CASSINI SATURN MISSION, SPACECRAFT FINALIZED

     NASA's Cassini mission to Saturn has passed a major milestone 
with the completion this week of a project-wide critical design 
review.

     The review, which included a comprehensive examination of the 
mission and spacecraft, closed today at NASA's Jet Propulsion 
Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.

     "We are very pleased with the outcome of the review and the 
status of all elements of the project," said Richard J. Spehalski, 
Cassini Project Manager at JPL.  "The design process is moving 
forward very briskly."

     In addition to JPL Cassini team members, the review included 
presentations by Dr. Hamid Hassan, European Space Agency Project 
Manager for Cassini's Huygens Titan probe and Dr. Romeo Pernice of 
the Italian Space Agency which is contributing Cassini's high-gain 
antenna and science instrumentation.

     In other recent activities related to Cassini, NASA issued 
letters to scientific investigators formally confirming the 
mission's experiment payload.

     The 12 experiments onboard the Cassini orbiter were 
tentatively selected in 1990, subject to evaluation during an 
"accommodation period" until the confirmation was issued.  Another 
six experiments are on ESA's Huygens probe.

     Planned for launch on a Titan IV-Centaur in October 1997, 
Cassini will fly by Venus twice as well as by Earth and Jupiter 
before arriving at Saturn in November 2004 to begin a 4-year 
orbital tour of the ringed planet and its 18 moons.  The Huygens 
probe will descend to the surface of one of the moons, Titan, in 
June 2005.

Chairman Levitt:
        Having read this morning's editorial in the Wall Street Journal as
well as the
"Fool on the Hill" column at the Motley Fool website, I want to let you know 
that
I support your efforts to eliminate the unfair advantage Wall Street brokers 
and 
analysts (to say nothing of institutional investors) have over the 
stockholding public.
The fact that some players in the market have the advantage of what amounts 
to
inside information makes a mockery of the market and places John Q. Public 
at
a distinct disadvantage when deciding what stocks to trade in- to say 
nothing of 
when.
        At a time when over 50% of Americans own shares in publicly traded
companies, to allow some companies to share financial information with a 
priviliged few ahead of the rest of their shareholders is nothing short of 
vile.
Any move on the SEC's part to restrict -and hopefully end- this process has 
my
complete support. I own a small portfolio of stocks that constitute my 
retirement
fund (as I have no faith that Social Security will be there for me when I 
retire)
and the notion that some Armani-suited creep that works for Morgan Stanley 
has better access than I do to information on my companies makes my blood 
boil.
        I am sending copies of this letter to my Senators and Congressmen 
in the hope that they will support your efforts.
     
Cordially,

TITLE:   GCN GRB OBSERVATION REPORT
NUMBER:  586
SUBJECT: GRB 000301c near-IR observations
DATE:    00/03/05 05:48:25 GMT
FROM:    James Rhoads at STScI  <rhoads@stsci.edu>

James Rhoads and Andy Fruchter (STScI) report:

We observed the proposed afterglow of GRB 000301c with the NASA IRTF + NSFCam
in K' band (2.1 microns) on March 4.640, and in J band (1.25 microns) on
March 4.652.  The data were photometrically calibrated by observations
of UKIRT faint standard 27.  Seeing was approximately 0.85" in K'
and 0.95" in J.

We find K'=17.65 +- 0.04 and J=19.10 +- 0.05 (statistical error only)
for the candidate afterglow.  Aperture photometry was performed using a
0.9" (3 pixel) radius aperture, corrected to an effective aperture of
2.7" radius using aperture corrections derived from the brighter star
5.7" W and 1" S of the proposed OT.  For reference, this star had
magnitudes K'=15.96 +- 0.02 and J=16.63 +- 0.01.

No correction was made for atmospheric extinction or color terms; however,
these are expected to be small.  (The standard was observed at airmass 1.09,
and the GRB field at airmass 1.02.)

We detect a faint object, quite possibly a galaxy, approximately 2" N and
1" E of the candidate OT; this could be the host galaxy if the OT is
real.  This object has approximate magnitudes K'=19.8, J=20.8.

This K' flux shows no significant decline from the earlier reported
observations (Stecklum et al, GCNC 572; Kobayashi et al, GCNC 577), 
while it would be expected to decay by 0.44 magnitudes from Kobayashi's
data point for a t^-1.0 power law.  This relative constancy of the near-IR
flux, despite optical fading, is difficult to reconcile with GRB afterglow
models, especially if it persists for more than a day.  

We note that many classes of variable objects (other than
afterglows) show stronger variability at bluer wavelengths.
The weak or nonexistent variability in the K' filter is therefore
a cause for concern, and we urge continued followup at both optical
and IR wavelengths.

We thank the staff of the IRTF for help with these service observations.

BRIEFINGS AND LIVE FEED SET FOR FIRST ASTEROID TOUCHDOWN

     On Feb. 12, NASA makes history when mission controllers 
attempt to bring a spacecraft down to the surface of an asteroid 
for the first time. 

Controllers will send commands to the NEAR Shoemaker spacecraft 
to initiate a four-hour series of engine burns designed to set 
the spacecraft down gently on the asteroid Eros at about 3:01 
p.m. EST.

The target site is on a saddle-shaped area known as Himeros on 
the Manhattan-sized asteroid. The goal is to obtain high-
resolution imagery as NEAR Shoemaker, which has completed its 
one-year orbital mission of Eros, slowly drops to the surface.

A media briefing to discuss the mission's science results and 
the details of the descent to the surface of Eros is set for 1 
p.m. EST, Wednesday, Jan. 31, in the James E. Webb Auditorium at 
NASA Headquarters, 300 E St. SW, Washington, DC. The briefing 
will be carried live on NASA Television with question-and-answer 
capability for reporters at participating NASA Centers.

Speakers for the briefing will be:
-  Dr. Edward Weiler, Associate Administrator for Space Science, 
   NASA Headquarters
-  Dr. Andrew Cheng, NEAR Project Scientist, The Johns Hopkins 
   University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), Laurel, MD
-  Dr. Mark Robinson, Imaging Team member, Northwestern 
   University, Evanston, IL
-  Dr. Jessica Sunshine, Staff Scientist, Science Applications 
   International Corp., Chantilly, VA
-  Dr. Robert Farquhar, NEAR Mission Director, APL

On Monday, Feb. 12, 2001, "Descent to Eros" events will be held 
at the Applied Physics Laboratory's Kossiakoff Center, in 
Laurel, MD. Media interested in covering the descent activities 
at APL should contact Helen Worth, APL Public Affairs Office. 

A brief summary of the Feb. 12 activities are: 
- 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. EST -- Recap of the mission 
- 1:45 to 3:30 p.m. EST -- Descent Activities from the NEAR
  Mission Operations Center (broadcast live on satellite).

On Wednesday, Feb. 14, a press conference is scheduled at 1 p.m. 
EST in APL's Kossiakoff Center to discuss details of the 
landing. Because NEAR was not designed to land, there is very 
little chance the spacecraft will continue to operate after it 
reaches the surface of Eros.

Due to the expected launch of the space shuttle mission in 
February, live coverage of the descent-day activities on Feb. 12 
and the post-mission briefing on Feb. 14 will not be broadcast 
on NASA TV, but will be available on a separate satellite. 
Details regarding those two events, including updated satellite 
information, will be provided early next month.

NASA TV is broadcast on GE-2, transponder 9C, C-Band, located at 
85 degrees West longitude. The frequency is 3880.0 MHz. 
Polarization is vertical and audio is monaural at 6.8 MHz.

but the scene was one of dull monotony, and it was not until the day following that we came into the hill country, and I was permitted to again see the dear trees I loved so well, not one of which I had seen since leaving California.
At Anvik there came on board a little missionary teacher bound for Philadelphia, who had spent seven years with the natives in this Episcopal Mission without a vacation, and her stories were interesting in the extreme.
Our days were uneventful. A broken stern wheel, enforced rests upon sand bars, frequent stops at wood yards with a few moments run upon shore in which to gather autumn leaves, and get a sniff of the woods, this was our life upon the Yukon steamer for many days. After a while the nights grew too dark for safe progress, and the boat was tied up until daylight.
Russian Mission, Tanana, Rampart, Fort Yukon and the Flats were passed, and the days wore tediously on. We were literally worming our way up stream, with low water and dark nights to contend with, but a second summer was upon us with warm, bright sunshine, and the hills were brilliantly colored.
One morning we approached the towering Roquett Rock, so named by Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka in his explorations down the Yukon years before, and connected with which is an Indian legend of some interest.

these conditions as well as the events. He creates the whole, in one
act, complete, unchangeable, and it is then unfolded like a rolling
panorama, with its predetermined contingencies.
Man's free choice  liberum arbitrium  falls easily into place as
a predetermined contingency. God is the first cause, and acts in all
secondary causes directly ; but while He acts mechanically on the rest
of creation,  as far as is known,  He acts freely at one point, and
this free action remains free as far as it extends on that line. Man's
freedom derives from this source, but it is simply apparent, as far as
he is a cause ; it is a reflex action determined by a new agency of the
first cause.
However abstruse these ideas may once have sounded, they are far
from seeming difficult in comparison with modern theories of energy.
Indeed, measured by that standard, the only striking feature of Saint
Thomas's motor is its simplicity. Thomas's prime motor was very
powerful, and its lines of energy were infinite. Among these infinite
lines, a certain group ran to the human race, and, as long as the con-
duction was perfect, each man acted mechanically. In cases where the
current, for any reason, was for a moment checked,  that is to say,
produced the effect of hesitation or reflection in the mind,  the cur-
rent accumulated until it acquired power to leap the obstacle. As Saint
Thomas expressed it, the Prime Motor, Who was nothing else than
God, intervened to decide the channel of the current. The only differ-
ence between man and a vegetable was the reflex action of the com-
plicated mirror which was called mind, and the mark of mind was
reflective absorption or choice. The apparent freedom was an illusion
arising from the extreme delicacy of the machine, but the motive
power was in fact the same  that of God.
This exclusion of what men commonly called freedom was carried
still further in the process of explaining dogma. Supposing the con-
duction to be insufficient for a given purpose; a purpose which shall
require perfect conduction? Under ordinary circumstances, in ninety-

1993.01.08 :  Nitrostat Supply 
             
Contact: Susan Cruzan - (301) 443-4177 (Home) -- (301) 926-7081
January 8, 1993

    The Food and Drug Administration has been receiving inquiries
expressing concern about the supply of Parke-Davis & Co.'s
Nitrostat, a nitroglycerin tablet that is dissolved under the
tongue for treatment of acute angina.  Warner-Lambert, which owns
Parke-Davis, has reported that problems with new manufacturing
processes for the drug may have temporarily disrupted distribution
of the drug in certain strengths to some outlets.
    Although spot shortages have occurred, the company is quickly
resupplying pharmacies, and no public health problems are
anticipated.  According to reports the agency has received,
production problems with this product have been resolved, and full
distribution has now resumed.  
    The company has released an additional 300,000 bottles of
Nitrostat in the 0.3 and 0.4 milligram strengths, which should take
care of any backlogs and provide an adequate supply of the drug
throughout the country by Tues., Jan. 12.  Warner-Lambert has
informed doctors and pharmacists of the status of the distribution
and is sending an additional letter to pharmacists today with more
details.  The company is shipping the product by air freight to its
distributors, and has established a mechanism to ensure
availability to all pharmacies.
    In the meantime, patients should obtain the drug in normal
quantities only, to ensure adequate supplies for all.  Pharmacists
should use prudence in filling large requests.  Substitution of
lower-strength tablets may be made in some cases where higher-
strength tablets are unavailable.  Patients with questions about
this matter should consult their physician or pharmacist.

QUESTION:
Is it possible that Mars has iron distributed through it much more uniformly
than Earth?  If this is true, is it possible that most of the surface water
on Mars combined with the iron creating iron oxide and releasing hydrogen. 
And if this is true, because hydrogen is so light, wouldn't there be a much
greater tendency for the hydrogen to be lost into space?

The ANSWER comes from Mary Urquhart on July 14, 1997:
What an excellent question!  When the hydrogen is separated from the oxygen
in water to make hydrogen gas it certainly does have a greater tendency to
be lost into space. If a large amount of water was lost by binding the
oxygen to iron and losing the hydrogen it could indeed affect the evolution
of the atmosphere and the water abundance on Mars. So the real questions
are: how much material on Mars is oxidized and what process (or processes)
caused the oxidation?

Mars does apparently have iron oxides in the form of the dust and soil
material distributed across the surface of the planet.  However, in many
places the layer of soil material may be quite thin.  We don't really know
how much of the Martian surface materials have been oxidized.

One possibility: on the Earth massive iron formations called banded iron
formations were produced early in the Earth's history.  If large bodies of
water ever existed for long periods of time on Mars (a BIG if) then it is
quite possible that beds of oxidized iron like those found on the Earth
exist on Mars.  These beds may even be the source for some of the dust and
soil material.

It is also possible that the oxidizing reactions occurred in an entirely
different way such as interaction of individual grains in the dust and soil
with the Martian atmosphere.  Other possibilties exist as well. Whatever the
cause, it is also quite possible that the oxidization has only affected a
relatively tiny but highly visible portion of the surface of Mars.

Now as to how the material was oxidized, there are several ways.  One way is
to react the material with free oxygen gas. The free oxygen can come from
several sources including dissociation of carbon dioxide, and some reactions
can produce extremely short lived free oxygen near the surface of the grains
that will be oxidized. Another is to have ultraviolet light react with iron
in solution with water.  Yet another way is to expose the iron to hydrogen
peroxide.  Some of these processes will cause water to be lost from Mars,
some may cause other gases like carbon dioxide to be lost over time.  No one
really knows which is correct, or how much of these gases have been lost.

Semihard scattering unraveled from collective dynamics by 
two-pion azimuthal correlations in 158A GeV/c Pb+Au collisions

The azimuthal anisotropy is a consequence of early partonic rescattering in
the dense overlap zone of the nuclei at the time of collision and carries
information on such important issues as the equation of state and the level
of equilibration achieved. We report about successful attempts to trace
primeval partonic scattering and the onset of thermalization in the medium
together with and separated from elliptic flow by two-particle azimuthal
correlations of pions at moderately high transverse momentum
(p$_T>$1.2~GeV/$c$) as a function of the centrality of the collision.

Using the large data set of 158A~GeV/c Pb+Au collisions measured by the
CERES/NA45 experiment close to midrapidity we have extracted elliptic flow
anisotropies (v$_2$) of high-p$_T$ pions (p$_T>$1.0~GeV/c) and charged
particles (p$_T>$0.3~GeV/c) employing standard flow analysis with respect to
the event plane and two-particle azimuthal correlations. Elliptic flow
($v_2$) obtained by the standard analysis rises about linearly with $p_T$ to
a value of about 10$\%$ at 1.5~GeV/$c$. Beyond $p_T\approx$~1.5~GeV/$c$, the
slope decreases considerably, possibly indicating a saturation of $v_2$ at
high $p_T$. Two-pion azimuthal anisotropies for $p_T>$~1.2~GeV/$c$ exceed
the elliptic flow values by about 60$\%$ in mid-central collisions and
reveal non-harmonic contributions at $\Delta\phi$=0 ('close-angle') and
$\Delta\phi=\pi$ ('back-to-back') which are attributed to dijet-like
semihard scattering. While the fragmentation peak does not change its width,
the back-to-back peak is considerably broadened and escapes detection in
central collisions. The results are discussed with the perspective of $p_T$
broadening and jet quenching and related information from inclusive particle
spectra at the SPS and RHIC.

FIXED GEAR SABLEFISH FISHERY IN
STATE WATERS OTHER THAN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND & STATE LIMITED
ENTRY SABLEFISH FISHERY
          
Steven Pennoyer, Administrator, Alaska Region, National Marine
Fisheries Service, today issued a reminder that, except for
sablefish fishing in the Alaska state Limited Entry fishery and
waters of the Prince William sound, the IFQ regulations govern
commercial sablefish fishing by vessels that use fixed gear:

     a) within the EEZ off Alaska; and
     b) within the Alaska state waters adjacent to the EEZ off
     Alaska if at any time during the calender year:
          1) any person on board that vessel has been issued an
          IFQ permit for sablefish, regardless of area; or
          2) any person on board that vessel has been issued an
          IFQ card ( hired skipper  card) authorizing him/her to
          land IFQ sablefish for debit against the permit
          holder s IFQ, regardless of area.

To obtain information concerning this clarification or existing
regulations, consult the applicable regulation published in the
Federal Register, or contact the Fisheries Management Division,

Identification and functions of cis- and trans-encoded non-coding RNAs in cyanobacteria and plants

Wolfgang R. Hess,
Professor for Experimental Bioinformatics 
University Freiburg, Inst. Biology II, Freiburg, Germany
http://www.cyanolab.de/

Tentative abstract (from PNAS 103: 7054-7058):
Small regulatory noncoding RNAs exist in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms.
 Most of these RNA transcripts are trans-encoded RNAs with short and only partial antisense
 complementarity to their target RNAs, which regulate gene expression by modifying mRNA 
stability and translation. In contrast, reports on the function of cis-encoded, perfectly 
complementary antisense RNAs in eubacteria are rare. Cyanobacteria respond to iron
 deficiency by expressing IsiA (iron stress-induced protein A), which forms a giant 
ring structure around photosystem I. Here, we show that this process is controlled by 
IsrR (iron stress-repressed RNA), a cis-encoded antisense RNA transcribed from the isiA 
noncoding strand. Artificial overexpression of IsrR under iron stress causes a strongly 
diminished number of IsiA-photosystem I supercomplexes, whereas IsrR depletion results 
in premature expression of IsiA. The coupled degradation of IsrR/isiA mRNA duplexes appears
 to be a reversible switch that can respond to environmental changes. IsrR is the only RNA 
known so far to regulate a photosynthesis component.
 
If you would like to meet Dr. Hess before or after the talk, please let me know.

ALASKA WEATHER SUMMARY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE JUNEAU AK
4 PM AST SAT NOV 8 2003



DOMINANT FEATURES ON THE ALASKA WEATHER MAP THIS AFTERNOON WERE
THE LOW PRESSURE SOUTHWEST OF NUNIVAK ISLAND IN THE BERING
SEA...AN ASSOCIATED FRONTAL SYSTEM THAT TRAILED ACROSS BRISTOL
BAY FROM THE LOW TO THE ALASKA PENINSULA AND THE WESTERN
GULF...AND A FRONTAL SYSTEM EXITING THE EXTREME SOUTHEAST. 
EXTENSIVE CLOUDINESS BLANKETED ALL BUT SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA
AND THE EASTERN GULF COAST WHERE MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES HELD THROUGH
MUCH OF THE DAY.

PRECIPITATION TODAY FELL AS SNOW FROM SOUTHWEST TO WESTERN ALASKA
AND FROM THE INTERIOR TO THE NORTH SLOPE. SNOW ALSO FELL IN THE
PANHANDLE AROUND HYDER. ACCUMULATION REPORTS WERE GENERALLY LESS
THAN ONE INCH. RAIN FELL HEAVILY AT TIMES ACROSS THE PANHANDLE
WITH A FEW REPORTS OF THUNDER NEAR PORT ALEXANDER. RAINFALL
AMOUNTS RANGED FROM LESS THAN A TENTH OF AN INCH IN THE
SKAGWAY/HAINES AREA TO OVER AN INCH IN THE JUNEAU AREA. 

A HIGH WIND WARNING OVER THE WESTERN ARCTIC COAST AND WIND
ADVISORY ALONG THE WEST COAST ENDED THIS MORNING BUT A HEAVY SURF
ADVISORY REMAINED IN PLACE FOR THE CHUKCHI SEA COAST AROUND
SHISHMAREF AND EXPIRED ALONG THE YUKON DELTA COASTAL AREA. MAJOR
COASTAL FLOODING WAS REPORTED IN EASTERN NORTON SOUND FROM
SHAKTOOLIK TO STEBBINS. WIND GUSTS TO 45 MPH WERE COMMON FROM
CAPE LISBURNE TO SHISHMAREF AND SIMILAR GUSTS FROM NORTON SOUND
TO THE BRISTOL BAY COAST HAD SUBSIDED THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WERE
STILL VERY STRONG AT TIMES ALONG THE OUTSIDE COASTAL AREAS OF THE
PANHANDLE INTO THE AFTERNOON WITH GUSTS OVER 50 MPH AT CAPE
SPENCER WHILE GUSTS TO 45 MPH BLASTED THE COAST FROM SITKA TO
CAPE DECISION. EARLY MORNING GUSTS OF 35 TO 40 MPH ROCKED THE
CAPITAL CITY EARLY AS THE COLD FRONT SWEPT THROUGH.

TEMPERATURES AROUND THE STATE AS OF 2 PM RANGED FROM ZERO ALONG
THE ARCTIC COAST TO THE MID 40S FROM THE EASTERN ALEUTIANS ACROSS
THE GULF COAST TO THE KENAI PENINSULA TO THE PANHANDLE. SINGLE
DIGITS WERE CONFINED NORTH OF THE BROOKS RANGE WITH TEENS ALONG
THE CHUKCHI SEA COAST. LOW TO MID 20S WERE OBSERVED AROUND THE
SEWARD PENINSULA AND THROUGH THE EASTERN INTERIOR AND INTO THE
MATANUSKA VALLEY AND THE COPPER RIVER BASIN. 30S COVERED
SOUTHWEST ALASKA AND THE INTERIOR WITH 40S GENERALLY SOUTH OF THE
ALASKA RANGE.THE LOW TEMPERATURE REPORT FOR THE DAY CAME FROM
ANAKTUVUK PASS AND BARTER ISLAND...BOTH WITH REPORTS OF ZERO
DEGREES. THE HOT SPOT IN THE STATE WAS IN THE PANHANDLE WHERE
CAPE DECISION AND SITKA BOTH REACHED A BALMY 50 DEGREES.

The latest version of the gemvis software is now available for anonymous ftp
from the NCEP server at ftp.ncep.noaa.gov.  Please cd to /pub/hpc and get
the
compressed tar file named gemvis.tar.Z.  Uncompress the file, and untar it.
There is a README file describing the installation procedure, with which you
are already familiar.  This latest version supports the depth vertical
coordinate which allows gemvis to handle oceanographic data.

This version of GEMVIS has not been linked with any version of vis5d higher
than 4.2.  Linking to a later version of vis5d may result in link time or
execution time errors because of changes to vis5d software libraries.  I
have
moved on to another position here at NCEP; so, I no longer maintain the

thought: for this purpose it disposed of one department only and was without any local organs.
This abnormal state of things, in a country where agriculture has the most vital importance for the national welfare, justly attracted the attention of the Emperor Alexander III, who ordered a scheme to be immediately worked out for the reconstitution of the Ministry of State Domains into the Ministry of Agriculture and State Domains. This scheme was soon ready and received the Imperial sanction on the 21 March, 1894.
In its present form, the Ministry of Agriculture, presided over by the Minister and his Assistant, consists, without counting the Council and Chancery, firstly of institutions having reference to agriculture.
Here belong first of all the Agricultural Council, which discusses all the measures having for their object the improvement of rural economy and its different branches. The Council assembles annually, principally in winter, and consists, under the presidency of the Minister, of fiften members taken from farmers and persons nearly acquainted with the needs and interests of agriculture. The latter are received by the Minister for one year, their appointment being confirmed by the Emperor. The Council has only a consultative voice and expresses the opinions and desires of the practical fanners.
The Scientific Committee, on the other hand, was founded for the elaboration of scientific and technical questions. Finally, the executive organs are the Department of Agriculture,  the  Section  of Land Improvements and

I am the President of a fraternity house corporation
planning the immediate construction of a house (not a public
facility) for a chapter of this fraternity.  This house will
be built on college campus land owned by the college.

     Differing opinions as to the required compliance with
handicap laws have been received.  Your prompt ruling would
be appreciated as there are no local federal or state
agencies to contact.

     A two-story house for 27 male occupants is planned with
a roof support configuration that would permit possible
future use for a study hall and weekly chapter meetings - no
bedrooms or restrooms - in the attic area.  Handicap
requirements (ramp, door and corridor widths, and restroom
facilities for residents and female guests at social
functions) will be met on the first floor.  Currently there
are no handicapped members, but there may be in the future.
Meetings will be held on the first floor and occupants will
study in their rooms.

     Local opinions range as follows:

     1. Fraternity houses are not public accommodations and
are therefore exempt from handicap requirements regardless
of possible future handicap membership (none now).

     2. If the attic area is finished in the future for use
as a study hall and for chapter meetings, and IF there is a
hadicapped member, chapter meetings would have to be held on
the first floor, but the attic area could still be used as a
study hall and the handicapped member (if a resident) could
study in his room as is the case initially.

     3. Regardless of handicapped membership, handicap
access to the attic area is required if this area is
utilized as a study hall or meeting room.

     I may be contacted by phone (office):1-800-967-5650 or
601/969-0717 or by mail: P.O. Box 445, Jackson, MS  39205 or
FAX 601-961-5958 should further information or discussion be
required.
                                                        
                              Sincerely,

pleasure they afford us. Many of them are very beautiful. Except
the Black-cap Titmouse, which faces our Arctic winter, all are birds
of passage. During the summer, they visit us to display the beauty
of their plumage, often very rich and variegated, and to enliven our
woods with their chirping and harmonious warbling. When gloomy
