In General Signup 33, program applicants must select the desired
practice from a list of available practices. The type of cover to be
established earns points in a method or ranking called the Environmental
Benefit Index (EBI). The purpose of the CP3A is to establish a stand of
hardwood and timber planting to enhance environmental benefits (EBI).

The applicant selects the contract length that can range from 10 to 15y
ears.

Existing tree area available as a practice option for the CRP under the
following ranking point categories:

-   **10 points --** N1a-Established solid stand of nonmast-producing
    hardwood species

-   **20 points** -- N1a- Established solid stand of a single hard
    mast-producing species

-   **30** points -- N1a- Established mixed stand (2 species) of
    hardwoods best suited for wildlife in the area

-   **50 points** -- N1a --Mixed stand of 3 or more best suited for
    wildlife in the area

-   **5 points** -- N1b -- Annual or perennial wildlife food plot (CP12)
    that remains in the location for the CRP-1 length or rotated
    (location changes during CRP-1 length). CP12 food plots must be 10%
    of a field not to exceed 5 acres per field to earn points.

-   **20 points** -- N1b Conversion of at least 51% of an expiring CRP
    contract of fescue or bermudagrass to the establishment of hardwoods
    under this practice.

-   **50 points** -- N4 -- Enduring benefits -- new hardwood plantings
    under this practice.

    **Specifications:**

1.  At least 302 hardwood seedlings per acre (12 feet x 12 feet spacing)
    must be planted, and no more than 436 (10 x 10) may be planted**.**

2.  Seedlings must be properly cared for and planted according to TN.
    Division of Forestry guidelines.

3.  Subsoiling may be required to break up compacted subsurface layers
    (plowpans or agripans) as deemed necessary. Subsoil (single pass) to
    a depth of 18 inches in passes parallel to the contour of the land
    at the same distance apart as tree seedling spacing recommended by
    the forester. Subsoiling is not required on slopes exceeding a 20%
    gradient.

    4\. An approved temporary cover may be required to be established if
    the contract is approved outside of a designated planting period and
    erosion may occur.

5\. In all cases control of erosion must be maintained until forest
litter is present to protect the site.

6\. Control of Johnsongrass and other weeds must be controlled for
survival and establishment of tree seedlings when planting hardwoods

Mechanical control (such as rotary mowing) alone is not authorized.

7\. No Mid Contract Management Required

8\. The applicant and conservation planner must select from the approved
list of hardwood species available at the local FSA office. Soil and
site conditions must be considered when planting hardwoods.

**Long Range Facility Planning**

**Administrative Office of the United States Courts**

**[BEST PRACTICE AWARD WINNER]{.underline}**. The Administrative Office
of the United States Courts (AOC) developed the Judiciary's Long Range
Facility Planning process to communicate the courts' needs for space and
facilities to GSA and the Congress in a way that results in the best
value to the taxpayer. This accomplishment earned the AOC the 1998 GSA
Achievement Award for Real Property Innovation in the best practice
category.

For each of the 94 Judicial districts, the AOC created statistical
models that forecast caseload growth for the district courts in 5, 10,
20, and 30-year increments. A team of AOC employees visited each of the
94 judicial districts meeting with representatives from the Judiciary,
GSA, and support agencies to project the growth in caseloads and
associated support personnel and space at each location based on
historical data.

The model projects the number of judicial officers and support personnel
that will be required to handle the caseload in each district. Next the
AOC and GSA look at capacities in existing judicial facilities with the
future space needs, and develop proposals to meet these future space
needs.

This long range planning model has allowed the AOC to prioritize its
projects based on the space requirements of the Judiciary. The
Judiciary's long range plans have resulted in an indispensable process
that has enabled sound asset management decisions, has reduced project
delivery time and cost, has provided incentives for improvement, and has
maximized the performance of the portfolio.

###### DALTON PRESCRIBED BURN BEGINS THURSDAY

*(PECOS, NM)\--*Weather permitting, the Pecos/ Las Vegas Ranger District
of the Santa Fe National Forest plans to burn approximately 959 acres
over a 7-day period beginning Thursday, May 12^th^ . The Daltom
Prescribed Burn will take place in Dalton Canyon, approximately 7 miles
northwest of the community of Pecos, New Mexico, off of Forest Service
Road 123.

The objectives of this burn are to initiate pretreatment of the Wildand
Urban Interface Zone (an area where structures and other human
developments come together with undeveloped wildland or vegetative
fuels) to reduce the threat of catastrophic fire. Additionally, this
burn will return the area to its historic role by reducing fuel loading
and providing habitat for small birds and animals. This effort will
initiate a trend toward increasingly healthy and sustainable forest
conditions.

Burn plans include the use of hand ignition where fire is applied to an
area within well defined boundaries to reduce hazourdous fules.

Assisting with the prescribed burn will be: Four Wildland Fire Engines,
a 10-person hand crew, a Holding Boss, a Burn Boss, a Smoke Monitor, a
Perscribed Fire Monitor, an Ignition Specialist, and a Fire Information
Officer.

There may be smoke settling into the communities of Lower and Upper Las
Posada, Tres Lagunas, Terrero, and Pecos. Smoke may also be visable from
communities surrounding the prescribed fire area.

For further information on this prescribed burn please call Dolores
Maese, (505) 438-7877, Lawrence Lujan, (505) 438-7628, or the Pecos/Las
Vegas Ranger Station, (505) 757-6121.

**§4.76 Visual acuity.**

\(a\) *Examination of visual acuity*. Examination of visual acuity must
include the central *uncorrected* and *corrected* visual acuity for
*distance and near* vision using Snellen's test type or its equivalent.

\(b\) *Evaluation of visual acuity*.

\(1\) Evaluate central visual acuity on the basis of corrected distance
vision with central fixation, even if a central scotoma is present.
However, when the lens required to correct distance vision in the poorer
eye differs by more than three diopters from the lens required to
correct distance vision in the better eye (and the difference is not due
to congenital or developmental refractive error), and either the poorer
eye or both eyes are service connected, evaluate the visual acuity of
the poorer eye using either its uncorrected or corrected visual acuity,
whichever results in better combined visual acuity.

\(2\) Provided that he or she customarily wears contact lenses, evaluate
the visual acuity of any individual affected by a corneal disorder that
results in severe irregular astigmatism that can be improved more by
contact lenses than by eyeglass lenses, as corrected by contact lenses.

\(3\) In any case where the examiner reports that there is a difference
equal to two or more scheduled steps between near and distance corrected
vision, with the near vision being worse, the examination report must
include at least two recordings of near and distance corrected vision
and an explanation of the reason for the difference. In these cases,
evaluate based on corrected distance vision adjusted to one step poorer
than measured.

\(4\) To evaluate the impairment of visual acuity where a claimant has a
reported visual acuity that is between two sequentially listed visual
acuities, use the visual acuity which permits the higher evaluation.

**Research Council Comments on Draft SAP 5.1: Decision Support**

**Author: NOAA Research Council**

**[Background]{.underline}**

The Research Council, as part of its major project oversight duties for
the Climate Change Science Program (CCSP), was asked to review the draft
of CCSP Synthesis and Assessment Product 5.1: **Decision Support**.

The Research Council Exec Sec sent the document to all Research Council
members and to additional NOAA staff that were identified to review the
document. Following are the consolidated Research Council comments.

**[Council Comments:]{.underline}**

> The time scale of climate information used for decision support spans
> the range from intraseasonal variation to long-term trend. The climate
> change/trend signals, on which CCSP SAP 5.1 is focusing, are mixed
> with natural multi-decadal variations. The climate models used by
> climate change studies mostly focus on the global warming mechanism,
> and the statistics of weather and short-term climate, which are
> crucial to applications, were underemphasized during the model
> development. This issue should be carefully examined when applying
> climate change scenarios based on model projections.
>
> The NOAA/NWS Climate Service routinely produces monitoring and
> forecast products focused on short-term climate variability (from
> week-2 to interannual time scales) and has made tremendous efforts to
> increase and improve those products according to user demand,
> including decision support. Those efforts may partly meet the requests
> by the Production Estimate and Crop Assessment Division to have
> dependable operational inputs (line 183-186) and contribute to
> Decision Support System to Prevent Lyme Disease by relating a
> short-term climate influence on the vector that causes the outbreak of
> Lyme disease. The document under represents the NOAA/NWS climate
> operational support to decision support tools (DST).
>
> Because this is a synthesis report, it should have a broader
> introduction that mentions other DST or projects that exist in other
> agencies. It is acceptable to have case studies that are described and
> analyzed in detail, but the document should have a broader view in the
> introduction. This breadth should also be weaved into the conclusion
> to show that there are other projects in progress.

Subject: TAXATION LAWS

There is not reason why the Government should, or would not, provide
GLBT the same rights as Heterosexuals or married men and women. When my
X and I were ready to buy a house, there were many unfair and unjust
acts that we were not able to benefit from as a married couple. In
addition, from a medical stand point, if your partner pays for your
medical expenses (and there quite a few) he or she has not rights to add
on there taxes.

What is sad about this ordeal is that we pay the same amount of taxes
and we are not exempt from paying taxes towards schools, and the city.
If we are not fit to have the same rights as a Heterosexual couple, than
we should be exempt from paying taxes towards schools; after all, we are
supposedly \"bad influence to students and children\" (discrimination
and hate words).

Thank you

follows the Principles and Practice of Cancer Prevention and Control
Course provides a strong background in the molecular biology and
genetics of cancer and an overview of basic laboratory approaches
applied to research in the fields of molecular epidemiology,
chemoprevention, biomarkers, and translational research. The course is
divided into topics such as An Overview of the Cancer Process; Cancer
from a Biosystem Perspective; Animal Models for Cancer Prevention
Studies, etc.

Both courses are made available to foreign scientists from resource poor
countries that have an interest in cancer prevention and control.

**TASKS:** In the performance of the work under this task order, and
under instructions from the Project Officer, the contractor shall be
responsible for the following:

-   Travel scientists from foreign countries to NCI to attend the NCI
    Summer Curriculum for four or five weeks.

-   Locate and secure rooms in a hotel (deposit to be subtracted from
    exchange scientists' subsistence allowance or prepay rooms).

-   Set up banking arrangements for cashing subsistence allowance checks
    for subsistence, provide detailed information regarding housing,
    banking, etc.

-   Provide check to cover subsistence allowance for 60 exchange
    scientists.

-   Provide prepaid economy, round-trip tickets for 28 exchange
    scientists from IAEA PACT countries estimate.

[TRANSFERABILITY OF AROMATICITY WITH POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC
MOLECULES]{.underline}, [S. Spaulding]{.underline}, D. B. Lawson\*,
University of Michigan-Dearborn, Department of Natural Sciences,
Dearborn, MI, 48128, <dblawson@umich.edu>

The aromaticity of polycyclic aromatic compounds is often thought of as
obvious when considering systems such as naphthalene or stilbene. What
happens, however, when one of the rings is aromatic and an adjacent ring
is antiaromatic? Does the aromaticity of the first ring offer its
stability to the overall system or is the molecule overwhelmed by the
instability associated with the aromatic molecule? Is aromaticity a
cumulative phenomena or are the properties of the multiple rings tied
together? MP2 and Density Functional B3LYP calculations using a
6-311+g\* basis set have been performed to determine the energy of
stabilization of a select group of polycyclic aromatic/antiaromatic
hydrocarbons. Of primary interest is the determination of interaction of
the aromaticities through the saturated and unsaturated bridging
hydrocarbon chains. In addition to the aromatic stabilization energy,
molecular orbital and natural bond orbital analysis is provided along
with NICS magnetic characterization of the rings.
