## FY 07 Per Diem Highlights

How does GSA establish per diem rates for the continental United States
(CONUS)?

GSA establishes the CONUS per diem rates providing the maximum
reimbursement allowances up to which federal employees are reimbursed by
their agencies for expenses incurred while on official travel. The CONUS
per diem rate for an area is actually three allowances in one-the
lodging allowance, the meals allowance and the incidental expense
allowance. Most of the CONUS (about 3,000 counties) are covered by the
standard CONUS lodging per diem rate which is currently \$60. In Fiscal
Year (FY) 07, there are about 400 Non-Standard Areas (NSA) that have per
diem rates higher than the standard CONUS.

Since FY 05, NSA rates have been based on the Average Daily Rate (ADR).
This data is obtained through a GSA contract with a leading provider of
lodging industry economic data.  The ADR is a widely accepted
lodging-industry measure based upon a property\'s room rental revenue
divided by the number of rooms rented as reported by the hotel property
to the contractor. This calculation provides us with the average rate
that rooms rent in a given area.

For rate setting, GSA is required by law to use only properties that are
certified as being \"fire safe\" and in compliance with the Hotel &
Motel Fire Safety Act of 1990. This requires smoke detectors and
automatic sprinkler systems in each guest room.

As in FY 06, we still use:

-   Only \"fire safe\" properties;

-   Properties that fall within the mid-price range.  This range
    includes all properties from the lowest to the highest of the
    mid-price, upper and upper-upscale properties in an area;

-   Data from the prior 12 month period.  For FY 07, this is from April
    2005 through March 2006;

-   Business travel week data (Monday through Thursday); and

-   Ceilings and floors.

In FY 07, we have refined our methodology.   We now:

-   Select mid-price properties from zip codes where the majority of
    federal travelers stay; and

-   Redefined 20 NSAs and set rates for 6 new areas.  These areas have
    been reevaluated for M&IE rates.

Statement to SC18 on Structured Naming

WG8 thanks WG1 for SC18 N2374 and for accepting its suggestions
regarding the need for structured naming support in SC18. WG8 would like
to reiterate the need for structured naming support, but at the same
time would like to emphasize that development of a suitable standard for
all of SC18 should not affect the progression of existing SC18 work.

In particular, the progression of ISO/DIS 9834 is likely to be
time-consuming in view of the reaction it has received from several SCs.
The attachments to N2374 identify several areas in which ISO/DIS 9834
fails to meet the needs of text description and processing language
standards, to which WG8 would now like to add the following:

ISO/DIS 9834 does not provide for a character string form of structured
name that is the equivalent of the ASN.1 and SGML forms. The character
string form is needed, for example, to serve as a parameter value in
text-based processing languages.

WG8 is confident that in the interim its projects can meet their needs
for structured naming by aligning their name construction rules with
those of ISO 8824 and ISO/DIS 9834. It looks forward to working with the
other SC18 Working Groups on this matter.
NCLB says that students will be technology literate by the time they
leave 8th grade. What does this really mean? I believe that each state
and school district coming up with their own literacy requirements will
not be beneficial. There is too much open to interpretation. Even ISTE
standards are too broad and open to interpretation. Standards in other
subjects are described in more detail. Isn\'t it time we define in
clearer terms what technology literacy really involves? What happens
when the technology changes? Does the term technology literate change,
too?

**STATEMENT OF WORK**

Dr. Rachel Myerowitz will carry out collaborative studies with Dr. Paul
Plotz, Chief of the Connective Tissue Diseases Section of the Arthritis
and Rheumatism Branch (ARB) of the National Institute of Arthritis and
Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) of the National Institutes of
Health (NIH), DHHS. Dr. Myerowitz is a Professor of Biology at St.
Mary's College and will work during her summer leave in 2008.

Dr. Myerowitz will bring her expertise in lysosomal biology and the
lysosomal storage diseases, expecially Tay-Sachs Disease, to work on the
problem of treating the muscle glycogen storage disease, Pompe Disease.
She will particularly work on strategies to deliver recombinant acid
-glucosidase to the sites of glycogen storage in muscle by studying the
reasons for the abnormal trafficking of intracellular vesides in that
disease. During her sabbatical semester here in Fall 2006, Dr. Myerowitz
developed a very useful Pompe Disease muscle cell line.

NIAMS will pay her \$500 per day from June 2, 2008 to August 8, 2008 for
her service.

Bibb Series

\<@32\>The Bibb series consists of very deep, poorly drained soils that
formed in stratified loamy and sandy alluvium. These soils are in
concave positions on low parts of narrow flood plains. They are subject
to flooding for brief periods several times each year. Slopes are 0 to 1
percent. These soils are coarse-loamy, siliceous, active, acid, thermic
Typic Fluvaquents.

\<@32\>Bibb soils are geographically associated with Iuka, Kinston, and
Ochlockonee soils. The moderately well drained Iuka soils and the well
drained Ochlockonee soils are in the slightly higher, more convex
positions. Kinston soils are in positions similar to those of the Bibb
soils and are fine-loamy.

\<@32\>Typical pedon of Bibb fine sandy loam, in an area of Bibb-Iuka
complex, 0 to 1 percent slopes, frequently flooded; about 0.25 mile
southeast of West Butler; 1,800 feet north and 50 feet west of the
southeast corner of sec. 25, T. 13 N., R. 4 W.

\<@23\>A---0 to 3 inches; dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) fine sandy loam;
weak fine granular structure; very friable; common fine and medium
roots; very strongly acid; clear smooth boundary.

\<@33\>Cg1---3 to 9 inches; gray (10YR 5/1) sandy loam; massive; very
friable; common medium roots; common fine distinct dark yellowish brown
(10YR 4/4) and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6) masses of iron accumulation;
very strongly acid; gradual wavy boundary.

\<@33\>Cg2---9 to 15 inches; gray (10YR 6/1) sandy loam; massive; very
friable; common medium roots; common thin strata of loamy sand; many
fine distinct strong brown (7.5YR 5/6) and many medium distinct
yellowish brown (10YR 5/4) masses of iron accumulation; few fine
prominent reddish brown (5YR 5/4) masses of iron accumulation lining
root channels; very strongly acid; gradual wavy boundary.

\<@33\>Cg3---15 to 45 inches; light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2) sandy loam;
massive; very friable; common medium roots; common thin strata of loamy
sand; common coarse prominent brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) irregularly
shaped masses of iron accumulation; very strongly acid; gradual wavy
boundary.

\<@33\>Cg4---45 to 60 inches; light brownish gray (2.5Y 6/2) loamy sand;
massive; very friable; few medium roots; common thin strata of sandy
loam; very strongly acid.

\<@8\>Reaction ranges from extremely acid to strongly acid throughout.

\<@32\>The A horizon has hue of 10YR, value of 3 or 4, and chroma of 2
or 3.

\<@32\>The Cg horizon has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 5 or 6, and
chroma of 1 or 2. It has few or common redoximorphic accumulations in
shades of red and brown. It is dominantly sandy loam, fine sandy loam,
silt loam, or loam throughout but can be sand, loamy sand, and loamy
fine sand in the lower part. Thin strata of coarser and finer textured
material are throughout the profile.
The following questions were submitted to the contracting officer
regarding NASA Ames RFQ 2-38123-MXS: Residual Gas Analyzer. Responses to
the questions were not available until after the posting period ended,
thus the solicitation is re-opened for an additional period.

**[The response date is extended to May 21, 2002.]{.underline}**

Question 1:

Does the gas stream to be measured contain any corrosive materials
(hydrides, halogens, acids, or bases)?

Answer 1:

The process stream will consist of inert gases, halocarbons (parent
gases are ethylene, acetylene, methane, though what they will be
converted to is not known), hydrogen, and/or ammonia.  Due to the
possibility for high molecular weight species, heater jackets would be a
necessity.  Corrosive pumping may or may not be required for the
ammonia.  Pumps should have sufficient compression capabilities to
minimize hydrogen background.

Question 2:

The solicitation does not mention an operating system requirement or the
inclusion of computer to operate the system you are soliciting for
purchase. Do you intend to have the quote answered, \"as complete\", and
with on site installation and training and computer to operate the
system? It was not clear in specification \# 3, that \"computer
interface\" implies a computer, or the interface to the RGA, which is a
different component that communicates to the computer.

Answer2:

We can provide the computer.  Vendor must supply all cards, software,
and cables necessary for hookup.  A computer available as a reasonably
priced option item would be ok.  Installation and training is expected.

Question 3:

The solicitation calls for operating pressures from the .5 mtorr range
to 20 mtorr, and also up to atmospheric pressure (760 Torr). Is this
accurate?

Answer 3:

The solicitation should read 0.5 Torr to 20 Torr, and an atmospheric
pressure inlet.  If these can be integrated into one port, that is
acceptable.

Question 4:

The last item is please elaborate on your request for local service.

Answer 4:

In the past, we have had trouble getting timely and sufficient service
from non-locally based companies when equipment is malfunctioning.  We
wish to avoid any excessive delay or cost for service, when needed.

**§1.603 Disqualification.**

\(a\) The Regional Office Director or the Regional Office Director's
designee may revoke an individual's or an organization's access
privileges to a particular claimant's records because the individual or
organization no longer represents the claimant, and, therefore, the
beneficiary's consent is no longer in effect. The individual or
organization is no longer entitled to access as a matter of law under
the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and 38 U.S.C. 5701 and 7332. Under these
circumstances, the individual or organization is not entitled to any
hearing or to present any evidence in opposition to the revocation.

\(b\) The Regional Office Director or the Regional Office Director's
designee may revoke an individual's or an organization's access
privileges either to an individual claimant's records or to all
claimants' records in the VBA automated claims benefits systems if the
individual or organization:

\(1\) Violates any of the provisions of §§1.600 through 1.603;

\(2\) Accesses or attempts to access data for a purpose other than
representation of an individual veteran;

\(3\) Accesses or attempts to access data other than the data specified
in these regulations;

\(4\) Accesses or attempts to access data on a VA beneficiary who is not
represented either by the individual who obtains access or by the
organization employing the individual who obtains access;

\(5\) Utilizes unapproved computer hardware or software to obtain or
attempt to obtain access to VBA computer systems;

\(6\) Modifies or attempts to modify data in the VBA computer systems.

\(c\) If VBA is considering revoking an individual's access under
§1.603(b), and that individual works for an organization, the Regional
Office of jurisdiction will notify the organization of the pendency of
the action.

\(d\) After an individual's access privileges are revoked, if the
conduct which resulted in revocation was such that it merits reporting
to an appropriate governmental licensing organization such as a State
bar, the VBA Regional Office of jurisdiction will immediately inform the
licensing organization in writing of the fact that the individual's
access privileges were revoked and the reasons why.

\(e\) The VBA Regional Office of jurisdiction may temporarily suspend
access privileges prior to any determination on the merits of the
proposed revocation where the Regional Office Director or the Director's
designee determines that such immediate suspension is necessary in order
to protect the integrity of the system or confidentiality of the data in
the system from a reasonably foreseeable compromise. However, in such
case, the Regional Office shall offer the individual or organization an
opportunity to respond to the charges immediately after the temporary
suspension.

**Supplement *Highlights* references**: 5(3), 83(3).

*Next Section is §1.700*
**§4.19 Age in service-connected claims.**

Age may not be considered as a factor in evaluating service-connected
disability; and unemployability, in service-connected claims, associated
with advancing age or intercurrent disability, may not be used as a
basis for a total disability rating. Age, as such, is a factor only in
evaluations of disability not resulting from service, i.e., for the
purposes of pension.

**§4.20 Analogous ratings.**

When an unlisted condition is encountered it will be permissible to rate
under a closely related disease or injury in which not only the
functions affected, but the anatomical localization and symptomatology
are closely analogous. Conjectural analogies will be avoided, as will
the use of analogous ratings for conditions of doubtful diagnosis, or
for those not fully supported by clinical and laboratory findings. Nor
will ratings assigned to organic diseases and injuries be assigned by
analogy to conditions of functional origin.

**§4.21 Application of rating schedule.**

In view of the number of atypical instances it is not expected,
especially with the more fully described grades of disabilities, that
all cases will show all the findings specified. Findings sufficiently
characteristic to identify the disease and the disability therefrom and
above all, coordination of rating with impairment of function will,
however, be expected in all instances.

THE RESTORATION OF THE MOTTO.

The motto "In God we trust" was first placed upon the bronze 2-cent
piece authorized to be coined by the act of September 22, 1864. Section
5 of the act of March 3, 1865, authorizing the coinage of the 3-cent
piece, provided for the placing of the motto on such coins as would
admit thereof. This provision was enacted under section 18 of the act of
February 12, 1873. The motto was first placed on the gold and silver
coins (with the exception of the dime, which was too small) January 1,
1866.

Section 3517 of the Revised Statutes of the United States adopted by the
act of Congress dated June 22, 1874, did not provide for the placing of
the motto on any of the coins. The motto continued to be placed on the
coins upon which it had previously appeared until the adoption, in 1907,
of the new designs of the double eagle and the eagle, from which it was
omitted, the inscriptions and legends being confined to those authorized
by section 3517 of the Revised Statutes.

May 18, 1908, an act was passed by Congress restoring the motto "In God
we trust" on the coins of the United States, to take effect thirty days
after its passage. The motto appears on all gold and silver coins struck
since July 1, 1908, with the exception of the dime.

AN ACT Providing for the restoration of the motto "In God we trust" on
certain denominations of the gold and silver coins of the United States.

*Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assembled,* That the motto "In God we
trust," heretofore inscribed on certain denominations of the gold and
silver coins of the United States of America, shall hereafter be
inscribed upon all such gold and silver coins of said denominations as
heretofore.

SEC. 2. That this Act shall take effect thirty days after its approval
by the President.

Approved, May 18, 1908.

**Goal Area**: *Improving Teacher's Knowledge:* To create a national
professional development model that supports the appropriate use of
technology in the teaching of mathematics by creating teacher leaders to
act as mentors and trainers.

**Brief Summary**: In order to foster systemic professional development
on the appropriate use of hand-held technology in mathematics, TI has
developed the National TFAS (Technology For All Students) Organization,
as well as Teacher Leader Cadre Training. These teacher leaders, who are
supported and identified by their school districts, are trained to teach
their peers and promote teacher leadership. These professional
development institutes increase the teacher's content knowledge of
mathematics. A balanced approach is emphasized by helping them
understand when technology can be a tool in enhancing mathematics
education and when paper/pencil computation is more appropriate. The
Teacher Leadership Cadre seeks to establish a local group of teacher
leaders who are skilled presenters and will engage in professional
activities to enhance teaching and learning of mathematics. Training for
the Cadre teachers hones the skills in the delivery of professional
development and promotes the candidates' knowledge and skill with
appropriate use of technology in the mathematics classroom. Training
consists of an initial 5 days with 4 days of specialized follow up
training, with the goal of candidates becoming mentors to other
teachers. Candidates from the Teacher Leadership Cadre may then apply to
the National TFAS Organization. TFAS teachers receive additional
educational support from TI, such as sharing of best practices with
other instructors on-line, TFAS Instructor certification, and other
support from mathematics professionals.

**Purpose:** The Teacher Leader Cadre and TFAS models encourage systemic
professional development on a balanced approach to teaching mathematics
with the assistance of technology and on the appropriate use of
technology. Teachers share best practices with other teachers and learn
from one another.

**Accomplishments/Results:** 168 TFAS Instructors from 11 states have
provided instruction to over 5,300 teachers since 2000.

**Plan for next 12 months**: We continue with efforts to scale up this
model and increase the number of teachers and students that will benefit
from such professional development. We are increasing our on-line
coaching efforts, as well as our online course offered to assist with
the follow-up efforts. T3 workshops and conferences are being increased
to reach more educators, as well.

There are two different pixel count size CCDs at the moment, the
difference being the absence or presence of two pixel rows in the center
of the device. For devices with the channel stop bus, the pixel rows are
replaced with this structure.

-   3514 x 3508 (row x column) or 3512 x 3508 active pixels

-   10 leading extended pixels; a controller could suppress transmission
    of data from these precursor pixels since are useless, in general.

-   32 over scan, vertical and horizontal; these numbers are somewhat
    arbitrary but typical in size for astronomical observations. They
    could be tuned to make row and column overall size be integer
    multiples of the compression region size.

Timothy W. Marin\*, Benedictine University, chemistry department, Lisle,
IL, 60532 <tmarin@ben.edu>

A simple vibrational relaxation model is presented for molecules that
have undergone electronic excitation, using both a kinetic
\'stepladder\' mechanism and Franck-Condon factors. Implications of one
and two excited vibrational modes are discussed. The stepladder kinetic
model describes a series of consecutive, irreversible, first-order
relaxations, and predicts the population of each species over time.
Overlap integrals of the harmonic oscillator wave functions for the
excited and ground states give the Franck-Condon factors for both modes
and generate the absorption spectrum. Time-dependent absorption spectra
are then obtained by combining the absorption spectra with the kinetic
model. An existing simple vibrational relaxation model has been greatly
optimized using Mathcad and Sigmaplot software to allow for
determination of the time-dependent absorption spectra and present them
as 3D plots and animations.

MINT DIRECTOR HONORS TWO MINT OFFICIALS

WITH SPECIAL AWARD FOR UNUSUAL INVENTION

Two longtime career employees of the United States Mint have been issued
a patent for the new clad metal combinations now being used in the
production of dimes, quarters, and half-dollars. The inventors have
assigned the patent and all rights to the process to the United States
Government.

Mrs. Mary Brooks, Director of the Mint, today presented a joint Special
Achievement Award to Philip B. Neisser and Morris V. Boley, for their
invention of the new composite materials. They will share \$5,000 cash
award.

The development of this coin material by Messrs. Neisser and Boley,
Technical Consultant and Assistant Technical Consultant to the Director
of the Mint, was begun in the early 1960's, when the United States found
it necessary to produce a substitute for the traditional silver coinage.
The substitution of a silver-free alloy or an alloy containing a smaller
percentage of silver presented complex problems. Any metal or alloy to
be used in coins must possess certain mechanical, chemical and physical
properties, as well as provide for the protection of the coinage system.

The coin material has outer layers of either copper-nickel or
silver-copper alloys bonded directly to either a pure copper or
silver-copper base, and is used for the production of the half-dollar,
quarter and dime coins.

Mr. Neisser, a chemist and metallurgist, began his Government career
with the Mint in Philadelphia in

K-322

1934 in the Assay Division. He advanced through the ranks and in 1942
was named Assistant Superintendent of the Melting and Refining Division.
In 1951 he moved to the Bureau in Washington as Assistant Technical
Consultant to the Director and in 1958 was promoted to his present
position.

Mr. Boley, a chemist, also entered Government service in 1934 and came
to the Bureau of the Mint's laboratory in 1939. In 1948 he transferred
to the San Francisco Mint where he progressed to the position of
Superintendent of Melting and Refining. In 1958 he returned to the
Bureau in Washington as Assistant Technical Consultant to the Director.
Mr. Boley will retire from Government service on January 31, 1970.
