Happy Thanksgiving Day.
Image via WikipediaThanksgiving Day in United States is observed on the fourth Thursday in November which has been an annual tradition in the United States since 1863, when during the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln proclaimed a national day of thanksgiving to be celebrated on Thursday, November 26.
The event that Americans commonly call the "First Thanksgiving" was celebrated to give thanks to God for helping the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony survive their first brutal winter in New England. The first Thanksgiving feast lasted three days, providing enough food for 53 pilgrims and 90 Native Americans. The feast consisted of fish (cod, eels, and bass) and shellfish (clams, lobster, and mussels), wild fowl (ducks, geese, swans, and turkey), venison, berries and fruit, vegetables (peas, pumpkin, beetroot and possibly, wild or cultivated onion), harvest grains (barley and wheat), and the Three Sisters: beans, dried Indian maize or corn, and squash.
In recent days during thanksgiving, families and friends usually gather for a large meal or dinner. Thanksgiving Eve, the night before the thanksgiving is one of the busiest nights for the bars and clubs and weekend is one of the busiest travel period of the year.
Day after Thanksgiving (BLACK FRIDAY)
The day after Thanksgiving is a day off for some companies and many schools. It is popularly known as Black Friday, because of the heavy shopping that day helps put retailers books back into black. Black Friday has been considered by retailers to be the start of the Christmas shopping season since as early as the 1930s.

Wishing you all a very
Happy Vijaya Dashami & Tihar
Though I know it is tough time for us, people in Medical Transcription field. Almost all the government and private companies will be closed by tomorrow, i.e. Thursday, October 14, 2010 (फुलपाति) till Friday, October 22, 2010 (कोज्रागत पुर्निमा) as we are observing the yearly biggest festival.
Most probably shifts will be started early to accomplish the day’s assignment earlier. Companies working from India or other vendor may request for lesser jobs for specific days though they won’t be minimizing remarkably. Even worse with the companies with direct clients who won’t be able to reduce at all. More to add trouble in, we can never be sure of the volume of job we get. If the volume gets high, …???
Thankfully this year the main day (बिजया दशमी) happened to fall on Sunday. And most of the transcription companies get lesser job volumes on Saturday. So I hope we all will have at least two days to enjoy.

College ends medical transcription program
Recently Delhi university announced it Medical transcription program for the first time for producing better transcriptionist India including South Asia. In the mean time San Juan College is closing its medical transcription program stating that there is less room for advancement in the field.
Daily times cotes:
Fearing it may be preparing students for a diminishing profession, San Juan College will shut down its medical transcription program at the end of the school year.
Many health care professionals anticipate computer programs will soon replace medical transcriptionists.
The School of Health Sciences will focus on modernizing the coding and health information technologies degrees instead. Students with those degrees are qualified for better paying jobs, said Oliver Borden, the dean of the health sciences school.
"One of the reasons we're getting out of (medical transcription) is because there is less room for advancement" as medical transcriptionists, he said. "We're choosing to focus on a major that has the brightest future."
The 30 students currently enrolled in the medical transcription program have until the end of the school year to complete the two-semester program.
Medical transcriptionists have an average salary of $24,000 to $30,000 dollars per year, and there are few opportunities for earning a raise in that field, Borden said.
On the other hand, students who graduate with a health information technology degree from the college are more versatile, and if they turn their associate degree into a bachelor's and then a master's degree, their average salary would increase to $81,500, Borden said.
"It gives them a chance at life-long learning," he said. "There are stepping stones that are available."
Hospitals and health care providers are switching to electronic medical records and a new coding system, Borden said. The Bureau of Labor Statistics is predicting a 22-percent increase in jobs in the health care industry by 2018. The college is reshaping the health sciences school so students can get those jobs, Borden said.
Several local health care providers said in recent years they have outsourced medical transcription services or begun using computer programs for the service.
"It's cheaper and a lot faster," said Tabitha Joyce, the office manager for High Desert Rheumatology.
A year ago, High Desert Rheumatology and Internal Medicine started outsourcing medical transcription services to Intivia, a New Jersey-based company that uses a computer program to make transcriptions within 48 hours. Read More...
