**§3.305 Direct service connection; peacetime service before January 1,
1947.**

\(a\) *General*. The basic considerations relating to service connection
are stated in §3.303. The criteria in this section apply only to
disabilities which may have resulted from service other than in a period
of war before January 1, 1947.

\(b\) *Presumption of soundness*. A peacetime veteran who has had active
continuous service of 6 months or more will be considered to have been
in sound condition when examined, accepted and enrolled for service,
except as to defects, infirmities or disorders noted at the time
thereof, or where evidence or medical judgment, as distinguished from
medical fact and principles, establishes that an injury or disease
preexisted service. Any evidence acceptable as competent to indicate the
time of existence or inception of the condition may be considered.
Determinations based on medical judgment will take cognizance of the
time of inception or manifestation of disease or injury following
entrance into service, as shown by proper service authorities in service
records, entries or reports. Such records will be accorded reasonable
weight in consideration of other evidence and sound medical reasoning.
Opinions may be solicited from Department of Veterans Affairs medical
authorities when considered necessary.

\(c\) *Campaigns and expeditions*. In considering claims of veterans who
engaged in combat during campaigns or expeditions satisfactory lay or
other evidence of incurrence or aggravation in such combat of an injury
or disease, if consistent with the circumstances, conditions or
hardships of such service will be accepted as sufficient proof of
service connection, even when there is no official record of incurrence
or aggravation. Service connection for such injury or disease may be
rebutted by clear and convincing evidence to the contrary.

**Backfill Team**

(Reducing Vacant Space in Government Buildings with Backfill Tenants)

**U.S. General Services Administration**

**Public Buildings Service**

**Great Lakes Region**

GSA\'s Great Lakes Region formed a team to reduce the amount of vacant
space in government owned buildings in one of its Property Management
Centers (PMC). The backfill team was comprised of representatives from
the Office of Portfolio Management, the Property and Realty Services
Office, and the PMC.

The team initially identified potential backfill tenants based upon
lease expirations and the square footage requirements. The team then
matched this information against pockets of vacant space in government
owned buildings in the vicinity.

The team is negotiating with 3 agencies to backfill 40,000 square feet
of vacant space in the Minton-Capehart Federal Building and the U.S.
Courthouse, both of which are in Indianapolis, IN.

**§3.458 Veteran's benefits not apportionable.**

Veteran's benefits will not be apportioned:

\(a\) Where the total benefit payable to the disabled person does not
permit payment of a reasonable amount to any apportionee.

\(b\) Where the spouse of the disabled person has been found guilty of
conjugal infidelity by a court having proper jurisdiction.

\(c\) For purported or legal spouse of the veteran if it has been
determined that he or she has lived with another person and held herself
or himself out openly to the public to be the spouse of such other
person, except where such relationship was entered into in good faith
with a reasonable basis (for example trickery on the part of the
veteran) for the spouse believing that the marriage to the veteran was
legally terminated. No apportionment to the spouse will thereafter be
made unless there has been a reconciliation and later estrangement.

\(d\) Where the child of the disabled person has been legally adopted by
another person, except the additional compensation payable for the
child.

\(e\) Where a child enters the active military, air, or naval service,
any additional amount will be paid to the veteran unless such child is
included in an existing apportionment to an estranged spouse. No
adjustment in the apportioned award will be made based on the child's
entry into service.

\(f\) (1) For the spouse, child. father or mother of a disabled veteran,
where forfeiture was declared prior to September 2, 1959, if the
dependent is determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs to have
been guilty of mutiny, treason, sabotage, or rendering assistance to an
enemy of the United States or its allies.

\(2\) For any dependent of a disabled veteran, or surviving spouse where
forfeiture of benefits by a person primarily entitled was declared after
September 1, 1959, by reason of fraud, treasonable acts, or subversive
activities. (Authority: 38 U.S.C. 6103(b); 6104(c); 6105(a))

\(g\) Until the estranged spouse of a veteran files claim for an
apportioned share. If there are any children of the veteran not in his
or her custody an apportionment will not be authorized unless and until
a claim for an apportioned share is filed in their behalf.

"Advancing Near-field Microscopy"

**Derek Nowak and Erik J. Sánchez**

Portland State University

Physics Department

1719 SW 10^th^ Ave, Room 246

Portland, OR 97201

**ABSTRACT**

Recent advances in aperture-less near-field optical microscopy (ANSOM)
allow unprecedented optical and spectroscopic (fluorescence and Raman)
resolution on the scale of 20-30nm. The key behind this technique is the
probe geometry, incident light polarization orientation and type of
illumination (two - photon excitation (TPE)). The key behind the high
optical spatial resolution is the creation of an electric field
enhancement (*f*) between the specimen and the probe apex. Utilizing a
3D Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) technique for the modeling of
tip shapes coupled with the use of a dual-beam Focused Ion Beam (FIB),
it has been possible to design tips with high electric field enhancement
factors in order to achieve ultra-high resolution spectroscopic detail.
This geometrical optimization has seen little investigation. Up to now,
ion beams and chemical etching techniques have been employed to create
different probe geometries. These two methods provide good
reproducibility and sharp apexes, but are limited in creation of the
overall end probe diameters to nominally 10-30nm. This work investigates
the possibility of utilizing a method for creating more favorable
geometries for achieving a higher spatial resolution. This involves the
fabrication of probes through the extraction of Gilbert-Taylor (G-T)
cone geometries by high field extraction, which can achieve \<10nm end
diameters. Utilizing FDTD, the potential field enhancement factors of
the G-T geometry are determined.

June 26, 2006

The Honorable Samuel W. Bodman

Secretary of Energy

1000 Independence Avenue, SW

Washington, DC 20585-1000

Dear Secretary Bodman:

The Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board (Board) has been informed
that the Department of Energy (DOE) is taking steps to realign the DOE
Office of Environment, Safety and Health (EH) into a newly created
entity. While the Board is not commenting on the proposed
reorganization, the Board is concerned that safety functions currently
performed by EH could be omitted or transferred to offices without the
requisite technical expertise to effectively carry out their new
responsibilities. As the Board noted in Recommendation 2004-1,
*Oversight of Complex, High-Hazard Nuclear Operations*, even redundant
safety functions currently performed by more than one organization must
be carefully evaluated to determine if they are providing important
defense-in-depth before they are eliminated.

The Board also stated in Recommendation 2004-1, when referring to
proposed modifications to DOE and the National Nuclear Security
Administration (NNSA) organizational structure, that "The Board needs to
be sure that any fundamental reorganization does not degrade nuclear
safety, and that the likelihood of a serious accident, facility failure,
construction problem, or nuclear incident will not be increased as a
result of well-intentioned changes." This also applies to the proposed
EH reorganization.

Therefore, if you decide to reorganize in this area, the Board would
find it useful to be provided with a crosswalk on where the EH safety
responsibilities will reside, the technical capabilities of that office
to perform those responsibilities, and any responsibilities that will
not be relocated to another office.

Sincerely,

***A. J. Eggenberger***

  Total                         4,874,059
  ----------------------------- -----------------------------------------

During the month of December 2004, GASC purchased 60,000 MT of American
SRW wheat at a reported price of \$138.25 and 120,000 MT of wheat from
France at a reported price \$144.14 per MT (FOB) for delivery during the
last quarter of January 2005.

According to wheat traders, private sector importers continue to import
more from Russia and Ukraine as a result of their lower prices. It is
reported that during the months of November and December, the private
sector imported 145,000 MT and 318,800 MT of Russian wheat at reported
prices \$162 and \$159 per MT C&F, respectively. In addition, the
private sector imported 26,400 MT from Ukraine at a reported price of
\$158 per MT C&F in November. They also imported 53,834 MT in December
from Ukraine at a reported price of \$ 155 per MT C&F.

***Principles of Change Management***

1.  **Change is seldom easy.** Therefore, we need to prepare ourselves
    for it and be as open and flexible as we can.

2.  **People don't resist change as much as they resist being changed.**
    Try to force people to change, and they dig in their heels. It is
    better to involve people in every step of a change effort and get
    their cooperation.

3.  **Change is easier to handle if we understand the history behind the
    change.** If people know the reason behind the change, they may be
    more open to acceptance of it.

4.  **Unless things change, they remain the same.** As long as people do
    things the same way, they will get the same results. One definition
    of insanity is doing things the same way but expecting different
    results. To make improvements, people have to be willing to make
    changes.

5.  **Change would be easy if it didn't involve people.** Any change to
    an organization involves people. Therefore, maximum communication
    with people is a priority in any change.

6.  **Emotional acceptance is necessary for change.** Change requires
    creative people to successfully implement it. These people must
    successfully convince others of the need to change. Change happens
    because a group of people commit to it, not because it is a
    rational, logical process.

7.  **Change is accepted slowly.** People need time to warm up to and
    accept change. They need to experiment with it to see how it will
    affect them.

8.  **Change must be anchored.** Groups on the cutting edge of change
    often feel isolated. They need support and guidance to feel anchored
    to the direction and mission of the company.

(These principles are paraphrased from [The Team Handbook]{.underline},
Joiner Associates Inc., 1996)

The ORO Facilitator program is available to assist you in implementing
these Principles of Change Management as well as other organizational
development needs (see Sidebar).

Colleagues:

For some time now, Hal Evans has been asking to be formally removed
from his responsibilities in managing the full Run IIb trigger upgrade
at WBS Level 2.  He has many other commitments to tend to: other
portions of the Run IIb upgrade, the IIa detector/trigger, physics
analysis, and at his university. He, Darien, and I have all agreed that
he does not have the time to adequately fulfill all of these
responsibilities and that, of all his commitments, it is this position
from which he should be relieved.

Hal was instrumental in crafting the trigger upgrade from its inception,
and has done an enormous amount of excellent work in helping us get
where we are. As many of you know, along with Maris Abolins and Patrick
LeDu, he is the WBS Level 3 manager of the Level 1 Calorimeter Trigger
upgrade, a position that he very much wants to retain. Darien and I are
both extremely pleased to have Hal continue on in this capacity, and we
foresee no loss in his duty cycle in this role.

Additionally, I\'ve asked Paul Padley to replace Hal as co-manager of
the trigger system at WBS Level 2 with Darien, and he has agreed. Paul
brings much experience in developing and fabricating trigger and
front-end elements for large experiments, and to the management of
related systems from, most recently, his participation on CMS. We are
fortunate to have him aboard. I am certain he will be extremely
effective in many crucial ways in helping to deliver and commission
technically sound trigger elements in a timely, cost-effective
manner...not at all a trivial task.

Again, my thanks to Hal for helping to lay the groundwork for the entire
trigger sub-project, and the Level 1 Calorimeter Trigger upgrade in
particular -- I believe it's critical to the success of this sub-system
that he remain deeply involved, and I'm very pleased that he's staying
on to see it through. And my thanks to Paul for joining Darien, and
taking on this considerable and challenging role. As many of you close
to the upgrade are appreciating, the next few years will be very hectic
-- maintaining experienced personnel at all levels will be absolutely
essential in order to meet the highly constrained Run IIb goals. The
addition of Paul to the lineup is a clear and positive step toward
further strengthening an already very capable Run IIb project team.

> Thanks --

Jon

**[TRIGR Protocol Synopsis]{.underline}**

This study is based on a pilot study (242 increased HLA risk newborns),
which indicated 40-60% reductions in the hazard ratios of the
development of T1D risk-associated antibodies (p\<.05 for ICA and ≥1
antibody). TRIGR is a randomized, double-blind, primary intervention
trial in newborn first-degree relatives of TID subjects with increased
risk HLA genotypes. It compares weaning to extensively hydrolyzed *vs.*
standard cow milk (CM) formulas - the most common first dietary exposure
to intact (antigenic) foreign proteins. Subjects receive breast milk
and/or one study formula during the 6-8 months intervention period with
a minimum formula exposure of 2 months. Breast feeding is encouraged,
and power calculations allowing for 10% exclusive breast feeding and a
drop-out rate of 20% require enrollment of 2,032 subjects from 5,806
newborns screened for risk HLA alleles. Blood samples are collected
every 3 months (1^st^ year), bi-annually (2^nd^ yr) and then annually
until age 10. Data collections include B- and T-lymphocyte responses to
milk proteins as a hard measure of CM exposure, diabetes-predictive
islet cell autoantibodies and cumulative incidence of T1D. Additional
data comprise validated dietary questionnaires and documentation of
infectious episodes. Serum is stored for measurement of viral exposures.
Lymphocytes are analyzed immediately for T-cell reactivities and
cryopreserved for cytokine studies. Irrespective of study outcomes, the
trial represents a comprehensive, large-scale natural history study with
a broad ethnic base, and includes the evaluation of T-cell reactivities
using an ITN-validated assay.
