So if there is a government grant offered for anything, like starting a business or going to school, they cannot discriminate because of your age.

Teachers can go on cruises with the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration and anyone can spend the summer as a volunteer in a National Parks and even earn money doing it.

Anyone can make anyone else look bad if they really want to pull things apart enough.

Not offering this kind of guarantee means that they do not believe in their product enough, and they do not care about if a salesman is over promising or over selling their product.

I've been talking about the centrality of libraries in our information society for a while now.

There are thousands of grant programs and every program has different requirements and deadlines.

I can't help thinking if she-the director of a government agency-is this ignorant about what funding is available and where the money comes from-how often lower-level bureaucrats must give wrong answers when people are looking for help to start a business.
