## catnipNepeta  cataria  L. Other common names; catmint, catwort, nip, field balm.

**Food**:
- European settlers introduced catnip into North America.  Catnip has been used in Europe for centuries.  Leaves are used in food for flavoring sauces, soups and stews.

**Medicinally:**
- European settlers made tea from the leaves and used it as a general tonic and remedy for numerous ailments.  These included stomach disorders, fever, infant colic, respiratory problems, hives, nervous disorders and increasing menstrual flow.  Leaves were made into a poultice to reduce swellings.  Indians made teas or soups of catnip and drank it for all the reasons the settlers did as well as use as a stimulant, control muscular spasms, and a dewormer.  A catnip syrup was mixed with honey and used as a cough and cold medicine.  A leaf poultice was placed on boils.

## Slide 1

## Fiske Planetarium is part of the Univ. of Colorado

## CU strengths include astrophysics, atmospheric, solar, and planetary science, and aerospace. CU students run satellites, become astronauts (17!), and our best future science teachers work at Fiske...

## We do research on how people learn – or don’t learn -- science.

- What school’s Nobel Prize winner spent part of his prize money on better science teaching, and raised  $5 million more for the same cause?
- CU’s Carl Wieman

- Fiske serves 4,000 college students and
- 25,000 K-12 and public visitors yearly.
- We produce shows for many NASA missions.

## Our typical (best) programs are...

- Student centered, not instructor centered.
- Bilingual.   Feature clear goals + assessment

- Producido en conjunción con LASP y NOAA, Space Storm (Tormenta Espacial) nos presenta las interacciones que existen entre el Sol y nuestro planeta de una manera intrigante y científicamente correcta con un lenguaje apropiado para la escuela secundaria.

## We hope to add to the SOS effort:

- Bilingual facilitation and docent materials
- (our Sphere will have bilingual docents)
- Some new data sets (vibrations of the sun, world database of wildfires...)
- Assessment (?)
*Hewlett Packard  scott.palfreeman@hp.com*

## The Case for Colombia

**Giving American Products a Fair Shake**

## The Case for Colombia

- Colombian Coffee comes into
- the United States duty free...

- But this bottle of Pepsi, made
-  in the USA, pays a stiff 20%
-  tax when sold in Colombia.

## The Case for Colombia

- These beautiful Colombian
-  flowers – a major Colombian
-  export – come into our
- market and pay zero tariffs...

- But this box of U.S.-made
-  fertilizer, which helps those
-  flowers grow, is charged up
-  to 15% when exported to
- Colombia.

## The Case for Colombia

- This onion comes
- into the United States – and
- onto your dinner table –
- without paying any U.S.
- tariffs.

- But this tractor, made by
- Caterpillar in East Peoria,
- Illinois, faces a 10 percent
- duty when sold to a
- Colombian onion farmer.

## The Case for Colombia

- This Pennsylvania apple
- pays a 15 percent tariff when
- sold in Colombia...

- Meanwhile, this Colombian
- banana enters the United
- States duty-free.

## The Case for Colombia

- 	Even the paper bag containing my examples is  subject to a major tariff when sold in Colombia.
- 	I’ll bet you’re thinking this isn’t fair. The good news is that in our shopping bag we also have a great coupon that will eliminate all of these taxes on our products, in most cases immediately.

## The Case for Colombia

- 	This coupon isn’t from the Sunday paper...it’s called the
- U.S.-Colombia Free Trade Agreement,
- and it deserves a vote in the Congress of the United States.

_**COUPON**_

*U.S.-Colombia *
*Free Trade Agreement*

**** ****In order to redeem the value of this coupon, Congress must approve the U.S – Colombia FTA*

- Two bounces
- Final touchdown
- Weather and runway conditions within capabilities of airplane and flight crew

## Flight Crew Experience

| Captain |
| --- |
| January 1999 |
| 3,814 hours |

## Flight Crew PerformanceFirst Officer

- Initiated approach
- Received verbal instructions from captain
- Crossed runway threshold within airspeed limits
- Executed normal flare
- Touched down and skipped

## Flight Crew PerformanceCaptain

- Designated pilot-in-command
- Monitor first officer’s performance
- Ensure safe conduct of flight

## Flight Crew PerformanceCaptain

- Took over flight controls after skip
- Made inappropriate pitch and power changes
- Failed to execute a go-around

## Skip or Bounce During Landing

- Not unusual
- Typically caused by excessive airspeed or back pressure on the control wheel during the flare

## Skip or Bounce Recovery Techniques

- Make minor flight control inputs and/or slight power adjustments
- Add power and adjust pitch
- Go around

## Executive Airlines’ Bounced Landing Recovery Guidance

- No guidance provided on bounced landing recovery techniques during pilot training
- No formal guidance on bounced landing recovery

## Executive Airlines’ Postaccident Actions

## Strengthening Vaccine Supply

**Jerome O. Klein, MD**
**NVAC**
**June 7, 2005**

## Aligning Financial Incentives To Assure the Supply of Routinely Administered Vaccines

_**Problem**_
**US has lost domestic vaccine capability**

_**Suggested Solutions**_
**Manufacturers need to make a profit on vaccines**
**Financial incentives:**
**Increased price or tax relief**
**Guaranteed market and price**
**Contracts that reward performance**
**Increase market size**
**Insurance mandates**
**Government subsidy**

## Increasing Vaccine Stockpiles

_**Problem**_
**There is NO problem;**
**SEC ruling on “revenue recognition” is an impediment to execution**

_**Solution**_
**Perseverance in resolving impasse between SEC and  stakeholders**

## Streamlining Regulatory Stockpiles

_**Problems**_

**Execution of cGMP may   increase cost and impede production**

_**Solutions**_

** ****cGMP standards should be science based;**

** ****Vaccines and biologics   need to be regulated differently from drugs**

** ****Delay in international harmonization **

** ****Perseverance**

** ****Increase in support for CBER**

** ****Information on specific staffing and research needs**

## Strengthening Liability Protections

_**Problem**_
**Preserve the original intent of Congress**

_**Solutions**_
**Strengthen legislative language to ensure VICP as alternative to the tort system**
**“****Vaccine” includes all active ingredients**
**Expand VICP to include new vaccines for routine immunization of children**

**National Hurricane Conference**

**Notes:**
Good afternoon.

Thank you for inviting me to speak at the Third Annual National Severe Weather Workshop.  

It is a pleasure to be here.

## We Hear You

**Things you have asked of us:**
**Make us a part of the new service development process**
**Provide better tools:**
**Five day hurricane forecasts**
**Probabilistic flood forecasts**
**Improved flood categories**
**Better public education**

## Getting It Right

**New Service Development**

**New service development process:**
**Start with idea**
**Describe product and map to strategic plan**
**Create experimental product and iterate with customers**
**Go operational when ready**
**Five day hurricane forecasts followed this process**

## New Service Development

**Guiding Principles**

**New services must:**
**Be mission related**
**Support life and property protection first**
**Not surprise our partners**
**Recognize tax payers own the data**
**Be equitable for all partners**
**Not be specifically tailored to one user**

## 5-Day Hurricane Forecasts

**5-Day Hurricane Forecasts**

## 5 Day Hurricane Forecasts

**Cautions:**
**Do not focus on the track.  Take forecast uncertainty into account**
**Forecast errors increase with time**
**Forecasts do not account for new development**
**Coastal hurricane strike probabilities are not available for 96 to 120 hour forecasts**
**Error ellipse on internet subject to revision**

## Probabilistic Flood Forecast

**Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service**

***More accurate, visually oriented, probabilistic water forecasts available via the Internet***

**Probabilistic Flood Forecast**

## SAM Production Status

- Review of SAMonCAF project needs
- Status and Statistics on Testing: limitations
- Documentation Readiness and needs
- User Feedback
- Problems and Schedules: Rampup Thoughts

## Project needs

- http://projects.fnal.gov/samgrid/cdf/cdfdeploy

## DCAF

- Sam_cp_config: Art implementing and distributing
- File storage
- Alan signs off
- Request id: Rick write procedures.
- Pinning utilities for datasets.
- Done: Alan to sign off – migrate to using sam pin dataset: where the dataset is a sam dataset definition – stefan

## CAF

- Proof we can run 50 projects all consuming files. Have script, need to run
- Proof we can handle/train users to use large datasets
- Ran into trouble with >100 procs on 25K files – core dump of pmaster

## CAF cont

- Ability for users to easily manage failures in their code: sam command imminent
- Modifications to the start section as needed for smooth operation, projects should not start until there are slots.
- Training of sam shifters on errors and escalation of the importance of sam shifting

## Deployment Requirements

- 20TB/Day => got to 18, limited by caf slots
- Hbot1i=> failed to do entire set (perhaps too much)
- Restart station/servers while running (done but there can be situations where projects fail)

## Plots and Stats

- TB and Files Moved
- Loads on DBServer, SAM Station

## Station and DBsever

## Oracle Server

## Plots and Stats:Integrated Files

## Integrated Gbytes

## Files per Day

## Gbytes/day

## Limitations

- 25KFiles and >100 Projects caused problem
- <6K files ok with ? Projects
- Ran most of golden dataset through
- Running Dcache mounts now
- Limits one project (batch slot) to 200G of Dcache (with DH policy of >250M/file, 800Files/project max, batches of 30)
- Limit: 200 processes, 50 projects, 8000 files

## Documentation

- In CAF doc
- Want to make a similar one for sam: otherwise Florida pages
- Better description of sam commands and how to use.
- Have a SAM FastNavigator
- http://projects.fnal.gov/samgrid

## User Feedback

- Matthew Jones: first non-expert
- Ability to recover: wants one file out per one in
- Able to solve with a for loop and sam giving files
- Attracted by idea to save ntuples – also for TOF calibration studies (1G)

## Problems and Schedules

- Adjust/tune params: no evidence of further need of another station or dbserver machine; have a dedicated process for caf. Want to move to one dbserver for offsite and one for users queries.
- File storage bug: fixed
- Slow delivery for CondorCAF
- Slow delivery offsite (or disk?)

## Bugs

- Zombie Pmaster (project done, but process still on station node)
- 25K file core dump of pmaster

## RampUp

- Condor-CAF uses resources (one way or another).
- Continue job running for the week: after Dcache is back
- Can we control 10% of caf. Go to 20% next week.
- Sam process type: don’t allow submission unless <8K files. Samtest type?

## Continuation Proposalfor theFY07 Climate Database Modernization Program

## L-7 Digitization of Historic Records of Ionospheric Data 

- Wealth of historical data stored in NGDC warehouse
- Digitization requires costly hand keying of characteristics
- Data must be preserved for climate change research

- Digitization of historical records has provided an invaluable resource for climate scientists.  This process however, has proven costly and demanded a more efficient approach.

## Transition to Ionogram Film Recovery

- During FY06 the direction of the project was shifted from the production processing of recovering and digitizing paper based ionospheric data to implement a new procedure for digitizing historic records of film ionograms.  LASON, in coordination with the task leaders developed a concept of operations (CONOPS) for production processing of the ionosonde film records.

## Film Handling Process

- Starting from the NGDC warehouse extensive handling of the film reels requires great care
- NGDC locates and logs the outgoing reels and performs a series of checks that allow us to keep track of condition and metadata
- LASON processes the film and returns the original reel and the digitized images to NGDC for archiving.

## Quality Control of Scanned Images

- Timestamp gives us the station and time of image
- The horizontal axis represents frequency of the sounding and the vertical axis represents the reflection altitude
- Vertical lines on the image allow us to resolve the frequency axis
- Horizontal lines allow us toresolve the altitude of the measurement

- Modern computational methods make it easy for researchers to distinguish the features of the image.  This makes digitization of film ionograms an extremely valuable resource to climate scientists.

## Projected Uses of the Finished Product

- This project allows us to extend our ionospheric climate records back as much as 30 years.  This is nearly a 50% increase in the length of these historical records.  We would have to take continued measurements for three decades to produce as long a climate record as this project would allow.
- Many large scale events had taken place during the periods this project encompasses.  These images will help resolve long misunderstand properties of the ionosphere.  Such events include rarely observed natural occurrences such as giant solar storms, and man-made events that can’t be reproduced such as atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons.
- Since Ionosonde data is an increasingly popular driver for sophisticated climate models, researchers can project their models back much farther using these images along with analysis software that is already under development
- Historical events such as World War battles that were effected by faulty communications can be better understood with the ionogram data that was taken when the communications disruptions had occurred.

## Slide 1

**Notes:**
FIGURE 42.1. Location of defects in type I congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG-I). The figure shows the biosynthesis of the lipid-linked oligosaccharide (LLO) precursor and the defective steps leading to type I CDG. The monosaccharides must first be activated: mannose to mannose-6-phosphate (Man-6-P), which can occur either by direct phosphorylation of mannose or by conversion of fructose-6-P. Man-6-P is converted to Man-1-P and then on to GDP-Man and dolichol-P-mannose (Dol-P-Man). N-Acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is activated to UDP-GlcNAc (not shown). Glucose (Glc) is activated to UDP-Glc (not shown) and then on to Dol-P-Glc. The assembly of the LLO donor begins with dolichol kinase activating dolichol to Dol-P. Then separate transferases use UDP-GlcNAc to add GlcNAc-1-P to Dol-P and GlcNAc to GlcNAc-P-P-Dol, respectively. Three separate mannosyltransferases catalyze the transfer of mannose from GDP-Man on the cytoplasmic side of the ER (see Chapter 8). The resulting Man5GlcNAc2-P-P-Dol structure flips into the ER lumen where it is completed with four mannose and three glucose residues using donors Dol-P-Man and Dol-P-Glc. Reactions using these donors employ a protein (MPDU1) that helps localize them within the ER for efficient transfer. Once the LLO is completed, the oligosaccharyltransferase complex transfers glycan to asparagine residues on the peptide emerging from the translocation complex. (Red crosses) Steps defective in type I CDG. Additional defects have been found in genes encoding dolichol kinase, “flippase,” and two genes (TUSC3 and IAP) that encode subunits of the OST complex.

## Polyimide X-ray Filters Optimized for Strengthat Cryogenic Temperatures  Luxel CorporationFriday Harbor, WA

**ACCOMPLISHMENTS**
- High resolution x-ray spectroscopy using microcalorimeters requires windows that can survive launch loads and long term operation at cryogenic temperature.
- Polyimide windows from 450 to 9115Å were burst tested at room temperature (300K), liquid nitrogen temperature (77K), and liquid helium temperature (4.2K).
- By optimizing the processing parameters, especially cure cycle time, temperature, and atmosphere, an average burst strength increase of 36% was obtained.
**  ****	****	****COMMERCIALIZATION**
- Polyimide films fabricated using the optimized processing parameters are now commercially available from Luxel.

- 1997 Phase II, SS5-078, 12/02

**GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE APPLICATIONS**
- The filters developed during this SBIR offer improved mission performance for future astronomy experiments at lower cost.
- Polyimide film, optimized for cryogenic temperature, will be used as pressure windows for laser targets.  For example, the National Ignition Facility (NIF) requires windows that operate at 18K with a 1 atmosphere differential.

**Goddard Space Flight Center**

**INNOVATION**
- This SBIR optimized the strength of polyimide thin film x-ray filter substrates at cryogenic temperatures, allowing thinner windows, higher internal pressure, or a larger safety factor on burst thereby improving mission performance.

## 2011 NASA Aircraft Campaign

- Formerly known as TC4-Guam
- (new name is being competed)
- Ken Jucks, Hal Maring, David Considine, and the TBA TCP PM

## Current Plans and discussions

- The original TC4 white paper called for observations in the western tropical pacific in the NH winter (tropopause cold point) in order to fully understand the transport of H2O and trace gases into the stratosphere.
- The Costa Rica campaign concentrated MORE on cirrus and aerosols and less on the chemical composition in the TTL.  Plus, the WB-57 was only available for the very end of the campaign.
- Recent conversations with the Project Scientists from the CR campaign re-confirmed that the open questions from the white paper still exist and should be the primary focus of the next campaign.

## The plan forward

- A team has been developed to prepare a list of the key science questions and required observations to address the questions from the points of view of all of the NASA atmospheric research programs and research satellites.
- The troposphere community and aerosol community are more interested in making observations closer to the sources of short lived compounds  that be convected upward (closer to Indonesia than to Guam or the coldest tropical tropopause location, and highest in the summer).
- The stratospheric questions would prefer observations in the winter and further east.

## The problems

- $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
- There is no ideal location to locate the planes.
- Guam is far north, other locations are more expensive and require more extensive political hurdles.
- The WB-57 has planned upgrades that may or may not occur by the time of the campaign.
- This presents many logistical problems.
- The ER-2 has a lower payload capacity and more restrictions as to where it could fly wrt convection.
- The Global Hawk would really need to have a mobile control facility to work for this campaign.

## Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) 

- February 8, 2007

## Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) 

- FTE = Unit of Measure of a worker’s productivity or effort

- FTE ≠                  Count

- Head

## Units of Measure - 4 Types of Hrs

-  Productive Hours – hours charged to a project

-  Paid Leave Hours:

| Leave | Project ID | Account |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Vacation |  | 221402 |
| Sick | 356001 |  |
| Holiday | 356011 |  |
| Other | 356002 |  |

-  Overtime Hours

-  Leave w/o Pay (LWOP) – not in FTE calc

-  not in FTE calc

## Units of Measure – Work Month

-  Work Month = Productive Hours in Acctg Period / Available Hour in Acctg Period

- Available hours for monthly (MON) employees are different from bi-weekly (BWK) employees because of their differences in time reporting to LDRS and General Ledger in any given month.

## FTE Calculation

- FTE = FTE Factor x Work Month of each employee
- FTE Factor =
- (Σ Productive Hours + Σ Paid Leave Hours)
- Σ Productive Hours
- calculated for each paygoup (MON or BWK) at the Level 1 division – employee’s home organization

## Paid Leave Factor (PLF)

- PLF = 1 / FTE Factor
- PLF =             (Σ Productive Hours )
- (Σ Productive Hours + Σ Paid Leave Hours)
- FTE = Employee Work Month / PLF

## Example

- For each MON employee:
- Available Hrs = 22 Days x 8 Hrs/Day = 176 Hrs
- For each BWK employee:

- Assume Division A has 4 MON and 3 BWK Employees

## Example  - Monthly (MON)

## Example  - Bi-weekly (BWK)

## Adjustments

-  Adjustments for late time entry or corrections to hours reported in prior reporting periods.
-  If the prior time reporting period occurs in the same accounting period as the current time reporting period, then adjustment hours are included in the FTE calculations.
-  If the adjustment is not for the current reporting period, an Adjusting FTE is calculated and will be included in calculating YTD FTE.

## Key Points

-  Standard calculation for LBNL FTE reports.
-  FTE Calculation based on FTE Factor of whole L1 Division (home organization).
-  FTE of an employee can be > 1.0 or 0.
-  FTE calculation excludes LWOP and overtime.
-  YTD Ave FTE calculation includes FTE adjustments.
