The NASA PEOPLE AT WORK Project

Biography

Guy-Christophe Coppel is a free-lance photographer and communications
consultant from Rennes, Brittany.

A third-generation photographer, he is in residency at NASA Johnson
Space Center for five years under a NASA special agreement.

As a behind-the-scenes privileged witness of a new era symbolized by the
International Space Station, his photographic work, which focuses on
people rather than hardware, is a tribute to the dedication and
commitment of space workers.

Through pictures, NASA People At Work is advocating for a better
understanding of the importance of space activities in general, and
human spaceflight in particular.

Only a personal sensitivity in approaching people at work, with both
respect and enthusiasm, is able to capture the spirit of the people
working for space.

Only pictures can give an emotional dimension to space, which is too
often described only through its technical aspect.

As was said about Saint Exupery's Little Prince "...It is only with the
heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the
eyes."

Biochemistry

PURIFICATION OF TWO RECOMBINANT BOVINE DEOXYHYPUSINE HYDROXYLASE
PROTEINS. [D. J. Clampitt]{.underline}, Y. Cui, C.-H. Chen, L. Wen\*,
J.-K. Huang\*, Western Illinois University, Department of Chemistry,
Macomb, IL 61455, <J-Huang3@wiu.edu>

The mature eukaryotic initiation factor 5A (eIF5A) is the only known
protein that contains the unusual amino acid hypusine. Hypusine
synthesis within eIF5A precursor is a two-step posttranslational
modification catalyzed by deoxyhypusine synthase (DHS) and deoxyhypusine
hydroxylase (DOHH). This modification is essential for the function of
eIF5A in cell proliferation and survival. Posttranslational modification
of eIF5A has been suggested to be a suitable target for anticancer
therapy. Inhibitors of DHS or DOHH have been shown to exert
antiproliferative and antiretroviral effects.  A detailed knowledge of
structure-function relationship of either enzyme will help in designing
better inhibitors.

Many studies have been done on the structural and functional aspects of
eIF5A and DHS. Studies on DOHH have been limited due in part to
technical difficulties on the detection of the enzyme. Very recently,
Park *et al* published the cloning of human DOHH cDNA (PNAS, 103 (1):
51-56, 2006). The recombinant human DOHH has been characterized as a
HEAT-repeat--containing metalloenzyme. Based on the human DOHH cDNA
sequence, our lab has cloned different forms of bovine DOHH like cDNA.
The recombinant proteins from two such clones have been overexpressed as
GST-fusion proteins and purified by Glutathione-agarose affinity
chromatography. The activities of the two proteins in catalyzing the
hydroxylation of the deoxyhypusine residue in the eIF5A intermediate
were compared.

This work was supported by National Institute of Health 1R15 GM
60266-01A1, and the University Research Council at Western Illinois
University.

The NCATS will total \$14,500

Dates November 1, 2007-March 31, 2008

Firm will issue 5 checks, check amounts:

November 15, 2007 -- March 15, 2008 - \$2,900 each on the 15^th^ of the
month to Rebeca Galisteo.

Checks will be sent to Rebeca Galisteo from the Universida Autonoma de
Madrid, Spain, payment to Ms Galisteo as Per Diem and Travel expenses
during her stay at OPCB.

The contractor will provide Dr. J. Silvio Gutkind with professional
laboratory services. Rebeca Galisteo's work will focus on studying the
molecular mechanisms of signal transduction by viral G protein-coupled
receptors. In particular, how this receptor encoded by the Kaposi's
Sarcoma Virus promote the neoplastic conversion of endothelial cells.

The checks should be sent to the NIDCR for presentation to Rebeca
Galisteo on or about the 15^th^ of each month November, 2007 through

amended, 47 U.S.C. § 310(d), and sections 0.261 and 0.331 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.261, 0.331, the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau and the International Bureau approve the
applications requesting Commission consent to transfer control of
certain licenses and authorizations held by SkyTel Communications, Inc.
to MCI WorldCom, Inc. These applications pertain to licenses for paging,
narrowband PCS, and air-ground radiotelephone services, as well as a
satellite earth station authorization. No comments or petitions to deny
were received in response to the public notice announcing that the
applications had been accepted for filing. *See* DA 99-1373, July 14,
1999. Pursuant to the proposed transaction, SkyTel would merge with MCI
WorldCom and cease to exist as a separate company. After consummation,
the licenses and authorizations currently held by SkyTel would be held
by a subsidiary of MCI WorldCom.

The Bureaus find that the proposed transfer will serve the public
interest, convenience, and necessity, and grant transfer of control of
these licenses and authorizations to MCI WorldCom.

Pursuant to section 1.106(f) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §
1.106(f), petitions for reconsideration may be filed within 30 days of

# Budget

We continue to enjoy 7% increases in the materials budget, but for the
first time in years, we will have no money left over for special
end-of-year purchases, and may have to use restricted funds to finish
off the year.

## *Strategic Planning*

We have just completed another round of strategic planning that will
take us through 2012. Four of the goals focus on developing our
organizational culture so that we can better provide the services and
resources that our community expects. The Technical Services Department
is taking a close look at our organizational culture and is working
closely with the University\'s Office of Learning and Development to
identify improvements that can be made in how we do our business.

# Personnel

Meg Manahan, our Collections Librarian for Licensed Electronic Resources
has accepted the position of Head of Acquisitions. In keeping with one
of our organizational goals the position will report to both the
Director of Technical Services and Director of Collections and Research
Services. In acknowledgement of the need to routinize the handling of
e-resources and make use of skills and staffing already in place in
Acquisitions, Meg\'s former position will move from Collectons to TSD.

# Process Improvement

A study of YBP shelfready services has led us to consider PromptCat as
an alternative to the YBP-provided records. It is hard to match our very
cost-effective in-house labelling process, so we are still in the
exploratory stages. Regardless of what path we take, we will be doing
more cataloging upon receipt and remove selector review from the
approval process. We have signed on to the 6-month pilot with
Harrasowitz of using their MarcNow cataloging records, and just
beginning the assessment.

# Offsite Storage

\--even though we \*\*still\*\* don\'t have a permanent facility, we are
sending off about 100,000 volumes annually to a temporary site

\--we have finished the first pass through the stacks of all
single-volume monographs that have not circulated in 5 years; now we are
on a pass of monographs that have circulated once in 5 years. We are
beginning to send off multivolume sets and adding contents notes when
appropriate.

# Faculty Digital Archive

Faculty are beginning to use the dSpace repository services, and tech
services is beginning discussions with some faculty about improving and
regularizing the metadata.

**[Theory Explains Phase Separation Dynamics Observed in
BEC]{.underline}**

Dramatic results were recently observed in the phase segregation
dynamics in ultra-cold mixtures of Rb (at JILA) and Na (at MIT) gases.
Periodic spatial structures appear at intermediate times and then
recombine at a later time. S. T. Chui and Ping Ao have explored the
theory of the non-equilibrium quantum statistical physics in these new
systems and they propose an explanation for the experimental
observations as quantum spinodal decomposition. This work was presented
at the LT-22 conference in Helsinki.

Phase segregation phenomena in systems governed by **classical
mechanics** have been much studied in material science. For example,
spatial modulations of concentrations were observed in AlNiCo alloys.
This behavior was explained in terms of a concept called spinodal
decomposition. When a system is quenched from the homogeneous phase into
a phase having broken symmetry, the ordered phase does not become
ordered instantaneously. Instead, different length scales set in as the
domains form and grow with time.

For the current system of gases cooled to very low temperatures to
obtain the Bose-Einstein condensed (BEC) state, **quantum mechanics** is
expected to play an important role. These quantum systems show that it
is possible to have analogous spinodal decomposition in BEC\'s, which
manifests some of the phenomenology of the classical systems, including
a periodic spatial structure at an intermediate time, on a time scale
that is now determined by quantum mechanics. This time scale provides
for a self-consistent check of the theory developed by Chui and Ao and
is consistent with the experimental results of the JILA and MIT groups.
In the BEC systems, the growth of domains at later times is determined
by quantum tunneling and not by classical diffusion.

**[New Discovery Reported In Superfluid Helium-3]{.underline}**

Richard Packard and his collaborators at UC Berkeley have had a paper
accepted in Physical Review Letters that describes their recent
discovery of a phenomenon known as bistability in a superfluid He-3 weak
link. They find that the weak link, commonly a tiny pinhole joining to
large volumes of superfluid, can be configured in either of two
different states. The states are perhaps determined by the two possible
orientations of textures near the weak link. Each configuration exhibits
a pi-periodic current phase relation rather than the 2-pi periodicity
seen in ordinary superconducting Josephson weak links. This novel
property will permit a factor of two increase in the ultimate
sensitivity of a rotation sensor that employs these weak links. The
superfluid rotation sensor is the long-term goal of this NASA-funded
project at Berkeley.

# VA Announces Homeless Program Awards in Indiana

# WASHINGTON -- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) today identified recipients in Indiana to share in approximately \$31 million in grants as part of VA's Homeless Providers Grant and Per Diem Program. 

"This year's awards reach out to groups assisting homeless veterans with
special needs, such as those coping with chronic mental illness, those
who care for young children and those with terminal illnesses," said
Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony J. Principi. "VA is proud to help
coordinate with other organizations to help end chronic homelessness for
veterans in America."

The Indiana grant goes to Hoosier Veterans Assistance Foundation in
Indianapolis for a program for chronically mentally ill veterans.

Thirty-nine programs in 17 states and the District of Columbia have been
named to share \$18 million in grants. These first-time "special needs"
grants will assist non-profit and faith-based organizations providing
services to homeless veterans who are women, caretakers of minor
children, elderly, terminally ill or who have a chronic mental illness.

In addition, VA is providing nearly \$13 million to medical centers to
enhance collaboration with the grant recipients assisting those specific
homeless populations.

VA is also providing grants to community-based agencies in eight states
for renovations needed to improve safety of veterans as identified in
the Life Safety Codes of the National Fire Protection Association.

**MORTGAGEE LETTER 2003-16**

TO: ALL APPROVED MORTGAGEES

ALL HOME EQUITY CONVERSION MORTGAGE COUNSELORS

SUBJECT: Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM)-Interest Rate Lock-Ins

As part of the Department of Housing and Urban Department's continuing
efforts to assist senior homeowners, the Federal Housing Administration
(FHA) will now allow for mortgage lenders to set the expected interest
rate for HECMs at the time the loan application is signed by the
borrower rather than on the date of closing. This Mortgagee Letter
revises the instructions found in the section "Requirements for Closing"
contained in Chapter 6, page 6-7 of HUD Handbook 4235.1 REV 1. This
interest rate "lock-in" provision, which mortgage lenders may offer on
each HECM application for 60 days, will eliminate confusion and
unexpected reductions to a HECM borrower's principal limit when market
interest rates increase during the interim between loan application and
loan closing.

Similar to interest rate "lock-in" provisions on forward mortgages
insured by the FHA, HECM borrowers using FHA's HECM product will have
the comfort of knowing that the interest rate cannot increase during the
interest rate lock-in period and, thus, reduce the amount of proceeds
available to them. In addition, mortgage lenders offering HECMs will no
longer need to recalculate the principal limit on the day of settlement.
Mortgagees are not allowed to charge a fee for a "lock-in" rate. This
Mortgagee Letter is effective immediately.

If you should have any questions concerning this Mortgagee Letter,
please contact your local Homeownership Centers in Atlanta
(888-696-4587), Denver (800-543-9378), Philadelphia (800-440-8647),) or
Santa Ana (888-827-5606).

Sincerely,

John C. Weicher

Assistant Secretary for Housing-

Federal Housing Commissioner
**A COMPARISON OF THE INHIBITION OF THE HUMAN DOPAMINE TRANSPORTER
EXPRESSED IN HEK CELLS BY THE WAKE PROMOTING DRUG MODAFINIL AND A
STRUCTURAL ANALOG**

Rotating disk electrode voltammetry was used to measure the
time-resolved transport of dopamine into human embryonic kidney (HEK)
cells stably expressing the human dopamine transporter (hDAT). Dopamine
transport was first order with a K~m~ and V~max~ of 1.2 M DA and 20.2
pmol DA/sec/10^4^cells respectively. Modafinil, a drug used to treat
narcolepsy, was determined to inhibit the human dopamine transporter in
a competitive fashion. Interestingly, a close structural analog was
found to be an uncompetitive inhibitor of the transporter.

Iron is one of the most abundant energy sources for lithotrophic
organisms on Earth, by extension it is reasonable to assume that it has
the potential to support microbial ecosystems on other planets were they
to exist now or in the past. Nonetheless, our understanding of microbial
Fe-oxidation at circumneutral pH is poor. Extensive mats of Fe-oxidizing
bacteria (FeOB) at the summit of the Loihi Seamount (1100m deep) are
associated with low to intermediate temperature (10° to 65°C) vents
whose fluids contain 10's to 100's of µM Fe(II). The mats contain 10^7^
to 10^8^ bacterial cells/cc and the morphology of the Fe-oxides is
indicative of biological origins. We have isolated an obligately
lithotrophic FeOB from Loihi, *Mariprofundus ferroxydans.* Phylogenetic
analysis shows that *M. ferroxydans* is the first cultured
representative of a proposed new Bacterial division, the
zeta-Proteobacteria. Molecular evidence from Loihi, based on clone
libraries and terminal restriction length polymorphism (tRFLP) analysis
of 16S rRNA genes, indicate this lineage of FeOB is the most abundant
inhabitant in the Fe-mats. Furthermore, this lineage is ubiquitous at
diverse Fe(II)-driven ecosystems at hydrothermal vent sites throughout
the Pacific. An interesting aspect of the Loihi ecosystem is that the
summit and caldera are in an oceanic O~2~-minima zone with O~2~
concentrations around 0.5 mg/l. In effect, Loihi could serve as a proxy
for the late Archaean when the Earth's atmosphere went from reducing to
oxidizing, and when abundant Fe(II) in the ocean probably played an
important role in shaping the biogeochemistry of the planet.

MEMBER OF CONGRESS

**Congress of the United States**

**Washington, DC 20515**

**Speech of Congresswoman Mazie K. Hirono of Hawaii**

**in the U.S. House of Representatives**

**In support of H.R. 808**

**Establishing the Department of Peace and Nonviolence**

**February 6, 2007**

Ms. HIRONO. Madam Speaker, I strongly support H.R. 808, establishing the
Department of Peace and Nonviolence.

At a time when we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the
war in Iraq, which the majority of the American public no longer
supports, there is a growing call for a diplomatic and political, in
other words, a peaceful resolution to this conflict.

The establishment of the Department of Peace and Nonviolence, with its
emphasis on education and dispute resolution through peaceful means,
sends a clear message to our citizens and to the rest of the world that
our country recognizes and values the peaceful resolution of conflicts
and differences and that these methods should be emphasized to resolve
conflicts at both the individual and national levels.

The Department of Peace is not a new idea. My esteemed and highly
respected predecessor from the State of Hawaii, first Representative and
then Senator Spark M. Matsunaga, proposed a similar institution 30 years
ago as the Vietnam war waged on. After three decades of unresolved
conflicts, worsening international relations, and seemingly endless wars
around the world, the time has come to bring this great idea to life.

I fully support H.R. 808.
**[Why create a Reward and Recognition Plan]{.underline}**

A properly designed reward and recognition plan will: reinforce actions
and behavior you want people to repeat; systematically celebrate
successes and how they are earned; encourage information sharing and
feedback; motivate staff to become more involved; improve team and
individual performance; improve quality, productivity and customer
satisfaction; reduce cost; motivate staff and lessen the chances for
burnout.

A Rewards and Recognition Plan sets and enforces the expectations for
high performance behaviors. Without a reward and recognition plan great
work is likely to go unnoticed, enthusiasm gets lost and energy levels
drop.

**[important tips for planning an effective recognition
system]{.underline}**

-   Establish a criteria for identifying what behavior or contribution
    is reward able

-   All staff must be eligible

-   It should be simple and immediate and reinforce desired outcomes.

-   Rewardees must know what specific actions are being rewarded and
    recognized.

-   A level of standard for award must be set and any one performing at
    that level or meets the criteria should receive the
    award/recognition.

-   Reward/recognition must occur as close to the activity as possible
    so as to reinforce the action/behavior.

-   Selection process should be by group vote and not through a single
    manager or supervisor.

-   [Rewards]{.underline} should be given for results or achieved
    outcomes -- is usually of significant monetary value.

-   [Recognition]{.underline} should be given for actions/activities
    leading to results. Recognitions may come in the form of
    certificates, pins, badges, posted photograph, verbal recognition at
    a meeting etc.

Reward and recognition introduces an element of fun into the work
environment to motivate and build support.

Rewards and Recognition tracks, measures, and celebrates the
achievements, results and improvements. This also leads to opportunities
for raising the bar for higher standards.
