Subject: What's in your food? (FDA Dockets 00N-1396 and 00D-1598)

Dear Corporate and Government Leaders,

Neither government nor industry is protecting Americans from the risks posed to human health and the environment by genetically engineered (GE) foods. The Food and Drug Administration's "new" policy on GE foods (proposed January 18, 2001) continues to let the biotech industry regulate itself; it fails to require the long-term, pre-market safety testing demanded by independent experts. The "voluntary labeling" guidelines are a wholly inadequate response to the overwhelming public support for mandatory labeling of genetically engineered foods. Therefore, I urge you to keep all genetically engineered ingredients and crops off the market unless:

1) Independent safety testing demonstrates they have no harmful effects on human health or the environment, 

2) They are labeled to ensure the consumer's right-to-know, and 

3) The biotechnology corporations that manufacture them are held accountable for any harms they may cause.

I am a young college student, and knowing that my elders don't care about the health or welfare of my generation makes me lack compassion for your generation. When you need our support I will think twice about who I am actually aiding. We are the future, but your supporting genetically modified food is robbing us of a life filled with natural beauty and health.

Sincerely

Melissa  Brickl

You are invited to come hear a lecture given by Dr. Haixia Du in the Doppman Conference Room. The talk is entitled: PDE-based Techniques for Geometric Modeling and Medical Imaging.


When: July 7, 2006

Where: Doppman Conference Room
(Located in the Diagnostic Radiology Department, 1C520)

Time: 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm


Abstract:


Partial differential equations (PDEs) are widely used in Visual Computing fields to model geometric objects, simulate natural phenomena, formulate physical laws, etc. To make full use of the advantages of PDE techniques for geometric modeling, I present a PDE-based modeling system employing different types of PDEs for various shape representation formats including parametric surfaces and solids, polygonal meshes, and implicit volumetric models. The system offers a comprehensive set of shape modeling functionalities such as shape design, damaged data recovery, model reconstruction, arbitrary shape blending, manipulation and deformation, as well as shape abstraction. In particular, the PDE-based modeling framework provides a user-friendly environment that allow users to design geometric shapes using sketches, reconstruct objects from scattered data points, recover missing information from damaged volumetric datasets, deform geometric objects by direct manipulation toolkits, offer smooth transitions between blending objects, and approximate medial axes or skeletons for shape analysis purpose. The variety of shape representations accepted by the system also facilitates data exchange and communication among different models. In addition, PDE-based techniques can also be used in medical image processing for segmentation, animation, registration, etc. Part of my current research is focusing on applying PDEs with statistical functions for image smoothing filters and considering partial differential properties for medical image registration.

Time to "let the chips fall where they may."

To look the other way or fail to enforce full financial restitution in 
the matter of illegal naked short selling is to be as guilty as those 
who perpetrated the crimes.

The two sides are lining up: right and wrong … justice and injustice.  

When all the illegal market-making manipulation and broker/dealer collusion 
come to light, there's only one place to be: on the side of what's right 
and just.

Which side will the SEC be on?

The SEC has everything to lose and everything to gain. 

No amount of wishful thinking can turn back the tide now. 

David once slew Goliath with a single stone.  The individual investor -- 
united as a single and effective force -- means to bring down the giant of 
illegal naked short selling today.

                water from Hurricane Floyd as it passed along the East Coast of
                Florida, Sept. 14-15. At a weather tower located between Shuttle
                Launch Pad 39A and Launch Complex 41, the highest winds recorded
                during the superstorm were 91 mph from the NNW at 4:50 a.m. on
                Wednesday, Sept. 15. The maximum sustained winds were recorded at
                66 mph. The highest amount of rain recorded at KSC was 2.82
                inches as the eye of Hurricane Floyd passed 121 miles east of
                Cape Canaveral at 4 a.m. Wednesday. A preliminary review of
                conditions at the Kennedy Space Center was positive after the
                worst of Hurricane Floyd passed. There appeared to be no major
                damage to NASA assets, including the launch pads, the four Space
                Shuttle Orbiters, and flight hardware.

"December 21, Saturday. To-day at noon we saw, dimly looming up from the redness of the southern horizon, a low range of hills; among them some cones of great height, mountains of a character differing from the naked table-lands of the northern coast. The land on the other side of Croker's Bay, with one high headland, supposed to he Cape Warrender, is in view. From all of which it is clear that we are drifting regularly on toward Baffin's Bay.
"An opening occurred last night in the ice to the northward. It is not more than a hundred yards from us, and it is already seventy wide.
" Our men are hard at work preparing for the Christmas theatre, the arrangements exclusively their own. But to-morrow is a day more welcome than Christmas the solstitial day of greatest darkness, from which we may begin to date our returning light. It makes a man feel badly to see the faces around him bleach-ing into waxen paleness. Until to-day, as a looking-glass does not enter into an Arctic toilet, I thought I was the exception, and out of delicacy said nothing about it to my comrades. One of them, introducing the topic just now, told me, with an utter unconsciousness of his own ghostliness, that I was the palest of the party. So it is, 'All men think all men,' &c. Why, the good fellow is as white as a cut potato!"
In truth, we were all of us at this time undergoing changes unconsciously. The hazy obscurity of the nights we had gone through made them darker than the corresponding nights of Parry. The complexions of my comrades, and my own too, as I found soon afterward, were toned down to a peculiar waxy paleness. Our eyes were more recessed, and strangely clear. Complaints of shortness of breath became general.

DB Community,

NASA Goddard is pleased to announce the release of two additional
"Institutional" Level-2 MODIS processing algorithms.  This is the next set in a
continuing setof releases.  This software code is considered Institutional
sinceit ispart of a large, integrated MODIS Operations Data Processing System
(MODAPS) operating at Goddard.  The MODAPS system is used to operationally
process the geo-located, calibrated radiances to Level-2 and 3 MODIS data
products, in a chained production mode.

As institutional algorithms, they will not run in a standalone mode without
environment variable changes, ancillary data sets, math librariesand prior
processing steps. It will therefore be incumbent upon the user to make the
necessary changes and environment set-ups to run these algorithms.
Alternatively, the user may consider using the algorithm source code and the
Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document (ATBDs) as guidance in creating their own
software for processing the MODIS instrument data.

The algorithms are grouped by the PGE (Product Generation Executable). Each PGE
page contains information such as, an overview of the source code, required
inputs, output files, build and run guidelines, and additional related links.
Thetwo PGEs being released are:

PGE17 :  Processes the 6-hourly 1 degree NCEP GDAS forecast data to generate
the ancillary meteorological input required for MODAPS Oceans processing
algorithms such asPGE09.  The input data are generated from model forecasts of
the National Weather Service's (NWS) National Centers for Environmental
Prediction (NCEP) Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS). The GDAS data are
re-gridded and converted from GRIB (GRIdded Binary) format to HDF format.
 
PGE19 :  Smoothes the TOMS Column Ozone Earth Probe data and converts the data
from ASCII to HDF format.for input required for MODAPS Oceans processing
algorithms such as PGE09.
 
Additional PGEs are being prepared and will be released in the near future.  You
can download these, priorly released and future PGEs at:

BIOACOUSTIC AND BEHAVIOR IN THE SOUTHERN FLYING SQUIRREL (GLAUCOMYS VOLANS), A 
KEYSTONE RIPARIAN MAMMAL.

Deborah L. Beal and Tony Meyer
Illinois College, Jacksonville, Illinois, USA 62650, 217-245-3463			
	
						
Southern Flying Squirrels Glaucomys volans are elusive nocturnal arboreal 
mammals which have been identified as keystone species in Riverine Floodplain 
and Deciduous forests throughout the eastern United States and Canada.   Many 
ecological studies of the species have been done but little analysis of their 
vocal repertoire, or predator avoidance behavior exists.  In this study we 
evaluate acoustic and behavioral responses to predator calls among varying age 
and gender classes and document acoustic signals used by flying squirrels to 
communicate.  This information may be important in helping to census and 
identify individuals in the field.  

A captive colony of 16 - 22 individuals of varying ages and gender, housed in an 
outdoor 8' x 8' x 6' wire mesh pen were studied over a three month period. 
	Several different methods were used to acquire acoustic data.  First, 
calls made at random in the colony were recorded and analyzed for 10 days each 
in May, June and July.  Then, individual males and females, and juveniles were 
isolated and calls between the individual and the colony recorded.  Finally, 
predator calls of Barred and Great Horned Owls were broadcast and the responses 
of individuals of varying gender and age were recorded.   Squirrels were video 
taped and photographed during broadcasts to evaluate behavior responses.

Flying squirrels communicate with high pitch chirps and squeaks. Call frequency 
ranged from 4- 24 Hz/1000.   There were significant differences in the number of 
calls made by males and females and the response of each to predator calls.  
Males were more significantly more likely to sound an alarm call than females 
(ttest = .08) in response to predator signals. Infants less than 4 weeks 
communicated with inaudible high frequency calls when separated from their 
mothers (>18 hz/1000). There was some indication that flying squirrels have the 
capacity for ventriloquism such as that used by western ground squirrels. 
Observers were only able to identify individuals sounding alarm calls from 
different areas by watching thoracic movement and sounds appeared to originate 
from outside the pen.  Last, individuals separated from the colony responded to 
colony callers when placed more than 100 feet away which may indicate that sound 
is one method used to join up to form colonies during the winter.

HISTORY OF  NEW SWEDEN.                          419
cfl, through Peter Stuyvesant, their general governor, and his council; and was called the colony of the City. The foundation of this distinction was laid when Fort Casimir was erected, though the execution was prevented by the power of the Swedes. Before, all transactions were in the name of the States General and the West-India Company ; but now their affairs became separate. Deeds on the territory of the city were given in Amsterdam by the burgomasters and council; but deeds on the land of the company by directors and commissaries. A small town was formed near Casimir on Sandhook, and was called Newer Amstel. Christina got the name of Altona. Some Dutch Jews requested leave to settle and trade on the river, of whom two only were permitted.
Of the Swedes only nineteen swore allegiance, among whom were Sven Schute, and Anders Jurgen, a Finn. The others who remained, got their habitations within the colony of the city, north of Christina, and so up the river. Over them was appointed an inspector Goeran Van Dyke, with title of Schout Fiscal, and under him the above Anders Jurgen.
The sixth article of the governor's instructions directs, " that the Swedes should not be permitted to remain in the forts during night; " and the twelfth of the same, " that a watchful eye should be kept on them, and that any who might be found seditious, should immediately be sent to New Amsterdam."* Some Swedes established on the other district requested a prolongation of the time (a year and six weeks) to prepare for their departure ; but obtained only a conditional consent to remove into the new town, and remain there.t Others were suspected of secret negotiations with the Indians, because these still visited the Swedish houses, and were entertained as usual. Sven Schute and Jacob Svenske, as most obnoxious, were accordingly sent off to New Amsterdam. This cunning measure was often employed by the Dutch, who seemed to fear their own shadow.
The attachment of the Indians continued in spite of the revolution, of which the following is a specimen:The 24th of March, 1656, the Swedish ship Mercurius came into the river, not knowing of the change, having a new supply of people for the colony. The Dutch forbid them to go up. But a party of Indians joined, went aboard, and conducted it by fort Casimir to Christina. The Dutch did not fire a gun against them; but resolved to dismiss it, sending it first to New Amsterdam to take in provisions.^ One of the two clergymen who then came, to wit, Anders Bengtson, remained in the country.

ern diver, but marked much the same on the body, the difference being principally in the head and neck-the bill is sharper and finer and the head smaller; but its chief distinguishing feature is the neck, which is covered with long, beautiful dun-colored down for more than half its length from the head downward. I tried to kill one so as to get the skin as a specimen, but after I had fired three times at close range with heavy shot it seemed as lively as if I had not fired at all. I then killed it with my rifle, but the bullet so tore and mangled the skin that it was useless.
"With the exception of a small species, locally called the 'Arctic' trout, fish are not numerous in the district. Schwatka calls this trout the 'grayling,' but from the descriptions and drawings of that fish which I have seen this is a different fish. It seldom exceeds ten inches in length, and has fins very large for its size, which give it, when in motion, the appearance of having wings. Its dorsal fin is very large, being fully half the length of the body, and very high. It is of a brownish gray color on the back and sides, and lighter on the belly. It is found in large numbers in the upper part of the river, especially where the current is swift, and takes any kind of bait greedily.
"The flesh is somewhat soft and not very palatable. Lake trout are caught in the lakes, but as far I saw are not numerous nor of large size. They take a troll bait readily, and a few were caught in that way coming down the lakes, but the largest did not weigh more than six or seven pounds. Salmon came up, I was assured by several Indians, natives of the district, as far as Lake LeBarge, and are never found above it, but Dr. Dawson reports their dead bodies along the river for some miles above the canyon.

QUESTION:
How many experiments did you perform to tes gallilleo?

ANSWER from Charlie Sobeck on February 1, 1996:
Let me answer this questions two ways with respect to the Galileo Probe.

First, at Jupiter, the Probe conducted nine experiments, using six instruments
and some engineering hardware (specifically the Probe transmitters and radio
receivers).  The nine experiments were; an atmosphere structure experiment to
measure the temperature, pressure and Probe acceleration; a nephelometer
experiment to measure clouds; an experiment to measure the ratio of helium and
hydrogen; an experiment to measure the radiation (light) in the atmosphere; a
lightning detector; a mass spectrometer to measure what kind of molecules are
in the atmosphere; a particle detector to measure the radiation above the
atmosphere; an experiment to measure the winds on Jupiter by measuring the
Doppler shift in the transmitter frequency; and an experiment to learn about
the atmosphere by looking at how the transmitted signal is weakened by the
atmosphere.

But if you want to know how many tests we had to do on the ground in order to
build the Probe correctly, well, there were literally thousands of tests! 
Each piece had to be tested as it was built, before we built that part into a
larger one.  Then we had to test the larger part before it too was put into a
larger part yet.  Not only did we have to test that each part worked, but also
that it work under all the various conditions that it would eventually be
exposed to.  For example, we tested the Probe, then we shook it on a vibration
table to simulate the condition during the launch in the shuttle, and then we
tested it again to see that it was still working (because, of course we wanted
it to work after launch).  We tested the Probe when it was cold.  When it was
hot.  We tested the heatshield in special wind tunnels, and shot a laser at
it.  We tested the Probe at vacuum, and at high pressures.  And a whole lot
more!  And of course we also tested all of the various parts of the Probe,
independently, at all these same conditions.  So, you can see why it took so
long to build the Probe, with all the testing we had to do.

Dear U.S.  TTB,

I often review the Serving Facts labels and nutritional labels of the things I eat and drink. You can imagine my surprise then when I noticed that these labels are absent on most bottles of beer, wine and distilled spirits.

As you well know, I am not the only American who would like this information available to me on the bottles of alcoholic beverages. Please allow alcohol companies to give us this information.

Thank you for your consideration.

General Comment:NOTE:  THIS REQUESTED REWRITE CONTAINS ADDITIONAL DATA AND 
SUPERSEDES FAA-2008-0890 AS REQUESTED.

SUBJECT:   AIRCRAFT REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

PROPOSED NEW RULEMAKING:  
This proposed new rulemaking pertains to any FAA 14CFR Regulation covering 
the Certification of, or Required Equipment on, all aircraft registered and legal to 
fly in the USA under, but not limited to, Parts 61, 91, 135, 137, 141, 121 and 
military aircraft.

XX.1 EMERGENCY DESCENT WARNING DEVICE
?All fixed wing and rotary aircraft registered in the USA or its territories, and any 
aircraft of foreign registry that flies over or lands in the USA or its territories must 
be equipped with an operational FAA Approved EMERGENCY DESCENT 
WARNING DEVICE.?

DESCRIPTION:
The EDWD is a unique sounding horn or siren that is readily recognized as an 
aircraft in distress.
The EDWD is loud enough to be heard on the ground while at an altitude of at 
least 10,000 ft agl and a horizontal distance of at least 10 statute miles.
All EDWD devices are required to have the same identical sound.
Initial EDWD will be pilot controlled. Future models may be activated through the 
transponder or some other auto-activation device.

PURPOSE:
EDWD will save lives by giving people and animals time to react to an 
approaching aircraft in distress and seek shelter or get out of harms way.

EDWD allows witnesses to take notice and pinpoint the crash site location, 
enabling quicker response time by emergency personnel, particularly in remote 
areas.

COST:
For new aircraft production the cost per unit will be minimal.

With the correct design, retrofit will also be very affordable.

The first time a EDWD saves one life, or many lives, it will be paid for.

                       MMS AWARDS $1.4 MILLION FOR 
         CALIFORNIA OFFSHORE OIL AND GAS ENERGY RESOURCES STUDY

     The U.S. Department of the Interior's Minerals Management
Service (MMS) has awarded $1.4 million to Dames & Moore of Santa
Barbara, CA, to study offshore development scenarios in the Tri-
County area of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura, MMS
officials announced today.

     The California Offshore Oil and Gas Energy Resources
(COOGER) study will provide information about onshore constraints
associated with five hypothetical levels of offshore development
-- ranging from no new development to full development -- on
active, but undeveloped leases, offshore California, between the
years 1995-2015.  The analysis will consider geologic and
petroleum engineering issues, zoning and transportation policies,
and local, state and federal regulations.

     "MMS initiated this effort in response to local and state
constituents' interests about the future of offshore development
in the Tri-County area," said MMS Acting Director Cynthia
Quarterman.  "MMS, the State of California, the three county
governments involved, and the oil and gas industry all worked
together to define the parameters of the study.  The results will
add greatly to the information needed for future decisions about
offshore natural gas and oil activities.

     "A significant component of the project will be the
opportunity for the people in the Tri-Counties to attend public
workshops to discuss the results of the study," Quarterman said. 

     "The award of the COOGER study reflects an unprecedented
level of cooperation and dedication between the Tri-Counties, 
the State of California,  the oil industry,  and the MMS,"  said
Dr. J. Lisle Reed,  Regional Director for the MMS Pacific Outer
Continental Shelf (OCS) Region.  "This study will provide all
parties with valuable information on the benefits and risks of
offshore energy development and the regulations that pertain to
potential activity." 

     Companies holding leases in the study area are also
contributing funds toward the study.  The final report is
scheduled to be published by July 1997.

     MMS is the federal agency that manages and regulates the
nation's natural gas, oil and other mineral resources on the
Outer Continental Shelf, and collects and disburses revenues from
offshore federal mineral leases and from onshore mineral leases
on federal and Indian lands.
