Fourth grade
Sounds like she is in 4th grade (age 9)? Most people agree that that is a tough year. I remember it was for me and my twin sister. I was not comfortable with competitive sports, but I think it would have given me confidence (and an outlet for all the negative energy of anxiety) if I had taken martial arts after school, or gymnastics or something like that to give me confidence and strength.
No - fourth year resident, still in medical school - no MD degree yet. nm

OT: Girl singer on the July 4th shows - did anyone catch this show on the Fourth?
I'm trying to find the name of one of the performers on the evening of the Fourth who sang God Bless the Child (I think it was on the show where the President attended). Does anyone know who that singer was? I missed the first half of her song and they did not announce her name again at the end. I thought it might have been Brandy but I haven't kept up with celebs lately.
Thanks in advance.
I have very few "canned" paragraphs.
I have 15000 or more words or phrases. You have to work at using an expander. I know, IT advertises it does wonders, but in reality, you still have to be creative and make the shortcuts. IT is not the best or fastest Expander for most people.
Go to a productivity site, read the various technques used, see the various words and phrases that people use, and then start using your head and put it all together. There is no quick easy solution.
Read it and weep (ESPECIALLY the last 2 paragraphs)
Still think AAMT/AHDI is your champion?

Combined Companies Create Premier Outsourced Transcription Provider
Heartland Information Services has merged with Spryance, Inc., forming one of the premier offshore transcription providers in the United States. Spryance shareholders will fund the purchase of Heartland Information Services from HCR ManorCare. The new combined company will be marketed under the Heartland Information Services brand.
Headquartered in Boston, Spryance provides transcription service to more than 175 hospitals and clinics across the country, utilizing 1,200 MTs in India. Heartland’s corporate headquarters is located in Toledo, Ohio, with work centers in Bangalore and Delhi, India. By combining companies, the new Heartland will have over 2,500 medical transcriptionists providing service to over 200 hospital and clinical customers.
Dennis Paulik, General Manager of Heartland, will become the President and CEO of the new combined company. Raj Malhotra, CEO of Spryance, will become Chairman of the Board of the combined companies. Joining Mr. Malhotra on the board will be Gene Barduson, Chairman and CEO, Alteer, Inc., Dennis Byerly, former CEO Third Millennium Healthcare Systems, Inc., Mahendra Patel, formerly with DEC, David Beecken, Partner, Beecken Petty O’Keefe & Company, and Thomas Schleisinger, Partner, Beecken Petty O’Keefe & Company.
“Combining the two companies creates synergies that will add value for customers,” says Dennis Paulik, President and CEO of the new Heartland Information Services. “For example, Heartland provides industry-leading quality and customer support and Spryance provides capacity and scalability.”
“The Spryance investors, led by Beecken Petty O’Keefe & Company and International Finance Corporation, provide the financial strength and resources for the new Heartland to grow rapidly,” adds Mr. Malhotra, Heartland Information Services Chairman of the Board.
THE cost-saving initiative of out-sourcing medical notes to India for typing is facing major problems. An internet link used to transfer patient information from Lister Hospital to India has failed to meet the needs of East and North Herts NHS Trust, both in terms of speed and capacity. The Trust had hoped to save as much as £1million by axing 15 medical secretary posts and outsourcing their work. However, a medical secretary from Lister said: "After the medical secretaries were made redundant it was discovered that the NHS server for the typing to be sent over the internet to India could not cope with this system. Medical secretaries are being told that the typing will be kept at the Trust for us to type, as done in the past."
Danny Mortimer, the Trust's director of human resources, said: "Like any project of its size, there will always be initial teething problems."
"Nationally the NHS is experiencing problems with this link, both in terms of its speed and capacity of transfer of information across the internet. Contingency plans are being considered locally by the Trust, including using a separate, secure link to the internet for the medical transcription service until the problems affecting it are resolved nationally. The Trust has introduced the medical transcription service because it knows that it will save money, while at the same time providing a consistent, high-quality service. This is proving to be the case already, although more work remains to be done."
American Association for Medical Transcription, in association with Prometric, announced the Registered Medical Transcriptionist (RMT) credentialing exam – a newly developed global ‘level-1’ credential in the arena of Medical Transcription. This program is aimed at helping the existing talent pool to scale up and meet the global standards and quality benchmarks. The two organizations also announced a special ‘India price’ for AAMT’s existing Certified Medical Transcriptionist (CMT) exam.
Medical Transcription is a booming industry with exponential growth prospects and opportunities for committed players. While globally the industry potential is around USD 30-33 billion, in India it is around USD 300 million. Currently, there are around 18,000 medical practitioners in the country and this is expected to almost double within the next 2-3 years.
copy (highlight0 paragraphs and hit control E.
do you mean save something into your expansion file? I copy (highlight) what I want to save and then hit control E 
You can insert entire paragraphs by easliy using the macro sm
feature.
Tools - macro- record new macro. name the macro box appears ( name it whatever you need to, i.e. Dr. Smith's appendecomy) and then a little box will appear to begining recording it. Type as much or as long of a paragraph as you need. This can be very very long! even pages if you want!!!) then hit the st (telling the macro to stop recording.) Next time you need to pull up that paragraph go into tools again and since you named it you should be able to find it easiy. The macros get stored in alphabetical order.
The macro that you make this way does not record mouse movements, only keyboard movements, but you can have long paragraphs easily inserted right into your document using this.
This is a great place (in macros) to store MDs names and adresses too. Then assign a shortcut key to open the macro box faster and voila! everyone will wonder how you got your work done so fast.
It means you have special formatting applied to those paragraphs sm
like keep lines together or keep with next. You can turn those squares off with the show/hide button on the toolbar or hit Ctrl+Shift +8 to toggle marks on or off -- that's probably what you hit to turn them on.
Word counts the blank lines between paragraphs unless you change
your paragraph style to double space when you hit enter. You need to change the "after" setting in the spacing section of the paragraph dialog box to the point size of the font you are using and click the Default button. You'll probably want to do this in a separate template unless you want this setting for all new documents.
