**SEPARATE STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER KEVIN J. MARTIN**

*Re: Children's Television Obligations of Digital Television
Broadcasters, Report and Order, MM Docket No. 00-167 (September 9,
2004)*

I'm pleased to support this Order promoting children's programming on
digital television.  I recognize that the action we take today will
increase the obligations placed on broadcasters, but I also recognize
the vital role that broadcasters play in serving the interests of
children---and their parents.  We therefore take steps to ensure the
continuation of our children's programming guidelines as well as
facilitate parents' ability actually to find the programming.

Parents often complain that there is not enough broadcast programming
that is suited for family viewing.  This is why I have long advocated a
return of the Family Viewing Hour.  While the new guidelines we adopt
today may not increase the amount of programming that appeals to the
whole family, it is certainly a step in the right direction for parents
and their children.  It is my hope that broadcasters take advantage of
improvements in technology and compression to devote even more time and
ingenuity to family or children's programming.  For example, they might
create an exclusively "family TV" or "kids TV" channel on one of their
multicast streams. Such a channel could also employ exciting,
educational interactive features.  I therefore look forward to exploring
in the Further Notice the ways in which we can encourage flexibility and
interactivity without sacrificing the accessibility of children's
programming or opening the door to creeping commercialization.

I am writing you today concerning the bill identified as: 22CFR Parts 96
and 98. The new regulations that are being developed to enforce the
Hague Convention could have a negative impact on my family. I am an
average American citizen. I love my God, my family and my country. As an
American I am free to have as many children naturally as I desire. Not
every country affords this freedom to their citizens. I have two
beautiful natural born daughters and I also have a beautiful adopted
daughter from Vietnam. I am honored to have such wonderful children. As
a free American I would like to increase my family once more by adopting
internationaly. The restrictions and requirements addressed in the Hague
Convention could cause the fees associated with international adoption
to increase. I love children. I cannot help every hurting, hungry and
helpless child in the world. I have been able to help one. I would like
to have the opportunity to help more children. If you do not help the
following may occur due to the Hague Convention: many agencies may be
forced to close, regulations and fees will increase, waiting list will
become longer, and many families will not be able to bring home
beautiful children. As an American citizen I request you to consider the
effects the Hague Convention will have on adoptive families. Some
familes choose adoption to begin their familes and others to complete
them. Please do your part to help. Sincerely, Lena White

President\'s Advisory Panel on Tax Reform

1440 New York Avenue, NW

Suite 2100

Washington, DC 20220

Dear Panel Members:

American needs to have a three-part solution to reform the impossible
tax code that currently exists.

1\. A Balanced Budget Amendment.

2\. A Flat tax for tax payers and corporations (i.e. NO deductions for

anyone or special interest)

a\. A flat tax is actually a graduated tax. If you earn more you pay

more.

b\. A flat corporate tax rate (no deductions) set at a low level to make

it advantageous to have a company headquartered in the USA. Let us out
compete the other nations for the world corporations to be headquartered
here. Where their companies, factories, executives and employees will
live and pay taxes.

c\. Social security and Medicare would be deducted at a flat rate
included in the flat tax rate (no cut offs). Actuarial data and
projections can provide you with the correct %.

3\. A 1% National sales tax at the register to pay off the National Debt

to end when the National Dept is eliminated.

Advantages

1\. Anyone with a third grade education can pay his or her taxes. No
excuses

Example: Pennsylvania state tax form is less than one page.

a\. Easy to calculate.

b\. Difficult to cheat

c\. Easy to audit

2\. The yearly tax rate can be adjusted to fit the proposed budget

easily and quickly.

3\. The Congress will not waste their time with special interest tax

groups or lobbies.

4\. The Congress can use the time to spend the taxpayer\'s money more

wisely.

I listened to C-Span while three \"experts\" testified of how to solve
the problem. Each solution proposed added a new layer of complexity to
the currently complex tax code. I thought they were there to tell you
how to simplify the tax code not complicated it.

The proposal of a national 25% sales tax would \"crash\" the current
economy. People would stop buying. America runs on consumption. The
evolution of an underground illegal economy would evolve, much like
Russia and Europe. Tax evasion would be rampant.

Please save the American Taxpayer and Corporations. We are drowning in a
complex sea of bureaucracy. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Ward P. Vaughan, MD

RD Instruction 2000-HHH

PART 2000 - GENERAL

Subpart HHH - Memorandum of Agreement Among The Rural
Business-Cooperative\
Service (RBS), The Rural Utilities Service (RUS), and the\
National Rural Utilities Cooperative Finance Corporation (CFC).

§ 2000.2951 [General]{.underline}.

Loans made for electric or telephone purposes under the Rural
Electrification Act of 1936, as amended, normally are secured by a lien
on all assets of the borrower, including a comprehensive after-acquired
property clause. When RBS makes an Intermediary Relending Program (IRP)
or Rural Economic Development (RED) loan to an entity that has such an
electric or telephone loan outstanding, the existing security documents
may constitute a prior lien on all of the borrower's assets, including
the assets acquired as a result of the RBS loan. Most loans made for
electric or telephone purposes under the Rural Electrification Act of
1936 are held by RUS or CFC. RBS, RUS, and CFC have entered into a
Memorandum of Agreement to allow RBS to make loans to RUS and CFC
borrowers and obtain security interests without the need to seek
specific subordination agreements from RUS or CFC for each loan.

§ 2000.2952 [Implementation]{.underline}.

The Memorandum of Agreement is attached as Exhibit A. Please make it
available to the borrower's attorney and bring it to the attention of
the Regional Attorney, when preparing for loan closing for all:

\(a\) IRP loans to entities with loans made for electric or telephone
purposes under the Rural Electrification Act of 1936; and

\(b\) RED loans if RBS plans to require security documents from the
utility.

§§ 2000.2952 - 2000.3000 \[Reserved\]

Honorable Ted Stevens

Chairman

Committee on Appropriations

S-128 Capitol Building

Washington, DC 20510-6025

Dear Mr. Chairman:

Pursuant to Public Law 106-554, I am providing the following information
related to water and sewer services provided to the offices of the Small
Business Administration (SBA) located in the District of Columbia.

SBA has two office locations in the District of Columbia. The SBA
Central Office occupies leased space at 409 3^rd^ Street SW., and the
SBA Washington District Office occupies leased space at 1110 Vermont
Avenue NW. The space at both locations is provided through leases
administered by the General Services Administration. Both lease
agreements provide that the building owners are responsible for payment
of water and sewer services. According to SBA's Assistant Administrator
for Administration, although the specific locations have changed, water
and sewer services have been provided to SBA offices located in the
District of Columbia through similar arrangements since prior to 1990.

Because SBA is not directly responsible for payment of water and sewer
costs for its offices located in the District of Columbia, it is my
understanding, based on information provided by the General Services
Administration, that your Committee does not want quarterly reports on
the promptness of payment for those services. If this is not the case or
if you desire additional information, please contact me at (202)
205-6586 or Robert G. Seabrooks, Assistant Inspector General for
Auditing, at (202) 205-6580.

Sincerely,

**Mapping the Material Number range CHAPTERMicroproperties into FE
Solution and their effect on Strain Localization in Granular Materials**

**Mustafa I. Alsaleh**[^1]**, Khalid A. Alshibli**[^2]**, and George
Voyiadjis**[^3]

**Abstract:**

Lade's constitutive model was modified to incorporate the couple stress
and the particle's rotation within the framework of the Cosserat
continuum. The FE equations were implemented in the finite element
program (ABAQUS) to predict the strain localization in granular
materials. Material spatial heterogeneity such as local void ratio,
particle size, surface roughness and shape indices was mapped into the
finite element mesh to account for the local heterogeneity of the
material properties. The model was found to respond well to such spatial
heterogeneities and the results compare well with experiments. The
material spatial distributions were generated using Scanning Electron
Microscope (SEM) and Optical Microscope images. The surface roughness
and the shape indices were found to affect the shear band thickness; a
parametric study was performed and such effects were found to be
significant. The shear band thickness was found to increase as the
surface roughness of the particles, particle size and the particle
angularity index increase while it tends to decrease as the particle
sphericity, initial density and the confining pressure increase.

> **Abstract**:

Proline utilization (PutA) from *E. Coli* is a trifunctional flavoenzyme
that catalyzes the conversion of proline to glutamate. PutA also has the
ability to bind DNA, in its oxidized state (FAD), acting as an
autogenously transcriptional repressor and conversely when reduced
(FADH~2~) it peripherally binds the inner membrane of *E. coli* where it
relays electrons from the oxidation of proline to the electron transport
chain. Residues 3-46 are responsible for the DNA binding and the major
membrane binding domain is thought to be somewhere on the c-terminal end
of the protein.

In the domain (PRODH) which catalyzes the oxidation of proline to
pyrroline-5-carboxylate, a small patch of arginine residues (423, 425,
426, and 427) exists on the surface of the protein that forms a net
positive charge under physiological conditions. Details about how
arginine 425 and 427 are important for the function of PutA are the goal
of this study. This small patch of arginine residues could be involved
in the protein's ability to bind DNA and membrane.

After conducting gel shift mobility assays, it was shown that EcPutA
R425A and R427A have higher dissociation constants, K~d~, as compared to
the wild type protein. The K~d~ for R425A and R427A are 254 and 333.7
nM, respectively, where the published K~d~ of the wild type protein is
roughly 45nM. The PutA's ability to bind proline was tested by finding
the Michaelis-Menten equilibrium constant (Km). The turn-over rate,
K~cat~, for R425A and R427A is 24 and 18.3 s^-1^ respectively. The
protein's ability to become fully reduced is similar to the wild type
protein, and the functional membrane binding activity for these mutants
is still being studied.

[Copy of a letter to Major General Shepard from Henry Knox]{.underline}

New York 21 January 1787

My Dear Sir -

I have to acknowledge the receipt of your favors of the 9th and 12
instant, with envelopes both which came safely to hand by the post, of
the 18th instant.

As yet there has not been any Congress which could proceed to business,
they will most probably be organized in the cause of the present week
when the delegates from Massachusetts will if they should act then - The
receipt for the demand already passed\[?\] lay this request of the
General before Congress-

As I before wrote you, it is entirely out of my power to appropriate any
of the public Arms or Stores without an order of Congress. This want of
power applies equally to the sale or loan of the Arms or Stores- I feel
for your situation and concur in the choice of your reasoning, and
lament my inabilities to order you the implements you request -

But such is my relation to Congress, and such the organization of my
department that I cannot in this instance conform to your request
without their express consent.

But although I am restrained from authorizing any appropriation of Arms
and Stores for state purposes, yet in case the insurgents should
demonstrate an intention of seizing the arsenal or any of the Stores
contained therein and it could not otherwise be successfully defended, -
I am of the opinion that property & necessity would justify the action
of taking part of the arms and ammunition for the defense of the
remainder, to be returned the instant the danger should subside. But I
must be clearly understood that my opinion related solely to an attack
on the arsenal, and on the principle, that it could not otherwise be
defended.

The important operations now going forward in Massachusetts strongly
excites my desire of being acquainted with events taken as soon as
possible. I therefore take the \-\-- if requested, your information of
the progress of the business.

I am dear sir

Your affectionate humble servant HK

Major Gen'l Sheppard

Using computer simulations we study the growth of density and
conformational profiles, and interface width in an electrophoretic
deposition model of polymer chains on a substrate. We consider a
discrete lattice Lx\*L\*L with a large aspect ratio Lx/L. Chains of
length (Lc) are released from one end (x=0) and driven by a field E
toward an impenetrable substrate at x = Lx. Polymer-polymer repulsive
interaction with the excluded volume effects and polymer-substrate
attractive interaction are considered. A Monte Carlo (MC) method with
Metropolis algorithm is used to move the chain nodes in presence of the
field E. Segmental dynamics such as kink-jump, crank-shaft, reptation,
and their combinations are used to move chains.

Growth of density, interface width (W) and conformational profiles with
time steps (t) are studied in detail. Scaling of the asymptotic
interface width (Ws) with the substrate length (L), molecular weight
(Lc), field(E), and temperature (T) are examined with kink-jump \[1\]
and kink-jump-reptation \[2\] dynamics. We have observed several
interesting results such as roughening and de-roughening as a function
of molecular weight and temperature with significant differences due to
segmental dynamics.

Conformational crossover from bulk to substrate is studied by examining
the transverse and longitudinal components of the radius of gyration. A
systematic study of the effect of short-to-long segmental dynamics

is still under-investigation. We plan to present some of these results
as data become available.
