PLOVER, WI (WTAQ) - A man killed after busting into the home of a Portage County sheriff's detective in Plover was identified Monday as 30-year-old Charles Jameson of Stevens Point.
Plover Police said detective Anthony Gischia returned home with another person early Saturday, when the intruder confronted them. Jameson was then shot and killed during a scuffle.
Officials said the intruder knew Gischia and his companion. Police did not say who fired the fatal shot. That information will apparently come after the state Justice Department completes its investigation.
The state was brought in under a new law signed less than a month ago, which requires officer-involved deaths to be probed by an outside agency.
The Plover death was among two during the weekend in which state criminal agents were called to investigate. The other one happened early Sunday, when Madison Police killed a woman who reportedly refused to do what officers told her to do.

MADISON (WSAU-Wheeler News) A Wisconsin Senate committee will hold a public hearing Wednesday on a bill to expand the use of crossbows by deer hunters. The Assembly unanimously passed the measure in June. It would let hunters of all legal ages and abilities use crossbows for hunting deer.
A separate license would be issued for crossbow hunting, with a season to run at the same time as the current archery season. The Senate Natural Resources Committee will hear testimony on Wednesday morning. If it's endorsed, the full Senate could vote on the measure next month.
Several major groups support the bill including the N-R-A, the Hunters Rights Coalition, The Wisconsin Wildlife Federation, and the state's Crossbow Federation.

NORFOLK--After much debate, one of three bald eagle nests at the Norfolk Botanical Garden will be removed.
The announcement Tuesday came after meetings that included representatives of the USDA Wildlife Services and other federal, state and local agencies.
In the end, it was recommended to the city of Norfolk, which owns the land, to remove the nests, which have been watched around the world on the live WVEC.com Eagle Cam.
In the last 10 years, four bald eagles have been struck and killed by aircraft landing at Norfolk International Airport. The USDA identified bald eagles as "an extremely high" hazard risk to aircraft.
The FAA also said, based on information from US Fish and Wildlife Service, Va. Dept. of Game and Inland Fisheries and USDA Wildlife Services that "there is no compelling conservation reason to protect the nest at Norfolk Botanical Garden."
The agencies cited concerns for the safety of the flying public and bald eagles.
Norfolk has filed for the necessary federal and state permits to remove them. No date for the removal has been set, although they must be removed by next nesting season, City spokeswoman Lori Crouch told WVEC.com.
She added that the nest would likely be removed in the next few months, before mating season.
"DGIF, one of our earlier partners in the project, told us that Norfolk's Eagle Cam was one of the first massively-viewed wildlife webcams on the internet, and there have been many similar webcams established in the past few years. We know our cam has had many dedicated fans around the world who enjoyed watching our family of eagles over the years, and we're exploring the options for something similar," says WVEC.com's Director of Digital Media Pete McElveen.
He said the decision means that WVEC's seven-year Eagle Cam partnership with Norfolk Botanical Garden has ended, as it appears unlikely that there will be a nesting pair of eagles at the Garden next year. "We hope to work with NBG on other worthy projects in the future," said McElveen.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (June 5, 2013) – Three Rutgers teams – football, women's golf and women's lacrosse - received public recognition from the NCAA for top academic performance for their multi-year Academic Progress Rate scores, the NCAA announced. It marked the sixth consecutive year that the Scarlet Knights' football program was cited by the NCAA.
These awards are given each year to teams scoring in the top 10 percent in each sport with their APRs.
The Rutgers football program was the lone state university on the list to be ranked in the top 10 percent nationally in APR for the sixth straight year. The Scarlet Knights continue to be one of the leaders nationally in both production on the field and in the classroom. Last year, Rutgers football was ranked ninth nationally in Academic Progress Rate, after placing number two in 2011 and number one in 2010.
Rutgers is one of only 13 Football Bowl Subdivision programs to be ranked in the top 10 percent in the APR scores.
The Scarlet Knights captured the BIG EAST Championship in 2012 under BIG EAST Coach of The Year Kyle Flood and earned their seventh bowl bid in eight years en route to a 9-4 (5-2 BIG EAST) record. Twenty-eight players earned BIG EAST All-Academic honors and eight were cited on the All-BIG EAST squad, including two-time Defensive Player of the Year Khaseem Greene (Elizabeth, N.J.). In April, Rutgers had a school-record seven players selected in the NFL Draft.
"Our program strives for excellence every day," said Flood. "I am proud that our student-athletes continue to achieve in the classroom and on the field. Jenna Beverly and our academic staff have built a support system that allows our players to be the class of college football."
Women's golf, under the leadership of 21st-year head coach Maura Ballard, had several top finishes in 2012-13. The Scarlet Knights placed tied for 2nd at the 15-team Bucknell Invitational, second at the 21-entry Rutgers Invitational and sixth at the 14-team Brown Bear Invitational. Individually, senior team captain Brittany Weddell (Buzzards Bay, Mass.) had seven top 15, four top 10 and three top five finishes in 10 tournaments while boasting a 76.52 scoring average.
"Our team's APR is a direct result of the dedication of both our student-athletes and our academic support staff," said Ballard. "Academics are a priority. It's very important to me that our team excels both on the course and in the classroom."
Women's lacrosse put together its fourth-straight winning season in 2013 under 11th-year head coach Laura Brand-Sias, compiling a 9-8 record. The season was highlighted by Brand-Sias notching her 100th career win against Monmouth on March 2. The Scarlet Knights were led defensively by senior goalie Lily Kalata (Nesconset, N.Y.), who earned Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) All-American Third Team Honors. Offensively, junior midfielder Katrina Martinelli (Moorestown, N.J.) was named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team as she paced Rutgers in points (45), goals (35) and assists (10).
"I am extremely proud of our student-athletes' academic accomplishments," said Brand-Sias. "A huge thank you goes out to our academic support staff and all they do for our program. It is a great honor to continue a successful representation of the core values of not only Rutgers women's lacrosse, but Rutgers Athletics as a whole."
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
Multiyear APRs for all Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition, will be announced June 11.

Huge blogosphere blowout over 2 criminal law article series
In case everyone has missed it, there have been 2 criminal justice related series in 2 different newspapers that have been just outrageous in the manner in which they explore the criminal justice system.
The San Jose Mercury News has written one thoroghly exhaustive series about the criminal justice system in San Jose which excoriates just about everyone in the system for failings that have led to serious injustices.
The St. Petersburg (FL) Times has written a 3 part series that I'm far less fond of where they follow around a baby Public Defender as he starts his career in the office. I'm less fond of this one because the PD in question is hardly a stellar example of PDs that we hire, in my office, at least. This one looked to the PDs office as a last resort, and said in his interview that he wanted the job because the prosecutors weren't hiring. Some of his co-workers are serious prosecution tools, who make it their business to please prosecutors wherever possible (just like our clients accuse us). The word I've heard from a PD from a nearby Florida county, and who used to work in that office in Tampa, is that the head PD is a pretty pathetic PD, pays his lawyers very little, is always looking for new people because they burn people out so quickly, and generally don't have very high standards of representation. Evidently the top person has surrounded himself with many former prosecutors as his fellow supervisors (not exactly an office full of people dedicated to the "mission").
This is diametrically opposed to the bulk of the PDs that I know. In my area, PD turnover is very low, people stay on the job for decades because it is highly fulfilling, and the jobs are highly coveted, with hundreds of applicants per position. Also, we are paid the same as prosecutors.
These articles have received extensive attention on several of the other public defender blogs, only a few of which I have actually perused up to now, but you can clearly find more starting with these (2 of which - Blonde Justice & Skelly Wright's Arbitrary & Capricious - are my favorites). Read Skelly's take here, and Blonde's take here. Also check out Tom McKenna's blog, Seeking Justice, and his post here. Political blog Transparent Grid (who also appears to work in the criminal justice field, but I haven't read enough of his stuff to find out exactly how) also has a post about the series. Finally, group that I haven't yet given a huge shoutout to (note the yet), the PD investigator (they can make or break your case) is represented on PD Investigator blog with a great post here.
All of these sites, and others of course, are really burning up over these 2 news series. Go read the series, read the commentaries, comment back here and elsewhere. I'm curious about all different views that come back, from fellow PDs, but equally from law enforcement, prosecutors (like Patterico, where are you commenting on this stuff, or have you already and I just didn't notice it) and all other members of society. What do you all think about the actual construction of law enforcement now that you have some details. Are you satisfied? Do you want it done differently? Whaddya think?

PHOENIX (AP) - Bells are expected to ring across Tucson two years to the minute after a mentally ill gunman opened fire at a supermarket where Rep. Gabrielle Giffords was meeting with constituents.
Tuesday morning's commemoration comes against the backdrop of a national gun control debate that has flared since last month's mass school shooting in Connecticut.
Giffords and her husband have called for greater gun control efforts, and they are doing an interview on ABC in which will they will talk about the legacy of the shooting.
A gun control advocate is also holding a weapon buyback in Tucson on the day of the anniversary.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - A 53-year-old motorcyclist rear-ended a sedan stopped in heavy traffic in Loma Portal Tuesday and suffered serious injuries, police said.
Police blocked off Rosecrans Street at Evergreen Street and Lytton Street and conducted traffic control on nearby roads during an investigation.
The motorcyclist reportedly was headed south in the left lane on Rosecrans Street during stop-and-go traffic about 6:45 a.m., San Diego police Officer Dan Lasher said. When southbound traffic stopped near Lytton Street, the motorcyclist struck the back of a 2001 Saturn, he said.
The rider suffered multiple broken ribs and a broken hip, Lasher said. He was taken to a hospital and was expected to recover.
Lasher said the sedan's occupants were not injured.

You're biking up a hill, pedaling as hard as you can. You're almost there and — what's this? Your back is all wet and so is your face. Don't sweat it — it's only sweat!
Your body works best when its temperature is about 98.6ºF (37ºC). When your body gets hotter than that, your brain doesn't like it — it wants your body to stay cool and comfortable. So the part of your brain that controls temperature, called the hypothalamus (say: hy-po-thal-uh-mus), sends a message to your body, telling it to sweat.
Then special glands in your skin called — what else? — sweat glands start making sweat. Sweat is also known as perspiration (say: pur-spuh-ray-shun), and it is made almost completely of water, with tiny amounts of other chemicals like ammonia (say: uh-mown-yuh), urea (say: yoo-ree-uh), salts, and sugar. (Ammonia and urea are left over when your body breaks down protein.)
The sweat leaves your skin through tiny holes called pores. When the sweat hits the air, the air makes it evaporate (this means it turns from a liquid to a vapor). As the sweat evaporates off your skin, you cool down.
Sweat is a great cooling system, but if you're sweating a lot on a hot day or after playing hard you could be losing too much water through your skin. Then you need to put liquid back in your body by drinking plenty of water so you won't get dehydrated (say: dee-hi-drayt-ed).
Sweat isn't just wet — it can be kind of stinky, too. But the next time you get a whiff of yourself after running around outside and want to blame your sweat glands, hold on!
Sweat by itself doesn't smell at all. It's the bacteria that live on your skin that mix with the sweat and give it a stinky smell. And when you reach puberty, special hormones affect the glands in your armpits — these glands make sweat that can really smell.
Luckily, regular washing with soap and water can usually keep stinky sweat under control. Many teens and adults also find that wearing deodorant (say: dee-oh-der-ent) or antiperspirant (say: an-tee-pur-sper-ent) helps.
So don't worry about a little sweat — it's totally normal and everybody sweats. Sometimes too much sweating can be a sign that there is something wrong in the body, but this is rare in kids. If you notice more sweat, it's usually just a sign that it's time to start using a deodorant or antiperspirant. But if you think you have a sweat problem, talk to your parent or your doctor about it.

Can Taking Aspirin During Pregnancy Make Your Son Infertile?
The Scoop
For moms-to-be expecting boys, a study suggests that taking common over-the-counter pain medications during pregnancy may dramatically increase their sons' risk for developing undescended testicles (cryptorchidism), a condition known to contribute to poor semen quality later in life.
Published November 8, 2010, in the journal Human Reproduction, researchers in Denmark asked over 2,000 women to recall how frequently they used ibuprofen, paracetamol, or aspirin, or a combination of the drugs, during pregnancy. According to their findings, taking pain medication for any length of time doubled the risk for a boy baby to be born with undesceded testicles. As the UK's Telegraph reports on the study, women who used more than one painkiller simultaneously, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen, had a sevenfold increased risk of giving birth to sons with some form of cryptorchidism compared to women who took nothing. Women who took a painkiller for more than two weeks were almost two and a half times as likely to have a boy with the condition and taking the drugs during the second trimester appeared to be the most sensitive time.
What's the connection? Experiments on rats have shown that certain compounds in the medications act as "endocrine disruptors," meaning they change certain hormone levels in the body. In this case, researchers believe the pain meds reduce the availability of testosterone to developing baby boys.
According to Dr. Henrik Leffers, senior scientist at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen and study lead author, "If exposure to endocrine disruptors is the mechanism behind the increasing reproductive problems among young men in the Western World, this research suggests that particular attention should be paid to the use of mild analgesics [pain medication] during pregnancy, as this could be a major reason for the problems."
Your Pregnancy
What's safe when it comes to pain relief from minor aches and pains? Trying natural, medication-free methods first may be a good idea. If you have a headache, massage your face and neck to relieve any muscular tension or rest in a darkened room with a washcloth over your eyes. For sore muscles, take a relaxing shower or bath—or use your pain as an excuse for a little prenatal massage!
If your pain or injury does seem like it will require pain medication to ease, consult your doctor or midwife first, even when it comes to OTC pain killers.
"Women may want to try to reduce their analgesic [pain medication] use during pregnancy. However … we recommend that pregnant women seek advice from their physician before using mild analgesics and in general follow the advice to use as little medicine during pregnancy as possible," advises Dr. Leffers.

One of order viagra the key stumbling blocks for supporters of solar energy is the fact that many of the planet's sunniest spots lay in the purchase cialis from us middle of oceans or inhospitable deserts. Now a team from Israel's Technion Institute of Technology have developed solar energy balloons as a means of harnessing the sun's energy in exactly such remote areas.
The team argue that the devices may be a cheap way to power remote areas lacking either the land or the infrastructure to accommodate "traditional"-type large power stations.
According to the concept's developer, Pini Gurfil, the idea is "to take advantage of the height dimension. When you do cialis without perscription that, you save a lot of cheapest genuine viagra tablets land resources and http://www.karlbarth.nl/cialis-online-50mgs can get to places otherwise hard to reach."
The helium-filled balloons, available from around spring 2009, are covered with thin-film solar panels, and can float at heights of up to buy cialis on the internet several hundred meters. The electricity generated is wffisher.com fed via a wire cable into an inverter capable of converting it for household use.
Initial research has shown that a typical 3 Meter (10ft) balloon should cost around $4,000, and be capable of producing around 1Kw of energy. This roughly compares to the same output from 25 square meters (269 sq ft) of traditional solar panels, at a cost of $10,000.
However, critics suggest that the system may have only limited niche appeal, and point to the widespread availability of "free" space on city rooftops and relatively low cost land around many urban centers. Now if they could get them to ten or twenty thousand feet...above the cloud layer, that would be another story.

Teito has regained his memories of hosting the Eye of Mikhail, a powerful artifact that has helped the Seven Ghosts keep the evil god Verloren at bay for thousands of years. To claim that power for themselves, the Barsburg Empire sends Teito a gift with bloody strings attached: Mikage.
While Teito trains rigorously to pass the Bishop Examination and gain worldwide travel privileges, a crime perpetrated by one of Ayanami's henchmen rocks the Barsburg Church. When Frau is framed, can Teito put aside his quest for answers to save the one person who has shown him the true meaning of sanctuary?
When Ayanami storms the Barsburg Church in a ruthless effort to drive the Eye of Mikael from Teito's body, Frau is forced to make a terrible choice: let the Eye fall into Ayanami's hands, or abandon Teito to die. But Teito may be powerless to accomplish his search for truth without it...
Having lost the Eye of Mikael to Ayanami's Imperial Army, Teito is now in the midst of the Bishop Examination, a test that if passed will grant him the travel privileges he needs to reclaim the Eye. But during the examination he must face... Ayanami?
Realizing that to move forward he must understand the past, Teito heads to the Land of Seele with Frau. On the way, Teito takes a journey both into his own past and the tragic history of one of his protectors - Castor, the kind puppet master of the Barsburg Church and one of the Seven Ghosts.
Teito and company evade Ayanami's agents by jumping on a slave ship headed to Teito's homeland, the ruined Raggs Kingdom. While overcome by bitter memories of his past as a combat slave, Teito will have to face his fiercest foe yet: his pet dragon's mother, come to reclaim her son!
While the Seven Ghosts travel to their past lives' memory bank to investigate who tampered with their memories, Teito unearths a shocking secret of his own; he is the evil god Verloren's vessel! And unless he regains the Eye of Mikael, his soul may crumble, spelling the end of the world.
Entangled by the Kraut House's corruption, Teito finds himself imprisoned in an icy tomb with a strange girl who he swears he's met before. Learning the dark secrets of Labrador's past is key to surviving the subzero "garden," but the trail leading to the gentle Seven Ghost's sad last days is anything but a primrose path.

Comedian and satirist Stephen Colbert took the University of North Carolina to task in the wake of its newest academic scandal on Wednesday night's edition of "The Colbert Report."
UNC academic counselor Mary Willingham's comments from both her CNN and WNCN interviews were used in Colbert's "Sport Report."
He played CNN's clip where Willingham said, "I mean, we may as well just go over to Glenwood Elementary up the street and just let all the 4th graders in here."
Colbert mockingly asked, "Why? How fast can they run the 40? Can they really take a hit?"
The show then aired the portion of WNCN's phone interview with Willingham where she claims the scholarship agreement is often fraud.
Colbert then responded to the claim.
"Fraudulent? Come on. UNC is fulfilling its end of the bargain: you play football, in exchange you get a diploma," he cracked. "You don't know that's what it is because you can't read it, but trust them, it says that you can."
He went on to say that, "This whole, 'We owe students an education racket,' is a threat to something much more important than kids' futures: present-day money.
"College sports is an $8 billion industry roughly the size of the NFL and if college athletes learn math, they'll be able to calculate that their share of that money is zero percent," he joked.

Bikers gather for 'Miracle Ride' to support pediatric cancer services at Golisano Children's
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Hundreds of motorcyclists are expected to gather Saturday, May 22 at the Spinning Wheel Restaurant, 7384 Thompson Road in North Syracuse, to begin a "Miracle Ride" through Onondaga and Madison counties to support pediatric services at Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital and the upcoming Pediatric Cancer Center.
Now in its 16th year, Miracle Ride is the longest running motorcycle ride supporting pediatric care in Central New York. Motorcyclists will take a 60-mile scenic ride around Onondaga and Madison counties and return to the Spinning Wheel Restaurant for a chicken BBQ; entertainment, including music by the Double Barrel Blues Band; food; and vendor displays. A benefit raffle will be held for a bath remodel donated by Bathrenew and two airline tickets anywhere in the contiguous United States donated by BTI Travel.
Last year's Miracle Ride raised nearly $70,000. Overall, the annual event has raised $700,000 for ill and injured children who are treated at the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital. The proceeds, collectively, has helped thousands of children who rely on specialized technology and new advances in medical treatments to manage or overcome their medical concerns.
"It is wonderful to see so many people each year come together to help our children," said Toni Gary, director of community relations for the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital.
To learn more about the Miracle Ride, call 315-464-4416.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- An investor service says that Governor Rick Snyder's decision to appoint an emergency manager for Detroit could hurt the city's financial outlook.
Moody's Investor Service says the move could help stabilize the city's budgets but it also provides a clearer path to a Chapter 9 municipal bankruptcy if the issues aren't fixed. In February, a review team found more than 14-billion dollars in long-term bond and retiree-benefits liabilities on top of the city's 327-million dollar deficit.
City officials have until March 11th to request a hearing with the governor to appeal his emergency manager decision.

John Martyn's City Struggle
FOUR YEARS ago John Martyn came south from Scotland, and next February he will be moving back with his wife and family. Those four years have been a constant struggle against the oppression of the city, but considering his abject aversion to this kind of environment, he has succeeded in his task. He has made his mark produced several fine albums which bare the mark of an inventive, refreshing brain, and on the face of it are wholly irreconcilable with the confused conglomeration in which he lives.
So when his wife Beverley has their second child, they will be moving to Peebleshire, within a stone's throw of the Incredible String Bands retreat, to escape a programmed routine which John analogises with the non-changing flight patterns of insects. The real break for John was the "Stormbringer!" album he made with Beverley – an album which extricated him well and truly from his folk club upbringing. But even then theRead More

Indiana's Governor, Mike Pence, on Thursday weighed in on the developing story 14 News has been following all week about a proposed fertilizer plant in Posey County.
As we first told you on Monday, a report in the Washington Times says the Pakistani based Fatima group has refused the Pentagon's appeals to control fertilizer products that end up in homemade bombs.
David James spoke one-on-one with Indiana Gov. Pence Thursday Afternoon.
When asked about the plant the Governor said that, as of his first day in office, the plans for the plant were on hold, adding "Economic Development is important but the safety of our troops in Afghanistan is the most important of all and I know every Hoosier cherishes those who put on the uniform to defend this country."
"We're in the process of making a careful evaluation of the appropriateness of Indiana's involvement in this project with those priorities fixed in mind."

This is the new Ryan Honda location on South Broadway in Minot...just north actually of the old Ryan GMC. Come Monday, Ryan Honda will open up this new location, while GMC will move to the old Ryan Honda.
The new facility is the latest and greatest from Honda...in fact, when you walk through the doors here, you will find yourself in a store that very few will find in their hometowns...
(Kathy Gaddie - Ryan Automotive Group) "Honda had what they call the Gen-2 and when we were getting started with this they came out with the Gen-3, Generation 3 model for the Honda stores. We are the second store that will be a Gen-3 model store."
The other by the way is in Fargo. Again, both dealerships open on Monday.
In Stanley, Fuel Force has opened along Highway 2. You'll find the usuals here...convenience store fare...but Fuel Force expands on that. GM Ian Grande says there will be a bit of a home cooked feel to the food you can find here...and that includes Godfather's Pizza as well. For Grande, this opportunity to move from Fargo to the Bakken was one he was ready to jump at.
(Ian Grande - Fuel Force GM) "My parents grew up in Williston and they have always been itching to get back. Thought it was a good opportunity for us to kind of serve a community that is busting at the seams and provide a good business atmosphere."
Fuel Force is open from 5 to 11...with plans in the works to expand on those hours should demand warrant it. With Business Beat, I'm Perry Olson.

The Transmission of U.S. Monetary Policy Shocks to the China's Output and Inflation: An Empirical Analysis
We employ the SVAR model to examine the impact of U.S. monetary policy shock on the Chinese real output and inflation. Our main result shows that the effect of transmission of short-term international capital flows is stronger than the balance of trade and the world commodity prices index. The exchange rate of RMB has the weakest transmission effect. Expansionary monetary policy shocks of the United States will increase real output and consumer price index of China and the United States; but the U.S. real output growth is higher than that of China; China's consumer price index rise higher than that of United States. Based on this, China should gradually adjust economic growth model, increased the per capita disposable income and strengthen regulate the speculative short-term international capital flows.
Key words: Monetary policy shock; Transmission channel; SVAR model; Impulse response

CREATED Mar 27, 2014
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Arson investigators were trying to determine what started a suspicious fire that damaged a house in north Nashville on Thursday morning.
The home on 23rd Avenue North was fully engulfed in flames when the first firefighters got on the scene around 4:15 a.m.
The flames were quickly put out, but the home suffered serious damage. It was believed to have started on a couch in the living room, and quickly spread. The fire chief said it was likely intentionally set.
The home had been vacant, with the previous residents moving out a couple of weeks ago.
No one was hurt.
Arson investigators were on the scene Thursday morning working to determine how the fire started.

If you receive Social Security benefits, watch out! Scammers may be targeting you and your money.
One Davenport man is trying to spread the word to other seniors, after he was contacted by the scammers Monday morning.
The scam is pretty slick. It's intended to prey on vulnerable seniors - made all the more vulnerable by recent changes in the way many receive their Social Security checks.
Everyone was supposed to have switched from paper checks to electronic payments by March 1 of this year. And the scammers know that.
Ben Niedert got the call this morning. It was from a number with a Texas area code SAYING they were from the Social Security Administration.
"And then he said 'Your address is...' and he gave me my address. I said, 'That's correct.' And he said 'Your phone number now is...' and I said, 'The number you called,'" Niedert recalled of the conversation.
But then, they asked for his bank information, and this scam savvy senior got a big red flag.
He told the caller he'd have to call him back.
"Then the line got real quiet, and I said 'Is that going to work?' and all of the sudden Click - the phone conversation was over," Niedert explained.
Ben Niedert was the target of a scam.
It seems obvious, right? Don't give your personal info to random strangers on the phone.
But, Niedert worries that it might not be that obvious to everyone.
"It'd be awfully easy to answer that question," he said.
That is especially true for people who receive federal benefits like Social Security who failed to meet the March 1 deadline to make the switch to electronic payments.
Those people ARE being contacted by the U.S. Treasury Department. In that case, though, the Treasury Department is contacting them only through the mail.
"The federal government will never call you and ask for information," Brad Benson, a public affairs specialist for the U.S. Treasury, said.
That said, this scam is widespread. And that is something Benson knows first hand.
"I know my mom had a call....The same kind of thing," Benson said. "People are calling seniors knowing that there's a change and thinking that they can get information from them."
Ben Niedert wants to spread the word: Do not take the bait.
"People are always looking for easy money," he warned.
Don't let yours be the money they take.
The Treasury Department has teamed up with the Social Security Administration and the Department of Veterans Affairs to put together a short video message for federal benefit recipients with more information about how to avoid falling victim to this kind of fraud.

easy. delicious. healthy. happy.
someone recently reminded me how much ground up garbanzo beans are delicious. especially when doused in garlic. honestly, i don't have a food processor- so for under $4 at [[devil market capitalism place-that-shall-not-be-named]] i buy Sabra, which is without a doubt the best hummus ever, and possibly better than homemade. [{roasted garlic. do it.}] & eat with quarters of those little flour fajita tortillas, which you can get 20 for a dollar. [[ much better & cost efficient than pita ]]
however, if you need a quick, impressive and delicious snack or appetizer and have a few bucks to spend or want to make huge quantities for cheap– here's my favorite recipe:
- 5 garlic cloves
- 2 cups canned chickpeas
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
- 6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)
- 2-3 Tablespoons fresh parsley or cilantro
- 2-3 tsp cayenne powder
Throw it all in a food processor, adding more of the salt, lemon, or cayenne to taste. Should be an almost creamy almost paste texture. Yum. Serve with tortillas, cherry tomatoes (!!!), celery sticks, raw red bell pepper slices, or baked pita chips.
Baked pita chips:
Buy store-made pita, open and layout flat on cookie sheets, sprinkle with olive oil and salt and bake for 5 minutes at 375, watching closely, turning once.
