Advantages of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT): EFT is similar to other direct deposit operations such as paycheck deposits, and it offers a safe modern alternative to paper checks. Providers who use EFT may notice the following benefits:
Yes! Why not let patients using non-participating providers have the same benefits of EFT?? Why paper for us??
For the government, the policy is in line with a trend toward paperless banking that will curb theft and save $120 million a year in costs.
Let's hope that Medicare quickly gets rid of those silly paper checks they send to us when we use a non-participating provider. At least give us the choice to have those payments go right to the bank.
Intuit has a chance to renew itself. I hope that it does.,
I used to post feedback with an assignment.
Many students did not read the feedback.
However, they always checked their grade
So I would not use a grade book until late in the semester and that forced them to read the feedback on the assignment.
Blackboard CE8 has allowed me to put it all in one place.
Here is a pretend student where I use a link and a picture.

To be drugged by the comforts of privilege
is to become contributors to injustice
as silent beneficiaries of the fruits of injustice."

A difficult challenge for me.
The world has not tackled the problems at the heart of the economic downturn and is likely to slip back into recession, according to one of the few mainstream economists who predicted the financial crisis.
Something to ponder.
The researchers found no association between all-cause mortality and BMI or waist circumference; the link was only with waist-hip ratio.
In women, each 0.1 increase in the waist-hip ratio was associated with a 28 percent relative increase in mortality rate (the number of deaths per 100 older adults per year) in the group sampled. Thus, if the waist-hip ratio rose from 0.8 to 0.9 or from 0.9 to 1.0, it would mean a 28 percent relative increase in the death rate.
Put another way, if hip size is 40 inches, an increase in waist size from 32 to 36 inches signaled a 28 percent relative death-rate increase.
This info has been around for some time, but seldom mentioned.
