2447: Can taxes be counted as part of zakaat?
Is it permissible for a person to use part of his zakaat to pay the taxes he is obliged to pay?
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible for the taxes which people pay on their wealth to be counted as part of the zakaat which they are obliged to pay. The obligatory zakaat must be paid separately and spent in the ways prescribed by Allaah in the aayah (interpretation of the meaning): "Al-sadaqaat (here it means zakaat) are only for the fuqara' (poor) and al-masaakeen (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds); and to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Islam); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for Allaah's Cause (i.e., for those fighting in the holy battles), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything)…" [al-Tawbah 9:60]. And Allaah knows best.

Settlement Conference Facilitation Pilot
Settlement Conference Facilitation is a pilot alternate dispute resolution process designed to bring the appellant and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) together to discuss the potential of a mutually agreeable resolution for claims appealed to the Administrative Law Judge hearing level of the Medicare claim appeals process. If a resolution is reached, a settlement document is drafted by the settlement conference facilitator to reflect the agreement and the document is signed by the appellant and CMS at the settlement conference session. As part of the agreement, the requests for an Administrative Law Judge hearing for the claims covered by the settlement will be dismissed.
The settlement conference facilitator uses mediation principles to assist the appellant and CMS in working toward a mutually agreeable resolution. The facilitator does not make official determinations on the merits of the claims at issue and does not serve as a fact finder, but may help the appellant and CMS see the relative strengths and weaknesses of their positions. The settlement conference facilitator is an employee of the Office of Medicare Hearings and Appeals, which is a component of the HHS Office of the Secretary, and is organizationally and functionally separate from CMS.
The OMHA Settlement Conference Facilitation program is different and separate from the CMS Part A option for resolving Part A inpatient admission denials that was announced August 29, 2014. If you are a hospital seeking to resolve Part A claims denied on the basis that an inpatient admission should have been billed as Part B outpatient services, please refer to http://www.cms.gov/Research-Statistics-Data-and-Systems/Monitoring-Programs/Medicare-FFS-Compliance-Programs/Medical-Review/InpatientHospitalReviews.html for information on the CMS resolution option and how to request an Administrative Agreement to exercise the option.
Appeal Eligibility
To be eligible for the Settlement Conference Facilitation (SCF) process:
- A request for hearing must appeal a Medicare Part B Qualified Independent Contractor (QIC) reconsideration decision;
- The appellant must be a Medicare provider or supplier. For the purposes of this pilot, "appellant" is defined as a Medicare provider or supplier that has been assigned a National Provider Identifier (NPI) number (see the Settlement Conference Facilitation Pilot Fact Sheet for more information on this eligibility requirement).
- The beneficiary must not have been found liable after the initial determination or participated in the QIC reconsideration;
- All jurisdictional requirements for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge must be met for the request for hearing and all appealed claims;
- The request for hearing must have been filed in 2013 and not be currently assigned to an Administrative Law Judge;
- The amount of each individual claim must be less than $100,000. For the purposes of an extrapolated statistical sample, the extrapolated amount must be less than $100,000.
- At least 20 claims must be at issue, or at least $10,000 must be in controversy if fewer than 20 claims are involved;
- There cannot be an outstanding request for OMHA statistical sampling for the same claims; and
- The request must include all of the appellant's pending appeals for the same item or service at issue that meet the SCF criteria. For example, if an appellant has 50 wheelchair appeals pending that meet the requirements above, the appellant must submit a request for SCF for all 50 wheelchair appeals.
- Appellants may submit an SCF request for appeals involving multiple items or services, provided the appellant has included all of the appeals that meet the above eligibility requirements in its SCF request, for all of the items or services involved in the appeals.
- Appellants may not request an SCF for some but not all of the items or services included in a single appeal. For example, if an individual appeal has at issue 10 diagnostic tests and 10 drugs/biologicals, an appellant may not request that the diagnostic tests go to SCF and the drugs/biologicals go to hearing.
Beneficiary-initiated appeals of QIC reconsiderations are not included in this pilot because those appeals are being prioritized for a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge. Medicare Part A, Medicare Part C, Medicare Part D, and appeals of Social Security Administration decisions regarding entitlement, Part B late enrollment penalties, and Part B and Part D income related monthly adjustment amounts (IRMAAs) are not eligible for the Settlement Conference Facilitation process at this time. In addition, requests for reviews of QIC dismissals are not eligible for the Settlement Conference Facilitation process.
Settlement Conference Facilitation Facts and Process
We encourage you to read the entire Settlement Conference Facilitation Pilot Fact Sheet and process flowchart linked in the Downloads section before requesting a settlement conference. Please continue to visit this site for the most up-to-date instructions and helpful templates for requesting a settlement conference.
Requesting Settlement Conference Facilitation
You must complete a written request for SCF and a spreadsheet providing detailed information on the claims in your request for SCF. While use of the pre-formatted templates (see Downloads section) is not mandatory, all of the information requested in the templates must be provided. If any information is missing or information is not easily identifiable or discernable by the settlement conference processing team, you will receive notice of the deficiency in your request and will be given 10 calendar days from receipt of the notice to resolve the deficiency. Failure to resolve identified deficiencies will result in rejection of your request and your appeals will be returned to the standard hearing process for adjudication.
In addition to submitting a written request for SCF and a claim spreadsheet, you must complete the Settlement Conference Facilitation Agreement of Participation. Failure to complete the agreement will result in a rejection of your request for a settlement conference.
Rejection of a request for SCF is not appealable. Prior to requesting SCF, please read the Settlement Conference Facilitation Pilot Fact Sheet, Process Flowchart, Request for Settlement Conference Facilitation Template, Settlement Conference Facilitation Request Spreadsheet, Settlement Conference Facilitation Agreement of Participation, and the Settlement Conference Facilitation Standard Settlement Terms.

Colleges cut ties with Bill Cosby as the list of women accusing him of sexual assault hits 20Peter Holley
A bad month keeps getting worse for Bill Cosby. As recently as a week ago, 16 women had accused the legendary comedian of sexual assault. Now, that number stands at 20 — and the fallout is mounting. On Wednesday, the Berklee School of Music and Cosby's alma mater, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, became the latest institutions to cut ties with the 77-year-old comedian as more women stepped forward with accusations.

Strauss: Bill Cosby's alma mater cuts ties with besieged entertainerValerie Strauss
The University of Massachusetts at Amherst, where Bill Cosby was awarded a doctorate more than 35 years ago, has asked him to resign as an honorary co-chair of the school's capital campaign. Cosby agreed to step down. The action comes after at least two other universities took action to sever ties with Cosby, who has been accused by numerous women of drugging and sexually assaulting them years ago. Berklee College of Music in Boston, where Cosby was awarded an honorary degree a decade ago, announced that it would no longer award a scholarship in Cosby's name, and High Point University in North Carolina has removed him from its national board of advisers, the Boston Globe reported. Cosby was awarded a Ph.D. in education in 1977 at the the University of Massachusetts at Amherst school after completing his thesis titled "An Integration of the Visual Media Via Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids (1972) into the Elementary School Curriculum as a Teaching Aid and Vehicle to Achieve Increased Learning." The awarding of the doctorate — through an unconventional program for successful professionals who could earn credit through work — became controversial after a former member of his doctoral thesis committee wrote that Cosby did little course work toward his doctorate and was awarded credit for doing things such as appearing on Sesame Street. The besieged Cosby had been serving as an honorary co-chair of the university's current $300 million fundraising campaign, but that relationship has now been severed. Ed Blaguszewski, executive director of news and media relations for the university, sent the following statement in an e-mail late Thursday: Read full article >>
Retailers adjust as lines between in-store and digital shopping blurSarah Halzack
The scenes at major retailers have become a Thanksgiving Day ritual: Long lines, packed parking lots and shopping carts filled to the brim with bargain TVs and gaming consoles. But while the clamor may look the same, retailers are facing a new reality this year as they kick off the holiday shopping season: The customers visiting their stores often started browsing long before they showed up, and for many, their actual purchase will happen long after.

Wonkblog: Democrats have a new internal battle: the middle class vs. the poorZachary A. Goldfarb
Two internal Democratic Party disputes this week are surfacing tensions over who the party should focus on: the poor or the middle class. On Tuesday, an emerging $450 billion tax deal on Capitol Hill hit a snag when liberal Democrats and the White House insisted it also include a permanent expansion of low-income tax credits that have been a quiet but critical feature of President Obama's anti-poverty policy since 2009. Before the uproar, Democrats appeared willing to accept the deal, which was to extend tax provisions benefiting industries large and small, in part because Republicans agreed to include a tax credit that makes it easier to pay for college. That is largely a middle-class policy. Read full article >>

D.C. protestors join thousands in nationwide Walmart strikes for higher pay, full-time workJohn Gonzalez
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Walmart workers and some union groups backing them protested across the country in their largest Black Friday demonstration ever. They're calling on Walmart—and its owners, the Waltons—to commit to paying $15 an hour, and providing full-time work and fair schedules. The timing is no coincidence; on what is the busiest shopping day of the year, many Walmart employees were on strike. Tensions escalated quickly as protestors tried to enter the Walmart on H Street NW; they clashed with D.C. police and the doors were temporarily shut down. Some shoppers complained the protestors got in the way of their Black Friday shopping. "We really don't appreciate that. I don't think that was nice at all," one woman said. "We couldn't even get out of the store," another shopper added. "We don't even know what [the protest] is about." Touted as the largest Black Friday mobilization ever, calls are intensifying for the Waltons to commit to a pay raise and provide full-time work. "You can't even get an apartment for part time with $8. It's just hard to even survive," said Walmart employee Laura Battles. Nationwide, workers and their supporters planned more than 1,600 such strikes at Walmart stores on Black Friday. The mega-retailer currently brings in $16 billion in annual profits. Most Walmart workers say they make less than $25,000 a year. Are these workers unfairly putting a stronghold on their employer? Ernest Reed is a worker who isn't protesting. "I make a great living wage at Walmart," he said. The Walmart CEO has said only 6,000 of the 1.4 million employees are paid minimum wage. "Walmart has afforded me the opportunity that many other companies have not," Reed said. "I'm 62 years old; I'll be 63 in April."
Rotary Club of West Springfield ensures needy military families enjoy a Thanksgiving mealJay Korff
SPRINGFIELD, Va. (WJLA) – Go to any food bank in the area, and you'll see the need; people are struggling to put food on the table this holiday season, including those who fight for our freedom. Thanksgiving is when we cherish the bounty and reflect upon all we have. With more than 40 years of military service between them, friends Rick Cernohorsky and Pam Campbell know full well the measure of sacrifice. That's why as members of the Rotary Club of West Springfield, they donate and pack up a holiday spread for the needy every year. "We are so blessed we want to give back," Cernohorsky said. "This is one of our popular events is packing food to give to people who are less fortunate than us." "Last year we did 24 boxes. This year we did 43, because there's an even greater need in this area to support the military," Campbell added. The boxes Cernohorsky and Campbell helped pack are bound for military families at nearby Fort Belvoir. "It is amazing what little they make for giving up their lives for their nation," Cernohorsky said. In fact, base pay for the lowest-ranking active duty soldier in America is around $18,000. Add a couple of children to the mix, and that family falls below the poverty line. Many Rotary Club members believe the people who risk their lives to defend the nation deserve more. "We just gotta do better for our military," Cernohorsky said. Mary Smallenburg picked up her box a few days before Thanksgiving at the Lorton Community Action Center. Now she has what she needs to make a memorable Thanksgiving meal for her military family. "My family and I have been coming to the Lorton Community Action Center now for four years," she said. "It means quite a bit. We don't need to let the kids know that we're hurting financially; things just go on as usual." "Living in a community like ours that's very expensive, they have needs. So, we're hoping that this makes their life a little bit better, at least for a couple of days," Cernohorsky concluded.

Food and Friends provides Thanksgiving meal for hundreds of chronically ill patientsSuzanne Kennedy
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – One local non-profit helped provide a Thanksgiving meal on Thursday for several thousand people in need. More than 700 volunteers and staff at Food and Friends prepared and organized a full meal for people like breast cancer patient Naomi Ryan. For 26 years, Food and Friends has brought a turkey dinner to the homes of patients with HIV/AIDS and other chronic illnesses. "People feel very vulnerable particularly at the holidays when they are sick, so the outreach from volunteers is important," said Food and Friends Executive Director Craig Shniderman. "The food is essential, but people are hungry for relationships as well." It is a massive undertaking to provide 3500 meals—or 9800 pounds of turkey, 1,000 pounds of potatoes and 780 pounds of green beans. Thursday marked breast cancer patient Naomi Ryan's second thanksgiving receiving a meal from food and friends. "I'm thankful for Food and Friends to be able to bring a Thanksgiving meal that really I don't think we could afford to get everything. It's just a blessing for my family and I," said Ryan.
Only on 7: Prince George's County teacher reunites with her Thanksgiving heroes who saved her lifeJoce Sterman
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WJLA) – Brittney Carlson has waited years to give thanks to man who saved her life three years on Thanksgiving. To Carlson, Andre Matlock is an angel on earth. "See I can run now, stand—all thanks to you," said Carlson to Matlock when the two were finally reunited. On a Thanksgiving morning three years ago along a stretch of Watkins Park Drive in Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Matlock helped save Carlson life after she was involved in a car accident. Her car had been hit and it was badly damaged— so was she. Broken bones all over her body left Carlson trapped in the car. "That's when I saw the flames under my car and I was like I gotta get out of here, but Irealized my leg wasn't working," said Carlson. But as her car burned, Matloc .and another man pulled Carlson to safety. "Everything happened so fast. It was just a reaction. I'd do it again for someone else," said Matlock. What Matlock did was save her life. And on Thursday, Carlson gave thanks to Matlock for his actions. – "When someone saves your life, saying thank you doesn't explain it. I can't explain the thanks i have for you in my heart," said Carlson. and with hearts full and wounds healed...this pair is meeting again. closure - a holiday gift....for both of them. "To see her, how she is today, that's another blessing," said Matlock.
Woodson prevails over Ballou in 2014 Turkey BowlSam Ford
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – This year's D.C. Turkey Bowl was anything but boring. It was a tight game between perennial champs Woodson Warriors and the Ballou Knights, but Woodson prevailed again, beating the Knights 16-12. For many, the Turkey Bowl is not just about the football. It's also about school spirit, family and seeing old friends again. "It's an annual reunion where a lot of the football players can talk about the play they made back in 2006," said one fan. This year's Turkey Bowl featured performance by Ballou's band With their win on Thursday, Woodson has now won about a third of all the Turkey Bowls.
Residents camp out, line up for Thanksgiving Day holiday dealsJeff Goldberg, Tom Roussey
FAIRFAX, Va. (WJLA) – It's the kind of camping trip where the sweetness comes not from smores, but from deals. From Best Buy to Target, hundreds of shoppers waited all day to guarantee a good price on anything from tech to toys. "I couldn't sleep. I had to get up," said Harris Cabrera. At the Kmart in Annandale, Virginia, shoppers only had to wait until 6 a.m. to get started. "There's such great deals. You gotta get it. You just gotta get it," said resident Sherry Robinson. At Walmart, it looked like any other day with many people still shopping for the big meal…like diedre rector of chantilly… "I just needed a quick stop, get my daughter something, a couple last minute things so i was happy they were open" The decision to spend Thankgiving Day in front of a closed store certainly isn't for everyone, but if you ask resident Mark Burroughs, there's no need to choose between eating and waiting. "All you're gonna do is sit around the house anyway you might as well sit around somewhere and be productive," said Burroughs.

Annual Safeway Feast of Sharing feeds needy families in D.C.Diane Cho
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – Thousands of D.C. residents came together Wednesday to sit down and share in a Thanksgiving dinner, one that many of them would not get to enjoy if not for the Feast of Sharing event. For some, having a Thanksgiving meal filled with turkey, mashed potatoes and stuffing isn't possible at home. Frances Johnson is one of those people. "I'm still here struggling, still fighting," she said. "It's hard when you can't find work, you've been sick, you're waiting on workman's comp." Johnson is a single mother who has been trying to make ends meet while raising her 9-year-old daughter. "You've gotta pay bills, you gotta pay rent. A Thanksgiving meal is about $50 or $60. I can pay a light bill," she said. Thousands of people showed up in droves at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center for the annual Safeway Feast of Sharing to help those in need. "It's so much of a family atmosphere," Johnson said. "We don't even know these people. But we all sit down together and eat and enjoy each other. I think it's beautiful. You always meet new people." For volunteers, each plate served as a reminder that they were making a difference in someone else's life. "Thanksgiving is really about giving," said volunteer K.K. Brown, Chuck Brown's daughter. "You help people less fortunate than you, and you will have many blessings. So, it's all about giving back." Volunteer Nick Champeau added, "It's a gift to you, it's a gift to yourself … it's a very small sacrifice of time and energy, and it's a great heartwarming experience for you." Even though Johnson plans on returning to the Feast of Sharing in the future, she hopes by this time next year she'll find herself on the other side, wearing an apron instead. "I know how it was when I didn't have, so I will definitely come back and give back," she said. The event also featured a job fair to help attendees get back on their feet, along with clothes to take home if they needed them.

Let?s talk turkey: USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline answers your Thanksgiving cooking questionsKevin Lewis
WASHINGTON (WJLA) – The USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline fields 80,000 calls a year from citizens worried about the safety of their meat, poultry and eggs. Not surprisingly, November is the hotline's busiest month. ABC 7 News spoke with the information specialists who answer the calls. Many people run into problems, they say, when trying to find shortcuts to traditional cooking methods – trying to thaw the turkey too quickly or cook it too quickly. "They want to cook the turkey and then drive five hours and serve it there, hot, " says technical information specialist Marianne Gravely. "Or, they want to save time, so they want to cook it a little bit every day and then finish it off on Thanksgiving. Sometimes they take something easy and make it complicated." Tina Hanes, the team lead, described one woman who scrubbed her turkey clean, inside and out, with a scouring pad. She wondered if the turkey, with scouring pad wires still in it, was safe to eat. "I would say no," Hanes said. "We had to condemn that turkey." The job can be tough when talking to less fortunate callers, says technical information specialist Clara Yuvienco. "It's very difficult to have to tell them to throw the food way, when I know that they don't have enough resources to buy additional quantities of new food," she said. The staff says they recognize the importance of this holiday meal to many families. Says Gravely, "Maybe somebody else has been hosting this meal for years, and it's finally their turn." For those with last-minute problems, the hotline is open Thanksgiving Day, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST. Click here for a link to the USDA's Top Turkey resources.
ABC's Robin Roberts surprises Gaithersburg unsung hero for Thanksgiving specialABC News, Jummy Olabanji
GAITHERSBURG, Md. (ABC News/WJLA) - It's a Thanksgiving holiday special like no other when ABC News anchor Robin Roberts canvasses the country in search of America's unsung heroes and celebrates them with surprises that will profoundly change their lives as part of "Thank You America!" airing Thanksgiving evening from 8-9 p.m. on WJLA-TV ABC7. Perfect for the whole family to gather and watch this Thanksgiving holiday, "Thank You, America!" shines a light on the American spirit of gratitude. From a sanitation worker - Arnold Harvey of Gaithersburg - who, along with his wife, founded a food pantry that feeds countless of homeless people, to a couple who have foster parented more than 90 children throughout the years – transforming lives and giving young people a new lease on life – "Thank You, America!" recognizes ordinary people doing extraordinary things in their communities. There is also special tribute to the men and women of The United States Armed Forces, many of whom are separated from their families and loved ones during this time of the year. Additionally, global music superstar Taylor Swift talks with Robin Roberts about Thanksgiving and all that she is thankful for this holiday season.

It was a really good week for Sam Trickett when he played and won $10.1 million in World Series of Poker Big One for One Drop. But, the adrenaline and glow of winnings quickly went away when he was beat up outside the casino in Vegas by six men.
The British poker player tweeted about the incident and even released a photo of the damage done to his face.
Was having a great day until 6 guys did this to me.Seriously Wtf? Couldn't be more angry… #cowards twitter.com/Samtrickett1/s…

His girlfriend even received some punishment from the alleged attackers, as she was spat on, according to another Tweet from Trickett:
Is this what happens if ur successful? literally beat the **** out of me and spat in @NatashaSandhu face all over nothing…
— Sam Trickett (@Samtrickett1) July 5, 2012
I find it difficult that this was just a verbal altercation, but whatever. Pretty nasty looking shots he took. But the money he recently won will help soften the pain as he recovers.
