News Release

U.S. Department of Labor For Immediate Release

Office of Public Affairs Date: Oct. 22, 2002

Washington, D.C. Contact: Rita Ford

Release No. 40 Phone: (202) 693-8671

Former Ill. Executive is Ordered to Restore Employee Contributions to
401(k) Plan

CHICAGO, Ill. \-- The U.S. Department of Labor obtained a consent order
and judgment on Sept. 10, ordering Barry Duane Bielema, the former owner
of Snyder's Bulk Plant Service, Inc. of Amboy, Ill., and trustee of the
company's 401(k) plan, to restore \$5,693 to the plan and permanently
barring him from serving any employee benefit plan covered by federal
pension law.

The judgment, which was entered in the federal district court in
Rockford, Ill., also ordered Bielema to terminate the plan, distribute
its assets, and forfeit his rights to his plan account to satisfy the
liability.

"This action demonstrates the department's commitment to protecting the
benefits of America's workers," said Kenneth Bazar, director of the
Chicago regional office of the department's Pension and Welfare Benefits
Administration, which investigated the case.

The court action resolves a lawsuit brought by the department in April
2002 against Bielema and his now defunct company. He allegedly withheld
approximately \$5,000 from employees' salaries but failed to forward the
money and lost opportunity costs to the company's 401(k) plan between
February and June 2001, in violation of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act (ERISA). The 401(k) plan was established May 1, 1986, and
covered six participants with \$279,165 in assets as of April 30, 2000.

Kenneth Bazar noted that employers with similar problems, who are not
yet the subject of an investigation by PWBA, may be eligible to
participate in the Department's Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program
(VFCP). Participation in the VFCP requires employers to make workers
whole but allows them to avoid PWBA enforcement actions and civil
penalties as well as any applicable excise taxes. For more information
about the VFCP see www.dol.gov/pwba

Employers and workers can contact the regional office at (312) 353-0900
or PWBA's toll free number, 1-866-275-7922, for help with problems
relating to private-sector pension and health plans.

### **SUCCESS STORIES: Rural Development Makes Contaminated Water Safe for Providence, North Carolina** 

### 

###  ![](media/image1.jpeg){width="3.4993055555555554in" height="2.19375in"}

### 

### **Outline of Need:** Since February 2001, 60 families in the rural community of Providence, North Carolina, have been using bottled water provided by Caswell County and the State. Contaminants, which include benzene, trichloroethylene, tetrachloroethylene and four other cancer-causing chemicals, were found to be seeping into 54 of the community's wells.

### 

### **How Rural Development Helped:** The Town of Yanceyville applied for an Emergency Community Water Assistance Grant in the amount of \$460,550 through the Rural Development Office in Yanceyville. The Town proposed to run water lines to the affected community from their water treatment plant (also funded by Rural Utilities Service) that can provide one million gallons of water per day. 

### 

### **The Results:** The grant was approved and obligated in September 2001. The elevation of Providence is below Yanceyville allowing for a gravity feed and no need for pump stations along the way. The project involves 5.5 miles of 8-inch water pipeline and as of May 2002, is well underway. The Rural Utilities Service grant provides the major funding for this one million-dollar project. Once completed, the community of Providence will no longer have to rely on bottled water for its supply of safe drinking water.

# Evolutionary Product Development

Successful enterprises use evolutionary product development to keep
manageable the new content and technology required for any specific
product. They have found that trying to stabilize the design of a
product that requires significant new content is an unmanageable task,
especially if the goal is to reduce cycle times and get the product into
the marketplace as quickly as possible.

Instead, they establish a time-phased plan to achieve a quantum leap in
performance by developing a new product incrementally as technologies
and resources become available. Design elements not achievable in the
initial development are planned for subsequent generations of the
product, but only when technologies are proven to be mature and
resources are available.

This approach limits the design challenge for any one product
development cycle by deferring risky technology, design, or
manufacturing requirements to a future generation. It reduces the
development risk of each increment, facilitating greater success in
meeting cost, schedule, and performance requirements. Evolutionary
improvements to products eventually result in the full desired
capability, but in multiple steps, delivering a series of enhanced
interim capabilities to the customer more quickly.
**STATEMENT OF**

**CHAIRMAN KEVIN J. MARTIN**

*Re: Recommendations of the Independent Panel Reviewing the Impact of
Hurricane Katrina on Communications Networks, EB Docket No. 06-119*

I would like to thank the members of the Independent Panel for taking
the time to study the impact of Hurricane Katrina on communications
networks. I would also like to thank Nancy Victory for agreeing to Chair
the Independent Panel. We all appreciate the hard work that went into
studying the lessons of this terrible disaster and developing
recommendations for improving our response in the future.

The devastation of Hurricane Katrina highlighted the importance of
telecommunications and media to our daily lives, and our dependency on
our national communications infrastructure. For the past six months,
experts from public safety organizations, the communications industry,
and public interest groups have worked together to study the impact of
Hurricane Katrina on the telecommunications and media infrastructure and
to review the sufficiency of the recovery effort with respect to this
infrastructure.

In its final report, the Independent Panel has presented recommendations
for increasing the readiness of the communications industry, improving
response and recovery after major disasters, enhancing the operability
and interoperability of public safety and 911 communications, and
strengthening our emergency alert communications. I am particularly
pleased to see the Independent Panel's recommendations to provide a
Readiness Checklist for the communications industry, to inform the
public safety community about technologies to improve the operability
and interoperability of their communications, to strengthen the
resiliency of Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) and other 911
infrastructure, and to take actions to ensure the public gets timely
information in times of emergency.

With this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, we are asking for comments and
suggestions from the public on how to best address and implement the
Independent Panel's recommendations. I look forward to studying the
Independent Panel's report and to reviewing the public's responses for
additional follow-up action so that we can improve our response and
recovery efforts for the future.

DIGITAL IMAGE TEXTURE CLASSIFICATION BY MEANS OF MODIFIED 2D DISCRETE
WAVELET TRANSFORM DERIVED FEATURES

Abstract:.

Although there is no strict definition of the image texture, it is
easily perceived by humans and is believed to be a rich source of visual
information -- about the nature and threedimensional shape of physical
objects \[1\]. Generally speaking, textures are complex visual patterns
composed of entities, or subpatterns, that have characteristic
brightness, colour, slope, size, etc. Thus texture can be regarded as a
similarity grouping in an image The local subpattern properties give
rise to the perceived lightness, uniformity, density, roughness,
regularity, linearity, frequency, phase, directionality, coarseness,
randomness, fineness, smoothness, granulation, etc., of the texture as a
whole. There are four major issues in texture analysis:

1.  Feature extraction: to compute a characteristic of a digital image
    able to numerically describe its texture properties;

2.  Texture discrimination: to partition a textured image into regions,
    each corresponding to a perceptually homogeneous texture (leads to
    image segmentation);

3.  Texture classification: to determine to which of a finite number of
    physicallydefined classes (such as normal and abnormal tissue) a
    homogeneous texture region belongs;

4.  Shape from texture: to reconstruct 3D surface geometry from texture
    information.

Feature extraction is the first stage of image texture analysis. Results
obtained from this stage are used for texture discrimination, texture
classification or object shape determination.

This poster presents application of modified 2D discrete wavelet
transform derived features for digital image texture classification.
During the described research, software for computation of proposed
features has been developed. Described texture classification method was
tested on Brodatz texture sets. The robustness of the proposed method of
texture classification was demonstrated.

This work summarizes Author's self researches, leaded in years 2004,2005
in the Institute of Electronics, Technical University of Lodz.

*Mucor miehei* lipase was immobilized onto polysiloxane-polyvinyl
alcohol magnetic particles (POS-PVA) with high activity. The performance
of the resulted immobilized biocatalyst was evaluated on the synthesis
of flavor esters using heptane as a solvent. The reaction was conducted
by mixing an immobilized lipase with appropriate concentrations of the
starting materials (alcohols and organic acids) in a 20-mL batch reactor
with shaking at 37°C, and the reactants consumption and/or product
formed were monitored by gas chromatography analysis. The effects of
organic acid/alcohol molar ratio, enzyme concentration, reactants
carbon-chain length and the alcohol structure were determined on the
reaction rate.

Ester synthesis was maximized for substrates containing organic acid in
excess and biocatalyst concentration greater than 15% (w/v) of total
weight reactants. The biocatalyst selectivity for the carbon chain
length was found to be different concerning the organic acids and
alcohols. High reaction rates were achieved for organic acids that had 8
or 10 carbons whereas increasing in length of the alcohol carbon-chain
from 4 to 8 carbons gave much lower esterification yields. Optimal
reaction rate was determined for the synthesis of butyl octanate (12
carbons). The rate of synthesis was also dependent on the alcohol
structure, with maximum activity occurring for primarily alcohol.
Secondary and tertiary alcohols decreased the reaction rates in more
than 60%.

## Specific Comments

#### 6.2.1.3 Electronic Record Integrity Attributes Should Be Preserved.

> **Comment:** The phrase "Where a migration, in effect, creates a new
> electronic record (by transforming the old electronic record) then,
> per section 11.10(e), the audit trail for the migrated electronic
> record would have to cover this creation. By adding this new creation
> step to the migrated audit trail carried over from the old electronic
> record you will help ensure a continuity of electronic record
> integrity."
>
> We propose that a migration activity that does not alter the stored
> values of the data should not require the inclusion of an audit trail
> record for the event in the data item audit trail.
>
> We propose that the system documentation of the migration, as noted in
> the first paragraph of Section 6.2, should include a record of the
> migration activity.

#### 6.2.1.5 Unavoidable Differences and Losses Should Be Accounted For and Explained In The Migrated Electronic Record or New System Documentation.

#### Alternatively, we propose that any value changes that are required in any data item, as suggested in section 6.2.1.5 for example to correctly display mapped colors, should be identified in the system documentation of the migration, and should be included in the audit trail of any changed values.

**USDA MOVES FORWARD TO PROTECT ROADLESS AREAS**

WASHINGTON, D.C. July 6, 2001 **--** The U.S. Department of Agriculture
today announced that it is moving forward in an open and fair process to
develop protections for roadless areas.

Through an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR), USDA will seek
a sixty day public comment period to help determine the next steps in
providing long-term protection of roadless areas. The ANPR\--available
for inspection at the Federal Register today\--lists several questions
for the public to consider regarding roadless area values and future
protection and management of inventoried roadless areas in national
forests and grasslands.

"This public comment period is an effort to be responsive to the
concerns raised by local communities, states, tribes and other
stakeholders," said USDA Forest Chief Dale Bosworth. "It is important to
give people additional time to express their views on how best to move
this process forward. If we spend the extra time now, we have a better
chance of coming up with a workable solution that has the support,
commitment and understanding of the American people."

Of the 58.5 million acres of inventoried roadless areas, less than two
tenths of one percent might be considered for road construction during
the next five years, after appropriate environmental review and
documentation. Eighty four percent of inventoried roadless areas are not
managed for timber production and forty one percent prohibit road
construction.

USDA is taking a pro-active stance during this period to solicit
additional public comment and review the existing rule to determine how
best to adhere to the five guiding principles of informed
decision-making that were outlined on May 4, 2001. These principles are
as follows: informed decision-making; working together with local input
and information; protecting forests; protecting communities, homes, and
property; and protecting access to property.

The Roadless Area Conservation Rule designated nearly 60 million acres
in national forests off-limits to roadbuilding, most logging and other
development requiring roads. On May 4th, USDA announced that the
roadless rule would be implemented, but with adjustments to be made to
the rule. However, on May 10th, a federal judge in Idaho preliminarily
enjoined the rule. Seven other lawsuits against the rule are currently
pending. On June 7^th^ the Chief of the Forest Service issued interim
protections for roadless areas by requiring his approval of any proposed
road building and timber harvesting in these areas.
