I must note that the side effects have been mild for me, and include some irritability and increased anxiety. But I am already starting to feel slightly better and more at ease with myself. I've been reading that the increased anxiety is a temporary side effect and will dissipate over time. This is great news and I am really looking forward to getting th rough this first month so I can update my review. Hope this helps u guys.

Property sales falls 20 pct in first two months.Lebanon Lebanon, country, Asia
Lebanon (lĕb`ənən, –nŏn'), officially Republic of Lebanon, republic (2005 est. pop. 3,826,000), 4,015 sq mi (10,400 sq km), SW Asia. fell 20 percent in the 1st two months of 2012, but prices remain stable, said the head of the real estate contractors association.
BEIRUT Beirut (bārt`), Arab. Bayrut, Fr. Beyrouth, city (1996 est. pop. 1,200,000), W Lebanon, capital of Lebanon, on the Mediterranean Sea, at the foot of the Lebanon Mts. : Demand for properties in Lebanon fell 20 percent in the first two months of 2012, but prices remain stable, said the head of the real estate contractors association.

2. have taken their toll on the real estate sector and this also scared away investors and buyers," Elie Sawma told the Central News Agency.
Sawma noted that Lebanese expatriates are increasingly opting to buy apartments in buildings that are still under construction, which has apparently lowered demand for existing housing units.
He said lower demand has affected central areas in Beirut as buyers increasingly opt for cheaper apartments in the capital's suburbs, where facilitated housing loans cover the full price of an average apartment.
Real estate transactions decreased 45 percent in January from last December's levels but still registered a 17 percent increase in value compared to same time last year, Credit Libanais Bank reported last week.
On a year-to-year basis, the number of real estate transactions dropped by 1.19 percent from 5,452 in January 2011. The value of transactions, however, rose by 17.43 percent when compared to last January's $0.48 billion level.
But the report said the number of transactions fell to 5,387 in February, down from 9,777 reached in December 2011.
It noted that December's substantially higher number of transactions owes to investors' urge to finalize fi·nal·ize

The value of real estate transactions also fell astoundingly by 52.55 percent to $0.56 billion in January, down from $1.18 billion reached in December 2011.
Consequently, the average real estate transaction value came in 13.89 percent lower than December's reading of $121,171, and 18.85 percent higher than last January's $87,792 reading.
The report highlighted that the share of foreigners in real estate sales transactions fell by only 1.8 percent of total sales transactions in January 2012.

Yuri Gagarin lands at Royal Albert Hall
The Royal Albert Hall is hosting a Yuri Gagarin photo restrospective featuring "iconic and previously unseen images" from the collection of RIA Novosti. The Russian news agency has hooked up with Science Photo Library to offer Poyekhali! Yuri Gagarin and The Dawn of Space Exploration.* Science Photo Library's Gary Evans said: " …
Image doctoring
I will go and see this - will be interesting to see which versions of the images are displayed as for years many of these images were routinely doctored and retouched at the whim of the political climate of the time:
Just booked tickets for the talk.
You might have thought that the British Council could get the measurement done in a relevant way: the Russians (like the rest of the world) measure stuff in metres. So it's a 3.6m statue - probably designed to be 4m overall when on its plinth.
Gagarin, bollocks of steel
I've also found the whole Lunokhod stuff cool
Didn't help him when it mattered, tho
If he hadn't crashed that fighter jet while pi$$ed he might still be around to day.
I'm not aware of any definitive conclusion as to why he crashed. Not sure making unproven allegations he was drunk are helpful.
I have a Russian poster of Gagarin on the wall above the PC in my "office" (spare room). Inspiration from the days when humans just went out and did stuff - and sod the risks.
Very excited
Tomorrow morning I'm off to Jurby (a tiny little village on the Isle of Man) to see two spare modules from the Mir Space station (spares that were never used, obviously) along with a re-usable capsule. I'm going under the pretence of taking my son who is hugely into everything space but I am WAAAAYYYYY more excited than he is.
They are the ones some company hopes to put into orbit as a Space Hotel (charging $35 Million) and they are opening the place up and running (free) guided tours for one day only. Can't wait.
Sod Duke Nukem
...pussy compared to this guy.
Gagarins return to Earth
> Following his 108-minute flight, Gagarin returned to Earth in Russia's central Saratov region, to be met by amazed farm workers. He told the welcoming committee ..
The flight wasn't without incident. On reentry the equipment module failed to seperate from the reentry capsule module as the umbilical didn't disconnect cleanly. The cord eventually burned through and the modules then separated. Gagarin then had to exit the capsule at about five miles up and parachute to ground.
Technically *not* the first spaceman
The parachute descent meant that the trip should have been disqualified under FAI rules, which required the pilot to land with his craft. The Soviets covered this up for years, including forcing Gagarin to lie in press conferences.
He was a bloody brave guy though.
Technicalities, Technicalities
I understand the arguement, but you are right. Brave Guy.
He was my childhood hero, and I can't see a picture of him now without smiling.
Can we please stop assuming that all everything in USSR was covered up? Rather annoying. It's not like west is shining at advertising truth to the masses...
And the FAI rules is the daftest thing so far...It's like dissqualifying an athelte for making a world record in a wrong coloured underwear, ffs....
To adapt an old saying about landings, any re-entry you walk away from is a good re-entry.

There's nothing in this piece that supports your claim about Ellison setting any price to be heard by him.
As you typically do, you're just throwing something, hoping you can smear him with it.
From what I've read elsewhere, your description of the tax deductability is simplified. That 65% is based on the average health insurance plan cost. So if your employer provides a more expensive than average plan, you will be paying taxes on significantly more.
Mark Shields made the point last night that you have to back to Grover Cleveland to find a President that has issued fewer executive orders.
health insurance premiums have been rising for years. In fact, I can't recall a year when my employer announced that the cost of our insurance plan had decreased.
Why, all of a sudden is this solely the result of the ACA?
Of course, I don't think may people would consider corporate holiday parties to be a "public benefit" let alone a performing arts center envisioned under the terms of the grant or lease.
No mention of the fact that Republicans obstructed and blocked building of the exchange for years, leaving mere months to build, and launch a complex system?
If you tussle with Mr Tester long enough, you'll discover that the only reality he acknowledges is his own experience.
But the Duke Ellington Orchestra is alive, well, and continues to tour.
Ryback said Minneapolis didn't need a referendum on the stadium before hand, because this election would be the referendum. How else were Minneapolis residents supposed to register their disapproval? Perhaps next time a subsidy like this comes up, the Council will follow the law, or, at least listen to their constituents.
It's pretty much a given that other business subsidies will be coming before the council in the future.
If you're going to throw the caution flag for PPP's alleged political bias, you should also note that in 2012, they were one of the most accurate polling outfits.

Eyeglasses "Made in USA" are hard to find. Buying "Made in USA" eyewear means more jobs for Americans. The eyewear industry has long been dominated by European (Italy, France and Germany) eyeglasses factories. In recent years, much of the world's eyeglasses production has moved to China. But there are a few companies that make eyeglasses in the USA. Shuron has been making glasses in the USA since 1865, all at their own factory. In this category, we have chosen some of the best selling Shuron frames, as well as some other eyeglasses we have found that are also Made in USA.

Envivio adds MPEG-DASH support
Written by Goran Nastic
Envivio has said it is now able to offer support for the new MPEG-DASH streaming standard and also full HD support for Apple's latest iPad and Apple TV products.
The company is a member of the MPEG Standards Committee and MPEG-DASH Promoters Group and will be presenting a technology demonstration of the adaptive bitrate technology at the IP&TV World Forum next week. The idea behind the standard is to define a universal delivery format for internet, based on the 'best elements' of proprietary streaming technologies such as Adobe Dynamic Streaming for Flash, Apple HTTP Adaptive Streaming and Microsoft Smooth Streaming.
Envivio customers are now able to purchase a licence upgrade to upgrade their headends to support the new formats.
MPEG-DASH, ratified in November 2011, has already adopted by a number of European hybrid platforms, including the UK's Freeview HD and the French next-generation DTT TNT 2.0. A new lobby group - DASH Promoters Group (DASH-PG) - has since been created to drive more widespread adoption of the standard (see the January-February edition of CSI for more information on MEG-DASH).

This is more of a tip than ask for help.
I spent four hours yesterday trying to figure out why I couldn't add a new server to the domain. After wrestling with dns and tcp-settings the penny dropped...the only change made since previously adding machines to the domain was turning on the window's firewall.
Even though I am following the advice given in the kb article below I am still having problems when the firewall is running. I will have to continue to look into port exceptions for 2003.
I am also left wondering if part of my problem is adding server roles before turning the firewall on. Should the exceptions be added automatically i.e. when you add AD with dns, or are they always added manually.
Hopefully, this saves someone a few hours :-)

To Philippe Petit
Another Icarus
But this one has friends and a sweet girl
Willing to plan with him
The father is not onscreen yet
And yet, he can't be too far off:
The garden, for instance, who paid?
The dentist bill?
The girl not so much accomplice
As companion on his way.
The thief.

Veteran X-Men Wolverine and Storm shared a kiss — followed by an ecstatic, hilarious reaction by franchise star Halle Berry — in what's either a deleted scene, or a blooper, or both from this summer's blockbuster X-Men: Days of Future Past.
This isn't the first time the pair have kissed, of course — not by a long shot. In fact, just last night an image from Brian Michael Bendis and Sara Pichelli's X-Men run was released, showing a number of X-Men characters kissing, including Wolverine and Stor

Indeed, industry observers agree that the publicly quoted House of Fraser will likely be next on investors' lists, and may well be the target of a management buyout. "There's room to expand that business, and management would probably love to do it without interference from the financial world," said Maureen Hinton, a senior retail analyst at Verdict Research, a consultancy based here. And Weston already has at least a partial link to House of Fraser — Andrew Jennings, chief executive of Holt Renfrew, once ran the 53-store U.K. chain, which had sales last year of $1.55 billion.
So why all the interest in British department stores now? The simple answer appears to be return on investment. "Selfridges is a very profitable business right now," said Whitefield of Management Horizons. "If Weston had put his millions in the bank, he'd be getting a 6 percent return on it. At Selfridges, he'll get more than that."
Selfridges shares closed today at $6.40, up 11.95 percent from the previous day's close. Debenhams shares closed at $6.60, up 23.73 percent from the day before.

As you might have heard by now, Danny Meyers Mailalino opened last night, and Jazz in Strange Places was there to eat up what she says was the most flavorful veal i've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Also there last night, according to Jazz, was Dana Cowin, Ruth Reichl, and Anna Wintour. Reichl approved of her meal, judging by her tweet: Woke up thinking about Maialino rolls: rich little puffs of guanciale and pecorino. Utterly irresistible. Why didn't I bring some home? Kate Krader, Cowins colleague at Food & Wine also reported seeing Alain Ducasse and journalist Mark Halperin. Take a look at our slideshow to see the room celeb-free.

text: College Football Playoffs Will Not Have Corporate Title Sponsor Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 12 Mar 2013 post a comment The college football playoff system that will take place in 2014 will not be called the AT&T College Football Playoffs or the Samsung College Football Playoffs. When the college playoff system logo and name are revealed next month in Pasadena, California, they will not have a corporate title sponsor. The individual bowl games--such as the Rose Bowl, presented by Vizio and the Discover Orange Bowl--that will make up the playoffs will still have corporate title sponsors, but the playoff system as a whole will not. For instance, if the semifinal game is held at the Orange Bowl, Executive Director Bill Hancock said the game will be referred to as something along the lines of "The Football Tournament Semifinal at the Discover Orange Bowl." Hancock told ESPN on Tuesday, "The Final Four doesn't have one. The Masters doesn't. The Super Bowl. That's the kind of event we have."

Zach Braff will make his Broadway debut next year in a musical adaptation of Woody Allen's crime caper Bullets Over Broadway.
Bullets Over Broadway follows a struggling young playwright who is forced to cast a mobster's talentless girlfriend in his latest drama. Braff will play the hero.
Performances will start in 2014 at the St. James Theatre.
Trademark debated
Will.i.am says a trademark Pharrell's company tried to register is too similar to his I AM trademark.
Will.i.am has owned the I AM trademark since 2001. He filed oppositions in March and May against Pharrell's company, i am OTHER. It launched in 2010.
In a statement Thursday, will.i.am's attorney Ken Hertz says trademark lawyers for will.i.am and Pharrell discussed the matter for several months. He says because of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's deadlines, will.i.am had no choice but to lodge his objection at the time he did.
Today ratings up
Judging by the television ratings, one place where chef Paula Deen is welcome is on the Today show.
The NBC morning show beat its rivals at ABC's Good Morning America with a Thursday episode that featured Matt Lauer's interview with the celebrity chef. Deen is trying to keep her career cooking following admissions that she had used a racial slur.
The Nielsen company says that Today had just under 4.8 million viewers on Thursday, while GMA had 4.63 million. It was the first time Today had a bigger audience since November during the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
On average, the ABC show beat Today by 900,000 viewers a day last week.
Welk home for sale
The State Historical Society of North Dakota is considering buying the boyhood home of Lawrence Welk, though some worry the farmstead may not draw many tourists because most of the famed champagne music bandleader's fans have died or will do so soon.
So the organization proposes to use Welk's home in the tiny town of Strasburg to also highlight the importance of agriculture and the region's German-Russian heritage.
Even with the Welk legacy aside, it's history worth preserving, said Sen. Robert Erbele, R-Lehr.

I feel you. I'm so worried about it all this year. I never use to be. Now you just never know what your kid's reaction could be to H1N1 freaks me out more!!! I am 99.9% sure I'm not doing the shot. I just don't feel safe being tested on for the government! Hopefully everything is fine with it but what if it's not. And I probably will get the kids regular flu shot. They've done fine with it in the past. I just got mine few weeks ago. All was well.
So stressful!!!!

If my child had 38 vaccines by the time they were 18 months old, I would be worried too. But yours are older and likely only had half that many, or less. Plus, the older they are, the greater the chance they've recovered from the immune system damage caused by the vaccines. (Just my opinion.)
The pneumonia issue is scary but don't let the hype get to you, it is a lot of hype. The children who are dying are likely immune deficient in the first place, I've been searching for a swine-flu death of a never-vaccinated child but its difficult to get the vaccine-status info. Besides, I have yet to read a study that proves this new vaccine will work any better than the usual flu vaccines (let me know if you want studies). What I have read is regarding test subjects and their immunity was tested within days of the vaccine. I would like to see those same test subjects tested a few months later.

I agree its a personal decision that varies on your family's medical history and your personal propensity for either risk of a vaccine or risk from contracting an illness.
Everyone has to follow their own instinct!

The Effects of Horn Acoustic Center on Array Directivity
This paper presents the results to date of a study of acoustic centers of horns and their effects on array directivity. It explores whether acoustic center data can be used to improve the performance of array simulation software algorithms. Generally, these algorithms take into account the propagation length of horns and their geometric arrangement in an array but ignore how acoustic centers change with frequency.

Drafting conservation easements that are enforceable, achieve their conservation purpose and satisfy legal requirements for federal tax benefits is a challenging task to undertake. Choosing from among the many possible easement clauses can be confusing and knowing which ones are right for your land trust can be difficult. This webinar will help land trust personnel who negotiate and draft conservation easements address several key points in crafting an easement that will last in perpetuity, including:
This webinar will help participants distill key information about conservation easement drafting to enable them to craft documents that achieve their intended conservation goals.
Practices Covered: 9E Easement Drafting
Location: National Conservation Training Center
Host: Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania
Having a restoration plan in place prior to initiating an invasive plant management project is critical for success. Invasive plant removals are often followed by regrowth and re-infestation by targeted and other invasive species. Through case studies, we will explore varied approaches to habitat restoration of forests, wetlands, grasslands, meadows, and steep slopes in the mid-Atlantic region. Effective control tools and strategies from pathogenic fungi to prescribed fire will be discussed along with information on collecting, storing, and growing native plant seed and finding appropriate seed sources. Suggestions will be offered for ways to provide for pollinator needs and ecosystem services when developing a restoration plan. We will also present recent developments in online reporting and mapping tools.
Plenty of time will be available for questions, discussion, and networking with speakers and attendees. We invite you to join us for this 7th Mid-Atlantic Invasive Plant Council Conference. It will be an exciting and informative two-day meeting.

Land trusts are the only nonprofits that pledge to be here in perpetuity-a pledge that necessitates support over generations. But conservation has to be relevant and important on a personal level for people to support your land trust into the future. There is growing recognition that changing demographics, including an aging population of current conservation supporters, will mean that land trusts need to develop programming and projects (and ways to describe them) that resonate with new, younger, socio-economically diverse and changing communities.
In this webinar, you will learn how land trusts of various sizes and capacity are using community-based techniques to connect their mission and work with the interests and needs of new and existing supporters. We will discuss how this approach, when combined with upgraded outreach/communication techniques, has increased their membership support up to 70% over three years, broadened their conservation impact, and engaged new partners and people. The webinar will touch upon the communication upgrades that helped make this turn-around possible and encouraged longer-term support.]]>

The Land Trust for Tennessee
(615) 244-5263
CHATTANOOGA, TN -- The Land Trust for Tennessee announced today the protection of 324 acres of high conservation value forestland in the South Cumberland Plateau region of White and Van Buren Counties. The land – which contains over a mile of Bee Creek - is owned by Paul Putnam from Dalton, Georgia. The property is protected through a working forest conservation easement held by The Land Trust for Tennessee and will remain privately owned.
The property directly connects the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency's Bridgestone Firestone Centennial Wilderness to Bledsoe State Forest. The property also adjoins the Boy Scouts of America's Latimer High Adventure Reservation. These lands, together with Fall Creek Falls State Park and Virgin Falls State Natural Area, form over 55,000 contiguous acres of protected forestland.
"The Putnam property is such an important link between some of Tennessee's most prized recreational areas" said Jeanie Nelson, Executive Director of The Land Trust for Tennessee. "The knitting together of publicly and privately-protected lands is what makes Tennessee's landscape so unique."
"We are delighted that our neighbors believe as we do in preserving the wilderness areas of Tennessee for future generations to enjoy" said Hugh Travis, Scout Executive for the Boy Scouts of America's Middle Tennessee Council.
In addition to their exceptional biological diversity, these lands provide incomparable recreational opportunities while serving as an important resource for water quality protection and local forest products. More than one million people visit these lands annually, essential to the tourism industry in the South Cumberland region.
Protection of the Putnam property is especially important to maintaining the views from Bledsoe State Forest and Bridgestone Firestone Centennial Wilderness, and maintaining water quality in Bee Creek, a major tributary to the Caney Fork River. The property also provides an important forest buffer to an important cave system in the area.
"Having a tool like a conservation easement allows me to still be able to use and enjoy the property, while at the same time ensuring its long-term protection for generations to come" said Paul Putnam.
If property owners allow a conservation easement to be placed on all or some of their property, they could be eligible for a federal income tax deduction up to 50 percent of their adjusted gross income for up to 16 years. Farmers and ranchers can deduct up to 100 percent of their income. It expires at the end of this year and is available for any property owner.
The Land Trust for Tennessee is a private, not-for-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization, founded in 1999. Its mission is to preserve the unique character of Tennessee's natural and historic landscapes for future generations. To date, The Land Trust for Tennessee has protected 60,000 acres of land and is working with numerous other landowners across the state. The Land Trust works with willing landowners to find ways to preserve forever the historic, scenic and natural values of their land. The organization is supported primarily by financial contributions from individuals. The Land Trust has offices in Nashville, Sewanee, and Chattanooga.

Do you wish your nonprofit's board was more engaged and excited about fundraising? Are you trying to get your board to help you with development – without as much success as you had hoped? Would you like a clear plan for getting your board more involved with fundraising and helping them become more effective fundraisers?
If so, this webinar is for you!
Perpetuity. Community conservation. Relevance. What all of these fundamental concepts have in common is the importance of building and sustaining strategic relationships. Some land trusts are struggling with the "why" of community engagement, but more and more land trusts are focusing on the "how." How can our land trust build the community connections that will sustain us today, and well into the future? This webinar will look at the simple and more complex ways conservation groups can build long-lasting relationships with their community. It will define specific roles that board members, key volunteers, and staff can play in supporting these critical relationships. It will help groups start from where they are and move to a place of greater community connection, relevance and consistent support.]]>

Navigating one's role on a nonprofit board can be challenging. Unlike most other volunteer work, members of the board are directly responsible for the organization, from its mission to its finances and its ultimate success. Staffed organizations can reduce the amount of time and programmatical work required of the board, but may present unique management and coordination issues.
This webinar will explain the legal and fiduciary duties of care, obedience and loyalty. Participants will understand the roles of the board President, Treasurer and Secretary, and typical standing committees. We will discuss board-staff interactions within the rubric of organizational and board structures and stages, and how to assess your organization's point on the continuum. We'll investigate how to evaluate your board's performance as well as your individual performance in order to improve organizational functioning and increase your satisfaction. Finally, we'll look at strategies for troubleshooting common obstacles, to take your board from good to great.

We all believe in the value of fundraising, and may even understand the process of fundraising. But board involvement in fundraising is always a challenge, and wishing won't make it so.
Board members play a vital role in supporting an effective fundraising program. That role too often is unclear and underdeveloped. Land trusts need specific strategies to clarify the best role for board members, and for getting them to step up and fill that role successfully.
Participants will learn: the best ways to engage board members in their designated roles; to create mechanisms for accountability and follow-through; to identify other ways community leaders can be part of your fundraising team, and how to keep them motivated to help you raise money.
This webinar is the first of a three-part series on how to be a great board member. Parts II and III will cover governance and resolving disagreements to advance your mission. Look for those webinars in March.

Differences and disagreements among Board Members aren't necessarily a bad thing. They can be the source of valuable initiatives, and the antidote to group-think. The key is reframing an argument into a problem-solving process that advances the mission of the land trust, while maintaining or even improving relationships among board members.
This webinar teaches the essential skills of Principled Negotiation, a.k.a., Win-Win:
- Reframing an argument to a joint problem-solving process
- Engaging in active listening to promote effective communication
- Differentiating positions from interests
- Planning and using a BATNA (best alternative to a negotiated argeement)
- Generating and selecting options for mutual gain
After taking this webinar, participants will be able to use effective negotiation techniques themselves, as well as role-model and coach those techniques with their Board.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- One of the nation's leading conservation groups, the Land Trust Alliance, praised the U.S. House of Representatives today for approving a Farm Bill conference report, 251-166, that will provide more than $1 billion for a new consolidated conservation program to save working farm and ranch lands over the next ten years. The Senate is expected to approve the bill as soon as next week.
"This funding is a great investment for future generations of farmers, ranchers and all Americans. It will enable the purchase of perpetual conservation easements from landowners who are willing to restrict their land development and help secure food and fiber, clean water, wildlife habitat, and our rural heritage," said Rand Wentworth, president of the Land Trust Alliance, which represents 1,700 nonprofit land trusts that protect 47 million acres of farms, ranches, forests, wildlife habitat, and other open spaces.
The $1 billion in funding will go the new Agricultural Lands Easement (ALE) program, which consolidates the former Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program (FRPP) and Grassland Reserve Program (GRP) into a single program. FRPP and GRP have conserved more than one million acres of economically and environmentally important agricultural lands, but applications for FRPP and GRP have far exceeded the available funding.
Each year, an estimated two million acres of America's farms, ranches, forests, wildlife habitat, and other open spaces are fragmented into smaller parcels or lost to development, according to the President's 2013 Annual Economic Report to Congress.
The Land Trust Alliance worked with Senate and House leaders, including Senate Agriculture Committee Chairwoman Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) and House Agriculture Committee Chairman Frank Lucas (R-Okla.), to secure a provision that allows the Agriculture Secretary to waive a local cash-match requirement of 25 percent.
"Many areas across the country don't have any reliable sources of matching funds, and rural counties may not have the tax base to create one," said Russ Shay, director of policy for the Land Trust Alliance. "Allowing the Agriculture Secretary to waive the cash match requirement in special circumstances will provide the Secretary flexibility to target easements in important places where they are needed, but would not happen without the waiver."
"Selling development rights on the original homestead farm that has been in my family since the 1890s would help us to pass it on to my son who is now a 5th generation cherry farmer," said Rob Manigold, who as Supervisor of Old Mission Peninsula Township in Michigan for 25 years, led its successful farmland preservation efforts that included permanently protecting 5,000 acres of farmland. "This new Farm Bill would allow our community to build upon our past successes with new dollars and increased flexibility due to the cash match waiver provision. Agriculture is such an important economic driver for our region and state - why wouldn't we invest in protecting a land base like ours that is so unique?"
The Land Trust Alliance is a national conservation group that works on behalf of the nation's 1,700 land trusts to save the places people love by strengthening conservation nationwide. The Alliance works to increase the pace and quality of conservation by advocating favorable tax policies and training land trusts in best practices, and working to ensure the permanence of conservation in the face of continuing threats.
