New York, New York 10004

RE: The tariff classification of plain woven rayon/ramie/cotton

blend fabric from Hong Kong.

Dear Ms. Cumins:

In your letter dated October 11, 1990, on behalf of your

client H. Cotler, Inc., you requested a classification ruling.

Two samples of plain woven fabric accompanied your

correspondence. The first, identified as style No. 243-01, is

composed of 52% staple rayon, 26% ramie and 22% cotton. This

fabric contains 24 warp ends per centimeter and 17 filling picks

per centimeter. It is constructed using 31/2 c.c yarns in the

warp and 11/1 c.c. yarns in the filling. The warp yarns consist

wholly of rayon while the filling yarns are an intimate blend of

cotton and ramie. When the fabric is dyed, the variation in fiber

contents between the warp and filling results in the selective

dying of the individual fibers creating a fabric composed of

yarns of different colors. In the case of this fabric, the warp

yarns remain white while the filling yarns are dyed beige. The

second sample, identified as style No. 243-16, is identical in

composition and construction to the first sample. It varies only

in that the fabric has been dyed another color. The warp yarns

and the filling yarns have been dyed different shades of green

which results in a fabric composed of yarns of different colors.

The applicable subheading for both styles of woven fabric

will be 5516.93.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United

States (HTS), which provides for woven fabrics of artificial

staple fibers, other, of yarns of different colors, other. The

duty rate will be 17 percent ad valorem.

Both fabrics fall within textile category designation 218.

Based upon international textile trade agreements, products of

Hong Kong are subject to export license requirements.

The designated textile and apparel category may be

subdivided into parts. If so, visa and quota requirements

applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected. Since

part categories are the result of international bilateral

agreements which are subject to frequent renegotiations and

changes, to obtain the most current information available, we

suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment, the

Status Report on Current Import Quotas (Restraint Levels), an

internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available

for inspection at your local Customs office.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section

177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry

documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the

documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be

brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the

transaction.

Sincerely,

Jean F. Maguire

Dear Customer Relations :

I have been requested to send this letter through Customer Relations by
the T-Mobile Level-3 support group -- in particular, Mathew Hoersch and
Iain MacHutchin. This is in regard to Trouble Ticket #8243. The
enclosure, file name
"[administrative_filtering.pdf](http://roland.grc.nasa.gov/~ivancic/shared/administrative_filtering.pdf)",
illustrates the problem.

NASA Glenn Research Center is working with Cisco System to deploy some
new mobile communication technology know as mobile networking.
<http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/732/Tech/mobile/networks/>

We would like to deploy mobile networking technology over T-Mobile's
GPRS service (see page 7 of the enclosure). We were briefly successful
on August 28, 2003 when we obtained an IP address in the 66.xxx.xxx.xxx
pool. However, when we obtained addresses in the 216.155.xxx.xxx address
pool our incoming packets were administratively filtered if those
packets originated from outside the T-Mobile network. After September 3,
2003, it no longer mattered which address pool we obtained. All packets
originating from outside the T-mobile network were administratively
filtered.

Mathew Hoersch was able to verify this on September 24, 2003. According
to Mathew, this appears to be a new change in policy. We suspect
T-Mobile may have this new policy in place to keep Internet traffic from
searching the GPRS system addresses in order to better utilize the
bandwidth. It may be true that once I obtain an IP address, some
Internet worm or Denial-Of-Service attack could be launched against my
node (host). However, the policy of blindly administratively filtering
incoming packets is a Denial-Of-Service in and of itself. We cannot
utilize the system for peer-to-peer communications, mobile networking or
mobile-ip because of this policy.

Other ISP's such as Verison do not filter incoming packets. We
respectfully request that T-Mobile reconsider either this policy, and/or
provide some unfiltered addresses or at least provide an explanation for
the necessity of such a policy.

Feel free to have someone contact me regarding this policy. Also, if you
need the phone number and name on the account, please contact me via
phone or email. I prefer not to provide it in this letter for privacy
reasons as this is being place on an open Web page.

EXPLOITING *S. CEREVISIAE* FOR THE STUDY OF RNA INTERFERENCE. [Stephanie
Valtierra^1^]{.underline}, Eric Sontheimer\*^2^, Lake Forest College^1^,
Department of Biology, Lake Forest, IL, and Northwestern University^2^,
Department of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology,
Evanston, IL. <debburman@lakeforest.edu>

RNA interference (RNAi) is a powerful regulatory process by which small
noncoding RNAs silence specific genes by targeting and degradation their
messenger RNAs (mRNAs). The RNAi pathway has been examined in several
organisms, but detailed molecular mechanisms are not yet fully
elucidated. To gain further molecular insight, we have focused on two
RNAi mediating proteins in fruit flies, R2D2 and Dcr-2. We hypothesized
that the genetically tractable yeast *S. cerevisiae* will be a powerful
system for manipulating Dcr-2 and R2D2 and uncover new insight into
their genetic regulation. Yeasts do not have an RNAi pathway, so R2D2
and Dcr-2 must be first expressed in yeast. As the initial step in this
process, I chose EGFP, a green fluorescent protein, as a fluorescence
tag to track R2D2 and Dcr-2 in yeast. I first engineered in a NcoI site
within the EGFP cDNA so that a recipient gene containing an NcoI site
(R2D2 and Dcr-2) could be ligated to it. The presence of this NcoI site
was confirmed via PCR. Next, this modified EGFP was subcloned into TOPO
vectors, expressed in bacteria, and its sequence was confirmed as full
length and unmutated. Once we generate fusion constructs between
R2D2/Dcr-2 and EGFP, a mutagenic analysis of these proteins will be
possible, helping us understand their functions in RISC assembly.

**HarvestPlus**

**"HarvestPlus: Breeding crops for better nutrition."**

Dr. Christine Hotz is responsible for developing and implementing the
nutrition research and development component of HarvestPlus. As
nutrition coordinator she helps shape the plant breeding and
biofortification strategy to ensure HarvestPlus crops have a measurable
impact on human health including tackling the complex issues surrounding
micronutrient bioavailability, nutrient retention, efficacy and
effectiveness. Before joining HarvestPlus her research focused on zinc
and iron absorption from cereal-based diets and methods to evaluate zinc
status and improve zinc absorption. Dr. Hotz is a Canadian citizen and
received her PhD in Nutrition from the University of Otago in New
Zealand.

It has been estimated that micronutrient malnutrition affects nearly 2
billion people in the developing world. Iron, zinc and vitamin A
deficiencies alone are having profound negative effects on health,
growth, and cognitive development. In some countries, nearly fifty
percent of children lack one or more of these essential nutrients. Until
recently, nutritional supplements, commercial fortificants, and
diversifying diets were the only strategies available to challenge this
enormous problem. Biofortification -- increasing the nutrient density of
food crops through plant breeding -- is now being seen as an additional
frontline weapon in the war against chronic under nutrition. By
increasing the nutrient content of the major foods that are produced and
eaten by the rural poor, biofortification can provide a critical
complementary intervention to other largely urban-based programs.
HarvestPlus, the Biofortification Challenge Program of the Consultative
Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR), is harnessing the
powers of agriculture and nutrition research to breed
micronutrient-dense staple foods.

**Dr. Christine Hotz will present the complex challenges associated with
ensuring micronutrient bioavailability and retention and testing the
efficacy of these emerging nutrient-dense staple foods.**

# **Post Treatment Surveillance for Women with Epithelial Ovarian Cancer**

Goal: Surveillance is meant to identify recurrence. There are treatment
options for recurrent disease though they are not curative. Early
detection of recurrence does not change outcome. Therefore surveillance
should be flexible.

-   These guidelines apply to women who have completed primary therapy
    (surgery with removal of both ovaries plus Platinum based
    chemotherapy) and are without evidence of disease.

-   Germ cell tumors and stromal tumors of the ovary are rare and have
    different treatment options as well as different serum markers.
    Those patients will require modification of the guideline.

-   Borderline tumors of the ovary have a better prognosis and are
    treated surgically both for primary and recurrent disease. Effective
    treatment for recurrence raises the value of surveillance for these
    patients.

-   Patients who had conservative management of a low stage ovarian
    malignancy with preservation of an ovary will require modified
    surveillance.

-   Ca-125 will be a useful marker for most epithelial ovarian cancers.
    If the serum marker was not elevated at diagnosis it may not be
    useful in follow up.

# Ca-19-9, Inhibin, AFP and Beta-HCG can all be useful markers for specific uncommon types of ovarian cancer. Many tumors have no useful marker. 

-   Most ovarian cancer is of an advanced stage when diagnosed. There is
    no recommended screening test for ovarian cancer.

-   Metastatic primary and recurrent disease is usually confined to the
    abdomen.

-   Though most of these patients eventually die of their cancer,
    current treatment that includes tumor reductive surgery followed by
    chemotherapy achieves complete response in 2/3 of patients. This
    translates to a disease free interval of two to three years for most
    patients.

-   If the cancer recurs curative treatment is rarely possible and
    therapy should focus on palliative goals.

-   Both 2^0^ debulking surgery and 2^0^ chemotherapy may have
    significant benefit to patients with recurrence even when they are
    not curative, particularly for those patients who had a long disease
    free interval after 1^0^ therapy.

-   Screening for other malignancies and options for hormone replacement
    are not altered with this diagnosis.

## Scheduled follow up

**Clinical Exam** 3-4 times each year for the first 5 years

1.  Pelvic with Pap and general Physical

2.  History focused on abdominal symptomatology (pain, bloating,
    dyspepsia, frequency)

3.  Ca-125 or applicable marker

**Imaging Studies** none scheduled routinely

1.  CT of Abd/Pelvis based on Clinical Exam

2.  Yearly ultrasound for patients with an ovary

## Consultation with Gynecologist or Gynecologic Oncologist

1.  OB/Gyn staff is available for follow up visits in field clinics and
    at ANMC X 2years

2.  At least yearly for patients with no evidence of disease

3.  When recurrence is diagnosed or suspected

4.  Whenever treatment plan or follow up is changed

Investigate Standby Energy Use of New Internet Technology

Dale Sartor of the Applications Team (A-Team) recently switched his home
computer to fast DSL access to the Internet. Noticing that the power
supply and modem run hot to the touch, Dale contacted Alan Meier and
Karen Rosen of the Energy Analysis Department. They outfitted him with a
power monitor and sent him back home.

Sure enough, Dale found these devises can add 26% or 14 watts of
"standby" load:

Equipment unplugged from power supply

^2^ Computer off or in Energy Star™ "sleep" mode

In the mode that many users leave their computer, the 67 watts of
standby energy is about half the total energy when the computer and
monitor is on, connected at high speed to the internet, and printing
(138 watts on Dale's PC).

The computer monitor remains the largest energy consumer for PC
components. When Dale's 17" monitor is on it consumes 52 to 61 watts
(low when the screen is black and high with full colors). Many people
use a screen saver. **Screen savers don't save energy**. Therefore,
standby energy use of a personal computer with a screen saver almost
doubles. On Dale's PC it increases to 122 watts. Fortunately Dale has an
Energy Star ™ compliant monitor which powers down into a "sleep" mode
after a set length of inactivity. His monitor goes to sleep after 15
minutes and the standby losses are reduced to 67 watts (with only 2
watts going to the monitor). Unfortunately, many computers that have
this feature, don't have it activated.

The DSL modem and router added 26% to Dale's standby power consumption.
In many cases turning the computer components off can eliminate standby
power consumption. Karen Rosen reminds us that even that may leave the
power supply and some internal equipment components "on" (11 watts in
Dale's case). Alan Meier's recommendation -- Turn off power at the power
strip to eliminate all "leaking electricity" to power supplies and
equipment.
**Analysis of Hierarchical Models: Examples**

Here is a sample dataset, analysis code, and model output from a run of
Program BUGS (Bayesian inference Using Gibbs Sampling,
<http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/>). Note that Program BUGS is needed
to conduct these analyses, or even to view the file. It is available
from the BUGS project website (<http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/bugs/>),
and the first step in conducting this sort of analysis would be to
download the program (we used version 1.3 for this analysis) and install
it on your computer.

It would be a very good idea to spend some time learning the basic use
of the program. It can be used for many statistical applications, but
like any sophisticated program it has many conventions and format
details that must be understood before you can effectively use the
program.

-   Here is the Orange-crowned Warbler analysis ([OCWA
    Example.odc](../OCWA%20example.odc))

-   Here is the Distance Analysis of Orange-crowned Warbler analysis
    [(OCWA Analysis.dst](../Ocwa_Analysis.dst))

(Note: Both of these links lead to input files for the statistical
packages (BUDS and DISTANCE, respectively. They must be read into the
program to be viewed, and attempts to call them up using text editors
will only product gibberish).

Frankly, this analysis represents a quite sophisticated attempt to
overcome some serious deficiencies in the structure of the study. The
differences between observers play a major role in the analysis, and any
final analysis of these data should redo the Distance analysis to verify
that the between observer differences are real.

By the Chief, Video Division:

1\. By [Report and Order]{.underline} in this proceeding (DA 02-1687),
released July 19, 2002, the Commission substituted DTV channel \*12c for
DTV \*22 for station WGTV at Athens, Georgia. However, DTV channel \*12
was inadvertently published without the "c" designation. By this
Erratum, the correct DTV channel allotted at Athens, Georgia, for

**Item Backup Comment and Scoring Checklist**

⁭**Comment includes Criteria requirements.**

It contains clear and correct reference(s) to the Criteria requirements
being addressed (i.e., it includes pivotal Criteria words without
"parroting").

⁭**Comment provides meaningful feedback.**

It addresses what is important not only with regard to the Criteria, but
also with regard to the organization based on relevant key factors.

⁭**Comment addresses the relevant evaluation factors (ADLI or LeTCI).**

It provides insight on the organization's level of maturity or on
specific areas in which maturity may be enhanced (e.g., deployment to
most critical groups, lack of cycles of refinement of processes critical
to a key factor, integration of a process throughout functional areas of
an organization, lack of results in key areas, lack of segmentation in
results for critical groups).

⁭**When relevant, OFI comments include a "so what."**

The "so what" is usually linked to a key factor and provides a rationale
for the comment's importance.

⁭**Results comments cite figure numbers and include specific data**
(e.g., "increased from 45% to more than 90% from 2003 to 2006 \[Figure
7.1-7\]").

⁭**Data are correct.**

All figures cited, processes named, and results included have been
checked against the application to ensure that they are correct.

⁭**Scoring reflects the content of the comments.**

From a holistic standpoint, the range and score reflect the relative
significance of the comments (i.e., content and significance of bolded
comments) and are most descriptive of the organization's achievement
level for the Item. For example, if comments indicate that overall
requirements are addressed, processes are mostly deployed, evaluation
and improvement and some organizational learning are demonstrated, and
alignment is observed, the scoring range for the Item would likely be
50--65%.

⁭**Scoring reflects the balance of the comments.**

A total of around six comments are distributed in a way that reasonably
reflects the score. For example, a score of 45% may reflect three
strengths and three OFIs of equal weight, while a score of 70% may
include four major strengths and two OFIs addressing a specific aspect
of a multiple requirement. Strict ratios are not required. Instead, a
reasonable distribution should reflect the score and the content of the
comments.
