attn: greenhouse gas emission guidelines

I am writing to you regarding the new emission guidelines, I ask that
you strengthen reporting standards in order to ensure that the public
has an accurate picture of the level of greenhouse gasses in the air.
This is absolutely necessary given the current conditions. Please
consider the following;

A voluntary reporting program, while encouraging to companies, may not

provide citizens with adequate information about the health of the air
we breathe. Allowing participants to decide which greenhouse gasses to
report leaves the door open to only reporting those emissions which the
company is successfully controlling - but they may choose not to report
emissions which are dangerously high. Indirect emission reductions
should be allowed to be registered to encourage companies to report all
emissions. All polluting entities, not just the 365 that have chosen to
do so, should be required to report greenhouse emissions AND the status
of emission reduction programs. Tax incentives should be awarded to
companies who reduce pollutants by large levels\--unlike

the Clear Skies plan which gives incentives to initiatives, successful
or not. It is important to provide clarity and flexibility to reporting
entities, but there must be regulation to ensure that adequate reporting
is taking place for all entities, especially the \"substantial\"
emitters. Guidelines should be clear and transparent, but certainly
rigorous also. Independent verification of registry reports should be
required, not just \"supported.\" Greenhouse gas intensity rates should
be required in the reports, not just \"encouraged.\"

Raise the 18% goal. This is not adequate to protect public health.

Lastly, reporting reductions in quantified emissions does not benefit
the public. An entity should report 100% of its total emissions.

Given the dire state of Americans\' health, it is imperative to ensure
that pollutants are minimized, regulated and examined carefully and
thoroughly. Lung cancer and asthma run rampant where pollution is heavy,
and I hope the Department of Energy will assert its authority and become
a world leader in the fight to clean our air. For the health of the
world and all of it\'s people please do this!

Sincerely,

Magnus Macnab

**What is the moon\'s orbital period?**\
\
The moon moves in an orbit around the Earth about once every month. But
the moon actually has two different orbital periods depending on the
location of the observer. So, let\'s first understand what we mean when
we say: \"The moon goes around the Earth\".\
\
**SIDEREAL PERIOD\
**The sidereal period or month is the time it takes the moon to move one
full circle (actually an ellipse) around the Earth (360 degrees). It is
the time it takes the moon to return to the same position against the
background of stars; as if viewed by an observer outside our solar
system. A sidereal month is equal to 27.3 days.\
\
**SYNODIC PERIOD\
**The moon\'s synodic (pronounced \"si nod ik\") period is the time it
takes it to go from full moon to full moon.  This is longer than a
synodic month because the Earth has advanced a little ( 360 degrees /
365.25 days per year  = 0.9856 degrees per day) in its orbit around the
sun. To go from full moon to full moon, the sun, Earth, and moon must
lie in a straight line and return to a straight line, so the moon must
go a bit more than 360 degrees to catch up with the Earth. A synodic
month is 29.5 days.\
\
You can calculate both the sidereal orbital period yourself !\
\
You can calculate the orbital period of any object orbiting the Earth
including the moon from the following equation which is simply Kepler\'s
third law of motion (remember? P\^2 \~ a\^3) expressed by Issac Newton
using his gravitational constant, u:\
\
        P = 2pi \* sqrt (a\^3 / u)\
\
Where\
        P = orbital period ( in seconds)\
        pi = 3.14159\....\
        a = semi major axis of the orbit (=384,400 km)\
        u = gravitational constant ( = 398,601 km\^3 / sec\^2 for
Earth)\
\
Now, plug in the above values to get the sidereal orbital period, P.
Remember, the answer you get will be in seconds so make sure to convert
to days.

suitable materials and any needed structures to protect areas heavily
impacted by livestock, vehicles or development.

### 3BPRACTICE INFORMATION

This practice is usually applied on agricultural land or developed land
used intensively by livestock, vehicles, and people. Treatment provided
by this practice is primarily for erosion control, but also addresses
other types of natural resource degradation including aesthetics.

The prescribed surface treatment is designed to accommodate the specific
type of traffic expected to occur. Surface treatment may involve
pavement for vehicle traffic, or vegetation may provide sufficient
protection for people and animal traffic.

Impermeable surfaces such as pavement increase runoff. Therefore,
provision for drainage is always considered when planning this practice.

### 4B

###  COMMON ASSOCIATED PRACTICES

Heavy Use Area Protection is commonly used in a Conservation Management
System with practices such as Prescribed Grazing (528), Vegetated
Treatment Area (635), Nutrient Management (590), Waste Storage Facility
(313), Roof Runoff Structure (558), Filter Strip (393), and practices
for erosion and sediment control.

***Economic Injury Loans for Small Businesses***

SBA Disaster Assistance--Field Operations Center East-One Baltimore
Place, Suite 300-Atlanta, GA 30308

**Release Date:** August 8, 2007 **Contact:** Michael Lampton

**Release Number:** 07-597, PA 10748 **Phone:** 404-347-3771

**SBA Deadline To Apply**

**For Economic Injury Disaster Loans Is September 11**

**SCRANTON, Pa. -** The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is
reminding businesses in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that Economic
Injury Disaster Loans (EIDLs) are still available to small businesses
economically impacted by severe storms and flooding on November 16 --
17, 2006.

"Small businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the
disaster and want to apply for\
low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the
**September 11** deadline," said Frank Skaggs, Director of SBA Field
Operations Center East**.**

Small businesses may apply for loans up to \$l.5 million if they
suffered substantial economic injury from the disaster. These working
capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable,
and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.
These loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.

Small Businesses in Carbon, Columbia, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe,
Schuylkill, Sullivan, and Wyoming counties in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania are eligible to apply.

The interest rate on these loans is 4 percent, with a maximum term of 30
years. The SBA determines the amount of economic injury and the terms of
each loan based on the financial circumstances of each borrower.

To obtain a loan application, interested business owners should contact
SBA's Customer Service Center by calling 1-800-659-2955 (1-800-877-8339
for the hearing-impaired) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
and Saturday 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT. Business disaster loan
applications can also be downloaded from the SBA's website at
[*www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance*](http://www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance).

**MO6 Guide for Albedo, Dry**

## *618.04 Albedo, Dry.*

**(a) Definition.** Albedo, dry, is the estimated ratio of the incident
shortwave (solar) radiation that is reflected by the air-dry, less than
2 mm fraction of the soil surface to that received by it.

**(b) Significance.** Soil albedo, as a function of soil color and angle
of incidence of the solar radiation, depends on the inherent color of
the parent material, organic matter content, and weathering conditions.

Estimates of the evapotranspiration rates and for predicting soil water
balances require the albedo. Evapotranspiration and soil hydrology
models that are part of Water Quality and Resource Assessment programs
require this information.

**(c) Measurement.** Instruments exist that measure albedo.

**(d) Estimation.** Approximate the values by use of the following
formula:

Soil Albedo=0.069 x (Color Value} - 0.ll4. For albedo, dry, use dry
color value. Surface roughness has a separate significant impact on the
actual albedo. The equation above is the albedo of \<2.0 mm smoothed
soil condition, but if the surface is rough because of tillage, the
albedo differs.

**(e) Entries.** Enter the high, low, and representative values of the
map unit component using the above formula. Allowable entries range from
0.00 to 1.00, with 2 decimal places.

  ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------
  Dry Color Value                    Albedo Dry Value

  2                                  0.02

  2.5                                0.06

  3                                  0.09

  4                                  0.16

  5                                  0.23

  6                                  0.30

  7                                  0.37

  8                                  0.44
  ---------------------------------- ------------------------------------

For soils with O horizons at the surface, assign albedo using the color
value of the first mineral horizon. (added 1/23/2006 TWH)
**§4.17a Misconduct etiology.**

A permanent and total disability rating under the provisions of §§4.15,
4.16 and 4.17 will not be precluded by reason of the coexistence of
misconduct disability when:

\(a\) A veteran, regardless of employment status, also has innocently
acquired 100 percent disability, or

\(b\) Where unemployable, the veteran has other disabilities innocently
acquired which meet the percentage requirements of §§4.16 and 4.17 and
would render, in the judgment of the rating agency, the average person
unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation.

\[40 FR 42536, Sept. 15 1975, as amended at 43 FR 45349, Oct. 2, 1978\]

**§4.18 Unemployability.**

A veteran may be considered as unemployable upon termination of
employment which was provided on account of disability, or in which
special consideration was given on account of the same, when it is
satisfactorily shown that he or she is unable to secure further
employment. With amputations, sequelae of fractures and other residuals
of traumatism shown to be of static character, a showing of continuous
unemployability from date of incurrence, or the date the condition
reached the stabilized level, is a general requirement in order to
establish the fact that present unemployability is the result of the
disability. However, consideration is to be given to the circumstances
of employment in individual claims, and, if the employment was only
occasional, intermittent, tryout or unsuccessful, or eventually
terminated on account of the disability, present unemployability may be
attributed to the static disability. Where unemployability for pension
previously has been established on the basis of combined
service-connected and nonservice-connected disabilities and the
service-connected disability or disabilities have increased in severity,
§4.16 is for consideration.

\[40 FR 42536, Sept. 15, 1975, as amended at 43 FR 45349, Oct. 2, 1978\]
**Support an Earmark Moratorium**

*Become a Cosponsor of H.Res. 727*

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="3.7916666666666665in"
height="3.3569444444444443in"}

Dear Colleague,

Appropriations bills continue to come to the floor with thousands of
earmarks spending millions of taxpayer dollars. Conference reports
continue to contain airdropped earmarks that Members of Congress cannot
challenge. Rules to ensure transparency in the earmarking process
continue to be waived. The media continues to publish reports raising
critical ethical concerns regarding how earmarks are handed out. Simply
put, it is time to put a halt to the broken earmarking process.

At the beginning of last month, Representative Jerry Moran and I
introduced H.Res. 727. H.Res. 727 represents a moratorium on earmarks.
***This resolution would prohibit the consideration of any legislation
that includes earmarks until a bipartisan panel comprised of Members
issues a report making recommendations to the House on how to better
provide oversight of the congressional earmarking process to prevent
waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funds.***

I urge you to cosponsor H.Res. 727, which represents an essential step
in restoring integrity to the appropriations process. Please contact
Chandler C. Morse (x5-2635) for more information.

Sincerely

JEFF FLAKE JERRY MORAN

## Director Chu's Column

Talking Together Over Brown Bags

Soon after I arrived at Berkeley Lab in 2005, I sought to understand the
type of workplace we had here. The best way I knew to get a real sense
of what was going on was to talk to the people "in the trenches" who
were doing so much of the work.

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="2.0819444444444444in"
height="2.4895833333333335in"}

So I arranged a series of lunchtime "brown bags" in the lower cafeteria
--- small group discussions with no agenda and no members of upper
management present. These informal conversations, which I have attempted
to maintain on at least a one-per-month schedule, have been invaluable
to me in finding out about people's thoughts and concerns about Berkeley
Lab and the way it works (or doesn't).

I have been pleasantly surprised at how candid and forthcoming people
have been with me. I sometimes joke that the brown bags are a
"subversive" way of finding out what's really going on. By that, I mean
that the brown bags give me a reality check on what I hear through
normal channels. In the same way, I am grateful to have the opportunity
to explain programs and management decisions that employees might want
to know more about.

Over the course of more than a dozen of these brown bags (we rotate them
across the divisions and departments), the topics of conversation have
included science, federal policy, workplace conditions, budgets, the
energy challenge, and the nuts-and-bolts of everyday tasks. I take these
inputs back with me to my senior managers and, when necessary, ask them
to follow up on issues that need attention.

Another initiative I embraced came from the Diversity Best Practices
Committee, which had a desire to take the pulse of the workplace and
determine if the environment is conducive to enabling the best science
and the highest employee productivity. A first-ever workplace climate
survey was developed and offered last summer, and an impressive
one-third of all employees, including 60 percent of all career
employees, filled out the survey.

Now we are in the process of interpreting what those results mean.
Although the overall results were generally favorable in terms of how
employees feel about the Lab, a few responses merit closer attention in
areas such as career advancement, decision-making, and management
efficiency.

To explore these attitudes more fully, I scheduled three employee brown
bags for this month, two of which were held this week and another
scheduled for next Tuesday. If you have not yet participated but wish to
share your views about the workplace, please join me at noon in
Perseverance Hall for our final discussion.

And as I get around to all the divisions in my monthly brown bag
schedule, I hope to talk with many of you in a continuing dialogue about
how to make Berkeley Lab the best that it can be.
