Project Title: Microstructural Evaluation of Advanced Materials

Materials are the building blocks for NASA spaced exploration. When a
material is furnished it undergoes destructive and non-destructive tests
to determine its tolerance threshold. In order to fully characterize,
and understand how these tests may deform an alloy, a polymer, or even a
ceramic, microstructural analysis should be conducted. The materials
under investigation are Kevlar, and graphite fiber composite. Kevlar
fibers are employed as lining on titanium tanks on board the
International Space Station. The tanks have an expected life span.
However, they are failing below this level. Investigators are trying to
determine whether the tanks were over crept before use. This project
looks at one aspect of this investigation. It will highlight the
microstructure of Kevlar fibers that were ruptured and as received
samples for comparison purposes. Another material under the microscope
is graphite fiber composite. It is a proposed material for the new crew
exploration vehicle. It was immersed in a ruptured environment. This
project will focus on the microstructure of these materials and how the
testing environments have resulted in changes to chemistry.
The President\'s Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform

1440 New York Avenue NW Suite 2100

Washington, DC 20220

March 31, 2005

Dear President Bush and other panel members:

I am a full time MD in Oregon in a long term same sex domestic
partnership with another woman. We were married in Oregon but
unfortunately that marriage is not recognised by the federal or state
government in terms of taxation. My company offers domestic partner
bennefits so fortunately I have access to health insurance for my
partner. Unfortunately, unlike the married male physicains I work with,
I am not able to pay for my partners

health insurance with pretax dollars. Additionally I am taxed at a
higher

bracket then they are becase they file as married. My \"wife\" stays at
home, like the majority of my male partner\'s wives, and has little
earning potential on her own. If I were to die, she would not have
access to my social securtiy nor would she be able to roll my IRA over
to her account. This is unfair. I have paid into social security taxes
for years just like everyone else and my life partner should have access
to my social security as she is dependant on my income. Please take
steps to correct these inequities in our tax system to protect all
citizens.

Sincerely ,

Stephanie L Jackson MD

The Kansas DOE EPSCoR Program

T. Bolton (Kansas DOE EPSCoR Project Director)

Abstract Number: **96**

The Kansas DOE-EPSCoR program currently consists of two parts: a
two-cluster research implementation initiative devoted to developing
advanced semiconductor devices
([KASP](http://www.phys.ksu.edu/doeepscor/kasp.htm)), and the [DOE
National Laboratory
Partnership](http://www.phys.ksu.edu/doeepscor/partner.htm) program
which partners Kansas researchers with peers in the DOE national
laboratory system. Kansas DOE-EPSCoR is administered by a [state
director](http://www.phys.ksu.edu/doeepscor/admin.htm) who reports to
the Vice President for Academic Affairs at [KTEC](http://www.ktec.com/),
the Kansas Technology Enterprise Corporation.  The federal-state
partnership embodied in EPSCoR represents one of its great strengths and
is a boon to Kansas research and development.

The first KASP clusters, headed by Alice Bean of the University of
Kansas, aims to perform research and development resulting in an
upgraded silicon microstrip tracker (SMT) for high luminosity running of
the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron proton-antiproton collider. The
second cluster specializes in development of commercializable gallium
nitride(GaN) opto-electronic devices and is headed by Hongxing Jiang at
Kansas State University(KSU). Both groups strive to incorporate
undergraduates into their research efforts and have made excellent
progress on this front.

# 

The SMT cluster met key objectives in human resources development and
instrumentation acquisition this year. The KU group completed a faculty
hire in high energy physics supported in part by implementation award
funds and also hired a research associate. The KSU group acquired the
semi-automatic probe station specified in the KASP proposal, and the KU
group acquired a manual wire bonder. EPSCoR support allowed a united
KSU/KU front on the D0 SMT upgrade project. Bean was selected by the D0
collaboration to be lead principal investigator on an NSF Major Research
Instrumentation proposal to fund the SMT upgrade, and K-State's Regina
Demina serves as co-leader of the D0 Run 2b upgrade study group. The two
groups also jointly applied for, and received, admission to the CMS
detector project at the CERN LHC collider.

The GaN clusters main goal is the acquisition of a commercial metal
oxide chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) machine for preparation of
full-sized GaN wafers that can be developed for commercial applications.
The group achieved this goal, leveraging DOE-EPSCoR money with funds
from KSU and other sources, including a substantial industry
contribution, to purchase a Thomas Swan Scientific Equipment Ltd. 2"
CCS-MOCVD. Delivery is expect at the end of 2001.

Kansas researchers have engaged vigorously in the lab partnership
program. Five investigators have received awards to date, and interest
in next year's solicitation for new proposals is very high. KTEC has
supported all partnership proposals with hard-dollar state matching
money, and is committed to continuing this support.
**§4.24 Correspondence.**

All correspondence relative to the interpretation of the schedule for
rating disabilities, requests for advisory opinions, questions regarding
lack of clarity or application to individual cases involving unusual
difficulties, will be addressed to the Director, Compensation and
Pension Service. A clear statement will be made of the point or points
upon which information is desired and the complete case file will be
simultaneously forwarded to Central Office. Rating agencies will assure
themselves that the recent report of physical examination presents an
adequate picture of the claimant's condition. Claims in regard to which
the schedule evaluations are considered inadequate or excessive, and
errors in the schedule will be similarly brought to attention.

**§3.1007 Hospitalized incompetent veterans.**

Where an award of disability pension for an incompetent veteran without
dependents was reduced under §3.551(b) because of hospitalization,
institutional or domiciliary care by the Department of Veterans Affairs,
or an award of disability pension, compensation or emergency officers'
retirement pay was discontinued under former §3.557(b) (as applicable
prior to December 27, 2001) because the veteran was hospitalized by the
United States or a political subdivision and had an estate which equaled
or exceeded the statutory maximum, and the veteran dies before payment
of amounts withheld or not paid by reason of such care, no part of such
amount will be paid to any person. The provisions of this section are
applicable to amounts withheld for periods prior to as well as
subsequent to the rating of incompetency. The term "dies before payment"
includes cases in which a check was issued and the veteran died before
negotiating the check. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 5503)

This comment is in reference to the Standards Improvement Project, Phase
III (OSHA docket number S-778B), which is intended to improve and
streamline OSHA standards by removing or revising individual
requirements within rules

that are confusing, outdated, duplicative, or inconsistent.

The Mechanical Power Press Standard includes a requirement to report
injuries in writing to OSHA within 30 days of the injury
(1910.217(g)(1)). This requirement is inconsistent with the OSHA
recordkeeping and reporting standard found in Part 1904, Recording and
Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illness. According to Part 1904,
workplace injuries are required to be recorded on OSHA's Form 300, Log
of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses. Injuries are required to be
reported directly to OSHA at the time of the injury only when the
accident results in a fatality or multiple hospitalizations. This is
true for every type of workplace injury with the exception of those
sustained while working on a mechanical power press. Mechanical power
press injuries require an additional written report to OSHA.

The injury reporting requirement found in the Mechanical Power Press
Standard is inconsistent with general OSHA recordkeeping and reporting
requirements. OSHA communications pertaining to recordkeeping and
reporting requirements that do not specifically reference this
exceptional and unique mechanical power press injury reporting
requirement would tend to cause non-compliance if an employer relied on
them. Please refer, for example, to the ***OSHA Recordkeeping
Handbook*** meant by OSHA to cover "The Regulation and Related
Interpretations for Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and
Illnesses" (<http://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping/index.html>). Also refer
to OSHA's ***Recordkeeping Policies and Procedures Manual*** (CPL
02-00-135). Neither the handbook nor the manual reference the injury
reporting requirement found in the mechanical power press standard and
therefore could lead an employer to believe that submittal of a written
injury report is not required.

I ask OSHA to consider deleting the injury reporting requirement found
in the Mechanical Power Press standard. If OSHA does not act to delete
this requirement, it would seem appropriate for OSHA to revise Part 104
and all guidance documents that communicate information about OSHA
injury recording and reporting requirements to include the unique
reporting requirement for mechanical power press injuries.
# WASTE TREATMENT LAGOON

## PRACTICE INTRODUCTION

**USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service―Practice Code 359**

### WASTE TREATMENT LAGOON![](media/image1.png){width="5.978472222222222in" height="3.6972222222222224in"}

A waste treatment lagoon is an impoundment made by excavation or earth
fill to provide storage for biological treatment of animal or other
agriculture waste.

### PRACTICE INFORMATION

The purpose of this practice is to store and biologically treat organic
waste, reduce pollution, and protect water quality.

The three general types of waste treatment lagoons are:

-   Anaerobic―require less surface area than naturally aerobic lagoons,
    but may give off offensive odors

-   Naturally aerobic―require more surface area, but are relatively odor
    free

-   Mechanically aerated―comparable in size to anaerobic lagoons, but
    require energy for aeration

Waste treatment lagoons are located as near the source of waste as
possible but as far from human dwellings as possible. The location
should also be where prevailing winds will carry odors away from
residences and public areas.

To improve efficiency and reduce sludge buildup, solids should be
removed from the waste before it enters the lagoon. A solids trap or
separator should be installed between the waste source and the lagoon.

### COMMON ASSOCIATED PRACTICES

Waste Treatment Lagoon is commonly used in a Conservation Management
System with practices such as Solid/Liquid Waste Separation Facility
(632), Waste Utilization (6330, and Nutrient Management (590).

For further information, refer to the practice standard in the local
Field Office Technical Guide and associated specifications and job
sheets.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FEBRUARY 22, 1977

ORIENTAL COIN DISPLAY AT THE DENVER MINT

An extraordinary collection of Oriental coins, some more than 1,000
years old, has been placed on public display at the United States Mint
at Denver, Colorado, Acting Director of the Mint Frank H. MacDonald
announced today.

According to Betty Higby, Superintendent of the Denver Mint, the
collection of

7,320 coins, mounted by artist Kimpo Hanaya in two spectacular abstract
arrangements, is on loan to the Denver Mint from the City and County of
Denver.

It is a gift from Japan to the people of Denver and was presented in
celebration of Colorado's Centennial and America's Bicentennial as an
expression of international exchange and good will. The collection first
went on public display in the Oriental Gallery of the Denver Art Museum
on November 19, 1975.

The larger display of coins measures nine feet wide by seven feet tall,
weighs 800 pounds, and contains 7,177 coins (each hand polished) from a
variety of Far Eastern countries. The coins, of different metals, sizes,
shapes, and eras of history, as well as charms and amulets, are
artistically arranged in variations of a "sunburst" pattern. The entire
collection is set against red velvet and surrounded by a 12-inch wide,
hand-carved cherrywood frame. The smaller display, also framed in
hand-carved cherrywood, is a sampling of currency used in Japan spanning
approximately 1,300 years and is broadly divided into the following four
eras: The Imperial Coin Era, 683 A.D.-958 A.D.; The Coin Importing Era,
958 A.D.-1601 A.D.; The Tokugawa Coin System Era, 1601 A.D.-1868 A.D.;
and the Modern Coin Era, 1871 A.D. to the present time.

The ancient pieces were often valued in terms of rice and years of
living. As an example, according to one translation, in 729 A.D. 10
"mon" was worth 15 kilograms of rice or enough to feed a man for a
month. The "Esen," or picture coins, were inscribed with traditional
sayings and often used as charms and amulets.

(over)

This unique collection of coins can be seen at the Denver Mint, 320 West
Colfax Avenue, Denver, Colorado, during tour hours which are 9:00 a.m.
to 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except
holidays. Summer tour hours, which usually are from June through Labor
Day, are 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.
The tour information number is (303) 837-3582. The visitors' entrance is
on Cherokee Street between Colfax Avenue and Fourteenth Avenue.

MEMORANDUM FOR: All Units

FROM: DCP

SUBJECT: Integrated Leadership Program (ILP) Update

1.  I am pleased to announce that 2Lt Brandy Kown has been selected as
    the Project Officer / Commander of Nevada Wing's first ILP event.
    Our combined Airman Training School (ATS) & Non-Commissioned Officer
    (NCO) School will be held at Nellis Air Force Base during Memorial
    Day weekend. Lt. Kown will be requesting cadets and senior members
    interested in working on staff to apply soon. This is your
    'heads-up' that additional help will be needed.

2.  For those unfamiliar with the concept of the ILP, let me explain
    just a little. The ILP is a continuous training program for cadets
    of all levels. There are six different courses ranging from Basic
    Cadet School to Advanced Cadet Staff Seminar (Earhart cadets and
    up). The Airman Leadership School, the second course, is an
    excellent 'prep' for cadets going to encampment for the first time.
    As California has been using an ILP structure for over 20 years, you
    can be assured that the summer encampment will be following this
    model. Any cadet that wants a 'leg up' on others basic encampment
    participants is encouraged to attend our ALS.

3.  More information will be sent to all units soon. Lt. Kown will need
    the support from all units to make this endeavor successful. Please
    assist her in promoting and supporting this event. I look forward to
    seeing our first class of graduates from Nevada's own ILP!

Hopeton research continues in 2005 -- Archeologists, geophysicists and
geo-archeologists plan to continue research at the Hopeton Earthworks in
2005. Fieldwork is tentatively scheduled for June, with students from
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln expected to participate. The focus of
the June fieldwork will be additional study of a building on the west
side of the large rectangular enclosure at Hopeton. Three walls of this
building were partially exposed by previous investigations. Visits to
the site to view the excavations may be arranged by contacting Hopewell
Culture National Historical Park.

Seip. Excavations under the direction of Raymond Baby in the 1970s
produced evidence of structures that may been built to shelter craft
specialists engaged in making objects for Hopewell rituals. The 2005
project is designed to evaluate whether these structures were workshops.
Dr. Spielmann will be assisted by students from Arizona State University
as part of a field school in archeological methods and research
strategies.

Research at High Bank continues in 2005 - Archaeologists from the

Cleveland Museum of Natural History, including Dr. N'omi Greber and a
Kirtlandia Society Intern, plan to be at the site in June. Several types
of geophysical instruments will be used to confirm the location and
character of an anomaly found between two wall segments of the Octagon
last season. Additional surveys to compare the apparent difference in
the magnetic maps of the Great Circle walls and those of the Octagon
will be added as time allows.

Lecture Series -- Hopewell Culture National Historical Park is making
plans for its annual summer lecture series. Lectures will be given on
Thursday evenings at 7:30 pm during the month of June. Contact the park
to receive more information. These lectures are free to the public and
have been very well attended in recent years.

Geophysics Workshop -- The National Park Service will be offering its
annual workshop on geophysical prospection methods in Chillicothe, Ohio
from May 16-20, 2005. The workshop is titled Current Archeological
Prospection Advances for Non-Destructive Investigations in the 21^st^
Century is an excellent opportunity to learn how the latest methods in
geophysical research are being used in archeological research,
particularly the study of mounds and earthworks. Information about the
workshop is available at (website).

The Midwest Archeological Conference will be held in Dayton, Ohio,
October 20-23, 2005. Dr. Robert Riordan, Wright State University, and
Lynn Simonelli and William Kennedy, Dayton Society of Natural History
are conference organizers.

**Project Abstract:**

The Illinois Department on Aging will offer consumer direction statewide
to Illinois seniors by March 2009. The proposed program will expand the
existing Illinois My Choices/ Cash and Counseling demonstration project
to include flexible state and Older Americans Act Title III funds, and
develop a new methodology for targeting older individuals at-risk of
Medicaid spend down to prevent premature nursing home placement. As one
of few states contributing more than \$300 million to cover Home and
Community-Based Waiver Services beyond the Medicaid eligible population,
Illinois is in a unique position to respond to this funding opportunity.

Partners in the My Choices program will include the Northeastern IL Area
Agency on Aging in Kankakee, the Central IL Agency on Aging in
Bloomington, the East Central IL Area Agency on Aging in Peoria, and the
Southwestern Illinois Area Agency on Aging in Belleville. The Health and
Medicine Policy Research Group in Chicago will evaluate the program, and
the Illinois Public Health Association will provide ongoing assistance
and training for case managers.

The Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA) administers the Community Care
Program (CCP) which was established in 1979 and became a state
entitlement by a federal court consent decree in 1983. The program
provides home and community-based services to frail elderly age 60 and
older who meet nursing home eligibility requirements. During state
fiscal year 2007, the CCP provided services to more than 60,500 frail
elderly thereby successfully diverting or delaying those individuals
from nursing home placement. The proposed project will serve an
additional 300 seniors through consumer direction.

THE TWENTY-FOURTH MEETING OF THE

**INFORMAL PACIFIC ATC CO-ORDINATING GROUP**

**(IPACG/24)**

(Honolulu, USA, 23-27 January 2006)

Agenda Item 2: **Air Traffic Management (ATM) Issues**

**CROSS-POLAR AND RUSSIAN TRANS-EAST ATS ROUTES**

**SPECIAL COORDINATION MEETING (SCM) POLAR &**

**RUSSIAN TRANS-EAST (RTE)**

(Presented by the Federal Aviation Administration)

[SUMMARY]{.underline}

This information paper provides a status update on the Russian American
Coordinating Group for Air Traffic Control (RACGAT).

**1. Background**

1.1 At the request of the Russian Federation and the International Air
Transport Association (IATA) the International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) Asia Pacific Regional Office hosted a Special
Coordinating Meeting (SCM) on Cross-Polar and Russian Trans-East (RTE)
Routes on 15-16 November 2005. Full minutes of the meeting are available
on the ICAO website at [www.icao.int](http://www.icao.int/) under
Regional meetings.

2.  The most recent meeting of the ICAO Air Traffic Services (ATS)
    Coordinating Group -- China, Mongolia, Russian Federation, IATA
    (CMRI/4) was held in Shenzen, China in March 2003 and the last
    RACGAT meeting (RACGAT/13) was held in Vladivostok, Russia in
    October 2003. The parties share a concern over multilateral planning
    activities for this region as most issues are addressed at these
    meetings.

**2. Discussion**

2.1 Traffic on the cross polar route structure has increased
significantly in the past two years. This increase, coupled with
increasing fuel costs, caused the Russian Federation and IATA to request
this meeting to review ATS capabilities supporting city pairs serving
North America and Southeast Asia.

2.2 The Russian Federation has established the Federal Air Navigation
Authority, which will have the management responsibility for Russian
airspace and ATS. Restructuring and implementation activities for the
new organization are currently underway. Within Russian airspace this
will result in changes to airspace delegation between facilities, and
should promote more rapid implementation of service improvements such as
reduced vertical separation minimum (RVSM), air ground communications,
and 24 hour service availability in the polar regions. Because of the
effort involved to implement this new organization, Russia will not be
able to support a RACGAT meeting in the near term, however they were
able to commit to continued coordination with the FAA on flow management
and procedural issues associated with the polar region.

**3. Recommendation**

3.1 The meeting is invited to note the information in this paper and to
refer to the ICAO website for additional information on this subject.
Statement of Work

Methylmalonic Acidemia

6/17-6/19

NHGRI and the Office of Rare Diseases are planning a workshop that is to
be held at the NIH Stone House that will deal with the primary disease
called Methylmalonic Acidemia. We are requesting the following support
for this workshop.

1-Provide travel support for 20-25 domestic participants and 2 foreign
participants- one from Canada and another from England. This support
will include contacting participants to verify whether they require
airline tickets and provide ticket assistance and arrangements to those
still needing this to be done. Provide reimbursement to travelers who
have already purchased coach class tickets in advance. Provide per diem
support to all travelers for all travel days in the amount of \$38.25.
Provide full per diem support for those individuals staying over on
6/18/07. Provide for all allowable local travel reimbursement to all
participants that will occur here in Bethesda and also in their home
cities or departure sites.

We anticipate that all of these participants will be traveling on
6/17/07 with most return flights being done on 6/19/07.

I doubt 25 domestic participants will need to be traveled here. Some may
be local -- from the Baltimore and DC area.

2-We are securing 25 single rooms for each night at the government rate
for the nights of 6/17/07 -- 6/18/05 with the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda.
Any unused rooms will be cancelled upon receiving information gathered
from participants on their scheduling needs. Provide reimbursement to
the Hyatt for the normal overnight accommodations needed for these
participants. We are only authorizing the government rate fee and tax
charges only-no reimbursement for any other charges.

3-Contact the caterers selected by the Lawton Chiles International Stone
House that is requested for providing am and pm breaks on 6/18/07 and
the am break on 6/19/07 and make payment reimbursement for these needed
functions.
