where the dry fish is hung up, the cows knocked it down and trampled on it, while their new masters did not know how to milk them. The hogs committed depredations in the garden patches, and annoyed the women by their grunting and squealing. The summer residences of the Aleuts consisted chiefly of tents, and the goats appeared to take pleasure in jumping upon and knocking down these tents in the night, to the great discomfort of the sleeping family ; so they were very soon tired of them, and glad to get rid of them. In Cook's Inlet the natives were more intelligent, or had more experience, and their cattle did much better. Hogs were placed on a low island near the Churnobour Reef, in 1825, and multiplied exceedingly, living on the wild parsnips and other native plants ; but they were destroyed by a tidal wave which swept over the island during the eruption of the volcano on the neighboring island of Unimak, two years after.
The Sitkan District.  This district extends from the southern boundary, including the mainland and islands, to the peninsula of Aliaska, and also Kadiak and the adjacent islands.
The surface of this part of the territory is rugged and mountainous in the extreme. The northern part alone furnishes any appreciable amount of arable land, level and suitable for cultivation. Small patches occur in the southern part here and there, where small farms might be located ; but as a rule the mountains descend precipitously into the sea with their flanks covered with dense and almost impenetrable forests. These rise to an altitude of about fifteen hundred feet above the sea. Here and there a white streak shows where an avalanche has cut its way from the mountain-top, through the forest, to the water-side ; and occasion-ally the shining front of a glacier occupies some deep ravine, contrasting curiously with the dense foliage on either side.
The canals and channels of the Alexander Archipelago form the highways of the country, and so intricate and tortuous are they that they afford access to almost every part of it without the necessity for setting foot on shore.
The soil is principally vegetable mould, with substrata of gravel or dark-colored clay. The soil of Cook's Inlet and Kadiak is of a similar character ; but, from an admixture of volcanic sand thrown up by the waves, and abundant sandstone strata, it is lighter, drier, and better adapted for cultivation.

Colleagues;

The Spring meeting of the US CMS collaboration will take place at the
University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida on Friday the 17th of April and
Saturday the 18th of 
April. (Although it was appropriate to have the meeting on the anniversary of
Paul Rever's ride -- Boston was out because of the marathon that week-end.)
Please mark
your calendars and make preparations. There will be further information on the web
at uscms.fnal.gov. (or e-mail me)

The US CMS executive committee will meet on Friday, and the Collaboration
Board will meet on Saturday (adjourn at 1630). Among the subjects are the
latest on the scoping saga and the shifting sands of planning. 

Of course there is the possibility of using the conincidence of attendance to
hold component meetings. The leaders of the components should contact Darrin
Acost at Florida directly to arragne for rooms etc.

Hope to see you all there. Again... further information will be on the web as
it becomes available.

best regards,

Don

WHY SHOULD WE BE CONCERNED
ABOUT THE LOSS OF SPECIES?
Extinction isa naturai process that has been occurring since long before
the existence of man. Normally, new species develop. through a process
known as speciation, at about the same rate that other species become 
extinct. However, because of air and water pollution, forest clearing, loss
of wetlands, and other man-induced environmental changes extinctions 
are now occurring at a rate that far exceeds the speciation rate II
extinction diminishes the diversity and complexity of life on e earth The
loss of a single species may result in few environmental repercussions 
however, all life on earth is interconnected. If enough "living 
connections are broken, whole ecosystems could fail the balance of
nature could be forever altered, and our own survival could be
jeopardized. Furthermore, the diversity of animal and plant life 
us with food and many of our life-saving medicines. When a species is
lost, the benefits it might have provided are gone forever.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP?
Toxic chemicals have killed aquatic life in many of our nation's rivers
Because the spotfin chub now exists in only short river reaches,
populations of this species could be easily lost to pollutants. Remember, 
whatever we put on the land may eventually enter our rivers Be carful 
with the use and disposal of pesticides and fertilizers used motor oil and
other chemicals, especially near any creek, no matter how small. 

Siltation is another major problem for aquatic life. Silt can	I
eggs and young of spotfin chubs, and silt can reduce the number and
diversity of aquatic insects that the fish depends upon for food. A wide
buffer strip of natural vegetation along waterways could help filter out silt
from disturbed lands. Livestock and their waste cause pollution and 
should be kept out of waterways and away from stream banks.
Be concerned with the quality of the Tennessee River and its tributaries
Watch for fish kills, illegal dumping of waste, unusual water color
smell, and other changes in the rivers condition. Report such events to
your State conservation agency.

Rivers and streams and the plant and animal life that inhabit them are 
now dependent on us for survival. These
natural places, with their diversity of life,
can benefit from and be enjoyed by all
of us; with our help, they can be
there for future generations.

Dear U.S.  TTB,

I want nutritional information on alcohol bottles.

There is no way Americans can make educated decisions without standard information readily available. For instance, there is no benchmark serving size for alcoholic beverages like there are for other packaged goods. There is no rule applying to all types of alcoholic beverages that govern the display of alcohol content. These stipulations and others make it harder for consumers to make responsible decisions concerning alcohol consumption.

I am writing to request a change in these regulations so that information, including the amount of alcohol per serving, can be supplied on bottles. Basic product facts and content are required to be printed on the packaging of all other beverages.
I believe it is only fair to allow it to appear on alcohol beverage packaging as well. 

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

I need to have an independent monitoring system from Wal-Mart so
that there is no, even appearance, of impropriety.  I'm willing
to pay for that.  I've been tempted to rush into a decision so
that when someone asks me "Is your organization in place," I can
say "Oh yeah, oh yeah."  I know that we have been a national
model, unfortunately, for what's wrong in the system.  I know
that what I would love to see happen is to become a national
model for what is right, and the right way to do it, and that is
going to take time.  It is taking more time than we thought
because I had no idea that the problems were as pervasive.

That scared all four the girls case he did whoop her which he seldom done. She say when Master Ben ccme they stood by the door in a  joining roam. Ma say tore God oie miss tole him. Master Ben sont em out to pick up apples. He had a pie a piece cooked x~erb day and ~ pan of hot biscuits and brown gravy, tole  em to fill up. 11e tole em he knowed they got tired of corn batter cakes, milk and molasses but it was best he had to give them till the War was done.

	Ma said her job got to be milking, raising and feeding the fowls, chickens, ducks, geese, g~iineas, and turkeys all. The Yankees discouraged her. They coins so many times till they cleaned em out she said.

	/	What they done to shut up polly a mouf was sure funny. He kept on next morning saying, ~ Liza shut nie up  Liza shut me u Liza pulled up her dress and underskirt and walked baekards, bent down at him. He got scared. He screamed and then he hollered Ball~head and no eyes all that day.

	Ma said they had corn shuckings and corn shellings arid bnish burnings. Had music and square dancing plenty times.

	When they got tree they didnt know what it was nor ~hat in the world to do with it. What they said minds me of folks now what got education. Seems like they dont know what to do nor where to put it.

	Pa said the nigger men run off to get a re8t. Theyd take to the woods and canebrakes. Once tour of the best nigger fellars on their masters place took to the woods for to git a little rest.

the society (fig. 74). The strongest winds in which I practised
had a velocity which I estimated at between 15 and 16 miles
per hour. By running I obtained an additional velocity of 7
miles an hour, making the total relative velocity 23 miles an
hour, which was required for soaring. Under these circum-
stances the first part of myflight was almost horizontal, and
the alighting was always a gentle one. . . . Each apparatus
had a vertical and horizontal tail, without which it is imprac-
ticable to practice in the wind. In conclusion, I will remark
that sailing flight near the earth's surface must be much more
difficult than at greater heights, where the wind blows more
regularly, while every irregularity of the ground at lower levels
starts whirls in the air.
In the opinion of the writer of these lines Herr Lilienthal
has attacked the most difficult, and perhaps the most im-
portant, of the many problems which must be solved before
success can be hoped for in navigating the air with flying
machines. He has engaged in the effort to work out the
maintenance of equilibrium in flight, and to learn the
science of the bird. He has made a good beginning, and
seems to be in a fair way to accomplish some success in
riding on the wind.
We have already seen that this has been tried before, and
that (to say nothing of ancient myths) J. B. Dante, Paul
Guidotti, Francisco Orujo, and Captain Le Bris, all met
with partial success in soaring. Singularly enough all four
met also with the same accidenti.e., a broken leg, in con-
sequence of the loss of equipoise. Herr Lilienthal has
greater chances of success, not only because he seems to
have set about his experiments only after thorough investi-
gation and consideration, but also because mechanical
knowledge as well as constructive methods and workman-
ship have greatly improved since even Le Bris's time. Be-
sides this, we have the gliding exploit of M. Mouillard,
whose experiment has already been related, and that of
M. Ader, which is yet to be mentioned.
Most of the capable inventors who have undertaken to
solve the problem of flight have first concerned themselves
with the question of motive power, and we shall see here-
after that very great progress has been achieved in this
direction since 1890; but no amount of motive power will
avail unless the apparatus to which it is applied is stable in
the airunless it,can rise, sail, and come down again with-
out danger of losing its equipoise. As has already been
said, safety is the first requisite, and until this is assured,
all the other elements of success will be unavailable.

RE:  SR-NASD-98-21
     
Dear Mr. Katz:
     
I am a public investor and would like to inform the SEC of some of the 
things I have noticed in my daily trading that affect my ability to 
trade and reduce liquidity in the marketplace.    The Market Makers are 
manipulating the market in the stocks that have a 100-share minimum 
quote in a couple of manners:
     
1)  when the market in one of these stocks experiences pressure on 
either side of the market, the Market-maker's disappear behind a 100 
share quote at the top of the market;
     
2)  they also use a 100 share ECN quote to block movement in a stock and 
avoid making a market at their quoted price.
     
I understand that you are considering extending the minimum quote rule 
to the securities currently on the pilot program as well as others in 
the NASDAQ.  This wills only reduce liquidity and widen the effective 
spreads on the stocks because of the above-described manipulation that 
all ready occurs.  I would ask that you strongly consider keeping the 
minimum quotes on all stocks in the NASDAQ at 1000 shares.
     
Thank you for considering this request.  It will only continue to keep 
everyone honest and make the marketplace fair for everyone to trade. 
     
     
     
Sincerely,

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

Dear FDA,
 
I am outraged by your new policies on genetically 
engineered (GE) foods. Despite overwhelming consumer 
demand, your agency still fails to require safety testing and 
mandatory labeling for GE foods. Your "notification" policy is 
an insult to consumers, and irresponsibly ignores strong 
scientific evidence of numerous potential health and 
environmental risks to GE foods. You should be aware that 
these foods could be toxic, could cause allergic responses, 
could have lower nutrition value, could compromise 
immune responses in consumers, and could cause 
irreparable damage to the environment. 

I am also greatly opposed to your new "voluntary labeling" 
policy, which denies consumers a basic right to know. 
Without mandatory labeling, neither consumers nor health 
professionals will know if an allergic or toxic reaction was 
the result of a genetically engineered food. Consumers will 
also be deprived of the critical knowledge they need to hold 
food producers liable should any of these novel foods prove 
hazardous.

Your proposed rules ignore serious concerns, and appear 
to be a decision made to convenience industry at the 
expense of public health and the environment. I will not 
accept your attempt to make me a guinea pig of these 
untested foods, and I trust you will take my concern along 
with the thousands of others into serious consideration.

Sincerely,  Alison Philbin

LANDING THE GRIZLY BEARS.
"Well, to make short," said I, " here, take this sixpence for
your cart, and be off." I was thus brief, for I saw two or
three others edging and siding up in the passage towards
me, whom I recollected to have seen escorting my lug-
gage, and I retreated into the coffee-room as suddenly
as possible, and stated the case to one of the waiters, who
promised to manage the rest of the affair.
I was thus very comfortable for the night, having no
further annoyance or real excitement until the next morn-
ing after breakfast, when it became necessary to disembark
the grizly bears. My other heavy freight had gone to Her
Majesty's Custom-house, and all the passengers from the
cabin and steerage had gone to comfortable quarters, leav-
ing the two deck passengers, the grizlies, in great im-
patience, and as yet undisposed of. My man Daniel had
been on the move at an early hour, and had fortunately
made an arrangement with a simple and unsuspecting old lady
in the absence of her " good man," to allow the cage to be
placed in a small yard adjoining her house, and within the same
inclosure, which had a substantial pavement of round stones.
This arrangement for a few days promised to be an ad-
vantageous one for each party. Daniel was to have free
access and egress for the purpose of giving them their food,
and the price proposed to the good woman was met as a
liberal reward for the reception of any living beings that
she could imagine, however large, that could come within
her idea of the dimensions of a cage. Daniel had told her
that they were two huge bears ; and in his reply to in-
quiries, assured her that they were not harmless by any
means, but that the enormous strength of their cage pre-
vented them from doing any mischief.
The kind old lady agreed, for so much per day, to allow
the cage to stand in her yard, by the side of her house, at
least until her husband returned. With much excitement
and some growling about the docks and the wharf, they
were swung off from the vessel, and, being placed on a
" float," were conveyed to, and quietly lodged and fed in,

RELEASE: 07_11AR

NASA STUDIES TRUE COLORS OF EVERGREEN RAINFORESTS

NASA satellites reveal that Amazon forests are neither evergreen nor 
dependent on constant rain, and are capable of manufacturing their 
seasons.

Researchers report a 25 percent increase in the amount of green leaf 
area during the dry season when the skies are relatively clear. They 
found that the rain forests are more dependent on light than rain, 
enduring several months of dry season by tapping water deep in the 
soil with their long roots. The results of this NASA-funded research 
will appear in the March 20 issue of the Proceedings of the National 
Academy of Sciences.

“Our finding is similar to the discovery of a large green continent, 
nearly a third the size of South America, appearing and disappearing 
each year,” explained Ranga Myneni, professor of geography and 
environment at Boston University, the lead author of this study. 
"This has very important consequences for weather, atmospheric 
carbon, water and nutrient cycling, given that leaves are the air 
purifiers and food factories of our planet," Myneni added.

The Amazon rain forest covers an area equivalent to more than half of 
the continental United States and is home to more than one-third of 
all living species on Earth. 

Scientists used satellite images to study the amount and dynamics of 
green leaf area of Amazon rain forests. This study was made possible 
by more than five years of daily estimates of leaf area over the 
entire Amazon basin at one- kilometer resolution with the Moderate 
Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the NASA Terra satellite, 
by a team of 27 individuals from 15 different institutions.

The researchers report that the rain forests sprout new leaves in 
anticipation of the coming dry season. The greener forests capture 
more sunlight, absorb more carbon dioxide and evaporate more water 
during the dry season compared to the wet season, according to 
scientists. By gradually humidifying the atmosphere, the forests play 
an integral role in the onset of the wet season, scientists observed.

"This work is an important outcome of over 10 years of NASA’s 
investments and teamwork to develop, build and launch state-of-the 
art sensors and processing algorithms enabling the discovery of 
hitherto unknown vegetation dynamics on Earth, added Rama Nemani, a 
co-author of the paper at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, 
Calif.

This work was made possible through funding by NASA as part of a 
long-term research program dedicated to understanding how 
human-induced and natural changes affect our global environment.

GFP-like proteins: a perfect model to study evolution of protein families.

Homologs of the Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) synthesize their chromophores autocatalytically from their own residues, which takes two or three consecutive reactions. The diversity of colors and chromophore structures within this protein family reflects a number of processes that are of key interest for the basic studies in protein evolution, such as origin of new functions after gene duplication, convergent evolution, evolution of complex phenotypes and reverse evolution.  The proteins can be easily modified by mutagenesis and expressed in bacteria, while their function  - fluorescence - in such experiments can be quantified without even picking the bacterial colonies from the plate. The predictions of in silico evolutionary analysis can therefore be easily verified experimentally, providing unique opportunity to merge dry and wet science.

A LITTLE TOUR IN FRANCE.
From below, the castle would look crushed by
the redundancy of its upper protuberances if it were
not for the enormous girth of its round towers, which
appear to give it a robust lateral development. These
towers, however, fine as they are in their way, struck
me as a little stupid; they are the exaggeration of
an exaggeration. In a building erected after the days
of defence, and proclaiming its peaceful character from
its hundred embroideries and cupolas, they seem
to indicate a want of invention. I shall risk the ac-
cusation of bad taste if I say that, impressive as it is,
the Chteau de Chambord seemed to me to have al-
together a little of that quality of stupidity. The
trouble is that it represents nothing very particular;
it has not happened, in spite of sundry vicissitudes,
to have a very interesting history. Compared with
that of Blois and Amboise, its past is rather vacant;
and one feels to a certain extent the contrast between
its pompous appearance and its spacious but some-
what colorless annals. It had indeed the good for-
tune to be erected by Francis I, whose name by itself
expresses a good deal of history. Why he should
have built a palace in those sandy plains will ever
remain an unanswered question, for kings have never
been obliged to give reasons. In addition to the fact
that the country was rich in game and that Francis
was a passionate hunter, it is suggested by M. de la
Saussaye, the author of the very complete little history
of Chambord which you may buy at the bookseller's
at Blois, that he was governed in his choice of the

SUBJECT: Definition of Local Market Price in the Dry Pea Crop Provisions

BACKGROUND:

The final rule for the 1998 dry pea regulations published in the Federal
Register on December 16, 1997, contained an error in the definition of
"Local Market Price."  The definition referenced the cash price per
pound for the U.S. No. 2 grade of dry peas and should have referenced
the cash price per pound for the U.S. No. 1 grade.  Dry pea production
grading U.S. No. 2 or worse is eligible for quality adjustment.  The
local market price is used in adjusting the production to meet the dry
pea grade standard of U.S. No. 1.  Based on the incorrect definition of
"Local Market Price" in the 1998 dry pea regulations, there would not be
any quality adjustment for dry pea production grading U.S. No. 2 or
worse.

ACTION:

For the 1998 crop year, the cash price per pound for the U.S. No. 1
grade will be used for dry peas and lentils that qualify for quality
adjustment.  The 1998 Dry Pea Crop Handbook provides procedures for
determining quality adjustment for dry peas and lentils.

A technical correction for the dry pea regulations to correct this error
will be effective for the 1999 crop year.  Upon publication of the
correction in the Federal Register, new Dry Pea Crop Provisions for the
1999 crop year will be issued.

to avoid additives that are included under the "natural flavors" umbrella. I
realize many others need to know what ingredients are in their food for
religious, cultural, and health reasons, and so i support the petition to
get rid of the phrase "natural ingredients" on food labels, docket 99P-5106.

Thanks for your attention.

Sincerely,
Christian MacAuley
