I want to try to explore some of the different Delivery Systems that youre talking about there, whether its space heating, efficient design, housing technologies. I was out in an isolated territory with the secretary of state on friday. You realize how isolated these communities are, even communities of significant size and significant resource. But the challenges they face, they also are exclusively powered by diesel. And expensive. Extraordinarily, extraordinarily expensive. So how we deal with this. And weve got so much to learn from one another. And this is where i think we have certain advantages coming at us as we take over the chair of the arctic counsel, how we can be partnering with our northern neighbors in understanding some of the best technologies that are out there. But i would encourage us to look at what we have, developing in alaska, whether its the Cold Climate Housing Research center, the Innovative Technologies that have been coming out of there in regards to sustai
At the same time, weve had a large increase in care in the community, choice hasnt worked as intended. Here are some things were doing to fix it. On april 24th we changed the measure from Straight Line to driving distance. Using the fastest route. This roughly doubles the number of veterans eligible for the 40mile program under choice. Excuse me. But there is much more to do. A followon mailing to all eligible veterans is about to go out. Weve Just Launched a major change in internal processes to make choice the default option for care in the community. Additional staff training and communication extensive provider communications, improvement to the website and ramped up social networking. New mechanisms together, timely feedback. Directly from both veterans as well as from front line staff. These are all, already in place or about to launch. In the longer term, we must rationalize Community Care into a single channel. The different programs with different rules and reimbursement rates
Message where it needs to be delivered, that the time is critical and i look forward to being part of the solution. Thank you very much, mike, for your comments and your contributions. Ill take it a little bit out of order now and take my law partner and former member of congress, state of georgia, congressman Jack Kingston to give his perspective on some of the things theyre doing down in georgia, particularly in the port project area and hes now with us, with these projects probably had something to do with them back when you were in congress yourself. Jack, why dont you go ahead and tell us about what is happening down there. Thank you very much, senator. I have to take a point of personal privilege that i really came here to lobby jennifer on going ahead and getting a fast lane on 395. I think we all would like to see that happen. And, mike, i want to say my mother actually lives in louisville, colorado, and your toll road is great. Thank you. Ive driven it many times. It is such a
Facts of this case the Economic Situation are somewhat different that are ordinarily true in this industry because as handlers the hornes actually assumed the full financial responsibility for the raisins that were not turned over to the department of agricultural. The producers in this case were fully paid for their raisins. This is a factual finding to be found in the judicial officers opinion at 66 a of the appendix to the petition. The hornes paid the producers for their raisins corn to the judicial officer, those raisins became part of the inventory of the hornes. When the risen Administrative Committee which i will refer to as the r. A. C. Came after the raisins it was the hornes and the hornes only who bore the economic burden of this taking. I thought the growers were paid only for the volume that they were permitted that was permitted the permitted volume and that they were not paid for what goes in the reserve pool . Justice ginsburg that is true in the ordinary coarse. That
Port of entry. What in your overall system today categorically prevents that . So we have a notification system. When we refuse an entry that electronic notification system not only notifies customs and border protection, but all the other fda district offices imports. And so how is that batch tagged indelibly so that that notification is meaningful so that those other ports can identify the same batch were talking about. So as you may be aware, weve been looking working for many years to try to get a marking rule that would provide that marking of the product. That is not in place yet. But right now, we do notifications based off the data that we have on who the importer, is what the commodity line is, and make sure everyone is aware about that shipment was refused. So if they there isnt a set marking rule. So if they change the packaging or any of the markings, they could very possibly get away with what im describing . The system is not foolproof. I agree with you. But we do do noti
