With NYE on the horizon, prepare to be barraged with an obnoxious amount of rage-worthy music (both new and old). This track has been on repeat for a good while now, and I feel as though no year-end mix should be without some sort of Drake and Rihanna tune. So here's the first of many (most likely).

Dudley mum slams hospital chiefs for drugs cover up following son's death
3:22pm Monday 16th December 2013 in News
A GRIEVING Dudley mum has slammed health bosses for covering up mistakes which may have caused her baby's death.
Tragic Joseph Wood was just two days old when he died after being diagnosed with poor feeding, breathlessness, a fast heart rate and low blood sugar.
He was born at Russells Hall Hospital and, during treatment for his illness at the hospital, was mistakenly given a drug which decreases blood flow, rather than one to open his heart valves.
Joseph's devastated mother Angela Wood, aged 40, blasted hospital chiefs for not answering her questions about the blunder and how the hospital intends to prevent similar errors.
Angela Wood said: "We were absolutely horrified when we were told Joseph had been given the wrong drug but it was the fact we had to take legal action to get this information that we find so difficult to accept.
"We sat in a meeting with a number of people involved with Joseph's care and we find it hard to believe that they could sit there and not say anything about a mistake they must have known about – it's an insult."
Joseph was born on January 14, 2010, as his condition worsened he was transferred to Birmingham Children's Hospital for life-saving surgery but died just after his arrival.
His parents, who live in central Dudley with their two daughters, were not told he had been given Prostacyclin instead of Prostaglandin however following action by law firm Irwin Mitchell, Dudley Group of Hospitals NHS NHS Foundation Trust admitted breach of duty by administering the wrong medication.
The Trust has also paid out an undisclosed settlement to the family after Angela and Joseph's father Michael both suffered acute stress and adjustment disorder in the aftermath of the tragedy.
Angela Wood said: "We just hope that systems have been improved to prevent the same error from happening again as we have had no proof from the Trust that this is the case. We hate to think another family could be at risk of the same horrific ordeal we have had to endure.
"Nothing can change what happened to Joseph. We just hope by bringing what happened to peoples' attention it will help stop mistakes like this happening again."
Paula Clark, chief executive at Dudley Group NHS Foundation Trust, said: "We would like to offer our most sincere condolences to Michael and Angela Wood on the sad loss of their baby, Joseph. The care we provided fell below the standard expected.
"We now have a duty of candour to patients and carers when mistakes occur and we are ensuring we better communicate in these circumstances.
"We accept there were lessons to be learned to eliminate the risk of this happening again in the future. We have made the necessary changes in our medicines protocols to help ensure this never happens again."
Caroline Stokes, from Irwin Mitchell, says there is no way of knowing if the drugs mix-up contributed to Joseph Wood's death.
She said: "Understandably Joseph's parents are incredibly angry that the hospital failed to provide the correct treatment to their son as he battled for his life. But it has been worsened by the fact the Trust failed to tell them about what happened and still has given no answers as to why it happened."

But the stories of apostasy still resonate. Westerners don't know that apostasy laws were common at the time when they were promulgated in Sharia. The Economist is sometimes reasonable, but other times indistinguishable in its resort to lazy clichés about Muslims. The new issue of the Economist has a long article about "Atheists and Islam." In the article, all the familiar clichés are squeezed in to draw a most dramatic picture that is worthy of movies about medieval Europe. It operates under the classical premise: that one story about one Muslim suffices to tell the story about all Muslims. And in singling out a story or two about Muslims in the West, the writers don't know that they often fall victim to deception.
In the last few decades, Western governments developed asylum laws which permit a person to obtain legal status if she/he can establish real concern for safety in his/her homeland. I have served as a consultant to many lawyers and law firms in the West and saw the most bizarre stories by people who are desperate to stay legally in the US. Some people talk about how their tribes (even when "the tribe" does not even apply in Damascus or Beirut) will kill them, because they once told a cousin that they are secular. Another claims that his tribe – again – kills its members if they exhibit effeminate tendencies. And many have stumbled on the legal premise of fear of apostasy. They tell a judge (with no background or knowledge of the Middle East) that governments there typically behead apostates.
The Economist's article belongs to this genre. It talks about how only in Turkey and Lebanon atheists can live safely, but only quietly. Where do they get this information from? This doesn't seem to be from someone who know people in the region. I, for one, became an atheist in my teens. My friends and comrades in Lebanon (Lebanese and Palestinians) were also vocal atheists, and none of us faced persecution or even harassment for our views. There is no evidence for any such persecution. Many of my "Facebook friends" are young Arabs who identify their religion as "atheists." And no one is persecuting them. The Saudi government is a rare exception in this case. But Saudi Arabia is often the exception, although it gets good press here in the US. TheEconomist says that eight states in the region have apostasy punishment on the books, but does not say that no one can find one case of implementation of the law in this case, even if you go back decades in time. There is a clear concoction of a dramatic alarmist sensationalism that does not conform to the facts.

Probably not. Head trauma resulting from play or sporting events is a common concern for parents, but few bumps on the head of this nature result in serious injury.
The forehead and scalp have an abundant blood supply and injury to these areas often results in bleeding under the skin. When the bleeding is restricted to one area, it causes bruising and swelling. Doctors refer to this as a hematoma.
Keep in mind that even a minor head bump can cause a large swelling. And the mechanism of injury — speed, momentum and size of the people (full-grown adolescents versus children), and the forces involved (such as a concrete floor or other hard surface) — may increase the possibility of serious injury.
When to see a doctor
Occasionally, a blow to the head may be severe enough to cause bleeding in or around the brain. This type of bleeding can cause an intracranial hematoma, a serious condition that puts pressure on the brain.
See a doctor within one to two days of a head injury, even if emergency care isn't required.
Seek emergency medical attention if your child experiences:
Also seek emergency attention if your child exhibits the following signs or symptoms following a head injury:

Welcome ladies! Thanks for saying hello.
Introduce yourself!
Hi everyone, I stumbled across this site today and cannot believe the wealth of info and how friendly it seems, I so look forward to joining in.
I live in UK and am married with two wonderful kids, a boy and girl. I work full time as a financial director and use photography and over the last year digi scrap-booking and card making as a creative outlet. I found out about Becky Higgins Project Life and started my own digital version last year and have been slowly making my way through all my boxes of memorabilia of my life since meeting my husband 18 years ago, and even more since my children were born!
I use Lightroom to edit my photos and Elements 11 for creating my pages, but I still feel I have so much to learn.
Hi Everyone! I too, am a stumbler. How could I not know of this site before this? I have been digi scrapping for years and thought that I had seen all the sights, and low and behold, I was wrong! I LOVE digi scrapping and my favorite subject du jour, is my sweet little niece.
I live in California and I have been married for 30 1/2 years to the same guy... what can I say? I love the big lug! We have no children, but have had many, many fur babies over the years. Right now we have two dogs Lucy (my very sweet cattle dog), Rusty (a crazy funny and oh so loveable pit bull mix), and a very entertaining cat by the name of Buzz. We had at one time, 7 cats and 3 dogs. Talk about living in a zoo!
I work in the healthcare field and have been at the same job for 27 years. Hubby is retired, and I can't wait to join him; it will be a few years before I can do that. I love to read, fiddle around on the computer and scrap. I use PSE, and hope one day to be able to afford PS. I like to design, so PS would really be awesome to have. So would a tablet. I think I need one of those too.
So happy I found pixel scrapper and the opportunity to meet new friends.
Welcome ladies! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi ppl, my name is Héliton Junior, also knowed as Chronos, another brasilian ppl, 31yo and married with Lorien since 2007. Ok, you can ask later why we dont use our civic names.
Also, i'm not a scrapper, sorry.
I'm a Graphic Designer who works a lot with prints, signs and other graphic stuff, but i become realy impressed on how digi-scrap can be nice, so i wanted to try a bit this world. I love photos and travels (Marisa, I envy you so much), and love waste time working on nice pictures and photos.
Lol, this is my hubby. Guess I talked a lot about Pixel Scrapper with him
Welcome abroad to all the new people. Don´t be ashamed, get involved!
Hi -- I'm Stacy and I currently live in Tucson, AZ.
I'm originally from a small town (yes there is such a thing) in Southern California, called Seal Beach.
I moved here about 21 years ago to go to graduate school. I met my hubby here and have stayed.
I would love to go home some day, but it has been financially impossible. I have two wonderful
kiddos and a ton of pets who all keep me busy. I have been a SAHM for many years now and have
been toying with the idea of going back to the work world. I found your site just a few weeks ago.
I really like your designs. Thank you for all of the freebies you share. I am still a newbie at digi-scrapping.
I paper scrap as well.
@Stacy: Welcome! Thanks for saying hello.
@Héliton: So glad Lórien brought you along!

I own Photoshop Elements 10, but it is taking me a while to figure it out. I would love to hear what others use. The gallery has inspired me with everyone's downloaded pages! Thanks for such a great website and free artwork! I appreciate it!
Hello Marisa & everyone... a friend told me about this site when I was looking for tutorials so I decided to join in too
My full name is Jemima but I would prefer if you call me Jem around the site for personal privacy matters... ~ I'm single & live at home with my Mother as I lost my beloved Father in a work accident in 2001 We miss him dearly... I have one brother Samuel, his lovely wife Michelle & 4 children, James, Stephanie, Jack & Danielle - you will see my family, scenes, animals & flowers in my future layouts!
I love Digital Scrapbooking & have been scrapping for a few years before Digital I was doing Hybrid/Paper Scrapping & I enjoyed that too but it was getting to involved with having to go to different homes & trying to get them involved too... that just wasn't me BUT, don't get me wrong, I tell my friends that I'm now doing Digital Scrapbooking
I am thoroughly enjoying it... & I'm proudly creating for DigiScrap Station_DSS ; Girl in Pink Designs_GIPD ; Scrappin' Wright_SW & Wilma4ever_W4E plus I'm involved with Scrap Girls & other Digital Scrapbooking Sites I use Photoshop Elements 7 (yes I know I need to upgrade again soon!) & have 2 Digital Camera's - 1 Olympus & 1 on my Nokia Mobile Phone. I have a blog that I'm trying to keep updated!
Thanks for your inspiration, tutorials & freebies (that I've been told about!) All much appreciated!
Welcome everyone! Thanks for saying hello!
Hi! I'm Brittany and I'm from Nashville, Michigan. I have a nine month old son and a fiance who I'm scheduled to marry August 2014. I've been paper scrapbooking since I was about 12 (9 years), but just ventured into the digital scrapbooking world. I started a blog to go along with my crochet and photography hobbies, and started playing around with photoshop to make my logo and graphics. Then I found out a friend of mine used photoshop to scrapbook and there was no looking back for me! We're saving for a down payment on a house right now, so since I can't spend a ton of money on digital "supplies", I stumbled onto this website while searching for free elements/kits. I'm absolutely in love with all of the beautiful pieces on this site!
Welcome Brittany! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi, my name is Nancy and I just find this site. I'm from Ontario, Canada. This site is exactly what I was looking for. I would like to start doing digital scrapbooking but I don't have alot of inspiration. Here everything is there.
Sorry, for my bad English my first language is French.
Welcome Nancy! Thanks for saying hello.
Hi everyone,
my name is Vanessa, and I live in the north of France, near Lille.
I am the mother of three (one girl of 5 and two boys of 2 1/2). I married their father last november (but we are living together since 2004). We had a nice black and white cat... though a little fool.
That's my twins' pregnancy that gave me a lot of time to websurfing that enabled me to discover digiscrap. But I only had my first experience a couple of weeks ago when making my wedding album.
I crossed Pixel Scrapper about a year ago for the first time, and love what Marisa and others designers create. I well use their creations for my wedding album. I will try to post some photos soon but they are still quite simple...

VIA Puts Nano CPU in Compact Server
VIA Technologies out of Taiwan is building around its Nano processor the M'SERV S2100 minicomputer for system integrators and OEMs with three USB ports designed for the small office/home office (SOHO) and small to medium enterprise (SME) market.
The forearm-length rectangular box contains a power supply and a Nano processor board (64-bit, 1-2 GHz, 1MB cache and 800MHz FSB). The almost square front includes a USB port and activated LEDs for hard drive and network activity. The back has two USB ports, two Gigabit RJ-45 LAN ports and a VGA monitor port. Two 3.5" SATA-II hard disks are inside that the manufacturer rates at a maximum 4TB. Memory is two DDR2 SSO-DIMM sockets at 533 and 667 MHz bus frequencies. VIA suggests the CompactFlash Type 1 socket makes for a bootable SSD.
Next to the three previous Windows editions, VIA has also tested Ubuntu, SLED and FreeBSD on the device and declares them compatible. The Taipei company sees usage mainly for backup, network video recording or logging services in home or mid-sized enterprises. The compact server is available for OEMs, with specifics as to regions or price not yet known.
The VIA M'SERV S2100 apparently wants to win some points for its design, although it has no new components. Its x86 Nano processor has been on the market since mid-2008, while the new 3000 series has just been recently announced. Details about VIA's Isaiah architecture are in a whitepaper linked from VIA's press release page. Graphics are handled by the VX800 chipset introduced in April 2008.

Tampa >Food & Dining > Elmer's Sports Cafe
2003 E Seventh Ave, Tampa, FL | Directions 3360527.960182 -82.436424
Mon. - Sun. 11am - 12pm
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Historic Ybor
Great Place for Monday Night Football! – Elmer's has great wings, and on Monday's it's all you can eat for about $10.75. Great atmosphere for to watch football with plenty of TVs. Will go here often for MNF. Needs a little work on the bathrooms and outside, but its also a bit divish
How a dive bar should be.. – This is a great place to grab a bite to eat, have a drink, or just watch the big game. Friendly atmosphere, very layed back. I love the wings, they're huge!
An everyman's sports pub plus liquor store. – The Scene
The thick atmosphere may have patrons' lungs crawling for the door, but then they'll remember how the longtime bartenders pour the drinks. Then there's the sports-fan aspect: Know the words to "Hail to the Redskins"? This is your bar. Pool, darts and foosball occupy customers not concentrating on the game. There's a large television on the main stage, and glowing screens everywhere ensure everyone can see the the big play. Live music, usually blues, attempts to lure in more patrons on weekend nights.
The Draw
It's all about full liquor functionality. All the usual bar food is served until 3am, and patrons can enter the liquor store next door through the bar.

Grand Forks drivers enjoy lower gas pricesDrivers around Grand Forks have seen lower gas prices in the last few weeks. Gas prices have been considerably lower than they were at the start and middle of summer.
By: Michael Yoshida, WDAZ
Drivers around Grand Forks have seen lower gas prices in the last few weeks. Gas prices have been considerably lower than they were at the start and middle of summer.
Around Grand Forks today, gas prices are what they've been for the last few weeks, $3.39 for regular unleaded fuel.
According to AAA, that's nearly a dollar less than what record prices averaged in late May and almost 40 cents less than what prices were this time last year. This trend is comparable to other major cities in North Dakota.
Bismarck and Fargo have both seen prices drop between 40 and 50 cents compared to last year. In May both cities also experienced record highs for the average price for regular unleaded fuel. Lower prices that both suppliers and consumers of gasoline are noticing.
"Obviously it's better for everybody when the prices are low. We sell more product. People are more apt to take that vacation and get out and see loved ones," said Scott Dusterhoft, President of Dusterhoft Family Stores.
Noelle: "This weekend I'm going home to Bismarck so I have to take gas prices into consideration when I go home because it takes almost a full tank to get home and back," said UND student Noelle Bachman.
Gas prices are affected by a variety of factors including supply and demand speculation, the prices of crude oil and government regulations.
It's hard to predict how long we will stay at this price as prices are impacted by those three factors. However, local gas station owners say that right now they speculate that prices will remain at similar levels.

From Ray Crump to Chad Cochran to now Jason Howard, Van Akin and the older Indians players have seen three head coaches.
So going from tight end to offensive guard to tailback in less than a year? That's just life on The Creek for players such as Van Akin.
"We'll be all right," he said.
But rolling with constant change is never easy, and that will be the challenge in Howard's first season as his alma mater's head coach.
Howard knows it as well as anyone. He went through three basketball coaches during his days as a three-sport athlete at Ohatchee.
"By my senior year, we had no direction," said Howard, who came to Ohatchee after leading Spring Garden to its most successful run in football. "We went through all three, and all three had different philosophies. We really hadn't grown up in a system or anything."
The same holds true for Ohatchee's most veteran players. They ran some spread offense under Crump and Cochran, but Cochran switched to the option.
In comes Howard, who runs a hybrid wing-T as his base offense.
"When kids are familiar with a system, they have something to fall back on," Howard said. "That's what they don't have here."
It means position changes for players such as Van Akin, who moved to guard during spring practice. He's since moved to tailback, a position he played earlier in his football career, because of an offseason shoulder injury to Caleb Vice.
Zach Mitchell has moved from quarterback to running back.
Brady Kelly, the Indians' lone returning starter on the offensive line, has moved from center to guard.
Riley Curvin moved from running back to wing back/wide receiver.
"We've tried to keep some things that they're used to," Howard said. "Defensively, we've kept a base package that they're used to. We're going to keep that base defense.
"We're just not going to stunt out of it as much. We're going to try to be more sound in just our base."
Howard had a spring practice and 7-on-7 camp with his new team — which helped the transition — but the Indians have had to adjust to more than new Xs and Os.
A new coach means a new approach to offseason programs and discipline.
"One of the big things is we're trying to place some accountability on these kids," Howard said. "You've got to be here. If you're not here, you're going to be punished for it. You're going to have run.
"Getting stronger in the summer is part of getting better in the fall, and that's been one of the hard things is just that accountability part."
Howard said the Indians have adjusted well, and circumstances help. Ohatchee hasn't made the playoffs since 2003 and finished 1-9 in 2009.
A team hungry to win buys in.
Howard also allowed for some continuity by retaining Glenn Toney — the former Saks head coach — and son Randall Toney from Cochran's staff.
There's also a lot of new blood in the program. The Indians got down to 17 varsity players in 2009, and they had 36 headed into fall camp.
There's new blood on the staff, as well. Howard hired former Weaver standout David Beegle and ex-Alexandria star Will Ginn, son of the late coaching great Larry Ginn.
As for Howard, he's the kind of new blood that gets the blood flowing.
"He gets you more fired up than any coach I've ever had," Van Akin said. "He's hyped up about everything."

Loooove them I LOVE my new Miss Me's! These are so cute and can be worn as dressy or casual. They fit perfectly! The chevron print is my fave pair that I've bought so far! They were out of my size on the website, so I went into the store to have them ordered and had them in a week! December 1, 2013
Love Love these jeans, they are very comfortable only complaint is I wish that the inseam came in a shorter length than 31. I'm 5'2" and they drag ill have to get them hemmed. The design on the pockets are incredible and very cute just enough bling. July 15, 2013
My favorite pair of jeans! These jeans are the first pair of miss me I've owned and I must say I was hesitant about buying them after seeing the that were 25% polyester and 2% elastane- I figured they would be too stretch-y and I would have to constantly pull them up, I was wrong. They are the most comfortable pair of jeans I've ever owned, and while they ARE stretch-y they still cling to me and they fit like a glove! Couldn't be happier and the detail on the pockets is stunning! May 16, 2013
LOVE These Jeans I own a lot of Miss Me jeans and these are definitely one of my favorites. They are so comfortable and have the perfect wash. The stones are nice because they do not fall off and the glitz on them looks amazing. I think they look better in person than on the site. Definitely recommend! April 25, 2013

Teko Modise has recovered from his leg injury and will available for selection come Saturday..!
Many here has observed that Teko is bad luck for every team that he played for...!
SSU started winning the league and cups immediately after he left for Bucs..!
Bucs started winning the league and cups immediately after he left for Sundowns....!
My take is that, he was still a Pirates player when they won MTN 8 en route to their first treble...so that myth doesn't hold water for me!
I would like to believe that he is a boost for Sundowns but his presence may see Hlompho being relegated to the bench, a player who gives us more shape in middle of the park...!
I wish Neeskens will see the need to play both Modise and Hlopmpho because for me they complement each other well......!
Welcome back my Captain...you are still one of best attacking players in the current crop of players in SA!
What is your take about his return?
Modise in his own words..."Yes I am ready to play on Saturday and I have played in many cup finals before, but have not won anything so I would love to play and lift the trophy in the Telkom Knockout,"
Views: 243
He contributed a lot in the first treble....!
Thats not true Ntwana. Remember Teko left Pirates in 2011 January and we had only MTN8 in the bag which he didnt contribute a shit kuyo. He was falling all over the place against Chiefs in the second semis when we beat them with Mashegos bizarre goal. hehehehe
But he won man of the match in one of the games moes Lwazi, what do you mean he contributed nothing?
He played more league games prior to leaving in which Pirates won and eventually going on to win the league, there is the contribution I am talking about....he played quarter finals of MTN 8 which Pirates won and eventually winning the cup that is contribution I am talking about..!
Teko Modise is a curse..play him on sat and see if u will win...i was supporting your team all along wishing you can win this cup but if you play this man stru u would loose...why did u win against Celtics in his absence? that was a sign....
We will play him and we will win the Cup, like it or not!!
Modise cursed Sundowns, i have never seen Downs languishing on the bottom of the long for so many games.

Feeling enormous and uncomfortable at 36 weeks pg and my old nursing bras from previous baby were looking tired and stretched - then my HotMILK bra arrives in black (only went for cream/whites before) with a flattering lace trim and before I know it I'm taking a pregnancy selfie to record the bump for posterity! Husband v impressed. Will be ordering another couple as soon as boobs decide what they're doing size-wise! absolutely love this bra.
Posted by Charmaine on 16th Mar 2014
This is my first Baby & I was unconvinced about not only wearing a bra that has no underwire, but ugly nursing bras in general..
Verdict - I now have 3Hotmilk bras including this one & I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
Comfy & Beautiful xox
Posted by Unknown on 6th Mar 2014
I was looking for a supportive but nice looking bra to get me through my breastfeeding months. Due to my size I really struggled to find anything in my local shops so went online. I already have a hotmilk bra from early pregnancy so thought I would try there first. It fits very well all over, it is supportive and comfortable, even at night and looks great.
Posted by Dani on 5th Mar 2014
So stylish yet comfortable and practical for nursing.
Posted by kirsten on 19th Feb 2014
Hotmilk you got it right this bra is fantastic and I just love it along with my other Hotmilk bras and my partner thinks it's sexy to ☺

Our 2013 – 2014 season opens with IN THE NEXT ROOM OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY - the 2010 Tony Award Nominated and Pulitzer Prize Finalist Comedy by Sarah Ruhl. IN THE NEXT ROOM OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY is also our fall 2013 entry in the Arkansas State Kennedy Center, American College Theatre Festival.
Come see what the buzz is all about as we kick start our season with a comedy about marriage, intimacy, and electricity! IN THE NEXT ROOM OR THE VIBRATOR PLAY uses the trappings of 19th-century melodrama to amuse and provoke our 21st-century feelings about the efficacy of science and technology in relieving a most ancient human need: intimacy.

On November 30th, the House passed the Senate amendments to H.R. 4783, Claims Resolution Act. This legislation provides long-delayed justice for tens of thousands of black farmers and hundreds of thousands of American Indians. Among its provisions, the bill contains funding to implement the settlements of the Pigford class action lawsuit involving past discrimination against black farmers by the Agriculture Department and the Cobell class action lawsuit involving funds for American Indians mismanaged by the Interior Department. The funding to implement the Pigford settlement is estimated to be $1.15 billion and to implement the Cobell settlement $3.41 billion and is fully paid for.
The House has passed funding for the Pigford and Cobell settlements twice earlier this year - first in passing the American Jobs and Closing Tax Loopholes Act and then in adopting an amendment to the FY 2010 Supplemental - but the language was blocked by Republicans in the Senate. The Senate finally passed this historic legislation on November 19 by unanimous consent. Passage of this legislation by the House sends the bill to the President's desk for his signature.
Key provisions:
Pigford Class Action Lawsuit Settlement
In 1999, a federal judge approved a settlement agreement in a class action lawsuit (Pigford v Glickman) filed by African American farmers alleging that the Agriculture Department discriminated against black farmers who applied for loans or other assistance. Under that settlement, black farmers who farmed between 1981 and 1996 and who filed a complaint against the department by July 1, 1997, were eligible to seek monetary compensation from the government. The settlement, however, was widely criticized because tens of thousands of African American farmers who filed claims later than the July 1997 cutoff date were denied inclusion in the class to be eligible for compensation.
To provide some relief to those left out of the original action, in Section 14012 of the 2008 Farm Bill, Congress authorized a cause of action for late-filing claimants who were denied a "determination on the merits" of their discrimination claims in the original 1999 Pigford case. Congress also appropriated an initial amount of $100 million in the Farm Bill to be used for payments and debt relief awarded pursuant to those actions, with the understanding that the appropriation only served as a down payment for the claims process.
On February 18 of this year, the Secretary of Agriculture announced that the USDA had reached a settlement with the remaining Pigford claimants on the actions brought based on the provision passed in the 2008 Farm Bill. That settlement, however, was predicated on the appropriation of $1.15 billion by Congress to pay the claims and costs.
This bill now provides this $1.15 billion to fund the resolution of the longstanding Pigford case. The settlement allows for payments to settle discrimination claims by African American farmers under the settlement with the Agriculture Department that have been previously rejected on procedural grounds - i.e., that the claim was filed after the cutoff date of July 1, 1997.
Cobell Class Action Lawsuit Settlement
The measure approves and provides funding for the settlement of a long-running class action lawsuit (Cobell v. Salazar) that alleges that the Interior Department mismanaged billions of dollars in grazing land, gas, oil and other royalties owed to hundreds of thousands of American Indians.
The dispute over the royalties stems from an 1887 law that distributed parcels of land to individual American Indians but did not allow them to control how the land was used. Instead, the properties were placed into trust accounts. In a lawsuit, the lead plaintiff, Elouise Cobell, contended that the account holders were cheated out of their share of the revenue the government received for leasing the land.
The Interior and Justice Departments announced the settlement of the case on December 8, 2009. Under the settlement agreement, a $1.4 billion fund will be used to pay approximately 500,000 plaintiffs, and $2 billion will be used to consolidate land holdings where the presence of multiple heirs has complicated the management of accounts. A portion of the consolidation funding, up to $60 million, will be used to provide scholarships to Native American students.
American Indian Water Rights Agreements
The legislation approves four water rights agreements with American Indian tribes that will provide the tribes with funding to rehabilitate and build new reservoir, irrigation and water distribution systems. The House previously passed legislation approving three of the four agreements. The four water rights agreements are: the White Mountain Apache Tribe agreement, the Taos Pueblo agreement, the Crow Nation agreement, and the Aamodt Litigation Settlement agreement. The bill also provides funding for the Reclamation Water Settlements Fund. The total cost of these provisions is approximately $830 million.
One-Year Extension of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
The legislation extends funding through FY 2011, at the FY 2010 levels, for the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. The bill also extends, for six months, a supplemental TANF grant program for states with high population growth or historically below-average welfare grants.
The measure does not revive a TANF Emergency Jobs program, passed as part of the Recovery Act (PL 111-5), that enabled states to place adults with private employers and youths in summer jobs programs. That funding expired at the end of September after Republicans blocked attempts to extend it.
The bill's cost of $5.4 billion is fully paid for. Following is an overview of the bill's offsets:
- Unemployment Insurance Reform/TANF Extension. The provisions include anti-fraud measures that reduce the number of overpayments of UI benefits by allowing the Treasury Department to offset tax refunds by the amount of UI overpayments to the individual. TANF and related programs are extended with minor technical changes and a new one-time data collection provision. Together, these provisions will produce savings of $2.699 billion.
- Customs User Fees and Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act. The bill extends customs user fees through September 30, 2019. It also terminates any additional payments collected under the 2000 Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act provision prior to October 1, 2007, that have not been liquidated. Together, these provisions will produce savings of $2.135 billion.
- Agriculture Department Surplus. The bill rescinds $562 million in surplus funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC). The Agriculture Department indicates that, because carryover balances in WIC from FY 2010 to FY 2011 are roughly $900 million, this rescission is not expected to have a negative impact on the program. This provision will produce savings of $562 million.
