Pa. cracks down on unemployment benefits for inmates
HARRISBURG — People convicted of a crime are not supposed to be able to get unemployment benefits, or so says Pennsylvania law.
But until recently the state had no sure way to stop payments from getting to inmates in county prisons, costing millions in fraudulent payments every year.
State officials announced a potential solution this week. Using an existing data system called the Pennsylvania Justice Network, the state can cross-match inmate data with unemployment records to identify unemployment beneficiaries in county prisons and stop payments.
Sara Goulet, press secretary for the Department of Labor and Industry, said officials have already stopped payment to about 3,000 people, saving about $18 million in unemployment compensation payouts.
The department attaches an annual savings of about $6 million for every 1,000 unemployment compensation claimants identified, Goulet said. The savings are calculated using average unemployment payouts and duration.
Here's how inmates who no longer qualify for unemployment could continue collecting: Once someone begins receiving unemployment, benefits are renewed every two weeks, which can be done over the phone. The applicant can also have someone renew on their behalf. The majority of payments are received via direct deposit or applied to a debit card, eliminating the need for personal check-cashing.
The Department of Labor and Industry works with the Department of Corrections on a monthly basis to identify state prison inmates receiving unemployment benefits. But no similar setup was in place for county prison systems.
Instead, the primary way the state would learn about inmates collecting unemployment was for someone to report it to the state —maybe an intake officer finding an unemployment compensation debit card in a wallet or a relative or neighbor calling the state.
But even if fraud was identified, the money could still be lost for good.
"If someone continues to file or someone files on their behalf while they're in prison and then we find out they're doing it because we've gotten word through the prison or someone else, then we've got to reclaim the overpayments and that can be very difficult," Goulet said. Continued...
Now, individual inmate information will be automatically checked against unemployment compensation rolls. In the state's words, this is "saving the UC trust fund and the commonwealth's businesses and employees millions of dollars," a news release says.
The majority of Pennsylvania's county prisons – 51 out of 63 – already use JNET to access and cross-reference data such as criminal history, driving records, prison records and other inmate information, said Dan Egan, spokesman for the Office of Administration.
JNET has been around for about two decades, Egan said. Adding the unemployment compensation data-check started with a pilot program last May.
It took about a week, and maybe $5,000 worth of staff time, Egan said.

Cliff Bleszinski, best known for his work at Epic Games creating such iconic franchises as Jazz Jackrabbit, Unreal Tournament and Gears of War, has announced a new project; shaving his head to support St. Baldrick's Foundation, a group that works tirelessly to help children with cancer and continue the search for a cure.
St. Baldrick's works on a crowd-sourcing type of format, if Bleszinski gets enough donations then off comes the hair. He is asking for $10,000 for St. Baldricks and, at the time of this writing, the project is sitting at $4,513 - just about halfway to the goal.
Speaking to Kotaku, Bleszinski said:
"I like my hair. A lot. However, I also hate cancer. More. I hate it even more when it happens to kids. So I've decided to join the Saint Baldrick's event and see what I can crowdsource to earn for that lovely charity BY HAVING MY HEAD SHAVED.
I've already put some of my own money into it. Whatever you can give would be lovely."
If you want to see what Cliff Bleszinski would look like with no hair, or if you just want to do your part to help children with cancer around the world, this is your chance to be a hero, a real-life Gear in a war that must be won.
You can make your donations at http://www.stbaldricks.org/participants/mypage/644195/2013 and remember that it's not how much you give that counts, simply that you cared enough to give it.

Fashion is associated with the young and mostly with ladies although slowly and surely it has become a trend for almost everybody. No one wishes to be seen out of fashion in terms of dressing and in order to ensure that, theyll try as much as they can to keep up with the latest designs of shoes, dresses, suits, hairdos, and some will even stretch to their rides, if their budgets can allow.
To narrow fashion down, girls are more inclined towards fashion than men and for their own reasons. That can be explained by the number of fashion magazines retailing, a large percentage of which talk and cover fun for fashionable girls . Girls always want to stay on top of the game with whatever comes up in the fashion world, theyll flip the pages of magazines because they dont want to be left behind at all.
The choice of what an individual will call fashionable is dependent on time and budget, and sometimes the occasion too. Outgoing girls and teenagers generally sometimes do not dress to feel good but basically to impress and show off. Weve got to give it to them, its their time perhaps you had yours and you blew it or utilized it even better. Whatever the case, it is always fun to be trendy as it gives the person some inner confidence. (more...)

Additionally, a real estate consulting firm from Atlanta, C&W was hired to evaluate all potential properties in the Jackson area and to recommend the best location for the Department of Revenue (DOR) to the Department of Finance and Administration (DFA). After an exhaustive process, the top four choices were: 1. Landmark Center- lease (Downtown) 2. Landmark Center (purchase) 3. Regions Plaza- lease (Downtown) and 4. South Pointe- lease (Clinton).
Shortly after these findings, Kevin Upchurch, the Executive Director of the DFA, sent a letter to then Gov. Barbour recommending that the state go forward with either leasing or purchasing the Landmark Center Downtown for the new offices of the DOR. Barbour then wrote the legislature recommending this location as well. The vote to approve was 52-0 in the Senate. However, the speaker (Rep. Phillip Gunn, R-Clinton) did not allow a vote on the bill so it died in the House. Politics had reared its head, and the "site reset button" was pushed.
Since that time, the purchase price of the Landmark Center had dropped from $14.1 million to $7.4 million. Realizing that (and realizing the purchase of the building was number 2 in the C&W study) and ascertaining what impact this would have on the prior study, Downtown Jackson Partners entered into a contract with Millsaps College's Else School of Management for further analysis. This second study clearly indicated that purchasing the Landmark Center was the best use of taxpayer dollars and would save the State of Mississippi $30 million during the next 20 years.
Additionally, the Millsaps study was broader in scope than the C&W report, as it illuminated the abundance of office space the state leases per employee. Compared to the GSA federal standards (218 rentable square feet per employee) and to the states of Texas (225 rsf per employee) and Virginia (222 rsf per employee), the state of Mississippi averages 323 rsf per employee which is almost 50 percent more than GSA, Texas and Virginia. Reducing the square footage of office lease space to the standards used by our federal government and these two states would result in an additional $5 million in annual savings.
Of course each city presenting a proposal would love to welcome the DOR as its new neighbors. Downtown Jackson certainly would, and relocating downtown would certainly help our challenged market. The real issue for all the taxpayers of the state, however, is prudent expenditure of our tax dollars. Two separate studies by two separate, reputable organizations, whose integrity cannot be challenged, have concluded the same thing. The Landmark Center Downtown is the clear choice. This is an important issue that doesn't need to be determined by lobbyists or political favor.
All of the above can be verified on the Downtown Jackson Partners website under "Articles of Interest".
Jim Barksdale, John Palmer, and Leland Speed all are prominent Mississippi business leaders and identified as Republicans. Contact them through Downtown Jackson Partners, 308 East Pearl Street, Suite 101, Jackson, MS 39201.

Songs on BackTrack (no mic) dissapearing :(
Like (0)
Heyo fellaz,
i didnt know to which topic should i post,
so i decided to post it in this one.
Here is my problem,
i recorded some tracks to my Backtrack,
and if i dont transport them to PC
in few hours when i turn my BT on , they r corrupted and unplayable,
i cant play them on comp or on backtrack in play mode option....
So i am asking,
anyone else has this problem?
And how the hell do i fix it? :/
And btw:
In record mode the blue light is flashing (which means it s 'OK)
in play mode green light is flashing (which is OK too)
but when i press play, i doesnt want to
(i think it corrupts the music file and than cant play it anymore.... )
Once again i must say,
this happens only after few hours of BT being ON or shutdown,
never in instant moment....
Please try resetting the Backtrack by pressing the button inside the pinhole on the back of the Backtrack (opposite side of the front panel controls). You may need to use a needle or safety pin to press it in.
Please let us know if the problem persists.
Yes, problem stays.....
If that's the case, there's an internal hardware malfunction occurring with your device. I see you're writing from Slovenia. If you purchased this unit new from an authorized dealer in your country within the past year, please contact the Line 6 Distributor in your region for a replacement unit.
Hello there guys:
Peranormaly: a question plz!
i have the same problem with my BT, but i didn't purchased it in my country and warranty already expired,
so i can't return my unit for a replacement, but if i take it to a service center it could be repaired?
Stay in the mix and in the know.
Latest offers, special deals and insider updates.

As all can see, John Barton's suggestion of Controlled Steel has, from a visual point, quite solid bases. Just as Greg's suggestion of Bonney, in the Zenel Variant.
Of course the actual ISN of said wrenches has limited relevance. No ISN was required to be on the wrenches, be it e.g. 3025, 1025 or 25 to denote size 1/2" x 19/32".
Please note:The Controlled steel and Bonney ZENEL pictures are borrowed from http://www.alloy-artifacts.com
Another possibility for the wrench in the pic is the Billings M-series...check Fig. 81 in the AA article....1942-1945 they had one with the same rounded ends of the indented portion, painted or plain steel due to Chrome and Cadmium shortages.....there even have them in a tapered shank type.
AND....Billings was providing wrenches for WWII Jeeps.....Hmmm.
lt.luke wrote::!: the Bonney Zenel and the Controlled Steel that Luca posted are two different sizes of wrench, which would easily account for the slightly different overall taper of the handle. Add that one is stamped on the head, which is quite easy to add per a different manufacturers spec, or even easier to leave off.
With all the discussion lately of sub-contracted tools and numerous different brands manufactured in the same factory:
I believe what we may have is a case of two brands made in the same forging die by the same company?
Wingnutt wrote:To my eye the heads on the Zenels are considerably more pear- than round-shaped, and the inset (or recessed panel) is deeper. (Same thing with the Billings M-seriers, not pictured.) FWIW, and with all the usual caveats in place for trying to identify tools based on old photographs, etc, I have to say that I think the Danielson Controlled Steel are a dead ringer for the wrenches in that Ford manual.
,has other characteristics that are not what appear in the 2GA kit

Obama spent most of the debate trying to draw Romney into a big fight and Romney spent most of the evening trying to avoid a big fight. That says quite a bit about who both men see as the frontrunner right now.
The Chicago Bears.
@saintvi - haha.
Clearly Obama.
RuPaul's Drag Race was on. #priorities
You know how biased the results to your question will be, right? RIGHT?
liquor companies, holy cow I'm loaded
I didn't get to see it I had to work late, sobbing. I heard Obama hands down, something about the eighties calling and wanting their foreign policy back LOL?
@randomneuralfirings - It probably says more about the way Obama got bashed for his passive first debate.
Vladmir Putin!
Winner of elections, collector of votes, politician. He is an electoral force that cannot be halted. He is a leader of men, tamer of wild beasts.
He is watching you. He is forever vigilant for his people. He cares. He cares about what they read in the papers, about what they write on the internet, about whether they congregate in groups of two or more. He maintains order. This pleases him greatly.
Vladmir Putin: Man of steel, man of rubber, leader of the world. He is the world.
It's frustrating, because it feels like they can't just have at it in an intellectual way. They have to dumb it down and use "zingers", and it's...just...insulting. You know it's just a big show.
The San Francisco Giants.
Obama for the most part. Romney was playing it safe. I was fantasizing about Paul Ryan the whole time though.
@randomneuralfirings - "Obama spent most of the debate trying to draw Romney into a big fight and Romney spent most of the evening trying to avoid a big fight. That says quite a bit about who both men see as the frontrunner right now."
In the same way, if I were to take a baseball bat and start caving your head in, the futibility of your shielding the blows would be a definite sign of your winning the fight.
The President clearly won this round.
The one in the middle!!!I actually did not watch the debate. but I will hear an awful lot about it tomorrow.
I just like that Bob Schieffer said Obama Bin Laden.
@Baseballchik138 - I know right. There's not even a point in asking this question...
Who won this debate? Israel.
@Celestial_Teapot - I clearly cannot match your penchant for violent fantasies and, um, "creative" vocabulary. I must concede to this temper in a teapot.
I think Obama did the best in the last debate, but Mitt Romney won them all because his policies are better than Obama's. We can't handle four more years of the same failed policies.
Christians read my blog about it here. (Link)
i would have rather seen the debate between woody harrilson vs george clooney
Obama. It was the same old same old from Romney with his constant lies and hugging Obama's policies.
