FOR YOUR INFORMATION.........April 29, 1987
     The Federal Trade Commission has given final approval to the
following consent agreements that it had previously accepted and
placed on the public record for comments:
      --   Meadville, Penn., physicians.  The consent order settles
           charges that 62 doctors in Meadville, Penn., illegally
           threatened to boycott a hospital in another city.  The
           consent agreement was placed on the public record Nov. 25
           and issued March 2.  (Docket No. C-3209)
      --   Reliance Wood Preserving Inc.  The consent orders settle
           charges that Reliance and two associated companies
           misrepresented the flame-retardant value of their
           "Flameguard" wood.  The consent agreements were placed on
           the public record Jan. 15 and issued April 2.  (Dockets No.
           C-3210 and C-3211)
                The Commission voted 4-1 to issue the consent orders,
           with Commissioner Andrew J. Strenio, Jr. dissenting.  In a
           separate statement, he said, "In my view, both the danger
           to public safety from the misrepresentations alleged in
           this matter and the difficulty for consumers of detecting
           the existence and extent of injury indicate that monetary
           redress should be included in the settlement."
      --   C&D Electronics Inc.  The consent order settles charges
           that C&D illegally sold unauthorized cable television
           decoders directly to consumers.  The consent agreement was
           placed on the public record Feb. 24, 1986, and issued March
           6.  (Docket No. C-3212)
                The Commission voted 4-1 to issue the consent order,
           with Commissioner Mary L. Azcuenaga dissenting.  In a
           separate statement, she said, "By accepting this order, the
           Commission embarks on a course of social engineering that
           brings a radical new meaning to the concept of consumer
           protection."
                Chairman Oliver also issued a separate statement, in
           which he said that he voted to accept the agreement because
           "this case fits the analytic framework that we have
           established for our 'unfairness' jurisdiction, and the
           facts present justify Commission action."
     Consent orders are for settlement purposes only and do not
constitute admission of a law violation.  When issued in final form,
they carry the force of law with respect to future actions.  Each
violation of such an order may result in a civil penalty of up to
$10,000.
     A press release summarizing the complaint and consent agreement
in each case was issued at the time it was first announced.  Copies of
the press releases and the agreements are available from the FTC's
Public Reference Branch, Room 130, 6th & Pennsylvania Ave. N.W.,

Hi, all

I wanted to let you know of the current status of BRG selection testing.

I implemented the suggested two-equation approach to photometric 
redshifts. It worked much better... but even better was using
the g-r-i equation for every object. This is reflection of the
photometric z polynomial's sensitivity to measurement error.

The current selection code finds 7 objects in roughly a 2 sq-degree
field. Most of these are spurious targets, either due to saturation
effects or measurement error.

Here are the areas that I believe require attention:
	photometric redshifts: we need to be able to calculate the
		photometric-z taking into account measurement errors.
		Andy Connolly has volunteered for this.

	K-corrections: the current code uses linear interpolation
		between 5 points from a table of Frei and Gunn 1994.
		This is probably not sufficent.

	real parameters: we are currently cutting at (g-r)=1.4
		and M_r = -22. These numbers need to be better defined.
		I believe the idea is 1-sigma redward of the mean BCE
		color, and 1 magnitude fainter than M_r_star.
		Francisco and Bob, weren't you looking into this?

	a surface brightness cut: do we need one? more to the point,
		do we wish to duplicate the galaxy selection criteria
		with looser cuts, and then apply BRG cuts?
		Michael, Neta, and Marc, do you want to think about this?

	should we use 3" aperture magnitudes for colors instead of
		Petrosian mags? (I am beginning to think so.)
		Further testing with the data and selection code
		can shed light on this.

	further testing: there are many hanging questions left to
		explore. for instance, why are there objects just
		above the cut lines but not selected in the plot
		I show on the BRG web page?

Our current group of volunteers is Neta Bahcall, Francisco Castander, 
Andy Connolly, Bob Nichol, Marc Postman, and Michael Strauss.
My attention will be elsewhere next week, so others will have to
run the code and look at the output. I think Michael is gearing up
to, and Bob and Francisco are in position to. I certainly think we
should keep the momentum up until the meeting Nov 14.

"Why don't you stick?" inquired Mullins.
"I am too wise. Hal I know when to quit. He can't win steady-he don't play any system."
"Then he has a good chance," said the girl.
"There he goes now," the little man cried as the uproar arose. "I told you he'd lose." At the voice of the multitude he wavered as though affected by some powerful magnet.
"But he won again," said Mexico.
"Not Did he? Lord! I quit too soonl"
He scampered back into the other room, only to return, hesitating, his money tightly clutched.
"Do you s'pose it's safe? I never saw a man bet so reckless. I guess I'd better quit, eh?" He noted the sneer on the woman's face, and without waiting a reply dashed off again. They saw him clamorously fight his way in towards a post at the roulette-table. "Let me through! I've got money and I want to play itl"
"Pahl" said Mullins, disgustedly. "He's one of them Vermont desperadoes that never laid a bet till he was thirty. If Glenister loses he'll hate him for life."
"There are plenty of his sort here," the girl remarked; "his soul would fit in a flea-track."  She spied the Bronco Kid sauntering back towards her and joined him. He leaned against the wall, watching the gossamer thread of smoke twist upward from his cigarette, seemingly oblivious to the surroundings, and showing no hint of the emotion he had displayed two hours before.
"This is a big killing, isn't it?" said the girl.
The gambler nodded, murmuring indifferently.
"Why aren't you dealing bank? Isn't this yow
shift?"

QUESTION:
How did Saturn get its name?

ANSWER from FAQ on June 11, 1999:
Nearly all ancient human cultures created names for, and stories about,
the Sun, the Moon, the planets and stars. Like so many things in
history, the naming of the planets happened by accident. The ancient
Babylonians recognized five specks of light moving across the night
skies long before the Greeks and the Romans did. They developed a belief
that these specks were the moving images of five of their most important
gods. Not surprisingly, they named the moving lights after these gods.
When the Greeks (probably the Pythagoreans, in the fifth century BC)
came into contact with the Babylonian skylore, they assigned to the
same five moving lights the names of those Greek gods who seemed to
correspond to the appropriate Babylonian deities most closely. Thus we
got the Greek names of the five planets Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares, Zeus,
and Kronos. In due course (perhaps in the second century BC) the Romans
became acquainted with the Greek astronomy and the Greek planetary
names. As must have been natural, the Romans rendered the Greek names to
fit their own gods. This is how we obtained Mercury, Venus, Mars,
Jupiter, and Saturn, the names we still use two thousand years later.

is not necessary to add to this scourge the scandalous
spectacle of European morals, the cupidity and ambition
of Christian nations."
Mark what a bishop writes to the Propaganda, in 1819,
after a visit to the Angola Mission : 
" Mam aspexi, mcerorem concepi, lacrymas effudi, quia
omnia, si fas est dicere, sine duce, sine luce, sine cruce
inveni. Omnia desunt ; desunt sacerdoces, ob defectum
illos instruendi, et qui existunt sunt omnino ignari; de-
sunt ecclesice, quia omnes vel dirutse sunt, vel quasi
dirntse apparent.    Religio "est pene extincta." *
While Christianity has become extinct, Islamism has been
rekindled. Africa had white races ; they have received
from Europe the Islamism which sterilizes them : Africa
had black races ; they have received from Europe the slave-
trade which devotes them to war and brutishness. By an
odious exchange between the inhabitants of the two con-
tinents, they give us diseases, we carry them vices, and
Africa has unceasingly received from Europe the abhor-
rence of all that could civilize it,  religion, labor, com-
merce, contact with the white race.
Ah I if we could do it no good, at least why do it so
much harm ? 
But is it true that the good is impossible?
Thank Heaven, the dawn of better days seems breaking.
Wherever, indeed, any serious attempt has been essayed,
it has succeeded.
On looking at the map, which we should always have
before our eyes in all these questions, for God himself has
drawn the map of the world, we cannot help foreseeing
that, if a new division of the earth among the children of
Christ is drawing near, like the ancient division among the
* " I have seen, I have groaned, I have wept, finding everything almost with-
out light, without faith, without the cross. Everything is lacking,  priests,
because they cannot be instructed, and those who exist are wholly ignorant;
churches, destroyed or in ruins.    Religion is wellnigh extinct.*'

IMPORT BEEF TRADE

Compared to Last Week:  Import boneless beef prices are firm to higher
on moderate trading.  A higher domestic lean boneless beef and sharply
lower beef trimmings caused grinders to look for more imported frozen
product. However, offerings from overseas continued to be limited at
higher asking prices causing out-front trading to be slow.  Furthermore,
prices on Uruguay products are moving at the same levels as Australia
and New Zealand products because some traders are having to cover
shorts.  Peeled Knuckels at 159.50; Cap-off insides 193.00.

QUESTION:

I would appreciate any information on how to apply for an Internship or
Job with your team.  

ANSWER from Duncan Atchison on February 5, 1998:

Probably the best way is to write directly to the division or branch that
you would like to work in.  Ames is NASA's Center for Excellence in
Information Systems.  Check out our website here at Ames, and then look
through the various organizational elements and figure out which one
interests you most, the URL is:  http://www.arc.nasa.gov/ Also be sure and
check out all of the contractors supporting any given NASA effort, because
something like 90 cents out of the dollar goes to contractors (like
Lockheed Martin, whom I'm employed by.)

1993.11.29 :  Paternity Establishment Rules

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE              Contact:  David Siegel
Monday, Nov. 29, 1993                        (202) 401-9215

More than one million children are born each year to unwed
mothers.  Many will never have legal paternity established nor
receive child support.  Under proposed regulations issued today by
HHS Secretary Donna E. Shalala, a father will be able to
acknowledge the paternity of his child born out-of-wedlock by a
simple process at the time of birth.

"Far too many children are denied support by their fathers because
legal paternity has not been established," Secretary Shalala said. 
"Our proposed rules seek to meet the president's goal of enabling
states to establish paternity early and accurately."

The proposed rules implement provisions of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993, including those that provide for
paternity acknowledgment in the hospital or at other times outside
of hospitals.  States must include due process safeguards and an
explanation of the rights and responsibilities of acknowledging
paternity.  States must also ensure that voluntary paternity
acknowledgment is a basis for seeking a child support obligation.

While some states have paternity acknowledgment programs in
selected hospitals or use expedited legal decision-making
processes in contested paternity cases, the new requirements will
build on these effective practices and make them applicable across
the country.  The federal government already pays much of state 
administrative costs for support enforcement services, including
90 percent of laboratory testing costs related to paternity
establishment.  The act also requires states to adopt a variety of
procedures to streamline the process in cases where the alleged
father is unwilling to acknowledge paternity voluntarily.  The
goal is to establish more paternities in less time without
infringing on the rights of any party to the paternity action.

"We all pay the price when a parent abandons his child, but the
child suffers most of all," said HHS' Assistant Secretary for
Children and Families Mary Jo Bane.  "Establishing paternity is
critical to ensuring children get the financial support they need
and deserve from both parents."

When paternity is established, the child obtains the right of
inheritance from both parents as well as other benefits such as
Social Security, medical and life insurance.  Establishing
paternity can also help to provide information regarding inherited
medical conditions and other hereditary factors.  Paternity is
also the first step in obtaining a child support order, which
would ensure financial support.

Written comments on the proposed regulations, which are published
in today's Federal Register, must be received within 60 days. 
Comments should be sent to: Director, Office of Child Support
Enforcement, Administration for Children and Families, 370

    Re: File No. S7-28-98
        Regulation of Takeovers and Security Holder Communications
     
Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
     
     We are pleased to submit the following comment on the Commission's proposed
changes to the Regulation of Takeovers and Security Holder Communications, in 
particular the subsection entitled "II.B.6 Free Communications Under the Proxy 
Rules."
     
     We frequently represent substantial non-management stockholders who seek to
improve corporate governance through the use of the proxy rules and so we 
generally applaud the Proposals' efforts to continue the liberalizing reforms 
begun in 1992.  Shareholder communications should be made easier, not harder. 
We are shocked and dismayed, however, to see in Footnote No. 98 that the 
Commission is considering abolishing the "ten person" exemption in current Rule
14a-2(b)(2).  The Rule has been in place at least since the mid-1940s.  Nearly a
half century ago the writers of the first (and in its third edition still 
definitive) full-length text on proxy contests wrote that this exemption plays a
critical role in facilitating the "initial steps" that an insurgent must take in
considering or commencing a contest.  E. Aranow & H. Einhorn, Proxy Contests for
Corporate Control 96-97 (1st ed. 1957) (see also 3d ed. at Section 5.03(D)). 
The Commission has not looked backward since and should not start doing so now.
     
     Thank you for your consideration.
     
                             Very truly yours,

NASA, NOAA & LOCKHEED MARTIN INVESTIGATE SATELLITE ACCIDENT
On September 6, while performing work on the NOAA-N Prime spacecraft,
being prepared to launch in 2008 for the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the satellite was dropped.
Lockheed Martin, the contractor in charge of the construction and test
of the satellite in Sunnyvale, Calif., NASA and NOAA formed teams to
investigate the accident and assess impact. The 14-foot spacecraft
was about three feet off the ground in an upright stance, when it
slipped from a fixture, as it was being turned from a vertical to
horizontal position.
"NASA and NOAA are understandably concerned about this accident,
because the NOAA-N Prime spacecraft is vital to the continuity of the
polar-orbiting environmental satellite program. We are waiting for an
assessment of the damage from the investigation teams. We will have a
better idea of the extent of the impact on our satellite programs
when the results are available," said retired Navy Vice Admiral
Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D, undersecretary of commerce for oceans
and atmosphere and NOAA administrator.
NOAA's Satellite and Information Service operates two polar-orbiting
operational environmental satellites (POES), which are critical in
monitoring weather and climate.
NOAA-N Prime is under guard, and Lockheed Martin and NASA have secured
all records.
NASA develops the POES for NOAA on a reimbursable basis. NASA's
Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md, performs program
management for the development of the satellites.

is remarkable that, as the greateft part of the trees and

they were generally of the berry-bearing kind ; of which,

in getting extricated. As the laws are so very favorable,
he takes the advantage of the three-fourth act, by which
means he is soon enabled to retire from the limits with a
large fortune,-a fortune, which the laws of his country
have put in his power, by defrauding the British mer-
chants and manufacturers. This, Sir is the most com-
mon and readiest way of making a fortune in America,
of which many hundreds have availed themselves, and
which they deem meritorious.
There is another source of vexation which I wish to
point out, in order that it may be clearly understood.
The American captains encourage, as much as they pos-
sibly can, the desertion of the British seamen. When
they get here, they can at any time be made citizens for
the value of a dollar each, which is given to a person,
who makes oath that they, or any of them, were born in
the United States: upon this the collector of the customs
