The 85,000+ acre Blackrock-Spread Creek (BSC) The permanent retirement of the BSC grazing allotment will dramatically reduce the need for expensive control actions by wildlife agencies and also the number of polarizing political and emotional conflicts that result when livestock are killed by grizzlies and wolves. With a willing buyer and seller, the problems associated with closing allotments are almost completely eliminated, creating a win-win strategy that will greatly improve prospects for grizzly and wolf range expansion and minimize the political controversy associated with such expansions. Indeed, the campaign to retire the Blackrock has the support of diverse stakeholder groups ranging from the Wyoming Stock Growers Association to the U.S. Forest Service.

Extractions: For the past several years, the Upper Saddle River School District (K-8) has been using digital cameras, both still and video, to enhance learning, provide motivation, and as a convenient tool to empower both students and teachers. Such cameras are becoming easier to use, smaller, cheaper and yet more powerful. Thus our teachers and students can now readily produce and use digital images with ease in any learning area. They have the freedom to experiment with photos that encourage a willingness to learn. They can view their pictures immediately and erase those they don't want. They can produce high quality prints from inkjet printers, order prints online, get them printed at a one-hour lab, send them via Email, or post images on the district Web site. For this to happen, the district has made an effort to obtain equipment, provide staff development and incorporate digital cameras into the curriculum.

(1) Alabama does provide, through separate appropriations bills, state aid to two private military academies; and (2) Alabama does provide small grants to several private schools and agencies offering services to exceptional children and to mentally disabled citizens. Neither of these categories is considered in the general state aid for public education. Alaska No program of state aid for nonpublic schools.

Extractions: Changing Schools Staff Scientifically Based Research Emerges as National Issue When the No Child Left Behind Act was signed into law in January 2002, reauthorizing the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, much of the ensuing discussion zeroed in on the legislation's assessment and accountability requirements. But another issue has recently come to the forefront: the notion of "scientifically based research," a phrase threaded throughout the 1,080-page Act. The No Child Left Behind Act (Public Law 107-110) calls for programs and practices that are built on scientifically based research. This requirement for rigorous evidence that programs and practices will work has led to an impassioned debate among educators, policymakers, and researchers. At the core of the issue are a number of questions including, What defines scientifically based research? Who decides what programs qualify? And if education research that conforms to a scientific model is not readily available, how do we proceed? What Is Scientifically Based Research?

Mr Matthew Shepard, 21, was found beaten and tied to a wooden fence last Wednesday just outside Laramie, Wyoming. Charges against two men being held for the attack were expected to be upgraded from attempted murder to first-degree murder, but the local district-attorney's office declined to say if prosecutors would seek the death penalty. The crime stunned the small college town of Laramie, prompting calls for more anti-hate crime laws from President Bill Clinton, local politicians and the community. Mr Shepard was beaten so severely that the passing motorist who found him at first thought the figure on the fence post was a scarecrow. Wyoming Governor Jim Geringer said he was "deeply saddened".
