Fedora, Mint, openSUSE, Ubuntu: Which Linux desktop is for you?
We look at the top four Linux distributions to find out which is right for which users.
There are more interesting Linux desktop distributions to choose from than ever before. However, if you're looking for major distros with a great deal of support, you'll want to look at the big four: Fedora, Mint, openSUSE, and Ubuntu.
Each has its own outlook and methods. Thanks to Linux's customizability, you could take any of them and completely revamp it, if you wish. But unless your idea of a good time is operating system hacking, chances are you'll want a distribution that already meets your needs.
Three of the four -- Fedora, Mint, and Ubuntu -- use GNOME as their default desktop interface, although they use it in very different ways. OpenSUSE, on the other hand, uses KDE for its default interface.
Both GNOME and KDE have moved away from their early days when their interfaces resembled that of Windows XP. Each now tries to integrate all available resources and programs, both on the computer and online, into a single, integrated whole.
For the GNOME-based distributions this means, to one extent or another, making the Activities Overview the single portal to access windows, applications and messages. With KDE, this concept is called the Workspace. In all cases, the idea is to give you a customizable environment for running your favorite applications and accessing your information no matter whether it's a local program or a cloud-based application.
There are many ways to try to deliver this integration of the local and Internet resources. Some developers, such as those who worked on Mint, apparently tried to deliver it in a way that's as close as possible to the traditional desktop. Fedora's team, on the other hand, has fully embraced the GNOME approach, while Ubuntu's crew taken a more original approach. Which one will work best for you is really more a matter of personal taste than it is of one being better than the other.
How I tested
I looked at four major Linux distributions: Fedora 16, Mint 12, openSUSE 12.1 and Ubuntu 11.10. I used each for several weeks on multiple PCs.
My primary test box was a Dell Inspiron 530s powered by a 2.2GHz Intel Pentium E2200 dual-core processor with an 800MHz front-side bus. This box has 4GB of RAM, a 500GB SATA drive and an integrated Intel 3100 GMA (Graphics Media Accelerator) chipset.
I also used the Linux distros on a Lenovo ThinkPad R61 laptop with a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7500processor and 2GB of RAM. In addition, I ran them as virtual machines on VirtualBox 4.1.6 on a Dell XPS 8300 with a quad-core Intel 3.4GHz i7 processor, 8GB of RAM, a 500GB SATA drive and an AMD Radeon HD 6700 graphics card.

Vikings All-Pro defensive end Jared Allen comes from a military family and often talks about his great appreciation for those who serve our country.
That's why Allen wanted to do something to recognize and support military veterans. Allen has created a foundation called Jared Allen's Homes for Wounded Warriors. The charity's goal is to build or modify homes for injured soldiers who are returning home from war.
Allen hosted a unique charity golf event in Arizona this weekend to raise money for his cause. Here is column on the event from the Arizona Republic.
In typical Allen style, this wasn't an ordinary golf event. Marines were located at every hole and would scream at players during their swings. One player had to do pushups before hitting his tee shot. And the final nine holes were played at night.

What do you know about Michel de Montaigne (1533-92)?
He was a nobleman, government official, mayor of Bordeaux and wine grower who lived in the Perigord area of southwestern Frances for six decades.
His mother descended from a Spanish Jewish family that lived in Aragon at the height of the Inquisition in the late 15th century. Three member of his family were burned at the stake. They were prominent Marranos — Jews who had gone through the motions of conversion to Christianity but who continued to practice Judaism secretly.
In recent years there has been a spirited renewal of interest in Montaigne and in his singular achievements.
For 36 years a hideous religious civil war between Catholics and Protestants had turned France into a charnel house. In 1571, having witnessed such atrocities as "make me blanch with horror" Montaigne retired from society. He built a bucolic study, began to writes his essays and modestly adopted for his motto "Que sais je? (What do I know)".
In her splendid 2011 book about Montaigne, How to Live: A Life of Montaigne in One Question and Twenty Attempts at an Answer, Sarah Bakewell explains that there was no precedent in literature for his essays — casual, formalistic reflections. They were mostly brief and "Into them he put whatever was in his head: His taste in wine and food, his childhood memories, his playful cat and they way his dog's ears twitched when he was dreaming." All of this, as well as terse accounts of the political, social and religious events around him.
He hated cruelty in any form. He abhorred bigotry and attacked the persecution of witches. He was so pantheistic in vision that he could write "There is ... a certain respect and a general duty of humanity not only to beasts that have life and sense, but even to trees and plants."
He believed that it is man who makes God in his own image, not the other way around. "Religion is a thing of our own contrivance. What kind of truth is it that is true on one side of the mountain and false on the other."
In a time when religious affiliations were forced by the thumbscrew and burning at the stake, he could say "I speak truth, not so much as I want but as much as I dare." He urged "detachment and moderation in opinions and hatred of the wrangling, self-satisfied arrogance that is the enemy of truth."
Ideas from his essays that provide the thrust of his thought on many subjects:
• Man is certainly stark mad. He cannot make a flea, and yet he will make Gods by the dozen.
• How many things that served us yesterday, as articles of faith, today are fables.
• Few men dare publish to the world the prayers they make to Almighty God.
• Nothing is so firmly built as that which we least know.
• Fame and tranquility can never be bedfellows.
• As to fidelity, there is no animal in the world so treacherous as man.
• The man who tries to please the multitude is never done.
• The greatest thing in the world is to know how to be self-sufficient.
• When I consider the absurd titillations of love, the brainless motions it excites, the countenance inflamed with fury and cruelty during its sweetest effects, the grave, solemn, entranced air in any action downright silly, the supreme moment ... bathed like pain, in sighing and fainting — I then believe, with Plato, that the Gods made men for their sport.
Emerson called Montaigne the most honest of all writers. He wrote "Cut these words and they would bleed."
Boorstin, in summing up Montaigne's life and thought offers this tribute: "His enduring miracle to me is this, who picks up his essays in whatever time or circumstance finds them contemporary."

The running back race at Auburn is still open after spring practice. That's OK. "This time last year we really didn't know, either." All Gus Malzahn did in the fall was turn Tre Mason loose for 1,800 yards.The Auburn coach found a running back quick enough last August in Tre Mason, and all he did was set a school rushing record with 1,816 yards.

Walking Out of the World
In Walking Out of the World', triolets, quatrains and villanelles are interspersed with finely modulated free verse, culminating in the striking sequence The Sentences of Death'. Mead's curiously fascinating poems, with their beguiling echoes of the modern masters and their obsessive focus on uncomfortable truths, are mordantly witty as they confront life and death with eyes wide open. Mead is a poet who, once read, is not forgotten.
Matthew Mead was born in Slapton, Buckinghamshire, in 1924. He served in the British army from 1942 to 1947, including three years in India, Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) and Singapore. He has lived in Germany since 1962 and, with his wife Ruth, has translated many German poets, including Johannes Bobrowski, Heinz Winfried Sabais and Nelly Sachs. He was a Penguin Modern Poet in 1970. Walking Out of the World' is the fifth collection of his own poems.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello type experts, I would love suggestions of what people believe to be 'ideal' partners to the H&FJ Ideal family which my university loves. We are undergoing a brand refresh we want to add a serif which compliments Ideal and has also a decent set of styles and weights.
Thank you in advance.
Check out FF Avance.
Fantastic typeface hrant, I personally do love it and will buy it for my own collection but, alas, I feel its too characterful for the institution and what we are after is some thing with more regularity/geometry than Avance. Thank you again hrant.

Question about rooting hormone
I've never used rooting hormone before and I'm thinking about picking some up today. Obviously I can use it on cuttings but what about leaves I'm trying to root? Also, on the plants that I managed to rot the roots, could I use it on them as well?
As you know there are two major auxins available for use to the general public; Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) and Napthalacetic acid (NAA). Schultz TakeRoot is one of the commercially available products containing IBA. Rootone is the other containing NAA and a fungicide, Thiram (tetramethylithiuramdisulfide 4.04%. Both are pretty good for rooting cuttings. I have used both and prefer Rootone because of the anti-fungal. I have found just placing leaf cuttings in a warm humid place to callus will usually promote roots of things like Echeveria.... but these are no-brainers anyway.
I've used Rootone in the past.
With succulents, the rooting hormone encourages faster callusing, which in turn is what
leads to new root primordia/roots. If the cuttings are already callused, I wouldn't bother
with rooting hormone.
Hi CC (I forgot your name or even if you gave it)
You really don't need to use everything you hear or read about. The particular plants you're rooting root readily enough without it.
Some folks consider rooting hormone unnecessary & a waste of money. Other folks consider the best part of rooting hormone to be the anti-fungal it usually contains. I've since learned cinnamon is an antifungal & can be used for the same purpose (combating fungus, not rooting).
To use rooting hormone on leaves is overkill (assuming they're Jade leaves) & completely unnecessary. What the leaves need most is TIME -- save your money (for other plants, I'm sure).
For the plants you've rotted the roots (if they're not already dead), pls. cut ALL the rot off, what you'd want is the cinnamon, for the antifungal.
I keep an old pepper shaker full of cinnamon, sprinkle it as needed, shake the branch or cutting off, repot the plant & then leave it alone for a few days.
Boy, I wish we could learn some first names here.... but that is another subject. Both Pirate Girl and CactusMc are correct. I also grow orchids along with my cactus and succulents. Orchid growers have been using cinnamon forever as an anti-fungal especially for crown rot with Phals. Sometimes it is mixed with rubbing alcohol, allowed to "ferment" for several days producing an aldehyde and pouring off the liquid to be used in a sprayer. Pirate Girl makes another good point regarding the use of hormones and rooting many succulent leaves like Echeveria or Crassula. These usually root very easily without the use of any hormones as long as they are allowed to callus. The hormones are most helpful when trying to root more "woody" stemmed cuttings.
Thanks so much for the advice everyone! This was very helpful! I will be putting cinnamon in my arsenal for anti-fungal! I had no idea! Thanks for being so help to a newbie like myself! It's greatly appreciated!
~Erin~ (just for you bikerdoc)
Something I wrote a while back to post on a different thread. It may not be dead on the mark for this thread, but there is some useful info in it:
Rooting aids
I don't think it's accurate to pitch a particular brand or type of rooting hormone because different plant species respond to different chemicals, whether we are cloning hardwood, summer wood, or herbaceous/tip cuttings. Even though it's generally true that the most effective concentration levels normally vary and can be roughly grouped by the 3 types of cuttings you mentioned, the most effective chemical to use also varies and can be much more important than concentration levels; so, it is a combination of the concentration AND the choice of chemical + type of cutting and time of year that determines the effectiveness of a rooting chemical.
The rooting aids are synthesized forms of the plant hormone/growth regulator 'auxin'. Indole butyric acid (IBA) and naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) are the two most common chemicals that have been found to be reliable in the promotion of rooting in cuttings. IBA is widely applied in general use because it is non-toxic to most plants over a wide range and promotes root growth in a large number of plant species.
Some plants respond better to either IBA or NAA, some respond to ONLY one or the other, some may have a toxic reaction to one but not the other which will lead to poor or no growth and actually, mortality; and some respond best to combinations of both chemicals, or to other variations of either IBA or NAA based on K (potassium). Both IBA and NAA are commonly available in talc or in liquid formulations of varying concentrations.
I do lots of propagating of several hard-to-root species, but only use a rooting aid occasionally for the most difficult. As a generalization, you should know on a per plant basis which chemical and concentration is most apt to be effective before applying it. I have found it mostly unnecessary. Learning a little about the cultural conditions cuttings prefer and some other tricks (like methods of wounding) along with cleanliness will add more to what it takes to be successful at propagating (plants) than rooting aids (except in the very hard to root plants).
I have a small greenhouse and do a LOT of propagation. Rootone works ok and as has been mentioned above, succulents don't really need rooting hormone. They root so easily without it.
For my hardwood cuttings and semi hardwood cuttings I use a product called Dip'N Grow. I use it on shrubs, certain kinds of conifers that do not require grafting and hard to root garden plants. I pretty much can get 95 to 100% success using this product. Please note I do not have any affiliations to this product/company. I am merely indicating what works for me.
I've also had very good success with a product called Clonex. It is a very easy to use product which does not require the mixing as the Dip'N Grow product.
I have had better success with the liquid products than I have had with the powder (rootone).
Good luck with whatever selection or method you choose.
I also don't bother with rooting hormones for succulents and cacti but I don't grow any varieties that I've found difficult to root. I use Dip & Grow for hardwood and semi-hardwood cuttings and rootone w/ fungicide for many others that are difficult to root. I've used both cinnamon and sulfur as a fungicide and prefer sulfur. I always use some type of fungicide on open cuts where I've removed rotted tissue.
My solution for rotted tissue:
1) Excise completely the rotted tissue
2) Spray after the last cut with isopropyl alcohol
3) While still wet, dust with sulfur powder
5) Keep dry
4) Use a clean knife (make sure the final cut, at least, is made with a sterile instrument - spraying its blade with the alcohol will do)
I am new to rooting plants of any kind, but I have just tried a test run with a few rose cuttings with Bontone Rooting Powder I found at Home Depot(Only one I could find in stores in my area, though after further research on this site I may order something different online) and it's only been a few days since I started them in a seed starter mix I had lying around made of mostly sphagnum peat moss and perlite. I also have been rooting various succulent cuttings over the past few months without the use of rooting hormone and has thus far had great success with most varieties, though I have found a few to be difficult. I have two questions hoping to find more great advice from you all, as I have learned a lot from everyone's helpful advice on this site. My first question is similar to the original poster's one question which I didn't see an answer to, though I may have overlooked it, can you use rooting hormone(specifically rooting powder) on succulent leaves? and my second question is can you root aloe varieties from leaves?
Interesting...I was just reading about the use of White Willow Bark to prepare an organic rooting solution. Aspirin, made from White Willow Bark, dissolved in water is recommended as an effective rooting solution. I will try that and let you know how that fares.

Dane cook says that when you cry, you repeat a certain phrase over and over in your head. what is your phrase?
Maybe his head..My thoughts are all over the map
Depends why I'm crying. When my granddaughter was missing I kept repeating *I want my baby.* When my mom was dying, I kept repeating *I can't lose her.*
Yeah. We found her. Her boyfriend had beaten her up and left her unconscious behind a store.
Why wont dane cook go away? Why wont danecook go away? Whyyyy?
^^ We have a winner.
Why did she kick me in the nuts, why did she kick me in the nuts, why ........................
Its mutual.... Let me slip into something more comfortable....
You have a way with words young lady.... Hmmm very comfortable indeed..
As Queen Elizabeth II would say, "I have arrived"
Well this sure beats ice fishing... just look what you've done to my pole!!!
"You're nothing"
I don't think Dane cook is correct. Thats not the phrase i repeat in my head when i cry HA ha. It's what i think about the statement of Dane cook.

NASCAR's France Wary Of "One Voice" From RTA, Calls New Coalition Unnecessary
Published July 22, 2014
CHECK YOUR BLIND SPOT: Fox' Larry McReynolds cited sources as saying that the race teams that are part of the RTA "don't want a big increase" from the new TV contract, as they "just want a little bit of the piece of the pie." McReynolds: "They don't want to be greedy, they don't want to be overaggressive." Sirius XM Radio's Dave Moody noted MWR's Rob Kaufman, who is heading up the RTA indicated renegotiating the TV deal was not a goal of the RTA. Moody: "He said they preferred to go for, in his words, 'lower hanging fruit,' things that they can accomplish by themselves, without having to negotiate with NASCAR or with racetracks or anybody else" ("NASCAR Race Hub," FS1, 7/21). The AP's Jenna Fryer wrote if the RTA's goal is to "seize a larger share of the TV money, that's not a topic any members of the RTA are openly discussing." While it is "NASCAR's court and nobody has to play NASCAR's game," it is "the only game in town for high-performance, profitable racing, and being part of the show means playing by NASCAR's rules." NASCAR "seems to have gotten so big that it's lost sight of the plight of its primary 'stakeholders.'" When a sponsor pulls out, the "whole house of cards can come crashing down." Fryer: "So who can actually blame these owners for not resenting the NASCAR model just a little bit?" It is "unclear if altering the landscape to a franchise model is on RTA's ultimate agenda." The owners for now "insist it's about creating one voice to benefit every team -- and there's a need" (AP, 7/21).

I have an article up at alterNet: 5 Signs the Rich Have Way Too Much Money,
Here's something to read after you get done trying to figure out how to make the mortgage or the rent or the car payment this month. It's a little story about how the other half lives. Well, maybe not the other half, exactly. More like the obscenely wealthy .01%.
What do you do when you just have too darn much money? Let's say you already have your mansion(s), your jet, your yacht, your cars, your $50,000 watches, and you've still got too much money left over. (Yes, this really is a problem some people have.) While many, many Americans are struggling to get by, and a very few ultra-wealthy have too much money, here are five signs that the rich are just too rich.

I have a post up over at Bill Moyers' website: Don't Cut — Lower the Retirement Age and Open Up More Jobs. The main points are:
1) Lowering the retirement age opens up jobs and,
2) Lowering the Medicare eligibility age takes the most expensive people out of the private insurance pool, which lowers everyone else's premiums, and these people then become the lease expensive people in Medicare, which lowers the cost-per-person.

6 Unbelievable Ways the Big Banks Are Scamming You
Five years since the crash, the big banks continue to screw over their customers.
It is going on five years since the financial crash and three years since President Obama signed the meager Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and the big banks are still scamming and conning and ripping off their customers. What a huge surprise.
After the financial crash, we heard about a laundry list of abuses and frauds that ranged from small things, like hidden fees, to pushing minorities into subprime loans and then switching them into more expensive mortgages at signing time, to huge things like selling trillions of dollars in complicated CDO schemes and making bets on derivatives of derivatives without having the reserves to pay off what they owed when the bets went bad.
Of course, no one at the top was prosecuted and the banks were allowed to settle a host of charges (which meant that their shareholders, not the executives who made the decisions, paid the fines). The bad behavior gave these giants a competitive advantage, driving out what good companies there were. So the costly and destructive bad behavior, schemes, cons and scams continue.

A study of finches on the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific – finches are the same birds that were said to have inspired Charles Darwin's groundbreaking work on evolution - has shown that some could be losing their distinctive beaks in response to living near humans.
Finches on the islands have developed different sizes of beak - but when people live in close proximity to the birds, their beaks revert to an intermediate size, the report says. Andrew Hendry, a professor at McGill University in Montreal who led the study, told the Independent newspaper that the evolutionary split within the species was being reversed. "We need to make more effort to enable those species that are in the process of diversifying to continue to diversify and thereby generate new species," he said.
Darwin visited the GalapagosIslands in 1835 The report does not say exactly how humans are causing the evolutionary change – but it implies that increased tourism and migration to the Galapagos are affecting the environment that creates the diversity of finches on the islands.
Darwin visited the GalapagosIslands in 1835
People could have introduced new plants with intermediate-sized seeds that the finches now feed on, the report says.
Single species
Darwin collected specimens of the birds during his visit to the islands in 1835.
He observed that the beaks of the birds had adapted in different species for different purposes, such as crushing seeds, pecking wood, and probing flowers for nectar.
He realised later that because of the islands' isolated location the birds must have evolved from a single species. "One might really fancy that from an original paucity of birds in this archipelago, one species had been taken and modified for different ends," Darwin said in his book, the Voyage of the Beagle.
So closely are birds linked to Darwin's theory that they are known as Darwin's Finches.

Speaking to the New York Times, Rocky admits that Yams had a long history of drug abuse. "He always had a struggle with drugs," Rocky said. "That was his thing."

Nogest-S - Pharmacology:
Estrogens diffuse into their target cells and interact with a protein receptor. Target cells include the female reproductive tract, the mammary gland, the hypothalamus, and the pituitary. Estrogens increase the hepatic synthesis of sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), thyroid-binding globulin (TBG), and other serum proteins and suppress follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) from the anterior pituitary. The combination of an estrogen with a progestin suppresses the hypothalamic-pituitary system, decreasing the secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).
Nogest-S for patients
Vaginal Cream, Oral Tablets, and Transdermal System
This information describes when and how to use estrogens, and the risks and benefits of estrogen treatment.
Estrogens have important benefits but also some risks. You must decide, with your doctor, whether the risks to you of estrogen use are acceptable because of their benefits. If you use estrogens, check with your doctor to be sure you are using the lowest possible dose that works, and that you dont use them longer than necessary. How long you need to use estrogens will depend on the reason for use.
Additional Information for the Climara System: The Climara system that your doctor has prescribed for you releases small amounts of estradiol through the skin in a continuous way. Estradiol is the same hormone that your ovaries produce abundantly before menopause. The dose of estradiol you require will depend upon your individual response. The dose is adjusted by the size of the Climara system used: the systems are avaialble in 4 sizes.
Nogest-S Interactions
Certain endocrine and liver function tests may be affected by estrogen-containing oral contraceptives. The following similar changes may be expected with larger doses of estrogen:
Increased sulfobromophthalein retention; increased prothrombin and factors VII, VIII, IX, and X; decreased antithrombin 3; increased norepinephrine-induced platel et aggregation; increased thyroid binding globulin (TBG) leading to increased circulating total thyroid hormone, as measured by PBI, T4 by column, or T4 by radioimmunoassay. Free T3 resin uptake is decreased, reflecting the elevated TBG; free T4 concentration is unaltered: impaired glucose tolerance; decreased pregnanediol excretion; reduced response to metyrapone test; reduced serum folate concentration; increased serum triglyceride and phospholipid concentration.
Nogest-S Contraindications
Estrogens should not be used in women (or men) with any of the following conditions:
1. Known or suspected cancer of the breast except in appropriately selected patients being treated for metastatic disease.
2. Known or suspected estrogen-dependent neoplasia.
3. Known or suspected pregnancy.
4. Undiagnosed abnormal genital bleeding.
5. Active thrombophlebitis or thromboembolic disorders.
6. A past history of thrombophlebitis, thrombosis, or thromboembolic disorders associated with previous estrogen use (except when used in treatment of breast or prostatic malignancy).

Statute of Limitations Medical Records document sample
Medical Records Fact Sheet Update Effective January 2009 Retention of Medical Records Medical considerations are the key basis for deciding how long to retain medical records. Rules relating to the maintenance of patient records are to be found in the American Medical Association, Council on Ethical and Judicial Affairs, Code of Medical Ethics. Current Opinion 7.05. Under Ohio Law (R.C. §4731.22 (B)(18)), violations of the AMA ethical rules can result in disciplinary action by the Ohio State Medical Board. Most states, including Ohio, do not have a general state law that requires records be kept for a minimum length of time. Ohio Revised Code §2913.40 (D) mandates the retention of records associated with Medicaid for a period of at least six (6) years after reimbursement for the claim is received by the physician. It is recommended that records relating to a Medicare patient be kept for at least six (6) years after the physician received payment for the service. Medicare's Conditions of Participation requires five (5) year retention. Managed care contracts should be consulted to see if they provide any specified period of retention of medical records. In all cases, medical records should be kept for the length of tine of the statute of limitations for medical malpractice claims. Under Ohio Law an action for medical malpractice must be brought within one year after the cause of action "accrues" (R.C. §2305.113). However, there are various exceptions or special rules. For example, the statute of limitations in wrongful death cases is two years after the date of death. In the case of a minor, the statute of limitations does not begin to run until the minor has reached his or her 18th birthday. The statute can be "tolled" or otherwise extended in other situations, and the date on which a cause of action "accrues" can vary. As a practical matter, all of this makes it difficult to define the Ohio statute of limitations with absolute certainty. If you are discarding or destroying old records, patients should be given the opportunity to claim the records or have them sent to another physician. The AMCNO recommends that physicians keep medical records indefinitely, if feasible. Update on Charging for Copies of Medical Records A physician who treated a patient should not refuse for any reason to make records of that patient promptly available on request to another physician presently treating the patient, or, except in limited circumstances, refuse to make them available to the patient or a patient's representative (not an insurer). A written request signed by the patient or by what the law refers to, as a "personal representative or authorized person" is required. Ohio Revised Code §3701.74 obligates a physician to permit a patient or a patient's representative to examine a copy of all of the medical record. An exception arises when a physician who has treated the patient determines for clearly stated treatment reasons that disclosure of the requested record is likely to have an adverse effect on the patient, in which case the physician is to provide the record to a physician chosen by the patient. Medical records should not be withheld because of an unpaid bill for medical services. Ohio law establishes the maximum fees that may be charged by health care provider or medical records company that receives a request for a copy of a patient's medical record. Ohio law provides for certain limited situations in which copies of records must be provided without charge, for example, where the records are necessary to support a claim by the patient for Social Security disability benefits. EFFECTIVE JANUARY 2009, the maximum fees that may be charged, are as set forth below. (1) The following maximum fee applies when the request comes from a patient or the patient's representative. a) No records search fee is allowed; b) For data recorded on paper: $2.84 per page for the first ten pages; $0.59 per page for pages 11 through 50; $0.24 per page for pages 51 and higher For data recorded other than on paper: $1.94 per page c) Actual cost of postage may also be charged (2) The following maximum applies when the request comes from a person or entity other than a patient or patient's representative. a) A $17.48 records search fee is allowed; b) For data recorded on paper: $1.15 per page for the first ten pages; $0.59 per page for pages 11 through 50: $0.24 per page for pages 51 and higher For data recorded other than on paper: $1.94 per page c) The actual cost of postage may also be charged Ohio Law requires the Director of Health to adjust the fee schedule annually, with the adjustment to be not later than January 31st of each calendar year, to reflect an increase or decrease in the Consumer Price Index over the previous 12-month period. If you have any questions regarding this fact sheet or other practice management issues, please contact the AMCNO at (216) 520-1000 ext 102.

Nearly 100 are killed in unrest in China
Ethnic strife persists despite government crackdown in westAugust 3, 2014 11:28 PM
Share with others:
BEIJING -- It was a bloody week in China's far west, with nearly 100 people killed in unrest that the authorities have characterized as terrorism but that Uighur advocacy groups have said is a consequence of a sweeping security crackdown aimed at silencing opposition to the government's hard-line policies in the region.
The outbreak of violence in Xinjiang amid an overwhelming show of security appears to be the worst since 2009, when at least 200 people died during several days of ethnic rioting in the regional capital, Urumqi.
The state-run news media Sunday provided new details of the most serious episode, a clash last Monday in Yarkand County.
A report said that 35 ethnic Han Chinese had been killed and that 59 people described as terrorists had been shot dead by the police.
The report, published by Tianshan, a news portal run by the Xinjiang regional government, said two Uighurs also had been killed during what it described as a rampage by masked, knife-wielding assailants who attacked cars and passers-by in Yarkand, a predominantly Uighur municipality that sits astride the ancient Silk Road that once connected China to Central Asia and beyond.
In a separate episode, security forces in the nearby city of Hotan killed nine "terrorists" July 27, the official Xinhua news agency reported Friday.
It was unclear why the authorities had waited nearly a week to disclose details of the confrontations in Hotan and Yarkand.
The police have barred foreign journalists from the area, making it difficult to assess the government's version of events.
Critics say that bloodshed, which included the assassination of a prominent Muslim cleric Wednesday in the city of Kashgar, suggests that Beijing's high-profile campaign to contain violence in the region may be aggravating tensions among the region's Uighurs, a Turkic-speaking minority, some of whom complain of discrimination and restrictions on Islamic religious practices.
In a special meeting Saturday, the region's top Communist Party leaders vowed to continue a yearlong security campaign, begun in May, that seeks to root out Islamic extremists who have been cast as the primary enemy of ethnic unity in Xinjiang.
During the meeting, Zhang Chunxian, the party secretary of Xinjiang, employed provocative language, vowing to "exterminate" what he said was a "savage and evil" army of separatists who the government contends are influenced -- and in some cases directed -- by extremists from overseas.
"We have to hit hard, hit accurately and hit with awe-inspiring force," Tianshan quoted Mr. Zhang as saying. "To fight such evils we must aim at extermination. To cut weeds we must dig out the roots."
The campaign includes a new identification card that Uighurs say restricts their ability to move through the region, and policies that discourage women from wearing veils.
Uighur exile groups have disputed Beijing's version of the recent unrest, saying the government exaggerates the role of outside instigators and ignores the underlying issues that are fueling Uighur discontent.
"China is distorting the real situation of the Uighur struggle," Dilxat Rexit, a spokesman for the World Uyghur Congress in Germany, said in an email. "This so-called charge of terrorism is a way for the government to avoid taking responsibility for the use of excessive force that causes so many casualties."

Good hotel...bad phone service
The hotel was good, but when we checked out we were charged $60.00 for phone calls. The only calls we made were with a pre paid phone card, only one call got through, the other 4 or 5 calls were not connected. I told this to the front desk but
they insisted every time you pick up the phone ther is a charge. I agreed, but thought it should be about a dollar or two if the call is not connected. They insisted the $60 is right, and we had to pay it. All I can say is do not pick up the phone in the room!
There is a 555 Buss that is free for visitors. We didn't find this out until the day before we left.

Ficus Elastica question....................
I saw this plant in a greenhouse and was going to pass it up because most of the lower stems are bare, but I couldn't resist for only $3.99.
What I was wondering............when I eventually transplant in into another pot, can I put it in the pot deeper so that some of the bare stem is under the soil line or is that a bad idea? I would like it to look fuller, with not much bare stem showing.
Hey Toni.........did you mention that you have birds? What kind? I have a Blue Crowned Conure.
Plant at the same depth, but prune the growing tips off each branch to force a fuller plant. Prune just the tip & last leaf off the tallest/thickest branch. Prune the shortest branch back to just above the second leaf from the bottom, and prune the middle (thickness) branch at a ht half-way between the tall & short branch. I would wait to do this until late June. This will stimulate lots of branching & fuller foliage - a plant that will be most pleasing to the eye.
You could also Air Layer.
Blue Crown, beautiful bird..I have 4 Cockatiels. We had a Jendey, but unknowingly, my dh walked out of the house with Sunrise on his shoulder..more to the story...
Very colorful F. Rubber Tree..Great price, too.
Hey, how'd you know I'd open the thread?? lol..Toni
Ok, I guess I have no choice. While I don't mind pinching the growing tips of smaller plants, for some reason it kills me to prune back branches or stems of large plants and large-leaved plants. I'll have to muster up some courage.
Thanks, Al
Toni, maybe air layering would be less traumatic for me...lol. Thanks.
I had a feeling you'd open the thread. :) I love cockatiels. I had a cockatiel for over 19 years. She laid over 110 eggs during her lifetime. Sorry about Sunrise.
Elkay, female or male? How old? Can he/she talk/whisle..Conures are little clowns. Big show-offs..lol.
Mystic, my White-face is 15, boo hoo..he too has been, kind of a Stud. lol..he's outlived three wives.
Did you breed her or let the eggs sit? 110 eggs! Wow.
Mystic and wives bred 5-6 yrs..in all that time they had approximatelyd 75 babies...but 110???
I never planned on breeding birds, but they did. lol..2-yrs-ago I removed the nest box, 'I never planned on buying one in the first place; a last minute decision.'
Elkay, if you don't like pruning, do you think you'd like air layering?
You can always Air Layer one trunk at a time, see if it roots, etc.
If you'd don't care to do either, how about a tall pot? lol.
How much space is between soil line to lowest leaves? It doesn't look like there's much space by the picture.
17 yrs is up there..I'm sure you had many good years w/your Tiel...
Elkay, I bought one of those about 2 months ago; Marble Queen, I think?
Single stem, about the same size as your largest... since the leaves are so darned big I'm going to let it get some height before pruning. You've got some nice bark coming on that largest stem :D
But those leaves - wow! - they sure are pretty! I couldn't resist when they caught my eye.
Al, if you check back in: will F. elastica's leaves miniaturize eventually if the tree is kept small?
It's the natural growth habit for Ficus leaves to get progressively larger on each branch as the branch extends. IOW, each leaf occurring along a branch will be larger than the last. Two factors can at times semi-trump that growth habit. Those are the plant being root bound or exposed to brighter light (both cause smaller leaves & shorter internodes). The other thing that reduces leaf size is efficient pinching. By allowing a branch to extend to 4-5 leaves and then pinching it back to 2 leaves, you maximize the number of leaves and branches. The more growing points within a given volume of canopy, the smaller the leaves will be because the tree will be able to spend less energy on each leaf.
Marquest - you can sometimes cut a very thin horizontal notch above a leaf or old leaf bundle scar where you want a new branch to grow, which will disrupt auxin flow to the leaf below. It tips the balance in that area to another hormone (cytokinin) that helps stimulate dormant buds in leaf axils (crotches) or above leaf bundle scars. Summer is the best time to do this.

Yep that was the route I chose. I did not have the nerve to cut it down and try to root. It worked I have two branches now. I just took an exacto knife and went to work. LOL
Does anyone know the number of variegated Ficus Elasticas available?
GB's mention 'Marble Queen.' Never heard or seen this color. GRavy, do you have a picture?
Or maybe it's light and environment?
Albert, in old American movies, there's always a Palm in the back ground. Toni
Toni - there's one lone leaf on one of the stems that is 1.5 inches from the soil and the next leaf up is 3.5 inches from the soil line. I know it's not real bad, but I am expecting the lower leaves to drop, I guess.
Maybe I'll try the exacto knife technique. How far into the stem do you make the cut? Do you actually remove a small piece?
Patrick the conure is 24 yrs old - I think he's a male, but I never had him surgically sexed. He says "Hello" and something that sounds like "What you doing?" and "Ow". And he can scream like there's no tomorrow!
I only had the one tiel so, no babies, and I didn't even want her to lay eggs - I was always worried she would get egg bound.
I also had a Red Lored Amazon and a Congo African Grey.
"Maybe I'll try the exacto knife technique. How far into the stem do you make the cut? Do you actually remove a small piece?"
If you are afraid like me that rooting might not work I think the exacto cut is the best. This is what I did....
- It was summer about the middle of June
- Find a hump a spot that looks like there was a leaf
- Below this leaf line I pushed the point of the exacto knife straight in. NOT a cut but something like a deep stick.
Josh, that's one problem using common names, 'which I am guilty of doing.' To be honest I don't know many Haworthia names, common or otherwise.
Gravy, I've seen Ficus Elasticas, Sylvie. You said Sylvie then changed it to Sylive. lol. I think it's Sylvie.
I wonder how many variegated RT's are in existance.
Elkay..The grass is always greener. I have two RT's. One green, one variegated. I'd like to shape the green so it's a Standard, one trunk, tree, but afraid, not to mention don't know how it's done. The variegated has several stems, I dont want to touch that guy.
You're trying for compact, I want one trunk..the grass is always greener..........lol
AWWW, Patrick is peaking his head out the curtain. Is he in the shower? Perhaps, he doesnt' want others to see him, in the buff. lol. He's adorable.
If you really wanted to know his/her sex, there are centers where ppl send a feather..for a fee, of course.
It's probably not very important..all that matters is that you love Patrick.
I had a Timneh AG, Jenday Conure and Catalina Macaw..long story. I really miss these guys/gals..Except for the Cataliina, neither AG or Conure were SS'd.
I too worry about egg binding..Mystic's 2nd wife died from egg binding..By the time I figured the problem (2 days) it was too late..made an avian vet appt for the following day, but it was too late. She died in my arms.
Elkay, good luck with your Ficus..I'm sure it'll be fine.

It is not safe to sleep onb your back when pregnant
Ooh trying not to think about food, Misspee2. And try to make fresh fruits as part of your snacks will help you a lot. I had the same problem before and I tried it, worked out perfectly. All the best. Brenda.
I avoid eating, I'm 6 weeks preggies, I really don't enjoy food anymore, everytime I think about eating, get so emotional and the worse part is I get so hungry it weakens me.
