## Developing Gridded Forecast Guidance

## For Warm Season Lightning Over Florida Using

## The Perfect Prognosis Method and Mesoscale Model Output

**Phillip Shafer**

**and**

**Henry Fuelberg**

**Department of Meteorology**

**Florida State University**

Phillip Shafer and Henry Fuelberg will describe the development of a
high-resolution, gridded forecast guidance product for warm season
cloud-to-ground (CG) lightning in Florida. Four warm seasons of analysis
data from the 20-km Rapid Update Cycle (RUC) and lightning data from the
National Lightning Detection Network are used to examine relationships
between observed atmospheric parameters and the spatial and temporal
patterns of CG lightning over Florida. The most important RUC-derived
parameters are then used in a perfect prognosis (PP) technique to
develop equations producing 3-hourly spatial probability forecasts for
one or more CG flashes, as well as the probability of exceeding various
flash count percentile thresholds. They will also evaluate the lightning
forecast scheme when applied to output from three mesoscale models
during an independent test period (the 2006 warm season). The evaluation
is performed using output from NCEP's 13-km RUC, the NCEP 12-km NAM-WRF,
and local runs of WRF for a domain over South Florida that were
initialized with NCEP 1/12^th^ degree sea-surface temperature (SST) data
and local data from WRF-LAPS.

## DATE: November 19, 2002

## TO: VRBPAC Committee Members

## CC: Rakesh Pandey, Ph.D, Douglass Pratt, MD

## RE: Addendum to MedImmune Vaccines Briefing Document

The following are clarifications regarding the definitions of two
effectiveness endpoints for Study AV009.

In Section 4.4 "Effectiveness in Healthy Adults", the definitions of
CDC-ILI and DOD-ILI are in error (last line of page 19 and the first
line of page 20). The following revisions apply:

(1) Revise from: "CDC-ILI was defined as fever and cough or fever and
    sore throat on consecutive days" to "CDC-ILI was defined as fever
    and cough or fever and sore throat on the same day or on consecutive
    days";

(2) Revise from: "DOD-ILI was defined as fever and cough or fever and
    chills on consecutive days to "DOD-ILI was defined as cough and
    fever or cough and chills on the same day or on consecutive days."

The analyses in Tables 8 through 13 in the Briefing Document are correct
per these revised definitions and require no revisions.
**Nano-ordered cell based monitoring devices**

Jore Quijano and Shalini Prasad

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Portland State
University

Understanding cell interaction and behavior in a controlled and in-vitro
micro-environment is essential for developing diagnostic and testing
micro-devices. These devices should have the capability to record the
measurable changes to the cellular physiology due to the micro/nano
scale interactions between the cellular processes and the external
micro-environment. To achieve this it is essential to develop substrates
that are bio-compatible and non-biodegradable. There are three
requirements that need to be satisfied. First, they should demonstrate
scaffolding property namely allow for cell adhesion and directed and
controlled proliferation allowing fort measurement of cellular
morphological changes .Second the cellular changes need to be measured
from the platform in a reliable fashion based on standard electrical
techniques. Third the substrates should allow for simultaneous
visualization of the associated changes to ensure opto-electronic
sensing. This is achieved by using materials with nano order such as
nanotubes, metallic nanowires and nanoporous substrates and integrating
them with standard optical lithography techniques to develop cell based
analysis tools. The electrical signatures for the effect of common
nutrients and antibodies (such as glucose and IgG are demonstrated)

With hulless grains and high unsaturated fatty acids content, naked oat
(*Avena sativa* L. *var nuda*) has a very interesting nutritional value.
To feed racing horses, nutritionist require naked oat with high oil
content to obtain higher level of energy. The objective of this project
was to evaluate the effect of environment and herbicides on the oil
content and fatty acids composition of naked oat. Eight oat lines known
to have different oil content were evaluated during the years 2006 and
2007 in four experimental sites in the province of Quebec, Canada. At
each site, each entry was treated with one of three types of herbicides:
Bromoxynil/MCPA, Dicamba/MCPA and Thifensulfuron methyl/Tribenuron
methyl and compared with a hand weeded check. The herbicides were
applied at the same growth stage (12-13 of Zadoks). The results showed
that the oil content and the fatty acids composition changed with the
years, environment, herbicides and lines. Average oil content was 8.5 %
in 2006 and 9.2 % in 2007. The line with the lowest oil content had 6.9
% while the highest had 11.7 %. The palmitic (C16:0), oleic (C18:1) and
linoleic (C18:2) acids represent more than 95 % of the fatty acids in
naked oat. Myristic (C14:0), stearic (C18:0) and linolenic (C18:3) acids
represent 3.5 %. Palmitoleic, eicosanoic, eicosadienoic,
eicosapentaenoic, behenic, erucic, docosahexaenoic and lignoceric acids
were sometimes present in small amount (\<1 %). The unsaturated fatty
acids, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids, represent on average 80 % of
the composition of the fatty acids in naked oat. We observed a variation
of 5.0 % in unsaturated fatty acids among the eight genotypes. Oleic
acid exhibited the widest variation (11 %) among the eight genotypes.
This was followed in decreasing order by linoleic acid (7 %), palmitic
acid (5 %), linolenic and stearic acids (1 %). The coolest environment
gave both years the highest oil content. The environment had an impact
on the oleic, linoleic, stearic and myristic acids content. The
herbicide by line interaction was significant for oil content and oleic,
palmitic and myristic acids in 2006, but not in 2007. Correlation
analysis showed that oil content was positively correlated with oleic
and stearic acids and negatively with linoleic, linolenic, palmitic and
myristic acids. Oleic acid was negatively correlated with linoleic,
linolenic and palmitic acids. These results indicated that the
environment and herbicides have an impact on oil content and fatty acids
composition in naked oat.
**Statement of Work**

**General description:**

Birth defects affect 5% of all infants born in the United States, and
three-quarters of these involve the head, face, and oral tissues. This
means that in the United States there is a child born every 5 minutes
with a craniofacial defect. While there are several hundred disorders
affecting the face, skull, jaws, and teeth. Other hereditary syndromes,
such as ectodermal dysplasias, are marked by the absence of all or most
teeth in children and adults and lead to lifelong health problems. The
social and economic costs of craniofacial disorders are enormous, and
they place a disproportionately high burden on particular population
subgroups. These disorders are caused by multiple genes interacting with
each other and with environmental factors. Analysis of expression
patterns of developmental stage- and tissue-specific genes in these
tissues is important for identification of genes involved the diseases.
The purpose of the proposed work requirement for this contractor is to
collect gene expression data from developing dental and oral tissues and
analyze them. The objectives are follows:

A. Preparation of tissues and RNA.

Specifically, the contractor shall:

1.  Dissect dental and oral tissues from embryonic wild-type and Epfn
    mutant mice under a regular dissection microscope.

2.  Prepare RNA from tissue samples.

3.  Test the quality of RNA.

B. Analysis.

Specifically, the contractor shall:

1.  Compare gene expression levels in mutant dental and oral tissues of
    both wild-type and Epfn mutant mice using real-time PCR.

2.  Analyze gene profile data obtained from hybridization data using DNA
    microarrays.

C. Period of performance and personnel cost.

The Contractor shall complete the task by January 10, 2008, starting
from November 13, 2007 with a total per diem and travel cost of \$8,000.

**Task Description:**

Firm will issue 4 checks on the following days for the following
amounts:

November 16, 2007 \-- \$2,000

November 30, 2007 \-- \$2,000

December 14, 2007 \-- \$2,000

December 28, 2007 \-- \$2,000

Checks will be issued to Dr. Takashi Nakamura as per diem and travel
expenses during his stay at NIDCR. It is estimated that Dr. Takashi
Nakamura will arrive at NIDCR on November 13, 2007 and will depart on
January 10, 2008. A total of \$8,000.00 shall be paid in 4 payments. The
check should be sent via express mail to the NIDCR, to the attention of
Dr. Yoshihiko Yamada at the following address:

**PENCE INTRODUCES BILL TO GRANT**

**FARMERS GREATER FLEXIBILITY**

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Mike Pence introduced legislation today
that would grant Hoosier farmers greater flexibility in what they choose
to grow in their fields. The Farming Flexibility Act of 2005 (H.R. 2045)
corrects a provision in the 2002 Farm Bill that discourages Hoosier
farmers from growing fruits and vegetables for processing.

**"I was proud to support the 2002 Farm Bill,"** said Pence. **"However,
certain provisions in that bill are discouraging Hoosiers from growing
fruits and vegetables and are costing the taxpayer at the same time.**

**"The Farm Flex Act addresses this problem so farmers don't find their
hands tied when it comes time to choose what to plant in their fields.
The bill also will save taxpayers money in the long run."**

###### [Background]{.underline}

The 2002 Farm Bill included soybeans as a program crop for the first
time. Unfortunately, many in Congress did not fully appreciate how this
change would interact with a provision from the 1996 Freedom to Farm
legislation that places significant restrictions on fruit and vegetable
production on program acres.

As a result of this change, farmers without a history of fruit or
vegetable production face stiff penalties if they choose to grow these
crops. This means that most producers can no longer reduce their
reliance on the farm programs by rotating vegetable production onto
their land.

Pence's measure represents a minor modification to current law, and is
needed to correct the unintended consequences that arose when soybeans
became a program crop. It is narrowly tailored to pertain only to
producers who grow fruits or vegetables for processing under contract.
Also of particular note, the Congressional Budget Office has determined
that the measure will save \$23 million over ten years.

**Questions for the**

**Dietary Supplement Subcommittee**

**March 25, 2003**

**Question 1:** Number range CHAPTERIs it possible to identify
particular scientific criteria, principles, or conventions that enable a
determination to be made about when a substance is or is not a
metabolite of another dietary ingredient?[^1]

**Question 2:** Consider and discuss the scientific strengths and
weaknesses of the following concepts with respect to their usefulness in
identifying whether a substance is or is not a metabolite of another
dietary ingredient:

a.  Direct or indirect participation in catabolic and/or anabolic
    sequences or pathways;

b.  Proximity (i.e., in terms of number of enzymatic steps away) to
    another dietary ingredient;

c.  Semblance to another dietary ingredient preceding it in a pathway or
    preceding reaction with respect to:

    i.  Function

    ii. Structure

    iii. Combination of both

d.  Possessing qualities or similarities to another dietary ingredient
    relative to:

    i.  Speed/time (i.e. clock-time conversion, enzymatic reaction
        rates, retention rates or impact on equilibrium
        concentrations/homeostasis)

    ii. Compartmentalization (e.g., intracellular vs. extracellular
        activity; intracellular compartmentalization)

    iii. Fate (i.e. final conversion, excretion or end-product retention
         by the body)

**Question 3:** Discuss the scientific validity and likely usefulness
for identifying when a substance is or is not a "metabolite" of another
dietary ingredient. If so, what characteristic(s) associated with the
criterion make(s) it valid or useful?

[^1]: For present purposes, "another dietary ingredient" means a
    vitamin, mineral, herb or other botanical, amino acid, or dietary
    substance for use by man to supplement the diet by increasing the
    total dietary intake.
**§3.357 Civil service preference ratings.**

For the purpose of certifying civil service disability preference only,
a service-connected disability may be assigned an evaluation of "less
than ten percent." Any directly or presumptively service-connected
disease or injury which exhibits some extent of actual impairment may be
held to exist at the level of less than ten percent. For disabilities
incurred in combat, however, no actual impairment is required.

**"Environmental Flows: Water for People and Nature in the Southeastern
U.S."**

**October 27-29, 2008**

**Classic Center, Athens, Georgia.**

Increasing demands for offstream water use and recent droughts have
emphasized the need for establishing sustainable water use policies
within the southeastern U.S. In 2006, a working group of hydrologists,
ecologists, engineers, and water policy and management experts formed
the Southeastern Environmental Flows Partnership (SEEFP). The focus of
the partnership is to gain needed perspectives regarding the
sustainability of water supplies, restoring and protecting water quality
and aquatic habitat, and providing information to planners and
policy-makers. SEEFP is organizing an environmental flows conference
with the theme of 'developing a dialog for balancing human and
environmental needs for water in a rapidly changing region'. The
conference will have keynote sessions discussing: 'Global Perspectives
on Water Issues', 'Demographic Forces Affecting the Southeast', 'The
Science of Environmental Flows', and 'Policy Issues Related to
Environmental Flows'. Contributed sessions include: policy and economics
of environmental flows, environmental flows and stream health, data and
modeling needs, public and stakeholder involvement, and growth
management and environmental flows. To submit an abstract or learn more

### *Hay que procurar las comidas de nuestros antepasados para ser mas sanos.*

### *Propósito*

Confirmar la presencia de hierro en el cereal TOTAL.

## *Experimento para conducir*

1.  Agrega cereal TOTAL a una taza de plastico hasta un nivel de
    aproximadamente 2/3 del volumen.

2.  Machuca el cereal completamente usando una orilla de rodillo para
    hacer tortillas. Ya que los resultados son mas obvios cuando el
    cereal está bien polvorizado, asegurate de machucarlo completamente.

3.  Agrega agua a la taza hasta que la revoltura llegue al nivel de 2/3
    partes de la taza.

4.  Pega un imán a un palillo usando cinta adhesiva y usalo para menear
    la revoltura algunos 2 minutos, agregando mas agua si se pone muy
    espesa la revoltura.

5.  Saca el imán de la taza, enjuagalo rociandolo con la botella de agua
    hasta que se quite todo el el

> polvo del cereal. ¿Que es lo que queda pegado al imán?

6.  Cuando termines el experimento, limpia el imán con una toalla de
    papel, vacia la revoltura en el recipiente indicado, lava tu taza y
    devuelvela a tu maestra.

### *Preguntas para considerar*

1.  ¿Esperabas ver metal de hierro en el cereal? ¿Porque o porque no?

2.  ¿Crees tú que sea buena idea poner el metal de hierro en tu cereal?
    ¿Como el metal no se disuelve en agua, se puede esperar que el
    cuerpo lo absuerva al comerlo? ¿Será tan bueno como el hierro que se
    encuentra en los frijoles? Quizás este hierro nomas entra y sale y
    no nos provee el mismo beneficio que el hierro que se encuentra en
    los frijoles. ¿Que piensas tú? Sabemos que el hierro se disuelve en
    acido de fuerza intermedia, pero se toma varios dias. ¿Estará
    suficiente tiempo el cereal en nuestro estómago, en los áccidos
    gástricos, para poderse disolver y ser absorbido por el cuerpo?
    Sería buena idea repetir este experimento usando los frijoles que
    coce tu abuelita.

### 

### 

### 

### 

### 

### 

### *Una explicación*

Datos al lado de la caja de el cereal TOTAL indican que una onza (3/4 de
taza) nos proveen 100% del hierro que necesitamos según las
recomendaciones del govierno de los Estados Unidos(U.S. RDA). Hay gente
que toma hierro suplemental en la forma de sulfato de hierro, FeSO~4~.
Sinembargo, el FeSO~4~ acelera el enranciamiento del cereal, cosa que no
favorece a los fabricantes del cereal. Por lo tanto, añaden el hierro en
forma de metal. Lo que tú colectaste en el imán es el hierro que añadió
el fabricante. En realidad, este hierro existe en forma tan fina que sí
logra disolverse en los ácidos de tu estomago y así ser benéfico para tu
cuerpo. Para comparar, tendrías que tomar ese hierro en polvo, antes de
aglomerarlo con el imán y conducir un experimento con ácido para ver
cuanto se disuelve en un dia. Se sabe que granos como el maíz contienen
acido phítico, el cual interfiere con la absorpción del hierro, causando
situaciones anémicas. ¿Crees tú que los fabricantes añaden hierro extra
para prevenir este problema?

Keep up the good presentations till the IRS and the present tax code are
abolished. The multi volume tax code is an abomination. In 1913 those
who wrote the original legislations had no idea the income tax and the
IRS would grow into the present bureaucratic dinosaur. A fair tax code
of one our possibly two pages is needed. All would pay taxes even those
on government dole. Their one dollar a year tax would remind them we are
all in this together. No loop holes, no tax avoidance plans or schemes
should be the foundation of the fair tax plan. Keep the politics out of
the process. Devise the most simple, clear cut tax code possible. Stop
government spending, write only balanced budgets and pay down the debt.
Eliminate government waste and the top tax rate (if done on a graduated
scale) would allow for a rate no greater than 25% and more likely a rate
of 15%.

SUBJECT : Second Reallotment for the Basic Support Program -- FY 2000

CONTENT : Attached is your grant award for the second reallotment for
the Basic Support Program, if your agency requested or relinquished
funds during this reallotment.

A total of \$9,884,245 was made available for reallotment. These amounts
are as follows:

### Wyoming \$25,000

> Louisiana [9,859,245]{.underline}

#### Total \$9,884,245

Additionally, \$776,038 in Maintenance of Effort penalties was
distributed through the reallotment process.

# A decision was made to distribute funds in the second reallotment initially to those states, which in their FY 2000 annual allotments received an amount less than their FY 1999 allotments. Funds provided during the first allotment had only provided partial relief to those States. Therefore, of the 10,660,283 reallocated to States during the second reallotment, \$4,528,956 was first distributed to these six States.

Switchgrass has been planted at The University of Tennessee's Milan
Experiment Station located in west Tennessee. Four different soil and
physiographic positions were chosen to represent the main soils in the
area. These soils were located on: 1.) a level floodplain that was well
to moderately well drained, 2.) a level floodplain that was poorly to
somewhat poorly drained, 3.) an upland sloping hillside that had a
naturally occurring hardpan, and 4.) an upland level that was well
drained with no hardpan. These situations represent a wide range of
expected switchgrass productivity levels.

A seeding rate experiment is conducted on the four landscapes. The
productivity of each landscape-seeding rate combination will be
evaluated. In the second year, a nitrogen fertilization study will be
superimposed upon the seeding rate experiment. Four nitrogen fertilizer
rates will be applied to each seeding rate. The purpose of the study is
to determine optimum seeding and fertilization rates for each soil and
landscape position.

In an adjacent area on each field, a comparison is being made of the
commonly planted variety of switchgrass to three other new hybrid
varieties, two from the breeding program in Georgia and one from the
program in Oklahoma. Preliminary testing has indicated that these new
varieties have considerably higher yield potential as compared to the
common variety. Initial year yield data for the soil/landscape and
seeding rates will be reported along with information on trials and
tribulations of growing switchgrass. These data will be useful in
variety selection by producers and the potential commercialization by
seed companies supplying switchgrass seed. These two studies were
formulated after careful review of existing knowledge on switchgrass
production to determine the key questions remaining.

Subject: Medicare Program; Prospective Payment System and Consolidated
Billing for Skilled Nursing Facilities for FY 2009; Proposed Rule,
**File Code: CMS-1534-P**

Dear Mr. Weems:

I appreciate the opportunity to comment upon the Centers for Medicare
and Medicaid Services' (CMS's) proposed rule (CMS-1534-P) regarding the
Skilled Nursing Facility (SNF) Prospective Payment System (PPS) for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2009.

**Case Mix Adjustments**

The proposed PPS includes a provision to revise the case mix weights in
a manner that will reduce payments by \$770 million nationally (a
reduction of 3.3%). The impact to our facility from this specific
provision is \$160,000.

Our organization strongly opposes the proposed reduction in the case mix
weights. This reduction comes at a time when input costs such as the
costs of skilled personnel, medications, food, gas and electricity, and
other resources to meet our residents' needs are skyrocketing. Further,
with nearly two out of every three not-for-profit SNFs in New York State
incurring losses at the operating level, there is little room to absorb
the magnitude of the proposed cuts while still providing high quality
services.

Also, note that CMS has proposed to make major changes to the SNF PPS in
the next fiscal year (FY 2010) such as replacing Minimum Data Set (MDS)
2.0 with MDS 3.0, including data from the STRIVE nursing home staff time
study, and introducing a new RUG-IV case mix system. Therefore, any
refinements to the case mix index, at the very least, must be deferred
to the next fiscal year.

For our organization to meet CMS' objective of quality services, we must
receive fair and adequate reimbursement. I am therefore urging you not
to implement in the CMS final rule the proposed reductions in the case
mix weights. This will ensure that our organization has the staff and
resources to continue to provide the quality of care that our residents
deserve.

Sincerely,

Lisa Garcia

# ERRATUM

**Adopted July 12, 2001 Released July 13, 2001**

By the Chief, Satellite and Radiocommunication Division:

This erratum corrects the order modifying Hughes' license to include
authority for links with earth stations in foreign countries, *Hughes
Communications Galaxy, Inc.*, DA 01-1457, released June 19, 2001. The
order incorrectly required Hughes to coordinate with licensees of
non-geostationary systems regarding operation in the 27.5-28.35 GHz band
and incorrectly required it to coordinate proposed operation in the
17.7-18.3 GHz band only with licensees of systems already operating in
that band.[^1] We are therefore amending the third sub-paragraph in
Paragraph 3 of Order and Authorization DA 01-1457 to read as follows:

-   When requesting international coordination of proposed use of
    frequencies in the 17.7-18.3 GHz band for downlinks to earth
    stations in foreign countries, Hughes shall certify in an affidavit
    filed with the Commission's Satellite and Radiocommunication
    Division that it has coordinated the proposed operation with other
    licensees with authority from this Commission for non-U.S.
    geostationary or non-geostationary satellite operation in that band.
    When requesting international coordination of proposed use of
    frequencies in the 27.5-28.35 GHz band for links with earth stations
    in foreign countries, Hughes shall certify that it has coordinated
    the proposed operation with other licensees with authority from the
    Commission for non-U.S. geostationary satellite operation in that
    band. The filing shall include certification of service on the
    licensees with whom such coordination is required.

**Released: August 6, 2003**

**NOTICE OF REMOVAL OF DOMESTIC SECTION 214 APPLICATION FROM STREAMLINED
TREATMENT**

**WC Docket No. 03-150**

The application listed in this notice has been removed from streamlined
treatment pursuant to the Commission's streamlined procedures for
domestic section 214 transfer of control applications.[^1] Section
63.03(c)(5) of the Commission's rules provides that at any time after an
application is filed, the Commission, acting through the Chief of the
Wireline Competition Bureau, may notify an applicant that its
application is being removed from streamlined processing, where the
Commission "determines that the application requires further analysis to
determine whether a proposed transfer of control would serve the public
interest."[^2]

On July 7, 2003, the Commission released a public notice accepting for
streamlined processing a domestic section 214 application involving the
acquisition of assets of Touch America, Inc. by 360networks (USA),
Inc.[^3] On July 18, 2003, the parties filed with the Commission a
section 310(b)(4) petition for declaratory ruling and a wireless
application wherein 360networks seeks to acquire 94 common carrier
microwave stations and 25 local multipoint distribution service licenses
from Touch America pursuant to an asset purchase agreement between the
parties.[^4] This application is being removed from streamlined review
because the Commission will not have completed its section 310(b)(4)
foreign ownership review in connection with the proposed transaction
before the date that this application would be deemed granted under the
Commission's streamlining rules.[^5] Final action on the application
should be expected no later than 180 days from public notice that the
application was accepted for filing.[^6]
