Commission Launches Modernization Of Media Regulation Initiative.
The FCC has initiated a review of its rules applicable to media entities, including television and radio broadcasters, cable operators, and satellite television providers. The objective of this proceeding is to eliminate or modify regulations that are outdated, unnecessary or unduly burdensome. By initiating this review, the Commission takes another step to advance the public interest by reducing unnecessary regulations and undue regulatory burdens that can stand in the way of competition and innovation in media markets.

FCC Proposes To Eliminate Main Studio Rule. Action Would Reduce Regulatory Burdens And Costs For Broadcasters.
The Federal Communications Commission is proposing to eliminate the main studio rule, which requires each AM, FM, and television broadcast station to have a main studio located in or near its local community. The FCC also proposes to eliminate the requirement that the main studio have full-time management and staff present during normal business hours, and the requirement that it be able to originate programming. The main studio rule, which the FCC first adopted more than 70 years ago, was originally implemented on the premise that local access to the main studio facilitated input from community members and the station's participation in community activities.

FCC Reinstates Pre-August 2016 Status Quo In Broadcaster Marketplace
The Federal Communications Commission voted to reinstate the so-called "UHF discount " until the Commission can address its national television ownership rule more holistically, in a proceeding to be launched later this year . The action effectively returns the marketplace to the status quo that existed prior to August 2016, whereby stations broadcasting in the UHF spectrum are permitted to count 50 percent of the television households in their market when determining compliance with the 39 percent national cap. In August 2016, the Commission eliminated on a party-line vote the UHF discount . The Order finds that this action had the effect of substantially tightening the national cap for companies without any analysis of whether this tightening was warranted given current marketplace conditions. The FCC now concludes that the UHF discount and national television ownership cap are inextricably linked and that the Commission's previous decision erred by getting rid of the UHF discount without simultaneously considering whether the cap itself should be modified. The Commission plans to take up both the question of the 39 percent cap and the UHF discount later this year . Until then, the action reinstates the pre-August 2016 status quo in the marketplace.
April 24, 2017
Amendment Of Section 73.3555(e) Of The Commission's Rules, National Television Multiple Ownership Rule.
The UHF discount allows commercial broadcast television station owners to discount the audience reach of UHF stations when calculating their compliance with the national television ownership rule. It is thus inextricably linked to the national ownership cap. When the Commission voted to get rid of the discount, however, it failed to consider whether this defacto tightening of the national cap was in the public interest and justified by current marketplace conditions. This mistake renders the past action arbitrary and capricious. It also means that it was unwise from a public policy perspective. Thus the commission is reinstating the UHF discount for the time being and will launch a comprehensive rule making proceeding later this year to determine whether to retain it and/or modify the national cap. Because they are reinstating the UHF discount, requests to reconsider and modify the grandfathering provisions applicable to broadcast station combinations affected by elimination of the discount are dismissed as moot. For the same reason, the claim that failure to consider the need for a VHF discount in conjunction with elimination of the UHF discount is in error is also dismissed as moot.

FCC Announces Results Of World's First Broadcast Incentive Auction
Today, the Federal Communications Commission announced the closing of the broadcast incentive auction, which created a first-of-its kind market for repurposing valuable broadcast airwaves for nationwide wireless mobile use. At $19.8 billion in gross revenue for 70MHz of spectrum, the incentive auction is among the highest grossing auctions ever conducted by the FCC. The Commission now commences a 39-month transition period to move broadcast stations to new channel assignments. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said, "The conclusion of the world's first incentive auction is a major milestone in the FCC's long history as steward of the nation's airwaves. Consumers are the real beneficiaries, as broadcasters invest new resources in programming and service, and additional wireless spectrum opens the way to greater competition and innovation in the mobile broadband marketplace."

Procedures For Submitting Financial Information Required For The Disbursement Of Incentive Payments After The Incentive Auction Closes.
This Public Notice provides instructions to full power and Class A broadcasters and multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs) who anticipate receiving incentive and/or reimbursement payment(s) following the incentive auction (collectively, Payment Applicants). These instructions describe essential steps that Payment Applicants must take before receiving incentive payments based on winning reverse auction bids or payments from the Television Broadcaster Relocation Fund (the Fund) for expenses eligible for reimbursement. This Public Notice describes and explains FCC Forms 1875 and 1876, the forms that Payment Applicants must use to provide the Commission with directions for making payments. These forms enable Payment Applicants to certify their agreement with and acknowledgement of required payment terms, to identify the individual(s) authorized to give the Commission instructions regarding payments, and to identify the financial institution and account into which payments should be made.

Channel Sharing By Stations Outside The Broadcast Television Spectrum Incentive Auction Context.
In implementing Congress's mandate to conduct a broadcast television spectrum incentive auction, the FCC previously established rules to allow full power and Class A stations that relinquish licensed spectrum usage rights in the reverse auction to share a channel with another station. These rules, however, confine channel sharing to auction-related agreements. The FCC also authorized channel sharing between low power television (LPTV) and television translator stations (collectively, "secondary stations") to help mitigate the auction's potential to displace secondary stations. The FCC adopted rules to allow full power and Class A stations with auction-related channel sharing agreements (CSAs) to become sharees outside of the auction context so that they can continue to operate if their auction-related CSAs expire or otherwise terminate. They also adopted rules to allow all secondary stations to share a channel with another secondary station or with a full power or Class A station. This action will assist secondary stations that are displaced by the incentive auction and the repacking process to continue to operate in the post-auction television bands. The rules adopted will enhance the benefits of channel sharing for broadcasters without imposing significant burdens on multichannel video programming distributors (MVPDs).
March 24, 2017
FCC Expands Channel Sharing Opportunities For Broadcasters
The Federal Communications Commission today adopted a Report and Order that expands broadcast stations' ability to share a single TV channel so viewers can continue to receive their broadcast programming. The ability to channel-share is an important component of the FCC's incentive auction, mandated by Congress in 2012, which provides a voluntary opportunity for full power and Class A broadcast stations to relinquish their spectrum and share a channel with another full power or Class A broadcaster in exchange for a part of the proceeds from a related mobile wireless auction. Separately, the Commission in 2015 extended channel sharing to low power television (LPTV) and TV translator stations to help stations displaced by the incentive auction stay on the air. Today's Order permits television broadcast stations with an auction-related channel sharing agreement (CSA) to continue channel sharing by entering into a new CSA in the event that their existing agreement ends. This enables stations to continue providing service to their viewers . The new rules also permit Class A stations to channel share outside of the auction context . Additionally, all LPTV and TV translator stations are now able to share a channel with a full power or Class A station. This flexibility gives LPTV and TV translator stations that are displaced by the auction repacking process more options for continuing to operate. It also may reduce construction and operating costs for LPTV and TV translator stations, many of which have limited resources, are minority-owned, or provide programming to underserved audiences.

The FCC proposes to authorize television broadcasters to use the "Next Generation" broadcast television (Next Gen TV) transmission standard associated with recent work of the Advanced Television Systems Committee ("ATSC 3.0")
The FCC proposes to authorize television broadcasters to use the "Next Generation" broadcast television (Next Gen TV) transmission standard associated with recent work of the Advanced Television Systems Committee ("ATSC 3.0") on a voluntary, market -driven basis, while they continue to deliver current -generation digital television (DTV) broadcast service, using the "ATSC 1.0 standard," to their viewers. ATSC 3.0 is being developed by broadcasters with the intent of merging the capabilities of over-the-air (OTA) broadcasting with the broadband viewing and information delivery methods of the Internet, using the same 6 MHz channels presently allocated for DTV. According to a coalition of broadcast and consumer electronics industry representatives that has petitioned the Commission to authorize the use of ATSC 3.0, this new standard has the potential to greatly improve broadcast signal reception, particularly on mobile devices and television receivers without outdoor antennas, and it will enable broadcasters to offer enhanced and innovative new features to consumers, including Ultra High Definition (UHD) picture and immersive audio, more localized programming content, an advanced emergency alert system (EAS) capable of waking up sleeping devices to warn consumers of imminent emergencies, better accessibility options, and interactive services. With today's action, the FCC aims to facilitate private sector innovation and promote American leadership in the global broadcast industry.

Post-Incentive Auction Broadcast Transition Procedures
The Media Bureau, addresses the transition of full power and Class A television stations to post-auction channel assignments in the reorganized television bands following the conclusion of the broadcast television spectrum incentive auction. In order to provide guidance to broadcasters assigned to new channels, we summarize and clarify the process established in the Incentive Auction R&O and further developed in subsequent decisions.
This Public Notice provides detailed information, instructions, and projected deadlines for filing applications related to the post-incentive auction broadcast transition. It includes details about the requirement that all stations assigned a new channel as a result of the incentive auction submit an application for construction permit for their post-auction channel, as well as the procedures by which winning reverse auction bidders must relinquish their spectrum usage rights. It also sets forth the process by which eligible television stations can seek reimbursement of certain costs incurred in relocating to new channels and Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (MVPDs) for certain costs incurred in order to continue to carry the signals of relocating television stations. Additionally, this Public Notice includes an Appendix with instructions for filing in the Commission's Licensing and Management System (LMS) the applications required to effectuate this transition.
January 27, 2017
Post-Incentive Auction Transition Scheduling Plan
The Media Bureau adopts a methodology to establish construction deadlines for full power and Class A television stations that are transitioning to new channels following the incentive auction. The Media Bureau established transition deadlines within the 39-month post-auction transition period. In consultation with the Incentive Auction Task Force, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and the Office of Engineering and Technology, the Media Bureau proposed a methodology for establishing deadlines within a "phased" transition schedule in the Transition Scheduling Proposal Public Notice.
The FCC proposed methodology is detailed in Appendix A (beginning on page 37.) This methodology will be used after final channel reassignments are known in order to establish an orderly schedule that will allow stations, manufacturers, and other vendors and consultants, to coordinate broadcasters' post-auction channel changes.

Displays in the Workplace of Graphic Material Depicting Demeaning Images of Women
(Adopted by Council on April 17, 1988)
The Council of The American Physical Society has long been concerned with the serious under-representation of women and minorities in the profession of physics and, over the years, has established a number of programs that attempt to counter this trend. The Council now urges each member of the Society to help in this effort by being sensitive to all matters that affect the atmosphere of the physics workplace.
In particular, actions that create a hostile, intimidating, or offensive work environment for any group undermine the affirmative action efforts of the Society and should be eliminated. These actions include the public posting of materials that are insulting, derogatory, or exclusionary to a particular group.
We call upon all members of the Society to help ensure that persons of every race, gender, and ethnic origin may feel a welcome part of the physics community.

Luna Stage's Jazz Series Features Brazilian Trumpeter Claudio Roditi, 12/9
Luna Stage presents the second installment of its 2012-2013 jazz series, "Music In The Moonlight: An Intimate Evening of Jazz", on Sunday, December 9th at 7pm with a one-night only concert by Brazilian trumpeter, Claudio Roditi. Mr. Roditi will be accompanied by guitarists Roni Ben-Hur and Paul Meyers in a performance of Jazz Turns Samba at Luna Stage, 555 Valley Road in West Orange, NJ 07052.
Tickets are on sale now ($18 in advance, $20 at the door) and can be purchased in person, over the phone at 973-395-5551, or on the Luna Stage website: www.lunastage.org. The concert is part of a six-concert series. Three-concert subscriptions can be purchased for $45. Other artists scheduled to appear in the series include pianist Daniela Schachter, saxophonist/flutist Don Braden, and drummer Greg Bufford.
With over twenty critically acclaimed releases to his credit, South Orange-based trumpeter Claudio Roditi is truly an artist on the move with his music. Born in 1946 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Claudio began his music studies when very young. His passion for the trumpet and jazz drew him to the United States in 1970 to study at Berklee in Boston, and then on to New York City to play professionally. Integrating post-bop elements and Brazilian rhythmic concepts into his palette with ease, Claudio plays with power and lyricism. He leads his own band and tours worldwide with several leading jazz groups. Claudio also teaches throughout the U.S. and Europe. His CD Brazilliance x 4 was nominated for a Grammy in 2009 in the "best Latin jazz" category.
A pioneer for what has become an important wave of top jazz talent coming out of Israel, Roni Ben-Hur migrated to New York in 1985, at the age of 22, and was quickly embraced by Manhattan's jazz elite. Ben-Hur's Signature Sound infuses jazz with melodies and rhythms from many cultures; "his sound synthesizes the swing of Kenny Burrell and the melodic invention of West Montgomery", says Nick Bewsey from Prime Time A&E. Ben-Hur regularly performs in major festivals and clubs around the world, and along with being a prodigious player, composer, arranger, and bandleader, he has truly dedicated himself to eductaing others about the joys and rewards of playing jazz.
Paul Meyers has gained a reputation for being one of the top jazz guitarists of our time; James Gavin of the NY Times calls him "one of the most eloquent jazz guitarists since Kenny Burrell". With an original technique on the classical guitar, he has combined a deep understanding of the jazz tradition with strong influences of Brazilian, Latin, and classical music to create a truly unique sound and concept. Paul has performed and recorded with an ever growing list of jazz greats, and has a number of critically acclaimed CDs.
Jazz Turns Samba is sponsored by Lawrence Kantor Inc., Wholesale Distributors of Plumbing, Heating and Industrial Supplies, based in Orange and serving the Northern New Jersey area for over 50 years. www.kantorsupply.com

LITTLETON won the Bank Holiday Monday derby 2-0 at Pershore Town through a Jamie Insall brace.
The hosts were missing numerous players through injury and unavailability in the St Mary's Hospice Midland Combination Premier Division clash.
It showed as the 11th-placed visitors proved worthy winners with Insall tapping in Kyonn Evans' cross-shot from close range on 22 minutes.
His second eight minutes before half-time was a volley inside the box as Littleton enjoyed the better chances.
Third-from-bottom Pershore's best efforts came during a goalmouth scramble, while Richard Congrave went close with a shot and Steve Webb from a free-kick.
Both Vale sides lost at the weekend with Littleton going down 2-1 at home to Racing Club Warwick in a typical end-of-season game.
The hosts enjoyed the better of the first-half and Warwick improved in the second but the game hinged on two penalty appeals.
Littleton went ahead on 10 minutes through Evans after he raced clear onto Will Gayton's through-ball.
Alex Baird's volley was hacked clear and a fierce Simon Fitter free-kick resulted in a clear Warwick handball but no penalty was awarded.
Littleton hit the bar early in the second period through Adam Guest following another Fitter free-kick.
But the visitors won a penalty on 70 minutes for a harsh handball and it was duly converted by Jonathan Harkin.
Littleton then lost their way and Harkin scored again five minutes from time to win a bad-tempered clash.
They wrap up their league programme on Saturday at Pilkington XXX (3pm) and play in the Worcestershire FA Senior Urn final next Tuesday against Lye Town at Kidderminster Harriers (7.45pm).
Meanwhile, Pershore lost 3-1 at Alvis Sporting Club in the league last weekend despite taking a first-half lead through Mark Owen.
The hosts replied with three goals in a 15-minute second-period spell.

I also have a Ken Dilger signed football and a Jason Belser framed and signed jersey.
None of this stuff is officially "for sale" but I'd be interested in looking at prices ya'll would offer. And everything has a COA of course.
I also have a ton of basketball cards, some which are pretty valuable I think, that I'm considering listing on here for sale in a couple of months. This would be a massive undertaking so I want to know if there is any interest from any collectors in here interested before I do so.

Dunning weathers missed DP to get save
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Giants spent Tuesday morning working extra on converting double plays. They proceeded to demonstrate why they needed practice.
San Francisco courted trouble in the ninth inning of their 3-2 exhibition victory over Colorado when first baseman Angel Villalona couldn't hold on to second baseman Nick Noonan's low throw that could have resulted in a game-ending double play.
But reliever Jake Dunning coaxed Cristhian Adames' harmless grounder to first to strand runners on the corners. Manager Bruce Bochy credited Dunning for weathering adversity.
"You try to look at positives, I guess, when you don't turn a double play," Bochy said. "The pitcher has to get some experience getting out of a jam with the game on the line."

Indonesian minister brings mixed news for Corby
The Indonesian Justice Minister met and shook hands with Schapelle Corby on Thursday before pronouncing her hope to be released on parole still confronted "difficulties".
But minister Amir Syamsuddin, who met the Australian prisoner as well as Bali Nine members in a surprise visit to Bali's Kerobokan prison, softened the blow by saying that, while tough issues remained, some were "technical" in nature.
The mixed comments have reportedly been greeted as "positive news" by Corby's sister Mercedes.
Mr Amir said that to get parole Corby needed "someone to provide her with work, to earn a living . . . It's a technical matter that we all need to think together to work out".
Mercedes and her husband Wayan Widyartha have guaranteed Corby's wellbeing if she is released, but she may face difficulties keeping a job given the psychiatric illness she has suffered in prison. This was cited by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono when granting her clemency and a five-year sentence reduction last year.
Mr Amir said: "I am not closing the opportunity, but it's something we need to evaluate. We can't just go with it, because we do face difficulties."
The Australian government hurdled one of the barriers to her being granted parole when Foreign Affairs Minister Bob Carr agreed two weeks ago to guarantee Corby's good behaviour until 2017.
But Mr Amir said Indonesia would still "need to evaluate if it's enough with just that".
He said the Australian government had so far had "no special discussions" about Corby's case or about Mr Carr's guarantee.
The other hurdle for Corby, as for all drug smugglers in Indonesia, is a new requirement that they become "justice collaborators" and admit guilt and remorse before they are eligible for parole or annual sentence reductions for good behaviour.
Even the Indonesian government seems confused about what this might mean in practice for the hundreds of thousands of prisoners.
"Per my understanding of justice collaborator, it's a statement about one's willingness to co-operate with law enforcement to reveal cases known to the person," Mr Amir said. "It's very simple."
Both he and his deputy, Denny Indrayana, say it's clear prisoners should show willingness to inform on any case, not just their own. If it simply requires a letter expressing this willingness, it is unlikely to hinder Corby's application for parole.
But she would also be required to express guilt and remorse for a crime she has never admitted to committing.
Mr Amir acknowledged that the country's immigration department, still does not know which visa Corby should be required to live under.
"There's a lot of matters that I think are quite difficult for a foreigner to fulfil," Mr Amir said.
Until this is sorted out, the Corby family's lawyer is unwilling even to lodge the parole application.
The comments are the most comprehensive by Mr Amir on the new laws. He has evaded detailed comment since they were enacted in November, saying only that they are "sensitive" matters.
Mr Amir also met members of the Bali Nine on the visit, and commended the workshops they have helped set up, including an art studio, the silver and screening workshops and the computer room.
"I will suggest to the provincial chief to file patents on their works," Mr Amir said.
"There's a lot of potential . . . to work with overseas partners to market the products made by the prisoners."

Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame to Induct Long-Time TPWD Employee
ATHENS—David L. Campbell, a 45-year employee of Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Inland Fisheries Division, will be inducted into the Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame at a banquet June 4 in Athens.
Campbell is currently the manager of the Toyota ShareLunker program, an angler recognition and selective breeding program designed to increase the size and frequency of trophy (13-pound or bigger) largemouth bass catches in Texas.
The ShareLunker program is TPWD's most highly visible program, gaining more media coverage annually than all other TPWD programs combined. Campbell picked up the first fish entered into the program in 1986 (from Lake Fork) and most of the more than 500 fish entered since. He has contributed a great deal to the knowledge of how best to care for big fish and has communicated this information to the public through countless interviews with newspapers, magazines, radio and television. Coming as it did at the same time catch-and-release of big bass became the norm, the impact of proper fish handling on the conservation of trophy bass can hardly be overestimated.
Campbell started working for TPWD in 1965 as an assistant at the Lewisville State Fish Hatchery and worked his way up to hatchery manager at the Tyler Fish Hatchery and later the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center. He has raised and stocked millions of fish in Texas waters including black bass, channel catfish, blue catfish, crappie, striped bass, hybrid striped bass, northern pike, walleye, peacock bass and several sunfish and forage species.
Under the direction of former TPWD Fisheries Director Bob Kemp, a former inductee into the Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame, Campbell went to Florida in 1973 to collect Florida largemouth bass for experimental breeding and growth evaluation in Texas. Trials in private waters showed that Florida bass did well in Texas. TPWD began breeding and stocking pure Florida bass into public waters. By the early 1980s those efforts began to pay off. The 13.5-pound state record that had existed since 1943 was broken four times in six years.
The stocking of Florida largemouth bass into Texas public reservoirs elevated trophy fishing in Texas and earned Campbell the nickname "Godfather of Big Bass." Despite all the media attention he received, Campbell never forgot he was part of a larger team. "I realize that many, many other people have helped me with the program through the years, from fisheries researchers to other hatcheries," he said. "This could not have happened without them. I am fortunate to be the person on the front end who picks up the fish and gets to see the angler become an ambassador for Texas Parks and Wildlife Department."
In November 1986, Mark Stevenson caught ShareLunker Number 1, a 17.67-pound bass out of Lake Fork that shattered all previous records, garnered nationwide media coverage and changed fishing in Texas forever. Stevenson named the fish Ethel, and she became a legend among bass anglers.
"More than 10,000 people came to the old Tyler Fish Hatchery to see that fish," Campbell said. "They asked questions about us stocking Florida bass in Texas and talked about their desire to help Texas Parks and Wildlife Department with the program. It's sometimes difficult to get the public to support something a state agency does, but anglers gave their support right up front."
Campbell spent every night for a month trying to get Ethel to eat. The importance of the success of that effort is enormous. In part because that fish lived, a series of events took place that had a national impact on bass fishing and a huge impact on the Texas economy. Public support for bass fishing led to funding of significant improvements to the TPWD hatchery system, including construction of a state-of-the-art hatchery, ShareLunker care and breeding facility and visitor center—the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC). The plans for TFFC included a Texas Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame from the beginning.
Ethel proved to be a fish that changed the world in many significant ways. After Campbell nursed her back to health, she was put on display at what was then the only Bass Pro Shops store in the world, in Springfield, Missouri, where she pulled millions of visitors into the store. There are now more than 60 present and planned Bass Pro Shops. Founder Johnny Morris credited Ethel with much of the success of the business, saying that she was the best thing that ever happened to Bass Pro in terms of getting people into the store.
In recognition of the contribution Ethel made to his business, Morris donated $650,000 for the construction of the Richard M. Hart and Johnny Morris Conservation Center at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, where the Hall of Fame banquet will be held. Bass Pro Shops donates millions of dollars annually to conservation projects nationwide, adding to Ethel's legacy.
Campbell is untiringly modest about his achievements, preferring to give credit for his success to others. "What stands out more than anything else from the 25 years of the ShareLunker program is the cooperation from the anglers," he said. "Anglers have been very supportive of the program. They have learned how to care for their big fish, and they understand the objective of the program is to increase the number of trophy bass caught in Texas. If you don't have the support of the people using the sport fishery itself, you haven't accomplished anything."
As the only manager the ShareLunker program has ever had, Campbell still personally picks up most of the fish from the anglers, driving 10,000 miles or more annually and working all night and many weekends to do so. "I have never met an angler who was mad about anything who had just caught a 13-pound bass," he said.

Recent Regulations affecting CB Items
On March 26, 2014, Federal register notice 79 FR 16664 was issued for the Implementation of Understandings reached at the June 2013 AG Plenary . Some of the changes made by this rule were as follows: removed the requirement for a license for Mexico for CB2 reasons in Supplement #1 to Part 738 added components to fermenters under 2B352.b; revised the "sample shipments" provisions in License Requirement Note 1 of ECCN 1C350 (Precursor chemicals) by changing the reporting requirement from quarterly to annual; and added a License Exception STA paragraph to the license exceptions section of ECCN 1C351 to clarify the existing eligibility requirements for certain items controlled under this ECCN.
- STA –– a new license exception that authorizes the export, reexport, and transfer (in-country) of specified 1C351 toxins to destinations that pose relatively low risk. This rule also allows the use of license exception GOV for items controlled for CB reasons of concern.
- GOV - this license exception applies to export of all CB items to cooperating government entities. See Section 740.11 of the EAR for more information.
The Australia Group (AG) is an informal forum of countries which, through the harmonization of export controls, seeks to ensure that exports do not contribute to the development of chemical or biological weapons. Coordination of national export control measures assists Australia Group participants to fulfill their obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention to the fullest extent possible.
Mexico formally became the 42nd member of the Australia Group on August 12, 2013. For more information, see Australia Group press release The AG Plenary will be held in Paris, France from June 2 - 6, 2014.
The Materials Technical Advisory Committee is the place for you to help mold and draft government decisions and regulations. This committee exclusively provides information to the Department of Commerce on the efficacy and impact of export regulations/controls on life science research and materials research. Membership allows you to be informed of pre-decisional activities, stay in the loop on deemed export requirements and export controls on items covered by the committee, and be aware of technology controls on such items.
What is a Technical Advisory Committee? Technical Advisory Committees (TACs) meet quarterly to advise the Department of Commerce (DOC) on the technical parameters for export controls applicable to dual use commodities and technology and on the administration of those controls. The TACs are composed of expert representatives from industry, academia with ex-officio government employees representing diverse points of view on the concerns of the exporting community. TAC members are appointed by the Secretary of Commerce, and serve terms of not more than four consecutive years. The membership reflects the Department's commitment to attaining balance and diversity. TAC members must obtain secret-level clearances prior to appointment. TAC meetings have an open session where all members of the public with interest are invited. Members of the TACs are not compensated for their services.
What is the MTAC? The Materials TAC covers a wide variety of items including articles, materials, and supplies for radar absorption, jet engine turbines blades, super conductivity, fluids, lubricants, and composites. Chemical precursors, biological agents, biological and chemical processing equipment are also under the MTAC purview. Many of the commodities in Category 1 and Category 2 are covered by the MTAC. The committee consists of technical experts, lawyers and export compliance people who create proposals for CCL reform, and for various export control regimes including Wassenaar Arrangement, Australia Group,the Nuclear Suppliers Group, and Missile Technology Control Regime.

Diagnosing Final Control Elements
McMillan and Weiner Ask James Beall What Was the Biggest Step Forward that Helped Him Improve Valve Performance
Greg: I have known James Beall way back to his days at Eastman Chemical when he generated some eye opening data on the response of valve positioners. James started out as instrument engineer. When James moved to the field he had to make the instrumentation and valves that he had selected actually work! This lead to a career in process control improvement at Eastman and his present position as principal consultant at Emerson. I have always been impressed with James field experience, practical approach, and open mind. In a way, I followed a similar path. When I first started at Monsanto, I was immediately transferred to Electrical and Instrument construction to install and commission what other engineers had selected. I learned what worked and didn't work. After my career at Monsanto and Solutia (now Eastman), I ended up as principal consultant as well but on a contract basis. At the end of December most of my contract work ends freeing me to relieve a knowledge overload in my head via overdue books. I have 4 books in the queue.
Stan: Since automation systems generally affect the process by manipulating a flow, the control valve is the key final control element. What was the biggest step forward that helped you improve valve performance?
James: The biggest revelation was getting the actual valve or more accurately the "actuator" position into the data historian and my process control data analysis system. Before the advent of the high performance digital positioner with readback, we had to install temporary or permanent position transmitters.
Greg: I installed position transmitters on surge valves because it was essential for making sure the pres-stroke dead time less than a second and the stroking time less than 1 second. It would haven been helpful to have this indication for all control valves but the cost of the separate transmitter and wiring relegated the installation to special cases. Not knowing what the valve was actually doing led to creative explanations of process variability. The Control feature I wrote at an ISA conference in the early 1990s "Valve Position: The Missing Link" revealed the absurdity of the situation. The feature ended up as a chapter in the ISA book How to Become an Instrument Engineer - Part 1.523 coauthored with Monsanto engineers with a similar sense of humor.
James: Without actual valve position (AVP) in the data historian, it is particularly difficult to diagnose when a valve moves despite a steady signal. If something was strange, the first thing to do was plot the AVP. In one case the valve would move on its own at a certain spot in the piston due to a worn O-ring. In another case the valve cycle was following the instrument air compressor pressure cycle. We found there was no air pressure regulator for the valves but even so, after checking the positioner specifications, the double acting pistons should not have been moving. The real problem turned out to be that the cross-over pressure was set to zero so there was no stiffness except for the spring that assisted fail action. Since the pressure could not go below zero, the actuator was acting like a single acting rather than a double acting piston.
Stan: Can you figure out everything from the control room?
James: You always need to look at what is out in the field or it will bite you. Once on a level loop on a decanter boot, a relatively fast integrating process, showed a limit cycle indicating a deadband of about 1%. When we checked the valve in the field, the valve would respond to a 0.1% change in signal if you waited long enough, so technically the supplier could say the valve had a resolution of 0.1%. The positioner had a 2 stage relay. For changes larger than 1%, the high capacity relay would kick in and the valve would respond within a second or two. For smaller changes in signal the valve would take 40 seconds or more respond. The fast integrating loop effectively revealed the real resolution limit because the level was ramping while waiting for the valve to respond. We put on a digital valve controller (DVC) that is a high performance digital positioner and the problem went away. Since then I have recommended putting this type of positioners on all valves.

SCAM Warnings
It has come to our attention that there are some people who are contacting landlords and potential renters with offers that may be scams. Please remember that these housing forums are open to the public. The information that you put in your listing is viewable to the general public, not just to those in the Denver Seminary community.
With that in mind, we encourage you to use caution and apply some common-sense principles when responding to requests regarding your listings:
- Do not share more contact information than you need to
- Deal locally with people that you can meet in person. While some of our students are relocating, they will not want to rent until they have seen the home. It is especially important to avoid dealings with people who are outside of the U.S. While it is possible that some of our international students may live off campus, almost all of them actually choose to live on campus.
- NEVER give out financial information, this includes your bank information, Social Security number, or any other type of highly sensitive and personal information.
- Remember that transactions are between you and the potential renter/landlord. Denver Seminary is never involved, does not require payment for the listings, nor do we guarantee any of the listings on this site.
- Here is a resource for checking email addresses for known rental scammers. You can access the free database and search for email addresses on RentVine. Another site that does this is Scam-O-Matic.
Examples of Scams:
- You receive an offer to rent your apartment sight unseen
- A cashier's check is offered as a deposit. (These are often fakes for which your bank will hold you responsible when, weeks later, it turns out that they were a fake.)
- The value of the cashier's check exceeds your deposit or rent, the scammer says they "trust you" and asks you to wire the difference to them.
- The person making the offer includes or involves a third-party (e.g., a friend or relative who owes them money).
Who to Notify about a suspected fraud or scam attempt:
- FTC toll free hotline: 877-FTC-HELP (877-382-4357)
- FTC online complaint form
- Internet Fraud Complaint Center
- Non-emergency number for your local police department.

BLACKBURN MP Jack Straw has taken up the case of a grandmother who began fundraising to pay for eye cancer treatment which can't be funded by the NHS.
Patricia Morris, who works as a teaching assistant at St James' Primary School in Lower Darwen, was diagnosed with an ocular melanoma in 2010, which then spread to her liver.
It meant, without treatment, she would have left her with only two years to live.
Chemotherapy was Patricia's only option available on the NHS, despite the procedure being widely reported to have only a very limited effect on melanoma.
Mother-of-three Patricia said: "I wrote to Jack Straw just to say that I was disappointed and felt like I wasn't provided for.
"I have worked since I left school and have paid my national insurance and it is awful to be forgotten as soon as you actually need something."
Damian Talbot, Mr Straw's constituency secretary said: "Jack has taken a close and personal involvement in Mrs Morris' case and is awaiting a response from the Secretary of State for Health."
Patricia made the brave decision to undergo a clinical trial for a treatment called Delcath at Southampton University.
The 10-session trial came to an end in October and Patricia's daughter, Kate Hargreaves, began campaigning to raise £56,000 for a revolutionary treatment called Adoptive Lymphocyte Transfer, performed at The Christie in Manchester.
Although still in its infancy, reports have shown that the transfer has made tumours disappear completely in some patients.
Kate, 32, who set up a Facebook page called Patricia's Rare Eye Cancer Appeal to raise awareness of her fundraising, said: "The response has been amazing.
"We have been through so much trauma in the past few years and it has really restored our faith in human kind and shown us the meaning of selflessness and generosity."
And there is good news for Patricia's health that the Southampton treatment has been a success.
She said: "The professor looked at my scans and said that the Delcath treatment had worked so well that the tumours were too small for him to begin the ALT procedure.
"Southampton University was told how well the Delcath had worked and offered me another session.
"It gives me much more time to fundraise and I know the road ahead is rocky but I'm ready for whatever 2014 throws at me.
"Giving up is not on my agenda."

Faculty leaders are becoming increasingly concerned about two bills in the Legislature that could open the door to the privatization of public colleges and universities and even deny access to some students in the community college system.
Controlling online courses
One of those bills, SB 520 by Sen. pro Tem Darrel Steinberg (D-Sacramento), will allow private sector vendors to provide massive open online courses (MOOCs) on campus, possibly to the detriment of students. The second bill, AB 955 by Assembly member Das Williams (D-Santa Barbara), would allow community colleges to increase student fees for summer and winter courses, ultimately limiting access to only those students who are able to pay.
CCA/CTA opposes the bills, and in the case of SB 520, is working in coalition with eight other faculty organizations and unions. CCA members have also sent hundreds of texts to their local legislators urging them to vote down the bill. Although SB 520's supporters claim the bill will increase access to classes, there is no guarantee of success. Currently, a disproportionate number of students of color and lower socio-economic status are not succeeding with online classes due to a lack of access to technology and additional lab support.
Yet, perhaps more foreboding is what faculty leaders see as the corporatization of California's public college system.
Business model trend
"There's definitely a trend toward a business model and they're pushing students into it by hook or by crook," said CCA Vice President Brad Reynolds, who monitors community college legislation for CCA. "It's all based on the philosophy that private education is a good model and that the private sector is better, but there's nothing that bears that out. These are assumptions I think we should contest."
He also points out that both pieces of legislation fail to address the real problem.
Ultimately, this is the result of years of underfunding. If the Legislature wants to increase access, it must continue to increase funding to our public colleges and universities," he said.
CCA Legislation – June 2013*
Bill Number
Provides community colleges with a property tax backfill
Requires the UC, CSU, CCC and private postsecondary institutions to provide entrance and exit counseling regarding student loans.
Requires a community college district to grant priority registration for enrollment of students in EOPS as well as to disabled students.
Prohibits full-time faculty members at community college districts from working more than 50% overload.
Requires the Community College BOG to create a stabilization formula for calculating a community college district's annual revenue and provide for revenue adjustments under specified situations.
*These are positions taken by the CCA Legislation and Political Action Committee and approved at CTA State Council on April 7, 2013.

Topic: Ozone Therapy
Has anyone tried Ozone therapy for CC?
I met a girl recently who was suffering from MesoThelomia and doctors had given her about 6-12 months and said nothing could be done. She underwent 4 months of nutirtion + a regimen on Ozone therapy. Miraculously she is pretty much cured and has no cancer traces left at the moment.
I am giving this a serious look for my mother-in-law. Does anyone have any experience / knowledge of this working with CC?

Joe Girardi didn't exactly say it, but baseball needs a Martian. That revelation hit him Sunday after an umpire blew a call against his Yankees.
Time to apply the Martian Test. It reveals that when people get so conditioned to something preposterous they don't realize how preposterous it is.
A Martian isn't blinded by inexplicable earthly traditions. It would never text while driving or watch one of those "Real Housewives" shows. And if one landed Sunday at Yankee Stadium, it would have left scratching its antennae.
Not over New York paying Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Robinson Cano $53 million to get one hit a week. The little red man would be flummoxed by the call in the eighth inning of Game 2 of the AL Championship Series.
Cano tagged out Tigers baserunner Omar Infante, who was trying to scramble back to second base. Everybody in the televised world saw Cano's glove hit Infante's chest about five minutes before Infante's hand hit the bag.
Why not correct something that's so correctable?
Photo gallery: Famous blown calls in postseason history
Umpire Jeff Nelson admitted he was wrong when he saw the replay—after the game. You could see how it happened. Nelson was in good position, but he couldn't see underneath Infante's body.
A variety of TV cameras did. How hard would it have been to call time out, check with a replay official in a booth and get it right?
Not hard at all, but that doesn't matter. If the Martian had been sitting next to a baseball "traditionalist," it would have been explained why. By now, we're all familiar with the reasons.
Replays would break the rhythm and slow the game. It would place baseball on a slippery slope toward total automation. Abner Doubleday didn't have cable.
Basically, replays would endanger the sport and threaten civilization as we know it.
"It's frustrating," Girardi said.
He got tossed for arguing the call. He should have taken an iPad out to second base, dialed up TBS and thrust it in Nelson's face. Then he could have lifted it toward the Commissioner's box, stretched his arms and yelled, "Why?"
The first baseball game was played in 1846. It took only 162 years for the sport to acknowledge the benefit of instant replay. But only to help get home run calls right.
Next year it will start allowing umpires to use replay to determine if line drives are caught or trapped, whether balls land fair or foul and if fans interfere with a fielder's chance of making a play.
"People in our sport don't want any more," Bud Selig said when the replay expansion was announced. "Given our attendance and everything we're doing, we're in the right place with instant replay."
Yeah, so was Nelson, and a lot of good that did. Baseball needs to wake up and smell the technology.
GPS can track a tree frog in the Amazon. Radar imaging has eliminated controversial line calls in tennis. Baseball could easily do the same with foul or fair balls.
It could put sensors in bags and gloves to see if runners are safe at first base. Graphics already show if a pitch is a ball or a strike. The sport could go completely geek, but that's not what we're talking about here.
We're talking about controversial baserunning plays. They wouldn't take 10 minutes to review, but what if they did? Wouldn't that be time well spent, especially when the call could decide a playoff game?
If pace of play were really such a worry, baseball could stop allowing batters to turn games into exhibitions of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
They step in and step out, unstrap and restrap the Velcro on their batting gloves, take three practice swings, kick dirt on the chalk lines.
— Derek Jeter may need surgery
— Yankees glad to be leaving New York
— Joe Girardi attends father's funeral
The Jets go three-and-out in less time than it takes A-Rod to strike out. If Peyton Manning took as long to throw as Josh Beckett does, he'd be living in a wheelchair.
Commissioner Selig says attendance is great, but how many of those fans are asleep? The worry that replay will disrupt the game's flow is as silly as the defense that blown calls are part of baseball's magic.
That's essentially saying that incompetence and injustice are all right because they've always been part of the game.
So were spitballs, day games only and train rides. Nobody is proposing umpires being replaced by drones. Nobody is saying replay would be a cure-all to every bad call.
But what's so bad about a cure, something that would help avoid embarrassments like the one Sunday?
If you know the answer, please forward it to Mars. There are some very perplexed creatures there right now.

White Sox announce player development staff
CHICAGO -- Julio Vinas, who was at the helm for Double-A Birmingham's 2013 Southern League championship, will be back as Barons manager for 2014 as part of the player development staff announced by the White Sox on Tuesday. Birmingham's title was its first since '02.
Joel Skinner returns for his third season managing Triple-A Charlotte, while Tommy Thompson moves to Class A Advanced Winston-Salem and Pete Rose Jr. moves to Class A Kannapolis. Both enter their fourth straight season managing in the White Sox system, with Rose Jr. having led Advanced Rookie Great Falls to the Pioneer League playoffs last season.
Charlie Poe takes over as manager at Great Falls, starting his first assignment as a manager. Mike Gellinger, who worked as a Major League coach, computer scouting analyst and special assignment scout for the White Sox from 1997 to 2013 and managed at Advanced Rookie Bristol in '13, will lead the White Sox new Arizona Rookie League team. The AZL entry will play at Camelback Ranch.
Former White Sox third baseman Vance Law, who joined the player development staff last season, serves as the assistant hitting coordinator in 2014. He will work with returning hitting coordinator Tim Laker. Pitching coaches Richard Dotson (Charlotte), Britt Burns (Birmingham), J.R. Perdew (Winston-Salem), Jose Bautista (Kannapolis) and Brian Drahman (Great Falls) will return to their posts this season.
Nick Capra begins his third season as director of player development, and Kirk Champion begins his third season as the field coordinator, after both were promoted on Jan. 23, 2012.
