SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIABILITY IN FOOD QUALITY OF TRANSPORT ORGANIC MATTER

Paul D. Hoppe and Michael D. Delong. Large River Studies Center, Biology 
Department, Winona State University, Winona MN 55987

Patterns of chlorophyll a and particulate organic matter (POM) in the water 
column determine food quality, which can be a driving force in system 
energetics.  An increase in the chlorophyll a/POM ratio indicates an increase in 
food quality.  Additionally, food quality is likely to change as a function of 
habitat type and time of the year; the results of which could influence consumer 
productivity.  Chlorophyll a and POM concentrations were examined monthly for 
main and side channel habitats to ascertain spatial and temporal patterns of 
food quality.  One-liter samples were collected from main channel and side 
channel habitats in Reaches 5, 6, and 8 of the upper Mississippi River from July 
through September 2001.  Samples were collected from near shore areas in 
association with snags.  From each sample, 500 mL were vacuum filtered through 
two separate 
1.0-m glass fiber filters.  One filter was used to determine chlorophyll a 
concentration using spectrophotometric techniques and the other filter was used 
to determine biomass of POM.  Biomass was measured by placing filters in oven at 
60 C for 48 hr, sampled was weighed and placed in a muffle furnace at 550 C 
for 4 hr to determine ash free dry mass. There was no significant difference in 
chlorophyll a concentration, POM biomass or in chlorophyll a/POM ratio.  The 
ratio remained unchanged seasonally in the main channel but reached a peak of 
22.5 in late July before returning in September to a level similar to that of 
early July.  This response was not observed in side channels, but that may be 
due to high concentrations of POM resulting from the abundance of dying 
macrophytes we observed during this period.

Most of the streams upon which gold is found, are mountain torrents, flowing through rocky and precipitous channels, and a yellowish red soil. There is apparently much iron in the earth, and where most of the gold is obtained, the bed and banks of the rivers are composed of coarse gravel intermingled with sand and a yellowish earth. So far as I have observed, or can ascertain from others, the gold is always found in the stratum of " drift" or " diluvium," unless it has been displaced by mountain torrents, or through other comparatively modern agencies. The fine gold is found in the lower portions of the streams, and is extracted from the earth by means of washing in common tin pans, and vessels of every kind which can be substituted for them. The finest portions of the earth are removed by washing, and a kind of gyratory motion of the pan: the gravel is taken out with the hand, and the gold is left in the vessels, with a kind of black, ferruginous sand, not unlike that used in writing. The residue (gold and sand) is then left upon a board or cloth to dry, when the sand is blown off with a common bellows or the mouth, while the greater specific gravity of the gold causes it to remain behind. Much of the finest of the gold is thus blown off with the sand and lost.
Vast numbers of the machines resembling nursery cradles are used in this business. The rocking of the cradle answers to the gyratory motion of the pan; the water, mud, and fine sand escaping from the foot of the machine over a series of small cross-bars on its bottom, which are sufficient impediments to stop the more coarse particles of gold. Over the head of the cradle is a coarse sieve, upon which the auriferous earth is placed, and the machine being in motion, water is poured upon the sieve, and the gold, sand, and fine earthy matter is thus taken into the body of the machine, while the gravel is rejected. All these methods are more or less imperfect, and the process by amalgamation with quicksilver has not been adopted up to this date. It is supposed that at least one-half the gold contained in a given quantity of earth is lost, by the imperfect measures taken for cleaning it.
As the workmen ascend the streams into the mountains, the gold becomes coarser and more massive. On the lower portions of the streams, it is found in thin flat particles, resembling small golden fish scales. Higher in the mountains it is found varying in size, from the finest particles to pieces of five or six ounces in weight, and of all conceivable forms. Many of the largest pieces contain small portions of quartz and other granite rock imbedded in them. The coarse gold is dug out of the crevices among the rocks, in the dry beds of mountain torrents, with pickaxes, small iron bars, spades, butcher-knives, sticks, Sic. &c. In many places the streams flow over strata of coarse slate or shale standing vertically, and between the different layers the gold is deposited by the water.
As no one has yet found the gold in its native matrix, a question

ABSTRACT
     Corrosion tests are an important evaluative tool when using
materials for scientific, industrial, engineering, consumer, and
aesthetic purposes.  Tests have been used to help transform natural
resources into construction materials for buildings, bridges,
spacecraft, monuments, computers, medical implants, automobiles,
chemical plants, drilling and mining equipment, and manufacturing
facilities--all of which have an impact on society.  Corrosion
tests evaluate a range of material degradation processes, which
include mechanically assisted corrosion and wear/corrosion
synergism.  Corrosion tests examine the performance of materials,
evaluate using alternate materials, develop strategies for
protection of materials, and obtain corrosivity information on
specific environments.  This chapter will provide an overview for
and a generalized approach to planning corrosion tests.  While
testing of metallic materials is the primary focus of this book,
the general approach for planning corrosion tests also applies to
environmental testing of nonmetallic materials, such as paints,
plastics, ceramics, stone, and fibers.

Commercial intercourse with such a society and the receiving of immigrants from it could not fail to stimulate progressive thought in England. It is evident, too, that such a society could not well pass through the crisis of the Reformation without a paroxysm of persecution and torment.
This was made practically certain by the exposed situation of the Netherlands. I showed in the preceding chapter that, as long as cities like Antwerp or Rotterdam could protect themselves against military coercion at the hands of . some feudal superior, it was possible for them to the Neth- develop a great amount of practical freedom. The "            position of the patchwork Middle Kingdom, be-
tween France and Germany, and without any general head of its own, was wonderfully favourable to such development. But when the powerful feudal superior came, in the shape of the House of Burgundy, the danger soon became apparent. When a proud city like Dinant could be levelled with the ground and 8000 of its people massacred, at the behest of a feudal prince, it was a day of ill omen for human liberty. Far worse was it when the Netherlands came to have for their lord the most powerful monarch on earth. The little finger of Charles of Spain was thicker than the loin of his great-grandfather, Charles of Burgundy. The conflict, moreover, was irrepressible. The revolt of Martin Luther made it necessary for those who would maintain the old order of things to attack the liberties of the Netherlands. Since the suppression of the Albigenses persecution had been spasmodic until the founding of the modern or Spanish Inquisition in 1480; but with the advent of Protestantism it became systematic and persistent. The reign of the Emperor Charles was largely occupied with the attempt to exterminate heresy in the Low Countries. If the statement of Grotius can be accepted, that more than 50,000 heretics were put to death, it was a persecution almost beyond precedent. It was a fit preparation for the most desperate and tragic revolt against tyranny of which we have any record.    Americans must always remember with pride that it
My comment is that I would like to see some preventive measures taken 
to protect senior citizens who invest in the markets.
     
I have been trying to help a 76 year old woman, a widow, who is 
physically handicapped and on a fixed income.  She got conned into 
selling $50,000 worth of good, solid mutual funds in order to 
"invest" in a guaranteed, secure income-producing "fund" that would 
give her a 10% return each year AT LEAST.  She was also assured that 
government bonds were being purchased to further guarantee that her 
original investment would be protected, and she could always get her 
money back.  This was important to her, since on the investment 
company's contract sheet she had listed her desire for safe (no risk) 
income producing investments.
     
This has turned out to be a limited partnership in two oil wells that 
have now gone dry, or are suffering losses in excess of income.  She 
cannot get her money back, she cannot sell her shares in the limited 
partnership, and she has not received any of her income checks for 
months.  The attorney who handled her deceased husband's trust says 
there is nothing he can do but write a letter to the investment 
company requesting that they give her pennies on her dollar to get 
her some money back.  The agent who sold her this investment no 
longer works for the investment company.  The investment company and 
the oil well limited partnership appear to share an office.  They 
have both moved to a new office without notifying their investor.
     
This woman has obviously been a victim.  She has not received 
protection against this securities fraud, and has no apparent remedy. 
 I would encourage Congress and the SEC to work to prevent this type 
of fraud, and to create a remedy that encourages attorneys to take up 
this type of case by including an incentive for plaintiff attorneys.  
I also believe there should be punishment for the perpetrator 
investment company and the agent, as well as the general partners of 
limited partnerships (such as this oil well group) to deter such 
fraudulent behaviour.  Restitution is the VERY LEAST that should be 
done--on top of the lost-but-promised return on investment.

Ion Channel and Receptor  Subunits :
      From   Sequence to    Structure

-Tom McCormack, PhD
  Dept. Pharmacology
  University of  Florida

Membrane  proteins  represent the next wave of  structural  biology.
Since ion channels are among the  most  abundant  membrane proteins,
investigating their structure will be  critical  for understanding  how
they truly  function.  By combining  evolutionary, genomic, structural and
electrophysiological data  we can gain a  greater  understanding of
voltage-gated and   ligand-gated  channels. Evolutionary analysis  reveals
that some ion channel subunits have evolved from ancestral enzymes and 
have most likely  lost  enzymatic  activity, which illustrates the 
serendipity of molecular evolution. Structural data for  membrane
proteins  and their auxiliary subunits can combined with  what was 
previously  known  from classical electrophysiology or  other methods such 
as point mutation. By combing  these  different  areas of  research, a 
more global understanding of ion channels and  receptors  is   now 
possible.

The public is so frequently annoyed by the ill-timed and obtrusive impertinence of Prefaces, Prefatory Remarks, &c, that there seems to be a general inclination to snub authors who " indulge" in them. For my part, lest this same public should say to me, as the old story goes, " Consider yourself insulted, sir!" I should greatly prefer anticipating this with, " Consider yourself cowhided !" and be done with it, thereby saving myself the pain of inflicting, and it the pain of enduring, a " Preface."
" A thought unspoken is as a deed unacteda thing said is done."
But then it is considered necessary that I should announce who I am.
" A Texan Ranger !" to be sure, as any body will be apt to find out who reads my book.
Is this a romance, or are these incidents real ?
A better evidence than my own assertion is that contained in the narrative itself: it bears its character on its face!
Were you ever in the Camanche country, or on such an expedition ?
Yes, both; see the numerous sketches I published three years since in the American Whig and Democratic Reviews, in which I first introduced to their readers those heroic Ranger leaders, Colonel Hays, Major Chavalier, and

As an American citizen I am alarmed by the FDA's disregard for the public's safety.
Genetically engineered foods must be labeled so consumers have choice and more
importantly they must be TESTED for safety.  The fact that these types of foods
have flooded our grocery shelves with little or no regard for public health is proof
of the overwhelming influence that special interest money has on our public policy.

The FDA needs to do what it should have done to begin with and that is to put 
the health and well-being of the American public first by labeling and testing these
unproven bioengineered foods.

massacre. This conspiracy may well be compared to the Sicilian Vespers. The French established at that post treated with the utmost insolence this nation of the Natchez, the most useful and the most devoted to the colony; and they undertook to avenge themselves. Father du Poisson had been requested to remain one day for some ministerial function which presented itself in the absence of the pastor; he consented to do it, and was the victim of his devotion and his charity.
One month afterward, the Yazoo, another savage nation, having entered into the same conspiracy, also slew the French who lived near them. Father Souel, their missionary, was not spared. He was so beloved by the Negro who served him that this faithful slave was killed in trying to defend or avenge his master. About the same time, Father d'Outreleau was descending with several voyageurs from the Illinois country in the interest of the mission, and halted upon the banks of the Mississippi to say mass. A band of the same Yazoo who iad killed Father Souel arrived at the same place with other savages, their allies.   They watched the time when the French, and

Predictions from models on gastric evacuation and bioenergetics: Ices Journal
of Marine Science, v. 53, no. 1, p. 107-114.

Abstract

We compared four different methods for estimating predation rates by North
Sea cod (Gadus moi hua). Three estimates, based on gastric evacuation rates,
came from an ICES multispecies working group and the fourth from a
bioenergetics model. The bioenergetics model was developed from a review of
literature on cod physiology. The three gastric evacuation rate models
produced very different prey consumption estimates for small (<0.5 kg) and
large (>2 kg) fish. For most size and age classes, the bioenergetics model
predicted food consumption rates intermediate to those predicted by the
gastric evacuation models. Using the standard ICES model and the average
population abundance and age structure for 1974-1989, annual, prey
consumption by the North Sea cod population (age greater than or equal to 1)
was 840 kilotons. The other two evacuation rate models produced estimates of
1020 and 1640 kilotons, respectively. The bioenergetics model estimate was
1420 kilotons. The major differences between models were due to
consumption rate estimates for younger age groups of cod. (C) 1996

RELEASE: 02-124

WHITE HOUSE FORMALLY NOMINATES FREDERICK GREGORY
AS NASA DEPUTY ADMINISTRATOR

     NASA Administrator Sean O'Keefe today said the White 
House has officially presented the U.S. Senate with the 
nomination of Frederick D. Gregory, astronaut and Associate 
Administrator for Space Flight, as the next NASA Deputy 
Administrator. Gregory is a veteran Space Shuttle Commander 
and former U.S. Air Force combat pilot, and currently leads 
NASA's human space flight endeavors.

If confirmed as Deputy Administrator, Gregory will serve as 
the chief operating officer for the agency and report 
directly to Administrator O'Keefe. He will be responsible for 
directing and managing many of the programs, as well as day-
to-day operations and activities, at NASA. But first, the 
Senate Commerce Committee must consider the nomination and 
make its recommendation to the full Senate.

"I am pleased to hear that Chairman Hollings has received the 
President's nomination and grateful that his committee is 
prepared to give consideration expeditiously," said 
Administrator O'Keefe. "I look forward to Fred assuming his 
new role at this critical point in NASA's history, and I 
thank Senator Hollings and his colleagues for their mindful 
stewardship of the interests of this agency."

Senator Hollings, a seven-term Democrat from South Carolina, 
serves as Chairman of the Commerce, Science, and 
Transportation Committee, and is the fifth most senior member 
of the Senate.

Before being named to his current position in December 2001, 
Gregory served as Associate Administrator for the Office of 
Safety and Mission Assurance and was charged with the 
oversight of all safety issues within NASA. He developed, 
implemented and managed quality assurance policies that dealt 
with reliability and maintainability.

As a NASA astronaut, Gregory logged more than 455 hours in 
space during three shuttle missions. In 1985, he served as 
pilot on board Challenger during STS-51B. Gregory was mission 
commander for STS-33 in 1989 and STS-44 in 1991.

Gregory was selected as an astronaut in 1978, after a 
distinguished career with the U.S. Air Force. He logged 
nearly 7,000 hours in 50 types of aircraft, including 550 
combat missions over Vietnam. He retired as a Colonel in 
December 1993.

Gregory has been awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal, 
two Distinguished Flying Crosses, the Defense Meritorious 
Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal, 16 Air Medals, 
The Air Force Commendation Medal and three NASA Space Flight 
medals.

His honors also include the NASA Distinguished Service Medal, 
the NASA Outstanding Leadership Award, the National Society 
of Black Engineers Distinguished National Scientist Award, 
the George Washington University Distinguished Alumni Award 
and an "Ira Eaker Fellow" by the Air Force Association.

RE: Docket No. 2004D-0369
FDA's Draft Guidance for Industry: Recommendations for the Early Food Safety Evaluation of New Non-Pesticidal Proteins Produced by Bioengineered Plants Intended for Food Use; Availability

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on FDA's Draft Guidance on behalf of the Izaak Walton League of America.

Founded in 1922, the Izaak Walton League of America is dedicated to common sense conservation that protects America's hunting, fishing, and outdoor heritage relying on solution-oriented conservation, education, and the promotion of outdoor recreation for the benefit of our citizens.  The League has members and supporters in 21 state divisions and more than 300 local chapters in 32 states.  

FDA's proposed Guidance does not meet IWLA policy recommendations as determined by our membership.  Specifically, IWLA policy states:

Genetically engineered organisms (GMOs) have become increasingly significant and could threaten the biodiversity of global ecosystems, local habitats and the gene pools of organisms. Demand for labeling of these altered products is increasing. Production of sterile hybrid seed threatens existing seed-saving practices. Given that many uncertainties exist about these GMOs and their impacts on the environment, the League urges that:

*           An independent federal Council on Genetically Engineered Organisms be established.
*           This independent, nonpartisan council shall establish technical guidance for assessing 
             current and proposed technology, ecological issues, consumer concerns and organic 
             agriculture and wildlife issues as part of a comprehensive, pre-market approval system 
             that promotes sustainability and provides oversight to regulatory entities dealing with 
             GMOs.
*           The scientific community critically studies and evaluates the long-term effects of 
             GMOs.
*           Consumers are informed of what is being consumed, through required labeling, and that 
             they have the right to naturally produced foods.

FDA's guidance does not meet IWLA policy recommendations in virtually any aspect, including:

	*	The Guidance is merely voluntary.  Industry developing a new product is not even required to notify FDA.

	*	The recommended "safety tests" neither provide, nor comply with, any set of standards for testing.  

	*	Widely accepted International Standards for performing safety tests are ignored. 

We recommend that FDA's proposed Guidance be revised as new regulations that provide meaningful protection as detailed in IWLA member policy copied above.

Thank you for your consideration.

plentiful, but all terminated in good humour. The next day the men were stupid from the eifects of drink, but quite good-tempered and obedient; in fact, the fights of the previous evening seemed to be a sort of final settlement of all old grudges and disputes. We did not get away until 3 o'clock p.m., and only made a distance of about fourteen miles. We encamped at the foot of the Cascades, where the first portage in ascending the Columbia commences.
July Ath and 5th. We were engaged both days in carrying the parcels of goods across the portage, and dragging the empty boats up by lines. This is a large fishing station, and immense numbers of fish are caught by the Hudson's Bay Company and the Cascade Indians, who congregate about here in great numbers at the fishing season, which happened at the time of our passing. They gave us a good deal of trouble and uneasiness, as it was only by the utmost vigilance that we could keep them from stealing. On the evening of the 5th we got over the portage; and, although the men were tired, we proceeded seven miles further up the river before we encamped, so as to get clear of the Indians.
