A.H.I.M.A(American Health Information Management Association Rips-off members

This is a comment I left on their site www.ahima.org(American Health Information Management Association).If it did’nt post my blog here is where you can see it.I spoke up for some coders that have complained privately on their business practices.

I’m appalled by your organizations insensitiveness towards your Medical-coder members.Not informing them that you were no longer mailing out Renewal-cards.You chose to go paperless and have them update their status online.The Identity-theft incurred by members and consumers alike is compromised through updating their personal information online to secured sites.Hackers still obtain it through loopholes in the sites or the manufactured ones they create in the firewalls.Thus your company should understand members apprehension.

Then there’s the Members-recognition issue.In recent years coding-members were acknowledge in the association’s journal for their crowning-achievement in passing their exams to acquire certification for their specialty in the medical-industry.Now that’s gone and it’s only accessible online for local chapters.

Did those factors occur to you? with the high fees your members already pay,along with the $300 plus for their study book/materials.That most would perfer the paper-renewals by mail.It’s the least you can do to offset those cost.But your company’s bottom-line is money and status to rank amoung medical criteria’s elite.

You’d rather do that and foresake the very people medical-coders whose money put you where you are.You’ll say it’s not that,when it is..It’s just the American-way.This is for the coders,I know that purchase your books.

Atlanta’s about the Money

You often hear “Hotlanta’ as it’s known to the natives.Others that have moved here say,it’s vibrant and the gateway of the south.However,within the city’s government there’s out on the manipulation at the highest level going on.Specifically in the housing redevelopment projects of Northwest Atlanta(Westside) to most familar with it.There’s two distinctions:One side of Northside Dr.N.W. Atlanta is Buckhead,affluent it shares the 30318 zip code.Though it has it’s own and another city literally.Have you heard of Atlantic Station?.

Then there’s Hollywood courts and Bowen Homes apartment tenants Afro-americans now displaced.They were given token-vouchers to move into other black communities.Subdivisions homes occupied by middle-class black families.The transition has not been easy for low income afro-american families.Forced from the public housing they could Afford.

Though warned in flyers given by the two apartment communities initially passed down from The Atlanta housing authority.The issue is  the cloak of secrecy,motives from the city of Atlanta it’s division of housing and the white developers.To not inform those  Afro-americans why they’re acquiring large acres of land from them on the westside section of the city.

Afro-americans in this part of the city,are thriving though slightly above poverty-level.However,the city of Atlanta is employing higher property-taxes for low income to middle-class families.This illicit method is Predatory-lending racism.It cripples Afro-american families and destroys their communities.

Which is the plan of the city to acquire the large building contracts from white-developers and Jack Nicholas to build new Luxury 18-holes Golf communities.Starting at Sphinx st. through Carver homes where Perry Blvd intersects.Currently the city of Atlanta is completing work on the bridge at Hollywood Rd.,N.W.Atlanta.Alexander Tires will be rebuilt as a police annex and fire department.These plans have been in the works since the seventies.It’s just more obvious now.

Nicholas tried obtaining these properties before unsuccessful.City government continue getting long  and large money for themselves.It’s at the expense of the good resisdents.Not good at all just big city government with fat pockets.You can’t get them to come clean up these neighborhoods or dispatch 911 in time to save lives.Because that’s Atlanta period,high cost of living below bar services.

When you need help paying mortgage,rent,utilities.You have to live like me in Henry county,Stockbridge or Clayton county to get the help you need.The Westside is where I lived after moving here from Chicago.That’s why it’s disheartening.Don’t be stereotypical:A closed book.I implore you to go and sit at those small community meetings.So,you’ll know what will affect you.

What’s yahoo spam policy,anyone?

By Maurice D.Williams

Okay,Yahoo again has blocked my other account.Due to what they or their system saying my email contained spam.I told them vehemently,I’d put them on blast for closing my account.I’m sure I’m not the only one,whom they’ve done this way.But everyone will know of it.Because it’s beyond ridiculous,it’s border-line harassment.

Their becoming like homeland-security,constantly labeling everything or person as athreat to national security.Like that twelve year old boy,recently in the news.This isn’t like some of the children in the middle-east,they’re trained at that age or younger to kill supposely in the name of Allah.Thus it’s wrong to subject this american child to unnecessary ridicule he’s not deservant of.Nor should I be.Below is the original email,I sent to yahoo asking what in it presented it as spam?.

Dear Yahoo, Below is an email from my other acct:maurice_wll869@yahoo.com you just blocked-again for supposed spam.I’m a Blogger and this is a post of a job.What in it suggest spam?,I’m tired of this inconvenience by you.Thisemail is job-related only,I’m not advertising anything in it.Also regarding recipients/contacts,I have alot of job contacts.I removed 48 of them last time.Why should it matter that I have alot of contacts?.This is the last email,I’ll send to you before I start blogging about your method of blocking accounts without just cause.Start using actual people instead of computers to monitor accounts and there won’t be these problems.

How other countries haveHealthcare and the U.S.does’nt By Maurice D.Williams After watching “Sicko” by Michael Moore for the first time.Though I’m a fan,I came to grips with two truths,One shame of being an American cause before Michael at 13,14 I figured out the u.s.propaganda against other countries.But I understand now some of the disdain from some of those countries.It’s our blatant arrogance of being a rich super-powered country,yeah right!.

“Keeping it real”I’m not the fore-fathers built it…well that’s for another time.I’m just getting back on my feet after being laid-off my former job of 2 1/2 years.I’d only returned to work after missing near four months recovering from life threatening appendix surgery.The end result of two months back,”homelessness”.If I didn’t pick back up writing or art to supplement my income during the time,I’d still be.I count my blessings.Bare with me as I veer alittle off-subject at times.Two, like a million other americans I couldn’t afford healthcare.The out of pocket co-pay was no discount as it’s made to be.

It hurt me profoundly to see in Michaels dvd that other countries have it free!.No matter whether their able to pay or social status in Canada,London,Paris.Here in the states “it’s all about money”.We’re taxed for everything,we wonder where the money goes?.To wall st.or other large corporations for bail-outs or Madoff not to us that need it.You would think congress gets it…Not!.Sicko showed their in cohoots with the corporations/drug-companies being paid”lovely”and comfortabily at our uninsured-expense. This country of mine the only one in the free-world that doesn’t regulate it’s insurance and drug companies.I pray for our president Obama,how can he compete with free coverage not for the elite in other countries.

Well,my public do you see anything,remotely spam?.If you do send me comments.Their welcomed whether you agree with me or not.Yahoo’s practice is illegal,and it should’nt be allowed to continued.So,if you’re like me tired of it.Let’s petition strong,hard and long Show them up.Stopping the foolishness

The U.S.government’s not for its people

By Maurice D.Williams

It’s absolutely true,we the people my ass is the biggest lie.To some degree the founding fathers believed it: about as much as them saying men were created equal.That’s what god would want,but isn’t true.Our country is in a trillion dollars worth of debt.China’s profited from the partnership.But we’re the biggest losers.Because as our countrys forgotten that(the U.S.government) lost its minds to profit only from it’s people dismay.

That the government brought on by sending american jobs over seas to other asian and french counterparts.Bailing-out,A.I.G.,wall st., the automakers.Lets not forget,uncle sam(the IRS) for all the taxes they impose there’s no damn way a trillion dollar debt should exist.Hell,they’ve been around what 300 something years?.

The government move when it wants,they passed that$ 89 billion stimulus.Where are the jobs? it’s just big government like it’s always been.The wrong politicians are in charge.case in point last week here in Georgia the federal transportation office in D.C. is threatening to take $90 million back from the state.Because it had over ten years to use it building several transportation infrastructures plus transit rail systems from Macon to Atlanta even South Carolina.

You know the money could’ve be given to everyone struggling.This gesture could’ve jump start people spending and the economy going.Like I said before these politicians have only their interest and deep pockets in mind.Not the people who elected them to office.I can say i’m not included in believing them to be no more than legalized opportunist crooks.

If our government feared it’s people like France,where the people protest outside their offices causing damage.The big government spending would’nt happen as much.Because they’d be worried what some tired and unstabled people could do to them.For all this supposed homeland security,military prowess we have you can’t tell me,they don’t know where Ben laden is.They got hussein and his son in one fell swoop.Movies like From Paris with love,travolta from his wrist after a gun-fight.Sends coordinates to a satelite.Taken are the truth to an extent.They’re a combo of retired advisors who were on the inside of the C.I.A. and other agencies etcetera mixed in with some fiction.

Smoked in the Quarter mile / Entertainment

“Smoked in the Quarter mile” By Maurice D.Williams

Before the movie,The Fast & The Furious brought more exposure to the street racing culture.Tricked-out Nissan skylines,Integra’s and Impalas thrived underground through The Nopi competitions held late September every year.It’s where drivers would have competitions to see who had the“flyest flipped-out paint job”and Supreme hydraulics lift on their cars.This was influence by the Latino culture and accepted by other Blacks,Asian the majority in this generation of “Motorheads”.

The events are about major Swag.You have to bring it” or you’re outta here!.Your reputation’s paramount.In the early days it was mocked as having no“credibility”of legitimacy. It was 4-5 years ago when I became a fan.During those years participants “got out of dodge”when police were in route.It was illegal to drag-race quarter miles.But look at these sponsored events,it’s accepted today.I’m still fascinated with these competitions.It’s a“who’s who of swag”,that never gets old!.Oh,go check out,The new “ Fast & The Furious”movie.Mostly everyone’s back,Vin Diesel with Paul Walker.It’s by far the best of the movie franchise.

Jay-Z faces Copyright Infringement suit over R-logo Music/Entertainment

By Keepnstitches36(Guest-blogger)

“Exclusive” names have been changed to protect litigant. I have checked-out the accounts of the alledged copyright-infringement suit against rap-mogul,Jay-Z. This comes from a reliable-source a fellow freelancer-artist/writer;with whom I’m conducting this phone interview.(keepnstitches36) Why don’t you introduce yourself?,”I’m-sosik”(so-sick).

(keepnstitches36) Thank you for that and allowing this “Exclusive”(so-sik) No, thank you for granting me the opportunity to express myself on the issue!.(keepnstitches36) Please divulge,(so-sik) The extent of it is Intellectual-property” that Jay-Z excuse me,Mr.Shawn Carter may or may not been aware that another artist own- ed that cursive looping-”R”!.

(keepnstitches36)Let me interject;You believe Jay-Z has Blatantly used the logo to rub in your face because of his status!.(so-sik) Yes,this is to acknowledge me as the creator/ owner of the looping cursive-”R”! Not he and his company Roca-wear.They have the “RW” that is uni- que!.In regards of marketing,look the design”was for my line of tee’s,”Resik Inc”now “ResikArt- Inc”.That I came on the scene with in 1991.The shirt’s were “the follow-up”to my championship Bulls caricature ones with Jordan atop the world sipping a coke with the trophy to the side.I designed those shirts when I first moved to Atlanta.

(keepnstitches36)Well?,(so-sik) “Let me stop you”,please you were about to ask “Why now”?.It has not been for lack of not trying to pursue-compensation. When I became “painfully-aware” of my logo’s usage it was 2002!.I saw it on a “bootlegged-cap” Jay-Z had not released or conceived to this man had one on at ” H.E.Holmes train station” formerly “Hightower”.Then it was “the Domino-effect” it was every where I saw Chris Brown,Ciara wearing it in roca-wear ads!.However then ” I was struggling to make ends meet” and to en masse a counter-attack,I knew I needed money!.

(keepnstitches36)And now?(so-sik)I’ve obtained help that I weren’t-aware existed for graphic-artist!. Jay-Z’s marketing has major financial-backing,it is exact to mine the usage of the “R” and the colors of the caps as I drew them!.”The subtleties went out the window” of giving Jay-Z “the benefit of the fact was unbeknownst to him”.I feel he thinks he’s entitled”to take it”.Because I’m unknown I’ve thrived as a artist for 16-plus years!.”I’m not back-down”because he has money!.Jay and his people at Roca-wear “blew-off”the email I sent them in 2005 speaking of my intent.

They sent an auto-reply saying they would look into it!.Well,”they were forewarned”.The twist of fate came last-week ago saturday.Upon emailing my intent again along with a copy of “the original-design” to the offices of Volunteer lawyers for the arts in Atlanta and the headquarters in New York.I returned a call I got from their office in Atlanta by an intern para-legal.Do you know she tried discouraging-me? to pursue it after answering her question of the year I created it which I can’t-disclose legally.

She said it was due to the statues of limitation being expired”Let me be clear”,I will not give-up my fight for a “supposed-technicality”.(keepnstitches36)”So-sik”thank you for “the exclusive”.To all you established-artist you have the money to”thoroughly-check”if there is own er-ship of a logo,”signature-mark”,content that is similar or exact to yours!.”Take-time” to dot your “I’s”and cross your “t’s” literally or this will happen to you!.

2012 The Mayans did’nt know(c)’09 columbia pictures/sony Movie review

By Maurice D.Williams

2012 is The Disaster movie to end all others.Now with a pay-day for the ages,$65 million U.S.domestic and $225 million internationally.It’s the #1 movie in the world!.Already making back what it took to make $200 million for f/x.It will eclipse that easily becoming the best movie of all time.Up there with ID4 and Jurassic Park.The premise,the end of the world scenario.The Big-one cataclysm of doom and gloom,has been played up numerous times on the human-psychey.

Yes,people we’re in the last-days!.Look around Tsunamis,earthquakes and global-warming.We did’nt need this movie to tell us this.Also here’s a newsflash for you all,as for that forecast of 12-21-12?.I’m getting biblical on you,(Matthew)Jesus said of the end of days:no one knows the hour,not angels nor I.Only my father!.Though the two great civilizations in history,the Mayans and Egyptians with all their precise astrological forcast still did’nt know.That’s enough for me and when you think about it,why would you want to know?.

At least we know what to expect from,one of the great visionaries of our time Roland Emmerich ID4/The day after tomorrow.That visually the f/x will be top-notch and over the top with substance!.He’s delivered a 2hr 30 minutes edge of your seat,roller-coaster movie.Worthy of admission that’s been long overdue.

Why starting a Small business in this economy is a good idea /Business

By Maurice D.Williams

Starting a small business may sound,unrealistic because of this recession.However, it’s more attainable than you think.Think being the key-word.It’s all about what you perceive along with whether there are profitable opportunities.Which varies.If you have an idea and some money put to the side or invested.Then you can make it happen.

If you need more capital,there are short and long-term loans as well as grants.There are certain grants that you don’t have to pay back.Ones other than Pell-grants for vocational schools,college.In order for your plan to work,you have to committ and have the ambition that your small business will succeed.Regardless of naysayers,therefore the first phase in starting a small business,you need to hit the ground running.This means doing research on your niche.How it reflects or you will influence new standards of the chosen industry.What do you have to offer that’s different from industry-standard?.

Many entrepreneurs fail to use networking as the forecasting tool it is.You see from networking you gain invaluable information from your perspective clients.While keying in on their needs and asking them yourself, or through product-testing of your service what improvements they want.Indeed gives you a great advantage over the competition.Then Promoting your small business,is paramount.Print up business cards,flyers and hand them out to perspective clients.Wow them with a quality presentation.Next scout out locations for your business.We know that location is very important to a small business.preferably a high-end area of town.That is accessible to your particular clients and profitable to you.Because at the end of the day,you must make a profit to stay in business to continue providing quality service to your customers.As well as maintain overhead cost,employees,supplies.

As you can see,opportunities exist they come from seen and unforeseen obstacles.You can allow them to limit you or you can prevail against them.What you do,when you’re faced with them determines if starting a small business was the right thing for you to do.Ask yourself this:would it been better to not have tried pursuing your small business.Knowing in the balance,failure or success lied.

Hind sight is 20/20 on the outside.Where you have those regrets,of I should’ve or could’ve worked at making my dream happen.If only I believed and did’nt make excuses.Yes,starting a small business is plausible in this economy.There are many factors to consider.What it comes down to is,being proactive in realizing the implementation of your plan.That started with an idea whose incentive is to live,the American dream of success which reaps wealth.
