legacy 992.leg.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
"Lanie'Carter, Surrogate Grandmother at Scripps Hospital, will be "The Eleventh Woman" at The Women's International Center Living Legacy Awards Banquet.
Carter, a former receptionist in a pediatrician's office, has served as Surrogate Grandmother/New Family Consultant to more than 8,000 babies in the past five years. She assumed the role after sending a proposal as New Family Consultant to Scripps Hospital. She teaches new parents everything from layette-buying to proper breast-feeding.
In addition to her duties as Grandmother, Carter works with abusive parents and teaches/conducts "Adjusting to Parenthood" classes. She is founder of Los Madres and of Parents of Twins.
As The Eleventh Woman, Carter represents the universal giving spirit of all women.

airline 449.air.3 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
I think I entered... At first, the Americans were willing to give us supplies and ammunition, but they didn't want to be involved in an airlift. And since other airline companies did not want to fly to Israel during a war, only our aircraft carried supplies. They had to bring enlistees, students from abroad, and ammunition, and that was of course very small amounts which did not help us. At a later stage, when our ammunition stores were reduced, the Americans finally agreed to organize their own airlift, but that was almost on the 14th or 15th day of the war, very close to the end of the war, and in fact it almost had no effect on the battlefield. The weapon systems didn't arrive at all; only after the war, a few tanks began to arrive, a few low anti-tank systems, but that arrived only at the very end of the battles.

g-parity 332.par.002002 Louis J. Sheehan,Eesquire
. Feynmnn diagrams for ψ production and (a) direct decay to hadrons, (b) second-order electromagnetic decay to hadrons. and (c) second-order electromagnetic decay to μ+μ-.
In processes (b) and (c), hadrons and muon-pairs are produced by virtual photons in exactly the same way that they are produced at off-resonance energies. If the observed hadrons were produced only through second-order electromagnetic decay, then the hadron/muon-pair production ratio, R, would be the same on-resonance as off. This is decidedly not the case. Since R is much larger on-resonance than off, both ψ and y’ do have direct hadronic decays.
More branching fractions for specific hadronic channels have been measured for the ψ and y’ than for any other particles. Most of these are of interest only to the specialist, but a few have told us a good deal about the psi particles. Since the second-order electromagnetic decays also complicate these analyses, we must again make on- and off-resonance comparisons between muon-pair production and the production of specific hadronic final states. In Fig. 8 we show such a comparison plotted against the number of pions observed in the final state [10]. Even numbers of pions observed are consistent with what is
292 Physics 1976
expected from second-order electromagnetic decays, while the observed odd- pion decays are much enhanced. The ψ decays appear, from these data, to be governed by a certain selection rule (G-parity conservation) that is known to govern only the behavior of hadrons, thus indicating that the ψ itself is a hadron.
4.4. Search for Other Narrow Resonances
By operating the SPEAR storage ring in a “scanning” mode, we have been able to carry out a systematic search for any other very narrow, psi-like resonances that may exist. In this scanning mode, the ring is filled and set to the initial energy for the scan; data are taken for a minute or two; the ring energy is increased by about an MeV; data are taken again; and so forth. Figure 9 shows these scan data from c.m. energies of about 3.2 to 8 GeV [11, 12]. No statistically significant peaks (other than the gf that was found in our first scan) were observed in this search, but this needs two qualifications. The first is that the sensitivity of the search extends down to a limit on possible resonances that have a cross section x width of about 5% to 10%, of that of the ψ. The second qualification is that the particular method of search is sensitive only to extremely narrow resonances like the ψ and y’; other, much broader resonances have been found at SPEAR, and we shall soon see how these apparently much different states fit into the picture.

father 339.fat.002 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
Dayan occasionally gave antiquities from his collection, e.g. to the king of Morocco (Dayan 1981:42; Ben Ezer 1997:286). A Chalcolithic ossuary from Azur reached the Louvre, Paris, where it was proudly marked as a donation from Dayan (Ben-Ezer 1997:219). Ruth Dayan gave, for Christmas, an ancient lamp from Dayan�s collection to a Christian father in Nazareth (Dayan R. and Dedman 1973:237). When Ron Miberg, a journalist, visited Zahala in 1977, Dayan gave him a head of a Roman pillar as a gift for Miberg�s father (Miberg 1991:20).
On special occasions Dayan gave antiquities to relatives. When Yael gave birth, he gave her a statuette of a lioness and a cub (Dayan Y 1985:193; Yael�s introduction in Ornan 1986). Sometimes Dayan could not offer love or affection, so he gave antiquities instead (Dayan Y. 1985:108; Yael�s introduction in Ornan 1986). Dayan�s grandson Saar showed interest in archaeology, and was allowed to chose three items from the collection in each visit to his grandfather.� �Well, Saar, what shall I miss from the collection this time?... Usually, he would allow me to take one [item]; during hours of special generosity, all the three� (Dayan S. 1991:20).� On his last visit, Dayan gave Saar a special holiday present of ten scarabs. According to Saar, they came from Egypt: �Grandfather knew that my interest in archaeology reached a point where I could distinguish real from fake. He lit the lamp, held close the magnifying glass...and we both looked at the scarabs like experts evaluating the merchandise� (Dayan S. 1991:20).� Indeed, the term merchandise is appropriate here.

exactly 551.exa.997 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
The question of whether life is common or rare in the universe has deep philosophical implications. It is uncertain exactly how life arose on Earth, so it is difficult to determine how common such mechanisms are. But if life also arose on Mars, this would show that those mechanisms operated not just once, but twice, arguing that life may well be common elsewhere.
However, the search for life on Mars thus far has been unsuccessful. Some portion of the scientific community feels that further searches are a waste of time, while another portion remains neutral or guardedly optimistic. In principle, it's simple to prove that there is life on Mars -- all one need do is find an example. Proving there isn't life on Mars is much harder. Even a prolonged negative search can be countered with the suggestion of yet another, more inaccessible place in which to look.
In the case of Mars, the issue has been complicated by the emotional belief in an Earthlike Mars, which has largely been shown to have been a myth. Mars is a spectacular place, and will remain so even if it is finally proved to be lifeless. Today, we don't know for sure if there is or ever was life on Mars. But one thing is certain -- one day, there will be.

reading 44.rea.00 Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire
The exploration of possible UFO abduction experiences is a time-consuming, often disturbing process, one that is not to be undertaken lightly. To be merely curious is not enough. One must enter into it with a sense of determination and commitment. If, after reading this, you feel that you must have answers to your unusual personal experiences, move forward slowly and carefully. Remember, this is your life and not the investigator's or therapist's. If you feel that the investigator or therapist is not giving you the support that you deserve, you should feel no obligation to continue with him or her. We are all in the process of learning about this extraordinary phenomenon and professional competency is not yet very widespread. Any information you can provide us about your experiences with researchers and therapists is greatly appreciated so that those who are competent can be recommended, and those who are not can be helped.
