**Re: Halaco Engineering Company**

**Docket \# EPA-HQ-SFUND-2007-0072**

Dear Docket Coordinator:

As the California State Assemblymember representing the City of Oxnard,
which is the location of the Halaco Engineering Company site, I am
writing in strong support of the addition of Halaco to the National
Priorities List.

For decades, the operations of this former metals recycling company have
been contaminating the soil, groundwater, and ocean and adjacent
wetlands. Part of the terrible environmental legacy of Halaco is a
massive 40' high waste pile. You have recently stabilized this pile in
order to stop the continued runoff and windblown distribution of its
toxic and radioactive materials, for which I am very grateful.

However, according to your recent Integrated Assessment Report, the
contents of the waste pile include, but are not limited to,
radionuclides, aluminum, arsenic, barium, beryllium casmium, chromium,
copper, lead, magnesium, cesium-137, potassium-40, and thorium 228, 230,
and 232. The adjacent historic wetlands, which are the subject of
restoration for public use, are also home to several endangered and
threatened species.

In light of the contents and level of contamination of the waste pile
and the continuing risk to public health, I believe that the pile must
be completely removed from the site, not just treated and capped, and
that it is deserving of a high priority ranking.

Thank you for you for your attention to the health of my constituents
and to the environmental health of this fragile wetlands area, which is
one of the few that remains on the magnificent California coast.

Please don't hesitate to call on me if I can be of any assistance in
your assessment of the worthiness of this site for NPL status.

Sincerely,

**§14.666 Regional Counsel responsibility.**

\(a\) The Regional Counsel having jurisdiction will conduct such
additional investigation as is deemed necessary to establish all facts
required. If the claimant has a potential claim for indemnification
against other than the United States, the Regional Counsel will
ascertain that a suitable assignment, legally enforceable, of all right
and title to such claim, to the extent the United States makes
reimbursement, and the agreement of the claimant to furnish such
evidence as may be necessary to pursue such claim is of record. If such
potential claim is against a carrier or insurer, the District Council
will ascertain that claimant has filed a timely proper claim against the
carrier or insurer and review same for legal sufficiency.

\(b\) The Regional Counsel having jurisdiction over a claim will not
authorize payment thereon unless the requirement of §§14.664 through
14.667 are met. In determining the equitable value of a claim, the
depreciation schedule issued by the General Counsel will be used as a
guide.

Regulatory Analysis and Development

USDA/APHIS/PPD, Station 3A-03.8

4700 River Road, Unit 118

Riverdale, MD 20737-1238

Dear Sir or Madam:

The following are the comments of the Indian River Citrus League on the
following proposed rule: Citrus Canker; Movement of Fruit From
Quarantined Areas, Docket No. APHIS-2007-0022.

The Indian River Citrus League represents 1,000 citrus growers, and 21
affiliated packinghouses in a six county area on Florida's east coast.
The Indian River region is the largest grapefruit growing area in the
world and has more at stake in the published rule then any other entity.
The Indian River region currently contains approximately 150,000
commercial acres of citrus that is primarily shipped in the fresh fruit
channels, both domestically and internationally.

On behalf of our entire grower membership I want to express their
support for the rule and of the department's hard work in moving this
important rule forward. The citrus season historically begins around
October 1 of each year thus it is extremely important that this rule is
in place on October 1. Delays would create distribution problems in the
market place and downward pressure on our grower returns.

During the 2006-07 season, we are unaware of any inadvertent
transshipments of Florida citrus to citrus producing states, thus we
suggest that any request for extension of the current comment period is
driven by economics and not science.

This science-based rule is well founded and we urge its approval.

Sincerely,

**VA Awards \$724,000 Grant to Wisconsin Veterans Home**

WASHINGTON -- The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has awarded a
grant of \$724,000 to the state of Wisconsin for repairs to the state
nursing home in King.

\"This grant honors our commitment to care for the men and women of
Wisconsin who have served in uniform,\" said the Honorable R. James
Nicholson, Secretary of Veterans Affairs. \"Our federal-state
partnership helps to provide comfortable housing for some Wisconsin
veterans.\"

The \$724,000 grant will pay up to 65 percent of the cost of replacing
the water pipe system at the King facility. Overall cost of the project
is estimated at \$1.1 million.

This year, VA provided three other grants totaling \$4.9 million for
various projects at King, including renovations to the food service
facility, the water well system and the ventilation system.

> Wisconsin also operates a veterans home in Union Grove. The homes are
> available to veterans who served on active duty for two or more years
> or the full period of their initial service obligation, whichever is
> less. Veterans must have lived in Wisconsin for 12 consecutive months
> and have honorable discharges or they must have been a Wisconsin
> resident at the time of entry into military service.
>
> In fiscal year 2004, VA spent over \$1.1 billion in Wisconsin to serve
> more than 474,000 veterans who live in the state. VA operates major

**PENCE HERALDS FIRST PROSECUTION USING TRUTH IN DOMAIN NAMES LAW HE
AUTHORED**

Washington, D.C.- Congressman Mike Pence heralded the announcement today
by the U.S. Attorney's office that John Zuccarini was arrested and
charged with his alleged creation of misleading domain names on the
Internet to deceive minors into logging onto pornographic Web sites.
This is the first prosecution using the "Truth in Domain Names Act" that
Pence authored and President Bush signed into law this spring.

**"I want to commend James Comey, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern
District of New York for his hard work in tracking down this
cyberscammer and bringing him to justice,"** said Pence. **"Through his
efforts, the Internet will be safer for all of our children."**

According to the U.S. Attorney's office, in the alleged complaint,
Zuccarini used various Internet registries to register domain names
which consist of misspellings of popular legitimate domain names. For
example, Zuccarini registered the Internet domain name
"[www.dinseyland.com, \<http://www.dinseyland.com,\>]{.underline}" a
misspelling of "[www.disneyland.com.
\<http://www.disneyland.com.\>]{.underline}"

The one-count Complaint alleges that Zuccarini engaged in the practice
of registering at least 3,000 misleading domain names. The activity
allegedly brought Zuccarni as much as \$1 million a year.

SEPARATE STATEMENT OF COMMISSIONER KEVIN MARTIN

Re: *Revision of the Commission's Rules To Ensure Compatibility with
Enhanced 911 Emergency Calling Systems, Request for Waiver by Cingular
Wireless LLC, Sprint Spectrum L.P. d/b/a Spring PCS, Verizon Wireless,
AT&T Wireless Services, Inc., Nextel Communications, Inc.*

Like all of my fellow Commissioners, I am very frustrated and
disappointed that Phase II E911 is not farther along than it is today. I
too would have preferred to take more immediate enforcement measures,
and the current failure to meet the Commission's Phase II E911 deadlines
is shameful. Nonetheless, we are told by manufacturers and suppliers
that meeting today's deadlines is a practical impossibility. Let me be
clear, however, these delays must come to an end. We must remain
vigilant to ensure that this technology will quickly meet its full
potential for the American public. Much hard work remains to be done in
the days ahead.

I also commend and express my gratitude to the public safety community
for the time and dedication they have put into this issue. I have relied
on their expertise and look forward to continued partnership with them
as we move forward with implementation *and strict enforcement* of the
schedules we adopt today.
Signatures of Random Matrix Theory in the Discrete Energy Spectra of

Shape Disordered Metallic Clusters

*Laura Adams*

*University of Minnesota*

Low temperature scanning tunneling microscope images and spectroscopic
data have been obtained on subnanometer size Pb clusters fabricated
using the technique of buffer layer assisted growth. Discrete energy
levels were resolved in current-voltage characteristics as current peaks

rather than current steps. Distributions of peak voltage spacings and
peak current height were consistent with Wigner-Dyson and Porter-Thomas
distributions respectively for a few of the clusters, suggesting the
relevance of random matrix theory to the description of the electronic

eigenstates of the clusters. The observation of peaks rather than steps
in the current-voltage characteristics is attributed to a resonant
tunneling process involving the discrete energy levels of the cluster,
the tip, and the states at the interface between the cluster and the
substrate surface. There is an apparent transition to chaos in the level
statistics as a function of cluster shape that will also be discussed.

Mathematical Sciences Education Board

DEVELOPING A RESEARCH BASE

**Mathematics Learning Study (MLS)**

# Goals of the Activity

-   To synthesize the rich and diverse research on pre-kindergarten
    through eighth-grade mathematics learning;

-   To provide research-based recommendations for mathematics teaching,
    research, and curriculum for improving student learning and to
    identify areas where research is needed; and

-   To give advice and guidance to educators, researchers, publishers,
    policy makers, and teachers.

# Brief Summary: MLS I resulted in two National Academy Press publications: *Adding it Up: Helping Children Learn Mathematics* and its targeted version *Helping Children Learn Mathematic.* These publications meet the above goals.

# Purpose: Same as Goals above.

**[Accomplishments/Results]{.underline}**: A Mathematics Learning Study
Symposium was held September 14 and 15, 2002, to acquaint the assembled
audience of over 100 practitioners in mathematics education with these
research syntheses and how to use knowledge gained from them in their
work. This Symposium resulted in many practitioners sharing their new
knowledge in their local settings: a seminar at the Department of
Mathematics, Grand Valley State University, Michigan, a presentation to
the Massachusetts NCTM Affiliate Meeting with an article appearing in
their newsletter, a presentation to the Missouri State Teachers
Organization and to the Missouri Association of Elementary School
Principals, a presentation to Ohio School Board Association, and
presentations to Texas teachers and mathematics supervisors. There was
also a demand for over 8,000 additional copies of these publications.

# Plans for the next 12 months: An afternoon of round-table discussion on implementing the five-strand concept of mathematical proficiency, discussed in the two publications, will be held at the annual meeting of the State Supervisors of Mathematics in April. Further dissemination of the two publications will continue.

A Mathematics Learning Study II -- Grades 9-14 is in the planning
stages. This volume will synthesize research on the teaching and
learning of mathematics grades 9-12, with emphasis on the transitions
between high school and college, problems of remediation in mathematics
at the college level, and pathways to reenter mathematics at various
times in one's life.

After introduction three presentations were made on the following topics
:

1.  Can Dogrul : Update on IGSM2 release

This presentation provided an update on the new model and described how
the new model makes some of the more important computations. The problem
sets from the IGSM peer review were used to demonstrate radical
improvement in the stability and performance of the code. New features
that will be added to the model over the next 12 months were described.

2.  Jon Goetz : Groundwater Data Management System

A data management system that is underway for the Sacramento Groundwater
Authority under contract with MWH was described. This data management
system is a stand-alone executable in visual basic that is generalizable
to any groundwater basin. It contains data fields for information on
well locations, well construction, aquifer tests and lon-term
monitoring.

3.  Jon Goetz : Groundwater Data Management System

A second presentation was given by Jon on MIDSA (Model Integration and
Data Storage Application) -- an application specifically for IGSM2. The
presentation covered the unique open database structure of the new
interface, data file handling, change tracking and output graphics. This
development work is continuing in 2003 under contract with the US Bureau
of Reclamation.

Dear Ms. Crown,

I am writing to offer my support for metric only labeling. I believe
this

is a step forward in moving to a metric based system, and believe it
will

make commerce easier, more efficient and more standardized worldwide.

Anything you can do to further the conversion to metric in this country
I

support. As you know clinging to the English system of weights and
measures

costs us in international trade, manufacturing, and individually in the
never

ending confusion of dual labeling requirements, dual sets of tools for

machinists, etc., etc. I applaud your efforts for metric-only labeling
and

hope you the best of success in your efforts. If I can help you in any
way

with this program, please let me know.

Sincerely,

William. L. Wagner

**Inglis applauds Supreme Court decision upholding ban on partial-birth
abortions**

U.S. Rep. Bob Inglis applauded today's 5 to 4 decision by the U. S.
Supreme Court to uphold the federal ban on partial-birth abortions.

"Life is sacred and should be protected at all of its stages -- from
pre-born to old age irrespective of infirmity, 'usefulness' or
'wantedness,'" Inglis said. "A majority on the Supreme Court must have
come to the same conclusion reached by a majority of the Congress---that
partial birth abortion is too barbaric to be tolerated by a civilized
society."

In partial-birth abortion all but the late-term baby's head is
delivered, scissors are inserted into the skull, the contents of the
brain are suctioned out, and a whole dead baby is delivered. The
majority of the Supreme Court held that the law "need not give abortion
doctors unfettered choice in the course of their medical practice."

"Today's decision was a step in the right direction, and I applaud the
result," Inglis said.

# Buffet Table Tips for People with Diabetes

Barbecues, picnics and family reunions are gatherings to enjoy and
treasure. If you have diabetes, these events can pose special
challenges. How can you stick with your meal plan, yet join in the
celebration and have some fun? You can do it. If you choose wisely and
watch how much you eat, you can have a delicious meal and feel good too.
So, grab your plate and head for the buffet table.

Look for the high fiber, low-fat dishes. Great choices are beans, peas
and lentils, and dark green vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage,
spinach and kale. Go for the green bean, three-bean, black bean and
black-eyed pea dishes or pasta salads mixed with summer vegetables.
Choose whole grain foods such as brown rice, couscous, whole wheat bread
and pasta. Everyone benefits from eating these foods, not just people
with diabetes.

Watch out for dishes loaded with mayonnaise, sour cream and butter.
Choose veggies that are light on salad dressing, cheese or cream sauce.
If you can, make your own dressing with a little olive oil and vinegar.

Vegetables and grains should fill up most of your plate, but leave room
for some lean meat, poultry or fish. Be sure to choose grilled
chicken---and remove the skin\-- instead of the fried variety. If you're
going to make a sandwich, use whole wheat bread with mustard or salsa,
rather than mayonnaise.

What's for dessert? Summer means terrific fruits. It's hard to beat a
fresh peach, fruit salad, cantaloupe or watermelon. Fruit is an
excellent source of fiber, vitamins and minerals, and has zero fat.
Everyone, including people with diabetes, should eat three to four
servings of fruit a day. Pies, cakes and cookies are high in fat and
cholesterol. If you can't resist, have a small serving.

It's best to drink water, unsweetened tea or diet soda. Add a wedge of
lemon for flavor.

If you choose to drink alcoholic beverages, limit your intake to no more
than one drink a day for women, two for men, and drink only with a meal.

Eating the right foods to control your blood sugar means being prepared
and planning ahead. If you need help putting together a meal plan, ask
your doctor or nurse to refer you to a dietitian or diabetes educator.
For more information about controlling your diabetes, call the National
Diabetes Education Program at 1-800-438-5383 or visit the program's web
site at [http://ndep.nih.gov](http://ndep.nih.gov/) on the Internet.

**Illuminating aspects of magnetism in nanoparticles and core/shell
nanocomposites**

Michael Farle

### Universität Duisburg -- Essen, Gebäude ME, Lotharstrasse 1, 47048 Duisburg, Germany

Monodisperse magnetc nanoparticles consisting of almost any type of
material and composition can be synthesized by gasphase condensation or
organometallic synthesis in well controlled sizes ranging from 2 -- 15
nm. These "building blocks" offer new exciting possibilities to create
new artificial materials like ultra-hard ferromagnets, multifunctional
hollow magnetic microspheres or luminescent magnetic particles, some of
which will be presented in this talk..

The magnetism on the atomic scale and interface properties inside a
nanoparticle can be studied by combining superparamagnetic resonance and
different x-ray absorption spectroscopies. For CoO@Co core shell it is
shown that apparent unusual „giant" magnetic properties like 300 %
enhanced orbital moments in 10 nm Co particles find a simple explanation
by bulk-like solid state physics. In ligand and oxide free colloidal
Fe~x~Pt~1-x~ nanoparticles, on the other hand, we find enhanced orbital
magnetism at the Fe site and a reduced orbital magnetism at the Pt site
. This finding will be discussed in relation to the layerwise relaxation
of the crystal structure and the concentration gradient which has been
observed in a similar 6 nm FePt nanoparticle by sub-Angstrom resolved
transmission electron microscopy recently.
