		LEP individuals may feel uncomfortable revealing or describing sensitive, confidential, or potentially embarrassing medical, mental health, family, or financial information to a family member, friend, or member of the local community.
		If the LEP person voluntarily chooses to provide his or her own interpreter, a recipient should consider whether a record of that choice and of the recipient's offer of assistance is appropriate.
		While the LEP person's decision should be respected, there may be additional issues of competency, confidentiality, or conflict of interest when the choice involves using children as interpreters.

		Recipients should also consider the special circumstances discussed in the guidance that may affect whether a family member or friend should serve as an interpreter, such as whether the situation is an emergency, and concerns over competency, confidentiality, privacy, or conflict of interest.
		However, where a LEP individual has a limited understanding of health matters or cannot read, access to the program is complicated by factors not generally directly related to national origin or language and thus is not a Title VI issue.

		However, owing to the necessarily large diameter of LEP and the constraining distance between Geneva airport and the foothills of the nearby Jura mountains, it was inevitable that some part of the tunnel had to be bored under unfavourable conditions created by the limestone.
		The LEP storage ring is the last accelerator in a chain of five, each of which handles the same electrons and positrons generated on every pulse by the electron gun and the positron converter.
		The present LEP collider, with its energy upgrade and the future programmes of higher luminosity and polarization, is providing and will continue to provide for the physicists of Europe and the rest of the world, a unique and powerful physics tool for fundamental research in the 1990's.

	The Leopold Education Project - LEP Call Toll Free 877-773-2070
		The LEP was developed mainly for use by teachers, although other educational groups and private citizens can benefit from the materials.
		One major premise of the LEP is that Leopold's writings are both sound science and excellent literature, and that they can be used as a springboard for meaningful environmental education.
		The LEP's underlying theory about these controversial topics is that given a supportive classroom climate to study a variety of positions and viewpoints, students will develop responsible environmental values on their own.

	Large Electron-Positron Collider - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		LEP was a giant evacuated ring with a circumference of 27 kilometers built in a tunnel under the border of Switzerland and France.
		At the end of 2000, LEP was shut down and then dismantled in order to make room in the tunnel for the construction of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC).
		As in all ring colliders, the LEP's ring consists of many magnets which force the charged particles into a circular trajectory (so that they stay inside the ring), RF accelerators which accelerate the particles with radio frequency (RF) waves and quadrupoles that focus the particle beam (i.e.

	LEP Guidance
		As a result, the LEP applicant all too often is either turned away, forced to wait for substantial periods of time, forced to find his/her own interpreter who often is not qualified to interpret, or forced to make repeated visits to the provider's office until an interpreter is available to assist in conducting the interview.
		The steps taken by a covered entity must ensure that the LEP person is given adequate information, is able to understand the services and benefits available, and is able to receive those for which he or she is eligible.
		The county has no policy regarding language assistance to LEP persons, and LEP clients are told to bring their own interpreters, are provided with application and consent forms in English and if unaccompanied by their own interpreters, must solicit the help of other clients or must return at a later date with an interpreter.

	DOJ Final LEP Guidance Federal Register Jun 18 2002
		In applying the four- factor analysis, the higher LEP language group populations of the target schools and the frequency of contact within the program with LEP students in those schools, not the LEP population generally, should be used in determining the nature of the LEP needs of that particular program.
		If the LEP person decides to provide his or her own interpreter, the provision of this choice to the LEP person and the LEP person's election should be documented in any written record generated with respect to the LEP person.
		Smaller cities or areas with small LEP populations should still have a plan for serving callers who are LEP, but the LEP plan and implementation may involve a telephonic interpretation service that is fast enough and reliable enough to attend to the emergency situation, or include some other accommodation short of hiring bilingual operators.

		Specifically, whether former LEP students are able to keep up with their non LEP peers in the regular education program, are able to participate successfully in essentially all aspects of the district's curriculum without the use of simplified English materials, and have similar retention-in-grade and dropout rates to those of their non LEP peers.
		Conversely, districts must ensure that LEP students are not improperly excluded from participation in a special education program because of the student's limited English proficiency.
		For example, such steps may include: assessing the student in his or her first language, ensuring that accurate information regarding the student's language skills is taken into account in evaluating assessment results, and comparing results obtained when a part of the assessment is repeated in the student's first language.

		This LEP implements the basic data types of higher-dimensional computational geometry: points, vectors, directions, hyperplanes, segments, rays, lines, spheres, affine transformations, and operations connecting these types.
		This LEP implements the overlay of segments, rays, and lines by a generic sweep method that is based on an extension of affine geometry.
		Given an undirected Graph G with non-negative edge weights, this LEP computes a minimum k-cut; that is a set C of edges such that G\C has at least k components and in addition the sum of the weight of the edges in C is minimized.

	Effect of a Simplified English Language Dictionary on a Reading Test - NCEO LEP Report 1
		However, it was found that intermediate level English proficiency students in the Hmong LEP group who reported using the dictionary in the accommodated condition showed a moderately significant gain.
		Further, LEP students and English as a Second Language (ESL) and Bilingual Education teachers have requested them in testing situations because dictionaries are an accommodation that students use in classes every day and will most likely use throughout their lives (Bensoussan, 1983; Liu, Spicuzza, Erickson, Thurlow and Ruhland, 1997; Quest, Liu, and Thurlow, 1997).
		In addition, an LEP graduation standards specialist at the Minnesota Department of Children, Families and Learning and a bilingual adult member of the ESL community provided advice on cultural background in the development of the test passages.

		The figure on the left shows the Delta-chi2 curve derived from high-Q2 precision electroweak measurements, performed at LEP and by SLD, CDF, and D0, as a function of the Higgs-boson mass, assuming the Standard Model to be the correct theory of nature.
		LEP Higgs Working Group (LEP HWG) combines the results on the direct searches for the Higgs boson at LEP.
		In fact, towards the end of the LEP running in the year 2000, tantalising hints for the direct observation of the Higgs signal, corresponding to a Higgs-boson mass around 116 GeV, have been detected; a mass value well compatible with the constraints derived from the precision electroweak measurements.

	Who's Left Behind?: Immigrant Children in High and Low LEP Schools
		As SASS lacks a measure of immigration status among school children, this analysis uses English language proficiency level (or LEP status) as a proxy for immigrant status, recognizing that some LEP students may be neither immigrants nor their first-generation children, but rather second- or third-generation U.S.-born children.
		Focusing on nationally-representative information about elementary schools, principals, and teachers, the study compares differences between schools with high proportions of LEP students and schools with fewer and no such students to examine potential differences among the schools educating the nation's young.
		The analysis reveals that LEP elementary school students are largely concentrated in a small number of schools: nearly 70 percent of the nation's LEP students are enrolled in 10 percent of its schools.
