**Congressman McHenry Rails on Supreme Court for**

**Anti-Death Penalty Decision**

*U.S. Supreme Court falsely cites "national consensus" against death
penalty for convicted 17 old murderers.*

* *

WASHINGTON -- Today, Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC-10) railed
against the United States Supreme Court for its ruling that 16 and 17
year old convicted murderers cannot receive the death penalty for their
crimes.

 

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the death penalty for minors is "cruel
and unusual" punishment, and cited a "national consensus" against the
practice in its decision. The ruling overturns a ruling from just 16
years ago that upheld the penalty for 16 and 17 year old offenders.

 

"I don't know what 'national consensus' the Supreme Court is talking
about. Did Justice Kennedy take a poll and base a judicial decision on
that?" asked Congressman McHenry after he heard of the ruling. "The
Supreme Court is imposing its left-wing will on the American people. It
has a history of inventing law that reflects the values of the lawyers
who serve at its helm. The Court legitimized slavery, forced
segregation, legalized abortion, pushed radical affirmative action,
compelled a bizarre system of school busing, and has now made the death
penalty illegal in some cases. This is judicial activism at its worst,
and Congress must act to find ways to halt the will of this Court."

 

The justices who wrote the decision based their argument on their own
political views on the death penalty issue, rather than the Constitution
or legal precedent. The ruling will specifically not allow the death
penalty for Lee Boyd Malvo, the convicted sniper who, when 17, was
convicted of murdering several innocent people in the Washington, DC
area in 2002. Maryland prosecutors considered trying him with an eye
toward the death penalty, after he received two life sentences for the
killings in Virginia, but will no longer take up the case.

 

Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy, wrote in the court's opinion
that, "Our determination finds confirmation in the stark reality that
the United States is the only country in the world that continues to
give official sanction to the juvenile death penalty."

McHenry responded: "Whether or not the United States is the only country
in the world that uses the death penalty is no reason to call the death
penalty unconstitutional. There are lots of American laws that the
Europeans don't like. Is that reason for the Supreme Court to step in
and strike them down? This is legislating from the bench, nothing less,
and it must be stopped."

 

There are several approaches being considered in Congress to stop the
runaway nature of today's federal courts. One is to restructure the
nation's federal appeals and circuit court system. Another is to call on
term limits for federal judges. Congressman McHenry has stated that he
is open to both ideas.

Dear NIST,

I am very gratified to see that the voting machine issues are being 

reviewed.  As someone who is very politically active and spent years 

in the computer industry, I never had the blind faith in this 

hardware that someone people evinced.  I was very disturbed by the 

fact that there were no printed receipts and that the equipment used 

proprietary software for the most part, but what bothered me the most 

was the fact that all the systems communicated to tabulate.  In a 

financial system, there would be internal safeguards such as printed 

subtotals for reconciliations and other summaries that would prevent 

anyone from easily changing all totals without being detected.  Yet 

in one of the most important activities of civic life, such wholesale 

manipulation was being facilitated with no thought as to the 

implications.

If it were up to me, there would be sub-batch totals and printouts of 

each vote and each states totals that would have to foot to their 

precinct and region totals.  This would make it virtually impossible 

for someone to change anything without being noticed.  Hopefully, 

these ideas will be considered.

Finally, I hope that citizens who bring discrepancies to the 

attention of their local voting registrar, newspapers, the NIST or 

other groups won\'t be treated with the term, \"conspiracy theorist\" 

and derided as those of us who tried to point out past problems 

were.  Just as people who give tips to the SEC about insider trading 

are treated with great respect, so should people trying to ensure 

honest voting should be treated.

Sincerely,

Gina de Miranda

##  OET Tutorials On New Spectrally Efficient Techniques

The first tutorial on September 7, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., will
cover adaptive antennas (so-called \"smart antennas\") and be presented
by Dr. Marc Goldburg of ArrayComm, Inc. in the Commission meeting room.
Adaptive antennas can provide significant link budget improvements and
mitigate interference in communications systems. This, in turn, can lead
to improved coverage, increased capacity, and other operational
benefits. This technology can be used, for example, in cellular systems.

The tutorial will begin with an overview of the economics of spectral
efficiency, and continue with a review of the relationships among
spectral efficiency, coverage, network operating costs, and end-user
costs for current and planned cellular systems. Basic principles of
adaptive antennas will then be presented, which will include classes of
adaptive antenna systems, fundamental signal processing gains, equipment
architectures, and the primary performance determinants of adaptive
antenna systems. The impacts of air interface design choices and service
definition with adaptive antenna performance will be explored and
illustrated with results from commercial deployments.

The second tutorial will be presented by Randall West of ComSpace Corp.,
and take place on September 7 from 1:30 to 3:00 in the Commission
meeting room. Mr. West will discuss the technology enhancements that
permit ComSpace Corporation\'s Digital Channel Multicarrier Architecture
Technology to provide 8 independent communication paths on one 25 kHz
channel. In particular, Mr. West will present the configuration,
compression, modulation, range, and queuing efficiencies that are
involved in this new, spectrally efficient technique.

***Judah Marsh confession, Feb. 14^th^, 1787***

The Confession of Judah Marsh, jun. of Ware, in the county of Hampshire.

Ware, Feb. 14, 1787.

I Desire to take this method to confess my faults to my country. Being a
young man, in the bloom of life, I was lately chosen an Ensign in the
train band of Ware in a legal manner, though I never received a
commission: but being in the midst of people, who were opposed to
government, and being urged by my Captain and by several persons, not
only in Ware, but in a town contiguous, whose knowledge and judgment in
public affairs, I supposed much superior to my own; I did at the desire
of the band, go with them, in the capacity of an Ensign, to Springfield,
in opposition to government; after that to Worcester, and lately went
with Capt. Shays and his party to Springfield, Ludlow, Chicopee, and
Amherst: John Bullen of Ware went as Captain, Joseph Bellows Lieut..
Bullen left the company at Chicopee; in marching from Chicopee to
Amherst Bellows was wounded at South-Hadley; the care of the company
devolving on me, I dismissed them at Amherst, and have not joined that
party since. I am now fully sensible that I have acted a part contrary
to the laws of God, as well as my country; and though I never had a
design to shed blood, nor did I imagine the controversy would ever come
to shedding blood, yet I have been greatly to blame, in hearkening to
bad advice; and in undertaking in so wicked a cause; and pursuing it so
far as I have done.---I have voluntarily resigned myself to legal
authority, and throw myself on the mercy of the community. If my youth
and unexperience or former peaceable and inoffensive behaviour, (which I
doubt not will be testified by those who are acquainted with me) will be
any recommendation to the mercy of my country, I hope they will plead
for me. Should my life be spared, which I humbly beg of my country
particularly of the authority, I hereby declare, not only my penitence
for past offences, but my sincere and hearty resolution to let be
peaceable and good subject to the government of this Commonwealth---and
whether my life be spared or not, I beg the forgiveness of God and an
injured community.

**STATEMENT OF**

**COMMISSIONER JONATHAN S. ADELSTEIN**

*Re: Improving Public Safety Communications in the 800 MHz Band;
Supplemental Order and Order on Reconsideration; WT Docket No. 02-55*

Everyone agrees that the top priority of this proceeding has been
resolving the 800 MHz interference problem currently experienced by our
nation's first responders. In addressing that critical goal, though, one
of my next top objectives has been to minimize the impact of our
decision on 800 MHz licensees not directly affected or implicated by the
interference problem. Over the last decade or so, the 800 MHz band has
evolved into one of the premier land mobile radio communications bands
and is now the home to thousands of licensees from all sectors of
industry and state and local government. I have worked hard to protect
the rights of these licensees during this proceeding because it simply
is the right thing to do.

In this regard, I am pleased to support the clarifications in this Order
addressing the relocation of one group of 800 MHz licensees -- those
non-Nextel, non-SouthernLINC licensees who hold Economic Area (EA)
licensees. We rightly confirm that existing ESMR licensees like AIRPEAK
and Airtel have the option to be relocated at Nextel's expense to the
ESMR portion of the band (862-869 MHz). We also clarify that site-based
licenses used within ESMR systems can be relocated at Nextel's expense
to the 862-869 MHz block -- even if they are not located within the
licensee's EA -- provided that the conditions laid out in paragraph 163
of the 800 MHz Report and Order are satisfied. If ESMR licensees think
that this standard is too restrictive for certain operational sites in
their system, they should file a waiver request detailing why this
outcome is not in the public interest.

In the item, we also provide an opportunity to EA licensees who
presently do not meet the ESMR definition but are interested in
operating an ESMR system in the above 862 MHz band. These licensees can
choose to move to the ESMR band and retain the "white space" they
currently hold through their EA license provided they are willing to
operate a cellular system in the band pursuant to technical rules
clarified in this item. In the alternative, these EA licensees can
remain in the band below 862 MHz, and operate "high-site" systems. The
choice is theirs, and that is the right outcome of this proceeding.

Finally, I very much appreciate the support of my colleagues and the
hard work of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau in providing for the
important clarifications in this Order.

In eukaryotes, the pre-mRNA product of transcription must undergo a
series of modifications before it can be used in translation. Splicing
is a modification in which the introns of the pre-mRNA transcript are
removed, while the exons are retained. In cancer cells, aberrant
splicing may occur, leading to aberrant mRNA transcripts. The resulting
proteins may be non-functional or dysfunctional. The Godley laboratory
is interested in determining the role of aberrant splicing of *DNMT3B*
in cancer. DNMT3B is one of three known DNA methyltransferases, all of
which perform DNA methylation during replication. DNMT1 is primarily
involved in maintenance methylation, while DNMT3A and DNMT3B perform *de
novo* methylation. Recently, the Godley lab has shown that various
cancer cells contain *DNMT3B7,* an aberrant transcript of *DNMT3B,*
which produces a truncated protein and leads to altered DNA methylation
in these cells. Additional aberrant transcripts of *DNMT3B* have also
been described, including *∆DNMT3B 1-7*, which were identified in
non-small cell lung cancer but have not been observed in other cancer
cell lines. To further our understanding of the makeup of cancer cells,
the goal of this project was to determine how many *DNMT3B* transcripts
are present in cancer cells. To that end, we were able to identify and
clone three delta transcripts, *∆DNMT3B 5-7* in six different cancer
cell lines. We also identified *DNMT3B19* in one of these cell lines,
which had not been previously observed in non-small cell lung cancer.
Furthermore, we analyzed *DNMT3B* transcripts in neuroblastoma primary
tumors and demonstrated a correlation between the progression of the
disease with the number of *DNMT3B* transcripts present. These findings
highlight role of *DNMT3B* transcripts in neuroblastoma progression as
well as the prevalence of *DNMT3B* transcripts across several cancer
cell types.

Fossil hydrocarbons are commonly interpreted as diagenetic products of
biochemicals, and therefore as proxies for the enzymes or organisms that
produced those biochemicals. Since many enzymes function only under
stringent environmental restrictions, the fossil hydrocarbons serve as
excellent indicators for those conditions. In particular, biosynthesis
of sterols and some triterpenoids in extant organisms requires the
presence of molecular oxygen in the environment. Thus, the detection of
fossil hydrocarbons with these carbon skeletons far back in Earth
history has been used to infer the antiquity of oxygenic photosynthesis.
Alternative hypotheses posit that these compounds were produced in the
past by alternate enzymes which did not require oxygen. In this paper,
we address this suggestion with a review of the current state of
knowledge surrounding the oxygen requirement for steroid biosynthesis
and the phylogenetic distribution of steroid and triterpenoid
biosynthetic pathways.

The hopanoid and steroid biosynthetic pathways are very highly conserved
within the bacterial and eukaryotic domains, respectively. Patterns in
the sequences for oxidosqualene cyclase, the key enzyme of sterol
biosynthesis, suggests that this capacity was present in modern form in
the last common ancestor of eukaryotes. Overall, eleven molecules of
O~2~ are required by four enzymes to produce one molecule of cholesterol
and a range of chemical and biological arguments lend no support for an
ancestral anaerobic pathway. We also report our most recent results on
the detection of indigenous steranes and triterpanes in Pilbara cores
obtained through the NADP and the Agouron Institute drilling in South
Africa.

Dear Mr. Purnell:

It is with great pleasure that I write to express the City of
Wilmington\'s enthusiastic support for this Disposition Application.
This application would permit the Wilmington Housing Authority (\"WHA\")
to dispose of the unit located at 412 N. Harrison Street, Wilmington,
Delaware to the Wilmington Housing Partnership (\"WHP\"), who will
transfer it to a local non-profit for rehabilitation under their home
ownership program. The partnership being proposed with WHP will enable
the WHA to reduce its vacant unit count, foster the restoration of a
vacant property, and increase the value of the unit to both the
neighborhood and the City.

The Wilmington Housing Authority is seeking HUD\'s approval to enter
into an Agreement of Sale with the WHP. This agreement would further
assist the City of Wilmington with our goal to rejuvenating communities
where houses have been vacant and are in need of rehabilitation. It
would also endorse critical public/private partnerships, such as that
between the WHA and the WHP. We feel that this agreement would be in the
best interest of all involved.

Sincerely,

James M. Baker Mayor

Senator Connie Mack

Chairman of the President\'s Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform

Dear Senator Mack:

1\. Headaches, unnecessary complexity, and burdens that taxpayers - both

individuals and businesses - face because of the existing system.

Answer: I am a retired business man. The headaches meeting the rules of
the IRS, are

that I had to devoted time to the IRS, that took me away from my
business operations,

thus losing revenue for my business. The complexity was very distracting
from my

business concentration. Quarterly reports and meeting April 15 deadlines
were a burden.

Withholding for employees was a burden. Budgeting to meet IRS payments
was a

juggling process, and very burdensome.

2\. Aspects of the tax system that are unfair.

Answer: It is grossly unfair that all the illegal drug money is untaxed,
as well as \'under-

the-table\' cash is untaxed. The cost of operating the IRS is unfair in
millions of dollars. It

is unfair for illegal aliens to come here and work for cash money and
never pay taxes.

3\. Specific examples of how the tax code distorts important business or
personal

decisions.

Answer: I could not judge how much money I would have left after taxes,
to improve my

inventory or spend to improve or repair my place of business. I could
not determine if I

had enough funds to hire more people or if I had to fire someone.

4\. Goals that the Panel should try to achieve as it evaluates the
existing tax

system and recommends options for reform.

Answer: The panel needs to achieve the simplest tax code possible, that
is; simplest for

business and individuals. They should strive to provide a system whereby
tax collecting

law suits will be no more. They should relieve businesses of the tax
reporting system and

deadlines. They should strive to allow every taxpayer to keep all of his
income for

himself, whereby he can budget his own life. Achieve a system where the
IRS can be

completely eliminated.

\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\--

[USDA PARTNERS WITH FRENCH LICK FOR PROGRESS]{.underline}

French Lick (#02-05; 12-20-2001): USDA Rural Development announced today
that the French Lick Town Hall Building Corporation has been awarded
funding for construction of the new municipal building. The Corporation
is receiving a \$75,000 grant and a \$925,000 low interest loan from
USDA.

Gregg Delp, Community Programs Manager for USDA Rural Development,
presented a check for the federal funding to Dan Noble, President,
French Lick Town Hall Building Corporation, at a meeting today in the
Town Hall. Local officials and representatives of USDA Rural Development
gathered there to finalize the details of the funding.

The project is designed to construct a new municipal building on Main
Street which will include area for the Town Hall, Street and Fire
Departments. This project will also include parking spaces for those
doing business in the municipal building. It will allow the relocation
of the Fire Department making for a safer entry and exit of equipment
than the current location.

Delp said, "Congratulations for undertaking this important building
project. We are very pleased to be a partner with you in this major
improvement to your community."

USDA Rural Development distributed nearly \$11 million in funding in the
past three years to support local efforts to build and improve community
facilities such as community buildings, libraries, health care
facilities, day care centers, and other essential services. Last year,
USDA Rural Development assisted 15 families in Orange County become
homeowners through \$1 million in mortgage loans.

Single family home loans, rural rental housing, water and waste water
facility funding, business and industry loans, and community facility
loans and grants are financial resources available from USDA Rural
Development. For more information about USDA Rural Development programs
in this area, interested individuals should contact USDA Rural
Development, 1484 Executive blvd., Jasper, IN 47546-9300; phone

CATEGORY: Classification

TARIFF NO.: 8517.82.00

Mr. John Vanden Hoek

Triangle Industrial Center

P.O. Box 67

Medford, New Jersey 08055

RE: \"SecuriCrypto\" data security devices

Dear Mr. Vanden Hoek:

This is in reply to your letter of November 9, 1989, on behalf

of the GRIM Corporation, requesting classification of

SecuriCrypto data security devices, under the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA).

FACTS:

The SecuriCrypto device is intended to guard data

communications systems against unauthorized access or monitoring.

The SecuriCrypto is an encryption system for data communications

that utilizes a key of 1,000,000 bits. Typical applications

include: between front-end computers, terminal controller to

mainframe computer, between PC\'s, communication with peripherals

and multipoint local area networks. The methods of communication

include: fixed cables, modem (leased lines), modem (dial-up

communication), high-speed digital links and satellite

transmissions.

ISSUE:

What is the classification of the SecuriCrypto data

communication security device under the Harmonized Tariff

Schedule of the United States Annotated (HTSUSA)?

LAW AND ANALYSIS:

The General Rules of Interpretation (GRI\'s) to the HTSUSA

govern the classification of goods in the tariff schedule. GRI 1

states, in pertinent part:

\...classification shall be determined according to the terms

of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes\...

Heading 8517, HTSUSA, provides for: \"\[e\]lectrical apparatus for

line telephony or telegraphy\....\" The Harmonized Commodity

Description and Coding System Explanatory Notes (EN) to heading

8517 of the HTSUSA, page 1360, state:

The term \"electrical apparatus for line telephony or line

telegraphy\" means apparatus for the transmission between two

points of speech or other sounds (or of symbols representing

written messages, images or other data), by variation of an

electric current or of an optical wave flowing in a metallic

or dielectric (copper, optical fibers, combination cable,

etc.) circuit connecting the transmitting station to the

receiving station.

Clearly, the SecuriCrypto is apparatus designed for the

transmission of data between two points, by variation of an

electric current connecting the transmitting station to the

receiving station. Therefore, it is Customs position that the

SecuriCrypto is properly classifiable under subheading

8517.82.00, which provides for: \"\[e\]lectrical apparatus for line

telephony or telegraphy\...: \[o\]ther apparatus: \[t\]elegraphic.\"

See HQ 058516 (October 5, 1978).

HOLDING:

The SecuriCrypto is classifiable under subheading 8517.82.00,

HTSUSA, which provides for: \"\[e\]lectrical apparatus for line

telephony or telegraphy\...: \[o\]ther apparatus: \[t\]elegraphic.

The rate of duty is 4.7% ad valorem.

Call Sign: E080149

File No. SES-LIC-20080625-00849

Dear Mr. Stevenson:

On June 25, 2008, and July 2, 2008, New Jersey Public Broadcasting
Authority filed the above-captioned applications to operate two
Temporary-Fixed earth stations in the conventional Ku-Band.[^1] For the
reason discussed below, we dismiss the applications, as defective,
without prejudice to refiling.[^2]

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. New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority's applications are
incomplete, which renders them unacceptable and subject to dismissal.
The deficiency is as follows:

New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority did not respond to items
E43-E60 of Schedule B of each of FCC Form 312 regarding the specific
frequency bands, antenna polarization, emission designators, maximum
EIRP per carrier, maximum EIRP density per carrier, modulation and
services, elevation and azimuth angles, satellite arc, and maximum EIRP
density toward the horizon.

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 these
applications filed by New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority.

Sincerely,

Scott A. Kotler

Chief, Systems Analysis Branch

Satellite Division

International Bureau

[^1]: 11.7-12.2 and 14.0-14.5 GHz.

[^2]: If New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority refiles an application
    identical to the ones dismissed, with the exception of supplying the
    missing information, it need not pay an application fee. *See* 47
    C.F.R. § 1.1109(d).
