One can put all sorts of things into a Will for the executor to deal with.
Everyone over 18 should have one, not only does it protect what you own, you can reach out and exact revenge upon people after your death with a Will.
Someone always mean to you? Will them a Nickel as a fuck you. Someone who betrayed me is getting a "bright shiny quarter" from me because "that's all they are worth." Have a friend with questionable musical tastes? Will them some CDs. I've got a buddy who is getting my classic rock collection so he "listens to something else".
Have a beer, and dictate your will to someone, sign it and be protected. In many states if you kick without one, the State gets all your stuff.
Airspeed is mesured two ways. Indicated Airspeed and True Airspeed. True takes into account the wind, if you have a tailwind you can be going faster than the aircraft is possible of flying, like when the B-29s discovered the Jet Stream over the Pacific and would end up going 450-500 MPH when the aircraft was only possible of doing around 290 under it's own power.

Most of the Flood stories either are refering to the end of the Ice Age and the remeberence of that was carried on for generations until it was recorded, which isn't all that far fetched, the stories Homer wrote down had been carried on that way, or they refer to the flooding of the Persian Gulf (Biblical), which had been just an extension of the river valley until later, I want to say 6.5-8,000 BCE. Many of the early Biblical figures like Abraham from the Old Testement came from the Basra to Bahrain coast there, perhaps as far south as the UAE.
It's not only that, it's a double tax, which folks don't usually like. Since the majority of people use a telephone line to make these purchases (Modem/DSL) they've already paid a tax per line, which the company at the other line is paying too.
Remeber that the phone per phoneline is going to pay for the War with Spain, so there is no way Congress can do away with that.
Now if you live in a state with sales tax, you've already paid sales tax on the computer or software or something else involved in the deal locally.

There are hundreds of billions of dollars in military and commerical devices in LEO.
For the longest time NATO and the Soviets kept systems out of orbit because they didn't want to expand thier military spending out there, not because of some higher reason like space was to be a DMZ. They were afraid someone would get the initative from up that would allow a decapitation strike.
But even then the US and Soviets worked on FOBS and other systems for combat and bombardment in space http://www.astronautix.com/craft/ogch.htm http://www.astronautix.com/articles/almpart1.htm Since so much of the military and commercial sectors for the United States, NATO, EU rely on space, it's just sensable from a defense standpoint to have systems to defend them. Maybe it's from China, maybe it's from a resurgant Russia it doesn't matter.
The Federal Government shouldn't have anything to do with education beyond handing money out to the states.
There is no need for a Department of Ecuation beyond that role of handing out some of the funds taken from the Federal Taxes. Education should be handled by the States, Counties, School Districts and Cities.
They had a kickass Salt Lake back in the 80s when it threatened to take over the entire basin and attacked I-80, then there were the 60s when it almost went away

Considerable for them is about dozen meters at this point.
"Opportunity flipped 115 meters (377.3 feet) on its odometer during the latest drives along the current soil survey campaign, surpassing the total drive distance of 1997's Sojourner rover."
"Spirit completed a 15-meter (49.2 feet) blind drive followed by a 3-meter (9.8 feet) auto-navigation drive around the south rim of "Bonneville" crater toward a drift named "Serpent." Once there, Spirit completed post-drive science observations and a miniature thermal emission spectrometer study of the atmosphere, ground and future drive direction."
"I've been amazed at what the Mars rovers have been doing, for months, on their own."
But they are not on thier own.
They are controlled from California and what one of them has done in 3 months could have been accomplished in a matter of hours by a human.
Walk out, grab rocks, take rocks back to lab module, walk out, grab rocks.

Methane on Mars?

This article states that Methane on Earth would have a life of 300 years and that on Mars it'd be shorter.
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/science_medi ca l/story.jsp?story=505454
"Methane is destroyed by the intense ultraviolet radiation on Mars because the gas has a relatively short photochemical lifetime of about 300 years, so if it is present there must be something producing it continually, Professor Formisano said. "[Its presence] is significant and very important. If it is present you need a source," he added."
Navy aircraft that go off the end of the deck or are thrown overboard are still US property. Likewise, the recovery of the Russian sub in the Pacific was illegal under Maritime Law even though it'd sunk.
The stuff on the Moon and Mars, are the property of NASA still.
Since the project planned for it to sink, technically, it's still NASA's.

"The Department of the Navy retains custody of its ship and aircraft wrecks despite the passage of time and regardless of whether they are lost in U.S., foreign, or international waters. These wrecks are not abandoned, but remain the property of the government until a specific formal action is taken to dispose of them and, thus, are immune from the law of salvage without authorization from the appropriate Navy authorities. This immunity is founded in long-existing, historic principles of maritime law. These properties are not considered "abandoned" in the Abandoned Shipwreck Act of 1987 (43 U.S. C. 2101-2106) and did not transfer to the states with adoption of the Act."
"Those who throw any property overboard for the purpose of lightening a ship, do not intend to consider it as abandoned; since if they should find it they can carry it away, and if they have any idea of the place where it has been cast by the sea, they can claim it; so that they are in the same condition as anyone who oppressed by a burden throws it down on the road, expecting to return presently with others and remove it."
"In maritime law, flotsam applies to wreckage or cargo left floating on the sea after a shipwreck. Jetsam applies to cargo or equipment thrown overboard from a ship in distress and either sunk or washed ashore. The common phrase flotsam and jetsam is now used loosely to describe any objects found floating or washed ashore."
In reguards to this, I think it's considered jetsam and therefore it's still NASA's

The B-29s were not all capable of delivering A-bombs in 1945.
There was a special model B-29 called the "Silverplate" that was the only B-29 that could drop nukes.
http://www.nasm.si.edu/research/aero/aircraft/bo ei ng_b29.htm
"Late in 1944, AAF leaders selected the Martin assembly line to produce a batch of Superfortress atomic bombers codenamed "Silverplate" aircraft. Martin modified these special B-29s by deleting all gun turrets except for the tail position, removing armor plate, installing Curtiss electric propellers, and configuring the bomb bay to accommodate either the "Fat Man" or "Little Boy" versions of the atomic bomb."
Firstly, there is no Indian "race" or "nation" that was in conflict with the United States.
There were many conflicts with many tribes and there are many settlements which differ in scope and letter of the agreement.
Since the closing of the Frontier in 1890 and the end of major military action with the American Indians around the same time the rights of the American Indians have changed and the role of the government in thier lives has changed.
The crux of this arguement between the DOI/BIA and the folks suing them isn't about monetarily reimbursing for "or practically annahilating their race" it's about mismangement of natural resources on lands which are on Reservations or were on Reservations which are held in trust by the United States Government who act as stewards of the resources, both discovered and undiscovered.
Basicly the DOI/BIA has lost billions of dollars of money that should have been paid out to various tribes and various private citizens. Not only that, but they can't figure out a webserver that holds confidental information on the monies going out to private citizens that can't be exploited.
