Hi, I just recently graduated with my BSHA degree in Health Administration (with the concentration of healthcare management), and I am now a new member of ACHE. I live in the state of Florida, and I am desperately looking to gain experience in the healthcare field. I have no experience and more than willing to train. Furthermore, I just recently gotten laid off of my job as Auxiliary Agent at Pre-Flight Services because my position became obsolete. I have been trying to get in the field of healthcare from the time I was in school, and it has been very difficult. I am now looking for work with training, and I am trying to figure out where and how I can begin. I have done some reading and I am not sure if this is true (sometimes we cannot believe everything we read). They say that I must have a master's degree in order to get in or to get any training. So now I am stuck trying to figure out rather to find work in anything and anywhere (or be specific about where to apply), and go for my Master's now or go for my Master's after I get my foot in the door some how. What should I do, and how should I approach this?
Thank you!
I know you are looking for paid employment but have you considered voluteering a few hours a week. This will get you in the door and allow you to network with other health care professionals. I am finishing my Master in Health Care Administration. I am trying to do a total career switch ( from banking to healthcare). I am also a new member to ACHE. I am going to start volunteering this month at an area hospital.
The job market for Bachelor level jobs is tight. The graduate degree will likely be needed if you envision a career in healthcare management. Build your network as much as you can. Check the ACHE website and under Career Services, you will find the Career Management Network (Members Only area). You can access other ACHE members for networking. Be sure to connect with the local ACHE Chapter wherever you are located. Also, look at the Student and Early Careerist Network and related resources in the Career Services Section of the ACHE website.
As far as the entry position, check out the article on the ACHE website under Career Services titled "Your Career as a Healthcare Executive" for some additional ideas. If you don't have direct healthcare experience, look at opportunities for internships and possibly volunteering as another member suggested.

There are many different opinions about the certified public accountant's exam, but more would concur that it is one of the most difficult professional exams tested today. The BAR and the MCATS have better pass rates than the CPA exam and most candidates of these exams have shown in interviews to be less stressed and anxious about taking the tests. Why is this and what can be done about it?
Well, the AICPA is the group that creates and organizes the certified public accountant examination. It's the body that creates the questions, new materials, and general direction for future testing subjects. Traditionally, the AICPA has kept the pass rate at around 50 percent. Some of the sections, like BEC, have a stronger pass rate while other sections, like FAR, and have a much weaker pass rate. Regardless, the average rate tends to stay around the 50 percent level.
Why is this so low? It's low because the profession wants candidates to take their education seriously. The CPA designation is not something to take lightly. It's an honorable profession that people should have to work for in order to achieve. That being said, the only real way to pass the exam with flying colors is to study.
There are plenty of CPA exam review courses available to help you review the basics and prepare for the test. One of the most popular is CPAexcel. This course is produced by Wiley Efficient Learning Systems and has helped thousands of people achieve their dreams of becoming a CPA. Here is an article about how well CPAexcel ranks amongst the other review courses in the industry CPA Excel Review 2015 | My Accounting Course. Take a look at the review and see if it is right for your learning style. Many people have used this to pass and I'm sure you will be able to as well.

Kent State Theatre Alumni Give Students Advice
Kent State University theatre alumni came back to campus to give aspiring School of Theatre and Dance students advice about building a successful career and surviving life in New York City.
John Moauro, '07, who starred in Hair; Laura Beth Wells, '00, from Spiderman; and New York City Casting Director Michael Cassara were part of a special guest panelist event in the School of Theatre and Dance EZ Black Box Theatre. They provided advice to theatre and dance students about auditioning, dancing and singing.
Offering Insight to Students
The panelists gave tough criticism, but they encouraged students to never lose sight of who they are, while trying to be cast on Broadway. They also provided valuable résumé advice.
"It's about being honest with yourself," Moauro said. "Do your best, but you have to work hard. It takes dedication."
Moauro explained to students that it is necessary to be completely fluent in every skill they put on their résumé. If they haven't mastered a skill, he said, it is in their best interest to practice until they can perform it.
"In this business, it's all about pushing yourself to be the most diverse performer you can be," Moauro said.
In an industry where physical appearance is just as important as physical talent, tips for body image also were presented.
"It's a hard truth; you are judged at first glance in the audition room," Moauro said. "In this business, the way you look is important. Taking care of your body and staying fit is a necessity."
Cassara told the student audience that there is no "wasted audition." He said that when students go to New York there may be times when they don't get cast in shows, but as long as they go into an audition and present their talent, it is likely they will be remembered for another audition.
Receiving Expert Advice
After listening to the veteran advice, Shamara Costa, sophomore musical theatre student, said that she found the event "terrifying, yet extremely informational."
"It's great that the School of Theatre and Dance invites professionals back to talk to us," Costa said. "They have been out there and they know what it's like. I feel like this truly benefits my education. Every piece of advice is valuable."
Kaitlyn Sapp, sophomore musical theatre major, said that the panelist event was tremendous.
"It's always helpful to know how we should approach our careers," Sapp said.
Returning to Campus
Moauro said that he enjoys coming back to Kent State to give students advice because he remembers what it was like for him when he started out in show business.
"It's fun and flattering to come back to Kent State and see the talent here," Moauro said.
He went further to explain that he feels his education at Kent State has helped mold him into the successful performer he is today.
"The program at Kent State is small; therefore, professors focus on hands-on learning, as well as catering to the needs of the students," Moauro said.
Bringing Successful Alumni Back
Eric Van Baars, musical theatre professor, said that when students see professionals who graduated from Kent State, it gives them hope for their future careers.
"While in school, students want to know that what they are being taught and how they are being trained is of a professional standard and will serve as preparation for an industry," Van Baars said. "Hearing a working professional re-affirm what they are learning empowers the student to go further. Of course, knowledge is power, so advice from someone respected and knowledgeable will always be relevant."

Sad news to hear. But it will not stop me from buying AMD in the future. Intel is is evil, Nvidia hates Linux, so my only choice in buying CPU/GPU's is AMD.
Ah, this is a shit!
I knew Jörg from Linux Tag in Berlin. Gave him a beer.
Dahmit! Not another one.
It's really hard to see an "underdog" company which was very FOSS friendly always struggle so hard. I wonder how they want to do their new ARM-chips without proper support from the software side. The OSRC Dresden was a damn good thing to have even if you didn't hear so often about it like you did with the Radeon FOSS stack.
But this is after so many years of oppression by intel and ignorant customers (but this is not intel inside, it is probably not compatible) and vendors (selling "real MHz").
And I wish they'd fire management not engineers. You can't operate anything with managers alone.
I'm not sure where you think that there will not be proper software support for their ARM/x86 hybrids. While there maybe no "proper support" for linux, the chances are that AMD have been working with MS already (possibly even Apple) for that proper support like they did when AMD brought out AMD-64.
Erm... They relegated dx9-class hardware to legacy in Catalyst when win7 was released, and again with dx10-class GFX cards now that win8 is out, both for windows and Linux. The Linux driver shares the codebase with the windows one.
Yes it's unfortunate that those cards are still prefectly capable of running pretty much anything remotely taxing for us right now, though I see it merely as collateral damage. At least we still have their work on the FOSS side of things.
So please stop making it sound like AMD has a grudge against Linux users. It's called "resource management in a financially troubled business 101". If you want to help them, get a newer card or contribute to the FOSS drivers, that's the best you can do, and also much more constructive. You'll be happy you did soon enough.
As for the article at hand, well it's indeed troubling, though I still think it's a bit early to know what's going on exactly. I suppose AMD will at least relocate the affected depts.
As for the people in Dresden being let go (if it is the case), a big thanks for your work and I'm sure you guys will find new positions, with your knowledge and all!

Is this news sad? Yes and no. If the open source community has documentation for AMD graphics why are they sad that AMD is kicking out Linux developers. Linux is created based on developer's free time and most of all free will. I think former AMD Linux developers will try to support AMD products on their free time. It is not the end of the world.
AMD's proprietary graphics drivers are always pathetic. I prefer to use open source drivers or Xorg's drivers for ATI and AMD graphic cards although they have their limits in features. I always hesitate when using AMD graphics in Windows.
I disagree with your statement that nVidia hates Linux. This is wrong because nVidia supports Linux by providing driver support. They also support other operating systems besides Linux like BSD and Solaris. AMD does not support those other open source operating systems. nVidia makes their drivers closed source because they feel they can write them better which they are better then open source drivers like for AMD graphics and Intel graphics. Also nVidia makes their drivers closed source because all the tasks are handled by software instead of mostly hardware. AMD can provide documentation for their graphics because most of the tasks are handled mostly in hardware. It is easier to hide property in hardware than it is in software. I prefer to use nVidia graphic cards because they actually are better than open source drivers.
I do not work for nVidia. I have used AMD graphics and Intel graphics in Linux. nVidia still comes out being the best.
Intel dual cores costs around $70. There is competition. Actually the competition is not coming from AMD but from Intel. Intel's different microarchitectures are competing each other. One is Sandy Bridge and the other is Ivy Bridge. Haswell will be coming and it will break up the two microarchitectures. AMD is doing the exact same thing. AMD's Bulldozer and Piledriver are competing against each other.
At least 50% of the changeset done in the 3.6 kernel was written by developers working for an enterprise.
I have only partial stats, but I even think it's more than 80%.
This is not what Linux developpers think :
I laughed.Originally Posted by Greg Kroah-Hartman
I am wondering about the new AMD guy (replacement for bridgeman, forgot the name). There is never any info or whatever

Needs more windows(wine) games tests. Now that would be a surprise. Been hoping for it for quite some time now. Using Mesa 7.9 on x1300 mobility, WoW runs. Using mesa 8.0 on Evergreen hardware (Juniper), it doesn't.
Since wine is doing better with every release, and games start working more and more (Skyrim, Crysis 2, Dragonage 2, albeit using blobs), we should see how Mesa handles windows games.

And one on my MIL - when we come to visit, we repeatedly offer to help do various chores, and she regularly turns us down and tells us to relax and just enjoy ourselves. Then without fail, at some point during the visit she gets upset that no one is helping out. But she doesn't say anything, she just gets quiet and avoids everyone for a while. The thing is, we're not doing nothing, we do take turns cooking, cleaning up, and unloading the dishwasher. I have no idea what else she thinks we should be doing if she keeps telling us not to do any other stuff.
People who make a huge deal about how they don't care about X news event. I swear I have heard far more people complaining about how they don't care about the royal birth, than I have heard people talking about the actual birth! Stop telling me you don't care and just stop caring.
Why do people think it is appropriate to wear a gallon of our fume? It's awful pretty much any time, but 5:30 in the morning in the ore-op waiting room if an extremely busy, major hospital is downright inexcusable. I nearly became a patient myself from being assaulted bu the mixed scents of several if these people.
Oh, but half the staff at my office have been discussing it and it is on the television every time I walk by! All I wanted to know is that mom and baby were healthy. I don't understand why this story is top headlines on even my local news station. Another reason why I avoid television news.
MIL does all of these:Sucks her teethPops gumDrums fingers or feet on a surfaceClicks pensHumsShe wonders why we don't visit more.
When I'm working on someone's expense report and I find something unusual, I track down the person for clarification. I usually say something like, "Hey, I noticed on June 20th that you submitted a receipt for [unusual item.] What was that for?"Then they get all huffy and say "Well, I really needed that item for [specific business purpose]."That's FINE. I just wish people would note that on the receipt. They should know by now, I ask every single time there's an expense that isn't quite clear.

text: I just don't understand what the "theory of intelligent design" is and how is it superior to the theory of evolution? God just "poofed" us here? Aren't all things possible with God? Including an evolutionary timeline? I also hope that these intelligent design backers get what they want - to have biology teachers "back up" the theory of evolution with fact-based information. Um. Okay. That's exactly how the theory came to fruition in the first place. No skin off their back! Seriously. How long is creationism going to be around??? I really wish it would go the way of the 99% of species in the history of this planet - EXTINCT.

High Tech Fueling Oregon Economic Growth
An important measure of Oregon's economy showed robust growth in 2011, but economists say it was lopsided.The Oregonian reports the state's gross domestic product grew 4.7 percent in a year-over-year comparison, second among the 50 states.
The increase was fueled by large gains among manufacturers of durable goods.Economists say that's because of the strength of high-tech players such as Intel, the state's largest employer with 15,000 on the payroll. Without the manufacturing gains, the state's figure would have grown by less than a percentage point.
Real gross domestic product increased in 43 states in 2011. The fastest growing state was North Dakota, which is in a big oil boom. The measure, adjusted for inflation, reflects the value of goods and services produced in a state.

Very beautiful volume. However, as mentioned by other reviewers, it is not a leatherbound. Nowhere on the book, on its case or on the label attached to the shrink wrap by the publisher does it advertise itself to be leather. The label states the following: "50th Anniversary Edition / The Lord of the Rings / J.R.R. Tolkien / Finest edition ever offered, complete in one volume / Fully corrected, all new text setting / Color insert showing leaves from the Book of Mazarbul / Deluxe binding with two-color foil stamping / Gilded edges, ribbon bookmark / Two foldout two-color maps". If I had to choose, I would opt for the hardcover edition with full-color illustrations by Alan Lee: it is somewhat larger and more unwieldy, and it doesn't have gilded edges or a slip case, but the illustrations are beautiful. In any case, even without leather, this is a beautiful volume.
I bought this book so that I would have one copy of Lord of the Rings that I would charice and keep it up for display for the rest of my days. It really is a treasure. Excellent paper quality and firm beautiful covers. Only one little thing in my personal opinion could have been different; the maps. It's a nice idea that they attached the maps to both ends of the book (Shire map at the beginning and the whole Middle Earth map in the end), but personally, I would have liked to take the maps from some sorta paper slipcases and open them up where ever I can. Now, you have to open them next to your book everytime. Kinda sucks when you are sitting on your bed, back on the wall and you have the book against your knees and the map is just tangling in the air. That was just my personal opinion. All in all, magnificient version of the book!
I have read this wonderful book over a number of times. From The wonderfuly gifted mind of JRR Tolkien. This is the copy I have wanted to have for a long time. The story brings you into the lives and world of "Middle Earth". You know each one of them very well and share in the good and the evil of there encounters. This copy is a joy to read. From the leather bound cover to its fine paper of top quality. Your children and grandchildren will read it. A book to be handed from generation to generation.
Beautiful book in beautiful case at a very reasonable price. Was well packaged and arrived without any damage.
I've been wanting this edition for a long time. It is just as beautiful as it looked online. It's faux leather with thin parchment paper. A quality product and cheaper on overstock than anywhere else.
I just received this single volume of the Lord of the Rings today, and it is already my favorite version. It is definitely worth the money. My only gripe comes from the shipping. I ordered it on December 17, and it didn't arrive until January 18. It got lost in shipping and I had to wait until a certain date to make sure it didn't arrive. I most likely will NOT be ordering from overstock again.
There's not much else to say except this is a well-bound edition of a timeless classic.
My Husband LOVED it. It was a Christmas gift & he was very pleased. Thank You!

This guard platoon (護衛小隊, goei shōtai) is a group of Konohagakure shinobi dedicated towards the protection of the Hokage. The group's current complement, three in total, have all served as elite bodyguards to the Fourth Hokage and now serve in the same capacity to the Fifth.[1]
During their service under the Fourth's leadership, he taught them how to use his signature Flying Thunder God Technique and have since, marked Tsunade with the technique's seal, most likely so they are able to teleport to her aid at any given time. Unlike the Fourth, however, they are only able to perform this technique as a team.[2]

Top Definition
someone who has never served in the military, but who rah-rahs a war when it is broadcast on TV from his armchair while swilling beer. He thinks it is all a game to watch and he buys items (like T-shirts) that celebrate the war and are sold by oily corporate yuppies who want to make a few bucks off a national wave of "patriotism". Armchair warriors call that "supporting the troops" but do not think at all about the dangers inherant in war and do not want to lift a finger to help returning veterans get rehabilitation or treatment for their disabilities. They just want to see the modern day TV gladiators "kick some ass" for their amusement. They are SMFs.
Senator Bonehead voted for the war. He never served in the Armed Forces, he claimed that all the "minorities" and "little people" were doing the job for him. Every night he goes home and watches the news to see how many enmy combatants are killed. He cheers the U.S. forces on for "kicking ass" while chugging down his beer. He is a prime example of an armchair warrior.

Factitious hyperthyroidism is higher-than-normal thyroid hormone levels in the blood that occur from taking too much thyroid hormone medication.
Factitious thyrotoxicosis; thyrotoxicosis factitia; thyrotoxicosis medicamentosa
The thyroid gland produces the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). In most cases of hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland itself produces too much of these hormones.
Hyperthyroidism can also be caused by taking too much thyroid hormone medication for hypothyroidism. This is called factitious hyperthyroidism. When this occurs because the prescribed dosage of hormone medication is too high, it is called iatrogenic, or doctor-induced, hyperthyroidism.
Factitious hyperthyroidism can also occur when a patient intentionally takes too much thyroid hormone, such as in people:
Children may take thyroid hormone pills accidentally.
In rare cases, factitious hyperthyroidism is caused by eating meat contaminated with thyroid gland tissue.
The symptoms of factitious hyperthyroidism are the same as those of hyperthyroidism caused by the thyroid gland, except that:
Tests used to diagnose factitious hyperthyroidism include:
You must stop taking thyroid hormone. If you need to take this medicine, you will have to reduce the dosage.
You should be re-checked in 2 - 4 weeks to be sure that the signs and symptoms of hyperthyroidism are gone. This also helps to confirm the diagnosis.
People with Munchausen syndrome will need mental health treatment and follow-up.
Factitious hyperthyroidism will clear up on its own when you stop taking or lower the dosage of thyroid hormone.
When factitious hyperthyroidism lasts a long time, patients are at risk of having the same complications as untreated or improperly treated hyperthyroidism caused by the thyroid gland.
These complications include:
Contact your health care provider if you experience any of the symptoms of hyperthyroidism.
Thyroid hormone should be taken only by prescription and under the supervision of a doctor.

Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census
Summary Tape File 420 (STF 420) contains sample data weighted to represent the total population of workers 16 years old and over as well as 100-percent counts of all persons and housing units. Included are five population tables and one housing table for each state and its subareas in hierarchical sequences down to the census tract/block numbering area (BNA) level. For workers 16 years old and over, data for 20 places of work and for those working elsewhere are provided for five race groups: (1) White, (2) Black, (3) American Indian, Eskimo, or Aleut, (4) Asian or Pacific Islander, (5) other race and Hispanic origin by race. In addition, a supplemental file, Part 80, is provided that includes a machine-readable list of the total number of workers living in each county and, for that county, the number of persons working in the 20 destinations listed as well as a "worked elsewhere" category for the remainder of places worked. The list also applies to the sub-county geographic units (census tracts/BNAs) and contains a variety of geographic entities as destinations (the number of destinations may be less than 20).

"Based on bullshit" and "including a bullshit metaphor" are two entirely different things. Secondly, when this guy was growing up, traditional gender roles were, well, traditional. It's not as if he's some total dimwit, he just has in his head what he's been taught nearly all his life by society.

previous: Organon aphorisms § 53 - 56 next: Organon aphorisms § 63 - 71
--- 58 Organon aphorism ---
[64] Little as physicians have hitherto been in the habit of observing accurately, the aggravation that so certainly follows such palliative treatment could not altogether escape their notice. A striking example of this is to be found in J. H. Schulze's DISS, QUA CORPORIS HUMANI MOMENTANEARUM ALTERATIONUM SPECIMINA QUADAM EXPENDUNLV.R, Halae, 1741, §28. Willis bears testimony to something similar (PHARM. RAT., §7', cap. i, p. 298) : "Opiata dolores atrocissimos plerumque sedant atque indolentiam—procurant, eamque—aliquamdiu et pro stato quodam tempore continuant, quo spatio elapso dolores mox recrudescunt et brevi ad solitam fero-ciam augentur." And also at page 295: "Exactis opii viribus illico redeunt tormina, nee atrocitatem suam remittunt, nisi dum ab eodem pharmaco rursus incantuntur." In like manner J. Hunter {ON THE VENEREAL DISEASE, p. 13) says that wine and cordials given to the weak increase the action without giving real strength, and the powers of the body are afterwards sunk proportionally as they have been raised, by which nothing can be gained, but a great deal may be lost.
--- 59 Organon aphorism ---
[65] Vide Hufeland, in his pamphlet, DIE HOMBOPATIE, p. 20.
--- 60 Organon aphorism ---
[66] All usual palliatives given for the suffering of the sick have (as is seen here) as after effects an increase of the same suffer-ing and the older physicians had to repeat them in ever stronger doses in order to achieve a similar modification, which, however, was never permanent and never sufficient to prevent an increased recurrence of the ailment. But Broussau, who twenty-five years before contented against the senseless mixing of different drugs in prescriptions and thereby ended its reign in France, (for which mankind is grateful to him) introduced his so-called physiological system (without taking note of the homeopathic method then already established), a method of treatment, while effectively lessening and permanently preventing the return of all the sufferings, was applicable to all diseases of mankind; a thing that the palliatives then in use were not capable of affecting.
Being unable to heal disease with mild innocent remedies and thus establish health, Brousseau found THE EASIER WAY to quiet the sufferings of patients more and more at the cost of their life and at last to extinguish life wholly—a method of treatment that, alas, seemed sufficient to his contemporaries. In the degree that the patient retains his strength will his ailments be apparent and the more intensely will he feel his pains. He moans and groans and cries out and calls for help more and more vociferously so that the physician cannot come any too soon to give relief. Brousseau needed only to depress the vital force, to lessen it more and more and behold, the more frequently the patient was bled, the more leeches and cupping glasses sucked out the vital fluid (for the innocent irreplaceable blood was according to him responsible for almost all ailments). In the same proportion the patient lost strength to feel pain or to express his aggravated condition by violent complaint and gestures. The patient appears more quiet in proportion as he grows weaker, the bystanders rejoice in his apparent improvement, ready to return to the same measures on the renewal of his sufferings—be they spasms, suffocation, fears or pain, for they had so beautifully quieted him before and gave promise of further ease. In diseases of long duration and when the patient retained some strength, he was deprived of food, put on a "hunger diet," in order to depress life so much more successfully and inhibit the restless states. The debilitated patient feels unable to protest against further similar measures of blood-letting leeches, vesication, warm baths and so forth to refuse their employment. That death must follow such FREQUENTLY REPEATED reduction and exhaustion of the vital energy is not noticed by the patient, already robbed of all consciousness, and the relatives, blinded by the improvement even of the last sufferings of the patient by means of blood letting and warm baths, cannot understand and are surprised when the patient quietly slips away.
"But God knows the patient on his bed of sickness was not treated with violence, for the prick of a small lancet is not really painful and the gum Arabic solution (Eau de Gourme, almost the only medicine that Brousseau used) was mild in taste and without apparent action—the bite of the leeches insignificant and the blood letting by the physician done quietly while the lukewarm baths could only soothe, hence the disease from the very start must have been fatal, so that the patient, notwithstanding all efforts of the physician, had to leave the earth." In this way the relatives, and especially the heirs of the dear departed, consoled themselves.
The physicians in Europe and elsewhere accepted THIS CONVENIENT TREATMENT OF ALL DISEASES according to a single rule, since it saved them from all further thinking (the most laborious of all work under the sun). They only had to take care "to assuage the pangs of conscience and console themselves that they were not the originators of this system and this method of treatment, that all the other thousands of Brousseauists did the same and that possibly everything would cease with death anyway as was taught by their master." In this way many thousand physicians were miserably misled to shed (with cold heart) the warm blood of their patients that were capable of cure and thereby rob millions of men gradually of their life according to Brousseau's method, more than fell on Napoleon's battlefields. Was it perhaps necessary by the disposition of God for that system of Brousseau which destroyed medically the life of curable patients to precede homeopathy in order to open the eyes of the world to the only true science and art of medicine, homeopathy, in which all curable patients find health and new life when this most difficult of all arts is practised by an indefatigable discriminating physician in a pure and conscientious manner?
