The majority of Origin's of Life Scenarios link the emergence of life to
the natural synthesis of molecular building blocks that would have
served the bridge between abiotic chemistry and the first biochemistry.
The probability of the synthesis of any specific molecule or molecular
group on the early Earth must be a function of the chemo-synthetic
qualities of the environment. The recirculation of reduced CO~2~ bearing
fluids through deep-sea hydrothermal systems has been invoked as a
particularly favorable scenario for providing certain critical prebiotic
reactions. Transition metal sulfides have been shown to have excellent
catalytic properties for the promotion of the synthesis of fatty acids
(Cody et al. 2004), metabolic intermediates (di- and tri-carboxylic
acids) (Cody et al. 2001), and alpha-keto acids (Cody et al. 2000). The
presence of ammonia, leads the synthesis of a number of amino acids. It
has been shown that carbonyl sulfide, COS (formed through the reaction
of CO and H~2~S, and catalyzed by transition metal sulfides), promotes
the facile oligomerization of amino-acids to form small peptides (Leman
et al. 2004). Hydrothermal vent environments are not ideal environments,
however, for the prebiotic synthesis of other useful molecules, e.g.,
sugars and nucleobases. Linking various natural environments capable of
different types of prebiotic chemistry appears to be essential to
beginning to explain the spontaneous emergence of life on Earth.

**TITLE:** Superfluidity, Phase Coherence and the New Bose-Condensed
Alkali Gases

**DATE:** Thursday, December 9, 2004

**TIME:** 11:00 a.m.

***Refreshments will be served at 10:45 a.m.***

Abstract: The phenomenon of superfluidity was discovered in liquid
helium nearly sixty years ago, and ever since, following the almost
immediate suggestion of Fritz London, it has been the almost universal
belief in the condensed matter community

that it is due to the onset of the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein
condensation which is theoretically predicted to occur in that system at
sufficiently low temperature. However, for various practical reasons, it
is extremely difficult even to establish unambiguously that BEC is
occurring in 4-He,let alone to test directly some of the ideas which
connect it to superfluidity. The recent attainment of BEC in dilute
atomic alkali gases opens a new arena in this respect, allowing us to do
many experiments which we would have loved to do in 4-He but which are
in practice unfeasible in that system. In this talk I first review
briefly the fundamental ideas developed in the helium context, then give
a general introduction to the physics of the BEC alkali gases, and
finally discuss some of the novel possibilities they open up, both
already realized and still on the drawing-board.

Organisms capable of autotrophic metabolism are an integral part of
ecosystems. In fact, it can be argued that autotrophy is a requirement
for life to exist anywhere and chemolithoautotrophs -- organisms that
acquire energy from the oxidation of inorganic compounds and are able to
use inorganic carbon as the source for cell carbon -- are likely to have
been one of the first types of organisms on Earth. These organisms most
likely existed under conditions that are today confined to what one may
describe as extreme environments. Organisms that thrive under those
conditions primarily utilize carbon fixation pathways other than the
Calvin cycle. Yet, very little is known about the organisms responsible
for primary production in these ecosystems. The goal of our project is
to better understand the evolutionary history and ecological
significance of these so-called alternative carbon fixation pathways. We
are particularly focusing on the reductive TCA (rTCA) cycle, which
occurs in phylogenetically diverse prokaryotes whose growth conditions
fit well with our view of the primitive Earth. We have used a
combination of enzyme activity measurements and the detection of key
genes, particularly ATP citrate lyase (ACL), to obtain evidence for the
operation of this pathway in a variety of prokaryotes. Furthermore, our
expanded data set of ACL sequences allows us to reconstruct the
evolutionary history of ACL and the rTCA cycle, and to assess the
ecological importance of organisms using this pathway in the
environment. The ecological and evolutionary implications of our
findings will be discussed.

The diet composition of top predators in marine ecosystems affects their
reproductive output through availability (abundance and accessibility)
and variation in the energy values of prey species. I studied a colony
of common murres (*Uria aalge*) to determine reproductive success,
dominant prey species, the age-classes of these prey species, and
evaluated these data using Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) indices to
identify if a time-lag exists between murre productivity and ocean
conditions. Reproductive success in 2008 was 77%, up from 53% in 2007.
Pacific herring (*Clupea pallasi)*, Pacific sand lance (*Ammodytes
hexapterus*) and smelt (Family Osmeridae) were the dominant prey
species, composing over 50% of chick diet in each year. Sand lance were
consumed primarily as YOY age-class, herring as 1-year olds, and smelt
as 1- and 2-year olds. PDO and copepod biomass in the same year, lagged
1-year and lagged 2-years all showed strong correlations with
reproductive success. These results indicate that a time-lag exists
between murre productivity and ocean conditions at Yaquina Head. If
murres are used as indicators of ecosystem health, this time-lag must be
considered as it may take several years for changes in lower trophic
level health to be represented by their productivity.

ATTN: Western Oregon Plan Revisions

P.O. BOX 2965

Portland, OR 97208

Dear Mr. Shepherd,

Please accept these comments on the Western Oregon Plan Revision (WOPR)
Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) on behalf of your neighbors
at Dancing Sheep Farm.

Dancing Sheep Farm is a 44-acre parcel located in the alluvial
bottomlands of Doak Creek, 1.5 miles upstream from the intersection of
Jackson-Marlow Road (also known as Marlow Road) and Territorial Road,
about 18 miles southwest of Eugene.

The BLM's Eugene District manages a quarter-section parcel of land
immediately uphill of Dancing Sheep Farm about ½-mile to the south of
Dancing Sheep Farm. In addition, BLM manages a ½-section of land in the
headwaters of Doak Creek. Both parcels include unmanaged old-growth
forest acres, which should be saved.

The ¼-section parcel lies on steep terrain subject to debris avalanches.
Numerous debris avalanches can be found on logged land within 1 mile of
this parcel, including several avalanches on the south side (e.g., Hamm
Road side) of the ridge. Debris avalanches from this parcel have the
potential for impacting Dancing Sheep Farm property as our farm lies
within the run-out corridor of BLM's parcel. The link between clearcut
logging/road construction and debris avalanches and torrents is clear
and convincing. *See, e.g*., *National Wildlife Federation v. U.S.
Forest Service*, 592 F. Supp. 931 (D. Or. 1984). Yet nowhere in the DEIS
does the BLM assess the impacts to private land, Dancing Sheep Farm or
otherwise, from debris torrents and avalanches.

Doak Creek is a fish-bearing, Class I stream whose water quality is
presently limited by turbidity. Further BLM logging, especially in the
headwaters of Doak Creek, threatens to make an already compromised
situation worse. Yet nowhere in the DEIS does the BLM assess the effects
further logging will have on Doak Creek's water quality and fish
resources.

As your neighbors, we encourage you to protect the Doak Creek watershed
from turbidity and debris torrents, as required by the O&C Act of 1937.

Sincerely,

**MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER**

**Adopted: January 11, 2000 Released: January 14, 2000**

By the Commission:

1\. In this Order, we deny an application for review filed September 7,
1999, by Washington Broadcast Management Company, Inc. ("WBMC"). WBMC
seeks review of two decisions of the Chief, Mass Media Bureau
("Bureau"), DA 99-1607 and DA 99-1608, both released August 13, 1999. In
those decisions, the Bureau denied reconsideration of forfeiture orders,
DA 99-1230, released June 24, 1999, and DA 99-1255, released June 25,
1999. In the forfeiture orders, the Bureau concluded that WBMC willfully
and repeatedly violated Section 310(d) of the Communications Act, 47
U.S.C. Section 310(d), and Sections 73.3540 and 73.1125 of the
Commission\'s Rules, 47 C.F.R. Sections 73.3540 and 73.1125, and ordered
that WBMC forfeit a total of \$30,000 to the United States.

2\. The staff properly decided the matters raised below, and we uphold
the staff decisions for the reasons stated therein. There is no reason
to disturb those decisions. In addition to arguments previously raised
before the Bureau, WBMC raises two new arguments. These new arguments --
that the licensee should not be held responsible for violations that
occurred while it had unlawfully transferred control to another, and
that the proceeding should be delayed pending a further investigation by
the Office of General Counsel -- are untimely and will not be
considered. 47 U.S.C. § 155(c)(5), 47 C.F.R. § 1.115(c).

3\. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to authority granted by Section
5(c)(5) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 155(c)(5), and Section
1.115(g) of the Commission's Rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.115(g), that the
application for review filed September 7, 1999, by Washington Broadcast
Management Company, Inc. IS DENIED.

**Congressman McHenry's Statement on the RSC's Proposal to Balance the
Budget in Five Years**

WASHINGTON -- Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC) today issued the
following statement during the Republican Study Committee's press
conference to announce a budget proposal that will balance the federal
budget in five years. The congressman's statement is below:

> **"This budget proposal makes me proud to be a conservative. Today, my
> colleagues at the Republican Study Committee -- the conservatives in
> the House -- are boldly stepping up to the plate and offering real
> solutions to a budget that is spiraling out of control."**
>
> **"This is a strong plan that maintains our commitment to national
> defense, our veterans and Social Security. It cuts foreign aid to our
> enemies, reforms out-of-control entitlement programs, ensures
> pro-growth tax cuts and balances the budget in five years. This is
> what we're about as conservatives."**
>
> **"The Democrats are screaming about our national debt, and what's
> their solution? Raise your taxes and increase government spending.
> Republicans are committed to cutting taxes and cutting spending to
> balance our budget."**
>
> **"They believe leadership is about words and rhetoric. We know
> leadership is about action and results. That's the fundamental
> difference between Democrats and Republicans -- they talk and we
> lead."**

**Paul Hoffman: New Department of the Interior Lead**

**on Invasive Species**

**WASHINGTON, D.C., November 2006 --** Paul Hoffman, Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Performance, Accountability, and Human Resources, has
taken over the reins as Department of the Interior Principal for the
National Invasive Species Council. He will serve as the principal lead
on behalf of Secretary Dirk Kempthorne. Secretary Kempthorne, along with
Secretary of Agriculture Mike Johanns and Secretary of Commerce Carlos
Gutierrez, co-chairs the National Invasive Species Council (NISC).

Paul moved up to the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Policy,
Management, and Budget from his former position as the Deputy Assistant
Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks where he served the Department
with distinction for four years. At various times in his career, Paul
has worked to prevent, control, or eradicate invasive species at the
individual, local government, and Federal levels. While serving as
DAS/FWP, he helped Interior develop its first cross cut invasive species
budget and organize the Tamarisk Conference as well as Team Tamarisk.

Prior to coming to the Department of the Interior in February 2002, Paul
served for 12 years as the Executive Director of the Cody Chamber of
Commerce and the Cody Economic Development Council. In that capacity, he
was responsible for strategic planning, managing change, and helping
guide community development for Cody, Wyoming. He is a graduate of the
Institute for Organizational Management in 1996, as well as the
inaugural Leadership Wyoming in 2001, and is well respected in Wyoming
and the Yellowstone region as an active civic leader and
conservationist.

Paul joins Tim Keeney, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Oceans and
Atmosphere at Department of Commerce, and Chuck Lambert, Deputy Under
Secretary for Marketing and Regulatory Programs at Department of
Agriculture, as principal leads for the National Invasive Species
Council. Paul's approach to invasive species policy focuses on
cooperative conservation, utilizing all the tools available for
emphasizing action on-the-ground. His background as a double major in
economics and biology will encourage balanced analysis of the issues to
encourage broader stakeholder engagement and effective use of
constrained resources.

NISC is a cabinet level council established by Executive Order in 1999
to provide leadership and to ensure complimentary, cost-efficient and
effective federal activities regarding invasive species. Council members
include three co-chairs: the Secretaries of the Interior, Agriculture,
Commerce; and the Secretaries of State, Defense, Homeland Security,
Treasury, Transportation, Health and Human Services, as well as the
Administrators of the Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Agency
for International Development, NASA and the U.S Trade Representative.

# Liaison Statement from SC18/WG8 to SC27 on the application of the Guidelines for the Management of IT Security to SGML {#liaison-statement-from-sc18wg8-to-sc27-on-the-application-of-the-guidelines-for-the-management-of-it-security-to-sgml .Heading-0}

In your liaison statement (SC27 N968) to SC18/WG4 you asked that your
guidelines be used "to assist in SC18's deliberations on the development
of a secure version of SGML". While WG4 concerns itself with the
transmission of data, which includes SGML encoded documents, work on the
development and use of SGML is the responsibility of SC18/WG8. WG4 have
therefore asked that we respond to your request for liaison.

SGML is widely used by security conscious industries, including defence,
electronics, energy supply and other government controlled agencies.
These agencies use a wide range of SGML functions to implement IT
security in ways that are most effective for particular applications.

SC18/WG8 does not consider it appropriate to formulate a single method
for attaching security information to SGML documents. Instead it leaves
it to application developers to adopt techniques that best suit their
user communities. To assist this process WG8 have produced a brief paper
(N1752) outlining techniques that might be applicable to security
control of SGML documents. A copy of this paper is attached to this
liaison statement for your information.

SC18/WG8 would welcome the opportunity to answer any questions SC27
might wish to ask about the ways in which SGML documents can be encoded
for use in secure environments.[^1]

[^1]: Alternatively questions can be posted to the comp.text.sgml
    electronic discussion group, which is monitored by many WG8 members.

ABSTRACT

The Department of the Interior task group on irrigation drainage
conducted field-screening studies at Bureau of Reclamation irrigation
projects associated with wildlife refuges in the western United States
to evaluate potential adverse effects of irrigation practices on fish
and wildlife, or other water users. Nine areas were included in the
field-screening studies in 1986-1987 and an additional eleven areas
included in 1987-1988. At the 20 areas, a total of about 200 samples of
bottom material from streams, rivers, marshes, ponds, lakes, and
drainage ditches were collected. The bottom materials were sieved into
less than 2 millimeter (less than 0.063 millimeter material included)
and less than 0.063 millimeter fractions and analyzed for their total
content for major and minor elements, including heavy metals, arsenic,
selenium, and water-soluble boron. Comparisons are made between the
fractions to show enrichment or depletion of various elements. The
results are useful in designing sampling plans for bottom materials
where specific elements are of primary interest.

**Immobilization of -glucosidase on Eupergit C for Cellulose
Hydrolysis**

Typically, -glucosidase has been used in excessive amounts during the
enzyme hydrolysis of cellulose, in order to minimize
end-product-inhibition from cellobiose. However, the high cost
associated with the high enzyme loading has significantly added to the
operational cost of the whole bioconversion process. It is apparently
that a cost effective enzyme recovery strategy needs to be implemented
before an enzyme-based hydrolysis process can be considered to be
efficient. While membrane filtration has proven to be tedious and
impractical, immobilization of -glucosidase has shown promise as a means
of reusing this type enzyme, as both enzyme and its substrate
(cellubiose) are present in a "dissolved" form in the reaction system.
Different carriers, including Eupergit C, silica and Dulite resin, were
examined in this study for their potential to retain -glucosidase
(Novozyme 188). The catalytic activities as well as other enzyme
properties such as protein-binding capacity, immobilization yield, pH
profile, stability and kinetic constants were assessed and compared with
free -glucosidase.

The immobilized -glucosidase were added to Celluclast and then used in
the hydrolysis of different substrates including organosolv pretreated
substrate, steam exploded corn fiber and Avicel. The efficiency and
stability of immobilized -glucosidase during batch repeated hydrolysis
of these substrates was evaluated. An enzyme recycling strategy using
immobilized -glucosidase will be described.
