Serious structural reform neededNovember 19,2013
In a previous commentary I pointed out that we have a $37 trillion unfunded deficit in Medicare (over the next 75 years) and that the very modest changes being proposed by Obamacare are not nearly enough to resolve that problem. We cannot resolve this by collecting $500 billion during each of the next 75 years. We would have to collect an additional $500 billion during each of the next 75 years. That would require a tax increase of up to 26 percent, depending on how soon we started collecting it. Resolving this by increasing taxes on those still working simply wont work.
So the obvious answer is simply to reduce the prices that Medicare pays out for services. The problem with that solution is that is how we have been handling the problem for the past decade. The payment to physicians and hospitals has been cut and recut many times over. Unfortunately, it has been done in a very uneven manner so that some services are grossly underfunded while other services are significantly overpaid. The effect has been that most hospitals limit or even stop offering the underfunded services while doubling up on the overpaid services. If that kind of selective service is not possible, then the medical provider will raise the rates for non-Medicare patients to recover the losses.
Both of these actions are being done now, but both have reached a limit. If more cuts are made in Medicare payments to medical providers, they will simply stop taking Medicare patients. This is a trend that has already started. Doctors are switching over to practices that do not require them to deal with Medicare.
Concierge doctors are spreading fast because they have discovered that its possible to operate a direct primary care practice, make a living and avoid one of the biggest headaches for family medicine physicians: dealing with health insurance companies. These doctors take on a maximum of 500 patients for a flat-rate annual fee plus normal insurance payments, but they are very selective about which insurance they are willing to accept, and it often excludes Medicare.
So the next most obvious solution to the unfunded $37 trillion is to cut benefits. This has two major problems. The first is that it would take a lot of cut services to make up that much in unfunded costs, requiring retirees to buy private medical insurance, but that is often not possible.
Beginning in the late 1990s, the total savings by American consumers went negative. Since then, average consumers have spent more than their income and saved nothing toward their retirement, accumulating $11.13 trillion in debt. Many had planned to cash out their homes equity to finance their retirement, but the housing bubble crash also crashed those plans. Millions of retirees will be in no position to pay for supplemental, alternative or additional medical insurance if Medicare does not cover them.
The second problem with cutting benefits is that the retiring baby boomers will constitute the largest single-minded voting bloc in U.S. history. Nearly 80 million voters will want to retain their Medicare benefits when they choose their next political representative. Informed and coordinated by organizations like AARP, it would be political suicide if any congressman votes to reduce benefits.
So what can be done? The Center for Policy Innovation and Health Policy Studies at The Heritage Foundation has proposed a logical and viable solution that would require serious structural changes and would take the form of both short-term and long-term reforms.
In the near term, Congress and the president should: 1) pass a small and temporary increase to Medicare Part A premiums this would cover more people than Obamacare but would be needed only until the deficits in the Federal Hospital Insurance Trust Fund are covered; 2) increase the Part B and D premiums by 10 percent over the next five years; 3) increase the means testing started by Obamacare until about 9 percent of the Medicare population is paying a larger share of its Medicare costs; 4) and add a 10 percent copayment to Medicare home health care which currently has no copayment. This would eventually resolve the more immediate cash flow issues and set the stage for long-term stability.
For the long-term reforms, reduction of Medicare costs would benefit most from competition.
The government payments should be made to competing health plans (including traditional Medicare) that would be calculated on market-based bids to provide Medicare benefits. The retirees would choose the best plan to meet their personal needs. A better plan would naturally have a higher premium but would also have improved or expanded services. Some would elect to enroll in a less expensive plan so they could pocket the difference as personal savings. This realignment would require a transition of Medicare from a centralized fee-for-service program into a defined-contribution (premium support) program of financing.
Obamacare incorporates a few of these ideas as well as others that should be included, like forcing acceptance of pre-existing conditions but it does not go far enough to avert a major financial crisis in health care. Implementing the reforms cited above will work. Now all we need is a Congress that really works that can figure out how to get there from here.

At least one garbage truck suffered severe damage Saturday afternoon after a fire in the parking lot at the Waste Management office in La Crosse.
The office is located at 415 Island Street.
A News 8 photographer captured video of an employee at the office trying to put out the fire with an extinguisher before firefighters arrived at the scene.
Firefighters were there moments later and appeared to be able to contain most of the damage to the one vehicle. Two garbage trucks parked on both sides of the damaged vehicle appeared to sustain only minor exterior damage.
No one was injured in the fire and the cause is still under investigation.

My DS is 9.5 months old and mostly BF directly, with an occasional bottle of pumped milk from his sitter or dad.
Every night, I pump 3.5-8 ounces to donate to a milk bank. I'm traveling for the next week so I can't store milk for the bank and have no need to feed DS a bottle. If I drop that pump session while I'm away, will I be able to pick it back up when I get home? I want to donate right up to the one year mark, so I don't want my supply to drop below that level.
I've had oversupply and OALD, so I imagine that my supply and demand should be fine. But I figured I'd check with you LLLI ladies to confirm.

The Yellow Mamba.
Let him walk
Resign him and keep him long term
Resign him and trade him January 2013 with Amare
Some people are saying that we shouldn`t forget that he was only playing against the Nets. That is true of course but he did shut down Derron Williams in terms of scoring and there were times when he made Williams look foolish when Lin was driving at him.
It may have only been against the Nets but many people think that Derron Williams is the best point guard in the game. Lin made him look bad last night.
It`s only one game but the kid has the skills, that is obvious. I think that with time and development he will improve. We shouldn`t get carried away though, let`s wait to see what else he can do.
The Yellow Mamba.
Sig made by Sons of Thunder
I think Lin is more JJ Berea than Steph
D Will is one of the worst perimeter Defenders in the league which is why Lin got to the rack so easily, Steph routinely got there against the leagues top Defenders when he was focused and playing well for us.
Found this little nugget. He knows what hes doing out there...

1. The Little Emperor
2. The Asian Starbury

I bet that the Knicks sold about 100 million Lin Jerseys in China today.lol
I don't think so, firstly because he's American and secondly because he's of Taiwanese origin and there is always a lot of aversion between mainland (single-party) China and (democratic) Taiwan.
Bro he's definitely selling jerseys in asian countries right now... doesnt matter chinese japanese korean malaysian whatever asians all look the same
IDK about you guys but i seriously cant wait to see him play again, hopefully starting vs the Jazz
why dont people talk about lin as a player instead of an asian respect him

HH what did you think of the Gyro cam? Reminded me of vertigo.....I couldn't watch it! Thought about you....
I didn't mind the angle from the gyro cam. The operators just need to get used to controlling it.
It was kinda like the view from the blimp... only much lower.
Wonder if other tracks will have a gyro cam? Hmmmm?!?

Sonya F. PhillipsJune 24,2013
Sonya F. Phillips
Sonya F. Phillips
WAITSFIELD Sonya Sophie Franchuk Phillips of Waitsfield, Vt., and a former resident of West Barnstable, Mass., and Greenfield, Mass., died Wednesday, June 19, 2013, at Rowan Court Health Center in Barre, Vt., where she had been a resident for little over two months. She spent her last day having lunch with her daughter and the other residents. She was dressed in her purple hat and movie star sunglasses along with her purple capris and matching top. She went quietly that evening after 96 years of a full life. She joins her beloved Philly, Philip E. Phillips, who died in November 2005. They had been married for 69 years.
She leaves behind her daughter, Nancy Phillips, and son-in-law, Stephen Doherty. Her dear sister, Alice Duschenchuk, is the senior member of the family now. There are several nieces, nephews, a sister-in-law and several close family friends. Besides her parents and husband, a brother, Alexander Franchuk, and a sister, Anita Shive, predeceased Sonya.
Sonya was born the eldest daughter of Russian immigrants who lived in Connecticut and on Long Island, N.Y. Sonya graduated two years early from high school, attended two years of college and then the dashing Phil Phillips swept her off her feet.
Sonya worked most of her life, which was unusual for women at that time. She started in the Five and Dime Store, moved on to being a bookkeeper at a laundry, a preschool cook and finally, she and her husband opened their own business that they built. In 1954, which was the start of the interstate highway system in this country, they decided to build a motel, Candle Light Motor Inn, in Greenfield, Mass. Over the years, the motel grew to 50 units and had a popular coffee shop. They sold the motel in the early 70s, retired to Cape Cod and opened an antique shop.
Sonya was a stylish, intelligent and tenacious woman. She liked being in charge and was to the end. She was bold in her opinions. Henry Ford II stayed at the motel frequently because his son attended a private school in the area. My mother read that Mr. Ford was getting a divorce from his first wife. When he came for a visit, she informed him that trading the old model in for a new one wasnt necessarily a better deal.
Sonya was a fierce Bridge player and never liked to lose. She had an eye for fine clothes and loved to shop, especially for a bargain. She was an adventuresome eater, and she would try anything exotic. She loved to eat out, but also liked to cook gourmet food. She had a passion for antique collecting. She was an expert on postcards and Heisey Glass.
While she owned the motel, her employees were very dedicated to her. This was also true with her caretakers. Nan Hornbeck, her neighbor in Waitsfield, was Sonyas homemaker and companion for six years. If it hadnt been for Nan, Sonya would not have been able to stay in her home for as long as she did. Sonya was very grateful for that. Thank you to Dara Van Laanen, who took care of Sonya when her daughter was away and for spending time with her at Rowan Court. Also thank you to Audrey Mays, Lisa Hodgson, Joyce Westcott and Robin Foster for providing support on weekends and evenings. Nurse Lynn Belizi and homecare specialist Sarah Utton, from CVHHH, provided additional support over the six years. Lisa Leblanc visited with Sonya on a regular basis and gave her the opportunity to talk about her life and frustrations. Finally, thank you to the nurses and especially the LNAs who cared for Sonya at Rowan Court Health Center. It is a fine place and allowed her family a bit of relief with the day-to-day care.
Graveside services will be held from the South Fayston Cemetery on Bragg Hill in Fayston, Vt., on Wednesday, June 26, at 2 p.m. There will be no calling hours. Assisting the family is the Perkins-Parker Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Waterbury, Vt.

The following list, organized by state, provides basic information about all the buying clubs that are available through
Farm to City's partnership program. To get more information about any of the buying clubs in the list or to become a member,
simply click on the name of the buying club to view its home page.
What's a buying club?
Community Supported Agriculture, or "CSA," is a mutually-beneficial arrangement between community members
and a local farmer in which the farmer provides produce and other farm products during the growing season in
exchange for payment before the season begins. Each week of the growing season, the farmer harvests the mature
crops and divides the produce into "shares," typically one for each member of the CSA operation. In most CSAs, the
produce supplied in the weekly share boxes is the same for each member. In some CSAs, members can select the
crops they want each week from a list of mature crops that are ready to harvest. Farmers deliver the shares
to pre-arranged locations for members to pick up, or members pick up their shares directly from the farm. Since CSA members pay
at the beginning of the season, they share with the farmer the benefits and risks of farming that result from yearly variations in the weather.
Traditional CSA: a CSA operation in which a farmer divides the week's crop yield equally among the
member's share boxes. Members pay for their shares at the beginning of the season and receive weekly share deliveries of
whatever produce is available at the time.
Member Choice CSA: a CSA operation in which members are given some choice about what seasonal products appear
in their share boxes from week to week. Members pay at the beginning of the season, and then submit their orders each week
from a list of available crops. Members who do not submit weekly orders still receive a share box filled with "farmer's choice" items.
Buying clubs allow their members to order food for periodic delivery, typically once a week. In some clubs, members
place their orders at the end the month for the next four or five weeks; in other clubs, members place their orders more frequently.
Unlike CSAs, buying clubs operate on a "pay-as-you-go" basis, allowing their members to order as much or as little food as they want
from week to week. As with CSA deliveries, buying club members pick up their weekly orders from designated drop-off locations. The
items offered in local food buying clubs are often not available to consumers anywhere else: artisan meats and cheeses, pastured and
raw dairy products and heirloom varieties of local fruits and vegetables. Ordering food from local buying clubs is a great way for
consumers to support local farmers and preserve the local environment, while at the same time enjoying fresh, seasonal and nutrient-rich foods.
CSA and Buying Club Combinations Some farmers offer a traditional or member choice CSA in addition to a buying club. In these cases,
members still pay for a CSA share at the beginning of the season and then have the option of supplementing their weekly CSA deliveries
with items from the buying club.

For Immediate Release
February 6, 2008
ISBE brings national figure in to call attention to education of homeless teens
Carissa Phelps shares her struggles from homeless teen to UCLA Law and MBA graduate
CHICAGO – The Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) highlighted the issue of homeless youth today during the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Annual Statewide Conference in Chicago. Carissa Phelps, a former homeless teen who has gone on to graduate from UCLA with an MBA and law degree and is the subject of a documentary, shared her personal struggles of life as a homeless teen who moved through the education system in California. With an estimated, 60,000 homeless students in Illinois, the State board has made training school personnel to compassionately identify and respond to the needs of homeless students a priority.
"The education of our homeless children is a priority for the State Board of Education," said State Superintendent Christopher A. Koch. "We are pleased to have Carissa here to share her inspiring personal story about being a homeless teen and the issues she faced. We hope that this visit can help teachers, administrators and students identify with the face of homelessness."
During her 90-minute presentation, Phelps showed portions of her yet-to-be-released documentary, "Carissa." The piece tells the real-life story of Phelps who, at the age of 12, was abandoned by her mother in the lobby of Fresno's Juvenile Hall. Feeling unsafe and with few resources available, she fled to the streets where, homeless and alone, she had to take care of herself. The documentary explores her life on the streets between ages 12 and 14, following her to the exact locations where it all took place. The film also captures Phelps in her final year at UCLA, where she recently graduated with joint law and MBA degrees.
"The lack of supportive housing and meaningful alternatives to the streets, gangs, and crime is the same in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Fresno," Phelps said. "Young people have limitless potential to be doctors, lawyers, leaders, and more in our communities. Whether we inspire them or not, they will determine our future as a nation."
Data collected by local school districts in 2006 indicated approximately 18,000 students in Illinois schools were homeless. However, based upon the most current research methodology, and the 750,000 students who receive free or reduced price lunches, it is estimated that the number is more likely 60,000 homeless students in Illinois.
Phelps' journey highlights the growing issue of 'unaccompanied
youth' in Illinois. The term unaccompanied youth,
as defined by the federal McKinney-Vento Act includes
a youth not in the physical custody of a parent or guardian.
This would include runaways living in runaway shelters,
abandoned buildings, cars, on the streets, or in other
inadequate housing; children and youth denied housing
by their families (sometimes referred to "throwaway
children and youth"); and school-age unwed mothers
living in homes for unwed mothers because they have no
other housing available.
The annual NCLB conference is sponsored by the Illinois Resource Center in collaboration with ISBE; the Illinois NCLB Consolidated Committee of Practitioners; Illinois Association of Title I Directions; Illinois Coalition for Title I Parents and the Illinois Title I Teachers' Association.
Additional information on homeless education issues can be accessed at http://homelessed.net or by calling the Illinois State Board of Education Information Hotline at 800-215-6379.
Additional information about Phelps and the documentary can be found online at www.carissaproject.com.

'BunHeads' Returns! It'sTime To Dance!
Put on your dancin' shoes! Michelle, Fanny, and the Bunheads are back for part two of season 1. And things have not gone well for anyone since the ending of part one.
There is no easy comeback after accidentally macing the entire Nutcracker cast. Despite the girls' loyalty, the student's parents have basically run Michelle out of town. But no one seems happy with the way things have turned out.
Ginny is running her mother's real estate business, since her mother did not handle well her father's sudden wedding announcement to his new fiance. Boo's mother is once again pregnant, and on bed rest, leaving Boo to control her brothers. Melanie babysits her wheelchair bound grandfather. And Sasha, fresh from the summer session at the Joffrey Institute, is hiding in Boo's broom closet.
It's been such a rotten summer, without ballet, that the girls are actually looking forward to going back to school.
Meanwhile, at a casino in Henderson, Nevada, a very cheesy magician and his two assistants work their 'magic' for the bored patrons at the 7:30 show. Michelle does not look impressed with her role as assistant.
She's even less impressed with her BFF and roommate Talia's date, who is elderly, but very rich. And kind – he's willing to set Michelle up with one of his friends, as soon as the friend gets out of hospital. Yeah, things are not good.
When Talia discovers a viral video about the "Nutcracker Macer" featuring an auto tuned Boo, Michelle is devastated. Boo's not happy about it either. The girls think Boo should be delighted – it's her fifteen minutes of fame!
Back in Paradise, Truly is desperate to shake Fanny out of a deep funk. "My chi is completely stagnant," Fanny moans. With the house and studio a mess of boxes and protective plastic, she discovers a practice DVD of Michelle rehearsing her motley crew through a mad ballet/jazz dance to Bjork's "It's Oh So Quiet." Fanny also finds Michelle and Hubbell's wedding DVD. Watching the adoration Hubbell shows for the giddily drunk Michelle, Fanny makes a decision. Fanny heads to Nevada to confront Michelle and ask her to come home.
Michelle says Paradise is not her home, believing that Fanny wishes the wedding had never happened, but Fanny insists that the wedding has made them family, and permanently connected. Fanny agrees that she was angry at the time, but says that anyone can have a bad day. She feels that leaving Michelle in Henderson in a miserable life would be dishonouring Hubbell's memory. He saw something in her. She dares Michelle to see it in herself, and leaves behind the wedding DVD.
Michelle watches the DVD and is touched by Hubbell's words, especially by his prediction that Fanny will eventually love Michelle more than she loves him. He says that Michelle is special, and has no idea how incredible she is.
With none of the girls able to hide her for the night, Sasha lets herself in to Michelle's guest house. She's joined by Roman, who's spent the summer miserably at his aunt's dairy farm. They circle each other warily, but just before they can kiss, Michelle arrives. Sasha runs to her and they hug each other warmly.
Michelle enters the now spotless studio, where Fanny is teaching a class. They reach an uneasy truce, with Fanny promising to handle the angry parents.
Fanny asks Michelle for her opinion on something she's working on, and plays the music to the viral video. The girls pirouette as Fanny assures Michelle that they'll be in Nutcracker costumes for the actual presentation. "It's time to dance!"

text: I've had a pea sized lump at the tip of my nipple for about a week. It changes in size and hardess sometimes. It was real painful at first while nursing, but I can nurse comfortably on that side now though the lump is still there. It's the same color as the rest of my nipple. I've tried all the normal stuff--moist heat, lanolin, frequent nursing, the "dangle"--nothing seems to affect it, though. Saw the doctor who says it's a plugged duct and put me on some antibiotics as a preventative measure. If it's just a plugged duct, though, I don't get why it hasn't cleared by now. There's no visible dried milk, but nothing comes out of that area when I hand express. Any ideas or possible solutions?

Farah Hassan Ahmedi '10 wanted to become the first in her family to earn a college degree, and after completing two summer school classes, Ahmedi officially received her bachelor's degree in international business and management in August.
She participated in Commencement but "when my summer school is over, I want to put my gown on again to really celebrate," says Ahmedi. She was not able to attend classes during spring term because she was married June 3, 2009, and gave birth to a baby boy, Jusuv Elham Hassan, in May.
During the past four years, Ahmedi enriched North Central and those who know her with her personal determination and courage. She was injured in a land mine explosion at age 7 in Afghanistan, lost several family members to violence and then she and her mother escaped as refugees. They settled in Carol Stream, IL, where Ahmedi learned English and completed high school. Her published memoir, "The Story of My Life: An Afghan Girl on the Other Side of the Sky," earned her national press, a visit to the White House, dozens of speaking engagements and a Teen People award, "20 teens who will change the world."
In January 2008, Ahmedi and her mother Fatima became U.S. citizens and Ahmedi's story, which included North Central College, was featured on "The NBC Nightly News With Brian Williams" in its "Making a Difference" segment.
She focused solely on her academics her first two years at North Central. "I enjoyed my junior and senior years so much more," she said, socializing with her close friend and roommate Christina Lorenzo '10 and working in the office of alumni relations.
Ahmedi has completed a second book about her college experiences and is hoping to find a publisher. She wants to someday work at a place like North Central. "And then I would like to go on and earn my master's degree," she says. "But I could have never gotten this far without the help of so many people supporting me the past four years."

This morning several Barbadian real estate agents had the opportunity to view the island's latest property released to the market ... Valley View. A new 37-home community in Vaucluse, St. Thomas, priced from BBD $722,000 (including house and land), this new development demonstrates one of the most compelling options for middle-income homes in Barbados.
The 36th annual Holetown Festival kicks off this weekend in celebration of 80 English Settlers that landed in 1627, sometime between February 17th and 20th. Each year the island marks this occasion with a week of festivities.

PRINCESS ANNE (Feb. 11, 2011) – For the past three years, Dr. Jennifer Keane-Dawes has served as interim leader of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore's graduate school.
Now, Keane-Dawes is proud to continue in that role after university President Thelma B. Thompson made history by officially naming her dean of the School of Graduate Studies following a national search.
"I'm the first black and first woman to serve as the graduate dean at UMES," she said.
Keane-Dawes, who has nine years of experience as a dean, already has made her mark at the graduate school, which U.S. News & World Report featured consecutively in its "A-Z List of Best Graduate/Education Schools" from 2008-2010. She also presided over the highest number of graduate students to be enrolled and the most doctoral degrees awarded in the university's history. She pioneered the introduction of the Professional Science Master's (PSM) degree in quantitative fisheries making UMES the first HBCU in Maryland and the second in the nation to offer a PSM degree.
"With support, I would like us to become a Graduate School of Distinction and position ourselves to obtain the Carnegie Doctoral Research Classification for UMES," she said of the widely recognized educational classification framework.
As dean, Keane-Dawes oversees 17 graduate programs as well as strategic planning for the school. Additionally, she plays the lead role in identifying funding opportunities and collaborates to acquire grants from external-funding agencies to support the school. Keane-Dawes also strives to improve student recruitment, retention and graduation.
Keane-Dawes – an American with Jamaican roots – holds a bachelor's degree in arts and general studies from the University of the West Indies, a master's degree in communication arts and a doctorate in intercultural communication from Howard University.
"I studied communication and the arts because they are open windows through which the human spirit might escape to express itself," said Keane-Dawes, who also serves as a professor in the Department of English and Modern Languages at UMES.
She is a fellow of the Organization of American States (OAS) and an alumna of Harvard's Institutional Educational Management Program.
An award-winning international journalist and television program producer, her publications include three books and numerous indigenous literary essays.
Keane-Dawes' work has received accolades from several agencies including Literary VoYces of Jamaica, the United States Information Service/Voice of America and the Hampton Roads Black Media Association. It was also highlighted in an exhibit by the Anacostia Division of the Smithsonian Institution on outstanding immigrants in the United States.
Keane-Dawes resides in Salisbury. Her only child, Thomas Jermaine Keane-Dawes, is a senior, Thurgood Marshall Scholar and record-breaking track athlete at UMES.

Farmers will find a lot of options for cloud-based computing in this year. Easier access to data for sharing with others, or for yourself, is one key benefit. Understand the relationships with companies that offer services.
The concept of cloud computing isn't new to business, but it's moving into agriculture in a big way. And for 2014, farmers will find they have a number of convenient and valuable ways to work with the data they create on their operations. In this issue, we start a conversation about data and data management that will continue in different ways throughout the year.
Taking advantage of cloud computing will require understanding the relation-ships involved, and the features and benefits offered by the different services.

Skip to comments.Allegations of voter fraud in Jim Wells, Brooks counties (Texas)
Posted on 07/07/2012 2:43:22 PM PDT by Paleo Conservative
ALICE There are about 325 supercentenarians in the country and 79th District Attorney Armando Barrera finds it hard to believe 18 of them voted in the Brooks County primary in May.
In a petition to contest the election filed Friday, Barrera lists 18 voters who were all born on either Jan. 1, 1900, or Jan. 1, 1901, making each of them more than 110 years old.
Can you believe it? Barrera said. Maybe theyve found the fountain of youth.
Armando and Homero Cruz are two men listed in the petition. According to Barrera, the two were both born on Jan. 1, 1900 and they both live at the same address in Falfurrias.
The 79th District governs both Jim Wells and Brooks counties. Barrera lost the May 29 election by 19 votes after a recount. The final tally put challenger Carlos Omar Garcia at 3,809 and Barrera at 3,790.
The petition alleges voter misconduct and fraud.
There were so many violations of the election code in Jim Wells and Brooks County, it makes you wonder if theyve even read it, Barrera said.
Garcia could not be reached for comment Friday.
Pearlie Jo Valadez, Jim Wells County elections administrator, declined to comment, and Alan Hernandez, Brooks County elections administrator, could not be reached for comment.
In Jim Wells County, Barrera said there was confusion over mail-in ballots sent out by the elections administrator. First, he said 218 mail-in ballots were sent to voters who did not request them for the 2012 election, and 214 were returned. Barrera said Valadez told him those people had requested ballots in previous elections.
He also said mail-in ballots originally sent out excluded Jesusa Sanchez-Vera, county attorney, from the ballots. Though she was unopposed, her name still must be on the ballot. Corrected ballots were sent to mail-in voters, but they did not state replacement or corrected on them. Election code states that the mailed envelope should note that a corrected ballot is provided.
The issue is further complicated because several people turned in the original ballot without the county attorneys name. Those names could not be read by the counting machines, Barrera said, so they were invalid. The ballots were duplicated onto valid ballots, which is legal. However, election code states that duplicated ballots should be labeled and list the serial number of the original ballot.
Barrera said at the recount, he was told the ballots that were not folded were the duplicated ballots. Some of those ballots had a vote for Sanchez-Vera on them, Barrera said. Had they been duplicated from the original ballot, it would have been impossible for the voter to mark her name because it was left off, he added.
This has been an eye-opener because these people are supposed to understand the election code, Barrera said.
Its not the first time an election in Jim Wells County has been contested. In 2008, a district judge ordered new elections in two races after then-Alice Mayor Juan Rodriguez said mail-in ballots were improperly used by paid vote canvassers to boost votes for challenger Guadalupe Martinez.
Supposedly 18 of the 325 people in the United States over the age of 110, voted in the Brooks county Democrat primary on May 29. What's their secret to longevity? I just read articles this week saying that Texas was dead last in health care delivery.
Seriously, there should be no mail in ballots. Vote in person only with government issue photo ID. Photograph every voter.
The dead are allowed to walk twice a year provided they where/are registered DEMOCRATS.
Once for the primary and once for the general.
The article didn't say which party they voted for. I'll lay odds on Dem, tho. Any takers?
I'm voting by absentee ballot for the Texas Republican primary runoffs, because I will be out of the United States on election day (July 31) and during in person early voting.
Brooks county is rather small. I don't think they even have an organized Republican party. A recently deceased friend of mine who voted for every Republican presidential candidate since Dewey in 1948, told me we ought to organize one. Each county gets guaranteed a minimum of 3 delegates to the state convention regardless of population. It would be 3 votes in our pocket.
The lately departed loved ones from the cemetery are always registered Democrats.
The birth dates of 01/01/01 or 01/01/00 leads me to belive this is a data entry problem, not voter fraud.
Yeah. Any talk of voter fraud is just plain silly.
Shades of the Duke of Duval County - George Paar - in the 1948 Senatorial election when Landslide Lyndon defeated Coke Stevenson, thanks to stuffed ballot boxes. If you have the opportunity, read the expose in "A Texan Looks at Lyndon," written by the late J. Evetts Haley, history professor at (then) West Texas State University in Canyon, Texas.

Lawsuit at the below link giving the details.
According to a Democrat I know, everyone who has re-registered after the 1996 election cycle and the implementation of motor voter, has had to supply a birth date. The date of 01/01/1901 is a place holder for birth dates that have not been updated. Actually that is problematic. About 1 in 6 registrations still are not associated with a birth date. As voters move their birthdates are added to the voter roll database.
Re post 13: Thanks for the info. This refers to a primary. Dem-on-Dem crime, so to speak. Of course, the same techniques would be used in the full election against a non-Dem candidate, too. As expected.

I'm really proud of Jim Wells County. The capital of corruption led by the likes of LBJ and George Parr.
Back then, it was the white guys...now it's the brown guys.
I was born and raised in this county and have 65 years experience in watching the graft, nepotism, cronyism, and downright criminal acts being foisted on the law abiding, tax paying and hard working citizens in this county. There is no out for the culture of Mexico is firmly established here and will only get worse as the white population dies out or moves away.
Crime, drugs and welfare and tax cheats are the major income producers in the county. Only "suckers" pay sales taxes or income taxes. It's a huge underground economy...and everyone is perfectly satisfied with it.
Nothing to see here....move along.
Even Ripley's Believe It Or Not would say this is a crock of s***.

Looks more like SS fraud, since many of them live outside the US. It is insane to expect SS checks abroad are going only to the living.
In Alice, Texas, the former Jim Wells County district attorney pleaded guilty Monday (7 March 2011) to charges he misused millions in seized drug money. For six years ending in 2008, former DA Joe Frank Garza led Jim Wells County law enforcement in an aggressive scheme to pull cars over and seize forfeited property and cash. Garza spent the cash on bonuses for himself and three secretaries, as well as trips to Las Vegas for seminars. Texas law requires that asset forfeiture expenditures be approved by the county commission, but Garza never bothered. He pleaded guilty to one count of misappropriating more than $2 million, and will likely be sentenced to six months in jail at sentencing in May. He will also have to pay $2.1 million in restitution.
My friend's husband is bed-ridden with Parkinson's, had 5 strokes, can't feed himself, can't walk, etc. He is 66yrs old. He still has his mind, senses, etc. So, he shouldn't be allowed to vote? Btw, he is long time Conservative voter.
What about the nursing home folks who are bed ridden and would like to exercise their right to vote?
Perhaps a rep from each party should be at the nursing homes to allow people to vote with no conversation, just hand them a ballot and let them vote. Those ballots then would be sealed in a lockbox and delivered to election place.

We use the eSlate electronic voting machines in my county. During the Texas early voting period, it is legal to vote at any of the early voting locations in the county. Some of the locations are permanent for the duration of early voting. Others get moved around from one day to the next. Some of the locations are retirement communities and nursing homes. They vote on the same kind of machines that are used on election day.
Absentee ballots in Texas are an entirely different thing. They are paper ballots that are mailed to people who can't be in the county on election day or during early voting. Unless you are disabled, over 65, or in jail (not prison), the ballot must be mailed to a location outside the county. The ballot must be returned by US mail or a common carrier, and it must be mailed or shipped from a location outside the county unless one is exempted by being in the previously listed groups.

He'd kill STAT if they played together Sheed is hard nosed he doesn't like playing with soft big man i.e. Ben Wallace and Kevin Garnett
Missing piece to the Knick's Championship Puzzle?
Rasheed Wallace is contemplating a comeback to the NBA, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Wallace, who retired after 15 seasons in 2010, has been working out and probing some close league friends about possible destinations to sign for the rest of the season, sources said.
At 6-foot-11, Wallace, 37, had been one of the most versatile and talented power forwards of his era. One league source who has talked with Wallace recently describes him as "serious" about a return to the NBA this season. Nevertheless, no teams contacted by Yahoo! Sports reported that they had any contact with Wallace, or his representative.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I know some of you guys are gonna say he's washed up and old, but Sheed displayed tremendous defense against a much younger Pau Gasol in the 2010 NBA Finals. Taking a chance on him won't hurt at all.
This team needs a post player badly! It is so pathetic that we only have one true post player - Melo - and he isn't even a PF or C. Sheed is a proven post player and has a decent jump shot. Knicks need to seize the opportunity and sign him if these sources are for real.
He'd kill STAT if they played together Sheed is hard nosed he doesn't like playing with soft big man i.e. Ben Wallace and Kevin Garnett
You see, this is what I hate about those 3-star teams, the supporting cast is complete bull****. Miami's season relies on the play of rookie Norris Cole.
Our season relies on the play of rookie Iman Shumpert and a 32 year old injury-prone Baron Davis.
Having said that, I really think we have the worst bench in the NBA right now and Wallace might help us a a defender in the post.
Championship Puzzle? lol this team probably will be 8th or 7th seed at best and you're talking championship?
I definitely would like this signing, if he is anything close to what he was with the Celtics than we finally got that tough post defender we've been looking for. Just Chandler is not going to cut it.
I loved his attitude but idk if he can give us much other then another body to pick up fouls.
Every year some one wants to come out of retirement, Shawn Kemp, Penny, Allan Houston. Thank god most GMs know better, 37 year olds that have not played in over a year are not good candidates to help a team.
Looks like Sheed is "really interested" in joining the Bulls. Makes sense with them having the best record and his former teammate Rip Hamilton on board.

All My Sons
by Arthur Miller
Fall, 2003
In All My Sons, we see the world of the American Dream as created by Arthur Miller. It is 1947. The Great War is over. For the war effort, Joe Keller built cylinder heads for P-40 fighter planes, built up business, and became a wealthy man. But something happened 3 1/2 years ago.
Joe Keller's partner is in prison; one of Joe's sons, Larry, a fighter pilot himself, is missing in action, presumed dead. Now Joe's remaining son, Chris, has brought home Larry's former girlfriend and daughter of his dad's partner to get his parents' blessing on their proposed marriage. It is a lovely summer Sunday morning shadowed by a past that only a few are willing to deal with. This drama, recommended for viewers over age 12, intensely explores the relationships between fathers and sons and between humans and the communities to which they belong.

Cramer Quick Take: The Clock Is Ticking for J.C. Penney
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Nowhere is it written that you have a right to be alive in retail, Jim Cramer told Debra Borchardt at TheStreet Thursday, as he opined on the miserable results posted by J.C. Penney (JCP) .
Cramer said the 31% decline in same-store sales is simply unfathomable and CEO Ron Johnson is now "bordering on delusional" in his efforts to save the ailing retailer. J.C. Penney is trying not to alienate their core customer, said Cramer, but they are, and meanwhile they've done nothing to attract new ones. He called it simply "terrible execution" and wondered how Johnson has managed to keep his job.
Cramer said the clock is ticking for J.C. Penney, as its balance sheet is now in question. If things cannot be turned around in the next few months, no one will loan the company money for upcoming holiday orders, he said, which would send it right to the grave yard.
