THELOYOLA MAROON VOLUME 67, NO. 1 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70118 AUGUST 26, 1988 Carter urges Mac purchase; Apple will push development VlacUniversity By Hank Stuever News Editor Welcome to the Computer Age — here at last. It didn't come to Loyola in the form of room-sized boxes whirring together a mush of numbers and equations within their hulls. It didn't happen with dreaded machines that cancel class reservations and accidentally double tuition bills. It came, rather, from a little white machine emitting a warm, blue glow. A machine that smiles, hums songs and even offers a polite belch when it hands back a diskette. A machine that can do a term paper the right way in one all-nighter. A miracle? More simply, an Apple Macintosh. A multibillion dollar industry that has swept the nation in a tidal wave of user-friendly machines and software, the Macintosh is quickly teaching its users the fine art of editing and revising. This industry has Loyola's official seal of approval in the form of a commitment between Loyola and Apple to integrate personal computing into the university's curriculum. This commitment is so strong that the Rev. James C. Carter, S.J., university president, wrote and mailed a letter this summer to every student and his or her parents, urging them to buy a microcomputer to help integrate computing into the Loyola degree. Preferably, the student or parent would buy an AppieAppie Macintosh, recommended by the Academic Computing Systems Advisory Committee. "I didn't write the letter," Carter said. "Mr. Nickles [Herbert L. Nickles, director of Academic Computing] wrote the letter and I revised it about five times before it went out." The letter says the recommendation to buy a computer reflects both Loyola's desire to keep up with the computer age and its need to standardize student and faculty computers. Carter said the letter was not meant simply to endorse one product "We're not committed to that," Carter said. "The reason I've hesitated in the past to go with only one vendor was that exchanging software from one computer to another was very difficult." "Apple tells us that is becoming less of a problem. By standardizing with Apple, we aren't necessarily forcing everyone to use Apple, since the software is becoming more compatible with other systems," he said. Carter said one reason the letter was revised so many times was to avoid a product endorsement. "No decision [about requiring computers] is imminent," Carter says in the letter. However, the university did promise to promote Apple sales on campus in return for equipment grants totaling about $250,000 from Apple, funding for the new Business Solution Center and Apple's commitment to the "progenitor project," the Rev. George F. Lundy, S J., senior vice president, said. Photo by Erin Stephens Housing crunch puts 16 students in Tulane dorm By Robert Landry Assistant News Editor Sixteen male upperclass Biever Hall residents were transferred to Tulane University's Patterson Hall dormitory last week because of a campus housing shortage, Robert Reed, director of Residential Life, said. According to Reed, a disproportionate number of residents are accepted each year because a certain percentage of new students inevitably drop out. "The situation is such that you never know who's going to show up," Reed said. "It seems like paying a $50 deposit [on a dormitory room] should guarantee you getting the room you sign up for," Jay Powers, psychology sophomore, said. Powers and his roommate, Andre Doucet, biology sophomore, were two of the residents asked to move. Housing crunches are nothing new to Loyola residents. Every year, a few incoming students are housed in study lounges and with resident assistants until space becomes available. By Tuesday afternoon, nine students were still residing in study lounges and RA's rooms. According to Reed, rooms became available for all nine by Wednesday afternoon. However, students in Patterson Hall will remain there for the duration of the fall semester, and possibly throughout the spring semester. Reed cited a higher than average percentage of returning upperclassmen and an unusually large influx of freshmen as the main causes behind this year's housing shortage. Another factor is the increased number of local students who choose to live in the residence halls. New DC elevator increases access By Chris Doyle Editorial Editor A refund from New Orleans Public Service, Inc., has meant the long-awaited addition of an elevator for the Danna Center, according to a letter from the Rev. James C. Carter, S.J., university president. The letter, presented at the faculty convocation Aug. 18, did not specify the amount of the refund, but calls it the "principal source of funds" for the project The entire construction project, which will cost less than $302,000, includes a second floor walkway connecting the Academic and Residential Quad sides of the Danna Center, Vincent P. Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs, said. "I think it's a great idea, and it's long overdue," said the Rev. John F. Keller, S J., previous director for minority recruitment and retention at Loyola's law school.

9 1/2 Ninjas!
Some sources list John Morrissey as director of 9 1/2 Ninjas, while others credit Aaron Worth. There's no confusion, however, as to whom the "one-half" is. That honor goes to leading lady Andee Gray, who joins an all-male Ninja training group. Gray gets a big kick out of her lessons (no pun intended), until she realizes that she's been followed. It seems that a rival contingent of ninjas intends to assassinate her. And that's only one of the many surprises in store for the viewers of 9 1/2 Ninjas; this is no run-of-the-mill chopsocky effort, but a dizzy plunge into near-surrealism. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Dallas Buyers Club
Matthew McConaughey headlines director Jean-Marc Vallée's biographical drama centering on the story of Ron Woodroof, a Texas electrician who was diagnosed as HIV-positive in 1986, and who subsequently devoted his life to providing fellow HIV patients with non-FDA-approved drugs and supplements during an era when doctors were still struggling to understand the devastating disease. Defying his surprise death sentence, Woodroof set out to procure any and all non-toxic alternative HIV treatments available, and established a "buyers club" to provide the treatments to others afflicted with the disease. But that mission quickly made him a target for both the U.S. medical establishment and the pharmaceutical industry, both of which resented his defiance of government sanctions, and joined forces to shut down his operation by any means necessary. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A Los Angeles detective encounters high strangeness in his search for a missing woman and a 30-million-dollar cache of diamonds in this off-beat mystery thriller from Otis director Tony Krantz. Ned Cruz (Antonio Banderas) is the kind of detective people come to when all of their other resources have run dry. Approached by paroled Russian boxer Anton (Robert Maillet) to track down his elusive girlfriend, Lexie (Sienna Guillory), and recover the stash of diamonds she has stolen, Detective Cruz calls on all of his connections to get the job done. Eventually, his investigation leads him from a kinky Hollywood action icon (James Van Der Beek) to a multi-talented pornographer (Snoop Dogg) and a physics-obsessed waitress (Autumn Reeser) with an insatiable sexual appetite. Ned's hard work starts to pay off, however, when he ventures deep into the New Mexico desert, where an eccentric billionaire (Sam Elliott) and a brilliant physicist (Jimmi Simpson) have hatched a plan to recreate the Big Bang. Now, with the cops hot on his tail and a potentially catastrophic experiment unfolding right beneath his feet, Ned races to find the girl and recover the diamonds before the world comes to an end. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A man who was wrongly accused of bank robbery decides to live up to his criminal record in this romantic crime comedy starring Keanu Reeves, James Caan, and Vera Farmiga. Henry (Reeves) was drifting through life as a toll collector in Buffalo, NY, when one morning he happened across a half-baked bank heist. Unwittingly drawn into the harebrained plan, Henry eventually lands in jail for refusing to identify the robbers, and lands in a cell with amiable con artist Max (Caan), who has grown rather comfortable with life behind bars. According to Max, a man must first have a dream in order to find his purpose, and one year later Henry is a free man with an audacious plan. Since he's already on record as a convicted bank robber, Henry figures he may as well try his hand at the criminal lifestyle. After stumbling across an old underground bootlegger tunnel that connects the bank to an adjacent theater, Henry convinces Max to apply for parole in order to help him execute the perfect robbery. Posing as an actor, Henry lands the lead role in the theater's production of Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard, and begins working with Max to burrow their way into the nearby bank vault. But now the more time Henry spends in the theater, the harder he finds himself falling for his capricious co-star Julie (Farmiga), a development that could very well land them all in jail before the final curtain. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

The story begins in 1937 as the beautiful Louise, a popular fashion model who also owns the Tides hotel, commits suicide. She is despondent when she discovers her fiance and photographer has been lying and cheating. The film switches to the present. The hotel is abandoned and rapidly decaying. Louise returns and is obsessed with restoring it. She has also come back for revenge against all men who treat her as an object. She keeps up her vendetta until she meets a sensitive Cuban refugee, Carlos, who is also a photographer. They begin a strange relationship. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

This high-speed action comedy stars Charlie Sheen as Jack Hammond, who has been given a life sentence for a bank robbery that he didn't commit. Hammond manages to escape, and while trying to avoid capture at a gas station, he ends up kidnapping Natalie Voss (Kristy Swanson); he threatens her with what she thinks is a gun, although it turns out to be a candy bar. Jack and Natalie take off in her BMW, with Jack unaware that his "victim" is actually Dalton Voss (Ray Wise), one of California's richest and most powerful land barons. Soon half the state's law enforcement officers and every member of the media is on Jack's tail as he races down the highway; in the meantime, Natalie and Jack get to know each other, and while she doesn't much care for him at first (as you might imagine), before long her attitude has softened quite a bit. Alternative rock fans might want to keep an eye peeled for Henry Rollins, playing a policeman, and Anthony Kiedis and Flea from The Red Hot Chili Peppers as a pair of yahoos with a very large truck. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Once Teri Hatcher hit it big on the TV series Lois and Clark, several of her less memorable earlier projects began popping out of the woodwork. The R-rated The Cool Surface is listed as a 1993 film, but one wonders. Hatcher plays Dani Payson, a beautiful aspiring actress and neighbor to playwright Jarvis Scott (Robert Patrick). Jarvis observes Dani as she and her live-in lover alternately have sex and argue violently. He begins to have his own fantasies about Dani and is inspired to base one of his characters on her. The ambitious Dani finds out about his novel, then campaigns to win the lead in Scott's upcoming film. Cool Surface evidently wasn't cool enough to prevent certain well-proportioned members of the cast from baring all. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Fantasy Football 2012: Leonard Hankerson Leads 5 Deep Sleepers at Wide Receiver
By (Featured Columnist) on August 8, 2012
5,743 reads
To do what Victor Cruz did in 2011 is very difficult. Whether or not a player is heralded coming into the season, producing 1,536 yards in essentially 14 games during a single NFL campaign is a tremendous feat.
The fact that most people had no idea who Victor Cruz was at this time last year made it all the more impressive.
Jordy Nelson was one of three wide receivers to score double-digit touchdowns (15) last season, which also went largely unpredicted.
I'm not suggesting that the players in the following list will replicate the aforementioned seasons, but someone is going to appear from nowhere and come close. That's the nature of the NFL.
With that, these are my lottery ticket candidates at wide receiver for 2012.
5. Harry Douglas, Atlanta Falcons
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
Atlanta's third WR stands to benefit if the Falcons move away from throwing to Tony Gonzalez in what could be Gonzalez's final season. Gonzalez recorded only one catch in two of the Falcons' final three regular season games, and six total receptions over the same span.
Douglas is also next in line for targets should Julio Jones or Roddy White go down with an injury. He has proven capable of handling starter's duties, as evidenced by his production from Weeks 10-12 last season.
When Julio Jones strained his hamstring against the Saints, Douglas answered by tallying 14 catches, 229 yards and a touchdown over the two-plus weeks Jones missed.
4. Randall Cobb, Green Bay Packers
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
Green Bay's second-round pick in 2011 showed some playmaking promise, performing well in the return game (two touchdowns) as well as recording at least one reception in 15 of 16 games played (including the playoffs).
The Packers are already a well-oiled machine offensively, but it may be advantageous for them to consider using Cobb as a third or fourth receiver.
Randall Cobb caught a higher percentage (80.6) of passes thrown his way than any of his teammates who saw more targets. Jordy Nelson, fantasy football's second-best wide receiver last year, was second on the team with a 70.8 percent conversion rate.
But according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Randall Cobb played at least 250 fewer snaps than fellow wideouts Greg Jennings, Nelson, James Jones and Donald Driver. He finished the season with 25 receptions, 375 yards and one receiving touchdown.
Combined with increased experience, an uptick in Cobb's offensive playing time could easily result in 40 or 50 catches, 700-800 yards and a handful of touchdowns.
3. Chris Givens, St. Louis Rams
Dilip Vishwanat/Getty Images
To say the Rams were without a No. 1 WR last year is an understatement. Brandon Gibson led the team in targets with 71. That's 4.73 per game (over 15 games). By comparison, Roddy White led the NFL with 181 targets, good for 11.31 per game.
That means the job is wide open.
Likely with this in mind, the Rams invested two top-100 NFL Draft selections in rookies Brian Quick and Chris Givens.
Givens, a fourth-round pick from Wake Forest, boasts 4.4 speed.
The Rams could definitely use more speed on the perimeter, and if Givens has a strong preseason, it is very possible that the Rams could start a rookie duo at wide receiver in 2012.
2. Emmanuel Sanders, Pittsburgh Steelers
Gregory Shamus/Getty Images
Emmanuel Sanders can be a lottery ticket if Mike Wallace's contract lingers into the regular season. Antonio Brown has already emerged as a legitimate NFL receiver, leading the Steelers in targets in 2011. But Wallace led the team in touchdown receptions with eight.
No other Steeler had more than two.
Wallace is still unsigned, however, and someone will have to pick his game up to replace his production. Sanders is next in line.
If Sanders can stay healthy, he should be able to put up the numbers that some expected him to last season (in lieu of Brown) in Wallace's absence.
1. Leonard Hankerson, Washington Redskins
Patrick Smith/Getty Images
Here's to Leonard Hankerson's first NFL touchdown.
It hasn't happened yet, but it's a solid bet that the second-year receiver will score in 2012. Hankerson was the recipient of a successful two-point conversion pass attempt, and this season he will return to a Redskins receiving corps that features multiple new faces: Pierre Garcon (from Indianapolis), Dezmon Briscoe (from Tampa Bay) and Josh Morgan (from San Francisco).
As one of the main holdovers at wideout (along with Santana Moss), Hankerson has the advantage of more time in the Redskins' offensive system. He also possesses a good combination of size (6'2", 211 lbs) and speed (4.43 second 40-yard dash at last year's scouting combine).
The third-round pick from the 2011 draft has a chance to start in 2012.
Hankerson is likely to benefit from the experience of his first offseason unimpeded by the NFL lockout, as well as the addition of the Redskins' first selection of the 2012 NFL Draft: quarterback Robert Griffin III.

The concept of the rock-guitar solo in the eightees has pretty much been reduced to: Weedly-weedly-wee, make a face, hold your guitar like it's your weenie, point it heavenward, and look like you're really doing something. Then, you get a big ovation while the the smoke bombs go off, and the motorized lights in your truss twirl around!" -- The Real Frank Zappa Book.

A drinking fountain projects water at an initial angle of 50 degrees above the horizontal, and the water reaches a maximum height of .150 m above the point of exit a. Calculate the speed at which the water leaves the fountain. b. The radius of the fountain's exit hole is 4.00 x 10^-3 m. Calculate the volume rate of flow of the water. c. The fountain is fed by a pipe that at once point has a radius of 7.00 x 10^-3 m and is 3.00 below the fountain's opening. The density of water is 1.0 x 10^3 kg/m^3. Calculate the gauge pressure of the feeder pipe at this point. The fuck is the volume flow rate? How do we find the velocity it exits the pipe at? How is it possible to find the pressure only knowing the radius the depth? This doesn't make any sense. |
Volume flow rate is the rate of flow of a volume of a liquid as a function of time (I believe). For finding the initial velocity, you know the angle and the maximum height. Use kinematics to find the y component of velocity needed to get it to that height against the acceleration due to gravity. From there, you can use trig to determine the initial velocity. I didn't really look to hard at the rest. |
This may help for the Bimodal part. I'll try and find the others. Surprisingly, I've never covered these in the topics of Histograms... |
Polynomials Question: 7. Draw sketch graphs of y=2sinx and y=x and show that the equation x - 2sinx = 0 has a root near x=2. Find this root correct to two decimal places. Working out: f(x) = x - 2sinx f'(x) = 1 - 2cosx Therefore x2 = 2 - [(2-2sin(2))÷ (1-2cos(2))] Which = 3.93... Which doesn't sound right. The answer should be around 1.9 But when I try the same thing in Radians instead of Degrees mode, I get 2 - 0.099 which = 1.90. I just want to know why I must use Radians to get the right answer, and not Degrees? |
sin, cos and tan are functions that repeat every 2pi. When you put it in "degree mode", you basically stretch them out to repeat every 360 degrees. It's telling the calculator, "Okay, whatever I put in there, divide by 180/pi before actually calculating it." It's kind of like if you had a function "d = mpg(x)" that would tell you how many miles d you could go on x gallons of gas - if you give the gas as milliliters, the answer isn't going to be nearly right. |
Hi, I have a bunch of calculus problems that I don't fully understand. Would someone mind helping me get these answers? I have to draw them up in paint as I am uncertain as to how to make a differentiation sign in html. calculus problem 2.png [Mod-Edit: Please use the link option in the image uploader for large, screen-stretching images] |
No. It still works. The the integrand you get is something along these lines: New function of x - some constant that happens when you plug 2 into the indefinite integral. Then, you derive that and the constant disappears. From there, basically, it just undoes the integral (more or less) but the chain rule has to be used when you derive it. |

It's a lofty goal: make the World Wide Web truly global. Now, the Web's inventor says he'll try to do just that.
The new World Wide Web Foundation, founded by Tim Berners-Lee, will launch next year to bring the Web to people who don't have ready access to it, the organization announced today — an effort that reflects what Berners-Lee says is the inherent populist nature of the Web.
"The Web does not just connect machines, it connects people," Berners-Lee, who was working as a software engineer when he invented the Web, said last night during a speech to the philanthropic Knight Foundation, which gave the project a $5 million grant. "When a link is made, it is a person who makes the link. When a link is followed, it is a person who decides to follow it. Understanding and accounting for the social side of the Web was, and remains, a vital part of encouraging its growth."

I'm back at it with my Top 5 Songs of The Week. This week is was pretty easy for me for some reason, I listened to all the songs and these 5 jumped out at me right away. So that being said lets get to the list.
Alicia Keys "Fire We Made" f/ Maxwell
I know I don't put these in any type of order but this song is my number one song of the week, and I might add it to next week's list just because it's that damn cold. Alicia and Maxwell are two of the most amazing singers of our generations and them together just furthered that belief for me.
The Boy Illinois "Passport Playa"
The Boy Illinois is getting ready to release his next project 'The Memiors Of Gilbert Gaston' and he has two dope single leading up to that release in early December.
Big Boi "In The A" f/ T.I. & Ludacris
Big Boi did it again. So far from the songs that have dropped from Big Boi he has taken full advantage of the features he has. T.I. and Ludacris killed this, the beat is hard as hell, Big Boi did his things as usual, and he even added a thought provoking sample at the end. 'Vicious Lies and Dangerous Rumors' is going to NICE.
T.I. is a two time winner this week. It's hard to see any song with Andre 3000 on it not being in the top songs of the week, and I am not going to test that theory. T.I. spit a solid verse and 3k did something that he doesn't often do by letting us into his personal life when mentioning the apologizes to his mother, Big Boi, and "Baby Mother".
The Dream to me is real hit or miss. I really liked his first album but hated his second. This song reminds me of the music from his first album so I'm hoping this album will continue down this path and be a hit overall.
So that's this weeks list from me hope you all enjoy. Always feel free to comment with your thoughts and opinions. Til next week, two fingers to the side(that's peace to you don't get it).

It isn't always easy to find what you want in the app store, or to browse for apps that might not be in the charts.
With this problem in mind, Magvault brings together digital publications, to be perused on a digital newsstand.

The past decade has been tough for newspapers, but many newspaper execs are arguably more upbeat about the future than one might expect.
There may be a need for that optimism, but it might also be completely unfounded if new figures about newspaper revenue in 2011 are any indication.

For nearly 250 years, Encyclopaedia Britannica has been a household name. Once the encyclopedia of record, chances are your family had an Encyclopaedia Britannica set sitting on the bookshelf, or that you've picked up a heavy volume at school or the library.
Yesterday, however, Encyclopaedia Britannica announced that it's going all digital and will no longer be a print publisher.

Two ex-Hill & Knowlton executives have launched PRINT, a new measurement system that aims to show significant correlation between social media footprint and value & growth.
Similar to the likes of Klout, PeerIndex and Kred from PeopleBrowsr, the PRINT methodology measures five key attributes of social media 'performance': popularity, receptiveness, interaction, network reach and trust.

For journalists, the present day may seem like both the best of times and the worst of times.
Traditional news organizations, disrupted by the internet, are struggling, making it harder to turn journalism into profit.
But at the same time, change brought about by the internet is creating exciting new opportunities for journalism.

Online, 'linkbait', well done, is a proven source of traffic. Those catchy, often scandalous-sounding and sometimes deceptive headlines, coupled with juicy gossip, wild speculation or blood-boiling content may not necessarily deliver much in the way of value to advertisers, but for many publishers, it's a staple diet.
But what about print-based linkbait? Can some of the tried and true linkbait techniques work for, say, a magazine?

Magazines may not have the best track record when it comes to adopting the newest technologies, but when the iPad launched, it was hard to find a magazine chief who wasn't excited.
Print publishing is particularly tough these days, and the iPad represented hope. As a result, many magazine executives were eager to give the iPad a try. That was a good thing.
Unfortunately, businesses don't run on hope, and despite the fact that the iPad and tablet devices are still very nascent, magazines have thus far found that tablets aren't a panacea for their industry's ailments. Some are even cutting back on their iPad plans.

Ask many consumers why they've stopped purchasing dead tree publications like newspapers, and chances are you'll hear comments like "the cost is too high."
Ask those same consumers what they expect when it comes to the digital/tablet versions of their newspapers of choice, and you'll probably learn that they expect the cost to be lower. And for good reason: there's no paper and ink to buy; the marginal cost of selling an issue of a newspaper on an iPad is pretty close to $0.

Impressive advances in e-commerce websites — and consumer web proficiency — have changed the business of online shopping. But while retailers may have started to downplay the importance of catalogs a few years ago, there is still plenty of insight to be gained from those print products.
In fact, according to Coy Clement, who runs catalog and multichannel direct marketing consultancy clementDirect, online shoppers who read retail catalogs are often better at using e-tail websites than those that get there through search engines. A look at one of his client's website's — J.Crew — shows how retailers can take those lessons to heart.

If you were paying attention to the Canadian media this last week, you might have heard that war is about to break out in Canada, there's apparently going to be a battle that will divide our country. It's Tom Mulcair vs Alberta and Saskatchewan and from the gist of the commentary, it's also Mr. Mulcair versus the rest of Canada.
Stephen Harper, Alison Redford and Brad Wall, all Conservatives, felt obligated to respond to Tom Mulcair's recent Dutch disease remarks, referencing the tar sands boom, the Canadian Dollar and lost manufacturing jobs. To be fair, the Provincial Premieres Alison Redford and Brad Wall were actually quite diplomatic when they responded, it was the Harper Government that, once again, behaved badly. I'm frequently entertained by the Harper Government and its surrogates. They relish any opportunity to besmirch an opponent by injecting their negative-keyword-laced, talking points.
Have you noticed that the Harper Government loves to act tough? Now that they have a majority government they often behave like the playground bully. What does the Harper Government want to fight about this time? What's going to divide Canadians? Perhaps it's:
- tar sands' pollution and having Big Oil pay for the contamination that they're creating every day
- making sure that tar sands growth is sustainable.
Surely, there can't be any disagreement there? The vast majority of Canadians, whether from the East or the West, would agree that the polluter should pay and that development and growth of the tar sands must be sustainable.
Clearly, there isn't going to be a war. Talk of alienation and separation is just Harper Government, keyword, nonsense. The NDP prefers reasoned discussion and consensus. Do you remember 'discussion'? It's something we used to do before the Harper Government majority of 2011.
Topics for discussion:
- changes to environmental laws
- greenhouse gas emissions from tar sands oil extraction
- groundwater contamination
- pipeline safety
- supertankers loaded with crude oil plying the, often dangerous, waters off of the BC coastline, which by the way is another, even more precious, resource
- exporting raw resources to China and the USA
- manufacturing jobs
- foreign workers
- the green economy and why Canada is lagging behind the rest of the world in going green.
Let's start with something simple, why does the Harper Government revere oil and gas? Oil and gas reverence must have something to do with money, right? Is Big Oil where the Harper Government's political contributions come from? I'm serious, I'd love to know where this reverence comes from, I really don't get it. Wouldn't you agree that there's something smelly about this alliance between multinational oil corporations and the fuddy-duddy Harper Government?
I'd like to thank Mr. Mulcair for getting these fresh, hopeful, very important dialogues started. It was clever, of you to get things rolling so soon after becoming the NDP's new leader. Thank you.

You seem to frequently miss the point, the sales are not a disaster, disappointing for her yes but coming in to 1 on a half is not a 'disaster'

During a time of major economic downturn, there are few industries that can be said to be truly 'recession proof'. Yet for years now, big pharma has largely been seen as precisely that. After all, no matter dire the markets, and no matter how low consumer confidence plummets, there is always a demand for healthcare.

In areas such as competition policy and choice in the NHS, there could be said to be much correlation between the approaches of both governments past and present.

A selective memory is a wonderful thing. That is, if you're a conspiracy theorist or an opportunistic critic of any kind.

Since the moment of the NHS's very inception in 1948, complementary medicine has formed an accepted and often-used element of the country's national health service. Thousands of Brits swear blind by the efficacy of homeopathic treatments and rates of patient satisfaction are often far higher at the country's homeopathic hospitals than they are on standard NHS wards. Yet while many patients claim a strong appreciation of the benefits of homeopathy, the science tells another story.

Washington is famous for its lobbyists. Make no mistake, of all the industries currently making themselves heard on Capitol Hill, the healthcare lobby is one of the largest and the loudest. Indeed, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, the pharmaceutical industry had almost 1700 registered lobbyists in Washington as of late 2009. Unsurprisingly, then, the pharmaceutical industry has a considerable degree of pull on The Hill.

It's really something the way that some of you guys think. Oh yea, get rid of Pastner and bring in ????. It's a sad day when winning isn't good enough anymore, until this team actually loses a conf. game, be happy. That 4 yr run that we had at the end of Cal's tenure was historic. It had NEVER happened before, and probably won't again. No coach could have sustained that type of run, even in CUSA, we would have eventually lost, heck, during Cal's last year we should have lost at Tulsa.
CJP is a rising star in college basketball, he recruits at a high level, and he's learning every game. Is he there yet, NO, but because of his work ethic, and smarts, I would bet that he get's there. We have got to be realistic on who we are as a program, we are not a blueblood, and to think that we could get ANY coach that we want because "WE"RE MEMPHIS", you are living in a fantasy land. Chances are, we wouldn't get Brad Stevens, even Shaka Smart probably wouldn't come here. We are a very demanding fanbase, but to expect our team to smash every opponent by 20 points or more isn't realistic. Other teams do get up for us don't you know, since I didn't listen to coaches show yesterday, unless he said that USM was our superbowl, which in my opinion would have been a mistake to say, we are not at rock bottom, and anybody that thinks that is an idiot. If you want to know where I think we are as a team now, we are good, not great, on any given night, we could beat any team in the nation, but on any given night, we could also lose that game. We are in the same boat as a lot of teams, there are no great teams this year. Even might Cal's team of McDAA is struggling, as for me, give me a coach that can get players, you can be the greatest x and o's coach in the world, but without players, no one would know.
