**USDA LABORATORY CONFIRMS PLUM POX VIRUS IN NEW YORK**

WASHINGTON, July 17, 2006\--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's
National Plant Germplasm and Biotechnology Laboratory in Beltsville,
Md., today confirmed the presence of the plum pox virus (PPV) on plum
tree leaf samples collected by New York State Department of Agriculture
and Markets (NYSDAM) officials.

As part of a seven-year survey for the virus, state and federal
agriculture officials collected 22 leaf samples from a 108-tree orchard
located in Niagara County, N.Y.\--within five miles of plum pox
eradication zones in Canada. The samples were sent to Cornell
University's diagnostic laboratory for testing, where researchers
obtained positive results.

The virus was first detected in Canada back in 2000. The plum pox strain
identified in New York is identical to the D strain of the virus found
in both Canada and Pennsylvania. The D strain of the virus is less
virulent than other strains, making it easier to contain.

NYSDAM's early discovery of PPV is credited to the department's active
surveys for plant pests and diseases. Survey specialists are currently
surveying a 5-mile radius surrounding the initial detection to determine
the extent of infestation. USDA will establish a cooperative eradication
program with the state of New York. The program will include conducting
extensive detection and delimiting surveys, establishing quarantine
areas where infestations are found, and the removal of infested orchards
and other host material within a buffer area of any infestation.

Plum Pox is a viral disease of stone fruit species that first appeared
in the United States in Pennsylvania in October 1999. The plant virus
does not pose any human health risks. Since the discovery, agriculture
officials there have successfully contained its spread. New York is only
the second state where plum pox has been detected.

PPV is the cause of a serious plant disease, affecting a number of
species, including peach, nectarine, apricot and plum. Several aphid
species can serve as carriers of the virus. The virus stays viable in
the aphid's mouthparts for a period of approximately one hour and most
aphids can generally transmit infection several hundred meters from the
initial source plant.

The finding of plum pox will not hinder the production or harvest of
stone fruit in Niagara County this year.

monkfish overfishing

the scandal plagued us dept of commerce has a plan to

continue overfishing of monkfish, as they have

overfished virtually every species in the ocean,

leaving our children and grandchildren a barren sea

for their futures. but this dept is so corrupt that

it allows it to continue - after all sin city

washington dc bureaucracy rules. they even alter the

population numbers so they can continue the

overfishing. we need a thorough clean out of the us

dept of commerce, which is entirely corrupt in my

opinion.

there should be zero carryover of das. there should be

no allowance of gill nets.

Adoption Regulations Docket Room\
SA-29, 2201 C Street, NW.\
Washington, DC 20520.

It has come to my attention that people who have completed an adoption
with an adoption agency are not included on the list of people who are
authorized to file a complaint against an adoption agency.  This must be
an oversight, but certainly is one that must be corrected. 

 

While in the process of an adoption many parents are afraid to file any
complaints out of fear that an agency will make it impossible to
complete the adoption.  Often these parents have already met their child
and are trying to bring the child home.  They are in a vulnerable state
and understandably need to act in the best interest of themselves and
their child vs. what is good for adoptive parents at large.  Only after
completing their adoption are they able to freely discuss issues they
had with their agency and file a formal complaint without fear of
retribution.

 

Please keep the best interest of adopting parents in mind and see to it
that this omission is corrected.  Thank you for you consideration.

**§36.4307 Joint loans**

\(a\) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this section, the prior
approval of the Secretary is required in respect to any loan to be made
to two or more borrowers who become jointly and severally liable, or
jointly liable therefor, and who will acquire an undivided interest in
the property to be purchased or who will otherwise share in the proceeds
of the loan, or in respect to any loan to be made to an eligible veteran
whose interest in the property owned, or to be acquired with the loan
proceeds, is an undivided interest only, unless such interest is at
least a 50 percent interest in a partnership. The amount of the guaranty
or insurance credit shall be computed in such cases only on that portion
of the loan allocable to the eligible veteran which, taking into
consideration all relevant factors, represents the proper contribution
of the veteran to the transaction. Such loans shall be secured to the
extent required by 38 U.S.C. Chapter 37 and the regulations concerning
guaranty or insurance of loans to veterans.

\(b\) Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (a) of this section,
the joinder of the spouse of a veteran-borrower in the ownership of
residential property shall not require prior approval or preclude the
issuance of a guaranty or insurance credit based upon the entire amount
of the loan. If both spouses be eligible veterans, either or both may,
within permissible maxima, utilize available guaranty or insurance
entitlement.

\(c\) For the purpose of determining the rights and the liabilities of
the Secretary with respect to a loan subject to paragraph (a) of this
section, credits legally applicable to the entire loan shall be applied
as follows:

\(1\) Prepayments made expressly for credit to that portion of the
indebtedness allocable to the veteran (including the gratuity paid
pursuant to former provisions of law), shall be applied to such portion
of the indebtedness. All other payments shall be applied ratably to
those portions of the loan allocable respectively to the veteran and to
the other debtors.

\(2\) Proceeds of the sale or other liquidation of the security shall be
applied ratably to the respective portions of the loan, such portion of
the proceeds as represents the interest of the veteran being applied to
that portion of the loan allocable to such veteran.

**HALLOWEEN PLANNER**

**SAMPLE LETTER TO THE EDITOR**

**393 words**

Dear Editor:

Halloween is one of the most festive and entertaining holidays of the
year for the entire family. Trick-or-treating, costume parties and
haunted houses all add to the fun of the Halloween weekend.

However, in recent years, Halloween has also become a time for
party-goers to drive while impaired, which can turn the festivities into
a real-life nightmare.

Since Halloween falls on a Monday this year, dedicated Halloween
partiers will be out in full force, beginning their partying the weekend
before. This makes the Halloween weekend a very dangerous time on our
nation's roads because of impaired drivers who fail to designate a sober
driver.\
\
In fact, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA), 53 percent of all highway fatalities at Halloween in 2003 were
alcohol-related \-- and 45 percent of the total fatalities involved a
drunk driver with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level of 0.08 or
higher \-- the legal limit in every state and the District of Columbia.\
\
Real-life Halloween nightmares are simple to avoid if you remember to
take a few important steps in planning for your Halloween weekend:

-   Be responsible and never drive impaired.

-   If you plan to drink, choose your sober driver before going out.

-   Once impaired, use mass transit, call a cab or ask a sober friend to
    get you home.

-   If all else fails, just stay where you are and sleep it off.

-   Always buckle up -- it's still your best defense against an impaired
    driver.

-   If you are hosting a Halloween party, make sure all of your guests
    leave with a sober driver.

Plan ahead. Do not fall into the age-old trap that "It will never happen
to me." It can happen. It has happened. It will happen.\
\
Statistics compiled by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration for 2004 show that nearly 13,000 people died in highway
crashes involving a driver or a motorcycle operator with an illegal
blood alcohol concentration level of 0.08 or higher. Drinking and
driving while impaired is simply not worth the risk of killing yourself
or someone else, or the hassles and expenses sure to come from a crash
or arrest.

Don't let your Halloween turn into a nightmare. Please plan ahead, be
responsible and always designate a sober driver before all Halloween
festivities. Remember, *Friends Don't Let Friends Drive Drunk*.

**USDA-NRCS OFFERS COST-SHARE ASSISTANCE**

**FOR REMOVAL OF DOWNED TIMBER**

Jackson, MS, March 7, 2006 - On December 30, 2005, President George W.
Bush signed into law the Defense Appropriations/Emergency Supplemental
Act. This Act authorizes funds for the Emergency Watershed Protection
Program to assist with the recovery efforts from hurricanes that
occurred in 2005.

This legislation expanded NRCS authority to reimburse non-industrial
forest landowners for costs associated with downed timber removal.
Mississippi NRCS has received the state allocation for landowner
assistance.

Funding will focus on risk reduction associated with wildfire. Eligible
sites are areas with a high risk for wildfire and associated smoke
concerns, such as near transportation corridors or near structures that
would be susceptible to burning.

Reimbursement will be provided to landowners based upon 75 percent
cost-share not to exceed \$150 per acre.

For more information on this program, please visit your local USDA-NRCS
Service Center located in your county or our website at
www.ms.nrcs.usda.gov.

**§4.42 Complete medical examination of injury cases.**

The importance of complete medical examination of injury cases at the
time of first medical examination by the Department of Veterans Affairs
cannot be overemphasized. When possible, this should include complete
neurological and psychiatric examination, and other special examinations
indicated by the physical condition, in addition to the required general
and orthopedic or surgical examinations. When complete examinations are
not conducted covering all systems of the body affected by disease or
injury, it is impossible to visualize the nature and extent of the
service connected disability. Incomplete examination is a common cause
of incorrect diagnosis, especially in the neurological and psychiatric
fields, and frequently leaves the Department of Veterans Affairs in
doubt as to the presence or absence of disabling conditions at the time
of the examination.

### Second-Day-Of-Issue Stamp Ceremony

### 

You are invited to attend a Second-Day-Of-Issue Stamp Cancellation
Ceremony to commemorate the Civil Rights series of stamps issued by the
U.S. Postal Service. The program is scheduled for Tuesday, November
8^th^ at the Tuskegee Municipal Complex at 10:00. The program should end
around noon. This series of stamps includes a stamp recognizing
Executive Order 9981, officially ending segregation in the United States
Armed Forces. This policy was facilitated through the achievements of
the Tuskegee Airmen.

Included will be a book-signing of a recently released handbook, From
Cubs to Hawks, which focuses on the Tuskegee Airmen Aircraft and the
people who flew them. Randy Johnson, the author, and Mildred Hemmons
Carter, who wrote the foreword, will be on hand for the signing.

Tuskegee Airmen will also be available to sign the cachets, and
dignitaries will be in attendance to share in honoring the Airmen.

Re: RIN 0991-AB48 -- "Provider Conscience Regulation"

Dear Secretary Leavitt:

As people of faith and conscience, we urge you NOT to release the
proposed Provider Conscience regulation as written that would allow
healthcare providers increased opportunities to refuse to
provide abortion and other reproductive health services to women. It
would severely threaten women\'s access to basic reproductive health
information and services and trample on the conscience of women acting
in the best interest of their families.

The proposed new regulation conflicts with our moral commitment to a
fair and just society that provides access to reproductive health
services for all Americans. It is well-documented that there is a severe
disparity in the health and health care of low-income and minority
populations. We must work to address this -- not enact measures that
further harm the neediest among us.

We live in a religiously pluralistic society, and as a nation we believe
in protecting religious expression and freedom. With regard to abortion
and contraception, this means we must accommodate both the physician who
objects to providing abortion services and the patient who wants and
need this service. A physician\'s objection to abortion must never
result in a woman being denied a service she wants, needs and is legally
and morally entitled to.

We support the accommodation of employees\' religious beliefs in the
workplace. But this regulation goes beyond honoring the providers'
conscience to constructing further obstacles to legal, medically sound
reproductive health services. In so doing, you are denying women their
sacred right to follow their conscience and make decisions according to
their own religious and moral beliefs.

Finalizing these rules would impose, through government mandate, a
narrow religious ideology and undermine the commitment of major
religious traditions to accessible reproductive healthcare. The
regulation disregards the needs of patients and is certain to sow
confusion about the rights and obligations of patients, doctors and
health care institutions throughout the U.S. health care system.

This regulation is an affront to religious and personal freedom, and we
urge you NOT to finalize the proposed regulation.

<http://www.nps.gov/gis/gps/aksogps/> (NPS-wide Intranet)

*GPS* -- Purchase a recommended Garmin GPS

*Digital Camera* -- A modern camera purchased within the last three
years

*GPS PhotoLink software* -- One of several software available. [A \$229
software purchased from
here](http://www.geospatialexperts.com/gpsphotolink.html)

*Cables:*

-   Cable to connect the GPS to PC

-   Cable/transfer card to move digital images to PC

**Steps: Here are the bare minimum setups to accomplish the task.**

[GPS: Set up as follows:]{.underline}

-   Turn on GPS outside. Initialize - Let stand for 20 minutes to
    collect almanac.

-   Set time to local time -- watch out for the switch to daylight
    savings time!

-   Set Interface to Garmin Protocol

-   Clear all active tracks and waypoints

-   Set TrackLog to Log at an interval (I prefer time set to 5 or so
    seconds)

-   Turn GPS to the page where you can see the time and date

[Digital Camera: Set up as follows:]{.underline}

-   Ensure date/ time is set correctly

-   Turn date/time **off** so that it is not burned onto photo

-   Check batteries

-   Turn on Camera and check things work ahead of time

-   Set resolution settings on camera as appropriate for job

**In the Field:**

-   GPS **must** be collecting an active tracklog when you do this next
    step. You must initiate tracklog

-   Take picture of the GPS screen showing the time and date. It may be
    best to use MACRO mode. This picture is critical, so be sure you can
    see the date and time clearly on the photo. A TIP: tilt the gps
    screen slightly away from you to minimize flash.

-   Now run around collecting pictures.

-   Track must be collecting when collecting pictures. You can turn GPS
    off / Camera off, but the GPS must be collecting tracks when
    collecting photos.

-   When done for the day, turn off GPS Track Log before returning to
    inside. DO NOT SAVE ACTIVE TRACK, but keep the active log available.

# **Back in the Office**

# Software: Start GPS PhotoLink and Follow the Wizard

-   Connect GPS to PC with Cable.

-   Transfer Digital Images from Camera to PC -- note where you put the
    images

-   Make sure you use the DATUM Tab and switch to NAD27 (excluding
    Aleutian Islands)

-   Make sure the time is set to (GMT -- 0900) Alaska and adjust for
    Daylight Savings time if between April and October of each year.

-   Follow next steps entering the time correctly on the photo of the
    GPS receiver.

-   On last step, be sure to select Create ESRI shapefiles and web.

Dilute acid biomass hydrolysates contain biomass degradation products
that inhibit cell growth and product formation. Overliming with calcium
hydroxide has been shown to be one of the most effective methods for
detoxifying the dilute acid hydrolysate for ethanol production. However,
the mechanism of overliming is not well understood. Carbon-13 nuclear
magnetic resonance (^13^C NMR) spectroscopy was used to elucidate the
functional groups involved in the overliming reaction. The ^13^C NMR
spectra showed that the overliming process removed aliphatic and
aromatic acids, and other aromatic and aliphatic compounds. Most
aliphatic acids were completely removed but trace amounts of the
aromatic carboxylic acids were still present in the spectrum. The
overliming caused about 3 ppm shift in the acetic acid signals in both
the aliphatic and carbonyl regions. This is the first time that ^13^C
NMR has been used to elucidate the overliming reaction.

**§4.75 General considerations for evaluating visual impairment.**

\(a\) *Visual impairment*. The evaluation of visual impairment is based
on impairment of visual acuity (excluding developmental errors of
refraction), visual field, and muscle function.

\(b\) *Examination for visual impairment*. The examination must be
conducted by a licensed optometrist or by a licensed ophthalmologist.
The examiner must identify the disease, injury, or other pathologic
process responsible for any visual impairment found. Examinations of
visual fields or muscle function will be conducted only when there is a
medical indication of disease or injury that may be associated with
visual field defect or impaired muscle function. Unless medically
contraindicated, the fundus must be examined with the claimant's pupils
dilated.

\(c\) *Service-connected visual impairment of only one eye*. Subject to
the provisions of 38 CFR 3.383(a), if visual impairment of only one eye
is service-connected, the visual acuity of the other eye will be
considered to be 20/40 for purposes of evaluating the service-connected
visual impairment.

\(d\) *Maximum evaluation for visual impairment of one eye*. The
evaluation for visual impairment of one eye must not exceed 30 percent
unless there is anatomical loss of the eye. Combine the evaluation for
visual impairment of one eye with evaluations for other disabilities of
the same eye that are not based on visual impairment (e.g.,
disfigurement under diagnostic code 7800).

\(e\) *Anatomical loss of one eye with inability to wear a prosthesis*.
When the claimant has anatomical loss of one eye and is unable to wear a
prosthesis, increase the evaluation for visual acuity under diagnostic
code 6063 by 10 percent, but the maximum evaluation for visual
impairment of both eyes must not exceed 100 percent. A 10-percent
increase under this paragraph precludes an evaluation under diagnostic
code 7800 based on gross distortion or asymmetry of the eye but not an
evaluation under diagnostic code 7800 based on other characteristics of
disfigurement.

\(f\) *Special monthly compensation*. When evaluating visual impairment,
refer to 38 CFR 3.350 to determine whether the claimant may be entitled
to special monthly compensation. Footnotes in the schedule indicate
levels of visual impairment that potentially establish entitlement to
special monthly compensation; however, other levels of visual impairment
combined with disabilities of other body systems may also establish
entitlement. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 1114 and 1155)
