Does China now own a large portion of U.S. Treasury bonds? You sound "in the know."

How can you feel loyalty to a company that so clearly has no regard for a large portion of its MTs.
;O
actually I buy I bonds, can't trust myself with a savings account

I send one quarterly check to the Dept of Treasury which --sm
distributes to appropriate categories. I also send a separate check to NC Dept of Revenue for state taxes.
Well, I just took the first portion and already they said I
test as I kept a copy of it. I do see ONE error out of the whole test and that's it and they didn't give me test results. I saw the one error on my own. The rest of the test is completely correct. I have been in the MT industry for over 20 years so I know what I'm doing. Don't waste your time testing for AssistMed. Joan
Call IRS and tell them I will take your portion.

I have posted a portion of MQ article here
Operating Income:
Preliminary, unaudited results indicate that operating income declined from approximately $61 million, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2003 to approximately $23 million for the comparable 2004 period. The decline in operating income includes: 1) the impact of approximately $11 million in costs incurred in 2004 related to the ongoing billing investigation and associated litigation, 2) approximately $4 million in costs associated with separation and replacement of the Company's management team, including members at the executive level and 3) approximately $3 million associated with the write-off of intangible assets associated with products no longer being offered. In addition, the base business, as described above in the Revenues section, experienced a decline in transcription service volume from existing and lost clients and a decline in transcription service rates charged to customers. The impact of the revenue decline was partially offset by several cost saving initiatives including reductions in telecommunications costs, office consolidations and associated staff reductions.
I use the healt portion of www.answers.com
There are several online medical dictionary sites. I suggest you Google 'free online medical dictionary' and go from there. They are all set up so differently. Find one you like.
I only use www.answers.com and www.rxlist.com for meds. All I need.
If they are paying 7cpl for the editing portion lol nm
That was for the EditScript ad right? If it was for the editing portion, I'd take it :-) Sadly it isn't.
Portion of pest control if you have that service. nm

So, you have to be in the "in crowd"
to get an invitation??? It seems to me that it would be polite to not talk about The Other Board if it is private. Very bad manners.
"In lieu of"
Ever notice a lot of docs don't know what this phrase means? It's so obvious they mean "in view of" but when they say "in lieu of" it means exactly the opposite of what they are trying to say. (FYI: It means "instead of"). Okay, so I'm on a verbatim account. This is causing me a dilemma.
PS "in the business"
Don't write when you're flaming upset, that should be "in" not "on".
"In the old days"....
I always worked in private physician/group offices and have always had access to the chart - and to the physicians. I see your point in hospitals. 
deduct telephone, electric and portion of house payments.
Hope this helps!
you actually use the word "grossly "in
as in "grossly normal" and people think youre crazy
Ever had a dog that "chases" cars "in the car?"
We just adopted a dog last month from the SPCA. She's a great dog, very young but past puppyhood, spayed, housebroken, sits, stays, everything you couuld ask for when getting a "used dog." BUT.... We've discovered that her hobby in the car is sitting by the window until a car passes and then "chasing it." She will take breaks and lay down and sleep for a while, but then gets back to her hobby. When we leave her in the car, she just sleeps, so she's basically a pretty good passenger other than the chasing. Anybody ever heard of this before?
that should be "in your career". Geez!

"In the year of our Lord..."
Yeah, had a doc who dictated like THAT...'In this, the year of our Lord, Two-Thousand and Eight,' and demanded it be typed out like that. He had some other really bizarre, idiosyncratic stuff too, such as references to previous presidents (which I could remember the context in which he used those references).
I used to despise typing his reports, but I really felt bad for the poor referring physicians trying to read through all his eccentric extraneous babbling to get to what was wrong with the patient.
Some of these docs are just...WEIRD.
"And I Love Her," and "In My Life." nm

There arent as many "in house" places as there used to be.

The disclaimer "in my experience" is important
In a lot of the original discussions there were not disclaimers, there were generalizations. Big difference. I still think there is a flaw in the argument which begins "well I know some, so", but it's an improvement.
It's just that in discussing these issues, there's a line that crosses over into talking about a people negatively versus talking about the issues. That's what I've tried to point out.
Might be some tips on foodtv.com. Most big cookbooks also give portion sizes and party info. nm

"In lieu of" sorry, my name is not check line count? nm

I agree. Now it seems the "in" thing is teeth cleaning sm
I'm fortunate in that I live in a small town and my vet is very good and very reasonable. Doesn't try to persuade you to have anything extra done but will do things if you want them done.
makes sense, but I don't know if I could stand the "in-between" stage (nm)

China?
Costco owned by China you say?
So what? SO WHAT?????
I do not get when "in a rush" became a good reason to not find your own answers..
better up my meds I guess.
I just left China
Actually, I just left China. Poor old souls. Not many pretty women in China.
I needed to get home to the states to see all the beautiful women. I felt like I was intoxicated when I came through the door at Medquist and saw all my beautiful gals.
Sara Lee in China?
I'm also hearing that Sara Lee, you know, cakes and pastries? Well they also have many of their products made in CHINA now!!!
yep, it's china - who will take over world by
google that subject......if you so desire....about China taking over the entire world (not in my lifetime thankfully) by 2039-2040.
I remember when I was 12 years old, a chinese restaurant in White Plains, NY, that my folks took us too all the time, was closed down because they found dog and cat bones in their trash.
LOL - in another 25 years China will be
If indeed more co. using China labor we need

Not the least of the borrowed $$ from China is for...sm
of course, those stimulus checks! Does that make sense to anybody? Not me in this credit-card-driven economy. This is starting to catch up with this country. Some day very soon, trust me, we are going to be owned by other countries - or just plain bankrupt and barely scratching by. My thoughts (from some research I've done) are that this will be yet another third-world country, thanks in the largest part to Bush and his wasteful spending on everything but this country or its citizens!!! Such a sad state of affairs!
Used to be machinist, until all the jobs went to china. NM

dog abuse in China story
Listen . . . .what is your real posting name anyway?
My priorities are not your concern. It is a well known fact that people who abuse animals easily go on to violent behavior against people. If clubbing innocent dogs to death doesn't bother you, it should. There are much better ways to deal with a rabies problem than that. Perhaps instead of ranting about my priorities, maybe you could put your energy toward helping create a solution for the abuse of innocent childern or one of the other million problems going on in the world. What ARE YOU doing to help make the world a better place?

Please click on the following link to help stop the killing of the dogs in China in such a horrible inhumane way. Thank you.

thank you for the dogs in China link
We CAN make a difference - thank you.
"How to off-shore MT to China?"...
Why in the WORLD would they be involved with something in China, unless they are planning to assist them with taking MORE of our work????? I can see it now . . . first China, then India, Pakistan...on and on. We can pay to watch them put us out of work. Yipee. "American" was taken out of the name for obvious reasons.
Same here, although I won't be spending it on a trip to China
I do disagree about not being good at MT though. I think many competent MTs shoot themselves in the foot by not recognizing the value of their skills and working for less than they are worth.
Especially their interest in CHINA, of all places. -sm
Look at what's been coming out of there already - poison pet food, poison people food, badly made and dangerous children's toys, flimsy everything else, etc. They try to bend the rules on just about everything they make & export.
Imagine the quality of their medical transcription.....
[* SHUDDER! *] :/
not only that, last week 172 miners in China
and they say China will take over the world in 2039-2040.....thankfully and hopefully by then I'll be longgggggggggggggg gone....*lol*
And India and China can organize their own
And the big salaries of AHDT board members will go bye-bye!
Walmart opened up 15 stores in CHINA....nm

2039/2040 is when CHINA will really control us.NM

India and China will undoubtedly be creating
Just as the blue collar workers in manufacturing can be replaced, in this global setting, so can the entire corporations - I give them 10 years before the enterprising businessmen in China, India (whereever US CEOs have fled to gain access to slave labor) steal the info and create their own companies and compete as they certainly would be happy with a fraction of the American CEOs income.
just wait - in 2039 or 2040 CHINA will rule...nm
I had heard China holds our notes, and this article verifies that. Also, are you
Back decades ago the US had a gentleman's agreement for the oil from Saudi in exchange for us to be their police protection. Now suddenly the prince of Saudi has been courting Asia to sell it's oil to. Well, Asia will be a good customer.......for the short haul but China does not have the infrastructure to use as much oil as the US does.
An investor I know keeps telling me there is an expected depression this year or early next (2007). I keep seeing things that make me think its so. I know WalMart is doing odd things with its merchandise. And they are working their employees like slaves! having cashiers do toilets, and working the floors way understaffed.
Other companies are seeing the same thing. The companies are trying not to reduce their expected profits, so they are taking it off the backs of employees through taking the pensions, whittling off health insurance, less and less holiday leave, making people do the job of 2 or 3 others.
Our economy is built on hot air.
There were more bankrupcys this month than every before. Also credit cards are getting slower and slower payments in.
People all around me are losing their jobs with the speed of light, I don't care what you READ in the newspaper. They can print whatever they want to, but the reality is in talking to your neighbors and putting your ear to the ground. Salaries are going south, people are sitting here like us with no raises for years.
What makes me sick is our govt officials keep feeding vitamins and jobs to countries that HATE us - China and India. Why in the world! I know they are under the idea that *democracy* spreads peace in the world, but the *democracy* the United States is spreading right now doesn't look right to me. We are losing our rights, our homes to eminent domain, being overrun with illegals and yet the illegals are getting the health care (I typed on someone last night who was not working in this country, not even a legal immigrant, and they were doing scads of tests on this person! and yet I sit here having paid taxes for 45 years and can't afford to own a home or go to the dentist. My car is 20 years old. Where is my country when I need them?)
It's CHINA for Pete's sake, where they still kill girl babies. Do you think
they have some sort of dog euthanasia patrol of paid government employees? Puhleeeze yourself.
Agree, we are only seeing the beginning of losing so many jobs overseas to India, China, etc., etc.,
This is a sad reality. However, our country has let this go on for years now.
