### Labor Department Sues Spain Electric to Recover Employee Contributions to Pension and Health Plans

**KANSAS CITY** -- The U.S. Department of Labor has sued Daniel P.
Spain, president of the now bankrupt West Des Moines-based Spain
Electric, Inc, and fiduciary of the company's pension and health plans.
The suit, filed Jan. 16, 2003, seeks to recover losses of \$34,642 in
contributions withheld from employees' wages that were not forwarded to
the plans.

Spain allegedly caused the pension plan to lose \$31,039 by failing to
segregate employees' 401(k) plan withholdings from monies in the
company's general operating fund from March 7 to June 20, 2001. In
addition, from Oct. 1, 2001 to February 2002, \$3,602 withheld from
paychecks as health plan deductions was not forwarded to pay insurance
premiums, causing the insurance company to cancel coverage.

"This action underscores the Department of Labor's commitment to protect
and secure the benefits promised to employees by their employers," said
Gregory Egan, Director of the department's Kansas City Regional Office
of the Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration (PWBA), which
investigated the case.

The company pension plan had 52 participants and assets totaling
\$384,355.07 as of Dec. 31, 2001. Employees of Ganoe Electric, which
Spain and his wife bought in 1997, also are covered by the plans.

The department is seeking to require Spain to restore all contributions
plus lost earnings to the plan and to bar him from serving as an
official to any plan governed by the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act (ERISA). The department also asked the court to appoint an
independent trustee to take over the plans and redistribute amounts set
off from the Spain's 401(k) account to other participants of the pension
plan.

Employers with similar problems, who are not yet the subject of an
investigation by PWBA, may be eligible to participate in the
department's Voluntary Fiduciary Correction Program (VFCP).
Participation in the VFCP requires employers to make workers whole, but
allows them to avoid PWBA enforcement actions and civil penalties, as
well as any applicable excise taxes. For more information about the VFCP
see [www.dol.gov/pwba](http://www.dol.gov/pwba) .

Employers and workers who have questions or concerns regarding their
private-sector pension and health plans can contact the PWBA regional
office for help at 1-816-426-5131 or PWBA's toll free number,
1-866-275-7922.

Cell Motility and Wound Healing

**MICHAEL R. BUBB, M.D.**\

Associate Professor,

Division of Rheumatology, Department of Medicine, University of Florida

The crawling behavior of cells is a critical feature of living
organisms. In humans, cell motility is required for normal wound
healing, for neurological development and for the ability to fight
infection. Cell motility also has an important role in many human
diseases. One of the most prominent of these is cancer, where motility
is a prerequisite for malignant cancer cells if they are to crawl into a
vascular or lymphatic space, from which they can then metastasize to
distant locations.

Our laboratory studies the cellular machinery responsible for cell
movement. We have identified and characterized several proteins that
function to regulate cell motility. Not surprisingly, many of these same
proteins function as tumor suppressors and promoters in humans. Our
laboratory also is interested in pharmacologic agents that modulate cell
motility. Through a network of collaborative effort, our laboratory has
developed a large repository of marine natural products that bind to and
affect proteins involved in cellular motility. We have characterized the
properties of many of these agents and have identified some that mimic
the behavior of the tumor suppressor proteins that regulate cell
motility. Although development of these agents is still at an early
stage, they have tremendous potential for the treatment of cancer. The
National Cancer Institute, for example, has identified one of our drugs
in a screen of potential chemotherapeutic agents to be the most potent
agent yet available for the control of prostate cancer cells growing in
culture.

RE: Provider Conscience Regulations

Department of Health and Human Services

45 CFR Part 88

RIN 0991-AB48

Ensuring that Department of Health and Humans Services Funds do not
Support Coercive or Discriminatory Policies or Practices in Violation of
Federal Law

Agency: Office of the Secretary

As a concerned citizen, I am writing in support of strengthening
Provider Conscience Regulations which would ensure that Department funds
do not support morally coercive or discriminatory practices or policies
in violation of federal law. Health care providers and other care givers
must not be put under duress to provide services that are in direct
opposition to their personal convictions, whether their convictions are
either religiously motivated or through personal moral convictions,
particularly in regard to providing abortion services and or being
coerced to perform abortions while training to become a health care
provider, or other violations of their consciences. Health care
providers shouldn't have to check their conscience at the hospital door
or during their training to become health care providers.

Because an ethics opinion put forth several months ago by the American
College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists appeared to disregard laws
protecting health care providers from discriminatory or coercive
policies. Subsequent action by the American Board of Obstetrics and
Gynecology, which appeared to adopt the opinion, had the potential to
force physicians to either violate their conscience by referring
patients for abortions (or taking other objectionable actions) or risk
losing their board certification. This case and others illustrate the
need for the proposed rule to increase awareness of, and compliance with
statutes protecting provider conscience rights. In order to ensure that
recipients of Department funds know about their legal obligations under
the nondiscrimination provisions, please require written certification
by certain recipients that they comply with all nondiscriminatory
statutes, and in the case there are violations of these
nondiscriminatory statutes, that substantive and punctual punitive and
or remedial damages should follow so that those that think to violate
these provisions choose to respect the convictions of those health care
providers that either for religious or moral reasons choose not to
perform or to refer patients to morally repugnant services. Health care
providers and others care givers must be able to provide care without
compromising their convictions.

Respectfully,

**Anti-inflammatory and Antiatherosclerotic Properties of Oats
Avenanthramides**

Mohsen Meydani, DVM, PhD

Vascular Biology Laboratory, Jean Mayer USDA- Human Nutrition Research
Center on Aging at Tufts University, Boston MA 02111 E-mail:
mohsen.meydani@tufts.edu

It is well established that dietary factors play significant etiologic
roles in the development of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular
disease (CVD) and cancer. Studies have clearly shown that the
consumption of soluble fiber of oats lowers total plasma and LDL
cholesterol and reduces the risk of CVD. -Glucan is the active
ingredient that reduces cholesterol levels. In addition, oat consumption
has recently been shown to improve endothelial function and reduce blood
pressure. Although the mechanism of these effects is not known, we have
plausible experimental evidence that these effects are mediated through
increasing production of NO by the vessel wall. In addition, oats
contain unique polyphenols, avenanthramides (Avns) with antioxidant
activity, which are not present in other cereal grains. Administration
of Avns in rats increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in
skeletal muscle, liver and kidneys, and glutathione peroxidase in heart
and skeletal muscles attenuated exercise-induced production of reactive
oxygen species. Avns are bioavailable in humans and inhibit LDL
oxidation synergistically with vitamin C. These compounds may also
interact with cellular components of the vascular system not only
through their antioxidant activity but also by interactions with
molecular and signaling pathways regulated by redox sensitive signal
transduction that govern cellular responses during the inflammation of
arterial walls and lesion development. In this regard, we have examined
the potential health benefit of an Avns-enriched extract of oats in the
prevention of atherosclerosis. These unique oat polyphenols inhibit
expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-Selectin) and
monocyte adhesion to human aortic endothelial cell monolayer. Further,
they reduce the production of several inflammatory cytokines and
chemokines including IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1. We now have evidence that the
above-observed effects of Avns are mediated through inhibition of
nuclear transcription factor kappa-B (NF-B), which is known to regulate
expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and adhesion molecules. Avns of
oats also regulate molecules involved in cell cycle signaling cascades
at both transcriptional and translational levels. Further, our data
revealed that Avns inhibit VSMC proliferation and increase eNOS
expression and production of NO by both endothelial cells and VSMC. In
addition, our cell culture studies indicate that the Avns of oats may
prevent colonic tumorigenesis through their anti-inflammatory and
anti-proliferative activities. Taken together, these data strongly
support the potential health benefits of oat consumption in the
prevention of chronic disease beyond the benefits from their soluble
fiber content. Supported by USDA agreement \# 58-1950-7-707

**NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION**

Case Number: EB-08-NY-022

Document Number: W20083238024

The New York Office received information that an unlicensed broadcast
radio station on 90.9 MHz was allegedly operating in Brooklyn, NY. On
January 26, 2008, an agent from this office confirmed by direction
finding techniques that radio signals on frequency 90.9 MHz were
emanating from 1431 Flatbush Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11210. The
Commission's records show that no license was issued for operation of a
broadcast station on 90.9 MHz at this location in Brooklyn, NY.

Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301.
The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode of operation
that complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§  15.1 *et seq*. The field strength of
the signal on frequency 90.9 MHz was measured at 3,885 microvolts per
meter (µV/m) at 482 meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted level
of 250 µV/m at 3 meters for non-licensed devices. Thus, this station is
operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301.

You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of
the Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator to severe
penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines,
*in rem* arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and
criminal sanctions including imprisonment. (*see* 47 U.S.C. §§ 401, 501,
503 and 510).

**UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED
IMMEDIATELY**.

You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. Your
response should be sent to the address in the letterhead and reference
the listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission's staff
will use all relevant material information before it to determine what,
if any, enforcement action is required to ensure your compliance with
FCC Rules. This will include any information that you disclose in your
reply.

You may contact this office if you have any questions.

Excerpts from the Communications Act of 1934, As Amended

Enforcement Bureau, \"Inspection Fact Sheet\", July 2003
Stations we have Tammy Doherty, Last Name Spelled D O H E R T Y.

Ms. Doherty is the Acting Regional Director for FEMA Region X.

Ms. Doherty has one track for us today alerting us the dangers of
wildfires and the efforts homeowners can take to prevent or minimize
their damage. The track runs 1:15 seconds and the out cue is "...keep
fire extinguishers handy".

Below average snow packs, unseasonably low precipitation and warm dry
weather has raised wildfire risks throughout the Pacific Northwest. You
can't prevent natural disasters but you can and you must take steps
ahead of time to reduce the loss of life and property and speed the
recovery process. To protect homes from wildfire threats, you need to
create defensible perimeters by clearing brush and flammable debris well
away from the structures themselves. You need to establish firebreaks
around the perimeter of your property, power poles, and out buildings by
cutting down flammable weeds and brush. A good rule of thumb to use
would be that the firebreak should be ten feet wide or three times the
height of the tallest vegetation. Also review your homeowner's insurance
policy for adequacy of fire coverage. Stack firewood away from you home.
Store combustible materials in approved containers and keep them away
from the house. Keep roofs chimneys and gutters clean, use fire
resistant materials when building renovating or retrofitting structures;
and install smoke detectors on every floor and near sleeping areas; and
keep fire extinguishers handy.

Application of Mo isotopes as a paleoredox indicator assumes that the
mechanism of isotope fractionation is constant and that the magnitude of
fractionation is relatively insensitive to variables other than redox
conditions, such as temperature, pH, or sediment composition. To begin
testing these assumptions, we have extended the experimental work of
Barling & Anbar (2004, *EPSL* 217:315) on Mo isotope fractionation
during adsorption to Mn-oxyhydroxides to a range of temperatures, from
0-25°C.

In the experiments, Mo in solution adsorbs to synthetic Mn-oxyhydroxide
particles for varying amounts of time while held at constant
temperature. Solutions and mineral particles are separated by
filtration, purified by ion exchange, and analyzed by MC-ICP-MS.

Thus far our results confirm the earlier result (Barling & Anbar 2004)
that Mo adsorbed to Mn-oxyhydroxide particles is lighter than coexisting
solution by \~1.8‰ (delta 97/95). We find no significant variations in
fractionation over the range of temperatures studied. This contrasts
with the theoretical prediction of Tossell (2005, *GCA* 69:2981). Based
on quantum calculations of differences in free energies of isotopomers
of Mo species as a function of temperature, Tossell predicts slight
fractionation between MoO~4~^2-^ and MoO~3~ (0.25‰ at 0°C) that
decreases by a factor of two from 0°C to 25°C. This disagreement implies
that further investigation is required to determine which Mo species are
involved in fractionation and what mechanism is responsible for the
large isotope effect observed in our experiments and in natural samples.

**USDA RURAL DEVELOPMENT PRESENTS \$250,000**

**TO THE VILLAGE OF ELLISBURG**

ELLISBURG, N.Y., October 2, 2008 -- U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural
Development State Director Patrick H. Brennan today presented a
ceremonial check for \$250,000 to the Village of Ellisburg.

The funding was provided through USDA Rural Development's Water and
Environmental Program and will used to complete the Village's water
distribution system. The funds will be distributed as an \$182,000 grant
and \$68,000 loan. The loan terms are 30 years at 2.75 percent interest.
This funding package raises USDA Rural Development's total investment in
Ellisburg's water system to \$977,000. Rural Development provided
\$727,000 for the project in 2007.

"Helping small rural communities improve their water infrastructure is
one of our primary missions at USDA Rural Development," said State
Director Brennan. "This latest round of funding will enable the Village
to complete it water distribution system and improve services for its
residents."

USDA Rural Development's mission is to increase economic opportunity and
improve the quality of life for rural residents. In fiscal year 2007,
USDA Rural Development invested more than \$262 million in New York,
raising its total investment in the state to more than \$1.5 billion
since 2001. Further information on rural programs is available by
contacting the State Office at (315) 477-6400 or by visiting USDA\'s web
site at <http://www.rurdev.usda.gov/ny>.

# **Enhanced Security for Independence Day Celebration**

# **at Mount Rushmore National Memorial**

# 

Enhanced security measures will be put in place at Mount Rushmore
National Memorial to ensure visitors have a safe and enjoyable visit
during next week's Independence Day Celebration.

Tens of thousands are expected to visit the "Shrine of Democracy" to
celebrate the nation's 227^th^ birthday. Local, state and federal
agencies are working together to implement increased security measures
for next week's celebration.

The park will close at 12:01 a.m. on July third. When it reopens at 7:00
a.m., enhanced security measures will be in place. Visitors should plan
to arrive early, expect delays, and be patient when approaching,
entering, or leaving the Memorial.

All vehicles will be screened prior to entering the Memorial parking
facilities. Visitors will also have to pass through a magnetometer and
have their bags and containers searched before entering the Memorial.

New this year is a change in parking outside the Memorial. Parking on
Highway 244 will be restricted to the downhill side of the road.
Carpooling is encouraged to reduce traffic delays.

More information on the Independence Day Celebration is available on the
park web site at www.nps.gov/moru or by calling 605-574-2523.

Assisting staff from Mount Rushmore National Memorial with additional
security, fire and emergency services for the celebration are National
Park Service rangers from across the country and representatives of the
South Dakota Highway Patrol, Pennington County Sheriff's Department, the
Rapid City Police Department, the United States Air Force, the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms,
the South Dakota Army National Guard, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, the U.S. Forest Service, and Peace Keepers Private Security
Company.

November 4, 2004

The Honorable John T. Conway

Chairman

Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board

625 Indiana Avenue, NW, Suite 700

Washington, D.C. 20004

Dear Mr. Chairman:

This letter describes the status and schedule for completing Commitment
4.4 in the Department of Energy's (DOE) Implementation Plan (IP) for the
Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board's Recommendation 2002-3,
*Requirements for Design, Implementation and Maintenance of
Administrative Controls*.

The 2002-3 IP describes actions the Department will take to assure that
administrative controls selected to provide for the safe operation of
defense nuclear facilities are properly developed, appropriately
implemented, and effectively maintained. Commitment 4.4 of the IP is to
provide initial training for relevant DOE and contractor organizations
based on the new DOE technical standard, DOE-STD-1186-2004, *Specific
Administrative Controls*, and to ensure that the training is captured in
appropriate contractor and DOE training plans. The original projected
completion date was October 29, 2004. Due to the extended period of time
needed to successfully address and resolve comments on DOE-STD-1186-2004
and develop appropriate training materials based on the final standard,
a new due date of May 31, 2005, is appropriate.

The initial training session on DOE-STD-1186-2004 occurred on October
21, 2004, at the Energy Training Complex in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Approximately 60 DOE and contractor nuclear safety professionals
attended. Feedback from the training will be incorporated into the
training course materials. These materials will then be provided to DOE
sites and incorporated into training plans, which will complete
Commitment 4.4.

If you have questions, please contact Mr. John S. Shaw, Acting Assistant
Secretary for Environment, Safety and Health, at (202) 586-6151 or have
your staff contact Mr. Richard Black of his staff at (301) 903-0104.

Sincerely,

***Spencer Abraham***
