collected to hear the address, and participate in the exercises. The address was delivered by Mr. Reese, the grand-master, or principal masonic officer in the place. It was appropriate to the occasion, except, as I thought, that it was rather overstrained in pathos. The orator, at the close of his discourse, consigned us all to the grave, or to perpetual exile. He was responded to in suitable and eloquent terms, on behalf of the Santa Fe traders and the emigrants to Oregon and California, by Col. Waul and Col. Russell. After the addresses, an original hymn, written for the occasion, as I understood, was sung with much feeling by the whole audience, to the tune of " Old Rosin the Bow." These farewell ceremonies were concluded by an affecting prayer and benediction. The ladies of the auditory, I thought, were the most interested in and excited by these proceedings. Some of them wept, and manifested strong emotions.
It rained heavily and incessantly the whole day on the 3d, and the unpaved streets of the town were so muddy and so much inundated with water, that walking about was quite out of the question. We therefore confined ourselves to our room in the hotel, where we had scores of visiters; who, finding it impossible to do any thing else, lounged and talked over the various rumors connected with the several expeditions.
One of these rumors was, that five thousand Mormons were crossing, or had crossed, the Kansas river; that they marched with ten brass fieldpieces, and that every man of the party was armed with a rifle, a bowie-knife, and a brace of large revolving pistols. It was declared that they were inveterately hostile to the emigrant parties ; and when the latter came up to the Mormons, they intended to attack and murder them, and appropriate to themselves their property. Another rumor was, that the Kansas Indians had collected in large numbers on the trail, for the purpose of robbery and murder. A third was, that a party of five Englishmen, supposed to be emissaries of their government, had started in advance of us, bound for Oregon; and that their object was to stir up the Indian tribes along the route, and incite them to deeds of hostility
Proton aurora in the cusp during southward IMF

H.U. Frey, S.B. Mende, S.A. Fuselier, T. J. Immel, N. Ostgaard


One of the most distinct aurorae in the high latitude dayside region occurs 
at the footprint of the cusp.  The Spectrographic Imager SI-12 channel on 
the IMAGE spacecraft allows for long duration observations of the proton 
aurora in this region and thus enables morphological and quantitative 
studies of the behavior of the proton aurora under different external solar 
wind conditions.  Here we extend an earlier study of the proton aurora in 
the cusp during northward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions 
[Frey et al., 2002] to southward IMF conditions.  We find a very similar 
dependence of the cusp aurora's location in magnetic local time (MLT) on the 
IMF B_y component, with locations at pre-noon for negative B_y and post-noon 
for positive B_y.  We also confirm the previously established dependence of 
the proton aurora brightness on the solar wind dynamic pressure.  However, 
the proton aurora is brighter for the southward IMF case than for the
northward IMF case.  The other major difference between southward and 
northward IMF conditions is the very strong dependence of the latitude 
location on the magnitude of the IMF B_z for southward IMF.  We discuss both 
differences in terms of the location of the reconnection site at the 
magnetopause that is connected to the ionosphere along cusp magnetic field 
lines.

all that was manfully endearing was expressed in this brother of mine.
So we grew to manhood there in that West Highland country, and surely our lives were pure and simple and sweet. I had never been further from home than the little market town where we sold our sheep. Mother managed the estate till Garry was old enough, when he took hold with a vigour and grasp that delighted every one. I think our little Mother stood rather in awe of my keen, capable, energetic brother. There was in her a certain dreamy, wistful idealism that made her beautiful in my eyes, and to look on she was as fair as any picture. Specially do I remember the delicate colouring of her face and her eyes, blue like deep corn-flowers. She was not overstrong, and took much comfort from religion. Her lips, which were fine and sensitive, had a particularly sweet expression, and I wish to record of her that never once did I see her cross, always sweet, gentle, smiling.
Thus our home was an ideal one; Garry, tall, fair and winsome; myself, dark, dreamy, reticent; and between us, linking all three in a perfect bond of love and sympathy, our gentle, delicate Mother.

Van Twiller continued to reside for some time at New-Amsterdam after he had retired from the office of director general. The following document, showing a transaction to which he was a party, is taken from the first volume of the Colonial Records, pp. 34, which commence with the administration of Gov. Kieft :
" This day appeared before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, Secretary in behalf of the privileged West India Company, here in New-Netherlands, the Honourable, Wise and Prudent de Heer* William Kieft, from one side, Director General of New-Netherlands, and the Honourable, Wise and Prudent de Heer Wouter Van Twiller, ci-devant Director General, from the other side, who amicably agreed about the rent of the farm (bouwery) No. 1, belonging to the Directors of the privileged West India Company, Department of Amsterdam, viz. that the noble Director Kieft has rented to de Heer Wouter van Twiller, who too acknowledges to have rented said farm, and well for three successive years, to begin May 1st, 1638, and to end May 1st, 1641, and this for the sum of two hundred and fifty caroli guilder^ annually; besides this a fair sixth part of all the produce with which God shall bless the field, either growing on the spot, or gathered in shocks, as then may be agreed to receive by the present Director ; with the stipulation that said Honourable van Twiller shall be obliged at the expiration of the said three years to sow again said farm, and to keep said lands in good order, for all which said contracting parties submit their persons and property, real and personal, present and future, without exception, to the supreme court of the Province of Holland, besides any other courts of justice, all in good faith without any fraud or malice.

GRB 980703 Very Long Baseline Interferometry Observations

G. B. Taylor, D. A. Frail, A. J. Beasley (NRAO) and S. R. Kulkarni
(CIT) report:

Using the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) we have detected the radio
source identified as the afterglow from GRB 980703 (GCN #128).  During a
5 hour VLBA run on 1998 Aug 2 the radio source was found to have a
flux density of 580 +/- 60 microJy at 8.4 GHz.  The source is
unresolved by these observations with a size less then 0.3 mas (size <
2 pc given the redshift of 0.9660 reported by Djorgovski et al. in GCN
#139).  The position of GRB 980703 is R.A.=23h59m06.6661s,
Dec.=+08d35'07.09390" (equinox J2000) with an uncertainty of
approximately +/-0.0005" in each coordinate.  This measurement is
consistent with that given by Frail et al. (GCN #141) with errors of
+/- 0.05".

Given the accuracy of the VLBA position for the afterglow (0.5 mas = 4
pc), it would be of interest to register the afterglow on subarcsecond
resolution observations of the host galaxy.  Accurate absolute
astrometry at other wavebands are encouraged.

being more for style than speed-were over, and just as the crowd were about to return to the city, a purse of $250 was made up, to be given to the horse that could first reach Wyandotte, four miles distant. The arrangement was carried out, and Brigham was entered as one of the contestants for the purse. Everybody laughed at Mr. Bonham when it became known that he was to ride that poky-looking plug against the five thoroughbreds which were to take part in the race.
When all the preliminaries had been arranged, the signal was given, and off went the horses for Wyandotte. For the first half-mile several of the horses led Brigham, but on the second mile he began passing them one after the other, and on the third mile he was in advance of them all, and was showing them all the road at a lively rate. On the fourth mile his rider let him out, and arrived at the hotel-the om-s e-station-in Wyandotte a long way ahead of his fastest impetitor.
Everybody was surprised, as well as disgusted, that such a homely ." critter" should be the winner.  Brigham, of course, had already acquired a wide reputation, and his name and exploits had often appeared in the newspapers, and when it was learned that this "critter" was none other ;than the identical buffalo-hunting Brigham,. nearly the whole crowd admitted that they had heard of him before, and had they known him in the first place they certainly would have ruled him out.
; I- finally lost track of Brigham, and for several years I did not know what had become of him. Three years ago, while I was at Memphis, Tennessee, I met a Mr. Wilcox, who had :b een one of the superintendents of construction of the Kansa PacificRailroad, and he informed me that he owned aBrigham, an that he was at that time on his farm, only a few miles out of town. The next day I rode out with Mr. Wilcox and took a look at the gallant old horse. He was comfortably cared for in Mr. Wilcox's stable, and looked the

Subject: phenylpropanolamine

Dear Sir,

I have been taking the Dayhist-D which contains phenylpropanolamine, this was one of a very few medications that will releave my allergys here in East Texas. I had been taking a perscription drug Allerga-D which worked fine but the cost is outragous like most perscription medicine. I would like to strongly protest at the FDA s action on the medicine which has phenylpropanolamine in it. I feel like its just another way for the Drug Companys to make more money cause if something works that doesnt require a perscription they cant make as much money on it and you do nothing except help them.

I have tried the decongestant medicines that contain pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, they do not work for me. I want you to tell me what works like phenylpropanolamine.

SEPARATE STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER KATHLEEN ABERNATHY

Re: Establishment of Rules Governing Procedures to be Followed when Informal Complaints
are Filed by Consumers Against Entities Regulated by the Commission, CI Docket No. 
02-XX, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (adopted February 14, 2002). 

Todays Notice has not incited a lobbying frenzy or drawn a brilliant press spotlight. Yet its 
subject  customer service  is of critical importance to the FCC and my work as a 
Commissioner. The Commission relies upon the informal complaint process to ensure maximum 
compliance with the Communications Act of 1934 as well as its own rules and orders.

The complaint process has grown in significance since passage of the Telecommunications Act 
of 1996. The Act, along with technological convergence, has created greater selection in pricing, 
products, and services, but also more areas for consumer confusion and concern. Since 
enactment, the FCC has received tens of thousands of complaints from consumers alleging 
violations of the Act and our rules and orders. 

It is past time for us to amend the complaint process. Just as effective competition demands 
consumers to be educated and discriminating, competition likewise calls on the Commission to 
be more responsive to consumer complaints. The presence of competition opens up more 
possibilities for fraud and abuse. In order to enjoy the benefits of competition, we have a 
responsibility to check that behavior.

Specifically, I support the guiding principles behind this Notice. Clarity and predictability in the 
complaint process are critical. We want to send a message to consumers that their voices will be 
heard; we want to tell businesses that infractions of Commission rules will not be tolerated. One 
step in that direction is creating, to the greatest extent possible, a consistent procedure for the 
handling of all complaints.

I also endorse the Notices emphasis on cooperative resolution. We should encourage companies, 
on their own accord, to respond promptly and effectively to consumer concerns. Not all 
complaints require government intervention to be resolved.

But for those complaints that do require the attention of the FCC, we must provide a prompt and 
sure resolution. I thank the Consumer Information Bureau for its hard work in this effort. The 
Commission is a service-based organization, and it is important that we provide our customers, 
taxpayers, with the quality customer service that they deserve. I look forward to working with 
the Bureau, the other Commissioners, and the Chairman as we develop a full record and 
promulgate revised rules to facilitate this essential Commission function.

915 PM PDT WED APR 16 2003

.SYNOPSIS...A WEAK UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL BRING SCATTERED SHOWERS TO
THE AREA TONIGHT. ANOTHER STRONGER UPPER LEVEL TROUGH APPROACHING THE
AREA WILL INCREASE THE SHOWER ACTIVITY THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT.
A TEMPORARY RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL GIVE DRY WEATHER TO THE AREA
DURING THE DAY FRIDAY. A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL SPREAD RAIN INTO THE
REGION LATE FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.

.DISCUSSION...SCATTERED SHOWERS ARE DECREASING IN INTENSITY OVER THE
AREA THIS EVENING. HAD A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE CASCADES
AND FOOTHILLS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SCATTERED SHOWERS TONIGHT LOOKS
FINE EVEN WITH THE AIR MASS STABILIZING SOME OVERNIGHT.

BACK EDGE OF NEXT APPROACHING UPPER TROUGH HAS REACHED 133W AND IS
HANDLED WELL BY THE 00Z GFS AND MESOETA. 700MB OMEGA STARTS
INCREASING ON THE COAST BY LATE MORNING THURSDAY...AND IN THE
AFTERNOON OVER THE INTERIOR. 00Z MESOETA SOUNDINGS INDICATE THAT THE
AIR MASS WILL BE JUST AS UNSTABLE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON. LI'S AND CAPE ARE THE SAME. A FEW ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
AGAIN THURSDAY AFTERNOON ARE PROBABLY A GOOD BET. 

WEAK CONVERGENCE IS UNDERWAY OVER PUGET SOUND...BUT HAVEN'T DETECTED
ANY INCREASE OR FOCUS IN THE SHOWER ACTIVITY YET. GRADIENT THROUGH
THE STRAIT HAS GONE FLAT AND GFS INDICATES IT WILL GO NEGATIVE
BRIEFLY AS THE UPPER/SURFACE TROUGH APPROACHES LATE TONIGHT/THURSDAY.
AM NOT SURE THE SURFACE WINDS THROUGH THE STRAIT WILL GO EASTERLY...
BUT WILL PROBABLY GO VARIABLE FOR A WHILE EARLY THURSDAY. MESOETA
SHOWS THE 925 MB WINDS STAY WEST THE ENTIRE TIME. WESTERLIES THROUGH
THE STRAIT STRENGTHEN THURSDAY NIGHT BEHIND THE UPPER TROUGH AND
SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IS A DECENT BET...SO THERE IS SOME SUPPORT FOR A
CONVERGENCE ZONE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

LATEST GFS HAS BACKED OFF A LITTLE ON THE NEXT SYSTEM DUE LATE
FRIDAY. IF THE LATEST RUN IS CORRECT...WE COULD PROBABLY TAKE OUT
PRECIP OVER THE INTERIOR FROM THE FRIDAY PERIOD AND CUT FRIDAY NIGHT
BACK TO CHANCE POPS. ONCE FRONT SLIDES OVER WESTERN WASHINGTON
SATURDAY ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH DEEPENS DOWN THE COAST...WHICH BACKS
THE WINDS ALOFT AND HOLDS THE DECAYING FRONT OVER THE AREA THROUGH
THE WEEKEND. LOOKS KIND OF DRIPPY. KAM

Dear Sir,
  In response to the enclosed article from USA Today, I believe that companies should be held
to the EXACT meaning of their words.  For example:
  Made in U.S.A. MEANS that all materials and parts are made in, and assembled in the United
  States.
  Anything else should have to read - Assembled in
  U.S.A. from imported materials (or parts).  OR
  Assembled in East.  Jabip from American parts,
  OR Made in Japan from American steel,
  OR exactly whatever is necessary to give the consumer the clarity we deserve.  And we do
  deserve that clarity.
  We have the right. to support - or not to support any country's economy for personal
reasons.  The only way for citizen-consumers to do this is by having direct and easy access to
information which is now being withheld.  If companies want the marketing tool of being able to
say "Made in the U.S.A.", let them earn it by supporting the manufacturing base.
  Thanks for hearing me!
                           Yours truly,
                          Leslie Eberman
RESOURCE LIMITATION IN RIVERINE BACTERIOPLANKTON: INTERACTIONS OF TEMPERATURE
AND DISCHARGE
Richard W. Koch1 and Paul A. Bukaveckas2.  1North Central Research Station, USDA
Forest Service, Grand Rapids, MN  55744, 2Department of Biology, University of
Louisville, Louisville, KY  45292.
The flux of nutrients and organic matter from riverine systems is largely
influenced by production and respiration of heterotrophic bacteria, yet the
factors regulating riverine bacteria are poorly understood.  We used dilution
bioassays to assess the interactions of temperature, carbon and nutrient
availability on bacterial growth and respiration across a range of hydrological
conditions in the Ohio River and two tributary reservoirs, Kentucky Lake and
Lake Barkley.  Bacterial growth rates under ambient field conditions ranged from
0.02 to 1.1 d-1 and were 5 to 90% of maximal rates found in resource amended
treatments.  Temperature was the main factor limiting bacterial growth when
water temperatures were below 20oC.  At temperatures >20oC, inorganic nutrients
were especially important in the low nutrient environment of the reservoirs,
while carbon most frequently limited bacterial growth in the Ohio River.
Respiratory rates were generally higher in the Ohio River (mean 350 g O2 L-1 d-
1) than in the reservoirs (150 g O2 L-1 d-1), suggesting use of lower quality
organic matter by riverine bacteria.  Bacterial respiration responded mainly to
glucose additions, but N and P were intermittently important co-variables.
Respiration rates were directly correlated with temperature, which caused
bacterial growth efficiencies to decrease with rising temperatures.  Our
findings indicate that multiple factors regulate phytoplankton and
bacterioplankton and that spatial complexity may arise from differences in
discharge.

Dear Mr. Foster:

I strongly feel that all alcoholic beverage producers should be permitted to put serving facts on their products, just like exist for virtually every other type of product humans ingest.

So many Americans are concerned about calorie and carb intake now, it just makes sense to allow these facts to be displayed on the packaging.

Additionally, as a supporter of liberty, I feel it is an infringement of rights to prohibit any product manufacturer from putting anything truthful on the packaging of his or her product.

Also, it would not hurt to include how many ounces of an alcoholic beverage it takes to classify one as legally drunk.

Sincerely,

ABSTRACT
     The objective of this study was to evaluate the operational
characteristics of the Perkin-Elmer Model STS 25 Sequential Tube
Sampler and IITRI/IIT (IIT Research Institute/Illinois Institute of
Technology) Total Isolated-by-Microenvironment Exposure (TIME)
monitor.  Both units use multisorbent carbon-based sampling tubes
to collect volatile organic compounds (VOC's) in ambient air and an
analytical procedure that does not require cryogens for analysis. 
A Perkin Elmer Auto Thermal Desorption System (Model 4ATD 400) was
used to process the collection tubes for analyses of the target
species (VOC's listed in the EPA TO-14 method).  The Model STS 25
is designed to sample air with up to 24 tubes, one at a time for a
preset period of time.  The TIME monitor is designed to measure
total exposure to volatile organics and apportion the exposure into
its microenvironmental components indoor (workplace/residential),
outdoor or in-transit.  The TIME unit uses ultrasound reflection to
identify a subject's location.  Very good precision for collection
and analysis of these volatile organic compounds was achieved. 
Details of the study are presented along with recommendations for
further evaluation and developmental efforts for these samplers and
the sorbent/analytical methodology.

QUESTION:
Do the rocks on Mars contain calcium carbonate or gypsum?

ANSWER from Jack Farmer on May 13, 1999:
Elemental analyses were acquired for soils at both of the Viking lander sites
and more recently, for rocks and soils at the Pathfinder landing site.
Unfortunately, with only elemental abundance data to go on, it is hard to say
how those elements are arranged into minerals. However, the presence of
duracrust-like soils at all three landing sites, as well as enrichment in
sulfur suggests that sulfates, such as gypsum may be present. The evidence for
carbonates is less compelling, although we do know from studies of some
martian meteorites (e.g. the so-called Alan Hills (ALH 84001) meteorite
discovered in Antarctica) that carbonates are also occur as fracture-fills in
some rocks. - Jack Farmer

Presented at Cardozo High School
   Washington, DC
   February 25,1988

It was only one day since I had presented a lecture on AIDS primarily to a Afro-American
audience in Roxbury, Massachusetts and I was particularly aware of the opportunity I had at
Cardozo after having been through the grizzly statistics about the disproportionate spread of
AIDS in Afro-Americans.

There were 3000 Black youngsters in a huge auditorium at Cardozo, tilling the seats, sitting on
the floor between the aisles, and standing around the room. This is, to my way of thinking, as
tough an audience as you can speak to on a subject such as this. I have to say immodestly that
according to the remarks students made to press and things that appeared in the school
newspaper, the students accepted me as someone very interested in their future and even called
me a "Cool Dude".

The audience was illuminated, but because of the high intensity of the spotlights trained on me as
the speaker, it was impossible for me to see the audience beyond the first row. As with all my
lectures, I have a long time for questions and answers afterward, and one of the questions I
received here was probably one of the things that set me in a position of acceptance with these
teenagers. Somebody asked the question: "Could I get AIDS sitting right here in this
auditorium?" My answer was: "Not unless you're managing in some way to be having sex with
the boy next to you or you're sharing needles and syringes with someone near you who is
shooting up heroin." I had the feeling that both of those activities might possibly be going on,
but the Q& A served to establish me as a "Cool Dude".

My remarks were really a summary of the things I'd said to an Afro-American audience in
Roxbury the night before and my general presentation to youngsters of this age is to be a little
flip in the presentation and even more so in the questions and answers.

Because of the similarity of these remarks to those I had made the previous evening, and the
description that appears on the front sheet of that lecture, I will not repeat that material here, nor
will there be no index.

274    BEFORE AND DURING  THE BOMBARDMENT.
" The cold is not so intense as yesterday. The papers
this morning speak of the awful sufferings of the troops.
Many have frozen to death. I take it, that all military
movements are at an end for the present. The papers
say that bad fortune pursues the French everywhere.
We are now getting long accounts from the German pa-
pers of the fighting on the Loire, and fearful work it must
have been ; and yet the Prussians go everywhere, but
they purchase their successes at a dear price.
" There is now high talk in the clubs. This last ter-
rible defeat has produced intense feeling. Trochu is de-
nounced as a traitor and an imbecile. They say he is
staying out at one of the forts, and doesn't care about
coming back into the city. He cannot fail more than
once more without going to the wall. Never in the his-
tory of the world has any army of half a million men cut
such an ignoble figure. It should not be said that the
soldiers are not brave, for they are. It is the want of a
leader that has paralyzed France for fourteen mortal
weeks. I hope my despatch bag may get out to-morrow
morning, and that I may get something in return ; but
I am so often disappointed that I do not make any great
calculations for the future.
" Evening (I add to my diary). This has been a very
cold day, and the sufferings of the troops must have been
intense. I did not leave the legation until six o'clock
p.m., having been busy in getting my despatches and let-
ters ready for the bag which leaves in the morning. A
great many people of all nations calling ; a greater num-
ber of poor Germans than ever. The total number I
have been feeding up to to-night is fifteen hundred and
forty-seven, and more are coming. It is now a question
of fuel as well as food. Wood riots have commenced.

Manam Volcano
Papua New Guinea

This three-dimensional perspective view of the volcanic island of 
Manam, Papua New Guinea was obtained by a NASA imaging radar 
system onboard a DC-8 aircraft in November 1996.  The volcano, 
one of  the most active in the Pacific "Ring of Fire," was in the 
midst of its largest eruption since 1992 when this image was 
acquired.  The island, approximately 10 kilometers (6 miles) 
across and 1800 meters (5900 feet) high, is actually the top of a 
much larger volcano that rests on the sea floor.  Lava flows and 
hot clouds of rock, ash and gas known as pyrocalstic flows are 
emitted from craters at the summit of the volcano and race down 
the valleys.  Two of  the valleys are visible as dark patches 
near the summit.  Deposits from earlier flows appear orange and 
blue; forested slopes of the volcano appear pink.  Two weeks 
after this image was acquired, the eruption intensified, killing 
several people and forcing the evacuation of thousands of others.  
The topographic information in this image was obtained using the 
technique of radar interferometry, in which the reflected radar 
signals are recorded simultaneously by two antennas mounted on 
separate areas of the aircraft.   This image was acquired by 
NASA's Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar operated in its 
topographic TOPSAR mode on November 16, 1996.  The image is 
centered at 4.1 degrees South latitude and 145.06 degrees East 
longitude; the image shows the eastern side of the volcano.  No 
vertical exaggeration has been applied. The colors are assigned 
to different radar frequencies and polarizations of 
the radar as follows:  red is P-band (68 cm), horizontally 
transmitted and vertically received; green is P-band, vertically 
transmitted  and received; and blue is C-band
(6 cm), vertically transmitted and received.

Dear NWChem Users,

I have got couple of questions regarding pspw/band modules. First of all, does
anybody maintain this piece of code? There was couple of posts send recently
(including my mail) concerning problems with band calculations, but there was 
no answer. I am a little bit confused about this situation.

The second question is a question send by me some time ago, which can be 
found in mailing list archives under this link: 

http://www.emsl.pnl.gov/docs/nwchem/nwchem-support/2005/11/0015._NWCHEM_problem_with_surface_keyword

The third question:
I am using aperiodic boundary conditions in band calculations. My system, 
6 silicon supercells placed on each other along z-axis, in input is given in 
cartesian coordinates. I also enter the correct values for width and high of
molecule with lattice vectors within "system crystal" block.
When BAND module starts, the "initial position of ions" are printed. What does
those positions stand for? Are they the actual coordinates of atoms, which 
should correspond to those from the input file, or it is some sort of grid on 
which calculations will be performed? I am wondering about this, because in my
case, those positions are completely different from atom coordinates taken from
my input. The similar situation is in band gradient calculations. Ion positions
printed in this case differs from those in input. I thought that it may be
because of specifying aperiodic boundary conditions, but simple test with
silicon unit cell in periodic boundaries revealed the same problem. I am using
NWChem 4.6.

The fourth question:
What are the references for PSPW and BAND modules?

Regards,
Kuba Kaminski
and
Robert Gora
