Interesting, but I still maintain that one of the secret goals of the march was to destroy public records. After all even the march was conducted as a secret mission that even the President didn't know the full details about. Question; if you could ask those who fought for Tennessee (CSA) after the war when the then Northern sponsored Gov. attempted to get the 14th amendment passed. Ask them how fair they though they were dealt with when the firing squad was told to fire! Granted they were not shot (sound a lot like water boarding to me) and then forced to attend so they could be counted but not allowed to vote (summer 1866 post Civil War). Or ask the widows who were raped and then killed during the war or during the march. Or ask the families of those who were captured during the reconstruction period, forced or asked to take an oath to the USA only to be executed afterwards. Not everyone agrees that Sherman was such a noble fighter. Just one example you can find if you search for it came from Wikipedia: "Sherman's scorched earth policies have always been highly controversial, and Sherman's memory has long been reviled by many Southerners. Slaves' opinions varied concerning the actions of Sherman and his army. Those slaves who welcomed him as a liberator left their plantations to follow his armies. Jacqueline Campbell has written, on the other hand, that some slaves looked upon the Federal army's ransacking and invasive actions with disdain. They felt betrayed, as they "suffered along with their owners". These particular slaves often remained loyal to the Southern way of life, and continued to care for the land and families to which they were tied. As for the fate of those slaves who chose to flee their plantations and follow Sherman's army, a Confederate officer estimated that 10,000 followed, and hundreds died of "hunger, disease, or exposure" along the way." From this I would say that Sherman was not so noble nor honest. After asking slaves to join his army, when the going got rough (short supplies etc...) he abandoned then to starve or go back home. As far as methods of war and what is acceptable and not, most of the examples you cite have been used of examples of armies that have been out of control. I really don't think I would use Hitler or his army as an example of acceptable methods of war. I would also say that the USA is not guilt free either but using their past actions to justify behavior is very dangerous. After all following the urban terrorism example of Sherman the KKK terrorized the people of Arkansas in order to promote and force their will on the general public. And what about the problems in Texas with Lee and Peacock. 7 Years post war and the North was still trying to control the South. In 1871 when Grant requested Federal troops to again fight the south, the north was not for it. If Sherman was successful, then why was the fighting still going on 7 years later? TAD99 |

Dancing outside the saloon,
they toss pennies at his feet.
On his harmonica he plays,
a tune, off key, up beat.
On his head of sparse grey hair,
he sports an old top hat.
His tattered coat of tailored tails,
frames a frayed and worn cravat.
On a thin frame the tux does hang,
his pants, held up with twine.
You can't help, but to think,
he is from another time.
Come rain or shine, he is there.
Tip of his hat to all the girls.
He gives a nod of thanks at each sound,
as round his feet, the pennies swirl.
Silent tears, relieved in ink,
on paper smooth and cool.
Heart and hand now work in synch,
as strong emotions duel.
There on the parchment you lie,
naked, for all to see.
You heave a deep cleansing sigh.
At last, you can believe.
Word by word you come alive,
a healing balm takes form.
Before long, you realize,
a stronger you is born.
As a flag, left to the ravages of wind and sun,
so too my soul, stands tattered and ravaged.
My visage now a faded memory
of once courageous colors.
My voice no longer crisp, nor upbeat.
But weak and undefined.
No longer do I instill nor evoke,
a sense of power or purpose.
I am easily dismissed as useless, unnecessary.
Yes, once I was the strong flag,
that laughed in the wind with a quick
snap and whip crack determination.
That was years and many storms ago.
Now, I give into the wind,
with a defeated wave
and the sound of a sigh.
It was a lifetime ago...just yesterday,
when rain fell softly upon my face.
That spoke to me of younger years,
with all my innocence thus encased.
I could feel the rainbow...just out of reach,
all the colors of moments passed.
Where truths were lies and lies believed,
countless, as grains in an hourglass.
I can bear forth the torch...yet not burn the eyes,
to scald away truth's stench and decay.
Why can't we hold to the dreams of youth,
that was a lifetime ago...just yesterday?
Eyes the color of twilight hours,
looks down from a canvas throne.
Captured for an eternity,
her languid form, in repose.
Queen of all she surveys,
within these crumbling walls.
Moth eaten Brocade, silk spider's web.
Marble stairs and dank halls.
Once the matriarch of a dynasty,
that lived beneath this roof.
She still exerts her own will,
as watches, uncaring, aloof.
She is within the very mortar,
that binds these ancient stones.
Her blood is on the very air,
that chills you to the bone.
The floors and she are now as one.
Listen! You can hear her footsteps.
There within the mournful wind,
hear her laughter where she once slept.
The ballroom still hosts soiree's.
Muted music of bygone years play.
While in the South Rose parlor,
you can feel her pull take sway.
She will conjole and pout,
until you agree to stay.
Then she'll lead you to the cellar,
where all her guests must pay.
These windows, on a stormy night,
show shadows walking by.
Tattered curtains fall into place,
while evil hides from prying eyes.
But do not feed the impulse,
to enter and investigate.
For within these walls, her spirit dwells
and for fresh blood, she lies in wait.
Within the quiet of the night,
amid the shadows of my pain,
the strength I held so fast to,
ebbs, as another tear does gain.
With out the giving of consent,
it brings forth a fellow traveler.
To follow a chaotic coarse,
across my cheeks, twilight pallor.
Bare of conscience thought, I brush aside,
the meaning each holds alone.
I hide behind my false bravado,
as my tears dry on their own.
Behind the rough and gruff facade,
amongst the sternness and the pride.
Along with calloused hands and the scars
A little boy still resides.
in spite of responsibilities,
the hard days, daily grind.
There within a man full grown,
that little boy still hides.
In the crooked grin, stuck out chin,
mischievous twinkle of the eyes.
Crazy antics, chances taken,
a little boy joy rides.
Eat one more cookie before dinner,
spend all weekend, playing outside.
Put off mowing the lawn one more day,
that little boy decides.
Work extra hours to pay the bills,
don't let that "Honey do" list slide.
Do anything to see me smile,
His little boy is justified.
I am a poets journal,
in trust of verse that has been tilled.
Plying emotions that play eternal,
on pages not yet filled.
Joy will sometimes overflow,
on pages not yet filled.
Perhaps to reap what it is I sow,
of thoughts not yet spilled.
As myself, I struggle to rebuild,
some eyes still see my weakness.
On pages not yet filled,
you can almost feel my bleakness.
There is no stopping memories,
even if my heart should still.
Look beyond that which binds me,
on pages not yet filled.
How do you feel anger,
when you won't allow it to feed?
You don't attempt to digest it,
give yourself the release you need.
How do you feel joy,
when only hollowness prevails?
Existing is what you do,
when life for you has failed.
How do you socialize,
when alone is all you need?
when behind the doors is safe,
no interaction is now your creed.
How do you feel anything,
when its all been stripped away?
Placed somewhere deep inside,
away from the light of day.
How do you explain all this,
to those that walk not your path?
When to them it is so easy,
to feel, live and laugh.
This, I do so, willingly.
Without reservations of the heart.
I offer my shoulder to thy wheel,
my strength, to thus impart.
My voice, I lend to your cause.
Champion, to which you undertake.
My arms, I spread to encompass,
kith and kin, you now care take.
A heart, that beats strong and true.
That has known joy and felt deep weeping.
One, so full of love for you,
I give, unto your keeping.
If there were the need so great,
as to sacrifice completely.
My life, I 'd give, for yours to spare.
This I do, so willingly.
There's a party going on upstairs,
your invited, to come and have a scare.
H.G. Wells, will meet you at the gate,
costumes required, hurry don't be late.
Vincent Price will be tonights D.J.
Halloween is his favorite Holiday.
He's spinning "Thriller", while dressed up as "Kiss".
Watching Claude Rains do the "Transylvania Twist".
Steve McQueen came dressed up as the "Blob",
he's serving up the zombie shish-ka-bobs.
Elsa Lanchester placed real bats within her hair.
While Marty Feldman keeps yelling "Frau Blucher".
At the stroke of the witching hour,
St. Peter amps up all the power.
A disco ball drops down from a cloud.
Out on the dance floor, forms a massive crowd.
Michael Jackson then leads them all in dance,
while Lon Chaney and Karloff take their chance,
to join the angels in harmony,
While "Monster Mash" is sang by Lugosi.
Even the Devil made it through the door.
He's the one sporting an Elvis pompadour.
So much fun is had by one and all,
at Heavens Annual Halloween Ball
Sweet death, have me tarry not,
greet me, for comes the morn.
Cheat the sun, that I may sleep,
complete as if ne'er born.
Entreat, do I, your embrace.
Defeat my heartbeat this night.
Meet me mid a last dreaming,
secrete this soul from sight
Amid the blending shadows of night,
we liberate reality's sight.
We seep into a realm of no boundaries,
where we feel fear, lust and misery.
We are now entrenched deep within,
a dimension of our mind called REM.
Where meanings to the visions snake,
into past and present, til we wake.
We stand aside as scenes play out,
while sanity, our id's, now doubt.
Where colors leech, yet blood runs red
and all inhibitions now are shed.
Rewinding moments and memories past,
watching how it was, our lots were cast.
We see those that are long since dead,
we stand before doors, options of dread.
That twist of imaginational delusion,
that gives rise to philosophical conclusions.
We were in a place, that never was.
But to our horror, exist, it does.
And in the dawn that follows dreams,
is revealed the truth of what we've seen.
In that lightening moment of lucidity,
we see within, our own frailties.
Scraps of lumber, a touch of paint,
with love, became a home.
To the smallest of the birds,
that to our yard would roam.
In his basement workshop,
Grandpa would spend hours.
With his hand saw, brace and bit,
no use of electric power.
At each rip of the saw,
I'd hear that familiar sound.
I'd watch as sawdust drifted,
like pixie dust, to the ground.
With blackened nails and hammer,
he'd assemble the bird houses.
Then he'd paint them brightly,
adding curliques and flounces.
A bit of wire in a hook,
then hung in the Pear tree.
Filled our mornings with the song,
from the Finches and Chick-a-dees.
Like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle,
closed up tight within a box.
My memories lay scattered.
Some are even lost.
Mixed in with those memories,
are events that shaped my world.
Tangled, twisted, interwoven.
Like so many cheap strands of pearls.
Reach right in and pull out "Roller Skates",
one that might have a smooth edge.
But stuck to it might be "courage",
as I faced report card day with dread.
Grab up the piece that shows "kiss".
The first one with my boyfriend.
Underneath is disappointment,
as he chose another girl, by days end.
Dig around an you'll find "Trust".
lying beneath "Corporate Bile".
It seems to be stuck into,
the notch of "Legal Files".
There, in the bottom layer,
sits "goals", though now quite ragged.
From having been bumped, rubbed raw,
it's borders are now jagged.
Somehow "Life's Lessons", though quite large,
Tends to, at times, elude my grip.
It shuffles down between the layers,
affording me a glimpse of its tip.
Each mismatched piece represents,
a moment, I've put away.
There within the puzzle box,
to be recalled another day
Sprinkled 'round is the shade
beneath the dieing tree.
Leaning to the left a bit,
almost upon it's knees.
As if begging for the water,
that from its crown it can see.
The home now vacant, foreclosed,
the landscape left thirsty.
it's not just families that suffer,
in this upside down economy.
Not a cloud in the sky,
Sunday chicken set to fry.
That is how I recall those Summer days.
Playing ball just for fun,
ice cream when the day is done..
Watching my freckles pop out from the suns rays
Colorful kites in the air,
Daisy chain in my hair.
Over and over in my memory it plays.
It was more than a childhood,
that Mom, Grandma, Grandpa gave to me.
It was more than a childhood.
It was a gift of, precious memories
Playing Barbie's on the porch,
Grandpa in his Bermuda shorts.
Big Band music on the stereo.
Playing tag with my brother Steve,
Ed Sullivan on T.V.
Listening while sister practiced her piano.
Swimming in our little plastic pool,
watching Grandpa work with tools.
Seems we were always having fights with pillows.
It was more than a childhood,
That Mom, Grandma, Grandpa gave to me.
It was more than a childhood.
It was a gift, of precious memories.
Slip and slides in the grass,
cold iced tea in a tall glass.
Runnin' barefoot through the neighborhood.
Gram making strawberry jam,
Hear Grandpa cheer a grand slam.
On our swing set we'd go as high as we could.
Walks down to the Rexall drug Store,
we were never, ever bored.
I know now, what back then, I never understood.
It was more than just a childhood,
that Mom, Grandma, Grandpa gave to me.
It was more than a short childhood.
It was a lifetime gift of precious memories.
She played one more time for Papa,
as to make the Angels weep.
His frail, arthritic hand,
upon the bed rail, tapped a beat.
His rhuemy eyes in sunken cheeks,
never waivers from her face.
His blue lips in silent tribute,
sang the words to Amazing Grace.
Her eyes closed to the rapture,
her Violin did sing.
She did not see, yet she felt,
when Papa stopped breathing.
Amid the grace of quiet stones,
a stroll down pebbled path.
There within a forgotten time,
behind an iron latch.
Stands now in aged seclusion,
of monuments to grief.
A countenance in marble cast,
beautiful Angel in soft relief.
Heavenly comfort emanates,
a coronal healing swath.
Winged guardian to souls now passed,
sempiternal keepers of the watch.
Beyond yon roof, of sod and thatch
Beyond yon door, of wood and latch
Beyond the reach of man's morals
Beyond yon hedge of thicket Laurels
Dwells a creature in forest veil
Dwells one, that lives, beyond the pale
Dwells, who takes victims with care
Dwells, who with, blank eye does stare
Watch, it does, from beneath the moon
Watch, it does, from shadows bestrewn
Watch, it has intent to bespell
Watch and feel its brace impel
Whilst, I hold, dreams sempiternal
Whilst, I invite, days be final
Whilst, I take last, sweet breath
Whilst, I embrace my lover....Death

Post-1980 US data trace out a stable long-run money demand relationship of Cagan's semi-log form between the M1-income ratio and the nominal interest rate, with an interest semielasticity below 2. Integrating under this money demand curve yields estimates of the welfare costs of modest departures from Friedman's zero nominal interest rate rule for the optimum quantity of money that are quite small. The results suggest that the Federal Reserve's current policy, which generates low but still positive rates of inflation, provides an adequate approximation in welfare terms to the alternative of moving all the way to the Friedman rule.

Report of the Panel to Review EOSDIS Plans
On September 28, 1992, Chair Charles A. Zraket sent the following letter report to NASA
Administrator Daniel S. Goldin.
I am pleased to submit this letter report of the National Research Council's Panel to
Review Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS) Plans. This
letter is based on NASA's responses to the panel's Interim Report of April 9, 1992, two
meetings of the full panel (May 15 and July 27-29, 1992), and several discussions
between panel representatives and administration officials and congressional staff.
By mutual agreement with NASA, as well as with the Office of Science and Technology
Policy, the Office of Management and Budget, and the National Space Council, the panel
will now suspend its activities. Agency officials and the panel agreed in July that because
a contractor had not been selected for the core system of EOSDIS, the panel could not
complete its work. In particular, without knowledge of the critical details of the work to be
done by the contractor, the panel cannot respond fully to the questions posed in its terms
of reference. The panel remains willing to reconvene once the necessary information is
publicly available.1
The purpose of this letter is to reiterate and elaborate the panel's April 1992
recommendations on several critical areas that require concerted action over the next five
to six months if the EOSDIS development program is to proceed on a course that
eventually can meet the needs of the Global Change Research Program. The three
critical areas are:
1. The development of EOSDIS as an integral part of the Global Change Data and
Information System (GCDIS)—in contrast to a program oriented solely to EOS.
NASA is to be commended for its recognition of the critical importance of EOSDIS to the
success of the Global Change Research Program. This recognition is reflected in the
early and substantial funding for EOSDIS and in NASA's involvement of a broad segment
of the prospective user community. The panel is also encouraged by the response to its
Interim Report from Drs. Lennard Fisk and Dixon Butler. They stated that NASA intends
to implement many of the panel's recommendations, including those that addressed the
enhanced development of the GCDIS in conjunction with other agencies and the
formulation of Distributed Active Archive Center (DAAC) development teams that will
include representatives from the user communities. Nevertheless, ensuring the success
of the program and realizing the benefit of the early and significant funding are now
dependent on NASA's establishing firm and specific plans and budgets for the
development and operation of the GCDIS, in conjunction with other agencies.
2. The formation, within NASA, of the management structure and the assembly of
skills needed to execute the EOSDIS program and to assure its integration into
GCDIS. The panel is concerned by the lack of response to and action on to its previous
recommendations to strengthen the management—both administrative and technical—of
the EOSDIS program. In particular, the panel is concerned that its recommendations for
substantial organizational changes in the EOSDIS program seem to have been ignored
by management at the Goddard Space Flight Center. The panel believes that, unless
these management deficiencies are addressed immediately, the EOSDIS program has a
high risk of failure.
3. The need to strengthen the computer science dimension of the project. The
panel believes that EOSDIS must be supported by an appropriate computer science
research program at a level much greater than currently planned. The panel points out
that the costs of an expanded computer science effort would still be a small part of the
OCR for page 1
planned EOSDIS budget, yet could potentially save major costs by avoiding possibly
flawed decisions due to inadequate involvement of computer scientists.
Further details about these three critical areas—emphasizing development of a GCDIS,
strengthening management, and adequately providing for the role of computer science—
are provided below.
The data essential to fulfilling the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research
objectives of the Global Change Research Program are widely distributed among
national and international agencies. That reality has been recognized by the effort to
create a Global Change Data and Information System (GCDIS) by the federal agencies
that constitute the Committee on Earth and Environmental Sciences. The purpose of the
GCDIS to simplify the task of obtaining and using data related to global change. The
panel believes that EOSDIS must be structured and managed as an integral part of the
GCDIS, so that current and future data related to global change collected by NASA and
by other national and international organizations are available in an integrated form to all
global change research scientists.
These data reside in a variety of media formats and physical locations. Thus, it is
essential to have coherent methods for data access that are simple, transparent, and
inexpensive to users and that operate at a variety of levels. Providing such methods is a
major management challenge. Currently, the GCDIS is being planned in the United
States through an interagency group and is intended to exploit the resources and
responsibilities of each agency. However, the agencies have widely differing capabilities
in information systems technology and management; some lack the necessary resources
and finances. Thus, it is not at all certain that, given the complexity and cost of the
development effort, a unified and effective GCDIS will emerge. Since NASA is already
moving ahead aggressively with EOSDIS, the panel recommends that NASA assume the
lead role to plan the overall GCDIS and to develop the system architecture and network
for a truly distributed, interoperable, interagency data system. In doing so, NASA must
lead in forming partnerships with the other agencies, including international ones, to
develop and operate the various parts of the GCDIS. Such partnerships require
continuing dialogue and agreements early on, especially with respect to the operational
and funding responsibilities of each participating agency. To facilitate agency cooperation,
a national directive should give NASA the leadership role for planning and developing the
The principles for a national data policy adopted as part of the interagency GCDIS3
incorporate the concept of full international cooperation, both for setting priorities and for
establishing standards. The principles are similar to those adopted by the international
community as represented by the international Committee on Earth Observation
Satellites, the Data and Information System of the International Geosphere-Biosphere
Programme, and the World Data Centre System of the International Council of Scientific
Unions. The panel endorses this recognition of the international aspect of data
management and urges that EOSDIS fully incorporate those principles into its operation.
Having the lead role for implementing GCDIS, NASA will need to obtain a consensus
among the participating federal agencies on an implementation strategy. Further, NASA
should be prepared to assist other agencies in the design, development, and provision of
common GCDIS software, database structures, and technical infrastructure for an
interoperable network. Each agency, however, should be responsible for funding the
operation and maintenance of its portion of the GCDIS as well as for procuring its own
hardware and unique applications software, given that each agency will use the data for
other purposes in addition to research on global climate change. The agencies must
strive to obtain the funds necessary to accomplish these tasks. Such funds are quite
OCR for page 1
modest compared to the total government investment in the EOS program and, indeed,
the entire observational effort required for global change research. It must be kept in
mind that the agencies each have resources that are vital to achieving a successful
GCDIS; for example, NOAA now has the preponderance of data essential to a GCDIS.
NASA must also develop a philosophy and an overall plan to govern archiving activities
and to ensure user input to decisions that affect data retention and the transfer of
archiving responsibilities to other agencies. Further, EOSDIS is unlikely to become the
vehicle by which a GCDIS evolves if NASA tries to replicate the diversity and volume of
databases residing throughout the agencies. It is crucial, therefore, that NASA nurture the
active participation of the agencies within the EOSDIS framework.
NASA's EOSDIS Science Data Plan, issued in May 1992, recognizes the significance of
NOAA's in situ and space-based climate data and proposes that these data be archived
at NASA's DAACs.4 The panel believes, however, that NASA should not try to duplicate
NOAA's database within NASA's DAACs. Instead, the panel recommends that NASA
expand by two the number of DAACs, to include NOAA's space-based and in situ data in
a truly interoperable, interagency distributed information system, similar to its
incorporation of DAACs from the USGS (Earth Resources Observation System, EROS)
and from the DOE (the newly established Oak Ridge National Laboratory DAAC).
These NOAA data sets will be critical for adequate interpretation of EOS observations
because they enable validation of results and provide a historical baseline to distinguish
between natural and anthropogenic climate change. Again, NASA should not duplicate
other agencies' databases, but rather should support their inclusion by developing a
GCDIS—a truly interoperable, interagency data and information system.
NASA agreements with participating agencies should be formulated soon; otherwise, it
will be difficult for EOSDIS to evolve as a major part of the GCDIS in a coherent and cost-
effective way. Effective response will depend critically on federal leadership to assure
that each agency participates as a full partner in developing plans and resources for
handling its data, supporting its data centers, and facilitating its connection to EOSDIS.
The panel remains concerned with the inadequacy of EOSDIS Project management at
the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Some of the key concerns expressed in the
panel's Interim Report have either not been understood or cannot be addressed within
the existing organizational structure. While the panel again judges the current EOSDIS
Project staff to be highly dedicated and technically able, the reality is that the EOSDIS
Project does not have the requisite visibility and organizational stature, or the necessary
full complement of senior, experienced management and technical staff. Specifically, the
project requires management experienced in building complex, integrated data systems
costing in the billion-dollar range. Furthermore, EOSDIS is a large-scale distributed
information system with goals that extend beyond the EOS flight components. Proper
architectural design, technical decision making, and technical risk management must
take into account the overall goals of GCDIS. Despite its importance, EOSDIS currently is
managed at the GSFC as a standard flight project. Such an approach is unlikely to:
• Incorporate the necessary types and levels of information systems expertise;
• Allow for adequate user involvement in decision-making processes; and
• Provide the infrastructure to attract the expertise and the experienced personnel
required to manage a project of this magnitude.
The panel believes that a continued "business as usual" approach will pose serious and
unacceptable risks to the successful design, development, and implementation of
OCR for page 1
EOSDIS and certainly of GCDIS. The panel has seen no indication in its discussions with
GSFC management that the required changes will be made.
The panel thus recommends that a comprehensive review of the management approach
be undertaken immediately. It believes that several ideas should be considered:
• The EOSDIS Project should be elevated to report to the GSFC director and should
be independent from the management of the EOS flight components;
• The EOSDIS Project organization should include a leadership role for practicing
senior earth observation scientists respected in their research communities;
• The EOSDIS Project staff should have past experience in managing distributed
information systems similar in scale to EOSDIS and should include a highly
experienced leader of a systems architecture team, a leader greatly experienced in
managing the acquisition of large-scale information systems, and senior computer
scientists respected in their research communities; and
• The EOSDIS Project Office should contain a specific group charged with
maintaining liaison with other agencies and countries involved in global change
research in order to facilitate the evolution of the GCDIS.
The panel stresses the need for a strengthened system architecture group in the EOSDIS
Project Office to help define an overall information system design that meets user needs
and to ensure that detailed design decisions reflect this vision. The panel believes that
the EOSDIS Project does not now have such a design philosophy and is relying on the
contractor to provide it. For example, in response to a request for a statement of "design
criteria," the panel received a list of good software engineering practices that could not be
used to distinguish a distributed system from a centralized one, much less to guide the
development of a system intended to focus on facilitating global change research. The
necessary criteria should be crisply stated, should be user oriented, and should serve to
guide day-to-day decision making. Such decisions would include defining important
system interfaces and determining the need of end-users for commercial off-the-shelf
software versus new specially designed software. The panel believes that a well-defined
set of design criteria is an essential management tool.
Computer scientists must be intimately involved in the development of EOSDIS as well
as in EOSDIS Project management decision making. NASA seems to have assumed that
by monitoring developments in the commercial sector, it will be able to obtain technology
for long-term archiving, network technology, graphics, and other applications. The panel
does not agree with this approach. It is likely that adequate hardware and software
technology for data storage and retrieval and for data transfer will be available for the
initial version of the system. However, the size, complexity, and heterogeneity of the
global change data sets will certainly require the development of specialized technology
for information management and intelligent query, retrieval, and correlation. The panel
concludes that maintaining planned costs and schedules will be jeopardized if EOSDIS is
implemented without funding a complementary computer science research program. The
project must be prepared to sponsor such research to make long-term enhancements
The challenges and importance of EOSDIS warrant an investment by NASA in computer
science research. In discussions with NASA, the panel has seen increased appreciation
of this point but also has observed a misperception of what computer science research is,
who does it, and what its payoff is. It is important for NASA to distinguish between
research computer scientists and practitioners who are not necessarily researchers. The
computer scientists that the panel recommends be brought into the program are active in
developing understanding of computing activities, through mathematics and models,
based on theory and abstraction.5

Although supporting computer science research will be a cost factor, the panel believes
that NASA runs a greater risk and may potentially incur even greater expense by not
supporting such research. The development and continuing evolution of EOSDIS can be
facilitated, and major cost savings achieved, if NASA will now invest in a serious program
of computer science research in areas relevant to EOSDIS and GCDIS. NASA should:
• Bring into advisory panels representation from the computer science research
• Develop a computer science research program that includes a mix of in-house and
external personnel who represent the best the research computer science community
has to offer. It is important that a critical mass of expertise be assembled.6
On behalf of the panel, I wish to thank all of those at NASA who responded quickly and
professionally to the questions submitted by panel members. I would especially like to
thank Drs. Fisk and Butler for their responsiveness in devoting much time to useful
discussions with the panel on the substance and needs of the program. The panel looks
forward to your comments on its recommendations.
Signed by
Charles A. Zraket
Chair, Panel to Review EOSDIS Plans
NASA, in its Statement on Earth Data System Proposals of August 20, 1992, directed
the offerers to submit revised cost estimates. Specifically, the NASA announcement
stated that "the government's analysis clearly indicates that the offerers significantly
underestimated the cost of the respective technical approaches. Accordingly, NASA is
unwilling to select an offerer for further negotiations leading to award of a contract."
NASA had directed the offerers to submit revised cost estimates by the end of August
1992, with a contract to be awarded by the end of September 1992.
The National Space Policy Directive issued by the White House on June 5, 1992, indeed
seems to support the eventual integration of NASA data systems into GCDIS, by giving
NASA lead responsibility for "Space-based Global Change Observation System"
U.S. Global Change Data and Information Management Program Plan, Committee on
Earth and Environmental Sciences, 1992. An NRC review of the initial plans for GCDIS is
described in The 1992 Data Forum: A Review of a Federal Plan for Managing Global
Change Data and Information (National Academy Press, Washington, D.C., 1992).
Science Data Plan for the EOS Data and Information System Covering EOSDIS Version
0 and Beyond, Document Version 1.0, May 1992, Goddard Space Flight Center.
The new NRC report on computer science and engineering, Computing the Future: A
Broader Agenda for Computer Science and Engineering (National Academy Press,
Washington, D.C., 1992), notes that:
. . . the "science" in "computer science and engineering" connotes understanding of
computing activities, through mathematical and engineering models and based on theory
and abstraction. . . . Computer scientists and engineers focus on information, on the
ways of representing and processing information, and on the machines and systems that
perform the tasks. (p. 19)
Defining what is meant by a "critical mass" is difficult to do. However, the Panel suggests
that, based on considerable experience in many projects, an investment of a few percent
of a project's Research and Development funds would be a useful way to proceed. Such
OCR for page 1
an investment would provide for, perhaps, 20 to 30 independent computer science
researchers to carry out an effective research program that supports EOSDIS

*SOLD* 94 Toyota pickup SAS
I need to get rid of my project. It's a 94 Toyota pickup, front solid axle swap is complete including high steer kit that is brand new (installed but never used). I made motor mounts for a 350sbc (I'm sure they will work with a 305 and 4.3). I also made a trans cross member for a turbo 350 trans and 208 transfer case (included in sale). I also made a custom 3 inch cowl hood out of the original. Still needs to be lifted in the rear, and motor is not included in the sale (but as always money talks). Asking $1000 for the rolling chassis, trans and t-case.
Possible trades, partial trades.. Lift kit, long arm kit for a 98 ZJ Nice black wheels and 33inch all terrains (jeep bolt pattern) Camaro or firebird in need of a motor V-8 powered boat in need of a motor Wave runner Street bike Economy car Any other ideas let me know.... http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...j/IMAG0047.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...j/IMAG0046.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...j/IMAG0045.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...j/IMAG0048.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...j/IMAG0049.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...j/IMAG0051.jpg http://i1195.photobucket.com/albums/...j/IMAG0044.jpg Last edited by TAZ03DAK; September 28th, 2011 at 06:44 PM.

I'd be willing to throw in the motor (355 sbc vortech) if someone would be willing to trade a speed boat or fast car or waverunner. All offers and trades considered, let me know if your interested and maybe we can make a deal.

Just an FYI. The trans you have will not work for a SBC. That is for the Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Caddilac blocks.

Kenny Rogers was born August 21, 1938, in Houston, Texas. Rogers released The Gambler in 1978. The title track became another huge country and pop hit and gave Rogers his second Grammy Award. In addition to his solo work, Rogers recorded a series of hits with country legend Dottie West. By this time, he was a true crossover artist, enjoying enormous success on both the country and pop charts.
Early Career
Singer and songwriter Kenneth Donald Rogers was born on August 21, 1938, in Houston, Texas. Rogers grew up poor, living with his parents and six siblings in a federal housing project. By high school, he knew that he wanted to pursue a music career. He bought himself a guitar, and started a group called the Scholars. The band had a rockabilly sound and scored a few local hits. Breaking out on his own, Rogers recorded the 1958 hit single, "That Crazy Feeling," for the Carlton label. He even got to perform the song on the popular music program American Bandstand. Changing genres, Rogers then played bass with the Bobby Doyle Trio, a jazz group.
Moving on to folk-pop style, Rogers was asked to join the New Christy Minstrels in 1966. He left after a year, along with a few other members of the group, to form the First Edition. Fusing folk, rock, and country, the group quickly scored a hit with the psychedelic "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)." The band soon became known as Kenny Rogers and the First Edition and landed their own syndicated music show. They scored a few more hits, such as Mel Tillis' "Ruby, Don't Take Your Love to Town."
Mainstream Success
In 1974, Rogers left the group to go solo again. He decided to focus his energy on country music and "Love Lifted Me" became his first solo top 20 country hit in 1975. Two years later, Rogers reached the top of the country charts with the mournful ballad "Lucille," about a man being left by his wife. The song also did well on the pop charts, making it into the top 5. It also brought Rogers his first Grammy Award—this time for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
Quickly following up this success, Rogers released The Gambler in 1978. The title track became another huge country and pop hit and gave Rogers his second Grammy Award. He also showed his tender side on the recording with the popular ballad "She Believes in Me." Kenny (1979) featured such hits as "Coward of the County" and "You Decorated My Life." Around this time, he wrote the advice book Making It With Music: Kenny Rogers' Guide to the Music Business (1978).
In addition to his solo work, Rogers recorded a series of hits with country legend Dottie West. The two reached the top of the country charts with "Every Time Two Fools Collide" (1978), "All I Ever Need Is You" (1979) and "What Are We Doin' In Love" (1981). Also in 1981, Rogers held the No. 1 spot on the pop charts for six weeks with his version of Lionel Richie's "Lady."
By this time, Rogers was a true crossover artist, enjoying enormous success on both the country and pop charts.

The Clinical Endocrinology Service at the University of Tennessee, College of Veterinary Medicine provides adrenal, thyroid, and reproductive hormone testing for dogs and cats, as well as for several other species. Our Service has gained a national and international reputation for providing adrenal steroid profile testing. The adrenal steroid profiles (also known as adrenal panels) are determined in dogs, cats, ferrets, and rabbits that are suspected of having adrenal disease. These profiles provide a more complete evaluation of adrenocortical function by assessing hormone concentrations that arise from different parts of the hormone synthesis pathway. Classically, most adrenal function tests in animals involve the measurement of only cortisol however in some individuals these tests give normal cortisol results even though the animal has clinical signs suggestive of hyperadrenocorticism. Our Clinical Endocrinology Service is the only veterinary diagnostic laboratory in the United States to offer an adrenal steroid profile test in dogs, cats and rabbits and was the first to offer this test in ferrets.

Rated 4 / 5 stars April 6, 2012
Overall well animated, my kudos for your progress!
Perfect sound choice in my eyes (or... ears, to be correct) and an interesting storyline, though it is a tad bit emo, but not too much.
Since this is obviously one part of a longer story, I would like to see a prequel (what or who is this heartless demon? why is he chasing the boy?) and also a sequel (why is the girl saving the boy? Where does she bring him to? what will happen next?) .
hahahaha yes, I will continue with the story, and well.. yes some people will see this a little bit emo but this is like.. gotic, that is almost the same xd but Im not a emo hahahaha tankyou for the coment :)
Rated 4 / 5 stars April 5, 2012
I liked the story the music and the graphics,
very good animation.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars April 5, 2012
I'm clueless...So I'll rate it on the animation.
A bit choppy, but like you said, your getting better. Maybe you should try to expand your plot an add in like, a prologue in the beginning. You get a 3.5/5, or a 7/10. Good show.

Japanese Vegetable Carving & Japanese Jedi Order Booth
Posted By Mike on August 1, 2012
I must admit that I'm personally excited for this particular booth as I've been e-mailing back and forth with Oki and posting pictures of his veggie carving creations for years at this point. The Japanese Vegetable Carving and Japanese Jedi Order booth will not only highlight Oki's fantastic creations but will also feature the costuming and performing of the Japanese Jedi Order fan organization. The three main things fans can expect to see upon visiting the booth include:
1. Photos and videos from events and performances featuring the Japanese Jedi Order
2. The handmade
Star Wars
creations of noted Obi-Wan fan Yuki Shibaura
3. Displays, pictures and videos featuring Oki's veggie carvings - Our fingers are crossed for a live demonstration
I know all associated with the Japanese Jedi Order are extremely excited to have their own little section within the massive
Star Wars
Celebration CVI convention. Make sure to stop by, say hi, and share some
Star Wars
love. Here are some preview pictures that include Oki's latest carving. Click on the images for full views.

The incredible HTC Droid DNA Video
The incredible HTC Droid DNA Video Transcript
Hi, this is Brian Bennett for CNET.com, and today, we're taking a first look at the HTC Droid DNA for Verizon Wireless. This much-hyped handset costs $199.99, is now available for pre-order and officially ships on November 21st, just in time to spice up the holiday season. You may ask, "What's so special about the Droid DNA? Well, lots. First, the Android handset features a big 5-inch Super LCD 3 screen that's bright and boasts a sharp 1080p resolution, which HTC claims translates into 440 pixels per inch. Second, this super phone is positively packed with cutting edge hardware and software. Running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the Droid DNA is powered by a fire-breathing 1.5 gigahertz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor. For memory, there's a roomy 2 gigabytes of RAM and 16 gigabytes of internal storage. Thirdly, the Droid DNA has killer good looks. At 0.38-inch thick and a mere 0.16-inch thick at its thinnest point, this phone is extremely trim. What further enhances the Droid DNA's wafer-like dimensions is how the display's glass extends to the handset's edges. Clad in black and trimmed with red metallic stripes on either side, the DNA also has a futuristic style all its own. Above the screen is a 2-megapixel front-facing camera capable of shooting video at 1080p HD. A tiny notification light sits here, too. Below are three capacitive buttons for Android functions. The right holds a long volume bar while up top is a headphone jack, power button, and SIM card slot. Around the back is the DNA's 8-megapixel camera and LED flash. There's even a notification light here, too, the first device I've seen with one in this location. Other nice features include bit audio processing technology, the latest Sense 4+ user interface and connection to Verizon's 4G LTE data network. You can even charge the phone wirelessly if you have a charging station that uses the chip standard handy. The Droid DNA comes with a very good 8-megapixel camera that's packed with many features and shooting modes, such as an HDR mode, panorama, continuous shooting, and the ability to snap shots while recording video. So far, this phone looks like the Verizon device to beat this holiday season. But to be sure, check out our full review at CNET.com. I'm Brian Bennett, and this has been a first look at the HTC Droid DNA.

HTC Droid DNA (Verizon Wireless) Review
The good: The beautifully designed HTC Droid DNA features a quad-core processor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, 4G LTE, a sharp 5-inch screen, an excellent camera, and long battery life.
The bad: The Droid DNA's large size makes it tricky to fit in tight pockets, and it lacks both an SD card slot and a removable battery.
The bottom line: With quad-core power, 4G LTE, a lovely 5-inch screen, and a stunning design, the $199.99 HTC Droid DNA is currently Verizon's best Android deal.

Ray added that if SSAC lawyers, in cooperation with the state BOE, agree, a provision will be written into the SSAC bylaws that will move them into alignment with the federal mandate.
"If that's the case, that's what we'll do," he said.
Phares said that he reinstated Lawrence to the football team early Friday. The Tigers are idle this week, and conclude their regular season on Nov. 2 against Lewis County.
In 2010, the Supreme Court struck down Circuit Court Judge Carrie Webster's decision to grant an injunction to four South Charleston football players that overturned an SSAC-imposed suspension given to each for their roles in a late-game brawl with Hurricane. On Dec. 7, 2010, the Supreme Court issued its opinion saying that no circuit court judge has the authority to circumvent the rules of the SSAC.
But the McKinney-Vento Act is federally mandated, and takes precedent over state rulings. Phares said.
"Does the SSAC have any authority in this matter? They don't. We're only assuming that since he moved in with a guardian he's got to comply with their rules to sit out 365 days. He doesn't," Phares said.
"People are all worried about the playoffs and wins and losses, and that's not the point. Heck, if they want the wins we'll give them the wins," he added. "What the issue here is that the SSAC has not been in compliance with federal law for 10 years regarding their treatment of homeless students.
"Honestly, I'm shocked that nobody has looked at this."
A hearing for a preliminary injunction that would allow Lawrence to play is planned for next week. Phares said that he hopes it is not necessary.
"I have full belief that Mr. Ray and the folks at the SSAC will want to be in compliance on this, and if they are, he should be allowed to play," Phares said. "School systems have been working under the auspices of this for a long time. Some have challenged it and have been denied.
"It's a mandate that supersedes any state or local laws."

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
10.1.3. Preloading Perl Modules at Server Startup |
As we just explained, to get the code-sharing effect, you should preload the code before the child processes get spawned. The right place to preload modules is at server startup.
You can use the PerlRequire and PerlModule directives to load commonly used modules such as CGI.pm and DBI when the server is started. On most systems, server children will be able to share the code space used by these modules. Just add the following directives into httpd.conf:
PerlModule CGI PerlModule DBI
An even better approach is as follows. First, create a separate startup file. In this file you code in plain Perl, loading modules like this:
use DBI ( ); use Carp ( ); 1;
(When a module is loaded, it may export symbols to your package namespace by default. The empty parentheses ( ) after a module's name prevent this. Don't forget this, unless you need some of these in the startup file, which is unlikely. It will save you a few more kilobytes of memory.)
Next, require( ) this startup file in httpd.conf with the PerlRequire directive, placing the directive before all the other mod_perl configuration directives:
PerlRequire /path/to/startup.pl
As usual, we provide some numbers to prove the theory. Let's conduct a memory-usage test to prove that preloading reduces memory requirements.
To simplify the measurement, we will use only one child process. We will use these settings in httpd.conf:
MinSpareServers 1 MaxSpareServers 1 StartServers 1 MaxClients 1 MaxRequestsPerChild 100
We are going to use memuse.pl (shown in Example 10-8), an Apache::Registry script that consists of two parts: the first one loads a bunch of modules (most of which aren't going to be used); the second reports the memory size and the shared memory size used by the single child process that we start, and the difference between the two, which is the amount of unshared memory.
use strict; use CGI ( ); use DB_File ( ); use LWP::UserAgent ( ); use Storable ( ); use DBI ( ); use GTop ( ); my $r = shift; $r->send_http_header('text/plain'); my $proc_mem = GTop->new->proc_mem($$); my $size = $proc_mem->size; my $share = $proc_mem->share; my $diff = $size - $share; printf "%10s %10s %10s\n", qw(Size Shared Unshared); printf "%10d %10d %10d (bytes)\n", $size, $share, $diff;
First we restart the server and execute this CGI script with none of the above modules preloaded. Here is the result:
Size Shared Unshared 4706304 2134016 2572288 (bytes)
Now we take the following code:
use strict; use CGI ( ); use DB_File ( ); use LWP::UserAgent ( ); use Storable ( ); use DBI ( ); use GTop ( ); 1;
and copy it into the startup.pl file. The script remains unchanged. We restart the server (now the modules are preloaded) and execute it again. We get the following results:
Size Shared Unshared 4710400 3997696 712704 (bytes)
Let's put the two results into one table:
Preloading Size Shared Unshared --------------------------------------------- Yes 4710400 3997696 712704 (bytes) No 4706304 2134016 2572288 (bytes) --------------------------------------------- Difference 4096 1863680 -1859584
You can clearly see that when the modules weren't preloaded, the amount of shared memory was about 1,864 KB smaller than in the case where the modules were preloaded.
Assuming that you have 256 MB dedicated to the web server, if you didn't preload the modules, you could have 103 servers:
(Here we have used the formula that we devised earlier in this chapter.)
Now let's calculate the same thing with the modules preloaded:
You can have almost four times as many servers!!!
Remember, however, that memory pages get dirty, and the amount of shared memory gets smaller with time. We have presented the ideal case, where the shared memory stays intact. Therefore, in use, the real numbers will be a little bit different.
Since you will use different modules and different code, obviously in your case it's possible that the process sizes will be bigger and the shared memory smaller, and vice versa. You probably won't get the same ratio we did, but the example certainly shows the possibilities.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours out a darker golden brown (but is it delicious? Ba-dum tish..) in color with thirty seconds' worth of off white foam on top, no lacing, no haze. Smells of strangely metallic bread. Kind of like a freshly baked loaf of bread with pennies stuck in the crust. Flavor is incredibly sweet, just barely shy of being cloying. I'm confused, am I drinking a malt liquor or an amber here? Hop presence is vanishingly small herbal dollops spotted here and there, finish is nothing more than a gradual die-down of the sweetness with nothing there to clip it off shorter like it ought to be. Texture is on the lighter side of medium thickness, could stand to be carbonated about 20% more aggressively. I'm not really impressed with this one.

From a variety pack from a tour of the Minhas Brewery.
Poured into shaker pint glass. Slightly cloudy glowing golden orange, dark honey color with a single finger off-white head that fades quickly into a few-mm thick cap of foam.
Smell is that good old Minhas bouquet of corn and sickly sweetness, although there is an encouraging smell of yeast (nice to be able to detect an actual beer ingredient). No hops to be found.
Taste...isn't horrible. It's the best Minhas brew so far, although that's not saying much. There is some actual beer flavor, although it's still mostly muscled out by that sickly sweet corn-water flavor.
Mouthfeel is relatively thin, but has a bit of body.
Overall, this isn't awful. It's not good though. Might be able to finish this one.

This beer poured out as an orange color with a quick fading white head on top. No lacing or retention on this at all. The smell of the beer is sweet there is no real hop aroma at all. The taste is very sweet, very sweet almost gross. There is no bitterness at all. The mouthfeel of the beer is decently carbonated and just very one dimensional. Overall this beer was not impressive at all to me. Avoid this one.

This will be the last beer I will ever have from this brewery for sure!
Clear amber gold in color this one had very little tan head which disappeared right away into nothing. No lacing.
The smell is of malt and sugar.
The taste was a non pleasant malt sugar mix. Nothing desire able in it.
Never again!

The 3rd and final beer of my Minhas morning, and after the first 2 my expectations were low. Poured from a brown 12 oz. bottle. Has an amber color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is mild, some malts. Taste is disgusting, plastics, cough syrup, boiled veggies, blech. Feels light and yucky in the mouth and overall strike 3 for Minhas, this is the worst of the 3.

Clear amber, basically no head.
Caramel and malt in the nose, along with an artificial cherry flavor.
Strange metallic and cardboard notes, some malt in there somewhere.
Mouthfeel thin and flat.
It's becoming quite evident this is a brewery I will be staying away from.

Poured into a tulip glass.
Appearance: Mid Amber color. Not very cloudy, which for an amber is a good thing.
Smell: Good notes of the malts in the beer. Small notes of caramel.
Taste: Lighter amber taste. Not heavy at all. For an amber, I was hoping this would have a lot more character to it, but it was fairly bland.
Mouthfeel: Good feel, light and crisp. Not very hoppy and had some good notes of malts.
Overall: It was an ok beer. Definitely a beer to give a whirl, but not a beer to get excited about.

For an amber ale, one might suggest it was closer to brown or tan in color. As it was poured, the ale revealed a slight head. The aroma struck my sense as a bad joke. Plainly, the aroma was reminiscent of bubble gum flavored candy. Immediately, my sense of smell alarmed me to expect something more like Zima or Smirnoff Ice. The first taste was sweet like a novelty soda. There was no hint of any ingredients of beer in the initial. As the aftertaste waned, I was almost certain I consumed soda rather than beer. Being a diet coke drinker when not drinking beer, the sweet soda-like flavor was even more off-putting.
Reading the other reviews, it is apparent that something is not quite right about this beer.
