**§4.55 Principles of combined ratings for muscle injuries.**

\(a\) A muscle injury rating will not be combined with a peripheral
nerve paralysis rating of the same body part, unless the injuries affect
entirely different functions.

\(b\) For rating purposes, the skeletal muscles of the body are divided
into 23 muscle groups in 5 anatomical regions: 6 muscle groups for the
shoulder girdle and arm (diagnostic codes 5301 through 5306); 3 muscle
groups for the forearm and hand (diagnostic codes 5307 through 5309); 3
muscle groups for the foot and leg (diagnostic codes 5310 through 5312);
6 muscle groups for the pelvic girdle and thigh (diagnostic codes 5313
through 5318); and 5 muscle groups for the torso and neck (diagnostic
codes 5319 through 5323).

\(c\) There will be no rating assigned for muscle groups which act upon
an ankylosed joint, with the following exceptions:

\(1\) In the case of an ankylosed knee, if muscle group XIII is
disabled, it will be rated, but at the next lower level than that which
would otherwise be assigned.

\(2\) In the case of an ankylosed shoulder, if muscle groups I and II
are severely disabled, the evaluation of the shoulder joint under
diagnostic code 5200 will be elevated to the level for unfavorable
ankylosis, if not already assigned, but the muscle groups themselves
will not be rated.

\(d\) The combined evaluation of muscle groups acting upon a single
unankylosed joint must be lower than the evaluation for unfavorable
ankylosis of that joint, except in the case of muscle groups I and II
acting upon the shoulder.

\(e\) For compensable muscle group injuries which are in the same
anatomical region but do not act on the same joint, the evaluation for
the most severely injured muscle group will be increased by one level
and used as the combined evaluation for the affected muscle groups.

\(f\) For muscle group injuries in different anatomical regions which do
not act upon ankylosed joints, each muscle group injury shall be
separately rated and the ratings combined under the provisions of §4.25.

**Sullivan Praises Historic Second Amendment Ruling**

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** **--** Today, Congressman John Sullivan released
the following statement praising the U.S. Supreme Court's historic
decision in the case *District of Columbia v. Heller*. In their 5-4
decision, the Court ruled that the notorious ban on guns in the District
of Columbia is unconstitutional and upheld the Second Amendment as a
fundamental individual right.

**"I firmly believe the Second Amendment prohibits the federal
government from denying law abiding citizens the right to keep and bear
arms. Today's historic ruling reaffirms the Second Amendment rights of
all law abiding Americans and is a significant victory for gun owners
and advocates across the country.**

**"Today's ruling marks the first time since 1939 that the U.S. Supreme
Court has ruled on a Second Amendment challenge to a firearm law. Prior
to the decision, I was pleased to join 250 of my House colleagues in
submitting a bipartisan Congressional amicus brief affirming the lower
courts ruling that the District of Columbia gun ban was
unconstitutional. In addition, I am proud to be a cosponsor of H.R.
1399, the District of Columbia Personal Protection Act, which will help
ensure that District of Columbia residents' Second Amendment rights are
upheld."**

NWCG Training Working Team

Leadership Committee

April 2, 2007

To: L-480 Steering Group

From: Chair, NWCG Leadership Committee

Subject: Maintaining L-480 into the Future

At the March Leadership Committee meeting, promoting and maintaining
L-480 into the future was discussed. It is evident to the Leadership
Committee from the feedback regarding the L-480 courses delivered over
the past two years that the existing product is excellent. During this
meeting the Committee worked with Cyndie Hogg, Dave Koch, and three
Geographic Area Training Representatives (GATRs) to finalize an L-480
delivery plan.

The question was posed regarding the option of soliciting providers /
instructors other than Dr. Larry Iverson (Institute of Advanced
Development) who has instructed all L-480 courses to this point. The
members present did not feel we reached complete resolution on this
question.

It was agreed at the joint Leadership Committee / L-480 & 580 Steering
Group meeting in Austin, Texas in December 2006 that the Steering Group
would make sure that other potential providers would be able to research
the L-480 course package in order to determine if they have the capacity
to deliver the course.

The Leadership Committee requests that the L-480 Steering Group complete
the following actions in order to promote and maintain L-480 into the
future:

-   Revise the current Coach and SME Handbook to reflect the wording in
    the document titled "Coaching Guidelines" provided to Cyndie Hogg by
    the Leadership Committee.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Identify actions the L-480 Steering Group can take to assist GATRs
    with their first implementation of this course. Until this course
    becomes established nationally, there will be some uncertainty among
    GATRs who were not involved in the test course phase on how to
    proceed with course delivery.

-   Develop a suggested process to evaluate potential new providers /
    instructors. If the L-480 Steering Group is interested, Bill Miller,
    the Course Evaluations Advisor on the Leadership Committee is
    available to provide an overview of the 300 level course evaluation
    process.

\
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) is facing
increasingly greater demands to develop more efficient and effective
methods to evaluate the hazards and risks of chemicals to human health
and the environment. To address this need, the ORD has launched a new
research program titled Computational Toxicology. Computational
Toxicology is defined in the "Framework for a Computational Toxicology
Research Program" (see www.epa.gov/comptox) as the application of
mathematical and computer models and molecular biological approaches to
improve the Agency's prioritization of data requirements and risk
assessments. There are three major objectives of the Framework: (1) to
improve linkages in the source-to-outcome paradigm; (2) developing
methods for prioritization of chemicals for testing; and (3) improving
quantitative risk assessment. The program traces its origins to a
Congressional reprogramming action in FY02, which directed the Agency to
conduct research to explore the use of alternatives to animals in
testing. In response to that, several proof-of-concept studies for
endocrine disruption were undertaken, as it was felt that the U.S. EPA
already had a strong research presence in the area and that considerable
information was known about the relevant toxicity pathways. Over the
past several years, the program has grown in size and importance. In
2005, the ORD institutionalized the effort by creating the National
Center for Computational Toxicology at its campus in Research Triangle
Park, NC. The Center is being staffed with systems biologists,
computational chemists, and bioinformaticians and will be the focal
point for computational toxicology efforts across the ORD. One of the
main early challenges of the program will be to develop approaches for
prioritizing chemical lists of concern to the Agency for screening and
testing purposes. In 2006, a major project, ToxCast, is being launched
to develop predictive signatures for chemically induced toxicities.
Ideally, this will lead to tailored testing schemes for environmental
stressors and to the more effective and efficient use of animals in
research. This, in turn, will lead to improved risk assessment
methodologies and outcomes. A key part of the program will be
development of partnerships with outside organizations that we
facilitate and the ensuing discussion of key research needs. This
presentation will provide the rationale for creation of the program and
highlight some examples of ongoing research.

This is an abstract of a proposed presentation and does not represent
the official views of the Agency.

Dear Mr. Marek:

This is to inform you that the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency
(OCC) has approved your proposal to consolidate West Texas National
Bank, Alpine, Texas with First National Bank, Alpine, Texas, under the
title of West Texas National Bank, charter number 24185. This approval
is based on a thorough review of all information available, including
the representations and commitments made in the application and by the
bank's representatives.

If the transaction is not consummated within one year from this date,
the approval shall automatically terminate. The district office must be
advised in writing at least 10 days in advance of the effective date
desired for the proposal so that the OCC may issue the necessary letter
certifying the transaction.

The effective date must occur after the expiration of the 15-day period
during which the DOJ may file an injunction to stop the transaction,
i.e., at least 15 days after the date of this letter.

We will not issue a letter certifying consummation of the transaction
until after we have received: (1) an original Secretary\'s Certificate
for each applicant bank certifying that a majority of the directors have
agreed to the proposed transaction; (2) a duly executed transaction
agreement, and; (3) a secretary\'s certificate from each bank,
certifying that the required shareholder approvals have been obtained.

Mr. Brian R. Marek

January 3, 2001

Page 2

Please be advised that the OCC is also authorizing the resulting bank,
should the proposed transaction occur between Call Report dates, to
recalculate the legal lending limit. The new lending limit should be
calculated by using data from the last Call Report of the individual
banks filed prior to consummating the combination, as adjusted for the
combination. The resulting bank will then file a new Call Report and
begin calculating its legal lending limit according to 12 CFR 32.4(a) at
the end of the quarter following consummation of the combination.

A separate letter is enclosed requesting your feedback on how we handled
the referenced application. We would appreciate your response so we may
improve our service. Questions or comments regarding this preliminary
approval can be addressed to National Bank Examiner Pansy G. Hale or to
me at (214) 720-7052. All correspondence and documents should be
referenced to the control number.

Yours truly,

**[Previous Minutes]{.underline}**

No matters arising from previous minutes.

**[Matters Arising]{.underline}**

[Lectures]{.underline}

There was a general concern as to the attendance of lectures. It was
suggested that students were put off coming to the lectures as they are
unfamiliar with the equations/calculations that are incorporated into
the course.

It was suggested that supplementary basic physics lectures could be
given, although this has proven to be unsuccessful in previous years.

There was mention of a compulsory fundamental science course being run
by IBLS for first year students intending to take degrees within IBLS.

[Laboratories]{.underline}

It has been suggested that the structure of the laboratories should be
changed. A proposal has been made to increase the laboratory times to
two hours per week. Within that two hour period, two topics will be
covered, instead of the one topic being covered per week at the moment.
There will be an option each week to complete the laboratories on one of
two days. Dr. St.Denis will request this change through IBLS.

It has been raised that there is not enough emphasis being placed on the
importance of laboratories. This will be stressed more clearly in next
years introductory lecture.

[Assessments]{.underline}

Students feel that they should be given more guidance regarding the
extended response questions that will appear in the degree exam. It was
proposed that this should be covered in the revision session due to take
place on the 6^th^ of May.

[Tutorials]{.underline}

Students have expressed dissatisfaction in the previous tutorial. It was
felt that not enough time was spent going over the answers and the
presentation was rather rushed. More emphasis will be placed on the
forthcoming tutorials and different methods of teaching will be looked
in to (eg. MCQ power point software).

Students also felt that the name of "Revision Session" as used in the
CID does not encourage attendance and it should possibly be renamed
"Tutorial for Degree Exam" to maximise attendance.

[Textbooks & Learning Resources]{.underline}

Complaint was issued concerning the current textbooks, said to be of
little relevance to the course. Point has been taken and a new book has
been recommended: "Physics & Biology in Medicine" 2^nd^ Edition. Paul
Davidovits.

Students are unaware of how to access the computer software available to
accompany the lectures. It can be accessed from the physics departments
computer clusters. An e-mail has been sent to Dr Caroline Cantley to ask
if she would bring this to the attention of students in the lecture on
23^rd^ April.

**[Any other business]{.underline}**

There has been good feedback from the students regarding the relevance
of the essay titles issued.

Meeting concluded at 15.00pm, date of next meeting has still to be
confirmed.

RE: SCEC 2006 RFP, Martel/d\'Alessio Proposal

Dear Selection Committee,

I look forward to working with Dr. Stephen Martel on a SCEC funded
research project. Our proposed work will be conducted as a joint effort
between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Earthquake Hazards Team and
the University of Hawaii. The nearly complete outcrop exposure of this
7-km-long strike-slip fault zone will allow detailed mapping of the
distribution and nature of a fault damage zone along strike. Dr. Martel
and I have previously worked together to map the geometry and slip
distribution along the entire fault extent, which forms the basis for
relating the features of the damage zone to the mechanical properties
and behavior of the fault.

As a federal scientist, the USGS will contribute my salary to this
project. We request funding for Dr. Martel\'s salary and modest field
expenses. The USGS will also provide assistance in recruiting a
qualified student field assistant. The work can be completed without the
student, but we feel that the unique field area and the nature of the
project form the foundation for a powerful student learning experience.
We therefore request salary and field expenses for the student from
SCEC.

Thank you for considering our proposal,

Matthew A. d\'Alessio

[Statement of Work]{.underline}

At high magnetic field strength (\>3 T), the breathing cycle of subjects
that undergo an MRI scan will influence the calibration of the MRI
scanner, thereby degrading the quality of the acquired images. We have
recently developed a method, called real-time shimming, which monitors
the subject's breathing cycle and continuously optimizes certain scanner
parameters (first- and higher order shims and RF-excitation frequency)
to compensate for the breathing-induced changes. This setup works well
in most subjects, but not in all. Differences in how people breathe are
one likely source of this discrepancy. A single chest circumference
detector is currently being used, making the setup less effective in
people that generate predominantly abdominal motion during their
breathing. Sebastien Roujol will work on improving the current setup by
integrating a second set of respiratory bellows, used to monitor the
breathing cycle, so that chest and abdominal motion can be monitored
independently. This requires integrating the hardware for the second set
of bellows, as well as software modifications and development.

Sebastien will be working with Dr. Josef Duyn on this project and will
be

at NIH from March 1, 2007 through August 31, 2007. Dr. Duyn will be
providing per diem in the amount of \$8,100 for the time he is here.

Dr. Duyn has also agreed to provide a round trip plane ticket not to
exceed \$3,075. The total amount funded will be \$11,175.

Issue a check in the amount of \$8,100 for perdiem.

Provide round trip airfare (ticket) to scientist not to exceed \$3,075.

The check is to be mailed to the Project Officer at the following:

**All operations, whether on the line or in spike camp situations,
should constantly consider the snag situation. Snags and green hazard
trees have been identified as extremely hazardous on most incidents. All
actions should consider snags as a serious threat, at all times. Recent
close calls warrant a reminder of the following considerations:**

-   **Use saw teams and falling bosses.**

-   **Post lookouts concentrating on snags.**

-   **Snag well ahead of line construction.**

-   **Snag identified safety zones. The black is probably your best
    safety zone. Identify areas within the black, that are snag free or
    that you make snag free.**

-   **All sawyers assure themselves a quick and safe escape route from
    the tree they are falling.**

-   **Do not turn your back on a falling tree.**

-   **Snag fire access routes as necessary -- roads, trails and drop
    points.**

-   **Keep crews spread out -- Do not bunch up.**

-   **Two sets of eyes are better than one.**

-   **Heads up for erratic winds from storm cells.**

-   **Stay clear of all air operations including cargo drops, water
    drops, retardant drops, low level flights, arrivals and departures
    at helispots.**

-   **Consider the domino effect when determining safe distances from
    hazard snags.**

-   **If a crew does not have a qualified saw with them to mitigate
    hazard snags, the crew should stay entirely clear of the hazard.**

-   **Consider green trees as hazards also -- be aware of rotten or
    decayed trees, leaners, or branches ready to fall.**

-   **Watch for burned out root systems on snags and green trees as
    well, especially several days into the incident -- a sound snag or
    tree today may not be sound tomorrow.**
