Newberry Notes continues the discussion about emergency preparedness with Beth Bozard, county heath supervisor for DHEC Region 3, Newberry County Health Department and Roger Hovis, director of public health preparedness for DHEC Region 3, Blythewood.
• What about pets during and emergency situation?
In the event of a disaster you may be required to shelter-in-place or evacuate. During this period don't forget to plan for your furry family members as they will rely on you for food, water, and shelter. Have a minimum of a seven day supply of food and water for your pet. If you need to evacuate make arrangements to kennel or take your pet with you. Locate pet-friendly establishments that are along your evacuation route. Keep in mind that your usual kennel may be within the evacuation zone, so you may need an alternate place that is further from home. Newberry County does have a sheltering plan for animals, but having a friend or family member who will take your pets and care for them if you are displaced, would be a better option.
• What should you do if you need to evacuate your home?
In the event of a disaster you may be required to evacuate. Prepare now so you and your family are ready. There are many types of events for which evacuations may occur such as fires, floods, hurricanes and other disasters. No matter the length of time needed to evacuate, having an evacuation plan in place will help you and your family to evacuate with as little stress as possible. Be sure to take your emergency kit that you have prepared in advance when you evacuate. Be sure to know which route you will take with at least one alternate route. It is important to follow local official's instructions if the route is specified in a mandatory evacuation. If you are required to leave your home and need a place to go, a shelter may be available. In Newberry County, the Newberry High School gymnasium has been designated as the American Red Cross Shelter. Should the high school be inaccessible or unusable for some reason, you would be instructed of an alternate shelter site.
In addition, in South Carolina DHEC operates Special Medical Needs Shelters (SMNS). All people seeking shelter should report to the American Red Cross shelter where they will be screened and those who meet the criteria for admittance to the Special Medical Needs Shelter are directed to that shelter. Special Medical Needs Shelters can take a very limited number of occupants and are intended for those who are not so ill that they would be admitted to the hospital, but with conditions or problems that make the regular shelter inadequate or inappropriate (for example, someone on home IV medication or on oxygen continuously). One caregiver needs to accompany each patient in the SMNS and the patient should bring all their own medicine and supplies with them. Direct nursing care is not provided in the SMNS. The SMNS is not a comfortable place for those with some physical limitations. The SMNS is housed in one large room and each patient is assigned a cot. In Newberry County, the SMNS is housed at NCMH and can take 5 patients and one caregiver for each patient.
• What does shelter in place mean?
If there is an emergency, you might need to stay inside your home for a few hours or a few days. This would happen in incidents such as a nuclear accident or a train derailment causing a toxic chemical spill (remember Graniteville). This is known as "sheltering-in-place." You will not be able to leave to go to the store, out to a restaurant, church or other destination. Sheltering in place typically means staying in your home or workplace, but it could also require you to take shelter in the nearest building. It may be necessary to limit your contact with outside air that may be contaminated with harmful agents or chemicals. The best place to shelter is inside a small, interior room with few or no windows. Sheltering-in-place is intended to keep you safe for a short time until it is either safe to go outside or you are taken somewhere else by rescue workers. Listen to local news and safety officials for instructions.
If you are told to shelter-in-place, you could be instructed to:
• Take your children and pets indoors right away. Do not attempt to get children from school, they will be sheltered.
• Cover your mouth and nose with your sleeve or a cloth until you can get inside.
• Close all windows and doors in your home.
• If instructed to do so, tape plastic garbage bags or plastic sheeting over windows.
• Tape around windows and doors to make an unbroken seal. Use duct tape to cover any exhaust fans, vents, electrical outlets or other openings.
• Turn off heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems until you are instructed that it is safe to resume their use.
• Close your fireplace and any other place air can come in from outside.
• Go to the room that you've picked ahead of time as your shelter room.
• Take your disaster supplies kit with you.
• Close window shades, blinds, or curtains if you're told there might be an explosion. Stay away from windows.
• Stay in the room and listen to your radio or watch your local news until you are told it is safe to come out or if you have to evacuate.
• Take special precautions when using water from the tap. Listen for instructions to determine if water is safe to drink and if it is safe to use the toilet and other facilities.
• Follow the instructions of emergency workers to find the nearest shelter if you are away from your home during the emergency.
• Listen to local radio and TV stations to receive specific instructions.
• More information can be found at the CDC, American Red Cross and FEMA websites.
Bozard provides the following answers:
• What about other types of public health emergencies, such as a disease outbreak?
In the event of a public health emergency, such as an outbreak of contagious disease such as smallpox or plague or terrorist attack or earthquake, The Centers for Disease Control maintains the Strategic National Stockpile (SNS). This is large quantities of medicine and medical supplies to protect the American public if there is a public health emergency severe enough to cause local supplies to run out. Once Federal and local authorities agree that the SNS is needed, medicines and medical supplies will be delivered to any state in the U.S. in time for them to be effective. Each state has plans to receive and distribute SNS medicine and medical supplies to local communities as quickly as possible.
In such an event, we would use the gymnasium at Newberry High School as our point of dispensing and the public would be advised to go to Newberry High School to receive their medication or vaccine.
It is very important to plan ahead. Hopefully you will never need to execute your disaster plan, but if an emergency situation does arise, having a plan could save your life.
If you would like more information, DHEC, CDC, American Red Cross and Fema are excellent resources. We also have some pamphlets at the Newberry Health Department and would be glad to answer any questions our readers may have.

Okay, so it's not "Hungry Like The Wolf," it's Steve Aoki's "The New York Werewolf Mix," and yeah, it's not technically a "new" single, but it's an excuse to party and watch 16-year-old girls rolling off their asses try to support the weight of a grown man crowdsurfing in an inflatable raft, so we're in.

E-commerce has become a big part in today's Internet. Because the start-up cost is relatively lower, more and more people are leaving their daily jobs to run online stores in search of higher incomes than their 9-to-5 jobs. While starting an online shop is easy, earning money from it doesn't seem so. It turns out that a lot of work is needed in order to turn an online store into a money-making machine. In this article, I'll share four tried-and-true techniques of e-commerce store optimization that my web design company has applied on the online store of one of our clients.
Think like a skeptic and you will make more money from your e-commerce website. This is one of the surefire ways to improve your site's sales and revenues. We use it all the time with our clients, from small businesses to Fortune 500s. When we take on new e-commerce conversion projects, we think about user experience from the perspective of a lot of different personas/user types who may visit your site. One of the most important filters through which we think is the skeptic. As sales people, what do we need to do to encourage skeptical and uneasy people? How can we put them at ease and address their concerns before they even know they are having them?
In a recent post on the Ascent Internet blog, I laid out the case for compelling Web content from a marketing standpoint. However, having targeted, high quality content is not enough for a website - you need tools to capture the users of your content.
Take your split testing to the next level.
The 2012 holiday season is just around the corner. Ask any online store which gets bulk of its sales during this season, and they'll vouch for the increased traffic, excitement and business possibilities during these months. Now is the time that you gear up for the busiest time of the year; especially people who earn their bread & butter (perhaps more) from e-commerce.
Mobile e-commerce isn't quite there yet, but you can help your conversions.
Ten fascinating psychological research studies that will help you learn how people "tick", as well as how to apply them to increase conversions.
By now, you probably understand that a good landing page is essential for online businesses. You may have even created a few using services like Unbounce. Maybe you've bootstrapped it and created one yourself from a CSS template. Heck, maybe you went all the way and hired a designer to make a whole page for you. But are you getting everything out...
There's a slight chill in the air, and you know what that means…holiday season is right around the corner. How can you ensure your e-commerce site is ready to handle the holiday rush? Simply use this list of the top ten e-commerce tips and tricks to update your site. By considering some of the most common e-commerce goals, you can implement the best ways to get your site holiday-ready.
Gone are the days when your "landing page" is the homepage of your website. Recent trends in internet marketing have brought landing pages to the forefront of conversion rate optimization. Nowadays, increasing your chances of converting visitors into buyers of your products and/or services requires true-to-form landing pages to properly steer potential customers into ...
A common question out when it comes to testing is, can conversion optimization testing affect SEO? Yes, I believe a bad test structure can have worse side effects than most people realize - and not always for good. Depending on the scenario, embarking on the testing ship without due diligence can have harmful effects on SEO. Below are some of the dangerous testing scenario...

The goal of the Libertarian Party is to promote Liberty. We strive for and strongly promote the same principals held by our founding fathers which sparked the American Revolution. The political philosophy we embrace is that each individual has a right to live their lives and use their property as they see fit, as long as they respect the full right of others to do the same. We consistently and firmly advocate personal and economic freedom and a noninterventionist foreign policy.
We are very proud that our treasurer, Peter Richter, ran for Florida State Representative District 106, the first Libertarian ever to have run in Collier County, and achieved 16,379 votes.

Published September 1, 2006.
Boneless, lean, and tender, pork tenderloin offers plenty of hope for the time-pressed weeknight cook. If it only offered plenty of flavor.
When cooked properly, ultra-lean pork tenderloin has a tenderness rivaling that of beef tenderloin; unfortunately it also has ultra-mild flavor. Long marinades and hybrid searing and roasting techniques help remedy the flavor deficiency, but they take the home cook a long way from the realm of the no-fuss meal.
We wanted a recipe for a fast weeknight dinner that still offered maximum flavor.
Packaging and shape presented the first challenge: we needed to deal with the tenderloin's oblong, tapered shape as well as the fact that the tenderloins (which are usually sold in a pair in a vacuum pack) were almost guaranteed to be substantially different in weight and length. The solution was to cut them into 1 1/2 inch thick medallions (the end pieces were scored, creating a small flap of meat that folded underneath the larger half to yield the right-sized medallion). To keep their tidy cylindrical shape, we developed two approaches: tying the medallions or wrapping blanched bacon around them, fastened with toothpicks. We found we could create a beautiful sear on all sides of these neat packages in the time it took to reach an internal temperature of 145 to 150 degrees, and the searing process had the extra benefit of producing enough fond to create several easy, flavorful pan sauces.

Red Lake shooting suspect's trial will begin Nov. 14 By Terry Collins Star Tribune RED LAKE, MINN. - The trial of Louis Jourdain, son of the Red Lake tribal chairman, for his alleged role in the March 21 fatal shootings at Red Lake High School, is scheduled to begin Nov. 14 in Minneapolis. That information was obtained from a subpoena seen by a Star Tribune reporter. Jourdain, 17, has been held on conspiracy charges since a week after the shootings, in which his cousin, 16-year-old Jeffrey Weise, killed nine people before taking his own life. Tribal Chairman Floyd Jourdain declined to comment Wednesday, as did his son's attorney, Jon Hopeman of Minneapolis. "I wish I could, but I can't," Hopeman said. U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger also declined to comment Wednesday. Heffelfinger's office unsuccessfully sought this summer to have Jourdain tried as an adult. Eight people - five other students, a teacher, a guard and Weise - died at the high school, making it the second-deadliest school shoot- were wounded. Before the killings at the school, Weise's grandfather and his grandfather's girlfriend were shot to death at their home. Juvenile proceedings in federal court are typically not open to the public or the media. Prosecutors have not said what Jourdain is accused of doing. But sources with knowledge of the investigation have said he is charged with conspiracy to commit murder. In federal court, that charge carries a possible life sentence, if the defendant is convicted as an adult. However, in a juvenile case, a person can only be held until age 21, in most cases. Teenagers prosecuted as juveniles in federal court do not have the right to a jury trial, but they also can't technically be convicted of a crime — only found delinquent. Prosecutors are alleging that Jourdain and Weise had worked on a plan for more than a year via e-mail all Weise's grandfather, steal his weapons and kill people at the school. In an interview two weeks ago, Floyd Jourdain described Louis as a relatively quiet, easygoing boy close to his family. While he would not comment specifically about next month's case, Floyd Jourdain said the fate of his son, who was in school during the shootings, rests on what was said or discussed in nearly 900 pages of e-mail, instant message and text-message chats between Louis Jourdain and Weise. Those chats were introduced during a closed hearing in St. Paul in July to detennine whether the younger Jourdain should be tried as an adult. "It's all about a lot of words," TRIAL to page 3 Tribal council Tribal leader joins fight against meth suspends leader Oglala Sioux president will get hearing on membership, loan complaints The Oglala Sioux Tribal Council suspended President Cecelia Fire Thunder on Tuesday while a hearing is scheduled to look into complaints against her. The council voted to accept two complaints against Fire Thunder, and, according to a tribal ordinance, that results in her immediate suspension, said Lydia Bear Killer, a council representative from Pass Creek. A hearing will be set within 20 days. A judge will hear all sides of the case and decide whether to dismiss or accept the complaints. Fire Thunder said the suspension is part of the process, and she is confident there are no grounds to impeach her. "Impeaching the president of a great nation requires greater charges," she said. William Birdnecklace Tate, who served as the tribe's utilities manager from 2001 to 2003, filed a complaint in August that said Fire Thunder was not legally enrolled in the tribe when she ran for president last fall. "The complaint is all over the place. It accuses me of not being a member. I had all my paperwork," Fire Thunder said. "I'm just worried that by accepting this complaint without any merit, it opens the door for any and all complaints against council members." Persistent complaints from OGLALA to page 3 By Mike Stark The Gazette Staff Carl Venne's only son lost control ofthe car he was driving three years ago, killing himself and two others. The car was traveling at 106 mph, the Highway Patrol said. Methamphetamine was a factor. "There's not a day goes by that I don't think about my son and what could've been," Venne said. On Tuesday, the Crow tribal chairman said he was joining the advisory council for the Montana Meth Project in hopes of saving others the grief he went through. "If you really think about it, it doesn't matter what color your skin is or how rich or poor you are, meth is going to get to you," Venne said. "We all have to fight this together." Earlier this year, Thomas Siebel, a billionaire and part-time Montana resident, put up $5.6 million for the Montana Meth Project, which produces hard-hitting advertisements aimed at giving teenagers a look at the ugly side of the drug. The Missoula-based project is focusing especially on reducing first-time use. Venne joins the project's advisory board as the only tribal representative. He has seen the effects of meth on the Crow Reservation, where the drug was linked to the deaths of six young people last spring, he said, and numerous other incidents. "We have a meth epidemic on our reservation," he said. "I felt like I had to make a decision to stand up and talk about it and fight METH to page 3 Federal judge: Tribal court lacks jurisdiction in land dispute Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. - A federal judge here issued a temporary injunction against the Crow Tribal Court, preventing it from getting further involved in a land dispute between non-tribal members on a small section ofthe historic Custer Battlefield. U.S. District Judge Richard Ce- bull said the Crow Tribal Court does not have jurisdiction in the dispute between the owners ofthe Fort Custer building in Garyowen and the Custer Battlefield Preservation Committee, who are locked in a fight over a gravel parking lot. Cebull in his order Friday said the tribal court does not have jurisdiction because none of the parties involved in the dispute are members of the tribe and the land at the center ofthe fight is not tribal land. "It's clear to me under the law tribal court doesn't have jurisdiction," Cebull said. The federal judge noted he also does not have jurisdiction to settle the land dispute, an issue he said should properly be resolved in state court. Cebull's order only addresses the issue of whether the tribal court has jurisdiction, he said.

Brandon Humphrey was killed while Shea Fleming and Charles Croaker were wounded, the sheriff's office said. Their conditions were not immediately released. The shootings were reported shortly before 6 a.m. There were no immediate anests.

Warroad Ojibwe want government to recognize their existence By Tom Robertson Minnesota Public Radio WARROAD, Minn. (AP) - Don Kakaygeesick of Wanoad beams with pride. He's sitting on a couch in a trailer home near the shore of Lake of the Woods, digging through a bunch of files. It's hard to believe what he pulls from a plain, white envelope; a faded document of historic importance. It was drafted in 1905 and is signed by then President Theodore Roosevelt. "This is the original land patent, giving (land to) our great-grandfather, Kakaygeesick, or otherwise known as Everlasting Sky," Kakaygeesick said. "And as you can see, this is the original, because there's the seal on there. There's Theodore Roosevelt's signature." Don Kakaygeesick says the tattered document is a key piece of evidence. It shows that 100 years ago, the federal government recognized his Ojibwe community as Indians. The land grant was one of two in the Wanoad area that gave the Indians a total of about 215 acres of land. What the federal government really wanted at the time was for the Wanoad Indians to move, either to the Red Lake or White Earth reservations. But Kakaygeesick says his ancestors had lived in the Lake of the Woods region for centuries and they refused to leave. The 1905 land deal allowed them to stay. But it meant they were not part of a recognized tribe. They essentially lost their identity as Ojibwe Indians, at least in the eyes ofthe federal government. Today, the federal government recognizes their land as Indian land. But it doesn't recognize the owners of that land as Indians. The Ojibwe community in War- road number in the hundreds. There isn't much left of their original land grants _ just a six-acre lot on the shore of Lake of the Woods. It used to span 100 acres. But a nearby dam built years ago raised the level of Lake ofthe Woods and flooded most of the property. OJIBWE to page 7 McCain says Indian casino regulations need review By William Mccall Associated Press Sen. John McCain said Monday that gambling regulations for American Indian casinos need to be reviewed because an industry that has grown to nearly $20 billion in annual revenue on mostly cash transactions is vulnerable to corruption. The Arizona Republican noted that tribal casino revenue was just $500 million a year when the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was passed in 1988. "It must be revisited, and we will," McCain told leaders ofthe nine main tribes in Oregon during a meeting at Portland State University. Several of the tribal leaders told McCain, who is chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, the gambling regulations are adequate and should not be changed. "Once you open those doors, anything can happen," said De- lores Pigsley, chairwoman of the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz on the Oregon coast. But McCain was firm in his response. "We have a difference of opinion," McCain said. "This is an industry with a long history of corruption, so we'll just have to respectfully disagree." The senator was more receptive to tribal concerns about salmon conservation, reservation land disputes, health care and forest management. McCain, joined by fellow Sens. Ron Wyden and Gordon Smith of Oregon, agreed that improvement in health care was a top priority, especially for Indian children and teens. "Too many Native American teens are falling through the cracks in the health care system," Wyden said. "For me, this is a moral blot on our state." Smith, whose son committed suicide as a college freshman in 2003, said he introduced a bill to help prevent teen suicide, after the senators noted the rate among American Indian teenagers is nearly three times the national average. Rebecca Miles, chairwoman of the Nez Perce Tribe, urged the senators to prevent development of an RV park near the burial site of Chief Joseph on Wallowa Lake in northeastern Oregon. She noted the property owners, the K&B Family Limited Partnership, have refused offers to sell the land to the federal government or historic preservation groups. "An RV park on this site is disgraceful and unacceptable from any point of view," Miles said. MCCAIN to page 2 Interior Department wins delay of computer shutdown order By Jennifer Talhelm Associated Press ■ WASHINGTON (AP) _ The Interior Department won a reprieve Friday from a judge's order to disconnect from the Internet all computer systems with access to accounts it manages for thousands of American Indians. In a motion filed in federal courts, officials had said disconnecting the computers would cause "massive injury to the public interest and the operations of government." An appellate court on Friday granted a stay allowing the department to appeal the judge's ruling. U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth ordered the shutdown on Thursday, saying the department's computer security was so bad that hackers could easily break into the system and access and manipulate the Indians' account information. He directed the department to disconnect all but those systems necessary to protect from fire or threats to life, property or national security. Department officials say the or der would affect as many as 6,000 computers across the country plus "an undetermined number" of others with indirect access to trust infonnation. Lamberth's order was much more extensive than his previous opinions, which required the Bureau of Indian Affairs and other Indian agencies to go off-line to protect trust data. In an almost 10-year-old class- action lawsuit, American Indians contend the government has COMPUTER to page 2

Australia managed to end their Rugby Championship campaign on a winning note, but the 25-19 triumph.
With the exception of one great backline move in the second half, which resulted in a crucial try for Digby Ioane, it was a game littered with errors, poor execution and shocking options.
The standards in general in this game were well below par and showed how much better New Zealand are than the rest
Jan de Koning rates the Australian player!
15 Mike Harris:
Great goal-kicking, missed just one and contributed greatly to his team's win. He struggled with ball control at times, but his out of hand kicking was great.
14 Nick Cummins:
Very quiet debut and struggled with the ball in the air.
13 Ben Tapuai:
Had a couple of decent runs, but struggled with ball control and butchered a three-on-one. His field kicks were not too bad.
12 Pat McCabe:
Well marked and struggled to get over the advantage line. Made his tackles.
11 Digby Ioane:
He missed early high ball, then lost the ball in the tackle a couple of rimes. However, scored a brilliant and crucial try in the second half. Always looked for work.
10 Kurtley Beale:
Looked full of running and tried to spark the Wallaby attack. Provided some humorous entertainment when he missed the bal altogether while attempting a grubber and missed two long-range goal-kicks.
9 Nick Phipps:
Mostly a link and missed a couple of tackles. His passing wasn't very accurate either.
8 Radike Samo:
Struggled with ball control. Made his tackles and had a couple of decent runs, but drifted out of the game at times.
7 Michael Hooper:
Penalised at the breakdown and missed a tackle, but had a big break early in the second half. In total he had the most run metres of all the Wallabies.
6 Sitaleki Timani:
Lots of strong carries, doing the hard yards. However, he also missed a tackle.
5 Nathan Sharpe:
Always making good ground with ball in hand, very busy and made his tackles. Also took his line-outs.
4 Kane Douglas:
Was quiet and missed a tackle in his 12 minutes on the field. Not enough time to be rated.
3 Ben Alexander:
Was penalised at scrum time and nothing much else. There was one long 45-metre kick downfield.
2 Tatafu Polota Nau:
Penalised for collapsing the maul, then several more penalties at the breakdown - lucky not to be carded in the first half and put the ball down in the tackle as well.
1 James Slipper:
Won an early turnover, but then penalised at the scrum - replaced at half-time.
16 Saia Fainga'a:
Not used.
17 Benn Robinson (on for James Slipper, 40th min):
Put in great tackle on Gonzalo Camacho, but then conceded a penalty by not rolling away. However, he brought stability to the Wallaby scrum.
18 Dave Dennis (on for Radike Samo, 63rd min):
Made a few tackles, but no real impact.
19 Scott Higginbotham (on for Kane Douglas, 12th min):
There was a crucial turnover late in the second half, produced several strong carries and made several tackles - slipped just one.
20 Liam Gill (on for Sitaleki Timani, 69th min):
Not enough time to be rated.
21 Brett Sheehan (on for Nick Phipps, 74th min):
Yellow-carded within a minute of coming into the field. Could have cost his team dearly. Not enough time to be rated.
22 Dominic Shipperley:
Not used.

A vintage suitcase laptop table
Materials: Dave laptop table
Description: This is my second luggage project. I love to upcycle old luggage into tables, so it seems. This guy was given to me in his original pre-loved state by a wonderful man I work with during the holidays when he heard I was into 'the luggage'. He had used it and found it in the garage, unloved, and lovingly gave him to me to upcycle and make useful. Perfection.
Blue Footed Bobby, as it also turns out, is an Ikea Hack. Once I completed cleaning, priming, painting and finishing up his stripes with some magic shiny tape I was on the hunt for legs. He's not a large suitcase, just the right size, medium. He needed legs that matched his style and size. I hunted and hunted for something inexpensive and suitable. What did I end up using? The base from my very own best friend of a laptop table from Ikea, Dave. Height adjustable, tiltable and so so birdlike, I loved the idea in my mind. With a little cleaning, some paint and a simple transplant of hardware he was born. Without any further explanation, let me introduce Blue Footed Bobby.
See more of the Blue Footed Bobby.

RITCHIE: NO WELFARE BENEFITS FOR SMOKES, BOOZE OR LOTTO | New York State Senate
Senator Ritchie says that's wrong....but is it ? The sins keep money flowing back into NY coffers...Isn't that the goal ?
RITCHIE: NO WELFARE BENEFITS FOR SMOKES, BOOZE OR LOTTO | New York State Senate
28 comments:
How are they going to enforce this? Or I mean implment this? They chould do stings and arrest the little old lady cashier that sells something forbidden to a customer using a debit card issued by EBT. Or get the evil banks to keep track of what things can be charged to what accounts and fine them when they don't catch something.
- June 15, 2012 at 8:44 PM
Well the sales of Newports and 40's of the malt likker will be plummeting at all of New Yorks finer convenience establishments.
- June 15, 2012 at 10:49 PM
Way to go Senator!
Probably a 1 house bill, but kudos for starting the conversation - June 15, 2012 at 11:46 PM
The State acting as a guardian on behalf of the taxpayer from whom The State stole the money to begin with.
No welfare program, no welfare misuse.
But then no welfare program would deprive countless thousands of gov't drones of taxpayer funded paychecks.
If the intent of welfare is to assist the poor then how does The State justify the enormous overhead costs?
That is more important to address than booze, lotteries, or tobacco. - June 16, 2012 at 4:10 AM
I have never seen anyone buy cigarettes, booze or lottery tickets with a benefit card. Some people need to remember that people receiving child support get a card that looks a lot like the benefit card. Child support is not welfare. I did see a woman get hassled by a person behind her in line at a store for buying potato chips and soda with what the woman thought was a benefit card. Turned out to be child support and the user let the nosy woman know it.
- June 16, 2012 at 8:50 AM
Spincycle on full here makes for a great headline and i do like the concept Senator . But c'mon this is hardly the stuff of greatness , nor will it be a game changer of real impact :>)
Rightsize bloated state agencies , commissions , and authorities. Cut redundant operations in ALL levels of publically financed organizations and put SOME REAL teeth into minimum size requirements for Schools and SUNY and begin to SAVE REAL $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ - June 16, 2012 at 9:10 AM
Nice racial touch there, Mr Mayor. Can you tell us what the white-to-minority ratio of welfare recipients is in Jefferson County?
Your buddy Doheny must have that available. - June 16, 2012 at 9:14 AM
Is someone FINALLY waking up to the welfare abuse in this state that is costing us millions. I get so disgusted watching welfare bums using their benefit card to buy better food than I buy, then pay cash for their beer, cigarettes, and lottery tickets. Things have gotten out of control!! GO Patti Richie!!!
- June 16, 2012 at 10:52 AM
This kind of legislation is exactly what Patty Ritchie promotes.. Meaniless, costly and always done to promote one of her three or four writers to write a story about how hard she works..
She promised reform andnothing has changed.. She prmomised our star rebates and nothing has changed.. Shes helping block the minimum wage from being passed. Shes blocking home rule in her home County just to play politics.. Good record Patty keep up the good work for the downstate Republcians. - June 16, 2012 at 2:09 PM
You are corrct Mayor, it's a viscious cycle; much like our courts system. It's not about what is right or wrong, just keep the money moving.
- June 16, 2012 at 2:41 PM
Yup, good catch 9:14am.
Apparently, by the mayor's own definition CERTAIN stereotyping falls "within the bounds of good taste." It also plays well here in Hillbillytown where most of the locals consider it perfectly acceptable and the mayor knows this.
In fact, some will be offended that you would have the audacity to point it out.
Ignorance on parade. - June 16, 2012 at 4:05 PM
8:50 am,
If you've never seen the welfare users buying ciggies, booze and lottery tickets with cash they've taken off the cards, you ain't looking very hard! They buy a lot of video games, too. Gotta have somethinng to do while the rest of us are working. Ask any store cashier if you want to find out how many of the welfare crowd are abusing their welfare benifits. - June 16, 2012 at 5:14 PM
- Dan Francis said...
Whoa, hold there big fellow. Let's take a step back and cover a few facts first of all, shall we?
1. The EBT card cannot be used for those purchases, any more than it can be used at McDonalds or any place that sells prepared food... it's for food to be taken home and cooked/consumed. Sen. Ritchie should already know the rules.
2. Pet food cannot be purchased, either.
3. There are abuses I am sure, but allowing them in the first place is the issue. Store clerks must be retrained to tell the customers, "Sorry that is now allowed on the card." Now I know some can game the system. They get their product scanned and then show the EBT card. Rather than rescan them, the store clerk might say, "Go ahead this time."
4. Perhaps the card should be shown in advance before the store clerks scan the products?
There is a big stigma for people with EBT cards (that old "welfare" queen label). People these days are famous for using it around here. Just listen the Mayor's show and hear the "free stuff crowd" bashing people without the facts. I'm a guessin' they ain't never been on food stamps or the new EBT card.
Keep in mind, the rules for the card: basically for LOW-INCOME working people who must qualify for the card and the level of benefits therein ... notice I said "low-income working people" – for the GED crowd, that means they have a job but not a lot of money for food.
Memo for Sen. Ritchie: I wonder if those 3-4 people who ratted out "abusers" really knew what they were seeing when they "reported" this crime to you. You should be ashamed, too.
Now, for the anti-me crowd: go ahead and unload on me. But, come armed with facts. I always try to do exactly that.
The attacks on the less-fortunate and low-income workers are pitiful. They are not free-loaders, and Sen. Ritchie, once again, should know that. Hell, I can't even use my Navy Visa Card which I've had for 35 years to buy a lotto, so I pretty sure one is buying them on an EBT card.
BTW: The do and don't list is here - FYI
http://www.ehow.com/info_8550616_ebt-card-restrictions.html - June 16, 2012 at 5:40 PM
Danny the rules are federal law and you know your Communist totalitarian president has a lawsuit against several states for trying to enforce federal laws.
You are flat out wrong about your definition of food for EBT. They can get prepared foods as long as they are not hot and will be taken home for consumption. They can buy soda and cookies and candy and energy drinks too as long as they have nutrition labels on them.
Danny your a typical librul because you want to train the clerks better instead of holding the lawbreaker accountable.
This is what you free stuff people are about. The teapublican makers, out of the goodness of their hearts, have agreed to support lazy people that have too many kids too early in life. The people you call unfortunate. They just want to support them with food instead of luxury discretionary purchases. But that is not good enough for you. - June 16, 2012 at 8:04 PM
Ritchie would get reelected if her bill said that these welfies cant shop with the working folks. Make 'em shop from 10-12 at nite. Then all you hillbillies wont have to see them.
- June 16, 2012 at 8:24 PM
I don't know about all stores, but where I shop, the cashier scans everything in and when the EBT card is scanned, everything that isn't allowed comes up as a cash sale and the person using the card has to pay for those items or put them back. I would think in this day of technology that all stores could do this.
As Dan Francis said the card is basically for the working poor. But it's just so much fun to hate everyone on welfare, isn't it?? I mean, so much for equality. Booze and smokes no. But would you really deny someone a movie or a little entertainment because he or she is among the working poor??
I doubt many cashiers would risk their job to let someone buy smokes or lottery tickets with an EBT card because almost all stores have video cameras and it would be too easy to catch. - June 16, 2012 at 11:12 PM
Ritchie should do a little research before she makes herself look stupid. No one saw anyone buy lottery tickets with an EBT card. You can't buy lottery tickets with a credit or debit card. You can only use a card to buy lottery subscriptions. I'm pretty sure all stores are set up so purchases that aren't allowed kick out anything that can't be bought with an EBT card. You can't get cash off them, it has to be a product purchase.
From the article:
"The bill, S.7671, introduced this week, came in response to complaints the Senator received from constituents who witnessed customers using their EBT cards—essentially a debit card that's preloaded with welfare benefits, and can be used at groceries, supermarkets and a host of other locations—to purchase alcohol, tobacco and even scratch-off lottery tickets."
I don't believe it. - June 17, 2012 at 8:58 AM
8:58 is wrong. If a retailer uses scanning to ring up everything and attaches the correct departments to each item then that retailer is capable of catching the fraud. But many retailer do not scan and many that do scan, do not classify each item into a department. And there is no universally accepted department definition either. And even if the retailer has the sate of the art set-up, and invents the correct departments, the system is still dependent on someone at headquarters to program the price changes and new items correctly by the hundreds every week.
And all that is useless if they use one of the ATM's that are surcharge free for EBT cards.

Well, I guess I'll weigh in here. Having worked for the past 28 years in the grocery industry, (the past 12 as a front line manager for a major chain) I can tell you from personal experience I have seen little or no abuse with the EBT cards. Occasionally, a mistake is made but those are few and far in between. Most of the people I see using the EBT cards are honest working class families just trying to feed themselves. You might refer to them as the "truly needy or deserving."I'm not saying there isn't some abuse going on; I just don't see any of it in my job capacity.
- June 17, 2012 at 2:57 PM
Ive gone to stores one on Franklin St, and the other on Factory St. Ive witnessed both places people buying energy drinks(maybe they need it to work) candy bars, potatoe chips, with EBT cards.
- June 17, 2012 at 5:27 PM
28 years of experience doing what? How long have EBT cards even been out here in NYS? A lot less than 28 years. And how do you know what they do with the cash after they take it out of an ATM?
Welfare queens do not go to major grocery stores, they go to the dump within walking distance of the subsidized apartment they live in. - June 17, 2012 at 6:48 PM
"Welfare queens do not go to major grocery stores, they go to the dump within walking distance of the subsidized apartment they live in."
You should be ashamed of yourself – talking about Michelle Bachmann that way! - June 18, 2012 at 1:17 AM
I believe we should make it easier for welfare folks to buy ciggies, beer, lottery tickets, and bath salts with their benefit cards. That way they will die earlier and we won't have to support them as long as we would have otherwise. And they won't be voting either. Oh that's right, with Dannie's system of no id to vote, they can vote long after they're dead.
- June 18, 2012 at 1:46 AM
There is plenty of abuse and here's how. Person "A" has an EBT card and wants a pack of smokes and a sixer of the Beast. Person "B" has cash and needs some groceries. "A" buys for "B" and vice versa. Happens all of the time. EBT card is just like cash, maybe with a reduced face value because it can only be spent on certain things, but it's cash just the same.

If they go to one of the few stores that restricts the purchases they can simply go to an ATM and withdraw the cash. If Ritchie wants to end the abuse, she needs to repeal the ATM feature of the card.

Anon 2:57 - thanks for that input - sadly the others here would rather deal in opinion or naty innuendo - anything except facts.
The less-fortunate/low-income/needy persons are easy targets at these forums, on the radio, and especially from those in elected office - as if those in office didn't have needy/low-income/or less-fortunate citizens in their district.
Shameful that those nasty attitudes prevail and in many caes, domionate the talk.
That's why it's good that some of us can present facts to off-set them - but not always accompishing that task. - June 18, 2012 at 4:41 PM
You have to be joking, right? - June 20, 2012 at 11:22 AM

Tell us which is better for a solar space-heating system: flat plates or evacuated tubes and why?

I have read that evacuated tubes are more efficient in most cases, and so I would argue that would be the deciding factor, but in warmer climates it tends to be a wash.

20130521 12:37 | swksvolFF | We were out one night responding to a town which had taken a legitimate brush from a tornado. We were doing our door-to-door safety check when I heard on the radio that the town we were in was totally wiped out. I said "Oh sh!t, then where are we!? Glad to see the death toll down. That was a tornado which didn't care if you did everything right; if you are in the wrong spot, then. | ||
20130521 12:35 | Deacon Blues | Interesting, if true: Stevens mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming insurgents with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft. Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap. This left Stevens in the position of having to clean up the scandalous enterprise when it became clear that the insurgents actually were al-Qaeda indeed, in the view of one of the diplomats, the same group that attacked the consulate and ended up killing Stevens. | ||

20130521 02:07 | OldSpook | There appears to be no limit to the fecklessness of the GOP in DC. | ||
20130520 21:28 | Pappy | The GOP leadership will respond if they wish to retain power. The Tea Party and the conservative wing will put increasing pressure on the DC party. Hopefully you're right. I think they'll waver precisely because they're terrified of being accused of being tools for the Tea Party and the conservative wing. | ||

20130520 17:50 | Shipman | I am a Bligh fan-boy, it was his unfortuante fate to Command the Bounty as a Lieutenant and not a Captain (1 rank in that time I think) A Captain got 3 or more Marines. A Lieutenant none. It's the dark secret of the USN and HMRN that Marines are really there to kill frisky sailors if the time comes, their assault capability are just gravy. Srsly. True story... my Uncle Charles was a Seagoing Type, perpetually annoyed and seeing deviant behavior where, well seeing deviant behavior in Norfolk. He ended up as a body guard to Adrm King and then a (yeah) a copper. He mellowed into a good chief of Police in Fernandiana Beach Fl and later into an awesome produce salesman in the bad part of TLH. I miss him, he was a hard core bastard, an enormous man with pent up anger at all things that he A: didn't understand 2. Understood and disagreed with iii.

20130520 10:26 | mrp | 1. I know it was. I read the book. 3. The GOP leadership will respond if they wish to retain power. The Tea Party and the conservative wing will put increasing pressure on the DC party. That's why Obama and his people targeted the Tea Party (and Sarah Palin for that matter). They are the real opposition and the true threat. 4. I read the Wretchard excerpt that you posted. | ||
20130520 06:19 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | 1. The USS Caine was fictional. That's what all you college boys think... but geometric logic says otherwise! | ||
20130519 22:57 | Pappy | 1. The USS Caine was fictional. 2.That mutiny, much like the real USS Vance one, was staged by the wardroom and not the crew. However, I have read about(and have seen one) uprising by ship's crews. The latter are a result of long-festering or a series of issues. 3. In any case, I was responding to the other commenters' remarks about the lack of response by the Republican leadership about attacks on the tea party. The leadership has no regard for the Tea Party, regarding them as political amateurs, useful only for scut labor, much like the landsmen on the Bounty were - until the mutiny occurred. 4. Apparently you didn't really read wretchard's remarks. Congress - the GOP part - is still at the "maybe there's a problem" stage. The GOP is still holding to the political process, where horse-trading reigns and compromises can be made. To use a line from the article: "nobody wants to risk the political peace by some hot-headed response". Meaning if and when the GOP does act,it'll likely be at the point where it's too late to use the bicameral, bipartisan political process, or any political action taken by the GOP will be unsuccessful, because a significant portion of its conservative/Tea Party base will have defected. 5. The judiciary is politicized. | ||
20130519 22:57 | mrp | The Bounty? Wrong naval analogy. A better one is the USS Caine. And what's the talk about "uprisings" anyway? It is past time for this Congress and our judicial system to rein in an out-of-control regulatory system that's increasingly hostile to political dissent. | ||
20130519 21:51 | Thing From Snowy Mountain | Planet Tahiti, with the Open-Minded Swedish Air Hostesses... | ||
20130519 20:31 | badanov | Working the problem. | ||
20130519 20:24 | badanov | Some Sunday evening Glenn Miller w/ Ray Eberle: | ||
20130519 17:21 | Shipman | Hot damn, Pappy is implying we're going back to Tahiti. I'm onboard. | ||
20130519 16:52 | Pappy | That's because the Tea Party is essentially a non-entity to the GOP, and to the D.C. political system at large. They're the 'landsmen' on the political Bounty. I'll leave it to you to draw the rest of the analogy. Suffice it to say I've studied mutinies, from the Bounty to the USS Vance to scores of small uprisings on other USN vessels in the 1960s-70s. We're at the "something is wrong but things will work out" stage... | ||
20130519 16:43 | badanov | They damn oughta be! | ||
20130519 15:57 | Bright Pebbles | The trouble with wretchard's post is that the republican leadership isn't too fussed about attacks on the tea party. | ||
20130519 14:58 | 3dc | went back to 3dc nym on new linux .... | ||
20130519 12:28 | mrp | Sigh. Wretchard wrings his hands about a Republican response while the Obama Leftist crush dissent. Because that's the role conservatives are now forced to play with the DOJ and Treasury politicized and playing hardball against organizers and big-wallet donors. "Going for the big brass wring" isn't a matter of elections at this point. | ||
20130519 12:14 | Pappy | Morning from Next to The Park. Thanks for the tip, Shipman. I'll order the kindle version. I just have to wade through about, oh, 20 books before I can get to it. | ||
