Dems Shrink The Unemployment/Tax Extenders Bill Again, But GOP Still Says NoJune 24, 2010 - by Donny Shaw
After consulting with lobbyists yesterday to see what it would take to win a few Republican votes, Senate Dems are back with their latest revision of the H.R. 4213, the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act. Majority Leader Sen. Harry Reid [D, NV] has already filed cloture on the revised bill, and according to the congressional record, "a vote on cloture will occur on Friday, June 25, 2010."
Cloture is a procedural motion to overcome a filibuster that requires 60 votes to pass. According to reports, the Democrats have been within two votes of passing the cloture motion for several days now. This latest revision is designed to shore up support among Democratic and Republican moderates to win those crucial two votes. At this point, all indications are that it hasn't worked.
So what has changed in the latest revision?
- Slight softening of the carried-interest tax loophole closer — this revision makes a few "technical corrections" to the provision in the bill to raise taxes on hedge fund managers who for years have been exploiting a loophole in the tax code to pay the lower capital gains rate on their personal income instead of the regular income tax rate. The revisions would cause this provision to bring in about $500 million less in new revenues over the next ten years.
- Phase-out of state Medicaid aid — Like the previous version of the bill, this latest revision would extend for six months a stimulus program providing federal assistance for states that are struggling to pay their Medicaid bills. This version, however, would gradually phase out how much the federal government pays out over those six months, reducing the cost of the provision by $8 billion.
- Elimination of Advanced EITC — People eligible for the earned income credit currently have the option to use a program allowing them to essentially get advances on the credit by having less money withheld from their paychecks throughout the year. The latest revision would end this program, saving $1.2 billion over the next ten years. The savings are the result of eliminating the possibility of errors in how the program is executed.
- $11.29 billion in reallocations — Lots of money moved from other programs to pay for the spending items in H.R. 4213. Here's what the summary from the Finance Committee says is being reallocated: "These reallocations consist of $600 million in unobligated Recovery Act funds intended for improving broadband deployment across the U.S. and $260 million in Recovery Act savings from the lower cost of construction and repair on Defense Department contracts. Also included is $900 million from non-Recovery Act Defense Department unobligated balances which will expire on September 30, 2010, and are excess to current requirements. In addition, effective June 1, 2014, food stamp benefits will return to the levels that individuals would have received in 2014 under pre-Recovery Act law."
- New Medicaid pricing for certain drugs — Would make "inhalation, infusion, or injectable drugs that are not dispensed through retail community pharmacies" subject to pricing under the Medicaid "average manufacturer price" formula. This would result in Medicaid paying about $2.1 billion less for these drugs over the next ten years.
…The provisions regarding unemployment benefits appear to be untouched from the previous revision of 6/23.
According to my estimates (an official CBO estimate is not yet available), these changes would cut the deficit impact of the bill by about $22 billion, leaving just $33 billion unpaid for. Most of that $33 billion would be used for the extended unemployment benefits, which are designated "emergency spending" and not subject to congressional offset rules known as pay-as-you-go. Even with all these new cuts in the bill, reports are indicating that Republicans will continue to filibuster.
Here's WaPo:
Senate Democrats were ready to throw in the towel late Wednesday on a months-long effort to deliver fresh aid to states and extend benefits to unemployed workers, saying Republicans had rejected their latest offer to pare down the size and cost of the package.
And Here's HuffPo:
Democratic leaders in the Senate have apparently failed to win enough support to overcome a Republican filibuster of a bill to help the poor, the old and the jobless, despite making a series of cuts to the measure over the past several weeks to appease deficit hawks.
"It looks like we're going to come up short," said a senior Democratic aide on Wednesday evening. "It looks like Republicans are prepared to kill aid to states, an extension of unemployment benefits, and ironically, the Republicans are prepared to kill efforts to close loopholes that allow companies to export jobs overseas."

I never wanted to enter the system, yet I am forced to. Money is taken from my paycheck for unemployment insurance I neither want nor need. This bit of money signifies a finite portion of my lifespan; unless society somehow owns me, this definitely constitutes theft. By what right do you lay claim to my time and energy?
"People who don't work and have kids to collect welfare, foodstamps and rent subsidies and those who fake disabilities are the ones who "steal" but no-one has a problem continuing these programs."
I have a problem with these programs for the same reason. Private charities can provide those services without the implicit threat of force. I would argue that they do a much better job of it as well.
"…when they find themselves unemployed through no fault of their own."
That's a hell of an assumption. If they use your logic and vote accordingly, they're partially culpable.
Oil & Gas Industry, history of strong influence in Washington. Individuals and political action committees affiliated with oil and gas companies have donated $238.7 MILLION to candidates and parties since the 1990 (Bush Senior term) election cycle, 75% of which has gone to REPUBLICANS…
Former oilmen George W. Bush and Dick Cheney occupied the White House for 8 yrs, the oil and gas industry could not win support for repealing bans on drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. However, Congress voted in 2008 to lift a ban on offshore drilling… Read full story: http://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus.php?ind=E0
Drilling bans were lifted during Bush's last months in WhiteHouse in 2008. The After consumers & transportation industry & economy felt the pain of $1-$2 price hikes of gas, during Summer 2007. It was "the straw that broke the Camel's backs", PUTTING USA/AMERICANS INTO TAIL SPIN.
Republicans filibustered UI Ext bill! They're asking for UI Ext be paid, while at the same time they're fighting to give their Special Interest groups special tax stimulus. Rep are trying to look like they care about the deficit, but for 10 yrs (Bush Admin) they never spoke of concerns for the huge deficit they were digging us into as they approved large spending for Special Interest. The Rep debate on these UI Ext bills are like "broken record". They want USA to use the stimulus money that is already committed to the agreed upon projects, programs, etc. Republicans want USA to "rob Peter to pay Paul", so they can try to prolong the problem past November election. This is how they have operated for YEARS, and we're in worse shape now because of their IRRESPONSIBLENESS. People should not be in Leadership positions if they cant make decision for the problems at hand.
Dont take my word for it. Please read links Donny Shaw and others have provided with accurate research and reporting.
GOP are determined to bloc everything the President is trying to do for the USA right now. He has a vested interest, and seems to take pride in doing the best job he can while in office.
We are in trouble as long as Republican politicians continue favoring their special interest.
How can any CEO or Owner of business get anything done if half of his managers or executives stand in his way just to be defiant.
President Obama speech on CSPAN today, while in Kansas City, MO to support a future candidate. Was right on.
If you are an unemployed American, and are thinking no one understands the difficulties of being jobless. Obama speech articulated the financial and emotional struggles well. Hat's off to the President for saying what needed to be said.
Senator's excuse for not passing is a false statement.
Read all about it:
The funding argument is even harder to swallow. I'd be more sympathetic with these new converts to fiscal responsibility if they were as enthusiastic about paying for extending $32 billion worth of special interest tax breaks as they are about funding the unemployment extension. If I understand correctly, these lawmakers insist that Congress fund every dime of added jobless aid, which nearly all analysts agree will help boost the economy. But they feel no need to pay for continuing these special interest tax breaks, which will not.
Full Story:
CNN has actually screened and blocked several comments/blogs that expose the truth about the Republican Senators in regards to the UI Ext bills.
Here are some stories written with very accurate reporting of the UI Ext Crisis.
The unemployment emergency
Senate struggles with unemployment benefits
Calls to Suicide Hotlines Skyrocket Along with Unemployment
Why don't our Senators get that there is a great need?
The job market is broken.
The corporate executives are not going to give up their year-end profit bonus by adding jobs/payroll to their companies.
Here are a few stories on our jobless nation:
Job recovery hits a wall
Job gloom at all time high
7.9 million jobs lost- many forever
Jobless claims spike
Thousands at risk for losing unemployment benefits
Corporations have increased their cash reserves to $1.84 TRILLION, THE HIGHEST FIGURE IN HISTORY! Big business and the banks, after an unprecedented bailout by the public treasury, are hoarding the funds (Americans pay this back on their IRS tax bill). BIG CORPORATIONS EXECUTIVES ARE MAKING BIG BONUSES AND GETTING SALARY INCREASES FOR SHOWING HUGE PROFITS. The cash reserves of major corporations have jumped 26 percent in one year, the largest percentage increase in nearly 60 years. The cash reserves of working people, and particularly the unemployed, have not been so fortunate.
REPUBLICANS bloc, the SENATE vote and defeat a proposed extension of unemployment benefits for unemployed workers. Many of these same Senators rushed through a $700 BILLION bailout of Wall Street in 2008 in a matter of days, cannot bring itself to support even the most meager subsistence for the unemployed workers who are the victims, not the perpetrators, of the economic crisis.
The Senate needs to be held accountable for their incompetence and lack of integrity. Shame on them for not coming up with a 100% solution for all Americans who are forced to survive on their UI.
President Obama can't sign a bill, if Congress doesn't get it to him. President Obama's discussed the economy, and the need to help the displaced unemployed with UI Extentions on Monday and Tuesday. CSPAN.ORG
As of today, we have 9.7% unemployed, 55% of the workforce have taken reduced work hours, pay-cuts, unpaid leave, forced to switch to part-time, and BP Oil Corporation's IRRESPONSIBLENESS is adding to LOST JOBS and LOST LIVES.
1.2 million who will lose their Unemployment Insurance if Republicans get their way.
The GOP have no vested interest in hearing or helping jobless people. The only communication Republicans hear is $$$$$. That's why they listen to and only support Oil Companies, Insurance Companies, Banks, Big Corporations, and Wall Street
• It's the Republican party who is busy watching out for Wall Street/Corporations.
Shame on Congress for not coming up with a solution for ALL its' displaced hard working Americans.
• 9.7% unemployed = 1.2 million Americans, and 55% of the workforce have taken reduced work hours, pay-cuts, unpaid leave, forced to switch to part-time. The BP Oil Corporation's irresponsibleness is adding to lost jobs and lost lives.
Yesterday, President Obama's discussed what was happening with corporations, the economy, and the need to help the displaced unemployed. Watch his entire interview on CSPAN. He gets it.

To the 1.2 million jobless americans I thought you would be glad to know that the Republicans let the Democrates get the Small Business Bill through.
How many Small Business loans will be approved to the jobless workers who are looking at the option of doing a business start up? NONE
-Poor credit and/or unemployed need not apply.
Everyone knows that banks, retailers, small or big businesses have the legal right to not interview or hire applicants if they have had any negative information on their credit history report. So on top of everything else the unemployed are trying to keep up with they must be sure to keep a high credit score standing while they are unemployed, in order to have at least a chance to get interviewed after completing MOST companies on-line application and required background information checks.
- It's not always about experience, but about the criteria businesses/agencies use to screen applications for employment.
Once again, Republican defeat a proposed extension of unemployment benefits for workers who have been jobless…
Yet Congress was able to rushed through SEVERAL billion $$$ bailoutS of Wall Street in 2007-2008. Starting with JPMORGAN CHASE.
The Wall Street Journal reported a few weeks ago that American corporations have increased their cash reserves to $1.84 TRILLION, the highest figure in history. In other words, big business and the banks, after an unprecedented bailout by the public treasury, are hoarding the funds that could put millions back to work. The cash reserves of major corporations have jumped 26 percent in one year, the largest percentage increase in nearly 60 years. The cash reserves of working people, and particularly the unemployed, have not been so fortunate..

I am not sure if you insinuating that extending benefits is comparable to stealing or not. These people have worked and payed into the system, so how would giving them back a fraction of what they have payed be the same as stealing. That claim is idiotic. People who don't work and have kids to collect welfare, foodstamps and rent subsidies and those who fake disabilities are the ones who "steal" but no-one has a problem continuing these programs.
People who work for years, pay taxes which pays government salaries, government programs and aid to other countries DESERVE UI benefits when they find themselves unemployed through no fault of their own.
A UNANIMOUS REPUBLICAN bloc, against the bill for extended unemployment benefits. Congress that rushed through a $700 BILLION bailout of Wall Street in Oct2008. Congress cannot bring itself to support even the most meager subsistence for the unemployed workers who are the victims, not the perpetrators, of the economic crisis.

I Have seen many of my good friends having to cut back over time due to unemployment and they are way too proud to ask for help. A few of them have been looking for work for almost 9 months and yet no luck in our area. How ever I have found my self having more and more cook out and inviting my friends over because I know that it helps them out. It may not be much but as long as I have the money I will continue to feed them once a week. It is not a hand out I am being a friend. Since I know they depended on there unemployment Benifits and know that they are gone due to this littl Debate in congress. I have seen my friend sell off little by little there things. There TV's there recriational toys, there Jewlery and I am sure the wifes Dimond Ring is next. Times are hard for everyone of us and it is ever more so. for the Thousands of Americans that are Jobless. I hope that congress get on the ball and does what is right for this country.
Maybe if you use a few more question marks I'll give you an answer.
That doesn't even make any sense.
I am a lifelong Republican who was disgraced and appalled at each and every Republican Senator who turned his or her back on the dislocated American worker last evening. Funny they seem to be so interested on where the funds are coming from for this unemployment extension, while they continue to funnel BILLIONS of dollars overseas. I am calling each and every Republican senators office today, and reminding them that all they have done is shifted this question of financing to each and every unemployed worker. Well done GOP.
I urge each and every one of you to call all of these Senators and voice your concerns, let them know it is real people they are affecting, and we are not just numbers.
The best form of Welfare is a job! J.F.K..
Remember that, and send that around, maybe it will get to D.C..
Then Things Changed! NAFTA went into gear, and jobs started going into other Countries. Now!!!. There almost all there. So we were placed on this thing called UNEMPLOYMENT! So it's simple math. they owe us for our jobs, because do to Government, we know longer have jobs…
This is a National Catastrophe!! Government should get of there ass, and threw the Governors for the states, apply for help for these people, for this Country.
If I were still doing O so well,, I too would be blind. Open your eyes! We all would rather be working. Not collecting 1/3 of regular pay. You make it sound like it's the only way to live. I don't think so.. part 2 of 2
When things were going good in this Country ie: PEOPLE WORKING, CARS SELLING, HOUSEING BOOMING, and ETC.. We in this Country really didn't care who this Government was STEALING from, :and they were!" They robbed S.S. blind, and we all new it. So we invested in IRAs, 401k, buying stocks. We new there was no future, so we had to take care of ourselves. Including the Government making us pay into Unemployment threw are Taxes. "like it or not." part 1 of 2.
and we did!
Are you commenting from one of those small rooms in gitmo?
Talk about having your head up your ass when was the last time you saw the sunshine???????
"Government better get off it's ass and do something. The President should step in and make it law, another thing is, they should put a CAP on Gasoline before that hits $4.00 a gallon again. "not that anyone can afford it!!!" They need to do something.Before we all end up on the street."
This reasoning is the cause of 90% of your problems. You're seeing the unintended consequences of government constantly "doing something" in exchange for votes from people like you. This fallacy that government can micromanage the free market to solve everyone's problems has and will continue to cause untold misery. If you want an example, take a cold, hard look at the history of the Soviet Union.
If you want things to get better, stop relying on government action to steal income for you; ultimately they're stealing it from those who would offer you employment.
Private charity would be a viable option for you if you weren't constantly in support of government theft from those who would give.
"I am looking at a lot of these Rep. Senators profiles and a lot of them claim to be so called "Christians." Well Riddle me this Mr. or Mrs. Christian Republican how can you claim to be a Christian (a Follower of Christ) and let people suffer. "
Considering you're asking them to take a disproportionate share of money from one group to give to another, how about "Thou shalt not steal" as a possible conflict?
If they don't pass the bill we are headed for a worse recession, further foreclosures, unpaid rents (owners and renters affected) repossessions on vehicles, loss of monies to banks-more job loss. No grocery buying, electricity, water, gas. We will all be on welfare in shelters. Total disgrace. I have no words. My family will be homeless in one month.
What if we stopped putting our money in the bank? What if we all voted lib? What if we all claimed BK? What if we pulled out of investing and just sat on our cash? What then? See none of these things will ever happen because we fear the government, Constitution if interpreted properly states the government should fear the people. Actions my brothers and sisters, Actions.

Future Human Interfaces to Computer-Controlled Sound Systems
Computer-controlled sound systems have been among the most active research topics within the AES community. We are entering an age of interoperability, in which devices and the human operator work as a cohesive team. This paper examines human-machine interface issues pertaining to computer-controlled sound systems. Traditional human interfaces are analyzed, and found inappropriate for computer-controlled equipment. New human interface technologies are presented, such as spatial position tracking, eye tracking, tactile feedback, and head-mounted displays. This paper describes how these technologies work and their applications in sound system control and music performance.

Body of bride-to-be is found in Hudson after she was thrown from boat with best man days before wedding to childhood sweetheart
- Body of Lindsey Stewart, 30, discovered in Hudson River on Saturday
- She was due to marry fiancé Brian Bond, 35, in just two weeks time
- Bridal party had horror speedboat crash on Friday night
- Boat operator Jojo John, 35, of Nyack, New York has been charged with vehicular manslaughter and vehicular assault
- Best man Mark Lennon, 30, still missing, presumed dead
- Four survivors hospitalized with serious injuries
The body of a bride-to-be was pulled from the Hudson River on Saturday afternoon, close to the scene where she had plunged into the water after a horrific boat accident on Friday night.
Authorities found the body of 30-year-old Lindsey Stewart floating with no life vest near the Tappan Zee Bridge, around 25 miles north of New York City.
The boat's operator Jojo John, 35, has been charged with vehicular manslaughter for his role in the tragedy, as well as for vehicular assault.
Tragic: The body of Lindsey Stewart (left) was pulled from the Hudson River on Saturday after a horrific boat accident on Friday night. She was due to be married to Brian Bond (right) in two weeks time
Powerboat: Officials remove the 21-foot Stingray boat involved in the accident on the Hudson River on Friday night
Sad: Mark Lennon was to be the couple's best man at their wedding on August 10. He remains missing and is presumed dead
Happy couple: The pair were due to be married in two weeks time
Mark Lennon, also 30, who was to be best man at the wedding in only two weeks time, remains missing after hours of desperate searching.
Stewart's fiancé, Brian Bond, 35, was knocked unconscious and fractured an eye socket after the bridal party's powerboat struck a parked barge while crossing the river at 10.30 pm on Friday.
The crash happened shortly after the 21-foot Stingray left the village of Piermont for a short trip across the river to Tarrytown, authorities said.
Four other people, including the groom-to-be, were hospitalized with serious injuries after being pulled from the damaged boat.
NBC reported that the victims have head trauma and broken bones, but they are awake and are giving information to investigators.
Bond was knocked unconscious in the crash but later woke and was able to call 911, Stewart's mother Carol said.
Carol said earlier on Saturday that she was praying for a miracle. Lindsey Stewart was to be married on August 10.
The bride-to-be's mother told ABC: 'She's supposed to be married two weeks from today. It just can't end like this.'
Lindsey Stewart's stepfather, Walter Kosik, said the couple have known each other since they were 10 years old and used to go to church together.
'They have been friends the whole time, and they fell in love about 3 1/2 years ago,' Kosik said.
Accident: The powerboat crashed into a barge on Friday night
Scene: The accident happened near the Tappan Zee bridge, around 25 miles north of New York City
They were to be married at the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Pearl River, with a reception at a Hudson Valley winery, he said.
The New York Daily News reported that alcohol is being investigated as a potential cause for the crash.
According to the paper, the bride-to-be worked as an art teacher in Westchester County while her fiance worked in insurance in Nyack.
Rockland County Sheriff's Department Chief William Barbera said the barge, one of several loaded with construction material for an upcoming replacement of the bridge, was equipped with lights, but it was still difficult to see on the water so late at night.
Desperate: Authorities conducted a three-hour search for the two people on Friday night and the hunt resumed on Saturday morning
Ring: The pair were planning to get married on August 10
The cause of the accident is under investigation.
The New York State Thruway Authority, which is overseeing the bridge project, said it was reviewing safety procedures.
'Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families during this difficult time,' the authority said in a statement. It added that the lighting on the barges appeared to be functioning normally.
Pile driving that had been scheduled to take place Saturday was suspended because of the accident.
Efforts: The bride-to-be's mother Carol Stewart (center) speaks to an official during the search for her daughter's body
Fearing the worst: Rescue workers are seen on boats near a barge on the Hudson River south of the Tappan Zee Bridge during the search
Anthony Apolito, 18, a restaurant valet, saw the survivors being carried ashore by emergency services.
He told the New York Post: 'There was a lot of people that didn't look too conscious and a lot of people in neck braces. One guy, his face was covered in blood.
'They were still stunned from the crash, they didn't know what was going on,' Apolito added.
There are a number of barges located both north and south of the Tappan Zee bridge as construction begins on a replacement for that aging structure that is scheduled for completion in 2017.
Fears: Miss Stewart's mother (center) told reporters: 'It can't end like this'

MOSCOW — Russian provocateurs Pussy Riot are back in action, releasing a new music video nearly a year after three members went to prison for a prank denouncing Vladimir Putin.
The video shows band members in trademark bright-colored ski masks and short skirts, cavorting and shrieking atop an oil rig. Backed by hectic guitar and a drum fusillade, they liken the Russian president to an Iranian ayatollah.
As they pour oil on a large photo of Igor Sechin, chairman of state oil giant Rosneft, they shout "Homophobic reptile — get out of history."
One member of the collective, who gave only her stage name of Grelka, said after the video's Tuesday release that "the main message is that Putin has spread the country's wealth among his friends."
Three members were sentenced to two years for an anti-Putin "punk prayer" in Moscow's main cathedral. One was later released on probation.
The convictions, on the charge of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred, sparked widespread criticism of Russia as suppressing free speech and opposition.

Will Harry make Cressida his princess? Claims playboy prince will propose to dance student girlfriend
- Kensington Palace is expecting an announcement this year, sources say
- Cressida Bonas is 'The One and Prince Harry is planning proposal'
- Pair dating since July, 2012, and went to Botswana on holiday last month
Prince Harry is planning on proposing to his girlfriend Cressida Bonas by the end of the year, royal insiders have predicted.
The Prince, 28, has been dating the 24-year-old dance student since July last year but sources have claimed the relationship has become far more serious and they are bracing themselves for an engagement announcement.
Harry sparked rumours earlier this month when he whisked Cressida off on a romantic African safari, just like his brother William did with Kate in 2010 when he asked her to marry him.
Sources claim Prince Harry is on the verge of proposing to girlfriend Cressida Bonas
The Daily Star Sunday quoted sources who said Prince Harry has joked in private that a proposal could be made 'any day' now.
The insider told the newspaper: 'The way it's looking now people close to Harry and Cressida predict an engagement by the end of the year and a spring wedding.
'Cressida is The One. People have heard Harry talking about how special Cress is and about getting engaged.'
The source claims the Prince, an Apache helicopter pilot, has proved how serious he is about their relationship by taking her to Africa to show her the work he does with anti-landmine charity the HALO Trust in Angola.
It was a cause championed by his mother Diana, Princess of Wales and is also one close to his heart.
Prince Harry recently sparked engagement rumours by taking Cressida on safari in Botswana following a charity trip to anti-landmine charity the HALO in Angola
The charity is close to Prince Harry's heart and was one championed by his mother Princess Diana
His mother visited minefields being cleared by the charity just before her death in 1997.
Their safari trip to Botswana also echoed the holiday Prince William and the future Duchess of Cambridge had in Kenya when he proposed to her in October 2010.
According to The Daily Star Sunday, Kensington Palace is preparing itself for an engagement announcement and security teams are even accommodating it in their duty rotas.
Dancer Cressida, who recently graduated from the Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance in Greenwich, avoids the public eye wherever possible and the couple are very careful about being photographed together.
Sources say that Cressida Bonas (pictured right with sister Isabella Calthorpe) is The One
However, they were seen arriving at Kings Cross Station together following the society wedding of the year of Thomas van Straubenzee and the Duke of Northumberland's daughter Lady Melissa Percy in June.
Prince Harry's ex Chelsy Davy was a bridesmaid at the wedding.
The pair split for good in 2011 after a seven year, off-off relationship and it is believed the pressures of the intense spotlight contributed to the break up.
Other than Cressida, Chelsy is the Prince's only serious relationship although he has been linked to a number of blondes.
He has previously dated lingerie model Florence Brudenell-Bruce but they split in August 2011.
A spokesman for Kensington Palace said it was a private matter and declined to comment.

The range of health issues facing America's veterans is both wide and ever-evolving. The American Legion recognizes this and provides valuable health-care information on a variety of conditions, as well as regularly updated information on the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Veterans get help, straight answers during Honolulu Veterans Crisis Command Center.
In two days, more than 60 veterans have received help at the Legion's Veterans Crisis Command Center.
American Legion believes having an independent authority investigate Phoenix VA Health Care System will lend more credibility to the findings.
During a Legion town hall meeting in Honolulu, veterans air some frustrations with being able to get to VA facilities, hear about VA services in their area.
A town hall meeting and crisis center for veterans will be held at American Legion Post 439 in La Feria.
The new guidelines will help veterans who left the military with undiagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder.
The three-day American Legion Veterans Crisis Command Center in Charlotte, N.C., assisted 238 veterans and family members.
During its national convention, The American Legion continues to help veterans with their health care and benefits.
Both veterans advocates praised for their leadership in Congress during Department of Veterans Affairs scandal.
New release from VA's Office of Inspector General reveals that 93 facilities are now being studied for falsifying appointment records.

Best online store to purchase Vanda/Ascda. orchids
Hello all,
I've been looking all around the internet for a place that really specializes in these types of orchids.
Looking for young orchids, anything NBS or younger.
Any help in my search would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again,
Take a look at RF Orchids. A little pricey IMO, but the 1 or 2 I've received from them as gifts were very nice. I'm sure you'll get a few more possibilities also.
Here is a link that might be useful: RF Orchids
I bought several Vanda family orchids from Bill Asia's ' Royal Orchid Club'. There has been some controversy as some people have very negative feelings about them. This seems to be related to plants other than vandaceous ones. Also they ship about twice a month so if you order at the wrong time you'll wait 2 weeks before you see your plants. The plants are shipped bare-root, requiring immediate attention something else some people don't like.
I have gotten a number of blooming sized vanda types from them and would recommend them for that only. Right now they have over 80 different vandaceous offerings. I would buy from them again.

Staying at IslaMar gave us a wonderful insight into the culture and daily life of Cozumel. The sounds and smells of the neighborhood became familiar and comforting. We adored Zuri and wish that we could take her home with us. The efforts of the staff were extremely helpful in dealing with a foreign environment and were greatly appreciated. Cozumel has enriched our lives with a memorable experience! Gracias!!!

In an unusual move, Google may eschew ARM for a 64-bit Intel Moorefield SoC in the long-rumored Nexus 8.

Such is the case with the Nexus 7 (2012), that is today's daily deal on the bargain bin site. The tablet launched in the summer of 2012, seemed to take the Android tablet game by storm with its insanely low price and decent set of specs, and was the first in a line of tablets that most Android enthusiasts consider a "must have" each year.

Regardless of what they are known for to us, ASUS released a teaser video a few days ago, showing off balls featuring either the number 4, 5, or 6 on them. What could these numbers point to?

It should be noted that the outer harbor is unprotected from the Northeast. The Harbormaster claims that in the event of a storm, boats will be allowed to anchor in Katama Bay (assuming one can find anchor space in between all the new for profit moorings.)

PERSONAL HEALTH; The Pill at 40: New Uses for a Drug That Changed Society
By JANE E. BRODY
Published: May 9, 2000
Forty years ago today, the Food and Drug Administration approved a medication that set off a medical and social revolution.
The medication was an oral contraceptive called Enovid, introduced in 1960 by Searle to a nation of women increasingly eager for greater certainty in preventing unwanted pregnancies. Though few realized it then, ''the Pill,'' as it came to be called, has turned out to have a number of ancillary health benefits as well as some serious side effects.
The pill was developed by Dr. Gregory Pincus and Dr. John Rock. Dr. Rock, then a devout Roman Catholic, had hoped in vain that his church would accept it as a ''natural'' means of birth control, although many Catholic women adopted it despite papal proscriptions.
The pill arrived at a time when abortion was illegal everywhere in the United States and when growing numbers of young women were striving to liberate themselves from the social trappings of premarital chastity and vocational suppression.
It took just five years for the pill to become the leading reversible contraceptive method in the United States. Since its introduction, an estimated 468 million American women have taken the pill. Today more than 16 million American women are on the pill, making it the most popular contraceptive technique outside of sterilization.
By blocking ovulation, the synthetic hormones in the birth control pill, when taken properly, proved to be better than 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. Only surgical sterilization could match that, and sterilization is not an option for women who may want to have children one day.
Diaphragms and condoms, which had to be used at the time of intercourse, took their toll on spontaneity and romance and did not offer enough contraceptive security for women seeking to complete their educations and establish careers before starting families.
For the first time, the pill gave women a highly effective reversible method of contraception that was completely divorced from the sex act.
But also for the first time, millions of young, healthy women were taking a potent drug every day, raising legitimate concerns about drug-induced health risks of potentially epidemic proportions. All drugs, including those sold over the counter, have side effects.
And, as predicted, serious, even fatal, complications did occur among users of oral contraceptives, especially among women who smoked or were over 35 and those who used the early high-dose pills.
These problems prompted a host of warnings and stimulated research that resulted in safer products containing far smaller hormone doses, less than one-hundredth the amount of estrogen in the original pill.
All the oral contraceptives work by suppressing the pituitary hormones that prompt the ovaries to release eggs ripe for fertilization. Most products contain synthetic versions of both estrogen and progesterone. The so-called minipills contain just synthetic progesterone (progestin). Although the minipill is slightly less effective than the combination pills, it can be used by women, like those who are breast-feeding, who cannot take estrogen.
In both versions, the hormones are taken daily for 21 days, usually starting from the first day of a woman's menstrual cycle, then stopped to allow the built-up tissue lining the uterus to be shed as menstruation.
Women can now choose from among 59 different products, all variations on the original theme. The types of synthetic estrogen and progestin, the dosages and the design of dispensing packets vary, and some products include seven dummy pills in addition to the 21 active ones to help women remember to take a pill each day. In 1984 Ortho Pharmaceuticals was the first to introduce a triphasic version of the pill, which provides three different hormone levels in the course of the month, more closely mimicking a woman's natural hormone cycle.
Health Concerns
The pill in its current formulations is a remarkably safe drug, and the overwhelming majority of women who take it experience neither minor side effects like breakthrough bleeding or serious health damage. Still, the pill today is sold with an insert mandated by the F.D.A. and filled with more facts, figures and warnings than most women would want to know but should know if they wish to avoid becoming a statistic.
Blood clots, which can result in heart attacks, strokes, thrombophlebitis, pulmonary embolism or vision-impairing eye damage, are the most common serious side effect and are most likely to occur in women who smoke and in older women. A smoker in her middle to late 20's is seven times as likely to die as a nonsmoker from pill-related clots, and the older the woman, the more smoking increases her risk if she also takes the pill. Women who have already had a clot-related disorder are advised not to take the pill.
For many years, women over 40 were told to avoid the pill because of clot-associated risks. Then, in 1989 an advisory committee of the F.D.A. noted that if a woman over 40 was healthy and did not smoke, the pill's benefits probably outweighed possible risks, assuming she used the lowest-dose pill that was effective.

We use IBM WebSphere MQ for SWIFT messages. When a SWIFT message is received, it is processed and put into Local Queues as the processing goes on. Its like the follows :
Outside World > Q1 > App > Q2 > App > Q3 > App
The queues are local queues. But there has been considerable delay when the message reaches the Application from Q1/Q2/Q3 ... like days. And this happens arbitrarily. We have no clue as to why this is happening. Most of the messages get thru pretty quick but there are a couple of them in 3-4 days which arrive late.
All this happens in a transaction and we use Atomikos as our Transaction Manager.
Has anybody faced a similar issue before ? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Midhun.
