 In  a  free  society,  government  would  not  "own"  the  airwaves,  any  more 
 than  it  would  "own"  publishing  houses,  "own"  land,  or  any  other  means 
 of  production:  activities  we  rightfully  associate  with  socialist  or 
 totalitarian  societies.  Government  should  auction  off  the  broadcast 
 spectrum  and  then  leave  programming  completely  to  the  private  market. 
 In  our  current  hybrid  system  of  freedoms  and  controls,  the  next  best 
 option  is  to  minimize  government  intervention  into  the  broadcast 
 market  and  reject  all  attempts  in  the  name  of  pursuing  the  "public 
 interest"  to  mandate  programming  or  to  control  in  any  way  how  broad-casters 
 use  what  should  be  their  own  private  property.  Current  inter-ventions 
 should  be  reduced  or  eliminated;  new  proposals  should  be 
 summarily  rejected  as  inappropriate  government  meddling  into  the 
 private  sphere  of  American  citizens.  If  the  public  does  not  like 
 the  programming,  it  can  switch  to  competing  forms,  including  turning 
 the  TV  off.  The  idea  that  Americans  need  government  to  tell  them 
 how  to  run  their  businesses  or  use  their  time  is  ludicrous.  The 
 government  simply  needs  to  get  out  of  our  way.

and very little, if any animal food, formed their only necessary
stock, and on this a body of men fortifying themselves in towns,
must have made a formidable inroad.   Famine, and the success
of their former revolt, with long repeated grievance, at length
provoked other attempts to rid themselves of the burthen, and
Columbus was compelled to have recourse to arms, which he
had hitherto with much solicitude avoided.    The Indians were
defeated by their precipitance : instead of the mode natural to
them, of drawing the enemy into their fortresses, they rushed
into an open plain, the Vega Real, and numbers being thrown
into consternation by the first appearance of European warfare,
the impetuosity  of cavalry,  (which  they conceived,   like the
Thessalonians, to be Centaurs,) and the fierce onset of the do***
they yielded to Columbus an easy victory; and those who were
not taken prisoners, and reduced to servitude, resigned them-
selves entirely to despair.   Such was the disparity of power, that
though near an hundred thousand Indians took the field with
missile Aveapons of their rude fashion, the victory was obtained
by two hundred foot, twenty horse, and twenty large dogs, which
formed the whole disposable force of the Spaniards.
Columbus employed several months in passing through the
island to complete its subjection, and impose a tribute on all the
natives above the age of fourteen, which was one of the first
effects of a policy adopted against his own inclination to gratify
the avarice of the Spanish court, at which he was attempted to be

undermined,
Journalling of aprepro!

Commands using aprepro statements are now journaled.  For example, "bri x {2*5.0}" is now journaled as "brick x {2*5.0}"
if "journal aprepro" is on, or "brick x 10" if "journal aprepro" is off.  The default is on.

In case you couldn't tell, there is a new command: journal aprepro [on|off].  If you don't specify on or off, the current
setting is displayed.

Some other important changes go along with this:

1) Comments are now journaled.  That's so you can get aprepro variable definitions journaled.

2) Numbers are journaled exactly as they are entered.  That means the maximum number of significant digits is determined
by the command input, not by a set number hard-coded into CUBIT.

3) When journal aprepro is off, numeric results of aprepro statements are journaled according to the rules currently in
effect.  In other words, the maximum number of significant digits IS hard-coded into CUBIT, using the value of DBL_DIG.

4) {Loop}, {If}, and other conditional aprepro statements are not currently journaled.  Instead, the commands are
journaled as they are executed, just as we have been doing up until now.  I'll get this working in the future.

5) Comments on the same line as a command get split into two separate lines in the journal file.  In other words, "bri x
1 # Make a brick" is journaled as:
brick x 1
# Make a brick

I'm excited about this checkin.  In the world of cut-and-paste journal file creation, this has the potential to save a
LOT of time and headache.  There have been many times that I used something like {Vx(35)} but saved it in my journal file
as the actual coordinate.  Later, when I made changes, it was a pain to figure out where that number came from.

on behalf of a larger collaboration report:

"We observed the BeppoSAX WFC error circle of GRB 010214 
(Gandolfi, GCN #933) with the AZT-24 1.1-meter telescope 
at Campo Imperatore (AQ), Italy.

The J-band observation started at February 15.17928 UT and 
the field was imaged for a total exposure time of 2550 sec. 
We detected a faint point-like source which is not present 
in the Digital Sky Survey-2 IR, R and B plates nor the
2MASS plates. The source is located at:

    RA(J2000)=   17h 40m 54.0s
    DEC(J2000)= +48d 32' 20"
    (uncertainty is 2")

This position lies within the WFC error circle (GCN #933)
and is just outside the BeppoSAX NFI error circle quoted
by Gandolfi GCN #937.

The source was detected with a S/N=12 and had a magnitude of 
J=19.1+/-0.3.

Further observations are needed in order to confirm that this 
is the IR counterpart of GRB 010214.

Subject: Proposed changes to Mutual fund trading rules (s7-26-03)

Dear sirs:

I am writing to strongly object to two courses of action which I
understand the SEC may be considering to combat the mutual fund
abuse scandal.  Please do not penalize innocent investors in your
attempt to stop the law breakers.

First, regarding the issue of submitting mutual fund orders to
the fund after 4:00 pm (not the financial intermediary) - this
proposed rule change will hurt innocent investors like myself.  I
have my funds at mutual fund supermarkets like Schwab and
Fidelity to allow easy purchases of shares of various mutual fund
families.  This allows competition among fund families which is
good and I only have to complete one set of account opening
paperwork versus the opening process at each and every fund
family.  However, if I make a decision at 3:30 or even 3:59 pm to
make a purchase - the proposed change in rules will prevent me
from making the purchase that day.  I have NEVER benefited from
the ALREADY ILLEGAL action of submitting orders after 4:00.  The
fact that funds are only priced once a day is creating a movement
to Exchange Traded Funds - this rule change will only further the
shift of funds in that direction.  The scandalous activity you
are trying to stop is already illegal - you just need to punish
the criminals rather than assuming that you cannot trust anyone
and must penalize everybody the same.  (Perhaps the sale of the
miscreant's first born?)

The second action of a short term redemption fee also will tend
to punish all to prevent the few.  Have you never changed your
mind regarding a mutual fund trade (due to your own incorrect
analysis or changing market conditions)?  Once again, the abusers
should be stopped - by the mutual funds themselves which state it
is not allowed in their prospectus.  Certain fund families like
RYDEX cater to timers - let the legal timing activity migrate
there.  Since mutual fund portfolio managers are hurt by the
large inflows of timers - let them ferret out the problem
accounts who lose trading privileges.  Once again, these changes
will only harm innocent investors and drive the migration to
ETFs.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thank you very much.

FROM:    Sandip K. Chakrabarti at S.N. Bose Nat. Centre for Basic Sci  <chakraba@bose.res.in>

ICSP VLF observation of the signatures of SGR/AXP 1E1547.0-5408 bursts

Sandip K. Chakrabarti (S. N. Bose Centre and ICSP), Sushanta K. Mondal (ICSP),
Sudipta Sasmal (ICSP) and Debashis Bhowmick (ICSP)

A number of recent satellite observations have reported the outbursts of
anomalous X-Ray Soft gamma repeater AXP 1E1547.0-5408 which reportedly 
started from January 22nd, 2009 (GCN #8833, 8835, 8837, 8838). We looked at
the ionospheric data of Indian Centre for Space Physics (ICSP) obtained by
receiving Very Low Frequency (VLF) signal from the VTX station at 18.2KHz 
for the 22nd of January (IST), 2009 (21st Jan. 18:30 UT to 22nd Jan. 18:30 
UT) using a Gyrator-II receiver. We found statistically significant 
signatures of short bursts which either suddenly amplified the signal 
or suddenly attenuated the signal. Each event lasted for a few seconds 
as the recombination time is usually longer than the burst duration. We
observe 30 significant signatures out of which 9 were not reported by 
others and these events mostly took pace in late 21st January, 2009 (UT)
before other satellite results were reported. However, the timings of the
remaining 21 events match with the satellite observations. A list and the
light curves of all the major events seen by us in the 22nd January (IST) 
can be found in http://www.bose.res.in/~chakraba/axpsgr.html.

Since both the amplifications and the attenuations were seen, often one
after the other, each event could tell us about the energy spectrum in 
each burst as the upper ionosphere would be primarily affected by 
soft-X-rays and the lower ionosphere would be primarily affected by the
hard-X-rays. The highly tangential source illumination of the ionosphere 
as seen from ICSP (22d34m N, 88d21m E) was probably advantageous. 
We encourage other VLF observers to look into such signatures and 
particularly the latitude dependence.

As a member of the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), I urge you to invest more resources to ensure that:
1) food labels completely and accurately list the presence of all known allergens, including those used in flavorings;
2)food manufacturers adopt measures to prevent the unintentional contamination of their products with undeclared food allergens; and
3) food manufacturers include a toll-free telephone number on their labels that consumers can call for more information about ingredients.

Can he conveyed by language. The fires in the Canada of the mountain were still smoking, but no blaze was discernible. Last nio'ht they appeared as if not more than half a mile or a mile distant; but considerably to our surprise this morning, by a daylight observation, we saw that the cariada, from whence the smoke was curling upwards in graceful wreaths, was some four or five miles from us.
Our first care was to look after and collect together the animals, which, upon our arrival last night, we had let loose to refresh themselves in the manner most agreeable to them. We found them busily employed in cropping the tall seeded grass of the oasis. The anxieties respecting the health, strength, and safety of our . animals, constitute one of the most considerable drawbacks upon the pleasures of our trip,pleasures, as the reader may suppose, derived almost exclusively from the sublime and singular novelties presented to the vision. The significance of the word is in no other respect applicable to this stage of our journey. To fathom the motives of an all-wise Providence, in creating so vast a field of desolation ; to determine in our minds whether the little oases we meet with are the beginnings of a system or process of fertilization which is to ramify and extend, and to render this hitherto abandoned and uninhabitable waste a garden of flowers, teeming with its millions of life ; or whether they are evidences of the last expiring struggles of nature to sustain animal and vegetable existence, which will leave this expansive region impenetrable to the curiosity of man, furnish a study for the thoughts, fruitful of interest and provocative of investigation.
For the purpose of resting and recruiting our over-labored mules, we had predetermined to remain encamped to-day. We cleared away with our hands and willow sticks the thickly-matted grass and weeds around " Buchanan's well," making a handsome basin, some five or six feet in diameter. The water is very cold and pure, and tasted to us more delicious than any of the invented beverages of the epicure to Mm.

  Television is an extention of human consciousness.  It provides
a visual, auditory  experience which imprints itself on the mind
and thus effects the development of  character.  Just as a child
picks up values, principles, language and attitude through his or
her direct experience in a particular physical environment, so
too, are they  conditioned by the tele-experiences brought to
them on screen.
  Mr. Hundt is absolutely right when he speaks about the consumer
driven  influence of the sponsor on the tele-experience fed to
America's children. Each television show is a small piece of art
and like any art it contains the  values and vision of its
creator.  If a television show is contructed to promote  specific
lifestyles and their coresponding products, not only will the art
form be debased but children, given a commercially promoted
world, may learn to reject the  world they live in at present and
their identities within it.
  Constant images of murder and crime, numb a child's natural
sense of horror and outrage at what should be considered highly
abnormal aspects of a healthy society and constant  injections of
an advertiser's perfect world can create self-hatred on a

   At it's best, television can offer, vision.   A world vision,
a vision of nature, a vision of civilization, a vision of history
and possibility. No matter how it's labeled all television is
education.  In the interest of the American public and thus the
nation, the FCC has a duty to oversee the mass education of
America's children.  Freedom is  nothing without responsibilty,
and this is definitely one area of American society where someone
needs to be held responsible.

QUESTION:
Does Mars have a "North Star"? Earth's axis points to Polaris. Has anybody
worked out what star Mars's axis points to?

ANSWER from Michael Malin and Charles Whetsel on August 9, 1997:
The star Deneb (alpha cygnii, M = 1.25) is the brightest star close to the
Martian north pole (within about 10 degrees or so).

(Reference 1971 Mars Scientific Model, JPL Document No. 606-1, 
Claude Michaux and Ray Newburn (authors), 
Section 1, Page 14 illustration attached)

Over the Martian year, throughout most of the northern hemisphere on Mars,
Deneb should be visible in the north just above the horizon, analogous to
the role that Polaris served on the earth.  (But what if the first
sea-faring civilization requiring a navigational refernce developed in the
southern hemisphere? <grin>)

TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  993
SUBJECT: GRB 010222
DATE:    01/02/26 20:36:28 GMT
FROM:    Tetsuharu Fuse at Subaru Telescope, NAOJ  <tetsu@subaru.naoj.org>

During our Edgeworth-Kuiper belt object survey using Subaru telescope
at Mauna Kea, we observed optical counterpart of the GRB 010222
detected by BeppoSAX using accurate coordinate reported by the Naval
Observatory. Roughly estimated R-band magnitude was 18.9 +/- 0.1 at
22.642 (UT) using following stars PG1528+062A, SA104 338, and SA104
339. Due to the lack of standard star around 22.508 (UT), we conducted
relative photometry and obtained 18.4 +/- 0.1 at 22.508 (UT). This
preliminary result suggests the shallow slope for the lightcurve of
GRB 010222. We would like to express our hearty thanks to URATA Yuji
at the Science University of Tokyo for helping us to estimate
appropriate exposure time.

Subject: Shorting of OTCBB Stocks

Please, please, please require the same rules and reporting requirements for 
shorting of OTCBB stocks as is required for NASDAQ stocks.
     
There are some perfectly legitimate OTCBB stocks which subjected to potential 
unlimited naked shorting by market makers.  If that is going to be allowed 
then the figures of short positions should at least be made public.  But 
should it be allowed?  I think not.  I don't think it is allowed on the 
NASDAQ.
     
It can actually destroy a good company by eliminating there ability to raise 
funds with a fair stock price.  It can cause severe losses for shareholders. 
It is a tool for vile manipulation in some cases.
     
If market makers can naked short an OTCBB stock, shouldn't the public be 
allowed to short OTCBB stocks over $5 (not naked but with the same rules lfor 
the public as there is for shorting NASDAQ)?  
     
It would seem that the laws pertaining to the OTCBB market are structured for 
the market makers and financiers so they can manipulate the stock price to no 
end.  I know of cases where this has undoubtedly occurred.  
     
The OTCBB market is necessary for many small companies to raise funds since 
NASDAQ requirements are a bit high.
     
Lets give the companies and the public a level playing field.  Not special 
treatment, just a fair chance.  With the new Eligibility Rules (great step in 
the right direction) fthe companies left on the OTCBB deserve a better chance.
     
Thank you for your consideration.

sending to Port au Prince his animosities, as one exports thither old
fashions and old clothes.
Unhappy people ! with faith extinct, corruption overflowing, and
ignorance displaying its thick shades, yet persuaded that a missionary
thirty years old bore under his cassock the sword of General Leclerc,
or the torches of insurrection ! It feared French influence, and bor-
rowed from France Gallican liberties. It put aside a Francis Xavier
to listen to a diminished descendant of Pithou ! There is nothing
more frightful than to see our scholastic quarrels, our theses of the
Sorbonne, or our parliamentary discussions translated into vulgar
language, and aped at the other end of the world.
M. Tisserant, who had already received the co-operation of several
French priests, was destined again, after many years of prayers, ef-
forts, and infinite pains, to renounce this third (jr fourth plan of a con-
cordat ; he returned to France hoping for better days, and, in the
ardor of his zeal, accepted meanwhile the apostolic prefecture of
Guinea. The Papin, which bore him to the coast of Africa, was over-
taken by a furious tempest. M. Tisserant exhorted his companions,
and being unable to save their fives, he strove to save their souls.
One of them, a young IsraeUte, touched by his virtue, fell on his
knees, and entreated to be baptized. A few hours after, the priest
and neophyte died, ingulfed in the waves, December 7, 1846. M.
Tisserant was thirty-one years old.
With him would have been ingulfed the hope of the mission of
Hayti, had not his example and merits raised up other devotees. A
new attempt was made by Mgr. Spaccapietra to obtain, in the name of
the Holy See, a concordat from the ridiculous Emperor Soulouque.
Finally, the advent, December 22, 1858, of an energetic, intelligent,
and loyal President, General Geffrard, was the occasion of new nego-
tiations, and Mgr. Monettl, a prelate of great merit, sent in 1860 by the
Sovereign Pontiff, has just returned to Europe, bringing back a con-
cordat ratified and signed.
The honor of the initiative belongs to General Geffrard himself,
who, in 1859, sent to Rome a negotiator happily chosen, M. Faubert.
Better acquainted with his own country than any one, the President
well knew that all the population remained attached to the Catholic
faith, with remarkable perseverance, despite the efforts of Protestant
missionaries, facilitated by the bad example of the Cathohc clergy, re-
duced to thirty-three priests, French, Corsican, ItaUan, and Spanish.
He comprehended that the reform of the clergy depended on the hie-

X-43A NEARS FIRST HYPERSONIC FLIGHT

     Imagine an aircraft that can fly at rocket speeds, seven 
times the speed of sound. NASA engineers are preparing for the 
first in a series of test flights that will turn imagination 
into reality with the X-43A and its hypersonic engine.

The first of three scheduled test flights of NASA's scramjet-
propelled aircraft could come as early as June 2. A second 
flight is scheduled for this winter and a final X-43A flight 
is set for late next year.

Typical of any "X," or experimental program, X-43A will fly 
only when weather conditions and all technical factors point 
to the best chance of success.

The X-43A, 12-feet long with a 5-foot wingspan, will be 
dropped from a B-52 bomber flying from NASA's Dryden Flight 
Research Center, Edwards, CA. After being boosted by a Pegasus 
rocket, the X43A will fly at speeds approaching Mach 7 before 
splashing into the Pacific Ocean.

If the first flight occurs Saturday, June 2, a press 
conference will be held a couple of hours after the B-52 
carrier aircraft returns to base. NASA Television will carry 
the news conference and will air video replays of the X-43A 
flight.

Two-way question and answer capability will be available at 
both Dryden and NASA's Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA. 

NASA TV is broadcast on GE-2, transponder 9C, C-Band, located 
at 85 degrees West longitude, frequency 3880 MHz. Polarization 
is vertical and audio is monaural at 6.8 MHz.

Beginning Thursday, May 31, regularly updated status reports 
on the flight of X-43A will be available by calling Dryden at 
661/276-2564, or on the Internet at:

http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Projects/hyperx/developments.html

GLICKMAN ANNOUNCES ADDITIONAL $231 MILLION FOR DROUGHT RELIEF 

30 Additional Texas Counties Declared Disaster Areas

     WASHINGTON, March 13, 2000--Agriculture Secretary Dan Glickman today
announced that farmers and ranchers will receive about $231 million in payments
for 1999 grazing losses, damaged pasture land and loss of livestock due to
droughts and other natural disasters.

     "For our farmers and ranchers, Mother Nature's whims can be the difference
between profiting and perishing.  More than any other vocation, farmers are at
the mercy of forces completely beyond their control," said Glickman.  "This
assistance will help get producers back on their feet again."

     USDA's Farm Service Agency is designating $191 million for grazing losses
and 1999 livestock losses.  Grazing payments will be made to more than 214,000
livestock producers in 44 states. Over 700 livestock producers will receive
payments for the loss of more than 79,000 head of livestock. Payments will begin
this week.

     An additional $40 million will help producers reestablish pasture land. 
Established pasture is eligible if damage by drought will require reseeding to
reestablish the forage crop where livestock normally grazed.  Sign up for the
program will begin March 20, 2000.

     Glickman also announced a drought disaster declaration for ten Texas
counties, and twenty contiguous counties.  Last month 40 other counties counties
were also declared disaster areas.  This designation makes all family-sized farm
operators in both primary and contiguous counties eligible for low-interest
emergency loans from the Farm Service Agency.  

     Primary disaster counties named are  Falls, Fisher, Hays, Johnson, Lee,
Menard, Morris, Shackelford, Upshur and Williamson Counties.  Contiguous counties
named are Bastrop, Blanco, Caldwell, Comal, Ellis, Fayette, Gregg, Guadalupe,
Hood, Jones, Kimble, Mitchell, Parker, Scurry, Smith, Somervell, Sutton, Tarrant,
Travis, and Washington Counties.

The Mississippi River (MR) is severely regulated, mainly for transportation and 
flood control. Coastal wetlands are critical to marine fishes and invertebrates, 
and about 0.6% are being lost yearly to natural and human-induced forces, 
including levees which divert sediment directly into the Gulf of Mexico, instead 
of allowing it to build up the delta during annual floods. Distribution of 241 
fish species reported from mainstream MR has been influenced mainly by 
glaciation, natural barriers and human activities; species diversity generally 
increases downstream.
