	Special Category Status:Can it Deliver?
		They still hold the view that merely according the special category status to the hilly state would not deliver the expected results as most of the grants were expected to meet the salary bills and the non-plan expenditures.
		Besides granting the special category status to the new state, the Centre is also expected to look into the demand of royalty to Uttaranchal from those states utilizing waters of the rivers originating from the new state.
		In a status paper, the regional organizations have argued that such a provision was necessary for a new state whose economy was absolutely dependent on grants due to faulty policies pursued by the government over the years.

	Status of special relativity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Special relativity (SR) is usually concerned with the behaviour of objects and "observers" (inertial reference systems) which remain at rest or are moving at a constant velocity.
		The Sagnac effect, a phenomenon that is taken in to account in GPS synchronisation procedures, is predicted by both special relativity and Galilean relativity and is thus neutral evidence as far as special relativity is concerned.
		Mathematically, special relativity is internally consistent, being nothing more than the geometry of rotationally symmetric (=isotropic) Minkowski space, together with a requirement that all laws of nature be inertial frame invariant.

		Limited status students are a special category of undergraduates who have earned an undergraduate degree with a record of superior scholarship (an overall grade-point average of at least 3.3), but need additional undergraduate course work for a specific and clearly defined purpose.
		Limited status is granted only under special circumstances; students' needs, abilities, and programs should have enough urgency to justify admitting them in place of students in regular status, and there should be no reasonable alternative available.
		Use of limited status to enable students to raise their scholarship average is not permitted.

	President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education (PCESE) -- Final Report to the President -- Section 2, ...
		What all eligibility decisions require for children who receive special education under IDEA is a two-pronged determination: The child must be shown to have a condition (i.e., meets criteria for one of the 13 categories) and must also have demonstrable educational need (i.e., must have difficulty learning or adapting to the school environment).
		Some of the growth in the OHI category is the result of the growth in children identified as having ADHD, where a physician's signature is generally sufficient to trigger the eligibility process.
		The other factor in the increase in OHI and orthopedic impairment categories, outlined in testimony by Mark Batshaw, is the increased survival rate of significantly premature infants and the greater recognition of genetic and neurological factors that cause low-incidence disabilities.

		Although Category 2 was abolished in 1996, species of concern is an informal term that refers to those species that might be declining or be in need of concentrated conservation actions to prevent decline.

		Many of these species have extremely limited distributions in the park and may represent relict populations from past climatic or topographic conditions, while other species may be at the extreme extent of their range in the park or represent changes in species genetics.
