Within the field of cardiology the technological advances have really been astounding, and many of them driven by computer technology, imaging technologies, ways of looking at the heart, the heart arteries, blood flow, without having to necessarily put catheters into the body or to do procedures that might be riskier. And these techniques have led to a very consistent decline in death and disability from heart disease over time.
Certainly there's a whole spectrum of different cardiac conditions, but many of them have in common the fact that lifestyle modifications — the patients own behavior — can have a real impact in helping to treat or slow the progression of the disease. And I enjoy interacting with patients about the kind of lifestyle changes they can make to help themselves. It gives you a sense of empowerment. It gives them a sense of empowerment in taking control of their own lives. And that's a very rewarding aspect of the specialty.

You know what's better than going to music festivals elsewhere? Going to music festivals down the street from you. This kind of change will boost me from a $10 a day budget to one of at least $11.75, which is okay since I can walk home and drink in my gloriously nearby rathole apartment at my leisure. Okay, okay, so it's no SXSW. It's smaller. It's more intimate. And did GZA perform all of 'Liquid Swords' at SXSW? I don't think so (but I'm not 100% sure on that, so don't quote me).
Without further adieu, here are some things I'd like to do:

Teaching About Genetic Testing Issues in the Undergraduate Classroom: A Case Study.
Summary of "Teaching About Genetic Testing Issues in the Undergraduate Classroom: A Case Study."
Educating undergraduates about current genetic testing and genomics can involve novel and creative teaching practices. The higher education literature describes numerous pedagogical approaches in the laboratory designed to engage science and liberal arts students. Often these experiences involve students analyzing their own genes for various polymorphisms, some of which are associated with disease states such as an increased risk for developing cancer. While the literature acknowledges possible ethical ramifications of such laboratory exercises, authors do not present recommendations or rubrics for evaluating whether or not the testing is, in fact, ethical. In response, we developed a laboratory investigation and discussion which allowed undergraduate science students to explore current DNA manipulation techniques to isolate their p53 gene, followed by a dialogue probing the ethical implications of examining their sample for various polymorphisms. Students never conducted genotyping on their samples because of ethical concerns, so the discussion served to replace actual genetic testing in the class. A basic scientist led the laboratory portion of the assignment. A genetic counselor facilitated the discussion, which centered around existing ethical guidelines for clinical genetic testing and possible challenges of human genotyping outside the medical setting. In their final papers, students demonstrated an understanding of the practice guidelines established by the genetics community and acknowledged the ethical considerations inherent in p53 genotyping. Given the burgeoning market for personalized medicine, teaching undergraduates about the psychosocial and ethical dimensions of human gene testing seems important and timely, and introduces an additional role genetic counselors can play in educating consumers about genomics.

Shallow-water blackout is a condition that renders a victim unconscious in the first couple of feet of water while using a closed-circuit oxygen breathing apparatus. It usually results when an inexperienced swimmer or snorkeler takes multiple deep breaths to increase the time that he/she can spend underwater, and hyperventilates. The medical explanation for shallow-water blackout is highly technical. In simple terms, this condition is the result of purging the body of carbon dioxide–the stimulus that causes the brain to recognize …

Updates from the TN Council on Developmental Disabilities
Expect Employment: Report to the Governor from the Employment First Task Force
On September 16th, Governor Haslam announced the completion of the Employment First Task Force report. The report provides an overview of progress made in expanding integrated and competitive employment for people with disabilities over the past year while outlining a set of goals to pursue over the next year. The task force members include representatives from the Departments of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, Human Services/Vocational Rehabilitation, Labor and Workforce Development, Education, Mental Health, TennCare, the Council on Developmental Disabilities, Vanderbilt Kennedy Center, Disability Law & Advocacy Center, service providers, family members and self advocates, and other disability advocacy groups.
*Check out our new issue of Breaking Ground!
Please also visit our Breaking Ground archive to view past issues of our publication
The TN Council and the Department of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (DIDD) were selected in 2013 to participate along with 6 other states in a national 'Community of Practice' to think, learn and strategize about the next generation of services and supports for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
Participating states/districts in the "Supporting Families Community of Practice:
As this project moves forward, the Council and DIDD will be working together to educate Tennesseans about this major intiative and priority in our state. It is a priority for us to hear from family members, individuals with disabilities, and other advocates to inform our activities and priorities of this project. We are asking families and self-advocates to help us learn about the following...
The Council and DIDD distribute a monthly e-newsletter highlighting different core values and concepts of the "Supporting Families" framework each month - you can sign up for that e-newsletter here or email email@example.com to be added to our mailing list.
More tools, resources and information related to the Supporting Families project:
You can also stay updated by "liking" the Supporting Families Facebook page, visiting the project's homepage and the Tennessee state page at supportstofamilies.org or contacting the Council at 615-532-5368 or email@example.com for more information.
Tennessee Employment First Leadership Academy
The Tennessee Employment First Leadership Academy was a 4-day training September 4 and 8, 2014, created by the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN) and the Tennessee Council on Developmental Disabilities. This training was designed to train people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities to be leaders in advocating for better employment options and outcomes for people with disabilities in Tennessee. We believe that people with disabilities should have real jobs with real pay, just like workers without disabilities.
Training included:
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 615.532.6556.
Project SEARCH Launch in TN
The Council is launching 9 new Project SEARCH sites in each of the state's development districts over the next few years to promote early employment experiences for students with disabilities.
The state kickoff event was held in November 2013 in Murfreesboro with Vocational Rehabilitation staff, Local Education Agency staff and DIDD provider staff from each region proposed for the first year of this new program. As of summer 2014, Metro Nashville/Davidson county and Memphis/Shelby County sites are set to begin enrolling students for job training in the fall of 2015. Plans for developing this program in Rutherford county and two additional sites across the state (to be determined) are also currently underway.
The Council's Project SEARCH initiative targets students with intellectual & developmental disabilities in their last year of high school. Between 90 and 100% of the participants complete the program and are offered a job. The investment in students as they finish high school makes the most efficient and effective use of the student's education and fulfills a business need in our communities.
To learn more about Project SEARCH or to view videos of students participating in Project SEARCH job sites, visit www.projectsearch.us. For more information about Project SEARCH in TN, contact Alicia Cone at firstname.lastname@example.com or 615-253-1105.

Yeah. You could have heard a pin drop in that stadium. That was a tough one to watch. And then obviously losing that game it just felt like the energy was sucked out of the whole city.
Did you guys ever talk about Bartman? Like, years later, did that ever come up? What's your take on him and his place in Chicago sports history?
I thought he was unfairly criticized. I felt terrible for the guy. And even Moises—he could have come out a little earlier and said what he did, about how he didn't think he could have caught the ball, but I think deep down he felt like he got a chance at it. And the more you watch it the more you realize that he had a chance.
But the more you watch it the more you realize that 99 out of 100 fans would have probably interfered with it. If it wasn't Bartman, someone else would have interfered. It's tough when you have a ball that's going to land on your head to think, "Just let this guy catch it." I've been in the stands before at a baseball game. If the ball's coming at you, your first reaction is to catch it. [Laughs.] You're not looking at Alou and looking at the ball. You don't have that much time to really make that decision. You don't know how close it is to the wall. Anybody would have done that. Anybody.
I think any fan would have done that. I feel terrible for the guy. I've never blamed him one bit. I've always been a, "You take care of stuff on the field," and we had a chance if we played clean baseball to win the game. If we don't boot the ball at shortstop we probably win the game. And you can't pin it all on one guy. It's not Alex's—he's human, he's going to make errors. But if you take care of what you can take care of on the field, and you pitch and you catch the ball, and you do it better than the other team, you're going to win most of the time. And unfortunately it was one play that upended us. That to me was the biggest play of that game.
What's your perspective on the widely-discussed theory that Dusty rode Prior too much and that he mishandled the pitchers and the innings in that game, and such and such.
I don't agree with it at all. Prior, like you said, he went 10-1 down the stretch. He was the best pitcher in baseball. Him and Kerry both. You can always go back. Hindsight is 20-20, and that sort of a thing. But [Dusty]'s a firm believer that if he's got horses, he's going to ride his horses. As a starting pitcher, I appreciated that. I wasn't that caliber. I wasn't a dominating punch-out guy. But if I was rolling—and he'd ask you, too. "How do you feel?" And it's your job as a pitcher to be honest with him. If you feel like you're getting tired, then you gotta tell him. If you feel like you're running out of gas and he leaves you in and you give it up, it's on you.
If he asked Mark how he felt, I'm sure he said he felt great. Mark was never a guy that was going to say, "I'm tired." He was a strong kid. So Dusty comes from the old school, and starters would throw. When he had horses, he was going to ride those horses as long as he could. You don't get many opportunities to go to a World Series, either. And he had confidence in his bullpen but he had a lot more confidence in Mark Prior than he did in anybody else in that bullpen.
You can always look back and criticize this and that, but the bottom line is that he got a ground ball, we didn't make the play, and we lost the game. Kyle Farnsworth came in, and he didn't do his job. He didn't get the outs. You go down the line in that eighth inning and you can criticize that inning all you want. But we didn't score any runs in the bottom of the ninth. And we didn't score in the bottom of the eighth for that matter.
You still gotta score runs. It's not over just because it's 8-3. I know it's a lot tougher to come back from. But I think Dusty—you don't want to second guess. I know that he was second-guessed quite a bit even after that year, but there are not many managers who have gotten that far as a Cubs manager throughout the whole history of the Cubs. It's just a tough one to swallow. It just wasn't meant to be, Jack. [Laughs.]

9 Awesome Sky Cities (And Why We Love Them)
Subscribe to our newsletter
From the moment we first perceived a city floating free in the air like a spaceship, but not quite in space, we knew the way that we wanted to live in the future. Why bother with all the problems of dealing with mountains, rivers and swamps and the inevitable floods and rockslides that accompany them when you can literally rise above it all?
There are two basic classifications of sky cities. One is the true sky city that floats in the sky with no need to contact the surface below. The other, "partial" sky city is one that maintains a tenuous connection to the earth.
It's too bad that these sky cities are either a) featured in games or movies, b) only the apple in some mad genius's eye, or c) "sky cities" in name only, as they are firmly rooted to the ground and a little on the puny side. Someone needs to get working on making these things a reality, stat!
Star Wars Cloud City
For many of us, the original introduction to sky cities was Lando Calrissian's infamous Cloud City in
Episode 5 the second Star Wars movie. We watched in awe as tiny spaceships, dwarfed by the size of the huge structure, zoomed to and fro. We witnessed passageways and lavish suites, meeting chambers and pretty much everything you could expect from an awesome sky city of the future. Even a torture chamber! Well, we might leave that out of our own personal future designs, but we're not here to judge. Just to admire.
Sky City 1000
Trust the Japanese to come up with an actual, real sky city. At least, in theory. Land prices are high in Japan, so it makes sense to build up instead of out. At a proposed 1,000 meters high (that's 3,281 feet for you Americans out there) and 400 meters (1,312 feet) wide at the base, there will be plenty of room for all of those silly Japanese things such as furry conventions and rolls of pre-cooked egg that come in tubes. Not to mention parks and living and working spaces. And if you ask us, they're secretly planning on putting some rockets on the bottom of the thing to lift it up once construction is complete. We could totally see that happening.
Castle in the Sky
This image comes from the film Castle in the Sky. In the movie, humans have made many sky cities, but catastrophes have caused them to fall, except for the lone sky city of legend. We really feel for those poor folk who got to live in the sky and then had to suffer the embarrassment of soiling their feet on the boring old earth when their cities went haywire. We like this sky city because it's the complete opposite of the one from Star Wars. Instead of a city completely encased in metal, you have a living, breathing oasis. We're ignoring, of course, the reason for enclosing a city in the sky - survivability tends to drop the higher you go, what with solar radiation and plunging temperatures and lack of oxygen and all. If you could overcome all of those factors, though, it would be nice to have a sky city in which you could actually, you know, be out in the real sky.
Heroes of Might and Magic 5 Hovering Sky City
Heroes of Might and Magic is a popular online game that caters to the fantasy lover in all of us. The game has its very own version of a flying city. This is perhaps one of the most serene and beautiful, as if a lovely piece of land simply decided the surrounding territory wasn't pretty enough and so decided to wander off. This is actually more of an entire island than just a city, with everything you could possibly want for sky-bound bliss. You feel like nothing could ever go wrong if you lived in a place like this.
City from Beneath a Steel Sky
Beneath a Steel Sky was a PC cyberpunk adventure developed in 1994. The presence of this post-modern construction in the game just goes to show that sky cities were just as popular sixteen years ago as they are today. The image of the sky city comes from one of the developers of the game, on the Juniper Crescent site. This is one of those exciting sky cities where you're not just up in the sky, closed in on all sides - you're actually literally in the sky, as you walk from one tower to the next. Although, if it were us, we might add a railing or two...

You know, Diabetes Forecast, that slick full-color monthly magazine you get when you become a member of the American Diabetes Association? You read it? Well, read the latest issue, mailed out this week! For me, OK? Because they've *finally* gotten around to publishing my article on Continuous Glucose Monitoring! (see page 52 of the August issue; I'll post the link once it's up)
How cool is that? Except it was a bit like having a baby, since that puppy was in the hopper for 9 months (I kid you not!), and therefore required continuous nurturing (read: multiple updates) in order to stay on top of CGM advancements.
Anyway, while you're thumbing through, check out the various features and research profiles by associate editor Kate Ruder, who's been doing her bit to make the magazine more informative and fun to read of late. And now they've got me
** And in other diabetes magazine news, get ready for a major revamp of Diabetes Health online. They'll be going streaming video soon, with live interviews to view, dynamic pages to "flip through" and more. They were showing off their hot new stuff at (where else?) the ADA Conf earlier this month.**

Herbert Slewg and his hapless, video gameaddicted neighbor Alex Filby have stumbled upon what Einstein could only theorize about: a wormhole through the space/time continuum. They travel 100 years into the future of their no-longer-boring town and are mistaken for alien slayers . . . in a world run by a benevolent alien race with cheerful Australian accents and uncomfortably fake facial hair. Herbert, Alex, and their mutual crush, Sammi Clementine, century-hop across time in order to outwit a disgruntled GDalien. By foiling his evil plot, they save the planet and become 22nd-century hometown heroes in this smart-alecky (but friendly), inventive, wry, and very visual creation.
About the Author
Peter Nelson is a screenwriter who lives in Los Angeles, California, with his wife, Diane, and their two sons, Charlie and Christopher. Peter grew up in New England, where he made up weird stories and invented strange games for the enjoyment of his two younger brothers, Sean and David. Theyve never forgiven him for it. Herberts Wormhole is Peters first childrens book. He wrote it without ever having met an actual alien or traveling through time, which made it a bit more challenging, but just as fun.

True country entertainment
April 12, 2010 - Pam Rodgers
I had the pleasure to go see George Strait and Reba McEntire in concert on April 10 in Wells Fargo Arena. I must say it was simply fantastic. I could not have imagined a more entertaining show. The king and queen of country music were at their best. It was an awesome way to spend 4 and a half hours. In truth, I was at the concert more for Reba than anyone else. I like George, but I like Reba even more. The combination of two, however, was more than I could have imagined.

can you put king kong parrots in with blood red parrots. will they get along? thankss- brandon
I was wanting to buy some king kong parrots to go along with my blood red parrots...Is that a good idea or not? -brandon
I am still working on getting Miley my BP a larger tank now right now shes in my 10 Gallon, its still an improvement from the 5 gallon tank that i rescued her in from college, but i was wondering if it is ok for her once i get the new tank to be alone? Do they get lonely?
Okay then right now in tank have 1 red tailed shark is not aggressive has never chased a fish and 1 pearl gourami 2 angels and 6 scissortail rasbora could I add 1 parrot cichlid to this mix of fish?
The midas is only 4" now, but I'm worried she'll go after my parrots when she gets older. Anyone have Midas with Parrotts? I've also read that a Midas needs as least a 75g tank alone. I have her in a 55g with 3 parrots. I'm thinking I may need to rehome her? That would be a shame because she is so beautiful. Any suggestions?
We have a 26 gallon aquarium. Because we have a plecostomus (ishmael - 9in,) in the other aquarium (25 gallon) with his cherry barb pets (Legion) we will need to set up a 75 gallon at some point in the next 5-6 years after i get my bachelor's degree and we have a permanent home to keep it in.I would like to put two fish ONLY in the empty tank (26 gallon). We had blood parrots before, a male and a female named Admiral Ackbar and Captain Nemo and they passed away recently. The tank has been completely re-done and we want to get new fish.
Do you think a small spinney eel would get on alright with my Parrot ?
I want to buy some schooling little fish to put into my tank with two full grown parrots. Any suggestions on what may survive?
So i got two bettas about two weeks ago, one male and one female. So i havr them both in separate bowls. But I want to get a crown tail (male) betta and put him in the bowl that has the female in it so that my two males can like envy each other through the glass. So i was wondering if i could keep my female betta in the aquarium with my BPs gouramis platys and mollies. She is about one inch long so yeah thanks
Can i do a parrot fish and an Oscar, and maybe some silver dollars as diggers in a 72 gallon bow front?
Just got 7 quarter inch mollies from my grandma. She has like FORTY more!!
Hello am new to this, But Would Be Happy For Some Help.
I have a Fish Tank 2x1. had 2 Very Funny Parrot Fish Until Last Week when 1 Died.
Fish In Tank Looking Very Healthy But Very Lonely, Needs a mate. Can i put another PB + another Type Of Fish With Him.
Gratefull For Some Help.
i went to the petstore tonight and since my neon tetras didnt work i went with bloodfin tetras (a little bigger) and they look awesome in the tank. i got 12 of them. so there in there with my two parrots ,7 neon rosy barbs, a king male betta and a really cool catfish.
the tank looks awesome very colorful alot of reds :) and alot of activity!
i have had my parrots for a month now and theyr pretty cool. they dont really bother the other fish but theyr rather nippy with eachother lol.
hi im new to this site names john.
i have a 46 gallon bowfront aquarium with 2 blood red parrot cichlids about 2 inches.
i also have a king male betta and 7 neon rosy barbs/
i had 14 neon tetras and iv noticed one is missing every morning lol so one of my parrots likes a midnight snack!
I just joined this site. I purchased two blood red parrots and added them to a newly set up 36 gallon tank. I've only had them a day. The tank has two large caves, a bunch of plants and some other decorations. One of my parrots seems to be the dominant one and head bumps the other whenever he enters one of the caves. Other than that, they seem to get along.. Besides a random head bump here and there. It seems as though he is just setting some territory for himself. I would really like to add some other fish to the tank.
Hi,I have two red BP's, two gourami's, one albino shark, two silver dollars and two bala sharks in my 75g tank.I have had them for almost a year now.They average abt 4inches with one of the red BP's being larger at 5 inches.Today I just found one of the 4 inch bala sharks dead! As far as I remember it was fine the previous night. It had not red streaks or anything. I had just done the weekly water change a week back.
Hi all. I have two blood parrots that are around 1 and 2 years old. I just got a baby Midas cichlid (he is around 2-3 inches long right now) that I was intending on putting with my oscar, when my oscar unexpectedly died. He is currently living with my blood parrots, a convict, and two firemouths. He's getting along with everybody just fine, and cuddling with the blood parrots to go to sleep at night. I'm getting ready to move everybody down to a 75 gallon tank.
I am gettign some new fish tomorrow, golden algae eater, cory cats, and an apple snail, but i wanted to also get another BP or a small flowerhorn. Right now i think my tank is too overstocked for a flowerhorn so i am not really sure if i am going to get it but anyway i want to get another BP but the one i have now is about five inches from mouth to tail and the ones at the petstore are only about 3 - 4 and mine has an established territory so i dont waht to get one and lat it not have any place for a home.
I was just wondering what kind of algae eaters or scavengers you guys have had in you tanks before. My synodontis cat recently died in my 40 gal. i now have one platy three gouramis and one BP. so i really need some scavengers and algae eaters cory cats ect. so i wanted to get clown loaches but i realized that they would get too big. So i just wanted to know what kind of algae eaters you have had good experiences with. -thanks
i found thid fish at the pet store thry said it is ajewel cichlid its bright orange with greenish blue sparkly spot but only like 2 or 3 of them at first i thought it was a orange african umtl i saw tje spots anyway will it be a good idea to put it in with my pb
Blood Parrots like having little "dither-fish" around. They probably figure that as long as the little schooling fish aren't scared, there are no threats. Read on for more...

"Dear Dish, I'm a brand new customer of Dish Network, having had DirectTV for 3 years. The cost at Dish is significantly less than DirectTV! I had this installed this morning - so I obviously haven't had much time to work with it. The only thing I notice is that the Search on DTV appears to be better than Dish - but that could change once I get to know the system. Eric, the young man who did my installation was thorough, organized, methodical and friendly. He did a good job of explaining all the Dish components and features. Check back with me in 3 months - I'll probably have changed my mind by then. ;) Overall...good job Dish!"- Nancy J / Casa Grande, Arizona
"At first I didn't like it but now that I have used every day I am getting used to it and have changed my mind. The only thing I really don't like is that when all the T.V.s are on someone has to watch the same thing. Never had to worry about that before.Overall I'm glad LI swliltched to Dish. Thank You"- Linda M / Casa Grande, Arizona
"The first person sent to install Dish network did not know how to install Dish Network on an RV. That person call someone else to that was experienced in install Dish Network on an RV. This person arrived on the next day and install the Network. The price is not the agreed upon price as agreed upon the phone when arrangements were made. I made corrections on-line and they are still not correct. I hope this is corrected! And I hope this experience is not what the future experience will be."- Ted N / Casa Grande, Arizona

INDIANA -- Cyber-schooling has its critics.
"I don't know why you would ever want to plug a primary student into a computer for their learning," wondered former Indiana Area School District Superintendent Kathleen R. Kelley in a 2004 newspaper interview. "Certainly, it can be an aid. But children are hands-on. They need to be actively involved in the learning process."
Anne Cope, mother of two cyber-schooled boys in Indiana borough, disagrees. Both of her sons - junior-high-school age Brendan and primary-school age Sam -- attend the Pennsylvania Virtual Charter School, based in Montgomery County. They attend online.

The Benefits Of Visual Teaching
Here are four "facts" cited in recent scholarly research
papers about the brain and education:
Skype video can come close
to engaging the full visual capacity of the brain. When, for example, a
puppet can wake up and excite the students' interest, they will long remember
the day's lesson.
Watch the different reaction of these students listening to my lecture on health and the reaction to my puppet:
Why? Because the very nature of video calling is visual. From downloading film clips to creating exciting power point programs, so we can engage the visual area of our students' brains which in turn induces long term memory… and isn't that what we teachers are all
trying to do?

The Certificate in Business Accounting syllabus contains five subjects, each with its own examination. It forms the basis of the CIMA Professional Qualification.
Before you start your business, you will need to learn how to keep score (basic accounting), and how to maintain cash in your bank account (cash flow control).
Managing finances is one of the most difficult and important aspects of business. Without well-kept records and a solid understanding of your income and expenses, you stand to lose a significant amount of money each year. Financial losses occur because of mistakes on taxes, failure to identify unnecessary expenses, faulty business plans, and more. Hiring an accountant is one way to prevent these troubles. A person who specializes in accounting can help you with your business plan as well as your records and taxes. You have to keep a few things in mind when searching for accounting firms, though. Some of them may not be worth the cost.
According to Manta.com, there are 131,934 accounting companies in the United States as of October 2011, and 16,926 of these companies have generated between $500,000 and $1,000,000 in revenue. Accounting firms provide services that are beneficial to business owners, and the demand for these services has been high for many years.
Financial counseling
An accountant will obtain a financial overview of your organization to determine your company's financial status. Once your company's status is determined, an accountant can help you develop a financial plan, which generally involves setting financial goals. They assist you with making changes to these plans as your company's revenue increases or decreases. Also, accountants are generally available to clients who have financial questions that require immediate answers.
Avoiding costly mistakes
Business owners who create their own financial plans can have members of an accounting firm review them. Accountants can detect flaws in your plans that you may have overlooked, which can save you a lot of money. If you do not have an accounting background, you can use the services that accounting firms provide to avoid mistakes that can put you out of business.
Effectively managing finances
If you are busy managing other aspects of your business, you can hire an accounting firm to keep track of your finances. An accounting firm that has the best intentions for your company will keep close track of your income-generating assets, sales, and revenue. They typically use accounting software to generate daily, weekly, and monthly reports for your review.
Tax benefits
Countless business owners unknowingly commit financial fraud because they are unfamiliar with the process of filing and paying business taxes. Accounting firms can keep track of the taxes you owe and submit tax payments for you. Also, many entrepreneurs are unaware of the various business deductions they qualify for. Accountants are knowledgeable professionals who will know each deduction you can claim. When accountants file your taxes, they will input these deductions, which can drastically minimize the amount of money you owe in taxes.
Avoid legal problems
Some of the world's largest companies rely heavily on accounting experts to ensure their financial records comply with all legal guidelines at the state and local levels. Using inexperienced or untrustworthy accounting firms can lead to severe legal repercussions if errors appear in financial documents. These legal problems can lead to thousands of dollars in fees and even the dissolution of some business enterprises. Avoid legal problems by working only with reputable firms or certified public accountants trained to handle the specific concerns of your company.
Be aware of data discrepancies
Errors in data can cause problems throughout your service or supply chain. Regular audits from accounting professionals allow you to locate accounting issues before they cause problems to your business as a whole. Data sources can include inventory tracking, human resources management, and information gained from customers or clients. Accounting firms can help audit your books to locate any discrepancies.
Seek confidentiality
Accounting firms hired by your business may have access to some of your company's most vital or sensitive documents and financial reports. Watch out for disreputable firms that may attempt to steal financial information, ranging from client credit card numbers to company accounts, or sell customer demographic and contact information to outsiders. A confidentiality breach can ruin a small business and may even harm the largest of companies in any industry.
Watch for unexpected costs
Many accounting firms list their fees before signing a contract for service. Read such contracts carefully to avoid unexpected costs. Expenses for basic supplies, such as postage costs or ledgers, may fall on the company instead of the firm. Should the contract stipulate unspecified miscellaneous charges, ask the firm for more information on what charges may be expected. Many accountants may be unaware of all charges prior to engaging in service, but experienced professionals should be able to provide a rough estimate.
Out of 9,000 job offers reported, accounting firms offered the most positions to the 2010 accounting student graduates, according to businessweek.com. Accounting firms have an average starting salary of approximately $50,000.
The Cost of an Accountant
If your business would like to hire an accountant to have on staff, you can plan to spend approximately $50,000 on his or her salary. If you break this down, you can say that your new hire will bring in between $900 and $1,000 per week. Per hour, this would place the new employee at $25. This could be more or less for your business, depending on the skills and experience of the accountant you hire.
Accounting professionals can lift some of the burden of managing taxes and finances. With their help and expertise, you can save a lot of time and money. A reputable accountant can also serve as your confidant on business matters while helping you lower your expenses and increase your profits. However, you must first ensure that your chosen accountant is, indeed, reputable and reliable. Failure to hire a scrupulous firm can cause you more problems than you would have without an accountant. Researching the firms and asking for recommendations will help you avoid those that would compromise your business or charge unnecessary fees.
Are you in need of accurate and high quality accounting? Organizing and keeping track of expenses, costs, inventory, and taxes is an essential part of any business. Accountants are trained to accurately determine your earnings and to report the tax rate you owe while saving you as much money as possible. Nearly every business, and most individuals need a professional accountant for their taxes at the end of the fiscal year, and many need to employ one year-round to ensure accuracy.
You probably have several options in your area. There are many things you will want to consider before you choose the accountant that is right for you. Take into consideration first, the sort of taxes you are planning on filing, and the level of complexity. Accountants sometimes have different skill sets, and there is certainly a range of expertise from one professional to the next. It may also be helpful to find out what other businesses and individuals they have helped and see if they have experience with the sort of account records you need handled. Finally price is also a concern and this can vary quite a bit.
It is advised that anyone seeking an accountant review a number of options prior to making a decision. Business.com offers links that may be able to help.

Beech made his NHL debut with Washington in 2000-01, and played 4 games as a Capital before he was returned to the Hitmen. On July 11, 2001, Beech was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins with Ross Lupaschuk and Michal Sivek, with Jaromir Jagr and Frantisek Kucera going to Washington. As a rookie in 2001-02, Beech scored 10 goals and added 15 assists for 25 points, good for ninth on the Penguins' roster.
Over the course of the next three seasons Beech honed his skill in the AHL with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins while seeing limited action with the parent club.
In the summer of 2005, Beech was acquired by the Nashville Predators before returning to the Capitals organization in the latter stages of the 2005-06 season. He would spend a season and half with the Capitals before he was signed as a free agent by the Columbus Blue Jackets.

In the spring of 2006, a group of designers intimately familiar with the organization and development of design pattern resources discussed the current and future role of design patterns in the real world. We talked about defining and documenting patterns, the context required to communicate how patterns should be applied, what it takes to develop a design language, and how disparate lists of patterns could converge. The first question we answered was "What are Design Patterns?" You can find this conversation thread on Luke Wroblewski's blog.
More recently a followup question was posed, and Jenifer is first up in the conversation. Later this week we will hear Luke Wroblewski's response.
Q: What's the best way to communicate a pattern?
Jenifer Tidwell
Interaction designer/software developer, The MathWorks
Author, Designing Interfaces
Curator, UI Patterns and Techniques
Patterns communicate design ideas from one designer to another. From this simple fact, so much else follows – the importance of examples, the need for an insightful "Problem" or "Use when" statement, and the relative unimportance of strict formats and formal logic.
Different people learn in different ways. Some will appreciate detailed textual explanations in a UI pattern, but designers tend to be visually-oriented – many may actually find more value in a carefully-chosen array of examples. Many readers have told me that their favorite aspect of "Designing Interfaces" is the illustrations. These readers get the essence of the pattern from the illustrated examples, and find them inspiring as a source book for their own work. (Furthermore, I don't believe a good pattern can even be written without examples. You have to ground the pattern in existing, real-world usage before writing the rest.)
Speaking of starting with examples, I've found that a new pattern arises from three key insights:
- The recognition that you've seen a technique or idea "work" in more than one place or context.
- An understanding of why it works. A solid understanding of cognitive and graphic-design theory helps here, even though the "why" is sometimes nothing more than "it's just convention."
- Insight into when it's appropriate to use the pattern, and when it's not.
That last one, I find, is by far the most difficult of the three – it requires careful, thoughtful design judgment to reach a non-obvious recommendation. It's too easy to present a tautology. "Problem: you need a context menu. Solution: use a context menu." It's harder, but far more useful, to say something like: "Problem: you need to present a short, dynamic list of item-relevant choices to the user, but you can't use a lot of screen space for it." Yes, it's committing. Writing such a recommendation goes against the grain for many designers, who (understandably) tend to trust intuitive judgments more than rules, but it's really much more helpful for less knowledgeable readers.
Finally, a word about formats. Within the patterns community, a lot of attention has been given to the pattern format – what sections they're supposed to have, what those sections are named, etc. I have found that it matters less than we think, as long as the basic answers are there. (I use these: What, Use When, Why, How, and Examples.) Remember that you're writing this pattern for a human audience. It needs to be readable, and too many sections – or too much jargon; who can explain what "Forces" means? – makes it harder for the reader to decipher what you're trying to say.
You're not writing code, either. Or formal specifications, or a components catalog. You may personally find it useful to work out very precise logic in your patterns, but I guarantee that most readers won't care. That also means that I don't think UI patterns, as I write them, have much value for design automation or code generation. But that's another story.
All that said, every information architect knows the value of a consistent format used across multiple content providers! We pattern writers have all gone off and experimented with format and structure variations, but now what happens to readers who want to search or cross-reference all of our patterns? Well, now we have a problem! This is something we need to address in the near future, but I think some kind of format evolution was necessary to find the best answers.

Why yes, now that you ask, we have spent at least one night in an interesting hotel room.ReplyDelete
Nashville, TN. A typical family vaca odyssey, wife and kid, late at night, exhausted after a 500+ mile drive, blinding rain. Pull off the interstate into the "Alamo Motel". Clerk behind the barrred window astounded that we want the room for more than an hour. Room basically cold tile, dirty rug, dirty bathroom, dirty bed, dirty torn blanket with holes, same for the sheets but add a few large dark stains. Couple of very large roachs (the bug type) on the carpet along with an empty condom package (well at least the previous occupants were being safe) . Phone torn from the wall. Stench! Kid discovers that for a quarter you can make the bed vibrate for 5 minutes, but he really gets his moneys worth as it vibrates and clanks all night long. Couple in the next room "trying to win a prize" for endurance,but soon disintegrates into an incoherent, threat filled screaming match over money or the lack thereof. Ahhh, Welcome to the "Music City".

OMG I never would have slept in such conditions regardless of the price! The option of sleeping in the car or in the woods is cleaner then what you both describe.ReplyDelete
Our story was 3 sisters were going to N.H. to ski and visit another sister for weekend, 2 toddlers and my Krysta who was only 4 montha old. My sister is phobic about a sudden snow storm we watch the weather to make sure that doesn't happen with our precious cargos. Well guess what, we make it to Nashua and the most sudden snow/ice storm ever lands and their are cars, vans and trucks going off both sides of highway. We crept along screaming and praying at one another and found the first decent hotel knowing the rooms would be going fast once all the drives in the ditchs were pulled out that night. No crib in car (n.h.sister has a crib)
we lined a bureau draw with blankets and Krysta slept wonderfully thru the night!
Randy, Mary's is a saint!

A very interesting topic Mr. Hunt.ReplyDelete
During part of my earl life I had a job that took me all over the place. At times I would be in three different states working.
I had this one occasion when another engineer was helping us closing out a project. We did not finish so we got permission from the home office to stay over night, rather then leaving and coming back the follow day.
Well we find a nice place of the beaten path and after showering we hit the bed. We are both tired from the long day on the job and it is close to 9{ we had been on the road since 4 that morning.
Well my room mate is soon sound asleap in his own bed and start to go off when I hear the magic sound of a singing cricket. Well I knew that I would not be getting to sleep real fast. So I was determined to locate the bucker and put it out. Well within a short period I locate the singing cricket and placed it outside.
Well peace at last I tell myself and head on back to bed.
Perhaps an hour goes by and there again is another cricket singing a song .
Well I began searching out this songster and as I was crawling on my knees I hit my room mates bed and wake him up. He began to shout[what in the hell are you doing]I explain that as tired as i was I could not fall asleep with all the noise the cricket was making.
Now we have two on the floor searching for this bugger, and finily after much waiting and manurvering we capture the little beast and out he goes with his music.
Peace at least and we both go back
My room mate goes off into snoring and here I am left with another distraction to get some sleep.
Well before you know it we have our wake up call at 4 and I am still on my knees looking for another singing cricket.
That was the last time we ever would allow our company to book two in the same room.
More to come

Worst expierience:ReplyDelete
I had gone to college in Co. and would drive back and forth yearly.I owned a ragtop jeep CJ5 and would pack it to the gills with all my worldly possesions to make the trip home until the following fall when I would do it all over again and head back. One May well making the trek back east, I got a late start and drove as far as I could and ended up at a fleabag hotel. It was busy with lots of cars so I figured it couldn't be too bad. I was dead tired from 13 hours of driving and went to the office to get a room. It was very seedy and the clerk asked how many hours I wanted the room for (first red flag) when I told him I wanted to stay the night, he asked if my jeep locked and if it had an alarm (2nd red flag)When I told him it didn't do either (convertible doors) he told me to look around at the cars in the parking lot-all were caddilacs or lincolns with women sitting in them, their pimps were in the front seat(entire shipload of red flags) He advised me to keep on driving and 4 hours later I made it to a Red Roof Inn, vowing to never again attempt to sign a hotel registry in the middle of the night.
best expierience:
On one of the trips back to Co. I ran out of gas in Iowa (people drive thru Iowa, not TO Iowa) I hadn't left with enough money and only had personal checks. I told the store keeper (a very obese man with a genuinely warm smile) my woes and asked if I could write a personal check,college student,checks, yeah, I don't think so! At least that is what I assumed he'd say. But to my surprise he said "write it for whatever amount you need and make sure you have enough money to make it all the way to Denver" I thanked him profusely and when I walked out the door he handed me a big home made sweet-muffin and with a big heartland smile, wished me a safe trip. I always think of those people whenever I travel!

Banki syndrome
A single Hungarian family has been reported in 1965 in the literature in which members of 3 generations showed lunotriquetral synostosis, clinodactyly, clinometacarpy, brachymetacarpy and leptometacarpy (thin diaphysis). It seems to be a unique dominant mutation.
