Idaho Residents Receive Improved Fire Protection Services thanks to USDA Recovery Act Funds
Wow, the first emergency call out of the new fire station. As I pulled into the driveway of the new Heyburn, Idaho, Fire Station for the ribbon cutting, I was greeted with the red lights flashing on the fire truck as the fire crew rushed to their call. Initially, I thought about how much faster the crew can respond to the family who needs their help due to the improved location of a new station, thanks in part to the USDA Rural Development Community Facilities Direct Loan program, with funds for this particular station being provided through the Recovery Act of 2009. But then my thoughts turned back to the two days prior, when the volunteers gathered at the new station for an additional training session. Some of the volunteers on that truck were the same volunteers at the training, who were once again taking time away from their paid jobs, to ensure their neighbors and employers have access to the same emergency services that I take for granted living in the Boise metropolitan area.

Skip to comments.Krugman: U.S. Needs Death Panels, Sales Taxes
Posted on 02/05/2013 1:47:44 PM PST by JohnPDuncan
click here to read article
Oslama is cooking up ideas for punishing states that have no state income tax. Withhold fed. funds...etc.
Advocating death panels in a synagogue? That is rich in too many ways!
I just hope someone had the backbone to interrupt that Dathan with NEVER AGAIN!
How did this guy get a Nobel Prize? He should be selling used cars.

I think that, in the back of our minds, we all know its coming; its just a matter of how soon. Probably under Hilary.
He won the econ nobel much the same way the kenyan got his for doing nothing. He's a socialist and socialists make sure they reward their undeserving socialist friends.
Maybe he should try out a death panel himself.
Seems he is no longer a positive contributing member of society.
Funny, how people who should know better, voted 70+% for this obomination who just might bring back the showers.
Krugman, 0boober & Arafat = Proof that the Nobel Prize is a sham.
Krugman, 0boober & Arafat = Proof that the Nobel Prize is a sham.
Let Krugman be the first to march willingly into the gas chamber, to be refused care that would save his life.
Before too long, even young people who have recurring heart problems, cancer, etc, will be sent down the path of pallative non-care much like Britain. What can now prolong life for even serious illness will only be given in the future to the rich and politician classes who have exempted themselves from the obamination.
They are all National Socialist Democrats after the German model.
Frankly I am glad you commies are telling us exactly what you're planning.
This mouth foaming Lib wants to be a false god and determine who lives and who dies, and who pays to keep Planned Parenthood open and keep the gov goodies rollin' in to the unearned.
How long oh Lord! Must we watch the wicked prosper?
Either the government serves us or we serve it. Krugman thinks government is our master, and that our rights derive from its power to serve human need, and that the need of anyone is an unquestionable claim on the ability and effort of everyone else.
What if I refuse to produce, even though I can? What then? Do you force me? Do you steal from me? And if I refuse to be forced or robbed? Do you kill me?
Don't kid yourselves. That's where we are headed. Unless we stop this insanity - now.
we need death panels to get rid of people like Krugman.
Go ahead Krugman et. al. Appoint a death pannel. There are those who will bring death to their door.
I agree with Krugman that seniors are not entitled to unlimited health care at my expense.
You 1st Krugman. Give all you have to your god...the government, then let them kill you.
And please, make sure it all happens on live tv, and streaming video, for those who do not have cable.
I'm sure doing all the above will incite so many of us to do what you did.
Become a martyr Krugman...for your own peeps and for America, she needs YOU......pleeeeease?
Ah, yes, I remember the outrage and mockery with which Sarah Palin's coinage of the term "Death Panels" was met like it was only yesterday. Well, actually, it was only yesterday. It isn't as if the media have no memory, because they do. What they also have is the brass to pretend it never happened.
So am I. And those pseudo-Americans who are trying to establish themselves as some sort of leftist nobility or ruling class over all the rest of us are going to be stunned at the response to their plans.
Will we see him at the front of the line for the death panels or will those be for the little people? Much like UT Austin prof Pianka teaches 90% of humans need to be exterminated with ebola.
But if you got run over by a car, you'd be entitled to unlimited healthcare at their expense...
Sorry guy. I don't know how old you are, but "seniors" have been paying for you for a long, long time.
We're all in this together. Obama is trying to oppose the old and the young (an increasingly tiny crowd, since the thirty-and-forty somethings appear to have neglected to bother to have children, unlike their now senior parents, who actually did have and pay for and raise children, one of which is probably ungrateful you).
So go off and get on your own ice floe when the time comes, you spoiled brat.
Woohoo, I made the sidebar!
Only took me 7 weeks :)
The Nobel Prize committee has been a joke for decades.
How much is the American people going to take of all this crap going on!?
An American in Newtown stated it best, from the newtown bee:
snip: You in public office are fundamentally dishonest people. You lead lives of deception at every turn, structuring your lives as comfortably as you can while governing with an indifference and arrogance that is absolutely maddening. When the country is reeling from financial disaster, you waste a trillion dollars on a health care bill we can't afford and you've never read. You claim it's critical because health care costs are killing this country... no they're not, you are! You are killing this country. You endorse the ongoing slaughter of millions of unborn children and whine when terrorists are water boarded. You can't lecture us right in Newtown High School about not doing enough to keep our children safe, while simultaneously slaughtering the unborn. You fabricate the intense, media laden drama of the fiscal cliff and lack the courage to do anything about truly reforming the obscene gluttony of government. You know you'll be out of office before the bill comes due you don't care and have no integrity nor honor.
You lie whenever and wherever you need to to move forth your agenda.
Well, at least Krugman can be given a few brownie points for his (brutal!) honesty...
Krugman can be first in line for the death choice then. See how he likes it then!
You would think a Jewish person would be the last one to suggest such a thing is an option!
Let's remember that. The demands for a national sales tax are from radical socialists.
If youd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
Not entirely on topic, but Krugman is channeling Japans Deputy PM Taro Aso 'Sorry' for Saying Old People Should 'Hurry up and Die' in a Synagogue. He should never be invited back for his insult to life. Wonder if he'll apologive like Taro Aso. Doubt it, it's a core belief amongst many liberals. There must be a cabinet position for Krugman somewhare.

The worship at the alter of Death along with Satan.
I am against death panels but I might consider indorsing death squads for liberals, an the issuing of a extermination order.
Does the Death Panel apply to AIDS (preventable) or just old age (not preventable)?
You first Mr. Krugman
I'll loan him the gun if he wishes to do the right thing and be the first to volunteer to save the planet and shoot himself. These idiots are simple stupid. I saw a shot on TV earlier of the greens marching and they had a sign that said "save the planet, kill yourself." I was wondering why they did not simply do that and not put up a sign. Be the FIRST to volunteer. Set an example. Like the Muzzie suicide bomber trainers. Instead of training up kids to do it, man up and be the first to do it. Lead by example.
The 6th Street Synagogue has been in the hands of the wacky and marxist left for decades and nobody gives a damn. It is actually a shual for the left, not sincere believing Jews, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Some honest and proud Jews do go there, including some of my friends (because they live near it), but the shual functions as a propaganda center for Jewish liberals in DC.
Once they had Victor Navasky (the Nation, "Naming Names" and mentor of present day editor Katrina Van Den Huevel, a red) speak. He wouldn't take any questions about his pro-communist writings.
Another exhibit praised the Rosenbergs, executed Soviet spies, and I believe there was an exhibit about Soviet operative (and friend of Frank Marshall Davis) Paul Robeson.
Also leftwing plays are performed there.
While the old Communist Party of DC has basically died out (one of its leaders is now a professor of Black History etc at Georgetown University), the new "liberal chic" marxists and Obamites control the synagogue.
This shual is a prime example of how the Leftists have penetrated traditionally conservative Jewish institutions and spread their disinformation and propaganda among the great Jewish uneducated. Just because you have a college degree doesn't mean that you have common sense and know something relevant.
Krugman is a marxist but he sounds more like a bearded Dr. Menegele (lately of Auschwitz and Brazil). That is why he is teaching at Princeton, a once great university that hired marxists left and right (correction, left and left).
One day Krugman will be old, and I hope a death panel tells him, so long sucker.
I'd prefer that he die tomorrow and save us some carbon footprints.
"Krugman: U.S. Needs Death Panels, Sales Taxes"
I'm starting to lean toward right-wing death squads myself. How about we let that left-wing commie freak assemble his death panels and we muster right-wing death platoons and we meet on the NY plains and have a battle.
I'd bet my house that the Nazi freak Krugman crawls away like a worm at the first shot.
Just google "Liverpool pathway controversy" to see how death panels are working in the UK national health system
These people have no conscience and no remorse.
Step right up, don't be bashful Paul. You first.
Um, Don't we already have them?
Sarah told'ya so!
It's not as hard as you think.
Voltaire said, "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."
Seems the crowd is primed for group think. The Dems 'two minutes of hate' towards those who do not believe as they do just needs a match.
Congrats! Now it's 50 shades of Terri Schiavo for the rest of us useless eaters.
Leaders of the corrupt 78% for Obama; :
Try again, or haven't you yet comprehended the total insanity of giving away the control of your healthcare decisions to some government bureaucrat? Could you quote me the part of the Constitution that allows this? So I guess you are arguing that somehow the insurance industry acts in the same fashion, but I would remind you that in a free market you choose your plan that fits your lifestyle and your needs. I guess if you really wanted to make an arguement you would be able to explain how Obamacare reduces the cost of medicine, it simply doesn't all it does is grant power to the government to control you, but of course you Libs can't digest that because you believe that is the role of centralized government planners, yes indeed that is apparently the change that Obama speaks so much about.... You see ultimately, EBT, Foodstamps, WIC, Obamacare, Obamaloan, Obamaphone, Obamahome those are the things that create the dependency, which will ensure slavery to our posterity. Wouldn't it have been so terribly sad if the generation before ours felt that they could pass their burden of debt down to the future generation? Of course the debt in their day was the rise of a Madman that would have controlled the entire planet with his (Reich, which of course is no less significant to our survival as a country than the coming 20-30 trillion dollar debt bubble that will destroy America as it was founded and create the coming New World Order.

Le Grand-Lemps
The Bonnard family spent holidays in their house, Le Clos [The Enclosure], at Le Grand-Lemps in the Dauphiné, a rural region between Lyons and Grenoble. Bonnard's stays there resulted in genre paintings, landscapes and photographs — recording his family at leisure.
Where Paris represented sophistication, ambition and encounters with all kinds of people, Bonnard's experience at Le Grand-Lemps was just the opposite, and in that environment he developed his ideas for large-scale densely packed landscapes and the decorative schemes for which he received commissions from about 1900.
Together with his Nabi friends, Bonnard's creative ventures extended beyond easel painting to designing folding screens, furniture, ceramics and posters. He became sought-after as a painter of decorative panels depicting landscapes, parks, squares, boulevards or more fanciful subjects. These decorative works expanded the scope of traditional easel painting, often forming a large composite iconographic scheme conceived to fit a particular interior.
In 1910 the art critic, Louis Vauxcelles, enthusiastically summarised Bonnard's decorative works:
M. Bonnard is fantasy, instinct, ingenuous spontaneity, French charm, both tender and mischievous. He delights the eye with attenuated colour harmonies suggesting the tones of faded tapestries, and iridescent pearly skin in semidarkness. His panels depict a thousand stories as entertaining as the thousand and one nights, portrayed with energy.
Bonnard's approach to the female body was unorthodox and openly sensual. In sharp contrast to his depictions of bourgeois country life, leisure and children's games in the garden of Le Clos, Bonnard painted almost risqué images of nudes. In his Paris studio, and in the house he had rented outside the city at Morval, Bonnard painted his lover and muse Marthe (Maria Boursin, whom he met in 1893, but did not marry until 1925). He took photographs of Marthe to serve as studies for paintings where she is depicted in various poses, but always (even in paintings as late as 1940) with a slender body, long legs, narrow waist and firm breasts — and very often in the bathroom.

For any of those who had a doubt in their mind whether or not denim was going to be sticking around for yet another season we hate to say it, but we totally told you so. From denim jackets and blazers to jeans the big blue makes a mark on most every single note-worthy collection, though not always in its signature color. Print is a huge trend for the spring summer 2012 season and designer Paul Smith totally rocks it out modernizing the classic Levi's denim jacket with abstract prints in electric jewel tones. As for Viktor & Rolf, multi-stripe denim separates add some dimension to the overall muted color palette of the 70s inspired collection. Likewise, denim jackets made a mark in a retro 70s vibe in Burberry Prorsum's ethic print-heavy lineup.
[nggallery id=327]
Images via GQ, Dazed Digital, and The Fashionisto.
Though it's definitely not the driving force that it has been in past seasons, denim is still a strong force on the runways lending itself as a grounding element to most collections including Acne, who we have to say had some killer denim accessories. Definitely not going anywhere!
Had enough? Didn't think so. Stay tuned for more menswear highlights from Paris Fashion Week!

Provincial Reconstruction Teams: How Do We Know They Work?
March 25, 2009
Authored by Dr. Carter Malkasian, Dr. Gerald Meyerle.
Provincial reconstruction teams (PRTs, along with civilian development agencies, including the U.S. Agency for International Development, numerous nongovernmental organizations, and the Afghan government's National Solidarity Program, are one of several organizations working on reconstruction in Afghanistan. Perhaps unsurprisingly, something of a debate has emerged over whether PRTs are needed.

Canada earns third straight win at world junior volleyball championships
NITEROI, Brazil – Tommy Belisle of Quebec City collected 26 points as Canada secured a place in the consolation semifinals on Sunday defeating Tunisia 25-20, 25-21, 21-25, 25-23 at the men's world junior volleyball championships.
The Canadians complete the round robin portion of the consolation draw with a 3-0 record for first in its pool. They advance to the 9-12th place playoffs opening Tuesday against Germany. Canada went 0-3 in the opening round robin portion of the tournament last week to drop to the consolation draw.
"It was a good win for us,'' said Canadian team captain TJ Sanders. ''Tunisia made us fight for it at the end."
Belisle earned his points on 23 spikes and three blocks. Bradley Kufske of Abbotsford, B.C., added 14 points on 12 attacks, one block and one ace. Braden McLean of Birch Hills, Sask., had a match-high six blocks for Canada.
I'm very happy that we are on the top of the group,'' said Canada's head coach Georges Laplante. ''In this tournament there are no easy matches. Tunisia fought in every set for every point. In the third set, they did not want to give us the victory so they fought a little harder.
''We gave our best and played with a lot of energy through the match and in the fourth set."
Canada's men's national junior volleyball team sorted by province:
Alberta: Tristan Aubry, Edmonton; Jay Olmstead, Edmonton; Lucas VanBerkel, Edmonton; Branden Schmidt, Winton; Jarron Mueller, Calgary.
B.C.: Alex Davis, White Rock; Bradley Kufske, Abbotsford; Derek Thiessen, Coquitlam.

ObamaCare to Create 100,000s of Jobs in the Field of Explaining ObamaCare
Posted By Daniel Greenfield On April 4, 2013 @ 9:08 pm In The Point | 12 Comments
Democrats always said that ObamaCare would create a lot of jobs and while currently it's hard at work destroying jobs, especially at the working class level, like most medical centralization boondoggles, ObamaCare will create a lot of jobs in the field of explaining what it is and how to survive it.
Tens of thousands of health care professionals, union workers and community activists hired as "navigators" to help Americans choose Obamacare options starting Oct. 1 could earn $20 an hour or more, according to new regulations issued Wednesday.
It is still not clear how many navigators will be required. California, however, provides a hint. It wants 21,000.
That could be an expensive proposition. The proposed rules, now open for public comment, suggest an estimated pay of $20-$48 an hour.
Who says Obama doesn't create jobs? If California is the national standard, then we've got a good 180,000 jobs here at 20 to 48 bucks an hour. Sure they're government jobs and come at the expense of working people… but think of all the private sector jobs that will also be created as new medical coders will be required and new accountants will be needed to help people escape all the new taxes for all the navigators guiding the ObamaCare Titanic into the financial iceberg.
The rules allow navigators to come from the ranks of unions, health providers and community action groups such as ACORN and Planned Parenthood. They are required to provide unbiased advice.
They're also required to teach you how to vote three times. And if you don't speak English, No Temas, translators are standing by.
"The proposed requirements would also include that such entities and individuals provide consumers with information and assistance in the consumer's preferred language, at no cost to the consumer, which would include oral interpretation of non-English languages and the translation of written documents in non-English languages when necessary to ensure meaningful access," said the regulations.
ObamaCare is bad enough in English. I can only begin to imagine its sheer incomprehensibility when it's translated into Spanish, Arabic, Swahili and Haitian Creole.
But at least with all the navigators and translators and astrogators, we'll have lots more jobs for Obama's campaign supporters funded by the people who actually work for a living.
Wait a second..doesn't Congress have to appropriate fund$ to pay these people..
once I get the phone number to these "navigators", it will be a 24/7 hack-a-thon. looking forward to it
With this small army of people, the Obama Syndicate will also work to register voters of Democrat inclination.
..another census worker type rat expenditure to help gather VOTES at America's expense.....$20.00 an hour to say "dunno"
I wonder if they will wear black or brown shirts?
Wait a second..doesnt Congress have to appropriate fund$ to pay these people..
If they haven't -——they will.
Yes more new government jobs that taxpayers will have to foot the bill for. And of course pensions and Bennies.
Mostly affirmative action jobs too if I don't miss my guess.
This boondoggle will pay for everything, BUT actual health care.
blue pill or red...their guess odds are 50/50.
"Weve got to have a civilian national security force thats just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded." — Obama
Establish it as a bunch of healthcare navigators — then re-purpose it and give them guns and ammunition.
YEAH - more socialist jobs - I wonder if those people will fall under the same hiring criteria as TSA Security Guards (Agents)???
Never mind, silly me. These are now gubmint official civil servants.
What a great idea! They can have the Navigators explain Obamacare to members of Congress since they never read it.
They had better have the endurance of Rand Paul filibustering.
Some of the questions that come up will take hours to answer.
Whoa, sign me up for that last one. Can I keep track of the hours? I've already put in 100 trying to explain it to myself.
Tax-free and one two-week paid vacations a month, right? And golf every afternoon? And can I say, "I've never worked harder than I'm working now?
20 to 48 bucks per hour to ax questions? I wonder if this is why the gov bought all that ammo.
Yeah, so where's the problem?
Back in FDR's day they paid people to dig holes and then fill them back in. Now the sheeple make more than the workers who pay their wages.
100K navigators at $20/hr would be about $2.160 billion annually just to explain Obamacare!!!! This country is lost..
Just as in Atlas Shrugged, no one really knows what the bloody rules are anymore.
And who is going to train the trainers?
Broken windows...
the Unions of course. . .
Documentation File on the negative impact of the Obamanation Counterculture on America.
Oh goody, now we will get the same caliber of people telling us about laws they know nothing about. Just like IRS employees.
Please. wake me when this nightmare is over.
Typical liberal crap. "Create" a job that costs more money to help someone spend even more of someone else's hard earned money.
This is basically ALL that any government job is all about. Why should we expect anything different?
What a clown.
It's all part of Obama's redistribution of wealth.
This has to be the worst Administration we've ever had.
One health expert with close ties to HHS told Breitbart News, "The navigator program, as evidenced by the leadership of Enroll America and yesterday's rule from CMS, will be a jobs program for unemployable Obama For America campaign volunteers and ACORN remnants."
This "navigator" business couldn't possibly be a thinly veiled Obama tactic to enlist people to "explain" how HORRIBLE the awful Republicans are and REGISTER DEMOCRAT VOTERS at the same time; now could it?
Navigator: Don't worry 'bout all that stuff...just sign this voter registration card. You are a Democrat, right?
we are paying contractors to train the trainers no doubt. there is heap plenty money for all Obamas peeps.
Progressive ideology with the techniques of the Chicago political mob.
They ARE a dangerous bunch for sure.
Apparatchiks. Party loyalists, doing the work of the Peoples Party.
Most of them dumb as clay and possessing no morals or ethics.
100,000 Democrat community organizers is more descriptive.
Community Organizers from the Obama Campaign Organization will comprise the majority of these "Navibaitors." They will collect personal information on everyone they talk to. Eventually only those who vote as leftists will receive the best health care. All others will get the Obama Care Lite version, if that.
This is the just the way fascism works. Death Panels are next.
correct, what we have here is a massive lobby for the socialists.
Yet again community organizing at the forefront pushed by the Chicago thugs and radicals who are left overs from the late 60's and early 70's
and who will explain the law to them seeing as it's thousands of regulations which no one could possibly know all?
And I'm sure they'll be unionized.

Not so long ago Lori at Pure Imagination, Angela at Reading Angel and myself held a giveaway giving away a $100 Gift card to a bookstore of their choice. We did not require the entrants to follow us. As matter of fact the three of us rarely ever require anyone entering our contests to follow. I do the occasional followers giveaway that are just for my followers, but that's not often at all. I prefer to have followers that want to follow my blog for the content and not just for extra entries to my contests. I do love watching the numbers climb though, so I do have following my blog as an extra entry most of the time.
Lately I've noticed a lot of blogs that require people to follow them for every single giveaway they have, but many of those giveaways are sponsored by someone else. So is it fair to require people to follow you when it's not really you giving the item away? Where all your doing is writing up a post? Writing up a post is work, I definitely agree with that, but I think that if you have great content then people will follow you. Is it necessary to require following? Now I know we all have different opinions on this, and really I'm neutral ground here. I don't really like being required to follow to enter giveaways but I almost always (if not always) follow a blog if I'm entering their contest anyway. I just don't like being told I have to follow them.
I've also been noticing more giveaways that are FOR gaining followers. You pay to have your name in a linky on a blog that's giving money away. You can pay to have different things, like for people to follow your blog or to follow you on twitter, etc. Basically your money is contributing to the giveaway but you are literally BUYING your followers. To be honest this is kind of leaving a bad taste in my mouth. I can see how it's great to have more exposure, but really most of those people aren't looking at your content. They are doing whatever is required to have an entry to win all this money. Maybe a few will come back, but probably most are just there to win something. Many will unfollow once it's finished. I'm curious about other people's takes on this. I say it leaves a bad taste in my mouth, but I love watching the followers grow too and even this is tempting to me, I just know it's not my thing, I would feel guilty~ but I'm not going to judge you. I want to know your opinion on this.
So, is it right to require people to follow your blog for contests? I'm okay with it if YOUR sponsoring the giveaway, providing the item yourself and shipping yourself. But if your only writing up the blog post, then maybe not require it ALL the time.
And is it okay to buy followers (GFC, Twitter, Facebook, etc). I don't think so for bloggers. BUT if you have a business I do feel a bit different about that. I think if your doing it for a business that's advertising and that's fine. If you have a compelling argument about it being right for bloggers, please share! Who knows, maybe I haven't seen that aspect.

Yet another reason to visit Asheville mid-week! Homegrown in Prichard Park is a new free concert series featuring local singer-song writers every Thursday night throughout the summer. Presented by 98.1 the River, the series starts this Thursday with Jenny Greer of Jen & The Juice. Prichard Park is right in the center of down town Asheville so it is easily accessible and a vibrant part of the eclectic Asheville scene.
Homegrown in Prichard is part of the Prichard Park Cultural Arts Programs put on by the Asheville Downtown Association. This year they are partnering with WNC magazine and 98.1 the River, a great independent radio station, to put on events all summer long.

Prichard Park is also home to the famous Friday night Drum Circle. For nine years people have gathered in the park to dance and make music together. It's a wonderful tradition and a memorable one. Dozens of drums resonating in this mini-amphitheater created by rock faces and trees! Bring a drum and join in!

EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.

Chapter 6: Pre-Election and Parallel Testing
Posted on May 13, 2010
George Gilbert
This document does not, in large measure, reflect the conclusions of the focus group assembled to compile it. I raised this objection at the time the first draft was circulated and did not hear any more about it.
My chief objections were, and are, the relative uselessness of parallel and post-election testing. While there was not a consensus on this view, it was certainly the majority opinion. Further, the recommendation regarding test voting every DRE device used in an election fails to take into account variations among DRE systems in how individual terminals are loaded with the ballot. For those systems where voting devices for a precinct are loaded with the election from a single "master" cartridge, vote testing each device is an expensive and time consuming redundancy.
Overall, the content of this chapter was largely predetermined by the staff (and contractors) to which its development was assigned. The input of the focus group received minimal consideration. As a practical guide to voting system testing, it has little value and places local jurisdictions at unnecessary risk of challenge for not following its guidelines.

Are you a Betty or Veronica? Archie or Reggie?
Veronica only because I've been known to steal boyfriends but if this is in regards to the new MAC line of makeup, I'm a Betty because that Veronica lipstick is ugh.ReplyCancel
I'm a Betty who can turn on the Veronica when I want, I guess. But I'm really not like either of them. Betty is too perfect and Veronica is too bitchy.
Ha, on the other hand, maybe I *am* a Veronica.ReplyCancel
Lol! @ LucasReplyCancel
I wanted to be Veronica but I'm more of a Betty and I'm okay with that! 😉ReplyCancel
Unfortunately, I'm Big Ethel.ReplyCancel
Used to be Veronica, but rapidly turning into Betty in my more mature and now a mother, age.ReplyCancel
I'm going with Midge- jealous boyfriend, ends up with jughead.ReplyCancel
A little Veronica and a little BettyReplyCancel
Betty. I am all Betty. But it suits me so it's okay.ReplyCancel
Cheryl Blossom. BOOM.ReplyCancel
Oh goodness this one is funny!!!ReplyCancel
I was Calvin and Hobbs fan. So I have the slightest idea.ReplyCancel
Damn it, Krab, I'm supposed to be Lucy–my mother always said so! 😉 (Seriously, if I'd ever had a daughter, I wanted to name her Lucy… *sigh*) Alternatively, I suppose I could be Hothead Paisan, Homicidal Lesbian Terrorist, except I'm none of those 3 particular things…but I do appreciate the ways in which she deals with rapists and the like. 🙂ReplyCancel
If my comment ever gets there and stays there, I'm a Betty, except I wouldn't go out with a guy like Archie (who couldn't make up his mind).ReplyCancel
Veronica because that's my name.ReplyCancel
Sorry, @krab and @robin, my high school nickname was Lucy because I was so bossy, and then I played her in a community theater version of "Snoopy", I totally get dibs on this one!
But in the Archie world, all Betty, and I was a total Archie comics fan, I totally wanted to Betty when I grew up.
I'm a betty who looks like ron.
@JSierra "Betty" was just slang for "pretty girl" referring to the 30s terminology after Betty Grable (which incidentally may have been where Betty Cooper's name came from so I guess we could argue you're not wrong) – I know seems like a stretch for high school students but that's what you get with incredibly smart and talented writing, excellent acting, as a version of the 90s in a movie.
No more dark chocolate for me after 8 😉ReplyCancel
A Veronica less the boyfriend stealing with a dash of Betty.ReplyCancel
I went through a phase when I was younger and I was obsessed with these comics.
Definitely a Betty. I liked Archie.ReplyCancel
