From the Daily Herald of central Utah:
A 2004 survey by the U.S. Forest Service showed that 92.7 percent of those who visited national forests over a three-year period were white, even though the country's ethnic and racial makeup includes growing numbers of Hispanics, Asians and blacks.

I just had to take a minute and acknowledge a milestone: This is the 2,000th post in the history of Fedblog, which dates back to Oct. 2004. (It seems like just yesterday!) Obviously, the blog wouldn't have stayed around if people didn't get something out of it, so thanks for your continued support. And thanks also for joining in the discussions (once we finally implemented some software that facilitated discussions), which really keep this place vibrant.
3,000, here we come!

From a Government Accountability Office report (GAO-07-907) on the processing of claims under the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 by the Labor Department and the Office of Special Counsel:
Since the start of [a] demonstration project on February 8, 2005, both DOL and OSC have had policies and procedures for receiving, investigating, and resolving USERRA claims against federal executive branch employers, with DOL investigating the ones from claimants with even-number social security numbers, and OSC those from claimants with odd social security numbers as well as those with related allegations of prohibited personnel practices.
