! This demo will display the same plot twice: first with a standard
! latitude/longitude rectangular "projection" and again using a polar
! stereographic projection.   The demo plots are based on COADS data
! and include these features:
! 1) An SST field as a color-filled contour background
! 2) The continents in solid-filled gray at 40 minute resolution
! 3) The outline of the continents overlaid (for sharpness)
! 4) Vectors of surface wind speed overlaid in red
! 5) Contours of air temperature as an overlay
! 6) A series of CTD cast locations plotted as overlaid symbols
! South pole enhancements to the FERRET polar routines were contributed by
! FERRET user Tony Craig at NCAR - 6/94.

LANDING PRIOR TO  MAIN GEAR TOUCHDOWN

The orbiter Endeavour (OV-105) returns to Florida following a ten-day
stay in space. Mission STS-77 was scheduled to come to a close with a
touchdown on Runway 33 of KSC's Shuttle Landing Facility at 7:09
a.m. EDT, May 29, on the first landing opportunity of the day.  On
board Endeavour for Mission STS-77 are Commander John H. Casper; Pilot
Curtis L. Brown Jr.; and Mission Specialists Andrew S. W. Thomas,
Daniel W. Bursch, Mario Runco Jr. and Marc Garneau, who represents the
Canadian Space Agency.  Among the payloads the crew worked with were
the SPACEHAB-4 module; the Spartan 207 deployable carrier which held
the Inflatable Antenna Experiment (IAE) that was deployed during the
flight; and the Technology Experiments for Advancing Missions in Space
(TEAMS).

LANDING -- DURING MAIN GEAR TOUCHDOWN AND LATER

The orbiter Endeavour (OV-105) returns to Florida following a ten-day
stay in space.  Main gear touchdown on Runway 33 of KSC's Shuttle
Landing Facility occurred at 7:09:18 a.m. EDT, May 29. On board
Endeavour for Mission STS-77 are Commander John H. Casper; Pilot
Curtis L. Brown Jr.; and Mission Specialists Andrew S. W. Thomas,
Daniel W. Bursch, Mario Runco Jr. and Marc Garneau, who represents the
Canadian Space Agency.  Among the payloads the crew worked with were
the SPACEHAB-4 module, filled with a variety of microgravity research
experiments; the Spartan 207 deployable carrier which held the
Inflatable Antenna Experiment (IAE) that was deployed during the
flight; and the Technology Experiments for Advancing Missions in Space
(TEAMS), a suite of four experiments.  The highly successful mission
marks Endeavour's last flight in space for some time to come.  The
orbiter is slated to undergo an Orbiter Maintenance Down Period
(OMDP), during which regularly scheduled checkouts and maintenance
will be performed as well as modifications to prepare OV-105 for its
upcoming role in on-orbit assembly of the International Space Station.
Endeavour's next mission is STS-88 in December 1997, the first launch
of U.S. hardware for assembly of the station.

standard operative temperature scale: Physiological and Biochemical Zoology, v. 72,
no. 6, p. 656-665.

Abstract

Most duckling mortality occurs during the week following hatching and is often
associated with cold, windy, wet weather and scattering of the brood. We estimated the
thermoregulatory demands imposed by cold, windy weather on isolated 1-d-old
mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) ducklings resting in cover. We measured O-2
consumption and evaporative water loss at air temperatures from 5 degrees to 25
degrees C and wind speeds of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1.0 mis. Metabolic heat production
increased as wind increased or temperature decreased but was less sensitive to wind
than that of either adult passerines or small mammals. Evaporative heat loss ranged
from 5% to 17% of heat production. Evaporative heal loss and the ratio of evaporative
heat loss to metabolic heat production was significantly lower in rest phase. These data
were used to define a standard operative temperature (T-es) scale for night or heavy
overcast conditions. An increase of wind speed from 0.1 to 1 mis decreased T-es by 3
degrees-5 degrees C.

TITLE:   GCN CIRCULAR
NUMBER:  7212
SUBJECT: Transient 080109/SN 2008D: Spectroscopic Evolution and Re-Classification
DATE:    08/01/24 01:08:45 GMT
FROM:    Maryam Modjaz at UC Berkeley  <mmodjaz@astro.berkeley.edu>

M. Modjaz, R. Chornock, R. J. Foley, A. V. Filippenko, and W. Li (UC
Berkeley); and G. Stringfellow (U of Colorado) report on behalf of a
larger collaboration:

"We obtained optical spectra of SN 2008D (Li & Filippenko, CBET 1202;
Soderberg et al., GCN 7165; Malesani et al., GCN 7169; Valenti et al.,
GCN 7171; Blondin et al., CBET 1205, see also GCN 7160-7168). 
A spectrum (range 350-970 nm) taken on Jan 21.22 UT with the ARC
3.5-m telescope (+ DIS) at APO shows it to be a type-Ib supernova.
The fully reduced spectrum shows the development of conspicuous lines
of He I (rest 447.1, 587.6, 667.8, 706.5 nm) with the maximum absorptions
blueshifted by roughly 10,000-11,000 km/s (assuming a recession velocity
for the host galaxy of 1947 km/s). 

This spectrum, when de-reddened by A_V ~ 2 mag, is very similar to
spectra of SN Ib 2005hg (CBET 271; Modjaz et al., in prep), about 1
week before maximum. Cross-correlation with a library of supernova
spectra using the "Supernova Identification" code (SNID; Blondin and
Tonry 2007, Ap.J. 666, 1024) indicates that the spectrum of SN 2008D
is also similar to that of SN Ib 1998dt (Matheson et al. 2001,
A.J. 121, 1648) at maximum light. We furthermore detect strong
absorption at 615 nm which could be due to Si II (rest 635.5 nm) at
10,000 km/s or alternatively, very high-velocity H-alpha at 19,000
km/s. SN 2008D is the SN associated with the X-Ray Transient 080109
(Berger & Soderberg, GCN 7159; Kong & Marcone, ATEL 1355) and was
previously classified as peculiar type-Ic supernova (Blondin et al.,
Valenti et al. CBET 1205) based on very early spectra, and later as a
normal type-Ic SN (Malesani et al. GCN 7184) with possibly some He as
seen in NIR spectra (Marion et al. GCN 7188)."

distribution of mercury in surficial sediments in Wisconsin seepage lakes: Canadian
Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, v. 50, no. 4, p. 865-873.

Abstract

We quantified total mercury in surficial sediments (uppermost 5 cm) of six small
seepage lakes. Fifty cores were taken from each lake, based on a random sampling
design stratified by water depth. Volumetric concentrations (mass per volume of wet
sediment) more accurately portrayed the depth distribution of mercury in the lakes than
did dry-weight concentrations, which underrepresented the significance of the
shallow-water sediments as a reservoir of potentially available mercury. Estimates of
whole-lake burdens (masses) of mercury in the surficial sediment, which represents the
maximum amount of sedimentary mercury available for methylation, ranged from 45
to 149 g. We hypothesize that the observed variation in areal burdens of mercury was
partly due to variation among lakes in the pH-related efflux of gaseous mercury (Hg
super(0)) from the lakes to the atmosphere.

[Docket A(32b1)-13-95]

Foreign-Trade Zone 84--Houston, TX, Subzone 84F, Phibro Refining,
Inc. (Crude Oil Refinery); Request for Modification of Restrictions

    A request has been submitted to the Foreign-Trade Zones Board (the
Board) by the Port of Houston Authority, grantee of FTZ 84, pursuant to
Sec. 400.32(b)(1) of the Board's regulations, for modification of the
restrictions in FTZ Board Order 552 authorizing Subzone 84F at the
crude oil refinery of Phibro Refining, Inc. (Phibro), in Houston,
Texas. The request was formally filed on July 18, 1995.
    The Board Order in question was issued subject to certain standard
restrictions, including one that required the election of privileged
foreign status on incoming foreign merchandise. The zone grantee has
requested that the latter restriction be modified so that Phibro would
have the option available under the FTZ Act to choose non-privileged
foreign (NPF) status on foreign refinery inputs used to produce certain
petrochemical feedstocks and by-products, including the following:
benzene, toluene, xylenes, other hydrocarbon mixtures, distillates/
residual fuel oils, kerosene, naphthas, liquified petroleum gas,
ethane, methane, propane, butane, ethylene, propylene, butylene,
butadiene, petroleum coke, asphalt, sulfur, sulfuric acid, cumene and
pseudocumene.
    The request cites the FTZ Board's recent decision in the Amoco,
Texas City, Texas case (Board Order 731, 60 FR 13118, 3/10/95) which
authorized subzone status with the NPF option noted above. In the Amoco
case, the Board concluded that the restriction that precluded this NPF
option was not needed under current oil refinery industry
circumstances.
    Public comment on the proposal is invited from interested parties.
Submissions (original and 3 copies) shall be addressed to the Board's
Executive Secretary at the address below. The closing period for their
receipt is August 28, 1995.
    A copy of the application and accompanying exhibits will be
available for public inspection at the following location: Office of
the Executive Secretary, Foreign-Trade Zones Board, U.S. Department of
Commerce, Room 3716, 14th & Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC
20230.

     Lewis and Clark would not recognize many portions of the mighty Missouri River today.
Over the intervening 200 years, generations of settlers have spent considerable energy trying to
manage the river and carve out a safe and prosperous place to live. We have created inexpensive
and dependable hydropower, flood control, irrigation systems, and navigation opportunities. 
These and other operational goals are balanced and implemented under the U.S. Corps of
Engineers' Missouri River Master Water Manual. 
     Unfortunately, harnessing the Missouri River came at a cost to many fish and wildlife
species that once thrived in a free-flowing river.  The pallid sturgeon, least tern, and piping
plover are symbolic of that decline in environmental diversity and quality; each of these species
is now listed under the Endangered Species Act as threatened or endangered.  The challenge now
facing the Corps of Engineers and others involved in managing the Missouri River is to create a
proper balance in the Master Manual among existing uses which include fish and wildlife and
recreation along with the traditionally targeted uses of flood control, navigation, and
hydropower.  It's not a draconian choice between people and the environment, as some would try
to portray this challenge; we must, by law and common sense, accommodate both.  
     The Service and the Corps have been working together and with others for the last several
years to discuss how the system can be managed. The result of these discussions will be a
document written by the Service called a biological opinion which spells out the actions
considered necessary to avoid jeopardizing the continued existence of the endangered species. A
draft biological opinion was submitted to the Corps on July 31 and will be used to further
discussions concerning the recommended actions.  The final biological opinion is expected by
late September.  The citizens of the basin will have ample opportunity to comment on these
recommendations and influence decision-making prior to implementation of any perceived
controversial action.  
     Let me be clear, returning the Missouri River to its former, uncontrolled condition is
neither necessary to protect the threatened and endangered species nor reasonable in light of the
many human uses now dependent upon a carefully managed river.  Our recommended changes in
river management will keep all the dams in place, help conserve fish and wildlife, and allow
farmers and river communities to continue to receive the benefits of flood protection, navigation,
and hydropower when the basin's citizens need them most.

QUESTION:
How big are the rings?

ANSWER from FAQ on June 11, 1999:
Saturn's ring system is both very broad (or wide) and very thin. The
inner edge of the rings begins approximately 6700 km (4200 mi) from the
cloud tops of Saturn. The outer edge of the A ring is at approximately
76,500 km (47,600 mi) from the cloud tops of Saturn. The outer edge of
the outermost ring (the E ring) is variable, but has been measured out
to about 420,000 km (260,000 mi) from Saturn's cloud tops. This distance
is greater than the distance between Earth and its moon (384,000 km). It
is possible that the rings extend even farther from Saturn in an ever
diminishing zone of fine, icy dust. In terms of thickness (slicing
through the ring plane from Saturn's North to South pole), the bright A
and B rings may be about as thick as the length of a football field - a
hundred meters. At its outer edge, the E ring increases in thickness to
several thousand kilometers.

RELEASE: 07-171

NASA DEVELOPS WIRELESS TILE SCANNER FOR SPACE SHUTTLE INSPECTION

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. - A new space shuttle tile inspection method 
using NASA-built, wireless scanners is replacing manual inspection. 
The new process begins with the upcoming shuttle mission, STS-118. 
Endeavour is scheduled to launch from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in 
Florida on Wednesday, Aug. 8 at 6:36 p.m. EDT.

Technicians have been using six new scanners to look for cracks and 
other imperfections in some of the 24,000 tiles that cover space 
shuttle Endeavour. The agency designed and built the new tools at 
NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. In the past, 
workers at Kennedy visually analyzed tiles and measured dings and 
cracks with small hand-held scales. 

"The new method is much faster and more accurate because the depth and 
volume measurements of the flaws and their locations are wirelessly 
transmitted into a computer database," said Joe Lavelle, a senior 
engineer and project manager at Ames. "This tool allows the 
inspectors to determine with very high confidence whether a shuttle 
tile needs to be replaced or just repaired."

"When they made the measurements manually with the scales, they had to 
estimate the volume of flaws to a worst-case value because they could 
not precisely measure the volume with any accuracy," Lavelle 
explained. "With this scanner, they will actually save tiles and the 
time-consuming process of replacing them."

The thermal tiles on the space shuttle protect it from the extreme 
heat generated during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. After 
each shuttle lands, technicians go through a very rigorous and 
lengthy process to assess the surface of the tiles for any damage.

Each scanner weighs approximately 2.9 pounds and is about the size and 
shape of a small teapot. Technicians place the machine on the tile's 
flaw to scan it. In about three seconds, the data are computerized 
and archived.

Engineers can scrutinize computerized 3-D pictures of the flaws. The 
images show the length, width and depth of the flaws on the surface 
of the tiles. Although engineers designed the instrument to scan 
space shuttle tiles, it also could scan reinforced carbon-carbon 
material used on the leading edges of the shuttle's wings.

Engineers developing a heat shield system for NASA's new spaceship 
Orion already are using a larger, desktop version of the scanner to 
study heat shield samples tested at Ames. NASA is building a second 
desktop scanner for use at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston. 
The unit should be completed in about two months.

from the muzzle. "Has the cartridge again not been examined and fallen to pieces?"
" No, sir, it is not the cartridge," reported the officer in charge excitedly from the upper deck. " It is much worse ! We can't get the projectile far enough in."
The following facts were then elicited. Ammunition had been sent out to Port Arthur in great haste, as it seemed likely that the communications of the fortress with the north might be cut off. In consequence of this a large batch of shell had not been examined at all, or only in part.
Of course the department making the issue could quote paragraph 527 of the instructions. These provide that the gunnery lieutenant is to stop the issue and report to the captain if any articles are found not to correspond exactly with the sealed pattern. With equal force the gunnery lieutenant could point out that he was unable to do this ; that he was without any means, and, above all, lacked the requisite time for careful examination of all stores we drew from the local depots to fill up our deficiencies. The storekeepers at Port Arthur, again, were quite in their right when they maintained that they had received these shell from the factory and the central department at home, and that they also lacked means and time for gauging. In short, as usual, every one, that is, no one, was to blame, but the fact remained.
Our gunnery lieutenant was in great trouble over this discovery. We had always filled up our allowance of shell as they were expended. In the shell rooms the new shell had been stowed in the empty racks. It was impossible now to say which were the shell received before the war, and which were not. It was equally impossible now, in time of war, to make a careful examination of the whole of our projectiles. We could only do this by degrees, by unstowing a small number of shell at a time. We required timebut did we know how much time we still had at our disposal ?   That all depended on the enemy.
A further defect was discovered. I don't know whether it was in consequence of bad gauging or simply of bad metal. Our cast-iron shell (the cheapest and therefore the most numerous in our outfit) often burst on leaving
QUESTION:
Why was a tetrahedron shaped craft sent to mars and set down on the
tetrahedron angle of 19.5 degrees north?

ANSWER from Bridget Landry on January 18, 2000:
A tetrahedron was the simplest shape in which to build the
space craft.  It has the fewest sides of any regular solid figure (if
you don't count a sphere), thus minimizing the number of moving parts.

The landing site was chosen as the best source of a wide variety of
rocks, as it was a flood plain.  Billions of years ago, repeated
flooding incidents occurred in that region, dumping soil and rocks
from terrains to the south and southwest on the site where we
eventually landed.  This effectively increased our sampling range by
several orders of magnitude, allowing us to learn a great deal more
than we would have on a relatively unmodified terrain.

We report refined XRT source positions for GRB 050315 (GCN3094, GCN3097), 
GRB 050318 (GCN3111, GCN3113), and GRB 050319 (GCN3117), based on improved 
ground-based analysis of extended data sets from these three bursts.  We 
find the following afterglow positions:

GRB 050315: RA(J2000) = 20:25:53.9, Dec(J2000) = -42:36:01.4 (P. Romano), 
which is 2.3" from the optical counterpart (GCN3100).

GRB 050318: RA(J2000) = 03:18:51.1, Dec(J2000) = -46:23:44.7 (V. Mangano), 
which is 1.1" from the optical counterpart (GCN3123).

GRB 050319: RA(J2000) = 10:16:48.1, Dec(J2000) = +43:32:52.3 (K. Page), 
which is 3.1" from the optical counterpart (GCN3116).
