But Mercury is no Moon. NASA’s Messenger spacecraft, in orbit around the Iron Planet since Solid inner core March 2011, has recently fi nished its initial global Moon survey. The work reveals that this wacky world has Liquid outer core a unique, complex history all its own. Mantle The survey images show a marvelous world of Solid ancient volcanic fl oods and mysteriously dark ter- inner core Crust rain (S&T: April 2012, page 26). Plains — mostly Liquid volcanic — cover about 30% of the surface. And outer core as radar images have long suggested, subsurface Mantle water ice lies tucked inside some polar craters. Crust Temperatures in the coldest craters never top 50° above absolute zero, making Mercury both one of the hottest and coldest bodies in the solar system. To celebrate Messenger’s completed Mercury survey, we’ve worked with the USGS to produce a labeled map of the innermost planet, which you’ll fi nd on the fl ip side of these pages. The labels on this map are a subset of those that appear on our new Mercury globe. Many names honor artists, writers, and musicians, including Bach and Cop- land. Even Disney and Seuss have craters.

    Bright peaks, dark shadows 20 February 2012, by Jason Major Amaral's "blue" peaks seen in a color-enhanced global image acquired Jan. 14, 2008. Its central peaks also attracted astronomers' MESSENGER image of Mercury's Amaral crater interest, as they were seen to possess a striking blue hue in color-enhanced images that likely indicates rocks with different composition from the surrounding surface. The 68-mile (109-km) -wide Amaral crater on Mercury reveals its brightly-tipped central peaks in Amaral's peaks resemble those of the slightly larger this image, acquired by NASA's MESSENGER crater Eminescu, which is now known to contain spacecraft on Feb. 4, 2012. Long shadows are recently-discovered features called hollows. It's not cast by the crater's peaks and rugged rim (north is yet known if Amaral also contains hollows, but it's to the left.) suspected that they may be present on the tips of the peaks.

The presence of these Thermal stress tracks shows that these rocks have fallen relatively recently because aeolian processes are known to infill Ices topographic lows over time. Mapping of rockfall tracks indicate trends in frequency with orientation, which in Solar radiation � � turn depend on the latitudinal position of the crater. Craters in the equatorial belt (between 15 N and 15 S) Weathering exhibit higher frequencies of rockfall on their north-south oriented slopes compared to their east-west ones. � Craters >15 N/S have notably higher frequencies on their equator-facing slopes as opposed to the other ori­ entations. We computed solar radiation on the surface of crater slopes to compare insolation patterns with the spatial distribution of rockfalls, and found statistically significant correlations between maximum diurnal inso­ lation and rockfall frequency.

    Democratic Citizenship in the Heart of Empire Dissertation Presented In

    POLITICAL ECONOMY OF AMERICAN EDUCATION: Democratic Citizenship in the Heart of Empire Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University Thomas Michael Falk B.A., M.A. Graduate Program in Education The Ohio State University Summer, 2012 Committee Members: Bryan Warnick (Chair), Phil Smith, Ann Allen Copyright by Thomas Michael Falk 2012 ABSTRACT Chief among the goals of American education is the cultivation of democratic citizens. Contrary to State catechism delivered through our schools, America was not born a democracy; rather it emerged as a republic with a distinct bias against democracy. Nonetheless we inherit a great demotic heritage. Abolition, the labor struggle, women’s suffrage, and Civil Rights, for example, struck mighty blows against the established political and economic power of the State. State political economies, whether capitalist, socialist, or communist, each express characteristics of a slave society. All feature oppression, exploitation, starvation, and destitution as constitutive elements. In order to survive in our capitalist society, the average person must sell the contents of her life in exchange for a wage. Fundamentally, I challenge the equation of State schooling with public and/or democratic education. Our schools have not historically belonged to a democratic public. Rather, they have been created, funded, and managed by an elite class wielding local, state, and federal government as its executive arms. Schools are economic institutions, serving a division of labor in the reproduction of the larger economy. Rather than the school, our workplaces are the chief educational institutions of our lives.

Gump COMPOSER, ARTIST, AND PRESIDENT OF GUMP'S, SAN FRANCISCO An Interview Conducted by Suzanne B. Riess in 1987 Copyright @ 1989 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West,and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between the University of California and Richard B. Gump dated 7 March 1988.

    Producing MESSENGER DEMs from MDIS NAC Images MANHEIM1, HENRIKSEN, ROBINSON, AND THE MESSENGER TEAM 1ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY, TEMPE AZ—[email protected] Launched: August 2004 MESSENGER Mercury Orbit: March 2011 Completed: April 2015 Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) 2 framing cameras: a monochrome NAC and a multispectral WAC NAC wasn’t a stereo camera, but off-nadir observations enable the creation of DEMs NACs have 5 m pixel scale at closest approach Mercury Laser Altimeter (MLA) Radial accuracy of < 20 m Only available between 90° N and 18° S Highly Elliptical Orbit Periapsis: 200 – 500 km (near North Pole) Apoapsis: 10,000 – 15,000 km Methodology: Overview Site Selection & Image Selection Illumination Conditions Imaging Geometry DEM Production Using the USGS Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) and SOCET SET 5.6 Error analysis Creating data products for PDS release Image Selection Selecting stereo images requires compromise between finding optimal images and building up desired coverage. These parameters will dictate the precision of the final product. Strength of stereo: parallax between the two images / unit height Illumination compatibility: distance between the tips of shadows in two images / unit height *Guidelines adapted from Becker, et al. 2015. Images Selected for Our DEMs n=49 Selecting Images to Build Mosaics Sander Crater mosaic: 21 images Selecting Images to Build Mosaics Sander Crater mosaic: 21 images 36 stereo pairs (areas of overlap producing ‘good’ stereo) Selecting Images to Build Mosaics Sander Crater mosaic: 21 images 36 stereo pairs (areas of overlap producing ‘good’ stereo) Resulting DEMs can be mosaicked together (using ISIS) to create one large-area DEM Processing in SOCET SET: Overview Import into SOCET SET 5.6 Relative Triangulation Registration to MLA tracks DEM Extraction Orthophoto Generation Creating Additional Data Products PDS Release *This process is quite similar to that described for LROC NAC DEMs in Henriksen, et al.

    The 2018 Scottie Written and edited by current and former players and coaches including Todd Garrison, Tyler Reid, Olivia Kiser, Anish Patel, Rajeev Nair, Garrison Page, Mason Reid, Parker Bannister, Daniel Dill. Packet Twelve TOSSUPS 1. This mountain has two summits, of which the South summit is approximately 1100 feet ​ higher. The Kahiltna Glacier comes off the southwest side of this mountain, which is named after a Koyukon word meaning ‘high’ or ‘tall’. It was renamed in the lead up to the (*) 1896 presidential election, and retained that name until 2015. For 10 points, name this ​ mountain, which was named Mount McKinley for 119 years before having its original name restored. (OK) ANSWER: Denali [accept Mount McKinley before mention] ​ ​ ​ ​ 2. One work by this non-Ovid poet that was written under the patronage of Maecenas is ​ about the running of a farm and devotes an entire book to bees. Another work by this poet largely consists of pastoral themes, and is sometimes considered to include a reference to Jesus. This author’s most famous work traces the journey of a (*) Trojan warrior to Italy via ​ ​ ​ Carthage. For 10 points, name this Roman poet of the Georgics, the Eclogues, and The Aeneid. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ (OK) ANSWER: Virgil [ or Publius Vergilius Maro] ​ ​ ​ ​ 3. One event taking place on this holiday is a drawing of lots where one goat is sacrificed ​ and another is sent “to Azazel.” On the day before it, some practitioners swing a chicken over a person’s head in the kapparot ritual. This holiday ends with a long blast of the shofar in the Ne’ila prayer, and during it five (*) prohibitions are observed.
