(***DATELINE, e.g. MADISON, Wis.***) -- [*(***Rank, first and last
name***) *]{.underline}, (***[age]{.underline}***), from
[***(hometown**)*]{.underline} will gain an inside look at military
aerospace operations through the Civil Air Patrol's Air Force Space
Command Familiarization Course, which will be held at
[\<\<]{.mark}Vandenburg Air Force Base, Cal., July
[\<\<]{.mark}13-19.    

This course provides an opportunity for youth interested in becoming
astronauts, technicians or Air Force officers to explore space-related
career fields. Participants will see how the Air Force trains personnel
for careers in space and missile operations. They also will visit a
launch pad, missile silo, control capsule and more. An unarmed Minuteman
III intercontinental ballistic missile is scheduled to launch in
conjunction with this activity to assess and demonstrate the operational
effectiveness of the Minuteman III weapon system.

The activity is one of about 30 National Cadet Special Activities being
sponsored by CAP across the nation this summer. These activities allow
cadets to hone their skills in a variety of areas, including search and
rescue, flight and emergency services, science, leadership fundamentals,
citizenship and military courtesies and to explore aerospace technology
and aviation careers. In 2007, more than 1,200 youth participated in 31
CAP-sponsored summer activities.

Through its cadet program, CAP builds strong citizens for the future by
providing leadership training, technical education, scholarships and
career education to young men and women, ages 12 to 20.

RE: The tariff classification of wrist brace/splints from China

Dear Ms. Kelly-Kobayashi:

In your letter dated September 15, 2004, for Becton Dickinson & Company,
you requested a tariff classification ruling. Two samples were
submitted.

> You state: "Product number 483020... is an adjustable left wrist brace
> in size large/extra large. The same brace is available for the right
> wrist (483022) in size large/extra large and for the left wrist
> (483019) and the right wrist (483021) in size small/medium. The brace
> is composed of Coolmax® and nylon. It has an opening for the thumb,
> two metal splints, and is closed by means of three straps fastened by
> Velcro.
>
> ... "The design of both wrist braces provide protection and 'stability
> for acute or chronic wrist sprains.' The splints of the wrist braces
> fit into the lining and are 'intended to immobilize the wrist to help
> reduce pain' and swelling to an injured area."

We note that unlike most of the other joints, it is possible to
immobilize the wrist from its normal bending yet still readily
participate in everyday life and even certain sports.

We agree that the applicable subheading for both items will be
9021.10.0090, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for "other" orthopedic or fracture appliances, and parts
and accessories thereof. The rate of duty will be free.

The sample is being returned to you in a separate mailing.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact
National Import Specialist J. Sheridan at 646-733-3012.

RE: The tariff classification of laboratory machinery from Spain

Dear Mr. LeRoy:

In your letter dated 17, 1997 you requested a tariff classification
ruling.

With your inquiry you submitted descriptive brochures on several
laboratory machines. The specific machines you inquired about are:

1\. The Chronodiluter, which automatically dilutes solid or liquid
samples (particularly food samples requiring testing and analysis). The
unit utilizes a load cell to measure the weight of the sample and, based
on the weight, calculates the volume of diluent needed to arrive at a
pre-programmed dilution. A micro-processor controlled peristaltic pump
delivers the diluent via a tube into a small sample holder bag or
similar container at a constant rate until the desired dilution is
achieved. The Chronodiluter is accurate to within one percent of the
factor value.

2\. The Masticator, which prepares a homogenous suspension of the
previously diluted sample. The sample and diluent, which are in a
disposable sterile plastic bag, are gently emulsified by means of two
paddles powered by an electric motor. The user can control both the
speed and duration of the homogenizing action.

3\. The Edy Jet spiral plater, which dispenses the previously liquified
sample into an agar petri dish in a spiral pattern. The unit
automatically picks up a sterile syringe-like dispensing tip, lowers the
tip into the sample and withdraws a pre-determined amount of the sample,
and moves and lowers the tip until it contacts the surface of the agar
medium in the petri dish. One motor drives the turntable on which the
petri dish rests, while another moves the tip laterally as the sample is
dispensed, thus spreading the sample across the diameter of the petri
dish in the spiral pattern. Once the sample has been dispensed, the tip
is ejected so that cross-contamination of samples cannot occur.

The applicable subheading for the Chronodiluter and the Edy Jet will be
8413.19.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS),
which provides for pumps fitted or designed to be fitted with a
measuring device: other. The rate of duty will be 1.2 percent ad
valorem.

The applicable subheading for the Masticator will be 8479.89.9797, HTS,
which provides for machines and mechanical appliances having individual
functions, not specified or included elsewhere (in chapter 84): other
machines and mechanical appliances: other: other: other: other. The rate
of duty will be 3 percent ad valorem.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

A copy of the ruling or the control number indicated above should be
provided with the entry documents filed at the time this merchandise is
imported. If you have any questions regarding the ruling, contact
National Import Specialist Alan Horowitz at 212-466-5494.

Muon Trigger

Data is grouped by octants. There are 192 octants with 416 channels per
octant. Based on 2% occupancy, this gives 8 hits/Octant/event. (Note
that we should verify that this is the channel occupancy and not the
\"cluster\" occupancy.)

A single hit can be represented with 9 bits. Assuming 8 hits per
crossing plus 1 header, using 12-bit words, gives a data rate of 102
megabytes/S or 40% of a 2.5Gbit/S link. Hits will almost always occur in
clusters with 2 or more adjacent channels hit per track, so significant
bandwidth efficiency can be gained by clusterizing hits at the source.
With clustering, bandwidth will be less than 57 megabytes/S.

**Processing**

For processing, assume that 2% occupancy translates to an average 4 hit
clusters per octant per event. (416 channels \* .02/event / 2
channels/cluster)

There are 4 views per station: ra, u, v, rb. The associative memory
circuit can easily be applied to the radial views (ra,rb) since
\"station doublets\" can be found first to keep the combinatorics down
and give a rough track slope to constrain hits at other stations.

The other views (u,v) are more difficult. It appears that the best
strategy is to link them to the radial views before finding segments. To
do this requires forming all u-v doublets, and projecting them into the
radial view. An average 4 hits per station produces a doublet rate of
(more than) 16 combinations/event (121 Million combinations/sec) which
is way bigger than the 50 MHz target rate of the AM circuit.

Fortunately, in this case, the AM only has to do an 8-bit match. It
should be possible to have four AM units running in parallel to provide
a throughput of 200 MHz. This assumes that the circuit that projects
"u+v" to the "r" view is also small enough to be implemented 4 times in
an FPGA. Note that this is the bottleneck for the Muon Trigger. It
should be simulated as soon as possible, since the inability to meet
performance requirements with existing hardware will have significant
impact on the overall cost of the Muon trigger.

Segment finding is done as in the pixel trigger's systolic associative
tracker. At the first station, the two radial views are used to project
a rough track into the middle station. If a match is found, the track is
projected to the third station in both the "r" view and "v" view. If a
match is found in the third station, the resulting segment is sent to
the processor farm as a 64-bit packet containing three (r,v) pairs.

**Architecture**

The muon trigger can be built using components designed for the pixel
trigger. It will use 48 SQ processor cards, packaged in 8 SQ backplanes.
Each arm will have its own processor farm with up to 128 processors each
(however the muon trigger algorithm will probably require fewer than 128
processors per arm).

RE: The tariff classification of a wrist slapper, with an attached toy
animal, from China.

Dear Ms. Hazlett:

In your letter dated December 23, 1998, you requested a tariff
classification ruling.

You are requesting the tariff classification on an item which is a wrist
slapper with a miniature toy hippopotamus attached to it. The article is
composed of a toy animal attached to a metal strip covered with fabric.
The wrist slapper collapses and curls up on the wrist when hit. The
actual product will have a toy dog attached to it, but the product's
concept is identical to that of the submitted sample. This office
considers the product to be a composite good consisting of a whimsical
animal toy and a wrist slapper. The essential character of the article
is imparted by the toy animal, and therefore it is classified as a
non-stuffed toy animal since it is prominently stuffed with plastic
pellets rather than textile stuffing. Toys are considered stuffed for
tariff purposes only if primarily filled with textile materials.

The applicable subheading for the wrist slapper with attached animal toy
will be 9503.49.0025, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTS), which provides for "Toys representing animals or non-human
creatures\...and parts and accessories thereof: Other\...Toys." The rate
of duty will be free.

This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Part 177 of the
Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).

### 

### Allocation Criteria

The recreational fishing industry has been fighting the battle of
getting a fair allocation of the resources for many years. How have we
done and what should the criteria be for allocating the resource? When
we determine how to split the pie, how do we transform this into
reality?

The new direction for fisheries management is toward dedicated access
privileges. The very foundation of this management strategy is that user
groups or sectors will receive allocations of the resources. The
allocation process is where the winners and loser will be determined.
The recreational fishing industry will have to maintain a very strong
presence in that process if the industry expects to get its fair share.

**USDA Rural Development to Deliver \$234,643 for 15 Communities**

*Initiative Foundation Again Selected to Administer Rural Development
Grant*

LITTLE FALLS, Minn., June 5 - On Friday, USDA Rural Development leaders
delivered \$234,643 in funding for Initiative Foundation anti-poverty
programs. The foundation then announced the availability of up to
\$10,000 in follow-up grants for 15 rural communities.

"The primary goal of our partnership with USDA is to help strengthen the
economies in these communities," said Kathy Gaalswyk, Initiative
Foundation president. "If we can help support projects that keep local
business doors open, then that's definitely a step in the right
direction."

USDA Rural Development's Rural Community Development Initiative funds
will help cities take action on goals established through the
foundation's Healthy Communities Partnership, a leadership training and
community planning program that includes town hall-style meetings and
strong citizen involvement.

Eligible communities are Backus, Braham, Cass Lake, Clarissa, Grey
Eagle, Hackensack, Henriette, Holdingford, Jenkins, Longville, Onamia,
Pine City, Sebeka, Wahkon and Walker.

"We're interested in projects like downtown revitalization, economic
development and improved cultural relations," said Dan Frank, Initiative
Foundation program manager for community development. "This grant will
enable these communities to continue the great work that they started."

Since 2004, the Initiative Foundation has received more than \$484,000
in federal grant support from USDA. The latest grant will also benefit
the foundation's Healthy Organizations Partnership, which will provide
management training to nonprofit organizations that deal with poverty
issues.

"This program carries out President Bush's vision of a strong rural
America and aims to improve the quality of life and create economic
opportunity in our rural communities," said Steve Wenzel, Minnesota
state director of USDA Rural Development. "The Initiative Foundation is
a valuable partner of the USDA and we appreciate the work it does for
Minnesota's rural communities."

**What is Sustainability?**

**Because of the many interpretations of sustainability, the following
are given as the working definitions being used by the Roundtable:**

## The Brundtland Commission

**"Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the
present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet
their own needs." \-\-- Brundtland Commission, 1983**

**The Daly Rules for Sustainability**

**University of Maryland School of Public Policy professor and former
Chief Economist for the World Bank Herman E. Daly (working from theory
initially developed by Romanian economist Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen and
laid out in his 1971 opus \"The Entropy Law and the Economic Process\")
suggests the following three operational rules defining the condition of
ecological (thermodynamic) sustainability:**

**1. Renewable resources such as fish, soil, and groundwater must be
used no faster than the rate at which they regenerate.**

**2. Nonrenewable resources such as minerals and fossil fuels must be
used no faster than renewable substitutes for them can be put into
place.**

**3. Pollution and wastes must be emitted no faster than natural systems
can absorb them, recycle them, or render them harmless.**

**Some commentators have argued that the \"Daly Rules,\" being based on
ecological theory and the Laws of Thermodynamics, should perhaps be
considered implicit or foundational for the many other systems that are
advocated, and are thus the most straightforward system for
operationalization of the Bruntland Definition. In this view, the
Bruntland Definition and the Daly Rules can be seen as complementary \--
Bruntland provides the ethical goal of non-depletion of natural capital,
Daly details parsimoniously how this ethic is operationalized in
physical terms. The system is rationally complete, and in agreement with
physical laws. Other definitions may thus be superfluous, or mere
glosses on the immutable thermodynamic reality.**

#### Proposed Solution:

Increase the maximum length of the PATH_NAME keyword to 277 characters.
The 277 characters will accommodate 8 directory names of 31 characters
in length, 8 "/" characters used as delimiters, and 1 file name of 31
characters in length = 277 characters.

#### Impact Assessment:

The impact should be low. The Data Dictionary will need to be modified
to change the maximum length of the above keyword.

#### Additional Information:

#### Requested Changes:

An updated element definition for the above keyword has been submitted.

Probing the coverage and chemical speciation of molecules at surfaces
under realistic thermodynamic conditions are of fundamental interest in
the fields of molecular environmental science, heteregenous catalysis
and fuel cell technology. We will here present recent ambient pressure
PES results for the water/Cu(110)-system in the temperature range 270 -
470 K at pressures up to 1 Torr obtained at BL 11.0.2 at the Advanced
Light Source and compare to results obtained under ultra high vacuum
conditions. Already at very low relative humidities (\~1 %) the Cu(110)
surface is at room temperature covered to saturation by one layer of a
mixed water-hydroxyl phase. Some experimental challenges and overcoming
these challenges related to the specific study will be discussed.

**§4.88c Ratings for inactive nonpulmonary tuberculosis initially
entitled after**

**August 19, 1968.**

Rating

For 1 year after date of inactivity, following active tuberculosis 100

Thereafter: Rate residuals under the specific body system or systems
affected.

Following the total rating for the 1 year period after date of
inactivity, the schedular evaluation for residuals of nonpulmonary
tuberculosis, i.e., ankylosis, surgical removal of a part, etc., will be
assigned under the appropriate diagnostic code for the residual preceded
by the diagnostic code for tuberculosis of the body part affected. For
example, tuberculosis of the hip joint with residual ankylosis would be
coded 5001-5250. Where there are existing residuals of pulmonary and
nonpulmonary conditions, the evaluations for residual separate
functional impairment may be combined.

Where there are existing pulmonary and nonpulmonary conditions, the
total rating for the 1 year, after attainment of inactivity, may not be
applied to both conditions during the same period. However, the total
rating during the 1-year period for the pulmonary or for the
nonpulmonary condition will be utilized, combined with evaluation for
residuals of the condition not covered by the 1-year total evaluation,
so as to allow any additional benefit provided during such period.

CO Flight #586 Houston - Orlando Dog - English Bulldog / 3 years old

July 3, 2007 Male / Name: "Hercules"

**[Owner/Guardian]{.underline}**

REDACTED

**[Narrative Description:]{.underline}**

**[Description of the Incident:]{.underline}**

The dog was traveling from Los Angeles to Orlando with a connecting
flight in Houston. He appeared to be fine in Houston, but arrived
deceased into Orlando.

**[Description of the Cause of the Incident:]{.underline}**

There was no apparent cause for this animal's death. All procedures had
been followed, and the temperatures were very mild as the dog flew on
the overnight flight from LAX - IAH. The Houston ground time was short
and there was low clouds / drizzle and the ambient temperatures were in
the low 70's at 6:45am.

The customer consented to a necropsy at their own vet, for which
Continental paid, and the necropsy results were, "...terminal
circulatory collapse/shock associated with Brachycephalic airway
syndrome.." It went on to say, "In this patient, there was also diffuse,
severe, acute nasal and laryngeal congestion." The veterinarian
concluded that, "Brachycephalic airway syndrome exacerbated by
hyperthermia and stress is more likely to have resulted in the death of
this dog."

**[Description of any corrective action taken:]{.underline}**

None. The animal's death was not transit-related.

**[Description of the Incident:]{.underline}**

The dog was accepted in Birmingham at 5:00am for the 6:00am flight to
Houston. The animal arrived into Houston deceased.

**[Description of the Cause of the Incident:]{.underline}**

The ambient temperature conditions on the ground and in the aircraft
were cool and at no time was the animal exposed to any extreme
temperatures, and all policies were followed. According to the necropsy,
"..there were no external signs of trauma, scars, or other
abnormalities." The veterinarian continued to say, "the stomach was
destined with air and contains a small amount of firm plastic" but all
other organs / systems within the animal was within normal limits. The
Veterinarian stated that, "There was no obvious cause of death."

**[Description of any corrective action taken:]{.underline}**

None. The animal's death was not transit related and all procedures were
properly followed.

**[SUBJECT]{.underline}**: Prevention of Sexual Harassment

**[PURPOSE]{.underline}**: Reminder of NRCS's Sexual Harassment Policy

**[EXPIRATION DATE]{.underline}**: September 30, 2005

This is a reminder to all Colorado employees that sexual harassment is
against the law and **will not** be tolerated in any form. All employees
must be educated about and fully understand the serious nature of this
topic.

Every employee must share in the responsibility for preventing sexual
harassment. If you are a victim of sexual harassment or a witness to
inappropriate behavior, please report it. Remember it is not the intent
of the harasser but the impact of the harasser's action on others which
is important. If you are engaging in such behavior, be warned that
penalties can range from a letter of caution to dismissal.

All offices are responsible for ensuring that the Sexual Harassment
Poster (AD-1085, dated 9/2003) is displayed in a prominent place. These
posters were distributed this past year to all offices; however, if you
cannot locate the poster contact your Area Office Coordinator or
Patti-Phillips Keller, 720-544-2829, to request a copy. Supervisors are
to ensure all employees hired since November 1, 2003 (2003 All Employee
Meeting) complete the online "Preventing Sexual Harassment" training. To
complete this training employees login using their WebCAAF
eAuthentication ID and password. You can access this training by going
to the following website <http://www.nedc.nrcs.usda.gov/> and then
proceeding to NRCS eLearning Center. You do not need to go through the
ICAMS process to enroll in this training.

Supervisors will document that new NRCS employees in Colorado have
completed this training in both the supervisory file they maintain on
these employees as well as in the Civil Rights file maintained in each
office. These two items will be requested for review during the next
Civil Right review held in each area.

![](media/image2.png){width="6.5in" height="0.6444444444444445in"}

Employees having difficulty accessing the training can contact Henry
Jackson, Human Resources Specialist (Employee Development), at (720)
544-2825. Questions regarding this requirement can be addressed to Karen
Garner, State Administrative Officer, at (720) 544-2822.

Your support in this endeavor and in ensuring NRCS employees in Colorado
maintain a professional and respectful work environment is greatly
appreciated.

Dear Colleague:

On March 10, 1983, President Ronald Wilson Reagan signed proclamation
5030, which established the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). With his
signature, he effectively doubled the size of the United States at no
cost to the federal government.

The EEZ extends up to 200 miles from the U.S. coastline, including the
commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands, and other
U.S. overseas territories, giving the U.S. sovereign rights over all
living and non-living resources in these waters, the seabed, and the
subsoil.

H.R. 2112 will honor this act by designating the U.S. Exclusive Economic
Zone the "Ronald Wilson Reagan U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone." For more
information, or to cosponsor please contact Laurent Crenshaw in
Congressman Darrell Issa's office at 5-3906, or
<Laurent.Crenshaw@mail.house.gov>.

Sincerely,

Darrell Issa

Member of Congress
