# ABSTRACT

# Short-Term Teacher Training Seminar in Jordan 2005

# Center for Middle East Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara

The Center for Middle East Studies at the University of California,
Santa Barbara will conduct a short-term training seminar in Jordan for
20 California-based K-12 teachers, administrators, and instructors
working at two- or four-year colleges. The seminar is designed to
strengthen the knowledge of Middle Eastern society and culture among
California educators who teach or administer social studies and
humanities curricula. The goal of the seminar is to expand the network
of experienced teachers who will foster curriculum development in Middle
East area studies and the Arabic language. The seminar will consist of
daily lectures and field trips in Amman, other parts of Jordan, and a
short trip to Damascus, Syria. Participants will meet with Jordanian
Ministry of Education officials, educators, NGO representatives and
students, in order to establish ongoing curricular exchange networks via
the Internet and personal contacts. They will visit a wide range of
educational institutions including public and private schools,
university education facilities, community colleges, literacy training
programs, handicraft and vocational training centers. A special focus of
the seminar will be daily Arabic language classes for non-specialists in
order to introduce the basic elements of Arabic language culture into
K-12 curriculum. UCSB faculty and Jordanian experts will lecture in the
areas of archeology, Islam and religious studies, Middle East history,
social studies, politics, and culture. Classroom discussions will be
accompanied by field trips to archeological, historical, cultural, and
religious sites in Jordan and Syria.

Firewise Community Workshop Invitation Letter

(on agency letterhead)

September 16, 2002

Dear Dennis Clark,

Although headline news stories tend to feature wildfire threatening
homes in California, the wildland/urban interface problem they describe
is not exclusively a western phenomenon.

In South Carolina we fight more than 4,000 wildfires a year -- many more
than most western states. The difference has been that, until relatively
recently, rural and urban areas in our state had discrete boundaries.
You might see the occasional home nestled in the woods but rarely an
entire community. All that has changed. Urban sprawl is rampant in South
Carolina. And wildfire in these areas is tough to control. As
development increases, lives and property will be threatened as never
before.

To learn more about the problem and begin working with us on some
solutions, I invite you to participate in South Carolina's first
Firewise Community workshop to be held at Harbison State Forest
Environmental Education Center on Tuesday, October 15.

This one-day workshop will bring together citizens and community leaders
involved in planning, developing, building, sustaining and protecting
wildland-urban interface communities. Its format emphasizes
participation and creative problem solving. I believe you will find it
an informative, enjoyable, interesting and productive experience.

I have enclosed directions to Harbison State Forest along with a
workshop agenda and registration form. Please complete the registration
form and fax to: 803-896-8880. If you are not able to attend and have a
colleague who might be interested, please share the registration
information. There is no charge to participate in this workshop.

I look forward to seeing you on October 15. We'll begin at 9 o'clock. If
you have questions about the workshop, contact Jennie Morris,
803-896-8852 (<jmorris@forestry.state.sc.us>) or Anne Kyle 803-896-8845
(<akyle@forestry.state.sc.us>).

Sincerely

Bob Schowalter

State Forester
Dear Ms. Williams,

I am writing in response to the Notice of Inquiry entitled "Injurious
Wildlife Species Review of Information Concerning Constrictor Snakes
from Python, Boa, and Eunectes genera", dated January 31rst, 2008.

I am the owner operator of Bushmaster Reptiles Inc. We are the direct
importers of 14 of the possible 28 species or sub species which fall
into the above Genera. Bushmaster Reptiles Inc was established in Jan.
of 1993, and has been operating as an importer for the past 15 years.
Bushmaster is also a member of PIJAC.

The importation of the above listed genera of snakes represents
approximately 50% of our overall business. Our clients include Private
Breeders, Pet Trade, Zoo's and academic institutions.

1)  The State of Colorado does not require any permits to keep any of
    the species in the genus Python, Boa, or Eunectes. However, there
    are many local ordinances which prohibit the keeping of snakes
    regardless of genus or species based on their length. These local
    ordinances vary from county to county, and city to city.

2)  With the exception of Eunectes deschauenseei, all of the species in
    the above mentioned genus are either in trade now, or have been in
    trade at some point in the past 40 years. Most if not all of the
    species in the above mentioned genus have been or are currently
    being bred successfully in captivity. Furthermore, it is a
    conservative estimate, that 50,000 to 70,000 Pythons, and 20,000 to
    30,000 Boas are imported into the US every year. A limited number
    (less than 500) Eunectes are imported into the US every year.

3)  We estimate conservatively that there are more than 5000
    "businesses" nationwide that rely on income from breeding or
    importing these listed genera to make their living. There are
    probably another 5000 or more individual businesses which make their
    living selling support products to those businesses which are
    breeding or importing snakes in the above mentioned genera. The
    total amount in generated U.S. revenue nationwide would be in the
    tens of millions of dollars.

4)  There is no danger for any of the snakes in the above listed genera
    to populate, or become injurious to wildlife in the State of
    Colorado, or for that matter in 48 of the 50 states! Simply put,
    they could not adapt or survive the climates or habitats. Of the two
    sates where it is possible, Hawaii does not allow importation of any
    non native species into their state. This leaves Florida, where
    there have been many non native species which have established
    themselves. This indicates a problem at the State level, and not a
    Federal issue at all.

> In conclusion, we recognize the situation with regards to the
> population of two species of snakes P.m.bivittatus, and Boa
> constrictor to be of some concern in south Florida, we do not believe
> it to be one of national concern.

Respectfully,

Kamuran Tepedelen

**Avalanches Close Road to Paradise**

Avalanches buried the road to Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park
late last week, and crews are still clearing the debris.

"We've had so much snow in the past few weeks that we've seen snow slide
in areas where it hasn't released in years," said park information
officer Lee Taylor. Warm weather and rain on Friday and Saturday caused
more than 10 natural avalanches to hit the road. In addition, the
National Park Service used explosives to set off an avalanche on one
particularly threatening slope. The road is buried up to 15 feet deep in
some places.

"This is not a normal plowing operation," said Michael Ray, who
supervises snow removal operations at the park. "The avalanche debris is
as heavy as concrete and can only be removed by bulldozer or blower.
It's going to take us a number of days to clear the road."

The road has been closed since February 5 due to heavy snow and extreme
avalanche danger. Although visitors may not be able to get to Paradise
for sledding this weekend, there will be public snowshoe walks at
Longmire, and there is good trail access for snowshoeing and cross
country skiing from there. An array of businesses is open in gateway
communities to serve travelers.

The status of the road will be reassessed later in the week.

**LATEX ALLERGIES: KNOW THE FACTS**

Millions of people wear latex gloves everyday without any type of
allergic reaction. But did you know that you can develop a latex allergy
at any time? Latex allergy is a reaction to certain proteins in latex
rubber.

Latex allergies usually develop through skin contact. However, you can
also be exposed when the lubricant powder used in some gloves becomes
airborne as workers change gloves.

Latex protein in the powder can trigger reactions that range from mild
to severe and life threatening. Reactions vary but may consist of a red
rash on the hands, or in more serious cases, difficulty breathing. If
you suspect you may have latex allergy, see your doctor and, if
possible, avoid contact with latex.

Whether you're allergic or not, follow these precautions if you use
latex gloves:

**Don't** use oil-based or petroleum based hand creams or lotions; they
cause glove deterioration.

**Wash** your hands with a mild soap and dry them thoroughly after
removing gloves.

**Clean** areas and equipment contaminated with latex powder on a
frequent basis.

**Learn** to recognize the symptoms of latex allergy: hives, itching,
eye or sinus irritation, wheezing, breathing difficulty and (in very
severe cases) shock.

**Caution:** Although the Food and Drug Administration now requires that
manufactures label all medical products containing latex, your workplace
may still have items that were purchased before this requirement with
into effect.

Dear Secretary Salas:

Thank you and the rest of the Federal Communications Commission for the
courageous stand you took on July 21, 2000. Your ruling on video
description, coupled with your previous rulings on captioning for Deaf
and hard-of-hearing people, shows me that the FCC is truly committed to
giving *all* Americans fair access to entertainment as well as news and
emergency information. Since many of my friends are visually impaired, I
cannot tell you how excited I am when I think about April, 2002.

The petitioners have not introduced any new information that was not
already known when you reached your previous decision. Do not let those
with clear political or financial motives keep you from doing what is
right. Please ensure that all people with visual impairments have equal
access to television and the movies.

Steven Bisker, Esq.

Suite 100

Alexandria, VA 22314

Re: Change in Number of FCU Directors.

Dear Mr. Bisker:

You have asked if the directors of a federal credit union (FCU) may
amend Article VI, Section 1 of the FCU Bylaws and reduce the number of
directors by majority vote. You have also asked if the directors may
amend Article VI, Section 2 to change the number of employees permitted
to be directors by majority vote. Changes in the number of directors or
the number of employees permitted to be directors are amendments to the
FCU's bylaws and, therefore, require a two-thirds vote of an FCU's
board.

The Federal Credit Union Act requires the FCU bylaws to address the
number and election of an FCU's directors. 12 U.S.C. §1761(a). The FCU
Bylaws require FCU boards to number between five and 15 members and
allow FCU boards to change the number of directors by resolution. FCU
Bylaws, Article VI, §1. FCUs may not reduce the number of directors
unless a corresponding number of board seats are vacant.
[Id]{.underline}. Assuming the required number of seats are vacant, the
issue is what proportion of the board is required to adopt a resolution
changing the number of directors. Because this resolution is, in fact,
amending the bylaws, the FCU Bylaws require a two-thirds vote of the
FCU's board. [Id]{.underline}. Article XVII.

Requiring the bylaw amendment process for changes to the number of
directors prevents small minorities of a board from acting to manipulate
or concentrate control. For example, in an FCU with nine directors, six
directors would have to approve any increase or decrease in the number
of directors. [Id]{.underline}. With a simple majority requirement,
however, a quorum could be as few as five members, and three members (a
majority of five) could then determine the size of the board.
[See]{.underline} [id]{.underline}. Article VI, §7. Further, NCUA has
long used the term "resolution" in the context of bylaw amendments
requiring a two-thirds vote. For example, in the 1991 standard bylaws,
the paperwork for adopting a bylaw amendment was called a "Certificate
of Resolution." FCU Bylaws, 1991 ed., p. iv (copy attached). Adopting
this type of resolution required a two-thirds vote of the board.
[Id]{.underline}.

You note New York State's corporate law permits organizations to change
the number of directors by majority vote if the organization's bylaws
authorize the board to change the number of directors. While NCUA's
longstanding view is that state corporate law applies where the FCU
Bylaws are silent, in this case, the Bylaws are not silent. Accordingly,
New York State corporate law is not pertinent to this issue.

If you have further questions, please feel free to contact Staff
Attorney Elizabeth Wirick or me.

Sincerely,

> *Re: Federal-State Joint Board on Universal Service*

I am pleased that today the Commission addresses the list of supported
services that our universal service mechanism supports. We could not
have reached this decision without input from the Federal -- State Joint
Board on Universal Service. The Joint Board's recommendation greatly
informed today's decision and I wish to thank each member of that body
for their contributions.

Perhaps one of the more contentions questions on which the Joint Board
sought comment is whether the Commission should alter the manner in
which competitive eligible telecommunications carriers (ETCs) receive
universal service support. In connection with this question, some have
proposed that ETCs provide equal access to providers of long distance
services as a condition of receiving support. I have grave doubts about
imposing such a requirement and believe that doing so may well run afoul
of the statutory scheme. Reflexively imposing equal access on wireless
carriers fails to appreciate the distinct market and competitive
conditions of CMRS providers. I greatly appreciate the support of my
colleagues in reaching today's decision to consider this issue as part
of the *Portability* *Proceeding* pending before the Joint Board and the
Commission. That rulemaking will examine the process for designating
ETCs and rules relating to the funding of ETCs in rural areas. I look
forward to further consideration of the impact of these rules -
particularly as they relate to wireless carriers - in that proceeding.
We should complete it expeditiously.

Enclosed please find a grant \"Functional Annotation of the Procine
Secretome\" for submission to the Cooperative State Research, Education
and Extension Service. This proposal is a collaboration between myself
and several scientists (primarily Scott Fahrenkrug) at the University of
Minnesota. The objectives of the grant are to identify and fully
sequence full length cDNAs for proteins secreted by the uterus and
conceptus during pregnancy (to be at Minnesota) and also to identify
proteins secreted into the intrauteine environment during early
pregnancy in pigs (to be done at MARC). Confirmation of whether a cDNA
corresponds to a secreted protein relies on the identification of the
secreted protein in uterine flushings. In turn, identification of the
secreted protein by 2D-PAGE and Mass Spectrometry is improved when the
full-length sequence of the cDNA is available. Thus, this collaboration
will enhance both our efforts to accomplish our goals, which is to
define the complement of secreted proteins that act to communicate
between the uterus and the developing conceptus during pregnancy. This
information will enhance our understanding of the physiological
mechanisms involved in conceptus development and pregnancy success of
swine, and will result in improvements in swine production.

This is a program that fits well within the mission of the USDA-ARS

**Released: June 22, 2001**

**WIRELESS TELECOMMUNICATIONS BUREAU ANNOUNCES THAT FOREST INDUSTRIES
TELECOMMUNICATIONS IS CERTIFIED AS A FREQUENCY COORDINATOR FOR 800/900
MHz BUSINESS AND INDUSTRIAL/LAND TRANSPORTATION FREQUENCIES**

On April 18, 2001, the Public Safety and Private Wireless Division,
Wireless Telecommunications Bureau (Bureau), released an *Order* finding
it in the public interest to expand competition among frequency
coordinators in the 800 MHz and 900 MHz private land mobile radio (PLMR)
frequencies.[^1] Additionally, the Division concluded that United
Telecom Council (UTC), the Industrial Telecommunications Association,
Inc. (ITA), the Personal Communications Industry Association, Inc.
(PCIA), and MRFAC, Inc. (MRFAC) - - each of which was already certified
as a frequency advisory committee (FAC) for the Industrial/Business
(I/B) Pool of PLMR frequencies below 512 MHz, and each of which had
requested certification for 800 MHz and 900 MHz bands - - were qualified
to be FACs for 800 MHz and 900 MHz Business and Industrial/Land
Transportation (I/LT) frequencies.[^2] Consequently, UTC, ITA, PCIA, and
MRFAC were certified to coordinate those PLMR frequencies.

Other FACs currently certified to coordinate below 512 MHz I/B
frequencies were invited to perform the same function for frequencies in
the 800 MHz and 900 MHz Business and I/LT categories.[^3] They were
provided with forty-five days from the date the *Order* was released
(April 18, 2002) to notify the Bureau of their intention to coordinate
these frequencies.[^4] The forty-five days has elapsed with only one
other FAC indicating interest in coordinating the 800 MHz and 900 MHz
PLMR frequencies. Specifically, by correspondence dated April 25, 2001,
Forest Industries Telecommunications (FIT) has provided the required
notification.[^5] We hereby certify FIT to coordinate 800 MHz and 900
MHz Business and I/LT channels.

the Bureau's decision. We therefore deny CECR's Application for Review
and affirm the Bureau's decision for the reasons stated therein.

3.  Accordingly, pursuant to section 5(c)(5) of the Communications Act,
    as amended, 47

U.S.C. § 155(c)(5), and section 1.115(g) of the Commission's rules, 47
C.F.R. § 1.115(g), the Application for Review filed by The Committee for
Effective Cellular Rules on December 3, 1992 IS DENIED.

**PRESS STATEMENT OF FCC CHAIRMAN WILLIAM F. KENNARD**

**ON UNAUTHORIZED RELEASE OF COMMISSION DOCUMENTS**

Washington, DC \-- Recently, we have had the misfortune of witnessing
the leaks of several pre-decisional Commission documents. In each of
these instances, I have asked our Inspector General, Walker Feaster, to
investigate these leaks.

We are only aware of these leaks, however, if someone tells us about
them, or worse, if we read about them in the press. While we cannot and
should not deny the press its freedom to speak, we can require that
parties regulated or practicing before this Commission return any
documents improperly leaked from the Commission. While this requirement
cannot prevent a leak, it will inform us that a leak has occurred. By
prohibiting the party that receives the item from further distributing
it, we also help alleviate the inequities inherent in one party having
access to information that an opposing party may not. It is not too much
to expect parties who appear before the Commission to do their part to
respect and promote the integrity of our processes.

This Commission cannot, and should not, tolerate leaks of internal,
nonpublic Commission documents. We must protect the integrity of the
Commission's decision-making process. This item helps us to do so.

**MEDIATION PROCESS**

I.  **[PURPOSE]{.underline}**: This instruction supplements
    Handbook-1-3550, Chapter 1, "Introduction to the Field Office
    Handbook".

II. **[PARAGRAPH 1.9 D. 1.Requests for Mediation or ADR]{.underline}**:
    Procedure for processing a request for mediation or alternative
    dispute resolution.

A program participant may request mediation or Alternative Dispute
Resolution (ADR) services after receiving HB-1-3550 Chapter 1 Attachment
1-B or 1-D (adverse decision) from either the Rural Development Local
Office or the Centralized Servicing Center. In either case, the
participant is instructed to send their request for mediation to the
attention of the State Director at the State Office (S/O). The request
for mediation must be postmarked no later than 30 days from the date of
the adverse decision.

### The S/O Single Family Housing Staff will complete the following tasks WITHIN 2 BUSINESS 

**days of receiving the request:**

1\. Compare the post-mark date of the request with the date the adverse
decision was issued to

determine if the participant qualifies for mediation.

2.  Send a letter to the participant informing them they either A.)
    qualify for mediation and their

> request has been sent to the Local Office (L/O) for further
> processing, or B) their request did not
>
> fall within the 30 day timeframe and they no longer qualify for
> mediation or an appeal.

3.  Document in the global note section of FASTeller that the applicant
    has requested mediation and

> the outcome of number 2 above.

4.  If necessary, fax a copy of the participant's request, supporting
    documentation, and S/O letter to

> the L/O.

A.  **The L/O will complete the following tasks WITHIN 5 BUSINESS days
    of receiving the request**

**from the S/O:**

1.  Review the participant's case-file to determine if a solution is
    available that would resolve the

> participant's concern without going to mediation. If so, implement the
> solution. The CSC has
>
> agreed to accept decisions rendered by the S/O or L/O as part of the
> mediation process, provided
>
> the decision meets procedural guidelines.

2.  If the Local Office concurs with the adverse decision and a solution
    that would resolve the

> participant's concern is not available, send Attachment 1-E to the
> participant and Attachment 1-F
>
> to the Michigan Agricultural Mediation Program. Include the name,
> address and telephone
>
> number of the participant on attachment 1-F. The Local Office will
> always have jurisdiction over
>
> the case, regardless of who issued the
>
> adverse decision.

The Michigan Agricultural Mediation Program will contact the Local
Office and the participant to arrange a time and location for the
mediation. This may be conducted by telephone or in person depending on
the situation.
