... Active Skepsis . ... Probably, one should know the results from any actions. ... As a result, a sceptic, who discredits, for example, the tales of Christian wonders, has to follow the practical recommendations of Christianity or any other belief knowing how to act. ... As a result, scepticism restricts itself with discrediting secondary wonders, permanently replacing one doubtful interpretation with another and telling nothing of life and action. ...

... Cost­E#ective System Management Skip Schaller Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 Abstract. Quality system management of computer workstations for as­ tronomy can be achieved with relatively small manpower requirements, if the right cost­e#ective administrative design decisions are made. ... The system is designed so that one doesn't depend on four or more hosts, (such as a software server, cpu server, data file server, font server, etc.) to get work done. ...

... Light curves resulting from electron scattering absorption in this envelope were computed and compared with observed IBIS/ISGRI and BATSE light curves. ... Assuming approximately 10-6 solar mass/year for the rate of the WR-wind, the observed light curves and accretion luminosity can be re-produced (assuming Thomson scattering opacity in the ionized He-rich envelope). ... Reduced 2-values between the models and ISGRI light curves vs inclination, for different mass ratios and wind velocities. ...

... The early science program has been very successful with about 600 separate segments observed of which about 92% were successful. ... In response to AO-1, thirteen Key Science proposals were received from ~200 authors for 1800 hours and were evaluated by the RPEC. ... The RISC strongly urged that the results of the ESP and AO-1 need to be made available (published in refereed journals) as soon as possible which will give credibility to AO-2 proposals. ...
