Profits plunged 45 percent to !180 million ... But in the same issue Chip Sales Expected to Rebound Semiconductor Group Predicts Double-Digit Growth in 1999 The Associated Press SAN JOSE, Calif. Asias weak economies, a slow-down in personal computer sales and an overabundance of memory chips will push own semiconductor sales nearly 2 percent this year, according to an industry group. But those troubles are expected to ease in the second half of 1998, boosting sales and returning the industry to double-digit growth next year and beyond, the Semiconductor Industry Association said. Thanks to the unprecedented growth of Internet usage, we now expect the industrys expansion to occur in 1999 as semiconductor growth rates return to their historical averages of 17 percent or more, said SIA president George Scalise. ... John Young Albuquerque Journal f 6/5/98 India, Pakistan Nuke Claims Exaggerated, Scientists Say By David S. Cloud Chicago Tribune WASHINGTON - American scientists monitoring remote sites where India and Pakistan detonated nucleardevices sharply question public claims by both nations about the size and number of weapons tested. Scientists examining seismic data on the tests, picked up at monitoring stations around the globe, say that both India and Pakistan have exaggerated the explosive power of the detonations and perhaps even the total number of devices tested. The Clinton administration has similar doubts about the claims by the South Asian rivals. Pakistani officials apparently disconnect a seismic monitor that would have given outsiders more precise data about their tests. And two nuclear devices that India claimed to have set off were not detected by a single known seismic monitor station anywhere in the world. ... The gap between the claims and the seismic data suggests that the test may not have gone as well as each side announced, said experts interviewed by the Chicago Tribune. The discrepancies in monitoring data prove ammunition for some critics of an international test-ban treaty. These critics argue that the lack of data for Indias announced second round of nuclear weapons tests calls into question whether clandestine nuclear test can be accurately monitored. ... Jim Durham, Sandias seismic CTBT project leader http://jya.com/da/whpda.htm, told me that the coupling [impendance match?] between the bomb and the surrounding ground had much to do with what a seismic station receives.

Schmidt The Associated Press WASHINGTON - Three miles under water, the USS Yorktowns four-barrel anti-aircraft gun still aims skyward 56 years after the aircraft carrier went to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, a victim of the Battle of Midway. Photos and video of the giant ship, sitting upright on the ocean floor, were unveiled Thursday by Robert Ballard, the undersea explorer who found the wrecks of the Titanic and the German battleship Bismarck. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/features/98/midway/ REASON is that Ballard uses PolyForth http://av.yahoo.com/bin/query?p=polyforth&z=2&hc=0&hs=0 in the submersible robots, Jeff Allsup of Woods Hole told me. Allsup downloaded ALL of the code and documentation from my Forth http://jya.com/f86/whpf86.htm book from Vesta in Colorado at 1,200 bps. Allsup told me this took several days. This is same software technology which is used for the US satellite program. http://groucho.gsfc.nasa.gov/forth/ Java http://www.mrl.nyu.edu/meyer/jvmref/ appears also to be a byte threaded code technology. Lets hope for settlement of the unfortunate matter so that we can all got on to other constructive projects.
