So is the Sky Really Falling? (AP) Pres. Obama and his officials are doing their best to drum up public concern over the spending cuts that could strike the government in just days. So it's a good time to be alert for sky-is-falling hype. Over the last week or so, administration officials have come forward with a grim compendium of jobs to be lost, services to be denied or delayed, military defenses to be let down, etc. etc. . Obama's new chief of staff, Denis McDonough, spoke of a "devastating list of horribles." For most Americans, though, it's far from certain they will have a terrible, horrible, very bad day if the budget-shredder known as the sequester comes to pass. Maybe they will, if the impasse drags on for months. For now, there's a whiff of the familiar in all the foreboding, harking back to the mid-1990s partial government shutdown, when officials said old people would go hungry, illegal immigrants would have the run of the of the land and veterans would go without drugs. It didn't happen. For this episode, provisions are in place to preserve the most crucial services - and benefit checks. Furloughs of federal workers are at least a month away. Many government contractors would continue to be paid with money previously approved. Warnings of thousands of teacher layoffs, for example, are made with the presumption that local communities would not step in with their own dollars - perhaps from higher taxes - to keep teachers in the classrooms if federal money is not soon restored. Education Secretary Arne Duncan says teacher layoffs have already begun, but he has not backed up that claim and school administrators say no pink slips are expected before May, for the next school year. To be sure, the cuts are big and will have consequences. Knowing what they will be, though, is far from a precise exercise. And there is a lot of improbable precision in administration statements about what could happen: more than 373,000 seriously ill people losing mental health services, 600,000 low-income pregnant women and new mothers losing food aid and nutrition education, 1,200 fewer inspections of dangerous work sites, 125,000 poor households going without vouchers, and much more. "These numbers are just numbers thrown out into the thin air with no anchor, and I think they don't provoke the outrage or concern that the Obama administration seeks," said Paul Light, a New York University professor who specializes in the federal bureaucracy and budget. For all the dire warnings, he said, "It's not clear who gets hurt by this." The estimates in many cases come from a simple calculation: Divide the proscribed spending cut by a program's per-person spending to see how many beneficiaries may lose services or benefits under the sequester. But in practice, through all the layers of bureaucracy and the everyday smoke and mirrors of the federal budget, there is rarely a direct and measurable correlation between a federal dollar and its effect on the ground. That has meant a lot of tenuous "could happen" warnings by the administration, not so much "will happen" evidence. So it was in Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' letter to Congress laying out likely consequences for her agency's operations. She said the sequester "could" compromise the well-being of more than 373,000 people who "potentially" would not get needed mental health services, which in turn "could result" in more hospitalizations and homelessness. Duncan left himself less wiggle room. "This stuff is real," he said last week. "Schools are already starting to give teachers notices." Asked to provide backup, spokesman Daren Briscoe said it was based on "an unspecified call he was on with unnamed persons," and the secretary might not be comfortable sharing details. Briscoe referred queries about layoffs to the American Association of School Administrators. Noelle M. Ellerson, an assistant director of the organization, said Monday that in her many discussions with superintendents at the group's just-completed annual meeting, she heard of no layoffs of teachers. While everyone is bracing for that possibility down the road, she said, "not a single one I spoke with had already issued pink slips." Most school district budgets for the next school year won't be completed for two months, she said, meaning any layoff notices would come in early to mid-May. "No one had yet acted." School districts in areas set aside for tribal lands or military bases count on Washington, but beyond that nearly all money to run most of the nation's public schools comes from local sources such as property taxes that are not affected by the federal cuts. As for the assertion that 600,000 women could be dropped from the Women, Infants and Children Program, that's not to say the rolls would be cut by that number. The actual number is likely to include women who are not enrolled in the program now and could be denied when seeking to join it. Federal officials say the true number will depend on how states can manage their caseloads. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has warned of impending furloughs of air traffic controllers, who may need to take one day off every two weeks, and said air-travel delays are likely across the country. Asked Friday why the airline lobby predicted no major impact on air travel from the sequester, he said, "I don't think they have the information we're presenting to them today." "The idea that we're just doing this to create some kind of a horrific scare tactic is nonsense," LaHood said. But it's a pressure tactic nonetheless: "What I'm trying to do is to wake up members of the Congress on the Republican side to the idea that they need to come to the table." However the cuts fall, Light at NYU says the Washington Monument ploy, also known as the Firemen First principle, is at work. It goes like this: Put someone's budget at risk and the first thing you'll hear is a threat to close a cherished national symbol or lay off firefighters and police, when in fact there are other ways to cut spending. It so happens the Washington Monument is already closed, for earthquake repair. But Obama indulged in the Firemen First principle quite literally. He appeared at the White House to warn of the consequences of the sequester. "Emergency responders like the ones who are here today - their ability to help communities respond to and recover from disasters will be degraded." The law gives little flexibility to agencies to protect favored programs, except for big ones specifically exempted from the automatic cuts, such as Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and veterans benefits. FBI and Border Patrol furloughs are expected. Still, the White House has directed agencies to avoid cuts presenting "risks to life, safety or health" and to minimize harm to crucial services. In the partial government shutdown during his presidency, Bill Clinton and his officials told some tall tales and sketched dark scenarios that didn't come to pass, though some might have if the crisis had lasted weeks or months longer. The shutdown played out over two installments totaling 26 days from mid-November 1995 to early January 1996. National park properties closed (yes, even the Washington Monument), passport and federal mortgage insurance processing were disrupted and toxic waste cleanup stalled as hundreds of thousands of federal workers went idle, paid retroactively later. But states, communities and private groups stepped up to tide over the neediest, keeping Meals on Wheels rolling with their own resources, for example, until Clinton found emergency money to cover the costs. Warnings that Medicare treatment would be withheld proved unfounded, and veterans got their care. Contractors, who perform many key services for government, kept working for IOUs. A claim by the government that deportations "have virtually ended" was not so. The Justice Department told the story of a Florida gas station rejecting the government-issued credit card of a drug-enforcement agent to illustrate the indignity of it all.
But the reality was humdrum: The card had merely expired. |
Turns out politicians are people, too, only worse.
Just ask pros who make their living in the trenches of everyday human drama such as divorce, family feuds or schoolyard scraps. They recognize in Washington's bitter budget standoff a hint of human nature as they know it, but with the crazy pumped up to absurd levels.
"We're seeing middle school behavior here," says Barbara Coloroso, who crusades against childhood bullying.
Psychologist Piers Steel, an expert on procrastination, says Congress has the worst case of it he's seen.
Divorce attorney Sanford Ain's assessment is blunter: "It's nuts!"
A sampling of conflict-savvy professionals and scholars interviewed by The Associated Press finds dismay that the nation is in political stalemate after two years of showdowns and near-misses for the economy. Not that these they have any easy solutions, either.
Some dream of locking up President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner. R-Ohio, together until the nation's tax and spending issues are settled.
"That's my fantasy: To go into a room and tell them what to do, right or wrong, and make them do it," said Marvin McIntyre, a prominent financial adviser in the District of Columbia who writes political novels on the side.
With lawmakers and the president on the brink of yet another compromise-or-else deadline Friday, the nonpoliticians shared their take on the all-too-human behavior in Washington.
Historian Altina Waller is reminded of the Hatfields and McCoys.
Of course, she would be: Waller's an authority on the deadly 19th century feud.
Despite the myth, the Hatfield-McCoy conflict wasn't primarily about clan hatred, Waller said, and she doesn't think today's acrimony between Republicans and Democrats is fully explained by partisanship or ideology.
The Appalachian feud grew out of economic anxiety as farming declined and logging and coal moved in, she said. These days, Democrats and Republicans worry about the economy and the loss of American jobs and influence to foreign competition, and blame each other.
"Like the Hatfields and McCoys," Waller said, "they are personalizing a problem brought about by larger economic forces."
Coloroso, author of "The Bully, the Bullied and the Bystander," sees too many politicians acting like the mean girl who taunts unpopular classmates in the cafeteria.
"Bullying is about contempt for the other person," Coloroso said. "Do you see how that fits with some of the people in Congress? Utter contempt, bullying, wanting to bring somebody down. You cannot resolve a major issue like a budget with name-calling, with disdain for the person you're supposed to be working with."
Ain says the political fight illustrates something he's learned in 40 years of striving to keep family law cases amicable: "If you have extreme views and won't compromise, you can't get anything done. It's going to go to war."
Yet a sudden switch to civility will not guarantee that tough decisions get made.
Human brains are wired to put off the unpleasant, says "The Procrastination Equation" author Piers Steel.
We postpone starting a diet, put off going to the gym, keep meaning to write those thank-you notes. Congress members are masters of this.
"They're pretty much the worst, hands down, of any group we ever investigated," said Steel, who has researched procrastination for more than a decade. "They're worse than college students."
What finally gets people moving? A deadline. The paper must be written to pass the class. The house is tidied because company's coming. The expense report is finished because the boss demands it by 5 p.m.
So it makes sense to set deadlines for solving the nation's pressing fiscal problems. Only it isn't working.
Congress and the White House have lurched from the brink of default or government shutdown or "fiscal cliff" to the next potentially disastrous deadline, this time automatic budget cuts known as the "sequester." They've only achieved temporary fixes without resolving the big disagreements over the deficit, taxes and Medicare and Social Security spending. Obama calls it "drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next."
Why aren't the deadlines working?
Pushing the limits isn't always procrastination; sometimes it's strategy.
Negotiation expert Robert Mnookin points to labor disputes resolved just before the strike deadline and lawsuits settled on the courthouse steps on the eve of trial. Bargainers tend to play "chicken" like two drivers speeding toward each other in hopes the other will swerve first.
"It's often believed that you won't be able to extract the very best concession from the other side unless you are on the brink of something that's very bad," said Mnookin, chairman of Harvard's Program on Negotiation and author of "Bargaining with the Devil."
Both the Republicans and Democrats have die-hards pushing to keep charging ahead.
"It's a hugely dangerous game to play," Mnookin warns, "because people aren't always rational in their behavior."
What happens if Democrats and Republicans collide head-on this time? Some $85 billion in automatic federal budget cuts over the next seven months, with more in following years.
Obama says that would weaken the military, disrupt programs Americans rely on, eliminate jobs and weaken the economy. Boehner calls it "an ugly and dangerous way" to reduce spending. These cuts were designed to be so distasteful that politicians would agree on more rational budget-cutting to stop them.
But there's another way out. Lawmakers and Obama could agree to block the cuts, before or after they kick in, and once again postpone making big fiscal decisions that might cost some of them re-election.
That's a problem with artificial deadlines: They're hard to enforce.
Economist Christopher Kingston, whose research ranges from 19th century dueling to modern game theory, says what lawmakers need is a strong "commitment device." He cites the story of William the Conqueror burning his ships after his invading army landed in England, ensuring his soldiers couldn't retreat.
A less reliable commitment device: A shopaholic cutting up his credit cards. That works unless he gets new ones and start running up debt again.
"It's really hard to create a commitment device artificially, particularly if you don't have an external power that's going to enforce it," said Kingston, an associate professor at Amherst College.
Congress and the president have no judge, no referee, no board of directors. Washington won't hear from the voters again for two years, and even then the message may be unclear.
With human nature against them, how can politicians escape gridlock?
A few tips from the pros:
-Shock them with kindness. "Try to do something unexpectedly nice for the other side," advises Ain, and your surprised opponent may reciprocate.
-Avoid the "zero-sum" trap. Just because something is good for one side doesn't mean it's bad for the other. "There are all kinds of deals that the president and the Congress could make that would be better for the economy and the nation as a whole and in that sense would benefit them all," Mnookin says.
-Get a mediator. Maybe the special 2011 deficit committee could have reached agreement with the help of a trusted outsider. It's worth a try, Ain says, because "that works in major litigation and all sorts of situations."
-Shame the bullies. If politicians denounced their fellow party members who display contempt for the other side, Coloroso says, it would squelch the mocking tone.
America's citizens also are mostly silent bystanders right now, the author said.
"What are we going to do about it?" she asked. "Do we just stand by and shrug our shoulders?"

About 4.7 million Americans, more than 2 percent of the adult population, are barred from voting because of a felony conviction. Denying the vote to ex-offenders is antidemocratic, and undermines the nation's commitment to rehabilitating people who have paid their debt to society. Felon disenfranchisement laws also have a sizable racial impact: 13 percent of black men have had their votes taken away, seven times the national average. But even if it were acceptable as policy, denying felons the vote has been a disaster because of the chaotic and partisan way it has been carried out.
Thirty-five states prohibit at least some people from voting after they have been released from prison. The rules about which felonies are covered and when the right to vote is restored vary widely from state to state, and often defy logic. In four states, including New York, felons on parole cannot vote, but felons on probation can. In some states, felons must formally apply for restoration of their voting rights, which state officials can grant or deny on the most arbitrary of grounds.

Canonical Becomes First Associate Member of the Open Invention Network
Canonical's role in both the desktop and embedded environments the primary reasons behind selection.
Canonical became the inaugural entrant in the Open Invention Network's Associate Member program Tuesday. While the company that created Ubuntu Linux has been a Licensee for the OIN for sometime, the move to Associate Member is a logical one. The OIN's site describes an Associate Member as such:
"Associate Members are recruited from Linux-related companies, including those that are leaders in advancing Linux's migration into emerging growth markets. Associate Members make a commitment to the Linux Community by virtue of their commitments to and membership in OIN and help to ensure that patent issues do not impair Linux's growth."
What this means in terms of patent obligations and membership requirements is unclear. A problem NoSoftwarePatents founder Florian Mueller says is indicative of the OIN as a whole.
"The Canonical announcement once again shows the absolutely unacceptable degree of intransparency with which the Open Invention Network operates. Both the press release and the OIN's website fail to specify what exactly the rights and obligations of OIN Associate Members -- as compared to mere licensees -- are."
OIN CEO Keith Bergelt sees things differently. According to Bergelt, the OIN was founded out of community necessity by the founding companies.
"If it's not broadcast so that everybody is aware of everything we do, somehow there's this alternate agenda, which I think is unfortunate," Bergelt said.
The OIN uses patents to influence collaboration within the Linux community. Patents under the OIN are royalty-free to any company, as long as they agree not to leverage any of the patents against Linux. The six founding members of the OIN are IBM, NEC, Novell, Philips, Red Hat and Sony.
Bergelt said Canonical was selected for Associate Member status because of the company's positioning in both mobile Linux and the Linux desktop. Associate Members are subject to a financial commitment, which Bergelt described as being less than a founding member, but more than a Licensee, who can join the OIN for free.
"[Associate members] have a higher level of positioning within OIN and the ability to influence the direction of our acquisitions and heighten our awareness of critical applications and really the roadmaps for mobile Linux and the Linux desktop," Bergelt said.
Canonical could not be reached for comment.

Jan. 5, 2010 — In recent weeks, news outlets have been reporting a disturbing new trend in California. It seems the recession is altering the way we live in unexpected and troubling ways. It seems the economic recession is contributing to a kind of civic recession as well.
New research, released in California's 2009 Civic Health Index, showed more than 72 percent of Californians said they cut back on the time they spent volunteering, participating in groups and other civic activities.
Californians have joined a broad national trend by turning inward, cutting back on civic engagement and hunkering down. From individuals to nonprofits, donations of time and money have suffered.
Of California respondents, 61 percent said people in their community are responding to the current economic downturn by looking out for themselves, compared to only 18 percent who said people around them are responding to the recession by helping each other more.
Evaluating the degree of this "civic foreclosure" has been the task of the congressionally chartered National Conference on Citizenship. Their Civic Health Index report not only showed dramatic cutbacks in civic engagement but also declines in trust in public institutions.
Such "civic foreclosure" is doubly troubling because it carries with it not just the obvious public ramifications, but personal ones as well. Consider this: People who volunteer at a charity or nonprofit organization get a "twofer:" They help others while boosting their own health.
According to research by the Corporation for National and Community Service, volunteers as a group live longer and feel better physically and mentally than do non-volunteers. The review also suggests people who participate in volunteer activity at a younger age suffer from fewer health issues in their later years, and those older than 65 seem to gain a new lease on life by performing good deeds.
"Volunteerism seems to work primarily by enhancing life satisfaction and a sense of meaning and purpose," said Dr. Adam Rindfleisch, an integrative-medicine practitioner and assistant professor of family medicine at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. "It may also reduce chronic pain. I often suggest people with fibromyalgia and depression get involved in a volunteer activity."
Rindfleisch said while it's hard to determine scientifically if volunteering promotes better health, he has seen the benefits in his patients who do volunteer. He added it doesn't matter if volunteer work is performed at a hospital, school, animal shelter or soup kitchen: Participants are bound to experience positive results.
"It is not clear to me that any one type of volunteering makes a difference, although I believe those activities leading to the deepest connections with others are the most powerful," he said. "My sense is that it is like cardiovascular exercise: It isn't the specific form that matters, but rather that you do it in the first place."
In the new year, for your own health and the health of our communities, we encourage you to continue and, if you can, even expand, your civic and charitable efforts. We can come through this recession as healthy individuals and equally healthy communities. The choice is ours: to draw in or reach out.

Until last summer Cuban-Americans with with everything from flat screen televisions to bicycles were common at charter check-ins. The excess baggage fees helped the charter companies stay afloat. But the Cuban government increased import fees on such baggage, causing cargo revenue dry up. Many of the flights became unprofitable.
Cuba then terminated landing rights for Airline Brokers and another South Florida-based charter company, C&T Charters, because of delays in payments, according to industry sources.
But Mannerud said, "There were various and complicated issues. It's not something that happened overnight.''
Mannerud said she told Cuban officials that she didnt see a light at the end of the tunnel and I didnt see the business being profitable.
The cancellation also doesnt sit well with Carlos Saladrigas, a successful local businessman who was one of the pilgrims on the papal trip.
What the Cuban government did to her is very hard to understand, he said. I dont think the Cubans understand the importance of long-term business relationships.
Hes equally outspoken about the Airline Brokers fire, which evoked memories of the 1970s and1980s, when bombings of Miami businesses whose owners were perceived as pro-Castro were frequent.
I thought we had gotten over this phase of the Cuban exile community evidently not, said Saladrigas, co-chairman of the Cuban Study Group, an organization that hopes to encourage change and the development of a civil society in Cuba.
The Coral Gables Fire Department found the fire was caused by an incendiary device containing flammable accelerant.
When Mannerud moved her business into temporary quarters, Miami Archbishop Thomas Wenski blessed the space.
There was an outpouring of support from the community from the right, the left, competitors, people I havent heard from in years, she said. But there was one group I didnt hear from, elected officials.
Wenski questions why there wasnt outrage from politicians and other leaders. What was so disquieting was this reticence in the face of an act of terror.
Wenski first met Mannerud in 1996 when he was organizing a Caritas relief effort to Cuba after Hurricane Lili. Back then even the idea of sending relief to Cuba was controversial. When Mannerud walked in the room and offered to help, some people in the community raised their eyebrows and wondered Why is she here? he said.
Pérez said she doesnt have a problem with exiles visiting their relatives, but objects to Cuban economic refugees who werent politically persecuted coming to the United States, seeking asylum and then traveling back to Cuba like its nothing.
Sylvia G. Iriondo, whose organization works in support of women dissidents in Cuba, was among those opposed to the papal pilgrimage. She said the trip gave a false projection of normalcy in a country where nothing is normal where power is in the hands of an illegitimate communist regime.
Wenski said Manneruds work with the archdiocese during Benedicts visit was extraordinary.
Meanwhile, problems for Airline Brokers didnt stop with the fire. There was a cyber attack on the reservations system in August, said Mannerud.
A scam also developed involving an old Airline Brokers telephone number. Mannerud leaned about it when those who had been defrauded contacted her to get their money back. She called the FBI.
But the police said since I wasnt the victim that customers would need to file their own reports, she said.
Then in December the car of an employee was attacked with a nail gun in the parking lot adjoining her office.
It was a hard year, Mannerud said.
As in many only-in-Miami sagas, there are polarized opinions. Some think radical Cuban exiles must be behind the fire; others see the handiwork of Havana in the attacks. Still others think someone using the cover of exile politics for financial gain may be responsible.
Anyone not in Miami could not understand what this is all about, Wenski said.

The year is 1953. Now an apprentice sign painter, Gen has become a skilled artist, while his friends run a thriving dressmaking business. Gen falls in love for the first time, but fails to notice that a good friend has been caught in the clutches of drug addiction. Heartbreak and loss await Gen as the atomic bomb continues to wreak havoc on the lives of people in Hiroshima years after the fact. Yet these tragedies also inspire Gen to make the big move to Tokyo to pursue his career as an artist.
This second volume, The Day After, tells the story of the day after the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima as seen through the eyes of seven-year-old Gen Nakaoka. Gen, his mother, and his newborn sister face the horrors of the day after the bomb.
Nine days after the bomb, Gen and his mother continue to struggle for food, shelter and water amid chaos and vast human suffering. Though confronted with the most despicable aspects of humankind, Gen acts with love and compassion.
The story of life in Hiroshima after the atomic bomb continues! Gen fights against a corrupt medical system, the discriminatory practices of his neighbors, and the American presence in Postwar Japan. Gen's brother, Koji, has gone away to work in the coal mines but has since disappeared. To make up for the shortage, he and his friends must resort to more drastic measures - which lands one of the bunch in a juvenile detention center.
An impoverished but talented artist takes Gen under his wing and teaches him to paint. Inspired by the artist's assertion that art has no borders, Gen vows to become an artist himself, and takes a job as apprentice to a local poster painter.
Fujio and Mitsuo, two blue-collar factory workers, dream of training in martial arts overseas and becoming famous. When they accidentally kill their overbearing boss, they bury him at a man-made garbage mountain contaminated with industrial waste and which, naturally, transforms the bodies of the dead into ravenous, flesh-eating zombies! Fujio and Mitsuo try their best to survive, but the hapless pair become separated after an idiotic mistake involving potato chips and a stray dog.

Opponents of the Romney/Ryan budget plan took their complaints to the congressional mobile office hours of Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle (R-Onondaga Hill) on Syracuse's south side yesterday.They're worried about potential cuts in Social Security and Medicare.
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer will be one of the featured speakers Wednesday night at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina. The senior senator from New York says the 2012 election offers voters a clear choice.
Rep. Bill Owens (D-Plattsburgh) is making Medicare a big issue in his race with Republican Matt Doheny.Senior citizens vote at higher rates than the rest of the population. So they'll be key to the eventual winner of the North Country's 21st Congressional district. And issues important to seniors, like health care law and Medicare, will take front stage until November.
Owens' campaign has been ratcheting up the debate with Doheny on Medicare.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's choice of Paul Ryan as his running mate will impact New York's competitive House races. But whether the effect will be good or bad depends on who you talk to.
Democrat Dan Maffei is using the 47th anniversary of Medicare to emphasize his support for the program that provides medical care for older Americans.
If, like many Americans, you're worried about the future of Medicare, you'll want to listen closely to this conversation about the program and the contentious politics surrounding it. In a very information-rich interview, nationally recognized expert and University of North Carolina professor Jonathan Oberlander breaks down the elements of Medicare, the different proposals to change it, and explains why this huge—and popular—government program has become such a political lightning rod in recent years. He also prognosticates about different possible futures in terms of Medicare's structure

Middle Tennessee State University
Middle Tennessee State University
Goals & Outcomes
Early Teaching Experience
Induction & Mentoring
Course Reform
Publications & Talks
Ron Henderson, Chairman
Dept of Physics & Astronomy
Mari Weller
Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) is home to over 25,000 students in the geographic center of Tennessee, a state which has recently increased the number of science and math courses needed to graduate from high school. Responding to the challenge of preparing teachers to teach these courses, MTSU was recently named a replication site for UTeach, the national math and science teacher preparation program that began at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition, the president of the university has declared the goal of becoming the number one producer of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) secondary education teachers in both the state and the Southeast region.
The Physics and Astronomy Department is particularly well poised to make major gains in preparing teachers, having already put in place a requirement that all physics majors act as learning assistants (undergraduate teaching assistants), and having incorporated aspects of the Modeling Instruction Program into its curriculum. In addition, the department won a Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship grant that will provide $850K in scholarship funds for future math and science teachers. Site leaders have also initiated a marketing effort to attract more majors, and future teachers, to the department.
Goals and Outcomes
MTSU project leaders have set the goal of preparing 6 teachers per year by the end of the PhysTEC funding, with numbers growing for at least two more years before stabilizing near 10-12 physics teacher graduates per year.

radicalradical, in mathematics, symbol placed over a number or expression, called the radicand, to indicate a root of the radicand. When used without a sign or index number, it designates the positive square root of the radicand, i.e., 2. If both square roots are meant, the radical sign is preceded by ±. To indicate higher roots of the radicand, e.g., cube or fourth roots, an index number is used. The radical sign is generally taken to indicate the principal root of the radicand, although any radicand will have n different n th roots. The term radical is sometimes used loosely to refer to the entire expression consisting of radical sign and radicand. The Columbia Electronic Encyclopedia, 6th ed.

Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of medical care. To plan a successful treatment for a patient, a doctor must first determine the nature of the illness. In most branches of medicine, physicians can base their diagnoses on objective tests: a doctor can examine x-rays to see if a bone is broken, for example, or extract tissue samples to search for cancer cells. But for some common and serious psychiatric disorders, diagnoses are still based entirely on the patient's own report of symptoms and the doctor's observations of the patient's behavior. The human brain is so enormously complex that medical researchers have not yet been able to devise definitive tests to diagnose illnesses such as schizophrenia, autism, bipolar disorder or major depression.
Because psychiatrists must employ subjective evaluations, they face the challenge of reliability: how to ensure that two different doctors arrive at the same diagnosis for the same patient. To address this concern, the American Psychiatric Association in 1980 published the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Third Edition (widely known by the acronym "DSM-III"). Unlike earlier editions of the manual, DSM-III and its successor volumes (the latest one is referred to as DSM-IV-TR) describe what symptoms must be present--and for how long--to make a diagnosis of a particular brain disorder. Virtually all these criteria, however, are based on the patient's history and the clinical encounter. Without the ability to apply objective tests, physicians may fail to detect disorders and sometimes mistake the symptoms of one illness for another's. Making the task more difficult is the fact that some psychiatric illnesses, such as schizophrenia, may turn out to be clusters of diseases that have similar symptoms but require different treatments.

Last week, the New York Times' Michael Kimmelman reviewed a gallery exhibition of works by Ezra Stoller, an influential architectural photographer who died in 2004 at age 89. His images of landmark mid-century modernist buildings often became as iconic as the buildings themselves, Kimmelman writes:
If you chowed down on a taco at one of South Florida's most popular fast-casual chains before 2012, pat yourself on the back for a minute for contributing to historic preservation.
The Miami Herald's headquarters on Biscayne Bay has been sold to a developer who wants to tear it down. Historic preservationists are working to stop the demolition, saying the hulking, boxy building is a prime example of Miami Modern architecture from the 50's and 60's. NPR interviewed demolition proponents — including some prominent architects — who say it's a clumsy building with no sense of style and not a "MiMo" design worth saving:

Shares millions with his daughters
By Todd Northrop
North Carolina's newest jackpot winners are members of a Greenville, N.C. family who claimed today their half of the Sept. 30 Mega Millions jackpot worth $114 million.
Half of the jackpot, $57 million, goes to James Jones, a retired banker from Greenville. Jones chose the lump sum option rather than the annuity and will receive $42.2 million.
Jones will split the winnings with his two daughters, Allan Jones of Greenville and Kimberly Jones, a high school teacher from Buford, Georgia. After taxes Jones will take home $20 million, while his two daughters will receive $4.3 million each.
Twelve days ago Jones purchased the winning ticket at the Kangaroo Express on Greenville Boulevard.
The jackpot that night was actually $114 million, and a second winning ticket was sold in California. So far that half of the jackpot has not yet been claimed.
"For my family, it will mean the ability to finish the education of our grandchildren and their grandchildren" said James Jones. "For my daughters, it will certainly mean a less stressful financial life and the ability to follow their life ambitions. As for my wife and I, it will certainly not change much in our lives as we now live comfortably and have no needs or want for many more worldly things."
Jones said the family plans to invest and save the money for "future generations" and support worthy charities.
Jones bought five $2 Mega Millions tickets on the Friday afternoon before the drawing was held. He discovered he had matched all five white balls and the Mega ball on Saturday morning.
"Unbelievable," said Jones of the feeling when he discovered his good luck. "It was truly unbelievable. After I had checked enough to convince myself I really had won, it was exciting. And a little bit scary."
The Kangaroo Express has received a $50,000 incentive award for selling the winning ticket.
North Carolina has been lucky in winning jackpots in the nation's two multistate jackpot games — Mega Millions and Powerball. Five jackpots have been won in North Carolina since the N.C. Education Lottery began five years ago. The Jones family's jackpot win was the second in the Mega Millions game since it began here on Jan. 31, 2010. Mike Manheim, a retired businessman from Greensboro, won a $12 million Mega Millions jackpot on May 28, 2010.
The three Powerball jackpot winners were Jackie Alston of Halifax who won $74.5 million in November 2006; Jeff Wilson of Kings Mountain who won $88.1 million in June 2009; and Frank Griffin of Asheville who won $141.4 million in February 2010.

The one wish for all who play the lottery is to hit. Congrats man, let this money bring endless joy to your family.
Alright, my turn.
Way to share with the kids. Congrats.-weshar75
Pretty much sums it up I guess - I would never voluntarily attend a press conference or have be photographed but this statement sounds like it comes from a very stable couple who really don't need the money. Hopefully they will invest wisely and continue to have a very nice life.
Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping
Congrats ! .................... and for tonite ......................... best wishes to all, but most wishes to Pennsylvania ............... the store that I purchase my tickets, specifically!
Congrats to the entire Jones clan!
Good luck dpoly1 - bought my PB tickets this afternoon
So if you hear about a winner from Central Jersey ....... fingers crossed ...... it could be me!!!
Good luck tonight
Good luck to both of you but uh Delaware's going to win tonight
Hey Cow - Good luck to ya!!
Wish I could claim my winnings in DEL since they have option to remain anonymous - works perfectly for me.
On second thought, at this point, just wish I could claim jackpot anywhere as long as I have winning numbers
MILLIONS won by a retired banker, I love it!
I hope all the filthy dirtbags protesting on Wall Street hear about this and it drives them insane! LMAO!

So he bought a 5 dollar quick pick with multiplier?
Congratulations !!!
Congrats to the winner and his family! Love the attitude. Best of luck!

York Barbell Club T-Shirt
These are just like the classic York Barbell Club burgundy T-shirts that you see in the classic photos from the 30s-70s. Very retro cool. You will love it.
Dec. 9, 2013: Heading into the Christmas Holiday, we are now out of the XL size shirts, but we do have Large (L) and Medium (M). Please note that we have 3XL, but they are a WHITE shirt with Burgundy-ish Ink. I am adding the M and 3XL sizes to the drop down menu, but realize that the 3XL does not match the photograph.

According to the latest global graphics card market share seen by Taiwanese tech industry observer DigiTimes, Palit Microsystems and PC Partner have each surpassed ASUSTek. The two relegated ASUS to the position of third biggest graphics card vendor by volume. ASUS is a vendor-neutral graphics card vendor, selling both NVIDIA GeForce and AMD Radeon graphics cards; while Palit beat it with a predominantly GeForce-based product stack. Although Palit Microsystems is vendor-neutral on paper, it virtually stopped making AMD Radeon-based products. Palit Microsystems runs two major brands, Palit, and Gainward, which target different global markets, and are seldom found in the same market. PC Partner, on the other hand, runs Sapphire, which focuses on AMD Radeon products, and ZOTAC, focusing on NVIDIA GeForce. Both Palit Microsystems and PC Partners also contract-manufacture graphics cards for other companies. With the surge of Palit Microsystems and PC Partner, ASUSTek is pushed down to the third place in global market-share, followed by MSI and GIGABYTE. Source: DigiTimes
Interesting. I had a Palit 7900 GS back in the day. Actually I still have it, Its in storage but it still works!! Not surprised Asus is losing market share with the DCUII coolers(3 slots) but I wouldn't have picked Palit to surpass them. Sapphire is not too surprising but I would have picked MSI or even gigabyte before Palit.
Gainward GS and GLH cards are high binned chips. Damned good cards if you ask me, got more overclock than the gigabyte 570
There are lots of Palit and Gainward where I live and they usually have the best prices around (Asus being one of the most expensive - wonder why they're on the third position?)
PC Partner/Sapphire have never let me down in the 8 years i've used them and their prices are always better than Asus's
If Palit and PC Partners are under the same holding (to make this claim) how can they be considered vendor-neutral, are they not taking Sapphire volume into account? Interestingly PC Partner doesn't list the Sapphire Brand? I suppose PC Partners is just Sapphires' contract manufacture (a factory facility) and they don't own/run Sapphire, and why they can't claim them as a "Brand". http://www.pcpartner.com/En/index.php?m=Brands While I swear Sapphire and some other are related somebody like VisionTek or Diamond? Because I remember recently seeing a Sapphire cooler and shroud on another AIB that look identical, but I can't find an example today.
I am having Palit Cards right now. There are cheap and working. Yes, Asus have some unique attributes, but they price them accrodingly and my needs don't go that far usually.
Same where I live. Most if not all the low-end cards for sale on local stores are Sapphire or Palit and most of the sales are on low-end cards. If you ever see an MSI/Asus low-end card here, they'd be more expensive.
Asus is usually way more expensive, but has good components and is usually the quieter one. So maybe brand doesn't matter after all? I mean look at Apple Vs Samsung
Ok, I found my mistake... But still not sure how this is on the up-and-up? So these two separate companies (Palit and PC Partners) have bumped Asus to 3rd in graphics card vendors by volume! That boggles my mind... At least for someone here in the States; Palit/Gainward/Zotac (together) I'd consider a pittance in sales (USA) against Asus, heck even Sapphire. That said, I might see Palit/Gainward as big in global markets, but to have the ability route Asus with just the two brands of Nvidia offerings! That's not being denigrate to Nvidia at all, it's just Asus offer both chip vendors and I'd imagine huge name recognition in Asia/Southeast/Australia ? Then just Zotac, Inno3D, and Manli vs. Asus... they undoubtedly are counting Sapphire in there.
Of course sapphire numbers counted for pcpartner , both sapphire and zotac are subsidiary of pcpartner .palit and sapphire has strong presence at asia/europe btw Palit had problem with AMD/ATI when it launched DDR5 4850 back in the day ,since than it is Nvidia only ,i guess AMD punished palit for that unapproved card
Asus = Expensive In my location GTX 670 price: Asus = USD$451 (add $76 can buy GTX 680) Other Brand = USD$358 (some 330) Diff = $93 It's only matter of time before Asus wake up n boom we need to drop d price.
Asus is really expensive and I agree, in our location it really is damn expensive! But they make really good hardware as well... I was using Palit Jetstream 660Ti but downgraded to Asus GTX 660 TOP for the main reason that I like the metal (or hard plastic??) bracket on the Asus card that prevents it from bending. Sadly, I have to downgrade since my budget won't allow me to go still for a 660Ti...
in Indonesia 670 asus is 460$ while zotac 680 is only 510$ in here so its save to say that asus is very expensive here
First time Palit owner and couldn't be happier. Was the cheapest card but damn it overclocks like a beast.
Wut? I really don't understand why you are all so happy with Palit. I'm not sure about the present, but in not so distant past a friend of mine replaced three Palit cards, because they all had blown up (I don't know the true reason of failures -the GPUs just needed to be replaced, as repair was deemed unfeasible). Nah, he didn't try to OC them, 'cause he doesn't know how to do that.
Cheap and reliable. No frills and no nonsense card. I had a Palit 480 died on me once (due to my own mishandling), got a replacement within just a week. Made me think, why do I need to pay more if I get the same kind of service from something that is cheaper. Had 2x GTX260, GTX480, GTX580 and GTX680.. all of them were Palit.. had nothing but good experience with it. Asus lays on frivolous amounts of features that no one needs.. (fancy packaging, fancy branding laced with "extreme gaming vocabulary" prefix and suffix) and asks a fee for it. Heck even the vanilla stock cards are more expensive vs Palit's stock cards.

"Discover The Secrets Of My SimpleSimple 30 Minute A Day Method Newbies Everywhere Are Using To Rake In Their First Affiliate Checks Online In A Matter Of Days!"
What ARE the Secrets Behind the Notorious"BUM Marketing Method" That Are Allowing 'Average Joe Newbies' to Make a Daily $100 - $200 Doing No More Than 30 Minutes Work A Day?!
Dear Newbie Internet Marketer,
If you've ever wondered "How can I start making money on the Internet right away?", glue your eyes to this page because what I'm going to tell you will have you more excited about making money on the internet than anything you've ever seen before!
If I said I knew how you could make $100 - $200 or more a day while literally sitting on your bum for a few minutes, would you be interested in learning more? Of course you would....
Even if you.....
Listen up....
- there is a way you can start making great cash in a very short time!
The way is a simple method called the BUM Marketing method.
Why is it called BUM? I'm not exactly sure, but the man who coined the name of this method, Travis Sago, says that it's so EASY to make money doing it, even a BUM can make money.
I agree with him 100%!
The truth is, anyone can make money with Bum Marketing if they are willing to put a little time and effort into it. And it only has to be a little effort, we are NOT talking about 40 hours each week here. We're talking a totally leisurely system that will let you make money in your spare time!
Why BUM? Because that's what you sit on when you are making the money! And, that's why Bum Marketing is such a great concept – you can work for very short time periods and still earn big money!
That's right and even if you know nothing about Bum Marketing or Internet marketing in general, you can still make more money with this technique than many of the so-called"marketing gurus" are.
This is why I am such a huge fan of Bum Marketing and why I have gotten everyone I know onto it and making money with it.
So, what is Bum Marketing all about?
The Bum Marketing method works in four quick steps:
It's the perfect Newbie Affiliate Marketing approach because it's EASY, it DOESN'Ttake you all day and it DOESN'T cost you a single penny on advertising! It let's you do it ALL for FREE!
The best part of BUM marketing of all is, you DON'T have to be a great writer to write profitable articles.
You probably find it hard to believe, but with a little help (advice from inside a certain new ebook 'wink, wink'), you'll be able to write money-generating articles in no time at all –even if you hate to write and flunked High School English!
As a metter of fact, being a great writer is actually a hinderance when it comes to being a successful Bum Marketer.
Here's why.....
People are looking for information written on their level. If you think about it, the majority of the world's population are like you and I. Average people. They don't have PHD's and they don't understand all those hard words found on long boring web sites.
They don't want to stop and have to try to figure out big words or read something two or three times before they understand it.
They want to read articles that are written at a basic, easy-to-understand level. They want to read articles that are written the way they talk. You can write the way you talk can't you? Sure you can! That's why Bum Marketing can be so PROFITABLE for ANY newbie!
(and this could be the difference between success and failure)
To make money with Bum Marketing, you can't just start writing any articles and posting them anywhere and hope for the best. Many people have already tried to jump on the "make money" bandwagon with this and have not seen the results others have.
You need to hear from somebody who knows the ropes and can show you how to.....
- Avoid the costly mistakes others so often make...
In short, you must own a copy of my new ebook!
Here's just a sample of what you will discover inside this 'filled to the brim' "Newbie Affiliate Secrets" info guide:
How to SUCCEED beyond your wildest dreams in bum marketing in five easysteps – You'll be surprised at how easy it is to do when you follow these tips!
The secret to writing great articlesFAST – (I'm talking lightning fast! 10-15 minutes per article at most) – What you will see here is sure to surprise you!The TWO SECRETS everyone has to know before they can succeed as a bum marketer – Know these two things and you'll be making BIG money with bum marketing in no time!Where to get FREE insider information on bum marketing – These secrets are sure to send your profits skyrocketing!

Is This BUM Marketing Method Going to Cost Me An Arm and a Leg? ...Like Buying PPC Ads?!
Have you read this web page or not? It's called Bum Marketing because even the poorest of poor bums can get into it and start making money from scratch! No you don't need to pay for PPC advertising. You don't have to pay for ANY advertising at all!
BUM Marketing is designed to allow anyone to make money for FREE - by using 100%FREE resources and FREE methods of traffic generation. This is a complete guide to get you started making affiliate commissions without spending anything - step-by-step!
Other reports have hidden agendas to set you up to sell you a more expensive "course" or tell you their "method" works only with Adwords. You and I both know that a newbie and Adwords is not a good match. That's a recipe for disaster. What I'm revealing is a recipe for Newbie success!
When you order Newbie Affiliate Secrets, you can rest assured that everything I share with you in this ebook is more than enough to start making easy affiliate checks. This means that you won't need to fork out one more cent to get Bum Marketing working for you.
