Working families must be sustained

Last week, Ohio voters de-livered a bona fide victory forpublic sector workers every-where. I was pleased to joinmy Labor Sisters and Broth-ers on the ground in Gahannaand Columbus, engaging di-rectly with the people of Ohioto Vote No On Issue 2 andrepeal Senate Bill 5.

After months of advocacyand organizing, the people ofOhio have defeated a law thatwould have silenced the middleclass and curtailed the collec-tive bargaining rights of thou-sands of teachers, firefightersand police officers. Ohio hasmade it clear: these dedicatedpublic servants still need a seatat the table to demand fair-ness, dignity and respect—es-pecially in tough economictimes. Through their unions,they have a voice in theirworkplace, in their future and,most importantly, in our future.

Next year voters of Califor-nia will likely be faced with adeceptive measure called thePaycheck Protection Act, thisinitiative Paycheck “decep-tion,” as it should be referredto, attacks organized labor, col-lective bargaining and all work-ers’ rights. It’s being circulatedby big drug, oil and insurancecompanies to keep teachersand public employees from par-ticipating in the political pro-cess. I will urge voters to VoteNo on this initiative in the eventit comes before us.

I was proud to join my sistersand brothers in Ohio in the fightfor social and economic justice.Public sector workers voicescan only be guaranteed whenthey have the right to organizeand bargain collectively. To-gether, we shall continue to con-tribute our time, passion anddedication to achieve this in-credible feat for working fami-lies.

Big-city newspapers are fightingrising costs, falling circulation,advertising losses to other mediaand a competitive challenge fromthe Internet. But their woes presentan opportunity to small daily andweekly newspapers, shoppers andalternative papers. By assumingsome of the functions of big papers- while still retaining theirdistinctive identity - the smallpapers can reap big rewards. An analysis by leading classified-ad-placement agency AccessAdvertising of Kansas City, MOclarifies the changes that aretransforming the newspaperbusiness. “The bottom dropped out ofnewspaper classified advertisingrevenue in the first quarter of 2001,even before 9/11,” states AccessAdvertising Chief Economist BradFurnish. “If you adjust the data forinflation, classified ad revenue stillhasn’t recovered to the level itreached in 1996. From $19.6 billionin 2000, classified-ad revenue hasfallen to $5.7 billion in 2010.”Furnish uses data gathered by theNational Newspaper Associationand the Newspaper Association ofAmerica. “Major-metro paid circulationshave been declining for twodecades. The public has turned tocable channels and news networksfor breaking news. The editorialslant of most major metros is left-of-center politically, which putsthem at odds with the shift inpolitical attitudes that has driven the

Small Can Be Beautiful in Today’sNewspaper Business

U.S. rightward over the last 25years.”Are newspapers dying? Itdepends, Furnish cautions, on justwhat you mean by “newspapers.”There are only about 230 major-metropolitan newspapers such asthe New York Times and theChicago Tribune, but the numberof such newspaper-typepublications as small dailies,weeklies, shoppers and alternativepapers approaches 10,000. Thesesmaller publications can offer anaudience to potential advertisers atlower cost and without thedrawbacks of advertising in majormetros. “Small dailies, weeklies, shoppersand alternatives charge veryattractive advertising rates,” pointsout Access Advertising GeneralManager Trae Nunnink. “What’smore, they don’t offend theirreaders with their style, their politicsor with mandatory Internet fees. Ithink they’ll be around for a longtime.” Nunnink believes that the key tosuccess will be for smaller papersto recognize their comparativeadvantage and press it to thefullest. “Not every advertiser in themajor-metro newspapers is well-suited for smaller papers,” Nunninkwarns. “Recruitment ads often workbeautifully there. We placehundreds of thousands of ads insmaller papers every year to recruittruck drivers for trucking firms.

They target the right people andareas, they fit the budget ofalmost any firm and the ad doesn’tcompete with dozens of similarads so it automatically standsout.” “When trucking recruiters runads in major-metro newspapers,they often feel obligated to run abig, expensive ad just to make itconspicuous,” says Nunnink. Wecall this ‘advertising on steroids.’The beauty of using the smallerpapers for recruitment ads is that

you can write simple, concise ad copy,stay within your budget and still getgreat results.” The next time you hear about theimpending death of the newspaper,consider the possibility that - toparaphrase Mark Twain - the story maybe slightly exaggerated.www.accessadvertising.com2001 Grand Blvd. Suite 501 KansasCity, Missouri 64108Phone: (888)943-6382 Fax: (816)471-0177

SAN BERNARDINO – San Ber-nardino County Board of Supervi-sors today accepted a menu of jobclassifications, including qualifica-tions, salary and benefit levels, forBoard staff.

Following a detailed analysis ofsurveys completed by current boardstaff, the County Department ofHuman Resources, compiled a listof 14 classifications that outline spe-cific job functions and skill setsneeded for each position.

This board item successfully ad-dresses the third of four reform mea-sures Chair Josie Gonzales an-nounced during the May 17 Boardof Supervisors meeting.

“Up until now, there were no es-tablished criteria or qualificationsfor many of the board staff posi-tions,” Gonzales said. “While Su-

Due to board staffs’ contract em-ployee status, their compensation isnot restricted to the defined classi-fication specifications; however, thenewly defined guidelines offer trans-parency and create consistency forthe Board of Supervisors hiring pro-cess.

“Board staff positions should notbe political appointments. We havean obligation to assure the publicthat the employees we hire are quali-fied professionals that meet the re-quired criteria just like every otheremployee,” said Gonzales.

“Dementia”

Dementia is “without a mind”=madness

“…A loss of brain function whichaffects memory, thinking, language,judgment and behaviorsymptoms.…A serious loss of cog-nitive abilities which is a non-revers-ible mental deterioration.”

My ex-husband took our boys andmyself overseas to visit his motherbefore she died.

She was Greek, spoke four lan-guages and grew up in Egypt.

She adored me and I am very grate-ful. These were her only grand chil-dren and at 2 1/2 Years old were quitea handful. She would hold their facesup to her face and gaze into theirfaces for hours and talk to them. Theyhave always been fascinated by facesand expressions, so they tolerated itwell.

She had a great sense of humorand an easy way of talking.

My ex sometimes had to take heron an appointment and he told meseveral times that she would sud-denly become frantic and panicstricken. Like a giant switch thatwould go off and on. She would gooff on him for no apparent reason andwithout warning.

She would scream out at him thatthe streets were dark and unfamiliar.She accused him of trying to kill herand would demand that he stop thecar and let her out. She would grabthe door handle and irrationally tryto force the door open while he wasdriving. He was unable to calm herdown. She would often go off like arocket and they would yell at eachother for awhile. But then, it was allGreek to me and it seems that Greekpeople all talk at once and everyoneis yelling at each other.

My ex-husband finally put hismother in a convalescent home. They

Column: LET’S TALK ABOUT ITEXPLOSIVE, FRAGMENTED, VOLATILE

MINDwould call him to complain about hismother. She was unruly, demanding,difficult and often accusing them oftrying to kill her. We stayed onlythree months and then had to comeback to the States. His mother diedshortly after we left.

DILLUSIONIST OF THE TRUTH

My own mother was seized withbouts of cruel dementia. She hadtaken care of my sister for most ofher life between hospital visits. Mysister had gone for what we knewwas to be the last time. She was notcoming home this time. As if in reliefand release of duties, my mother suf-fered a stroke.

For several years my mother hadbeen getting worse. She yelled atmy sister and called her cruel names.My mother would order me out ofmy house and tell me to hurry andpack and move. Then she would or-der me out of her house when I vis-ited and yell at me that I came inwhile she was gone and stole herjewelry and other items. My mothernever really had any ‘real’ jewelry,except the ring which I had boughther in my High School days for afew dollars a week until I paid offthe rather large sum.

My mother would distort her facelike an angry demon and off she’dgo. I had purposely thrown awaymy key to her house many yearsbefore so that I could not be ac-cused of just such a thing. I wouldtry to explain to her that I did noteven have a key and it could nothave been me.

It is impossible to rationalize withan irrational person, no matter howhard you try. Believe me, the ratio-nal reasoning inside all of us tells usthat the person will listen if we say itenough times. That is not the case

at all. We see a loved one suddenlyexplode with anger, guilt, panic andfear and try to ease the pain by yell-ing back at them. While caught upin the moment, we lose track of thefact that to this twisted mind in frontof us, they are seeing their own frac-tured reality. It is as real to them asit is unreal to us.

My mother had to join my sisterat the same convalescent home andI had to put them next door to eachother because my mother yelled atmy poor sister so much that theycould not be in the same room to-gether.

They kept my mother druggedand she wandered in and out of herand my realities and I never knew ifshe remembered me or not. Mostof the time, she just stared at meand didn’t talk. Shortly before shedied she seemed to wake up clearheaded, looked straight at me andsaid, “Hi skinny”. Those were herlast words to me.

SHATTERED SPIRIT

I have a friend who lost his dearwife this year. For 42 years shelooked after him. Then she suffereda stroke and was almost a veg-

etable for the next 21 years. He ca-tered to her day and night and had todo everything for her. He was so lov-ing of her always. He told me howdifficult it was when she got demen-tia and began to yell at him and ac-cuse him of all sorts of atrocities. Hewould sometimes lose his temper andget upset with her for being so ri-diculous. Again, he would try to ra-tionalize with her.

It was upsetting to their childrenas well when they had to watch theirdear mother deteriorate.

When I mentioned I was writingthis article he cautioned me to be sureand tell the readers to be as patientas possible and to remember the per-son that they once were. Love themand remember them and try not toget upset were his words of wisdom.

I hope this helps if you find your-self in such a situation.

ATLANTA, Nov. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Theinaugural St. Jude Soul CelebrationGala brought together red carpetcelebrities like Elise Neal, TerriVaughn, Roger Bobb, DemetriaMcKinney, Mike Peterson (NFLAtlanta Falcons), DikembeMutombo (NBA Hall of Fame), andFredricka Whitfield for a good cause– to raise funds and awareness forSt. Jude Children’s ResearchHospital®, one of the world’spremier centers for the research andtreatment of pediatric cancer andother deadly childhood diseases. Inaddition to celebrity attendees wasa live performance by GRAMMY®-award winning artist Ne-Yo.

But the real show-stoppers for theevening were the patients. ElnoraLee shared the story of her twodaughters, Felicia and Jayla, andattendees were reminded why theycame out to support the event. “St.Jude took away the worry of howwe were going to pay for our girls’treatment. They gave us hope thatthey were going to live.”

The event was held at the J.W.Marriott Hotel in Buckhead, andfeatured a red carpet event, cocktailreception, silent auction and acelebrity meet-and-greet forsponsors and VIPs. It was co-chaired by Hip-Hop celebrity momsLoraine Smith (mother of artist Ne-Yo), Aliyah “Mama Pain” Najm(mother of rap artist T-Pain) andJacida Carter (mother of rap artistLil Wayne), who after visiting St.Jude last year, decided they wantedto do more for the kids of St. Jude.

Emcees for the night were film andtelevision actress Elise Neal andCNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield.Neal, a native of Memphis, Tenn.where St. Jude is located, is a long-time supporter of the world-famoushospital. “St. Jude Children’sResearch Hospital is an amazingorganization that really has thefamily in mind,” she said. “Theyunderstand the importance ofkeeping the family together, whichhelps the kids get stronger whilereceiving treatment; that’s whatreally draws me to this charity.

Celebrity Moms Strike a Chord in the FightAgainst Childhood Cancer at Inaugural St. Jude

Soul Celebration Gala

Hearing stories like that of Feliciaand Jayla is encouraging to me tokeep supporting them and telling theworld about the great work St. Judedoes.”

Felicia and Jayla were born with agenetic condition calledneurofibromatosis, and in June 2008,a CT-scan revealed a nickel-sizedmass in Felicia’s brain. Both girlswere sent to a specialty clinic forfurther testing the next day. Thefamily was devastated to learn notonly was Felicia’s tumor active, butJayla had a lesion in her brain, too.Together, they were referred to St.Jude for follow-up care where Feliciaimmediately began chemotherapytreatment to fight the growing tumor.Jayla’s lesion isn’t growing, so shedoesn’t need chemotherapy at thistime, but she visits St. Judefrequently with her mom and Felicia.And every 90 days, she undergoestests to monitor the tumor. Nowfinished with treatment, Jayla andFelicia continue to receivecomprehensive care from St. Judethat includes psychosocialcounseling, school programs andother services needed to optimizequality of life.

Events like the St. Jude SoulCelebration Gala are important to St.Jude because the hospital reliesprimarily on the public’s generosityto support its lifesaving mission. Itcosts $1.7 million to operate thehospital every day and more than75 percent of that funding comesfrom the public. St. Jude is the onlypediatric cancer research centerwhere families never pay fortreatment not covered by insuranceand no child is ever denied treatmentbecause of the family’s inability topay. It is because of events like thisthat families like Felicia and Jayla cancontinue to receive the lifesavingtreatment they need to live happy,healthy lives.

MILWAUKEE, WI – Thanksgiv-ing is filled with good food, com-pany, and gratitude. For manypeople, it’s also the source ofweight gain and anxiety. This sea-son, don’t let the holidays derailyour healthy habits. TOPS Club,Inc. (Take Off Pounds Sensibly),the nonprofit weight-loss supportorganization, offers tips to eat right,stay active, and reduce stress.

Eat without Regret• Watch portion sizes. You don’t

need to fill your plate with every-thing that’s offered. Sample yourfavorite foods and use a smallerplate to “trick” yourself into think-ing you have consumed more.

• Slow down. Take time to enjoyyour food and stop eating beforeyou feel full.

• Change the focus to family atthe table. Food and drinks are alarge part of the holidays, but theydon’t have to be the focus. In-stead, go around the table andhave everyone say why they arethankful, share favorite holidaymemories, and reconnect.

• Don’t forget about breakfast.Approaching the Thanksgivingmeal on an empty stomach can bea recipe for disaster. A nutritiousbreakfast helps control appetite,so you aren’t as inclined to over-indulge during dinner. Breakfastcan also keep energy levels up.

• Send off leftovers. Don’t fillyour refrigerator with leftovers;send extra food home with guests.This will help avoid temptation todip back into high-calorie treats.

Stay Active• Take a hike or go for a walk.

Make time to get moving onThanksgiving Day. Take a walk or

Give Thanks for Good Health

hike in the morning or head outsideafter dinner. Many communities of-fer “Turkey Trots,” a 5K walk/run,which can be an invigorating wayto kick off the day.

• Plan an activity. The day doesn’tneed to revolve around the Thanks-giving meal. Go for a family bikeride, play football, or have a relayrace for the kids.

Say Goodbye to Holiday Stress• Take time for yourself. During

the holidays, there can be a lot oftogetherness. It’s important tospend a few minutes alone periodi-cally to give yourself time to re-charge. Take a nap, listen to music,or simply sneak off to a quiet roomin the house to clear your mind.

• Be thankful. Feeling stressed ortired? Find yourself complaining?Take time to think about or writedown the things you’re thankful for,big or small. Being grateful can de-crease stress, boost the immunesystem, and improve sleep patterns.

• Share the load. There’s no rea-son only one person should plan,cook, and entertain. If guests offerto prepare a dish, let them bring itto your Thanksgiving celebration.Also, have the kids help with house-hold chores. This will decrease yourworkload and make the holidaymore pleasant.

• Help those less fortunate. For-get about your troubles for the dayand spend time volunteering at alocal soup kitchen or food pantry.Spread cheer by giving back, tak-ing the focus off of your own stressand helping others in need.

• Breathe! It may seem simple, but

continued in last 2 columns

people tend to forget to breathe whenthey’re stressed. Take deep breathsto increase your oxygen intake. Finda comfortable place to rest and con-sciously slow the rate of your breath-ing. You’ll be amazed how good youwill feel.

• Keep it simple. Make a few fancydishes and keep the others easy. It’sokay to scale back the meal and fes-tivities, so you enjoy the holidayrather than spend all of your time pre-paring.

To successfully employ these tips,make sure to plan ahead and prac-tice an attitude of gratitude. The holi-days are a time to focus on the peoplein your life, so make an effort to takethe emphasis off of sweet treats andcreating the perfect meal and bethankful for friends, family, and good

Moment In The Word

Pastor Larry E. Campbell

BIBLE MEDITATION:“For my thoughts are not your

thoughts, neither are your ways myways, says the LORD. For as theheavens are higher than the earth,so are my ways higher than yourways and my thoughts than yourthoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9

“O the depth of the riches andwisdom and knowledge of God!How unsearchable are his judg-ments and how inscrutable hisways!” Romans 11:33

DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:A king, who did not believe in the

goodness of God, had a slave who,in all circumstances, said: My king,do not be discouraged, because ev-erything God does is perfect, nomistakes!

One day they went hunting andalong the way a wild animal attackedthe king. His slave managed to killthe animal, but could not preventhis majesty losing a finger. Furiousand without showing his gratitudefor being saved, the nobleman said“Is God good? If He was good, Iwould not have been attacked andlost my finger.” The slave repliedonly “My king, despite all thesethings, I can only tell you that Godis good, and he knows the “why”of all these things. What God doesis perfect. He is never wrong!” Out-raged by the response, the king or-dered the arrest of his slave.

Later, he left for another hunt andwas captured by savages who madehuman sacrifices. On the altar, ready

to sacrifice the noble, a savage hadfound that the victim had not one ofhis fingers, and therefore was re-leased. According to them: it was notso complete to be offered to the gods.

Upon his return to the palace, heauthorized the release of his slave thathe received very affectionately. - Mydear, God was really good for me! Iwas almost killed by the wild men, butfor lack of a single finger, I was let go!But I have a question: If God is sogood, why did he allow me to put youin jail? - My King, if I had gone withyou in this hunt, I would have beensacrificed for you, because I have nomissing finger.

Therefore, remember: everythingGod does is perfect. It is never wrong.Often we complain about life andthings that happen to us apparentlynegative, forgetting that nothing israndom and that everything has a pur-pose.

ACTION POINT:Every morning, offer your day to

God. Ask God to inspire yourthoughts, guide your actions, to easeyour feelings. And do not be afraid.God is never wrong! You know whythis message is for you? I do not know,but God knows, because he nevermakes mistakes....... The path of Godand his word is perfect, without im-purities. It is the way of all those whotrust in him. Remember, God is tooWISE to make a MISTAKE and tooJUST to do us WRONG.

In His Love & Service,Pastor Larry E. Campbell,M.A., MDiv.St. Paul A.M.E. ChurchSan Bernardino, CAWe must change our minds. If we

change our mind we will change theway we think. If we change the waywe think, we will change our behav-ior. If we change our behavior, we willCHANGE OUR LIFE!— Rev. IkennaA. Kokayi

Damon Little has a profoundintense sound that has beendescribed across the gospelindustry as “New wave Gospel, across between the Soul of Quartetand the Grooves of the UrbanSound”. His friend Jeff Majors ofThe Radio One Network andNational Recording Artist in hisown right, states—”It’s just newtraditional and inspirationalMusic.” and Dorinda Clark of the

The Occupy Movement issurely a sight to behold. Thou-sands of people in over 900 cit-ies in this country and all overthe world are saying NO. NO,to the very small number whocontrol the wealth and thepower. No, we do not believethat money trickles down to themost vulnerable because thewealthy are generous. No,democratic elections cannot con-tinue to be driven by who canraise the most money. No, wecan no longer deny that moneytalks.

Regardless of whether it is in acapitalist or socialist economicsystem, money talks. It’s timeto get out of denial. While I amin deep disagreement with oligar-chical societies, they are at leasthonestly portrayed. In countries,where oligarchy rules those whohave the most money control theculture, the community, and thesociety. Sounds too close towhat we’re facing in the UnitedStates when the wealthiest con-trol the culture, the communityand the society that is furthermagnified by unjust tax laws thatbenefit them most.

Who are these 99%? They aremore than the middle-class per-son who has experienced a re-cent economic crisis. The 99%includes thousands of parentswho do not have enough moneyto pay for quality child care whilethey work at a minimum wagejob. The 99% includes the 13.9million persons in this countrywho are unemployed. The 99%includes the 50 million women,

men, and children who do nothave health insurance, let aloneaccess to basic health care needs(U.S. Census Bureau, September2011). The 99% includes stu-dents who went back to collegeto improve their chance for bet-ter employment; now half ofthese students graduate with anaverage loan debt of $10,000while the cost of college in-creases at twice the rate of infla-tion (National Center for Educa-tion Statistics). The 99% in-cludes those who owned one ofthe 1.5 million homes in foreclo-sure (RealtyTrac). I know manypeople, including close familymembers, in these situations. I’llbet you do too.

We see the faces of demonstra-tors everywhere. It is such ahuge movement because so manyhave become the victims of greedon the part of a few. Besides allthose included in the 99% men-tioned above, activists and advo-cates and faith leaders from allreligions are marching with thosewho have no voice. Whether wehave seen a face we know in ademonstration on television orsomeone we have marched alongside, I believe that we each knowat least one person, probablymany more, who are sufferingthe impact of our broken eco-nomic system.

Those raising their voices arepeople just like us expressingconcern that our gridlocked po-litical system seems incapable ofadequately addressing theseproblems. Not knowing whatelse to do, people are taking tothe streets and showing their dis-tress, not just for their own well-being, but for the common good.By participating with nonviolentsteady action, in spite of aggres-sive police actions and restrictiveregulations, we are exercising thebasic principles of the democraticsystem that we valiantly supportand protect. Do not doubt that99% of us can make a differencewhen we say YES to justice andfairness for all, not just some.

In Tebow Debate, a Clash ofFaith and Football Posted By: GregBishop Tuesday November 8th,2011 Tim Tebow is an N.F.L. quar-terback, and Tim Tebow is an out-spoken Christian. And while quar-terback controversies are almost ascommon as quarterbacks, whoplay perhaps the most scrutinizedposition in American sports, whathas erupted around Tebow thisseason is altogether different.

At the intersection of faith andfootball, the fervor that surroundsboth Tebow’s beliefs and hisstruggles in his second season forthe Denver Broncos has escalatedinto a full-blown national debateover religion and its place in sports.

While Tebow is not the firstopenly religious athlete, the cir-cumstances surrounding his per-formance this season are so un-usual, the N.F.L. is experiencing arare, if not unprecedented, reli-gious feud. The latest chapter inthe Book of Tebow played out Sun-day, when he threw two touch-down passes in the Broncos’ up-set of the Oakland Raiders, perhapssaving his status as the starter, butnot ending the larger debate.

Tim Tebow is an N.F.L. quarter-back, and Tim Tebow is an outspo-ken Christian. And while quarter-back controversies are almost ascommon as quarterbacks, who playperhaps the most scrutinized posi-tion in American sports, what haserupted around Tebow this seasonis altogether different.

At the intersection of faith andfootball, the fervor that surroundsboth Tebow’s beliefs and hisstruggles in his second season forthe Denver Broncos has escalatedinto a full-blown national debateover religion and its place in sports.

While Tebow is not the firstopenly religious athlete, the cir-cumstances surrounding his per-formance this season are so un-usual, the N.F.L. is experiencing arare, if not unprecedented, religiousfeud. The latest chapter in the Book

of Tebow played out Sunday, whenhe threw two touchdown passes inthe Broncos’ upset of the OaklandRaiders, perhaps saving his statusas the starter, but not ending thelarger debate.

“The role religion plays here isenormous,” said Kurt Warner, theformer N.F.L. quarterback and a simi-larly outspoken Christian athlete.“When somebody professes theirfaith, and I was that guy for a longtime, people automatically thinkwhen you praise God it’s becauseHe makes passes go straighter orhelps win games. When you lose,they say, your faith doesn’t belonghere. Your God’s not helping youwin.”

To his most fervent supporters —and there are many — Tebow wasnever just a quarterback. He was achampion of Christianity in shoul-der pads, a wholesome, fearsomefootball player who loved God andtouchdowns, in that order. If detrac-tors found Tebow preachy, if heseemed too good to be true, he stillwon two national championshipsand a Heisman Trophy at the Uni-versity of Florida, securing his leg-end as one of the greatest collegeplayers ever.

Drafted last year by the Broncos,

he played sparingly his rookie sea-son. Now, his struggles to adapt tothe N.F.L. have changed the tenorof the debate around him, made itnastier, more personal, more in-tense. Supporters have reacted tocriticism of Tebow as an indictmenton religion, while detractors seemto delight in every wayward pass.

Just last year, Tebow drew na-tional attention for his antiabortioncommercial broadcast during theSuper Bowl. In the past threeweeks, he has become the most dis-cussed and most polarizing figurein sports, strange territory for a re-placement player on a last-placeteam. Opponents mocked his cel-ebration pose — kneeling, in prayer,which became an Internet memeknown as Tebowing — and hiscoach offered a lukewarm vote ofconfidence.

One columnist in Denver calledTebow the worst quarterback infootball. Another columnist inCanada labeled Tebow the “KimKardashian of sports,” for the in-tense reaction he elicited. Online,the torrent of mockery and criticismhas been fierce. Blog posts in-cluded “God explains why he let TimTebow fail” and Twitter explodedin hateful vitriol, to which the Sports

Illustrated writer Joe Posnanskimused: “I believe Tim Tebow isn’tan N.F.L. starter and I want him toprove me wrong because I believehe’s a great guy. Is that allowed?”

In sheer volume and intensity, thecomments section on an ESPN ar-ticle best captured the storm knownas Tebow mania. They ranged fromcritical to crude under the theme “Xis > Tebow,” with X being “eatingyour kids” among the options, asmoderators struggled to delete theescalating venom.

“This isn’t so much about TimTebow,” said Lincoln Blumell, anassistant professor of ancient scrip-ture at Brigham Young Universityand a former college quarterback.“This is about people and about re-ligion in sports.”

When he starred at the Univer-sity of Calgary, Blumell prayed athis locker before and after games.Early on, though, he decided thatany expressions of faith beyondthat, on the field, would feel insin-cere.

Tebow took the opposite ap-proach, and to Blumell and mostothers, that felt genuine, too. Tebowinscribed Bible verses on the blackpatches worn under his eyes, a prac-tice since banned by the N.C.A.A.He preached to prisoners in Americaand circumcised babies in the Phil-ippines, where his parents were mis-sionaries. Blumell watched Tebow’sfinal college game, from the SugarBowl stands on Jan. 1, 2010, wit-nessing a “remarkable polarity in thecrowd with religious undertones.”He turned to a friend and said,“Tebow’s going to be president.”

As vice president at NielsenSports, Stephen Master measuresan athlete’s endorsement potentialbased on awareness and appeal.Nationally, the company testedTebow after the draft in 2010 andagain before this season. Comingout of college, Tebow recorded anN-score of 141, “an incredible rat-ing,” Master said, “M.V.P.-like.”

The Office of Management andBudget (OMB) today announcedthat the Administration cut waste-ful improper payments by $17.6billion dollars in 2011 as part of theObama Administration’s Campaignto Cut Waste, fueled by decreasesin payment errors in Medicare,Medicaid, Pell Grants, and FoodStamps. Combined with the im-proper payment cuts in 2010, agen-cies have avoided making over $20billion in improper payments in thetwo years since President Obamaissued an Executive Order initiat-ing an aggressive campaignagainst wasteful payment errors.

“When the President and Ilaunched the Campaign to CutWaste we knew success would bemeasured by results, not rhetoric,”said Vice President Biden. ”Thesharp reduction in payment errorsannounced today demonstratesthis Administration is seriousabout cutting waste,” he added.

“Because of the sustained com-mitment from the President, theVice President, and leaders acrossthe Administration – and the ef-fective use of technology – we areseeing real progress crackingdown on this waste of taxpayerdollars that has persisted for fartoo long,” said OMB Director JackLew. “Through aggressive and in-novative solutions being deployedby Federal agencies, we are ontrack to meet the President’s bolddirective to prevent $50 billion inpayment errors by the end of 2012.This is a good step, but not theend. We will continue to work dayand night to prevent taxpayer dol-lars from being wasted in paymentsto the wrong people or in thewrong amount.”

Lower Rate of Improper Pay-ments Prevents $17.6 Billion inWaste and Error

In 2010, the President an-nounced that by the end of 2012,the Administration would avoid$50 billion in improper payments,cut Medicare fee-for-service errorsin half, and recapture $2 billion inoverpayments to contractors. Thanks to the Campaign to CutWaste, the Administration is ontrack to meet or exceed thesegoals. Specifically, the Administra-tion:

·Cut the 2011 government-wideerror rate to 4.7 percent, a sharpdecrease from the 2010 error rateof 5.3 percent and the 2009 errorrate of 5.42 percent.

·Prevented $17.6 billion in waste-ful improper payments as a resultof the declining error rate. Whencombined with results from lastyear, the total amount of erroravoided since 2009 totals over $20billion. Also, for the first time insix years, the total amount of im-proper payments reported declinedfrom the previous year.

·Recaptured over $1.2 billion inoverpayments from governmentcontractors last year. When com-bined with the roughly $700 mil-lion in overpayments recaptured inthe previous year, the governmentis very near to achieving thePresident’s $2 billion mandate.

These results were driven bysuccesses in specific programswhere results are improving be-cause Federal agencies are increas-ing scrutiny of payments by initi-ating more robust audits, leverag-ing new technologies, or buildingpartnerships with States focusedon improved program integrity. For example:

1) Medicare and Medicaid.The Medicare fee-for-service errorrate fell from 9.1 percent in 2010 to8.6 percent in 2011. Since 2009, the

We Can’t Wait: Agencies Cut Nearly $18 Billion in ImproperPayments, Announce New Steps for Stopping Government

Wasteerror rate has fallen more than 2 per-centage points. The overall error ratefor Medicare programs fell from 10.2percent in 2010 to 8.6 percent in 2011. Since 2009, the error rate has fallennearly 3.2 percentage points.

·Medicare fee-for-service avoidedabout $7 billion in payment errors.

·Medicare Part C avoided about $5billion in payment errors.

·Medicare Part D reported a com-posite error rate for the first time, withan error rate of 3.2 percent, well belowthe government average.

·In addition, the error rate for Med-icaid fell to 8.1 percent in 2011 from9.4 percent in 2010, avoiding about $4billion in payment errors since 2009.

2) Supplemental Nutrition As-sistance Program (SNAP – FormerlyFood Stamps). The error rate for theSNAP program reached an all-timelow, falling to 3.8 percent this year,avoiding a projected $800 million inpayment errors compared to beforethe President issued his directive. The program has decreased its errorrate every year of the Obama Admin-istration. USDA also reduced theprevalence of trafficking to 1 percent. This decline can be attributed toUSDA’s work with States reducingfraud and holding bad actors account-able. Using the latest technology toidentify suspicious activity and put-ting boots on the ground to investi-gate it, USDA has permanently dis-qualified more than 8,300 retail storesover the last ten years. In fiscal year2011, USDA conducted nearly 5,000undercover investigations to counterfraud. In fiscal year 2010 alone, Statesconducted 847,000 fraud investiga-tions, disqualified 44,000 individuals,and recovered $287 million in recipi-ent claims.

3) Pell Grants. The error rate forPell Grants went down to 2.7 percent(2011), avoiding roughly $300 millionin payment errors compared to priorto the President’s directive. In 2010,the Department of Education imple-mented a process to allow FederalStudent Aid applicants filling outonline applications to go to the Inter-nal Revenue Service (IRS) website toretrieve their income information andtransfer it directly to their application.This process helps prevent improperpayments in the Pell Grant Programby making it easier for students andparents to enter the correct tax returninformation and receive the correctamount of student aid. This reformsimplified the aid application processand will continue to reduce improperpayments further as more studentsuse the system in future years.

Other major programs contributingto error rate reductions with improvedresults this year include the EarnedIncome Tax Credit (Treasury), Supple-mental Security Income (Social Secu-rity Administration), and Rental Hous-ing Assistance Programs (Housingand Urban Development).

New Steps to Catch More Wasteand Fraud

The results announced today dem-onstrate that the government is ontrack to meet the President’s directiveto prevent $50 billion in error by 2012and the Administration will continueto ramp up efforts. Nine months ago,the President proposed in his 2012Budget even more aggressive toolsthat will help drive down this waste.If Congress passes these proposals,they will result in more than $160 bil-lion in savings to the Federal Govern-ment over the next decade. As part ofa series of executive actions an-nounced this fall because we can’twait for Congressional Republicansto act, the Administration is launch-ing new pilot programs to further theprogress being made cutting waste

and fraud in Medicare and Medic-aid and stepping up efforts to barbad actors who put taxpayer dollarsat risk for waste and fraud from do-ing business with the Federal gov-ernment.

“Today we have shown realprogress in cutting waste, fraud andabuse, but we still need Congress toact on the President’s proposal,”said Secretary Sebelius. “Until Con-gress acts, we will continue doingeverything in our power to savemoney on behalf of the Americanpeople.”

Secretary Sebelius announcedthat the Department of Health andHuman Services will launch four ad-ditional pilots to reduce the error rateand cut Medicare and Medicaidwaste and fraud:

·Let private inspectors catchwasteful spending before it happensby expanding the use of RecoveryAudit Contractors. At HHS andother agencies, private recovery au-dit contractors normally review pay-ments and identify errors after thepayments are made. Then, theagency must track down and recoverthe improper payments. Last year,private companies recovered hun-dreds of millions of taxpayer dollarsby finding improper payments thathave already been paid out. Theagency will now allow private com-panies to screen certain hospitalpayments before they are made,which will prevent improper Medi-care payments from happening in thefirst place.

·Test changes to outdated hospi-tal billing system to help preventover-billing. Hospitals sometimesperform services as inpatient thatMedicare requires to be outpatient. Right now, when those hospitals billMedicare, HHS does not allow themto re-bill as outpatient. Under thispilot, HHS will allow some claims thatare incorrectly made under the inpa-tient program to be resubmitted un-der the outpatient program. Thismistake—incorrect billing of ser-vices—is a leading cause of error inthe Medicare program and wastestime and money in appeals.

·Change its process for approvingpayments for medical equipmentwith high error rates. One contribu-tor to the Medicare improper pay-ment rate is incorrect reimbursementfor medical equipment that is notmedically necessary. This changewill allow HHS to pilot a new pro-cess for reviewing these medicalequipment claims before they aremade, thus helping to reduce Medi-care improper payments.

·Work with States to improve frauddetection. HHS is initiating a pilotproject under the Partnership Fundfor Program Integrity Innovation totest an automated tool to screen pro-viders for the risk of fraud. Currently,HHS and States lack standardizedMedicaid provider data, which ham-pers detection of potential fraud. Ifsuccessful, this tool will not onlyhelp prevent improper payments byweeding out fraudulent providers,but it will help States focus their re-sources where fraud is most likelyto occur.

Additionally, OMB Director JackLew issued a memo to agencies to-day directing them to step up theiroversight of contractors and grantrecipients in order to eliminate un-necessary risk of waste, fraud andabuse. Specifically, the guidance di-rects agencies to strengthen theirsuspension and debarment proce-dures – tools that allow the Federalgovernment to stop doing businesswith bad actors who put taxpayerdollars at risk.
