Skip to comments.IRS: Cheapest Obamacare Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family
Posted on 02/01/2013 11:38:38 AM PST by SoFloFreeper
In a final regulation issued Wednesday, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) assumed that under Obamacare the cheapest health insurance plan available in 2016 for a family will cost $20,000 for the year.
Under Obamacare, Americans will be required to buy health insurance or pay a penalty to the IRS.
The IRS's assumption that the cheapest plan for a family will cost $20,000 per year is found in examples the IRS gives to help people understand how to calculate the penalty they will need to pay the government if they do not buy a mandated health plan.
(Excerpt) Read more at cnsnews.com ...
Pretty damn significant difference between the assclown's promise of "lower insurance" and the reality, isn't it?
I can hardly wait for this to be on the network news.
If true, this is obviously beyond the reach of millions of people.
After the outrage will be an easy sell to single payer system. Mission accomplished.
Thanks a lot Congress.
And Roberts
If these policies are going to cost that much, I can see millions saying blank this,and pay the penalty instead.
But if millions decide not to be insured, won't that defeat the promise of Obamacare, that everyone will have health insurance???
Also, little noted in last year's Supreme Court decision, was that states can opt out of the Medicaid expansion. There too, we could still see many millions uninsured. Add in the illegal aliens, whom Obama assured us were not to be covered by Obamacare, and you will still see tens of millions of uninsured clogging emergency rooms, with the rest of us holding the bag.
Instead of pushing Illegal Alien Amnesty, the GOP should be fighting ObamaCare.
Or, does the GOP plan to put all Illegal Aliens on ObamaCare?
Our family plan, typical 80/20. med, eyes, dental, script card, and 100 deduct costs 20,000. I bet (if this is true) the govt plan won't be nearly as good as any private plan. Remember when they were saying $999/person/year; ya right.
If anyone thinks people will be paying this much, stand on your head.
It's supposed to be this high so people can't pay it and they'll get the "free" version once the government can rescue the underclasses from the oppressive 0.01% of the "rich" that are hoarding all the healthcare.
That's the amount that a working family will pay so that the indolent democrat-voters will get theirs "free".
Do you think that finally the American voters will get their heads out of their a$$e$ and realize what a big mistake they made?
( I don't)
It will be subsidized heavily so the poor can afford it...
But hey, that's only the bottom of the barrel bronze plan...
Imagine what the platinum top plan costs...
Of course we will soon hear how those numbers are way off, and the IRS made an error, etc.
Wouldn't it have been much easier and cheaper to pass around the proverbial hat to just pay the insurance of these 10 million new patients? There will be riots...
I am of the opinion that we cannot afford the medical technology that has been developed. Sooner of later we are going to have to face up to that reality.
"I bet (if this is true) the govt plan wont be nearly as good as any private plan."
You are absolutely right. The IRS estimates of $20,000 a year were made for the BRONZE plan. This is the worst of the four plans that will be permissible under Obamacare. This plan pays about 60% of medical costs. One significant surgery that requires 4 days in the hospital will have most families considering bankruptcy under the BRONZE plan.
This will be the catalyst for several disruptions to the economy that will result in tremendous inflation over the next several years and an effort on the part of employers to reduce the number of employees covered by the law.
Wages will have to skyrocket in order for working people to pay the outrageous insurance premiums or the alternate fines.
Companies will have to increase prices to cover the cost of higher wages as well as the costs of their contributions.
And, at the same time, companies will seek every possible way to reduce employment, lessening their healthcare related costs. They will automate, downsize, sub-contract, move out of the USA, etc.
Thanks to Obama, within five years American prosperity will be a vague memory.
"It will be subsidized heavily so the poor can afford it.."
Can you say 'vouchers'? I knew you could....
Insurance isn't cheap.
per person it will probably be like 4 to 5 grand a year. that's not that much.
an MRI cost like 2-3 grand alone
ObamaCare's Broken Promises: Every one of the law's main claims turning out to be false.
It doesnt matter to leftists. INTENTIONS are all that matter, results do not.
it is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong. Thomas Sowell
Like anything else, far more people could afford it if the government did not distort the health insurance market.
I don't think the search works for 3-letter words, FWIW.
IRS: Cheapest 0hbamacare Plan Will Be $20,000 Per Family
Check out article, and comments # 1 through 16.
Some estimates place the cost of drug development between 800 million and 1.1 billion.
This is why I hate this 'health care is a right' nonsense. Suppose they come up with a treatment for, I dunno, diabetes. It's a miracle treatment, but it costs a billion dollars a patient. But, health care is a right, so someone HAS to pay for it, even if it bankrupts your economy. The absence of market forces will do these sorts of things.
"an MRI cost like 2-3 grand alone"
I had a simple MRI on my foot 6 mos ago. 3,000 bucks. BC/BS paid 400. I paid 250 co-pay. If I hadn't had insurance then they would have charged me 3,000. If I could get the same deal that the insurance co gets I wouldn't need insurance.
The only people get free obama care are obama phone ladies, everyone else gotta pay
The goal of Obamacare is to put private health insurance out of business, leaving government as the sole provider. Then they've got you by the balls.
If medical and hospital accountants ran the bus company, it would cost 10 Grand to cross town. At one point there were so many competing MRI units in my town, that they were doing no-prescription walk-ins for $300!
At the same time, in took 18 months to get one in Canada. There must be some sort of instructional value to this.
My wife had an MRI Tuesday that cost $4200.
Very interesting point you have there.
Yea, it's called capitalism. The old supply and demand thing.
$0.5 to $1.5 billion and 10 years on average, with the clock on the patent ticking the whole time. Out of every 10,000 compounds that enter the clinical testing phase 1-2 will make it to market.
Strangely though the Mexicans can afford the medicines that we can't afford here.
Maybe the problem is that healthcare is overpriced. An hour in a surgical room designed especially for Heart Cath can cost you $100,000.00.
If the demand is artificially stimulated by free medical care, or if the supply is artificially limited by regulation or collusion, the Law of Supply and Demand gets a bit warped in the process.
The co-pay of $250-300 is in many cases, the realistic value of the service! The physician-owned MRI units charge the insco $4500, or whatever they can get away with. In their defence, such as it is, when the Gonzalez brothers ... all 18 of them...get their MRIs for "free," the MRI company graciously waives the co-pay and probably only bills the funding agency a low, low $2800 each!
I claim that the medical accounting theory is all screwed up ... like oil depletion allowances... entertainment business practices ... municipal road contracts, etc. The main thing screwing it up is that millions receive medical services for free, while thousands pay for insurance and make co-payments. That's hardly "capitalism" in action.
Yea. I talked to my Dad about this very thing last night. He is a 50 year practicing pediatrician. Semi-retired now, you want to get him pissed start talking about regulations, medicaid, insurance etc. He doesn't even like to think about it. Says he pays office employees to handle that, he just can't deal with it. At the end of the day they'll be a stack of papers on his desk and he just signs.
His biggest thing is Doctors who won't take Medicaid. Probably 60% of his practice is medicaid. He needs to refer a patient many times he can't cause he can't find a specialist who will see them.
Growing up, kids in school thought we were "rich". Far from it. At one time he was the only pediatrician in 3 counties who took Medicaid. Every medicaid patient was a net loser money wise. When you factor in all the no pays then it was a balancing act just to pay the bills. It's not the kids fault. What's he supposed to do, tell a sick 6 yo he can't see them?

Classic neutral wedge
"These are a great casual shoe for those outfits that are difficult to match. They have classic styling so will be great for years to come. I usually wear between an 8.5 to 9 so ordered a 9, the length is good but they are a little tight in the toe box so will need to be stretched, but are worth the extra effort."

Adorable shoe - I need more pairs!
"I absolutely adore these wedges. I bought them for work and they're stylish, comfortable, and chic. I love that they manage to cover my "toe cracks." The material is beautiful and the shoe looks more expensive than it is. Might have to use my $10 off to get them in navy.. A must buy!"

bad heels
"Though I really like the shoes I am disappointed in the construction. The right heel came off about 2 weeks ago after minimal wear. I brought them to get repaired and they recommend i replace both because it looks like the other one will soon also come off. So $14+ later I hope they hold up."

Easy Spring Floral Ideas
Spring has sprung and you may be having people over soon, for any number of reasons. We wanted to give you some easy ways to spruce up your table cleverly and affordably.
Here are the Anchor Hocking floral products we used:
Bud Vases - Items #31268, #31257
12" Kendl Twisted Square Vase - Item #99147
Other Items Used:
Soho Barware
Reused Candle Jars
We went to the local grocer and purchased a potted hyacinth plant, which contained 3 bulbs that had bloomed ($7.00) and a bouquet of mixed spring stems ($7.00).
Project 1
Bouquets for Ladies Tea
Take time to relax and catch up with close friends this spring. Invite over your closest friends, your siblings, your in-laws, whoever – and make them feel right welcomed and cherished with a personalized bouquet.
We wanted these bouquets to be multi-purpose so we grabbed our 1 Liter Carafes to hold the stems.
We also found some ribbon (reused from a potpourri bag) to hold name tags on to the vases. The name tags were cut out of brown paper bags (which were free from the grocer's check-out).
To make the tags we first sketched out a tag shape (download a printable tag of your own here). We cut through both sides of the bag, giving us two tag shapes each. We did this so we could write little notes on the inside of the tag. Write their names on the outside and a cute note on the inside, hole punch and attach to the carafe.
Project 2
Rustic Charm
We chose a collection of 4 bud vases in various heights. We picked out three rather tall stems from the bouquet and one that was shorter and fuller.
For the fuller stem we needed to remove some of the lower leaves and growth, but saved them for another small project.
By using an earthy color palette and not following standard floral arrangement rules, we create an interesting, minimal and rustic look. This would look great next to a tub full of sodas in glass bottles or a buffet table of desserts.
Project 3
Big Charm in Small Places
If you have minimal counter space and you still want to add pops of nature to the display this idea is for you.
We have been saving used candle jars for just such an occasion. Remember those trimmings we saved from Project 2? Here's where they'll come in handy. Using short stems of filler and leaves and rocks, create small vignettes in miniature jars. These will look perfect among food displays or next to beverage stations. Inter-mix them with candles for a romantic effect.
Project 4
Lofty Sunnies
Sunflowers can make a big impact with their height. Don't worry though, if you don't have a tall vase to put them in. We chose 3 pieces of tall and skinny beverageware, our Soho Collection. You could also use our 4" or 6" Kendl Tapered Vases.
We used what is called "cullet" from our factory, but you can pick up a similar looking product in the floral section. You could also use tiny seed beads from the craft isle.
First, we filled the glasses/vases with the filler/cullet.
Then, we pushed the sunflower stems down into the material. This makes a snug fit around the flower and holds it upright.
Align them down the center of a table or on a shelf for a modern touch and new sense of visual height.
Project 5
Ditch the Plastic
We bought those hyacinths, remember? We decided we didn't like that pot they were in, and we weren't ready to plant them in the garden just yet. So, we temporarily transplanted them into pieces of beverageware that we've been collecting.
Maybe you have some collections of vintage glassware or some pieces that no longer have match. Use these pieces of glass to create an interesting display that kicks those hyacinths up a notch.
Display them while you have guests over and after the party you can plant them in the ground.
**Don't forget, that once the flowers turn brown, you can dig up that bulb, store it in a brown paper bag and replant next year.
Project 6
Housewarming Gift
Do you know someone who just settled into their new home?
Maybe a newlywed couple?
Instead of flowers, opt for kitchen gadgetry!
Whether they've registered for gifts or you know what they're in need of, use a collection of items to create a lovely display.
Vase too tall? Purchase some fabric napkins in their favorite color(s), roll them up and use as a base for you gadget bouquet.

|Babolat Origin String Scores
|String Movement
|Playability Duration
Babolat Origin resists easy classification. For starters, it is a monofilament, which is the construction most commonly associated with polyester. Unlike polyester, Origin is made from a "natural polyamide," which is a very pliable material similar in structure to nylon. This pliability helps explain why our playtesters were so impressed by the comfort. Even more impressive was the feel, which our team found to be wonderfully crisp and precise, as opposed to mushy or overly muted. We also found this string to be quite powerful, but with no reports of an unruly "trampoline effect" or unpredictable launch angle, two common afflictions of soft strings. Perhaps the most outstanding quality was the tension maintenance, which bordered on unbelievably good. With the exception of natural gut, Origin holds its playability longer than strings with comparable comfort and power. Ultimately, Origin's comfortably crisp feel, superior tension maintenance and impressive all around playability makes it one of the better soft strings we've hit in a while.
For our playtest team, the power level of Origin was comparable to that of a lively multifilament, like Tecnifibre X-One Biphase or Wilson NXT. According to Tiffani, though, it also had great control. She explained, "I wasn't quite sure what to expect. As a fan of multifilament strings, I didn't want to give up power or comfort -- the two factors that usually steer me toward multifilaments. With Origin, I didn't give up much, if any, power. Origin felt less elastic than a typical multifilament right from the stringer, but after the initial hit the string settled and offered plenty of power. I did find it to be on the more powerful side, but it wasn't at the sacrifice of control. I could feel the ball on the strings, so I could easily direct my shots where I wanted. I didn't feel precise, but I felt in control of my shots and game with Origin."
Andy also found an impressive level of control. He said, "This string offers a nice blend of power and control. It definitely has more pop than the polyester strings I'm used to, but I rarely felt like I couldn't control the ball. It had good feel, and whether I was trying to hit the ball deep to a corner or play a touch volley short, I felt like I could get the ball where I wanted it with confidence."
For Chris, the defining feature of Origin was power. He said, "I was able to get a lot of power on my shots when hitting with this string. Finding depth and pace took noticeably less effort, and I found better power than I do with Babolat Xcel. To up the level of control (and also to test the comfort to the extreme) I kept upping the tension. In the end I was at 68lbs in a Prestige Pro 600, and the string was still offering good power -- remarkable! That this string can still offer good power in a low powered midsize racquet with a dense 18x20 string pattern at a stupidly high tension was very impressive, to say the least. I would definitely recommend this to anyone seeking lots of power from the stringbed. For me, control got better as the tension went up on each stringing. I never got close to the control of my favorite polys, but that's not what this string is about. If you want a plush and soft feel with effortless power, it's right here."
Origin doesn't have the tight grip of a polyester, nor is it likely to be listed in the spin section of anyone's string inventory, but this didn't stop Andy from generating some decent spin. He said, "I was surprised by the level of spin I was able to get with Origin. It certainly possesses very good spin potential when compared to other softer strings, but not as much as a polyester. I was able to accelerate the racquet and get the ball to dive into the court at the last moment."
For Tiffani, who admittedly has flatter mechanics, the spin potential was middle of the road. She said, "Here's where I think the string was about average. Although I'm not a big spin player, I do use moderate topspin and like to throw in the slice now and then. I also love a good topspin lob. As expected, there wasn't the kind of spin I would see with a co-poly, but the spin production was adequate for my flatter game."
For Chris, a little extra concentration on mechanics was required to bring the ball down with spin. He said, "This string was far from the best at biting the ball for spin in a full setup. In a hybrid with a poly, it seemed to allow the poly to snap back decently and the level of spin remained solid. On its own, I had to focus on adding some additional brush to my strokes to get the spin I needed to hit aggressively and still control the depth of my shots. I get much more spin out of natural gut. Natural gut offers more bite (grip on the ball), whereas the ball felt like it was sliding off Origin and leaving my racquet with less rotation."
Origin received one of the highest comfort scores awarded by our playtest program. Chris was definitely impressed, saying, "The level of comfort from this string was simply exceptional. Even at the extremely high tensions I tried, the string remained very comfortable. Shanks never felt too jarring, and the level of comfort was very close to what I get from natural gut. No other synthetic strings come to mind as being this forgiving. The soft and plush feel also made Origin feel powerful when I hit outside the sweetspot."
Agreeing with Chris, Andy said, "This string was very comfortable! I had it in my already plush-feeling Pro Staff, and the combination made my arm and wrist very happy. Off-center shots were not jarring at all, and a ball hit inside the sweetspot had virtually no shock on the arm. This is a real strength of this string."
"As I mentioned earlier, a full bed of Origin feels firmer than my typical multifilaments right off the stringer," said Tiffani. "It wasn't jarring, just firm. That said, it really only took an hour or so before it really opened up and the comfort became one of the highlights. Origin manages to walk the line of offering comfort without sacrificing too much ball feel."
Origin provided our team with exceptional feel. Like natural gut, this string's considerable comfort was punctuated by a refreshing crispness, one that translated into better control. Tiffani explains, "One of the drawbacks I find with some multifilament strings is that comfort translates into a mushy feel. With Origin, I felt connected to my shots. The feel is clean and somewhat crisp, although not as crisp as the firmer material of a co-poly. Still, I liked the feel, and it helped me be in control of my shots."
Chris also appreciated the comfortably crisp response, saying, "The feel of this string was very soft and plush; however, it was not overly muted. Despite the deep ball pocketing and plush feel, the feel was also crisp and clean. In other words, I felt well connected to where the ball was going and I had a good sense of the quality of the contact I was making with the ball. When mixed in with a poly or co-poly string for a hybrid setup, Origin brought lots of added comfort to the stringbed."
For Andy, the soft and crisp response translated into decent control, but not enough to pry him away from his favorite co-poly. He said, "Origin seems to have the flexible feel of a multifilament, but it's also fairly crisp, almost like a softer co-poly. I was definitely in control of my shots, but I would've liked more of the firm feedback I get with my poly-based strings."
In addition to the crisp comfort and impressive power, Origin also gave our team truly outstanding tension maintenance. Even after months of being punished by Andy's powerful strokes, Origin's playability refused to quit. He said, "After four months - yeah, you read that right, FOUR MONTHS -- the string still played great. I've never seen a string other than natural gut hold its tension and playability this well. Truly exceptional!"
As someone who typically plays with soft multifilaments, Tiffani appreciated getting a little extra life out of this string. She said, "Here's where Origin outshone my typical multifilament choices. I've had the same set of Origin in my racquet for a solid month of hitting and I don't feel like the tension has changed noticeably. The performance is still there. There has been some notching and some string movement, but nothing excessive."
Chris also got a some good mileage out of Origin. He said, "The tension maintenance of this string was seriously good. It felt like it held tension like natural gut, and I was very, very impressed with the consistent feel throughout the test. Origin is a great option for those who don't break strings. They will enjoy a consistent feel for a long time with this string. For me, the lasting feel was somewhat of a saving grace considering the significant cost of entry."
Andy - "This is a great option for the player looking for tons of comfort without having to sacrifice too much control. The durability is excellent, so it's also good for someone who wants the power and comfort of a multi but breaks strings often. Lastly, this is ideal for someone who doesn't get their racquet restrung very often, because the tension maintenance is truly incredible. "
Tiffani - "Players who like the power and comfort of multifilaments but want something that holds tension better will like Origin. Players who are seeking something that attempts to mimic natural gut, at a slightly lower cost, might want to give this one a try as well."
Chris - "Anyone seeking an alternative to natural gut should try this string. It offers similar power and comfort, but perhaps not quite the same level of bite. It is also a great option to improve the comfort or your favorite poly when hybridized. Players using a stiff game improvement type of racquet could also increase the comfort of their racquet with this string. Since it feels so forgiving on mishits, it makes a great choice for improving players."
Andy - "I loved the playability duration and tension maintenance. It also possessed a nice blend of power, control and spin for a softer string. Excellent comfort as well."
Tiffani - "I like the tension maintenance, feel, comfort and power."
Chris - "I loved the comfort this string offered. The tension maintenance was also seriously impressive, and the power felt great when I was looking to add pace to my serves."
Andy - "It doesn't quite have the responsiveness of strings with comparable comfort and power, and I didn't feel as connected to the ball as I would've liked."
Tiffani - "There isn't much performance-wise. This is easier on the wallet than natural gut, but it's still not cheap."
Chris - "I didn't get much spin with this string, and it is very expensive."
Andy - "Origin is a pretty unique string! It holds its tension and is super comfortable like natural gut, but it doesn't quite have the power or feel. Wilson Optimus performs similarly, in that I still felt comfortable taking big swings at the ball without fear of it sailing long."
Tiffani - "My favorite multifilament has been Tecnifibre X-One Biphase for quite some time. This has a lot of the same qualities, with a good balance of power and control along with good ball feel. Where Origin really trumps Biphase is tension maintenance."
Chris - "This string plays softer than just about all of the multifilaments I've used, such as Babolat Xcel, Tecnifibre NRG2 and Wilson NXT-- especially at high tensions. In that regard it has a lot of the features of natural gut, but it lacks some of the bite. Still, Origin was a very impressive string that also worked very well in a hybrid."

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Two public hearings were held at the Nov. 16 Emery County board of commissioners meeting. The first hearing was to gather public input on the collection of the transient room tax by the county. The state tax commission is currently collecting the tax, by the county collecting the tax it will save the 1.5 percent collection fee from the state. Commissioner Ira Hatch said no written comments had been received concerning the tax collection.
The tax can be collected on a monthly or quarterly basis and the county is opting to collect it quarterly. The new collection policy will become effective on Jan. 1, 2005 and the first collection will be for the first quarter ending March 31, 2005. The county has requested a vendor list from the state and also from the Utah Association of Counties, with the addresses of all the businesses from whom the taxes will be collected.
The county feels it will be less expensive to collect their own tax and also they will not have to hire any additional people to take care of the collection. The commission thinks it will be more personable to collect the fees themselves as well. If a vendor's account should be in arrears then the county representative can meet with them to work out the tax collection and stay on top of things before it becomes a problem. The TRT is assessed for a room rented and is a 3 percent tax. The city of Green River also collects a 1 percent tax for all rooms rented in Green River.
One audience member wondered if there are any safeguards in the system in regards to knowing the number of rooms rented each night and expected taxes. Commissioner Hatch said there isn't a process although they could check a vendor's records against the money sent to the county and check for any discrepancies that way. Grand County has been collecting their own TRT for years and it was reported that it has worked out well for them.
Green River Mayor Glen Dale Johnson said he doesn't think the county will save much money by collecting it themselves, but he likes the idea of being in personal contact with the vendors.
The public hearing was closed and the commission voted in favor of the county collecting their own TRT taxes.
The next public hearing was about the increase in county building permit fees to the 1997 uniform building code fees. Alan Thorpe explained the reasons behind the need for an increase in fees. Most public comment taken centered around why the steep increases were needed. The resolution to increase the building fees in the county was approved.
In other business, the commission approved the cooperative agreement between the county and the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, Carbon County and the forest service for fire control. The county portion of the agreement is $4,800 per year.
County Treasurer, Steve Barton presented some properties for which the county needs to release the lien as all property taxes are paid in full. The list was approved by the commission. The commission also wrote off taxes owed by Sunrise Airlines to the county. The company went bankrupt while still owing $61,000 in taxes. County Attorney Dave Blackwell said there wasn't any hope of ever seeing the money and clearing it off the books is the best option.
Economic Development Director, Mike McCandless discussed the enterprise and industrial zones designation for the county. This designation allows companies income tax credits for the number of employees they employ and also offers other incentives to recruit new business and to help existing businesses to expand. The legislature has approved $150,000-$200,000 for this purpose. McCandless encourages local businesses to contact him to see how they might benefit from this designation.
The commission approved some tax adjustments for county residents who found mistakes on their tax bills due to changes in the land status or buildings upon the land.
A business license was approved for Paul Simmons of Lawrence for the business Extreme Automotive which specializes in parts and accessories for vehicles.
The commission approved the sheriff's office to purchase a new vehicle with grant money from Community Motors in Price.
The commission accepted a letter of resignation from Huntington Airport Manager, Rob Midgely. They will begin advertising for the position immediately. The commission also accepted a resolution to amend the personnel policy. A disclaimer will be placed at the front of the policy stating that the policy doesn't constitute a contract. The personnel policy will also be expanded to include more information on conduct as it pertains to sexual harassment and the steps to take to report it.
The road department is in need of a 3/4 time person and the OK to advertise to fill this position was given by the commission.
Commissioner Hatch reported that the bids were opened on the fuel system at the road department and the work is being completed. Hatch also attended a preconstruction meeting on the airport project. The paving and grading have been put on hold until better weather. The open house for the forest service was well attended and the forest service is taking comments on the forest management plan revision which came out in October. Comments will be taken until Dec. 21.
Hatch reported that they had attended the meetings in St. George for UAC and they were very informative. He thanked Dixie Swasey and Kris Bell for putting together the gift from the county for the raffle at the convention. Each county brings a gift. The Emery County gift included a planter basket and donations from various businesses in the county. Also a two night stay at the San Rafael Bed and Breakfast in Castle Dale, two rounds of golf at Millsite, two pro rodeo tickets and two lamb fry tickets; the winner of the gift was Lamont Smith and he will also be treated to a one night stay in Green River and golfing at the Green River golf course.
Commissioner Gary Kofford reported on some work that was recently completed at the public safety complex where asphalt and curb and gutter work was done. Landscaping work there will take place next spring. Kofford also attended a homeland security meeting in Salt Lake which was very informative. Reports were given on how the hurricanes were dealt with in Florida and also security at the Olympics. A recent homeland security grant enabled the sheriff's office to purchase a motorhome for a command center and it is currently being fitted with radios and other equipment needed for onsite search and rescue operations.
Commissioner Drew Sitterud reported that the rural summit will be held in Price next May and Senator Bennett's staff was recently in the county to ask for help in selecting topics for discussion at the breakout sessions. The boat ramp at Joe's Valley is completed and will make a good tubing hill after it snows and the lake freezes over reported Sitterud. The asphalt for the parking area will be done when the weather permits next spring.
Sitterud reported that the RAC subgroup met at the Wedge to discuss plans the BLM has for the area. The BLM has received a grant to protect the cactus onsite there. They propose to eliminate all dispersed camping close to the rim and other recommendations. Sitterud said they are battling on the dispersed camping there at the Wedge. More information will be made available as the project progresses.
Sitterud said the meth grant for $200,000 should be coming in soon. Sitterud also attended his first meeting as a member of the BLM RAC and said it was interesting. The next commission meeting is on Dec. 7 at 4 p.m.

Fun winter boot!
"I wore these all winter long with skinny jeans and got a lot of compliments on them. I love the fur in the front, but sweater in the back so it's not all around shaggy. They keep my MN winter feet toasty warm. Runs short, buy a size up."

Hi everyone, yet another question for me. How do you handle taking your toddlers for shots/taking blood? My DS gets absolutely hysterical and I have to physically restrain his arms and legs to let the doctor give him shots. It is heartbreaking for both of us and I hate imposing my force and will on him when I avoid that at all costs in all of our other interactions. No amount of singing during or role-playing beforehand helps the situation. He now hates our doctor so much that he gets hysterical even when she tries to listen to his chest with a stethoscope. Any tips on how to handle this situation in a loving way? Thank you.

I think this is a tough issue for a lot of parents! Here are some responses from the Facebook page:
Comment 1:
I could really use some advice on this too. Our son does the same thing.
Comment 2:
Ditto. Always a sucky situation.
Comment 3:
The best I've been able to do is begin by nursing my 8-month-old, and then nurse afterward. I spend a lot of time alone in the room with her after as well. I don't know what to do beyond this, or for older children!
Comment 4:
I nurse mine while they get a needle poke. The oldest never cried and the youngest always does. Some kids are just more sensitive.
Comment 5:
We can't decide what is worse, the anticipation of a stick (telling her 1st, before the appt) or waiting il we get there. Both seem so traumatic! She remembers even finger pricks and talks about them for months afterwards (at age 4). When she was younger nursing before, during, after, whenever was the solution. Lollipops ans stickers ease the pain a little now.
Comment 6:
been through many a time having four adults holding down my daughter. she grew out of that and can take a shot or getting blood takin so much better now that she is 12.
Comment 7:
My little guy will start crying and clinging to me at the sight of one of the nurses at his peditrician's office... I discovered that a small cup of water to sip on calms him down--- I just snatch one of the little dixie cups in the room and put about 1/2 inch of water in it and help him take tiny sips.
Comment 8:
I have seen a nurse use a pinwheel during a blood draw that worked fantastic on another 4yr old. She brought out this bright sparkly pinwheel and requested that he blow and get it spinning as fast as he could! While that was going on, the other M.A. drew blood and he barely felt a thing. She held the pinwheel facing the opposite direction of the M.A. and helped him focus on blowing while the blood draw took place. Seemed to work great from what I saw Hope this can help!
Comment 9:
i always nursed my daughter right after or during the shots, it helps a lot. at a year though we decided against vaccinating and will not be vaccinating our new baby when he/she gets here. we will however be getting evelyns blood drawn for a lead test soon, i'm hoping it goes well...she has watched me get my blood drawn and i explained it while it was happening, told her that it hurt a little tiny bit but that i was okay. hoping that it helps!
Comment 10:
My now 2 1/2 old son had an ER visit about a year ago for dehydration and fever. At the time I was really worried about him because his temp was over 105. Going to the ER traumatized him so much that I have not even been able to get him close to a doctors office since, even when the appointment is for me. I am physically not strong enough to hold onto him. In hindsight, I wish i would have given it more time. Being a nurse myself (and an old ER nurse) I should have known better. He was still taking fluids. I think the medical community needs to take this traumatization more seriously and be more sensitive to our kids in the office, hospital, ER, and not expose them unnecessarily to medical procedures. Now I don't even know if I will be able to take him for his well visits.
I've struggled with this as well for vaccinations. I've found that talking about it beforehand makes it much worse because he anticipates it for days. Sugar is supposed to help a bit with the pain so try bringing a lollipop for your child to suck on during the shot or blood draw. I don't know if your family uses any media, but I've found that having a new game on my iphone for my DS to play during the shot helps with keeping him distracted. You could also bring a little cup of ice and use the ice to numb the area a little beforehand. Some nurses will give a small injection before a blood draw to deaden the pain. This may be worse as it's two sticks, but maybe not. I think you can use a bit of anbesol teething gel to help deaden the pain as well.
When doing the role playing it can be helpful to let your child be the one with the power (giving the shot) while you howl dramatically (but silly enough that your child knows it's all a game). If this is a little too close to the real life you can come up with other games that give the power to your child. Pretend that you are terrified to go into your bedroom because you are afraid of pillows, so you need his help. The sillier you make it, the funnier and less intimidating it will be for your little one.
If there is anytime you need bloodwork or a shot, try to arrange it so your DS can go and see you getting the shot/blood draw. Try telling him stories about when you were his age and you were scared to get shots. Talk about some of his friends and how they also get shots sometimes (if that's true). I think it helps little ones to know that they aren't alone in this. At the appointment you can talk about what you are going to do after the appointment. Of course it helps to have something to look forward to like going out for ice cream or meeting friends at the park. I wouldn't use the ice cream as a bribe, just as a bright point to look forward to.
He may like reading books about what happens when you go to the doctor. My librarian was able to find a bunch of books to help us through this.
See if it would be okay for you to go for "happy visits" now and then. Just go and sit in the waiting room and read books. If your doctor and/or staff has the time, go back to an exam room and read books there for a bit.
Even with all of this, it may come down to having to restrain him. If this happens, keep telling him that you understand how upset/scared he is and reassure him that you love him. Talk to him before and after about why the shots or blood work are needed.Last edited by KnittingMama; 01-19-2011, 01:51 PM.

I was raised in Orangeville, the son of LaVar and Donna Sitterud. I live in Ferron with my wife Julie who is the secretary at San Rafael Junior High School. We are the parents of two boys, their wives and the grandparents of three grandchildren. My family is my greatest accomplishment. We have a good life here and care deeply about the future and quality of life in Emery County.
Most of my education has come from the college of "hard knocks". I owned and operated my own business for 22 years. I learned it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and determination to survive the ups and downs that are simply part of business life. However, the rewards of working with and getting to know the people in the community through serving them and sharing their friendships made it all worthwhile and has also prepared me for the work of a commissioner.
For the past eight years I have been your county commissioner. This opportunity has been a great learning experience for me. My vision for Emery County continues to broaden. Because of my training, knowledge, and position I now hold and the coalition of local, state, and federal leaders I know and work with, there are many more opportunities for me to serve more effectively as your county commissioner. My desire to continue to improve our way of life in Emery County has grown even deeper and become my personal passion.
I have had the opportunity of serving on the Community Impact Board for the past three years. During this time I have been able to help each community and the county receive grants and zero interest loans. Some of these projects are new fire stations, city halls, sidewalks, city equipment, street lights, improvements to parks and rodeo grounds, new horse arena, new recreation centers, the next nine holes and improvements at Millsite Golf Course, new senior citizen centers, water and sewer projects, fire trucks, ambulances and the new pool complex There are many other projects that will be coming before the board. Because of my position on this board our county has had more opportunities to acquire money for these improvements. I can serve on this board for several more years giving Emery County many more opportunities for improvements to our county. If I am not reelected, this position will go to Grand or San Juan County and Emery County will not have the opportunity to have someone sit on the board in this position for many years.
Concerns I have are Wild and Scenic Rivers, RS-2477, economic development, the support of all local businesses and continue to promote new business with employment opportunities. I will fight any increase in taxes and shifting centrally assessed taxes from the large industries to homeowners and local businesses. I will fight to never have to borrow monies to run the county. Living within our own means is very important to me.
Being your county commissioner full time i am easily accessible. I would enjoy the opportunity of visiting with you and hearing your concerns, ideas, and questions. Your ideas and input are important to me. My door is always open. If I have hurt anyone in anyway I sincerely apologize and ask for your forgiveness. With your support and working together we can "Get the work done" for Emery County.

Comments: great bait. has hollow cavity all the way to the tail so u can put tube jig head in there and fish it like a tube. Attractant is ok in my opinion, still better than other baits that just smell like plastic. good price. if you don't fish it like tube, there's plenty of room for rattles. 4.5/5 stars
From: Joe: USA 11/25/14
Comments: I love these craws. I match them up with Don Iovino Hand Tied Starburst finesse jigs. The claws give just enough wiggle on the fall. I boated 2 6lbers and a number of large fish just yesterday on them. So don't think they are just a little fish bait. Great for throwing in high pressure fishing areas.
From: Kevin: Austin, TX 3/26/14
Comments: Had a bag of the Crawdad color around for ages, then last year decided to give them a shot. Got tons of hits and some pretty good largemouth on the 2.5" ones. Only complaint is some pickerel wanted in on the action and shredded most of them with their teeth so I need more. Will definitely experiment more with rigging them this year. A definite buy.
From: Robert: MA 3/12/14
Comments: Great bait, used it for years rigged Texas style, 1/8 oz tungsten slip sinker w/ glass bead, big Largemouth love it. Go to a 1/16 oz slip sinker when fishing rocks on Susquehanna for great Smallmouth action.
From: Mark: Middle River, MD
Comments: great bait ,I used 2.5" size on susquehenna river in shallow ultra clear water and smallmouth just crushed it . insert 1/16 jighead and jig it along the bottom ,they will absolutely smash it.
From: Radek: NY
Comments: I slay the small mouth with these. One of the rivers I fish is very shallow and crystal clear so the bass get a really really good look at this bait before they take it. I use the crawdad color on a similar colored football or stand up style jig and work it across the bottom and they can't resist. This is my go to bait all the time for small mouth in shallow clear rivers if I'm not power fishing or if I see a good spot I really want to pick apart.
From: Cameron: VA
Comments: I destroy 5+ lb bass with this plastic in the 3.25 size. When its hot and slow, high sun, put a tube head in it and head out to the depths where the weed edge breaks (12 to 15 feet). Keep it on the bottom (if it makes it there) and move it slowly with long pauses. Keep it within 10 or so feet from the weed edge if it is clearly defined. My brother puts a z hook in it and does really well shallow around lillys.
From: SkoobaSteve: MI
Comments: i have had amazing luck for everything from smallmouth bass, muskies, northern pike, largemouth bass, and not to menchen more then a few walleyes by riging them with just a wide gap worm hook and just letting the ccraw slowly float down along logs and standing timber. these are always my go to bait
From: Cody: Dayton: IA
Comments: great bait if your fishing shallow put a bobber on to keep it out of the rocks you can catch smallmouth all day
From: Jayden: IA
Comments: best bait for smallmouth
Comments: I've used these baits on a chompers stand-up jig and they really work great, and that's a fact! Get some now;you won't regret it!
From: Glenn: Indy, IN
Comments: terrible bait. i used this for about an hour and caught nothin then i switched to a 4 inch stick bait and caught a 4 lb smallmouth a few casts later do not get
From: Matt: IL
Comments: awesome bait. I rigged it with 1/8 ounce tube jig head and works awesome. cast it a mile and let it sit and slowly reel to make it crawl and every once in a while lift it up to make it look like it is trying to get away. I love this bait because of the realistic movement and versatility. I have caught some big 5lbs bass and the bait is still fully intact. BUY THIS BAIT!
From: Austin: Monroe, MI
Comments: super realistic bait, great for clear h2o fishing. when the water is stained you can shove a rattle in the hollow cavity
From: John: Smallie Haven, NH
Comments: Decent smallie bait, works well when you troll slowly or drag it slowly on the bottom.
From: Bradley: Montreal, Canada
Comments: Smallmouth crack in the shape of a crawdad.

By Robbie Ward/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Ward 3 Tupelo City Council candidates Liz Dawson and Jim Newell just can't agree on the definition of "negative."
She says he's so negative.
He says he's conservative and responsible.
"If that's the way she defines negative, then I guess I am," said Newell.
"You can be responsible and conservative without being totally negative against everything," Dawson said.
Heading into the May 7 Republican primary race, each of the candidates feels positive that voters should cast ballots for him and her. With no Democratic opposition in the general election, the primary winner will be elected to a four-year term.
The city ward stretches from the central part of Tupelo near Crosstown and includes neighborhoods in the historic downtown, Gravlee and Mill Village, along with Lee Acres and Audubon. The ward also includes the commercial and medical areas along South Gloster and Green streets and extends south to the recently annexed Summit subdivision near Verona.
Dawson, 54, community health director at North Mississippi Medical Center, said she'll bring a different tone to the position than the incumbent. Newell, 59, director of respiratory care and American government instructor at Itawamba Community College, says Dawson might not call him negative if she had his insights into the issues.
Newell doesn't dispute that he voted against the Fiscal Year 2011 city budget, opposed building a new aquatic center that could cost up to $12 million in east Tupelo and continues to vote against parts of the city's $2 million redevelopment plan for blighted property along West Jackson Street.
However, Newell said he didn't vote against those efforts as a contrarian or to be negative. He said he opposed the projects and budgets since they tapped into the city's reserve fund or required long-term spending through bonds.
"I may not be so sure if she knows the real issues," Newell said. "I have consistently voted against using rainy day reserve funds in a difficult economy."
Like the majority of the current City Council members, Dawson said she supports those projects. With a campaign theme of "Your positive new voice," Dawson hopes to tap into aggravation within Ward 3 related to Newell's "negativity."
"I think he's viewed many times over as being consistently negative," she said. "I want everything to have a positive approach."
Newell counters by saying accusations against them that he's "negative" are, in fact, negative.
"It looks like she's attacking me personally," Newell said.
He even says his slogan, "To make Tupelo better," is more positive than that of his opponent. "I'm not pointing a finger at anybody," he said.
As for why he deserves another term in office, Newell say his knowledge of government and experience practicing it gives him a leg up on Dawson.
While supporting stabilization of aging neighborhoods, Newell's preferred method is through increased code enforcement. Newell also says he supports continued efforts to secure funds for South Gloster Street for beautification projects and wants to help the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society secure private and public funding for a new shelter.
Dawson said her priorities include making Tupelo the first choice for people looking to live in the area, along with encouraging healthier lifestyles and fostering a spirit of continual improvement. She's served as co-chair and current chair of the Mayor's Healthy City Task Force.
Even after the election, Newell and Dawson may have plenty of opportunities to discuss what's best for their ward and the city. They live a few houses down from each other on opposite sides of Audubon Drive.
"I can see his house and he can see mine," Dawson said.
Ward 3 Q&A
1. What relevant experience and personal qualifications would you bring to the Tupelo City Council?
I bring a background rich in servant leadership and continuous improvement experience. I can provide positive leadership to Ward 3 and Tupelo to use our strengths as a foundation to improve the things we do well and prioritize our opportunities for improvement to address the most pressing needs.
I have represented the citizens of Ward 3 on the Tupelo City Council for the past four years. I have been a scholar of public policy and administration for the past 20 years, teaching American, state and municipal government, with strong proven understanding of political systems. I have directed one of ICC's major health care programs for the past 28 years. I have served the college in many leadership positions, committees, and task forces, which have provided leadership, organizational and effective communication skills. I believe that my experience and background can best serve the citizens of Ward 3.
2. Name the top three goals/projects that you will pursue if elected.
1. Make Tupelo an attractive residential choice by improving schools, infrastructure and amenities of our city.
2. Enhance Ward 3 and the city to foster local civic pride and encourage healthier lifestyles.
3. Foster a relentless spirit of continuous improvement in the city of Tupelo.
1. I want to continue the renewal that is occurring in the South Gloster district. Over the past four years, we have seen significant growth in infrastructure. My goal would be to secure funds to improve beautification, which would help attract more growth.
2. To fund a full-time code enforcement officer for the neighborhoods of Ward 3. Many of our neighborhoods are aging. I want to continue to help stabilize these neighborhoods through stronger and more visible code enforcement.
3. To assist with funding (private/public) with the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society to build a new animal shelter.
3. The 2010 Census showed stalled population growth and median income in Tupelo compared to northern suburbs. How should city government help retain and recruit middle-class residents?
By working to improve each neighborhood in the city through diligently monitoring the housing category ratios in the city, improving the opportunities for early childhood development to elevate our children's performance in school and working diligently to improve existing infrastructure.
I believe that most median income family's major concerns are our public schools and affordable mid-size housing. I believe that the school system issue has been addressed. We have begun to see great improvements under Dr. Loden's leadership. Secondly, builders tell us that due to the excessive building codes in the city, that they can't make a profit when building homes in the 1,800-2,000-square-foot range. We need to work with the builders, to find a solution, in order to be able to recruit and build more affordable median income family housing.
4. Tupelo has begun taxpayer-funded neighborhood redevelopment initiatives. Do you support continued action and expansion of these projects?
We have to be neighbors helping neighbors and neighborhood redevelopment initiatives that improve the quality of life for our citizens should be a significant part of the strategic plan that will move Tupelo forward.
I am opposed to using reserved "rainy day" funds to purchase dilapidated properties in this uncertain economy. The city can't afford to purchase all of the substandard housing that would be required to redevelop many of our neighborhoods. I recently voted against spending over 2 million dollars from reserve funds for the Jackson Street project. We need to be promoting private investment incentives and attempting to find urban renewal grants to assist with these projects. I strongly support improving neighborhoods; however, I am opposed to using city reserve funds to accomplish this goal.

Poor Quality or Defect?
"Well, these shoes were pretty cute, and fit true to size. They were slightly tight on the toe, but not uncomfortable. My real complaint with these shoes it that the pair I got were either defective, or of extremely poor quality, because the heel strap on one shoe fit perfectly, but the other was nearly 2 inches longer, gaping behind my heel and easily slipping off without unbuckling."

From stems grow beautiful blossoms, and Littleton Public Schools will continue to nurture theirs during the 2013-2014 school year, which starts Aug. 19.
In this case, the stems are STEM, the buzz acronym for science, technology, engineering and math. These, say educators, are the bases for the jobs of the future.
"We've been focusing on it for a very long time," said Diane Leiker, LPS director of communications. "We think STEM is important enough that we focus it on every school."
The students seem excited about it, as well. So much so that the first free Engineering Exploration Workshop, open to all LPS high-schoolers, is full — even though it's on a Saturday morning. Not to worry, there are eight more scheduled through November.
Instructors for the workshop come from local offices of companies like Lockheed Martin, Boeing, the University of Colorado, Raytheon and United Launch Alliance.
"We have a lot of parents and community members who have worked in engineering fields during the course of their career and have chosen to live in this area," said Leiker. "Maybe not every school district has the opportunity to offer this, but we do because of our community. We just have some natural ties."
Also new this year, though not until second semester, is an introduction to computer science class. It's taught at Littleton High School but open to any LPS high-schooler. The district has never offered a programming class before, and administrators hope to launch it into an entire sequence leading to AP computer science.
To keep the momentum going, the LPS Foundation recently earned a $500,000 matching grant to create and enhance even more STEM projects.
"We are very excited about this incredible opportunity to partner with LPS to help further advance the STEM focus in our schools," said Mary McGlone, LPSF president, in a statement. "Our goal is to turn this gift into $1 million. We will be asking the community, 'Where else can you get such a great return on your investment?'"
Last year, district schools took home a bevy of awards from both the state and national technology competitions, and Littleton High School was the state champion for the 11th time.
"Today's students will create tomorrow's careers and the technology that drives them," reads the LPS Back to School Guide.

Decent Boot, but a bit clunky
"This rainboot is a good deal, but I'd prefer something a bit more form-fitting. The top is too wide, and the selection really should include half-sizes for growing girls -- my daughter will have to wear thick socks or an in-sole until she grows into these."

Conflicted Gatekeepers: The Volcker Rule and Goldman Sachs
Andrew F. Tuch
Washington University in Saint Louis - School of Law
April 13, 2011
Virginia Law & Business Review, Vol. 7, No. 2, pp. 365-420, 2012
Washington University in St. Louis Legal Studies Research Paper No. 12-12-1
Harvard John M. Olin Center for Law, Economics, and Business Fellows' Discussion Paper No. 37
In many areas of regulation, rules require one person to act with loyalty to another person, or at least constrain one person's pursuit of self-interest by restricting the extent to which that person may act in conflict with the interests of another person. These rules are typically justified on the basis of reducing (economic) agency costs. However, recently-adopted provisions in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which include the so-called Volcker Rule, impose such conflict of interest rules on underwriters selling securities to investors, including sophisticated investors - a context in which agency costs do not arise. This article draws on the extensive literature on gatekeeper liability theory to develop a justification for imposing conflict of interest rules in these arm's length relationships between underwriters and investors. The article argues that conflict of interest rules provide incentives to underwriters (as gatekeepers) to take greater precautions to deter disclosure errors by their clients, the issuers of the securities sold by underwriters, than underwriters would take otherwise and that these rules thus supplement, or serve as an alternative to, rules of gatekeeper liability. The article assesses whether this justification applies to the Volcker Rule.
The article also uses as a case study a deal involving alleged conflicts of interest by Goldman Sachs in marketing the ABACUS 2007-AC1 collateralized debt obligation. That deal became the subject of highly publicized enforcement action by the SEC in 2010 and provided significant impetus in the adoption of the Volcker Rule. The article shows how the justification developed in this article for imposing conflict of interest rules informs our understanding of the propriety of Goldman Sachs' conduct in the ABACUS deal and assists in applying and interpreting the Volcker Rule.
