# Abstract

Building on a decade's success teaching intermediate-level Modern
Standard Arabic (MSA) while providing an introduction to Moroccan
Arabic, the Tangier Summer Arabic Language Program (TSALP), directed by
Dr. Driss Cherkaoui of the College of William and Mary, will now shift
to offering coursework primarily in advanced-level MSA while continuing
to provide an introduction to Moroccan dialect. Applications will be
accepted nationwide from undergraduate or graduate students who have
completed two or more years of MSA or are completing their fourth
semester of the language at the time of application. The program is
designed to accept up to 16 students in third- and fourth-year MSA.

TSALP is sponsored by AIMS (the American Institute of Maghrib Studies),
the professional association supporting academic research on North
Africa. Classes are held at the American School in Tangier. Students
also have access to the research facilities of the Tangier-American
Legation Museum. Classes in Moroccan dialect give students first-hand
experience with Arabic diglossia, helping prepare them to use both MSA
and dialectal Arabic in appropriate ways. Lectures, field trips and
travel also offer an introduction to North Africa and North African
studies.
**2008-2012 HWRF UPGRADE PLAN**

**Data assimilation:**

-   **Advanced initialization for hurricane core -- assimilate airborne
    Doppler radar observations to define storm strength and storm
    structure in HWRF analyses.**

-   **Continuous upgrades to HWRF hurricane core initialization through
    advanced 4-D data assimilation for winds and reflectivity**

**Model resolution upgrades:**

-   **Increase resolution: Horizontal resolution 1-6km, Vertical
    resolution \~100 levels (dependent on results of current studies).**

-   **Hurricane ensembles: High-resolution hurricane model ensembles.
    Work on development of HWRF ensembles (in progress).**

**Model Physics:**

-   **Continuous upgrades to atmospheric/ocean boundary layer (fluxes),
    microphysics, deep convection (cloud-resolving scales), radiation**

**Other upgrades:**

-   **Coupling to land surface model with advanced surface physics for
    improved rainfall forecasts at landfall. Important input to
    hydrology and stream flow models which will address inland
    flooding.**

-   **Advanced Wave Model (WAVEWATCH III) to forecast waves up to the
    beach, i.e. improve non-linear interactions, surf-zone shallow water
    physics, wave interactions with currents.**
[Tune Mode Generator Setup:]{.underline}

This note outlines a procedure for installing and aligning elements for
producing a waveform (on/off) of optical pulses, our so-called Tune Mode
Generator, from a CW laser.

[Equipment needed:]{.underline}

a.  Laser (1)

b.  Glan-Thompson Prism Polarizer (2)

c.  Halfwave plate nominally close to the laser wavelength (1)

d.  Pockels cell (1)

e.  Spinning analyzer (1)

f.  Power meter (1)

g.  High voltage Pockels cell driver capable of QWV (quarterwave
    voltage) at 50% duty factor and either polarity HWV (halfwave
    voltage) at desired waveform. (1)

h.  2-channel oscilloscope (1)

[Procedure:]{.underline}

a.  About 12"-18" are required for the optics and alignment diagnostics.

b.  Layout the elements in the following pattern:

> L1 : P1 : HWP : PC : SA : P2 : PM
>
> L1 = laser
>
> P1 = cleanup polarizer
>
> HWP = halfwaveplate
>
> PC = Pockels cell
>
> SA = spinning analyzer
>
> P2 = pulsed mode polarizer
>
> PM = power meter

c.  Insert L1 and PM. Measure the laser power \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ at PM.

d.  Insert P1 and align P1 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ for max power
    \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ at PM.

e.  Insert P2 and align P2 \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ for max power
    \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ at PM.

f.  Insert HWP and align HWP \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ for min
    power \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ at PM.

g.  Retract HWP, providing it can be equally re-inserted later (e.g.,
    via controller).

h.  Insert PC, SA, and align using standard Pockels cell alignment
    procedure using QWV at 50% duty factor.

i.  Remove SA and re-insert HWP.

j.  Suitably connect PM output to oscilloscope and apply HV waveform to
    PC.

k.  Adjust HV driver HWV (max. signal) and Null (min. signal) to achieve
    desired waveform on oscilloscope. It is helpful to trigger the scope
    on the waveform.

l.  To help achieveing a good min. signal it may be necessary to adjust
    be a couple degrees the angular orientation of the HWP to "bias" the
    elliptical polarizartion slightly in the opposite direction on which
    the HV driver Null setpoint acts.

m.  Remove PM.

Re: Call Sign E930320

File No. SES-MOD-20080409-00444

Dear Mr. Swanson:

On April 9, 2008, Vizada, Inc. (Vizada) filed the above-captioned
application to modify its Ku-Band[^1] Earth Station on board Vessel
(ESV) license to add up to 350 new 1.5 meter antennas[^2] and add new
emissions. Pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission's rules,
47 C.F.R. § 25.112(a)(1), we dismiss without prejudice to refiling the
portion of the application that seeks to use the 1M43G1W and 2M35G1W
emissions.

Section 25.112 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.112, requires
the Commission to return, as unacceptable for filing, any earth station
application that is not substantially complete, contains internal
inconsistencies, or does not substantially comply with the Commission's
rules. A portion of Vizada's application is internally inconsistent,
which renders it unacceptable and subject to dismissal. The deficiency
is as follows:

In response to item E48 of Schedule B, Vizada lists the maximum EIRP per
carrier for emission 1M43G1W as 55.0 dBW and for emission 2M35G1W as
57.2 dBW. These values are higher than, and therefore inconsistent with,
the 52.0 dBW Total EIRP for all carriers listed in response to item E40
of Schedule B. Given these inconsistencies, we cannot determine the
proposed emission power for emissions 1M43G1W and 2M35G1W. Thus, the
portion of Vizada's application seeking to use the 1M43G1W and 2M35G1W
emissions in the 14.0-14.5 GHz band is defective.

Accordingly, pursuant to Section 25.112(a)(1) of the Commission's rules,
47 C.F.R. §25.112(a)(1), and Section 0.261 of the Commission's rules on
delegations of authority, 47 C.F.R. §0.261, we dismiss the application
to the extent above without prejudice to refiling.[^3]

D-1 On-Orbit Satellite Peformance

The current National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Polar
Orbiting Environmental Satellite (POES) constellation consists of the
N15, N16, N17, and N18 satellites. As of May 2008, N18 (1336 LAN) is the
primary operational afternoon satellite and the N17 (2158 LAN) satellite
is performing as the back-up to the Eumetsat-provided MetOp A (2131 LAN)
satellite operated by Eumetstat in the morning orbit. Due to the
uniqueness of the orbit plane, the recovery of N15 (1706 LAN) global
data on a full-time, operational basis. This continues to benefit the
Argos community greatly as the global coverage provided by N15,
complements the N18 and MetOp/N17 orbit planes, producing an effective 3
satellite constellation. A testing effort to implement the NPOESS
Svalbard facility into the satellite operation for receiving and
transferring "blind orbit GAC data" (relative to NOAA's FCDA and WCDA
facilities) from non-IJPS satellites (N17 and N15) is still underway.
The operational use of the "proof of concept" portal into SOCC was not
approved and the design and implementation of a second, dedicated portal
for the NPOESS Svalbard data recovery effort was undertaken. It is
expected that testing of this second portal will be done in late
2008/early 2009.

**400/810.1 PURPOSE** The purpose of the Workers' Compensation Program
is to establish a comprehensive and consistent approach to BPA's
compliance with Department of Labor (DOL) Office of Workers'
Compensation Program (OWCP) requirements.

**400/810.2 POLICY** The Bonneville Power Administration is committed to
maintaining the health, safety and welfare of its employees. This can be
accomplished by integrating safety into the performance of work. All
employees must work together to ensure that work is performed in a safe
manner and to identify potential problem areas as they arise. It is only
through a conscientious effort on everyone's part that safe behaviors
are reinforced and accidents reduced.

Employees injured on the job will receive the necessary medical
treatment as quickly as possible and will return to duty as soon as is
practicable. If the situation dictates, the employee will be temporarily
placed in a position consistent with the medical restrictions stipulated
by the doctor with the intent that the employee will be returned to
his/her original position of record when he/she is recuperated. If it is
determined that the employee cannot return to his/her original position,
every effort will be made to accommodate the employee by placement in a
position consistent with individual capabilities and any medical
restrictions. Injured employees will be returned to gainful employment
as soon as medically prudent.

**USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT PRESENTS \$526,000 LOAN**

**TO VILLAGE OF CLAYTON**

CLAYTON, N.Y., October 2, 2008 -- U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural
Development State Director Patrick H. Brennan today presented a
ceremonial check for \$526,000 to the Village of Clayton.

The funding was provided through USDA Rural Development's Water and
Environmental Program and will be used to make water system improvements
in the Village. The funding is being distributed as a loan and terms are
30 years at 3.75 percent.

"Our Water and Environmental Program helps small communities like
Clayton improve their water and wastewater infrastructure and is a
crucial tool in our efforts to improve the quality of life in our rural
areas," State Director Brennan. "These water system improvements will
enable the Village to improve water service and fire protection for its
residents."

"On behalf of the Village of Clayton, we are grateful for this and many
past projects made possible through the assistance of USDA, and our
representatives in Albany and Washington," said Clayton Mayor Norma
Zimmer. "The addition of a fairly remote portion of the Village to the
municipal water system has long been needed and is now a reality,
fostering additional development of vacant land within the Village
limits."

USDA Rural Development's mission is to increase economic opportunity and
improve the quality of life for rural residents. In fiscal year 2007,
USDA Rural Development invested more than \$262 million in New York,
raising its total investment in the state to more than \$1.5 billion
since 2001. Further information on rural programs is available by
contacting the State Office at (315) 477-6400 or by visiting USDA\'s web

BCAT-3 weekly report (12 April 2004) for collected highlights.

**Astronaut Mike Foale wins critical acclaim from NASA investigators for
his photographs that capture dynamic critical phenomena.**

The Principal Investigators for the BCAT-3 experiment that is presently
operating on the International Space Station (ISS) have compiled the
photographs that astronaut Mike Foale has taken during the first 11 days
of this bench-top microgravity experiment.  The quality of these
photographs is being described as outstanding. Figure 1 shows the
dynamic process of phase separation for the first six BCAT-3 samples
from Harvard (David Weitz and Peter Lu). Because these samples are very
close to the critical point (a unique point where a liquid and gas are
no longer distinguishable), those samples which do phase separate,
separate very slowly. This is because near the critical point the
surface tension is MUCH lower (since the correlation lengths are
larger). This process is important in many areas, some of which are
mentioned at <http://exploration.grc.nasa.gov/life/bcat3_iss.html>.
Using colloids to study criticall phenomena is nice because colloids are
much bigger than atoms; for these samples the times scales are slowed
down (Figure 2) and length scales are easily visualized (please see
Figure 1).

It\'s still too early to make any definitive comments on the U. Penn
surface crystallization samples (samples 8, 9, and 10).  Professor Yodh
and Jian Zhang at U. Penn. have noticed what may be phase separation in
sample 10; and they are seeing hints of what may be the presence of
surface crystals in sample 9.

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="5.986805555555556in"
height="7.521527777777778in"}

Figure 1 shows the time evolution of those samples in the BCAT-3
experiment that are undergoing phase separation. Sample 1 is completely
phase separated and samples 4 and 5 have not phase separated, as
expected. This allows the critical point to be determined to within a
1/10 of a percent.

colloid-rich regions of the BCAT-3 samples (1-6) as a function of time.

**OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR RICHARD C. SHELBY**

*"Reforming the Regulation of the Government-Sponsored Enterprises"*

3-6-08

"Number range CHAPTERThank you, Mr. Chairman."

"In the past decade, the GAO has completed a number of important studies
on the topic of GSEs. We are fortunate to have this body of work to draw
from as we consider regulatory reform. I look forward to discussing
their analysis and conclusions this morning."

"I believe comprehensive reform is absolutely necessary because the GSEs
play such a vital role in our mortgage markets. Congress must be
mindful, however, that the GSEs are not immune from the risks in the
market place. The GSEs have already experienced large losses even while
operating in the more credit-worthy sector of the mortgage business."

"Because these institutions pose a significant systemic risk to our
financial system the Committee needs to put forward a strong, credible
bill. We must put in place a GSE regulator that has the necessary
independence, strength and credibility to carry out its mandate to
ensure that all of the housing GSEs fulfill their public mission in a
safe and sound manner."

"If we do this correctly, we will preserve the vital role of the GSEs
and protect the American taxpayer. If we do not, we could do great harm
to both."

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman."

Lignin, second only to cellulose as a source of fixed carbon in the
biosphere, is generally considered to be highly resistant to rapid
biological degradation. White rot fungi, the primary lignin decomposers,
produce various extracellular redox enzymes and electron transfer
mediators, which are thought to facilitate degradation of polymeric
lignin. Although the enzymes, such as lignin peroxidase,
manganese-dependent peroxidase, and laccase are extracellular,
confirmation of direct enzyme-lignin interaction is unclear.
Enzyme-mediated electron transfer from lignin molecules to oxidized
cofactors such as Mn^+3^ and H~2~O~2~ is thought to be enhanced by the
ability of these low molecular weight compounds to penetrate the wood
ultrastructure and carry out oxidation of lignin *in situ*, where steric
hindrances make direct enzyme interaction unlikely. Laccase in
particular has been implicated in the mediation of both depolymerization
of high molecular weight lignin and polymerization of lignin and lignin
precursors. In this study, we use high-pressure size exclusion
chromatography (HPSEC) coupled to multi angle laser light scattering
(MALLS) detection to determine the effect of several enzymes and
cofactors on the molecular weight distribution of treated kraft lignin
**Comprehensive Query of Large Genomes Using Tiling Microarrays**

Viktor Stolc, PhD

Identification of the transcribed regions in model organisms as well as
the human genome is one of the major challenges of postgenomic biology
for understanding human physiology. Empirical transcriptome mapping,
using whole-genome tiling microarrays has been shown to be the most
comprehensive and unbiased approach. This novel method uses high-density
oligonucleotide microarrays with probes chosen uniformly from both
strands of the entire genomes including all gene-coding and intergenic
regions. By hybridizing the microarrays with tissue specific or pooled
total RNA samples, a genome-wide picture of transcription can be
derived. The comprehensive transcriptome analysis enables identification
of the genetic basis of biological phenotypes and revealed transcribed
sequences not detected by other methods. Advancement of microarray
design to enable probing of polygenetic samples will significantly
improve medical diagnostics and efficacy of treatment in human diseases.

Comprehensive genome-wide analysis of transcription can be performed
rapidly with high-density oligonucleotide microarrays designed to encode
unique sequences that hybridize only to their intended complement RNA
sequences. Significant computational resources are required to compute
all possible sequence variants for the microarray design.

RE: The tariff classification of cosmetics brush sets with cases from
China.

Dear Mr. Richardson:

In your letter dated August 28, 1997, on behalf of Drummers West Ltd.,
you requested a tariff classification ruling.

The submitted samples are three sets of four assorted cosmetics brushes
in zippered cases. Each set contains the following:

1 - deluxe powder brush with natural goat hair bristles

1 - dome powder brush with natural goat hair bristles

1 - shading brush with natural pony hair bristles

1 - eyebrow comb/brush with synthetic nylon bristles

Each assortment is packed in one of three different flocked plastic
cases. The cases, which are rectangular in shape, feature compartments
to hold the brushes and measure approximately 6\" x 8 1/2\" x 2\" when
zipped. Noting GRI 5(a), the pouches are specially shaped to contain the
brushes and are of a kind normally sold with such brushes. The pouches
would therefore be classified under the same provision as the brushes
since they are sold and marketed with the brushes.

The applicable subheading for the cosmetics brush sets with cases will
be 9603.30.6000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for artists\' brushes, writing brushes and similar
brushes for the application of cosmetics: valued over 10 cents each. The
rate of duty will be 1.2% ad valorem.

Please note that the zippered cases, if imported and presented on their
own, will be classified under a different tariff number and would be
subject to quota and visa restrictions.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact
National Import Specialist Lawrence Mushinske at 212-466-5739.
