  UNITED STATES INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY - WHO WE ARE   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
NGA was established October 1, 1996, as the National Imagery and Mapping Agency, by the National Imagery and Mapping Agency Act of 1996.
NGA serves as the programmatic and functional manager for the end-to-end geospatial intelligence process, which includes the cycle of activities for tasking imagery collection, processing raw intelligence data, exploiting imagery intelligence, and disseminating information and knowledge to consumers.
NGA supports national policy objectives by committing substantial geospatial analysis resources to the priorities identified in Presidential Decision Directive 35, especially as it relates to diplomatic and regional security policy, arms control and treaty monitoring activities, counterterrorism, nonproliferation, chemical and biological warfare, and information operations activities.

There are also 2 special governed districts: the capital Bangkok (Krung Thep Maha Nakhon in Thai) and Pattaya, of which Bangkok is also at a provincial level, while Pattaya is part of Chon Buri Province.
The Thai language is Thailand's national language, written in its own alphabet, but many ethnic and regional dialects exist as well as areas where people speak predominantly Isan or Mon-Khmer languages.

 An Analysis of The National Governors Association’s Proposals For “Short-Run Medicaid Reform”, 10/14/05
NGA also proposes specific improvements in how the rebate is calculated and how the rebate program is carried out, which would help respond to problems that have been identified by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) and the HHS Office of Inspector General.
NGA also proposes to permit states to reduce the current Medicaid benefit package, limiting it to a narrower set of benefits that is “actuarially equivalent” to the benefits provided under certain private or state employee insurance programs that operate in the state.
NGA’s long-term care proposal would treat a person’s home as an asset in determining his or her eligibility for Medicaid, which would likely force some seniors to sell their homes to qualify for Medicaid coverage for long-term care.

An event that was instumental in shaping Ngati Apa as a distint tribe was warfare between the peoples of Nga Wairiki and Whanganui.
Because he was such an important leader, members of Nga Wairiki expected that the Whanganui people and their allies would seek vengeance on a scale that could destroy them.
Although the people of Ngati Apa had been guaranteed ongoing rights to snare birds and catch eels across the entire Rangitikei-Turakina block, they were powerless to stop settlers from felling the bush and constructing drains.

 Spy agency casts more watchful eye - The Boston Globe
The NGA copied all its digital data on Iraq -- from hilltop vegetation to chemical signatures of smokestack emissions -- onto 500-gigabyte hard drives and installed them in military command posts, updating the data daily.
But the NGA's domestic role is growing, especially in supporting the FBI and other federal agencies in what the Department of Homeland Security designates as national security events.
Since June, NGA teams have worked at the Group of Eight summit of leading industrial nations in Georgia, President Reagan's funeral in California, the Republican and Democratic national conventions, the Sept. 11 memorial service in New York, the opening of the UN General Assembly, and the Super Bowl.

 Statement by New Zealand at the Second World Assembly on Ageing; Madrid, Spain; 11 April 2002
By 2050, the proportion of older people in our population will have doubled to 32%; a change made more significant by the increase in ethnic and social diversity of the older population.
However, people are not just living longer, they are also living healthier and can contribute many more years to society.
The New Zealand Government recognises that there are many opportunities to be realised as future generations of older people are expected to be healthier, more skilled and educated, and remain more active in the workforce than their predecessors.

 Statement by Robert Greenstein, Executive Director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, on the National ...
Certain other NGA proposals, however, likely would cause harm to low-income people who rely on Medicaid, including low-income children, working-poor parents, and low-income people who are elderly or have serious disabilities.
NGA suggests its cost sharing increases should take effect, and then be evaluated to see if they are causing harm.
Another NGA proposal — to allow states to scale back the medical services that Medicaid will cover for children and some other Medicaid beneficiaries — also is likely to compromise access to needed care.

As we learned by sponsoring in-depth research on graduation rates by the right-of-center Manhattan Institute and the left-of-center Urban Institute, states were using a hodgepodge of inadequate measures to determine graduation rates.
