• The Pesticide Education Project

State Rep. Grier Martin, a Wake County Democrat who was among the bill's 28 co-sponsors, calls Pest Ed "invaluable" in its work on the bill, and lauded the group's expertise. "The bill doesn't say that pesticides can't be used, but that you should use them intelligently, not the 'spray and pray' approach. Ned Dillon, compliance manager for the N.C. Structural Pest Control Board, is an unlikely ally. He supports IPM and Pest Ed's initiative because "it's a very good idea. I think you're always going to have to have pesticides, but it's important to learn when you need them and when you don't Any time you can use IPM in lieu of pesticides alone, that will be beneficial."

• Native American Career and Technical Education Program; Proposed Waivers and Extension of the Project Period; CFDA Number 84.101A

For 60-month projects funded in fiscal year (FY) 2007 under the Native American Career and Technical Education Program (NACTEP), the Secretary proposes to waive the regulations that generally restrict project periods to 60 months and that restrict project period extensions involving the obligation of additional Federal funds. The Secretary also proposes to extend the current NACTEP project periods through FY 2013. These proposed waivers and extension of the project period would enable the 30 current NACTEP grantees to request and continue to receive Federal funding beyond the 60-month limitation contained in the Department's regulations. Further, the waivers and extension, as proposed, would mean that we would not announce new awards in FY 2012.

• Black Belt Coaching and Project Outcomes: An Empirical Investigation

This study investigates the impact of coaching expertise on project management outcomes within Six Sigma programs. Survey data were collected from 140 Black Belts and 176 team members at six organizations. In this research, the relationships between the independent variables (project characteristics, coaching expertise, employee focus, years of experience, number of projects completed, education level, and number of projects in a team) and the dependent variables (project management outcomes) were tested using linear regression. The data were analyzed for two groups-Black Belts and team members-using descriptive statistics, principle component factor analysis, correlation, and regression analysis. The results of the regression analyses showed that the independent variable coaching exper...
