Labor Department Settles Lawsuit With Defunct Mid-Continent

Holding Company's Pension Plan Trustee

KANSAS CITY -- The U.S. Department of Labor obtained a consent judgment
on April 18 requiring the former 401(k) trustee and corporate officer of
three defunct Fenton, Mo. Corporations to repay \$27,656.64 to the
Mid-Continent Holding Company 401(k) plan.

"The department's goal is to protect the hard-earned benefits promised
to employees," said Gregory Egan, regional director of the Kansas City
office of the Labor Department's Pension and Welfare Benefits
Administration (PWBA), which conducted the investigation. The consent
judgment was entered in the federal district court in St. Louis, Mo.

Besides the restitution, the judgment permanently bars James F. Kistner
from serving any employee benefit plan covered by the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and appoints Brooks Hamilton of
Brooks Hamilton & Associates Professional Employee Benefit Services of
Dallas, Texas as the independent fiduciary to the plan. Hamilton will
have authority to terminate the plan and distribute its assets to
participants.

The recovery for the plan represents the full amount withheld from the
plan participants' paychecks, but not forwarded to their individual
accounts.

Mid-Continent Holding Company was the parent holding company for
America's Home Remodelers (AHR) and A.I. Manufacturing Company, LLC
(AI). The deferred compensation plan covered employees of AHR and AI. As
of the date the companies were forced into receivership and liquidated,
the plan had assets of \$524,807 and 208 participants nationwide.

According to the lawsuit filed March 3, 2001, corporate officers and
trustees violated ERISA when they failed to transfer to the plan
contribution withheld from the paychecks of employees of AHR/AI from May
to August 1998. They also allegedly failed to hold the plan's assets in
trust and used plan assets for their benefit and the employer's.

Employers and workers can contact the Kansas City office at
1-816-426-5131 or toll free at 1-866-275-7922 for help with any problems
relating to private-sector pension and health plans.

**A Collision Dynamics Model of a Multi-Level Train**

In this video, a top view of one car model is shown with three different
initial conditions. The one car model is broken into three masses: the
front mezzanine, shown in red on the right; the bi-level mid section,
shown in green; and the back mezzanine, also shown in red. The back of
the car is held with a pin joint. The wall moves towards the car with an
increasing velocity. For the three initial conditions, the strength of
the transition structure is adjusted. In the top initial condition, the
front transition structure and the back transition structure are the
same strength. For this initial condition the front mezzanine crushes.
In the middle initial condition, the back transition structure is 20
percent weaker than the front transition structure. For this initial
condition, both the front transition structure and the back transition
structure crush. In the bottom initial condition, the back transition
structure is 25 percent weaker than the front transition structure. For
this initial condition, only the back transition structure crushes.

## Rapid Relaxation of a Granular Step

## Salome Siavoshi and Arshad Kudrolli\*

## *Department of Physics, Clark University, Worcester, MA01610*

We investigate the gravity driven rapid failure of a granular step
composed of non-cohesive steel beads. This situation corresponds to
catastrophic failure as when a cliff-side fails. The step is initially
held together with electromagnets, and released when the current is
switched off. We visualize the surface and the motion of the grains
during the entire relaxation. The initial failure occurs at the surface
and the subsequent flow is also confined to the surface as the step
relaxes to its final state. The final shape of the surface is almost
linear, depends on the initial angle of the step, and is not sensitive
to the size of the grains. The average final slope of the pile is only
slightly lower than the angle of repose of a pile formed by slowly
pouring particles on to a flat surface. The evolution of the step is
compared with a proposed convective-diffusion model of our system. The
qualitative features of the relaxation are captured by the model after a
flow-dependent dissipation parameter is introduced.

Ms. Amy Williams

Defense Acquisition Regulations System

3062 Defense Pentagon

Washington, DC 20301-3062

Dear Ms. Williams,

I am writing to oppose DFARS Case 2008-D024.

Pharr Yarns, LLC would stand to be negatively impacted by the proposed
change. This waiver expansion would cause the loss of revenue to Pharr
Yarns, LLC, the loss of jobs here in North Carolina, and negatively
impact supply chains that are essential to meeting military needs. Pharr
Yarns, LLC is a strong and proud manufacturing company with a deep
history of making High Performance spun yarns for weaving and knitting
companies ultimately making products that protect lives in a variety of
industries including our Armed Forces.

The information in the Federal Register indicates that the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics is
considering expanding the existing waiver to permit the acquisition of
para-aramid fibers and yarns manufactured in any qualifying country
listed in DFARS 225.872-1. These spun yarns are currently made in the
United States by Pharr Yarns, LLC and others; therefore it is not clear
why there is a need to look elsewhere for supply. There is no basis to
open this market to other countries and other companies when there are
viable supply chains here in the United States to meet needs.

The Register goes on to state that procuring articles that contain only
domestic para-aramid fibers and yarns would result in sole-source
contracts or subcontracts for such fibers and yarns: such sole-source
contracts or subcontracts would not be in the best interest of the
Government, except as specifically justified... Under existing rules,
para-aramid fibers from the Netherlands can be and are used; no change
there. There are strong and viable supply chains set up to meet military
needs using either domestic or Dutch para-aramids; changing these rules
would negatively impact not only the spinners, but also the knitters,
weavers, finishers, and garment makers in these important supply chains.
These businesses do not need to be negatively impacted in this regard.

The current supply of Kevlar and Twaron para-aramid fibers is ample to
meet all US military requirements and both companies are expanding their
fiber manufacturing capabilities. Spinning capacity in the United States
fits a similar mold; machinery and labor are both available. Orders from
Pharr's customers will stimulate increasing the capacity. It is my hope
that you will reconsider the proposed change and support the existing
manufacturing industries located here in the United States as we deliver
needed products to the men and women who protect us locally and who
serve in our Armed Forces.

Sincerely,

James C. Sells

Subject: DHS Docket No. USCIS-2007-0060 - concerns about other kind of

abused H1B multiple filings

Dear USCIS director,

My name is Xiaomeng Wu, working as a software engineer in Yahoo!. I am
writing to you about some malpractices about multiple H1B filings.

I am very concerned about some of the loopholes that may have been left
out in this new interim rule about mutiple H1B filings for FY 2009. I
appreciate the new rule about prohibiting the same employers from filing
duplicate or multiple petitions on behalf of a single beneficiary.

However, there is another major concern that in order to increase the
chances in random selection, many aliens are filing multiple H1B
petitions through multiple consulting companies, even some of these
consulting companies ask for deposit to prepare H1B petitions for
non-exisiting job positions. This kind of multiple filings are not for
different business needs, only for the purpose of abusing the system.

Those employers are taking advantage of many aliens\' fears of random
selection by offering to sponsor their H1B, if the aliens are ready to
pay the employers the entire cost of H1B and many other fees.

This kind of multiple H1B filings substantially lower the chances of
other genuine applicants who only files single H1B petition. The
situation is more insidious in the sense that most consultants file
petition without projects, i.e. \'jobs\' at hand.

I request USCIS to re-consider the fairness of the current random
selection strategy.

I request USCIS to first sort applications based on each individual
alien and then perform random selection based on the aliens and not
based on the number of applications received, else this year also lot of
aliens will get an unfair disadvantage in the random selection like last
year. There are many aliens, who had been left out in the random
selection last year due to these malpractices.

Here is one of the true stories posted in the

internet:

http://murthyforum.atinfopop.com/4/OpenTopic?a=tpc&s=1024039761&f=4234032861&m=3451031261

H1B system is intended to bring talents to make contributions to US
business and economy, not to be abused and hence making profits for H1B
petition buyers and sellers!

Thank you,

Xiaomeng Wu
**USDA Rural Development Honors Two U.S. Attorneys**

SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 13, 2005 - Two attorneys in the U.S. Attorney's
Office for the Eastern District of California have been honored by U.S.
Department of Agriculture Rural Development. USDA Rural Development
State Director Paul Venosdel acknowledged the efforts of Assistant U.S.
Attorneys Ana Marie Martel and Kim David Stafford to reduce the agency's
delinquent bankruptcy cases.

In the ceremony in Sacramento where he presented plaques for their
exceptional service to USDA Rural Development, Venosdel told U.S.
Attorney McGregor Scott that Martel and Stafford helped recover nearly
\$5 million in payoff funds from dozens of cases in the Eastern District
of California.

"Ms. Martel took the initiative to meet with our Single Family Housing
Program staff in 2002 and she provided direction to take action on our
most seriously delinquent cases in the Eastern District," said Venosdel.
"Ms. Martel and Mr. Stafford have been involved in more than 80 cases
for lift-stays since that time and continue to work for the benefit of
this agency. Their support and work on this issue is obvious and greatly
appreciated."

Venosdel also noted the work of Jocelyn Trujillo, a legal assistant in
the U.S. Attorney's Office, who worked closely with Martel and Stafford
on the cases.

"Due to the successful results by Ms. Martel, Mr. Stafford and Ms.
Trujillo, our Centralized Servicing Center continue to provide account
information for motion for relief requests in California," said
Venosdel. "The successful results in the eastern District have also
enabled us to move forward in the Northern District, and hopefully the
other bankruptcy districts in the near future."

# Re: [In the Matter of NextWave Personal Communications Inc. and NextWave Power Partners Inc.]{.underline}

Dear Mr. Scott:

This addresses the Notice of Withdrawal From Certain Pleadings, filed in
the above-captioned matter by Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless
("Verizon Wirelesss") on January 15, 2003. These pleadings are listed in
Attachment A to this letter ("Pleadings").

Verizon Wireless filed the Pleadings in connection with certain matters
relating to Auction No. 35, in which Verizon Wireless was one of the
winning bidders. On November 14, 2002, the Commission announced that it
would allow eligible winners in Auction No. 35 the option to request the
dismissal of their pending applications for C and F block Broadband
Personal Communications Services ("PCS") licenses for spectrum that
previously had been licensed to NextWave Personal Communications Inc.,
NextWave Power Partners Inc., or Urban Comm-North Carolina, Inc.[^1]
Verizon Wireless filed a request that its pending applications for
eighty (80) C and F block PCS licenses be dismissed. The Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau reviewed Verizon Wireless' request and granted
the dismissal of its remaining pending applications on December 3,
2002.[^2]

Verizon Wireless states that it withdraws its support for the Pleadings
in light of the Commission's grant of its request for dismissal of its
remaining pending applications in Auction No. 35. Accordingly, pursuant
to section 0.331 of the Commission's rules,[^3] we approve Verizon
Wireless' request to withdraw the Pleadings.

Sincerely,

Today Asel is a university freshman. Just a year ago, this girl from a
small Kyrgyz-Uzbek mixed village in the Ala-Buka Rayon, Jalalabat
Oblast, Kyrgyzstan was kidnapped to be married against her will.
According to the young woman, if not for the lessons learned from the
USAID-supported Civic Education textbook, she would have never been able
to find a way out of that difficult situation.

Asel is one of the many students in the Kyrgyz Republic that have been
studying civics from the USAID-funded Civic Education textbook. The book
helps to spark a debate among students about different social questions
and encourages application of critical thinking in dealing with
challenges in life. One of the topics addressed by the book is the
problem of girls being kidnapped for marriage, ('bride kidnapping") a
social phenomenon widespread in Kyrgyzstan and southern Kazakhstan that
has intensified since 1991. As younger wives in traditional society are
expected to bear the brunt of their extended family's house or farm
work, the kidnapped girls frequently have to leave school without
graduating. Even if they do graduate, the girls seldom continue to a
college education.

Asel still vividly remembers that day in 2005 when she, then an 11^th^
grade student, was kidnapped to be wed. Asel was abducted to the groom's
house, where eventually the village mullah arrived to bless the
marriage. When the mullah started the ceremony, the kidnapped girl
complained that she was against the marriage and that forcing her to
marry violated her rights. Asel referred to the USAID-funded
"Citizenship and Governance" text she had been reading in class and told
the mullah that she was familiar with her rights. She also appealed that
forced marriage was not sanctioned by the Koran. The sympathetic mullah
intervened on her behalf, and Asel was allowed to leave the house of the
man who had kidnapped her. "This is the first time in my life when the
bride interrupted the ritual and refused to marry," explained the
village mullah during his subsequent visit Asel's school where he came
to learn more about the civic education textbook and its content.

Asel's civics teacher Malika Jamalova smiles proudly, "I am glad that
through the civic education course I am able to equip my students with
tools to protect their rights as citizens."

In re: WGNW-LP, Candler, NC

Facility ID No. 133487

Montmorenci United Methodist Church

File No. BAPL-20070824ABZ

**Application for Assignment of License**

**Informal Objection**

Dear Counsel:

We have before us the above-captioned application ("Assignment
Application") to assign the license of Station WGNW-LP, Candler, North
Carolina ("Station") from Montmorenci United Methodist Church ("MUMC")
to WGNW Radio Ministries, Inc. ("WGNW").[^1] Also before us is a
Petition to Deny the Assignment Application, filed by Mount Pisgah
Adventist Educational Media ("Mount Pisgah").[^2] For the reasons stated
below, we dismiss the Assignment Application and dismiss the Petition to
Deny as moot.

**Background.** On December 11, 2007, the Commission released a *Third
Report and Order and Second Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking*
("*Third Report and Order*")[^3] that, among other things, made certain
revisions to the Commission's Rules ("Rules") regarding the assignment
of LPFM licenses. Under the revised Rules, which went into effect on
March 17, 2008,[^4] we now require a three-year holding period from the
issuance of an LPFM license, during which a licensee cannot transfer or
assign the license, and must operate the station.[^5]

MUMC received its license to cover on February 12, 2008.[^6] It
therefore has not yet satisfied the three-year holding period
requirement. Accordingly, because MUMC currently is not qualified to
assign its license, we dismiss the Assignment Application. This finding
renders moot all arguments raised by Mount Pisgah in its Petition to
Deny the Assignment Application.

**Conclusion/Actions**. Based on the above, IT IS ORDERED, that the
Petition to Deny filed by Mount Pisgah Adventist Educational Media IS
DISMISSED AS MOOT, and that the application for approval to assign the
license for the license of Station WGNW-LP, Candler, North Carolina
(File No. BAPL-20070824ABZ) from Montmorenci United Methodist Church to
WGNW Radio Ministries, Inc. IS DISMISSED.

**CERTIFICATION**

On May 24, 2001, the United States of America purchased 5.0 acres of
land adjacent to the W.W Hastings Medical Center from Dr. Charles E.
Carroll and Mildred E. Carroll, his wife.

Title Insurance Policy No. 182-004729 dated May 25, 2001, contained
certain exceptions from coverage as stated therein. The policy was
amended on October 9, 2001, to omit items 2, 3 and 5 from coverage and
to add a utility easement in favor of the City of Tahlequah. Said
utility easement is recorded in Book 680 at Page 268 of the record of
Cherokee County.

I have reviewed the above exceptions and hereby certify that the matters
listed in Schedule B of the said title policy, as amended on October 9,
2001, both documents attached hereto, will not interfere with the
contemplated use of the land by the W.W. Hastings Medical Center.

Signed this \_\_\_\_\_\_\_ day of November, 2001.
