Have any of you had any experience working with full-cutoff low
pressure sodium outdoor lighting (LPS)?  It is the most
energy-efficient lighting yet invented.  I have a couple of
Spaulding Palomar 55-watt LPS luminaires on the street by my house
and I really like them.

Re: Any environmental engineering program?

There are about 200 graduate environmental engineering programs.  I am on
the Faculty at Drexel University, where we have such a program.  However
we do not have anything in the particular are in which you are
interested.  If you want to locate suitable programs, my suggestion is
that you look at the publication ENGINEERING EDUCATION (published by the
American Society for Engineering Education).  One issue per year is
devoted to graduate education and research, with 1-2 page summaries of
each university, and a good index of recent doctoral thesis topics.  This
should help you to get a short list of programs to whom you can write and
request additional information.

The original poster may want to try misc.books.technical.  I have seen
many `books for sale' articles posted there, and nary a question or flame.

Some people don't like the spectrum.  Out here in California,
the Department of Transportation (Caltrans) uses almost
exclusively high pressure sodium vapor, as do most cities
in southern California.  I've heard fewer people complain 
about the HPS, because the amount of red is not as great. 
How many lumens do you get from the 55-watt LPS?   
(A 200-watt HPS gives 20,000 lumens.)

Long Beach, CA uses LPS street lights, and i've seen it cause 
some problems.  I've been driving through the city late at night
and once went right through a red light because i didn't notice 
it among all the LPS street lights.  Since then, i've seen
two other drivers roll right through red lights at night
in Long Beach.

Do any traffic people out there have any info on accidents
on streets with LPS lights vs other types of lights?

			SIEGE MAILING LIST
		   (Plan, hopes and dreams....)

	The siege mailing list is intended for the discussion of
pre-black powder methods of attack and defence of fortified positions. 
While the discussion of the downfall of the great siege engines caused
by the advent of portable, and powerful cannons, is important, I would
like this to be somewhat minimized.

	My thoughts is that this would be used to discuss the myriad of
topics applicable.

	Physics			Mechanics
	Materials		Construction
	Transportation		Terminology
	Historic evidence of use  - Manuscripts
				  - Texts
				  - Archaeological data

	Historical reconstruction
	Common myths, and misconceptions
	and so on.


	I would also like to be able to compile a database of books,
references, and data for later use.

	
	I would like to ask all who wish to participate, to try to
re-define the commonly (incorrectly) used words such as catapult and ballista.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
		Instructions for siege mailing list

To get onto the siege mailing list, just follow these real simple
directions.... hey, I got them right!  

Send mail to :    siege-request@bransle.ucs.mun.ca

That's it!

Then to mail to siege simply mail your articles to:
siege@bransle.ucs.mun.ca

Don't forget, "i" before "e" except after "c".  :)

The affairs of the list will be archived on the FTP site at

I will post them here if I get a lot of requests, but would prefer not to

A fairly lively discussion has been going on in sci.research

	ARCHAEOLOGY IN W.VA. AT RISK, RESEARCHERS SAY

MARTINSBURG (AP) -- A law that governs the treatment of ancient burial sites
is threatening the future of archaeological research in West Virginia, the
president of the state Archeological Society said.

"The original intent of the law was to protect ancient burial sites, but what
it has evolved into is anti-archeology," said Jerrel Anderson of Veinna [WV].

The law, enacted in 1990, requires archaeologists to obtain a state permit
before they can excavate any site.

"In order to excavate, you must first get permission from the property owner;
then you must apply to the state for a permit to dig on that man's property
who just gave you permission," Anderson said.

"A lot of property owners just don't want to get involved with the state,"
he said.

Anderson said two potential excavation sites in Parkersburg have already been
denied because the owners did not want to deal with the state bureaucracy.

Anderson's group and another organization, the Council for West Virginia 
Archaeology, filed suit last August to have the law thrown out. A Kanawha
County Circuit judge ruled against them and they are appealing the case to
the state Supreme Court.

"We just want to reach a situation that is agreeable to all sides. That  
history is all our history," Anderson said.

The court challenge centers on the excavation of the 2,000-year-old Cotiga
Indian mound in Mingo County.

The state hired GAI Consultants of Pittsburgh for $1.8 million to excavate
the mound but restricted the dig with rules with which Anderson disagreed.

"The public was entirely excluded from the site even though the $1.8 million
came directly from the taxpayers," he said.

In addition, all artifacts will be reburied instead of being kept for study
or museum display, he said.

"You can learn a lot from these bones. Diseases, the diet at the time and 
physical features," Anderson said. "But that opportunity is lost."

The law and the Cotiga restrictions resulted from a protest over the Cotiga
dig by the West Virginia Committee on Native American Archaeological and 
Burial Policies.

The arachaeology groups, in their lawsuit, dispute the Indian group's claim
of direct lineage from the mound builders and challenges its authority in 
setting restrictions of excavations.

Hello.

	I've got some friends who plan to record a great deal of archeological
data over the next few years, and they want to take advantage of PC technology to help them with the data capture if they can.

	Now, I'd like to help them, but I know little about archeology or PCs,
hence this request.

	In the long run, one can imagine a lot of ambitious multimedia stuff,
but in the short term, something humbler would suffice.   The requirements
seem to be:

	(1) works using a PC, perhaps laptop.   They will be working from a
boat, so a power supply is available.

	(2) good, easy word processor

	(3) integrated transparently with database

	(4) (the ambitious bit, but to my mind a key requirement) the ability
to draw sketches of a region, or a site, and for there to be hot spots one can
click on to enter (or get access to) data about a particular feature.   Some
kind of Paintbox technology, plus the hot spots facility would save an awful
lot of mind-numbingly dull text descriptions.

	What software configuration would you suggest to address these
requirements?    Are there any bits of freeware which would help?   Are there
any points that I should be aware of in putting together a system for my
friends?

Thanks for your time,
Andrew.
