Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office press release Sept. 23,2014 A methodical, nine-hour effort by Gloucester County's Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) unit began with a gunshot inside a West Deptford Township NJ townhouse shortly before 2 p.m. on Monday (9/22). After repeated attempts to communicate with the shooter, detect his location with mobile robotic units inside the two-story and basement dwelling and deployment of irritant gas to force him out of the residence, a SWAT team entered the structure and found his body in a basement closet at 11:24 p.m. The actions taken by SWAT to end a standoff were "a progression" the team typically follows, said Det.

Each step, it's hoped, "will elicit a response" from a barricaded individual, Hoyle said. "Obviously, it didn't." The eventual floor-to-floor and room-to-room search of the interior... Read more →

Michele Kent Provides Perspective on Long-Term Care at Panel NJ Spotlight Conference Trenton, NJ- September 22, 2014- This month, LeadingAge New Jersey’s President and CEO Michele Kent presented at the NJ Spotlight Conference entitled “The Future of Long-Term Care in New Jersey.” Kent was a featured panelist on the topic of “Future of Nursing Homes & Palliative Care.” “Thanks to the many improvements in technology, in medicine, and in payment structure, many seniors may never have to enter a nursing home,” stated Kent. “This has fueled the development and exponential expansion of Home & Community Based Services (HCBS). These changes, innovations and shifts in public policy are, as Martha Stewart would say, ‘a good thing.’ At the same time, we must ensure the continuum of care, including a cadre of skilled nursing beds.

(NewsUSA) - The recent government shutdown inconvenienced many Americans -- from federal workers, to tourists -- but how did it impact those looking for work? The health care debate was among the main catalysts for the shutdown, with both parties claiming to be the voice of the public, but has the voice of the job seeker been drowned out as a result? A new national poll asked those very questions to find out what was more important to job seekers -- a paycheck or health insurance. The result? The majority of unemployed Americans (77 percent) would apparently take the job, even if it meant no health insurance. Online career network Beyond.com surveyed over 5,000 job seekers from across the country to find out how the government shutdown and the technical frustrations with the health care rollout impacted their employment search. The survey comprised a dozen questions to determine if healthcare... Read more →

In a 114-84 vote, the Pennsylvania House of Representatives Monday once again approved the $2-per-pack Philadelphia cigarette tax for city schools. The measure could get a vote in the Senate as soon as Wednesday. Gov. Tom Corbett has pledged to sign the bill upon passage. The Philadelphia School District is counting on the cigarette tax to generate $49 million this fiscal year to avoid a slate of more than 1,000 layoffs that district officials warn would turn schools into "empty shells." In order to generate this revenue, the district says collections must begin by Oct. 1. House Majority Leader Mike Turzai, R-Allegheny, assured school Superintendent William Hite in August that the district could count on cigarette tax revenue by October. The House first passed the cigarette tax on July 2, but disagreements with the Senate over unrelated items trapped the omnibus measure in a game of legislative pingpong. That game... Read more →

Gerhard Arthur Puff Gerhard Arthur Puff took his first steps toward a life of crime at the age of 20 when, in his home city of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, he was arrested on June 21, 1934 and convicted on a charge of disorderly conduct.

HOUSTON, Sept. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) this week issued quality and financial performance results showing that Medicare Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) have improved patient care and produced hundreds of millions of dollars in savings for the program. In addition to providing more Americans with access to quality, affordable health care, the Affordable Care Act encourages doctors, hospitals and other health care providers to work together to better coordinate care and keep people healthy rather than treat them when they are sick, which also helps to reduce health care costs. ACOs are one example of the innovative ways to improve care and reduce costs. In an ACO, providers who join these groups become eligible to share savings with Medicare when they deliver that care more efficiently. ACOs in the Medicare Shared Savings Program (Shared Savings Program) and Pioneer ACO Model generated over $372 million... Read more →

TAXPAYERS FOR COMMON SENSE Volume XVI No.38: September 19, 2014 As the first major Atlantic hurricane Eduardo formed this week, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) was brewing up its own storm. Behind closed doors and with little public input, FEMA changed the rules this summer for a number of its programs designed to protect people from the harm of future disasters. Changes that will put lives, property, and taxpayer dollars at risk. Floods are horrific events. Even when people escape, fast moving flood waters can decimate an entire town. And the slow creeping floods where water filled with soil runoff, sewage, and countless chemicals lingers for weeks or months can be even worse. In their wake is a moldy, mildewed, grime covered wasteland where everything from your home to your wedding album is lost. To help keep people from having to experience these tragedies again and again, FEMA established... Read more →

"Time Inc.'s proposal to hollow out its own company is simply not acceptable. Management wants the ability to send 160 editorial jobs overseas, which would be a massive blow to some of the nation's most important and respected magazines," said Newspaper Guild of New York President Bill O'Meara.

(NEWSUSA)- Have you ever wondered how all of those colorful auto dealership promotion pamphlets arrive in the mail at the exact moment you are contemplating a new car purchase? Oddly enough, they are perfectly timed to coincide with your vehicle-buying needs -- and there's a reason behind it. Consider this: In 2012, studies showed that more than 90 percent of consumers began their car search online. This insight, according to Ken Schwartz, founder of InMarketSolution (IMS), a Chicago-based marketing company geared specifically to the auto industry and its potential buyers, provides dealerships with a treasure trove of demographic information. "Consumer data is abundant and valuable, yet many dealers fail to fully exploit its potential," says Schwartz. "In this way, we use best-of-breed data to identify consumers currently in the market to buy a car." The way it works is that IMS uses proprietary data from its InMarket Buyers List to...

(NewsUSA) - Pet owners love their four-legged friends. In fact, many are considered a part of the family. However, one thing that dog and cat lovers hate are the fleas that ultimately find their way onto their beloved pet and into the home. "Protecting your dog from fleas is an important part of responsible pet care," says Caryn Stichler, vice president of marketing for Sergeant's Pet Care Products. "Fleas cause distress for pets, and can cause a condition called Flea Allergy Dermatitis." Fleas, which can live both inside and outside of the home, can transmit tapeworms to animals, and their bites commonly cause skin irritation and itching. In fact, if you see your pet twisting into pretzle-like shapes trying to scratch certain body parts, chances are they have an allergy to the saliva of fleas -- or flea allergy dermatitis. The best approach to managing an infestation is prevention. Giving... Read more →

Reform measures aimed at altering cash for scrap practices (TRENTON) – Legislation authored by Senator Donald Norcross (D-Camden/Gloucester) aimed at deterring the rampant theft of copper and other base metals plaguing private and public property alike was advanced by the Assembly Regulated Professions Committee today. “Widespread metal theft has caused thousands of dollars of damage to private and public properties throughout the state,” said Senator Norcross. “Our cities and towns, already stretched thin financially due to the country’s dire economic circumstances, are often victims to vandals looking for their next dollar.” According to a report by the National Insurance Crime Bureau, metal theft claims have increased 81 percent from January 2009 to December 2011. As the value of metals like copper continues to rise, so do incidents of theft, with thieves looking for a quick cash payment for stolen goods. Bill A2074/S833 seeks to deter such activity by removing the... Read more →
