(1) From: Dan Rubenstein <thomasa@edcen.ehhs.cmich.edu> 2/7/96

I am hoping someone affiliated with CND can provide the address to which
donations for the victims of the Lijiang earthquake may be sent.  My wife
and I visited Dali and Lijiang in 1992 and have fond memories of the people
there. However, I am concerned that the money goes to the right people. I
would also appreciate info on the best form for the money to take, i.e.,
check, money order, or what (As of a year ago U.S. banks could not issue
RMB, and I doubt they can denominate checks in it).

Thanks.

There has been a 7.0 grade (Richter scale) earthquake in Yun Nan, China on
3rd Feb, 1996. The earthquake caused enormous destruction to both human 
lives and properties. At the moment the actual casulties and property losses
are still increasing.

Those survived are now facing other great threats: they lack
sufficient medical equipment to cure the wounded, they lack enough
clothing to face the extreme cold (most of them have to sleep on the
open area without any shelter), they don't have any electricity. They
need us, who are lucky enough to live in this piece of land, away from
any threat of diseases and coldness, to lend our helping hand!

I pledge you to offer your help, be it material, physical or
simply spiritual! There are people like you and me suffering in the
Yun Nan district. Give your help now!

Please let as many people know this message as possible. I have
set up a temporary web site describing the most recent report on this
incident, and the various channels that you can give out your solid
help. The address is:

	http://www.hkstar.com/~winstate/elton/elton.html

Please inform me any other channels or information that are related to
this incident. My e-mail address is:

3. YIN Cheng-Zong Performs at Carnegie Hall ............................. 31
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CND, 02/03/96] World-famous pianist Yin Cheng-Zong played Mozart, 
Schumann, Chopin, and Chinese music Saturday evening at New York's 
Carnegie Hall.  The heavy snow of the previous night, the slushy streets 
of the Big Apple, and the -4 Celsius mercury mark plus the wind chill 
factor did not stop enthusiasts to fill in most of the seats, with serious 
ears and perhaps, practitioners, standing by the door inquiring for the 
best seats earlier reserved by those who could not show up.

Most of the classic western themes Yin performed seemed less transparent 
for the uninitiated, yet when some notes were quasi-periodic they made 
themselves understandable for those who found themselves in the hall only 
ocassionally.  Moreover, the majority of the notes were euphoric and, for 
some even, moving, with prominently discreet frequency spectra.  As the 
sound waves propagated from the air chamber of the piano in the central 
stage, with Yin's keen fingers stroking the black-white keyboard, the rays 
traced out from the wavefronts enhanced by the acoustic hall to reach the 
ears of the listeners, plucking and resonating their hearts.  Primary 
pitches, secondary harmanics, tertial replenishments, and so on.   

The pianist was deeply immersed in his music, and so was the audience.  At 
the end of the scheduled programs, the claps and cheers invited Yin's 
on-call: the Red Lantern based on the original Peking opera, the Spring 
Night evolved from a melody conventionally mapped out by traditional Chinese 
instruments, and a couple more.  A few voices urged the pianist to unfold 
the "Yellow River", yet most, including the perfomer himself, thought it
better to let that special tune that symbols the Chinese identity echo in
the acoustic spots of their own cortexes by themselves.   (Frank Ling)

For those of you with world wide web capability, this is the web page
address from the IRS for downloading and printing IRS forms and
instructions.

(2) Canadians Studying or Working in the U.S.
    Source: NAFSA; Forwarded by: Bo XIONG

Summaries of 2 separate questions follow:

Case 1:
A Canadian student goes to the U.S. to study at an American school.  S/he
does not get the I-20 processed at the border and does not receive an
I-94.  The student now wants to work on campus.  The social security
office will not issue a Social Security card without the I-94.  My
initial response was to suggest that the student go to Canada during
Spring Break and reenter using the I-20.  I have been asked if, once
in the U.S., the student can obtain the I-94.  Is there another way
to resolve the student's problem?

The majority of you said the student should leave and reenter the U.S.
with an I-94 and properly stamped I-20.  Student is here under "color
of law" and is technically in B-1/B-2 category.

Some of you responded under the assumption that the student had
proffered the I-20 (s/he did not) and that the INS official had
ignored the I-20.  With that assumption in mind you suggested the
following:  File I-539 w/fee for change of status to F-1 and file
Form I-102 w/fee for replacement of lost document;  Contact local
INS and ask about deferred inspection -- they might be willing
to process assuming student presented documents at the border;
With the entry stamp in the passport showing the student entered
legally, the student/school officer at the district office will
process the I-20 and I-94 (Several of you reported good results
doing this); If I-20 stamped but I-94 not issued, might get I-94
from local INS office.

Those of you close to borders with Mexico or Canada seemed to have
the best results working with district offices in these situations.

CASE 2:

An F-1 student has lost his passport and will obtain a new passport.  He
wants to go to Canada for a visit during Spring Break.  He will not have a
visa stamp in the (new) passport.  (He is not a Canadian).  My reaction is
that he should not go to Canada.  He wants to know if he can come back to
the US with a xerox copy of the visa stamp and his I-20.  Alternately, he
suggests that he go to the US Consulate in Canada to get a new visa stamp.
(The problem, in my mind, is that they might not give him a new visa.)  Any
suggestions?

Most of you considered it risky for the student to try going to Canada with
copies of the visa stamp.  First, will he even be able to obtain a visa
to enter Canada?  Many of you thought he would not.  Others said that
he can go to Canada and return with properly endorsed I-20 as long as the
I-94 is not lost (it is) because he is covered by automatic renewal of
visa even if there is no visa in the passport.  Without the I-94, he
probably won't even get into Canada and certainly won't be able to
return without a new visa.

One wise person reminded me to document my opinion in the student file.

Within the last ten years, studying the interaction of the land surface
with visible, infrared and microwave radiation has been the subject of
much fruitful research in remote sensing. The study of the
Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) of ground
targets, especially in optical wavelengths, plays an important role not
only in the interpretation of remotely sensed images of vegetated
surfaces, but also in the fields of soil erosion, environmental
monitoring, and global change. Within the next few years, a number of
new earth-survey devices will be carried on satellite platforms for the
expressed purpose of providing spectral and directional signatures of
earth reflectances. These include MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer) and MISR (Multiangle Imaging SpectroRadiometer)
(USA, 1998), POLDER (POLarization and Directionality of Earth
Reflectance, France, 1996) and the SPOT-VEGETATION instrument (France,
1997). The global multispectral and multiangular imaging
characteristics of these instruments will usher in a new era in
satellite remote sensing.

International Workshop on Multiangular Remote Sensing (IWMRS) will be
held in Beijing, China during September 13-18, 1996, sponsored by the
State Science and Technology Commission of China, National Natural
Science Foundation of China, and National Defense Science and
Technology Commission of China. The workshop will be organized by the
Institute of Remote Sensing Applications of the Chinese Academy of
Sciences. The objective of the workshop will be to provide a forum to
exchange scientific and technical information on measurements, models
and applications of multispectral, multiangular remotely sensed data,
and to promote international cooperation and coordination of BRDF
research.

In addition to workshop presentations, the conference will include a
visit to the Solar Simulation Laboratory and Jingyuetan Remote Sensing
Test Site in Changchun, China, about two hours from Beijing by air. The
laboratory includes an apparatus that quickly and automatically
acquires a full hemisphere of directional radiance measurements from a
1 square meter target under collimated illumination by a xenon arc lamp
at zenith angles of 0-45. Other instruments for solar and atmospheric
observation are present as well. In the Beijing area, a day trip to the
nearby Changping region is planned, where intensive spectral and
directional radiance measurements from ground and airborne instruments
as well as comprehensive structural measurements have been acquired in
a target apple orchard. A stop at the Great Wall will be made along the
way.

The workshop will be held in the Beijing Friendship Hotel, Beijing,
China. The official language of the meeting is English. You are
cordially invited to attend the workshop and experience the delights of
Beijing, a world-class international capital city.
