Texas False Claims Act Violations Lawyer - Oberheiden, P.C.
If you’re a health care practitioner, a facility, or health care business in Texas, you face an increased risk of being investigated and prosecuted for violating the False Claims Act. The Oberheiden, P.C. is a health care fraud defense law firm serving Texas. Harvard-trained Dr. Nick Oberheiden is the managing principal lawyer who assists clients throughout Texas. Lynette Byrd is also a former federal prosecutor. Ms. Byrd formerly prosecuted violations of the False Claims Act, health care fraud, violations of Stark Law, and Anti-Kickback Statute violations.
The federal government investigates suspected violations of the False Claims Act throughout the entire United States. Yet, there are nine areas within the nation that the government pays particular attention to, and Texas is one of those nine areas. This is because Texas has a large number of people who are recipients of federal health care: Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and federal workers’ compensation. When there are a large number of people using these programs, more claims are filed by health care providers and businesses. This leads the government to believe that there may be a higher instance of violations of the False Claims Act. The Department of Justice announced released information about the number of investigations performed in 2016. The investigated more than 300 allegations and recovered more than $900 million in illegally paid out funds.
The State of Texas is monitored by the Medicare Fraud Strike Force. The job of this federal task force is to watch for, investigate, and prosecute violations of the False Claims Act. This task force is comprised of investigators and prosecutors from several federal agencies including the IRS, the DEA, DOJ, DOD, FBI, OIG, and the Department of Health and Human Services.
If you’re in Texas and you’re being investigated for an alleged violation of the False Claims Act, call Oberheiden, P.C. immediately to speak with an experienced health care fraud defense attorney.
The False Claims Act is a federal statute that is applicable to any person or business who has direct or indirect contracts with and will be paid by the federal government on federal health care claims. The law creates legal liability for individuals, contractors, businesses, or organizations who knowingly submit or who causes the submission of a false claim for approval and payment by the federal government.
You may have noticed the use of the word ‘knowingly.’ In this instance, it isn’t just about actually knowing. It means that if you didn’t have actual knowledge, you should have known because as a health care provider or entity, you should have known that whatever was being filed would be a violation of the False Claims Act. It’s a matter of due diligence. For instance, if you hire someone to perform your medical coding, it is your responsibility to know that the correct codes are used.
Texas health care providers, entities, and businesses who are charged with False Claims Act violations can face civil and criminal penalties. You may not immediately know whether you’re being investigated for civil or criminal charges. Defense lawyers at Oberheiden, P.C. can help you by getting you the answers that you need.
Civil penalties can include being ordered to pay treble damages, payment of fines of up to $11,000 per false claim, recoupment requests, future exclusion from federal health care programs, and having future claims denied. You could even face state disciplinary or licensing action or lose your hospital privileges. Criminal penalties include fines in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, criminal indictment, and possible federal imprisonment.
In Texas, most False Claims Act investigations are a result of a qui tam lawsuit. Qui tam lawsuits originated with good intentions. It was initially a way for private citizens to help the government recoup money that was fraudulently paid out. However, they are often filed by angry former employees and jealous competitors who just want to hurt your business.
Qui tam is a Latin phrase that means “he who sues for the king and himself.” Qui tam plaintiffs are known as “qui tam relators.” These lawsuits are filed in Texas federal district courts and they are sealed to protect the identity of the plaintiff. Only the assigned judge and the appropriate federal officials receive unsealed copies. If the qui tam lawsuit is successful, the plaintiff will be rewarded either 25 or 30 percent of the recovered money.
Qui tam lawsuits are turned over to the government for review and investigation. Because this process can take quite a while, extensions are routinely filed and granted in federal court. This allows the government to have all of the time that they need to investigate the suit and decide whether or not they will support the allegations.
During the investigation, you’ll receive subpoenas requesting your communications, financial, billing, and corporate records. These requests can come from multiple agencies including the DOD, DEA, DOJ, FBI, OIG, and IRS. However, that’s not an all-inclusive list.
After the government reviews your records, it will decide whether it will reject that qui tam lawsuit or support it. Just because the government rejects the qui tam lawsuit doesn’t mean it’s over. The plaintiff still has the option to continue the suit. If they win without the support of the government, the plaintiff will receive 30 percent of the recovered funds as a reward.
If the government decides to support the qui tam suit, this is known as intervention. You will likely face additional charges. If the qui tam lawsuit is successful, the plaintiff will be given 25 percent of the recovered amount as a reward.
When you’re notified of a False Claims Act investigation or qui tam lawsuit, you should immediately call Oberheiden, P.C. to discuss your case. We can contact the investigating bodies and work to negotiate a settlement on your behalf. The length of time each case takes is dependent upon many factors. Call us now to discuss your case.
Oberheiden, P.C. utilizes three core principles to assist our Texas clients. These principles were developed out of the combination of our federal prosecutorial and defense experience. We’ve successfully used these principles to represent health care practitioners, entities, and businesses throughout the United States.
First and foremost, our goal is to minimize the likelihood of criminal charges for our Texas clients. We get into contact with investigating officials early in the process to get answers about the purpose of the investigation and the type of charges you may be facing. We’ll also ask how the investigation can be resolved. Usually, we’re able to get the answers to these questions within the first few days of engagement.
For Texas qui tam lawsuits, our goal is to prove to the government that the allegations made against you are meritless, and that it should not support the claims. We work to disparage the credibility of the evidence and the plaintiff.
Where civil liability is present, we will negotiate with the federal government on your behalf. In other cases, we’ve been able to negotiate the original damage amount down to a small percentage. To date, none of our False Claims Act clients had to close their practice or business.
Oberheiden, P.C. has successfully represented clients in Texas and nationwide. We’ve represented nurses, doctors, clinics, hospitals, practice owners, physician owned entities, labs, pharmacies, and other health care businesses accused of violating the False Claims Act, involved in qui tam lawsuits, being investigated for violating the Anti-Kickback Statute, violating Stark Law, or Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare of Department of Labor investigations.
If you’re in Texas and being investigated for violating the False Claims Act, call Oberheiden, P.C. immediately. Initial consultations are confidential and free.

The dream of every citizen of the country is to have an independent roof over their head. However, the realization of this dream, which is a necessity too, is not easy at all, given the skyrocketing prices of land and the rate of inflation. Though every middle-class person has to face this hardship, yet it is most challenging and demanding on the economically weaker sections of the society. This situation is more drastic and grim in Metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai or Bangalore.
A suitable home loan provider in Delhi can provide you with easy home loans. Since these loans are available at varying interest rates, from various financial agencies, it will be advisable and beneficial for the buyers to know and compare them, and choose from the best home loans available before purchasing a house. A piece of more heartening news is that the internet has made it possible to apply for a home loan online. So, now you can buy your dream house with some comfort and ease by evaluating various home loans and its rates in Delhi. However, if your budget does not permit you to look at these options, Pradhan MantriAwasYojana is ideal for you.
This is a Credit-Linked Subsidy Scheme (CLSS) for Middle Income Group (MIG). The scheme is applicable for MIG-I and MIG- II category house aspirants. MIG-I category of houses is for those whose annual income is between Rs.6 Lakhs-12 Lakhs. MIG-II category of houses is for those whose annual income falls between Rs. 12 Lakhs -18 Lakhs.
Dwelling Unit Carpet Area 160 Sq. mt. 200 Sq. mt.
a). Since the goal of the scheme is to provide affordable houses to the economic weaker income groups of the society to the maximum, any person owning a house is ineligible. Similarly, even if one of their family members own a house in their name, cannot apply under this scheme.
b) For the selection in this scheme the family should not own a pukka house or the beneficiary should have not availed of any assistance under any housing scheme of the central government. A beneficiary’s family will include husband, wife, unmarried sons and unmarried daughters.
c) Beneficiary family members should also give their Aadhaar numbers in order to apply for the loan.
d) A member who is earning, (irrespective of marital status) can be treated as an independent house.
e) A married couple who lives on rent, even if their parents own a home, will be treated as a separate household. However, they will be eligible for a single house, bought by either of the spouses separately or jointly.
For MIG – I category of households, individuals can get 4 percent interest subsidy on a loan not exceeding Rs.9 lakh. However, under the MIG – II category individuals will get a 3 percent subsidy on a loan not exceeding Rs.12 lakh. In case, you require an additional loan, the lender will provide it but the additional amount beyond the subsidized loan will be at a non-subsidized rate.
Amount of interest subsidy will not be calculated as the differential of interest amount (of actual and subsided rate) but it will be the Net Present Value (NPV) of the amount of interest subsidy. Further, it should be calculated at a discount rate of 9 percent. For the calculation of NPV, you will need the loan’s amortization schedule because the interest portion of each equated monthly installment (EMI) has to be taken into account. The calculated interest subsidy will then directly transferred to the beneficiary’s bank account. The carpet area of the house is eligible for interest subsidy under MIG-Category has been isolated to be increased from 120 square meter to160 square meter, and, in respect of MIG-II from 150 square meters to 200 square meters.
Various State Cooperative Banks, Urban Cooperative Banks, Small Finance Banks, Non-Banking Financial Company, Scheduled Commercial Banks, Housing Finance Companies, Regional Rural Banks etc.can be approached to apply for the loan with relevant documents.
The scheme has managed to provide economic relief to the tune of 2.3-2.35 lakhs, to those middle-class families whose financial constraints cannot bear the attack of inflation but still wants to live a happy life together under one roof. Though there is definitely some scope to improve the scheme, it is proving to be an effective tool in bringing economic relief and justice to the financially weaker sections of the society. Therefore, more such welfare schemes are the need of the hour and are required to fight economic disparity, paving the way for a happy and prosperous nation.

The relative role of economic growth vis-a-vis public action in raising living standards in developing countries has been a point of contention for quite some time now. The arguments on both sides are usually based on some estimated relationship between indicators of living standard and other variables. A critical review of the existing studies throws up some methodological issues among which misspecification of the model is most crucial. An alternative approach, viz. the nonparametric regression method, has been shown to be superior in taking care of this problem. Analysing the data for 88 developing countries we note that per capita income has positive significant effect on the life-expectancy at birth. However, we have not observed any relationship between the improvement in life-expectancy and change in income as well as the level of income, unlike some earlier studies. This study has the implication that well-targeted public policies may be successful in improving the standard of living in poor economies in the short-term. But for sustainability in the long-term, growth-based strategies are necessary.

We are writing to inform you that the University System of Maryland (USM) Board of Regents today approved an innovative and structured collaboration between the University of Maryland, College Park (UMCP) and the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) called the University of Maryland: MPowering the State.
We are confident that this new collaboration between the state's flagship and founding campuses will benefit both institutions, USM, and the state of Maryland. The new working relationship will leverage the resources of these two great universities to serve students better; attract even more exceptional faculty and researchers; and boost research, technology transfer and commercialization. This, in turn, will allow USM to better address Maryland's workforce needs and for UMCP and UMB to attract more research funding to the state.
—Establishing University of Maryland Ventures to promote technology transfer and commercialization, taking discoveries and innovations from the campus laboratories to the marketplace.
—Combining the research efforts at the Institute for Bioscience and Biotechnology Research—a joint UMB-UMCP institute—at the Universities at Shady Grove (USG) in Montgomery County with new educational programs in health, law, human services and STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), business, and the social sciences. USG is one of the university system's two higher education regional centers.
—Creating a Collaborative School of Public Health resulting from combining the Master of Public Health (MPH) Program at UMCP and the MPH Program in Baltimore.
—Development of new educational offerings and activities including the University of Maryland Scholars Program, through which students from each institution will engage in research led by faculty at the other institution.
—Implementation of a process to facilitate joint appointments and joint grant submissions.
This new collaboration will be led initially by a steering committee, appointed by and reporting to the UMCP and UMB presidents, who in turn will be accountable to the USM chancellor and Board of Regents for the success of the collaborative activities. Implementation of the plan, which begins immediately, will require investment of funds from a variety of sources.
The Board of Regents on December 9, 2011, charged us with developing the plan for this new collaboration between UMB and UMCP. That board action resulted from a comprehensive six-month study of the advantages and disadvantages of merging the two universities in response to a Maryland Joint Chairmen's directive. Based on the study, the board concluded that a structured collaboration between UMB and UMCP would yield more success than a merger.
This new alliance—University of Maryland: MPowering the State—provides a strong framework for UMCP and UMB to work together in powerful new ways that will advance institutions, USM, our state and nation during these globally competitive and fiscally challenging times.

There is a global demand for leadership and engagement on issues related to energy, the environment and human systems. Universities play a central role in addressing these issues because they generate knowledge and technology and house deep and varied expertise. Universities are also where future leaders who will shape society are trained.
Our center is based not on the traditional definitions of environment and environmentalism from the last half-century, but rather one that looks forward to the next 50 years. Our research and scholarly activities are focused on trans–disciplinary solutions.
We effect change through our work; we focus on taking knowledge and technology from the lab and the classroom out into society. This requires not only basic research, but also identifying the tools—enterprise, policy, education, marketing, the arts—that turn ideas into action.
The CEES faculty are committed to working towards a sustainable future through our research and public engagement, holding leadership roles not only in academia, but also in governments, non-profits, and corporations here at home and across the globe.

Can a Muslim and a Christian pray together? This is an important question that one has to deal with in his or her mission of Christian/Muslim relations. In the pluralistic world, one cannot completely avoid any level of participation in the worship of the Other. The immediate danger that many Catholic theologians apprehend in such participation is the danger of syncretism. This question becomes theologically nuanced when it has to deal with Christians and Muslims praying together. This article suggests that it is not only possible that Christians and Muslims can pray to one God together, but also, that the aforesaid praying together is essential and should be encouraged.
Christians and Muslims should recognize that, first of all, they worship but one God. They address their prayers to one God in whom both Christians and Muslims place their faith and commit themselves to bend their own wills to the will of the one and the only God. Pope Paul VI affirmed that Muslims are true adorers of the one one God when he wrote: "Then to adorers of God, according to the conception of monotheism, the Muslim religion, especially, is deserving of our admiration for all that is true and good in its . . . worship of God" (Ecclesiam Suam 106).
Nevertheless, one should not forget the considerable differences between the Christian and Muslim confession of God's unity. The unity of God as a common element between Christians and Muslims needs to be approached carefully for, when Christians talk about God, they talk about one who, "is known and worshiped as Father, Son and Spirit." Muslims do not accept this Trinitarian understanding of God. Accordingly, the fundamental differences in their understanding of the Godhead should be recognized for the recognition of differences is an expression of mutual respect.
If one relativizes differences, then the significance of the concept of difference will be undervalued. However, differences do not do away with the meaning that one can experience in depth in the encountering of one another. Christians should be aware that Muslim prayer is directed towards the living God, and that the Islamic faith has raised, over the centuries, true worshipers of the one God. Christians must also realize that the God of Muslims is not an idol, not a creature, not a lofty idea, but the God in whom Christians also believe.
The faith of Christians and Muslims in one God, and prayer to that one God, allow for an encounter in faith, standing before God in a real way. This standing together helps Christians and Muslims in that it is God who is binding them together, and the encounter between them is God's gift. This encounter helps Christians and Muslims to live their profound differences in mutual respect. When Christians and Muslims seek to live their relationship with God in such a conscientious way, they are together with their differences, and, thus, they become brothers and sisters. Pope John Paul II stresses this in his address to Muslims in the Philippines when he told them: "I deliberately added you as brothers . . . [for] that is certainly what we are, . . . members of the same family, whose efforts, whether people realize it or not, tend toward God and the truth that comes from him. But we are especially brothers in God, who created us and whom we are trying to reach, in our own ways, through faith, prayer and worship, through the keeping of his law and through submission to his designs."
Every authentic prayer binds Christians and Muslims. Such prayer guides them toward living in peace. The spiritual efforts of Muslim brothers and sisters do not leave the hearts of their Christian brothers and sisters unmoved since they stand together before one God. Furthermore, every authentic prayer is under the influence of the Spirit of God who constantly intercedes for humanity (Romans 8:26-27). Christians and Muslims standing together and praying authentically according to their traditions are moving toward living together in peace. One should not hinder a Christian who is exploring with Muslims the togetherness in prayer. And, conversely, one should not impede a Muslim who is exploring this self-same togetherness in prayer with Christians.

In 2013, I joined Team In Training to honor the memory of my parents, John and Shirley – I lost both of them to lung cancer. Even though I didn't have a direct link to blood cancers, I choose to fundraise for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) because they invest in groundbreaking research that can help lead to treatments for others cancers and diseases as well.
My first season with Team In Training was incredible on many levels. I met some amazing people, learned about the impact LLS has had on cancer, and ran my very first half marathon, which happened to be on the same day as my parent’s anniversary. At first, I was terrified to ask people for money, but I ended up raising $7,000 and went from having no direct connections to blood cancer to many. I learned that I can make a difference.
Initially, I didn’t plan to participate in more than one event but since then, I have run three more half marathons, two full marathons, a century ride, two Olympic triathlons, and a half Ironman Triathlon. Lavaman 2018 will be my third Olympic distance triathlon and then I'll begin training for my twelfth Team In Training event, Ironman Chattanooga, which is on my mom’s birthday.
I come back each season for the people who are currently battling and those who we have lost. I have met people who are living now because of the people who came before me, raised money, and funded the treatments that enabled those honorees to survive. I’m not a doctor or scientist but I can swim, bike, run, and raise money. The money needed to fund research for cures and provide services to patients and their families. I will continue to do events as long as I can, or until we find the cures we need. I want a world without cancer.

In this episode, I speak with author, speaker and self-described science enthusiast Idil Ahmed. You may know her from her massive social media presence (@idillionaire) on Instagram and Twitter, where she shares many inspiring and uplifting messages.
Indeed, Instagram is where Idil and I first connected a few years back and we have supported each other on our respective journeys ever since. I’m a big fan of her mission to raise global consciousness and I've shared her writings on my page many times over the years.
She's written a new and long-awaited book called Manifest Now, which is all about guiding you through the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of creating the life you want. In this conversation, I talk with her about some of the main principles and ideas in that book.
Registration for the next Mindset Shifts Masterclass is open from September 3rd through September 10th.
What is the Mindset Shifts Masterclass?
If you study human psychology long enough, you realize that the root cause of most of our negative emotions are certain stories, beliefs, and assumptions we've acquired throughout our lives. These thoughts cause our perceptions to become distorted and lead us to act in ways we don't like. In order to find clarity and peace in our lives, we need to identify these mental patterns and change them, reframe them, or replace them.
For years, I've been interested in the best ways to accomplish this. Turns out there are a variety of tools available, including Stoic philosophy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which are two of my favorites.
The Mindset Shifts Masterclass is a 6-week course I created that distills and simplifies many of the strategies I've learned over the years from a variety of different fields and philosophies. It's designed to help you let go of the stories that are holding you back, cultivate a mindset that helps you grow, and reprogram your mind for success. You can learn more here.
If you want a taste of what the Masterclass is all about before jumping right into it, feel free to try out my free mini-course first. You'll get seven days worth of simple strategies emailed to you over the course of a week to help you get unstuck and find more clarity and purpose in your life.
Note: The free mini-course is available year round but the Masterclass only opens a few times a year. Registration for this Masterclass closes on September 10th. If you want to be notified when the next class opens, you can sign up at the bottom of this page.

I taught a great group of momand dad bloggers how to use tools at the Craftsman DIY Blogger Summit.
After that, I made a little trip to Indy to visit the fine folks at the Delta Faucet Company.
In between the jaunting all over the country, I’ve been Green DIY Diva’ing around the house. It seems you like that too. Here are my top 10 most popular projects (as determined by the mystic analytics algorithms) of 2011 in no particular order.
I think organizing your house is the biggest bang for your DIY buck! Or lack there of because it’s usually a no cost project if you find a bunch of items to repurpose during your tidy up time.
Hands up! Who likes crates?
This project made me fall in love with the vanity I wanted to replace.
Canister sets aren't just for kitchens!
My daily shower cleaner is all over Pinterest. I guess many of you share my joy (not really) in cleaning the tub and shower.
I used lavender from my garden.
My reupholstered sofa tutorial was popular no doubt, because it featured Blitzkrieg, the real star of this blog.
Or the sofa thing might have been poplar because many of you like sewing. Or got an iPad and didn’t want to pay out of the nose for a case and stand.
This stand works for both the iPad 1 and 2.
Or want a bunch of comfy summer skirts. I transitioned these pieces into fall by pairing them with tights, boots, and sweaters. So cute!
As comfy as sweats and looks less schleppy.
This one was a little surprising. I knew I was onto something when my mom grilled me about insulating my garage door shortly after this post went up. I didn’t expect insulation to be so popular.
It's amazing how much of a difference this makes in the temperature of the garage!
That’s my Top 10 Project Posts of 2011. What type of things do you want to see on Condo Blues in 2012?
great posts Lisa! I am definitely going to check out the orange oil, and a few others tomorrow!

Henry shook his head in disbelief. “I just don’t buy it,” he said indicating the monolith before us.
“It can’t just be art.” The incredulousness pouring off of every word. Henry crossed his arms and stared up at the thing as it spun slowly before us. A faint tinkling could be heard on the wind.
“Everyone’s got an aesthetic. I know even birds do when they’re making their nests. But something… something on this scale.” Henry collapsed in exhaustion then. He sat on the rocks and stared out over the alien landscape.
The art, as it were, continued uninterrupted. The wind churned up snow drifts that scattered beneath the monolith. It was silent save for the slight tinkling of crystal, but this high there were no animals to be found. The rising sun gradually lit the construction in hues unseen on earth. And in doing so I could see why someone, something, would want to draw attention to it.
The light refracted through the monolith to the ice below. It in turn acted as another prism. And what had been a landscape of blacks and whites became a cacophony of color hemmed in by the light of the distant sun.

This article was published 25/6/2010 (3220 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
ON the busiest day yet in Winnipeg's mayoral race, incumbent Sam Katz unveiled his campaign team and challenger Judy Wasylycia-Leis promised to set up a council of business advisers if she's elected.
On Friday, Katz's campaign announced Theresa Harvey Pruden, a senior provincial official during both Gary Doer's NDP government and Gary Filmon's Progressive Conservative administration, will co-chair his re-election team with Paul Edwards, a lawyer and former Manitoba Liberal Party leader.
Katz's campaign manager will be Marni Larkin, who has worked as a federal Tory strategist, while Liberal Sen. Rod Zimmer and Tory Sen. Terry Stratton are Katz's fundraising co-chairs.
The presence of Edwards in the Katz campaign sets up a battle of former Manitoba Liberal leaders, as Liberal Sen. Sharon Carstairs is a co-chair of Judy Wasylycia-Leis' mayoral campaign.
Nicole Campbell, a national representative for the Canadian Union of Public Employees, will take a break from her job to serve as Wasylycia-Leis's campaign manager. Campbell might start in August, Wasylycia-Leis said.
Katz campaign manager Larkin started work Friday.
Earlier on in the day, Wasylycia-Leis told a crowd of about 20 restaurant owners and Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce members she would create "a business advisory council" within four weeks of being elected. In a clear shot at Katz, the former NDP MP said she would ensure the door to the mayor's office is open to all local businesses.
She also took a shot at the city's latest series of rapid-transit studies, within the context of attracting business to Winnipeg.
"The days of spending money on studies and consultants with nothing to show for it must come to an end," she said. "Endless delays cost us money and they send a message to investors that we don't finish what we start."
Katz said he already knows the gist of a new light-rail study due out in July, which will outline a financial case for leapfrogging over bus rapid transit to flexible streetcars that can operate on both roads and tracks.
He also shrugged off Wasylycia-Leis' statement about his accessibility to business owners.
"I think you and every member of the media knows my door is open 24/7," Katz said. "That's a statement I'm not even gong to comment on because it's ridiculous."
Appliance salesman Avery Petrowski is also running for mayor. The civic election takes place Oct. 27.

The Carolina Panthers are holding out quarterback Cam Newton from their Sunday game against the Atlanta Falcons due to his ailing right shoulder, coach Ron Rivera told reporters on Wednesday.
Newton will likely miss the regular-season finale against the New Orleans Saints as well, but the team elected not to put him on injured reserve.
Newton has been dealing with soreness for close to two months while Carolina’s season has unraveled with six straight defeats. The Panthers (6-8) aren’t officially eliminated from the playoffs, but their hopes are highly slim.
Taylor Heinicke will be Carolina’s starting quarterback on Sunday against the Falcons.
—Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner missed practice and told reporters he still isn’t feeling like himself as he recovers from a right high-ankle sprain.
“I am trying. It’s day-by-day,” Conner said.
Conner, who was named the AFC’s starting running back for the Pro Bowl on Tuesday, has missed two games with the injury. He praised fill-ins Jaylen Samuels and Stevan Ridley for their performances in his absence.
—Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers told reporters he plans to play through his groin injury Sunday against the New York Jets.
Hours earlier, interim coach Joe Philbin declined to say definitively whether or not Rodgers would play.
Rodgers did practice and took all the reps, avoiding the “limited” designation on the team’s injury report.
—The Miami Dolphins placed running back Frank Gore on injured reserve and signed defensive tackle Kendrick Norton.
Gore hurt his left ankle Sunday in Miami’s 41-17 loss to the Minnesota Vikings when he was tackled on a run in the first quarter. While he was able to make it to the sidelines, later he was carted to the locker room and missed the rest of the game.
Norton, a seventh-round pick by Carolina in the 2018 NFL draft, spent the past 15 weeks on the Panthers’ practice squad.
—Denver cornerback Chris Harris will not return from a broken leg this season, with the Broncos placing the veteran on injured reserve.
Harris sustained a fractured fibula during a 24-10 victory at Cincinnati on Dec. 2, but two straight losses without his services have knocked the Broncos (6-8) out of playoff contention. Harris, 29, finished his ninth season in Denver three interceptions, one sack and 49 tackles in 12 games.
—Detroit running back Kerryon Johnson’s season is over, as the Lions placed the promising rookie on injured reserve.
Johnson has not played since spraining his left knee in the Lions’ 20-19 victory against Carolina on Nov. 18. The decision to place him on IR comes with the Lions officially out of the playoff race.
A second-round pick in 2018 out of Auburn, Johnson rushed 118 times for 641 yards (5.4 average) and three touchdowns and caught 32 passes for 213 yards and one score in 10 games with seven starts.
—The New York Giants activated wide receiver Cody Latimer from injured reserve and placed cornerback Antonio Hamilton on the list with a quadriceps injury.
Latimer’s return is timely with receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (quad) and Russell Shepard (ankle) both uncertain for Sunday’s road game against the Indianapolis Colts.
Latimer appeared in four games before going on IR with a hamstring injury in mid-October. He caught six passes for 108 yards.
—The Oakland Raiders signed former Buffalo Bills quarterback Nathan Peterman to their practice squad.
The move came as Raiders backup AJ McCarron was at the hospital with his wife, who gave birth to a baby boy on Tuesday night. Peterman will work with Oakland’s scout team, and he’s likely to sign a futures/reserve contract with the team after the regular season, per multiple reports.
The Bills cut Peterman last month. The 2017 fifth-round pick appeared in eight games in two seasons in Buffalo, completing 52.3 percent of his passes for 548 yards, three touchdowns, 12 interceptions and a 32.5 passer rating.
—Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his back when he was a redshirt freshman at North Dakota State, ESPN reported.
The injury occurred during his childhood and was completely healed before he got to college, a league source told ESPN. The source also said that injury is not related to Wentz’s current malady, a fractured vertebra that could sideline him for the rest of the season.
Wentz has been characterized as “week-to-week” by Eagles coach Doug Pederson after a CT scan last week revealed the current fracture.

It’s no secret that planning and building a new kitchen is, to put it lightly, a process. The amount of thought that needs to go into this process is enough to make anybody’s head spin. Choosing cabinetry, deciding on a colour palette, selecting the right tiles or surface for your kitchen floor. Yet, one element that is often overlooked when planning a kitchen renovation, is what countertop edge style to choose.
If you’re like most people deep in the throes of a kitchen renovation, you’ll spend a lot of time and energy in choosing the perfect countertops for your kitchen. What many novice renovators don’t realise though, is that there’s more to it than simply selecting the right material. You have to consider the edge as well. It might not seem so at first, but getting the edges right will make a world of difference to the look of your countertops and how they work in your space.
There are some that believe kitchen countertop edges don’t matter – that edges are merely a personal preference or a decision that carries little weight. What these people overlook, however, is how highly decorative edges can create an illusion of making the space look smaller. The eye is naturally drawn to these edges, creating a focal point that ignores the overall kitchen look. In a small kitchen, getting your countertop edges right is a crucial design consideration.
If you’re already familiar with the world kitchen countertop edges, you’ll know exactly how to select the perfect stone for your build. Having knowledge of the subject can open up a world of innovative ideas regarding pairing and combining the right edge with the ideal stone to create a good visual harmony.
Naturally, there are many things to consider when selecting an edge profile for your countertops. The most obvious first consideration is style. The edge you choose should match naturally with the rest of your project, or you run the risk of having a kitchen that’s visually unbalanced.
A single-bevelled countertop edge is a square edge cut along the top at approximately a 45-degree angle. This is a very popular edge because its sleek straight lines can add a touch of sophistication to a small kitchen without overwhelming the rest of the elements in the space. Countertop edges should complement the overall look, never dominate it. The single bevel edge often also looks like more expensive and exclusive than it actually is, depending on what countertop material you choose.
Bullnose is a slightly more refined countertop edge. It’s a smooth, rounded edge that is an understated option that suits most material choices. Generally, there are two types of bullnose edges: full and half bullnose. Both options give a soft touch to any countertop and are known as timeless choices that often surfaces in traditional kitchen design. A full bullnose edge makes the counter edge appear slimmer, and in some ways, more modern. These edges are also more child-friendly – as straight edges may cause injury.
An eased edge style is characterised by a subtle softened square that soothes the hard, sharp edges that you’ll commonly find on laminate countertop options. The eased edge style is another great option for small kitchens. When used in combination with a complementary surface material, this style will create a sophisticated, modern look. It’s also an ideal edge choice for kitchens with oddly shaped counters and strange angles.
Choosing the perfect countertop edge should be more than just a passing thought. It’s one of those design decisions that seem insignificant but can have a big impact when not applied correctly.

Acromyrmex octospinosus are a species of leaf cutter ants. Acromyrmex can be identified from the closely related Atta genus of Leaf cutters ants by having four pairs of spines and a rough exoskeleton on the upper thorax surface, compared with the three pairs of spines and smooth exoskeleton on Atta.
Leaf cutter ants are something of a legend you will find them in Zoos and Museums and it is a great opportunity for any ant keeper to have a colony of your own! They have a symbiotic relationship with fungus in which they extract organic material from their surroundings leaf based material and seeds and fruits to build their intricate fungus gardens it is amazing to watch as they carry their leafs on a highway back to their beautiful fungus gardens this fungus provides all the nutrition they need.
After a few years of research and working along side experienced leaf cutter ant keepers we are happy to be able to offer leaf cutters in our store we know getting such a amazing species can seems an overwhelming task they do require a decent amount of care but once they are establish you are clean sailing.
We have designed the perfect starter kit for your colony of leaf cutters to make sure you get a great foundation of knowledge as well as some essential equipment to get you started on your journey!
Our leaf cutters ants are collected with ethics on the forefront of our agenda. Experts speak to local farmers in the country of origin and strike a deal with them in which they mark out the areas where the leaf cutter ant colonies are on their land and before they are due to spray their land with pesticides to kill most insects the experts come along before this process and collect the colonies up and pay the farmers a fair share for their work as well as saving the colonies from destruction. The colonies are then shipped back to the UK with both Export and Import permits obtained and undergo inspection by customs and pass our experts facility. The ants are quarantined for two weeks or more weeks then are shipped to our facility in which our experienced leaf cutter keeper quarantined for a further 7 days and ready for shipping! Now you know the process of our leaf cutter supply chain! I look forward to welcoming you to the leaf cutter team!

Post subject: Re: Light switch L2, com , L1 ??
Light switches don't have Live Neutral and Earth, if they did it would go BANG when you operate the switch.
So, what do your old switches say?
Picture would help, posting a picture info is in my signature.
So do I just not use the earth in the new plastic switches ??
I am not electrician but changed light switches in my home in the past by copying wiring from old to new switches.
L1 and COM is used on your old switch and you have those 2 connectors on your new switch. The yellow/green is earth but not on new plastic switch and can connect onto the back metal box. Make sure mains is off from consumer unit before doing the work.
You use L1 and L2 to control light from 2 switches as in head and foot of staircase.
Red to com, black (switched live) to L1 earth to back box.
That is the important bit. The black is NOT a neutral in a lightswitch.

According to New York Department of Health Workers involved in asbestos removal must receive appropriate training prior to being certified and asbestos contractors must meet strict requirements to be licensed. This helps to ensure workers and the public are not exposed to the hazards of breathing asbestos particles.

Builder purchased ACBM until the 1970’s because it was very cheap to purchase. The stores were stuck with huge ACM inventory they wanted get rid of. If you suspect your home or you are considering buying a property that may contain asbestos, it’s vital you get a thorough inspection by a qualified professional AHERA accredited asbestos inspector.

For NCAA and NAIA universities students must take a recognised university entry test. The most popular tests are the SAT or ACT tests.
For entry in August tests should ideally be taken before Christmas in the preceding year. Testing after January is late as the majority of scholarships are issued during February and March. US coaches quickly lose interest in players who avoid taking one of the US Entry Tests.

Do your unconscious gender biases get in the way of decision-making?
Gender equality in the tax profession has received a lot of attention lately. And rightly so. The percentage of women practising in tax increases each year, and more women aspire to be emerging thought leaders.
However, whilst many men and women advocate for women in the profession, why are there still so few women in leadership positions? The answer might lie in the fact that we all practise something called the unconscious gender bias.
Unconscious gender biases are the unwitting, implicit associations of men and women that we harbour in our subconscious minds that affect our everyday actions and decision-making. For example, when ‘Partner at a big firm’ is mentioned, do you picture a male or female leader? Your answer depends on your unconscious gender bias and becomes problematic when it negatively affects your ability to be inclusive and supportive of female leaders in the workplace.
“Current measures aimed at addressing gender bias in the tax and transfer system are arguably not working”, says Kerrie Sadiq CTA, a Professor of Taxation in the School of Accountancy at the QUT Business School, Queensland University of Technology.
Kerrie will present in November at The Tax Institute’s Women in Tax National Congress, which will showcase speakers from tax, business, government and beyond addressing the hidden barriers that women face at work.
When we asked Kerrie why she wanted to present at the Women in Tax National Congress, she said that awareness can contribute to gender equality in the profession.
“A gender balance reflects stakeholder representation where a healthy debate can lead to better policy decisions. Awareness of the issues is an essential part of this process,” she said.
“Is it time to rethink the approach to tax policy design by addressing the input side to tax reform by ensuring diversity in the decision-making process and policy choices?
Kerrie’s session will challenge you to consider your own conscious and unconscious gender biases in relation to tax, in the hope that more female leaders will emerge in the future.
The Women in Tax National Congress will take place on Wednesday, 22 November 2017 at the Pier One Sydney Harbour Autograph Collection Marriott Hotel.
This event has now sold out, however we are pleased to offer a live stream option for those who missed out. You can find out more on our website.
Kerrie Sadiq is a Professor of Taxation in the School of Accountancy at the QUT Business School, Queensland University of Technology. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce (B Com) from The University of Queensland, a Bachelor of Laws (Honours) (LLB Hons) from The University of Queensland, a Master of Laws (LLM) from Queensland University of Technology, and a PhD from Deakin University.
Kerrie is a Chartered Tax Adviser as designated by The Tax Institute and is a Graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Kerrie primarily researches in international tax, tax expenditures and capital gains tax. She is author of numerous publications in both Australian and International journals and edited books and is a co-author of taxation texts. She is a co-editor of Australian Tax Review, one of Australia’s leading tax journals. Kerrie is often cited in the media in relation to international tax issues and regularly receives invitations to speak on contemporary tax topics.
Prior to joining Queensland University of Technology, Kerrie spent 20 years at The University of Queensland, as a member of both their Law School and Business School.

>Yesterday my grandmother finally recovered enough from the sedatives given to her before her angiogram/angioplasty for my mom to tell her what happened. We expected Granny to be upset. My mom assured her that we would find her another doctor.
Upon hearing that her doctor forgot which stents he was supposed to use, my grandmother, apparently, shrugged. "Well, I like him. He doesn't talk to me like I'm senile or a child."
My mom was confused. "So do you not want a new doctor."
"No," Granny said. "I'm happy with this one."
*Except that if he does anything to hurt Granny in the future, I will come after that fucker with everything I've got.

There has been some great effort to get people to the polls this year. It’s encouraging.
It’s true that sometimes races and decisions can get very close and that can be exciting, but focusing on that misses the point a bit. It devalues the magnitude of what it means to head out to the polls and add your voice.
Voting is important not because you might be the one vote that swings it the way you want it to go. Voting is important because a democracy demands the voice of the people to elect our leaders. It’s not about me the person. It’s about we the people. It’s about us as a municipal, state, national, and global community.
Individualism is important, but perhaps we have strayed too far in our understanding of how we function as a community, and become too focused on our own egos. In a democracy, and in the United States in particular, we as individuals make up something bigger. Our national motto even tells us so.
So when you vote, it’s not a time to think about you. Sure take your selfies (where it’s permitted), broadcast your pride in doing your duty, show other people how good it feels to participate in the process. But remember that this moment is about synergy—when we come together to create something greater than all of us put together.

Security expert Bruce Schneier has a post describing photocopiers that have hard drives and retain copies of the documents they’ve scanned.
The security implications of this for government, business, education and health care institutions — especially those who have policies about scrubbing data from discarded or recycled computers — are enormous.
Of course, all organizations should be looking after this, especially where there are privacy implications for third parties (e.g. patients, taxpayers, customers, students).

The geographical burden of NTDs varies significantly, with the greatest burden occurring in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
Read more about the Global Burden of Disease study.
Current estimates are that at 819 million people worldwide are infected with Ascaris, 464 million with Trichuris and 438 million with hookworm. Infection is generally most prevalent among rural communities in warm and humid equatorial regions and where sanitation facilities are inadequate. However, infection can also occur in urban areas.
Of the 5.2 millions DALYs caused by STHs, the majority (62%) are attributable to hookworm.
Schistosomiasis is endemic in 70 developing countries, and more than 200 million people are infected worldwide. S. mansoni occurs in Africa, the Middle East, the Caribbean, Brazil, Venezuela and Suriname. S. haematobium occurs in Africa and the Middle East. S. Japonicum only occurs in China, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Most infected people live in poor communities without access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitation. An estimated 90% of infected individuals live in sub-Saharan Africa, where up to 20 million people also suffer severe chronic health consequences of the disease.
Schistosomiasis is estimated to cause 3.3 million DALYs.
LF is endemic in 83 countries and there are an estimated 120 million cases, including 25 million men with hydrocele and 15 million people, primarily women, with lymphedema. The disease occurs throughout the tropical areas of Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Pacific, with around 66% of the infection clustered in South-East Asia and most of the remaining infection (~33%) centred in Africa.
LF is estimated to cause 2.8 million DALYs.
