It's that time of year again, with thousands of high school students sitting for the SAT. It's a different beast than most of us took; now your score is out of 2400 points, not 1600. There are no antonyms, you can use calculators, quantitative comparisons have disappeared, and you need to write a 25 minute essay. USA Today has an article about the test, and various student angst problems with it here.
These changes, instituted last year, are just the most recent in a long line of reforms since the Scholastic Aptitude Test was introduced in 1926. The College Board says the test has "evolved to remain aligned with classroom practices." As such, the math section has started covering more advanced work, the word "Aptitude" has been removed, and the letters SAT now don't stand for anything.
I'm quite torn on this. On one hand, the SAT has always been about determining your ability to succeed in college. One's performance in the high school curriculum is usually the best predictive measure in this regard. A standardized exam that tests the high school curriculum helps colleges compare students across schools (when straight A students get "1750" at one school, and get "2100" at another, you have a pretty good indication which school is more rigorous). And I'm thrilled that schools now have to teach writing (the most neglected "R" in the past).
On the other hand, one of the original marks in the SAT's favor is that it didn't cover the high school curriculum. Before the early 1900's, few people beyond the sons of wealthy, WASPy families attended college. Before pursuing higher education, these young men attended a handful of northeastern prep schools. The SAT provided a way for young people from high schools that hadn't aligned their curricula with Harvard to prove they were just as much Harvard material. After all, if the SAT didn't test knowledge of the high school curriculum, nothing prevented a brilliant working class kid from a bad school from outscoring a privileged, but not so bright, boy from Exeter.
Or at least that's the theory. It's hard to design a pure intelligence test. As kids have started being exposed to more logic puzzles and games like mazes, their ability to solve such puzzles has risen. The old SAT covered subject matter such as geometry; my math score (but presumably not my intelligence) rose 140 points on the old test after taking a summer class in the topic.
The fine line between innate intelligence and subject matter exposure is one reason many educators are wary of using intelligence tests alone to select kids for gifted programs. The National Education Association website has an article on a math program in Connecticut that tries, explicitly, to expand the pool of kids identified as capable of doing advanced mathematical work, by moving beyond IQ tests.
"Kids are selected based on multiple criteria, including a special assessment of nonverbal math ability, which measures such things as spatial sense and reasoning, and standardized tests when available. Teacher recommendations and prior grades also factor in. Opening up the selection process (gifted programs in the past often selected students based on IQ scores alone) has allowed students with less obvious talents to benefit," the article says.
Yet at the same time that teacher recommendations and grades are being used, the NEA article warns teachers that "Sometimes actions speak louder than words. A kid who seems bored or disinterested (even acting up) may, in fact, need more challenging work." Since such students are less likely to be earning high marks and teacher praise, opening up the selection process might miss them.

About the SAT... personally, I miss the old test. The new one is an unnecessarily long ordeal (especially the day it was first given. I was at the test for six hours.) The old one seemed to test logic more, and I miss analogies. But, I do very well on the new test (800V,740M,740W) so I suppose I can't complain. I think that no matter how the test is designed, some kids are going to be at a disadvantage, and the test is going to take up ridiculous amounts of time. The test will never be perfect, and the problem with making it 'better' is that no one can agree upon what 'better' might mean.
Dear Laura
I strongly support your point that access to gifted education should not be based on one test. The ability of one test to assess true intellectual ability for an individual is limited at best.
For example the correlation beween different iq tests, or iq and old sat, is around 0.7, which means score on one test accounts for only 49% of the variance in performance on another. The coeffiecient is actually lower at higher scores (regression to the mean).
Put in lay terms, a correlation of 0.7 or less means a child has a good chance of being found PG on one test and not even G on another.
IMO (I anticipate being flamed on this one here) tests should not be used to EXCLUDE children from gifted programs, but rather to identify students not found based on their class work. If the child cannot keep up with the class then they can be put back with standard schooling but if they are doing well they should be allowed to stay in no matter what their test scores.
PS - in the few school systems with gifted programs (including my nieces) it is common for children to be kicked out independent of their performance based on yearly IQ or other aptitude testing.
I don't know how to measure it, but I think the test should be less academics-focused and instead look at 3 areas. 1. Problem solving; 2 Ability to generate original thought and ideas; 3. Emotional awareness/control. I add the third one not because it's about intelligence but rather a sort of predictor of success.

Jason, I'm dumbfounded that your nieces' gifted program is set up this way. It shows such ignorance of who gifted people are and what they need, not to mention human development and the purpose of tests. That's really very disturbing.
Concerning the SAT, I see the point of it for getting into college, but I do think that as a measure of intelligence it is an example of correlation, not causation. Especially if you can raise your score so drastically with extra training.
Hi Jo Jo
Unfortunately a lot of them in NJ are set up that way. Its largely because the resources for them are so minimal - they almost seem to look every way they can to reduce the class number. (of course that is the last step before eliminating the program altogether).
Actually the SAT is as good an IQ test as anything else. There was an excellent article by Frey and Detterman proving this recently.
(see for a press report on it
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2004/07/04/the_sat_tests/ )
The real myth here is that IQ tests are NOT coachable. The WAIS uses a lot of very standard puzzle type questions you can find on the internet or games magazine as well as standard vocabulary testing like on the SAT. The SB tests up until 5 were mostly vocabulary and reading comprehension - again shown to be coachable through the experiences with the SAT.
Anyway my main point, building on Laura's point about the lack of an absolute test measure of ability, is that since no one test can give a very accurate measure gifted programs should be more inclusive in enrolling students. Furthermore performance in the program, not on a test, should determine who stays with the program.

Even on days when the crowd is listless, the opponent uninspiring, and they have far from their best stuff, the Maryland Terrapins still can count on one constant – their dominance on the boards.
Saturday night with the Terps and the announced crowd of 10,282 seemingly suffering from an overdose of tryptophan, Maryland still rolled to 70-53 victory over Georgia Southern, thanks in large part to a 49-25 rebounding edge.
It took a while for Maryland (4-1) to assert its advantage against the Southern Conference also-ran which hasn't had a winning season since 2007-08. The Terps fell behind 9-1 in the opening minutes, prompting coach Mark Turgeon to call an angry timeout and take corrective measures.
"Physically and mentally we weren't ready to play," Turgeon said. "It wasn't really a fun game to be a part of."
But 7-2 sophomore Alex Len (10 points, seven rebounds) and freshmen Charles Mitchell (13 points, 11 rebounds) and Shaquille Cleare (10 points, five rebounds) got the message as the Terps started throwing their weight around.
"We were pretty aggressive on the boards, me and Charles and Alex getting it done," Cleare said. "You can't start on offense unless you got the basketball. Our job as bigs is to box out, be physical, get the rebound, and get it to the guards.'
Maryland has lived up to those principles, out-rebounding all five foes decisively. The margins have been 16 (Kentucky), eight (Morehead State), 12 (Long Island), 16 (Lafayette), and 24 (Georgia Southern), not that Turgeon is particularly impressed.
"It's funny, it doesn't feel that way during the game," Turgeon said. "A lot of it is, we're just bigger than you are – that type of deal."
Maryland's size advantage was apparent the moment the starters stepped on the floor. Georgia Southern (2-3) started four players listed as guards. The lone forward, 6-foot-6 Mike Baynham, finished with two points and three rebounds.
Maryland also was boosted by senior Logan Aronhalt (12 points) who hit all four of his 3-point attempts while his teammates went a combined 1 of 12 from beyond the arc.
"He made one against the zone, so we got them out of the zone," Turgeon said. "It's good to see because Logan hasn't shot the ball well. He was in the gym early this morning."
With a 3-pointer five seconds into the second half, Aronhalt, a transfer from Albany, triggered a 17-4 run, which gave Maryland a 46-30 lead. The blitz included three baskets by the 6-8 Mitchell, a 3-pointer by Nick Faust (11 points, five assists), and a 3-point-play by Len.
"Coming from Albany [I was] playing basically 35 minutes a game," Aronhalt said. "For me to flip roles, play spot minutes here and there, just come in and make shots, it's different. It's taken me a couple games to get used to it."

axelkjata replied to axelkjata's topic in General and Gameplay Programming[quote name='Haps' timestamp='1349466259' post='4987226'] I'm a decent programmer and I know my way around an image program, but the latter takes me much longer for tinier gains than the former. It's completely different for each person, but if you're doing the art yourself, that will still take up a notable amount of time. Is the combat action-oriented, or turn-based? You mentioned both Zelda and FF so I wasn't quite sure. With one, you'll have to worry more about proper hit detection and the physics of movement and attacks, which can be a little troublesome. The other can be technically simpler (if you're not making the number system complicated,) but can be further improved with some flair to make it interesting to sit through. And that's where you can cover yourself on the features - You can call out the concepts in general, but still allow yourself the room to dress it up a bit too. Plenty of games have been made in 6 months or less, though usually with some level of experience - and drastically differing levels of quality. Comparable to your concept, "Cthulu Saves The World" was released 9 months after their previous title, but carried over a lot of the development work from it too. I don't know how long they spent on its predecessor, but this was in one interview about it: [quote]Reyes: ... what would you say was the most difficult aspect of making your own role-playing game? Boyd: Probably programming the battle system and related code. I went in thinking that I'd have the battle system code done in a week or so, and it ended up taking over a month to do.[/quote] [/quote] I was thinking of making it technically more FF related with the battle system. The numbers system wouldn't be complicated or anything. Looking at Cthulu saves the world, it would be similar in concept to that game too. If that took experienced people 9 months, I don't think me on my own would come close to making a finished game, perhaps a couple of levels...
axelkjata replied to axelkjata's topic in General and Gameplay Programming[quote name='Haps' timestamp='1349463888' post='4987213'] Well, since it's a [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_matter_of_programming"]small matter of programming[/url], it sounds like it'll be done [url="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Soon&defid=4387130"]Soon[/url], particularly if you're counting in [url="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=valve%20time"]Valve time.[/url] It's really not easy to estimate the scope of a project particularly when little of the groundwork is done and we don't know the resources that you've got. Are you allowed access to third-party libraries? Do you have a partner or a team? Will you have to spend time drawing your own graphics? It's also different from person to person - I might get lucky and bang out the combat system in a productive week while locked in my room, and be held up at quest tracking for a month while you've blown through both in half the time. You should probably try to build a simple system then build content onto it as you go. Start with the combat and if it takes you five months, use the last to turn it into an arena style RPG with a text menu shopping screen between bouts. If you manage to get an overworld map done, use it as a point-A-to-B travel system between multiple combat zones. If you manage to get a dungeon system, you might have enough time to throw in procedurally generated instances or a roguelike. It's also not a problem to finish early - You can continue to polish a completed system and you may find yourself surprised at the innovations that can come out of it. [/quote] The only thing is, we have to write an initial report where we specify the goals of our project. So it will look bad if I implement or do not implement stuff that I have specified/not specified in the project goals. I am on my own for making this, so it would be the work of just one person. I was not thinking of implementing a quest system as such, simply something along the lines of go to this location/talk to this person/kill this boss to make the story progress. I was thinking of making the graphics myself, and using tilemaps with graphics similar to that of Final Fantasy (http://allgamesplayed.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/ff1.jpg). But even this could take up a lot of time in the project which could be used for coding.
axelkjata posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingHey there, I am undertaking a final year project as part of my university degree, and for it I need to create a Lua RPG. This sounded great when I was applying for this project, but I am having a problem deciding on the scale of the project. I wanted to make a 2D RPG with basic graphics (similar to old Legend of Zelda/Final Fantasy games). The RPG would be an open world RPG with items to pick up, enemies to fight, and towns/dungeons generated by me rather than randomly generated. I have roughly 6 months to do this, and don't think I'll have enough time to make a complete game. It may be better to simply make a text based RPG where users choose from options (e.g. arrive in a forest, head north/south), but I feel that this could be completed way before the 6 months have passed. Anyone have a rough idea of how much could be accomplished on average in 6 months, assuming something like 15 hours work a week? Sorry if this is a very vague question, I am just really struggling on deciding what RPG I should set myself on making, instead of making one and finishing it too early, or making another and running out of time.

Definitions of subsume
contain or include; " This new system subsumes the old one"
To take up into or under, as individual under species, species under genus, or particular under universal; to place ( any one cognition) under another as belonging to it; to include under something else.
To include as comprehended or subordinate.
consider ( an instance of something) as part of a general rule or principle
Usage examples for subsume
" The official French formula for annexing the Saar was to subsume it under " Alsace- Lorraine" meaning the Alsace- Lorraine of 1814- 1815. By insistence on " 1871" the President was really defining the ultimate boundary between Germany and France, was adverting to the secret treaty, and was casting it aside. "– Public Opinion by Walter Lippmann
" Hence the problem arises, 'How is it possible to subsume objects of empirical perception under pure conceptions? "– Kant's Theory of Knowledge by Harold Arthur Prichard
" Indian thought is not inclined to dualism, which is perhaps the outcome of a practical mind desiring a certain course and seeing everywhere the difficulties which the Evil One puts in the way of it, but rather to that pantheism which tends to subsume both good and evil under a higher unity. "– Hinduism and Buddhism, Vol I. (of 3) An Historical Sketch by Charles Eliot

By Calum MacLeod, USA TODAY
BEIJING Chinese couples are adopting in growing numbers, a trend that could eventually sever the pipeline that has sent up to 75,000 Chinese orphans, mostly girls, to new homes in the USA since 1992.
Researchers in China say local data and anecdotal evidence show what sketchy national statistics don't: that record numbers of Chinese are adopting.
Foreign adoptions are an embarrassment to the government, says Pi Yijun, a scholar at the China University of Politics and Law. "Even researchers do not get the national figures, only local numbers. (The government) strictly controls data like this, and the total number of adoptions is very secret."
China's Ministry of Civil Affairs, which oversees adoptions, confirms that foreign adoptions peaked in 2005 and are declining.
"It is partly because there are less children who (are abandoned and) can be adopted, and partly because the volume of domestic adoptions has risen," says Wang Suying, a ministry official.
The surge in domestic adoptions coincides with tighter rules for Americans and other foreigners looking to adopt Chinese children.
In May, China moved to disqualify foreign applicants who are single, overweight or older than 50. At the same time, the backlog of foreign applications in Beijing has grown to more than two years and prompted some to pull out.
Some Americans "are moving to other options or deciding that adoption wasn't in the cards for them," says Joni Garner, mother of two adopted Chinese girls and case manager for AAC Adoption and Family Network in Berthoud, Colo.
Why Chinese are adopting:
•Growing affluence: As many as 250 million of China's 1.3 billion people are part of a growing middle class. The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences says 40% of Chinese will be middle class by 2020.
"Better economic conditions mean more Chinese are able to bear the financial burden," says Ji Gang, director of domestic adoptions at the China Center of Adoption Affairs, a government agency.
•Changing attitudes: Deep-rooted prejudices against taking in children who aren't blood relatives have begun to fade, as have historic biases against girls.
"The importance of continuing the family line is eroding as China modernizes," says Hung Huang, a Beijing publisher who adopted a girl last year. "Traditionally, Chinese felt that orphans signaled shame."
•Empty nesters: Urban couples, restricted to a single child by a 3-decade-old law, are adopting after their natural children reach adulthood and leave home.
"People want to have more than one child but cannot under the family-planning policy," Ji says. "Adopting or fostering gives them a way."
Booming interest in domestic adoptions has given rise to a loosely regulated market for infants. Websites such as Orphan Net offer forums for prospective parents.
Wang Hongbin, a lighting salesman in eastern Anhui province, says he and his wife posted an ad for a daughter on Orphan Net after unsuccessful fertility treatments.
He says they are willing to pay up to $1,400 to adopt a healthy child — a huge sum in a country where the government puts the average annual wage at $2,296.

I am installing Windows server 2008 R2 sp1, onto a box with an Asus Z8NA-D6 motherboard.
I have set the BIOS to use SATA in RAID mode, and have installed the drivers for the RAID. However,evertime I click NEXT, I get the message saying "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers and then click OK".
I have downloaded all the drivers I can find from the Asus web site, and installed them. I have run the makedisk utility and reinstalled all the RAID drivers I can find, but still no joy.
I'm assuming that it's something to do with storage drivers, but i have no idea what.
Anyone got any ideas?

All fixed now. We use OL and had downloaded the os as an ISO.
It turns out that the download wasn't as good as it might have been, and a fresh download cured the problem.

Usually you will get that message if the driver you're trying to load is either the wrong architecture (64/32bit) or wrong OS.
Looking at the list of drivers on this page (and selecting Win2008 R2 as the OS)
I'd suggest trying the latest versions of both the Chipset and the SATA drivers.
Is this what you've done?
As the SATA controller on that board is an Intel chip you could always download the driver directly from there
Sep 19, 2011 at 7:14 UTC
Hi RedKing
I've downloaded and tried all the latest drivers from the Asus site, but will try the Intel, and see if it makes any difference.
Sep 19, 2011 at 7:24 UTC
Me again!
I downloaded the driver from Intel, but it was the same as the one I downloaded from Asus. When I browse to it the install doesn't recognise it as a compatible driver. If I untick the box to "Hide drivers that are not compatible..." I see the list of available drivers, but none of them work.
Sep 19, 2011 at 9:05 UTC
Is the device listed in device manager at all? It might be listed as an unidentified device.
Go into the properties window for the device and click on the Details tab. From the drop down list select Hardware Ids. You'll get something like the list below;
These are just a series of codes that are used to identify individual pieces of hardware. The last one in the list is usually the least specific. Taking the last entry, the vendor ID is 8086 and the device ID is 3b09 and the class code is 0601 (you can use the http://www.pcidatabase.com/ to look up the codes and vice versa, extra info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_configuration_space)
So if you google for the hardware ID (you can right click it and copy) then you might be able to find a driver for another device that is branded differently but is actually the same device. Failing that, you might find some more info about your issue.
Sep 19, 2011 at 9:48 UTC
I haven't got an operating system yet - so there is no way of telling which driver is missing.
Perhaps I should have been more explicit:
I start to install the OS, select the regional settings, the click "Install Now". Then I get the famous "CD/DVD driver missing..." which actually means "I can't find the media with the driver for your RAID on it".
I install the RAID drivers, and then I get the message as shown in the subject above.
I have installed all the drivers from the driver disk, downloaded all the drivers for this motherboard from the Asus website in case the ones on the driver disk were out of date, but I'm still getting the same message.
I'm convinced it's to do with storage, since I haven't yet got the prompt for drive/partition selection.
I've googled 'til I'm blue in the face. There are others having the same issue, but no resolutions that have been successful in my situation.
Sep 19, 2011 at 11:31 UTC
You might be better off taking a completely different approach to this.
Instead of installing server 2k8 R2 directly why not install a VMWare server which will use the raid configuration? Once done install the Windows server as a virtual server and you shouldn't have the issue of drivers.
Sep 20, 2011 at 1:56 UTC
Unfortunately virtualisation in this instance is not an option. <sigh>
Sep 22, 2011 at 3:25 UTC
Update: Engineer came from hardware supplier - he couldn't get it to work either, so it's gone off to the hospital for a good kicking.

Aug 16, 2012 at 11:13 UTC
it was quite a while ago now, but so far as I can remember, yes, that's what I did. I'll have a chat with the guys and see if they can remember anything else we did to get it to work.

Endless.Technology is an IT service provider.
I have found over the years that one thing with MS supplied ISO's is to always burn them at the slowest speed possible. I still get the occasional MS ISO that if burned at default (max) speeds, the ROM is no good. You can read it fine on another system, but booting and installing from it is no go. We tried all sorts of combinations of burners and ROM's, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it.
Also, if you are trying to use the MS USB tool, some hardware will not cooperate with trying to install the 2008 family from USB Flash, and gives the same error. We recently went a few rounds with a Supermicro A1SRi-2758F that had this issue. Used a slow burned ROM and it worked.

Hey everybody!
As always, I appreciate your ongoing support of my blog and your input in these discussion posts. Thank you! So let's get to the discussion for today, shall we?
Next-Gen Consoles -- At What Point are They a "Must Have"?
At last year's E3, my friends and I excitedly devoured every bit of news about the new consoles. The Wii U had already been out for a short while and was really struggling. Xbox One became known as the Xbone after being destroyed by Sony's show of the PS4. Yet for all the hype, at launch not a single one of these systems would get my dollar. I would patiently wait until they released the second iteration of the new console or until a must-have game or two hit the shelves.
That time came much sooner than I anticipated. They released the trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight and announced it for PC and next-gen consoles only (Wii U excluded). Having a barely passable PC, I knew that I would be getting my next-gen console
this October (EDIT: release date pushed to Feb. 24, 2015) with the game's release; I can't help it -- I love Batman, and I love the Arkham series.
I'm nearly 100% sure I'll be getting a PS4 since Xbox One has yet to impress me with anything in its list of exclusive games. Sometimes I wonder if Microsoft only thinks gamers are men who play shooters, racers and sports games (I am not the only one who has felt this way, either). PS4 isn't doing too much better at the moment in that regard, but at least they do have something a bit different with Infamous: Second Son, as well as a stable of respected developers with good track records. Uncharted 4 will be a must have. I am also not opposed to the high resolution, ultra-polished copy of The Last of Us for the PS4. With plenty of other third party games to choose from and Playstation Plus still out-classing Xbox Live's Games with Gold, I see myself more at home with Sony. I'm still leaving the door open to Microsoft though -- I did own an Xbox 360 for a good while alongside my PS3, but once again I want variety and excellence in my exclusives to justify the purchase.
My friend Mike (also here on MyIGN) has been sorely tempted with the thought of buying up a Wii U since the release and success of Mario Kart 8. With Super Smash Bros. on the horizon, and his 2DS digging its addictive hooks into him more everyday, it's only a matter of time until he does. To me, Nintendo is doing well enough with their first party exclusives -- though I would argue that a level of their "magic" has been lost since the SNES and N64 days. If I was going to buy a Wii U, it would mean one of two things: more first party exclusives and a slightly lower price, or a couple must-have third party exclusives. Nintendo tends to excel with great JRPGs like Chrono Trigger and Xenoblade Chronicles, platformer/brawler games like Banjo Kazooie and Conker's Bad Fur Day, and great local multiplayer shooters like GoldenEye and Perfect Dark. I realize that I just listed four games from Rare, but that's my point. Microsoft has their claws in Rare now, and who does Nintendo have to support the Wii U besides themselves? We'll still get our Zelda games, our Starfox, our Metroid and we'll be grateful. So the Wii U won't be a must-have for me until I have at least a few more of those kinds of games or a tempting price cut.
And so, I wait just a bit longer.
October (EDIT: February 2015) will be my early birthday gift to myself, Nintendo needs a few more games and Microsoft has a long ways to go to prove that their console has anything I want that I won't either be able to find on the PS4, or is enough of a must-have that I would invest in a Xbox One, and not just play it at a friend's house.
What about you? Do you have a next-gen system yet? Was the purchase worth it at the time?
If you are like me and waiting, what are you waiting for? Second-iterations of the systems with fewer bugs and smaller sizes? Or is it all about the games?
Maybe you'd just like to voice your opinion about how PC is better than these "next-gen" consoles? Sound off in the comments below and let's talk it out.

Standing in the middle of recovering and recovered | Life within an eating disorder
I am a twenty-something writer living in New York City and recovering from a 12-year battle with an eating disorder. In December 2013, I admitted myself to a treatment program and have been working toward recovery ever since. Now, in these later stages, I find myself standing in a sort of middle ground — en route to recovery, but still a ways from the finish line.
In the debate about whether one can ever fully recover, or whether one is fated to spend life in a chronic state of "recovering," I am wholeheartedly on the side that full recovery is possible. Even I if I never make it there myself, and I were to grow old with my eating disorder still at my side, I will swear by the fact that recovery is, in fact, real.
The middle ground is the rough terrain somewhere between "recovering" and "recovered." This middle ground is paved with the hope that full recovery is possible; however, walking it still requires daily focus and commitment. Standing here, one is sharply aware of how grueling yet critical the fight is, because the pain caused by both the eating disorder and recovery itself is still raw.
While there are many bloggers on both sides of recovery — from the relapsed to the fully-recovered — I believe this midway perspective is much less represented in the eating disorder literature. But standing here on the brink of recovery, I find there is a lot to say.
Through this site, I am reclaiming the voice that anorexia took from me. By speaking out, I hope to stay on this side of recovery, and, just maybe, help others along the way.
On this blog site you'll find my own journey through the recovery process, as well as news and commentary on issues that are relevant to patients, professionals, and supporters alike. One issue in particular that I believe must be addressed is the abysmal situation surrounding insurance coverage for eating disorders. Despite mental health parity laws, insurance providers disregard the needs of eating disorder patients. Case managers and hired physicians from these companies make unilateral decisions about the patient's treatment — decisions that, if the patient were to make them herself, would be considered AMA, against medical advice. Tragically, these malpractices sometimes costs patients their lives

Putting the pressure on light
Scientists design a way to determine the speed of light in composite materials
Light's speed slows in plywood, clouds, bones and other composite materials, but measuring by how much it slows has been a difficult task. Now scientists have found a way to determine the speed of light in such a material by varying its pressure, according to a report to appear in an upcoming Physical Review Letters.
"It's a very compelling and exciting piece of work," says physicist Allard Mosk of the University of Twente in the Netherlands.
