	Conscription Summary
		Having completed the initial part of the service as a conscript, the soldier is placed in the reserve.
		Refusing the obligatory military service due to conscientious objection is illegal in Turkey, and punishable with imprisonment by law.
		For example, the Argentinian military service was known as la colimba; the word colimba is a composite word made from the initial syllables of the verbs correr (to run), limpiar (to clean) and barrer (to sweep), as it was perceived that all a conscript did during service was running, cleaning and sweeping.

	Selective-Membrane Platforms
		High-selectivity membrane materials are in an initial growth phase of their life cycle, and competition in developing and marketing new separating systems is increasing in intensity -- driven by the increased industry need for purer process stream inputs and product.
		A membrane is a thin film that separates two phases and selectively allows one or more components of one phase to pass into the other.
		The selectivity is based on the size and chemical nature of the components and the chemical and material properties of the membrane.

		The partnership was initiated in response to a challenge, issued by Congressman James T. Walsh (R-Syracuse) in 1999, to revitalize neighborhoods in Syracuse and reclaim the City's vacant buildings that are having the greatest blighting impact.
		The Neighborhood Initiative will work to improve the quality of life by demolishing or rehabilitating buildings that attract criminal activity, elevating the aesthetic standards of the community through better property maintenance, and building the capacity of community stakeholders to solve problems.
		It included the development of neighborhood priority projects administered by several non-profit agencies, the selective demolition of high-priority vacant structures near these neighborhood priority projects as well as City selective demolition in stable areas, and specific targeting of HUD structures within the City for acquisition and subsequent rehabilitation or demolition.

	Texas Straight Talk
		To use Selective Service, ostensibly a program designed to enhance our national security, as a means to bolster President Clinton's liberal, failing Americorps is completely ridiculous.
		I absolutely do not want my grandsons to be drafted into Americorps' "national volunteer service" and be sent to distribute needles in some drug-infested urban area, or be forced to pick-up trash in the national parks, but that is exactly where this could lead; and what the social liberals want.
		The role of government is to protect life and liberty from initiations of force or fraud.
