STS-84 MISSION CONTROL CENTER STATUS REPORT # 18

The STS-84 crew aboard Atlantis are busy with final stowage of 
experiments and equipment in preparation for return to Earth early 
tomorrow morning while the flight team in Mission Control continues 
to assess the weather forecast for the landing site on Saturday.

The current weather forecast for Saturday has several issues. The 
prime threat against an Atlantis homecoming on Saturday, is the 
chance of rain showers within 30 n.m. of Kennedy Space Center. There 
is also a concern with broken cloud cover that might be over the 
Florida landing site tomorrow. The alternate landing site at Edwards 
Air Force Base in California is not being called up for support on 
Saturday.

This evening&rsquo;s wake up call to Atlantis&rsquo; came at 9:08 p.m. 
Continuing a theme observed in STS-84 wake up calls, today&rsquo;s 
musical selection was "The Star Spangled Banner". Mission Control, in 
a salute to the international nature of the STS-84 flight and makeup 
of the crew, on various mornings has played the national anthems of 
Russia, France, Great Britain, Peru and the United States.

If everything goes as planned, deorbit preparations will begin just 
before 2 a.m. tomorrow morning followed an hour later by the closing 
of Atlantis&rsquo; payload bay doors. The astronauts are scheduled to 
don their launch and entry suits shortly after 4 a.m. and strap into 
their seats about 5 a.m. Entry Flight Director Wayne Hale is expected 
to poll the flight control team for the final decision for the 
deorbit burn 20 minutes prior to the planned firing of 
Atlantis&rsquo; orbital maneuvering system engines at 5:47 a.m.

The deorbit burn will last 3 minutes, 14 seconds, and will take place 
220 n.m. over the southern portion of the Indian Ocean. The deorbit 
burn will slow Atlantis down enough to allow the Shuttle to fall back 
into the Earth&rsquo;s atmosphere. About 30 minutes after the burn, 
Atlantis will begin to feel the effects of Earth&rsquo;s atmosphere 
as it travels north of Hawaii over the Pacific Ocean at an altitude 
of 400,000 feet.

Atlantis will travel in a northwest to southeast path across the 
United States as it makes its approach into the area around the 
Kennedy Space Center. Touchdown of Atlantis at Kennedy Space 
Center&rsquo;s Shuttle Landing Facility is planned for 6:52 a.m. CDT.

Should the weather prevent the crew from utilizing the first landing 
opportunity, a second one is available one orbit later. The second 
opportunity would call for a deorbit burn at 7:22 a.m. CDT and a 
landing at KSC at 8:28 a.m. CDT.

Following landing, the STS-84 crew will remain at KSC overnight and 
will return to Houston on Sunday morning.

The next Shuttle status report will be issued after landing on 
Saturday.

combined Denil and vertical slot fishway. Fisheries Management and Ecology.  
5:31-44.
	
A fishway (fish pass), consisting of vertical slot and Denil sections, was 
constructed at the lowest dam on the River Kemijoki, northern Finland, in 1993. 
The river was one of the best salmon rivers in Europe until 1949, when the dam 
and the hydropower plant were completed close to the river mouth. From 1993 to 
1995, nearly 1000 adult salmonids passed through the fishway despite heavy 
fishing below the dam. Of environmental variables measured, water temperature, 
headwater level, and discharge through the power plant in relation to season 
changes explained most of the variation in Baltic salmon, Salmo salar L., 
numbers. They had a minor effect on trout, Salmo trutta L. Migratory whitefish, 
Coregonus lavaretus (L.), entered the fishway but were not observed in its 
uppermost pool. River lamprey, Lampetra fluviatilis (L.), passed through the 
vertical slot section of the fishway after plastic bristles were fastened into 
the bottom of the slots.

missionary bury him, and the next morning calmly passed away, trusting in Jesus.
A small residence was erected for the missionary, and a school-house and chapel, thirty by forty feet in size. Getting started in the lower village, another mission was established in the upper one, twentyfive miles distant. This is the darkest and most wicked village on the river. They do not bury their dead, but have a feast, make a great fire in the house, throw on the body, and dance around it while it burns ; but they are seeking for light. Heathenism was carried on by doctors and conjurors to a great degree, ten being at work when the missionaries arrived. They preached the first night to a large congregation. The next day they visited the sick, giving them medicine and pointing them to Jesus. A large number of the people followed them from house to house, eager to catch every word. On Sunday the large house was filled; many, being unable to get even standing room, climbed up the roof to the open square, through which the smoke escapes, and there listened attentively, through the whole service, to the precious word, although snow was falling. On Monday they had a meeting, and at the close asked the doctors and conjurors to abandon their deceptive work. They confessed before all the people that they knew that they could not help any one, and promised that they would give it up and burn their mysterious boxes at once.
One day an old chief came to ask a question. He said, " The white people are very wise; they know a great deal, but the Indians are a very foolish people;

Three Lyman-alpha-sensitive photometers (the FUV/GEO experiment) onboard IMAGE
are designed to obtain 360 degree swaths of the sky every 2 minutes, at 0 
degrees and 30 degrees from the spin/orbital plane of the spacecraft.  Each 
swath will have 1 degree resolution with an integration time of 0.3 s per 
measurement.  The sensitivity of the photometers is 0.4 counts/s/Rayleigh, 
providing excellent S/N ratios for geocoronal observations throughout the 1000 
km by 7 R_E altitude (and 13.5 hr period) IMAGE orbit (e.g., S/N ratios from
~10 to ~70 for zenith and bright limb viewing, respectively). The FUV/GEO 
measurements are intended to yield exospheric H density distributions to be 
used in the analysis of energetic neutral atom measurements also being made by 
experiments onboard IMAGE. Using the lyao_rt geocoronal radiative transfer 
model of Bishop (e.g., J. Quant. Spectrosc. Rad. Transf.}, 61, 473, 1999) and 
the interplanetary medium model of Pryor (e.g., J. Geophys. Res., 103, 26,813, 
1998), we have simulated the signal expected for the FUV/GEO experiment for a 
variety of conditions and look directions. These model results will be compared 
with initial data from the mission.

SEC-225 -- TENANT AND PARTICIPANT PROTECTIONS.
 (a) Lease.-The lease between a tenant and an owner of affordable
housing assisted under this title for rental shall be for not less than
one year, unless by mutual agreement between the tenant and the owner,
and shall contain such terms and conditions as the Secretary shall
determine to be appropriate.
 (b) Termination of Tenancy.-An owner shall not terminate the tenancy
or refuse to renew the lease of a tenant of rental housing assisted
under this title except for serious or repeated violation of the terms
and conditions of the lease, for violation of applicable Federal, State,
or local law, or for other good cause. Any termination or refusal to
renew must be preceded by not less than 30 days by the owner's service
upon the tenant of a written notice specifying the grounds for the
action.
 (c) Maintenance and Replacement.-The owner of rental housing assisted
under this title shall maintain the premises in compliance with all
applicable housing quality standards and local code requirements.
 (d) Tenant Selection.-The owner of rental housing assisted under this
title shall adopt written tenant selection policies and criteria that-
 (1) are consistent with the purpose of providing housing for very
low-income and low-income families,
 (2) are reasonably related to program eligibility and the applicant's
ability to perform the obligations of the lease,
 (3) give reasonable consideration to the housing needs of families that
would have a preference under section 6(c)(4)(A) of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C. 1437d(c)(4)(A)), and
 (4) provide for (A) the selection of tenants from a written waiting list
in the chronological order of their application, insofar as is
practicable, and (B) for the prompt notification in writing of any
rejected applicant of the grounds for any rejection.
Buffered CoScheduled (BCS) MPI is a novel implementation of MPI based
on global synchronization of all system activities. BCS-MPI imposes a
model where all processes and their communication are tightly
scheduled at a very fine granularity. Thus, BCS-MPI behests a system
that is much more controllable and deterministic.  BCS-MPI leverages
this regular behavior to provide a simple yet powerful monitoring and
debugging subsystem that streamlines the analysis of parallel
software. This subsystem, called Monitoring and Debugging System
(MDS), provides exhaustive process and communication scheduling
statistics. This paper covers in detail the design and implementation
of the MDS subsystem, and demonstrates how the MDS can be used to
monitor and debug not only parallel MPI applications but also the
BCS-MPI runtime system itself.  Additionally, we show that this
functionality needs not come at a significant performance loss.

RELEASE:  92-147

NASA-DEVELOPED "TELEPRESENCE" KEY TO ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION

	NASA scientists will use "telepresence" technology in the
Antarctic this fall to see if life that existed millions of years ago
on Earth can provide clues about organisms that once may have lived on
Mars.

	A 5-member research team will travel to Antarctica in October to study
sediment on the bottom of ice-covered Lake Hoare on Ross Island.  They will
examine the physical and biological nature of the lake, including its
temperature, chemical composition and the gas content of the water. The key
research tool will be a mini-submarine mounting a camera that researchers
will control with a video headset.

	"Antarctica is the most Mars-like environment on Earth," said Dr. Carol
Stoker, a scientist and expedition member from NASA's Ames Research
Center, Mountain View, Calif.  "We're taking this technology to a hostile
environment to conduct research that has direct applications to NASA's goal
of exploring Mars."

	The team also plans to continue studies of ice-covered lakes started
earlier this year during a joint NASA-Russian expedition in the Bunger Hills
Oasis of Eastern Antarctica.  That study was part of Ames' research into
microbes living in extreme environments.

	The telepresence technology relies on a video headset that lets
researchers use head movements to point the camera on the underwater
vehicle.  Team members will steer the vehicle by remote control with
joysticks or body motion.

	"There are lots of work going on in the Silicon Valley using
telepresence in various engineering applications," Stoker said. "But we are
the only ones using this technology for field science."

	The 2-month expedition is a joint NASA-National Science Foundation
project.  Team leader is Dr. Robert Wharton, a scientist from the Desert
Research Institute at the University of Nevada.  Other team members are Dr.
Scott Tyler of the Desert Research Institute and Ames researchers Stoker,
Dale Andersen and Don Barch.

	The Telepresence-Controlled Remotely Operated Vehicle was built by
Deep Ocean Engineering Inc., San Leandro, Calif.

High-resolution genetic parameters for a malaria parasite genome
===============================================================

John Wootton, NCBI

I will describe some of the essential, but relatively unfamiliar, genetic 
theories and methods involved in the comprehensive genetic map project of 
the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum (Tom Wellems' laboratory 
in close collaboration with NCBI [1]).  From a large set of sequence-tagged
markers and segregation data [2], genome-wide parameters, for example haploid 
segregation patterns and distributions of meiotic recombination events, 
were inferred. The haplotype data were particularly suitable for Poisson
process analysis of crossover count-location structures, using methods 
similar to those pioneered by Liberman and Karlin [review, 3].  The markers, 
data, and parameters provide a powerful resource for assigning genes, 
including multiple genes and QTLs, to functional traits of P. falciparum, 
particularly together with allelic association ("linkage disequilibrium") 
studies of parasite populations in the field.  Similar approaches may
facilitate the functional genomics of other organisms.  In this outline, no 
prior knowledge of genetic theory or of malaria will be assumed.

             Obstacle Removed For Small Banks Seeking to
                     Attract Qualified Managers 

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- A final rule appears in today's Federal
Register that will revise the bank management interlocks rule.  The
new rule allows management interlocks between an institution under
$20 million in assets and an institution with assets of $20 million
or more that are both located in the same metropolitan statistical
area, a large urban-suburban area generally centered on a major
city. The final rule, which takes effect October 1, is published
jointly by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Reserve Board and Office of
Thrift Supervision.

The change is intended to provide small institutions with a larger
pool of qualified candidates for management positions.  However,
management interlocks between unaffiliated institutions remain
impermissible, regardless of the size of the institutions, when the
institutions are in the same community.

The final rule also implements provisions of the Riegle Community
Development and Regulatory Improvement Act of 1994 by allowing
banks to have interlocks that otherwise would be impermissible if
the bank seeking to add a management official meets the criteria in
the rule for obtaining an exemption.  These exemptions are
available, for instance, when an individual has special knowledge
or experience that would improve the provision of credit to low-
and moderate-income areas or when a bank, after undertaking a
reasonable search, is unable to find someone who is qualified,
interested in serving, and not prohibited by the statute from
serving.

birds, with no greater danger than that of numerous duck-
ings.
Whether Dante grew overbold with some preliminary
successes, or whether he was impatient to display his
achievement before his fellow-citizens and his sovereign,
he attempted to repeat the feat in Perugia, on the occa-
sion of the marriage of Bartholomew Alviano with the sis-
ter of Jean Paul Baglioni. Starting from the top of the
highest tower in the city of Perugia, he sailed across the
public square and balanced himself for a long time in the
air, amid the acclamations of the multitude. Unfortu-
nately the iron forging which managed his left wing sud-
denly broke, so that he fell upon Notre Dame Church and
had one leg broken. Upon his recovery he seems to have
given up further experiment, but went to teach mathe-
matics at Venice, where he died of a fever before he had
reached forty years of age.
Granting the tradition to be true, the apparatus used by
Dante must have been more manageable than any of its
predecessors, for the accident is said to have been due to
a breakage instead of a loss of balance. The latter, how-
ever, must have been still deficient, or Dante would have
renewed his experiments with a stronger forging. He
may have reasoned, moreover, that as the wind does
not blow with the requisite speed every day, and he knew
of no sufficiently light motor to take its place, the use of a
soaring machine would be very limited ; but it is very
unfortunate that we should have no description of the ma-
chine and its mode of operation.
Two somewhat similar experiments are alluded to in
M. G. de la Landelle's " Aviation," published in 1863,
but are too briefly described to give much of an idea as to
the kind of apparatus employed ; he says :
Paul Guidotti, an artist-painter, sculptor and architect, who
was born in Lucca in 1569, constructed wings of whalebone
covered with feathers, and made use of them several times
with success. Determining to exhibit his discovery, he took
flight from an elevation, and sustained himself pretty well in
the air for a quarter of a mile, but soon becoming exhausted,
he fell upon a roof, and his thigh-bone was broken.    .    .    .
I might also cite the article from the Malaga newspaper, the
Courier of Andalusia, which was republished in several French
journals in March, 1863, stating that a peasant of the neighbor-
hood, named Francisco Orujo, was said to have sailed in the
air a distance of one league with artificial wings in less than
fifteen minutes ; but why multiply examples ? It is better to
deduce from these occurrences, some of which are abundantly
authenticated, useful conclusions concerning the insufficiency
of man's muscular power, and concerning the sustaining power
of an inclined plane.
POSSIBLE HYBRIDIZATION BETWEEN GRAPTEMYS PSEUDOGEOGRAPHICA AND       G. 
OUACHITENSIS ALONG THE CEDAR RIVER, IOWA AND THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER

Graptemys ouachitensis (Ouachita Map Turtle) were once considered a 
subspecies of G. pseudogeographica (False Map Turtle) until Vogt elevated it 
to full species level in 1993.  It was mentioned that the two species would 
hybridize and that the resulting offspring would look intermediate in 
appearance between the two species. Another study in 1994 by Lamb et al. 
using mtDNA placed G. ouachitensis as a subspecies of G. pseudogeographica.  
      
In 2005, a study was done on the Cedar River, Iowa to assess turtle 
diversity.  Turtles were trapped at two sites; one on the upper Cedar River 
near Waverly, IA and the other lower Cedar River site was near Moscow, IA.  
All map turtles captured at the upper Cedar River site were identified as G. 
pseudogeographica based on appearance.  Map turtles captured at the lower 
Cedar River site had an appearance in between G. pseudogeographica and G. 
ouachitensis.  G. pseudogeographica are distinguished from other map turtles 
by a yellow backwards L or swoosh behind the eye.  There are no large 
blotches or spots on the head.  G. ouachitensis are distinguished from other 
map turtles by three blotches on the head.  There is a yellow backwards L or 
swoosh behind the eye (larger than G. pseudogeographica) a spot below the 
eye, and a spot below the mouth line.  The eyes are also yellow whereas the 
eyes of G. pseudogeographica are more green.
      
In 2006, a genetic study was conducted at the previous two sites and also on 
the Mississippi River in pool 13 (Sabula IA) and pool 19 (Keokuk, IA).  G. 
pseudogeographica was captured at the upper Cedar River site and at the 
Mississippi River pool 13 site, G. ouachitensis was captured at the 
Mississippi River pool 19 site, and an intermediate between G. 
pseudogeographica and G. ouachitensis was captured at the lower Cedar River 
site.  Morphological measurements were taken along with tail tissue for 
microsatellite analysis.  Conclusions about hybridization between G. 
pseudogeographica and G. ouachitensis will be presented based upon 
morphological and genetic data.  These data will be used to assess the 
taxonomic status of G. ouachitensis.

NASA’S AMES SCIENTISTS PARTICIPATE IN MEDIA DAY FOR ARCTIC MISSION

MOFFETT FIELD, Calif. - NASA Public Affairs will hold a media day in 
Fairbanks, Alaska, on Monday, April 14, to give reporters a 
behind-the-scenes view of the largest airborne experiment ever 
conducted to study the impact of air pollution on the Arctic's 
atmospheric chemistry and changing climate.

Managed by NASA's Ames Research Center's Earth Science Project Office, 
the experiment -- the Arctic Research of the Composition of the 
Troposphere from Aircraft and Satellites (ARCTAS) campaign -- will 
use aircraft and NASA satellites to probe the arctic atmosphere, 
sampling gaseous and particulate pollution to understand its origin 
and influences on climate across the region.

Three NASA research aircraft and more than 100 scientists will be 
based in Fairbanks for three weeks in April to investigate the 
"arctic haze" of air pollution that forms from sources across the 
Northern Hemisphere.

During the media day reporters are invited to meet with scientists and 
see the aircraft and instruments being used in ARCTAS. 
Representatives from the Department of Energy and the National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will also be available to 
discuss two complementary airborne campaigns based in Fairbanks in 
April.

The media day begins at 10 a.m. AKDT on April 14 at the Geophysical 
Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, 903 Koyukuk Dr. 
After a briefing with mission scientists, reporters will be given 
escorted tours of the research aircraft and opportunities for 
interviews.

Reporters planning to attend the media day should contact Amy Hartley, 
University of Alaska Fairbanks, in advance by April 11, 2008. For 
more information about ARCTAS, contact Robin Croft, NASA Ames 
Research Center, or visit the project Web site:

QUESTION:
How do you explain the presence of rocks of andesitic composition (from the
preliminary APXS data) on Mars given that all the tell-tale signs of active
or ancient plate tectonics (eg. mountain ranges etc.) are absent?

Rocks of this composition usually imply significant fractionation of a
primitive magma, commonly only seen in convergent plate-tectonic settings on
Earth (eg. the Andes, north island of New Zealand etc.).

ANSWER from Bruce Jakosky on September 1, 1997:
That's a good question, and one of the puzzles from the Pathfinder results.
If we rule out as improbable the idea that the andesite is actually an Earth
rock transported to Mars by impact, then we are left with several possible
alternatives.  First, the apparent andesites could be impact breccias,
formed by the squeezing together of grains from many different kinds of
rocks.  Second, there could be a substantial contamination of the rock due
to the presence on its surface of airborne dust that was high in silicon
content.  Third, it could be a volcanic rock erupted from a differentiated
magma chamber.  This last may not be too implausible.  For example, we find
andesites and, in fact, pure olivine, in some volcanic eruptions in Hawaii;
these generally occur as late-stage volcanism, but this is a similar
environment to Mars in that we would expect something more basaltic. 

Unfortunately, without having more information about what sort of geologic
environment was the source for these rocks, it's awfully difficult to know
how to interpret them.  This is the difficulty of dealing with a "grab bag"
landing site that contains rocks that came from other regions.  We might be
able to make a better interpretation after a large number of rocks have been
examined and we can get statistics on the types of rocks that are present.


ANSWER from Phil Christensen on August 11, 1997:
The best response to the question of andesites on Mars is that we have 
very limited experience with volcanoes and "plumbing systems" the size 
of the volcanoes on Mars.  What type of differentiation might occur 
beneath a volcano 600 km in size and 26 km high?  How does differentiation 
proceed in magma chambers of this scale?  What are the recharge time 
scales and volumes from the source below the volcano?  Perhaps magmas 
reside in chambers for a very long time. Also, we don't have a good 
idea of the water content of the martian mantle, nor its effect on 
differentiation.  I would suggest that if andesites are confirmed then 
it will force us to rethink how more differentiated magmas can form 
in the absence of plate tectonics. I suspect we have a lot to learn.
464                HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE   SOCIETY.
induced by Mr. Fulton to transfer them to the society. The trunk in which they were contained, was in the possession of the latter at the time of his decease, and in July, 1816, their reception by the society was duly announced. In the following year, Mrs. Morris, of Morrisania, relict of Gouverneur Morris, presented to the society portraits of Columbus, Americus Ves-pucius, Cortez, and Magellan, copied from the originals, it is said, in the Florence Gallery. To these has been recently added a copy of an original portrait of Sebastian Cabot, for which the society is indebted to the artist, Mr. C. G. Thompson.
In 1814, Dr. Hosack succeeded the Rev. Dr. Miller as corresponding secretary, the latter having accepted a professorship in Princeton College, which he yet fills. The society thus lost one of its most active and useful members, to whose exertions it had been greatly indebted from the beginning. Dr. Hosack likewise took a lively interest in the prosperity of the society, and for several years was among its warmest friends. Ha was elected President on the resignation of De Witt Clinton, in 1820, and delivered several discourses before the institution, in which he displayed great learning and historical research.
In 1815, notice was given to the society that the Government House was to be sold, and that the corporation had appropriated the large building in the rear of the new City Hall for the use of this and other institutions. The following year the society accordingly removed to spacious rooms in that building, to which the name of the New-York Institution was then given. The Government House was taken down about the same time, and the grounds it had occupied were soon covered with the handsome block of houses now fronting the Bowling Green. This was orginally the site of Fort Amsterdam, which after the conquest was called Fort James, in compliment to the Duke of York; in the reign of William and Mary, Fort William ; and in the following reigns, Fort Anne and Fort George. In 1790, die legislature passed, an act authorizing the corporation to demolish Fort George, and to level the ground on which it was situated, a part being reserved for public purposes, and a part rested in the corporation for the erection of public buildings, or works of defence. The same act appointed commissioners for the purpose of causing " a proper house and other necessary buildings to be erected on some part of the lands for the use of the government of this state, and to be applied to the temporary use and accommodation of the President of the United States, during such times as congress shall hold their sessions in the city of New-York." Such was the origin of the Government House. Congress having removed to Philadelphia before the completion of the edifice, it was never occupied by the President, as originally intended, but was the residence of the gov-

    about constant for these 3 blocks of runs and the value of 
    the gains for the other 6 blocks are of a different constant.

L3 S4 E2:
   The first 6 blocks of runs are about constant with a gain of ~18. 
   And the last 3 blocks are all ~16.  So there is a discreet
   change between 50121:50142 - 50143:50172.
MY BEAR HUNT.                 111
and seasoning it with salt and pepper, which I had obtained from my saddle-bags, I soon sat down to a " genuine square meal," which I greatly relished.
After resting for a couple of hours, I remounted and resumed my upward trip to the mountains, having made up my mind to camp out that night rather than go back without a bear, which my friends knew I had gone out for. As the days were growing short, night soon came on, and I looked around for a suitable camping place. While thus engaged, I scared up a flock of sage-hens, two of which I shot, intending to have one for supper and the other for breakfast.
By this time it was becoming quite dark, and I rode down to one of the little mountain streams, where I found an open place in the timber suitable for a camp. I dismounted, and after unsaddling my horse and hitching him to a tree, I prepared to start a fire. Just then I was startled by hearing a horse whinnying further up the stream. It was quite a surprise to me, and I immediately ran to my animal to keep him from answering, as horses usually do in such cases. I thought that the strange horse might belong to some roaming band of Indians, as I knew of no white men being in that portion of the country at that time. I was certain that the owner of the strange horse could not be far distant, and I was very anxious to find out who my neighbor was, before letting him know that I was in his vicinity. I therefore resaddled my horse, and leaving him tied so that I could easily reach him I took my gun and started out on a scouting expedition up the stream. I had gone about four hundred yards when, in a bend of the stream, Idiscovered ten or fifteen horses grazing.
On the opposite side of the creek a light was shining high up the mountain bank. Approaching the mysterious spot as cautiously as possible, and when witlin a few yards of the light-which I discovered came from a dug-o.  the mountain side-I heard voices, and soon I was able tobistinguish the words, as they proved to be in my own language.
