Let me give all of you a complete idea of what happened.
I had purchased 2 Joomla components from a developer for my websites. The license was per site license and the developer was supposed to give regular product updates for the component at no extra cost. In those 6 months there was I think one minor bug fix update which was done by the developer but no major enhancements. Many were giving feedback on what was needed in the component including possibility of migrating to Joomla 1.6 once it comes through.
The developer shocked all by bringing out a brand new version of both the products - but with a rider. No existing client could get updates to the new version. If they needed the new version then then needed to purchase a subscription pack. The per site licensing was gone. All existing users had only one option. Keep the existing version and use it or buy the brand new version and dispose off the old version.
Hence I contacted the developer and requested that some kind of upgrade option should be provided to all existing users who had faith in the product in the initial stages and supported the product. Leaving them with no upgrade options was not a fair option. The developer responded that this would not be done. So again I contacted and asked if then in such a case option to transfer or sell the license to any user who is interested in the old version should be provided.
The developer then blocked all my accounts on the site and also warned me that I would be reported for illegal use of software which is really not true because I have invoices and payment receipts of both purchases made.
The developer does not respond to any of my emails and I have been left with two unusable components with no upgrade options.
What are my options in such a scenario? Is there anything I could do so that I can get back my money? or atleast get back my access to my accounts on the developers site?
Thank you in advance for all your help
Realistically? If the developer is in the same country as you, you can go after him in your local small claims court. If he's international, you're basically out of luck. It will cost you more to go after him than it's worth.
If you were promised ongoing updates and these were not received, then it is the developer who is breaking the license agreement. Were these promises made in writing? Do you have evidence that they were promised (emails, forum posts, the actual licence agreement)?
Is the developer in the same country as you? How much money are we talking about?
It sounds like at the very least, you should get a refund, but it seems a good faith gesture would be to upgrade you to his new version.
Not entirely sure what this clown is trying to achieve though. Is anyone in their right mind going to pay him any money for this new version? How long before he abandons that as well? His customer service record doesn't really paint a pretty picture, does it?
Perhaps he should be made aware of the Streisand Effect. I would perhaps consider posting up your experiences on as many forums and consumer web sites as possible. Just remember to be completely truthful in your account of the whole situation.
Thank you for all the messages.
Yes, like suggested, the developer is in another country and the amount is appx. USD350
I already approached the concerned country's trade body and they say I could file charges in court but that would cost me much more than what I had paid for the product, which the developer knows quite well and inspite of me sending message that I have contacted the trade body for future course of action, the developer remains silent on the entire issue and is not at all responding.
I read the license terms in great detail, though the developer is not fully bound to release new updates, it really hurts that in the name of license change, new updates are being provided to members who purchase new membership plans. What existing users expect is atleast provide them with an update if not free then at least at a discounted price to what is offered to new users.
Raise a giant stink about it, find others in the same boat and write posts about how underhanded the developer is.
Make sure to fill up the SERPs with pages complaining about how this all came about, make it more difficult for the developer to do business in any way possible, make sure when someone googles the product name they see pages and pages of complaints, target the "product name" + "review" keywords.
If you're not going to get satisfaction you might as well get revenge.
So what is the product anyway so that the rest of us know to steer clear of this douchebag
Thank you for your feedback.
Mainly my first priority would be to either have some upgrade option or part money back in case no future updates are planned on this old version that I own.
At this point would not like to make the developer name public but would definitely PM the name if some one wants to take up my case with the developer. I could even provide all email correspondences / payment receipts everything so that it would help me get back my accounts and/or some kind of upgrades to the new product - as no doubt the new product does look promising and would save me the headaches to migrate to some other component as the data entered using this component is in thousands.
Any feedback in this regard? Still waiting for a solution from some one.
Thanks in advance
waiting for a solution? I think all your options have already been posted.
You can pursue them through the legal system of his/her home country, but it won't be worth it for the relatively small sum you have paid and that's provided he/she has "technically" done anything illegal which you haven't established in anything that you have posted so far.
My advice would be to get your own proper qualified legal advice and be guided by that. I definitely am not qualified to give any legal advice and I think legal options are your only option at this stage.
Hi jaagare, I got your PM about this and had a look at the developer's site.
There doesn't appear to be anything specifically mentioning ongoing updates, however they seem to have had a major change recently, new domain etc, although I did check archive.org and found their old license terms, which again made no mention of updates, so it sounds like legally they may be covered with respect to not offering any more updates to you.Not sure if they promised anything via email or in their forum etc.
I do take issue with some stuff though. In their current license, they reserve the right to change the license agreement at any time, and without notice to you,by posting the new license on their site. Your continued use of the software indicates your acceptance of the new license.
Does this mean they change the agreement without telling you, but still expect you to be bound by the terms of this new license? Are you expected to check their web site every day, just in case they secretly updated the license terms? That doesn't sound right to me, however I don't know much about Aussie law, but I would suspect any changes should be notified by email with at least 7 days notice - I suspect you should also be given the opportunity to not accept it (i.e. if you just wish to continue using the existing version under the license you agreed to at purchase). Typically a new license agreement will be linked into a new version of the software, so the act of downloading the new version (and ticking a checkbox etc) will confirm your acceptance of the new license.
I also take issue with them suspending your account (and threatening to report you to your host), based on your stated intention to sell the license. Yes, suspend your account if you did sell the license (it appears to be non-transferable), but you haven't yet, so they should honor the license. They are the ones now breaking the license agreement, not you.
Basically, they don't paint a picture of a company many people would like to do business with, but I do think it may be better to move on and chalk it up to just one of those things - I still think you could post your experience on consumer review sites etc, as long as you are careful to stick to the facts (and the ones you can prove should you need to). People do read this stuff and do take notice of it.
Thank you very much for your advice.
Yes, for my auto site I have already bought another component from another developer and will not use any future products from this developer.
For my real estate site as I have close to 10000 odd listings, will be evaluating and moving over to another component soon.
Had I known the developer would do such a thing, I would not have invested hours into modifying the template / adding listings into the current version.
Will try a final time with the Australian Trade Commission in my region if they can do something in this regard, or I believe my money is lost.
Easy question: do nothing and move on.
$350 is not enough to spent time fighting with a developer when your only real chance is to win a refund or license for the next version. I doubt you want to continue using this developers products, and the time you spent fighting for a refund is better spent generating more money and growing your business.
Don't sweat the little stuff, just keep doing business and try to win long-term.
I think you need to apply for the third party - I mean payment processor.And start dealing about money back

Virginia Thomas: The Call to Anita Hill Was a Mistake
The title to this post pretty much gives you all you need to know, but let us elaborate, briefly.
Virginia Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, recently told The Daily Caller website that the phone call she recently made to Anita Hill, asking Hill to apologize for accusing Clarence Thomas of harassing her back during his confirmation hearings in 1991, was a mistake.
Thomas told the Daily Caller that the call was "a private matter," but added, "it was probably a mistake on my part." That's all she told the publication about it. So lots of the questions behind the call, like why 7 a.m. on a Saturday? and, for that matter, what was she thinking?, remain. Click here, here and here for earlier LB coverage.
In any event, whaddya think, LBers? Should she now owe Hill an apology for the call? [End of post]

Chicken Braised with Madras Vegetable Curry Sauce
What could be easier—brown some chicken thighs and pour in our flavorful sauce, then braise in a slow cooker or Dutch oven until the meat is fork-tender. The healthy braising sauce, inspired by the curries of southern India, includes traditional madras curry spices along with vegetables, garlic and ginger.
- 3 lb. bone-in, skinless chicken thighs
- Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste (optional)
- 1 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 jar (1 lb. 3.5 oz.) madras vegetable curry braising sauce
If desired, lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Slow-cooker method: In a large fry pan over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Working in batches, brown the chicken on both sides, 8 to 10 minutes per batch. Transfer to a slow cooker and add the braising sauce. Cover and cook on high according to the manufacturer's instructions until the chicken is fork-tender, about 2 hours.
Oven method: Preheat an oven to 325°F. In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil and brown the chicken as directed above. Return all the chicken to the pot, add the braising sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover the pot with a lid, transfer to the oven and cook until the chicken is fork-tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Serves 4 to 6.

Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) is a member of the hnRNP A/B family of related RNA binding proteins that bind pre-mRNA and are involved in the processing, metabolism, and transport of nuclear pre-mRNA transcripts (1). hnRNP A1 regulates the alternative splicing of c-Src and c-H-Ras (2,3) and modifies initiation of translation of the fibroblast growth factor 2 mRNA (4). hnRNP A1 expression level is elevated in many cancers; knockdown of hnRNP A1 leads to apoptosis in various cancer cells (5). Although predominantly nuclear, hnRNP A1 is continually transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it disassociates from mRNA and is rapidly re-imported into the nucleus (6,7). hnRNP A1 binds to cis-acting repressive sequences (CRS) of HIV-1 to influence HIV-1 production (8,9). HIV-1 enhances hnRNP A1 expression and promotes the relocalization of hnRNP A1 to the cytoplasm (10).

Maple Leafs centre Trevor Smith said on Monday he will "probably be ready in the next couple of days" to return.
Smith has been on the sideline since suffering a broken right hand in a game against Florida on Dec. 17.
"I've done a lot of shooting the past couple of days and I feel confident with it," Smith said after participating in practice. "The strength is good. I'm just working on a bit of contact and I'm just trying to feel comfortable. It feels good."
Smith has an appointment with team doctors on Tuesday.
Dave Bolland skated before practice and then joined his teammates for a bit before departing. Bolland played in 15 games before he suffered a lacerated tendon in his ankle in November.
"We will see how the response is (on Tuesday)," Leafs coach Randy Carlyle said. "I know that each day he has been getting better. This is now the meat of the testing and how far he is going to be able to take this in the next couple of days."
No return date has been set for Bolland.
Frazer McLaren (shoulder) practised again on Monday, while David Clarkson (elbow) is not close to returning.
Probably not a good idea to suggest to captain Dion Phaneuf that some outside the dressing room have suggested the Leafs have had shaky goaltending recently.
It's valid, of course, as the Leafs have allowed 12 goals in two games and both Jonathan Bernier and James Reimer were pulled, but Phaneuf did not want to hear it.
"They have been consistent, given us a chance to win night in and night out," Phaneuf said. "For people to be saying shaky, or using (similar) words, is very unfair."
It's hard to envision anything other than another start for Bernier against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, even though he has not faced the Lightning in his career.
Reimer is 2-3 in five career decisions versus Tampa.
Lightning star and Canadian Olympian Steve Stamkos, who has not played since breaking his right leg on Nov. 11 against the Boston Bruins, pulled himself off the ice on Monday after a couple of laps.
"At this stage you want to err on the side of caution," Stamkos told reporters in Tampa before the team departed for Toronto. "I didn't feel the best, so I didn't want to risk anything. What we said at the beginning (of his recovery) that we have to be prepared for really good days and some days where it does not feel that good.
"I have had a lot more good days than bad days lately, but the truth is when I do come back there is going to be those days when it is sore. Today was a day like that. But I still got a good off-ice workout in."
Stamkos, who is on his team's four-game trip, hopes to play in a game before the Olympics.
"There is always massive speculation about when he comes back," Tampa coach Jon Cooper said. "We're still ways away before any doctor would say he is coming back. But things are going well."
Even without Stamkos, the Lightning have been playing solid hockey, and not just because of what Martin St. Louis and goalie Ben Bishop have been doing.
"Their hockey club has taken on an identity of being a team that plays up-tempo, skates off the puck, has five men involved," Carlyle said.
"Bishop has given them a chance night in and night out. Probably a lot of people would not recognize the names, but they recognize the ability and level they are playing to."
The Leafs have 28 games remaining and four of them, including two in the next eight days, are against Tampa. Considering they are seven points behind the Lightning in the Eastern Conference standings, these games can't be underestimated.
"They are big points," Phaneuf said.
"We are not looking past (Tuesday) night's game. We had a good practice. Got back from the road, we were energized today and it is good to be home."

Bring entitlement spending under control
Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid cannot be allowed to gobble up unlimited taxes. Sustainable limits must be placed on these and other entitlements.

Wars come and go. Entitlements grow. Even if the wars are ended and the military trimmed, the debt-and-spending crisis will return unless entitlement spending is under some principle of control.
In a few cases, the answer may include taxes. Social Security might raise the cap on taxable income, which has been $106,800 since 2009, in conjunction with a slower growth in benefits. But Social Security is the easy case.
Medicare and Medicaid have much bigger problems. The rise in their spending is fueled by the aging population and ever-more-expensive advances in medical care. Their problems cannot be solved with taxes unless American workers want government to take an ever-increasing share of their pay.
Entitlements require a limit. For most of the programs the money should be limited to the people with the greatest need. Medicare may have to be means-tested.
Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., has proposed that future Medicare enrollees buy private medical coverage, but the government would pick up some of the cost. How much might depend on the income of the recipient.
Ryan also proposed that Medicaid, which is already means-tested, be block-granted to the states. It is a harsh proposal, but it does solve the problem.
From the liberal side there is a thought of a single-payer system for everyone, which could be harsh in a different way. Both approaches are radical departures from what exists now, but each may contain some element of a solution that would work, and that Americans would accept.

A man accused of killing three people at a party near Auburn University in Alabama has turned himself in after a three-day manhunt.
Desmonte Leonard, 22, is charged with three counts of capital murder over a shooting on Saturday night that followed a fight over a woman. He is accused of wounding three others. The dead included two former Auburn college football players. A current player was among the injured.
Susan James, a lawyer, said her office had arranged for Desmonte Leonard to turn himself in at a Montgomery courthouse at about 7.50pm on Tuesday after collecting him about 50 miles from Montgomery.
"He was very calm, very tired and very ready to get this over with and very respectful," she said.
Two men have been charged with misleading authorities during the search for Leonard.
Police surrounded a house in Montgomery on Monday afternoon thinking Leonard was inside after they received two tips. They went in with teargas, spy gear and assault rifles but said after a tense nine-hour search that they had discovered Leonard was gone by the time they arrived.
Leonard had a connection to the house through someone other than the owner, said the city's public safety director, Chris Murphy.

There's good news and bad news.
Some folks - the Mayans for example – believe the world will end on December 21.
Others – like UK Prepper Michael 'Roach' Sanderson, pictured right – are prepared for disaster but maintain a positive outlook.
"Let's put it this way," says the former soldier and paramedic. "I've just signed up for a three-month television series on the art of survival."
Michael, 53, of Purway Close in Luton has a bug-out vehicle (a one-tonne military trailer) in his 'man cave' (garage). This is packed with enough provisions to keep his family of four going for three months.
"We'd head for our retreat in Wales which is also stocked for three months," he explains. "And we'd be ready to leave home in 15 minutes."
Michael served in the Falklands and Northern Ireland which honed his survival skills.
But watching Hurricane Katrina unfold in 2005 was the catalyst for his YouTube armouredcockroach postings which have had 600,000 hits.
"I didn't want to be a keyboard commando," he says. "I wanted to say to people 'Here's what I'd do.'"
The series of videos shows Michael demonstrating a variety of survival techniques, including bread baking in a hole in the ground – which could have helped people fleeing the aftermath of the storm.
"I was horrified by the basic, fundamental mistakes that were made," he says.
"The first thing that happens is sewers overflow and it's difficult to find a viable water source.
"Within 72 hours you're running out of food and that's when the looting starts to happen." Michael suggests having three packed plastic crates ready for an emergency – one containing incidentals like soap, toothpaste and washing powder, another with warm clothing and a third with water, tinned and dehydrated foods.
He dismisses Armageddon as a "nutter's charter" but believes we should all be concerned about disasters like the recent floods or a resurgence of the rioting that occurred last year.
"You can't expect the state to save you," he claims. "Lots of people phoned the police during the disturbances but no-one came."
Michael's tips don't just cover natural disasters – they also apply to personal events like being made redundant, finding yourself homeless or getting divorced.
"The same guidelines apply," he says. "You've got to adapt to the new environment as soon as possible."

Vancouver Whitecaps' head coach Teitur Thordarson could know by this morning whether Jeff and the two Wesleys are available for Friday's visit by the Miami FC Blues.
Starting defenders Jeff Parke, Wes Knight and Wes Charles departed early and in pain from Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Montreal Impact in USL-1 play.
Charles is the Whitecaps' defensive general. Former New York Red Bull Parke has been a quiet presence in the back line. Knight rebounded from a shaky pre-season to become an early contender for USL rookie of the year.
"It's bad actually," Thordarson said. "Wesley got a very bad kick on the hip. He's having X-rays (Monday) morning. Jeff has a problem with his toe, he has been struggling. Wes Knight, he has an ankle problem and that might put him out for a while."
The Impact paid extra attention to Knight on Sunday after the College of Charleston, S.C. product repeatedly fed crosses into the Montreal penalty area during Nutrilite Canadian Championship play.

As the Kids go Back at School - Check out Our Best Adult Holidays
Nov 19, 2012, 04:30 ET from Direct Holidays
LONDON, November 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Some holidaymakers might breathe a sigh of relief as kids go back to school following half term, leaving beaches and hotel pool sides childfree. As the school gates re-open for the final push until Christmas, a number of people might be keen to snap up some cheeky cheap holidays abroad, and grab some much needed rays.
Direct Holidays brings you some of the best adult holiday destinations for this time of year.
Cyprus is a longstanding popular holiday destination amongst Brits and it is easy to see why. The stunning coastal beaches combined with strips of bars and restaurants makes Cyprus the perfect holiday location to relax and unwind. Ayia Napa is the clubbing destination of choice, while Limassol (Lemesos) is another popular destination for those looking to enjoy a well-earned break.
You will never be lost for things to do on a cheap Cyprus holiday. For example, for those looking for something a little different than just beaches and bars, they might want to take a stroll through more than one of the 50 boutique wineries, which are scattered across the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus.
Tunisia has become increasingly popular over the last decade or so attracting tourists from all over the world. Tunisia Holidays provides the perfect setting for a stress-free break - and one that won't break the bank as this country is renowned for its cheap prices. The country boasts stunning natural beauty, a vibrant North African culture, great resorts, and near perfect year-round weather. It ticks all the boxes for a sun and sea holiday in the winter months, with temperatures still in the teens and an average of six hours sunshine during the day.
Rhodes is a diverse and rich island which enjoys an exceptionally mild climate all year round. The vibrant nightlife combined with calm medieval-style back streets set against a backdrop of mountains makes it the ideal holiday destination for adults looking for some R&R.
For the more adventurous, Rhodes holidays can also include diving experiences where you can enjoy exploring underwater worlds and shipwrecks or cultural extravaganzas in the World Heritage listed Old Town of Rhodes.
Turkey is another jewel which offers golden sandy beaches for reasonable rates. The Southern regions, along the Mediterranean Sea are the most popular, offering an almost unspoilt coastline and a unique cultural heritage. Anyone looking for a low cost holiday abroad might want to consider the popular holiday destination as there are great resorts and bargains to be had in the off-season.

It's been 10 years since you sat in your friend's basement playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, even though your mom told you that you're not supposed to.
To celebrate this anniversary, developer Rockstar is republishing the classic open-world crime games for iOS and Android mobile devices Monday.
"Grand Theft Auto: Vice City gave players the freedom of a massive open world in one of the most iconic and vibrant settings ever realized in a game," Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser said. "It was a defining moment in the series and we're delighted to be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year with a stunning, updated version for phones and tablets."
While Rockstar set Grand Theft Auto III in a faux-New York called Liberty City, Vice City is clearly an homage to 1980s Miami. It features tons of music from that time, which hopefully is still intact for this smartphone version.
Grand Theft Auto III is available now on iOS and Android, and it plays surprisingly well on touchscreen devices.

Jesse Lumsden could become a Blue Bomber as soon as Tuesday.
Or not.
The Bombers did discuss how a contract with the Canadian running back would be structured Monday morning, con-firmed assistant GM Ross Hodgkinson, who has been handling the negotiations for Winnipeg. But nothing had been finalized as early Monday evening.
"He texted me (Monday) morning and said he would get back to me but I haven't heard from him yet," Hodgkinson said.
"Am I hoping to get him signed soon? Sure. But my understanding is he's talking to other teams. The ideal situation would be to get him in here (Tuesday) and be practising with us Wednesday."
Hodgkinson has been in discussions with the former firstround draft pick for more than a week but Lumsden, who has played for both Edmonton and Hamilton in the past, admitted in his Twitter account (JesseLumsden28) that he has indeed been talking to others.
"I have not signed anywhere yet. Over the last 72 hours I have been in contact with a few teams," he tweeted.
Hodgkinson said previously that the Bombers would not get into a bidding war over Lumsden.
Lumsden, 28, has not played since suffering a shoulder injury in the first game of the 2009 season and would have to pass a physical and prove to be in game shape before he could suit up.
SHUT UP: The gotiations with Lumsden come just after Bomber RB Fred Reid enjoyed his best rushing day of the season, romping for 148 yards on 17 carries against Saskatchewan. But Lumsden could be used to spell off Reid, who said he had fresh legs after missing two or three practices with the flu last week. Lumsden could also line up in the same backfield as Reid, who just moved into third place in CFL rushing.
Reid, meanwhile, was happy to be able to shut Saskatchewan linebacker Barrin Simpson up.
"I didn't want him to get to me two weeks in a row because we talk a lot on the phone," he said. "We're good friends and I have to hear it from him and I don't want to hear it from him."
LOWERING BOOM: There were many others but the most devastating strike of the game came when LB Marcellus Bowman lowered the boom on Saskatchewan FB Chris Szarka, forcing him to fumble and leaving him crumpled on the turf for an extended period.
"It felt great," Bowman said. "I just ran as fast as I could and sacrificed my body. It's as simple as that."
Did it hurt?
"That one didn't hurt me," he said. "It was euphoria. That felt good until they called the play back (due to a penalty to DE Odell Willis)."
SAFETY SAVE: The Bombers had a third down at their own 10 but head coach Paul LaPolice chose to have punter Mike Renaud kick it out of his own endzone into a strong wind in the third quarter.
"When we kicked off, we weren't kicking very well into the wind at all," LaPolice explained. "If we concede, we concede points right away. Plus, we back up to the 25 to kick the ball, so they may get the ball at the 50 yard-line anyway and put themselves into a position for a long field. And, for as well as our defence was playing, I really felt that Mike would be able to boom one as long as he could and not give them easy points because they hadn't moved the ball offensively. Unfortunately, that's probably his worst kick of the game (23 yards)."
That and a no-yards penalty gave the Riders the ball at the Winnipeg 28.
"Our defence did a good job and it looked like a good thing because we held them to one point on that drive (missed field goal)," LaPolice said. "On another day, I may have decided not to punt it out because of the factors in the game."
BROWNE DOWN: Bombers backup safety Brady Browne suffered a high ankle sprain Sunday and is out indefinitely.
SAD NOTE: Former Bomber OL Val Belcher reportedly passed away while waiting for a heart transplant in an Ottawa hospital. He was 57. Belcher played for both Ottawa and the Bombers, helping them win the 1984 Grey Cup. He is survived by a partner and three children.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care Inc, Houston, TX, USA
We started with the Palliative Care Program 5 years ago, when nobody in our Institution had heart about Palliative Care before. At the beginning we hadn´t patients and therefore it was really difficult to get financial resources to support the Program, and at that moment the International Association of Hospice and Palliative Care (IAHPC) played a key role giving as the possibility to receive 3 years of financial support as a Faculty Development Program. At the beginning we were only one physician and one psychologist. Today we are four physicians, three nurses and two psychologist, and we work together with kinesiologist, members of the pastoral and of the psyquiatry department. But IAHPC is not only a source of funding, it's also a great source of inspiration and education for all the professionals who are working in the palliative care field around the world. Personally, the opportunity to have been supported to attend international palliative care meetings and to know Liliana de Lima and Eduardo Bruera, was fundamental to believe in the spirit of Palliative Care represented by the IAHPC, a discipline which work to improve the quality of life of patients with advanced life-threatening conditions and their families. In our world it's not easy to find Institution really moved by such altruistic motivations.

The North Las Vegas City Council voted Wednesday to "refinance" the city in order to stay afloat.
Two justice facility bonds and the city hall bond will be refinanced starting Nov. 1 to create a reserve in the cash-strapped city. The restructuring will drop the city's debt payments on the bonds on average $3.6 million a year for the next five years.
"It allows us some more cash upfront in the next five years to be able to continue operations and maintenance without having to do layoffs and those kinds of things," said acting Finance Director Al Noyola. "The downside is that in the future we have higher debt payments we have to make to that bond."
Currently the city pays $8.9 million a year in bond debt. Although the refinance would reduce the payment for five years, the city will eventually have to pay more than $11 million a year starting in 2017 for 19 years to pay off the debt.
Noyola said the measure had to be taken for the city to pay its bills.
"Right now the city does not have enough cash reserves to be able to meet all the financial obligations it has when payments come due," Noyola said.
Councilwoman Anita Wood, who along with Robert Eliason did not vote in favor of the item, said it was wrong to place a burden on future council members and citizens.
"We are now passing on this debt to our taxpayers," Wood said. "We are asking them, for the next 19 years, to pay this bill. It is because — and only because — the council here has been unable to gain the concessions that we have needed and now our residents are going to pay the price for that. We've backed ourselves into a corner and we don't have any other way to get out."
Mayor Shari Buck said the city is hard-pressed for cash because it does not collect adequate consolidated taxes from the state.
"The economy in the United States, the economy in this valley and C-Tax, all of those things that come to bear in the city of North Las Vegas," Buck said, referring to consolidated tax revenue. "I want this city to survive and I'm willing to refinance to get our bond rating up."
Consolidated taxes are actually up 5 percent for the city this year, according to Noyola, and that, along with a hopeful reconfiguration of the tax formula that may bring in more tax dollars, is what the mayor plans to use to pay back the loans.
In the end, Noyola said refinancing will cost the city $22 million, roughly $4 million more than the original $18 million in debt. The city still expects a budget deficit in the next fiscal year.
Noyola said he hopes once the city has a safe amount of cash it can begin to keep a steady reserve, about enough to pay its bills for a full month, so a similar situation won't occur again.

But finding domestic tranquillity wasn't easy for Anthony, who had a fair share of tabloid exposure from stormy relationships with Mira Sorvino and Jennifer Lopez. He and Torres, a former Miss Universe from Puerto Rico, were introduced at a party. They dated on and off for almost 2 1/2 years. Then, in May 2000, while they were in Los Angeles for an awards show, Anthony surprised Torres by chartering two planes filled with friends and family to Las Vegas. At midnight the two were married in the penthouse Oriental Suite of the Desert Inn.
Before the press junkets start for his new CDs, Anthony will take his family on a cruise aboard his new 73-ft. yacht Maribel, named after the sister he lost to a brain tumor. He's excited, yet embarrassed by the extravagance. He recalls going through "rich people's trash" on Manhattan's Upper East Side as a child, looking for toys his mother couldn't afford: "I'll never forget finding this Tonka truck. It was missing a wheel, but it was the best toy I ever had." These days, there's little missing in his life.

Canadian pharmaceuticals company Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. (VRX - Free Report) recently announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire private eye care company, Eyetech, Inc., signaling management's increasing interest to enter into the ophthalmic space. The acquisition will add Eyetech's drug Macugen to Valeant Pharma's ophthalmic portfolio.
Macugen is marketed in the US for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by Eyetech. However, Eyetech has a partnership pharma giant Pfizer, Inc. (PFE - Free Report) to market the drug outside the US. The acquisition is expected to boost Valeant Pharma's earnings immediately following closure.
Valeant Pharma did not clearly mention the purchase price of the transaction. Management, however, mentioned that in addition to an undisclosed upfront payment, Valeant Pharma will make future milestone payments which will equal to less than two times sales of Macugen.
The Eyetech offer comes on the heels of the failure to acquire another eye-care company, California-based ISTA Pharmaceuticals in January 2012. Despite some botched deals Valeant Pharma made a number of acquisitions in 2011. It added PharmaSwiss and Sanitas in Europe, Ortho, a dermatology unit of pharma giant Johnson & Johnson (JNJ - Free Report) , Dermik, the dermatology unit of Sanofi (SNY - Free Report) in the US, iNova in Australia, and Afexa Life Sciences, Inc. in Canada.
The acquisitions are expected to help Valeant Pharma achieve its aim of becoming a top 15 pharmaceutical company by the end of 2013. In 2012 Valeant Pharma flagged off its acquisition spree with the purchase of Brazilian sports nutrition and food supplements company Probiotica Laboratorios Ltd. in February.
Our Recommendation
We currently have a Neutral long-term recommendation on Valeant Pharma. The stock carries a Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy rating) in the short run.
Valeant Pharma, as it stands today, was formed following the merger of Biovail and Valeant in September 2010. We believe the combined Biovail/Valeant entity is a unique company as it has a global reach (including exposure to important emerging markets), a diversified revenue base, a favorable tax structure and limited patent exposure. Moreover, accretive acquisitions add to the company's investment thesis.

Siegren Johnson is a certified Raw Vegan Chef and Educator and owner of TRU Cuisine. She is educated extensively in the theory of Raw Nutrition and Raw Food Preparation, and is in high demand as a Personal Raw Food Chef in the Phoenix/Scottsdale area.
I had the chance to speak with Siegren, who seems like such a down to earth person, and ask her some amazing questions and I think you will enjoy the interview as well.
First, I want to thank you Siegren for taking the tme to speak with me and our readers at Higher Rock Music. We truly appreciate it.
1.) How did you get introduced to Raw Food?
After becoming vegan, I joined the local Vegetarian Society for support and to meet other like minded individuals. At one of the gatherings, we viewed a documentary on the healing powers of raw foods on diabetics. As I had been dealing with a personal health crisis for several years, I wondered if these foods could heal me as well. I began researching raw and living foods, and started incorporating more into my own diet. This just wasn't enough for me. I wanted to know the science behind the food, as well as gain the culinary skills to make my food even more interesting,and appealing to those who weren't raw or vegan. I then decided to invest in a solid and intense educational program based on the teachings of raw food pioneer, Dr. Gabriel Cousens. After graduation I felt compelled to share my experiences and knowledge with others who were also in need of healing, or those who wanted to better their health - and ultimately their lives - through raw foods.
2.) What is considered Raw Food for readers who do not know?
"Raw" or "Living" defines foods that are in their whole, natural state. Because they have not been heated above 118 degrees and are minimally processed, they still contain enzymes and are rich in nutrients. Our bodies can easily identify these alkalizing foods, making them easier to digest, putting less strain on our bodies.
3.) So many people are dealing with illnesses from minor to major now a days. What are some Raw Foods to incorporate into your day to help any sort of illness?
Nutrient rich greens are the best and easiest way to improve your health. Take Kale, for example. Kale is super high in beta carotene (a powerful antioxidant), lutein, calcium, potassium, vitamin C, folic acid, and is packed with fiber! It can be added to green smoothies, made into delicious chips, or included in salads. Superfoods such as chia seeds, flax, goji berries, raw cacao (chocolate), hemp seed, and coconut oil are also great sources of nutrition and promote a healthy PH level in our bodies.
4.) What is one myth about Raw Food that in your opinion is incorrect?
"With raw foods, its all or nothing.". Many of my students and clients feel that if they are not 100 percent raw, they wont see any of the benefits of these amazing foods. That is a misconception. Of course becoming 100 percent raw is optimal but even by adding one raw meal a day to your diet, you are treating your body to a nutrient dense experience. I have found that those who slowly incorporate raw foods into their SAD diets soon gravitate to more raw foods as they begin to feel the difference in their energy level, quality of sleep, and improved digestion.
5.) Where did your vision come from to start TRU Cuisine and how did you come up with the name?
When I graduated I was so excited about the information I had, I wanted to tell the world. I felt it was my obligation to share what I knew; what I had experienced in my own life - in my own body. I opened TRU Cuisine with a compelling vision in mind: "To promote health and happiness through a raw vegan diet." I felt that my business's name should reflect the cuisine that I truly believed in and endorsed. The real, or true, way that man was intended to consume the bounty of plant life on earth; in its whole natural state. Thus TRU Cuisne.
6.) Tell us about TRU Cuisine and what your company actually does?
TRU Cuisine provides private and group nutrition and preparation classes, private consultations for those with health concerns, guided detoxing and juice fasts, as well as event catering and personal cheffing services.
7.) I know you also work privately with clients from illness - you must have seen such amazing healings and testimonies. Can you share any?
My clients information is confidential, but I'd be happy to tell you a little bit about my own health issue. When I was 21, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer. I thought I'd never live to see my thirtieth birthday. My doctor (whom I now adore) had me in his office at least once every three months, poking and sticking me or freezing and scraping cancer cells from my poor cervix. This is how I lived - for many years, in fear. I considered myself a pretty healthy critter before then. I felt my diet was great, high animal protein, low carbs, as is the norm in America. I was active, not really overweight, and not normally sick with anything more than the 2 yearly miserable colds I always managed to catch. It never occurred to me that the foods I was eating had a direct effect on the way my body preformed. I never thought that those same animal proteins I consumed at every meal to maintain "good health and weight" were the same things that were making my body completely acidic and prone to disease. Now, nearly 31, I know that I will die an old lady, who led a long and fulfilling life. I know cancer will not end me. Raw foods set me free.
8.) I know you have been featured in Jordan Rubins "The Raw Truth" and contribute recipes to Vivapura Superfoods. How do you come up with all these creative recipes?
During my raw education, I was so fortunate to be trained in the kitchen by a former food editor and Schoolcraft Culinary Institute graduate. I was able to learn many skills like flavor and taste balancing, as well as experiment with almost all the raw ingredients known to man! I was also blessed with a great palate from my mother, also a chef in her own right. I experiment in my test kitchen most days of the week. Its such fun for me to create lovely dishes (some that remind me of my favorite SAD meals) , then test them out on my eager friends and family. A lot of recipes end up making the cut and turn up in my classes or at catered events. I feel the most important thing to remember when creating a raw dish is to keep it simple and fresh.
9.) What other plans should we expect from Siegren and TRU Cuisine in 2011?
Any new projects coming up? 2011 is an exciting year for TRU Cuisine! We have many classes already scheduled, including a Nationwide Guided Green Juice Detox/Fast in February which anyone in the United States can attend. We are also looking forward to participating in an event at the Natural Gourmet Institute of New York in March. Our first Un-Cookbook is also in the works, and should be completed at the end of the year.

text: 2000 GT with 150000 miles, daily driver. I installed some new fuel injectors and spark plugs last weekend. The old injectors were stock (19 lbs./hr), and I replaced them with Accel injectors of the same rate. While accelerating, I notice a loss of power, particularly at around 3000 rpms. It feels like the car is hesitating momentarily. I did not have any misfire DTCs. However, I did get a P0171 and P0174 (Too lean in Bank 1 and Bank2) at one point. I thought that may have had to do with a vacuum leak that I may have created during the injector install because I did disconnect and reconnect a bunch of vacuum related components. I checked all of the connections. I actually replaced two hoses that may have been a little suspect and I was able to tighten the EGR tube slightly. I drove the car about 10 miles after that, and I did not see any DTCs, but the loss of power issue was still there. Any suggestions as to what to try next? I am thinking that I should reinstall the old injectors to see if the power loss still exists. During removal, a small piece of plastic broke off of one injector near the tip. I assume that one should not be reused. I could purchase one new injector from Ford, but they seem to be pricey. Any help is appreciated!

It's easy to transfer your phone numbers from your current service provider to Skype for Business. After you port your phone numbers to Skype for Business, Microsoft will become your service provider and will bill you for those phone numbers.
Everything you need to know before porting numbers
Note: Before you get started, we process port orders for transferring phone numbers only on U.S. business days and not on public holidays or weekends.
What countries/regions support number porting?
You can port or transfer phone numbers in all of the supported countries or regions but how you submit a port order request depend on the country or region where the phone numbers come from. You can see a listing of the countries/regions that are supported by going here. When you are doing phone number management tasks such as transferring (porting) numbers or getting phone numbers that are aren't available in the Skype for Business admin center, go here.
What numbers can be transferred?
In general, you can transfer any phone number that is from a supported provider, including:
Land line phone numbers.
Mobile device phone numbers such as those used for cell phone and tablets, etc.
Note: Transferring mobile numbers is only available in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Toll phone numbers.
Toll-free phone numbers.
Note: Universal International Freephone Number (UIFN) can't be transferred to us.
Service phone numbers such as those used for conference bridges, auto attendants, etc.
Fax phone numbers, but they can't be used for faxing. They will have to be assigned to a user.
VoIP phone numbers from a phone provider such as Vonage or RingCentral.
Skype for Business Hybrid phone numbers. If you want to transfer these numbers, you need send email to us.
Note: At this time, you can't transfer any phone number or numbers that aren't from a supported country/region including phone numbers from a VoIP phone provider. To see a list of supported countries/regions, see Countries and regions that are supported for Skype for Business Online PSTN Services
Phone numbers used for data connections like for DSL lines or broadband Internet connections.
Phone numbers dedicated to faxing.
If you have existing dedicated phone numbers that are being used for faxing, you can transfer these numbers over to Skype for Business but your fax services won't continue to work as expected. Faxing services aren't available to Skype for Business customers, even if you have licenses for Phone System, Domestic Calling Plan or International Calling Plan.
If you port the phone number to Skype for Business, you can assign this phone number to a user in your organization instead of using it for faxing.
Note: At this time in the United Kingdom (U.K.), we currently don't support transferring UK non-geographic numbers including shared cost numbers for area codes 0843, 0844, 0845, 0870, 0871, 0872.
What information will I need to provide?
You'll need to have all of the account information for your current carrier. The information you will need to put in the port order is mostly found on the most recent bill or invoice from your current service provider. You'll also need to know whose name is on the account and of course what numbers you want to port.
What are full-port and partial-port transfers?
When you are porting phone numbers to Office 365, you have the option to transfer all of your numbers, or some of them.
Full-port This is when you transfer all of your numbers from your current service provider to Skype for Business Online. When you are asked for the phone numbers you want to transfer, you must include the billing telephone number along with all of the other phone numbers on your account.
For example, let's say your billing telephone number is +1 425-555-1234 and you want to port all of your 25 phone numbers (+1 425-555-1235 through 1259). When you follow the instructions below to transfer your numbers, you would enter: +14255551234 - +14255551259.
Partial-port This is when you are only transferring some of your phone numbers from your current service provider to Skype for Business Online. When you are want to port some of the phone numbers tied to the same billing telephone number, you must not include the billing telephone number along with all of the other phone numbers on your account.
For example, let's say your billing phone number (BTN) is +1 425-555-1234 and you want to port only 5 of your 25 phone numbers (+1 425-555-1235 through 1259). When you follow the instructions below to transfer your numbers, you would enter: +1 425 555 1235 - +1 425 555 1239.
Can I submit a single number porting request for all of my numbers at one time?
A unique request is needed for each carrier and type of number being ported.
For example, you need to submit a unique number porting request for each of the following types of numbers:
Local Toll numbers, also known as subscriber numbers or geographic numbers
Toll Free numbers with area codes such as: 800, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888
Mobile numbers
Service numbers that can be used for Audio Conferencing in Office 365.
Here's more information about submitting number porting requests for each of these types of numbers:
Telephone numbers provided by different carriers require a unique porting request for numbers with each carrier.
Toll Free numbers with area codes such as: 800, 844, 855, 866, 877 and 888 cannot be included in a number porting request with other types of numbers. To port these Toll Free numbers, you must submit a request manually using a Letter of Authorization (LOA); they cannot be submitted in the Skype for Business admin center.
It's important to use the correct LOA for the country, and type of phone numbers, you want to port. You can download the LOAs here.
Mobile numbers require a PIN code to authorize the transfer. Therefore, they need separate number porting request.
Service number porting requests need to be submitted by themselves. They cannot be submitted with other types of numbers.
How long does it take to port numbers?
After you've completed the port order request, it will take between 7-14 days to be processed. However, depending on your service provider it may take up to 30 days. After the phone numbers are ported over, you will get an email from us telling you that you are good to go.
You can check the status of your port order by going to the Skype for Business admin center > Voice > Port orders. The status will be listed in the window under the Status column.
Can user (subscriber) phone numbers be converted to service numbers?
Yes they can. All you need to do is submit a service request that includes your organization's tenant GUID and the phone numbers you want converted. To do this go here.
Common mistakes to watch out for
Number porting is easy to do. Your order can get messed up, however, when there is a problem with the phone service provider, the order is incomplete and missing information, or there are typos.
Here are the most common mistakes we see customers make when they port numbers. Save yourself a call to customer support and double-check for these errors.
Make sure the account information you give matches exactly what your phone carrier has on record. Mismatched information is the most common cause of errors and delay your port order. Verify the following is true:
Authorized name is correct.
Address is correct.
Account number is correct.
Billing Telephone Number (BTN) is correct.
Make sure there are no advanced call control features, for example, Call Hunt, Distinctive Ring, that are enabled on these telephone numbers.
Make sure you haven't placed any new service orders or disconnects with your current service provider.
Make sure all numbers are from the same carrier and the same account.
Make sure your service is active. Freezing the account prevents the change of carriers on the account. The authorized user will need to submit an order to the current carrier to remove the freeze. This process can take 1-3 weeks depending on the carrier.
Can you transfer or port out numbers?
To transfer or port out phone numbers from Skype for Business Online to another telephone service provider or carrier, you will need to set a PIN. After you set the PIN, you need to include it when you request to port a phone number out. To see how to set up your PIN, see Set your PIN for transferring phone numbers to a new service provider.
How to create a port order and transfer your phone numbers to Skype for Business
If you have service numbers for dial-in conferencing bridges, auto attendants or other service numbers, toll-free phone numbers or have more than 999 user (subscriber) phone numbers that you need to transfer to Skype for Business, see Manually submit a port order request.
Use the steps below if you have fewer than 999 phone numbers to transfer.
Tip: Sometimes it takes a long time to transfer your phone numbers in groups (referred to as bulk, project, or a complex port) but this depends on your current service provider. If you have multiple orders with a bunch of phone numbers, open a support ticket and let us help you. See Manually submit a port order request.
Sign in to Office 365 with your work or school account.
Go to the Office 365 admin center > Skype for Business.
In the left navigation go to Voice > Port orders > click Add.
On the New Local Number Port Order page, read the information and then click Let's get started.
On the Account info page, enter the following and then click Next:
Account number Account number for the service provider or carrier.
Billing telephone number must be in the E.164 format (requires a + sign to prepend the number). For example, for a North America number, use the format +1XXXYYYZZZZ.
PIN to unblock number PIN - if needed by your current service provider or carrier.
Company name This is the name of your company or organization.
Note: The Company name box will only accept 25 characters that includes spaces. If the company's name is longer than 25 characters, the first 25 characters of the name will be submitted and the port order will still be processed.
Authorizing person Authorized user's name.
Note: The Authorizing person box will only accept 15 characters that includes spaces. If the authorized person's name is longer than 15 characters, the first 15 characters of the name will be submitted and the port order will still be processed.
Service address Service address for the account. This will be listed on the bill from your service provider or carrier.
City, State, Zip of the service address.
On the Numbers page, enter the phone numbers that you want to transfer in E.164 format. For example, for a North America number, use the format +1XXXYYYZZZZ. Separate multiple phone numbers by using a comma.
Note: If you are doing a full-port, you need to include the service Billing Telephone Number (BTN) in the list. If you are doing a partial-port, leave the service Billing Telephone Number (BTN) out of this list.
If you are doing a full-port, select I am transferring all my numbers from my current carrier. If you are doing a partial-port, select I'm only transferring some of my numbers. After you choose the right one, click Check number portability.
Click Proceed.
On the Transfer date page, on the Day drop down, select the date and under the Start time drop down, select the time (EST) and then click Next.
On the Letter of authorization page, check each of the following boxes. Then under the Signature box, type the person that is authorized to make changes to the account. This is the same name that is used on the Account Information page > Authorizing person. Then click Next.
On the Submit page under Other people to notify enter any other email address of the people you want to and click Submit port order. The port order will now be listed on the Port orders page. You can view the status of the order under Status column. You can view details of the port order such as the Order ID, Submitted, Transfer date and Status. You can see more details for the port order in the Action pane, including the name of the carrier.
What happens next?
Once your port order has been submitted and received, you will be sent an email that verifies your port order.
Your port order request will be checked and updated daily and you will be notified of its progress and status in email. If your request is rejected, you will be asked to open a support ticket and in that support ticket we ask that you provide Port Order ID. The port order ID can be found in the Skype for Business admin center under Voice > Port orders > Order ID column.
What if I have problems?
The service address isn't the same as the billing address. The address information I submitted on the order matches my customer's bill copy, why is it still rejecting? Most carriers will identify the porting information based on the service address information, not the billing address. Since a bill copy is a billing record, it may not provide the same information as the service address for the telephone number(s) being ported.
What should I do if my order is taking too long to process? We want number porting to be very simple and quick process. If your order is taking longer than you think it should and the status still doesn't show as complete in the Skype for Business admin center, please open support ticket and include the port order ID.

By DE Editors
A majority of consumers say being able to see 3D images of prospective purchases online makes them more likely to buy those products, more likely to consider them high quality and less likely to return them, according to an Autodesk, Inc. Design Survey conducted in early June.
At the same time, more than two-thirds of respondents suggest they would like to learn about products through 3D images that can be zoomed in and out, and they prefer web sites that allow them to see how a product works in the real world before they purchase.
"The business takeaway is clear: 3D is now mandatory table stakes for doing business—it's expected by consumers embracing 3D images in movies, games and, soon, TVs and computers," says Robert "Buzz" Kross, senior vice president, Manufacturing Industry Group at Autodesk. "The good news is affordable 3D visualization tools that drive sales and boost margins for merchants and manufacturers are now available to give consumers what they expect."
Among the findings on 3D visualization and probable consumer behavior in a survey conducted by Infogroup's Opinion Research Corporation (ORC):
- More than 80% of consumers say online 3D images make them more likely to purchase a product.
- 65% say they would be less likely to return a product after viewing it in 3D online.
- 78% say 3D images make them "comfortable" that the product they are viewing is high quality.
- About 60% say they would be more likely to purchase if they had 3D instructions showing how to assemble and use a product.
- Though consumers say 3D makes them more likely to buy and less likely to return products, only 31% say they would pay more for a product they see in 3D online.
- Preference for 3D images online increases with income: half of those with annual incomes below $35,000 prefer 3D images of something they are interested in buying, while 70% with annual incomes of $100,000 or more prefer 3D.
- Consumers under 65 prefer viewing 3D website images of products they are interested in buying, while consumers over 65 prefer print brochures.
