STATEMENT OF WORK

Dr. Jisoo Lee will carry out collaborative studies with Dr. Peter E.
Lipsky, M.D., Chief of the Autoimmunity Branch (AB) of the National
Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) of
the National Institutes of Health (NIH), DHHS.

Dr. Lee was a Visiting Fellow in the Autoimmunity Branch in 2000. During
her time here she completed some very interesting studies on the
development of the human light chain repertoire and abnormalities in the
light chain repertoire in SLF. These studies were published in the
Journals of Immunology and Arthritis and Rheumatism, respectively. Her
fellowship was shortened, because she was named to be the chair of the
Rheumatology Division in Ewha Womans University Medical Center in Seoul.
She now has obtained support for a sabbatical and would like to spend
one year in the Autoimmunity Branch continuing to analyze the Ig
repertoire in subsets of B cells in patients with SLE. She has obtained
and processed samples in Ewha University, but does not have access to
high speed sequencing and analysis. Therefore, she would like to carry
out this analysis in the Autoimmunity Branch, which is uniquely set up
to accomplish this kind of analysis. Importantly, this work is clearly
within the scope of proposed studies of the Autoimmunity Branch and
would greatly further the aims of the Branch.

NIAMS will pay her health insurance benefits for Dr. Lee and her
children -- approximately \$8,040 for March 1, 2007 -- January 1, 2008.

Please provide checks on the following dates:

March 1, 2007 -- \$1,340.00

April 1, 2007 - \$670.00

May 1, 2007 - \$670.00

The recent study of the hydrodynamic escape from anoxic planetary
atmospheres (Tian et al., 2005) suggests that hydrogen was lost at a
much slower rate then previously thought and could have accumulated to a
high abundance (10% by volume) on the ancient Earth. However, we found
that in the prebiotic atmosphere such high abundance of hydrogen would
have virtually no effect on the abundance of the reduced greenhouse
gases - CH4 and NH3. Therefore, in the prebiotic hydrogen-rich
atmosphere CO2 would still have been the most important greenhouse gas
and the climate would be stable through the carbonate-silicate feedback.

Once the biota (methanogenic bacteria) evolves, slow hydrogen escape
becomes extremely important and can cause non-linear runaway increase in
methane concentrations. Previous calculations (Pavlov et al., 2001)
demonstrated that in the anoxic environment, methane has a long lifetime
(\~10,000 years) and can accumulate up to \~1000 ppm. Here, we show that
if hydrogen escapes slowly, methane molecules would have had not only a
long lifetime but also would have been effectively "recycled" in the
atmosphere and in the ocean causing methane runaway growth (\> 10% by
volume). The production of the organic haze, which cools the surface,
would also be inhibited by the slow hydrogen escape. Therefore, the
methane dominated atmosphere can be self-supportive and is the second
legitimate solution of the Faint Young Sun paradox.

Whether such dramatic switches indeed occurred in the Earth history
strongly depends on the time of emergence of the methanogenic bacteria,
the rate of organic carbon burial and the intensity of the solar UV
flux.

Re: Matching Plan for Employee Savings.

Dear Ms. Hollyfield:

You have asked if Mountain Empire Federal Credit Union (the FCU) may
offer a monthly matching deposit for special savings accounts for
employees as an employee benefit. Specifically, you asked if NCUA's
Truth in Savings Act (TISA) regulation applies to this benefit. 12
C.F.R. §707.

The matching deposit to special employee savings accounts is a
permissible employee benefit if it meets certain NCUA regulatory
requirements noted below and, because employees must be members to have
an account, the FCU must comply with disclosure requirements in NCUA's
TISA regulation for member accounts. Please note we do not express an
opinion regarding any issues under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) or tax law that may arise as a result of
the restrictions the FCU states it wants to place on these accounts. On
those matters, the FCU should consult with its own legal counsel or tax
professional.

The FCU intends to offer a matching deposit to employees who invest up
to \$20.00 monthly into an individual, special savings account. No
withdrawals would be permitted until the end of employment at the FCU.
Additionally, no other monies would be commingled with these funds. The
FCU intends to deposit the matching funds at the end of the year and pay
all applicable taxes.

The FCU may offer matching deposits as an employee benefit if the
benefit meets the requirements of NCUA's regulation on employee
benefits. 12 C.F.R. §701.19. That regulation allows a federal credit
union to offer benefits "to its employees and officers who are
compensated in conformance with the Act and the bylaws," however, the
benefits "must be reasonable given the FCU's size, financial conditions,
and the duties of the employees." 12 C.F.R. §701.19(a).

NCUA's TISA regulation will apply to the proposed special savings
accounts the FCU proposes to offer to its employees as an employee
benefit. If the FCU's employees establish accounts at the FCU to obtain
the proposed employee benefit, they will need to be FCU members and the
accounts will be member accounts. NCUA's TISA regulation applies to all
member accounts and, therefore, employees will be entitled to receive
disclosures meeting the requirements of the TISA regulation. 12 C.F.R.
Part 707. As noted in the TISA regulation, its purpose is to allow
actual and potential members to make informed decisions about credit
union accounts. 12 C.F.R. §707.1(b).

ERISA may be triggered due to restrictions on withdrawals tied to an
employee's employment with the FCU. 29 U.S.C. §1001 *et seq*. You note,
as well, the FCU will pay applicable taxes. Tax and ERISA matters are
outside NCUA jurisdiction; therefore, you should consult with your own
counsel regarding these matters.

RELEASE:     SEPTEMBER 5, 2006

**STATEMENT BY CONGRESSMAN DAN BURTON ON THE 34^TH^ ANNIVERSARY OF THE
MUNICH OLYMPICS MASSACRE OF 1972**

(Washington, D.C.) - Congressman Dan Burton \[R-IN-05\], a senior Member
of the House International Relations Committee, released the following
statement on the 34^th^ anniversary of the Munich Olympics Massacre of
1972:

\"Thirty-four years ago today, eight members of the Palestinian
terrorist group, Black September Organization (BSO), a group affiliated
with the Fatah organization, took eleven Israeli athletes hostage in the
Olympic Village in Munich, West Germany, where they were to compete in
the 1972 Summer Olympic Games.  The BSO terrorist attack claimed the
lives of all eleven Israeli athletes and the life of one German police
officer.\"

\"As we remember that horrific day and those early victims of Islamic
terrorism, let us not forget that Islamic terrorism is alive and
thriving in vast sections of the modern Muslim world.  Rogue regimes in
Syria and Iran continue to supply terrorist organizations, such as
Hezbollah, the means to murder Israeli civilians, and the Palestinian
Authority\'s government, under the leadership of the terrorist
organization HAMAS, continues to implicitly support the kidnappings of
Western journalists and homicide bombers.\" 

\"While terrorism became America\'s reality on 9/11/01, it has been a
daily reality for the Israeli people since the State of Israel was
founded.  While we will soon recall the fifth anniversary of the 9/11
terrorist attacks on our country, let us recommit our support for the
peace-loving people of Israel, who continue to be victims of Islamic
terrorism, and renew our own resolve to a lasting victory in the Global
War on Terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq.\"

CONSERVATION RESERVE PROGRAM (CRP) ADDS DUCK NESTING HABITAT INITIATIVE

DES MOINES, IOWA, September 28, 2006\--Duck nesting habitat improvement
is the goal of the new Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) Duck Nesting
Habitat Initiative, according to USDA Farm Service Agency State
Executive Director Derryl McLaren. "Farmers and landowners can enroll
land into CRP under this initiative starting October 2, 2006" said
McLaren.

Cropped wetlands capable of being restored and identified as having a
potential duck nesting density of 25 breeding pairs or greater per
square mile is eligible for the initiative. Eligible acreage includes
cropped wetlands and adjacent uplands. From 4 to 10 acres of upland may
be enrolled for every acre of restored cropped wetland enrolled. This
means for every one acre of restored cropped wetland, there must be a
minimum of four acres of surrounding upland habitat, but may be up to 10
acres.

CRP contracts for acreage enrolled under the duck nesting habitat
practice may be for a period of 10 to 15 years. The participant will
restore cropped wetlands and establish suitable nesting cover.
Participants will receive annual rental payments, cost share to
establish the habitat and a 25% incentive payment to restore wetlands.

McLaren added, "Enrollment is limited to specifically identified lands
in 14 counties located within the Prairie Pothole Region encompassing
parts of Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Acreage may be enrolled in CRP under this initiative on a continuous
basis until the 100,000 acre national allocation is reached. Iowa has
received a 4,000 acre allocation."

Restoring 100,000 acres of wetland ecosystems in the Prairie Pothole
Region will provide nesting ducks with critical habitat, nesting cover,
as well as security from predators and food. The initiative will also
benefit other wildlife species, filter runoff, recharge groundwater
supplies, protect drinking water and reduce downstream flooding.

Sign-up for the initiative will begin Oct. 1, 2006, at local FSA offices
and will run on a continuous basis until enrollment goals are met, or
Dec. 31, 2007, whichever comes first.

Additional information and maps identifying the area determined eligible
based on the potential duck nesting density may be obtained at the local
USDA Farm Service Agency Office.

*Chiral Symmetry Meets Confinement:*

# Implications of Spin-Orbit Dynamics in QCD

ABSTRACT

Parity-conserving single-spin asymmetries provide a specific measure of
coherent spin-orbit dynamics in quantum chromodynamics. The origin of
these effects can be traced to the interplay of chiral dynamics and
confinement in the theory. The cleanest and most elegant display of the
appropriate mechanisms appears in the Collins functions and in the
polarizing fragmentation functions and fracture functions for hadrons
with spin. In the nucleon, the same dynamical mechanisms generate
virtual quantum structures leading to the Boer-Mulders functions and
orbital distributions. Two complementary formalisms for these
distributions functions occur. The familiar gauge-link formalism
incorporates all nonperturbative dynamics for a specific measurement
into an nonlocal correlator. The [constructive]{.underline} formalism
introduced by the author describes an intrinsic property of the nucleon,
namely, the currents specified in the Bakke-Leader-Trueman sum rule, and
gives a recipe for how these currents are probed by soft initial-state
and final-state interactions. The connection between the two approaches
can be studied in the process dependence of single-spin asymmetries.

a State to practice in the discipline for which the degree program
prepared the participant, whichever is later. At least 60 days prior to
the appointment date, the Secretary shall notify the participant of the
work assignment, its location, and the date work must begin.

\(2\) Obligated service shall begin on the degree completion date for a
participant who, on that date, is a full-time VA employee working in a
capacity for which the degree program prepared the participant.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 7616(b) and (c))

\(c\) *Duration of service*. The period of obligated service for a
participant who attended school as a full-time student shall be 1 year
for each school year or part thereof for which the participant received
a scholarship award under these regulations. The period of obligated
service for a participant who attended school as a part-time student
shall be reduced from that which a full-time student must serve in
accordance with the proportion that the number of credit hours carried
by the part-time student in any school year bears to the number of
credit hours required to be carried by a full-time student, whichever is
the greater, but shall be a minimum of 1 year of full-time employment.
(Authority: 38 U.S.C. 7612(c)(1)(B) and (3)(A))

\(d\) *Location for service*. The Secretary reserves the right to make
final decisions on location for service obligation. A participant who
received a scholarship as a full-time student must be willing to move to
another geographic location for service obligation. A participant who

Dear Mr. Flores:

This is in response to your October 5, 2007 letter (public docket No.
FAA-2007-0050) petitioning the Federal Aviation Administration on behalf
of Aviation Services, Ltd., d.b.a., Freedom Air (Freedom Air) for an
exemption from § 121.313(k) of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR). This regulation requires a means for monitoring the area outside
the flight deck.

We have reviewed your petition and determined that an exemption is not
needed. Freedom Air meets the flight deck door design standards to
protect the flight deck. Freedom Air will keep the flight deck door
closed and locked during flight, in accordance with the requirements of
§ 121.584, to provide a level of safety equivalent to the requirement to
monitor the area outside the flight deck for the purpose of identifying
persons requesting entry.

Sincerely,

## /s/ James J. Ballough

## Director, Flight Standards
