1)  Are you experiencing any work related discomfort?  If so what?

2)  Are you aware of hazards other than ergonomic ones in your work
    areas?

3)  Did you know that ergonomic evaluations will not be required after
    office moves?  Instead employees will be asked to take the Remedy
    Online Ergo Self Assessment (OES).  This will also be an annual
    training requirement for folks who use a computer daily.  If you
    answer all questions and the system finds you to be at
    [low]{.underline} risk of an injury, no further action will be
    needed. If you are found to be at [moderate to high
    risk,]{.underline} you will be asked to re-take the evaluation at 30
    and/or 60 days until your risk profile has been improved. If you are
    still at moderate to high risk after these re-assessments, an ergo
    advocate or ergonomist will come and review your work set-up.  You
    can go to the IT Safety pages to learn more about Remedy OES or go
    here: 
    <https://login.remedyint.com/app/index.cfm?company_id=5B504FC4-1143-FDA5-ACF83C6DB5CA6E4B>
    Remember though you can always request an ergo evaluation by going

The 1998 SHIPS (Seismic Hazards Investigation in Puget Sound) survey is

part of a larger geophysical campaign designed to further our
understanding

of earthquake generation within the Cascadia subduction zone. Seismic

surveys conducted during the past 5 years provide wide-angle and MCS
data

from over the trench, and the continental slope and shelf. During the
SHIPS

experiment, we collected seismic data to show the geologic structure

between the shelf and areas closer to the magmatic arc, where the

population is concentrated.

Reflection and wide-angle seismic data from the Strait of Juan de Fuca

indicate that the subducting oceanic plate is shallower than previously

estimated. Strong midcrustal reflections dip east. Below the eastern
part

of this strait, the dip and strength of these reflections increases, and

reflective rocks can be traced to depths as great as 50-60 km. These

reflections probably correlate with similar ones evident in Lithoprobe

seismic data collected across southern Vancouver Island.

SHIPS MCS data collected in the Strait of Georgia show that little

deformed, Holocene and Pleistocene sediment overlies bedrock that is

deformed by thrust faults and broad, gentle folds. A thrust fault
overlies

one of the most active sources of shallow-crustal earthquakes in the

Pacific Northwest.

The Seattle fault underlies a major urban area and is the focus for
intense

investigation. Pre-stack migrated MCS data indicate that within the
upper 2

km this fault dips about 60 degrees south. A 3-D velocity model that

results from tomographic inversion of arrival times in wide-angle
seismic

data indicates that the Seattle fault is a high-angle thrust along which

high-velocity, most likely Eocene volcanic, rocks have overridden fill

within the deep (about 10 km) Seattle basin. In addition the velocity
model

shows that, in north-south cross section, deep fault-bound basins
alternate

with structural highs that trend roughly east-west. Modeling of gravity

data also indicate that the Seattle fault dips steeply south. In this

modeling 3D velocities were transformed to a 3D density model. The
gravity

anomaly calculated from this density model bears excellent agreement
with

the observed gravity anomaly.

**Decision Making**

**STUDENT ACTIVITY**

In this activity, you are going to be introduced to the concept of
controversy and decision making.

1.  Think about a time when you had to make a difficult decision.
    Describe this
    dilemma.![](media/image1.jpeg){width="2.6756944444444444in"
    height="1.7569444444444444in"}

2.  Why are some decisions easier to make than others?

3.  What is it that makes a decision difficult?

4.  In a difficult decision that you made in the past, what helped you
    arrive at your conclusion?

5.  What are some things that you believe are critical in order to make
    an informed decision?

6.  After you have made a difficult decision, what would you do if you
    needed to change your decision?

7.  Read the example below of a controversy. As you are reading, think
    about both sides of the story, and whether additional information
    might be needed to make a decision.

8.  If you were on the panel at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, what
    would you decide? Should a camera be flown on Mariner 2? What
    additional information about the benefits of the camera would you
    need to know before making the decision? What more should you know
    about the issues raised by the opponents?

9.  On a sheet of paper, list the process of how they would make this
    decision, and add additional pieces of information that they would
    need to have before they could make this very difficult decision.

**USDA PROVIDES UPDATE ON GENETICALLY ENGINEERED ALFALFA**

WASHINGTON, March 23, 2007\--In order to comply with a March 12, 2007,
preliminary injunction order by the United States District Court for the
Northern District of California, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is informing all alfalfa
growers that Roundup Ready (RR) alfalfa, is once again a regulated
article, and will remain so until the agency issues a new determination
consistent with court requirements.

The court did not overturn federal conclusions regarding the safety of
the crop for food and feed purposes, but rather concluded that APHIS had
not adequately documented potential environmental impacts. A future
decision regarding the deregulation of RR alfalfa will be issued only
after the completion of an appropriately documented environmental
analysis.

After the court issued its March 12, 2007, order, seed dealers were
notified that seed can no longer be sold. Growers who had already
purchased RR alfalfa seed as of March 12, may plant that seed before
March 30, 2007. Growers who meet these deadlines may harvest, use and
sell their RR alfalfa crop, as may growers who previously planted RR
alfalfa. Any product grown from seed planted after this deadline will be
subject to the full range of APHIS' remedial authorities.

APHIS deregulated genetically engineered (GE) alfalfa lines J101 and
J163 on June 14, 2005, after a thorough review of the scientific
evidence. APHIS prepared an environmental assessment (EA) to determine
whether deregulating the alfalfa could have a significant impact on the
environment and issued a finding of no significant impact. APHIS makes a
determination of nonregulated status only when it can conclude that the
organism does not pose a plant pest risk.

RR alfalfa is engineered to be resistant to the herbicide glyphosate,
marketed under the brand name Roundup. RR products include corn, canola
and soybean and have a long history of safe use.

APHIS regulates the introduction (importation, interstate movement and
environmental release) of GE organisms.  APHIS has been safely
regulating GE organisms since 1986 and has overseen the deregulation of
more than 70 GE crop lines.

Notice of this action is published in the March 23 *Federal Register*.

**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 Columbia Basin Project,
Washington, 1991-92

Sandra S. Embrey; Elizabeth K. Block

ABSTRACT

The investigation indicated that irrigation drainage generally has not
adversely affected biota in the Columbia Basin Irrigation Project.
Hazards to biota caused by large concentrations of certain trace
elements, and associated with irrigation of arid lands with high
evaporation rates, are reduced by imported, dilute Columbia River water.
However, the investigation identified certain conditions with potential
to cause harm. Boron concentrations in aquatic plants might impact
waterfowl feeding on these plants, and arsenic concentrations showed
some biomagnification in animal tissues. In fish collected from
wasteways, total chlordane, total DDT, and dieldrin occasionally
exceeded protection criteria for fish and their predators.

During irrigation season, increased levels of boron, nitrate, and
dissolved solids in water from wasteways in the southern (downgradient)
part of the study area indicated these constituents to be concentrating
because of water reuse. During non-irrigation season, constituent
concentrations in wasteways are increased when flows are dominated by
irrigation-return water from tile drains and ground-water discharge.
Pesticides were detected in 49 of 51 water samples; the herbicide 2,4-D
was detected more than any other and in concentrations as high as 1.0
microgram per liter.

In bottom sediment, median concentrations of trace elements were all
within the baseline range for western soils. Organochlorine
insecticides, including dieldrin, DDT, and methoxychlor, were detected
in samples from 19 of 21 sites.

RE: Coastwise Transportation; 46 U.S.C. § 55103

Dear Mr. O'Riordan:

This letter is in response to your correspondence dated January 16,
2008, in which you request a ruling on whether the coastwise
transportation of the individual mentioned therein aboard the M/V JOH.
GORTHON constitutes a violation of 46 U.S.C. § 55103. Our ruling on your
request follows.

**FACTS**

The voyage in question involves the transportation of the subject
individual aboard the non-coastwise-qualified M/V JOH. GORTHON ("the
vessel"). The individual embarked on January 16, 2008 at Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania and will be staying aboard the vessel at the U.S. port of
Providence, Rhode Island before disembarking in Canada.

**ISSUE**

Whether the use of a non-coastwise-qualified vessel in the voyage
described above constitutes an engagement of coastwise trade in
violation of 46 U.S.C.\
§ 55103?

**LAW AND ANALYSIS**

The coastwise passenger statute, former 46 U.S.C. App. § 289 recodified
as 46 U.S.C. § 55103, pursuant to P.L. 109-304 (October 6, 2006), states
that no foreign vessel shall transport passengers "between ports or
places in the United States to which the coastwise laws apply, either
directly or by way of a foreign port," under a penalty of \$300 for each
passenger so transported and landed. [See]{.underline}
[also]{.underline} 19 C.F.R. § 4.80(b)(2). The coastwise laws generally
apply to points in the territorial sea, which is defined as the belt,
three nautical miles wide, seaward of the territorial sea baseline, and
to points located in internal waters, landward of the territorial sea
baseline.

In the present case, the coastwise passenger statute is inapplicable to
the subject individual's voyage. In Headquarters Decision H016892, dated
September 12, 2007, Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") held that
individuals embarking at a U.S. port and disembarking at a foreign port
were not in violation of the coastwise laws since their transportation
does not involve disembarkation at a coastwise port. Based on the facts
presented, the subject individual will embark at Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, a U.S. port, and will be disembarking in Canada, a foreign
port. Consequently, the individual will not be in violation of the
coastwise statutes insofar as his transportation does not involve
disembarkation at a coastwise port.

**HOLDING**

The use of a non-coastwise-qualified vessel in the voyage described
above does not constitute an engagement in the coastwise trade in
violation of 46 U.S.C.\
§ 55103.

Sincerely,

Glen E. Vereb, Chief
