SNET: [FP] Alaska: Nearly 93% of new parents choose Enumeration At Birth (EAB)

In a little over a two year time period, the Bureau has gone from no electronic birth certificates to nearly 99% of all Alaska hospital births coming to the Bureau in electronic format. "Innumerable man-hours have been saved at both ends of the registration process," said Al Zangri, Chief of the Bureau. In addition, in cooperation with state-wide hospitals, the Bureau has implemented the Social Security Administration's Enumeration At Birth (EAB) program statewide during 1995. The Enumeration at Birth program allows parents to request a social security number for their newborn through the birth registration process. This program has proven to be so popular with new parents that nearly 93% of all births transmitted to the Bureau request a social security number. ======================================================================= -----Original Message----- From: Katherine A.

Fighting DMV clerical errors in NYC:
by Ray Arachelian 17 Dec '03

17 Dec '03

A friend of mine asked me to forward this question to you guys: IMHO he needs a good lawyer, but maybe someone here knows more: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Any particular thing you want to fight @ the DMV or just in general? They are preventing me from renewing my license due to a clerical error they made over a year ago. Since I did not respond to their letter (I didn't understand what they were talking about) they suspended my license. That caused my insurance company to drop me. When I renewed my insurance (a second error, if you have a suspension you can not get insurance) they told me it was cleared. I need to talk to someone who can help me resolve this without me having to hand in my license and plate for the 90 day penalty -- =====================================Kaos=Keraunos=Kybernetos============== .+.^.+.| Ray Arachelian |Prying open my 3rd eye.

The transfer of possession of a lawfully made copy of a computer program by a nonprofit educational institution to another nonprofit educational institution or to faculty, staff, and students does not constitute rental, lease, or lending for direct or indirect commercial purposes under this subsection.

(2)(A) Nothing in this subsection shall apply to the lending of a computer program for nonprofit purposes by a nonprofit library, if each copy of a computer program which is lent by such library has affixed to the packaging containing the program a warning of copyright in accordance with requirements that the Register of Copyrights shall prescribe by regulation. (B) Not later than three years after the date of the enactment of the Computer Software Rental Amendments Act of 1990, and at such times thereafter as the Register of Copyright considers appropriate, the Register of Copyrights, after consultation with representatives of copyright owners and librarians, shall submit to the Congress a report stating whether this paragraph has achieved its intended purpose of maintaining the integrity of the copyright system while providing nonprofit libraries the capability to fulfill their function.
