Evaluation of multidate Landsat Multispectral Scanner data

Laustrup, M.  1995.  Geospatial application:  Evaluation of
multidate Landsat Multispectral Scanner data for determining
changes between aquatic and terrestrial habitats on the Upper
Mississippi River System.  National Biological Service,
Environmental Management Technical Center, Onalaska, Wisconsin,
September 1995.  LTRMP 95-P009.  19 pp. + Appendixes A and B.
(NTIS #PB96-115803)

ABSTRACT

Landsat Multispectral Scanner data representing conditions in
1972, 1984, and 1992 were processed to identify open water
conditions.  The study area included the Upper Mississippi River
floodplain between Genoa, Wisconsin, and south of Dubuque, Iowa. 
Data were analyzed to identify changes which occurred over the
20-yr period and these changes have been combined to represent
gains and losses.  Gains generally equate to a loss of aquatic
plant beds and islands in the lower pools (erosion), while losses
are generally restricted to off-channel habitats and represent the
effects of sedimentation.  Between 1972 and 1992, gains totaled
6,959 hectares; losses totaled 6,321 hectares.

appearance, or at least much less so than the inferior beds; it contains specks and some veins of calcareous spar and gypsum; also crystals of quartz, &c.; it likewise offers sometimes specks of galena. It generally presents but few petrifactions, Corallites and Millepores, as well as several species of Terebratulites; Ammonites, &c. have been found in it."
"Above this compact limestone another stratum of calcareous rock is found which is known in the country under the name of rauchwacke, (smoky wacke;) it is a limestone probably intermixed with silex, of a dark-gray, sometimes blackish colour, with a somewhat scaly fracture, occasionally fine-grained, sometimes though seldom oolitic, hard, tough, and filled with pores or cavities; this last feature is characteristic; it may be observed even in those parts of the stratum which appear most compact; the cavities are angular, long, and narrow, (as in a cracked clay;) the interior of the cavities is lined with small crystals of calc-spar, these cavities are sometimes large, being several yards in length and breadth, &c."
He afterwards proceeds to describe the ashes or pulverulent substance found near it. This, from its great similarity to the residue of the combustion of wood, is designated in Germany by the name of asche, (ashes.) These characters, when taken into connection, appear to us to correspond so well with those observed on the Wasse-mon, on the Mississippi, and throughout the country between Rock river and Prairie du Chien, that we feel strongly induced to consider the limestone of this country as analogous to that observed by Mr. Freiesleben. This limestone is by some European continental geologists referred to the Lias of English geologists; but we would
Enumerator Staff

The enumerator staff collects data for the Nebraska Agricultural 
Statistics Service. USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service 
contracts with their employer, the National Association of State 
Departments of Agriculture, to employ enumerators for the collection 
of agricultural statistics.  These invaluable part-time employees 
collect data through personal interviews and telephone calls to the 
farmers, ranchers and agribusinesses of Nebraska, enabling us to 
accomplish the Agency's mission.

Presented to the National Management Conference of the

         Washington, DC

November lo,1988

It had been but one day since I had last spoken to a public audience on AIDS.

Talking to the Management of the BATF was no different than talking to our own Public Health
Service, when I last spoke on this general subject on the 20th of October1988. The audience was
different in that this one consisted of folks involved with three big industries in the United States,
alcohol, tobacco, and firearms, and what I said to them would filter down to those companies and
their respective employees. The speech I had given early on this same subject was limited to
eighteen of my pages; this one was thirty-four. Everything I said to the Public Health Service in
October I said here, but I added more to strengthen my positions and to be as complete as
possible. For that reason there is an index included, which did not accompany the lecture to the
Public Health Service employees on the occasion of Handicapped Awareness Week.

BEET  SUGAR  INDUSTRY.
On the other hand, on exportation abroad the treasury-returned the nominal excise in full. These circumstances, and the high prices for sugar which ruled at the end of the seventies, called forth heavy speculation in our sugar industry, although already in 1881 the system of levying the sugar excise was radically changed, and the excise was now collected on the weight of sugar actually refined, so that the revenue of the treasury increased to twice and thrice what it was before. But the production continued to grow without interruption, reaching in 18856 as much as 29,000,000 poods. Prices suddenly fell terribly, and the Government was compelled to take measures to relieve the home markets of the surplus sugar and in this way to keep up the prices. With this object from 1885 begins the payment of premiums on the sugar exported abroad over and above the return of the excise. The export increased considerably, but the chief object, the raising of prices in the home markets, remained unattained, because just in the second half of the eighties the crops of beet were particularly good. The Ministry of Finance warned the sugar refiners that they must themselves take steps to reduce the plantations of beet, that the payment of premiums would not be continued. But these warnings had small effect, and in 1886 prices for sugar again fell.
Then the refiners, in 1887, entered into an agreement among each other, after the example of foreign syndicates, obliging each other to export abroad a certain proportion of the yield until the prices in the home markets rise to a definite limit.    Two hundred and ten

FEMA PUBLIC NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR
ARTHUR JOHNSON PROPERTY TEMPORARY HOUSING SITE,
OPELOUSAS, SAINT LANDRY PARISH, LOUISIANA

Interested parties are hereby notified that the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has prepared an Environmental Assessment 
(EA) for a proposed mobile home site.  The site would house disaster victims displaced by major home damage caused by Hurricane 
Rita on September 24, 2005.  Presidential Disaster Declaration FEMA -1607-DR-LA was signed on September 24, 2005 for the event. 

The proposed action includes developing an approximately 15-acre site (termed Arthur Johnson Property site) for approximately 40 
mobile home units.  The site is located approximately 7000-feet west of Interstate-49 and north of the City of Opelousas at 428 
Compress Road in St. Landry Parish, Louisiana, 70570. Activities would include, where necessary, site clearing, grading, road 
construction, the placement of utilities (electricity, telephones, water, and sewer), and the transport and hook-up of manufactured 
homes to the site. Per the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4371 et seq.), and associated environmental statutes, a 
Draft EA was written to evaluate the proposed actions potential impacts on the human and natural environment.   To meet the urgent 
need of hurricane victims to find temporary housing, FEMA has conducted an expedited environmental review process to identify and 
address environmental issues. The Draft EA summarizes the purpose and need, site selection process, affected environment, and 
potential environmental consequences associated with the proposed action.

Due to the emergency nature of this action, the public comment period will be brief  December 19, 2005 through December 21, 2005. 
 Written comments on the Draft EA can be faxed to FEMAs Joint Field Office in Baton Rouge at (225) 346-5848; and verbal comments 
will be accepted at (225) 376 5137 and TTY for hearing or speech-impaired at 800-462-7585; between 8:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M. The 
Draft EA can be viewed and downloaded from FEMAs website at http://www.fema.gov/ehp/docs.shtm.  The Draft EA is also available for 
public review at the Opelousas-Eunice Public Library, 212 East Grolee Street, Opelousas, LA 70571, and the FEMA Disaster Recovery 
Center (DRC) located at the Old Kroger Store, 1638 East Cresswell Lane, Opelousas, LA  70570. The DRC hours are 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM 
Monday through Saturday. If no substantive comments are received, the Draft EA will become final and this initial Public Notice will 
also serve as the final Public Notice.

All other questions regarding disaster assistance or the availability of emergency housing should be directed to FEMAs 
Teleregistration line at 800-621-3362.

Herbert,
	Right now 5.0 has the pbe0 hybrid functional.  If you decide to
use it make sure that you first run a pbe96 calculation to generate
pseudopotentials, i.e.
nwpw
   xc pbe96
end
task pspw energy
nwpw
   xc pbe0
end
task pspw energy
  There are no meta-GGA's in the code.  If they work for your system,
meta-GGA's are considerably faster than hybrid functionals.  Not hard to
implement but I just haven't had the time.

Hi Eric,
In a message to the NWChem mailing list, you mentioned that one can use
hybrid functionals in the PSPW module of NWChem. Can you tell me which
ones are implemented in NWChem 5.0? Some colleagues might be interested,
and since they consider me the NWChem expert, they asked me to find out.
No chance of meta-gga, I guess? That's what they say they would like,
but to be honest I am not sure if they really know the difference...
Thanks in advance,
   Herbert

STATUS REPORT #2: June 1, 2000

SECOND DEORBIT BURN FOR OBSERVATORY SUCCESSFUL;
TIME CHANGE FOR LAST TWO BURNS

The second of four burns necessary for re-entry of NASA's Compton Gamma Ray 
Observatory was initiated at 10:36 p.m. EDT May 31. Compton's Attitude Control 
thrusters and Orbit Adjust thrusters were fired for 26 minutes.  The descent 
burn lowered the spacecraft's orbit's perigee from 226 miles (364 kilometers) to 
155  miles (250 kilometers). 

Controllers decided late Tuesday to adjust the primary track for re-entry on 
June 4. This alters the times of burns #3 and #4 by approximately 90 minutes. 
The new time for burn #3 is midnight EDT.  Burn #4 will commence at 1:30 a.m. 
EDT.  Impact is expected at approximately 2:20 a.m. EDT.

"The latest prediction has Compton's orbit tracks moving west.  This migration 
now makes the eastern most track the safest re-entry opportunity. This track is 
now our primary re-entry track," said Mansoor Ahmed, CGRO mission manager from 
Goddard.

Because of the change in the burn times, the newsroom in Goddard's Central 
Flight Control Building (Building 3) will open at 11:30 p.m. June 3. Live 
coverage on NASA Television will also begin at 11:30 p.m. June 3. The news 
briefing to announce conclusion of deorbit activities will still be at 6 a.m. 
June 4 in the Building 3 auditorium.

After nine years in orbit, NASA decided to deorbit CGRO via a controlled re-
entry after one of its gyroscopes failed in December.  Extensive analysis has 
shown that it is much safer to bring the satellite back now than to use any 
other method for dealing with the spacecraft.  Compton is scheduled to re-enter 
the Earth's atmosphere on June 4 in an isolated area of the Pacific Ocean, 
southeast of Hawaii.

The next status report will be issued overnight on June 4 and posted to:

               Respondent           : Knaak Sand
                      ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR RECUSAL
     On June 6, 2002, I conducted a telephone conference with James V. Knaak,
sole proprietor of Knaak Sand, and Thomas J. Pavlat, a Conference & Litigation
Representative of the Mine Safety and Health Administration.  During the
telephone conference Mr. Knaak raised jurisdictional questions.  Consistent with
this Commission's decision and the longstanding Federal appellate case law cited
in Jerry Ike Harless Towing, Inc., 16 FMSHRC 683 (April 1994), I  informed Mr.
Knaak that sand and gravel facilities generally are subject to Mine Act
jurisdiction.
     In correspondence dated August 23, 2002, Mr. Knaak, citing the June 6
telephone conference that addressed the issue of jurisdiction, stated "[i]n
fairness to me, I believe I should have a different judge, that will at least
listen to me before he finds in favor of the government."  I construe the August
23 letter as a request for recusal.
     In response to Mr. Knaak's August 23 letter, on September 11, 2002, I
initiated a telephone conference with Mr. Knaak and the Secretary's counsel
Edward Falkowski.  I again explained the case law concerning Mr. Knaak's
jurisdictional objections.  I requested  Mr. Falkowski to provide a copy of the
Commission's Harless decision for Mr. Knaak's information.  I assured Mr. Knaak
that I had not prejudged his case.  However, I also emphasized that, in deciding
this matter, I was bound by statutory law and case precedent.
     Commission Rule 55(f), 29 C.F.R.  2700.55(f), authorizes the presiding
judge to hold conferences in an effort to simplify issues.  Mr. Knaak's apparent
disappointment with regard to the case law as it relates to his jurisdictional
objections does not provide a basis for my recusal.  Accordingly, the request
for recusal IS DENIED.  Consequently, the hearing will convene as scheduled at
9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, October 16, 2002.  The hearing location will be
specified in a subsequent Order.

QUESTION:
What was your favorite book in sixth grade?

ANSWER from April Whitton October 22, 1995:
In sixth grade, our teacher's name was Mrs. Gould, and she read to us 
after lunch. One of my favorite stories was The Secret Garden. I grew up 
on a farm, and loved the idea of a special walled-in garden with roses 
everywhere and lilies with spotted throats (I thought they were day 
lilies).

When The Secret Garden movie came out recently, I took my own daughter to 
see it. It was different from the book, but we both liked it - especially 
the story from India about the prince fighting the demon!

What's your favorite?

{description}   KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Damon Petty, with United Space
                Alliance, removes an insulation blanket from a shelf prior to
                heat cleaning and waterproofing. 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.

RELEASE: H08-161

ASTRONAUT BARBARA MORGAN TO LEAVE NASA

HOUSTON -- Veteran space shuttle astronaut Barbara R. Morgan will 
leave NASA in August to become an educator at Idaho's Boise State 
University. 

NASA's first educator astronaut, Morgan logged more than 305 hours in 
space aboard shuttle Endeavour's STS-118 assembly mission to the 
International Space Station in August 2007. She operated the shuttle 
and station robotic arms to install hardware, inspect the orbiter and 
support spacewalks. Morgan also served as loadmaster for the transfer 
of supplies between the shuttle and station, taught lessons from 
space to schoolchildren on Earth and served on the flight deck during 
re-entry and landing. 

&quot;Barbara has served NASA and the Astronaut Office with 
distinction over the course of her career,&quot; Astronaut Office 
chief Steve Lindsey said. &quot;From the Teacher in Space Program to 
her current position as a fully qualified astronaut, she has set a 
superb example and been a consistent role model for both teachers and 
students. She will be missed.&quot; 

Morgan previously served as the backup to payload specialist Christa 
McAuliffe in the Teacher in Space Program. McAuliffe and six fellow 
astronauts lost their lives in the Challenger accident on Jan. 28, 
1986. Morgan, who was an elementary schoolteacher in McCall, Idaho, 
before being selected as McAuliffe's backup, returned to teaching 
after the accident. She was selected to train as a mission specialist 
in 1998 and named to the STS-118 crew in 2002. 

&quot;It is really tough to leave NASA,&quot; Morgan said. &quot;It is 
a great organization with great people doing great things. We're 
going back to the moon and on to Mars. I'm especially proud that we 
have three other teachers who are astronauts, and there will be 
others in the future. I'm very excited to go to work for Boise State 
University. I like everything about it, and it's going to be 
wonderful helping exploration by working full time for 
education.&quot; 

Three other educator mission specialists, Richard Arnold, Joseph Acaba 
and Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger, are training for future 
spaceflights. Arnold and Acaba are assigned to fly on the STS-119 
space shuttle mission to the station in 2009. 

Morgan will serve as Distinguished Educator in Residence at Boise 
State, providing vision and leadership to the state of Idaho on 
science, technology, engineering and math education. 

Highlights of Morgan's NASA career will be available on NASA 
Television's video file. For NASA TV downlink information, schedules

456                                        MEMORIALS.
MARGARET FULLER OSSOLL
BY C. P.  CRANCH.
0 still sweet summer days !    0 moonlight nights!
After so drear a storm how can ye shine ?
O smiling world of many-hued delights,
How canst thou 'round our sad hearts stiU entwine
The accustomed wreaths of pleasure ?    How, 0 Day,
Wakest thou so full of beauty ?    Twilight deep,
How diest thou so tranquilly away ?
And how, O Night, bring'st thou the sphere of sleep ?
For she is gone from us, gone, lost for ever, 
In the wild billows swaUowed up and lost, 
Gone, full of love, life, hope, and high endeavor,
Just when we would have welcomed her the most
Was it for this, O woman, true and pure !
That life through shade and light had formed thy mind
To feel, imagine, reason, and endure, 
To soar for truth, to labor for mankind ?
Was it for this sad end thou didst bear thy part
In deeds and words for struggling Italy, 
Devoting thy large mind and larger heart
That Rome in later days might yet be free ?
And, from that home driven out by tyranny,
Didst turn to see thy fatherland once more,
Bearing affection's dearest ties with thee ;
And as the vessel bore thee to our shore,
And hope rose to fulfilment,  on the deck,
When friends seemed almost beckoning unto thee :
O God ! the fearful storm,  the splitting wreck, 
The drowning billows of the dreary sea !
Notes concerning Ulysses/URAP data for the Workshop Events

Within each event directory, there is a urap subdirectory. Each of
these contains one GIF file showing 4 days of Ulysses radio
and plasma wave (URAP) data, the day of the event + the 3 following
days.  The top panels (RAR Hi and RAR Lo) show promarily radio
data - type III and occasional type II bursts.  The bottom panel
(PFR) includes the electron plasma frequency, where Langmuir
waves will be seen.  If so, they may indicate magnetic connection
from the flare site to the spacecraft (Ulysses).

In comparing any type II activity observed by URAP to that of
Wind/WAVES, remember that Ulysses is farther from the Sun and
usually at a significantly different longitude and latitude
than the earth.  The following table lists the relevant 
parameters:

- distance from the Sun to Ulysses (range in AU)
- heliographic latitude of Ulysses (degrees)
- the relative longitude of Ulysses (H_long(Ulysses)-H_long(Earth),
   if =  90 deg, then Ulysses is on the W limb as seen from Earth
   if = 180 deg, then Ulysses is behind the sun as seen from Earth

A Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms or a SNP is a variation in the DNA sequence of a genome when a single nucleotide differs between 
the members of a species or between paired chromosomes in an individual. Almost all SNPs are bi-allelic. The minor allele frequency
 varies between population groups based on their ethnicity and geographical locations. Variations in the DNA sequence in humans can 
not only affect the phenotypes like color of eye or of hair or whether the earwax will be brown and sticky wet, it can also affect
 human behavior, mental and other inherited diseases. 

It is estimated that there are approximately ten million SNPs in the human genome. These SNPS are not completely independent of 
each other  blocks (contiguous regions) of neighboring SNPs on the same chromosome are inherited together. The pattern of SNPs 
on a block of the chromosome is called a haplotype.. The cost associated with empirically collecting haplotype data is prohibitively 
expensive.1 Therefore, the un-ordered bi-allelic genotype data is collected experimentally. The genotype data gives the two alleles
 in each SNP locus in an individual, but does not give information about which allele is on which copy of the chromosome. This 
necessitates computational techniques for inferring haplotypes from genotype data. This computational problem is called as the 
haplotype inference problem. 

The perfect phylogeny haplotyping (PPH) problem is to derive a set of haplotypes for a given set of genotypes with the condition 
that the haplotypes describe a perfect phylogeny. The perfect phylogeny approach to haplotype inference is applicable to the human 
genome due to the block structure of the human genome. An optimal O(nm) time algorithm for the PPH problem, where n is the number 
of genotypes and m is the number of SNPs, has recently been published [R. Vijaya Satya and A. Mukherjee, JCB, May 2005]. 

In this talk, the problem of constructing near-perfect phylogenies on bi-allelic haplotypes will be addressed. We present an efficient 
algorithm to determine if a given set of genotypes admit a phylogeny with a single homoplasy or back mutation event. The time complexity
 of our algorithm is O(m2(n+m)) which is a significant improvement over the earlier O(n4) algorithm. We also consider a generalization 
of the problem allowing q homoplasy events to take place at the same site taking O(mq+1(n+m)) time. Empirical analysis on simulated 
data shows that this algorithm produces more accurate results than PHASE (a popular haplotype inference program), while being approximately 
1000 times faster than phase

Statement
                                 
                               of
      the Honorable Dan Glickman Secretary of Agriculture
                      on the Farm Crisis 
                        September 17, 1998
     
     "I am pleased that the majority in the House has finally recognized the
need to address the crisis our farmers and ranchers are suffering and the
driving urgency to begin the too- long neglected and overdue job of
strengthening the holes in the farm bill's safety net.

     "Since July, when the President and I endorsed the Conrad-Dorgan
amendment to begin helping farmers and ranchers hit with losses from natural
disasters, the Administration has been calling on Congress for action.  

     "Last week, I urged the Senate to pass the Daschle-Harkin proposal to
provide $1.5 billion in disaster assistance and, critically, to lift the caps
on marketing loans, providing almost $4 billion this year, so farmers can
weather this year's extraordinary drop in commodity prices.

     "Just two days ago, the President renewed his personal call on the
Congress to act, but the Senate leadership has further delayed consideration
of this crucial proposal.

     "While the House leadership's announcement of today may finally signal
that Congress  will step up the pace of its efforts so that, finally, our
farmers will see the relief that the Administration has been urging for weeks,
this package is not enough.  Congress has got to address fully the needs our
farmers and ranchers are facing and also pass the improvement to the farm bill
that the President and I have been advocating.

     "I am also pleased that the majority party in Congress has recognized
the importance of maintaining the viability of our foreign customers and am
very disappointed that the House leadership denied the full House the
opportunity today even to consider the President's IMF funding proposal    one
of the single most important and concrete action the Congress can do to
strengthen our farm exports, maintaining the phenomenal growth in exports
realized under this Administration's leadership."
