Liberty County grand jurors angry over early dismissal

Posted on by

Members of a Liberty County grand jury abruptly dismissed prior to the final session of their six-month term are demanding answers from the people they believe are behind the decision to remove them.

Six people who served on the 12-member grand jury Dr. Jimmy Smith, Richard Pegues, Mary Terrell, Kay Roberts, Burma Chapman and Darrell Taylor met on Thursday, Jan. 24, with the Advocate to discuss what they feel led to their early dismissal on Nov. 29, just one month before their terms were set to expire on Dec. 31, 2012.

In the crosshairs of their suspicions are former Liberty County District Attorney Mike Little, who retired in December and now serves as Liberty municipal court judge, and Houston attorney Larry Eastepp, who was assigned to the grand jury as a prosecutor pro tem.

Little and Eastepp were asked to comment about the accusations being leveled in their directions, but both declined to comment based on the secrecy rule regarding grand jury proceedings.

The six grand jurors believe they were getting too close to uncovering information on cases that had been allowed to languish for unknown reasons.

One of the cases they were expecting to hear was the March 2010 incident of tampering with the mail of 253rd District Court Judge Chap Cain.

It is believed that as many as four persons may have conspired to access Cains mail and provide copies of a campaign contribution to members of the media in an effort to accuse Cain of accepting donations that exceeded the law. Cain, however, returned the check to the donor and requested another be written for the amount allowed by law for campaign contributions.

You have some grand jurors who have expressed that they dont know what they did wrong and then you have people like me who are not left with that question at all, said Richard Pegues, who served on the dismissed grand jury. I want to know who is conspiring to stop certain cases from coming before a Liberty grand jury. Well, its the runaway prosecutors to me.

The grand jurors were notified of their dismissal by certified letter. They are outraged that the reason for their dismissal was never revealed to them and has left a cloud of suspicion hanging over them.

We were summarily dismissed and it implies that we were doing something wrong, when we werent, said grand juror Darrell Taylor.

Liberty Ross To Divorce Rupert Sanders

Posted on by

Model Liberty Ross has filed for divorce from "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders six months after he admitted to having an affair with the film's star, Kristen Stewart.

According to People magazine, Ross, 34, who also starred in the film, filed for divorce Friday from her estranged husband, Sanders, 41, in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday.

Ross and Sanders have been married for 10 years and have two children, Skyla, 7, and Tennyson, 5.

Liberty Ross Makes Solo Red Carpet Appearance

Us Weekly reported that she is seeking joint custody of the kids, spousal support and attorney's fees.

Ross' rep did not immediately respond to ABCNews.com's request for comment.

It's been about six months since Sanders publicly apologized for the affair following Stewart's surprising public admission that she cheated on then boyfriend and "Twilight" co-star Robert Pattinson.

Kristen Stewart Apologizes for Cheating on Robert Pattinson

"I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family," Sanders said in a statement to People in July 2012. "My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together."

Stewart appears to have patched things up with Pattinson, but despite what appeared to be attempts by Sanders and Ross to reconcile, the estranged couple could not.

Liberty Tire Recycling and Bridgestone Americas Present 'Recycle NASHVILLE: 2013' to Explore Scrap Tires and Use in …

Posted on by

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 28, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Liberty Tire Recycling, the premier provider of tire recycling services in North America, and Bridgestone Americas, the U.S. subsidiary of Bridgestone Corporation, the world's largest tire and rubber company, will highlight the innovative benefits of rubberized asphalt on February 27, 2013 with an event called "Recycle NASHVILLE: 2013." The event will be held at Bridgestone Americas' headquarters (535 Marriott Drive, Nashville) and will gather transportation and environmental professionals, civic leaders and policymakers to learn more about scrap tire management in Tennessee and rubberized asphalt materials and applications. Speakers will include experts from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, the Tennessee Department of Transportation, and local industry professionals, including the Tennessee Road Builders Association.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20091210/NE24642LOGO )

"Locally sourcing recycled tire rubber for asphalt projects is a win-win for Tennessee at both the state and municipal levels," said Jeffrey Kendall, CEO of Liberty Tire Recycling. "Rubberized asphalt provides a sustainable outlet for scrap tires and contributes to improved infrastructure in the form oflonger-lasting, less expensive roadways."

The sessions at Recycle NASHVILLE: 2013 will consist of presentations on topics including "Scrap Tire Management in Tennessee," "Scrap Tire Processing and Uses," "Tennessee Asphalt Industry Overview," "Tennessee Experience with Rubber and Modified Asphalt" and "Rubberized Asphalt Materials and Applications," which will provide an overview of the advantages of rubberized asphalt, from enhanced safety and reduced tire noise to better crack resistance and cost savings.

"More than 300 million tires come off the roads annually, and while they may no longer be of use on a vehicle, they are still a valuable resource," said Tim Bent, environmental director for Bridgestone Americas. "Our company is working to ensure that for every new tire we sell in the U.S., one spent tire a tire that has been removed from use is sent to another valuable purpose. If we are to succeed in reaching that goal, we must create, promote and encourage the use of spent tires in secondary markets, and rubberized asphalt has enormous potential for utilizing a large number of those tires that are discarded each year for an incredibly important product."

Rubberized asphalt is a low-cost, high-performance alternative to traditional paving mixes that reduces dependency on oil and limits carbon dioxide emissions. Added to traditional asphalt, crumb rubber comprises 8 to 22 percent of the binder and increases tensile strength. For more than 40 years, rubberized asphalt has proven to diminish maintenance costs and provide a smoother, safer ride. Plus, recycled rubber provides a reliable and consistent supply of material.

"We encourage state and municipal engineers and road maintenance supervisors to take rubberized asphalt specifications from this event and put them into practice in Tennessee to save money without sacrificing performance," Kendall added.

Education vs. health care

Here at Maclean's, we appreciate the written word. And we appreciate you, the reader. We are always looking for ways to create a better user experience for you and wanted to try out a new functionality that provides you with a reading experience in which the words and fonts take centre stage. We believe you'll appreciate the clean, white layout as you read our feature articles. But we don't want to force it on you and it's completely optional. Click "View in Clean Reading Mode" on any article if you want to try it out. Once there, you can click "Go back to regular view" at the top or bottom of the article to return to the regular layout.

This is as good as it gets, demographically speaking. Right now, Canada is in a demographic sweet spot. Our dependency ratio is currently at an all-time low of 59 dependents (those under 19 and over 65 years old) per 100 working-age adults, who pay the bills. Our share of non-workers to workers will never be so favourable again.

Two well-established trends are behind our current situation: a decline in the percentage of young Canadians due to falling birth rates; and the fact that the bulk of the baby boom generation is still working.

The problem is that this fortuitous circumstance cant last. Public purses will soon be hit by a rising dependency ratio spurred by a flood of boomer retirees, improvements in longevity and continued sluggishness in births. In theory, governments would adapt to this changing situation by reallocating spending. In its regular update on Ottawas long-term fiscal outlook, for example, the parliamentary budget office recently noted that: Population aging will put . . . upward pressure on programs whose benefits are mostly realized by Canadians in older age groups, such as health care, elderly benefits and public pension benefits. Such a future funding crunch, however, will be partially offset by reduced spending on programs with benefits largely focused on younger age groups, such as education.

More retirees inevitably mean more government spending on things old people need, while fewer young people should in turn mean less government spending on things children and teenagers need. Thats the theory, at any rate. Unfortunately, this sort of budgetary self-correction is nowhere to be seen in the real world.

Last week, Statistics Canada released a lengthy summary of primary and secondary education across the country, covering the past ve years. At a time when education spending should be gradually declining in step with reductions in the number of students, in fact the exact opposite is occurring.

Since the 2006-2007 school year, the total head count in Grades 1 to 12 across the country has fallen by over 200,000 students, a greater than four per cent drop. At the same time, total spending across Canada on public elementary and secondary schools has grown by $10 billion. The bulk of this increase is due to teacher compensation, which has leapt by more than $9,000 per educator over five years. Ontario teachers, to pick one example, have seen their average salaries and allowances grow from $71,000 to $80,000.

A combination of fewer students and more expensive teachers means Canadians are now spending more on each student than ever before. After correcting for inflation, per-student public spending has risen $1,300 since the 2006-2007 school year. While parents (and no doubt teachers) may think this is a good thing, it is a situation that simply cannot be maintained.

As classrooms empty out, the opposite is occurring in our nations long-term-care facilities and old age homes. The number of 80-year-olds, for example, is expected to double over the next decade or so.

To meet these changing circumstances, we will obviously need more health care professionals and fewer teachers. The first part of this equation is already occurring. The number of new doctors currently outpaces the population growth rate threefold. Nurses are increasing at double the rate of population growth. Canada now spends almost $6,000 per person on health care annually, or $207 billion in total, a figure that is also growing faster than the population.

Health care overhaul on target

Business developer Robert Schultz is a startup business consultant who got his MBA in 2008. He was able to find health care coverage when he graduated and hang on to his insurance through job changes.

WASHINGTON Buying your own health insurance will never be the same.

This fall, new insurance markets called exchanges will open in each state, marking the long-awaited and much-debated debut of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul.

The goal is quality coverage for millions of uninsured people in the United States. What the reality will look like is anybody's guess from bureaucracy, confusion and indifference to seamless service and satisfied customers.

Exchanges will offer individuals and their families a choice of private health plans resembling what workers at major companies already get. The government will help many middle-class households pay their premiums, while low-income people will be referred to safety-net programs they might qualify for.

Most people will go online to pick a plan when open enrollment starts Oct. 1. Counselors will be available at call centers and in local communities, too. Some areas will get a storefront operation or kiosks at the mall. Translation to Spanish and other languages spoken by immigrants will be provided.

When you pick a plan, you'll no longer have to worry about getting turned down or charged more because of a medical problem. If you're a woman, you can't be charged a higher premium because of gender. Middle-aged people and those nearing retirement will get a price break: They can't be charged more than three times what younger customers pay, compared with six times or seven times today.

Starts Jan. 1, 2014

Starting Jan. 1, 2014, when coverage takes effect in the exchanges, virtually everyone in the country will be required by law to have health insurance or face fines. The mandate is meant to get everybody paying into the insurance pool.

What the new health care market means for Fla.

Posted on by

MIAMI -

Florida's Republican lawmakers are reluctantly acknowledging that the Affordable Care Act is the law of the land and are taking steps to determine exactly what that will look like. The Sunshine State has one of the highest numbers of uninsured residents in the country, some of the most stringent eligibility requirements for health care safety nets, a large number of legal immigrants and a proposal to privatize its Medicaid program statewide.

So how will the federal health overhaul impact that? There are still a lot of unanswered questions, perhaps the biggest being whether Gov. Rick Scott will expand Florida's Medicaid rolls. The Republican governor was a vocal opponent of so-called "Obamacare" but softened his stance after the November election. He remains wary of the increased cost a Medicaid expansion could bring to Florida taxpayers and has been accused of playing politics with numbers after he referenced figures showing costs could be as high as $26 billion over a decade. The state health agency later revised that figure to $3 billion.

Florida lawmakers are also playing catch-up because the Legislative session is not convening until March, after or very close to federal deadlines.

Here are some questions and answers about how the Affordable Care Act could play out in Florida.

Q: How many Floridians are uninsured and how many of those are projected to get insurance under the exchange?

A: Florida had the nation's third-highest rate of residents without health insurance during the past three years, according to Census data. It also has some of the most stringent eligibility requirements in the country for Medicaid. A family of three with income of $11,000 a year makes too much to qualify and single residents are not covered.

Nearly 1 million people are estimated to take advantage of the state exchange, including residents who are employed and the unemployed. Many would be eligible for federal subsidies to help pay for it.

Q: How many people Floridians are currently served by Medicaid and how many more will be served if lawmakers choose Medicaid expansion?

A: Florida's Medicaid program currently costs more than $21 billion a year, with the federal government picking up roughly half the tab. It covers nearly 3 million people - about half are children - and consumes about 30 percent of the state budget. About 900,000 more residents could be covered if Florida decides to expand its Medicaid rolls.

Forever Freedom helps for Arthritis problem
Forever Freedom has combined Aloe Vera with other substances that are helpful for the maintenance of proper joint function and mobility in a tasty, orange-flavored juice formula. We #39;ve taken Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate - two naturally occurring elements that have been shown to help maintain healthy joint function and mobility - and married them with our stabilized Aloe Vera gel. To this, we #39;ve added vitamin C and MSM, a primary source of bio-available sulfur the body needs to maintain healthy connective tissues and joint function. Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate are natural substances that help maintain the structure and health of cartilage, keeping this natural "shock absorber" well hydrated. They also help keep the lubricating fluid within the joint at the necessary viscosity to allow one surface to glide freely over another. As the body ages, it is less able to produce these natural elements of healthy cartilage which can then lead to "wear and tear" on the joints. Forever Freedom provides the usually recommended amounts of Glucosamine Sulfate (1500mg), Chondroitin Sulfate (1200mg) plus 750mg of MSM and 250mg of Vitamin C per 4oz serving. When combined, Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin Sulfate,Vitamin C and MSM provide the first line of support for healthy joint function. Make Forever Freedom a practical and nutritious way to start your day! As with other FLP products, these ingredients are sourced natuarally and are considered to be ...
