From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. The domain name gov is a sponsored top-level domain (sTLD) in the Domain Name System of the Internet. The name is derived from government, indicating its restricted use by government entities in the United States. The gov domain is administered by the General Services Administration (GSA), an independent agency of the United States federal government. The URL for registration services is http://www.dotgov.gov. The U.S. is the only country that has a government-specific top-level domain in addition to its country-code top-level domain. This is a result from the origins of the Internet as a U.S. federal government-sponsored research network (see ARPANET and National Science Foundation Network). Other countries typically delegate a second-level domain for this purpose. Some U.S. federal agencies use fed.us rather than gov. The Department of Defense and its subsidiary organizations use the mil sTLD. Some U.S. governmental entities use other domains, such as com domains by the United States Postal Service (which uses both usps.gov and usps.com for the same website, although it only advertises the com address), and the United States Army's recruitment website (goarmy.com, this trend is repeated at the recruitment websites of the other branches of the U.S. military). Additionally, some technically private organizations having some formal association with the federal government make use of gov, such as the Federal Reserve System (federalreserve.gov). All governments in the U.S. are allowed to apply for delegations in gov, such as atlantaga.gov for the city of Atlanta, loudoun.gov for the county of Loudoun, Virginia and georgia.gov for the U.S. state of Georgia. This was not always true; under an earlier policy, only federal agencies were allowed to use the domain, and agencies beneath cabinet level were required to use subdomains of their parent agency. There is a lack of consistency in addresses of state and local government sites, with some using gov, some us, some using both (the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania uses www.pa.gov, www.pennsylvania.gov and www.state.pa.us for the same web site) and still others in com, org or other TLDs.

GNU Free Documentation License does the gov't give refunds for farmers that use pesticides and if so, can you cite sources? Q. I'm doing a research paper on farming and I'm wondering if the gov't gives subsidiaries or if there is tax write offs for farmers that use pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. If you know any info, can you please cite the source/s? Asked by Kelly B - Wed Apr 9 19:46:04 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. It varies by country. The agricultural support system is very complex. In the UK, for example, we get paid for land stewardship - we get paid depending on a points system for how well we manage the land. This is called the "single payment scheme" as the whole farm is considered udner one payment. Up to 2 years ago we got paid different amounts for certain crops, margins, hedgerows, water courses etc. Many countries still pay on quantity. But no, its unlikley you would get a direct payment for using pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. You would off course get a "tax right-off" as the chemicals would be a cost to your farm and off-settable against any profit, just like any consumable. Answered by Michael H - Thu Apr 10 04:14:04 2008 What is a good way to get sponsers or grants from the Gov for running a childrens nonprofit program.? Q. I run a nonprofit center for kids to go to after school. Times are hard and the people that need and use our center are people that are in poverty and have a hard time making the minimum weekly payments. I was wondering what is a good approach to getting business and organizations to possibly sponsor or donate money to help with the expenses. Or, what's the best approach to receiving money from the Gov. to help out. Thank you. Asked by Brian S - Sat Oct 11 15:54:34 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Your best bet is to seek for private grants or grants from private foundations. The best resource for this is Foundation Center . They have a very good database covering all organizations giving grants and you can find foundations that are interested in supporting your type of cause. However, it's a subscription based website ($19.95 per month I think is the cheapest subscription price). But it certainly is worth the fee. You can subscribe one month, and make sure you get all the info you need and then stop the subscription. If you want to try federal sources, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) and Grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information… [cont.] Answered by imisidro - Sat Oct 11 16:01:55 2008 How would I save money on taxes from this damn gov?
