Obama Administration persuades defense contractors not to warn employees of impending layoffs.

Do you work for a Defense Contractor with more than 100 employees?

Your Company is required by law to WARN workers of mass layoffs 60 days in advance.

There are massive defense budget cuts coming at the behest of Obama and the Democrats in January. Companies are needing to downsize in response to this fact.

Obama has asked your company not do do so since this would fall right before election day, and cost him votes.

The Obama administration promised to pay your company to cover legal costs and penalties for failure to warn of mass layoffs, according to the WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act).

When you’re unemployed it will be difficult to sue your former employer, however Obama is obviously NOT in your corner, should you attempt to do so.

In compliance with Obama’s request, Lockheed Martin says that is not going to announce its January layoffs until after the election.

Lindsey Graham says the Obama request is illegal. He has pledged to stop the use of tax dollars to reimburse companies’ legal costs incurred for failure to comply with the WARN Act.

Capitalism is Wonderful: Prize4Life cofounder Avichai Kremer

Profile of Avichai Kremer Prize4Life Leader With ALS | Lou Gherig’s Disease | TheBlaze.com.

Avichai Kremer has been living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS – Lou Gehrig’s disease) for nine years.
He can no longer speak or move his hands, and may soon be on a ventilator to assist with breathing.

Kremer is cofounder and CEO of a non-profit foundation which awards SUCCESS in ALS research.
Goals are laid out by his foundation, Prize4Life, and researchers are paid the cash rewards for meeting them. In addition, prize winning scientists retain the licensing and ownership of their own successful results. A million dollar prize has gone to a researcher for developing a inexpensive diagnostic marker that accurately tracks the disease and its progression. This is a tremendous aid for all future clinical trials.
This year’s million dollar prize offering will go to the team which demonstrates a means to prolong the lives of ALS afflicted animals by 25%.

Michigan Professor Strips Naked In Class, Shouts 'There Is No F–king God' | NewsBusters.org.

Michigan State University Prof. John McCarthy spilled his marbles in Calculus I class, in front of the freshmen. The students reported online that he became unglued in class, screaming obscenities, saying that his colleagues are all actors. He left the room, came back, stripped naked down to his socks. (Integrate that!) The students, having seen enough, promptly exited the room. HuffPo claims that the professor screamed that ‘there is no F–ing God’. Pharmer guesses that such a misconception might drive a person crazy.

Medicare to Fine Hospitals for Excessive Re-admissions.

Hospitals face Medicare Fines for Too Many Patients Re-admitted.

If  hospitals have too many patients returning within 30 days of treatment, due to “complications”  they’ll lose part of their medicare payments.  The penalty starts at 1 percent and slides up to 3 percent over time.

This penalty will nail the charity and teaching hospitals hardest, for numerous reasons.

This penalty is  another  incentive  to make sure patients prior medication records are all correct, and the docs attend to correct prescribing practices.
