conglobatus	    17	=	G. Rubescens	       32	=	G. Scitula
	3	=	G. Ruber (pink)	   18	=	G. Humilis         	33	=	G. Anfracta

	9	=	G. Sacc.(total)   	24	=	G. Hexagona        	39	=	G. Glutinata
	10	=	S. Dehiscens	     25	=	P. Obliquil.       	40	=	G. Iota
	11	=	G. Adamsi        	26	=	G. Inflata	         41	=	G. Bradyi
	12	=	G. Aequil.       	27	=	G. Trunc.(left)	    42	=	G. Pumilio
	13	=	G. Calida	        28	=	G. Trunc.(right)   	43	=	H. Pelagica

	15	=	G. Falconensis   	30	=	P-D Intergrade     	45	=	Other

   Note that these species values must be converted to proportion form to
use the analog method.  Most of these cores contain raw counts, while some
cores in the Pacific are in percents.

   If any of this is too confusing over email, just give me a call
(401-863-3626) and I'll try to clear it up.

   Good luck!

A Midsummer Trip to the Tropics.
ish glow.    Everywhere else the effect is that of looking
through very light-blue glasses. . . .
We steam under the colossal span of the mighty bridge ;
then for a little while Liberty towers above our passing,
seeming first to turn towards us, then to turn away from
us, the solemn beauty of her passionless face of bronze.
Tints brighten ;the heaven is growing a little bluer. A
breeze springs up. . . .
Then the water takes on another hue : pale-green
lights play through it. It has begun to sound. Little
waves lift up their heads as though to look at us,pat-
ting the flanks of the vessel, and whispering to one an-
other.
Far off the surface begins to show quick white flashes
here and there, and the steamer begins to swing. . . .
We are nearing Atlantic waters. The sun is high up
now, almost overhead : there are a few thin clouds in
the tender-colored sky,flossy, long-drawn-out, white
things. The horizon has lost its greenish glow : it is a
spectral blue. Masts, spars, rigging, the white boats
and the orange chimney,the bright deck-lines, and the
snowy rail,cut against the colored light in almost daz-
zling relief. Though the sun shines hot the wind is cold :
its strong irregular blowing fans one into drowsiness.
Also the somnolent chant of the enginesdo-do, hey ! do-
do, hey !lulls to sleep.
. . . Towards evening the glaucous sea-tint vanishes,
the water becomes blue. It is full of great flashes, as of
seams opening and reclosing over a white surface. It
spits spray in a ceaseless drizzle. Sometimes it reaches
up and slaps the side of the steamer with a sound as of
a great naked hand. The wind waxes boisterous. Swing-
ing ends of cordage crack like whips. There is an im-
mense humming that drowns speech,a humming made
up of many sounds : whining of pulleys, whistling of
riggings, flapping and fluttering of canvas, roar of net-

Subject: Morning after pill

To whom it may concern

I am writing voicing my concern about the push by some to have 
the FDA pass a law making it legal to dispense the "morning after
pill" over the counter.  It seems to me that this is being 
done under the guise that it will prevent abortions.  What it
really is doing is commiting abortion.  I believe that every 
man and women was born to this earth with one of the greatest
things--free agency.  We all have been given this ability to
act for ourselves.  The downfall of our society is that we are
not making people accountable for their actions.  Recently, in 
Reno, Nevada, a man has been accused of molesting dozens to 
hundreds of children with 500 video tapes as evidence.  Some of 
these kids and parents of these children are defending the action
of this child molester by saying that he is a "good guy."  This
should make us all sick that parents of children are supporting
a pervert who is molesting their children.  It is pretty obvious
that this man should be punished for his actions and be held 
accountable.  We should be equally outraged at the lack of 
accountablitity every day by those who get pregnant and treat the 
new zygote, embryo, fetus,  as though it were an unwelcome 
parasite.  The decision was made to have unprotected sex and 
that decision cannot be left without consequences, whether it
be a sexually transmitted disease or pregnancy.  It outrages me
that our society has gotten to the point that we could think
about going to the local pharmacy to buy a murder weapon, use it
to kill and go on like nothing ever happened.  The more lenient
we are on this matter, the worse our society will get.  Bring some
morals back to this country and take a stand against this new 
proposal to make the "morning after pill" an over-the-counter
medication.

# Model Without Feedback

# Integrating with the default view, parameters and initial conditions 
# will produce Fig. 6A (x2 vs. time).  The other variables displayed in Figs.
# 6 and 7 in the paper can be displayed by changing the graphical view (no need to
# reintegrate).  Likewise to make the curve labeled "without feedback" in Fig. 11.
#
# Fig. 10 requires a separate integration of the equations for each value of 
# Insulin (insstep).
#
# Fig. 12 illustrates the effect of increasing phosphatase activity by
# raising the parameter PTP to 1.5.  Insulin concentration (insstep)
# must also be adjusted as indicated in the figure.

STS-97
Report # 17 
 Friday, Dec. 8, -- 6 p.m. CST 
 
 They'd been next-door neighbors since last Saturday, but they didn't get
to meet face-to-face in space until Friday morning.

The crews of the International Space Station and Space Shuttle Endeavour
opened the last hatch separating them at 8:36 a.m. Space station commander
Bill Shepherd and cosmonauts Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei  Krikalev greeted
the Endeavour astronauts, Commander Brent Jett, Pilot Mike Bloomfield and
Mission Specialists Marc Garneau, Carlos Noriega and Joe Tanner, with
handshakes.

The two crews had remained separated because the pressure aboard Endeavour
had been reduced to help prepare Tanner and Noriega for their spacewalks.

The solar arrays they helped get ready for deployment and later repaired
are functioning well.  Systems aboard the space station are working well
and Endeavour is performing almost perfectly.

&quot;It has been a great mission,&quot; lead shuttle flight director Bill
Reeves said at a Friday briefing. All objectives already have been
accomplished, he said, except for the fly around of the space station by
Endeavour after the Saturday undocking.

The eight crewmembers worked together to transfer equipment and supplies
between the two spacecraft, and take refuse from the station aboard
Endeavour for return to Earth.  They did structural tests of the station
and its solar arrays. They also finished setting up and checking out a TV
system. Tanner and Noriega installed a cable for that system Thursday
during their third spacewalk. The system will help a shuttle crew attach
the U.S. laboratory Destiny to the station during a January mission.

Both crews held a news conference beginning at 3:57 p.m. Friday. They
spoke live with reporters at Johnson Space Center in Houston, at Kennedy
Space Center in Florida and at Canadian Space Agency headquarters near
Montreal. Immediately afterwards they talked with the Discovery Channel. 

The space station crew was scheduled to go to bed about 6 p.m. and wake up
at 2:36 a.m. on Saturday.  The shuttle crew will begin its sleep period
about 10 p.m. and be awakened at 6:06 a.m. Saturday.  Endeavour is
scheduled to undock from the space station at 1:13 p.m. Saturday and,
after the flyaround of the ISS, begin final separation at 2:17 p.m. 

The next STS-97 status report will be issued Saturday morning.
