(PRWEB) October 14, 2013
According to the Corporate Whistleblower Center, "Medicare fraud within the home healthcare industry is rampant. Home healthcare is a huge business, and we believe fraud and overbilling are at epidemic levels."
One of the most common types of Medicare fraud within the home healthcare industry involves kickbacks for referrals of items or services covered by Medicare, which is in violation of the Anti-Kickback Act and Stark Statute. For example, on September 18th, 2013 the Department of Justice reported that the owner of a home healthcare agency was ordered to pay $15 million for her alleged role in a $5 million Medicare fraud scheme. According to the Department of Justice, the owner of a homecare health company allegedly paid kickbacks to physicians for referring patients to her homecare medical company, regardless if the patient was eligible for home health services or not. http://CorporateWhistleblowerCenter.Com
The case was brought to light by this companies receptionist, who will receive a portion of the settlement for her information.
"There is almost no way to prove a home healthcare agency is defrauding Medicare without the help of an insider," says the Corporate Whistleblower Center. "Because the reward potential can be so significant, we are urging home healthcare insiders with proof of fraud exceeding $1 million to call us anytime at 866-614-6466."
Potential whistleblowers who call the Corporate Whistleblower Center will be informed about the requirements of reward programs. If proof of wrongdoing is sufficient, the group will help the whistleblower prepare their information, then put them in contact with the nation's leading whistleblower attorneys.
Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistle Blower Center:
The Corporate Whistleblower Center emphasizes that there are high quality cases and opportunities available to whistleblowers in every state. Any type of insider or employee who possesses significant proof of their employer or a government contractor defrauding the federal government is encouraged to contact to Corporate Whistleblower Center anytime at 866-714-6466, or they can contact the group via their web site at http://CorporateWhistleBlowerCenter.Com

As more people try to get an early jump on the holiday, Tuesday before Thanksgiving is becoming the new Wednesday before Thanksgiving.
Tuesday isn't expected to be quite as busy as the nation's biggest travel day of the year, but if recent trends continue, it won't be far behind. At Maryland toll plazas, it's already soared past the Sunday after the holiday as the year's second busiest day.

Much like Arizona
My eyes don't shed tears, but boy they pour when...
from Frank Ocean – Thinkin Bout You Lyrics on Genius
No one made a song about it, but it doesn't rain much in Arizona either; he's comparing his tears to raindrops again.
Also, this could be a super-deep reference to the film Raising Arizona (1987), where the only character who does not cry at some point in the movie is Nathan Arizona Jr
Looking at it more literally, this basically means that he's a guy who doesn't normally show that much emotion; guys generally aren't as known for showing as much emotion as much as women. Despite all of that, he still weeps on the thought of his significant other.

THE Australian government has set up a task force to try to reduce the level of lead in young children. The main culprit is lead in petrol, so the task force will examine the potential for public transport and alternative fuels to reduce exposure to lead.
The group, which is chaired by environment minister Ros Kelly, aims to get the level below 100 millionths of a gram per litre of blood for all children under the age of four. This figure is the National Health and Medical Research Council's revised "level of concern" for lead.
But a recent report from the US National Academy of Sciences noted adverse effects even at this level of lead in the blood. These included behavioural disorders and impaired learning in children, and higher blood pressure in adults. An American committee chaired by Bruce Fowler of the University of Maryland said more research on the ...

Gov. Isa Yuguda of Bauchi State has called on traditional rulers in the state to be fair and just to their subjects to ensure peaceful co-existence among the people.
Yuguda made the call on Monday in Bauchi while addressing 17 newly-appointed district heads in the state.
He recalled that traditional rulers in the past were peace makers due to their closeness to the majority of the people.
He urged the new district heads to imbibe the spirit of peace and harmony for peaceful co-existence among their people.
Yuguda observed that evil doers had, in the past, tried to ensure that crisis permeated in every spectrum of the society but without success.
He said that the state government, in conjunction with security operatives, would continue to ensure safety of lives and property of the people.
The governor advised that, in spite of the religious, tribal and political affiliations of their subjects, traditional rulers should be fair and just to enable the current peaceful co-existence in the state to prevail.
The District Head of Madangala, Alhaji Adamu Aliyu, who responded on behalf of the others, thanked the governor for creating the 17 new districts in the state, and appointing them to occupy the stools.
Aliyu assured that they would be loyal to the state government and their subjects, adding "we will ensure that peace prevails in our domains." (NAN)

VIDEO/POLL: Proponents, opponents of Hometown Democracy lay out pros, cons of amendment
NAPLES - Click here to read comments from our chat with readers about Home Democracy
Voting for it has been called a move to "put the power back into the people's hands" and "pulling the pin on a hand grenade for the state of Florida."
Either way, both sides agree — voters need to make their voices heard on Amendment 4 this fall.
Hometown Democracy, the nickname of Amendment 4, was the topic of a public forum Tuesday sponsored by the Naples Daily News and the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce.
Amendment 4, which will appear on the November ballot, would enable the average voter to weigh in on any amendment to their local government's growth management plan.
Former state Sen. Burt Saunders began the discussion Tuesday evening by explaining to the crowd of about 50 people that proponents of the amendment believe that comprehensive land use plans are being developed at the will of developers. He said proponents want the public to have veto power over all major land use decisions.
"The argument is that local governments do not respect these plans," he said.
Saunders said opponents argue there would be a new level of spending and growth will be driven more than ever by deep pocket special interests. Add to that the voters becoming overwhelmed by everything they would have to vote on.
To illustrate the point, Saunders told participants that if Hometown Democracy had already been adopted and was in place during the last regular election, residents in Orange City, Fla., would have faced a 40-page ballot filled with more than 400 initiatives to amend the city's comprehensive plan.
Andrew Dickman, a land use attorney from Naples who represented Hometown Democracy, said since the Growth Management Act was adopted in 1985, sprawl has not been contained and the public has had no say in that matter.
"Amendment 4 will level the playing field and give citizens the opportunity to vote on plans that affect them," he said.
Clifford Schulman, co-chair of the Environmental and Land Development Practice of the international law firm of Greenberg Traurig, LLC, took the other side of the coin, saying Amendment 4 was bad for Florida.
"It won't be just major changes to the master plan, it will be all changes to the master plan," he said.
Schulman used the example of St. Petersburg Beach to illustrate his point as to why Hometown Democracy won't work. He said the community adopted something similar through referendum and the result was increased taxes and lost jobs, among other things.
"If Hometown Democracy cannot work in a community of 10,000, what makes you think it will work in a state of 18 million?" he asked. "There were 29,000 amendments to comprehensive plans in Florida last year."
Schulman argued that should Amendment 4 pass, development on the state's eastern coast will be dictated by those who live on the west coast.
"This will disenfranchise communities," he said. "Your neighbor is now going to tell you what you can do with your property."
Dickman disagreed. He said opponents are trying to pit people against one another and instill fear in voters. He added that some of the amendments to the comprehensive plan would not make it to the ballot unless approved by the county commission.
"This isn't about swimming pools and fences," he said. "This is about long-range, comprehensive planning."
Dickman said not one report done on Florida's growth management said the state's growth management plan was working. In fact, he said, they said it was not working.
"This amendment is the solution to the problem," he said. "It levels the playing field."
Schulman said he thought it took away the playing field. He said developers will no longer need to meet with neighbors. Instead, they will pay public relations firms to advertise on television to all voters to get their point across.
"This is taking away the rights of close-by citizenry to negotiate with reasonable developers," he said.
Schulman said Florida needs to manage growth and engage in smart growth.
"That doesn't mean no growth," he said. "If something doesn't grow, it dies and it atrophies."
Dickman said Amendment 4 is not trying to stop growth, it is trying to change growth by discouraging sprawl.
"Growth management is about planning for the future," he said. "I envision it as going to the ballot box and deciding what you want your community to look like."
Schulman said Amendment 4 will bring nothing but lost jobs, lost money and higher taxes.
"Who is going to bear the burden of increasing the cost of government?" he asked.

West Allis - After years of trying to get a grant to turn an unused brownfield site behind the West Allis Police Station into a soccer field, the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District has finally won it.
The National Soccer Foundation has agreed to provide $200,000 for the new field near 11301 W. Lincoln Ave.
"It shows the value of persistence," said Superintendent Kurt Wachholz.
To make things even better, a private individual who wants to remain anonymous gave a matching $200,000 so that the field will be completely paid for without any taxpayer dollars, Wachholz said.
The field should be ready for play within 18 months. "We'll be working closely with the city" to make the soccer field happen, Wachholz said.
The city owns the land, but if West Allis Mayor Dan Devine has its way, the land would be tranferred to the district for a nominal amount.
"What I'd like to see is to sell it to them for $1," Devine said, noting that the Common Council will have to act on the matter. "We'd love to see it. … It would be a good recreational opportunity and it's always rewarding if we can get various governmental entities working together."
Besides providing much needed space for school soccer teams, the field could be used by youth recreation soccer programs and adult teams, and it could even be rented out, Wachholz said, adding that it will make productive use of an area that has been languishing for years.
The site is safe to use for soccer because another grant has already paid for capping the site to keep contamination away from the surface, Wachholz said.

Ansar Dine Islamist rebels have taken control of the central city of Konna, situated northeast of Mali's capital, moving further into government-held territory. The capture of Konna is a significant advance for Mali rebels. There have been no official comments yet from the Mali army. The rebels identify with a strict version of Islam and have already occupied the vast desert of northern Mali, making good use of a power vacuum after the last democratically elected president was overthrown in March.
At least 63 people have been killed and 127 others wounded in three bomb blasts in Pakistan. Twin blasts killed at least 52 people when they exploded at a billiards hall in the town of Quetta. More than 100 people were wounded. Earlier Friday, a bomb in a market killed 11 people and injured 27 others. Militant group United Baloch Army claimed responsibility for that attack. The region is plagued by sectarian fighting between Sunni and Shia Muslims. The Taliban also carries out attacks in the area.
Tens of thousands of supporters of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez have rallied outside his presidential palace on Thursday on what was supposed to be his inauguration day. Wearing T-shirts with the slogan "I am Chavez", people waved flags while upbeat music from speakers kept proclaiming: "Chavez, heart of the people!" The show was organized by the country's government to show support for the cancer-stricken leader, as his swearing-in ceremony has been indefinitely postponed. Chavez is currently in a Cuban hospital fighting a severe respiratory infection more than a month after cancer surgery.
Australian police have arrested an alleged associate of the jailed international arms trafficker Viktor Bout. Richard Ammar Chichakli has been arrested at the request of US authorities. The alleged associate is believed to be holding both Syrian and US citizenship and is charged with conspiring with Bout to try to purchase two aircraft from companies located in the United States and use them to ship arms. The Russian businessman, who was convicted by a US court in 2011 of conspiring to sell arms to Colombia's FARC rebels, is now serving a 25-year jail term in the US. The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs considers the "Bout case" politically motivated.
Five children, three men and two women were killed and many people injured in an attack on Kibuso village in eastern Kenya, a Kenyan Red Cross spokeswoman reported. About 20 houses were set on fire during the attack that appeared to be a revenge raid for an assault on Wednesday, which left 7 people dead. In just the last four months more than 200 people have been killed in fighting between the two communities.
Damascus was surprised by the recent comments made about Assad's standing by UN and Arab League envoy for Syria Lakhdar Brahimi, the country's Foreign Ministry said in a statement. The pro-Assad al-Watan newspaper referred to Brahimi as "a tool for the implementation of the policy of some Western countries". The international peace envoy told the BBC that he didn't see Bashar al-Assad as a part of a transitional government and called for him to quit. Brahimi added that "ruling for 40 years is a little bit too long", referring to Assad, who inherited the presidency from his father, who's tenure lasted 30 years.
11 people have been killed after a blast in the Baacha Khan Chowk area in Quetta, the capital of Pakistan's Baluchistan province. 40 people were also reportedly injured in the incident. The bomb, which detonated in a market in Quetta, targeted a police patrol, but mostly killed sellers of vegetable and second-hand clothes, according to law enforcement agencies. Another 21 people were killed and around 60 more injured in an explosion in Mingora, the largest city in the northwestern province of Swat. The blast was initially considered to have been caused by an exploding gas cylinder, but later police chief Akhtar Hayat said it was a bomb.
Scotland Yard has arrested four men as part of an investigation into travel to Syria in support of terrorist activity. One of the men was detained while trying to take a flight from London's Gatwick airport on Wednesday. The others were arrested at addresses in East London on Thursday, police said in a statement. The men, aged 18-33, are being held by the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command. Two men who have previously been charged in connection with the investigation are due to go on trial in Britain in June over the kidnapping of two Western journalists by Islamic extremists in Syria.
Heavy rainfall along the Egypt-Gaza border has caused the collapse of a smuggling tunnel Ma'an News Agency reports . A bus vehicle fell into a seven-meter wide hole causing injuries and damaging goods being transported illegally across the border. The tunnels are used to supply Gaza's economy due to Israel's restrictions imposed as part of the cease fire with Hamas.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has said it is of paramount importance to prevent destabilization in Venezuela over the health condition of President Hugo Chavez. "This should be the target of efforts of all political forces inside and outside of the country," the ministry's information and press department said in a commentary on Thursday. Moscow urges "their balanced and responsible approach," it said, adding that they should closely adhere to the country's constitution. The commentary also expressed hope that the Venezuelan leader will overcome the trials of life and return to his duties.
Japan will consider giving 10 patrol vessels and a communications system to Manila's coast guard, Philippine Foreign Secretary Albert del Rosario has said. He discussed with his Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida ways to bolster trade, and maritime security cooperation. Tokyo is wrangling with China over uninhabited islands in the East China Sea. Beijing and the Philippines were also in a tense standoff last year over Scarborough Shoal, a dispute that strained relations.
Police and federal agents have said in a Colorado courtroom that James Holmes had amassed guns and ammunition during the weeks before a mass shooting that occurred on July 20, 2012, at a Century movie theater in Aurora. Prosecution witnesses also testified that Holmes started assembling an arsenal in early May and in early July, he took some interior and exterior photos of the theater. The preliminary hearing ended Wednesday so that state District Judge William Sylvester could determine whether prosecutors' case is strong enough to put Holmes on trial, the AP said. Holmes faces more than 160 counts of murder and attempted murder. It is not clear if he will plead not guilty by reason of insanity.
Indian troops have shot dead a Pakistani soldier in the disputed state of Kashmir, Pakistani military said. It comes just two days after two Indian soldiers were killed in a firefight in the flashpoint area. Islamabad denied that its troops were behind the Tuesday killings.
Police beat the five suspects arrested in the brutal gang rape and killing of a young woman on a New Delhi bus, a lawyer claimed Thursday. Manohar Lal Sharma accused authorities of tampering with evidence in the case that provoked protests in India. The lawyer assumed the authorities could convict the suspects, adding that "the police will manipulate the facts," the AP said. Sharma added, "What happened to this woman was so heinous, so horrible."
At least 11 people were killed after a blast in the Baacha Khan Chowk area in Quetta, the capital of Pakistan's Baluchistan province, on Thursday. Officials say 27 others were injured in the explosion. Women, children and four Frontier Corps personnel were among those injured. The explosives were planted under a car, local media say, citing security sources. The blast damaged shops, buildings and several cars.
The Jerusalem Municipality has announced the closure of schools and kindergartens due to the heaviest snowfall in 20 years. The police shut the Jerusalem –Tel Aviv highway at the entrance of the capital on Thursday morning due to icy conditions, the Jerusalem Post reports. Public transport has come to a halt after 10 to 15 cm of snow piled up in the city center and outlying areas.
Government troops in Mali have forced Islamist rebels out of the important northeastern town of Douentza, army officials said. The army has retaken the town, and the jihadists withdrew following the clash, Reuters quoted a senior army officer as saying on Thursday. Wednesday's seizure is the first major pushback by government since insurgents took the north last year. Some residents in Douentza said that the Islamists withdrew, but the army was not inside the town.
The jobless rate in Greece has reached record highs, with October 2012 figures at 26.8 per cent. This is a major increase from the same month in 2011, the Statistical Authority said Thursday. The unemployment increased from the 26.2 per cent in September 2012. It also marked a significant jump from the 19.7 per cent of October 2011. The worst affected were the young, with 56.6 per cent of those aged between 15 and 24 out of work in October 2011.
An international coordination and flagging demand have led to a drop in food prices for the third consecutive month in December, a UN agency said Thursday. The food price index of the Food and Agriculture Organization edged down 1.1 per cent with drops in the international prices of major cereals, oils and fats. It was down 7 per cent for 2012 as a whole from 2011. The announcement was a reversal from July's estimate, "when sharply rising prices prompted fears of a new food crisis."
A NATO official claimed Thursday that a short-range ballistic missile was fired inside Syria the previous day. "We detected the launch of an unguided, short-range ballistic missile inside Syria yesterday," Reuters quoted the official as saying. It allegedly followed similar launches on January 2 and 3. "All missiles were fired from inside Syria and they impacted in northern Syria," the official said. NATO has not identified immediately the type of missile used.
Three Russian climbers have died in an avalanche in Georgia's Kazbegi Mountains, media reports say. A child who was also with the group has been rescued and taken to hospital with frostbite, RIA Novosti said. The tourists, reportedly from Moscow, had been in the mountains since January 2 and were hit by an avalanche, local authorities say.
A Russian helicopter supporting the UN peacekeeping mission has reportedly been attacked in South Sudan. A bullet hole on the helicopter's fuselage was discovered, media reports say, citing security sources. The helicopter crew managed to complete a flight in the Wau region. The helicopter is used for transportation of UN cargo. In December, another Russian helicopter was shot down in eastern Jonglei state, and all four Russian crew members were killed. The UN blamed the government forces for that attack.
A car bomb explosion near a bus stop killed five people and wounded 15 others in Baghdad on Thursday morning, Iraqi officials say. The blast took place near a bus stop in the mainly-Shiite neighborhood of Hurriyah. Five minibuses were damaged in the attack.
Two more planes from Lithuania will be searched for explosives on Thursday at Moscow airports after an anonymous call about an alleged bomb threat. The unidentified person called from Minsk to Vilnius Airport, media reports say, citing security sources. Two planes from Vilnius were already searched in Moscow early in the morning.
Malian troops have clashed with armed Islamist groups that have been occupying the country's vast desert north for nine months. The clashes on Wednesday included heavy-weapons fire, AFP reported. They came less than 48 hours after the West African nation's army put down an attempted Islamist attack on the same town, Konna, near the edge of the government-controlled area. The Economic Community of West African States has 3,300 troops for a mission to reclaim northern Mali. NATO said Wednesday that it had not been asked to assist the African forces.
US drones have fired missiles, killing five suspected militants in Pakistan's northwest tribal region, intelligence officials said. Thursday's attack took place in a village near Mir Ali in the North Waziristan. The tribal area is the main sanctuary for Taliban and Al-Qaeda militants in the country.
The Department of Defense decided Wednesday to abandon conspiracy charges against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, who is accused of orchestrating the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the US, as well as against four other defendants. The decision fell on a legal technicality, with conspiracy not subject to the jurisdiction of America's military court system, which tries non-US citizens without providing them the rights afforded Americans. The system can only charge defendants for crimes considered war crimes; conspiracy is not one of these. The move is not likely to make much difference for the defendants, who remain accused of murdering 2,976 people. Attacking civilians, one of the charges they face, is considered a war crime.
Officials in Spring City, Utah are mulling a municipal resolution that would advise residents to own a gun. An initial version would have required gun ownership, but city councilors decided on only recommending that each of the 325 homes in town own a firearm. The city councilman who proposed the resolution said he was motivated to push the issue in light of the massace in Newtown, Connecticut and the national discussion about guns that followed. The councilman, Noel Bertelson, told local newspaper Deseret News that the public response had been positive. Speaking of Spring City's residents, he said,"they would like other cities to follow suit. They just, in general, think it's a good idea."

'The Bachelor': Tierra's meltdown, Amanda's possible broken jaw and Selma's no-kissing ruleAdd to Favorites | The Bachelor
On the next "Bachelor" episode, the roller derby date turns dangerous for Amanda. In the above clip, she takes a tumble right onto her face. An ambulance is called and one of the staff members thinks she could have a broken jaw.
Meanwhile, Selma gets a solo date with Sean and he is totally smitten. He wants to kiss her and she wants to kiss him, but she says, "I can't kiss you." We wonder if Selma has a no-kissing rule until later in the process? What's that all about?
And finally, Tierra has her meltdown -- "Wy should I be tortured every day and live life uneasy? ... I am breaking down inside ... I can't be tortured like this." Yes, it's so torturous on this show. We're talking Gitmo-level torture, y'all.
"The Bachelor" airs Monday nights sat 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Aptitude queries the DBS and warns of any critical bugs filed against the

There are three Debian systems here.
My main workstation has testing because I like updated software, but do want
some kind of assurance that nothing will break.
My wife's workstation tracks stable because she never updates it, and I got
tired of going to upgrade her system and finding there's 10^23 packages that
need updating.
My gaming machine runs unstable. Once upon a time, a single feature in
packages like Mesa, wine, dosemu, or SDL made the difference between a game
working and a game not working. Those days are pretty much gone now that
these packages have matured. Running unstable isn't as crucial to gaming as
it was back then, but I still run it from habit.

Lusaka — THERE is a need to fully restructure the Ministry of Health and its substructures, health permanent secretary Dr Simon Mitti has said.
But Central Board of Health (CBoH) director Dr Ben Chirwa said restructuring the Ministry of Health, if not done well, could lead to massive brain drain.
Appearing before a parliamentary committee for health chaired by Chiengi member of parliament Katele Kalumba, Dr Mitti said the health reforms introduced by the MMD government in 1992 had brought about numerous challenges.
Dr Mitti said successful de-linking of health workers from the civil service to health boards had failed as unions had demanded terminal benefits amounting to K400 billion which the government had failed to raise.
"Despite Ministry of Health having recorded some successes during implementation of health reforms, a number of challenges have emerged which call for strategic refocusing of the core mission of the ministry. Some service delivery indicators are still worrying and thus the need to repeal the National Health Service Act. Before restructuring we need to repeal the act which has brought about problems," Dr Mitti said.
"Failure to de-link workers has led to dual employees who are enjoying conditions of service as they are getting full civil service salary and a top-up as they are working for CBoH. Currently Ministry of Health has no control of operations of health management boards. Central Board of Health has disregarded Ministry of Health because of its being in control of financial resource."
Dr Mitti said apart from a duplication of functions in the health ministry and CBoH, expenditure at CBoH was high compared to what was at times spent in the country's 72 districts.
He said reabsorbing CBoH would enable the Ministry of Health to reduce expenditure at the centre and reallocate savings to the periphery.
"Functions of CBoH will be reincorporated into a directorate of health services with very specific functions within Ministry of Health, and provincial health offices will remain under the ministry's supervision. Redeployment of current board employees into civil service will ensure uniform conditions of service and Ministry of Health will assume all responsibilities of the board of CBoH. The ministry will assume its role as purchaser and health boards as providers through provincial health offices," he said.
Mitti also said the assets and liabilities of CBoH would be adequately addressed in the transitional period.
However, Kalumba wondered whether the proposed restructuring of the Ministry of Health was a failure of health reforms or a failure to reform.
Dr Chirwa said the National Health Services (repeal) bill did not state what would happen to staff and other board related activities.
Dr Chirwa said institutional and financial arrangements in the transitional period were also not clear.
"All board employees serve on three years fixed term contract of employment which does not provide for retirement. It is our assumption that such an employee will be entitled to full salary and gratuity up to the end of contract, leave days, housing allowance and repatriation. Positions in the restructured Ministry of Health will be competitive and thus not all may be retained," Dr Chirwa said.
"It is our fear that this may result in loss of valuable human resource critical to the health sector especially if the issues of salary and retention of conditions are not addressed. This could lead to disruption of health service delivery."

Here is what I've come up with so far.
Only AddOns I'm currently using are DBM and Qusemap, and of course ElvUI. DBM is being rather stubborn regarding the configuration - It will not let me change the fonts and size for some reason :\
A friend just told me that in 5.1 ElvUI profiles will get wiped clean and reset, so I'm not really motivated to configure it any more :P
Last edited by Treeston; 2012-11-21 at 06:25 PM.
Heres my ui, don't have a ret pov vid yet but when I do il post. I could clean it up a bit but it will always be a bit messy, kind of like my room.
I think I'm slowly getting there with my UI. I can be very picky about stuff, so sometimes the smallest things takes me days (...took me around 8 downloads of fonts, before i found one, that i found decent).
Pretty sure that its easy to see where alot of my inspiration comes from (great UI youtube series :P )
Most of the elements for my prot pala is in that ss, except castbars, which are placed below my holy power indicator, the mid screen DBM warning and since crusader strike isnt on CD, you can only see the background (why the line above my holy power indicator is so fat)
...not alowed to post links or images yet, bleh

There you go. Beautiful - did you find some of your inspiration from Touchymcfeely? It looks like it a bit. I like what you've changed though. Out of curiosity, what data text addon are you using?
The font i use in it is Elemental End, and its a free font.
right here.
(Note: This is not my UI)
And hey, since you like the font, Elemental Ends
So here's what I'm rolling with at the moment:
Considering hiding my player frame and cooldown bar active on mouseover when out of combat, and fully visible once in combat.
Dbm is still pretty much unconfigured. Will sort that in the near future.
Also, for some reason; when I take a screenshot in combat, some of the borders on texts and such go a little blurry, after I upload them to Imgur. Just pointing that out so people don't think I'm running with nasty blurry borders
Just an idea of where everything is on my screen (when it appears, of course)
Have not logged on to a class where a pet is used yet (or summoned my Water Elemental :P) so the pet bar is unconfigured also.
I've always been very stubborn about swapping to ElvUI, but now I see that it is very awesome :P
Maybe now people won't ask me to upload my UI, as they can simply make it themselves! Hehe! ^_^
Last edited by Treeston; 2012-11-23 at 03:56 PM.
Edit: Back to default elv.
Edit2: Pixil what fonts and bar tex are you using? gonna get my ui looking like yours if it takes me all night!
Edit3: Cant for the life of me work out how to detach power bar....
Last edited by Drayarr; 2012-11-23 at 08:46 PM.
It can take me months to get a UI how I want it, sometimes I can work on one for 3 months and end up scrapping it. Don't expect to get a UI that's perfect in just 3 hours ^^
Take a look at the gallery in my sig; that's just a very small amount of UIs I've started and/or worked on that I managed to find lying around. If I had my old HDDs there'd be hundreds of screenshots.

Willie Liston, Newhaven. Fisherman about 1844
- Scottish Art
Willie Liston was a fisherman from Newhaven on the shores of the River Forth, to the north of Edinburgh. The Newhaven fishermen were well known for their skill and courage. They fished for herring, haddock and cod from small open boats, both close to the land and some miles out and up the north-east coast. They also dredged for oysters in the Forth. Liston is here shown 'redding', or preparing the line. In the 1840s, when this photograph was taken, hardship was part of life, but it was possible to make a good living fishing all year round.

I like making people happy by making them laugh or just taking care of them in anyway I can. But that also has to be earned. I dont just give myself away without getting something back in return. That would be to easy! :)

But it's not long enough. I've checked everywhere and there is no way for me to get the extra inch or two needed to connect the connector to the Temp Sensor
A customer alerted us to this thread and we wanted to let everyone know that this MAP sensor issue has been fixed early on. For some reason our test bikes had more than enough wire length to meet up but some bikes do not. Probably a difference in who was making the harnesses. We have since moved the map sensor to the front of the base plate where A: It cannot interfere with the throttle plates if installed improperly and B: The wire loom will easily reach it. All of our dealers have these models now.
(We also stopped putting those impossible to remove stickers on the plate, sorry about that!)
Moto-treks, thank you for posting this how to and the kind words. It still thrills us to see when our customers find such great results from our Rottweiler Filter. Be safe and most of all, have a great ride!

Should self-published authors use an e-book conversion service?
February 12, 2013 | 1:22 pm
By Juli Monroe
I've written plenty on this site about e-book conversion (most recently here and here), and I almost skipped over the Bowker press release. I'm glad I decided to investigate further.
Okay, quick details first. From the release:
Once an author has decided to self-publish, the next step of creating an eBook alongside print is obvious – it is too big a market. Not too far in the future I believe we'll drop the "e" and we'll just have books," stated DCL CEO Mark Gross. "We applaud Bowker for recognizing the need for trustworthy conversion services for its customers, and are honored to have been chosen for that role."
DCL's EPUB on Demand is an online submission portal that allows authors, publishers, and other users to benefit from the same powerful resources dedicated to larger clients and organizations while streamlining the process. It's quick, accurate, cost-effective and supports all popular eReader devices.
Okay, calling it "EPUB on Demand" and then saying it "supports all popular eReader devices" was a bit odd. Yes, the service does support Kindle.
I went to the Bowker site to learn more about the service, and that's where things got interesting. Scroll down to the pricing section.
The cost of producing an eBook is based upon the complexity and size of the project. Keep in mind that we do not simply run a script to convert your files. We put your PDF through multiple phases to insure that the files you receive have gone through rigorous quality assurance testing.
As you see below, each format is significantly less expensive when you purchase two formats. If you are thinking that you want your book on the Kindle as well as the Nook and iPad, then you will need both formats. Purchasing both eBook formats upfront will save you money.
By the way, although they say PDF above, you can also submit as MS Word, InDesign or HTML.
Let's look at what this costs. Curious, I pulled up my current manuscript, which I'll be working on formatting later this month. 203 pages in Word, which costs out to $375 for conversion to EPUB and Mobi. That's pricy. I know another well-regarded conversion service that would have charged me $190 for the same project. (52 Novels, who converts all of Joe Konrath's books.)
I'll admit that I don't mind doing it myself, so I won't even pay the $190, but $375 sounds like an awful lot for formatting my e-book.
By the way, see that cost savings for doing both formats at once? Here's another quote from their site.
Can I get the discounted price if I purchase both formats separately?
Sorry, we can only offer this price upfront, as much of the savings is related to not needing to repeat work. Because we can create certain efficiencies in this process, we can do two formats of the same book at a discount. However, we cannot offer the difference at a later date.
This makes me wonder about their process. Once you have a good EPUB, conversion to Mobi is a snap. Unless you're talking a complicated formatting job, that is—which they quote individually. So I'm taking that statement with several grains of salt.
One last note. They have a "helpful" rundown of iBooks, Kindle and Nook at the bottom of the page. Unfortunately, their information on Kindle is incorrect. They say the royalty rate is 35 percent. That's true in some cases, but it's easy enough to put your book in the 70 percent category, so mentioning a range (like they did with Nook) would be more accurate.
Don't get me wrong. I do see the benefit for many authors of having a service complete the conversion for them; I'm not against conversion services. However, I do believe that authors should shop around to be certain they are getting a fair deal. And I'm definitely not convinced Bowker has the best option for the self-published author on a shoestring.

ePub and other sacrileges on the Voyage and Paperwhite: Easy jail-breaks ahead?
BookDrop: Email ebooks to your Kindle from Dropbox—even ePubs and other formats not normally supported
Head to Head: Kobo Glo HD vs Kindle Paperwhite 3
Conversion services are solutions in search of a problem that shouldn't exist in a standards-based environment. Web designers suffered for years with this and are now in a much better but still not perfect, position because of better standards compliance. Today, few web browsers would dare to ignore HTML 5 as ePub 3 seems to be ignored in the world of eBooks.
I don't understand the pricing model on a "per page" basis (disclosure: our company is a competitor). A 12-page brochure is actually more complicated to turn into an eBook than War and Peace, since images and different styles of text require special attention. A straight-forward novel can be done pretty quickly.
Regarding EPUB -> MOBI/KF8, it's a best practice to use a different stylesheet for the Kindle devices. There's also a few caveats like MOBI/KF8 doesn't allow an HTML cover page. I hope you'll consider us, Juli, for your book. We charge a lot less than $375 (a lot less).
The additional markup for the MOBI does not justify the cost. It's good to learn how to do this formatting stuff. Good luck and let us know if we can help.
Well, it must be worth it if they "insure that the files you receive have gone through rigorous quality assurance testing." Hopefully they can ENsure that their quality assurance team is as good as their proofreading team.
Ebook conversion service is necessary, if you're not aware about the formatting or new to formatting. Recently, I converted my book with http://www.ebookcoder.com, they did an excellent job at cheap price. The pricing which you mentioned is really high when comparing to the ebookcoder.com.
Anyway, thanks for the article and my comment help few authors.
Thank you..

Beyonce will 'absolutely be singing live' at the Super Bowl, explains lip-syncing decision
Following revelation that Beyonce lip-synced the national anthem at President Barack Obama's inauguration, she's making it very clear that the same thing won't happen when she performs at the Super Bowl.
At a press conference held about her Super Bowl halftime show, Beyonce clarified that she will "absolutely be singing live" for the performance. To prove that she can, in fact, sing the nation anthem live, Beyonce performed "The Star Spangled Banner" for reporters gathered at the conference, Fox News reports.
She also opened up for the first time about her decision to sing along to a prerecorded track of her own voice during the presidential inauguration.
"I am a perfectionist," Beyonce explained. "And one thing about me: I practice 'till my feet bleed. I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra. It was a live television show ... Due to the weather, due to the delay, due to no proper sound check ... I did not feel comfortable singing live."

"Veep" Shows Hollywood How Things Are Done in D.C.

- Parent Category: News
- Category: Location News

Producer Stephanie Laing has worked with the best of them on comedic TV shows like "Tracey Takes On…," "Little Britain USA" and "Eastbound & Down," but she's never quite run a show like HBO's "Veep." Reminiscent of "The Office" (another Brit-born comedy), the mockumentary series follows the antics of a fictional Vice President played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who won an Emmy for her stellar performance. "It's a different kind of challenge than I've ever had before," says Laing. "It's an English-written comedy with English directors and edited in the UK, but it's an American comedy when it comes down to it."
The show's cast and crew formed a tight family-like unit early on and they now refer to themselves as "Veeples." Laing sees this bond as a testament to their strength, as many crewmembers have returned to the production since the pilot. "Everyone keeps coming back to work with us again," she says. Cinematographer Jay Feather is one of those alumni, joining the show after the first three episodes were shot by Jimmy Lindsey. Feather had recently done second-unit work on "Eastbound & Down" and "Banshee" but was excited when the opportunity arose to lens "Veep." He now considers the experience unlike any other series he's been a part of, and he has mastered his technique to suit the show's fast-paced production. "The challenge has been to find the right balance to properly light each scene with justified and motivated lighting while still allowing the directors to have their freedom with the ensemble cast," explains Feather. "Our unique prep period per each episode allows the cast and crew to tackle our high page count on the day of shooting. We average 12 pages per day, but our record stands somewhere around 17."
The people handing over those dialogue-heavy pages include "Veep" Creator Armando Iannucci and Writer Simon Blackwell (both of whom co-wrote the film In the Loop) and another half-dozen of very funny Brits working in the UK to develop each new season. In July, the team flies to the show's production headquarters in Baltimore for a week of rehearsals for the first half of the season. Then there's a typical prep period of four to six weeks that includes guest directors coming in to prep rehearsals for each episode. When September hits, everyone is up and running to shoot an average of five days per episode until January.
"We rehearse a lot, which is not typical in production of American comedy, probably not even on the dramas," Laing explains. "For every episode we shoot, we rehearse a day and a half. The week is cut up into a couple rehearsal days and usually on Wednesday we start shooting." Thanks to cast and crew's well-orchestrated efforts, there's now a misconception floating around that the show is improvised. In fact, the writers spend months on end creating the hilarious scenarios for Vice President Selina Meyer and her team of misfiring misfits. The show's writing process continues through rehearsals, and scripts are often further developed while episodes are being shot. "We may end up with a script full of alternates," admits Laing, "but every joke is written and rewritten to perfection."
"Veep" is an all-handheld, two-camera show, so a lot of choreography is needed to perfect its documentary look. Shots often show two or more characters having a conversation in the foreground while two more characters in the background have scripted dialogue occurring simultaneously, and the cameras catch parts of the background conversation to link it to the foreground characters. All this takes a lot of finesse to look totally unrehearsed — and every crewmember, including Key Grip Matt Blades, knows to stay on their toes. "Because of how fluidly the scenes move," says Blades, "I am always paying attention to how the scene is developing, and I try to stay ahead of where the camera is going to look next so that my guys are ready for what needs to happen effectively and efficiently."
To make sure that the show's depiction of West Wing was accurate, Iannucci visited the real deal in D.C. "Many times you see a Hollywood version of the West Wing," says Production Designer Jim Gloster, "but we wanted it to be what it is: a fairly dull and drab building. There are some elaborate rooms there, but mostly it's just white hallways with offices shooting off of them. Space is at a premium there, because if you have an office in the West Wing then you're somebody. So a lot of times they pack four and five people in these tiny offices with stuff everywhere. That's the atmosphere we're going for on the show." Whenever possible, the production uses big lights through windows to re-create natural light and allow the architecture of the sets shape the lighting.
To maintain the show's look and atmosphere, Camera Operators Spencer Combs and Sean Maxwell continually use two ARRI ALEXAs. As a cinematographer who likes to push the envelope, Feather says that the ALEXA has allowed him to light to the ratios he finds pleasing while still holding detail at the extreme ends of exposure. "At the beginning of season two, I added more contrast," the DP explains. "I look within the location to find where justified light would come from, and I light big sources from outside, which gives the actors the ability to move around freely with still having the ratio I like. This show relies on really strong operators and I think both of them nail the tone we've set in prep." Laing voted for using ALEXAs because every time she's been on a show with another shooting format, she's wished that ALEXAs were chosen. "There's a lot of freedom and ease with the ALEXAs," says Laing. "The weight, even with the bigger lenses, keeps it manageable for fast handheld work."
The necessity to move quickly doesn't relieve the production crew from their responsibility to produce high-quality images. With ensemble scenes, multiple locations and tight schedules, all departments are challenged to always be ready to fly in with a light or a plant. "It's a real contest in the close quarters of many of the practical locations we shoot in," says Blades. "My goal is to keep things moveable and flexible so that Jay [Feather] gets what he needs to keep making beautiful visuals and, at the same time, give our directors and our cast maximum freedom on the set. Our gaffer Peaches Dolan, Jay and I try to keep the sets as uncluttered with gear as possible. If we know this means a big pre-rig, then we arrange for it, because on the shoot day it can make all the difference. It's important that we stay flexible so that if a better idea comes up, or we have to reshuffle the schedule, we can make it all happen seamlessly." Whatever chaos ensues with the characters on screen, the "Veep" crew's well-oiled machine will continue to keep audiences laughing all the way to the next election. President Meyer for 2016!

South Shore restaurants, rebuilt after Sandy
Take a walk through Long Island's South Shore towns and you may have a hard time believing that, a mere eight months ago, superstorm Sandy set tables and refrigerators floating down streets, ripped out sections of buildings and submerged entire kitchens and dining rooms. It took superhuman strength -- of spirit and body -- to navigate the insurance maze, renovate and rebuild. Although many restaurants never made that comeback, a surprisingly large number have. --JOAN REMINICK, firstname.lastname@example.com

Approved by the Principal/Vice-Principal's Committee
September 29, 2003
Queen's University records management program is based on the following principles:
Principle 1: All University records, regardless of their format or location, are the property of the University.
Principle 2: Good records management practice is essential in creating, capturing, using and disposing of the information required for an organization to fulfill its obligations and meet the expectations of its stakeholders.
Principle 2: The Queen's University records management policy, program and practice will be based on current professional standards and best practices.
Principle 3: Records in all formats created and received as evidence of University activities will be captured as records and maintained in all processes and systems.
Principle 4: Responsibility for capturing and maintaining records rests with the organization as a whole and with individuals within the organization.
Principle 5: The context and structure of records will be managed in any University record-keeping system, in order to maintain record security, reliability and authenticity.
Principle 6: The appropriate use and re-use of information contained within records will be guided by records management policy and procedures and any current legislation.
Principle 7: Retention of records will be scheduled and authorized so that they are retained only for as long as they are needed.
Principle 8: Records will be protected from inappropriate access, alteration and usage.
Principle 9: University records of archival value will be preserved and access provided where restrictions do not apply.
Principle 10: Personal information contained in University records will be created, used, maintained and disposed of in an appropriate and legal manner.
Principle 11: University records, being the property of the university, may be not be removed from its control or destroyed except under the authority of this policy.
(While this policy applies to all records including records in e-mail format a more detailed guidelines for the management of e-mail will be made available separately).
University records: are those documents, data or recorded information in all media and formats created, received, and maintained as evidence and information in the administration of the activities of the University.
Non-record material: are those documents, data or information in all media and formats created, received as a result of personal activities. These may be works created as a result of intellectual or artistic activity and acquired in preparation for teaching and in the course of research (unless created under specific contract with the University that indicates otherwise) and they are the intellectual properties of the Faculty and are not University record.
Active records: are those records that are created or received in the course of University work or activities and are in frequent use. These remain under the custody, responsibility and control of the unit of the University that generates and maintains these records.
Semi-active records: are those records used less frequently but where the ownership remains with the University department or unit even when the records are transferred to the University Records Centre or other storage facilities.
Inactive records: are those records no longer needed for university activities. These may be destroyed or if they are appraised as being records of permanent value they may be transferred to the University Archives. Custody, responsibility and control of permanent records of value are transferred to the University Archives.
The University's records management program will establish a University–wide record-keeping system and practice that:
The Principal shall appoint a University Records Management Committee (the Committee) responsible for the initiation, control and review of records management policies and programs. This committee will be the ultimate body of authority for the control, retention and disposal of University records.
The Committee will approve all University records retention schedules before application/implementation.
The Committee will assign responsibilities to heads of university departments and units to:
The Committee shall consist of:
Responsibility for the effective management of University records according to a current authorized University records management program is a responsibility shared by all University employees and personnel.
Responsibility for the design, creation, implementation, maintenance and operational audit of the records management program shall rest with the University Archivist and university records staff of the Archives.
The university records staff will provide the training and necessary support and advisory services to the staff of university departments and units so that the procedures and controls are understood and applied.
Ultimate responsibility for the control of records created in carrying out specific functions will be assigned by the University Records Management Committee to a senior member of staff in each university department and unit. The responsibility will include ensuring that retention schedules are followed and that the disposal (both destruction and transfer) of records are authorized and documented.
A Records management contact network of record custodians in all departments and units will be maintained.
University records staff will liaise with information management staff concerning the appropriate creation, use, maintenance, and disposition of electronic records in University systems.
A Queen's university-wide records management program will provide a broad range of benefits to the University as a whole and to each individual department and unit. These benefits range from litigation risk management, staff time and cost benefits, convenience in retrieval of information and informed decision making.
The Queen's Records Management Program:
Record management policy and program will be reviewed every five years.
Records retention schedules will be reviewed every ten years.
