INTERNATIONAL BUREAU CLARIFIES AN ERROR MADE WITH REGARD TO THE
COMMENCEMENT AND TERMINATION DATES OF THEIR PROGRAM TO INCREASE
COMPLIANCE WITH THE LICENSING REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION 214 OF THE
COMMUNICATIONS ACT AND SECTIONS 34-39 OF THE SUBMARINE CABLE LANDING
LICENSE ACT

1\. On January 30, 2001, the International Bureau and the Enforcement
Bureau issued a public notice[^1] to announce a program to increase
compliance with the licensing requirements of Section 214 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (the \"Communications Act\") and
Sections 34-39 of the Submarine Cable Landing License Act (the
\"Submarine Cable Act\"). In that public notice, the International
Bureau announced the commencement of a 90-day period during which
carriers are encouraged to apply for necessary authorizations pursuant
to Section 214 of the Communications Act and Sections 34-39 of the
Submarine Cable Act. At the end of the 90-day period, the International
Bureau will refer cases of noncompliance to the Enforcement Bureau for
appropriate enforcement action.

2\. The International Bureau stated that the 90-day period would
commence on the date of publication of the public notice in the Federal
Register. On February 5, 2001, the public notice was published in the
Federal Register.[^2] Due to a typographical error, the Federal Register
stated that the 90-day period would commence on May 7, 2001. This
information is not correct. The 90-day period commenced on February 5,
2001, the day the public notice was published in the Federal Register.
The 90-day period will *terminate* on May 7, 2001. On February 12, 2001,
the Federal Register issued a correction that states that the 90-day
period commenced on February 5, 2001.[^3]

**14. Science and Understanding**.

It might be claimed that what has been offered here is not science: no
testable predictions have been set forth. But that judgment depends on
what science is, or should be. During the earlier part of this century,
under the influence of Positivist of one sort or another, science was
narrowly construed so as to exclude the objective of providing
scientific understanding; an understanding *based on experimentation and
theory construction* of how nature works and how we fit into that
picture. The founders of quantum theory exploited that narrower
conception of science, but even they themselves were unable to quell the
impulse to understand. And the recent profusion of efforts to go beyond
the pragmatically superb Copenhagen position attests to the prevalence
among scientists of the sentiment that stark prediction alone is not
enough.

Moreover, the fact is that, like it not, science does impact strongly on
the understanding of nature and our place within it that underlies
contemporary Western culture. But the specific science that plays this
role is mainly the mechanistic classical physics of the nineteenth
century. As a foundation for society this conception is flawed no only
by the fact that it is not true, but also by its internal inconsistency:
how can we rationally contemplate and plan what we should do when it is
already predetermined without any reference to our thoughts what we will
in fact do? Building our lives and our institutions on false and
contradictory concepts is a prescription for disaster.

What has been described in these pages is an understanding of nature and
our role within it that is based squarely on twentieth-century physics:
quantum physics. This use of quantum physics involves no mysticism or
appeal to religious traditions from either The East or The West. It is
right out of von Neumann's book. That does not mean that it is
incompatible with religious ideas: indeed it is undoubtedly far more
compatible with the world's important religions that classical physics
could ever be. But it is not *based* on those ideas: it is based on the
findings of physicists and mathematicians. This vision, being erected
upon quantum theory, encompasses all of the truths of the earlier
classical conception, and corrects its failings. How could a rational
science-minded seeker of understanding not favor it over its classical
competitor?

[FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE]{.underline}

April 15, 1974

Treasury Secretary George P. Shultz announced today that he has approved
regulations prohibiting the exportation, melting or treating of pennies,
in concurrence with the Federal Reserve Banks. The Coinage Act of 1965
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to take this action whenever he
deems it necessary to protect U.S. coinage.

Demand for more than two billion pennies during the past three months is
double the demand for the same period last year. This unprecedented
increase in the outflow of pennies cannot be explained by legitimate
needs for commerce and trade, but can only be attributed to speculation
that the metal content of the penny will ultimately exceed its face
value.

The regulations issued by the Secretary prohibit without exemption any
unauthorized melting or treating of pennies. Violators of the
regulations, which will be enforced by the United States Secret Service,
are subject to the statutory penalty of up to \$10,000 fine or five
years imprisonment, or both.

***[A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A MISSIONARY]{.underline}***

***[ACTIVITY]{.underline}***

\- Using the experience and knowledge gained from participating in the
activities outlined in "Life as a Missionary" and "The Missionaries'
Gift," hold a discussion about life around the missions. Would the
students liked to have been a missionary then? Why or why not? Was life
easy or not? What was the relationship between the missionaries and the
Indians? What gifts did the missionaries bring? What did the Indians
give to the missionaries? Contrast the good and the bad events that
shaped our history. Lead the discussion to address \"a day in the life
of a missionary.\" What do the students think it would have been like?
![](media/image2.emf){width="0.18958333333333333in"
height="0.14305555555555555in"}1

\- Read and review the old document translation on **page II - 13** to
further discuss "a day in the life of a missionary."

\- Assign students the task of writing a journal with the theme of "a
day in the life of a missionary." Have students pretend they are
missionaries for at least one day and record the activities they believe
the missionaries might have done. Encourage them to use flowery language
such as Kino or his contemporaries used.

"Our intention was to leave Tucubavia for Cocospera but we encountered,
coming from the north, messengers, or runners of the Sobaipuris of San
Xavier of Bac, forty leagues distant, and from San Cayetano of the
Tumacacori. With some crosses they gave us, they knelt with great
veneration and asked on behalf of all their people that we come to their
villages also. The father visitor told me that those crosses represented
grand tongues which spoke much and that we could not fail to go where
they called us. Whereupon we ascended to the valley of Guevavi, a
distance of about fifteen leagues and arrived at the village of San
Cayetano of Tumacacori where some of the Sobaipuri chieftains were,
having come twenty and twenty-five leagues from the north. At San
Cayetano they had prepared three arbors for us; one in which to say the
Mass, another for sleeping, and the third for a kitchen. There were more
than forty houses together here. We baptized some children and the
father visitor gave good hopes to everyone that they would receive the
fathers and the holy baptism and the remedy for their eternal salvation
for which they were asking. And, having seen so many worthy people, so
docile and so affable, and with such pleasant valleys, so lovely and
fertile, filled with industrious Indians, he spoke these words to me,
"My Father Rector, not only will none of the four fathers assigned to
this Pimeria be removed, but four more others will come, and with divine
grace, I will try to be one of them." We then went on to the village of
Guevavi and to the valley and settlement of Santa Maria, some fifteen
leagues away."

Nonoptical imaging has yet to visualize both the endocrine and exocrine
components (particularly acini, islets and the ductal tree) of the
pancreas due to poor spatial resolution. In this study, we employed high
field strength MR microscopy as a noninvasive method of imaging pancreas
microstructure. Mouse pancreatic tissue samples from FVB6 F1 strain and
EL-Kras F1 transgenic mice were imaged ex vivo using magnetic resonance
microscopy without contrast agents and were compared to histology. The
pancreata were perfused with formalin and excised from 2, 6, 11, and
16-month-old mice. Using high-resolution 3D imaging on a 14.1T MR imager
and with a voxel size of 70um, acinar cells, islets and ducts were
identified.  In the spin-echo images, ductal fluid had the greatest
signal intensity and is branched throughout the acini; acinar cells had
the lowest intensity; and islets had moderate intensity and were
circular in shape, interspersed in the tissue. There were detectable
morphological differences between the four ages and between the normal
and transgenic mouse pancreata, where preinvasive lesions could be
detected. Further evidence of change was observed in T1 and T2
relaxation times. T1 and T2 of acinar and islet cells remained constant
over all ages; but T2 of ductal fluid had a sharp spike at 11 months in
both normal and transgenic mice.  These changes in relaxation time might
correlate with biomolecular changes that occur with aging. Capturing
cellular changes through noninvasive imaging can become a reliable means
of identifying precancerous ductal lesions in the clinic, as
demonstrated here in mice.\

Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building Corridor Modernization

Office of Personnel Management

U.S. General Services Administration

Public Buildings Service

National Capital Region

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) and GSA\'s National Capital
Region partnered on the upgrades to the public corridors in the agency's
headquarters in the Theodore Roosevelt Federal Building (FB) in
Washington, DC. The corridors in the Roosevelt FB had not been
significantly modified since the building opened in the early 1960's.
OPM and GSA partnered in developing the scope of the project in an
effort to upgrade the facility to meet the requirements of both
agencies. Some of the work included:

-   Replacing the ceiling and light fixtures with energy efficient
    lighting

-   Removing the asbestos vinyl floor tiles and laying down high quality
    carpet

-   Installing state-of-the-art cabling to support the current voice and
    data communications needs

-   Improving corridor and public entry signage

-   Installing a new fire alarm system with fire sprinklers.

By combining work items, OPM and GSA were able to save money and reduce
construction time. Once the project is completed, the Roosevelt FB will
provide a modern workplace for its employees and a visitor friendly
facility for the public.

### Zion National Park to Begin Post-Fire Rehabilitation

Zion National Park Superintendent Jock Whitworth announces the
completion of the Post-Fire Aerial Application of Herbicide
Environmental Assessment (EA) and the signing of the Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) by the National Park Service Intermountain
Regional Director.

The park will begin the aerial application of herbicide on the area
burned in the Dakota Hill Complex Fire after October 21, 2007. The
project is expected to last up to 3 weeks -- depending on weather. The
aerial application of herbicide on up to 3,161 acres within the park is
intended to interrupt the grass-fire cycle that is perpetuated by
cheatgrass, a non-native, highly flammable grass. Because of the remote

RE: The tariff classification of men's knit pullover garments from
Pakistan.

Dear Mr. Sun:

In your letter dated March 15, 2002, you requested a tariff
classification ruling on behalf of Adams USA, Inc.

Styles FJ-1 and FJ-2 are men's football jerseys. Style FJ-1 is
constructed from 100 percent polyester, finely knit mesh fabric and has
a rib knit, cross-over crew neckline; short hemmed sleeves; a mesh front
and back yoke; and a straight, hemmed bottom. Style FJ-2 is constructed
from 100 percent polyester, finely knit mesh fabric and has a rib knit,
cross-over crew neckline; short, hemmed sleeves; a 100 percent
polyester, high luster, warp knit front and back yoke; and a straight,
hemmed bottom.

The applicable subheading for Styles FJ-1 and FJ-2 will be 6110.30.3050,
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, (HTS), which provides
for: sweaters, pullovers, sweatshirts, waistcoats (vests) and similar
articles, knitted or crocheted: of man-made fibers: other: other: other:
other: men's or boys'. The rate of duty will be 32.4 per cent ad
valorem.

Styles FJ-1 and FJ-2 fall within textile category designation 638. Based
upon international textile trade agreements, products of Pakistan are
subject to visa requirements and quota restraints.

The designated textile and apparel categories and their quota and visa
status are the result of international agreements that are subject to
frequent renegotiations and changes. To obtain the most current
information, we suggest that you check, close to the time of shipment,
the [U.S. Customs Service Textile Status Report]{.underline}, an
internal issuance of the U.S. Customs Service, which is available at the
Customs Web site at www.customs.gov. In addition, the designated textile
and apparel categories may be subdivided into parts. If so, visa and
quota requirements applicable to the subject merchandise may be affected
and should also be verified at the time of shipment.

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

A copy of this ruling letter 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 this
ruling, contact National Import Specialist Mary Ryan at 646-733-3271.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 12, 2002

*Washington, D.C. -* Congressman Gil Gutknecht issued the following
statement regarding President Bush's speech to the United Nations on
Thursday, September 12, 2002.

"The President has laid out a strong case.

After British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain returned from Munich
where he made concessions to Hitler, Churchill went to the House of
Commons and said, 'Mr. Prime Minister, you have been given the choice
between war and dishonor. You have chosen dishonor\... and we shall
surely have war.'

Similarly, President Bush reviewed point-by-point Saddam Hussein's
refusal to honor the agreements he made with the United Nations.

Now the United Nations must choose; enforce existing resolutions or
delay the inevitable."

We are a very small adoption agency in Lancaster, Pennsylvania that has
been in operation since 1988.  We locate forever homes for about
10-15-children per year from the United States and many International
countries.  We maintain a very high standard of practice and are members
if the JCICS. 

 

If the Hague Convention passes, and agencies are required to go through
the accreditation process, our agency, like many others, will be forced
to close their doors forever.  We do not receive any outside sources of
funding, relying specifically on the program fees from our clients. 
There was a period this year that we struggled due to the economy,
almost having to close the agency.  If we are forced to obtain liability
insurance for every occurrance, we will be forced to close.  We do not
even bring in income of \$100,000 per year and there is no way that we
would be able to purchase this insurance.

 

Additionally, our agency works very hard to ensure that every need of
our adoptive families is met.  We network with agencies all over the
United States for the placement of children both domestically and
internationally.  We have formed some very close relationships with
these agecies as well as with our adoptive families. 

 

What will happen to our on-going cases, such as with post-placement, and
those families who do have placements yet, still completing the
process?  How do we explain to our families that because of politics, we
can no longer assist them, even though they have formed a bond of trust
with our agency? 

 

Pennsylvania reviews our files every year, ensuring that we are
completing adoptions within the statues and regulations of the state. 
What will be the purpose of the Department of Public Welfare within each
state?  I feel that you are also giving them a \"slap on the wrist\",
stating that they are not competent to oversee adoption agencies within
their state.

 

Please reconsider the accreditation process.  I cannot even imagine
having to shut down Adoption Unlimited, Inc. due to political
interference.  We do live in a democratic society, or do we?

 

Respectfully,

TO: Chair, NIAC

RE: Utilization of Aviation Position Trainees

DATE: January 10^th^, 2007

The 2006 fire season highlighted the continued dilemma of meeting
sustained staffing requirements for CWN helicopter modules. The 2006
IHOG Revision clarified that CWN modules must consist of fully qualified
individuals. The field perception is that this has lessened the
opportunity for trainees to get assignments. HELM and HECM continue to
be critical shortage resources.

While all avenues related to this situation should be explored, one
obvious gap is that the performance based method of becoming fully
qualified should be readily available.

The following data was provided by NICC:

HELM HECM

Fully Qualified 1301 4994

Trainee 362 2404

2006 Total Requests\* 3033 3415

2006 UTF (approx) 1099-1618 947-1387

*\*This value is only the requests that made it to NICC, it does not
incorporate requests filled at the local or geographical level.*

IHOps recommend that NIAC issue a letter directed to the Fire Directors,
Incident Management Teams and the Dispatch Community encouraging
increased sponsorship of Aviation Position Trainee utilization and
opportunities to become fully qualified.

Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the New

# Aerospace Medical Certification Subsystem

**Why can't I enter comments, medications, doctors' visits, etc?**

You must set any and all Pop Up Blockers on your computer to allow pop
ups from our site.

When I click on Submit, I get stuck on the "Please Wait" window and
never get a confirmation screen.

You must set any and all Pop Up Blockers on your computer to allow pop
ups from our site.

**What is the Pending Exam list?**

A "pending" record is created when an applicant record is opened on AMCS
and a transmission isn't completed. It is possible that an exam was
started and never completed; it is also possible that an applicant's
record was opened after an exam was submitted. Only the exams pending
under your AME number will show up on your list. If there is an
applicant on your pending list and you are not sure why, search for that
applicant on the search screen. Check the list of previous exams located
at the bottom of the search screen. If all the exams you have done for
that applicant are listed, then you can delete the pending record. If
there is an exam that you have done that is not listed, open the pending
record and complete it.

**How do I get back to the Search Screen once I complete an exam?**

Click the binoculars icon in the top left hand corner.
![](media/image1.png){width="0.4270833333333333in" height="0.28125in"}

**Do I have to click on Save at the bottom of each page?**

You only need to click on Save if you are going to log out of the system
and you need to save a partial entry. Your entry is also saved when you
navigate through the pages by clicking on the Next Page and Previous
Page buttons or the Page 1, Page 2, and Page 3 icons.

**Why do I have to enter comments twice?**

Remember, page 1 of data entry reflects what the applicant has written
on the 8500-8 form. Page 2 is the AME's portion of the form. The Medical
Certification Division has always wanted AME comments regarding the
front of the form. So Item 60 is just looking for the AME's perspective
on what the applicant has said on the front of the form.

**How do I list disqualifying defects in Item 63?**

The AME comment boxes for Items 25 -- 48 and Item 60 have a column on
the left side of the pop up box that you should check if the
corresponding item number is disqualifying. Checking that box will cause
that Item number to show up in #63.

Suggested Contract Language for 508-Compliant ITS EDL Deliverables

"All electronic and information technology (EIT) procured through this
contract must meet the applicable [accessibility
standards](http://www.access-board.gov/sec508/standards.htm) at 36 CFR
1194, unless an agency exception to this requirement exists. 36 CFR 1194
implements [Section 508](http://www.access-board.gov/508.htm) of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended. EIT includes, but is not limited
to, telecommunications products (such as telephones), information kiosks
and transaction machines, World Wide Web sites, multimedia, office
equipment such as copiers and fax machines.

In accordance with the above, in addition to the work requirements
specified in the Statement of Work, contractors/vendors must ensure that
all EIT that they provide either: (1) meets the technical provisions of
the Section 508 Access Board Standards applicable to a given procurement
(see below); or (2) uses designs or technologies as alternatives to
those prescribed in the specified technical provisions, provided they
result in substantially equivalent or greater access to and use of a
product for people with disabilities.

All deliverables for posting on the World Wide Web must conform with
\"[Minimum Requirements for FHWA Web
Pages](http://intra.fhwa.dot.gov/wpcz/minimum.htm).\" Deliverables will
be evaluated for 508 compliance and must be encoded to conform to HTML
4.01 Transitional or higher. The W3Consortium Validator
(<http://validator.w3.org/>) may be used as an evaluation tool.
Non-conforming deliverables will be returned to the contractor to be
brought into conformance at the contractor\'s expense.

The following standards have been determined to be applicable to this
contract \[check appropriate block; "1194.22" and "1194.31" are always
marked for EDL deliverables.\]:

\_\_\_\_\_[\_]{.underline}1194.21 Software applications and operating
systems.

\_\_\_[X]{.underline}\_ 1194.22 Web-based intranet and internet
information and applications.

\_\_\_\_\_\_1194.23 Telecommunications products.

\_\_\_\_\_\_1194.24 Video and multimedia products.

\_\_\_\_\_\_1194.26 Desktop and portable computers.

\_\_\_[X\_]{.underline} 1194.31 Functional performance criteria.

\_\_\_\_\_\_1194.41 Information documentation and support

Note: The standards do not require the *installation* of specific
accessibility-related software or the attachment of an assistive
technology device, but merely require that the EIT be compatible with
such software and devices so that it can be made accessible if so
required by the agency in the future.

Dear Chairmen,

> We write to ask that you hold hearings on the international revenue
> entitlements entailed in the United Nations Convention on the Law of
> the Sea (better known as the Law of the Sea Treaty, or LOST).

Annex 3 of the LOST outlines procedures whereby the U.S. will be forced
to pay a contribution to the International Seabed Authority (ISA) based
on a percent of production of oil, gas or the product of any other
commercial activity outside a nation\'s exclusive economic zone. By any
reasonable definition, this provision would allow a UN-affiliated
international authority to impose a tax directly on U.S. economic
activity. These payments, and the financing of the International Seabed
Authority would necessitate substantial ways and means of the United
States.

According to testimony from Peter Leitner, an expert on the treaty from
George Mason University, the ISA is a \"government\... composed of a
legislature, an executive, a judiciary, a secretariat, and several
powerful commissions."

Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy emphasized in *Human
Events* that,

> "In a move without precedent and with ominous implications, the
> International Seabed Authority would have the power to impose what
> amounts to taxes on American citizens. The UN has long sought means to
> generate revenues without having to rely on donations from member
> states. If the United States were to become a party to LOST, the
> Treasury would be charged by the ISA for permits and other fees
> associated with American commercial exploitation of the seabed.\
> \
> Now, it is unclear precisely how the U.S. government would recover
> such unprecedented international taxes, imposed without real
> representation, from American companies involved in mining or energy
> operations in international waters. What is clear, however, is that
> the taxpayer will be on the hook for at least a quarter of the
> International Seabed Authority\'s annual operating budget, our tithe
> under the UN formula. And Americans will have to pay the ISA for the
> privilege of allowing our companies to explore and develop the
> resources of seven-tenths of the world\'s surface\--resources that
> were, until LOST, considered to be exploitable by whomever could gain
> access to them."

The US Congress must be thoroughly apprised of the revenue issues
associated with the Law of the Sea Treaty so that we will be prepared to
explain to the American people the expense of ceding United States'
power to international authorities.

I agree that large amounts of money have been spent to put technology
into the classroom. And that is a start. However if the teachers are not
trained or qualified to assist our students in bringing them into the
digital age, then who will? Educators stress the importance of becoming
part of the new wave of thinking but do so by teaching in the age old
tradition of lecture and notes. We should be practicing what we preach.
I believe that monies should be directed towards the education of
teachers in the effective use of classroom technology. It should be a
requirement for not only those that are currently becoming teachers but
also for those currently in the profession. The technology training
should be mandatory for all professionals on a yearly basis and
culminated by attainmant of some type of certification. I believe the
enactment of NCLB has put the importance of technology in the background
with its evaluation of student achievement through standardized testing.
The emphasis on testing leaves little room for individual advancement
and exploration. It appears that the right hand doesn\'t know what the
left hand is doing.
**§3.323 Combined ratings.**

\(a\) *Compensation*:

\(1\) *Same type of service.* When there are two or more
service-connected compensable disabilities a combined evaluation will be
made following the tables and rules prescribed in the 1945 Schedule for
Rating Disabilities.

\(2\) *Wartime and peacetime service.* Evaluation of wartime and
peacetime service-connected compensable disabilities will be combined to
provide for the payment of wartime rates of compensation. (38 U.S.C.
1157) Effective July 1, 1973, it is immaterial whether the disabilities
are wartime or peacetime service-connected since all disabilities are
compensable under 38 U.S.C. 1114 and 1115 on and after that date.

\(b\) *Pension*:

\(1\) *Nonservice-connected disabilities.* Evaluation of two or more
nonservice-connected disabilities not the result of the veteran's own
willful misconduct will be combined as provided in paragraph (a)(1) of
this section.

\(2\) *Service-connected and nonservice-connected disabilities.*
Evaluations for service-connected disabilities may be combined with
evaluations for disabilities not shown to be service connected and not
the result of the veteran's own willful misconduct.

Whenever a veteran is suffering from two or more separate permanent
service-connected disabilities of such character as clearly to interfere

of compensable degree under the 1945 Schedule for Rating Disabilities
the rating agency is authorized to apply a 10-percent rating, but not in

**§1.914 Collection in installments.**

\(a\) Whenever feasible, VA shall collect the total amount of a debt in
one lump sum. If a debtor is financially unable to pay a debt in one
lump sum, VA may accept payment in regular installments. VA should
obtain financial statements from debtors who represent that they are
unable to pay in one lump sum and independently verify such
representations whenever possible. If VA agrees to accept payments in
regular installments, VA should obtain a legally enforceable written
agreement from the debtor that specifies all of the terms of the
arrangement and contains a provision accelerating the debt in the event
of default.

\(b\) The size and frequency of installment payments should bear a
reasonable relation to the size of the debt and the debtor's ability to
pay. If possible, the installment payments should be sufficient in size
and frequency to liquidate the debt in 3 years or less.

\(c\) Security for deferred payments should be obtained in appropriate
cases. However, VA may accept installment payments if the debtor refuses
to execute a written agreement or to give security. (Authority: 31
U.S.C. 3711; 38 U.S.C. 501).
