States Prepare Smallpox Vaccine Plans States were supposed to submit their plans for the first stage of smallpox vaccinations by Monday to the federal government. The variation partly stems from the fact that states are each making their own guesses about the chances of smallpox reappearing more than 20 years after it was declared eradicated, said Dr. Rex Archer, director of the Kansas City, Mo., health department. States were asked to explain who would be offered the shots, timelines and locations for delivering them and a plan for ensuring those at particular risk of severe side effects do not get vaccinated. www.ph.ucla.edu /epi/bioter/statessmallpoxvac.html   (879 words)

Front Line The parole board stated that because the prisoner had been convicted of a rape in North Carolina in 1975, he was a risk to society. After the first parole board hearing the prisoner filed an appeal to the full board stating the records cited by the parole board were inaccurate, that he had never been to North Carolina, and that he had never been charged, arrested, or convicted of any rape in North Carolina. The Ohio Attorney General's Office replied to the prisoner's complaint stating that he had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted because the Ohio Adult Parole Authority had no duty to maintain accurate records. www.innocentinmates.org /love/frontline/records.html   (1236 words)

Implications of Security Patterns Among Developing States   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) While these states have not been able to free themselves from foreign dependence, they have been able, for a variety of reasons, to increase their bargaining leverage with the developed states to acquire the weapons they want. To the degree that the social and political fabric of oil-importing states is measured by the strength of these economic indicators, the Arab oil-exporting states in particular have enhanced their bargaining leverage with the developed user nations to acquire arms, technology transfers, and political concessions. The capacity of some developing states to influence the kinds of regimes that will govern abroad and, as in Indochina, to install a government or leadership group in power is another mark of the growing importance of developing states. www.airpower.maxwell.af.mil /airchronicles/aureview/1982/sep-oct/kolodziej.html   (8585 words)

United States Commission on International Religious Freedom: USCIRF Events: 2000 Hearings: Hearings on Religious ... It is probably the most strategic front because it covers the area closest to Khartoum and the area that is sort of in a position to affect the corridor between Port Sudan and Khartoum. It is unheard of for a sitting Secretary of State to meet with the rebel armed opposition of a government with whom we have diplomatic relations. But I believe it is important for the United States to support the opposition to this Government in Khartoum, and we need to do it even if we have to go it alone. www.uscirf.gov /events/hearings/2000/february/panel4/02152000_winter_oral.html   (1593 words)

President Akayev has publicly stated his willingness to engage with the opposition and is planning for a constitutional transfer of power at the end of his term in 2005.

CQPolitics.com - 'Front-loading' States Bump Forward Presidential Nominating Process Ever Earlier The “front-loading” of presidential primaries and caucuses — with states scrambling to move their events earlier and earlier in the election year calendar, practically stumbling over each other in pursuit of influence — has become so ingrained in the nominating process that it’s hard to remember when it wasn’t so. State Rep. Roberto Alonzo, a Democrat from Dallas, recently filed legislation to advance the Texas primary date. State Rep. David Rivera, the bill’s sponsor, said that his state should play a larger role in the nominating process because of its diversity. www.cqpolitics.com /2007/02/frontloading_states_bump_forwa.html   (1977 words)

National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) By complicating the access of such states and institutions to the U.S. financial system, this powerful new tool was intended to give the U.S. government additional leverage to persuade foreign countries and foreign financial institutions to improve their anti-money laundering regimes and otherwise cooperate with U.S. efforts to curtail terrorist financing. Within the UN system, implementation efforts associated with Security Council Resolutions 1373 and 1377 are helpfully focused on measures intended to assure the technical ability of member states to comply with their international obligations relating to the suppression of terrorist financing. But inexplicably, they have not been used against states or foreign financial institutions that are source or transit countries for the financing of terrorism. www.thememoryhole.org /911/commission_site/www.9-11commission.gov/hearings/hearing1/witness_wolosky.htm   (4507 words)

Army regulations state female soldiers are banned from units "which are assigned a routine mission to engage in direct combat or which collocate routinely with units assigned a direct combat mission." The briefing states the Army does not have enough male soldiers to fill the FSCs if they were to collocate with combat brigades and thus required to be men-only. washingtontimes.com /national/20041213-124619-5345r.htm   (1080 words)

Heading Right » Blog Archive » States Form The Front Line On Immigration Frustrated with Congress’s inability to pass an immigration overhaul bill, state legislatures are considering or enacting a record number of strongly worded proposals targeting illegal immigrants. States bear the costs of social-welfare programs that illegals use, and the citizens of these states have grown tired of waiting for the flood of costs to recede. If the states could feel confident that the federal government had ended the deluge of illegal entries into the US, they would not feel the pressure to act outside of the federal system to protect against the rapidly-increasing costs of illegal immigration. headingright.com /2007/06/25/states-form-the-front-line-on-immigration   (604 words)

Al-Ahram Weekly | Opinion | From front line to periphery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11) This procedure is in line with pan-Arab custom, which insists that Jews originating in Arab countries are Arab Jews and, like Jews of any origin, they and their descendants -- like their ancestors -- are the rightful citizens not of occupied Palestine but of the countries from which they hail. And even though the front-liners are signing on for the territory and not the financial rewards, periphery states nevertheless seem to resent their reaping those rewards and then preaching abstinence and national duty to everybody else. The desired outcome of an inter-Arab dialogue -- in the form of a serious discussion between Arab cordon and periphery states -- is that once arrangements are made, nobody beyond the front line should feel compelled to normalise for any reason, even after all the front-liners have completed their withdrawal agreements. weekly.ahram.org.eg /2000/482/op5.htm   (1571 words)

US S Africa wars While the U.S. and South Africa were applying various pressures against Angola, including substantial and overt military pressure, General Vernon Walters, a former deputy director of the CIA and now a U.S. special envoy, made numerous trips to Luanda to persuade the Angolan Government to agree to the withdrawal of Cuban troops. U.S. officials stated that Zimbabwe's sponsorship of a resolution condemning U.S. intervention in Grenada and its abstention on a U.S. sponsored resolution after the Korean airliner incident "played a big part" in the decision. The objective was to re build the cordon sanitaire of buffer states around South Africa which had been destroyed by revolutions in Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. www.thirdworldtraveler.com /US_ThirdWorld/US_SAfrica_wars.html   (3785 words)

Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front The JKNLF was an offshoot of the Plebiscite Front, a forum allegedly launched at the behest of the late Sheikh Abdullah, who was Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir and President of the National Conference, at a time when he was at loggerheads with India's Union Government. After the Sheikh-Indira Accord was signed, militant, pro-independence elements within the Plebiscite Front walked out to continue with the movement to secede from India.

NATO Speech: President Emil Constantinescu's: address at the "Front-line States Meeting", 25 April 1999 Systematic support must be lent to the maturation of the civil society, encouragement (material included) to the cooperation among the non-governmental organisations in the whole Southeast European area, starting with Yugoslavia. As time is running, I would like to propose that starting this year, each summit from now on - the United States-European Union, the G-8 summit, and so on - should have a panel on the Southeastern reconstruction plan, with the participation of the representatives of the countries in the region. In exchange, a joint participation will be able to revive the dignity of the old and noble civilization of the Southeast of Europe so that it may no longer waste its energies in frustration and destructive aggressiveness, but use them in building a common future. www.nato.int /docu/speech/1999/s990425c.htm   (631 words)

GLOBAL ROGUE STATE But consider that the United States used chemical warfare on a far greater scale against Vietnam in the 1960s, and its overall attack on Indochina was as vicious and far more devastating than Iraq's on its local victims. South Africa, which illegally occupied Namibia, and used it as a jumping off place to invade Angola and support Savimibi, and also attacked and terrorized all the other front line states for several decades, was perhaps the number one retail rogue and terrorist state of the last half century. The U.S. was "constructively engaged" with South Africa, and collaborated with it in its support of Savimbi and attacks on Angola and the front line states. www.zmag.org /zmag/articles/feb98herman.htm   (2275 words)
