1120 Stakeholders

Assurance Testing (ATS) continues and we are pleased to announce that we
have three software developers that have passed. We would like to thank
those of you who are participating for your patience and cooperation
during this process. It is a pleasure working with you.

# XML Schemas

We are presenting you today with a new version of the Tax Year 2003 XML
schemas for Modernized e-File Release 1 forms and schedules for
1120/1120S. The schemas are version 5.0 (2003V05) and can be found on
the irs.gov website under Production Release at
<http://www.irs.gov/taxpros/providers/article/0,,id=97626,00.html>.

These schemas include additional tax law and form changes that have been
received to date. Please continue to use the September 4, 2003 version
on the web for ATS until further notice. We have targeted January 19,
2004 date to incorporate this January version into ATS and will
communicate with you when they will be available for testing. Also
included are "Diff Files" that show the changes from the November 14,
2003 posting.

It was out intention to test with Version 4.0 in December 2003 but
circumstances prevented that so we are going directly to Version 5.0 to
prepare for live implementation on February 6, 2004.

# Business Rules

Business Rules for Release 1 forms for version 5.0 (2003V05) are being
posted today in two different formats -- a MS Word file and a comma
separated file (.csv) that contains the very same information. We did
not include the "Alerts" in this file. As previously discussed with you,
the "Alerts" will be implemented in a future release and we are
currently in the process of restating them in the same format as the
"rejects". The business rules are posted under Other Documents at
<http://www.irs.gov/taxpros/providers/article/0,,id=97626,00.html>.

Each rule file is assigned the same version number that is assigned to
the schemas to which the rules apply. The current schemas and rules
files are assigned version number 2003 Version 5 (2003V05).

As always if you have any questions or comments, please contact us
through the Topica group or the ETA 1120 Team at <1120@irs.gov>. You can
also contact Xan Ostro from our ITS team at (202) 283-7697 or Joan Barr

**Dirt, It's What's for Dinner**

by Steven Graber, Resource Soil Scientist

Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)

Dodge City, Kansas

Many years ago, 1984 to be exact, I came home from a long day of playing
(Oh, I mean working) in the dirt and opened the day's paper. On about
page 4 or 5 was an article that really caught my eye. One titled,
"Custom of eating dirt is declining." Now being the young inquisitive
soil scientist that I was, my interest was piqued.

This was my introduction to "geophagy", the practice of eating soil. I
had never heard of such a thing. You mean that these people actually go
out of their way to chow down on their favorite seasoned, raw clay? Now
I have been known to now and again taste the soil I am sampling or
describing, but not necessarily for the purpose of enjoying the taste of
a good old Typic Argiustoll. Just a little pinch between your cheek and
gum will help you to determine if there is any sand or grit in it, but
that is as far as my desire goes. I often mention this to the school
groups I talk to, and receive some pretty astonished looks from students
as well as their teachers.

Now the practice of eating soil does have some claimed benefits, aside
from just liking the taste and texture of it. Is it that aboriginal
innate tendency to feed a special nutritional need in us, or is it
something else? For centuries the consumption of soil has been a common
practice with pregnant women in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is presumed that
the practice of geophagy in the southern United States is a tradition
left over from the days of slavery. One of the advantages of eating clay
during pregnancy may be the

calming effect that it has on the gastrointestinal system during bouts
of nausea and morning sickness. White clays are generally composed of
kaolin. Many of today's stomach medications such as Rolaids, Maalox, and
the like contain the same compounds as found in white kaolin clays. Why
do you think the name of the stuff is Kaopectate?

Now do I propose the consumption of soil as a substitute for the better
foods of the world? No. Do I suggest giving a pound or two of spiced
clay as a gift to any pregnant woman? Absolutely not. I would rather eat
it myself than face that wrath. Give me a good old soil burger any day.
Ask any of my students what a soil burger is and they will tell you. As
for the rest of you, figure it out for yourselves.

For more information about soils, please contact your local Natural
Resources Conservation Service office or conservation district office
located at your local county USDA Service Center. Also more information
about soils is available at

**ERRATUM**

**Adopted**: **November 24, 1999** **Released**: **November 24, 1999**

By the Chief, Telecommunications Division:

1\. On August 20, 1999, the Telecommunications Division, International
Bureau, issued a *Memorandum, Opinion, Order and Authorization*, DA
99-1637, granting the joint application of the participating parties[^1]
(collectively "Joint Applicants") for authority, pursuant to Section 214
of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, 47 U.S.C. §214, to (1)
construct, acquire, and operate capacity in a digital submarine cable
system, the COLUMBUS-III Cable System (COLUMBUS-III), between the United
States, Italy, Spain and Portugal; (2) acquire by lease or other
comparable means extension facilities as may be required to extend the
capacity of COLUMBUS-III; and (3) activate capacity in COLUMBUS-III and
in the aforementioned facilities for the provision of the Joint
Applicants' authorized services.[^2]

2\. This erratum amends paragraph 15 of the *Memorandum, Opinion, Order
and Authorization* by deleting the sentence "\[I\]n response, the other
Joint Applicants point out that the Robinson-Patman Act applies only to
'commodities of like grade and quality,'[^3]^3^ and they argue that none
of the interests at issue here are covered by that term." Accompanying
footnote 23 is also deleted.

3\. This erratum also amends footnote 16 of the *Memorandum, Opinion,
Order and Authorization*. The citation in footnote 16 was intended to
reference back to the citation to the September 1998 *ex parte* in
footnote 14, and was mistakenly written as an *id.* citation. Therefore,
we amend footnote 16 to read as follows: "[^4]^6^ *See supra* note 14,
para. 5." With this amendment, the subsequent *id.* citations in
footnotes 17 and 18 also reference back to the September 1998 *ex parte*
contained in footnote 14.

**§1.944 Discharge of indebtedness; reporting requirements.**

\(a\) Before discharging a delinquent debt (also referred to as a close
out of the debt), VA shall take all appropriate steps to collect the
debt in accordance with 31 U.S.C. 3711(g), including, as applicable,
administrative offset, tax refund offset, Federal salary offset,
referral to Treasury or Treasury-designated debt collection centers or
private collection contractors, credit bureau reporting, wage
garnishment, litigation, and foreclosure. Discharge of indebtedness is
distinct from termination or suspension of collection activity under
§§1.940 through 1.943 and is governed by the Internal Revenue Code (see
26 U.S.C. 6050P). When collection action on a debt is suspended or
terminated, the debt remains delinquent and further collection action
may be pursued at a later date in accordance with the standards set
forth in §§1.900 through 1.953. When VA discharges a debt in full or in
part, further collection action is prohibited. Therefore, VA should make
the determination that collection action is no longer warranted before
discharging a debt. Before discharging a debt, VA must terminate debt
collection action.

\(b\) Upon discharge of an indebtedness, VA must report the discharge to
the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in accordance with the requirements
of 26 U.S.C. 6050P and 26 CFR 1.6050P-1. VA may request Treasury or
Treasury-designated debt collection centers to file such a discharge
report to the IRS on VA's behalf.

\(c\) When discharging a debt, VA must request that any liens of record
securing the debt be released.

\(d\) 31 U.S.C. 3711(i)(2) requires agencies to sell a delinquent nontax
debt upon termination of collection action if the Secretary of the
Treasury determines such a sale is in the best interests of the United
States. Since the discharge of a debt precludes any further collection
action (including the sale of a delinquent debt), VA may not discharge a
debt until the requirements of §3711(i)(2) have been met. (Authority: 31
U.S.C. 3711; 38 U.S.C. 501).

Item: Power cords used with General Electric (GE) Dinamap Vital Signs
Monitors, all models distributed between June 2001 and October 2002.

Specific Incident: A VA medical center reported ground pins breaking on
the power cords used with GE Dinamap Vital Signs Monitors. This
compromises one of the safety features designed to limit patients\' risk
of electrical shock, should an electrical fault occur in the equipment.
GE has identified 39 VA sites that may have the affected cords; although
unlikely, other sites may be affected. Unless the pin has broken,
patient safety is not compromised.

Action: 1. Check the medical equipment inventory to determine if the
specified monitors are in use at the facility.

2\. Immediately replace any cords with a broken ground pin with another
spare power cord that is not affected by this notice.

3\. Determine the total number of power cords affected by this notice,
whether they show broken ground pins or not. They can be identified by
their manufacture date code as follows. Two numbers are imprinted on the
hot and neutral blades; one is the week and the other is the year of
manufacture. Blades made between (week - year) 09 - 01 and 16 - 02 are
affected.

4\. Contact General Electric to replace all the power cords affected by
this notice. The contact at GE is Erik Granby; he can be contacted at
(813) 887-2545 or via e-mail at <erik.granby@med.ge.com>

Dear Jacqueline:

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to review and comment on the
Ecological Risk Assessment for the reregistration of sodium chlorate.
Let us address a few points where we disagree.

1)  **Application Rate**

> We see in the market place two distinct applications.

a.  as a defoliant/desiccant on a variety of crops,

b.  as weed control in non-agricultural areas.

> Our own sales of sodium chlorate outside the traditional market of
> pulp bleaching are only for the defoliant application. We have not
> sold any sodium chlorate for several years to the weed control
> application. Our assessment is that sodium chlorate has been replaced
> by other products. We, therefore, intend not to maintain registration
> for sodium chlorate for this application.
>
> In the defoliant/desiccant market it seems that the common practice is
> a one time application of sodium chlorate without a repeat treatment
> within 30 days as assumed in your assessment. However, we have found
> anecdotal reference to a "repeat" application within a few days after
> the initial dose. We are investigating whether this is still
> practical. Based on our current practical knowledge, we have not seen
> application rates of more than 12 pounds sodium chlorate per acre.

2)  **Environmental Fate**

> Based on work performed in Europe and published in "GB Rikken, AGM and
> CG van Ginkel (1996); Transformation of (per) Chlorate into Chloride
> by a Newly Isolated Bacterium; Reduction And Dismutation, Applied
> Microbiology and Biotechnology, 45 Page 420-426," sodium chlorate is
> reduced to sodium chloride very effectively in the environment. Sodium
> chlorite will be intermittently formed, but it does not accumulate as
> the further breakdown of chlorite is much faster than the time
> limiting step of the chlorate reduction. Therefore, we would not
> consider that sodium chlorite is a viable product of the environmental
> reduction of sodium chlorate.

Based on the above and the comments throughout your document, we
recognize short comings in our existing product labels which we are
committed to amend.

Sincerely,

Michael S. Wenk

Manager of Regulatory Affairs

    patients with diabetic foot infections?

4.  What are the considerations for clinical trials for ruling out
    osteomyelitis in patients in trials of diabetic foot infections?
    Please discuss how to determine drug efficacy for the diabetic foot
    infection in the setting of osteomyelitis and whether such patients
    should be considered clinical cures or failures.

5.  How does one define clinical success or failure patients in a
    clinical trial of diabetic foot infections?
**TITLE**: Molecular and Clinical Mechanisms in Bloom's Syndrome and
Related Disorders

**PURPOSE:** This is a two- day workshop whose purpose is to gather
leading scientists and clinical investigators in the active area of
research on the RecQ helicases and disorder associated with these
helicases, with a particular focus on the Bloom's syndrome (BS). We will
explore the molecular mechanisms that the RecQ helicases participate and
that are defective in Bloom's syndrome, Werner syndrome, and
Rothmund-Thomson syndrome. The activities of RecQs in DNA replication,
recombination, and repair will be discussed. The goal is to develop new
multidisciplinary collaborations, interactions and relationships that
will lead participants to a greater understanding of the
pathophysiological mechanisms involved in these disorders and to
conceive new therapeutic strategies for their treatment. Scheduled are a
total of 25 20-minute lecture-style presentations with 5-minute
discussions following each lecture. There are four 30-minutes breaks
over the two days designed to foster individual discussions, a two-hour
poster session, and five oral presentations from unsolicited submitted
abstracts. There will be two "working" lunches including half-hour
presentations.

**LOCATION:** University of Chicago Gleacher Center, Chicago, Illinois

**JUSTIFICATION:** This is a two-day workshop cosponsored by the
National Institute on Aging (NIA), the National Cancer Institute (NCI),
and the Bloom's Syndrome Foundation. The portion of the funding that the
Office of Rare Diseases will cover includes (a) the conference space
rental arrangements, (b) two lunches and four coffee breaks. This
meeting brings together national and international experts in a variety
of closely related fields. The conference facilities of the Gleacher
Center at the University of Chicago were selected due to its unique
arrangement of modern conferencing services, banquet facilities for our
working lunches, convenient lounge for the poster session and coffee
breaks, and the availability of classroom immediately adjacent to the
lecture hall that will be used for the development of a Bloom's syndrome
support group. Comparisons of 3 facilities were obtained and the
Gleacher Center is the only facility that was able to meet the
requirements at the lowest cost (see attached estimate). The comparisons
will be kept on file as required by the guidelines in FTR 301-74.19

There are 10 federal participants in the workshop. Because the workshop
is in Chicago, all are eligible for per diem. The cost for federal
participants is \$202.35 per day, which includes meals, breaks and
meeting rooms etc. The cost for meals and breaks cannot be separated
from the total cost per person and charged to individuals directly. For
this reason the meals will be paid via a purchase order as part of the
conference cost per person. Travel authorizations will be prepared and
approved, however meals will not be included on the authorizations.

**ABERNATHY PROMOTES BRILL, APPOINTS GROVES TO HER STAFF**

Washington, DC \-- FCC Commissioner Kathleen Q. Abernathy announced
today that she has promoted her Legal Advisor, Matthew Brill, to the
position of Senior Legal Advisor. Abernathy said, "Matt has done a
terrific job over the last year and a half as my wireline advisor, and I
am pleased to assign him additional responsibilities as Senior Advisor.
He has been a tremendous asset since I came to the Commission and I
fully expect the same in the future." Brill will also continue to handle
wireline and enforcement issues. He can be reached at 202-418-2532.

Commissioner Abernathy also announced the addition of a new advisor to
her staff. Carolyn Groves, a partner at the law firm Wilkinson Barker
Knauer, joins the office as Senior Counsel for wireless and
international issues, starting December 9. "Carolyn is a talented lawyer
and has a great deal of expertise on wireless policy issues," Abernathy
stated. Groves has been at Wilkinson since 1992. Prior to joining the
firm she clerked at the FCC and on the House Subcommittee on
Telecommunications and Finance. Groves graduated cum laude from the
University of Scranton and received her J.D. from Catholic University,
where she was a member of the Communications Law Institute and an
Associate Editor of the Catholic University Law Review.

Commissioner Abernathy also saluted John Branscome, an attorney detailed
from the Commercial Wireless Division of the Wireless Telecommunications
Bureau, who has advised the Commissioner on wireless and international
issues on an interim basis. "John has made outstanding contributions to
my office and I am delighted to have his assistance a while longer,"
Abernathy said. Branscome will return to the Wireless Bureau in
December.

Dear Yoaz,

I am glad to provide this testimonial of our operational experience with
IGDG.

JPL operates and maintains the NASA Global GPS Network (GGN). The GGN,
currently numbering \~60 sites, is by far the largest global network of
precise GPS reference stations. Traditionally, we have collected GPS
data from each site in batch mode (i.e., files), with latencies that
vary from hourly to daily. In order to support NASA's Earth science
missions with operational requirements for short data latency, such as
atmospheric occultation missions providing data for weather forecasting
(e.g. Champ and COSMIC), many sites within the GGN are being upgraded to
provide GPS data in real time. The IGDG (Internet-based Global
Differential GPS) software provided us critical technologies needed to
facilitate real-time GPS data streaming from these upgraded GGN sites.
These technologies include remote data editing and data compression, UDP
protocols for efficiently and reliably streaming data from dozens of
sites to the central processing facility, encryption to provide data
security, robust and redundant architecture to ensure safety against
probable points of failure, and system-wide quality assurance and
integrity monitoring technologies. Most significantly, IGDG's innovative
use of the public internet helped to make the data collection from the
upgraded GGN sites affordable, as the various telephony-based systems
continue to prove prohibitively expensive for this type of application.
IGDG provides support for all of the receiver types currently in use in
the GGN.

JPL also serves as an IGS data center. In this capacity JPL is
responsible for the free and rapid dissemination of GPS data files (in
RINEX format) from the GGN to the IGS community. IGDG is also being used
to facilitate this function by converting the high rate (1 Hz) raw GPS
data collected at the remote sites to 30s RINEX files. IGDG's products,
thus, reach a very broad spectrum of domestic and international users,
some of them with very demanding scientific and engineering
applications. It is essential therefore, that IGDG be totally reliable
and maintain the highest possible quality standards.

IGDG has several components. Some reside on computers at the remote
sites, and some reside here at the JPL data center. IGDG has been in
continuous operational use in the GGN since January 2000. I am extremely
pleased with the reliable performance of IGDG in service of the GGN and
the JPL IGS data center.

**USAID-Funded Websites Launched for Punjab and**

**NWFP Assemblies**

** **

***Lahore, August 22, 2008 ---*** USAID's Director of the Office of
Democracy and Governance, Michael Hryshchyshyn, U.S. Consulate Lahore
Principal Officer Bryan Hunt and leaders of the Punjab Assembly
participated in the formal launch of the update website for the
Provincial Assembly of the Punjab in Lahore today.

"In recent years, the NWFP and Punjab Assemblies have been at the
forefront of increasing public access to legislators and the work they
do on behalf of their constituents," said Michael Hryshchyshyn, Director
of the Office of Democracy and Governance for USAID/Pakistan. "In
keeping with that progress, the launch of these websites will provide a
window to the activities of the Assemblies, enabling the people of NWFP
and the Punjab to better understand the challenges and responsibilities
of their provincial parliamentarians".

The websites, *www.panwfp.gov.pk* (NWFP) and *www.pap.gov.pk* (Punjab)
provide a full display of information in English and Urdu on their
Assemblies, including history, members, bills, acts, Assembly
proceedings, and resolutions. They also highlight the functions of the
Standing Committees and their activities through reports, news releases
and clippings, and photographs. Additionally, there are e-mail portals
allowing citizens to directly query the Assembly, encouraging more
public input into its deliberations. The websites also offer virtual
tours of the Assembly buildings.

 "We believe that these websites will help increase public understanding
of and interest in the political process, promoting transparent and
participatory governance and fostering democracy in Pakistan," Mr.
Hryshchyshyn added.

The construction of these websites is part of USAID'S \$9.3 million
Pakistan Legislative Strengthening Project (PLSP) that is partnering
with Pakistan's national and provincial legislatures to strengthen
parliamentary institutions and processes. 

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

WSMH Licensee, LLC

c/o Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP

ATTN: Kathryn R. Schmeltzer, Esq.

2300 N Street, N.W.

Re: WSMH Licensee, LLC

WSMH(TV), Flint, MI

Facility ID No. 21737

File No. BRCT-20050601AJP

Dear Licensee:

This letter refers to your license renewal application for station
WSMH(TV), Flint, MI.

In the Children's Television Act of 1990, Pub. L. No. 101-437, 104 Stat.
996-1000, *codified at* 47 U.S.C. Sections 303a, 303b and 394, Congress
directed the Commission to adopt rules, *inter alia,* limiting the
number of minutes of commercial matter that television stations may air
during children's programming, and to consider in its review of
television license renewals the extent to which the licensee has
complied with such commercial limits. Pursuant to this statutory
mandate, the Commission adopted Section 73.670 of the Rules, 47 C.F.R. §
73.670, which limits the amount of commercial matter which may be aired
during children's programming to 10.5 minutes per hour on weekends and
12 minutes per hour on weekdays. *Children's Television Programming*, 6
FCC Rcd 2111, 2118, *recon. granted in part,* 6 FCC Rcd 5093, 5098
(1991). The commercial limitations became effective on January 1, 1992.
*Children's Television Programming,* 6 FCC Rcd 5529, 5530 (1991).

On June 1, 2005, you filed the above-referenced license renewal
application for station WSMH(TV). In response to Section IV, Question 5
of that application, you certify that, during the previous license term,
station WSMH(TV) failed to comply with the limitations on commercial
matter in children's programming specified in Section 73.670 of the
Commission's Rules. In Exhibit 19 to the renewal application, you state
that station WSMH(TV) exceeded the children's television commercial
limits on six occasions between November 28, 1998, and March 17, 2005.
Of those six overages, one was 10 seconds in duration, one was 26
seconds in duration, two were 30 seconds in duration, one was 35 seconds
in duration, and one was 45 seconds in duration. You attribute the
overages to human errors and technical difficulties with automation and
cueing equipment. You also describe corrective measures taken to prevent
future violations.

It appears from the information before us that the overages in question
were *de minimis* violations of the children's television commercial
limits. Such violations of Section 73.670 of the Commission's Rules do
not warrant further consideration in connection with WSMH(TV)'s renewal
application.

Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that, a copy of this Letter shall be sent by
First Class and Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested to the licensee
at the address listed above, and to Kathryn R. Schmeltzer, Esquire,
Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman LLP, 2300 N Street, N.W., Washington,
D.C. 20037-1128.

**Ashing/Loss on Ignition Protocol**

**Sample Preparation:**

-   Use an air hose to blow out any dirt or leftover ash in crucibles.

-   Place 32 or more crucibles into the muffle furnace. Turn temperature
    to 550°C.

-   Bake out clean crucibles in the muffle furnace for several hours.

-   Turn the oven temperature to just below 200°C and slowly crack the
    door to allow crucibles to cool. Keep crucibles in the oven for
    another 30-45 minutes (If the furnace is over 200°C crucibles will
    melt the plastic in the dessicator).

-   Let crucibles cool in desiccators (\~45 minutes). If you're using a
    plastic desiccator, it must be attached to a vacuum line.

-   Remove hose from desiccator and take it over to weigh station. Put
    on gloves (oils on hands may change tare weight). Weigh the crucible
    (crucible mass) and then weigh out about 0.2 g of AD samples into
    crucibles (crucible + airdry mass).

-   Place crucibles in oven (60 °C) for one hour.

-   Let cool in desiccator for 25 minutes.

-   Weigh crucibles and record weight on datasheet (crucible + ovendry
    mass). Place sample back in desiccator while weighing out the other
    samples.

-   Leave crucibles in desiccator until proceeding with ashing steps
    below.

**Ashing:**

-   Preheat muffle furnace to 550°C.

-   Place crucibles in furnace for 5 hours.

-   Turn the oven temperature to just below 200°C and crack the doors
    (opening doors too fast will cause a vacuum that may disturb the
    samples). After fifteen minutes, open oven doors completely for
    another 30 minutes (Do not put in desiccator until crucibles are
    less than 200°C).

-   Let cool in desiccator (\~1 hour).

-   Weigh crucibles and record weight on datasheet (crucible + ash
    mass).

-   Transfer ashed samples to labeled scintillation vial if necessary.

-   Keep crucibles enclosed (i.e., in a desiccator) to prevent organic
    contamination.
**DEMOCRATIC BUDGET for 2006**

Unlike the GOP budget, the Democratic budget achieves balance within
seven years -- whereas the GOP budget [never]{.underline} achieves
balance. Furthermore, the Democratic budget has balanced priorities --
balancing fiscal responsibility with the responsibility to maintain
services in areas such as education, veterans' health care and Medicaid.

The key features of the Democratic budget are:

-   **Fiscally Responsible.** The Democratic budget achieves balance
    within seven years, in 2012. It has a smaller deficit than the
    Republican budget every year and accumulates less debt.

-   **Balanced Priorities.** The Democratic budget balances fiscal
    responsibility with the responsibility to maintain government
    services in vital areas such as education, veterans' health care,
    Medicaid, strengthening America's communities, and environmental
    protection.

-   **Budget Enforcement to Protect Social Security.** The Democratic
    budget includes budget enforcement procedures to block tax or
    spending legislation that would borrow additional amounts from the
    Social Security Trust Fund surplus.

-   **Protects Medicaid.** The Democratic budget rejects the up to \$20
    billion in Medicaid cuts included in the Republican budget.

-   **Does More for Veterans.** The Democratic budget provides \$1.6
    billion more than the Republican budget for veterans' health care in
    2006 and \$17 billion more over five years.

-   **Helps Students.** The Democratic budget provides \$4.5 billion
    more than the Republican budget for education in 2006 and \$41
    billion more over five years.

-   **Supports America's Communities and Families.** The Democratic
    budget provides \$2 billion more than the Republican budget for
    community and regional development in 2006 and \$9 billion more over
    five years.
