Where we've been: Attending the fall NIH advisory committee to the director meeting
The National Institutes of Health's Advisory Committee to the Director met last week to provide updates on the NIH's activities to increase diversity, efforts to ensure scientific rigor, implementation of the 21st Century Cures Act, efforts to support the next generation of researchers, and efforts to optimize administration at the agency.
The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology provided written comments to the committee prior to the commencement of the ACD convening. The ASBMB urged the NIH to develop initiatives that support the next generation of researchers and ensure that taxpayer-funded research is rigorous and productive. View the full written comment here.
Highlights from the meeting are below. You can watch a recording of the meeting here (day 1/day 2), and we're including timestamps on our highlights for your quick reference.
NIH diversity working group
- 2:49:43 – Hannah Valantine, chief officer for scientific workforce diversity, reported for the committee's diversity working group. The working group is providing institutional support as well as resources to foster mentoring, career development, recruitment and retention.
- The NIH has developed the scientific workforce toolkit, a central equity committee to provide input and recommendations to help increase diversity, and a graduate student diversity program.
- Extramurally, the working group is monitoring the effectiveness of the Building Infrastructure Leading to Diversity initiative, National Research Mentoring Network and the Coordinating and Evaluation Center diversity program consortiums. Furthermore, an analysis of the NIH's diversity supplemental grants, which was led by the National Institutes of General Medical Sciences, found that supplements account for the retention of 60 percent of faculty recruited through that method.
- The Diversity Program Consortium is moving into phase II. Phase I began in October 2014 and included 10 BUILD institutions with funding that totaled $250 million over five years. The program is structured to track affected students, faculty and institutions to evaluate the effect of site-specific BUILD intervention strategies. One major difficulty has been utilizing the National Research Mentoring Network to rapidly link mentors to mentees online. Phase II of the program will include a limited competition to allow meritorious BUILD sites to complete their experience and focus on site specific data with an emphasis on sustainability and dissemination. There will also be a component for CECs to review strengths and weaknesses of a current center as well as ways to emphasize sustainability and dissemination. The last component of phase II will solicit new projects that focus on translating current BUILD, NRMN and CEC activities nationally. Phase II of the NRMN awards will move from a U54 mechanism to U01 and U24 with emphasis on science of mentoring and networking, coordinating and outreach centers and developing resources.
Rigor and reproducibility
- 3:46:15 – Mike Lauer, deputy director for extramural research, presented ideas that arose from recommendations presented during the ACD summer meeting. As a result of Sec. 2309 of the 21st Century Cures Act, the NIH was tasked with developing methods to increase rigor and reproducibility of science being funded by the agency. In January 2016, scientists were required to report additional information regarding their studies, including biological variables such as sex and key biochemical reagents. These new elements of rigor were incorporated into the application and review process.
- Lauer proposed different options to fulfill the Cures mandate.
- Option 1: add a separate rigor section for principle investigators to describe the project's premise, rigor and biological variables. This section provides more space for the PI to describe the study, and would contribute to the proposal score. However, the new section would duplicate information, increase reviewer workload, and require approval from the Office of Management and Budget to add a new form to grants.
- Option 2: embed the rigor section within the research strategy section of the grant, with new headings for the rigor and reproducibility criteria. No OMB clearance is required for its implementation, but would limit space for the PI to describe their research plan.
- Option 3: include a separate "rigor and transparency" form with detailed separate sections to include premise, rigor, and biological variables. A section to collect granular information, such as the type of biological reagents used and number of animals in a study. This option provides increased transparency of the exact materials used in a study, and allow researchers to find studies based on materials used. However, variables contributing to rigor may be missed.
- The NIH must ensure that any new sections are relevant to multiple scientific disciplines funded by the Institutes.
- The NIH was asked by the scientific community to resource validation by developing an authentication system for biological products. However, the NIH encourages the community to take the lead.
- The ACD is determining effective strategies to integrate rigor and responsible conduct in the laboratory. One recommendation is for departments to begin to integrate a spectrum of ethics training to faculty and students. The NIGMS's new T32 Predoctoral Institutional Research Training Grant could address the integration of research integrity in training. Jon Lorsch, director of the NIGMS, also highlighted the institute's R25 funding opportunity announcement for the development of training modules, resources on the institute's webpage and T32 supplements to training grants to generate new ideas in rigor and reproducibility training.
- Lauer proposed different options to fulfill the Cures mandate.
- 4:39:40 – Additional updates were given on policies related to the age of participants in clinical research. The NIH will be publishing a summary of challenges and themes applicable to ethical issues, study design, and data collection for age inclusion in clinical research, as well as new NIH policy to study participants of all ages. In addition, Congress tasked the NIH to coordinate with the Food and Drug Administration to award grants to develop regenerative medicine therapeutics. The Cures Act stipulates that the applicant must bring in non-federal contribution for every dollar received from the joint grant program. The program seeks to bring in $60 million, with half coming from non-federal entities.
Supporting the next generation of researchers
- 03:48 – Lawrence Tabak, principle deputy director of the NIH, provided an interim report on changes to the Next Generation of Researchers initiative. Last May, the NIH proposed a new policy, the Grant Support Index, to free up funds in support of new and early-career investigators. The GSI presented a rubric to evaluate and cap the current federal funding levels for an investigator. The GSI, however, was met with opposition from senior well-funded investigators and was subsequently replaced by the more nebulous Next Generation Researchers Initiative, or NGRI. Tabak acknowledged that the GSI was one of the most intense things discussed at the NIH in the last 10 years. To avoid another outcry from the community, the NIH developed a working group to guide the implementation of the NGRI. This working group is comprised of stakeholders ranging from a graduate student to late stage investigators. Recommendations from this working group will feed into the ACD, and ultimately advise director Collins. While the goal has shifted from supporting younger investigators, it appears that the new focus of the NGRI will be to provide recommendations that slow down attrition in the biomedical research workforce.
- The number of early-stage investigators (ESI), who have been an independent researcher for less than 10 years, has remained modest since the creation of this definition in 2008. The GSI and NGRI were developed in response to this tepid number, to the Cures Act mandate to support the next generation of researchers, and to the NIH's own objective in its strategic plan (objective #3). While the original and reformed policy appeared to be prescriptive to all of the institutes, "it was never meant to be every single person". The policy moving forward will only be a guide for institutes to implement. Initially, the NIH had announced a goal of funding ESIs and EEIs at a 25 percent payline. However, Tabak's presentation stated that it will be an average payline across the different NIH institutes. The committee felt that they had to shift from re-litigating the specific approach outlined in the GSI, to providing recommendations about how best to prioritize funds to ensure support for investigators at risk of losing all funding.
- While using EEI and ESI as the target demographic was originally the goal of the policy, the working group voiced dissatisfaction with those definitions and wanted to focus on any at-risk population. Rather than anchor those eligible for special consideration on an arbitrary 10-year–from-degree cutoff, the working group proposed that the NIH should consider more flexible approaches to ensure support for highly meritorious investigators that are most at risk of losing funding. It was felt that there is an equal urgent need to stabilize the career trajectories of successful and productive mid-career investigators as there is for new ones.
- As the policy recommendations were being developed, confidence in the NIH's support for at-risk researchers had been diminished. Therefore the working group recommended providing the community with more clarity as the policy evolves and is rolled out. Additionally, the NGRI should be closely tied to diversity, and more attention needed to be placed on meaningful collaborations between senior and junior investigators.
- Moving forward, the working group identified specific data points that they will pursue to craft their recommendations:
- What is the capacity of the biomedical research enterprise to sustain investigators in the long-term?
- What are the gaps in data, and what other influencing factors like participation in team science should be considered?
- What affect has the shift to smaller, stable mechanisms like the Maximizing Investigators' Research Award had on the community?
- What are the best ways to measure and capture productivity? (e.g. Quality and number of trainees, patents, teaching commitments, outreach or an additional productivity section embedded into proposal biosketches.)
- How is productivity influenced by institutional policy, geography or number of grants participated in and level of commitment in said grants?
- How does the inclusion of non-life science disciplines in grant competitions affect funding?
- What is the impact of variation in definitions of merit across review panels?
- A number of NIH programs have successfully increased support for ESIs and EEIs, focusing on the accomplishments of investigators, prioritized projects that address a specific institute's research need, used an advisory committee for oversight and mentoring, imposed selective pay for ESIs, utilized bridge awards at a higher extent and separated the review of established investigators from ESI applicants.
- ACD members acknowledge that there probably won't be a one-size-fits-all process. Having investigators compete among their demographics instills confidence in the funding process. Collins acknowledged that the way the GSI was removed probably contributed to the idea that the NIH was abandoning ESIs and prevented the NGRI from reaching its goal in fiscal 2017. ACD members also pointed out that the NIH has an "unhealthy obsession" with the R01 grant as a metric of gauging support, but it is not the only substantial grant funding opportunity. Instead, the NIH should focus on the first extramural research award within a certain dollar threshold as a better measurement to use as an indicator of career stage.
- While the NGRI was implemented late in FY2017, with only a few months left in the year the policy missed its targeted goals of supporting more ESIs and EEIs. The working group is scheduled to present final recommendations during the ACD's December 2018 meeting with the future of the working group assessed thereafter.
Reimagine HHS
- 2:18:52 – In response to the Office of Management and Budget's directive to improve efficiency and effectiveness across government, the Department of Health and Human Services launched Reimagine HHS. This initiative seeks to identify opportunities to improve the ability to service the American people. The HHS plan began with a series of guiding principles informed by the Government Accountability Office and the Office of the Inspector General recommendations. The ideas received were distilled into 28 solutions and 6 strategic shifts, which will advise the HHS.
- The agency is now in the multiyear implementation phase. The shifts directly related to the NIH include:
- Putting people at the center of HHS programs by supporting people during critical life transitions and expanding services to promote greater self-sufficiency.
- Leveraging the power of data by creating data platforms for analytics and business operations and developing a governance structure to address barriers and protect data.
- Generating efficiencies through streamlining processes focused on grants, reinventing how the agency evaluates and approves those grants, and removing burdensome grant-management processes to focus on actual impact and outcomes of grant programs rather than administrative tasks
- Restoring market forces with a focus on bench-to–bedside and address overlapping and burdensome regulations.
- Moving to a 21st century workforce by modernizing talent and maximizing employee performance.
- Optimize NIH will be an initiative to address the relevant components of Reimagine HHS. The plan will focus on better addressing ethics, Freedom of Information Act requirements and advisory committee management. The NIH plans to begin implementing the Optimize NIH initiative in 2018.
- The agency is now in the multiyear implementation phase. The shifts directly related to the NIH include:

We went to Walker Stalker Con in Atlanta and it was incredible! Listen for our complete rundown of the festivities from The Walking Dead Experience, to Norman Reedus, Greg Nicotero, and David Morrissey crashing Andrew Lincoln's panel. We visited Senoia and saw the Woodbury and Alexandria locations as well as Carl's pudding house, the Claimed house, the Clear set, met tons of amazing Senoians. We partied into the night with hundreds of fellow fans, watched a sad flock of Falcons in the rain, ate awesome BBQ & got completely spooked at Netherworld. Thanks Walker Stalker Con and Hotlanta!...

Entrance Fee
On entering The Galapagos National Park an entrance fee is required to be paid which is not included in the tour cost. This is currently $100pp.
Passports and Visas
UK, US and Canadian citizens can visit Ecuador without a visa, but you may be asked about your reason for travel and to provide evidence of a return or onward flight/bus ticket when you arrive. On arrival in the country, you'll normally be allowed to remain in Ecuador for up to 90 days.
Your passport should be valid for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of entry; this is a strict legal requirement from the Ecuadorean government. One blank page in your passport is required for your entry stamp.
Travel Insurance
Travel protection and medical insurance should be arranged before departure. Please make sure to write down important information such as the insurance company's telephone number and your policy number.
Luggage Restrictions
The maximum weight for your carry on baggage is 8kg (17lb) and the maximum weight for your checked baggage is 23kg (50lb).
In the Galapagos Islands in May / November the water temperature averages 25°C and air temperatures are around 22-30°C. Seas tend to be calmer. Rainfalls are common for a short period of time each day, but the remainder of the day tends to be very sunny resulting in high humidity. Flowers come into bloom and vegetation is more colourful. This is a good time to observe birds mating or sea turtles nesting on the beaches.
What to Wear
Adopt a simple colour scheme for your travel wardrobe to reduce the amount of clothing required. Pack wrinkle-resistant, easy-care cotton/ polyester clothing and bring enough underwear and socks so that frequent laundry is not necessary. Comfortable walking sandals and/or walking shoes or trainers are essential to protect your feet from sharp lava. In Quito especially, layering clothing is advisable with a lightweight waterproof and a warm jumper/sweater.
A good day pack should be big enough to hold your valuables, camera, and things you need while you are out and about.
o Shorts and loose comfortable t-shirt or top for daytimeo Closed toe sandals and trainers. but we would recommend that you bring your older broken-in pair than a new pair that will suffer the damage of saltwater, volcanic rock, and sando Dinner can be a bit more formal, so a dress shirt or a simple sun dress might be a good idea. Most boats do not have any sort of dress codeo Waterproof jacket and jumper, lightweight trouserso High Factor Sunscreen and sunglasses, insect repellent, wide-brimmed sun hat,o Notebook or journalo Toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, hair brush, razor, feminine products and cosmeticso Tissues and antibacterial wipeso Basic first aid kit: medications for upset stomach, prescriptions, aspirin, antiseptic cream, sunburn lotion, cold medicine, vitamins, bandageso Prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses and binocularso Mini flashlighto Converters, adapters, chargers and power cords and spare batterieso Camera and extra memory cardso medications and prescriptions, including motions sickness tablets for the boat and aloe vera gel in case of sunburno A swimsuit. A shorty wetsuit may also be useful if you wish to spend hours snorkelling in the deeper waters where the temperature is around 18 - 23°c;o If you have your own snorkelling equipment and you feel like bringing it with you, do so by all means. Often it is better to have your own equipment with which you are comfortable and certain of it fitting than renting from the boat or a shop.
Remember that in the Galapagos you are on an isolated boat in isolated islands 600 miles from the nearest continent. If you need it, bring it along from home.
Wearing high factor waterproof sunscreen, drinking bottled or treated water, washing your hands properly before eating and avoiding insect bites should keep you healthy on tour.
Malaria is present in Ecuador, but Quito and the Galapagos Islands are very low risk areas. Discuss this with your health practitioner. Cases of locally transmitted Zika virus have been confirmed in Ecuador. You should follow the advice of the National Travel Health Network and Centre and discuss your travel plans with your healthcare provider, particularly if you're pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Any feverish illness during or after returning from travel must be reported to a doctor immediately.
Medical Conditions and Personal Medication
Please advise us before your departure date if you have any medical conditions requiring special attention during your trip. If you have a specific medical condition, it's wise to carry the relevant doctor's prescription with you. First aid kits are provided on the boat but may not have exactly what you need for your personal special needs.
Important: Pack a sufficient supply of any medications you are taking, copies of the prescriptions and the telephone/fax numbers of your doctor. Some countries require that prescription drugs be carried in their original container with the label clearly visible. In the event of you losing your medication, a qualified pharmacist should be able to source a replacement.
Travelling with CPAP or other Medical Machines
Inform The Big Journey Company that you are travelling with such a device as early as possible and well before you travel. This is especially important on board these smaller cruise ships. Also,-Check that you have the correct electrical and voltage adapters for the country and accommodation you are visiting;-Check with your airline that they allow your device to be carried as additional hand luggage and ensure that your device is easily accessible and properly labelled as medical machinery;-Always carry a letter from your medical practitioner prescribing its use for you;-Ensure you have details of your machine separately in case of the need to secure repairs/replacements whilst you are travelling;-Check with your medical practitioner about the use of tap or bottled water in the event that distilled water cannot be sourced in the country you are travelling to.
Please note, if you require distilled or ionised water, you must inform The Big Journey Company of this at least two weeks ahead of travel so we are able to make preparations with our ground agents. There will be an additional charge for this.
Inform your mobile phone company before you travel if you intend to use your phone while travelling. Data roaming is expensive and coverage is poor. Wi-Fi is available in hotels and restaurants. Internet cafes in Ecuador work well and are relatively cheap. The Galapagos Islands are remote. There are only 2 small cities of any size, Puerto Ayora and Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, and when you are cruising the islands there is little if any cell phone coverage and no internet. The Galapagos Islands are 1000 km away from the mainland Ecuador. You will have phone coverage in the cities, but while out cruise the islands... put your phone away, unplug and enjoy yourself.
Time Zone
Galapagos Islands GMT: -7 hours
Currency and Money
The official currency on mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos is the US Dollar. It would be wise to already bring some Dollars in cash with you. You will want to have some cash on you while you are on board and in port to buy a t-shirt, a refreshing cola on deck, etc. The airports in Quito and Guayaquil, as well as the mayor hotels have money exchange facilities. Carry your money, credit cards and the like in a money pouch (held close to your body).
Gratuities to drivers, guides or rangers etc are not included in the cost of the holiday and are given by you to the travel service providers at your discretion. Our local travel service providers are paid well and fairly for their work. However, it is usual for groups to tip guides and drivers and it would be reasonable for each group member to factor in a contribution of around USD10 per day.
Ecuadorian cuisine is diverse, varying with altitude, and associated agricultural conditions. Pork, chicken, beef and cuy (guinea pig) are popular in the mountainous regions, and are served with a variety of carbohydrate-rich foods, especially rice, corn and potatoes.
Please let us know prior to your departure date if you have any special dietary requirements (e.g., vegan, diabetic, gluten-free, etc.). We will make every effort to accommodate your request with the resources available to us.
Drinking tap water is not advisable anywhere in Ecuador, so drink only bottled or boiled water or soft drinks. Remember also that water should be boiled about twice as long when at altitude- it's boiling but it's not as hot as you think!
Electricity in Ecuador is 120v. US travellers most likely will not need a converter or adaptor as Ecuador also uses the same plugs as North America. Non-US travellers will need an adapter which has the "A" type plug with a receptacle that fits the plug of your device. Electricity on board Majestic will be limited. Where possible bring extra batteries and leave hairdryers at home.
The Galapagos is one large photo opportunity after another, and you will return with many photos that can never be repeated. If you run out of memory space, getting more can be expensive or difficult. For those that have quality digital cameras, bringing a wide-angle/macro lens and a 70-210mm zoom lens is advisable. The zoom lens will let you frame animals at any variety of distances, and reduce the amount of camera equipment you lug with you to the islands. A polarizing filter helps to reduce the glare of the sunlight on the water and make the dolphins more visible as well as helping with sunset shots.
Disposable underwater cameras work surprisingly well and let you take photos of the sea lion you befriend or the sharks that make you look twice.
There are many languages spoken in Ecuador. The predominant and official language is Spanish. The second official language in Ecuador is Quichua. Quichua is very popular language in Ecuador and it is widely spoken in various parts of the country. Quichua is an Inca language. There are also many other indigenous languages used in different regions of Ecuador. English is widely spoken and understood.
There are no laundry facilities on the boat.

Development of a Dioxin TMDL for the Houston Ship Channel in Texas
Polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (dioxin) are extremely persistent in the environment, and can affect human health at low concentrations for many years. As a result of dioxin found in fish and crab tissue, a seafood consumption advisory was issued by the Texas Department of Health in September 1990 for the upper portion of Galveston Bay and the Houston Ship Channel System (HSC) in Texas. As a result of the advisory, the HSC system was placed on the 303(d) list and a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) study was initiated. This paper presents the current results of the most comprehensive, aquatic multimedia dioxin study performed in the US and summarizes loads from significant sources such as municipal and industrial WWTPs, nonpoint source, and atmospheric deposition.

Over the last week my G550's power jack has become less and less reliable and eventually stopped charging the laptop at all.
I've seen several discussions about this being a problem but no actual instructions or pictures on how to get access to the motherboard.
Does anyone know anything else about this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Hi MRC1980 and welcome to the Community,
The good news is that the power jack is not soldered to the motherboard. It sits in a housing and is attached to the board by a cable and plug.
The bad news is that you will have to disassemble the laptop totally to get to the jack. There aren't any disassembly pictures or instructions that I could find. The only thing I could find on youtube was to clean the fan.
Hi jack_ g550 and welcome to the Community,
That would be great. It would be nice to know what exactly has to be done to get to that component.
10-20-2011 12:44 PM - edited 10-20-2011 01:00 PM
To get to the power jack, you are removing most every screw on the case. Remove the panel above keyboard that houses power button, then there are more screws beneath it. Then you can get to hinges, unscrew them, find another screw at each hinge after hinge is out of the way. Also unfasten the keyboard, but don't rip it out, to find a couple more screws underneath the keyboard. And finally you can take the two halves of the case apart well enough and get in to disconnect the power jack. The DVD drive will slide out, no screws attaching it. The wiring for the power jack goes to a location by the memory where it attaches to the motherboard. I disconnected the cable by the memory and pulled it through easily.
Should take a week for the part to arrive to me. Crossing fingers that the whole trouble is this and nothing else. Found other thread here that talks about securing the jack better: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/G550-power-connector-is-this-a-weak-point/td-...
Clearly there is a fault in the design of this laptop model, I think, when many people are having the same fatal issue.
Also, now that I think of it: if you wanted to test if this was the problem for you laptop without the trouble of disassembling everything, you could easily disconnect the power jack by removing the memory cover and unplugging it there; then plug in a replacement power jack (which you'd need to order) and test. If all works, you could then go through the bother of taking everything apart (or finding someone to do it).
Thank you for the detailed description! Kudoes for that.
It's also good to know that you can get to the plug through the memory door.
I remember that other thread. I have an x60t that had a loose power jack and it's on a cable. Once in awhile, it would lose its connection, so I epoxied a new connector in its housing. It's tight now. I can see having a wiggly jack would twist it when trying to plug in an adapter and eventually break it.
Older laptops had that jack soldered onto the board. While that made it more stable, when it did break, it was a nightmare to repair. I had an x40 where the jack came loose from the board and it was cheaper to buy a new board than to repair it. I guess that Lenovo is going with the ease of repair as opposed to the stability of the jack.
Anyway, thanks for posting the repair, I know that will help a lot of people.
I've finally received the power jack I bought on eBay, plugged it in and no go.
The laptop still operates normally off the battery, but I can't seem to connect a power source to it. Either the new power jack I received from Beijing (was supposed to ship from New York, claimed the eBay seller) is as faulty as the one I replaced, or there is a problem somewhere else in the laptop in connecting power to it.
So I am hunting for ideas of where else the failure might be. Help?
Did you check the voltage at the adapter tip itself? Your old jack on the board still works, right? Just intermittent? That would say that the adapter is okay and the fuses on the board are okay.
The old jack offers no power; the new jack offers no power. Battery powers up the machine fine; no ac adapter/jack combination does.

It all began with Flight Simulators. I was browsing on YouTube and at the top of the recommended sidebar there was a video entitled $50 overhead panel. After watching and some search engine queries I had found it out was relatively easily done with some low cost (and as it turned out, occasionally high cost) hardware and software.
Skill building
I wasn't starting out completely blind thankfully.

Crazy Backward Policy Toward Bangladesh
It is widely expected that the Obama Administration will act today to suspend Bangladesh from the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) program in response to a complaint from U.S. labor unions. Under the GSP program, some imports from some low-income countries can enter the U.S. market without paying tariffs. (Sallie James has done excellent work describing the pros and cons of this policy from a free trade perspective). Supporters of the suspension point to recent deadly industrial accidents to argue that Bangladesh needs stronger labor laws before being allowed to benefit from GSP tariff rates. In truth though, suspending Bangladesh from the program has zero chance of improving working conditions or wages in Bangladesh.
First off, less than 1 percent of Bangladesh exports to the United States currently enjoy low tariff treatment under the program. The vast majority of the $5 billion worth of Bangladeshi goods entering the United States every year are apparel products, which are exempt from GSP and have always faced steep tariffs. In other words, revoking GSP access is not a very big stick to use to get Bangladesh to change its labor laws.
Second, if access to the U.S market through the GSP program is meant to help Bangladesh, wouldn't revoking that access harm Bangladesh? Indeed, the success of the suspension depends on it. Proponents of the suspension claim that increasing tariffs will prompt the Bangladeshi government to change its laws. This logic depends on the premise that policymakers in Dhaka are less attached to their domestic labor laws than they are to preferential access to the U.S. market. Considering how small of an impact the suspension will have on the Bangladesh economy, this premise is highly questionable. In the meantime, U.S. trade barriers will be working to prevent the development of more industries in Bangladesh.
Finally, even if the suspension is only temporary and successfully meets its goals of encouraging new labor laws, the fact remains that most people in Bangladesh will not benefit from more restrictive labor policies. Sweatshop conditions in the developing world are often shocking to Western consumers, but employment in the garment industry offers an unprecedented level of opportunity for millions of people. This is especially true for women looking for personal independence and wealth they could never find in traditional, agricultural society. Approximately 80 percent of Bangladesh's four million garment workers are women.
Raising tariffs to promote labor restrictions is exactly the opposite of a good policy. Employment restrictions increase the cost of hiring labor. In doing so they are sure to decrease investment. Access to foreign capital and global consumer markets, on the other hand, increases the value of Bangladeshi labor. Greater productivity per capita will empower workers to demand higher wages and better working conditions. Removing the bottom rungs is not going to help anyone climb a ladder, but open trade and investment will give more people in Bangladesh the strength to pull themselves out of poverty.

The North American Sabreliner, later sold as the Rockwell Sabreliner, is an American mid-sized business jet developed by North American Aviation. It was offered to the United States Air Force (USAF) in response to its Utility Trainer Experimental (UTX) program. It was named "Sabreliner" due to the similarity of the wing and tail to North American's F-86 Sabre jet fighter.[1] Military variants, designated T-39 Sabreliner, were used by the USAF, United States Navy (USN), and United States Marine Corps (USMC) after the USAF placed an initial order in 1959.[3] The Sabreliner was also developed into a commercial variant.
Design and development
North American Aviation began development of the Sabreliner as an in-house project, and in response to the UTX request for proposals, offered a military version to the USAF. UTX combined two different roles, personnel transport and combat readiness training, into the same aircraft.[2]
The civilian version prototype, which carried the model number NA-265, made its first flight on September 16, 1958. It was powered by two General Electric YJ85 turbojet engines. The type received its FAA type certification in April 1963. The UTX candidate, designated the T-39A, was identical in configuration to the NA-265, but when the contract was awarded and the T-39A entered production, it was powered by two Pratt & Whitney JT12A-8 turbojet engines.[2]
The civilian production version, or Series 40, was slightly refined over the prototype, with more speed and a roomier cabin. North American then stretched the design by 3 feet (0.91 m) and 2 inches (51 mm), providing greater cabin space, and marketed it as the Series 60, which was certificated in April 1967. The cabin was made taller for the Series 70 and General Electric CF700 turbofans were installed for the Series 75A (also branded as the Series 80).[4]
By 1973, North American had merged with Rockwell Standard under the name Rockwell International. In 1976 Rockwell contracted Raisbeck Engineering to redesign the wing of the Sabreliner series.[5] The resulting Raisbeck Mark V wing was the first supercritical wing in service in the United States.[6] The Mark V wing was combined with Garrett TFE731 turbofan engines, to create the Series 65.[7] Sabreliner models 60 and 80 were retrofitted with the Mark V wing as the Series 60A (STC SA687NW) and Series 80A (STC SA847NW).
Sabreliner production came to a close in 1981. The next year, Rockwell sold its Sabreliner division to a private equity firm which formed Sabreliner Corporation, the support organization for continuing operators.[1]
Operational history
Over 800 Sabreliners were produced, of which 200 were T-39s.[2] A number of retired military T-39s have also entered the civilian world since the military versions also carry FAA type certification. As of May 2007[update], 56 examples have been lost in accidents.[8] The Series 65 was the last series run and 76 of them were produced, mostly for the private market. Monsanto has the oldest continuously operating company corporate jet division starting with its purchase of a Saberliner 40.[9]
T-39s were used in support of combat operations in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. In late 1965 T-39s replaced Martin B-57 Canberras on flights to transport high-priority cargo, such as exposed film from photoreconnaissance missions, from outlying bases to Saigon.[10]
The original Navy version, the T3J-1, redesignated T-39D after the 1962 redesignation of USN/USMC/USCG aircraft, was initially fitted with the radar system from the McDonnell F3H-1 Demon all-weather fighter and used as a radar trainer for pilots of that aircraft. The T-39D aircraft was subsequently introduced into the Basic Naval Aviation Observer (NAO), later Student Naval Flight Officer (SNFO) program. Three versions of the T-39D were used throughout the 1960s, '70s, and '80s: one without radar for high altitude instrument navigation training and low altitude visual navigation training in the SNFO Intermediate syllabus; a second variant equipped with the APQ-126 radar from the LTV A-7 Corsair II for training primarily bombardier/navigators, reconnaissance attack navigators, and electronic countermeasures officers in attack aircraft; and a third variant with the APQ-94 radar for training pilots of the Vought F-8 Crusader.
The T-39N and T-39G are currently used in the NFO Strike and Strike Fighter syllabi in training USN and USMC student Naval Flight Officers, as well as various NATO/allied/coalition student navigators. Foreign students also train in the T-39 in place of the Beechcraft T-1 Jayhawk during the Intermediate Jet syllabus.
The Sabreliner requires a minimum crew of two and, depending on cabin configuration, can carry up to seven passengers (NA-265 through NA-265-40) or ten passengers (NA-265-60 and subsequent models). As a Navy flight training aircraft, it will typically fly with a pilot, one or two NFO instructors, and two to three student NFOs or student navigators/CSOs.[2]
Being derived from the F-86, the Sabreliner is the only business jet authorised for aerobatics and is used by two California companies: Flight Research Inc. and Patriots Jet Team, for inflight upset-recovery training to reduce loss-of-control, involving full stalls, fully inverted flight, and 20-40° descents in a 2.8g envelope, within its 3g rating.[11]

On April 13, 1973, a Sabreliner NA-265-60 operated by Continental Airlines, N743R, crashed after takeoff at Montrose Airport in Montrose, Colorado following the uncommanded deployment of the port side thrust reverser. The two pilots, the only occupants of the aircraft, were killed and the aircraft was destroyed by impact forces and a post impact fire.[17]
On February 23, 1975, a Sabreliner 75A operated by General Motors with registration number N5107, crashed on final approach 4 miles (6.4 km) from Pontiac, Michigan. The aircraft was damaged beyond repair. The only occupants of the aircraft were the pilot and co-pilot, of which the pilot was killed in the crash. The accident was attributed to improper IFR operation.[18]
On December 21, 1975, BuNo 157352, a USN T-39E conducting a Transport Aircraft Commander-Syllabus One (TAC-1) flight, crashed along the Mendocino Ridge, approximately 10 miles (16 km) southwest of Ukiah, California. Two U.S. Navy pilots were killed.[19]
On April 1, 1977, BuNo 150545, a USN T-39D conducting a Student Naval Flight Officer low-level flight training sortie, crashed in the Laguna Mountains 8 miles (13 km) east-southeast of Julian, California killing all five instructors and students aboard.[20]
On April 20, 1985, AF ser. No. 62-4496, a USAF CT-39A experienced brake failure on landing at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport, killing all five passengers and crew aboard, including General Jerome F. O'Malley, Commander, Tactical Air Command.[21][22]
On June 3, 1988, an Ecuadorian Air Force Rockwell Sabreliner NA265-40A crashed in Quito, killing all 11 people on board, including the commander of the Ecuadorian Air Force and a high-ranking officer of the Israeli Air Force.[23]
On July 12, 1988, a US Navy CT-39E ditched off the coast of Vietnam after running low on fuel following failure of the aircraft's navigation system.[clarification needed] The crew of three was rescued by the Vietnamese Navy and returned to the United States.[24]
On May 8, 2002, two USN T-39Ns from Training Squadron 86 (VT-86) at NAS Pensacola, Florida, collided in mid-air during Student Naval Flight Officer air intercept training 40 miles (64 km) off the Gulf Coast, killing all seven instructors and students on board the two aircraft.[25]
On January 13, 2006, a USN T-39N Sabreliner conducting Student Naval Flight Officer/Student USAF Navigator-Weapon Systems Officer low-level flight training crashed in a densely forested area in rural Georgia, killing all four crew members.[26]
On August 16, 2015, a private Sabreliner collided with a Cessna 172 on approach to Brown Field Municipal Airport in southern San Diego County, California, killing the five people on board the two aircraft.[27][28] The cause was found to be Air Traffic Control error.[29]
On April 15, 2019, a Sabreliner 65 crashed about 10:30 p.m. Saturday between New Albany and Blue Springs, Mississippi, killing all 3 people on board the aircraft.[30]
