Consumers booking more vacations as war jitters ease Nationwide leisure travel bookings increased by more than 5 last week, according to a study released today by AAA. Business at AAA Travel, the nations largest leisure travel agency, was boosted by gains in sales for hotel accommodations, tour packages and car rentals. reservations Hotel (12,300) were up 7 versus the previous week (11,500). Tour packages increased 7 to (8,000) compared the previous weeks total (7,500). Car rentals rose 5 (4,200) as opposed to the prior week (4,000). Cruise bookings were down slightly, 2 (4,700) from the preceding week (4,800). As more Americans look to resume their normal rou- tine, an increasing number of people are taking a much needed break by booking a vacation. The continuation of this trend most likely will depend on whether people have an optimistic view of the future of the world events and Utah and the Department of Interior reached an historic agreement today that will halt the w'ay wilderness areas are designated in the state. The settlement dismantles a department handbook that was used to limit more than six million acres of federal plus 442,910 acres of land state school trust from Congress. I want to congratulate the Department of Interior for recognizing that only Congress has the author- ity to designate wilderness areas, says Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. This is a huge victory for all Utahns particularly the citizens living in rural areas who love the land, protect it and have found multiple ways it productive. The Department of Interior and the Justice Department concluded that the previous administration exceeded the law with the handbook. Federal land managers will still be able to use their data to protect land and develop land use plans. to make The state of Utah is among those who support additional wilderness in Utah, but it must be done within the confines of the law, says Governor Mike Leavitt. The state is prepared to advance proposals for additional wilderness to Congress, and we invite those who share this point of view to join us. The Department of Interior agreed to several key points to settle the dispute, including: Cease conducting (t ' it off-highw- without authorization from Anxiety? or revising land use plans Congress.

Stop establishing, managing or treating public lands without congressional lis. Nearly every test taker has had some degree of test anxiety at one time or an- approval. Assistant Attorney General Mark Ward, who specializes in public lands issues, helped negotiate the settlement for Utah. Only Congress can terminate our access to public lands, says Ward. The other. Realizing that anxiety exists is the first step to finding a personal solution that works for you. Consider these ideas. Recognize that test anxiety is not all bad. You may study before an exam with greater concentration and be more focused when previous administration took that authority and gave it away. Were putting it back where it belongs. The agreement should also help school children benefit from additional revenues from school trust lands and give counties more access to natural resources within their jurisdiction.

Reviewing test materials daily and weekly-helpbuild test confidence and provides development missioner Alan Gardner s chairs an ad hoc committee with the National Asso- ciation of Counties that has been working to abolish the handbook. Nearly 30 percent of the land in Washington County is already locked up, says Gardner. The handbook would have allowed for more county land to be closed off. This settlement will make sure the public will be able to still use public lands. Todays agreement will not have any impact on the 3.2 million acres that Congress had already designated as wilderness in Utah. The Utah Department of Natural Resources finds it refreshing to see that the controversy regarding federal land use allocation is resolved, says Bob Morgan, executive director of memory, idea application and retention of facts and concepts. Study the most difficult materials first. Learn to recognize your limits of quality concentration. Take planned, short breaks for relief and as a reward for accomplishing specific learning goals.

Once youre in the test, take a moment to calm yourself. Look around at the testing environment. Survey the test questions. Develop a mental pacing pattern for the entire exam so you can complete all the questions on time. Answer the easier, shorter questions first, since this gives you the experience of success. Dont spend too much time on any one question. Allow extra time for the longer, more difficult questions. Be prepared for any type of question. Multiple choice questions Check to see if directions call for only one answer. Answer the question in your head before looking at the paper.

Riders should be properly trained, prepared, ride in a responsible manner and should remember to protect the fragile surroundings. Wildlife habitat is a particularly fragile envi- ronment, said Bill James, Habitat Section chief for the Division of Wildlife Resources. Habitat, especially in lower elevations, is very dry because of the drought. Vegetation flattens easily Subscribe Today! year in and the undesired tracks become noticeable and may be used by other riders. riding of OHVs in healthy, productive riparian areas also causes serious damage. These healthy riparian areas filter out sediments, James said. When OHVs are taken and sediment is loosened and washed into water by Off-tra- il off-roa- d off-trai- l, rainfall. Sediments hurt these areas in a number of ways, including smoth- ering fish eggs (which need oxygen to grow), and choking out aquatic insect life that is vital to healthy aquatic systems.

Make it easy for them by being brief and to the point. If you are unable to answer a question, guess only if you wont be penalized. If two answers are similar, choose one of these. If the answer calls for a sentence completion, eliminate the answers that would not form grammatically correct sentences. If tw-- quantities are almost the same, choose one of these. If answers cover a wide range of numbers, choose one in the middle range. Realize, however, that none of these guessing techniques take the place of studying. Remember that if you have successfully reviewed the test material in the days or weeks leading to the test, you will eliminate a great deal of test anxiety because you will feel prepared. Rather than cramming the night before, you can take in a movie, basketball game or a concert. A relaxed brain is a more effective brain, and if you have studied, your mind will continue to prepare itself even while voure at the movie.
