**§51.190 Infection control.**

The facility management must establish and maintain an infection control
program designed to provide a safe, sanitary, and comfortable
environment and to help prevent the development and transmission of
disease and infection.

\(a\) *Infection control program*. The facility management must
establish an infection control program under which it:

> \(1\) Investigates, controls, and prevents infections in the facility;
>
> \(2\) Decides what procedures, such as isolation, should be applied to
> an individual resident; and
>
> \(3\) Maintains a record of incidents and corrective actions related
> to infections.

\(b\) *Preventing spread of infection*.

> \(1\) When the infection control program determines that a resident
> needs isolation to prevent the spread of infection, the facility
> management must isolate the resident.
>
> \(2\) The facility management must prohibit employees with a
> communicable disease or infected skin lesions from engaging in any
> contact with residents or their environment that would transmit the
> disease.
>
> \(3\) The facility management must require staff to wash their hands
> after each direct resident contact for which hand washing is indicated
> by accepted professional practice.

\(c\) *Linens*. Personnel must handle, store, process, and transport
linens so as to prevent the spread of infection. (Authority: 38 U.S.C.

Fault studies for the LTB-ETB Region

Purpose of the fault studies was to produce proton beam loss in the LTB
line close to the penetration in linac-booster wall where the LTB line
crosses the ETB (EBIS to Booster) line and measure the resulting prompt
radiation on the linac side. (See Figure 1)

![](media/image1.png){width="5.999305555555556in"
height="4.334722222222222in"}

Figure 1: layout of LTBT and ETB lines showing cross over.

Calculations:

Calculations were made to see if the single loss can be produce near the
LTB and ETB line cross over.

Fault Study I:

There is a gate valve 25 cm down stream of LTB-ETB cross over ( see
figure 2)

Beam from polarized source (5 x 10^11^ PPP) was dumped o this gate valve
and prompt radiation were measured on the linac side of the penetration.
NO radiation was measured.

Explanation was given as follows: since the thickness of gate valve is
to small to produce measurable radiation on the linac side of the wall.

![](media/image2.png){width="5.995138888888889in"
height="2.7159722222222222in"}

Figure 2: LTB-ETB cross over, showing gate valve.

Fault Study II

It was thought, if the full beam could be dump on the flanges down
stream end of LTB-ETB-cross chamber, which are much thicker than the
gate valve than one could see the prompt radiation on the linac side of
the wall.

The ID of the flange is 6 inches (15.24 cm) and the beam size at this
location is approximately 1.1 cm, ~x~=0.9051 m, ~x~=-3.6 m, ~x~ =15 mm
mrad (95%, un-normalized), p/p=0.1% (95%). If the full beam has to hit
the flange, this implies that central orbit has to move it this location
about 8.72 cm.

There is H steerer about 91 cm upstream of the flange. To produce
deflection at the flange 8.72, this steer ahs to give a horizontal kick
of about 97 mrad (5.6 degrees).

This steer cannot produce this kick.

Other idea was to use D2to D5 magnet to produce the beam loss at the
flange.

The ID of the line is 3.455 inches (4.38 cm radius). Transport
calculation shows that if central orbit is moved by 8,72 cm at the
flange, then it also move \~4.4 cm at exit of QH7 (which is before DH5).
Figure 3 shows the central orbit displacement along the LTB line to move
central orbit by 8.72 cm at the flange.

Figure 3: Central orbit displacement along the LTB line to produce the
displace metn at the flange about 8.72 cm. Flange location is 42.62
meter in this figure. Horizontal solid line showing the aperture in the
LTB line except at LTB-ETB cross chamber (42.12 to 42.62 m) where the ID
is 6 inches.

This shows that one cannot produce single loss point at flange down
stream of LTB-ETB cross over using D2-D5 dipoles.

Bacterial cellulose (BC) presents significant advantages over
plant-derived cellulose with its structural and mechanical properties.
However its commercial use is limited by the costs of production. Then,
it will be desirable to investigate the effectiveness of using cheaper
culture media for BC production. Lignocellulosic materials constitute an
attractive feedstock for this purpose because of their availability at
low costs and large amounts.

The rapid accumulation of sludge from paper recycling mill effluents
derived from the increase of the recycling rates poses an environmental
problem and a strong interest is emerging in finding novel value-added
uses for this waste. Following process optimisation, we have completely
saccharified a single stock of this sludge using a mixture of commercial
enzymes, obtaining a liquor consisting of glucose and xylose in absence
of biologically inhibitory compounds. The hydrolysate sugars were used
for supplementation of suitable culture media of acetic acid bacterium
for cellulose production. The bacterial strain used in this work was
isolated in our laboratory and has previously demonstrated to be able to
produce BC using glucose in the culture medium.

Atmospheric *in-situ* measurements of trace gases, stable-isotopic
compositions, and aerosol optical properties can provide valuable
constraints/information regarding sources of key volatiles (including
methane) on Titan, origin of Titan's atmosphere, nature of Titan's haze,
and the photochemical environment in Titan's atmosphere. Development is
underway to apply a new optical technique, noise-immune cavity-enhanced
optical-heterodyne spectroscopy (NICE-OHMS, pioneered by Ye, Hall, and
co-workers), to the detection of trace gases and isotopic analysis in
planetary atmospheres using near IR spectroscopy, and to the optical
characterization of aerosols. This instrument technique combines the
path-length advantage of cavity enhanced methods with the noise
suppression advantage of an innovative heterodyne detection scheme to
yield unprecedented sensitivity. A NICE-OHMS spectrometer for studies of
CO, CH~4~, and aerosols has been constructed, and its operation,
figures-of-merit, development, and considerations relevant to future
Titan exploration will be discussed.

The President's Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform

1440 New York Avenue NW

Suite 2100

Washington, DC 20220

Gentlemen:

I understand that you are soliciting input on issues that taxpayers have
encountered because of the tax system. I may be late in providing this
input, but due to travel I was unable to respond earlier.

I am an individual taxpayer that was subjected to unfair taxation due to
both the AMT as it is applied, and the rules on recognizing income for
Incentive Stock Options (ISO). My case is a very simple one. I was a
senior executive of a software company in the year 2000, and as a result
of a merger into a public company I was encouraged to exercise some
stock options to participate in ownership in the company. I made the
purchase in February 2000. During the entire year, and well into the
next year I was a part of a select group of senior executives who were
forbidden by company declaration and SEC rules from selling any of the
stock. The company was a very high profile one, and there were constant
activities that I was privy to, which prevented any of us from trading
in the stock. That was something I accepted, as I was not trying to make
a quick profit on the stock.

Early in the year 2001, as I was preparing to leave the company the
company made some incorrect public statements, which caused its stock
value to fall be more than 99 %, to a level where it still remains
today. However, because of the AMT and ISO revenue recognition rules I
was forced on the year 2000 return to treat this as if I had received
more than \$400,000 of income and to pay an additional tax of over
\$100,000. I paid this amount even though I had a difficult time doing
so, and I continued to own, and had not sold, stock that was now work a
small percent of its original value when I purchased it. The result was
that I had no gain on the purchase or a sale (which I did not do), but I
had a significant tax event.

I have always paid my taxes and have never been accused of not doing so.
I have no problem with the tax law when I am taxed on income received.
However being taxed for a paper event, with no actual income is not a
fair tax system. I strongly encourage you to change the law and consider
recovery of tax money which was taken on income not received.

Sincerely,

Karl Klessig

Per your request I am enclosing my input.

Dear Colleague:

The Assistive Technology Act (AT Act) was amended by P.L. 108-364 on
October 25, 2004. These amendments make a number of important changes to
the purpose of and activities under the Act, and transfer the
administration of the AT Act within the Office of Special Education and
Rehabilitative Services from the National Institute on Disability and
Rehabilitation Research (NIDRR) to the Rehabilitation Services
Administration (RSA). While the AT Act allows six months for this
transition to take place, this transition has already been completed.
Please refer all inquiries and correspondence regarding the AT Act to
RSA using the contact information provided at the end of this letter.

Since the AT Act's initial passage in 1988, NIDRR's leadership has been
invaluable in helping establish and support the fifty-six comprehensive
statewide programs (Statewide AT Programs), thirty-one alternative
financing programs (AFPs), and fifty-seven Protection and Advocacy
related to AT (PAAT) programs that exist today. NIDRR's contributions to
these programs, and the contributions of the programs themselves, have
improved the lives of thousands of individuals with disabilities who
benefit from assistive technology.

AFPs have played and will continue to play a vital role in the AT Act's
emphasis on increasing the provision of and access to AT for individuals
with disabilities. A special rule in the AT Act allows the Secretary to
award grants under title III of the AT Act of 1998 in Fiscal Year (FY)
2005. Congress appropriated approximately \$4 million for use under this
special rule. RSA will make these funds available through a grant
competition that it is currently developing.

States have raised concerns regarding the stoppage of web-based data
collection that has been in effect since November 2004. This stoppage of
data collection was necessary while the Department sought approval of
the data collection instrument from the Office of Management and Budget.
We thank you for your patience and for continuing to collect data in
other forms until it can once again be entered into the web-based data
system.

Since early December, RSA has sponsored a series of meetings to discuss
the AT Act with entities that are funded under the Act and stakeholders.
RSA hopes to continue sponsoring such meetings as a way of gathering
input during the implementation of the AT Act.

For further information, please contact:

exciting time and to improving access to assistive technology for all
individuals with disabilities.

# ORDER

**Adopted: March 6, 2001 Released: March 7, 2001**

By the Acting Chief, Financial Analysis and Compliance Division, Cable
Services Bureau:

1\. In this Order, we consider a motion (\"Motion\"), filed by the
above-captioned Complainant, for an extension of time to file a reply to
a Response filed by the above-captioned Respondent. Complainant filed
its Complaint on January 17, 2001, pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 224.
Respondent filed its Response on February 16, 2001. Under the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 1.1407 (a), a reply from Complainant is
due by March 8, 2001. Complainant requests that the time for filing a
reply be extended to March 15, 2001. In support of its Motion,
Complainant argues that it did not receive a copy of the Response until
February 22, 2001. Complainant states that Respondent does not oppose
its Motion.

2\. It is the policy of the Commission that extensions of time shall not
be routinely granted.[^1] However, in this instance, Complainant has
provided us with a compelling reason that supports an extension of time.
Because there was a delay in Complainant receiving a copy of the
Response, Complainant requires the extension in order to provide the
Commission with a complete and accurate reply. Moreover, Respondent has
agreed to the brief extension of time. Therefore, we will extend the
time for filing a reply until March 15, 2001.

3\. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Sections 0.321, 1.46 and
1.1407 of the Commission\'s rules, 47 C.F.R. §§ 0.321, 1.46 and 1.1407,
that Complainant's Motion for Extension of Time IS GRANTED TO THE EXTENT
INDICATED HEREIN.

**Statement by Congressman John Sullivan on Iraq Elections**

>  

**WASHINGTON, D.C. -** Iraqis are electing today a permanent Council of
Representatives to govern a new, democratic country. Congressman John
Sullivan (R-OK) issued the following remarks:

"As the New Year quickly approaches at home, our nation's troops are
abroad helping to secure a free and stable Iraq. Today, Iraqis voted to
complete the country\'s first full-term, four-year government in their
nation's history."

"The most encouraging news is that large numbers of Sunni Arabs, who
benefited from Hussein's reign and boycotted the January elections,
chose to vote in this election at some of the country\'s 33,000 polling
stations, resulting in high voter turnout. With Iraqis flooding polling
stations and crossing security lines, elections officials were forced to
keep the polls open for an extra hour to accommodate the men, women,
Sunnis, and Shiites casting their equal votes. "

"There is no doubt the liberation of Iraq has been difficult and
dangerous for the brave men and women serving in our military. However,
their hard work and commitment to serving and protecting our nation has
furthered a greater good, bringing democracy to a region of the world
that has never known it and protecting the security of the American
people."

"The sacrifices of our troops and their families must not be forgotten
or diminished during this important time in world history.  They are
true American heroes.  I am thankful and proud of the progress made in
Iraq and believe today's elections are an important stepping stone to
handing Iraq back to its people."

# MEMO

**Date:** December 21, 2007

**To:** Bridget C.E. Dooling

Desk Officer, Office of Management & Budget

**From:** Lisa Holden-Pitt

Education Research Analyst, US Dept. of Education/OSERS/OSEP

**Re:** [Blanket OMB 83C Request:]{.underline} Clarifying instruction
for IDEA data collection forms

**OSEP requests OMB approval to add language to the following
collections for which Change Worksheets and associated forms are
attached:**

1820-0043 -- Report of Children with Disabilities Receiving Special
Education Under Part B of the Individuals with Disabilities Education
Act

1820-0518 -- Personnel Employed to Provide Special Education and Related
Services for Children with Disabilities.

1820-0517 -- Part B, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

Implementation of FAPE Requirements

1820-0521 -- Report of Children with Disabilities Exiting Special
Education During the School Year.

1820-0621 -- Report of Children with Disabilities Subject to
Disciplinary Removal.

1820-0659 -- Report of the Participation and Performance of Students
with Disabilities on State Assessments by Content Area, Grade, and Type
of Assessment.

1820-0677 -- Report of Dispute Resolution Under Part B of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.

1820-0557 -- Report of Infants and Toddlers Receiving Early Intervention
Services and of Program Settings Where Services are Provided in
Accordance with Part C, and Report on Infants and Toddlers Exiting Part
C.

1820-0678 -- Report of Dispute Resolution Under Part C of the
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act: Complaints, Mediations, and
Due Process Hearings.

**OSEP requests approval to add the following sentence to the
collections listed above:**

\"In providing data for this collection, the State is to submit complete
and unsuppressed data.\"

**Justification for the request:**

In response to concerns raised recently regarding privacy of data in
small cells, the Department desires to add a sentence to the General
Instructions for each of the IDEA section 618 data collections
(currently for SY2007-08), to clarify that, even for data cell values
representing a small number of cases, the data must be submitted. This
change is consistent with clarifications included in the instructions to
States regarding the ED*Facts* collection approved by OMB \[October 19,
2007\]. To fulfill the Secretary\'s stewardship responsibility, the
Secretary needs complete, accurate and reliable data regarding the IDEA
programs, including the data contained in small data cells. The
Department is fully cognizant of, and committed to meeting, all legal
requirements to protect information submitted through these collections,
both in how it uses the data within ED, and in how it disseminates that
information to the public. In reporting to the public, OSEP is
particularly sensitive to the need to prevent release of personally
identifiable information, which could occur if very small numbers were
disseminated.
# UNDERGROUND OUTLET

## PRACTICE INTRODUCTION

**USDA, Natural Resources Conservation Service―Practice Code 620**

![](media/image1.jpeg){width="3.7180555555555554in"
height="4.135416666666667in"}

### UNDERGROUND OUTLET

An underground outlet is a conduit installed beneath the surface of the
ground to collect surface water and convey it to a suitable outlet.

### PRACTICE INFORMATION

The purpose of the practice is to dispose of excess water from
structures such as terraces, diversions, and surface drains without
causing damage by erosion or flooding. An underground outlet can be
installed when a buried outlet is needed or when surface outlets are
impractical because of stability problems, climatic conditions, land
use, farmability, or equipment traffic.

The outlet must be sufficiently stable for all anticipated flow
conditions and designed for the maximum anticipated water surface.
Outlets should not be placed in areas of active erosion.

### COMMON ASSOCIATED PRACTICES

Underground Outlet is commonly used in a Conservation Management System
with:

-   Filter Strip (393)

-   Diversion (362)

-   Surface Drainage, Field Ditch (607)

-   Surface Drainage, Main or Lateral (608)

-   Roof Runoff Structure (558)

-   Terrace (600)

-   Nutrient Management (590)

-   Pest Management (595)

For further information, refer to the practice standard in the local
Field Office Technical Guide and associated practice specifications and
job sheets.
**MAJOR CONSTRUCTION**

[Budget Formulation]{.underline}

Once the "scope" of the facility is identified, FD prepares an estimate
of total project budget cost. The total project budget includes
construction costs, planning and design costs, and other construction
costs. Using the facility square footage through the preliminary
programming information, a cost per square foot is applied based on
historic information from previous projects and industry estimating
guides. At this stage, there is little detail known about the facility.
The total gross square footage is multiplied by the cost per square foot
to provide the "Estimated Construction Cost" (ECC). The ECC represents
the cost that construction Contractors would bid to construct the
facility, sometimes referred to as brick and mortar cost.

***Lavish Gifts for Legislative Favors?***

** **

**We need transparency in the earmarking process!**

 

**H.R. 1642**

** **

** **

**Dear Colleague:**

 

We are seeking cosponsors for a bi-partisan bill to provide
accountability in the earmark process. [The bill would mandate that
agencies cannot fund earmarks unless they are contained in the actual
legislative language of the bill, regardless of whether they are listed
in a committee report.]{.underline} This provision would force earmarks
to be included in the actual text of a spending bill, so that members on
the House floor could debate any egregious earmarked spending.

 

As you know, members on the House floor can not amend committee report
language, and they can only amend the actual text of a bill. However,
most earmarks are contained in the committee report or final conference
report of the bill, not in the actual bill language itself.

 

In addition, our bill provides point-of-order protections that prevent
the waiving of House rules with regard to attaching non-germane spending
(i.e. earmarks not contained in either the House or Senate spending
bill) in the conference report of a spending bill. This would prevent
spending from being included in the conference report that the House and
Senate have not seen.

 

Please contact Brian Clifford of Flake\'s staff at 5-2635 for more
information or to cosponsor.

Re: MM Docket No. 04-312

RM No. 11049

Dear Licensees:

On August 6, 2004, the Video Division adopted a *Memorandum Opinion and
Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking* in response to a Joint Petition
to Amend the Table of Allotments, filed by NBC Telemundo Phoenix, Inc.
(NBC) and Community Television Educators, Inc. (CTE).[^1] By letter
dated September 8, 2004, the Chief of the Video Division denied their
Joint Motion to Change *Ex Parte* Status from "restricted" to
"permit-but-disclose."[^2]

NBC and CTE filed a timely request seeking review of the Division's
September 8^th^ letter decision. In their request for review, they
raise, for the first time, certain public interest benefits which may
result from a change of *ex parte* status in this proceeding. We have
considered the parties' submission as a supplement to its earlier
motion, and will change the *ex parte* status of this proceeding from
"restricted" to "permit-but-disclose" for reasons set forth in the
supplement, and in recognition of the heightened interest which has been
expressed in connection with this proceeding.[^3]

In view of the foregoing, the Joint Motion to Change *Ex Parte* Status
filed by NBC Telemundo Phoenix, Inc. and Community Television Educators,
Inc. in connection with the above-referenced rule making proceeding IS
HEREBY REINSTATED AND GRANTED.

Sincerely,

Barbara A. Kreisman

[^3]: Accordingly, the Application for Review filed by the parties on

The old model of students tied to their desks listening intently to
their teacher is no longer valid.

Students and teachers find themselves needing access to information in a
variety of environments: during class, in the hallway between classes,
at the library, in study groups, at home, and even in coffee shops!

Increasingly, students and faculty are demanding the latest information
at their fingertips on a device designed to seamlessly integrate with
their existing work habits. Traditional laptops are much too heavy to
carry around all day and cause classroom distractions due to noisy
typing and obstructed views. In addition, complex equations, diagrams,
and technical illustrations are difficult to enter via a keyboard and
mouse.

Furthermore, in our current world, there is too much activity and
distraction. Students yearn to be engaged, to be involved. Interactivity
is the key. Technology should be seen as a tool to bring the excitement
of the real-world into the classroom...not feared for doing so.

One of the potential solutions to all of these challenges in education
is the Tablet PC. ...

With Tablet PCs, teachers can annotate classroom presentations, write
corrections on homework using digital ink, and send their students
handwritten e-mail. Likewise, instead of noisy typing, students can take
handwritten notes on an endless sheet of digital paper and convert them
to text, preserving their diagrams, math equations, and sketches.

By combining the mobility of a PDA with the full power of a desktop
computer, the Tablet PC is an all-in-one, unobtrusive tool that enables
educators, students, and administrators to be more productive in more
situations. They can exchange ideas anywhere, at anytime, and stay
connected in the overall pursuit of knowledge.
