An investigation of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the compact steep-spectrum (CSS) source and possible radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy (NLS1), PKS 2004-447, is presented. ... Analysis of a non-contemporaneous, low-resolution optical spectrum suggests that the narrow-line region (NLR) is much more reddened than the X-ray emitting region suggesting that the gas-to-dust ratio in PKS 2004-447 may be very different than in our own Galaxy. ...

H I Self-Absorption (HISA) arises from cold H I gas in front of warmer H I emission at the same velocity. HISA is thus a unique probe of the velocity and temperature structure of the Galactic ISM, from sub-parsec scales within clouds up to multi-kiloparsec scales across the disk. ... To address this question, a series of simple H I radiative transfer models of the Galaxy will be presented. ...
