Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Caused the Daytona Beach Rogue Wavein1992?
Hi Mike, Chris, List, Personally I think Chris hit the nail on the head when he said But realistically, a 10 meter object that was moving at hypervelocity all the way to the sea, and near shore, would have produced a massive fireball, rivaling the Sun, would have left a long lasting dust debris train, and would have been witnessed by thousands of people. I'd assume that a large event like that would have also shown up all all sorts of monitoring points from satellites and/or radar to seismic stations too.

Hi Chris and List, I agree. As the eyewitness account reads, it's impossible for such an object to create a large wave. However, if the account was in error about the size of the object, then perhaps it becomes a little more possible. What about the velocity of the object? Let us suppose that it retained a good bit of it's cosmic velocity when it struck the water. Would an object about 10-30 feet in diameter, travelling at a high rate of speed (say, 1km per second), generate a large wave? I would think that the speed at impact would play a role in the effects once it hit the water. I think the underwater landslide theory is more plausible. I was just surprised to see an account about a meteorite in this story.

Hi List, All of this talk about the tsunami in Japan reminded me of an event that happened here in Florida in 1992, that may have a meteorite connection. On July 3rd, 1992, a 20-foot rogue wave appeared out of nowhere (calm weather) and washed ashore on Daytona Beach, damaging many vehicles parked along the beach and causing scores of minor injuries - thankfully there were no fatalities. This event was big news down here at the time, but has since faded into obscurity. I did some digging on the event, to satisfy my own curiosity and I came across an account that includes a possible meteorite fall. Here is a quote from an eyewitness who was a boater that was offshore at the time - ...the boater came forward with the information that, shortly before the time of the wave, he was in his boat about eight miles offshore. He watched as a distant object approached across the sky toward the ocean at a high rate of speed, and crossed the bow of his boat at an angle with a whoosh (his word). Shortly after, a giant swell made his 41-foot sailboat handle like a large surfboard. Various news sources state that the meteorite, as it is now being called, was anywhere from a meter to 10 feet across. The boater who wished to remain anonymous, gave the professors enough information so that they are hoping that the Navy will retrieve the object, which is presumed to be lying in about 70 feet of water off the Daytona Beach coastline, with plenty of coordinates for locating it. (source : http://www.science-frontiers.com/sf084/sf084g12.htm ) Does anyone remember this meteorite event? And, did anyone look for the object? I know 70-feet of water is not exactly prime meteorite-hunting territory, but one has to wonder what happened, in light of the eyewitness account.

Re: [meteorite-list] 8.9 Quake in Japan ZIRCONIUM
Hello Count, et al- Just a quick comment here on something most people aren't aware of. The facts are, as of a minute ago, that there has been no containment vessel breach in any of the reactors. It is being reported that one of the containment vessels are cracked. What has happened, is that some fuel rod assemblies have been damaged by loss of coolant and resulting overtemp. They can melt into each other, but they can't burn through the vessel, or start a fire, as there is no graphite in the GE design. I don't know about THIS particular reactor, but. Almost ALL reactors use ZIRCONIUM as the metal for the fuel rods and other various parts for the reactors. ZIRCONIUM ignites easily and CAN NOT be put out by water. Water just feeds it and produces hydrogen oxygen (We already know about what THAT does). I've been listen almost non-stop to FNN and CNN and I've yet to hear anyone talking about this fact. While there are a few ways to put out a zirconium fire, as long as the fuel rods themselves stay hot they really don't stand a lot of chance of putting the fire out. Smothering a zirconium metal fire with salt is one way to do it. The salt melts over the burning zirconium and encapsulates it. Even with a relatively small amount of zirconium, it takes a LONG time for it to smother and cool to safe levels. Personally, I'd like to hear some of the nuclear engineers speak to this on TV. FWIW- ZIRCONIUM is used by the Navy and Airforce in many incendiary bombs. It burns so hot and furious that it burns right thru the steel on heavily armored tanks and burns thru the cement used in bunkers. Zirconium is the wildcard that everyone is overlooking here. If the zirconium catches fire, it WILL melt and burn its way thru anything. Try Googleing ZIRCONIUM METAL and WESTERN ZIRCONIUM in Ogden, UT and see for yourself. It's nasty stuff when it ignites, but it's also the most corrosion resistant metal known. -Barrett __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] 8.9 Quake in Japan ZIRCONIUM
This would all have been a mute point had the reactors been designed to separate the fuel rods by gravity in case of power loss. With cooling water fed by gravity with enough stored to last several days. Most reactors it seems use the same bad design. The water has to be pumped in. However due to this disaster it will lead to newer and safer designs.

[meteorite-list] February issue METEORITE
Friends, a brand new February 2011 issue of METEORITE just arrived at the doorstep. ‘Good stuff’, as a friend of mine says, and excellently put together by the editors Derek Sears and Robert Beauford. Of the many brilliant and entertaining contributions I may point your attention to the article on The Remarkable and Primitive NWA 5717 by our esteemed list member Darryl Pitt. Not only does the text include a thorough description of the most intriguing lithology and petrography of this super rare type 3.05 chondrite, but also contains breathtaking macro and electron microscopy photos of the exterior and special features of this meteorite. I still haven't read the Tale of Bonita Springs H5, the 'Meteorite under the Mango Tree' by Kevin Kichinka, but looking forward to do so. Hats off to the editors and authors of this issue. Cheers Svend P.S.: Concerning the current OT-discussion I may add that my thoughts and prayers are with the Japanese people. While mourning the deaths of perhaps as much as ten thousand souls from the initial quake and subsequent tsunami, and with a previously densely populated coast now totally devastated, leaving hundred thousands homeless, it appears comprehensible that some consider the current reduction of the disaster on Fukushima in western media and politics as out of proportion. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

First thank you all for your nice comments. Gary, I thought the same thing but I would not trust their typewriters. You can see for example that they used the letter I instead of the number 1 for that specimen: http://www.thetricottetcollection.com/img/img_met/1-5_SikhoteAlin_SAS.jpg Or maybe the 8 is stretched because of the soft sticker.

Press Release (Mar 16,2011) Impact to TEPCO's Facilities due to Tohoku-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake (as of 2:00PM) Below is the status of TEPCO's major facilities that suffered from the Tohoku-Taiheiyou-Oki Earthquake that occurred at 2:46PM, March 11th 2011. *new items are underlined [Nuclear Power Station] Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station: Units 1 to 3: shutdown due to earthquake Units 4 to 6: outage due to regular inspection at the occurrence of earthquake *The national government has instructed to evacuate for those local residents within 20km radius of the site periphery and to remain indoors for those local residents within 30km radius of the site periphery. *Since the value of radioactive materials (iodine, etc) at the site (outside) measured by monitoring car exceeded the ordinary level, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 occurred (Extraordinary increase of radiation dose at site boundary). - 4:17 pm, March 15th at the main gate of the site - 11:05 pm, March 15th at the main gate of the site * Unit 1 The explosive sound and white smoke was confirmed near Unit 1 after the big quake occurred at 3:36pm, March 12th. We have started sea water injection at 8:20 pm and then boric acid into the reactor. *Unit 2 At 1:25 pm, March 14th, since the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System has failed, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 occurred (failure of reactor cooling function). At 5:17 pm, while the water level in the reactor reached the top of the fuel rod, we have restarted the water injection with the valve operation. At approximately 6:14 am, March 15th, the extraordinary sound was confirmed near the suppression chamber and the pressure inside the chamber decreased afterwards. It was determined that there is a possibility that something extraordinary happened in the suppression chamber. While sea water injection to the reactor continued, TEPCO employees and workers from other companies not in charge of injection work started tentative evacuation to a safe location. Sea water injection to the reactor is still under operation. *Unit 3 At 6:50 am, March 14th, while water injection to the reactor was under operation, the pressure in the reactor containment vessel increased to 530 kPa. As a result, at 7:44 am, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 occurred (abnormal increase of the pressure of reactor containment vessel). Afterwards, the pressure has gradually decreased (as of 9:05 am, 450 kPa). At approximately 11:01 am, March 14th, an explosion followed by white smoke occurred near Unit 3. 4 TEPCO employees and 3 workers from other companies (all of them are conscious) have sustained injuries and they were already dispatched to the hospital by ambulances. *Unit 4 At approximately 6:00 am, March 15th, an explosive sound occurred and the damage in the 5th floor roof of Unit 4 reactor building was confirmed. At 9:38 am, the fire near the north-west part of 4th floor of Unit 4 reactor building was confirmed. At approximately 11:00 am, TEPCO employee confirmed that the fire was off. At approximately 5:45 am, a TEPCO employee discovered a fire at the northwest corner of the Nuclear Reactor Building. TEPCO immediately reported this incident to the fire department and the local government and prepared to extinguish the fire. However, during an inspection at approximately 6:15 am, TEPCO staff found no signs of fire. Fukushima Daini Nuclear Power Station: Units 1 to 4: shutdown due to earthquake *The national government has instructed evacuation for those local residents within 10km radius of the periphery. *As the radiation dose at the site boundary exceeded the limitation, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 occurred (Extraordinary increase of radiation dose at site boundary) at 9:58 pm, March 14th and at 0:00 am, March 15th. *Reactor cooling function was restored and cooling of rectors was conducted. As a result, all reactors achieved cold shutdown: Unit 1 at 5:00 pm, March 14th, Unit 2 at 6:00 pm, March 14th, Unit 3 at 0:15 pm, March 12th, Unit 4 at 7:15 am, March 15th. * (Unit 1) As it is confirmed that the temperature of the Emergency Equipment Cooling Water System *1 has increased, at 3:20 pm, March 15th, we stopped the Residual Heat Removal System (B) for the inspection. Subsequently, failure was detected in the power supply facility associated with the pumps of the Emergency Equipment Cooling Water System. At 4:25 pm, March 15th, after replacing the power facility, the pumps and the Residual Heat Removal System (B) have been reactivated. * (Unit 4) As it is confirmed that the pressure at the outlet of the pumps of the Emergency Equipment Cooling Water System*1 has been decreased, at 8:05 pm,

Dear Count, Thanks for the information on the situation in Japan. I'm under the weather today and at home under the covers with a rotten cold that I can barely see straight or type and the light hurts my eyes. I've always thought of you as an intelligent man and still do, but when you mentioned in your post I was shocked at Sheppard Smith's opener yesterday on Fox. I thought why is he watching that station. I still believe you're intelligent, but it took me a minute to figure out, who the heck Sheppard Smith was, and then it clicked he was on that station with the angry people that are always yelling, since I watch CNBC or Bloomberg News or CNN or PBS or MSNBC my local stations. There is such mindless drivel on Faux noise. I'm sure you just caught the story while flipping channels to get the latest. I've had friends and a relative that worked for Faux and I know that each morning they are given Talk Points and told to try to stay on point to try and grind down the viewers into believing every bit of yellow journalism they can spew out. It's their mission to make every viewer and especially every white person hate Obama and want him impeached, just like they did with Clinton and to push their right-wing republican viewpoint on their viewers. There's a reason that most intelligent people call it the Unfair and Unbalanced network and also call it Faux Noise Channel and FUX noise it's a worthless cesspool of right-wing conservative propaganda written to rot the minds of those that are transfixed by the smell of imbeciles like bill O'Really, sean hannity and glen becKKK.

[meteorite-list] (AD) Way Off Topic...I'm selling Gold Nuggets on Ebay
Well...this is way off topic, but since this is my very first AD of any kind to this list, I think I'm good for one shot here considering all the other abuses. :O) I just want to say that I began a couple weeks ago selling off my natural gold nugget collection on ebay. My seller name is deanazay . I'm selling 4 nuggets each weekend. Sorry, but I'm selling only to people in the USA. The history of the nuggets I'm selling...I bought these nuggets off of ebay 4 or 5 years ago, using the money I got after selling the fine gold I dredged up in the Yuba Rivers in northern California. Its a lot easier to sell natural nuggets than the melted down bullion I made from the fine stuff. I bought gold nuggets from all over...California, Nevada, Idaho, Georgia, Alaska and Australia primarily. I've acquired sizes from 1 gram up to 8 grams. Got some river worn nuggets as well as nice cryatalline nuggets. I'll probably be selling nuggets for the next couple months at least. Have a looksy if interested. Thanks. http://shop.ebay.com/deanazay/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562 George Zay __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Good afternoon Brian, Folks, Brian, your politically oriented diatribe is entirely inappropriate for posting to the Met list, is disrespectful to those who may have equally legitimate, differing opinions, and shows both your ignorance and your intransigent character. Your First Amendment argument is perhaps better suited for the courtroom, next time someone sues you for defamation. Paul Martyn, Savannah, GA In a message dated 3/16/2011 12:24:51 P.M.

Re: [meteorite-list] OT was Fw: 8.9 Quake in Japan, 10 meter Tsunami, Hope Dirk and others are ok
please change the subject when going OT. I don't mind OT and have been there myself. I Am a Republican Tea party card carrying member and take offence at the racist steroetyping of our group. I like Obamma as a Father and family man and his wanting universal healthcare is noble. This country makes enough money to take care of the needs of everyone without cramming insurance on everyone. The GNP is large enough for a 4% flat sales tax on all stock market sales to increase government income. Slow future speculation. Eliminate income tax. Cut costs for the IRS. And put money back in the pockets of the lower classes. To stimulate growth in our economy. As an additional note for the homophobes out there. I have many black asian ect friends who live alternative life styles. If i wasnt paying nearly 50% of my income in taxes I could afford to buy more meteorites!

[meteorite-list] MESSENGER On Autopilot for Orbit Insertion
http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/news_room/details.php?id=160 MESSENGER Mission News March 16, 2011 MESSENGER On Autopilot for Orbit Insertion MESSENGER is now on autopilot, faithfully executing a detailed set of instructions required to achieve its historic rendezvous with Mercury tomorrow night. At 8 a.m. Tuesday, all attitude re-orientations planned to control the probe's momentum accumulation and adjust its trajectory were successfully completed. MESSENGER turned to point its high-gain antenna back to Earth for the final stretch of continuous data monitoring until just before the start of Mercury orbit insertion. The operations team at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), in Laurel, Md., has monitored on-board commanded vehicle re-configurations and has sent pre-defined ground commands to establish configurations for the burn. The science instrument suite has recorded the last set of data for the cruise portion of the mission, and all instruments have been turned off. Although not in an operational mode, the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer has been left in its stand-by mode to ensure thermal stability of the delicate cryogenic cooler. The instruments will be tuned back on as part of orbital commissioning beginning on March 23. The navigation team is reporting that there has been little change from the previous targeting estimates, so the spacecraft is on the glide-slope for final approach to Mercury, says MESSENGER Systems Engineer Eric Finnegan. MESSENGER (MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging) is a NASA-sponsored scientific investigation of the planet Mercury and the first space mission designed to orbit the planet closest to the Sun. The MESSENGER spacecraft launched on August 3, 2004, and after flybys of Earth, Venus, and Mercury will start a yearlong study of its target planet in March 2011. Dr. Sean C. Solomon, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, leads the mission as Principal Investigator. The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory built and operates the MESSENGER spacecraft and manages this Discovery-class mission for NASA. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Excellent post. It's about time the qualified professionals at TEPCO released a verifiable synopsis of what actually happened at the Fukushima installation. They included a quantitive report for their complete system. Those buttheads in the media and the anti-nukers will still demagogue this incident for their own self interest. But, the fact remainsthe operators and the plants performed magnificently under the most severe physical circumstances that could be imagined.

We have started sea water injection at 8:20 pm and then boric acid into the reactor. *Unit 2 At 1:25 pm, March 14th, since the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System has failed, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 occurred (failure of reactor cooling function). At 5:17 pm, while the water level in the reactor reached the top of the fuel rod, we have restarted the water injection with the valve operation. At approximately 6:14 am, March 15th, the extraordinary sound was confirmed near the suppression chamber and the pressure inside the chamber decreased afterwards. It was determined that there is a possibility that something extraordinary happened in the suppression chamber. While sea water injection to the reactor continued, TEPCO employees and workers from other companies not in charge of injection work started tentative evacuation to a safe location. Sea water injection to the reactor is still under operation. *Unit 3 At 6:50 am, March 14th, while water injection to the reactor was under operation, the pressure in the reactor containment vessel increased to 530 kPa. As a result, at 7:44 am, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 occurred (abnormal increase of the pressure of reactor containment vessel). Afterwards, the pressure has gradually decreased (as of 9:05 am, 450 kPa). At approximately 11:01 am, March 14th, an explosion followed by white smoke occurred near Unit 3. 4 TEPCO employees and 3 workers from other companies (all of them are conscious) have sustained injuries and they were already dispatched to the hospital by ambulances. *Unit 4 At approximately 6:00 am, March 15th, an explosive sound occurred and the damage in the 5th floor roof of Unit 4 reactor building was confirmed. At 9:38 am, the fire near the north-west part of 4th floor of Unit 4 reactor building was confirmed. At approximately 11:00 am, TEPCO employee confirmed that the fire was off. At approximately 5:45 am, a TEPCO employee discovered a fire at the northwest corner of the Nuclear Reactor Building. TEPCO immediately reported this incident to the fire department and the local government and prepared to extinguish the fire. However, during an inspection at approximately 6:15 am, TEPCO staff found no signs of fire.

[meteorite-list] Nasa builds meteor-tracking 'Fireball Network'
List: Now this sounds interesting. Greg S. http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-03/16/nasa-fireball-network US space agency Nasa is planning to cover the United States with cameras facing upward to track meteorites as they enter the atmosphere. The scheme, which has been named the All-sky Fireball Network will allow researchers to triangulate observations of space rocks to try and figure out where they're going to land, making them easier to recover. It's entirely automated -- computers scan the images received to try and work out which objects are meteors, and then send any positive results to Nasa, which puts them on the web. The network currently consists of just three cameras -- in the US states of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. Nasa's William Cooke, head of the agency's Meteoroid Environment Office, hopes to expand that to 15 cameras across the eastern half of the US, and is talking to schools, planetariums and science centres to host them. If someone calls me and asks 'What was that?' I'll be able to tell them, he told Singularity Hub. Other meteorite monitoring systems exist, particularly over the less-populated western half of the US, but the Fireball Network is the first that's completely automated, using optical recognition technology to identify the flaming signature of a meteorite burning up in the atmosphere (or the occasional spider). Eventually, it's hoped that the various meteor-monitoring networks could link up to cover the whole country. It's not a warning system -- once a meteor is detected it'll likely be too late to alert any nearby residents. But data from the Fireball Network will be used to improve the shielding used on spacecraft, as well as being kept as a record of every large meteoroid to burn up over the US. It'll also help researchers track more of them down. One of Cooke's assistants told Nasa's Science News: Most meteorites fall in the ocean, lakes, forests, farmer's fields, or the Antarctic…and the majority of those meteorites will never be found. But our system will help us track down more of them. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Collection numbers interest me, so I've done a bit more research over the past few days. Just to recap: Dave and I both recently acquired nice, uncleaned and slightly rusted Sikhotes from Rob Wesel (thanks Rob). They carry a white gauze label, with four-digit typewritten collection numbers. Steve Schoner was quite certain these are Russian National Academy of Sciences numbers, and Rob provided some useful info and photos, and also had a labelling question (I think I have your answer, Rob, see below). However, the actual numbers on our specimens don't match Krinov's numbers, so there was some doubt. First off, Rob, in style the labels do appear to match the photos you supplied here: http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/SA1.jpg and here: http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/SA2.jpg I find it odd that specimens with really low numbers, like the one in Rob's photo 0067, and mine 0112, were evidently not collected during the first expedition to Sikhote-Alin, due to the light coating of rust. You would expect the really low numbers to have been from the earliest expedition (and therefore to be in nearly pristine condition), but I suppose they could have been numbered out of order at a later date -- back in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Or maybe they were just left outside in an old crate somewhere : ) Anyway, I have to agree with Steve S., and I think I've found proof that these are official Russian labels. Earlier this year, I had the good fortune to acquire a signed copy of Krinov's book about Tunguska and Sikhote-Alin. This book used to belong to Dr. Elbert King, and I ended up with it thanks to Steve Arnold of I.M.B. The book is (obviously) in Russian and, as far as I know, has unfortunately never been translated into English. My very basic Russian is not up to the task. The title reads (phonetically) Zhelezny Dozhd, and the cover is a two-color reprint of the famous Sikhote-Alin stamp. On pg. 54 of the book -- published in 1981 -- is a b/w photo of a Sikhote-Alin specimen which appears to carry the same type of label. I know it's a terribly bad quality image, but you should have seen it before I cleaned it up in Photoshop : ) Have a look: http://www.notkin.net/collection-numbers.htm Compare the b/w image to the color pic of my Sikhote-Alin 0112, immediately below on the same page. Steve, if you have time, it would be most interesting to see a photo of one of your Sikhotes with the labels that you know to be from the Russian Academy. Finally, Rob asked if anyone could help him to identify the label on his collection piece here: http://home.planet.nl/~rlenssen/SikhoteAlin-7a.jpg Rob, please compare your photo to the bottom

Re: [meteorite-list] Nasa builds meteor-tracking 'Fireball Network'
I would like to have one of those at my house. -- Stuart McDaniel Lawndale, NC Thunder Stone stanleygr...@hotmail.com wrote: = List: Now this sounds interesting. Greg S. http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2011-03/16/nasa-fireball-network US space agency Nasa is planning to cover the United States with cameras facing upward to track meteorites as they enter the atmosphere. The scheme, which has been named the All-sky Fireball Network will allow researchers to triangulate observations of space rocks to try and figure out where they're going to land, making them easier to recover. It's entirely automated -- computers scan the images received to try and work out which objects are meteors, and then send any positive results to Nasa, which puts them on the web. The network currently consists of just three cameras -- in the US states of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee. Nasa's William Cooke, head of the agency's Meteoroid Environment Office, hopes to expand that to 15 cameras across the eastern half of the US, and is talking to schools, planetariums and science centres to host them. If someone calls me and asks 'What was that?' I'll be able to tell them, he told Singularity Hub. Other meteorite monitoring systems exist, particularly over the less-populated western half of the US, but the Fireball Network is the first that's completely automated, using optical recognition technology to identify the flaming signature of a meteorite burning up in the atmosphere (or the occasional spider). Eventually, it's hoped that the various meteor-monitoring networks could link up to cover the whole country. It's not a warning system -- once a meteor is detected it'll likely be too late to alert any nearby residents. But data from the Fireball Network will be used to improve the shielding used on spacecraft, as well as being kept as a record of every large meteoroid to burn up over the US. It'll also help researchers track more of them down. One of Cooke's assistants told Nasa's Science News: Most meteorites fall in the ocean, lakes, forests, farmer's fields, or the Antarctic…and the majority of those meteorites will never be found. But our system will help us track down more of them. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

We have started sea water injection at 8:20 pm and then boric acid into the reactor. *Unit 2 At 1:25 pm, March 14th, since the Reactor Core Isolation Cooling System has failed, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 occurred (failure of reactor cooling function). At 5:17 pm, while the water level in the reactor reached the top of the fuel rod, we have restarted the water injection with the valve operation. At approximately 6:14 am, March 15th, the extraordinary sound was confirmed near the suppression chamber and the pressure inside the chamber decreased afterwards. It was determined that there is a possibility that something extraordinary happened in the suppression chamber. While sea water injection to the reactor continued, TEPCO employees and workers from other companies not in charge of injection work started tentative evacuation to a safe location. Sea water injection to the reactor is still under operation. *Unit 3 At 6:50 am, March 14th, while water injection to the reactor was under operation, the pressure in the reactor containment vessel increased to 530 kPa. As a result, at 7:44 am, it was determined that a specific incident stipulated in article 15, clause 1 occurred (abnormal increase of the pressure of reactor containment vessel). Afterwards, the pressure has gradually decreased (as of 9:05 am, 450 kPa).

This first paragraph seems too good to be true... but then look at the second paragraph - the final value fee will now be applied to shipping fees also! So basically, if you have to ship a large, heavy item.. eBay will charge you extra for it, even though shipping is done third party by the seller. What a load of Ryan We're writing with some great news: Starting April 19, you'll be able to list your items Auction-style FREE, at any start price, up to 50 listings a month. Plus you can add the Buy It Now option to these listings FREE to grab buyers in a hurry. Set the price you want and sell it fast! This is not a limited-time special but a change in eBay Standard fees to help you list more for FREE all the time?even those high ticket items! Pay only if your item sells. Also, because we know buyers take into consideration the total cost of an item, also starting April 19, to encourage sellers to keep shipping costs low, the Final Value Fee will be applied to the total amount of the sale, INCLUDING SHIPPING. __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list

Re: [meteorite-list] Great News to eBay sellers.
This is so classic...additional fees within any third-party exchange ultimately limits the exchange itself (excuse me for my OT comment here, but this is also the model in statist taxation...sorry, but I couldn't resist...it is directly parallel.) Ultimately, the 'law' of un-intended consequenses will come home to roost, and eBay will recognize the impact, or not. By contrast, I must say that this List is populated by true Thinkers, and not a x-section of the general descerning public..which is why I am both honored and pleased that I discovered you all, and subsequently now have my most important specimens, not through eBay, yet through our List. -Richard Montgomery - Original Message - From: Adam Hupe raremeteori...@yahoo.com To: Adam meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2011 5:21 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Great News to eBay sellers.

Re: [meteorite-list] Great News to eBay sellers.
There is probably a reason for this. I have seen sellers listing multiple items using Buy It Now for, say, $.99 .. and then charging $50 for shipping. That way the final value fees for the seller are greatly reduced. So, I guess eBay got fed up with these loop-hole tactics, as if eBay/Paypal Inc. doesn't make enough annual revenue anyhow. So.. sellers, especially those that charge actual shipping and ship heavy items, will suffer the most as a result of this policy change.

Good points Adam, Ebay/paypal gets sellers coming and going. Between listing fees and final value fees, not to mention paypal fees, its getting harder and harder for sellers to keep a decent margin for themselves without driving their prices too high to compensate. Now ebay wants to assess final value fees to include shipping on top of sold item? What the heck!!!?? Shipping has absolutely NOTHING to do with ebay!

[meteorite-list] OT: RISKS OF NUCLEAR POWER
List, We are invariably abnormally impressed by the sudden occurrence of a rare, high-risk event. We do not appraise them in a strictly rational manner when this happens. The current application of fear caused by a very rare event, as we see in Japan, is weighted heavily. For those interested in the actual data, the human cost, in lives, of the various means of electric power production are listed below. Deaths are for the period 1970 through 1992, the only period for which data could be collected for all the means of production. All deaths are immediate deaths, and the figures are on a worldwide basis, which includes countries with less stringent industrial safety requirements than the U.S. This is the picture for the Planet. Hydroelectric production accounted for roughly 4000 deaths, of members of the public, or 883 deaths per terawatt-year. The vast majority of those deaths were from the failure of dams and impoundments. Coal power production produced about 6400 deaths, all of workers, for a death rate of 342 deaths per terawatt-year. (Deaths from the mining of coal are included in proportion to the use of coal in direct power production.) Natural Gas power production resulted in some 1200 deaths, of both industry workers and the general public, for 85 deaths per terawatt-year. Nuclear Power resulted in 31 deaths, all of workers, for a total of 8 deaths per terawatt-year, or 1% of the deaths from safe environmentally friendly hydroelectric power. The other fuel, petroleum, is rarely used for power production but largely for transportation. How deadly, in these terms, is our transportation power use in cars and trucks as compared to the cost in life of power production? The U.S. consumed 0.138 teragallons of gasoline on 2009 (at 4.175 watt-years per gallon), with a total energy content of a mere 0.576 terawatt-years. Highway deaths in 2009 were 33,963, which yields 58,943 deaths per terawatt-year of power consumed. Clearly, the use of this power source for transport is many orders of magnitude more dangerous than the production of electrical power, however it is accomplished. Our reaction to this horrendous risk is to complain about how much it costs us to fill'er up. Humans are not rational animals. The reduction in overall life expectancy in the U.S. due to nuclear power production is one-third of the reduction in life expectancy caused by eating 8 ounces. of charcoal-broiled steak per week.
