With the ongoing Google I/O developers conference this week will surely come a lot of surprises from the Internet giant, one of which is the anticipated unveiling of a tablet running on their equally new Android operating system, Jellybean. Google seem to be doing what Microsoft did last week in its unveiling of Surface tablet. "It seems Google's trying to do what Microsoft did last week, which is basically tell their partners they no longer trust them to do things right." The 7-inch Asus-Google tablets will be made by Quanta Computer and will reportedly run on Jellybean, the latest version of Android's mobile OS. The first of its kind from Google, the tablet could cost up to USD 250, which should be another reason for Amazon as well as Apple to be on the alert.

The right heating controls will let you keep your home at a comfortable temperature without wasting fuel or heat - so you'll reduce your carbon dioxide emissions and spend less on heating bills. If you have an electric storage heating and hot water system, with storage heaters use the off-peak electricity to 'charge up' overnight and then release heat during the day, you'll need a different set of controls. Find out more about electric heating and hot water controls. If your home is heated by a system of water-filled pipes and radiators running from a boiler, you have a 'wet' central heating system, whether it is gas, LPG or oil-fired. Your full set of controls should ideally include a boiler thermostat, a timer or programmer, a room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs). How much can you save? Temperature controls Timing controls What we recommend How much can you save? Whatever the age of your boiler, the right controls will let you set your heating and hot water to come on and off when you need them, heat just the areas of your home you want, and decide how warm you want each area to be. Here are the average savings you could make in a typical three-bedroom semi-detached home, heated by gas: Install a room thermostat if you didn't have one before: £70 and 280kg carbon dioxide a year Fit a hot water tank thermostat: £30 and 130kg carbon dioxide a year Fit a hot water tank insulation jacket: £40 and 170kg carbon dioxide a year. You can also make savings by using your controls more effectively: Turn down your room thermostat by one degree: save around £55 and 230kg carbon dioxide a year. You can upgrade or install heating controls without replacing your boiler, and it's a particularly good idea to think about this if your controls are over 12 years old.

The FTSE 100 fell 6.5 per cent in 2011 following a 10 per cent rise in 2010. That's disappointing - but it's better than the 15 per cent tumble for Germany and 17 per cent for France. KEY POINTS Up until the turbulence of 2011, the bulls were in the ascendency - it marked an incredible run. The Footsie's total rally to the mid-February 2011 high of 6091, represented a 73% recovery from the low of 3512 in March 2009. Emerging markets did even better in the bull market phase. The FTSE Emerging Latin America index [Bloomberg chart], rose 87% in 2009 and a further 13% in 2010. But fears for the global economy meant a sharp sell-off for the like of Brazil and China in 2011. The bad debts of banks that crippled the financial system have been passed on to governments (and their taxpayers), hence the sticky mess that emerged last year [more on Britain's debt woes]. Now debt threatens to bankrupt several southern European countries - this reality only sunk in during the summer of 2011 and was the reason for the poor performance of the stock markets in the second half of the year. The FTSE 100 hit a low of 4935 on 19 August - a 20 per cent fall from more than 5900 in July. Fresh hopes for a rescue package pumped markets back up in late October: the U.S. market had its best month since 1974. But the exuberance evaporated in November and December when a solid plan to save the euro continued to evade European leaders. Enlarge The stock market crash of 2011 We set out reasons for pessimism and optimism (which have barely changed in three years): The bull points * Central banks will stimulate economies with printed money at the slightest hint of trouble, and this has the side-effect of increasing demand for assets such as shares; * Shares look very cheap vs bonds. When FTSE 100 dividend yields exceed 10-year government bonds, it means shares are a buy. This happened in late summer 2010 and again in the second half of 2011. Others say this measure is flawed because

sophiamostel: Springhill Care Group : 2012 U.S. Healthcare: UCR or '$99,750 Ear Wax Fraud'? Aetna Wants Court to Stop Hospital's UCR Billing On Dec 7, 2011, Aetna filed a lawsuit against two PPO surgeons and one out-of-network (OON) hospital, in the District Court, Harris County, Texas. Aetna lawsuit seeks to recover damages and attorneys' fees and for court temporary injunction to stop the OON hospital's UCR billing and PPO surgeon's referrals, alleging breach of contract, conspiracy to overcharge, tortious interference, and common law fraud, including "a bill for $99,750 for the removal of ear wax". A new 2012 "UCR war" already unfolds in the court. ERISAclaim.com offers private Webinars to examine this court case, its profound impacts on all OON providers, and explore compliant solutions and protections under ERISA and PPACA as well as OIG Guidance. Aetna OON UCR Case info: AETNA HEALTH INC vs. SOFOLA, IFEOLUMIPO O (MD) (Case #: 2011-73949 / Court 152) In 2012, most out-of-network (OON) doctors, surgical centers and hospitals will "make it or break it", depending upon the outcome of this new Aetna lawsuit, as an emerging trend in managed litigations. "While the alleged $99,750 ear wax UCR fee may or may not be an isolated inadvertent error, the payor's new lawsuit to outlaw all OON UCR billing as fraud certainly represents a new 2012 trend and detrimental blow to all OON providers and 77% of insured Americans in private industry," says Dr. Jin Zhou, president of ERISAclaim.com, a national expert on PPACA and ERISA appeals and compliance. "Failure to recognize the impact of the payor UCR legal actions under $99,750 ear wax anti-fraud strategies and to quickly act with compliant solutions, the OON market will most likely fail by the end of 2012," warned Dr. Zhou. According to the court documents, "Plaintiffs Aetna Health Inc. and Aetna Life Insurance Company (collectively, "Aetna") bring this action under the laws of thi

The decision of US to let the blind human rights activist Chen Guangcheng return into China's fold following his escape from authorities is straining ties between the two countries as diplomatic dialogues opened in Beijing. The 40-year old Chen who is now considered a dissident became an international human rights inspiration to many Chinese after earning the ire of the local government for exposing forced abortions in line with the country's one-child policy. The self-taught lawyer took to the US embassy after his escape, apparently to ask for help but was eventually ushered into the Beijing Hospital. According to a senior official's statement to Springhill Care Group, Chen has indeed went into the embassy that day and has requested for medical treatment for his injured foot. American medical personnel have then conducted medical tests and made appropriate treatment during the time he was there. Immediately after the incident, the Chinese government has expressed its disapproval about the entire affair, demanding an apology from the US for taking Chen in. "What the U.S. side should do now is neither to continue misleading the public and making every excuse to shift responsibility and conceal its wrongdoing, nor to interfere in the domestic affairs of China," said Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin. This incident came just when the US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton is visiting Beijing in a meeting with Chinese officials on security and trade talks. And although no one mentioned Chen's name, it is evident in their statements that the incident is on the spotlight as the 2 nations struggle to maintain common ground. Clinton said in her opening statement, "The United States believes that no state can legitimately deny the universal rights that belong to every human being - or punish those who exercise them. A China that protects the rights of all its citizens will be a stronger, more prosperous partner for the United State
