Patients generally judge their medical care by how quickly they can get in and out of a doctor’s office, the bedside manor of the staff and the level and accuracy of care. According to the American Medical Association, it is the office receptionist’s duty to ask patients a series of questions to help doctor’s and nurses give their patient proper care.

1. What is your full name and how is it spelled? In order to verify insurance coverage, providers require the patient’s full legal name, spelled correctly.
2. What is the purpose of the appointment? You will need to know about how much time an appointment will take. If lab work and x-rays will be required, a sufficient block of time should be reserved for that patient.
3. Do you have insurance? If so, what is the name of your provider? This information is necessary to verify that the patient has current coverage and to determine their co-pay and deductible due at the time of the visit. Check with the accounting staff to what additional information, such as the patient’s date of birth and current address, is required.
4. When did you last have a doctor’s appointment? Always verify that a patient has accurate contact and insurance information.
5. What is your age? If the patient is a minor, which parent’s insurance plan covers them and what is their contact information? How is their name spelled? Who is responsible for decisions about the child’s care and which parent will bring the child in?
6. What is your work and home phone number and what is the preferred method of contact? If your office gives confirmation calls, this information is very important. It is also useful for getting more information from the patient, such as billing information, treatment information, etc.
7. Where you referred by another doctor? If so, what is the doctor’s name and contact information? It is important to know the name and contact information of the referring physician in order to obtain the patients medical records and other information from their office.
8. Should specific results and records be brought to the office with the patient? It is very important for patients who have been referred by other doctors or who have gotten test results from other physicians to coordinate those records with your office’s records. If your offices use electronic medical records or EMR software, this is much easier.
9. Are you familiar with our office’s policies? Your physician my have special instructions for their patients, especially if your offices is that of a specialist. For example, does the patient need to fast after midnight or take or cease to take any medications?
10. Do you have any questions? It’s very helpful to both you and the patient to get any other questions out of the way before their visit. This can save time on both your parts, as well as save trouble for the physician and other medical staff.

Most investors are looking forward to the coming year with great anticipation and there’s good reason to. The good news is that corporate profits are still rising and the bull market scenario will continue as long as earnings go higher.

If you want to learn how to do technical analysis trading than, you should only be looking at the Forex market to trade. As technical trade set ups are far more consistent on the Forex than on the stock markets.

Stock technical analysis software has been helping in the stock market. It works on every aspect of analytics and helps you in deciding about the right investment accordingly based on its picks.

Technical analysis software is a program that takes care of various aspects of technical analysis. This involves the automatic functions such as charting and analysis and other analysis in stock markets. This is a quick and more reliable way to get the analyses and to identify trends in the stock market while purchasing and selling. This ensures higher profits more quickly while making purchases. Stock technical analysis software is useful for both smaller and large companies who need lots of accurate and reliable data as well as guidance, as well for individuals investing in stock market. It is highly beneficial for those who have less experience and can benefit from guidance and advice.

Traders have limited choices when it comes to quality and accuracy in technical analysis software. Many traders use technical analysis programs for trading stocks. The stock market can result in great financial gain if done seriously. It’s essential to have a plan and a proper strategy. Using technical analysis software, even the newbie can earn a lot from the world of the stock market.

Choose the right technical analysis software can lower your vulnerability to risk with your money. The way the stock market moves on a day to day basis is only evident with the right software and the right analysis.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Knowing when Bull and Bear markets begin and end is not an issue of market timing. The earnings indicator is too slow to be used as a market timing tool. But it is a strategic issue. It defines the way you should manage your portfolio.

In a Bull market you should think about buying stocks and ETFs low and selling high. Be more aggressive in buying stocks and ETFs long and less aggressive on selling them. Buy the dips. Go bottom-fishing, i.e., get in at the first sign of an upturn, sell high, wait for another down turn and do it over again. You may also use wider Stops on your long positions. Avoid selling-short.

Do just the opposite in a Bear market. Think about selling stocks short and buying Contra ETFs at the peaks and buying-to-cover stocks and selling Contra ETFs at bounces from bottoms. Wait for the end of another upturn and do it over again. You may also use tighter Stops to cover your short positions on stocks and close Contra ETFS positions. Avoid buying stocks long to open.

Microsoft Dynamics GP version 10.0 is current at this time, December 2008.  If you are planning GP version update from earlier versions, such as 9.0, 8.0, 7.5, 7.0, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0, 4.0 or from Great Plains Select on Pervasive SQL or Ctree, then you may read this orientation paper.  It is intended primarily to IT departments and not to Dynamics GP professional consultants (as consultants have access to Technical Knowledge base through their GP Partner Source).  If you are IT support technician and you was chosen to lead Great Plains upgrade project, first recommendation is to get access to Dynamics GP Customer Source.  If you are not sure how to accomplish this task, please contact your Great Plains VAR/Reseller, call Microsoft directly or call our office.  Please, read these highlights:

1.       Upgrade path.  If you are on Great Plains version, earlier than 8.0, then you cannot upgrade in one step and you need to develop your understanding on the upgrade path.  For example, if you are on version 7.5, consider either upgrading to 8.0 and then go to 10.0 or upgrading to 9.0 and then go to 10.0.  If you are on archaic versions: 6.0 and earlier, please get support from professional Great Plains consultant

2.       Upgrading to 10.0.  Here, please note this very important message – this upgrade is service pack sensitive.  For example, if you are on GP 9.0, then Service Pack 2 is required (or higher, you can apply 9.0 SP 4 at this time).  If you are on GP 8.0, then SP 5 is required.  Also, you cannot just use GP 10.0 CD to do the job.  Great Plains 10.0 SP 1 is required (SP 3 or 2 are better options in our opinion).  As we got multiple upgrades under our belt, we feel the need to share with you User Security import issues, attributable to Great Plains 10.0 Service Pack 1, so consider SP3 or SP2

3.       Migration from Ctree or Btrieve/Pervasive SQL.  Dynamics GP has special migration tool, which will move your Pervasive or Ctree data to Microsoft SQL Server

4.       Great Plains Registration Key.  Key is required, and it is in direct relation to your status in Dynamics GP annual enhancement program.  If you lapsed in this program, you likely do not have access to new GP version key.  If this is your case, please contact your Great Plains VAR to get information on reenrollment

5.       FRx, ReportWriter, Dexterity customization, eConnect application, Integration Manager Integrations, VBA/Modifier, GP ISV Add-Ons, Crystal Reports upgrade.  Please, try to identify these modifications to your Great Plains ERP installation and include them in the plan

With the introduction of eConnect, such tools as Dynamics GP Integration Manager, being moved to eConnect platform opened the door for you, Great Plains Programmer or Technical Consultant to really advanced, large and complicated data migrations and conversions.  The techniques, described in this article were actually available for old Integration Manager connectors, however they were not practical, until eConnect virtually resolved integration speed and performance.  With eConnect integrations you can move up to ten transactions per second, as eConnect is calling encrypted SQL Stored Procedures, comparing to validating GP logic in OLE driven Great Plains Dexterity forms in old versions of IM.  Let’s consider scenario, when you have to convert the whole year of GL records for large company with several thousand transactions per week.  Here is what you do:

1.       Export data in tab or comma delimited text format and import it into Microsoft SQL Server in the form of staging tables.  Then massage the data in the tables: remove quote marks, for example, where you have Debit and Credit fields.  Next step – consider creating SQL views, which will be the base for Advanced ODBC queries in the next paragraph

2.       Advanced ODBC queries, based on SQL ODBC driver.  You can use Dynamics GP DSN for elegancy.  If you already tried to group, aggregate data in ODBC queries, based on Text Driver, you probably had very disappointing experience.  You should be surprised – in the case of Dynamics GP DSN you do not see those annoying error messages, attributed to poor Text Driver

3.       GL Header Source.  Select transaction number only, plus alternatively use MAX construction to add Transaction date and group by transaction number

4.       GL Lines Source.  Simply use select star statement from your SQL view.  Then link two sources by transaction number field and potentially preview both sources to be sure you are on the right side of the road

5.       Save and Run Integration.  Please, note here, that eConnect integration connector doesn’t require you to close all GP windows (as you remember OLE connector required).  If you are moving huge volume of transactions, you can look at them showing up in GP while integration is in progress

6.       Now you should be at the point, where IM helps you do what you were doing in the past with low level insert scripts and obviously were fighting with data integrity.  As you know IM validates business logic and doesn’t let inconsistent records move in

Adding custom fonts to your website has for a time been very difficult. You get you site looking pretty and then upload it to the server and low and behold it looks great on your PC but looks absolutely terrible on everyone elses. The reason for this is that every one only has a few core fonts in common and if you add non-core fonts to your site those without them cant see them.

Now it has changed it’s much easier to add custom fonts to your webpages with cufon. Cufon is a javascript that replaces default fonts with the font stored in a javascript file and its included with the theme so everyone can see them.

The plugin for wordpress can be found in the wordpress.org/extend achieves called wp-cufon. Just upload the plugin to your plugins folder and create a fonts folder in the plugins folder  wp-content/plugins/fonts. The fonts folder is where you can upload your custom fonts to.

Your fonts will need to be changed into a format recognized by cufon to use. Thankfully there is an online utility that will do that for you. Cufon font utility. Currently only TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), Printer Font Binary (PFB) and PostScript fonts are supported for conversion. Make sure that you use royalty free fonts or that you have the right to use it. The page for the conversion is very self explanatory.

I normally tick the following boxes.

Uppercase Lowercase Numerals Punctuation WordPress punctuation Basic Latin

and add my website address in the security area to limit where the fonts can be used and leave the rest as are and press the Lets do this button.

Save the file and upload it to the wp-content/plugins/fonts folder on your server. Open the plugin settings page on your wordpress installation http://YOURDOMAIN/wp-admin/themes.php?page=wp-cufon.php or go to plugins and in the plugin activation area there is a link beside the plugin to that page.

When using the wp-cufon plugin the font should be showing in the Your Fonts area of the settings page.The font name is usually the first word of the file name but if for some reason it doesn’t work when you implement the replacements below, you can check the name by opening the yourfont.js file that you uploaded to the wp-content/plugins/fonts folder. Just search for something like this near the top or on the first line

cufon.registerFont({“w”:205,”face”:{“font-family”:”Vegur Bold“, …

the bold part here is the font name.

To change the fonts all you need to do now it add code to the Please enter your source for the replacements: text box and save.

A quick cufon example image

In this example I have used the font called ADVENTURE to replace the logo text and all <h2> formatted text. The command

Cufon.replace(‘h2,#header #logo’, { fontFamily: ‘Adventure’ });

could also have been used to group the two pieces together. On the settings page are a number of examples of how to change part or all of your text to certain fonts. You can use firefox firebug plugin to find the id’s or classes of the .css elements to change or look in you themes style.css file.

Three years ago there were few products on the market that could support remote access for 3D graphics and deliver 3D application remotely. The few that were on the market required at least 5Mbps and latencies below 75 milliseconds. We wanted to build a product that provided a usable experience with 2Mpbs of bandwidth and tolerate up to 150ms round trip latency. We wanted to create the best 3D virtualization platform. We feel that this product has now been created- XenDesktop 4- a breakthrough desktop virtualization platform for 3D graphics.

3D graphical applications like CATIA, Pro/ENGINEER, Autodesk, etc. are used daily by CAD/CAM designers in the manufacturing sector. Research scientists use 3D graphical application for oil exploration in oil and natural gas companies. These are computationally challenging applications that need high end GPUs (graphical processing units) manufactured by companies like nVIDI and AMD. These applications often require the most advanced workstations- fastest possible CPU and GPU and the largest amount of memory.

3D applications are difficult to virtualize because performance is key in these applications. The CPU-GPU interaction has been designed to optimally deliver the highest number of frames per second (fps). Any software that is inserted in the middle can reduce the fps delivered to the user and cause a poor user experience. For example, for some complex models with hundreds of thousands of rendering triangles the workstation may create 2-3 frames per second. If the virtualization platform reduces the display rate to 1-2 fps, the difference is perceptible, and the end user will not want to use the application.

In XenDesktop 4, the latency tolerance optimization has been extended that what is already presented in the HDX technology and has added a few new compression algorithms, including some that use the GPU itself to do compression. The result is a 3D virtualization platform that meets the market requirements and delivers the best possible user experience. On the LAN, our solution can perform even better than locally installed application, because server side GPUs can be more powerful than desktop GPUs. On the WAN there is no other solution that can deliver a usable experience at 2Mbps with 150 ms round trip latency.

You will see this technology platform bear fruit in other areas that affect larger number of users. The new Microsoft OS-Windows 7- leverages the GPS to deliver cool 3D graphical user interfaces. Our experience with high-end 3D graphics will help us effectively solve these problems for millions of users as they migrate to Windows 7. Stay tuned!

Microsoft Dynamics GP is open to customizations, modifications and reporting just via the fact that it is in essence Microsoft SQL Server database application.  Unlike others small business and mid-market ERP applications (SAP Business One, for example), GP allows you to update its tables fields via SQL update command.  However, before you ask your SQL DBA to stand out, create Update script and incorporate it as regular (overnight) SQL job, we would like you to think about MRP and ERP auditing implications.  If this data alteration is not a concern, then, let’s go to the details:

1.       SOP work and historical invoices.  Please review the following GP tables: SOP10100 – this is Sales Order Processing Work Document Header and SOP30200 – this is respectively historical one

2.       Statement To Address.  When you create SOP document: Invoice, Quotation or Sales Order, you copy customer address from Statement To Address ID directly to SOP header table

3.       What happens if your customer moves and changes contact person.  Imagine scenario, when you send out customer invoice, then in a month from that date you realized that customer office moved to new location and they let old contact person and now they hired new warehouse manager.  In this scenario, you most likely would like to create Crystal Reports or probably even giving it lower profile – Smart List report in GP to reflect new address and new purchasing manager.  In some cases you would like to reprint historical sales documents with new customer address and contact person info.  All these routines are doable and all we need is simple SQL update statement, however again we would like you to evaluate auditing implication

4.       If you are positive to go ahead.  Please, contact our office via email or directly by our 866 number below

This model will give you a chiclet-style keyboard. Both the models feature an Intel Atom N450 processor and a new touchpad design.

This new touchpad will also support multi-touch gestures such as pinching to zoom and also two-finger scrolling. It also comes with a palm rejection feature that can shut off the touchpad temporarily while you are typing. There is also a new design on the bottom of the laptops that is instead of the usual access panels held in by screws, there is a single sheet covering the bottom. In fact you can remove the entire base of the computer.

Its features are:

• CPU: 1.66GHz Intel Atom N450 or 1.83GHz Intel Atom N470
• Chipset or Graphics: Mobile Intel NM10 chipset with integrated GMA 3150 graphics
• Its display is 10.1 inch, 1024 x 600 pixels
• The Operating System that it uses are Windows XP Home, Windows 7 Starter, SUE Linux Enterprise 11 or FreeDOS
• It has a memory of 1GB or maximum 2GB
• It can store 160GB.
• Connectivity: 802.11b/g/n, Ethernet, optional Bluetooth, 3G
• I/O: 3 USB, VGA, 5-in-1 media card reader, combo mic/headphone jack
• It has 3 cell battery, 28Whr or 6 cell, 62Whr
• Its dimensions is 10.55? x 7? x 0.9?
• It weights around 2.69 pounds with 3 cell battery.

The Mini 2102 will be available with Windows XP or Windows 7 Starter Editions which depends on which model you are purchasing. You will also get an “instant-on” desktop environment if you feel like getting online and checking your email or surfing on Internet in 10 seconds instead of waiting 45 seconds for Windows to boot.

HP is bundling its Cloud Drive online storage or synchronization service with HP Mini 2102. You will get 1GB of free online storage on Internet for life. It will show up as a drive in your Windows XP Explorer thus making it easy to drag and drop files to the cloud to back them up or for accessing them on other computers. These netbooks are available in black, silver, blue, and red colors.

I see some people recommending Malwarebytes as an antivirus solution.  Malwarebytes is not meant to be your only antivirus program, in fact, malwarebytes is not considered an antivirus program at all.  This line is from an admin on the official Malwarebytes forums:

“The majority of the research that goes into MBAM (malwarebytes) is based on what the Antivirus vendors are failing on most frequently.  This allows us to keep a smaller database and prevents conflicts with antivirus software. The only thing MBAM does not do is to unpatch system files as this is the job of your dedicated antivirus software. MBAM is designed to work along side your existing antivirus software, not conflict or compete with it.”Malwarebytes is designed to work WITH your antivirus software to plug the holes it is missing.  If you think you have a virus, you should look to a good antivirus program like AVG, Avast or Avira.  All of these programs offer a free version to home users.  You can search for them on Google or go to the download page below.  Don’t get the wrong idea, I love Malwarebytes and think it is an awesome program.  My tech friends and I have been using Malwarebytes for a long time and it works great as long as you use it as it was intended. The next time you see someone asking about which antivirus program they should use and the first poster recommends they use only malwarebytes, make sure you post next and let them know the error of their ways.

If you have any virus questions, feel free to stop by my website and get a Free Virus Scan and Removal. My webpage has links to FREE antivirus programs, reviews of the antivirus programs available and lots of helpful information to help you get over any virus or malware issues.

Here is a link to the official malwarebytes forum where the quote was taken from.

Business processes comprise of several accounting activities. They are transactions, related to amount payable and receivable, trial balance, pay roll, billing, general ledger, sales and purchase order, time sheet, debt collection etc. Accounting activities of a business venture can be divided under two heads. One is core accounting activities and the second is non core accounting activities. Amount payable and receivable, trial balance, billing and general ledger are the core accounting activities. Debt collection, payroll, sales and purchase order processing are non core accounting transactions. Accounting software packages offer distinct modules for each core and non-core accounting transaction.

The major benefit of accounting software packages is smarter, faster and error free accounting. Both free and paid accounting software packages are available in the market. For start-up business ventures and SMEs free packages help a lot. But, with increase in scale of operation, complexities of business processes increase. In such case free accounting software packages can not be that much helpful. You need to opt for paid versions.

There are two types of paid accounting software packages available in the market. One is off-the-shelf and other is custom accounting software. Off-the-shelf packages offer accounting solution that matches to the needs of a number of organizations. On the other hand, custom accounting software is designed keeping specific accounting requirements of a business venture in mind. It has higher customization capacity and compatibility to keep pace with the growth of your business. Compared to off-the-shelf packages, custom applications are costly. But they offer good value for money by offering exact and business specific accounting solutions.
