**§4.10 Functional impairment.**

The basis of disability evaluations is the ability of the body as a
whole, or of the psyche, or of a system or organ of the body to function
under the ordinary conditions of daily life including employment.
Whether the upper or lower extremities, the back or abdominal wall, the
eyes or ears, or the cardiovascular, digestive, or other system, or
psyche are affected, evaluations are based upon lack of usefulness, of
these parts or systems, especially in self-support. This imposes upon
the medical examiner the responsibility of furnishing, in addition to
the etiological, anatomical, pathological, laboratory and prognostic
data required for ordinary medical classification, full description of
the effects of disability upon the person's ordinary activity. In this
connection, it will be remembered that a person may be too disabled to
engage in employment although he or she is up and about and fairly
comfortable at home or upon limited activity.

\[41 FR 11292, Mar. 18, 1976\]

**§4.13 Effect of change of diagnosis.**

The repercussion upon a current rating of service connection when change
is made of a previously assigned diagnosis or etiology must be kept in
mind. The aim should be the reconciliation and continuance of the
diagnosis or etiology upon which service connection for the disability
had been granted. The relevant principle enunciated in §4.125, entitled
"Diagnosis of mental disorders," should have careful attention in this
connection. When any change in evaluation is to be made, the rating
agency should assure itself that there has been an actual change in the
conditions, for better or worse, and not merely a difference in
thoroughness of the examination or in use of descriptive terms. This
will not, of course, preclude the correction of erroneous ratings, nor
will it preclude assignment of a rating in conformity with §4.7.

Verification of the NCEP Operational GFS Predictions for the
Stratosphere Circulation Anomalies in an Isentropic Potential Vorticity
Coordinate

Chul-Su Shin and Ming Cai

Department of Meteorology, Florida State University

The forecasts by the NCEP operational GFS model in the periods from
September 2005 to March 2006 and from September 2006 to March 2007 are
examined in the semi-Lagrangian Θ-PVLAT coordinate, using potential
vorticity as the meridional coordinate and potential temperature as the
vertical coordinate. The objective is to investigate how skillful are
the GFS forecasts for the extratropical stratosphere circulation
anomalies in the extended range beyond 1 week. Our analysis indicates
that the prediction skill gained by the GFS forecasts with respect to
the persistence forecasts in the stratosphere continuously increases
beyond 1 week whereas the gain of the forecasts for the tropospheric
anomalies by the GFS forecasts with respect to the persistent forecasts
peaks at about day 7 and degenerates very quickly after week 1.

Our analysis also indicates that the extra skill in the 2^nd^ week in
the extratropical stratosphere is due to the model's ability to capture
poleward propagating anomalies, which shown more clear in the
semi-Lagrangian Θ-PVLAT coordinate. It is seen that large amplitude
anomalies over the polar stratosphere mainly originate from the upper
levels in the tropics and it takes several weeks for them propagate into
high latitudes. Therefore, having the signal in low/mid latitudes to
begin with in the model initial state helps the model to predict the
polar stratosphere circulation anomalies beyond the traditional limit of
predictability by a dynamic model.

SECRETARY

May 25, 2006

Ms. Judy Jeffrey

Director of Education

Iowa Department of Education

Grimes State Office Building

East 14^th^ & Grand Streets

Des Moines, IA 50319-0146

Dear Ms. Jeffrey:

I am writing to acknowledge that staff members from the U.S. Department
of Education have spoken with officials from the Iowa Department of
Education (IDE) about the State's failure to adopt a rigorous State
assessment of subject knowledge and teaching skills in the basic
elementary curriculum for elementary teachers new to the profession.

The IDE has informed us that it will put in place the Praxis II
*Elementary Education: Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment* test or
the Praxis II *Elementary Education: Content Knowledge* test and that
elementary school teacher candidates graduating in the spring of 2007
will be required to pass the exam as a condition of being designated as
highly qualified. The State may choose to consider elementary school
teacher candidates who graduated from a State-approved teacher training
program in the spring of 2006, successfully completed their student
teaching, and passed the current version of the IDESTE as highly
qualified. It is our understanding that the IDE plans, at some point in
the future, to replace the Praxis II with a revised, validated version
of the Iowa Department of Education Student Teacher Evaluation (IDESTE),
a performance assessment designed to evaluate content knowledge and
teaching skills. The IDE may do so, but only if the revised IDESTE meets
the statutory requirements for the elementary school teacher test, which
the current version of the IDESTE does not.

The Department will place a condition on Iowa's ESEA Title I, Part A and
Title II, Part A grants as a result of the State's inability to
implement a rigorous State test of content knowledge before the FY 2006
grants are awarded on July 1, 2006. The conditions will remain in force
until such time as the IDE has successfully implemented the Praxis II
tests for elementary education teachers new to the profession. If the
State fully complies with this requirement, we do not anticipate
imposing any additional sanctions or penalties on the IDE regarding this
issue.

In addition, the incomplete data that the State has submitted to the
Department indicates that your State is unlikely to meet the 100 percent
HQT goal by the end of the current school year. The Department looks
forward to reviewing the revised plan you will submit in July that
details the specific steps you will take to reach the HQT goal in the
2006-07 school year and beyond.

> Sincerely,
>

**Effect of *Trichoderma* Endoglucanases on Secondary Fiber Properties**

Since the 1970\`s pulp and paper industry has been using several
biotechnological processes in bio-mechanical pulping, modification of
fiber properties, deinking and improving drainage. During paper
recycling pulp properties decline. The poor pulp quality could be
improved in an environmentally friendly way applying cellulases.
Although the enzymatic mechanism is not quite clear it seems that
endoglucanases have a main role in the quality improvement.
(Endoglucanases randomly attack the amorphous regions of cellulose
substrate, yielding mainly higher oligomers.)

Cellulose is not a homogenous material, there are crystalline and less
structured, so-called amorphous regions as well. In secondary fibers the
fines and fibrils that cause lower rate of drainage consist decisively
of amorphous cellulose. The aim of enzymatic treatment is to hydrolyse
fines and thus improve the drainage. Since amorphous cellulose is more
accessible it is not necessary to hydrolyse with the whole cellulase
system, endoglucanases may be effective.

Cellulases from fungal sources have a general structure, including a
catalytic domain and a cellulose-binding domain (CBD), which connects
into each other via a linker peptide region that is often heavily
glycosylated. The role of CBD is not well explored in cellulose
hydrolysis whereas in the hydrolysis the catalytic domain must also be
adsorbed**.** Some experiments confirmed the supposition that the role
of this domain is to bind to and loosen up crystalline cellulose.

In present work the effect of *Trichoderma reesei* endoglucanase
components were compared on the drainage of secondary fiber pulp. In
addition the significance of substrate binding domain was investigated
in case of EG I. The aim of the enzymatic treatment was to improve
drainage by 10-15% based on control without considerable deterioration
in strength properties. Commercial (EG III core, EG V core) and own
produced (EG I and EG I core) endoglucanases were investigated. The
enzymatic treatments were carried out under industrial conditions
concerning temperature, pH and reaction time. The drainage of pulp, air
permeability and the strength properties (tensile strength, tear
strength, burst strength) of the paper were determined.

I agree with the findings made in this Order, including the unauthorized
commercial operation and the premature transfer of control. I am
concerned, however, that the Commission's delay in action has rendered
us powerless to issue a fine. We need to act in a more timely fashion so
that the statute of limitations does not eviscerate our ability to
enforce our rules.

**Sharon and Richard Gibbs**

We met at Benny\'s Italian Restaurant in Roxbury, New York. I must add
that in fashion I was wearing a mini-skirt. We talked but then I went
back to the table with my friends. I later found out that after I left
he followed me. That was in the summer 1970. Two years later we were
married on February, 19, 1972, at Grand Gorge United Methodist Church in
Grand Gorge, New York. On July 31 1973 we had our first child Heather,
who is married to a navy pilot Jason Foster, and they gave us our first
Grandchild, Christopher, now age 11. Nathaniel was next born November
19, 1975. He and his wife Andrea have two children, Connor, age 6 and
Cassidy 3. Nate is also in the Navy but works for NASA. Our third child,
Rick, was born October 26, 1978 and has a beautiful daughter Ashley, who
is 7. He is also a Marine Corp veteran. We are so proud of all our
children and grandchildren. Each and everyone is a blessing.

 

 

Richard has always been a good provider for his family and a wonderful
husband. I can honestly say that he has seen me through many trials in
my life and has always stood beside me. Now it is my turn. Richard had
three mini strokes and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. It was a great
blow to him as he is a work-oriented person. We moved to Oak Ridge
Apartments in November of 2004. This is the greatest place. We are one
community of caring and it seems if someone needs something someone is
always there. The staff at Reality Resources are always kind and
considerate and if you need something just call. They are always ready
to help.

 

We live in a wonderful environment and we get together on special
occasions. It is just great. We live with Shania, our corgi, Grace, our
therapy dog, and Rock the parrot. This means a lot to us as our children
are in the military and we do not get to see them very often. So our
pets provide us companionship and company. They are like our kids. I can
only say how fortunate we are to have housing that is affordable and
very fortunate we have heat. We can always say live each day as it was
your last because no one is certain of tomorrow, but Richard and I have
each other, 34 years together, three wonderful children and four
blessings, our grandchildren.
NASA Headquarters computer users have access to a fully [automated data
backup](../documents/desktop_backup_auto.doc) and recovery function for
essential data and e-mail files. A scheduled backup service runs nightly
from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m. backing up selected files and folders for
Macintosh and Windows computers.

Macintosh users who do not leave their computers powered on and
connected to the network at NASA HQ overnight can take advantage of the
Desktop Backup service by manually starting a backup during the day.
However, there are several issues that need to be taken into
consideration when performing a manual backup.

**Considerations About Manual Backups:**

-   Although user initiated manual backups can be started at any time,
    backups should not occur more than one time in any 24-hour period.

-   The backup may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour depending
    on the amount of data being backed up and the current server load.
    During this time, the computer will be somewhat unresponsive.

-   ALL applications must be closed prior to starting a manual backup.
    This means the computer cannot be used for work during that time,
    including reading e-mails or surfing the Web.

-   Manual backups will not be recorded in the Desktop Backup Status
    application that users can use to check the status of the nightly
    automated backups.

-   Manual backups will backup the same files and folders as the nightly
    [automated backups](../documents/desktop_backup_auto.doc).

**Instructions for Starting Manual Backups**

[Macintosh Users]{.underline}:

1.  Open the Applications/Tivoli Storage Manager folder

2.  Double click on the Tivoli Storage Manager application icon.

3.  At the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager window, click on the BACKUP
    option.

4.  Click on the triangle next to the Local icon.

5.  Check the box next to Macintosh HD---the boxes below will fill in
    automatically. It is not possible or necessary to alter what is
    backed up.

6.  Click the Backup button and leave the backup to run. NOTE: Folders

S-Adenosylmethionine has an important role for DNA methylation and cell
signaling. S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase catalyzes the formation of
S-Adenosylmethionine fom L-methionine and ATP. The antibiotic of *St*.
*avermitilis,* avermectin, is a potent antiparasitic compound with a
broad spectrum of activity against nematode and arthropod parasites. The
antibiotic of *S. eythaea,* erythromycin, is of medical and commercial
importance. It is considered the archetype of macrolide antibiotic, as
evidence from extensive studies of its production. Recently, additional
effects of S-Adenosylmethionine were reported such as positive regulator
fort production of secondary metabolites. To determine the function of
S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase, the key enzyme to synthesize
S-Adenosylmethionine, we cloned S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase from *S.
erythraea* and *St. avermitilis*. Both S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase
nucleotides size were 1.2kb and molecular weight of deduced amino acid
sequence was calculated about 44kDa. At the molecular level, an
extremely high identity(\>95%)and homology(\>95%)was observed with
S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase of other *Streptomycetes*. For
characterization, it was purified through affinity chromatography using
Ni-NTA resin. We corroborated S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase activity
by TLC and HPLC. We confirmed S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase gene from
*S. erythraea* and *St. avermitilis.*

Members of the Panel:

I\'d like to go on record as being appalled at the comments by some on
your panel indicating \"no political will\" to replace the Income Tax.
OF COURSE there\'s political will!

I WILL continue to support whichever of my representatives supports
abolishing the 16th Constitutional Amendment (the change to the
Constitution that made it legal to withhold my earnings at the point of
a gun and spend them in any way the government saw fit).

And I WILL refuse to support whichever of my representatives continues
to interfere with serious consideration of a replacement for the Federal
Income Tax. I WILL not be satisfied with a \"flat tax.\" I WILL rest
only when the IRS and all Federal income withholding programs cease to
exist and are replaced by a sales/consumption tax.

OF COURSE there\'s political will! Get rid of the income tax. Abolish
the IRS. Let us keep the money we earn. Stop telling us that you know
better than we how to spend the money we earn. Take your hand out of my
wallet. Eliminate compliance costs amounting to billions of dollars per
year. Give a boost to the economy! Recommend the Fair Tax to the
President and to Congress.

Sincerely,

Paul Higby

**Purification, Analysis, and Structures of Avenanthramides from Oats:
Unique Components for Targeted Nutraceutical Applications**

Avenanthramides represent the principal component of the readily
bioavailable phenolics in oats and have been shown to display
antioxidant, antiatherogenic and anticancer activities. Recent interest
in the role of these unique bioactive phenolic constituents has
necessitated an in-depth evaluation of their structure in planta, their
extraction and quantitative analysis, and their physicochemical
properties. The inherent ease of auto-oxidation of these compounds and
the lack of suitable methods for the analytical and preparative-scale
purification of authentic avenanthramides have complicated further
progress in the elucidation of the potential role that these unique oat
phenolics may play in human health and nutrition. Methods developed for
the qualitative and quantitative analysis of avenanthramides by HPLC are
generally hampered by interference from co-extracted phenolics, saponins
and polar lipids. Accordingly, mild, efficient, scalable methods were
developed for the isolation and group separation of avenanthramides from
oat extracts and synthetic protocols. Following exhaustive extraction
with aqueous ethanol, group separation of the avenanthramides was
carried out by liquid chromatography on modified polysaccharide-based
media to give virtually pure avenanthramides. Identification of
individual avenanthramides was performed using HPLC-Diode array-MS/MS
analyses and confirmed by synthesis. Quantitative analysis was performed
by HPLC-UV using these standards. The techniques developed allow
reliable, scaleable recovery and analyses of over 30 different
avenanthramides in oats and oat products, and examples of the
applications will be presented.

The Moon possesses an extremely small tilt of its rotation axis relative
to the plane of its orbit. Near the poles impact craters and other
topographic lows are permanently shaded from the Sun. While lunar polar
temperatures have not yet been directly measured, thermal models show
maximum surface temperatures of 40 kelvins are likely common, and 25
kelvins is possible, potentially allowing cold trapping of volatiles.
There are many potential sources of lunar polar volatiles. These include
solar wind hydrogen\--with abundances enhanced by slow diffusion through
cold lunar mineral grains, comets, wet asteroids, IDPs, interstellar
molecular clouds, the Earth and the Moon itself. Emplacement mechanisms
are direct impact into the poles, and ballistic random walk of molecules
with trapping prior to escape. Loss mechanisms are dominated by Lyman
alpha ultraviolet radiation and micrometeorite vaporization and
remobilization. Preservation mechanisms are thermal diffusion into the
regolith where temperatures and diffusivities permit, burial by
macrometeorite impact, and chemical processing to hydrated minerals or
organics. This zoo of sources and processes suggests a complex and
highly interesting volatile deposit at the poles regardless of its
economic merits. Landed experiments that sample the polar regolith in
various ways are virtually certain to yield interesting results, and may
yield insights into the volatile history of the Earth-Moon system.
Treatment of Patellofemoral Disorders

Each case is unique but general goals of treatment for patellofemoral
(PF) disorders are to decrease pain and edema, increase strength, ROM
and function.

Biomechanics

1.  PF joint alignment

    -   patellar bracing with knee sleeve with patellar cutout/support

    -   patellar taping

    -   low level, prolonged medial patellar mobilization in no more
        than 20º of knee joint flexion

    -   ITB, hamstring, gastrocnemius and/or rectus femoris stretching
        based on ROM findings

2.  PF and/or LE alignment

-   Correct faulty foot mechanics with orthotics if there is a change in
    Q angle of greater than 5º between relaxed standing and standing in
    subtalar neutral

-   Patients with excessive foot supination (rigid foot) may benefit
    from orthotics to help increase shock absorption capabilities of
    foot to decrease ground reaction forces higher in kinetic chain

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Often need corrective surgery if conservative treatment fails. Rehab
    is conservative for first 6-8 weeks post-op. Treatment includes
    gentle PF mobilization, pain and edema control, sub-maximal
    isometrics. Occasionally, ROM is limited to 100º and is gradually
    increased 10º per week. Full ROM is then expected at 2 months.

Extensor Mechanism

-   Strengthen quads

-   No way to isolate VMO

-   Open chain exercise from 90-50º of flexion. Avoid open chain
    terminal knee extension and SLR, especially with patellar
    instability (decreased bony and muscular stabilization in this range
    -- risk of subluxation)

-   Closed chain exercise from 50-0º of flexion

-   Open vs. closed chain ROM based on reducing joint compression forces

-   EMG biofeedback for quadriceps firing

General Strengthening -- may need to strengthen gluteus maximus and/or
gluteus medius posterior if strength deficits or gait abnormalities
exist

General treatments for pain and edema

-   Modalities (e-stim)

-   Cryotherapy

\- if symptoms do not respond in 2-3 weeks with treatment, patient may
need ortho referral or MRI to rule out articular cartilage damage
