New PAN cards issued by Income Tax department
New PAN cards issued by the Income Tax department will cost Rs 105, including taxes.
New Delhi: New PAN cards issued by the Income Tax department will cost Rs 105, including taxes. The I-T department has recently notified new procedures for verifying personal and proprietary data of an individual or entity for allotment of new PAN cards.
The step, sources said, has been taken in order to weed out the problem of fake or multiple Permanent Account Number (PAN) cards.
"The cost of getting a new PAN card, including all taxes, is Rs 105. This service charge by-and-large has been kept unchanged. The new procedures of checking original documents for proving date of birth, address and identity have been brought in to check the complaints of fake PAN cards or multiple cards obtained by any entity," a senior I-T official said.
From February 3, the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) has notified that individuals or others wanting PAN will have to furnish copies of proof of identity, address and date of birth attached with their application forms and they will be checked against their original documents when applications are submitted at PAN facilitation centers.
While the original documents would be returned to applicants after on-the-spot verification, the applicant has to self-attest the photocopies.
The I-T department, in a number of cases, has found a number of individuals possessing multiple PAN cards or forging details to evade taxes and create 'benami' properties.
"The technology systems of the I-T department will now be made error-free and robust once PAN card data is entered as correctly as possible," the official said, adding that the new cards issued henceforth will feature the name and date of birth of the applicant and not the address details.
PAN is a 10-digit alphanumeric number allotted by the I-T department to taxpayers.

Buckingham Palace said in a statement Tuesday that she will cancel some events Wednesday and Thursday.
The 86-year-old monarch is recovering from a stomach bug she suffered last week. The illness led to a brief hospitalization, her first in a decade.
Officials say the monarch presented a poetry award on Tuesday, and will "continue with the usual rhythm of business at Buckingham Palace." But she is canceling two events on Wednesday and Thursday.
They say the queen hopes to resume engagements next week.
The queen had to cancel a visit to Rome, last week because she suffered from gastroenteritis, which causes vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea.

NY's Finger Lakes: big city thrills, mountain town charm
When you think of little towns in Appalachia, it's easy to make assumptions.
Tamar Fleishman 1:48 p.m., Dec. 16
"That's it," my husband, Ben said as he squeezed the last box into the truck before closing the camper shell. "That's all we can fit." We were finally leaving Texas and moving back to California to a town whose name we couldn't even pronounce – Guatay.
I found the ad for our new abode in the San Diego section of a popular online source for classified information. It showed a picture of a 1979 Airstream trailer, with its awning unfurled, parked in a setting that was surrounded by hills. "Trailor on privat poperty in Guatay," it said. "$365 per monts include water." I was met with skepticism as I showed Ben the printed page and declared that I had found the Shangri-La to where we would relocate.
It was January and freezing as we made the 1,300-mile trek from Austin, Texas to San Diego. Our Nissan pickup truck labored to climb the last 4,000 feet through the pass to the steep, narrow driveway of our final destination. Feeling as if we had just landed on another planet, we pulled into the narrow space by the Airstream and exhaled a loud sigh of relief.
We were barely out of the truck when we spotted a tiny woman madly waving and running towards us. She wore a brightly colored print skirt and combat boots with argyle knee socks that were visible above the footwear. She donned a Russian Cossack jacket over a man's sweater, and a large hat that sat on top of a ski cap and tied into a big bow under her chin. Her beady eyes darted back and forth as wisps of curly grey hair poked out of her cap and danced in the wind. Her name was Giselle and she was a former ballerina from Russia. At 80 years of age, she was still agile and graceful. We would find out later, she was also extremely nosey, pushy and outspoken.
"You don't have to stay here," she said, in a thick Russian accent. "Zees place may not be suitable for you." Ben and I shot a confused look at each other as we opened the camper shell to unpack.
"This will be fine," I answered while surveying my new home and its strange owner. "We were looking for an adventure," I said, forcing a smile.
Before my journey, I had envisioned Guatay, a town 43 miles east of San Diego that stands at an elevation of 4,000 ft., as a lush, romantic hideaway. Upon my arrival in mid-winter; however, what I found was a cold, desolate and frozen wasteland where I could hear the wildlife rustling in the bushes and the wind whipping through the sparse trees.
We unpacked quickly and collapsed into a heap inside the trailer. Aching and tired, we were anxious to get some rest. Unfortunately, rest was the last thing we would get that night.
The heater had stopped working. To assess the problem, Ben crawled under the console in front of the trailer and removed the fuse box (which wasn't supposed to be removable). Outside, the fierce wind blew so hard it shook the trailer and seeped through the fuse box hole, blasting us with a teeth-chattering draft. We were miserable.
The next morning we told Giselle about the heater. "I have zee electwic heetah," she responded. "I go get it." Minutes later she came scurrying down the little slope, which separated her home from the trailer pad, with a small, radiator-like electric heater. We plugged it into the outlet that evening and basked in the warmth. Just as we were toasty enough to finally peel off our parkas, the electricity abruptly stop flowing.
"When you use zee heetah, you can not use zee lights." Lights? We were only using a small night light so we could find our way to the bathroom in the darkness.
The following week we experienced an overflowing toilet, pilot lights refusing to ignite, a regurgitating bathtub, more propane problems, a leaking hot water heater and freezing water lines. Although annoying, these inconveniences paled in comparison to the inexplicable visions I was having of a tribal chief who was paying nocturnal visits to me on a regular basis.
I was sure the Airstream was parked on sacred ground – or haunted. Every night, somewhere between midnight and dawn, I would wake up from a sound sleep to see "the chief" as I called him, standing by my bed. He never said anything; just stared out the small window above me into the clear, starry sky. I didn't know if it was a dream, an apparition, or the pressure of being one notch above homeless causing me to go insane.
The first time he appeared, I screamed and he vanished. The next time, I wanted to get a better look at him, so I held my breath and merely trembled in my sleeping bag. He was tall and muscular, with graying hair pulled back into a braid. He wore fringed buckskin and had a full headdress adorned with elaborate feathers and beads. He was very handsome – fairer than the stereotypical Native American. His blue crescent-shaped eyes matched the soft, early morning sky. His sanguine skin stretched over high cheekbones and curved into his full lips that formed a slightly lopsided grin above his well-defined chin.
"What do you want?" I asked. No answer. "What is your message?" I thought by using the word, "message" it sounded more spiritual and he would respond. Still no answer. "Who are you?" Silence.
After about a month, I told Ben about the chief. Ben wasn't interested. He was still having his own issues with the fuse box – and now, exorbitant electric bills. Giselle had presented us with a $150 invoice resulting from the use of the electric heater (along with a $50 bill for the collective trash we hauled down the hill every week and a $25 bill to access her Direct TV).
My nightly visions consisted of seeing Ben's bare posterior sticking out of the trailer's console while he jiggled fuses; and a mute tribal chief staring out of the window by my bed.
Hi. my name is Alexis and I lived in Guatay for 5 years and YES THERE IS A CHIEF and on the top of Guatay mountain is an Indian burrial ground. The chief is burried on the top of the mountain.If you go to the top there is a circle of rocks around him and you must turn around 5 times and jump in, the last one to jump in will be cursed. Me and my cusins went too many time to count and each time we went we jumped in and each time the last one in had something happen to them. I lived in a little red houseright before you come into the town of Guatay. I could see the ACE Hardware sign from my porch. LOVED YOUR BLOG.
My goodness. Where to start?
First, Bohemianopus, this was a great read. I'm sorry I missed it back in July, and am glad that 172astrong has revived it, appropriately enough, on Columbus Day -- which was just being discussed on another blog, right over here:
Second, thanks to Alexis for the timeliness of her comment.
Some serendipitous synchronicity, indeed. :)
Wow, what a great thread, wish she would come back to blog some more!!
me 2....love ur stuff lady day!!!
and i wish u'd come on back 2 landshark ;-D
wow. just found this blog. My father and his friend developed the campground from virgin territory in the early 70's and we lived in the double-wides they had brought in on the mesa up back after all the junk cars were removed. They swore the land was haunted due to the numerous unexplained mishaps, water line breaks, etc. that occurred. Love the line about rattlesnakes. As I recall, the land was infested with Western Diamondback rattlers and scorpions. Our Dads killed quite a few up close either w/shovels or chains off the backhoe. All that topped off with a bobcat outside the door one morning. Good times.

TH400 wiring
Hello everyone, in my Malibu prerunner project I chose to run a TH400 and I've started the wiring and would like to hook up the electronic kick down to a micro switch on the pedal. Some people say they don't use it and some say it's a mess without it so to be safe I'm going to wire it in. My question is does anyone know exactly how to wire it in? Or to confirm that there is 1 12v hot lead to the switch that is activated when the micro switch has contact then sends the 12v signal to the transmission? Also I'm going to attempt to wire it into the fuse box for a clean look.
Thank you !

Hundreds of games before. Hundreds since. None I've witnessed matches. Perhaps none will.
Duke 104, Kentucky 103.
March 28, 1992.
To riff off the Beatles: It was 20 years ago today, Christian Laettner caught the pass for K.
It was a Saturday night in South Philadelphia, where the Blue Devils and Wildcats traded haymakers like that city's most renowned heavyweights: Joe Frazier and Rocky Balboa.
Their fight was fierce and sublime.
I remember. Comrade Dave Fairbank and I were there.
Funny thing is, the anticipation for this NCAA East Regional final was tame.
No matter that Duke and Kentucky were the top two seeds and had clashed in...

WASHINGTON – The undefeated Gallaudet University football team needed a spark in the fourth quarter to break through a defensive stalemate between Husson University in a showdown of the top two teams in the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC). The Bison defense caused four turnovers on Husson's final four possessions in the fourth and sophomore Chase Magsig (Hudsonville, Mich.) booted home a 26-yard field goal with 3:09 left in regulation as the Bison celebrated a 16-13 homecoming victory before 3,023 at Hotchkiss Field.
The Bison (7-0, 4-0 ECFC) continue its best start in program history and increased their winning streak to nine games dating back to last season.
Gallaudet, who entered the game leading Division III in rushing, was held to a season low 166 yards on the ground and only tallied 260 yards of offense. Husson senior defensive tackle Ernest Wiggins (six tackles) was a difference maker as the Bison had trouble running up the middle against a strong defensive line.
Sophomore quarterback Todd Bonheyo (Frederick, Md.) finished the game 3-for-7 for 94 yards and one touchdown, a 42-yard pass to his older brother Ryan Bonheyo (Frederick, Md.) midway through the first quarter as GU led 6-0. Todd finished with 28 rushing yards on 16 carries while Ryan chalked up 46 yards on eight attempts.
Husson senior tailback Byron Jackson became the first 100-yard rusher against the Bison defense this season as he recorded 111 yards on 16 carries. Jackson tied the game with a 1-yard run at the 5:18 mark in the first quarter. His game-high 64-yard run, two plays prior, set-up the Eagles (4-3, 3-1 ECFC) score and knotted the game at six.
The Bison put together their longest drive of the game, nine plays and 68 yards, at the end of the first and through the start of the second quarter. A key reverse 18-yard run by freshman Chris Papacek (Cuero, Texas) got the Bison down to the Husson 1-yard line. Sophomore Braxton Baker (Webb City, Mo.) capped the drive with the 1-yard touchdown to the upper left corner of the end zone. Baker also had two receptions for 52 yards in the game.
GU started a drive, just under three minutes before halftime, and sophomore running back BJ Flores (Raymondville, Texas) fumbled on the first play at the Gallaudet 22. Flores led the Bison with 63 rushing yards on 19 carries. On the next play, Husson used a double reverse to Shabashe McIntosh, who scampered up the middle to the end zone, and tie the game once more as the teams went into intermission.

It's not too late. If you haven't done any Christmas baking to date, there's still time to make a batch of everyone's favourite -- shortbread. Making shortbread is incredibly easy and the basic ingredients -- butter, sugar and flour -- are usually on hand.
For the past few weeks, we hung up our aprons and talked with our readers at the many Christmas craft shows about town.
While promoting our new soup cookbook at these delightful gift shows, we were frequently asked what our favourite shortbread recipe is. We decided then and there that it would be timely to give you our favourite traditional recipe, along with a few variations.
Bar none, this all-time favourite cookie recipe is a classic, but the versatile dough lends itself beautifully to many contemporary ingredients and flavour variations.
This popular cookie adds cornstarch to the basic shortbread ingredients, resulting in the well-loved, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
We also went a step further and created three variations: a fiery ginger version using Australian crystallized ginger, a robust combination of espresso and bittersweet chocolate, and a delicately aromatic vanilla bean version.
Look for interesting cookie cutters. We settled on an eye-catching snowflake, a perfect square, a classic fluted round and a fluted rectangle (perfect for chocolate dipping).
When arranged on a platter, the different shapes and flavours complement one another well and look smashing -- like you've been baking for weeks.
Go ahead and serve these fabulously buttery, tender shortbread with a flute of champagne, a glass of sherry or a strong cup of coffee or tea.
Ruth Phelan and Brenda Thompson
31/4 cups (800 mL) all-purpose flour
3/4 cup (175 mL) cornstarch
2 cups (500 mL) butter, at room temperature
1 cup (250 mL) icing sugar
Adapt the flavour and shape of these extra tender, melt-in-the-mouth shortbread cookies to suit. The addition of vanilla bean seeds, instant espresso powder or crystallized ginger to the dough updates this traditional recipe. Instead of a round cookie cutter, try a snowflake, square or rectangular cookie cutter to give a new look to these festive treats. The number of cookies and baking time will vary slightly depending on the size of the cookie cutter.
In medium bowl, whisk together flour and cornstarch. In large bowl, beat butter and icing sugar until fluffy. Gradually stir in flour mixture and mix until dough can be just gathered into a ball.
On lightly floured surface, knead lightly until dough forms a smooth ball. Divide dough in half. Press each half into a round, about 3/4-inch (2 cm) thick. Wrap each round in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
On lightly floured surface, roll dough out until about 3/8-inch (1 cm) thick. Cut into 13/4-inch (4.5 cm) rounds with cookie cutter. Place, 2 inches (5 cm) apart, on ungreased rimless baking sheet and prick each round twice with fork. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Bake at 300 F (150 C) for 25 to 30 minutes or until pale golden on bottom and edges. Transfer cookies to rack and let cool.
Makes about 54 cookies.

Vanilla Bean Snowflake variation: Put 1 tablespoon (15 mL) granulated sugar in small bowl. With sharp knife, cut 1 vanilla bean lengthwise in half. Scrape out seeds from inside of both halves and stir into granulated sugar. Put mixture through fine sieve set over small bowl and stir to disperse the vanilla seeds. Cut vanilla bean halves into small pieces and stir into granulated sugar. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap and set aside overnight. When ready to use, remove vanilla bean pieces from sugar. After beating butter and icing sugar together, beat in vanilla sugar. Continue with recipe. Cut into snowflake shapes using a 3-inch (8 cm) cookie cutter. Continue with recipe. Makes about 36 cookies.
Ginger Square variation: After beating butter and icing sugar together, add 3/4 cup (175 mL) finely chopped crystallized ginger (preferably Australian ginger); stir until evenly distributed. Continue with recipe. Cut into squares using 2-inch (5 cm) square cookie cutter. After placing squares on baking sheet, put about 1/4 teaspoon (1 mL) finely chopped crystallized ginger in centre of each square. Using fingertips, lightly press ginger. Continue with recipe. Makes about 36 cookies.
Espresso Chocolate Finger variation: Whisk 4 teaspoons (20 mL) instant espresso powder into flour and cornstarch mixture. Continue with recipe. Cut into rectangles using 3x11/2-inch (8x4 cm) cookie cutter. Continue with recipe.
Dip about one-third of one end of each cooled baked cookie into melted chocolate; place on wax-paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15 minutes or until chocolate is set. Makes about 38 cookies.
Note: To melt chocolate, put 6 ounces (170 g) chopped bittersweet chocolate and 1 teaspoon (5 mL) vegetable oil in heatproof bowl set over saucepan of hot, not simmering, water until chocolate is about three-quarters melted (the water should not touch the bottom of the bowl), stirring occasionally. Remove bowl from saucepan and continue stirring until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Vanilla beans are available at specialty food stores: Look for beans that are still moist and pliable and avoid ones that are stiff or completely dried out.
- Buy Australian crystallized ginger -- it's darker in colour and has a more peppery flavour than the thinner, paler slices of crystallized ginger that are heavily coated with coarse sugar.
- If the instant espresso powder you buy is granular instead of a powder, rub granules between fingertips to form a powder.
- For best results, use premium quality chocolate for dipping shortbread -- it's smoother, easier to melt and has a superior taste.
- To store the shortbread, layer cookies between sheets of wax paper in an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 1 week or place in a freezer plastic container and freeze for up to 1 month. To thaw cookies, remove from freezer and let stand in their sealed container until at room temperature.

Small Town Claim To Fame - new Salem, North Dakota - The World's Largest Holstein Cow
The Small Town: Salem. North Dakota Population 946
The Claim To Fame: Salem Sue - The World's Largest Holstein Cow
I'm pretty sure that Johnny Cash had a song about a cow named Sue. I could be wrong, but I rarely am. Those that have seen Sue know that she is well worth singing about. Of all of the oversized roadside attractions in North Dakota, she is the largest. Measuring in at a whopping 38 feet tall and 50 feet long, she is larger than any of the other large turtles or fish or buffalos that the state has to offer. She is visible for miles around and, when standing at her hooves, one gets a wonderful view of the surrounding North Dakota countryside.
Her promoters claim that she is the world's largest Holstein cow. Fake cow anyway. I've done a little research and believe they might be missing out on a golden opportunity to claim that she is simply the world's largest cow of any breed. I've Googled the heck out of it and, for the life of me, I can't find a larger cow of any sort on the planet earth. And we all know that if you can't find it Googling it, it doesn't exist.
Here's a nice video of Sue.
Sue is, as I said, a fake cow. I starting wondering how big the world's largest real cow is. I know this blog entry is about Sue and I don't mean to steal her thunder, but my mind gets wandering and, if I want to talk about real cows, I can. It's my blog. You're free to stop reading at any time.
The world's TALLEST real cow is Chili, a black and white Friesian bullock that weighs well over a ton and stands 6 feet 6 inches tall. Chili ---à http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BSzLd-ayUs
The world's LARGEST or heaviest cow was a Chianina bull from Italy named Donetto that weighed in at an amazing 3840 pounds.

thanks little nicky
feeling about wheezy this morning; how about you - did you feel wheezy the day after?
get well :0
well you have to ask peter pan cuz he's the only admin to this site. im on your idea tho... it needs to be livened up and the topic part needs some fixing!
its a really lame design, big time. i already had two wisdom teeth removed and it took 2 seconds, i felt nothing. this one was a "special" tooth that required a specialist. i was suppose to get it removed 5 months ago but the specialist never called me back... i waited, and now it turned into an infection where ive been stuck in a hospital bed with a needle in my arm. i have lock jaw and stuff, its hell dude. i hope its gone tomorrow.. we will see.
well i changed too since i joined...at least we can all stay together and discuss our ideas in one place. wisdom teeth removal isn't bad, it's when you wait too long like i did. i might be having surgery tomorrow, not looking forward to it but i am looking forward to living again. so much pain and agony, just get yours out while u are still young so you don't suffer. not getting it removed could actual become a life threatening situation.
hes back, hopefully back to the LF side and away from the syrian/ha.
you are like a yo yo system, but at least you know who you are really are :0
funniest thing was when whatwhat replied to whocares lol.

What is ExpressJS?
Express is a minimal and flexible node.js web application framework, providing a robust set of features for building single and multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
What is Sails.js?
Sails is designed to mimic the MVC pattern of frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the requirements of modern apps: data-driven APIs with scalable, service-oriented architecture.
What is Colossus?
Colossus is a lightweight framework for building high-performance applications in Scala that require non-blocking network I/O. In particular Colossus is focused on low-latency stateless microservices where often the service is little more than an abstraction over a database and/or cache. For this use case, Colossus aims to maximize performance while keeping the interface clean and concise.

Express.js is the workhorse of the Cloudcraft.co backend. It's not the most exciting part of a stack, but it works, is very well documented, and you can find a plugin for almost everything you could possibly want. We also carefully evaluated Koa.js, but decided not to go down this route: fewer plugins, less documentation & answers online. I'm also not personally convinced by the generators yield syntax at all. ES7 async functions looks like a much better bet, and with Promises and Babel I can have that already today.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Lindsay from Perfect versatile top! I got in xl white and it fits superb! Love that it has built in shelf to hold you in and can easily be dressed up or down. I got with the 25% off so it was so worth it! I like the length as it is not too short or long. Great summer essential top for pairing with maxi skirts or with a light weight kimono cover up for a more sophisticated look. I would love to see in more colors for summer!

Rated 5 out of 5 by DDoll from Nice! Purchased this purse because I really needed a silver one for certain outfits. It is exactly as pictured, cute and eye catching enough to add a little extra something to an outfit. Great size for the basics for a night on the town. My only concern is if it might snag some of my more delicate dresses or tops. Wont know until I use it with one of those outfits, but I really am hoping it wont.

Rated 5 out of 5 by cdarls from Great top, very sexy and versatile! I highly recommend this top. Bought it in an XXS, I prefer my tops to be very fitted. Looks great with a paid of jeans. i recently wore it with a high waisted skirt and got tons of compliments.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MsLolaGrace from Feels great on This top is sexy. Made from quality material & feels good on. I like the length of it, slightly longer than average. It hugs my body, great support, didn't need a bra w/ this shirt. I didn't feel like it my cleavage was too exposed for my preference as another reviewer but I'm wearing this out at night.

At 5:17 a.m. an EF-3 tornado with winds of up to 155 miles per hour touched down at 11042 Staghorne Drive in Coaling in Tuscaloosa County. The twister traveled for 18.3 miles and lost strength near 7400 Old Tuscaloosa Hwy in McCalla in Jefferson County.
Wednesday afternoon, Fox 6 reported that two trees fell on University Boulevard on the University of Alabama campus, both blocking roadways. Downed trees and damage was reported in the towns of Buhl, Samantha, Coalville and Duncanville.
In Vance, high winds damaged the Mercedes-Benz plant, and a tractor trailer at the entrance of the plant was pushed to its side. In the Magnolia Springs area of Vance, five houses were destroyed.
In McCalla, several trees were downed. Several homes in the Woodland Lake Subdivision received damage from falling trees.
After this early round of storms, Alabama Power reported that about 245,000 businesses and home were without electricity.
This was the third time West Alabama had been hit by severe weather in the past month, however, it was only a hint of what was to come later that day, when an EF-4 tornado traveled for 80 miles, destroying nearly everything in its path.

Ambassador Cam, #3
Ambassador Hotel, 9/28/2005, 10:05 a.m.
Still slow going at the Ambassador demolition site, which is why we're pacing out our coverage of the hotel's demise. (We've heard from several of you though, and promise to update you more frequently in the coming weeks.)
I'm assuming the lengthy tear down has to do with all of the toxic materials likely found in the asbestos-riffic building. (I heard at the auction earlier this month that several hotel fixtures couldn't be sold because of contamination fears.) As you can see above, the center steeple has been almost completely torn down at this point, and the roof tiles continue to disappear. More to come...

EMR and Meaningful Use Books
John Lynn is the Founder of the HealthcareScene.com blog network which currently consists of 10 blogs containing over 8000 articles with John having written over 4000 of the articles himself. These EMR and Healthcare IT related articles have been viewed over 16 million times. John also manages Healthcare IT Central and Healthcare IT Today, the leading career Health IT job board and blog. John is co-founder of InfluentialNetworks.com and Physia.com. John is highly involved in social media, and in addition to his blogs can also be found on Twitter: @techguy and @ehrandhit and LinkedIn.
I must admit that I'm not much of a book guy. Especially since there's so much free information available on the internet about just about any subject you could want. However, I've been quite intrigued by the number of healthcare IT related books that I've seen coming out of late. Here's a quick roundup of some of the ones I've seen.
Getting to Meaningful Use and Beyond: A Guide for IT Staff in Health Care by Fred Trotter and David Uhlman – I've been a big fan of Fred Trotter for a while. So, I'm glad he's working on this book. Turns out the book isn't even published, but in Fred Trotter open source style fashion, the book is available for free online right now. Of course, they're hoping you'll provide feedback.
The HITECH Act Made Easy: A Simple Guide to the Federal EHR Incentive Programs – I had this book sent to me. It's a short book which I think is good. It tries to tackle not only the details of the Medicaid and Medicare stimulus program, but also has a number of sections on EHR selection and implementation as well. I love it's question format where many of the chapters are a question and the chapter offers the answer.
Health Information Exchange Formation Guide: The Authoritative Guide for Planning and Forming an HIE in Your State, Region or Community – I haven't really had a chance to dig into this book yet. It's brought to you by HIMSS. It's a pretty thick book which I think describes well the challenge that is forming an HIE. Without reading the book, I'm a little torn just by the subtitle of the book, "The Authoritative Guide for Planning and Forming an HIE in your State, Region or Community." I guess it's hard for me to imagine it being the "authoritative guide" when I think we're still trying to figure out the right HIE business model. I don't think we've found it yet. I guess I should read the book to find out.
Jim Tate's EHR Incentive Roadmap – Ok, this is an e-Book, but I think it's as good a value as any hard cover book. So, it's worth mentioning. I wrote a whole post on Jim Tate's EHR Incentive book before.
Any other books about EMR, Meaningful Use, and/or healthcare IT that are out that we should know about?

Hmmm. This topic, again. Perhaps I should turn off the pesky verification...ReplyDelete
I'm glad it's not just me. I have begun to think that I am a figment of my own imagination, as most blogs pretend they haven't seen my comment while swallowing it whole.ReplyDelete
It starts to feel personal after awhile!
I am deeply familiar with the inside of a lot of spam bins.
I agree with all you say on your erstwhile post.
I especially love 7 year olds , i have experience in this regard as my tree of the same name attests..ReplyDelete
a 7 year old once said to me , " i love spring , i love winter ,i love autumn and i love summer "
My best loved blogs come up (in response to a complicated keyboard code) on a page called Top Sites. The rest are visited in darling old fashioned bookmarks. I am not a Follower and hope that no one will hold this against me. The Followers do not by and large (see the added gravitas that puzzling phrase confers), comment.ReplyDelete
The verb to follow has taken on a whole new meaning in this time of social media has it not?ReplyDelete
Word verification in my experience is completely unnecessary. Never had it, never had spambots.

Sommeone recently told me that she had "unfriended" me on Ravelry .... I told her that was ok, I would unfriend me too, my page is so boring!!ReplyDelete
This new word verification is a pain in the backside - I always leave a comment on my fsvourite blogs (but I don't "follow", I just have a list that I go through each evening).
The word verification thingies are driving me nuts. It takes me about 3 or 4 goes to leave a comment these days.ReplyDelete
No apologies required. We realise this is a public service announcement...and are grateful. I will be nominating you for a Service to Blogging award once it gets the royal nod... It will be a little keyboard medallion with pastel pink ribbon and you may even get a title. xxReplyDelete
I'm famous! And all I had to do was complain. Mise--that is a stellar post, and should be required reading for all bloggers.ReplyDelete
Unfortunately I cannot see the ohoto of Pink Daughter--our internet is so slow in the Catskills that pictures do not upload. But I look forward to seeing it next week.
Wordpress. And, or, Word Press!ReplyDelete
I've had no end of troubles with word verification for the past couple of weeks. I think it's a plot by someone somewhere to do something to me, but I haven't the foggiest what. I'm going to take your advice, Mise, and try turning mine off to see what happens. If a pox falls on my bloghouse, I'll turn it back on again.ReplyDelete
Sometimes, when I type the words correctly, I feel clever and capable (even if my proffered comment isn't all that,) and I like that feeling.ReplyDelete
Word verification deactivated here ... a highly recommended theraputic action, more satisfying than popping bubble wrap ;DReplyDelete
So true then and now. Really, most of us are so desperate for feedback that we are grateful when a spammer finds us.ReplyDelete
Also, I always find subliminal messages in the "random" choice of letters for verification, which leads me to believe the tool is both sentient and rude.
I have to tell you.... Blogger does not like me. I have tried to comment unsuccessfully several times... I always feel like, perhaps, there is a little switch that you can click on your end that is for 'oh no, not that bothersome one again' and it turns my comments into a tail spin. I dwell on this for days...and then I try again. And again. And again.... Until I catch a moment of time where the gatekeepers are entertaining .... And one comment slips by....ReplyDelete
I've had to turn the verication thingy on and off (it's off now) several times due to people having trouble leaving comments...and I've had to have the pop-up comment box every now and again too. It's all so tricky...ReplyDelete
Hoping the small furniture will have a few more years (or at least months) left as a part of the family!
xo J~
I am grateful for your illumination of the bloggosphere. My son is turning 7 and our little chairs are woefully outdated. I havent't replaced them, though, because I think they look great. So he stands when he works at his desk. froGs Brea tH h UshReplyDelete
I wish this new word verification would go away, I have been having awful problems since it turned up a few days ago on my Photography blog! Yey my blogs are set NOT to have word verification and have been for ages, even little badges to inform my readers!! I just cannot get rid of it and I know it puts people off commenting, so any ideas would be much appreciated. Apologies for the rant here, but your post today touched a raw nerve. :(ReplyDelete
I don't use word verification on my blog...but then I do get lots of spammers:(ReplyDelete
Happy Blogging!

Do you believe in ghost ? In my opinion I think I don't believe in the ghost. In the meaning of the ghost, in my opinion I think it is some kind of phenomenon that can not prove in scientific method. The ghost is different from the soul. The soul is the form of human being after dead. The souls will com out of the body after you stop breathing (I mean you die). In the scientific method we can explain the meaning of the soul in the way of the energies that exist in the world. You don't know where the soul is. Because nobody knows what's the soul look like? Or how does the soul know itself that it's a dead guy? Except you kill yourself and find the answer if you really want to know what it is.

I think ghost usually appears in a location where a person might have spent a great deal of their time such as a house,restuarant could become haunted by the ghost. Simply because the ghost might come back to check in once in a while to see loved ones or other reasons.And i also believe that the phenomenon called 'ghost haunt' can be exist. In our muscular systems ,we know we have a reflect action system called 'Reflect arc'. This system will reflect when there is something touch our muscles.And also in our brain , it will generate whatever coming into it as a brain wave.So that our brain can be reflected by what we have seen. I think this is a good reason we can see the ghost. Surroundings,light intensity, a bad smell in a place might cause our brain to generate some images so scary. We can say that the most possible place to see the ghost is the place where had a death,accident or suicide.Our brain will be quickly reflected by those that's why we usually see the ghost in the place like that ! I agree that not everybody can see the ghost.Only the one who has a frequency of brain wave ,which a part of it produced by the oscillation of the organales in our brain called ' crystal ' , exactly resonant with the ghost's electromagnetic waves frequency . We can say that the ghost is a kind of wave because the ghost can transmit an energy.That's why most parents can see a died son because they are the same bloodlines and the son's genes was generated by parents sexual cells.Their mind system is quite same. So that when the son died, an energy is released. This can be said as waves. Becuase of their mind system is quite same,the frequency of the son's electromagnetic waves has the highest percent to resonant with his parents brain's wave frequency making them see their son.And in other case , most of people can see the loved one who was dead because of the above reason .

I interested in story about the ghost at the long times. I would like to know this story in your opinion too. I think people have different idea with this topic. Someone believes that because most of Thai cultures are relate to ghost, someone believes that because their parent tell them and someone believes that because they ever seen it before. However, some of them dont believes that because they never seen it before and a few of them dont sure that. So somebody would like to know about the ghost. They will go to everywhere that they believe that it has the ghost for the truth. In my opinion, I believe that ghost is unreal but I think soul is real because I listen to people about the ghost. Sometimes I would like to see the real ghost but I scare it too. I think that after they went to everywhere to see it I don't know they can find it or not. I would like to tell you that If you don't believe you shouldn't make to disdainfully. And you?. Do you believe in the ghost? Good luck! Bye.

Hey there Taiboku~
I am Synsarria, Assassin Game Master. It will be a pleasure to address your concerns.
I'm truly sorry for any trouble this issue has caused you thusfar. I totally understand how frustrating it is when things won't cooperate when you just want to play! You're not asking for much right? Just smooth sailing. We totally agree! With that said, I want to thank you for being so cool about this and hanging in there with us.
The thing about this issue is that it's been affecting other players across the board-- you're definitely not alone. So with bugs like this that are on our end, what we need to do is figure out one big fix that will smooth the issue once and for all. This can take some time, I'm afraid.
The process all starts with reports like yours though, so we can't thank you enough for taking the time to let us know that you've encountered this as well. What I'm going to do is send a report to our Quality Assurance guys on your behalf, which will then go right up the chain to our developers so that they can plan a fix.
Because we can't give an estimated time as to when the developers can fix an issue like this, I recommend keeping an eye on the forums where any and all updates regarding the issue will be posted. You can find them here: <<http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/>>
When going over this situation, it appears that you should be able to enter a raid and it might work as theres been several reports of that fixing it for players. Make sure you login to the character that you wanted it on. ^_^

When you do a Google search on NARA - Kansas City, the top hit is a sushi restaurant. But for genealogists, NARA in Kansas City means the National Archives and Records Administration.
Lori Cox-Paul, Director of Archival Operations at NARA Kansas City, opened the Midwest Family History Expo with a keynote address sharing information about many of the services NARA makes available to genealogists.
Start by exploring the NARA web site for the central plains states. The Kansas City location houses records from Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri. There are also a few records from North Dakota and South Dakota. This repository of the National Archives moved to a new location about a year ago and is now located near Union Station in downtown Kansas City.
Records available at the Kansas City location are all Federal government records. They house homestead records, military records, naturalization records, tax records - these are just a few of the many record groups available through online indexes.
Begin exploring the web site on the Research Tools page. The quickest way to find information on your ancestor is to type a surname in the Search box at the top of any page. After the Midwest Family History Expo, I plan to explore this site further for my ancestors who, fortunately, lived in Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. I'm hoping to locate some information on those elusive Long Lost Relatives right here in Kansas City!

LAURINBURG, N.C. – For the 11th consecutive time the Coker women's basketball lost to a Conference Carolinas opponent, this time it was a 81-69 loss to St. Andrews Presbyterian College on Wednesday night. The loss drops the Lady Cobras to 2-17 overall and 1-13 in the conference, while the Lady Knights improved to 2-14 overall and 1-12 in the conference with the win.
Coker clung to a marginal one point lead after the first half, 34-33, but a 48 point outburst by St. Andrews in the second half led the Knights to their first Conference Carolinas victory of the season. To make the win even more impressive St. Andrews did it with just six players.
The Lady Cobras were not without their share of impressive performances on the night as Henna Koponen (Vantaa, Finland) and Kiesha Beavers (Williamstown, N.J.) each cracked the 20 point mark with Koponen netting a team high 22 points and Beavers dropping in 20 points. Beavers also dished out a team high five assists, while Jasmine Alston (Sumter, S.C.) pulled down a game high 11 rebounds.
St. Andrews had four of their six players reach double digit points, with Megan Lee scoring a game high 28 points, while Brittany Roberts had a double-double of 10 points and 10 rebounds. Kayla Hay put 18 points in the basket, followed by Jaquese Smith with 12 points and eight assists. Essence Chism came up just shy of the double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds.
Coker returns home for their next game on Saturday, Feb. 6, as they host Converse College in a 2:00 p.m. match-up, while St. Andrews travels to Banner Elk, N.C. to take on Lees-McRae.

All News Releases By Date
EPA Awards $400,000 to Assess Fall River, Mass.
Release Date: 08/17/2012
Contact Information: Paula Haschig, 617-918-1027
(Boston, Mass. – August 17, 2012) EPA is providing two Brownfields assessment grants, totaling $400,000, to Fall River. One grant will be used to assess Hazardous Substance contaminated sites and the other will be used to assess Petroleum contaminated sites. The goal of these assessments is to lead to the clean up & sustainable redevelopment of Brownfields sites, thus improving the economy and quality of life in the City.The funding is part of more than $17 million in EPA Brownfields investments across the six New England states announced by EPA.
The assessment grant funds will be used to determine the contamination of the property located at the corner of Bedford and High Street. The site is a former police station that has been vacant for 15 years. Establishing the level of contamination will enable the City to redevelop the land and revitalize the community.
"EPA Brownfields funding helps strengthen the economic foundation and is a catalyst for further growth in our communities," said Curt Spalding, regional administrator of EPA New England's office. "Cleaning and revitalizing contaminated sites helps create jobs, and can help a community to create new businesses and neighborhood centers, while making our environment cleaner and the community healthier."
"The Commonwealth of Massachusetts considers itself fortunate to have received $6.75 million of the $69.3 million in Brownfields assessment/cleanup grants and revolving loan funds (RLF) awarded nation-wide by the Environmental Protection Agency earlier this year. This dollar amount represents nearly 10 percent of the overall funds and is far and away the highest total of any state," said EEA Undersecretary for Environment Philip Griffiths. "We congratulate the City of Fall River on their $400,000 community-wide assessment grant and look forward to continuing to work with the City and our state and federal partners through not only the assessment of these contaminated parcels but also their eventual cleanup and redevelopment."
Since the beginning of EPA's Brownfields Program, in New England alone EPA has awarded 296 assessment grants totaling $72.7 million, 62 revolving loan fund grants and supplemental funding totaling $68.4 million and 213 cleanup grants totaling $47 million. These grant funds have paved the way for more than $1.45 billion in public and private cleanup and redevelopment investment and for 9,756 jobs in assessment, cleanup, construction and redevelopment on over 2200 sites across New England.
Nationally, the figures are impressive: As of August 2012, EPA's Brownfields assistance has leveraged more than $18.3 billion in cleanup and redevelopment funding from a variety of public and private sources and helped create approximately 76,500 jobs. More than 18,500 properties have been assessed, and over 750 properties have been cleaned up. These investments and jobs target local, under-served and economically disadvantaged neighborhoods – places where environmental cleanups and new jobs are most needed.
