38 U.S. Code § 1924 - In-service waiver of premiums
(a) Waiver of all premiums on five-year level premium term insurance and that portion of any permanent insurance premiums representing the cost of the pure insurance risk, as determined by the Secretary, granted on National Service Life Insurance or United States Government life insurance under section 622 of the National Service Life Insurance Act of 1940 and in effect on January 1, 1959, shall, unless canceled, continue in effect according to the provisions of such section for the remainder of the insured's continuous active service and for one hundred and twenty days thereafter. Such premium waiver renders the contract of insurance nonparticipating during the period the waiver is in effect.
(b) Whenever benefits become payable because of the maturity of such insurance while under the premium waiver continued by this section, liability for payment of such benefits shall be borne by the United States in an amount which, when added to any reserve of the policy at the time of maturity, will equal the then value of such benefits under such policy. Where life contingencies are involved in the calculation of the value of such benefits, the calculation of such liability or liabilities shall be based upon such mortality table or tables as the Secretary may prescribe with interest at the rate of 21/4 per centum per annum as to insurance issued under sections 620 and 621 of the National Service Life Insurance Act of 1940, at the rate of 3 per centum per annum as to other National Service Life Insurance, and 31/2 per centum per annum as to United States Government life insurance. The Secretary shall transfer from time to time from the National Service Life Insurance appropriation to the National Service Life Insurance Fund and from the military and naval insurance appropriation to the United States Government Life Insurance Fund such sums as may be necessary to carry out the provisions of this section.
(c) In any case in which insurance continued in force under this section matures on or after January 1, 1972, an amount equal to the amount of premiums, less dividends, waived on and after that date shall be placed as an indebtedness against the insurance and, unless otherwise paid, shall be deducted from the proceeds. In such case, the liability of the Government under subsection (b) of this section shall be reduced by the amount so deducted from the proceeds.

Bananas Modern American Diner reviews from OpenTable diners
- BohemeUnluckydinnerDined on 9/8/2013Escargot is superb, would go back just to order it again, Enjoyed the ambience, great art work all around the venue and a wonderful gift shop. Service was excellentSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mixed up morningBonappetit2Dined on 8/25/2013Been here before, just wanted to experience Gospel Brunch. Made reservation online morning od. Upon arrival he couldn't find reservation and we were treated as though we really didn't have one. We got on line and found Hamburger Mary's and had a great morning, great. show and food at half the price of Banana's .Service was excellent and from now on for a good time we will go to Hamburger Marys!
- chicken and walffesmargobugDined on 8/25/2013best chicken and waffle's the gravy is awesome. daughter got biscuits and gravy thought they where very good. always great food and staff gotta love them husband go eggs benedict crab thought very tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service with a Smile...and a SashayWrailynDined on 8/23/2013The food was delicious, and the service was amazing. Our lovely server, Genesis, was a refill ninja. Our drinks were never low, and everything was ordered and delivered in a timely manner. Only very small issue was with the chicken and waffles: there was very little chicken. Other than that, it was perfect!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- I have been there many timesOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/20/2013I have been there many times before and always had a great time... This time forever, there were only three people doing everything and the show (which is why I went and took ten of my out of town friends) was not good at all... Each of the three sang one song each and did very little to enhance the performance... I was very disappointed. Did the management change? Wish it would go back to how it was 6 months ago when I was last there
- OverwhelmedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/17/2013The staff was clearly overwhelmed by our large party (13). We had been there before and things seem to have gone off the rails in the past year. No silverware on the table until after the food was delivered was just the start of the problems. We were the only patrons early on a Saturday morning. It took over an hour after we ordered for any food to make it's way to our table. To add insult to injury anyone who ordered sausage with their eggs got bacon. Three of our party did not even get their plates until 30 minutes after the others and at least two of those were not as ordered. All in all a pretty disastrous trip.
- Great show, average foodKazperVIPDined on 8/4/2013We went to the Sunday Gospel Drag Brunch - a funny show, great entertainment that makes the mediocre $14.95 brunch well worth a visit. No you do not come here for great food, you will get better at most Waffle Houses - but the show and entertainment is well worth a visit. Definitely recommended for a fun Sunday brunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Truly differentOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/30/2013The drag-queen/waitresses made this a memorable evening. Lots of fun, and they made us feel at home. We definitely knew that we were not in East Texas anymore. We will probably go back sometime for their Gospel brunch.Special Features:
- Drag Your Friends To Gospel BrunchinfraledDined on 7/28/2013We recently attended Banana's Gospel Brunch and it was as good as it's always been. This was my second time and the first time for my girlfriend and we had an amazing time. The food was splendid and rich and was complimented by our measured sips of our mimosas. The eggs in both our dishes were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce on my eggs benedict was truly excellent. The show, especially experiencing it with a first timer was so much fun. You find yourself laughing and clapping through your whole meal. I'm not even a fan of gospel music, but the energy and vigor that the ladies put into performing really makes it come alive. I dare say there was more love and acceptance in that room than anywhere else on Sunday morning.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- fun place to tryOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/28/2013We liked the ambiece of this placed sounded fun people were very nice. It had just opened when we got there for our Sunday lunch/breakfast . I tried one of the featured eggs benedict (very good). My friend had a waffle with blueberries on top she said it was dry and bland. The food took a long time considering it was very slow time in the am. Would try it again for the show in the evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not enough value for the price...OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/21/2013Banana's Diner has a great concept going, but the execution could use some work. Although the diner is electric with entertainment (especially for Gospel Brunch), the quality of the food doesn't seem to meet the pricing standards. If you're going to charge someone over 15 dollars for a breakfast plate, it better be outstanding. The food was okay at best. It seems a lot more effort goes into the performances and the atmosphere than on the food, which should always be the cornerstone of any good diner. It would also be a good idea to change the menu from something that looks like it was typed up/printed on someone's home computer to something a little more chic and expensive looking. After all, the food is a little on the expensive side.Special Features:
- Meh....ClovermegDined on 7/20/2013I wouldn't go out of my way to go back. There were only a few tables with diners, yet service was incredibly slow. The food was okay to below average, the bacon was really good, though! But everything else...pancakes, eggs benedict, toast, hashbrowns --- all lacking! I was really disappointed by the fact that the Hollandaise was from a powdered mix, its SUPER easy to make homemade...if I can make it, why can't they?Special Features:
- Family DinerCuriousDined on 7/12/2013Entertaining, since our servers were dressed in drag. Quality of food left much to be desired, but the service was friendly, attentive, and prompt. I also enjoyed the free valet parking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great burger. Great server. Fun.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/9/2013This was a burger night out, and it turned into pure fun. Prompt and attentive service, a really good burger and side salad, both with lots of blue cheese, and drinks that were refreshed again and again. The prices were reasonable and what you would expect in a diner.bThere was even a 20-25 minute Tuesday night "floor show" with the servers singing. If you have trouble with the wonderful diversity of humanity and the rainbow of human expression, go to the Golden Arches, or places that serve chicken nuggets on a bun. There are plenty of places around town for that. But, you want your food with a song and a smile, this is the place. We will be back for the Gospel brunch!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful time.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/7/2013The whole gospel brunch was a great time. Highly recommend. The food was yummy.Special Features:
- Different Spin on BenedictJeanneorlDined on 7/6/2013Loved the eggs benedict with the fried goat cheese. Yum!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SO BAD IT WAS HILARIOUSQueenbeeDined on 6/27/2013.. I ordered sweet tea and was told they were out of sugar so today there was none. congealed hollandaise sauces that chunked up, cold gravy , white hash browns, a dry burger served with unsolicited chunky hollandaise on it, forgotten items in entrees (sundried tomato jam) and a UCO. (thunbsize unidentified cooked object). What was not to hate? Bad food but entertaining. (hilarious) just like many of the US dining experiences in the 50s Everything was so horrendous that with each new horrible revelation, the experience got funnier and funnier as we all looked on in disbelief. I know for certain that I have rarely been served such an all around inedible, horrid meal. Go to see the divas in drag... And the great decor.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Poor ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/25/2013Staff more interested in putting on their Tuesday at 8pm show then waiting on tables. They took drink order and then proceeded to participate in show, left after waiting 40 minutes with no drinks I hand or food order take.
- Fun place to go overallOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/22/2013Love the milkshakes and funky diner environment! It's a fun place to go late night. The stuffed french toast is amazing!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't miss Gospel BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/16/2013Great drag show with extremely friendly entertainers along with good food. Plan to stay a while but know why you are there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- This is a must go!! This placeMsDay69Dined on 6/9/2013This is a must go!! This place was awesome. All the queens was fabulous. The service and entertainment above average. I surprised a friend and just told her we was going for lunch. Once we got in she was amazed but we all quickly feed off the positive and enery in the diner. FUN, FABULOUS, AND EXOTIC DINER...an experince you will never forget! I loved it! Ready to go back...Special Features:
- Gospel BrunchBuckyDined on 6/9/2013Show was way too short, food was cold and service was poor. It has been over a year since I attended the "Gospel Brunch". I di not like the set menu. Get back to the "old" food and show.
- It wasn't very crowded andrak1Dined on 6/2/2013It wasn't very crowded and we had to ask our server two times to bring silverware. By the time we finally received it, half of our food was cold. She apologized by providing us a round of drinks but some of my guests were first time visitors and we really built up the restaurant. Unfortunately, Bananas did not live up to our expectations.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bananas, a one of a kind experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/2/2013I took my wife and 15yo there for Sunday brunch. Never have gone there before, I was surprised by the interior of the restaurant. It is very different. The staff is very pleasant and accommodating and get along with each other very well and the service is outstanding. We missed the Gospel Brunch, but will be back next Sunday to take in the whole experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food and SO much fun!brfoodandfunDined on 5/26/2013We attended the Gospel Drag Brunch at Bananas when we were in from out of town and not only did we get a wonderful brunch and a great show but unbelievable service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The restaurant and the foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/19/2013The restaurant and the food were very nice. Would have been nice to know that it caters to alternative lifestyles. While I personally didn't mind a bit one of our party was rather uncomfortable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun AtmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/5/2013Took the family to Bananas for the Gospel Brunch show. Fun, energetic atmosphere. The food was good, but they have a limited menu during the Gospel Brunch. My children are 17 and up, but some people may not find it suitable for younger children (under 12). A unique brunch experience which we thoroughly enjoyed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We love the food and the show....AyBurnmegoodDined on 4/21/2013We love the food and the show....Aysia Black is THE bomb!!Special Features:
- Had a great time at BananasOpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 4/14/2013Had a great time at Bananas as always. Sever's and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Fun,Fun,Fun. Best Gospel Brunch in town.Special Features:
- They have unique dishes alongOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 4/7/2013They have unique dishes along with everyday favorites. The service is always great and its a fun place to go to!Special Features:
- Our server Kenya was terrible.OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 3/31/2013Our server Kenya was terrible. This was my first trip back in months. I had boycotted for months because of the last few experiences that I have had with poor service/food. Our service was horrible and soooooooo slow. The checks were wrong, credit card was lost by the server, and mis charged... The show was terrific and honestly the only reason I can ever see going back. I hear the same complaints from my friends... You either get good food, or good service but never both in the same vist.Special Features:
- when we were greeted it wasOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/25/2013when we were greeted it was not friendly at all, and we seemed to be annoying to her. the table next to us she greeted them very friendly, introduced herself, and even gave a list or drinks with recommendations. we ordered an appetizer and she came back about 10 minutes later and said they were out, we then ordered fried pickles and she said they were "about to be out", and we couldn't order them. Food was alright, we weren't given cotton candy at the end of the meal, we had to ask. We expected a fun girls night out, and we felt like we needed to hurry up and get out, we didn't feel welcome.Special Features:
- the gospel brunch was outstandingBillDined on 3/17/2013the gospel brunch was outstanding and loads of funSpecial Features:
- this trip was far better thanOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/17/2013this trip was far better than my last,i will not stop goingSpecial Features:
- Energetic and Funny !!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/17/2013It was my first time at the restaurant celebrating passing a State Board exam by two of us (out of four people in the party). We had a great time during the Sunday brunch! Many thanks to the drag queens!Special Features:
- I booked this reservationBirthdayDined on 3/10/2013I booked this reservation on line through open table prior to us departing Edmonton Alberta for holidays, we were looking for a first Sunday Brunch meal to get us organized for the week we were in Florida. This restaurant turned out to be one of the highlights of our holidays. My only regret is that I cannot post pictures!!!!Special Features:
- La Cage au Diner!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/9/2013We've been to Bananas twice and had a great time on each visit. The first time was on a Tuesday when they had a show - what a blast! The second time was just on a random night and we still enjoyed ourselves. Nice little place, a bit difficult to find parking unless you use their valet parking. The "girls" are charming and funny... full of personality. Don't be shy they're just like you and me, but better dressed. Food is decent, very "diner-like". My partner had fish and chips and I had a turkey burger. Both were good, but then again, you're not going here for the food are you? There's no cover and prices for food are fairly reasonable.Special Features:
- Wasn't what I expected. IOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 3/7/2013Wasn't what I expected. I didn't read the fine print!! The staff was pleasant and our server was above average. However, the atmosphere and the other diners are just not "my cup of tea".
- STAY AWAY-COMP. VALET NOT AVAILABLEJohnDoe12345VIPDined on 2/24/2013Everything started off poorly when we pulled into the small parking lot. It was pouring rain and I gave the valet a $5 tip to park the car. (Please note that Bananas CLAIMS to provide complimentary valet parking) As we were waiting to be seated, the valet guy came in the restuarant and told me that they were out of parking spaces, gave me the $5 back, and told me that I had to move my car immediately and park it myself. As I stated, it was pouring rain. There weren't any close spots (I'm sure I wasn't the only person this happened to) so I had to park across the street on Mills, a street which has 2 lanes in each direction and a center turning lane with no close light to cross at.
- BrunchBridgeVIPDined on 2/24/2013Bananas is always a fun experience. Go for the Gospel brunch and you will undoubtedly have a fantastic time.Special Features:

The Phillies bullpen was outstanding early in the year, but they've been a little less outstanding lately. The numbers for the season overall are still good, the 3.49 ERA the pen has thrown to this year is sixth-best in the NL, but the pen has fallen off overall.
Here's what the relievers for the Phils did in April and May and what they have done since:
|April and May
|June, July & August
Since the end of May, the pen has been throwing fewer innings per game and striking out more batters when they do pitch, but with worse results overall. In their appearances in April and May, Phillie relievers allowed about 0.34 runs per inning pitched. In their appearances since the end of May they have allowed about 0.47 runs per inning pitched.
The bullpen is still throwing a tiny number of innings compared to the rest of the league. No NL team has thrown fewer frames than the 322 2/3 innings the Phils have tossed this year — the Dodgers are 15th in the NL in relief innings pitched and LA relievers have thrown 18 more innings than the relievers for the Phillies have.
In this post from January, I pointed out that in 2010 the Phillies relievers threw not just the fewest number of innings in the NL, but the fewest number of innings that any NL team had thrown for five years. At this point in the 2011 season, the Phillies have played 128 games and thrown 322 2/3 innings, which puts them on a pace to throw about 408 1/3 innings for the year. That would be fewer than the 421 innings they threw during the 2010 season, but still more than the 397 2/3 innings that the St Louis bullpen tossed during the 2005 season.
The strong start to the year makes the numbers for the Phillies pen look pretty good overall compared to the rest of the league. But the relievers have thrown to a 4.09 ERA since the end of May and that's a whole lot less exciting than the 2.80 ERA for the first two months of the year. Only two NL teams, the Mets and the Astros, have seen their relievers throw to an ERA worse than 4.09 for this season overall.
Oswalt (6-7, 3.51) faces righty Clay Hensley (1-5, 5.47) tonight as the Phils start a series with the Marlins. Right-handed hitters have hammered the righty Hensley this year, hitting .337 against him. Hensley was a reliever in the first half of the season and threw to a 3.60 ERA over 15 appearances. Since the All-Star break he has appeared only as a starter, starting seven games and throwing to a 6.29 ERA. His first three starts after the break were good — he threw to a 2.65 ERA and opponents hit .165 against him. Over his last four starts he has allowed 19 runs in 17 1/3 innings. Oswalt was fantastic his last time out, throwing eight shutout innings against the Nats and striking out nine. He has been hit hard by righties this year, they have posted a 305/346/447 line against him, which is way better than their 247/295/384 line against him over his career.
Sunday's game has been moved and will be played as part of a double-header on Saturday.

Recently ranked one of the top 100 fastest-growing communities in the United States, according to the city's website, the city of Independence, KY is one of those special places that offer plenty of big-city amenities, but still holds onto its small-town southern charm. Just 15 minutes south of Cincinnati along the Ohio/Kentucky border, many residents are happy to be making the move into Independence apartments for rent.
Because of everything this city has to offer, the city has seen extensive growth in recent years. According to City-Data, Independence has seen a stunning 65 percent increase from 2000 to 2010, showing that this is a community that many people want to be a part of.
Independence was originally named Crewitts Creek, and it was settled as early as the 1830s. The patriotic name the city has today derived from Campbell County's split from Kenton County, resulting in the name Independence, which has stuck ever since.
The city remained small for many years but saw a large amount of growth from the 1960s to the 1980s because of large tracts of land being bought along the border of Ohio and Kentucky. Today, the city is home to more than 24,700 residents, according to statistics from the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau.
Many residents in the Bluegrass State love living in Independence because of its affordability. Based on information from City-Data, the city's cost of living index is nearly 10 points below the nation's average, meaning you can live in Independence comfortably without breaking the bank.
One of the city's most beloved green spaces is Memorial Park, a 26-acre recreational hub that includes walking trails, a senior citizen center, an amphitheater, and plenty of playground equipment for the kids.

The name of an enchanting British seaside county, Devon is a pretty Jane Austen-esque unisex name that's a fantastic name choice if you're looking for something that will still be relatively unique, but not as second-take-inducing as most celebrity baby name choices. It is used far more often for boys than girl, but that just adds to its appeal.

World Wetlands Day in South Africa
Rietvlei Nature Reserve
Northern Wetland Rehabilitation
Northern Wetland Rehabilitation (NWR) is a South African section 21 company, funded through the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), with a specific two-fold purpose: 1) the restoration of wetlands and 2) poverty relief, through the employment of previously disadvantaged communities (particularly women).
NWR has been operating in and around the Tshwane area for the more than three years, with projects in Soshanguve, Kaalspruit and Rietvlei. The celebration of World Wetlands Day is an important event on the company's calendar, says Implementer, Roger Browne. "Every year we try to make our event educational and informative, as well as fun for our teams, which work in harsh conditions through much of the year."
NWR's Wetlands Day Event 2007
This year, NWR held its event at Rietvlei Nature Reserve, 5km east of Irene, in Gauteng, South Africa. This is a particularly apt choice of location, as the reserve is home to natural wetlands, approximately 8 kilometres long, and in places up to 800m wide. Rietvlei Nature Reserve's wetlands have also been identified as having the potential to sustain peatlands. Peat is a natural organic substance that forms an active part in the filter and storage capabilities of wetlands.
According to Rietvlei Reserve Manager, Riaan Marais, "only one percent of peatlands in the world occur in South America and Africa collectively", and therefore "peatlands such as the one in Rietvlei Nature Reserve are a rare feature on the South African landscape."
Part of NWR's event saw the company hosting two classes (60 children) from nearby Irene Middle School on a visit to the reserve, where they joined with NWR teams and guests for messages on World Wetlands Day, and this year's theme "Fish for Tomorrow?".
We were privileged to get 2 different perspectives on wetland protection this year: our first guest speaker was Sam Chunda, Environmental Education Officer from Tshwane Municipality, who gave an introduction to the importance of wetlands and the history of World Wetlands Day (See photograph). Support Chavalala, Senior Nature Conservation Scientist from GDACE spoke more specifically on this year's theme, "fish for tomorrow?", alerting us to the importance of maintaining a healthy fish population both here, and throughout the world, and offering suggestions to how each and every one of us can play our part in preserving this vital resource.
After the formal part of the event, the scholars were treated to a guided tour of Rietvlei Nature Reserve in a luxury air-conditioned bus (with the tremendous summer heat of the day, those of us who remained for the soccer event were envious of their comfort!). This tour was facilitated by a reserve guide and one of NWR's contractors, Nkeku Kgatuke, who pointed out the diverse fauna and flora, as well as the wetlands and NWR's various wetland rehabilitation sites. This portion of the event is seen as vital in ensuring that the next generation is infused with a mindset of environmental consciousness. The scholars were provided with certificates, confirming their attendance of the event for World Wetlands Day, as well as the Ramsar cardboard fish, which were to be used by their educators to reinforce the wetlands preservation message when back in the classroom. (SEE PHOTOGRAPH)
During this time, NWR's (wetland rehabilitation) teams were given an opportunity to 'let their hair down', participating in an informal six-a-side soccer tournament. One of NWR's main suppliers, and contributor to the event, Maccaferri South Africa, was even persuaded to join in the fun! In keeping with the wetland theme, Maccaferri supplied gabion baskets (wire mesh 'boxes', which when packed with rocks, are an integral part of wetland rehabilitation) which served as goals for the event.(SEE PHOTOGRAPH)
Although the events might be seen as light-hearted and fun, the central message that NWR sought to convey for World Wetlands Day 2007, is an important one:
In the light of our continued development, not forgetting the forecasted changes in our weather patterns, the protection (and if necessary, rehabilitation) of wetlands, is vital to ensuring that man will be able to flourish in a healthy environment in years to come. The bottom line is that the responsibility lies with each and every one of us to help preserve our planet for future generations!

Download E-FAST
To run E-FAST, you will need to download and run the file efast2ins.exe at the link below:E-FAST V2.0 installer (29 MB)
E-FAST V2.0 Documentation Manual (PDF file, 4.7 MB)
Selected references from the E-FAST V2.0 Documentation Manual (PDF files)
Download And Install Instructions For E-FAST
The E-FAST installation program has been compressed into a single
self-extracting executable file (approximately 28.5 MB in size). To
install E-FAST on your system, complete the following instructions:
1. Download the E-FAST self-extracting executable file (efastins.exe) to any directory of your choice.
2. Run efastins.exe and follow the user prompts throughout the setup process.
3. Unlike E-FAST V1.1, Version 2 includes the installer file for the Consumer Exposure Model (CEM) with the E-FAST V2.0 installer; there is no longer a separate installer file for CEM.
Notes for Windows Vista Users Vista has new levels of security which cause programs to require an administrator level to run. Because of this, E-FAST2 will not run if a user simply double-clicks the icon. However, if the user right-clicks on the program icon, and selects "run as administrator," the program runs normally. This is a simple work-around that can be done when using the model on an independent computer. The user also has the option (under properties) of setting up the program to always run as an administrator. This only needs to be set-up once. If the user is working on a PC that is part of a network, the network administrator would need to have the individual PCs set up so that this is possible. Because this is a common issue with Windows Vista, this issue should be anticipated by the administrator, and easily addressed.
Accessing Help Files
Once E-FAST2 is running, the help screens will not work in Windows Vista environment unless the user downloads the help screen patch, located at Microsoft's download center (search for Winhlp32.exe and Vista). The current page is:
A free download of this patch requires the user to have already purchased Windows Vista. Once this patch is installed, the E-FAST2 help screens operate properly.
Notes for Windows 7 Users In the Fall of 2010 it was brought to EPAs attention that SCREEN3 does not work properly in a Windows 7 environment. The temporary fix (based on the Microsoft website) to allow older programs such as SCREEN3, and therefore EFAST2, to run in Windows 7 depends on whether the user has the Windows 7 Professional version or the Windows 7 home edition. For either version, the user needs to use/install XP Mode on their computer.
The following PDF file provides instructions on how to use/install XP Mode on a computer that uses Windows 7. This is a simple procedure for users of Windows 7 Professional (and Enterprise or Ultimate). However, while installing XP mode on a computer with a Windows 7 home edition can be done, the procedure is more complicated. The procedures for both download and installations are described in the following downloadable PDF file:

'Sister Wives' Recap: Parent-Teacher Conferences Have Never Been THIS Humiliating (VIDEO)
Yet again, I feel emotionally manipulated by ... The Sister Wives. That's right, you heard me! Because at the beginning of tonight's episode, "Kody Begs for an Answer," I found myself all emotionally invested in the well-being of The Brown-y Bunch. Hey, I couldn't help it. Something about watching Kody and Meri and Janelle and Christine and Robyn suffering through the stress and humiliation of parent-teacher conferences ... well, ALL parents, polygamist or not, fear being judged by our kids' teachers when we show up for those dang things. Imagine walking into that empty classroom with your husband ... and your three sister wives? Brutal! And when the Brown kids started talking about their everyday lives and hopes and dreams and struggles -- from skipping school to becoming a famous fashion designer to desperately needing more privacy -- well, that's when I really got hooked. These are universal issues, you know? Sister Wives: They're just like us!
Except ...
When they're not. Just like us. Such as, when they're stressing and sobbing about whether or not the blueprints for their soon-to-be-built absolutely enormous adjacent homes include a wet bar and/or a hobby room.
More from The Stir: 'Sister Wives': Parent-Teacher Conferences Have Never Been THIS Humiliating (VIDEO)
Um ... what are y'all complaining about, exactly?!
Then there was the drama over Robyn's late arrival to Logan's high school graduation. (Robyn was supposed to bring the camera, apparently, but by the time she got to the ceremony Logan already had his diploma and everybody was mad at her, as usual, because she's still the shiny new wife.)
Um ... haven't we all forgotten to bring/charge our cameras to some big important milestone event in our child's life at some point or another?! I think the standard/appropriate parental response in these situations is a frustrated forehead smack, not soap opera level theatrics.
Oh, and as for that answer Kody was begging for? He needs to know (like, RIGHT NOW) whether Meri wants to do the in vitro thing or not. Because make no mistake, Kody "is gonna have more kids." One way or another. You got that, Meri?
Um ... who ARE these people?
So emotionally manipulated. Yet again.
Do you have trouble relating to The Sister Wives?

talaricgNovember 25, 2012 at 11:16 PMI don't think that you need to relate in order to care about the show. I can't relate to them AT ALL- yet I love the show because before this show I honestly was fascinated by how a polygamist family worked. All I had to go on was what you read in the media or Big Love- not exactly reliable sources. I like seeing them as a real family, with real struggles, as they help show the world what their lifestyle is all about.

Gages_Mommy32November 26, 2012 at 10:11 AMDo they seriously only have 1 camera among them? Between the 5 adults and however many teenagers they have, does no one else carry a freakin camera in their purse...especially to a graduation. Why on earth would that be assigned to 1 person??

flowerfunleahNovember 26, 2012 at 10:22 PM
I can't relate to them. At all.
However, I'm kind of taken aback by them. There Meri is whining about a wet bar and how she just doesn't need that fifth room but gosh darnit she wants that wet bar! And here I am, mom of ONE, wife to ONE, and we can't even get a home loan.
Pffft. Are you kidding me people? Really??
If had known that marrying a man with three other wives meant that I would get a huge house to live in in a nice little suburb in a culdesac then hell! I would have jumped on that bandwagon years ago. Reality tv is just other people showing off or showing up.
Way to bring it Brown family. Way. To. Bring. It.

Misc AdvertsDecember 1, 2012 at 6:19 AMIf they weren't getting paid for being on this show, they'd be on welfare. Only the legal wife gets social security benefits when the husband dies. The others get welfare. Too bad the kids have parents who are this dysfunctional. There is no beauty or grace or happiness in families where parents are this self absorbed and the women are chasing and begging for attention from an emotionally immature and unavailable man.

EnkiDecember 14, 2012 at 10:26 PMThe guy made his fortune with advertising so I doubt they would be on welfare. Fair play to the polygamists as long as they are consenting where is the problem.?

JuliaJanuary 9, 2013 at 9:22 PMWhen I first watched the show it was out of curiosity, but the more I watched, I couldn't help relate to them. I still think Kody is a little phony the way he acts sometimes, but I like the wives and the kids all seem normal and happy and that's all that matters. There are families with both parents, single parents, gay parents. There's no right or wrong way to have a family as long as the children are well taken care of and the parents have a good relationship, as I think the Browns do. Personally, I don't think I'd want their lifestyle, but I respect their choice.

nikiJanuary 14, 2013 at 2:30 AMthis just gets to me them using a faith of Christian stance 4 their lifestyle choice. It says in the 10 commandments Not 2 lie...They do nothing but lie about all kinds of things concerning their lives. He said God picked Robin 4 them... WoW They never explain why their religion says to do this either. My christian heart just believes its abusive all the waay around except 2 Kody.

A Lauderdale County judge agreed to suppress evidence in a child porn case against a Wisconsin man.
Florence Police arrested Richard Murray last July for failing to register as a sex offender and living too close to a school.
Murray was then charged with 100 counts of child pornography found on his computer.
After hearing testimony from both of Murray's roommates at the time of his arrest and from investigators, the judge determined police did not have the right to take Murray's computer from the home without a search warrant.
On Wednesday, the investigator testified they took two computers from Murray's home. One of the computers was located in the living room, the other in his bedroom.
The judge said those actions violated Murray's right to privacy.
Although investigators say provocative photos were found on the computer located in the living room of the home, they did not find evidence of child pornography on that specific computer.
The judge then granted a motion to suppress the contents of a laptop computer and external hard drive found in the bedroom of the home he was renting on Cleveland Street.
The Lauderdale County DA said they will continue to prosecute Murray on his sex offender charges.

MONDAY, Feb. 7 (HealthDay News) -- Living in a connected
community may protect poor teens from health risks such as smoking
or obesity, researchers have found.
In a study of low-income and middle-income families, Cornell
University researchers asked 17-year-olds and their mothers to
provide information about social capital, which is a measure of how
connected their community is and the degree of social control.
For example, the mothers answered a question regarding whether
one of their neighbors would do something if they saw someone
trying to sell drugs to a child or youth, and the teens responded
to a question about whether there were adults they could go to for
advice, explained the researchers.
The teens also provided information on their health behaviors,
such as smoking, and had their height and weight measured to
determine their body-mass index (BMI).
Compared to middle-class teens, poor teens were more likely to
smoke and have a higher BMI. But poor teens who had more social
capital were less likely to smoke and tended to have lower BMIs
than those with less social capital, according to the report
published in the January issue of the journal
Psychological Science.
Previous research has shown that children who grow up in poverty
are more likely to have health problems as adults.
"You may be able to loosen those connections between early childhood poverty and negative health outcomes if you live in a community with good social resources," lead author Gary W. Evans said in a news release from the Association for Psychological Science.

As Rosie O'Donnell ends one relationship, she's talking about another that might have been. On Howard Stern's satellite radio show, in the midst of her rumored separation from longtime partner Kelli Carpenter, the former "View" host revealed she once had a phone fling with none other than international sex symbol Angelina Jolie. "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that," O'Donnell told Stern. "There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through. I was a little afraid of her. She's scary in a sexual kind of way." (Getty Images)

The Vancouver Canucks shocked the hockey world by bringing in former player agent Mike Gillis to replace Dave Nonis as general manager.
Off-Season Game Plan looks at what the new man in charge could do in a summer of potential upheaval on the West Coast.
The first decision, and one which Gillis acknowledges will be his most important, deals with the future of head coach Alain Vigneault. If Gillis is comfortable with Vigneault's defence-first style, then the coach may have a chance to at least finish out the final year of his current contract. If not, the first big change could be behind the bench.
To begin with, Gillis gave a rather blunt assessment of his new team, telling the Vancouver Province, "I don't think this team is close at this particular point."
Not to take issue with the new GM, but the Canucks do have a number of good pieces around which to build, including a premier goaltender and one of the best groups of defencemen in the league.
Up front, the Sedin twins are the franchise players, but Gillis didn't give a ringing endorsement when he told reporters, "They are front-line players but I don't know if they're players that the team will be built around going forward." That doesn't mean that the twins are gone, but it's certainly within the realm of possibility.
Any deal of that magnitude would be massive and would increase the challenge that the Canucks face in trying to increase their offensive output, but the team needs are evident and need to be addressed.
"I think this team needs to get faster, I think it needs more grit and I think it needs to be more competitive," Gillis said in the Vancouver Sun. "If these get addressed well, this team won't be far off. A couple of very good decisions, or a couple of really bold decisions, might put this team in a position to win almost immediately."
If all it's going to take this summer is a couple of bold decisions, that puts a lot of pressure on the new guy -- Gillis -- to step into a job in which he has no experience and do the job well right away.
For those concerned about Gillis' loyalty to his former clients, including free agent winger Markus Naslund, Gillis made his objectives clear, telling reporters, "I don't plan on targeting ex-clients, I plan on targeting the best players available."
Targeting the best players is only half the battle, however. Landing them is what separates the league's best general managers from the rest of the class and that's the challenge facing Gillis as he endeavors to return the Canucks to the postseason.
GM/COACHMike Gillis/Alain Vigneault
Top Prospects: Jannik Hansen, Michael Grabner, Sergei Shirokov
The future of the Sedin twins is a major subject for debate, as the undeniably productive brothers slumped down the stretch (Daniel: three goals, minus-8 in final 18 games; Henrik: three goals, minus-10 in final 18 games) when the Canucks needed them most in their battle for a playoff spot.
Henrik is the playmaker and has put up 232 points over the last three seasons while Daniel is the finisher and has 229 points over the last three seasons. Those are impressive numbers and, given their current contracts, good economic value, but if the Canucks are looking to increase toughness or simply change the make-up of the top lines, the Sedins could be pieces in a blockbuster deal.
Taylor Pyatt's goal total dropped from 23 to 16, but he still matched his career-best of 37 points and finished a career-high plus-9. Pyatt has the physical package to be a quality power forward, but has yet to bring it consistently in order to reach that potential. In the meantime, his size and strength is still valuable in the Canucks' forward ranks.
Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows were superb in their agitating and checking roles. Kesler is an in-your-face two-way centre who displayed some offensive potential, scoring 21 goals.
Burrows is even more of a pest than Kesler and he lifted his game to a new level, going from a minimal fourth-line role to being the only forward in the league to have at least 30 points and 170 penalty minutes.
Speedster Mason Raymond fared well enough in limited duty during his first pro season and therefore he warrants consideration for a second-line role in the future.
Acquired from the Capitals at the trade deadline, Matt Pettinger is a good skater and much better than his career-low six goals (four in the last 20 games with Vancouver) would suggest. He's a solid player who can be useful in a third or fourth-line role.
Jeff Cowan is a battler, and he led the team with a dozen fights despite playing just 46 games. He shouldn't be forced into tangling with heavyweights so often, but Cowan's grit is nice to have in spot duty.
Tiny speedster Ryan Shannon only has 24 points in 80 career NHL games, not enough to secure regular NHL employment, but he's okay to have in a depth role because of his latent offensive skills.
Grinder Rick Rypien has an aggressive mentality, but hasn't been able to stay healthy since turning pro, so anything more than sporadic fourth-line duty would be a surprise.
It's been no secret that the Canucks need more scoring up front, and they can seek solutions in both the trade and free agent markets. When looking to deal, the Canucks do have a surplus of quality NHL defencemen and could easily land a scoring forward like L.A.'s Mike Cammalleri, Buffalo's Maxim Afinogenov or Chicago's Martin Havlat.
On the free agent front, the Canucks have money to spend so they can shoot for the moon, with Marian Hossa, Mats Sundin, Ryan Malone and Kristian Huselius all attractive for a team needing more goals.
Former Gillis client Markus Naslund may be ready for a fresh start somewhere else, but if Gillis makes dramatic changes, it's still possible that Naslund would fit with the new regime.
Top Prospects: Taylor Ellington, Nathan McIver
When healthy, the Canucks have one of the best groups of defencemen in the league, but health was the group's undoing in 2007-2008.
Mattias Ohlund played only 53 games, but he's been a reliable piece on the blueline for more than a decade. Certainly, Ohlund's consistency would have value in trade but, like several of his compadres, the 31-year-old has a no-trade clause so any potential deal would require his approval.
Staying healthy has never been a strong suit for Sami Salo, who has played 70 games or more just twice in nine NHL seasons. When he's on, though, the Finn with the rocket shot is a real threat on the power play.
Pressed into service because of all the injuries to veterans, Alexander Edler emerged as one of the top rookie defencemen in the league. He plays a solid defensive game, moves the puck well and should get better as he gains more experience.
Willie Mitchell is a strong stay-at-home defenceman who frequently matches up against opponents' number one lines and is a handful because of his size and defensive conscience.
Limited to just 39 games by a shoulder injury, Lukas Krajicek is a 25-year-old who is already a solid NHLer, but has yet to reach his potential.
No Canucks defenceman endured a more challenging season than Kevin Bieksa. After a breakthrough campaign in 2006-2007, Bieksa had his calf lacerated by a skate and ended up playing just 34 games, going minus-11. Bieksa's combination of skill and toughness indicates that he could be a workhorse on the blueline, but he may also be the most valuable asset on the Canucks' blueline that doesn't have his movement limited by a no-trade clause.
With their current group of defencemen, the Canucks don't have a lot of room (or need) for impact newcomers, so any free agent signings will likely be of the veteran depth variety.
Top Prospect: Cory Schneider
Roberto Luongo's game slipped a notch, under a heavy workload and what appeared to be a lot of personal turmoil related to the birth of his child. Even so, he's an elite goaltender and could be better with a more reliable backup. It goes without saying that Luongo can play 70-plus games -- he's done it for four straight seasons -- but it's worth the Canucks having a more reliable veteran when Luongo isn't going to play.
Top prospect Cory Schneider came on strong after a so-so start to his first pro season and he could be ready for The Show, but the long-term value to the franchise may be for Schneider to stay in the AHL and log a starter's workload for another season.
