Subject: Coral Bleaching, Seychelles
From: Rick Watson, London (watsonbooks@dial.pipex.com)

My wife and I were on Silhouette Island, Seychelles, 
April 6-21, our sixth trip to the island; our previous 
visit had been in August last year. We know the coral 
formations of the island well. On our recent visit we 
discovered extensive coral bleaching affecting all 
areas we explored. We snorkeled and dived at several 
points around the island, effectively a circumnavigation 
of the island covering most of its coral reefs and other 
formations to a depth of 22 metres. Every area was 
seriously affected: 80% plus suffered total bleaching, 
the remaining 20% was unhealthy. Many corals were 
starting to be covered with algae indicating total death 
of the coral. Corals affected were Acropora, Porites, 
Pocillopora, the fire corals, the leather and brain corals, 
and numerous others. There was no significant variation 
in terms of prevailing direction of the formation, 
although corals at Anse Patate, which faces east-southeast, 
were perhaps slightly less affected. We found out that this 
bleaching had all occurred recently,  approximately two 
months ago. I also dived at a point. c. 3 kilometres north 
of Silhouette where there is a large elevanted formation at 
28 metres depth. This also was seriously affected, but 
there were some small areas of only partially bleached 
corals (mainly Acroporas).  The dive instructor on the 
island told us that around the time the bleaching occurred, 
there was extensive floating material in the waters. He said 
that from the air it looked like an oil spill but was in fact 
fine reddish-brown particles like sawdust on the surface to 
a depth of about a meter. This was observed throughout 
the Seychelles. I don't know if there is any connection 
with the bleaching.

ABSTRACT
     A system for measuring the turbulent fluxes of ozone, nitric
acid, and other gases was operated at two sites in 1994.  These
direct measurements of fluxes are for comparison with those
calculated for National Dry Deposition network sites using an
inferential model approach.  Ozone flux was determined by the eddy
correlation technique, while nitric acid flux was obtained from
measurements of concentration gradient and vertical exchange
coefficient.  Ozone fluxes over corn at Bondville, Illinois, showed
strongly diurnal patterns with nighttime values about one-tenth the
daytime peak values.  As the corn plants passes through senescence,
the daily maximum ozone flux decreased.  For nitric acid, measured
and modeled deposition velocities were in general agreement.

RE: Docket No. 00N-1396, and 00D-1598

Dear Ms. Henney,
 
I am supportive of your new policies on genetically engineered (GE)foods. 
 Your agency has required thorough safety testing and refused unecessary 
mandatory labeling for GE foods. Your notification policy is right on 
target, and responsibly adhere to strong scientific evidence of numerous 
potential health and environmental benefits to GE foods. These foods are 
not toxic, have not been shown to cause allergic responses, have normal 
nutrition value, have a positive impact on the environment by reduced use 
of pesticides. 

I am also greatly supportive of your new voluntary labeling policy, 
which could give consumers a basic right to know. Mandatory labeling, is 
neither clear nor informative to the consumer. Consumers already can avoid 
bio-engineered food by purchasing organic items.

Your proposed rules give weight to concerns, and appear to be a decision 
made with scientific vigor. I trust you will take my support along with 
the thousands of others into serious consideration.

Sincerely,

David B G Nicholl

Re: 99P-1340/CP 1
 Petition to Have "Eternity eau de parfum" Misbranded

Dear Sir or Madam:
I am writing because I fully support the petition submitted in May 1999 by 
the Environmental Health Network (EHN) to have Calvin Klein's "Eternity eau 
de parfum" declared misbranded. "Eternity" contains known toxic chemicals, as 
well as chemicals that have not been tested for consumer safety. The 
chemicals in many common fragrance products can be dangerous to a child's 
growth and future health. Uninformed parents, teachers, day-care workers, and 
others can buy "Eternity" and not know they are injuring the children in 
their care. Most people don't realize that perfume or cologne can cause these 
health problems; that is why any product that contains dangerous chemicals, 
or chemicals whose health effects are unknown, must be labeled. 

I request that the FDA give careful attention to your regulations 21CFR Sec. 
740.1, 21CFR Sec. 740.2, and 21CFR Sec. 740.10. Regulation 21CFR Sec. 740.10 
specifically states:

"Each ingredient used in a cosmetic product and each finished cosmetic 
product shall be 'adequately substantiated for safety prior to marketing. Any 
such ingredient or product whose safety is not adequately substantiated prior 
to marketing is misbranded unless it contains the following conspicuous 
statement on the principal display panel: Warning -- The safety of this 
product has not been determined."

 As the petition shows, "Eternity" contains toxic ingredients and ingredients 
whose safety have not been substantiated. There is no warning label on its 
packaging. 

We all have a right to know the status of safety testing of the ingredients 
in products such as "Eternity" so that we can protect ourselves and our 
families from toxic chemicals that may cause health problems. 

Like tobacco smoke, the harmful chemicals currently used in these products 
may affect the health of many people. Children are particularly vulnerable to 
toxic chemicals found in products purchased and used by their parents, care 
givers and teachers. We all have a right to know whether the product we 
purchase may cause damage to ourselves or our children.

Please see to it that this petition -- and the issue it represents -- get the 
careful scrutiny they deserve. The public has a right to know and protect the 
health of our families.

Sincerely,

Judith A. Stringer

Subject: File No. S7-19-03 - Comments of Maryland Ret. System

Importance: High

December 16, 2003

Jonathan G. Katz
Secretary
Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street, NW
Washington, DC 20549-0609

RE: File No. S7-19-03

Dear Mr. Katz:

The State Retirement and Pension System of Maryland (the "Retirement
System") administers retirement plans for more than 90,000 retirees and
beneficiaries as well as the future benefits for more than 190,000 active
participating members. These groups include state government employees,
teachers, law enforcement personnel, legislators, judges and local
government employees and fire fighters whose employers have elected to
participate in the Retirement System.

The Board of Trustees of the Retirement System applauds the SEC for issuing
the proposals contained in the Commission's October 14, 2003 release (the
"Proposed Rules").  It is our belief that the Proposed Rules are a positive
step.  It is our hope that the Proposed Rules will help foster greater,
more productive communication between shareholders and the boards charged
with representing shareholders' interests.

We also submit the following comments regarding the Proposed Rules for the
Commission's consideration.

Comment 1 ? State law nullification concerns (Proposed Rule 14a-11(a)(1))

At least one other commentator has expressed the concern that, if finalized
in its present form, Proposed Rule 14a-11(a)(1) might lead certain states
to pass laws that would prohibit security holders from nominating
candidates for election as a director.  Such action could have the result
of exempting companies from compliance with the Proposed Rules.  See
comment letter dated November 22, 2003 submitted by the Independent
Corporate Directors Association at p. 11.  While the validity of any such
state action might well be open to challenge, we would urge the Commission
to carefully weigh whether the current text of this provision of the
Proposed Rules would inadvertently set off a new "race to the bottom" ? an
outcome that would be profoundly at odds with the Commission's goals in
this rule making effort.

Comment 2 ? Clarification of independence requirement.   We endorse, and
would ask the Commission to carefully review, the points raised by the
California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) regarding the impact
which the proposed independence requirements could have on relational
investment strategies.  See comment letter dated December 4, 2003 submitted
by CalSTRS at 4 (penultimate bullet under Response 3).

On behalf of our participants and Board of Trustees, we thank the
Commission and its staff for its hard work and appreciate the opportunity
to present our views regarding the Proposed Rules.

Sincerely,

Thomas K. Lee
Secretary to the Board
UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

          Litigation Release No. 16043 / January 25, 1999

          SEC OBTAINS $1.374 MILLION AWARD AGAINST PENNY STOCK PROMOTER,
          MATT MATSON OF POMPANO BEACH, FLORIDA

          SEC v. THE HOME LINK CORP., HOME LINK OF FLORIDA, INC., HOME LINK
          OF NEVADA, INC., and MATT MATSON, UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT,
          SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA, CASE NO.96-6860-CIV-GONZALEZ

               The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced that
          on January 11, 1999 United States District Judge Jose A.
          Gonzalez, Jr., ordered Matt Matson ("Matson"), a Pompano Beach,
          Florida stock promoter, to pay $1,274,00 in disgorgement and
          $100,000 in civil money penalties.

               In July 1996 the SEC sued Matson in connection with his
          promotion earlier that year of $1 million of the stock in each of
          two subsidiaries of The Home Link Corporation, Home Link of
          Nevada, Inc. and Home Link of Florida, Inc.  The SEC alleged that
          Matson had fraudulently promoted the stock through a number of
          fraudulent misrepresentations to the financial press, market
          professionals and investors.  On the SECs motion, the Court
          enjoined Matson and the other defendants from further violations
          of the securities law, froze their assets and appointed a
          receiver who took control, and ultimately liquidated, the Home
          Link companies.  Shortly before the lawsuit was filed, the
          Commission suspended trading of Home Link's stock for the maximum
          10-day period permitted under Section 12(k)(1)(A) of the Exchange
          Act because there appeared to be a lack of current and accurate
          information concerning, among other things, Home Link's
          capitalization, whether Home Link was pursuing a NASDAQ listing,
          and Home Link's business prospects.

               On  September  25,  1997,  an  SEC  Administrative Law Judge
          ("ALJ") entered an order, which has since  become  final, barring
          Matson  from  participating  in the offering of any penny  stock,
          including acting as a promoter,  finder,  consultant,  agent,  or
          other  person  who  engages  in actions with a broker, dealer, or
          issuer  for purposes of the issuance  or  trading  in  any  penny
          stock, or  inducing  or attempting to induce the purchase or sale
          of any penny stock.

Subject: Misuse of Antibiotics

I have recently read that the great majority of antibiotics used in the
USA go to healthy animals such as pigs, cows and poultry merely to
increase their growth.  This is a tragic misuse of these drugs and quite
obviously will reduce their effectiveness for treating infections in
humans.  I believe the first step in curbing this rampant misuse of
antibiotics should be to collect  data on agricultural usage of these
drugs in the United States.  I would like to hear from you about this
thought...jesse steinman

Image Description -  1197-1

An uncaptioned and unlabeled, high resolution photograph shows the Deep 
Space 2 probe sitting on a surface such as a tabletop. A size reference placed 
within the image shows that the entire system is slightly larger than a man's 
fist. A disk-shaped module appears to be housed in sheet metal and features 
a tapered antenna rod extending orthogonal to the disk; four thin whiskers 
extend perhaps one inch from the unattached end of the antenna. Sitting 
on a surface apart from the module, but connected to it by a coiled wire, is 
the bullet-shaped penetrator designed to pierce the Martian surface. Against 
the provided size reference, the penetrator appears to be approximately 1-1/2 
inches in diameter and 4 inches in length.
LOUISIANA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

uughtto have them. She owes it to herself to collect this proper patrimony of her sons, in the record of an early history abounding in vivid incident, and illustrated with a display of the noblest traits of man's nature. New York has sot a good example in the large appropriation that enabled our present Secretary of Legation, Mr. Brod-Iiead, to pursue his researches for four years in France, England, and the Hague. He who would now write a history of that State must Login by complimenting the enlightened spirit that places all his materials in the hall of her Historical Society. Massachusetts two years since made a similar collection at the instance of Messrs. Sparks ind Everett, whose personal examination of the different foreign archives taught them the value of manuscripts, now fortunately within the reach of every student of Harvard. If the memoranda I send can assist in any way the Historical Society of Louisiana, in accomplishing the purpose of its institution, and in attracting attention to the interest of our early history, I shall be gratified, and shall feel that I have acknowledged in some sort, the politeness of Gov. Johnson's note calling my attention to the subject.
With much regard, your friend,
JOHN PERKINS. J. D. B. De Bow, Esq.
The Louisiana Historical Society has yet scarcely more than passed its infancy. It will be for those who come after us to adorn and complete the edifice whose foundation we have but barely laid.
I. annex a list of regular and honorary members, but few of whom have taken any active part in the business of the Society.
Your obedient servant,
J. D. B. DE BOW, Secretary.
We present a study of the dijet invariant mass distribution for
the reaction p anti-p --&gt; 2 jets + gamma + X, at a center of mass energy of 1.8
TeV, using data collected by the CDF experiment.  We compare the data to
predictions for the production of a photon with two jets, together with the
resonant processes p anti-p --&gt; W/Z + gamma _ X, in which the W and Z bosons
decay hadronically.  A fit is made to the dijet invariant mass distribution
combining the non-resonant background and resonant processes.  We use the
result to establish a limit for the inclusive production cross section of
W/Z + gamma with hadronic decay of the W and Z bosons.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  September 9, 1988
            FTC CHARGES NEW YORK HOME INSULATION FIRM
                        VIOLATED FTC RULE
     The Federal Trade Commission has charged C-M Fiber, a home
insulation company, with overstating the insulating ability of
its product in violation of the FTC's R-value rule, in a com-
plaint filed in federal court.
     C-M Fiber and its owner, R. Eugene Crandall, are charged
with displaying R-values in labels and advertisements that were
not determined according to procedures required by the rule.
     R-value in insulation is a measurement of resistance to heat
flow.  The FTC's R-value rule requires that R-values given in
labels, fact sheets, advertisements, and promotional materials
must be based on tests done under conditions  designed by the
American Society of Testing and Materials.
     The complaint also charges that the company sold home insu-
lation having an actual R-value more than 10 percent below the R-
value stataed in its labels and advertisements, which is a vio-
lation of the rule.
     The complaint was filed Sept. 8 in the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of New York.  C-M Fiber is located in
Port Byron, N.Y.
     NOTE: The Commission files a complaint when it has "reason
to believe" that the law has been or is being violated, and it
appears to the Commission that a proceeding is in the public
interest. The complaint is not a finding or ruling that the de-
fendant has actually violated the law. The case will be decided
by the court.
     Copies of the complaint will be available shortly from the
FTC's Public Reference Branch, Room 130, 6th St. and Pennsylvania
Ave. N.W. Washington, D.C. 20580; 202-326-2222; TTY 202-326-2502
