SUBJECT:  Limited Resource Farmers


ISSUE:

Reinsured companies and their agents need to be aware of and take appropriate 
steps to assure that limited resource, minority,  and socially disadvantaged 
farmers are included in the USDA safety net provided by Federally
subsidized crop insurance.

BACKGROUND:

When the Federal Crop Insurance Reform Act of 1994 eliminated disaster 
assistance and the Federal Agricultural Improvement and Reform Act of 1996
eliminated many farm programs, Federally subsidized crop insurance became
the primary safety net for most American farmers. To assure that all
producers are able to afford at least the Catastrophic level of risk protection
(CAT), the CAT Endorsement and Section 4C(1) of the CAT Handbook provides 
procedure for waiving the administrative fee for limited resource farmers.
A limited resource farmer is a producer with an annual gross income of
$20,000 or less.  Producers must certify eligibility for this benefit.
The Certification Form can be found in Exhibit 24 of the CAT Handbook. 

As a private sector delivery partner of the USDA  safety net, reinsured 
companies and their agents share the responsibility to reach out to
limited resource, minority, and socially disadvantaged farmers. 
 
The Economic Research Service (ERS) has issued a report which provides 
information about limited resource and socially disadvantaged farmers.
The USDA definition of a socially disadvantaged group is one whose members
have been subjected to racial or ethnic prejudice because of their
identity as members of a group without regard to their individual qualities. 
Those groups include African Americans, American Indians or Alaskan natives, 
Hispanics, and Asians or Pacific Islanders.  ERS has added women to the
list of socially disadvantaged farm operators. This report may be ordered
by calling 1-800-999-6779.   Ask for Characteristics and Risks Management
Needs of Limited-Resource and Socially Disadvantaged Farmers (AIB-733). 
The cost is $12. 

ACTION:

1.   All insurance providers should remind their employees and agents of 
     limited resource farmer procedures and of their responsibility to
     reach out to limited resource and socially disadvantaged farmers.

2.   Insurance providers are encouraged to make their agents aware of the 
     availability and content of the ERS report mentioned above.

Dear FDA,
 
Regarding genetically modified foods:
 
* The FDA must require mandatory pre-market comprehensive 
  environmental review. Unlike conventional pollutants, 
  where a given amount of pollutant causes a limited amount 
  of damage, a small number of mutant genes could have a 
  population explosion and reproduce forever, causing 
  unlimited and irreparable damage.

* The FDA must require mandatory pre-market long-term health 
  testing. GE products could be toxic, cause allergic 
  responses, have lower nutritional value, and compromise 
  immune responses in consumers.

* The FDA must require mandatory labeling of GE products. 
  Without mandatory labeling, neither consumers nor health 
  professionals will know if an allergic or toxic reaction 
  was the result of a genetically engineered food. Consumers 
  would be deprived of the critical knowledge needed to hold 
  food producers liable should any of these novel products 
  be hazardous.

* The FDA must end its cozy relationship with the industries
  it purports to be regulating. People have been allowed to 
  work for a biotech company, then work for the FDA writing the 
  regulatory rules on that company's product, then go back to
  working for the company.  Ninety-two percent of FDA advisory 
  committee meetings had at least one conflict of interest.
 
There is not enough research on genetically modified foods to determine
that they are not harmful and the health of the American people is at stake.
This should be a more important consideration than the profits of corporations.
If your spouse or child or grandchild died because they ate a genetically
engineered product that hadn't been properly tested, how would you feel?

QUESTION:
Is there a posibility of using nuclear power to propel a craft through
space? What are the advantages of this?

ANSWER from Andrew Petro on January 22, 1999:
Nuclear power is certainly a possibility for propelling a spacecraft to
Mars.  The project that I work on is a plasma rocket which requires a
lot of electrical power to operate.  For a large scale spacecraft we
would probably use a nuclear power generator to provide the electrical
power.  There are several other types of electric propulsion for which
you would probably do the same thing.  There are also designs for
nuclear-thermal rockets which use the nuclear power directly to heat the
rocket exhaust.  The advantages of nuclear power are that it provides a
lot of power compared to the size of the generator, the generators run
for a very long time without refueling, and they work no matter how far
you are from the sun - which is important as we attempt missions to the
outer planets.  (Even at Mars, the intensity of sunlight is about 1/3rd
of that at Earth, so solar power doesn't work as well.)  In the case of
nuclear thermal propulsion, the exhaust gas is radioactive - which is a
problem since it is dangerous to test the rocket on Earth.  Electric
propulsion systems don't have that problem since they only use the
electricity produced by the nuclear reactor (just like the power plants
that we have on Earth).  Nuclear reactors in space will need large
radiators to reject the excess heat that they produce (on Earth we use
big cooling towers - but that won't work in space).  If we use nuclear
reactors in space we will need to be very careful about making sure that
they are safe when we launch them and making sure that they cannot fall
back to Earth where they could crash and cause problems.  (Nuclear
reactors have already been used in space on some satellites.)  Nuclear
reactors may also be useful as a power supply for a crew living on the
surface of Mars - since the same problem exists with solar power at that
distance.

Check out the January '99 issue of Popular Science - it has a story
about Mars missions - and our spacecraft design (plasma rocket) is on
the cover.

BeppoSAX GRB000424  


On April 24 at 18:18:07 UT a burst (GRB000424: BATSE trigger 8086)
was detected in WFC (2-26 keV). BeppoSAX GRBM was switched-off because of
proximity to SAGA.
The position is:
 
R.A.= 104.718
 
Decl.= 49.873
 
with an error radius of 2.5'.
 
A fast position distribution and a follow -up with BeppoSAX NFI could not
be performed because of the holiday period in Italy (see also GCN 634 and
BeppoSAX mail n.00/06).

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  March 23, 1988

        FTC SHOULD STRIVE FOR A LEVEL OF STEADY ACTIVISM,
       COMMISSIONER STRENIO TELLS AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION

     Federal Trade Commissioner Andrew J. Strenio Jr. today said
that the FTC should "strive for a level of steady activism,"
noting that in the past the agency "repeatedly has been buffeted
by Congressional explosions generated by extremes of agency
activity or inactivity."
     "Each explosion causes extensive reactions at the agency,
and moves the FTC toward the other extreme.  Then the cycle
starts all over again," he told the American Bar Association.
     This "level of steady activism" might also be called a
dynamic equilibrium, he noted.  "Attaining and maintaining a
dynamic equilibrium requires that the agency grow and change,
neither lagging too far behind nor rushing too far ahead of what
the times demand and allow."
     Commissioner Strenio also suggested that the Commission
"should embark upon a series of targeted hearings, such as the
recently completed hearing on consumer problems of older
Americans."  He mentioned four subject areas the Commission might
look at.
     First, "it is time to reassess the role of the FTC with an
eye to the remainder of the century.  We should conduct a review
of the FTC's existence over the past 75 years that distills
wisdom from the accumulated experience and provides direction for
the future," Strenio said.
     Second, the FTC "could make a major contribution to the
resolution of several raging controversies by providing a forum
for dispassionate, factual examinations" of the issues.  Topics
for this category might include resale price maintenance and the
extent of consumer fraud.
     A third subject area might be "market failures that create a
need for stronger regulation."  The Commission "frequently has
commented upon government regulation that hurts consumers and
competition," but needs to look in the other direction, too, he
said.  For example, the Commission might look at consolidation
trends in the airline industry.
     Finally, Strenio said, "it is time to reexamine federalism
and redefine the relationship between the states and the FTC.
Particularly in light of recent developments, such as the larger
role of the states in antitrust and consumer protection law
enforcement, it is necessary to discuss these issues in a
systematic fashion."

                             (More)

Space Shuttle and low-Earth orbit spacecraft missions.  Joining
Henricks on the five-day mission are Kevin R. Kregel, pilot; Army
Major Nancy Sherlock, mission specialist; Donald A. Thomas,
Ph.D., mission specialist and Mary Ellen Weber, Ph.D., mission
specialist.

     Henricks, 42, has flown on two previous Shuttle missions,
STS-44 in November 1991 and STS-55 in April 1993.  He was born in
Bryan, Ohio, but considers Woodville, Ohio, his hometown. 
Henricks received a bachelor of science degree in civil
engineering from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1974 and a 
masters degree in public administration from Golden Gate
University in 1982.

     Kregel, 37, was born in New York City, but considers
Amityville, N.Y., his hometown.  He received a bachelor of
science degree in astronautical engineering from the Air Force
Academy in 1978 and a masters degree in public administration
from Troy State University in 1988.  STS-70 will be Kregel's 
first Shuttle mission.  He is a member of the astronaut class of
1992.

     Sherlock, 35, flew as a mission specialist on the STS-56
mission in April 1993.  She was born in Wilmington, Del., but
considers Troy, Ohio, her hometown.  Sherlock received a bachelor
of arts degree in biological science from Ohio State University
in 1980 and a master of science degree in safety engineering from
the University of Southern California in 1985.

     Thomas, 39, was a mission specialist on the STS-65 mission
in July 1994.  He was born in Cleveland, Ohio.  Thomas received a
bachelor of science degree in physics from Case Western Reserve
University in 1977.  He obtained his master of science and
doctorate degrees in materials science from Cornell University 
in 1980 and 1982, respectively.

     Weber, 32, was born in Cleveland, Ohio, but considers
Bedford Heights, Ohio, her hometown.  She received a bachelor of
science degree in chemical engineering from Purdue University in
1984.  Weber received her doctorate in physical chemistry from
the University of California, Berkeley.  She is a member of the
astronaut class of 1992 and STS-70 will be her first Shuttle 
flight.

Here, Sir, I might fairly take my leave, did not
a sense of moral, as well as patriotic duty, irresisti-
bly force upon me another important topic.
There is a subject, a most momentous and op-
probrious one, which stands not indeed in any ne-
cessary connection with my argument, but upon
which when recommending measures of West
Indian policy, it is impossible not to reflect, and
would be criminal to be silent.
The Slave Trade I How does that dreadful name
dishearten the patriot hopes of an Englishman,
who knows its horrors, and who has seen its per-
nicious effects! Could I forget, or doubt, that,
" Verily, and indeed, there is a God who governs
the earth ;" I still could not sincerely hold forth
the hope of a result finally beneficial to my coun-
try, from the measure recommended in these
sheets, or from any other scheme of policy how-
ever wise, while that pestilent iniquity is cherish-
ed. It would be like promising prosperity to a
prodigal, from arrangements of domestic economy,
while he refused to forsake the gaming table or
the race course; or health to a dropsical drunkard
from medicine, while he persisted in the nightly
debauch.
Yet I see my country still given up without
remorse to the unbridled career of slave trad-
ing speculators. As if amorous of guilt and of
ruin, we plunge deeper every day into that gulph
of African blood,

EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES--Teflon sediment sample splitters and plastic sieves
 

                                        October 26, 1972

QUALITY OF WATER BRANCH TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM NO. 73.07

Subject: EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES--Teflon sediment sample  
         splitters and plastic sieves

Preparation of bottom material and suspended-sediment samples
for analysis commonly requires subsampling of the original 
sample to provide material for several types of 
determinations. Sieving of these samples may be a necessary 
preliminary step in sample preparation. The sample should not 
come in contact with any metal equipment during either of 
these operations if determinations of metals are to be 
performed.  In response to this requirement, the St. Anthony 
Falls Project has designed and constructed a small sediment 
sample splitter of teflon. They also have designed plastic 
ring holders for use with nylon, teflon, or polyester sieve 
cloth.

Two models of sample splitters are available now: (1) for use 
with two 1000 ml beakers, and (2) for use with two flat pans 
(2-1/4" high).  Orders for splitters may be placed by 
Purchase Order to:

            District Engineer
            U.S. Army Engineer District, St. Paul, Minnesota
            Corps of Engineers
            1217 U.S. Post Office & Custom House
            St. Paul, Minnesota  55101

The cost is $85.00 each for either model.

Mr. John Skinner (FTS 612 725-2218) should be contacted 
directly regarding orders for sieve ring holders.  Sieve 
prices are not immediately available.

98            THE TRAIL OF  '98
that fell, the gap closed up, the march went on. The great army crawled up and over the summit. Far behind could we see them, hundreds, thousands, a countless host, all with " Klondike " on their lips and the lust of the gold-lure in their hearts. It was the Great Stampede.
" Klondike or bust," was the slogan. It was ever on the lips of those bearded men. " Klondike or bust"the strong man, with infinite patience, righted his overturned sleigh, and in the face of the blinding blizzard, pushed on through the clogging snow. " Klondike or bust "the weary, trail-worn one raised himself from the hole where he had fallen, and stiff, cold, racked with pain, gritted his teeth doggedly and staggered on a few feet more. " Klondike or bust "the fanatic of the trail, crazed with the gold-lust, performed mad feats of endurance, till nature rebelled, and raving and howling, he was carried away to die.
" 'Member Joe? " some one would say, as a pack-horse came down the trail with, strapped on it, a dead, rigid shape. " Joe used to be plumb-full of fun; always joshin' or takin' some guy off; well that's Joe."
Two weary, woe-begone men were pulling a hand-sleigh down from the summit. On it was lashed a man. He was in a high fever, raving, delirious. Half-crazed with suffering themselves, his partners plodded on unheedingly. I recognised in them the Bank clerk and the Professor, and I hailed them. From black hollows their eyes stared at me unre*
