  • How to find information on republican primary voting numbers per precinct in my Texas state house district 67?

    I'm trying to find numbers in regards to voters per precinct in my state district. It's Texas state house district 67. I found my district map here: http://gis1.tlc.state.tx.us/ (H358) --> and outlined the precincts as well for my district. I had a hard time finding this information on the internet for some reason, however, now I'm looking for the number of republican primary voters for each precinct and have no idea where to find this information.

  • Medicare license, $68,000!?

    I'm confused. I'm in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in Texas, I called a healthcare consulting service in regards to initial consulting and she mentioned that the fee to provide Medicare services if I wanted to pursue a home health agency providing med/non-med care would be $68,000 in my region??

    The license fee for the administrative license is $1,750 for TX which is reasonable, but I never ever heard a fee of $68,000!

    Does anyone know the process or have an idea how I can become medicare certified?

    I know I have to fill out the CMS 855 app through my DADs website along with the administrative license application. But, I'm curious about the cost now all of a sudden.

    I can't find any info on medicare licensing fees etc

  • Question about becoming a Foreign Service Officer?

    I understand the process is quite rigorous and a little different when comparing Foreign Service Officers and Foreign Service Specialists (Healthcare, IT specialists etc).

    My question is if I were to become a Foreign Service Specialist as a clinician can one transition to a foreign service officer as a political officer or would you have to take the exam and do the whole oral assessment process etc?

    Thanks

  • Army National Guard Infantry Officer to Marine Intelligence?

    If one were to serve 6 years as an infantry officer in the national guard - let's say receives rank of 1st lieutenant at the end of their contract - will they be demoted in rank when the contract is up and plan on transitioning to a marine intelligence officer? Considering branch move and different field? I know that's prevalent in some cases - some insight would be greatly appreciated

  • Didn't receive confirmation email, but got a confirmation receipt with registration number?

    Then I went into my GRE account to try to print admission ticket, I doubt I need it for the new online-based one, but I tried doing it and typed in my registration number, but it didn't have anything on record.....

    Is there a problem. This is the ets.org website where you can register for the GRE for prometric testing centers. The cost was $185 and I received no email and can't get an admission ticket - I just want to know if my thing is really on file if I registered for it. I saved the confirmation picture.

    Does the email get sent later on? It should be right away I assume like most other things

  • Military promotions and rank question?

    Hypothetically, if one were to join as an infantry officer reserves - I'm not sure which branch allows that I believe National Guard or Army. Anyways if one commissions as a 2nd Lt obviously while being a physician assistant in the civilian world and serves 6 or 8 years in the reserves - when their contract is up leaving as Captain hypothetically. After their 8 year contract if one transitions into the military as a physician assistant now considering they were one in the civilian world - the commissioning rank is 2nd Lt, but my question is will your Captain rank from infantry carry on as a PA in the military due to previous infantry exp.

    Even if it's from another branch. National Guard to Army. Would you lose promotion from Captain - 2nd Lt?

  • gay marriage question?

    People say keep federal government out of defining marriage since they gave that right up to the states a while back, and 9 current states define it legal, but obviously individuals are denied federal benefits. If the majority opinion is put in place, it would have to only apply to those 9 states due to the simple fact that the law will interfere with State's rights to define gay marriage which are the 41 remaining states. Considering that, the court will rule that it will only apply to those 9 current states, which is quite conflicting considering if one were to move to a state that doesn't define gay marriage legal, they won't receive federal benefits. Leave it up to the states, and throughout time society will determine it's course just like it has with marijuana recently, once domestic commerce increases other states will tend to follow. Also, this isn't necessarily a conservative view anyways because a state like Colorado tends to be conservative, yet legalizes marijuana for recreational use. The same can happen for gay marriage over time.

    My question is - even if the court denies to define gay marriage for federal benefits and leaves it up to states , what about at some point if all 50 states in the future legally define gay marriage - will gay couples EVER receive federal benefits compared to heterosexual couples?
