**Subject/Title/Topic(s):**

Working with foreign contributors to NASA missions/Flight Assurance

**Description of Driving Event:**

Schedules that had been agreed, on closer examination, turned out to
mean something different than parties expected; design loads presented
to NASA for use in designing a mission payload were wildly conservative
& could lead to significant cost increases.

**Lesson(s) Learned:**

In PI-mode missions with a foreign partner making a major hardware
contribution, reconciliation during the proposal stage of NASA\'s and
the partner\'s approaches to setting environmental standards and
structuring environmental tests and QA program features may avoid
protracted delays later. A good place to start is with definition of
terms, e.g., Preliminary Design Review may not mean the same thing to
CNES as it does to NASA.

**Recommendation(s):**

Early agreement on definition of terms & on environmental standards,
test, and QA programs; need to avoid policy of not insisting on an
appropriate level of insight just because foreign partner has offered a
contribution; could be a significant risk to NASA\'s investment in the
mission.

Salvage Radio Script

Narrator: Most people assume that personal items that were submerged or
got wet from flood waters need to be thrown out. FEMA Environmental
Officer Bill Kennedy says that DC residents who suffered damage to items
like photos, letters, and books should know that these can be saved if
certain steps are taken.

Kennedy: As a matter of fact, there are a number of things they can do
to restore things that have historical or sentimental value for them. If
they move quickly, they can in all likelihood preserve anything that
they have, whether they are pictures, disks, photographs, books, or
letters.

Narrator: Some general cleaning tips can be applied to almost any
personal item that needs to be salvaged.

Kennedy: The first tip is that if the object is still wet, rinse with
clean, clear water. Clean and remove debris with soft brushes or damp
clothes without grinding debris into objects. The best way to inhibit
the growth of mold or mildew is to reduce humidity. Increase air flow
with fans, open windows, air conditioners, and dehumidifiers.

Narrator: Many residents are most concerned about family photographs
that were damaged in the flood. With proper care, these too can be
saved.

Kennedy: Damaged photographs for which there are no negatives should
receive attention first. Once photographs are stuck together or become
moldy, saving them may not be possible. Handle wet photographs
carefully; the surfaces may be fragile. Wet photos may be rinsed in
clear water if needed and sealed in a plastic garbage bag with a type or
a Ziploc-type plastic bag. If possible, put wax paper between each
photos. If a freezer is available, freeze the photos immediately. Later,
the photos can be defrosted, separated, and air-dried.

Narrator: For artistic works or for items with great monetary or
sentimental value, organizations right here in Washington can provide
advice and restoration expertise.

Kennedy: The American Institute for Conservation of Historic and
Artistic Works or the Heritage Preservation Society have some people
that can come out and give you a hand give you some advice. Their
telephone number is 202-452-9545.

[Sequencing of the Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae Genome and Application to
Identifying Virulence Factors and Understanding
Pathogenicity](../02N-0027_ts00007_02_vol2.ppt)

*Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae* is an important pathogen of swine world-wide
and has resisted attempts to control infections through vaccination.
Little is known about its virulence mechanisms, but colonization of the
swine respiratory tract does predispose the animal to more severe
disease from other important pathogens. There are no tools are available
for genetic analysis to help address this lack of knowledge so it was
necessary to take a more global approach to identify potential virulence
factors. Genome sequencing was undertaken to bridge the gap between more
biochemical studies and the attempts to understand cell-cell
interactions and virulence. Over 16,000 sequence reads were performed
along with 500 finishing reads using custom primers before the gaps
could be closed. The *M. hyopneumoniae* genome is approximately 900 kb
in size, has a G+C content of 28.6% and has about 766 ORFs coding for
potential proteins. Forty nine percent of these are unique with no known
function; 83% of these are unique to *M. hyopneumoniae*. Analysis of the
ORFs has revealed significant insight into the physiology of this simple
organism and how it may interact with its environment. Like other
mycoplasmas, *M. hyopneumoniae* lacks biosynthetic pathways for amino
acids, purines and pyrimidines, and must therefore acquire these from
its environment. Transport of these biomolecular precursors across the
membrane is essential for survival and numerous transport proteins are
available for this activity. The energy for metabolism is derived from a
simple glycolytic pathway. There are duplicated genes, IS elements and
paralogs of important virulence-related genes. Through a combination of
proteomics and genomics it is now possible to dissect the membrane
topology and composition of *M. hyopneumoniae* leading to a better
understanding of potential virulence mechanisms.

## Re: Toll Free IMG Extension Request

Dear Mr. Hoffman:

We have received your November 29, 2000 letter to Ms. Dorothy Attwood,
Chief, Common Carrier Bureau, advising that the North American Numbering
Council (NANC) has formed an issue management group (IMG) in response to
the Commission's request for advice from NANC on how best to administer
toll free numbers (CC Docket No. 95-155). Specifically, the Commission
sought NANC's recommendation to facilitate the selection of a toll free
number administrator through a competitive bidding process, and the
Commission requested NANC to develop technical requirements for toll
free number administration. The NANC was asked to submit its report
within 180 days of the effective date of the Commission's July 5, 2000
order. You indicate that the IMG reached an impasse and that it does not
appear possible to reach a consensus on the use of a competitive bid to
select a new toll free administrator. You state that efforts are
continuing to produce a technical requirements document and that
additional time, until March 30, 2001, is needed to complete that work.

While we wish to receive a complete report from NANC as soon as
possible, we appreciate the work that the NANC has undertaken to provide
a report on toll free administration technical requirements. We
recognize the complexity of the issues surrounding toll free
administration and request that the NANC submit its comprehensive report
no later than March 30, 2001.

Sincerely,

Yog R. Varma

**DISSENTING STATEMENT OF**

**COMMISSIONER MICHAEL J. COPPS**

*Re: Infinity Broadcasting Operations Inc., licensee of WKRK-FM, Detroit
Michigan, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture*

I dissent from the Commission's decision today to provide a slap on the
wrist rather than take serious action to address the indecency on our
airwaves. In this decision, the Commission proposes a fine of \$27,500
against this multi-billion dollar media conglomerate.

I am troubled by several aspects of this decision that demonstrate the
Commission is not yet taking a strong stand against indecency on the
airwaves. First, the Commission fined this very same station last year
for airing some of the most vulgar and disgusting material I have had
the misfortune to examine since I joined the Commission. In both that
decision and this Order, the Commission warned Infinity that additional
violations may well lead to the initiation of a license revocation
proceeding. Some may argue that the program at issue today pre-dated the
broadcast addressed last year, which only serves to demonstrate the need
to consider complaints in a more timely manner. Moreover, the statute
does not require notice to begin a license revocation hearing.

Second, the Commission recently reaffirmed that its indecency
enforcement will address not only the station that is the subject of a
complaint, but also any other station that aired the same programming.
Yet here, the Commission proposes a fine against only WKRK-FM in Detroit
notwithstanding that this program airs on numerous stations across the
country.

The time has come for the Commission to send a message that it is
serious about enforcing its indecency rules.

Sources for systematic errors cannot only come from instrument
manufacture and design, but also from mathematical routines used for
processing flux estimates (software). Each study site usually uses an
in-house software program tailored to their specific needs. Assessment
of different processing software has been accomplished by comparing
estimated fluxes derived from a common standard raw data file collected
from a CLOSED-PATH IRGA ('Gold file', found at
<http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/ftp/ameriflux/gold/Closed_Path/>).

Many sites have switched to the Licor-7500 open-path IRGA because of
their higher frequency response and low power requirements. The WPL
conversion (Webb *et al.* 1980) that results from mass transfer
associated with surface heating and evaporation, and can be \> 100% of
the measured flux by open-path sensors. To assess the potential of
systematic bias due to software procedures in calculating fluxes, we
present a 'Gold' file for open-path IRGA datasets.

Raw 10 hz dataset and accompanied 30-min average meteorological data can
be found at (<http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/ftp/ameriflux/gold/Open_Path/>).
A descriptive
(<http://cdiac.esd.ornl.gov/ftp/ameriflux/gold/Open_Path/Gold_processing_notes.doc>)
file explains site conditions and how our processed data was calculated.
Results are available upon request (<hank.loescher@oregonstate.edu>). We
ask that any site using an open-path sensor calculate fluxes using this
'Gold' file, particularly those sites anticipating a site visit by the
portable eddy covariance system.

# [Deficit Accountability Starts Here]{.underline}

Dear Colleague:

With federal spending at an all time high, it is time that Members of
this House assumed responsibility when the government runs a deficit.
I'm sure every Member of Congress has received hundreds of constituent
letters expressing their anger with our yearly cost of living
adjustments (COLA). Year in and year out, we must attempt to explain to
constituents why Members automatically receive salary increases
regardless of increased deficit spending. With this in mind I am
re-introducing a simple bill that will hold Members accountable when the
government runs a deficit.

The *Deficit Accountability Act of 2004*, will provide that no automatic
pay adjustments be made for Members of Congress in the year following a
fiscal year in which there is a Federal budget deficit. If this Congress
cannot work together to keep spending levels down, then it stands to
reason that we should not receive an increase in pay. We must lead by
example and I believe that this simple measure helps us do just that.

I hope that you will join me as an original co-sponsor of the *Deficit
Accountability Act of 2004*. If you should need any further information,
or if you would like to lend your support to this bill, please contact
me, or Nick Dietzen of my staff at 5-5744.

Sincerely,

Cliff Stearns

Chicago, Illinois 60601

Dear Ms. Paolini-Subramanya:

JetBroadband VA, LLC and JetBroadband WV, LLC ("JetBroadband), a cable
operator with systems in Virginia and West Virginia, filed a petition
requesting waiver of Section 76.1204(a)(1) of the Commission's rules.
JetBroadband bases its request on its plan to upgrade its systems with
equipment developed by Beyond Broadband Technology ("BBT"). With this
letter, I seek more information regarding BBT's proposed solution, and
grant an interim deferral of enforcement of Section 76.1204(a)(1) of the
Commission's rules to JetBroadband until September 1, 2007.

The record indicates significant disagreement between the Consumer
Electronics Association and BBT regarding the openness of BBT's
standards.[^1] We would like you to submit detailed information, by
August 3, 2007, regarding the openness of BBT's standards. You should
include concrete examples that compare the openness of those standards

RE: The tariff classification of styles 102044/102044H, Matee Costume,
from China, Taiwan, India and Vietnam

Dear Mr. August:

In your letter dated October 25, 2007, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on the following flimsy costumes, which are being
returned upon your request.

Styles 102044/102044H, Matee Costume, are two styles of a flimsy textile
costume set made of knit polyester. Each style consists of a top, a
skirt, a bandanna, arm ties and a belt, with the top imparting the
essential character. The top is overwhelmingly flimsy, with loose
overlock stitched neck and seams, flimsy thin elastics and loose
overlock stitched edges at the arms and bottom.

The applicable subheading for styles 102044/102044H, Matee Costume, will
be 9505.90.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS), which provides for "Festive, carnival or other entertainment
articles, including magic tricks and practical joke articles; parts and
accessories thereof: Other: Other." The rate of duty will be Free.

Duty rates are provided for your convenience and are subject to change.
The text of the most recent HTSUS and the accompanying duty rates are
provided on World Wide Web at http://www.usitc.gov/tata/hts/.

Please note that separate Federal Trade Commission marking requirements
exist regarding country of origin, fiber content, and other information
that must appear on many textile items. You should contact the Federal
Trade Commission, Division of Enforcement, 6th and Pennsylvania Avenue,
N.W., Washington, D.C., 20580, for information on the applicability of
these requirements to this item. Information can also be found at the
FTC website www.ftc.gov (click on "For

Business" and then on "Textile, Wool, Fur").

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is

**Update: Baxter Heparin Sodium Recall**

###### VHA Pharmacy Benefits Management Service and Medical Advisory Panel

Baxter\'s recall of heparin products now includes all lots of heparin
sodium injection: multiple-dose vials, single dose vials and heparin
lock flush products. These products include heparin sodium injection
5000 units/mL 10mL multi-dose vials, heparin sodium injection 10,000
units/mL 4mL multi-dose vials, heparin sodium injection 1000 USP
units/mL, 5000 USP units/mL, and 10,000 USP units/mL single-dose vials,
and all HEP-LOCK and HEP-LOCK U/P, 10 USP units/mL and 100 USP units/mL
vials, both preserved and preservative-free.

It is possible that some of the recalled product may have been dispensed
at the patient level for home use. This product should be recalled as
well.

This recall does not involve Baxter\'s heparin pre-mix IV solutions in
bags: heparin sodium in 5% dextrose injection and heparin sodium in 0.9%
sodium chloride injection.

**[PBM has verified the current status of alternate heparin
sources:]{.underline}**

**APP:** Product is available through drop ship using McKesson or direct
shipment. They have stock on hand and have no backorders. APP is still
allocating product; if a facility orders excessive amounts, their order
will be decreased based on past purchase history. APP states they have a
sufficient quantity of heparin however, they want to ensure they can
continue to supply nationwide so the allocation program in place is to
prevent stockpiling. Direct order through APP by calling 888-386-1300.

APP has a heparin Q&A document on their web site:

<http://www.appdrugs.com/heparin_QandA.aspx>

Facilities and practitioners are reminded to continue monitoring all
patients receiving heparin products. Nearly all reported adverse
reactions have occurred in three specific areas of product use -- renal
dialysis, invasive cardiovascular procedures and apheresis procedures.
Reported adverse patient reactions have included: stomach pain or
discomfort, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased or low blood pressure,
chest pain, fast heart rate, dizziness, fainting, unresponsiveness,
shortness of breath, the feeling of a strong or rapid heartbeat, drug
ineffectiveness, burning sensation, redness or paleness of skin,
abnormal sensation of the skin, mouth or lips, flushing, increased
sweating, decreased skin sensitivity, headache, feeling unwell,
restlessness, watery eyes, throat swelling, thirst, bleeding tendencies
and difficulty opening the mouth. **Some of these reactions,
particularly profound and refractory hypotension, may be severe or
life-threatening.**

**The Military Personnel Recruitment and**

**Retention Enhancement Act**

Our nation's tax code is so flawed that our soldiers, sailors, airmen,
marines, and coast guardsmen must re-enlist in a combat zone like the
Persian Gulf or the former Yugoslavia to avoid paying a minimum of 28%
of their well-deserved bonus to the Internal Revenue Service. I soon
will be re-introducing the attached bill to make all enlistment,
accession, re-enlistment and retention bonuses for our military
personnel tax free, regardless of their present assignment. Many of you
cosponsored this bill, H.R. 1466, in the 107th Congress (cosponsors
listed below).

Our nation\'s military personnel already have a tough enough job. I am
sure you will agree with me that they should not have to go into harm\'s
way just to avoid the tax man. In light of current and possible future
military operations, as well as the call by some to re-instate the
draft, the need to recruit and retain the voluntary participation of our
nation's sons and daughters in the uniformed services is quite clear.

If you are interested in supporting our military personnel by becoming
an original cosponsor of this bill, please contact Michael Hurt at
5-4636.

How to run Bel2 jobs:

Log into g\*j\*r\*

1\. Create a folder (like "Todays Project"):

/home/Bernie_the_bioinfo_dude/Todays_project

2\. Copy my_seqs_file.fasta into "Todays_project" directory.

3\. Copy the Revered Greengenes set of non-chimeras. Be inside
"Todays_project" folder and issue this command (all on one line):

wget
http://greengenes.lbl.gov/Download/Sequence_Data/Fasta_data_files/current_prokMSA_Revered_Set_unaligned.fasta

4\. Make the fasta files do not have \\r\\n as line breaks. You want \\n
only. Here's a command that will check and clean your files:

perl -i -p -e \'s#\\r\\n#\\n#g\' \*

5\. Here's the command to execute Bel2:

nohup nice /home/desantis/Bel2_workshop/process_one_Bel2_batch.pl
my_seqs_file.fasta current_prokMSA_Revered_Set_unaligned.fasta
keep_files

6\. Wait. Expect about 1 min per sequence. What is happening: A
subdirectory called something like "my_seqs_file.fasta_Workspace" is
created. Your fasta file is copied into it and a link is made to it
called 'c.fasta'. Your fasta file is concatenated with the revered set
and is copied as "ref.fasta". Then a BLAST db is formatted from the
ref.fasta file. Bel2 BLASTs each candidate seq from my_seqs_file.fasta
to find a set of closely-matching seqs. These seqs are aligned with the
candidate using clustalw. Then distance matricies are made from each MSA
window (partial treeing). Variations in distance scores when comparing
windows can be indicative of a chimera. For more details, check out this
presentation from Bel2's author Thomas Huber:

<http://greengenes.lbl.gov/Download/Presentations/BelTalk_JGI2005.ppt>

7\. When Bel2 completes, look in the_Workspace directory to find a file
called something like "my_seqs_file.fasta.chimeras_out".

If a sequence passed you'll see:

\>BANW386.fasta.Contig1 appears to be clean

20261 N.E. 15^th^ Court

Miami, FL 33179

Re: Call Sign: E060143 File No.: SES-LIC-20060420-00692

Dear Mr. Fruitman:

On April 20, 2006, Calhoun Satellite Communications, Inc. (Calhoun)
filed the above-captioned application to operate a temporary-fixed
C-Band transmit-only earth station in the 5925-6425 MHz band that will
communicate with ALSAT-designated satellites. Pursuant to Section
25.112(a)(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(1), we
dismiss the application as defective, without prejudice to refiling.

In accordance with Section 25.277(f) of the Commission's rules, 47
C.F.R. §25.277(f), applications for temporary-fixed earth stations
operating in frequency bands shared co-equally with terrestrial fixed
stations, such as the C-Band, must include either a Frequency
Coordination Report in accordance with Section 25.203 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.203, for its initial location or a
statement by the applicant acknowledging its coordination
responsibilities. In response to Question E18 of Schedule B, Calhoun
incorrectly indicated that coordination was not required and did not
submit a coordination report or an acknowledgement that it must
coordinate the earth station. Therefore, the application is incomplete.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission's rules,
47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission's rules on
delegations of authority, 47 C.F.R. §0.261, we dismiss your application
without prejudice to refiling.[^1]

Sincerely,

Scott A. Kotler

Chief, Systems Analysis Branch

[^1]: If Calhoun refiles an application identical to the one dismissed,
    with the exception of supplying the missing information, it need not
    pay an application fee. *See* 47 C.F.R. §1.1109(d).
