State Board of Education member Thomas Ratliff returns fire after my pointed Mark Strama posting (and then we have a civil exchange)
Editor's Note: The Education Blog entry I put up last week about Mark Strama standing up for Texas students drew a number of replies, some pretty strongly-worded. I understand that. Many of us have a personal interest in the debates over the best ways to educate our kids.
One response came from Thomas Ratliff, a member of the State Board of Education. I followed up with him and we had an email exchange over a couple of days about the major points in HB 5, the bill that was the subject of the Strama entry.
Ratliff agreed to me posting our exchange, plus excerpts from his letter. So, let me start with this excerpt from his original email to my Strama posting:
It's hard to imagine how you can say "Apparently Mark Strama is the last person in the the Texas House who understands what has happened in education in Texas over the last 30 years."
I can't imagine you really mean that. If you do, you have seriously underestimated and/or insulted a number of House members who have served on their local school boards and/or have their own children attend public schools. I'm disappointed that you can't simply have a difference of opinion without questioning the intelligence or motives of those with whom you disagree.
Lastly you said, "Strama may have lost yesterday, but he showed independence and courage. More importantly, he stood up for Texas students."
Who are the parents, like me, TAMSA (Texas Advocating for Meaningful Student Assessments), and others, standing up for? Don't you think we want our own kids prepared for college?
Now, here's our email exchange after his note came in:
Do you think that five tests, almost all of which would be in ninth grade, would really be best for students? How can the state measure whether they have grown after ninth grade?
Define "Almost all of which."
Does that apply to every kid or do some take those end-of-course exams courses in later grades?
HB 5 would only require one post ninth grade test, and that would be in English II.
I don't know if you saw their letter but the folks at La Raza are really worried about the impact degree plans could have on minority students. So are the people at Education Trust.
They are making the same argument they made against my dad, (Bill Ratliff, the former GOP lieutenant governor and former state senator) when he tried to offer two "tracks." They worry about kids being sold short.
I don't know how you prevent that from happening, but the current system will see more dropouts in the next two-to-three years and I would think a career track in high school is better than a dropout track.
To answer your earlier question, the state can see growth at the end of high school with SAT/ACT scores since we have a higher percentage of kids taking those tests than most, if not all, of the other states.

Stratfor: Panic Makes for Poor Counterterrorism
December 10, 2015 By Bob Klamser
Scott Stewart of Stratfor has authored an outstanding assessment of the current terrorist threat to the US as well as commentary on some of the reaction here that CCI recommends as "must" reading:
"A lot of panic has followed the Dec. 2 armed assault in San Bernardino, Calif., that left 14 people dead and 21 wounded. It was the worst international terrorist attack in the United States since the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, surpassing the death toll in that attack by one. U.S. President Barack Obama has labeled the attack as a new type of terrorist threat, while Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has used the attack as grounds to call for a ban preventing all Muslims from entering the United States.
I don't often editorialize in the Security Weekly, but I believe it is important to set the record straight and to place the San Bernardino attack in the proper perspective."

It happened on E Road before 1 a.m. near Rambling Acres in Clifton.
A man driving an SUV was headed westbound on E Road and told Troopers he didn't see her until the last second and couldn't avoid hitting her.
Clifton firefighters arrived just minutes after the accident happened.
She was treated for head injuries at the scene then transported to the hospital.
Troopers say she was the fighting paramedics during her treatment. Her friends told Troopers she'd eaten the seeds of a hallucinogenic

I went to Home Depot on 10/14/07 and took my recall letter and showed it to the salesman who was selling dishwashers and told him I wanted to purchase a dishwasher since I was going to get $150 rebate since the present one I had was recalled. After he read the Safety Notice a few times that I presented to him that GE sent me, he directed me to certain dishwashers. I took one of the dishwashers off of the floor, because after calling my son, my son said he would install it rather than Home Depot charging me. I picked out one dishwasher that was for $247.00 on sale that the salesperson led me to and the salesperson was nice enough to place that on a cart, so that my son and I could transport it home.
On 10/17/07 I called the salesperson again, because I remembered him telling me to remove something off of the dishwasher before I discarded it to be elligible for my rebate. He told me that I had to remove the label inside the dishwasher with the model and serial number on--which I did.
My son installed the dishwasher and I then went to the GE website to print out the rebate form and LOW AND BEHOLD--there now appeared specific models of specific dishwashers that were eligible for the $300 and $150 rebates! These model numbers were not printed on the original Safety Notice that was mailed to consumers; they were only printed on the rebate form! I filled out my rebate form to find out that the dishwasher that I had purchased and WAS ALREADY INSTALLED did not qualify!
I called the Recall Department and spoke with Samantha on 10-18-07 at 10:23 AM and was told that there was nothing they could do for me and they were not responsible for Home Depot selling me the wrong dishwasher! I argued the fact that no where did it give on the actual Safety Notice recall letter and specific model numbers of dishwashers that had to be purchased in order to qualify for the rebate. Samantha stated that the letter was in fact misleading, but they could not be held accountable, or reliable for Home Depot misinforming the customers and there was nothing they could do about it.
On 10-18-07 at 10:47 AM, I contacted U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission at 1-800-638-2772 and filed a report and spoke with Michael June and gave him a report of how I felt I had been decieved. Ms. June said that they would contact the company and let me know the results.
Isn't this a nice decieving way to get consumers to purchase more dishwashers from GE through their misleading recall letters?
GE now needs the cash, because of all the recalled products and they have to make it for it someway.
I'm planning on taking this to Small Claim's Court if I get no satisfaction. I have been deceived and mislead.

New York State Attorney General Andrew M Cuomo sued GE as well and won for deceptive business practices with GE dishwashers. Read the below story:
In October, 1999, GE in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of certain GE and Hotpoint brand dishwashers which present a fire hazard. The model numbers of those dishwashers are GSD500D, GSD500G, GSD540, HDA467, HDA477, and HDA487, with serial numbers containing A,M,R,S,T,V, or Z as the second character. GE offered individual consumers rebates of $75 - $125 toward the purchase of a new GE brand dishwasher, or $25 toward the purchase of a non- GE brand or GE Hotpoint brand dishwasher, along with a one year extension of the service contract.
In March, 2000, New York State Attorney General Spitzer commenced a lawsuit against GE alleging that GE gave individual consumers who owned these recalled dishwashers misleading information about the feasibility of repairing them.
On January 19, 2001, the New York Supreme Court, by the Honorable Louise Gruner Gans, issued a Decision and Order finding that GE engaged in deceptive conduct with respect to the feasibility of repairing the dishwashers, and further awarding restitution to New York consumers who purchased new dishwashers as a result of having been misled by GE about repairs, penalties against GE based on the number of statutory violations, and litigation costs to the Attorney General.
Published: July 11, 2001
A state Supreme Court justice has ordered General Electric to pay for newspaper advertisements across New York acknowledging that the company ''engaged in deceptive business conduct'' in connection with a recall of dishwashers in 1999.
The ads will also solicit information from consumers who felt they were misled by G.E. so a monetary award against the company can be determined, the justice, Louise Gruner Gans, ruled.
The justice also required G.E. to pay for a third party to write letters to all New York consumers who contacted the company after the recall announcement to inform them that G.E. acted deceptively and that they might be eligible for restitution if they bought new dishwashers based on misleading information. The case involved the G.E. and Hotpoint brands of dishwashers.
The state attorney general, Eliot L. Spitzer, said today that the orders signed by Justice Gans vindicated the position he took in a suit he filed in March 2000 that G.E. had not been forthcoming with consumers about the defective dishwashers.
General Electric said it would appeal the ruling.
Mr. Spitzer's claim, upheld in a January 2001 ruling by Justice Gans, whose court is in New York City, said the company had led consumers to believe that the fire hazard in a faulty switch could not be fixed. Instead, the company offered consumers between $75 and $125 to buy new GE or Hotpoint machines.
At the same time, however, G.E. was supplying its commercial customers with kits to repair the switches, Mr. Spitzer contended.
Justice Gans ruled that G.E. had engaged in ''deceptive'' communications with its customers.

Tax Day 2016 for IRS Tax Year 2015, also known as your return filing deadline, is April 18.
If you haven't yet filed, here are the IRS tax rates for your 2015 earnings with background and commentary. These change from year to year to protect against something the Tax Foundation calls "bracket creep" or when you get bumped up based on inflation not because you got a nice raise or found a higher-earning job.
Curious who will pay the most for tax year 2015? The top marginal rate is 39.6%.
Looking for your federal refund status? If you've already filed you can use this part of the IRS website to check.
Deal of the Day: Earn 1.00% APY on an FDIC-insured savings account at Ally Bank.
What are the 2015 marginal tax rates?
The following was written by Luke Landes and edited by Consumerism Commentary for length and clarity.
There's a big misconception about taxes. People are afraid to earn more if it means they're going to be "bumped into the next tax bracket." It is not true that being in a higher tax bracket will cause all of your income to be taxed at a higher rate. The only income tax at the highest rate is the income you earn above and beyond the lower threshold for that rate.
Make sure that sinks in. You will always owe the lowest tax rate, 10 percent, on your first $9,225 of earned income if you file as a single individual (not filing jointly). You could be a CEO earning $5 million this year, but even still, your first $9,225 is taxed at 10 percent. That's how the brackets work.
So if your total taxable income is $9,000, you owe 10 percent of that, or $900. In this case, your marginal tax rate, 10 percent, is exactly the same as your effective tax rate. You get your effective tax rate by dividing the amount of total tax you owe over your total income. This is what Warren Buffett has famously referred to when explaining how his secretary pays more tax than he does. Buffett earns a lot of income from investments which are taxed at a lower rate than earned income, and that smaller percentage affects the average — the effective tax rate for all his income.
One more thing to keep in mind is that if you are employed and your employer takes tax payments from your paycheck automatically, you pay your 2015 tax bill throughout the year. The total tax you owe when you file your tax return takes that into account. If your total tax bill is less than what you've paid to the federal government throughout the year, you'll get a refund. If you haven't covered your entire bill through paycheck withholding, you owe the government.
The 2015 federal income marginal tax rates and brackets by filing status.

text: 000 FXUS63 KMKX 240230 AFDMKX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Milwaukee/Sullivan WI 930 PM CDT TUE AUG 23 2016 .UPDATE... The HRRR has been consistent in pushing the MCS into the forecast area from west to east tonight then exiting the southeast mid/late Morning. New 00Z NAM is similar, just a little slower. && .AVIATION/06Z TAFS/... Influence of the upper shortwave and at least a portion of the low level jet will arrive mainly after 06z tonight. So expect the MCS crossing the Mississippi River to move across south central and southeast Wisconsin. Look for MVFR cigs/vsbys in the showers/Thunderstorms with some IFR during the early morning hours. Appears that towards mid morning that precip should wind down as the low level jet axis of shortwave shift east. Some redevelopment possible Wednesday afternoon depending on where sfc/850 millibar convergence and instability set up. && MARINE...A Small Craft Advisory (SCA) is now in effect from North of Port Washington until Wednesday afternoon for breezy south winds and waves of 4 to 6 feet. The winds and waves will decrease some by late evening but increase again Wednesday. && BEACHES...South winds will generate high waves again Wednesday, especially north of Port washington where a moderate rip current threat is expected that will cause structural and longshore currents. Thus dangerous swimming conditions will exist again Wednesday. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 327 PM CDT TUE AUG 23 2016/ TONIGHT - Confidence...Medium A southerly flow along with a continuation of the drier low level anticyclonic regime will gradually give way to more moisture and better dynamics as the night wears on. The mid level ridge axis will shift to our east and allow for a shortwave trough to arrive later in the night. In addition, a portion of the 850 LLJ will veer towards srn WI. This combo will result in shra/tsra moving into srn WI after 06z. Seeing several hundred j/kg of elevated CAPE so thunder seems likely, especially given the negative tilted nature of the 500 millibar wave riding through. With the southerly flow continuing and gradual uptick in moisture would expect temps to be pretty close to the MOS numbers or in some cases a smidge above, more towards the 3 hourly values. WEDNESDAY - Confidence...Medium Numerous shra/tsra likely ongoing during the early/mid morning hours as mid level wave and LLj impact the area. The wave whisks off to the east fairly quickly as the morning wears on so expect the effects of subsidence to take hold, especially as influence of LLJ peels off to the east as well. MOS and LLVL RH progs show an abundance of cloud cover lingering. This and boundary implications from the morning convection will have a say on how the setup unfolds for the afternoon. The ML CAPE from the ECMWF nudges values up to 1000-1300 J/KG during the afternoon suggesting at least some breaks taking shape. Mesoscale details will drive how the afternoon scenario unfolds though mid level support holds off until after this period. A much more humid day in the works as dew points expected to be either side of 70. WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND THURSDAY...Forecast Confidence Medium Frontal passage has slowed from 24 hours ago as slow-moving closed 500 mb low opens up into a positively-tilted trough as it tracks across far southern Canada just to the north of the northern Great Lakes. Bulk of the ongoing showers and storms at the start of the period shift southeast overnight with better 850 mb moisture transport, but expect scattered to broken coverage showers and storms overnight with frontogenetic forcing along the surface front. 00Z ECMWF and 12Z GFS develop a slightly stronger surface wave along front ahead of a secondary 500 mb short wave that lifts across the region Thursday morning, with QPF clipping far southern/southeastern WI as mid-level moisture and 700 mb omega brush by the far south. 12Z NAM has a weaker surface wave and keeps pcpn just out of the far south through the day Thursday. Front finally drops far enough south for pcpn to clear for Thursday afternoon. Will see highs around 80 as cold advection does not kick in until Thursday night. THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY...Forecast Confidence High Mid-level subsidence and drying overspread region under confluent 500 mb flow. Looking for dry...cool weather as surface high pressure slides across the region. Cold advection drops 925 mb temperatures around 6C and they hold there through the day Friday. This will yield slightly below normal temperatures with lows in the mid to upper 50s away from the lake and around 60 lakeside, and mid-70 highs for Friday. LONG TERM...FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY...Forecast Confidence Medium. Next wave moves across the Dakotas Saturday, and lifts northeast across the northern Great Lakes Sunday. Will back off precipitation chances until after 06Z Saturday and then keep them over just the western counties through 12Z Saturday where low-level jet and moisture transport are just getting into the CWA. Focused warm advection and forcing with the wave keep higher PoPs over the western and northern CWA.

One of Meridian's busiest thoroughfares may be a little bumpy for a few weeks.
The Mississippi Department of Transportation is working on Highway 39 in Meridian, from the interstate to North Hills Street.
Officials say you can expect some delays due to that ongoing project.
Traffic is down to one lane in each direction, but the handful of people we talked to say they aren't bothered by the improvements being made to a busy highway.
"It's a little bit of a burden having to get around to go other places, but it's not that bad," said Evan Edmonds.
"I stay out toward the Navy base. I can go the other way," said Willie Smith.
This project is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. In short, it's your stimulus dollars at work. We got mixed reaction on that.
"Do what they've got to do."
"I don't think we need to be doing that. Money can be spent elsewhere as far as taking the hand-outs from the government. I don't think we should do that."
This phase of work is to be completed in the next two weeks, but the project as a whole is expected to be finished by Nov. 24.
MDOT advises the use of alternate routes if possible.

Understanding poverty, shaping the future of poverty research.
Understanding poverty, shaping the future of poverty research.
We focus on facilitating research using a diverse set of approaches across academic disciplines to answer critical questions about poverty and its solutions.
The Center engages faculty research affiliates in the departments of Economics, Sociology, Psychology, Political Science, Agricultural Economics, Human and Community Development, Chicano Studies, and the Schools of Education, Engineering, and Law.
The Center was founded in September 2011 with core funding from the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is one of three federally designated Poverty Research Centers whose mission is to facilitate non-partisan academic research in the United States. The other poverty centers are the Institute for Research on Poverty at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the Stanford Center for the Study of Poverty and Inequality.
The Center is located at the University of California, Davis and is led by a Director, Deputy Director, and Executive Committee consisting of UC Davis faculty, along with a National Advisory Board consisting of nationally known poverty scholars. There are two staff positions supporting the Center, a Manager and Program Assistant.
Research Funding
Funding for our research projects are made possible by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). All research projects funded provided by the Center for Poverty Research, should include the following language:
"Funding for this project was made possible in part by grant number 1H79AE000100-1 to the UC Davis Center for Poverty Research from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Analysis (ASPE), which was awarded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The views expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policies of the Department of Health and Human Services."
The University of California, Davis, will join a select group of institutions studying a topic that is a dreadful reality to millions of Americans.
UC Davis has received a $4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to establish a Center for Poverty Research. It will be one of three U.S. centers designated to study the causes and effects of policies aimed at addressing poverty in the United States. The other centers are at Stanford University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The official poverty measure was developed in the 1960s in conjunction with President Lyndon Johnson's War on Poverty. Each September the U.S. Census Bureau releases an update of the national poverty rate for the prior year.
According to the Census Bureau, in 2013 nearly 20 million people lived in families with income below one-half of their poverty threshold. While thresholds vary by the size and composition of the household, for a single individual "deep poverty" would be an income below $6060 in 2013.
Un salario mínimo es el salario más bajo que empleadores pueden legalmente pagar a su empleados. La primer ley del salario mínimo fue promulgada en 1894 en Nueva Zelandia.
Al aprobar del Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), el salario mínimo en Estados Unidos fue inicialmente establecida a $0.25 por hora para trabajadores cubierto. Desde entonces, se aumentó 22 veces—recientemente, en julio del 2009, a $7.25 por hora.
En 2013, 45.3 millones de personas eran pobres. La mayoría de estas personas que viven debajo del índice federal de la pobreza no trabajan. Según los datos del Bureau of Labor Statistics, solo 10.5 millones o 23 por ciento de los pobres eran "trabajadores pobres."
Desde que fue instituido en 1938, el salario mínimo federal ha establecido un piso mínimo para salarios. Aunque no todos los trabajadores son elegibles, ofrece un mínimo de ingresos para los trabajadores que son menos pagados.
The Census Bureau reports poverty rates by educational attainment for people aged 25 and older. In 2014, the overall poverty rate for people aged 25 and older was 12%.
A minimum wage is the lowest wage that employers may legally pay to workers. The first minimum wage law was enacted in 1894 in New Zealand.
With the passage of The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA), the U.S. minimum wage was initially set at $0.25 per hour for covered workers. Since then, it has been raised 22 separate times–most recently, in July 2009, to $7.25 an hour.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention produce data on health and healthcare in the United States. Health, United States includes a variety of tables with breakdowns by poverty status.
The U.S.D.A.'s Economic Research Service monitors the extent and severity of food insecurity in U.S. households through a supplement to the Current Population Survey. Responses to a series of 18 questions are used to determine whether a household is food insecure.
According to data from the Census Bureau, in 2014
The official poverty statistics do not track individuals or households over time so there are no official data on poverty spells.
Despite the lack of official data, other surveys do provide the ability to track poverty status over time. Two recent studies have used differing data sources and methods to provide some insight into the characteristics of poverty spells.
Census Bureau Study
In 2014, the overall poverty rate was 15%. Poverty rates by disability status* in the United States ranged from 12% to 29%.
In 2010, 15% of people lived in poverty. Poverty is not evenly distributed across neighborhoods and every state has neighborhoods with higher than average poverty rates.
In 2014, about 1.3 million U.S. workers age 16 and over earned exactly the prevailing federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour. Another 1.7 million had wages below the federal minimum. Together these workers make up 4 percent of all hourly paid workers.
In 2013, 45.3 million people were poor. The majority of the people who live below the poverty level do not work. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 10.5 million or 23 percent of the poor were "working poor."
In 2011, almost 1 in 5 households included an "additional adult" — someone who was not the householder, the householder's spouse or cohabiting partner.
In 2014, the overall poverty rate in the United States was 15%. The rates for racial and ethnic subgroups ranged from 10% to 26%.
In 2014, the poverty rate for children under 18 was 21%. Children under 18 represented 33% of the poor.
In 2014, the overall poverty rate was 15%. Approximately 12% of all families in the United States were in poverty. Poverty rates by type of family ranged from 6% to 31%.
In 2014, the nation's official poverty rate was 15%. The poverty rates by geographic region ranged from 13% to 17%.

We went back into the emails yesterday and discovered that the information they put onto the SS-4 form (Application for Employer Indentification Number) was incorrect. We both called them this morning and they said it was our fault and that now we have to deal with the IRS to get it corrected , that they have no responiblity to correct their mistakes.
The lady we both spoke to was very rude and told me that it clearly states in the very first paragraph on their website that they are not the IRS. WELL, I went onto the website and no where in the first paragraph does it say they are not the IRS. It isn't until you go down to the very bottom of the page that it states that, but it's hard to read because the lettering is small and it is a colored background , which makes it even harder to read.
They charged us $187 for the tax ID number and now I have to spend hours of my time correcting their mistake. I think they owe us a refund of the chagres if they are not going to fix their mistakes. Better yet I think I wil dispute the charges because they are not giving the service they are charging for. Not to mention they are very misleading in how they present themselves . DO NOT use them they are a big RIP OFF.

We assist customers every day with documents and filings at the federal, state, and local levels, including LLC Formations, Incorporations, DBA Registrations, Federal Tax IDs (EINs), S-Corporation Elections, Entity Classification Elections, and more. People can conduct any business filing on their own, or they can enlist the help of a third party company that has performed that same filing many times before.
In this case, it sounds like what happened is that the customer accidentally typo'd some of their information when providing it to us. Not to fault them, because that can clearly happen to anyone. But then when we prepared their SS-4 form and provided it to them for their signature, they signed it, indicating their review and approval. We then filed the signed SS-4 with the IRS on their behalf, at which point the information they typo'd was submitted to the IRS and accepted. After this point, the IRS does not allow us to modify the information. The way to modify it at this point is for the customer to wait for a confirmation letter to arrive in the postal mail from the IRS, and for them to then send that back to the IRS with the corrected information.
We apologize that this post-submittal modification process is out of our control, but we will strive to continue improving everything that is in our control.

VA Pension for Retired Veterans
Veterans who are disabled or over 65 and have low income can get a pension and improved pension from the VA.
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides supplemental income for low-income wartime veterans in the form of Pension, Housebound, and Aid and Attendance benefits. The purpose of this article is to explain these benefit programs and help you determine if you are eligible for them.
The VA may award you a pension in two circumstances:
- When you are disabled but ineligible for disability compensation, you can receive the Disability Pension.
- When you are not disabled, but you are over age 65, you can receive the Basic Pension.
If the VA finds that you are not disabled for disability compensation purposes, the agency may still find you disabled for pension purposes. This is because for pension purposes the VA considers all of your disabilities, whether they are service-connected or not.
Many vets are unaware they even if they are not disabled, they still may be able to receive a VA pension upon turning age 65.
VA Improved Pensions
In addition, VA also offers two supplemental or improved pension programs: Housebound Benefits and Aid and Attendance (A&A). A&A pays a higher monthly rate than Housebound Benefits. These two benefits are "add-ons" to the pension; you are not eligible for either add-in benefit unless you first qualify for a pension.
- Housebound Benefits. This benefit provides some supplemental income when you are substantially confined to your home.
- Aid and Attendance (A&A). If you require assistance with at least some daily living activities, you may be eligible for this benefit.
- Even if a family member is caring for you and you are not paying for an outside caregiver to come into your home, you can still be eligible for this cash benefit.
- If your spouse is disabled and you are not, you may be eligible to receive A&A for your spouse.
Eligibility for Pensions
To be eligible for the pension, and to be considered for A&A or Housebound benefits, you must first:
- meet the financial needs test (have assets and income under the asset and income limits)
- have been discharged under other than dishonorable conditions
- have 90 days of service, including at least one day of service during wartime, and
- be totally and permanently disabled (or been deemed disabled by Social Security) or age 65 and over.
- If you are age 65 or over, the VA will, for the purposes of awarding you a Basic Pension, assume that you are permanently and totally disabled.
Additional Eligibility Rules for A&A
Eligibility for A&A requires that a veteran:
- meet one of the following medical criteria:
- require assistance with some tasks of daily living (such as bathing or dressing)
- be blind or nearly blind
- live in a nursing home or assisted living facility due to physical and/or mental incapacity, or
- be mentally or physically incapacitated such that regular assistance is required for you to be able to remain safe in your home (typically this will mean that you are bedridden).
Additional Eligibility Rules for Housebound Benefits
Housebound benefits also require that you be substantially and permanently confined to your home because of your disabilities. If you aren't confined to your home, you can show that you have one disability rated at 100% and another at 60% or more to qualify for Housebound Benefits.
If you are age 65 or older, even though you are presumed disabled, to get housebound benefits you still have to show that you are confined to your home or have a disability that is rated at 60% or higher.
In addition to the pension, you can receive Housebound Benefits or A&A, but not both.
What Is a Wartime Veteran?
The VA has designated certain periods of military activity as "wartime." Active duty during the following periods qualifies as wartime service.
- World War I (April 6, 1917 – November 11, 1918)
- World War II (December 7, 1941 – December 31, 1946)
- Korean conflict (June 27, 1950 – January 31, 1955)
- Vietnam era (February 28, 1961 – May 7, 1975 if you served in Vietnam during that period, otherwise, August 5, 1964 – May 7, 1975), and
- Gulf War (beginning August 2, 1990 and continuing to the present time).
Financial Requirements for Pension and Improved Pension
To be eligible for the pension, Aid and Attendance, or Housebound Benefits, you must also meet certain financial requirements. Generally, you must have less than $80,000 in assets (but the VA can lower this amount for older individuals). When calculating your assets, the VA does not count the value of your personal vehicle or the home you live in.
Some veterans transfer their assets to obtain eligibility, because then you can successfully apply for these benefits, as soon as the day after such a transfer. However, such a transfer can negatively affect your Medicaid eligibility, so it is critical to consult an elder law attorney before transferring any assets. (Even if you have VA health care benefits and are eligible for VA long-term care, you still may need your Medicaid benefits in addition to VA benefits. Nolo's article on Medicaid Basics provides additional information.)
In addition to the limit on your assets, your income must also be low. Your annual income must be less than the Maximum Annual Pension Rate (this varies depending on the type of improved pension). When calculating your income, the VA will not count welfare benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Likewise, the VA will deduct certain medical expenses from your total income to determine what the VA calls your "countable income."
The types of medical expenses the VA permits you to exclude from your income are:
- premiums for Medicare, Medigap, or long-term care insurance
- over-the-counter medications suggested by your doctor
- in-home medical or nursing care costs, and
- assisted living facility or nursing home costs.
How the VA Calculates Your Benefit
The VA determines your annual income and then deducts all of your unreimbursed medical expenses to determine your countable income, and then pays you the difference between your countable income and the Maximum Annual Pension Rate. It can be helpful to review the VA webpage that explains this pension benefit calculation process in detail and provides examples.
Health Care and Drug Benefits
If you are eligible for Improved Pension, the VA will also give you free medication as long as it is ordered by a VA physician. You will also have access to free VA hospital and outpatient care.
How to Apply
To apply, download VA Form 21-526EZ, call the VA at 800-827-1000 to request a claim form, or go to your regional VA office.
If you are age 70 or older, expedited processing is available to you, so make sure to request it. At a minimum, it will take four to nine months for your application to be processed. Sometimes nursing homes or assisted living facilities will accept delayed payment if they know you qualify for A&A and cannot otherwise afford care. They are aware that your award of benefits will be retroactive
For assistance obtaining benefits, contact National Association of Senior Veterans (NASV) for pro bono help determining your eligibility for benefits. Fill out the online form http://nasv.org/about-us/rei/
How to Appeal a Denial of Benefits
If you are denied pension, Housebound Benefits, or A&A, you will need to file a Notice of Disagreement (NOD) with the VA Office that issued the denial. For help, contact a local disability lawyer who's certified by the VA.

Togo announces campaign to combat bird flu outbreak
The Togo government said it is taking urgent measures to combat an outbreak of the avian flu virus, the country's state broadcaster said on Saturday.
The Togo government said it is taking urgent measures to combat an outbreak of the avian flu virus, the country's state broadcaster said on Saturday.
Researchers at the University of Georgia are working to find the fastest way possible to treat and cure human African trypanosomiasis, long referred to as sleeping sickness. By working to improve chemical entities already ...
At the time of the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO), in 1948, Health was defined as being "a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity".
This definition invited nations to expand the conceptual framework of their health systems beyond issues related to the physical condition of individuals and their diseases, and it motivated us to focus our attention on what we now call social determinants of health. Consequently, WHO challenged political, academic, community, and professional organisations devoted to improving or preserving health to make the scope of their work explicit, including their rationale for allocating resources. This opened the door for public accountability [3].
Only a handful of publications have focused specifically on the definition of health and its evolution in the first 6 decades. Some of them highlight its lack of operational value and the problem created by use of the word "complete." Others declare the definition, which has not been modified since 1948, "simply a bad one." [4]. More recently, Smith suggested that it is "a ludicrous definition that would leave most of us unhealthy most of the time." [5].
In 1986, the WHO, in the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion, said that health is "a resource for everyday life, not the objective of living. Health is a positive concept emphasizing social and personal resources, as well as physical capacities." Classification systems such as the WHO Family of International Classifications (WHO-FIC), which is composed of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) and the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) also define health.
Overall health is achieved through a combination of physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being, which, together is commonly referred to as the Health Triangle.

text: A British group that monitors Iraq civilian deaths said Thursday that deaths in 2010 were slightly lower than in 2009. Iraqis attributed the decrease to improved security but the group called "Iraq Body Count" warned that there will be a lingering low-level conflict for years to come. The group also said the government's acceptance of all non-violent political groups has led to less violence. Iraq Body Count said 3,976 civilians died as of December 25th of this year compared with 4,680 civilians last year.


text: Description Suggest an Edit As of January 2012 the Quinebaug River Trail has two segments. The southern segment follows the course of the Quinebaug River in Danielson, beginning at the intersection of Palmer Street and Prospect Avenue, crossing a bridge over Fivemile Pond then heading south along the east bank of the river to Gloria Avenue. The northern segment runs between the Holiday Inn just west of the Attawaugan Crossing/Ballouville Exit (# 94) off I-395 and Park Road in Putnam, ending just after it crosses under the railroad tracks. The segment parallels Tracy and Park roads. You can continue north into Putnam and connect with the Putnam River Trail.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
What I wasn't expecting, was what jerks most of these people are at Blue Haven Pools in Spring, Tx. So many people are upset with them for one reason or another, that they are on the offensive very quickly. Then they get pissed when you file a complaint, making all kinds of excuses for the crap they have pulled.
My problem isn't as bas as some I have read, but it is still a problem that I thought needed to be addressed, so I tried. Basically about 6 months after my pool was completed I started to notice a crack in the decking where my umbrella stand was. I called the warranty department at Blue Haven and she sent out Craig who proceded to take pictures to take back to Randy so that Randy could approve the work to be done. I was never told it was a "non-warranty" item then. Not a problem there, Randy was nice enough to see that this crack was repaired.
Upon closer inspection of my decking, while Craig was there, I began to notice that between the expansion joints of each section there is a hairline crack in the decking. I also addressed this with Craig while he was out here and he again took pictures to take to Randy. I was told that the umbrella stand crack would be covered, however the other cracks are due to settlement and would not be covered. I argued this matter over with Craig and he said he would call me back after speaking with Randy. I finally received a call back from Angela with the warranty department of Blue Haven, Spring and she said that the route they would take is to #1) Use a concrete saw and cut the decking where the crack appeared. #2) put an expansion joint in the sawed decking. Now, I'm no geologist, but even I have never seen a crack that was that straight that you can just use a saw and put an expansion joint in its place. Oh yeah, did I leave off that all of this would be done IF, IF I would type up a letter and fax it to them stating that they have gone above and beyond the call of duty and what a good job they have done. I was fed up with the begging for letters of what a good job Blue Haven does and I said no, absolutely not!
I then fired off a BBB complaint about my cracks in my decking, only to receive a response from Randy Wean, the GM for Blue Haven Pools as follows:
"Blue Haven makes repairs on non warranted items on a daily basis. We help the client and they help us, we like to call it a win win situation." Is that anything like you send me an atta boy letter and we MAY get around to half way fixing your problem?
It goes on to say: "We certainly wouldn't want to extort a referral. If he doesn't want to refer us we can respect his opinion. I'm sure he can also respect the fact that we do not have to repair non warranted items." Your absolutely right Randy, I no longer refer your company, as a matter of fact, anyone that I hear of that is even thinking about building a pool, I just tell them about this website and they change their mind. YOU created this, not me, I just advertise, you do the rest for me!!!!!
Here is more of his response: "I'm dissapointed that anyone can file a complaint with the BBB without contacting the GM first. I'm sure we COULD have come to a resolution but since he choose not to do that the damage is done and we will NOT repair a non warranted item." Now, first of all let me say it is NOT my responsibility to contact the GM, it should have been Craig's job. If Craig didn't, that is an issue that Randy needs to take up with him. I was told that the above solution was the only solution, PERIOD. Tell me what good it would have done to call Randy when obviously Randy makes the decisions as per Craig. So in a nut shell, I pissed Randy off by making a BBB complaint and now he won't repair any "non warranted items" as per his response to the BBB.
Oh yeah, let me throw in this little bit of information also. Evidently under Blue Haven's contract, article one the third paragraph reads as follows: "In the event Blue Haven CONTRACTS TO INSTALL walks and decking, said walks and decking are not warranted against cracking, chipping, raising, settling, or discoloration". OK, let me just say that BH CONTRACT'S every bit of work out, that must mean that any portion of the pool they build, with the exception of the actual equipment isn't covered under a BH warranty. Am I getting this right Randy? Is this how you SAY you repair "non-warranty" items all the time? I think I'm catching on how you run your business now, nice going! Cudos to you for screwing people out of a HONEST living!!!
Needless to say, we are now just having to live with our cracks since BH won't repair what they built. Another interesting question is, why doesn't BH give me the information on the concrete contractor that poured my decking so I can contact them? Because they are probably out of business because of their shoddy workmanship.
