# **Harvard University Round Robin, January 2005**

Jeffrey Horrell, the Associate University Librarian for Collections at
Harvard College Library has left to become Dean of Libraries and
[Librarian of the College](http://diglib.dartmouth.edu/) at Dartmouth
beginning in February. The position that Jeff vacated has been
reconfigured into two AUL positions, one for Collections and one for
Collection Management. Head of Collection Development Dan Hazen has been
appointed to the Collections position and Head of Access Services
Marilyn Wood has been appointed as to the Collection Management post
which includes responsibility for Technical Services.

Although our budget remained stable, substantial increases in fixed
costs resulted in the need to cut operations budgets. Two of the Harvard
College Libraries are closing. The Hilles (one of two undergraduate
units) Library's collections are being dispersed and the facility will
be devoted to other uses, including a small library for the residents of
"the Quad." The Kummel Library of the Geological Sciences will close and
its collections will be incorporated into the Cabot Science Library.
Harvard College Library Technical Services lost three positions, two of
them occupied by long-term professional staff.

Technical Services is conducting a cataloging backlog reduction project
with one-time funds from the collections budgets. A contingent of
one-year positions is processing titles that were sent to the cataloging
backlog even though full records were available when they were received
-- a procedure implemented because all cataloging staff were diverted to
acquisitions activities in order to expend our collection accounts. We
are also outsourcing large blocks of Western European language materials
to OCLC TechPro and are running our backlog files against RLIN using
Backstage (Marcadia.)

We have increased the number of approval plans and are purchasing as
many bibliographic records from book as are available and suitable.
**National Irrigation Water Quality Program**\
U.S. Department of the Interior

Reconnaissance investigation of water quality, bottom sediment, and
biota associated with irrigation drainage in the Dolores Project Area,
southwestern Colorado and southeastern Utah, 1990-91 Water Resources
Investigations Report: 94-4041.

Butler, D.L.; Krueger, R.P.; Campbell Osmundson, B.; Jensen, E.G.

ABSTRACT

Water, bottom-sediment, and biota samples were collected in 1990-91 to
identify water-quality problems associated with irrigation drainage in
the Dolores Project area. Concentrations of cadmium, mercury, and
selenium in some water samples exceeded aquatic-life criteria. Selenium
was associated with irrigation drainage from the Dolores Project, but
other trace elements may be transported into the area in the irrigation
water supply. Selenium concentrations exceeded the chronic aquatic-life
criterion in water samples from lower McElmo Creek and Navajo Wash,
which drain the Montezuma Valley, from newly irrigated areas, and from
the Mancos River. The maximum selenium concentration in water was 88
micrograms per liter from Navajo Wash. Concentrations of herbicides in
water were less than concentrations harmful to aquatic life. Selenium
concentrations in four bottom-sediment samples exceeded the baseline
concentrations for soils in the Western United States. The largest
selenium concentrations in biota were in samples from Navajo Wash, from
newly irrigated areas north of the Montezuma Valley, and from the Mancos
River basin. Selenium concentrations in aquatic-invertebrate samples
from the newly irrigated areas exceeded a guideline for food items
consumed by fish and wildlife. Selenium concentrations in whole-body
suckers were larger in the San Juan River downstream from the Dolores
Project than upstream from the project at Four Corners. Selenium
concentrations in fathead minnow samples from two sites were at
adverse-effect levels. Mercury concentrations in warm-water game fish in
reservoirs in the study area may be of concern to human health. Some
concentrations of other trace elements exceeded background
concentrations, but the concentrations were not toxicologically
significant or the toxicologic significance is not known.

*[Medicine Disposal Partnership]{.underline}*

**Flush Less, Crush More**

The Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) has
signed a formal agreement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
the American Pharmacists Association (APhA) to help protect the
nation\'s fish and aquatic resources from the improper disposal of
medication. The campaign \-- dubbed \"SMARxT DISPOSAL\" \-- will inform
people on how to safely dispose of medicines and highlight the
environmental threat posed from flushing medicines down the toilet.

\"Trace amounts of chemical compounds often associated with medications
have been increasingly detected in our waters, the very waters that
support our nation\'s fish and other wildlife,\" said Gary Frazer,
Assistant Director of Fisheries and Habitat Conservation, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service. \"While uncertainty still exists about the impact of
these chemicals, the Service, PhRMA and the APhA recognize the value of
getting in front of the issue by passing along a few easy steps: don\'t
flush those medicines, crush the medicines in a plastic bag, add
coffee-grounds, sawdust or kitty-litter, seal the bag and put it in the
trash. In other words, crush\...don\'t flush.\"

\"Proper disposal of medicines is important to America\'s families. 
PhRMA is very excited to be working on this initiative with the Fish and
Wildlife Service and American Pharmacist Association that will educate
all Americans on the safest way to dispose of unused medicines,\" said
Billy Tauzin, President and CEO of the Pharmaceutical Research and
Manufacturers Association.

APhA, PhRMA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service say three steps can
make a huge difference:

> **Do not flush unused medications or pour them down a sink or
> drain. ** Recent studies report that flushing medicines could be
> having an adverse impact on the environment.  While the rule of thumb
> is not to flush, the Food and Drug Administration has determined that
> certain medications should be flushed due to their abuse potential.
> Read the instructions on your medication and talk to your pharmacist.
>
> **Dispose of unused medication in household trash: ** When discarding
> unused medications, ensure you protect children and pets from
> potentially negative effects:  

-   Pour medication in a sealable plastic bag.  If medication is a solid
    (pill, liquid capsule, etc.), crush it or add water to dissolve it.

-   Add kitty litter, sawdust, coffee grounds (or any material that
    mixes with the medication and makes it less appealing for pets or
    children to eat) to the plastic bag.

-   Seal the plastic bag and put it in the trash.

-   Remove and destroy all identifying personal information
    (prescription label) from the medication container.

> **Check for approved state and local collection programs. ** In
> certain states, you may be able to take your unused medications to
> your community pharmacy.

**Imports To Shut Down October 20-23, 2006**

**Approved by:**

U.S. Embassy

**Prepared by:**

Karla Tay, Agricultural Specialist

**Report Highlights:**

Guatemala will stop processing imports from October 20-23, 2006 due to
an institutional modernizing process in the Customs offices. New
databases and information systems will be installed. Exports will not be
affected. Normal operations will resume by October 24, 2006.

Includes PSD Changes: No

Includes Trade Matrix: No

Unscheduled Report

Guatemala \[GT1\]

\[GT\]

Guatemala Customs (SAT) announced that due to information systems
upgrades, SAT will not let imports enter the country from Friday,
October 20 until Sunday, October 22. SAT will implement a new database
as part of the institutional modernizing process whose ultimate goal is
to offer an updated information platform, with greater stability and
more capacity. The institution is urging its users to transmit requests
prior to October 19. For those importers who may not be able to deliver
their paperwork before the 19^th^, they can physically present the
documents for processing by Monday, October 23.

Exports will not be affected. Exporters will be given the opportunity to
present next week a definite declaration of exports or re-exports
carried out during those three days. Guatemala's Association of
Non-Traditional Exporters (AGEXPRONT) confirmed that the process will
have a very low impact on exports and that the sector is looking forward
to the new system.

Importers and shipping companies are worried since commerce with El
Salvador will also be affected. Various exporters and importers are
considering temporary alternative routes through Honduras. SAT has been
seriously criticized by these two sectors, which cannot understand the
lack of complementary mechanisms to overcome this situation without
interfering with commerce. Edgardo Wagner, President for the Chamber of
Commerce, is concerned about the potential business impact, because
imports will be increasing in the time before Christmas, and shippers
will incur demurrage due to insufficient lead time for planning. SAT, on
the other hand, considers the measure to be both necessary and not of
great economic impact as imports are low during the weekends. SAT is
also negotiating with the port authorities to increase the working hours
in the previous days.

The announcement was not well received by the commercial sector, in
general, as container freight tariffs will also be increased by \$ 50 as
of November 12, 2006. This new tariff will only affect commerce through
the Atlantic Ocean, since Puerto Quetzal in the south coast is exempt.
IGS AC Workshop, June 2-6 2008, Miami, US

Recommendations from session "**IGS network issues & challenges"**

**Recommendation 1**

The IGS should develop a standard protocol for exchanging information
about IGS stations. The IGS CB should maintain the associated
machine-readable database populated with information provided by

-   IGS station managers: reporting on all kinds of local site effects,
    tracking problems

-   IGS data centers: statistics covering data availability, data
    latency, completeness of data files and the consistency of the
    records in the RINEX header and the site logs

-   IGS analysis centers: reports on processing problems with specific
    stations

-   IGS working groups and pilot projects

-   Other networks sharing a common station with the IGS

**Recommendation 2**

The IGS station managers should

-   Announce when they make major changes at their stations, such as new
    antenna, etc\... before the change is actually made (mandatory for
    IGS05 reference frame sites).

-   Submit site pictures to the IGS Central Bureau; the pictures need to
    be updated when a change at the antenna, its monument or
    surroundings occurs.

**Recommendation 3**

The IGS Central Bureau is encouraged to

-   Reduce of the latency when updating site log files

-   Maintain of a list with the type of calibration available at each
    IGS station

-   Provide for each IGS station a link to all other external info
    available for that station

-   Maintain realistic IGS station maps based on data availability and
    not just site log availability

-   Maintain a list of 2-AC stations for others ACs to consider.

**Recommendation 4**

The IGS acceptance process for new stations needs to

-   Define \"critical world areas\": stations from those areas that pass
    the major criteria should become IGS stations without question

-   Define and set up a procedure to regularize high quality non-IGS
    stations contributing to several AC solutions

-   Request site pictures (in all directions) before adding a station to
    the IGS network.

**Recommendation 5**

The IGS shall define and set up a process with all other networks who
share a common station, to communicate with each other when there\'s a
site log update.

**Recommendation 6**

The IGS should consider trusting gatekeeper's data directly and
monitoring only the stations not already managed by a competent
organization. The IGS will then only deal with the gatekeepers for
problems with those stations. The gatekeepers should be certified to be
following the IGS standards (at least) through a simple questionnaire
and regular spot checks

**Recommendation 7**

The IGS needs to set up

-   A process to define and certify ITRF-quality stations

**SSA Intelligent Workstations and LAN Site Preparations**

**Social Security Administration**

In an effort to create intelligent workstations and local area networks
(LAN) in all Social Security Administration offices, the agency created
site-specific construction documents for each SSA office to ensure
uniformity of installations. The electrical and cable requirements for
system furniture and other associated equipment were developed and
incorporated into computer-assisted drawings for each installation. SSA
then partnered with the General Services Administration for term
contractors to complete the necessary workstation and LAN installations.
This partnership reduced the time to complete the intelligent
workstation and LAN installations.

Dr. Trachtenberg will be studying at the molecular level the structural
basis of cell motility in the model organism ***Spiroplasma***. In
earlier collaboration with our lab and that of Richard Leapman
(DBEPS/ORS), he has found that the cytoskeleton of *spiroplasma* is in
the form of a flat ribbon comprised of seven fibers attached to the cell
membrane; it is responsible for maintaining the helical shape of the
cell, as well as for its motility. This organization of the ribbon has
now been confirmed by sophisticated EM tomography analysis of whole
cells, as well as of isolated membrane fractions. Interestingly, it
conflicts with results recently published by others in Science. Now,

Dr. Trachtenberg will be refining the existing tomographic data sets and
writing up the results, which, clearly need to be published as soon as
possible.

The Honorable Joshua B. Bolten

Director

Office of Management and Budget

Old Executive Office Building

Washington, D.C. 20503

Dear Mr. Bolten:

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) herewith transmits its FY 2005
Budget Request of \$52,742,000 and 391 FTE. Pursuant to provisions of
the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA), this budget request is
submitted concurrently to the OMB and Congress.

This FEC FY 2005 Budget Request represents a continuation of the FY 2004
funding levels, as adjusted for inflation and salary and benefit
increases, and contains neither new initiatives nor any programmatic
increases. It is a current services level request that represents a
4.56% increase over our expected FY 2004 appropriation of \$50,440,000
for 391 FTE.

Virtually all of this increase is to cover the costs of the 391 FTE
based on projected government-wide pay increases and increases in
benefits costs. Non-personnel costs in the FY 2005 request increase .02%
from FY 2004.

The FEC request provides sufficient resources to support FEC programs
and implementation of the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (BCRA). BCRA
represented the first major amendments to the FECA since 1980. As our
budget justification notes, the FEC met the challenge of very strict
deadlines in FY 2002 and 2003 to complete rulemaking required by the
BCRA and to prepare legal briefs to respond to BCRA court challenges.

Regardless of the Supreme Court decision, the Commission anticipates
significant work will be required to complete further rulemakings
resulting from the decision. The FY 2005 request provides the staff and
support resources necessary to make the final adjustments to FEC
programs necessitated by the BCRA and related legal rulings.

The Commission also transmits its revised FY 2004-2008 Information
Technology Strategic Plan and an Enforcement Profile of the FEC
compliance programs, as of September 30, 2003.

The Commission strongly urges the full support of our FY 2005 budget
request. This modest current services level request will permit the FEC
to continue it efforts to successfully implement and enforce the FECA
and continue to make improvements to our disclosure and compliance
programs.

Sincerely,

Ellen L. Weintraub

Chair

QUINSY

Quinsy, peritonsillar abscess and suppurative tonsillitis are terms
applied to an abscess in and about the tonsil secondary to acute or
chronic tonsillitis. There is marked pain in the throat, particularly on
swallowing, swelling of the tonsils and palate, and enlargement of the
glands of the neck. Spontaneous or surgical opening of the abscess with
drainage of the pus usually brings quick relief.

**Underwriting Requirements**

An APS (VA Form 29-8158) is required if not adequately described.

To The President\'s Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform:

Please repeal the 16th amendment and support a consumption tax, sometime
called the Fair Tax. Citizens should be able to take home their whole
check and then pay taxes when they buy items. You can see the many
benefits by going to [www.fairtax.org](http://www.fairtax.org/).

Many countries around the world, even Russia, are implementing the
consumption tax system and their economies are growing rapidly.

CO flight 1664 AUS-IAH English Bulldog - Female

April 5, 2006 Name: Gretta Age: 1yr & 8mos

**[Owner/Guardian]{.underline}**

**REDACTED**

**[Narrative Description:]{.underline}**

**Description of the Incident:**

Gretta was flying from Austin, TX to Cleveland, OH. Upon connecting in
Houston (IAH), the PetSafe agent noticed that Gretta was in distress.
She was immediately pulled from the flight line and was rushed to a
nearby Animal Emergency Clinic for emergency treatment. Unfortunately,
Gretta was deceased upon arrival at the clinic approximately 20 minutes
after arriving into Houston.

**Description of the Cause of the Incident:**

A necropsy was performed by the Veterinarian at the Emergency Animal
Clinic, and he reported that Gretta suffered a Gastric Volvulus, more
commonly known as "Gastric Torsion" which is indicative of a condition
unrelated to air transit.

**Description of any corrective action taken:**

All Continental policies were followed, and Gretta's condition could not
be anticipated and was unrelated to air travel, so no corrective action
is necessary.

CO flight 1151 EWR-ATL American Bulldog - Female

April 30, 2006 Name: Midget Age: 2yrs

**[Owner/Guardian]{.underline}**

**REDACTED**

**[Narrative Description:]{.underline}**

**Description of the Incident:**

Midget was flying from Boston to Atlanta. She was observed by the
PetSafe agent in Newark when she made her connecting flight and appeared
to be normal. However, upon arrival of flight 1151 into Atlanta a few
hours later, she was found deceased inside her kennel.

**Description of the Cause of the Incident:**

A necropsy was performed and no abnormalities were noted and the
Veterinarian noted that there was no definitive diagnosis.

**Description of any corrective action taken:**

After a thorough investigation, it was determined that there were no
mechanical problems with the aircraft, and all Continental procedures
were followed. Ambient temperatures were between 50-60 degrees
throughout the journey, so heat did not play a role. Midget appears to
have died of natural causes. Death was not related to Continental's
handling or transit, so no corrective action was necessary.
