Abstract:

New missions to the Moon and Mars provide grave challenges for the
reliable utilization of high-performance modern electronics. Changes in
modern integrated circuit (IC) technologies have modified the way we
approach and conduct radiation tolerance and reliability testing of
electronics in general. These electronics changes include scaling of
geometries, new materials, new packaging technologies, and overall speed
and device complexity challenges. In this presentation, we will:

-   Define briefly the radiation effects on electronics,

-   Discuss the specific environment challenges for electronics that
    relate to the Moon and Mars,

-   Provide an overview of the types of electronics that may be required
    for Exploration as well as discuss a few relevant examples,

-   Identify sample radiation and reliability issues for modern
    electronics that are of import for Exploration,

-   Illustrate a four-pronged approach to electronic parts from
    management to research required for Exploration, and finally,

-   Recommend specific research areas that require further exploration
    to ensure reliability for space electronics utilization.

The focus will be on standard digital technologies, however, other high
performance technologies will be discussed where appropriate. The
effects of concern will be: Single Event Effects (SEE) and steady state
total ionizing dose (TID) response and to a lesser extent, displacement
damage.

**CABLE SERVICES BUREAU ACTION**

**petition seeking declaratory ruling that certain restrictions of
condominium association are preempted by the commission's over-the-air
reception devices rule**

The Commission has received a Petition for Declaratory Ruling from
Stephen Yusi asking the Commission to determine whether the Harrison
House Condominium Board's ("HHCB") conditions or restrictions
prohibiting installation of satellite dish antennas are preempted by
Section 1.4000 of the Commission's rules. The petition alleges HHCB's
restrictions violate the Commission's rule preempting restrictions that
impair installation, maintenance or use of over-the-air reception
devices (satellite dishes and antennas) by prohibiting the installation
of a satellite dish antenna on a balcony or patio. HHCB is located in
Harrison, New York.

**ACTIVITY, PART 1**

In order for discoveries to be made, there has to be a motivation.
During the time of the Greeks, the ideas of Ptolemy (i.e.,
Earth-centered universe) were not questioned and, therefore, there was
no motivation for new discoveries. In 1543, Nicolaus Copernicus
challenged this by proposing a Sun-centered solar system of planets. As
a result of this new way of thinking, scientists recognized sizeable
gaps between the orbits of the planets. This radically different way of
viewing the universe was the stimulus for many new discoveries in the
following years.

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="6.1930555555555555in" height="1.3in"}

In 1702, David Gregory wrote in *Astronomiae elementa*, "\...supposing
the distance of the Earth from the Sun to be divided into ten equal
Parts..."

Let's take Gregory's suggestion and divide the mean distance from the
Earth to the Sun into 10 equal parts. If Earth were located at point 10,
where would Mercury and Venus be? (Solve for M and V and round to the
nearest whole number.)

  -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- --------------
  Sun            Mercury        Venus          Earth          Mars

  0              57,910,000 km  108,200,000 km 149,600,000 km 227,940,000 km

  0              M              V              10             Ma
  -------------- -------------- -------------- -------------- --------------

Planetary distances in the above chart are mean distances.

Show your work!

M=

V=

Ma=

Do you notice a pattern?

Try this hint:

Distance to Earth = 4 + \_\_\_\_\_\_ = 10

Distance to Mercury = 4 + \_\_\_\_\_ = M

Distance to Venus = 4 + \_\_\_\_\_ = V

Distance to Mars = 4 + \_\_\_\_\_ = Ma

Using this same pattern, find the distances from the Sun to planets
beyond the Earth:

  ----- ------------ ------------- ------------- ------------- ------- -------- --------
  Sun   Mercury      Venus         Earth         Mars          5       6        7

  0     57,910,000   108,200,000   149,600,000   227,940,000                    
        km           km            km            km                             

  0     M            V             10            Ma                             
  ----- ------------ ------------- ------------- ------------- ------- -------- --------

Planetary distances in the above chart are mean distances.

The distances from the Sun to the rest of the "classical planets" are
Jupiter, 778,300,000 and Saturn, 1,427,000,000. Where would they fit on
the chart?

Describe, in your own words, the pattern that you have "discovered."

Compare and contrast your calculations and pattern to the actual
planetary distances. Why is there a difference?

#####  DA 00-1673

Released: July 28, 2000

**Comment Invited on Third Generation Wireless/IMT-2000 Petitions**

## (RM-9911 and RM-9920)

1.  The Commission recently received two petitions relating to the
    implementation of third generation ("3G") wireless services, or
    International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 ("IMT-2000") services.
    The first petition, filed by the Satellite Industry Association
    (SIA) on April 28, 2000, requests that the Commission allocate the
    2500-2520 MHz and 2670-2690 MHz bands for Mobile Satellite Service
    use. The second petition, filed by the Cellular Telecommunications
    Industry Association (CTIA) on July 12, 2000, requests that the
    Commission initiate a rulemaking proceeding to designate additional
    spectrum for 3G wireless services in a manner consistent with the
    IMT-2000 decisions recently made at the 2000 World
    Radiocommunication Conference.

2.  The SIA Petition was assigned RM-9911 and was placed on public
    notice on July 7, 2000, and comments are currently due on August 7,
    2000.[^1] We are herein assigning the CTIA Petition RM-9920, and
    placing it on public notice. Because these two petitions are
    related, we believe the public interest would be served by having a
    common comment date for the two petitions. Accordingly, we are
    establishing that common comment date as **August 28, 2000**,
    thereby extending the date for comments to be filed on the SIA
    Petition.

3.  This action is taken pursuant to authority found in Sections 4(i)
    and 303 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §§
    154(i) and 303; and pursuant to Sections 0.31, 0.241, and 1.46 of
    the Commission\'s Rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.31, 0.241, and 1.46.

Re: Calistoga Cellars, NPRM No. 77

Dear Mr. Foote:

I am writing to you as a concerned citizen within the comment period for
the NPRM No. 77. I am a partner of Calistoga Partners, L.P. doing
business as Calistoga Cellars. Calistoga Cellars is part of the subject
matter of such notice.

I appreciate the proposed ruling as it appears since it will help to
protect the current brand of Calistoga Cellars by allowing it to
continue the use of our name for our product. I'm sure you will receive
a great deal of pressure from the TTB to reverse your proposed NPRM.
Protecting the rights of individual business owners is part of what
makes this country a strong place to conduct business. It is part of our
heritage not to bow to the will of many but to do the right thing by
protecting the individual.

The compromise position of requiring disclosure on our label as to the
source of our grapes is to be applauded. Thank you for your careful
consideration of our position.

Sincerely,

The Energy Information Administration periodically assesses how it can
continue to fulfill its mission. Currently that assessment is going on
in the context of

1.  Loss of technical skills combined with the needs for new areas of
    technical expertise

2.  Stagnant budgets

3.  A growing inter-dependence and internationalization of the world's
    economy, energy and environment.

4.  Unrelenting demand for service reports, data and model improvements.

Since EIA's founding it has developed numerous products to inform policy
makers and the public. The Agency's unique products include

1.  Domestic energy databases and

2.  Domestic Forecasting models (STIFS and NEMS).

All are freely available on the Agencies Website. The data and models
are used worldwide.

In addition the Agency produces

1.  Analysis reports at the direct request of the Executive and
    Legislative branches (service reports)

2.  Domestic energy Forecasts

3.  International Forecasts

4.  Interpretive reports such as the Changing Structure of the Electric
    Power Industry

5.  Compilations of existing information such as the Country Analysis
    Briefs

6.  A few analyst generated analysis reports (e.g. on the costs of
    commercial nuclear power)

EIA is looking for ideas on how we can best employ the resources we are
likely to have over the next decade. What considerations should guide
our tradeoffs between our unique contributions and our other products?
Of special import is how customer demands today for answers today should
be balanced against resources for maintaining data and analysis tools.
Integrated model based analysis has been the staple of EIA's approach to
answering Administration and Congressional requests for analyses. Is
something to be gained from attempting a tiered response starting with
"back of the envelope"- only going to the next level as the client
requests more? What are the considerations in expanding or contracting
interpretive reports, compilations and analyst generated analyses?

EIA is losing cutting edge technical expertise as the staff ages and
retires. Should EIA focus on hiring and developing relatively few
technical experts in well-defined areas or emphasize recruiting more
generalists, relying on contractors for in-depth expertise? If the
former what are the key areas for the next decade? Do you know of
government organizations that have leveraged their resources by
partnering with non-government organizations or through other means?
Should EIA consider trading off some of its domestic information program
for a more robust international perspective?

A.N. Deringer, Inc.

RE: The tariff classification of a Car Wash Kit from Canada, Italy, USA
and China.

Dear Ms. Hagyard:

In your letter dated March 15, 2000, on behalf of Superex Canada Ltd.,
you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted sample is a Car Wash Kit consisting of the following
items:

1.  Jumbo Washmitt, made in Canada

2.  Easy Grip Sponge, made in Canada

3.  Peanut Sponge, made in Canada

4.  Drying Cloth, made in Italy

5.  Polishing Cloth, made in Canada

6.  Wash Brush, made in Canada

7.  Wax Applicator, made in Canada

8.  Armor All Protectant 4 oz., made in USA

9.  Armor All Tire Foam 4 oz., made in USA

10. Armor All Automotive Glass Cleaner 4oz., made in USA

11. Armor All Heavy Duty Car Wash Concentrate 4 oz., made in USA

12. PVC bag with nylon trim, made in China, which is sized to contain
    the above items.

We find that the above-described items comprise, for tariff purposes,
\"goods put up in sets for retail sale.\" With reference to General Rule
of Interpretation (\"GRI\") 3(c), Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTS), we find that the components equally merit
consideration in determining the classification of the set, but that
none of those components alone can be said to impart the essential
character of the whole. Under such circumstances, GRI 3(c) directs that
the set be classified under the heading which occurs last in numerical
order. In this instance, the classification for the wash brush occurs
last.

The applicable subheading for the Car Wash Kit will be 9603.90.8050,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides
for brooms, brushes...other. The general rate of duty will be 2.8% ad
valorem.

HTSUS subheading 9801.00.10 provides for the duty-free entry of products
of the U.S. that are returned after having been exported, without having
been advanced in value or improved in condition by any process of
manufacture or other means while abroad, provided there has been
compliance with the documentary requirements of section 10.1, Customs
Regulations (19 C.F.R. §10.1).

The Armor All products, which are made in the U.S., may be returned free
of duty under the provisions of subheading 9801.00.10, HTS, upon
compliance with the documentation requirements of 19 C.F.R. §10.1.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact
National Import Specialist Lawrence Mushinske at 212-637-7061.

[Description of Building Operations]{.underline}

The mission of the Conversion Project is to extract uranium in the form
of uranium hexafloride (UF~6~) absorbed on sodium floride (NaF) pellets
and transform it into a chemically stable uranium oxide (U~3~O~8~) by
replacing fluorine with oxygen. The process involved consists of uranium
recovery and conversion.

However, the facility is currently only authorized to depressurize the

COMMENTS FOR TAX REFORM

Dear Sir,

Along with others, I have been impressed that the Internal Revenue Tax
Code is overbearing. Here is my specific complaint:

My mother-in-law is 99 years old. She has some investments along with
her Social Security, which provide her with a modest income, perhaps
\$20,000 yearly.

IRS regulations and forms would have her submit quarterly pre-payments
of income tax, along with computed tax amounts and payments each April
15th.

I ask you, isn\'t this a little **much** for such a senior citizen????
Isn\'t it reasonable to assume that she is not likely to have a dramatic
increase in her yearly income? Why could she not submit a postcard-size
form each year with her social security number and a statement that the
income was essentially the same as last year, with a payment equal to
that of the prior year. In the event of a substantial increase in
income, or drop thereof, she could again complete the
1040.................

Why can\'t a 99 year old lady have a little peace from the
IRS...............??

Thank you,

Walter Buell

Paul Galligos, Moderator

1.  Dale Phillips of the Park Service spoke first. He lectured on the
    various historic trails that have weaved across Indiana since
    prehistoric times to the present.

    -   Buffalo traces, wagon routes, and modern highways all blazed
        across the state.

    -   He is involved in mapping these trails, consulting from town to
        town with local historians and others in the know about the
        various byways of animals and people in Indiana\'s long history.

    -   His goal is to create some tourism around these old trails, to
        pull folks off the main roads into the back country.

    -   There are scientific, natural, historical, cultural,
        archeological, and recreational attractions in the mix that can
        be capitalized on.

    -   Phillips hopes for government recognition of the project through
        scenic byways designation.

    -   The talk was concluded with a lesson on the important
        connections of Indiana to the Lewis and Clark expedition.

2.  Patty Coon discussed the Illinois Route 66 Heritage Project.

    -   Heritage tourism is a kind of "fun history lesson" and this sort
        of activity is becoming very popular. Last year there were 93
        million heritage tourists. Several factors play into this large
        group of people engaging in heritage tourism: an aging society,
        people having more money to spend, more education, and affinity
        for travel with extended family. There is also a need for safer
        travel closer to home, and an express desire to explore
        Americana.

    -   The Route 66 project in Illinois is very large scale involving
        400 miles, 12 counties, and 90+ communities. Illinois happens to
        have more attractions on its strip of Route 66 then the other
        seven states it traverses.

    -   The legend of Route 66 is rich and this has been helpful.

    -   Coon coordinates with all the communities to market their
        various tourist features and attractions.

    -   A key to the success is granting each community on the way wide
        latitude to make designations about what should be highlighted
        on their bit of the road.

    -   Coon also coordinates state and federal partners in the project.

    -   The major bump in the road at present is they can\'t move fast
        enough to keep up with the Route 66 marketplace. There are
        limited resources, best illustrated by the fact that she is one
        person serving 400 miles.

**"Old Glory''**

The name "Old Glory" was first applied to the U.S. flag by a young sea
captain who lived in Salem, Mass. On his twenty-first birthday, March
17, 1824, Capt. William Driver was presented a beautiful flag by his
mother and a group of local young ladies. Driver was delighted with the
gift. He exclaimed, "I name her 'Old Glory.'" Then Old Glory accompanied
the captain on his many voyages.

Captain Driver quit the sea in 1837 and settled in Nashville, Tenn. On
patriotic days, he displayed Old Glory proudly from a rope extending
from his house to a tree across the street. After Tennessee seceded from
the Union in 1861, Captain Driver hid Old Glory by sewing the flag
inside a comforter. When Union soldiers entered Nashville on February
25, 1862, Driver removed Old Glory from its hiding place, carried the
flag to the state capitol building, and proudly raised it for all to
see.

Shortly before his death, the old sea captain placed a small bundle into
the arms of his daughter. He said to her, "Mary Jane, this is my ship
flag, Old Glory. It has been my constant companion. I love it as a
mother loves her child. Cherish it as I have cherished it."

The flag remained as a precious heirloom in the Driver family until
1922. Then it was sent to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington,
D.C., where it is carefully preserved under glass today.

# SN-03 BPA Data Response

##### Request No.: CR-YA-BPA: 107

**Request**: Witnesses: N/A

> Exhibit: SN-03-E-BPA-01
>
> Page(s): All.

Please provide any analysis, data, documentation or other materials
relating to BPA's consideration of its treaty trust responsibilities
under the Treaty of 1855 and under federal executive orders and
regulations.

# **Response:**

# 

BPA objects to this request as overly burdensome, overly broad and not
likely to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The request asks
for documents dating back to the establishment of BPA in 1937. The
request also fails to cite any statement in BPA's Initial Proposal that
addresses this issue. Nevertheless, BPA complies with its own tribal
policy and that of the Department of Energy. In addition, BPA follows
what it believes is the Administration's current view of the federal
trust responsibility to the Columbia River treaty tribes and the
relationship between this federal responsibility and the Endangered
Species Act (ESA). *Letter from Terry D. Garcia, NOAA Assistant
Secretary for Oceans and Atmosphere, to Ted Strong, CRITFC Executive
Director* (July 21, 1998) (stating twin goals of federal policy being
recovery and delisting of ESA listed salmonids and restoration of
salmonid populations over time to provide meaningful exercise of treaty
fishing rights).

Agencies and tribes look to Congress and the Executive Branch to
delegate specific trust duties to agencies through statutes or executive
orders. BPA shares the Federal government's recognition of a general
trust relationship between the United States and the Indian people. BPA
fulfills its share of the trust responsibility by implementing the DOE
and BPA Indian policies and fully complying with the laws governing its
activities, such as, but not limited to, the Northwest Power Act
(mitigate FCRPS impacts on fish and wildlife), NEPA (impacts of proposed
actions on tribes and trust resources), ESA (protection of listed
species), Native American Grave Protection and Repatriation Act
(protection of graves), National Historic Preservation Act (protection
of historic structures and places), and the Clean Water Act (water
quality).

Ankle Sprain

**What is the treatment?**

For a mild sprain, self-help measures are usually enough. However, a
severe sprain needs an X-ray, since there may be a fracture or a
complete tear. Sometimes the pain of a sprain settles quickly, but if it
lasts beyond 3-4 days a visit to your doctor is a good idea. Your doctor
may apply a special strapping.

# Self-help

This includes the following 'RICE' formula:

**R**est- Rest as much as possible. If the sprain is severe, use
crutches to take the

weight off the ankle.

**I**ce- Apply icepack or soak the ankle in cold water to reduce the
swelling. Use a special reusable compress (e.g. ACE wrap), or use a
medium to a large bag of

> frozen peas, beans, or ice cubes in a plastic bag, and the first 48
> hours is always important.

**C**ompression- Compress and support the ankle with a firm (not tight)
elastic bandage.

**E**levation- Elevate the leg on a stool or chair until the swelling
goes away.

# Exercise program

Starting an exercise program with physical therapy can help prevent
permanent stiffness. If not, here are some tips you can do on your own.

1.  Firmly move your foot up and down at the ankle joint.

2.  Rotate your foot inwards and outwards, keeping the foot at right
    angles to the leg.

3.  Combine these exercises so that your foot moves slowly in a circle
    (clockwise, then counterclockwise.)

4.  Ankle alphabet-trace the letters of the alphabet with your foot.

# Pain-killers

Take pain medicines for pain, especially at night.

# Walking

Walking in comfortable walking shoes is recommended for short distances.
Walk as normally as possible, but avoid standing still for long periods.

Walking without shoes in sand is an excellent way of strengthening your
ankle quickly (after the first 2-3 days).

**What is the outcome?**

For most sprains you can expect full recovery in 1-6 weeks. Severe
sprains may take longer to heal, as a plaster cast for 4-6 weeks or
surgery may be necessary.

has 20+ years in law enforcement, in the fire service and with VOADs
such as the American Red Cross and others. At UNC, they have a highly
successful Master's level certificate in Disaster Management with a

I would like to collect, prior to the conference, the competency
listings of various schools for a research project dealing with
accreditation and determining similarities and stark differences in
emergency/disaster management programs at the BS, MS and doctoral level.

I am exploring, in concert with Kay Goss, CEM®, an initiative by the
IAEM to create an accreditation process for Emergency Management
programs, as the next step in the evolution and professionalization of
the emergency management field.

STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER

MICHAEL J. COPPS

RE: Establishment of an Interference Temperature Metric to Quantify and
Manage Interference to Expand Available Unlicensed Operation in Certain
Fixed, Mobile and Satellite Frequency Bands.

I'm excited to see the beginning of the examination of whether we can
put the spectrum temperature concept into practice. As I've said before,
I think that the idea has great promise, if we use it as a tool to
increase the efficiency with which spectrum resources are put to use, as
is our statutory responsibility.

I hope that commenters will use the NOI to address an issue that is of
particular concern to me. While the interference temperature metric may
be a good new way to measure interference, we do not have an adequate
way to determine what the right interference temperature is for a given
band. The only tools we have for this job are the ill-fitting and
ill-defined "interference" and "harmful interference" concepts. The
inappropriateness and inadequacy of these concepts for the job of
prospectively setting interference temperature will make this new metric
very hard to use predictably and non-arbitrarily in the real world.

So I think that the Commission must work to improve the standard we use
to determine permissible levels of interference, whether using the
interference temperature metric or some other metric. And I believe that
an important side benefit of the added predictability that a better
standard would bring is that incumbent spectrum users would be more
comfortable with the interference temperature metric. This NOI is the
perfect vehicle to start the process.
