**Change summary**:

The FBCA CPWG recommends the following change to accurately represent in
this policy the responsible party in the case of disputer resolution in
the use of certificates.

**Background**: The need for this change proposal was realized while
reviewing other comments for the E-Governance CA CP at the 23 July 2004
CPWG meeting. This change was formalized into a change proposal because
it was considered a substantive change, requiring FPKIPA approval to
implement. The concept and content of the policy change was discussed
with the FPKIPA at the 10 August 2004 FPKIPA meeting, but a vote was
postponed until this change proposal could be developed.

**Specific Change:**

[Make the following changes in Section 2.4.2 (Dispute Resolution
Procedures):]{.underline}

The E-Authentication PMO shall facilitate the resolution between
entities when conflicts arise as a result of the use of certificates
issued under this policy.

**Estimated Cost:**

There is no financial cost associated with implementing this change.

**Implementation Date:**

This change will be implemented immediately.

**Prerequisites for Adoption:**

There are no prerequisites.

**Plan to Meet Prerequisites:**

There are no prerequisites.

**§4.30 Convalescent ratings.**

A total disability rating (100 percent) will be assigned without regard
to other provisions of the rating schedule when it is established by
report at hospital discharge (regular discharge or release to non-bed
care) or outpatient release that entitlement is warranted under
paragraph (a)(1), (2), or (3) of this section effective the date of
hospital admission or outpatient treatment and continuing for a period
of 1, 2, or 3 months from the first day of the month following such
hospital discharge or outpatient release. The termination of these total
ratings will not be subject to §3.105(e) of this chapter. Such total
rating will be followed by appropriate schedular evaluations. When the
evidence is inadequate to assign a schedular evaluation, a physical
examination will be scheduled and considered prior to the termination of
a total rating under this section.

\(a\) Total ratings will be assigned under this section if treatment of
a service-connected disability resulted in:

\(1\) Surgery necessitating at least one month of convalescence
(Effective as to outpatient surgery March 1, 1989.)

\(2\) Surgery with severe postoperative residuals such as incompletely
healed surgical wounds, stumps of recent amputations, therapeutic
immobilization of one major joint or more, application of a body cast,
or the necessity for house confinement, or the necessity for continued
use of a wheelchair or crutches (regular weight-bearing prohibited).
(Effective as to outpatient surgery March 1, 1989.)

\(3\) Immobilization by cast, without surgery, of one major joint or
more. (Effective as to outpatient treatment March 10, 1976.)

A reduction in the total rating will not be subject to §3.105(e) of this
chapter. The total rating will be followed by an open rating reflecting
the appropriate schedular evaluation; where the evidence is inadequate
to assign the schedular evaluation, a physical examination will be
scheduled prior to the end of the total rating period.

\(b\) A total rating under this section will require full justification
on the rating sheet and may be extended as follows:

\(1\) Extensions of 1, 2, or 3 months beyond the initial 3 months may be
made under paragraph (a)(1), (2), or (3) of this section.

\(2\) Extensions of 1 or more months up to 6 months beyond the initial 6
months period may be made under paragraph (a)(2) or (3) of this section
upon approval of the Veterans Service Center Manager.

Enclosed for your review is a copy of the research grant application
titled \"A gene pyramiding approach for protection of corn plants from
insect pests\" to be submitted by my collaborator, Dr. S. Muthukrishnan,
Kansas State University (KSU), to the USDA National Research Initiatives
(NRI) Entomology and Nematology Program. I am listed as Co-PI, and if
funded, all proceeds will go to KSU.

We propose to develop a gene-pyramiding strategy in transgenic corn
which includes, in addition to Bt toxin, two other insecticidal
proteins, chicken avidin and insect chitinase. This will test the
hypothesis that such a gene combination would provide protection from a
broad spectrum of insect pests and reduce the level of biopesticides
required for effective pest control *in planta,* essentially mimicking a
\"high dose of single biopesticide\" strategy but using low doses of
three biopesticides. The products of this research would be varieties of
super insect-resistant corn for use in integrated pest management
programs.

This is a program that fits well within the mission of the USDA-ARS
[(insert name of Research Unit and/or Location here)]{.mark} as detailed
in USDA-ARS National Programs xxx and xxx [(enter your NP \#
here)]{.mark}.

My collaborators and I appreciate very much your support of this
research effort. If you have any questions, please contact me at

Proposal
**Information Technology (IT) and Graphic Design Services**

**For NIH-Intramural Loan Repayment and Scholarship**

**SOLE SOURCE JUSTIFICATION**

The activities described in this Statement of Work are currently
performed by Social and Scientific Systems (SSS). SSS has superbly
performed these duties since the inception of the UGSP and the
Intramural LRP over ten years ago. The past performance demonstrates
that they have the ability to meet and exceed the work requirements and
evaluation criteria.

Additionally, due to the complexity of the UGSP Web site, in particular
the maintenance, management, and reporting pages and their underlying
databases, it is in the best interest of the government to select a
contractor with existing comprehensive, in-depth knowledge of the
architecture and functions of the UGSP Web site. Educating a contractor
that is not already knowledgeable of the site's functions and
programming would require weeks or months of transition time at a great
cost to the government. Because SSS has developed and maintained the
UGSP Web site for the past 10 years, they are the only contract who
would not require weeks or months of transition time.

Finally, SSS successfully obtained NIH Certification and Authorization
to operate, and continue to comply with relevant security policies and
procedures. To date, SSS has ensured that all critical software updates
from Microsoft and other platform vendors are expeditiously applied,
that anti-virus software is operational and continuously updated, and
that nightly backups are made and appropriately secured in case of
disaster. This Certification and Authorization permits SSS to host,
maintain and enhance the LRP web site and maintain and enhance the UGSP
web site. It would be very difficult to identify a vendor that would be
able to immediately host these sites and provide seamless transition of
the site move to the NIH servers.

Based on the web-site and graphics work already in process with Social
and Scientific Systems, it would be a great expense and extremely time
consuming if the office has to start with a new vendor, resulting in a
significant delay in the programs functions. Therefore, requesting a
sole source is completely necessary.

Labor Department Seeks Appointment of Independent Fiduciary for Orphaned
Illinois Profit Sharing Plan

**CHICAGO** ---The U.S. Department of Labor sued defunct Dynaweld, Inc.
of Aurora, Ill. on Oct. 11, 2002, to obtain a court-appointed
independent fiduciary to manage, terminate and distribute the assets of
the company's orphaned profit sharing plan to participants and
beneficiaries.

Number range CHAPTERPlans become \"orphan plans\" when they are
abandoned by all fiduciaries designated to manage and operate them and
their assets. As a result, participants and beneficiaries are unable to
receive pension distributions and to make inquiries about their
benefits.

Dynaweld, which provided construction companies with large-scale earth
moving and excavation equipment, ceased operations on Oct. 13, 2000 and
was subsequently dissolved by the state of Illinois. The plan's three
administrators also resigned between November and December 2000. As of
Aug. 31, 2001, the plan covered eight participants and had \$122,628 in
assets.

The lawsuit alleges that Dynaweld failed to appoint successor
fiduciaries to manage, operate and terminate the plan. As a result,
participants were unable to obtain pension distributions and communicate
with the plan. The company also failed to formally terminate the plan
and file the plan's annual financial report for the year ending in
February of 2001.

The suit, filed in federal district court in Chicago, resulted from an
investigation conducted by the Chicago regional office of the
department's Pension and Welfare Benefits Administration into alleged
violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act.

Attention Docket ID No. OPP-2004-0370

To: EPA Re-registration Specialist

As President of The Aquatic Plant Management Society, I am writing to
express my support for the re-registration of endothall as an aquatic
herbicide and algaecide. Specifically I want to address the
re-registration of Hydrothol 191 and Hydrothol 191 Granular Herbicide
and Algaecide.

Hydrothol 191 and Hydrothol 191 Granular have been used safely for
decades and are valuable tools to the professional managers of
reservoirs, canals, lakes and ponds. Hydrothol 191 is the only currently
registered algaecide that provides an effective and economical
alternative to copper. In addition, Hydrothol 191 is often used in
conjunction with copper to provide more effective control of algae and
aquatic weeds.

When applied according to the label's instructions, Hydrothol 191
provides control of algae and weeds without impacting fish and wildlife.
Water resource managers rely on these products to control some of the
more difficult algae and weeds, such as *vallisneria spp.,* that cannot
be controlled with other algaecides or herbicides. The loss of these
compounds would place an unnecessary burden on professional water
resource managers in the United States.

Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional
information. Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Eric P. Barkemeyer

President, The Aquatic Plant Management Society
# Standards Change Request

## Add PPI mission phase names SCR3-1091

#### Provenance:

Date: 2007-0110

Author(s): R.Joyner (EN)

Working R.Joyner (lead); S.Joy (PPI)

#### Problem:

Running \[vtool\] on sample of PPI labels produced good results. Labels
did validate. One systematic problem occurred. Which was that the data
dictionary does not contain all valid values for certain terms. For
example, the MISSION_PHASE_NAME does not contain the Galileo target
list. These had been submitted to EN in the past.

#### Current Urgency:

Priority is high. This change is needed for the next set of PPI data.
(It was medium priority when this SCR was first submitted, but now that
the time is shorter, it has been raised to high.)

#### Proposed Solution:

Add the following as standards values to the MISSION_PHASE_NAME data

#### Impact Assessment:

The impact should be low. The Data Dictionary will need to be modified
to add the above standard values to MISSION_PHASE_NAME.

#### Additional Information:

N/A

#### Requested Changes:

An updated element definition for to MISSION_PHASE_NAME has been
submitted.
**Allergic Conjunctivitis**

Allergic conjunctivitis is an eye allergy. Symptoms include red, itchy,
burning, watery eyes. Some people have a mucus discharge from their eyes
in the morning, puffy eyelids, or a rubbing feeling in their eyes.

The following things will help relieve the symptoms:

-   Do NOT rub your eyes!

-   Use cold packs on your eyes when they feel irritated. You could use
    a jar of ice water or a cold can pressed against the closed eye
    until it is numb. Then do the same to the other eye.

Remember there is no cure for eye allergies. They are caused by
irritants in the air like sand, dust, or pollen. Eye drops such as
Visine do [not]{.underline} help. Cold packs are the treatment that will
help you get better.

**Switch Test Plan (DAQ R&D)**

A general purpose event builder test system (figure 1) is being
implemented in cooperation with CMS and CDF. It will initially consist
of eight VME processors and a small ATM switch. The VME processors are a
combination of Motorola MVME1603 and Radstone PPC603. Both are based on
the PowerPC processor. The PPC603 has an additional PCI mezzanine port
which will allow emulation of the buffer modules in later testing. The
switch will support a minimum of 16 ports at 155 Mbps or 4 ports at 622
Mbps. If the cost differential is small, a switch supporting 64 ports at
155 Mbps or 16 ports at 622 Mbps will be selected. For the first round
of testing, the input and output links will be 155 Mbps ATM multimode
fiber adapters (PCI Mezzanine Card form factor). Four of the processors
will be used to emulate the front-end modules, readout buffers and
trigger buffer, with each processor driving one switch input channel.
The remaining four processors will emulate the processor buffers and
event processors. The purpose of this test system is to develop drivers
and data flow control software.

Figure 1

The system shown in figure 2 will be used to test commercial and
noncommercial switches at higher data rates. A high speed buffer module
will drive the switch, with data supplied by VME processors
interconnected in a small ring (QuickRing or SCI). This system has a
total bandwidth of 300 MBytes/sec, which approximates the CDF
requirement for the next upgrade. The 155 Mbps adapters used in the
first test will be replaced by 622 Mbps adapters when commercially
available. This system will also be used to test a noncommercial
synchronous switch based on G-Link adapters and a serial crossbar.

**Perspective: Species Richness Estimation**

Many investigators use estimates of species richness (and change in
species richness) as a summary of community dynamics. Unfortunately, the
naive estimate of total number of observed species from surveys is
frequently biased, as most survey methods have some chance of missing
species during the counts. For surveys such as the Breeding Bird Survey,
this chance is well known to differ among observers and routes
(Boulinier et al. 1998).  This is a very real problem, and investigators
who use simple counts of species in ecological studies must recognize
that their estimates of species richness and change in richness are
flawed and could be subject to criticism or rebuttal.

Luckily, estimators of species richness have been developed to estimate
detection rates of species, and to accommodate variation in detection
rates among species and sites (e.g.  Burnham and Overton 1979).  Nichols
et al. (1998a,b) have developed a series of estimators for change in
communities that incorporate the possibility of variation in detection
rates among species.  Program COMDYN (Hines et al. 1999) implements
these estimators of change over time and space for the North American
Breeding Bird Survey.  Detailed descriptions of the estimators in
program COMDYN can be found in Nichols et al. (1998a, 1998b). These
papers, along with papers describing other examples and applications of
species richness estimation methods, are available either from the
website
(http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/software/estimation_of_bird_community_dyn.htm)
or from the authors.

data.

USDA LOAN GUARANTEE TO HELP OHIO SAWMILL EXPAND OPERATIONS, ADD JOBS

NELSONVILLE, Ohio, Nov. 1, 2004 \-- Agriculture Secretary Ann M. Veneman
today announced that a \$1.7 million loan guarantee has been issued to
Waldron Lumber Co. in McArthur, Ohio. The family-owned company, which is
celebrating its 50th year in business, is an important source of jobs in
Vinton County.

\"The Bush administration is committed to assisting small businesses in
rural America,\" Veneman said during a visit here to make the
announcement. \"This financing will help keep Waldron Lumber Company
doing what it has done for half a century: providing quality, band-saw
lumber to meet the nation\'s growing need for hardwood lumber.\"

The financing, offered under USDA Rural Development\'s Business and
Industry (B&I) Guaranteed Loan program, will help save 36 existing jobs
and allow the hardwood sawmill to add an additional 14 jobs over the
next several years.

Waldron Lumber concentrates on production of hardwood veneers used for
furniture, cabinetry and hardwood floors. It is owned and managed by the
founder\'s daughter, Dana Eberts and her husband Mike, who have been
running the business since 1989.

The loan will be used to refinance existing debt to improve the plant\'s
cash flow and to add a second shift to meet increased demand for
hardwoods. It will also help finance the purchase of new equipment for
expanded operations.

The 12-year loan was issued by the Oak Hill Bank of Jackson, Ohio, with
USDA Rural Development guaranteeing 80 percent of the total. For more
information on the B&I program, visit:

**NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION**

Case Number: EB-05-PA-143

Document Number: W20063240003

The Philadelphia Office received information that an unlicensed
broadcast radio station on 90.5 MHz was allegedly operating in
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. On September 14, 2005, agents from this
office confirmed by direction finding techniques that radio signals on
frequency 90.5 MHz were emanating from the Beit Harambam Congregation,
9981 Veree Road, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The Commission's records
show that no license was issued for operation of a broadcast station on
90.5 MHz at this location in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Radio stations must be licensed by the FCC pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 301.
The only exception to this licensing requirement is for certain
transmitters using or operating at a power level or mode of operation
that complies with the standards established in Part 15 of the
Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. §§  15.1 *et seq*. The field strength of
the signal on frequency 90.5 MHz was measured at 2386 µV/m at 231.7
meters, which exceeded the maximum permitted level of 250 microvolts per
meter (µV/m) at 3 meters for non-licensed devices. Thus, this station is
operating in violation of 47 U.S.C. § 301.

You are hereby warned that operation of radio transmitting equipment
without a valid radio station authorization constitutes a violation of
the Federal laws cited above and could subject the operator to severe
penalties, including, but not limited to, substantial monetary fines,
*in rem* arrest action against the offending radio equipment, and
criminal sanctions including imprisonment. (*see* 47 U.S.C. §§ 401, 501,
503 and 510).

**UNLICENSED OPERATION OF THIS RADIO STATION MUST BE DISCONTINUED
IMMEDIATELY**.

You have ten (10) days from the date of this notice to respond with any
evidence that you have authority to operate granted by the FCC. Your
response should be sent to the address in the letterhead and reference
the listed case and document number. Under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
U.S.C. § 552a(e)(3), we are informing you that the Commission's staff
will use all relevant material information before it to determine what,
if any, enforcement action is required to ensure your compliance with
FCC Rules. This will include any information that you disclose in your
reply.

You may contact this office if you have any questions.

PRICES SET FOR EISENHOWER SILVER DOLLARS

Eugene T. Rossides, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Enforcement and
Operations, today announced the following premium prices for special
Eisenhower dollar coins to be made of a 40 percent silver alloy:

\$10.00 per coin for the proof, and

\$ 3.00 per coin for the uncirculated.

The Mint will announce ordering details for these collectors coins
shortly. It is emphasized that orders will not be accepted prior to July
1, 1971.

The Mint plans to produce 150 million of the silver content coins.
Cupro-nickel dollar coins also will be made for general circulation, but
will not appear until late in the year.

[PROOF COINS]{.underline}. These are pieces made from carefully selected
blanks that have been highly polished before being fed to the presses.
The dies, made solely for this purpose, are also highly polished, and
are buffed during use. In order to minimize scratches and abrasions the
coins are hand-fed to a slow-moving press. The slower action assures
sharper, more even impressions and makes the design much more distinct.
Each coin is struck twice. The finished coins have an almost mirror
surface.

For the most part, the finish on modern-day proofs is mirror-like. After
heat treating, each coinage die has a frosted appearance and texture
throughout its entire surface. The field, or background, is then highly
polished to a mirror finish. The portrait, and all other design elements
in relief, are still frosted. Once in production, the action of
successive coining tends to polish the portrait; the two-toned effect
gradually disappears.

Proof coin manufacture requires the same careful, painstaking finishing
operations as do pieces of expensive jewelry. Each coin is reviewed to
detect any defects which may have occurred in the manufacturing
operations. All condemned or otherwise imperfect coins are melted.

[UNCIRCULATED COINS]{.underline}. These are pieces minted on high-speed
presses, moved along conveyors, and run through counting machines. No
attempt is made to impart a special finish. Each coin is struck only
once. The Treasury cannot guarantee that these coins will be entirely
free from blemishes.

This script can probably be modified for use by any office. Feel free to
contact me for any help or questions.

The script uses the default GFE generated WRKPFM,WRKSFT, and WRKSAF

to create a WRKSAF with a format more suitable for playback on CRS.

It can be executed via a desktop menu or command line. Modifications may
be needed to CRS formatters to read the reformatted SAF.

The script makes a determination of whether it is a morning or afternoon
package based on the format of the WRKSFT. The WRKPFM, WRKSFT, and
default WRKSAF should be created by the GFE formatters before this
script is run. At NWSFO Flagstaff the forecaster/hmt runs the script
manually via shell script from a drop-down menu. When the script is
finished running, nedit is executed which allows QC,post editing, and
sending to CRS.

The program is made up of the following parts:

1\. The WRKSFT is read and a determination of forecast package is made.

2\. Point data values (temps and pops) for the first three (or
four)periods are obtained from the WRKPFM.

3\. The default GFE generated WRKSAF is read and the first three or four
periods are stripped from the product based on whether it is a morning
or afternoon package.

4\. The extended forecast weather elements text is built from the
WRKSFT. A simple routine determines whether to split-out the extended
day individually or to combine days three through five.

5\. Temperature ranges are determined for each zone for the extended
period, and the final output is place in a WRKSAF file which can be sent
to CRS.

The output can be modified by changing any of the

printf statements writing to SAF_OUT.

Instructions for install.

The directory structure the script uses is as follows:

./bin (contains reformat_saf.pl)

./data (SAF,SFT,PFM are all written here along with OUTPUTSAF)

./dev (Various data files used for debugging sent here

1.  Copy the reformat_saf.pl to your preferred directory. NWSFO FGZ
    uses: /awips/dev/localapps/saf/bin

2.  Create ./dev and ./data directories e.g:

> /awips/dev/localapps/saf/dev
>
> /awips/dev/localapps/saf/data

3.  Modify the data paths at the beginning of reformat_saf.pl

4.  Enter in the city data for your area at the beginning of
    reformat_saf.pl. It should be self explanatory (I hope), feel free
    contact me if anything is unclear.

5.  There is a texdb command embedded in the scripts that is commented
    out, if you wish the script to write to the informix database,
    uncomment this line. At NWSFO Flagstaff, we use Nedit to perform a
    QC check and post-edits, prior to issuing the WRKSAF as PHXSAFFGZ.

6.  Make necessary modifcations to CRS formatters to read the newly
    created SAF.

# Sample Disaster Scenario {#sample-disaster-scenario .Style4}

Apple Valley is a rural community with a population of 13,000. Located
in Apple County, the town is located between Dawson and Sparkville.

South Lawn Retirement Home is a privately owned geriatric facility,
located at the end of 7^th^ Street (see the map on the next page).
Although a new access road is under construction, 7^th^ Street is
currently the only access route to South Lawn. Because South Lawn is
located across the main line of the Southeast Railroad from the
remainder of Apple Valley and could be isolated in the event of a major
incident, the South Lawn administrator jumped at the opportunity to
organize a CERT. CERT training ended just 2 weeks ago.

It has been a hot, muggy June day---the kind of day that usually spawns
thunderstorms. Early in the day, the National Weather Service issued a
severe thunderstorm watch for the afternoon and early evening hours. As
the afternoon continued, the temperature rose into the high 80s.
Building storms were very visible to the southwest.

While on your dinner break, you turned on the Weather Channel™ to check
the latest forecast. It didn't surprise you to see that the National
Weather Service had upgraded the watch to a warning for your county.
After finishing your dinner, you went back to work on the second floor
of the nursing home. As you work, you hear thunder off in the distance.

Awhile later, you hear the local tornado siren begin to sound. Although
you immediately begin following the home's established procedures for a
tornado warning, there is just no time. Before you can get even the
first patient wheeled toward the hallway, you hear glass breaking at the
other end of the hallway. The tornado (which would later be determined
to be an F-3) struck the northwest corner of the building, tearing away
the roof, throwing glass everywhere, and causing a partial collapse at
that corner.

As the tornado passes, you realize that you and the residents assigned
to you are safe. But you can tell from a quick look down the hall and
the screams coming from that area that there have been injuries.
Although the situation is confused, you also think you can smell smoke.

\(a\) Death compensation will be apportioned if the child or children of
the deceased veteran are not in the custody of the surviving spouse.

\(b\) The surviving spouse may not be paid less than \$65 monthly plus

**MEXICO AGREES TO LIFT POULTRY BAN ON NINE STATES**

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12, 2005BThe U.S. Department of Agriculture=s Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Service today announced that Mexico has
agreed to lift its ban on poultry, table and hatching eggs and live
birds from nine states that had previously had low pathogencity avian
influenza (LPAI).

Under the agreement negotiated with officials from Mexico=s Secretariat
of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food, the
states of California, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Missouri, New
Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas (with the exception of 11
counties) will now be able to export their products to Mexico.

The 11 Texas counties of Gonzalez, Guadalupe, Galdwell, Bastrop,
Fayette, La Vaca, De Witt, Karnes, Wilson, Comal and Hays are not
covered by the agreement due a 2004 outbreak of high pathogencity avian
influenza in Gonzalez County.

The United States has agreed to provide Mexico detailed information on
its influenza surveillance program and permit them to observe
surveillance activities first hand. Additionally, APHIS and SENASICA,
its Mexican counterpart, have agreed to hold a workshop in Mexico City
to explain the U.S. surveillance program to the Mexican poultry
industry.

The trade restrictions on fresh poultry, live birds and other poultry
products began after LPAI was discovered in several states in 2002‑2003.
The Mexican market for U.S. poultry and poultry products was more than
\$360 million in 2004.

[Title:]{.underline} Polar Modulation: An Alternative For Software
Defined Radio

[Abstract:]{.underline}

Although simple in principle, realizing a truly general \'radio\' part
of a software defined radio has proven elusive. Implementation
difficulties have arisen mainly from noise figure and circuit
nonlinearity effects. By changing the signal processing basis from
rectangular to polar coordinates, a completely different radio
architecture results that has no requirement for circuit linearity. The
noise floor of a polar radio appears to be dominated by phase noise, and
not traditional noise figure effects. Preliminary results are presented
which imply good application generality, particularly for the various
cellular radio standards used around the world.
