The previous talks in this session will describe requirements in oat
genomics to address new opportunities and challenges. This talk will
focus on new and past efforts in oat research that address some of these
requirements. In particular, we will present results of a recent effort
to develop a toolbox of DArT (Diversity Array Technology) markers, and
to integrate these markers into the current genomic toolbox for oat.
These new markers have provided an opportunity to revise and improve the
Kanota x Ogle hexaploid map, to characterize a diverse panel of
varieties of global origin, and to identify new sequences for use in
second-generation marker development. They will provide excellent
opportunities to integrate genomic information from diverse research
efforts, and to apply this information toward molecular breeding.
Because DArT markers can be scored economically in high-throughput
format, they show good promise for use in association mapping, bulked
segregant analysis, and marker-assisted backcrossing. Ongoing and future
efforts to incorporate DArT markers into new toolbox applications will
be described, including the mapping of these markers in Ogle x TAM0-301,
assignment to cytogenetic stocks or chromosome-specific libraries, and
integration of multiple linkage maps into a single consensus map.
Efforts will be made to incorporate material from the open discussion
that will take place the previous day, and to encourage input regarding
collective needs and opportunities of the international oat community.
# Field Tests of Hybrid Wireless Location Technologies

Abstract:

The paper describes hybrid methods combining network-based and
handset-based location technologies to enable seamless quality of
location services. No single technology provides both high accuracy and
high yield in all possible environments, including urban, suburban,
rural, outdoor and indoor.

However, field trial results show that combinations of Wireless location
Signatures (WLS) and Assisted-GPS (A-GPS), using joint position
estimation, can provide nearly ubiquitous and extremely consistent
location performance. Field trial results on GSM networks in various
environments are presented to illustrate the advantages of hybrid
calculation as well as tradeoffs in system performance. Such a hybrid
combination has the advantage of providing initial location service for
the entire handset customer base, then later building capabilities as
GPS handsets penetrate the market. The hybrid methods can be deployed
independently to optimize performance, speed time to market and reduce
costs. Hybrid techniques also provide unique

opportunities for self calibration and performance verification, well

beyond what is possible with a single solution. These hybrid
combinations for emergency and location-aware services reflect the
growing trend towards interoperability, where multiple location
technologies coexist and cooperate within networks.

The presenter will be Martin Feuerstein, Chief Technology Officer,
Polaris Wireless (www.polariswireless.com

(EHRP) Instructional Letter***

Number: EHRP05-09

Date: April 17, 2005

Subject: Multiple Appointments and Psuedo SSN's

\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_

**Purpose**

The conversion of the HHS payroll system to the Defense Finance and
Accounting Service (DFAS) on April 17, 2005 will require some changes in
the processing of multiple appointments. This letter provides
information on these changes in processing.

Upon conversion to DFAS, EHRP will use the employee (empl) record number
to identify the number of appointments the employee is on and the system
will automatically add the employee record number when concurrent hires
are made. However, since the CIDB and some of the other interfaces that
the agencies rely on to update their systems will still be looking for
the benefit record number, the users will still be expected to complete
the benefit record number.

DFAS wants the true SSN for the employee's first appointment and uses a
pseudo SSN for all concurrent appointments. The pseudo SSN is a
constructed number that you will not see in EHRP but will appear on the
reports received from DFAS and in myPay.

The following logic is used to construct the pseudo SSN:

The first digit is an 8

The next six digits are the last six digits of the emplid

The last 2 digits are the empl record number

For example,

> Emplid 00009259 has 2 appointments -- 1 with empl record 0 and one
> with empl record 2. The SSN for the employee record 0 would be their
> true SSN. The pseudo SSN for the empl record 2 would be 800925902.

An employee should only have one appointment per CAN number. DFAS will
create a record on its database for each appointment that the employee
has. If the employee works on more than one appointment during a pay
period they will receive separate payments for each appointment.
However, the W-2 will reflect the combined earnings from all
appointments for the tax year.

myPay will have a separate record for each employee. The employee will
receive a PIN letter for each appointment since each will have a
different SSN. When updating they will need to make sure that each
record is updated. For, example if an employee has two appointments and
wants to change their direct deposit through myPay they will have to
change it for both appointments.

A report will be sent to the agencies after we have converted to DFAS so
that the HR Offices will have the SSN and pseudo SSN's that DFAS
received on the conversion file. If you have any questions, please
contact Marie King on 301-504-3115 or Theresa Lewis on 301-504-3136.

For further assistance or for questions regarding the information in
this letter, please contact the HRS Help Desk at 301-504-3000.

Public Safety Managment Program kicked off January 2004.  The management
and leadership of public safety personnel, whether in law enforcement,
fire service, emergency medical services, emergency telecommunications,
or corrections, have more commonalties than differences. Those common
principles of management and leadership will be emphasized during the
program in a way that allows for greater collaboration.

The adult learning model emphasizes integrating the participant's
background and experiences with new ideas and perspectives. Building
upon these life experiences allows for quicker and deeper learning with
greater impact upon both the individual and the organization.

[My hopes and expectations for conference:]{.underline}

1.  Since our program is new, I would like to learn about the
    experiences of others starting a new program. 

2.  I would like to identify as many resources possible. 

3.  We are also going to start a distance education alternative, so I
    would like to visit with others concerning their experiences. 

4.  I would like to visit about the intersection of public safety
    responses and emergency management responses.

5.  I would like help in developing a course on emergency management
    designed for 1st responders. 

6.  Information about any grants or tuition assistance for students.

**§21.284 Reentrance into a rehabilitation program.**

\(a\) *Reentrance into rehabilitation to the point of employability
following a determination of rehabilitation.* A veteran who has been
found "rehabilitated" under provisions of §21.283 may be provided an
additional period of training or services only if the following
conditions are met:

\(1\) The veteran has a compensable service-connected disability and
either;

\(2\) Current facts, including any relevant medical findings, establish
that the veteran's service-connected disability has worsened to the
extent that the effects of the service-connected disability considered
in relation to other facts precludes him or her from performing the
duties of the occupation for which the veteran previously was found
rehabilitated; or

\(3\) The occupation for which the veteran previously was found
rehabilitated under Chapter 31 is found to be unsuitable on the basis of
the veteran's specific employment handicap and capabilities. (Authority:
38 U.S.C. 3101(a))

\(b\) *Reentrance into a program of independent living services
following a determination of rehabilitation. A* finding of
rehabilitation following a program of independent living services may
only be set aside, and an additional period of independent living
services provided, if the following conditions are met:

\(1\) Either:

\(i\) The veteran's condition has worsened and as a result the veteran
has sustained a substantial loss of independence; or

\(ii\) Other changes in the veteran's circumstances have caused a
substantial loss of independence; and

\(2\) The provisions of §21.162 pertaining to participation in a program
of independent living services are met. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3109)

\(c\) *Reentrance into rehabilitation to the point* of *employability
during a period* of *employment services.* A finding of rehabilitation
to the point of employability by VA may be set aside during a period of
employment services and an additional period of training and related
services provided, if any of the following conditions are met:

\(1\) The conditions for setting aside a finding of rehabilitation under
paragraph (a) of this section are found;

\(2\) The rehabilitation services originally given to the veteran are
now inadequate to make the veteran employable in the occupation for
which he or she pursued rehabilitation;

\(3\) Experience during the period of employment services has
demonstrated that employment in the objective or field for which the
veteran was rehabilitated to the point of employability should not
reasonably have been expected at the time the program was originally
developed; or

\(4\) The veteran, because of technological change which occurred
subsequent to the declaration of rehabilitation to the point of
employability, is no longer able:

\(i\) To perform the duties of the occupation for which he or she
trained, or in a related occupation; or

\(ii\) To secure employment in the occupation for which he or she
trained, or in a related occupation. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 3117)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Regulators Issue Common Form for

Charter and Federal Deposit Insurance Applications

NR 2002-22

March 11, 2002

To promote consistency and reduce regulatory burden, the Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation issued a uniform application form
for a charter and federal deposit insurance.

Effective immediately, the "Interagency Charter and Federal Deposit
Insurance Application" form will be used to apply for a national bank or
federal savings association charter and for federal deposit insurance.
The agencies also worked closely with the Conference of State Bank
Supervisors, and it is expected that most state banking agencies will
use the form as part of their charter application packages. The new form
will eliminate duplicative information requests by consolidating into
one uniform document the reporting requirements of the regulatory
agencies.

The new form is part of an ongoing effort by the regulatory agencies to
simplify procedures, eliminate duplicative or outmoded policies, and
reduce regulatory burden on financial institutions. In prior years, the
agencies have issued four other common forms to promote uniformity.

A copy of the final form is available from any of the agencies or on the
Internet at
[http://www.occ.treas.gov](http://www.occ.treas.gov/)/corpapps/forms.htm;
