**Condemn Human Rights Abuses in Iran**

**Co-sponsor a resolution recognizing the plight of the Iranian People**

Dear Colleague:

It's time for Congress, the President and the international community to
address the excessive abuses of human rights by Iran's dictatorial
government.  Since the Khomeini revolution in 1979, Iran has been ruled
by a string of tyrants who use religion as an excuse to discriminate
against a majority of the Iranian people. 

Religious, ethnic and gender discrimination are practiced everyday by
the judicial courts and the clerics that run them.  These groups and
anyone critical to the government are given few rights under the law and
no rights in practice.  The government of Iran practices discrimination
against its people through:

-   denial of access to education and employment,

-   seizure of private property,

-   violent suppression of peaceful protest and freedom of assembly,

-   arbitrary arrest and detention,

-   physical and mental torture,

-   cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment such as public executions,
    hanging and stoning,

-   extra judicial killings of dissidents and ordinary citizens.

President Bush has attempted to engage the Iranian government in order
to bring an end to their illegal nuclear weapons program.  The effort
must not end there.  The United States and its allies must continue to
pressure Iran to end the severe human rights violations against its own
citizens.

If you have any questions or would like to become a cosponsor of this
important resolution, please contact Ari Stein in Congressman Michael
McCaul's office at (202) 225 -- 2401, or Gregg Sheiowitz in Congressman
Joe Crowley's office at (202) 225 - 3965.

Sincerely

Dear Mr. Kenneth S. Butcher:

Since I will not be able to attend the November 07 forum, here are a
few, thoughts

you might consider:

1.  Show how metric only data will save manufactures money, since they
    will not have to print dual label goods anymore.

2.  Set up a framework to coordinat3 metric information with sellers of
    in-store packaged items.

3.  Recommend tax breaks for those who spend money to convert their
    operations to full metrics (i.e., printing new labels, buying metric
    measuring devices, training programs, etc.)

I hope these suggestions he1p.

Changing PIs on Established Awards:

1\. The Division Director sends an original signed memo to the SPO
Manager requesting change in PI. The request should reference the award
number(s). (ProjectIDs will not be used.)

2\. SPO CO receives the memo and reviews to see if there is approval
required from the Sponsor. If yes, SPO CO will work with Division
Resource Analyst to obtain Sponsor's approval prior to making the PI
Change.

If the Sponsor doesn't need to approve or after the Sponsor's approval
has been received, the SPO CO brings up the Award Profile Panel and
changes the PI on the Award Profile:

![](media/image1.png){width="5.9944444444444445in"
height="4.354861111111111in"}

![](media/image2.png){width="5.995833333333334in" height="2.5125in"}

![](media/image3.png){width="5.9944444444444445in"
height="4.354861111111111in"}

b.  The PI is now changed on the Award Profile. However, the Divisional
    Resource Analyst will have to change it on the Project ID to make
    the change complete.

3\. The SPO issues a SPAA approving the Change in PI with the Memo from
the Division Director and the Sponsor's approval (if required).

  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
  ![](media/image4.png){width="6.25in" height="7.695138888888889in"}

**EAS ROUTINE TESTING**

In connection with the recent terrorist attacks, and in order to avoid
potential public confusion or fear, the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA), has requested that broadcast stations suspend their
routine weekly and monthly tests of the Emergency Alert System (EAS). In
light of FEMA's request, and after input from the FCC's EAS National
Advisory Committee, we confirm that broadcast stations may suspend their
routine weekly and monthly testing until October 2, 2001. Additionally,
during this period, cable systems need not comply with the rules
regarding the handling of the routine weekly and monthly EAS tests. The
FCC will not take enforcement action against broadcast stations or cable
systems for not complying with the rules relating to these routine EAS
tests during this period. Should an extension be required, an additional
FCC public notice will be issued. All other EAS rules must be complied
with.

Any station that has EAS responsibilities for which routine testing
remains necessary should conduct such routine tests as appropriate.

By the Chief, Enforcement Bureau

For additional information contact Bonnie Gay at (202) 418-1228.

**26 Pakistani High School Students Embark on**

**Two-Week Education Program to U.S.**

***Islamabad, August 13, 2008\--*** The Mission Director of United
States Agency for International Development (USAID), Anne Aarnes,
underlined the need for buildings "cross-cultural understanding" and
termed the exchange programs as the "first step of broadening world
view" of the participating students.

"I know your parents and teachers are proud of your high academic
achievements and your selection for this program," said Ms. Aarnes while
speaking at a send-off ceremony organized here today for the 26
Pakistani high school students who were selected for a two-week science
and technology exchange program in Washington.

The exchange program is part the USAID's \$90 million Links to Learning
(ED-LINKS) program which will teach the students web development,
digital photography and video production. The first batch of students
(14 boys and 12 girls) under this program represents both rural and
urban areas of Islamabad Capital Territory.

"You are going to have once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience
American life firsthand, while also learning more about the latest
information technology," USAID's Aarnes said. "I know that you will be
proud and effective representatives of Pakistan, and that you will form
rewarding friendships with the American students and teachers you meet."

ED-LINKS will send up to 30 students each from Balochistan, Sindh and
the Islamabad Capital Territory every year. Students are selected based
on merit from underprivileged households in these areas. The ED-LINKS
program works in collaboration with the Ministry of Education,
Government of Pakistan.

Since 2002, the U.S. Government through USAID has provided more than \$2
billion to Pakistan to improve economic growth, education, health, and
governance and to assist with earthquake reconstruction.

To Whom it May Concern: As a sibling of six children who were adopted
internationally and parent of a son who was adopted from Vietnam in 2001
and a daughter who was adopted from Morocco in 2003 I am very concerned
about the implentation of the Hague Treaty in the United States. I have
plans to adopt at least two more times, and I am very upset by the fact
that this legislation could make the dreams for my family crumble. If
the Hague Treaty were implented as written many small agencies would be
forced to closed because they could not meet the financial requirements
of the Hague. There is no market for the liability insurance required by
the Hague. My mother owns and operates WORLDWIDE Adoption Services in
Spartanburg, South Carolina. This agency meets the needs of many
families in our community as well as other families across the country.
They offer many post-placement and pre-placement support opportunities
for families. It would be heartbreaking to see WORLDWIDE have to close
as a result of this legislation. It would be devasting to know that they
could not help children find their forever families. My wife and I
recently visited Haiti where we were able meet with many orphans and it
is unthinkable that they may never have forever families . Please
reconsider this legislation and the implications that would result.
Sincerely, Robert Matthew Ewing Dad to Robert Elias Ewing adopted from
Vietnam in 2001 and Sami Victoria Ewing adopted from Morocco in 2003

**Adopted: February 2, 2000 Released: February 4, 2000**

By the Chief, Policy and Rules Branch, Commercial Wireless Division,
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau:

1\. On January 23, 1997, Idaho 6-Clark Limited Partnership filed a
petition to deny the above-captioned application of Alison C.
Pollard/Zeta Trust Partnership, and on February 7, 1997, GAP Cellular
L.C. also filed a petition to deny the above-captioned applications
(collectively "Petitions"). On February 6, 1997, however, the Narrowband
Branch, [^1] on its own motion, dismissed the application as defective.
[^2] We therefore dismiss the Petitions as moot.

2\. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, pursuant to section 4(i) of the
Communications Act, as amended, 47 U.S.C § 154(i), and sections 0.331

**[Comments on plan to turn over 100,000 acres to motorized
vehicles]{.underline}**

Please consider a few basic principles when you make this decision.

ORV use is not the same as other uses like (responsible) hiking or
fishing or hunting. One difference is that ORV use spoils the land for
future generations in ways those other uses don't. A second is that
while hiking or fishing don't ruin the outdoor experience for ORVers,
ORV use does ruin the outdoors for everyone else.

Freedom means doing what you want UNTIL it interferes with others or
until it does long-term damage that cannot be undone.

If ORV users really respect their children and grandchildren and
greatgrandchildren, they will not object to being restricted to a few
"sacrifice" areas that are already ruined and that they can continue to
ruin. There should be NO new land that is not already ruined made
available for this purpose.

The woods are the woods. If people want to drive around, make them the
equivalent of the skateboard parks most towns have made for kids. The
ORVers won't have lost anything -- when they are on their vehicles they
can't hear the birds, the animals are driven away, they can't see the
subtle light on the water or the leaves, they can't smell the pine trees
or cedars. So they don't need to be in the woods in the first place, but
if they must be, give them a small reservation that is damaged beyond
repair already.

Many national publications have documented the fact that the ORV lobby
is funded by the companies that profit from making the vehicles. Your
job as stewards of public land is not to listen to those corporate
special interests but to protect the land for future generations.

Thank you.

Subject: I appreciate having a chance to share my comments

As a gay man, business owner and committed same-sex partner to Bob
Connelly, I am keenly aware how many ways the tax code today is deeply
inequitable and unfair to same-sex couples.

In particular, having my partner\'s health insurance benefits taxable on
our income \-- unlike all other married, heterosexual couples \-- is
deeply unfair and wrong. We should be treated equitably so that we can
continue to provide fair health coverage to all same-sex partners and
not impose those costs on American citizens through reliance on the
public health sector.

**Habitability and Life Survival Potential on Early Mars:**

**Clues from the Red and the Blue Planets**

<ncabrol@mail.arc.nasa.gov>

As Spirit and Opportunity celebrate their one-Martian year anniversary
on the red planet, the exploration of Gusev crater, Meridiani Planum and
the data collected by MGS, MO, and MEx is shaping a new vision of Mars
past habitability. Abundant water, whether at the surface or
underground, and evidence of interaction between volcanic and
hydrological activity point toward a favorable environment for life
early on. However, the geologic record is consistent with major changes
around 3.7 billion years ago and short-lived habitability conditions.
Whether or not life appeared on Mars in the 500 million years between
the cooling of the planet and the Hesperian/Noachian environmental shift
is a question to be documented by future astrobiological missions.
Meanwhile, recent exploration of terrestrial analogs is providing new
clues supporting the hypothesis that, if life appeared on Mars, the
viability of aqueous habitats could have been sustained longer than
expected during climate change. NAI expeditions to some of the highest
lakes in the world located in the Andes suggest that extreme factors
(e.g., UV, temperatures, salinity) do not always combine to generate a
more hostile environment for life. In specific cases, they mitigate each
other's impact, while in others, feedback mechanisms subject life to new
sets of extremes. In environments presenting analogy to Mars 3.7 Ga ago,
this complex interplay provides a plausible model for the evolution of
the aqueous Habitable Zone (aHZ) in martian lakes, in which
environmental feedback mechanisms may have bought time to life in a
changing planet.
