7 U.S. Code § 2022 - Disposition of claims
(a) General authority of the Secretary
(1) Determination of claims
Except in the case of an at-risk amount required under section 2025 (c)(1)(D)(i)(II) of this title, the Secretary shall have the power to determine the amount of and settle and adjust any claim and to compromise or deny all or part of any such claim or claims arising under the provisions of this chapter or the regulations issued pursuant to this chapter, including, but not limited to, claims arising from fraudulent and nonfraudulent overissuances to recipients, including the power to waive claims if the Secretary determines that to do so would serve the purposes of this chapter. Such powers with respect to claims against recipients may be delegated by the Secretary to State agencies. The Secretary shall have the power to reduce amounts otherwise due to a State agency under section 2025 of this title to collect unpaid claims assessed against the State agency if the State agency has declined or exhausted its appeal rights under section 2023 of this title.
(2) Claims established under quality control system
To the extent that a State agency does not pay a claim established under section 2025 (c)(1) of this title, including an agreement to have all or part of the claim paid through a reduction in Federal administrative funding, within 30 days from the date on which the bill for collection is received by the State agency, the State agency shall be liable for interest on any unpaid portion of such claim accruing from the date on which the bill for collection was received by the State agency, unless the State agency appeals the claim under section 2025 (c)(7) of this title. If the State agency appeals such claim (in whole or in part), the interest on any unpaid portion of the claim shall accrue from the date of the decision on the administrative appeal, or from a date that is 1 year after the date the bill is received, whichever is earlier, until the date the unpaid portion of the payment is received. If the State agency pays such claim (in whole or in part, including an agreement to have all or part of the claim paid through a reduction in Federal administrative funding) and the claim is subsequently overturned through administrative or judicial appeal, any amounts paid by the State agency shall be promptly returned with interest, accruing from the date the payment is received until the date the payment is returned.
(3) Computation of interest
Any interest assessed under this paragraph shall be computed at a rate determined by the Secretary based on the average of the bond equivalent of the weekly 90-day Treasury bill auction rates during the period such interest accrues.
(b) Collection of overissuances
(1) In general
Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, a State agency shall collect any overissuance of benefits issued to a household by—
(B) withholding amounts from unemployment compensation from a member of the household under subsection (c) of this section;
(C) recovering from Federal pay or a Federal income tax refund under subsection (d) of this section; or
(2) Cost effectiveness
Paragraph (1) shall not apply if the State agency demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Secretary that all of the means referred to in paragraph (1) are not cost effective.
(3) Maximum reduction absent fraud
If a household received an overissuance of benefits without any member of the household being found ineligible to participate in the program under section 2015 (b)(1) of this title and a State agency elects to reduce the allotment of the household under paragraph (1)(A), the State agency shall not reduce the monthly allotment of the household under paragraph (1)(A) by an amount in excess of the greater of—
(4) Procedures
A State agency shall collect an overissuance of benefits issued to a household under paragraph (1) in accordance with the requirements established by the State agency for providing notice, electing a means of payment, and establishing a time schedule for payment.
(5) Overissuances caused by systemic State errors
(A) In general
If the Secretary determines that a State agency overissued benefits to a substantial number of households in a fiscal year as a result of a major systemic error by the State agency, as defined by the Secretary, the Secretary may prohibit the State agency from collecting these overissuances from some or all households.
(B) Procedures
(i) Information reporting by States Every State agency shall provide to the Secretary all information requested by the Secretary concerning the issuance of benefits to households by the State agency in the applicable fiscal year.
(ii) Final determination After reviewing relevant information provided by a State agency, the Secretary shall make a final determination—
(I) whether the State agency overissued benefits to a substantial number of households as a result of a systemic error in the applicable fiscal year; and
(iii) Establishing a claim Upon determining under clause (ii) that a State agency has overissued benefits to households due to a major systemic error determined under subparagraph (A), the Secretary shall establish a claim against the State agency equal to the value of the overissuance caused by the systemic error.
(iv) Administrative and judicial review Administrative and judicial review, as provided in section 2023 of this title, shall apply to the final determinations by the Secretary under clause (ii).
(v) Remission to the Secretary
(I) Determination not appealed If the determination of the Secretary under clause (ii) is not appealed, the State agency shall, as soon as practicable, remit to the Secretary the dollar amount specified in the claim under clause (iii).
(II) Determination appealed If the determination of the Secretary under clause (ii) is appealed, upon completion of administrative and judicial review under clause (iv), and a finding of liability on the part of the State, the appealing State agency shall, as soon as practicable, remit to the Secretary a dollar amount subject to the finding made in the administrative and judicial review.
(vi) Alternative method of collection
(I) In general If a State agency fails to make a payment under clause (v) within a reasonable period of time, as determined by the Secretary, the Secretary may reduce any amount due to the State agency under any other provision of this chapter by the amount due.
(c) Intercept of unemployment benefits
(1) As used in this subsection, the term "uncollected overissuance" means the amount of an overissuance of benefits, as determined under subsection (b)(1) of this section, that has not been recovered pursuant to subsection (b)(1) of this section.
(2) A State agency may determine on a periodic basis, from information supplied pursuant to section 49b (b) of title 29, whether an individual receiving compensation under the State's unemployment compensation law (including amounts payable pursuant to an agreement under a Federal unemployment compensation law) owes an uncollected overissuance.
(3) A State agency may recover an uncollected overissuance—
(A) by—
(i) entering into an agreement with an individual described in paragraph (2) under which specified amounts will be withheld from unemployment compensation otherwise payable to the individual; and
(d) Recovery of overissuance of benefits
The amount of an overissuance of benefits, as determined under subsection (b)(1) of this section, that has not been recovered pursuant to such subsection may be recovered from Federal pay (including salaries and pensions) as authorized by section 5514 of title 5 or a Federal income tax refund as authorized by section 3720A of title 31.

Associate Director of Admissions
Transfer Coordinator
Admission Communications Coordinator
Westminster College operates on a rolling admissions policy, which means the sooner we receive your application, the sooner we can begin processing it. We encourage you to submit your application to the Admissions Office no later than fifteen days prior to the beginning of classes for the semester you are wishing to attend classes.
We have aimed to create a very "user friendly" and accommodating transfer process. But, the transfer process involves several different departments, so the sooner you begin the process the better your opportunity to have all of your questions answered in a timely manner.
Our decision is based primarily on your performance in college, but we are also interested in your talents, hobbies, and involvement in extracurricular activities. A minimum 2.0 (on a 4.0 grading scale) cumulative college grade point average is required. We also look at high school performance and standardized test scores (SAT or ACT).
Click here to view our course and credit evaluations. Please note the listed credit evaluations are subject to change. You will receive an official evaluation from the Westminster College Registrar's office after you have been accepted.
After we receive a complete list of courses taken and courses in progress, our registrar will review your records and determine which credits will transfer. In order for a credit to transfer the following must occur:
Upon your transfer to Westminster, you will need to fulfill the following credit requirements:
More than 80% of our students receive some type of Financial Aid. Aid may come from one or more of the following: scholarships, grants, work-study or loans. To be considered for financial Aid:
As you prepare your application materials please keep the following in mind:
We have a rolling admissions policy, which means the sooner you apply the sooner you will hear of your status.
Yes, our recommended cumulative college grade point average for transfers is 2.0. We will also look at your high school grade point average and your SAT and/or ACT scores.
The Registrar's Office will determine what college classes will transfer to Westminster. They take into consideration: where the courses were taken (if it is an accredited college/university), what the class is (does it compare to a class that is offered at Westminster), and what grade was received (it must be a "C-" or better). If all of those criteria are met, than in most cases the class will transfer.
As a transfer student you are required to take at least 64 credits on Westminster's campus, 16 of which are required within the major.
The same Merit Based scholarships that are available for students applying right out of high school are available for transfer students. Scholarships ranging from $6,000 to $10,000 may be awarded based on both high school and post-secondary academic performance. However, Financial Aid will not be awarded without the receipt of your OFFICIAL college/university transcript. Any questions concerning Financial Aid can be directed to the Financial Aid Office.
You can register for classes after being accepted as a transfer student and paying a $200 non-refundable deposit to the Admissions Office. A special time period is set aside for transfer registration during the summer (prior to the start of the Fall Semester) and the month of January (prior to the start of the Spring Semester).
Yes, Westminster College is a residential campus and housing is available for transfer students. Housing information will be sent to you directly, after we have received your $200 non-refundable deposit. Any questions concerning housing can be directed to our Student Affairs Office.
It is important to make sure you have all of your application materials into the Admissions Office in a timely manner. We want to help you through the transfer process and make the transition to Westminster College an easy one. Please feel free to contact us in the Westminster Admissions Office if you have any questions

Comments about Pelican 1300 Case:
When it's going to be too wet to trust a drybag, or my equipment is going to be jostled around and abused, there's nothing that does the job like a Pelican Case. I own several sizes, and the Pelican 1300 is perfect for a digital SLR and lens or flash, as well as various other types of electronic equipment. The pick-and-pluck foam makes it very easy to customize the padding for your particular application.
Drop it, sit on it, drag it through the mud, it really doesn't matter. These things are absolutely bombproof. My Pelican 1300 has stood up to every torture I've thrown at it. The latches are extremely sturdy, and these are suitable for long-term storage in damp environments if you throw a desiccant packet into the case.
They're slightly awkward to put inside a pack, due to the rectangular shape, but I've lashed mine to the deck of my sea kayak with great results.

3 NEW VIDEOS on Space Debris, Space Weather and Space Data Exploitation Publié le: 10/07/2012, Dernière mise à jour: 30/07/2012
"Let's embrace Space" VIDEOS 2012
Space Debris
For over 50 years, humans have been actively launching spacecraft and satellites into space, often without considering what happens to the remaining debris or how to remove inactive satellites from the crowded orbits. This video takes a look at the issue and the measures put in place by the European Commission to address the challenge.
Space Weather
Although the Sun is 150 million kilometres away from us, any activity on its sur face can not only impact life of astronauts operating in the International Space Station, but can also directly affect and disturb our daily lives on Earth – satellites, infrastructures and normal functioning of telecommunications. This video highlights the work of the European Commission to ensure space experts and researchers will be able to predict and mitigate the potential destructive impact of space weather on our lives.
Space Data Exploitation
Satellites collect a vast amount of data from space. Often collected in raw status, the datasets need to be processed in order to become valuable and meaningful information to the scientific community at large. The video shows the commitment of the EU to support a wide range of space research projects funded under the EU FP7 in order to ensure the exhaustive exploitation of valuable space data.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
While not yet mandated in any kind of law, and two weeks before the legislature begins their regular session, lawmakers are telling colleges throughout the state that they not only need to find more money to take out of their budgets for the present school year, but must also find even larger amounts to cut from this year's total in the 2010-2011 school sessions.
Last week, the Higher Education Appropriations Subcommittee of the Legislature held a pre-session meeting to discuss the impacts of those cuts to the various schools; the College of Eastern Utah is among them.
"We were to provide some general information about our mission and then explain how the cuts impact our ability to perform our mission," said interim CEU president Mike King, in an e-mail to college personnel last week. "The subcommittee tasked each institution with preparing a report to bring to them next Wednesday, indicating how we will deal with the issue."
Each school made a presentation, including CEU. King's PowerPoint presentation included a history of the school, how it serves the area and the state, kinds of educational opportunities the school provides, a breakdown of student numbers including the diversity of the school and the enrollment numbers for the fall 2009 semester, the economic impact of the college on the local area, what cuts have already been made and how additional cuts could affect the students and the community.
King described in detail how the school has already reduced a total of 40 positions since 2008, with professional and classified ranks losing 33 positions. Executive staff was reduced by three positions and faculty cuts took out four positions. These cuts add up to 15 percent of 2008 staffing levels.
He pointed out that, in the past, the school has been able to find money in funds that didn't impact personnel positions as much as they could have, but that the additional cuts will almost certainly have to come entirely from reducing personnel numbers.
"A 4 percent base budget reduction ($257,000) mid-year would be devastating," he told the committee.
King said that the report they will submit by Wednesday will be based on two charges the committee gave them. First, they must address a one-time cut of 4 percent of the school's base budget the present year. King says this amounts to a $611,000 cut as compared to the $354,000 cut that was already imposed by the governor. That makes the total an additional $257,000 more to cut.
"We have been able to find the $354,000 primarily through vacant positions, severances, and reductions in force," stated King, in the correspondence. "Coming up with the additional $257,000 will require us to dig deeper."
Second, the committee reminded the college administrators of the ongoing cut of 5 percent to their base budgets for next year. That would mean a reduction of $764,000 on top of the $1.5 million the college is already striving to reach.
"Between now and next Wednesday, we'll be preparing a very general list of cuts, totaling the $764,000 for next year," stated King. "We hope the legislature is just posturing, and that next year's budget will be more closely aligned with what the governor has proposed. We sincerely hope that the legislature will keep cuts to a minimum."
During the presentation, King told legislators that a $1.5 million cut in 2011 would certainly eliminate more positions, possibly eliminate more programs that have been discontinued, reduce the scholarship budget and increase tuition, a step that many in the area fear, considering how hard it is for many students to pay for school as it is.
The actual revenue numbers the legislature will have to deal with will be released at the end of February.
Then, the lawmakers will have a better understanding of whether additional cuts will actually be needed. King stated that, until that time, the college will submit a plan for the additional 5 percent cut that they have been directed to submit.
Simply put, the college's overall budget has decreased dramatically over the past two years. The school has gone from a $19 million dollar budget at the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year, to what appears will be a $15.2 million dollar budget next year.
As for the merger, King said, during a Thursday interview, that the move is independent of the budget process, because the school is not part of Utah State University until the legislature makes it so. And, money for CEU, in that situation, will also be appropriated accordingly. He said that after the merger happens, the local campus budget will be a "single line item" within the Utah State budget when it comes to appropriations.
King stated that those in charge of the college are doing everything in their power to minimize impacts to personnel and programs.
"However, additional cuts will no doubt have impacts on both," concluded King.

A little over a year since the Fire/Quaker Oats partnership began and just days before the Chicago Fire challenge the New England Revolution on Opening Night at Toyota Park (Saturday, March 9 at 6:30 p.m. CT live on NBC Sports Network), we stopped by the Quaker Oats headquarters to check-in and see how the club's iconic jersey partner was preparing for the 2013 season.
From the looks of things, the partnership is really starting to make an impact...
A quiet hangs over Toyota Park. A grey monochrome colors the morning sky and a slushy snow blankets the ground. It's winter in Chicago.
Behind the brick façade and deep in the bowels, a solitary figure works diligently to make-ready one of Toyota Park's most renowned features – the field. It's been 99 days since the Toyota Park pitch saw action and Toyota Park Turf Manager Eric Adkins has #cf97withdrawals.
Only 30 days until Opening Night at Toyota Park.
Don't worry, Eric and his crew will have the pitch ready.
While the Chicago Fire is one team, the squad currently consists of 27 players each with a different origin, starting point and story of how they arrived at Toyota Park as a Fire player. As part of the club's partnership with Quaker Oats, we present Journeys – an in-depth look at each player's path to Chicago.
In the second part of the first edition we sat down with Ghanaian midfielder Patrick Nyarko to better understand the shape of his journey as an academics-focused part-time soccer player on the gravel fields of Kumasi, Ghana to a MAC Hermann finalist at Virginia Tech and his eventual transformation into one of the most dangerous attackers in Major League Soccer.
Campaigns, trash talk and the truth.
During the race for the 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year award there has been a lot of chatter. Who ranks where and what is valued more from fresh-faced rookies - Goals? Assists? Saves? Defense?
Adapting to MLS can be a challenge. It's a long season fraught with ups and downs, the speed of play is accelerated, often as a central defender you are up against a striker with class skills and experience to match.
For Chicago Fire defender Austin Berry it isn't about the rankings or the hoopla, it's about putting in the work needed to help the team.
Berry has made his way onto a Life cereal box.
While there has been PR to support the rookie defender who has started 27 matches for a 17-11-5 Fire team that has only allowed 40 goals in 2012.
The real truth of the matter has been Berry's play. Through his efforts alone, Berry has cut through the clutter, letting his game speak for itself…
Austin #Berry4ROY: THE TRUTH
While the Chicago Fire is one team, the squad currently consists of 27 players each with a different origin, starting point and story of how they arrived at Toyota Park as a Fire player.
As part of the club's partnership with Quaker Oats, we present Journeys – an in-depth look at each player's path to Chicago.
In the first edition we sit down with Ghanaian midfielder Patrick Nyarko to better understand the shape of his journey as an academics-focused part-time soccer player on the gravel fields of Kumasi, Ghana to a MAC Hermann finalist at Virginia Tech and his eventual transformation into one of the most dangerous attackers in Major League Soccer.
Stay tuned for part 2 of Quaker Journeys with Patrick Nyarko next week.
Bring the Fire, the club's 2013 season ticket renewal program, isn't all fun and games as you might expect.
As you know, the club has been sending a group of spirited individuals to houses in the Chicagoland area and surprising each season ticket holder with a gift for renewing their tickets prior to November 1.
Well, despite the happy faces on Fire supporters everywhere, we've been busted.
In coming up with the idea, we may or may not have borrowed the name of our merry gang from a certain Publishers Clearing House group that rhymes with "Size Parole".
Seeing as we are law abiding citizens here at the Chicago Fire, and we didn't want to let down all those supporters who are hurriedly rushing to renew their season tickets so that the team with Sparky, balloons and big checks would potentially come to their house we have decided to rename the "Eyes Condole" as the, wait for it…
We may or may not have had to overdub a few of the videos to appease some fancy lawyers in New York.
You never know, maybe the RADICAL REWARD FOR RENEWING YOUR CHICAGO FIRE SEASON TICKETS PATROL will show up to your house next.
With the 15th Anniversary of the Chicago Fire coming up on Wednesday (the match) and Monday (the date proper) the Fire has collaborated with Bumpy Pitch to create a Chicago Fire themed shirt that represents the history of soccer and Chicago in a unique way. The Municipal Device shirt will retail for $30 in the Chicago Fire Fan shop and online at www.bumpypitch.com beginning Tuesday, October 2 with $5 benefitting the Chicago Fire Foundation
While the 1871 at the bottom of the shirt is an obvious nod to the Great Chicago Fire (and, well, the club's name) not as much is known about the Y-shaped municipal device, an often overlooked and mostly forgotten piece of Chicago Civic Pride. Below I wax poetic about the municipal device and what this t-shirt means to me.
The Chicago River weaves along the wings of the urban landscape, dodging the looming steel towers and keeping composure as it splits to hug both sides of Goose Island. The deft waters feint past defending bridges, quickening pace when the terrain declines. The North Branch does not hesitate as it approaches the Loop, diving headfirst into the westward Main Stem of the river, deflecting south, flowing as one.\
In commemoration of the iconic river intersection, Chicago created the municipal device - a Y-shaped symbol representing the three branches converging at Wolf Point. The mark, embedded throughout the architecture of Chicago, is subtly engrained throughout the city – on the cornerstones of civic buildings, the undersides of bridges and etched into the consciousness along Navy Pier. Although it began as a simple show of two waterways uniting, its meaning has transformed in today's Chicago.
Over the last 200 years, waves of immigrants have splashed upon the shores inhabiting Chicago's many neighborhoods. On summer evenings, communities spread cultural pride as street festivals fill the lakefront air. Just as two branches of the river come from wide expanses to join together, the citizens of this city, representing four stars and one badge, become one under the Chicago name.
Below, the Fire coaching staff, captain Logan Pause and forward Chris Rolfe model the new t-shirts in front of the "Tradition. Honor. Passion." taglines in the Fire locker room...
Here at Always on the Inside we get a ton of fan mail (feel free to send some over! – 7000 S. Harlem Ave. Bridgeview, IL 60455) with all sorts of content ideas and things we can do to improve our fair blog. We recently got this piece of fan mail from a Sandy Hannan in Denver, CO:
Dear Jeff,
Love the blog. Long time listener and a huge fan of your work.
Thanks for always keeping us informed about everything happening in Chicago. I think of everyone who writes for Always on the Inside, you provide the most insight and really help us get to know the team.
I'm a big music fan and would love to know more about the players musical interest. What kind of stuff are they listening to right now? Can I find the tunes anywhere?
Hope all is well. I'll send some snacks your way soon.
Wait? Was that a letter from my Mom? Since Jeff is busy with some #Fire15 stuff, I thought I'd take a crack at putting together a music series. Each week Always on the Inside is going to focus on three tracks/albums that a #cf97 player is listening to currently. Put the tracks between your headphones with Muve Music, if you're so inclined. For the first addition we caught up with aspiring rap lyricist and resident beat-bopper Tony Walls. Without further ado, here's Between the Headphones:
Always on the Inside: What type of stuff are you listening to right now?
Tony Walls: The first album is "Self Made Vol. 2" which is by Maybach Music Group which is headed by Rick Ross and two of his most popular artists -Meek Mill and Wale.
Overall, it's up tempo with really nice beats, something to bob your head to and stuff that you can play not only before training but also before games. They're really clever and good with wordplay.
Another track is "Take Care" by Drake, even though it is older. I would have to say Drake is one of my favorite artists right now. He does a really good job, I know it sounds corny, painting a mental picture and an image in your head when he's rapping. A lot of the situations he talks about, I can relate to actually. Not just with women, but with growing up.
He does a really good job of talking about his childhood and struggles he went through with his parents. I can relate to his music and he can sing. He has a really good voice.
I'm also listening to Meek Mill, who I mentioned before. His mixtape is called "Dreamchasers 2". I like Meek Mill because, similar to Drake, he raps about a lot of day-to-day situations. He's all about motivation and staying focused toward the goals you want reach in life, which is important to me and relevant to where I am right now.
That mixtape is one of my favorites right now. The lyrics are easy to listen to and he has a smooth flow.
AOTI: What do you get out of listening to music, especially these albums?
It's not necessarily to escape reality. It's something to get you amped up, pumped up before a game. I think that's why a lot of people listen to music. You do get lost in the music. A lot of music paints a mental image.
AOTI: What did you listen to growing up?
TW: I've always been into rap music. My neighbors, who were like older brothers to me got me listening to it. I've always liked Biggie, he's one of my favorite artists. I've always been surrounded by it growing up. I'm not close-minded to other music, though.
I listen to a little bit of Gavin DeGraw, a little bit of Lauryn Hill. My little sister is really musically diverse so she got me on a little Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber. So I try to stay open-minded, but rap is my first choice for sure.
Soccer and fashion have long been intertwined.

WEST CARTHAGE West Carthage universal prekindergarten students may be sent to Black River Elementary next year.
Carthage Central School District Superintendent Peter J. Turner asked Board of Education members at Mondays meeting at Carthage High School if they were interested in having the students sent to Black River because of space constraints.
The board will wait for the community to respond before making any decisions.
West Carthage is interested because they need the space, Mr. Turner said. Black River is interested because they have the space.
The programs at Carthage, West Carthage and Black River have 18 students each, which is the maximum space allotted per pre-K program at the district.
Mr. Turner said many parents walk their children to the pre-K program at Carthage Elementary, but that is not the case at West Carthage. Busing the students still would be free.
John Gibbons doesnt think it would be a big challenge to bus students in the West Carthage zone to Black River Elementary, Mr. Turner said, referring to the districts transportation director.
However, he said Mr. Gibbons was concerned about how much time it would take to transport students from farther locations, especially because the bus experience likely would be the first for young pre-K students. It would be especially problematic for those in the Carthage Elementary zone, some of whom can live as far away as Natural Bridge.
Board member Mary Louise Hunt suggested allowing pre-K students living in Carthage to continue to go to the local elementary school while those on Fort Drum get bused to Black River.
It would still be OK for those who walk their children there, she said. I think its a solution to a difficult problem.
She emphasized that the pre-K program is a free service that is based on a lottery system.
Assistant Superintendent Andrea K. Miller said the program is very popular and has a waiting list. However, due to the people constantly moving on post, nearly all on the waiting list eventually get in.
Board member Kent D. Burto agreed that community members should have the opportunity to voice questions or concerns about changes before a decision is made. However, because parents are signing up their children now for next years program, he felt timing is important.
I do think we need to make a decision sooner than later, Mr. Burto said.

For a recent USO Entertainment tour, the USO called upon an actor, producer and veteran USO Entertainer to help guide a new USO Entertainment tour celebrity on a whirlwind tour of three Middle East countries in seven days. Kal Penn ("Harold and Kumar," "House," "The Big Brain Theory") and actress/activist Kate Walsh ("Private Practice," "Grey's Anatomy") embarked on the trip May 22 to visit, uplift and spend time with hundreds of soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and reservists. The trip marked the third USO tour for Penn.
Penn said prior to the trip: "[When] you get there, you realize that [your presence] does make a difference. These are men and women who are literally sacrificing everything. If all I have to do is give a couple of days and hang out with them, what an incredible opportunity to spend time with some of the bravest, smartest people you'll ever meet." (For more images, visit our Flickr page.)
Penn and Walsh pose for photographs with troops as part of a weeklong USO tour to the Middle East on May 22.
Walsh listens to a military briefing during a USO tour stop in the Middle East on May 22. This is Walsh's first USO tour. Walsh said: "I feel honored to volunteer with the USO and spend time with our nation's men and women in uniform. This trip means a lot to me personally. My father was a decorated Korean War veteran and I take great pride in his service."
Penn takes time out to pose for photographs, sign autographs and mingle with troops as part of a USO tour stop in the Middle East. Penn said: "Touring with the USO is one of the most rewarding experiences of all time. Nothing quite compares to the unique places you get to see, the personal stories you hear, the great things you learn or the lifetime memories you walk away with."
U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Roger Kemp of Decatur, Mich., assists Walsh with a fire helmet during one of many USO tour stops in the Middle East on May 22. Walsh said upon returning from the tour: "The level of commitment and service and discipline I witnessed was very humbling and very inspiring."
Penn and Walsh hang out with Desert Snowman during a USO tour stop in the Middle East. "When I first started volunteering five years ago, I've witnessed first-hand how the USO is always by the side of our troops stationed around the world and I'm thrilled to be a part of something that special," Penn said.
Penn and Walsh pose holding pencil and graphite drawings of themselves produced by Senior Airman Andrew Castillo, U.S. Air Force, of Northampton, Mass., during their tour.

City confirms Yakima Gang Sgt. resigns, investigation pending
YAKIMA, Wash. -- A sergeant with the Yakima Police Department is no longer on the force after being the subject of repeated internal investigations.
KIMA learned Erik Hildebrand resigned from YPD on Friday. He stepped down before the city decided on any punishment for its latest investigation. We might never know what he was accused of this time.
Erik Hildebrand's resignation ends his more than 15- year career with the Yakima Police Department.
The city opened two internal investigations into his behavior this year. A ruling on one of them was imminent when the former gang unit sergeant turned in his badge for good.
"Prior to the interim city manager actually reaching a decision in regards to the internal investigation the city had received the resignation from Sgt. Hildebrand, Former Sgt. Hildebrand," said Randy Beehler with the city of Yakima.
Seven earlier investigations looked into Hildebrand's actions over a decade. They covered allegations he improperly tased an inmate to having sex with a woman in custody. Last year, investigators checked a complaint that Hildebrand took an 18-year-old girl to a hotel room, got her drunk and slept with her
That was never proven. Investigators found Hildebrand broke rules in four of the seven investigations.
We wanted to know what happens to the two open investigations.
"They fall into the category of being incomplete," said Beehler.
That means the city is no longer looking into them. KIMA put in a request for them. The city is looking into its legal obligations, but we might never get them because he's now a former employee.
We called Hildebrand to get his side. He has not responded. However, the Yakima Police Union calls his actions troubling.
"It's very unfortunate we have public trust and we are mandated to serve the public," said Gary Jones with the YPPA.
For now, Hildebrand still has his credentials that could give him a chance to be hired in another city
It will be up to the state to decide if he keeps them. As for his retirement money, he'll keep what he contributed.
YPD said it's working to fill his position with the gang unit. It will be an officer already in the department.
