Three memoranda of meetings from the 2005 Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The first two memoranda document meetings with the Naval Aviation Industrial Joint Cross-Service Group (I-JSG) regarding the Industrial Group’s proposal (IND 19) and the concepts used to evaluate capacity across all services. The third memorandum documents a meeting with military personnel regarding the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, NC.

A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "Over the years, the Department of Defense (DOD) has recorded billions of dollars of disbursements and collections in suspense accounts because the proper appropriation accounts could not be identified and charged. DOD has also been unable to resolve discrepancies between its and Treasury's records of checks issued by DOD. Because documentation that would allow for resolution of these payment recording problems could not be found after so many years, DOD requested and received legislative authority to write off certain aged suspense transactions and check payment differences. The conference report (H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 107-772) that accompanied the legislation (Pub. L. No. 107-314) required GAO to review and report on DOD's use of this write-off authority."

Correspondence issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "This letter responds to a Congressional request concerning our April 2000 report, Early Education and Care: Overlap Indicates Need to Assess Crosscutting Programs (GAO/HEHS-00-78). Given the historical concern regarding the potential for program overlap among federal early childhood education and care programs, Congress asked that we update the list of programs providing or supporting education or care for children under the age of 5. The 2000 list included 69 programs, which were administered by 9 different agencies. To respond to the request, we replicated the keyword search from our 2000 report using the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). After assessing the reliability of the CFDA, we determined it was suitable for our purposes. We obtained explanations regarding programs that were deleted from the CFDA. Our search yielded 254 programs, and we reviewed their descriptions to determine if they met three criteria: (1) directly funded or supported education and/or child care, (2) provided these services to children under age 5, and (3) delivered services in an educational or child care setting. Based on this review, we selected over 70 programs as potentially meeting these criteria and provided agencies …

A letter report issued by the Government Accountability Office with an abstract that begins "In 2003, GAO designated modernizing federal disability programs as a high-risk area requiring urgent attention and organizational transformation to ensure that programs function as efficiently and effectively as possible. GAO found that although social attitudes have changed and medical advancements afford greater opportunities for people with disabilities to work, the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs have maintained an outmoded approach that equated disability with inability to work. We have prepared this report under the Comptroller General's authority as part of a continued effort to help policymakers better understand the extent of support provided by federal programs to people with disabilities and to assist them in determining how these programs could be better aligned to more effectively meet the needs of individuals with disabilities in the 21st century. This report identifies (1) the wide array of federal programs that serve people with disabilities, and (2) the major challenges these federal programs face in the 21st century. In addition, GAO presents factors policy makers and program administrators should address in assessing whether, and how, they could be transformed to better meet 21st century challenges."

Monte Carlo methods are frequently used for neutron and radiation transport. These methods have several advantages, such as relative ease of programming and dealing with complex meshes. Disadvantages include long run times and statistical noise. Monte Carlo photon transport calculations also often suffer from inaccuracies in matter temperature due to the lack of implicitness. In this paper we discuss the Monte Carlo algorithm as it is applied to neutron and photon transport, detail the differences between neutron and photon Monte Carlo, and give an overview of the ways the numerical method has been modified to deal with issues that arise in photon Monte Carlo simulations.

General formulae for resistive-wall induced beam dilution are presented and then applied to the final beam delivery system of linear colliders. Criteria for the design of final beam delivery systems are discussed.

The authors report on the search for the rare decays B{sup +} {yields} D{sup (*)+} K{sub s}{sup 0} in approximately 226 million {Upsilon}(4S) {yields} B{bar B} decays collected with the BABAR detector at the PEp-II asymmetric-energy B factory at SLAC. They do not observe any significant signal and they set 90% confidence level upper limits on the branching fractions, {Beta}(B{sup +} {yields} D{sup +}K{sup 0}) < 0.5 x 10{sup -5} and {Beta}(B{sup +} {yields} D*{sup +} K{sup 0}) < 0.9 x 10{sup -5}.

The authors have shown that in the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) undulator region, because of the high frequency content in the bunch shape, the energy variation induced by the resistive wall wake is much larger when the (proper) ac conductivity calculation is performed, than for the often-used dc calculation. Using a round copper beam pipe will result in a (relative) energy variation many times the Pierce parameter, implying that a large fraction of beam will not reach saturation. Our results suggest that this situation can be improved by, instead, choosing a flat, aluminum beam pipe.
