Testing accommodations are commonly defined as a change in the way that a test is administered or responded to by the student tested and are intended to "correct" for distortions in scores caused by a disability. Some examples of accommodations are providing students extra time to complete the assessment; giving the test in an isolated room or providing accessible furniture; allowing oral responses to replace written responses; and providing assessment in large print or changing the language or mode of presentation. Often these accommodations are provided in various combinations, sometimes called "packages." Accommodations are meant to reduce the impediments facing students with disabilities so that when they take assessments they may fully show what they know and can do.

Style: What this rescue King Charles lacks in teeth (the reason her tongue hangs out), she makes up for in taste.

There is one comment
Not sure when this was posted, but I'm surprised to see that there are no comments yet. Perhaps all of us a re still a little shell shocked by that loosing streak. SO, our minor league system was panned as being one of the worst, then we turned out some prospects and for a while last year it seemed we were looking like so many people were wrong, and that we did have a good system.
So here we are in 2011, and i review the top 41, and once again I'm feeling like that list feels pretty thin, especially when there doesn't really seem to be anyone who is close to helping out. Then i went back and looked at the 2010 list, and realized that Ike, Josh, & John Niese are all starters for us in 2011.
Lastly, it's looking like we're going to be getting a big influx of talent into the minors as we prepare to deal away Reyes, Beltran, and anyone else we can.

Kitchen Consciousness
A kitchen offers almost endless opportunities to practice energy efficiency. For instance, pans with perfectly flat bottoms use energy more effectively on electric range elements than pans with rounded bottoms do. Boiling water in a covered pan heats faster and uses less energy than it does in a non-covered pan. This holds true for everyday cooking, too, and allows cooking at lower temperatures.
When possible, use a toaster oven instead of a traditional oven to expend just one third of the energy; likewise, microwave ovens use half the power of traditional ovens. Pressure cookers and microwave ovens save energy by significantly reducing cooking time, and meals made in slow cookers use much less energy than traditional cooking methods. Preheating any oven shouldn't take longer than five to eight minutes; any longer probably means using more energy than is needed. While it's difficult to resist checking the progress of whatever is being baked, avoid doing so because each time the door opens, your home gets a blast of heat and the oven needs to work overtime getting back to its target temperature.
New and Replacement Fireplaces
When building a traditional fireplace, install ducts around it so cool room air is drawn in and circulated around the firebox. Warmed air is ducted back into the room by convection.

MOOSIC, Pa. – There are baseball lifers, and then there's someone like Gary DiSarcina.
In short, the 45-year-old is a man who's worn many hats since retiring 11 years go. He's enjoyed successful stints in three totally different realms with all roads leading back to the game that saw him carve out a 12-year major-league career. Thanks to experiencing life as a manager, television analyst and trusted front-office contributor, DiSarcina can speak comfortably on a number of topics.
He also feels that his transition back to the dugout will be a relatively smooth one thanks to the broadness of his post-playing workload.
"I learned a lot about the TV side when I was at NESN … production, behind the scenes, how to speak on the air," said DiSarcina, who served as a pre- and post-game analyst for the network. "Being removed and seeing the game from the stands and on TV, you see the game and it looks much easier."
DiSarcina made it a priority to make sure that his involvement in baseball would allow him to maintain a strong family presence. Yet as he went from the TV side to managing in Single-A Lowell (2007-09) to spending last season as a special assistant to Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim general manager Jerry DiPoto, DiSarcina saw his stock rise.
When he was named Pawtucket's field manager last December, it was understood that the ball club was getting someone who could handle the hustle and bustle of Triple A. Such credit goes to his ability to avoid being pigeonholed as strictly a coach who throws batting practice or someone who sits in a boardroom surrounded by baseball brainiacs."
"There are so many behind-the-scenes facets that go into being a manager. You have to be a people person and be able to go out there and communicate with no agenda to the players," DiSarcina said. "If the lines of communication with the front office aren't open, it becomes a very difficult relationship that can splinter an organization. You have to be open-minded and flexible.
"At least in my opinion, you can't be so stubborn that it's your way or the highway," he continued. "Players aren't the same as they were 10 years ago. They're different and they go about their business in a different way."
See DISARCINA, page C6
When DiSarcina piloted the Spinners, his concerns included making sure that the players were clean-shaven and arrived at the ballpark on time. Though he's in the honeymoon period with the PawSox, it didn't take him long to realize that he's the caretaker of a more mature and understanding group of ballplayers.
"These guys [meaning the PawSox players] are so close to the big leagues that the call could come any time," said DiSarcina. "If someone is hurt or traded and they're going about their business correctly and (Red Sox manager) John Farrell calls to ask about someone, I'm going to be honest and say whether a guy is ready or not."
DiSarcina acknowledges that by returning to managing, he's come full circle.
"The first two or three innings (of Thursday's season opener against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre) were going by real fast, then you're able to relax a bit," he said. "I feel like I've been in a classroom for the past five or six years and just learning different aspects of the game. In the dugout is where I feel my best – being around the guys and being honest with them."
Last April saw the Red Sox designate onetime pitching prospect Michael Bowden for assignment and work out a trade that didn't come down the pike until a week after he was removed off the 40-man roster.
It's quite possible that a similar fate could be in store for Mauro Gomez, the slugging first baseman who one day could be the answer to the trivia question, "Whose spot on the 40-man did Jackie Bradley Jr. take?" Reached Friday, the agent for Gomez noted that if the Red Sox are unable to trade his client by Monday, the next step entails being placed on waivers for a 72-hour period.
"They have to start the waiver process by Monday. Whether they do so before Monday is (Boston's) option. It's their call," said Steve Schneider, president of Elite Sports Group. "If the trade or passing through waivers doesn't occur, they have the power to outright him to Pawtucket."
The winner of the 2012 International League MVP after hitting .310 with 24 home runs for the PawSox, Gomez learned of his fate one day before the Red Sox were slated to open the 2013 season. Since the transaction took place at a time when teams, both at the major- and minor-league level, were applying the finishing touches to the active roster, all involved parties have been forced to sit and patiently wait for something to arise.
In the midst of playing wait-and-see, Gomez has been working out in Pawtucket. Schneider noted that teams from Japan sought permission to talk to the Red Sox about possibly acquiring Gomez before and during spring training. Such overtures were rejected by Boston.
"He hits in the cage and does what he can to keep himself ready to play, but he's in limbo," said Schneider. "Assuming there's a resolution for him in any direction, the better it is. I would think that the sooner the resolution from a Red Sox standpoint, the better it is."
The PawSox played Friday's game shorthanded as neither Alex Hassan or Brock Holt were available. Hassan was a late scratch prior to Thursday's game due to a strained calf while Holt fouled a pitch off his ankle. DiSarcina said that both players are considered day-to-day.

TUPPER LAKE Big Tupper Ski Area on Mount Morris is still not open for skiers despite the 8 to 12 inches of snow its gotten so far. Managers say they need at least another foot of snow soon, or they could miss one of the biggest weeks of the season.
We would love to be open next week when the kids are off of school, said James M. LaValley, chairman of the Adirondack Residents Intent on Saving our Economy. Every ski area hopes to do a good amount of its business at Christmastime. It could be 30 to 40 percent of their years revenue.
Bill E. Mozdzier, Big Tuppers trails manager, said that although its unfortunate, he doesnt think the ski area will get the snow it needs in time for the upcoming holiday.
I dont think well be open for Christmas, he said. We had to stop selling season passes because we dont do snowmaking anymore and we just couldnt guarantee a full season for people.
Since Big Tupper is run by ARISE volunteers, Mr. LaValley said, theyre not as concerned about making money as they are about bringing more people to area businesses, restaurants and hotels.
If we break even its a huge success, he said. For us, its more about stimulating the local economy.
After deciding to reopen this season, the group held several fundraisers to help with the cost of insurance, grooming, utilities, supplies and other smaller expenses. Mr. Mozdzier said it is always looking for more volunteers to help during the ski season. Mr. LaValley said ARISE has more than 200 volunteers signed up so far to help run the skiing on weekends and holiday Mondays. When it gets enough snow, it would like to be open Fridays through Sundays and follow the school vacation schedule, he said.
Were still just a tad shy, he said. But the snows falling now, so well see.

Comments about Women's MicroTherm® StormDown™ Hooded Jacket:
I love this jacket. It is light and easy to move in and has an area to keep your under arms cool when you are more active plus I get the benefit of down without the bulk. The jacket works really well at repelling water as I was able to test it immediately in a few downpours in Kansas, Illinois and Maine and to my surprise my coat didn't get soaked and it kept me warm. If you are looking for a toasty warm jacket I think you will need something with a higher fill number. It will also work well with another coat as an under layer when it is super cold.
Note: There is not a string or a way to cinch the hood.

Comments about Women's MicroTherm® StormDown™ Hooded Jacket:
I bought the jacket in a medium tall as I read in reviews it ran small. I usually wear a small in EB, but the medium tall fits great without being too tight. (I am 5'8" about 135lb.) I bought the purple jacket and love the color. The jacket is light and has been warm in the cooler spring temperatures (around 40). I am not sure it would be warm in any colder temps without a fleece layer underneath. It is just what I wanted for a cooler Minnesota spring.

Comments about Women's MicroTherm® StormDown™ Hooded Jacket:
Purchased to take on a trip. Quality control needs to be improved. Feathers leaking through fabric& seams. Down leaking from gap on hood binding since sewing missed on the hood. Recycled ripstop polyester cover is thin & really recycled, uneven threading shows holes. Worn 2 times only once without a hard shell and have not even gone on the trip. Did I get a lemon?

Energy industries association criticizes plans for reform of Germany's renewable energy law
January 23, 2014 | Michael Ravenscroft
Germany's energy-intensive industries association EID (Berlin) has strongly criticized the planned provisions for the self-generation of electricity, as laid out by the federal government in the draft for a reform of the country's renewable energy law (EEG). The proposals will create an additional burden for energy-intensive industries compared with international competition, according to Utz Tillmann, an EID spokesperson and managing director of the German chemical trade association VCI (Frankfurt). "The long overdue EEG reform is on the way at last, but...

By Charles Armstrong, Special to CNN
Editor's note: Charles Armstrong is the director of the Center for Korean Research at Columbia University. The views expressed are his own.
Anyone who has followed North Korean affairs for the last several years (or the last two decades) could have predicted North Korea's defiant response to the U.N. Security Council resolution this week condemning North Korea's rocket launch last December and strengthening international sanctions against Pyongyang. But it should also be clear by now that while carrots only occasionally deter North Korea's provocative behavior, sticks – whether in the form of sanctions or threats of military action – only make North Korea defiant and more bellicose.
In 1994, the first time the United States proposed taking the North Korean nuclear question to the United Nations, North Korea announced that any impositions of U.N. sanctions would be considered "an act of war." In 2006, and again in 2009, North Korea responded to U.N. sanctions not by giving up missiles and nukes, but ratcheting up the rhetoric. In the past, promises of security and economic aid have persuaded Pyongyang to freeze or reduce its missile and nuclear programs: North Korea halted its plutonium program for eight years following an agreement with the United States in 1994, adhered to a voluntary moratorium on missile tests from 1998 to 2006, and shut down its Yongbyon nuclear reactor in 2007 as part of a multilateral agreement. The record may not be terribly encouraging, but carrots do occasionally work.
Much has been made of the fact that North Korea this week directed its threats specifically against the United States (before issuing a warning to South Korea earlier today), calling America its "sworn enemy" and claiming that its would "target" the United States with its weapons. But this too is nothing new. North Korea has for years denounced America's "hostile policy" toward Pyongyang and has long insisted that its nuclear program is designed to defend the country against an American attack. North Korea's ability to strike American territory with missiles is questionable, and North Korea almost certainly lacks the technological capability to mount a nuclear weapon on a missile. Neither side is willing to back down, but threats and sanctions are unlikely to resolve the key issues dividing them.
More from GPS: North Korean dance begins again
For the past year, the North Korean regime has been focused on internal power consolidation under the leadership of Kim Jong Un. Part of Kim's legitimacy rests on claims of a robust national defense, including nuclear weapons. North Korea seems determined to be recognized as a nuclear power, something the United States and other countries have said repeatedly is unacceptable. But it seems there is little anyone can do to prevent North Korea from developing its nuclear program, including conducting a third nuclear tests (after the ones in 2006 and 2009) in the coming weeks or months. The latest sanctions announced by the United Nations may look robust on paper, but without enforcement – above all by China, North Korea's most important economic partner – sanctions have no teeth. So far, Chinese enforcement of U.N. sanctions has been tepid at best, as China prefers to keep North Korea economically viable rather than risk instability on its border.
Kim Jong Un has also talked about improving North Korea's moribund economy and hinted that he would move the country in the direction of reform and opening. Google CEO Eric Schmidt's visit to Pyongyang earlier this month could point the way for North Korea to come out of its shell and join the global economy. The visit was criticized by the U.S. State Department, and doesn't seem to have produced anything of significance so far. But the very fact that North Korea allowed the visit suggests Kim Jong Un is interested in bringing modern technology to his country, to improve the state of the North Korea economy through connections with the outside world.
The dilemma, though, is that North Korea can only embark on serious reform from a condition of what it considers absolute security, in which neither the leadership nor the country as a whole is threatened by hostile outside forces. Unfortunately, the quest for security and the desire for economic improvement have been in contradiction for some time. A genuine opening could unleash political and social changes that threaten the legitimacy and stability of the regime, while the path of security through nuclear deterrence and missiles have led time and again to confrontation and renewed isolation.
So, where do we go from here? The United States and the United Nations have little choice but to impose sanctions in response to North Korea's actions, which clearly violate earlier sanction conditions. But it is hard to see how such sanctions can deter a determined and defiant North Korea, especially if the sanctions are not rigorously enforced. The best we can hope for is that the latest confrontation will finally bring all sides together – including both Koreas, the United States, China, Russia, and Japan – to solve this issue.
Diplomacy, not threats or sanctions – and certainly not military action – is the only viable path to resolution.
Kim Jong-un isn't crazy at all. He is simply playing the crazy card, his motivations are anyone's guess. An opinion that seems plausible is that he will get some concessions in exchange for backing off of his current stance. Its a game that he seems to be winning. He seems to love life and all of its pleasures too much to risk suicide.
The US and the UN have lost all semblance of moral authority for tolerating preemptive war by the US and Israel and the willful disobedience by Israel to obey repeated UN resolutions, including Resolution 242. Kim is not stupid nor crazy; he knows what happened to Saddam and Gaddafi and what is being done to Syria Pakistan, Yemen, etc. If I lived in a neighborhood of thugs, I would want the best weapon possible to hurt them REAL bad if they came after me. What does Kim have to lose? His life, his country? Ask Iraq. Ask Afghanistan. Ask Libya.
China had better get this little dictator under control quickly. China is invested heavily with the west and if they want that to continue they will fix this. If they drag their feet and the Little Dictator get further out of control China is going to start seeing the effects where it hurts, finically. North Korea is Chinas problem and the world should be watching to see how they handle it. Allowing North Korea to continue to threaten and attempt to intimidate while developing a better nuke is not going to work for the test of the world. Making one Korea, getting rid of the Norths military and bringing the two countries together would go along way for China.
So weak illegitimate leaders can do whatever they want? NKorea is never going to open up willingly.
What a weak column. If the South Korean people are willing to fight let them beat the hell out of the North. The only diplomacy is calling on the North to dissolve.
I'm not suggesting that N. Korea should be allowed to threaten the US with nuclear weapons and as some have already suggested, the threat of military action against N. Korea would certainly rattle the Chinese. However, we need to remind ourselves that N. Korea also shares a small but common border with Russia. (See any atlas) which requires us to be smart enough to think about unintended consequences.
Why are you so afraid to talkt to them directly or secretly – then again maybe US has, but
George broke the agreement. You can't blame the North Koreans for being isolated and paranoid. When dealing with the US there is ample reason.
Wikipedia. Article on Jimmy Carter:
"Carter negotiated an understanding with Kim Il-sung, but went further and outlined a treaty, which he announced on CNN without the permission of the Clinton White House as a way to force the US into action. The Clinton Administration signed a later version of the Agreed Framework, under which North Korea agreed to freeze and ultimately dismantle its current nuclear program and comply with its nonproliferation obligations in exchange for oil deliveries, the construction of two light water reactors to replace its graphite reactors, and discussions for eventual diplomatic relations.
The agreement was widely hailed at the time as a significant diplomatic achievement.[80][81] In December 2002, the Agreed Framework collapsed as a result of a dispute between the George W. Bush Administration and the North Korean government of Kim Jong-il. In 2001, Bush had taken a confrontational position toward North Korea and, in January 2002, named it as part of an "Axis of Evil". Meanwhile, North Korea began developing the capability to enrich uranium. Bush Administration opponents of the Agreed Framework believed that the North Korean government never intended to give up a nuclear weapons program, but supporters believed that the agreement could have been successful and was undermined.[82]
i love how everyone on here has an opinion of what we should do as a nation....last time i checked North Korea has more man power than we do and followers who worship their leader as a god..the only plausible solution without the loss of mass casualties would be to bomb the daylights out of the country...but that is not only politically incorrect but morally wrong to kill the same human lives that we will send aid too in the wake of a disaster...the real answer is there is no right or wrong answer to the problem..you're damned if you do and damned if you don't...as much trading as we do with China they still are like the big brother of NK, China needs NK for the simple fact that they do not want American troops on their doorstep..but they also do not want a conflict on their border either...China has major interest in both NK and America(due to the fact that they pretty much own us in alot of ways...and you never want to break something you own until you are reimbursed what was invested into it and then some) and NK gets a majority of their imports from China as well..although im sure they are getting tired of the rhetoric, actions will most likely not be taken to do anything to cripple the already frail economy of its neighbor..which leads me back to my point that foreign policy is a Catch-22 of sorts due to the fact that their are so many variables that go into every decision one must make when looking at the picture as a whole...as nice as it would be to just squash the problem there is a 99% chance that any military action will open up a can of worms that could not be predicted realistically until it were to happen...any prediction of what could happen is simply speculation because NK is such a wild card there is no way one could predict the outcome of military conflict because bombing alone will not fix the regime and mindset of its people..one simply can look at iraq and Afghanistan to see that things are not always as easy as they seem..you can win every single battle but not win the war .and putting troops in NK would lose alot of american lives needlessly because their military might although not as tested as the US is nothing to scoff at..that being said if their is any such action taken by NK to destroy the US or its allies(which we are OBLIGATED to protect)then military action MUST we can not let something happen that could be prevented, but rhetoric is rhetoric saying and doing are two different things..saddam used alot of rhetoric towards the US but was never a legitimate threat ...the best solution is to just make sure we are winning the information war and ahead of the curve with technology at the forefront whether its espionage or hacking of computer systems(the same way china hacks us on a daily basis) that way if the threats are LEGITIMATE then we take swift action out of necessity with safety being the main priority due to them leaving us no choice...because bombing a country is fair game if your own citizens and allies are in danger...but to do it because of the rhetoric of a few leaders who will probably survive the blast anyways while the ones we would be killing have no say in the matter is wrong on so many levels...that is unless we the american people are in danger..then our leaders are left with no choice..because although all life is sacred it is the duty of our elected officials to do any and everything to protect us AS WELL AS OUR MILITARY which means not bringing them into a conflict that is unjustified
I feel sorry for all the brainwashed N Koreans supporting little fat Kim Jong Un's insane asylum regime. He is worst than his father and grandfather combined.
you know the asias have bina shotten stuff like that be4 the gun an boomb ifin its elegal 4 kim jong to do that way mow thats the way me ,.pnm,. jeffroe an gomer benna sifering it,s so what up mow kim mow,.pnm,.ps lets grt it on,.pnm,.
Comments are waist the world and the people of the world is doing what ever they want ,not listening to their family their friends their is no Ethics left on religion values people talk nonsence about Islam , christians, jews what they see is oppertunity USA is a World Defaulter in every sense and their planning they only think HOW HOW to take control ONCE it was Russia ,they are so weak now that they cannt even raise finger US has cut them in all fronts Chechniya they should and can have stopped the fighting in one day and the other places you can see by yourself TODAY .
What is the cause of making the world so divided? how to enable every country live in a balance of power?
North Korea won't change until China does. It is a buffer state between South Korea and itself. Therefore, we should concede in advance that China will continue to control it in return for its invading it to end the current regime. The USA should sign a treaty with China about this...
Spoken like a rationalizing dove. Looking at the photo, by the way, I couldn't tell right away who the adult was...
Stupid is doing something 1000 times , getting the same result 999 times and expecting to get a different result on attempt 1000. We need a bigger stick to beat North Korea with. They've eaten all of the carrots.
Because they are most belligerent when America has a war going on elsewhere. And at this time America is forced to use the carrot.
Sticks won't work with NK. Judging from their pudgy potentate, especially sticks with food impaled on them.
Diplomacy will never work with N.K. Silly op-ed.
Why sticks don't work with North Korea:
Because we haven't used them yet.
Thanks for your post. I would like to say that the first thing you will need to complete is find out if you really need credit repair. To do that you must get your hands on a duplicate of your credit score. That should really not be difficult, because government necessitates that you are allowed to get one free copy of your actual credit report every year. You just have to request the right individuals. You can either browse the website for the Federal Trade Commission or contact one of the major credit agencies directly.
The last statement in this article is naive. Diplomacy will not work with North Korea. This is a regime that puts generations of families in concentration camps, and lets its people starve. Diplomacy hasn't worked with them in the past. What they need to be offered is nothing. This regime has been living off of western aid for too long now. The rest of world lets this regime exist while it puts its citizens into concentration camps, lets them starve, pilfers the aid that is sent for the citizens, and grinds down their spirits until they are parodies of human beings. It's time for a change of tact; Diplomacy has failed with North Korea.
What's needed is No Diplomacy with North Korea and a solution in which the burden does not fall on China.
After the second world war the UN was set up to ensure that situations like the Holocaust never happened again. Situations like the Holocaust have happened again, though often in shorter time frames, and in war zones. The concentration camps in North Korea are different. The UN has known about them for years through survivor reports and through satellite technology, yet nothing is done to stop the concentration camps existing. The current North Korean regime is a blight on human nature and it is pathetic that the world stands back and allows it to continue to commit atrocities on the North Korean people.
Obviously the author is just so naive to even think that to deal with a dictator, all you need to do it to tell him "ya good boy, don't do it again", then expects that your words work miraculously. Btw, why this has to do with the US? Just stop all the food and they will beg to open up, sooner or later.
Romans 5:8-"God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." www . theeternalwisdom . com
Seek God through Lord Jesus while He still can be found, follow Him while the door of grace is still open to everyone. Please do not wait until you are on your death bed or until the end of the world to call upon His name. He made it very clear, who ever believes in the Son of God will not die eternally, but will inherit immortality. If you desire life, go to the source of life. Faith is the key to all things.
Sticks do not work anywhere,neither in North korea nor in Iran. West was always wrong in thinking that sanctions can make a country change its course. Incentives are the only peaceful method to solve the problems.
And incentives don't work in terms of doing what really needs to be done in North Korea. Freeing and protecting its citizens. Any incentives simply reinforce the position and privileged power of the ruling class in Pyongyang. The only openness Un is interested in is in the kind of openness that gets him more money, power, and luxuries. Targeted sanctions help some but not much. But more so than incentives that get the North Korean powers to lull the west to sleep while consolidating their domestic power and extending their rule by decades
Why do we bother with anything this idiot says? Don't even cover this Fat boy.

What a lovely service this man is providing, taking the girlish screams upon himself, transforming them into laughter on the fly. I managed to play Amnesia for a whole ten minutes before I was too scared to go on. Watching it scare someone else is much easier on the heart.
The very best bits are where he gets so scared he slips into Swedish. I could listen to Swedish screaming all day long and it would never get old.
Not sure what that says about me. Just watch the silly man yelping.

5 U.S. Code § 8147 - Employees' Compensation Fund
(a) There is in the Treasury of the United States the Employees' Compensation Fund which consists of sums that Congress, from time to time, may appropriate for or transfer to it, and amounts that otherwise accrue to it under this subchapter or other statute. The Fund is available without time limit for the payment of compensation and other benefits and expenses, except administrative expenses, authorized by this subchapter or any extension or application thereof, except as otherwise provided by this subchapter or other statute. The Secretary of Labor shall submit annually to the Office of Management and Budget estimates of appropriations necessary for the maintenance of the Fund. For the purpose of this subsection, "administrative expenses" does not include expenses for legal services performed by or for the Secretary under sections 8131 and 8132 of this title.
(b) Before August 15 of each year, the Secretary shall furnish to each agency and instrumentality of the United States having an employee who is or may be entitled to compensation benefits under this subchapter or any extension or application thereof a statement showing the total cost of benefits and other payments made from the Employees' Compensation Fund during the preceding July 1 through June 30 expense period on account of the injury or death of employees or individuals under the jurisdiction of the agency or instrumentality. Each agency and instrumentality shall include in its annual budget estimates for the fiscal year beginning in the next calendar year a request for an appropriation in an amount equal to the costs. Sums appropriated pursuant to the request shall be deposited in the Treasury to the credit of the Fund within 30 days after they are available. An agency or instrumentality not dependent on an annual appropriation shall make the deposit required by this subsection from funds under its control during the first fifteen days of October following the furnishing of the statement. If an agency or instrumentality (or part or function thereof) is transferred to another agency or instrumentality, the cost of compensation benefits and other expenses paid from the Fund on account of the injury or death of employees of the transferred agency or instrumentality (or part or function) shall be included in costs of the receiving agency or instrumentality.
(c) In addition to the contributions for the maintenance of the Employees' Compensation Fund required by this section, the United States Postal Service, or a mixed ownership corporation as defined by section 9101 (2) of title 31, or any other corporation or agency or instrumentality (or activity thereof) which is required by statute to submit an annual budget pursuant to or as provided by chapter 91 of title 31, shall pay an additional amount for its fair share of the cost of administration of this subchapter as determined by the Secretary. With respect to these corporations, agencies, and instrumentalities, the charges billed by the Secretary under this section shall include an additional amount for these costs, which shall be paid into the Treasury as miscellaneous receipts from the sources authorized and in the manner otherwise provided by this section.

For a small, landlocked country of which almost 25% is lakes and rivers, Uganda certainly packs in the places of interest. Mountainous, forested Bwindi National Park is where to go in Uganda for gorilla treks but the country is also home to large savannah reserves, lowland rainforests and enchanting lakes which - in combination - make for one of the biggest wildlife experiences in Africa.
A typical African capital with a compact, high-rise centre surrounded by sprawling suburbs, busy Kampala is Uganda's commercial, political and logistical hub but also one of East Africa's most laid-back and friendly cities.
Uganda's only international airport is set next to Lake Victoria in Entebbe 35kms away. This small town serves as the country's main entry and exit point and many visitors will spend a night here or in Kampala before and after their Uganda safari.
Don't be put off by its intimidating name: you'll be led into Bwindi by naturalist guides and trackers and the reward is worth the effort - this majestic forest is where to go in Uganda for your gorilla trekking experience. Spend an hour with a gorilla family, observing these gentle giants in their pristine rainforest habitat before slipping away and back to your comfortable jungle lodge. A gorilla trek is wet, humid, muddy and tough but the experience is absolutely extraordinary.

With the Nile River neatly bisecting Uganda's largest park, you'd expect a wide range of animals at Murchison Falls and you'd be right. It's where to go in Uganda for classic big game species such as elephant, buffalo, lion and hippo and with a bird count of nearly 500, Murchison Falls also boasts chimpanzees and colobus monkeys in its forests.
The piece de resistance however is a boat cruise to the spectacular falls themselves where the thundering Nile is squeezed through a 7-metre cleft in the Rift Valley Escarpment.

Combining easily with Bwindi Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park is Uganda's most popular and most accessible savannah reserve and is home to elephant, buffalo, leopard, numerous antelope species and the famous tree-climbing lions of the Ishasha Plains.
Take a boat cruise on the Kazinga Channel to spot hippo and crocodile and don't forget your binoculars: with a staggering 600 recorded bird species, Queen Elizabeth NP is one of the world's premier bird watching destinations.

Rapidly becoming a must-do destination in Uganda, Kibale Forest offers visitors an accessible and enlightening insight into life in a tropical rainforest. Large mammals aren't so easily seen but the clouds of dazzling butterflies and gorgeous forest birds more than make up for it, and besides, Kibale is most famous for its primates. Go on guided chimpanzee treks in the majestic forest and see how many of the other 12 primate species you can spot.
View all Kibale Forest National Park accommodation.
Halfway between Uganda's capital and entry point Kampala and the gorilla trekking forests of the south-west lies Lake Mburo, a perfect overnight stop-over for travellers making their way between the two destinations.
Although the heavyweights such as elephant are missing, the great mix of wetland and woodland habitats makes for a wide range of mammals and birds and Mburo's tranquil atmosphere and soothing views provide welcome relief after a tough journey.

Buzz: Pittsburgh To Host Winter Classic
Yesterday, Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported that the Pittsburgh Penguins will host the Washington Capitals in the Winter Classic next January 1st.
…Crosby vs Ovechkin, people aren't tired of that yet. Of course that is a great matchup and the two will probably meet in the playoffs again in what will be another epic series.
The Pittsburgh Steelers will need to adjust their schedule to have the game happen. The NHL needs two weeks to build the rink for the game to be played.
…Yankee Stadium has a College Bowl game so that is ruled out but the same type of deal with the Jets and Giants could mean that a Rangers Devils game could be possible, but then again, Rangers Devils? It could be a little while before the Rangers host one of these.

Once thought to be extinct, this unique subspecies of gorilla "resurfaced" in the 1980s and is found only along the southern section of the Nigeria-Cameroon border. Preferring habitats of low- and mid-elevation rainforest and montane forest, the remaining Cross River gorillas live in roughly 11 subgroups dispersed amongst the region's highland areas. One of four known subspecies of gorilla, Cross River gorillas most closely resemble western lowland gorillas but differ in the dimensions of their skulls and teeth. Researchers have also recognized a number of socio-ecological distinctions.
Like other gorillas, the Cross River gorilla reproduces slowly, with females giving birth only once every four to five years. Since their estimated numbers hover at fewer than 300 individuals, this critically endangered species depends on conservation efforts and law enforcement for its survival.
We have also led a series of international workshops to address this gorilla's conservation. Following the recommendations of the 2007 Regional Action Plan for the Conservation of the Cross River Gorilla, WCS is committed to improving legislation and law enforcement as well as to investigating how ecotourism could support local conservation projects.
WCS has established educational outreach programs for several communities living in and around Cross River gorilla habitat. These programs inspire local people to work alongside our conservationists, whether by supporting community-managed protected areas, as in Nigeria's Mbe Mountains, or through joining monitoring initiatives, such as the gorilla guardian network in Cameroon. Additionally, WCS is seeking to generate more sustainable livelihoods and encouraging hunters to transfer their skills to further gorilla research and conservation. These community activities promote the area's traditional regard for Cross River gorillas.
To help Cameroon stem the dangerous trade in bushmeat from forests to lucrative urban markets, WCS partners with the country's Ministry of Environment and Forestry and the CAMRAIL national train network—in the past, a common means of transporting large volumes of wildlife.
For the first time in history, camera traps captured footage of Cross River gorillas—the rarest of the great apes. Field conservationists devoted to their study rarely spot them, so our colleagues in Cameroon's Kagwene Gorilla Sanctuary were floored by footage they discovered last May. Watch as eight gorillas stroll through the woods, and be sure to look out for an incredible demonstration of power by a silverback.
Rare camera trap footage of Cross River gorillas reveals candid behaviors of these rarest of apes as they make their way along a forest path in Cameroon's Kagwene Gorilla Sanctuary.
In a big boost for wildlife, 23 new species conservation projects will receive funding from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, the World Bank, and the Global Environment Facility.
A high-tech study of Cross River gorilla habitat finds that the critically endangered ape's range is more than 50 percent bigger than previously documented. By protecting habitat corridors between the gorilla's populations, conservationists may be able to help their numbers grow.
WCS conservationists and their partners announce a plan to protect the Nigeria-Cameroon chimpanzee. Restricted to pockets of forest within the two countries, the subspecies is the world's rarest chimp.
Ymke Warren, gorilla conservationist and friend, will be missed by her colleagues.
The International Primatological Society grants their 2010 Charles Southwick Award to WCS's Joseph Mulema for his work to protect Cross River gorillas in Cameroon.
African giant snails are giving local villagers big options when it comes to food and livelihoods, and gorilla poaching is not one of them.
WCS releases the first high-quality footage of Cross River gorillas in the wild, produced by Germany's NDR Naturfilm after weeks spent in Cameroon's Kagwene Gorilla Sanctuary.
Gorilla population surveys, conducted by WCS, have helped the government of Cameroon create a new national park, which will protect more than 600 gorillas and other threatened species, such as chimpanzees, forest elephants, buffalos, and bongo.
With support from WCS, the government of Cameroon creates the world's first sanctuary exclusively for the Cross River gorilla, the rarest of the four gorilla subspecies.

Every April, we make our annual trek to the desert for the summer's most hotly anticipated music festival, Coachella, which expanded this year to span two weekends! In between dancing to Calvin Harris' catchy beats at the Sahara Tent and taking in Florence + The Machine's breathtaking set at the Outdoor Stage, we took time to appreciate some of the festival\'s most well-dressed attendees. As usual, we spotted a slew of laid-back summer outfits on music-loving stylephiles from Diane Kruger to Whitney Port. Though the weekend was unusually cool, the weather simply inspired creatively layered outfits, especially in the evenings, and certainly didn't diminish the style factor during the festival's first round!
Jamie Chung
We adore Jamie Chung's dressy-meets-casual ensemble at A|X Armani Exchange and T-Mobile's Neon Carnival. Though the actress' statement Samanca necklace and slightly shimmery Armani Exchange Pleated Maxi Skirt ($69) exude glamorous flair, Chung dresses the look down by expertly layering an army jacket over a denim button-down and sheer tank. The result is a visually intriguing getup that's both cozy and completely on-trend for a summer music fest!
Lea Michele and Lauren Conrad
Both Lea Michele and Lauren Conrad soaked up the sun at the LACOSTE L!VE soiree. Michele's poolside attire consisted of the label's Oxford Shirt Dress ($190) over a Red Crossback Bikini ($110), as well as Gaimo wedge heels. Conrad, on the other hand, opted for a breezy top paired with Kenny Guadalajara's High Waisted Baja Stripe Shorts ($138) in Striped Yellow. She accented her summer-ready look with Juicy Couture's Straw Boater Hat ($58) in Natural, round sunnies, and flat sandals.
Arizona Muse
We loved the down-to-earth feel of Arizona Muse's simple Coachella getup at Mulberry's BBQ at the Parker Palm Springs. In a plain black t-shirt, jeans, and boots, the model looked comfortable and ready to take on a jam-packed day of performances. A straw hat and Mulberry's Del Rey bag in Deer Brown ($1250) (in addition to armfuls of bracelets and wristbands!) complete Muse's ready-to-rock ensemble.
Kate Bosworth
As a Coachella veteran, Kate Bosworth knows exactly how to pull off stylish comfort for the fabulous (but rather exhausting) weekend! On Day One at the Mulberry Firepit Party, she selected the brand's Panel Dress in Multicolour Ditzy Daisy Crushed Cotton, high-top Mulberry Sneakers in Black Studded Leather, and the Mini Lily Bag with Tassels in Ink Blue Heavy Suede (all from the F/W 12 collection), an outfit ideal for traversing the vast festival grounds. Bosworth also smartly shrugged on a versatile cropped black jacket to combat the wind chill at night!
Whitney Port
Whitney Port's neon-infused ensemble transitioned seamlessly from day to night when the reality star/designer arrived at the Neon Carnival on Day Two. A vivid Rebecca Minkoff topper layered over Insight's Little Trouble Knit ($82) in Citrine offers an eye-catching color combo, while Whitney Eve's The Bitty Skirt (available in July) maintains Port's cool summer vibe. She accented her look with a bright Rebecca Minkoff bag and low-heeled Ash Jalouse Suede Booties ($235) in Camel, perfect for dancing the night away in the California desert!
Emma Watson
Rompers are always a safe bet for warm weather, as Emma Watson demonstrated at Mulberry's BBQ bash. The actress was appropriately attired in the label's tiger-print playsuit from the F/W 12 collection, cropped black cardigan, and Mulberry's cross-body Mini Lily Bag with Tassels (also from the F/W 12 collection). Watson's excellent choice of accessories, such as a floppy felt hat, gold belt, and Joie Strippy Flat Sandals ($255), lent her overall look a downtown cool vibe.
Lily Collins
Always the sophisticate, Lily Collins channeled her signature elegance at Mulberry's BBQ. The actress donned the label's Belted Neely Dress ($865) in Blue Stripy Straw Silk and Stitched Bow Ballerina Flats ($415) in Summer Khaki for a look that's ultra feminine, yet still laid-back enough for a pool party! A studded ink blue Lily Bag with Tassels bestowed just the right amount of tough-girl edge to her outfit.
Dree Hemingway
Dree Hemingway is clearly hip to the bare midriff trend in Dolce & Gabbana's Cotton Chili Pepper Print Top ($995, 877.70.DGUSA) and matching Skirt ($1095, 877.70.DGUSA). At the Burton Snowboards pool party at the Ace Hotel, the blonde bombshell also showed off her affinity for clashing patterns by teaming the quirky chili pepper-print separates with Dolce & Gabbana's colorful floral purse. A pair of on-trend Isabel Marant wedges offers the perfect finishing touch to Hemingway's fun outfit!
Diane Kruger
Leave it to Diane Kruger to assemble a totally chic yet relaxed ensemble at the LACOSTE L!VE pool party. The actress kept cool in the brand's Fashion Show Short Sleeve Color Block Polo Dress ($300), but tempered the frock's sporty vibe with a brown cross-body bag and worn-in booties.--Tiffany Tse
