BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan (Nov. 17, 2010) — Gen. James Mattis, the Commander of U.S. Central Command, made his first visit to Kyrgyzstan today. Gen. Mattis met with President Otunbayeva, Minister of Defense Abibilla Kudaiberdev, Chairman of the State Committee for National Security General-Lieutentant Keneshbek Dushebayev and other government ministers.

Before his meetings, Mattis took a walk around Bishkek to get a sense of the city and its people.

During his visits with the civilian and military leadership, the commander listened to Kyrgyz views and gained their perspectives on regional security issues. Mattis expressed his appreciation to Kyrgyzstan for its support of the Transit Center, as well as the key role Kyrgyzstan has played in the coalition effort in Afghanistan.The two sides discussed areas of mutual interest, such as training and the economic impact of US operations.

Mattis also toured the Transit Center, spent time with US troops, and discussed the military’s humanitarian assistance projects, such as the renovation of schools near Bishkek.

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 05-51534 Summary Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus GREGORY LEON PALMER, also known as Greg, Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas (USDC No. 7:05-CR-48-12)

_________________________________________________________ Before REAVLEY, WIENER and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: * Gregory Leon Palmer appeals his conviction and sentence arguing that the district court abused its discretion in allowing Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) Special Agent2

Will Kimbell to testify as to the meaning of code or slang words in recorded conversations. We affirm for the following reasons:
1. Palmer contends that Kimbell was not qualified as an expert because no foundation was laid as to his experience in interpreting drug code and Kimbell failed to explain the methodology he used in interpreting drug code. We disagree.Kimbell was the lead investigator in this case and had worked seven-and-ahalf years with the DEA, four as a task force agent on loan from his previous employer, a Florida police department, and three-and-a-half years as a special agent. At the time of trial, he had participated in over 100 drug investigations and had interpreted over 10,000 drug related conversations, approximately half of which involved cocaine base. Kimbell explained the methodology he used to decipher and interpret drug code. He testified that after he learned the subject’s normal speech patterns, he then looked for words that did not fit the context of the conversation (statements that did not make sense) and thereafter cross-referenced those words with what had occurred during the investigation. Thus, Kimbell testified as to his experience and methodology. We hold that the district court did not abuse its discretion in allowing Kimbell to testify as to the meaning of code or slang words in recorded conversations. See Burton v. United States , 237 F.3d 490, 499-500 (5th Cir. 2000) (approving of a narcotics investigators testimony as to the meaning of code or slang words in recorded conversations); United States v. Ceballos , 302 F.3d 679, 685-87 (7th Cir. 2002) (same).3

2. Even if the district court had abused its discretion in admitting Kimbell’s testimony, it would be harmless. There is overwhelming evidence of Palmer’s guilt in the record. 

### AFFIRMED.

( a ) After FRA has approved a railroad's dispatcher certification program, the railroad shall determine, prior to issuing any person a dispatcher certificate and in accordance with the requirements of this section, that the person has demonstrated sufficient knowledge of the railroad's rules and practices for the safe movement of trains.
( b ) In order to make the knowledge determination required by paragraph (a) of this section, a railroad shall have procedures for testing a person being evaluated for certification as a dispatcher that are: ( 1 ) Designed to examine a person's knowledge of the railroad's operating rules and practices for the safe movement of trains;
( 2 ) Objective in nature;
( 3 ) In written or electronic form;
( 4 ) Covering the following subjects: ( i ) Safety and operating rules;

( e ) Each railroad shall adopt and comply with a program meeting the requirements of this section. When any person (including, but not limited to, each railroad, railroad officer, supervisor, and employee) violates any requirement of a program which complies with the requirements of this section, that person shall be considered to have violated the requirements of this section.
§ 7.35 When and how is the twenty day time limit for rendering an initial determination tolled? The twenty Federal working day time period in which to render an initial determination will proceed without interruption except as provided in the following circumstances: ( a ) DOT may toll the initial twenty Federal working day time period one time for the purpose of seeking additional information needed to clarify the request. Examples of such instances include but are not limited to: ( 1 ) When clarification is needed with regard to the scope of a request; or
( 2 ) When the description of the record(s) being sought does not enable the component handling the request to identify or locate the record(s).
( b ) DOT may toll the initial twenty Federal working day time period as often as necessary to clarify fee issues with the requester. Examples of such instances include but are not limited to: ( 1 ) When the requester has not sufficiently identified the fee category applicable to the request;

Jan. 30: Military Airstrikes Continue Against ISIL in Syria and Iraq
 By CJTF - Operation Inherent Resolve News Release
  January 30, 2015 Release # 20150130FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE **SOUTHWEST ASIA -** On Jan. 29, U.S. and Coalition military forces continued to attack ISIL terrorists in Syria, using fighter aircraft to conduct two airstrikes. Separately, U.S. and Coalition military forces conducted four airstrikes in Iraq, using attack and fighter aircraft against ISIL terrorists. All strikes took place between 8 a.m., Jan. 29, and 8 a.m., Jan. 30, local time. The following is a summary of the strikes conducted since the last press release: **Syria***  Near Kobani, two airstrikes struck two ISIL staging positions and destroyed two ISIL fighting positions and one ISIL vehicle. **Iraq***  Near Al Asad, an airstrike struck an ISIL firing position.*  Near Tal Afar, three airstrikes struck two ISIL fighting positions and destroyed an ISIL building, an ISIL bunker and an ISIL shipping container. Airstrike assessments are based on initial reports. All aircraft returned to base safely. The strikes were conducted as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the operation to eliminate the ISIL terrorist group and the threat they pose to Iraq, Syria, the region, and the wider international community. The destruction of ISIL targets in Syria and Iraq further limits the terrorist group's ability to project terror and conduct operations. Coalition nations conducting airstrikes in Iraq include the U.S., Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Coalition nations conducting airstrikes in Syria include the U.S., Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.

U.S. Department of Labor 

200 Constitution Avenue, NW 

Washington, DC 20210 

To Whom It May Concern: 

On behalf of the Women’s Institute for a Secure Retirement (WISER), I am writing to request to 

testify at the “Lifetime Income Joint Hearing'' scheduled for September 14, 2010. In accordance 

with the notice: 

(1) WISER will be addressing the first three issues specified in the Department of Labor‘s Notice: 

· Certain Specific Participant Concerns Affecting the Choice of Lifetime Income 

Relative to Other Options

· Information to Help Participants Make Choices Regarding Management and Spend 

Down of Retirement Benefits 

· Disclosure of Account Balances as Monthly Income Streams 

(2) Brief outline for each issue to be addressed by WISER: 

Certain Specific Participant Concerns Affecting the Choice of Lifetime Income Relative to 

Other Options 

· Longevity risks have a disproportionate effect on women who will need more retirement 

income. 

· Discussion of why participants are hesitant to choose lifetime income options – complexity 

and fees and flexibility issues. 

· Recommendations on how these concerns may be addressed by policymakers and 

regulators. 

Information to Help Participants Make Choices Regarding Management and Spend Down of 

Retirement Benefits

· Women need the best information and tools to help them determine how much income they 

will need, where the money will come from and how to make it last. 

Women’s Institute for Secure Retirement 

1146 19th Street NW · Suite 700 · Washington, DC 20036 

(202) 393-5452 · www.wiserwomen.org 
· Many women are unaware of why they will have more challenges in retirement, and they 

need help to make sure they do not make financial mistakes as they are the ones who can 

least afford it. See WISER report, How Can Women’s Income Last as Long as They Do? 

June 2009. Available at: www.wiserwomen.org. 

· Recommendations on how to help participants make choices regarding spend down of 

retirement benefits and provide guidance for employers. 

Disclosure of Account Balances as Monthly Income Streams 

· As defined contribution plans are now the primary retirement plan for most participants, 

government and employers need to do a better job of helping participants understand how to 

use their account balances to support them during their retirement years. 

· Recommendations on how to overcome the challenges of showing benefits as a lifetime 

income stream—ways to prevent participants from dismissing the amounts as too small by 

including a projected balance at a future date. 

Thank you for allowing us to submit this request to testify. 

Sincerely, 

President

WRITTEN QUESTION E-0983/03

by Roberta Angelilli (UEN) to the Commission

(27 March 2003)

Subject:   Use of funds from the Culture 2000 programme by the municipality of Massa

In September 2002, the monitoring committee of the Italian Ministry for Economic Affairs issued a report on the spending of EU funds.

The report reveals the alarming slowness and inefficiency with which EU funds are allocated to projects by some regional authorities.

The grave concerns about the inadequate use of European funds by local authorities have frequently been echoed by the Commission.

Bearing in mind that some local authorities, such as the municipality of Massa, urgently need to use European funds to enhance the common cultural area in all its diversity and respecting all its traditions, nurturing creativity and professional mobility, and promoting access to and dissemination of art and culture,

can the Commission state:

----
