Now, for the born identity
The government, too, is impatient to have a multipurpose national identity card system, if just to ward off illegal immigrants and the import of terrorism from across the borders. But questions are being raised on whether such a centralised, nationwide system would be an asset or a liability?
It may be easy to dismiss the calls for national identification as the greedy urgings of big business, technology providers and card makers. It would be equally easy to brush off protests against the card system as the ravings of paranoid liberal forces. However, for the largely poor India, the need is to have hassle-free access to economic and social gains that only a national ID card may give. A senior civil servant, in a chat with ET, recalls the problems faced while providing relief to the survivors of the tsunami attack in December 2004. The first problem was the identification of the thousands of dead being washed ashore. The next was to decide who to give emergency relief supplies to, among the thousands of families queuing up.

Parents sound off on Gilbert Primary ID tag fee
News 10 also noticed Gilbert Primary didn't have a fence around one of their playgrounds. Hill didn't know that either, "It probably is because they're under renovation. I'd have to, um, check with the administration office."
She did check, and says that the playground area is for first and second grades and has never been fenced. She says most elementary schools in the district don't have fencing all the way around, but there is always someone there supervising. WIS News 10's Trey Paul has also confirmed that Gilbert Primary school is the only school in which parents have to pay for school ID cards. Lexington District One says that is the school's choice.

Photo ID cards for Indian cattle
Traffickers bring the cows by truck to West Bengal from as far as Haryana and Punjab in northern India. "The traffickers have a strong network in the border villages, where the cattle are kept in transit, before being sent across the border," said BSF official in Murshidabad, Surinder Singh.
"Locals are paid for that, so they have a vested interest in the smuggling. These ID cards can help us easily identify the cattle brought for smuggling." People in border villages say having their cattle photographed is a problem because it requires them to take time off work. But they have agreed to the identity cards to avoid harassment by the BSF and police who often raid villages in search of cattle waiting to be smuggled to Bangladesh slaughterhouses.

To collect your photo ID card, please show us your photo ID card
They were told that to obtain a photo identity they had to appear in person with photo identification. At the Sydney Convention Centre they were confronted by a wall of police and security guards. "You can't enter without your APEC photo ID passes," a guard said, barring the way."But that's what we have come to collect," the reporters pleaded, waving emails advising that their passes had been approved. The security officers went into a huddle before ruling the reporters could enter this time.They collected their photo passes and headed for the exit, where they were stopped again and told to hang their ID cards around their necks.When one reporter explained they only wanted to leave, he was told: "ID passes have to be worn inside the building at all times."

ID cards may be small in size, but they offer big protection
alphacard.comNow a private consultant, Clarke recently criticized the widespread efforts to frustrate Real ID, the 2005 federal law that pushes states to create secure driver's licenses. Without such solid identification, he wrote, "potential terrorists here illegally can easily use phony licenses or, in many states, get real ones issued to
them, along with credit cards and all of the other papers needed to blend into our society."Politicians of both parties have latched onto a misguided populist revolt against these secure driver's licenses, and they may rue the day they did. You need just one terrorist waving a fake driver's license at airport security on his way to committing mayhem, and public opposition to Real ID will vanish. Accountability is a good thing, and there's no reason why it should stop at the CIA. The administration's lame response to the pre-Sept. 11 threat remains open for inspection. And elected officials should know that voters could hold them accountable for failing to support something as simple as a sound ID card. Full Article fromSeattletimes.nwsource.com.

Convocation undergoes name change
A Wednesday morning at Pepperdine will no longer include ?convocation? for thousands of Seaver College students.
However, it will still mean a weekly trek down to Firestone Fieldhouse, students swiping ID cards for credit, the acapella sounds of Pepperdine?s Won-By-One and a guest speaker?s words of faith and spirituality. Wednesday morning convocation, the most widely attended program in the convocation series, has a new name this year: ?chapel.? The name change is part of an effort to ?re-brand? the Wednesday morning program, said Christopher Collins, convocation and student-led ministries coordinator and a 2002 alum.
