Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer, Mount Sinai Health System, is widely recognized as a visionary leader who has placed The Mount Sinai Medical Center on a strong and dramatic growth trajectory.
Dr. Davis's affiliation with Mount Sinai dates back to early childhood. At age 7, he received emergency surgery at Mount Sinai. As a young adult, he attended Mount Sinai School of Medicine and received the Harold Elster Memorial Award for highest academic achievement in the School's second graduating class.
After completing a residency and fellowship in psychiatry and pharmacology, respectively, at Stanford University Medical Center, Dr. Davis won a career development award from the Veterans Administration to pursue research in cholinergic mechanisms and neuropsychiatric diseases. Upon joining Mount Sinai, he became Chief of Psychiatry at the Bronx Veterans Administration (VA) Medical Center. He launched Mount Sinai's research program in the biology of schizophrenia and Alzheimer's disease therapeutics.
CEO role leads to Hospital's turnaround
Dr. Davis was appointed CEO of The Mount Sinai Medical Center in 2003. Prior to his appointment, Mount Sinai was losing millions of dollars per year. Noting five years of improved financial performance and a "culture of accountability," Moody's Investor Service upgraded the Hospital's rating to A2 in July 2009. That year, the Medical Center was also named among the nation's top 20 hospitals by U.S. News & World Report, earning Honor Roll status for the first time.
Tremendous growth is also evident at the School of Medicine. Mount Sinai now ranks 18th among medical schools in terms of NIH funding — up from 25th in 2004. And the recruitment of renowned researchers and scientists has seen impressive growth. On an individual basis, Mount Sinai scientists rank among the top five in the nation in their ability to compete for NIH funding.
Research accomplishments
Prior to becoming CEO, Dr. Davis spent 15 years as Chair of Mount Sinai's Department of Psychiatry. He was the first director for many of the institution's research entities, including Mount Sinai's NIH-funded Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, the Schizophrenia Biological Research Center at the Bronx Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center, the Silvio Conte Neuroscience Center to study schizophrenia, and the Seaver Autism Center. Additionally, he received one of the first and largest program project grants for Alzheimer's disease research from the NIH.
Dr. Davis's groundbreaking work in Alzheimer's research opened new avenues in the relief of symptoms from this devastating disease. Dr. Davis revolutionized Alzheimer's clinical trial design by developing the Alzheimer's Disease Assessment Scale, the most popular measure used to characterize the noncognitive and cognitive behavioral dysfunctions manifested by Alzheimer'spatients.
Dr. Davis's research led to the FDA's approval of three of the first four drugs approved for Alzheimer's Disease. His work in schizophrenia has led to a new understanding of the role of myelination, white matter, and oligodendrocytes in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, opening up an entirely new way of viewing and studying this disease. That work, seen as revolutionary just a few years ago, has since been widely replicated.
Positions and awards
In addition to his role as CEO, Dr. Davis served as Dean of Mount Sinai School of Medicine from 2003 to 2007. He served as President of the American College of Neuropsychopharmacology in 2006 and has received its Joel Elkes Research Award, Daniel H. Efron Research Award, and Paul Hoch Distinguished Service Award. The American Psychiatric Association has honored Dr. Davis's work, and in 2002 he was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Science.
In 2009, Yale University presented Dr. Davis with the George H. W. Bush '48 Lifetime of Leadership Award, an honor given to Yale alumni athletes who make significant breakthroughs in their professions. The award is but one of many honors Dr. Davis has received. Honors also include the VA's career development award and the A. E. Bennett Award of the Society of Biological Psychiatry.

father's day fun: shirt & tie cake
I've always wanted to make a shirt & tie cake and present it in a shirt box as a Father's day or birthday gift. Alas, my dad is not a corporate guy. So with Father's day coming up on Sunday, I thought maybe some of your dads and husbands could benefit from the idea. I've seen lots of great design examples, and though I can't find any specific recipes, if you know how to work with fondant I think it's fairly self explanatory. Keep in mind I'm guessing a little, but here's what I would do...
2. Cut a sheet of foam board to fit inside base of the box and cover with parchment paper or foil.
3. Prepare a standard sheet cake as directed for a 9x13" baking pan. Allow the cake to cool and invert onto the foam board.
4. Cover cake in a layer of buttercream frosting.
5. Roll out sheets of fondant in desired colors and trim to size before gently laying over cake and smoothing.
6. Dip a thin brush in food coloring to create a tie pattern and use real buttons & cufflinks to trim shirt collar and cuff. Poke small holes with a toothpick to emulate stitching on pocket and cuff.
7. Carefully lift the foamboard with the cake and place inside the lined shirt box.

The hips are somewhat of a problem area for some women. The following workout will target and tone this region.
Although genetics plays the biggest role in the shape and structure of the body; dedication and hard work will always pay off. The hip region, also known as the coxa, is a synovial joint (ball and socket joint) and basically consists of the hip bone (innominate bone) and femur (thigh bone).

Spicy Mexican-Asian tapas (tempura calamari, tuna tostadas) fire up the taste buds while DJs spin an increasingly intense hip-hop beat beneath this peaked palapa bar. Locals casually dressed in camis and shorts sink into wicker chairs to chat and dine or congregate around the bar sipping cool mojitos. Serious dancers move on to La Santanera after midnight.

Urgent! Save Canadian Democracy Now!
Seven weeks after Canadians awarded the Conservatives a minority government (with an increased number of seats), the Liberals and the NDP supported by the Bloq Quebecois signed an agreement to defeat the Conservative government and ask the Govenor General to take power without holding an election. This may be legal, but it is wrong! We, as Canadians, cannot preach democracy to the world and then allow a coup d'etat to happen in our own country. If the government is defeated in the house, the people must be given the right to decide who shall form the next government. Some may say that another election is costly. Would you rather have an election, or would you rather that any gang can twist the rules of parliament to deny the result of any election, now or in the future The second option will be far more costly to our democracy. The Governor General was appointed by a former Liberal government. Therefore, the optics of her anointing the party that appointed here are not good. Justice has to be seen to be done. Our plea is simple. Should the government fall, the Governor General should call another election and let Canadians speak.

Very friendly staff, delicious coffee.
Our hallway smelled of cigarette smoke, even permeated the room we were in a bit. Breakfast eggs were cold.
It was clean and staff was friendly. Breakfast was fine.
Had a room on the first floor. Could hear every conversation in the lobby all night through my walls which were apparently paper thin. Then the heater would have fits every 5 minutes or so where it would kick into high gear for about 30 seconds and then shut off. Wouldn't hurt to update some of the facilities on site.
the staff is soooo friendly, the beds great, breakfast's are very good, the room was very accessible, and the doors close quiet.
Beautiful decor, very clean, excellent breakfast and SUPER friendly, helpful staff! Highly recommend!
outstanding Breakfast
I didn't like the fact that the coffee service was in the bathroom. I'm surprised that public health allows this. I figure this is a franchise decision not the hotels decision.
The breakfeast and staff
The 31 miles away from the College.
Everything. I have no complaints at all.
we enjoyed the location, breakfast, room location, fan in bathroom, Wi-Fi. The front desk clerk was great, very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Overall, an excellent experience.
Wish we had time to enjoy the pool. The chlorine smell was a little overwhelming, but bearable.
Very friendly and helpful staff
Rooms were too small. Bathroom fan very noisy and on same switch as light.
i liked the friendly staff at check in. i liked the cleanliness.
The morning staff were very unfriendly. The room was a little small. It would have been great if there had been kleenex and coffee in the room. The funace was really loud.
clean and quiet, very nice!
Room was large.
I wish there had been a continental breakfast and pool. Also, the complimentary fruit was always out.
I loved it my girlfriend as well its clean and nice I would stay again!
It was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
My kids got bit by something and I hope it wasn't bed bugs.
The breakfast was enjoyable, including sausage, eggs and potatoes. The staff was also reasonably helpful.
The hot tub did not have jets, nor was it particularly hot. Staff was not able to do anything about this. It was disappointing, particularly since that was one of our reasons for choosing this specific hotel.
Good average hotel staff was pleasant and rooms were clean and comfortable it was kind of confusing on how to operate the TV but overall a good hotel
Hotel was hidden in a strip mall hard to find
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

tyler, tx — I got a voicemail from a viewer from this past weekend.
He was on me about being negative. As always, I look for constructive criticism.
And I started thinking what's positive. What's positive is we have an election and can perhaps change the way the direction the country is moving.
Our ambassador and three consulate guards have been killed. We don't know the whole story yet. There is still conflicting stories from the administration.
Gasoline prices are still unmercifully high. We had people in the newsroom giddy about gas perhaps going down 50 cents a gallon this winter-- perhaps.
They say that is good. But that means gas will still be $2.90 a gallon. Is that positive?
The price of everything is up because the price is fuel is so high. Is that good?
The unemployment numbers are just were the were when the president took office. This, after all the shovel ready stimulus. Is that good?
The biggest, in my opinion, strong dictators in the world are endorsing president Obama for re-ection.
We're talking Chavez, Castro and Putin. Is that good?
We have 16 trillion dollars in debt. I know that's not good.
The country is suffering from a similar malaise it was in the late 70s when Jimmy Carter was president. We've lost our role as leader in the world. That's not positive.
We're the best nation in the world. Now, that's good.
Leading from behind doesn't work. That's not good.
So, sir, .thank you for helping write this commentary. You're right. We need some good news. But you want to keep things on the same road.
I think we need change in the other direction. I think that would be good.
That's my point of view, what's yours?
You can email me at email@example.com [2] or Facebook me at KETK Neal Barton [3].

A US proposal to invest in a Colombian air base sparks debate.
BOGOTA — The United States is looking to increase its military presence in Colombia, with a potential $46 million investment in an air base about 120 miles north of Bogota. The request is in the Pentagon's 2010 budget, which went to Congress last month.
Citing ongoing negotiations, Colombian and American officials won't elaborate on what heightened U.S. military support for the Palanquero air base would actually mean for both countries. All an official at Colombia's Defense Ministry would say is that, "what will happen is a strengthening of cooperation between the United States with Colombia."
The request comes as the contract that allowed the United States to house American personnel and carry out anti-narcotics missions from a base in Manta, Ecuador, is set to expire in November. Ecuador will not renew the 10-year contract.
American and Colombian officials insist that Palanquero is not intended to replace Manta. The Manta base is one of four military facilities the United States has consistent access to in Latin America (the others are in El Salvador, Aruba and Curacao) and is limited to anti-narcotics missions. But the Palanquero proposal is for a "cooperative security location," which could also include counterterrorism activities.
There are other signs of broadening U.S. military objectives in the region. In an e-mail statement, a state department official at the U.S. Embassy in Bogota said the budget request was made "in anticipation of increased cooperation with Colombia on our shared goals of combating narcotics traffickers and terrorist organizations."
The $46 million was requested "in the event that infrastructure improvements are required to bring Palanquero up to U.S. standards for aircraft operations," the state department official wrote.
In addition, according to the 2010 budget, the Defense Department seeks "access agreements for contingency operations, logistics and training in Central and South America." And according to an Airlift Military Command planning document, the U.S. Southern Command is seeking access to a base until 2025 with "air mobility reach on the South American continent." The same document pointed to the ability of C-17 planes leaving Palanquero as capable of covering half the continent without refueling.
Colombia — which is at the heart of the U.S. "war on drugs" and is one of America's strongest allies in the region — appears a natural choice from which to stage American military operations.

I am currently researching the surnames Pedersen/Skavlem/Martin/Larson/Johnson and related names of my family. They mostly live/lived in Minnesota, Veggli parish, Numedal, Norway, Sweden, and Canada. As I collect more information on my family's history (maybe with your help)I will expand this information. I have found through my research, that my family(Peder Pederson Skavlem) originated in Norway. From what I have found, there is also another Skavlem Family based out of WI and have no relation to each other as of yet. My paternal ancestors came from Norway near Veggli, Numedal. two brothers, Peder and Ole, emmigrated to the USA by ship, migrated to Northern Minnesota where they lived and died. Peder married a girl named Maria from Wisconsin in 1880. They had a set of twins named Andrew and Annie. Andrew married Annie Hansen in November of 1907, toghether they had nine children, one of them my grandfather Arthur Albin Skavlem was b. November 1, 1912; d. April 25, 2001. The other eight are Marie Agnes(Skavlem)Bratvald, Ruth Evelyn (Skavlem)Lindquist, Edward Palmer Skavlem, William Leonard Skavlem, Helmer Theodore Skavlem, Mabel Esther(Skavlem)Gunderson, Gladys Irene(Skavlem)Filipi, and Andrew Arnold Skavlem. My grandfather Arthur married Sylvia Evelyn Johnson on September 16, 1936, they had four children Marvin Ardell Skavlem, Lois Marie(Skavlem)Bubb, Janice Sylvia(Skavlem)Kleven, and my father Gary Arthur Skavlem. The Johnson Family is having a reunion in July 2004 in East Grand Forks, Minnesota. My mother's Martin and Larson side of the family has been much easier. Someone has documented very well the happenings on that side. I am gathering more names as the years pass and have lots of new information since starting this page in 1999. It is a great pleasure to me to be able to share this information. I can only hope that in the future the family interest increases and I can expand the tree to include the current families. If there is any current information that you would like to share do not hesitate to contact me either by phone or email. What I need is full birth names, birth and death places and dates; maiden names of the married females, dates and places of the wedding. The more detailed the better. Nicole Marie Skavlem-Lang. |

@dautsun - Manual communication is definitely pretty important in our society, and in other societies as well. A friend of mine went to Japan for a study abroad, and they have different gestures over there than we have that mean a bunch of different things. Not only did my friend have to worry about knowing the language, she had to learn Japanese manual communication also!
I imagine this would be true of any country you visit, because manual communication isn't completely universal.

Charles Aaron "Bubba" Smith (February 28, 1945 – August 3, 2011) was an American professional football player who became an actor after his retirement from the sport. He first came into prominence at Michigan State University, where he twice earned All-American honors as a defensive end on the Spartans football team. He had a major role in a 10–10 tie with Notre Dame in 1966 that was billed as a "The Game of the Century." He was one of only three players to have his jersey number retired by the program. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1988.[1]
He played nine years in the National Football League (NFL) with the Baltimore Colts (1967–1971), Oakland Raiders (1973–1974) and Houston Oilers (1975–1976). The first selection of the 1967 NFL Draft, he was the Colts' starting left defensive end for five seasons who played in Super Bowls III and V, the latter with the winning side. He was named to two Pro Bowls and was a First-Team All-Pro in 1971.[2] Despite being 6 feet 7 inches (2.01 meters) tall and weighing 265 pounds (120.20 kilograms),[3] his tremendous speed and quickness usually caused him to draw two blockers.[2]
During his acting career, he mainly specialized in comedic roles in films, television advertisements and programs. For about a decade following his retirement from football, he appeared in various commercials for Miller Lite. His best-known role was as Moses Hightower in the first six Police Academy movies.[4]
Smith was born on February 28, 1945 in Orange, Texas to Willie Ray Smith Sr and Georgia Oreatha Curl Smith, and was raised in nearby Beaumont. His father Willie Ray Smith Sr., was a football coach who accumulated 235 victories in a career spent at three high schools in the Beaumont area. It was at Charlton-Pollard High School in Beaumont where the son got to play for the father.[2] The younger Smith developed into one of the state's best-ever high school football players.[5]
Smith originally had hopes of playing college football at the University of Texas. Even though Longhorns head coach Darrell Royal was willing to offer him an athletic scholarship, he was prohibited from doing so because of the prevalent racial segregation throughout the Southern United States. At the time, Texas was a member of the Southwest Conference (SWC), which finally integrated in 1967. The university's football program did not do likewise until three years later in 1970. The situation motivated Smith to become a much better player.[5]
Smith played college football at Michigan State University. He was awarded with All-America honors in 1965 and 1966. Smith was a popular athlete at Michigan State, with the popular fan chant of "Kill, Bubba, Kill."
His final game at Michigan State was a 10–10 tie with Notre Dame at Spartan Stadium on November 19, 1966.[6] It was hyped as "The Game of the Century" because both teams were undefeated, untied and ranked atop the national polls entering the contest (Notre Dame was #1 at 8–0–0, Michigan State #2 at 9–0–0).[7] Early in the first quarter, Smith tackled Fighting Irish starting quarterback Terry Hanratty, who suffered a separated left shoulder on the play. Hanratty was replaced for the remainder of the match by Coley O'Brien. Smith, who admitted that Hanratty's injury actually backfired on the Spartans, stated, "That didn't help us any. It just let them put in that O'Brien who's slippery and faster and gave us more trouble. The other guy just sits there and waits, and that's what we wanted."[8] Michigan State finished second behind Notre Dame in the voting for the National Championship.[7]
In 1988, Smith was enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame. Michigan State retired his number 95 jersey on September 23, 2006, prior to the Spartans' home game against Notre Dame, amid repeated cheers of his old slogan from the student section. This game also celebrated the 40th anniversary of the "Game of the Century."

Smith spent nine seasons in the NFL as a defensive end. He was the first overall selection in the 1967 NFL draft, chosen by the Baltimore Colts. The Colts won Super Bowl V at the end of the 1970 season, earning Smith his only Super Bowl ring. However, in interviews, Smith stated that he would never wear the ring, out of a sense of disappointment that he and his teammates were unable to win Super Bowl III.[9] He was injured in the 1972 preseason when he ran into a solid steel pole the NFL was using at the time to mark yardage and missed the season. He was traded to the Oakland Raiders after the 1972 season, and finished his career with the Houston Oilers. He was selected All-Pro one year, All-Conference two years, and went to two Pro Bowls.
After leaving professional football, Smith began his acting career in small movie and television roles in the late 1970s and early 1980s. He is perhaps best known for his role as Moses Hightower in the Police Academy movie series, a role he reprised in all but one of the Police Academy sequels. Bubba appeared in the 1982 TV film Fighting Back: The Rocky Bleier Story. He was Arnold the driver in the 1983 movie Stroker Ace that cast stars such as Burt Reynolds, Ned Beatty, Jim Nabors, and Loni Anderson. He was a supporting character in the 1981–82 flop Open All Night. He appeared in the episode "All Night Security Dude" of the hit television series Married... with Children as the character "Spare Tire" Dixon. He was the longtime spokesman of Baltimore-area law firm Cohen, Snyder, Eisenberg & Katzenberg. Smith starred in the short-lived television series Blue Thunder, partnering with Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive star Dick Butkus, with whom he frequently costarred in advertisements for Miller Lite beer, as well as their joint cameo in Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990). Smith also appeared in Tales of the Gold Monkey, in the episode called "God Save the Queen", along with fellow actor James Avery. He appeared on Good Times as Claude, a bodyguard/thug working for Marion "Sweet Daddy" Williams. He also appeared on an episode of The Odd Couple;when asked by Oscar Madison what his most embarrassing moment was, he replied, "When my mother named me 'Bubba'". Smith appeared in a 1982 Episode of Taxi (Season 4 Episode 19) where Smith's character played a football player trying to get back into the NFL after being cut. He inspired Tony, played by Tony Danza to train hard enough to earn his license back as a boxer. He also appeared on Macgyver (Season 7, Episode 10). Bubba also played a character named "Bones" in the October 22, 1993 episode of "Family Matters" where he played an enforcer to get his boss's money from Eddie Winslow. At the end he teams up with Steve Urkel to play the accordion.

UPDATED: Monday, March 19, 2012 - 9:20am
The last few years billionaire Warren Buffett, the man called the oracle of Omaha because he was so good with money, has looked into something he really likes.
A TV camera.
Buffett, once a man we didn't know that much about, has enjoyed his newly-found fame of being a celebrity.
Just a month ago he was seen on all the business channels wearing a Hawaiian shirt and playing the ukelale.
This is a long way from the stern, cheap suit-wearing investor celebrated in financial circles.
Buffett's newest trist with celebrity is asking the president raise his taxes.
Making a big deal that his administrative assistant was in a higher tax bracket that he was never explaining the reason why that is.
But, he fell right in with the main stream media who made a big deal out of he was not taxed enough.
Well, it came out last week his beloved federal government is now suing him.
Come to find out, his company Berkshire Hathaway owns NetJets , a private aviation company,
Looks like Mr. raise my taxes hasn't being paying his taxes for NetJets.
NetJets Inc. was countersued by the U.S. For $366 million in taxes and penalties.
NetJets in November sued the U.S., saying the federal government had wrongly imposed taxes, interest and penalties totaling more than $642.7 million.
How bout them apples?
Warren plays a dottering old guy on TV.
A man wanting you to pay more taxes and he's not even paying his.
That's my point of view, what's yours?

Using data from a three-year study of socioeconomic factors influencing hunting in 23 indigenous communities, we assess the influence of indigenous and Christian beliefs and practices on dietary taboos among Makushi and Wapishana peoples in the Guyanese Amazon. We found that members of Evangelical and established (Anglican and Catholic) churches do not differ significantly in terms of their adherence to dietary restrictions and members of Sabbatarian churches show a stronger tendency to adhere to dietary taboos than Evangelicals or members of established churches. Counter to expectations, we found no significant difference in avoidance of meat between households belonging to established and Evangelical churches. Furthermore, members of all church groups deviated in terms of dietary restrictions from indigenous norms as exemplified in dietary advice given by shamans. We conclude that, despite doctrinal opposition to shamanistic practices associated with indigenous taboos, there is continuity in terms of dietary practice among Makushi and Wapishana households that have converted to Evangelical and, to some degree, Sabbatarian forms of Christianity.

New Zealand Native Duped Investors Out of More than $300,000
YAHYA NAJIB NAWABI, a/k/a ALEX NAWABI, 33, of Northridge, California, was sentenced today in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to 54 months in prison and 3 years of supervised release for Conspiracy to Commit Wire Fraud, Money Laundering and Making False Statements to Law Enforcement. U. S. District Judge Ronald B. Leighton also ordered NAWABI to pay $324,700 in restitution to the victims. NAWABI, originally from Afghanistan, pleaded guilty on September 5, 2008. His girlfriend, BEENA BEDI, pleaded guilty on September 12, 2008, to Making False Statements to the FBI. BEDI is scheduled to be sentenced on March 6, 2009. Judge Leighton told NAWABI, "You are a con-artist, a flim-flam man, you were out to get people's money, not to get them loans."
According to documents filed in this case, NAWABI, assisted by BEDI, pretended to be "Alex Nawabi" the Chief Executive Officer of AMX Global Funding, Inc. (AMX), a California corporation, which they falsely portrayed as a "global financial powerhouse," transacting billions of dollars of business. In reality, AMX was nothing more than a false website, a bank account and a post office box. According to the website, AMX supposedly could arrange financing for a great variety of purposes, including purchases of residential and commercial real estate, heavy industrial equipment, golf course construction, timberland and precious stones. NAWABI also acted out the role of AMX executive "Alex Nawabi," in personal meetings and in wire communications, in order to induce fraud victims into entrusting him and BEDI with their money.
Although the money turned over by the victims was supposed to be used as down payments for loans, or for investment purposes, NAWABI and BEDI converted the money to their own use. They laundered it through transfers among multiple business and personal bank accounts. NAWABI further deceived his victims by representing to them that he owned emeralds worth millions of dollars, and that he would provide the emeralds to the victims as "collateral" for the loans. The emeralds, however, were near-worthless. Once the victims had given their money to NAWABI and BEDI, NAWABI attempted to prevent them from complaining or reporting the fraud scheme by lulling them with false stories about the continued progress of the supposed business deals, as well as false stories of how the deals were being delayed by supposed legal difficulties suddenly suffered by the AMX corporation.
In all, NAWABI defrauded nine (9) victims out of $324,700. These victims resided in Scottsdale, AZ; Tacoma, WA; Salem, OR; Long beach, CA; Newark, CA; Universal City, CA; and St. Paul, MN. During 2004 and 2005, one victim, from Tacoma, Washington, gave NAWABI and BEDI approximately $135,000 as part of her attempt to purchase a small business in Tacoma. Even after learning that they were under investigation by law enforcement, NAWABI and BEDI continued their efforts to defraud additional victims by successfully defrauding two New Zealanders, residing in Long Beach, California, out of $80,000 and $20,000 respectively. Ultimately, NAWABI and BEDI used the money from these two victims to buy a business in Sunland, California, called Luckey's Liquor and Deli.
"I have spoken with victims of financial fraud schemes, and can tell you that the emotional and financial pain they endure can be beyond description," said Kenneth J. Hines, the IRS Special Agent in Charge of the Pacific Northwest. "Federal law enforcement will always be there to hold accountable those who would seek to destroy the hopes and dreams of the innocent."
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI), and was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Darwin Roberts and David Reese Jennings.

Josephine Bernadette Devlin McAliskey (born 23 April 1947), usually known as Bernadette Devlin or Bernadette McAliskey, is an Irish socialist and republican political activist. She served as a Member of the UK Parliament from 1969 to 1974 for the Mid Ulster constituency, in which role she slapped the Home Secretary, Reginald Maudling, as a reaction to his comments on Bloody Sunday. She lost her seat to John Dunlop of the Vanguard Progressive Unionist Party, after coming third in a four-sided contest in the general election of February 1974.[1]
Political beginnings[edit]
Devlin was born in Cookstown, County Tyrone, and raised as a Roman Catholic. She attended St Patrick's Girls Academy in Dungannon.[2] She was studying Psychology at Queen's University Belfast in 1968 when she took a prominent role in a student-led civil rights organisation, People's Democracy.[3] Devlin was subsequently excluded from the university.[3] She stood unsuccessfully against James Chichester-Clark in the Northern Ireland general election of 1969. When George Forrest, the MP for Mid Ulster, died, she fought the subsequent by-election on the "Unity" ticket, defeating a female Ulster Unionist Party candidate, Forrest's widow Anna, and was elected to the Westminster Parliament. At age 21, she was the youngest MP at the time, and remains the youngest woman ever elected to Westminster.[3]
Devlin stood on the slogan "I will take my seat and fight for your rights" – signalling her rejection of the traditional Irish republican tactic of abstentionism (being absent from Westminster). On 22 April 1969, the day before her 22nd birthday, she swore the Oath of Allegiance to Queen Elizabeth II[4] and made her maiden speech within an hour.[5]
The Troubles[edit]
The Battle of the Bogside[edit]
After engaging, on the side of the residents, in the Battle of the Bogside, she was convicted of incitement to riot in December 1969, for which she served a short jail term.[6] After being re-elected in the 1970 general election, Devlin declared that she would sit in Parliament as an independent socialist.[7]
Bloody Sunday[edit]
Having witnessed the events of Bloody Sunday, Devlin was infuriated that she was later consistently denied the floor in Parliament, despite the fact that parliamentary convention decreed that any MP witnessing an incident under discussion would be granted an opportunity to speak about it therein.[8]
Devlin slapped Reginald Maudling, the Home Secretary in the Conservative government, across the face when he stated in the House of Commons that the Paras had fired in self-defence on Bloody Sunday.[3]
McAliskey helped to form the Irish Republican Socialist Party with Seamus Costello in 1974.[citation needed] This was a revolutionary socialist breakaway from Official Sinn Féin and paralleled the Irish National Liberation Army's split from the Official Irish Republican Army.[9] She served on the party's national executive in 1975, but resigned when a proposal that the INLA become subordinate to the party executive was defeated.[10] In 1977, she joined the Independent Socialist Party, but it disbanded the following year.[11]
Support for hunger strike prisoners[edit]
Bernadette Devlin stood as an independent candidate in support of the prisoners on the blanket protest and dirty protest at Long Kesh prison in the 1979 elections to the European Parliament in Northern Ireland, and won 5.9% of the vote.[12] She was a leading spokesperson for the Smash H-Block Campaign, which supported the 1981 Irish Hunger Strike in 1980 and 1981.
Injured in loyalist shooting[edit]
On 16 January 1981, she and her husband were shot by members of the Ulster Freedom Fighters, who broke into their home in Coalisland, County Tyrone.[13][14] The gunmen shot McAliskey seven times in front of her children.[15] British soldiers were watching the McAliskey home at the time, but failed to prevent the assassination attempt.[3][16] An army patrol of the 3rd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, heard the shots and rushed to McAliskey's house. The paramilitaries had torn out the telephone and while the wounded couple were being given first aid by the troops, a soldier ran to a neighbour's house, commandeered a car, and drove to the home of a councillor to telephone for help. The couple were taken by helicopter to hospital in nearby Dungannon for emergency treatment and then to the Musgrave Park Hospital, Military Wing, in Belfast, under intensive care. Three attackers, including Ray Smallwoods, captured by the army patrol, were subsequently jailed.[17][18]
Dáil Éireann elections[edit]
In 1982, she twice failed in an attempt to be elected to the Dublin North–Central constituency of Dáil Éireann.[19]
Denied entry into the US[edit]
In 2003, she was barred from entering the United States and deported on the grounds that the United States Department of State had declared that she "poses a serious threat to the security of the United States"[20] — apparently referring to her conviction for incitement to riot in 1969 — although she protested that she had no terrorist involvement and had frequently been permitted to travel to the United States in the past.[20][21][22]
Personal life[edit]
In 1971, while still unmarried, she gave birth to a daughter, Róisín.[3] This cost her much support in Roman Catholic areas.[23] She married Michael McAliskey on 23 April 1973, which was her 26th birthday.[citation needed]
On 12 May 2007, she was guest speaker at éirígí's first Annual James Connolly commemoration in Arbour Hill, Dublin.[24] She currently co-ordinates a not-for-profit community development organisation based in Dungannon, the South Tyrone Empowerment Programme,[25] and works with migrant workers to improve their treatment in Northern Ireland.[3]
In 1969 John Goldschmidt, a director and producer, made the documentary film Bernadette Devlin for ATV, which was shown on ITV and on CBS's 60 Minutes and included footage of Devlin during the Battle of the Bogside. Another documentary, Bernadette: Notes on a Political Journey, directed by Leila Doolan, was released in 2011.[26] At the 2008 Cannes Film Festival a biopic of Devlin was announced,[3] but Devlin stated that "[t]he whole concept is abhorrent to me" and the film was not made.

Royals win pitching duel in the Bronx
NEW YORK — James Shields wiggled out of early trouble and got home run help from Billy Butler and David Lough as the Kansas City Royals sent the New York Yankees to their third straight loss, 3-1 Tuesday night.
Center fielder Lorenzo Cain contributed four nifty catches, defensive replacement Elliot Johnson ranged a long way for a grounder and Kansas City backed Shields (4-6) with a pair of double plays.
Fittingly, the game ended on a fine, twisting grab by another defensive sub, third baseman Mike Moustakas.
CC Sabathia (9-7) gave up seven hits in his second complete game.
Once again, the Yankees had trouble scoring. They've managed exactly one run in each of their last three games — not since 2005 had they scored one run or fewer in three straight, STATS said.
The hitting slump left the Yankees with a three-game home losing streak for the first time since they dropped four in a row in late July 2012.
Lough led off the sixth inning with a tying home run and Butler opened the seventh with a go-ahead shot. Butler hit 29 homers last year and was an All-Star, but has slumped this season — he came into this series with six homers before connecting in the first two games.
Beset by a lack of run support, Shields had won just once in his previous 12 starts, and came in with a losing record despite a 3.23 ERA and ranking among the AL leaders in several pitching categories.
