1 in 10 babies are born preterm each year
15 million babies are born premature every year, and 1.1 million of those infants die, according to a UN-sponsored report.
Wed, May 02, 2012 at 1:45 PM

Fifteen million babies, or one in 10 around the world are born premature every year, and 1.1 million of those infants die, according to a UN-sponsored report released Wednesday.
Premature birth is the leading cause of death for newborn infants and is on the rise globally, said the report led by the March of Dimes, The Partnership for Maternal, Newborn & Child Health, Save the Children and the World Health Organization.
The study defined preterm birth as occurring before 37 weeks of pregnancy are complete. Typical pregnancies last 38-40 weeks.
Southern Asia leads the world with the highest preterm birth rate, with 13.3 percent of babies born early, followed by Sub-Saharan Africa at 12.3 percent, it said. Together, Africa and South Asia account for 60 percent of all preterm births.
The developed world's overall preterm birth rate came in at 8.6 percent.
Malawi had the highest rate of early births of any of the 184 countries studied, with more than 18 percent, followed by Congo, Comoros and Zimbabwe.
Pakistan and Indonesia ranked eighth and ninth highest, while the lowest preterm birth rate was in Belarus at under 5 percent.
When it came to counting numbers of preterm births in the world, rather than birth rates, the highest numbers were in India, China, Nigeria, Pakistan, Indonesia and the United States.
Those countries were the leaders of a group of 15 that accounts for two-thirds of the world's preterm births, the report said.
"There is a dramatic survival gap for premature babies depending on where they are born," it added, noting that more than 90 percent of babies born before 28 weeks in low-income countries die within the first few days of life.
In high income countries, fewer than 10 percent of these babies die, it said.
The causes of preterm birth are often unknown, but there may be links to genetic influences, high blood pressure, diabetes, infections or chronic conditions.
Teen pregnancy, short time gaps between births, being underweight or overweight prior to conception and substance or alcohol abuse are also risk factors.

The Online Master of Arts (Biblical and Theological Studies) degree program utilizes innovative distance learning systems to build a strong comprehension of theology, rooted in a thorough investigation of the Scriptures, with an eye toward Gospel-centered transformation. Students will find themselves academically fit and spiritually prepared as informed theologians for work as a ministry leader, pastor, or educator, or for professional people whose ministry is in the market place. This blend of training also serves as an excellent foundation for later doctoral studies.
GRADUATE3 In as few as three years |
ONLINEYes All credits online, except 2 weeks of on campus courses |
ON CAMPUSTake as many on campus courses as you like in Portland, San Jose, Sacramento |
Online learning in community. No compromise.
Christian faith and evangelical conviction grow stronger when beliefs are sourced in the Bible, rather than in tradition or culture. In Western Seminary's Online M.A. (Biblical and Theological Studies), study of the Bible, theology, and church history leads to a richer experience of God, as well as the ability and desire to communicate His glory to others. You can train wherever you call home.
Eighty years of gospel-centered instruction, and thirty years of innovation in distance learning mean that our Online campus offers exceptional online training from seasoned ministry practitioners. Even more than advanced technology, it is the worldwide community and ongoing mentoring that set this program apart.
A Program with Purpose
This is immersion in theology and Scripture to enhance your gospel communication. The Online M.A. (Biblical and Theological Studies) builds a strong understanding of theology rooted in a thorough investigation of the Scriptures, with an eye toward gospel-centered transformation. Students will find themselves academically fit and spiritually prepared as informed theologians for work as ministry leaders, pastors, educators, or for professionals whose ministries are in the marketplace. It also serves those who aim to deepen their understanding of the Bible and already have a great toolbox of ministry skills. This blend of training provides an excellent foundation for future doctoral studies.
Specialize your training
The Exegetical Track allows you to learn from and interpret the Greek and Hebrew texts, since over 1/3 of the program focuses on the original biblical languages. The Theological Track offers the chance to dig deep in biblical, historical, or theological studies. Whichever track you choose, you can expect to develop your theological position directly from Scripture.
Online Training, Powered by Integr@te
We're serious about quality training, which is why we developed the Integr@te software. This is our own downloadable learning system, built to ensure your success in online seminary training. Wherever you have a high-speed internet connection, you'll have immediate access to a suite of Bible study and course calendaring tools, as well as video lectures by Western professors. All this compliments Online Learning Centers that serve as a hub for global student interaction and learning assessment.
Study at a Pace that Fits Your Priorities

10 |

Degree completed for a lifetime of enhanced impact for Christ.
Start your seminary training in September, January, or May—whichever fits your schedule best. And while the program is designed to be completed in four years of part-time studies, you may accelerate your study to finish in less than three years or slow your studies when situations warrant.
A Connected Community + Mentoring Option
We are committed to making your online learning experience a memorable and relational one. Near the start of your program, you'll build a new support network by taking a week of Threshold courses on our Portland Campus with fellow online students. During your trip, you'll meet course instructors who will explain subject matter, give feedback on assignments, and offer advising throughout your training. You'll also meet student services staff and learn how to access the support resources we make available. This community will encourage and equip you during your training, which culminates in one last trip to campus to complete a final Capstone course and walk in a graduation ceremony.
Throughout the program, you will have the opportunity to participate in personal and career mentoring which follows your own Personal Development Plan. This plan will drive the two meetings you have with your Program Mentor per semester via internet communication software. During these sessions, you'll assess progress in the areas of course content, ministry competency, personal character, and interpersonal relationships. All of this is directed at seeing your training catalyze true spiritual transformation in your life and work.
Gain Access to an Extensive Online Library
The Online M.A. (Biblical and Theological Studies) is an academic degree program, and carries the expectation that students will engage in high-level research. Along with the hard copy and digital library collections on each campus, we make a wide variety of online research resources available to our students, including:
- American Theological Library Association index

- EBSCO E-Book Collection

Samsung under fire for alleged labor abuses in Brazil
Prosecutors in Brazil have filed a lawsuit against Samsung accusing the company of violating labor rights in the country by allegedly having employees in one of its factories work extremely long shifts for dozens of days in a row.
According to Reporter Brasil, a Brazilian news agency that reports on labor issues, the lawsuit was filed after the Ministry of Labor and Employment uncovered alleged egregious working conditions after two inspections at a Samsung factory in the Zona Franca de Manaus -- where some of the company's smartphones are assembled.

Pretty nasty. Couldn't find anyone smaller to cheap shot? I saw it last night, but I couldn't remember anyone ever being knocked to the ground while wearing a helmet.
I think it was more of an acting job on the part of the NC State player in order for the Clemson player to get a penalty. With those helmets on, it's hard to do any damage and knock a player down. Do you really think the force of the fist blow with helmet on knocked him to the ground? I don't know but this is the first I've seen.
Took a dive? He got rocked on the chin. That's assault with proof, imo. And a misdemeanor. I'd have no problem with criminal charges being filed. No room for that on the field.
Hell yeah that could knock him out if he got up under the facemask. Which is exactly what it looks like. Pretty big shot.
Yeah there is, especially when looking up. After he got ejected, the camera showed him on the sideline and it looked like he was motioning that he purposely aimed for his chin.. I'd say the little guy felt it instead of taking a dive. I remember the cloth chin straps, if he was wearing one of those, there's a chance the little guy could have been taking a nap after that punch
That's a heckuva blow. Plus the guy throwing it is a big offensive lineman and the recipient is a smaller DB.
That did not look like a clean blow. Big guy lands one like that cleanly while the little guy is not expecting it and his head will not cock back that quickly. But he rolled over and got right up after that. Still, no place for even swinging like that in football. Go GATORS! ,WESGATORS
The way his left knee buckled, if he didn't catch himself, he would have been on his ass right then and there. Still, no one takes a punch like Richard Sherman
That was a nasty uppercut, and it certainly did get under the mask. The guy takes a pretty good punch.
Oh how I remember taking shots under the facemask. If you think that can't drop a guy you're wrong. Keep in mind it is the violence of the brain's movement inside/against the skull that determines that. And front-to-back movement is one of the most damaging. Heck, it's the reason an uppercut is such a devastating punch. And it's a Climpson player so he should be suspended for at least six games. That'll really piss off ole Dabo...since the kid's already been paid for twelve. :grin:
Deserves some serious punishment for that. If players get ejected & have to sit out a half for a helmet to helmet hit, which can be accidental, he should get a mega penalty for that punch. Gotta give it to him though, looked pretty nimble dancing away after he threw the punch.

18 responses to "Blackout Cubbetry: Aramis Ramirez and Effort"
Oh gosh that was epic and awesome or epically awesome.
once again, hilarious!! but it makes me so sad to look at 3rd Base next year (stat wise)
Would retaining Aramis Ramirez really make much of a difference in 2012? I mean right now "we stinks."
Having him this year didn't make a difference.
At this point, and what Ramirez has said since June, I'd be pretty disappointed if he was back next year. I was a big Ramirez fan, but it just seems like its time to move on. Assuming the cubs exercise thier option, and he rejects it making himself a free agent, wouldn't it be better to have a young player in at third that would at least give maximum effort make more sense? Granted, it's hard to look at ARam's stats and dismiss them totally, but how many of those HRs or RBI were meaningful to the games?
If the Cubs were going all out in 2012, I'd want Ramirez back. Otherwise, I totally agree: let one of the kids (or a couple of them) hack it out, and see what they've got. It might be terrible, but at least we'll know.
Agree with the go young approach. The subs aren't going to hit .200 and 0 HRs.
If you just played a platoon of DeWitt and Baker (sp?) or put another two viable candidates of your choice in there and you should see a composite .270 average, 15+ HRs and much improved defense and base running. The net will be a minus, but it won't be that perceivable unless you seriously thought you could win 90 games.
Kerf, to answer "how many of ARam's HR's were in meaningful games?" well, how many of anyone on the Cubs' HR's were in meaningful games?? did we even play a meaningful game this year?
I do think he has value.. more than most of you give him credit for. we bash his defense and body language, but he does produce. we would be much worse off next year without him if we go young, but I do agree that it's time to move on and he's being a bit of a prick right now.
this is just going to be a rough year. I mean there are not enough quality free agents IMO to make us a WS team and our valuable trade chips are too young to deal. Giving guys a shot couldnt hurt. It is going to be interesting to see what direction whoever is in charge decides to take.
Move Castro to 3rd and sign Reyes.
Why? We don't have any power if Ramirez leaves. I say hold down the opposition by signing CJ Wilson or going all in and signing CC Sabathia, should he opt out.
If he exercises option, we are stuck with him…his agent should tell him to do so to set a floor on his salary next yr….then he has leverage
I agree rooster… However if Aramis decides to leave
Edwin Encarnacion would be a nice pick up -
Personally, I would love Scott Rolen if the Reds let him go, but I don't think that shoulder will ever be good.
reyes blows!
Ahh blackout Cubbetry how I have missed thee.
I think you keep Aramis, he is the best hitter on the team and is a good fielder. An overall bad year for the Cubs. Pitching is the answer not getting rid of your best hitter is a wise move and getting pitching and 1sy baseman that can hit the ball. There is no one else to put at third the Cubs have not produced anyone in years! I do like Vitters one of there better prospects at third. Let him evolve sign Aramis for 3 to 4 more years then throw in a young gin third baseman. Pitching,pitching is the answer not getting rid of there best hitter is the answer.

"Short Meditation on White Tara Called 'The Stream of Nectar'"This short Arya Tara sadhana was written by Vajradhrik Konchog Trinlay Sangpo in the Padma Woe (Lotus Light) palace at the request of Ven. Namdak Dorje.In this practice one visualizes one's essential nature in the form of White Tara and recites her mantra. White Tara is associated with healing and long life, and by practicing White Tara one can attain health and longevity as well as the ultimate attainment, Buddhahood. Tara is the basis of the manifestation of all female deities, and she vowed to attain enlightenment in female form and continuously manifest to protect beings from fears of cyclic existence. Just hearing her name with devotion frees one from the eight or sixteen fears. Practicing her meditation and reciting her mantras dispels all obstacles. One will be born in Dewachen, the blissful pure land of Buddha Amitabha.
At the end of this sadhana is a "Supplication Prayer to Tara, the Seven Protectors." The description reads, "Once when Lord Jigten Sumgon was staying at Echung cave having attained Buddhahood, he had a vision of the seven Taras. At that time he made this supplication prayer. This prayer has manifold magnificent blessings."
Now the practice comes with meditation instructions by the translator, Khenchen Konchog Gyaltshen Rinpoche.
18 pages.Also available through the webstore is a practice CD for this sadhana, with His Eminence Garchen Rinpoche, Venerable Traga Rinpoche, Lama Thubten Nyima, Lama Tsegyam, and the Garchen Sangha.

Background The Secretary has rescinded the authority previously delegated to the Federal Highway Administration to perform motor carrier functions and operations. This authority has been redelegated to the Director, Office of Motor Carrier Safety (OMCS), a new office within the Department of Transportation (64 FR 56270, October 19, 1999). This explains the docket transfer. The new OMCS assumes the motor carrier functions previously performed by the FHWA's Office of Motor Carrier and Highway Safety (OMCHS). Ongoing rulemaking, enforcement, and other activities of the OMCHS, initiated while part of the FHWA, will be continued by the OMCS. The redelegation will cause no changes in the motor carrier functions and operations of the offices or resource centers. Thirty-three individuals petitioned the FHWA for an exemption of the vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers of commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate commerce. The OMCS is now responsible for processing the vision exemption applications of the 33 drivers. They are Terry James Aldridge, Jerry D. Bridges, Michael L. Brown, Duane D. Burger, Charlie Frank Cook, Greg L. Dinsmore, Donald D. Dunphy, Ralph E. Eckels, Jerald C. Eyre, Russell W. Foster, Arnold D. Gosser, Eddie Gowens, Gary R. Gutschow, Richard J. Hanna, Jack L. Henson, Richard K. Jensrud, David R. Jesmain, Albert E. Malley, Clifford E. Masink, Tyrone O. Mayson, Rodney M. Mimbs, Charles E. O'Dell, Richard W. O'Neill, Jerry L. Reese, Frances C. Ruble, Johnny L. Stiff, Robert J. Townsley, Thomas R. Trumpeter, Steven M. Veloz, Thomas E. Walsh, James T. White, Harry Ray Littlejohn, and Mark K. Cheely. Under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), the OMCS (and previously the FHWA) may grant an exemption for a renewable 2-year period if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such exemption.'' Accordingly, the OMCS evaluated the petitions on their merits and made a preliminary determination that the waivers should be granted. On July 26, 1999, the agency published notice of its preliminary determination and requested comments from the public (64 FR 40404). The comment period closed on August 25, 1999. Three comments were received, and their contents were carefully considered by the OMCS in reaching the final decision to grant the petitions. Vision And Driving Experience of the Applicants The vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) provides: A person is physically qualified to drive a commercial motor vehicle if that person has distant visual acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of at least 20/40 (Snellen) in both eyes with or without corrective lenses, field of vision of at least 70 deg. in the horizontal meridian in each eye, and the ability to recognize the colors of traffic signals and devices showing standard red, green, and amber. Since 1992, the FHWA has undertaken studies to determine if this vision standard should be amended. The final report from our medical panel recommends changing the field of vision standard from 70 deg. to 120 deg., while leaving the visual acuity standard unchanged. (See Frank C. Berson, M.D., Mark C. Kuperwaser, M.D., Lloyd Paul Aiello, M.D., and James W. Rosenberg, M.D., ``Visual Requirements and Commercial Drivers,'' October 16, 1998, filed in the docket). The panel's conclusion supports the OMCS' (and previously the FHWA's) view that the present standard is reasonable and necessary as a general standard to ensure highway safety. The OMCS also recognizes that some drivers do not meet the vision standard but have adapted their driving to accommodate their vision limitation and demonstrated their ability to drive safely. The 33 applicants fall into this category. They are unable to meet the vision standard in one eye for various reasons, including amblyopia, retinal detachment, macular defect, and loss of an eye due to trauma. In most cases, their eye conditions were not recently developed. All but seven applicants were either born with their vision impairments or have had them since childhood. The seven individuals who sustained their vision conditions as adults have had them for periods ranging from 5 to 34 years. Although each applicant has one eye which does not meet the vision standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), each has at least 20/40 corrected vision in the other eye and, in a doctor's opinion, can perform all the tasks necessary to operate a CMV. The doctors' opinions are supported by the applicants' possession of a valid commercial driver's license (CDL). Before issuing a CDL, States subject drivers to knowledge and performance tests designed to evaluate their qualifications to operate the CMV. All these applicants satisfied the testing standards for their State of residence. By meeting State licensing requirements, the applicants demonstrated their ability to operate a commercial vehicle, with their limited vision, to the satisfaction of the State. The Federal interstate qualification standards, however, require more. While possessing a valid CDL, these 33 drivers have been authorized to drive a CMV in intrastate commerce even though their vision disqualifies them from driving in interstate commerce. They have driven CMVs with their limited vision for careers ranging from [[Page 66963]] 4 to 45 years. In the past 3 years, the 33 drivers had only one conviction for a traffic violation among them and that was a non-moving offense. Five drivers were involved in accidents in their CMVs, but there were no injuries and only one of the CMV drivers received a citation which was later dismissed under local authority. The qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each applicant were stated and discussed in detail in a July 26, 1999, notice (64 FR 40404). Since the docket comments did not focus on the specific merits or qualifications of any applicant, we have not repeated the individual profiles here. Our summary analysis of the applicants as a group, however, is supported by the information published at 64 FR 40404. Basis for Exemption Determination Under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), the OMCS may grant an exemption from the vision standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) if the exemption is likely to achieve an equivalent or greater level of safety than would be achieved without the exemption. Without the exemption, applicants will continue to be restricted to intrastate driving. With the exemption, applicants can drive in interstate commerce. Thus, our analysis focuses on whether an equal or greater level of safety is likely to be achieved by permitting these drivers to drive in interstate commerce as opposed to restricting them to driving in intrastate commerce. To evaluate the effect of these exemptions on safety, the OMCS considered not only the medical reports about the applicants' vision but also their driving records and experience with the vision deficiency. Recent driving performance is especially important in evaluating future safety according to several research studies designed to correlate past and future driving performance. Results of these studies support the principle that the best predictor of future performance by a driver is his/her past record of accidents and traffic violations. Copies of the studies have been added to the docket. We believe we can properly apply the principle to monocular drivers because data from the vision waiver program clearly demonstrate the driving performance of experienced monocular drivers in the program is better than that of all CMV drivers collectively. (See 61 FR 13338, 13345, March 26, 1996). That experienced monocular drivers with good driving records in the waiver program demonstrated their ability to drive safely supports a conclusion that other monocular drivers, meeting the same qualifying conditions to those required by the waiver program, are also likely to have adapted to their vision deficiency and will continue to operate safely. The first major research correlating past and future performance was done in England by Greenwood and Yule in 1920. Subsequent studies, building on that model, concluded that accident rates for the same individual exposed to certain risks for two different time periods vary only slightly. (See Bates and Neyman, University of California Publications in Statistics, April 1952.) Other studies demonstrated theories of predicting accident proneness from accident history coupled with other factors. These factors, such as age, sex, geographic location, mileage driven and conviction history, are used every day by insurance companies and motor vehicle bureaus to predict the probability of an individual experiencing future accidents. (See Weber, Donald C., ``Accident Rate Potential: An Application of Multiple Regression Analysis of a Poisson Process,'' Journal of American Statistical Association, June 1971). A 1964 California Driver Record Study prepared by the California Department of Motor Vehicles concluded that the best overall accident predictor for both concurrent and nonconcurrent events is the number of single convictions. This study used 3 consecutive years of data, comparing the experiences of drivers in the first 2 years with their experiences in the final year. Applying principles from these studies to the past 3-year record of the 33 applicants, we note that cumulatively the applicants have had only six accidents and one non-moving traffic violation in the last 3 years. None of the violations involved a serious traffic violation as defined in 49 CFR 383.5, and neither of the accidents resulted in bodily injury. In one of the accidents, a citation was issued, but was later dismissed under local authority. The applicants achieved this record of safety while driving with their vision impairment, demonstrating the likelihood that they have adapted their driving skills to accommodate their condition. As the applicants' ample driving histories with their vision deficiencies are good predictors of future performance, the OMCS concludes their ability to drive safely can be projected into the future. We believe applicants' intrastate driving experience provides an adequate basis for predicting their ability to drive safely in interstate commerce. Intrastate driving, like interstate operations, involves substantial driving on highways on the interstate system and on other roads built to interstate standards. Moreover, driving in congested urban areas exposes the driver to more pedestrian and vehicular traffic than exist on interstate highways. Faster reaction to traffic and traffic signals is generally required because distances are more compact than on highways. These conditions tax visual capacity and driver response just as intensely as interstate driving conditions. The veteran drivers in this proceeding have operated CMVs safely under those conditions for at least 4 years, most for much longer. Their experience and driving records lead us to believe that each applicant is capable of operating in interstate commerce as safely as he or she has been performing in intrastate commerce. Consequently, the OMCS finds that exempting applicants from the vision standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the exemption. For this reason, the agency will grant the exemptions for the 2-year period allowed by 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e). We recognize that the vision of an applicant may change and affect his/her ability to operate a commercial vehicle as safely as in the past. As a condition of the exemption, therefore, the OMCS will impose requirements on the 33 individuals consistent with the grandfathering provisions applied to drivers who participated in the agency's vision waiver program. Those requirements are found at 49 CFR 391.64(b) and include the following: (1) That each individual be physically examined every year (a) By an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the better eye continues to meet the standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and (b) By a medical examiner who attests that the individual is otherwise physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) That each individual provide a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the medical examiner at the time of the annual medical examination; and (3) That each individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification to the employer for retention in its driver qualification file, or keep a copy in his/her driver qualification file if he/she is self-employed. The driver must also have a copy of the certification when driving so it may be presented to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement official. Discussion of Comments The OMCS received three comments in this proceeding. Each comment was considered and is discussed below. [[Page 66964]] The wife of a Florida truck driver supports a change to the Federal vision requirements for operating CMVs in interstate commerce citing the economic hardship imposed on her family because her husband is restricted to driving only in Florida. In support of her position, she cites her husband's good driving record and suggests that his vision problem has made him a more vigilant driver. As stated above, the OMCS believes that the present standard is reasonable and necessary as a general standard to ensure highway safety. The OMCS recognizes, however, that some drivers who do not meet the vision standard have adapted their driving to accommodate their vision limitation and demonstrated their ability to drive safely and therefore, supports the granting of individual exemptions from 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) on a case- by-case evaluation. In another comment, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety (AHAS) expresses continued opposition to the FHWA's policy to grant exemptions from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) including the driver qualification standards. Specifically, the AHAS: (1) Asks the agency to clarify the consistency of the exemption application information provided at 64 FR 40404, (2) Objects to the agency's reliance on conclusions drawn from the vision waiver program, (3) Suggests that the criteria used by the FHWA for considering exemptions is flawed, (4) Raises procedural objections to this proceeding, (5) Claims the agency has misinterpreted statutory language on the granting of exemptions (49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e)), and finally, (6) Suggests that a recent Supreme Court decision affects the legal validity of vision exemptions. On the first issue regarding clarification of exemption application information, the AHAS points to what it sees as ``inconsistencies and differences in the types of information'' provided in individual applications. The AHAS questions why the FHWA omitted information on mileage driven for 11 of the 33 applicants, total years of experience for applicant 32 (Harry Ray Littlejohn), and the vision in the better eye for applicant 3 (Michael L. Brown). In the case of applicant 3, the agency inadvertently left out the information on the vision in the better eye which was 20/30 with correction. Otherwise, this difference in the presentation of information simply reflects the OMCS' case-by- case assessments of individual applications. Total mileage driven was provided as an indicator of overall CMV experience. The omission of total mileage information for 11 of the 33 applicants is not significant since all 33 applicants have 3 years of experience operating a CMV with their vision deficiency in a period recent enough for the OMCS to verify their safety records. Applicant 32, whose application information on total years of experience was left out, has 27 years experience operating a CMV. Other apparent inconsistencies identified by the AHAS, such as, the use of different terminology describing the driving records of applicants, reflects the agency's case-by-case assessments of individual applications as to whether there were any accidents or traffic violations in CMV in the past 3 years. Regardless of how the agency states this information--that is, in a CMV, in any vehicle or no accidents or violations, it indicates that the applicant has not had an accident or traffic violation in a CMV in the last 3 years. The use of different terminology is not, as the AHAS suggests, an attempt by the OMCS to manipulate information in such a way as to ``put the best possible appearance on each petition for exemption.'' Specific information provided on the 6 accidents and one non-moving violation of the 33 applicants is a presentation of the facts as we know them and not any attempt to downplay or explain away accidents and citations as the AHAS suggests. Regarding applicant 16 (Richard K. Jensrud) who was initially cited for an accident which was later dismissed under local authority, the FHWA is not questioning the judgment of the police officer at the scene of the accident or the validity of the citation, as AHAS suggests, but merely reporting the facts of the case. Furthermore, information presented indicating that applicant 16 drove 1.8 million miles in 6 years is an error. The information at 64 FR 40404 should have indicated that this applicant drove 50,000 per year for a total of 300,000 miles. The second issue raised by the AHAS, which questions the agency's reliance on conclusions drawn from the vision waiver program, was addressed at length in the agency's final decision to exempt 32 individuals from the vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). (64 FR 51568, September 23, 1999) In that notice, the FHWA's position, based on various assessments of external and internal validity, was that the results generated by the waiver program have a high degree of validity and therefore, support inferences drawn from the results of the waiver program. The notice also clarifies that the target of inference in the waiver program was the process of granting waivers, and that if the inferences drawn from these results focus on the process tested, the conclusions are valid. Thus, the application of the waiver program to future screening is also justified. In its third point, the AHAS contends that the criteria used by us for considering exemptions is flawed because the exemption criteria includes consideration of an applicant's driving history for a three- year period and disregards FMCSRs which would require reliance upon a ten-year driving history. The AHAS believes that drivers exempted from the Federal vision standard are ``also exempted from reporting convictions for disqualifying offenses that took place more than 3 years prior to the application.'' As the agency has already discussed at 64 FR 51568, there is no basis for that belief. The exemption granted to these applicants applies only to the qualification standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The exempted drivers are subject to all other regulations including all the CDL and other qualification standards. In its fourth point, the AHAS raises procedural objections to this proceeding, claiming that there is no statutory basis for making a preliminary determination which tends to pre-judge the outcome. We believe, as previously stated at 64 FR 51568, that its preliminary determination is analogous to a notice of proposed rulemaking, where the agency evaluates the basis for new or amended regulation and then proposes that new rule. Under the agency's vision exemption process, completed applications are evaluated and only when the agency proposes to grant a petition is the proposal and the analysis in support of the application published for public comment. More that 170 applications have been denied outright. Denials will be summarized periodically and published in the Federal Register, consistent with 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e). In its fifth point, the AHAS argues that the agency has misinterpreted statutory language on the granting of exemptions (49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e)) by considering them slightly more lenient than the previous law. As previously stated in 64 FR 51568, this was unquestionably the intention of Congress in drafting section 4007 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21), Public Law 105-178, 112 Stat.107, (See 63 FR 67601, quoting from H.R. Conf. Rep. No. 105-550, at 489-490). The AHAS' final point suggesting that the recent Supreme Court decision, Albertsons, Inc. v. Kirkingburg, 119 S.Ct. 2162 (June 22, 1999) affects the legal validity of vision exemptions is without [[Page 66965]] support. This case is significant because of the Court's treatment of various provisions of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.), and the fact that this decision significantly narrows application of the ADA. In this case, Mr. Kirkingburg was fired by his employer, Albertsons, after a re- examination in 1992 determined that he did not meet the Federal vision requirements. Mr. Kirkingburg obtained a waiver of the vision standard from the FHWA in 1993, which allowed him to operate a CMV in interstate commerce. However, Albertsons would not rehire him because it did not view the vision waiver as a substitute for the vision standard. Mr. Kirkingburg sued Albertsons claiming his firing violated the ADA. Since the ADA does not apply to the Federal regulations, the decision did not directly affect the agency's motor carrier safety program. Under the court's ruling, a motor carrier may require that its drivers meet all physical qualification requirements in 49 CFR 391 as a condition of employment. The employer is not required to accept an OMCS exemption as a substitute for compliance with a physical qualification standard. This finding is consistent with 49 CFR 390.3(d) of the FMCSRs which allows carriers to establish more stringent safety requirements. As a result, the OMCS will continue to issue exemptions from the vision standard to drivers who demonstrate an ability to drive safely with their vision condition. However, after making that safety determination, the OMCS has no power to require motor carriers to hire drivers with vision exemptions. In its comments, the American Trucking Associations, Inc. (ATA) opposes the agency's preliminary determination to grant these 33 exemptions. The ATA states that its opposition has been continuous and cites written comments to the docket in support of its position. Although the ATA expressed opposition to the broad issuance of vision waivers in its comments to the FHWA docket MC-96-2 (61 FR 13338, March 26, 1996), the ATA stated, ``it would support a case-by-case evaluation that considered the merits of individual waived drivers.'' That is precisely what the agency has done in the case of these 33 applicants for exemptions from 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The previous discussion explains that the agency's preliminary determination that these individuals have demonstrated an ability to drive safely with their vision deficiency is based on a case-by-case evaluation of the merits of each applicant. Current medical reports about each applicant's vision, driving records and experience have been evaluated for each applicant. Notwithstanding its opposition to the granting of vision exemptions, the ATA recommends that if the agency decides to exempt drivers from the vision requirements that it require exempted drivers to have ``annual medical examinations and annual vision checks by an optometrist or ophthalmologist.'' The previous discussion states specifically that, as a condition of the exemption, a driver must be examined every year by an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the better eye continues to meet the standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is otherwise physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41. The ATA further recommends, in the case of recordable accident involvement, that exempted drivers report such involvement directly to the agency and undergo a medical examination prior to returning to driving a CMV. Although the OMCS does not require the reporting of accidents by exempted drivers, it does monitor the performance of these drivers through periodic checks of their motor vehicle records and, if necessary, can take action relative to a particular accident. Regarding a post-accident medical examination, current regulations, specifically 49 CFR 391.45(c), already require drivers operating in interstate commerce, including these exempted drivers, to be medically examined and certified as qualified to operate a CMV any time their ability to perform their duties is impaired by a physical or mental condition. In its final comment, the ATA recommends that the agency ``clarify its predominance over the Americans with Disabilities Act as it applies to safety-sensitive jobs and tasks by: (1) Issuing a notice in (the) Federal Register summarizing the aforementioned Supreme Court case (Albertsons, Inc. v. Kirkingburg, 119 S.Ct. 2162 (June 22, 1999)), as it applies to FHWA's vision waiver/exemption program; and (2) amending 49 CFR 391.64 to clarify that a employer still retains the right to consider a driver who fails FHWA's vision requirements, as medically unqualified to operate a CMV in interstate commerce.'' As previously discussed, the decision in Albertsons, Inc. v. Kirkingburg significantly narrows the application of the ADA. Since the ADA does not apply to the FMCSRs, this decision does not affect the OMCS' motor carrier safety programs, including its process for granting vision exemptions. Moreover, the agency does not require employers to incorporate the exemptions in their employment practices. In fact, current regulations allow employers to establish more stringent safety requirements than those of the agency (49 CFR 390.3(d)), making an amendment to 49 CFR 391.64, as ATA suggests, unnecessary. Notwithstanding the OMCS' ongoing review of the vision standard, as evidenced by the medical panel's report dated October 16, 1998, and filed in this docket, the OMCS must comply with Rauenhorst v. United States Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, 95 F.3d 715 (8th Cir. 1996), and grant individual exemptions under standards that are consistent with public safety. Meeting those standards, the 33 veteran drivers in this case have demonstrated to our satisfaction that they can continue to operate a CMV with their current vision safely in interstate commerce because they have demonstrated their ability in intrastate commerce. Accordingly, they qualify for an exemption under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e). Conclusion After considering the comments to the docket and based upon its evaluation of the 33 waiver applications in accordance with Rauenhorst v. United States Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration, supra, the OMCS exempts Terry James Aldridge, Jerry D. Bridges, Michael L. Brown, Duane D. Burger, Charlie Frank Cook, Greg L. Dinsmore, Donald D. Dunphy, Ralph E. Eckels, Jerald C. Eyre, Russell W. Foster, Arnold D. Gosser, Eddie Gowens, Gary R. Gutschow, Richard J. Hanna, Jack L. Henson, Richard K. Jensrud, David R. Jesmain, Albert E. Malley, Clifford E. Masink, Tyrone O. Mayson, Rodney M. Mimbs, Charles E. O'Dell, Richard W. O'Neill, Jerry L. Reese, Frances C. Ruble, Johnny L. Stiff, Robert J. Townsley, Thomas R. Trumpeter, Steven M. Veloz, Thomas E. Walsh, James T. White, Harry Ray Littlejohn, and Mark K. Cheely from the vision requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), subject to the following conditions: (1) That each individual be physically examined every year (a) By an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the better eye continues to meet the standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and (b) By a medical examiner who attests that the individual is otherwise physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) That each individual provide a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the medical examiner at the time of the annual [[Page 66966]] medical examination; and (3) That each individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification to the employer for retention in its driver qualification file, or keep a copy in his/her driver qualification file if he/she is self-employed. The driver must also have a copy of the certification when driving so it may be presented to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement official. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), each exemption will be valid for 2 years unless revoked earlier by the OMCS. The exemption will be revoked if (1) the person fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136. If the exemption is still effective at the end of the 2-year period, the person may apply to the OMCS for a renewal under procedures in effect at that time. Authority: 49 U.S.C. 322, 31315 and 31136; 49 CFR 1.73. Julie Anna Cirillo, Acting Director, Office of Motor Carrier Safety. [FR Doc. 99-31062 Filed 11-29-99; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-22-P

ATROCITIES OF WAR TOLD BY RESERVIST (Continued from page 1) and chUdren in the party, each and every one of which had nothing but praise to aay of the omcera and men of tne U. S. S. Tennessee which on September the 3rd had taken tbem trom France, where they were strand¬ ed, to tne country that had at leaat banking faclUtiea. In Kngland, in the city o( London, I was tumisbed with a passport and money to continue my journey home oy tbe American Residents' Commlt- lee. Nothing but praise sbould be giv¬ en tbese people wno have served tnelr leilow citizens, and aome who were aot citizena, aa they had never been served before or will be again. The English mind may be slow to act, but once started you can say tbat It is spontaneous. Tbe population nave given one hundred thousand ot Its young blood, meu between nine¬ teen ,and thlrty-flve years of age, to man or make up England's second army. It will take three months to make tbese men fit, but at the expira- lion of tbat time, tbey can stand In ane and hear tbeir general or colonel say, "England expects every man to do hia duty." Tbe diHerence between the French and English soldier, in bis equipmeni IS very marked. France baa her men in blue coats, overcoats you may say, red trowsers and red caps. In march- mg order tbey carry a leather knap¬ sack that may weigh ten pounda. The iiinglisb on tbe other band are dressed lO kaki cloth, same as tbe U. S. troops ivear. Their marching accoutraments are of light canvas. Tbeir legs are incased in putees, a strong cloth >vouod around tbe leg from the ankle ap. Race horses have something sim¬ ilar. It is said tbat on long marches putees afford much relief. As to arms I can say nothing. The ij'rench Light Artillery is considerea second to none and the Englisn is giv- it a close run. The Germans should oe the best judge ot their power." WELL KNOWN AUTHORIH ON HOW TO CAN EDIBLES L. BARKER, 88 North Main street, oppslte Randall avenue, pbone 160-J; establish 1907.

((k>ntinued on column S) Prepares Intructions For Aide of House Wives Worthy of Consid-^ eration A well known authority in New York City has prepared and issued the following suggestions relative to tbe canning of edibles worthy of the consideration of every resident of Nas- dau county. Friuts and vegetables are plenti¬ ful. The price of sugar has risen. Fruits can be canned without sugar. Use quart glass Jars with tin tops, costing about 52 cents a dozen. Have new rubber rings. Fill jars with wa¬ ter, put on rings and covers and turn them upside down. If they leak they are not airtight. If air gets In, con¬ tents will not keep. Wash pars. Wash fruit. Pare peaches and pears. Can wbole or cut in halves. Pack In jars. Put a cloth In tbe bottom of a large kettle, stand tbe jars on the cloth and flll tbe Jars to the top with cold water. Put on the rings and place covers on and fasten about half way. Pour cold wa ter into kettle, enough to come very near tbe top of Jars. Cover the ket¬ tle and bring slowly to boiling. Boil until fruit is cooked through from thirty to forty-flve minutes. Hard fruit will require more tinif. Have only enough Wre to keep the water boiling gently. More than this is a waste of either coal or gas, and the rapid boiling is likely to crack the Jars. When done, remove from tbe boiling water and fasten covers very tightly at once, without having taken covers off. This is important, for no air should enter Jars after boil¬ ing begins. A wa'jh boiler or two dish pans (one to be used as a cover) make a good kettle for this kind of canning. This method applies to plums and to¬ matoes, which are now plentiful and cheap. Vegetables may be canned by tbe same process, a little salt being added to each Jar. Cook tomatoes flfteen to twenty minutes. Beans and otber hard vegetables one and a half hours or more. To Orunize a Weekly Bible Claas On Thursday the Rev. A. H. Rennie, pastor of the Rockville Centre Pres¬ byterian Church, will organize a week¬ ly Bible class at his church, which win discuss each week topics of gen¬ eral religious interest. At the flrst meeting members will talk on the fol¬ lowing themes: 'Where Does tbe World Stand in Its History to the Present Age? Wbat Relation Haa the Preaent War In Eu¬ rope to the Second Coming of Christ? What la Meant by the New Heaven and tbe New Earth? What Salth tbe Scrlptorea: A Welcome for all Be- Ilevera Who Walt for the 'Prince of Peace.'" (Contmued from column i) JOHN SCHREIBER 47 Railroad ave¬ nue, phone 368-W.

In this issue we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the founding of the PAWS Wildlife Center. Since that wonderful beginning in 1981, we have grown from helping 600 animals our first year to helping more than 6000 last year. And in that two decades, while the intent—offering care for injured and orphaned wildlife—has stayed the same, the work itself, and its context, has changed significantly. Wildlife rehabilitation used to be an avocation, or calling, carried out by well-meaning people with very limited resources, usually working out of their homes, often unconnected to sources of information and support. Today, it is a growing profession, working closely with state and federal agencies and in partnerships with other organizations, and a respected part of mainstream efforts to understand and help wildlife. Perhaps the biggest area of change has been in education, as rehabilitators increasingly understand the importance of changing how people live with and experience wildlife in their everyday lives. Today, we are reaching out to the general public to increase their awareness and understanding of wildlife. And rehabilitators don't just help individual animals in need; they help other people working with wildlife. Our staff are actively involved in teaching rehabilitation and wildlife veterinary medicine across North America through lectures, presentations, publications, courses and consulting. Today, wildlife rehabilitation has two national professional associations, annual symposia and conferences, published journals and proceedings, a manual of principles and a set of standards for care. This year will see the formation of a state wildlife rehabilitation network in Washington. And we continue to improve diets, caging, and veterinary and rehabilitation care. Wildlife rehabilitation is still, at its most fundamental level, about connectedness, about compassion, about understanding how everything we do affects other living things. It is about our being part of nature, not apart from the natural world in which we live and from which we draw our very sustenance and breath. It is learning about shared lives, a process that informs us, enlightens us, and can delight and transport us.
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time."
T.S. Elliot

Director, PAWS Wildlife Department
