POPS Mafia, Violent Criminals Turn to Medicare Fraud
Some pay homeless people on Los Angeles' Skid Row for Medicare or Social Security numbers to use in fake billing invoices. Others intimidate elderly victims to use their Medicare numbers, federal authorities say. Most Medicare schemes are based in cities such as Miami, Los Angeles, Detroit and Houston. And rather than building an elaborate hierarchy like the Mafia or other gangs, many Medicare con artists use common street criminals to recruit patients and doctors, authorities said. A Medicare scammer could easily net at least $25,000 a day while risking a relatively modest 10 years in prison if convicted on a single count. A cocaine dealer could take weeks to make that amount while risking up to life in prison. "Building a Medicare fraud scam is far safer than dealing in crack or dealing in stolen cars, and it's far more lucrative," said Lewis Morris, lead attorney at the Department of Health and Human Services' inspector general's office.

POPSMichelle Omama and the secret Masonic symbols The swirling cellulite indentations revealed a complex code of Masonic symbols dating back to 1773 and showed various connections between the Freemasons, slavery, Michael Jackson's death, and a previously unrecorded landing of UFO's in pre-1865 Harlem! Author Dan Brown, falsely accused of selling a mish-mash theory, says he's felt vindicated by the news and cannot wait to see the photographic results showing the large ass-print. "Who knows, maybe there's a treasure map there too!"

POPS24 Ridiculously Expensive Everyday Items Part II Okay Coolmaterial.com is a great place, if you can handle the mature language and occasional item... This list just shows the level of ostentation some people will pay for... and Why? The Bluetooth will be gone as soon as you walk on the street with it, the maid will make off with the vacuum cleaner, the Hoodie MIGHT deflect the bullet someone will put into you for being dumb enough to show off the bling like this.. and the Fishing lure will probably end up in some Marlin's stomach and you are out $ 1 Million.. Makes you wonder if it was up to the people today to come out of caves and form civilizations, would the human race survive beyond a single generation? Got to hand it to the designers though, as PT Barnum said, "There is a sucker born every minute!"

POPSHow to germ-proof your home, without going overboard As it turns out, Eichenbaum did not find anything to be too concerned about in the Austin home. There were bacteria almost everywhere, but they were mostly the benign kind found in a normal environment. While most of these microorganisms are commonly found in or on our body, some that were found on the Austins' floor can produce disease -- such as shigella, staphylococcus pneumonia, or staphylococcus aureus -- if they are inhaled, ingested or touch skin breaks, Eichenbaum said. Still, nobody has gotten sick. She offered tips on maintaining a healthy home, while not overdoing it. Having some bacteria is actually a good thing, experts say.
