To Whom It May Concern:

It has been brought to my attention that a new income limit structure
has been proposed for USDA Guaranteed Rural Housing. These changes would
bring about one general limit for households of 1-4 and 5-8 persons. I
greatly agree with this income limit proposal for many reasons.

First of all, in these trying times, it is becoming more and more
difficult for First-Time Homebuyers to find affordable housing with
favorable terms. I am a firm believer that if we set these new buyers up
with decent loans at favorable interest rates and no PMI, the homebuyers
will succeed. I also believe that USDA Rural Loans were created to
satisfy this exact market. With all of the hurdles in place, it is
becoming more and more difficult for adequate buyers to obtain the
American Dream of homeownership.

Secondly, with the collapse of the Sub-Prime market, a shattering ripple
has been sent throughout the entire Conventional market as well. As far
as programs go, all 100% options are quickly drying up. The My
Community, Freddie's and Fannie's are all soon to be, if not already,
non-existent. More and more people are forced to rent, resulting in the
throwing away of valuable savings that our economy so dearly relies
upon. How are these average Americans supposed to prepare for
retirement, if they can't even obtain home loans, which are the
preliminary steps to wealth maximization?

In summation, these new guidelines will help a much broader spectrum of
individuals to obtain this vague, yet unforgotten dream. Even those with
unblemished credit are turned away because their savings accounts aren't
big enough. If our housing market is to be corrected, it will start with
the bottom of the barrel. If First-Time Homebuyers can't purchase homes,
then those up the ladder do not sell, further inhibiting their ability
to purchase a larger home themselves. This is "Trickle-Up Economics." I
believe that this change, no matter how drastic it may appear to
lawmakers is vital. All of the other bills that have been passed only
seem to help a fraction of our population. Well that is just not
satisfying to me. We need more, and it needs to start right here.

Thanks for your time and have a great day!

Sincerely,

Tommy N. Lusk, II

# Introduction

This document explains "what's new" with the next release of SPS (RelP
11.0) from the perspective of SPS users (including DEO and CO user
roles). This new release provides support for stronger versions of
cryptographic components (2048-bit keys and SHA-2). The normal SPS
activity remains unchanged. This document also contains information
about upcoming changes to SPS, and to the list of supported operating
systems and Java Plug-ins.

This new release is expected to be available on Monday June 9, 2008.

# What's New 

0.  ***All Roles -- SPS Configuration files need to be updated***

All SPS installations have configuration files that need to be
periodically updated. The current release of SPS includes "Auto
Distributor" functionality that warns the user with a pop-up screen
similar to the one shown in Figure 1, to let users know that their SPS
installation needs an update soon.

> ![](media/image1.png){width="5.991666666666666in"
> height="2.410416666666667in"}

Figure 1: SPS Software Update Required Pop-up

Note that the exact text in the "SPS Software Update Required" popup may
be different from the one shown in Figure 1: the date/time of the expiry
may be different and in the future, the list of expiring software items
may be different and could include (Java Plug-in, SPS Keystore
Production Keystore File, and SPS Policy File Production Policy File)
The buttons in the "SPS Software Update Required" popup may be different
from the one shown in Figure 1: the "Download and Start SPS" button may
be disabled.

To update SPS installations to the latest version, end users are
recommended to use the latest "SPS Installation CD" provided by your
servicing RFC and follow instructions provided on that CD.

# Upcoming Changes to SPS

The next release of SPS is expected to offer functional enhancements and
bug fixes.

Windows XP (with latest patches and updates) is the only supported
Operating System for SPS. Even though our official support will be
dropped for Windows 2000, we expect (but can not guarantee) SPS to
continue to function with Windows 2000 Operating System after June 2007.
The support for Windows XP is expected to continue for the foreseeable
future. SPS support for the new Windows Vista Operating System is
expected to be available in 2009.

SPS supports Java Plug-in 1.5.0_11. SPS support for the new Java plug-in
version 1.6.0_x is, expected to be available mid to late 2008. Note that
SPS no longer supports the Java Plug-in version 1.3.x_y or 1.4.x_y.

Oxidation and Mobilization of Selenium by Nitrate-A Preliminary
Evaluation

Winfield G. Wright

ABSTRACT

A preliminary evaluation of analytical and thermodynamic data indicate
that elevated concentrations of nitrate in ground water could oxidize
and mobilize selenium. Ground-water-quality data from irrigated land
underlain by Mancos Shale of Cretaceous age in western Colorado
(investigated as part of the Department of the Interior National
Irrigation Water-Quality Program) indicate that concentrations of
dissolved selenium are positively correlated with dissolved nitrate plus
nitrite (r=0.65, n=39). Water quality data in the U.S. Geological Survey
data bases from Colorado and Wyoming indicate that concentrations of
dissolved selenium are positively correlated with dissolved nitrate plus
nitrite in ground water (Colorado\--r=0.48, n=371; Wyoming\--r=0.99,
n=94). Dissolved selenium and nitrate plus nitrite also are positively
correlated in surface water (Colorado\--r=0.68, n=156; Wyoming\--r=0.74,
n=43). Thermodynamic relations for the oxidation of selenium by nitrate
indicate that reduced-selenium species could be oxidized by nitrate and
nitrite. Theoretical energies for some of the reactions nearly equal the
energy available for oxidation of selenium by dissolved oxygen. However,
observations of ground-water data indicate that if the aqueous
geochemical conditions are sufficiently reducing (redox potential \< 300
millivolts), the dissolved nitrogen species are reduced to NH3 and N2,
and selenium also is reduced out of solution. The oxidation of selenium
by nitrate is particularly pronounced where elevated nitrate
concentrations occur in ground water that flows through shale bedrock.
Selenium that occurs as a trace element in pyrite in shale bedrock could
be readily oxidized by dissolved nitrate in ground water. Direct
research is currently underway to investigate the oxidation of selenium
by nitrate.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A WEATHER RADIO

**PEARL**---Searching for that perfect stocking stuffer? The Mississippi
Emergency Management Agency (MEMA) and the National Weather Service
Office in Jackson offer this suggestion: a NOAA weather radio.

"Weather radios offer the earliest possible warning for any sort of
severe weather, and early warnings have proven time and time again to
save lives in Mississippi," said MEMA Director Mike Womack. "And they're
great gifts because severe weather, including ice storms and tornadoes,
can and does strike our state during the winter. Plus, you'll be
prepared for next year's spring storms and hurricane season."

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) manages a
nationwide network of radio stations broadcasting continuous weather
information directly from a nearby National Weather Service (NWS)
office. The network broadcasts weather warnings, watches, forecasts and
other hazard information 24 hours a day.

"It's an all-hazards radio network. That means you receive not only
weather information, but also warnings about chemical spills, AMBER
alerts and other events that may threaten public safety," Womack said.

"The public communication system we have is excellent, and the radio
signal can be received in almost every place in Mississippi," said Alan
Gerard, meteorologist-in-charge at the NWS office in Jackson. "NOAA
weather radios save lives. They should be as common in homes and public
places as smoke detectors."

Today's radios are programmable so you can receive county-specific
alerts. They typically cost \$30 to \$150 depending on features and can
be purchased at most stores that sell electronics. Many can run on
batteries, making them ideal for use when traveling or when the power
goes out during severe weather.

For more information on NOAA Weather Radios including transmitter
locations and frequencies, log on to the National Weather Service in
Jackson Web site at
[www.srh.weather.gov/jan](http://www.srh.weather.gov/jan), and click the
"NOAA Weather Radio" link on the left-hand side of the page.

MEMA and the National Weather Service urge all individuals, families and
businesses to include a NOAA weather radio as part of their emergency
supply kit.

If you do not have a weather radio or cannot purchase one, it is
recommended that you keep a battery-powered radio to be able to hear
weather watches and warnings as local radio stations broadcast them.

To learn more about what you need to do to protect yourself and your
family from severe weather threats, visit MEMA online at

**Leaves of Grass, Leaves of Glass:**

**What can Walt Whitman tell us about the Web?**

David M. Levy

**Abstract**

Well before the World Wide Web came into existence, books had begun to
migrate from paper to digital form. Today, many of the classic works of
literature are freely available for downloading and printing. No one,
however, is quite sure whether people will want to read extensively
online, how the online reading experience will differ from earlier,
paper-based practices, or why we should care. It may be too early for
definitive answers to such questions, but it isn't too early, I believe,
to reflect on our own experience.

In this talk, I will explore one particular work, Walt Whitman's "Leaves
of Grass," which began its life as a printed book and can now be found
on the Web. Through textual analysis, historical exploration, and
personal introspection, I will examine one particular print copy of
"Leaves of Grass" (my childhood copy) and will compare it with the
online edition in the Bartleby Library. In the process, I will touch on
various questions raised by the movement to digital formats: To what
extent can form be divorced from content? What is the place of
materiality in an increasingly digital world? And more specifically,
does it matter whether we read "Leaves of Grass" online or as a
traditional book?

**Bio**

David Levy is a professor in the Information School of the University of
Washington. He holds a Ph.D. from Stanford University in computer
science (1979) and a Diploma in calligraphy and bookbinding from the
Roehampton Institute, London (1982). For fifteen years (until December,
1999), he was a researcher at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center
(PARC). He was a co-author of the National Research Council study,
\"LC21: A Digital Strategy for the Library of Congress.\" His book,
\"Scrolling Forward: Making Sense of Documents in the Digital Age\"
(Arcade Publishing), has just been published.

"Small businesses that suffered economic injury losses as a result of
the disaster and want to apply for a low-interest loan from the SBA are
urged to do so before the **July 25, 2007** deadline," said Frank
Skaggs, Director of SBA Field Operations Center East**.**

Small businesses may apply for a loan up to \$l.5 million if they
suffered substantial economic injury from the disaster. These working
capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable,
and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.
These loans are not intended to replace lost sales or profits.

The interest rate on these loans is 4 percent, with a maximum term of 30
years. The SBA determines the amount of economic injury and the terms of
each loan based on the financial circumstances of each borrower.

To obtain a loan application, interested business owners should contact
SBA's Customer Service Center by calling 800-659-2955 (1-800-877-8339
for the hearing-impaired), Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT. Business disaster loan
applications can also be downloaded from the SBA's website at
[www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance](http://www.sba.gov/services/disasterassistance).
Completed applications should be mailed to: U.S. Small Business
Administration, Processing and Disbursement Center, 14925 Kingsport
Road, Fort Worth, TX 76155.

**The filing deadline for economic injury loan applications is [July 25,

**December 19, 2008 MORTGAGEE LETTER 2008-41**

**TO: ALL APPROVED MORTGAGEES**

**SUBJECT: Termination of *FHASecure***

While FHA will retain its standard rate-and-term refinance program for
borrowers who are current on their existing mortgages, the *FHASecure*
program under which FHA was able to insure refinance transactions for
borrows delinquent on their mortgages, will terminate on December 31,
2008, as per FHA's initial guidance. Maintaining the program past the
original termination date would have a negative financial impact on the
MMI Fund that would have to be offset by either substantial
across-the-board single family program premium increases or the
suspension of FHA's single family insurance programs altogether.

[Timing]{.underline}

As of December 31, 2008, FHA will not issue any new case numbers for
lenders seeking to refinance borrowers into *FHASecure* loans. Any loans
for which the lender has requested a case number and taken a loan
application prior to December 31, 2008 may be processed and will be
insured by FHA.

[Other Refinance Options]{.underline}

**[Please note]{.underline}**: FHA will retain its standard
rate-and-term refinance program, as well as cash-out and streamlined
refinance products. The standard rate-and-term refinance product is
available to borrowers who are current on their existing mortgages. The
policy guidance associated with these other refinance programs
(Mortgagee Letter 08-40 and 05-43) remain in effect. Further, the HOPE
for Homeowners program is available to help borrowers who may be
delinquent on their current mortgages. FHA encourages lenders to
consider this product for meeting the needs of distressed homeowners.

If you have any questions regarding this Mortgagee Letter, please
contact the FHA Resource Center at 1-800-CALL-FHA (1-800-225-5342).
Persons with hearing or speech impairments may access this number via

**USDA ANNOUNCES SPECIAL LIMITED GLOBAL IMPORT QUOTA FOR UPLAND COTTON**

WASHINGTON, March 3, 2008 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture today
announced a special quota that will allow additional U.S. imports of up
to 196,793,560 pounds (89,263,986 kilograms) of upland cotton. The quota
will be in effect for 90 days.

The quantity of upland cotton that may be imported is in addition to the
20,581,400-pound (9,335,558-kilogram) quota established pursuant to
section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act of 1933, as amended. The
quota is in effect from March 6 through June 3, 2008. To be counted
under this quota, cotton must be imported within this time period.

The Agricultural Act for 1949, as amended, requires the President to
establish an import quota program which provides that, whenever the
Secretary of Agriculture determines and announces that the average price
of the base quality of upland cotton in the designated spot markets for
a month exceeded 130 percent of the average price of such quality of
cotton in such markets for the preceding 36 months, a special limited
global import quota shall take effect.

In February, the average spot market price for Strict Low Middling (SLM)
1-1/16 inch (leaf grade 4, micronaire 3.5-3.6 and 4.3-4.9, strength
24-25 grams per tex) upland cotton was 65.9 cents per pound, which was
131 percent of the February 2005 through January 2008 average price.

The 1949 Act also requires the amount of the special quota to be equal
to 21 days of domestic mill consumption of upland cotton at the
seasonally-adjusted average rate of the most recent three months for
which data are available. The figure of 196,793,560 pounds (89,263,986
kilograms) is based on consumption from August 2006 through October
2006.

The special quota is not specific as to staple length or country of
origin and it does not affect tariff rates or phytosanitary regulations.

#####  Lawrenceville nurse races to rescue victim from car accident 

##### 

ATLANTA, GA -- Performing great deeds is nothing new for the men and
women who work at the Atlanta VAMC. Burrell Whittaker, who works at the
Lawrenceville outpatient clinic, is just the latest example.

Recently, while driving to work, Whittaker observed an accident
involving a vehicle and motorcycle. The driver of the vehicle struck the
motorcyclist, knocking him off his bike and up in the air. The
motorcyclist ended up underneath Whittaker's car. Whittaker, a Licensed
Practical Nurse for ten years, immediately went into action and rushed
out of his car and began administering first aid while calling 911.

Mr. Whittaker was able to stop a majority of the bleeding and stayed
with the motorcyclist until Emergency Medical Services arrived. Thanks
to the heroic acts of Whittaker, the cyclist survived the accident.

"I didn't think about any danger. I just reacted and did what needed to
be done," Whittaker explained.

The native of Chicago served ten years in the Army as a Medical
Paratrooper and earned the Expert Field Medical Badge. The EFMB is
issued to soldiers who attain a high degree of professional skill and
proficiency as a combat field medic. "I contribute a lot of my
experience to the military training I received," Whittaker stated.

Mr. Whittaker resides in the Lawrenceville area with his wife of twenty
years, Carmen, and his three sons.

A continuous biofilm reactor was used to study the effect of acetic and
butyric acids and corn steep liquor (CSL) on reactor performance. In
batch reactors supplementation of acetic acid to the medium has a
dramatic effect on the culture stability and production of high
concentration of acetone butanol ethanol (ABE or solvents) (Chen &
Blaschek, 1999). In double series reactors it has been observed that
acids produced in the first reactor are converted into solvents in the
second reactor (Qureshi & Maddox, 1988). It has also been demonstrated
in ABE recovery experiments that under appropriate conditions acids are
converted into solvents (Qureshi & Maddox 1991; Ezeji et al. 2002).
Conversion of acids into solvents enhances ABE yield. Hence, it was our
objective to study the effect of supplementing fermentation medium with
acetic and butyric acids. Additionally, experiments were conducted to
investigate the effect of CSL on reactor stability, and solvent
production.

**U.S. -- Canada cooperative study examines the implications of coal
mining and coalbed methane development in the Crown of the Continent
transboundary aquatic ecosystems.**

Research conducted by the USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center
(NOROCK) and several partnering agencies demonstrates that the
Transboundary Flathead Basin in Montana (USA) and British Columbia
(Canada) hosts one of the most diverse and unique native aquatic
ecosystems throughout North America. This region comprises the North
Fork of the Flathead River, which flows across the US-Canadian border
just over the divide from Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park.
Despite the tremendous ecological value, the Canadian headwaters are
targeted for coal-bed methane (CBM) drilling and open-pit coal mining,
threatening water and habitat quality, migratory fish populations, and
all aquatic life downstream to Glacier National Park and Flathead Lake
in the USA. Therefore, in 2008 NOROCK is leading an international
aquatics research project to help the USA prepare to meet this challenge
to the ecological integrity of one of the Crown Jewels of our National
Park System and the irreplaceable and extraordinary international value
of the Flathead River-Lake Ecosystem.

A history of coal mining and CBM extraction in the nearby Elk River in
Canada and preliminary data from the North Fork strongly suggest that
sediment and water pollution from the proposed activities will degrade
waters in the USA, thus posing a real and eminent threat to the shared
environment of the Transboundary Flathead, Glacier National Park, the
Flathead Valley and Flathead Lake. The Flathead basin is recognized as a
stronghold for native trout in the northern Rocky Mountains, including
the threatened bull trout and state sensitive westslope cutthroat trout.
Research conducted by NOROCK shows that a majority of bull and cutthroat
trout migrate up to 250 km from Flathead Lake to spawn in the Canadian
headwaters- the same areas proposed for gas and oil development. These
areas likely offer cold, clean water, silt-free streambeds, and diverse
and connected habitats, which are critical for persistence of native
salmonid species. However, the status of these transboundary fish
populations and their habitats are not known.

This collaborative research project will assess the distribution,
abundance, life-history, and genetic characteristics of native fishes in
Glacier National Park and the Canadian portion of the drainage over the
next five years. These baseline data will be used as a reference point
for long-term population and habitat monitoring prior to potential
mining or CBM development. This is a cooperative project with Montana
Fish, Wildlife and Parks, the University of Montana, the State of
Montana, BC Ministry of Environment, and the Ktunaxa (too-nah-hah) First
Nation of Southeast British Columbia to manage a shared transboundary
watershed. For more information contact:
