Federal Aviation Administration
Office of Commercial Space Transportation; Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), Open a Public Scoping Period, and Conduct a
Public Scoping Meeting
AGENCY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is the lead Federal agency.
ACTION: Notice of Intent to Prepare an EIS, Open a Public Scoping Period, and
Conduct a Public Scoping Meeting
SUMMARY: This Notice provides information to Federal, State, and local agencies,
Native American tribes, and other interested persons regarding the FAA's intent to
prepare an EIS for Space Exploration Technologies' (SpaceX's) proposal to launch the
Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy orbital vertical launch vehicles from a private site located in
Cameron County, Texas. Under the Proposed Action, SpaceX proposes to construct a
vertical launch area and a control center area to support up to 12 commercial launches per year.
The vehicles to be launched include the Falcon 9, Falcon Heavy (up to two per
year), and a variety of smaller reusable suborbital launch vehicles. SpaceX would be
required to apply for the appropriate launch licenses and/or experimental permits to be
issued by the FAA. The FAA will prepare the EIS in accordance with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA; 42 United States Code [U.S.C.] 4321 et seq.),
the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for Implementing the Procedural
Provisions of NEPA (40 Code of Federal Regulations [CFR] parts 1500-1508), and FAA
Order 1050.1E, Change 1, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, as part of its
licensing and permitting process.
Proposed Action
The Proposed Action is for the FAA to issue launch licenses and/or experimental permits
to SpaceX that would allow SpaceX to launch the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy orbital
vertical launch vehicles and a variety of reusable suborbital launch vehicles from a
launch site on privately-owned property in Cameron County, Texas. The Falcon 9 orbital
vertical launch vehicle is a medium-lift class launch vehicle with a gross lift-off weight of
approximately 1,000,000 pounds (lbs) with a maximum length of 230 feet (ft). The
Falcon 9 uses liquid oxygen (LOX) and highly refined kerosene, also known as rocket
propellant-1 or refined petroleum-1 (RP-1), as propellants to carry payloads into orbit.
The Falcon Heavy is similar to the Falcon 9, except it has an additional two boosters
"strapped on," each booster being almost identical to the Falcon 9 first stage core. The
Falcon Heavy is a heavy lift class launch vehicle with a gross lift-off weight of
approximately 3,400,000 lbs. It has an overall maximum length of approximately 230 ft.
A reusable suborbital launch vehicle could consist of a Falcon 9 Stage 1 tank with a
maximum propellant (RP-1 and LOX) load of approximately 6,900 gallons.
As part of the Proposed Action, SpaceX proposes to construct a vertical launch area and a
control center area. The proposed vertical launch area site is currently undeveloped and
is located directly adjacent to the eastern terminus of Texas State Highway 4 (Boca Chica
Boulevard) and approximately 3 miles north of the Mexican border on the Gulf Coast. It
is located approximately 5 miles south of Port Isabel and South Padre Island. At the
vertical launch area, the new facilities required would include: an integration- and
processing-hangar, a launch pad and stand with its associated flame duct, propellant
storage and handling areas, a workshop and office area, and a warehouse for parts
The control center area would be located inland to the west of the vertical launch area and
would include: a control center building and a payload processing facility; it might also
include a launch vehicle preparation hangar and satellite fuels storage. All facilities
would be constructed on private land owned or leased by SpaceX. The development of
access and supporting utility infrastructure for the vertical launch area and the control
center area may occur on lands outside that which is owned or leased by SpaceX.
Operations would consist of up to 12 launches per year with a maximum of two Falcon
Heavy launches. All Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy launches would be expected to have
commercial payloads, including satellites or experimental payloads. In addition to
standard payloads, the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy may also carry a capsule, such as the
SpaceX Dragon capsule. All launch trajectories would be to the east over the Gulf of

Launch preparations continued Tuesday while SpaceX and NASA worked on the Dragon's software reviews.
Filling of the Dragon capsule's hypergolic propellant tanks was supposed to be completed Tuesday, according to Kirstin Brost Grantham, a SpaceX spokesperson.
The spacecraft was scheduled to be rotated from a vertical position to a horizontal orientation Thursday and attached to the upper stage of the Falcon 9 launcher inside SpaceX's hangar.
The aerodynamic nose cone is set to be integrated to the forward end of the Dragon capsule Friday.
A brief firing of the Falcon rocket's nine Merlin first stage engines is scheduled for April 30. SpaceX conducts a hotfire test of the Falcon 9's engines before each launch to check their health.
A technical review meeting is planned for Friday, and a SpaceX launch readiness review is set for May 5, according to an official familiar with the Dragon mission.
As currently envisioned, the schedule would make possible a launch attempt May 7, assuming NASA and SpaceX finish software testing.
SpaceX's launch on May 7 is booked on the U.S. Air Force range after the May 3 blastoff of a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket with a military communications satellite.

All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club Seating Information
Nineteen grass courts in all comprise the prestigious All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. As with any major tennis tournament, the main court serves as the primary site for the event's biggest matches including the finals. Wimbledon's Centre Court is no different, boasting a capacity of roughly 15,000, and is centrally located inside the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. In 2009, a retractable roof was installed to allow for play in the event of inclement weather. No. 1 Court also is a major site for play during Wimbledon and is able to hold just under 12,000 spectators and is scheduled to have a retractable roof installed down the road as well. Courts Nos. 2-4 are also known to hold notable matches throughout Wimbledon, including many upsets and up-and-coming players looking to rise through the ranks.
All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club General Information
Flash photography is strictly prohibited from the stands. Information desks can be found throughout the grounds for help at any time, as well as first aid posts and lost and found. Re-entry is permitted only with a valid ticket and wristband, which can be picked up at Gates 5 and 13. The following items are prohibited: large bags, weapons, large flags, banners, rattles, oversized hats, or clothing displaying "ambush marketing." The event staff reserves the right to dismiss or refuse entry to any person not abiding by venue rules.
Outside alcohol may be brought inside as long as it is not more than one bottle of wine or two 500ml cans of beer per person.
Cell phones, tablets, radios, and other communication devices must be turned off during play, and must not inconvenience anyone inside the AELTC.
All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club Food & Beverage Information
Several different eating and drinking options will be available throughout play at Wimbledon. Guests can take advantage of traditional restaurants, buffets, self-service restaurants, drinking fountains, caf�s, bars, and "grab and go" options, all of which factor into the substantial number of food and drinks available for the tournament. Wimbledon is said to be Europe's largest single, annual sporting catering operation.
All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club Parking Information

The Research Institutes were created to support NYU full-time faculty and graduate students who wish to have NYU infrastructural support while conducting research abroad. Faculty should be on leave or have extramural funding and graduate students (in all degree programs) should be on fellowship or have other external support.
Research institutes have been established at NYU's sites in Berlin, Florence, London, Paris, Prague, Shanghai, Tel-Aviv and Washington, DC. Most locations have capacity, on average, for five faculty and five graduate students.
Each Research Institute will draw together a disparate group of university faculty and graduate students, with priority given to those who have research-related need (archives, collections, colleagues, etc.) to be in a given location. In the case of Prague, applicants whose interest overlaps with PIDEC (see bottom of page) are especially encouraged to apply. It should be noted, however, that faculty and graduate students interested in spending time at one of these institutes whose work does not connect in any special way to these sites are also encouraged to register their interest; space allowing, effort will be made to accommodate them. Applicants may request to spend time at a GRI Institute at any time during a fall or spring semester for one month or longer.
Master's candidates should apply after consulting with their advisors regarding their research plans. Those who cannot spend time away during a fall or spring semester are encouraged to apply to the GRI Institute in Prague. Space has been reserved at this site during the months of June and July specifically for Master's candidates. Applicants must plan to use the fellowship to write or research a thesis. All Master's candidate applicants can expect to have their advisors contacted for approval prior to consideration. Students graduating in May are not eligible for a summer program. Students may not delay graduation in order to participate in the program.
Faculty and graduate student fellows at GRI Research Institutes are given office space, modest administrative support, one round-trip, economy class ticket between New York and the site (to be booked through the GRI program), and a $50 flat-rate per-diem subsidy intended to partially defray living costs.
All fellows are expected to be in regular residence at the institute, and to participate in its academic life. This program is not appropriate for those who will not be based in the cities to which they have applied.
Click here for HANDBOOK FOR ACCEPTED FACULTY FELLOWS
Click here for HANDBOOK FOR ACCEPTED STUDENT FELLOWS
Applications for all institutes can be submitted on a rolling basis; fellowship notifications will be sent out three times a year (fall, early spring semester, late spring semester). All efforts will be made to accommodate interested NYU faculty members, but as space is limited, applicants are encouraged to register their interest as far in advance as possible.
If you are a full-time NYU faculty member, anticipate a leave upcoming in 2014-15, or 2015-16 and would like to spend all or part of it at one of the research institutes, click here to apply.
If you are a graduate student, anticipate having fellowship or external support in 2014-15, or 2015-16 and would like to spend all or part of it at one of the research institutes, click here to apply.
The Prague Institute for Democracy, Economy and Culture was founded by Jiři Pehe, the Director of NYU in Prague, to further the study of Eastern European culture and politics. Faculty and graduate students whose work connects to the interests of PIDEC are encouraged to apply to spend time in Prague. PIDEC fellows should be working on research projects connected to: the transition from authoritarian to free market democracies; "mitteleuropa," as a politics, concept, and geography; or the processes of European integration.

2012 marks the third straight year that Vestal invited friends, retailers, athletes, artists and musicians to "Vestal Village," a secret camping community constructed on a ten-acre ranch in the desert, coinciding with the Coachella Music Festival. This 72-hour mystical Vestal Village event is not so much a "party," but more of an unorthodox resort community comprised of one unicorn stable and two on-site living environments; a field full of RV's and a compound filled to the brim with 100 tents reminiscent of the occupy Wall Street movement, except with less clothing and more pink flamingoes. Highlights of the weekend include the pop up BBQ 220 restaurant, round the clock open bar by PBR, Titos Vodka, Peligroso Tequila & Sailor Jerry Rum, secret late night performances by Boots Electric featuring Jesse Hughes of Eagles of Death Metal, Shiny Toy Guns, Magic Wands, Robert DeLong & DJ Metric, the legendary "bungee rope slip n' slide and much, much more…

It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is next week, I haven't done a single thing in preparation, honestly I still don't even know what we're doing, if we're staying home or traveling, having company or not. And I am beyond freaked out that Christmas is in 39 days, I have yet to buy a single present! I think it may be time to start a list.
Anyway, while thumbing through the paper I found a coupon for Baskin-Robbins cakes. At first I thought that an ice cream cake would be a cool alternative for a dessert but after seeing their suggestions well, I just threw up in my mouth!
Seriously, does anyone find this greasy looking turkey with a heart shaped wing the slightest bit appetizing? And why is it diving head first into a patch of grass? I guess if I looked like that I'd want to hide my face too.
I'm thinking I've never been that desperate for ice cream and if you know me at all you know that says a lot because I love me some ice cream!
Baskin-Robbins, I'm sorry, but this is an epic fail!

Volusia County Tier One Provider—Why your T1 Provider Should Be One
Written by: QuoteMyT1 Staff - Jul 8, 2015
Why should your Volusia County T1 Provider be a Tier One Provider?
Tier One providers are companies that are well established. They cover large areas of the US--their footprint. Typically, they are backed by much larger telecommunications companies and are, therefore, very well capitalized. As an example, ACC Business, one of our T1 providers, is a part of AT&T that provides business T1s. Other Tier One providers proudly represented by QuoteMyT1.com, include XO, Times Warner Telecom, Level 3, MegaPath, Covad, Qwest and many others.
Absent from our list of Tier One providers are the small "Mom and Pop" providers, some of which may not be in business a year from now. Our Tier One providers are dedicated to providing their customers with the best possible T1 circuit available in Volusia County, Florida. In addition to Direct Internet Access (DIA) T1s, these same Tier One providers can also provide other types of services including Ethernet and Point-To-Point circuits using MPLS. Can the local "Mom and Pop" provider do this?
Tier One providers typically comprehensively monitor all circuits. If the T1 line should have a problem, it is likely the provider knows about it before the user is aware and may even be working on it.
If your Volusia County business requires reliable T1 service, day in and day out, it is best to use a Tier One Provider

Lopez was among the five players who will join 21 existing residency members including Galaxy U-16 forward Haji Wright who earned great acclaim after scoring five goals at the Nike International Friendlies in December. The 14-year-old 'keeper has appeared in five games for the undefeated LA U-16 side that has amassed a 9-0-4 record in Southwest Division play during the 2013-14 U.S. Soccer Development Academy season. The Galaxy U-16's are the only undefeated side in the nation in their USSDA age group.
Among those left off the roster for the spring residency semester is Galaxy U-16 goalkeeper Abraham Romero who will return to train with LA's Academy.
The complete roster is below.
GOALKEEPERS: Eric Lopez (LA Galaxy Academy; Westminster, Calif.), Will Pulisic (Richmond Strikers; Mechanicsville, Va.), Kevin Silva (PDA; Bethlehem, Pa.)
DEFENDERS (8): Hugo Arellano (Chivas USA Academy; Norwalk, Calif.), George Braima (Crew Soccer Academy; Columbus, Ohio), Nikkye De Point (Revolution Empire; Rochester, N.Y.), Tanner Dieterich (TN Soccer Club; Nashville, Tenn.), John Nelson (Internationals; Medina, Ohio), Matthew Olosunde (New York Red Bulls Academy; Trenton, N.J.), AJ Palazzolo (St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri; O'Fallon, Mo.), Alexis Velela (San Diego Surf; San Diego, Calif.)
MIDFIELDERS: Eric Calvillo (Real So Cal; Palmdale, Calif.), Jose Carranza (D.C. United Academy; Manassas, Va.), Kyle Gurrieri (NJSA 04; Totowa, N.J.), Thomas McCabe (PDA; South Orange, N.J.), Weston McKennie (FC Dallas Academy; Little Elm, Texas), Logan Panchot (St. Louis Scott Gallagher Missouri; St. Louis, Mo.), Jaret Townsend (Real Colorado; Highlands Park, Colo.), Devin Vega (San Antonio Scorpions; San Antonio, Texas), Brian Zelaya (De Anza Force; San Mateo, Calif.), Alejandro Zendejas (FC Dallas Academy; El Paso, Texas)

CARSON, Calif. -- On Tuesday, the LA Galaxy made a splash adding Brazilian forward Samuel on a year-long loan from Brazilian side Fluminense.
To learn a bit more about Samuel and his background with Fluminense, I spoke to Jack Lang, a noted Brazilian soccer specialist who has written about the nation's soccer culture for many publications including ESPN, Yahoo and Eurosport.
My conversation with Lang is below.
LA Galaxy Insider: How would you describe Samuel as a player? He tallied just 15 goals in 72 games for the club over a two year period.
LANG: He's a number nine who can lead the line alone or combine with a partner. Much was expected of him after he graduated from youth football, but he hasn't yet hit the heights – as his record illustrates. He did well coming into the Fluminense side as a relative unknown in 2012, netting a few goals, but things were trickier for him in 2013. When Brazil striker Fred picked up an injury midway near the start of the Brazilian season, Samuel was thrust into the frontline and expected to perform a similar role. But he never got to grips with the job, scoring just once after May.
Admittedly he wasn't starting week-in, week-out - but that further underlines the point that he didn't manage to make the position his own. Hopefully the move to LA Galaxy will help him rediscover his confidence and form.
LAGI: During the last year, he's been linked with a number of big clubs in Spain from Espanyol to Real Madrid B, do you feel like this interest may have hindered or aided his professional development?
LANG: It probably didn't help. Brazilian youngsters often have their heads turned by European interest early in their careers, so they begin to dream big before even establishing themselves. Some knuckle down but countless others have drifted into mediocrity on a wave of misplaced ambition. I don't know whether Samuel was one of the latter group, but you'd imagine he will have been brought back to earth by his middling form in 2013.
LAGI: The scuttlebutt on Samuel is that he's been described a talented player but one limited speed wise. Is this a fair assessment?
LANG: I would say so. He's certainly got attributes that will help him plunder goals: he has good anticipation, for instance, and is great in the air. He's also a tidy finisher with both feet. But he's certainly not going to win any prizes for pure athletics; he often looks a touch leaden-footed and isn't one to speed past his marker.
LAGI: Fluminense was nearly relegated a year ago after their poor showing, what's the current state of the club at the moment?
LANG: They had a turbulent 2013, to say the least. Champions in 2012 (their second title in three years), they looked to be ushering in a bright new era on the back of funding from medical insurance giant Unimed. They had invested in proven talent (Fred, Thiago Neves, Deco) new training facilities, while coach Abel Braga was making all the right noises about building a dynasty.
But things went awry. Braga was dismissed in July after five consecutive defeats. His replacement, Vanderlei Luxemburgo, also struggled, leading the side to just seven wins in 26 games. Fred's injury didn't help, while their once-solid defence went missing too often.
They were actually relegated in the final week of the season, only to earn a controversial reprieve in the courtroom. It turned out that Portuguesa had fielded an ineligible player in their last game, and the Brazilians sports tribunal saw fit to dock them just enough points to save Flu's skin. They may have retained their top-flight status, but the side Samuel is leaving behind is unlikely to be too popular among neutrals for the foreseeable future.
LAGI: Several Brazilian players are currently flourishing in MLS, what's the perception of the league in Brazil and the U.S. National Team?
LANG: It's still viewed as something of a novelty by some – a league with the financial power to lure players away (like Middle Eastern leagues often do) but not one with any great footballing gravitas. That's clearly a fairly outmoded view, especially as the MLS trumps the Brasileirão in many ways: bigger attendances (in the last few years at least), better organisation, more advanced commercial streams.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy will take on the San Jose Earthquakes for the first time in 2014 on Feb. 15 in Fresno's Chukchansi Park for the inaugural Central California Cup.
The match is LA's first preseason fixture in Fresno since 2007 when the Galaxy defeated the Fresno Fuego 4-0. LA's match against San Jose is their second announced preseason game as they will take on Armenian champions FC Shirak on Feb. 8 at StubHub Center.
The U.S. National Team opened their annual January camp on Tuesday and U.S. Soccer has provided a brief video update with interviews with head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, Mike Magee, Graham Zusi, and Matt Besler
Check it out below.
CARSON, Calif. – The U.S. National Team has opened their annual January camp at StubHub Center, but as preparations begin for their match against Korea Republic on Feb. 1, more details are emerging of the camp's unique schedule.
The U.S. will train at StubHub Center for a total of 13 days before departing for Brazil where they will train at the facility of Sao Paulo FC from Jan. 13-25 where they will play a series of closed-door scrimmages against Sao Paulo's first team. U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann is expected to take 23 players to Brazil, but could take more depending on the players' fitness levels. Any player that does not travel to South America is expected to continue training in Carson prior to the Feb. 1 match.
"We'll try things out there. We want to get to know the people. We want to build relationships, if it's at the hotel, at the training ground. We want to get a feel for how things work there – for the Brazilian lifestyle, in a certain way – and this is a good opportunity," Klinsmann told reporters on Tuesday. "So we connected it because no other [World Cup] team really has that January camp happening. It's because of the schedule that MLS has gives us that opportunity."
Sporting Kansas City midfielder Graham Zusi noted on Tuesday that the competition between players for a spot on plane to Brazil "makes it all real" for all players involved in the January camp, a sentiment that was echoed by LA Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez.
"I don't know if I'm going to Brazil so I have to keep on working hard and not give Jurgen a reason to say no to me," said Gonzalez. "I have to keep on working hard and everyone is in the same boat here because no one is penciled in. It'll help everyone work that much harder and increase everyone's game."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy bolstered their forward corps on Tuesday with the addition of Brazilian forward Samuel on a year-long loan from Fluminense, but head coach and general manager Bruce Arena says LA won't be stopping there.
While observing U.S. National Team practice, Arena caught up with reporters to discuss the signing of the new Brazilian target forward and without getting into any specifics, mentioned that LA hope to lock down the signature of another forward within the next two weeks.
"We're going to follow up this week with probably another player who can play that position as well. We're trying to shore up our target position," said Arena.
The addition of a second target striker could be a boon for the Galaxy who lacked a significant physical presence up top in 2013 as only 19-year-old Homegrown forward Jack McBean provided a true target forward presence.

The LA Galaxy announced the signing of 22-year-old Brazilian forward Samuel on Tuesday, highlights of the forward are below.
LA Galaxy bolster their attack with the addition of Brazilian forward Samuel on a loan from Fluminense
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy stated that acquiring a target forward was at the top of their wish list for the 2014 season and just seven days into the year, they may have got their man.
LA announced the acquisition of 22-year-old Brazilian forward Samuel on a year-long loan from Brazil's Fluminense on Tuesday. The 6-foot-1 center target striker who tallied 15 goals in 72 appearances over the last two years with the Fluzão will be added to the Galaxy's roster pending the receipt of his International Transfer Certificate and his P-1 Visa.
"We are pleased to add Samuel to our roster," said LA Galaxy Head Coach and General Manager Bruce Arena in a statement released by the club. "Samuel is a young, talented forward with both size and skill. We are confident his addition will help boost our attack in 2014."
Samuel's signature is a coup for the Galaxy as the Brazilian striker who served as the strike partner for Brazilian international Fred at Fluminense had been linked with a number of clubs in Spain, Brazil and China in recent weeks. Most notably, Samuel nearly completed deals to Real Madrid B and Barcelona-based Espanyol, but saw the moves fall through that kept him in Brazil.

Former LA Galaxy defender Hong Myung Bo names his Korea Republic squad for friendlies against Mexico and U.S.
When the U.S. National Team take on Korea Republic on Feburary 1, Landon Donovan and Omar Gonzalez won't be the only connections between the two teams.
Former LA Galaxy defender and Korea Republic head coach Hong Myung-Bo announced his Korea Republic squad for their upcoming friendlies against Mexico on Jan. 29 in San Antonio and against the U.S. on Feb. 1 at StubHub Center. The squad is entirely made up of Asian-based players.
The winner of the Bronze Ball at the 2002 FIFA World Cup with Korea, Bo made 38 appearances for the Galaxy in two years with the club from 2003 to 2004, tallying two assists.

Former LA Galaxy Academy player Paul Arriola's career path could have taken him to MLS, but instead he opted for Liga MX side Club Tijuana, and the one-time LA Academy forward isn't at all surprised that young players like LA's Jose Villarreal are heading south of the border.
Villarreal is the latest in a slew of players who have left MLS for Mexico after he joined Cruz Azul last month on a year-long loan. Although Villarreal left LA on a loan, Arriola opted to sign with Tijuana last May after spurning a Homegrown contract from the Galaxy.
Arriola and Xolos will take on the LA Galaxy in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinal on March 12 at StubHub Center before the return leg on March 18 in Tijuana. Although hypothetically, Arriola could have been lining up for LA in the CCL quarterfinals if things had gone differently, he applauds players opting to play in Mexico.
"It's good for American players who want to take a different route. Sometimes in [the United States] we're not given the opportunity so there are other options and places to go," Arriola told LAGalaxy.com. "Luckily for myself, my opportunity came and I was able to take it. Now here I am [with the first team]."
While Villarreal's status with the Cruz Azul first team remains in question at the moment as he finds his feet in Mexico, Arriola is already in new head coach César Farías' plans after making the game day roster for the club's scoreless draw with Atlas on Saturday.
"It was a bit different last season because I went from a wing player to a second striker who sometimes switches out wide," said Arriola. "It's been different and I'm getting the opportunity to play so I'm thankful for that."
