**§3.14 Validity of enlistments.**

Service is valid unless the enlistment is voided by the service
department.

\(a\) *Enlistment not prohibited by statute*. Where an enlistment is
voided by the service department for reasons other than those stated in
paragraph (b) of this section, service is valid from the date of entry
upon active duty to the date of voidance by the service department.
Benefits may not be paid, however, unless the discharge is held to have
been under conditions other than dishonorable. Generally discharge for
concealment of a physical or mental defect except incompetency or
insanity which would have prevented enlistment will be held to be under
dishonorable conditions.

\(b\) *Statutory prohibition*. Where an enlistment is voided by the
service department because the person did not have legal capacity to
contract for a reason other than minority (as in the case of an insane
person) or because the enlistment was prohibited by statute (a deserter
or person convicted of a felony), benefits may not be paid based on that
service even though a disability was incurred during such service. An
undesirable discharge by reason of the fraudulent enlistment voids the
enlistment from the beginning.

\(c\) *Misrepresentation of age*. Active service which was terminated
because of concealment of minority or misrepresentation of age is
honorable if the veteran was released from service under conditions
other than dishonorable. Service is valid from the date of entry upon
active duty to the date of discharge.

\(d\) *Honorable discharges*. Determinations as to honorable service
will be made by the service departments and the finding shall be binding
on the Department of Veterans Affairs, but, in the case of an alien, the
effect of the discharge will be governed by §3.7(b).

**STATEMENT OF**

**CHAIRMAN MICHAEL K. POWELL**

*Re: Review of the Emergency Alert System*

For over a half century, the United States has had in place a national
warning system utilizing, in part, our Nation's broadcast outlets. From
the CONELRAD, established in 1951 by President Truman during the Korean
War to its replacement, the Emergency Broadcast System, established in
1963 by President Kennedy to the modern day Emergency Alert System
(EAS), our government has sought to employ our country's media outlets
as a mechanism for warning the American public of an emergency.

A lot has changed since 1951. As the primary role of EAS remains a
national public warning system, increasingly state and local
jurisdictions have used its capabilities to notify their citizens of
local emergencies, including natural weather disasters and in saving the
lives of many abducted children through the Amber Alert. In addition,
EAS has grown from its predecessor's birth on AM radio to FM radio,
broadcast television and wireline and wireless cable systems. Of course,
the threats to our homeland have also changed dramatically over the last
fifty years. As the world around us has changed, however, the import of
the EAS as a tool for reaching our citizenry during time of need remains
high.

We are proud to adopt this Notice today, as a result, in part, of the
recommendations of the Media Security and Reliability Council and the
Partnership for Public Warning and in coordination with our partners at
the Department of Homeland Security and its component, FEMA and the
Department of Commerce and its component, the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service.

This proceeding will provide one of many vehicles by which we
collectively explore the most effective mechanism for warning the
American public of an emergency and the role of EAS as we move further
into our digital future. I commend my colleagues here at the Commission
and our partners at DHS, FEMA, DoC and NOAA for their dedication to
making our homeland a safer place for our citizens.

Teaching and learning about evolution continues to be controversial in
many classrooms. Educators are pressured to short-change or even avoid
teaching evolution in pre-college classrooms by students, parents, and
even school boards. Further, intelligent design is advocated as an
alternative explanation to evolution as the fundamental theory for
biology. Although the recent Dover, PA, court case ruled against
teaching intelligent design as an alternative to evolution in science
classrooms, the social pressure on educators is far from over.

Teachers are members of the American public, and their attitudes about
evolution span the spectrum from creationist to scientific explanations.
This talk will review teacher attitudes on teaching evolution, and
students' perceptions of their pre-college instruction in evolution.
Resources that support teaching evolution for high school science will
be briefly reviewed.

**[Sometimes we win one:]{.underline}**

While enroute to Ukiah Air Attack base for a joint safety stand down
meeting the crew heard and felt what could be described as something
metallic being dropped on the floor of the helicopter. I inquired
whether this was the case and was told no one had dropped anything. Upon
landing at UAAB we investigated further and could not find any reason
for the noise. Maintenance was called and a mechanic was dispatched to
our location. Upon further inspection a crack was found in the lift Link
attaching bracket on top of lift beam. Aircraft was put out of service.

**From:** Humann, Tom\
**Sent:** Thursday, October 12, 2006\
**Subject:** RE: C101 crack

I wanted to pass along a job well done to both the crew of Copter 101
and the helicopter mechanics.

 

First, it is quite common to \"hear something\" or \"feel something\" in
an older model, two-bladed helicopter such as our 205.  It would be
quite understandable to merely look around for anything out of place or
listen for a repeat occurrence while still in flight.  However, Captain
Nick Mullet and the crew of 101 decided to land and further inspect. 
This decision may have saved the helicopter, as the noise and thud would
not have repeated until the other half of the lift link broke.  When
that happened, there would have been limited time to land, as this link
is the primary connection between the cabin/fuselage and the
transmission/rotor system.  The obvious takeaways here are both to trust
your instinct if it does not feel or sound right, and to not convince
yourself that everything is okay just because you can no longer
observe the problem.

 

Second, the DynCorp mechanics who discovered the crack worked
methodically, inspecting the aircraft thoroughly from top to bottom. 
This resulted in not only finding the crack in the lift link, but
also ensured that no other secondary damage had occurred.  While Bob
Fisher has identified that improper hardware was the culprit, that
hardware is the bolt normally used and has both a normal look
and similar fit.  It is only by observing the numerical identification
on the bolt face that proper differentiation can be guaranteed.  While
this is certainly no excuse and serves as a \"free\" lesson, it is
understandable.  These types of human errors ought to be analyzed and
the results shared, in order to prevent future recurrence.  All
maintenance personnel should give thought to their particular airframe,
and any parallel situations that may occur.

## Distinguishable Auditory Alert

Durand R. Begault Ph.D., Computer Specialist, 650 604 3920,

P.O. 460331, San Francisco, CA 94146-0331

NASA Ames Research Center

**BRIEF ABSTRACT**

A method and system is provided for the synthesis and two-channel
playback of an auditory alert that is relatively more detectable against
a background of noise, relative to one-channel "monaural" or "diotic"
playback of the same auditory alert. There are three components to the
method: Infusing an existing auditory alert, or creating a new auditory
alert, with a brief burst of spectral components advantageous to release
of auditory masking ; Spatial modulation ("jitter") of an existing or
new auditory alert along the auditory azimuth; and a binaural-diotic
converter for background noise.

**DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM OR OBJECTIVE THAT MOTIVATED THE
INNOVATION'S DEVELOPMENT**

The delectability of auditory alerts and warning systems for high-stress
human interfaces are for the most part designed around criteria as a
function of loudness. It is well understood from the auditory literature
that, by making spectral components of an alert substantially louder
than the measured background noise level, one can insure for the
audibility or "detection" of such a signal. Such detection is referred
to as "release from masking" in that spectral components of the signal
are sufficiently greater in amplitude such that they may be heard.
However, there has not been a method taught by which an auditory alert
or alarm enables release from masking by means of spatial manipulation
of both the signal and the background noise responsible for the masking.
In addition there has not been a method taught where existing signals
can be enhanced via the addition of a brief signal burst, so as to yield
improved intelligibility.

Using an airline flight deck as an exemplary high-stress environment,
the reason loudness as opposed to spatial or analytical frequency
methods has been used in prior art is primarily due the relatively poor
quality of communication equipment and the use of loudspeakers or
single-earpiece headset playback systems. Part of the purpose of this
patent is to address headphone or binaural loudspeaker systems that may
become incorporated into flight deck, 911 consoles, machine operator
transportation, media, and communications devices that will require the
human to process a great deal of information. It is unreasonable to
provide alerts and warnings using loudness as a criterion because other
desirable signals as opposed to noise may be masked. Also, the
background noise of these types of environments will be continually
reduced, allowing for presentation of informative or alerting types of
signals without the need for levels that have the potential to create a
"startle" effect.

**Request No.:** BPA-CR/YA-019

**Request:** Witnesses: Sheets, et al

Exhibit: SN-03-E-CR/YA-01, Page 11, lines 16-17.

In this section, CRITFC states that "\[t\]he Administration committed
that the implementation of the Endangered Species Act would complement
the obligation to restore our Treaty fishery." Please provide the
documentation of the Administration's position upon which this statement
is based. Please also provide documentation of the extent to which the
Treaty fisheries include listed species, and if so, whether the overall
harvest and catch rates have increased or decreased over the past decade

**Response:**

Please see attachments BPA-CR-019A&B.pdf. This is a July 21, 1998 letter
from Terry Garcia, the Deputy Administer of NOAA to Ted Strong, who was
then the executive director of CRITFC. He states "it is our policy that
the recovery of salmonid populations must achieve two goals: 1) the
recovery and delisting of salmonids listed under the provisions of the
ESA; 2) the restoration of salmonid populations, over time, to a level
to provide a sustainable harvest sufficient to allow for the meaningful
exercise of tribal fishing rights. We see no conflict between the
statutory goals of the ESA and the federal trust responsibility to
Indian tribes. Rather, the two federal responsibilities complement each
other." The letter also states that ..."the tribes may reasonably
expect, as a matter of policy, that tribal fishing rights will be given
priority over the interests of other entities, federal and non-federal,
that do not stand in a trust relationship with the United States."

We note that the federal government has a long way to go toward
achieving even interim targets for the tribal fishery. In the 1995
Wy-Kan-Ush-Mi Wa-Kish-Wit, the tribes' interim tributary return goals
totaling 1,379,635 salmon and steelhead. These numbers reflect a
combination of spawning and harvest goals in the tributaries. These
numbers do not include mainstem harvest. The tribes identified a goal of
326,000 upriver spring chinook. Counts of spring chinook at Bonneville
Dam have exceeded that number only once since 1976 and have exceeded
100,000 only 11 times during that same period. The return of adults in
2000, prior to mainstem fishing and dam conversion, was about 950,000.
