A colleague recently pointed me to the grading policy for Notre Dame Law School. Now I am not so deluded that I think everyone would enjoy reading grading policies, but it is that time of year when grading hangs over professors like a Sword of Damacles Damocles, and reading Notre Dame's website got me wondering what grading policies reveal about us.
While I was at Wisconsin, we changed the grading system, and one aspect of the debate was about whether grades were designed to compare the students enrolled in the class or measure their achievement against an objective standard of performance. These two views of grading often divide law faculties, with doctrinal faculty typically using grades as a sorting device while clinical faculty often use grades to measure development of specified skills. You can see this distinction in Wisconsin's grading system, which requires a curve using letter grades (A+ to F) for most classes, while clinical courses are graded on a four-cell grading system of S+, S, S-, and U. Similarly, at BYU most classes are graded on a 4.0 system and are subject to mandatory median, while certain "skills" classes use pass-fail grades.
What I find fascinating about the Notre Dame grading policy is that it embraces objective standards while using a traditional letter scale. Consider the following:
- "Notre Dame Law School's system judges Notre Dame students against a high Notre Dame standard rather than against student performance at other institutions." Obviously, they want to show their adherence to rigorous standards -- standards so rigorous that they are unique and bear the school's name. Moreover, these standards seem to exist independent of the students. (Of course, the "high Notre Dame standard" also serves a very useful function: it signals to employers that they shouldn't compare Notre Dame GPAs with GPAs from other schools. But if that were the only goal, they could just use a crazy grading system like Chicago's that is indecipherable to the outside world.)
- "No mandated grading
curve." A mandatory curve is inconsistent with objective standards, for
at least two reasons: (1) the standards of performance would vary from subject
to subject, with some subjects lending themselves to wider variation in
performance than others; and (2) even if you could normalize the
standards of performance around a mandatory grade distribution, the
sample of students taking a particular class is not random, so you may
have a class of students that is more or less capable than a random
sample, thus necessitating adjustments to the curve.
- "Faculty regard 'C' as indicating satisfactory work. Therefore, a 'C' at Notre Dame is considered a respectable grade." Notice that a "C" does not indicate average work. The phrasing suggests that all of the students in a class could reach the "A" level of performance, or that a professor could give a "C" to every student because no student's performance was more than satisfactory. What I can't understand is why "satisfactory" work would be viewed as "respectable" at a place that strives for excellence.
- "Notre Dame Law School has been relatively immune to 'grade
inflation.'" This would make sense in a world with objective standards,
but in a world of comparisons, grade inflation is the way that you tell
your students that they are better than students at other schools. If you were truly elite, you would dispense with grading altogether.
- "Notre Dame Law School does not rank students." What they
mean, of course, is that they don't calculate the rankings. This makes
a lot more sense if you were just trying to get all of your students to
meet objective standards than if you were engaged in a sorting exercise.
The implication of viewing the world in the Notre Dame way is that each class has measurable standards. My sense is that law schools do a very poor job of defining such standards. Does Notre Dame do this better than other law schools? Or is talk about the "high Notre Dame standard" just marketing?

Students are really too similar to be meaningfully sorted by a 4 hour final. Thus, continuing to sort them as such is unfair to just about everyone involved. While your post is about grading in general, I suspect that the 4 hour final is the prevailing norm—given the choice between that and pass/fail, I don't see what merit could be found in the former. If the norm becomes something more appropriate, say grades factoring in attendance and participation, collaboration and at least a couple of assignments and a couple of tests, then grades might make sense. Who the hell came up with the 4 hour final anyway? And who benefits from grades based on them (as opposed to who merely believes they're benefitting)?
If a school is ranked around the top 15%, and students admitted and attending typically have LSATs around the top 15%, do we really believe that a 4 hour final will further refine those indicators (that is, if we give any weight to those rankings in the first place)? Quite a bit more work would certainly be required to make the sorting meaningful. What sort of qualities does the 4 hour final showcase? I'd think personality would be important to employers, but especially with blind grading, that factor is out the window. Elements of it like tenacity, cooperation, aggressiveness, etc. all presumably have a much greater bearing on job performance and are thus what employers would like the grades to be based on, too.
Until we can meaningfully communicate to students how they're doing and to employers what they're getting, we probably shouldn't try. Students in law school are the sort who take themselves rather seriously. With "the instances of students suffering from one or more of clinical levels of depression, alcohol abuse, or cocaine abuse rising from 8-9% prior to matriculation to 27% after one semester, 34% after two semesters, and 40% after three years, and persisting after students pass the bar and begin practicing law" it would make sense that if we're going to say anything at all, we should wait until what we have to say is meaningful. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to really think through how we go about the rest of the experience, too.
The quote above is from Robert P. Schuwerk, The Law Professor as Fiduciary: What Duties Do We Owe Our Students. 45 S. Tex. L. Rev. 753, 764-765 (2004). I'd recommend it as interesting and on the right track.

Agree (mostly) with Gordon's post and the comment above.
Let me suggest there is one objective criterion for grading/sorting/ranking law students -- concise, well reasoned, and persuasive writing -- the skill most highly prized by legal employers, and the one that newly minted lawyers by and large do so poorly. I review plenty of briefs and legal memoranda written by younger colleagues with far better academic credentials than mine, and in most cases come away disappointed.
Good legal writing is an effective yardstick of legal acumen (setting aside the incoherent views on "language as politics" given by the postmodernists in academe). It either grabs you and persuades you that the author has mastered the subject of which he/she writes, or it does not. Whether the author's conclusion is legally "correct" is beside the point, mind you. And 4 hour law school final exams are an inadequate measure of legal writing skills. One hopes that clever lawprofs will devise superior measures that will ameliorate the remedial writing instruction we in practice must give the fledgling lawyers turned out by law schools these days.
Just idle thoughts while idling away these holidays...

Most will agree William Shakespeare is the undisputed heavyweight champ when it came to playwriting, but even the champ takes it on the chin every now and then.
Take "Troilus and Cressida," the Bard's take on the Trojan War, then in its seventh year -- a drawn out affair, sort of like our current war in Afghanistan. And, just like many Americans, the Greeks and Trojans were darned tired of the war.
Shakespeare seized on the theme of war-weariness with this work, but just to be on the safe side, he crammed everything including the kitchen sink into the script, turning it into what many experts consider one of the Bard's "problem plays." It's a show that veers wildly between comedy and tragedy and still barks like the dog it is after several centuries.
So why am I writing about the show, now playing at La Val's Subterranean Pizza in Berkeley? Well, I only got to watch baseball legend Ted Williams play in person once, and he never reached first base, but I don't regret a moment of that game. And for many Shakespeare fans, the fact that the Bard wrote it is enough to see it. Besides, hit or miss, Impact Theatre's adaptations of Shakespeare's works are always interesting in the way they bring the Bard to a primarily under-30 audience. The company's style seems to imply its viewers have trouble sitting still for a soliloquy unless six guys get gunned down or there's a "Bullitt"-style car chase.
In "Troilus," there is just way too much in the script to make a nice, tight and rewarding evening of theater. That said, though, there is plenty of good stuff here; so much, in fact, that never once do you find yourself looking at your watch or wondering what Tom Greene is up to these days.
That's because right in the theater, we have members of the Greek government, led by King Agamemnon (Jonathon Brooks), trying get their top military man, Achilles (Nick Trengove), to start fighting the Trojans again. But in Troy, the royals are debating whether they should give Helen (Julie Kuwabara) back to Greece and end the whole war.
Meanwhile, Trojan Prince Troilus (Eric Kerr) is still in love with Cressida (Sarah Coykendall), who is playing hard-to-get until she realizes she's crazy about the boy. But then, as the road to happily ever after begins to smooth out, politics rears its ugly head, and the privileged few decide it would be politically wise to deal Cressida to the Greeks in a hostage exchange.
Director Melissa Hillman, as she is so often able to do in her adaptations of Shakespeare's work, finds a contemporary spin for the story. In this case, there's an Occupy element, as we are reminded of how easily the lives of ordinary people can be upended by the whims of the ruling class.
As the tale rolls on, it also offers some fine performances from a number of actors, including Coykendall and Kerr, who quickly create engaging characters that make the audience care deeply about them. Then there are some of the comic performances, particularly that of Miyaka Cochrane, as Thersites, who commands the stage in a skillful and hilarious turn as a military man who is not particularly thrilled with his lot in life.
The show unfolds engagingly on the hopelessly tiny stage in the basement of the Berkeley pizza restaurant, taking full advantage of Anne Kendall's set and Dave Maier's fight direction.

A simple WP Function that password protects the wp-login.php file on Wordpress setups.
The Function below adds a simple layer of security to your WordPress Websites. When anyone visits the wp-login.php page an authentication window will pop prompting the visitor to enter a Username and Password before they can access the wp-login.php file.
This is a simple protection solution for any WordPress site with Registrations turned off and for sites with very few or only one person that manages them.
Place the function below into your functions.php file for each WordPress Theme/site that you want to protect. Swap out the YOUR-USERNAME and YOUR-PASSWORD with your user/pass info, and it's ready to go!
if ( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == "/wp-login.php" ) { add_action( 'init', 'login_init' ); /* Do Action */ } function login_init() { $user = "YOUR-USERNAME"; $pass = "YOUR-PASSWORD"; get_option('get_header'); if( $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != $user && $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $pass ) { header("WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="""); header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); exit; } }
Version 2
If the above example works, but a correct username & password doesn't seem to be accepted, the issue might be that PHP can not access the PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW functions.
To correct this you'll need use a RewriteRule.
The RewriteRule
Use ONE of the following RewriteRules in your Websites root .htaccess file. I do not fully understand this rule, but it appears that:
The PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW functions and values of them, when entered into the auth box, is loaded into a variable called HTTP_AUTHORIZATION. The PHP afterward then gets the PHP_AUTH_USER and PHP_AUTH_PW values by accessing the HTTP_AUTHORIZATION variable.
** Test your Website after adding the rewrite rule. Posts, Pages and Images will 404 if you have the incorrect one.
Worked On WordPress Multisite – Put the Rule directly below RewriteEngine On line, within the .htaccess file of your Website.
RewriteRule .? - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
Other Possible RewriteRules: The first RewriteRule below is the most common use rule.
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},last]
RewriteEngine On RewriteRule .* - [env=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
The Code
Place the function below into your functions.php file for each WordPress Theme/site that you want to protect. Swap out the YOUR-USERNAME and YOUR-PASSWORD with your user/pass info.
if ( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == "/wp-login.php" ) { add_action( 'init', 'login_init' ); } function login_init() { $user = "YOUR-USERNAME"; $pass = "YOUR-PASSWORD"; get_option('get_header'); list( $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'], $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] ) = explode( ':', base64_decode( substr( $_SERVER['HTTP_AUTHORIZATION'], 6 ) ) ); if ( $user == $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] && $pass == $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] ) { header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm=""'); header("HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized"); echo ''; exit; } }
- You can use the same username and password for each site, however I recommend each site has at least a unique password.
- Do Not use the same username and password that you use to access the WordPress Admin.
- Don't forget to sometimes change your username and passwords up.
- Use Password Management Software like KeePass to manage your passwords.
- Remember, this is simply an extra layer of security, it for sure is NOT a solid solution for protection – you should still select a very complex master username and password to access the Admin along with other WordPress Security Plugins.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out this astrology website from your online astrologer.
My specialty is in in depth chart analysis of what your higher self, soul, true you, (however you want to call that part of you that is beyond the day to day person) has in mind for your life purpose and direction. I also specialize in astrology to understand relationships, whether romantic love partners, marriage, friendships, or family. Having astrology as a guide to help know your relationship better, and even in dating, whether or not that person is a keeper, or a relationship that has come into your life briefly, or whether or not the rough times a relationship experiences is a passing phase or is happening for another reason. Astrology at its best is used as a tool for personal growth and self realization. I help you see how you can use the information from your chart as a visionary tool to manifest what is important to you.
For relocation astrology, not only do I look at what is referred to as astrocartography, the personal timing in your chart (transits) are important to look at. You may have found the perfect place to move, but it may not be the right timing. This happens also in relationships, you can find the right partner, but it may not be at the right time. Having this information will save you a lot of heart ache, and in moving, it saves you time and the expense of moving. Also for locational astrology it is important not only to find the right planetary lines for you, but the connection with the place. This is done with chart comparison with where you want to move to.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama football team held its first scrimmage of the spring on Saturday afternoon inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.
The scrimmage lasted roughly 120 plays and was just over two hours under sunny skies and temperatures in the low 80s.
"I thought this first scrimmage was better, maybe, than I anticipated in some ways," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said Saturday. "I thought the overall intensity and tempo of the offense is something we need to pick up a bit past the first team. The rest was a little sloppy at times in terms of communication, but as I said before, a lot of guys have a lot of opportunities."
Junior quarterback AJ McCarron commanded the offense and completed 25-of-43 passes for 290 yards, three touchdowns and one interceptions. He found Christion Jones twice on scoring strikes of eight and 22 yards while connecting with Kenny Bell on a scrimmage-long 44-yard scoring play.
Jones led the way among receivers with 83 yards on seven receptions while Bell added 68 yards on three catches. Kevin Norwood had five receptions for 50 yards with Marvin Shinn catching a touchdown and finishing with 40 yards on five catches. Freshman Amari Cooper added two grabs for 40 yards and Michael Williams grabbed three for 37 yards.
Dee Hart led the rushing attack with 32 yards on 13 carries and a four-yard touchdown while Ben Howell added 31 yards on eight carries. Jalston Fowler had 27 yards rushing and one score while freshman T.J. Yeldon added another 27 yards on the ground.
"The whole goal of spring practice is to get the right guys on the bus, get them in the right seats and get the wrong guys off the bus," Saban said. "I am talking about character, attitude and competitive spirit, guys that can be responsible and accountable to do their jobs. We have a lot of guys working hard, and we've made a lot of progress as a team."
On the defensive side of the ball sophomore safety Vinnie Sunseri led the way with five tackles, one tackle for loss and a pass breakup to go along with his 38-yard interception return for a touchdown. Adrian Hubbard and Dee Milliner both made four tackles with Hubbard recording a sack and two pass breakups while Milliner added an interception. C.J. Mosley and Nico Johnson both recorded three stops.
"I was pleased with the defense," Saban said. "They made some interceptions and big plays. We made some big plays on offense as well.
"We have two weeks left. We will obviously evaluate this film and see where we want to go. Hopefully, making the kind of progress we need to make, we will be able to work on some of our new opponents for next year and give our players a little knowledge and experience of something a little different than what we've been practicing."
The Crimson Tide returns to the practice field on Monday for the first of three workouts that concludes with the spring's second scrimmage on Friday.

Flu reports spur influx at emergency rooms
January 10, 2013
PARKERSBURG— With an outbreak of the flu being reported throughout the area, the emergency departments at Camden Clark Medical Center have seen an influx of people over the past few days....
The emergency services in this area fail to meet the needs of the public. They knew this situation was coming and once again they failed to prepare for it. At no time should the ER services be backed up eight hours or more to treat any person that comes to them for help. What would happen if a chemical accident happened in this area and suddenly one hundred or more persons required medical treatment and showed up at the ER door? They can do a lot better with planned response to "crisis level needs".

For 99% of folks the flu does not deserve a trip to the emergency room. Too many people forget that they should have a relationship with a regular doctor and they can call that doctor and be advised as to what needs to be done. Even in the evenings and weekends all doctors have a call center that will take your message and either the doctor or a collegue or a PA or a nurse will call you back.
But instead folks will run to the emergency room and clog it up so true emergencies like heart attacks, car accidents, and broken bones have to wait.
I was recently told by someone who follows this practice of running someone in his family at least once of week for things like constipation....."but it didn't cost me anything"
My response was .....but it cost me !!!! I am the hardworking middle class citizen and my taxes pay for you to run to the emergency room for stupid stuff.

I absolutely agree with you, 4H4life. Too many people congest the emergency room with non-emergency complaints. It is common knowledge that the flu is a virus, and therefore the only thing that can be done is to treat the symptoms and let it run its course. The ER should be used in cases of actual emergency: car accidents, heart attacks, ailments that are life-threatening, etc. We have plenty of urgent care facilities in the area to cope with non-emergency ailments, and yes, people have a responsibility to have an ongoing relationship with a primary physician. Going to the ER for something like constipation is RIDICULOUS. Drink some prune juice, take an enema...for God's sake, don't take an emergency physician's attention away from someone who ACTUALLY needs it, simply because you're "full of it".

'Reality' is correct, people don't have a 'regular' doctor, or insurance, or money to pay a Quick Care...the ER is their doctors office. CCMH KNOWS this, yet they still decided to close the St. Joe's facility, further clogging an already slow service ER unit. There will always be those people, as well, that go to the ER with the sniffles...you can't fix stupid. But CCMH is NOT equipped to handle the vigorous Flu season...AT ALL...and they should know the poverty in this area is going to flood the system anyway, on a GOOD day! I would go to Marietta too, except my doctor is HERE!

I agree with the other two posters below me, but if you don't have insurance and are self pay, no family doctor will accept you into their practice. It was George W. that told everyone to go to their ER and they will treat everyone if you don't have insurance. Many can't afford OTC medicine and the system tells them to go to the ER for everything. It's not their fault. It's time for the hospitals and doctors to step up to the plate or turn those people from their doors and ignore their problems. No, there is too much federal money being given to hospitals and doctors to let that happen. It's all about the money, peroid.

The local Family Dollar sells OTC medications that will treat flu symptoms for anywhere between $2-$5. I'm a broke, single working mother of three children, and even I can afford that. The only time someone should be heading to the ER for flu is if they have another condition that the flu could make worse (i.e. diabetes or heart disease) or if they're experiencing complications, like shortness of breath. Otherwise, there is nothing that the ER can do for you that you can't do for yourself at home...rest, drink fluids, treat symptoms. I went without health insurance for 10 years, and only went to the ER on three occasions: my appendix burst, I needed stitches in my finger, and I had a 9-foot fall flat on my back. THOSE are things for which one seeks emergency assistance--not things like constipation and flu. I know what it's like to be uninsured, and it stinks. Doesn't mean that you get to congest the ER with frivolous ailments, and divert attention from people with ACTUAL emergencies.

For example... two of my sons have congenital heart issues, one of whom has only one kidney that has been compromised. If they get the flu (neither can get the flu shot due to their conditions, it's contraindicated) and become short of breath, they can die of congestive heart failure. THAT'S an emergency. If I take my ill child who has a pressing need due to his heart condition for emergency care, and he has to wait because you've taken up a bed with your constipation, I'm liable to flip you out of that bed and shove my foot in your rear, thereby solving the problem for both of us.

JBennett... how the heck did they hosptial "fail to meet the needs"? until a few weeks ago the nation was told that the vaccination was a good match for this years strain. You have a axe to grind, don't grind it on the ED, grind it on the people that come in to get a script for Ibuprofen insted of paying $5.00 at the store. Or better yet, these white trash teenagers and young adults that come in for a pregnancy test instead of buying a $2.00 test kit at dollar general. No, instead they run up a $500 bill that the tax payer has to pay up and keeps really ill folks from being seen by the doctors. You need to direct your anger where it needs to go... at the people that abuse the system. I work there, I know, almost all of these people are welfare and would rather have the taxpayer pay a bill then spend 5 dollars out of pocket. I say make EVERYONE including ME pay $50.00 when you walk in the door (non-life threatening), then lets see how many white trash abuse the place.

Hippie, you're right on there. My health insurance already charges me a $50 emergency room co-pay if there is no admission as a result of the ER visit. I used to know a family that was on every government assistance program available that would visit the ER weekly for one petty reason or another. It was like a field trip to them! Highly frustrating to the other patients who REALLY needed to care, and even moreso for the staff that would have preferred to give their attentions to the ones who were ACTUALLY in need. Not to mention, yes, what it costs those of us who get to foot the bill for their visits. It's infuriating.

It's a known fact that CCMH has eliminated positions and cut pay for LPN's, it's become ALL ABOUT PROFITS, period. Their service is awful, not due to the great folks that work there, but because of the staff cuts and constant drive to 'lower costs' for the corporation. Wonderful nurses from St. Joe's were put out of work or offered substantially lower pay to keep a crappy job. What do you expect when that happens? That facility is NOT going to get any better with the closing of St. Joe's, it will only get worse. There will ALWAYS be idiots that go to the ER with a hang nail....like I said, you can't fix stupid. But the level of service at that ER has been crappy for years and years.

Here is one for you Mack76. One night in the ED about five years ago, a "mother" (and I use that term lightly) brought her whole set of kids, four I believe into the ED. Said one was sick but since she was here, can you just look at all of them... WOW! That is just the tip of the iceberg. "my tooth hurts", "I may be pregnant", "I don't have any pills", "I have a fever of 99.2", or my two all time favorites, both welfare. One, lady had a pimple on her arm (not kidding), she came to the ED for a pimple. Second, the "boyfriend" had a drip from his lower parts so he wanted to be checked for STD, then his girlfriend decided to be checked too. Again, not kidding, tie up two ED beds for STD??? Our lawmakers allowed this to happen when they decided that these people don't have to pay any co-pay like working people do. I would guess, and this is a guess but I am sure I am fairly close, 80% of the visits in the ED could be seen in ur

Mack. LPN positions were not useful in many respects (not all) because the federal government have forced made so many assessment, charting, and medication responsibilities at the RN level. MANY hospital in the nation are going to all RN. It isn't a CCMH or SJH thing, it is the changes in the system. Do I agree, well I don't write policies at the federal level. I don't have a clue about any cut in pay for SJ staff, none that I know of (and I know many) ever said that to me. I think (and you know what they say about opinions), if the ED was not overrun by "stupid", it would work fine. You can't afford to staff for "stupid", you have to staff for needs (again, my opinion). I think in five or six years, when there are modern expanded services in the valley, everyone will say "why couldn't it have happened sooner". But for a third time, just my opinion. I gotta get to Charleston... Have a good day!

Brooks, I understand where you're coming from, and I agree that the area definitely needs more than just CCMC to fulfill its hospital and emergency care needs. I was also sickened by the closing of St. Joe's. As for LPNs, it is now a nationwide trend that this position be phased out because all hospitals want to do more with less. This means more demands being placed on CNAs and RNs, with no need for LPNs. The patient is ultimately the one who suffers, and that is truly shameful. I work in social services for an agency that subsidizes childcare services and have several clients that have already finished or are finishing LPN school just to find that they can't even find a job as one. The best position they can hope for is CNA or a Patient Care Tech, which is NOT what they busted their rears going to school for. Hippie is right in that a facility can't staff for stupid people with petty issues going to the ER for things they darn sure know they shouldn't be.

Hippie, I wasn't aware that the LPN change was due to policy revisions at the federal level, but I do know that there were changes already being implemented because of the "do more with less" trend that has been seen overwhelmingly across the healthcare board.
5 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
The whole 'do more with less' metality is thanks to the recession and greedy Corporations working people to the max to make up for the positions they chose to 'do away with' to cut costs. The increase in 'right to work' states will only see this trend expand. The fact that Hospitals have been doing it for years is a sin. My fiance spent 47 days in CCMH a decade or more ago...they almost killed him twice..the level of incompetance (hiring young dumb aides) was unreal, and the overwork of the competant and compassionate staff was evident then. I don't expect it has gotten any better. I learned a valuable lesson during that time. If you are extremely ill and need hospitalization, make sure you have an advocate watching out for you...if you don't and aren't well enough to pay attention to what is going on around you...God help you.

Amen to that, Brooks. Hope your fiance is doing much better. You are right on with your analysis of the overworked competent staff who are doing their best to juggle all of their demands while certain unqualified staff fill in the cracks. I and my children have been inpatient there several times over the course of the last five years, and I wasn't ever wholly impressed by the overall care. Certain staff members really amazed me with their commitment to the patient care, while others stunned me with their lack of compassion, education, and skill.

Welcome to the new normal for the US economy. People can't afford a doctor, so they go to the ER for everything, because the ER by law has to treat them. The working producers in the economy footing the bill yet again.

To Mack and Hippie, You need to wake up to the fact that the "stupids" as you call them will always be there and you will be mandated by law to serve them and their needs, like it or not. It' time to ramp up our hospitals to serve the public needs and spend some of those government dollars they so eagerly accept to pay their bonases each year. I am from a larger city that has 6 hospitals and not one has over a 4 hour wait at any time night or day in their ED. I was sent into this area to work, and you are right I am not a happy camper with the services provided by the local hospitals and it's not the personel that work there. They are great.

Well Mack76, you're lucky they were able to figure out it was a ruptured appendix and didn't tell you it was an ulcer and send you home with Zantac. Then you could have had two emergency surgeries removing a large part of your insides, spent two weeks in the ICU as the nurses on duty kept you awake all night shuffling and playing cards, and injecting the wrong drugs that turn into glue in your IV.
You know it's bad when you need a medically trained advocate to stay with you in the hospital to make sure you come out alive.

Wow Brooks, I hadn't read your post about the advocate before I posted mine. Not surprised though, many people realize this now.
We can blame the hospital as much as those abusing the ER. They aren't going to turn down $500-1000, for taking your temp and feeding you a Tylenol, even if that dollar figure is in the form of a write-off.

A new study conducted by the Center for Injury Research and Policy (CIRP) shows massive increases in the amount of acute computer-related injuries, particularly at home and for children under age 5.
The study, which will be published in the July issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that injuries from computers increased by 732 percent from 1994 to 2006. About 9,300 people each year suffer a computer-related injury, ranging from minor bruises to head injuries.
The authors found that 93 percent of the injuries occurred at home and that the computer monitor was most often to blame. The leading cause of injury for adults was hitting or getting caught on part of a computer, which accounted for 37 percent of cases. Approximately 21 percent of injuries were due to falling computer equipment. Children's injuries were typically the result of climbing on or playing near a computer. Children under five years old had the highest injury rates – making up 13.4 percent of all computer-related injuries. The most frequent type of injury for all age groups was laceration (39 percent).
One reason for this soaring rate of computer-related injuries is clearly the increasing number of households with computers; however, Time explains that
"…more households not only have computers but also have multiple computers and, therefore, multiple opportunities for injury. Another theory suggested by the researchers is that the democratization of computer access — as equipment has gotten cheaper — has resulted in increased ownership by new computer users or by people with less education in using the technology, who may be more prone to accidents and misuse."

Some 100 employees of Uzbekistan's State Customs Committee (UDBK) have been arrested on corruption charges.
The online news portal uzmetronom.com reported on June 27 that the arrests were conducted by Uzbekistan's National Security Service.
The report comes days after sources in Tashkent told RFE/RL that the chief of the UDBK's Anticontraband Directorate, Aziz Abdurakhmonov, and his deputy, Aziz Khasanov, had been arrested in the Uzbek capital earlier this month.
Uzbek authorities have not commented on the reports.

Proceedings of the 32nd Annual Meeting of the United States-Japan Natural Resources Food and Agriculture Panel Members Meeting, Tsukuba, Japan. 304-307. Technical Abstract: The mechanisms underlying the mammary and prostate cancer protective effects of fruits and vegetables remain unclear. We hypothesized that phytochemicals in these plant-derived foods contributed to such beneficial effects. To further identified cancer protective phytochemicals, their molecular targets in cell and the mechanisms that contributed to their cancer protective effects, we considered the use of microarray technology as a tool to address these questions. In the present study we presented results on using the microarray approach to examine the effects of genistein, a soy isoflavone, on prostate cancer cell.

The government should provide the medical equipment and medicines at the cheapest rate," said Jain of Paras. Justifying the medical cost, Dr Agarwal said, "We are paying far too less. Even Kenya is paying four times than what patients in India have to pay." Jain said, "The expenses for treatment in private hospital are less than government hospitals but since the expenses in private hospitals are taken care of by the patients, it seems expensive. But charges in a few 5-star hospitals are not justified."
Putting up his case Dr Agarwal said, "We are shelling out Rs 10 crore - Rs 12 crore per month in running the hospital. This includes Rs 2 crore that we disburse in salaries of the 1,200 odd employees. Or electricity bill only comes over Rs 1 crore."

Name: Motorola Atrix 4G
Carrier: AT&T
Price: $200 w/ Two-year contract
The Back Story: You've heard the talk, you've seen the commercials, and you've probably already peeped a couple of reviews, so by now you should have a good sense of what the Motorola Atrix 4G is all about. If not, here's a quick play-by-play.
Announced at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show alongside its tablet sibling, the Xoom, the Atrix 4G was touted as the fastest smartphone ever created. And if you were to look at its specs on paper, it rightly seemed to be: 1 Ghz dual-core processor, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, and 16 GB of onboard storage. It looked to be a beast.
However, the bigger story regarding the Atrix was that it also boasted the distinction of being the first smartphone that could be used as a laptop. When plugged into its accessory laptop dock, users could, in theory, use the phone a full laptop. It all sounded too good to be true. So is it? We carried an Atrix around for a little over a week, here's what we found.
• It's fast as hell: Seriously. Motorola's claim of having the fastest smartphone in the world is up for debate, but what's not is the fact that the Atrix flies. Any activity went along without a hiccup. Web pages loaded without a hiccup, games chugged along smoothly, apps closed and opened quickly. Considering the 1 GHz dual-core chip inside paired with the 1GB of RAM, that's not too surprising.
• Slim, but solid: We expected a phone with a dual-core processor stuffed inside to be a bit pudgy, at least in its first iteration. But, no. The Atrix is a hair thicker than the iPhone 4. The case is made out of plastic that leaves it feeling a bit cheap in your hand, especially when compared with the iPhone, or even some Droid models, but unlike a lot of other plastic smartphones, the Atrix has a good heft to it, which makes up for the tinpot tactile experience.
• Good battery life: The other surprise came with the discovery that the Atrix could last me a full work day (10-7) without charging. And it also stayed with me as I hit some after work events and took pictures, tweeted, sent e-mails and text messages, and even—gasp!—talked on the phone.
• Bright, clear screen: The capacitive touchscreen found on the Atrix is what Motrola likes to call its qHD display. Covered in Corning's Gorilla Glass, the 960x540 resolution screen worked great. It was very responsive to our touches—not sure if that has to do with the specs or the screen—and it displayed videos beautifully.
• Dope desktop HD dock: If you store a lot of videos on your phone, the $130 HD dock is a must-have. Plugging into the HDMI port, it allows you to easily view and control all the videos you have on your phone through Motorola's Entertainment Center software. The interface is easy to use and nicely designed. Save for the buggy remote control, we found it to be a great way to kick back and watch a movie on your TV.
• HD video recording: The 5-megapixel still camera isn't spectacular, but it gets the job done. We more so enjoyed the 720p HD video recording. There's also a front-facing VGA camera that we didn't really get a chance to use.
NOPE:• Dock doesn't provide a true laptop experience: The idea of using your phone as a laptop is, in a word, awesome. We give props to Motorola for thinking that far into the future when phones are indeed powerful enough to be used as a standalone computer. Sadly, we're not there yet.
When the Atrix is plugged into the dock, your phone begins to charge (which is cool), and it takes you to Motorola's Webtop software suite. There you get a scaled down, linux-based operating system that gives you a really cool look at your phone's screen, and allows you to browse the Net through Firefox (why it's not Chrome, we have no idea).
We found the Webtop environment to be slow and unresponsive at times. Browsing websites through Firefox proved to much, much slower than doing the same on the Atrix.
There are no productivity apps available in Webtop, so if you wanted to, say, jot down some notes when you're on the go, you'd have to log in to Google Docs to do so, and do that is such a arduous process, you would be better off undocking the Atrix and typing your notes on the phone.
• Price: In order to get the full Atrix 4G experience—laptop dock, HD dock, keyboard and mouse controller—one would need to drop close to $1,000. You'd be better off getting an Atrix and a Xoom and a calling it a day.
Final Say: By and large, the Atrix 4G is one of the best, if not the best, smartphones on the market. Its a sleekly designed handset that has dual-core power we believe hasn't even been fully tapped yet. We feel safe in saying that buyers will be happy with this phone for a long while.
As for all the accessories? We say skip 'em. Instead of laying down $500 for a laptop dock that doesn't really act as a laptop, put that money towards a tablet or a netback. Instead of copping the HD dock, just get an HDMI cable. We like where Motorola's mind is, we just wish the execution was better.

SATA 3 SSD Roundup Review
Anvil IOPS
Published: 27th February 2012 | Source: OC3D | Price: |
Anvil IOPS
With the smaller data block size you can get through more Input/Output operations per second (hence the IOPS). Even with such a reasonable variance in results it shouldn't overly affect the actual transfer rate. However, in the read tests the Corsair is the most consistent providing good results in all three data block sizes. The Intel struggles with the smaller 4K blocks, but makes it up with the performance in the 32K block size, giving a pretty big 5548 IOPS.
Write testing is much closer between the drives. Indeed you'd struggle to separate them in pure number terms, let alone the realities of daily use.
Most Recent Comments
As we bring a new benchmark to the OC3D suite of testing, we thought we'd give you a quick run through of some popular SSDs.
Continue ReadingQuote
to the SSD market. and thatll change with the months due to more and more technology and users of SSD.
All prices are approx after a quick search:
Intel = £360
Mushkin - only found a price for 120gb = £170
Corsair = £280
Kingston = 300
Definately gettting bang for your buck.Quote
F*** me, i'll get the 520 240GB sooner or later anyway...
edit: @leerory: Companies have quite different demands in terms of reliability, as such they pay more for that than raw POWER!!!!111 Quote
Glad I bought a Corsair Force GT 120GB the other week. Awesome drive imo.Quote
I'm not cheap, and i believe the intel 520 is one of if not the best SSD out there, but paying almost twice the money per GB compared to eg. the Mushkin Chronos is something to consider.
F*** me, i'll get the 520 240GB sooner or later anyway...
Mushkin Chronos Deluxe - $279
Kingston HyperX Drive - $330
Kingston HyperX Kit - $350
Corsair Force GT - $330
Intel 520 Series retail- $370
Intel 520 Series OEM - $335
Price wise, the best is the Mushkin drive. As long as you don't mind getting a OEM package you can get the Intel for close to the same price as the Corsair and Kingston offerings. For the most part, most of us on here build our own computers and don't really need a retail package.
IMHO if I was going to pay extra for a drive I would get the HyperX kit, comes with the external case, screwdriver, migration software, sata and usb cables, and a 3.5" tray.
For me personally the Intel did perform the best, but I have really good luck out of corsair products and think I will continue to buy quality products they offer. Quote


text: In this article—the second of a two-part piece on rapid response—we consider the manufacturing component and the role of disposable technologies. In considering emergency preparedness, however, we need to consider the capability of producing not just vaccines but also therapeutic proteins. The US government is spending significant sums of money to encourage the building of manufacturing capacity in the US to meet short-to-medium term needs while also looking for innovative approaches to put in place truly rapid response manufacturing.3 The main catalyst for innovation is the accelerated manufacturing of pharmaceuticals (AMP) program, run by the US Department of Defense. The program is focused on developing new technologies that will revolutionize the manufacture of protein-based therapeutics. A key component to achieving the goals of this program is the use of disposable technologies in both process development and manufacturing. Yet, if we reflect on the conclusions of Part 1 of this article,4 there are a number of challenges relating to the current use of disposables:

Ripe fruit flavors veer toward the jammy, spicy side, with wonderful red fruit, cherry, raspberry and currant flavors. The intensity and persistence of the flavors are supported by the firmly tannic structure.

Products by this manufacturer
The following information (Health Effects, Handling/Disposal, and Ingredients) is taken from the product label and/or the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) prepared by the manufacturer. The National Library of Medicine does not test products nor does it evaluate information from the product label or the MSDS.
What is an MSDS?
Health Effects
Enter text or highlight term...
Caution: Light Aromatic Solvent Naphtha. Do not use or store near flame, spark or hot surface. Use only in well ventilated area. Keep container closed. Clean up spills immediately. Liquid evaporates and forms vapors (fumes) which can catch fire and burn with explosive violence. Invisible vapors spread easily and can be set on fire by many sources such as pilot lights, welding equipment and electric motors/switches. Fire hazard is greater as liquid temperature rises above 85 deg F. Avoid prolonged or repeated breathing of vapor or contact with skin or eyes. Intentional misuse by deliberately concentrating and inhaling can be harmful or fatal. First Aid: If swallowed, do not make person vomit. Call a doctor immediately. If product gets on the skin, wash with soap and water. If product gets in eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes while holding eyelids open. Remove contact lenses, if worn. If irritation persists, see a doctor. If overcome by vapors, move patient to fresh air. If not breathing, apply artificial respiration and call a doctor. Note to physician: For emergency information call 1-800-231-0623. Ingestion of this product or subsequent vomiting can result in aspiration of light hydrocarbon liquid which can cause pneumonitis. Prolonged breathing of vapors can cause central nervous system effects.
Acute Health Effects:
From MSDS:Inhalation: Breathing the vapors at concentrations above the recommended exposure standard can cause central nervous system effects. Central nervous system effects may include one or more of the following: headache, dizziness, loss of appetite, weakness and loss of coordination. Eye Contact: The eye irritation potential of this substance has not been determined. However, it may be slightly irritating to the eyes and could cause prolonged (days) impairment of vision. The degree of the injury will depend on the amount of material that gets into the eye and the speed and thoroughness of the first aid treatment. Symptoms may include pain, tears, swelling, redness, and blurred vision. Skin Contact: The skin irritation potential of this substance has not been determined. however, it may be a severe skin irritant so contact with the skin could cause prolonged (weeks) injury to the affected area. The degree of injury will depend on the amount of material that gets on the skin and speed and thoroughness of the first aid treatment. The systemic toxicity of this substance has not been determined. However, it should be practically non-toxic to internal organs if it gets on the skin. Symptoms may include pain or a feeling of heat, discoloration, swelling, and blistering.Ingestion: The oral toxicity of this substance has not been determined. however, it may be slightly toxic to internal organs if swallowed. The degree of injury will depend on the amount absorbed from the gut. Because of the low viscosity of this substance, it can directly enter the lungs if it is swallowed (this is called aspiration). This can occur during the act of swallowing or when vomiting the substance. Once in the lungs, the substance is very difficult to remove and can cause severe injury to the lungs and death.
Chronic Health Effects:
This product contains light aromatic solvent naphtha, a mixture of C8, C9 (predominant) and C10 aromatic hydrocarbons. Studies sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute showed no signs of neurotoxicity in rats exposed by inhalation to 1320 ppm (highest dose tested) for 13 weeks. An inhalation developmental toxicity study in mice showed fetal toxicity at 500 ppm (decrease in fetal body weights) and 150 ppm (increase in post implantation loss, decrease in fetal body weights, and increased incidence of unossified sternebrae and reduced skull ossification. Maternal toxicity was expressed at 1500 ppm by reduced food intake, inhibited body weight gain and 50% mortality. No evidence of maternal toxicity was noted at 100 and 500 ppm; no evidence of fetal toxicity was noted at 100 ppm; therefore, the developmental toxicity NOEL for inhalation of light aromatic solvent naphtha was considered to be 100 ppm. This product contains Stoddard solvent, a mixture of straight and branched-chain paraffins, naphthenes and aromatic hydrocarbons. Based on studies of Stoddard solvent sample 85-01 sponsored by the American Petroleum Institute, the acute dermal LD50 was found to be >3.0 g/kg and the acute oral LD50 was found to be >5.0 g/kg. Acute inhalation toxicity tests showed a no observable effect level for inhalation at 4.0 mg/l, with eye irritation and slight loss of coordination at 8 mg/l, and tremors, CNS depression and death within 7.5 hours of exposure to 10 mg/l. In a 28-day dermal study sponsored by the API, moderate skin irritation occurred at 200 mg/kg, with moderate to severe irritation above 1000 mg/kg. The API also determined the primary dermal irritation index to be 4.5, and the primary eye irritation index to be 0 at 24 hours. In human sensory response tests, exposure to Stoddard solvent at 0.60 mg/l caused mild eye and nose irritation after 30 minutes with increased blink rate and eye irritation at 2.4 mg/l, and eye irritation and tearing at 2.7 mg/l. No significant effects on psychomotor performance was noted.
No ingredients of the product have been identified as an NTP, California Prop 65, IARC (Group 1, 2A, 2B), or EPA carcinogen.

Customer Service | Call us at (800) 710-9770 9:30 - 7 est M-F | Email Us at email@example.com HOW WILL WE GET YOUR PRESCRIPTION?
Order Dasuquin Small/Medium Dog, 84 Soft Chews today if you notice your dog is having difficulty moving around or playing less.
They may be experiencing joint pain caused by regular wear and tear or even arthritis.
Dasuquin is a joint supplement that combines high quality glucosamine and chondroitin with ASU (avocado/soybean unsaponifiables).
These ingredients help inhibit the enzymes responsible for breaking down your pet's cartilage, and they also help promote new cartilage growth.
This allows Dasuquin to protect your pet's joint function and mobility.
Dasuquin can be used in healthy dogs that need extra support or in dogs that currently have arthritis or some other joint disorder. Because this product is a nutritional supplement, veterinarians often recommend its use along with traditional NSAIDs in dogs with arthritis. In fact, Dasuquin is the number one joint health brand recommended by veterinarians.
Initial Period (4-6 Weeks)
Maintenance (After Initial Period)
If your dog responds sooner to Dasuquin than 4-6 weeks, you may lower their dose to the Maintenance Level. Once you see consistent improvement at the Maintenance Level, you may further reduce the dose to every other day. Dogs on the Maintenance Level may have their dose increased as needed e.g. weekends or other times when they are more active.

Definition of trochee in English:
A foot consisting of one long or stressed syllable followed by one short or unstressed syllable.
Example sentences
- Although not one line of iambic hexameter appears, lines sometimes begin with a trochee or spondee or two, drift gently toward an iambic norm, and then depart from it.
- We hear iambs, trochees, Virgil's hexameters, the Norse alliterative lines, each arranged in their various couplets, quatrains, choric stanzas, gnomic verses, and much more besides.
- The first line, for example, appears to begin with two unstressed syllables followed by two stressed ones, while the second line unquestionably contains a trochee and an iamb and therefore forms a choriambic foot.
Late 16th century: via Latin from Greek trokhaios (pous) 'running (foot)', from trekhein 'to run'.
Words that rhyme with trocheechokey, croaky, folkie, folky, hokey, hokey-cokey, hoki, jokey, karaoke, Loki, okey-dokey, Okie, pokey, poky, smoky

The Tucker County Senior Centers will host two candidate forums so that voters can hear candidates address issues that are of public concern.
The first forum is scheduled from 1 to 3 p.m. April 14 at the Mt. Top Center in Thomas. The second forum is set from 1 to 3 p.m. April 21 at the Parsons Senior Center.
Seniors also might want to take part in a trip to Amish Country. As of March 30, there are two openings for the trip, set April 24 to 26 trip to the Sugarcreek, Ohio Amish Country. Call 304-478-2423 for more information.
Meanwhile, the trip to the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, which is scheduled for Sept. 17 to 29, is currently filled. However, if any vacancies occur, people registered on the reserve list will be contacted. If no one on the reserve list wants to sign up for the trip, the Senior Center will announce any openings.
The dates for the trip to Lancaster and the new production of Jonah at the Sights and Sounds theater are set for Aug. 14 to 16. The trip will include three days and two nights and the price will be about $345 per person, double occupancy. The trip also will include a visit to Gettysburg. Call the Senior Center for more information or to register for the trip.
The Travel Committee will take payments for the Sugarcreek and Grand Canyon trips from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. April 12. If you need to make other arrangements, call Sam at the Senior Center.
In other news, there is a meeting each Monday, usually at 10 a.m., to work on plans for the Senior Olympics. If you would like to participate, call the Senior Center for more information or to confirm the time and date of the next meeting.
If any individuals or businesses are interested in helping sponsor the Senior Center's Olympic contestants, their help would be much appreciated. In the past, contestants have done a superb job in representing Tucker County. While they greatly enjoy participating, doing so incurs a considerable expense. The Olympians also will plan fundraisers to help their cause.
