Conformity Magazine - March 2009 - (Page 46) NewsBreaks the specific pathology of Galileo’s eye problems could allow for the formulation of a mathematical model that would simulate their effects, allowing scientists to deduce what Galileo would have actually seen through his telescope had his eye problems not interfered. Galluzzi is reportedly awaiting permission from the Church of Santa Croce in Florence, where Galileo’s remains are buried, to exhume the body and begin his research. failing grade, and warns that ‘American lives are at risk’ due to continued lack of adequate funding consistent with the agency’s expanded mission… The report concludes that the agency cannot fulfill its mission because: 1) its scientific base has eroded and its scientific organizational structure is weak; 2) its scientific workforce does not have sufficient capacity and capability; and 3) its information technology infrastructure is inadequate.” Conformity, March 2008 Five years ago FCC Opens Smart Radio Proceedings “The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has initiated a formal proceeding intended to solicit comments on the use and applications for cognitive radio systems…Through a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking issued late last year, the Commission is seeking comments on ways in which in can encourage and remove regulatory impediments to continued development and deployment of smart radio technologies. The Commission is also seeking comments on a number of technical issues related to the efficient and flexible deployment of smart radios.” Conformity, March 2004 Ten years ago U.S./EU Trade Sanctions Likely Over Banana Dispute “Punitive tariffs on a variety of electrical products is almost a certainty as a result of the failure of the United States and the European Union (EU) to reach agreement on the trading of bananas between the two economic superpowers…Despite last-ditch efforts in January between U.S., EU and World Trade Organization (WTO) officials to negotiate a settlement, the EU has elected instead to request WTO arbitration on the amount of the proposed sanctions, which the U.S. estimates at $520 million. That action virtually ensures that increased tariffs will go into effect shortly after March 2nd, when the WTO rules on the EU’s request.” Conformity, February 1999 Looking Back: Items from Past Issues of Conformity Here is a look back at some of the topics we’ve covered in the NewsBreaks section of Conformity during the past decade: One year ago FDA Gives Its Scientific Capabilities Poor Marks “An internal report of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given the agency’s scientific capabilities a Web Directory Advertisers Advanced Test Equipment Rentals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 37 AR . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 Braden Shielding Systems . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 Bureau Veritas Consumer Products Services . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .17 CITEL, Inc.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .21 Com-Power Corporation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
