Skip to comments.32 States Have Borrowed from the Federal Government to Make Unemployment Payments
Posted on 05/21/2010 7:21:54 PM PDT by NormsRevenge
EconomicPolicyJournal.com has learned that 32 states have run out funds to make unemployment benefit payments and that the federal governmant has been supplying these states with funds so that they can make their payments to the unemployed. In some cases, states have borrowed billions. As of May 20, the total balance outstanding by 32 states (and the Virgin Islands) is $37.8 billion.
The state of California has borrowed $6.9 billion. Michigan has borrowed $3.9 billion, Illinois $2.2 billion.
Below is the full list of the 32 states (and the Virgin Islands) that have borrowed from the Fed to make unemployment payments, and the amounts that remain borrowed as of May 20 . (Numbers in red are billions)
(Excerpt) Read more at economicpolicyjournal.com ...
...the Dems will keep the unemployment checks flowing indefinately...they would rather do that then create jobs.
Well the states know that the Feds can just print more! problem solved!
I'm disappointed to see that Texas has borrowed a billion.
Hey, the feds got plenty of money. Hell, they either grow it on trees or print it themselves.
Well, that's 32 states that are vassals of the fed.
The founders must be spinning in their graves. Again. and Again.
Anyone up to doing an analysis on Red State vs. Blue State? Perhaps normalizing over popultation or congressional seats?
Just wait until the unfunded mandates caused by the HC Reform bill are added to the tab! Vassalage will look good.
Barak is the greatest master of all time.
Debt is the basis of a sound economy
Okay, I'm laughing as I write that!! I can't do it.
TEXAS??? We are required to balance the budget every year. How in the world can this happen.
Only 25 more states to go.............
More people unemployed, less paying in more taking out and the new Washington DC mandate extending benefits to the end of the year.
A few years ago Kansas ranked #1 in unemployment benefit overpayments.
Hmmm, didn't see this coming.
Alabama $ 283 million
Arkansas 330 million
California 6.9 billion
Colorado 253 million
Connecticut 498 million
Delaware 12 million
Florida 1.6 billion
Georgia 416 million
Idaho 202 million
Illinois 2.2 billion
Indiana 1.7 billion
Kansas 88 million
Kentucky 795 million
Maryland 133 million
Mass. 387 million
Michigan 3.9 billion
Minnesota 477 million
Missouri 722 million
Nevada 397 million
New Jersey 1.7 billion
New York 3.2 billion
N.C. 2.1 billion
Ohio 2.3 billion
Penn. 3.0 billion
R.I. 225 million
S.C. 886 million
S.D. 24 million
Tennessee 21 million
Texas 1.0 billion
Vermont 33 million
Virginia 346 million
Virgin Islands 13 million
Wisconsin 1.4 billion
Total $37.8 billion
Red county v. blue county would be more accurate. At least as far as Commiefornia is concerned.
Ditto. Another $1 billion spent and Texas will have to find a way to make up the nearly $13 billion budget shortfall during the next session of the Texas Legislature. Texas only has about $9 billion in it's so-called 'rainy day' fund. Before these 'geniuses' decide to raise taxes and fees on those of us that work, try cutting all the unnecessary spending(parks, recreation, etc.). If that doesn't work, they can then tell all state agencies to cut their staffing by 25%. Private industry does it all the time.
In short, make do with less. When you run out of money, you stop spending. Why can't the government?
States are borrowing from thwe fed, but where is the fed borrowing it from? China? And these are states that are already have huge budget shortfalls.
This is getting absurd. Some are forcasting the economy to collapse this summer. Be ready. Prepare. And hope it hangs on.
Of course its absurd.
Hope it hangs on? So they can go even farther into debt?
Just imagine what the economy would look like (statistically speaking) without this borrowing.
This is a giant stimulus package which is masking just how bad this economy is.
Until I get a decent paying job unemployment is all I have. So he** yes I need those benefits...I've worked since I was 18 and this the FIRST time I've ever had to collect unemployment. So spare those of us who are trying to land jobs any sarcastic comments...you try being over 55 and getting a job in today's market...it ain't gonna happen....and that's a FACT Jack.
No Montana there.
I believe all these unemployment payments are just covering up a real depression to keep the public out of the bread lines, soup kitchens and out of the public eye. People would realize the much greater extent of the malaise perpetrated by the BHO regime and their Marxist, NWO cohorts and perhaps rise up and correct the situation.
From what I have seen though, don't make hasty generalizations about employers not hiring older workers. Many that I know - and I know hundreds - are desperate to jettison the 20 to 30 year old cohort. They just aren't worth the candle. I saw it again yesterday. A 61 year old replacing two twenty somethings.
Many of these jobs pay modestly but the upside is open. What business needs right now are the competent middle managers. Experience counts and counts heavily. You may not think that your skillset encompasses this but most of them require a reasonably intelligent human being who goes to work in the morning and leaves when the job is done. Promotion is rapid but there are so many four-flushers out there that employers usually require a stint in the ranks.
Try to approach businesses where you can deal directly with the manager or owner. They ARE looking for you.
Good luck and may God bless.
WTF? perry-says-texas-has-surplus
Maybe I'm reading the info at the link wrong. After all, there is an upcoming election and Perry will spew whatever he feels he needs to get elected..
Louisiana not there! Yay!
Mississippi not there either! Yay again!
Someone pointed out that we do have one heck of a bread line. Around 40 million people are receiving food stamps. The line's just invisible because we get cards to use at the store rather than having to go stand in a kitchen line somewhere.
Borrowing borrowed bucks.
...when I was 55 I got the boot from a company I'd been with for 28 years of loyal service...I was on unemployment for a brief period because I couldn't find a "decent job"...then it dawned on me that I'd better take what I could get...so that's what I did...at less than half of what I used to make, but so what...it was honest work, and I took it.
....and NormsRevenge is right...the older worker has a place in the work force because the boss knows he's reliable and doesn't goof off on the job.
....I wish you good luck.
The money is being funneled into Chase debit cards, flowing from AZ. No relationship to gumby, of course... and I'm sure there are no fees funneled to Chase...
It is actually cheaper to use debit cards than to generate checks. Banks make money either way but the state pays less this way to transfer funds.
My point had nothing to do with saving money. Zero and his minions have no desire to do that. They are, instead, syphoning every dime they can from the flow of dollars. This isn't a redistribution thing. It is THEFT and will never be prosecuted.
Instead, this crew will leave us with a mountain of debt while they continue to drain our pockets with the taxes they are imposing. Most Banks aren't the problem... just their favored ones are the conduits.

Try moving. You can't farm in the desert, so to speak.
Well, thats 32 states that are vassals of the fed.

The Democrats are enjoying every crisis that they can blame on Bush and that will keep the American people, depressed, angry and feeling helpless.
An unemployed person is another Government *dependent*.
For politicians who prefer slaves to citizens there is an upside to a depressed economy.....psychological & class warfare.
We're broke. That's the "change". Fun isn't it?
Move where? There's over 100K that move to North Texas every year.
As for us folks over 50, there's the federal government, and that's about it.
I hear St. Tammany parish has the lowest unemployment in the state, at around 4.8%. My parents live there..seriously considering moving back home. I hate it up north. Too frickin cold.

Very comfy
"These shoes are casual, but not sloppy looking and are great for slipping on and running about town. The dark blue is a great colour. I am back to get the grey.I knocked off one star because I have only had them a few months and the rubber is rubbing off the bottom. But I walk them a lot, so these could just be shoes that are meant not for walking"

This past weekend I helped my husband and his mother clean up some debris from the storms which had come through Thursday night/Friday morning. Here are before and after photos.
Around the periphery of her yard and growing up her trees is poison ivy.
If you have read my blog over the past few years, you may recall that poison ivy and I don't mix well. I seem to have managed to not accidently grab any of it when picking up limbs and debris. I am very thankful.
Still, it's time to remind myself and you to watch out for poison ivy as you get outside to walk and play.
Here is a "updated" version of my post from May 23, 2008
I love to walk in the woods with my dog. I am lucky to have a neighbor who has a trail through her woods around her pond that she encourages us to use. This time of year I have to watch out for poison ivy. In the picture here you can see the poison ivy (leaves of three) intermingled with some Virginia Creeper (five leaves). I find both very pretty.
However, to the poison ivy I tend to react like this (photo credit):
Dr. Paul Auerbach wrote a review of the product Zanfel in 2008. In the comment section White Coat left this helpful suggestion
One of the other things that helps to some degree is "Ivy Block" - it allegedly keeps the urushiol from binding to the skin. http://www.ivyblock.com/ivyblock.php
Also, TechNu is reported to work as well as Zanfel, but is significantly less expensive. http://www.teclabsinc.com/products.cfm?id=1F5604C8-9D05-4675-56129F6D83DF2417§ion=1

USDA Helps a Farm Equipment Dealership Expand, Create Jobs in North Dakota
After 40 years, the John Deere dealership in Ashley, North Dakota has moved, but not far. About a mile down the road, over 250 people recently gathered to celebrate the grand opening of Green Iron Equipment's new $2 million facility. USDA Rural Development helped finance the project by partnering with a local cooperative, KEM Electric. Through the Rural Economic Development Loan Program, Green Iron Equipment received a $740,000 loan.
The original dealership consisted of four separate buildings in downtown Ashley. Two of those structures housed small service shops that could not accommodate large farm machinery. Read more »

Sharpe Community Scholars
Our Program Mission
The Sharpe Community Scholars Program strives to support the development of select first-year students through the integration of academic studies, research and community engagement.
Why combine research and academic study with community engagement? Relevance. Because knowledge matters in the real world. Sharpe Community Scholars take advantage of W&M's liberal arts education with a committed goal from the start: putting their learning to work in the world and in communities around them.
Each year the program selects between 60 and 75 applicants to enroll in courses that are specifically designed to prepare students for engaged learning with and within communities. Sharpe Scholars live together in Spotswood Hall (which is designated especially for the program) and work closely with faculty and peer mentors to develop community-based research skills and form action plans for community engagement throughout the year.
Some scholars advance to completing independent and Honors community-based research. All Sharpe and Scholars are eligible to apply for Sharpe summer research funding.
Check out what Sharpe Community Scholars say they've gained in previous years.
Community-Based Learning and Research
Sharpe Scholars receive extensive support from William & Mary professors, upper level Teaching Fellows, and community professionals who are committed to developing student leaders prepared to take-on new challenges and to promote transformative social and structural change. Students learn to develop community-based action and research through mentorship, collaboration, and learning experiences structured by our curriculum.
Please note that Sharpe Scholars spend an average of 5 hours each week outside of class in meetings, dedicated to community action with and within communities. Often, these meetings lead to the development of collaborative research-based projects.
Spotswood Hall is the first building within the larger all-freshman Botetourt Complex. It is located within easy walking distance of the William & Mary Commons dining hall and Rec Center, and includes a classroom for class and small-group meetings.
Summer Research Grants
Sharpe students are eligible to apply for summer research grants of $3,000 to support self-designed, community-based research. These competitive grants are restricted to Sharpe Scholars and may be used in the U.S. or abroad. For a list of sample projects please go to Summer Grants.

If you've ever seen a silent movie from the 1910s or '20s performed with live musical accompaniment, then you'll have an inkling of what the Video Games Live concert series is about.
"It's all the energy and excitement of a rock concert mixed with the power and emotion of the symphony, combined with the cutting-edge visuals, technology, interactivity and fun video games provide," said co-creator and video-game composer Tommy Tallarico.
To this end, "Video Games Live" is an international touring production scheduled to make stops at several comic book and gaming conventions this summer. While footage of video games such as "World of Warcraft," "Zelda" and "Final Fantasy" plays on a huge screen, immersing audiences in the rich visual world of digital gaming, a live orchestra accompanies with soundtrack music best described as "epic." In each tour stop, local professional musicians play the concert, rehearsing the day before and the day of the show.
The GCC Concert Singers under the direction of Visual and Performing Arts Division Chair Dr. Peter Green have been asked back to sing at Video Games Live Concerts this summer. Last year the group performed at Video Games Live at the Nokia Theatre in Downtown LA with the Pasadena Symphony with great success. It was an exciting event, bringing together people of all ages, including many young people whom hadn't listened to classical music before.
This year, the Concert Singers will join the Pacific Symphony on July 17 at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in Irvine, and the Pasadena Community Orchestra, directed by GCC's own Beth Pfeugler, at the world-renowned COMIC CON in San Diego on July 20 (over 150,000 attendees!).
The Glendale College Community has a rare chance to enjoy the July 17 concert in Irvine, thanks to one of our adjunct faculty teachers, Sheri Mitchell, who also happens to be the Director of Group Sales at the Pacific Symphony.
The GCC Alumni Association has been set up as an "affinity group," which offers 20 percent discounts on any seats. Additionally, seats in the 3rd tier will be discounted even further - only $20.00. The purchase must be made through the group sales phone number through Sheri Mitchell; the box office will not be able to extend the discount.
Group Sales, 714/ 876-2384, mention GCC Alumni Association
Wednesday, July 17, at 8:00 p.m.
The "Video Games Live" tour — created by video-game composers Tallarico and Jack Wall — has been growing since its inauguration in 2005, when it went to just three states. Now it spans the world.
Both the Irvine and San Diego events will include a laser show and a costume contest and will debut a brand new work, never before performed at Video Games Live!
For more information about Video Games Live: http://www.videogameslive.com
July 17 - Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre
8808 Irvine Center Drive, Irvine, CA 92618
Tickets - $25-$75 (see above for discount rates)
July 20 – COMIC CON - San Diego Civic Theatre
1100 3rd Ave San Diego, CA 92101
Tickets are sold out!

text: So did anyone notice that BOTH Obito and Madara have connected to the Juubi via something attached at their neck? Reference the previous chapter for clearer pictures. This is odd to me. If I recall correctly, the Juubi was incapable of being controlled by anyone other than the sage of the 6 paths. And all those 2 have to do is land on it's eye-lid and the Juubi willingly attaches itself to them? What's the catch/trick here? If it were that easy.. I would have hoped someone before the sage figured it out.

BF1942, the Game I will never get bored of. Great sound, medium graphics, very difficult when played on lan parties. Battle of Britain is my favorite map, me and my friends have a plan for this map, we just take our planes from britain and we fly to ocuped france, to steal one of those big german bomber planes, and with that, conquer the sky killing everything. 4 guys in a plane how is that? LOT OF FUN. Concerning the 1918 mod, I will download it, it's free. But to me, the best BF 1942 mod to date is Desert Combat, It's like having a complete new game. Loved those huge maps, amazing vehicles and jet fighters... dude I just love BF.

Amazing Shoes!
"These shoes are perfect for a night out or adding some extra kick to your workwear. I purchased the black version and they are fabulous.

Super comfy and easy to walk in, went great with skinny jeans and a blazer as well as a date-night dress!

Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon said there are periodic checks by the Utah Highway Patrol on the buses passing through Green River. One of these periodic checks resulted in a drug bust. The marijuana was estimated to be more than 100 pounds and was concealed and camoflauged in three suitcases. A K-9 officer from the Utah Highway patrol still detected the marijuana.
A 57 year old woman was arrested in connection with the marijuana and is being held in the Emery County Detention Center. She has been booked on possession charges with intent to distribute a controlled substance. Her arraignment is scheduled for Tuesday.

Carl Jung's theories were influential for many Surrealists and, in turn, for many Abstract Expressionists in shaping ideas about the creative capacity of the conscious and unconscious mind. It was Jungian psychology that encouraged the Surrealists to harness the imagery of their dreams and to experiment with mark-making techniques that freed the artist from conscious control over their creativity. From 1939 to 1940 Jackson Pollock was a patient of the Jungian psychologist Joseph Henderson. Over the course of 18 months, Pollock submitted 83 drawings to Henderson as material for analytical aids in Pollock's therapy. The Gallery's two works show a close association with Pollock's 'psychoanalytic drawings', both in style and subject matter.
The earlier drawing, Untitled, produced between 1933 and 1939, is linked to both Cubism and Futurism in its exploration of movement, dynamism and energy through a multifaceted, linear form. Pollock's depiction of an amalgamated figure that displays both horse and bird-like features is rendered in a garish palette of red, orange, yellow and brown. The modelling of form using the juxtaposition of light and dark and the overall emphasis on line, heightens the skeletal quality of the beast. The figure appears to be parading from left to right whilst throwing its head back. A curving tectonic form glides its way down the composition from the upper right, behind the beast's neck and reveals itself again at the lower left, where it appears snake-like. The conjoining of two animals or an animal–human entity occurs frequently in Pollock's drawings of this period. The image can be linked with his significant interest in Jungian iconography, including specific animals such as snakes, mandalas and shadows, which can be analysed as symbolic referents for such life forces as birth, death, power and failure.
In Untitled c.1939–42 the viewer is presented with the rump of a horse, shown in multiple views over several moments in time. The face of a bull appears at the lower left, looking directly at the viewer with a single yellow eye. Its enormous mass is rendered in orange and it appears conjoined with the horse into a condensed, almost vortex-like accumulation of small, short pencil strokes. Horse legs, hooves and heads are repeated, suggesting a frenetic movement that sweeps from the centre of the image and around, arcing across the composition from right to left. In the lower left corner, the horse figure dissipates into an array of empty eye sockets and skulls, finally coming to rest on the ground as a single white bone. This drawing, in particular, seems to evoke a life-and-death cycle, something that Pollock often symbolically explored in both his paintings and his drawings.
Aside from the Jungian references, a contemporaneous event adds an interesting perspective to the analysis of this later drawing: the display of Pablo Picasso's seminal painting Guernica in New York at the Valentine Gallery in 1939. Read as homage to Picasso, Pollock's reason for combining the bull and the horse becomes evident—both animals are used in Guernica as powerfully loaded symbols depicting the Fascist atrocities of the Spanish Civil War.

As well as the two paintings by Pollock, Totem lesson 2 1945 and Blue poles 1952, the National Gallery of Australia holds six drawings from the 1930s and 1940s, and two sets of prints: six intaglio prints c.1944, printed in1967, and six screenprints 1950.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
For the first time in their very short history of being a high school swim team, the swimmers from Emery High School have tasted victory in a dual meet. Last Wednesday, Emery hosted Delta at the Emery Aquatic Center and defeated the Rabbits 141-115. Delta has long had a swim team and had soundly defeated the Spartans last season.
On this day, the meet was won because Emery seemingly had more depth than Delta. The Emery swimmers who had done well in their first couple of meets also did well here but they had help as the rest of the young squad stepped up their swim and also did well. The Emery boys score was 80-54 while the girls team tied 61-61.
Weston Allinson won event six, the 200 yard individual medley in 2:37.85, won event 18, the 100-yard backstroke in 1:10.64 and was a member of two winning relay teams, event two, the 200-yard medley relay and event 22, the 400-yard freestyle relay. Eli Oliverson won event 20, the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:17.96, finished second in event 12, the 100-yard freestyle and was also a member of the two relay teams. Tyler Rowley won event 14, the 500-yard freestyle in 6:13.92, finished second in the 100-yard backstroke and also was a member of both relay teams. All three swimmers are juniors in this second-year program.
Connor Benson swam on the 400-yard relay team and Spencer Fauver swam on the 200-yard relay team. In event four, the 200-yard freestyle, Colton Clement finished second and Benson finished fourth. In event eight, the 50-yard freestyle, Fauver finished second and Justan Potter finished fourth. In the 100-yard backstroke, Michael Nelson finished third.
In the 200-yard medley, Nelson, Benson, Clement and Taylor Hardman finished third. In the 200-yard freestyle relay, Clement, Nelson, Potter and Fauver finished second. In that same event, Hardman, Leedan Johnson, Randy Allen and Tyler Miera finished third.
Jessica Guymon was the only individual winner for Emery on the girls' side. Guymon won event 19, the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:27.96. Tennyson Fauver finished second and Hailee Rogers finished third in that same race.
The girls' 400-yard freestyle relay team took event 21 in 5:39.83. The team consisted of Brinne Dawes, Rogers, Ashlin Daley and Mia Doria. The 200-yard freestyle relay team of Fauver, Guymon, Tanner Peterson and Morgan Curtis finished second. The 200-yard medley team of Daley, Fauver, Dawes and Doria also finished second.
Also placing for Emery were Peterson second in the 200-yard freestyle, Doria, Rogers and Guymon were second, third and fourth in the 50-yard freestyle, Dawes was second in the 100-yard butterfly, Peterson, Judy Boyer and Jolyn Jennings were second, third and fourth in the 100-yard freestyle.
Emery's next home swim meet is Dec. 10 against Uintah.

Over the weekend of January 17-19, Mesquite was bustling with car enthusiast attending the Mesquite Motor Mania event, players and spectators here for the UYSA Soccer Presidents Cup, and the normal flow of visitors in and out of Mesquite. The streets were filled with traffic, no vacancy signs posted in hotels, and restaurants were filled to capacity. The Mesquite police were busier than normal with their duties, which always accompany these events.
On the evening of Friday January 17, calls of service related to property crimes began pouring in and continued hammering the phone lines throughout the weekend. Twenty one property related crimes ranging from multiple stolen vehicles, vehicle, residential, and commercial burglaries, property damage, merchandise thefts, and even stolen bicycles, were perpetrated throughout the city. Mesquite Police Detectives were called out to process crime scenes and Patrol Officers were placed on high alert.
On Sunday, January 19, an alert Patrol Sergeant spotted a suspicious van near the entrance to a gated community. As the Sergeant attempted to maneuver his patrol vehicle around the landscaped median, the suspicious van fled at a high rate of speed, resulting in the driver losing control and crashing. By the time the Sergeant arrived at the site of crash, the driver had fled on foot into the darkness of the night. The Sergeant discovered the van had been recently reported as stolen. The crashed van was found filled with property stolen from recent burglaries. An investigation of the crash scene led Detectives to multiple leads with possible suspects.
In the early morning hours of Monday, January 20, more calls reporting property crimes lit up the phone lines. Patrol Officers and Detectives quickly continued collecting evidence, which led to officers locating stolen property hidden throughout the city. Shortly after noon, an observant patrol officer discovered a male adult acting suspicious in a local business parking lot. The male was found to be in possession of a stolen vehicle from St. George, Utah. The vehicle in his possession was filled with items that were stolen throughout the weekend from Mesquite homes and businesses.
The adult male was identified as Jeffery Paget, 21, of St. George, Utah. He was placed under arrest and charged with: burglary, possession of a stolen vehicle, possession of a stolen firearm, ex-felon in possession of a firearm, possession of stolen property, possession of a stolen credit cards, obtaining/possessing a credit card without consent, receiving stolen property, theft, destruction of property, grand larceny, theft from a motor vehicle, and possession of controlled substance/methamphetamine. Additional charges against Paget relating to the crimes are pending.
Further investigation has established Paget was not working alone. The Mesquite police department (MPD) has identified a second suspect as Robert Trask, 53, of Tucson, Arizona. MPD is actively seeking Trask for questioning. MPD requests citizens be on the lookout for Trask, who is described as a Hispanic male, 6'00", 200lbs, brown hair, brown eyes, and possible brown facial hair (see attached photo). If Trask is located or seen, immediately contact Mesquite Dispatch at (702)346-6911.
Chief of Police Troy Tanner credits the resolution of this weekend crime spree, due to the cooperative effort between Patrol Officers and Detectives. Chief Tanner said, "With the sheer number of cases we investigated this weekend, it takes numerous man hours from the beginning to the end to ensure justice is served and stolen property is returned to the rightful owner." Chief Tanner also acknowledged that investigations are continuing with the incident and more arrests may be imminent.

Joe's Valley Dam has been spilling for a few weeks now and thousands of gallons of water have gone down the spillway and caused Cottonwood Creek to become a raging river. One brave person with his son on board his jet ski was seen venturing close to the spillway. Fortunately for him there were some barriers to prevent him from getting into the spillway.
Joe's Valley Reservoir was constructed between 1963-65. It is managed by the Emery Water Conservancy District. The height of the reservoir is 192 feet and the crest length is 740 feet. The reservoir holds 62,460 acre feet of water. The spillway can release 5,000 cfs and the outlet works 450 cfs.
Joe's Valley was originally built to store supplemental water for 18,775 acres. The reservoir now delivers water for agriculture, municipal and industrial uses including the power plant. The forest service manages the recreational use on the reservoir including fishing and boating.
The Division of Wildlife Resources has worked hard to remove chub from the reservoir. They have planted tiger muskie in the reservoir and they are beginning to see rapid growth of this species.
Boaters and fisherman are urged to use extreme caution with the high water conditions present at Joe's Valley as well as other reservoirs around the region. Stay away from the spillways at the reservoirs.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
In a recent Emery County Public Lands meeting, Dennis Worwood, public lands chairman picked out excerpts from the Federal Land Policy Management Act and highlighted them as well as offered a clarification for these regulations. Part II of this series explores the issue of public land management further:
Definition: The term "withdrawal" means withholding an area of federal land from settlement, sale, location, or entry, under some or all of the general land laws, for the purpose of limiting activities under those laws in order to maintain other public values in the area or reserving the area for a particular public purpose or program.
Worwood's comment: Lands that receive some designation typically go through two processes: first, they are withdrawn, meaning that the government will never sell or dispose of them, and some uses of the land are generally also withdrawn, such as "the land is withdrawn from mineral entry," which means that mining will not be allowed. The second step is reservation, in which the land is "reserved" for some special purpose, such as wilderness.
Consistency clause: ...to the extent consistent with the laws governing the administration of the public lands, coordinate the land use inventory, planning, and management activities of or for such lands with the land use planning and management programs of other federal departments and agencies and of the states and local governments within which the lands are located. In implementing this directive, the secretary shall, to the extent he finds practical, keep apprised of state, local, and tribal land use plans; assure that consideration is given to those state, local, and tribal plans that are germane in the development of land use plans for public lands; ...assist in resolving, to the extent practical, inconsistencies between federal and non-federal government plans, ...provide for meaningful public involvement of state and local government officials, both elected and appointed, in the development of land use programs, land use regulations, and land use decisions for public lands.
Such officials in each state are authorized to furnish advice to the secretary with respect to the development and revision of land use plans, land use guidelines, land use rules, and land use regulations for the public lands within such state and with respect to such other land use matters as may be referred to them by him. Land use plans of the secretary under this section shall be consistent with state and local plans to the maximum extent he finds consistent with federal law and the purposes of this act.
Worwood's comments: This is the often-cited consistency clause, which tells the BLM to involve the state and counties in planning and decision-making processes. It is sometimes misquoted or misconstrued to mean that the BLM must make its plans conform with county master plans. FLPMA directs the BLM to consider the county's plans, but only to "...the extent practical", or to the "...maximum extent consistent with federal law." The bottom line is, BLM plans must comply with federal law. If county plans are consistent with federal law, then BLM plans can (or will) also comply with them. For example, the county may wish to have some gravel pits on BLM land to make it possible to maintain roads in the Swell. If the county located a gravel deposit that was home to an endangered species, the BLM must comply with the Endangered Species Act rather than the county plan.
Where no resource conflicts exist, the county has some extra leverage to use on the BLM, thanks to the consistency clause. But the clause is certainly not as powerful as some folks make it out to be.
Multiple use and sustained yield requirements applicable; exception: The secretary shall manage the public lands under principles of multiple use and sustained yield, ...except that where a tract of such public land has been dedicated to specific uses according to any other provisions of law it shall be managed in accordance with such law
Worwood's comments: Again, FLPMA would be a multiple use law if the statement stopped after the word "yield." However, it continues to say that when a piece of land has received some type of designation (wilderness, national conservation area, monument, etc), it will be managed according to the act or proclamation that created it. Notice that the words "...to the extent practical" are not used here as they are in the consistency clause. When land has been designated, it will be managed according to the act or proclamation, period. If the act does not specify how a certain activity is to be managed, then the rules of FLPMA apply. For example, grazing may be managed under the rules of FLPMA inside wilderness or national conservation areas, unless the act creating the areas says otherwise. FLPMA creates two broad classes of BLM land: Lands that will be managed under FLPMA for multiple use, and lands that receive some designation and will be managed under the act that created them. In each instance, the county's goal is to have management that is consistent with local needs and desires. In the case of multiple use lands, we can best do this by participating in the development of resource management plans. On lands that will receive some type of designation, we must work to see that the act or proclamation is consistent with local desires, since the land will be managed according to that document. Of course, the BLM must also develop management plans for designated areas, but we cannot rely on the planning process to protect us if the act or proclamation is contrary to our wishes. For example, if a wilderness bill created boundaries or water language that were contrary to county wishes, we couldn't "fix" things through the resource management plan. This is why Emery County got into the business of proposing NCAs and even a monument. decision makers in Congress and the Dept. of Interior have consistently and repeatedly told us that the Swell WILL receive some type of designation. (Even our own congressmen and senators have told us this.) Our task was to find a way to influence the law that will ultimately guide management on the Swell. We took a direct approach and attempted to draft the law ourselves. We were not successful in those attempts. I still believe that we did the right thing by trying to protect the county's interests in this manner. When Congress finally tackles the Utah wilderness issue in earnest, we will have to find a way to incorporate county wishes into the Bill. I'm not sure how to do that.
Roads "grandfathered": nothing in this subchapter shall have the effect of terminating any right-of-way or right-of-use heretofore issued, granted, or permitted.
Worwood's comments: Revised Statute 2477 of the 1872 mining law granted everyone the right to create highways, at will, across public land. That right was revoked by FLPMA, but the above statement makes it clear that existing right of ways would be recognized. In my opinion, Congress made at least three major mistakes in FLPMA's handling of roads: First, FLPMA did not direct the BLM to conduct an inventory of roads to determine how many existed in 1976. We are now in the process of trying to document which roads existed 30 years ago. Second, FLPMA did not define what a "highway" was. We are still arguing about what a road is. Finally, FLPMA did not define "construction". Can roads be constructed through use, or must there be deliberate planning and construction? Since Congress didn't define the term, we are stuck with whatever definition the current secretary of interior or the latest court case give us.
Wilderness review deadline: Within 15 years after Oct. 21, 1976, the secretary shall review those roadless areas of 5,000 acres or more and roadless islands of the public lands, identified during the inventory required by section 1711(a) of this title as having wilderness characteristics described in the Wilderness Act of Sept. 3, 1964.
Worwood's comments: The 1964 Wilderness Act did not apply to BLM land. Only land managed by the forest service and national park service was eligible to be designated wilderness. FLPMA expanded the Wilderness Preservation System to include BLM land. This is further proof that Congress did not view FLPMA as the solution to all management problems on BLM land. If FLPMA was capable of providing protection to all BLM land, why did Congress make BLM land eligible for wilderness, order the BLM to conduct a wilderness inventory, and give them a deadline to do so? I wish FLPMA had ordered the BLM to inventory roads and settle RS-2477road claims before doing a wilderness inventory. It might have made the issue clearer and saved us a lot of trouble.
Non-impairment clause: ...the secretary shall continue to manage such lands according to his authority under this act and other applicable law in a manner so as not to impair the suitability of such areas for preservation as wilderness
Worwood's comments: This states that wilderness study areas must be managed in a way that does not impair their ability to be designated as wilderness. The non-impairment clause is the basis of SUWA's lawsuit challenging the use of ATVs on the Devil's Racetrack and the Eva Conover Road. SUWA claims that ATVs cause erosion and noise that impair the wilderness qualities of the area. Judge Kimball heard SUWA's case, and while acknowledging that ATVs had caused some damage, he felt that the BLM was taking adequate steps to address the problem. SUWA appealed the decision to the 10th District Court in Denver, arguing that taking steps was not enough-the BLM absolutely MUST preserve the wilderness character of the area. The district court bought SUWA's argument and ordered Judge Kimball to take another look at the case. His decision is still pending. The 10th District ruling is a big deal because it might greatly expand the court's ability to dictate management on public land. In the past, courts simply looked at process�did the BLM go through the right steps in making their decisions� but did not try to second-guess the BLM's decisions.
If SUWA prevails, the court will rule on whether the BLM is actually doing the right thing. If that happens, the courts will be cluttered by suits from all kinds of special interest groups who want a judge to over-ride the BLM.
That would be a nightmare.
Debates will continue on the use of public lands in Emery County.
The Emery County Public Lands Council meets the second Tuesday of each month at 10 a.m. at the county building.

Nuchal Translucency Screening Test
The nuchal translucency screening test, also called the nuchal fold scan, is often used as the first test to determine whether you are at risk of having a baby with a chromosomal abnormality, such as Down Syndrome, trisomy 13 or trisomy 18. It cannot diagnose an abnormality; it only determines if you are at high risk for an abnormality and can help you decide if you want to undergo more invasive and riskier diagnostic testing such as Chorionic Villus Sampling or amniocentesis. Unlike these diagnostic tests, nuchal translucency screening is painless and involves no risk to you or your baby.
Babies accumulate fluid at the back of their neck (nuchal) during the first trimester. As a result of this fluid, the baby's nuchal fold increases in thickness each day of gestation until the fluid disappears around the 15th week. Researchers have established an average or "normal" thickness for each day during the three weeks you are eligible for the screening (between the 11th and 14th week of pregnancy). If your baby's nuchal fold is thicker than average, he or she is considered at a higher risk for an abnormality; if it's thinner, his or her risk is lower.
The screening uses ultrasound to first confirm your baby's gestational age and then measure the clear space in the tissue at the back of its neck using calipers. Your doctor will send the data from the screening to a laboratory where the nuchal fold measurements, as well as your baby's age and your age, are applied to a formula to compute your baby's chances of having a chromosomal abnormality, based on statistical probability.
The results of the screening will be in the form of a ratio that expresses your baby's chances for having a chromosomal defect. A normal result, also called a "screen negative," is not a guarantee that your baby is normal, but suggests that a chromosomal problem is unlikely. A "screen positive," or an abnormal result, doesn't mean that your baby definitely has an abnormality - simply that there is an increased risk. Most "screen positive" babies turn out to be normal. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, the nuchal translucency screening test has a 64 to 70 percent accuracy rate.
A more accurate risk assessment, called the first trimester combined screening, combines the nuchal fold test with results from two blood tests that measure the levels of plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in your blood. Abnormal levels of these two pregnancy-related substances may indicate a problem. This combined testing has an 82 to 87 percent accuracy in detecting Down Syndrome and trisomies 13 and 18.
A relatively new option that appears to offer the most accurate assessment of fetal chromosomal and neural tube health is the combined integrated screening, or stepwise sequential screening. This test combines the results of the first trimester combined screening and the quad marker test available in the second trimester between the 15th and 20th weeks of pregnancy. Stepwise sequential screening has a 95 percent detection rate, however the results are not available until the second trimester.

Skip to comments.The Next Mitt Romney:GOP Establishment trumpets another Great Moderate Hope -- Jeb Bush
Posted on 11/27/2012 7:22:56 AM PST by bestintxasEdited on 11/27/2012 7:28:57 AM PST by Admin Moderator. [history]
Say again, neutral.
As Ronald Reagan might say, there he went again.
What was Jeb Bush neutral about?
The choice between liberal Charlie Crist and conservative Marco Rubio for the Republican nomination for United States Senator from Florida.
Oh, he finally came around. After then-Governor Crist endorsed the Obama stimulus, this was a bridge too far even for former Governor Bush.
(Excerpt) Read more at spectator.org ...
We have had two too many for my me.
The republican party is dead and soooooo over and the shame is they dont know it.. kinda like the walking dead... Kinda smell like the walking dead too
George and Barbara get their man:
GWB in 2000 and 2004
Romney in 2012
Jebbie in 2016
George P. sometime after they are gone
Our little Republican primary voters never seem to understand.
Agreed - I'll write in "Grimace" before I ever vote for another Bush.
No way, no how, not now, not ever. Done done done.
They can't possibly be that stupid.....can they?
Bush/Dole 2016!! ~sarc
..sends a tingle up Joe Scarborough's leg!
I'm through with the GOP. My entire family is changing affiliation to Independent. I predict it will be Jeb Bush/Chris Christie for their 2016 ticket to nowhere.
No more Bushes. No more Presidential dynasties in the GOP. We need to nominate a real conservative. Just say no to Jeb and to Chris Christie, for that matter.
They are banking on his wife and their half Latino kids getting him in. They are just pandering to the Latino voters. Wonder what Jeb will be promising for their votes? And yes we will actual hear someone in the MSM comparing Columba to "Jackie-O" LOL they had the nerve to compare Moochelle to her. Can you just imagine the "Latino Jackie" LOL. It is a nightmare. Whites don't count anymore at all.
Just watch. Jeb will get favorable coverage by the MSM..while any conservative will be attacked and demonized. That will last until the day he is nominated..then they will tear apart the whole line of Bush's leading to him.
But, we conservatives make a big mistake..we should have our own party..or nominate a candidate in a pre-primary contest to centralize and focus our support. If we end up with 5 guys/gals against Jeb..well we will get Jeb.
We need to decide,,among conservatives..in the next two years who it will be.
Little doubt that Karl Rove is pushing hard for this. Is Ann Coulter far behind?
Has Chris Christie endorsed Jeb yet?
"George P. sometime after they are gone"
He can't. His Mexican mother did not become a U.S. citizen until several years after the little idiot was born....1986?
repeat after me: no more political dynasties
that means no Kennedys, Bushes, Cuomos or Clintoons
they are not all about "public service"
they simply don't think they can do anything as great in life for themselves, personally, as trading on the family name can get for them
I can't even believe he is still in the conversation for 2016.
"We want you to be successful"
The Bushes seem to like big companies and big government company. They are fascistoids. It's not fair for them to deregulate so others can compete. They talk free globalization on one side of their mouth, and then they restrict it here, attacking small businesses on basis that the big ones had to keep the expensive proprietary EPA compliances and what not, and it would not be fair if it was exempted for small businesses in the future.
His citizen dad would confer citizenship to him upon birth; plus I believe he was born in the US. With O, his mom was too young to confer cititizenship based on the archaic laws of the time, if he hadn't been born in the US
I agree. They probably want Jeb to be a Fait Accompli like W was in 2000.
Personally Im already supporting Rand Paul. He is probably the only one who is willing to make the budget cuts necessary to save this country
While the Purity Caucus keeps abandoning all the other candidates over trivial reasons.
That's how it keeps working. No conservative 3rd party would have the ability to get the stick out there rears long enough to get off the ground.
I could really get behind Rand Paul, but the Gold standard thing is a real deal-breaker to me.
I can fully understand someone not wanting to vote for another Bush...but Jeb was a pretty damn good governor. He had coattails that gave us the first Republican legislature in 100 years.
F'gettaboutit !
Just finished a little research on Goggle:
"she's (Columba Bush) a naturalized US citizen as of 1987."
Thank the gods none of their crazy children can run for president. She was not a U.S. Citizen when they were born.
I think you're half-right for 2016. I see Bush/Rubio as the ticket, provided the GOP powers-that-be get their way. I further predict that the GOP powers-that-be will tell the social conservatives to go pound sand; that they're no longer welcome in the party. Not officially, mind you, but in the best politese they can muster.
Oppsie....I mean Google. But Goggle is fine with me.
Having Jeb Bush as our 2016 nominee is akin to simply handing the election to the Dims with no contest. If the stupidlicans haven't figured out that the moniker "BUSH" spells doom for any future election, than they have even managed to outdo themselves as to the abysmal stupidity emanating from the now defunct GOP...
You got that right! They've got their heads up their collective arses and are not worth my time!
It's evident that the tea party victory in 2010 did little to alter the control by the establishment GOP...in fact it's only emboldened them, particularly on the House side.
Jeb Bush will run in the primaries against at least four or five conservatives. The conservatives will split the vote and Jeb will be the nominee. It's been that way for the last 25 years and will be again. If he is nominated we only have ourselves to blame.
I will not vote for Jeb period. No freaking way.
Just like they did for Dole after saying they would not. And GWB. And McCain. And Romney.
Empty threats & the GOP knows it.
Forget about his governorship. Any sane conservative doesn't want another Bush as a President let alone the nominee in 2016! I'm tired of hearing about how a decent guy he is, so was Dole and H.W. Bush and Romney and even McCain compared to Obama but they were either losers or wimped out to liberals
the fervent hope of the GOPe is YOU are stupid!
How exactly do we manage to do this? Primaries start back East, where they think RINOS are conservative and true conservatives are nut cases. That is why we keep getting RINO candidates, the choice is made for us before we even get to vote in the primary.
Let's not forget he's the son GHW and Barb thought would be president one day, not W.
I'm not a fan of dynastic politics but if he wants to run in the primary, I wouldn't discourage him. Odds are he would not earn my support.
Sure he would get favorable or neutral coverage, unless/until he is actually elected- then they will pile on him daily just as they did the last President Bush.
Bush the Elder squandered the Reagan legacy in one term.
George W. left the GOP a smoking ruin, only to be brought back by the Tea Party, not the GOP-e.
And the GOP-e wants a third episode?
And don't even get me started on the inherent problems to republican government that family dynasties have created. Name-brand politics has squelched too many potential new voices out there.
Excellent comment.
Thank you.
neutral = no core convictions
Tell us all the ways in which you agree with what Ubama did.
Actually, it's more likely they will push George H Bush.
He is handsome, articulate and speaks Spanish.
I said I can understand why someone wouldn't want to vote for another Bush.
But "forget about his governorship"? That is silly.
Romney was ripped by conservatives ON THE BASIS of his governorship....
So now we are called to IGNORE a guy's record? Please.
"That is why we keep getting RINO candidates, the choice is made for us before we even get to vote in the primary."
You are correct.
