MIDLAND, Mich. (AP) — A Michigan congressman who chairs a tax committee says doctors have declared him cancer-free following chemotherapy treatments.
U.S. Rep. Dave Camp announced last summer that he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. On Tuesday, the Midland Republican said in a statement that he is free of cancer.
The 59-year-old chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee says he's "extremely thankful for the excellent treatment." He says he'll have routine medical checks in the months ahead.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer that begins in the cells of the immune system. Camp says he had large B-cell lymphoma. B-cells are a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections.
He has served in Congress since 1991.

The world turns constantly, but history turns rarely.
The events unfolding in Mexico in recent months point toward one of those rare turns.
The implications are profound. Will the Mexican people rise up and turn back an illegitimate election? If so, what will follow in the wake of that revolutionary moment?
And from the perspective of people both in the midst of that change, and on the fringes of that change – whether they live in the United States or elsewhere – how will they be kept informed of the reality of the events unfolding on the ground and in the seats of power?
Do you trust the mainstream media to provide you with that insight? Have they done so to date, or has their coverage of the Mexican election been little more than propaganda spoon fed to embassy-bound reporters who are more interested in collecting a paycheck and assuring job security than they are in reporting the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
That is admittedly a loaded question, but readers of Narco News already have formed their opinions on that front, so there is no need to affect the pretense of objectivity concerning the mainstream media's coverage of the impending turn in Mexico's history.
For the mainstream media, history is what they make of it. But for those who understand history, nothing could be further from the truth. History is always made in the wake of the future, and that future is not the property of any media organization or government.
But there are few in the media who are willing to brave the turbulent waters of that wake, because it offers little in the way of compensation other than a rare glimpse of history unfolding.
However, that is what the Narco News team of authentic journalists do daily, and will continue to do going forward – on a very slim budget, in the face of real danger, and with nothing sought in return other than the chance to share with readers a true vision of a turn in history.
But even Narco News needs a vessel to move through this wake of history, and that vessel is the Narco News Web site and the journalists who sail that ship. Rations, equipment and strong sails are needed in this journey if the ship has any hope of remaining afloat in the tempest-tossed waters ahead.
Narco News will be there to make that journey, to send its journalists into Mexico's future, and into the future of all parts of Latin America and the U.S. border, but only if it can keep its ship afloat and, to the extent possible, protected from the broadsides of the enemy ships it is sure to encounter.
The Narco News crew doesn't ask for much. They are not profiteers like the captains of the mainstream media battleships. Rather, they are weather-tested sailors who have embarked on a journey into the seas of change.

As you know well, kind readers, what lies ahead in those rough seas is the future. And if we want to join Narco News on that quest, to move forward into the future of Mexico, Latin America and the border, with the truth at our sails, we need to help restock the ship for the journey.
So, I ask you, as fellow travelers on this journey, to once more jump into the wake of history together and help give the Narco News ship a strong push into the future.

The On-Line Newsletter
From 24 October 2003 Issue
From the Sled Dog Action Coalition
CBS Early Show's interview of blind musher Rachael Scdoris ignored the plight of the Iditarod dogs by failing to give equal time to the animal protection side of the Iditarod story.
CBS asked Scdoris for her opinion of the animal protection viewpoint and did not state any of the many ways in which the Iditarod is cruel. This was not a fair or objective presentation of our views or of the facts. Please ask CBS Early Show to air facts about Iditarod cruelties on another show.
[email protected],

Dear Ms. Chen, Mr. Smith and Ms. Storm:
Animal protection advocates and animal lovers requested that your interview of blind musher Rachael Scdoris present a balanced picture by giving equal time to the animal protection side of the Iditarod story.
By asking Scdoris for her opinion of the animal protection viewpoint, without stating any of the many ways in which the Iditarod is cruel, CBS did not give a fair or objective presentation of the animal protection perspective or of the facts.
On another show, please devote equal air time to facts about Iditarod cruelties and to the animal protection viewpoint.
In the Iditarod, dogs are forced to run 1,150 miles over a grueling terrain in 8 to 15 days, which is the approximate distance between New York City and Miami. Dog deaths and injuries are common in the race. USA Today sports columnist Jon Saraceno called the Iditarod "a travesty of grueling proportions" and "Ihurtadog." Fox sportscaster Jim Rome called it "I-killed-a-dog." Orlando Sentinel sports columnist George Diaz said the race is "a barbaric ritual" and "an illegal sweatshop for dogs." USA Today business columnist Bruce Horovitz said the race is a "public-relations minefield." On average, 54% of the dogs who start the race cannot make it across the finish line.
Please visit the SDAC website http://www.helpsleddogs.org to see pictures, and for more information. Be sure to read the quotes on http://www.helpsleddogs.org/remarks.htm . All of the material on the site is true and verifiable.
At least 120 dogs have died in the Iditarod. There is no official count of dog deaths available for the race's early years. In "WinterDance: the Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod," Gary Paulsen describes witnessing an Iditarod musher brutally kicking a dog to death during the race. He wrote, "All the time he was kicking the dog. Not with the imprecision of anger, the kicks, not kicks to match his rage but aimed, clinical vicious kicks. Kicks meant to hurt deeply, to cause serious injury. Kicks meant to kill."
Causes of death have also included strangulation in towlines, internal hemorrhaging after being gouged by a sled, liver injury, heart failure, and pneumonia. "Sudden death" and "external myopathy," a fatal condition in which a dog's muscles and organs deteriorate during extreme or prolonged exercise, have also occurred. The 1976 Iditarod winner, Jerry Riley, was accused of striking his dog with a snow hook (a large, sharp and heavy metal claw). In 1996, one of Rick Swenson's dogs died while he mushed his team through waist-deep water and ice. The Iditarod Trail Committee banned both mushers from the race but later reinstated them. In many states these incidents would be considered animal cruelty. Swenson is now on the Iditarod Board of Directors.
In the 2001 Iditarod, a sick dog was sent to a prison to be cared for by inmates and received no veterinary care. He was chained up in the cold and died. Another dog died by suffocating on his own vomit.
Tom Classen, retired Air Force colonel and Alaskan resident for over 40 years, tells us that the dogs are beaten into submission:
"They've had the hell beaten out of them." "You don't just whisper into their ears, 'OK, stand there until I tell you to run like the devil.' They understand one thing: a beating. These dogs are beaten into submission the same way elephants are trained for a circus. The mushers will deny it. And you know what? They are all lying." -USA Today, March 3, 2000 in Jon Saraceno's column
Beatings and whippings are common. Jim Welch says in his book Speed Mushing Manual, "I heard one highly respected [sled dog] driver once state that "'Alaskans like the kind of dog they can beat on.'" "Nagging a dog team is cruel and ineffective...A training device such as a whip is not cruel at all but is effective." "It is a common training device in use among dog mushers...A whip is a very humane training tool."
Mushers believe in "culling" or killing unwanted dogs, including puppies. Many dogs who are permanently disabled in the Iditarod, or who are unwanted for any reason, are killed with a shot to the head, dragged or clubbed to death. "On-going cruelty is the law of many dog lots. Dogs are clubbed with baseball bats and if they don't pull are dragged to death in harnesses....." wrote Alaskan Mike Cranford in an article for Alaska's Bush Blade Newspaper (March, 2000).
Jon Saraceno wrote in his March 3, 2000 column in USA Today, "He [Colonel Tom Classen] confirmed dog beatings and far worse. Like starving dogs to maintain their most advantageous racing weight. Skinning them to make mittens. Or dragging them to their death."
The race has led to the proliferation of horrific dog kennels in which the dogs are treated very cruelly. Many kennels have over 100 dogs and some have as many as 200. It is standard for the dogs to spend their entire lives outside tethered to metal chains that can be as short as four feet long. In 1997 the United States Department of Agriculture determined that the tethering of dogs was inhumane and not in the animals' best interests. The chaining of dogs as a primary means of enclosure is prohibited in all cases where federal law applies. A dog who is permanently tethered is forced to urinate and defecate where he sleeps, which conflicts with his natural instinct to eliminate away from his living area.
Iditarod dogs are victims of cruelty. Please tell your viewers the truth about this barbaric race.

I wish I had a little girl to make that for. My middle son might wear it for a little while LOL He seems to like dresses and pretty shoes when we go to the store until his big brother tells him "that's girl clothes" and gives him the look. Then my youngest says "Oh OK" I'm working hard on using up my yarn stash and knitting the necessities for my family.ReplyDelete

PATTANI, Thailand (AP) — An 11-month-old baby was among seven people killed Tuesday by suspected Islamist separatists, police said, as a bloody insurgency in southern Thailand that has killed thousands of people heads toward its ninth year.
Five people were killed and another four wounded in a drive-by shooting at a tea shop in Narathiwat province's Ra-ngae district, said local police chief Col. Jiradej Prasawang. The dead included 11-month-old Efahni Samoh, while the wounded included a 10-month-old boy, Muhammad Yaena.
Jiradej said the shop may have been targeted by the gunmen, who were firing AK-47 assault rifles, because the owner is a village official. Officials and teachers, as representatives of the state, are prime targets for the insurgents, whose terror tactics are also thought to be aimed at scaring Buddhist residents fleeing the region.
In a separate incident, five attackers shot dead a principal and a teacher at a school in neighboring Pattani province's Mayo district before stealing a pickup truck as they fled, said Mayo police chief Col. Kong-art Suwannakham. The total number of school personnel killed in such attacks is now 157, according to the regional teachers association.
More than 5,000 people have been killed in the three Muslim-dominated southernmost provinces of Buddhist-dominated Thailand since an Islamist insurgency erupted in 2004.
"Successive governments have opted to muddle through Southeast Asia's most violent internal conflict, deploying tens of thousands of security forces and spending billions of dollars to little effect," the Brussels-based International Crisis Group think tank said Tuesday as it released a report on the conflict.
"Insurgents have withstood and adapted to the military's tactics, growing more proficient and daring in the process," it said. "While there is greater pressure on leaders to reduce violence and seek a resolution, political infighting and bureaucratic inertia continue to impinge on a comprehensive approach."
The group recommended that Thailand's government "reverse the militarization of the southernmost provinces, lift the Draconian security laws and end the security forces' impunity, all of which help stimulate the insurgency."

July 5, 2013 – The old telephone company slogan "Reach out and touch someone" wasn't just a catchy phrase. The personal touch can make a big difference.
In fact, a new study has found that nurses' personal contact with patients recently discharged from the hospital can also reduce the chances that they'll need to be readmitted. The study, which was conducted by the Bronx Collaborative, examined the effectiveness of enhanced personal contact with patients before and after discharge. Their findings: patients who received at least two extra "personal contacts" during the transition process were much less likely to require rehospitalization within 60 days of discharge.
The Bronx Collaborative is a partnership between three nonprofit hospitals in the Bronx, N.Y., and two health insurers. The hospitals are Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx Lebanon Hospital Center and St. Barnabas Hospital, and the two insurers are Healthfirst and EmblemHealth. The five collaborated to develop an initiative called the Care Transitions Program, or CTP, that would reach out to patients who were determined to be most at risk for readmission.
The design team for this study was interested in earlier research on methods to improve care transitions.
"But they were done in populations that were not completely like our population that we serve here in the Bronx," said Anne Meara, RN, MBA, associate vice president, Network Care Management, CMO, Montefiore Care Management.
The goal of the collaborative became to find ways to reduce readmissions in the population that they serve–a very diverse population, many with multiple diseases or conditions. And they wanted to put evidence-based practices from models such as the Coleman Care Transitions Initiative and Project RED to work in serving their population.
"We really had a significant impact," said Meara. "I think that that's got really broad ramifications in other communities like ours."
Nurse care transition managers had four possible interventions to use with patients: (1) a pre-discharge educational session with the patient; (2) a post-discharge call within 48-72 hours of discharge to make sure that a follow-up visit with the patient's physician was scheduled; (3) a phone call between 7-14 days to make sure the patient had actually gone to the appointment; and (4) calls between 15-60 days post-discharge just to check on the patient.
The goal was to employ at least two of those interventions with patients. The results: of 500 patients who received at least two interventions, 17.6 percent were readmitted within 60 days, compared with 26.3 percent who didn't get enhanced interventions.
"We were very successful in proving that it does work," said Janet Kasoff, EdD, MA, BSN, director, CMO, Montefiore Care Management Center for Learning and Innovation and the manager of the Care Transitions program. "The ability to replicate it [in other facilities] is very possible because our protocol is very prescriptive."
For this particular study, the collaborative received a $574,000 grant from the New York State Health Foundation (NYSHF) to pay for the care transition managers, care transitions assistants and a pharmacist.
Amy Shefrin, program officer for the NYSHF, praised the collaborative members' willingness to come together and work on new ways to make a difference.
"We think the Bronx Collaborative really provided that leadership and vision" that's needed to make a difference in readmission rates, she said.
It's particularly unusual for payers to be involved in this type of initiative, said Shefrin. In this case, the health plans both paid a fee for participating patients who received at least two interventions and participated in the design team. "That doesn't happen enough," she said.
It just made sense for EmblemHealth to sign on, said vice president Joseph Zeitlin, MD.
"Working with hospitals to get them to really reinvest in the discharge process can only be helpful," he said.
The health insurance company already had experience in this arena that it could share. EmblemHealth launched its own program in 2010 to examine the effectiveness of integrating a dedicated team into a large practice to work with patients who needed transitional care and services. The results, which were published in the American Journal of Managed Care, found that additional interventions did reduce those patients' readmission rates.
What's next?
Meara noted that current readmission predictive tools don't include data on factors like psychosocial factors. Yet, that information can be very useful when it comes to determining who may be likely to be readmitted–and why. It's useful to know, for example, that a patient doesn't have access to reliable transportation to get back and forth to those follow-up doctor's appointments.
"We need to get better at collecting that information in a way that's consistent and able to be mined to use in predicting who's going to be readmitted," she said, adding that it's important for organizations to know what resources they bring to the table to address those factors.
All the efforts that are going into studies like this are worth it, Zeitlin said, and not just because readmissions are costly for hospitals and health insurers.
"Readmissions are just a devastating event for patients and their families," he said. "And we want to be able to be part of the process that affords to them the safe transition back to the communities and their providers and to be able to get back to their lives as soon as possible."

Social Workers Can also Lower Readmissions Rates
In a related study, researchers from Binghamton University's College of Community and Public Affairs and SUNY Upstate Medical University recently discovered that their program using social workers to establish new community-based alternatives to reduce readmissions among high risk patients is proving to be successful. The study is examining two years' worth of data from 100 patients who live independently but are at high risk for readmission to the hospital. According to the researchers, preliminary analysis shows that social worker intervention reduces the chances of those patients returning back to the hospital shortly after discharge.

LONDON (AP) — A former British police sergeant has been sentenced to 10 months in jail for trying to sell details about a celebrity couple's daughter and other confidential information to The Sun newspaper.
James Bowers was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to misconduct in public office. Prosecutors said he passed information about three incidents — one involving the 2-year-old daughter of model Katie Price and singer Peter Andre — to the Rupert Murdoch-owned tabloid.
The 30-year-old was arrested as part of Operation Elveden, an investigation into police corruption.
The inquiry is running alongside investigations into phone and computer hacking sparked by revelations that reporters at Murdoch's now-shuttered News of the World tabloid regularly intercepted voicemails.
About 20 people have been charged in the scandal, including journalists, police officers and former Murdoch executives.

Josh Smith scored 29 points as the Atlanta Hawks built a 17-point lead at halftime, then withstood an Indiana comeback over the final two quarters to even the series with a 102-91 victory in Game 4 on Monday night.
After struggling much of the second half, Smith made every big play down the stretch. He swished a rare 3-pointer, came up with an offensive rebound to set up a 3 by Kyle Korver, then finished off a fast break with a right-handed dunk.
Paul George scored 18 of his 21 points in the second half as the Pacers made a game of it but couldn't come back from a 57-40 deficit at the break.
Tied at two wins apiece, the series returns to Indianapolis for Game 5 on Wednesday night.

The trouble began with seeing 'garble' when the mega was reset, my sketch should print 'status' to the serial port upon reset and 'sometimes' it was garbled. Huh...Maybe just trash on the line I thought. But then, when I pushed the reset button it began not writing to the serial port at all sometimes. I'd have to close the arduino ide's comm window, unplug/replug the usb cable back in, reopen the comm window, and then upon reset could get it to speak on an intermittent basis. Sometimes it would stop talking after 5 resets, sometimes after 3 resets, one one round I got all the way to 24 resets before it stopped talking. At that point I moved from the macintosh over to the pc and found the exact same symptoms (ocasional garble, and dying after some low number of resets).At that point I grabbed a mega rev2, loaded the exact same software onto it, and it works perfectly.I went back to the mega rev3, reloaded the software - and it's intermittent, and it got worse the longer it was on. It looks to me like I'm catching the beginnings of a usb controller chip failure.So, it's beginning to look like a bad batch of mega rev 3, or a design flaw, one or the other, to me. I'll be working on the mega rev2 all day and tomorrow, and will keep it continuously powered up and will report back later.
Do you know where I can find instructions for reloading the 8u2's firmware? I looked for that info but failed to find it when the boards began going bad.
Regarding "Usually digital chips do not go intermittent (they can but usually dont)" - I understand and agree but that's what appears to be happening. But something weird is happening that's for sure. In the case where the boards were plugged into the two power supplies it doesn't make sense that the 8u2's would be damaged when the processor wasn't, unless it's the size of the chips? The 8u2's are a lot smaller and if something bad was happening in power supply land then their smaller size might have dissipated less heat? And caused them to self-destruct before the processor did?
There are mysteries here folks. Could the the design team of the mega r3 please run some tests using dual supplies or talk about the circuit theory issues that are relevant here please?
The power supply I used was an OKI-78SR 5v dc-dc regulator being powered by a wall wart 12vdc power supply which measured about 16vdc unloaded, and about 15v when plugged into the arduino/shield stack.

This year marks the seventieth anniversary of a remarkable public protest by ordinary German women against the Nazi regime.
From February 27 to March 6, 1943, a group of unorganized German women went into the streets of downtown Berlin, within a few city blocks of the most feared centers of Nazi power, to protest for the release of their Jewish husbands, who had just been arrested by the Gestapo. Daily giving voice to their collective demand – "give us our husbands back" – first softly, then with increasing urgency, they succeeded in achieving their goal.
For these German women, the brutal Nazi state had lost all legitimacy. Like very few others, they were willing to express this publicly, on the streets, for all to see. For decades, their story was largely absent from histories of Nazi Germany. Their story challenges the comforting, generally accepted narrative that opposition was honorable but always futile. This year's anniversary is an opportunity to focus deserved attention on these women's brave action – and its implications for resistance more broadly.
On February 27, 1943, as part of the Nazi plan to remove the last remaining Jews from German soil, the Gestapo arrested some 2,000 Berlin Jews who had not yet been deported because they were married to non-Jews. In response, hundreds of women – wives of those arrested – pushed their way onto the street in front of Rosenstrasse 2-4, an office of the Jewish community where these arrested Jews were being held, and began to protest.
SS men as well as policemen guarded the single entrance. Over the course of the following week the Gestapo repeatedly threatened to shoot the protesters in the street, causing them to scatter briefly before resuming their collective cry of "give us our husbands back."
Decades later, I interviewed one of these women, Elsa Holzer, who remembered arriving on the street in search of her husband. "I thought," she said, "I would be alone there the first time I went to the Rosenstrasse…. I didn't necessarily think it would do any good, but I had to go see what was going on…. If you had to calculate whether you would do any good by protesting, you wouldn't have gone. But we wanted to show that we weren't willing to let them [our husbands] go. I went to Rosenstrasse every day, before work. And there was always a flood of people there. It wasn't organized, or instigated. Everyone was simply there. Exactly like me. That's what is so wonderful about it."
During the same week of this protest, some 7,000 of the last Jews in Berlin were sent to Auschwitz. On Rosenstrasse, however, the regime hesitated; almost all of those held there were released on March 6. Even intermarried Jews who had also been sent to Auschwitz and put in work camps were returned to Germany.
Surprising as it might seem, these events on closer examination fit with the treacherous strategies of the Nazi regime for domestic control. The Rosenstrasse protest occurred as many Germans were tempted to doubt Hitler's leadership following Germany's debacle in the Battle of Stalingrad. As he elaborated in Mein Kampf, Hitler believed that popular support comprised the primary pillar of his authority among the German "racial" people, and his dictatorship throughout strove to maintain this basis of his power. To end this protest, the regime released the intermarried Jews, furthering, for that moment, Hitler's goal of quelling any appearance of dissention.
The murderous Nazi regime also appeased other public protests. On October 11, 1943, on Adolf Hitler Square in the city of Witten, some three hundred women protested against the official decision to withhold their food ration cards until they evacuated their homes as part of Nazi policy to protect civilians from bombing raids. The following day Germans in Lünen, Hamm and Bochum also protested on the streets for the same reason.
In response, Hitler ordered all regional authorities not to withhold ration cards as a method of forcing civilians to evacuate their homes. This was followed by further orders by Nazi officials to refrain from "coercive measures" against evacuees who had returned. In his cold calculations, Hitler chose not to draw further attention to public protest, judging it the best way to protect his authority – and the appearance, promoted by his propaganda machine, that all Germans stood united behind him.

Big 12 Campus Correspondent
Victor Ojeleye was not a big-name recruit coming out of prep school. Nobody blinked an eye when the Ottawa, Kan., native chose to walk-on at Kansas State under head coach Frank Martin.
So while his arrival to Manhattan may not have been met with a great deal of hype, Ojeleye has made a profound impact on his Wildcat teammates during his three and a half years on campus.
Victor Olayemi Ayunda Ojeleye was born in Ilorin, Nigeria but came to the United States when he was just four years old. His father is a family doctor in Ottawa, Kan., and it was there that Victor's talents on the hardwood and in the classroom really began to shine through.
Ojeleye maintained a perfect 4.0 GPA throughout high school and was named Valedictorian of his graduating class. On top of that, he rewrote the Cyclone record books, setting OHS marks for career scoring (1070) and career rebounds (596). He was named Area Player of the Year by the Lawrence World-Journal, first-team 5A All-State by KansasSports.com and earned first team All-Frontier League honors following his senior year.
A walk-on paying his own way at Kansas State, Ojeleye has made an impact not only for his team, but also for the community. Since arriving at K-State, he has been involved in many extra-curricular activities outside of basketball. Some of those organizations include Special Olympics, Adopt-A-Family, the After Dark Program and the Flint Hills Breadbasket, which is a non-profit organization that helps put food on the tables of needy families in the Riley County area.
"I'm always trying to find new ways to give back," said Ojeleye. "These organizations are very involved in the community. When I tell other student-athletes from other schools what we do, you can tell that their schools are well behind us in campus and community involvement."
Even when balancing school and basketball, Ojeleye always finds a way to help others in need. Family and community are two words that have always resonated strongly with Ojeleye.
"You can do nothing in life by yourself. Everything you do with a purpose involves interacting with someone else. Almost without question, it takes at least two individuals to get you somewhere," Ojeleye said.
In the locker room, he is a source of inspiration for his teammates and coaches. Ojeleye, who is a devout Christian, has been known to leave notes with Bible verses and inspirational quotes in the lockers of his teammates on game days. Fellow teammates see Ojeleye as a person who they can approach if they need help with anything.
Despite having a limited role in his first three seasons as a Wildcat, the one consistent part of Ojeleye's game is the leadership that he brings to the team.
Now a senior, he has seen his role in the Wildcat rotation increase greatly. He has been one of the more consistent players to come off the bench for K-State.
In Big 12 play, Ojeleye has played significant minutes for the Wildcats while setting career marks in several statistical categories which included a career-high 10 rebounds against Iowa State on January 31.
So while Ojeleye's time at K-State will end after this season, his success off the court will carry on in the form of a job at Koch Industries in Wichita, Kan. At that company, Ojeleye has a position waiting for him upon completing his degree in the area of accounting and finance.
"I hope to be involved with international business," said Ojeleye. "I want to travel the world and make things happen at the highest scale."

Three gift vouchers were handed to civil servants in the first eight months of a scheme rewarding money-saving ideas, new figures show.
The successful workers from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) received Love2shop vouchers valued at either £25 or £50, which are accepted at several high street and online retailers plus attractions.
These include Boux Avenue - listed as bringing romance, seduction and a little slice of style to your boudoir - the Chelsea FC Megastore, Alton Towers, Toys R Us, HMV and Boots.
Communities Secretary Eric Pickles launched the scheme last July in an attempt to reward proposals which cut his department s costs.
DCLG said a number of money-saving ideas were submitted by staff, although it has yet to confirm how many it received.
Three of the ideas received an award in the first eight months, a Freedom of Information request by the Press Association shows.
A further six ideas were also being considered as of last month.
DCLG said a £50 voucher was given to a member of its communications team for reducing and examining spending on newspaper subscriptions and other items to secure savings of £40,000 a year.
A local government finance officer was awarded £25 after suggesting stationery across the department be surrendered and pooled as part of DCLG s move to share a headquarters with the Home Office.
DCLG said this proposal offered the potential to save cash by preventing multiple orders and a build-of surplus stationery stock.
A planning directorate worker also received £25 for proposing that more documents should be submitted digitally in order to save the department and local authorities significant amounts on postage , the FOI response said.
Local authorities have been encouraged by the chief planner to send in electronic versions of documents rather than paper copies, according to DCLG.
It added data will be gathered to assess how much money could potentially be saved by the change in approach.
Of the six other proposals under review, DCLG said: One of the ideas includes how staff with their own season tickets could be encouraged to use their right to a discount on off-peak travel, and how this can be built into our travel procurement process.
On the scheme in general, the department said: Staff have been asked to put money saving ideas to their director or the director general for finance and corporate services who will then consider whether it is worthy of an award.
The minimum award will be £25 and the maximum £50 depending on the merit of the idea and will be decided by the relevant director.
The department has made a further call for money saving ideas which emphasises the need to look at policy and processes within the department and not just efficiency savings in the administration budget.
We are putting together a task and finish group, made up of volunteers from across the department, to look at the best ways to reach out to staff and encourage more bright ideas.

Gravity is good, Sandy challenges Cate
Gravity might be great.
Rapturous early reviews are coming out of the Venice Film Festival where Sandra Bullock and George Clooney presented the film for the first time yesterday. The film is being called a visual masterpiece, in particular its 13 minute opening – a single shot. This, then, is not The Great Gatsby. No one is questioning Gravity's 3D. When given the option, 9 times out of 10 I prefer to see movies in regular D. Gravity would appear to the exception. Because according to critics, the effects do not distract from the performances or the story but work in service of them. Word is, both Bullock and Clooney deliver large – Sandy in particular. TIME's Richard Corliss notes that she's so good in the movie, the others who passed on it – including Angelina Jolie (twice!) – might look back in regret. The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy concurs, positing that Gravity is "by far the best film she's ever been in". Variety, while praising Clooney's supporting turn, calls it a "veritable one-woman show". So now, as we officially enter festival season and the very beginnings of a long awards campaign, another legitimate contender has emerged alongside Cate Blanchett (Blue Jasmine) for Best Actress.
As I've mentioned several times already here and here most recently, I am terrified to see Gravity. Space is like the sea – miles and miles of nothing and everything at the same time. It's encouraging then to know that it's worth the experience, and also that Alfonso Cuaron has managed to deliver a high quality picture in… 90 MINUTES.
How refreshing.
Because you've heard me complain about movie lengths over and over and over again. An Oscar contender that's only an hour and a half? I'm in.
Click here and here for two more reviews of Gravity in addition to the three that are linked above.

The National Association of RV Parks and Campgrounds (ARVC) and Skyline Corp. have negotiated an agreement that gives Skyline "preferred provider" status on park model and travel trailer sales to ARVC-member parks in the U.S. and Canada.
"I am very excited to have Skyline as a preferred provider," said David L. Berg, ARVC chairman, adding that savings from a single park model purchase could offset the cost of ARVC dues for as much as 20 years.
"This agreement does not just cover rental units," Berg said. "It covers all products that Skyline manufactures, including park models of all widths, towable travel trailers, park model cabins which they are designing specifically for ARVC members and mobile homes. The only restriction is that the member must use the units as rentals or sell them directly to their customers for use in their park."
According to a press release, Skyline said the preferred provider agreement with ARVC should help boost sales for the Elkhart, Ind.-based company in an increasingly competitive market. "We're looking forward to displaying some of our units at the upcoming Outdoor Hospitality Conference and Expo in Savannah," said Terry Decio, Skyline's vice president of sales and marketing.
Skyline has manufacturing facilities in Indiana, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Florida, Oregon and California.
"With Skyline plans from New England to California, this will be a far reaching member benefit that the vast majority of our membership can enjoy," Berg said.
ARVC is the national trade association that represents the outdoor hospitality industry. Based in Denver, Colo., membership includes over 3,300 campgrounds, RV parks and resorts throughout the United States. ARVC's consumer website is www.GoCampingAmerica.com, while its industry website is www.ARVC.org.

MADRID (AP) — The Spanish prime minister's office admits it made an embarrassing mistake when it sent out a condolence message to the victims of a train derailment that killed 80 in Spain by including a sentence from an earlier statement expressing regret over deaths in a Chinese earthquake.
A spokesman for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's office says the inclusion of a last paragraph that extends sympathy over deaths in Gansu, China was "an error" — but he could not explain how it had occurred. The sentence appeared in a statement sent Monday to the Chinese people.
The spokesman, who requested anonymity in line with government policy, said the paragraph was promptly removed from the statement, which was sent out late Wednesday.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The LPGA Tour says longtime rules official Doug Brecht has died after a three-month battle with the West Nile virus. He was 62.
Brecht was hospitalized in August during the Jamie Farr Classic in Toledo, Ohio. He later was transferred to his home in Oklahoma to continue fighting the virus. LPGA Tour Commissioner Mike Whan said Brecht's wife told him he died peacefully Friday with his family close around him.
Brecht played college golf for Oklahoma in the early 1970s and coached women's golf at the school from 1982 to 1985. As an LPGA rules official, he was vigilant against slow play and penalized Morgan Pressel during the final of the Match Play Championship in May.
The LPGA said memorial services have not been scheduled.
