and villages they did not live a sedentary life altogether, for much of the time they devoted to the chase, fishing, and hunting game almost the whole year round. They were acquainted with wild rice, and hunted the buffalo; they did not get into possession of the horse very much earlier than after the Black Hawk War in 1832. . . Their abode was the bark house in warm weather, and the oval flag-reed lodge in winter; the bark house was characteristic of the village. Every gens had one large bark house wherein were celebrated the festivals of the gens. In this lodge hung the sacred bundles of the gens, and here dwelt the priests that watched over their keeping. It is said that some of these lodges were the length of five fires. The ordinary bark dwelling had but a single fire, which was at the center."
"In the days when the tribe was much larger there were numerous gentes. It may be that as many as fourteen gentes are yet in existence. These are: Trout, Sturgeon, Bass, Great Lynx or Water monster, Sea, Fox, Wolf, Bear, Bear-Potato, Elk, Swan, Grouse, Eagle, and Thunder. It seems that at one time there was a more rigid order of rank both socially and politically than at present For example, chiefs came from the Trout and Sturgeon gentes, and war chiefs from the Fox gens; and there were certain relationships of courtesy between one gens and another, as when one acted the role of servants to another, seen especially on the occasion of a gens ceremony."
These were two great social groups: Klshko" and Oshkasha. "A person entered into a group at birth, sometimes the father, sometimes the mother determining the group into which the child was to enter. The division was for emulation in all manner of contests, especially in athletics. The Sauk never developed a soldier society with the same degree of success as did the Foxes, but they did have a buffalo society; it is said that the first was due to contact with the Sioux, and it is reasonable to suppose that the second was due to influence also from the plains. There was a chief and a council. The chiefs came from the Trout and Sturgeon gentes, and the council was an assembly of all the warriors. Politically the chief was nothing more than figurehead, but socially he occupied first place in the tribe. Furthermore, his person was held sacred, and for that reason he was given royal homage."  William Jones, in Handbook Atner. Indians.
The sixth in Forsyth's list of Fox clans is called by Morgan Na-ni-ma-kew-uk (Ancient Society, 170). He also mentions the buffalo clan, Na-nus-sus-so-uk, as among the Sauk and Foxes. Ed.

To Whom It May Concern:

     I'm writing in regards to the statement of what it means to say "Made in U.S.A.".  I
believe we should stay with high standards of manufacturing, with a joint effort of labor,
unionized or not, and company in the stamping of this title in a visible place that is durable, not in
the use of stickers or labels, which should be prohibited, these wear off after the first use usually. 
Stamp on the product, as well as marked on the box or container shipped within.

     No other types of statements should be used like Made in America, Assembled in U.S.A.
or Assembled in America.  These statements tend to make me disbelieve in the product.  Keep to
only one title.

     To qualify for this statement in standards, you need to know that the raw materials were
used from the U.S.A., and manufactured in the U.S.A., with these monies being redistributed in
the U.S.A. to keep economic growth.

     Raw materials may be imported when availability is not here and in the subject of cost,
may encourage new suppliers in the U.S.A. to get started at a competitive advantage, which also
promotes growth.

     I have shopped "Made in U.S.A." and believe my dollar is a best cost when doing so in
value and quality, which comes from the high productivity of this total work force.

     If we don't watch our dollar, we will be as extinct as some animals in this world, on our
economic society for the future that we bestow on our children.

Yours truly,
Edward D. Dzurko

Q. Now, permit me to call your attention at the outset to one matter
ne of the letters that you wrote is dated March 6, 1882. Will you be
kind enough to refer to your data or memoranda and say if you have
that letter in your mind fA. I have no memoranda of the interviews at all.
Q. But do you remember having written a letter at that time I_A. Yes, sir.
Q. Do you remember that in that letter you made a statement as coming from Lieutenant Danenhower as follows:
It seems certain that the whale-boat really reached the Lena proper, and had the course been pursued a day longer Bulnn would have been reached a month or six weeks earlier and in all probability Noros and Nindemann met and the captain's party saved.
A. I have no doubt if that is written there it was taken down correctly.
Q. (Submitting extract from the Herald.) Look at that and see if you recognize the type IA. It is nonpariel.
Q. Of what paper?A. The New York Herald.
Q. And that letter is dated Irkutsk, March 6, 1882. Do you remember that letter fA. Yes, sir.
Q. Now, I ask you, as matter of fact, what did Lieutenant Danen-
hower state to you on that subject 1A. Those would be the exact words that he said to me, taken down from his mouth.
Q. Lieutenant Danenhower denies that he made use of those words or that statement.A. There can be no question of the truthfulness of
the report, because the words were taken down verbatim as I heard them.
Q. In long-hand IA. In long-hand. I hadn't time to take them in short-hand notes and rewrite them.
Q. Now, in point of fact, were these interviews or communications read to him after they were taken down	Yes, sir.
Q. And for what purpose, if you please IA. For any corrections or additions.
Q. For any corrections, additions, or alterations ?A. Yes, sir.
Q. Now, I will leave that particular matter for the present. In the first place, Mr. Jackson, I would like to ask you what information, if
any, you derived from any source, and remember that you can only speak of the information given you by members of the expedition or
the natives of the country, in reference to any papers that Mr. Collins had left.
The WITNESS. The papers that were found upon his body, do you mean I
Mr. CURTIS. Yes; as to whether they were all the papers that he
possessed IA. I heard from various sources that he had papers on his body during the retreat on the ice. There were some found on his body and some note-books.
Q. What I desire more particularly to call your attention to is this:
What recollection have you now as to any information given you by any of the survivors of the expedition or natives of the country rela-
tive to papers possessed by Collins not found on his body IA. I had information that
Mr. ARNOUX (interposing). I submit that he state the source of the information.
Mr. CURTIS. I say not outside of the survivors.
The CHAIRMAN. He can state from whom he obtained his information.

NEWSReport No. MM-858              MASS MEDIA ACTION                          November 3, 1994

      FCC RESPONDS TO COURT JUDGMENT IN LELAND, NC, FM PROCEEDING 
 
     In response to a Judgment of a federal appellate court, the Commission has explained
its reasons for dismissing and returning as unacceptable for filing the application of Leland
Broadcasting Group, Inc., for a new FM station at Leland, NC. 

     The Judgment was entered by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit. 

     The Commission had dismissed Leland's application under the "hard look" processing
standards, which required that such applications be letter perfect when filed.  The application
was deficient because it lacked a transmitter site map in the required form.

     Leland sought judicial relief, contending that despite the omission of the proper site
map, the Commission could have determined the proposed transmitter location from other
information in its application.  Thus argued Leland, the application should not have been
returned.   

     The court ordered the Commission to explain why the transmitter location could not
have been verified using information in Leland's application.

     The Commission explained that Leland's proposed site could, in fact, be verified
using information in the application.  However, because Leland omitted the required
information which allows the staff to verify both expeditiously and accurately the coordinates
of its site, the staff properly dismissed the application as not sufficiently complete.  The
Commission noted that if the staff, as a matter of policy, were required to follow a complex,
multi-step process, such as proposed by Leland, to deduce the information, reliability would
be diminished and the processing burden, as well as the burden on other interested parties, 
would be significantly increased. 

     Action by the Commission October 28, 1994, by Memorandum Opinion and Order
(FCC 94-278).  Chairman Hundt, Commissioners Quello, Barrett, Ness and Chong.

 Federal  Communications  Commission  FCC  04-  144 
 DISSENTING  STATEMENT  OF  COMMISSIONER  KATHLEEN  Q.  ABERNATHY 


 Re:  TMI  Communications  Company,  Limited  Partnership  and  TerreStar  Networks,  Inc.  Application  for  Review  and  Request  for  Stay. 
 One  of  my  core  principles,  and  one  that  I  believe  is  essential  in  order  for  effective  regulation,  is  that  the  FCC  aggressively  enforce  its  rules.  Failure  to  enforce  rules  sends  the  inappropriate  signal 
 that  licensees  may  engage  in  unlawful  conduct  with  impunity.  And,  in  the  case  of  satellite  milestones,  failure  to  enforce  our  requirements  results  in  spectrum  laying  fallow  and  inefficient 
 utilization  of  the  orbital  resource. 
 In  the  current  case,  the  majority  finds  that  TMI  Communications  Company  (TMI)  should  be  granted  a  waiver  of  the  first  milestone  requirement  of  its  license.  Under  this  milestone,  TMI  was 
 required  to  execute  within  one  year  a  non-  contingent  satellite  manufacturing  contract.  While  the  majority  concedes  that  TMI  did  not  meet  this  milestone,  it  nonetheless  grants  a  retroactive  waiver 
 of  the  requirement  and  concludes  that  the  underlying  purposes  of  the  milestone  will  not  be  disserved  by  providing  such  relief. 


 This  is  simply  not  true.  While  I  have  sympathy  for  TMI  in  this  proceeding,  I  think  it  is  mistaken  to  undermine  the  Commissions  policy  of  strict  milestone  enforcement  by  granting  a  waiver.  To 
 turn  compliance  into  a  subjective  evaluation  undermines  the  very  basis  of  this  policy  and,  as  such,  does  not  meet  the  requirements  of  our  waiver  standard.  If  the  Commission  wishes  to  abandon  its 
 milestone  policy  it  must  do  so  via  a  rulemaking  proceeding  and  not  through  inconsistent  ad  hoc  waivers.  1 


 In  the  long  term,  I  believe  that  the  public  interest  is  best  served  by  requiring  strict  compliance  with  our  milestone  policy.  Any  approach  that  relies  on  something  less  substantially  weakens  our 
 milestone  enforcement  policy  and  enables  licensees  to  warehouse  spectrum.  It  is  for  these  reasons  that  I  dissent  from  this  order. 


 1  For  example,  in  Joint  Application  for  Review  of  Constellation  Communications 
 Holdings,  Inc.,  Mobile  Communications,  Inc.  and  ICO  Global  Communications  (Holdings)  Limited,  Memorandum  Opinion  and  Order,  FCC  No.  04-  131  (released  June  24,  2004)  (ICO 


 Decision),  the  Commission  determined  that  it  should  not  grant  a  waiver  of  its  milestone  requirement.  By  denying  a  waiver  in  the  ICO  Decision,  but  granting  one  here,  we  have  created 
 an  inconsistency  in  our  milestone  enforcement,  hence  creating  greater  ambiguity  for  licensees.

Subject: Mercury amalgam fillings

Dear Mr. Adjodha,

I believe it is time to ban mercury amalgam fillings,
especially for children and pregnant mums. Please
ensure that the FDA does its job and protects the
public from harm from this misguided practice, 
especially now that it is clear that there are safer -
and far more attractive  - fillings available. We look
to the FDA to put our children's health above the 
financial interests and liabilities of the American
Dental Association which has been totally discredited
on this practice as well as its continued unscientific
promotion of water fluoridation.

Signed,
John Chiros

LOWS FROM ANOTHER WEATHER SYSTEM CENTERED OVER THE CENTRAL
ALEUTIANS.

MOST OF THE STATE WAS SWADDLED IN CLOUDS AGAIN TODAY. SOME
BREAKS APPEARED OVER THE WEST...UNDER HIGH PRESSURE...BUT THE
HIGH ALSO HELD LOW CLOUDS AND DENSE FOG ALONG THE BERING AND
ARCTIC COASTLINES THROUGH EARLY SUNDAY MORNING. RAIN WAS WIDE-
SPREAD ACROSS SOUTHCENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA...THE COPPER
BASIN AND PARTS OF THE EASTERN INTERIOR. THE RAIN DID SERVE TO
CLEANSE THE AIR OF SMOKE FROM INTERIOR WILD FIRES. TRACE AMOUNTS

QUESTION:
Could a genetically engineered organism be introduced into the Martian
environment to trigger the reconstitution of the atmosphere with oxygen and
water so that Earth life could be sustained there?

ANSWER from Jack Farmer on October 14, 1997:
Engineering an organism that could survive in the present Martian surface
environment would be a major scientific accomplishment. The lack of liquid
water, high radiation (UV) and highly oxidizing chemical environment pose a
seemingly impassable barrier to terrestrial life. But biological systems
appear to be far more adaptable to extreme conditions than we once thought,
and we are in fact still discovering the range of life on our own planet.
Still, it is important to realize that the surface environment of Mars is
far more extreme than anything you may experience in Minnesota, or for that
matter, even more hostile climates like the Antarctic. While I do think that
each of the things mentioned above is a limiting factor for the carbon
chemistry that forms the basis for terrestrial life, what we cannot so
easily predict are the possibly numerous adaptations that might allow life
to survive under such extreme conditions by creating favorable
cellular-scale microenvironments.

The concept of terraforming has been around for a long time, and there are
in fact a number of fairly realistic (albeit expensive) scenarios for
creating a more Earth-like Martian atmosphere that could coax the Red Planet
out of its present state of deep freeze. A recent book on the subject that
can provide more information and a review of the history of the concept is
"Terraforming: Engineering Planetary Environments" by Martyn J. Fogg (1995;
ISBN 1-56091-609-5) published by (of all places) the Society of Automotive
Engineers, Inc., 400 Commonwaelth Drive, Warrendale, PA 15096-0001 (Tel

.SHORT TERM (REST OF TODAY THROUGH MONDAY)...
WITH CONDITIONS NOW STABILIZED, DROPPED MENTION OF ISOLATED SHOWERS. 
EXPECT A SURFACE INVERSION MONDAY MORNING WITH LOW TEMPERATURES IN 
THE UPPER 50S, WHICH WILL BE CLOSE TO THE CROSSOVER VALUE USED BY 
THE UPS FOG FORECASTING TOOL. ISOLATED PATCHES OF FOG MAY DEVELOP 
NEAR THE RIVERS, BUT DID NOT FEEL THERE WOULD BE COVERAGE OF LOW 
VISIBILITY TO WARRANT INCLUSION IN THE FORECAST.

THE FOLLOWING WAS ORIGINALLY ISSUED AT 525 PM EDT SUN AUG 8 2004

SHORT TERM (REST OF TONIGHT)...
HAVE INCLUDED MENTION OF ISOLATED SHOWERS EARLY THIS EVENING PER 
LATEST RADAR AND SATELLITE DATA SHOWING ISOLATED SHOWERS AND 
MODERATE CUMULUS ACROSS THE UPPER OHIO VALLEY. PER LATEST RUC MODEL 
EXPECT CURRENT INSTABILITY TO DECREASE AFTER SUNSET.

Hi Alex,
Would you please send me a copy of your output file.
Once the number of iterations exceeds the maxiter, the 
errquit procedure is invoked by the tce module and 
you should get the error message: 
"tce_energy: maxiter exceeded".
I am assuming you are running the CCSD calculations.
In order to get better convergence you may try to use the level shifting
in the DIIS procedure.
Simply you need to add the following directive to your tce
group, for example:
lshift 0.6 
Also, changing the length of the diis cycle may lead to some 
improvements (by default diis is equal to 5).
Best regards,
Karol

Hi. When I run nwchem 5.0 on Linux-cluster and nwchem failed (for
example, convergence failed) processes on other nodes are running and
never finish. I have to kill them manually.My compilator is ifort on

To Whom It May Concern:

  It's alarming to me that mandatory safety guidelines haven't been instituted on Genetically Engineered foods.  It reminds me of experiments done in the past -- not only by German scientists on holocaust victim prisoners, but by scientists in THIS country on prisoners who had no choice.
  According to avaiable information, there has been no pre-market long-term testing to see what effects genetically engineered foods will have on the human body.
  Nor are there requirements for these genetically engineered foods to have labels so we, as consumers, can make informed decisions as to whether or not we wish to ingest such foods.
  Since the above long-term testing and required labelling fall within YOUR jurisdiction, I request that you implement these as "mandatory"!
  I don't wish to "guess" what I'm putting in my body -- I want to KNOW.  Not all people have the option of growing their own food -- we must rely on others to do it for us.  And for those of us who DO grow our own, is there any required labelling on the "seed" packets to inform whether or not we'll be growing "pure" products?
  PLEASE do your job -- it's imperative that you do.  The health, well-being and survival of ALL citizens may hang in the balance.

Very truly yours,

Dear FDA,

This message is in support of the mandatory labelling and testing of 
genetically engineered foods.  I vehemently support labelling because:

1.  Consumers should be able to choose.  I don't want to eat any 
genetically engineered foods.  I absolutely believe that we do not know 
nearly enough about nutrition and its effects to begin to "engineer" 
foods.  Modern agriculture has destroyed forests and soil while reducing 
the nutritional content of our foods (fewer vitamins and minerals).  Now it 
wants to indiscriminately subject to bio-toxins and yield enhancers which 
are great for corporate earnings but do NOTHING to improve the nutritional 
content.  We don't even know what nutrition really is yet.  We are still 
trying to discover how mother nature miraculously prevents cancer through 
some magical mix in broccoli and alleviates depression with some brew in 
St. John's Wort.  To begin to think we know any where near enough to 
manipulate our food supply, is the epitomy of arrogance and I want to be 
able to protect my family from these ill conceived efforts.  Therefore, I 
implore you to create and enforce the mandatory labelling of genetically 
engineered foods.

2.  In addition, before any man made mutation is released into the 
environment, we have to know the long term consequences of that action both 
on humans and on the environment.  How can we say we should test drugs, but 
not Frankenfoods?  Shouldn't we know if there are going to be allergic 
reactions, toxicity reactions and so on before we start feeding this stuff 
to the general population?  Of course we should.  And shouldn't we 
understand the environment consequences of these concoctions before 
introducing them?  There is already some evidence that the toxins 
introduced in these products move up the food chain.  How can we in good 
conscience risk the health of the population or our environment without 
thorough long term testing?  Its our food for gods sake.  Not some optional 
drug.  OUR FOOD.  Let's not make the same mistakes with it that we made in 
prior centuries with our air and our water.  Therefore, I implore you to 
demand complete long term health and environmental testing of any 
genetically engineered anything before it is introduced into commercial use.

Thank you,
Tim Wilson

NASA VIRTUAL NEWS BRIEFING: SUCCESS WITH NEW PLANET HUNTING TOOL
On Thursday April 15, at 1 p.m. EDT, astronomers will explain how they
used a new technique to find an extrasolar, orbiting another star,
planet during a listen-and-log-on news briefing.
Using this technique, amateur astronomers might help with follow-up
observations of future discoveries, and help confirm planets, as
small as Earth, beyond our solar system.
Briefing participants:
&ndash; Dr. Philippe Crane, Origins theme scientist, NASA
Headquarters, Washington
&ndash; Dr. Ian Bond, University of Edinburgh, Scotland
The discovery was made during a research project partly funded by
NASA, the National Science Foundation and several international
institutions.
The virtual news briefing is only for reporters. To participate
reporters must call any of the above listed contacts by noon EDT,
April 15 to get the phone number and password.

Dear All,
 
We will have  the first  Exotics group  meeting this  Friday at the regular
time.  The main  goal of  this  meeting is to  develop  the most  effective
strategy for our group for the next half-a-year or more.
 
This is an excellent time to bring  your ideas of what physics D0 should do
(or not) with our  current data set, and what are  the priority channels to
be studied  in the next  run (and  therefore  should be at  least looked at
now).
 
This is also an  excellent  opportunity for students  who started on Run II
hardware/software,    but  have not  chosen  the  analysis  topics  yet, to
understand the situation and maybe  join this group. Please, invite anybody
who might be interested.
 
See you all  on Friday! It  will be a scary  Halloween  meeting! Bring your
your  favorite  exotic  particle  costume!  (No amazing   technicolor coats
please.)
 
Greg
