 four sculptors: cris duncan, geoffrey heyworth, karlis rekevics, sally tittmann   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The way Duncan makes his drawings, which are intricate mono-clusters consisting of intertwining short fl lines and over-painting that does not completely conceal previous layers of drawing, is similar to how he puts a sculpture together.
The contrast of hard and soft, between the linear steel and the swathes and bulges of the concrete or plaster, dramatizes the interpenetration of space.
Duncan’s bronze sculptures, usually tabletop size, are reminiscent of Futurist sculptures, or Picasso’s blocky female heads from his analytical cubist period.

 Amazon.com: Marking Time: The Epic Quest to Invent the Perfect Calendar: Books: Duncan Steel,Duncan Steel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Duncan Steel, an English space scientist, extends that argument in Marking Time, a broad-ranging history of the Western calendar--a chronological system that is logical after a fashion, but strangely flawed all the same.
Steel examines the long history of attempts to give the calendar a basis in astronomical fact, shows how the advent of the railroad brought with it the need for a system of standardized mean time, examines the likeliest dates for the birth and death of Jesus, and plucks countless fascinating oddments from the historical record.
Steel's style may be a bit too chatty for some and too full of anecdotes about his youth in England and his experiences in the US and Austrialia.

Steel then discounts this argument, as being based on one questionable assumption: Namely, that *older* "trails" are statistically likely to be observed to produce *more diffuse* activity...
Steel: and in particular, in reading the reference you cite (Jones and Jones 1993), I was intrigued by the complexity and seemingly magisterial nature of the ejection/evolution model which the authors used to "create" a wide array of different observed showers, all from this one parent.
In CCNet 4 of 7 January, Duncan Steel reponded to this with: "This is not true.

 High Strangeness: Alien Probe?
Later, the object's heliocentric orbital elements suggested instead that "the object might be a returning spacecraft." As the approximately 30-foot object, now labeled 1991 VG, neared the Earth, astronomers at the Eur opean Southern Observatory tracked it and found strong, rapid brightness variations suggestive of reflections from a rotating spacecraft.
Steel first wondered whether the object could be a returning spacecraft, given those brightness variations and its very Earth-like orbit.
Therefore, concludes Steel, we have to seriously consider the possibility that this object has "an alien genesis." Given our meager surveillance of near-Earth objects, there is little chance that objects of this kind would have been spotted in the past.

Contending that the risk of an American being killed by a comet or asteroid collision during a lifetime is one in ten thousand, Duncan Steel argues that the government should spend at least one billion dollars a year protecting citizens from such an event.
That collision probability is higher than the probability of being killed by floods, tornados, and jet accidents combined, though it is much lower than the probabilities of dying from autos, fires, homicides, and accidental shootings.
Steel summarizes the history of asteroid and comet study, writing that there are a billion comets in the Oort cloud well beyond Pluto and Neptune.

Steel estimates that a massive asteroid capable of wiping out a fourth of humanity can be expected to collide with Earth roughly once every 100,000 years.
Steel's hypothesis that the Taurid meteoroid stream poses the major risk to Earth is bound to be controversial, as is his speculation that the Taurid Complex of meteor showers produced huge storms and Tunguska-type explosions on Earth around 4500 years ago?and that Stonehenge was built to observe and predict these cataclysms.
Duncan Steel is one of the best known advocates for a near Earth observation system, and he and others like him should be listened to.
