Two-dimensional series evaluations via the elliptic functions of Ramanujan and Jacobi

We evaluate in closed form, for the first time, certain classes of double series, which are remindful of lattice sums. Elliptic functions, singular moduli, class invariants, and the Rogers--Ramanujan continued fraction play central roles in our evaluationsComment: 12 page

Comments on the Impact of the Good Friday Earthquake on the Alaskan Economy

Notes that the dominance of the public sector, in particular the Federal Government, and the abnormally low role of private business, in the economy of Alaska, are factors which minimize effects of loss and speed reconstruction.
