**ABERNATHY ANNOUNCES IMPROVEMENTS TO WEBSITE**

Washington, DC \-- Commissioner Kathleen Q. Abernathy relaunched her
Commission

website today with several new features to make information and her
office more accessible.

\"With the help and ingenuity of the Commission\'s talented webmasters,
I\'ve added several new applications to my website that I hope will aid
consumers, help increase the accessibility of my office and assist me in
my role as Commissioner,\" said Commissioner Abernathy. The Commissioner
particularly highlighted the \"News You Can Use\" page. In describing
\"News You Can Use,\" Commissioner Abernathy stated, \"Each month on the
web and in my speeches around the country I will focus on one public
interest issue \-- to raise awareness outside the Beltway and highlight
the Commission\'s role and my own views on the issue.\" This month\'s
issue is slamming.

The Commissioner\'s website now allows for a web-based meeting request
form through which interested parties may request meetings with the
Commissioner and her staff. \"I encourage all parties with matters
before the Commission to use this new medium to request a meeting with
my office. Hopefully this will make it even easier for us to gather
additional information,\" stated Commissioner Abernathy.

The website also features a new personalized links section, a photo
gallery, and an intern page. The Commissioner plans for the website to
continue to evolve and improve over time. \"This is a learning process.
I encourage people to visit my website at
http://www.fcc.gov/commissioners/abernathy/ and to email me if they have
any suggestions for further improvements.\"

Invitation to Dinner Meeting

Legal Opinion: GMP-0048

Index: 6.635

Subject: Invitation to Dinner Meeting

FOIA Exemption 6: Names Withheld

January 23, 1992

MEMORANDUM FOR:

FROM: Sam E. Hutchinson, Assistant General Counsel for Personnel

and Ethics Law

SUBJECT: Attached Invitation to Dinner Meeting

This responds to your inquiry regarding whether you may

attend a roundtable dinner and discussion on home equity conver-

sion mortgages (HECMs). You state that Mr. of

, has invited you to participate in a

roundtable discussion on HECMs. Mr. represents

Funding, the servicer for most of the HECM loans insured to date,

and has advised other lenders interested in the HECM demonstra-

tion. The other individuals invited all represent parties that

are heavily involved in the HECM demonstration. No formal agenda

for the meeting has been set, however, an informal discussion

regarding the status of the program is anticipated. You ask

whether you may attend the meeting and accept the dinner under

Section 0.735-202(b)(2) of the Department\'s Standards of Conduct

regulation. After reviewing this issue, it is my opinion that you

may accept the dinner under Section 0.735-202(b)(2) if your

supervisor authorizes you to attend this meeting.

The Department\'s Standards of Conduct regulation prohibits

employees from accepting any gift or gratuity from a prohibited

source. Nevertheless, certain exceptions do exist. Under Section

0.735-202(b)(2), employees may accept \"food and refreshments of

nominal value on an infrequent occasion in the course of a busi-

ness meeting in which the employee is properly in attendance.\"

(Emphasis added). What is contemplated by this exception is the

kind of luncheon or dinner attended by a large group at which the

employee is a speaker or the real working meeting at which food is

brought in to facilitate the continuation of the work and is not

itself the focus of the meeting.

It is my opinion that the roundtable meeting to which you\'ve

been invited meets these guideline. While you will not be the

guest speaker, it appears that you will be asked to share your

thoughts regarding the HECM program. Moreover, the work of the

meeting, i.e. discussing the program and sharing relevant informa-

tion, rather than the food appears to be the focus of the meeting.

Notwithstanding this opinion regarding acceptance of the dinner,

you must still obtain the approval of your supervisor to attend

2

the meeting.

I trust that this responds to your inquiry. Please contact

me or Aaron Santa Anna, Senior Ethics Counsel at 708-2205 should

you have further questions.
### *Propósito*

Preparar buzos Cartesianos y estudiar como cambios en la presión afecta
la densidad, o el peso, de los buzos.

***Para conducir este experimento, mantengase siempre sobre la charola o
cubierta a prueba de agua.***

1.  Si es necesario, llene la taza con agua fria. Aspire y levante
    suficiente agua con el goteador para llenarlo hasta la mitad. (Para
    llenar el goteador, oprima la goma para expulsar en aire del
    goteador y luego sueltela mientras el goteador esta bajo la
    superficie del agua. Para expulsar el agua, oprima la goma
    sutilmente.)

2.  Ponga el goteador medio de agua en la taza llena de agua y observe
    si flota o se unde. Hay que experimentar con el nivel de agua en el
    goteador hasta que el goteador flote con la goma apenas en la
    superficie. Si el goteador flota muy alto, es necesario añadirle mas
    agua, si se unde, es necesario expulsar un poco del agua. Cuando el
    goteador flota con la goma apenas en la superficie, esta listo para
    buzear. **Un goteador mal ajustado no trabajará como buzo.**

3.  Introduzca su buzo en la botella de soda llena de agua y apriete la
    cerradura. (Para niños mas pequeños, use la tapadera con bomba.)

4.  Ordene a su buzo \"a sumergirse\" aplicando presión a los lados de
    la botella con las manos. Ordene a su buzo \"a la superficie\"
    soltando la presión de las manos en la botella. ¿Trabajó? ¿Que
    cambios observas dentro de tu buzo? ¿A que se debe eso?

5.  Si tu buzo no funciona bien, aprieta la botella para elevar el nivel
    del agua hasta que tu compañero adulto pueda sacar el buzo con las
    pinzas. Repite los ajustes del numero dos hasta que logres que
    funcione.

6.  Prepara una serie de buzos para que a tus ordenes se sumerjan
    primero uno, luego el otro, y luego el otro. ¿Que debes hacer para
    lograr que tus buzos respondan a diferentes presiones que tu aplicas
    entre mas aprietas la botella?

7.  Intenta la sumersion en el "*[squidy]{.underline}*" al centro de tu
    mesa.

# 

# 

# 

# *Preguntas en que pensar*

# 

1\. ¿Como se relaciona el comportamiento de tu buzo a tus intentos de
flotar sin movimiento cuando andas nadando?

***Una Explicación***

El buzo Cartesiano, nombrado a honra del filósofo Francés Rene Descartes
(1596 -- 1650), es un experimento de niños viejisimo. El volumen de un
gas disminuye a modo que la presión sobre el gas se aumenta. Al apretar
la botella, la presión es transferida al agua y del agua al aire adentro
del buzo. Mientras el volumen del gas disminuye, mas agua entra al buzo
haciendolo mas pesado y menos boyante o flotante, y por consiguiente, el
buzo se sumerge mas. Al diminuir la presión, el gas se expande,
expulsando agua y disminuyendo el peso, aumentando la boyanza a modo que
el buzo se eleva hacia la superficie.

**Burundi**

**Initiative to Mitigate Acts of Torture and Strengthen Support to
Victims**

**Implementing Partners:** Search for Common Ground, Trauma Healing and
Reconciliation Services, Ligue ITEKA, International Human Rights Law
Group

**Funding Period:** March 2003 - March 2004

**Amount:** \$1,200,000

**Purpose:** Address and mitigate acts of torture and violence and
strengthen the ability of communities and victims to respond and cope.

**Objectives**

-   Expand counseling and treatment centers for women and their children
    who have been victimized by conflict.

-   Strengthen community response, linkages, and advocacy through
    independent radio broadcasting nationwide and across borders to
    Burundian refugees.

-   Expand psychosocial trauma healing through new counseling and
    treatment centers.

-   Broaden a campaign of raising awareness of the brutality of torture,
    improve documentation and promulgation of cases of abuse, and extend
    judicial advice and assistance to victims of torture.

-   Extend services through mobile legal outreach clinics for victims
    seeking legl recourse for violations.

**Accomplishments**

*Recruitment, training, and orientation*

-   365 volunteer listeners and referral sources

-   187 paralegals

-   192 Bashingantahe (traditional community arbitrators)

*Legal assistance*

-   700 victims of torture have been identified, of which 500 are in
    detention.

-   4 lawyers are working full-time on behalf of victims.

-   A preliminary study was completed on needed judicial reforms
    relating to torture

*Social reintegration*

-   10 support groups for victims of torture have been established.

-   18 new listening centers have been set up.

-   157 victims have received listening and or counseling services.

*Awareness raising*

-   Two weekly radio broadcasts of Studio Ijambo (aired on three radio
    stations) have raised the issue of torture, particularly focusing on
    rape, on eight occasions.

-   2,000 prisoners and prison personnel at a prison concert heard songs
    relating to human rights, torture, and peace.

War and endemic violence have plagued Burundi since 1962. The country is
mired in an escalating socio-economic crisis that continues to be fueled
by eights years of instability following the assassination of the first
democratically elected president in 1993. Nearly a million people who
suffered extreme trauma and abuse have been displaced by the conflict,
unable to return to their communities of origin. Even with the signature
of the Arusha Peace Accords and installation of the transitional
government during the later half of 2000, two rebel groups remain
outside the peace process, leading to further insecurity and abuse.

Human rights violations continue on a daily basis. Whether perpetrated
by the army, civil militias or rebel groups, violations of the penal
code with impunity persist. The Victims of Torture Fund-supported
initiative draws on the expertise and presence of several implementing
partners in Burundi. Together they are providing services to torture
survivors and building a community response to the pervasive incidence
of violence and abuse.
**SRTM DTED-2 and NED Data**

**for EOS Core and CEOS Land Product Validation Sites**

The Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) Digital Terrain elevation
Data-2 (DTED-2) are the finished DTED level-2 (1-arc-second, or nominal
30 meter post spacing) processed by NASA\'s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
and edited by contractors for the National Geospatial-Intelligence
Agency (NGA). Elevation spikes and wells that exceed 100m have been
eliminated. Small voids consisting of 16 contiguous posts or less in
extent, have been filled by interpolation. Larger voids, however, remain
in the data. Water bodies have been identified, delineated, and their
elevations have been set to constant values. The SRTM DTED-2 over U.S.
territory are Public Domain data and are unrestricted. All other SRTM
DTED-2 data are only available for limited distribution through written
agreement with NGA.

Source data for the National Elevation Data (NED) are selected from the
available digital elevation models (DEMs) according to the following
ranking (highest priority listed first):

\(1\) high-resolution elevation data

\(2\) 10-meter USGS DEMs

\(3\) 30-meter Level 2 USGS DEMs

\(4\) 30-meter Level 1 USGS DEMs

\(5\) 2-arc-second USGS DEMs

\(6\) 3-arc-second USGS DEMs

Note that the 2-arc-second DEMs are used only in Alaska, and the
3-arc-second DEMs are used only to fill in values over some large water
bodies.

Please refer to the USGS Seamless Distribution system website

Now that the issue of equilibrium profiles is resolved, I have re-done

the HHFW scenarios for the four cases of NSTX equilibria using CURRAY.

Assumptions remain the same as presented in our recent PPPL meeting.

f = 30 MHz, Prf = 6.0 MW

Antenna poloidal length = 0.75 m, launch location : outboard midplane

Initial poloidal wavenumber = 0.

n0/\<n\> = 1.13 - 1.23, n0/n(a) = 0.05

T0/\<T\> = 1.77 - 1.82, T(a) = 30 eV

Case beta(%) N_phi Teo(keV) Ti0(keV) ne0,13 Pe/Prf Irf(kA)

\-\-\-- \-\-\-\-\-\-- \-\-\-\-- \-\-\-\-\-\-\-- \-\-\-\-\-\-\--
\-\-\-\-\-- \-\-\-\-\-- \-\-\-\-\-\--

a 5 12 1.0 1.0 1.182 1.0 389

b 5 12 0.5 0.5 2.364 1.0 170

c 25 4 4.0 1.0 2.16 0.58 267

d 40 4 5.0 1.4 2.676 0.42 59

d\' 40 8 5.0 1.4 2.676 0.50 209

Notes:

Cases (a), (b) and (c) have driven current profiles peaked on axis.

Case (d) results in negative current drive over a narrow region at

psi=0.3. This partially explains the low CD efficiency.

Cases (c) and (d) both record significant ion damping. In case (c).

it occurs at psi \< 0.3, and in case (d), psi \< 0.6.

Case (d\') uses a much higher initial toroidal wavenumber resulting in

lower ion damping, eliminates net negative CD, and higher

CD efficiency.

Wave penetration is as deep as psi = 0.1 in both cases (d) and (d\').

If you are interested in looking at the plots of these results, please

let me know and I\'ll be happy to provide the PS files.

Subject: unfair tax reform

In American History, everything that was passed and considered fair was
under \'majority rules with minority rights\'. Now that we have a
president and cabinet under a religious agenda, it is hard to see how
minority rights are even being considered. It does not matter whether
the president or conservatives feel same sex relationships are a sin.
What is a sin has been determined by a higher power, not a human power.
People want to sit and judge others when they themselves have no right
to judge, and even based on Christianity, no human is the judge.

Why don\'t you consider PEOPLE when you are making decisions. PEOPLE are
who pay taxes, raise children, have relationships. PEOPLE are those with
emotional ties and money. PEOPLE are who you are suppose to be
representing NOT your own personal religious agenda. I am not in a
religion that spreads hatred. I am not in a religion that allows ME a
mere mortal to dictate to others what is right and wrong. It is not my
job to be everyone\'s judge. All those who judge someone\'s actions,
beliefs and emotions needs to be judged.

I am an American with love for all People. It is not my place to judge
nor should it be anyone else\'s place to judge. Because when the
government/ President judge\'s they only consider themselves, not the
PEOPLE who put them in office and definitely not the PEOPLE these taxes
and laws specifically excludes.

Stop thinking about yourself and your selfish needs. We live in 2005,
not 1940 and there is no turning back the clock. We progressed above
hatred, discrimination and judgment to be faced with it again today.

Thank you Mr. President and fellow government officials for showing me
you only think of yourselves but call everyone else sinners!

This law is not for the PEOPLE it is only for those who agree, and when
NOT everyone agrees, a compromise should be reached.

Thank you for listening this time.

The purpose of this document is to show how to create new shortcuts to
folders and other items in Windows XP for easy retrieval later. For
demonstration purposes, we chose a folder on the HQ_Shared area of the
data server in our illustrations. This technique will work with other
folders -- locally on the hard drive or on any data server to which you
have access. It will also work with specific files.

(Note: You must be aware of the location of, and have access to, the
particular item you need.)

1.  Click with the **right mouse button** on the **MY COMPUTER** icon on
    your Windows desktop. This will bring up a small menu (See Figure 1,
    below). Find the menu item **EXPLORE**, and click with the **left
    mouse button** to select it.

2^ND^ DISTRICT, HAWAI\`I

\-\-\-\--

MEMBER OF CONGRESS

**Congress of the United States**

**House of Representatives**

**Washington, DC 20515**

**Speech of Hon. Mazie K. Hirono of Hawaii**

**in the U.S. House of Representatives**

**Resolution to Celebrate 35^th^ Anniversary of the Title IX**

**Of the Education Act Amendments of 1972**

**May 15, 2007**

Ms. HIRONO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to introduce a resolution
celebrating the 35th anniversary of Title IX of the Education Act
Amendments of 1972. Thirty-five years ago, a college applicant could be
denied admission simply because she was a woman.

Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 changed that. Led by the
late Representatives Patsy T. Mink and Edith Green, Congress established
a principle we often take for granted today\--the prohibition of sex
discrimination in any federally funded educational program. The results
are astounding.

In 1972, only 9 percent of JDs were earned by women. Today women earn
almost half of all law degrees. In fact, I am one of the many women able
to go to law school because of Title IX. The story is similar for MDs
and PhDs.

There are also, of course, the athletic opportunities. Here too, the
change from 1972 to 2007 is astounding. Today, college athletic
opportunities abound for young women. And the recent surge in women\'s
professional sports teams could not have happened without the dramatic
increase in women playing college sports.

These successes\--both academic and athletic\--are worth celebrating, as
are the women who came before us here on the House floor as leaders of
the Title IX movement. In 2002, after Representative Patsy T. Mink
passed away, Chairman **MILLER** introduced a bill that named Title IX
the \`\`Patsy Takemoto Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act.\'\' I
have a picture of Patsy hanging in my office. She is an inspiration to
me. And I know that if she were here today she would remind us that our
work is not finished.

There are many problems still to be addressed. Women continue to face
substantial barriers, especially in high wage fields such as science,
technology, engineering and math. Sexual harassment remains pervasive in
schools and on college campuses. Women and girls\' sports teams still do
not receive an equal share of resources.

Title IX is as necessary today as it was in 1972.

I am pleased to have over 100 original cosponsors on this bill,
including Speaker **PELOSI.** I urge the rest of my colleagues to join
me in celebrating Title IX\'s successes and in recognizing the work
still to be done in our march toward equal educational opportunities.
Since Hurricane Katrina hit, the FCC has received many questions and
concerns. We have written the attached two Consumer Advisories to
provide valuable information on two of the most prevalent concerns:

\* To help ensure that consumers continue to have access to
telecommunications services necessary the FCC is providing an estimated
\$211 million in Universal Service Fund support to Hurricane Katrina
victims. <http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/KatrinaTelephone.html>

\* Our Wireless advisory responds to the hundreds of questions from
victims, relatives, and other concerned Americans about placing and
receiving phone calls, restoration of communications networks, bills,
and service contracts, among other issues.

<http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/consumerfacts/KatrinaWireless.html>

Please share these Advisories with your family, friends, co-workers, and
constituencies.

**Project Overview**

The Michigan Office of Services to the Aging and the Michigan Department
of Community Health have entered into this partnership with the goal of
creating a sustainable statewide infrastructure that can facilitate the
integration and embedding of evidence-based disease prevention
programming into the local aging and public health networks. They plan
to implement Matter of Balance, EnhanceFitness, and the Stanford Chronic
Disease Self-Management Program.

The objectives are to:

-   Expand and enhance the capacity of the existing statewide group,
    Partners on the PATH (Personal Action Toward Health)

-   Form community coalitions (under the oversight of the AAAs) to
    oversee local provision of services and ensure that they have a
    sustainable business plan

-   Develop a universal system to use for evaluation and to monitor
    fidelity

-   Develop a template for other AAAs to recreate

**Target Population**

At-risk individuals 60 and older including racial and ethnic minorities
in urban and rural communities

**Anticipated Outcomes**

-   Partners on the PATH will become a line item in the state budget and
    will be instrumental in making recommendations on state policy
    concerning chronic disease

-   Local coalitions will have a sustainable marketing plan and oversee
    classes offered

-   Seniors who participate in classes will reduce their risk for
    developing chronic diseases, adopt better health practices that will
    improve their quality of life

-   Pre- and post-testing will reflect an increased knowledge in dealing
    with chronic diseases

**Evaluation**

The evaluation will include tracking the development and expansion of a
statewide system promoting EBDP programs and a combination of
qualitative and quantitative data collection strategies will be used to
collect information regarding outcomes.

**Local Partners**

Community centers, faith-based organizations, hospitals, aging service
organizations, and others

**National Nuclear Security Administration**

October 31, 2003

The Honorable John T. Conway

Chairman

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board

625 Indiana Avenue, N.W., Suite 700

Washington, D.C. 20004

Dear Mr. Chairman:

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) approved its
Functions, Responsibilities, and Authorities Manual (FRAM) on October
15, 2003 (copy enclosed).

This document defines the roles and responsibilities within NNSA for
assuring safe conduct of work activities.

Completion of the NNSA FRAM addresses three existing Board commitments:

(1) In your letter to Secretary Abraham, dated January 31, 2002,
    regarding closure of Board recommendation 98-1, you indicated that
    your closure was contingent on completion of several organizational
    FRAMs, including one by NNSA. My understanding is that all three
    organizational FRAMs have now been completed and forwarded to you.

(2) In our Quality Assurance Improvement Plan, approved by Secretary
    Abraham and forwarded to you by letter dated November 22, 2002, we
    committed to addressing NNSA quality assurance roles and
    responsibilities in our FRAM. These are addressed in the
    responsibilities sections of various NNSA officials, with emphasis
    on the site office managers.

(3) In my letter to you, dated April 7, 2003, I committed to addressing
    in the NNSA FRAM the NNSA roles and responsibilities for oversight
    of safety system readiness. The NNSA FRAM assigns the following
    responsibility to site office managers: "Appraise performance of the
    contractor against formally established ES&H and emergency
    management performance measures and other ES&H and emergency
    management performance indicators, and take appropriate action. The
    adequacy of the contractor self-assessment process and assessments
    of safety system operability and programs that support system
    operability should be specifically appraised".

NNSA considers these commitments to be complete. If you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

***Everet H. Beckner***

***Deputy Administrator***

We experimentally evaluate a performance and exhaust emissions of a
single cylinder, four stroke direct injection diesel engine operating on
diesel fuel containing 50% volume waste soybean oil (Blend 50), waste
soybean oil containing 50% waste polystyrene pyrolysis oil (Blend PS),
soybean oil methyl ester (VDF) and their water-fuel emulsions. The
combustion characteristics and emissions such as NOx, CO, HC, HCHO,
O~2~, CO~2~ , smoke degree and particle size distribution of exhaust
particulate are compared with the case of JIS #2 Diesel fuel. Fuel
consumption and indicator diagram in cylinder were measured, and carbon
deposit on cylinder head were observed after 400 hours operating on
Blend 50. Based upon evaluation of engine performance and emissions,
biomass blends, and water emulsified fuels appear to be renewable,
ecologically acceptable fuels of diesel engine. Diesel engine/Generator
can be operated on biomass fuels such as Blend PS and Blend 50 to
produce electric power as the distributed power system. Also discussed
are the usability of biomass-based fuels as alternative fuel, as well as
availability for treatment processes of the waste plant oil and waste
plastics.
