SOX 404, 302 Compliance Offers \"Proportional Value\"

Framingham, Mass. (Feb. 16, 2005) - A survey of 220 businesses revealed
that while compliance costs associated with SOX Sections 404 and 302 are
front-loaded, once companies are through the process, there is a great
deal of proportional value.

The poll, conducted jointly by International Data Corp. and
RevenueRecognition.com, also noted that a compliance \"chasm\" exists
and that companies that have crossed it have achieved more effective
results at less cost.

IDC asked respondents to rate the cost of six major Sarbanes-Oxley
compliance tasks, and also to judge the effectiveness of those tasks for
improving risk management.

The cost and effectiveness ratings were roughly even for activities such
as documenting accounting policies, certification and sign off on
internal controls, certification of financial statements, and responding
to external audit attestation processes.

However, the cost of documenting internal controls was rated
substantially higher than its effectiveness for improving risk
management, and the cost of repairing any weaknesses was rated
substantially lower than its effectiveness for improving risk
management.

The survey focused on costs for internal resources and outside
consulting from both Big Four and non-Big Four audit firms. The resource
requirements to support SOX increased in direct proportion to the size
of organization based upon revenue. For public enterprises with more
than \$1 billion in revenue, the average amount of labor spent on
compliance activities was more than 12 person-years. Companies in the
\$200 million to \$1 billion revenue range averaged more than
six-and-a-half person-years of effort.

Furthermore, the cost of external auditing services increased 52 percent
for public companies. Midsized companies with \$200 million to \$1
billion in revenue reported an 81 percent average increase.

**Henry Jackson**, (1744-1809), Massachusetts Continental Army
commander, 4^th^ Massachusetts Regiment, Revolutionary War. An
additional regiment was raised by Henry Jackson. On July 24, 1780,
"Jackson's Additional Continental Regiment" was officially designated
the 16th Massachusetts Regiment. Although this unit was disbanded in
1781, Colonel Jackson remained in service until 1784 and commanded the
last remaining regiment in the Continental Army. He was still serving
during Shays's Rebellion in 1787.

**Two Methods for Duplication Assessments within Nordic Oat Accessions
at the Canadian National Genebank**

Axel Diederichsen

Plant Gene Resources of Canada, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, 107
Science Place, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, S7N0X2

PH: +1-(306)-956 28 39; E-mail: <diederichsena@agr.gc.ca>

Duplication of accessions within a genebank is not unusual, in
particular in older cultivars or landrace material. It is confusing to
genebank clients and true duplication is a burden for curator and
genebank budget. However, not all duplicates are true duplicates.

Two methods to assess intra-collection duplication within 339 Nordic oat
(*Avena sativa* L.) accessions preserved by Plant Gene Resources of
Canada (PGRC) were applied and compared. Possible duplicates, that is
accessions with a similar accession name, were grouped into 52
duplication groups, and accounted for 230 of the Nordic oat accessions.
A field assessment, which was based on visual inspection of field plots
during two growing seasons, was conducted to detect distinct phenotypes
within each duplication group. Simultaneously, a descriptor assessment
using seven characters with altogether sixteen character states was used
in both years for the same purpose.

The combined results of both assessments and both years indicated that
among the 230 accessions in duplication groups only 118 could be
identified as distinct. This would allow for a considerable reduction of
the Nordic oat accessions preserved at PGRC. The field assessment method
detected less distinct accessions than the descriptor assessment, but
repeatability between the years was higher in the field assessment than
in the descriptor assessment.

The field assessment is a subjective method and requires an experienced
germplasm evaluator, but has the potential to handle a large numbers of
germplasm accessions and detects diversity that may have high selective
or fitness related value. Combination of field assessment with
descriptor assessment and more sophisticated methods on selected
subgroups may be the most efficient method for determination of internal
duplication in genebank collections. Molecular methods could be employed
for more refined detection and quantification of genetic differences
within the duplication groups.

> **Latina-Owned Preferred Bonding & Insurance Services Wins SBA Surety
> Bond Guarantee Program Award**

**Los Angeles--** Patricia Zenizo, President of Silverlake based
Preferred Bonding Services, and two of her associates, Margaret
Rodriguez and Vanessa Gutierrez were honored by the SBA's Los Angeles
District Office and the Area Office 4-Seattle for their efforts in
making Preferred Bonding the leading entity for Fiscal Year 2004 in the
SBA Surety Bond Guarantee Program.

This prestigious award covers the vast territory that comprises SBA
Regions IX and X and takes into account two key program elements---the
highest number of new clients / contractors into the Surety Bond
Guarantee Program and the greatest number of awarded contracts to both
new and existing businesses. The award was presented at a ceremony
hosted by the SBA's Los Angeles District Office.

With more than a quarter century of bonding experience, Patricia Zenizo
founded Preferred Bonding & Insurance Services in 1994, in part, to help
bring various Southland underserved small and medium contractors to the
table to participate in a "piece of the contracting pie". As a
specialist in bond underwriting Ms. Zenizo focused her business on
grooming minority, women-owned, and disadvantaged construction companies
to participate in the SBA's SBGP. Through the combined efforts of the
three honorees underserved contractors have gained access to bonding and
working capital loans to help their respective enterprises grow.

Los Angeles District Office Director Alberto G. Alvarado praised the
contributions of Patricia Zenizo, Margaret Rodriguez and Vanessa
Gutierrez, stating, "Through the dedication of Patricia and her
colleagues numerous small contractors were able to increase the revenue
profiles of their business by obtaining first-time bonding. Other
contractors were aided by Preferred Bonding by virtue of having their
bonding capacity increased. The financial and economic development
impact of their contributions is incalculable. They are champions of the
disadvantaged and underserved and are worthy of our highest praise."

Patricia Zenizo is available for interviews. Please contact Frank
Brancale at (818) 552-3203.

***Webcast***

# **Jackie Jackson**

###### Acting Director of Title I

#### Introduction -- Jackie JACKSON, Acting Director of Title I

Thank for you for joining us today. My name is Jackie Jackson, and I am
the Acting Director of the Student Achievement and School Accountability
Office, commonly known as Title I.

We heard from many of you that you were interested in hearing about our
monitoring process. I hope that the conversations today have helped you
to understand our process, so that when we come to your state and
district, you will understand what we will be doing when we monitor the
implementation of Title I, Part A.

The intent of our process is to help you to understand what the law
expects, and what we, in return, expect from you. If you believe, as we
believe, that good implementation of "No Child Left Behind" will help to
build a good strong infrastructure in your state and district, so that
student achievement is improved, then please consider us a partner in
this effort.

Our goal today was to familiarize you with the process, and to share
with you lessons learned, and best practices, so that you could take
this information back, and make it relevant to the work that you do.

I would like to thank my staff, Charles Laster, Fran Walter, and Zollie
Stevenson for providing an overview of our monitoring process. I would
also like to take this opportunity to thank Suzanne Ochse and Mike Sorum
for traveling to Washington, D.C. to share their experiences in our
monitoring process in a way that made our conversation relevant to you
today.

It is our hope that you will share this webcast with others in your
state and district, so that they can learn the lessons that we have
learned, and that we have shared with you today. And we hope that you
will be able to use it as you go about implementing "No Child Left
Behind."

####### **PENCE SAYS TAX CUT \'DOESN\'T GO FAR ENOUGH\'**

######## **Congressman to Support Bill Despite \'Missed Opportunity\'**

Washington, D.C.- As Congress prepared to pass the President\'s tax
relief package later today Congressman Mike Pence issued the following
statement:

**\"During these difficult economic days for millions of working
families, now is the time for bold and decisive tax relief that will put
America back to work. The Jobs and Growth Act passed by Congress today
is neither bold nor decisive and represents a missed opportunity to
speed significant tax relief to the American people.**

**"By failing to heed the President\'s call for a tax cut of twice the
size, Congress has settled for providing \$100 Billion in tax relief
each of the next two years in the unrealistic hope that it will have a
renewing effect on our \$10 Trillion dollar annual economy. Sadly, this
tax cut doesn\'t go far enough to get our economy moving again.**

**"I will still vote in favor of the Jobs and Growth Act because I
believe Congress should seize every opportunity to reduce taxes. But I
will not join the chorus of those who suggest that this legislation will
make a significant difference for working families, small businesses and
family farms.\"**

January 4, 2008

To the BLM:

As friends of Oregon we have some comments on the Western Oregon Plan
Revision Draft Environmental Impact Statement (WOPR DEIS). We have been
to many beautiful places in the country, and we particularly enjoy
coming to southern Oregon for quiet outdoor recreation in the

wild lands around Jacksonville. We have found nowhere else quite like
it.

We are very surprised and disappointed that the proposed Dakubetede
Wilderness was not included in WOPR DIES among the list of lands with
wilderness characteristics. This area perfectly conforms to the criteria
in Appendix K: \"naturalness, outstanding opportunities for solitude,
and outstanding opportunities for primitive and unconfined recreation\",
(and sufficient size.) We would like to see this unique, pristine, and
fragile place protected with wilderness designation.

You can appreciate, then, how dismayed we are that the Anderson Butte
area is being proposed as an off-highway vehicle (OHV) emphasis area! On
our hikes of the Sterling Mine Trail we have seen fresh evidence of
bear, fox, elk, deer. We have seen owls, hawks, and countless other
creatures. The landscape is sometimes so still that animal calls can be
heard from far up the canyon and waves of wind can be heard moving
across the treetops. Unfortunately, the solitude has also been spoiled
by the sound of a motorcycle ripping up some hillside.

Speaking from our experience and from talking with friends, we think
those who pursue quiet recreation seek to surround themselves with wild
nature to observe and to learn, the goal being to walk softly in a
natural landscape and disturb it as little as possible. There seems to
be a very different ethos among those who operate off-road vehicles.
Among these folk the landscape seems to exist to be conquered for a
thrill. To the extent it is considered at all, wildlife exists to be
scattered or shot at. We have seen off-road areas become littered with
cigarette butts, beer bottles, bullet casings, and trash. We think
opening up the Anderson Butte area to an OHV emphasis is disastrous.

We would like to see the Anderson Butte taken off your list for
consideration as a potential OHV emphasis area. Further, we would like
the Dakubetede Wildland to be designated as protected wilderness.

Thank you.

Subject: Flu vaccine distribution at McKesson\--Level 2

Dear Grantees: 

We know that you're receiving calls from providers, and we want to
provide you with an update about anticipated vaccine arrivals at
McKesson.  As all of us who work with flu vaccine know, we cannot
guarantee these dates until we actually receive the vaccine from the
manufacturers, but we wanted to provide you with the best estimate we
have for vaccine arrival at this point.  As you\'ll see from the
specifics listed below, we anticipate that you will have a significant
proportion of all vaccine types/brands available for ordering by the end
of the month.

At this time:\
(1)  the majority of LAIV has arrived, with the remaining doses
anticipated by the end of September; and (2) all of the GSK vaccines
(Fluarix and Flulaval) have arrived.

By the end of September, we anticipate having:\
(1) all of the Novartis vaccine; and (2) half of each of the sanofi
products checked in at McKesson and ready for order. We expect the
second half of the sanofi products to be available at McKesson for order
by the last week of October.

Please check your daily allocation balance sheet reports so that you
will know exactly when your vaccine is available for order.  If you have
questions about this report, please contact Ken Sharp (<ksharp@cdc.gov>)
or Lisa Galloway (<lgalloway@cdc.gov>).

We are in frequent discussions with the manufacturers as bulk vaccine
orders are shipped to McKesson, and we are talking daily with McKesson
about flu vaccine receipts and provider orders.  We will keep you posted
of any changes to the anticipated schedule outlined above or any other
issues related to flu vaccine distribution.

Thanks, Jeanne

Re: Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. 207(0) section 7(0)(5)

RIN 1215-AB13

OJP Docket No.1478

Federal Register/Volume 73, No.145 Monday, July 28, 2008/Proposed Rules,
pages

43654-43662

"An employee of a public agency...who has accrued compensatory time
off...and who has requested the use of such compensatory shall be
permitted by the employee's employer to use such time within a
reasonable period after making the request if the use of the
compensatory time does not unduly disrupt the operations of the public
agency."

The intent of this section, 7(0), was to allow municipalities to pay
their police and firemen with time off instead of paying cash for the
overtime that the employees worked. This was to benefit the
municipalities' cash flow. The employees also benefited because they had
the choice of pay or time. When the employees [worked]{.underline}
overtime, they could choose to save the time for future use. For
example, when that employee wanted the time off to see their child in a
school play, he could do so as long as he gave his employer reasonable
notice that he wanted off on that particular day. This reasonable period
allowed the employer to make arrangements to find a replacement for that
employee.

To allow the [employer]{.underline} to choose the day off for the
employee defeats the purpose of banking the compensatory time. When an
officer or fireman needs to be off for a particular date, they need to
be off that day, not a day the employer decides for them.

It is true that some courts have interpreted this differently. The
intent of this section needs to be clarified, but not changed. The Fair
Labor Standards Act was written to help the employee. There are other
cases supporting the employees' use of compensatory time: Heaton vs.
Moore, City of Cleveland vs. Beck, Cannery vs. Town of Brookline and
Debraska vs. City of Milwaukee.

Your proposal states, "...that section 7(0)(5)(B) does not require a
public agency to allow the use of compensatory time on the day
specifically requested, but only requires that the agency permit the use
of the time within a reasonable period after the employee makes the
request,..." Where is the fairness to the employee in this proposed rule
change? If the laborer [earned]{.underline} the time off, they should be
allowed to take the time off when they need to, not when the city needs
them to. The city did not earn that time off. How ironic, that the
deadline to speak up against this proposal is 9/11; a day that honors
our police officers and firemen for their sacrifices. This proposed rule
should be withdrawn.

Sincerely,

J.D. Sewell

# Change Frequency of Collection and Adjustment Reporting to States (OCSE Ref \# 2597)

## Summary of Changes

Effective January 2010, the Federal Offset System is being modified to
send collections to the States on a weekly basis, instead of biweekly.
The reason for this change is to improve the currency of arrearage data.

## Background

Recent changes, resulting from the Deficit Reduction Act (DRA) of 2005,
impact both the priority of offsets at Department of Treasury (removing
the distinction in priority between Temporary Assistance to Needy
Families (TANF) and non-TANF past-due support), as well as providing
States with the authority to pass through Federal income tax refund
offset collections to the family first. These changes make it critical
to maintain current arrearage data across State and Federal systems.
Accepting and processing collections on a weekly basis will help
synchronize the arrearage balances.

## Description of Changes

The Federal Offset System will send a file every week, rather than every
other week. From the information on the collection and adjustment files,
the following reports will also be generated and sent to the States
every week:

1.  Federal Offset Collections Technical Content Correspondence (TCC)
    (EFlash and web posting)

2.  OCSE Federal Offset Net Check Amount Report (EFlash and C:D)

3.  Federal Offset Collection Report (C:D)

4.  Statement of Service Fee Report (C:D)

5.  Name Discrepancy Report (C:D)

There is no change to the format of the collection files or the reports
that are sent to the States.

## Impact on States

States will need to modify their systems by January 2010 to accept the
file on a weekly basis.
