How You Can Support State Parks and Historic Sites
New York State parks and historic sites rely on countless volunteers and patron generosity to support a wide range of 
 operational and programmatic activities. From helping out at our nature centers to organizing trail clean up events we depend 
 on our friends to help us keep our parks and sites open and accessible to everyone!
Join a Friends Group!
One of the best ways to get involved at our parks and historic sites is to join a Friends Group. More than eighty of our parks 
 and sites have active and organized Friends Groups that offer many opportunities to be as involved as you can be. Follow the 
 Friend's Group link from these state park or historic site 
 pages or contact the park or site for more information on how to get involved.
Donate!
Another great way to show your support is to make a donation to your favorite park or historic site. You can donate online 
 from any park or historic site page or you can visit the Natural Heritage Trust for more information on how to give. 
 No donation is too small and each and every gift is used to benefit our parks and sites.

I would like to see more hours for law enforcement patrols of South Cow Mountain and Knoxville. BLM rangers also needs funding for more support services and removing dumped vehicles. I hate seeing all of the destroyed abandoned vehicles that get dumped at Indian valley and Knoxville. They become such eye sores and make the area less safe. Rick Schumacher - 4/5/2024

VA apps can help Veterans and their families manage their stress and improve their well-being.

<p>Unmanaged stress can affect your overall well-being and lead to anxiety, high blood pressure, heart disease, depression, substance misuse and more. Managing stress can be additionally challenging for those with PTSD—a condition that is more common among Veterans than civilians.</p>

<p>That’s why VA offers virtual resources specifically designed to help Veterans and their family members manage stress and practice self-care. These free tools offer education about PTSD and a range of related mental health concerns while also offering information about how to connect with professional support when needed.</p>

<p>Here are six VA mobile apps that Veterans and their families can use to manage stress and support their self-care:</p>

2024 Public Comments to Preliminary Applications
Tit. 14, § 4970.13(f)(6) - Education and Safety". How are you promoting OHV safety? I see evaluation criteria sections 7, 8, 9 and 10 are not checked. Evaluation criteria says you can get points with public input in number 6. Next year you are invited to get input from members of the San Diego Off Road Coalition. I am president and we hold monthly meetings. I have met members of ORET in the past and would like to forge a relationship with the current members. I would enjoy a tour of your facility and equipment and would always be happy to consult with you on this or other grant applications. Ed Stovin - 5/2/2024

have been a patron of Metcalf Motorcycle Park for over 20 years. This exceptional facility offers a safe and accessible environment for practicing dirt bike riding, conveniently located within a short drive from most areas in the San Francisco Bay Area. Over the past five years, I have become deeply involved as a volunteer with the Santa Clara County Park, collaborating closely with the staff at Metcalf Park. Together, we not only conduct regular trail maintenance but also work on enhancing some of the riding areas. Our dedicated group, in partnership with the park staff, has developed a five-year plan to improve and expand the trails area. Despite facing numerous challenges such as a shortage of heavy equipment, a lack of operators when equipment is available, administrative hurdles, budget constraints, and other external factors, we remain committed to our goals. We wholeheartedly support this grant application, as it promises to help address some of these issues. Securing this funding would enable the park and our group to provide improved and expanded services to those who enjoy the park. Thank you for your consideration. Denis Roberts - 5/4/2024

Q: Can you tell me more about the traffic information displayed on Caltrans QuickMap?
A: Yes.
Traffic Speed 
The traffic speed data information is provided by using the Google Maps Traffic Layer. This enables Caltrans QuickMap to provide speed data beyond what is available using just Caltrans data. Google uses Caltrans data as well as other sources of data, like Automated Vehicle Location (AVL) from private companies, as well as cellular phone data. The colors represent speeds. Green means there is a normal speed of traffic. The more red the roads become, the slower the speed of traffic. 
For more information on the Google Traffic Layer see the following links:

http://support.google.com/gmm/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=45854
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/bright-side-of-sitting-in-traffic.html
http://google-latlong.blogspot.com/2009/08/arterial-traffic-available-on-google.html

Lane Closures 
The lane closures layer presents construction and maintenance activities by Caltrans .
Although the data files on the public servers include all active and planned lane closures, Caltrans QuickMap only shows the active lane closures.
Internal Revenue Bulletin: 2008-12 | Internal Revenue Service
If a plan that is subject to § 401(a)(11) provides a QJSA that is more valuable than the plan’s single life annuity form of benefit, must the plan’s QOSA be at least actuarially equivalent to the QJSA or need the plan’s QOSA only be at least actuarially equivalent to the plan’s single life annuity form of benefit payable at the same time as the QOSA? A-10. A plan subject to § 401(a)(11) must provide a QOSA that is at least actuarially equivalent to the plan’s form of benefit that is a single life annuity for the life of the participant payable at the same time as the QOSA. The QOSA need not be actuarially equivalent to the plan’s QJSA. Q-11. If a participant elects to receive a distribution in the form of a QOSA, must the participant’s spouse consent to the participant’s election? A-11. In general, spousal consent is required for a participant to waive a plan’s QJSA form of distribution and elect an alternative distribution form. However, § 1.401(a)-20, Q&A-16, provides that a participant may elect out of the QJSA, in favor of an actuarially equivalent alternative joint and survivor annuity that satisfies the conditions to be a QJSA, without spousal consent. Because a QOSA, by definition, satisfies the conditions to be a QJSA, no spousal consent is required if a plan participant elects a QOSA that is actuarially equivalent to the plan’s QJSA. If the QOSA is not actuarially equivalent to the QJSA, spousal consent is required for the participant to waive the QJSA and elect the QOSA. Q-12.
