DES MOINES, IA - U.S. Attorney Nicholas A. Klinefeldt announced today that the Southern District of Iowa collected $5,607,017.30 in criminal and civil actions in Fiscal Year 2013. Of this amount, $4,094,883.39 was collected in criminal actions and $1,512,133.91was collected in civil actions.

Additionally, the Southern District of Iowa worked with other U.S. Attorney's Offices and components of the Department of Justice to collect an additional $4,108,435.35 in civil cases pursued jointly with these offices.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced today that the Justice Department collected approximately $8.1 billion in civil and criminal actions in the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2013. The more than $8 billion in collections in FY 2013 represents nearly three times the appropriated $2.76 billion budget for the 94 U.S. Attorney's offices and the main litigating divisions in that same period.

"The Department's enforcement actions help to not only ensure justice is served, but also deliver a valuable return to the taxpayer," said Attorney General Holder. "It is critical that Congress provide the resources  necessary to match the Department's mounting caseload. As these figures show, supporting our federal prosecutors is a sound investment."

The U.S. Attorneys' Offices, along with the department's litigating divisions, are responsible for enforcing and collecting civil and criminal debts owed to the U.S. and criminal debts owed to federal crime victims. The law requires defendants to pay restitution to victims of certain federal crimes who have suffered a physical injury or financial loss. While restitution is paid to the victim, criminal fines and felony assessments are paid to the department's Crime Victims' Fund, which distributes the funds to state victim compensation and victim assistance programs.

The largest civil collections were from affirmative civil enforcement cases, in which the United States recovered government money lost to fraud or other misconduct or collected fines imposed on individuals and/or corporations for violations of federal health, safety, civil rights or environmental laws. In addition, civil debts were collected on behalf of several federal agencies, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Health and Human Services, Internal Revenue Service, Small Business Administration and Department of Education. Additionally, the U.S. Attorney's office in the Southern District of Iowa, working with
partner agencies and divisions, collected $2,377,955 in administrative and judicial asset forfeiture actions in FY 2013. Forfeited assets are deposited into the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund and are used to restore funds to crime victims and for a variety of law enforcement purposes. $862,737 in forfeited assets was returned to victims during FY 2013, and $543,406 was equitably shared with state and local law enforcement agencies.

EVENT:
AG MEDIA: Be a part of the soy checkoff's See for Yourself 2014

Join the United Soybean Board (USB) on the 2014 See for Yourself program. This event provides 10 U.S. soybean farmers with an opportunity to see their soy checkoff in action both at home and abroad.

If you would like to be considered for selection to attend the 10-day program, fill out the online application by Jan. 24. Selected media representatives will be contacted by March 1. Travel expenses are eligible for reimbursement by USB. To learn more about the program, visit the See for Yourself webpage on the USB website.

The 70 farmer-directors of USB oversee the investments of the soy checkoff to maximize profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds to increase the value of U.S. soy meal and oil, to ensure U.S. soybean farmers and their customers have the freedom and infrastructure to operate, and to meet the needs of U.S. soy's customers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy checkoff.

West Des Moines, Iowa - Jacobs for Iowa today announced that U.S. Senate candidate Mark Jacobs raised over $400,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013 from contributors.

Fundraising highlights include :

  • Widespread support from Iowans, with contributions received from 57 Iowa counties.
  • Jacobs raised more in six weeks than Joni Ernst, Matt Whitaker, Sam Clovis, and Scott Schaben raised combined in the entire third quarter.
  • Mark has raised more money from Iowans than any other candidate has reported to date.

"Today's fundraising report is another indicator of the support Mark has received because of his jobs and opportunity message since entering the race for U.S. Senate," said campaign manager Brian Dumas.

Dumas added, "When you look at the fact that Mark was able to raise this amount of money in only a six week period, truncated further by two major holidays, it is a strong signal that Mark is running a first-rate campaign, the kind of campaign it will take to defeat Bruce Braley."

From starting a family to adjusting to an empty nest, eagles have many similarities to human families in the Quad Cities.

Consider these facts:

  • Eagles mate for life and often return to the same nest, rebuilding it each year.

  • Parents provide for their baby eaglets by catching and feeding them fish and animals.

  • Eaglets learn to hunt by watching their parents.

While Quad Citians may see the majestic birds soaring throughout the winter, Bald Eagle Days gives residents an opportunity to see the birds up close and learn about their interesting lives. The event takes place Friday, Jan. 10 through Sunday, Jan. 12 at the QCCA Expo Center, Rock Island.

Main shows include the Chasing for Life Disaster Team, Pella Wildlife with wolves and Niabi Zoo with exotic animals. There will also be eagles, owls and other birds of prey. Residents may also take a free Audubon bus tour to see eagles in their natural habitat.

Modern Woodmen's Wings of Life exhibit combines fun and learning with interactive activities for all ages. Guests will progress through the different stages of eagle families and learn about their amazing journey through life.

Interactive exhibits include mini golfing, coloring and flight activities. Participants can also receive free giveaways, get an eagle tattoo, and take a free, digital photo in the eagle family photo station.

Modern Woodmen is also dedicated to local families and their journey through life. The fraternal financial services organization protects families with life insurance and financial products, and improves quality of life with fraternal benefits and programs.

Modern Woodmen has sponsored Bald Eagle Days for more than 25 years, since the event's humble beginnings at the Modern Woodmen home office. Today, this organization's sponsorship includes the live bird and animal shows and field trips on Friday for area school children.
