**Truchas Land Grant Recovering From Wildfire**

Healthy grass grows today in the Truchas Land Grant where a year ago the
charred leavings of a major wildfire dominated the landscape. The
reseeded area\'s recovery was so significant in the past year it proved
many erosion control plans unnecessary.

\"The way the vegetation came up there was no need to install some of
the planned small earth erosion control structures,\" said Edward
Romero, District Conservationist for the United States Department of
Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service in Espanola.
\"Minimal erosion has been occurring because of the good vegetative
response.\"

The Truchas Land Grant area burned in a wildfire May of 2002, scorching
2000 acres - 500 acres intensely. The reseeding took to the air in
August using a fixed wing plane.

\"We achieved much greater results than an individual with a tank on
their back could have,\" Romero said.

The reseeding on the Land Grant was paid for using Emergency Watershed
Protection funds from Natural Resources Conservation Service matched by
local Soil and Water Conservation District monies. The reseeding was
also a joint effort with the United States Forest Service who had the
private land flown at the same time the national forest land was
reseeded. The area was reseeded using slender wheat grass, mountain
brome grass, spring barley, and annual rye.

Natural Resources Conservation Service followed up this spring with
field surveys to identify and locate where tree plantings and the needed
erosion structures would be sited. They completed designs and staked out
improvements. The East Rio Arriba Soil and Water Conservation District
then secured funding in excess of \$30,000 from Natural Resources
Conservation Service under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program
(EQIP) to replant trees, install cross fencing, and make other
improvements to rehabilitate the burned area. Most recently, the Youth
Conservation Corps from Chimayo assisted in planting 10,000 trees and
other plants in July.

\"Because of the 2002 Farm Bill, Natural Resources Conservation Service
is able to support so much more conservation for private landowners,\"
said Romero. \"There just is a very large demand for conservation
assistance, though, so competition is steep and some private landowners
have to wait awhile.\"

**COMPOSITION OF STAINLESS STEEL SLURRIES FOR ENHANCED STRUCTURAL

The "TuffCell" is a bipolar plate-supported solid oxide fuel cell that
produces electrical power by the galvanic combination of oxygen with
hydrogen or other fuel. The SOFC anode support must be both conducting
and porous. Porosity is required to ensure that hydrogen gas can flow
through the anode support. SOFC anode supports have traditionally been
composed of nickel, but the use of stainless steel as a support while
also using a thinner anode will provide increased structural integrity.
The process for building the support layer starts with making a
stainless steel slurry. The slurry composition includes stainless steel
powder, binder, plasticizer, solvent, and in some cases pore former. The
slurry is allowed to mix thoroughly and is then made into a tape cast
using a doctor blade. The tape cast is dried and then placed into the
dilatometer for twenty hours where it is exposed to air, nitrogen, and
hydrogen to sinter. The weight percent of each slurry component must be
such that the slurry meets certain criteria when cast and sintered. In
casting, these criteria include an even cast (i.e. the stainless steel
cannot separate from the other components during the cast), a strong and
flexible dried cast, and a slightly grainy texture. In sintering, the
stainless steel layer must not shrink more than the other layers of the
cell and must also be porous, with pores approximately 20 microns in
diameter. An even cast is the result of optimal slurry viscosity for the
given components. Modification of flexibility and strength is
accomplished by varying the binder to plasticizer ratio. Porosity can be
achieved with a large stainless steel powder particle size and no pore
former, or with smaller particles plus pore former (this method warrants
varying the volume ratios of stainless steel and pore former to find the
optimal porosity). In addition to finding the optimal weight percents of
each of the slurry components, it is necessary to determine which
plasticizer/binder/solvent trio best casts, sinters, and interacts with
the other components of the cell. When xylene/butanol is used for a
solvent, compositions with a combination of large stainless steel mesh
size and smaller stainless steel mesh size in conjunction with 12%
solvent and a plasticizer to binder ratio of 1:5 or 1:7 have proved most
successful.

Movie review/synopsis: *Apollo 13*

Rating: PG

Year of release: 1995

Time: 140 minutes

Cast: Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, Ed Harris,
Kathleen Quinlan

Links: Video Quiz-Apollo 13

Synopsis/review: At first, it seemed the perfect mission\--too perfect,
even, to make headlines. After three days in space, three Apollo
astronauts\--Jim Lovell (two- time Academy

Award winner Tom Hanks), Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) and Jack Swigert
(Kevin Bacon)\--were finally approaching a long-cherished destination.
Apollo 13 was going

to the Moon.

Back in Houston, astronaut Ken Mattingly (Gary Sinise) considered
himself the unluckiest man on earth. Two days before launch, he\'d been
grounded from Apollo

13 for medical reasons. And so Mattingly was in Mission Control when Jim
Lovell intoned a simple, heart-stopping message across the void of
space:

\"Houston\...we\'ve got a problem.\"

Something had gone horribly wrong. Power and guidance systems were
down\-- and the supply of oxygen was rapidly dwindling. Lovell, Haise
and Swigert now

faced a grim reality\--that their crippled capsule, stranded 205,000
miles in space, might never return to earth.

With time running out, the crew and thousands of others braved near-
impossible odds in a daring attempt to guide the capsule earthward. For
three days, the world

watched in rapt silence\--not knowing until the last, anxious moment
whether the men of Apollo 13 would come home alive.

Ed Harris (The Abyss, Glengarry Glen Ross) co-stars as flight director
Gene Kranz in Apollo 13, directed by Ron Howard (Backdraft, The Paper)
and produced

by Brian Grazer (Backdraft, The Paper) through Imagine Films. The
screenplay is by William Broyles, Jr. & Al Reinert, based on the book by
Jim Lovell and Jeffrey

Kluger, Lost Moon.

Microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are ideal because
of high polymorphism levels among genotypes and even genome
distribution. Currently, only 161 SSR markers are publicly available for
oat due to limited genomic sequence information. The objective this
study was to develop new oat-based SSR markers using two different
strategies. The first strategy involved amplifying the parental lines of
the Ogle/TAM O-301 (OT) mapping population with genomic SSR primer sets
from wheat and barley, then subsequently sequencing polymorphic products
and redesigning primer sets to the oat sequence. The second strategy was
to develop oat libraries enriched for SSR motifs which complemented
current oat-based SSR enrichment work being done by Dr. Joe Anderson's
USDA-ARS laboratory in West Lafayette, IN. Under the first strategy, 35
mappable products in the OT population were produced from 210 wheat and
146 barley SSR primer sets (9.8%). Sequencing of these produces revealed
one complete and seven degenerative SSR motifs. For the second strategy,
four libraries were successfully enriched for the SSR motifs CA, AAT,
ATG, and CATC. Subsequent work has validated 56 new oat-based SSR
markers, 14 of which have been mapped in the OT population. Currently,
1536 clones are being sequenced from two of the four libraries and
results will be reported. Overall, our results indicate that development
of specific SSR enriched libraries is more efficient and cost effective
at developing oat-based SSRs than using genomic SSR primer sets from
wheat and barley. In addition, the SSR libraries produced both in this
work and by Dr. Joe Anderson's Laboratory should provide the genetic
sequence information needed to overcome past limitations to SSR
development in oat.

AN ACT

To authorize the Director of the Mint to supplement the approved design
of the 50-cent piece commemorating the two hundredth anniversary of the
birth of Daniel Boone, the coinage of which was authorized by Act of the
Seventy-third Congress (Public, Numbered 258, S. 3355).

*Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled*, That, inasmuch as the annual
change in coinage date required by law has caused the removal of the
commemorative date of 1934 from the design originally approved and in
use for the coinage of the 50-cent pieces commemorating the two
hundredth anniversary of the birth of Daniel Boone, authorized by the
Seventy-third Congress in Public Act Numbered 258 (S. 3355), the
Director of the Mint, with the approval of the Secretary of the
Treasury, be, and is hereby, authorized to supplement the said design so
that the reverse of said 50-cent piece will show the figures "1934"
immediately above the words "pioneer year".

Approved, August 26, 1935.

I don\'t necessarily agree that pressure steamers and pressureless
steamers have similar cooking energy efficiencies. I am in agreement
that pressure units should be measured to the same standard. The only
problem I would have is if in publication of data, or lists, or
comparisons of manufacturer models a greater efficiency was given to one
over the other (65% vs. 55% comparing a pressure unit to a pressureless
unit). The only other item I found was on the submission data requiring
annual unit sales to be reported. This could be a problem for most
manufacturers in this industry, unless numbers are reported to an
independent third party, etc. Thanks for your efforts.

**Leaderless Technology Leadership**

Administrators from the superintendent down to the building level
principals often are lacking in the area of how technology can be
utilized for the benefit of their kids in the district and also the
staff. They make hiring decisions and purchasing decisions without the
depth of knowledge needed to make the best decision. I don't say this in
a negative fashion, but just as an observation. I have observed a hiring
of a few folks in which a person knew a little bit about technology
while the administrator knew very little. The person interviewing easily
impressed the administrator because he knew nothing about technology.

Administrators decide on the curricular direction for the entire
district. Imagine if they knew nothing about math, reading, or science.
How sound would their decisions be for their district curriculum? What
quality of materials would be given to the teaching staff? I know we
would all be greatly concerned about this matter because we take great
efforts to make sure administrators are good curricular leaders. Why
don't we make sure that administrators are good utilizers of technology
and know how to integrate technology into the classrooms?

If leaders don't desire to learn how to utilize technology, how will the
use of technology be encouraged to permeate their districts?

Preserving America's Heritage

TREASURY BUILDING RESTORATION AND MODERNIZATION receives

chairman's Award for Federal Achievement in Historic Preservation

Treasury Historical Association Shares Recognition with U.S. Department
of the Treasury

WASHINGTON, D.C.---The U.S. Department of the Treasury received the
Chairman's Award for Federal Achievement in Historic Preservation today
for the historic restoration and appropriate modernization of the
Treasury Building, a National Historic Landmark that is considered to be
the third oldest federal structure in the nation's capital after the
White House and Capitol.

The Treasury Historical Association, an affiliated non-profit
organization that educates and assists the Treasury Department with
historic preservation, received a partnership commendation for its
active participation, including funding for key restoration projects in
the Treasury Building.

The award was presented to the Department of the Treasury during the
Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) winter business
meeting, which was held in the richly historic Cash Room of the Treasury
Department at 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW.

"Under the National Historic Preservation Act, all federal agencies must
consider how historic resources in their keeping should be treated for
the benefit of the American people. The Department of the Treasury and
the Treasury Historical Association did an outstanding job of not only
preserving the structure but relating the importance of the restored
features to the public," said John L. Nau, III, ACHP chairman. "The
project was both an exemplary and practical solution in full keeping
with the intent and spirit of the President's Executive Order 13287,
Preserve America*.*"

The Treasury Building, which dates from 1836 to 1869 and which replaced
earlier structures, suffered extensive damage in a 1996 roofing fire.
From that setback, Treasury resolved to respond by markedly improving
upon its initial efforts and comprehensively restoring and modernizing
the structure. From that determination sprang such discoveries as the
only known example of a triple dome cast iron ceiling in the country and
the appropriate conservation of historic rooms and features. While
congressional budgeting authorization provided for most of the necessary
modernization work, conservation and restoration efforts were assisted
by donations from the Treasury Historical Association, which engaged in
dedicated fund-raising campaigns.

**The ACHP, an independent federal agency,** promotes the preservation,
enhancement, and productive use of the nation's historic resources and
advises the President and Congress on national historic preservation
policy. It also provides a forum for influencing federal activities,
programs, and policies that impact historic properties. In addition, the
ACHP has a key role in carrying out the Administration's Preserve
America initiative. Visit www.achp.gov for more information.

Great Basin National Park Seeking Public Comments on Strawberry Creek
Project

Great Basin National Park is currently seeking comments for a proposed
Strawberry Creek Recreational Enhancement project. Your issues and
comments will assist with developing alternatives to the proposed action
presented below and conducting an environmental analysis consistent with
the National Environmental Policy Act.

The proposed action would include: installation of a park new entrance
sign and information kiosk; construction of seven individual campsites,
two of which will be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility
guidelines. In addition, a parking area, small corral and hitching rack
would be constructed as an equestrian facility; construction of three
group campsites; and construction of the Strawberry Creek - Blue Canyon
trailhead. Three vault toilets, 1 per developed site, would be
installed. Four new hiking and riding trails would also be developed.
The proposed project would upgrade the existing road to provide
two-wheel drive access.

Numerous sites associated with undefined dispersed recreation and
pull-outs will be evaluated for resource impacts and reclaimed. Existing
pipe culverts that block fish passage would be replaced with open box
culverts.

Please submit comments no later than March, 28, 2008, to: Attn:
Planning, 100 Great Basin National Park, Baker, Nevada, 89311. For
further information, please call Tod Williams at 775/234-7331 extension

# Torilis nodosa

**Hedge parsley**

**Apiaceae**

Plants are erect with few branches; 1 - 7 dm tall. Stems are retrorsely
scabrous with leavels pinnately decompound, 0.5-2 dm long. Leaflets are
bipinnately dissected, and umbels are solitary and short peduncled.
Umbels are opposite the leaves, and involucres are lacking or consist of
1 bract. Fruits are ovoid, 3-5 mm long, the outer carpel hook bristly,
the inner smooth or with tubercles. Occasionally found on open shaded
hills below 2000 feet; naturalized from Europe (Hickman, 1993).

A leaf gall disease of *T. nodosa* was found in northwestern Arkansas
during surveys for weed pathogens that might be developed as biological
herbicides. The causel fungus was identified as *Protomyces
macrosporus*, which is common in Europe, South Asia, and North Africa on
many genera in the Umbelliferae. Symptoms of infection included
distortion of affected tissue and chlorosis, but tissue that emerged
from the crown of the plants after innoculation was not noticeably
different in size, shape, or color. The pathogen failed to infect 10
other species of Apiaceae, so is apparently quite specific to hedge
parsely (Valverde and Templeton, 1984).

Hedge parsely was found to be an unacceptable food for larvae of Black
Swallowtail butterflied, which feed on a variety of native and
introduced Umbelifferae (Finke and Scriber, 1988); larvae attempted to
feed on these plants, but the trichomes on the surface of the leaves
successfully prevented consumption. The authors speculate that this
mechanical defense might be augmented by chemicals. Other herbivores
might also find this weed unpalatable.

The Lindhard critical angle for planar channeling for a charged particle
in a straight single crystal is:

$\phi_{p} = \sqrt{4\text{ZZ}_{i}e^{2}\text{Nd}_{p}\frac{\text{Ca}_{\text{TF}}}{p\beta c}}$

where $Z$ is the crystal atomic number, $Z_{i}$ the beam atomic number,
$p$ the momentum, N the atomic number density, $d_{p}$ the planar
spacing, $C \approx \sqrt{3}$,
$a_{\text{TF}} = 0\text{.}\text{8853}a_{\infty}(Z^{\frac{2}{3}} + Z_{i}^{\frac{2}{3}})^{\frac{- 1}{2}}$
the T-F screening parameter, and $a_{\infty}$ the Bohr radius. Below the
TeV range, $\phi_{p}$ is small compared to the typical beam divergence.
At 1 TeV/c, $\phi_{p} = 5\ \mu\text{rad}$ for the 110 plane in Si.
Crystals must be aligned along planes or axes to see channeling. The
critical angle is roughly equal to $\phi_{\frac{1}{2}}$, the HWHM of a
transmission or alignment distribution of $\phi$, the particle angle
relative to a crystal plane.

For a bent crystal (see below)

$\phi_{\text{pb}} = \phi_{p}\left( 1 - \frac{R_{T}}{R_{m}} \right)$

where $R_{m}$ is the minimum radius of curvature $R_{T}$ is the Tsyganov
radius (see below).

Channeling dips and peaks in $\phi$ are not Gaussian. Temperature
variations may occur because of lattice vibrations. Higher $Z$crystals,
e.g. W, have larger $\phi_{p}$but large dislocation-free crystals are
not available whereas they are for Si.

***Purpose*\
**

Illustrate the motion of an object under virtually friction-free
conditions.

***Performing the experiment*\
**

1.  Clean the corks with a cotton ball and rubbing alcohol.

2.  Push the pucks across the table to your partner.

3.  Push the large puck toward the stationary small puck.

4.  Blow up a balloon about ¾ full.

5.  Attach the balloon (be careful not to loose much air) to the cork in
    the center of the large puck.

6.  Release the puck and the balloon towards your partner.

7.  Attach filled balloons to both pucks. Push the large puck toward the
    stationary small puck. Observe the changes in the direction and
    speed of both pucks after a head-on collision.

***Questions to think about***

1.  What differences did you observe when you pushed the puck without
    the balloon versus when you attached the balloon?

2.  How does the air help the puck move?

3.  Why do you think the small puck moved faster than the large puck
    after the collision?

**Explanation**

Newton's first law for objects in motion is demonstrated by the first
puck's constant speed and direction. The transfer of momentum is
demonstrated by the increased velocity of the smaller puck and the
decreased velocity of the larger puck during the collision.
