  Nu Octantis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Way down the Greek letter list, Nu Oct oddly beats out the next star down, fifth magnitude (4.15) Beta Oct, while the Alpha star, usually a constellation's brightest, is a full magnitude (5.15) fainter yet.
Consistently, Nu Oct is relatively small, its remarkably low radius of 6.3 times solar hardly befitting a star called a "giant." The reasons involve mass and evolutionary status.
But in Nu Octantis's case, we probably need not worry about what is going to happen to its planets, as the star has a binary companion close enough to it to make a planetary system unlikely (though given the odd planetary systems astronomers are finding, who knows?).

 LETTER: NU chasing funny, 'fire or train' chant malicious - Opinion
As to the incidents described in the letter, I did not hear or observe the bullhorn incident: "If you were a BU student, how would you prefer to die: Fire or train?" but agree that if it took place as described, there is no excuse for such classless behavior.
On the other hand, I did observe the second incident "NU students chased someone in a BU jersey and mimicked beating him with baseball bats" and missed any connection between it and the unfortunate real-life assaults on BU students.
After the BU vs. NU game, I sent an email to my BU daughter telling her what a great game it was, and how much I enjoy the spirit of both BU and NU fans.

 Three Gorges Probe - Nu River campaign gathers steam
The open letter - signed by 61 organizations and 99 individuals when it was submitted to the central government a month ago - has since been posted on the website of the Beijing-based Friends of Nature, China's oldest non-government environmental group, founded by historian Liang Congjie in 1994.
Plans to dam the Nu River, one of only two major rivers in China that remain undammed, became public knowledge two years ago when it was revealed that the China Huadian Group and local power firms had been granted permission to build a cascade of 13 hydroelectric dams on the river.
In their letter, the two men argue that developing the hydropower potential of the Nu River is the only way to alleviate poverty and improve the environment of the region.

 Three Gorges Probe - Open letter puts pressure on Beijing over secretive dam plans
Controversy has swirled around the proposal to dam the Nu River since it was first revealed two years ago that the China Huadian Group and local power firms had been granted permission to build a cascade of 13 hydroelectric dams on the river.
But, the authors of the letter complain, the public continues to be excluded from decision-making related to the Nu River scheme, all of which is going on behind closed doors.
The signatories of the open letter would like to see the Nu River scheme become a test case, and the first of many such projects to be subjected to public scrutiny.

 No Nu in Line 2 of 7Q5, Part 1
Thiede accounts for the absence of a complete diagonal stroke by explaining that the dark spot near the top of the mistaken iota is a fault (Verwerfung) in the surface of the papyrus that was caused by the heavy pressure of the pen exerted by the scribe when he commenced writing the diagonal stroke.
Is this a diagonal stoke from a nu?
If one were to extend the purported diagonal stroke downward at the same angle as that of the sharp upper edge of the elongated dark spot until it met the trace of ink at the lower right corner of the photograph, he would observe that this stroke goes too far to the right.

This letter is further to the advisory posted by ICANN on 19 September 2003 regarding the changes to the operation of the.com and.net Top Level Domains announced by VeriSign on 15 September 2003, and in response to your letter of 21 September 2003.
These changes involved the introduction (for the first time in the.com and.net domains) of a so-called "wildcard" mechanism that changes the expected error response for Internet traffic that would otherwise have resulted in a "no domain" response, and redirects that traffic to a VeriSign-operated webpage with links to alternative choices and to a search engine.

 E-996 Peruvian Letters
First of all, I thank you for your letter of March 25, 2002 in which you state the official position of Microsoft relative to Bill Number 1609, Free Software in Public Administration, which is indubitably inspired by the desire for Peru to find a suitable place in the global technological context.
It is also necessary to make it clear that the aim of the Bill we are discussing is not directly related to the amount of direct savings that can by made by using free software in state institutions.
And as the whole infrastructure is based on proprietary data formats, the user stays "trapped" in the need to continue using products from the same supplier, or to make the huge effort to change to another environment (probably also proprietary).

 LETTER: NU's cheering inappropriate - Opinion
Two students of the BU community died less than one week ago, and that comment was a blatant insult to those students, their families and their memory.
or perhaps NU students don't read or remember that three members of the BU hockey team and one girl's lacrosse player were recently beaten unconscious by hooded assailants in Allston.
On both counts, I am repulsed and I feel that someone should contact the fan community at NU to remind them of where the line is as far as putting down the other team versus disrespecting human beings that don't go to your school.
