Mel M I'm not sure if I'm going to complete or continue this challenge. Though I sleep early, that is 9PM everyday, but I usually wake up at 3AM for my early morning (dragonboat) trainings. It's a quality 6hrs sleep though. d[^_^]b
Wow! Congrats to your GM ladies and goodluck for next year's competition. My teammates were encouraging me to do a tryouts for the Hungary race, but I'm a chicken, LOL.

Have a great weekend Alan! d[^_^]b
Eliza K My body really needed good rest. I fell asleep at about 18:30 and woke up at 7:30 :)

Dot B I did it!!!! this is the first time in a very very very very very x million that I have slept right through!!! I feel on top of the world today!!

David B answered the question Too much sleep?
As Laura stated adults need between 7 and 8 hours of sleep per night. Contrary to popular belif you cannot "catch up on sleep" it just doesn't work that way. If you miss out on sleep that is it. You can sleep longer...
David L encouraged this.
Casey K answered the question Would 10pm til 8am be acceptable?
This may be a good question for the challenge creator @gorgeous-georgeto answer. I, personally, would think it would be acceptable. But that i just my opinion. I am going to wait for the answer, too. I am curious!
Emma K encouraged this.
I usually don't get to sleep until late (commonly past twelve), which is more of a problem for me than sleeping all night through, but my question is would the challenge still be able to be completed if I slept from 10pm to 8am (the same amount of...
Micah G answered the question Too much sleep?
That is a legitimate problem, not sure that I could even force my body to sleep that long continuously. Perhaps this challenge is in fact geared towards people who are sleep deprived, trying to motivate them to catch...
Mairead S encouraged this.
Laura H asked Too much sleep?
To complete this challenge you need a minimum of 10 hrs sleep. Is this to much sleep unless you are ill or otheriwse already sleep deprived? The National Sleep Foundation states 7 to 8 hrs per night is fine for most healthy adults not already ex...
Josh W Holy crap, it's been almost 2 months and I can't complete this thing. Goes with having a 9 month old, i guess.
Wooohoooo O no chance last night as I was late to bed and had some evil magpie cackling again this morning - bah!
Carol Ann B, Nigel K and 1 otherCarol Ann B, Nigel K and Guillaume S encouraged this.
Kirstin M answered the question Just for people with Babies??
Hi, I did it too. I have trouble sleeping every night (always being woken by the cats) it did say that a loo break was acceptable though, so I took it as one of these "happy challenges" which you can basically do or...
Dee D so far with this challenge I realized how much I was of sleep deprived. I was sleeping at least 3-5 hours daily. Making sure my house was fully clean before I go to bed which would be around 12-1am to wake up the next day at 5:20 am to make breakfast for my family before their day began. Now I go to bed no later then 10:30 and still wake up at 5:20 which is 7 hours of sleep. There has been times that I would not fall asleep right away however I am resting my body and I needed that. Thank you for this challenge. This is my sixth day and it will be a challenge I will not end. Thank you
Callie C I had achieved this but need to unachieve and re do:) nearly three year old has taken back to climbing back into our bed every night!
Angelica B, Scott F and 3 othersAngelica B, Scott F, Hideki S, Guillaume S and Karan A encouraged this.
Rebecca H I did have to use the loo once and at the same time I fed the bub, by far the best sleep in ages!
Carol B encouraged this.
David B This may be more of a challenge for me than it would be for @gorgeous-george. I can't remember the last time I slept that long in one stretch.
just out of curiosity, what kind of nocturnal activities do you guys indulge in while you're not sleeping?
David B encouraged this.
While I would like to describe all sorts of exciting nocturnal activities, the reality is this: I take a nap after dinner, wake up later in the evening, get some work done, then go back to sleep after midnight. I rarely sleep more than five hours at one time.
The mind boggles, doesn't it? Like David, my reality is no where near as exciting as I'd like - I typically have my nose in a book once I've exhasuted work, working out and eating for the day ;-)
David B encouraged this.
Are you sure you want to quit this Challenge?
Why not ask for some advice from other Challenge takers, or read some of the Challenge guides first?OK, I'll keep working at it!

AV Magazine Issue 1 2011
Humane Teachers for Humane Students
20 2011 Humane TeacHers for Humane sTudenTs aaVs: You've been a long-time advocate for humane education. Has it become globally accepted? nick: There's been real progress over the past decade in terms of a growing movement for humane education and alternatives, and an increasing awareness and acceptance of innovative ways to meet teaching objectives. In many university de- partments, alternatives are now the norm. How has it come about? The widespread and increasing use of computer technology has opened doors to software alternatives. Also, financial considerations have forced a reassessment of some practices. So, the implementa- tion of replacement methods has been gaining pace, and the pedagogical, ethical, and economic advantages of alternatives are being more widely recognized. What do you think has been the driving force behind these changes? Sustained grassroots activity is the key factor for success. That's not always easy. True, but there are always challenges to face and opportunities to take. Some are unique to specific cultures and situations in time, others are common to us all. Russia, Mexico, and India can illustrate this. Tell us about the situation in russia. The challenges in Russia are great, because there's no relevant legislation and there's a tradition of widespread animal use during Soviet times. Also, Russia is a fairly conservative society, so innovation in educa- tion is unusual. But the situation there is increas- ingly positive, demon- strating the cultural and economic changes that are playing a role in the replacement of harmful animal use. are lack of finances an incentive? Many educational institutes have been struggling for funds since the collapse of the Soviet Union, causing a decrease in some animal experiments and dissection of purpose-killed animals. There hasn't been a parallel investment in other learning tools, however, and the resultant "resource vacuum" provides a major oppor- tunity for alternatives to be introduced. What types of alternatives? A number of exciting projects between university departments and InterNICHE have introduced software and manikin alternatives, sometimes as part of new multimedia laboratories, with very posi- tive feedback. Formal agreements have been signed with over 10 departments and faculties to introduce alternatives, leading to the replacement of over 20,000 animals annually. Translation of several alterna- tives into Russian, and the availability of freeware, have facilitated this process. is this trend growing in russia? Yes, and the introduction of good learn- ing tools and modern technology, along with the prestige of collaborating with foreign organizations, is giving alterna- tives a good reputation. With increased interest from other universities now that the possibility of change has been demonstrated, academic conferences are beginning to address the issue, and some teachers are now actively promoting alternatives to their colleagues. What's been the role of grassroots groups there? Together with the Russian animal rights group VITA, InterNICHE has achieved very broad media attention for this implementation and replacement, with TV coverage reaching hundreds of mil- lions of people, including other former Soviet Republics. For example, parallel progress and a similar degree of replace- ment is happening in Ukraine, where a new animal protection law demands the use of alternatives in education. All of this is happening despite animal protec- tion groups having very little money. They sound like very dedicated activists. What about grassroots efforts in other regions? In Mexico, there's been an increasing num- ber of humane education initiatives from PHOTOs By InTe r n ICH e Global Efforts in Humane Education Nick Jukes with a student demonstrating a veterinary alternative.

Czech communist whisky matures to excellence
The liquor company that the distillery belonged to, Stock Plzen-Bozkov, was privatized. The new owners felt the drink had no future. They sold some 250 barrels for a ridiculously low price - "barbarism," recalled Sitner.
In 2007, U.S. hedge fund Oaktree Capital Management acquired the company.
When officials from London-based Stock Spirits Group that controls the company for the fund were presented the local whisky, their first response was "impossible it was made here," Sitner remembered. After it passed a test in a tasting with some other single malt whiskies that followed, the company decided to put it on the market.
"Look at the gold," Sitner said with pride during a recent visit to Pradlo cellar where hundreds the original oak barrels are still in place. "It's a beautiful color," he said, holding a glass just taken from a barrel.
Demand for Hammer Head has been solid around the globe, but Sitner would not reveal how much was made and how much is still available. He would only said if the current sales remain at the same level of 10,000 - 15,000 bottles a year, it is expected to be sold out in five to seven years. The whisky sells for about (EURO)45 ($59) a bottle.
Since 2011, Hammer Head has been listed in Jim Murray's Whisky Bible, an annual international whisky guide, where it scored 88.5 points out of 100 - putting it among "very good to excellent whiskies definitely worth buying."
"This is one of Europe's maltiest drams ... if not the maltiest," the guide said.
In 2011, it won a Masters award at the 2011 Whiskeys of the World Masters.
Petr Nemy, an organizer of whisky tastings from the Scottish Club in Prague said that after more than 20 years of aging, Hammer Head "is beautifully matured. It's delicately malty and smoky with a taste of nuts and maybe, vanilla. It has a beautifully rounded taste. It's a joy to taste it."

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Kathy JefcoatsAn Atlanta man accused of posing as a firefighter to collect money was in Henry County Magistrate Court Friday morning. Kennedy Kwame Afari, 41, of Murphy Avenue told Chief Magistrate Judy Hayes that he needed to reschedule his preliminary hearing. "I need time to hire my attorney, Joseph Shaw," said Afari. Hayes told him and Henry police Detective Whitney Vaughn to return to court April 5. "Bring your lawyer with you," Hayes told Afari. In addition to Vaughn, several Henry County firefighters also attended the hearing. The fire department has declined to comment on the case although fire officials worked jointly with police in making the arrest. Afari faces two counts of soliciting funds unlawfully and one each of impersonating a public officer or employee and theft by deception. Henry County police Lt. Ken Turner said Afari targeted foreign-owned businesses, probably because of the language barrier and because owners are typically "public safety friendly." His alleged scheme included dressing in a firefighter's uniform with generic fire department patches and a walkie talkie on his belt. Turner said Afari is accused of soliciting money for burn victims and to promote fire and safety plans. No one else is suspected of being involved, he said, but the investigation shows Afari may have operated this scheme in Henry, Clayton, DeKalb and Fulton counties. Afari made a $2,700 bond around 10 p.m. Wednesday, hours after his arrest. If convicted on all charges, Afari faces more than 15 years in prison and more than $11,000 in fines. Turner said anyone with information about this case should contact his or her local law enforcement agency. Hampton man charged with theft A Hampton man charged with stealing $750 in used oil and caught the attention of federal investigators in the process told a Henry magistrate he just wanted to plead guilty Friday morning. Michael Leonard Barnes, 42, of Lakeside Villa Drive was arrested for felony theft by taking Thursday. He made a $1,500 bond and was released. Barnes was in Henry Chief Magistrate Judy Hayes' courtroom Friday morning for a preliminary hearing. Henry County police Detective Mike Hardy also attended to present the case. Barnes, who was not represented by counsel, appeared confused about the proceedings. "I just want to plead guilty," Barnes told Hayes. However, Magistrate Court is not the proper venue for the case, which is a felony. Hayes bound over the case to Superior Court for possible presentment to the grand jury. Henry County police said investigators with U.S. Homeland Security are also interested in Barnes, although it is not known to what extent.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. ( TheStreet) -- Deutsche Bank Securities biotech analyst Robyn Karnauskas says Vertex Pharmaceuticals (VRTX - Get Report) needs to come up with good answers to five key questions about its VX-809/Kalydeco cystic fibrosis therapy to boost investor confidence in the program as it moves into a phase III study early next year.
Detailed and final data from the phase II study of VX-809/Kalydeco will be presented Thursday at 11:40 am EDT at the 2012 North American Cystic Fibrosis (NACF) conference.
Here are Karnauskas' five key questions:
1. Was there a dose-response trend with the lower doses of VX-809 (200 mg and 400 mg) not reported in June?Vertex has previously disclosed the 200 mg and 400 mg doses of VX-809 reported statistically significant improvements in lung function compared to placebo although those improvements were lower than what was observed in the highest, 600 mg dose of VX-809 studied in the phase II trial.

Robert Morris/ Uptown Messenger
NEWORLEANS-- After a woman told investigators last week that a SUV driver beckoned her to cross Magazine Street and then ran her down as she was doing so, New Orleans police say newly-obtained video shows the vehicle passing her without incident and her falling on the sidewalk of her own accord.
The woman initially told police that she was waiting to cross in the 2000 block of Magazine Street on the evening of June 5 when an SUV driver gestured for her to cross in front of him, police said last week. As she stepped into the street, the woman said, the SUV accelerated and hit her, then stopped so a passenger could say 'Ha ha, b-----,' before fleeing, police said.

Philippines to take up China row in Asean
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines – The Philippines plans to raise anew its territorial dispute with China at an upcoming meeting among senior officials of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) and the United States.
This was indicated in a dialogue fact sheet furnished by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) which said participants at the meeting, scheduled for May 20 to 22, would "exchange views on regional and international developments."
Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario Tuesday told the Inquirer the dialogue was "a regular meeting aimed at enhancing the relations of both sides and charting the course of Asean-US partnership."
Foreign Undersecretary for Policy Erlinda Basilio and Kurt Campbell, assistant secretary for East Asia and the Pacific of the US State Department, will co-chair the meeting.
The fact sheet noted that the Philippines is the "country coordinator for Asean-US dialogue relations from 2009 to 2012," and that the US is "one of the longstanding dialogue partners of Asean, having established relations with the multilateral body in 1977."
The meeting will "review the progress in Asean-US cooperation and exchange views on regional and international developments, including the preparations of the 4th Asean-US leaders' meeting in November."
It also expected to "review Asean-US relations and recommend future actions, including opportunities to enhance cooperation on regional and global issues; strengthen cooperation and coordination in specific sectors, such as trade and investment, disaster response and energy security; and identify new steps for the effective implementation of the decisions of previous Asean-US leaders' meetings and the plan of action to implement the joint declaration on enhanced Asean-US partnership," the fact sheet said.
The militant Bagong Alyansang Makabayan (Bayan) said the Philippines, being the "US errand boy in Asean," would be expected to take up these issues in line with US interests.
"The Philippine government may take up its dispute with China, but this would be framed within American interests, like an increased US military presence in Southeast Asia. While the US may downplay its role in the dispute with China, it obviously seeks a greater presence in the region, using the dispute as another pretext even via a multilateral body like Asean. This poses complications and may even escalate tensions," said Bayan secretary general Renato Reyes Jr.

E3 2013 | Mario Gets His Feline On In "3D World"
Posted on June 12, 2013 AT 09:35am
People enjoyed New Super Mario Bros. U, but not as much as they would've wanted a true 3D Mario title in the vein of Galaxy and Sunshine. Fortunately our prayers have been answered with the announcement of Super Mario 3D World, a four-player co-op platformer that brings a few new things to the Mario franchise.
Super Mario 3D World lets you control Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad as you go from level-to-level in a setup similar to 3DS's Super Mario 3D Land. Co-op players can help (or hinder if they're jerks) their friends throughout the levels, whether it's reaching higher areas or giving as much of an extra hand to defeat Goombas and various bosses. There are even some multiplayer aspects where you have to both work together in order to reach a level. One example of this teamwork-based world came in Level 1-5, where you and your friends ride a new aquatic-based Yoshi along the river as you collect coins, avoid obstacles, and time long jumps appropriately.
New to Super Mario 3D World is the cat power-up, which can be obtained when you collect a bell from the mystery box. The cat power-up gives you the abilities of wall-climbing, pouncing, and swiping your opponents. This came in handy in Levels 2-1 and 4-2, where you need to reach higher places in order to get to the flag at the end of the level. One cool aspect of the cat power-up is that if you have it when you reach the flag, your character will climb up to the top and grab you an extra life.
One of the levels I also got to check out was a peek at what to expect of the boss battles. At the end of World 4 you will face off against a multi-headed serpent, whose biggest head you need to pound on three times (the usual number in the Mario realm) in order to defeat. You will need to jump on top of the snake heads with plates in order to reach the highest peak to perform the ground pound. It gets wicked tricky when you accidentally jump on a snake with a broken plate, as he will attack you and take away your current power-ups. It's a very tough level, so much in fact that the person I was playing with wound up doing all the work and I was stuck as a mini-Luigi.
From the four levels I got to try out Super Mario 3D World is looking to be another home run in the Mario adventure realm. While it may not contain the open world feeling of Super Mario Galaxy it still feels like a good step in the right direction for an HD Mario title. Super Mario 3D World hits stores in December for the Wii U.

lack of information
i generally dont post alot on forums but i do read the posts. i feel compelled to voice my opinion on this matter and that is lack of information from cryptic.
i understand its a new game with bugs, exploits, crashes and downtime but cryptic is the worst i have seen in a long time for communication with the player base about what is going on. we dont want generic messages. tell us a ETA and keep it updated
where are the ingame GM's? it is really very simple, just tell us what is going on. at least most speculations will stop and we can have some educated gripes.
the game itself is fun but lacking a crafting system and harvesting system.

Orb to Support Intel's Remote Wake Technology
EMERYVILLE, Calif., Aug. 14 /PRNewswire/ — Orb Networks (http://www.orb.com/) today announced it has collaborated with Intel to update its award-winning media access service to work with Intel's(R) Remote Wake technology. Orb's support for this new functionality enables consumers to "wake up" their home PC from energy-efficient sleep mode to access all their media, anytime, from any internet-connected device. Select Intel motherboards with support for Intel Remote Wake technology will be available next month.
Orb Networks, the place-shifting and media access leader, enables users to enjoy all the media that's on their PCs — music, photos, videos even live TV (with a tuner card) — while they are away. The new Intel Remote Wake technology enables Orb users to put their PC into sleep mode, and "wake it up" with the same simple login and password they use to access their Orb account. Because Orb streams content over the internet, it eliminates the need to synch their media ahead of time. With the ability to remotely wake their PC, Orb users can enjoy whatever they want, whenever they want it, even if they did not leave their computer turned on.
"The 'remote wake' feature on the new Intel chipsets enable the last piece of media freedom for people who want to enjoy their media while they are away from home," said Herve Utheza, VP and GM of Orb Networks. "With Orb, OEMs, system integrators, and white box manufacturers can easily put together differentiated configurations that meet the needs of today's media-savvy consumers, while leveraging a robust and proven application that is energy efficient."
"Intel was eager to collaborate with Orb Networks on incorporating support for Intel Remote Wake technology," said Joe Van De Water, Director of Consumer Product Marketing at Intel. "We believe Orb users are going to embrace these energy-saving features, and actually extend their media consumption into new areas. With the ability to keep their home PC in sleep mode until they actually need it, people are bound to want access to their photos, videos and music literally anytime, anywhere."

Orb Networks is an award-winning developer of software and services that unlock the digital media stored on personal computers. Orb gives consumers secure, free, instant, and everywhere-access to everything from their TV and music, to photos and video on virtually any web-enabled device.

At this week's Sunday morning service, the pastor at the Third Baptist Church of Portsmouth, Va., filled his sermon with a striking note of urgency, 16 days before Election Day.
"I want you to vote. I want you to vote early!" the Rev. Joseph B. Fleming implored.
"We're in combat! You heard what I say? We're in combat. This is a battle that must be won!" Fleming cried, as heads nodded and shouts of "Yessir!" and "Hallelujah!" echoed through the chapel.
"It's not about any one candidate. It's about you. It's about your grandchildren. It's about the sacrifice that our foreparents made," Fleming told the congregation, comprised entirely of African-Americans.
In his quest to become the first Democrat to win Virginia in two generations, Sen. Barack Obama will count on sizable support in cities like Portsmouth, which is 50 percent black.
"I think whoever can win this area, I think that's where our president will come from," said Edward Parker, the president of Third Baptist's men's choir.
Just a short drive from the church is the Norfolk Naval Base, the area's predominant employer and the heart of this military community. Shipyards line the landscape.
At Sen. John McCain's local headquarters in Virginia Beach, volunteer Troy Cole was among the half-dozen workers dialing voters Sunday morning.
"McCain is going to bring us jobs, rather than allow businesses to continue to relocate overseas as Bush has allowed to happen," Cole said. "Obama will lose jobs and spend more."
"Virginia's gonna remain a red state," Cole confidently predicted.
But the fact that this critical region, the coastal southeastern portion of the state known as Hampton Roads, is in play in this election underscores the challenge McCain faces here.
"Although I've always been kind of a GOP guy, I'm probably still up in the air and may even go the other direction," said one man in his late 40s who declined to give his name but noted he works for the Department of Defense.
The man said many of his neighbors in the military towns along the Chesapeake Bay are feeling the same way.
"I think there's a lot of folks that are moving more toward the Democratic side, because they're a little disheartened with the last eight years with the way the GOP has gone," he said.
When asked whether former Secretary of State Colin Powell's endorsement of Obama that morning would have any impact in these Navy towns, the man called it "the nail in the coffin" for McCain.
"I think Obama already had a lead, and with [Powell's] endorsement, it's pretty much a done deal."
Polls suggest Obama has a substantial lead in Virginia. A CNN/Time/Opinion Research poll released Oct. 14 showed Obama ahead of McCain, 53-43 percent, among likely voters in the state.
Three hours north of Hampton Roads, another dependable Republican bastion seems vulnerable.
Over the past decade, as the suburbs of Washington, D.C., experienced a population explosion fueled by the high-tech boom and a surge in government contracting jobs, historically Republican Northern Virginia counties, such as Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun, have become increasingly Democratic.
In 2004, President George Bush beat Sen.John Kerry in both Prince William and Loudoun but lost in Fairfax, where the Democratic Party now has firm control of the local government.

You welcome
Almost $800 for a chair ?!
Thats the price of my first car
YES :)), I know working too much will hurt me, actually I post an article about how sitting will kill us, anyway I have this idea that everyone should have the best equipments for their career, so I am trying to collect the best for my job. chair is the most important thing since it's the first thing provide comfort.
you know Net is not really comfortable, but it forces you to sit up and walk for some minutes due it's hard surface, so I think it's helpful, also your body can breath easily, I love the adjustable arms too. very convenient.
our generation has the most turtle necks than ever because of the life style, and these back pains are coming from working with computers.
always try to hold back your shoulders, it helps you keep your neck and back straight enough, and also when siting try to put one leg in front and one in back, so our pelvis wont let us to crouch.live healthy,
Ahh, i hear you. But since i already have the backs ruined due to a disease, i put comfort over it (cant get much worse ), even my mattress is like the most "spongy" and soft there is, and not those orthopedic and hard as floor ones!
But yeah, work on maintaining that body healthy, its the only one we got!

Hey Guys! I've been a looong time reader of Micechat, but first time poster. So I thought I'd start with a question!
My cousin is getting married in September and spending her honeymoon at Disneyland. Instead of the standard mixing bowl I wanted to get something special and thought of the Mickey and Minnie Bride and Groom ears. Since I don't live near Disneyland, my friend will buy them for me and bring them when she visits. Does anyone know how much the ears cost? I searched the threads and Internet but couldn't find anything helpful.
Thanks for your help!

Memphis man wanted for murder captured in Alaska
A Memphis man wanted here in the murder of his girlfriend last May was captured Tuesday night more than 4,000 miles from the Bluff City.
Police in Anchorage, Alaska, arrested David "D.J." Burrows, 30, about 8 p.m., according to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.
Memphis homicide investigators last month issued first-degree murder and aggravated kidnapping warrants for Burrows.
He became a suspect after the body of his girlfriend, Marquita Adams, 24, was discovered about 3:45 a.m. on May 15 lying in the back seat of a green Ford Escort at 1297 Empire in North Memphis. A medical examiner determined that Adams died from multiple blunt- force traumas, as from being hit or beaten.
Acting on information developed by federal marshals in Tennessee, a SWAT-like Anchorage police special assignments unit found Burrows. He was riding as a passenger 1992 Volvo driven by Cedrius Carter, 26, of Anchorage, in a residential area on East 56th, near Lake Otis Parkway in Alaska's largest city.
Officers found that Burrows possessed fake Missouri identification, a birth certificate and Social Security card all bearing the false name Eddie Douglas, said Lt. Dave Parker a spokesman for Anchorage police.
Burrows also had a small plastic bag of crack cocaine and crystal methamphetamine, police said.
Placed in the back of a police vehicle by officer Luis Soto, Burrows made two statements, Parker said.
"Thank you for not killing me," Burrows repeated twice. He also said, "Please don't hurt me."
Parker said quite a few fugitives attempt to escape to Anchorage, where the "scorching hot" temperature on Wednesday was forecast to reach the lower to mid-60s.
He said the wanted people seldom escape justice.
"My suggestion is that they go all the way to Russia instead of just stopping here," Parker said.
Burrows was held in jail in Anchorage and is awaiting extradition back to Tennessee, TBI and Memphis police officials said.
The TBI on Wednesday scratched Burrows from the agency's Top 10 Most Wanted Fugitives list.

Father, 78, and son, 50, ran East Orange pharmacy
An Essex County pharmacist and his son were sentenced Monday for defrauding the Medicaid program of more than $700,000.
Herbert Brandt, 78, of Verona, the owner of Pharmacy of America in East Orange, was sentenced to three years in state prison by state Superior Court Judge Joseph C. Cassini III in Newark, state Acting Insurance Prosecutor Riza Dagli said. Brandt's son, Douglas Brandt, 50, also of Verona, who operated Pharmacy of America, was also sentenced to three years.
The Brandts were ordered to pay restitution to the Medicaid program and a civil penalty totaling $1.1 million. They will be excluded from the Medicaid program for eight years.Under a plea agreement, Herbert Brandt also entered into a consent agreement with the Board of Pharmacy to surrender his license to practice pharmacy.
The Brandts pleaded guilty on Sept. 23 to charges of second-degree health care claims fraud. Douglas Brandt also pleaded guilty to third-degree witness tampering. He was sentenced to three years on the health care claims fraud charge, and three years on the witness tampering charge, with the sentences to run concurrently.
"Any pharmacist who serves Medicaid beneficiaries knows firsthand the vital role the program plays in providing medicines to those who otherwise could not afford them," state Attorney General Paula T. Dow said. "It is outrageous that a licensed pharmacist would steal from the program and induce vulnerable customers to barter away medicines they need."
In pleading guilty, the Brandts admitted that, through Pharmacy of America, they submitted approximately 2,986 false claims for payment to Medicaid in the total amount of $741,842. They admitted that they paid beneficiaries cash, in lieu of receiving their AIDS/HIV and other expensive medications. In turn, Pharmacy of America billed and was paid by the Medicaid program for medications that were never ordered or dispensed.
Douglas Brandt also admitted that he attempted to coerce a witness, John Meo, to withhold testimony.
The Brandts were charged as a result of Operation PharmScam, an ongoing investigation targeting Medicaid fraud that has been conducted by the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, the Jersey City police and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Office of Criminal Investigations. To date, 13 people, including a clinic owner, pharmacist, pharmacy technician and Medicaid beneficiaries, have pleaded guilty for their roles in the scheme and have been sentenced or are pending sentencing.
"The Medicaid program loses millions of dollars to fraud every year in New Jersey, and far too frequently licensed professionals are involved," Dagli said. "We will continue to make these cases a top priority in order to bring dishonest licensees to justice and prevent the loss of taxpayer funding for this crucial program."
On Jan. 24, 2008, arrest warrants were issued for 14 persons as part of the investigation into the Pharmacy of America and other pharmacies which were buying prescriptions from patients and billing the Medicaid Program for medicines that were never provided. At the same time, the state began an asset forfeiture case by executing seizure orders for numerous assets, including more than $660,000 in assets of the Brandts that will be used, pursuant to settlement of the forfeiture case, to pay the criminal restitution and civil penalty.
The investigation was conducted for the OIFP Medicaid Fraud Control Unit by Detectives Danielle Han, Joseph Jaruszewski, Jacqueline Latty, Kevin Gannon and Sgt. Fred Weidman, with assistance from Auditor Cleair Budhu, Technical Assistant B'leia Williams and Division of Taxation Auditor Kevin Curry.
Deputy Attorneys General Sherry Wilson and Debra Conrad are prosecuting the case with assistance from Deputy Attorney General Erik Daab, deputy chief of the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, and Deputy Attorneys General William Hoyman, Cynthia Vazquez and Linda Rinaldi.
Deputy Attorney General Carol Stanton Meier, Sgt. James Wrightson and Analyst Bethany Schussler handled the asset forfeiture action for the Division of Criminal Justice.

I'm a sucker for warm cookies. And campfires.
Maybe it's all the TV I watch, but I constantly feel like a giant man child. I know I'm supposed to save money and look for a wife, but I have a propensity to do the opposite of those things. That said, I feel like I'm starting to show signs of maturity. I've found myself being in charge of a few projects that require a level of organization that I've never really attempted. I'm not religious or a health nut, but for lent I've given up eating meat. I'm a really bad vegetarian. One would think my intake of plants would increase by going veggie, but turns out I get a lot of my herbage from side salads with my meat. Life's been busy lately trying to balance work, snowboarding, and planning an upcoming vacation. I often find myself at someone's house party or a bar, but I have been known to pour some tea, light some candles, and play video games into the wee hours of the morning on a Saturday night. I try a little too hard for laughs sometimes and when I get nervous, I get even more nervous because I'm trying to hide the fact that I'm nervous. While I have a ton of friends of varying degrees, I'm trying to figure out why romantically I suck. Maybe I'm afraid of getting to know someone really well because then I feel some semblance responsibility for them and I don't want to let them down. Or...maybe I am scared of connecting with someone where I rely on them for emotional validation because if they don't agree with me in an exposed state I'll be devastated. Or possibly I just don't think I can find a girl that would encourage tomfoolery and shenanigans, because all people in relationships become shells of their former selves or just don't seem to fully reach their potential in life. It's more along the lines that my standards aren't too high, but rather too convoluted and contradictory.

Web Sting Snags Utah Guardsman
By Jeremiah Stettler, The Salt Lake Tribune
Aug. 3–A seasoned Utah National Guardsman was jailed Friday on suspicion of soliciting a minor over the Internet for sex.
Sgt. 1st Class Craig Dowen, a 20-year career soldier who joined the Utah Guard in 2002, was nabbed by the Utah Attorney General's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force after allegedly trying to arrange a sexual encounter with a teenage girl online.
After Dowen's arrest, a search of the soldier's Tooele home found dozens of marijuana plants — some as tall as 5 feet — concealed in his basement along with a sophisticated greenhouse operation, according to Ken Wallentine, chief of law enforcement for the Utah Attorney General's Office.
Wallentine described Dowen as an "aggressive" predator who had solicited three undercover officers online that evening.
Dowen's supposed 13-year-old target — whom he scheduled to meet at a Salt Lake Valley shopping center — was actually an undercover cop, Wallentine said.
Dowen's incarceration has stunned his military colleagues. The long-time soldier has served as chief marketing specialist for the Utah National Guard, promoting its brand and logo.
He was a "model soldier," according to National Guard spokesman Maj. Hank McIntire.
"We are absolutely shocked and disturbed by these allegations," McIntire said. "If the accusations prove true, we categorically reject such behavior as absolutely contrary to what the Guard stands for.
"We are an organization of values, and we expect all of our members to live by them. We are charged with keeping our citizens safe from harm, and we take that responsibility very seriously."
The Utah National Guard has pledged to cooperate with police in their investigation to ensure — as the Guard announced — that "the innocent are protected and justice is served."

LONG POND — There was a time when the Andrettis reigned at Pocono Raceway.
Back in August 1986, one of racing's most decorated families pulled off a clean sweep at the 2½-mile track. Michael Andretti won the pole, Mario Andretti won the 500-mile race and Jeff Andretti won the supporting Indy Lights race from the pole.
Sometimes, the family that races together, wins together.
"We cleaned house that weekend," a smiling Mario Andretti said. "That was my favorite memory."
It wouldn't be repeated.
Sure, a feat like that would be tough enough to pull off twice, even for a talented racing family. But there was no chance once open-wheel racing split with Pocono in 1989, leaving NASCAR behind as the top series to compete at the triangle track.
IndyCar seemed destined to live at Pocono only in the record book.
But look what's back in town. Those weren't stock cars zipping around the track at 215-plus mph on Thursday. IndyCar made its official return after a lengthy hiatus, and so much has changed — except for the leaderboard.
Yes, that was an Andretti atop the speed chart for the first test session. Marco Andretti, a third-generation driver, hit 219.282 mph to lead the 24 cars out to practice for Sunday's 400-mile race.
"He's taken to this place, from the first day of practice," Mario Andretti said. "He's had a competitive ride throughout."
It's a virtual hometown track for the Andrettis, who hail from nearby Nazareth. Andretti races for his father, Michael, owner of Andretti Autosport.
Marco was glad his grandfather, Mario, was around to help navigate the track. Mario won the pole for the 1987 race shortly after Marco was born.
"He's there to bounce things off of," Marco said. "But he doesn't dictate the way we go. He's been supportive. Only if I'm quickest."
Marco Andretti, who also topped the second practice at 220.963, can laugh about it. But he knows how much it would mean to put the family back in Victory Lane.
"I think it would be extra special, but I don't think it adds any pressure," Andretti said. "The support and everything is greatly appreciated, but there's a lot that has to go right."
The return to Pocono is being celebrated as a nod to IndyCar's history and tradition. Pocono's three corners were designed in 1965 to model corners at Indianapolis, Milwaukee and now-defunct Trenton, and fans have always considered the track an important venue in open wheel racing.
Before the first test in April, Dario Franchitti was the only driver with significant experience at the track, competing in 2008 during his ill-fated NASCAR stint.
The facility has since undergone a multimillion-dollar renovation that included significant safety upgrades, and the track was repaved in 2012 offering smooth racing at 200 mph.
"These cars are bloody quick around here," Franchitti said. "It's a tough place to figure out, with three different corners. Wait until we go into traffic. It's going to get really interesting."
In bringing Pocono back to the schedule, IndyCar resurrected the "Triple Crown" challenge, a three-race competition in 2013 for $1 million to the driver that wins the Indianapolis 500, the 400-miler at Pocono and the season finale at Fontana, Calif. A driver who wins two of the three can win a $250,000 bonus from promotion sponsor Fuzzy's Vodka.
Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan is eligible for the prize. IndyCar ran a "Triple Crown" at Indianapolis, Pocono and Ontario from 1971-1980 and from 1981-1989 at Indy, Pocono and Michigan. Only Al Unser won all three races in a single season, in 1978.
"I have never raced at Pocono Raceway, but we know we had a good car at Indy," Kanaan said.
Also, the series will utilize three-wide starts for Sunday's race.
Pocono CEO and president Brandon Igdalsky said he wanted to check out an IndyCar race at St. Petersburg last season as a fan, but it morphed into a conversation with series officials that led to the series back at the track. He's locked the track into a three-year deal with IndyCar. The open wheel series made its debut at Pocono in 1971 when Mark Donohue won the race.
With dueling series USAC and CART wreaking havoc on the open wheel structure in the late 1980s, Pocono patriarch Joseph Mattioli wanted out. Mattioli, who died in 2012, chose not to seek a new deal after 1989.
"He didn't like the way the CART guys were going about things and they didn't like the way he was going about things," Igdalsky said. "They spent years in court and it cost my grandfather a lot of money. He was basically financing the event. He had two that were making money and one that's losing money, so he said, 'Why are we going to do it?'"
About 1,000 fans turned out for Thursday's open test, catching some laps before heading off to Fourth of July cookouts.

We all have been in negotiations that involve structured settlement proposals, and almost all plaintiffs' attorneys have relationships with structured settlement brokers. Inevitably, when it's time to place a structured settlement, the plaintiffs' attorneys insist on using the structured settlement broker with whom they have a relationship. At first glance, this may not appear to matter to the defense, but in our experience, the selection of a structured settlement broker is an important decision that can contribute to the successful resolution of the case.
A structured settlement broker works on a commission received from the company with which the annuity is placed, and the annuity products they offer are not exclusive to the broker. However, some brokers provide better customer service than others, and in our view that is important.
There are valid reasons for defendants to insist on using their own structured settlement brokers. It is not unheard of for glitches to arise in the administration of structured settlements. In advance of any settlement discussions or mediations, and in an effort to resolve the case, defense counsel will ask a structured settlement broker to run proposals that will be presented at the mediation. It is only fair that the structured settlement broker have an opportunity to place the structures that he offered during the mediation should the case resolve.
More than a few times, I have received telephone calls from plaintiffs or their attorneys asking why a monthly periodic payment had not arrived. In those instances, I was fortunate enough to have had a relationship with the structured settlement broker who placed the annuity, so that broker was eager to help me quickly clear up issues. However, where the structured settlement was placed by a broker for the plaintiff, efforts to direct the activities of the plaintiff's own broker or efforts to call the 800 toll-free service number of the annuity provider took quite a bit of time. Inevitably, there are simple reasons for glitches in structured settlements, such as changes of addresses, changes in bank account information, perhaps failure to fill out ancillary forms for the annuity, including personal identification information, and so on. For the defense, using a reliable broker who is committed to resolving any quality control issues is clearly beneficial.
When the plaintiff and defendant cannot agree on a broker, a possible resolution is for the brokers to share in the placement of the annuity.
