### *Henry Lee to St. George Tucker in Congress, Oct. 20^th^, 1786*

Dear sir Oct. 20h. N. York \[17\]86

I have the pleasure of your ler. from Baltimore on your return from
Annapolis.\
Your polite communication of my instrumentality to your & your ladys
happiness by introducing you to my old friend Smallwood was highly
satisfactory.

Your narrative of the proceedings of the convention at Annapolis was
followed in a few days by a letter from the chairman to the president of
Congress.(1) With difficulty the friend\[s\] to the system adopted by
the convention induced Congress to commit your report, altho all were
truely sensible of the respect manifested by the convention to this
body, and all zealous to accomplish the objects proposed by the authors
of the commercial convention. Indeed their conviction of the inadequacy
of the present Federal government render them particularly zealous to
amend & strengthen it. But different opinions prevail as to the mode;
some think with the Annapolis meeting, others consider Congress not only
the constitutional but the most eligible body to originate & propose
necessary amendments to the confederation, and others prefer state
conventions for the express purpose, and a congress of deputys appointed
by these conventions with plenipotentiary powers.

For my own part I am only solicitous to see an accomplishment of the
salutary work and very regardless of the particular mode, so that the
end is answered effectually & quickly.\
Since you left us(2) a political cloud has risen in the east & portends
much calamity to our infant empire. Present appearances justify
apprehensions of an appeal to the ultima ratio requm in Massachusetts,
or submission to the mob. The Insurgents are very numerous, inhabitants
of a rugged country well united, and firmly decided in their
objects\-\--;Abolition of debt & division of lands are the cardinal
points in view, these are masqued by some ostensible complaints, the
redress of which are attainable with ease & certainty in a
constitutional manner, but having very different intentions they prefer
illegal measures.\
Back of the Malcontents lyes Vermont\-\--;these people are in commercial
connexion with Canada, & are leagued with the insurgents. Thus you see
there is a plain road to British Magazines & munitions of war, & I
beleive no American can entertain any doubt of the conduct which the
British King would pursue, was a civil war to take place among us.\
Mrs. Lee & Mr A Lee unite with me in most affectionate respects to my
cousin & best wishes for Your health & happiness.

Adieu,

H. Lee Junr.\

**BLACKBURN HAILS END OF 1898 SPANISH AMERICAN WAR LONG DISTANCE
TELEPHONE TAX**

WASHINGTON, D.C. \-- \"Calling repeal of this tax long overdue is a
massive understatement,\" Representative Marsha Blackburn (TN-7th
District) said today in reaction to the repeal of the federal excise tax
on long distance telephone service. Blackburn cosponsored H.R. 1898, the
Telephone Excise Tax Repeal Act of 2005 to remove the excise tax on
communication services. Today the Treasury Department announced that on
July 31, 2006, consumers would no longer be charged for the long
distance portion of the tax and will have three years worth of tax
payments returned when they file their 2006 federal taxes.

\"This should give heart to everyone who believes the nearest thing to
eternal life is a tax,\" Blackburn said. \"We\'ll continue working to
make our tax code flatter, fairer, and simpler. We have an antiquated
tax code that creates a massive compliance burden for Americans and that
has to be changed. Over the past few years we\'ve been able to secure a
federal sales tax deduction for our state, a tax reform for our
songwriters, rate reductions for virtually all taxpayers, and this is
just another positive development. We hope to build on this progress by
repealing the tax on local service as well.\"

The long distance telephone tax was enacted in 1898 to fund the Spanish
American War.

FCC Imposes \$680,000 Forfeiture Against Vista Services Corporation for
Slamming

Washington, D.C. - Today the Federal Communications Commission
(Commission) released an order imposing a \$680,000 forfeiture on Vista
Services Corporation (Vista) for violation of the Commission's rules
against slamming. Slamming is the illegal practice of switching
consumers' preferred long distance or other telephone carriers without
their consent.

The Commission received hundreds of written consumer complaints against
Vista during an eleven-month period. Several complaints alleged that
Vista, as part of its slamming scheme, misrepresented or implied to the
consumers: 1) that Vista was affiliated with the consumers' existing
local or long distance carriers; and 2) Vista's service was a
consolidation plan that would combine the consumers' local and long
distance charges on one bill for the consumers' convenience.

Vista denied that it had substituted itself for the long distance
carriers preferred by the 18 consumers at issue without their
authorization. Vista argued that: 1) the Commission had failed to prove
that the consumers had not authorized Vista to be their long distance
carrier; 2) Vista's telemarketers were independent contractors who had
exceeded their authority; 3) Vista was not responsible for the alleged
violations emanating from the customer list Vista bought from another
carrier; and 4) various circumstances required mitigation of the
forfeiture amount.

In its forfeiture order, the Commission rejected most of these defenses,
finding that Vista had violated the statute and the Commission's
anti-slamming rules for fourteen of the eighteen consumer complaints at
issue. With respect to the remaining four consumer complaints, the
Commission found that Vista had submitted adequate proof of
authorization in response to the Commission's August 1999 Notice of
Apparent Liability. The Commission ultimately found Vista liable for
forfeiture in the amount of \$680,000.

(over)

Vista is a privately held company headquartered in Westlake, Ohio. The
consumers slammed by Vista described in this forfeiture action reside in
Colorado, Virginia, Tennessee, Michigan, Kansas, Wisconsin and New York,
among other states.

1.17 to consider the results of ITU-R studies on compatibility between
the fixed-satellite service and other services around 1.4 GHz, in
accordance with Resolution **745** **(WRC‑03)**

Introduction

Agenda item 1.17 addresses protection of existing services in all
Regions from non-geostationary-satellite networks in the fixed-satellite
service using the frequency bands around 1.4 GHz on a secondary basis,
in accordance with Resolution 745 (WRC-03).

Under this agenda item, compatibility studies between the
fixed-satellite service (FSS) for feeder links to non-geostationary
mobile-satellite service (MSS) satellites and other services around
1.4 GHz had been conducted in ITU-R.

APT members note that, based on ITU-R studies, sharing between FSS
feeder link and other services is not feasible, because large separation
distance, geographical separation, or additional constrains are
required.

Therefore, APT members support Method 1 of the CPM Report, that is,
suppression of the secondary FSS allocation for MSS feeder links in the
frequency bands 1 390-1 392 MHz (Earth-to-space) and 1 430-1 432 MHz
(space-to-Earth).

**Reasons:** No. 5.339A prescribes only additional allocation of the
secondary FSS allocation for MSS feeder links in the frequency bands and
sharing study of this agenda item resulted that sharing between FSS and
other services is not feasible in this band. Therefore, if Method 1,
which APT members support and is the only method which is proposed as a
result of the study of this agenda item, is adopted, RR No. 5.339A is
not necessary any more.

On August 2, 1991 the Acting Assistant Secretary, Office of
Postsecondary Education and I signed a new Memorandum of Understanding
to improve financial services for postsecondary students who have
disabilities. In this memorandum, a copy of which is attached, RSA
agreed to issue a revised prototype State Memorandum of Understanding on
the coordination of financial aid to State rehabilitation agencies and
the Office of Student Financial Assistance (OSFA) agreed to issue it to
the State Associations of Student Financial Administrators.

The revised protocol, like the previous one, is a statement of suggested
procedures for improving financial assistance for students with
handicaps. The State Vocational Rehabilitation Agencies and State
Associations of Student Financial Aid Administrators should review their
current agreements to determine if their procedure comply with the
statutory aid program requirements and should revise agreements if
necessary.

This information was distributed by OSFA in January as a supplement to
the 1991-1992 Federal Student Financial Aid Handbook to each of State
Associations of Student Financial Administrators are the Student
Financial Assistance regional offices. A copy of this letter is
attached.

**NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION**

Case Number: EB-07-MA-015

Document Number: W20073260008

The Miami Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast radio
station on 88.7 MHz was allegedly operating in Pompano Beach, FL. On May
22, 2007, agents from this office confirmed by direction finding
techniques that radio signals on frequency 88.7 MHz were emanating from
your residence in Pompano Beach, FL. The Commission's records show that
no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station on 88.7 MHz
at this location in Pompano Beach, FL.

Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301.
The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode of operation
that complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§  15.1 *et seq*. The field strength of
the signal on frequency 88.7 MHz was measured at 88,561 µV/m at 193
meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted level of 250 microvolts per
meter (µV/m) at 3 meters for non-licensed devices. Thus, this station is
operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301.

You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of
the Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator to severe
penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines,
*in rem* arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and
criminal sanctions including imprisonment. (*see* 47 U.S.C. §§ 401, 501,
503 and 510).

**UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED
IMMEDIATELY**.

You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. Your
response should be sent to the address in the letterhead and reference
the listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission's staff
will use all relevant material information before it to determine what,
if any, enforcement action is required to ensure your compliance with
FCC Rules. This will include any information that you disclose in your
reply.

You may contact this office if you have any questions.

26](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/November_26),
[1829](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1829)) is perhaps most noted for his
long career on the [U.S. Supreme
Court](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Court_of_the_United_States)
as one of the Justices that made up the Marshall Court. The nephew of
[George Washington](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Washington), he
authored the famous opinion of [Corfield v.
Coryell](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corfield_v._Coryell), 6 Fed. Cas.
546 (C.C.E.D. Penn. 1823), while riding circuit as an Associate Justice.
In Corfield, Washington listed several rights traditionally viewed to be
\"fundamental.\" This list of fundamental rights has profoundly
influenced later Consitutional jurisprudence, particularly with respect
to the [Privileges and Immunities
Clause](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privileges_and_Immunities_Clause).

Washington was nominated for the court after another
[Federalist](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Federalist_Party),

Erythritol is a non-cariogenic, non-caloric (0.3 kcal/g) sweetener and
safe for diabetics. The four-carbon sugar alcohol has about 70-80% of
the sweetness of sucrose and is found in fruits, mushrooms and some
fermented foods.

The objective of this research includes identification and analysis of
the expression patterns of proteins between *Candida magnoliae* wild and
its mutant strain.

Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis was performed for quantitative and
qualitative analysis of total intracellular proteins. Most of the
proteins were distributed in the range of pI 4-7 and MW 29-97 kD.

Twenty four proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF and ten proteins
overexpressed were analyzed by scanning, digital image analysis tools
and ESI-MS/MS.

NCBI blast database and diploid nblast were used to search the proteins
which have sequence homology with those of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae*
and *Candida albicans.*

**[Rock Creek Fire TDGS #1 (Operational Level)]{.underline}**

NOTE: Deliver TDGS information prior to departing Stand 1. Conduct the
TDGS at Stand 2.

You are the Crew Boss for a 20 person handcrew. It is 1430 on July
28^th^ . It has been an average fire season and fuel conditions are dry.
Over the past several days the temperature has exceeded 100 degrees with
scattered thunderstorm activity. Today the temperature is over 100
degrees with winds out of the west and scattered developing cumulus
clouds. You have been dispatched to a lightning ignited fire east of
Orovada near Rock Creek.

As you drive on the two-track road into Rock Creek what is your
assessment of the situation?

What are your instructions to your crew?

What questions do you have when you link up with your assigned fireline
supervisor?

**[Rock Creek Fire TDGS #2 (Tactical Level)]{.underline}**

NOTE: Deliver TDGS information prior to departing Stand 2. Conduct the
TDGS at Stand 3.

You are a Squad Boss assigned to anchor the bottom of the fire. You have
been walking into the fire for about 45 minutes and have just arrived at
the saddle one drainage to the west of the fire. Four or five of your 10
squad members are a short distance behind working their way up the hill.
The winds have been at your back from the west during the hike up. You
observe a maturing thunderstorm directly over the fire. The fire is
approximately ¼ mile up the hill from you and is about 25-35 acres.
Currently, the fire has a moderate rate of spread uphill and is very
slowly backing downhill. You see several unknown individuals working on
the fire edge.

What is your next course of action?

What are your instructions to your squad?

**[Rock Creek Fire TDGS #3 (Crisis Reaction)]{.underline}**

NOTE: Deliver TDGS information prior to departing Stand 3. Conduct the
TDGS at Stand 4.

You are a Squad Boss approaching the bottom of the fire. The wind has
shifted out of the east due to a severe downdraft from a thunderstorm
directly over the fire. The fire is rapidly gaining and heavy smoke is
making it difficult to see. You have decided to retreat and have given
the order to run down the drainage, going out to the west. You see one
of your squad members trip and severely injure his ankle. The fire
behavior has increased dramatically, and the fire is rapidly gaining on
you. There is no time for delays as your chances of out running the fire
are diminishing.

What is your next course of action?

**[Rock Creek Fire TDGS #4 (Discussion)]{.underline}**

NOTE: Handout and conduct the TDGS at Stand 4.

You are you and it is now.

Describe one lesson learned from this event you will share with those
you work with?

DHS Docket No. USCIS-2007-0060

Dear USCIS director,\
\
As a genuine candidate for H1B visa FY2009, I would like to bring to
your attention some of the loopholes in the existing H1B visa system
which can be exploited to take unfair advantage.\
\
I highly appreciate the new interim rule concerning H1B applications for
FY 2009 prohibiting employers from filing duplicate or multiple
applications on behalf of a single beneficiary.\
\
However the new rule does not prohibit a single beneficiary from filing
multiple H1B petition from different employers, gaining unethical
advantage over the genuine candidates filing single petition in random
lottery.\
\
There are many people who are taking advantage of this loophole. There
are a lot of employers offering H1B sponsorship without even conducting
interview of the candidate. These employer ask the candidate to pay
\$3000-\$3500 for the H1B VISA. A candidate who fears getting selected
in the lottery applies multiple H1B with multiple employer just to gain
advantage in the lottery selection process.\
\
Also a lot of employers have teamed up together to file multiple H1B for
individual candidates from all(officially unrelated) companies there by
increasing the chance of the individual in the lottery.\
\
I believe USCIS would be fair to all the applicants and would take
necessary action to prohibit exploitation of the this loophole by
unethical candidates.\
\
Thank you very much for your time.\
\
Appreciate it a lot.\
\
Regards,\
A genuine H1B FY2009 candidate

### Riparian Restoration Boon to People and Wildlife 

San Joaquin River National Wildlife Refuge in California will have the
largest riparian woodland in the San Joaquin Valley after 500,000 woody
shrubs are planted on 2,200 acres over the next four years.
Approximately 1,500 acres have been completed or are in progress;
another 700 acres will be completed within the next five years.

A primary goal of the project was recovery of the endangered riparian
brush rabbit prompted the project. The last known wild population
survived at a state park along the Stanislaus River in San Joaquin
County; a second remnant population was found further north in a flood
overflow area near Stockton.

Beneficiaries of the restoration include not only rabbits, but also
birds and the endangered San Joaquin woodrat. Moreover, plantings in the
riparian areas have improved water quality by removing contaminants and
reducing riverbank erosion.

Neotropical songbirds and migrants use the San Joaquin Valley like a
freeway. A pair of least Bell's vireos nested in the restoration area
\-- the first known nesting of this once common bird species in the San
Joaquin Valley in more than 50 years.

The riparian shrubs' root systems strengthen the integrity of the
levees. A healthy riparian area levels out the high peaks of flooding
and reduces the extreme lows during drought.

Amino acids alone or their products of the reactions with sugars (the
Maillard products) can be preserved as silicates by two mechanisms. In
the first mechanism, these bio-materials cause polymerization of silicic
acid and become entombed in the silicic acid polymer (silica gel). In
this mechanism we would observe only the Si-O-Si bonds in the silica
gel. By the second mechanism, the bio-molecules make chemical bonds with
the silicic acid, to create organic silicates, which would have the
Si-O-C bonds. We are investigating these two mechanisms by the IR
spectroscopy. We have found that upon contact between the meteoritic or
other amino acids or their Maillard products with ribose, sodium
silicate solution is rapidly transformed into the silica gel. We have
recorded the IR spectra of these gels in KBr and Nujol. We are
concentrating on the region between 1000-1200 cm^-1^, in which the bands
for Si-O-Si and Si-O-C are found. These bands overlap substantially. We
are currently attempting to resolve them by the deuteration of the
silica gels that were isolated from the reactions. Deuteration was
achieved by heating the gels with D~2~O at 65^o^C, or by dissolving the
biomolecules in D~2~O prior to adding them to the sodium silicate
solution. Upon deuteration large shifts of the bands in the region of
interest towards lower frequencies are observed. Detailed analysis of
the spectra and the potential of this IR method for studying
organo-silicate biosignatures will be presented. (This work is sponsored
in part by the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium).
