For purposes of this rule, the following definitions apply:
(1) "Fraud" is defined as an intentional deception, false statement, or misrepresentation made by a person with the knowledge that the deception, false statement, or misrepresentation could result in some unauthorized benefit to oneself or another person. It includes any act that constitutes fraud under applicable federal or state law. If fraud is suspected or apparent, referral of the case to the attorney general's medicaid fraud control unit and/or the appropriate enforcement officials will be made by the Ohio department of job and family services (ODJFS).
(2) "Waste and abuse" are defined as practices that are inconsistent with professional standards of care; medical necessity; or sound fiscal, business, or medical practices; and that constitute an overutilization of medicaid covered services and result in an unnecessary cost to the medicaid program.
(B) ODJFS shall have in effect a program to prevent and detect fraud, waste, and abuse in the medicaid program. Where cases of suspected fraud to obtain payment from the medicaid program are detected, providers will be subject to a review or an audit by ODJFS. If waste and abuse are suspected or apparent, ODJFS will take action to gain compliance and recoup inappropriate payments through audit and review in accordance with rule 5101:3-1-27 or 5101:3-26-06 of the Administrative Code.
In all instances of fraud, waste, and abuse, any payment amount in excess of that legitimately due to the provider will be recouped by ODJFS through the office of fiscal and monitoring services, the state auditor, or the office of the attorney general.
(C) Cases of provider fraud, waste, and abuse may include, but are not limited to, the following:
(1) A pattern of duplicate billing by a provider to obtain reimbursement to which the provider is not entitled.
(2) Misrepresentation as to services provided, quantity provided, date of service, or to whom provided.
(3) Billing for services not provided.
(4) A pattern of billing, certifying, prescribing, or ordering services that are not medically necessary or reimbursable in accordance with rule 5101:3-1-01 of the Administrative Code, not clinically proven and effective, and not consistent with medicaid program rules and regulations.
(5) Differing charges for the same services to medicaid and non-medicaid consumers. For inpatient hospital services billed by hospitals reimbursed on a prospective payment basis, ODJFS will not pay, in the aggregate, more than the provider's customary and prevailing charges for comparable services.
(6) Violation of a provider agreement by requesting or obtaining additional payment for covered medicaid services from either the consumer or consumer's family, other than medicaid co-payments as designated in rule 5101:3-1-09 of the Administrative Code.
(7) Collusive activities, involving the medicaid program, between a medicaid provider and any person or business entity.
(8) Misrepresentation of cost report data so as to maximize reimbursement and/or misrepresent gains or losses.
(9) Billing for services that are outside the current license limitations or specific practice parameters of the person supplying the service.
(10) Misrepresenting by commission or omission any information on the provider enrollment form or included in the provider enrollment packet.
(11) Ordering excessive quantities of medical supplies, drugs and biologicals, or other services.
(D) ODJFS will not pay for services prescribed, ordered, or rendered by a provider, when those services were prescribed, ordered, or rendered by that provider after the date the provider was terminated under the medicaid program in accordance with rule 5101:3-1-17.6 of the Administrative Code.
(E) In instances when a provider suspects that there may be fraud, waste, or abuse by a consumer, the provider should contact the local county department of job and family services. Cases of consumer fraud, waste, and abuse may include, but are not limited to:
(1) Alteration, sale, or lending of the medicaid card to others for securing medical services, or other related criminal activities.
(2) Receiving excessive medical visits and services.
(3) Obtaining services outside of those personally needed and used by the consumer.
(F) Providers must assume responsibility for the business practices of employees. ODJFS presumes that providers will take the necessary time to thoroughly acquaint themselves and their employees with all rules relative to their participation in the medicaid program. Ignorance of medicaid program rules will not be an acceptable justification for violation of department rules.

The Nokia Lumia 521 will make a great backup for my Nexus 4. It's exactly what WP8 needs right now. Beginner-level smart phones. Nokia has indicated that the retail price will be under $200. I've read specific references to $185. Since T-Mobile is separating their phones from their plans ("Uncarrier") we'll see what the thing ACTUALLY retails for.
New Cell Phones 2013 – New T-Mobile Phones – New Nokia Cell Phones
- Nokia Lumia 521 cell phone photos
T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 521 will have a 4-inch display with 800 x 480 pixels, 1 GHz Dual Core processor, Adreno 305 GPU, 5MP rear camera, 521MB of RAM, MicroSD card support (up to 64GB), 8GB of internal memory, and a 1,430 mAh battery, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, A-GPS, Bluetoth 3.0 and Windows Phone 8 OS.

Use NMR safely
The magnet of a spectrometer is always at field. NMR magnets are stronger than the electromagnets used to move old cars around at the junkyard. Therefore, no movable metal objects should be allowed within 3 meters of the instrument.
- Small, sharp metal objects flying towards the magnet are highly dangerous. They can reach speed approaching 45 mph entering the bore of the magnet. These objects can cause personal injury or death if there is anyone between them and the center of the magnet. Larger objects are troublesome to scrape off the magnet, and can seriously damage the magnet.
- Persons fitted with pacemakers should not enter rooms containing spectrometers. Magnetic fields may affect heart pacemakers.
- Magnetic fields may permanently damage watches, calculators, certain types of credit cards, mobile phones, or maybe your ipod. Keep those items more than 2.5 m away from the center of magnet.
- Metal belt buckles, steel tipped shoes, paper clips, hair pins, and any other metal on the person may be strongly attracted when close to the magnet.
- Persons fitted with metallic implants and prostheses should not get closer than 2.5 m of a magnet.
- If you hear noise of the escaping gas or see clouds of vapor, immediately leave NMR room. Those signs are from the leaks of liquid nitrogen or helium. Although nitrogen and helium are non-toxic, they may cause asphyxiation in a confined space.
- Inserting sample often requires using a stool or ladder. Be careful not to lose your balance and fall.

Jörg Schaaf demonstrates the range of the Radikal Spectralis hybrid synthesizer with his track Autumn Rain.
The Spectralis offers the combination of a powerful subtractive Synthesizer, a pattern based Sequencer optimized for live performance and a sampling DSP synth engine.
About the track, Schaaf notes:
All what you hear comes live from one Spectralis 2 synthesizer recorded simply from the stereo main out. No external FXs were used. Just the two built in digital delays are giving some room and atmosphere. The song gives an impression about the dynamic range of this incredible synth.
Schaaf is one of the creators of the Spectralis.

It takes a community to lead a revolution
By marg on Apr 29, 2008
Today Sun kicks off an open storage initiative that combines open software with industry standard hardware that delivers significant costs savings over proprietary storage products. Sun is announcing an open storage platform that's based on OpenSolaris software with integrated features - think ZFS- making it ideal for storage servers like Sun's Sunfire 4500. Just like the revolution that began with servers not quite a decade ago, storage users will benefit from industry standard hardware and open source software.
This is pretty revolutionary when you think about it. Open storage gives users the flexibility to deploy storage easily with open software based on open standards on any general purpose components.
As a Sun marketing person preparing for this announcement. I've spent time recently with the OpenSolaris Storage Community Facilitator, Jeff Cheeney, to get a first hand look at how the community is changing the way storage is being deployed.
The best endorsement of open storage comes from two recent interviews with companies participating in the OpenSolaris Storage community that leverage OpenSolaris to deliver NAS storage software solutions to enterprise customers and build an Open SAN infrastructure.
The first interview was with Even Powell CEO of Nexenta. They've participated in the OpenSolaris storage community since 2006 and leverage the Solaris kernel and the innovation provided by ZFS to deliver a NAS software solution for enterprise customers. Like Sun, they believe that enterprise customers are eager to find alternatives to the high cost of proprietary storage as data continue to grow faster than their budgets allow or legacy storage architectures can scale.
You can listen to the entire audio interview between Evan Powell CEO of Nexenta and Jeff Cheeney, Sun's OpenSolaris Storage Community Facilitator
The second interview was with Greg Perry, CEO of LiveAmmo. Greg told us that while searching to find alternatives to the high cost of traditional SANs when they set out to build a storage environment for their VMware training project it became obvious that OpenSolaris and the innovation provided by ZFS and COMSTAR would allow them to build a remote data center that can be accessed by 100s of students at a time for a fraction of the cost over traditional SAN vendor solutions. He describes how OpenSolaris allows them to compete without giving up enterprise reliability at ¼ of the cost and their dialog with Sun engineers in the community clinched the deal. You can listen to the entire audio interview between Greg Perry, CEO of LiveAmmo and Jeff Cheeney, Sun's OpenSolarisStorage Community Facilitator
Both describe their shift to open storage in revolutionary terms as a result of the heavy cost they would have to pay for proprietary storage solutions. Open storage is the real deal. If you've ever thought about joining a revolution now's your chance!

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- An Army soldier who is the daughter of the St. Petersburg Police Department's assistant chief has died in Afghanistan.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that 24-year-old Spc. Brittany Gordon died.
She was the daughter of Assistant Police Chief Cedric Gordon and his former wife, Brenda Gordon. On Saturday, the Army informed the family of her death.
The newspaper says Gordon appears to be the first military woman from the area -- Pinellas, Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties -- to die in the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Department of Defense says about 20,000 of the 205,000 service members currently serving in Afghanistan are women. As of February, 144 military women were killed and 865 wounded in combat and noncombat incidents in both Iraq and Afghanistan.

It's a village by the bay with a big marina, eclectic shops, and family-owned restaurants.
"Just a lovely family community with a lot of history, some older buildings, nostalgia, and the beautiful waters of St. Andrew bay. You can't beat that," said longtime resident and Owner of St. Andrew's Coffeehouse, Ellen Maplesdon.
It's downtown St. Andrew's, one of the oldest areas in Bay County.
"You've got people opening up businesses that grew up here as little kids. I'm one. We remember it, we want to create new memories for kids," said Maplesdon.
Maplesdon and other area business owners hope a working relationship with Panama City Police will help preserve the pristine image of St. Andrews. But right now, they have some concerns.
"Another problem we've had is people panhandling. As our customers come in the store we have to run them off. I believe there are people that are homeless that are living under boardwalk in the park and that's one of our gems in St. Andrews is the beautiful park we have," said Owner of Two Sisters gift shop, Angela Tucker.
Another big issue for all parties is loud noise late at night.
"Because of the residential area combined with the business district that they have down here, we're going to address that issue. We're also going to be addressing some nuisance issues that they've been having. Some disorderedly conduct, disorderly intoxication and the open container issue as well," said Sgt. Chris Edmundson with the Panama City Police Department.
"Communities grow that feel safe. And we believe that we have a good thing going here in St. Andrew's and we want to keep it that way," said Director of the CRA, William Whitson.
Business owners believe this is a step in the right direction.
"Our visitors like to come here because it's different. It's off the beaten path and we would like to keep it unique and friendly and safe," said Tucker.
The meeting will be going on until about 7p.m. at Truesdell park in the clubhouse on 10th street.

Posts Tagged 'Nathan Fletcher'
by John Nienstedt, President, Competitive Edge Research & Communication
My firm, Competitive Edge, uses Perception Analyzer™ dials to test TV ads, speeches, debate performance and even movies. Remember the movie "2016: Obama's America"? We dial-tested it to uncover some fascinating findings about what aspects of the film – down to the second — influenced voters' thinking.
TV ads are our most common dial test subjects. And why not? When campaigns have hundreds of thousands of dollars in ad buys to execute, they need to know what to bet on and what to avoid. Campaigns should employ dial-testing to make their ads stick with voters.
Nathan Fletcher and his supportive committees have some 'splaining to do.
On Sunday, center-left blog San Diego Politico alleged a potential ethics violation committed by Nathan Fletcher for Mayor and his supportive "Restoring Trust in San Diego – A Committee to Support Nathan Fletcher for Mayor 2013… with major funding by Dr. Irwin Jacobs and Joan Jacobs" over a TV ad that was rumored to have been produced by the candidate and reproduced to include the "Restoring Trust" disclaimer. Stay tuned viewers…
On a related "Restoring Trust" committee disclaimer front, let's turn to its controversial mailers.
The Labor Council joins the fray with a three-panel walk piece, in support of David Alvarez and criticizing Nathan Fletcher for what is inferred as a Qualcomm pay-to-play scheme:
"After serving in the Marines, Fletcher served in the State Assembly. He then got a six figure salary 'no-show job' with Qualcomm after using his position in the Legislature to help secure them a multi-million dollar tax break."
The question is whether Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs is as disappointed in the Labor Council as he is with the Lincoln Club?
(click for larger images)
See all the mail from the Lincoln Club in the last two weeks.
And who said mail was dead? After the first two rather notorious Lincoln Club mail pieces on Nathan Fletcher hit mailboxes this week, the third seems to hint at a pattern of behavior.
The latest piece quotes Shawn Steel as one of Fletcher's former employers saying he "cannot be trusted to do the job."
The first mail of the 2013 mayoral race, it appears, from the Lincoln Club of San Diego. It looks like it started hitting mailboxes on Saturday.
From County Republican Chairman Tony Krvaric's email to "San Diego Leadership Team" members yesterday. Reprinted with permission.
The week started out great for Republicans, as we emerged united behind Kevin Faulconer for San Diego mayor, and continued all week as impressive endorsements started rolling in for Kevin.
By contrast, the campaign of Nathan Fletcher AKA "The Magic Democrat" had a VERY VERY VERY VERY BAD week.
Let's look at it day by day…
Last night the Nathan Fletcher campaign was doing polling in San Diego. The entire set of questions was leaked. Another stumble out of the gate for this supposed team of professionals. The first one of course was the leak of his candidacy the morning of Mayor Filner's resignation. Oops, cancel the planned big announcement!
The poll reveals much about the thinking in the Fletcher campaign which is rumored to have dumped Tom Shepard in favor of a pure union consultant firm. Hey, when you go union you have to go ALL IN. Well, they seem to have their work cut out for them. as I've never seen a more vapid, manufactured candidate in my life.
It's a time-honored New Year's tradition to review all the new laws taking effect starting on January 1. So I thought I'd get a look at new laws affected Rostrafarians in California. I nearly choked on my breakfast when I looked at the number. There are 837 new laws taking effect as of today. Seriously? Our state was so far askew we needed over 800 pieces of legislation passed to patch us up? Holy moly.
The race to become mayor of the City of San Diego has narrowed down to two finalists. In this policy brief the National University System Institute for Policy Research (NUSIPR) analyzed newly released electoral data from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters' office using GIS software.

Politics & Media Mashup
I worked on a campaign with local pollster John Nienstedt a couple years ago and after he explained in a group email – a few days before the election – that we were going to win someone sent a reply all message that said: "The Oracle has spoken."
I thought of that Friday at a luncheon as I listened to Nienstedt break down Tuesday's election.
We texted the San Diego mayoral candidates and asked them, "What movie and song best describes your campaign?"
Here are their replies:
That's easy. Movie: The Empire Strikes Back. Song: "Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent. In case you haven't noticed, we're a laser focused take-no-prisoners team of crusaders armed with a Roadmap that returns Republican control to San Diego.
We see Purple at Team Fletcher, so we end every day by huddling up and watching Barney's Great Adventure. Everyone is welcome! We start every morning with "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette. It reminds our former partners we're doing just fine, and that pumps us up.
Politics & Media Mashup
I wrote a post six months ago comparing the Klout scores of San Diego mayoral candidates, council members and a few others who know their way around Facebook and Twitter. It generated a little buzz.
Tony Krvaric, Todd Gloria and others compared their scores on Twitter. Former U-T San Diego columnist Tom Blair mentioned the post in one of his columns and it was the subject of a short 10News story.
Klout is not without problems, so I took a little ribbing.
The San Diego Association of REALTORS® (SDAR), San Diego County Taxpayers Association and The Lincoln Club of San Diego County hosted today's debate at the Town and Country Resort and Conference Center.
SDAR wants to thank all of the candidates for a spirited debate, the 500 or so people who filled the ballroom and those of you who watched and tweeted from home and work.
10News will broadcast the debate Saturday at 7PM. So tune in, and don't forget to vote Tuesday!
What follows is a mashup of news coverage, tweets, photos, which will be updated.
Politics & Media Mashup
We're 10 days out from Election Day and here is what we know about the San Diego mayoral race:
- Carl DeMaio is in.
- The second spot looks like it's going to go down to the wire. Bob Filner is carrying a slight edge over Nathan Fletcher.
- Trailing behind is Bonnie Dumanis, but she's not going down without a fight.
Two separate sources I trust told me this week some of the latest polling numbers show DeMaio in the high 20s/low 30s; Filner in the low 20s and Fletcher in the high teens.
The San Diego Association of REALTORS® (SDAR), one of my clients, is hosting the last major mayoral debate.
- When: Wednesday, May 30
- Time: Registration & VIP Reception at 11AM; Lunch at 11:45AM; Debate at 12:15PM
- Location: Town & County Conference Center in Mission Valley.
- Debate is in the Golden Pacific Ballroom. VIP Reception is for media, candidates and guests and is in Royal Palm Salon 5.
This should be an exceptional debate since it's so close to Election Day, June 5.
Politics & Media Mashup
Good videos are an effective way to communicate a message, especially since many of us are attached to iPhones and iPads.
I believe political videos will eventually replace mail pieces and most news releases. Won't that be nice! That's a post for another day.
Today I decided to mashup the best and worst campaign videos from San Diego mayoral candidates Bonnie Dumanis, Carl DeMaio and Nathan Fletcher. I didn't include Bob Filner, who also is running for mayor, because he hasn't produced any videos. How apropo.
Smart governing decisions saving taxpayer dollars and collaborative initiatives took top honors, while cavalier attitudes and lost opportunities were called out and shamed at the San Diego County Taxpayers Association (SDCTA)'s 17th annual Goldens Awards Dinner, held at the Town and Country Resort & Convention Center in Mission Valley.
Remote controls were nowhere in sight as the evening's theme "Taxpayer TV: We Can't Make This $#!% Up!" entertained the appreciative audience who shared the details of the exclusive video parodies highlighting the program via social media. As in past programs, elected officials, members of the news media and other public figures willingly humiliated themselves in a good-natured send-up of the year in government news and achievements in San Diego.
Just in time could be my life's mantra. I am reminded by Thor's Assistant that no Official Drinking Game has been devised for tonight's epic 17th annual San Diego County Taxpayers Golden Fleece and Watchdog Awards.
Calling Ms. Tipit to the rescue.

We texted the following image to each of the San Diego mayoral candidates and asked them, "What's the first thing that comes to mind when you see this photo?"
Here are their replies:

There's no port there either!!
I'm giving the paper an exclusive on my move to the middle. Read all about it on June 6th.
Assemblyman Fletcher maintained his impeccable
70% 71% absence rate today.
The State Assembly voted on 35 proposed laws today, bringing Fletcher's total missed votes to a whopping 263 this year.
In addition to the floor votes, Assemblyman Fletcher skipped a vote on a controversial tax increase that was voted on in the Revenue and Taxation committee. For the full story, see the DeMaio press release earlier today: http://carldemaio.com/news/2012/05/14/will-fletcher-vote-controversial-tax-increase-today
Assembly Bill 1500 passed the Revenue and Taxation Committee. Fletcher was absent and has refused to state a position on the legislation.
Would he care to take a stand on AB 1500 here on Rostra?
It was a rough week for Team Fletcher. Let's recap the week's events.
Sunday (5/6/12)
- The BIG endorsement of Carl DeMaio from the UT San Diego.
Monday (5/7/12)
- A mailpiece highlighted Nathan's record of voting for tax increases.
- Fletcher's high rate of no-shows and missing votes caught up with him when he asked to be removed from his Committee to avoid a tax increase vote. A No vote would anger the unions he has been desperately courting so it was better to get out of town. Voters and the media got an up close example of what he has been doing all year. Kudos to the Sacramento Bee for breaking it before the locals.
Politics & Media Mashup
Some believe Nathan Fletcher is at war with U-T San Diego. I wouldn't call it war, but relations certainly are chilly.
Fletcher's expectations for his morning newspaper aren't what they used to be. That might not be a big deal if the election wasn't less than a month away.
For all its troubles, the U-T is still the biggest game in town, meaning it could play a significant role in the San Diego mayoral race. Some insiders believe the race is down to Fletcher, Carl DeMaio and Bob Filner. Only the top two vote getters move on after the June 5 primary election. So a rough few weeks of coverage in the U-T could finish Fletcher, who has been surging since leaving the Republican Party in March.

Continuing from part one, award-winning filmmakers and musicians Robyn Rosenkrantz (Producer, Songwriter) and Michael Glover (Director, Screenwriter, Songwriter) discuss gratitude for the beautiful experience anticipated with the special, significant sneak peak event for their Go with Le Flo film.
W.E. What are you most enthusiastic about in regards to the exciting February 24 event?
R.R. We've always loved performing live as Bright Blue Gorilla. Most Filmmakers don't get to see their movies with many different audiences. But because we tour with our movies, doing concerts and screenings at art house cinemas, we get the chance to watch with hundreds of audiences around the world. It's thrilling and scary when the lights go out and the movie starts rolling. Are they going to laugh? Are they going to walk out? You never know! The element of surprise and also having a beautiful group experience together, makes for a super inspiring night!
M.G. The Goethe event came to us via the German Consulate and we are thrilled to have them both behind the film, supporting the film. We've always made our movies sort of as "art for art's sake" - just to make something we (all the artists involved) felt was worthwhile. But it's rewarding when more established people and entities, like Goethe-Institut, get behind it. The reaction to our do-it-yourself feature films has always been good but with Go with Le Flo we're receiving a whole new level of support. Much appreciated too!
The film premieres on April 11 in Los Angeles. The interview continues with part three and a discussion of influences.

National Post ·
TORONTO - The president of Hydro One resigned yesterday and walked away with a $3-million severance package only four days after Ontario's Auditor-General raised concerns about the use of corporate credit cards at the company.
Tom Parkinson is the second head of the Crown agency in a row to lose his job over expense- account controversies. His predecessor, Eleanor Clitheroe, was fired after her salary, severance package and expense claims raised a political furor in 2002.
"I believe Mr. Parkinson's departure is in the best interest of Ontario ratepayers, Hydro One and its employees," Dwight Duncan, the Energy Minister, said yesterday.
"The board has decided to honour the severance provisions outlined in his contract. I'm advised that it is, in all probability, the least costly resolution under these circumstances."
Mr. Parkinson came under fire before a legislative committee earlier this fall for his $1.6-million salary, which made him the highest paid public servant in the province, and his decision to travel on several occasions to and from cottage country on the transmission utility's helicopter. On one occasion, his young son travelled with him.
His undoing, however, came this week in the aftermath of a provincial Auditor-General's report that raised concerns about credit card practices at the utility.
Auditor Jim McCarter reported that Mr. Parkinson used his secretary's corporate credit card to bill $45,000 in travel and other expenses that he subsequently personally approved.
The charges included $11,000 for a trip to Australia that was provided for in the Australian-born Mr. Parkinson's contract as well as $15,000 for an office move. Mr. McCarter also noted that throughout 2005, Hydro One employees charged more than $127-million to corporate credit cards, but expense reports and receipts were often insufficient to determine the legitimacy of the purchases.
Both Premier Dalton McGuinty and Mr. Duncan expressed displeasure with the situation and insisted changes to Hydro One's corporate culture are long overdue.
Yesterday, in a press release, the Crown corporation's board of directors, chaired by the province's former chief bureaucrat Rita Burak, said, "Tom leaves with the admiration and best wishes of our board."
They also expressed "full and ongoing confidence" in Mr. Parkinson's leadership.
"However, in consultation with Tom and in light of the circumstances, we have decided, with deep regret, to accept Tom's resignation."
Mr. Duncan insisted that he has "confidence in the ability of the board to manage the affairs of the company."
The Minister said he will rely on the board to conduct the search for a new president and to recommend appropriate compensation for the new recruit.
He ruled out setting an upper limit for pay.
New Democrats at Queen's Park have noted that the head of Quebec Hydro earns $480,000 per year while the president of B.C. Hydro receives $405,000 annually and that they are responsible for both electricity generation and transmission in their respective provinces.
In Ontario, Hydro One oversees the delivery of electricity while Ontario Power Generation produces most of the power.
OPG president Jim Hankinson will be paid $830,000 this year plus a bonus of $830,000 if he meets performance targets.
Conservative leader John Tory said in a statement yesterday that instead of changing the culture at Hydro One the McGuinty government is "allowing a culture of entitlement and disrespect for taxpayers.
"If Mr. Parkinson really quit, he should not get severance. In Northern Ontario where high hydro rates were a big contributor to thousands of people losing their jobs, they're not getting severance like this."
NDP leader Howard Hampton demanded a public inquiry to investigate salaries and spending practices at the power transmission utility as well as at other government agencies involved in the province's electricity system.
He dismissed suggestions that Hydro One needs to pay high salaries to attract the best and the brightest.
"Other provinces run their hydro electric utilities on a much more frugal basis.
"They don't seem to have any trouble getting competent, capable people."
Hydro One's credit card practices came under scrutiny this year after the McGuinty government granted the provincial auditor expanded powers to conduct value-for-money audits at institutions in the broader public sector and Crown corporations in addition to the provincial ministries that traditionally come under his scrutiny.
Laura Formusa, Hydro One's general counsel and a member of the board of directors, has been appointed to act as the utility's acting president until a full-time replacement for Mr. Parkinson can be found.
Ms. Clitheroe came under fire after she spent a reported $330,000 on limousines over three years, sometimes using the service to transport her nanny and children to appointments. She also had a company car.

The Forgotten Affairs of Youth
Philosopher and Edinburgh resident Isabel Dalhousie is acclimatising to life as a wife-to-be and mother to two-year-old Charlie when her niece, Cat, asks her for a favour. Isabel is introduced to Jane, a fellow philosopher and an Australian, who was adopted at birth and needs Isabel's help in tracking down her birth parents, who Jane believes were Scottish.
Thus begins the fourth novel in Alexander McCall Smith's charming Sunday Philosophy Club series. Followers of Dr Dalhousie's previous exploits will not be disappointed, but neither will newcomers to the series as the mystery at the centre of the novel is intriguing from the outset, drawing us into the cosy world of Isabel's Edinburgh and its unusual cast of characters. Indeed, it is a pleasant surprise to read a novel that is so character-driven, especially when the characters in question are so three-dimensional.
The Forgotten Affairs of Youth is a beautifully written and elegantly thought out piece of fiction; like his protagonist, McCall Smith demonstrates a delightful capacity for ruminating on some of life's bigger questions. There is also a final narrative twist that propels the plot through the final pages, dispelling any doubts the reader might have about the author's talents as a writer of plot-driven fiction. Most of all, Isabel's philosophical musings provide an excellent opportunity to raise all sorts of questions for the reader and encourage a similarly thoughtful state of mind.
The Forgotten Affairs of Youth is a book to be savoured, a slim volume to be read slowly and enjoyed at one's leisure.

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – The use of testosterone therapy has been linked to a twofold increase in the likelihood of heart attack in men under the age of 65 who have a history of heart disease, according to a new study from UCLA and the National Institutes of Health.
Researchers examined data from Truven Health Analytics, which aggregated health data on 55,593 men who had been prescribed testosterone therapy. Testosterone therapies, often marketed as a treatment for "low T," outsold Viagra last year, according to the independent website Drugs.com. Researchers found men under the age of 65 with a history of heart disease had a twofold increase in heart attacks when on testosterone therapy, and all men over the age of 65 using the therapy had double the risk of heart attack.
"The extensive and rapidly increasing use of testosterone treatment and the evidence of risk of heart attack underscore the urgency of further large studies of the risks and the benefits of this treatment," senior author Sander Greenland was quoted as saying. "Patients and their physicians should discuss the risk of heart attacks when considering testosterone therapy."

A 21-year-old Stuttgart woman may be facing charges after a night club fight early Sunday morning in Stuttgart.
Stuttgart Police Department Sgt. Keith Smith was dispatched to Baptist Health Medical Center-Stuttgart at 3:23 a.m. in response to a person "who had been beat up."
The 21-year-old victim said she had been dancing at Casey's, located in the 100 block of North Maple, when a woman came up behind her and attacked.
She told the officer it happened just before closing time at the nightclub, and she did not know why the woman attacked her. According to the SPD incident report, the woman suffered from cuts and scratches on her face and shoulder.
The charge, if pursued by the victim, could be third-degree battery, which is a misdemeanor offense.

|Director of Sports Medicine
|Boulder, Colo.
|High School:
|Alma Mater:
|Colorado '88/'93 (M.D.)
Dr. Eric McCarty is in his 13th year working with the CU athletic program, joining the sports medicine team in July 2003.� But he's certainly no stranger to the University or to Boulder.
McCarty, 50, accepted the Chief of Sports Medicine and Shoulder Surgery position in the Department of Orthopedics at CU's Health Sciences Center in Denver, where he also is an associate professor, enabling him to return to his home state where he starred as both a prep and collegian.
He returned to CU from Vanderbilt University, where he was an orthopedic surgeon, assistant professor and team physician for the Commodores' athletic teams for four years.
McCarty is the head team physician for both the University of Colorado and University of Denver athletic programs.� As a board-certified orthopedic surgeon his specialized practice involves the care of collegiate athletes as well as recreational and highly competitive athletes from the community.� A large part of his practice is the sports medicine care of high school athletes in the state of Colorado.
He graduated in 1988 from CU with a degree in kinesiology and a 3.75 grade point average.� A four-time Academic All-Big Eight team member, the first in school history to be honored four times, he was an Academic All-American his senior year, when he reached the finalist stage for the Rhodes Scholarship.� On the field, he earned first-team All-Big Eight honors as a senior, when he led the Buffaloes with 148 tackles, the fourth highest total at the time in team history.�� He had 237 career tackles in two years on defense, after moving over from offense where he played fullback (503 career rushing yards), and earned four letters.
He earned his M.D., with honors, in 1993 from the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Denver, and did his internship residency at Vanderbilt in orthopedic surgery between 1993 and 1998.� Shortly thereafter, he spent a year at the internationally renowned Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City, where he received a fellowship in sports medicine and shoulder surgery.� While residing in New York, he worked with the NFL's New York Giants.� During this time is when he obtained his expertise in the arthroscopic and open surgical management of sports injuries to the knees and shoulders as well as a special emphasis in the management of complex shoulder problems including shoulder instability, rotator cuff tears and shoulder replacement surgery for arthritis.
In addition to his busy clinical practice, Dr. McCarty is very active in research, teaching, and writing articles in the field of sports medicine and knee and shoulder surgery.� He has received grants for his research and has given numerous talks at both the national and international level.� One of his many interests is the care of the high school athlete, and his background allows him the ability to understand the issues surrounding the prep athlete.�
McCarty has been the recipient of over four dozen awards in his professional career, and has had papers published on 15 occasions while contributing to several others.
He was born November 16, 1964 in Lundstuhl, West Germany.� He graduated from Boulder High School in 1983, where he was the state's player of the year as a senior and considered one of the nation's top recruits after rushing for 1,301 and 13 touchdowns; he won the prestigious Denver Post Gold Helmet Award that same year.� He is married to the former Miriam Liddell, and they have four children, Madeleine (20), Eric Cleveland, Jr. (18), Shannon (15) and Torrance (13).

Cosmetic Surgery- A Blessing in Disguise
by Dr. Enozia Vakil on March 18, 2013 at 11:53 AM Health Watch - G J E 4
It's hard to find a technological innovation that doesn't face criticism and controversies. And today, where numerous researches are being done on introducing more and more new medications and instruments for achieving health, the tabloids seem to focus the blunders and mis-happenings of these researches.
Cosmetic surgery, stuck to the credit of film stars and actors, has faced a number of controversies. And why not? There are many people having reported an unsuccessful surgery, and it has cost them a lot-be it a nose-reconstruction surgery or a tummy tuck. But we've resorted to looking at the brighter side of it, bringing you all the reasons why you definitely should go for it. Read on...
AdvertisementIt corrects the wrong: Being born with a flat nose or a huge mole doesn't really mean you have to live with it. A surgery could really change the way you look, and it could impact you big! Cosmetic surgery is a wonderful boon of science, excellent at correcting physical deformities and improving appearance. Reconstructive surgery can be extremely beneficial for those suffering from congenital anomalies and extensive scarring.
It boosts your confidence: There's no question about it - the way you look at yourself has a huge impact on your confidence levels. And getting a plastic surgery can build it. Statistics reveal that patients having undergone plastic surgery to enhance appearance had a good social circle, and it improved their ability to interact.
Trauma from an accident or burn marks from a fire can leave both - your face and your confidence scarred for life. With cosmetic surgery at your disposal, you may be able to overcome the trauma better.
It improves your quality of life: An accident can leave you dented, but surgery can lend you back your life. Plastic surgery can have benefits on both-your physical and emotional self. If you're happy, you'll live happier, and with confidence. Many people have experienced fears and inadequacy melting away after the surgery.
Though cosmetic surgery itself has a number of benefits, it also carries along with it a handful of risks and complications. Consulting your surgeon for a detailed analysis, calculating the risks of the surgery, is essential; after all, you don't want to end up looking disfigured than before.
Points to remember: Plastic surgery carries with it a risk of infections, and a bit of pain, and a lot of recovery time. The next big fearsome thing about getting a cosmetic surgery is that you can't get a guaranteed 'makeover'. Always remember to list down mentally the benefits and disadvantages of the surgery; you can't go back once you've done it.

Fans of "The Originals" saw more than one game-changing moment during the season one finale, and next season is promising big things. Mikael is back. Esther appears to be back. Hope is off with Aunt Rebekah, and Haley is now a hybrid. Yes. game-changer is the only word that fits the finale episode. On May 14, Julie Plec shared a bit about what fans can look forward to next season with Entertainment Weekly.
Production began on season two of this series long before the finale aired last night. The action is moving forward, and Klaus will do all he can to rid New Orleans of the witches that want his child dead. He has bought his family time because they believe Baby Mikaelson is dead. She isn't though. Claire Holt returned to the series as Rebekah, and she has taken the baby off into hiding. Julie Plec revealed that fans will see Rebekah again on the series, but the plot line surrounding the baby in hiding will not be a main focus.
The final moments of the finale saw a witch return, and she was not alone. Esther is back, and she wanted to kill her children since she appeared on "The Vampire Diaries." Her mission is still to end them, but she will not be the only witch in town. Lenore will be another witch that will pop during episode three of season two, and she will be another foe for Klaus. Season two will also introduce a paranormal psychologist and a rocker chick, according to Wetpaint Entertainment.
This series has changed things completely with the finale. Fans may see more of Klaus' family pop up before the end of season two. Mikael is also back, and Davina will use him at some point. A family reunion in New Orleans? That is a definite for "The Originals."
What do you think? Are you ready to see what happens next for Klaus? Share your thoughts below.

Why doesn't this command work? When I enter the external address of my firewall, the redirect doesn't work and I end up on the default web page of my firewall.

Vacation home is loved by all and it brings a lot of relaxation and rejuvenation to everyone's life. Some people love to have an expensive vacation home and do whatever it takes including up-gradation, renovation or repairing to make it look luxurious.
However, it is difficult to define and decide what to do on one's own. And that is exactly why one should hire a space planning expert. So what do these experts do? How do they design and renovate a nice vacation rental for you in a limited budget? Let us take a look:
Washroom Vs Kitchen: Make a choice
As it can be quite an extensive process to revamp bathroom and kitchen, one has to look into the financial planning too. In such a situation, you can decide to update either the old kitchen to get better space or change the design of your bathroom to enhance the value of your vacation home. Ask the elevations specialist to suggest you with the ongoing trends so that your home can get a great look
Enhanced entertainment
With so many technical enhancements happening around us, there's always a scope to add some gadgets and entertainment facilities to the entertainment area in your vacation home. Ask the designer to create a traditional entertainment area with great looking furniture and add the latest LEDs and speakers to make your home theatre look perfect. Get rid of the old and drab box TV!
Make first impression the last one
In a positive way ofcourse! And if you ask a space planning expert about it, she will always ask you to change the old and torn out roofs, slides with stains, rusted stuff and peeled paints from your walls. Moreover she will provide you with the ideas to improve the curb appeal of the house and maintain your property once the changes are made.
Landscaping the exteriors
When you want to go for landscaping, it is must to take help from an elevation specialist. Ask your designer to create a lounge or a patio outside your house so that you can relax and spend a good time with your loved ones and stroll along the green pathways in the exterior of your house. However, you must have someone to take care of the plants and trees so that they don't wither away in your absence.
Alluring Alternatives
Yes. Every vacation villa must have an extra room for indulging in different activities. Talk to your designer in Chicago if she can plan another living area or basement for you and change it into a fitness, craft or a games room. The designer will evaluate the available space and suggest you whether you should go for such option or not.
So what are you waiting for? Before going on the next holiday, make sure you hire a designer and make your old vacation home look like a new one!

Men found in South Side home died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning
Two men who were found dead in an Englewood neighborhood home Tuesday afternoon both died of accidental carbon monoxide poisoning, autopsies have found.
Police officers conducting a well-being check Tuesday at the home on the 6200 block of South Wolcott Avenue found the bodies of Willie Billups, 68, and Tyrone Wrenn, 42.
The bodies were discovered about 1:15 p.m. by police conducting a well-being check after some people who were concerned because they had not seen the men recently contacted police, News Affairs Officer Darryl Baety said.
Officers saw the bodies through a window in the front of the home and called paramedics, Baety said.The two were both found dead on the floor of the home, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office.
Autopsies on Wednesday found that both men died of carbon monoxide poisoning caused by inadequate ventilation of fossil fuel-powered heating equipment, according to the medical examiner's office. Their deaths were ruled accidents.

Simon Cowell got a great Valentine's Day surprise, as girlfriend Lauren Silverman gave birth to a baby boy on Friday, Feb. 14, 2014 according to news reports.
This is the first child for Cowell, who is the creator for the reality television show X-Factor in both the United States and the UK. Silverman has one other son from her previous marriage to Andrew Silerman, who was once Cowell's best friend.
Silverman went into labor on Friday morning in New York city while Cowell was across the pond in the UK. He immediately hopped a private jet to get back to New York City. Silverman gave birth at 5:45 p.m.
The new baby came into the world weighing 6 lb.s and 7 oz.'s and will carry Cowell's last name. The couple named their new son, Eric, which was said to be named after Cowell's dad.
Cowell and Silverman have been together since the fall of last year. Silverman was married to Andrew Silverman at the time, who filed for divorce. The new couple went public shortly after divorce papers were filed.
Cowell told reporters yesterday that the new baby was "healthy and handsome" and that he did not expect Silverman to be a "single mother." It sounds like wedding bells will be ringing soon.

Cooking Free With Freestanding Kitchen Cabinets
From Dean Dowd on October 28, 2010 in Kitchen Remodel
Built-in kitchen cabinets can be overrated. Sure, they feel elegant and official, but freestanding cabinets can allow for one of the most important principles in the kitchen: flexibility.
And freestanding doesn't have to mean skimpy or "unofficial." From IKEA to Amish design, these cabinets are worth having around as permanently as any built-in.
Need help with your kitchen remodel planning? Find out how much a minor remodel will cost you here, and then check out the cabinet photos below for inspiration.
Enjoy, and think outside the box!

Kim Kardashian may be gushing over her "magical" engagement to Kanye West, but there's one man out there who, we think, may be even more pumped than the reality star: the mysterious third man, who was captured grinning ear to ear in an Instagram photo of the couple after Kanye put a ring on it.
Kanye and Kardashian's closest friends and family gathered at AT&T Park in San Francisco on Monday so that he could pop the question to the mother of his child. The event was lavish to the max, with 'Ye renting out not only an entire MLB stadium, but also a 50-piece orchestra. Oh, and the 15-carat engagement ring he slipped on her finger wasn't too shabby, either. We weren't at the fete — must have lost the invitation in the mail — but we imagine the joy was contagious.
Still, no one appeared to be feeling it more than the man we have come to dub "Third Man," a bearded guest standing to the left of Kim and Kanye in an Instagram photo. Yup, Kanye and Kim might be smiling from ear to ear, but this dude's toothy grin — one that goes all the way up to his eyes — has them beat. "Happy for them" just seems like an understatement.
Inspired by Third Man's benevolent glow, MTV News has imagined four other instances that the smiling bro could potential shine his love light on. Check them out below:
Third Man Is Happy For Buzz Aldrin
Third Man has traveled back to 1969 to pay a visit to Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on that big ol' rock floating around in space. Needless to say, he's over the moon for Buzz (get it?!).
Third Man Is Happy For The Obamas
We're not sure about Third Man's political allegiances, but who can help but smile at the embrace that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama shared after his 2012 re-election? Third Man certainly cannot. Group hug, guys? … Guys?
Third Man Is Happy For The Royals
Prince William's goddaughter Grace Van Cutsem may have been overwhelmed by all the noise during 2011's royal wedding, but Third Man is just as pleased as punch by the lights and cheering and stately glitz. That's why we subbed him in for the 3-year-old flower girl. Better brush up on your skipping skills, dude.
Third Man Is Happy The War Is Over
Third Man is a pacifist, so when World War II ended, well, that was a good day for him. We do believe we see the beginnings of jealousy right there in the eyes, though — seeing as how he wasn't the one getting smooched in Times Square. Chin up, there, Third Man — nice guys don't always finish last.

The camp provides great outdoor opportunities for individual units, district, council, and outsider groups. It is located on Lake Chapin and is within close proximity of Lake Michigan & Warren Dunes State Park.
Camp Authority
Camp Betz is operated by the Calumet Council, Boy Scouts of America under the leadership and authority of the Camp Caretaker. A group of interested volunteer scouters (Called Campmasters) assist with camp check in and check out. Council programs held at Camp Betz are under the leadership and authority of the event Directors.
Camp Betz Rules and Regulations
All units must be under constant adult supervision at all times. The Guide to Safe Scouting rule of a minimum of two leaders for any Scouting outing applies to all units and groups using our camp.

My first ever tent making project was the Henry Shires Tarp Tent, and there is a very elaborate and detailed set of plans still available online for it's construction. I bought a kit years back with all the materials needed, however I am unable to find it online anymore, so perhaps it is no longer being made. The directions are enough to work with though, and you can buy the materials from any outdoor fabric place online, or Amazon.
I made a few alterations to the original design, in hopes to make it a bit more bug resistant. Shires calls for no floor inside the tent, but to place pack items around the perimeter to keep the tent sealed up. I prefer to have a sewn in tub style floor and a completely surprise free tent, so I used a piece of a hardware store tarp. This did add a lot more weight than if I were to have used other fabric, but the extra protection from rocks and the ground I believe to be worth it. In the images I placed the tent on another blue tarp just to keep it clean since I was still working on it. The tent itself has a solid floor made of the same material, so the large blue tarp on the ground in the pictures was only there to keep the actual tent from getting dirty.
In the picture on the left you can see the separate floor that is sewn into the tent, and also how the side screening works. The left side is designed to be lifted during nicer weather to allow air circulation inside the tent. It can also be pitched lower in the case of rain or colder nights. The front beak is not in place to make it easier to see inside the tent, but both the front and rear faces can be completely closed off should a rain storm hit. All in all this is a relatively small shelter, but large enough for one person and their gear to be comfortable. It is very light weight even with the tarp floor in place, and since you can pitch it with a couple sticks that you find on the ground, you really don't need any tent poles either. This particular tent also rolls down to a very small size, and pretty much disappears inside your backpack. It's a fun project with an inexpensive price tag.

TUCSON, Ariz.The 16th-ranked University of Arizona women's gymnastics team topped Central Michigan and Iowa, finishing in second place in its 2000 season home-opener tonight in front of a crowd of 720, in the McKale Center. Arizona (2-1 overall, 0-1 Pac-10) scored a 192.675, while Central Michigan (4-2 overall, 1-0 Mid-American) recorded a 191.850, and Iowa (0-3 overall, 0-0 Big 10) ended the meet with a 190.775. Third-ranked UCLA (4-4 overall, 1-0 Pac-10) took the meet title with a score of 196.300, sweeping all four events and the all-around.
Arizona trailed UCLA and Iowa for three rotations, and the Cats were in third place with a score of 143.750 heading into the final rotation. Although Arizona experienced some falls on beam, the Cats roared back in the final rotation on floor with a team score of 48.925, which tied the 10th-highest floor score in Arizona history. Five UA gymnasts set or tied new career-high marks during the meet. UCLA gymnasts captured the top individual spots in all four events and the all- around, while two Arizona gymnasts tied for top honors on floor.
Individually for the Wildcats, sophomore Randi Liljenquist lifted the Cats on beam with a third- place score of 9.800a new career-highand she also tied senior Kiernan Andrews for first- place honors on floor, each with a score of 9.850. Andrews set a new career-high mark on floor, and she set a career-high 9.675 on beam.
In her official collegiate debut, freshman Nikki Beyschau tied for fifth on both vault (9.775) and bars (9.750) and was the highest UA finisher in the all-around with a score of 38.425. Beyschau also scored a career-high 9.250 on beam and a career-high 9.650 on floor. Senior Lisa Heckel set a career-high 9.725 on bars, and junior Heather Straccia set a career-high 9.700 in the same event.
"The meet was a very good starting point for us as a team," Arizona head coach Bill Ryden said. "We had some uncharacteristic falls on beam, and we still have some changes to make in each event. Some of the gymnasts who had never been tested really came through for us tonight. But, we really need to make some strides and improve on tonight's overall performance."
The Wildcats head to the Bay Area next week to battle the Stanford Cardinal in Palo Alto, Calif., on Friday, Jan. 21, at 7:30 p.m. (PST). Arizona returns to the McKale Center for a dual meet when the Cats square off against the San Jose State Spartans on Friday, Jan. 28, at 7:30 p.m.

The Expedition 14 mission included many highlights during its seven-month duration, including the setting of several records. Lopez-Alegria completed five spacewalks, which gave him a total of 10 for his career. This set a U.S. record for not only number of spacewalks, but also cumulative spacewalk time, 57 hours, 40 minutes. He also set a U.S. record for a single spaceflight's duration with more than 215 days. This tops the 196-day mark, set by station crew members Dan Bursch and Carl Walz in 2001 and 2002.
During the mission Flight Engineer Sunita Williams set the record for number of space walks and total time spent on spacewalks by a woman. She participated in four space walks for a total of 29 hours and 17 minutes. Williams will remain on the station for the first part of Expedition 14.
Three of the crew's spacewalks were conducted over the course of nine days, an unprecedented schedule for a station crew. Starting from scratch, it takes about 100 crew-member hours to prepare for a spacewalk. By doing them a few days apart, considerable crew time can be saved by not having to repeat some of those preparatory steps.
Before closing the Soyuz-station hatches at 1:03 a.m. Saturday, Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin said farewell to the Expedition 15 crew, Commander Fyodor Yurchikhin, flight engineers Oleg Kotov and Williams. The new crew and Simonyi launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome on April 7 and arrived at the station on April 9. Simonyi, a U.S. businessman, spent 12 days aboard the station under a contract with the Russian Federal Space Agency.
Lopez-Alegria and Tyurin will now spend several weeks in Star City, near Moscow, for debriefing and medical examinations. Their return to Earth was originally scheduled for Friday, April 20, but was delayed due to wet ground conditions, which could have precluded helicopter operations. The one-day change allowed for landing farther to the south.
