Though never major hitmakers, the Los Angeles-based Vibrations were consistent performers through the '60s. The lineup included James Johnson, Carl Fisher, Richard Owens, Dave Govan, and Don Bradley. They began recording as the Jayhawks, then scored a couple of novelty hits performing as the Marathons. Neither "The Watusi" nor "Peanut Butter" were particularly triumphant, but each managed to chart in both the R&B and pop markets. When they became the Vibrations in 1964, they gradually turned to more romantic material, although their first hit, "My Girl Sloopy," was closer to their previous cuts. They had their last brush with glory in 1968 with the Okeh song "Love in Them There Hills." Although Richard Owens was briefly in the Temptations in 1971, the Vibrations continued on until 1976, closing out their career as a nightclub act. ~ Ron Wynn

The less-frequented Rongai Route with the white beaches of Zanzibar
After the exhilaration of a Kilimanjaro Climb, there is no better way to come back down to earth (and sea level!) than to dip your toes in the azure blue Indian Ocean off Zanzibar. Famed for its historic role as a slave trading post and subsequent spice industry, Zanzibar is a perfect place to round off your African adventure with two nights spent on its white tropical beaches allowing time to snorkel, or simply lounge by the swimming pool or under the natural shade of the palm trees whilst watching fisherman pass by hard at work.
What makes this trip responsible?
Tanzania Porter Education Project
During the long rains (April-June), the non-trekking season, Exodus funds a project to teach English to its porters and other local staff; over 800 to date. Being able to converse with clients in English is an essential skill and this successful initiative has enabled porters to become cooks, assistant guides and even chief guides. With your support our aim is to develop this programme further in the future and provide continued education to our porters during times when work is limited. These skills can also help with employment opportunities for our guides, who can also work as teachers and/or classroom assistants.
We are also working with the Kilimanjaro Guide Scholarship Foundation (KGSF). By working with KGSF Exodus hope to enable many of our guides to further their education on a three month scholarship during the long rains. KSGF (in conjunction with Inter-Continental Training College in Arusha, Tanzania) have created a special course that can run through the rainy season. This course is applicable to guides and porters and will enable them to improve their future career prospects. See our responsible tourism page for more information or to make a tax free donation to the project/scholarship.

Tobacco's New Best Friend
Last week, after a Florida jury ordered the five leading tobacco companies to pay $145 billion in punitive damages, the industry's lawyers reacted calmly, saying the verdict would have "no practical impact." By contrast, Stanley Rosenblatt, who represents the plaintiffs in the case, a suit by Florida smokers, seemed disconcerted by the other side's confidence that it would prevail on appeal.
This spectacle of cocky losers and a rattled winner was not just a reversal of expected roles but a dramatic shift from a few months ago, when it was doubtful whether the tobacco companies would be able to appeal at all. Then, Florida law would have required them to post appeal bonds equal to the amount of the award plus 20 percent. With a $145 billion award, the total would have been twice the $80 billion stock value of the entire industry. Coming up with that would have been tough, to say the least.
But in May, the Florida legislature came to the industry's rescue by passing a law that limits appeal bonds to $100 million per defendant.
On the face of it, Florida's sudden concern for the tobacco industry's welfare is puzzling. After all, this is the same legislature that passed an earlier law authorizing the state to sue cigarette manufacturers for the cost of treating smoking-related illness under Medicaid.
Facing a rigged game, the tobacco companies agreed to pay the state $13 billion over 25 years.
Now Florida's legislators apparently are eager to protect that loot. Rather than applauding the class-action suit as another attempt to punish the tobacco companies, they have protected the industry's ability to appeal.
If allowed to stand, the $145 billion award would endanger the industry's ability to continue paying the state, providing money that helps subsidize legislators' favorite projects.
Politicians in the other states are in a similar position. Under settlements reached in 1997 and 1998, they are supposed to receive more than $200 billion in tobacco money during the next couple of decades. Smokers, the supposed victims of Big Tobacco, are picking up the tab through higher cigarette prices.
This arrangement magnifies the government's financial stake in the cigarette business, which was already bigger than that of the tobacco companies. As of December, according to a calculation by Philip Morris, the average state cigarette tax, weighted by sales, was 40 cents a pack, on top of a 34-cent federal tax (scheduled to hit 39 cents in 2002). By contrast, Philip Morris was making a profit of roughly 28 cents on each pack of Marlboros.
Some will protest that there is a moral distinction here. To be sure: While politicians and tobacco companies both take money from smokers, only the tobacco companies give them something in return.

The biggest cause of strife in your office might be masquerading under a cloak of confetti and cake.
Workplace celebrations – a colleague's baby shower, a retirement party, your boss's milestone birthday – can cause more stress than that big presentation or upcoming deadline. Should the event be marked with a gift or a card or a full-blown event? Who's going to plan it? And most importantly, who's going to pay for it?
Enter the office mooch, a fixture on the rotating cast of workplace personalities: the person who shows up to eat the cake or sip the Champagne but never helps out with planning or funding.
Peter Post, the director of the Emily Post Institute, is hesitant to label all those who don't contribute their share "mooch." After all, today's economic conditions make throwing in some cash for a joint gift a hardship for some. Still, the phenomenon has created awkward office situations through bull and bear markets alike, he says.
"We've seen it for years and years," says Peter Post, a great-grandson of etiquette guru Emily Post.
People who are really strapped for cash should be direct and polite when confronted with requests that would blow their budget."Simply say, 'No thank you, I can't contribute at this time,'" Post advises.
To the unfortunate few who are always getting roped into coordinating office celebrations, his message is simple: Adopting that role is a "big mistake."
Keep reading after the jump…
After several years in frugal exile, the office holiday party is coming back–but don't expect much.
Nine in 10 companies plan to throw a holiday fete this year, the highest percentage recorded since the Great Recession, reports the latest annual survey by global executive search firm Battalia Winston. Last year, 74% of firms said they planned to host a party.
Employee morale was the main reason companies cited for throwing a holiday party, followed by celebrating good business results. Ten percent said they'll do it mainly because of tradition. The survey, now in its 24th year, polled 105 companies of varying sizes, including a mix of public and private firms.
"You can't be Scrooge forever," says Dale Winston, CEO of the New York City-based search firm. "It's not that business is booming; it's just that [firms] don't want to keep skimming everything down."
Technical majors provide training that links directly to job skills but the benefits of majoring in humanities often aren't realized until later in life, says Anthony P. Carnevale.
Logitech CEO weighs in on the value of humanities majors.
What's a college student to study? Should they pursue a humanities major even if it might not guarantee returns in the job market?
If the boss looks at you longer than at your co-workers during conversations or meetings, it may be a sign your star is rising.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads
Tablet Plus
SIXTY SoHo (formerly 60 Thompson)
60 Thompson Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Soho
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
Time was, a hotel's life span was measured out in fractions of a century; now just staying around for the better part of a decade is a genuine achievement. Having opened towards the end of the early wave of downtown Manhattan boutique hotels, SIXTY SoHo, some years in, can now rightly be called an established classic.
The location doesn't hurt, down one of SoHo's swankier streets, and the carefully art-directed interiors have aged well (which is to say they haven't visibly aged at all, unlike some other high-design vaguely Eastern-influenced properties). The soaring loft-style guest rooms are as quintessentially downtown as they come, a little bit luxe and a little bit boutique, with high-end Italian linens, SIXTY SoHo's Dean & Deluca pantries (we used to call them minibars) and bathrooms manage to be decadent and heavily marbled and yet stylish at the same time.
Of course the rooms aren't the whole story. A place like this lives and dies by its public spaces, which, in this case, are impeccable, from the guests-and-VIPs-only rooftop lounge to the Kittichai restaurant, an upscale Thai kitchen overseen by a Spice Market alumnus. This is the luxury boutique as it ought to be — plush but not precious, hip but not off-putting, and an authentic fixture in the nightlife of lower Manhattan.

Neb. lawmakers to investigate Nikko Jenkins case
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska lawmakers have approved a committee to investigate the state's handling of Nikko Jenkins, who is accused of killing four people in the Omaha area after his release from prison.
Senators adopted a resolution Friday that would create a special committee to look at the circumstances of the case, and review the Department of Correctional Services' rehabilitative and mental health programs. Jenkins was allowed to leave without supervision, despite making threats of violence and begging officials to commit him to a mental health institution.
Lawmakers also adopted a resolution that would create a special committee to study ACCESSNebraska, the state's public benefits hotline. Supporters of the resolution say the system has had problems with long wait times and lost paperwork.
The resolutions are LR424 and LR400.
Omaha man found guilty in triple slaying case
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - An Omaha man has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the July 2012 shooting deaths of a man and his two teenage sons.
A jury reached the verdict Friday in the case of 35-year-old Anthony Davis after several hours of deliberations. Davis was convicted on three counts of first-degree murder and three counts of use of a weapon to commit a felony.
Davis was charged in connection to the deaths of 44-year-old Miguel Avalos, 18-year-old Miguel Avalos Junior and 16-year-old Jose Avalos. An alleged accomplice, Timothy Britt, faces similar charges in the case and is awaiting trial. Court records do not list an attorney for him.
Witnesses testified during a two-week trial that the men went to the Avalos home to steal drugs and money.
Man fatally wounded in northeast Omaha
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - A 21-year-old man has been fatally wounded at a home in northeast Omaha.
Police says officers were dispatched to the house around 2:50 a.m. Friday. The officers found a wounded man, who was taken to Creighton University Medical Center. Police say he died there.
The man has been identified as 21-year-old Brandon Samuels, of Omaha.
Police say several witnesses are being questioned. No arrests have been reported.
Neb. officials look into fire that killed 2 horses
BEATRICE, Neb. (AP) - Authorities are investigating a barn fire near Beatrice that killed two horses inside.
Beatrice Rural Fire Chief Jim Engel says firefighters were sent to the scene at about 3 p.m. Thursday. They left several hours later.
Beatrice radio station KWBE reports the large barn east of the Beatrice Country Club was a horse arena with stables and storage space. There is no estimate yet on the cost of damages.
A Nebraska Fire Marshal deputy is investigating the cause of the fire.
Nebraska patrol says pot found in 2 vehicles
ROSCOE, Neb. (AP) - The Nebraska State Patrol says troopers have seized more than 47 pounds of marijuana from two vehicles along Interstate 80 in western Nebraska.
The patrol said in a news release Friday that a trooper stopped an eastbound pickup near the Roscoe exit just before 10:30 a.m. Thursday. A drug dog taken to the scene alerted troopers to the smell of drugs. Troopers say more than 32 pounds of marijuana was found inside two duffel bags inside a tool box in the pickup bed.
The driver was arrested.
The second seizure occurred Thursday afternoon after a search of a car sitting at a rest area two miles west of the Roscoe exit. Troopers say nearly 15 pounds of pot was found inside the trunk.
A passenger in the car was arrested.
Nebraskan to serve 5 years for abusing Maine girl
BANGOR, Maine (AP) - A Nebraska man convicted of sexually abusing an 8-year-old relative in Maine nearly a quarter century ago has been ordered to serve five years in prison.
WZON-AM says a Maine superior court judge in Bangor on Friday imposed the sentence on Clarence Cote (KOH'-dee) of Nemaha. The 65-year-old man was convicted in January of abusing the girl.
Cote's attorney, who vowed to appeal, had questioned why the state took so long to prosecute when it knew of the allegations in 1994. He said the state had lost key evidence.
Prosecutors say they had trouble finding Cote after he moved to Nebraska.
Huskers' Pelini receives 1-year contract extension
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini has received a one-year contract extension through February 2019.
Athletic department spokeswoman Chris Anderson on Friday confirmed the extension, which was first reported by CBSSports.com. Anderson said terms were not immediately available for release.
Pelini is 57-24 in six seasons, but there was speculation about his job status at the end of last season as the Cornhuskers' streak of no conference championships stretched to 14 years.
Minutes after Nebraska lost its last regular-season game, to Iowa, Pelini defended his record and said, "If they want to fire me, go ahead." Athletic director Shawn Eichorst issued a statement of support for Pelini the next day, but as recently as Tuesday had refused to answer questions about a contract extension.
No. 16 Nebraska defeats Minnesota 80-67
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Jordan Hooper scored 33 points and grabbed 12 rebounds as No. 16 Nebraska beat Minnesota 80-67 in the Big Ten quarterfinals on Friday night.
The third-seeded Cornhuskers will play Number 19 and second-seeded Michigan State on Saturday for a spot in the championship game. During the regular season Nebraska and Michigan State split two contests.
Emily Cady scored 15 points and Rachel Theriot added 14 points and a career-high 18 assists for the Cornhuskers (23-6).
Minnesota (20-12) trailed by just five points after Mikayla Bailey hit a 3 with 6:54 left to play. Cady responded by opening up an 11-0 run - which saw five Cornhuskers score - to give Nebraska a decisive lead that carried through the rest of the game.

The Fed's Preference for Policy Rate Smoothing: Overestimation Due to Misspecification?
The federal funds rate is featured by frequent, small changes in the same direction and infrequent reversals. How to replicate the observed smooth behavior of the federal funds rate with a small scale macroeconomic model? This paper compares the descriptive performance of an empirical fully backward looking model with that of an empirical new-Keynesian hybrid framework. It turns out that the Feds monetary policy conduct can be very well described with a framework allowing for the presence of a small but positive fraction of forward looking agents in the IS curve. This element remarkably reduces the large interest rate smoothing weight otherwise needed to track the observed macroeconomic series.Download Info

Several years ago, Mergz, a Gator blogger for Saurian Sagacity, developed a power ranking formula to try to objectively analyze teams' relative strength. He made a few tweaks to the formula over the years, and maintained it after moving to the Boys of Old Florida blog.
How it works
The formula for the rankings is relatively simple, Scoring Offense (SO) plus Scoring Defense (SD) plus Win/Loss percentage (WL) times the team's Strength of Schedule (SoS).
SO is the ratio of a team's scoring offense to the best scoring offense. Right now Oklahoma State has the Nation's number one scoring offense at 55.8 points per game, and Florida is averaging 27.2 ppg. Oklahoma State's SO is 1 or 55.8/55.8, Florida's SO is 0.4874 or 27.2/55.8.
SD is the ratio of the best scoring defense to a team's scoring defense. Right now Alabama has the Nation's best scoring defense allowing 7 ppg, and Florida is allowing 11.4 ppg. Alabama's SD is 1 or 7/7, Florida's SD is 0.614 or 7/11.4.
WL is based on a team's record, but rather than a simple calculation of wins divided by games, this formula adds weight to losses by squaring them, so the formula is wins divided by wins plus losses squared or W/(W+(L*L)). Teams with no losses or one loss would have the same win percentage as with the traditional calculation, but a team with two or more losses would be more adversely affected with each loss. For example, Michigan State is the highest ranked multiple loss team at 4-2. The Spartans have a 0.6667 win percentage as traditionally calculated, but, for purposes of the power rankings, the two losses are counted as 4 (2*2), giving Michigan State a WL of .5.
SoS is the based on the win percentage of a team's past opponents (traditionally calculated), minus that team's record. For example, Florida's past opponents are a combined 16-12 (LSU 5-1, Texas A&M 4-1, Tennessee 3-2, Bowling Green 3-3, Kentucky 1-5), subtract the Gators 5 wins, and you get a record of 16-7 with a win percentage of 0.6957.
It's all simple, right? Maybe not, but the end result is a ranking score between 3 and 0, with 3 being the best (an undefeated team leading the nation in scoring offense and scoring defense, whose opponents have not lost to anyone else). Because all of the factors are very fluid, the rankings can and will fluctuate from week to week, and are more of a picture of where things stand right now, than a predictor of who would win if two teams played.
Updating those rankings is something I've been wanting to do for a while, but last year it just seemed too depressing to put forth the effort. I have been keeping track of this for a few weeks now, but the sample size was too small to be meaningful. Until now.
Without further ado, the rankings:
Rank | Team | Score |
1 | Notre Dame | 1.7553 |
2 | West Virginia | 1.7055 |
3 | Alabama | 1.6075 |
4 | Iowa State | 1.4648 |
5 | Florida | 1.4619 |
6 | Baylor | 1.3925 |
7 | Stanford | 1.3806 |
8 | Oregon | 1.3070 |
9 | Texas Tech | 1.2451 |
10 | South Carolina | 1.2514 |
11 | Ohio State | 1.2334 |
13 | Oregon State | 1.1914 |
14 | Texas | 1.1786 |
15 | Cincinnati | 1.1759 |
16 | Texas A&M | 1.1713 |
17 | Oklahoma | 1.1451 |
18 | Georgia | 1.0747 |
19 | Kansas State | 1.0137 |
20 | Arizona State | 1.0014 |
22 | Rutgers | 0.9561 |
23 | Boise State | 0.9307 |
24 | Michigan State | 0.9188 |
25 | Arizona State | 0.9017 |
Other teams on Florida's schedule:
- 45. Tennessee
- 51. Missouri
- 59. Vanderbilt
- 63. Kentucky
- 78. Louisiana-Lafayette
- 103. Bowling Green
Other Florida schools:
- 28. Miami
Auburn is last in the SEC with a score of 0.4392 (ranked 100), and Air Force is last overall with a score of 0.2000.
Honestly, Notre Dame's No. 1 ranking surprises me, but its SoS is slightly better than Florida's, and the Irish are solid on offense and defense. Games against Stanford (7), Oklahoma (17) and Southern Cal (32) are still on the horizon for the Fighting Irish, and will show whether they really are back.
Also of interest, Kansas State is a top-10 team according to the polls, but they're No. 19 here because their opponents are 10-12, while unranked Iowa State is No. 4, even with the loss to Texas Tech, largely on the strength of opponents who are 17-3. We will get to see this weekend how these teams stack up against each other.
A quick note on the Big 12: Seven of their 10 schools are in the top 20. Some of that may be due to front-loading non-conference games, but, even so, of those seven schools, only Kansas State's opponents have a losing record. Still, with losses being given added weight, as losses pile up through attrition, there will probably be fewer Big 12 teams in the rankings.
Well, what do you think? Does it pass the "eye test" for you?
Note: I have attempted to contact Mergz regarding the use of his formula, but have been unsuccessful. If you know how to reach him, please contact me.

Two of the nation's most accomplished academic physicians in the fields of diabetes and related metabolic disorders joined the Methodist Hospital Research Institute (TMHRI) in early 2008, vastly expanding the existing research efforts for this field of medicine at the Institute. Willa Hsueh, M.D. from the University of California at Los Angeles, and John D. Baxter, M.D., from the University of California at San Francisco, have relocated to Houston with their research teams to establish the new Diabetes Research Center (DRC). The DRC will have its main laboratory and investigator offices on Fondren 8, with outpatient clinical facilities in the Smith Tower.
"Both the hospital and the research institute are related that John, Willa, and their teams will join us," said TMHRI Director, Dr. Michael Lieberman. "An innovative and comprehensive research program in diabetes, endocrinology, and metabolism has always been part of the strategic plan for the institute, and the new Diabetes Research Center marks a major step forward in that effort."
Dr. Baxter's laboratory was the first to clone the growth hormone family of genes, including the first human gene. More recently, Dr. Baxter and his key collaborator Dr. Paul Webb have worked in the area of nuclear hormone receptor action with a particular focus on thyroid hormone.

Q. Can I achieve a better kick sound?
Published in SOS November 2009
Printer-friendly version
want to replace the kick drum on our drum kit with a MIDI kick pad, as our kick drum sounds rubbish, and were now using MIDI kick instead, which works much better. The trouble is that we want to be able to play (and record) the MIDI kick live rather than add it later. Ive seen kick pads for a kick pedal, which appear to be for triggering a module sound, but we want to actually record the live MIDI information, not the audio from a module, so we can straighten it later, change sounds, and so on. A trigger on the drum wont work either, because we dont want the kick bleed on the other drums.
Via SOS web site
SOS Reviews Editor Matt Houghton replies: If I understand correctly, you want to record an acoustic drum kit at the same time as recording a MIDI signal for the kick, but you dont want to play an acoustic kick drum because you dont want that sound to bleed onto the other kit mics. It sounds easy enough, doesnt it?
Personally, if Im mixing and matching MIDI-triggered samples and audio drums, I prefer to just record the full acoustic kit as normal, with a close mic on the kick. After recording, I feed the kick signal to Drumagog or KT Drum Trigger drum-replacer software (there are plenty of other options out there too), which, in turn, triggers drum-sound software (in my case, BFD). If you use Drumagog, its pretty easy to blend the sample with the natural sound to get something very usable — and if the spill in other close mics is bothering you, its usually easy enough to remove the offending kick with gating or a bit of high-pass filtering. The advantage of working in this way is that the drummer can hear the kick as part of the kit, which might make for a more natural recorded performance.
If you really dont want the acoustic kick present while recording, there are plenty of dedicated kick-drum pads that can be used in conjunction with a normal kick pedal. Theres one on my Roland TD6K V-Drums kit, for example, and there are plenty of similar models on the market from Yamaha, Clavia, Alesis and others. However, most of these require a drum brain to turn each pedal hit into a MIDI signal that can be sent into the computer — which begins to seem a bit expensive for your purposes.
Another, cheaper, option would be to create a similar pad yourself. It should be easy enough to use a contact mic, suitably protected by a bit of rubber. You can send the resulting audio signal through your drum triggering/replacement software but, importantly, it doesnt matter what sort of sound you get (even if it is horribly distorted), because youre not going to listen to it: youre just using it as a trigger. You can pick up a contact mic for under a pound, and the required software for a donation of your choice (KT Drum Trigger, from
). If you can give the drummer a suitable pad to stomp on, you might not even need a proper kick pedal for this. If this doesnt appeal, you could always try mapping any MIDI foot controllers switch to trigger a MIDI note and use that instead.
Finally, you say that your kick drum sounds "rubbish" and it seems that youre seeking not an electro or unusual kick sound, just a better one. In light of that, its probably worth having a good look at your kick drum itself, checking that its tuned as well as it possibly can be, and if not, tuning it. It might even be worth replacing it with a better-sounding kick drum, as an alternative to the more complicated MIDI route.

Found September 25, 2012 on
Larry Brown Sports:
As expected, the sports world has yet to stop buzzing about Hail Mary-gate. Social media sites and sports blogs have been overtaken by the call that will likely define the 2012 replacement officials. Amid a see of angry tweets from players and fans and cries for the NFL to end the madness, there have been a few comments that stand out above all the rest.
After flying back to Green Bay and sleeping on the heart-breaking loss, Packers tight end Tom Crabtree summed up the controversial evening the best way he could:
We've heard players say the officials are affecting the integrity of the game and others reportedly telling them to kill themselves, but no player, coach or fan has used a better metaphor to describe the situation than Crabtree. If someone crapped on your prized painting, you would not be pleased. The NFL and it's replacement officiating crew dropped a steaming pile right on Green Bay's canvas on Monday night.

Robert C. Garrett
I worked at Hackensack University Medical Center full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Competitive salary & benefits; most people are great to work with and vey helpful; physicians and nursing staff work very hard and do a great job.
Cons – NO job security; ridiculous "voluntary wellness" program; no more free meals for certain holidays; most employee "events" were eliminated; no recognition for a job well done.
Advice to Senior Management – Some people "in charge" (VPs, Directors,etc.) are prejudice; treat certain employees very unfairly; some employees work very hard with NO recognition for a job well-done, which results in very low employee morale. When John Ferguson was in charge, his main priority was happy employees; he wanted to see a smile on every employee's face when he passed them in the hallways. That ended when he left. HUMC WAS a great place to work....not any more!
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
I worked at Hackensack University Medical Center part-time for more than 5 years
Pros – One of the best hospitals around, terrific benefits, decent work life balance.
Cons – Not much room for advancement, personal patient care gets lost in the void of the big corporate atmosphere as with most bigger corporations but is a shame to see happen in healthcare
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
I have been working at Hackensack University Medical Center part-time for more than 5 years
Pros – excellent pay, nice staff, good educational programs
Cons – The staff ratio is bad, The staff communication with administration is poor
Advice to Senior Management – Stop the tough stances that make management secretly hated. People are scared about their jobs and afraid to speak up.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Hackensack University Medical Center full-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Health benefits and Beautiful new Cancer Center
Cons – The management team at the Clinical Cancer Research center is ridiculous. Very disorganized management team with no fear vision of a management plan. Always implement new ideas that never fall through.
Very biased management team that have favorites and provide little to no training to new research employees. You are basically set up for failure before you start. Training is so bad and they are quick to blame you for anything that goes wrong AND expect you to learn things on your own for the most part and give you things to do even when they know you have not been trained to do so.
The pay is very low for all the work and numerous studies they want you to work on and some of the PI's have empty ego's larger than than the Atlantic Ocean. Some of the Clinical research Nirses have favorite coordinators who are still there and haven't moved up the ladder. No growth for career advancement!
WARNING to future Research ApplicNts: if you want to SLAVE away as a Clinical Research DATA Coordinator with low pay, then go ahead and apply at this institution. You will work your life off! Don't say you have not been warned!!!
Advice to Senior Management – You should learn to train new employee's propeprly especially if they have potential as seen from their educational backgrounds or previous work history. If not the. They WILL leave for bigger And better jobs and it will be your loss.
Learn to pay your employees what they Are worth not based on the Job title Alone. It's ridiculous to see that Degree Nd non-Degree holders make the same amount of money.
Encourage your staff more and act like Managers by setting examples instead of stirring up problems!!
Respect yourselves and then maybe more people would respect you. You have to EAR! Respect and not demand it!

I worked at Hackensack University Medical Center
Pros – Excellent pay, great benefits, 12 hour shifts for nursing staff which allows for time off.
Some of the staff is amazing and very knowledgeable. Most of the staff will always go out of their way to help you if needed.
Cons – Work on top of work, always the mentality to do more than humanly possible. Over-time is strongly frowned about and one will hear about it for sure.
Parking for employees is mostly off site and you have to be bused in. One must allow extra time to get into work on time.
Advice to Senior Management – Remember your staff is only human. Not super-humans.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
I worked at Hackensack University Medical Center
Pros – work life balance is good

I have been working at Hackensack University Medical Center
Pros – very competitive compensation; strong focus on benefits; flexibility in schedule; vacation time; job security; innovation in technology and clinically; facility stability is strong
Cons – they work the over achievers to the grave and the under-achievers are left to do as they want; the pressures of the environement make others go at each other depending on who is leaning on whom;poor manangement behavior is less than optimal yet if you bring in the bucks that's OK and the poor behavior is swept under the rug; dispresect runs rampid when others have to cover their own buts; many depts have the 'I'm not doing that philosophy and pass the buck so the eyes are not on them
Advice to Senior Management – senior/upper management needs to back the standards they preach and hold those that dont meet them accountable; they tolerate poor behaviors from many which allow staff to be abused and they close thier eyes to that.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

This is a picture of me taken a few years ago from one of the rooftops of the Paramount Studios backlot. It's one of my favorite pictures because you can see so much. If you look closely in the background you can see the famous Hollywood sign. Where all those palm trees are standing that is the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, the resting place for many old Hollywood stars, including C.B. Demille, Rudolph Valentino, and Douglas Fairbanks. In the left corner you will see a tall building wrapped in what looks like a white trash bag. That building stands on the corner of Sunset & Vine and is one of the towers that is almost destroyed in the 1974 Universal film Earthquake. Just to the right of that you can vaguely see what is the iconic Capital records building. And of course immediately behind me are the fake buildings that have been the backdrop for so many films, TV shows, and commercials. But, you know what I like about this photo most of all? No smog! That is a rare thing in Los Angeles.
