quicklist: 1title: 'And Mr. Saverin spits in their eye, he spits in the eye of the American people.'text: Sens. Chuck Schumer and Bob Casey delivered a scathing status update this week for "eye-spitting" Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin: Stop attempting to dodge your taxes by renouncing your U.S. citizenship or never step foot in the country again.

"This guy just thinks he can rip us off by engaging in this scheme," Casey, D-Pa., said at a Capitol Hill news conference. "We've got troops overseas that are sacrificing on our behalf every day, all the values that we hold dear. And Mr. Saverin spits in their eye, he spits in the eye of the American people. It's an insult. He should be held accountable."

Saverin, 30, relinquished his U.S. citizenship in September 2011 before the company announced its planned initial public offering of stock, which will debut this week. The move was likely a financial one because he owns an estimated 4 percent of Facebook and stood to make $4 billion when the company went public.

quicklist: 2title: 'We've all been put on this Earth to help each other through.'text: A Kentucky businessman showed a heart of gold by buying the entire inventory of a closing K-Mart and donating it to charity. Rankin Paynter, the owner of a Winchester firm that buys up surplus goods, decided to donate the merchandise to a local charity.

"It makes me feel good [to give to charity]," Paynter said. "I come from real poor background. I'm talking really poor. I was able to pull myself out and make a lot of money."

Thanks to Paynter's donation, the Clark County Community Services, which also works with God's Pantry to feed the needy, may be able to clothe every in-need family in Winchester and Clark County.

Paynter, who gave the organization $1,000 for movers and also footed two months of rent to store the inventory for the non-profit, says he was told by the organization, "there's going to be enough money for everything. We may have enough money for two to three years."

The feeling of helping cannot be described but he says it's a good feeling.

"We've all been put on this earth to help each other through. If I can help people through, I'm happy," he said.

quicklist: 3title: '[The] stated reason for [her] termination was that she said 'bye bye' instead of 'goodbye'.'text: Melodee Megia, a former employee at The Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino in Las Vegas who was fired when she was eight-months pregnant, says she was told the reason was that she said "bye bye" on the telephone instead of "goodbye".

Megia, 37, has filed a lawsuit against the hotel for pregnancy discrimination and a class-action suit for workers' wages, saying employees were not paid for the time they had to wait for and change into their uniforms on a daily basis.

Megia worked at the hotel from November 2010 until August 2011, when she said she was fired "based on her pregnancy," according to court papers filed with the Clark County District Court in Nevada last week.
