Government Shutdown Threat Prompts Obama, GOP To Scramble To Strike Budget Deal
April 8, 2011 by Andrew

The Huffington Post
Uncomfortably close to a deadline, President Barack Obama and top congressional leaders have only hours to avert a Friday midnight government shutdown that all sides say would inconvenience millions of people and damage a still fragile economy.
Obama said he still hoped to announce an agreement on Friday but did not have “wild optimism.”
In revealing nothing about what still divides them, Obama and the lawmakers, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., all said another late night of talks in the Oval Office had narrowed their differences over cutting federal spending and other matters.
But Obama said ominously that the machinery of a shutdown was already in motion.
“I expect an answer in the morning,” Obama told reporters Thursday evening as representatives from the White House and Capitol Hill plunged ahead with negotiations into the night.
The aides were trying to cobble together a deal on how much federal spending to slash, where to cut it and what caveats to attach as part of a bill to fund the government through Sept. 30. A temporary federal spending measure expires at midnight Friday.
As the pressure mounted, Obama abruptly postponed plans to promote his agenda in Indiana on Friday.
For a nation eager to trim to federal spending but also weary of Washington bickering, the spending showdown had real implications.
A closure would mean the furloughs of hundreds of thousands of workers and the services they provide, from processing many tax refunds to approving business loans. Medical research would be disrupted, national parks would close and most travel visa and passport services would stop, among many others.

Triangular UFOs: Close Encounters With Unidentified Dorito-Shaped Objects
April 8th, 2011
AOL News
By: Lee Spiegel
In recent years, there have been a lot of UFO sightings. We know that. But a question I’ve wondered about for a long time is this: What’s up with all the triangle-shaped UFOs?
From the U.S. to Belgium, France, Australia and even a reported flying “Dorito” in the U.K., these aerial triangles seem to enjoy our friendly skies.
One of the most recent reports comes from the files of the Mutual UFO Network, where a witness described a huge triangular UFO that made a loud, hissing noise as it moved over his Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas, neighborhood Tuesday morning.
If there really are aliens visiting Earth, have they come up with a new craft that fits their interplanetary travel needs more efficiently than the tried and true flying saucer?
Or are the mysterious flying, silent, hovering triangles the product of a top-secret military project reportedly called the Tactical Reconnaissance TR-3B aircraft, code-named Astra, as many people have speculated all over the Internet?
Whatever these things are, they’ve been seen, photographed and videotaped by lots of people around the world, so it doesn’t seem likely that everybody’s lying or confusing these crafts with the planet Venus or meteors streaking in the sky.
I called on retired Army Col. John Alexander to give some much-needed insight into all of this. For six decades, he’s been involved in national security affairs, holding key positions in special operations, intelligence, and research and development.
“A few of these sightings can be attributed to development of secret aircraft, such as stealth vehicles, including Have Blue — which was the prototype for the F-117 Nighthawk,” Alexander told me.
“While there continue to be rumors of more modern experimental craft, they would certainly not display the characteristics reported by observers.
“Specifically, many of these UFOs are illuminated and appear in highly visible venues. Unlike any secret aircraft, they do not make any attempt to remain hidden,” said Alexander, author of “UFOs: Myths, Conspiracies and Realities” (Thomas Dunne Books).
Whenever I either see a new picture or video or read a report about one of these triangular UFOs, it transports me back to 1975 when I had a close encounter with one of these objects. And it was the kind of experience that solidified my interest in this subject, because it was so personal.
I was producing a documentary record album, “UFOs: The Credibility Factor,” for CBS Inc. when I got a call from my friend, astronomer J. Allen Hynek, the former scientific adviser on UFOs to the U.S. Air Force and the man who coined the expression “close encounters of the first, second and third kinds.”
Hynek asked me to go to Lumberton, N.C., and investigate reports he’d received from several law enforcement agencies about a strange triangular-shaped craft that people had seen a few nights in a row.
Within hours of my arrival in the county sheriff’s office, calls started coming in about the return of the UFO. A short time later, I, along with sheriff’s deputies and police officers, converged at the side of a big field. It was a starry, moonless evening, and across the far side of the field, moving slowly above a line of trees from our left to right, was an object giving off a red-white appearance.
As we watched, the object stopped moving to the right and instead began to cross the field in our direction. When it got to the point where it was directly above us, we all noticed the same things (and not in any particular order of importance, since it all happened so fast):
- It was about the size of two police cars.
- It made absolutely no sound.
- It was V-shaped or triangular-shaped.
- It had a row of red lights up one side and white lights up the other side, with a larger, single white light at the apex.

Johnson & Johnson Settles Bribery Case With Feds

Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson has agreed to pay $70 million to settle civil and criminal charges of bribing doctors in Europe and paying kickbacks to the Iraqi government to illegally obtain business.
The Securities and Exchange Commission said Friday that the company settled the charges with the agency and the Justice Department without admitting or denying guilt.
The government accused J&J subsidiaries of providing money and travel gifts to doctors in Greece, Poland and Romania in exchange for their prescribing J&J products to patients. The SEC says J&J agents used fake contracts and sham companies to deliver the bribes. The SEC says the bribes began at least 13 years ago.
J&J subsidiaries also allegedly paid kickbacks to the Iraqi government to obtain contracts under the United Nations Oil for Food Program.
J&J said in a statement that it alerted the government to the medical device kickbacks in 2007. The company identified similar violations across multiple businesses over the next three years, it said.
“We went to the government to report improper payments and have taken full responsibility for these actions,” said William Weldon, Chairman and CEO of J&J. “I know that these actions are not representative of Johnson & Johnson employees around the world who do what is honest and right every day.”
A spokeswoman for the company added that none of the employees cited in the charges are currently employed by J&J. The company said it expects to reach a settlement with regulators in the United Kingdom in the next several days.
The charges against J&J were brought under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which bars publicly traded companies from bribing officials in other countries to get or retain business. In the past five years, the Justice Department has investigated several companies that sell medical devices in foreign countries for violating the law.
J&J’s household reputation has been battered in the past year by a string of recalls, including over-the-counter medicines — such as Children’s Tylenol and Benadryl — contact lenses and orthopedic hips.
Last month federal health regulators took legal control of the plant where millions of bottles of defective medication were produced.
The New Brunswick, N.J.-based health care company sells everything from Band-Aids to biotech drugs. J&J shares rose 7 cents to $59.55 Friday

Army Sergeant Battles Mortgage Servicer — and Wins

The Huffington Post

A federal jury has awarded a Georgia man more than $21 million in a lawsuit pitting the homeowner against one of the nation’s largest mortgage servicers.
U.S. Army sergeant David Brash was awarded the damages in March, after a Columbus, Ga. jury found that PHH Mortgage, the country’s eighth largest mortgage servicer, had incorrectly reported Brash to credit score companies as “seriously delinquent” despite the fact that all his mortgage payments had been automatically deducted from his paycheck.
According to court documents, Brash sent letters to the mortgage company that went unanswered, violating federal laws. When he called his mortgage company to find out why his payments were not going through, his attorneys said, he was repeatedly routed to overseas customer services staff who couldn’t answer his questions.
“PHH’s corporate representative testified that call center representatives had limited access to information,” Teresa Abell, one of Brash’s attorneys told The Huffington Post. Some of Brash’s calls — which were automatically recorded by PHH — were played in court, Abell explained. “The jury got a flavor of what would happen, he could be put on hold for 30, 45 or 55 minutes, then representatives would give him whatever story they had concocted,” she added. Different representatives told Brash different things, many of which were simply not true, Abell alleged. “They would tell him they would investigate and get back to him in 24 hours, he’d call back, and another representative would tell him “there is no investigation being done on your account.”"
Consumer websites are packed with homeowner complaints of mistakes by mortgage companies and banks that can be impossible to set right — in part thanks to unhelpful customer service departments. In the most extreme cases, these problems may have led to wrongful foreclosures. In January, JPMorgan Chase admitted to overcharging military families on their mortgages, illegally foreclosing on 14 families as a result. In February, The Huffington Post reported on a couple who were facing foreclosure despite having proof they had made every mortgage payment. In circumstances echoing Brash’s, PHH Mortgage reported that homeowner, Kendra Parker, to credit rating agencies for missing payments, destroying her credit rating.
An investigation by all 50 state attorneys general launched last fall when improper paperwork practices at banks and mortgage companies — like the “robo-signing” scandal — came to light found many banks and mortgage servicers violated numerous state laws in handling mortgages and foreclosures. While banks expect penalties, it is unclear whether homeowners affected by their banks’ actions will have any recourse.
Brash’s case remains one of a few in which homeowners have successfully established that their mortgage company was in the wrong, but lawyers say more are on the horizon.
Brash originally took out the $160,000 mortgage on his Columbus, Ga., home in November 2007, setting up automatic payments so his $1,300-a-month payments would be deducted from his army salary. During the trial, the jury heard the homeowner called the mortgage company twice to make sure the paperwork was correct. In court, representatives for PHH Mortgage testified that mistakes on these forms — which customer service staff had told Brash were correct — had caused the missing and late payments.
After 15 months, according to court documents, PHH Mortgage started sending late payment notices to Brash, and threatened to report his “serious delinquency” to credit scoring agencies. After “numerous, lengthy calls” to a customer service department in India went nowhere, Brash hired an attorney who wrote a formal letter to the president of PHH about the errors. Under the federal Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act, mortgage companies and banks have to respond to written requests within 60 business days, which PHH failed to do, the attorneys said. They did however adjust Brash’s account.
In November 2009 PHH Mortgage sent more late payment notices, this time reporting Brash to three credit rating companies and seriously damaging his credit score, according to court documents. Brash, based in Fort Benning, Ga., sued the mortgage company for breaching the federal Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act. He also sued under Georgia state loan servicing and breach of contract laws.
Attorneys representing PHH Mortgage did not return calls for comment, but told Georgia TV news station WTVM: “Although we respect the judicial process, we believe this verdict is not supported by the facts of the case or by applicable law, and that the award is grossly disproportionate to any damages Sgt. Brash may have sustained. We intend to seek further judicial review of the case.”

CBS Exec Denies Being An FBI Informant
April 7th, 2011
The Huffington Post
By: Jack Mirkinson
The Washington bureau chief for CBS News vehemently denied allegations that he had served as an informant for the FBI while working for ABC News in the 1990s.
Christopher Isham was not named in a report by the Center For Public Integrity which was published on Tuesday. The report cited a declassified memo in alleging that a journalist worked with the FBI from 1995 to 1996, in the wake of the Oklahoma City bombing. The memo seemed to suggest that the journalist passed along information from sources and even gave the name of a confidential source.
But Isham later issued a statement acknowledging that he was the subject of the report, and angrily protesting its implications. He called the allegations “outrageous and untrue,” and said that he would have only talked to the FBI to check information or warn of a potential terrorist attack.
“This is consistent with the policies at every news organization,” Isham said. “But at no time did I compromise a confidential source with the FBI or anyone else.”
The CPI report revealed that the source Isham was talking about was Vincent Cannistrarto, a former CIA official who was working for ABC News at the time. Cannistrarto apparently told Isham that there were possible ties between the Oklahoma City bombing and the Iraqi Special Services, a claim that turned out to be false. In his statement, Isham seemingly acknowledged passing this information on to the FBI, but denied that he had violated any journalistic ethics.
“Mr. Cannistraro was not a confidential source, but rather a colleague–a paid consultant to ABC News who had already spoken to the FBI about information he had received,” he said.
An unnamed FBI official told the New York Times that Isham had indeed passed on information to the bureau, but was never regarded as an official informant.

Bristol Palin is Paid $262,500 For Abstinence Campaign

By: Emily Christianson
Bristol Palin took home $262,500 in 2009 for advocating against teen pregnancy, tax documents show. Apparently abstinence can be very lucrative.
The big bucks came from the Candie’s Foundation, a group aimed at shaping “the way youth in America think about teen pregnancy and parenthood.”
“We know that Ms. Palin’s work has had a positive effect on creating awareness about teen pregnancy,” Candie’s spokeswoman Ali Tyrangel said in a statement.
The reality show star, who made headlines as a teen mom in 2008 during her mother Sarah Palin’s run for vice president, even took her Candie’s campaign on her stint with “Dancing with the Stars.” Remember her awkward “pause before you play” sex talk with The Situation?
Critics are already taking shots at Palin, now 20, but some people are defending her, according to E! Online, saying, “The money she received was from multiple projects she did with them. She shot PSAs, print and Internet ads and did town hall meetings, as well, and the money she made was an accumulation of all of that. This is not out of the ordinary for a celebrity to make an income off of a charity they represent.”
