On June 1, 2000, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)
published jointly with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, and the Office of
Thrift Supervision, a new regulation (12 CFR Part 40) to implement
privacy provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act. These provisions
generally restrict the ability of financial institutions to transfer
nonpublic personal information about consumers to nonaffiliated third
parties, and require financial institutions to provide certain
privacy-related notices to consumers.

Attached is a copy of the final rule as it appeared in the *Federal
Register*. Also attached is a summary of the final rule that the OCC has
prepared to assist national banks in their compliance efforts.

**Project's Overall Design**

The South Carolina Lieutenant Governor's Office on Aging, the South
Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control, and its
partners plan to implement evidence-based disease prevention programs
with the goals of increasing the quality of and years of life for
seniors with chronic diseases or with fears of falling and developing
and sustaining an infrastructure of partnerships to embed the Stanford
*Chronic Disease Self-Management Program* (CDSMP) and the *Matter of
Balance* (MOB) program in state health and long-term care systems.

The objectives are to:

-   Implement the CDSMP in three geographic regions

-   Expand the MOB to one new region

-   Train group leaders to conduct these interventions

-   Conduct workshops in three regions targeting older adults,
    especially underserved groups

-   Evaluate these programs in terms of changes in behavior, health
    status, and health utilization, as well as their fidelity to the
    original program design and research outcomes

-   Convene local partners and provide leadership, consultation and
    ongoing support to them

-   Develop and sustain commitment of funds and resources from public
    and private sectors

**Target Population**

Adults over age 60 with at least one chronic disease including
racial/ethnic minorities in rural and underserved communities

**Anticipated Outcomes**

-   CDSMP participants will show increased self-confidence; improved
    health status; and increased self-management behaviors

-   MOB participants will demonstrate a reduced fear of falling and
    increased mobility

-   Increase in the number of evidence-based intervention programs in
    the state

-   Reductions in health care utilization and costs

**Evaluation**

The State Evaluation Team plans to meet quarterly to assess program
implementation and progress, identify and address successes and
barriers, and to revise program development, if necessary.

**Involvement of Community-Based Organizations**

AAAs, faith-based organizations, health care providers, health plans,
health networks and local non-profit organizations.

# Alternate Names

# needle & thread grass, needleandthread, *Stipa comata*

## Uses

Needle and thread is grazed readily by all livestock, especially in
early spring and late fall. It cures well on the stem and provides good
forage in fall and winter.

## Status

Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural
Resources for this plant's current status, such as, state noxious status
and wetland indicator values.

## Description

Grass Family (Poacae). Needle and thread is a native, cool‑season,
perennial bunch grass. It ranges in height from 1 to 4 feet. It has
narrow basal leaves with the blade usually rolled inward, 3 to 12 inches
long. Leaves along the stem are shorter and wider than the basal leaves.
The seedhead is an open panicle 5 to 10 inches long that is loosely
spreading with 1‑flowered spikelets. Each seed is 3/8 inch long. The
lemma has a slender awn usually 4 to 5 inches long, sometimes 9 inches.
Part of the awn next to the seed is tightly twisted and covered with
fine soft hair. The awn tip is rough and usually straight.

# 

*Distribution*: For current distribution, please consult the Plant
Profile page for this species on the PLANTS Web site.

# Management

Periodic grazing deferments of at least 90 days and proper grazing use
allow this grass to make maximum production and keep it in balance with
associated grasses. To prevent seed from injuring sheep and
contaminating wool, remove sheep for 2 to 3 weeks until seed ripen and
fall to the ground.

# 

# Establishment

It grows in the early spring and in the late fall if moisture is
available. It produces an abundance of basal leaves, which stay green
during most seasons. It reproduces from seed and is primarily adapted to
sandy or gravelly loam soils.

## Cultivars, Improved and Selected Materials (and area of origin) 

Please contact your local NRCS Field Office.

# Business Rules

We are also providing a complete set of the Restated Business Rules in
two files, a MS Word file (.doc) and a comma delimited file (.csv). The
MS WORD (.doc) file is organized into two sections. Section 1 contains
rules with severity \"Reject\" and \"Reject and Stop\" and Section 2
contains rules with severity \"Alert\". The rules in the comma separated
file are not organized into any particular order since they can be
imported into a database and manipulated as desired.

It is important to note that business rules with a severity level of
"Alert" are provided in the Restated Business Rules documents; however,
they will not be implemented in Release 1. They will be implemented in a
future release. These rules will be posted under Other Documents at:
<http://www.irs.gov/taxpros/providers/article/0,,id=97626,00.html>.

If you have any questions, please feel free to share them with the

**DOE Manager Recognized for a Lifetime of Working to Spread Renewable
Energy Around World**

U.S. Department of Energy Golden Field Office Manager Frank Stewart has
made visits to such nations as Nigeria, Mozambique, South Africa and
Ghana to advise governments on how using renewable energy technologies
can meet some of their enormous electricity needs. On one of those
trips, wielding pliers and a hammer, he actually helped install a
solar-powered water purification system.

Recently, the Denver Chapter of the American Association of Blacks in
Energy (AABE) honored Stewart with a \"Colorado Energy Pioneer\" award.
The award recognizes individuals for their sustained contributions to
the economic and educational development of African-Americans.

Joe Rogers, Colorado lieutenant governor, praised the award recipients.
\"You were prepared and determined men of integrity and vision as you
ventured into uncharted waters more than 20 years ago,\" he said. Rogers
also commended the honorees for making huge sacrifices as energy
entrepreneurs and professionals, and for daring to provide employment,
education and economic benefits to African-Americans.

Stewart, a federal employee for more than 25 years, presently serves on
a number of state, national and international advisory groups. He has
also served in various executive roles for U.S. delegations, including
traveling to Rome, Cote d\'Ivoire, India and Botswana. In 1996, he led
the delegation that concluded the first Memorandum of Agreement between
the U.S. and Uganda.

Prior to his work in Golden, Stewart worked for DOE in Washington, D.C.,
where he served as a deputy assistant secretary in the Office of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy, directing grant programs and providing
technical assistance to state and localities. Among these programs were
the Institutional Conservation Program, State Energy Conservation
Program, Weatherization Assistance Program and Inventions and
Innovations Program.

Stewart also served for a time as Acting Assistant Secretary of the
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

In 1988, he was named Energy Executive of the Year at the World Energy
Engineering Congress. The year before that Stewart won the annual
Appreciation Award from the National Association of State Energy
Officials.

As the primary field agent for DOE\'s Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, the Golden Field Office is responsible for promoting
the development and commercialization of energy efficiency and renewable
energy technologies by working with industry and administering the
management and operating contract for the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory.

The Argonne- and EDSEP, Inc.-developed technology is designed to provide
a cleaner, cheaper and smarter approach to product desalting -- removing
salt impurities and other byproducts from finished products.

Each year, industry uses millions of pounds of acid and base chemicals
to desalt products. Efforts to replace these processes -- which can
pollute groundwater and adversely affect human health -- with
environmentally benign processes have been thwarted by high costs and
technical inefficiencies.

![](media/image3.jpeg){width="3.375in" height="2.7881944444444446in"}The
process of removing low concentrations of salt impurities from their
products is an energy-intensive and costly step in the chemical,
agriprocessing, water conditioning, and environmental remediation
industries. The new electrodeionization process developed by Argonne and
EDSEP combines the selectivity of the current commercial technology (ion
exchange columns) with the efficiency of electrodialysis.

The resulting hybrid process eliminates the need for acid and base
chemicals for column regeneration. The Argonne/EDSEP process matches the
performance of the current commercial ion exchange technology, while
reducing chemical use by approximately 90 percent, reducing waste
streams by more than half, and limiting product loss to less than 0.1
percent.

Electrodeionization uses electricity to replace ions rather than the
acids and bases used in traditional ion exchange. This approach enables
simultaneous desalination and resin regeneration. In Argonne/EDSEP EDI,
the resin (the active component in ion exchange columns) is molded into
a porous, flexible wafer that facilitates capture and removal of the
salt while purifying the desired sugar product.

Developers are Michael Henry, Paula Moon, Yupo Lin, Carl Landahl, James
R. Frank, and Seth Snyder, all of Argonne, Shih-Perng Tsai, formerly of
Argonne, and Rathin Datta and Dennis Burke of EDSEP, Inc., Mount
Prospect, Ill.

Argonne's research was funded by the Department of Energy (DOE), Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Office of Industrial Technologies,
Chemicals Program and Agriculture Program.

Widespread oceanic anoxia is a recurrent feature of Earth history.
Euxinic intervals, however, are less well understood and have escaped
quantitative interpretation. Previous back-of-the-envelope calculations
demonstrate that the oft-invoked stratified ocean, with euxinic deep
waters overlain by oxygenated surface waters, would have been only
conditionally stable. Above a threshold concentration ratio of H~2~S in
the deep ocean to O~2~ in the atmosphere, the chemocline rises to the
air-sea interface and H~2~S escapes to the atmosphere. Atmospheric
photochemical modeling shows that realistically large H~2~S fluxes to
the atmosphere could have exceeded the atmosphere's capacity for
oxidative destruction of the H~2~S, allowing H~2~S concentrations to
increase abruptly to toxic levels, perhaps contributing to the Late
Devonian and end-Permian mass extinctions (Kump et al., 2005, *Geology*
33, 397--400).

Initial evaluation of this hypothesis has involved a more sophisticated
analysis of the oceanic threshold for chemocline upward excursion using
*Genie* ([www.genie.ac.uk](http://www.genie.ac.uk/)), an
energy-moisture-balance atmosphere model coupled to a 3-D,
non-eddy-resolving, frictional geostrophic model. *Genie* can take long
time steps while capably simulating the large-scale circulation and
biogeochemistry of the ocean. Several multimillennial simulations of the
Late Permian ocean state have been conducted to identify thresholds and
explore the spatial patterns of surface-water euxinia. Significant
ocean-atmosphere fluxes of H~2~S result from modest (many-fold)
increases in the ocean's nutrient (phosphate) content, even at modern
atmospheric oxygen levels. We suspect that subsequent data collection
and analysis will show that H~2~S oceanic eruptions were a common
feature of anoxic oceans in Earth history.
