Audits Sting Hospitals, Physicians
In coming weeks, private audit companies will begin scouring mountains of medical records. Their mission: Determine if health care providers erred when billing Medicare and require them to return any overpayments to the federal government. The auditors will keep a tidy percentage for their services. The contractors have shown they're pretty good at their work. In just three years, they've returned more than $300 million to the federal government - and that's just from three states. That experiment is winding down. But a larger, national program will soon take its place. .

The War Against Women
Such acts can land them important posts in government. When atrocities become sufficiently conspicuous and horrific — such as the notorious amputations of arms and legs in Sierra Leone — the international community steps in to initiate a peace process. Usually they bring to the negotiating table all the bad, bad men who have been causing so much trouble and buy them off with positions of power in a new "interim" or "transitional" government. Witness, in another part of the world where women are notoriously badly treated, all those well-known warlords the Afghan people wanted tried for war crimes who somehow wound up in President Hamid Karzai's cabinet, or — after elections advertised as democratic — in parliament. Foday Sankoh had been condemned to death for treason when he was summoned to just such peace negotiations.
Failing the Lohan Test
They probably tell the bill's opponents that they are faking when they say they're faking their opposition. At some point the search for authenticity in state-of-the-art politicians becomes fruitless. A fake "no" vote counts as much as a heartfelt "no" vote. ... 12:01 P.M. Paranoid's Corner II: I'm now so obsessed with the Senate "p.o.s." immigration bill that I think all the news the Bush administration is making--from the President's unusual press conference to his statements on Iran and Iraq to the release of that Osama-Zawahiri message--isn't really designed to influence the public's views on Iran and Iraq or Al Qaeda. It isn't designed to directly influence the public on anything. It's designed to take up media space over Memorial Day so there's less room for angry opposition to the President's immigration bill! It's so obvious....

Vaux's swifts may lose their favorite Monroe chimney
Imagine about 5,000 Vaux's swifts circling and circling just before dark. By the time darkness falls, they're ready to settle in for the night, dramatically swirling down into one Monroe chimney. The chimney works fine for the roosting swifts, who traditionally gathered in hollow old-growth snags. Thousands will meet at traditional stopover locations during spring and fall migration to accumulate fat reserves. Where once there were countless old-growth snags, most in the Monroe area have been cut down, and the swifts have dropped in numbers. Now the swifts' favorite local chimney, the old, tall brick one at Frank Wagner Junior Elementary School in Monroe, may be torn down for safety reasons. The smallest swift in North America visits Monroe twice a year, at the end of April and peaking in mid- to late-May; and beginning in mid-August and peaking in mid-September.
Crackdown on 'upskirting' and 'downblousing'
ELEANOR HALL: A national crackdown on voyeuristic photos and their publication is one of the issues being tackled at the meeting in Melbourne today of Australia's Attorneys-General. The nation's top law makers are considering how to deal with the problem of "upskirting" and "downblousing", in which mobile phone cameras and pen cameras are used to photograph unsuspecting women.

SAMANTHA DONOVAN: Victorian Attorney-General Rob Hulls is urging the states and Commonwealth to come up with a national approach to these problems. ROB HULLS: The practice of what's known as "up skirting", where people can use mobile phone cameras or pen cameras to take photos under people's clothing without their knowledge, and for inappropriate purposes.
