Abstract:

Over the last decade or more, contradictory evidence of Martian
climate - indicating that surface temperatures seldom if ever approach
the melting point of water at midlatitudes - and geomorphic features -
consistent with liquid flows at these same latitudes - have proven
difficult to reconcile.  In this talk I discuss evidence that several
features of liquid-erosional flows can be produced by dry granular
materials when individual particle settling is slower than
characteristic debris flow speeds.  Since the gravitational acceleration
on Mars is about 1/3 that on Earth, and since particle settling speeds
scale with gravity, I propose that some (though perhaps not all) Martian
geomorphological features attributed to liquid flows may in fact be
associated with dry granular flows in the presence of reduced gravity.

**EFFECTS OF TWO HYDROPOWER PLANTS ON THE AQUATIC MACROINVERTEBRATE
FAUNA IN SAN CARLOS, COSTA RICA.** [A. C. Olivas1]{.underline}, M.
Springer\*2, Ripon College1, Department of Environmental Studies, Ripon,
WI 54971,University of Costa Rica2, San Jose, Costa Rica,
byronc@ripon.edu

The influence of two hydropower plants on the aquatic macroinvertebrate
fauna was studied in the Caño Grande and the Rio Toro watershed in San
Carlos, Costa Rica. Specifically, the impact of the dam and outflow on
the diversity, abundance and composition of the macroinvertebrate fauna
was determined. Samples were collected using a Dip Net, and the
macroinvertebrates were identified to genus. In all cases, there was a
higher taxa richness and abundance of individuals above the dam than
below. In the Caño Grande, a higher abundance of individuals was found
before the outflow than below, but a higher taxa richness below than
above. For the Caño Grande, the numbers of the orders of Trichoptera,
Hemiptera and Diptera decreased after the outflow while the numbers of
Ephemeroptera, and Coleoptera increased. For both the dam in the Caño
Grande and the dams sampled in the Toro watershed, there was always a
decrease in the numbers of Trichoptera and Ephemeroptera below the dam,
while other trends include an increase in Diptera below the dams. This
study showed that below the dams sampled there was a decrease in the
abundance and taxa richness of aquatic macroinvertebrate insects, in
most cases an increase in orders that can tolerate high adversity in
their environment, and also in most cases a decrease in water quality
according to the BMWP\`-CR index. Although more studies are needed in
order to fully gauge the impacts of hydropower plants, this study shows
some of the known negative impacts and provides support for the
increased evaluation and implementation of other alternative energies.

#### Housing Loan Limits on the Rise

**Lexington, KY---March 5, 2003---USDA Rural Development increases
maximum loan limits for the Direct Home ownership Program effective**

**March 24, 2003. State Director Kenneth Slone said, "The current loan
limits, which have been in effect since January 1998, are being
increased to compensate for the increased costs of housing. The new loan
limits were determined based on residential cost data, plus the cost of
a developed site, and represent the maximum value of property Rural
Development will finance in a given locality."**

**The new loan limit for the following counties is \$122,600:**

**All other eligible counties in the State will have a limit of
\$111,500.**

**"These new limits represent a substantial increase and will have a
very positive impact on new construction for the Direct Homeownership
Program, said Slone. "The Guaranteed Home ownership Program will not be
affected by this change."**

**Home ownership loans may be used to buy, build, improve, repair, or
rehabilitate homes and to provide adequate water and waste disposal
systems.**

subject: **RHIC Experiment Shielding Working Group -- Motivation and
Charge**

[Motivation]{.underline}:

Problems encountered with backgrounds from RHIC beam losses during all
phases of operation have seriously impacted not only the experiments
ability to collect physics data but also RHIC beam tune-up. This working
group is tasked to examine how such problems can be avoided.

[The Charge]{.underline}:

Determine if shielding can be added to RHIC experimental IR's and
elsewhere to allow experiments to operate with minimal backgrounds
during all phases of RHIC operations, including the nominal set-up and
ramp-up phases.

W

here solutions are found, develop cost and schedule to complete the
work.

A first pass at solutions is needed by [15 June]{.underline} to allow
sufficient time to integrate the work into our summer shutdown schedule.
A status report is expected to be presented at the 14 May RHIC
Machine/Detector Planning Meeting.

**MEDIA BUREAU EXTENDS DEADLINE FOR TELEVISION BROADCAST STATIONS TO
MAKE RETRANSMISSION CONSENT/ MUST CARRY ELECTIONS ON CABLE AND SATELLITE
SYSTEMS IN CERTAIN DESIGNATED MARKET AREAS EFFECTED BY HURRICANE RITA**

Pursuant to Sections 76.64 and 76.66 of the Commission's rules,
television broadcast stations seeking cable television or satellite
carriage are required to elect between retransmission consent or must
carry status by October 1, 2005 in their designated market areas (DMAs).

Because of the impact of Hurricane Rita and pursuant to section 1.3 of
the Commission's rules, the Media Bureau finds good cause to extend this
deadline until November 15, 2005 in the Alexandria, Lake Charles, and
Lafayette, Louisiana and Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas designated market
areas (DMAs). For the same reason, those portions of Commission
rules 76.64(f) and 76.66(c),(d) that affect broadcast stations'
default carriage status in the absence of an affirmative carriage
election by October 1, 2005 are waived for covered broadcasters that
make an election by November 15, 2005. Although subject to review at a
later date, at this time, the January 1, 2006 deadline for cable and
satellite operators to commence carriage of television stations located
in the above DMAs pursuant to this election is not being extended.

This extension does not affect the rights of any stations who have
already exercised their carriage elections or of any cable or satellite
operators who have already entered into carriage agreements. We remind
broadcasters, cable operators and satellite carriers of their obligation
to negotiate retransmission consent in good faith in accordance with
Section 325(b)(3)(C) of the Communications Act and Section 76.65 of the
Commission's rules. Lastly, we strongly encourage the parties to
expiring retransmission consent agreements in these DMAs to agree to
extensions during the emergency's aftermath to maintain the flow of
vital information to the public.

For additional information on this matter, please contact Ronald Parver
at (202) 418-7200.

PRIVATE LAND MOBILE RADIO SERVICES -- 900 MHz BAND

ITINERANT USE CHANNELS

The Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau) confirms that the
following Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) Services channels in the
896-901/935-940 MHz bands (900 MHz band) are designated for operations
at unspecified locations for varying periods of time (itinerant use).

> **[[900 MHz -- Industrial/Land Transportation (I/LT)
> Category]{.underline}]{.smallcaps}**
>
> Channel No. 398 -- 900.9750 / 939.9750 MHz
>
> Channel No. 399 -- 900.9875 / 939.9875 MHz
>
> **[[900 MHz -- Business Category]{.underline}]{.smallcaps}**
>
> Channel No. 131 -- 897.6375 / 936.6375 MHz
>
> Channel No. 133 -- 897.6625 / 936.6625 MHz

In 1986, the Commission certified the Industrial Telecommunications
Association (ITA) and the Personal Communications Industry Association
(PCIA) to perform frequency coordination services in the 900 MHz band
I/LT and Business frequencies, respectively.[^1] Additionally, the
Commission authorized ITA and PCIA to determine the appropriate number
of channels for itinerant and other specialized operations.[^2]

In April 2001, the Bureau certified additional private entities to
perform frequency coordination services for the 800/900 MHz band I/LT
and Business frequencies.[^3] In this connection, ITA and PCIA have
asked the Bureau to confirm the itinerant channel designations that they
made, under authority of the Commission's 1986 decision, so new
frequency advisory committees that are certified for the 800/900 MHz
band I/LT and Business frequencies will be aware of these itinerant
channel designations.[^4]

Subject: Telefile

My son was trying to use telefile to file his tax return. He got stuck
on a question half way through and didn\'t know how to save what he had
already input or pause the teleprompting process while he looked for his
information. He hung up and filed a paper return instead.

Telefile needs to be changed to allow a pause in the process in order
for taxpayers to look up requested information.

# COSPONSOR H.R. 997

**THE** **ENGLISH UNITY ACT OF 2003**

 

Dear Colleague:

 

The English language is the carrier of liberty and freedom throughout
history and the world.  For centuries, our common tongue, English, has
been the uniting force in this great nation, knocking down ethnic and
religious barriers to make us truly one nation.  Today as we rally for
unity and patriotism, a common means of communication propels us toward
our goal.

 

The English Language Unity Act declares English the language of the
United States.  Like its predecessors, it does not affect the teaching
and study of other languages.  It does not deter the use of other
languages in the home, community, church, or elsewhere.  

 

Regardless of race, gender or citizenship status, Americans have
declared their support for an official language.  A survey conducted by
the nationally recognized Tarrance Group (January 2002) found that 84
percent of Americans favor making English the official language of the
United States.  Other polls taken on a state-by-state basis have
indicated a similar threshold of support. Twenty-seven states have
passed similar English language statutes.  In the Iowa Senate, I led the
effort to pass English language unity legislation which was signed into
law in 2002.

 

A common language has enabled generations of Americans to realize the
dream of American opportunity and freedom.  Studies continue to prove
those who know English get better jobs, earn more money, and receive
better health care than those who cannot speak the language.  As a
result, an emphasis on English decreases reliance on the federal
government. 

 

The need for official English appears in our newspapers every day -
injuries in the workplace, mistranslations at hospitals, people who are
unable to support themselves and their families - all because they could
not speak English.  I ask for your support in cosponsoring **H.R. 997,
the English Language Unity Act,** which was introduced last week.  For
more information or to join me as a cosponsor of the English Language
Unity Act, please contact Brenna Findley in my office at 5-4426.

 

Sincerely,

 

Steve King

Member of Congress

[USDA CELEBRATES NATIONAL HOMEOWNERSHIP MONTH IN FOUNTAIN
COUNTY]{.underline}

New Town (#02-26; 6-6-2002): June has been declared National
Homeownership Month throughout our nation in order to spotlight the
important but sometimes overlooked benefits that homeownership brings to
our society. To recognize this occasion, USDA Rural Development
representatives presented a housewarming gift today to Ms. Julie Musser
and her daughter Lindsay who recently purchased a home in Newtown in
partnership with USDA and the Old National Bank, Covington.

Homeownership has long been recognized as a key component of the
American Dream. Homeownership provides tremendous social and economic
benefits to communities across the country. It strengthens the economy,
builds communities, and for the individual family represents a powerful
tool for building economic stability and self-esteem.

Phyllis Crumrin, a Community Development Specialist at USDA\'s Covington
office said, "Buying your first home is quite exciting and we are very
pleased to help this young family open the door to homeownership. Our
home loan program makes homeownership possible with no down payment and
the total payment may be less than what a person is now paying for
rent."

Ms Musser had been renting but is now a proud homeowner and Lindsay is
enjoying a room of her own and a big yard to play in.

In Indiana last year, USDA Rural Development along with its lending
partners enabled nearly 1,300 Hoosier families gain homeownership
through \$85 million of mortgage assistance. While serving only farm
owners until 1961, the program is now available to any limited income
rural resident who qualifies.

Single family home loans, rural rental housing, water and waste water
disposal system funding, business and industry loans, and community
facility loans and grants are financial resources available from USDA
Rural Development. Since 1994, USDA Rural Development has invested \$12
million in Fountain County.

Questions concerning USDA Rural Development services in this area should
be directed to USDA Rural Development, 2378 W. US Highway 136, Suite 3,
Covington, IN , 47932-8100; 765-793-3651, extension 4.

**Health Information for Disaster Relief Volunteers**

As VA employees are deployed to hurricane-affected areas with varying
degrees of support, supplies, and safety, Employee/Occupational Health
Units should review the health status of employees and ensure adequate
health protection. Persons under 18, pregnant women, and those with
significant health problems should be advised not to travel to the
affected region. The following lists our recommendations:

**Immunizations**

**1. Tetanus/Diphtheria (Td):**

Review tetanus vaccine review (up to date or readministered).

***Dose for adults: 0.5 ml IM once if the last tetanus booster was
greater than 10 years ago***

2.  **Hepatitis B**:

-   If the employee has evidence of adequate hepatitis B immunity status
    as documented by a positive antibody titer, no further action
    needed.

-   If the employee lacks evidence of hepatitis B immunity, or cannot
    document full vaccine series, or has never been vaccinated, initiate
    series.

***Dose for adults : 1.0 ml IM (3 doses series: 0, 1 mo, 6 mos )***

**3. Hepatitis A:**

-   Administer hepatitis A vaccine

***Dose for adults: 1.0 ml IM (2 dose series: 0 and 6 to 12 mos)***

**OR may administer, if appropriate and available:** ***Hep A + Hep B
combination vaccine (TwinRx) Dose for adults: 1.0 ml IM (3 dose series:
0, 1 mo, 6 mos)***

**4. Typhoid**: At present there is no need for typhoid vaccine

**Diarrhea---Prevention**

Consider sending employees with a supply of Pepto-Bismol to prevent
"travelers" type diarrhea.

Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto-Bismol), two 262-mg chewable tablets four
times daily, taken with meals and once in the evening for prevention of
diarrhea, 2 week supply

**Diarrhea---Treatment for moderate to severe**

-   Provide employee with a **7 day supply of Ciprofloxacin 500 mg bid**
    for treatment of diarrhea caused by bacteria that might be found in
    contaminated food or water, or transmitted via fecal-oral routes. A
    routine treatment course is Ciprofloxacin 500 mg po bid (twice
    daily) for 3 to 5 days. The 7-day supply will provide 1 to 2 full
    treatment courses. Ciprofloxacin cannot be taken by persons under
    18, pregnant women, persons with seizure disorders

Alternative to ciprofloxacin:

-   **7 day supply of Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim DS), 160
    mg/800 mg bid**. Treatment course is 3 to 5 days.

**Supplies---Employees should consider bringing:**

> Insect repellant (Prefer DEET greater than 30%)
>
> Hand sanitizer bottles (alcohol-based)
>
> Chlorine or iodine tablets (available from local sporting goods store)
>
> Own medications for one month (and supplies --e.g. diabetic syringes,
> alcohol wipes, Epi-pens for known allergic reactions, etc.)
>
> Slip-resistant shoes or safety shoes
>
> Non-sterile examination gloves
>
> Consider bringing goggles and a small supply of surgical-type masks

The report contains notes from the \"Titanium-Mineral Resources of the
U.S.\" short course, organized by the Center for Mineral Resources
(USGS-University of Arizona), Tucson, Arizona, held in January 1999.

Thirteen deposits or districts in the western U.S. have been examined in
which titanium mineral resources have been reported or implied. These
deposits are of the following general types (in probable order of
importance): 1) Cretaceous shoreline placer deposits, 2) silica-sand
deposits of California, 3) fluvial monazite placers of Idaho, 4)
anorthosite related deposits, and 5) clay and bauxite deposits of the
northwestern U.S.

Relative to previous reports, this one shows some greater and some
lesser resources (table 1). In any case, titanium-mineral resources of
the western U.S. (west of 103 degrees longitude) remain modest at world
scale except as unconventional (especially perovskite) and by-product
(especially porphyry) resources. Some deposits, however, have enhanced
value to the titanium explorationist for the geologic relations they
illustrate.

**John Hancock** ([January 12](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/January_12),
[1737](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1737)
[(O.S.)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_calendar) -- [October
8](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_8),
[1793](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1793)
[(N.S.)](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregorian_calendar)) was
[President](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_of_the_Continental_Congress)
of the [Second Continental
Congress](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Continental_Congress) and
of the [Congress of the
Confederation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congress_of_the_Confederation);
first [Governor of
Massachusetts](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governor_of_Massachusetts);
and the first person to sign the [United States Declaration of
Independence](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence).

Born in Braintree, Massachusetts in 1737, he was orphaned as a child,
and adopted by a wealthy merchant uncle who was childless. Hancock
attended Harvard College for a business education and graduated at the
age of 17. He apprenticed to his uncle as a clerk and proved so honest
and capable that, in 1760, he was sent on a business mission to England.
There he witnessed the coronation of George III and engaged some of the
leading businessmen of London. In 1763, his uncle died and John Hancock
inherited what was said to be the greatest body of wealth in New
England.

In 1768 his sloop Liberty was impounded by customs officials at Boston
Harbor, on a charge of running contraband goods. A large group of
private citizens stormed the customs post, burned the government boat,
and beat the officers, causing them to seek refuge on a ship off shore.
Soon afterward, Hancock abetted the Boston Tea Party.

The following year he delivered a public address to a large crown in
Boston, commemorating the Boston Massacre. In 1774, he was elected to
the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts and simultaneously to the
Continental Congress. When Peyton Randolph resigned in 1776, Hancock
assumed the position of President.

He retired in 1777 due to problems with gout, but continued public
service in his native state by participating in the formation of its
constitution. He was then elected in 1780 to the Governorship of the
state where he served for five years, declined reelection, and was again
elected in 1787 following Shays's Rebellion. He served in that office
until his death in 1793.

SOLICITATION 1-057-RCA.1405 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

**Question:**

The contractor has reviewed the request for quote for an inert
atmosphere

Glovebox. The contractor has one question re: the freezer. The RFQ

states that the rectangular freezer should be completely outside the

box,however the door has to open inside the box,thus taking space. If
you use

a round freezer the door wiil swing up like the anti chamber

door,consequently it will not take up internal working space.

**Answer:**

The rectangular is what is needed. We need to be able to open the door
and access the refrigerator from inside the glovebox with one glove
holding, opening, and closing the door and the other glove to be able to
access the chemicals in the freezer. An antechamber door often requires
two hands because it does not have the luxury of being hinged as does a
door. Only the freezer door should be in the glovebox work area.
Anything else is unacceptable because the useable work space becomes
limited. The freezer space should be approximately 14.8 to 17 Liters.

The freezer, rated to -35 deg C, must be able to maintain inert
atmosphere conditions and vacuum tight.
