**SAFETY MEETING ALABAMA WING 9 DEC 06**

**FLIGHT SAFETY**

**SUBJECT: FUEL MANAGEMENT IN WINTER WINDS**

Lately there have been several general aviation accidents due to fuel
exhaustion. Before we say it couldn't happen to me, let's review
possible causes for these mishaps. We are all happy it is colder (I
guess?), so that our engines produce more power in December as compared
to July or August (summertime creates high density altitudes even before
we takeoff). Unfortunately, more power means more fuel (the extra power
does not come free). So, we have to plan for "conservative" (the kind
that let's you grow old and cranky) fuel burns on our flight planning
(for example, if you got used to 9 GPH in the summer, better plan on a
conservative 10 GPH in winter). The plus side is that we will fly
somewhat faster, since we have better performance from our engines. But
we still have other factors to worry about: winter winds. The winter
prevailing westerly winds are notoriously stronger than during the
summer.

On a flight last week at work, the winds at FL 180 were over 120 Kts
from the west. Not bad if you are going east, but terrible if you want
to go west. Before you dismiss this example as something that only
applies to higher flying turbine guys, let me tell you that the same
winds at six and nine thousand feet were 49 and 68 kts respectively,
which would have really hurt our C-172 ground speed going west. My whole
point is that in the winter, you have to REALLY plan well for fuel burns
and winds aloft, so that we don't become a "glider pilot without a
glider rating". We may be used to planning flights of 250-300 NM in our
C-172's, but now that old man winter is here, we may have to adjust that
mindset to the wind of the day. Remember that the fuel in your tanks is
not really a guarantee of "range" but a guarantee of "endurance", ie,
"time airborne before fuel runs out".

Let's all be safe out there and plan well enough to "Live to fight
another day"!

**GROUND SAFETY**

**SUBJECT: WINTER/HOLIDAY SAFETY**

During these upcoming holidays, there are possibilities we may get hurt
if we are not careful. These are but a few of the things we can do
better to stay alive and healthy.

When decorating the house and/or tree, use only UL approved electrical
decorations. Inspect these decorations and if you see any fayed or cut
wires, don't use them. Don't try putting multiple cords plugged into a
single outlet, it may overheat. Always unplug the decorations before
going to bed or leaving the house for a trip. And as always, if you
drive to a party, don't drink and drive, have instead a designated
driver. Proper use of seatbelts and obeying speed limits should help
ensure your longevity!!!

Remember, we can get killed just as easily on the ground as on the air!
Be safe!

The recent Cassini UVIS discovery of water vapor plumes ejected from the
south pole of the Saturnian satellite, Enceladus, presents a unique
window of opportunity for the detection of extant life in our solar
system. With its significant geothermal energy source propelling these
plumes 80 km from the surface of the moon and the ensuing large
temperature gradient with the surrounding environment, it is possible to
have the weathering of rocks by liquid water at the rock/liquid water
interface. For the cases regarding the putatively detected salt-water
oceans beneath the ice crusts of Europa and Callisto, an isolated
subsurface ocean without photosynthesis or contact with an oxidizing
atmosphere will approach chemical equilibrium and annihilate any
ecosystems dependent on redox gradients unless there is a substantial
alternative (for example, geothermal) energy source. This thermodynamic
tendency imposes severe constraints on any biota that is based on
chemical energy (Gaidos et al., 1999).

On Enceladus, the weathering of rocks by liquid water at the rock/liquid
water interface and any concommitant radioactive emissions (that some
authors have proposed) are possible incipient conditions for life
(Hartman et al., 1994). If there is CO, CO2 and NH3 present in the
spectra obtained from the plume, then this is possible evidence that
amino acids could be formed at the rock/liquid interface of Enceladus.
We discuss the search for signatures of these species and organics in
the Cassini UVIS spectra of the plume (Hansen et al., 2006) and
subsequent implications for the possible detection of life.

**Nuclear Waste Remediation Using Superhydration.**

Thomas Vogt

Recently the threat of nuclear contamination using "dirty nuclear
weapons" has become a vital issue for counter-terrorism. The liquid
radioactive waste produced or used in such an act or the contamination
of groundwater as a result calls for an adaptable cleanup strategy.

Recent work on superhydration, the adsorption of excess water under
pressure into an already fully hydrated zeolite^1^ offers the potential
to enhance filtration and immobilization techniques. The exploratory
search for microporous systems where the pressure required for this to
happen is within the capability of laboratory reactors is demanding but
the technological opportunities make it worthwhile. Currently, the
tailoring of microporous materials for waste storage under pressure
lacks a clear understanding of the mechanisms involved. We envisage a
combined approach of x-ray powder diffraction and infra-red spectroscopy
under pressure to illuminate the complex interplay of framework,
charge-balancing cations and fluids in nanoporous materials. Some
preliminary results done on zeolites are very encouraging: by varying
the framework composition we successfully stabilized a superhydrated
zeolite at ambient conditions ^2^ and furthermore, by varying the
composition of the charge-balancing cations we managed to lower the
necessary pressure at which superhydration takes place considerably ^3^.
Superhydrated nanoporous materials can retain their excess water after
pressure release permitting the selective adsorption and storage of e.g.
tritiated water and other small molecules. Furthermore, superhydration
allows the immobilization of commonly occurring radioisotopes such as
^90^Sr, ^137^Cs and ^60^Co via a "trap-door mechanism": when exchanging
ions in water at pressures of a few hundred bars for a few minutes, the
pores of the zeolites expand due to the excess water entering the
zeolite cages. Subsequently larger cations can enter the nanopores.
After releasing the pressure these pores contract again thereby trapping
the exchanged cations, which is beneficial for retarding the release of
radionuclides into the biosphere. The rich, complex and largely
unexplored chemistry of microporous materials under pressure has the
capability to provide customized solutions for waste remediation and
immobilization of a large variety of chemical and biological materials.

**WIRELINE COMPETITION BUREAU ANNOUNCES RELEASE OF REVISED FORM 498 AND
ACCOMPANYING INSTRUCTIONS TO BE USED TO COLLECT CONTACT, REMITTANCE, AND
PAYMENT INFORMATION FROM SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM THE
FEDERAL UNIVERSAL SERVICE SUPPORT MECHANISMS**

**CC Docket No. 96-45**

> **Released: November 10, 2003**

The Wireline Competition Bureau of the Federal Communications Commission
announces the release of revised FCC Form 498 and associated
instructions to be used by the Universal Service Administrative Company
(USAC) to collect contact, remittance, and payment information from
service providers that receive support from the Federal universal
service support mechanisms. The revised form and accompanying changes
have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).[^1]

USAC will launch the new Service Provider Identification Number and
Contact Information Form, FCC Form 498, on November 17, 2003. The form
has been improved to ensure that all service providers participating in
any of USAC's four support mechanisms may provide remittance information
when receiving universal service support. Each service provider that
receives Federal universal service support under any of the four support
mechanisms must complete this form. In addition, service providers now
have the option of completing the form online. Upon completing the
online submission, the service provider must print, sign and return the
forms to USAC to be officially certified. Upon receipt of the signed
forms, the online submission will be processed. Service providers are
strongly encouraged to take advantage of the online submission
capabilities.

Please note that a letter of authorization on company letterhead must
accompany all originals and revisions of FCC Form 498 submissions. If
the form is a revision, the authorization letter should specify which
blocks are being revised. It is incumbent upon the service provider to
keep the information on this form current as it may affect the
timeliness of payment. The FCC Form 498 is the official record on file
with USAC related to contact and remittance information.

The new forms and instructions may be obtained at USAC's website,
\<http://www.universalservice.org\>. The prior version of FCC Form 498
will no longer be accepted after November 16, 2003. Submissions using
the prior version of FCC Form 498 with a postmark after November 16,
2003 will be rejected and returned. For further information, contact
Cara Voth, Attorney Advisor, Telecommunications Access Policy Division,
Wireline Competition Bureau, at (202) 418-7400; TTY (202) 418-0484.

1331 Safari Drive

To Whom It May Concern:

Answers to Request for Comments...

1)  [Headaches due to existing tax system]{.underline} include having to
    spend several hours over several days to gather receipts, pay and
    meet with an accountant, and the fear that goes along with worrying
    if one will have to pay out even more to the government than they
    already have that year.

2)  [Aspects of the tax system that are unfair]{.underline}...The most
    unfair part of our current tax system is that people are punished,
    in essence, by how much income they receive. This income is earned
    and a reward for success and a job well done, yet these people pay
    more than anyone else in income taxes and they receive no additional
    benefits from the government for the great amount extra that they
    pay verses a middle income salaried individual. Also, it is unfair
    that we are taxed on top of taxes on top of other taxes. For
    example, your income check is taxed from the get go. Then, the bills
    that you pay such as electric, gas, water, phone, are all taxed.
    Then, the food and clothes and shoes you must purchase to survive
    are all taxed. Then the car you must drive to get to your job is
    taxed with sales tax when you first purchase it and then again each
    year, in almost all states, by the state as "property tax." By the
    time taxes are done being paid, there's not much left for most
    Americans. No wonder the economy is not as fruitful as it once was.
    As inflation and prices goes up, so does the taxes we pay. A gallon
    of milk that was \$2.45, is now \@2.89 and therefore the tax on it
    is also more, \$0.18 is now \$0.22 at a 7.475% tax rate. It's a
    chain reaction that truly takes a toll on the spending habits of
    Americans.

3)  No comment

4)  [Goals that the Panel should try to achieve and recommendations for
    reform]{.underline} include the "Fair Tax," also known as the
    consumption tax. This cuts out the income tax entirely and only
    taxes everyone once for what they consume that is not a necessity.
    Therefor, the unfair taxes on food or homes would be wiped out since
    they are necessities. But, if we decide that we can now afford a big
    screen tv since we receive ALL of our paychecks (that's hundreds and
    even thousands of dollars for many people) then we pay a higher tax
    on the big screen tv. But keep in mind, we only pay on what we
    consume, not what we make. Plus, April 15^th^ would be just another
    day and there would be no need to seek out an accountant or drudge
    through hours of receipts and paperwork. Make more, spend more. It's
    that simple. The economy and the American people would be all the
    better with a "Fair Tax" in place instead of the current tax system.
    The goal is simpler and fairer. What more could we ask for.

Respectfully,

Rebecca Evans

The Effects of Nitrate on the Oxidation and Mobilization of Selenium

Winfield G. Wright, U.S. Geological Survey\
Peter B. McMahon, U.S. Geological Survey\
\
The influence of nitrate on the oxidation and mobilization of selenium
in ground water presently is under investigation by the Department of
the Interior National Irrigation Water Quality Program at the
Gunnison/Grand Valley study area in western Colorado. Environmental
data, thermodynamic relations, and preliminary laboratory experiments
indicate that nitrate in ground water can oxidize and mobilize selenium.
Ground-water-quality data from irrigated land underlain by seleniferous
marine shale in the study area (and from other irrigation studies in
Colorado and Wyoming) indicate that selenium concentrations are
positively correlated with nitrate; selenium and nitrate also are
positively correlated in surface water. Thermodynamic relations for
selenium oxidation indicate that elemental selenium could be oxidized to
selenite (SeIVO3) and selenate (SeVIO4) by nitrate and nitrite, and
theoretical energies for some of the reactions nearly equal the energy
available for oxidation of selenium by oxygen.

Preliminary laboratory-batch experiments were performed on
shale-residuum samples using different concentrations of nitrate with
near-zero-dissolved-oxygen concentrations; these preliminary results are
inconclusive yet promising. Rate data indicate an increase of SeVIO4
with a concomitant decrease of SeIVO3 over a two-week period.
Batch-sediment samples that were\
autoclaved exhibited oxidation-rate curves similar to unautoclaved
samples possibly indicating an abiotic oxidation process. The selenium
oxidized by the experiments (about 50 micrograms per liter) comprised
only 2 to 5 percent of the total selenium in the solid-phase samples
(ranging from 2.5 to 4.8 micrograms per gram determined by total
digestion) indicating that most of the\
selenium occurs as insoluble, coprecipitated clay minerals or
oxyhydroxides. It was difficult to completely sparge dissolved oxygen
from control samples (dissolved-oxygen concentrations were about 0.35
milligrams per liter); these control samples contained selenium
concentrations ranging from 15 to 50 micrograms per liter. Work is
continuing to determine the importance of selenium oxidation by nitrate
relative to selenium oxidation by dissolved-oxygen concentrations in
ground water.

Mr. Robert Quackenbush, National Academy of Public Administration

Dr. Noonan called the meeting to order at 3:35 pm. After participants
introduced themselves, Mr. Herer reviewed the comments received to date
from the public. He noted several general themes for suggested
improvements:

-   Strengthen discussion of NSF's impact on societal welfare.

-   Convey more of the "excitement of discovery."

-   Clarify the discussion of the plan's role in setting a framework for
    performance assessment.

-   Clarify the meaning of the term "core," as it is used in several
    contexts in the plan.

Mr. Herer also noted that people had commented positively on the
inclusion of the organizational excellence goal.

Committee members then provided their own general comments on the plan
and identified a number of areas where the plan could be strengthened,
notably:

-   How NSF fits into the overall Science and Technology enterprise.

-   NSF's role as the "hub" of an extended network.

-   The importance of rotators in NSF's administrative processes.

-   Integration of crosscutting activities (priority areas) into the
    plan.

The committee then focused on the four discussion questions included on
the agenda:

-   Does the plan capture NSF's role in providing leadership for science
    and engineering?

-   Does the plan identify the key factors for NSF's success?

-   Does the Organizational Excellence goal capture the administration
    and management activities NSF should be addressing?

-   Regarding the framework for integrating budget and performance (pp.
    5-6 & 14-16), do you see any issues or challenges NSF may encounter
    when implementing this approach?

In concluding the meeting, the committee again agreed that following the
meeting a formal letter would be sent to NSF with observations and
suggestions. The meeting adjourned at 4:45 pm.

application for station KSAX(TV). In response to Section IV, Question 5
of that application, you certify that, during the previous license term,
station KSAX(TV) failed to comply with the limitations on commercial
matter in children's programming specified in Section 73.670 of the
Commission's Rules. In Exhibit 19 to the renewal application, you
indicate that station KSAX(TV) exceeded the children's television
commercial limits by 30 seconds on February 4, 2001, February 11, 2001,
and February 18, 2001.

It appears from the information before us that the overages in question
were isolated violations of the children's television commercial limits.
Such *de minimis* violations of Section 73.670 of the Commission's Rules
do not warrant further consideration in connection with KSAX(TV)'s
renewal application.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, a copy of this Letter shall be sent by
First Class and Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to KSAX-TV,
Inc. at the address listed above and to its counsel, David A. O'Connor,
Esq., Holland & Knight LLP, 2099 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Suite 100,
Washington, D.C. 20006-6801.

**NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION**

Case Number: EB-07-PA-117

Document Number: W20073240003

The Philadelphia Office received information that an unlicensed Land
Mobile Radio Service station on 452.700 MHz was allegedly operating in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On April 26, 2007, agents from this office
confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on
frequency 452.700 MHz were emanating from Cardinal Health, 3001 Red Lion
Road, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19114. The Commission's records show

Re: Comments on the Environmental Fate and Effects Risk Assessment for
Aldicarb Docket Control Number OPP-2005-0163

Aldicarb has been an important nematicide for our cotton farmers for the
past 25 years. We are faced with serious problems in cotton production
from nematodes such as the Southern root-knot and reniform. These two
nematodes are widespread throughout Louisiana and been a persistent and
difficult pest to try to manage. Aldicarb has been one of most widely
used nematicides to help us manage these problems. The loss of this
pesticide would greatly reduce our options to deal with plant-parasitic
nematodes.

We have had good results with Aldicarb as a nematicide in cotton for
many years. Since it is applied in the seed furrow and at fairly low use
rates, there are minimal problems to wildlife or other environmental
concerns. Our producers are very concerned about profitability and are
very unlikely to be wasteful by applying excessive amounts or putting it
where it will not help with the cotton crop.

Aldicarb has a proven track record in our state where it has been used
successfully for many years to deal with nematode problems. We have very
few nematicides that are registered for cotton in our state and even
fewer which can provide the nematode and insect control provided by
Aldicarb.

Thank you for considering my comments for our cotton producers in our
state.

**Subpart N - Problems in Alcohol Testing**

**§ 40.267   What problems always cause an alcohol test to be
cancelled?**

As an employer, a BAT, or an STT, you must cancel an alcohol test if any
of the following problems occur. These are "fatal flaws." You must
inform the DER that the test was cancelled and must be treated as if the
test never occurred. These problems are:

\(a\) In the case of a screening test conducted on a saliva ASD or a
breath tube ASD:

\(1\) The STT or BAT reads the result either sooner than or later than
the time allotted by the manufacturer and this Part (see §40.245(a)(8)
for the saliva ASD and §40.245(b)(8) for the breath tube ASD).

\(2\) The saliva ASD does not activate (see §40.245(a)(7); or

\(3\) The device is used for a test after the expiration date printed on
the device or on its package (see §40.245(a)(1) for the saliva ASD and
§40.245(b)(1) for the breath tube ASD).

\(4\) The breath tube ASD is tested with an analyzer which has not been
pre-calibrated for that device\'s specific lot (see §40.245(b)(1)).

\(b\) In the case of a screening or confirmation test conducted on an
EBT, the sequential test number or alcohol concentration displayed on
the EBT is not the same as the sequential test number or alcohol
concentration on the printed result (see §40.253(c), (e) and (f)).

\(c\) In the case of a confirmation test:

\(1\) The BAT conducts the confirmation test before the end of the
minimum 15-minute waiting period (see §40.251(a)(1));

\(2\) The BAT does not conduct an air blank before the confirmation test
(see §40.253(a));

\(3\) There is not a 0.00 result on the air blank conducted before the
confirmation test (see §40.253(a)(1) and (2));

\(4\) The EBT does not print the result (see §40.253(f)); or

\(5\) The next external calibration check of the EBT produces a result
that differs by more than the tolerance stated in the QAP from the known
value of the test standard. In this case, every result of 0.02 or above
obtained on the EBT since the last valid external calibration check is
cancelled (see §40.233(a)(1) and (c)(3)).

# Los Angeles VA Chapel Dedicated to Bob Hope

> WASHINGTON -- Secretary of Veterans Affairs Anthony J. Principi today
> participated in rededicating the chapel at the Los Angeles National
> Cemetery in honor of entertainer Bob Hope. The event, marking Hope\'s
> 99^th^ birthday, was sponsored by the Veterans Park Conservancy, Inc.,
> a non-profit organization that has spearheaded several
> cemetery-enhancement projects since 1997.
>
> \"Bob Hope brought laughter and reminders of home to troops stationed
> in combat theaters from World War II to the Gulf War, often at the
> expense of his own family life and sometimes at his peril,\" Principi
> said. \"This is one way that a grateful nation can say to him,
> \'Thanks for the Memories.\'\"
>
> During 60 years of goodwill tours to U.S. forces around the world,
> often under sponsorship of the USO, Hope is credited with entertaining
> 10 million American service members. Members of the Hope family,
> military and veterans service organization representatives, government
> officials and Hollywood notables attended.
>
> Congress passed H.R. 4592 renaming the chapel at the Los Angeles
> cemetery, where 85,000 veterans are buried, in Hope's honor. The
> chapel also houses the cemetery's administrative offices.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), in partnership with the
Veterans Park Conservancy, Inc., plans to renovate the historic chapel,
built in 1940-41, to include restoration of distinctive architectural
features along with the installation of new heating, cooling, lighting
and security systems.

> Bob Hope was born Leslie Townes Hope on May 29, 1903, in Eltham,
> England. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1920. In 1997, an act
> of Congress made him an \"honorary veteran.\" He is the only private

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a devastating and incurable

neurodegenerative disorder that afflicts over one million Americans.

The universal PD pathology is the presence of aggregated α-synuclein

within dying midbrain substantia nigra neurons. The role these   α-

synuclein aggregates play in cell death is unclear, but debate rages

about whether these aggregates are neuroprotective or harmful to

cells. The α-synuclein found within these aggregates is heavily

phosphorylated at serine residue 129.  Scientists found that rats

espressing alpha-synuclein with a mutation that prevents

phosphorylation at serine-129 (S129A) had a decrease in the amount of

substantia nigra neurons compared to rats expressing wild type

protein (Gorbatyuk et al. 2007).  Our lab tested the hypothesis that

lack of phosphorylation exacerbates a-synuclein toxicity by

expressing two phosphorylation deficient a-synuclein mutants (S87A &

S129A) in budding and fission yeast.  We found that the

phosphorylation deficient mutant S129A increased toxicity in budding

yeast (BY4741), and that both mutants altered the localization

patterns of the protein in a second budding yeast strain(TSY623).

Unintentionally, these alpha-synuclein constructs were created with a

substitution at the 140th amino acid (A140G).  In a previous study by
another lab,

an accidental point mutation that occurred in the sequence of their

alpha-synuclein construct ended up shedding light on the properties

of the protein, and thus we compared our work with the A140G protein

to the corrected protein.
