The Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) is the primary providerof network connectivity for the US Department of Energy Office ofScience, the single largest supporter of basic research in the physicalsciences in the United States. In support of the Office of Scienceprograms, ESnet regularly updates and refreshes its understanding of thenetworking requirements of the instruments, facilities and scientiststhat it serves. This focus has helped ESnet to be a highly successfulenabler of scientific discovery for over 20 years. In August, 2002 theDOE Office of Science organized a workshop to characterize the networkingrequirements for Office of Science programs. Networking and middlewarerequirements were solicited from a representative group of scienceprograms. The workshop was summarized in two documents the workshop finalreport and a set of appendixes. This document updates the networkingrequirements for ESnet as put forward by the science programs listed inthe 2002 workshop report. In addition, three new programs have beenadded. Theinformation was gathered through interviews with knowledgeablescientists in each particular program or field.

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 8:30 AM at Abilene Christian University: "How can today's families live out Paul's instruction for marriage and parenting in a postmodern world? This class will examine healthy habits for families in light of both the witness of Scripture and current theories."

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 9:45 AM at Abilene Christian University: "In many ways, the themes of John's gospel are unique and compelling. Three theologians read the Gospel of John to see what it has to say about truth, trinity and salvation."

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 9:45 AM at Abilene Christian University: "In prayer, we encounter the powerful presence of God. But prayer also presents some of the most perplexing issues related to faith. How then should we pray?"

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 9:45 AM at Abilene Christian University: "Our heritage was once known as a unity movement of people who wanted to be Christians only. Somewhere along the way that goal was lost. Can it be recaptured? Two preachers from different streams or our movement think it can, and think the time to say and do so is now."

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 3:15 PM at Abilene Christian University: "No one would deny the importance placed in Scripture on the unity of Christ's followers. Yet the reality of division is stark. How can churches concerned with fulfilling Christ's prayer for unity actually live within it? A panel of leaders will pursue this important question."

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 9:45 AM at Abilene Christian University: "What if we could use some of the pictures of the ministry of Jesus to shape how we view our marriages? Beyond rules and roles, this class hopes that we can see our marriages in the stories of Jesus."

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "The events of the division in the Stone-Campbell Movement influenced the way we see each other. Often these views were caricatures that were intentionally negative in their portrayals. Can we move beyond these negative portrayals?"

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "Why are so many of our young people leaving our churches? In this session, three generations of a "CofC" family explore questions like these, and in doing so, explore the dynamics of tradition, commitment, truth, inheritance, love, trust and faith."

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 9:45 AM at Abilene Christian University: "Congregationally produced drama and film can help make modern Bible applications. "Jennifer's Gift" is an example of a short film designed for today's study of the "Widow's Offering" in Mark 12:41-44. A look at production, lessons and teaching."

Title II of the Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act for FY2006 (P.L. 109-54, H.R. 2361) provides $7.73 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), subject to an across-the-board rescission of 0.476%. Section 439 of Title IV indicates that the rescission is to be applied proportionately among each account, program, project, and activity specified in the law, accompanying reports, and the President’s budget request. The total FY2006 EPA appropriation includes an additional $80 million in unobligated funds “rescinded” from past appropriations, as noted in the following table. P.L. 109-54 provides more funding for EPA than the Administration’s FY2006 request of $7.52 billion, but less than the FY2005 appropriation of $8.03 billion.

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 3:15 PM at Abilene Christian University: "Can the church balance her commitment to love a broken world along with her commitment to holy living? In an interdisciplinary conversation, a psychologist, historian, theologian, literature professor, and minister explore how achieving this balance may be more difficult than any of us had imagined."

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "Pilate's question for Jesus echoes through the ages into our day. Is Pilate a pre-modern postmodernist? These classes will discuss the claims about truth in John's Gospel and in our current culture."

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "David Bland interviews David Fleer concerning Monday evening's theme lecture. How did his reading of the text lead to the sermon he preached? And what choices did he make in pulling the sermon together? Get a behind-the-scenes look."

The Natural Barriers Thrust supports scientific studies of the natural system at the proposed repository site of Yucca Mountain. It stresses the realistic representation of the natural system with respect to processes and parameters, by means of laboratory, field, and modeling studies. It has the objectives to demonstrate that the natural barriers can make large contributions to repository performance, supporting the multiple-barrier concept for geological disposal of high-level radioactive waste; and to reduce the overall cost of repository development by elimination of unnecessary engineered components, given the demonstrated natural barriers performance. In this overview we enumerate the research projects within the Natural Barriers Thrust grouped under five elements: (1) Drift Seepage, (2) In-drift Environment, (3) Drift Shadow, (4) Unsaturated Zone Flow and Transport, and (5) Saturated Zone Flow and Transport. The long-term strategic plan of the Natural Barriers Thrust and some key results are also briefly described.

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "These four - a counselor, social worker, children's minister, and English professor - discuss what it is like to live prayerfully with John 3:16 in relation to the worlds they inhabit. Lectio divina meets our world."

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 3:15 PM at Abilene Christian University: "It's easy to think of prophets, apostles, or even present day ministers as being called to the work of God in the world. But what about accountants, carpenters or airline attendants? This panel will discuss how to think of our work as calling from God."

Present-day nonlinear microstability codes are able to compute the saturated fluctuations of a turbulent fluid versus space and time, whether the fluid be liquid, gas, or plasma. They are therefore able to determine turbulence-induced fluid (or particle) and energy fluxes. These codes, however, must be tested against experimental data, not only with respect to transport, but also characteristics of the fluctuations. The latter is challenging because of limitations in the diagnostics (e.g., finite spatial resolution) and the fact that the diagnostics typically do not measure exactly the quantities the codes compute. In this work, we present a system based on IDL{reg_sign} analysis and visualization software in which user-supplied ''diagnostic filters'' are applied to the code outputs to generate simulated diagnostic signals. The same analysis techniques as applied to the measurements, e.g., digital time-series analysis, may then be applied to the synthesized signals. Their statistical properties, such as rms fluctuation level, mean wave numbers, phase and group velocities, correlation lengths and times, and in some cases full S(k,{omega}) spectra can then be compared directly to those of the measurements.

Lecture given Tuesday, February 21, 2006, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "For so many, the names of Brecheen and Faulkner are synonymous with marriage enrichment. As we honor their ministry, come and celebrate marriage, both its power and possibilities."
