Program Fraud
Jennifer Lowery
Deputy Chief
Health Care Fraud section AUSAs work closely with agents from the FBI, DHHS, the Texas Attorney General's Office and the Medicare/Medicaid Fraud Task Force to ensure the integrity of the programs that provide health care for the nation's poor, disabled and elderly. The aggressive pursuit of doctors and other health care professionals, home health care services, ambulance companies, medical equipment suppliers and physical therapy clinics that fraudulently bill Medicare or Medicaid millions of dollars for services that were never rendered are a primary focus of this section. Recent prosecutions have resulted in significant prison time for Dr. Arun Sharma and Dr. Kiran Sharma who ran pain management clinics and falsely billed Medicare and Medicaid for more than $60 million. Working closely with AUSAs from the Asset Forfeiture Section and the Civil Division, prosecutors were able to restrain and subsequently recover over $40 million from the defendants. Other prosecutions involve doctors and dentists accepting kickbacks, owners of durable medical equipment companies falsely billing Medicare for motorized wheelchairs that were unnecessarily prescribed and ambulance companies fraudulently billing for medically unnecessary transportation.

Happy 2010 – I'm still here!
Contrary to what some of you might think, I'm still here and active. I've had some problems with this site for a bit, and we finally got it working again. I only hope that some of you still care enough to check in. I'm planning on doing a blog entry once a week, on any topic that interests anybody. If you have a weird question or an idea for a bizarre blog post, please drop me a line, either through a comment here on the site, or to my email: lpreble at cox.net
Let's make some bizarro blogs!Posted by Laura on January 5th, 2010 under Uncategorized | Comment now »
A new post at last!
If anyone has wondered whether I'm still around or not, the answer is no. No, I'm not really here. It's all an elaborate hoax perpetrated by the Man.
Anyway, hope your holidays are jolly. One of my resolutions for next year is to blog more frequently. Of course, since my last post was in January, I'd guess any amount of blogging would help me accomplish my goal of blogging more frequently, huh?
Cheers.Posted by Laura on December 13th, 2009 under Uncategorized | Comment now »
Post from some of the coolest geeks ever!
I wanted to share this most excellent post I received from Maggie, a fan who, along with her friends Jess, Elisha, and Jessica, created a youtube interpretation of QUEEN GEEK SOCIAL CLUB. Check out the link to their movie!
From Maggie:
Hi there!Â
I just wanted to let you know about a video that a few of my friends and I made together. First, let's take a look at how we found out about your amazing books.Â
Our friend Jess read an article on The Queen Geek Social Club (we fondly refer to it as QGSC). She was really excited about it so her and I went out and each bought a copy. She read hers and then lent it to our friend Elisha, then I read mine and lent it to our friend Jessie. We were hooked. We had so much in common with them that we decided that we were Queen Geeks too. We even referred to the girls that were too skinny for their own good as Twinkies. We then went out and bought QGIL. When we got the second one it was during the week of the SAT's at our private school (Scholastic Achievement Tests, not Standardized Aptitude Tests) so every time we had stopped the end of our section and take out a book we would pick up yours. I kept hearing Jess cracking up next to me though. I believe it was that weekend that we were painting Jess' bedroom (well, flicking different colors of paint onto her white walls, to be more exact) and then we decided hey! why not paint our jeans!? They were old anyways because we had chosen them to get some paint on them that day. So we painted different things on them and then took out the sharpies. Oh yes. We took out the books and wrote down our favorite quotes (we had underlined them as we went along) on our jeans. Those our now our lovely geek jeans. Another time we rented the original The Day the Earth Stood Still to watch together. We've had two annual Star Wars marathons together also, always followed by a 3 AM light saber fight. This spring, we our holding our own National Invisible Boy Day. We are in the process of coming out with our bi-monthly magazine: Geek Chic. We have even made a Geek Green drink- non-alcoholic of course.Â
Now aside from all of that we have begun one new venture. The Adventures of the Queen Geeks.Â
That is the first episode and the second is under way. Yes, we are making videos inspired by your book. We don't claim that you wrote these or anything. We simply use your books as inspiration and are trying to get the word out there that it's a good thing to be smart and not ignorant. We have Shelby, Becca and Euphoria. I just wanted to say that we love your books and that it was one of the first things that really helped us form our entire friendship.Â
Thank you for writing these.Â
Sincerely yours,
Maggie C.
(On behalf of Jessica B., Elisha H. and Jessie A.)Â

Great review from TEENSREADTOO!
PROM QUEEN GEEKS by Laura Preble
Category: Â Contemporary
Age Recommendation: Â Grades 9+
Release Date: Â 9/2/08
Publisher: Â Berkley
Reviewed by: Â Randstostipher "tallnlankyrn" Nguyen
Rating: Â 4 Stars
It's been awhile since The Queen Geek Social Club has taken their next step in trying to conquer the world. And
Becca is getting pretty antsy about the sudden lack of ideas.
Desperately trying to become sane once again, she's on the hunt to find that one thing that everyone is crazy about. Is
it just a coincidence or luck that prom season has just arrived?
Despite the constant reminders from Fletcher and Carl, Shelby and Becca aren't too sure they want to accompany
their boyfriends to the worst social event in the history of high school. Although Shelby actually wouldn't mind going
with Fletcher, who is a shoo-in for court, choosing Fletcher's side could possibly push Becca over the edge, and we
all know what kind of trouble that would cause.
What's Becca's solution to this problem? Geek Prom! The first ever prom that isn't about the fancy dresses, the
overpriced tickets, and the need to become the queen and king for one night. Sure, it may take some time and lots of
effort to complete this mission, especially when certain people, including boyfriends, aren't so hot on the idea that it is
to be held on the same night as the "normal" prom.
All the Queen Geeks seem perfectly fine with this plan – who would dare cross Becca? Maybe Shelby? Trying to
sustain her relationship with Fletcher while tending to Becca's crazy idea isn't the easiest thing in the world.
Of course, Shelby isn't the only one with love troubles.  Carl is definitely not happy with Becca, but who needs him
when the newest queen geek, Evie, is like her clone?  And Shelby's dad just found himself in a pickle when a certain
someone interrupts his relationship with Becca's mom.
Two proms, one night, plenty of drama.
Hilariously entertaining, PROM QUEEN GEEKS carries on the momentum from the previous two novels in the
series. The characters are crazier, the relationships are even cuter, and the beginning, middle, and end will make you
squeal with excitement. Laura Preble continues to satisfy her fans with this great series that will ultimately make the
reader want to strike up their own Geek Prom.

Please review
Hey – if you have a copy of PROM QUEEN GEEKS and have read it (and hopefully liked it), could you please go on amazon and/or Barnes and Noble.com and review it? So far there are no reviews at all. This may be partially because no one can seem to find the book! I've had many emails from frustrated readers who complain that they go to their local book conglomerate and cannot find it. You can always order online, or through my favorite indie bookstore, Mysterious Galaxy, where I am the affiliate of the month. Anyway, if you could do a geek a favor, I would appreciate it, and I'll give you a ride in my invisible jet.Posted by Laura on September 7th, 2008 under Uncategorized | Comment now »

Generalized context-free grammar
Generalized Context-free Grammar (GCFG) is a grammar formalism that expands on context-free grammars by adding potentially non-context free composition functions to rewrite rules.[1] Head grammar (and its weak equivalents) is an instance of such a GCFG which is known to be especially adept at handling a wide variety of non-CF properties of natural language.
A GCFG consists of two components: a set of composition functions that combine string tuples, and a set of rewrite rules. The composition functions all have the form , where is either a single string tuple, or some use of a (potentially different) composition function which reduces to a string tuple. Rewrite rules look like , where , , ... are string tuples or non-terminal symbols.
The rewrite semantics of GCFGs is fairly straight forward. An occurrence of a non-terminal symbol is rewritten using rewrite rules as in a context-free grammar, eventually yielding just compositions (composition functions applied to string tuples or other compositions). The composition functions are then applied, reducing successively reducing the tuples to a single tuple.
A simple translation of a context-free grammar into a GCFG can be performed in the following fashion. Given the grammar in (1), which generates the palindrome language , where is the string reverse of , we can define the composition function conc as in (2a) and the rewrite rules as in (2b).
The CF production of abbbba is
and the corresponding GCFG production is
Linear Context-free Rewriting Systems (LCFRSs)[edit]
Weir (1988)[1] describes two properties of composition functions, linearity and regularity. A function defined as is linear if and only if each variable appears at most once on either side of the =, making linear but not . A function defined as is regular if the left hand side and right hand side have exactly the same variables, making regular but not or .
A grammar in which all composition functions are both linear and regular is called a Linear Context-free Rewriting System (LCFRS), a subset of the GCFGs with strictly less computational power than the GCFGs as a whole, which is weakly equivalent to multicomponent Tree adjoining grammars. Head grammar is an example of an LCFRS that is strictly less powerful than the class of LCFRSs as a whole.

When we get consumed with a new business idea, we tend to get tunnel vision. Lots of life can fall by the wayside as we hone in on perfecting our idea. But being an entrepreneur is about being well-rounded, and here are a few ideas that you can use to build well-rounded entrepreneurial strengths.
Take an improv class
Improv groups or classes put a bunch of people in a room where they improvise scenes based on a set scenario. Basically, your life as an entrepreneur but with more laughs. You'll feel a little silly, yes. But there's nothing like improv to help you master being fast on your feet and work seamlessly as a team.
Need a few ideas to get a feel for what improv is like? Check out these story starter prompts for a good sense of what you'd encounter in an improv class.
Train for something difficult
The Ironman, a triathlon, the Tough Mudder, even just getting a nice six pack. It's all about cultivating discipline, even when you don't feel getting out of bed. Because if you don't show up to support your own business, who will?
Not ready to put the pedal to the metal? You can still use the mental tricks of elite athletes to triumph over challenging business situations. Check out these 10 tips from the authors of Fit Soul, Fit Body: 9 Keys to a Healthier, Happier You.
Learn to meditate
Meditation is just starting to be studied in a rigorous scientific way, but the results are fairly astonishing. Learn to meditate and you'll deal with conflict better, have enhanced concentration, and just a general calm in the face of adversity. Which is something all entrepreneurs can benefit from.
Discover the stress relieving, body repairing and general well-being enhancing qualities of a meditation practice.
Play a team sport
There's a reason that often sports greats make excellent entrepreneurs. Think of Michael Jordan, for instance. Athletes know how to rally a team around them and they also know how to sacrifice in pursuit of a goal. Now get out there and join a team.
Join the Toastmasters
Toastmasters Clubs are everywhere and they are a great way to practice your public speaking skills around a welcoming and accepting crowd. Need more tips on public speaking, especially if you're new to it? Check out this informative article from public speaking expert LeeAundra Temescu.
The business comes first right? But all of us could do for some perspective once in a while. Find something you are passionate about -- whether it be your local park, a cause, or an organization -- and give it a little time. The organization will surely be thrilled to have an entreuprenurial minded person on board.
And did you know that some of the best volunteer opportunities for entrepreneurs are virtual ones? Drumming up sponsor support, help with websites and other IT infrastructure, writing emails and providing brochure copy are just a few of the ideas that can have you out helping others and building your reputation to boot!

It might still be September (one day left!), but it is already flu shot season, well, at least it's already flu shot season.
And while inaccurate rumors and overconfidence in one's ability to stay healthy prevents people from getting the flu shot, it really is an important thing to do, according to Mary Lenzini, CEO of the Visiting Nurse Association of Southeastern Connecticut. The more people who get the flu shot, the less likely anybody gets the flu, Lenzini said.
"The more people who get vaccinated, the less chance it has of spreading," Lenzini said. "It is a pretty effective vaccine."
The Central Connecticut Health District wil offer three types of vaccination - nasal spray vaccine (available to any healthy person age 4 through 49), injectable and preservative-free injectable - during its October clinics in Rocky Hill.
Lenzini strongly encouraged elderly people, people with medical issues and pregnant women to get the shot, which is covered by most insurance companies or otherwise is around $14. It is children who are the most likely to pass around the disease, but adults actually get sicker from it, she said. In other countries, it is mandated that all children get the flu vaccination, but that has never been the case in the United States, Lenzini said.
While flu season is still generally considered a few months away, now is a good time to get the vaccination, as it will not wear out, she said. Conversely, it takes about two weeks to kick in, so if people wait too long it can be too late, Lenzini said.
She added that hand washing and covering one's cold is still "one of the best things you can do," but said the flu shot is a "very safe vaccine." The vaccination is made each year based on what are the common flu strands in other countries, so it as effective as possible, she said.
She said many people don't get the flu shot because they say they never get the flu, although she said this is "very, very good insurance" that will remain true. Although effective, it is still possible to get the flu after getting a flu shot, but even then people generally don't get as sick from it, Lenzini added.
Locally, here are some clinics and pharmacies that are already offering the flu shot. And make sure to check with your doctor about the shot's availability.
- Velocity Urgent Care, Cromwell Avenue
- Central Connecticut Health District, Rocky Hill Community Center (see attached PDfs for more details)
- Various pharmacies throughout town (see the Rocky Hill Patch Directory for a list of pharmacies)
If anybody has any questions about the flu shot, they can call the Visiting Nurse Association of Southeastern Connecticut at 860-444-1111 or go to the website by clicking here. Most of the upcoming flu shot clinics put on by the VNASC can be found on the Patch calendar. People can also get flu shots at most pharmacies.
More Information About The Flu
According to the Center of Disease Control, there are between 3,000 and 49,000 flu-associated deaths each year, mostly to elderly people. Also, people who have a severe allergy to chicken eggs, children under six-months-old, people with a fever and people with a history of Guillain-Barre Syndrome should not get the flu shot, according to the CDC.

For two years, I'd pestered my 49 year old wife about making love to another man while I watched. I was rejected every time as she wanted no part in doing something that she thought wasn't right. She also thought at her age no man would even want her. I had been my wife's only partner and after more than 20 years of marriage I wanted to see her so badly with another man. Our love life was...Read On

CENTENNIAL, Colo. — The judge in the Colorado theater shootings refused again Wednesday to make a decision on whether to order a Fox News reporter to reveal her confidential sources for a story she wrote last year.
In the article, New York-based reporter Jana Winter cited anonymous law-enforcement sources who said shooting suspect James Holmes sent a notebook containing violent drawings to a University of Colorado, Denver, psychiatrist before the attack.
Holmes, who had been a student at the university, is charged with fatally shooting 12 people and injuring 70 at a movie theater in the Denver suburb of Aurora on July 20. A judge has entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
Holmes' lawyers want to know the names of the officials who spoke to Winter. They argue the leak violated a gag order and could weaken the credibility of those officials if they are called to testify in a trial.
Defense attorney Rebecca Higgs suggested Wednesday that law-enforcement officers may have lied under oath when they denied speaking to Winter. That was sufficient reason to require Winter to testify, Higgs said.
Pacing and gesturing, Higgs argued the issue is whether a law enforcement officer decided to "flat-out lie."
Judge Carlos Samour Jr. said he would not make a decision on Winter's sources until he rules on whether the notebook will be admitted as evidence, reiterating a written order he issued Monday.
He told Winter she would have to return for another hearing Aug. 19.

Twelve persons alleged to be illegally in the United States appeared in United States District Court in Benton on March 31, 2011, on charges that they illegally entered the United States from Mexico after having previously been removed from this country, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, announced today. Eight of the defendants were charged with that offense by a Federal Grand Jury on March 24, 2011. Specifically, the Grand Jury charged Luis Alberto Jimenez-Sandoval, 29 of Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico, and Efrain Garcia- Garcia, 46 of Hidalgo, Michoacan, Mexico, with committing that offense on March 4, 2011, after they were found in Effingham, Illinois, on that date. The Grand Jury also charged Jose Victor Martinez-Garcia, 22 of Concepcion Amenas, Guatemala, Amado Martinez-Maya, 25 of Ocampo, Michoacan, Mexico, Marta Palacios-Rivas, 29 of Puerto Rivera, El Salvador, Humberto Figueroa- Roldan, 50 of Las Minas, Chiquimula, Guatemala, Hector Hernandez-Romero, 23 of Teran, Chiapas, Mexico, and Carlos Montes De Oca-Dominguez, 25 of Hidalgo, Michoacan, Mexico, with committing that offense on March 8, 2011, after each of these six were also found in Effingham on that date. Four other defendants were charged with committing the illegal reentry offense on March 4, 2011, in separate criminal complaints filed by the United States Attorney's Office on March 31st. The criminal complaints allege that those four defendants were also found in Effingham.
An indictment or a criminal complaint is a charge against a defendant. Under the law, a defendant is presumed to be innocent of a charge until proved guilty beyond a reasonable doubt to the satisfaction of a jury.
All twelve defendants were ordered held without bond and remanded to the custody of the United States Marshal pending further proceedings. All eight defendants charged in the indictment were given trial dates of May 31, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. at the United States Courthouse in Benton.
The cases were investigated by the Homeland Security Investigations division of Immigration, Customs, and Enforcement (ICE) and the Effingham County Sheriff's Department. The cases are being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys James M. Cutchin and Michael C. Carr.

Real-time Feedback and Residential Electricity Consumption: The Newfoundland and Labrador Pilot
AbstractA pilot study was undertaken in Newfoundland and Labrador to determine whether provision of a real-time feedback device is sufficient to provide residential customers with the information needed to reduce their electricity consumption. A panel based econometric methodology, which controlled for such factors as weather, appliance and housing stock, and demographic determinants influencing electricity consumption, was used to quantify the impacts of the realtime monitor in reducing energy (kWh) use. The study also provided some important insights about socio-economic factors that influence conservation responsiveness, a feature that may assist in developing targeted energy efficiency programs. For example, the electric water heating households showed a higher savings than non-electric water heating households. While positive attitudes toward conservation significantly increase the reduction in electricity when using the real-time monitor, seniors, in their employment of the real-time monitor, do not conserve as much. Overall, the aggregate reduction in electricity consumption (kWh) across the study sample was 18.1%. The paper describes the experimental design, the data collection, the evaluation model, the conservation results, and customers' attitudes and perceptions regarding the real-time monitor.

The two-hour test flight over Houston, where the carrier's headquarters is located, involved powering one of the two engines with a mix of 50% kerosene and a blend of fuel derived from algae and jatropha, a weed that bears oil-producing seeds. No passengers were on board.

Medical Student Distress And The Risk Of Doctor SuicideOctober 8, 2010 6:50 am | by Pauline W. Chen, MD | Comments
October 7, 2010 Several years ago, I learned that a physician in a town not too far from where I was practicing had committed suicide. Neither I nor my hospital colleagues knew him, but according to the story we heard, he was the father of young children, was respected by doctors and patients alike and had struggled privately with mental illness since medical school.

Nurses Are The Greatest Ally Of Medical StudentsOctober 4, 2010 7:52 am | by Shawn Vuong | Comments
Besides the fact that I am going to marry one, I want to say that nurses are the greatest ally to the medical student. "Nurses can make or break you." I don't remember where I read this quote, so I do not know who to give the credit to, but the quote is true. Nurses talk about doctors and medical students all of the time.

The Day That Medicine Broke Her And Destroyed Her InnocenceOctober 4, 2010 6:54 am | by Jordan Grumet, MD | Comments
I was a third-year medical student in the first week of my obstetrics rotation. The obstetrics program was known to be high-pressure, its residents among the best. Mostly women, they were a hard-core group–smart, efficient, motivated–and they scared the heck out of us medical students.
Paying Doctors For Patient PerformanceOctober 1, 2010 6:51 am | by Pauline W. Chen, MD | Comments
Not long ago, a fellow doctor told me that his local health care insurers, in an effort to improve care and rein in costs, had been evaluating physicians and paying them according to their "quality ranking." With "pay for performance" reimbursement, doctors who had, for example, managed more timely follow-up and achieved better test results with their diabetic or hypertensive patients would rank more highly and earn more in financial bonuses than physicians whose patients failed to meet the insurers' guidelines.

Our Health Care Happy MealSeptember 28, 2010 8:26 am | by Dr. Wes | Comments
Parents the world over know the magic of McDonald's Happy Meals. There's something about the promise of a Happy Meal -- the way it's packaged, the free toy -- young families and especially kids find them irresistible. But anyone who's purchased one of these knows the reality: that toys within the Happy Meal are typically played with for no more than three minutes and the plastic tchotchkes are discarded faster than the accompanying 2% milk.
LED-ing The WaySeptember 24, 2010 12:41 pm | by Amanda McGowan, editor | Comments
LED usage and advanced technology continues to shine in the OR. September 27, 2010 Since their introduction to the surgical market in 2007, light emitting diode (LED) surgical lighting has seen dramatic growth in the operating room. According to Joey Knight, Vice President of Sales at MAQUET Surgical Workplaces, in the approximately three years since LEDs have been available as lighting options for the surgical suite, the technology has claimed more than 50 percent of the market from the previous halogen technology, and projections for the future say that growth will only continue.
Does A Stereotypical Surgical Personality Exist?September 24, 2010 6:37 am | by Shawn Vuong | Comments
Recently, our class learned and practiced how to correctly 'scrub' for surgery. During this little lab activity, we were all gowned up and washing our hands when a couple of classmates asked if I was going to be a surgeon. I said I didn't really know yet, although I did find surgery pretty fascinating.
Friend RequestSeptember 22, 2010 6:49 am | by Daniela Lamas | Comments
Last winter, in the middle of my intern year, I became Facebook friends with a young man who was dying in the intensive-care unit. An investment banker in his mid-20s, he thought he was healthy until a fluttering in his chest and swollen ankles took him to a doctor. Now he was in the I.C.U. with a rare cardiac condition and the vague possibility of a transplant.
Managing Fluid WasteSeptember 22, 2010 6:49 am | Bemis Health Care | Comments
Managing infectious fluid waste in the OR is a major concern for both patients and healthcare professionals. Fluid must be contained properly and disposed of safely to protect the staff and comply with the facility's infection control policy. A fluid waste management system should be safe and efficient but still provide the user the ability to manage volume loss.

A 22-year-old man who is being charged with conducting three sexual assaults, which occured in September and October around Davis Square and , was arraigned in Somerville District Court Friday morning.
Alfredo Romero Posada is being held in custody pending a "dangerousness hearing," scheduled for Nov. 22, to detemine whether or not he should be placed in pretrial detention, according to Middlesex District Attorney Spokesperson Jessica Pastore.
Posada is charged with three counts of assault with intent to rape and three counts of indecent assault.
Those attacks are part of a series of six sexual assaults that have taken place around Davis Square, Porter Square and Tufts University since Sept. 10. (Somerville Patch recently, and incorrectly, put the number of attacks at five.)
The Sept. 10 assault , the Sept. 24 assault took place on College Avenue near Professors Row, according to a prosecutor speaking in court Friday, and the .
The most recent sexual assault took place . Another took place , and there was also one on , near Davis Square. It is not known if Posada is also a suspect in those attacks.
In proceedings before Judge Neil Walker, Ceara Mahoney, an assistant district attorney in Middlesex County, told the court Friday the three victims in the Sept. 10, Sept. 24 and Oct. 22 sexual assaults identified Posada as their attacker during a Nov. 17 police lineup.
Mahoney described a pattern of harrowing attacks in which Posada allegedly approached women from behind, groping them, grabbing them, putting his hands under their clothing and pushing them to the ground or up against trees.
The assistant district attorney also described a police operation in the Davis Square area in which an undercover female detective posed as a victim. The prosecutor told the court Posada was seen to approach the undercover detective from behind, in a manner similar to those described by other victims. Police also observed Posada approach other women in the Davis Square area, the prosecutor said.
Posada allegedly told his lawyer he suffers from schizophrenia, according to Mahoney. He stood silently during Friday's court appearance and listened to the proceedings through the help of an interpreter.

J Asked:
How do you do it…? From your blog it's clear you know how to party, and you know your drinks – always a sign of good education.
Still, you don't seem to suffer too much of the Dreaded Day After (judging from your immaculate blog pics…)
Is there a secret recipe?
Dear J,
You're so sweet!
I have to be 100% honest with you – I have suffered from many, many, many excruciating hangovers in my lifetime. In fact, just a couple of weekends ago, I literally thought I was going to die on Sunday. Husband and I had spent Saturday drinking with good friends in celebration of our anniversary. The day was so epic that we started drinking at 1pm and was still drinking at 10pm.
Needless to say, when I woke up on Sunday, it wasn't pretty. Epic hangover days like this involve myself laying on my couch in front of the television all day, only getting up to throw up in the bathroom. On that particular Sunday I believe this may have happened all of about 15 times – from the hours of 10am until 4pm. Husband emerged from his study to check on me a couple of times, but really – what can he do? It was around 5pm he came and asked me if I was finally well enough to stomach food and this was when he realized how much a wreck I was:
Husb: Dude – how are you feeling? Oh, look at your face. Did you have a breakout from last night?
Me: Ah, no. These are broken capillaries in my face.
Husb: What? How did you manage to break so many capillaries?
Me: Did you not hear me attempting to empty my entire stomach lining into the toilet all day?
Husb: Dude. That's pretty hardcore. You look like shit.
Me: I know. Don't look at me. It'll be gone by tomorrow.
It wasn't one of my finest hours.
However – having been hungover so many times in my life, I have developed some tricks of the trade to lessen the impact the next day:
You can find out more about Mercy and where to buy it here – http://www.drinkmercy.com/
- Water – If you're like me and rarely follow the 'drink a glass of water after every cocktail' rule, it's generally best if you come home at the end of the night and drink an entire bucket of water. Granted, when you're drunk, drinking a gallon of anything other than vodka seems like a difficult feat – I mean, you might drown. However, in order to make my life easier, I also place a giant bottle of water on my bedside table so Drunk Julie can be alike – oh that's right! I'm supposed to drink water before I pass out in my clothes!
Granted, most of the time I'm so stumbling drunk I generally knock all that shit off my nightstand in one fell swoop before I jump into bed. Hence the epic hangovers.
- Codeine – I swear by codeine. This nifty little painkiller is my go to drug since it significantly dulls the pain of your headache. Back in Australia, we can purchase codeine over the counter so whenever I go back home, I stock up on this. And when I say stock up, I don't mean a couple of packets – I literally will rip out my suitcase lining and sew packets of that shit in there. Please don't arrest me.
Since you can't get codeine over the counter here, whenever my doctor prescribes me painkillers like Oxycodone, I make sure I save a couple of those suckers for the day after drinking.
- Coconut Water – the next morning when you wake up feeling like ass and your mouth tastes like a homeless man, I suggest consuming copious amounts of coconut water. It is full of electrolytes so it's an excellent rehydrater and also contains nearly as much potassium as a banana. It's especially handy for me since I have a banana-phobia. Don't even ask.
- I always crave something seriously carby the morning after. My theory is – and this may be complete bullshit since I came up with it myself – when you ingest carbs, they soak up all the residual alcohol you have left in your system from the previous night. Granted, most of the time after I consumed said carbs it triggers something in my system which leads me to hurl, which again, in my own fucked up mind, is a win-win situation. Why? Well, not only are you expelling the residual alcohol, you're also not really consuming those fatty carbs because, hey – you just threw them up!
SKII Mask – Trust me, after you've spent a day hurling, there are pros and there are cons. Pros: your stomach is seriously flat and toned since throwing up requires you to engage your core. It's a good ab workout! Cons – your face looks like shit. In order to counteract the ugliness, I swear by my SKII treatment masks. I don't know what is in there – something like the essence they get from rice or some other Asian ingredient – but I swear to god, my skin returns to its normal flawless self after I use this mask. It's not cheap – I believe it retails for about $30 per mask, but I purchase it by the boxful when I duty-free shop. It's a fricking god-send not just for Asian complexions like mine – one time I put it on Husband when his face got incredibly sunburnt while we were on vacation, and the next day – boom – perfect non-sunburnt skin. Seriously that shit is like magic.
So – the lovely J – I could be lame and tell you to drink in moderation, but we all know us Trophy Wives like to live in excess. So using my somewhat helpful tips and tricks, go balls to the wall and drink that magnum of Bollinger all by yourself!

"Sweet blueberries and tart lemon pair well in this alternative to oatmeal. High in protein and fiber, quinoa is a great start to your day! I made this up one morning when I had a craving for quinoa and was looking for a change from the usual. Top with extra milk for a thinner consistency. Also good with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg."

- Rinse quinoa in a fine strainer with cold water to remove bitterness until water runs clear and is no longer frothy.
- Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir quinoa and salt into the milk; simmer over medium-low heat until much of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir maple syrup and lemon zest into the quinoa mixture. Gently fold blueberries into the mixture.
- Divide quinoa mixture between 2 bowls; top each with 1 teaspoon flax seed to serve.

I am the recipe submitter and wanted to clarify the directions. Allrecipes omitted a step when they edited my recipe and they suggested I clarify by leaving a comment here. Make sure to COVER the pot when you simmer the quinoa, otherwise the liquid will evaporate too quickly. Keep an eye on the pot because milk does have a tendency to boil over. After 20 minutes, there should still be some liquid left in the pot, so you have an oatmeal consistency. You do not want to cook all the liquid out of the quinoa. Thank you and enjoy! :)
This was really good! It was fresh yet rich- tasting, and the sweetness from the blueberries and syrup was perfect! Topped with toasted, slivered almonds instead of flax seed. A great new way to have quinoa!
Excellent! This was my first time trying quinoa for breakfast. It sounded interesting and I had all the ingredients. What a fabulous meal! I will make this over and over again and try different fruits too. My kids were a little skeptical, but they ended up asking for more.

The Edmond Sun
Steak & Catfish Barn's opening has been moved to Monday, Jan. 13.
A well-known and well-loved restaurant was closed this summer after a 15-year run outside of Edmond. After losing their lease, the owners were ready to retire but wanted someone to buy the restaurant's name, their recipes and their website.
After purchasing the Steak & Catfish Barn, formerly located on Waterloo Road and I-35, the new owner and former customer Bob Warner has moved the restaurant to a new location off Hefner Road and I-35.
But the move is about all that has changed. The decor is the same, the menu is the same and many of the wait people will be the same. Even the preparation of the food will be the same.
Warner has been working with former owners Dino Smalley and his wife, Maria Vitale, as they helped move the restaurant and its furnishings to its new location, decorate it, share their recipes and now they are training the cooks and wait people.
"Bob and I talked about it and even though we thought we could open Thursday and recently announced that we would be open, it is just not going to be possible," Smalley said. "We want to be able to give our former customers the quality they are expecting, and we are just a few days behind where we need to be before opening in this new location."
Warner agreed and said, "Dino and Maria know this business, and I am learning it. I trust their judgment and am following their lead on when they think we can open with the service and menu as good as it was in the other location."
The restaurant's new location is 10603 N. I-35. Take the Hefner exit and it is the second building on the west side of the road.
