The ADC Festival of Art + Craft in Advertising and Design is a three day beachside festival for the creative communications industries.
Created to align with ADC's nearly century long mission to celebrate artistry and craftsmanship in the fields of advertising, design, photography, illustration, interactive and motion graphics, the ADC Festival inspires international creatives to reconnect with their inner artists and recommit to the craft of their profession.
Held annually in beautiful Miami Beach, home of the internationally renowned Art Basel celebration, the ADC Festival hosts an intimate gathering of world-class creative leaders, teams and artists, allowing for authentic, concentrated networking in a relaxed and inspiring environment.
By day, Festival attendees are engaged in hands-on workshops, working together to explore creativity in exciting ways. Paint, clay, wood, computer code, all have been used at the ADC Festival to encourage guests to engage, both with their own innate talents and with other attendees.
By night, the jewels of the Festival spring to life, as we honor the very best of creative craftsmanship at the ADC 94th Annual Awards — the longest running industry award show in the world — and the ADC Tomorrow Awards 2015. Highly coveted ADC Cubes, trophies and other awards are presented, and guests party and socialize into the South Florida evening.
See you in Miami Beach!

It was quite a lovely Valentine's Day for Simon Cowell this year! The X Factor judge became a dad for the very first time when girlfriend Lauren Silverman gave birth to a son, whom they have named Eric. Cowell announced the happy news in a series of Tweets, and shared that baby Eric was named after Cowell's own dad.
Lil' Kim has some decidedly big news! The rapper recently shared the happy news that she's expecting her first baby. According to Us Weekly, Kim is a few months into her pregnancy, but she hasn't shared many details beyond that. Her due date, whether she's expecting a son or a daughter and the identity of her baby's dad are all being kept private at this time.
Hard on the heels of the baby announcement has come the baby name announcement! Soleil Moon Frye and her husband Jason Goldberg welcomed their first son on February 10th, and Frye announced his arrival yesterday. Today, she's sharing baby boy's name: Lyric Sonny Roads. Lyric will fit right in with big sisters Jagger Joseph Blue and Post Sienna Rose!
Motherhood may be familiar ground for Soleil Moon Frye, but she's mixing things up with her third! The actress and author welcomed a son on February 10th — the first boy for Frye and her husband, Jason Goldberg. "Our amazing baby boy was born yesterday," Frye tweeted. "We are so excited gor (sic) the newest addition to our family. Thank you for the love! Xo" Frye's newest arrival (whose name hasn't been shared yet) has two big sisters to look up to: Jagger Joseph Blue (5.5) and Post Sienna Rose (8).
DeAnna Pappas Stagliano is a mom! The former Bachelorette star and her husband Stephen Stagliano (not her Bachelorette pick) have welcomed their first baby, a daughter, on February 6th. Stagliano tweeted the happy news, sharing, "Cant begin 2 explain the joy I have w/ my baby girl. Perfect husband & perfect baby. I'm very lucky. Thank u all 4 the tweets! #fullheart."
Kim Spradlin is on a roll! In 2012, the bridal store owner won Survivor: One World. In 2013, she married Bryan Wolfe (although that event wasn't quite all roses … a case of mistaken identity resulted in her arrest while she trying to change her name at the DMV!). And now, to start 2014 on the right foot, she and Wolfe have welcomed their first baby: son Michael Thomas Wolfe, born February 8th. Spradlin confirmed the happy news to People and shared, "But of course, he's [Michael's] awesome and I love him so much."
It's babies all over again! Doutzen Kroes recently announced that she and husband Sunnery James are expecting their second baby! The model announced the news via Twitter, sharing both a bump pic and this announcement, "This is not a #throwbackthursday this is now! So happy to share with you that we are expecting." A rep for the couple, who are also parents to 3-year-old son Phyllon Joy, confirmed to People that baby #2 is expected to arrive in late July.
From Brothers and Sisters to sons and daughters, Sarah Jane Morris is covering her bases! The actress and her husband, Rooney drummer Ned Brower, welcomed their second baby recently. "Happy to share the good news that I am officially done being pg & am now mother to little GIRL, Beau Katherine who was born on 2/1!" Morris tweeted. "In LOVE!" Beau is the second baby for the couple, who are also parents to 4-year-old son Emmett Andrew.
No delivery room surprise here! Kristin Cavallari and husband, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, know what their second baby is going to be, and they're sharing! "We decided to announce that…. we're having another boy!!" the actress tweeted. "We couldn't be more excited!" The couple are already parents to 17-month-old son Camden Jack.
It was a Super Sunday, indeed, for Kevin Jonas, but the action was all happening off the field! Jonas and his wife Danielle welcomed their first baby. Daughter Alena Rose Jonas arrived today, and Jonas summed up the day's events with this tweet, "I'm so in love with her."

Wow! Great drugstore find! I agree with reviewer below. This completely reminds me of a MAC Cremesheen. Same creamy, full color texture. However, I disagree about it being more peach/beige. I definitely see pink. I am blonde and pinky/peach actually looks better on me, so I added MAC dazzlegass in sublime shine to give it more peach and of course shine! This lipstick + the dazzleglass+ nude lipliner(I used MAC Spice) could very well be my HG nude lip combo. FYI, I got mine two for one at Target today for a little over $8.
This is from Revlon's new Color Burst lipsticks.
The formula is so creamy. The color is uber-pigmented. It is like a MAC Cremesheen lipstick. The color lasts a very decent amount of time on the lips.
The color is a GREAT nude shade. It is slightly more beige/peachy compared MAC's Creme D' Nude--which is still my favorite nude. This is a nice drugstore second. The color is comparable to Revlon's Nude Attitude and Smooth Nude--just in a much nicer, creamier formula.
Revlon upgraded their packaging on this line of lipsticks. The cap and bottom of the lipstick have a quilted pattern that reminds of my Chanel Flap purse.
It is only $6.79 and worth every penny. I've also seen it at $9.99 at some drugstores.
I'm definitely going to buy more colors in this formula.

The graphic video shows the victims struggling to keep the door closed as the gunman fires into the door repeatedly. Bullets zoom through the store as the people inside scramble to keep the shooter out without getting shot.

Immigration Reform:
Status of Implementing Employer Sanctions After One Year
GGD-88-14: Published: Nov 5, 1987. Publicly Released: Nov 5, 1987.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
Pursuant to a legislative mandate, GAO reviewed the first-year implementation and enforcement of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 provisions regarding sanctions against employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers, focusing on: (1) the Immigration and Naturalization Service's (INS) efforts to educate the public about the law; (2) its planned enforcement approach; and (3) whether the provisions have caused a pattern of discrimination against eligible workers or an unnecessary regulatory burden on employers.
GAO found that INS: (1) mailed explanatory handbooks to 7 million employers and began a national media campaign to implement the law and to help ensure voluntary compliance; (2) plans to allocate $60 million during fiscal year (FY) 1988 to implement the employer sanctions provision; and (3) plans to target about 20,000 employers for compliance investigations. GAO also found that the Department of Labor: (1) included investigation of employers' compliance forms in its labor law enforcement efforts; (2) served two employers with notices for knowingly hiring unauthorized aliens; (3) filed 67 alleged violations of the law's anti-discrimination provisions as of September 1987; and (4) filed 52 charges related to employer sanctions with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In addition, GAO found that: (1) the discrimination charges did not constitute a pattern of discrimination or an unreasonable regulatory burden for employers; and (2) data limitations may preclude determination of the existence of a pattern of discrimination or an unnecessary regulatory burden.

Red-Hot Roller Named Eastern League Player of the Week
The Eastern League has named Trenton Thunder first baseman Kyle Roller the Player of the Week for games played from April 21-27. The slugging first baseman continued his torrid start to the season by hitting .526 (10-19) this week with two doubles, four homers and eight runs driven in. Since coming off of the disabled list for Trenton on April 13, Roller has hit .400 and blasted seven home runs which is best in the entire Eastern League.
In five games last week, Roller posted multi-hit games in four of them and reached base safely in all of them. Over that span, the 26-year old lefty led the EL in batting (.526), on-base percentage (.625), slugging percentage (1.263), OPS (1.888) and total bases (24) while also tying for the lead in extra-base hits (6) and home runs (4).
This is the second time that Roller has been named the EL Player of the Week after receiving the award last April. Roller is the second Thunder player to receive a weekly award after starting pitcher Bryan Mitchell was awarded the Pitcher of the Week honors last week.

I have looked at the FAQ but have not been able to find an answer. If the target hunter in a group is defeated, do all hunters in the group go to the Cathedral, or just the one that was bitten/reduced to 0 health? This seems like a straightforward issue, but the rules state that groups follow all the rules for individual hunters so I am not sure. Thanks for the help.

In track and field, a form of racing in which the competitor's advancing foot must touch the ground before the rear foot leaves it. Walking as a sport dates from the later 19th century. Walking races of 10 mi and 3,500 m were added to the men's Olympic program in 1908, but since 1956 the Olympic distances have been 20 km and 50 km. A women's 10-km walk was introduced in 1992.

Forum post of the day: Table plz {WoW}
Jul 9th 2008 9:58AM Funny this should come up, I was just messing around on youtube recently and found this:
Personally, In a raid, yeah, mages having a table is pretty standard. I hear all the complaining about BG, but really, I notice it as general rudeness all around no matter what class the person is. That's why I don't run any BG anymore. I am tired of people that can't work together, but can take time to flame, tell others to leave the area, use language that would make the US Navy stop in its tracks, and all around show absolutely no regard to other players. Bring your own stuff, and if someone conjures up some lock cookies and manna biscuits, enjoy, but just like anything else, walk in prepared to have to support yourself.

Bucks send Gadzuric, Bell to Warriors
MILWAUKEE -- Seeking a scoring threat and willing to take on a significant contract, the Milwaukee Bucks acquired forward Corey Maggette in a trade with the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday.
The Bucks also got a second-round draft pick from the Warriors, giving up guard Charlie Bell and center Dan Gadzuric in return.
Maggette played in 70 games with 49 starts for Golden State last season, averaging 19.8 points per game. He will be expected to provide offense for a team that may lose John Salmons, who can opt out of his contract and become a free agent.
Salmons is going to opt out of his contract with the Bucks, Bucks general manager John Hammond told ESPN.com's Chad Ford.
"Corey has been a consistent scorer throughout his career," Hammond said in a statement. "He shoots a solid percentage from the field and has shown the ability to get to the free throw line. We're looking forward to having him in a Bucks uniform."
Tuesday's deal leaves the Bucks with three selections in the second round of Thursday night's NBA draft.
Maggette, an 11-year veteran, ranked 19th in the league in field goal percentage (.516) last season and had the league's highest scoring average for a player who logged fewer than 30 minutes per game. He has three years and approximately $31 million remaining on his contract.
Bell played in 71 games with 39 starts for Milwaukee last season, averaging 6.5 points, 1.5 assists and 1.9 rebounds per game. Gadzuric appeared in 32 games with six starts, and averaged 2.8 points and 2.9 rebounds in 9.8 minutes per game.
"Charlie and Dan are two high-character veterans who can provide us with some of the intangibles that we need on our squad," Warriors general manager Larry Riley said in a statement. "They are both experienced veterans who will be welcomed additions to our very young team. Additionally, while we certainly wish Corey well and thank him for his outstanding contributions the last two years, this will help alleviate a log-jam that we have at small forward and, more importantly, power forward, where we expect both Brandan Wright and Anthony Randolph to return from injuries and play an increased role on our team next season."
Gadzuric will make $7.2 million in the final year of a massive contract that Hammond inherited from the team's previous front office. Bell will make just under $8 million for the next two seasons.
Bell was generally well-liked by Bucks fans but had a few uncomfortable moments with the team. Earlier this year, he was benched in Game 7 of the Bucks' playoff series against Atlanta for disciplinary reasons. Bell also bristled when the Bucks matched an offer sheet from the Miami Heat in 2007.
Bell thanked Bucks fans in a post to his Twitter account, writing, "Thanks Bucks fans for all your support over the years. We had our good times and bad but I will always love the city of Milwaukee."

It's the most expensive comment thread of the site, when I ask what you're reading, and how you like it, and then I buy about 3/4ths of the things you suggest.
(Please tell me I'm not alone in that problem, please.)
I'm reading a mix of holiday titles, and am trying not to allow myself to read the Tessa Dare historical that isn't out until February, but I have a feeling I'm going to cave and read it early.
What about you? Have you started any holiday themed books? What are you reading this weekend? How do you like it? Anything you recommend?
DonnaMarie suggested in the comments of one of the deals post that I enquire as to what you're cooking, too. YES PLEASE FOOD! I've been posting cookbooks on sale recently because I love digital cookbooks. Have you tried any recipes? What are you cooking right now?
Me, it's my cooking season. I'm making things to freeze, like cassoulet, lentil soup, bolognese sauce, and white bean soup with tomatoes, and I'm baking a lot of bread. (I use our old breadmaker – going on 14 years old – to make the dough, then pat it out, roll it, and bake it in the oven. YUM.)
So, how about you? Reading? Cooking? Both?
(Wait – let me go put my wallet in the freezer beneath something frosty and mysterious.)
OK, go!

"I quadrupled the recipe and it was ok. I used the roasted tomatoes and a 7 oz. can of green chiles. I didn't think the recipe had a lot of flavor, so I added a tablespoon of my taco seasoning (not store bought). Then it was really good! My taco seasoning is: 2T. ground cumin, 1T. cinnamon, 1T. onion powder, 1T. garlic powder, 1T. chili powder ..."
"This soup is very good. I doubled the recipe, used button mushrooms instead of shiitake (what I had on hand) and used half low-sodium vegetable stock. It was wonderful! I brought the rest to work for lunch the next day and it was even better."
"This soup is wonderful for those rainy days. I substituted 2 artificial sweetener packets for the orange juice and cayenne pepper for the red pepper flakes. Also, I used my immersion blender-- much easier than transferring hot soup from one pot to another. The taste was sweet with a kick. I will definitely make this again!"

The Illinois Republican Party is now officially the Party of Jim Oberweis.
Oberweis is the right-wing dairyman who got elected to the state senate last year, after failed runs for governor, senator or Congress. Once he was on the inside, his first act was to attempt to dump Illinois GOP Chairman Pat Brady after Brady spoke out in favor of gay marriage. Brady survived a vote of the state Central Committee, thanks to the intercession of Sen. Mark Kirk. But on Monday, Brady resigned. Now the Republicans can find a chairman who will help them build a bridge to the 1920s.

Lufthansa eyes growth amid challenges
By Martin Roebuck on January 31, 2014
Otto said Lufthansa Cargo was looking to act as a GSSA and sell belly-hold cargo on traffic lanes where the volume would be supplemental to its own business rather than competing with it.
The company has managed the belly-hold capacity for group subsidiary Austrian Airlines but could exploit this capability more widely, as it had done when selling cargo capacity out of Germany on US Airways' passenger airplanes prior to the carrier's merger with American Airlines. Otto claimed Lufthansa could manage "five or six belly networks," not necessarily for Star Alliance members.
He also revealed that the carrier would be re-launching its td.Flash express product later this year after many years when it had not invested in this market segment.

Background: As rates of bilateral prophylactic mastectomy and contralateral prophylactic mastectomy have increased over the past decade, bilateral microvascular breast reconstruction has played an increasing role in breast cancer care. Data on unilateral flap failure in bilateral microvascular breast reconstructions have been lacking, and strategies to address the challenges encountered in this situation are needed.
Methods: A retrospective review of all simultaneous bilateral microvascular breast reconstructions performed by the senior author (M.Y.N.) from July of 1999 to July of 2008 was conducted. Flap failures were identified and reviewed for operative parameters, causes of flap loss, and techniques used for secondary reconstruction.
Results: The authors identified 171 consecutive patients who underwent bilateral microvascular breast reconstruction between July of 1999 and July of 2008. In these patients, 342 flaps were attempted, including 108 free transverse rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flaps, 228 deep inferior epigastric artery perforator flaps, and six superior gluteal artery perforator flaps. Twelve flaps failed or were aborted intraoperatively, yielding an overall failure rate of 3.5 percent. The authors' unilateral microsurgical breast reconstruction failure rate over this period was 2.1 percent (eight of 386). No bilateral failures occurred. Causes of flap failure included venous insufficiency (six of 12), lack of adequate perforator anatomy (three of 12), and perforator injury during dissection (two of 12). Secondary reconstruction with tissue expanders and implants was performed in 11 of 12 patients who underwent an average of 2.25 additional procedures to complete reconstruction.
Conclusions: Flap failure is more common in bilateral reconstructions than in unilateral reconstructions, largely secondary to the obligation to use both sides of the abdominal donor tissue. When flap failure does occur, techniques to optimize prosthetic reconstruction can ultimately result in successful bilateral reconstructions despite free flap failure.

Whether you need to add more columns to a table or a completely new table, depends on what that data is.
You can see the create table statemnents for your existing tables by clicking the 'export' link and in the options section, uncheck 'Data' so that only the structure will be shown when you click 'Go'.

Alright Bazz
Please check out the following image http://www.digitalresellersvault.com...e/database.bmp I have 37 tables that the membership script is using...
I believe I need to add another table for licence terms.. (That is not include yet in the membership script at all)
My next step when I have created the database, is then to create a drop down menu box displaying the following four options:
Then the third step, depending on what option is chosen, displays a certain set of words in a certain place
I don' think any of us can really answer you without having "hands on" the database.
*Probably* you don't need another table. *Probably* you can get away with just another field in an existing table. But WHICH existing table??? Or maybe it is tables??
I'm *guessing* that at a minimum you would need to add a field to the "orders" table (or maybe better the "order_items" table, except I don't see one there). But you don't even show us the *names* of all 37 tables, much less what fields are in each and how the different tables are related to each other.
I'd want to see an E-R (Entity-Relationship) diagram--or at least description--of the tables and fields before making a "this is it" decision.
You say you want a tutorial, but you aren't trying to do something that is at a beginner level. You need to get to step 2 or 3 in the "course", and you aren't quite to the end of step 1, yet.
Have you even added the <select> dropdown (or set of radio buttons or set of checkboxes) to the <form> yet? So that the user can choose one (or more? is that possible?) of these rights when making an order? I would think that is first thing to do. Then you find where the <form> is processed, storing its contents into an order, and pick up the user's selection and store it into...what? Again, *probably* into a field in smp_orders, but that is so so so a far-out guess that I hesitate to do more than say "maybe maybe".
An optimist sees the glass as half full.
A pessimist sees the glass as half empty.
A realist drinks it no matter how much there is.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Text of report by Caribbean Media Corporation news agency website
Washington, CMC: In support of the Energy and Climate Partnership of the
Americas (ECPA), the United States Departments of State and Energy (DOE)
will participate in the Caribbean Renewable Energy Forum (CREF) in
Barbados, which gets underway on Thursday.
The DOE said Ambassador Carlos Pascual, Special Envoy and Coordinator
for International Energy Affairs, will lead the US delegation during the
two-day event.
Policymakers from across the Caribbean, as well as private industry,
international organizations, multilateral development banks, and
non-governmental organizations (NGOs), working to advance renewable
energy and energy efficiency in the region, will gather for the two-day
In support of ECPA's Caribbean Sustainability Initiative, which is
coordinated by the Organization of American States (OAS), the DOE said
US and Caribbean energy ministers and senior officials are holding the
Caribbean Sustainable Energy Dialogue to discuss opportunities for
collaboration on renewable energy and energy efficiency.
At the April 2009 Summit of the Americas, US President Barack Obama
invited all countries of the Western Hemisphere to participate in the
Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas (ECPA), a voluntary and
flexible framework, with a focus on seven pillars: renewable energy,
energy efficiency, energy poverty, cleaner fossil fuels, infrastructure,
adaptation, and sustainable land use and forests. "Leaders of the
Western Hemisphere recognize that clean energy is fundamental to the
Western Hemisphere's sustainable development and the prosperity of our
citizens, and they are committed to expanding cooperation to address the
intertwined challenges of energy security and climate change," said the
DOE here in a statement.
It said its goal is to "foster partnerships across the Americas to
achieve low carbon economic growth and development," adding that it is a
"flexible mechanism through which governments in the Western Hemisphere,
on a voluntary basis, may lead multi-country or bilateral initiatives to
promote clean energy, advance energy security, fight energy poverty, and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
The DOE said many governments have taken a leading role in implementing
ECPA by deepening existing partnerships and creating new initiatives. To
date, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominica,
Mexico, Peru, Trinidad and Tobago, and the United States, as well as the
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and OAS, have announced
initiatives and/or are involved in ECPA-supported projects.
"All governments are encouraged to participate in ECPA by leading or
joining existing or new initiatives focusing on the areas described
above," the statement said.

Encore guitar should i buy or not?
Posted 03 November 2011 - 02:55 PM
I already have a cheap begginer electric guitar that i use to practice with and dont really want to have 2 cheapy electric guitars as well as my accoustic around the house.
This guitar sounds like a bargain though mainly because the effects pedal could be a new thing
for me to try out.
Should i just wait and get a good les paul like an epiphone or something like that when i am a better player?
I cant decide.

The effects pedal and guitar do interest me though.The guitar is completely different than the one i use now.
I do spend a lot of time looking at stuff on ebay and i have had a look to get an idea of the value of what he is selling.
Although he said he is wanting around £60 because i am not desperate to buy i was going to offer £40
Posted 05 November 2011 - 08:35 AM
I don't know much about the Encore guitar, but from what I've read it appears to be an entry level guitar. Unless you just want another guitar, I would pass and start saving for a better guitar in the future.
Posted 06 November 2011 - 05:55 PM
He has had a couple of people interested in buying it from him so hopefuly one of them will offer him what he wants for it.
My aim is to improve my guitar playing over the next 6 months and reward myself with a good quality electric guitar.I would love a gibson les paul but i think they are a bit to expensive for me.Something around £250- £400 would be my sort of budget.

The only problem i have about going in a shop to try out guitars is that im not a very good player(only been playing since march) so i am a bit self concious.
Posted 07 November 2011 - 07:29 PM
We were all beginners at one time. Don't be self conscious about your playing. Good luck with your decision.

Then you can come back to us and tell us what you've discovered.
Keep in touch.
Posted 09 November 2011 - 03:42 PM
That is great advice i never thought of listening to the guy in the shop demonstrating the guitar for me to listen to.I always imagine myself sat fumbling away nervously trying to play something simple and customers laughing at me.
I agree i shouldnt be self conscious just because i am a beginer.My guitar teacher did say the other day that he wants to work on my confidence.I would ask him to have a look at new electric guitars with me but electric guitars
arnt his thing.
Posted 09 November 2011 - 06:11 PM
Posted 10 November 2011 - 03:19 PM
I would be happy for the guy in the shop to demonstrate it for me that would be great to hear the sound it creates.Like you say i need to be comfortable with the feel of it so at some point i am going to have to hold it and have a little play myself.
Posted 10 November 2011 - 03:59 PM
Posted 11 November 2011 - 03:37 PM
Using headphones is another brilliant idea.I use my headphones most of the time for practicing when my wife is watching tv so i dont know why i didnt think of it.
Cheers Micky

The owner and two employees of Ezcor-9000, listed as a medical supply company in Valencia, are among the 90 individuals charged in a recent Medicare Fraud Strike Force crackdown.
The Medicare Fraud Strike Force cracked down on 90 doctors and medical suppliers across the nation in their most recent investigation, Kathleen Sebelius, secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, announced Tuesday.
Don't miss a thing. Get breaking Santa Clarita news alerts delivered right to your inbox.
And this particular strike hits close to home, with a Valencia business among those charged with thousands of dollars in fraud.
Six cities, including Los Angeles, were targeted in the strike.
"Eight defendants were charged in Los Angeles for their roles in schemes to defraud Medicare of approximately $32 million," according to a press release from the United States Department of Justice."
Sylvia Ogbenyeanu Walter-Eze, the owner of Ezcor-9000, and Judith Bangcayo Estrella and Wilmer David Guzman, marketers for the company, are listed among those defendants.
Ezcor-9000, described by court documents as a "durable medical equipment supply company," is located at 25383 Wayne Mills Place in Valencia, according to YellowPages.com.
The charges listed against Walter-Eze, Estrella and Guzman include Conspiracy to Commit Health Care Fraud, Health Care Fraud and Conspiracy to Pay and Receive Health Care Kickbacks.
The fraud took place between 2007 and 2012, according to the findings of U.S. District Court grand jury in January.
The scheme involved multiple bank accounts and false prescriptions for medical supplies, according to court documents.
"At defendant Walter-Eze's instruction, the 'marketers,' including defendants Estrella and Guzman, would take or refer the beneficiaries to medical clinics, doctors' offices, and other locations where fraudulent prescriptions and medical documents were generated using the beneficiaries personal information and HICNs (Health Identification Card Number)," according to court documents. "Defendant Walter-Eze would then acquire these false and fraudulent prescriptions and other documents…for the purpose of using these prescriptions and documents to submit and cause the submission of false and fraudulent claims to Medicare and Medi-Cal on behalf of Ezcor."
The grand jury identified five fraudulent claims submitted by Ezcor-9000, totalling more than $19,700. Of this money, Estrella received $5,600 and Guzman received $3,470.
Ezcor-9000 could not be reached for comment Wednesday, as the company's telephone number, listed as 661-295-0542 on YellowPages.com, is no longer in service.
"We all feel the effects of health care fraud," said FBI Assistant Director Campbell, in the Department of Justice press release. "It leads to higher health care costs and makes it harder for seniors and those who are ill to get the care they need. The FBI and our law enforcement partners are committed to preventing and prosecuting health care fraud at all levels. But we need the public's help. Take the time to be aware of fraud and call law enforcement if you see anything suspicious included in the billings to your insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid or have any unusual encounters with health care providers."
In light of the recent findings by the Medicare Fraud Strike Force, the Department of Justice also cautioned that "a complaint or indictment is merely an accusation, and defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I absolutely love my invitations. The pearl shimmer paper is really worth the extra (minor) cost as it enhances the overall classy look. I changed the color of the flowers on the front and the color on the back to the majestic purple and it looks gorgeous. Also changed the wording on the back to a scripture verse. Also ordered the silver envelopes (a minor increase in cost) and they look amazing with the purple. Customer service was so easy to work with! This is my second order with wedding paper divas (also got my save the date photo cards here) and I would definitely use them again!"
"I Love my wedding invitations. When ordering online you never know what you will get. The invitations are beyond my exceptions. Simply Beautiful!! I can't wait to send them out. FYI i changed the colors. My wedding colors are Navy Blue and Gold. I even left the Silver writing which is the original color. I am so overjoyed with my finish product"
"After searching for a card that was unique and had the colors we wanted it was such a relief to see these cards. We didn't have to change much. The design and quality fit our needs perfectly!"
"I customized this invitation with a yellow to match my wedding colors. I added the pearl shimmer and ordered silver envelopes. They are amazing! For the price you can't beat it. I added a tiny rhinestone to the top and bottom scrolls and they look like something out of a magazine. I also ordered reception cards and will most likely be doing matching save the dates. Highly recommend!"
"I was speechless as I opened the box of invitations!! They are beautiful and perfect! The designer I was placed with did such a wonderful job of listening to me and changing the proofs until they were just right. The invites came packaged very well and I could not ask for more!!"

Sunlit Synergy
This blog is inspired by John
Michael Greer's Jan. 9th, 2013 post on The Archdruid Report,
entitled "A Wish List for Krampus", in which Greer remarked that a "reader …
asked what suggestions I might have if I were addressing an audience of
scientists and engineers—that is, people who might be able to come up with new
technologies to help cushion our species' face-first collision with the brick
wall of planetary limits. What would I want them to explore?"
He adds, "It's a far more complex question
than it might seem at first glance. To
begin with, there are at least two limits that nearly all attempts to imagine
technologies for the future systematically duck. The first of those limits come
out of the laws of thermodynamics, which dictate that the amount of work you
can get out of any energy source is a function of the difference between the
concentration of energy in that energy source and the background concentration
in the environment….
The second limit comes out of
White's Law, which is arguably as important in human ecology as the laws of
thermodynamics are in physics. White's
Law states that the level of economic development possible in any society is
determined by the amount of energy per capita at its disposal."
Later in his post, Greer proposed a
contest for his readers to offer their own suggestions. He said that, "each
paper should either describe a problem that will confront the deindustrializing
world in the course of the Long Descent, or propose a practical solution to
some problem of this kind, or both.
Successful entries will start from the assumption that the unraveling of
industrial society sketched out in this blog and my books The Long Descent
and The Ecotechnic Future is a reality that has to be accepted, and go
from there to deal with specific challenges that will follow from the shape of
that future."
What follows is my own request to
the scientists and engineers of the world. It is both a re-framing of the energy problem and proposed solution that still
needs much research and work. I call the proposed project "Sunlit Synergy".
The first thing to point out is that
we should perhaps re-phrase the original question in a way that doesn't
presuppose that what is required for our survival is a "new" technology. Many
technologies have been littered alongside modern industrial society's path of
progress toward centralization and control, technologies which could be re-evaluated and could prove
indispensable over time as we move away from the fossil fuel energy sources
which facilitated such centralization and control.
The second thing to point out is that
there is no way around the fact that the ultimate energy source is the sun. And
although it falls to the ground in a rather diffuse fashion, there are natural
processes that lead to rather dense concentrations of this solar energy. Wood,
for example, although slightly less than half as energy dense as crude oil, and
nowhere near as convenient to transport, is a form of solid sunlight.
I'll phrase that more positively:
wood is almost half as energy dense as crude oil, and has a host of uses besides
energy production, all of which produce a sizable amount of waste wood. This
"waste wood" could be turned into charcoal, which could then be transformed
into biochar, one of the most effective fertilizers in human history. In making
charcoal, 2/3 of the energy in the wood is released as heat, which could be
used as an energy source in a host of eco-industrial processes. The charcoal,
when buried, is a form of carbon that is highly stable for centuries,
if not millennia. This means that almost 1/3 of the carbon dioxide that would
normally get re-released back to the atmosphere through either combustion or
decomposition of the wood can instead get sequestered in our
farm soils.
Before anyone gets too upset and
wants to scream about the dangers of biomass energy, let me say that this is
one of the main reasons I am pointing out all of this about wood, or solid
sunlight. I claim that there is a race going on, and that many folks haven't
yet realized that it's even happening. Many technologies that were thrown out along
the wayside on the march to a world of cheap energy are about to come back into
play as the reign of cheap energy wanes. The same old questions will still
apply. Exactly which technologies will be used?
On what scale will they be employed? And for whose benefit will they be
But somewhere in our future,
we will certainly see the scales tip back from fossil fuels to wood. The race is on to
see who will be the first to be ready for that incredible sea-change. Will it
be the forces which still cling to cultural modes of centralization and
control and who will want to clear-cut whole forests, or will it be true cultures ready to lead lives of gratitude and who develop small local economies which tap the energy embedded in streams of wastewood? The race
is truly on. And the survival of so much that is beautiful in this world is truly
at stake.
I have a neighbor, Leon Birstein, who once said, "I'm thankful for nuclear power and fossil fuels." I asked why, and he remarked, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have any forests left."
I have a neighbor, Leon Birstein, who once said, "I'm thankful for nuclear power and fossil fuels." I asked why, and he remarked, "Otherwise, we wouldn't have any forests left."
There is, of course, an immense
amount to say about the future of forestry and agriculture in this regard. And
I plan on addressing those crucial pieces in the near future. But for right
now, I want to focus on the technological issues surrounding our future's energy
source. So without further ado:
Because wood is solid sunlight, alcohol is liquid sunlight, biogas is
gaseous sunlight, biochar is sequestered sunlight, and worms enable the
sunlight to be harvested in the first place.
From a few local inputs – non-GMO
corn; and slabs, wood chips, and sawdust from a sawmill – Sunlit Synergy will
produce: a liquid fuel (alcohol), a gaseous fuel (biogas), livestock feed (wet
distiller's grain), and fertilizers (biochar and worm compost) in an overall
process that is not only carbon neutral, but because of charcoal's stability
within soils, is actually carbon negative.
Sunlit Synergy explores the
possible beneficial synergistic interactions between five technologies that
have been around for quite some time - wood gasification, wood distillation
(pyrolysis), alcohol fuel production, biogas digestion, and vermicomposting -
and investigates how arranging these five technologies in a cascading fashion,
where one utilizes the available waste heat and/or waste materials from the preceding
technology, can allow them to be economically deployed on a smaller, more human
and community-oriented scale than ever previously thought imaginable.
(Definitions, summaries, and links
for further information for these five technologies can be found below the
following project description.)
The Plan: to build
a small-scale pilot plant to serve as a "proof-of-concept", educational and R&D platform that incorporates the
1) A Wood Gasifier
is fed wood chips from a local wood-waste stream, transforming the wood chips
into wood gas which can: A) fuel an internal combustion engine
driven generator to produce the electricity necessary for the rest of the
ecological industrial park described below, and/or B) be burned to heat a charcoal
2) A Charcoal Retort
is filled with slab waste from a small local sawmill, and uses the heat from
burning wood gas to drive Wood Distillation (Pyrolysis)
within the retort, transforming the slabs into charcoal, a process that itself
releases even more combustible gas, which is directed to a separate burner
placed under a super-insulated tank of oil. This tank of oil is, in effect,
utilized as a "heat storage battery" to provide heat energy to the
following process:
3) An Fuel Alcohol Still
is filled with "beer" made from fermented local, non-GMO corn. This beer is
distilled to 190 proof fuel alcohol with the heat from the oil tank. Remaining
heat in the oil tank is used to prepare the next batch of beer for
fermentation. Wet distiller's grain left over from distillation is fed to dairy
cows as a high-protein, high-fat, and high-fiber feed supplement for their
mostly pasture-based diet.
4) A Biogas Digester
is filled with any extra wet distiller's grain from the still, and any other
farm wastes such as cow manure or spoiled hay, and is kept warm in the 90's
(Fahrenheit) from the waste heat from the alcohol still's condenser coils.
5) A Vermicompost (worm compost)
operation mixes the liquid effluent waste from the biogas digester with sawdust
from the local sawmill to feed microbial populations that in turn feed worms.
Extra biogas digester effluent is
used to soak the charcoal in so as to nutrient-load it.
Some of the worm compost is used to
make compost tea to also soak the charcoal in, thereby inoculating the charcoal
with beneficial microbes, thus transforming the charcoal into biochar.
Background Information:
This is probably the best website to explain wood gasification, although
they unfortunately place the following words at the very beginning of the page
and then never really define them: wood
gas, syngas, biogas, and producer gas.
So let's quickly differentiate these terms.
It will help.
gas is the gas produced by gasification, a process that transforms any
solid organic matter (wood, charcoal, coal, coke, peat) into a combustible gas
- primarily carbon monoxide and hydrogen - which produces an exhaust of primarily carbon dioxide and water vapor. (Once again, the above website is great for a
better description of and history of the gasification process).
gas is simply a type of producer gas
made with wood as the feedstock.
can be made from a gasifier (from any feedstock), and is similar to producer gas, except that it isn't
contaminated, or weakened, by nitrogen and other atmospheric gases, since
straight oxygen is fed into the gasifier instead of air, mostly to eliminate
the 70% nitrogen in air. FYI: 99% of the time in the modern world, syngas is not made from wood.
IMHO, biogas doesn't belong in the same category as the above gases, but
is made from an entirely different process – the anaerobic biological
decomposition of organic matter. This produces mostly methane and ethane, which
is incredibly similar to "natural gas"- a fossil fuel.
Wood Distillation (Pyrolysis) in Retorts for charcoal production for biochar:
A retort is simply a fancy word for a mostly sealed metal or masonry
container – filled with wood, and heated from an exterior source to transform
the wood, through pyrolysis, into charcoal and a combustible gas. Pyrolysis literally means "breaking
apart with heat".
The combustible gas coming out of a
retort is also called syngas. Whereas a gasifier needs to pull in enough oxygen to fuel
enough combustion to create enough heat to drive the pyrolysis that leads to either producer
gas or syngas, a retort has heat
added from an exterior source to drive the pyrolysis
that leads to syngas. Pyrolysis can refer to one part of the process that occurs within a
gasifier, or it can refer to the entire process that occurs within a retort.
So, in summary, wood gasification provides its own heat by combusting a small percentage of its fuel, and transforms its fuel into heat, combustible gases and ash. Whereas wood distillation (pyrolysis) does not provide its own heat, and transforms its fuel into combustible gases and charcoal.
distillation was the term used in the old industry and literature, while pyrolysis is the term used in the modern
industry and literature.
FYI: For gasifier geeks: wood
gasifiers can be designed and operated in ways that turn their fuel into
charcoal as well, and not just ash. But for the purposes of this project, we'll
be assuming the gasifier is not producing any charcoal, but only ash. In this
project, it will be the retort that produces the charcoal. This design allows
the use of less-processed wood wastes (slabs vs. wood chips), and also allows
the concentrated capture and combustion of the gas created by the charcoal
production in order to facilitate the alcohol production.
As can be evidenced by even a quick
scan of Max Klar's 1920 book The Technology of Wood Distillation, with
Special Reference to the Methods of Obtaining the Intermediate and Finished
Products from the Primary Distillate, one can gain quite an insight into
how sophisticated and evolved the technology was of making charcoal in retorts before the petrochemical age squashed this industry like a bug.
This book is available digitally
at: http://archive.org/details/technologyofwood00klaruoft
And is available, amazingly enough,
in physical form at: http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&tn=The+Technology+of+Wood+Distillation
Unknown in 1920 was the incredible
potential for another use of the charcoal produced by wood distillation -
biochar. Yet the early 20th century wood distillation technology
could easily have been used to make biochar just as well as it made charcoal
for burning and smelting purposes. One simply has to heat the charcoal retort
to a slightly higher temperature (~450 deg C or above) to get rid of most of
the volatiles. The volatiles are actually desired for charcoal that is produced
for burning and/or smelting - since the volatiles help in lighting the charcoal, and
are a potent fuel themselves - but are better removed for making higher quality
If one still hasn't heard of how
the indigenous Amazonians transformed large tracts of some of the world's worst
soil into some its most fertile, by incorporating biochar into their soils,
then I highly recommend checking it out. Those "Terra Preta" (literally, "dark
earth") soils, now many hundreds of years later, are often literally mined for
their fertility, and continue to hold on to the great majority of that carbon
originally sequestered so many centuries ago. The indigenous Amazonians were
apparently making charcoal and then burying it in their midden piles to load it
with nutrients and beneficial microorganisms, and then burying it into their
farm fields.
A quick overview of biochar can be
had by watching the roughly hour-long free BBC documentary, "The Secrets of El
Dorado", available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Os-ujelkgw
What's incredibly important to note
is that charcoal production produces dramatically more heat than it requires.
Now, this isn't some violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. It's just
that, in a sense, wood is solid sunlight, and pyrolysis releases much of that
stored sunlight, in the form of combustible volatile compounds. A 55 gallon barrel
full of wood chips transformed into charcoal releases a net 250,000 BTUs of
heat. Wood, although not nearly as convenient and transportable as petroleum or
natural gas, is a very concentrated form of energy.
My recommendation would be to
utilize an "Adam's Retort" type design, to be able to utilize less-processed
wood wastes, such as slab and edger waste from small, local sawmill operations
– as opposed to many biochar retort designs that require more processed wood
waste such as wood chips. Bob Wells and Peter Hirst of New England Biochar seem
to presently be on the cutting edge of evolving these types of designs here in
North America.
I recommend utilizing the waste
heat from the retort to heat a large super-insulated tank of waste fryer oil,
essentially using the oil as a "heat battery" to store the immense heat that
comes off of the retort in a short amount of time. Although it has ½ the
specific heat of water, oil avoids the dangers of having a vessel of
pressurized steam, and can be taken to twice the temperature of water. (This
would only work on a very small scale as proposed in the pilot project.
Otherwise, pressurized steam would need to be used to transfer the heat.)
To then utilize the heat in the
oil, one can install a coil of copper pipe that is mostly inside the tank of
oil, but that has an open end that leaves the tank and terminates in the body
of the alcohol still, and then open a valve to run small amounts of water
through the coil to transform the water into steam - immediately dumping the steam's
heat into the still without any build-up of pressure.
The above
oil-tank-to-steam-injection system allows the harnessing of a very crude and
basically uncontrollable form of energy – the intense heat that comes from
burning the gases blasting out of the retort – into a form that allows the fine
temperature control necessary to run an alcohol still. (Once again, the oil tank would be replaced with a steam boiler in anything but a small pilot plant.)
Small Scale Alcohol Fuel
Alcohol fuel production often gets
such a bad rap in our culture that I want to take a moment to address its two
biggest criticisms. It is often noted how much energy it takes to make. There's
more to say about all of this than I have room for here, so I highly recommend
checking out David Blume's book, Alcohol Can be a Gas, and particularly
its "Appendix A, Ethanol and EROEI: how the debate has been dominated by one
view". ("EROEI" stands for Energy Returned on Energy Invested)
Suffice it for now to say that I am
proposing to utilize only the waste energy created by transforming waste wood
into biochar as the energy input for the alcohol production. On top of that
fact, this system would require dramatically less energy than is conventionally
required to produce alcohol fuel since 1) we would only make 190
proof alcohol, instead of attempting to make 200 proof alcohol (see David Blume's book
again for more information on this), and 2) more importantly, we would not be
drying down the waste products from alcohol production (the distiller's grain),
but would be utilizing it wet by feeding it straight to livestock, or by
feeding it into a methane digester. Both of these design features allow the use
of significantly less energy inputs.
The second big criticism of alcohol
production is that it somehow competes with food production. But in the U.S.,
the biggest alcohol crop is corn. Only a scant percentage of corn gets used
directly for human food, but is mostly fed to animals, and of that, mostly to
cows. But cows would produce more human food if fed the waste products of corn
alcohol production, than if fed straight corn. This is because the sugar and
starch in corn interferes with cow's natural digestive processes. Alcohol
production removes the harmful sugar and starch from the corn, but leaves and
actually improves the remaining proteins, vitamin complexes, and fats.
Any extra wet distiller's grain not
eaten by the cows will be sent to a methane digester, along with any other farm
wastes such as cow manure and spoiled hay. At this point, the energy in the
starches and sugars in the crop have been removed by the yeast and have been
transformed into alcohol - liquid sunlight. Now it's time to remove the energy
left in the proteins, fats, and fibers that remain in the crop and transform
them into gaseous sunlight.
Methane Digestion:
In temperate climates, methane
digesters need to have their temperature maintained in the 90s (F), but this
could easily be done with the waste heat from the alcohol still's condenser
coils. The methane digester produces biogas - gaseous sunlight - and gets all
of the remaining carbon energy out of the crop (except that which remains in
the lignin), so what mostly remains now is liquid nutrient. We take this
effluent and use some of it to soak the charcoal in. Charcoal has an incredible
amount of tiny pores throughout its structure. The walls of these pores are all
chemically adsorptive, and soak up much of the liquid nutrient.
The rest of the effluent is added
to the sawdust from the same local sawmill that we got the waste wood from in
order to make the charcoal. The effluent is, once again, liquid nutrient. The
sawdust is almost straight carbon. Together they are the perfect workable substrate
for feeding microbial populations that will feed worms for making worm compost.
With some of the worm compost, we
make compost tea, and also soak the charcoal in that. Charcoal is like a deluxe
motel for beneficial microorganisms, and if you haven't heard of the soil food
web, and how critical beneficial soil microbes are for soil fertility, then I
recommend checking that out too. It is unbelievably important. Really.
So once again, from a few local inputs – non-GMO corn; and slabs, wood chips, and sawdust from a sawmill – Sunlit Synergy will produce: a liquid fuel (alcohol), a gaseous fuel (biogas), livestock feed (wet distiller's grain), and fertilizers (biochar and worm compost) in an overall process that is not only carbon neutral, but because of charcoal's stability within soils, is actually carbon negative.

Sunlit Synergy will provide
concentrated energy and fertility for our future – not to replace the immense
quantities of fossil fuels that now support our extravagant lifestyles, but
that can support a complex, yet sane society connected to the source of its
life in gratitude.
Yes yes.
Thanks for your time and attention.
