Deputy pleads no contest, will retire
ST. ALBANS A Burlington deputy police chief who was charged with drunken driving has agreed to plead no contest to a reduced charge of negligent operation and will leave the police department.
Andi Higbee of Colchester is expected to be fined $500 when he is sentenced in April, according to a plea agreement.
Police Chief Mike Schirling said that Higbee plans to retire. The agreement allows him to resume driving. He also will be expected to undergo alcohol screening.
The plea averted the second day of a hearing to consider a defense request to dismiss the DUI charge.
I do feel it was an appropriate resolution, said Vermont Superior Court Judge Marty Maley.
Higbee was placed on paid administrative leave following his arrest in July in Sheldon. He returned to work in September and was assigned to non-law enforcement duties until his case was resolved.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Both major candidates for Vermont governor have places they dont want to go for...

Re: Happy Halloween!
Hooray, just got off work and back from the store. Bought some pretty top-tier candies to pass out. Peanut Butter Snickers, Reese's Cups and Kit Kats. I kind of used the "favorite candy" thread as reference lol. This is my first year living at my apartment so I'm not sure how many trick or treaters will come to the door in this neighborhood. Its a win win for me, plenty of candy left over for me if no one shows up lol.
Re: Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween everyone!
I just spent 3 hours at the front door handing out candy to maybe what amounted to about 70 or 80 trick-or-treaters.
Was nice to see all the costumes, decorations, and the street all lit up.
Re: Happy Halloween!
Wow thats alot...
Dont make the teeth rot limit them... My lil nephew got like about 1 gal amount of candy he is only allowed to eat 4 pieces a day...
He already messed up his teeth from last year so now his adult teeth started appearing so now we have to limit him or his
friends will start calling him gap.

Continue Reading Enforcement Update – Bad Actors Continue to Pay
Physicians Begin Seeing Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) Letters
We've known for a while now that the Medicare Recovery Audit Contractors ("RAC") program would eventually start impacting physicians and other Part B providers. That time has now come as medical practices and physicians are beginning to receive both audit and repayment letters from RACs. So, if you're still not familiar with this aggressive audit and recovery program, you are well-advised to begin preparing for the possibility that some of your claims may be reviewed by a RAC.
Continue Reading Physicians Begin Seeing Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) Letters
Stuff You Didn't Know About Medicare: Physician Signature Requirements
With the rollout of the Recovery Audit Contractor (RAC) audit program in full swing, physicians should be paying close attention to their medical record documentation efforts. One of the Medicare documentation requirement that many physicians don't fully appreciate is the requirement that all medical records be signed by the performing physician. Specifically, Medicare requires that medical records include a "legible identifier" for all services provided/ordered. According to the Medicare medical review documentation standards, the legible identifier must be in the form of a hand written or electronic signature (stamp signatures are not acceptable). The medical review documentation standards can be found at Section 188.8.131.52 of the Medicare Program Integrity Manual.
Altering Medical Records: What Not To Do When Being Audited By Medicare
Document, document, document! is the cry of health care attorneys and consultants across the Country when asked what physicians can do to protect their practices from fraud and abuse liability. But what happens if you receive a Medicare audit request and you find out that your documentation isn't so good or even non-existent? Many physicians when faced with this prospect are tempted to recreate or alter medical record documentation. Beware, this is probably the worst thing you can do in this situation.
Poor or even non-existent medical record documentation is not necessarily an indicator of fraud or abuse. In many cases it is simply an indication of the need for documentation and coding education or better record keeping protocols. In these circumstances, a physician may have to return some money to Medicare or other payors but will generally not be looking at civil or criminal penalties. Recreating, altering or falsifying records, however can quickly turn a simple overpayment situation into a criminal case. That's what has apparently happened to a podiatrist in New Jersey according to a recent article in the New Brunswick Home News Journal. According to the article, in response to a request by a Medicare contractor for 25 medical records, the podiatrist re-wrote the records to enhance the Medicare claims under review and was charged with obstructing a federal audit. The potential penalty for this: a maximum of five years in prison and as much as a $250,000 fine.
So what can you do if your documentation falls short in the face of an audit submission? If the documentation exists but is simply illegible, you might include a typed transcription along with the original records. If pieces of information are missing from a note, you can include an annotation explaining why the information is missing, but any such annotation should be signed and dated when made. Back-dating is major a no-no. Finally, when records are missing altogether, a letter to the auditor explaining the situation and offering to refund the amounts received may make sense. In any of these circumstances, however, it is highly advisable to immediately consult with a knowledgeable health care attorney before doing anything.

The consumer-direct insurer focuses on selling and servicing insurance policies from a multi-state network of call centers. Its marketing campaign (including radio, television, and print advertising) targets drivers for whom the minimum legal level of insurance may be the best bet due to financial strain or dings on their driving records.

Dope, Jobs, Homeless by Obie Trice
Shitted on, ran from it (I did it all)
I sold dope, watch fiends crave

Watch 'em watching me put the stash in my sock (Hey! Yo!
Walkie-talk to niggas from the corner when the Feds 'bout to
Pumped up blocks some of the winter
Kerosene heaters by feet, takin

Four days no Z's, from the first

End of the month to excited to get sleep, I bagged up
Aggravated by picky motherfuckers who don't know which rock to choose
(Picky man)
Took outta town trips, two seconds in a son of a bitch
run in talking shit (who dis?)
I know about dope, lost my man Lou to the
Pumping over there off of DeSoto

Last Wednesday afternoon, social media giant Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) reported its fiscal first-quarter results. It was another strong report from the name, which has a recent history of earnings blowouts. The Facebook story continues to be one of strong growth, and today, I'll explain why the bull case remains.
First quarter results:
In one of my more recent Facebook articles, I discussed the series of large beats Facebook had in its most recent three quarters. Facebook has been handily beating both revenue and earnings estimates, and that continued with Q1. Facebook reported Q1 revenues of $2.50 billion, an increase of nearly 72%. This number handily beat analyst estimates for $2.36 billion, or about 62% growth. On the bottom line, Facebook reported non-GAAP earnings of $0.34, which beat by a dime. Facebook's bottom line was so strong that GAAP earnings of $0.25 still beat analyst estimates (which of course were for non-GAAP EPS).
This was the fourth straight large beat, and Facebook's margins also improved nicely. GAAP operating margins jumped from 26% to 43%, and non-GAAP operating margins rose from 39% to 55%. GAAP net income was up 193% in the period, with non-GAAP net income up 184%. These growth numbers are quite impressive.
Facebook reported the following numbers for its user base, taken directly from the press release linked in my opening:
- Daily active users ("DAUs") were 802 million on average for March 2014, an increase of 21% year-over-year.
- Mobile DAUs were 609 million on average for March 2014, an increase of 43% year-over-year.
- Monthly active users ("MAUs") were 1.28 billion as of March 31, 2014, an increase of 15% year-over-year.
- Mobile MAUs were 1.01 billion as of March 31, 2014, an increase of 34% year-over-year.
Estimates on the rise:
One thing investors like to see is rising analyst estimates. This shows that a company is performing better than expected. If the process continues over a long period of time, it shows that the company's growth story is concrete. That is certainly what we have with Facebook, especially after another beat. The table below shows a history of Facebook's 2014 estimates. EPS are non-GAAP.
In about a year, Facebook's 2014 revenue estimate average has jumped by nearly $3.5 billion, or more than 40%. The EPS average is up over 80%, showing the progress Facebook has made monetizing mobile. While the social media space doesn't appear very profitable to many, Facebook could top $3 billion in GAAP profits this year if the company continues to beat big. Additionally, Facebook's 2015 estimates are on the rise, as you can see below.
In just about three months, the 2015 revenue average is up by more than $2 billion, with EPS up even more on a percentage basis. We are only about a third of the way through 2014 at this point. If this trajectory continues, Facebook could approach $20 billion in revenues next year. The highest estimate on the street currently calls for $18.75 billion, so $20 billion isn't that outrageous.
Balance sheet strength:
One of the best things about Facebook is the company's balance sheet, which is in great condition. During the first quarter of 2014, the company produced free cash flow of $922 million. Cash and marketable securities totaled $12.63 billion, up from $11.45 billion at the end of 2013.
Facebook has no outstanding debt right now, and a current ratio that is over 13.50. The liabilities to assets ratio is around 12% right now. Facebook has a lot of financial flexibility, and we know that it is in the process of using some of it. The company will use a bit of cash for the WhatsApp and Oculus purchases, as well as a large chunk of stock. When you have a strong balance sheet, it helps you to grow, and Facebook is doing just that.
How does the valuation feel?
When it comes to the peer comparison group, Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) and LinkedIn (NYSE:LNKD) are the two names most discussed. These two names will report their earnings this week. I want to also throw Google, Class C (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Class A (NASDAQ:GOOGL) into the comparison group to show what a more established name looks like, in terms of growth and valuation. In the first table, I've compared these four names in terms of 2014 and 2015 growth estimates, which can be accessed from the analyst estimate link earlier in this article. Remember, all of the EPS and P/E numbers in this section will be based on non-GAAP earnings. Twitter is expected to swing to a non-GAAP profit this year, which is why there is no true EPS growth rate for 2014. Here's the growth table.
Facebook offers the second best growth package for this year and next, especially when you consider the decline in LinkedIn's EPS for 2014. Twitter is just becoming profitable, so Twitter's EPS growth numbers are a bit wacky for now. Even though growth is expected to slow down in 2015 for the three main social media names, there is still a ton of expected growth. Don't forget, as I showed above, analyst estimates are continually on the rise, so growth percentages could rise even further. In the next table, I'll look at price to sales and price to earnings numbers for the two years. The Facebook P/S numbers do not include the two pending purchases, which would add about 10% to the P/S numbers at current prices. Google's P/S value is based off the Class A market cap.
In terms of P/E, Facebook is the cheapest of the three social media names, and trades for about twice that of Google. Considering how Facebook has a lot more growth potential going forward than Google, that would seem to make sense. In terms of P/S, Facebook trades in between LinkedIn and Twitter. You can understand why Twitter gets such a high P/S, because it has the most expected revenue growth this year and next. It also seems logical that Facebook would trade at a premium to LinkedIn, given Facebook has more expected growth over the two-year period.
So what's a fair valuation for Facebook? Well, the median price target on the street now is $80. I think that price is a little lofty at the moment, but I still think Facebook is undervalued a bit. Right now, I think Facebook should be worth about 30 times 2015 non-GAAP EPS. At the moment, the current analyst average is $1.82, which implies a price of $54.60. However, estimates continue to rise as Facebook continues to beat, so I would not be surprised if Facebook ends up with somewhere between $2.00 and $2.50 next year. Taking the midpoint of that, I get $2.25 times 30, or $67.50 for Facebook, with shares currently about $10 below that, so that is about 17% upside.
Technical support coming:
For those wanting to buy Facebook on a pullback, one has certainly come. Facebook shares are about $15 off their 52-week high, and are about $2 above their early-April low. Technical support is building at current levels. As you can see in the chart below, the stock is close to its lower bollinger band, which has been a level of support in the past. Additionally, the 200-day moving average is currently around $52 and rising. Yes, there could be a few more dollars of short-term downside, but the technicals show a few items of support that could be positive for the stock. I referenced the 200-day in my most recent article, at which point the moving average was around $50. It has risen about $2 since then.
(Source: Yahoo! Finance)
Final thoughts:
Facebook announced another strong quarter, but the stock hasn't reaped the rewards yet thanks to the market selloff last Friday. Facebook continues to beat analyst estimates, sending future estimates higher and higher. The monetization process of mobile continues, and Facebook has proven it is the number one social media name for profitability. Technical indicators show the stock is close to bottoming in the low to mid $50s, and I think that a continued pullback represents an opportunity for investors. While I'm not calling for Facebook to be an $80 stock just yet like most analysts, I do think the name can approach $70 again. Investors should look to accumulate on these pullbacks.

I hope in writing this my thoughts will crystalize.Let us say worst case is that they need to reserve another 50 million (for total of 70 million), thereby giving EPS most of what it wants because negotiations are very unfavorable.Since they would be paying out over a number of years, perhaps they might need to raise 40 million, and use cash flow and accrued interest on the 40 million to make up the extra 10 million.Would investors be willing to pay $15.00 a share? If they did, then dilution is 2.7 mil shares (i.e.,40/15). That would leave continuing eps for 2011 at (4.6/7.3) x 2.80 = $1.76, but would also leave company shielded from Federal taxes for a long time, so $15 seems low. Diluted eps excluding taxes for 2011 would be $2.44If investors were willing to pay $17.50 when they tried to raise the 40 million in equity, then dilution is 2.3 mil shares, and diluted eps is (4.6/6.9) x 2.80 = $1.87 (2.60 excluding taxes) so it would seem that investors should pay at least $17.50.Of course to attract new investors you do have to give them a great deal, and who knows what eps projection for 2012 is.I am convincing myself I don't need to rush to sell. Questions or comments welcomed.
Well(no pun intended), I went to the EPA site and looked up the Superfund site in Pennsauken. This has been a concern since the 1970's. When you get to the home page for this site (link below), there are also links to pages with engineering documents, etc. Take a look at just a couple of the drawings and you can see how these take on lives of their own.Home pagehttp://www.epa.gov/region02/superfund/npl/puchack/index.htmlSample drawing - 5 mb pdf filehttp://www.epa.gov/region02/superfund/npl/puchack/pdf/Figure%204-04c.pdfEPA added the Puchack Well Field Superfund site in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey to the National Priorities List on March 6, 1998 because the site's ground water was found to be contaminated with hexavalent chromium. The 450,000-square-foot Superfund site, located in Camden County, contains six public water supply wells that are no longer in use. Contaminants were first discovered in well water in 1970 and included chromium and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are potentially harmful chemicals that can evaporate easily in the air. All of the Puchack Well Field's ground water wells have been shut down and residents have been connected to a municipal water supply, thereby reducing the public's potential exposure to contamination. Sampling indicates that no currently operating municipal wells are being impacted by the chromium ground water plume. EPA's cleanup has targeted both the contaminated ground water and the source areas that have contributed to the pollution.
I just looked at SLI for the first time, and for only a matter of minutes, so I could have this wrong. The company took a $20 million charge against earnings for the remediation and created a long-term liability. However, little cash was paid out (enviromental liability stands at $18.5 million). In your worst case, I doubt the company could raise ~$70 million of cash without massive dilution (more than 100%). The stock is very illiquid and the total market cap is only ~$84 million.
I guess that's why I showed my calculations.
It would be nice to think that a secondary offering could be done at over $20 per share. After all, they just repurchased $20 million of their stock at around $14.50 per share a year and a half ago. Still, your numbers make me feel a little more comfortable with the possibility of them needing another $40 million or so for EPA troubles. PR on share buyback>>>>>>>>>10/14/2010SL Industries, Inc.

STAR STRUCK . . . Movie stars aren't the only celebrities descending on Maui in the next few weeks. We've also got world-famous winemakers and chefs circling into orbit.
For starters, at the Oceanfront Gala Sunday evening at Four Seasons Resort Maui in Wailea, Makana will perform as stellar winemakers like Laurent Martelet of Domaine de Cherisey wing in from France to pair wines with rock-star farmers such as William Jacinto of the certified-organic Beef 'n Blooms.
"I just love performing at Four Seasons Wailea and doing a wine event is just the best," says Makana. "What can I say, I'll seize the moment."
There will be 40 exclusive wines and 10 chef and farmers booths overlooking the beach – all part of the Vintage Wine Weekend. Call 874-8000.
The A-list of the wine and food world will also appear at the 32nd annual Kapalua Wine & Food Festival June 6 to 9 at The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua.
Guest chefs include San Francisco superstars Gary Danko and Nancy Oakes, both James Beard Award winners for "Best Chef in California." Obviously, not at the same time. And that's the tip of the iceberg.
"They are two of the best chefs on the planet, heroes and icons in our industry," says Host and Master Sommelier Michael Jordan (not the former basketball great, but a star in his own right).
Oakes will impress participants with a cooking demo on Saturday, June 8, with avocado risotto and summer truffles, beef takati and Big Island hearts of palm, and just-baked shortcake; and Danko will dazzle with his demo Sunday, June 9 with a dungeness crab salad, lemon-pepper duck breast, and creme-fraiche cheesecake.
Then both will cook at a winemaker dinner at Pineapple Grill June 8. Chef Lyndon Honda will consult as Chef Isaac Bancaco has left to soon head up Ka'ana Kitchen at Andaz Maui at Wailea resort when it opens this summer. Speaking of Andaz, Morimoto's there will open sometime after the hotel does. That's because Masaharu Morimoto, renowned Japanese chef and star of Food Network's "Iron Chef America," is also working on opening a restaurant on the Las Vegas Strip at The Mirage.
But I digress from Ritz wine festival happenings. Look for more in Maui Scene in coming weeks. For tickets, visit www.kapaluawineandfoodfestival.com.
Maui's star power continues as a few of our own peeps are hitting the airwaves.
For instance, the iconic Komoda Store, which has been a Makawao staple for almost 100 years, will be featured on PBS today, according to fan Roberta Hodara, smitten with its doughnuts. "Hikino" airs at 7:30 p.m. and Komoda's segment is somewhere in it.
Chef-owner Alan Wong of Alan Wong's Amasia at Grand Wailea will appear at 9 tonight on the PBS show, "Family Ingredients," touring Oahu and Japan.
Maui boys Jensen Yip and Kevin Scofield now live in Portland, Ore., and run a popular Hawaiian-style food truck called, 808 Grinds. They were just featured Tuesday on "Eat Street" on the Cooking Channel.
Last but not least, Maui Girlz Shave Ice that's parked at the Maui Swap Meet from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays is run by sisters Christiana and Jessica Griffiths. Jessica starred with Clint Eastwood in "Hereafter." The shave ice truck's best-selling flavor is coffee, which includes caramel and chocolate sauces and whipped cream. Rainbow shave ice, move over!
BITS AND PIECES . . Situated in Kaanapali at the Fairway Shops is the hugely popular CJs Comfort Zone Deli and Diner.

A new, do-it-yourself pancake restaurant will open in June at Honokowai Marketplace. Slappy Cakes will feature a griddle in the middle of each table with butters and syrups so you may make your own.
Lahaina Town Dishcrawl has launched. Diners meet on the beach for sunset and proceed to Pacific'o, and then to three other restaurants, which remain a surprise. All ticket holders are notified of where to meet via an email blast, 48 hours prior to the event.
Teddy's Bigger Burgers just celebrated its 2nd birthday at Lahaina Gateway. Come check them out from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday during the Maui Classic Cruisers car show and see other shiny old vehicles from?Oahu and the Big Island.
