them who have vifited the reft of Europe. Thefe tra- book
vellers bring back, or feign to bring back, into their, n ' .
country, the prejudice of their own fuperiority, and
enrich it only with the vices which they have acquired
in the divers regions where chance hath conduded
them. Accordingly, a foreign obferver, who had gone
over the greateft part of the empire, ufed to fay, that
tbe Ruffian was rotten before he had been ripe.
We might extend ourfelves more upon the difficul-
ties which nature and cuftoms obftinately oppofe to
the civilization of Ruffia. Let us examine the means
which have been contrived to fucceed in it.
Catherine hath undoubtedly been very well convin-
ced, that liberty was the only fource of public happi-
nefs: and yet, hath fhe really abdicated defpotic au-
thority ? In reading attentively her inftrudions to the
deputies of the empire, apparently intrufted with the
formation of the laws, is any thing more found in
them than the defire of altering denominations, and of
being called monarch, inftead of autocratrix ? of call-
ing her people fubjeds, inftead of flaves? Will the
Ruffians, blind as they are, take the name, inftead of
the thing, for any length of time ? and will their cha-
racter be elevated, by this farce, to that great degree
of energy with which it was propofed to infpire them ?
A fovereign, however great his genius may be, fel-
dom makes alterations of any confquence by himfelf,
and ftill more unfrequently gives them any degree of
liability. He Hands in need of affiftance, and Ruffia
can offer no other than that of fighting. Its foldiers
are hardy, fober, indefatigable. Slavery, which hath
infpired them with a contempt of life, hath united with
fuperftition, which hath infpired them with contempt
of death. They are perfuaded, that, whatever crimes
they may have committed, their foul will afcend to
heaven from the field of battle. But military men, if
they defend the provinces, do not civilize them. In
vain do we feek for flatefmen about the perfon of Ca-
iherine. What flie hath done of herfelf may be aflo-

The Relative Importance of Factors Influencing Selenium Toxicity

Joy A. Gober

Abstract

	Selenium is the constituent most frequently identified as 
potentially impacting fish and wildlife species on irrigated lands in the 
States by the Department of Interior's National Irrigation Water Quality 
Program. Concentration of selenium is usually the first factor assessed. 
However, other factors should also be considered including the chemical form 
of selenium present, antagonism or synergism with other chemical constituents, 
substrate cation-exchange capacity, species sensitivity, exposure, dietary 
habits, behavior, age, vigor, water velocity, and temperature. In order to 
more effectively remediate for adverse impacts to fish and wildlife from 
selenium, accurate cause and effect relationships must be identified. A 
decision methodology that addresses the potential factors previously listed 
and guides the user toward the most appropriate focus is recommended. This 
approach might prove useful for potential future remediation sites and help 
ensure the most effective use of time, effort, and money.

OFFICE OF WATER QUALITY TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 87.02 

Subject: WATER OUALITY--Spurious Carbon Isotope Data

The attached memorandum from Warren Wood of the National 

Research Program calls attention to the possible 

contamination effects of various grouts and well-sealing 

cements.  All who interpret water-quality data should be

aware of these possible effects on liquid and gas phases.

Subject: Next "event"

The next putative plume event does not appear possible until
early-to-middle next week (week of March 1), when 2 storm systems
develop in the southern U.S. The first storm is currently forecast to
develop to our SE and affect the east coast of the U.S. more than us,
while the second may more directly threaten us. Way too early to say
much about either one at this point, but I'll keep watching and try to
keep you informed.

WATER LEVEL DRAWDOWN: IMPACTS ON SEDIMENT CHARACTERISTICS AND POREWATER NITROGEN 
IN MISSISSIPPI RIVER POOL 8.

Pool 8 of the Mississippi River was drawn down in July of 2001 to stimulate 
aquatic plant growth and compact sediments.  Sediment and sediment porewater 
characteristics (i.e. sediment moisture content, bulk density, ammonia, and 
ammonium) may be affected by water level fluctuation and duration of dry 
periods.  We examined these variables at 25 backwater sites before, during, and 
after the water level drawdown to observe changes resulting from desiccation and 
re-wetting of sediments.  Sediment moisture content, bulk density, ammonium, 
exchangeable ammonium, and ammonia did not vary among the sites prior to the 
drawdown (p>0.1).  Some of the sites dried during the drawdown, resulting in 
lower sediment moisture content and greater sediment bulk density.  There was 
also a decrease in ammonium, exchangeable ammonium, and ammonia in sediment 
porewater at the dry sites.  This could be due to a decrease in mineralization 
of organic nitrogen and assimilation, while nitrification rates remain constant.  
When sites were re-wetted, these variables again do not vary among sites 
(p>0.05), and appear to be returning to pre-drawdown conditions.  These results 
suggest that desiccation of sediments has an immediate impact on sediment and 
porewater nitrogen, with rapid return to pre-dried conditions.

Cover Dataset 1992: Wildlife Society Bulletin, v. 32, no. 3, p. 970-978.

Abstract

Digital land-cover data are among the most popular data sources used in
ecological research and natural resource management. However, processes for
accurate land-cover classification over large regions are still evolving. We
identified inconsistencies in the National Land Cover Dataset 1992, the most
current and available representation of land cover for the conterminous United
States. We also report means to address these inconsistencies in a bird-habitat
model. We used a Geographic Information System (GIS) to position a regular
grid (or lattice) over the upper midwestern United States and summarized the
proportion of individual land covers in each cell within the lattice. These
proportions were then mapped back onto the lattice, and the resultant lattice
was compared to satellite paths, state borders, and regional map classification
units. We observed mapping inconsistencies at the borders between mapping
regions, states, and Thematic Mapper (TM) mapping paths in the upper
midwestern United States, particularly related to grass I and-herbaceous,
emergent-herbaceous wetland, and small-grain land covers. We attributed
these discrepancies to differences in image dates between mapping regions,
suboptimal image dates for distinguishing certain land-cover types, lack of
suitable ancillary data for improving discrimination for rare land covers, and
possibly differences among image interpreters. To overcome these
inconsistencies for the purpose of modeling regional populations of birds, we
combined grassland-herbaceous and pasture-hay land-cover classes and
excluded the use of emergent-herbaceous and small-grain land covers. We
recommend that users of digital land-cover data conduct similar assessments
for other regions before using these data for habitat evaluation. Further,
caution is advised in using these data in the analysis of regional land-cover
change because it is not likely that future digital land-cover maps will repeat
the same problems, thus resulting in biased estimates of change.

The behavior that the standard specifies for handle conversion, as was
explained by Dick Treumann, is garbage in, same garbage out. A
justification for this specification was that, in the case where handles
are really one and the same in both languages, then there would be no code
in the conversion process. I also think this is the "semantically correct"
behavior: the move from one language to another is transparent. Consider,
for example, a library written in C, that checks carefully its inputs and
generates elaborate error codes and reports. With the current
specification, a Fortran interface to the same library does not need to
have additional exception handling capabilities: no matter what garbage is
passed in, the input will be received and handled correctly inside the C
library.

Dear Dr. Warren:

Your recent praposals for a monolithic answer to the crushin.q problems of
scicntfflc coamnieation are of great interest, and *specially 112 that they
seem to have moved one notch farther than previous efforts.

. .

Whn I first started working, on Weinberg's panel, 1 found I was perhaps the
mast zealous firebrand on ft for a similar approach (see enclosure).  Since
then I have had some second thoughts, especially since Conqraaa started
taking such a critical view of science and TK)TC so in Light of %IH's reactions
to this.  Frankly, I am afraid to leave the essential cnmarunication claannela
where thay might be exposed to the pettier side of politlcr and ?mreaucrscy.
Th0 question who will COntl3L sCCess to and use of the information Syl#t@iTl
csanot be set aside as a triviality in the face or' currant experience.

Unfortunately the 6ciantific sacietles are not taking the necessary initiative,
and when they do they tend to delegate these responsihLlitiea to arl. equally
stuffy bureaucracy, like the AC5 publications and BLoXog%cnl Abstracts, but
this system at least has the vLrtue that Local nistglkea do not become the
fiaal CmES.

`)

Probably the cirtical probl@n is too fmportant to be left in this nntddle, and
w11 should have a central repository.  But this must be caupled with mtxim
encouragement of peripheral discretion, eepeciallv frotl the societies [contra
the private fournals), in the s0lcccfo,n of trta very mall part of the whole

torrent that should be broadcast rather than atored for easy retrieval on
request.

On the technLca1 side, I hope vsry moth t&sat you night look closely at
Citation Indexing, which has =ch subtle power beyond the c~bvlaus, and might
well ba the central theme of a comprehensive retrieval system.  To this end
I could do little better than Introduce Dr. Garfield to you; `I am sure you
would fFud his anafysls a very cogent one and I know he is most interested
to d&scurs infotmatfon retrieval with you.  I am suEgeot%ng he write you
in a few days to ask if it woutd be convenient for you to see h%m.

Sincerely yours,

COLLECTION OPENED TO THE PUBLIC.
that I was frankly met with the most unprejudiced and
congenial feelings ; and, even more than that, with a settled
and genuine sympathy for the benighted people whom my
works were representing, and a disposition to reward my
labours by kind and unexpected invitations to the hospi-
table boards of those who fill the highest and most enviable
stations in life.
To this general feeling it affords me pleasure to respond
in general terms, in this place ; and I shall have occasion, in
other parts of this work, to return my personal thanks for
such spontaneous kindness, which my lasting gratitude will
make it my duty to allude to.
The editors of the leading literary and scientific journals
of London, and of the daily newspapers, were chiefly there,
and with their very friendly and complimentary notices of
my collection, with the usual announcements by advertise-
ments, I opened it for the inspection of the public on the
first day of February, 1840.*
Its commencement was flattering, from the numbers and
high respectability of my visitors, and I was pleased, from
day to day, to meet the faces and friendly greetings of those
whom I had seen there at the private view.
I was pleased also with the freedom which is granted to
exhibitions in London, leaving them entirely independent
of tithing or taxation, as well as of licences to be obtained
from the police, as is the case in France and some other
countries. Under such auspices I very pleasantly com-
menced, with a rent of 550Z. per annum, and continued it
with reasonable success for the space of four years. The
vicissitudes and incidents of that time it is not the object
of this work to detail; but I shall connect the links of my
narrative better, and, I trust, do no injustice to my readers,
by reciting a few of the incidents that transpired in that

to usher in a generation of strife; but for forty years the failure of English colonial policy in the Northwest, the American Revolution, the separatist plots and disorders of the Critical Period successively bore their testimony to the equilibrium disturbed in the Peace of 1763.
Not till the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 once more reunited the valley, did political quiet return in the wake of political order and economic unity, or the essential oneness of the Great Valley establish itself to decree the doom of the Southern Confederacy, under a leader born and bred amid the tributaries of the Mississippi, who in his youth had witnessed the inevitable gathering of its waters by "the Island on which New Orleans is situated."

rity with which he moved from one point of his
command to another, astonished even his enemies.
He was vain, capricious, and fond of flattery;
and those who were most forward to compliment
him for his exterior embellishments, to which he
was exceedingly attentive, were certain of being
admitted into his favour. His last wife, for he had
been twice married, is now living in Port au Prince
in retirement, and with a very small income. She
is quite neglected by the present government, to its
disgrace, as she had often been the means of staying
the bloody hand of her husband, when he was about
to sign an order for the indiscriminate execution of
the whites and mulattoes. She bears the marks of
a negress who at one time was extremely handsome,
and her exterior must have been commanding : she
is rather above the middle size of females, but not
too tall, nor yet too large in proportion. The white
inhabitants of Port au Prince, and particularly
strangers who occasionally visit it, never fail to at-
tempt to obtain a sight of her, as her name and
her character excite a great deal of interest, and
surely entitle her to the best support of the existing
government, which boastsand it is only an empty
boastof being generous to those who have rendered
the country a service.

			  TreadMarks:
	      Shared Memory Computing on Your IBM SP2

The IBM SP2 is one of the most successful "cluster machines", present at
many laboratories including NIH. The common parallel programming model 
on the SP2 and on most cluster machines is message passing, exemplified 
by packages such as PVM or MPI. Unfortunately, many scientists have found 
message passing hard to use in comparison to the shared memory model 
available on SMPs like the SGI Power Challenge.

TreadMarks is a software package that provides a shared memory programming
environment on an IBM SP2. The package is also available on other cluster 
architectures and on networks of workstations. Most common Unix platforms 
and many different networks are supported. A parallel program written for 
TreadMarks therefore enjoys a great measure of portability, spanning clusters, 
networks of workstations, and SMPs.

While the appeal of shared memory programming has been well known
for some time, early software implementations have suffered from poor 
performance. I will explain the nature of these performance problems, 
and discuss the techniques that TreadMarks uses to overcome them.

I will demonstrate the programmability and efficiency of TreadMarks 
by discussing the parallelization of FASTLINK, a popular package for
genetic linkage analysis, the computational step in disease gene location. 
Parallel FASTLINK has recently been used in several genetic linkage 
studies at NIH, including the discovery of a linkage for Parkinson's 
disease on chromosome 4.
