The Obama administration said on Monday that its efforts to combat fraud in the Medicare and Medicaid healthcare programs were paying off as the government recovered a record $4.2 billion in fiscal 2012 from individuals and companies trying to cheat the system.
For every dollar spent investigating healthcare fraud over the past three years, the government recovered $7.90, according to a report released on Monday by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
This was the highest three-year average return on investment in the 16-year history of the federal Health Care Fraud and Abuse Program, the report said.
The Obama administration has stepped up investigations under the program, making the prevention of fraud and waste in healthcare a top priority. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act authorized additional tools to fight fraud, including tougher eligibility screening for Medicare providers, increased data sharing among government agencies and greater oversight of private insurance abuses.
Efforts to curb waste, fraud and abuse are also seen by administration officials as a means to control healthcare spending, as the White House and Congress prepare for the next round of deficit reduction talks.
HCA Holdings Inc, the largest for-profit hospital operator in the United States, said in August that federal authorities were investigating whether heart procedures performed at some of its facilities were medically necessary.
Federal spending for Medicare, Medicaid and other healthcare programs is expected to hit $885 billion this year, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
The $4.2 billion recouped in fiscal 2012 from those attempting to defraud federal healthcare programs, including Medicare for the elderly and Medicaid for the poor, was up from nearly $4.1 billion the year before.
Over the past four years, the administration's enforcement efforts have recovered $14.9 billion, more than double the $6.7 billion recouped over the prior four-year period.

GREENVILLE, Ill. -- The men's basketball team snapped a three-game losing skid with a solid 89-75 win over Eureka Thursday night. The Panthers' (6-4, 2-1 SLIAC) starting unit provided the offensive firepower in the game, headlined by Andy Traeger who posted 24 points. Jonas McBride added 16 points, and Obinna Agomo and K.J. Hilliard each had 15 points.
The Panthers jumped out to a commanding 50-33 lead at halftime, but Eureka (0-11, 0-4) battled back, cutting the deficit to just a few points on several occasions.
Both teams shot 50 percent or better from the floor, but Greenville made 55 percent of its three-point attempts to counter Eureka's 28.6 percent mark.
Rashod Seaton and Hilliard were Greenville's top assist men with five each. McBride added four assists and three steals. Agomo tallied a team-high nine rebounds.
The Panthers return to the floor Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. as they face Principia at 3 p.m.

There's a lot of advice out there for traveling with youngsters, but the folks at hotels.com are wise enough to realize that couples also might benefit from tips on how to vacation together.
Hopefully, this Top 10 list will make for happier, if not blissful, getaways that won't require separate vacations later to recover for all that quality one-on-one time.
Here goes.
Both contribute to the planning: It's important that you both feel like you have a part in the trip's success. Check out all accommodations, take virtual tours and then book it — together.
Work with each other's strengths: During planning, divide the responsibilities to fit each person's personality. One can research the rates; the other can book the rooms.
Pace yourselves: Take time for the leisurely moments and relaxation. Allow extra time in the schedule for lingering at a museum, on the beach or sampling a vineyard's newest harvest.
Communicate: Let your sweetheart know what you're thinking before it's too late to do something about it. It's important to share your needs even if you are used to your partner knowing what they are.
Take time for yourself: It's nice to have "me" time. For instance, one can check out the local village shops while the other takes in a round of golf.
Do not disturb: Be kind to your partner and allow time to sleep in. If you would rather start early, that makes for quality "me" time.
Try something new to both: Doing something for the first time is a great way to bring a couple closer together.
Budgets and splurges: It's important to understand the budget but allow for splurges such as dinner at a romantic restaurant.
Use the hotel concierge: Tell the concierge if your stay is to celebrate an occasion and get tips on how to make it memorable.
You don't have to go far to get away: A staycation is a great way for new couples to test the traveling waters and a good break for couples with children.

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, NY (PRWEB) May 24, 2012
Grant Builds on the Success of Bard's New Citizen Science Program
Bard College has been awarded an $800,000 grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Precollege and Undergraduate Science Education Program (HHMI) to support the College's continuing innovation of science education in the context of the liberal arts. This generous award will fund the creation and implementation of a new model of scientific literacy for undergraduate education. The project builds on the success of Bard's new Citizen Science (CitSci) Program—an intensive introduction to the sciences for all first-year students. With the support of the HHMI grant, an interdisciplinary team of Bard faculty and staff will work to develop a new definition of scientific literacy that can pertain to all college-level students; use this definition to innovate curricula, assessment tools, and faculty training strategies for the CitSci Program and scientific courses for non-science majors; and disseminate their ideas on scientific literacy to other colleges and universities.
During the first year of the HHMI grant, Bard will convene a working group of science and non-science faculty, staff, and students to develop a campus-wide definition of scientific literacy that is both substantive and practical. The primary objective is for every student to gain scientific literacy that will serve as a foundation for a lifetime of engagement with scientific issues. Bard's interdisciplinary team will include: Felicia Keesing, project director and associate professor of biology; Mark Halsey, associate dean of the college and associate professor of mathematics; Michael Tibbetts, associate professor of biology; Brooke Jude, director of CitSci and assistant professor of biology; and Philip Pardi, director of college writing and visiting assistant professor of writing.
In the first year, with the grant's support, the College will hold a conference on undergraduate scientific literacy at its Annandale campus. Participants from across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines who are experts on scientific literacy will be invited to discuss alternative standards and appropriate strategies for scientific literacy for undergraduates. To further foster discussion on scientific literacy among faculty and staff at other institutions, Bard will host symposia at national meetings of major scientific societies, as well as launch a website targeted at college faculty, staff, and administrators that collects resources (including course materials) and references on scientific literacy at the college level.
Bard's CitSci Program was launched in 2011 to develop student awareness of the methods scientists use to conduct scientific investigations. The mandatory, ungraded, immersive three-week course helps students to explore the strengths and weaknesses of these different scientific approaches. The HHMI grant will help to further focus the goals of the CitSci program as well as fund the creation of new positions including postdoctoral fellowships in assessment, curriculum, and teaching.
Over the past decade, Bard College has undertaken a comprehensive initiative, led by its science faculty, aimed at revitalizing science education in a liberal arts context. During this time, the number of science and math faculty has tripled, with the greatest growth in biology, computer science, and math; the faculty have refashioned introductory courses and dramatically expanded the number of research opportunities for undergraduates; and the College has completed a new building, designed by Rafael Viñoly Architects, that houses the biology, chemistry, and computer science departments.
Last April, HHMI invited 215 small colleges and universities in the United States to compete for grants in science education totaling more than $50 million. In May, Bard College was selected as one of the award recipients.
"What happens during the undergraduate years is vital to the development of the student, whether she will be a scientist, a science educator, or a member of society who is scientifically curious and literate. HHMI is investing in these schools because they have shown they are superb incubators of new ideas and models that might be replicated by other institutions to improve how science is taught in college," said Sean B. Carroll, vice president of science education at HHMI. "We know that these schools have engaged faculty. They care deeply about teaching and how effectively their students are learning about science."
Undergraduate Science Education and HHMI
Since 1988, the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) has awarded more than $870 million to 274 colleges and universities to support science education. Those grants have generally been awarded through two separate but complementary efforts, one aimed at undergraduate-focused institutions and the other at research universities. HHMI support has enabled nearly 85,000 students nationwide to work in research labs and developed programs that have helped 100,000 K-12 teachers learn how to teach science more effectively. For more information, visit http://www.hhmi.org.
About Bard College

Day before yesterday i was having some coffee at the best cafè in town, and an olg man came in, ordered 3 coffees to go, chatted a little with the attendants, and left. He was an old, businesslike, conceited little old man. He hauled around the heavy arrogance of a fake power, a power that (who knows) he might even have but is still fake in that it is more important to show it than to use it. The weight of a lifetime of morality and harshness bogged him down (and he likely took it as raising him above the chaff). The lightness of his thin frail bones shone him a mysterious beauty (and he likely took it for his undoing). He reminded me of my father, with all the ambiguity this image had to me, with all the pain that this memory entails. And the memory of my father is still the memory of not being good enough, not being accepted, being left behind and him giving up on me. And this memory is also my shyness, this abandonment the reason i don't feel worthy of love, the reason i don't pursue my desires, that my passion always needs to be justified and rationalized. This is the broken sword of legends. And it is pain.
With tear in my eyes i post this on facebuk, and 16 random people "like" it!

Summer Board Report
Top HeadlinesDate: June 13, 2011
Contact: email@example.com
The Andrews University Board of Trustees convened for their summer meetings June 5–6, using, for the first time, the boardroom of the Lake Union Conference building. Andrews is purchasing the building and according to President Niels-Erik Andreasen, it will be the new headquarters for the Board of Trustees meetings.
The first Board action taken was the reelection of officers of the University and the Board of Trustees. Bylaws require the elections take place within 90 days following the meeting of the constituency; the constituency met in March 2011.
The Board also voted a capital request of $150,000 for windows in Lamson Hall, which is included in the University's capital budget plan.
Larry Schalk, vice president for Financial Administration, reported on operations. The Griggs University transfer is coming along nicely. There has been $1.25 million allocated to cover the cost of the transition. To date, approximately $500,000 of those funds has either been spent or allocated.
Andreasen said, "So far, it looks to be going well and we aren't draining University resources to bring Griggs here."
The budget for the past fiscal year, which ended April 30, was scheduled to end with an increase in net assets of $3.1 million; the preliminary draft is $1.2 million, a shortfall of approximately $1.9 million. "There is still a gain, but a smaller gain than what was budgeted," said Andreasen. Undergraduate tuition was stable while graduate tuition fell behind. Other expenses ran ahead in certain areas including Student Life, plant operations, Human Resources—legal support for incoming international faculty, interest and depreciation.
The line of credit the University uses is $2.5 million less than last year in part because revenue generating sales and services were up. A large portion of the increased revenue is attributed to the Andrews University Press sales of the Andrews Study Bible, which has exceeded $1 million. Less than a year following its release, a second printing of 25,000 copies of the Bible has been procured. A third printing of an inexpensive edition to be used as giveaways by evangelists is also underway. Andreasen said contracts have been signed to translate the Andrews Study Bible into Spanish and Portuguese; another contract has been signed to turn the Andrews Study Bible into a digital medium for use on smartphones and iPads. Andreasen concluded by saying, "The Andrews Study Bible has done very well and is blessing many people."
Andreasen shared a report on construction and fund-raising with the Board. The fund-raising initiative for the Undergraduate Learning Center has raised $8.2 million; there is still about$400,000 needed to reach the goal. Donations for Buller Hall, part of the Undergraduate Learning Center, received during this past fiscal year total $570,000. Those monies will be used to buy back bonds that were issued to borrow money to pay for Buller's construction. University administration expects to have Nethery Hall, the second half of construction for the Undergraduate Learning Center, ready in time for classes resuming in August 2011.
Andreasen shared a report on enrollment projections from Stephen Payne, vice-president for Enrollment Management. Some highlights include freshmen admissions are up 7% and overall, applications are up 34%. Andreasen noted that these numbers could be deceiving because electronic applications make it easier to apply to multiple institutions. Transfers are down slightly and first-time graduate applications are up 29%. Overall, the net for next fall is a 6% enrollment increase.
There was a report from the President's Council. They voted on two items to bring to the Board of Trustees. The first was a recommendation to not ignore the branding value of the Griggs name. Andreasen shared that heavy consideration is being given to renaming the Lake Union Conference building "Griggs Hall."
The second recommendation was in regards to the engineering program. The President's Council felt engineering should hold a strong place in the University's strategic plan and that consideration should be given to establishing a School of Engineering.
Andreasen shared encouraging news from North Central Association. They have given a recommendation to the Higher Learning Commission Board to authorize Andrews to assume ownership of Griggs at the HLC's June meeting.
The Board also discussed the five health professions in the College of Arts & Sciences: medical laboratory sciences, nursing, nutrition & wellness, physical therapy and speech-language pathology & audiology. Each department is doing well, reported Andreasen, but the challenge is each one is working very independently. The Board discussed the possibility of forming a School of Health Professions, which would initially house these five departments. Additional consultation and consideration will take place, and the Board will revisit the issue at a future meeting.
The Board also approved a number of faculty and staff appointments:

It's been nearly two years since Verizon's DroidLanding Twitter account, used to promote new Droid series devices using cheesy robotic language and B-movie quality special effects, has uttered a peep. Today, June 18, is the day we will remember as the day DroidLanding rose again.
We have absolutely no idea what the DroidLanding Twitter account could be preparing for, but you can bet it will be something big. The tweet doesn't reveal any details on what Verizon's working on, but it does assure us that, whatever it is, it'll be going down in true Droid fashion:
Reactivation protocols initiated ::: Systems nearing operational status ::: Stand by for further instructions...DroidLandingTwitter
Could it be as simple as Verizon giving away some phones for the summer? Is it to announce a new Droid device? If so, from whom? Motorola? HTC? Right now, we have more questions than answers. Feel free to speculate on what Verizon has in the works in the comments below. And remember, Droid does.
Update: Verizon has posted a corresponding video to YouTube and game to the Play Store (D:Com) centering around giant mechs. The video shows the mechs in a number of locations across the U.S. and the game puts you at the helm of one of the mechs in a multiplayer augmented reality battle.
- Cadman Plaza in Brooklyn
- Clark Street in Chicago
- The Pier (Santa Monica?)
- Moose Junction (Wyoming? Wisconsin?)
- Douglas Lake in Tennessee

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Darrell Henry Pollard, age 92, of Adrian. Darrell passed away Thursday, Dec. 5, 2013, at the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla.
Darrell was born April 5, 1921, to Iva (Payne) and James Pollard in Terre Haute, Ind. Before leaving to serve in the Army in World War II, he married Alice K. Hampton on Oct. 31, 1943, in Royal Oak, Mich. They did not see one another again until 1946 when Darrell returned from service. His beloved wife of 69 years preceded him in death in October of 2012. Anyone who knew Alice and Darrell could see they were meant to be together.
Darrell graduated from Royal Oak High School in 1939 and from Albion College in 1943. He was the first member of his family to receive a college degree. In 1959, he earned a Ph.D. in American history from the University of Michigan. Darrell's first appointment as an assistant professor of political science was at the Michigan College of Mines, in Sault Ste. Marie. Two years later, he was hired by Albion College as professor and subsequently chair of the political science department. He taught at Albion from 1951 to 1964. In addition to his teaching duties at Albion, Darrell served as president of the Association of American Colleges and Universities for International Studies, and was appointed by Governor Swainson to the Michigan Constitutional Convention Planning Committee. In 1964, he became vice president for academic affairs at Adrian College. During his years in Adrian, he served as president of the Adrian Board of Education; president of Goodwill-LARC Industries; president of Adrian Rotary; arbitrator, mediator and fact finder for the State of Michigan, Public Sector; and assistant superintendent for personnel and labor relations for the Adrian Public Schools. His many achievements earned him a listing in "Who's Who in American Education."
Darrell is survived by his children, Alicia (Gary) Abel of Lake Orion, Mich.; Dennis (Susana) Pollard, Craig (Cyndy) Pollard, both of Ann Arbor; and Leslie (James) Coler of Angola, Ind.; and his grandchildren, Brad Graham of Fremont, Ind.; Scott Graham (Beth) of Ft. Wayne, Ind.; Margaret Radabaugh (Jordan) of Washington, D.C.; Laura Pollard of Wheeling, W.Va.; and Amy Pollard of Denver, Colo. We will all miss his smile, his tears, and his fierce love of life.
A memorial Celebration of Life service for Darrell will be held in the spring at a date and time to be announced, at the First United Methodist Church Memorial Garden.
Darrell H. Pollard

If you think of aloe vera simply as a plant you might keep in your home to soothe sunburn, you're missing out on some of the amazing things this natural ingredient can do for your skin. Aloe vera is so much more than a sunburn soother. You can use it straight from the plant, purchase an aloe gel or find a product line with aloe in them. (ZENMED has lots of options.)
Check out some of the ways aloe vera might solve your skin issues.
Acne – Aloe vera is perfect for those who suffer with acne, even severe acne, because of its ability to naturally soothe irritated skin and reduce redness and inflammation. It also has anti-bacterial properties which will help prevent acne from returning. Use it on your entire face or as a spot treatment to reduce redness and swelling before a big night out.
Anti-Aging – Aloe is packed with anti-aging superstar vitamins and antioxidants. It can also help diminish age spots. Aloe can go deep into the skin's layers, reaching skin before it's even hit the surface. Need a little help with those fine lines around your eyes? Try aloe as an eye cream.
Dry Skin – Believe it or not, Aloe is one of nature's great skin hydrators. As stated above, aloe can go deep into the skin's layers quenching dry skin from deep within. Studies even show that those with psoriasis have great results when treating their skin with aloe.
Skin Irritations – Be it sunburn, bug bites, scratches or burns, applying aloe vera is a simple way to reduce pain and irritation and encourage healing at a faster rate than when left alone. The anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agents to aloe vera also help with wound care.
Feeling tempted? Pure aloe from the plant is best. Aloe vera plants are super easy to grow and can last a long time without water. You can get them at most gardening centers. To get to the gel, simply just cut a piece off of the plant and squeeze the liquid out of the plant.
If you don't want to worry about a plant, the next best thing to purchase is a 100% aloe gel or one with very few ingredients. Ingredients are listed in order of most to least, so be sure that aloe is one of the first ingredients listed. Try keeping it in the refrigerator for even more skin soothing benefits.

RiotSnow was hired by RiotGames in September 21st, 1958. Very little is known about RiotSnow, no one even knows his real name. All that is known about him is that he goes undercover as Steven Snow the VP of production and senior producer at RiotGames but is actually an elite assassin taken on by RiotGames to eliminate the heads of competing companies or other people RiotGames didn't really like. He is an expert marksman, fluent in several languages and has 3 Ph.D's. Rumors have it that RiotSnow was the man who shot Hitler and made it look like a suicide. He also eliminated many others, made so brilliantly to look like accidents or suicides that they will never be recognized as his work.
God DAMN, RiotSnow has bigger balls than fucking James Bond

Let's see…
Due to a situation somewhat beyond my control (the impending birth of my daughter (notice I said somewhat), this was the first time in many, many years that I did not end my year of music with live Phish. Instead, we took things somewhat easy, and drove down to Providence for an early set of the ever-sublime sounds of The Slip (followed by some quality Zamboni action). I enjoyed myself (and my wife tells me the baby had a groove on as well). Meanwhile, friends all over the county were ringing in the new year with Phish, Widespread, moe., the Disco Biscuits, Gov't Mule, Ominous Seapods (I'm hearing fine things about Tood the Pod, I hope to see Max play my way soon) Soup/DBTR and the Dunhams, Deep Banana Blackout, Juggling Suns Miracle Orchestra (I am told the fire juggler was a captivating site indeed), the Big Wu (tough luck with the bust) and many, many more. This is really an exciting time to go out and hear some great sounds, and there is a vibrant scene out there to support it. Let's keep it going over the next year- go check out a band you have heard (or heard about) but haven't seen live yet (I already have two such dates circled on my Calendar for this month- thank you Gamelan Productions for bringing great stuff my way). Beyond that, stick with us this year, we have a number of exciting ideas and some new features. Oh yes, and don't forget to read the ever-crappy Mikey- I pledge that the art will not improve in 99.
later days and peace,

Car Deals
Car Deals: September 2012
As the model year continues to wind down, a growing number of automakers are increasing incentives on inventory in dealer stock. We've rounded up some of the top car deals available in September for shoppers who don't need the passenger room of a minivan, the cargo space of an SUV, or the towing capacity of a pickup.
Chrysler 300
Several generous incentives are available on Chrysler's muscular 300 sedan in September. For buyers interested in financing a 2012 300, Chrysler is advertising zero percent interest for up to 60 months, a good deal on a recently refreshed model. Shoppers looking to lease a 300 will also get a good deal this month, as Chrysler is offering a 39-month lease on its base-level 300 for just $315 per month with $2,999 down. But buyers interested in paying cash for a 300 get arguably the best deal thanks to a generous offer of $4,000 back that applies to all V8s or $3,000 back for all leftover 2012 V6-powered Chrysler 300 models.
Ford Fiesta
Although the subcompact Ford Fiesta is already priced reasonably, shoppers interested in an even better deal can get one in September thanks to incentives from Ford. According to the automaker, qualified shoppers interested in financing a 5-door 2012 Fiesta can get zero percent interest for up to 60 months plus up to $500 cash back. For buyers paying in full, Ford is upping its cash-back offer to $1,000, a good deal for a car that starts around $15,000 including destination. And while there aren't any lease deals on the 5-door Fiesta, Ford says shoppers interested in leasing a 4-door Fiesta sedan can do so with $1,758 due at signing and a monthly payment of just $189 for 24 months.
Honda Accord
With a new Accord on the way, Honda is increasing incentives on 2012 models to clear out remaining inventory. In September, that means several great deals for shoppers interested in financing or leasing. For qualified buyers looking to finance a 2012 Accord, Honda is offering interest rates as low as 0.9 percent for up to 60 months, or 1.9 percent for up to 72 months. Lease customers also get a great deal, with monthly payments starting at $199 for a base-level Accord LX sedan after $1,999 at signing, or just $20 per month more for an upscale Accord EX. Honda is also touting several zero-down lease deals, advertising 36-month terms with payments starting at just $250 per month.
Toyota Camry
Toyota's recently redesigned Camry is available with several incentives this month as the automaker prepares for the 2013 model year. While Toyota is offering an attractive 24-month lease with $1,999 down and $189 due at signing, the best deal is for shoppers interested in financing the midsize sedan. That's because the Camry is available to qualified buyers with interest rates as low as zero percent for up to 36 months, or 0.9 percent for up to 60 months--a rare deal on a brand new model like the 2012 Camry.
Volkswagen GTI
Volkswagen's sporty GTI hatchback is available with several special offers in September. According to the automaker, lease customers interested in a 2012 GTI can get payments of just $279 per month for 36 months after $1,999 at signing, an offer that jumps to $299 per month for the 2013 GTI. Volkswagen is also offering the 2012 GTI with low interest rates to qualified customers, boasting zero percent interest for up to 60 months on all remaining 2012 GTI models through the end of September. Like the GTI but don't need the speed? Base-level Golf hatchbacks are also available with zero percent interest for up to 60 months in September, or lease rates starting at just $199 per month for a 3-door model.

What it means to you: Most automakers are offering car deals this month to help clear out inventory before 2013 models arrive.

The Breitbart GatewayPundit Daily Caller
assholes right away? Rightwing Nazis fear being martyrs to their
Accused NJ white supremacists sentenced for attack on Egyptian men
NEWARK, New Jersey (Reuters) - Two accused white supremacists were
sentenced on Wednesday to prison terms for beating two men of
Egyptian descent while shouting anti-Arab slurs at them on New
Year's Eve 2011 in central New Jersey.
The men are members of Aryan Terror Brigade and plotted the attack
during a holiday "meet and greet" party where they drank alcohol
and listened to white supremacist music, U.S. Attorney Paul
Fishman said in a statement.
U.S. District Judge Joel Pisano sentenced one of the men, Michal
Gunar, to 33 months in prison and the other, Kyle Powell, to 15
months in prison. Gunar, 29, of East Windsor, New Jersey, pleaded
guilty in April to committing a hate crime assault and conspiracy
to do so.
Powell, 24, of West Collingswood, New Jersey, pleaded guilty in
January to conspiracy to commit a hate crime assault.
The men faced up to 10 years in prison on the assault charges and
5 years on the conspiracy charges.
With a third man, Christopher Ising, 31, of Waretown, New Jersey,
they drove to an apartment complex in Sayreville intending to
randomly assault non-white individuals, the prosecutor said.
Brandishing a knife, Gunar attacked two Egyptian men, pulling one
of them from a car and punching him in the face and head, causing
injuries, Fishman said. Ising assaulted one of the victims with
brass knuckles, prosecutors said.
Two days after the attack, Powell received an ATB tattoo on his
left arm symbolizing his acceptance into the international hate
group with several hundred members, the largest concentration of
whom live in New Jersey, prosecutors said.
"This office takes extremely seriously allegations of violence,
threats and vandalism against Arab-Americans, Muslims and others
threatened because of their race, religion, nationality, sex or
orientation," U.S. Attorney spokeswoman Rebekah Carmichael said in
an emailed statement.
Powell's lawyer, Paulette Pitt, thanked the judge for the lenient
"We appreciate the thought that Judge Pisano took in imposing a
sentence that balanced the serious nature of the offense against
the mitigating factors of Kyle's comparatively minor role and his
personal background," Pitt said in an emailed statement.
Ising, a purported member of another white supremacist group, the
Atlantic City Skins, pleaded guilty in February to the same
charges as Gunar. His sentencing is scheduled for Friday.

I wish I could say walkers are the only things I have killed. I wish I could say a lot of things, but none of them would be true.

Sometimes, if our pets are sick or injured and we take them into the veterinarian, we are so nervous or tense that we forget to ask all the right questions. Once we've settled down (usually when we are back at home), we realize that there are certain things we need to know or get clarified for us. Here is a short list to take with you. It is important to understand everything about your animal's illness or injury so you'll be able to take care of him properly when you get home.
Remember that your veterinarian and his/her staff are there to help you and that you and your pet are their primary interest. Don't ever be afraid to ask questions.
If you have been given a prescription medication for your pet, be sure you understand dosage instructions. It should be on the bottle, but sometimes prescription bottles are hard to decipher or understand for the lay person.
Make sure you understand the name of the medication, what it was given for and the strength of the medication. These may seem like simple questions, but you never know if you may have to explain this on the phone to another hospital or your own veterinarian's office.
Ask if there are any common side effects. Is it given as needed or at certain times of the day? Is it given with food? Do you have to get up in the night to give it? What side effects are there (e.g. urinating a lot, drinking a lot of water)?
Specific disease or injury
If it is an injury that involves a bandage, make sure to ask how often the bandage should be changed and if you can do it yourself or if it needs to be done by veterinary staff. Some bandages are very complicated.
Is exercise restriction involved? How strict? Can you let your dog out into the yard? Or do you have to restrict him to leash walks only? Is he to play with other animals? Should you confine him to a cage or crate? Will he need to be exercised more often?
Anything special you should know about at-home care? Can he eliminate on his own? Is there anything specific you should watch for?
Make sure to ask what the prognosis (outcome) is. Is it curable? Will it come back or can you prevent it (e.g., pancreatitis from too much "people food")?
Is there a special diet your pet has to follow? Can you get it at any pet store, make it at home (like a rice/ground beef mixture) or is it only available at your veterinarian's?
Is this disease or injury common in your pet's breed or size?
Other animals or people
Is this disease contagious to other pets? Can humans get it? If yes to either question, what can you do to prevent it?
Will other animals treat your pet differently because of the disease? Will he smell differently to them, so should you separate them?
Also make sure your veterinarian can be reached in the event of an emergency or that his staff tells you whom to call.

28 U.S. Code § 2414 - Payment of judgments and compromise settlements
Except as provided by chapter 71 of title 41, payment of final judgments rendered by a district court or the Court of International Trade against the United States shall be made on settlements by the Secretary of the Treasury. Payment of final judgments rendered by a State or foreign court or tribunal against the United States, or against its agencies or officials upon obligations or liabilities of the United States, shall be made on settlements by the Secretary of the Treasury after certification by the Attorney General that it is in the interest of the United States to pay the same.
Whenever the Attorney General determines that no appeal shall be taken from a judgment or that no further review will be sought from a decision affirming the same, he shall so certify and the judgment shall be deemed final.
Except as otherwise provided by law, compromise settlements of claims referred to the Attorney General for defense of imminent litigation or suits against the United States, or against its agencies or officials upon obligations or liabilities of the United States, made by the Attorney General or any person authorized by him, shall be settled and paid in a manner similar to judgments in like causes and appropriations or funds available for the payment of such judgments are hereby made available for the payment of such compromise settlements.

Similar provisions of section 228 of title 31, U.S.C., 1940 ed., relating to judgments of the court of claims are incorporated in section 2517 of this title.
The second paragraph was added to make clear that the payment of judgments not appealed may be expedited by certificate to that effect.
Changes were made in phraseology.
2011—Pub. L. 111–350 substituted "chapter 71 of title 41" for "the Contract Disputes Act of 1978" in first par.
1996—Pub. L. 104–316 in first par. substituted "Secretary of the Treasury" for "General Accounting Office" in two places.

Amendment by Pub. L. 95–563 effective with respect to contracts entered into 120 days after Nov. 1, 1978, and, at the election of the contractor, with respect to any claim pending at such time before the contracting officer or initiated thereafter, see section 16 of Pub. L. 95–563, Nov. 1, 1978, 92 Stat. 2391, formerly set out as an Effective Date note under section 601 of former Title 41, Public Contracts.

Fiona Ellis is a regular contributor to Twist Collective.This issue, she designed the lovely Paisley, and authored the companion article about the fascinating history of paisley. Today, she shares her tips for knitting on the road, something she does a lot of! All of us at Twist are also inviting you to share your knitting adventures and travel tales with us.
One of the aspects of my work is that I get to travel quite a lot, but this spring I have been accompanying my husband while he is on a cross North America extravaganza with his company. As this is mostly a driving tour I have had gobs of time to knit. I have several projects on the go, including a new design for the fall issue of Twist, so I have not been at all bored spending these long hours in the car.
There are logistics to be considered to be able to work on the road like this though. Shipping yarn to hotels has not been a problem thanks to excellent courier services. The wide availability of the Internet means I can work remotely just as I usually do. Five to seven un-interrupted hours to knit means I can get several inches done -- but also requires that I have already precisely figured out the pattern and shaping. Roadside stops to eat and answer the call of nature provide me with the opportunity to check my work, measure the piece and grab more yarn from the trunk.
From many previous trips on planes I already have a small project grab bag that contains my essential tools, including a small package of dental floss, which has multiple applications: it can be used for life-lines, as a stitch holder and also has an airplane friendly cutter. My knitting bag of choice has been the Twist Tote; boy does that thing hold a lot of yarn! I love the outer pockets for bottles of water and snacks (note from the bloglady- these totes are not currently available- but we have lots of cute lil Twist tape measures. They come in handy, whatever sort of bag you carry your projects in).
I thought I would share with you the most spectacular spot that I have taken it to so far: Hoosier Pass in Colorado. On the Continental Divide and an elevation of 11,539 feet, I think this is the highest I have been on knitting, excluding on an airplane of course.
The knitting peeking out is the new project for the fall issue and you can't quite see it here but I am working on a pair of 4mm Signature Needles.
So the question for you is: Where in the world do you Twist? Whether it's your own backyard or a place you travelled to, we want to know where you take your Twist projects, and where they take you!
Tweet your photos of your latest projects (and/or totes and tape measures) out in the world @twistcollective, or post them on our Facebook page. Happy knitting, and happy travelling!

(BPT) – Cold and flu season is on its way, often marking its arrival with that first throat tickle, before exploding into a hacking cough.
Coughing is a natural reaction to an airway irritant, the body's attempt to expel foreign substances, or a symptom indicating an underlying medical condition. A cough is a familiar symptom of a wide range of conditions – from the common cold to bronchitis. Identifying the type and cause of your cough will help you determine treatment and get you on the fast track to kicking your cough.
Types of coughs
Coughs fall under two categories: productive and nonproductive.
Productive (also known as wet) coughs produce phlegm or mucus that comes up from the lungs or drains down the back of the throat. A wet cough can be a symptom of the common cold, influenza, bronchitis and even pneumonia.
"For symptoms associated with illnesses such as the common cold or flu, coughing helps remove mucus and irritants from your lungs and airways," says Dr. Brian M. Levine, general practitioner and cough specialist from Southern California. "So it's best not to suppress these coughs."
Nonproductive (also known as dry) coughs do not produce phlegm or mucus, and can make your airways, throat or chest sore, causing discomfort and disrupting sleep. This type of cough can be a cold and flu symptom but is also often a result of asthma or allergies.
"A person suffering from asthma generally experiences a dry, non-productive cough," says Levine. "Allergy coughs, due to the constriction of airways by pollutants such as pollen, cigarette smoke or animal dander, are very similar to asthma."
Chronic cough is a cough that lasts longer than six to eight weeks, which can cause physical problems such as damage to the vocal cords, rupture of small blood vessels in the airway, fainting spells, hernias or even broken ribs.
"A long-lasting cough may be the sign of an underlying condition, such as asthma, postnasal drip or gastroesophageal reflux disease," says Levine. "Depending on the cause of the chronic cough, treatment may include antihistamine allergy medications, inhaled asthma medicine, antacids or antibiotics. A cough lasting for several weeks can also be an indicator of whooping cough, which is a highly contagious condition characterized by intense coughing that can lead to breathing restrictions, dry heaving, and vomiting. If a cough lasts for more than a few weeks, a physician should be consulted."
"There's a wide selection of over-the-counter treatments available to help ease coughing symptoms," says Levine. "Expectorants, such as guaifenesin, thin the mucus blocking the airways making it easier to cough up, relieving chest congestion. Dry coughs can be treated with a cough suppressant, such as dextromethorphan, which simply lessens the urge to cough promoting comfort and better sleeping. I recommend many of the 'store-brand' cough medications at leading retailers and pharmacies, such as Tussin cough syrups and guaifenesin. These products are regulated by the FDA and use comparable active ingredients, but cost significantly less than the brand names."
Perrigo is a Michigan-based pharmaceutical company that manufactures and distributes most of the over-the-counter medications sold under store-brand labels at leading national retailers, club stores, grocers and pharmacies. According to Perrigo, these products are the primary treatments available over-the-counter for cough:
* Wet cough relief: Guaifenesin (compare to: Mucinex), Tussin cough syrups that are labeled as containing an expectorant such as guaifenesin (compare to: Robitussin)
* Dry cough relief: Dextromethorphan (compare to: Delsym), Nite Time and Day Time products that are labeled as containing a cough suppressant such as dextromethorphan (compare to: NyQuil and DayQuil)
"If you continue to cough for a prolonged period of time, your respiratory symptoms have worsened, or you have difficulty breathing, I suggest scheduling an appointment with your doctor immediately, so he or she may evaluate you and suggest the best course of treatment for your situation," Levine says.

Ganosh Gourmet needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 132 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
Ganosh Gourmet
After 30+ years in the workplace, I have had my fill of institutional food (free and not worth it) and expensive restaurant food (plain old not worth it). I have started a company, Ganosh Gourmet, that will deliver pre-ordered, pre-paid custom meals to your home or office, a service I wish I had during my previous working life!
Good food can taste delicious and come from local sources, and still not cost a fortune. My concept is that Ganosh Gourmet can provide delicious food, help you stay within your budget and diet, and give you back precious time. Beginning with office lunches, I plan to branch into dinners, special meals for dietary plans, pre-packed school lunches, and a wholesale business selling prepared foods to deli counters, grocery stores, and food trucks.
I live in a small town, 26,000 people, which is also associated with a large military base, in southern California. It is a captive market, having a large retired population who do not leave town much and about 80,000 commuters into town a day. It includes a blend of tourists, young people, military, the hip and the healthy. The audience cares that the food is fresh and local, inexpensive, convenient, has a "street food and comfort food" slant, and that a portion of profits will be donated back to the community. The town also likes to support locally-owned businesses.
Southern California has always been health-oriented. With the recent economic downturn, people are working more, not less, and at the time they need to the most, they have less time to cook healthy meals or shop for fresh food.
Target market is 25-65, working, emphasis on healthy and budget-minded, convenience, computer-literate (ordering and payment will be by computer) people who like their food to be fun! Ganosh Gourmet removes the obstacles to eating healthy, delicious food within a budget, including those days when people are "too busy" to cook or even to eat, and makes eating fun again.
Ganesh (or Ganesha) is the elephant-faced Hindu deity who is worshiped as the remover of obstacles. To "nosh" is a Yiddish word for eat a little something, or snack. The name Ganosh is a combination of the two, the logo should be a Ganesha figure, happy and smiling, holding a knife and fork (or spoon) in two of his four hands, having a "nosh". He can also be holding other food objects in his other two hands. Ganosh is not exclusively Indian food, so it may help to have a piece of fruit, drinking cup or other food item in his hands to clarify. The mouse under the elephant is not necessary, trunk can be straight or curved, elephant can face front or sideways.
If you look at Ganesha figures, you will see the gamut. Do not feel constrained- can be abstract, primitive, detailed, etc.... I plan to use the logo on food labels, letterhead, business cards and the website. The logo should have both words "Ganosh Gourmet."
Bright colors welcome, I want a happy feeling. I am open to comments that support a design such as "Stick to something that won't require complex printing process for a logo".

Jon Cooper gets win in NHL coaching debut and Lightning slip past Devils in shootout 5-4
TAMPA, Fla. – Alex Killorn scored with 15.1 seconds left in the third period and Tampa Bay won 5-4 in a shootout over the New Jersey Devils to give new Lightning coach Jon Cooper a victory in his NHL debut on Friday night.
The Lightning pulled even at 4 when Killorn scored from the right circle. Teddy Purcell and Victor Hedman scored for Tampa Bay in the shootout.
Cooper was hired as the eighth coach in Lightning history Monday, one day after the team announced the firing of Guy Boucher. Cooper had been coaching Syracuse of the AHL, Tampa Bay's top minor league team.
Steven Stamkos scored his 24th and 25th goals this season and added an assist for the Lightning. Nate Thompson had the other Tampa Bay goal.
The Devils got goals from Andrei Loktionov, Tom Kostopoulos, Andy Greene and Ryan Carter.
After blowing a two-goal lead, Greene's power-play goal put the Devils up 3-2 with 6:02 left in the second. Carter's short-handed goal made it 4-2 at 2:39 of the third.
Stamkos cut the Lightning deficit to 4-3 on his second goal of the game at 7:11 of the third.
The Devils took a 2-0 lead in the second when Loktionov (5:50) and Kostopoulos (6:41) scored 51 seconds apart. Kostopoulos stopped a personal 30-game goal drought, dating back to Feb. 25, 2012, against Philadelphia — when he beat Mathieu Garon on a penalty shot.
The Lightning tied it at 2 midway through the second on goals by Stamkos (8 minutes) and Thompson (10:26).
Stamkos scored when he swatted a waist-high rebound into the net after Martin Brodeur made a strong save on the Lightning center. Thompson's goal came after he got through two New Jersey defenders and had a rebound of his own shot go off his leg and past Brodeur.
Brodeur late in the second got a piece of Cory Conacher's point-blank shot that also hit the post.
NOTES: New Jersey activated LW Alexei Ponikarovsky (lower body) from injured reserved. He sat out three games. ... Devils D Bryce Salvador (lower body) and C Stephen Gionta (upper body), who were both hurt in Monday's 3-2 shootout loss to Ottawa, played. ... Lightning D Andrej Sustr made his NHL debut. ... The Devils' top minor league team, Albany of the AHL, signed LW Reid Boucher and D Jon Merrill to amateur tryout agreements.

It is playtest season here at Tennis Warehouse! Which means we are furiously playtesting new racquets daily! Which brings about this week's question for my fellow playtesters,

Become a Kindergarten & Elementary School Teacher
Kindergarten and elementary school teachers specialize in preparing young children for future schooling and largely for the world in general. They lead students through a critical period of development when they must learn the fundamentals of reading, writing, math, science and other subjects to get an understanding for how these elements will fit into their lives in the future.
Moreover, it's up to these teachers to observe, evaluate and report about particular students' learning habits, strengths and weaknesses. While it's up to the teacher to help students understand the material, its also important they recognize who may be struggling and why. On a broader level, kindergarten and elementary school teachers are responsible for maintaining proper classroom decorum and teaching children how to behave inside and outside the classroom.
In all states, school teachers must have a bachelor's degree as well as a state-issued certification or license, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics[i]. While online courses may help prepare you for exams you must pass to receive licensing, they are also beneficial for learners with busy lifestyles. Many online courses can be taken at your convenience and can be structured to fit your schedule. They also make attending class easier by reducing the need to commute.

I am a 25 year old graphic designer Emil Guseinov. I live in Tallinn which is a capital of a small european country called Estonia. My first design attempts were made for my own party when I needed a flyer for it. I had no time and money too get a designer so I told myself "Why shouldn't I try it ?" and I got my first software to start with. After 40 hours working in Adobe PS CS3 my flyer was done. I was really impressed by what I did and then I thought – that is what I want to do in future. After a year or so I quit my job and started learning graphic design deeper.
Today I work mostly on movie posters and companies' logotypes. Off course it does not mean that I'm not willing to work on other projects. So feel free to contact me. You are always welcome.

Center of Colombian government is the Plaza Bolivar in downtown Bogota. This is the equivalent of the Washington DC area in the USA. The presidential palace is behind the senate building with the flag. I wanted to take a 360 panorama inside the church but it was closed. Maybe next time.
