Conditions Governing High-Latitude Dayside Aurora During IMF B_y>0

H. Korth, B.J. Anderson, T.J. Immel, H.U. Frey, S.B. Mende


In a recent study of IMAGE FUV data, Frey et al. (2003) examined cases of
high-latitude dayside aurora caused by precipitating electrons predominantly
during northward IMF with a strongly positive IMF By component. Analysis of FAST
data showed that the auroral spots coincide with regions of localized upward
field-aligned currents (FACs). In order to determine the conditions that control
these auroral emissions, we examined field-aligned currents observed by the
Iridium constellation for 25~events of prolonged steady IMF orientation with
clock angles between +60 degrees and +90 degrees. We find that localized FACs
are observed under all solar wind conditions but that the occurrence of high
latitude aurora are restricted to solar wind proton densities below 4 {cm^{-3}}
and peak current densities higher than 1.0 {muA/m^2}. These conditions were met
for the 11~events with auroral emissions while emissions are not observedduring
the remaining 14~events for which these conditions are not met. Our findings can
be qualitatively explained with the Knight relation [Knight, 1973], which states
that the field-aligned potential drop is directly proportional to the
field-aligned current density and inversely proportional to the energy density
of the precipitating population. Auroral emissions are generated, if the
field-aligned potential drop, which accelerates electrons into the ionosphere,
is sufficiently large whereas either low current density or high particle
density leads to lower potential and correspondingly weaker aurora. The results
also indicate that the particle density on field lines mapping to the upward
current region is largely governed by the solar wind density.

QUESTION:

1. The 1996 olympic gold medal winning distance for throwing an 8 lb.
shotput on Earth was 70 feet 11 inches. What would the throw be on Mars if
you threw the same shot put and how did you figure this out?

2. Would the lesser gravity on Mars effect speed in running events? The 1996
olympic gold medal winning time for the 100m on Earth was 9.84 seconds. What
would the time be on Mars and how did you figure it out? Is this possible to
figure out?

ANSWER from Jim Bell on March 27, 1998:
1. Martian gravity is only 38% of Earth gravity, so my guess would be that
the shotput could travel 62% (100%-38%) farther on Mars than on Earth, or
about 113 feet. Mars has a thinner atmosphere, too, so atmospheric drag
would be less and so the shotput could probably travel even further, maybe
over 120 feet, if the event was held outdoors in an "ambient" Mars
environment.

2. A harder question. Running speed is a complex combination of muscle power
and gravity and timing. Running in low gravity would take some training
(like the old Skylab astronauts had to train to jog in zero-g back in the
1970's), and over time people's muscles might get less powerful on Mars
because you don't need to be as strong to lift and move things (including
our bodies) in the lower gravity. With training, because of the lower
gravity someone might be able to beat the Earth 100 m record by making
longer, lower strides. But it would probably look nothing like a 100 m dash
event on Earth! Atmospheric drag is probably not a concern because the event
would have to occur inside a habitat of some kind with an Earth-like
atmosphere; I doubt a runner in a space suit could even come close because
of all the cumbersome breathing and heating hardware you have to wear.

  Title: DOES THE ABUNDANCE GRADIENT EXIST IN NON-CD-TYPE COOL CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES ?    

Abstract:
 One of the most striking results on clusters of galaxies field obtained with ASCA is
 existance of metal abundance gradient in cool cD clusters. Its scale-length of the
 abundance gradient is about 100kpc, which is smilar to the typical size of cD. The
 result implies a relationship between cD and the abaundace gradient. On the other
 hand, the existance of abundance gradient in hot component extending over the
 cluster tells us there is no relationship between cD and the abundace gradient. The
 best way to solve the problem is to observe non-cD cluster. However, there has been
 no observation of non-cD cool clusters. Then, we propose two non-cD-type cool clusters of galaxies; A168.

	I got money to buy some toes too.

BLUE:	Nope, you know our people never hold nothing on time. They just coming now.

MRS. WATSON	(beating on a skillet). All you young pullets and all you all hens go behind the curtain. We're going to sell off the toes. Everybody come on. Hurry up!

	(There is a lot of bashful giggling as the girls haltingly make their way to the quilts. Ruby stands by Spunk without moving.)

	Hey, Ruby, ain't you taking no part in the party? What you come here for?

RUBY (coyly)	I don't know whether my gentleman friend want me to play that or not. He might choose for me to just stay with him. (she looks coyly into his face.)

SPUNK.	Oh, that's all right with me, baby. Don't let me stop your fun. The boys might think hard of me if they didn't get a chance at your toe.

	(Ruby is chagrined and goes slowly to join the others behind the quilts. SPUNK pulls his guitar from behind him and plays a chord or two in an absent-minded way.)

MRS. WATSON.	Whilst the girls is getting their toes ready to show, maybe our new friend will favor us with a guitar selection.

	(Everyone begins to clap hands and SPUNK plays Polk County". His hearers are delighted.)

MRS. WATSON	(in admiration) That's a box-picking fool! Gwan, play us some march music for the boys to march up and choose by.

SPUNK.	I wants to march, too. I aims to buy a too myself.

MRS. WATSON.	(arranging line) Get on the tail end of the line and play and march at the same time, like a nice boy. Don't make nobody beg you to play.

SPEAKER: Dr. Jay Schneider

TITLE:   Evolutionary patterns of cardiid bivalves (cockles and giant 
clams): broad agreement between molecules and morphology

Dr. Schneider is a candidate for a position with the NCBI taxonomy 
group. The abstract is appended below.

The bivalve molluscs of the family Cardiidae (cockles and giant clams) 
have a present-day diversity of over 200 species and live in shallow 
marine environments all over the globe.  Both the shell and the anatomy 
of cardiids provide far more characters for phylogenetic analysis than 
most bivalves, therefore making them an excellent system for testing 
the congruency of phylogenetic hypotheses from molecular data versus 
those from morphologic data.

The D2 domain of the 28s gene has been used to produce a phylogenetic 
hypothesis of the cardiids.  Results using preliminary alignments 
produce hypotheses in broad agreement with those derived from 
morphologic data.  The 28s gene in cardiids has been found to be much 
more variable than in any other group of molluscs yet studied. Various 
secondary structure models are being investigated to minimize gaps and 
otherwise improve alignments. In the ontogeny and phylogeny of giant 
clams, the morphology and position of the muscle scars and hinge 
changes from that of the edible cockle Cerastoderma to that displayed 
by the giant clams Tridacna and Hippopus, which have lost the anterior 
half of the shell.  This peramorphic trend is documented by a 
remarkable series of transitional fossils.  The giant clam molecular 
phylogeny (using 16s rDNA) suggests an interesting biogeographic and 
paleontologic pattern: the two rare species of giant clam are the only 
ones which lack a fossil record; they appear to be relict lineages 
which have replaced over almost all of their former ranges by 
congeners, and should eventually be found as fossil.

All giant clams and several species of fragine cardiids harbor 
photosymbiotic zooxanthellae, which transfer excess carbon to their 
molluscan host.  Fragine cardiids tend to have simplified digestive 
systems whereas giant clams do not.  The possession of both 
photosymbionts and a fully functional digestive system allows giant 
clams to be the fastest growing and largest living bivalves.

physical distress for the greater number, especially for those who had hastened from offices, stores, shops, clerkships and the pastor's study. Over one-third of the men in camp had very little money or none at all, and knew no way of earning it except by the hardest kind of manual labor, to which they were unused.
It cost $i a night to sleep in a dirty, rough pine bunk. Water sold at 20 cents a gallon, a small dish of beans at 50 cents, tallow candles at two-bits (25 cents), common overalls at $5 each, smoked hams at $12 each, and cowhide boots were disposed of as fast as they could be hauled to camp across the desert from Los Angeles and Yuma for $35 a pair. It was a "ground-hog" case with these commodities for the first i6 months of Tombstone
-take them at the price asked or go without. In I88i all the Tombstone mines that paid well were in the hands of a few persons, and the population of the place had gone down to 5,000. In 1883 the mines, with two exceptions, began to peter out, and the population dropped to 3,000. Since then it has gone down slowly to less than I,ooo souls.
Thousands of people will never forget the rush for the Harqua Hala diggings in the spring of 1892. The mines were found in the northwestern part of Arizona, close to the Colorado river, and the boundary lines between Arizona, California and Nevada. For several months in the winter of I89I-2 there came almost every week, news of the big prospects that a half dozen miners, who had been moving from one camp to another in the territories and in Mexico for nearly a generation, had at last come across at Harqua Hala.
Along in March and April quantities of gold dust and nuggets from the mines came into the hands of bankers in San Bernardino and Los Angeles. The newspapers

                      MMS ANNOUNCES WINNING BIDS FOR
                       ROYALTY GAS MARKETING PILOT 

     The U.S. Department of the Interior's Minerals Management
Service (MMS) today announced winning bids from MMS's Invitation
for Bids (IFB) to buy the federal government's royalty share of
natural gas from company-volunteered leases in the Gulf of
Mexico.  MMS opened bids on November 21, 1994, in Herndon, VA.  

     "We're extremely pleased with the number of bidders and the
quality of the bids," said MMS Acting Director Cynthia
Quarterman.  "Because participation in this pilot project is
voluntary, industry's willingness to test new approaches to
royalty collections is most gratifying."

     The IFB solicited bids on 75 leases, containing an estimated
170,800 MMBtu's of royalty gas per day.  The following companies
submitted the winning bids from among the 24 bids submitted by 23

      The intent of the royalty gas marketing pilot is to see
whether taking federal gas royalties in kind, rather than
receiving cash payments, will improve the process of royalty
collection for both MMS and the gas industry.
               
     "By simplifying procedures, we expect to eliminate a lot of
paperwork associated with gas valuation," said Quarterman.  "As a
result, MMS shouldn't have to expend as much effort for audits,
and that will lower costs.

     "This pilot has evolved out of discussions with our
customers and typifies 'doing more with less.'  It is a true
example of reinventing government -- MMS trying new business
practices and procedures to work better and smarter," she said.
     
     The pilot will run for one year beginning January 1, 1995. 
In conjunction with industry producers and marketers, MMS will
evaluate the potential cost savings and benefits of the project
to decide whether it will be continued.  MMS also will analyze
revenues received to ensure fair market value.

     For more information about the pilot call Jim Mackay at
(703) 787-1354 or Jim McNamee at (303) 275-7126.

CHAPTER VII
THB " BRONCO KID'S "  AVESDROPPING
IATE in July it grows dark as midnight approaches, Lso that the many lights from doorway and window seem less garish and strange than they do a month earlier. In the Northern there was good business doing. The new bar fixtures, which had cost a king's ransom, or represented the one night's losings of a Klondike millionaire, shone rich, dark, and enticing, while the cut glass sparkled with iridescent hues, reflecting, in a measure, the prismatic moods, the dancing spirits of the crowd that crushed past, halting at the gambling games, or patronizing the theatre in the rear. The old bar furniture, brought down by dog team from ' Up River," was established at the rear extremity of the long building, just inside the entrance to the dancehall, where patrons of the drama might, with a modi. cum of delay and inconvenience, quaff as deeply of the beaker as of the ballet.
Now, however, the show had closed, the hall had been cleared of chairs and canvas, exposing a glassy, tempting surface, and the orchestra had moved to the stage. They played a rollicking, blood-stirring twostep, while the floor swam with dancers.
At certain intervals the musicians worked feverishly up to a crashing crescendo, supported by the voices of 68

...RIVERS CONTINUE TO RISE ACROSS CENTRAL FL...

RIVERS CONTINUE TO RISE ACROSS MANY RIVERS OF WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA 
THOUGH A NUMBER OF RIVER FORECASTS HAVE BEEN LOWERED AS PAST RAINFALL 
HAS COME IN LOWER THAN EXPECTED.  

AT ARCADIA ON THE PEACE RIVER...LOWERED FORECAST AS UPSTREAM FLOWS 
ESPECIALLY FROM CHARLIE CREEK HAVE BEEN LAGGIN A BIT.  MODEL STILL 
SIMULATING ENOUGH VOLUME TO GET RIVER TO FLOOD EVEN THOUGH PERSISTENCE 
OF THE RISE WOULD KEEP FORECAST BELOW FLOOD STAGE.  THINKING THE ROUTED 
WATER WILL BEGIN TO INCREASE THE RATE OF RISE HERE OVER THE NEXT DAY.
...AND DO NOT WANT TO GIVE UP ON MINOR FLOODING HERE YET.

AT DUNNELLON ON THE WITHLACOOCHEE...DNLF1 ABOUT TO GO TO FLOOD HERE

NASA KICKS OFF 2009 FIRST ROBOTICS SEASON WITH LIVE BROADCAST

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. - NASA Television will broadcast the annual 
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) 
Robotics Kickoff event on Saturday, Jan. 3, 2009, at 7 a.m. PST from 
Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester. 

During the live broadcast, FIRST Robotics founder Dean Kamen will 
reveal the competition scenario for 2009, launching a six-week design 
and building frenzy for thousands of students in 1,687 international 
student teams. 

The event also will be streamed live at NASA Robotics Alliance Project 
(RAP) Web site at http://robotics.nasa.gov. 

Each year, FIRST presents a new robotics competition scenario with 
twists and nuances to challenge both rookie and veteran teams alike. 
Each team receives an identical kit of parts and has six weeks to 
design and build a robot based on the team's interpretation of the 
game scenario. Other than dimension and weight restrictions, the look 
and function of the robots is up to each individual team. 

As in past years, NASA is playing a significant role by providing 
public access to robotics programs to encourage young people to 
investigate careers in the sciences and engineering. Through the NASA 
Robotics Alliance Project, the agency provides grants for 238 teams 
and sponsors four regional student competitions, including a new 
FIRST regional competition in Washington, D.C. 

Kamen founded FIRST in 1989 to convince American youth that 
engineering and technology are exciting and 'cool' fields. The annual 
robotics competition is patterned after the engineering design course
