Yet the equal day and night does not arrive here until the 26th.

my? I'm in misery, and you're worrying about the equinox. Great. I have the coid from hell. The worst cold in history. It's worse than Genghis Khan.

I haven't had a cold for a year or so, so I'm actually kind of enjoying have something new to whine about. Anyway, your question would have been more appropriately directed to The Republic's astronomy expert, John Stanley, who is affectionately known around the newsroom as John Stanley. But I say, let Stanley find his own stuff to write about; I have a cold. You are correct, sir, the equinox is at 10:27 a.m. today.

Sunrise is at or was at, depending on what time you read this 6:16 a.m. Sunset is 6:27 p.m. This leaves nine more minutes of day than night. This difference drops over the next few days until Tuesday, the 26th when sunrise will be at 6:19 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:20 p.m.

This is all give-or-take a few seconds here and there. It's a matter of latitude. In the Northern Hemisphere, at higher latitudes the day of equal night and day is closer to the equinox than at lower latitudes. At five degrees latitude, the equal date is Oct. 15.

At 40 degrees, it's Sept. 26. It also has something to do with the fact the sunrise and sunset times are based on the outer rim of the sun's disk while the equinox is based on the center of the disk. It gets pretty complicated. You can check it out at aa.usno.navy You could probably prove this yourself with a basket-' ball and a light bulb, but I have no idea how.

Actually, I don't really care right now. Did I mention that I have a cold? Reach Thompson at clay.thompsonarizona republic.com or (602) 444-8612. Low Med.

"His projections are a bit optimistic, but the public should have ample opportunity to participate," said Gary Roe, Scottsdale's redevelopment director. Roe said the higher-than-expected profit margin should allow the city to get out of debt in 15 years, which is half the time Ellman estimated. Roe's also confident the city will have a chance to grab early profits if Ellman decides to cash in.

"What the city asked for is raw data, and that's exactly -what we sent themJie said. "This is just the beginning of a meaningful dialogue.

We look forward to sitting down and going through the finance plan." The city's representative in the negotiations thinks Ell- a huge deal and we still don't know their financial strength," said Dolan, who's also asking for Ellman's list of investors pitching dollars into the project.
