Mother of 3 girls killed in Conn. fire speaks
NEW YORK The mother of three young girls who died during a Christmas morning fire along with their grandparents told mourners that the girls live in her heart now.
Madonna Badger's voice broke Thursday as she spoke at their funeral: "My girls are in my heart. They're right here. And that's where they live now."
Badger wailed as she followed the three coffins out of the church. She was accompanied by her estranged husband, Matthew Badger.
The pallbearers were 18 firefighters from Stamford, Conn., who responded to the fire. Among the more than 500 people attending the service in New York City were fashion designers Calvin Klein and Vera Wang, rocker Lou Reed and actor Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Madonna Badger, is a fashion advertising executive who worked on Calvin Klein campaigns.
Authorities say embers in a bag of discarded fireplace ashes started the deadly blaze. Badger's parents were also killed.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
Hundreds of people streamed into a historic church in the heart of Manhattan on Thursday for the funeral of three young girls who died along with their grandparents during a Christmas morning fire in Stamford, Conn.
The "Service in Thanksgiving for the Lives of Lilian, Sarah and Grace Badger" was held at St. Thomas Church, a historic Episcopal congregation housed in a French High Gothic style stone edifice.
The program featured a photo of a laughing 9-year-old Lily and her 7-year-old sisters, Sarah and Grace with tousled hair and flowered dresses.
Lilies were part of the three floral arrangements in the nave of the church, still decorated with faux evergreen boughs from Christmas.
The readings included well-known Bible passages: "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not," and "For every time there is a season."
A private service will be held later at Woodlawn Cemetery for the girls and their grandparents, Lomer and Pauline Johnson.
Authorities have told The Associated Press that embers in a bag of discarded ashes started the blaze. They had been taken out of a fireplace so the children wouldn't worry about Santa coming down the chimney.
The girls' mother, Madonna Badger, and a friend, Michael Borcina, were treated at a hospital.
Fire officials have said Borcina is believed to have placed the ashes in or outside an entryway, near the trash.
On Wednesday, Badger leaned on the arms of two funeral home workers as she attended a wake for her children and parents.
The victims died of smoke inhalation. Grandfather Lomer Johnson also suffered a blunt head and neck trauma, which resulted from a fall or being hit by an object.
One of the girls, found dead just inside a window, had been placed on a pile of books, apparently so Johnson could reach in and grab her after he jumped out. Instead, authorities say, he fell through the roof.
Stamford police are helping fire officials investigate the blaze. Police said Monday officials want to know whether there were smoke alarms, the status of renovation work on the house and whether the contractor had permits.

That's right, this sweet baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about a hundred and nine, ninety five. It's got a walnut stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart. You got that?
Which kinda ties into OD's sig line. Nice retro, by the way.
"A well-educated electorate, being necessary to the continuance of a free state, the right of the people to keep and read books shall not be infringed."
Is this hard to understand? Then why does it get unintelligible to some people when 5 little words are changed?
07 is a type 7 FFL which allows someone to manufacture title 1 firearms, and 02 is an SOT2(Special Occupancy Tax) which will allow him to manufacture NFA/title 2 firearms.
To get the 02 you have to have a type 7, or 10, FFL.
With an 07/02 he can legally manufacture/convert his AR-15 to fire full auto.

Thanks for the education. I didn't realize that it could be done. I'm at the stage in life that the only autoo I think I could afford to feed would be an American 180. Looks like a cross between a Thompson and a Vickers with a 175 round drum over the barrel. It only fired .22 LR and kind of sounded like a Chain Saw. I had a friend in Thomasville NC with one.

Yes, Josh is correct. In the gun world people are listed as FFL type/SOT type, so a NFA dealer is a 01/03 since he has a Type 01 FFL and a Class III SOT status. Here's a link to the different FFL types and what they can do:
FFL Types
I formed a LLC for my business and have my Type 07 FFL (normal dealers are Type 01) for manufacturer of firearms pending. Once I have that in hand, I pay a $1000 Special Occupational Tax Class II (SOT 2) and this allows me to manufacture NFA weapons including machine guns, sound suppressors, short barreled rifles and shotguns (but not in MI), and "any other weapons" (but not in MI).
In doing so, I can make any NFA weapon I want, except destructive devices, that's a separate FFL and SOT tax. I will be making M16 weapons in both full auto and burst fire and I will be making my own line of sound suppressors. In MI, I can't make short barreled weapons or AOWs. I can make machine guns with less that 16" barrels legally in MI because the fact that it is a machine gun "overrides" the fact that the barrel length is less than 16". I can put any barrel length on a machine gun, because the receiver is registered or the sear is registered.
I have to keep a bound book and file a Form 2 every time I manufacture an NFA weapon, within 24hrs. I will be a manufacturer, so there isn't the $200 tax every time I make a NFA weapon, just the yearly SOT tax of $1000 ($500 if my sales the prior year were less than $500K). If I get extra bored, I can make an M16, mail out the Form 2 to the ATF, and go shoot it.
I'm dropping the bullet casting operations soon and will be concentrating on firearm and ammunition manufacturing. I will be making Title I and Title II firearms and will be handling NFA weapon transfers in the Keweenaw Peninsula of the UP. I will also be doing Title I transfers in the area and as I build inventory will be able to ship firearms to your dealer. As soon as I get my 07 FFL, I will be offering my own line of AR15 stripped lower receivers (Title I semi auto).
For my demo machine guns, the selector switch position labels aren't going to be the boring SAFE-SEMI-FULL AUTO. I'm making it "BORING-FUN-WOOHOO!!"
07/02 FFL/SOT since 2006

Jefferson County (WVLT) - A woman is recovering in the hospital after she was apparently attacked by several dogs.
The Citizen Tribune in Morristown reports Jessica Ann Zajac was jogging Thursday evening when she was attacked by the pack of dogs.
Volunteer TV's Heather Haley has more on how only some of the dogs have been caught.
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Department is investigating the apparent dog attack. They told the paper 7 or 8 blue heeler dogs were at the scene where they found the young woman and a trail of blood. As of Friday, three of the blue heelers, or cattle dogs, are at the Humane Society of Jefferson County. Executive Director Stephanie Moore says the dogs are very sweet. Moore says she believes the dogs might not have attacked the woman if they were spayed or neutered and not allowed to roam free.
"It really is not the animals' fault, originally they were wild animals, dogs were wild animals, so they were just following their instinct," Moore said.
Moore says they have traps laid out to try and catch the rest of the dogs. Now here's what you need to know if a dog or dogs come after you:
Moore says the biggest thing is to not run! She says to drop to the group and protect your head and neck. She says this should keep the animals from attacking.
The dog attack victim, Zajac, is currently in stable condition at UT Medical Center.

Time Warner Inc. Posts 10% Decrease In Profits But Still Feels Like A Billion Bucks
A billion and a third, that is. Time Warner Inc. (TWX) reported a profit of $1.3 billion on revenues of $7.1 billion, leading chairman and CEO Jeff Bewkes to announce that "Time Warner is firmly on track to post solid results this year in spite of the tough economic environment."
Revenue at Time Warner's Publishing segment, which includes Time Inc's 22 magazines and 25 web sites, declined 18 percent to $914 million, mainly because of declines in advertising and subscription revenues, but income fell 40 percent, so despite "better-than-expected" results at Turner Broadcasting & HBO (where revenues rose 5 percent and income grew 3 percent thanks to lower costs), the company will probably still be announcing layoffs at its magazines later today.
Revenues at AOL decreased 22 percent and income fell by half, so Bewkes is probably pretty happy that he's about to get the online company off Time Warner's books. And Tim Armstrong, meanwhile, has a big job on his hands…

Netflix stock nosedives 19 percent after company ticks off customers
Netflix stock took a wallop after Netflix predicted 1 million US customers would cancel their subscriptions.
Paul Sakuma/AP/File
New York
After rocketing up last year, Netflix's stocks tumbled almost 19 percent Thursday.
Earlier this year Netflix CEO Reed Hastings saw his pay double after stocks tripled. The web-based movie rental company had released set-top devices and partnered with makers of consoles like PS3, Xbox, and Wii to make it easier for customers to stream movies and TV shows to their living rooms. In March, Netflix announced its first exclusive serialized drama, "House of Cards," staring Kevin Spacey.
Their streaming videos had become so popular that Sandvine reported in May that 22 percent of all North American Internet traffic was from Netflix (by comparison, YouTube videos only accounted for 8 percent).

February 11, 2005
A lawsuit accusing Mesa of violating federal election law has been deemed moot.
Tom Irvine, an attorney representing Riverview at Dobson referendum leader David Molina, told a threejudge panel Thursday in U.S. District Court that his requested injunction to stop the election process was no longer necessary because the city was granted preclearance for the May 17 election.
The lawsuit alleged Mesa had violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by failing to seek preclearance from the Department of Justice before the City Council voted Jan. 13 to set the special election date.
Mesa requested preclearance on Jan. 28 and received its response on Wednesday.
Robert Berman, a Department of Justice attorney, told the courtroom by speakerphone that because Mesa's preclearance was issued expeditiously, a challenge can be raised within 60 days.
Berman said this occurs "extraordinarily infrequently."
But, the panel decided to retain jurisdiction over the case until April 11 with the parties filing a joint status report on or before that date.
Irvine said he does not plan to challenge the merits of the preclearance.
On Wednesday, a Maricopa County Superior Court judge denied the developers' request to stop the election by ruling that the referendum petitions were valid.
The 250-acre Riverview project at Dobson Road and Loop 202 would be anchored by Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World and would also include a movie theater, "big-box" retail stores, auto dealerships and a business park.

I layered the cookie dough and the brownie batter in a pan, baked, and cut them into squares. They were really fun to give away to my peanut butter loving brother.
Peanut Butter Crispy Marshmallow Brownies
When I mentioned to Carla that I needed a killer brownie recipe for the upcoming family reunion brownie bake-off for eternal fame and glory, she suggested I try her Peanut Butter Crispy Marshmallow Brownies.
Can I just describe to you why this is arguably the best krispie treat ever? The biggest reason, besides the obvious heavenly peanut butter and chocolate combination, is corn syrup.
Peanut Butter Snickers Ice Cream Pops
This week, I decided my portable snacks ought to be homemade, and since I recently purchased some new popsicle molds, I figured this was the perfect opportunity to test them out. Also, it gave me an excuse to eat Snickers.
Peanut Butter Granola Bites
One of my alternatives to junk-food snacking this season is these Granola Bites. There is still enough sweetness in them to make them really fun and delicious, while packing a protein punch that keeps the cravings at bay. Plus? I love peanut butter. YUM.
Nutella Swirled Peanut Butter Bars
It was pure torture, waiting for them to bake, waiting for them to cool, waiting for them to be photographed before I could swan dive face first into them.
Butterfinger Bark and Halloween Food Party
Because, y'all?! My friends are back!! And we've gathered up some amazing-awesome Halloween recipes just for you. Because that's the kind of friends we are.
Grilled Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich
My talented cousin told me in a Facebook post about her delicious grilled PB&J sandwiches, with bananas and chocolate chips. I mean, let's face it, the idea is brilliant.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
The Lizard finally settled on Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake for his birthday, which is just fine with me. My family's love of chocolate and peanut butter is practically legend. As if chocolate peanut butter cake and peanut butter frosting weren't enough, I covered the top with chocolate ganache and threw some chopped peanut butter cups on top.

I need to learn to focus my energies where I can make the most impact.
Jenny has written 20 entries about this goal
Yesterday I was much afraid, today I am grounded.
Today I feel like I can make a difference.
A lot on my mind today, maybe too much, and now I feel like I've nothing left to say.
Ending an anxious day with feelings of calm and commitment to wellness.
Today has been a day of rediscovery including slack and dystopia.
This drama isn't mine, I'm letting it go.
3 days med free, tired.
Coffee, music, journals…beautiful weather, life is good.
Moving through waves of realizations and learning to live again, taking risks, breathing.

Environmental Protection:
Assessing Impacts of EPA's Regulations Through Retrospective Studies
RCED-99-250: Published: Sep 14, 1999. Publicly Released: Sep 14, 1999.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-6878
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on efforts to assess the economic impact of the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) regulations to enhance environmental quality, focusing on: (1) to what extent EPA's regulations have been the subject of retrospective studies; (2) whether retrospective studies are viewed as useful or difficult to do; and (3) ways to foster such studies in the future.
GAO noted that: (1) assessments of the costs and the benefits of EPA's regulations after they have been issued have rarely been done; (2) of the 101 economically significant regulations issued by EPA from 1981 through 1998, only five were the subject of retrospective studies; (3) various sources--including Congress, EPA, and academia--have provided the impetus for these studies, which were all completed from 1997 through 1999; (4) these studies covered regulations designed to, among other purposes, control acid rain, phase out chlorofluorocarbons, and reduce air pollution through improved vehicle inspection and maintenance; (5) authors of retrospective studies, EPA officials, and other experts told GAO that these studies have been or can be useful but also pose a number of difficulties for researchers; (6) in terms of usefulness, retrospective studies have provided insights into a new, market-based regulatory approach to reduce emissions that cause acid rain; (7) these studies found that the actual costs of reducing emissions were lower than initially estimated; (8) based on these findings, a legislative proposal to further limit emissions has been introduced; (9) retrospective studies are viewed as difficult to do because, among other reasons, it is difficult to obtain valid cost data from regulated entities; (10) it is extremely difficult to quantify actual benefits; (11) one reason is that a significant time lag usually exists between the elimination or major reduction of pollutants and any corresponding change in illness rates; (12) GAO found that a systematic approach by EPA would foster retrospective studies in the future; (13) while all economically significant regulations, by executive order, are subject to a prospective economic assessment, EPA is not expected to calculate the actual costs and benefits for all of these regulations; (14) accordingly, EPA officials told GAO that they have used the agency's limited resources on prospective economic assessments--which EPA must perform--rather than on retrospective studies; and (15) based on discussions with study authors, EPA officials, and other experts, GAO found that the resource constraints and the difficulties in conducting retrospective studies could be better addressed if EPA were to develop a plan to foster studies of the actual costs and benefits of environmental regulations.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: While EPA states that it supports economic research and analysis to investigate the economic costs and benefits of federal government regulations, EPA does not agree with GAO's recommendation to develop a plan to study the actual costs and benefits of its environmental regulations and target selected regulations for review. EPA believes that such retrospective studies are best suited at measuring aggregate expenditures for all environmental requirements and are not well suited to evaluating the costs and benefits of specific regulations. In addition, EPA cites difficulties in conducting retrospective studies. EPA notes that it has attempted some retrospective analyses of the benefits and costs of its regulations at the "program" level such as the 1997 and 1999 reports to Congress on the costs and benefits of the the Clean Air Act and the 1990 amendments and that other similar efforts are being pursued for other agency programs, in part to support OMB's requirements to report to Congress on the costs and benefits of all federal regulations.
Recommendation: To help determine if existing environmental regulations need to be retained or improved, the Administrator, EPA, should establish a plan to study the actual costs and benefits of such regulations, including when and how to use retrospective studies as an integral part of its approach. The plan should target selected regulations for review based on a systematic identification of candidate regulations, an assessment of the feasibility of studying those regulations retrospectively, and an identification of the resources needed.

"It's like revisiting a career and seeing how much every single thing means to different people," Todd said Saturday at C2E2 of his interaction with fans. "Everybody comes up with different recollection. It's always nice."
The first time Todd visited Chicago was to film "Candyman," which was shot at the Cabrini-Green public housing project before it was torn down. Todd recalls the movie hiring gang members during production.
"For those five days, they had a purpose other than brutality and slinging drugs."
Todd — who said he loves the city's music scene and hung out Friday with blues legend Buddy Guy — is proud that "Candyman" has stood the test of time.
"To this day, I think Candyman has become somewhat of an urban legend," Todd said.

Cracking Open: Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet
Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet teardown
Barnes & Noble is marketing the Nook Tablet as the company's first, full-fledged tablet. But our teardown and hardware analysis show the new Nook to have more in common with the Nook Color e-book reader than Android tablets, such as the Sony Tablet S, Asus Eee Pad Transformer, and Acer Iconia Tab. Perhaps the Nook Color was always a tablet in e-book reader's clothing.
Follow along as I cracked open the Nook Tablet.
For a complete hardware analysis, check out my article, "Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet teardown: Upgraded, improved Nook Color."

Can I use the Nook to Android SD card the one for Nook Color in the New Nook Tablet? I want to purchase one for my daughter for Christmas and do not know if I can....
I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestion.
a good design with few parts , totally different over the kindle , and far away over the rats nest of iphone 4s with a ton of miscellaneous and sizes screws in the iphone headache assembly. When show us the cracking of the LG 3d-android?
Although the Nook Color doesn't have Bluetooth support in its stock condition, I understand the hardware is present and can be activated by rooting. A TI transmitter is shown in the breakdown. By any chance does the Nook Tablet have similar hiddlen capabilities? I know there is now a way to root the Nook Tablet.
Although some suggest that the Kindle Fire's Wi-Fi package (Jorjin WG7310-30 Wi-Fi SiP Module) contains a Bluetooth chip, I've only been able to find information that it contains the Texas Instruments WL1270B IEEE 802.11b/g/n chip. If true, the Fire does not have BT capability. I wasn't able to determine the manufacturer and model of the Nook's Wi-Fi package. It's possible that it has a chip that supports both Wi-Fi and BT.

How to remember to aspirate with IM injections
- 0Oct 15, '09 by whitecat5000So I took a competency today and totally forgot to aspirate! Does anyone have any tips or tricks that can help me to remember how to aspirate when giving IM injections?
- 0Oct 15, '09 by mgortonWhen I give an IM i curl my index fingers around the syringe, keeping my thumb out, then you can flick your thumb up to aspirate and then down to inject all the while keeping control over the syringe. keeping my thumb up helps me to remember i need to aspirate....hope thi shelps you good luck
- 0Oct 15, '09 by 9livesRNok this is something that i just made up, and it makes sense, is just like taking a breath
you first fiill your lungs with air (aspirate) than you push it out!
so when you get the needle you take a big breath! and then let it out!
lol it is ok to forget stuff, you know what... when i was giving lovenox shots, i used to get mad at the little bubble (air seal) and be like, why they always leave air in these needles! (lol!!! i used to flick the syringe and take the bubble out!) that happened to my first 2 days giving that med, than i made a comment to a really nice nurse, who first craked a loud laugh, then told me about the air lock!

You know there are most likely people on this board that would be willing to buy an X-wing from the starter with a few cards. Hell I might be interested further down the road. Anyways I know with my set up I am leaning on fielding 2 Tie Advanced & 3 Tie fighters.
How Much Stuff Are You Getting?
Posted 13 September 2012 - 06:03 AM
Posted 13 September 2012 - 07:29 AM
Once the next wave of ships comes out, all my TIE fighter problems will go away as I buy at least 4 Interceptors (I love me some Interceptors). But until then I'm just going to need a 6th TIE. I'm wondering if the unique cards that come with the expansions (Ties and X's) are worth getting a second copy of each or is getting the 7th TIE that I'd get with a third Starter better than missing out on making some Skill and droid cards less rare for myself.
As I'm collecting both sides, the 4th X-Wing is no hardship for me either way. But again, having more skill cards available to both sides during squad building has some utility for me.
As far as second wave goes, other than a bunch of Interceptors I'll be buying a pair of A-Wings as soon as those come out too. The Millenium Falcon and Slave-1 are must haves as well. But I only ever plan on getting a single copy of each of those ships.

Help Unlimited HomeCare
This healthcare market continues to grow as healthcare shifts from the hospital to the home. Like many healthcare professionals, these workers need to speed up patient encounters, while providing better care. Providers also face the added challenge of being constantly on the move. Fortunately, home health agency software is designed to automate many of the day-to-day activities professionals encounter—from completing clinicals to scheduling and billing. We have created this guide to help buyers better understand this software market and how to identify which systems will best meet their needs.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Home Health Software?
Common Features of Home Health Software
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Market Trends To Understand
Case Studies
Deployment Strategies
It generally includes features typical of most electronic health records (EHRs) to streamline the day-to-day clinical operations of providers. More specifically, these systems have been designed to automate nearly every process needed in home care—ranging from clinicals, or point-of-care records, to billing, scheduling and accounting. Most systems are designed to take you through the Home Health Care Outcome & Assessment Information Set (OASIS) while keeping patient data secure and HIPAA-compliant.
Some systems offer unique features designed to meet the needs of specialty areas, such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech-language therapy or others. (For more information about software designed for other post-acute care settings, check out our long-term care and nursing home software guide and our assisted living software guide.)
|Point of care
|Assists in conducting and capturing information from OASIS assessments and in determining a Plan of Care. Helps with completing HCFA-485 forms, OBQI reports and HHRG scoring. Stores notes from home aides, hospice, therapists and information on patients' vitals. Functions include internal messaging, medication interaction checks, mobile device and telephony support and infusion therapy support. Also features signature capture, physician portal, ICD-9 database and HL-7 interface.
|Home health billing software manages eligibility verification, claim scrubbing and CMS-1500s. Includes case mix calculator and non-LUPA case adjustment. Functions include ERN posting and electronic remittances, secondary payer support, request for anticipated payment (RAP) support, collections management, billing services and UB-04 support.
|Home health scheduling software manages the process of scheduling patients to ensure accuracy of daily calendars. Features include conflict alerts and wait lists.
|Automates accounting procedures for agencies. Functions include payroll, general ledger, purchase orders, accounts payable and inventory control. Also handles bank reconciliation, accounts receivable, fixed asset management and budgeting/forecasting.
|Human resources (HR)
|Assists in routine activities including healthcare provider background and security checks, tracking time and attendance and payroll. Handles I-9 forms, certification tracking and review management.
|Customer relationship management (CRM)
|Helps coordinate care of patients across specialties, departments and locations, improving the impact of your referral program. Aids with correspondence related to wait lists for hospices with limited space and to donor management for organizations receiving charitable contributions.
Before evaluating software and lining up a formal comparison of systems, you'll want to make sure you know what type of buyer you are, and which home health software vendors meet your needs. We've found almost all buyers fall into one of the four categories listed below:
Home care. These agencies provide care by licensed health workers—including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and licensed therapists—to treat patients for illness or injury. The most important features of home care management software for these agencies will likely be the clinicals (also called point-of-care records) and scheduling features to help you monitor your patient census. Most agencies will also require applications such as human resources, accounting, billing and customer relationship management. Therefore, integrated suites are ideal for these buyers.
Hospice care. Organizations that provide hospice care will often look for human resources and customer relationship management systems. These features help support communications with volunteers and philanthropic donors that help the organization either financially or with in-kind contributions. Human resources features are important for conducting tasks, such as background checks of hospice care workers, payroll and performance reviews.
Private duty. These buyers typically provide non-medical care and require software that can support billing to organizations other than Medicare. They oftentimes also require human resources, scheduling and accounting solutions.
Therapy/rehabilitation. Therapeutic care providers, such as speech therapists and physical therapists, often look to systems to help manage patient data and track therapy progress. Other common needs include ensuring compliance, scheduling, therapist productivity and managing accounts receivable.
Buyers should keep the following trends in mind when researching software. How a vendor fits within these trends can affect its viability.
Software as a Service (SaaS). The growth of cloud, or Web-based, computing practices has touched many industries and healthcare is definitely among them. Within healthcare, home care-centered agencies can appreciate the lower upfront costs of home healthcare software, monthly pricing model, lack of IT infrastructure and remote accessibility that Web-based applications can deliver.
Accessibility from mobile devices. Web-based home care solutions provide convenient access to patient data from mobile devices, such as an iPad, iPhone or Android. This improves your efficiency and reduces paperwork by helping you complete assessments directly at the point of care.
Quality assurance features. Given the prevalence of mobile devices, it can be increasingly important that a point-of-care system automatically generate a Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) form following completion of an OASIS so that payment from Medicare is assured.
Before making the switch to Axxess AgencyCore in November 2011, Illinois-based MedPro Health Providers struggled to maintain visibility and control of agency operations, meet all Medicare compliance requirements and effectively handle billing needs. The agency sought a solution that would help them resolve these issues while facilitating superior communication both internally and externally.
This case study highlights how AgencyCore helped the agency improve communication with patients and physicians, reduce billing issues and boost marketing efforts.
Read it here: "Case Study: Axxess Helps Usher Home Healthcare into the Future."
Advanced RehabTrust, a Denton, TX-based home health agency, found themselves bogged down by billing errors and lengthy, inefficient workflows. The agency embarked on a search for a comprehensive software system that is up-to-date with regulatory and compliance concerns, features efficient billing and streamlines daily processes. After researching other systems, Advanced RehabTrust implemented Kinnser's Agency Manager in August 2010.
In this case study, discover how Kinnser helped the agency reduce costs, completely eliminate billing mistakes, increase productivity and provide higher quality patient care.
Read it here: "Case Study: How Advanced RehabTrust Improved Quality of Care with Kinnser."
When selecting a solution, buyers can choose to implement applications for specific tasks—known as standalone, best-of-breed home healthcare solutions. Or, they can go with an integrated system that has a full suite of tools to address all of their needs—such as accounting, billing, human resources and more. Agencies also need to determine how they would like to access the system. For example, some systems are offered completely over the Internet as Web-based home health software systems. This is also referred to as a software-as-a-service (SaaS). These SaaS systems are typically offered in a pay-as-you-go monthly or annual subscription and are hosted and maintained by the vendor. Other vendors offer on-premise solutions where users install and run the system from a server at your agency. It's important to note that many vendors today offer both SaaS and on-site systems.
We're able to offer this service to buyers for free, because software vendors pay us on a "pay-per-lead" basis. Buyers get great advice. Sellers get great referrals.

Crazy brave Gillard walks schools tightropePUBLISHED: 04 Sep 2012 00:02:58 | UPDATED: 04 Sep 2012 07:02:55PUBLISHED: 04 Sep 2012 PRINT EDITION: 04 Sep 2012
Laura Tingle Political editor
The Labor government believes education is its strongest political suit, its best chance to redefine itself with voters. So it is no surprise that Prime Minister Julia Gillard yesterday upped the stakes and locked her government into a reform program so ambitious as to appear impossible.
It is a crazy brave move in the time available before the next election, a gamble rife both with opportunities for spectacular success and disaster.
The eventual cost of the reforms is but only one aspect of this gamble.
If Labor can demonstrate in the mid-year budget review in November that it had found the money to pay for its plan, at least in the short term, it could generate enough momentum to carry all before it.
Instead, it is planning to wait until the budget to include the education package in its numbers – a madness that leaves it exposed to the "where is the money coming from?" question for the next nine months.
If we reduce the education debate to a time line running from now until the next election – less than a year away – the Prime Minister has sliced up that time and littered it with huge political opportunities or landmines.
First is the promise of legislation this year which would commit Parliament to specific goals in lifting Australia's educational performance, rather than a detailed new funding agreement. Such an aspirational plan should, in an ideal world, be the subject of bipartisan agreement. But we do not live in an ideal world so by introducing legislation that seeks bipartisan agreement, Gillard is simply planning to wedge the Coalition.
Similarly, there is the chance for Gillard to skewer the states as intransigents standing in the way of more education funding for "our children" if they don't co-operate.
But what happens if the states or the various school sectors don't play ball?
How much room to manoeuvre has Gillard got to keep the reform process going so there will still be a plan left at election time? She insists she will only proceed with those who are on board.
The Prime Minister has proved a formidable negotiator on education policy and has delivered a range of reforms in the past which have required the co-operation of the states.
She was pointing to these reforms yesterday as evidence the government knows how to make change work.
But Gillard's credibility in dealing with the Parliament, stakeholders and the states would be greatly enhanced if she was able to demonstrate she had the money to make such big promises.
That is why her speech elevates the political importance of the mid-year budget review. Much of the reaction to the Prime Minister's speech yesterday reflected an exasperation with the fact Labor will not say how much it will put up for these reforms, or how it would spread them around.
But the more fundamental question is always: "Where is the money coming from?" If the PM were able to answer that in November, it would transform the nature of the debate from then on in. If she can't, she is in deep trouble.
Education reform gives Labor the chance to offer voters different choices about the role of government and change the way politics is conducted in this country in the process.
In the past, we have seen governments "buy" voter support for reform with extra handouts. Budget constraints for both sides of politics mean in the future the offer will not be handouts but a choice of one government service (and what is more important than education?) at the cost of another.
Gillard is asking a cynical electorate which doubts her skills at implementing change to trust her with changes that will take a decade to fully implement.
But for schools that are doing it tough, and parents of children wanting some material improvement in their kids' education now, the timeline she has outlined holds little attraction.

Colfax man, 39, missing for days
Two helicopters and several ATVs assisted in a search-and-rescue operation for a missing Colfax man on Wednesday, officials said.
Eric A. Garcia, 39, remains missing, according to the Placer County Sheriff's Department.
Garcia left Rancho Murieta at 5 a.m. Saturday, and hasn't been seen since, deputies said. His family reported his disappearance the following day.
Before leaving on Saturday, Garcia said he was heading home to Colfax to look for his wallet, but he never arrived, according to a brief statement from the Sheriff's Department.
Garcia drives a bronze-colored 1998 Plymouth Breeze, with a license plate that reads 5HTD980.
In Wednesday's effort, investigators combed both side of Interstate 80 and many side roads. The search will likely continue Thursday, officials said.
Deputies are working with Garcia's family on possible routes he might have taken while looking for his lost wallet.
Anyone with information is asked to call 530-889-7800.

I have been POAS for about a week with all BFNS! I did one with FMU today and got the wierdest pink mark on the test part! It isn't a obvious line, it's more of a 'splodge'! It's the first sign of 'pink' i have seen on a IC since using them! I was hoping someone may have had some similar experience with these and could tell me if you went on to have a BFP or if they are just cheap ans unreliable!

All the victims of the City Light Hotel collapse were given an option to shift to nearby corporate hospitals from the Gandhi hospital. Not only did each person decline the offer, a victim who left for a nearby private hospital later came back and got himself readmitted
Dr. M. Chandrasekhar was looking forward for his third day at the office as Superintendent of Gandhi Hospital. An authority in emergency medicine, the senior doctor had no idea that the day will put him on trial.
At exactly 8.40 a.m. on Monday, July 8, he received a call from the duty doctor, alerting him that a building in Secunderabad has collapsed and already there are 10 dead bodies at the casualty department.
Prompt action
The news was shocking but needed steady hands.
"We anticipated more casualties and injuries. I immediately spoke to heads of orthopaedic, cardiology, anaesthesia and general medicine. They had to rise to the occasion and they did on that day. I reached the hospital at around 9 a.m. and they were already there with support staff to receive victims," he recalls.
By 9.30 a.m., the hospital's casualty wing was occupied with bodies, critically injured and those with minor injuries in the City Light Hotel collapse. Outside, the administration was bombarded with queries from police, VIP visits and the media.
"It was mayhem and we anticipated it. Our only aim was to save lives and we did our best," he avers.
The casualty department received 19 critically injured patients, 13 casualties and more than 20 victims with minor injuries. At the end of the day, the doctors lost two and managed to save 17. Within the next 18 hours, the mortuary department doctors go on to conduct post-mortem on 17 bodies without a break to enable quick release of bodies to relatives.
Interestingly, all the victims were given an option to shift to any nearby corporate hospital. Everybody declined.
"We were the first to touch the victims. A majority of them were unable to breathe at all. We immediately resuscitated them and later prepared them for surgeries. Three cases were very serious and we had to put them on ventilators," says Head of Anaesthesia Department, Dr. Upendra Goud.
The nature of injuries were such that doctors, nurses and support staff from the department of orthopaedic, anaesthesia and general surgery had to attend to the victims.
"A series of surgeries related to pelvic, hip and other joints were taken up immediately. Our general surgery doctors had to remove intestines of one feet length on a patient, which is a complicated surgery," explains Dr. Chandrasekhar.
On Friday, the hospital staff was appreciated.
"The most satisfying thing is that none of the victims complained about the treatment. In fact, a victim, who left to a nearby private hospital, later came back and got himself readmitted at Gandhi Hospital. The government will support the hospital in all its endeavours," said Principal Secretary, Health, Medical and Family Welfare, L. V. Subramanyam.

Euroseas sank into the red in the third quarter but the Greek container ship and bulk carrier owner said the market downturn provides opportunities to boost its fleet with attractively priced vessels.
The Nasdaq-listed company, which owns nine box ships, six bulkers and one general cargo vessel, booked a net loss of $800,000 for the three months through the end of September compared with a year-earlier profit of $600,000 on net charter revenue, down 17.5 percent at $13.4 million.
Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization slumped 39.9 percent to $4 million.
"During the third quarter...the container ship market continued being depressed with no boost in charter rates during the usual holiday-targeted seasonal uptick during September and October," said CEO Aristides Pittas. Dry bulk rates also continued their downward slide during the quarter.
"While most of our container ships are chartered at the presently low market levels, our dry bulk vessels benefit from previously entered charter contracts with higher rates well into 2013," he said.
The difficult operating environment also presents opportunities to invest in vessels at very attractive valuations.
"We believe that our strong balance sheet and low leverage will allow us not only to manage the challenging year ahead but be in a position to capitalize on investment opportunities as they appear to renew and expand our fleet," Pittas said.

My goal for May is to run 5K in 30' or less. Today I did 3 miles in 32:23. That's another minute shaved off. I'm getting close enough that I'm going to do 3.11 mi for time now. That's REALLY 5K. 3 mi was 'close enough' but it's not anymore.
Today's 3mi (plus cool down) brings me to 20 miles.
My back is still hurting. I did some foam rolling and I'll do some more later. I'm really mad at myself for not noticing I was hurting it - either in the yard or at the gym.
Weight is right about goal. Trying not to stress about it. Goal *is* goal. I'd like to go on my next cruise 5 pounds under goal so I can eat and drink whatever strikes my fancy but I'm not going to feel deprived between now and then to do it. If I go in at goal, I go in at goal. I'll just have to careful about keeping calories in check. Worked last time. Of course, the food wasn't nearly as good as I expect it will be on the next cruise.
First 5K race in 4 days. I can NOT believe I am running. (Seriously! I find it easier to jog at 5.0MPH than to walk at 4.5MPH so now I jog/run instead of walk/run my intervals.)
Weighted side lunges did me in today. I was putting the weights all the way to the floor. Unfortunately, I think that I was rounding my back to do it. Lower back hurts now. I did make adjustments but too late to avoid pain today. Stupid move. I sometimes have a heard time telling the difference between working a muscle and hurting myself! Went from my whole body workout circuit (2x) to Centergy. I was hoping centergy would help my back but it didn't. Burned a lot of calories between the 2 back-to-back workouts and feel good enough to do all my household chores. I really hope my back feels better tomorrow!
The weekend was nice. We celebrated Cinco de Mayo. I overdid it in the food department - all healthy ('clean') foods but too much. Weighed in higher than I wanted to this morning but my morning was such that I suspect tomorrow will be a reasonable weighin. Yesterday I finally got back to doing some yard work. Yard work was the ONLY thing my orthopedic surgeon told me to avoid when he released me in April 2011. I figure I can't avoid it forever. I'll take it slow! My husband is doing the bulk of the yard work and it's really starting to shape up again out there. I love how everything looks all mulched :-)
Signed up for 2 5Ks yesterday. One is this weekend so that I can get my first 5K behind me. The other is here in town in September. That one should keep me running. Between the two races... who knows... all depends on how the first one goes, I guess. If it's fun maybe I'll do one a month. Otherwise I can make up my own 5K and time myself and just work on beating myself.
Went to the park and ran/walked 4.7K in 27:15. That's with my son slowing me down in te first lap (1/3) before I left him behind in the second lap. That's on track for 29:00 for a 5K. Toss in some walking with the family at the end and I'll call it 3 mi. That brings me to 17 miles.
I'm thinking I'll do 3 or 4 laps each weekend to track my time. Definitely going to start looking for local 5Ks. Great distance for me.
Even after splurging on 2 pieces of ice cream cake in honor of my eldest's half birthday, I was only up 1/2 pound of the 2 that disappeared. I KNOW that's water (they were within my calorie budget for the day) and it was super yummy.
I did the lower body workout from my trainer today. I had to look up most of the moves using google because it's been 2 weeks since he ran through it with me and I'd forgotten. GREAT workout. I don't usually like using the TRX system but the 3 moves in today's workout were great AND I really felt like using the TRX added to the move. It burned a decent number of calories too. So far none of his workouts (aside from the metabolic ones that include a lot of explosive movements/jumping/etc) burn calories like the ones in The Female Body Breakthrough but so far none of his workouts have hurt me either.
Looking forward to the weekend. Grocery shopped to make Chipotle-style barbacoa burritos (bowl for me!) for Cinco de Mayo and hit the mmmmmMocha Truffle jackpot. Restrained myself and only brought home 3 boxes though. Put them in the deep freeze so my daughter won't eat them all on me!
Speaking of my daughter..... she has scoliosis which was treated successfully with bracing. She's now been out-of-brace for almost 2 years after 7+ years of night-time bracing. All that bracing left her core weak and her adolescent growth spurt left her hamstrings tight so she did physical therapy for a while. That never really clicked with her. She didn't like going to PT and she was highly resistant to the 'home program'. Back in February we switched her from physical therapy to personal training with my trainer (at home since she's too young for the gym). THAT has gone much better. She still has to be told to work out and she doesn't always get in all her workouts but she gets in WAY more than she ever did when her 'workouts' were called a 'home program' and her PT was the more medical Physical Therapy versus the more sport Physical Training. She's progressing nicely and it's really weird to watch her doing moves that I had to work up to. She feels stronger, looks leaner, and I think it's given her more self-confidence. Sometimes I roll eyes at myself 'I can NOT be-LIEVE you hired a trainer for your tween' but when I look at the benefits and realize that it costs LESS than her kung fu lessons cost her (which she NEVER ONCE carried over to activity outside of the lessons) I stop the eye rolling and just feel grateful that we can afford to do this for her.
I stop beating myself up mentally and wake up 2 pounds lighter. A weight off my shoulders because I decided to be good to myself? Relaxing and letting my body do it's thing instead of stressing? Who knows! And I'm bound to mess it up a bit when I splurge on ice cream cake to celebrate my son's half birthday. I sure was glad to see the scale move though and that big movement backs up my suspicion that this has more to do with hydration and my GI tract being off than it has to do with gaining 3 pounds of fat.
Another 5K on the treadmill today - walking 4.0 MPH for 0.25 miles then running 6.2-6.4 MPH for 0.5 miles. Finished 5K at 33:45. Walked 3.4 or so miles in total but I'll call it 3.25. That brings me to 14.5 mi. :-)
There's a new centergy release and it's interesting. Mixing it up always shows me that I'm not quite as strong as I think I am and it seems each new release highlights that there's work to be done in a different area than I felt needed work at the beginning of the previous release. They do a good job of mixing it up.

Birds by name
Murmuration exaltation: a starling flock forms a fantastic acrobatic mass before roosting
Image: David Kjaer
During autumn, dark clouds begin to form in the sky above fields, woodlands and reedbeds. But these are no ordinary clouds. They are one of the UK's most incredible wildlife spectacles.
Throughout the autumn and winter months, hundreds of thousands of starlings turn the sky black around the UK. The birds come together in huge clouds, wheeling, turning and swooping in unison.
You can see this jaw-dropping wildlife spectacle, known as a 'murmuration', on many of our nature reserves and other sites.
Play our video to see starlings performing this fantastic display at RSPB Fen Drayton Lakes nature reserve in Cambridgeshire.
Early evening, just before dusk, is the best time to see them across the UK as they perform their aerial dance and choose their communal night-time shelter. They roost in places that are sheltered from harsh weather and predators.
They tend to roost in woodlands, but reedbeds, cliffs, buildings and industrial structures are also used. During the day, however, they form daytime roosts at exposed places such as treetops, where the birds have good all-round visibility.
Autumn roosts usually begin to form in November, though this varies from site to site and some can begin as early as September. More and more birds will flock together as the weeks go on, and the number of starlings in a roost can swell to around 100,000 in some places.
The huge gatherings are at their largest in winter, as they are boosted by thousands of migrant birds visiting from Europe for Britain's milder Atlantic climate.
Starlings join forces for many reasons. Grouping together offers safety in numbers – predators such as peregrine falcons find it hard to target one bird amidst a hypnotising flock of thousands.
'The starling roost is one of the most incredible natural spectacles we enjoy here in the UK and they are so easy to see.' Johann Holt, RSPB
Starlings also gather to keep warm at night and to exchange information, such as good feeding areas. They often feed miles away from where they roost - sometimes up to 20 miles away. They return to their roosting site at around the same time each evening.
Their timing is so precise that the RSPB's Johann Holt says: 'In many cases they are like clockwork – you know that at a certain time in the evening the sky will start to turn black, and it's mesmerizing watching the flock grow and grow.'
Once inside the roost, starlings take their time to settle and are quite vocal. Noise levels increase again towards dawn, and the birds leave in waves. These flocks can be detected on radar, which allows detailed monitoring of their movements.
Despite the incredible size of the flocks, these numbers are just a fraction of what they used to be. Huge starling flocks used to gather over Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Belfast, but you have a much better chance of seeing the birds in rural areas.
The starling population has crashed by over 70% in recent years, meaning they are now on the critical list of UK birds most at risk.
The decline is believed to be due to the loss of permanent pasture, increased use of farm chemicals and a shortage of food and nesting sites in many parts of the UK.
The RSPB's Johann Holt says: 'We are very honoured that the flocks choose so many of our reserves for night-time shelter, but many roost near well known tourist destinations like Brighton Pier, too.'
Popular sites to see starlings include Gretna Green in Dumfries and Galloway, and Brighton Pier, Sussex. Several of our reserves make great viewing spots too. These include Leighton Moss, Lancashire; Saltholme, Middlesbrough; Ham Wall, Somerset; Newport Wetlands, Newport; and Snape, Suffolk.
