How to Clean the Wheels of a Rolling Desk Chair
While a rolling desk chair may conform to your "on the go" lifestyle, you might find that you're not "rolling" through life quite as smoothly as you had hoped. However, the solution is here! To keep your life squeaky clean, follow these steps to keep your wheels-a-turning.

1Get rid of whatever is getting clogged in the fine mechanics of your chair. If it's slowing you down, check for cat hair, human hair, yarn, cotton thread - anything that can easily wind around the rolling mechanism. It can be quite tough to pull clear, so persevere. Use scissors if really tough to pull out.
2Flip the chair over so that the wheels are in the air. Often with these types of chairs, different pieces can be taken apart. If this is the case with your chair, detach the base, or the wheels of the chair.
3Get the stuck fluff off. Duct tape will work best to remove any hair or other small objects from the wheels. Simply cut a small section and then swat it on the wheels and around the cover.
4Wash the wheels. Now you can either soak the wheels in hot water (if they are detachable) or run the water through the wheels with a hose, or in the shower. The added pressure of the hose helps to remove larger objects stuck underneath the cover of the wheel.
5Dry thoroughly before replacing on the chair.

Ask a Question
- Check wheels regularly - there will be less gunk to remove that way and it will be easier to remove what is there.
- Try to use a specially made rolling mat for underneath your chair and sitting space. It not only assists your ease of movement around the desk area (and therefore protects your posture) but it also assists in prevent carpet-related fluff build-up.

Vibe ShiatsuRead MoreAs a teenager, Brad Hogle suffered from many health problems—from pounding headaches and chronic vertigo to weak ligaments, he was rarely comfortable. After visiting numerous doctors' offices and seeing little improvement, his lifelong interest in martial arts led him to research Eastern therapies. With this knowledge, he developed a set of daily stretches and exercises that helped him overcome his ailments. A new believer in the potency of alternative healing practices, Brad then went on to become a licensed massage therapist and open Vibe Shiatsu in 2011. All of his treatments begin with an assessment that involves closely examining each client. By noticing the way a person breathes, as well as their arm, leg and spine movements, Hogle is able to predict the best way to release large amounts of tension. Alternatively, an assessment may also show him where to direct his focus, so that he may help heal an overlooked area. To complement Hogle's massage therapy, Vibe Shiatsu's decor exudes a professional-yet-peaceful aura, where sleek off-white walls bear photography by one of Brad's friends and finger paintings by big-name CEOs.147 Commercial St NESalem, OR US

How to Turn an Afro into Straight Hair
How do you turn an afro into straight hair? Read the following steps to learn how. Results vary.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Get a really good shampoo product. Make sure it does not have any constituents ending with -cone. Simethicone and Dimethicone have been known to dry out Afro hair, so avoid them.
2Wash your hair. Scrub your hair with your hands in the shower until clean.
3Use conditioner of your choice. It's best to leave the conditioner on for at least 15 minutes so that it penetrates the hair shaft. Place a plastic cap over your hair to promote penetration into the shaft.
4Rub clear aloe vera lotion into your hair. When you get out of the shower, apply the aloe vera. Use a handful, as afro hair is pretty thick. Comb your hair until it is nice, sleek, and tangle-free.
6For even straighter hair, try rolling lightly oiled hair taut with very large rollers. The results are best if you sit under a hooded dryer for 20 minutes.
- You can also try using a flat iron to make your hair straighter. Read the instructions that come with the hair iron so you don't burn or damage your hair.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- If nothing else works, go to a hairstylist. You'll get professional hair straightening without a lot of mess and hard work.
- You might also try keratin or frizz reduction hair products.
- Don't straighten everything at once. Separate the hair into different parts and take your time straightening it.
Things You'll Need
- Shampoo
- Aloe vera lotion
- Brush / comb
- Plastic shower cap
- Flat iron
- Blow dryer

I have started a procedure, where I backup my media (several servers, lots of TB) onto backup tapes.
These tapes are stored off site.
The issue I see is: how do I manage which tapes I need to order back from the off site in order to reuse them?
I thought of an excel sheet, where I can have the tape name/date/media set associated with it.
I think it will work, but I would love to know how others are doing it.

Skip to comments.Poll: N.Y. Times less than reliable (Fox News Gets High Marks)
Posted on 07/21/2003 3:15:26 PM PDT by TommyDale
A new poll found that less than half of Americans believe the New York Times, still considered the so-called "newspaper of record" by many establishment media organizations, is a reliable purveyor of truth.
According to pollster Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Reports, just 46 percent of Americans feel the Times is "very reliable" or "somewhat reliable."
At the same time, nearly three-fourths of Americans (72 percent) believe Fox News Channel to be a credible media source.

LOL!! Or, "NYT has fewer dissatisfied readers!"
I'm so glad he's back from vacation.
A couple of years ago at work, a fairly hardcore leftist was stunned that I refused to accept the NY Slimes as an authoritative source -- especially since he was trying to con me into accepting some Krugman hit piece as definitive and unbiased. So, he called me a right-wing extremist.
He also once tried to stop me from arguing environmental issues with him, as he claims to have majored in some sort of wacko environmental studies in college. I told him that was fine, but only if he'd shut up about all economic and business issues, as I not only majored in Economics, but also have an M.B.A. :)
I find this stunning. Most local papers only print what the NYTimes runs with, first. I often think that unless CNN and the NYTimes say it is news, the public will never hear about anything.
"In a recent head-to-head comparison, The New York Times came in second, and Fox News came in next to last..."
...and this speaks volumes about these "establishment media organizations!"What a laugh!
It's time for us to start naming and shaming those that refuse to post full articles, IMHO, not work around their sloth.
(Also, nobody else has asked for such a thing. I'd have one ping list with only you on it, and another with everyone else.)
?!?!?!? Who the hell are these nit-wits?
Certainly true. But it's much nicer to be pinged only when there is complete information on the thread.
Exactly (although ours is liberally laced with the LA Times and WashPost sludge as well).
Some percentage, possibly a large one, of this 73% actually believe what the NY Times writes because they don't realize what they're reading in their local rag is from the NY Times. Ditto to a large extent on what appears on TV (even on Fox) since the broadcast media does little, if any, of their own newsgathering, er, I mean news manufacturing.
The NYT will run the following headline... "Almost 1/3 of Americans do not believe anything they see or hear on Fox News."
?!?!?!? Who the hell are these nit-wits?
Apparently, most of our U.S. Senators...
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent FoxFan list.
I bet the liberal press is having fits with this one!
Is this just human nature, "I'll believe it when I see it?"
Anyway, thank God for Fox News!

Strolling through the Google News Health section can be an exercise in disease-mongering. Harold DeMonaco, one of our story reviewers, ran across a story that he thought read more like it was written for the Onion rather than NBCNews.com.
Here are his thoughts.
I suspect that most of us have fallen victim to Pizza Mouth Burn. Apparently after inadvisably stuffing a hot slice of pizza into his mouth, the main character of the story (an associate professor of pharmaceutical sciences) decided that a treatment was necessary. This has plagued humankind since we discovered fire, it seems," he noted. Plagued mankind? My Mother would have suggested that waiting until the pizza was cool might be a more rational approach. But, we are dealing with a different era. If there is a problem, there must be a drug for it.
Thanks to modern science, there appears to be hope for those of us who refuse to heed our mothers advice and who then suffer from Pizza Mouth Burn. A benzocaine dissolvable strip is under development. Importantly, the story notes the strips have yet to be tested in humans. We dont have any information on their effectiveness or the side effects. But, we are told that the prototype is available in a mango flavored dissolvable strip and, We can change the flavor to suit the mood. The skys the limit to the flavoring. We need to appeal to a wide range of people and this wide variety of people have all burned their mouths, according to the developer.
Benzocaine is a local anesthetic that has been around for a long time. It is the active ingredient in a number of over the counter products. It has fallen into disfavor as an ingredient in prescription drug products due to a rather nasty side effect, methemoglobinemia, a condition that reduces the ability of red blood cells to release oxygen to tissue. Thankfully the side effect is rare. As you might imagine, the condition does require immediate medical attention. The concern is sufficient for the FDA to have issued a Drug Safety Communication warning about the risk in using over the counter products containing benzocaine in April of last year. Unfortunately, the story is silent on this issue.
We can hopefully look forward to modern sciences assistance in eliminating these terrible maladies and the media picking right up on these ground breaking developments. I personally look forward to an effective treatment of Brain Freeze.
And, by the way, we would have scored this story as a 0 using standard criteria.
We Welcome Comments. But please note: We will delete comments that include personal attacks, unfounded allegations, unverified facts, product pitches, profanity or any from anyone who doesn't list what appears to be an actual email address.

Phone number located in London, United Kingdom.
I have a new phone number on a new contract and since getting this number have received numerous messages from above to call them . I don't call numbers I do not know as there are so many scams about. If this number has been used before then the company trying to locate someone should write a letter to the last known address not just hope that the person they want is on the end of certain mobile numbers. Sooo frustrating !!!!!
This number keeps calling but when I answer it goes straight to answering machine !
I've no idea who this is and it's getting very frustrating.
Thank you.
I'm receiving a least four phone calls a day they leave answer phone message saying something about solar panels and insualtion
i keep gettin calls of this number.every day for a month.drives me mad an wen i did answer to them i couldn't understand a single word so i still didn't find out wot they wanted .going to block th number.
I changed my number just over 2 weeks back because of nuisance calls to my house. The very next day received a call from this number asking for some women name I explained they had called the wrong number and no one lived here by that name can I ask you some questions he replied I said indeed you can not and hung up. Now this number has called my house again after checking the number through Google discovered the number belongs to tutridge they must have got a client with a similar number to my new number and keep harassing me I want to report this company .
This number has rung on a number of occasions and left a message to ring them back which I have not done.
I answered the call this morning and it was a female who asked for someone who does not live here but gave me an address in a different town and asked if that was my address, she obviously has no idea of dialling codes!
When I asked who they were she got shirty and would not tell me what the company did other than something Financial, asked if they were debt collectors and she would not say.
She said she would take my number off their list, will see if she does.
Don't no who this is and why they are calling our ex directory phone no
Rang my number many times
this number has been calling me - don't know them, and now left me a message 121...after reading the above, I did not want to answer but would have rung and rung and rung, so, the message said to select no. 1...and then I hung up. and added this number to my reject list on my phone. No idea why they re calling me.
This number has called me approx 10 times over the last 2 days. i have a new mobile number that I have only given to close family and friends. I tried ringing back but there was no answer. I have no blocked this number as I have discovered it is debt collectors

Hit the open road -- pavement optional—aboard the revamped Salsa Fargo 2. A suspension-corrected front end allows you to bolt on some squish if that's your style or run it as it comes for mellower fire roads and ultra-distance days on paved roads. Drop bars give you more hand position options than risers, so you won't be battling the dreaded numbness for the last 20 miles of your ride. Designed as the ultimate adventure-touring rig, the Fargo features a full complement of braze-ons, for everything from fenders to racks to bottle cages, and the fork legs each have a mount for Salsa's Anything Cage -- an over-sized, multifunctional platform for anything from sleeping bags to fuel bottles.

Great bike, poor build!
Love the bike! Buy it from your LBS if you can.
I've been fixing mine part for part since April. The bar tape was shifting around after the ride - wrapped way too loose. Front derailleur cable came loose first week - cable clamp installed improperly and the bolt stripped. Today, it's the bottom bracket and crank coming loose after less than 500 road miles.
Whoever built it up must have been stoned or straight-up didn't give a shit!
Buy the Fargo! Just buy it somewhere else!
Fargo 2
Thanks for the delivery to Australia - everything worked well thanks.
A couple of thoughts on the bike - the tires are very easy to puncture - I have had more punctures on these tires in a couple of rides than I have had over the rest of my life!! Suggest some tougher tires if you are riding where there may be thorns.
The bike itself does everything they say it does - very much an off-road bike set up for an off-road tour. The Mundabidi trail here in Western Australia is a great application for this bike (with tougher tires).
I'd suggest, contary to some reviews I have read on the internet, that this bike is too slow and heavy for a regular commute (assuming you want to get to and from work in minimum time), even with some faster tiers. (I tried Conti Touring Plus but for now I am back to my old trek racer as a commute.

We can transform any problem, even death, into happiness. The point is not to stop the experience of problems but to stop the conditions that we call 'problems' from disturbing our mind, and instead use them to support the spiritual path that we practice.

Of all the state pension checks cashed in 2012, none was bigger than John F. Veiga's.
The Coventry resident spent 37 years teaching business at the University of Connecticut. In 2009, he accepted an early retirement buyout offer from the state after contributing $222,128 to his pension during his UConn career.
Now, at age 70, that pension pays him $276,364 a year, the largest amount paid to a single state retiree in 2012, nearly nine times the $31,666 average state employee pension.
According to calculations by the data analysis firm VisiGov: Visible Government Online Inc. for The Day, Veiga could collect another $4 million in his lifetime.
"I don't know what to tell you," Veiga said. "Is it fair? It was what was offered. It seemed fair at the time."
Of the top 10 state pensions in 2012 - all six figures - all but two were paid to former employees of UConn or the UConn Health Center. Nine retired under the most generous retirement plan, called Tier I.
Veiga left Kaiser Aluminum in 1968, earned his doctorate in 1971 and became a professor at UConn after a brief stint teaching at Northeastern University in Boston. He said his former boss called him "crazy" to leave Kaiser, where he was earning $50,000 to $55,000 as a senior industrial engineer, for an assistant professor position at UConn with a starting salary of $16,000.
But over the nearly 40 years that Veiga worked for the state, that salary gap narrowed. Private companies cut back pension and retiree health benefits, according to a 2012 Employee Benefit Research Institute report. More and more, private companies came to rely on "defined contribution plans" - 401(k)-type plans that have no guaranteed annual benefit amount.
Veiga said the early retirement incentive package offered in 2009 during Gov. M. Jodi Rell's administration was too good to pass up. More than 4,700 state employees took advantage of the offer.
The buyout "made it very hard to say, 'Well, I am going to keep working,' when I can earn as much on a pension as I can working," Veiga said. It added three years to his to his term of service, and the state let him add three more years because he had worked as a residence hall director at Kent State University in Ohio, and another year because he had been an assistant professor of management at Northeastern University. That brought his credited years of service to 44.
His pension also comes with annual cost-of-living adjustments, Medicare insurance and prescription drug coverage, and supplemental health insurance and prescription coverage through the state. He pays a co-payment at the doctor's office occasionally, he said, but otherwise he does not pay for his health care.
State Comptroller Kevin Lembo said early retirement incentive programs put a lot of stress on pension systems. While they reduce payroll, they increase lifetime pensions because they add additional years of service. To Lembo, "They are short-term thinking at best."
The tier system
Veiga served as chairman of the management department at the School of Business for more than two decades and as the interim dean of the School of Business in 1991 to 1992. He was named the Northeast Utilities endowed chairman of business ethics in 2000, and a Board of Trustees Distinguished Professor in 2001. His final average salary for pension calculation purposes was $361,293 annually.
State retirees are classified according to a system of "tiers." Tier I, the most generous, was closed to new employees in 1984. As a Tier I retiree, Veiga's pension is determined by several factors, including his credited years of service and the average of his three highest salary years.
He also receives a cost-of-living adjustment ranging from 2.5 to 6 percent.
Pension benefits have been reduced as each new retirement tier was added. Under Tier II, retirees' benefits were based on a smaller percentage of their annual salary. Tier IIA, which began in 1997, required retirees to contribute to their retirements. With Tier III, which began in 2011, the retirement age was increased.
The Tier I average annual pension benefit in 2012 was $36,404; for Tier II, $23,106; and for Tier IIA, $11,556. Data for Tier III retirees is not yet available.
According to The Day's analysis, Veiga was one of 492 Tier I retires who, because of their high salaries, collected six-figure pensions in 2012. That number represents just 1.6 percent of the 30,472 Tier I retirees.
Although the Connecticut State Employees' Retirement System is funded at only 42 percent, Veiga said that will change when the economy rebounds in the next five to 10 years. People wouldn't even be discussing whether retirees' benefits were too rich if the economy hadn't gone downhill or if the state had managed its pensions better, he said.
"Every chance they get, where it is not obvious, they use the money right now and don't fund it all," Veiga said. "Can you imagine having money in a 401(k) somewhere and them saying, 'We will, for the next five years, not give you any interest or earnings, we are not going to do our part?' That is basically what they did."
From fiscal years 1996 through 2013, the state rarely contributed the annual amount recommended by actuaries. If it had done so, there would be $2 billion more in the State Employees' Retirement System fund, according to the State Comptroller's Office.
In the 2013 fiscal year, the state did meet its annual required contribution amount - $1 billion - for the Connecticut State Employees' Retirement System. The Malloy administration said it also met the annual required contribution amount in the 2012 fiscal year. The comptroller's office reported that the state contributed $118 million less that year than actuaries had recommended.

Jerky Ivy Leaguers
There are certain subjects about which you're forced to admit you're out of your league: Nuclear proliferation. Cricket. String Theory. And particularly beef jerky.
I've never understood beef jerky. I mean, I understand what a valuable food source it could be if you were starving to death, or moving cattle from, say, Texas to the Rockies in the 1860s with nothing else to eat except rattlesnakes and prairie dogs. But why would anyone voluntarily consume something the consistency of shoe leather in a city with restaurants such as Jean-Georges or Per Se, or even the Greek diner on the corner?
I suppose part of the problem is that my first exposure to jerky, as I suspect is so for many people, was to Slim Jim, in my case at summer camp. Some kids loved them. But to me they tasted like dehydrated hot dog. If the choice was between that and Freihofer's chocolate chip cookies, as indeed it was, I saw no reason to opt for survival sausage.
Which brings me to Slantshack Jerky, a delicacy conceived by a bunch of Columbia grads at their campus dorm a few years back (perhaps while under the sway of whatever substances make one crave parched meat at 2 a.m.).
"I used the community kitchen on our floor," recalled Joshua Kace, the founder and president of Slantshack, a cured-meat company with grand ambitions. "Everyone wanted some. It had this inherent buzz because it was a weird thing for me to be making in the kitchen."
It says founder and president on Mr. Kace's business card (right beneath "Meet Our Meat"). But the honorific, or honorifics, may be slightly misleading. Apparently, Slantshack has nine co-founders, five of whom attended Columbia together and in the late-night haze of Furnald Hall thought starting a jerky company would be a brilliant use of their Ivy League educations.
Nonetheless, they didn't get serious until late 2008, when they were a couple of years out of college and most had embarked on actual careers. "I sent an email to my friends," said Mr. Kace, 26, who majored in mechanical engineering and works for an energy start-up company. "I said I want to go ahead and start a jerky company."
The response, undoubtedly marbled with nostalgia for their undergraduate days, was positive. "It worked out incredibly well," he went on. "My group of friends is an incredibly diverse group of people. I'm an engineer. Another is in p.r." (That's the person who contacted me.) "Another works at an investment firm; he became our CFO. The stars aligned. We had all this expertise in-house.
"We have weekly conference calls," Mr. Kace added. "We have sub-meetings all the time: little teams of people within our group of nine that get together to solve problems."
One may wonder how much expertise is required to make jerky. Apparently, quite a bit—certainly in bulk. That became apparent the first time the friends ventured into the world with their product, at the Greenpoint Food Market in Brooklyn. "We sold out within an hour and a half," Mr. Kace recalled fondly. "We were a huge hit. We had a crowd around our booth."
I can't say I fully, or even partially, understand it, but jerky has become chic. Aficionados I tested it on have variously described Slantshack's as smoky, a little dry, authentic, a tough chew and moist. Go figure. Its allure apparently has something to do with going against the grain, no pun intended, with embracing meat in a world increasingly turning vegan. "Society tells me because I'm a girl I shouldn't like it," my daughter, a jerky consumer, explained.
Realizing they had lightning in a bottle, or at least tasty beef in a bag, Mr. Kace and his colleagues entered a partnership with Highland Cattle Co., a farm in northern Vermont. Highland now manufactures their jerky, the relationship requiring the friends to take frequent road trips.
"It's very tough to get everyone together but it's awesome when we do," Mr. Kace explained. "I'm a big snowboarder. Jay Peak is up there. That worked out great for me."
Among the decisions that had to be made was whether to go the grass-fed or grain-fed route—Slantshack decided to do both—and how many variations on traditional jerky to attempt. "We have 60 different combinations," Mr. Kace said. You read that right. "We had trouble settling on flavors. One of our biggest breakthroughs was putting on a brown-sugar glaze. There aren't too many other companies that would put a glaze on a piece of jerky."
They also came up with jerky Valentines. It involved rubbing on a red spice and including sentiments such as "Beef My Valentine."
"That was a big hit," Mr. Kace said.
The friends even experimented with candy coating. "We went a little too far trying to candy jerky," he confessed. "That was definitely a two-in-the-morning discovery."
In case you're wondering, the company name comes from the Jersey City apartment where the founder moved after college and made his first commercial jerky. Think of it as the equivalent of Steve Jobs's Silicon Valley garage. "The entire apartment is at a 10-degree angle," said Mr. Kace, who, along with his roommate, Alex Baumel, another company founder, has since moved to more spacious digs, while remaining in Jersey City. Mr. Baumel, a structural engineer whom Mr. Kace described as "the head scientist of our experimental laboratories," came up with the Valentine hearts. "You drop a ball on the carpet and it rolls into the corner," Mr. Kace said of the apartment's tilt. "It fit our personality—we slant from the norm."
The comparison to the origins of the Apple Computer empire may not be that far-fetched, if Slantshack's business model goes according to plan. Their ambition is nothing less than to have jerky take its rightful, or so they believe, place alongside such staples of the organic locavore foods movement as carrots and organic strawberries.
Mr. Kace even hopes that he and his colleagues' contributions to humanity will allow him to return triumphant to his alma mater in the future, though perhaps not. "It's very much just us getting together and having fun," he said. "It's a philosophy that may prevent me from giving that commencement address 20 years from now."

AR 3.00 - Stainless, Fine Edge
There comes a time in a guy's life when he might start thinking he has too many knives. But when you show him one of these, well, maybe he starts thinking that there's room for one more. After all, the AR 3.0 and 3.5 represent hybrid knife design at its best.
You're looking at the near-perfect combination of strength, balance, ergonomics, minimal weight, and a stylized look that can rightly be described as bad to the bone.
Sure, the AR models are easily opened with one hand. Sure, their mechanics are silky smooth. Sure, the pocketclip is the essence of convenience. And sure, they're built from a caliber of stainless steel that simply commands respect. But what you might not expect is the innovative blend of die-cast aluminum and Softgrip® inserts in the handle. To a lot of guys, this is a must-have knife.

- Blade Length: 2.95"
- Closed Length: 4.08"

Great knife! I carry one daily, and it's always there & always handy. Buy 2 - so you are never without!
This is the best knife I've ever had, however my clip does loosen over time
Great knife. No complaints. Wonderful quality. Definitely would buy again if I lost it.
I have had this knife in my pocket almost every day for 20 years. Use it all the time. It has a different logo. I have sharpened it many times on wet stones.
I have carried this very folder since 2006. I do not leave home without it. It's solid as it can be. I may later get the model with half serrations but this one has proven INVALUBLE hundreds of times.
great knife!
Always manage to lose it eventually, but keep buying them, best knife I have ever owned.
Best knife for NOLS courses.

Congressman Walz raises concerns about funding for VA medical care
class=img_thumbleft>Freshman Congressman Tim Walz from the First District yesterday delivered testimony in front of the House Budget Committee regarding the Bush Administration's budget proposals on veterans' programs. The 24-year veteran of the Army National Guard and son of a Korean War veteran, Walz raised numerous concerns about the shortfalls he sees in the funding of VA clinics and hospitals and the proposed enrollment fees that would affect those most in need of care. Read Walz's testimony to the committee following the jump.
Congressman Tim Walz (MN-01)
Budget Committee Testimony
Wednesday, February 14, 2007
Chairman Spratt, Ranking Member Ryan, and members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify on some of the budgetary matters facing America's veterans today. Your willingness to hear testimony from me, as well as so many of my colleagues and other concerned citizens demonstrates your strong commitment to writing a fiscally sound budget that fulfills the needs of our veterans. I hope that my testimony today can aid you in your work.
Mr. Chairman, I am here today to discuss veterans' priorities within this budget from my perspective as a 24 year veteran of the Army National Guard and the son of a Korean War veteran. Last week, the President released his FY2008 budget request for the Department of Veterans Affairs, and while I am pleased to see at least slight increases in some important areas, the majority of his budget request leaves me deeply concerned. During his 2002 State of the Union speech, this President spoke of the need to care for our nation's veterans. He went so far as to ask Congress to "approve an historic increase in spending for veterans' health."
Since then, Mr. Chairman, the President has not followed through on his promises to America's veterans. In fact, President Bush has not mentioned veterans' issues in his last four State of the Union addresses. And in 2005, only a few short years after his 2002 promise to fund an historic increase in veterans' health care, the Department of Veterans Affairs was left so dangerously underfunded that Congress had to appropriate an emergency fund of $1 billion to keep the doors of our VA clinics and hospitals open.
This year, in his FY2008 budget request, the President has again placed veterans far too low on his list of priorities, underfunding VA medical care by $3.5 billion over five years. The President has requested a 6 percent increase in funding for VA medical care which is wholly inadequate. While certainly an improvement over his .4 percent increase request in FY2006, the FY2008 request does not meet the needs of a rapidly growing number of new veterans needing VA medical care, coupled with rapidly escalating health care costs. As a practical matter, that means that the VA will not be able to provide the care that our nation's retired servicemen and women are entitled to. You don't have to take my word for it: this request is a full 6.7 percent below the recommendation of the Independent Budget, a report put out by a group of veterans' service organizations.
Mr. Chairman, you don't need me to read you the statistics. What I need to express to this committee is the human impact of these budgetary decisions. It is not acceptable for us to exclude entire classes of veterans from the VA system. The men and women we call Priority 8 veterans served this country in the same ways other veterans did. The lack of a combat injury is no excuse for excluding them from the health care system they were promised access to. Barring 1.6 million veterans from their own health care system is unfair and unacceptable.
Mr. Chairman, the President's budget request proposes increased co-payments on prescription drugs and new enrollment fees for priority 7 and 8 veterans. These fees will drive out the veterans who need the system most, adding to the 47 million Americans who now lack health insurance.
If fees don't drive our veterans out, access to care just might. In my district, there are less than a half dozen primary care veterans clinics in operation. Mr. Chairman, my district is 300 miles wide - it stretches from the border of South Dakota to the border of Wisconsin. Veterans from my district who need more than a regular physical must charter vans through their Veterans Service Officers in order to make the drive to the VA Hospital in Minneapolis. A three hour ride is an excessive hardship, only made worse by the fact that this President is asking our veterans to pay more for those services when they finally arrive at the hospital. We can do better.
Mr. Chairman, the President's FY2008 budget request for the Department of Veterans Affairs represents the wrong priorities for our nation's veterans. However, the responsibility to do right by veterans does not lie with the President alone. We, the United States Congress, have the solemn responsibility and duty to create a budget that fulfills the promises we made to those who served.
We are responsible for caring for those who gave of themselves in years past and to care for those who are returning from Iraq and Afghanistan in the future. The President's budget asks for only minimal increases in mental health services for Iraqi veterans despite recent studies that show 1 in 6 soldiers in Iraq report symptoms of depression, serious anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder. At a time when the VA expects to treat 5.8 million patients, including 263,000 veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan in the coming year, it is Congress' duty to increase funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs and specifically to increase funding for both research into and treatment of the mental health conditions that plague many of our veterans.
At a time when Harvard University and the American Customer Satisfaction Index are recognizing the VA for its quality medical care, it is Congress' duty to ensure the VA does not veer from this upward trend and that it continues to improve not only quality of care but access to care.
At a time when our VA system is straining under the weight of both an aging veterans population and an entirely new group of veterans returning from the War on Terrorism, we must ensure funding matches not just monetary inflation but also the inflation in the number of veterans eligible for service.
Mr. Chairman, I am here today to ask you to help fulfill this duty by increasing the President's request for veterans' programs. The President's $86.75 billion request is simply not enough. As a veteran and the descendent of a long line of men who served this country, I can say with authority that properly funding our VA system does more than just provide veterans with the health care they were promised. Properly funding our VA ensures a new generation of soldiers will enlist and it helps to keep our communities both physically and economically healthy.
Thank you.

Young the Juggernaut plays tough
Chad Young is one of the toughest Aztecs ever, but that rough and tumble exterior hides a soft side too
Fullbacks are rare in today's football landscape of spread offenses. But rarer still is the fullback who makes enough of an impact that he's earned his own legion of supporters.
San Diego State's Chad Young is that guy.
In a year in which the Aztecs' run game started slow, Young's fearless blocking and ability to steamroll defenders has gained him quite the cult fan following.
Troll Aztecs message boards and you see posts from fans sharing clips of Young's pancake blocks and asking where they can get No. 40 jerseys.
The Aztecs' senior blocking sensation is such a fan favorite that in the week preceding the Boise State game, The Show – SDSU's student section – tweeted a slick graphic that portrays Young as the Juggernaut, a hulking, muscle-bound character in Marvel Comics' X-Men series.
In the fan graphic, Young the Juggernaut – complete with a white No. 40 SDSU jersey – bulldozes his way through the Hawaii defense with a ferocious snarl on his Aztec helmet-clad face.
So what does Young make of his cult following?
The fullback laughs, nodding his bowling ball head in acknowledgement that he's seen the graphic.
"I'm thankful for all the support. It's been increasing ever since I've been in the program," Young said. "It feels good to have that behind you, personally or as a team."
At 5-foot-10, 240 pounds, with a thick neck, stocky trunk and powerful legs, Young is built like a wrecking ball and renowned for his physicality and fearless play.
"I don't know if there's anyone tougher than he is," said SDSU running backs coach Jeff Horton. "He's a real leader of our team. He's a tough guy that plays a tough position and doesn't really get credit for much."
But Young, a former walk-on, has turned heads for his on-field exploits this season.
As the Aztecs showed against Hawaii – when Young carried the ball 14 yards for a TD – his role has expanded in Bob Toledo's new offense. He's compiled career highs in rush attempts (17) and rushing yards (105), and has two rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown on the year.
But his specialty will always be run blocking. It stems from the hard-nosed mentality instilled in him since childhood, as the youngest son in a family of three boys and a girl.
Growing up in La Verne, Young played ice hockey with his older brother, Kyle. Their father, Daryl, was a rugged construction worker who coached high school hockey, and he bred a toughness in his boys that they have carried through their lives.
"My dad brought us up that way," Young said. "I was never being babied or pampered or anything. I was always just playing sports."
Hockey was Chad's first love, but by sixth grade, he'd started to fill out his stocky frame.
""I realized I was maybe built for football a little more than hockey. I've always kind of had the same body structure…. Kind of as tall as I was wide," said Chad, who switched to football and never looked back. "When I was a little baby, they called me Baby Buddha sometimes."
As much as Baby Buddha thrives on contact sports, he also has a softer side to him.
Chad plays tough because he considers himself fortunate to be healthy and athletic with all the physical gifts that have allowed him to play football at a high level.
He knows that's something to be grateful for because he watched his middle brother, Tyler, struggle through health problems for much of his life.
Tyler was born severely premature and mentally challenged, with cerebral palsy. He was wheelchair bound and couldn't walk or talk, and he lived to the age of 12.
