200786128Washington DC: National Aeronautics and Space Administration 2007. Presumed First Edition First printing. Comb binding. Very good. 50 pages including covers. Decorative front cover. Phoenix was an uncrewed space probe that landed on the surface of Mars on May 25 2008 and operated until November 2 2008. Phoenix was operational on Mars for 157 sols 161 days. Its instruments were used to assess the local habitability and to research the history of water on Mars. The mission was part of the Mars Scout Program; its total cost was $420 million including the cost of launch. The multi-agency program was led by the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory at the University of Arizona with project management by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Academic and industrial partners included universities in the United States Canada Switzerland Denmark Germany the United Kingdom NASA the Canadian Space Agency the Finnish Meteorological Institute Lockheed Martin Space Systems MacDonald Dettwiler & Associates MDA in partnership with Optech Incorporated Optech and other aerospace companies. It was the first NASA mission to Mars led by a public university. Phoenix was NASA's sixth successful landing on Mars from seven attempts and the first in Mars' polar region. The lander completed its mission in August 2008 and made a last brief communication with Earth on November 2 as available solar power dropped with the Martian winter. The mission was declared concluded on November 10 2008 after engineers were unable to re-contact the craft. JPL declared the lander to be dead. The program was considered a success because it completed all planned science experiments and observations. The mission had two goals. One was to study the geological history of water the key to unlocking the story of past climate change. The second was to evaluate past or potential planetary habitability in the ice-soil boundary. Phoenix's instruments were suitable for uncovering information on the geological and possibly biological history of the Martian Arctic. Phoenix was the first mission to return data from either of the poles and contributed to NASA's main strategy for Mars exploration "Follow the water." A press kit often referred to as a media kit is a pre-packaged set of promotional materials that provide information about a person company organization or cause and which is distributed to members of the media for use. Press kits are often distributed to announce a release or for a news conference.<br /> Traditionally the term "press kit" referred to a set of documents photographs such as publicity stills and other relevant materials packaged together and such a kit was designed to be sent to a newspaper or magazine as part of an organization's public relations or promotional program. There is no universal guide to the elements that should be included in a press kit or media kit but the following are common components: Backgrounder with historical information on the company or individual; Fact sheet listing specific features statistics or benefits; Biographies of key executives individuals artists etc.; Past press coverage; Photos or other images; a press release; and media contact information.

CD in a paper envelop with clear plastic face. Very good. On this disc entitled in sharpee 2/12/03 NNSA Test Readiness is a 26 vugraph briefing with graphics that was given to the Foster panel. There are no distribution limitations on the outside of the disc or on any vugraphs contained therein. John Stuart Foster Jr. born September 18 1922 is an American physicist best known as the fourth director of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and as Director Defense Research and Engineering under four Secretaries of Defense and two Presidents. In 1952 Foster was recruited to Lawrence Livermore Laboratory by founder Edward Teller and became a division leader in experimental physics. He was promoted to associate director in 1958 and director of the Livermore Laboratory and associate director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in 1961 in which positions he served until 1965. Foster was appointed director of defense research and engineering a position then considered the number-three job in the Department of Defense by Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara in October 1965. He continued in this position until June 1973 serving under Presidents Johnson and Nixon and under Secretaries of Defense McNamara Clifford Laird and Richardson. From 1973 Foster was vice president science and technology of TRW retiring in 1988. From 1973 until 1990 he was a member of the President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board. He was a long-serving member of the Defense Science Board of which he served as chairman from January 1990 to June 1993. Foster continues to advise and mentor scientists at Livermore into the 2020s. From an Arms Control Association article found online: The Department of Energy submitted a report to the Senate Armed Services Committee on May 20 2003 calling for the United States to shorten the time it would take to conduct a nuclear test to 18 months in order to provide a "reasonable level of flexibility" for the Bush administration. Congress requested the report in November 2002 instructing Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham to draw up plans that would enable the department to test within six 12 18 or 24 months. Currently the United States can conduct a nuclear test within 24-36 months of a presidential directive to do so. Congress also asked Abraham to determine in consultation with the secretary of defense which readiness period would be optimal. The 18-month recommendation "reflects what is achievable and cost effective" according to the report which was prepared by the National Nuclear Security Administration NNSA a semiautonomous agency within the Energy Department. The report indicated that 18 months is the minimum amount of time needed to evaluate a problem identified in the U.S. nuclear stockpile propose a solution and "execute a test that would provide the information needed to certify the ‘fix.'" The recommendation is "consistent with realistic testing schedules" established during previous U.S. nuclear testing which ceased in 1992. By contrast shortening test readiness to six or 12 months would require a "substantial diversion of personnel and facilities at the laboratories" according to the report. That would "represent a major redirection of the stockpile stewardship program" which is intended to maintain the nuclear arsenal in the absence of testing. Adopting a testing posture of a year or less would be "most relevant.if the President might direct that testing resume for political reasons." The report also noted that the shorter readiness period would be considerably more expensive. The transition to shorten the current 24-36 month readiness posture expected to take three years is already underway. NNSA conducted an Enhanced Test Readiness Cost Study in July 2002 to determine the steps and funding required to shorten the readiness posture and the Nuclear Weapons Council a consultative group of officials from the Energy Department and the Pentagon approved the plan to transition to an 18-month readiness window in September 2002 according to the report. The Bush administration asked for funds to begin moving to a shorter test readiness posture in its fiscal year 2004 budget request.

Photo illustrated. Index. Laid-in is a typed letter on University of Nevada Reno Oral History Program letterehead signed by Mary Larson Assistant Director. Bound in the original dark blue cloth stamped in bright silver. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher/Gooogle: "NOT LIKE A RIVER: THE MEMOIR OF AN ACTIVIST ACADEMIC is the oral history of Elmer Rusco a distinguished professor of political science at the University of Nevada in Reno. This memoir is the summation of Professor Rusco's life in civil liberties and civil rights and his pursuit of legal and historical truth. It provides insight into the exceptional scope of Professor Rusco's work and contributions as well as the reasons for his extraordinary lifelong commitment to advancing the cause of social justice. Originally from Kansas Professor Rusco chose to spend more than four decades in Nevada. He was one of the founding group of faculty members of the University of Nevada's Department of Political Science when it separated from the History Department between 1958 and 1963; and he helped establish the reputation of that faculty for teaching public service and mentoring. Professor Rusco was one of the volunteer leaders of the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada that sustained it from its founding in 1966 to 1985 and in the 1970s he served as its state president. Professor Rusco was active in community state and national organizations including those committed to the environment Friends of Rancho San Rafael and Friends of Pyramid Lake religion the Unitarian Universalists civil rights the ACLU Nevada and the Northern Nevada Black Cultural Awareness Society political reform Common Cause legal aid Washoe Legal Services direct help for the poor Community Services Agency and Habitat for Humanity and much more. Professor Rusco's oral history also provides insight into how his religious personal and political philosophy was shaped. The sources were mostly rooted in rural Kansas but also involved a cattleboat excursion that spanned several continents and a Midwesterner's encounters with the Jim Crow South. For Elmer Rusco 'retirement' in 1986 added to his life the time to become the state's leading authority on Nevada's civil rights legacy and its struggle with racism. He was able to complete monumental studies on federal Indian policy and on Nevada's encounters with its Chinese residents in addition to a myriad of published studies on poverty and the black experience in Nevada.".

201180403Washington DC: National Nuclear Security Administration 2011. Presumed First thus. Held together with a binder clip. Very good. Volume 3 ONLY. C. Deeney's copy per cover sheet. While stated as Volume 3 this appears to be a stand-alone item documenting the Third Review Panel Meeting. It is labeled on the cover shee as NIC Preliminary Data. The agenda covers June 2 and June 3 2011. Among the topics and presentations at tabs are NIC Overview by E. Moses NIC Technical Framework by J. Lindl Ignition Tuning Experiments by N. Landen Progress on Target Layering by J. Atherton Implosion Experiments by J. Edwards and ITF/ITFX Assessment by J. Lindl and NIC FY11 Go-Forward Schedule by J. Atherton. The presentations are printed with four frames per page with substantial use of color. The National Ignition Facility NIF is a large laser-based inertial confinement fusion ICF research device located at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore California. NIF uses lasers to heat and compress a small amount of hydrogen fuel with the goal of inducing nuclear fusion reactions. NIF's mission is to achieve fusion ignition with high energy gain and to support nuclear weapon maintenance and design by studying the behavior of matter under the conditions found within nuclear weapons. NIF is the largest and most energetic ICF device built to date and the largest laser in the world. The National Ignition Campaign NIC was a multi-institution effort established under the National Nuclear Security Administration of DOE in 2005 prior to the completion of the National Ignition Facility NIF in 2009. The scope of the NIC was the planning and preparation for and the execution of the first 3 yr of ignition experiments through the end of September 2012 as well as the development fielding qualification and integration of the wide range of capabilities required for ignition. Besides the operation and optimization of the use of NIF these capabilities included over 50 optical x-ray and nuclear diagnostic systems target fabrication facilities experimental platforms and a wide range of NIF facility infrastructure. The goal of ignition experiments on the NIF is to achieve for the first time ignition and thermonuclear burn in the laboratory via inertial confinement fusion and to develop a platform for ignition and high energy density applications on the NIF. The goal of the NIC was to develop and integrate all of the capabilities required for a precision ignition campaign and if possible to demonstrate ignition and gain by the end of FY12. The goal of achieving ignition can be divided into three main challenges. The first challenge is defining specifications for the target laser and diagnostics with the understanding that not all ignition physics is fully understood and not all material properties are known. The second challenge is designing experiments to systematically remove these uncertainties. The third challenge is translating these experimental results into metrics designed to determine how well the experimental implosions have performed relative to expectations and requirements and to advance those metrics toward the conditions required for ignition. At project completion in 2009 NIF lacked almost all the diagnostics and infrastructure required for ignition experiments. About half of the 3 yr period covered in this review was taken up by the effort required to install and performance qualify the equipment and experimental platforms needed for ignition experiments. Ignition on the NIF is a grand challenge undertaking and the results presented here represent a snapshot in time on the path toward that goal. The path forward presented at the end of this review summarizes plans for the Ignition Campaign on the NIF which were adopted at the end of 2012 as well as some of the key results obtained since the end of the NIC.

From the publisher: "'Nineteenth Century British Women's Education' brings together key documents in the Victorian feminist campaign to establish and improve girls' and women's education. Drawing widely on articles from the feminist and established press government papers newspapers professional and association journals as well as memoirs addresses pamphlets and reviews this collection gives researchers access to nineteenth-century debates on improving girls' and women's education and women's work as educators. The collection is divided overall into two sections both of which incorporate materials that argue for the improvement of girls' and women's education as well as arguments made against education for girls and women. In examining the campaign to establish higher education for women the first volumes include the writings of such primary figures as Emily Davies Lydia Becker Barbara Bodichon Jessie Boucherett Josephine Butler Frances Power Cobbe Millicent Garrett Fawcett Maria Grey and Emily Shirreff in addition to illustrating the significance of institutions such as Girton and Newnham Colleges. Later volumes document women's work as educators and include writings by Mary Carpenter Dorothea Beale Frances Mary Buss and the Shirreff sisters Maria and Emily gifted educators of girls at the elementary and secondary levels and women whose educational practice embodied the arguments they made on behalf of girls' education. These volumes also chart the importance of the Governesses' Benevolent Institution the Schools Inquiry Commission and the 'Journal of Women's Education Union' in charting the increasing organization and professionalization of women teachers. Edited and with new introductions by Susan Hamilton and Janice Schroeder 'Nineteenth Century British Women's Education' is destined to be an invaluable reference resource to all future scholars of feminism and the history of education.".
