It is an honour and privilege for me to address to this august gathering on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Russia and Pakistan. Our countries will celebrate this remarkable date on the 1st of May 2008, and as any jubilee, this event prompts us to address to our common history. Today Ambassadors and diplomats of the Commonwealth of Independent States are present here. In 1948 when our relations were established, the CIS countries were part of the Soviet Union and were directly involved in the process of forming up of bilateral relations with the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Today they continue to do it as the independent states.
Looking back at the way passed by our countries, I would like to note that the relations between the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Soviet Union and then with Russia were rich for different events which sometimes divided us. There were falls and rises caused by the "Cold War", military and political confrontation between the two hostile blocks as well as by other causes which evoked distrust. However, it is worth saying that to our countries ' leaders credit they always strived for overcoming negative barriers because the objective conditions – geographical proximity of Russia and Pakistan, cultural and civilizational affinity, common development tasks – pushed us towards each other, to interaction and cooperation.
The first serious steps in this direction were made in the 1960s of the 20th century, when President Mohammad Ayub Khan visited Moscow in 1965 and the USSR successfully contributed to the Pakistani-Indian conflict settlement resulted in the signing of the Tashkent Declaration in 1966. The next important stage in our relations were the visits of Mr. Alexey Kosygin, Chairman of the Council of the Ministers of the USSR to Pakistan which gave a powerful impetus to the Russian-Pakistani cooperation. Speaking about the visits, I would like also to mention the trips to Moscow of President Muhammad Yahya Khan in 1970 and of course, of the prominent Pakistani leader Mr. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1972 and 1974. By the way, during the last trip he was accompanied by his young daughter Ms. Benazir with whom I had shortly met then. Nobody could imagine at that time how intricate, great and tragic would be the destiny of these statesmen.
From the very beginning of the memorable 1960s trade and economic, social and cultural cooperation between our countries started to develop very intensively. The Soviet Union rendered Pakistan assistance in exploring of oil and gas, supplied agricultural machinery and constructed power stations. A direct air communication was established between Moscow and Karachi in 1963. Construction of the Pakistan Steel Mills (started in 1968, finished in the early eighties) played the most essential role in establishing of mutual understanding and interaction between the peoples of our countries.
There are a lot of bright examples of our cooperation which we can enumerate for a long time. For instance, the outstanding Pakistani scientist-physicist Mr. Abdus Salam won the recognition in the Soviet Union and was elected as a foreign member of the Academy of Science of the USSR in the sphere of nuclear physics. Those years were marked by establishment of useful contacts between the USSR State Committee on Atomic Energy and Pakistan Commission on Nuclear Energy in the field of peaceful use of atomic energy.
The USSR largely assisted Pakistan in training of qualified personnel in geological exploration, metallurgy, construction, medicine and other spheres. Today I would like to stress this fact because the representatives of Association of the Pakistani graduates of Russia and CIS are present in this hall. Being patriots of their country and at the same time preserving close ties with Russia they are making a considerable contribution to strengthening and development of our bilateral relations.
Even in the 1980s of the last century, which turned out to be a serious test for our relations, the cooperation between the USSR and Pakistan went on. This fact proves once more that our relations are not of a time-serving nature, they reflect daily wants of both states. Despite all irritants existed between our countries, Head of the Pakistani military administration General Zia-ul-Haq frequented official receptions at the Soviet Embassy on the occasion of the National Day.
Summing up, I have to say that in spite of problems, which divided Moscow and Islamabad, we tried to maintain the level of our relations and managed the way or the other to overcome all our discords. In the early 1990s of the last century after the Soviet Union's disintegration and emerging of a democratic Russia and the CIS new prospects for widening of cooperation between Moscow and Islamabad appeared (by the way, Pakistan was the first state which recognized Russia as the successor of the USSR). But these opportunities were not fully realized due to economic hardships of transitional period in Russia. Pakistan also had a lot of problems at that time.
Nevertheless, Russian and Pakistani diplomats did their best to put our relations on track and in the end were a success. The official visit to Moscow in 1999 of the then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was a tangible contribution to this process. Later summit meetings between the top leaders of the two countries (presidents Pervez Musharraf and Vladimir Putin) allowed us to move forward in drawing up of a new architecture of our interaction in a modern quickly changing world. and to eradicate all the principal irritants between Russia and Pakistan which existed in the past and to start our rapprochement again.
There is an obvious progress in our relations today. We find common ground and actively interact on many urgent and vital international problems, cooperate within the framework of such multilateral organizations as the United Nations, Shanghai Cooperation Organization and Organization of Islamic Conference. I have to note, by the way, that Islamabad played an active role in assisting Russia to get an observer status at the OIC as well as Moscow rendered Pakistan assistance in gaining the same status at the SCO. Both of our countries counteract international terrorism. A bilateral Joint Working Group was set up for this purpose where relevant issues being openly discussed.
It is worth mentioning that anytime when natural disasters fell up on Pakistan Russian people came to rescue. It was so in 1974 when we helped to eliminate the aftermath of a devastating flood. We did not stand aside when a devastating earthquake occurred in Pakistan in October 2005. Rescue team, doctors and humanitarian aid were urgently sent here.
There are some positive shifts in the trade and economic cooperation today. The increase of trade turnover between our countries, from 92 million dollars in 2003 to more than 400 million in 2007, is our joint achievement. In this regard I have to mention establishment in Karachi of a joint venture assembling KAMAZ trucks, supplies of the Russian helicopters to Pakistan and projects for the future in the field of oil and gas exploration, transport and space.
At the same time I don't intend to exaggerate our achievements. It is evident that all the work done for the last time, is not enough and current state of our bilateral affairs is not consistent with our potentials. It was particularly mentioned at the talks during the visit of the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation Mr. Mikhail Fradkov to Pakistan in April 2007. It has been the first high-level visit since 1968. This visit drew the line under the past stage of our relations and put them on a new track. Now it 's up to the governments of the two countries to make the next steps.
To tell literally, historical changes are taking place in Pakistan these days. We believe that your state will gain stability and confidence of the people and its opportunities in the field of international cooperation will increase. In this context I hope that the Government and Parliament of Pakistan will give particular attention to widening and deepening of cooperation with my country. There are a lot of opportunities for that. We have just to start working. For example, it is necessary to intensify interparliamentary ties. The Russian State Duma has re-established the Group of Friendship with Pakistan. And we will appreciate if a relevant step is made by the National Assembly of Pakistan. We also think that the contacts between different political parties, non-governmental organizations, including religious, are of utmost importance. But one of our major tasks is to move forward the activity of the Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic, Scientific and Technical
I would like to stress the significance of promotion of people to people contacts, cultural and scientific links. There has been a sort of vacuum in this spheres for many years in spite of the fact that at the Soviet times such kind of cooperation developed rather successfully. There is still the basis for that. For example, bibliography of the Russian scholars-orientalists about Pakistan is one of the most comprehensive in the world. The late Prof. Gankovsky, well-known in your country, Dr. Belokrinitsky, prominent scholars Kamenev and Moskalenko, who continue to actively publish their scientific works today, have played an immense role in Pakistan studies. The first ever encyclopaedia of Pakistan in the Russian and English languages was published in Russia by the 50th anniversary of our diplomatic relations. I know that there are also interesting and profound studies of the Pakistani scientists on different aspects of Russia's development. And it is not good when our
researches and scholars work often isolated from each other and contacts among them are very few. Sometimes they hold joint seminars and conferences, for example, between Area Study Centre of the University of Peshawar and Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Science, but to our regret, this is exception to the rule.
We should also seriously think about younger generations of Russians and Pakistanis and involve them into the process of mutual cognition of our societies. In this regard it is necessary to widen our cultural exchange, to promote tourism. Apart from the governments, business communities as well as interregional cooperation among Russian regions and Pakistani provinces, should make their contribution to this process.
Speaking about two our countries I would like to stress that the aspiration for the future and need for establishment of democratic values based on national heritage and experience unite Russia and Pakistan.
Today a new government of Pakistan faces real challenges: completion of political transformation process in the country and strengthening of democratic fundamentals of the Pakistani society; solving of tough economic problems, especially in power sector. It is necessary to continue macroeconomic reforms and promote a positive image of the country in the world. Pakistan has to counter such severe challenges of present days as extremism, terrorism, drug trafficking, etc. Apart from material, financial and moral expenditures this will require close cooperation with other states of the world, including Russia.
We hope that Pakistan will choose a right balance of economic, social and military measures necessary for restoration of stability in the country which is important not only for the Pakistanis but for the regional and international security in the whole.
I would like to assure all our friends, who gathered here, that for our country cooperation with Pakistan is of a self-dependent value taking into consideration its growing influence in the region, within the Muslim Ummah and all over the world. We also highly appreciate your positive and friendly attitude towards Russia and from our side will exert all necessary efforts to contribute to the development of mutually beneficial cooperation.
I am grateful to H.E. Mr. Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani, Prime Minister of Pakistan, for his warm message to this jubilee function in which he has extended felicitations on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries and has given the prospects for cooperation between Pakistan and Russia in different fields.
Taking this opportunity, I would also like to extend to the leadership and the Government of Pakistan and the Pakistani people my congratulations on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries.

When a passenger complained about the TSA's singling him out for sexual assault "in a private area" (perhaps the reporter is punning here, but in any case, that "private area" refers to a room, not the victim's groin), one of his assailants stole $520 from him. The thief admitted that he dropped the money and a pen the gentleman also carried into a drawer; "when the passenger returned [from his 'private'—- in both senses of the word — molestation]," the gate-rapist wrote in a "police report," "and I saw that it was the passenger who had given my fellow employees a hard time. I just didn't let on that I had the money."
The TSA's spokesliars have long insisted that employees never, ever retaliate, nor do they punish dissidents — though every passenger fearing he'll miss his flight if he so much as sighs while thugs grope him would vehemently disagree.
Now here's a goon admitting he did just that. He's pled guilty to "to one count of grand larceny" and faces sentencing in December. Unfortunately, the TSA's other vengeful deviants still roam free, terrorizing taxpayers and travelers.8:59 am on October 3, 2012 Email Becky Akers

Terry in Crosshairs
Seems the kind folks at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is starting a robocall campaign against these two and 33 fellow Republicans whom it thinks are vulnerable targets now and in 2014.
From The Hill Campaign Blog:
DCCC escalates tax offense with robocalls targeting 35 GOP lawmakers
"The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is continuing its offense on tax cuts for the middle class with robocalls in the districts of 35 House Republicans it believes are vulnerable on the issue.
The robocalls charge that the lawmaker at issue "could make sure Congress votes to extend tax cuts for the middle class and avoids the fiscal cliff, but he refuses."
It's a reference to the discharge petition introduced by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) last week to extend the Bush-era tax levels for the middle class but allow rates to rise for the wealthy. The petition will need 218 signatures to get to the House floor for a vote, and Democrats will be unable to achieve that majority without help from a few dozen Republicans.
The call goes on to charge that the targeted lawmaker is "holding the middle class hostage to get more reckless, budget-busting tax cuts for millionaires."
It directs the listener to go to GOPHostageTakers.com, a site launched by the DCCC last week that includes a petition for visitors to sign to "to tell Speaker Boehner and House Republicans to allow a vote on middle class tax cuts," and lists 40 House Republicans that it says are taking the middle class "hostage."
When launched last Wednesday, the site set a goal of 250,000 signatures on the petition; the DCCC says it has already received more than 400,000 signatures, and the site now lists a goal of 500,000.
The robocalls, which are only going to the districts of 35 of the 40 "hostage-takers," are a slight escalation of an effort launched last week by the DCCC to hammer Republicans on the tax issue, at a time when negotiations surrounding the fiscal cliff are heating up on Capitol Hill.
The committee also sent press releases to reporters in the districts of the 40 targeted Republicans highlighting the discharge petition. The effort is an indication Democrats believe the issue of tax cuts for the middle class will be a potent one going into the upcoming election cycle.
The targeted lawmakers are as follows:
CA-10 Jeff Denham
CA-25 Buck McKeon
CA-31 Gary Miller
CO-06 Mike Coffman
FL-02 Steve Southerland
FL-10 Dan Webster
FL-13 Bill Young

- Growth Company Builder.
- Product Launcher.
- Partnership Developer.
- Technology Marketer.
- Breakthrough Generator.
- Virtual Incubator.
Core capabilities
Growthroute's sweet spot is in complex product and business tasks requiring a pragmatic mindset, deep analytical skills, and a focused effort. As Growthroute's principal, the core capabilities below allow me to maximize quality and speed for those tasks.
Expand the capabilities below by clicking on them:
"GrowthRoute as a platform"
Since GrowthRoute is my trade name as an independent partner of growth companies and product innovators, the capabilities described below are primarily mine. But they don't stop here, because Growthroute is built on a platform model, with virtual "APIs" through which new capabilities can be easily added. Having developed a network of contributors and experts, if I don't have the required skill in-house, I know where to find it.
Industry expertise
My main industries of expertise are web applications and renewable energies. I have been involved for close to 15 years in both fields and have worked with several companies in those sectors. My earlier career span a number of other sectors. Whichever the field, I seek to weave industry characteristics deeply into all actions in order to maximize results.
Business know-how and best practices
When you build a new company or launch a product, having a partner who has been there and done that can help accelerate the process and reduce the risk. I have commercialized numerous technologies and launch several companies, set up lead generation processes and sales teams, spec'ed out products based on both technical possibilities and market requirements, helped businesses raise money and get acquired, developed partnerships between start-ups and large corporations, and generally positioned the companies I worked with effectively to meet ambitious, make-or-break objectives.
Having implemented the entire Pragmatic Marketing framework in past roles, I also systematically developed best practices for each of Growthroute's missions and as a result can craft and execute entire strategies with unmatched efficiency.
With two graduate degrees in business and past experience as a B2B sales assistant, product manager, strategy consultant, director for market strategy, VP of marketing, and company co-founder, I build on solid foundations.
Strategic thinking and insight generation
In innovative sectors, keeping your eyes on the prize is half the battle. The opportunity cost of working on the wrong tasks through the wrong methods is higher than ever. In my previous role as a consultant for the Boston Consulting Group, I got deeply exposed to strategy work and learnt to identify the tasks that make a real difference, and focus on those. So when I work with you I always go for the "big wins" and "low-hanging fruits" first, because if we don't your competitors will.
In past work I have generally been recognized for my ability to think ahead and anticipate market trends and reactions. That capability is not intuitive but anchored in deep data analysis and pattern recognition skills.
Quantitative and financial modeling skills
I routinely use excel's advanced functions and macros, have conducted statistical analysis such as clustering hundreds of thousands of accounts for a large Canadian bank using SPSS, and enjoy turning data into information and actions.
While studying at Stanford I was hired by the business school to teach financial modeling, and I also took and topped advanced classes to learn about neural networks, monte-carlo simulation, market basket analysis, memory-based reasoning, OLAP, genetic algorithms and other data mining techniques.
A lot of my previous work has consisted in building end-to-end product and financial models involving complex financial and technical calculations. My models are actively used by salesforces to put together complete client proposals, and by product management teams to drive decisions and set the company apart.
Beyond pure analysis, I can present results in an intuitive manner to extract insights that change opinions and open up new avenues for growth. I have learnt to master Powerpoint obviously, and express complex ideas in approachable, engaging terms.
Programming and software project management experience
There are lots of engineers and programmers with some business skills, but not a lot of business people who can code and match an engineer's analytical rigor. Having owned a computer since age 10, and dove deep into technology, I do.
I have personally handcoded several websites including this one, using HTML, PHP and CSS (all in notepad only - no cheat sheet!). I have architected and dissected large databases in Access and, more often, MySQL. Through the computer models I built, I also organically drove technical specifications for new products.
Having received training for and implemented Agile Programming, I am a certified "scrummaster" and as such work through quick iterations leading each time to deliverable products. I have also contracted and supervised a number of developers and technical workers, both remotely and onsite.
Work ethic, integrity and reliability
Ultimately all the high-level capabilities in the world don't trump fundamental skills such as delivering on what you promised in a timely fashion, and working to support the company's goals. I do what I said I would do. I do not promise what I cannot deliver. A self-made grandfather passed those traditional values to me and so those are dear to my heart.
While striving to respect the sensitivities of everyone, I say it as it is, especially if it is important to the business success. I do not "sugarcoat" you, nor do I darken the picture for my benefit. In past projects, I have always chosen the ethical way even when it was not in my own interest, and anyone who knows me knows I will again whenever faced with such tough choices.
Collaborative methodologies
All of GrowthRoute projects involved distance collaboration and coordination. Using state-of-the-art collaboration tools made it look like we were in adjacent cubicles. In fact I heard more than once from partnering organizations that responsiveness is a key benefit of working with GrowthRoute.
Taking it one step further, I love whenever possible to "crowdsource" work and involve a company's customers and potential customers in offering solutions. It simply magnifies the creative power manyfold. And of course, through GrowthRoute I also involve select experts as needed. In a good number of the missions undertaken to date, I enrolled other specialists to help ace some highly-specific tasks. In order to pick the best, I usually disregard location. In this day and age, it does not matter whether someone is local or not as long as we speak the same language and are both available and professional.
Cultural respect and awareness
The corollary of global collaboration is the ability to create productive, respectful work environments. Having lived and worked for several years in each of all three northern continents, I am ready to help you with international needs, be it to open up the north-american market to your products, interface effectively with a diverse workforce, or set up global partnerships and operations.

Little Rock: From Urban Blight to Urban Bling: River Market Draws Crowds (Tourism | Winner 20,000+)
Posted 12/10/2012 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
As big pictures go, it hasn't been that long since an eastward glance down what was the tail end of East Markham in downtown Little Rock revealed a road to nowhere.
Twenty years ago, the view looking east from the intersection where LaHarpe becomes Cumberland was not a picture the city printed on postcards. Abandoned buildings dotted a streetscape approaching the I-30 bridge that seemed ripe for tumbleweeds.
Today, a view from that same spot where four streets meet (LaHarpe to the north and west, Cumberland to the south, Markham to the west and now President Clinton to the east) reveals no blight, no tumbleweeds, but a thriving urban district the city is proud to feature on postcards.
The River Market District has transformed from urban blight to urban bling, thanks to the combined efforts of the city of Little Rock, the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau, private developers, business owners and volunteers. In 2010, the LRCVB took over management of the district's Ottenheimer Market Hall, River Market Pavilions and Riverfest Amphitheater and enhanced several existing programs while adding options for residents and tourists.
These transformative efforts have earned Little Rock a 2012 Arkansas Business City of Distinction award for tourism development.
Launched in 1996, the $300 million riverfront redevelopment project that came to be known as the River Market District began as Ottenheimer Market Hall, which remains the district's focal point. The pavilion and the amphitheater that sits just behind it on the banks of the Arkansas River have become an integral part of the CVB's tourism efforts.
In the past two years, these venues have been bursting with activity designed to help solidify the growing sense of River Market community and attract even more visitors to the area.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau hired a director of River Market operations and partnered with the River Market Advisory Committee to bolster the menu of attractions for residents and tourists alike and accomplish the following goals:
- Stabilize and reinforce Ottenheimer Market Hall as an incubator for restaurant startups
- Provide tourists with a defined visitors center at the Shop the Rock souvenir store
- Develop an annual programming calendar in conjunction with community groups
- Drive tourists to the River Market by growing the area's appeal, increasing tax revenue and enhancing the quality of life for area residents in the process.
Restaurants continue to keep the market hall bustling at lunchtime in the spirit of public markets such as Pike's Place in Seattle and Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia.
The amphitheater continues to host numerous concerts and other events. Regular River Market programs added or enhanced by the bureau include:
- The Farmers' Market continues to run twice a week from spring through fall, and the CVB brought in family-friendly programming, its Dean the Bean mascot plus the Garden Gourmet Chef Series
- The annual outdoor ice skating rink, Arvest on Ice at the River Market, that takes up the open-air pavilions from mid-November through mid-January
- The annual Sculpture at the River Market show and sale highlights nationally recognized sculptors
- Movies in the Park, a weekly movie screening held at the amphitheater
- Yoga on the River, which is just what the name says
- The Cruisin' in the Rock summer car series that draws car enthusiasts from across the country
- The new Arkansas Sounds Music Festival coordinated with the Central Arkansas Library System
- And of course, the Farmers Market continues to run twice a week from spring through fall.
National attention was focused on the River Market last year by a visit from PBS and the Toyota Farm to Table Tour highlighting the connection between local chefs and local farmers.
Last year, Ottenheimer Market Hall alone served more than 503,300 visitors, and more than a quarter of a million people continue to attend LRCVB-supported Riverfest each year.
All of which represents significant improvement and a far cry from the days when the tumbleweeds seemingly outnumbered the people.

Sarah and Lee's Story...
'Ethan Lee Schofield entered our World at Blackpool Victoria Hospital on Friday 8th March 2013 at 10.38pm, weighing 780 grams. I was 24 weeks + 5 days pregnant, Ethan was 15 weeks early. As soon as Ethan was born he was whisked away from us for emergency treatment to help him breath & to stabalise his condition. Six hours later we were able to see our son for the first time and he was beautiful. On Saturday morning Ethan was transferred to the Neonatal Unit at Preston Hospital for his care. The first couple of days were rocky and we even had an emergency Christening on the Sunday as we were told Ethan was struggling and may not last the night. However, from that Monday he turned a massive corner and reacted well to his medicine. We had a lovely two weeks with him though he had a couple of moments where he needed a little extra care. On Friday 22nd March he took a turn for the worse, he began to vomit faeces and after the doctors looked at him they realised his bowel had a perforation resulting in him needing surgery. That night our little man was transferred to Alder Hey Hospital in Liverpool with us in tow. At midnight he went in for his surgery and after an hour the surgeon came to inform us his operation was a success. Ethan was then transferred in the early hours of Saturday morning to the Woman's and Children's unit in Liverpool to recover. He seemed to make a good recovery but his heart and lungs began to fail and on Saturday 30th March Ethan passed away aged 3 weeks + 1 day. Our son was named 'Fiesty Ethan' by the nurses as he was full of attitude throughout his care. This lasting memory of his spirit has given us the strength to tell the story of our son, Ethan Lee.'
Please help us to raise £15,000 for our second project; to purchase a new Neonatal Ventilator for Blackpool Victoria Hospital. This machine is designed to mechanically move breathable air into and out of the lungs to aid babies who are unable to breathe or breathing insufficiently.This single piece of equipment will benefit not just a few babies but hundreds of babies that have to pass through this ward each and every year. Not only does this keep Ethan's spirit going but with us having to live each and every day in the Hospital it made us realise we were one of many sets of parents who had to fight this battle each day and we want to help future families having to go down this same journey

1: Ignore the sock lines- I will not have sock lines on my wedding day
My reasoning for not going with pair #1 is that I can't get into the thick-strapped sandal-type shoes (not just those--all of them) b/c my grandma used to wear them ALL THE BLOODY TIME so I can't get "orthopedic" out of my head. But please....I could be completely wrong. Cause that's sort of maybe happened before and stuff....
(Incentive: I will draw a name from the votes and the winner will get a $5 gift card to spend on shoes at Zappos.com! Drawing to be done on Tuesday!)
Also, Nic's really good (and gorgeous) friend, Lissa has put up a blog for the wedding. You should go check it out! Tell her I sent ya :-)

August 22nd, 2011 | TriCare Help | Posted by Military Times
My friend retired and has gone blind. How can I get him on Tricare?
If your friend is entitled to receive retired pay, he is most likely eligible for Tricare. He needs to be registered with his uniformed service, which can do the paperwork needed to enroll him in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System, better known as DEERS, and to issue a current uniformed service identification card.
I believe it is most likely those things were done when your friend retired, but to confirm that, or to receive instructions about doing it, if necessary, please contact the DEERS Support Office, toll-free, at 1-800-538-9552. Be prepared to take notes.
His wife and unmarried children younger than 26 also are Tricare-eligible, but they, also, must be enrolled in like manner.
You may encounter some problems initially in working on your friend's behalf due to Privacy Act restrictions. DEERS, however, will advise you about working around them.
The uniformed service ID card is used as "proof of insurance" when dealing with providers of medical care. On the back of the card is information regarding eligibility for civilian medical care. The word, "YES" in the appropriate place confirms Tricare eligibility.
Complete information about Tricare can be found at the official Tricare website. For information about filing claims, forms, and addresses, please go to the claims section or call the beneficiary's Regional Tricare Service Center.
If your friend has not already done so, he should contact the Social Security Administration regarding his disability. That toll-free number is 1-800-772-1213. If he qualifies, he can become entitled to disability payments and, after two years of receiving those benefits, he will become entitled to Medicare.
Enrollment in Medicare Parts A and B will make him eligible for the Tricare plan called Tricare for Life, or TFL. In the absence of other health insurance, TFL is a Tricare plan under which Medicare becomes the beneficiary's primary health insurance, and Tricare Standard will automatically serve as his free Medicare supplement.
Under TFL, he must get all civilian medical care from Medicare providers only. A Medicare provider is one that is registered with Medicare and is authorized to file Medicare claims for services provided to Medicare beneficiaries. Medicare will process the claim, pay its share to the provider, and automatically forward the claim to Tricare.
For every medical service on the Medicare claim that is covered by both Medicare and by Tricare, Tricare Standard will pay the balance on the Medicare claim (the Medicare copayment and deductible). That done, the provider's bill will be paid in full. The patient will owe nothing.
Occasionally a Medicare provider will render a service that is not covered by both Medicare and by Tricare. In that case, only one of the two plans will pay. The other plan will deny payment as a non-covered service. In those cases, the patient (or his supplement) is responsible for the unpaid balance on the claim. Such Medicare claims will be relatively uncommon. The vast majority of the medical care will be paid in full under TFL (the combined Medicare plus Tricare payments).

My son is in the Air Force, stationed at Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. He applied to have me as a secondary dependent (I am his mother) and it was approved in June. I went to MacDill Air Force Base, Fla., a few weeks ago to get my military ID and to find out about medical care. They told me I couldn't see a doctor there, but if I saw a civilian doctor and he ordered tests, they could do them on base. I'm sure there is some way for me to get some medical care. Can I join Tricare? Can I go to another military medical facility?
By law, a service member's parents are not eligible for Tricare. That is true even if the parent is totally dependent on the service member. You can get official confirmation of the above by calling the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System at 1-800-538-9552.
Dependent parents may be authorized medical services, at varying levels of care, at a military hospital. Depending on the situation at the particular hospital, a parent may get total care there, limited services or no services. The parent has no legal right to care at the military hospital. If granted, it is a matter of courtesy only.
Apparently, that was your experience in that, although you cannot see a military doctor at your hospital, it can provide certain laboratory services for you when ordered by your civilian physician.
The primary consideration for whether a dependent parent can get care is usually the availability of space, personnel, and/or the technical capacity of that hospital to provide the care the parent needs.
The primary mission of military hospitals, by law, is to provide care for active duty military personnel. That must always be the hospital's primary concern.
The decision to grant or deny a dependent parent's access to care at the military hospital rests entirely with its Commanding Officer. That decision is based on his or her professional opinion, after consideration of the hospital's primary mission.
You may want to approach the hospital's Patient Administration Office or Executive Officer about your concerns.

I plan on marrying a retired Coast Guard pilot next year, but my children and I have since moved in and combined our families into one unit. Can my two kids and I join Tricare prior to the marriage while living with him?
No; you'll have to get married first. You and your children will become Tricare-eligible on the day you marry. Your husband, however, will have to register the family with the Coast Guard and DEERS, and get uniformed service ID cards for you before you can use Tricare. Save all your medical bills until he gets that done.
He should call the DEERS Support Office, toll-free, at 1-800-538-9552, if he needs guidance. His Personnel Section can help him with it immediately if nearby; or, he can try a reserve unit with a personnel shop.

I retired from the Air Force in 1988 and my wife and I have used her employer-provided BCBS insurance since that time. My wife has since retired and her employer will continue to provide medical coverage until we turn 65. As I understand it, when we turn 65, we will need to be enrolled in Medicare, Part A and Part B and in Tricare for Life. Am I correct that both my wife and I will be covered under Medicare, then Tricare for Life?
You will indeed be covered. In fact, you could have been using Tricare all along: When you retired from the service and became entitled to retired pay, you, your wife, and any unmarried children under age 21 became eligible for Tricare. Since that date, provided you properly registered your family in DEERS, you and your family could have been using Tricare as second payer to your wife's commercial health insurance policy. Tricare would have paid most, or all, of what the commercial policy did not pay on each claim. For example, that plan's deductibles and copayments.
As you and your wife, individually, reach age 65, you become entitled to free Medicare Part A. And as you enroll in Medicare Part B, each of you, in turn, will become eligible for Tricare for Life.
For official information about eligibility and assistance for enrolling in any Tricare plan, please call the DEERS Support office, toll-free, at 1-800-538-9552.
Tricare for Life, or TFL for short, consists of two, full-service, stand alone health insurance plans provided by the government. Those plans are Medicare Part A and Part B, plus Tricare Standard. Medicare Part A and Tricare Standard are free. You will be responsible for paying only the monthly premium for Medicare Part B. Note that Health Affairs does not recommend enrolling in the Medicare Pharmacy Plan, called Medicare Part D. You are automatically enrolled in the free Tricare Pharmacy Plan already.
Medicare is your primary coverage, and you must seek all civilian medical care from Medicare providers only.
In the vast majority of your Medicare claims, Tricare Standard will act as a free Medicare supplement. On the vast majority of those claims, when each of the services on the Medicare claim is covered by both Medicare and by Tricare, Tricare Standard will pay whatever Medicare did not pay on the Medicare claims for your medical care. Thus, the combined Medicare, plus Tricare payments, will pay the Medicare claim, and the provider's bill, in full. You will pay nothing.
Occasionally, you will receive a Medicare claim that contains a particular item that is not covered by Medicare. In that case, Tricare will become your only health insurance for that particular item, and you will be responsible for paying whatever Tricare does not pay for that particular item on that particular claim. Your payment, in such cases, will usually be the Tricare deductible and cost share. As noted, such claims will be rare.

My 62-year old mother is in the process of divorcing her husband, who's retired from the Navy. She is currently covered under his Tricare. They have been married 14 years, only 18 month of which while he was on active duty, so we realize she will not be eligible for Tricare on her own after the divorce. Divorce proceedings may take months, however, and he is threatening to "make a phone call" now and have her dropped from his plan before the divorce is final. Can he do this?
In short, no. Under the law that created Tricare, the benefit flows directly to the beneficiary, not "through" the military sponsor. The sponsor cannot control the beneficiary's eligibility for Tricare or use of the program. Neither does the sponsor have a legal right to any information about an adult beneficiary's Tricare claims or medical care without the beneficiary's written permission. That information is protected by the federal Privacy Act of 1974.
You are correct that your mother's Tricare eligibility will end when the divorce is final. Tricare will not cover the costs of any medical service she receives after midnight on the day the divorce is final. She and/or her providers, however, may continue to file Tricare claims for medical services received before that time and date. The filing deadline for those claims is one year from the date of the care.
I strongly recommend that you call the DEERS Support Office for official information regarding this matter and confirmation of the information above.The toll-free number is 1-800-538-9552. DEERS can provide official information and guidance about any matter pertaining to Tricare eligibility only. It can't help with matters concerning Tricare benefits, claims, or payments. Please contact your Regional Tricare Service Center for that information.
Bear in mind that I am not an attorney; while I can tell you what a law or regulation says, I am not qualified to tell you how it applies to a particular person or situation. Only a qualified attorney or official agency can do that.

I have been married to my husband for 17 years and we are in the process of getting a divorce. He is stationed in another state. I am a veteran too, but I left the military to raise my children. I know the children will be covered after we divorce, but is there anything I can do to keep Tricare coverage for myself?
The information in your letter leads me to think that you will lose your Tricare eligibility if you divorce your husband. For a spouse to retain eligibility after divorce, he or she must have been married to the same military sponsor for at least 20 years during which time the sponsor accrued retirement credits.
You are three years short of that requirement, according to your letter. If that is correct, you will lose your Tricare eligibility at midnight of the day the divorce is final.
You are correct that the Tricare eligibility of your husband's natural or adopted children will not be affected by the divorce. Their Tricare eligibility can continue until they are 26 years old under proper circumstances established by law.
Please call the DEERS Support Office, toll-free, for official information and guidance regarding all matters of Tricare eligibility. Your lawyer can also call that office. The toll-free number is 1-800-538-9552.

Q. I'm a disabled veteran and both my children are currently covered by my Tricare. My daughter thinks that if she gets married, she will still be able to use my Tricare until she's 26. I don't think that's correct. Who's right?
You are. Under both Tricare's original 1966 legislation (as amended) and the new law extending children's eligibility under the parents' insurance, children lose Tricare eligibility if they marry.
Remember that Tricare eligibility is established by federal law; Tricare does not have the authority to determine whether a given individual meets all the legal criteria for Tricare eligibility. Only the services have that authority by law.
To confirm that with an official source, please contact the DEERS Support Office, toll-free, at 1-800-538-9552.

Q. My father is retired from the military, and I had coverage up until my last doctor's appointment, when they took my ID card away because it was expired. My father went to try to get me another one, and they told him since I am not a student, I am not eligible for Tricare. I am pregnant now. Am I still not eligible for Tricare?
There is a new Tricare program available for certain unmarried children of active duty, retired, or deceased uniformed service personnel who do not meet the age or student status requirements of the older programs.
It is called the Tricare Young Adult Program. You can find complete, official information about the program here. Unlike the older programs, it is more restrictive of eligibility, and it is more expensive.
For official answers to all questions about Tricare eligibility, please call the DEERS Support Office, toll-free, at 1-800-538-9552. DEERS is a federal agency. It deals with Tricare eligibility issues only. It cannot provide information about Tricare plans, benefits, payments, or claims.
August 3rd, 2011 | TriCare Help | Posted by Military Times
Q. My husband died on active duty in 2007. Our two sons and I use Tricare. I don't plan on marrying for a couple of years, but what if I get pregnant? I know the baby, once born, wouldn't be covered under Tricare, but would it cover my pregnancy, labor and delivery? Can I be penalized for it?
As the un-remarried widow of a deceased active duty uniformed service member, you are eligible for Tricare. Under present law, you will continue to be eligible for Tricare through your deceased sponsor for the reminder of your life, unless you marry again. If you remarry, your Tricare eligibility under that sponsorship will terminate at midnight of the day before your remarriage.
The above means that your maternity care can be covered by Tricare for as long as you remain eligible. There are no penalties of any kind. Your baby, however, will not be eligible for Tricare because he is not the child of your deceased sponsor.
In order for you and your present children to continue to use Tricare while you remain eligible, you must keep your DEERS registration and military identification cards up-to-date.
For official confirmation of the above, please call the DEERS Support Office, toll-free, at 1-800-538-9552.

Q. My wife has issues with sleeplessness, weight gain and possible hormone imbalance issues. She's been seen at our local base hospital a dozen times by both women's clinic doctors and family practice doctors. The docs continue to bounce here back and forth with no resolution of the problem and will not send her off base for another opinion or possibly to see a specialist who works with female hormone problems. How can we get a Tricare referral? We're almost to the point of paying for off base care out of pocket if necessary, but it's hard to believe Tricare wouldn't cover this problem.
Tricare is unrelated to military health services. It has no authority to require or even recommend that the military refer a patient to civilian care or specialists.
If you and your wife have a complaint about care she received at the military hospital, go through the chain of command at that hospital first. If unsuccessful, then ask for guidance about the next step for filing a complaint.
You may want to ask for advice from the Tricare Headquarters. That address is Tricare Management Activity, 16401 E. Centretech Parkway, Aurora, CO 80011-9043. TMA does not have an e-mail address or telephone number suitable for public contact.

RELEASED: July 3, 2008
EAU CLAIRE — As has happened in 10 of the past 13 years, a number of UW-Eau Claire students will be housed in an area hotel this fall.
Charles Major
The university can accommodate 3,905 students in its residence halls, and requests for housing have exceeded that number by approximately 130, said Charles Major, UW-Eau Claire director of Housing and Residence Life.
The Plaza Hotel, selected following a bidding process, will house the additional students for the fall semester, Major said. Among those living at the Plaza will be approximately 60 returning students who already have volunteered to live in alternative housing should the need arise. The intent is that no freshmen will be placed in the hotel, he said.
Major noted that students consistently have had a positive experience living in area hotels.
"The hotel is treated as an off-campus residence hall that has live-in resident assistants as well as a hall director who oversees the programs in the hotel for students," he said.
Major added that students living in the hotel will have ready access to all UW-Eau Claire campus services, with city buses making stops at the hotel on a 30-minute schedule throughout the day and a university shuttle available after the buses stop running until 1 a.m.
It is likely that all students will be housed in UW-Eau Claire residence halls for the second semester.
"In the majority of the past 13 years we've been able to accommodate all students back on campus for the second semester because of the number of on-campus students who graduate at semester as well as those who study abroad in the second semester," Major said.
The need to house students in alternative off-campus facilities has arisen at various times for more than 25 years, Major said, adding, "The decision to house students in hotels and other accommodations was made originally by former Chancellor Leonard Haas and has been supported by all subsequent chancellors, the thought being that we have a duty to provide university-sponsored and university-supervised housing to all students who request it."

April 2012 -
Both of MEA-MFT's national affiliates, NEA and AFT, have launched major campaigns against bullying in the past year. Here are some recent activities and resources you can use from these campaigns:
May 4: AFT's Stand4Change Day
Friday, May 4, MEA-MFT members will join their fellow AFT members across the country to stand up to bullying on Stand4Change Day. As part of the AFT's ongoing "See a Bully, Stop a Bully" campaign, students and teachers will join in the Stand 4 Change demonstration at schools throughout the United States. Watch the promo video.
At noon Eastern Daylight Time (10:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time) May 4, participants will stand for five minutes in their classrooms, lunchrooms and other school facilities to show their shared commitment to end bullying in America's schools. Organizers of the protest want to send this simple but powerful message: Bullying is not acceptable in our schools or in our communities.
Teachers and administrators can register their classrooms and schools at the Stand4Change website: www.stand4change.org. Already, schools representing hundreds of thousands of students have registered—with more signing up every day.
"If all students, teachers and other educators stand—united against bullying—on May 4," says AFT President Randi Weingarten, "we can spark a national conversation that will help put an end to bullying and its devastating consequences."
This event takes place as the AFT and our affiliates have been urging members to see the new documentary film, "Bully," which tells the stories of five students tormented by bullies and reveals the too-often tragic consequences of such harassment. Many AFT affiliates are hosting screenings of the movie, inviting community leaders to watch the film and taking part in discussions of the issues it raises.
The AFT launched the "See a Bully, Stop a Bully" campaign to spread the word to parents, teachers, administrators and students about the devastating effects of bullying. Thousands of posters and more than 300,000 blue wristbands with the slogan "See a Bully—Stop a Bully" have been distributed. When students see a teacher or staff person, or another student wearing the wristband, they know they have a friend—someone they can reach out to for help or to talk to in confidence.
Ways you can take action:
NEA's Bully Free: It Starts With Me
The Bully Free: It Starts With Me campaign emphasizes that "one caring adult can make all the difference." NEA's Bully Free: It Starts With Me campaign asks you to fill out pledge form saying: "I agree to be identified as a caring adult who pledges to help bullied students. I will listen carefully to all students who seek my help and act on their behalf to put an immediate stop to the bullying. I will work with other caring adults to create a safe learning environment for all the students in my school."
The NEA web site also has resources for learning to stop bullies and helping victims of bullies.

P.S. 561 Seeks Funding For New Food Truck: You Can Help
Categories: Food Truck News
|P.S. 561's Aaron Merullo wants to graduate to a larger truck.

So when Aaron and Stefanie Merullo decided to upgrade P.S. 561, they went outside the box and started a campaign through Smallknot. Their goal? To raise $2,500 in 45 days to help fund a new food truck to replace their trailer. So far, they've raised over $1,000 in just a few days.
Smallknot is a small company out of Brooklyn that helps small businesses raise small amounts of capital for business improvements. Unlike Kickstarter, which tends to fund artistic projects, Smallknot concentrates on local mom and pop businesses that are looking to expand or improve a project.
Aaron Merullo told Clean Plate Charlie that he's outgrown the current P.S. 561 trailer and the $2,500 he's raising will help purchase a new food truck.
"The food truck itself will cost a lot more than that investment, but this is a grant that will give us a boost and that's what this program is all about. The current P.S. 561 has a leaky roof and it's not big enough to allow us to expand into Broward County and get into the late night service we'd like to get involved with."
Your monetary investment to P.S. 561 brings returns in the form of food or your name on the new truck. If the goal isn't achieved, your money is returned. For instance, a $25 investment gets you lunch for four at P.S. 561; a $50 investment gets you lunch for six; a $100 investment gets a lunch party for ten; invest $250 and the truck comes to your house for a grill party. $500 gets your name etched on the new truck.
While many food truck owners are finding the business difficult due to permitting issues and a glut of competition, Merullo's future is bright. "It comes down to what we're selling. We sell gourmet hot dogs. It's a good product that people enjoy. Restaurants always have a high failure rate, but we started out by not going into heavy debt with an expensive truck and working hard. We're looking forward to the future and sharing our hot dogs with more people."

Making a Difference - Student Support
Inspired by Dean Edwards Godfrey's initial leadership, The University of Maine School of Law has long been a place of opportunity for talented individuals seeking a high quality legal education. With over 3,300 alumni throughout the U.S. and abroad who have made lasting contributions in public service, government, business and the legal profession, Maine Law continues to live up to the vision of its founders.
The Issue. Law Students today face substantial student loan debt and a challenging job market. This combination has resulted in a steep decline nationally in law school applicants in the past two years, and law schools are likely to see a further decrease in applicants this year. Maine Law has sustained a strong applicant pool, but we must respond to national trends and compete for the best law students.
The Response. Scholarship support for students is crucial as the cost of legal education has increased. Law schools all over the country are offering astounding scholarship packages to applicants. This puts increased pressure on Maine Law to offer comparable financial support to our students. We maintained our high standards for the 2012 entering class, but we lost a number of talented students who were lured away by other schools' financial packages. If other schools continue to offer large scholarships and the applicant pool continues to drop, Maine Law risks a serious decline in the number and quality of our students.
The Strategy. If Maine Law can expand investment in scholarship support at this moment of increasing competition, the benefits would be tremendous. That is, at a time when the cost of tuition is a critical factor in students' decisions, our ability to offer a high quality, lower cost education will serve to enhance our reputation and improve our ability to compete for strong students.
The Numbers. To put this in perspective, if Maine Law focused its efforts on the best and brightest Maine residents, a $10,000 scholarship ($30,000 for the three years) brings a student's financial commitment to about $13,000 per year – an exceptional package for a law school education. With our small class sizes, being able to offer ten new $10,000 scholarships would fundamentally transform the entering class of students and dramatically enhance our national reputation.
Three easy ways to give. Send your gift to Maine Law Annual Fund, 246 Deering Ave., Portland, ME 04102; or donate online.

The Pyrenean Shepherd is also known by its French name, Berger des Pyrénées (pronounced ber-JAE day pyr-ray-NAE). Fanciers of the breed in America often shorten his name to "pyr shep". He is the traditional working companion of the larger dog, the Great Pyrenees. Together they aid the shepherd in his everyday workings with his herd of sheep or other livestock. Outside his homeland of France the breed is rare, but in France his popularity as a wonderfully devoted family companion has grown considerably since the early 1970s. Although small in stature and weight, it is said, "pound for pound, he has few equals in both herding or guarding". The Bigourdan Shepherds remark on his tenacity and fearlessness.
The Pyrenean Shepherd Club of America National Specialty Show is held once a year in various locations across the United States. Great efforts are made by all the members and show committee to incorporate a variety of activities so all pyr shep owners feel welcome and can participate. To date there are over 500 Pyrenean Shepherds registered with the club and the National Specialty is almost a week long gathering with conformation shows, puppy sweepstakes, altered classes, veteran classes, agility performances and trials, agility seminars, flyball demonstrations, herding lessons and instinct tests. All pyr sheps are welcome and we encourage anyone interested in watching our dogs to come and join us. Keep in touch with our activities by visiting this page for updates on when and where our next event will be held.
You can find Pyrenean Shepherds competing in many different events thoughout the year and throughout the country.
