ial activities."Roughly
half the department budget pays staff, which is far more than at
other agencies. The department argues that the sequester cuts, then, have
a significant impact on services -- seasonal hiring, for instance, had to
be drastically cut back, which impacts programs at national parks. Federal
agencies have each responded differently to the sequester. The Federal Aviation
Administration rattled lawmakers after it furloughed air traffic controllers,
leading to delays at major U.S. airports. Congress, though, intervened by
allowing the FAA to move money around, in turn canceling those furloughs.The
private business community also has stepped in. At Yellowstone National
Park, two cities stepped up when the National Park Service decided to
save money by plowing snow two weeks later than usual. This would
have delayed the clearing of four park gates well past the typical
May 1 opening, so city officials held a fundraiser and collected enough
money to pay the state to clear the roads, ensuring the gates
will be open on time.Coburn cited this as a positive example in
his letter, and urged the department to find more savings."I believe the
Department can continue to maintain this same level access even under sequestration,"
he wrote. "To accomplish this, the Department must prioritize its core mission,
eliminate unnecessary, wasteful, and duplicative programs, and find innovative
ways to do more with less."

California.APTwo months after the sequester hit, the Department of Interior
continues to warn of coast-to-coast cuts for the country's national parks
-- and even the partial shutdown of a critical flood warning system.But
Sen. Tom Coburn says there's "no shortage of potential savings," pointing
out that the department is nevertheless spending millions on newly created
monuments and landmarks.The Oklahoma Republican, who has been hounding federal
agencies for weeks about questionable spending under the cloud of sequester,
aired his grievances with the Interior Department in a letter to Secretary
Sally Jewell Tuesday."It makes little sense to expand the number of sites
at the same time the budget of every other park is being
cut and visitors are being turned away from visiting the White House,"
Coburn wrote.Coburn pointedly questioned department efforts to name new
sites and expand others -- decisions that will contribute to the department's
annual costs. Coburn said the National Park Service has designated 13 new
historic landmarks and three new monuments since the sequester hit March
1. One of those landmarks, he noted, is a whiskey distillery --
the George T. Stagg Distillery in Kentucky. Other newly created landmarks
include the Connecticut home of abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, the
historic bridge crossed by civil rights marchers in Selma, Ala., and an

no record of suicide attempts or drug overdoses, and in public, she
is a loner."According to Radar Online, Bynes -- who earned serious cash
first as a Nickelodeon star and later in other films, shows and
even with her own clothing line -- demanded access to her millions
a few months ago. The money had been put away in investments
by her parents and lawyers while she was growing up in an
effort to secure her future. But now, she's apparently spending without
limitation.TheRichest.org has Amanda Bynes listed with a net worth of $8
million."Amanda doesnt qualify for an involuntary, emergency commitment
in New York because shes done nothing that is likely to result
in serious harm to self or others. You could say shes acting
like a typical New Yorker making goofy videos, wearing odd hairstyles,
talking to herself, staying up all night, tweeting and spending money like
water. Its a free country," said attorney Larry Bodine of Lawyers.com, adding
that there is no legal action her parents can take.And just last
month, Bynes was in the headlines for being escorted from a gymnastics
class in New York City after she broke down crying when he
wig fell off during a cartwheel, and posting Twitter photographs of herself
in everything from blonde wigs to blue lipstick."She has made one smart
decision though," a source added. "She got off the roads in Los
Angeles and moved to New York where she c
WASHINGTON The government is moving the morning-after pill over the counter
but only those 15 and older can buy it -- an attempt
to find middle ground just days before a court-imposed deadline to lift
all age restrictions on the emergency contraceptive.Today, Plan B One-Step
is sold behind pharmacy counters, and buyers must prove they're 17 or
older to buy it without a prescription. Tuesday's decision by the Food
and Drug Administration lowers the age limit and will allow the pill
to sit on drugstore shelves next to spermicides or other women's health
products and condoms -- but anyone who wants to buy it must
prove their age at the cash register.Some contraceptive advocates called
the move promising."This decision is a step in the right direction for
increased access to a product that is a safe and effective method
of preventing unintended pregnancies," said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash. "It's
also a decision that moves us closer to these critical availability decisions
being based on science, not politics."But earlier this month, U.S. District
Judge Edward Korman of New York blasted the Obama administration for imposing
the age-17 limit, saying it had let election-year politics trump science
and was making it hard for women of any age to obtain
the emergency contraception in time. He ordered an end to the age
restrictions by Monday.The women's group that sued over the age limits said
Tuesday's action is not enough, and it will continue
