Education Permit Frequently Asked Questions
Bald and Golden Eagle Act
What is the current status of Bald Eagles and Golden Eagles?
Bald Eagles were de-listed from the Endangered Species Act in 2007; however, both species of eagle are still federally protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.
Bald Eagle Management Guidelines and Permitting
What is different between the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act?
The primary difference is the definition of take. While eagles are protected under both laws, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act definition of take is more restrictive than the Migratory Bird Treaty Act definition of take. Both acts include possession (live or dead), injury, or killing as take, the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act includes also includes disturb under the definition of take.
Disturb has been defined under BGEPA as "to agitate or bother a bald or golden eagle to a degree that causes, or is likely to cause, based on the best scientific information available, 1) injury to an eagle, 2) a decrease in its productivity, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior, or 3) nest abandonment, by substantially interfering with normal breeding, feeding, or sheltering behavior"
Also, active eagle nests (any nest used within the last 10 years) are protected even if they are unoccupied (no adult, chick, or egg present).
Determining Whether an Activity May Disturb Nesting Bald Eagles
Alternative Energy Development
What are the current guidelines?
The most recent version of the Wind Turbine Guidelines can be found on the national Wind Energy Development Information site.
What if I am developing an alternative energy project other than wind?
Due to the quickly expanding and national scope of wind development, the first guidelines to be developed are for the wind industry. Additional guidelines are forthcoming. In the interim, if you plan on proposing an alternative energy project at any scale, please use the Wind Energy Development Information site as a basic guidance as to the process and information we will need. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the Migratory Bird staff and we will help you with your specific issue.
What is the process?
Please contact your local U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office early in the project development process so we can provide the best guidance possible to help you avoid and minimize any potential take. We strongly recommend the development of a Bird and Bat Conservation Strategy (formally called an ABPP). Permits are not available at this time to authorize the incidental take of migratory birds; however we are currently issuing permits to authorize the disturbance and potential take of Bald and/or Golden Eagles. Please contact your Migratory Bird Permit Office as early as possible to discuss if a permit is needed and any particulars surround your permit application.

I'm considering building my first bike. At the moment I ride a Windsor - The Hour, and I feel its time to move on. I want to build my own bike but I am not very certain the components I have selected will fit together.
I'm considering a Leader 725 2011 frame but I'm not sure it will mate with the Sugino BB I chose. The BB shell width is 68MM and the threading is English. Is this standard?
Also Im not sure which size headset will fit. I have tried looking at leader's site but it offered no information.
Those are my 2 main concerns. I think i will buy the parts and have my LBS assemble.
Thanks for you help!

BEIJING, China, August 15. IN the last session, the Russians were eliminated from medal contention by the upstart team from China. The question tonight was how the Russians, reigning World League and European Champions, would respond. Would they come out fighting to be spoilers with something to prove against the U.S.? Or would their nightmare of elimination continue?
The answer was written on the faces of the Russian players in the warm-up and it showed in their play. At 6:49 of the first period, the USA's Brenda Villa scored on a power play goal, starting what would be an avalanche of goals from Natalie Golda, Brittany Hayes, Jessica Steffens, Alison Gregorka and Moria van Norma. The 6 – 0 lead led to dominating 12 – 7 win and an automatic bye into the semi-finals.
Eight different players scored for the USA while. Elizabeth Armstrong and Jamie Hipp combined for 11 saves.
The Americans now have three days off to prepare for the semi-final match, a decided advantage in a sport as physically demanding as water polo.
In Group B play, Australia's Bronwen Knox scored four goals, in a win over the Netherlands. Should Hungary lose or tie Greece later tonight, Australia, with five points, would advance to the semi-finals atop the group. If the Hungarians win, they will advance with the bye.
The other game in group A, between Italy and China, will determine who advance to the quarterfinals in second and third position.

Planet Star Sky ShowWritten by The Night Sky Guy on July 9, 2010 – 10:30 am -
Friday through Sunday evening check out a close encounter between planet Venus and one of the brightest stars in the heavens.
Face towards the western horizon after sunset and look for the brightest star-like object about a third way up the sky. That is Venus – also known as the evening star. Once dusk sets in and it gets dark enough look just underneath Venus and you should see a fainter star pop out- Regulus. As an added bonus check out the planets Mars and Saturn too. The three planets are lined up like a row of ducks – quite a sight too!
By Saturday evening Venus-Regulus will be their closest to each other – only 1 degree apart – that is equal to the width of your finger held out at arms length. If you keep watch into Sunday and Monday you will notice Venus moving off towards the southwest – that is the actual motion of Venus in its orbit you can watch happening right before your eyes.
The lead member in the constellation Leo- the lion, Regulus marks the heart of the lion and lies 78 light years away. A hot blue-white star, it is about 3.5 times larger than our Sun and is a young teenager when it comes to star lifetimes at 300 million years old.
It is about 150 times fainter in the sky right now than Venus, yet it is still the 19th brightest star in the entire sky.

Junk Food Doesn't Just Go to Your Hips, it Gets into Your Bones

If you think junk food goes directly to your hips, you're right. But it gets worse. It gets into your hips, and into other bones in the body, too. Junk food, or more precisely, food that is high in fat and sugar, robs the skeleton of the building blocks it needs to grow and remain strong to ward off degenerative conditions like osteoporosis. The picture is not pretty.

The estimates in this report are based on the most recent data available from MEPS at the time the report was written. However, selected elements of MEPS data may be revised on the basis of additional analyses, which could result in slightly different estimates from those shown here. Please check the MEPS Web site for the most current file releases www.meps.ahrq.gov
AHRQ is the lead Federal agency charged with supporting research designed to improve the quality of health care, reduce its cost, address patient safety and medical errors, and broaden access to essential services. AHRQ sponsors and conducts research that provides evidence-based information on health care outcomes; quality; and cost, use, and access. The information helps health care decision makerspatients and clinicians, health system leaders, and policymakersmake more informed decisions and improve the quality of health care services.
Executive Summary
This report presents estimates of health insurance, access to care and use of care, and health status among women of different ages and racial/ethnic groups in America, as well as differences between men and women. Key findings include:
Health insurance
Hispanic women were more likely than women in any other racial/ethnic group to be uninsured in 1996.
Medicaid enrollment for women increased from 1987 to 1996.
Higher proportions of women than men were covered by Medicaid in both 1987 and 1996.
Access to and use of care
Women ages 18-29 were less likely than women in any other age group to have a usual source of care in 1996.
In 1996, womens total health care expenses were higher than mens for ambulatory care, prescription medicines, and home health services.
In 1996, black women were more likely than women from any other racial/ethnic group to have had a Pap smear or complete physical exam within the past 2 years.
Health status
The majority of women in America were in excellent, very good, or good health in 1996.
Women were more likely than men in 1996 to have functional limitations.
Hispanic and black women were more likely than white women to be in fair or poor health during 1996.
Return To Table Of Contents
Eliminating inequities in health and health care while promoting the prevention of disease and disability in America's women requires that women have adequate access to medical care. Gaps in health insurance status still exist between men and women, as do gaps in the use of health services between females in different racial/ethnic groups. Education and income are important factors that influence a woman's health status.
This report focuses on three key aspects of women's health. The first section introduces data on health insurance status for women as compared to men and describes racial/ethnic differences among women. The second section presents information on access to care and use of medical services, including gender differences and racial/ethnic differences among women for usual source of care, use of care, and preventive services. Finally, the third section depicts women's health status, including functional limitations. It compares men and women, as well as women of different racial/ethnic groups, income levels, and educational status.
Source of Data for This Report
The estimates presented in this report are drawn from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey (NMES) and the Household Component of the 1996 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). MEPS is the third in a series of medical expenditure surveys conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. It is a nationally representative survey that collects detailed information on health status, health care use and expenses, and health insurance coverage of individuals and families in the United States.
The estimates presented here are nationally representative of the civilian noninstitutionalized population age 18 and over. Charts that are for only part of the adult populationsuch as workers age 19 and over, people age 65 and over, or people ages 18-64are labeled to show which groups are included. All other charts are for adults age 18 and over.
MEPS data are released to the public in a number of formats, including public use data files and the printed MEPS Research Findings and MEPS Highlights series. The numbers shown in this chartbook are drawn from a variety of the Research Findings reports as well as additional analyses conducted by the MEPS staff. Specific sources for the information presented here are listed in the references section.
In some cases, totals may not add precisely to 100% as a consequence of rounding. The category "other," used in charts depicting racial/ethnic differences, includes a number of individuals identified as Asians, American Indians, Aleuts, Eskimos, or other races. The health of these groups is of interest, but MEPS includes too few individuals to present data on them separately. Only differences that are statistically significant at the 0.05 level are discussed in the text.
Section 1: Health Insurance
Although the majority of women in America had either public or private insurance in 1996, gender as well as racial/ethnic disparities continued to exist. The health insurance data presented here come from the 1996 MEPS and the 1987 NMES. Private health insurance was defined as insurance that provides coverage for hospital and physician care, including Medigap coverage but not including single-service coverage such as dental or vision insurance. The public health insurance category includes people who were not covered by private insurance but were covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or other public hospital/physician coverage. See Note 1 for information on health insurance data collection.
Overall, what is the health insurance status of American women?
In 1996, the majority of women age 18 and over (nearly 75%) had private insurance, another 14.8% had public insurance only, and 10.7% were uninsured.
Does women's health insurance status differ among racial/ethnic groups?
Women's health insurance coverage: 1996
How has Medicaid enrollment among women changed from 1987 to 1996?
How has Medicaid coverage changed for men and women changed from 1987 to 1996?
Section 2: Access and Use of Care
One measure of access to care is whether or not people have a usual source of carea person or place they usually go to if they are sick or need advice about their health. Use of health services can also serve as an assessment of access. Health insurance, income, and education are all factors that have been associated with a person's access to health care. Other factors that may influence access to care include availability of providers, facilities, and transportation.
This section describes women's usual source of care and use of services. Comparisons are made with access and use for men and among women of different racial/ethnic groups.
Does access to care vary by women's age?
Women ages 18-29 were more likely than women in any other age group to lack a usual source of care, while women age 85 and over were the least likely to be without a usual source of care.
Does the usual source of care for women vary by race/ethnicity?
Are health care expenses different for men and women?
Are payment sources different for men's and women's health care?
See Note 2 for definitions of payment sources.
Total health care expenses: 1996
Which health care services cost more for women than for men?
Health care expenses: 1996
Average per person health
care expenses for people
who had an expense: 1996
Return To Table Of Contents
Does inpatient hospitalization differ for men and women?
A higher percentage of women than men were hospitalized in 1996. However, among those with hospital stays, men were hospitalized longer than women.
People with at least one inpatient
hospital stay: 1996
Average number of nights per
hospital stay: 1996
Is use of home health services different for men and women?
Elderly women were more likely than elderly men to have at least one formal home health care visit in 1996.
People age 65 and over with
at least one formal home
health care visit: 1996
How does women's use of preventive services differ among racial/ethnic groups?
What influence does health insurance have on women's use of preventive health services?
Women under age 65 who had either private or public health insurance were more likely than uninsured women to have a Pap smear, a mammogram, or a complete physical examination within the past 2 years.
Is income associated with women's use of preventive health services?
Women with higher incomes (who often have more education) were more likely to have a Pap smear or mammogram within the past 2 years.
Section 3: Health Status
Health status is measured by asking the question, "Would you rate this person's health as excellent, very good, good, fair, or poor?" This section shows gender differences in health status and differences among women according to various characteristics.
Is health status different for women in various racial/ethnic groups?
In 1996, Hispanic and black women were more likely than white women to be in fair or poor health. Overall, however, the majority of women of all racial/ethnic groups were in excellent, very good, or good health.
Do women have more functional limitations than men have?
Overall, more women than men had functional limitations. White, black, and Hispanic women were significantly more likely than their male counterparts to report having any functional limitations. Functional limitations include difficulties walking, climbing stairs, grasping objects, reaching overhead, lifting, bending or stooping, or standing for long periods of time.
How are limitations related to health status for women?
How is education associated with health status?
How is income related to limitations?
Women who were poor or near poor were more likely than women in any of the higher income categories to have ADL or IADL limitations, activity limitations, or functional limitations.
The data presented in this report show that women:
When women are compared by racial/ethnic and income groups, the data show that:
Looking Ahead: Future MEPS Data
This report presents estimates of health insurance coverage, access to health care, and health status. Future data from MEPS will address additional aspects of health care, including:
MEPS is a unique data resource for monitoring our Nation's health care system. As an ongoing survey, MEPS produces data that can be used to examine changes over time.

Roenick: An exciting weekend for hockey in America
Wednesday, 02.15.2012 / 12:33 PM | Jeremy Roenick - NHL Network Contributor
NHL analyst and former All-Star
Jeremy Roenick
pens a weekly blog for NHL.com. "World According to JR" appears every Wednesday and includes Roenick's sharp, can't-miss opinions on What's Clicking and What's Missing in the National Hockey League.
Hockey Weekend Across America and the
Columbus Blue Jackets
Jeff Carter
are on my mind this week:
What's clicking?
Hockey Weekend Across America is coming up this weekend, and to be honest, I don't know why they didn't start this years ago. This is a great way to introduce hockey awareness to sports fans in the Unites States.
USA Hockey really has moved leaps and bounds ahead of where they were in the 1980s and '90s in their push to make hockey a much more popular sport. To get the awareness of hockey out there has been at the forefront of their mission, which I think is so important. Now NBC has pushed to get kids interested not only in the game, but the rivalries in the game, the logistics in the game, the competition.
With hockey being probably the least popular of the four major sports in the United States, it's very important that it's easy to find on television and people can understand what the game is about, the rules of the game. And USA Hockey has done a fantastic job of putting different programs together to show the sport to so many kids.
NBC has done a great job of allowing people to see the personality of the players and the competitiveness of the players. It's wonderful that on Sunday, which is Hockey Day in America, NBC is going to air three regional games plus two national games throughout the day.
They're going to show what a great Minnesota high school hockey rivalry is all about. They're going to give you the history of the National Team Development Program, which has been such a huge success for USA Hockey. They're going to show physically disabled people enjoying sled hockey in Tampa.
Back when I was younger it was the Olympics in 1980 that started the initial trend of excitement about hockey. It sparked kids to want to play, to be an Olympian. Then our generation put USA Hockey on the map.
Whether it was
Mike Modano
Brian Leetch
Chris Chelios
Doug Weight
Keith Tkachuk
or myself -- we put hockey on the map in the United States, and I'm very proud to be a part of that generation.
USA Hockey now has taken a hands-on approach to giving hockey the platform it needs to gain popularity. They've created leagues and skill-set programs and a partnership with NBC and the NHL that has allowed kids to learn about the players and what it's like to play hockey. Some of these programs have allowed kids the opportunity to afford to play hockey.
To make one day, one weekend around hockey, and make it easy to watch for the common, every-day sports fan, is so good for the game. We have a beautiful sport, and the more they can talk about it, show it, show the personalities of the players in the National Hockey League, the more inclined people are going to be to enjoy the sport, watch the sport, and maybe go out and get a pair of skates so they can play the sport.
The Canadians have always had a very strong youth program through Hockey Canada, and now hopefully everybody enjoys what NBC is going to do with USA Hockey and the NHL. Hopefully it'll help create the next generation of American superstars.
What's missing?
Along with
Rick Nash
, we're hearing
Jeff Carter
's name in the trade rumors.
When Carter came to Columbus over the summer, the people there had good feelings and were positive about the upcoming season, but Carter has not helped the Blue Jackets in any way, shape or form.
I think Carter is a dynamic hockey player, a great goal scorer, but he has not clicked.
It could be injuries. It could be a lack of cohesion. Or maybe it's just that he can't find his niche.
The point here is that Carter was very good in Philadelphia; he scored a lot of goals, worked hard, was in your face. But it seems like the trade to Columbus deflated him. Now when I watch him play I just don't see the same
Jeff Carter
that I saw in Philly.
He's not working as hard. He's not playing as aggressively. He just doesn't seem to have the attitude that he had with the Flyers.
You can't change the way you play because of the city that you play in. Granted, Columbus doesn't have the best team, but you have to do your best to try to make that team better.
With the trade deadline coming, if Carter wants to make a splash, make people aware again of what he can do, he only has a short time to pick his game up and show why he would be a very important piece to a team that has a chance to win the Stanley Cup. He makes a lot of money, he has a big contract, and that's only more of a reason he should be putting out more of an effort.
Jeff Carter
can be that guy to show everybody the type of player he is. He's a good player caught in a tough situation in Columbus, but with a hefty contract like he has you have to be way more interested in the game and give way more of an effort.
Make an effort to make a difference. Don't just wallow in everybody else's mediocrity.

text: Underground river discovered below Amazon Science 26 August 11 by Duncan Geere Flickr.com / CIFOR Brazil's National Observatory believes that it's found an enormous underground river flowing 4km below the Amazon rainforest.By studying temperature variations at inactive oil wells drilled in the 70s and 80s by the state-owned Petrobras oil company, geoscientists obtained data showing the movement of water far below the course of the Amazon river on the surface. It's thought to be about 6,000km long, which would make it about the same length as the Amazon.It's been named after Valiya Mannathal Hamza, who led the research team that made the discovery, and has been studying the region for more than four decades. The Hamza river flows west to east, like its surface counterpart, but it has a flow rate calculated to be around 3,000 cubic metres per second -- which is a mere three percent of the Amazon river itself.That's still plenty, though -- more than 46 times the flow of the Thames in London -- and it represents a secondary drainage system for the Amazon basin. It's thought to empty into the Atlantic Ocean deep below the surface, and a statement released by the research team claimed it could be responsible for the low levels of salinity found in the waters around the mouth of the Amazon.

Iman has proven beauty retailers wrong with her successful make-up line, after they told her that 'black women don't buy liquid foundation'.
Focusing on difficult-to-find shades for ethnic women, the supermodel's namesake cosmetic company has become a $25million business.
After nearly two-decades modelling, and mixing foundation formulations for make-up artists to use on her, Iman launched her line at JCPenney in 1994.
To take Iman Cosmetics to the mass market, she signed a deal with Procter & Gamble in 2004, but distributors like Walgreens and Target responded to it with caution.
'I didn't understand that it was if they have 1,000 doors, only 200 are for women of color,' she said.
Retailers then tried to place her products at the back of their stores, which they see as the 'ethnic section'.
'It was a no-go. They wanted me to be placed at the back, which they considered, like it is, for the ethnic section, which I was totally against.'
And despite her soaring sales, she admitted that trying to secure distribution has been a challenge for both brick-and-mortar and online stores.


text: Now that I took the while to look into macros, I wondered what is the rationale for using the python slice notation (i.e. 5:7 takes lines 5,6 and not including 7). It seems a bit counter-intuitive considering that it always deals with line numbers, and once you do "hist" and see the line numbers, you *are* going to think 5:7 means "take lines 5,6,7". I understand that the python slice notation has its advantages (esp. when the step != 1) but for line numbers it seems a bit unpractical. With line numbers the users won't be thinking of intervals between lines. It's not a major issue, really, but I'd expect it to be a minor gotcha for many users. I understand the argument of consistency with the rest of Python, of course. -- Ville Vainio http://tinyurl.com/2prnb Can't you see the world is burning Can't you feel its Fire burning Don't you know we all are burning The Fire of Life -- R.N.Taylor / Changes

You raise a really good point. The Twins did not get the ML ready CFer to replace Hunter that they would have gotten in the other two deals. And a few of those pitchers are not ML ready. So, if the Sox offered a ML ready reliever (MDC?) and Crisp, they might land Nathan or Neshek.
But, what would we do with Nathan? He is a closer. The last time we traded for a closer and used him as an 8th inning set-up guy, it didn't work out too well (no names mentioned to avoid giving anyone nightmares tonight).

Okay, I've been looking around the 'net to find that cutter for putting the seatpost slot at the top of the seat tube. Only thing I've come up with is a "keyseat cutter", which isn't exactly right.

Dumb & Dumber t-shirts!
Dumb & Dumber is one of the most idiotic, hilarious, and quotable movies in the history of cinema. Hence, we've been able to round up plenty of shirts commemorating classic moments and funny quotes from the film. Looking for a t-shirt version of Harry's powder blue tuxedo or Lloyd's orange tuxedo? How about a shirt featuring both of them engaged in their cane fight? We've got a pair of tees referencing Harry Dunne's pet grooming company, one showing the Mutt Cutts company logo and the other showing the Shaggin' Wagon. Can't forget that Lloyd Christmas was employed at one point ("It's OK, I'm a limo driver!"), but their ultimate goal was to start a pet store. Depending on who you talk to, the shop was to be called either I've Got Worms or I Got Worms, so we tracked down shirts for both. There are also plenty of shirts making fun of Lloyd's terrible knowledge of geography (Austria, Aspen, Aspen, Aspen, Aspen) and the moped portion of their cross-country trip (I Get 70 Miles to the Gallon on This Hog and Totally Redeem Yourself). We've also wrangled some t-shirts for the hilarious Sea Bass trucker character: One referencing his raunchy Wine 'Em Dine 'Em Sixty-Nine 'Em hat, and one quoting his order of four boilermakers. We're adding more shirts all the time, so check our collection below for updates!

Sorry, I know this is a rather lazy question, my server experience is limited to OS X, I'm hoping a Windows guy can "explain it to me like I'm five"
I'll need to help configure a bunch of iPads/iPhones to use Exchange shortly, and I'm sure some of the users will give me inaccurate authentication details. Rather than send them packing, I'd like to be able to make an educated guess at what it might be based on the info they do know, but I'm still a bit fuzzy on the following:
• do all versions of Windows Server follow the same rules for the AD Domain (eg: is it based on FQDN? NetBIOS name? totally arbitrary?)?
• is an AD Domain case-sensitive?
Edit: I'm not asking what is the difference between the two (yes, we use DNS on the Mac too). The question is rather what is the relationship between the two. Do they need to match, basically.

text: After thorough examination, archeologists have concluded that two tortoise shell segments excavated recently in Shannxi Province date back to the Zhou Dynasty (11 century - 221 BC). One of the pieces has 38 characters inscribed on it, more than on any other such shell from this period excavated to date. What makes this find so important, however, is the fact that the fragments are from the back shell of a tortoise. All the other Zhou Dynasty inscriptions discovered previously have been made on tortoises under-shells. According to a report in Shannxis Huashang Daily, the two tortoise shell frgments are yellowish-brown in color, with tiny characters inscribed on them. On both pieces, the surface has obviously been sawn, which is also unusual. Unexpected Discovery The two pieces of shells were discovered by a joint archeological team from Peking Universitys archeology department, the Institute of Archaeology of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Shannxi Provincial Archeology Institute during an inspection tour o the Zhouyuan Archeological Site in Qishan County. On December 14, Xu Tianjin, an associate professor at Peking University, together with a team of archeology students, found a small piece of tortoise shell in the ditch around Zhougong Temple. The unexpected discovery aroused great interest from the team, and they immediately organized a comprehensive excavation. At two in the afternoon the two broken tortoise shells were found. Both of the two tortoise shell sections are over 10 centimeters long. Large scale excavation called for Tortoise shells with inscribed characters were used by the royal family during the Zhou Dynasty. The discovery therefore suggests that an important new Zhou Dynasty archeological site will emerge. It has long been assumed that Zhouyuan Archeological Site in Qishan County is the original site of the Zhou capital. Some experts say that the new discovery will challenge this proposition. Archeologists and experts on ancient Chinese characters have begun to decipher the two pieces of tortoise shells, but so far they have only been able to recognize some 10 characters. Xu Tianjin, who found the shells, is a member of an expert panel on the history of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. He believes that the two shell fragments were used by fortune-tellers in the Zhou Dynasty. The discovery of the two tortoise shells suggests that the area around Zhougong Temple might have been a prosperous urban area during the Zhou Dynasty. According to the archeological bureau, a large-scale investigation on the area will be launched in the near future. 01/04/2004 http://bjtoday.ynet.com/article.jsp?oid=2903094

At the end of April, I had the honor of serving as a California delegate to the Presidents' Summit for America's Future. As reported in the media, the two-day Philadelphia summit -- hosted by Gen. Colin Powell -- was attended by Presidents Ford, Carter, Bush and Clinton. Also in attendance were most of the nation's governors, delegates from states and communities around the United States and scores of corporate CEOs, Hollywood celebrities, and religious and community leaders. The purpose of the summit was to draw attention to -- and mobilize volunteer resources for -- the fight to improve the plight of many of America's youth.
Politics and cynicism aside, this high-profile event says a great deal about the changing nature of governance and citizenship as we close out the 20th century.
At a time when the United States is rich in information, material goods and opportunities to learn and earn, some 15 million youths face a crisis of unprecedented proportion in illiteracy, drug abuse, gang violence and teen pregnancy. Clearly, centralized, "one-size-fits-all" public-sector programs -- built over the last century in education, housing, welfare and public safety -- are failing us as we enter a new century.
The summit drew hundreds of unrecognized heroes -- men and women of all ages who are already engaged in giving their time and energy as mentors, tutors and volunteers in communities around the country.
Dr. Andy Mecca -- director of the California Department of Alcohol and Drug Programs and lead for Governor Wilson's California Mentor Initiative -- said that nothing has been as effective in stemming the tide of illiteracy, teen pregnancy, substance abuse and youth violence as the committed involvement of individual mentors and local leaders in the lives of young people in crisis. Thus the Mentor Initiative's goal to recruit 250,000 volunteer mentors in the state by the year 2000.
The summit's message was clear: Future success in solving these domestic crises will come from communities taking more responsibility for themselves. And, even more fundamental, success will come from individual citizens taking greater responsibility for one another.
President Clinton put the matter succinctly in his opening remarks when he noted that "the era of big government may be over, but the era of big challenges for our country is not ... we need an era of big citizenship. That is why we are here." Those words -- echoed by governors and other delegates -- were at the heart of the summit.
As we enter the 21st century, the art and practice of governance -- driven in no small measure by the revolution in computing and telecommunications technologies -- is becoming much more local. We are beginning to recognize something Alexis de Tocqueville said in Democracy in America 150 years ago. Our nation's greatest strength lies in our communities and in the active engagement by individual citizens in the health and outcome of their families, neighborhoods, towns and cities.
The Presidents' Summit for America's Future recognized that citizens are not and should not become passive recipients of government services. If we wish healthy, safe communities and a promising future for our youth, individual Americans -- together with public, private and not-for-profit groups -- must be active participants at the community level to create a new era and a Renaissance of big citizenship.

GTA 5 PC Version: More Evidence Surfaces
Could Rockstar really be working on PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5?
Just a few days ago, we spotted an Amazon listing for a PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5, which allowed people to pre-order it. This, of course, is odd since Rockstar has not confirmed a PC version of the game yet.
But could a PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5 be in the works as we speak? If Rockstar Senior Animator Ryan Schacter's LinkedIn is anything to go by, that might be an emphatic "yes."
In his LinkedIn profile, Schacter's work experience states that he's working on cutscene animation" for GTA V on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. Don't believe me? Here's a screenshot of it (the PC listing has since been taken out as of press time).
While this could very well be a typo and nothing more, the fact that Amazon is accepting pre-orders coupled with Rockstar's non-committal answer of whether there is a PC version of GTA 5 makes me think there's more to this than what they've revealed. In short: I expect a Grand Theft Auto 5 PC version to make its way onto store shelves…the only question is when?
Who knows, though? Maybe Rockstar really wasn't planning a PC version of the game but the backing the petition got made them stand up and take notice? This is just conjecture on my part and nothing more.
For more GTA 5 reading, take a look at our article yesterday where we unearth character switching, open-world heists and even mission details, too.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is scheduled to hit the Xbox 360 and PS3 in Spring later this year.

By NONOY LACSON
ZAMBOANGA CITY – Sometime in June, Jarmaida A. Wahid was approached by a man who claims to be working for Sultan Jamalul Kiram III and offered her a job to a soon-to-be-built shopping mall.
Wahid, 27, was invited to be a member of the MNLF Royal Special Forces.
"Benjie visited our store one day and he convince me to have the ID so I can work as saleslady when Sultan Kiram will open a mall in this city, to which I agree," claimed Wahid, referring to Kiram's alleged trusted man.
Little did she know that this would land her behind bar.
Wahid was among 15 MNLF members arrested yesterday during the government's clearing operations.
Notwithstanding the charges that she will face, the pretty Zamboangueña remained calm and seemed not bothered, maintaining that she's a simple saleslady working in a small store.
Wahid said Benjie led her to believe that owning an MNLF ID would assure her of a high salary when the big mall starts to operate.
The alleged MNLF member wore a white shirt and maong pants with no signs that she had been in the fighting.
Wahid said that if she indeed is a rebel, she should have been carrying a firearm.
Her aunt, who declined to give her name, said Wahid was temporarily staying at their home at Barangay San Roque after fleeing her boarding house in Sta. Catalina when the shooting began.
"She is not an MNLF. She is a sales lady and a good daughter helping her parents in Jolo," said the aunt in between sobs.
Wahid caught the attention of media because of her good looks when she was brought to Zamboanga City Police Office at 1 p.m. for interrogation.
Meanwhile, authorities prevented commercial establishments from opening yesterday due to security reasons.
The Zamboanga City Chamber of Commercie and Industry President Pocholog Soliven said the police and military authorities here advised them to remain close.

Gay Bars and Clubs in Fethiye:
Fethiye has a liberal life
as a major tourist destination and it is also visited by a
considerable number of local and foreign gay tourists in Summer season.
There are no gay-exclusive or explicitly gay-friendly
bars or clubs in Fethiye, despite several places have been
mentioned as gay bars on some internet forums. Nevertheless, the
nightlife in Fethiye is fairly liberal and most bars and clubs
would be very welcoming and friendly to gay and lesbian clients.
It is very likely to come across with several gays and lesbians
when you go out to discover the night life casually.
Gay Friendly Bars and Clubs in Fethiye:
The Boyz - Kısmet Bar
Adres: Across
Fethiye Belediyesi Kultur Merkezi (municipality culture
center), Fethiye, Turkey
Kismet Bar, Fethiye is situated in the heart of Fethiye, across from Fethiye Belediyesi Kultur Merkezi (municipality culture center) alongside the harbour. Kismet opened its doors in November 2006 and has proved itself to be a popular drinking place for both tourists and locals alike. Do not expect a visible gay-scene but you can feel very comfortable here.
This venue was first recommended by a website visitor:
"Kismeth bar is a gay friendly bar owned by two Englishmen. The bar is located near the promenade close to the blue building" (Posted by Ruud from Netherlands on 18-08-2012)
Ladies Beach Bar

This place has been reported by one of our website visitor as below:
"We were in Kusadasi two weeks ago and we were in Ladies
Beach Club almost every day during our holiday. This place is
located just at The beginning of Ladies Beach. We had to pay 20
lira which included umbrella also. They serves some nice
cocktails and other kind of drinks. The stuff are very kind and
gay people are very welcomed there. We met many guys there. We
even danced a Lot :) Place has good laud music. Danke!" Posted

A small indoor dance club, sometimes featuring live Turkish music, is Mango Bar. Especially recommended for those who likes younger crowd.
"I may have had 2.. TWO bad situations at MANGO in Fethiye... but the first time I attempted to get into the venue, the "bouncer/security/thug" looked at my footwear.... Vuitton shoe/trainers.... and told me that the club was full... the door opened and it evidently was NOT. The second time... again, my footwear was closely scrutinized .. and presumably passed some sort of "test" .... and as a group of arriving people were let in in front of me WITHOUT paying..... I was asked if I was alone. When I said Yes.... I was told that I had to have a ticket, which I would have to pay for. I don't think I've witnessed such appalling manners and attitude since the awful days of "door whores" in London. Maybe I was deemed to be TOO OLD (at 36) to be allowed access to this hallowed sanctuary? A real shame, as I was searching for a great venue to bring a group of very wealthy friends who wanted something a little more "upmarket" than some of the other... MUCH more welcoming bars in the Paspatur area. IF Mango has some strange sort of door policy... it certainly should be explained. Hence.... I CANNOT recommend this bar.... CAR CEMETARY, on the other hand... was welcoming, fun, great attitude and a fantastic live band."(Posted by Alan M from U.K on August 21st 2013)
"I haven't heard of gay bars as such but I have met gay people in and around Fethiye and they are very much accepted they don't have any problems. Mango in Fethiye has a resident drag artist called Pasha so i suppose that place must attract some gay people as well as the straight people who enjoy the entertainment." (10-06-2006)

valuable things and a lot of money on you, just in case.
Likewise, there is not any distinctively gay-friendly beach in and around Fethiye town. In fact there are no beaches suitable for swimming at the very centre of Fethiye. The nearest beach of Fethiye is Calis Beach (Calis Plaji), which stretches west for over 4km (2.5 miles), lined by hotels, restaurants, cafés and bars the whole way. Coarse sand at the end nearest the town, it is shingle at the far end. This would be where you can occasionally see gay men bathing in the sun or swimming. The best beach in the area is 15km (10 miles) away at the beautiful lagoon of Oludeniz. The Oludeniz or Blue Lagoon is a stunning expanse of shimmering blue water.
The many beaches and bays of Fethiye are ideal for
picnicking and camping as well.
Other popular neighborhood beach/swimming regions include Belcegiz, Gemiler Islands, Koturumsu,
Katranci Bay, Gunluk and Gocek.

General Information About Fethiye
Fethiye is a town of Mugla Province of Turkey, located at the junction of Aegean & Mediterranean seas. Modern day Fethiye is built on the ancient city of Telmessos, ruins of which can be seen in the city. It is one of Turkey's well-known tourist centers and is especially prized during the summer. There are no gay-exclusive venues in Fethiye, but just like similar tourism towns and cities of Turkey, Fethiye also has a very liberal life and consequently visited by a considerable number of local and foreign gay tourists in Summer season.:
It is 135 kms southwest of Marmaris and has an outstanding and busy marina. The ancient name of the city is Telmessos and you will see a fortress on the hill overlooking the city which was built by Knights of Rhodes Island. Fethiye is also known for its rock tombs carved into the faces of the high cliffs by the Lycians. Among these tombs especially remarkable one is the tomb of Amnytas dating from the 4th century BC, elaborately carved in Doric architectural style. It is worth well visiting. Other historical places around the town are the Sarcopaghi and the Fethiye Tower.

Vanderpump Rules
Vanderpump Rules Season 2, Episode 2 Recap — Top 5 Craziest Moments!
In tonight's Vanderpump Rules Season 2, Episode 2 recap, Jax Taylor and Stassi Schroeder's dinner date doesn't go so well, which makes this an unfortunate time for him to have gotten his shocking new body art. Let's take a look at tonight's top 5 craziest moments.
5. Lisa flirts with Schwartz — but won't hire him
Lisa Vanderpump is adding a garden bar to SUR, so she needs a bartender for it. Katie convinces Lisa to give her boyfriend Schwartz an interview, and Lisa is charmed by him, while Schwartz is clearly smitten with her. But after Scheana talks to Lisa about Schwartz's involvement in last week's fight with Shay, Lisa doesn't give Schwartz the job.
4. Scheana hurt her foot — we think?
Scheana tells Lisa that she needs to take a week off from serving tables because she is on crutches after injuring her foot. And she makes it sound like there is a huge wound on her leg, but as Lisa points out, it's just a bruise. Scheana then is in charge of assigning customers to their tables, and she and Stassi bicker when Stassi wants to leave early.
3. Jax tattoos Stassi's name on his arm. Terrible idea, right?
Stassi has always wanted Jax to get rid of his tribal tattoo, so he's replacing it with a koi fish... for some reason. Almost as inexplicably, he's getting Stassi name tattooed on his arm, even though they aren't currently on good terms. Jax's friends are shocked by this, and honesty, we are, too. What are you thinking, dude?!
2. Stassi and Scheana go at it
Stassi confronts a hobbled Scheana — whom she referred to as an "ass sucker" to Pandora — about the fact that Scheana is now writing for Pandora's magazine, where Stassi writes. Stassi clearly doesn't appreciate being coworkers in multiple businesses with Scheana and makes cracks about Scheana's vocal abilities. Needless to say, the word "bitch" gets thrown around a lot during their convo.
1. Stassi bails from her dinner with Jax
Jax finally gets Stassi to take on a dinner date, but this couldn't have been how he wanted it to play out. During dinner, Stassi says she still can't trust Jax, and she leaves the restaurant early. Then, she says she still thinks about Frank, and Jax ends up in tears. Stassi hops out of the car while Jax still wants to talk, meaning he never tells her about the tat. We can't wait till she finds out about that!

The Prayer Of Jephthah
The prayer of Jephthah, found in Judges 11:30 & 31, is a tremendous devotional for today's busy minister who happens to have a family. It concerns a warrior named Jephthah, who prayed a vow to God in order to secure his victory over the Ammonites. The prayer is recorded as follows:
"If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into my hands, then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the Lord's, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering." (KJV)
In other words, for those who struggle with King James English, Jephthah asked God for victory in battle, promising to sacrifice the first thing that came out of his house to greet him, if that victory was granted. What happened after the prayer was prayed may be unsettling to many. Although Jephthah won the battle, the first person to come out of his house to greet him when he returned was his daughter. Terribly grieved, Jephthah nonetheless fulfilled his vow by sacrificing his daughter to the Lord.
While Jephthah's petition was made for a specific situation in another time and place, I believe it can be used as a sample prayer for those engaged in modern Christian ministry. You see, many who are "called" to "The Ministry" often sacrifice their children through neglect, for the sake of success. This prayer could greatly reduce feelings of guilt, and criticisms of others, by purposefully offering up one's children. The prayer could be modernized as follows:
"Dear God. If you grant me success in my church (or ministry, or Sunday school, etc.) and increase the numbers of those who attend and/or support it, I will sacrifice to you whatever gets in the way, including members of my own family. Amen."

Obviously the B's will win tomorrow night, and I figure Callahan will lead the Rangers to victory as well. It'll be a tough series for Boston. As someone pointed out, they've had a really hard time with the Rangers over the past few years.
I hope it's the Caps instead. Chara and Seidenberg can shut down Ovechkin and Co, and the B's new found strength of the first line will torch Holtby.
So there you have it.
B's to the ECF, 4-2 series win.

Artisan Hand Vacuum… Product of the Week
Posted in: Product of the week
That, ladies and gentlemen, is a vacuum. Quite possibly the most chic, elegant vacuum I have ever seen. When I saw it I had to feature it today. I just love how everything for the home, even cleaning products, is being made nowadays with serious regard to aesthetics. The Artisan Hand Vacuum by Kalorik takes an otherwise unattractive household appliance and brings it into the modern age with an updated, fresh look that is fit to be seen by guests and anyone who enters the home. No need to hide this "dust-buster" in the closet. Instead, keep it in the corner of the room, on the bottom shelf of an end table or even on the desktop for quick and easy small clean-up jobs. The charging base itself is a work of art, and available in three colors to match any decor.
This handheld vacuum proves that household cleaning items and appliances don't have to be an eye sore anymore. Enhance every room in the home with similar finds including fancy toilet brushes and more!

What Is A "Yellow Card" and what does it mean to me?
What Is A "Yellow Card" and what does it mean to me?
Posted 10/11/2011 Updated 10/12/2011
Email story
Print story
by Bill Stoops
628th Medical Group
10/11/2011 -
-- So, you have come to the 628th Medical Group to see a provider or to drop off and pick up a prescription. When you check in, you are asked to present your "yellow card". What makes this little piece of brightly colored cardstock so important that everyone wants to see it?
Commonly mistaken as the "authorization to pick up medications" card, the yellow card is used to show that non-active duty patients have completed the annual requirement of filling out the Department of Defense Form 2569, Third Party Collection Program form.
The Third Party Collection Program was legislated by Congress in 1986. It obligates DoD Military Treatment Facilities to bill private health insurance carriers such as Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Mail Handlers, Aetna, etc., for the cost of medical care furnished to retirees and family members covered by their own health insurance policies. This includes all medical benefits such as inpatient care, outpatient care and ancillary services such as pharmacy items.
Private health insurance policies are billed, that is why we use the term third party. MTFs can only collect for services covered by your third party health insurance plan according to your benefits with the plan. By law, your insurance policy rates cannot go up or be cancelled just because a claim is filed. Health insurance is not like automobile insurance; your rates will not go up when you file a claim.
The yellow Other Health Insurance card has been our way of easily ensuring that the DD Form 2569 has been completed without the inconvenience of having you, our patients, fill out a new form each time a visit is made within the facility. The form is filled out once a year or more often if you have an inpatient stay, any ambulatory procedure visit (outpatient surgery) or a change in insurance status. Per DoD Instruction 6010.15m, Chapter 4, all non-active duty beneficiaries are required to fill out a DD Form 2569, whether or not they have other health insurance.
Healthcare is expensive and costs are continuously rising. The law requires all MTFs to recover some of these costs if you are covered by a civilian insurance company. We understand that healthcare is an earned service benefit. Billing your private insurance carrier will help us offset the cost of care and allow for improvements to the quality of care you receive at the MTF. The money collected will go towards medical equipment, supplies and facility upgrades. Since 2009, we have collected more than $2.1M to help with these costs for our medical facility.
The TPC program only works if we have current and accurate information for other health insurance policies you carry. When you visit your military treatment facility, you will be asked to provide other health insurance information. Please help us help you by filling in the requested information. Our aim is to provide you and your family with quality healthcare service. Your active role in assisting us by identifying your other health insurance policies directly contributes to us providing you with quality healthcare.
If you would like more information regarding the TPC program, see your MTF TPC representative or call our toll-free OHI hotline at 1-800-355-3785, Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. (CST).

Ukraine Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2005
Monitoring the Situation of Children and Women
Translated Title
Ukraine Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2005
Survey Type
Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey - Round 3 [hh/mics-3]
Series Information
The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, Round 3 (MICS3) is the third round of MICS surveys, previously conducted around 1995 (MICS1) and 2000 (MICS2). Many questions and indicators are consistent and compatible with the prior round of MICS (MICS2) but less so with MICS1, although there have been a number of changes in definition of indicators between rounds. Details can be found by reviewing the indicator definitions.
Version Description
Version 1.0: edited data used for drafting the final report
Production Date
The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) is a household survey programme developed by UNICEF to assist countries in filling data gaps for monitoring human development in general and the situation of children and women in particular. MICS is capable of producing statistically sound, internationally comparable estimates of social indicators. The current round of MICS is focused on providing a monitoring tool for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the World Fit for Children (WFFC), as well as for other major international commitments, such as the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on HIV/AIDS and the Abuja targets for malaria. Survey Objectives The 2005 Ukraine Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey has as its primary objectives: To provide up-to-date information for assessing the situation of children and women in Ukraine To furnish data needed for monitoring progress toward goals established in the Millennium Declaration, the goals of A World Fit For Children (WFFC), and other internationally agreed upon goals, as a basis for future action; To contribute to the improvement of data and monitoring systems in Ukraine and to strengthen technical expertise in the design, implementation, and analysis of such systems. Survey Content MICS questionnaires are designed in a modular fashion that can be easily customized to the needs of a country. They consist of a household questionnaire, a questionnaire for women aged 15-49 and a questionnaire for children under the age of five (to be administered to the mother or caretaker). Other than a set of core modules, countries can select which modules they want to include in each questionnaire. Survey Implementation The surveys is carried out by the State Statistics Committee of Ukraine, with the support and assistance of UNICEF and other partners. Technical assistance and training for the surveys is provided through a series of regional workshops, covering questionnaire content, sampling and survey implementation; data processing; data quality and data analysis; report writing and dissemination.

Four Pennsylvania Residents Charged in Cocaine Trafficking Conspiracy
|U.S. Attorney's Office December 10, 2013
JOHNSTOWN, PA—Three residents of Johnstown, Pennsylvania and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Johnstown on charges of violating federal narcotics laws, United States Attorney David J. Hickton announced today.
The six-count indictment named as defendants the following individuals:
- George J. Lawrence, IV, 28, of Johnstown, Pennsylvania
- Paulette M. Alt, 52, of Johnstown, Pennsylvania
- Donna M. Hawk, 48, of Johnstown, Pennsylvania
- Paul A. Robinson, Jr., 31, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
According to the indictment presented to the court, from January 31 to April 23, 2013, the defendants conspired to distribute more than 28 grams of cocaine base, in the form commonly known as "crack," and on separate occasions during that time period the defendants distributed less than 500 grams of cocaine and less than 28 grams of cocaine base. In addition, on April 23, 2013, Lawrence possessed more than 28 grams of cocaine base with the intent to distribute it.
The law provides for a maximum total sentence for Lawrence of 140 years in prison, a fine of $13,000,000, or both; for Alt & Robinson, 80 years in prison, a fine of $7,000,000, or both; and for Hawk, 60 years in prison, a fine of $6,000,000, or both. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed would be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.
Assistant United States Attorney John J. Valkovci, Jr. is prosecuting this case on behalf of the government.
The Laurel Highlands Resident Agency of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Cambria County Drug Task Force conducted the investigation that led to the prosecution of Lawrence, Alt, Hawk, and Robinson.
An indictment is an accusation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

Summary: Use the LaTeX soul package to highlight text in a LaTeX document.
Suppose you want to provide a highlight color or background color for text in a LaTeX document. A good example is when you want to highlight the background yellow, so it looks like it was highlighted with a marker, to catch a reader's attention. "How do you do this in LaTeX?" you ask.
Normally I like to answer "simple", but in this case there is a multi-step answer. It's still pretty easy, but you'll need to download a package named "soul".
Here are the basic steps to follow to enable text highlighting:
\hl command wherever you want it highlighted, like this:
this is some \hl{highlighted text} blah blah
That's it. Use the
soul package, and mark your text with the
\hl command. (Note that the letters in this command are the lowercase versions of the letters 'H' and 'L', respectively.)
I've read where this command has problems occassionally, but I have not experienced those. Read the PDF that comes with the soul package for more information and other uses.
soul came with my TeXShop distribution but it makes the highlighted words underlined instead. \usepackage{color,soul} fixed the problem.
Good to know -- thanks!
thanks anonymous
\usepackage{color, soul} worked perfectly
