Address: 14750 Cedar Av., Apple Valley
Type: Retail
Size: 9,000 square feet
Developer: Launch Properties
Architect: Mercury Studios Inc.
Details: Lakeville-based Launch Properties is seeking to demolish a 1970s-era office building on a busy corner in Apple Valley and replace it with a Portillo's Hot Dogs restaurant.
The single-story Ryan Real Estate office building stood in the southeastern quadrant of 147th Street and Cedar Avenue since 1974. Launch Properties plans to raze the structure and build a 9,000-square-foot outlet for the Chicago-based fast-casual restaurant chain.
The Apple Valley location would be Portillo's third in the Twin Cities metro, joining one in Woodbury and another approved for Maple Grove's Shoppes at Arbor Lake.
It also would join a stretch of the Cedar Avenue corridor that has developed into a restaurant row, already featuring an Applebee's, Famous Dave's BBQ, Buffalo Wild Wings, Five Guys, Pizza Hut and Osaka Seafood Steakhouse.
Launch is seeking to change the Ryan property's zoning and to gain site plan approvals for the project. The requests went before the city's planning commission in August but were tabled because of some unaddressed concerns, including the use of a temporary portable outdoor cooler.
Launch Properties principal Dan Regan told the commission that, despite the delay, he's aiming for a summer 2018 opening.

I was having sex with my boyfriend on June 14th. He continually checked the condom to see if it was still on and not broken. As he was pulling out to come I felt as if something hit my butt and vagina. Well, the condom broke! We freaked, I got Plan B: One Step 15 minutes after, and now I am playing the waiting game. I checked the scene of the event and talked to my boyfriend. He remembers that he did not ejaculate until he was fully out of me, but he saw that the tip of the condom had rolled off his tip. Most of the semen got on the sheets, and amongst the pile of the sheets with the tip of the condom that had popped off. More background…I started birth control three days (Sunday, June 1st) after my last period started (Thursday May 29th) for acne, but I also take an antibiotic for acne, too. So what are the chances of me being pregnant? I might have been overly cautious with the Plan B AND birth control, but I am highly worried. I am two days into my sugar pills and I am getting brown discharge, some blood, and I have sore breasts. No other symptoms really. I generally have a 30-day cycle, but I would have thought I would have gotten my period already.
Responses (1)
I am on tri-previfem. It's a 28-day pill pack and it's a combo pill.
So, can you help me or no?

The phrase comes from (or is paraphrased from, rather), an infamous porn clip in which a young couple are interrupted in the process of admiring their lemon tree by a "lemon whore", who is squirrelling their lemons away inside her transparent leotard. Obviously the logical conclusion is that they all have sex with each other. Hey, I didn't say it made sense.
This is the back. I was really pleased when I found the lemon-print fabric!
There's also a ribbon loop so it can be hung on a wall.

Get ready to feel ancient.
This weekend marked the celebration of 20 years of Pokemon, the video game and Anime series that captivated an entire generation and continues to grab the attention of young people today.
According to Mashable, New York City was basically geared directly towards all Pokemon fans this weekend, as an army of giant Pikachu tottered around the city in celebration.
Via Mashable:
"The Pikachu, which came to life through giant costumes that required inflation, made their way across the city, first arriving near the Brooklyn Bridge, moving to Midtown Manhattan and then ending their journey at Penn Station. The Pikachu drew a crowd, and even required a team a handlers to help them navigate in the large suits."
News was also released this weekend that new games are on the way. From the cards to the video games, Pokemon has one on the biggest and most diehard fanbases in video game culture.

Mohali, Sep 22 (PTI) Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu today urged the young to think out-of-the-box and break new ground, but not to forget the "ethical dimension" when they built up "physical, material and intellectual wealth".
India had a vast pool of human talent, he told a gathering of business students here, stressing that they were a part of the intellectual wealth of the country.
"We are also endowed with a vast array of natural resources. We have a long tradition of accepting and absorbing the best from all corners of the world," he said at the 15th edition of the Indian School of Business Leadership Summit 2017 here.
Giving a pep-talk to the young gathering, Naidu said one should ask oneself, "Can we do things differently?" and "Can we do different things simultaneously"?
"First and foremost, we must break new ground. Innovation, thinking outside-the-box and accessing knowledge from across the globe and adapting it to our countrys context would be crucial," he said at the meet, where Punjab Governor and Chandigarh Administrator V P Singh Badnore and Union minister Jayant Sinha were also present.
The vice president urged students to also keep ethics in mind.
"While you are building up the physical, material and intellectual wealth, be mindful of the ethical dimension as well," he said.
The young should not just be efficient and effective business leaders, but also look at the possibility of accelerating Indias growth through wealth creation and wealth distribution, he said.
Growing inequalities and exclusion of certain sections of the people were areas of concern, he added.
He said it was a favourable time to capitalise on the demographic dividend by "enthusing, equipping and empowering" the youths who constitute 65 per cent of the population.
The vice president said it was estimated that in order to accommodate 300 million people who will join the countrys workforce between 2010 and 2040, India needed to create roughly 10 million jobs a year.
He also said that while more than half of Indias population was poor at the time of independence, only one in five Indians were poor today.
"From a 16 per cent literacy rate in the 1950s, around 75 per cent of our population today can read and write. More than 95 per cent of children are in school. Our institutions of higher learning have produced outstanding men and women who are occupying many leadership positions across the globe," he said.
The vice president also urged people to communicate in their mother tongue. PTI SUN VSD SRY BDS SRY

The ingredients and their proportions had to change a bit to compensate.
2-3 T veggie oil $0.02
1 lb. Ground Chicken (special...) - $2.99
1/2 can Rancheros Refried Beans - $0.75
2 Yellow Onions, chopped - $0.10
1 clove garlic, minced - $0.05
1 1/2 tsp Cumin powder - $0.05
1 tsp salt - $0.01
1 tsp Chipotle Chili Pepper - $0.06
9 Hard Taco Shells - $0.84 (Ortega brand - awesome)
3 ounces cheese (2 mozz., 1 cheddar) - $0.68
9 tsp Sour Cream - $0.31
Funny Story...priceless
Instructions: Warm the oil over low heat in a nonstick skillet. Throw in the chopped onions. Cook 1 minute or so. Add the ground chicken. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees and put 1-2 T water in a small sauce pan over low heat. Cook ground chicken, adding the garlic, salt, cumin & chili pepper at this point.
|Note the lightness - there's no keeping this a secret.
Whatever veggies you'd like to throw in, prep them while the shells warm up. Chop the lettuce into little long slits and the tomatoes into little blocks; wash your cilantro, and grate your cheese (a large grate is much better than the super thin ones - that way you can taste your cheese).
Take out your taco shells. Turn off the heat. Set a paper towel into a 13x9 baking dish (metal), and stand up the shells. 9 fit perfectly going the long way. Dump a teaspoon or so of refried beans into the bottom of each shell. Don't worry about spreading it - leave it in a lump at the bottom. Don't torture yourself. Then, use a large spoon to put about a Tablespoon or more of chicken mixture into the shell. Smash down the beans, it'll spread out that way. Sprinkle a generous amount of cheese on the mixture. Set it back in the oven (heat turned off but still warm) until you're ready to eat.
Now, whatever you do, don't lose your cilantro. My cilantro was very very dirty, and there was very little left. I took off all of the good leaves, put them into the clear lid from the lettuce container, washed them, put them on a paper towel to dry...and lost them. No cilantro with dinner tonight. I must have thrown it away during the madness that is my kitchen. Perhaps it was the 7 month old climbing up the back of my legs and screaming that she would bang her head if I did not pick her up. Perhaps it was the wasp in the box of toy bricks my son brought up from the basement...I know not. To add a little salt (always add salt...) to my wound, the lettuce and tomato...were frozen. My fridge has a cold spot - the entire back of it - if you put anything anywhere near the back, it freezes. I hoped that that just meant that my frozen lettuce and tomato would be easier to chop up with my handy dandy Cutco Petit Chef's knife. It was, most certainly, easier to cut. I usually use the serrated knife for the tomato, but I didn't have to this time...I waited, and prayed for delicious vegetables to put on the top of the tacos...no go. Ice cubes, red ones. Gross. Sad day when your lettuce and tomatoes get ruined by your refrigerator. Sad day.
Delicious Tacos, though. Yea.
These tacos fed 2 adults, no kids. Stan had 2 cheese roll ups. (2 tortillas - $0.38, 2 slices American cheese $0.28+ some lettuce & tomatoes $0.15)
Total Price of Adults Meal: $5.86
Total Price of Kid's Meal: $0.81
Total Price of 2 adults, 1 child: $6.67

Every day in winter, I make up a fire in the fireplace. Without it, this house would be even colder than it is. There is a technique to getting the fire going which I have perfected over the years. You need a firelighter and some kindling. Light the firelighter, put the kindling on top and add a log or two, then close the door of the fire and leave open the little sliding thing at the bottom so that it can create some updraft. When it is all roaring merrily, you can open the door and enjoy your open fireplace. Keep adding logs.
But some days, this doesn't work very well. There are days when the wind blows in the wrong direction, or too strongly, or not strongly enough and the fire really struggles to get going. Another major cause of this is not having enough small bits of wood to get the logs to burst into flame. You need a certain amount of heat, or it just never happens. Sometimes the lack of kindling wood is caused by my own apathy: I think I can get away with the little that is already in the basket without having to freeze to death in the woodshed getting more. I am quite often wrong. And if the fire refuses to get going, it frequently just goes out. If this happens, you pretty much have to start from scratch: new firelighter, more small bits of wood, much more.
I can't help thinking of this as I attempt to market my Christmas tale, Claus and Claws, on Amazon. Not only am I responsible for writing it, I'm now responsible for selling it; no one else is going to do this job. There is no publishing house, no army of reps. Bearing in mind that I have no money and little influence, how do I go about it? Your firelighter, small in the scheme of things but hard to put out, is your circle of friends. These are people who are well-enough disposed towards you that they might even be interested in reading your book and even if they aren't, they may well download it from Amazon just to help you out. Then what you need is for them to write reviews of the book, assuming they actually read it and liked it, and stick them up on Amazon to convince the wider buying public, the logs on our fire, to actually put their hands in their pockets to buy the book.
I can't really see any other way. Yes, no doubt you can contact bloggers and book sites and suggest they review it. It's probably a good idea, but don't expect too much. For a start, they are deluged with requests, like agents, and may well not wish to meet your suggestion. Then again, how much influence do they have? It's probably not like dowsing your fire in petrol, more like adding another small piece of plywood.
So, I set out to light my fire. I organised it with Amazon Kindle (the amusing parallel in their name has only just hit me) so that the book can be free for 5 days in the first 90 it is commercialised, just so long as it is an Amazon exclusive. It seems a step too far for me that you should actually expect your friends to pay for your literary creation. Then I emailed everyone with MailChimp, having first spent hours manipulating and cleaning my database, to tell them the good news that they should download the book, read and review it. I was able to contact about 200 people who I know very well, well, or tenuously. Many of the email addresses were invalid of course – people change jobs as the years trickle by. I made similar exhortations on Facebook (I'm not that big on Facebook) and on a motorbike forum I frequent (which obviously has a limited interest in Christmas tales).
Results were far more encouraging than I expected. In the 3 days the book was free (I'm keeping the other 2 up my sleeve for nearer Christmas), the book was downloaded about 120 times. Friends were kind enough to send me words of encouragement and enthusiasm. The Ducati forum members downloaded about 20 copies – amazing. I suspect that a lot of the 120 downloads were from Amazon customers I don't even know, however tenuously. The book briefly became the No.1 "bestseller" (remember, no one had actually bought anything) on the Amazon Kindle Satire list. People left 8 reviews on Amazon.co.uk and another 2 on Amazon.com. The kindling seemed to have caught and the fire was well underway. But then, just like a straw fire, it sputtered and died. In the 2 days after the free period a week ago, I sold, for money, precisely 3 copies. And then nothing. The book has now slipped, unsurprisingly, to No. 198 on the Satire list and No. 492 in Fairly Tales. It has become, in a word, invisible. It is as if, to take a bookshop analogy, it has been removed from the window display and been returned to an anonymous bookshelf where it will only be found by someone who is actually looking for it.
It's the vicious circle: you need sales to get visibility and visibility to get sales. You need a fire already burning logs to be able to put more logs on it and keep warm. So what happens now? Well, I have reduced the price to encourage "spontaneous purchase", in other words a "what the hell" attitude amongst buyers who may happen to see it. But as no one is seeing it, this has had no effect. What I need is another firelighter and some more kindling. Unfortunately, I only have the same circle of friends and acquaintances and I've already asked them. I will now have to ask them again, which is unpleasant and will probably be like a desperate attempt to add a couple of sticks to the embers that my nascent fire has become. Unlikely to have any effect. The only upside is that on Wednesday I am due to appear on World Radio Switzerland to talk about my book for a few minutes. World Radio Switzerland is an English-language radio station that serves the principally ex-pat community in Switzerland. Will this spark my fire into life again and get the book to catch on? Who knows, but I definitely don't have a better idea.
People uninvolved in marketing have no idea how hard it is. Marketing is all about getting consumers to change their behaviour and that involves overcoming resistance. It means getting people to part with money, which they are loath to do, for a possible upside. Book marketing (not that I know anything about it, professionally) is even more problematic because you can't generate any word-of-mouth (which is the best marketing tool) until people have read the book, and that takes time. Time which a Christmas book doesn't really have. People may start to get enthusiastic about it on December 23rd, but come the 15th of January, they will be over Christmas and have moved on to something else. Dickens was already a literary superstar when A Christmas Carol was published just before Christmas 1843. His new story was news. He didn't have to start hassling his friends. I am suspecting that if Claus and Claws doesn't sell this Christmas, there is no reason why it should suddenly be super visible next Christmas unless I too have become a literary superstar in the interim. I am getting the impression that a Christmas tale is not the best thing to kickstart your literary career. It seemed like a good idea at the time…
By the way, the only reason I am writing this is that once again, I seem to find futile endeavour ironically amusing. I'm not trying to engender pity. Who's got time for that?

FINALLY! We got to enjoy warmer weather after somewhat overwhelmed by wintry muck, cold, and snow. I think the weather really got to me for the first time. Seriously.
My year has been off to a crazy start. About mid-January Dad was hospitalized and, to turn a long story into a short one, he had an aortic stent put in due to an anuerysm near his kidney/liver. There were several tests, several scares until the final diagnosis, and then there has been the recovery period. He is doing fine now which is a blessing.
Grandaddy is doing well also. During the same time Dad's health was all up in the hair, the assisted living home where Grandaddy resides was placed on quarantine due to the flu. I am sure he loved being restricted to his room. He did not have the flu, but to be safe, when they are quarantined, they have everyone just remain in their respective rooms to keep any germs from spreading.
Work is still work. Not a lot I can say since I can't be all that positive about it. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my job. My issues are not there at all, but rather with how some of the management issues are handled. I will just keep plugging away.
I am desperately trying to get organized and it should not be this hard! I am working on my scrapbook room today and realized it had been almost TWO months since I blogged. GASP! So, I thought I had better check in with the few who still may be reading and give you a very quick snapshot of what has been going on. I will try to do better in the future!

Chem-Trend Featured in Compositi Magazine
Chem-Trend was recently featured as a composites industry expert in the Italian publication, "Compositi Magazine." Below is an excerpt from the article, published in the magazine's June 2013 edition:
Specialized processing aids for the needs of high quality composites manufacture
Milan, Italy, June 2013 - The replacement of metal parts by composite materials in the areas of automotive engineering and aeorospace allows for the construction of lightweight, energy efficient vehicles, offering high fatigue and corrosion resistance. With growing demands and increasing part sizes however, manufacturers are more than ever under pressure to reduce costs, minimize scrap rates and improve the overall production processes. Processing aids as provided by a specialist such as Chem-Trend play an important part in these efforts. They also help to further reduce the overall impact on the environment and to comply with government legislations regarding VOC-emissions.
Solutions for high volume production in the automotive sector
Because of CO2 emissions and the associated climate change, lightweight design is becoming more important in automotive construction. Therefore composites and especially carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) became more commonly used in high performance cars in the last 5 to 10 years. While many release agents in the market may be acceptable for low volume production, there are few that work for high volume production, the release agent application and the mould cleaning frequency being the bottle neck for the overall process. Manufacturers of automotive components should rely on a specialist who offers a complete portfolio of dedicated products for the respective production process. Chem-Trend for example is able to provide solvent based as well as water based complete release agent systems for RTM and press moulding processes, comprising mold primers, sealers, internal and external release agents, as well as ancillary products like mold cleaners. This allows high volume automotive composite manufacturers to keep their mold in production, making high quality parts for the long production runs needed to meet demand.
Thermoplastic composites increasing presence in Aerospace sector
Lightweight design in aerospace components is a trend to reduce aircraft weight and achieve fuel savings. While in 1982 only 8 percent of the materials used in the Airbus A 130 were composites, these numbers recently increased to up to 50 percent in the Airbus A 350 and the Boeing 787. Typical molded materials are PEEK (polyetheretherketon), PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) and PEI (polyetherimide). However, thermoplastic composites are demanding in terms of release requirements. Today not only specialized release agents for processing PPS and PEEK are available, but also complete release agent systems for high temperature molding processes as well as water based solutions, replacing the traditional solvent based systems.
Automated solutions in mold release preparation
The manufacturing of a composite part begins with the tooling, whose complexity and investment increase drastically with the increasing of part size. The increasing of automatization process like AFP (Automated Fibre Placement) or ATL (Automated Tape Laying) requires to find automated solutions in mold release preparation. Specialists such as Chem-Trend provide fully adjustable sprayable products to cope with the automatization requirements. Also available are semi permanent mold release systems as well as solutions for the preparation and protection of composite and metal molds.
In the development and manufacture of new composite components it pays off to consult with a specialist for processing aids early. This can help to increase the efficiency of the production process, reduce scrap, and lower overall costs.

If you've been to the Flower Show in recent years, you likely remember the Meadowbrook Farm Store located in the center of the Show floor. Good news, the store is returning, and this year there's even more of the stuff you love.
All week the Meadowbrook team has been setting up the satellite sales location, lining the shelves with Meadowbrook merchandise. This includes—but by no means is limited to—painted watering cans, mossy ceramic planters, French vases with fleur di lis, baskets, candles, and soaps.
As for the plants, Meadowbrook will offer beautiful specimens for beginners and hard-core horticulturists alike. The always popular herbs will be back in a big way. Also of note are terrariums, potted hens-and-chicks (seen here), ferns, and topiary.
If fragrance is your focus, check out the violets and jasmine. And if you were intrigued by the Irish primrose mentioned here last week, take note: Meadowbrook is the only place on the Show floor to sell them. Thanks, Burpee Seed Company, for making that happen!
See you at the Meadowbrook Farm Store!

Where do we begin? The best place to start would probably be Otakon 2014 where we all came together for the first time. Kuritare and Lilitare were friends from school. They planned to cosplay together for the first time at Otakon as Rin and Hanayo from Love Live! Kuritare and Rintare were childhood friends and thought Rintare would like to come to Otakon so he invited her along (for her first con!). Rintare went as Shiro from No Game No Life. During this con, we stayed in Lilitare's tiny nearby dorm and every morning was a hectic struggle to get ready! Lilitare and Rintare became fast friends, it was love at first sight (= 3=) / ♥
"This is where Lili sucked me into the Love Live trash life." -Rintare
After Otakon, we became great friends who had a lot to talk about with each other because of our common interests like anime/manga, videogames, and cosplaying. So later that year, we decided to go to Anime USA together. At this time, we weren't too serious about our cosplaying and just decided to go as Rin, Hanayo, and Maki in practice clothes. We had a lot of fun at this small con and were excited when people recognized us!
|A potato quality picture of us with cute paws!
This brings us to the strange picture of chicken nuggets at the top! So, while we were at AUSA we did lots of fun stuff like play all the arcade games, sing karaoke, meet Steve Blum, and go to panels (our favorite was Dansu To Pansu!). We also went to the host club to see what that was all about... We were really hungry so we wanted to order some food, but everything was really expensive so we just ordered some french fries. Turns out these fries came with some godly dipping sauces, so we asked for extra sauces and smuggled them out to use them at McDonald's across the street where we could afford food.
After this con, we decided to stick together and cosplay together so that we would always have each other as support in our cosplay endeavors! Our name comes from a loose translation of "sauce" in Japanese, which is "tare"! Since there's three of us, we went with taretaretare, with each of us being a "sauce". This was the official beginning of taretaretare.

Hinton & Bailey LLP
Healthcare Fraud
Health Care Fraud Legal Defense Team Serving Houston and the Surrounding Area
Hinton & Bailey is a Texas law firm providing health care fraud defense to clients in Houston, Texas and the surrounding areas. Many of our attorneys have previous experience as health care auditors and as health care fraud prosecutors with the Department of Justice. Our clients gain valuable insight for their health care fraud defense cases.
The Definition of Health Care Fraud
Health care fraud can be defined as an attempt to receive reimbursement from a federal government health care program for medical services or equipment. Federal health care programs include Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, or federal workers' compensation. It includes at least one of the following elements:
- Violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute – Federal health care law prohibits receiving money or other valuables in exchange for patient referrals. Any person (including doctors, marketing professionals, and business owners) may be prosecuted for violating the Anti-Kickback statute for offering or providing payment or other valuables in exchange for patient referrals.
- Violation of Stark Law – This is also referred to as the Self-Referral Law. It prohibits doctors from referring patients to certain health care service entities if the doctor or a member of the doctor's immediate family has an ownership or investment interest in it, or if there is some compensation arrangement. There are statutory exceptions to this law.
- Violation of the False Claims Act – If you submit a claim to a federal health care program, you must ensure that your claim is accurate. Otherwise, it is a violation of the False Claims Act. The federal government may begin an investigation into your billing practices under the criminal provisions of this act.
- Prescription Fraud – The federal government watches health care practices that prescribe an unusually high number of narcotics. If you're suspected of running a "pill mill," you may be investigated for insurance fraud and for violating DEA dispensing rules.
- Billing Fraud – One of the most common instances of billing fraud is when claims are upcoded. Upcoding means that the next higher code is used when the federal government is billed. The federal government also investigates phantom billing (billing for services that were not provided), ghost patients (billing for patients who don't exist), and billing for services or equipment that aren't medically necessary.
- Certification Errors – The federal government pays close attention to the home health care and hospice industry. One of the most common allegations includes fraudulent certifications for care.
What Are the Penalties of Health Care Fraud?
Health care fraud is extremely serious. An allegation could be civil or criminal. Both include severe penalties. Civil penalties include repayment of claims, non-payment of future claims, and you may be excluded from federal health care programs. You may also face your state disciplinary board and lose your license or hospital privileges.
Criminal penalties can include fines in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, a criminal record, or even federal prison time.
Federal prison time can be sentenced as:
- Up to 10 years for each count of health care fraud
- Up to 20 years for each count of fraud that resulted in serious bodily injury to the patient
- Life sentence if the health care fraud resulted in the death of a patient.
Often, we're asked about the worst-case scenario for health care fraud in Houston, Texas. Facing criminal charges or a prison sentence will depend on several factors, including the severity of an injury suffered by a patient, whether the prosecutor is interested in pursuing criminal charges, and the reason why the federal government initiated the investigation. If you're being investigated for health care fraud, contact the Hinton & Bailey today. Initial consultations are free of charge and confidential.
Health Care Fraud Defense
Immediate legal advocacy. Our main objective for each Houston, Texas client is to help them avoid criminal charges. Experience has taught us that the best way to advocate for our clients against the possibility of criminal prosecution is to immediately contact the federal government. This gets answers to important questions, and also stops the government from having much uninterrupted time to investigate you. We work to protect your freedom and your career. Usually, we get answers to the most important questions within just a few hours:
- What is the investigation about?
- What is the purpose of it?
- How long will the investigation take?
- What is the most likely outcome?
Testing Constitutional standards. The U.S. Constitution has a high standard of proof that requires the federal government to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you committed a crime. It must also prove that you acted with criminal intent. In cases where criminal charges may be brought, we test these standards. The federal government will often try to use billing inaccuracies to prove that you acted with criminal intent. Hinton & Bailey has learned from experience that mistakes happen by our clients. Those mistakes should not equate to being treated like a criminal. We have provided successful legal defense for clients across the United States by proving that the inaccuracies are a result of human or organizational error, and were not a result of criminal intent. We've noted that the use of unqualified workers, delegation errors, outsourcing errors, lack of oversight, insufficient supervision, and the constantly changing laws and rules that are involved in health care are the most common errors that cause these investigations. Although these issues should be corrected, they should not lead to criminal liability.
The use of strategic health care fraud defense. Hinton & Bailey has substantial experience in developing strategic defenses. Many of our cases were successful because of statutory loopholes and exceptions. For instance, in the context of Stark Law which involves medical necessity certifications, we've been able to use exceptions to either mitigate or entirely resolve a health care fraud case.
Defending your professional reputation. Hinton & Bailey is committed to more than health care fraud defense. We're also fully committed to defending your professional reputation. Allegations of health care fraud can be extremely damaging. Many of our clients are concerned about how these allegations may affect their future. The media has a lot of power. Your reputation could be destroyed by rumors spread by the media. Our attorneys routinely address concerns about slander, and book news spots and other opportunities to correct misinformation about our clients.
Hinton & Bailey has helped clients across the country who were accused of health care fraud. Call us today at 713-864-4477 to learn more about your legal options.

An Inmate's Everyday Life will Improve with Securus Technology
Do you know how tough it is to serve out a prison sentence? I do. Let me tell you, prison is a terrible place to be. It is hard for many different types of reasons. However, one of the hardest things about being incarcerated has to do with family. When you are locked away in jail you do not have access to the people you love and that is difficult.
When I was in jail we had to make collect calls to keep in touch with family members. Collect calls were expensive and it also depended on the person answering the phone. If they decided not to accept the call, an inmate was out of luck.
Recently I found out about Securus Visitation Video Technology. I was really surprised by what I have discovered. People can not only talk to each other over a terminal they can also see each other. Fathers can talk to their sons and help keep them on the right path. Mothers can help their daughters to grow and family members can keep in touch with their incarcerated loved ones.
I mean, if we had this technology years ago when I was in jail, I honestly believe a few more people would not have went back to prison after being released.
After all, if an inmate has a reason to do good, chances are they will do the right thing to help improve their life.
The modern technology that is available for this purpose makes it easier on everyone serving time. I would just like to say that Securus is providing high quality communication services that is really helping inmates and their families to thrive. You can click the following link to find out more about Securus and what they have to offer.

The farthest skies
Its wings naturally contract,
necessarily, yet that great
and faithless bird invariably
laments a calamitous plummet,
predicts its own doom
from the grand heights,
ever astonished to witness,
following panic,
the wings unfold anew,
catch the air beneath
and keep itself tremblingly aloft;
ultimate extension requiring
an essential recouping,
the gathering of vital resistance
used to climb the farthest skies
and yet, through lack of faith, perpetually,
fear and suffering accompany
its fateful, solitary and majestic flight.
O child of God, hold on tightly.
You're just along for the ride.

Hello Kitty!
Less is More has a one layer "Fur or Feathers" challenge. I decided to skip the feathers this week and go for the fur. It's tricky to make a 1 layer card but I thought it would work with all the details in the beautiful cat stamp. Of course I had to give it a little color with my Twinkling H2O's. I wish I had a cat with gorgeous green eyes like this!

Fast forward to 12 months after, I never knew setting a theme would really make an impact on my year. I just kept traveling and surprisingly, I went to 7 provinces for 2016! Something I never saw coming but I'm happy that I really lived the year of 2016 according to the theme I set. I learned a lot. I discovered something I never knew about myself before. And one of the most precious gifts traveling could give, is the gift of making new friends. So to give back from everything I've learned, let me share with you guys where I've been the whole year of 2016:
|Ready to crash with the waves!
|*hearts* for Baler Squad
|Different shades of Blue in Capones Island
|Nokia Batchmates in Anawangin!
|The view atop Mt. Anawangin is breathless!

Overview of GPS Antennas
GPS is the terminal that locates or navigates by accepting satellite signals. And the reception of the signal must be used to the antenna. GPS satellite signals are divided into L1 and L2, the frequency of 1575.42MHZ and 1228MHZ respectively, which L1 for the open civilian signal, the signal is circular polarization. The signal strength is 166-DBM or so, belonging to the weaker signal. These characteristics determine the need to prepare special antennas for the reception of GPS signals.
Classification of GPS Antennas
1, the GPS antenna from the polarization mode is divided into vertical plan and circular polarization. With the current technology, the effect of vertical polarization is not comparable to circular polarization. Therefore, in addition to the special case, the general GPS antenna will adopt circular polarization.
2, from the placement of the GPS antenna into the built-in antenna and external antenna.
The assembling position of the antenna is also very important. The early GPS hand-held machine adopts the valgus antenna, at this time the antenna and the whole internal basic isolation, EMI is almost not the impact of the star, the effect is very good. Now with the miniaturization of the trend, the GPS antenna more built-in. At this point the antenna must be in all metal devices, the shell must be electroplating and good grounding, away from EMI interference sources, such as CPU, SDRAM, SD card, crystal oscillator, DC/C.
The application of on-board GPs will become more and more common. The car's enclosure, especially the automobile explosion-proof membrane will be the GPS signal to have serious obstruction. An external antenna with magnets (which can absorb the roof) is very necessary for on-board GPS.
Construction of GPS antenna
At present, most GPS antennas are right-polarized ceramic media, the components are: ceramic antenna, low noise signal module, cable, connector. The ceramic antenna is also called passive antenna, dielectric antenna, PCTAH, it is the core of GPS antenna technology. The signal acceptance ability of a GPS antenna depends largely on the ingredients of its ceramics.
The low noise signal module is also called LNA, which is the part of amplifying and filtering signals. The selection of components is also important, otherwise it will increase the reflection loss of GPS signals, and causing excessive noise. The selection of cables should also be used to reduce reflection as the standard, to ensure the matching impedance.

Hyperbaric oxygen in CO poisoning
Q; What is the role of hyberbaric oxygen in the management of lethal Carbon-monoxide (CO) poisoning ?
A; It decreases the half life of CO from 5 hours to half hour and so the possible complications. It prevents lipid peroxidation in the brain and preserve ATP levels in tissue exposed to carbon monoxide. It has shown to decrease the cognitive sequelae by 46 % when compared with 'normobaric' group at 6 weeks 2.
Limitations: Hyperbaric oxygen in CO poisoning has its own limitations. It may induce "hyperoxic" seizures (rare) 3. Other adverse effects of hyperbaric oxygen includes reversible myopia, rupture of the middle ear, barotrauma to lungs 4. Hyperbaric oxygen should be reserved for lethal cases of CO poisoning.
Alternate: If hyperbaric oxygen is not available, apply 100% oxygen, high PEEP and if needed high-frequency ventilation. 100% O2 reduces half life of CO effectively to about one and half hour.

Theoretical backing The output hypothesis (Swain, M. 1985, 1993) The noticing hypothesis (Schmidt, 1990)) Motivation (Dörnyei, Z. 1994, Gardner, R. 1985)
Output Three functions of output in second language learning: - hypothesis testing - hypothesis testing - negotiating meaning - negotiating meaning - noticing the gap - noticing the gap
Noticing Paying attention to input is effective in incidental learning. Noticing and attending to a linguistic feature in the input have facilitative effects for conscious understanding. Noticing the gap between what the learner can say and what he wants to say.

AUGUSTA, Georgia – Patrick Reed delivered an overwhelming performance under difficult conditions to seize a two-stroke lead after Friday's second round of the Masters, while Tiger Woods struggled but made the cut.
Reed, who shared second in last year's PGA Championship, opened and closed the front nine with runs of three consecutive birdies, and then ran off another birdie treble on the back nine in shooting 6-under par 66 to stand on 9-under 135 after 36 holes at Augusta National.
"I just kind of kept myself out of trouble and let my putter do all the work," Reed said. "I put it in the right spots so I could be aggressive with the putter."
Reed's only other 36-hole lead was at the 2015 US Open.
"I've been in this kind of position before," Reed said. "It's just another day at the golf course."
World number 24 Reed is the only player since Ernie Els in 2015 to shoot birdie or better on all four of Augusta's par-5 holes in each of the first two days.
Australian Marc Leishman was second on 137 after shooting 67, with Sweden's Henrik Stenson third on 139.
Either Reed, ranked 24th, or 16th-rated Leishman would be the fourth consecutive first-time major winner to capture the Green Jacket.
Woods, a 14-time major champion playing his first Masters since 2015 following spinal fusion surgery, fired a 3-over 75, but reached the weekend on 4-over 148, delighting fans who stood 10-deep for a glimpse of the legend, whose last major win came at the 2008 US Open.
"It was about six months ago I didn't know if I was going to play again," Woods said. "I'm incredibly thankful to have this opportunity to play golf again. I missed it, and now I'm glad to be a part of it."

At age 42, the four-time Masters winner revived "Tigermania" with two top-five PGA tune-up finishes after years of injury struggles, but has been humbled so far at formidable Augusta National.
"I didn't hit my irons very good at all," Woods said. "I hit so many beautiful putts. Nothing went in."
The 7 435-yard layout tormented many as confusing winds and lightning-fast greens took a toll.
Rory McIlroy, chasing a career Grand Slam with a Masters victory, and 2015 Masters champion Jordan Spieth shared fourth on 140.
McIlroy shot a 71, while first-day leader Spieth came in with a 74.
"It's so tricky," McIlroy said. "The wind should be south-southwest, but every hole you get on, it's coming from a different direction. The wind swirls in these big tall trees."
Top-ranked Dustin Johnson and 2017 PGA Championship winner Justin Thomas were on 141. Thomas would overtake Johnson for number one with a victory on Sunday.
More winds and cooler conditions are expected on Saturday, along with rain. "It looks like just grinding out par on the weekend out here," Spieth said.

Reed, an American college champion at nearby Augusta State, never cracked 70 at Augusta until Thursday's 69, but he made up for lost time, even though all three birdie hat tricks were followed with bogeys.
"I got a lot more comfortable with the course throughout the years," Reed said. "I'm keeping myself in areas where even if I miss greens, I can get up and down."
Woods opened with a bogey and took double bogey at the fifth, his approach soaring over the green into dense brush.
He plunked his tee shot at the par-3 12th into Rae's Creek, his bogey dropping him to the 5-over cut line.
Woods became the last pro in the field to make a birdie or better at a par-5 hole by two-putting for birdies from 40 feet at 13 and 35 feet at 15.
He made bogey at 16, but two closing pars kept him in for the weekend.
This weekend, someone's dreams are going to come true. #themasters pic.twitter.com/uRBsuzFbmC
