Get Me Roger Stone
"I am the most qualified. I have the most experience. I am the smartest and the most educated." Ń a foolish candidate for public office
I cringe every time I hear a politician say something like that. I loathe the guy saying it, but I still feel for him. That strategy never works.
At best, mentioning your brains and your experience makes you look like a boastful egghead.
At worst, people think you are telling the truth.
Being an experienced politician is not a qualification. It's a huge strike against you.
It's like saying: "Hey, I'm an experienced thief. Let me guard your money." Or "Hey, I'm experienced at sending your sons to Asia to murder foreigners. Let me be your pastor!"
The American voter is willing to forgive almost anything Đ except the sin of being an intellectual insider. Roger Stone understands this better than anyone.
Roger Stone loves to show off the big tattoo of Richard Nixon that he has on his back. Stone's worship of President Nixon makes total sense; Nixon was the master of anti-intellectual political success.
In terms of education, experience, and intellectual prowess, Richard Nixon was second to none. But he never would have told you that. He won a 49-state landslide victory in 1972 based on his personal appeal to the "Great Silent Majority" of working class Americans.
Conservative values only get a candidate so far. Republicans win elections by appealing to the anti-intellectual, anti-Washington, anti-establishment masses.
Roger Stone is the ultimate anti-insider insider. The colorful Netflix documentary "Get Me Roger Stone" presents him as the devious Forest Gump of Republican politics, conveniently popping up in the background at every major event.
The Watergate Hearings: 19-year old Roger Stone was there (he played a very minor dirty trick against Nixon's GOP Primary competitor Pete McCloskey).
The Conservative triumph in 1980: Roger Stone was there (he was Reagan's regional campaign director for the Northeast).
The 2000 Contested Election: Roger Stone was there (Stone claims that he organized a pro-Bush rally that intimidated Florida election workers from changing the results of the recount).
And if you don't hate him enough already, Democrat readers, check this out: Roger Stone founded one of the original Super PACs in 1978 to run independently funded attack ads.
And he founded Black, Manafort, and Stone Đ a shamelessly greedy DC lobbying firm that represented the interests of anyone willing to pay them. Stone's list of clients included Third World dictators like Ferdinand Marcos and Mobutu Sese Seko.
The neat thing about Roger Stone is that he doesn't try to justify or explain away any of his villainy. If anything, he proudly over-emphasizes his evil achievements. It is better to be infamous, Stone proclaims, than not famous at all.
Though he works for Republicans, Roger Stone is far from a Conservative. He used to go to swingers parties with his libertine wife. He enthusiastically supports marijuana legalization.
He was pro-gay marriage long before any Republican (or any member of the Clinton family) supported it. There's a surprising scene where Roger Stone proudly marches in a Pride Parade. He gets booed the entire time.
You can hate him all you want, but you must respect him. Roger Stone knows better than anyone how you win elections in the United States.
It definitely is not by claiming to be the smartest and the most experienced candidate. Just ask Roger Stone's latest protege: President Trump.

Four people, who live in the flats neighbouring St Columbkille's Church, fled the building when the fire took hold at around 10.30am.
Residents of a Rutherglen block of flats escaped injury when the common close of the building became engulfed in flames this morning, Monday.
All householders received precautionary treatment for smoke inhalation from paramedics, but no one was seriously hurt.
Firefighters were called to deal with an initial report of a fire in a bin shed behind the Main Street building, but discovered on arrival that the common close was also alight.
A further three appliances - from Polmadie, Clydesmill and Calton - attended and the fires were put out.
Early indications suggest the fires were set deliberately.
Robert Deans, area commander at Clydesmill Fire Station, said the fact that fires had been started in two areas of the common close and in the bin shed suggested they were not accidental.
He said: "This was a significant incident in as much as it had the potential to endanger the lives of all the residents within that block of flats.
"It was also significant in that it took quite a number of resources to deal with the incident.

Q: (CSS & HTML) CSS doesn't load I'm having some weird trouble with my css, It doesn't load!?
So I'm using google chrome to preview it on and it always had worked fine,
until I started to ad meta tags. This is the code that I'm using;

Rhonda Ellis is the first face employees and visitors see when they come across the Locust connector into the hospital every day. As a visitor monitor at the Locust desk, she considers it a privilege to be able to extend a piece of herself in the hopes of making someone else's day brighter.
It was 1972 when Rhonda first took a job in the housekeeping department at Akron Children's after graduating from high school. During that time she competed in the local Miss United Way pageant and won.
Feeling the pull to do something different, Rhonda left Children's in 1975 to work as an admissions supervisor at Akron General Medical Center. After 5 years she took a job at a Cleveland hospital doing financial counseling. Eventually Rhonda transitioned her career into managing the business offices of local nursing homes for over 20 years. Her last stint included working in a home for handicapped children.
When her mother's health started to decline, Rhonda took a break from her fulltime career to spend time with her mom who moved in with her.
In April 2015, Rhonda found herself back at the place where it all began.
But it's not just the patients and their families that Rhonda impacts on a daily basis.
Outside of work, Rhonda says it's her girlfriends and husband, J.C., who make her smile. She met J.C. in 2004 when she was a soloist at the annual 'Gospel Meets Symphony' fundraiser.
"I performed in that event for 20 years and the best thing I got out of it was my husband," she joked.
The accomplished singer performed in the hospital's Employee Foundation Council's Harvest for Hunger Idol last year and her dream gig is to sing at a Cleveland Cavaliers game someday.
"I want to perform the national anthem acapella at a Cavs home game – that would be a dream come true," she says.
Although her husband is set to retire in April from Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board, Rhonda has no plans to join him just yet.

BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje. File photo
BJP will safeguard its MLA candidates for Karnataka by-polls: Shobha Karandlaje
ANI | Updated: Nov 25, 2019 23:23 IST
Bengaluru (Karnataka) [India], Nov 25 (ANI): Snapping back at Congress leader Siddaramaiah over his remarks on MLAs, BJP MP Shobha Karandlaje on Monday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party will safeguard all its MLA candidates and will make them win in the upcoming Karnataka by-elections.
The reaction from Karandlaje comes after former Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah on November 20 had said, "Our agenda is to make sure that all the disqualified MLAs lose the election. Whether JD(S) supports BJP or not, is not the issue to talk about at this point in time."
The BJP leader said, "Congress doesn't need to worry about our MLA candidates. We will safeguard them and we are working for their win in the by-poll election. Congress is desperate and they are organising protests against election commission."
Exuding confidence in the upcoming by-elections, Karandlaje said, "We will win all 15 seats to make sure BS Yediyurappa government will run for the full term of its tenure."
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court upheld K R Ramesh Kumar's decision to disqualify 17 rebel Congress-JD(S) MLAs under the anti-defection law and said that they can contest the upcoming by-elections in the state.
The rebel legislators were also barred from contesting polls for the duration of the current assembly, which is slated to end in 2023.
The move marked the end of Congress-JD (S) coalition government, paving way for BJP to stake claim to form a new government in the state.
The disgruntled MLAs then moved the apex court challenging their disqualification. They sought quashing of the order passed by the Speaker and prohibition imposed on them to contest elections.
The matter was reserved by the court on October 25.
The elections for 15 out of 17 seats are slated to be held on December 5 since the poll body had withheld the elections for two seats -- Maski and Rajarajeshwari -- as the petitions against these Assembly constituencies are pending in the Karnataka High Court. (ANI)

Q: Is it possible for Apache to rename a file to symbolic link value when it is being downloaded? I have two websites where the first one provides a bunch of links to files being download from the second one.
I need the links on the first website to be static while still allowing files to be modified on the back end.
For example, the links would look like:
[link to file1] (displayed on server1) -> server2.com/file1.zip
[link to file2] (displayed on server1) -> server2.com/file2.zip

On the second server, the files themselves are symbolic links, pointing to files with version values, for example:
file1.zip -> file1-1.0.0.0.zip
file2.zip -> file2-1.0.0.0.zip

This worked well enough but unfortunately the file name the user sees is "file1.zip" while I would need them to see "file1-1.0.0.0.zip" (value of the symbolic link).
I've solved the problem by using a php file that renames the file as they are being downloaded. Is there another way to solve this problem, for example by properly configured Apache? It would be ideal if I didn't have to maintain a PHP file.

A knocked out tooth or bitten tongue can cause panic in any parent. Quick thinking and staying calm are the best ways to approach such common dental emergencies and prevent additional unnecessary damage and costly dental restoration. This includes taking measures such as application of cold compresses to reduce swelling, and of course, contacting our office as soon as possible.


An aition explaining the name of Cephallenia and reinforcing its cultural connections with Athens, associates the island with the mythological figure of Cephalus, who helped Amphitryon of Mycenae in a war against the Taphians and Teleboans. He was awarded with the island of Samos, which thereafter came to be known as Cephallenia. Kefaloina is also suggested as the Homeric Ithaca, the home of Odysseus, rather than the smaller island bearing this name today. Robert Bittlestone, in his book Odysseus Unbound, has suggested that Paliki, now a peninsula of Kefalonia, was a separate island during the late Bronze Age, and it may be this that Homer was referring to when he described Ithaca. A project starting in the Summer of 2007, and lasting three years examines this possibility.
In the Southwest of the island, in the area of Leivatho, an ongoing archaeological field survey by the Irish Institute at Athens has discovered dozens of sites, with dates ranging from the Palaeolithic to the Venetian period. From archaeological point of view Kefalonia is an extremely interesting island. Archaeological findings go back to 40,000 BP. Without any doubt the island's most important era is the Mycenaean era from approx. 1500-1100 B.C. The archaeological museum in Kefalonia's capital Argostoli – although small – is regarded as the most important museum in Greece for its exhibits from this era.
The most important archaeological discovery in Kefalonia (and in Greece) of the past 20 years was the discovery in 1991 of the Mycenaean tholos tomb at the outskirts of the village Tzanata, near Poros in south-eastern Kefalonia (Municipality of Elios-Pronni) in a lovely setting of olive trees, cypresses and oaks. The tomb was erected around 1300 B.C. In these tholos tombs kings and high ranked officials were buried in the Mycenaean period. It is the biggest tholos tomb yet found in north-western Greece. The tomb was excavated by the archaeologist Lazaros Kolonas. The size of the tomb, the nature of the burial offerings found there and its well-chosen position point to the existence of an important Mycenaean town in the vicinity.
During the Middle Ages there existed the County palatine of Cephalonia and Zakynthos under the Kingdom of Naples and later the Venetian Republic. Venetian rule was interrupted by Ottoman rule between 1479-1500.
In the 16th to 18th centuries, it was one of the largest exporters of currants in the world, providing with Zakynthos and owned a large shipping fleet, even commissioning ships from the Danzig shipyard. The towns and villages mostly were built high on hilltops, to prevent attacks from raiding parties of pirates that sailed the Ionian Sea during the 1820s.
From 1797 to 1798, the island was part of the French départment Ithaque. From 1799 to 1807, it was part of the Septinsular Republic, nominally under sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire but protected by Russia. After a renewed period under French control (1807–1809), it was liberated by Britain and became part of the British-controlled United States of the Ionian Islands from 1815 to 1864.
In 1864, Kefalonia, together with all the other Ionian Islands, became a full member of the Greek state.

Defend Democracy, Macron Urges EU
By Dorcas Cobbinah	 On Apr 17, 2018
French President Emmanuel Macron has warned that "there seems to be a European civil war" between liberal democracy and rising authoritarianism.
He urged the EU to renew its commitment to democracy, in a passionate speech to the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
"I don't want to belong to a generation of sleepwalkers that has forgotten its own past", he said, recalling how the EU arose after World War Two.
He is launching debates with voters, aimed at re-engaging them with the EU.
In his speech he condemned what he called "a fascination with the illiberal" in Europe.
Last year Mr Macron and his new liberal party, La République en Marche (LREM), triumphed in French elections with a strongly pro-EU platform.
His second-round rival in the presidential election was National Front (FN) leader Marine Le Pen, a nationalist and fierce critic of the EU.
Mr Macron was also hitting back at the Eurosceptics who drove the vote for Brexit in the UK.
As Brexit will leave a big hole in the EU budget he said there should no longer be budget rebates for some member states. He added that France was prepared to increase its contribution.
President Macron used some memorable phrases as he sought to reinvigorate European democracy.
The divisions in Europe were like a "civil war… where there is an increasing fascination with illiberalism".
And was he referring to Brexit when he said that, in response to problems, some proposed a yellow brick road, to take their people off on an adventure somewhere else?
There was some policy amongst the poetry – support for a temporary digital tax that could become permanent, a new fund for communities that take in migrants, copyright laws to protect European culture, and a call for a roadmap for eurozone reforms, which are controversial in Germany and northern Europe.
Most striking was his heralding of a new generation that didn't experience World War Two and saw Europe in a different way. But will next year's elections for the European Parliament usher in a wave of MEPs who want to strengthen the EU, or to rip it apart? That's the test.

My cousin (the blond) and her friend came down for a visit and Senior Pictures last weekend. My family had a blast with them and their mothers. We stayed up 'til the wee hours of the morn talking and laughing. We went out to a fabulous lunch, they did all my laundry, kept my house clean and watched my kids while my hubby and I went to a Halloween party! It was such a treat. The girls are both beautiful and were so fun to photograph. I cannot believe how old my sweet cousin is. When she was a baby/toddler, I hauled her around everywhere and was her favorite. Then she grew up into this gorgeous young woman. Why are people always growing up on me? Goodness!
Anyway, we had a great time at some train tracks with a nearby warehouse we found on our way downtown.
This little gal is an artist. So we had to have a shot with some of her buds.
Check out this dress! Little Miss Handy Dandy made it for one of her dances out of Duct Tape.
Here's some different up close shots for you to get a better gander at the pure awesomeness.
I love the lace-up back and the hot pink accents.
We went to the desert real quick the night before just as the sun was setting.
is that melissa?? wow they are very beautiful girls and all i can say is holy cow with the duct tape dress, very cool!
Those were awesome. Some of my favorites.
The dress is great. It reminds me of the dress made out of American Express cards years ago at the Oscars.
um... is that seriously Melissa? NO WAY!
Where on earth did she get all those FABULOUS hair clips?
My word, you gals are gorgeous!! And what fabulous outfits! Love the pics! And the duct tape dress is SUPERB!! Two thumbs up!
Wow that sounds like quite the busy day but definitely well worth it. What a huge array of photos how will they ever narrow them down to their favorites?
Man you did a fantastic job. That tape dress is AMAZING.. I love the yellow dress and the feather headband. So much eye candy..
Reminds me of the book by Michele Ashman Bell - "A Modest Proposal". If all ya'all haven't read it, then you MUST!!! You'll love it!
Cute girls, great pics...and AWESOME shoes!!
I love the pictures and comments as well. It is so much fun to look at and read your blog. It is like reading a good book! I loved Lissy's duct tape dress - amazing! I also love your picture work and B's party! Too fun!

Test and trace scheme to keep citizens' personal data for 20 years
Written by Sam Trendall on 29 May 2020 in News
PHE also reveals outsourcers Serco and Sitel will process sensitive information and claims length of retention is 'because Covid-19 is a new disease'
Credit: Pxhere
Personal data from the NHS Test and Trace programme will be kept for 20 years and health secretary Matt Hancock has provided special exemption for the scheme to use sensitive information without citizens' consent.
The privacy notice for the programme, which launched yesterday, not only cites the sections of the General Data Protection Regulation pertaining to use of data in the public interest or for delivery of public services, but also indicates that Hancock has provided Public Health England with "special permission… to use personally identifiable information without people's consent, where this is in the public interest".
Personal data – on those who have tested positive for Covid-19 – will initially be provided to the programme by Public Health England. Contact tracers will then get in touch with these people to obtain or confirm their full name, date of birth, sex, NHS number, full home address, telephone number, email address, and a history of their coronavirus symptoms. Tracers will also ask for contact details of anyone to have come into close contact with those who have tested positive.
Personal data on people that have suffered symptoms will be kept by PHE for 20 years. Information on those who have been in close contact with confirmed cases but have shown no symptoms themselves will be retained for five years.
The privacy notice said: "This information needs to be kept for this long because Covid-19 is a new disease and it may be necessary to know who has been infected, or been in close contact with someone with symptoms, to help control any future outbreaks or to provide any new treatments."
Number of contact tracers recruited for Test and Trace scheme
Serco and Sitel Group
Outsourcers appointed by PHE to help meet the recruitment requirements of Test and Trace
End date of emergency order issued last month by Matt Hancock, instructing NHS organisations to process and share confidential data
Five years
Length of time personal data will be kept on people who have been in contact with coronavirus cases did not develop symptoms
Cloud firm tasked with storing and securing data
The data will be stored in an Amazon Web Services cloud environment. But, although the notice indicates that the tech firm will is allowed to process the data, its "staff… are not able to see any of the information collected".
"Information… is held on computer systems, which have been tested to make sure they are secure and are being kept up-to-date to make sure they are safe from viruses and hacking," PHE said.
In addition to Public Health England – which is the data controller – information will also be processed by the Department of Health and Social Care, and two of its arm's-length bodies: NHS Business Services Authority; and NHS Professionals – a recruitment company owned by DHSC.
Because of the "unprecedented" hiring demands of the programme – which has required the rapid recruitment of 25,000 tracers, PHE has "instructed" two outsourcers, Serco and Sitel Group, to provide "additional staff".
The two firms are consequently listed as data processors.
"The contact tracers working for Serco UK and Sitel Group… can only see the information of the contacts they have been instructed to call," PHE said. "Serco UK and Sitel Group staff working on NHS Test and Trace have been trained to protect the confidentiality of people with Covid-19 and their contacts."
It added: "No information that could identify any person with COVID-19 or their contacts will ever be published by Public Health England or any of the organisations working with it on NHS Test and Trace."
Citizens whose data is held by the scheme have the right to ask for a copy of their personal information, and for inaccurate info to be corrected or restricted in its use.
They can also object to their data being used, and can ask for its deletion – but the notice makes clear that neither of these is "an absolute right".
"Public Health England may need to continue to use your information," it said. "We will tell you why if this is the case."
Although 20 years may seem like a long time for data to be retained – particularly in support of a comparatively short-term scheme such as this – lengthy data-storage periods are not uncommon across the health service.
"Information needs to be kept for this long because Covid-19 is a new disease and it may be necessary... to help control any future outbreaks or to provide any new treatments"
The Records Management Code of Practice implemented by the government in 2016 outlines that, for example, care providers should keep mental health records for 20 years after a patient's discharge, while information on long-term or recurring conditions is held for 30 years after treatment has ended. Blood bank records are kept for a minimum of 30 years after their creation.
The exemption given by Hancock for data to be used without individuals' consent comes after the health secretary last month issued a six-month order instructing health-service organisations that, in supporting government's coronavirus response, they are "required to process confidential information" in ways that might ordinarily be restricted.
In a series of emergency notifications, all national and local NHS entities, arm's-length government bodies, and local authorities were informed that they can, effectively, share any patient data with any relevant organisation, providing the purpose of doing so is solely related to coronavirus research or response. They may also be directly instructed by government to engage in such sharing.
The order was issued with an end date of 30 September – although this could be extended if Hancock issues an explicit order to do so.

SM bats for film literacy
Mall giant wants the youth to go back to cinemas
By: Bayani San Diego Jr.
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 07:46 PM May 19, 2011
MALL giant SM is keenly aware of the urgent need to lure people back to cinemas.
One way to do this, SM execs pointed out, is by rebuilding the audience through a film literacy program.
Edgar C. Tejerero, senior vice president of SM Cinemas, told Inquirer Entertainment: "We have to encourage the youth to watch local movies again."
Beyond school-sponsored field trips to its cinemas, SM is going a step further by teaming up with film scholar and filmmaker Nick Deocampo's Center for New Cinema.
"Our Film Literacy Program follows a curriculum that covers various subjects that educational institutions take up as well," Tejerero said.
Paolo Arugay, business development manager, said: "SM wants to help provide educators with alternative ways to present academic subjects. Film is an effective tool."
According to Tejerero, some of the subjects covered in the program are Philippine history, women's role in nation-building, and Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs).
"In consultation with schools and universities, we came up with 100 titles to include in the program," said Tejerero.
Works directed by Deocampo are among the films featured in the program, Arugay said—for example, the documentaries "Edades" and "Cine>Sine."
"Edades" recounts the life of National Artist for Visual Arts Victorio C. Edades, also known as the Father of Modernism. "Cine>Sine: Spanish Beginnings of Philippine Cinema" traces the roots of movie-making in the country. Based on Deocampo's prize-winning book, "Cine: Spanish Influences on Early Cinema in the Philippines," the hour-long film is the first full-length docu in 3D animation.
Tejerero said SM has partnered with 49 schools in Metro Manila for this undertaking, among them: San Beda College, Ateneo de Manila University, University of Asia and the Pacific, St. Benedict's College in Alabang, Philippine Women's University and Mapua Institute of Technology.
By focusing on the youth, he said, SM hopes to build an audience for its cinemas again.
Arugay said SM also plans to work with the Film Development Council of the Philippines, through its Sineng Pambansa film festivals.
Two editions of Sineng Pambansa have been held in SM malls in Iloilo and Baguio.
"We want to bring back the habit of movie-watching," said Tejerero. "We are doing everything to herd viewers back to cinemas."

Impaired Driving Restrictions on Federal Property
Friday 27 December, 2013.
In an Executive Memorandum, issued on March 3, 1998, President Clinton directed the Secretary of Transportation to develop a plan that promotes the adoption of a .08 BAC legal limit. In particular, the memorandum directed the Secretary to consider in his plan setting, enforcing and publicizing a .08 BAC standard on Federal property (specifically in national parks and on Department of Defense installations) and encouraging Tribal governments to adopt, enforce and publicize a .08 BAC standard on highways in Indian Country that are subject to their jurisdiction.
The National Park Service (NPS), Department of the Interior (DOI), is authorized to establish rules and regulations governing the use and management of parks, monuments and reservations under its jurisdiction. 16 U.S.C. 3.
Under this authority, NPS has issued vehicle and traffic regulations. 36 CFR Part 4. Subsection 4.23(a)(2) of these regulations establishes .10 BAC as the per se legal limit for drivers who operate a vehicle on roadways or in parking areas within all park areas that are open to public traffic and that are under the legislative jurisdiction of the United States.
The regulation provides further that, "if state law ... establishes more restrictive limits of alcohol concentration in the operator's blood or breath, those limits supersede the limits specified in this paragraph." In other words, in park areas in states that have established .08 BAC as the legal limit, drivers are prohibited from operating a vehicle with a BAC of .08 or higher. In all other park areas (including those in states that have not adopted a per se statute), drivers are currently subject to the .10 BAC per se requirement.
Pursuant to the Presidential directive dated March 3, 1998, NHTSA has worked with NPS to promote the adoption of a national .08 BAC legal limit. In accordance with the directive, NPS has initiated plans to conduct rule making to amend its regulation to lower the legal limit in park areas from .10 BAC to .08 BAC.
Department of Defense Installations
The Department of Defense (DoD) has jurisdiction over DoD installations. 10 U.S.C. 113; 30112(g).
Under this authority, DoD has issued DoD Directive 101.7 establishing DoD policy regarding drunk and drugged driving. Under the Directive, which applies to and must be implemented by all DoD services, it is unlawful to operate a motor vehicle with a BAC of .10 or higher on a military installation or in an area where traffic operations are under military supervision. This policy has been adopted in 32 CFR Part 634.
Operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of .10 is a violation also under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ), 10 U.S.C. § 911, and the consequences of such a violation by DoD personnel are extremely severe. In addition to losing driving privileges, personnel can be disciplined, by non judicial punishment or court martial. Punishments can involve loss of pay, demotions, correctional custody and even confinement, if appropriate. Such a violation can end the career of an officer.
DoD Directive 5525.4 governs traffic laws and regulations applicable to any individual who operates a vehicle on a DoD installation by assimilating state laws.
Pursuant to the Presidential directive dated March 3, 1998, NHTSA has worked with DoD to promote the adoption of a national .08 BAC legal limit. In accordance with the directive, DoD has initiated plans to amend all applicable DoD Directives and regulations to lower the legal limit on DoD installations from .10 BAC to .08 BAC. In addition, DoD's Joint Service Committee on Military Justice has initiated plans to propose that the legal limit in the UCMJ be lowered from .10 BAC to .08 BAC. This would require Congressional action.
Other Federal Properties
There are other Federal agencies that administer and have Federal law enforcement jurisdiction over additional types of Federal property. For example, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Department of the Interior (DOI), has jurisdiction over public lands in the United States and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Department of Agriculture (USDA), has jurisdiction over National Forest System lands.
Pursuant to the Presidential directive dated March 3, 1998, NHTSA has worked with the BLM and the USFS to determine whether a national .08 BAC legal limit should be adopted for the Federal properties they administer and over which they have Federal law enforcement jurisdiction.
There are conditions, however, that apply to these Federal properties that are different from those that apply to national parks and DoD installations, and some of these conditions make it impractical to adopt a national BAC legal limit that is different from the legal limit established by state law.

Penn State Urged to Avoid Tainted FBI Officials - National Whistleblower Center. NWC Demands Holder Investigate FBI Failures in Child Sex Crime Cases Washington, D.C. November 22, 2011. Today, the NWC issued a letter calling for an independent investigation of child sex abuse cases that were mishandled by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and FBI Director Robert Mueller. Additionally, the NWC called upon Penn State to ensure that former FBI agents involved in the misconduct in the handling of child sex crimes within the FBI are explicitly barred from any involvement in the Penn State investigation and that former Director Louis Freeh be questioned as to his knowledge of the FBI's failures. Former FBI Agent Jane Turner's well-documented and highly credible allegations that the FBI did not properly act to protect young children from rape and sexual abuse on Native American reservations and in Minot, North Dakota, between 1998 and 2002 were never properly investigated by the FBI or the Department of Justice.

Indian Energy Development: Interior Could Do More to Improve Its Process for Approving Revenue-Sharing Agreements. What GAO Found The Department of the Interior (Interior) recently issued guidance intended to streamline the review process and reduce the approval times of oil and gas revenue-sharing agreements—called a communitization agreement (CA)—that include Indian resources. Under the revised guidance, for example, oil and gas operators are to provide simplified, less detailed information in their CA applications.
In addition, the revised guidance eliminates some duplication in the Bureau of Indian Affairs' (BIA) and the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) review processes. Potential Time-Saving Steps of the Revised Communitization Agreement Process It is too early to determine the effect the revised guidance will have on the CA process, but Interior will be limited in its ability to assess the results of its actions for three reasons: Interior has established few time frames for the BIA and BLM offices that perform key tasks during the review and approval process. Why GAO Did This Study. SEARCH: Code of Federal Regulations. Guidance for the Disclosure of Organizational Conflict Of Interest in the Selection and Use of Third-Party Contractors in Preparation of Environmental Documents by the Department Of State. This Guidance, issued February 26, 2015, replaces the Department's Interim Guidance for the Disclosure of Organizational Conflict of Interest in the Use of Third-Party Contractors in Preparation of Environmental Documents by the Department of State.
I. Organizational Conflict of Interest All prospective contractors submitting proposals (Offerors) must submit as part of their proposals an Offeror's Organizational Conflicts of Interest Disclosure Certification (OCI Disclosure Certification), in which the Offeror specifies, consistent with NEPA regulations, that "they have no financial or other interest in the outcome of the project."[1] More information on the preparation of that Certification follows in Section II. An Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) exists when the nature of the work to be performed may, without some restriction on future activities: a) result in an unfair competitive advantage to a contractor; or c) would be called on to review its own prior work; and/or II.
III. United States v. Sioux Nation of Indians | Oyez. ILI Report - Western Shoshone Docket 326-K. A Report On Behalf of the Western Shoshone National Council Prepared by Steven Newcomb Director, Indigenous Law Institute (Eugene, Oregon) and Indigenous Law Research Coordinator, D-Q University at Sycuan The Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation (El Cajon, California) January 2003 Summary Information has recently come to light that raises a fundamental question with regard to the Indian Claims Commission Western Shoshone Docket 326-K.
Section 21 of the Indian Claims Commission Act (ICCA) required the Indian Claims Commission to promptly file a report with Congress when it completed a given case. Thus, the statutory basis for a Western Shoshone monetary distribution of Docket 326-K now stands challenged by the failure of the Indian Claims Commission to fulfill its obligations in the Western Shoshone case, as required by the very statute that brought the Commission into existence. Failure of the Indian Claims Commission to File a Report with Congress Sec. 21. Sec. 22. In U.S. v. Conclusion 1. 2. 11.06.14 North Dakota Tribal Consultation Effort Receives Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Award. 08.21.14 Corps Needs to Take Steps to Identify All Projects and Studies Eligible for Deauthorization.
What GAO Found The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps) backlog list of authorized water resources construction projects is incomplete because the agency does not track all authorized projects and the list does not include studies. Specifically, GAO found that the backlog does not include some projects that were authorized but were not appropriated funds. Corps headquarters officials said that the agency does not have a policy instructing its district offices to enter into their databases projects that are authorized but have not been appropriated funds and that it is up to the discretion of the district offices to do so. Corps officials also stated that the agency does not include studies on its backlog, nor does it have a policy instructing district offices to track studies.
Federal internal control standards state that agencies are to document internal controls in management directives, administrative policies, or operating manuals to help ensure consistent treatment. 04.10.1995 Excessing of Lands within Reservations at Lake Sakakawea & at Lake Oahe. 2014 report: Water quality conditions in the Missouri River mainstem system :: Technical Reports. 2014 report: Water quality conditions in the Missouri River mainstem system (pdf, large) 11.04.05 Sioux Tribal Historic Preservation, human remains, recommendations. 12.16.16 Notice of Inventory Completion: inventory of human remains, in consultation with the appropriate Indian tribes [Federal Register]
