m4l, in what way are they competitive??? Yes, the Renaults and the Citroens are nice if you like that sort of thing, but even their wines have lost in global competitions. Their cheeses still rank highest.
“am still amazed how the french are able to be that competitive vs us when their work hrs are that low. are they really smarter & more productive than us?”
I walked to the parade, a nice walk from where I am. But it was too early and was I standing forever waiting for the “good stuff”. I DID get to see Ed Towns and Andrew Cuomo (sigh). And was getting a sunburn, so went home before the good floats. Next year, I will do it differently.

Top-Prescribing Medicaid Doctor Used Non-MDs, FBI Says
Sept. 7 (Bloomberg) — The doctor who prescribed more drugs to Medicaid patients than any other in New Jersey ran a medical practice that used phony physicians to see patients, according to a Federal Bureau of Investigation arrest complaint.
Yousuf Masood, 46, billed Medicaid, the government insurance program for the poor and disabled, for thousands of visits by patients who either got no services or were seen by three employees who had no medical license and posed as doctors, according to the FBI complaint.
Masood, who got more than $13.7 million in Medicaid payments in the past year, and his wife, Muruk, 42, the office manager, were charged with fraudulently getting at least
$1.8 million in billings for services by the three employees.
Those employees earned wages as low as $17 an hour at the office in Elizabeth, New Jersey, according to the FBI.
“The defendants are charged with an unconscionable fraud which not only ripped off a vital government program, but exposed patients to treatment by people without medical licenses,†U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman in Newark, New Jersey, said in a statement.
The Masoods and two of the employees, Hakim Muta Muhammad, 32, and Carlos Quijada, 30, were arrested today. The third employee, Hamid Bhatti, 32, was expected to surrender, according to Rebekah Carmichael, a spokeswoman for Fishman.
All five were charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud. The Masoods also were charged with a separate conspiracy count. They are expected to appear later today in federal court in Newark.
Yousuf Masood prescribed $9 million in Medicaid drugs in 2009 while the next-highest doctor prescribed less than
$6 million, according to the arrest complaint.
I guess they weren’t reading their Koran either!!!!! If I were that next highest doctor I’d be outta the country by now!!!!
I live a few blocks off Eastern Parkway, so I got on my bike and checked it out from several vantage points – Kingston, Nostrand, Rogers. Just hung out and watched the people go by. It’s still the only parade I ever attend or enjoy.
