- The mast was vertical and the drill head was rotating.
- The rotating steel entangled him.

## Counterclock 

**Location of Victim**

**Counterclock **
**rotation**

- The drill operator was found lying next to the drill mast near the drill steel.

## 636 Furukawa HCR 12 ED Rock Drill

**636 Furukawa HCR 12 ED Rock Drill**

- A 14-foot starter steel and a 12-foot steel were found in the prior hole drilled.  One used steel was found in the magazine.  The victim was manually feeding a steel into the collar with the mast vertical and the drill head rotating when it cross threaded and entangled him.

## Note the abrasion marks (indicating possible cross threading)

**Note the abrasion marks (indicating possible cross threading)**
** ****on the top of drill steel and in the collar.**

## Why Did Accident Occur?

- Drill steel being added did not come from the storage magazine on the drill.
- Victim physically placed the drill steel on the rotating striker bar.
- Drill mats was in the vertical drilling position.
- Drill not turned off.
- Victim did not follow procedures.  Two persons required to place steel in magazine with drill turned off and in lowered horizontal position.
- Victim’s clothing became entangled in the drill steel.

## Drill mast in lowered horizontal position for correct way to manually 

**Drill mast in lowered horizontal position for correct way to manually **
**place steel on collar and striker.**

## Causal Factor

- Drill operator did not follow the drill manufacturer’s procedures for adding drill steels.

## Best Practices

- Train all personnel to help them recognize and understand procedures to safely perform tasks before beginning any work.
- Ensure that personnel follow the manufacturer's procedures when adding drill steels.
- Never manually thread drill steels when the drill head is rotating.
- Do not wear loose fitting clothing when working around drilling machinery.
- Monitor personnel routinely to determine that procedures are followed.

## The Landsat Science team is concerned about the state of the international archive of Landsat data. This archive represents the only long term history of the state of the planet as characterized by moderate resolution imagery. Much of the archive currently resides solely in the holdings of international ground stations, perhaps 4 million scenes according to Goward et al. (2006). We believe that securing the integrity and access to these data for the scientific community and posterity should be a high priority. We would appreciate a report (this could be at our next Science team meeting in June 2007 or in other appropriate form) on our knowledge of the status of this archive and on any efforts underway or planned to ensure it is properly archived and accessible. Could you provide us with this information or suggest a more appropriate source.Reference:Goward, S., Arvidson, T., Williams, D., Faundeen, J., Irons, J., and Franks, S., “Historical Record of Landsat Global Coverage: Mission Operations, NSLRSDA and International Cooperator Stations”, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing, Vol. 72, No. 10, pp. 1155-01169, October 2006.

## Guidance on Section 106 Grants to Indian Tribes

**Lena Ferris, US EPA Office of Wastewater Management**
**November 2007**

## History on Tribal Section 106 Program

- New grantees eligible every year
- 249 tribes are currently eligible
- 10 new tribes eligible in 2006
- 3 new tribes eligible in 2007
- Since FY2000, number of eligible tribes has increased by 63%
- Section 106 guidance for tribes last updated in 2000
- Previous guidance did not establish national, consistent tribal water quality program guidelines

## Need for Tribal 106 Guidance

- Increased federal funding for tribal WQ program
- $3M per year in early 1990s to approx $25M in FY07
- Inconsistent programmatic and reporting requirements
- Required information varies by region
- Unable to document and report on national program results or outcomes
- Desire to include tribal water conditions as part of national water quality assessments

## Goals of the Section 106 Guidance

*The release of the Guidance on Awards of Grants to Indian Tribes under Section 106 of the Clean Water Act is intended to help tribal water quality program managers, staff, and other tribal environmental decision makers design and implement effective and successful water quality programs. *
*The guidance establishes procedures and guidelines (including reporting requirements) for EPA regions to consider when awarding and administering grants to federally recognized tribes under the authority of section 106 of the Clean Water Act for fiscal year (FY) 2007 and subsequent years.*

## Goals for Tribal 106 Guidance

- Establish a nationally consistent structure to manage section 106 tribal grants
- Define grant expectations and reporting requirements
- Document national tribal WQ program results
- Create accountability but allow flexibility
- Help tribes measure progress and define success for their programs

## Slide 3

## D0 Status cont.

- A flaky input for Level 2 preshower that caused short but frequent (few times per hour) disruptions to data taking has been disabled on Tuesday
- Preshower information is not (yet) used in the Level 2 trigger
- Silicon Track Trigger commissioning is progressing
- Significant fraction (>50%) of the system is in the readout at all times
- Firmware development ongoing – impact on physics data taking <3%
- Comparisons of data and simulation
- Forward Proton Detector: routinely inserting all 18 roman pots
- Thursday morning, a power supply critical for proton side spectrometers failed – awaiting opportunity for tunnel access
- We got some good press on new liquid Nitrogen recovery system in Fermilab Today –  saving $3500 / month after payback for equipment cost
- Making plans for mini-shutdown next week
- No major jobs – mostly maintenance
- Detector will likely remain closed

## Luminous Region

- Effort to understand (and optimize) beam optics in the interaction region
- Uncertainty on luminosity measurement is reduced to about 6.5%
- Beam profile at D0 looks “strange”
- So far we can provide beam width measurements “offline” only
- Since a 10% increase in luminosity corresponds to about a month of running per year, we are in favor of spending some amount of beam study time
- Mike Martens is our contact person in Accelerator Division

## Beyond Oil:Two Roads Diverge

**David Hawkins, NRDC**
**April 2006**

## The Road Not Taken

- Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
- I took the one less traveled by,
- And that has made all the difference.
- Robert Frost, 1920

## Two paths to replacing oil

**Green**
- Hybrid vehicles
- Plug-in hybrids w/clean electricity
- Low GHG biofuels
- H2 from renewables or coal w/CCS?
- CO2 for EOR

**Brown**
- Oil shale
- Tar sands
- Corn ethanol w/dirty heat input
- Coal liquids w/o CCS
- H2 from coal w/o CCS

## Impacts of Fossil Substitutes for Oil

- Global Warming Pollution
- Conventional Pollution
- Mining Impacts

## Global Warming Imperatives

- Use of fossil fuels must fit within a finite budget for CO2 emissions.
- Likely will need 60-80% cuts in current global CO2 emissions this century.
- Large reductions in CO2 emissions for transport fuels compared to crude will be needed.

## Cutting U.S. emissions in half

## Carbon Reductions from US BAU in 2050

## WTW CO2 emissions compared

- Tar sands, oil shale, coal liquids, fossil H2 all have substantially higher WTW CO2 emissions than crude if production CO2 vented.
- Even if production CO2 is captured WTW emissions of fossil substitutes may not be compatible with climate protection.

## Slow start, crash finish

## Conventional Air Pollutants	

- Conventional pollutant caps do not apply to most oil substitute production.
- Large-scale CTL program could result in significant SOx, NOx, particulate, and mercury emissions

## Mining Impacts

- Current coal mining practices already taking a toll.
- Potential  expansion of mining of coal, shale, tar sands could produce major land and water impacts.

## General Statement

- The practice of nursing as a licensed practical nurse is defined as performing tasks and responsibilities within the framework of casefinding, health teaching, health counseling, and provision of supportive and restorative care under the direction of a registered professional nurse or licensed physician, dentist, or other licensed health care provider legally authorized under this title and in accordance with the commissioner’s regulations
- Title VIII Education Law, Article 139—Nursing

## Nurse Practice Act:Guidelines for Professional Nursing Direction of LPNs

- These guidelines give notice of general, acceptable standards of professional practice
- “Under the direction of a registered professional nurse” in Section 6902(2) is understood to mean that a registered nurse should be present on the premises or immediately available by telephone when professional services are rendered by a licensed practical nurse
- The degree of supervision shall be appropriate to the circumstances

## What This Means:What LPNs Cannot Do

- LPNs cannot assess unless an RN is present
- LPNs cannot do “on call”
- LPNs cannot do walk-ins unless an RN is present

## What LPNs Can Do as Per Nurse Practice Act

- LPNs can provide bedside nursing care, including services requiring sterile techniques
- LPNs can observe, measure, record, and report indications of patient health status
- LPNs can administer medications as directed
- LPNs can perform more specialized tasks, such as IV therapy, with additional training
- LPNs can administer blood and blood products with additional training

## What This Means

- LPNs can make an appointment for the student to see either the RN or doctor
- LPNs can administer medications after a doctor orders them
- LPNs can assist the doctor with examinations
- LPNs can perform venipuncture if an RN is present (also has to be documented that they have been observed and are proficient in the procedure)

## MRI:  Acquisition of a State-of-the-Art X-ray Diffractometer for Training, Research, and EducationTabbetha Dobbins, Louisiana Tech University, DMR 0722706

***Figure 1.**** An instrument comparable to the Bruker D8 Discover System with GADDS (image from *_[www.bruker-axs.de](http://www.bruker-axs.de/)__) will be acquired through this funding initiative.  The proposal was a joint effort by researchers at Louisiana Tech University, Grambling State University, and the University of Louisiana at Monroe._

**This award allows acquisition of an x-ray diffractometer (XRD) instrument to enhance micro/nanotechnology research training and education at the Louisiana Tech University (LaTech) Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM), and to allow neighboring Grambling State University (GSU) and the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM) and other users in north Louisiana and the region to have access to this instrument for research, educational, and industrial needs. A wide range of research/training efforts at the IfM will benefit from XRD, including Surface Modification for Microcantilever Biosensors, Research and Education- Increasing Student Participation at Internationally Recognized User Facilities, Nanoengineered Shells for Encapsulation and Controlled Release, and An Innovative Intermediate-Layer Lithography Approach for Patterning Conducting Polymers. **
