BLM Issues Emergency Closure at Ash Springs

Ely, Nev.---The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Ely Field Office has
temporarily closed to the public the Little Ash Springs Recreation site
because of diesel fuel contamination. Ash Springs is along U.S. Hwy 93,
about a two-hour drive north of Las Vegas. It is a popular recreation
area for Clark County residents. The spring is also home to the White
River springfish, a federally listed endangered species.

"The site will remain closed until it is determined to be safe for the
public," said Jeff Weeks, Ely assistant field manager. "As soon as the
cleanup is completed and we can assure it is safe to return to the area,
the site will be reopened."

The BLM is investigating the hazardous incident with the assistance of
the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office. At this time, it is estimated that
about five gallons of diesel fuel was poured into the spring earlier
this week.

"Five gallons may not seem like a lot," said Jeanette Matovich, BLM Ely
environmental protection specialist, "but diesel fuel is
hazardous---especially to young children and the elderly."

The cleanup is being conducted in consultation with the Nevada Division
of Environmental Protection and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

For more information call the Ely Field Office at 775-289-1800.

The Government of the United States of America is pleased to announce
the 2009 Edmund S. Muskie Graduate Fellowship Program (Muskie). The
deadline to submit the application for this program is October 31, 2008.

Established by the US Congress in 1992 to encourage economic and
democratic growth in Eurasia, the Edmund S. Muskie Graduate Fellowship
Program is a program of the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs
of the United States Department of State, and administered by IREX. The
program provides opportunities for graduate students and professionals
from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan for
one-year non-degree, one-year degree or two-year degree study in the
United States.

All fellows will attend classes full-time for one to two years and will
be required to create and implement a project related to their
professional interests that benefits the local community. Fellows will
also be required to participate in a full-time summer internship after
their first academic year.

The fellowship provides J-1 visa support, round-trip travel from
fellows' home cities to their US host institutions, university tuition
and mandatory university fees, accident and sickness coverage, monthly
allowance for living expenses, limited book allowance, limited allowance
for professional enrichment activities, pre-academic English-language
training (if necessary), and a wide variety of alumni networking and
training opportunities.

The Muskie Program selects outstanding citizens from Armenia,
Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia,
Ukraine, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan (herein referred to as
Eurasia) to receive fellowships for Master's level study in the United
States in the fields of business administration, economics, law, public
administration, and public policy.  Candidates from countries other than
Russia and Ukraine will also be considered in additional fields of
education, environmental management, international affairs, library and
information science, journalism/mass communications, and public health. 

Applications for the Muskie Exchange Program can be obtained and
submitted by contacting IREX field offices and representatives in

[THE OPTIMIZATION OF A GLUCOSE OXIDASE-MODIFIED ROTATING DISK ENZYME
ELECTRODE]{.underline}**,** [A. A. Peverly]{.underline}**,** N. J.
Ronkainen-Matsuno\*, Benedictine University, Department of Chemisty,
Lisle, IL 60532, [NRonkainen@ben.edu]{.underline}

Enzyme electrodes combine the sensitivity of electrochemical detection
with inherent bioselectivity of enzymes**.** Enzyme electrodes have
increased usage as they are simple to construct, inexpensive, provide
rapid analysis, easily regenerate and are reusable. However, rotating
enzyme electrodes (RDEE) are less commonly studied and not commercially
produced. The rotation of the RDEE provides continuous stirring of the
bulk solution and faster transport of the analyte to the electrode
surface resulting in shorter detection times and faster overall
analysis. The RDEEs are also less likely to suffer from electrode
fouling in biological sample matrix, a major limitation of the existing
enzyme electrodes. In this study, rotating disk electrodes modified with
glucose oxidase (GOx) were constructed as working electrodes for the
amperometric detection of β-D-glucose. The enzyme glucose oxidase (GOx)
is highly specific for β-D-glucose and was directly immobilized onto the
Pt electrode surface through electrodeposition. A membrane prevents
enzyme leaching due to the centrifugal force generated as the electrode
rotates. The oxidation of the H~2~O~2~, enzymatically generated in the
presence of glucose and oxygen, was detected at the optimized potential
of 0.65 V vs. Ag wire using a three-electrode configuration. Additional
experimental conditions such as pH, temperature, and electrode rotation
rate were optimized with free and/or bound enzyme. The optimal
experimental conditions were: pH 9.0, temperature 56º C, and electrode
rotation rate in the range of 400-800 rpm. Also, surface area of the
electrode was determined by chronocoulometry of 6 mM ferricyanide and
the detection limit was established. The specificity of the GOx RDEE for
β-D-glucose relative to sweeteners structurally similar to β-D-glucose
was also studied. GOx RDEE was highly specific for β-D-glucose.

A. A. Peverly was financially supported by the Natural Science Summer
Student Research program at Benedictine University.

**[USDA TO HOLD FARM BILL LISTENING SESSION IN SOUTH
DAKOTA]{.underline}**

**HURON, September 2, 2005** -- Agriculture Under Secretary for Rural
Development Thomas Dorr will host a Farm Bill Forum on Wednesday,
September 7, 2005 at the South Dakota State Fair in Huron, South Dakota
from 12:00 noon until 3:00 p.m. The forum is a nationwide listening tour
aimed at gaining public input useful in preparing for a new farm bill.

The Farm Bill listening session will be held at the South Dakota State
Fair Grounds at the DakotaLand Stage located on 3^rd^ Street (next to
the Administration Building). The listening session is open to the
public and seating is on a first come basis. Speakers are not required
to register and will have two minutes to make their comment. Written
comments may be submitted to USDA at the listening session or via the
website at [www.usda.gov](http://www.usda.gov/).

When participating in the forums, the public is invited to respond to
one or more of the following six questions:

1\. How should farm policy address any unintended consequences and
ensure that such consequences do not discourage new farmers and the next
generation of farmers from entering production agriculture?

2\. How should farm policy be designed to maximize U.S. competitiveness
and our country\'s ability to effectively compete in global markets?

3\. How should farm policy be designed to effectively and fairly
distribute assistance to producers?

4\. How can farm policy best achieve conservation and environmental
goals?

5\. How can Federal rural and farm programs provide effective assistance
in rural areas?

6\. How should agricultural product development, marketing and
research-related issues be addressed in the next farm bill?

The format of the forum will allow an open comment period for general
farm bill comments.

Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns and other top USDA officials have
hosted 14 Farm Bill forums across the country and more are scheduled for
later this month. The dates, locations and times of the forums will
continue to be announced as they are scheduled and posted on the USDA
Website.

The public is also welcome to submit comments via the USDA Farm Bill
Forums website at:

Dear Sirs:

As a small business owner and father and husband,

nothing in my life has caused me more stress and

unhappiness than our tax system. I was hounded by the

IRS for 10 years and ended up divorced and bankrupt.

Discard the current system and the IRS and create a

prosperity unseen in ages.

Abstract for 4^th^ Hybrid Modeling Workshop

Performance comparison of hybrid isentropic-sigma vs. sigma
configurations of the FIM global model

Stan Benjamin, Susan Sahm, Rainer Bleck, John Brown, Jin Lee, Bill
Moninger

The Flow-following finite-volume Icosahedral Model (FIM) developed over
the last 2 years at NOAA/ESRL has modularized the vertical coordinate
within a single routine, allowing application of both theta-sigma-hybrid
(ALE) and pure sigma coordinates. The default configuration is using the
theta-sigma (hybrid-isentropic) coordinate described in the paper by
Bleck presented in this conference.

Real-time testing of the FIM model (using GFS initial conditions) began
in February 2008, allowing the beginning of an intensive
problem-detection and debugging period. After removal of a number of
problems during this period, the hybrid-isentropic FIM model now
produces accuracy (as measured by 500 hPa anomaly correlation
coefficient) at 3-5 days approximately equal to that of the operational
GFS model.

Accordingly, retrospective tests are now beginning for controlled
experiments comparing skill of the hybrid isentropic-sigma and sigma
vertical coordinate configurations for the FIM model. All runs are using
the same GFS initial conditions, same GFS physics (see more FIM details
under [http://fim.noaa.gov](http://fim.noaa.gov/)), and same pre- and
post-processing.

At the workshop, results will be presented, including both overall
verification statistics and case studies.

**WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU ANNOUNCES RADIO SERVICE CODES FOR
LICENSES LISTED ON TRANSFER OF CONTROL AND ASSIGNMENT OF AUTHORIZATION
APPLICATIONS WILL NOW BE DISPLAYED IN THE UNIVERSAL LICENSING SYSTEM**

Beginning May 12, 2003, transfer of control and assignment of
authorization (TC/AA) applications in the Universal Licensing System
(ULS) will display the radio service code for each call sign listed on
an application. Prior to this enhancement, the code "AL" was displayed
in lieu of the actual radio service code. The changes can be noticed in
two places:

1)  Online Filing -- Print Preview: After an application is submitted
    electronically, the "Print Preview" button will launch the
    application that was just submitted and the application will display
    the radio service code for each call sign listed on the application.

2)  Application Search: Any application filed on or after May 12, 2003
    that is viewed through the ULS Application Search will display the
    radio service code for each call sign listed on the application.

This enhancement provides direct and useful information to the public
and Commission staff regarding the types of wireless licenses listed on
TC/AA applications. A simplistic depiction of the portion of TC/AA
applications that have changed is illustrated below.

EYE CLINIC

1\. The retina in the back of your eye is used for seeing detail. The
retina in the front

of your eye does not help you see. It is thinner tissue and may break
down or

tear.

2\. The gel in the middle of your eye is a shock absorber. As you age,
it collects

more water and moves more freely. It often pulls on your retina. This
looks like

small, flashing lights (like fireflies, tiny headlights, lightning
flashes, or sparklers).

3\. Also, the gel collects more clumps of cells. These cells float and
make shadows

on the retina. They look like spider webs, black or clear spots, or
strings.

4\. The gel may pull so much that the retina breaks or tears. This might
cause

symptoms that look like the normal flashing lights or floaters
(described above).

You can\'t tell which flashes and floaters are normal and which are
caused by

retinal breaks or tears.

5\. A serious symptom is a curtain blocking part of your side vision.
This curtain

may be solid (black) or partly clear. It can come from any direction. It
can be

caused by broken or loose retina floating in the gel.

6\. The doctor found areas of your peripheral retina which are thinned,
scarred, or

prone to pulling or breaking.

7.  You need to watch for:

    -   Any unusual flashing lights or floaters,

    -   Any increase in flashes or floaters,

    -   Any new symptoms (curtains).

8\. Your retinal condition is

Despite recent advancements in the understanding of biochemical pathways
in vascular development and organogenesis, many non-cellular biophysical
factors that are influential in various stages of vascular morphogenesis
remain unexplored. In this project, we will focus on developing a
biologically remodelable microfluidic scaffolds elucidate these physical
stimuli of vascular morphogenesis. To this end, we have worked on the
determination of a biocompatible material for microfabrication, the
characterization of the mode of mass transfer within the host material,
and the introduction of vascular endothelial cells into this
microfluidic scaffold. We will work toward the use of this of this
artificial microenvironment to examine discrete stages of
vascularization upon perfusion in the microfluidic scaffold. To date, we
have demonstrated a successful collagen-based microfluidic network with
convective mass transfer; this system is ready for cell-seeding and
subsequently vascularization under perfusion in future experiments. We
believe our model of vascularization *in vitro* will provide valuable
insight to the process of tumor angiogenesis.

## Surfactants in Enzymatic Hydrolysis of Lignocellulose

Lignocellulose is a potential substrate for ethanol production. However,
high cellulose conversion requires high enzyme loading, which makes the
process less economically feasible. Addition of surfactants to enzymatic
hydrolysis of lignocellulose increases the conversion of cellulose into
soluble sugars. Experiments were designed to explore mechanisms of
surfactant effects. A number of surfactants were screened for their
ability to improve enzymatic hydrolysis of steam pretreated spruce.
Non-ionic surfactants were found to be the most effective. Studies of
adsorption of the dominating cellulase of *Trichoderma reesei*, Cel7A
(CBHI), during hydrolysis showed that non-ionic surfactants reduced
enzyme adsorption to the lignocellulose substrate.

Our conclusions from studies of lignocellulose and delignified
substrates are that improved conversion of lignocellulose with
surfactant can be explained by reduction of the unproductive enzyme
adsorption to the lignin part of the substrate. This is due to
hydrophobic interaction of surfactant with lignin on the lignocellulose
surface, which releases unspecific bound enzyme. A new approach with
mixed charged and non-ionic surfactants has been introduced to further
improve the positive effect of surfactant addition. A study with
non-ionic surfactants (alkyl poly(ethylene oxide)) with various amounts
of ethylene oxide in the hydrophilic head was performed. The results
showed that the increase in hydrolysis of lignocellulose increased with
the length of the ethylene oxide chain.
The total impedance seen by the source looking into cavity along
transmission line is

$$Z = \frac{{\beta Z}_{0}}{1 + \frac{I_{\text{beam}}}{U_{\text{cav}}}R_{s}\text{cos}\varphi_{s} + i(Q_{0}\xi + \frac{I_{\text{beam}}}{U_{\text{cav}}}R_{s}\text{sin}\varphi_{s})}$$

There are two matching conditions, to have cavity matched to Zo
impedance of transmission line.. During beam time we need to have,

First, ImZ=0 during beam time, this means that cavity has to be detuned
so that during beam
time,$$$Q_{0}\xi + \frac{I_{\text{beam}}}{U_{\text{cav}}}R_{s}\text{sin}\varphi_{s}$=0

> Second condition is choice of coupling,

$$1 + \frac{I_{\text{beam}}}{U_{\text{cav}}}R_{s}\text{cos}\varphi_{s} = \beta = 1 + \frac{P_{\text{beam}}}{P_{\text{cav}}}$$
**STATEMENT OF**

**COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS**

*Re: Carriage of Digital Television Broadcast Signals: Amendment to Part
76 of the Commission's Rules, CS Docket 98-120*

In the cable carriage order adopted last September, I expressed my
disappointment that we did not resolve these small system issues at the
time. Again, when we deferred the HD carriage requirements for DBS
operators last March, I expressed the hope that we would turn quickly to
the carriage issues raised by small cable operators. While this Order
has taken far longer than I would have preferred, I am pleased that we
have finally acted to provide some relief for small cable systems. At
the same time, I am pleased that the Commission will re-examine these
exemptions by February 17, 2012 to ensure that we maintain the
appropriate balance as the digital marketplace continues to evolve.
