 Medical errors and inferior care that force patients to repeatedly return to the hospital for care are costing Americans billions in unnecessary health care costs, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said Friday.

 Dairy Farmers of America Inc. is a target of a class-action lawsuit alleging that dairy companies fixed the price of milk by slaughtering cows.
The suit, filed this week in federal court in California, alleges that members of the dairy trade group Cooperatives Working Together — of which DFA is a member — killed more than 500,000 cows between 2003 and 2010 to reduce the supply of milk and inflate its price.
CWT members produce almost 70 percent of the milk consumed in the United States, according to a release from Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, the Seattle-based law firm that filed the suit...

Soon after the U.S. Department of Justice started a legal process to stop the $39 billion acquisition on antitrust grounds, Overland Park-based Sprint (NYSE: S) followed with a lawsuit containing similar allegations.
AT&T (NYSE: S) had a Friday deadline to file the dismissal motion. The filing was no surprise — AT&T attorneys had stated publicly that they didn’t want Sprint’s case to interfere with the department’s case and that they would ask the court to toss Sprint’s allegations...

 Todd Schulte’s foray into the Kansas City restaurant scene started with a boring job selling fish and a conversation about how he would put his two young daughters through college.
He’d heard about a guy in Austin, Texas, who made soup and delivered it to customers via bicycle. The cycling part sounded less than appealing to Schulte, but soup was right up his alley — he’d cooked in Maryland, the island of St. Thomas and Florida before landing in Kansas City. And returning to the stove sounded better than his current gig selling fish...

Kansas City officials are trying to quickly advance a proposal to get Missouri tax credits for the West Edge redevelopment in case those credits are eliminated.
State legislators might get rid of the program through which the building’s developer hopes to get the credits.

Caymus seeks the tax break to defray the cost associated with the estimated $75 million demolition and rebuilding of the office portion of the West Edge project...

The Kansas City-area economy could limp through the rest of this year but experience a rebound during the next two, according to the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce’s 2012 Economic Forecast. However, an alternate prediction envisions a second recession.
Next year, Kansas City could add 19,100 jobs and the following year almost double that amount, according to a best-case forecast. For employees, that could mean fatter paychecks.
But a second recession scenario has the local economy slipping into a three-quarter recession, starting in the fourth quarter of this year, and slowly recovering during the second half of 2012...

The inspector general of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which oversees Freddie Mac, prepared the report. The report also noted that Freddie’s settlement with Bank of America was completed over objections of a senior examiner at the agency.

This company as a whole is very good at what they do and they provide good products at great prices. HOWEVER, the general manger Sean Cockburn (aka Mr. Dickrash by the employees) is the worst excuse of a human being. He treats the employees and the customers as if they all own him something and should kiss his a$$. I'm sure he suffered at the hands of a molester as a child or beaten by his parents, who knows. He has been fired from previous employment for sexual harassment and continues to harass current female employees at his current position. If you so choose to do business with this company, I HIGHLY re commend that you consult and directly contact the one true owner Doug Coplin. He can be trusted and is a man of integrity and worth!!!

I have to say that Baltimore Licensed Movers did a great job with our recent office move - from initial contact for a quote until the final handshake with the crew. The guys arrived on time and were professional and hardworking.
Movers were very careful to ensure all items were protected and loaded on to the truck safely. Even after a long load in on a cold evening they maintained high energy levels for the unload and always took care of our items. I definitely plan on using Baltimore Licensed Movers in the future.

The act lays the foundation for funneling life sciences company taxes into a fund to encourage investment in other life sciences companies.

The Glass Fixer Standard:
A quality glass repair in Orange County is one that can not be seen. You may have noticed a glass repair or two, and if you did, we are sure you were not impressed. What you saw was a poor attempt at a repair. This is becoming a more common occurrence as the glass repair industry matures and companies spring up claiming to restore glass. This is not the quality of repair that you would ever see from The Glass Fixer. If you can see a repair, it wasn't a repair by The Glass Fixer. This is why we confidently offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys! Which is the cardinal reason why I went with Baltimore Certified Movers. They were not cheaper than the other companies when compared. But, on the other hand the prices ranged around 300 plus or minus. The reason why Baltimore Certified Movers beats the odds is their assurance. They guaranteed the price not to go up unlike few other companies and they promised on our first conduct with their polite and I should say very knowledgeable customer rep. I'd rather pay $300 extra but I'm sanguine with my move. I was able to get my equipment and office amenities 4 days earlier due to their early transit and service availability. To make the long story short. Baltimore Certified Movers gave me a perfect service!

 AMC Entertainment Inc. has been a plum of the Kansas City real estate market, one of the few big office tenants looking for space.
It’s on the market no longer.
The nation’s second-largest movie theater chain is moving its headquarters from downtown Kansas City across the state line to the Kansas suburbs — Leawood’s Park Place. The Kansas City Business Journal reported in July that AMC was considering the location.
The choice highlights an ongoing rift between Missouri and Kansas, which have been coaxing companies — and their jobs — across the state line through use of incentives...

 Ending almost a year’s worth of speculation, AMC Entertainment Inc. said it will move its corporate headquarters from downtown Kansas City to Leawood.
The nation’s second-largest movie theater operator said Wednesday that it will relocate its 450 employees and contractors to a new $30 million building at suburban Park Place in the spring of 2013, becoming that mixed-use development’s largest tenant and the latest high-profile blow to downtown Kansas City’s efforts to attract and retain corporate residents...

 Corbin Park LP wants to try auctioning off the 97-acre Overland Park shopping district again on Oct. 24.
The affiliate of Omaha-based Cormac Co. has asked for a Sept. 29 hearing to approve a new sale procedure after an Aug. 30 auction failed to happen because no bid deposits were received.
Corbin Park, a partially developed shopping district at 135th Street and Metcalf Avenue, counts J.C. Penney and Von Maur as tenants. It went into bankruptcy in January 2010 amid financing troubles.
The proposed sale procedure calls for an Oct...

The United Auto Workers union’s contracts with Ford Motor Co. and General Motors expire at 11:59 p.m. It doesn’t look like they’ll reach an agreement by then, so the parties are expected to agree to a short-term extension.

The UAW agreed to an extension with Ford on Tuesday, according to Bloomberg. The move allows more focus on negotiations with GM and Chrysler Group LLC, which appear to be making better progress...

Missouri Senate Republicans who expressed misgivings about the Aerotropolis component of a tax credit and business incentives package postponed scheduled debate on the bill until early next week.

The suit comes just two days after the Country Club Plaza law firm said it would consolidate its 500 employees in the stalled mixed-use development just off the Plaza. Andersen claimed Thursday that West Edge’s owner could not make such agreements without his permission.
