Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, the two leaders and authors of what has now become an international best-seller that has been called a "brutal awakening" state that "Just as slavery was the defining struggle of the nineteenth century and totalitarianism that of the twentieth, the fight to end the oppression of women and girls worldwide defines ours."
Their book titled "Half the Sky" asserts that the central moral challenge of the 21st century is the full emancipation of all women. The book went on to inspire a multi-part documentary series based on the best-selling book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, aired internationally in 2013.
Assessing progress of women's status in peace and development dominated the discourse at events held worldwide this year to mark International Women's Day on 8 March, 2013. Resolution 1325 was utilised as the framework for measuring progress, being the landmark development in the subject in the twenty-first century having received overwhelming and multi-stakeholder consensus in the year 2000. Resolution 1325 is important in that it addresses the situation of women in conflict settings and in a post-conflict context. It stresses the importance of having women at the forefront in decisions that affect their lives as a result of conflict. When considering the role of women in the context of post-war Sri Lanka and whether they are able to participate meaningfully in peace-building and other decision making processes, and also whether they are able to deal with protection-related issues, a number of positive steps can be noted.
Activities have been carried out in the country both by the State and civil society for many years, directly relevant to the principles laid down in 1325. However, the label of 1325 has not been attached to this work. Current work on women's rights and issues in the country are in the areas of gender-based violence, women and political representation and empowering women generally.
The State has from time to time set up committees at district level to tackle district level concerns. District Child Protection Committees have been set up under the National Child Protection Authority in Vavuniya, Batticaloa and other districts. These committees were established to strengthen and expand child protection activities at district level. The District Secretary acts as the focal point and is responsible for the planning and implementation of activities. Local NGOs working in the field of child protection are also members of these committees. The constituency and mandate of the Committees make them an ideal entry point to bring in issues of peace and security.
Women's Rural Development Societies (WRDSs) have been formed in the District Secretariats around the country. They are state initiated and the most common form of mobilisation of women. They consist of 100 members per society, on average, and work within a Grama Niladhari division. Of the many Community Based Organisations (CBO)s functioning in the North and East the 'Madar Sangams' have been successful in mobilising women.
Given their unique position within the community, they should be further capacitated to identify, design, implement and monitor projects while conducting gender awareness programmes for both women and men in the community. The WRDSs generally consist of strong women and they should strive to participate in local governance structures so that their voices are heard in the decision-making processes. Every effort must be made to drive these societies to ensure women are able to participate in decisions that affect their lives.
More importantly, WRDSs are good entry points to bring in the language issue and through this avenue, introduce peace building, equal opportunities, inclusivity and similar principles to the grass roots of women, thereby addressing the concepts laid down in 1325. These areas can then be worked on through leadership building and other skills building with WRDSs which can in turn become a useful resource and lead to the creation of a pool of women peace-builders.
The Ministry of Child Development and Women's Affairs has conducted several awareness raising programmes on teenage pregnancy, reproductive health, gender based violence, women's empowerment in Jaffna, Batticaloa, Vavuniya and in other parts of the North. There are plans to open an elders' resource centre in Vavuniya to provide resources, counselling and welfare facilities to elders.
The Ministry of Women's Affairs is tasked with appointing and overseeing Women Development Officers (WDOs). 256 WDOs have been appointed to different Divisional Secretariats islandwide. The long term plan is to have a full cadre of 309 WDOs to serve the country. WDOs are specifically dedicated to working for women's empowerment. They are trained on issues of domestic violence, CEDAW, gender and gender-based violence. They are appointed through the Ministry of Women's Affairs and their terms of reference are broad and defined.
Relief sisters have been appointed by the Ministry to Trincomalee, Batticaloa and Jaffna and there are 100 relief sisters islandwide. Their terms of reference are similar to those of WDOs.
Mediation Boards are an alternative dispute resolution mechanism established in every Divisional Secretariat of Sri Lanka in 1988. They solve minor problems within the community. More women could be mobilised to serve as mediators in the Mediation Boards. Further, a module on UN Resolution 1325 introduced into the training programme followed by mediators will improve the sensitisation and awareness of women's issues in the local decision-making process.
With the cooperation of Sri Lankan women's groups, the government adopted the Women's Charter in 1993. The Charter is a non-binding policy document that maps out a set of objectives for the Sri Lankan state in the area of gender relations. The Charter has been incorporated into the Schedule of the Women's Commission Bill, a Commission that has within its mandate, powers to investigate into violations of women's rights. What is now needed is for the Charter to be reinforced through the passing of the Bill into Law.
The State has shown interest in working with war widows, female single headed households and military widows. These women can be helped further with assistance to rebuild their lives, gain livelihood options and other basic amenities. They must also be empowered so that their voices are heard in the development drive taking place in the conflict affected areas.
Livelihoods are considered the most important issue in post-conflict Sri Lanka. The Giritale consultation held in 2010 recommended the following to strengthen livelihood options for women: skills training in non-traditional occupations for women; the Presidential Task Force in the Vanni to have a Gender Advisory Team; create networks for exchange and sale of seeds and farm produce among women's groups working in agricultural and fisheries sectors; supporting traders in the north and east to carry out business and to travel and engage in trade and commerce outside of the north and east; and develop credit and loan services that will correspond to the specific needs of women in resettled communities and that will give them access to the material and financial resources they need to build up their livelihoods.
Systematic approach to trainings and workshops on Resolution 1325, coupled with ensuring that gender concerns are taken into account in all aspects of nation building, including rebuilding and reconstructing communities and societies with provision of life chances for women in every sector means that women would be included and given space to voice their opinions; and most importantly create the realisation that women can and indeed must contribute substantially in a post war context. It is increasingly being realised that women can play an important role in structuring the very nature of peace. They can bring about change at local level through diverse means. What they require is to be given the opportunity and space to do so.

Just a note about the i7 – 2600K it will only support PCI-e 2.0 not 3.0 not really a big problem but if the replacement board works out to solve your booting up issue then it would still work out ok.
Posted 09 January 2014 - 18:56
Going into bios, MIT, and setting PCIE to Gen 2 fixed the issue. I guess I cant run PCIE 3.0 with i7-2600K processor. After 4 hours of troubleshooting the issue is now fixed
Good that you solved that but really this should be auto downgrade to PCI-e 2.0 (If the MB is wanting the CPU PCI-e to run at 3.0) without you making that change but you should check if its running at x16 with this:

Airbus' military A400M airlifter is to delay deliveries by at least six months with a "risk of a further slippage of up to a half year", according to an EADS statement.
Deliveries were originally scheduled to start in October 2009. The delays will affect A400M deliveries to both European and other customer nations.
The statement said: "A400M deliveries are now expected to start six months later than initially planned with a risk of a further slippage of up to a half year."
EADS cited causes including "slow progress in engine development, which stands on the critical path to achieving first flight, schedule overruns in the systems development, and a flight test programme that differs significantly from that of commercial Airbus aircraft."

Terry Venables: For goodness sake Arsene Wenger, buy Arsenal some stars on transfer deadline day!
Published: 01 September 2014
Updated: 15:49, 01 September 2014
The former England boss has his say on Arsenal, insisting that Arsene Wenger must bring in two more players for the Gunners to compete.
For goodness sake, Arsene Wenger, go the extra mile tonight.
Arsenal have so much going for them, excellent players such as Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Santi Cazorla and Aaron Ramsey but, as always seems to be the case, they're still two players short of greatness. It's the same shortcomings as last year and they need to learn from Chelsea.
Jose Mourinho saw his Chelsea side were close so he brought in those extra key players who can change the fortunes of a team.
By bringing in two extra players, Arsene would not only give himself invaluable cover against unexpected injuries, he'd also be bringing in extra competition. Suddenly his key players will be looking over their shoulders and going the extra mile to keep their places. Liverpool and Brendan Rodgers were bold in buying Mario Balotelli from AC Milan, and it's those gambles that make the difference in the Premier League.

April 7, 2014 – The Education Writers Association is pleased to announce the winners of the 2013 National Awards for Education Reporting, honoring tireless reporting, compelling storytelling, trenchant criticism and sterling analysis produced by print, radio and online media outlets across the country.
The 72 honored entries hail from a diverse array of media outlets that range from three-person newsrooms operating on a shoestring budget to legacy outlets with hundreds of reporters. More than 260 entrants submitted roughly 430 entries in 26 categories.
View a full list of winners
First-place winners are eligible for the Fred M. Hechinger Grand Prize for Distinguished Education Reporting, whose winner will be announced at an awards banquet May 18 during EWA's 67th National Seminar. All winners will be honored at the May 18-20 conference at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.
This year's contest saw the addition of new categories recognizing data reporting and visualization as well as analysis and commentary by education experts, advocates and thought leaders.
"Recognizing high-quality coverage is one of the most important services we provide at EWA, and we are thrilled to congratulate this year's crop of honorees," said Caroline Hendrie, EWA's executive director.
Some winning entries brought fresh approaches to explaining longstanding education problems while others shed much-needed light on emerging trends, overlooked populations, or little-understood issues. Winners displayed the crusading spirit of watchdog journalism, chronicling everything from the questionable results of high-priced initiatives to the rise and fall of wayward leaders. Honorees told moving stories, such as that of a violence-plagued community in California and the struggle of a Florida girl with terminal cancer to graduate from high school. Many entries showcased the innovative use of embedded video and photography, as well as exceptional writing and exhaustive editing. In all these stories, the judges rewarded reporters for the sources they cultivated and the rich images they conjured.
The reporting contest, an EWA tradition stretching back five decades, was independently judged over two rounds by 33 current and former newsroom editors and reporters. No judge reviewed an entry submitted by his or her current or recent employer.
The judges are: Donna Blankinship, The Associated Press; Howard Blume, Los Angeles Times; Daarel Burnette, Chalkbeat Tennessee; Michael Alison Chandler, The Washington Post; Kim Clark, Money Magazine; Martha Dalton, Public Broadcasting Atlanta; Laura Diamond, Georgia Institute of Technology (formerly of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution); Carole Feldman, The Associated Press; Kent Fischer (formerly of The Dallas Morning News); Steve Friess, Michigan State University (formerly of Politico); Bill Graves, formerly of The Oregonian; Cathy Grimes, The Daily Press (Va.); Joe Grimm, Michigan State University; Alyson Klein, Education Week; Holly Yettick, University of Colorado (formerly of Rocky Mountain News); Christina Littlefield, Pepperdine University (formerly of Las Vegas Sun); Kit Lively, University of Northern Colorado (formerly of The Dallas Morning News and The Chronicle of Higher Education, past president of EWA); Kathleen Manzo, Education Week; Julia McEvoy, KQED (Calif.); Beth Miller, The News Journal (Del.); Nancy Mitchell, Education Commission of the States (formerly of Rocky Mountain News); Timothy Pratt, freelance (formerly of Las Vegas Sun); Brock Read, The Chronicle of Higher Education; Erin Richards, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel; Lauren Roth, Orlando Sentinel; Mackenzie Ryan, Florida Today; Nirvi Shah, Politico; Sam Skolnik, formerly of The National Law Journal and Las Vegas Sun; Scott Smallwood, The Chronicle of Higher Education; Brian Smith, MLive.com (Mich.); Miles Smith, formerly of WJLA-TV (D.C.); Ty Tagami, The Atlanta-Journal Constitution; Laura Tillman, freelance (including The New York Times, Pacific-Standard, The Washington Post and Reuters).
Print or online journalism publications with 25 or fewer FTE newsroom staffers. Written sources of education news, such as dailies and news blogs, are eligible.
Print or online journalism publications with a FTE newsroom staff of 26 to 99 employees. Written sources of education news, such as dailies and news blogs, are eligible.
Print or online journalism publications with a FTE newsroom staff of more than 100 employees. Written sources of education news, such as dailies and news blogs, are eligible.
Print, online or broadcast journalism outlets that cover exclusively education, maintain editorial independence and are not published or produced by advocacy groups, professional organizations, higher education institutions, alumni periodicals or think tanks. There are no size restrictions.
Entries may include spot news, feature segments, special programs, newscasts, streamed online stories, or podcasts for television or radio journalism organizations that maintain editorial independence and are not produced by lobbying groups, professional organizations, educational institutions, alumni periodicals, advocates or think tanks.
Print and online magazines and weekly newspapers that are editorially independent and not published by advocacy groups.
A story or series that features exceptional use of data gathering, analysis and/or data visualization produced by an independent print, online or broadcast journalism outlet.
Eligible entries are produced by journalists and appear in independent news outlets of any size. Such outlets are not published by lobbying groups, professional organizations, educational institutions, alumni periodicals, advocates, advocacy groups or think tanks.
Content written or produced by advocacy groups, professional organizations, higher education institutions, alumni periodicals, think tanks, and individual advocates, academics, policy analysts, activists and bloggers are eligible.

Listen to the story.
Unlike in the movie "Field of Dreams," just building after-school and summer programs offers no mystical guarantee that students "will come."
Access is a huge issue – not just transportation to the programs, although that is a challenge. The types of programs offered, if students perceive them as having value, and whether students and their parents even know what's available in their communities are things to consider.
Tuition caps, budget cuts and wayward priorities when it comes to funding higher education — oh, my.
It's time for states to decide the value of higher education. Or rather, it's time for state leaders to decide if they value higher education enough to fund it properly.

Allen Turner recently recalled the day his grade school teacher said it was time to learn about the U.S. Constitution, beginning with its famous preamble. But Turner, now a video game designer and professor at Chicago's DePaul University, already knew it. So did all his classmates.
The sweeping new school choice law in Nevada — or more precisely, educational choice law — has attracted significant national media coverage and analysis. Nevada public school families can apply to spend more than $5,000 in state aid per child on private school tuition or other educational expenses each year, including tutoring, online courses, textbooks, and even home-schooling.

Ask Fish & Game Questions and Answers
Ask Fish & Game
Displaying 1 - 50 of 137 questions
Ask Fish and Game is for general questions. Not all questions are answered. Urgent questions should be directed to your nearest office.
Some answers change over time; please take note of the "answered-on" date.
Q: Alabama rig
A: When fishing in Idaho, it doesn't matter if you have an "Alabama rig" or gear names after any other state - you can only have 5 hooks per line under your direct control. I will say a "qualifying yes" to your question on lures. Provided the lure isn't scented, they would be legal. Scented lures ...
A: One thing you need to know is once steelhead leave saltwater and move to freshwater they can no longer utilize/digest food. With that said, they still seem to have a feeding instinct and will still strike at baits or other fish but have no way to convert that food into body sustinance. In the ...
Q: Will steelhead spawn early this year and are they going to continue to be spawning in Mar/Apr on the Salmon
A: The ony difference between a "newby" biologist and a bald biologist is the "newby" is arrogant enough to predict how fish and wildlife will respond to changing environmental conditions. I'm a "gray-haired" biologist so I'm not going to give you a definitive answer to your question. What I will ...
A: The normal start-up for steelhead trapping is late February and early March so trapping has just recently started. Some programming needs to be finished so our web reports can link (in near-real-time) to the database containing the hatchery information. We hope to have that up and running as soon ...
A: Your question is very broad and there are well over 100 papers out there on trout to draw on so generalizing is difficult. Under most conditions, Catch-and-release mortality or "hooking mortality" of trout is thought to be relatively low in most instances. There are a number of summary ...
A: In most years, the dates you selected would align with a peak in steelhead movement up the South Fork Clearwater River. However, the warmer weather we are experiencing this winter has got the steelhead moving early. In fact, based on the number of PIT tagged steelhead we are detecting moving up ...
A: Daily bag limits can be found on page 45 of our 2013 - 2015 Fishing Rules booklet. In 2014, we did an emergency bag limit reduction be cause we were going to be short of brood fish returning to Dworshak and Clearwater Fish Hatcheries. That's probably where the confusion started. 2015 will be a ...
A: We recently answered a question very similar to yours. Please let us know if this doesn't answer your question.
A: Idaho's license fees are set by legislation. The two licenses (3 Day Salmon/Steelhead and the Daily Fishing) are different types of licenses and have different fees as per the Idaho Code 36-416. Therefore, the daily fishing license purchased for two days (no steelhead permit) would be the $12.75 ...
A: The short answer is, "no." Centain species of game fish, which trout are defined in Idaho rule 13.01.11. , can not have the heads and tails removed while in transit. You also must be able to show how many fish, the length and species of fish you have in possession while in the field. Idaho ...
A: Late in the fall it is possible to see a high proportion of unclipped steelhead in the catch. That's mostly a function of the harvest of fish with clipped adipose fins and not the marking at the hatchery before the fish were released. Most of the hatchery steelhead returning to the Clearwater this ...
Q: Steelhead
A: You can still catch steelhead near Riggins but fishing could be slow. As water temperatures cool, the fish are less active. A Sammy and shrimp work well this time of year - especially in the afternoon when the sun is on the water.
A: Chances are very slim that we will stock more steelhead in the Boise River in the fall 2014/spring 2015. We/Idaho Power can't operate the trap in the winter once we have freezing conditions and we don't want to remove all the hatchery steelhead below Hells Canyon Dam where anglers fish throughout ...
A: When returns are numerous enough a portion of the adult steelhead trapped annually at Hells Canyon Dam are released into Hells Canyon Reservoir. During the 2014 fall trapping season those releases occured weekly throughout November and totaled approximately 840 fish. The releases into Hells Canyon ...
A: Yes, fishing has been good in the Lewiston, Riggins, and Snake River areas. I was in Salmon, Id. the first week in November and they were picking up a few, fly fishing. We've had enough steelhead enter the Hells Canyon trap that we relocted 300 to the Boise River for anglers. Typically, we don' ...
Q: fishing
A: If you've been a resident of Idaho for 6 months - and have proof; you qualify for a resident fishing license. If you live out-of-state or still claim residency in another state then you need a nonresident fishing license or short-term (1 - 4 day) fishing license. If you want to fish for salmon ...
A: At this time in mid-October we are expecting that some steelhead will be released into the Boise River but can't say how many. The trap at Hells Canyon Dam will go into operation about October 27; trapping earlier than that when water temperatures are warm is not good for the fish. Watch the news ...
A: I remember the college days and trying to make ends-meet. Everything seemed more expensive back then and I really had to scrutenize all purchases to make sure I was getting the most out of my hard-earned money. Still, when I look back, my hunting and fishing license allowed me recreational ...
A: The 1-fish 28" size limit was just for last steelhead season. Rules and bag limits have reverted back to those posted in the 2013 - 2015 Fishing Rule booklet.
A: It's not always NOAA who determines if a fish caught in a fishery is listed under the Endangered Species Act. NOAA does assess the potenital impacts of proposed fisheries and determines what levels of takes in fisheries are allowable (do not cause further harm to the listed fish). Once an unmarked ...
A: If you are referring to fall Chinook, you will see a record run of fall Chinook in Idaho in 2014. Fall Chinook have recently arrived at Bonneville Dam in record numbers - but they are about two weeks later than expected. That same surge of fish are moving up the Columbia River and many are ...
A: The distribution of fall Chinook salmon in Idaho is very different than that of spring/summer Chinook and steelhead. Fall Chinook are found only in the Snake River downstream of Hells Canyon Dam and the lower portions of the Clearwater River. A few do venture a short distance up the Salmon River ...
A: Hi everybody, I've been getting bombarded with questions regarding this year's Steelhead runs so I figured it is about time I give you all an update. I've been holding off until I had enough information to give you something meaningful. So here you go. For steelhead there are typically two ...
A: Steelhead do run to the Pahsimerio/Challis/Salmon area in the late fall. Typically, we start to receive reports of steelhead being caught in the upper Salmon in late October/early November. Most people fish the lower Salmon River in the fall (October in Riggins is my favorite fishing time) and ...
A: Ok, nonresident children (under 14 years of age) can fish for free if they are with a licensed adult (resident or nonresident). All fish caught and reduced to possession count towards the licensed individual's daily bag limit. The only exception is, a nonresident youth can buy their own salmon ...
A: We do give away spawned-out salmon carcasses at our hatchery spawning locations - including Pahsimeroi. This practice actually started in the 1970's. We quit giving carcasses away once we started injecting adult salmon with erythomycin phosphate. Now that we've discontinued the injections, we ...
A: What you've heard is a fish-story. Only a salmon permit can be used to fish for and keep Chinook salmon from the Boise River. Don't throw away your steelhead permit you bought this spring. If we stock steelhead in the Boise River around Thanksgiving time, it will be good for those stocked fish.
A: The best thing to use is moline. It's a tough mesh material that holds the tuna (and other secret ingredients). Cut the moline into 3" by 3" squares, lay-in your bait, and gather the four corners. Tie the top of the ball off with thread or a fine string using a couple of half-knots to secure ...
A: Actually, we've studied going to a 365-day license versus a calendar-year license and we've talked with a number of states that have gone the 365-day route. There are pros and cons to both. For Idaho, one of the complicating factors is our salmon and steelhead fisheries. These are seasonal ...
A: The person who hooks (sets the hook) the fish must record it on their permit.
A: This is not as easy of question as you might think and there are no specific rules on when or where you must clean your fish. You can actually remove the internal organs and gills anytime after reducing your fish to possession. If you are in a boat, it's ok to throw the fish parts back into the ...
A: I measured a Gamakatsu 3/0 octopus hook and its gap width is just under 5/8ths inch, thus can be used for salmon and steelhead fishing. A 4/0 would have a gap that is greater than 5/8ths inch. The measurements listed here are specific to Gamakatsu octopus hooks. A different brand or different ...
A: Yes, you can purchase consecutive 3-day salmon steelhead licenses. To make this work at a vendor, have them issue the first 3-day license, close the transaction, and then start a new transaction to issue the second licese with the new dates.
A: You can use up to 5 barbless hooks per line while fishing for salmon or steelhead. That probably won't work in the Little Salmon River for Chinook fishing but you might be able to utilize extra hooks while trolling for steelhead.
A: Fish released from native American hatcheries aren't required to have their adipose fin clipped - but they do clip a portion to help differentiate the released fish as "hatchery origin." The reason some of the hatchery fish are not clipped when they are released is to make sure enough adult ...
A: Your question is one asked by many anglers, especially when counts of salmon at the dams are higher but we have to close harvest in parts of the river. You started to answer the question yourself - more fish will return to the Salmon River basin than the Clearwater River basin this year. As of May ...
A: There are a couple of important points to address in your questions. A desired outcome of managing the salmon fisheries is for all areas open to fishing have successful and meaningful fisheries. The one-fish bag limit is one tool that can be used to achieve that. More importantly, the one-fish bag ...
A: We can relate to your concerns. Being on the upper-most reaches of the Columbia River system, we watch Idaho salmon and steelhead being harvested by anglers, commercial fishermen, and tribal members in the ocean, Washington, and Oregon - with no way for us to influence the number of fish being ...
A: Depends. It is illegal to fish for steelhead when the steelhead season is closed - even catch-and-release. You can use a spey rod as long as you can pass the "red-face" test when you encounter an officer. You must be able to convince the officer that you are fishing for cutthroat or rainbow ...
A: Basically, you only have to replace the items you need to (and want to). Before July the deer and elk tags have not been designated yet; when you decide the specific zone or type of tag you want you can go to any vendor to get a deer or elk tag. All vendors can issue these along with salmon and ...
A: You cannot purchase a second permit, but you can get a duplicate at any vendor.
A: You are correct, IDFG does use salmon and steelhead permit fees to pay for toilet services in anadromous fishing areas. We try to time the delivery of porta-potty toilets in spring with the arrival of larger numbers of anglers, so we are not spending a lot of money when few anglers are using the ...
A: Thanks for the question regarding Potlatch River steelhead. In the Big Bear Drainage, which included the West Fork of Little Bear and Big Meadow Creek, steelhead should be in the middle of spawning right now. Our past surveys have shown that they typically start spawning after water temperatures ...
A: Assuming you are interested in using a bow or spear to catch fish; here are the details: Spear Fishing in Idaho You must have an Idaho fishing license if you are 14 or over. Archery and Spear Fishing is defined as: Fishing with a bow and arrow, crossbow, spear or mechanical device, excluding ...
A: No other permit is required. More information: Spear Fishing in IdahoArchery and Spear Fishing is defined as: Fishing with a bow and arrow, crossbow, spear or mechanical device, excluding firearms. This type of fishing is permitted only in the taking of bullfrogs and unprotected nongame fish and ...
A: Thanks for your interest in Idaho steelhead and the trapping data at our hatcheries. For the past two years we have been able to provide an automated daily update from each of our hatcheries from a centralized IDFG database. In the last year we have been in the process of transferring our database ...
Q: steelhead
A: The weir will be installed the week of March 17 with trapping set to being on March 24.
A: The returns of large B-run steelhead to the Clearwater River in the 2013-14 return are less than in recent years and in October 2013 the Department asked the Idaho Fish and Game Commission to implement a conservation measure to decrease the likelihood of a broodstock shortfall for hatcheries in ...
A: October can be one of the best times to fish in the Salmon Region. Steelhead are starting to show up in the Salmon River, with anglers having the best luck downstream from the town of Salmon, ID. Anglers may also catch rainbow trout, westslope cutthroat trout, bull trout, and mountain whitefish in ...
A: We don't clip the adipose fin on hatchery produced rainbow trout unless they are part of a research project. We do clip the adipose fin on hatchery produced anadromous (ocean-going) salmon and steelhead raised in our hatchery system. This is so anglers can distinguish them from wild chinook and ...

Quick View
Gres de VosgesA rich riff on traditional Munster, which has been made since around 850 A.D. when local monasteries developed the cheese with regular beer baths in their cellars. This ultra-meaty version, produced by Fromi, is a tad lighter in flavor than traditional, hair-curling Munster, and it's washed and aged in the cellar of a vineyard, much like its forebears. Under its straw-yellow exterior that's marked with a telltale fern leaf, dig into its semi-soft, tacky paste and spread on crusty rye bread with smoked ham and pickles for a holy, hearty repast—don't forget to pour a mug of Trappist Ale to swig along side it. Read More
Quick View
Tomme CrayeuseThe cheese is set to age in a warm, moist cave that speeds ripening, developing a thick, creamy outer layer. The flavor is complex: lactic, mushroomy, and earthy blending into an elevated essence of buttered toast. The stunning yellow-mottling on the rind develops naturally as a result of cellulose in the cows' diet. Read More


text: Hey yall! I posted earlier and said I would post a picture of a recent test(instead of taking a picture of a test 2 hours later lol... sorry I didnt know a test could change). ANWAYS! So I took this about 20 mins ago and I took the picture within 2 mins of pee'ing on it lol... So its definitely accurate. I thought a preggers test results would be a darker pink though... or is it depending on the test that I take?

This is what bugs me about bandwagon media:
http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=453538" rel="nofollow">http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=453538
The article headlines that the future of the present Habs team looks bright yet spends almost the entire text outlining the vast number of ufa and rfas the present team has which almost assures a large scale roster change. So is the future bright or uncertain then for the present team? Yeesh....
The implication is that the team is young and full of promise when in reality the average age of the their playoff roster was actually older than the B's, LA, and Chicago. They loaded up on vets over the summer and at the deadline (Parros, Briere, Vanek, Weaver, Murray, Weise, etc). And what rooks did Therrien really play in the post-season? Beaulieu in limited mins when Emelin went down, Galy when he came back from injury and Tokaski because he had to. Yet the article in its headline (and espoused by many of its fans) implies that they are in the middle of a "re-build" when nothing could be further from the truth.
Same crap when they went to the ECF on the shoulders of Halak a few seasons back and how did that work out? Media band-wagoning at its worst.

Here are the building blocks and the capabilities that result from a consolidated identity management system. Most agencies are still wrapping up work on the first step of issuing credentials.
Consolidating access control yields big payoffs
Access granted: NIH opens doors to medical resources
6 ways unified identity management pays off
Goals for top-notch identity systems
1: Preparing the People
Identity Proofing -- Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 set agencies to work conducting background investigations of government employees and contractors as part of the identity management process. As of Dec. 1, 2009, background checks had been verified or completed for 2,755,682 government employees (59 percent), according to the idmanagement.gov Web site.
Credentialing Process -- Collectively, agencies have enrolled and issued computerized personal identity verification (PIV) cards to the majority of their employees (86 percent) and contractors (72 percent).
2: Preparing the Systems and Applications
Centralized Directory -- A centralized directory for identity data serves as a key piece of the ID management foundation and interacts with many other components. A number of departments and agencies, including the Agriculture, Homeland Security and Justice departments and NASA, have launched plans to combine multiple existing directories into one central resource at their respective organizations.
Integrating Applications – Software applications, Web sites and physical security controls, such as building entrances, must be configured to work with PIV cards and the centralized identity directory. Development priorities are typically geared toward high-risk, high-payback systems. Ultimately, agencies might choose to implement a single sign-on for multiple applications or groups of related applications.
Enabling Laptop and Desktop PCs -- User hardware must have smart card readers. The Agriculture Department is using smart cards on 55,000 laptop PCs and plans to cover its desktop computers by the end of the fiscal year.
Connecting to Trusted Partners – Agencies' centralized identity systems will interface with trusted networks, such as the Open Identity Exchange, so that agencies can accept credentials issued by other public and private entities for interagency collaboration and citizen access to government services.
3: Streamlining Identity Management
Provisioning/Deprovisioning -- Centralized account management reduces the cost of maintaining separate systems and provides a comprehensive way to add, modify and delete accounts when employees are hired, change jobs or leave the government.
Auditing and Reporting – Agency officials can use the consolidated system to see who has accessed particular systems and verify policy compliance.
Program Management or Governance Office -- Integrated identity management can be an arduous and ongoing undertaking. A program manager or office can help guide the launch of the identity management solution and oversee the schedule and budget. The governance team keeps key stakeholders informed about key milestones.

The Message audio Bible is now available on Bible Gateway! Click to learn more.
The word so rendered, (2 Samuel 12:31; 1 Chronicles 20:3) is probably a threshing-machine. The verb rendered "to harrow," (Job 39:10; Isaiah 28:24; Hosea 10:11) expresses apparently the breaking of the clods, and is so far analogous to our harrowing--but whether done by any such machine as we call a "harrow" is very doubtful.
