Frequently Asked Questions
What is MACRA?
MACRA is the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act, which is legislation that replaced the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR). It outlines a new program for physician reimbursement that replaces fee-for-service with value-based payments under the Quality Payment Program (QPP).
What is the Quality Payment Program?
The QPP is the portion of MACRA that defines the new value-based reimbursement system. It has two parts: the Merit-Based Incentive Program (MIPS) and Advanced Alternative Payment Models (APMs). The QPP replaces and consolidates the current Medicare Meaningful Use, PQRS, and value-based modifier programs.
Who Participates in the QPP?
The following provider types must participate in the QPP in either MIPS or Advanced APMs:
- Physician (Doctors of Medicine or Osteopathy, Doctors of Dental Surgery or Dental Medicine, Doctors of Podiatric Medicine, Doctors of Optometry, Chiropractors)
- Physician Assistant
- Nurse Practitioner
- Clinical Nurse Specialist
- Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist
Are there exclusions to the eligible provider?
Yes, the following providers are excluded from the QPP in 2017:
- Providers in their first year of Medicare in 2017.
- Providers who see fewer than 100 Medicare patients each year.
- Providers who bill $30,000 or less in annual Medicare claims.
- Providers who are participating in an Advanced APM.
What qualifies as an Advanced APM?
The following are the approved Advanced APMs for 2017.
- Comprehensive ESRD Care (CEC) – Large Dialysis Organization (LDO)
- Comprehensive ESRD Card – Non-LDO
- Comprehensive Primary Care Plus (CPC+)
- Next Generation ACO Model
- Shared Savings Program – Track 2
- Shared Savings Program – Track 3
- Oncology Care Model (two-sided risk arrangement)
If you receive 25% of Medicare payments or see 20% of your Medicare patients through an Advanced APM, then you may earn a 5% incentive payment in 2019. You do not participate in MIPS. You will report your data through your APM.
What Are the Requirements for MIPS?
Most providers will participate in MIPS not Advanced APMs in 2017. Under MIPS, providers' Medicare reimbursements will be adjusted up or down based on how they score across 3 categories:
- Quality (60%) - Replaces the old PQRS system, but is very similar in that it requires providers to report on quality measures.
- Advancing Care Information (25%) - Replaces Medicare Meaningful Use, but is very similar in that it requires providers to use a certified EHR to report measure objectives.
- Improvement Activities (15%) - Practices must attest that they have implemented documentation, workflow, or process improvements.
Do You Need a Certified EHR to participate in the QPP?
Yes, for both MIPS and the Advanced APMs, you need a certified EHR. For 2017 the EHR must be either 2014 or 2015 Edition certified. Starting in 2018, the EHR must be 2015 Edition certified.
How do I find out if my EHR is certified?
Your vendor can tell you if your EHR is 2014 Edition certified to meet the requirements for 2017. However, you should also verify they will be 2015 Edition certified in time for 2018. You can also visit www.healthit.gov and search their list of certified EHRs.
What is the Quality requirement for MIPS?
To meet the Quality requirement for MIPS for most participants, you must report up to six quality measures, including an outcome measure, for a minimum of 90 days. For those using the web interface, you must report 15 quality measures for a full year.
How many measures are there to choose from for Quality?
There are 271 measures to choose from. You can select from those that best fit your practice.
What are the Improvement Activity requirements for MIPS?
For most participants, the requirement for Improvement Activities for MIPS is to attest that you completed up to four improvement activities. For groups with fewer than 15 participants or if you are in a rural or health professional shortage area, the requirements is complete up to two activities for a minimum of 90 days. If you are in a certified patient centered medical home, you automatically get full credit.
How many improvement activities are there to choose from?
There are 93 improvement activities to choose from.
What is the Advancing Care Information requirement for MIPS?
To meet the requirement for Advancing Care Information you need to fulfill these required measures for a minimum of 90 days:
- Security Risk Analysis
- e-Prescribing
- Provide Patient Access
- Send Summary of Care
- Request/Accept Summary of Care
You may also choose to submit up to nine measures for a minimum of 90 days for additional credit. And for bonus credit, you can also:
- Report Public Health and Clinical Data Registry Reporting measures
- Use certified EHR technology to complete certain improvement activities in the improvement activities performance category
Please note that you may not need to submit advancing care information if these measures do not apply to you.
How many measures are there to choose from for Advancing Care Information?
If you are using a 2015 Edition certified EHR you have 15 measures. If you are using a 2014 Edition certified EHR you have 11 measures.
How do we sign up for MACRA?
The MACRA Quality Payment Program has two tracks: MIPS and Advanced APMs. You do not need to sign up for MIPS. You simply report your data during the reporting period. If you are in an Advanced APM you will report through that group. If you do not report at all, you will receive a -4% adjustment in 2019.
How will we report our data for MIPS?
For the 2017 year, MIPS data will be reported via the same methods as the Meaningful Use and PQRS programs. These are claims, registry, QRDC, web interface and/or CMS EHR Incentive Payment Attestation Site. During this first year, providers will most likely need to report via two methods. For example, quality measures can be reported via all methods, except the Attestation Site. Advancing Care may be reported via web interface and the Attestation Web Site, while the Improvement Activities will most likely be reportable via registry and Attestation Site.
Is Medicare Advantage included or does this just apply to Medicare?
This program only applies to Medicare Part B.
If I have been participating in MU, will I continue through 2017 along with MACRA?
No, Medicare Meaningful Use is ending at the end of 2016. If you are participating in the Medicaid MU incentive program, and qualify for MIPS as well, you will participate in both programs.
Are mental health providers eligible clinicians?
Non-physician mental health providers are not currently considered eligible clinicians under MACRA.
Are PTs, OTs, and SLPs eligible clinicians?
PT/OT/SLP providers are not currently considered eligible clinicians MACRA, but they may be added in 2019.
Will there be similar incentives and penalties from commercial payers?
Many commercial payers have already been switching to value-based care programs. Many believe they will follow suit and increase these programs and move more towards value-based programs over the next three to five years.
Do I participate in MACRA if I am doing Medicaid Meaningful Use?
If you also accept Medicare Part B and have more than 100 Medicare patients or bill more than $30,000 in Medicare Part B claims then you would also participate in MACRA.
Is Kareo Clinical 2014 Edition certified?
Yes, Kareo Clinical is 2014 Edition certified.
Currently, I have Kareo Billing and no EHR. What are the next steps to get a certified EHR to participate in MACRA?
You do need a certified EHR to participate in MACRA. There is a possible -4% adjustment on Medicare reimbursement in 2019 based on 2017 performance. So, don't wait to get a 2014 Edition certified EHR in place so you can participate in 2017. Even minimum participation for 90 days can help you avoid the penalty. You can sign up for Kareo Clinical demo or call 888-775-2736 to speak to a Kareo Solution Consultant now.
Can the required data for MIPS be captured using Kareo Clinical?
Yes Kareo Clinical will provide the fields necessary to capture data for both the Quality requirement and Advancing Care Information requirement under MIPS for 40 different measures by January 1, 2017. The measures focus on the following specialties: General Practice/Family Practice, Allergy, Internal Medicine, and Pediatrics. The system will have the reporting capabilities for these measures by the end of March, 2017. The late release of the final rule does not give vendors much time to make needed changes to software. Please be patient as we do our best to get you the features you need.
Will Kareo provide training on MIPS?
Kareo is currently reviewing the entire rule and determining what additional training may be needed. Appropriate resources and training will be developed and released to customers as it is available.
What Quality Measures are available in Kareo Clinical?
Kareo has selected measures common to a variety specialty sets. The Kareo EHR has created fields/processes for gathering the data for each of these measures. Additionally, Kareo is creating a Quality Measures Report that will show how a provider is doing on all 44 measures. The Report will be available by the end of the First Quarter of 2017.

Successful completion of any of these activities can qualify the provider for a bonus in the advancing care information performance category. Sixteen of the measures require successful implementation of the 2015 Edition CEHRT, which Kareo will achieve by January 1, 2018.
For the 2017 year, the following two activities can be implemented for bonus opportunity.
- Implementation of use of specialist reports back to referring clinician or group to close referral loop
- Use of decision support and standardized treatment protocols

Why we all need bacteria in our lives
Are you afraid of bacteria? If so, you are not alone.
The fear of bacteria has been burdening humans since the invention of the microscope. It seems that our society has fallen for the bacterial drama and the sensational media reporting that has turned bacteriae into life destroying monsters. It may surprise you but without the tireless work of bacteria, life would cease to exist.
Plants and animals (or humans) need bacteria to exist and in reality, there is only a very small proportion of pathogenic bacteria that cause disease. Unfortunately, the life giving good bacteriae have now been battered for decades by antibiotics and chemicals which gives more space to resistant pathogens - superbugs.
What does the good bacteria do for your dog?
- Digestive - there are many bacteriae in probiotics that aid digestion and balance the proper bacterial flora in the gut.
- Prevention of infections - the most commonly known probiotic strains are acidophilus, bifidobacterium and some species of streptococcus. These good bacteria create balance and prevent pathogens from growing out of control. They are the guards.
- Disease and cancer prevention - many people are not aware that most of the immune system capacity is located in the bowel. That is why the health of the colon directly affects immune system function and plays an important role in disease and cancer prevention
High carbohydrate and starchy diets have a tendency to disturb the bacterial balance and promote the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Sugar and starches also affect the pH of the digestive tract which can cause digestive disturbances, infections and metabolic problems.
Salmonella and E.coli – the media darlings
Sensational and exaggerated news stories are as common as salt water in the Pacific Ocean. Perhaps you remember some of the food or drinking water scandals related to Salmonella or E.coli. I do not want to discount the serious nature of some of these, however, these occurrences are relatively rare in comparison with the number of people dying from starvation or even the side-effects of drugs. Most people are not aware that more than 100,000 people in North America die every year from this cause.
Stronger disinfectants and chemicals may promote superbugs
The fear of bacteria and the lack of understanding how important they are is the main reason why so many people continue use of very strong and toxic disinfectants in their households or on their hands.
The use of strong disinfectants can be compared to clear cutting the Amazon rain forest. The balance is seriously disturbed and parasites and diseases move in. That is why I strongly suggest that you replace your conventional cleaning products with natural alternatives or simple baking soda, hot water and vinegar.
Move a cow in your living room
I am just joking, however based on a study comparing children living on farms and cities it is documented that children growing up on farms have three times lower rates of allergies. This is likely due to more robust immune system from constant low grade exposure to bacteria from the environment.
We all understand that in order to be strong, we need to exercise our muscles. The immune system is no different, it needs to be gently challenged in order to be strong.
The scarecrow of advertising
Scary cleaning product commercials create the impression that bacteriae are ready to attack us at any moment. The paradox is that the chemicals in cleaning products are likely to be more harmful to you and your dog and are the main reasons for spread of superbugs.
In my practice I have made one interesting observation. In more than seventeen years of recommending raw diet, I have not had a single client come back to me saying that they were diagnosed with Salmonella or E.Coli infection from feeding their dog raw food. In all these years, I had only one case of a questionable diagnosis of salmonelosis in a dog and it was not confirmed that the food was the source.
In summary, dogs are designed to eat raw meat and their immune systems are highly effective in containing pathogens that may be present in their food.
Now you know why we all should celebrate bacteria, use probiotics and be grateful for their tireless and hard work. Without our bacterial superheroes, our dogs would not be able to enjoy good health and life on Earth would cease to exist.
Viva Bacteria!!!

October Plant of the Month is Beautyberry: Callicarpa americana, (ka-lee-KAR-pa a-mair-ee-KAY-na)
When walking on the grounds these days it's easy to identify our native Beautyberry from the purple berry clusters weighing down the branches. These shrubs are located all over the Museum's property; locations include the bottom of Dogwood Trail and the East Terrace as well as the top of Art Trail. These shrubs produce small fragrant pink flowers in the spring, but their real beauty is currently on display and will continue into the winter. The plant grows roughly 5'x5', but can reach 9' tall in the right growing conditions, which are part shade with moist soils. Beautyberry is native here and pretty stinkin' tough! If you enjoy a more compact shape or simply want to re-energize an older shrub, the Beautyberry can be heavily pruned right before new growth, in the late winter to early spring.
The wildlife are just as drawn to the Beautyberry as we are–squirrels have been known to break off entire branches and go tearing through the woods to enjoy a feast. Opossums, armadillos, wood rats, grey foxes, deer, raccoons, and of course birds such as bobwhite quail, mockingbirds, robins, blue jays, towhees, and brown thrashers all enjoy these berries/leaves too. This is obviously a valuable plant for our wildlife and it definitely ain't deer resistant!
Throughout history, nearly every part of this plant has been used for medicinal purposes. Native Americans would make a tea from the roots to combat stomach aches, another tea from the berries to treat colic, even the root bark could substitute as a diuretic, and the list goes on… These days scientists are looking to plants for a variety of reasons. Recently a study published by the Journal of Natural Products in '07 suggests that Beautyberry has cancer-fighting potential, and research is being conducted by the USDA which has concluded that three naturally occurring chemicals found in the leaves of Beautyberry are as effective as DEET at repelling mosquitos, ticks, and ants. So put down that bottle of insect repellent and instead pick some leaves to combat these pesky bugs. (Did you know that DEET, also known by the chemical name N,N-Diethyl-3-methylbenzamide, is potentially neurotoxic to humans as well? That's how it works! DEET disrupts the central nervous system of insects, and since the skin is like a million mouths, doesn't it make sense that whatever you put on your skin is going straight into your bloodstream?!) Some other natural insect repellents include the oils from allspice, basil, cedar, garlic, citronella, cinnamon, geranium, lavender, neem, peppermint, pine, rosemary, thyme, and verbena. So lay off the bug spray! Learn more @ http://www.naturalnews.com/026982_DEET_insect_repellent_brain.html#ixzz2g2A3fcQC Sincerely, Sam

A Quebec Superior Court judge has ruled that the auditors for a real-estate-investment company at the centre of a $1.6-billion financial collapse were negligent, ending a 12-year legal battle by investors in Montreal-based Castor Holdings Ltd.
"The whole team at our firm feels incredibly exhilarated," said Mark Meland of Fishman Flanz Meland Paquin LLP, one of the lead lawyers acting for the investors in Castor, which collapsed in 1992.
"It's a big, big win."
Despite the epic length of the case, which is believed to be the longest trial in Canadian history, Friday's ruling is not likely to be the last word. Prior to the result, both sides said an appeal was expected, no matter who won.
The Castor litigation, which is also believed to be the largest auditors' negligence case in Canada, could end up having broader implications for the auditing profession across the country.
Many shareholder lawsuits against auditors don't get very far because of previous court decisions that auditors can't be held professionally responsible for misrepresentations by clients, said Toronto-based forensic accountant Al Rosen.
Friday's decision may help bolster the case for auditors' responsibilities in situations where fraud or other financial irregularities occur, he said.
"I hope it wakes up the rest of Canada, but I'm not expecting any immediate change," he said. "Perhaps it will encourage lawmakers to pass tougher legislation."
Castor was the creation of German-Canadian businessman Wolfgang Stolzenberg, who is on the RCMP's wanted list for alleged fraud and believed to be living in Germany.
Following the collapse, a group of investors – including major European banks, Chrysler Canada Inc.'s pension fund and two Canadian credit unions – filed lawsuits totalling about $1-billion against Coopers & Lybrand, Castor's auditor, allegedly it failed to properly audit the company.
Their case has dragged on for more than 16 years, 12 of them in court, and included the filing of more than 18,000 exhibits.
In a hefty 752-page decision released Friday, Madam Justice Marie St-Pierre of the Quebec Superior Court ruled that Coopers & Lybrand failed to perform its professional services as auditors, in accordance with generally accepted auditing and accounting standards.
She said Coopers & Lybrand also issued "faulty opinions" concerning Castor's financial situation.
"This outcome is disappointing for our clients," said Yvan Bolduc of Heenan Blaikie LLP, a member of the legal team acting for the defendants. He did not rule out an appeal.
"We're studying [the decision] and when we are done, we will make the appropriate recommendation to our clients."
Judge St-Pierre's judgment relates directly to one investor's case, that of Peter Widdrington – the former chief executive officer of John Labatt Ltd. and chairman of the Toronto Blue Jays baseball club – who died in 2005, when the trial was in its seventh year. The Widdrington ruling sets out the common issues and is binding on other pending actions brought against Coopers & Lybrand by other investors in the Castor fiasco.
The judge ruled that Mr. Widdrington suffered damages as a direct result of negligence on the part of Coopers & Lybrand and ordered that his estate be compensated $2.7-million plus court costs and interest.
The judgment concluded that Castor's audited financial statements for 1988, 1989 and 1990 were materially misstated and misleading, and that Coopers & Lybrand periodically issued other faulty opinions on its financial position from 1988 to 1991.
The findings of professional negligence are applicable to and binding in respect of the other pending actions against Coopers & Lybrand, which add up to more than $1-billion, according to Mr. Meland.
Mr. Meland, who was present on the first day of the trial back in September of 1998, said it's gratifying that such a long and arduous legal journey has ended with a win that essentially upholds all of the principal positions put forward by the plaintiff.
Among the reasons the trial – which comprised two proceedings – took so long were the difficulties of gathering evidence from dozens of Castor offices in Canada and abroad, plus an interruption when the presiding judge underwent heart surgery and subsequently had to be replaced.Report Typo/Error

To the Editor:
Regarding your article ''Checkout Time?'' (Nov. 22), concerning the conversion of single-room-occupancy hotels, I was quite surprised at your depiction of Property Markets Group as a latter-day big-business Simon Legree, when in fact quite the opposite is true.
Our firm, Bohn Associates Inc, is the interior design architect on the Broadway American Hotel project for Property Markets Group. Having personal experience on this project, I was dismayed at the omission of several key facts. Property Markets offered each and every tenant at the Broadway American Hotel a brand-new room with new bathroom facilities and kitchens. Three floors of the hotel have been specifically set aside to accommodate those residents that did not care to move out of the hotel. These floors were renovated first so that tenants could be relocated and avoid the discomfort of living in a construction site.
Additionally each tenant was offered a lease, far below market value, in one of these new rooms, with all the amenities that are expected in an S.R.O. The photo of the tenant staring at exposed wire seemed to indicate that these were the conditions that residents were expected to live in. Again, quite the opposite is true. That photo was taken on a floor currently being renovated to house new hotel short-term guests.
I also have a difficult time understanding the position of ''tenant advocates'' who wish for these hotels not to be tampered with. Most of the former existing conditions at the Broadway American, under the former owners, and most other S.R.O. hotels, would be considered substandard. Property Markets has made a concerted effort to improve the living conditions in all of their buildings. Why would advocate groups wish for tenants to stay in such terrible conditions when their quality of life is being improved by property renovation?
It is counterproductive to both the market and housing issues for the government to pass laws, touted by ''advocates'' as tenant protection, that make it impossible for owners to renovate their properties, while freezing these buildings in substandard conditions. To stop development when these tenant needs have been addressed, simply because the tenant does not want to relocate to another floor, seems foolhardy at best and cruel at worst.

Lions win first game under Marinelli, beat former coachOct 15, 2006 - 8:48 PM DETROIT (Ticker) -- The frustration is over for coach Rod Marinelli.
Jon Kitna threw for a touchdown and Kevin Jones ran for a score as the Detroit Lions jumped out to an early lead and held off the Buffalo Bills, 20-17, to give Marinelli his first career win.
Marinelli's elusive first triumph looked like it may never come.
"Five of these six games have gone down to the wire and now this one is such a big one for us," Marinelli said. "Come down at the end and find a way to win a game."
Marinelli nearly earned his first win last week, but watched the Lions (1-5) squander a 14-point fourth-quarter lead in a 26-17 loss at Minnesota.
"He knew this was coming, and I'm sure he wishes it was five weeks ago, but the first one is always special," Kitna said of his coach.
Ironically, Marinelli's first win came at the expense of Dick Jauron, who was 1-4 as Lions interim coach last season before being hired by Buffalo.
"No doubt it was a disappointing loss," Jauron said. "We're just not consistent enough anywhere on offense or defense."
Kitna completed 24-of-36 passes for 278 yards with an interception . He threw a 28-yard scoring strike to Roy Williams late in the second quarter, giving the Lions a 17-7 lead.
Williams caught 10 passes for a career-best 161 yards despite a sore neck.
"Roy misses two days of practice, shows up today and can barely move his neck, then goes out there and has a great game," Kitna said. "That's what superstars do."
Jones rushed for 127 yards on 23 carries, including a seven-yard touchdown late in the first quarter.
"We got the monkey off our back with the yards and the win," Jones said. "We mainly needed the win, so that's what I'm happy about the win."
J.P. Losman completed 21-of-34 passes for 207 yards and two scores with an interception for Buffalo (2-4). He was sacked five times.
"We knew Willis (McGahee) was the key, because if you can take away the run, you can just get after the quarterback," said Lions defensive end James Hall, who had a career-best 3 1/2 sacks.
McGahee had 66 yards rushing on 17 carries.
Losman hooked up with Roscoe Parrish on a 44-yard TD pass early in the second quarter. The third-year quarterback later hit tight end Ryan Neufeld with a four-yard scoring pass midway through the final period to pull Buffalo within 20-17.
"You have to give them credit for what they did," Losman said of the previously winless Lions. "Nothing is easy. We had a chance there to pull it out in the end, but we didn't come through."
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!
Be the first!

Beldeine Nyram was an Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah.
She looks like a girl of 20 [1]. Like most Saldaeans, her brown eyes are slightly tilted and her nose has just a hint of a hook to it. Her cheekbones are high, but not very. Her hair hangs to her shoulders in ringlets. She stands a hand or more taller than Verin [2].
Strength and AbilitiesEdit
Beldeine was a quite strong sister by Aes Sedai standards. We can read about it in the nine book when she is confronted to other Aes Sedai in Rand's entourage [3].
This is confirmed in "The Wheel of Time Companion" where her level of strength is described as 16(4).
She displayed good management and administrative abilities early on, causing the Green Ajah to mark her as someone who might do well in their hierarchy. She was not very pleased with that, as she wanted to be out and about having adventures.
She was from Saldaea. She was born in 966 NE and went to the Tower in 982 NE. After spending seven years as a novice and eight as Accepted, she was raised in 997 NE. She is too young to have the ageless Aes Sedai face [2]. She sided with Elaida during the White Tower split.
Egwene's testing Edit
She appeared first time as Egwene al'Vere's Keeper of the Chronicles when Egwene went through the ter'angreal to become Accepted. In her third trip through the three arches, Egwene sees herself as Amyrlin and Beldeine as her Keeper even though she does not know Beldeine [4].
Swearing fealty to the Dragon Edit
Since she did not yet have the ageless look, she was included in the Aes Sedai party sent to kidnap Rand al'Thor, along with other five, including Janine Pavlara and Marith Riven.
Coiren reports to the rest of Elaida's embassy that Beldeine has arrived in Cairhien [5].
She was taken prisoner at the Battle of Dumai's Wells[6]. Verin has Beldeine brought to her for questioning. She uses a mild Compulsion on Beldeine and gives her instructions to follow [7]. Sorilea brings Elza Penfell, Nesune Bihara, Sarene Nemdahl, Erian Boroleos and Beldeine to Rand after they beg to be allowed to swear fealty to him. Rand accepts [8].
Erian and Beldeine play stones while Cadsuane and Harine din Togara speak in the sunroom of the Sun Palace [9].
She Traveled with Cadsuane Melaidhrin's group to Far Madding to track down Rand when he fled Cairhien [3].
She participated in the Battle near Shadar Logoth where she linked with Nesune Bihara, Daigian Moseneillin, and Eben Hopwil. She was attacked by Aran'gar during the battle and Hopwil was killed [10].
She accompanied Rand and Cadsuane to Algarin Pendaloan's house in Tear, where Rand recovered after cleansing saidin. She was starting to talk about bonding an Asha'man as a Warder. Merise counsels her to talk with Daigian about the consequences [3].
Bonding an Asha'man Edit
Beldeine bonded Karldin Manfor, an Asha'man as her first Warder, fulfilling a vision that Min Farshaw had about her [11].
She watched Rand's meeting with the Daughter of the Nine Moons from a distance and Traveled in as backup when it was revealed that the Daughter of the Nine Moons was actually Semirhage [11].
She went to Rand's room after finding out about Semirhage's escape and then death [12]. After this episode Erian, Nesune, Sarene, and Beldeine are less welcome in Rand's presence [13].
While in Tear, she was sitting in Cadsuane's chamber when Min proposed her idea that Rand would need to wield Callandor at Tarmon Gai'don. Beldeine disdained Min's attempts at scholarship, but Cadsuane agreed with Min. Cadsuane told Beldeine to give Min credit where credit was due, but Beldeine just left the room with Karldin [13].
Beldeine died in the Last Battle at the Field of Merrilor, moments after her Karldin was killed by the Sharans [14]
Viewings Edit
- One of Min's viewings showed an aura of blue, yellow, and green around Beldeine. It meant she would serve Rand in her own fashion[8]. (fulfilled - Beldeine served Rand and the Light to her last breath)
- She would bond an Asha'man as a Warder[8]. (fulfilled)
- A black knife hovered over her head[13]. (fulfilled - possibly indicated her death at the hands of Sharans)

Dear Spiceheads,
In the Spiceworks 5 beta period, I raised a concern that there was no way to merge or delete users. This is a really serious deficiency in Spiceworks that is leading to databases filling up with crud that can't be cleaned up. They are going to have to tackle this issue head on at some point, but I'm getting all the wrong noises from the devs. The feedback I'm getting is that (paraphrasing) 'its a difficult problem and we probably won't do it in Spiceworks 6'. Well, that's not really good enough, in my opinion.
If, like me, you wish you could give your database the TLC it deserves, then please seek out and 'spice up' one of the threads requesting this feature. Here are the ones I've found:
- http://community.spiceworks.com/feature_request/show/People%20View/2668
- http://community.spiceworks.com/feature_request/show/People%20View/2401?page=1
- http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/215227-merge-users
There's been quite a few upvotes in those threads since the 6.0 beta started, please help me keep the momentum going abd send a clear message to the Spiceworks developers by visiting at least one (preferably all) of the above and clicking the 'vote up' button. For extra impact, you could also email email@example.com
Thanks for helping...

TEAM HUMMER® SWEEPS THE BITD/MCMILLIN `NEVADA 1000' Tonopah, NV - July 10, 2005: The Team HUMMER crew gathered at the Suncoast hotel, in Las Vegas on Wednesday and was greeted by afternoon temperatures of 105 during tech inspection on the...
Tonopah, NV - July 10, 2005: The Team HUMMER crew gathered at the Suncoast hotel, in Las Vegas on Wednesday and was greeted by afternoon temperatures of 105 during tech inspection on the blazing asphalt in the hotel's massive parking area. The trucks were in decent shape, although some last minute cracks had been discovered in the H1's frame rails and there wasn't enough time to replace the damaged units. Brad & Brent Falin spent the last few days prior to the event welding and repairing the chassis as best they could and were optimistic that the H1 could survive the pounding of the BitD/McMillin `Nevada 1000', particularly since the race was spread over a span of four days in a Rally style format. At the end of each stage the teams would be allotted one hour to prepare the race vehicles for the next day's racing before they were each impounded for the night. After having the trucks inspected, they were trailered up to the starting line in Beatty, NV, about 100 miles to the North. From Beatty, the first stage of the `Nevada 1000' would cover a 220 mile course taking them to the central Nevada mining town of Tonopah, which was to serve as the start/finish area for the next three stages.
The first stage on Thursday morning started just after 9:00AM with the H1 first to take the green flag for Team HUMMER. We had no problems with either truck as we passed Checker Pit #1 at Pioneer Road, just over 50 miles into the race. It was a warm day, in the mid-90's and easily tolerable for racing but shortly after clearing the first pit, Sam Cothrun became ill with what we took to be motion sickness. It was not a pretty sight and Josh called ahead to the fuel stop at Cottontail Ranch (MM 124) to have Thad stand by to take over as co-rider. After a fuel and driver change was taken care of at Cottontail (Pit #4), the H2 left the pit with a lock on first place and finished that way in Tonopah. The #4103 Team HUMMER H2 SUV seemed to be the only truck in the 4100 class that had a clean race as Josh finished 34th overall and first in class with a seemingly insurmountable lead of 6 hours, 25 minutes over the second place #4101 Ford Expedition driven by Mark Stein, who had blown an engine early in the day. The Team HUMMER #8102 H1 pickup was also running up front with a nine minute lead over Dave Morrison's #8107 Ford F-250 but broke a rear half- shaft as he was coming into the finish line. Although the timing was perfect for the broken half-shaft, the problem confirmed that we still had not overcome the ongoing half-shaft failures that have plagued the H1 since the Terrible's Town 250 in April.
The rubber accordian boot, which retains the grease on the CV Joint, seems to be splitting from the inside for no apparent reason. Once the break occurs, the grease is thrown out and the CV joint fails shortly thereafter. Fortunately, we anticipated trouble with the half-shafts and brought quite a few replacement units with us. We used one of our spares and after prepping both vehicles, checked the trucks into impound for the night with time to spare.
At the conclusion of each day's racing, each team is allowed sixty minutes in a designated work area to prepare their vehicles for the next stage. Crews are vital during any race but nowhere can you really appreciate how good our crew is than in this sort of e v e n t where everyone comes together in a common cause. At the finish line, the cars are directed to a holding area where no work can be performed on the vehicles. When the crews are set up and ready for the trucks, they are released to the work area and the clock starts. Any time spent over the alotted sixty minutes is added to that day's total time on the course. We brought 25 crew members to this race and chose to concentrate all of our resources on each truck, so while one truck remained in the holding area, we focused our full attention on the other truck so we could get it fully prepped and into impound within the time limit.
Friday, stage #2 left out of Tonopah and would form a 331 mile loop, Northwest of town as it traveled through the ancient mining towns of Luning, Mina and Gabbs, before returning to the finish in Tonopah. The Team HUMMER trucks were scheduled to start 34th (H2) and 35th (H1) off the line and they ran within minutes of each other most of the day until late in the race when the #8102 H1 Pickup broke an upper shock mount about five miles from the finish. Chad nursed the truck into the finishing line and still managed to add another 22 minutes to his lead over the #8107 Ford of Dave Morisson. We brought the H2 into the work area and prepped it for Saturday while we gathered the equipment that would be needed to repair the H1. We only carry battery operated MIG welders, which are not powerful enough to provide a lasting weld on the heavy shock mount, so the Checkers brought their big stick welder over. We were ready when the H1 came rolling in and every crew member had been assigned a job. In 54 minutes the shock tower was back in place, new half-shafts were installed and the truck was serviced and ready for another day of racing. The crew applauded their collective effort as the H1 left the work area for impound.
It's difficult to imagine a team that works together better than the Team HUMMER crew. These guys are the best!
In spite of the last minute failure of the rear shock mount, Both Team HUMMER trucks posted very good times on Friday and came into the third stage in 16th (H2) and 18th (H1) overall positions. Josh was having a flawless race and had built up such a commanding lead in Class 4100 that he had redefined his goal to finish ahead of all the production classes. Chad had a 31 minute lead over Morisson in the #8107 Ford and a 53 minute lead over Foutz in the #8101 Ford V-10 and his mood could best be described as `cautiously optimistic' as he prepared for day three! - next
Saturday, stage #3 left from Tonopah and would form a 323 mile loop, Southwest of town as it traveled through the ancient mining towns of Silver Peak, Coaldale and Goldfield, before returning to the finish in Tonopah. Around mile 40, Josh pulled off the course in a low visability area to allow a Class 7 truck to get by and was rewarded by picking up two flats in a rockbed, a right rear and a left front. After spending a few minutes changing the rear, he cautiously proceeded to Checker Pit #2, located in a dry lakebed east of Silver Peak. As the #4103 H2 pulled into the pit to replace the front tire and the flattened spare, the #8102 H1 pitted for yet another half-shaft failure.
The H2 was out first but the H1 required a bit more time to swap out the half-shaft and got back on course a few minutes back. At the Coaldale pit (#4) at about racemile 138, both trucks stopped for fuel. A damaged boot was discovered on the H2's front half-shaft and the axle was changed. Both trucks stopped to refuel in Silver Peak (Pit #6), at race mile 238, which was a "gas and go" for the #4103 Team HUMMER H2 but it appeared that the H1again needed both rear half-shafts replaced which cost us another 20 minutes of downtime. Meanwhile Morisson in #8107 Ford and Foutz in the #8101where both making up some of the time they had lost during the first two stages and by the end of the day, Chad brought the H1 in to the finish still in the lead but his margin had been cut to 19 minutes over Foutz in the #8101 truck and 21 minutes over Morisson in #8107.
In the work area on Saturday night, Brad cut a bit off the rear springs hoping that lowering the ride height may help the rear half-shafts on the #8102 H1 Pickup to live longer. He also wrapped electrical tape around the CV boots for added strength and installed our last two spares on the rear of the truck. Due in part to the unfortunate engine failure that Marc Stien had on day one in the #4101 Ford Expedition, the H2 had a huge lead in class 4100 and was also running well in front of all the other production class trucks. Being the competitor that Marc Stien is, he was still out there running hard each day and had a flawless stage three performance finishing four minutes in front of Josh on the day.
Brent Falin was scheduled to be in the second seat of the H1 on the final day, giving Cort Stoskoph an unusual day off. Brent will be leaving his job at Amazon.com soon to take over as Manager of the parts department at Winkel/Rod Hall HUMMER in Reno and has been a key member of Team HUMMER since 2001.
The final Stage of the BitD/McMillin `Nevada 1000'was a 119 mile sprint south to Goldfield and back. Certainly anyone that had anything left could be counted on to use it in this round. Chad in the #8102 H1 Pickup needed to protect his lead against a very determined Greg Foutz in the #8101 Ford F-250 and could only hope that the changes we made to the ride height would permit our only remaining half-shafts to go the distance.
Josh was first off the line in the #4103 H2 SUV and Chad followed a minute later in the 8102 H1 Pickup, just after 7:00 AM on Sunday morning. The first part of the course was slow going as it wound it's way through through an unpleasant variety of silt, rocks and sagebrush. These conditions prevailed throughout much of the of the race but the second half of the course seemed to allow for more high speed running. This was good news for Chad, who lost eight minutes to Foutz by Pit # 2 (Goldfield West) but turned up the wick on the return portion and was actually running 68MPH to Foutz' 66MPH at Pit #4 (Klondike) about 24 miles from the finish. At the end of the day, Chad took the checkered flag for the win seven (7) minutes in front of #8101 (Foutz) and 25 minutes up on Morisson in the #8107 Ford.
Josh had also given up some ground early on to Stein in the #4101 Ford Expedition and was running in his dust all morning. Finallly, the H2 began reeling him in and it seemed for a time that he might be able to win the day, but the truck succumed to a broken idler arm about five miles from the finish. Although this did not keep the H2 from winning the race, it slowed the truck down enough that Josh's goal of finishing this stage in front of Stein was not to be realized. The #4103 Team HUMMER H2 SUV took the win in the BitD/ McMillin `Nevada 1000', the seventh consecutive victory for Josh Hall/Thad Stump/ Sam Cothrun in the H2.
The # 4103 H2 finished 15th overall and team at DPG who built the Team was the fastest production vehicle in the event followed closely by the #8102 Team HUMMER H1 Pickup which finished 16th overall. On the season Josh Hall is leading the class 4100 points chase by 16 points and Chad Hall is second in class 8100 points by one point over Dave Morisson and is 18 points behind Greg Foutz.

Full Range of Weissach-produced Porsche Race Cars at Sebring 2010 Six Porsche Factory Drivers, Porsche 911 GT3 RSRs, Porsche 911 GT3 Cups, and a Porsche RS Spyder to Challenge America's Toughest Endurance Road Course ATLANTA - March 15 - ...
Full Range of Weissach-produced Porsche Race Cars at Sebring 2010
Six Porsche Factory Drivers, Porsche 911 GT3 RSRs, Porsche 911 GT3 Cups, and a Porsche RS Spyder to Challenge America's Toughest Endurance Road Course
ATLANTA - March 15 - Porsche's entries in the 58th Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring (Saturday, March 20, live on SPEED TV) span the entire line of Weissach-prepared 911 race cars, plus one of the most successful Porsche prototypes of all time.
This Year's Sebring Crop - 45 Porsche Race Cars
Forty-five Porsche race cars will contest three of the classes running the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, as well as the matched Porsche 911 GT3 Cup racers competing in the Patron GT3 Challenge by Yokohama.
The 58th edition of the Sebring 12-hour event will take the green flag on Saturday, March 20, at 10:30 AM EDT, with live television coverage on SPEED TV starting at 10:00 AM. The first 90 minutes of the race action will be telecast (until noon EDT), and then the final eight-and-a- half hours starting at 2:00 PM until the checkered flag at 10:30 PM will be live on SPEED. The network will stay on the air until 11:00 PM with complete post-race coverage and interviews.
"This is the toughest race on the calendar, but we've done a lot of testing and are well prepared. But still, Sebring is always good for a surprise," says Porsche factory driver Joerg Bergmeister (Germany), who, along with fellow factory driver Patrick Long (USA), is the defending GT2 class champion. Long and Bergmeister will share their Flying Lizard Motorsport Porsche 911 GT3 RSR with factory driver colleague Marc Lieb (Germany) for this long event. Competing in the #45 Lizard Porsche entry, the trio lead the campaign of the Porsche customer teams in the GT2 class against strong opposition from BMW, Ferrari, Jaguar and Corvette.
Porsche factory drivers Wolf Henzler (Germany) and Patrick Pilet (France) are joined by Bryan Sellers (USA) to race for the Falken Tire squad their brand new Porsche 911 GT3 RSR, while Flying Lizard Motorsports has entered a second Porsche 911 GT3 RSR iS manned by Darren Law (USA) and Seth Neiman (USA), with Porsche factory pilot Richard Lietz (Austria) supporting them.
"Sebring is the first race with my new team and that alone makes it special," says Wolf Henzler, who won the Sebring classic on his way to the GT2 championship with Joerg Bergmeister in 2008.
The team used the traditional winter tests on the Sebring International Raceway predominantly to conduct tire testing. For Wolf Henzler, the progress they made was as positive as the first impression of his new squad.
"The tests went well. The team is very organized and motivated. Of course, we need time to grow closer but we've had an excellent start," said Henzler, who is also a four-time Porsche Supercup champion.
As the most successful GT racing sports car of the 2009 season, the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR has notched victories and title wins in the American Le Mans Series, the Le Mans Series in Europe and the FIA GT Championship. In the USA, the vehicle also secured the 'Michelin Green X Challenge' environmental title for the vehicle that demonstrates the best overall performance and fuel efficiency. This is an achievement of which Hartmut Kristen, Head of Porsche Motorsport, is particularly proud.
"It's giving the right signal to place more importance on the efficiency of a racing car," said Mr. Kristen.
In the LMP2 prototype class, Team Cytosport has entered the Muscle Milk Porsche RS Spyder with Klaus Graf (Germany), Sascha Maassen (Germany) and Greg Pickett (USA) at the helm. The car, which scored podium finishes in all four races it entered in 2009, plans to run the entire American Le Mans Series in 2010. The Porsche RS Spyder, which won the America Le Mans Series LMP2 championship 2006 - 2008, also claimed an overall victory at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2008.
For the first full year of the ALMS GT Challenge Class, the endurance class for matched Porsche 911 GT3 Cup race cars, a large selection of well-know drivers and teams have filled out THE grid, including cars from Porsche championships team owners Alex Job, James Sofronas, and Kevin Buckler, along with returning entries from Velox Motorsports and WERKS II racing. Professional drivers include Andy Pilgrim, James Sofronas, Andy Lally, Luis Diaz, Butch Leitzinger, Leh Keen, Shane Lewis and Lawson Aschenbach.
Patron GT3 Challenge by Yokohama
Entering its sixth season, the Patron GT3 Challenge by Yokohama is one of IMSA's leading developmental series. The 2010 championship features a seven event schedule - with six American Le Mans Series weekends - on North America's finest natural terrain road courses. For this year's Sebring race week, there will be 37 cars entered in two 45-minute races.
The Patron GT3 Challenge by Yokohama features semi-professional drivers racing head-to- head in Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars - one of the world's most successful race cars - with sealed ENGINES and transmissions. The latest 2010 purpose-built race cars have sealed 450 h.p. engines and six-speed sequential transmissions, providing for close racing where the driver's talents are featured. The first five years of the series have produced fending- banging action and razor-thin margins of victory.
This year's series will be split into two classifications - Platinum Cup for the new 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and Gold Cup for the 2009 through 2005 version of the GT3 racer. The Patron Spirits Company returns as the title sponsor for the championship with Yokohama as the presenting partner and exclusive tire supplier. All races will be featured elements of the series' full-season television package on SPEED. Each telecast will feature race highlights, lifestyle segments and other features pertaining to one of North America's leading single- make championships.
Stronger, wider, faster than its predecessors, the new version of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup offers its many customers the world over even greater value than ever before. The successor to the best-selling racing car of all time built in a production series of more than 1,400 units is based for the first time on the 911 GT3 RS, with the weight of the racing model reduced significantly versus the lightweight road-going version. Engine capacity is up by 0.2 liters over the former model, engine output is 30 bhp more than before.

The New and Improved Folio
Mike Macadaan's Los Angeles company This Is Ground is known for making simple leather tech accessories that are as beautiful as they are handy. Last year, he designed an organizer called the Cord Taco that became one of Apple's best sellers. Then, he created a leather iPad case with a hidden charger that juices your tablet throughout the day. His newest product promises to boost the company into a new league of cool: Called the Mod, it's a re imagination of the trapper keeper, also known as the folio, that was hugely popular in the 1990s.
Macadaan said the product was born from a need for better looking, higher quality tech accessories. "Why on earth would you frame your expensive, beautiful gadgets in cheap, silicon cases?" he said. "That always seemed weird to me."
The Mod solves that problem, and others. Designed for what he calls "the modern adventurer," it's made from vegetable tanned leather that he sourced from a hyde curator in Napa, and is shaped like a small briefcase with zippers. Inside, it has pockets to organize all of your day to day clutter: tablets, subway cards, notebooks, cash, loose documents, and so on. There's even a slip for Pencil, a tech friendly stylis by FiftyThree, and a built in battery that can charge your iPad and iPhone simultaneously while you're on the go.
And it's totally customizable. Instead of a three ring binder, the Mod has magnets that grip onto different leather inserts.
"I remember being obsessed with filofaxes and trapper keepers back in the day, especially the fact that you could customize them," Macadaan said. "This is a continuation of that story."
Although the current version of the Mod only holds one two sided insert and the iPad mini, Macadaan is already gearing up to produce Mods that fit multiple inserts and older generation iPads. Because everything is manufactured near his home in Los Angeles, Macadaan gets to oversee product development firsthand.
"I live across the street from the Staples Center, which also happens to be near a string of old factories," he says. "I have access to everything, so I can stick my nose into every step of the process. That's michael kors bags for cheap the way I like it."About more:
