**Tour Historic Battlefields by Candlelight**

(Ninety Six, SC) -- Ninety Six National Historic Site will present The
Annual Candlelight Tour on Saturday, October 11, 2008. Nearly 500 candle
luminaries and torches will light the one mile historic trail. History
will come to life as costumed volunteers portray settlers and soldiers
of old Ninety Six during the Colonial and Revolutionary eras.

Program highlights will be the sights and sounds of musket fire rising
from the 227-year old Star Fort. A new feature will be a **cannon
firing** from the Patriot siegeworks. Also, living history interpreters
will be displaying their skills around the Black Swan Tavern from 1pm
until 4pm. We will be remembering the soldiers who died here with blue
and red luminaries for each Patriot and Loyalist life lost during the
1775 battle and 1781 siege.

Candlelight tours will begin at 7:00 pm and leave every 10 minutes with
the last tour at 8:20 pm. Each tour will last about one hour and fifteen
minutes. Reservations are not necessary. Tickets will only be available
the day of the event. When you arrive, get your tickets at the
Information Tent located near the main parking area. If you have a Scout
group or a group of 30 or more, please email or call the park (864) 543-
4068 by Wednesday, October 8 to register. Visitors should wear
comfortable walking shoes and bring a flashlight. All activities are
free. The Visitor Center will be open 8:00 am to 9:00 pm the day of the
event.

Ninety Six National Historic Site is located two miles south of Ninety
Six on SC Highway 248. In case of rain the program will be cancelled and
not rescheduled. Contact the park for details at (864) 543-4068 or visit

**3-hydroxypropionic Acid--A New Intermediate Platform**

To match the scale, flexibility and efficiency of the petrochemical
industry, it will be necessary for the biorefining industry to develop a
set of versatile chemical building blocks, or platform intermediates,
from which a wide range of products can be derived. Such platform
intermediates can be competitively produced by fermentation; the two
most well know examples being lactic (2-hydroxypropionic) acid and
succinic (butanedioic) acid. Cargill is developing a third important
building block, 3-hydroxypropionic acid (3-hp), a platform intermediate
that can be produced at a theoretical yield of 100% from glucose. By
integrating fermentation with chemical processing, this novel
intermediate can then be cost-effectively used to make other
commercially valuable chemicals such as 1,3-propanediol, acrylic acid,
malonic acid, and acrylamide.

![](media/image1.wmf)

Recently, Cargill has developed the scientific foundation for the
microbial conversion of glucose to 3-hp. The key genes have been cloned
and sequenced and several microbial strains have been constructed and
shown to produce 3-hp. The basic conversions of 3-hp to industrial
chemicals have also been demonstrated. The scope of this presentation is
to introduce the technical and commercial opportunities present in this
development program.

**STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN WILLIAM E. KENNARD ON**

**PROPOSAL TO STANDARDIZE PUBLIC DISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTS**

Broadcasting is a singularly local medium, and the relationship between
television stations and their local communities is unique. Television
licensees have an affirmative obligation to air programming that is
responsive to the needs of their communities, although as many
broadcasters agree, serving the needs of the community is also good
business and good corporate citizenship.

The proposals we adopt today would facilitate dialogue between
television stations and their communities about the kind of programming
that will serve local needs. We do not propose to require broadcasters
to provide any particular type of programming. Instead, we empower
viewers, including those with hearing and visual disabilities, who want
to better understand how their broadcasters are serving the public
interest.

Holiday Enforcement Planner**

**Letter to the Editor**

**418 Words**

Dear Editor:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration projects that as many
as 567 highway fatalities could occur nationwide during the
heavily-traveled 2005 Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

That is why **\[Local Organization\]** is supporting law enforcement
officials this Thanksgiving as they launch an aggressive *Click It or
Ticket* mobilization to strongly enforce all safety belt laws.

Thanksgiving weekend kicks off one of the nation's busiest travel
seasons of the year, as families and friends gather for the first of
many year-end holidays. \[Check
[www.stopimpaireddriving.org](http://www.stopimpaireddriving.org/) for
2004 data.\]

Although a record 82 percent of Americans now wear their safety belts
while riding or driving in vehicles, up from 58 percent in 1994, too
many people still do not. According to NHTSA, 31,693 passenger vehicle
occupants died in crashes during 2004 -- and more than half of those
killed were [NOT]{.underline} wearing their safety belts at the time of
the crash.

Too many people, especially teens, young male drivers (age 18 to 34) and
pickup truck drivers still take the attitude, "it will never happen to
me," but fatal crashes can happen, they do happen, and unfortunately,
they will happen this Thanksgiving weekend.

That is why we will be working aggressively this holiday season to
remind everyone that safety belt use is still the single most effective
way to protect yourself, as well as those you love, in a crash. This is
not about writing more tickets. It is about saving more lives.

Thanksgiving is also a good time to remember that children must always
be properly restrained in moving vehicles. Although 99 percent of all
American infants -- under age 1 -- are now restrained, older children
also need to be in the appropriate restraint and properly installed and
properly installed for their size and age. Unfortunately, 8 out of 10
child restraints are improperly installed.

One study showed that children who are moved from child safety seats to
the regular vehicle safety belts too soon are four times more likely to
sustain a serious head injury in a crash than those who are correctly
restrained in child safety or booster seats. The easiest way to remember
is, "If they are under 4' 9" they need to be in a booster seat."

Because law enforcement officers have seen first hand the severe injury
and death that often result from not wearing a safety belt, they will be
showing zero-tolerance for anyone not buckled up this Thanksgiving
holiday. Unless you want to risk a ticket \-- or worse, your life \--
please remember to *"Click It or Ticket."*

Sirs,

My comments on the taxation are quite simple.It is against the
Constitution of this great nation. The right to bear arms was put in to
avoid the reoccurrance of a tyrannical government. That is exactly what
we have now,however, we also have a society where the people don't have
the courage or the moral fortitude to march up there and hang everyone
of you sons of bitches. Pay roll taxation including FICA and Medicare
are a violation of my liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. The
federal government has no rights what so ever to confiscate one cent of
my income.Wake up before you people are rudely awakened.

Fs working group meeting July 25, 2002

Agenda:

1\) Laurent Nadolski: accelerator measurements of the horizontal
dispersion bump

2\) Bob Schoenlein: energy modulation measurements

Laurent described accelerator physics measurements of the horizontal
dispersion bump for beamline 5.3.1. The ALS was at 1.9 GeV and the BL
5.0 wiggler gap was closed, but no correction was made for beta beating.
There was a 17 % reduction in the lifetime with the 2.7 % shunt and a 25
% reduction in lifetime with the 5.4 % shunt. Corresponding reductions
in the momentum aperture were also observed. The measurements will be
repeated with a correction for the beta beating. Ben commented that a 25
% smaller lifetime was not acceptable for normal user operations.

Bob reported measurements of the spatial profile of the x-ray focus,
which may be compared with calculations of the energy modulation of the
electron beam. The data from the previous night were taken with the
laser in resonance with the wiggler 3^rd^ harmonic. At 300 μm and 400 μm
from the optical axis, extra intensity was observed with the laser
modulation present while at 500 μm no new intensity was seen. This
result showed good agreement with a GINGER calculation of Sasha's. The
measurements are continuing. There is not yet a definitive number for
the maximum energy modulation. Dave asked what is needed to reach a goal
of 1:1 signal to noise. Dave also proposed having a Kem Robinson style
review of the project at the end of October.
Veterans Benefits Administration Circular 26-07-1

Department of Veterans Affairs August 7, 2007

Washington, D. C. 20420

**"ANY QUALIFIED VETERAN" AS THE BORROWER ON VA APPRAISALS**

1\. **[Purpose.]{.underline}** The purpose of this circular is to advise
program participants of a new policy for VA appraisal reports.

2\. **[Background]{.underline}**

a.  In the VA program, the appraisal report is used to document the
    appraiser's value determination of real property for qualified
    veterans. VA has received feedback that lenders sometimes need to
    delay loan closing to await a name change on an appraisal report. To
    help eliminate such unnecessary delays at loan closings, appraisers
    should input "Any Qualified Veteran," rather than the veteran's
    name, in the borrower field of the appraisal report. This change
    will also help to limit the disclosure of veterans' personal
    identifiable information.

b.  Historically, lenders have indicated that having the correct
    borrower's name on the appraisal report was necessary to sell the
    loan on the secondary market. VA has conferred with major purchasers
    of VA guaranteed loans on the secondary market. These major
    purchasers have reported that they are only concerned with the name
    on the guaranty and the mortgage note. VA also conferred with the
    Appraisal Foundation regarding Uniform Standards of Professional
    Appraisal Practice (USPAP) requirements. They concurred that VA
    would not violate USPAP by replacing the veteran's name with "Any
    Qualified Veteran."

3\. **[New Fee Appraiser Requirement.]{.underline}** Fee appraisers
should insert "Any Qualified Veteran" in the borrower field on the
appraisal report for all VA case assignments.

4\. **[Related Policy.]{.underline}** There is no change to the
requestor procedures for ordering an appraisal report or case number.

5\. **[Details]{.underline}**. Field stations should reproduce this
circular for immediate release to program participants in their
jurisdiction. Copies of these releases need not be submitted to Central
Office.

#
# It all begins with a song

It should end with a songwriter getting paid

By Steve Bogard

President of NSAI

Nashville Songwriters Association International

As upcoming legislation, especially concerning the growing digital
marketplace, comes before Congress, I feel two things should be kept in
mind.

1\. The framers of the constitution did not create our copyright laws to
protect business models and marketing systems. They were written to
ensure that THE CREATORS of America's most valuable export, her
intellectual property treasures, including the American popular song in
all its forms and genres, would benefit from their works so they might
continue to create them. In the coming months you will hear tales of
woe, true as they may be, from the music industry's business community
about hard times on easy street.

As we leave the world of brick and mortar, truck and highway, paper and
plastic music product, the songwriter's contribution shines even more
obviously as the starting point upon which the entire music industry is
based. America's songwriters have actually suffered even greater losses
than the rest of the industry because our income, by law, arrives months
later, after it passes through their hands.

In whatever incarnation upcoming digital legislation appears,
songwriters and publishers ARE ENTITLED TO at least ONE THIRD OF THE
COST OF THE CONTENT upon which the digital world builds their empires.
Our income is far below that percentage now, and many in our industry
would have us take a big pay cut. Members of Congress would be killing
the musical spirit of America if they let that happen. The artists and
labels and the digital delivery companies can work the rest out in the
marketplace. The American songwriter depends on legislation for fair
compensation.

2\. Our current copyright system is so piecemeal and random as to
resemple the Cadillac in the great Wayne Kemp song sung by Johnny Cash,
where the lifetime GM employee sneaks all the various year model
Cadillac parts out of the factory over many years "One Piece At A Time."
We have a "1909, 1976, 1997 Copyright automobile."

In a world where you can watch the charge for your favorite Starbuck's
beverage come out of your checking account while the coffee's still hot,
songwriters shouldn't have to wait the better part of a year while their
money grows in other business' bank accounts. Our payments should come
directly to us, in a timely manner.

America's cultural contribution to the world rests in the hands of
Congress, and we

trust that its members will remain friends of the American Songwriter.

To: Federal Tax Reform Panel

Re: Tax Reform

Please allow me to write regarding why I feel tax reform would be
beneficial for the

United States.

1.  Paper work - I keep all types of invoices and receipts for no other
    reason except tax

records. I have boxes and boxes of old records that I keep for no other
reason than

taxes. While my tax preparation is done by an accountant, just think of
how much

more productive their time could be spent showing businesses how to
better operate

their business rather than complying with confusing and complicated tax
rules.

2.  Time - If all I had to do was pay my taxes as I buy products how
    wonderful that

would be. No long hours gathering records and requesting information and
getting it

to the accountant only to find out you are missing that one receipt that
is stuck to the

back of some piece of paper or filed in the wrong file.

3.  Fairness - A tax system that all had to pay and not one that could
    be skirted by fancy

accounting.

4.  Savings - A simpler system would reduce the number of dollars spent
    by the

government managing the tax system thereby helping to reduce the

amount of taxes needed to operate the government.

FCC ESTABLISHES NEW OFFICE OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS;

SUE MCNEIL NAMED CHIEF

Washington, DC -- The FCC has established an Office of Intergovernmental
Affairs (IGA) in the Consumer & Governmental Affairs Bureau (CGB).

Sue McNeil, currently CGB's Special Counsel for Intergovernmental
Affairs, has been named to head the new office.

IGA will be a liaison to state, local, and tribal governments, and other
federal regulatory agencies. It will foster a better understanding of
FCC programs, policies, rules and decisions, facilitate a two-way
exchange of information and communications on telecommuni- cations
issues and promote cooperation and coordination in areas of overlapping
jurisdiction.

In addition to ongoing intergovernmental affairs outreach, IGA will be
responsible for overseeing the work and activities of the Commission's
Intergovernmental Advisory Committee, designing and implementing the
Commission's Indian Telecommunications Initiatives (ITI) and providing
staff support to the Federal/State Joint Conference on Advanced
Telecommunications Services. Previously, the intergovernmental affairs
function had been handled informally in the Consumer & Governmental
Affairs Bureau's front office.

Ms. McNeil joined the FCC as Special Counsel for Intergovernmental
Affairs in January 2003. In a previous tour with the FCC, she served as
Legal Advisor to the Auctions Division Chief in the Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau from 1994-1996.

Before returning to the FCC, she served as Senior Attorney for Federal
Regulatory Affairs (International Telecommunications) at Sprint
Corporation and Director for Government Affairs at Lucent Corporation.
Ms. McNeil was also an Associate at Latham & Watkins and served as an
aide to U.S. Senator Harry Reid and U.S. Representative Henry Waxman.

Noting Ms. McNeil's extensive experience in both government and the
private sector, CGB Chief K. Dane Snowden said, "I am delighted to have
someone with Sue's experience heading this important new office. The
IGA, under Sue's direction, will play an important role in ensuring
efficient and effective cooperative efforts with our state, local and
tribal partners."

She received her J.D., *cum laude*, from Georgetown University Law
Center and her B.A. in political science from Duke University.

WILD HORSE ACTIVITIES ABOUND IN NEVADA THIS YEAR

Wild horse and burro show and adoption opportunities are plentiful in
Nevada this year.

Four shows sponsored by private wild horse organizations are slated for
Fallon, Winnemucca, Reno and Henderson. The shows are an opportunity for
adopters of former wild horses and burros to show off how well their
animals perform after gentling and training, and the shows are an
opportunity for potential wild horse and burro adopters to observe and
garner techniques they might apply themselves.

The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will sponsor adoptions at three of
the four shows, plus offer other special adoption opportunities such as
a national televised event. The BLM also cooperates with the Nevada
Department of Corrections to offer halter broke or trained horses at
adoptions at the Warm Springs Correctional Facility in Carson City.

If a potential adopter is interested in a larger number of animals from
which to select, they may make an appointment to visit the National Wild
Horse and Burro Adoption Center at Palomino Valley, 20 miles north of
Sparks. The Center currently houses about 1,700 excess wild horses
recently removed during winter gathers and prepared for adoption.
