Michel said that the FCC did not address this issue and he had no specific data but it was his understanding that RF waves spread out horizontally but did not go up or down and would bounce off walls but less off windows.
Mayor pro tem Stern emphasized that, although he understood the distinction she was making, the Council was obligated to follow the code and that staff's interpretation of the code seemed correct.

Mayor and other scientists celebrating a decade of planet detection around nearby stars recently gathered here for a symposium sponsored by the Hubble Space Telescope Science Institute.
However, because of improvements in technology, the latest gravitational-wobble discoveries from Mayor's group and from the other leading team headed by Geoff Marcy of the University of California-Berkeley are much smaller.
Most intriguing, some of these smaller planets appear to be rocky "terrestrial" planets, although they orbit so close to their stars that surface temperatures range from 300 to 1,160 degrees, too hot to support life.

 Nature Science Update - article
Just over a year ago, Dr Michel Mayor and Dr Didier Queloz of the Geneva Observatory in Switzerland announced the possible discovery of the first planet around a Sun-like star called 51 Pegasi.
This is a new and unexpected type of oscillation, which is why Drs Mayor and Queloz discounted that explanation for their results, but their equipment did not have the ability to measure the subtle variations that Dr Gray has found.
No criticism of Drs Mayor and Queloz is intended or justified -- they did the best they could with their equipment, and realized that someone might eventually find just what Gray has seen.

A picaresque novel about the corrupt and venal mayor of a fictitious Riviera resort has aroused the fury of the real mayor of Saint-Tropez, who is suing on the grounds that the book's central character is plainly based on him.
Jean-Michel Couve, the conservative mayor of the best-known fishing village in the world, says he "recognises himself" in Max Farini, the very Mediterranean mayor penned by Christian Millau, a fellow Saint-Tropez resident and founding editor of the Gault and Millau restaurant guide.
While the incumbent, who has been mayor of Saint-Tropez since 1983, eventually won, the two candidates were separated by only 11 votes.

We find a period of 4.2 days which is presumably the orbital period of the unseen companion as it gravitationally pulls its host star around in a circle.
We therefore confirm the sinusoidal velocity variations reported by Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz of Geneva Observatory.
