What are you to do when you are the producer of a talk show on HBO and you need to schedule a panel of three guests and you already have booked Christopher Hitchens and Salman Rushdie?
You don't want to run the risk that the episode becomes too wordy or bookish, or -God forbid- too intellectual, so, for counter-balance, you make sure that your third guest is a grade-A moron.
The producers of Bill Maher's show must have been thinking along these lines when they, in their infinite wisdom, decided to complete the trio with Mos Def.
For all you people unfamiliar with the hauntingly beautiful and hopelessly romantic world of rap music, Mos Def is also known as 'the intelligent rapper'.
If you have already watched the linked Youtube video you will at this point begin to wonder how feeble and disorderly the minds of the other rappers must be if, by comparison, this impudent piece of trash is considered intelligent.
I will help you out here; yes, most rappers are indeed excruciatingly, phenomenally, Sarah Palinly dumb.
Besides that, they are also inarticulate, vulgar, lewd, shallow and misogynistic to the point that the Taliban starts to look respectable, and the black community is doing itself an enormous disservice by not abjuring these talentless, base and odious clods.
Mos Def 'aks' a question which results in a little tussle with Hitchens, who, bless-his-whiskey-sodden-heart, will have none of the show's politically correct bullshit.
First my mind dwelled on the history and the particulars of the black community in America to explain the behavior of this fractious turd, but then it dawned on me that his attitude is perfectly in line with our pop-culture.
Mr. Definitely simply asserted that his opinion, uninformed and deranged as it was, had just as much value as everyone else's, simply because he held it.
If there was one thing I could alter in my chosen country of residence it would be that we stop giving credence to an opinion merely because it exists.
Of course, I would also outlaw Rod Stewart albums and demand a formal apology from the Canadian government for Celine Dion.

OXFORD, Ohio -- Sophomore Nathan Williams rebounded from a rough first inning to strike out a career-high 10 batters, while Ryan Elble and Kevin Bower both homered in a 13-5 rout of Dayton Wednesday night at McKie Field. The win avenged a 5-4 walk-off loss to the Flyers yesterday in Dayton.
Bower finished the contest 4-for-5 with three runs scored and four RBIs. Dan Walsh and John Crummy had three hits each, while three other RedHawks has a pair of hits.
Williams allowed the first three Flyers to reach base on a walk, single and another walk, then threw a wild pitch to fall behind 1-0. He recovered to get the next three batters out, although the second came on a sacrifice fly that made the score 2-0.
Williams retired 20 of the next 21 batters until a solo home run with two outs in the seventh. He struck out the side in the fourth and had a pair of Ks in both the second and third.
Meanwhile, Miami's offense got rolling. The RedHawks (19-20) had a big inning of their own in the first, scoring three times off two Dayton pitchers. Starter Denton Stegeman walked the first two batters and committed a balk. After a wild pitch that scored a run, he gave up a single to Bower and was replaced. Reliever Corey Johnson gave up a double on his second pitch, then allowed a game-tying sacrifice fly. Walsh capped the rally with an RBI single that pushed Miami ahead, 3-2.
The RedHawks added to the lead in the fourth on a leadoff triple by Walsh and sacrifice fly by Max Andresen, then added another sacrifice fly in the fifth for a 5-2 advantage.
In the sixth, Elble hit his first career home run with one out, then Bower drove in Matt Honchel, who had singled earlier in the frame.
Dayton (9-28-1) closed the gap on a solo home run by Spencer Rohr in the seventh, but Miami broke the game open in their half of the inning. The fourth sacrifice fly of the game made the score 7-3 before and RBI single by Jake Romano and three-run home run by Bower pushed the lead to 12-3.
Dayton tallied two unearned runs in the eighth, while Miami capped the scoring on an RBI double by Walsh in the bottom of the inning.
Williams improved to 4-2 with the win, while Johnson fell to 0-2 with the loss.
Miami returns to Mid-American Conference play this weekend with a key series at Northern Illinois. The Huskies are tied for first in the league with an 11-4 conference mark. The RedHawks are two games behind in a tie for third.

THIS WEEKEND I'll be at Maker Faire in San Mateo!
Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors. All of these "makers" come to Maker Faire to show what they have made and to share what they have learned.
– From "What is Maker Faire"
For the FIRST TIME this year it's a three-day show: there's an "Industry Night" on Friday night, and then it's open to the public like usual on Saturday & Sunday.
WHAT INDUSTRY is that referring to? I dunno! We all work hard, you and me. We are all industrious.
I will be in the BAZAAR, which is a craft-fair-style sort of sub-fair within Maker Faire. At BOOTH #29:
Perhaps you would like to come get a book or a puzzle or a Roll-a-Sketch…or even just a firm handshake or a wave from a respectful distance! We will have all of these things available.
If you will be ANYWHERE ELSE this weekend, you can now get our puzzles!! They're available at TopatoCo (with all my other great things) or Amazon (with, like, peanut butter or whatever).
COMING UP SOON: A special project involving Roll-a-Sketch original watercolor paintings.
If you would like to own one of these limited, one-of-a-kind pieces (last seen in the 2014 Wondermark Calendar or in postcards)…
Or some OTHER neat things…
Your chance is coming up. SOON.
See you at Maker Faire!!
Voice actor SungWon Cho has a series on Tumblr of audio performances of comic strips! (The video above is him, too.)
I've seen comics narrated a few times and it's always pretty fun. SungWon does it exceptionally well.
Of course I am partial to his reading of a Wondermark strip! NICELY DONE, SUNGWON.
But they are all great.
(Note: Tumblr's audio player has known bugs with Chrome. Use a different browser if it doesn't work.)
I also love seeing this sort of thing done in general: talented people having fun with their talent in a way that other people can share. That can do more for a career than fancy business cards, or expensive websites, or press releases extolling your own greatness. Heck I'm sharing his work right now!!

The U.S. Copyright Office has launched a new Fair Use Index:
Fair use is a longstanding and vital aspect of American copyright law. The goal of the Index is to make the principles and application of fair use more accessible and understandable to the public by presenting a searchable database of court opinions, including by category and type of use (e.g., music, internet/digitization, parody).
The Fair Use Index is designed to be user-friendly. For each decision, we have provided a brief summary of the facts, the relevant question(s) presented, and the court's determination as to whether the contested use was fair.
The Index itself is a series of summaries of key legal decisions regarding copyright and fair use, largely from the last sixty years.
It's super interesting to me! Wondermark is, of course, created using images from the public domain. Which is not the same as fair use; public domain works have no copyright, whereas fair use is made of works that are copyrighted.
But copyright in all its gleaming facets is still a topic near and dear to my heart as an artist, author, and attentive internet citizen: I've written a fair amount about copyright and intellectual property.
The Fair Use Index includes some watershed copyright cases, such as 1978′s Walt Disney Productions v. Air Pirates, the precedent that defines the infringement threshold for copying copyrighted characters for "parody" purposes.
It might be said that under the Air Pirates test, the entire product line of the t-shirt website TeeFury is illegal, and I notice that very conveniently, most of their designs are only available in strictly limited, before-they-can-send-us-a-cease-and-desist editions.
Also included is the "Betamax" case, 1984′s Sony Corporation v. Universal City Studios, which ruled that recording a free broadcast of live television onto videotape for later home viewing — referred to as "time-shifting" — was, indeed, legal. "Home taping" (of both television and radio) was the big I.P. boogieman threat before "piracy", and this court decision was what enabled the VCR, as a consumer device, to exist at all.
In browsing, I also came across some interesting cases I hadn't heard about before, such as:
• 1985′s MGM v. Honda Motor Corp., in which MGM sued — and won — claiming that a spy-themed Honda commercial was too reminiscent of their copyrighted character, James Bond (and that it damaged the James Bond brand to show him in a Honda);
• 2004′s MasterCard v. Nader 2000, in which MasterCard sued — and lost — a copyright infringement suit against Ralph Nader's presidential campaign commercials which copied/parodied its "priceless" slogan;
• 2006′s CleanFlicks v. Soderbergh, in which the company CleanFlicks, which edited objectionable content out of Hollywood movies and re-sold them to customers who preferred them that way, sought a declaratory judgment that doing so was legal — and lost. They thought they'd be OK because they'd buy a copy of the actual DVD, add in the edited version, and re-sell that precise physical DVD — not unlike buying a book, blacking out various passages, and then re-selling that physical book. Anyway, they lost;
• And of course, 2011′s CCA and B v. F+W Media, which ruled that the parody book Elf Off the Shelf (featuring a drunken, naughty elf), was, indeed, legal. Thank God for that.
The Fair Use Index: really great browsing, if you're interested in copyright!

Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday October, 13
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday October, 13
Craig Davis
Today's free play is on Ohio State/Indiana to go OVER the total.
This year's version of OSU's defense isn't much different than last year's, and coming off an emotional win over Nebraska last week, I've got to think their defense is going to come out flat.
Shoot, OSU might even fall behind. Remember, this is a night game and the folks in Bloomington will have all day to get nice and "waspy"!! They will be loud, obnoxious, and supportive of their Hoosiers... win or lose.
HC Kevin Wilson has done a nice job with this offense since taking over, but the defense is another story. They couldn't even hold a double digit lead vs. Michigan State in a game they probably should have won. And today they face an Ohio State offense that racked up 600 yards of offense and 63 points in a big win over Nebraska last week.
No, I'm not saying OSU is going to score 63 points again today, but I don't see any reason they can't come in around 48-49. That means I only need a few TDs from Indiana... and that's not going to be a problem.
Take OSU/Indiana to go OVER the posted total as your free play of the day.

Navy outright last night for free.
Now a 15-7 freebie run.
Your Saturday freebie is Florida State as the big chalk at home against Boston College.
No doubt in my mind the Seminoles will be seething after blowing a 16-0 lead last week at N.C. State in a 17-16 loss - their first of the season. Expect the Sems to show no mercy on the backsliding Eagles who come to Tallahassee having lost each of their last three games both straight up and against the spread, as Boston College is now just 1-4 this year with their only win coming against Maine.
Boston College allowed nearly 600 yards of offense in their loss to Army, and they also allowed 5 sacks of the quarterback in that setback. The Florida State defense should be in the backfield all night long in this one, and the fact they are allowing only 18 points per game through their first six games does not bode well for the Eagles at all.
Florida State romped BC 38-7 last season in Chesnut Hill, and a similar final would be no surprise at all in this season's meeting.
It is a four touchdown impost, but I see the Seminoles taking this one by a full five touchdowns.
Lay it with the Sems in a big blowout.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday October, 13
Chris Jordan
My free winner is going to be taking you to Saturday's Red River Rivalry, as I jump ahead to the annual Texas-Oklahoma battle.
Amazingly, there's a little more to this annual showdown - one college football's most colorful rivalries - than is usually at stake. It's not too often we find neither team ranked in the Top 10 - this is the first time since 1999 - and it'll mark the first time in 15 seasons both tams will have a conference loss upon meeting.
Survival of the fittest during the Texas State Fair. And something tells me the money has to go on the 'Horns in this one, as I just don't beleive the Sooners are going to be able to stop Texas' lethal running game. The Longhorns average 209.4 yards per game behind a power trifecta of Malcolm Brown, Joe Bergeron and Johnathan Gray. And the Sooners check in with a sub-par ranking of 56th in the nation against the rush, allowing more than 140 yards per game. That number will swell against the aggies.
This is a double-revenge situation for the Longhorns (4-1, 1-1), as the Sooners (3-1, 1-1 Big 12) have won the last two games. So there is even more motivation for Texas, who I think will be poised under the guidance of quarterback David Ash. He's prospered nicely under offensive coordinators Bryan Harsin and Major Applewhite, not to mention the complement of having three gifted backs.
The biggest question mark coming into this season was whether or not Ash and/or Case McCoy could avoid turnovers and avoid breakdowns on the road. Well, Ash has thrown 11 touchdowns versus just one interception this season, and ranks third nationally in passer efficiency. And, the Longhorns are 2-0 on the road with a 66-31 win at Ole Miss and a 41-36 win at Oklahoma State. Overall, Texas ranks sixth in the nation in producing an average of 46.8 points per game.
On defense, I honestly think by the end of this season we could be looking at a seasoned Longhorns stop unit with the best pass rush and pass defense in the Big 12. The team's linebackers wreak of potential, and though they come in off a breakdown - and the team's first loss - against West Virginia, I reserve the right to remind everyone the Mountaineers may have the most electrified offense in the land.
I know Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones is on pace to break Steve Davis' school record with a 33rd career win, as he's sitting at 32-8. I know Sooners coach Bob Stoops is 8-5 head-to-head against Texas' Mack Brown, including wins the last two seasons. And I know the higher-ranked Sooners will be looking to carry over momentum from last year's 55-17 win in this game.
But believe me when I tell you this is a team that would make one helluva statement with a win here, because Brown has been quoted in saying his Longhorns are maybe two or three seasons away from another national title run. It's going to take season-building wins - big wins - like this game against Oklahoma. Big game for the 'Horns, and I'm going to take the points. I'll even buy the half point up to +3-1/2, in case the line goes back down to +3.

Saturday free play winner on the underdog Commodores plus the points as they play host to Florida in what we like to call a "sandwich game".
Florida is fresh off their huge emotional upset win at home over LSU, and they do have a home clash with Top-Five South Carolina up next, not to mention their annual "cocktail party" with Georgia the weekend after. It will be interesting to see if Will Muschamp can keep his team on even keel this weekend in Nashville.
Vandy got a jolt in the arm with their upset win at Missouri last weekend, and they are a perfect 9-0 against the spread at home under head coach John Franklin, including their opening night underdog cover against South Carolina in a game they surely could have won outright.
Florida has not lost outright to Vanderbilt since the late 1980's, and I do not expect them to lose outright in this spot, but the dynamics are certainly there for Vandy to keep the Gators on their toes for all four quarters.
Live home underdog in this one.
Play Vanderbilt plus the points.

Wisconsin +1
Purdue stepped up in class last week and got waxed by a very average Michigan team at home, 44-13, and we could see a similar result today. The Badgers' offensive line and tight ends are big enough to handle Purdue's defensive front, and that will allow the offense to be aggressive with their play-calling, just like last week when it steamrolled Illinois. The Badgers -- who have covered 5 of their last 6 as an underdog -- have been a different team on offense since Joel Stave took over the starting quarterback duties from Maryland transfer Danny O'Brien, averaging 31.7 points and 381.7 total yards per game, compared to 16.3 points and 276 total yards in its first three games with O'Brien at the helm. The Badgers have won the last four in the series by an average of 31 points per game and get the "W" again today as they close in on a berth in the Big 10 Championship Game.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday October, 13
MLB Predictions
Tigers / Yankees Under 8
While posting this up we've already seen line movement working against us, so I'm going to be quick here with the write up. The Tigers scored 17 runs over their 5 games vs the Athletics (3.4 runs per game), while giving up just 11 runs over those 5 games. New York had a big 7 run Game 1, but in their next 4 games they scored just 9 runs. Over the course of the series the Yankees allowed just 10 runs against (2 per game on avg). Doug Fister went 7 innings allowing 6 hits and 2 earned runs with 8 strike outs in his start, while Pettitte went 7 innings giving up 7 hits and 3 earned runs with 5 strike outs in his start. The UNDER is 6-1-2 in the Tigers last 9 overall, and 11-4-2 in Fister's last 17 road starts. The UNDER is 4-0 in the Yankees last 4 overall, and 4-0 in Pettitte's last 4 home starts. Neither team has really hot bats right now, and with two good starting pitchers on the mound runs shouldn't be easy to come by. Take the UNDER.

What Is the GIANT Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece?
The GIANT series introduces a new concept in saxophone mouthpiece design that we call
"Stealth Metal"
combining the outside shape and look of a hard rubber mouthpiece with the precision of
Aerospace Grade Hard Anodized Aluminum
The GIANT has a dark, big saxophone sound but with strong projection and cut. The JodyJazz GIANT is excellent for Jazz, Straight Ahead, Bebop, Big Band, even Rock, Funk, and Blues. Due to its versatility, it can blend nicely with a concert band or saxophone quartet.
Big • Complex • Timeless
The GIANT is a great saxophone mouthpiece that seems to appeal to a very broad variety of players.

Four Goals in Creating the JodyJazz GIANT Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece
To capture the very best of our popular HR* hard rubber line of mouthpieces and then through 3D modeling take it to the next level.
To create a tenor sax mouthpiece that is both warm and dark but with has a huge sound at the same time.
To make a metal mouthpiece with the same cutting edge technology as our DV sax mouthpieces, but costs less to produce since we don't 24kt Gold Plate the Hard Anodized Aluminum.
To demand and achieve the most rigorous QUALITY CONTROL possible. Each mouthpiece is individually play tested by Jody Espina or one of our professional saxophonists on staff to insure a perfect seal with the reed and proper response throughout the range of the saxophone.

The GIANT Difference
5 Axis CNC Machining

Unique Design
- The unique inner and outer shape of the JodyJazz GIANT Tenor Saxophone Mouthpiece gives it a unique sound and feel. This is a unique chamber design.
Hand Finished
- Each GIANT mouthpiece is hand finished to ensure the absolute best quality and is individually play tested to ensure a perfect seal with the reed and proper response throughout the range of the saxophone.
A Giant Step for Your Sound
not loud,
The Giant has a large chamber and a large sound. This tenor saxophone mouthpiece is somewhat unique in the fact that normally to get a lot of projection you have to have a smaller chamber, which gives you a brighter more cutting sound. And when a mouthpiece has a larger chamber the sound becomes warmer but the projection goes way down. Another way to say that is that large chamber saxophone mouthpieces are typically quieter. But the Giant has a large chamber and huge warm sound due to the following unique factors that make up the Giant: Material – Anodized Aluminum, Facing Curve – this is a brand new facing curve that allows maximum reed vibration, Baffle – this is the material inside the mouthpiece right next to the tip rail (extremely important for projection), Chamber Shape – The Giant has it's own unique chamber shape which is allowing warmth with projection.
not focused,
The Giant produces a sound that has a core and more. There are many aspects to a saxophone sound and when we say a mouthpiece has a focused sound we mean that you hear more core to the sound than anything. The chamber and material combination of the Giant are allowing it to create a sound that can be shaped by the player and ultimately have many interesting and complex aspects to the sound creating unique beauty to your saxophone sound.
not vintage,
There are so many Jazz saxophone mouthpieces on the market today that are simply trying to recreate mouthpieces of the past. When making the Giant we did not have this goal in mind although we think that those players wishing to evoke the sound of Classic Jazz mouthpieces should look at the Giant. But rather we were trying to move into the future using state of the art manufacturing techniques, new material and new ideas to create a new Classic Jazz Sound.
Stealth Metal
The Giant has the outside shape and look of a hard rubber mouthpiece but the Anodized Aluminum material gives it the precision of a metal mouthpiece. CNC machined to exact tolerances. The large chamber is expertly hand finished to produce an extraordinarily full sound.

Rated 2.6 out of 5�by 14 reviewers.
Rated 2 out of 5�by P90Xer Heart rate minitor/ Caloric counter susp Use this on a weekly basis and it consistantly provides inaccurate heart rate and caloric count. We use side by side with another and the other provide a more true stats. September 10, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5�by TerribleT Nice watch, bad heart rate monitor The purpose of this purchase was to allow me to quickly and easily check my heart rate during exercise. It takes longer than I'd like to get a reading when I DO get a reading; more often than not it flashes like it's working on a reading and then just goes back to the time. User error? Maybe, but all you do is put a finger on the metal part above or below the watch face. Frustrating to not be able to get a reading. October 16, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Alegna Exacty what I was looking for I love this watch. You don't have to wear the weird heart rate monitor straps. You put your finger on the silver button on the watch itself for a couple of seconds and it reads your heart rate. Says if it is high or low too. Small enough for a girls wrist. It has pedometer, clock, alarm, and a stop watch timer also. January 24, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5�by Dee Don't waste your money! This watch only monitors calories if your walking. It does not monitor other activities if your arm is not swinging. I've reset and called customer support and watch is just poor quality and inaccurate. It says I only burn 40 cals after one hour of spinning. If your wrist gets sweaty, the heart rate monitor will not read. Spend a little more for a better sports watch, but this is just an expensive timer for me. It's also very bulky so the face gets all scratched up, and the band is impossible to clean. April 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by chooview working out the watch was exactly what the package described. light weight and easy to read May 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by FitnessSeaker Mislead Bought this product to replace my polar heart monitor. Huge mistake. Save your money. It does not make clear that your heart rate is only measured when you press and hold for almost a minute. Impossible to do during an intense workout. Came up with very inaccurate results. Want my money back. April 2, 2013

Looks like it did on the computer
Wow, the colors and picture is exactly as it previewed on the computer . The only thing Magnet Street might want to mention is the cost of postage for the postcard is the same as a 1st class letter (.44) instead of the regular postcard mailing rate(.29).
Perfect Save the Date cards
We loved these! They were just perfect - the groom even picked them out!

Tracy Breasure has left her position as director of the Lenoir County Council on Aging, and New Bern resident Mineko Holloway has taken her place.
Holloway managed the Family Caregiver Support program at the Eastern Carolina Council of Governments' Area Agency on Aging in New Bern for the past six years.
Her focus there was mainly respite care, or temporary care that allows home caregivers a brief time away from their care-giving responsibilities. She developed a voucher-based respite service model that included underserved rural family members in Lenoir, Carteret and Duplin counties.
Holloway also set up educational events, such as workshops, conferences and programs, for professionals and the public.
For two years prior, she was senior community service employment program coordinator at the ECCCOG, placing and managing older workers in public and nonprofit job positions in five counties.
For about three years, Holloway operated a five-star child care center in New Bern.
Her present position allows the Southern California native to work at the local level of government and stay in Eastern North Carolina.
"I felt like moving to a local level would allow advancement on my career path," she said, "while continuing to live on the East Coast."
She said it also allows her "to serve more people."
"I didn't really want to be removed from the clients," she said. "… I would still like the opportunity to engage with the people while still taking care of business."
The Council on Aging provides hot on-site lunches and Meals on Wheels for older adults. It also offers activities, educational programs, a variety of classes, an exercise room and in-home healthcare. There are satellite locations in Pink Hill and La Grange.
Holloway is currently working on a master's degree in social work — a three-year program at ECU — and anticipates graduating in the spring of 2015. She attends classes on Saturdays.
"I reached a point in work," she said, "where I felt like I was doing as much as I can with what I knew."
Holloway earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology with a minor in child development and family relations in 2007 at ECU.
She is a member of the N.C. Association on Aging and the Aging Programs Advisory Council of Coastal Community Action, facilitator of the Alzheimer's caregiver support group in Morehead City and laughter yoga leader.
"I guess there's a sense of balanced conscience at the end of the day," Holloway said, "that you can live with yourself, that you're producing good work — something meaningful."
The Council on Aging is open to seniors from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

VA chipping away at oldest disability claims in backlog
Friday - 5/24/2013, 7:16am EDT
The Department of Veterans Affairs, struggling with an intractable backlog of disability payment claims, which currently stands at 559,000, has focused its resources within the past month on veterans who have been waiting the longest — two years or more. VA officials say the approach is working, and that in a month, the oldest part of the backlog will be completely eliminated.
VA made the decision April 19 to take an all-hands-on-deck approach to its oldest claims and process each and every one within 60 days. A little more than halfway through that time period, things are on track, said Allison Hickey, VA's Under Secretary for Benefits.
She said the department started with nearly 68,000 extremely old claims, the oldest of which dates back 20 years. As of this week, it's reached a decision on 51 percent of them.
"I'm encouraged that this initiative is working," she said. "The grant rate for this category of claims is 70 percent, and it's on par with our historical average. These are quality decisions for our veterans. Our national claim-level quality for April was 90.57 percent, an all-time high for VA."
Hickey said VA is also taking steps to start sending payments to veterans who have been waiting the longest, even in cases where it still needs more evidence to make a final decision.
"We made an important policy decision that allows for a provisional rating based on the current evidence that VA has obtained, provided that it meets the minimum legal requirements," she said. "The goal of the provisional rating is to provide veterans with benefits more quickly, but at the same time, it gives them a safety net."
Mixed reactions
VA also cut its overall number of backlogged claims — those that have been pending for more than 125 days — by about 50,000 over the last two months, Hickey told the House Veterans Affairs Committee, where lawmakers had mixed reactions to the figures.
Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.), the committee chairman, said it's good news that veterans who have been waiting multiple years for an answer now have one. But VA's ability to now process those claims begs an obvious question.
"What do you tell a veteran who's been waiting for two or three years? All of a sudden, within 30 days, you've been able to give a permanent decision. How does it happen that a file can sit for that long without a permanent decision being made?" he asked during Thursday's hearing.
Hickey said the department doesn't consider years-long waits to be acceptable. But the largest contributing factor, she said, was VA Secretary Eric Shinseki's 2010 decision to make it easier for Vietnam-era veterans who were exposed to Agent Orange to apply for and receive benefits, which she said led to a sudden surge of 260,000 new claims. For the ensuing two-and-a-half years, VA's top priority was to process those Agent Orange claims.
"We took 37 percent of our workforce out of our main body of claims so they could focus on Agent Orange," she said. "Yes, claims got old. They did, and we are sorry about that and we are working hard. We took that manpower who had been pointed at those claims and pointed them toward this issue. It took a little additional training because they had only been working on three presumptive medical conditions, but we got them up to speed, and that's why we've been able to focus now on getting these old claims done."
VA officials say they are still committed to completely eliminating the backlog by 2015 and to processing all claims within 125 days.
It's seen scant progress so far, with the backlog fluctuation up and down week-by- week, but the department believes its transition away from all-paper records and into the completely electronic Veterans Benefits Management System will let it meet the goal.
Vets who submit their claims though VA's online portal, eBenefits, are getting their claims processed within about 80 days, Hickey said, as long as they also upload all the necessary supporting documentation.
DoD records still a problem
The shift away from paper and toward automation only eliminates one part of the bottleneck. For example, VA still is having trouble getting comprehensive medical records from DoD when a servicemember is first discharged from the military.
"In some cases they transfer things relatively quickly, but part of my issue is it's not complete," Hickey said. "Part of my requirement is to make the very best decision for that veteran with all the evidence there is in the DoD system, and not have to recycle back in and ask again for a piece of data. That piece of medical information may not seem important in the grand scheme of all the data DoD gives us, but it can make all the difference in the world to us when it comes to saying yes or no to that veteran."
