eligible 2007-2008 academic year loans from FFEL Program lenders. To

Servicer Code that we use for 2008-2009 loans will also apply to
2007-2008 loans.

In summary, for 2007-2008 academic year loans, please use the following
information to update your systems for the Department's Lender ID,
Guarantor Code and ED Servicer Code along with related contact

*ATP*: adenosine triphosphate, a nucleotide (link) with up to three
phosphate groups attached. The phosphate groups store energy, are easily
broken off releasing energy. ATP stores energy for short bursts of
reactions in the cell. ATP is made of ribose (a five carbon sugar), a
nitrogen base of nucleic acids, and three phosphate groups. If only two
phosphate groups are attached the molecule is called ADP, adenosine
diphosphate. Phosphate groups can be added or subtracted from the
nucleotide base. (Gould & Keeton with Grant, 1996; Solomon & Berg &
Martin & Villee, 1993)
***I.11 Determining main and added entries***

# I.11.1 Applicable rules

AACR2 Chapter 21 governs the determination of main and added entries for
integrating resources. Use the standard rules for entry as outlined in
AACR2 21.0A1 and 21.0B. Apply AACR2 21.1A for works of personal
authorship, 21.1B for entry under a corporate body, or 21.1C for entry
under title.

Apply AACR2 21.29 and 21.30 to identify any necessary added entries.

Note that AACR2 21.30D addresses added entries for editors if they are
considered important, as they often are for updating loose-leafs (AACR2
12.1F3b).

Apply AACR2 21.30J for title added entries. Give an added entry for the
title proper of an earlier iteration in a 247 field. See LCRI 12.7A2.

Apply AACR2 21.28 for related works. Except for relationships covered by
AACR2 21.8-21.27, do not give an added entry for the related work (LCRI
21.28B1). Make reciprocal linking notes following AACR2 12.7B8 (see
*I.10*).

# I.11.2 PCC application/policy

All main and added access points on PCC records are required to be under
authority control and represented by authority records in the
Anglo-American Authority File (formerly known as the National Authority
File (NAF)), with two exceptions:

1)  Uniform title headings used on bibliographic records do not always
    need to be supported by an authority record (i.e., when there is no
    cross reference needed, or no research has been performed that needs
    to be recorded in an authority record)

2)  Uncontrolled analytical title entries (740)

Catalogers should consult *MARC 21 Format for Authority Data,* the *NACO
Participants' Manual*, the corresponding *LC Guidelines Supplement*
("blue pages") and the *LC Descriptive Cataloging Manual*, Section Z1
("yellow pages") to establish name and series authority records.

# I.11.3 Recording changes in access points

When there are changes in the persons or bodies responsible for the same
integrating resource, or to the title proper of the same integrating
resource, do not make a new record. Change the entry to reflect the
latest information and give the earlier information in a note if
considered to be important (AACR2 12.1B8, 12.7B4.2, 12.1F5, 12.7B7.2,
21.2C1 and 21.3B1). Apply rules above for access points.

***Ballad of Pegasus of Apollo, March 1787***

**Pegasus of Apollo!**

A SONG (Tune Black Sloven.)

Come, come my bold boxers, \'tis Liberty calls,\
Hark, hark, how she lustily bawls, and bawls!\
It is high time, if ever for mobbin \'twas time;\
To mobbing, ye chicks of dame Liberty run;\
Scour up the old whinyard, and brush the old gun;\
Freedom we\'ll chime,\
While Tag, Rag, and Bobtail,\
Lead up our decorum, Huzza!

Sure these are the plaguiest of all plaguy times,\
When villains must hang for their crimes, their crimes,\
And debtors a gauntlope of bailiffs must run;\
When rulers will govern, and we must obey,\
And law down our gullets is cramm\'d every day\--\
Rap, Rap, \'tis a dun!\
The sheriff\'s behind him\
We\'ll gag him, and bind him, Huzza!

When the rum is all out, and the cyder runs low,\
And the taverns won\'t sell for ditto, ditto,\
And a man for his victuals must work like a dog;\
Paper-Money, and cheating by law, have both fled,\
To Rhode Island to hive in their G\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\--\'s head.\
Come, come, tother mug!\
Here\'s a health to our master;\
Talk less and drink faster, Huzza!

Then haste to our chiefs, such as never were seen,\
With † hats, and with noddles, so green, so green,\
There\'s the Hind \|\| that\'s let loose of true Naphtali breed\
There are Shayes and Dayes and such pretty things,\
And Grovers and Wheelers and Jewels and Kings,\
Yet dismal to read!\
Our poor brother Shattuck,\
Was fell\'d with a mattock, Heigh Ho!

We\'ve would-be assembly-men, Captains and Squires,\
And the train that Sir Richard inspires, inspires,\
With the spirit of Ely, our Genius and guide,\
No Longer in prison our Gentlemen lurk,\
Nor run from the Sheriff, nor live by hard work;\
Gaily we\'ll ride,\
O\'er Lawyers and Judges,\
And all the Court drudges, Huzza!

Then Senates and Courts to our friend Beelzebub,\
We\'ll drive with the musket and club, and club,\
And in apron and jerkin our governour dress;\
To set in the saddle we\'ve men that know how,\
And make all your ruffled shirts foot it and bow;\
The World shall confess\
We\'ve spirits in hogsheads,\
And cunning in fox-heads, Huzza!

Thus no longer with stocks, and with pillories vex\'d\
Nor with work, jail or sheriff perplex\'d, perplex\'d,\
The mobmen shall rule, and the great men obey,\
The world upon wheels shall be all set agog\
And blockheads and knaves hail the reign of king log\
Under his sway,\
Shall Tag, Rag, and Bobtail,\
Lead up our decorum, Huzza.

† A green bough is the badge of the Mob.\
\|\| Hind of Greenwich, famous for giving goodly words.

New York District 6 Health and Pension Plan Officials

Sued Over Plan Expenses

> **NEW YORK** -- The U.S. Department of Labor has sued pension and
> health plan officials of New York City-based District 6 of the
> International Union of Industrial Service, Transport & Health
> Employees for allegedly paying excessive administrative expenses and
> improperly administering the plans.
>
> "Our goal is to protect the hard-earned benefits promised by
> employers," said Francis Clisham, director of the New York Regional
> Office of the Labor Department's Pension and Welfare Benefits
> Administration (PWBA), which investigated the case.
>
> The department's suit, filed on March 19 in federal district court in
> Manhattan, names as defendants William Perry, administrator and
> trustee of the plans and union president; trustees Jerome Vuoso,
> Ludovic Marcovici and Francis Winn; and the union.
>
> Perry allegedly violated his fiduciary duties under the Employee
> Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by issuing, endorsing and
> cashing 1,100 health plan checks made payable to others during the
> period 1993 to 1999. He failed to collect rent for the health plan
> from the union for occupying a building substantially owned by the
> health plan through a holding company known as District 6 Realty Corp.
> Perry also used pension and health plan assets to reimburse the union
> for expenses not incurred in the administration of the plans.
>
> In addition, the suit alleges that Perry failed to diversify plan
> investments by investing over 90% of health plan's assets in the
> building occupied by the union at 18 East 31^st^ Street, New York
> City. The remaining trustees allegedly failed to monitor, or to take
> steps to correct the improper actions of, Perry.

The Labor Department asks the court to require the plan officials to
restore to the plans all losses with interest or lost opportunity costs
and to permanently bar them from serving any plan governed by ERISA. In
addition, the suit seeks to require that the union and Perry undo any
prohibited transactions with the plans.

> Employers and workers can contact the regional office at
> 1-866-275-7922 for help with any problems relating to private-sector
> pension and health plans. The public should leave contact information
> and the office will return calls in the order received.

ICD-9-CM Coding Comments for Hospital Acquired Conditions

May 1, 2008

Comments on CMS-1390-P

Re: Section II; F; 6 HACs selected and proposed changes to certain
codes.

In the FY2009 proposed rule, the table summarizing the selected HACs for
catheter-associated urinary tract infection lists the CC/MCC codes as
996.64 (CC) and also excludes the following from acting as a CC/MCC:
112.2 (CC), 590.10 (CC), 590.11 (MCC), 590.2 (MCC), 590.3 (CC), 590.80
(CC), 590.81 (CC), 595.0 (CC), 597.0 (CC), 599.0 (CC).

We are interpreting this to mean that catheter-associated UTI is being
identified by the presence of just 996.64, Infection and inflammatory
reaction due to indwelling urinary catheter. Under 996.6 there is a note
in the code book to "Use additional code to identify specified
infections". This could include septicemia or sepsis as well as UTI.

Therefore, catheter-associated urinary tract infection should be
identified by 996.64 with one of the following: 112.2, 590.10, 590.11,
590.2, 590.3, 590.80, 590.81, 590.9, 595.0, 595.3, 595.4, 595.81,
595.89, 597.0, 597.80 or 599.0. We agree that any of these codes that
are CCs or MCCs should also be excluded from acting as a CC if the
condition is a hospital acquired condition.

Re: Section II; F; 7 HACs under consideration as additional candidates.

a.  Surgical site infections following elective surgeries

The table identifying CC/MCC ICD-9-CM codes lists Total knee replacement
as 81.54 with 996.66 (Infection and inflammatory reaction due to
internal joint prosthesis) **[AND]{.underline}** 998.59 (Other
postoperative infection). These codes would not be reported together so
this should be 996.66 **[OR]{.underline}** 998.59.

e\. Delirium

The table identifying CC/MCC ICD-9-CM codes only lists on diagnosis code
for delirium, 293.1, Subacute delirium. If this HAC is selected the
following additional delirium codes should be considered:

293.0 Delirium due to conditions classified elsewhere

292.81 Drug induced delirium

h\. Staphylococcus aureus septicemia

The table identifying CC/MCC ICD-9-CM codes 038.11, 995.91, 995.92,
998.59 & 999.3. To identify the Staph aureus septicemia, 038.11 should
listed alone or in combination with one of the other codes listed. Also,
999.3 was subdivided in FY2008, 999.31, Infection due to central venous
catheter and 999.39 Infection following other infusion, injection,
transfusion, or vaccination should be included in this list rather than
999.3.

MEMORANDUM FOR: Atlanta Federal Executive Board Members

FROM: Donald Arnette, Chairperson

SUBJECT: Atlanta-07 Determined Accord, a Pandemic Influenza Exercise for
All Federal Departments and Agencies

The Atlanta Federal Executive Board is sponsoring a Pandemic Influenza
Exercise that was developed for Federal departments and agencies. The
Determined Accord Exercise was developed at the National level in
cooperation with Health Agencies, the Office of Personnel Management and
the DHS/FEMA Office of National Security.

**This exercise will take place on Tuesday, March 13, 2007, from 8:30
a.m. to 12:30 p.m., in the Sam Nunn Federal Building , 61 Forsyth St SW,
Atlanta Georgia, 30303 Second Floor Conference Room.**

The half-day event will consist of an introductory session, followed by
a three-hour, facilitated exercise period. Participants will be afforded
the opportunity to interact with other Departments and Agencies. The
Determined Accord Exercise scenarios were designed to provide
information and provoke discussion of important topics. There will be a
plenary session at the end of the exercise to discuss issues raised
during the exercise play, share best practices, and to discuss follow-up
activities.

We anticipate and recommend attendance at the highest level of each
agency. Participation by these agency heads will significantly
contribute to the success of this table top. Due to space constraints,
registration will be limited. We may have to place a limitation of only
two persons per agency. At this time, however, we want to assess
interest. Please complete the attached registration form, listing your
participants in the order of priority. Please forward your completed
registry to Robbie Brock at the Atlanta FEB. Her e-mail is:
<robbie.brock@gsa.gov> and her fax number is (404) 321-4270.

As much as possible, we will try to accommodate all interested persons.
Please return your registration priority listing request as soon as
possible. Registration will end when room capacities are reach or by
[close of business]{.underline} Wednesday, March 1, 2007 whichever
occurs first. You will receive confirmation of your registrations after
March 1. Questions about the exercise should be directed to Joseph
Canoles at DHS/FEMA at (770) 220-5453. Registration questions should be
directed to the FEB office at 404-331-4400.

This is a very important program that all agencies need to attend. So,
don't miss this opportunity.

Thank you.

**Labor Department Judgment Restores Assets**

**To Participants of Mich. Corporate Pension Plan**

**CINCINNATI, Ohio** ---The U.S. Department of Labor obtained a consent
order and judgment on May 24, 2002, restoring \$15,179.46 in profit
sharing plan assets from the account of the former owner of Great Lakes
Color Printers, Inc. in Oak Park, Mich., to the remaining plan
participants.

"This action reaffirms our commitment to protect the hard-earned
benefits promised by employers," said Joseph Menez, Director of the
Cincinnati regional office of the Pension and Welfare Benefits
Administration (PWBA).

Assets from the account of now-deceased Jihad Moukalled, the company's
former owner, will be distributed to other participants as restitution
for failure to deposit pension contributions withheld from employees
into the plan. The judgment also appoints Larry Lefoldt as the
independent fiduciary of the profit sharing plan, with authority to
manage plan assets, terminate the plan and distribute its assets to
participants.

A suit filed on April 1, 2002 alleged Moukalled retained pension
contributions of employees in the company's general assets for the
period March 20, 1998 to Nov. 22, 2000. The suit named National City
Bank of Michigan/Illinois, the personal representative of the estate of
Moukalled, in order to obtain relief for the plan and its participants.

The profit sharing plan covered 23 participants and had \$297,005 in
assets as of Dec. 31, 1999.

Menez said the department\'s Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program
(VFCP) allows plans to correct failures in forwarding contributions
withheld from employees' paychecks and certain other ERISA violations.
Eligible applicants who properly correct transactions under the program
will not be subject to the enforcement action and will not be liable for
civil penalties. Excise tax liability under the Internal Revenue Code is
also eliminated for certain transactions.

This suit was filed in federal district court in Detroit, Mich.,
following an investigation by the Cincinnati regional office of PWBA.
Employers and workers can contact the regional office at (859) 578-4680
or PWBA's toll free number, 1-866-275-7922, for help with problems
relating to private-sector pension and health plans.

# Legislative Bulletin.............................................\............April 26, 2007

**Contents:**

> **H.R. 249 --- Amendments to the bill to restore the prohibition on
> the commercial sale and slaughter of wild free-roaming horses and
> burros**

H.R. 249, (sponsored by Rep. Rahall, D-WV), is scheduled to be
considered on the House floor today, April 26, 2007, subject to an open
rule (H.Res. 331), making in order only those amendments that are
pre-printed in the Congressional Record, and allowing one motion to
recommit with or without instructions. Below is a summary of the two
amendments preprinted in the Record. Amendments are debatable for 10
minutes, unless otherwise noted. [Note]{.underline}: summaries are based
on RSC staff's review of *actual amendment text*. For a summary of the
underlying bill, see a separate RSC document released yesterday.

**RSC Contact**: Joelle Cannon; <joelle.cannon@mail.house.gov>;
202.226.0718

***Rahall (D-WV).*** Makes two technical changes to the underlying bill,
which do not change the purpose or effect of the legislation.

**Price (R-GA).** Applies PAYGO to the provisions in H.R. 249, requiring
all spending in the bill to be offset by decreasing spending elsewhere.
Specifically, the amendment states, "No authorization of appropriations
made by this Act or other provision of this Act that results in costs to
the Federal Government shall be effective except to the extent that this
Act provides for offsetting decreases in spending of the Federal
Government, such that the net effect of this Act does not either
increase the Federal deficit or reduce the Federal surplus."

According to the sponsor's office, "In an effort to control federal
funding, this amendment applies PAYGO, requiring that spending in this
legislation be offset by reductions in spending elsewhere."

**Building Emergency Contact Database**

**Department of Homeland Security**

**U.S. General Services Administration**

Until this year, the four PBS NCR Service Centers and the Federal
Protective Service were all using manually prepared telephone contact
lists for their assigned buildings. GSA formed a team to develop a
computerized system that provides a cascade of emergency contact phone
numbers for each building with GSA associates\' home phone numbers
protected from unauthorized access and use. Facility contact information
is now available to any authorized user of the GSA intranet. The new
computerized system eliminates maintaining 5 separate databases and will
be centrally updated. The original idea has accepted across GSA and is
being implemented by all eleven GSA regions.

Put into place in mid-2002, the system provides significant enhancement
to NCR\'s emergency procedures for facility management, and thus is a
critical component of NCR\'S asset management strategic plan.

**\[DOE LETTER HEAD\]**

October 31, 2008

The Honorable A. J. Eggenberger

Chairman

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board

625 Indiana Avenue, N W

Suite 700

Washington, DC 20004-2901

Dear Mr. Chairman:

This letter transmits the enclosed report summarizing the results of a
comprehensive line oversight of the implementation of the Department of
Energy (DOE) Operating Experience Program (OEP) in the Office of
Environmental Management (EM), as committed in my letter dated December
28, 2007.

We initiated a systematic line oversight approach to evaluate the
effectiveness of site implementation by directing EM Field Offices to
perform self-assessments of their OEP, as well as assessments of their
contractors OEP using an EM developed criteria, review, and approach
document. Based on the assessment reports received from the field, DOE
Order 2 10.2, *DOE Corporate Operating* *Experience Program,*
requirements have been implemented and the programs are in varying
degrees of maturity and effectiveness. A review of the reports shows
that while some sites have fully implemented the program, others are in
the process of developing more effective processes to improve their
programs. Electronic copies of the field assessment reports will be
provided to your staff.

We are committed to the effective implementation of the DOE OEP at EM
sites and at Headquarters (HQ). EM policy is to include DOE Order 210.2
in all EM contracts for management or operation of a DOE site or
facility and those contracts for EM programmatic cleanup and remediation
activities. The Order has not only been included in the contracts at our
major facilities, but also in contracts at our smaller sites. The EM HQ
OEP has now been institutionalized in Standing Operating Polices and
Procedures (SOPP), EM *Corporate Operating Experience Program.* The
formalization of the HQ program will help address several recurring
issues noted at some of the field elements.

If you have any further questions, please call me at (202) 586-0738, or
Mr. Dae Y. Chung, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Safety Management and
Operations, at (202) 586-5151.

Sincerely,

***James M. Owendoff***

***Chief Operations Officer***

successfully petitioned Congress to expand the celebration to the entire
month of March. The

theme this year is *Women's Art: Women's Vision.*

"A Woman's Place", an inspiring documentary of achievement of noteworthy
women

and "Lady Bird", a video of one of the most influential and admired
First Ladies in the White

House will be shown at your request.

The gallery is enriched through March 26 with highlights of National
Park Service sites

that commemorates the lives of progressive, talented, and outstanding
women in American

History as well as past and present nationally known women that are
recognized for their

achievements and artistic talents. Brilliant works of art by talented
Cincinnati women will be on

display in oil and watercolor paintings, pottery, needlework,
photography, jewelry, quilting, and

much more for you to see and enjoy.

The site is at 2038 Auburn Avenue, one block south of Christ Hospital.
Tours of the

Boyhood home of the 27^th^ President and 10^th^ Chief Justice of the
