To: Donna L. West, Senior Import Specialist\
Ref: USDA Approval for Brazilian Papaya from Natal-Rio Grande do Norte

 

Dear Donna,

My name is Robert Colescott and I\'m President of Southern Specialties,
Inc. located in Pompano Beach, Florida. Our company has been involved
with Importing fruits and vegetables for over 15-years and have offices
located in Peru, Chile, Guatemala, Mexico and Domestic offices include
Atlanta-GA, and Long Beach-CA. We have been marketing Brazilian papaya
since the original USDA approval from the Linares area.

 

Two very important comments I would like to make regarding this issue:

1\. The Rio Grande do Norte area is important due to transit time from
Brazil to the US markets. Today, the average transit time is 18-20 days
but shipping from Natal (Rio Grande) the transit time would be reduced
to 7-8 days. This would allow for year-round programs, better shelf
life, and competitive pricing for the the US consumers. Papayas are a
healthy fruit and the American consumer will benefit.

2\. Thus far, during the 7-years of the Brazlian Papaya Program we have
not had one single quarantine interception for fruit flies. I think this
shows the program is working very safely.

 

Thank you for your consideration and if I can be of any service please
do not hesitate to contact me.

derogatory terms for disabled people.

EXTENT OF DEVELOPMENT & REVIEW: These changes in wording have been
initiated by ASU-140 and concurred with by ASU-110.

TARGET AUDIENCE: No one specifically; it would be an awareness item for
all readers.

APPROVAL LEVELS OBTAINED: N/A

BUDGET IMPACT: N/A

POTENTIAL FAST LINKS: Real estate space guidance refers to the Uniform
Federal Accessibility Standards (11. Negotiation n.). It would be great
to great a link to the Access Board so that the reader could have those

# *Purpose*

We will compare the reactivity of different liquids.

## *Performing the experiment*

1\) Place a piece of the wax paper on top of the paper with the boxes
having the names Water, Vinegar, Orange Juice, and Lemon Juice.

2\) Inside each of the four boxes, put about 1/2 of a teaspoon of baking
soda on top of the wax paper.

3\) In the box named Water, drop two or three drops of water on the
baking soda.

4\) Observe what happens very closely.

5\) Do the same thing for the other three liquids.

6)  On the piece of paper provided, write down what happened.

7)  Deposit your papers in the door prize drawing box.

# 

# 

# *Questions to think about*

1\. Did all the liquids give the same reaction when added to the baking
soda?

2\. Which liquid gave no reaction? Which liquid gave the most reaction?

## *Explanation*

In a chemical reaction, chemicals are mixed together to produce some new
chemicals. Many times, we can observe a change that has occurred when
the chemicals are mixed. Baking soda reacts with acids to produce carbon
dioxide gas. That's the fizzing you see. Stronger acids produce more gas
so you should see more fizzing or bubbles when you add the liquid to the
baking soda. The gas produced from this chemical reaction, carbon
dioxide - CO~2~, is the same gas we exhale when we breathe. It is also
the gas plants need to grow.

**USDA UNVEILS PLAN TO INCREASE MINORITY HOMEOWNERSHIP IN RURAL
AMERICA**

***Partnership with Bankers Critical To Meet President Bush's Goal***

CHICAGO, Oct. 22, 2002---While attending the Mortgage Bankers
Association's 89^th^ Annual Convention, Agriculture Under Secretary for
Rural Development Thomas Dorr today announced an aggressive plan to help
achieve President Bush's goal of helping 5.5 million minority families
attain the dream of homeownership by 2010.

"Homeownership strengthens our rural communities and contributes to the
overall quality of life for rural families," said Dorr. "Rural
Development's Rural Housing Service works with community organizations,
lenders and individual residents to increase the opportunity for rural
homeownership. In 2002, 15,000 rural families have realized their dream
of homeownership through our direct loan program and more than 29,000
families were served by the guarantee loan program. I am confident that
working together with the lending industry, housing opportunities will
continue to grow and the President's goal will be reached."

The Mortgage Bankers conference comes on the heels of the White House
Initiative on Minority Homeownership conference held October 15, 2002 in
Washington, D.C. President Bush, Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman and
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Mel Martinez attended, along
with housing industry representatives, bankers, and social groups to
discuss ways in which government and the private sector housing and
lending industries can meet the goal.

During Dorr's remarks to the convention attendees he outlined a "Five
Star Commitment" to assist in increasing the level of rural
homeownership over the next eight years. Efforts to achieve these five
commitments will increase the opportunity of USDA and lenders to partner
and provide American families with a home. The commitments include:

1.  Lowering Fees To Reduce Barriers to Minority Homeownership

2.  Doubling The Number of Self-Help Participants by 2010

3.  Increasing Participation By Minority Lenders Through Outreach

4.  Promoting Credit Counseling and Homeownership Education

5.  Monitoring Lending Activities To Ensure 10 Percent

\- more -

"In just three months since lowering the refinancing fee, Rural
Development has been able to assist 525 families, 2.5 times more during
this period than in the previous 14 months," said Dorr. "As part of the
Five Star Commitment, and sensitivity to market changes, we are
announcing today the guarantee fee for refinancing loans will be lowered
from 2 percent to .05 percent and from 2 percent to 1.5 percent for new
loans."

USDA Rural Development serves as the lead federal entity for rural
development needs and administers financial and technical assistance
through three agencies: Rural Housing Service, Rural
Business-Cooperative Service and Rural Utilities Service. Further
information on USDA Rural Development can be obtained by contacting any
USDA Service Center or by visiting USDA\'s web site at www.usda.gov

**Crime Bill Project -- Eliminate Child Pornography**

Co-sponsor the Musgrave Child Pornography Elimination Act of 2007

Dear Colleague,

I recently introduced H.R. 3148, the "Child Pornography Elimination Act
of 2007," and encourage you to become a cosponsor of this critical
legislation.

The Internet has become a virtual playground for sexual predators and
pedophiles who satiate their desire for child pornography with relative
anonymity. Pedophiles can download images to their personal computers
or, even worse, watch the sexual abuse of children in real-time.

Child pornography consists of more than just visual depictions of
children in suggestive poses; rather, child pornography specifically
involves the rape, abuse and molestation of innocent children, some
cases even involving infants as young as three months old.

The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC)
CyberTipline receives reports of suspected Internet child pornography
every day. Since its launch in 1998, the tipline has received nearly
half a million child pornography reports, averaging almost 1,400 tips
each week.

Child pornography is a profitable, global criminal enterprise, and is
growing rapidly in technical sophistication in response to efforts to
detect and disrupt these criminal operations. Child pornography is not
even a crime in more than half of the 184 Interpol countries.
Unfortunately, this means that many of the children victimized by child
pornography are foreign and not protected by the laws of their country.

My legislation makes important improvements to federal law to help
eliminate child pornography. Most importantly, the bill prohibits the
*access* of child pornography. Although current law prohibits the
possession, trafficking, or transport of child pornography, the Internet
allows a pedophile to view child pornography without actually
downloading or printing it. The law must be amended to ensure that these
offenders do not escape liability because of technicality in the law.

This legislation also imposes mandatory penalties for possession of
child pornography, increases civil penalties for Internet Service
Providers who fail to report child pornography to law enforcement, and
provides mandatory restitution for child pornography victims.

If you have any questions regarding this legislation or would like to
become a cosponsor, please contact Kristen Glenn, 225-4676, or
<kristen.glenn@mail.house.gov>.

SUMMARY OF KEY PROVISIONS OF CRANE BILL

ON TRADE PROMOTION AUTHORITY

-   Gives the Administration the authority to negotiate and bring back
    trade provisions to Congress using trade promotion authority (TPA),
    including goods, services, agriculture, intellectual property,
    investment, and e-commerce

-   Authorizes the President to negotiate any other priority and allows
    use of TPA as long as the priority:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   \- is directly related to trade;

-   \- is consistent with U.S. sovereignty;

-   \- is trade expanding and not protectionist; and

-   \- does not affect a country's ability to make changes to its laws
    that consistent with sound macroeconomic development

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Preserves the Administration's authority to negotiate "side
    agreements" (or matters that are not directly related to trade)
    under the President's executive authority, requiring that the normal
    legislative procedures be used to implement such agreements

-   Bills qualifying for TPA may contain, if changes in existing laws or
    new statutory authority are required to implement a trade agreement,
    provisions necessary or appropriate to implement the trade agreement

-   Applies to trade agreements entered into by June 1, 2005, with an
    extension to June 1, 2007 available unless Congress passes a
    resolution disapproving the extension

-   Expands and improves consultations between the Administration and
    Congress before, during, and after trade negotiations and in the
    development of an implementing bill

**FM Auction No. 37 Postponed**

Report No. AUC-01-37-H (Auction No. 37)

By this Public Notice, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau and the
Mass Media Bureau (collectively, the "Bureaus") hereby announce the
postponement of Auction No. 37 for vacant non-reserved band FM
allotments, which was previously scheduled to begin on December 5, 2001.

On July 3, 2001, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit in *National Public Radio, Inc. et al., v. FCC*, Nos.
00-1246, 00-1255 (decided July 3, 2001) ("*NPR*") vacated the portion of
the Commission's *Noncommercial Report and Order,* 15 FCC Rcd 7386
(2000), that required noncommercial educational ("NCE") entities that
applied for authorizations in the non-reserved spectrum to participate
in auctions with mutually exclusive commercial applicants.[^1] Each of
the vacant non-reserved FM band allotments included in Auction No. 37 is
potentially impacted by *NPR*. Accordingly, the Bureaus announce that
they will postpone Auction No. 37 while the Commission formulates its
response to the *NPR* decision. Therefore, the previously announced
filing window for FCC Form 175 submissions is cancelled, and Auction No.
37 FCC Form 175 applications will not be accepted as previously
scheduled.[^2] Further information, including a revised FM Auction No.
37 schedule, will be announced in forthcoming Commission notices.

For additional information concerning this proceeding, contact Kathy
Garland, Auctions and Industry Analysis Division, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau at (717) 338-2888; Kenneth Burnley, Legal
Branch, Auctions and Industry Analysis Division, Wireless
Telecommunications Bureau at (202) 418-0660; or Lisa Scanlan, Audio
Services Division, Mass Media Bureau at (202) 418-2700.

APPENDIX C

TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS TO COMMISSION RULES

[§ 76.5(ii) Definitions.]{.underline}

Existing Section 76.5(ii) references Section 76.5(o). The correct
reference is to Section 76.5(m).

[§ 76.51(a)(2), (a)(28) Major Television Markets.]{.underline}

Section 76.51 lists the top 100 television markets in the United States.
The "Los Angeles-San Bernardino-Corona-Fontana-Riverside, Calif." market
is listed at Section 76.51(a)(2). In 1995, the Commission redesignated
the "Los Angeles-San Bernardino-Corona-Fontana-Riverside, Calif.,"
market as the "Los Angeles-San Bernardino-Corona-Riverside-Anaheim,
Calif." market.[^1] However, the published amendment to Section 76.51(a)
intended to effectuate the foregoing change inadvertently amended
Section 76.51(a)(28), rather than Section 76.51(a)(2). As a result, the
redesignated "Los Angeles-San Bernardino-Corona-Riverside-Anaheim,
Calif." market is listed as Section 76.51(a)(28) and the "Los
Angeles-San Bernardino-Corona-Fontana-Riverside, Calif." market still is
listed as Section 76.51(a)(2). The "Tampa-St. Petersburg-Clearwater,
Florida" market, which was listed at Section 76.51(28) at the time the
Commission adopted the *Los Angeles Redesignation Order*, was deleted
inadvertently from Section 76.51(a)(28) and currently is not listed
elsewhere in Section 76.51.

The correct reference in Section 76.51(a)(2) is to the "Los Angeles-San
Bernardino-Corona-Riverside-Anaheim, Calif." market. The correct
reference in Section 76.51(a)(28) is to the "Tampa-St.
Petersburg-Clearwater, Florida" market.

[§ 76.67(a) Sports Broadcasts.]{.underline}

The existing rule references criteria set forth in Section 76.5(gg) in
identifying the broadcast television stations triggering the rule's
application. The Commission deleted Section 76.5(gg) in its 1993 Order
rescinding cable service rate regulation.[^2] Thus, Section 76.67 now
references a non-existent rule. In paragraph 37 of the *Notice*, we seek
comment on whether we should reinstate a standard based upon the
original criteria incorporated into Section 76.5(gg) or adopt a new
standard.

[§ 76.92 Network non‑duplication; extent of protection.]{.underline}

The existing Note to Section 76.92 references Section 76.658(m) in the
last sentence. The correct reference is to Section 73.658(m), as
correctly stated in the second sentence of the Note.

[^1]: *Cable Television Service; List of Major Television Markets*,
    Final Rule, MM Dkt. No. 93-304 (released August 31, 1995) (the "*Los
    Angeles Redesignation Order*").

Honorable Alice Seagren

Commissioner of Education

Minnesota Department of Education\
1500 Highway 36 West\
Roseville, Minnesota 55113-4266

Dear Commissioner Seagren:

During the week of August 9-13, 2004, a team from the U. S. Department
of Education's (ED) Student Achievement and School Accountability
Programs (SASA) reviewed the Minnesota Department of Education's (MDE)
administration of the following programs authorized by the Elementary
and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child
Left Behind Act (NCLB): Title I, Part A; Title I, Part B, Subpart 3; and
Title I, Part D. Also reviewed was Title X, Part C, Subtitle B, of the
ESEA (also known as the McKinney-Vento Homeless Education Assistance
Improvements Act of 2001). Enclosed is a report based upon this review.

The reauthorization of ESEA under NCLB brought a major shift in emphasis
and priorities for education at all levels in this country. With
increased emphasis on accountability for [all]{.underline} students, and
a focus on States' responsibilities to work with districts and schools
to improve instruction and boost student achievement, SASA is committed
to working closely with States in these areas and has developed a
monitoring process aligned to the changes brought about by NCLB. Under
this process, monitoring is conducted in three broad areas:
accountability, instructional support, and compliance with fiduciary
responsibilities. In preparation for the monitoring visit and during the
onsite review, SASA staff conducted a number of activities (described in
detail in the enclosed report) to verify compliance with applicable
statutes and regulations.

The enclosed report contains a listing of the critical monitoring
elements in each of the areas, a description of the scope of the
monitoring review, and the findings, recommendations and commendations
that the team cited as a result of the review. Within 30 business days
of the date of this letter, please provide us with a detailed
description of the actions your office has taken or will take regarding
any findings noted in this report.

The ED team would like to thank Jessie Montano and her staff,
particularly Pat King and Greg Marcus, for their hard work and the
assistance they provided prior to and during the review in gathering
materials and providing access to information in a timely manner. The ED
team was impressed with the efforts of your staff to implement statewide
the many requirements of the selected Title I and Title X programs of
the ESEA.

We look forward to working further with your staff on any follow-up
activities, and in assisting them to improve the delivery of education
services in Minnesota.

> Sincerely,
>

The Art of

Executive Protection

RL Oatman & Assoc., Inc is requesting the following addition to our
existing GSA contract number GS-02F-0157R. This book is used as a
training aid in the course under that contract number and falls within
the scope of SIN 27-400. A brief description of the book follows.

The Art of Executive Protection is about a highly specialized form of
defensive warfare-modern executive protection. Its foundation rests on
the doctrine of Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese military strategist whose
philosophy still rings true. His central maxim is that one must plan
secretly, move surreptitiously, and foil the enemies' intentions, so
that the day may be won without shedding a drop of blood. That is the
essence of executive protection- the avoidance of conflict through
intelligent, proactive thinking. Add to that the demeanor of a quiet,
dignified, and capable professional, and you have a description of a
modern day executive protection practitioner.

But The Art of Executive Protection goes far beyond the philosophy. It
is a practical work that benefits from the experience of a highly
skilled provider of executive protection services. Robert L. Oatman has
written a guide for both executives seeking protection and those who
would protect them. Among other topics, the book covers protection
choreography, advance security preparations, the hazards of domestic and
international travel, workplace violence, threat assessment, and
training.

The book also discusses suitable preparations for someone interested in
an executive protection career-what it takes to break into the field and
succeed. For executives, prominent families, celebrities, or others in
need of protection services, this book offers real-world advice about
determining the need for protection in the first place and about
avoiding the "bodyguard" and finding the protection specialist.
