How can you measure the efficiency of the QA team? What KPIs would you set up?
KPIs can be dangerous - it's very easy to measure the wrong thing or worse, reward the wrong thing. The general rule is that people will do more of the things that get rewarded. Some of the things you should consider:
I hope this list helps you decide what you need to do. |
The best KPI's for testing are ones that you wouldn't expect.
These co-incidenty are 'whole of team' KPI's which testing plays a key part of. |
The simplest KPI would be that quickly after the team gets a release, the rate defects are found is high but then quickly tapers off as they find fewer and fewer. However, you will get what you measure, and games can be easily be played with these sorts of measures - i.e the team can work very hard for the first two days and then slack off completely and hey presto it looks like you're ready for release as they're just not finding bugs. There are of course other KPIs that could be used, such as the proportion of defects found before/after release - but that of course is a very slow lagged measure. KPIs are a great idea, but in real life, things are not as simple as a KPI unfortunately. |
For QA, the best two KPIs I can think of are:
As well, estimation variance of time required to perform testing activity can be used. Just remember - KPIs are indicators, not end-states. They indicate where you have strong and weak points and should be used to call your attention or as monitors against a baseline. They are not themselves a goal or a solution...but they do help you discover goals and solutions. T |

Approximately 20,000 to 30,000 tonnes of southern blue whiting is caught each year and it is an important catch for the middle depths trawl fleet.
Vessels target southern blue whiting in late winter to early spring, when the fish group together, or aggregate to spawn. There are four distinct spawning areas in New Zealand's sub-Antarctic waters: the Auckland Islands, the Bounty Islands, Campbell Island and the Pukaki Rise. Each is managed as a separate stock.
Southern blue whiting are fast growing and typically spawn for the first time when they are three to four years old. Varying numbers of young southern blue whiting join the spawning aggregations each year. Stock size can change quickly if a large number of young fish reach adulthood in the same year.
To manage the southern blue whiting fishery well biological data from the fishery, and acoustic surveys to measure stock size, are important. This information is used to determine how much fish can be caught without threatening the sustainability of each of the stocks.
A large portion of the southern blue whiting caught over the last decade has come from the Campbell Island stock. This has been the largest southern blue whiting stock, mainly because of very successful spawning in 1991 and above average success in 2001, 2002 and 2004. The size of the Campbell Island population is close to the target level and is expected to be maintained at this level over the next few years.
In 2008 an acoustic survey was conducted for the Bounty Islands stock. Echo sounders, used to determine how much southern blue whiting there is in the area, found that the population size had increased markedly from previous surveys. This is thanks to a very successful spawning in 2002.
Southern blue whiting around the Auckland Islands and on the Pukaki Rise fisheries are lightly fished and catch has not exceeded 20 percent of the total allowable catch of either of these fisheries in recent years.
The large increase in the amount of fish around the Bounty Islands has resulted in an increase in TAC. Further acoustic surveys will be undertaken to better determine the amount of southern blue whiting present in the stock.
The number of New Zealand sea lions captured in the southern blue whiting fisheries has increased in recent years with six recorded captures in the 2007/08 fishing year. Commercial fishers have adopted a voluntary code of practice to help avoid sea lion captures. Captures of marine mammals in general will also continue to be monitored.
A fishery plan for southern blue whiting is being developed and will help with future management decisions. The Bounty Islands acoustic survey was performed by a commercial fishing vessel rather than a dedicated research vessel. Using vessels that are involved directly in the southern blue whiting fisheries means significant savings in cost and resources.

Tote 4 |
One Planet has teamed up with renowned Melbourne fabric designer Nicola Cerini to produce a range of shoulder bags that use stunning fabrics to add a touch of elegance to our functional, stylish designs. The prints are designed by Nicola Cerini and are woven in small lots exclusively for use on our bags. (Nicola's web site can be visited at www.nicolacerini.com) The main external fabric is made from cotton remnants from the cutting tables of clothing factories which is reclaimed, spun and woven into a 15 ounce, hard-wearing canvas: recycling in action! The light-coloured canvas lining reflects light down into the bag, making it easier to find your missing bits and pieces. These canvas fabrics are the same durable, easy-care materials used on our main range and, as with the bags themselves, are made in Australia. The Tote 4 is a different shape to the Flips; its layout is more vertical and we've dispensed with the flap. However, this small bag still has an adjustable strap, magnetic fastener and padded base, while the zipped pocket, phone and business card pockets and key clasp keep the dreaded 'bag rummage' to a minimum. The gorgeous fabrics add flair to this elegant, functional design. Dimensions (approximate): 260 x 230 x 75 millimetres. Made in Australia.

12 Inch Bully Sticks - Made in the USA
Submit a review
Customer Reviews:
She just loves these!
My 1 year old border collie mix loves her bully sticks (we call them pizzles). A 12" stick lasts her about an hour - and I keep them frozen in hopes that they will take longer to chew! She loves them and I love the "free time" I get when she's working away at one! I only gave them 4 stars because I wish they weren't so expensive and I wish they took longer to eat!!
It's her favorite treat!
I have a 1-year-old Plott Hound/Boxer mix who loves to chew, and these fit the bill. They are a decent size - did not have any super-skinny sticks in the pack. It takes about a half-hour for her to get through one - if it took at least an hour I'd give it 5 stars. It's still very enjoyable for her.
These seem of very good quality compared to the bully sticks I used to buy locally. The thickness is not consistent through the whole 12" (I don't mind), but if you plan on cutting them in half your dogs may not think it's fair when the other gets the thicker piece. Great that there's a made in the US option, but honestly, I wouldn't have bought them if they weren't on sale.
Bully sticks help us keep our sanity
Bully sticks keep my dog sane when we can't get out for a run. My dog is impossible to live with if I can't get her out for at least an hour of off leash running every day. There are just some days when you can't do it, though. On those days, bully sticks keep her from completely exploding with excess energy. And I feel good giving her something that is healthy. My husband orders in bulk when I have to be away on business.

Sampson County Schools will be seeking just over $3 million in capital outlay money from commissioners for the 2013-14 school year, with the funds designated for such things as roofing needs, increased school safety and general maintenance items, that everything from repaving to enclosing a multi-purpose room.
Although it may seem early to be thinking of the next fiscal budget, for Sampson County's Board of Education it is not. So during its regular meeting Monday night, superintendent, Dr. Ethan Lenker presented the 2013-14 capital outlay requests to board members who, in turn, gave the green light to move the request on to commissioners.
In his presentation, Lenker said that in order for the commissioners to have adequate time to consider their request prior to budget talks, it was important for the board's requests to be sent in a timely manner.
The superintendent explained that there were three areas that the board had discussed at their retreat and he presented each area for their consideration.
The first area was general capital outlay, which includes items for individual schools, such as enclosing a multi-purpose area for the fourth and fifth grade at Clement Elementary; drainage catch basins; additional exterior lighting and re-paving of the staff parking lot at Hargrove; additional lighting and playground fencing at Hobbton Elementary; additional restroom for the seventh grade at Hobbton Middle and HVAC replacement; HVAC replacement and construction of restroom/locker room facility at Hobbton High; replacement of media floor covering and paving student parking lot at Lakewood; additional fencing for playground at Midway Elementary; installing baseball/softball bleachers, additional fencing, soccer field grading, digital marque, additional athletic field paving, risers for band room at Midway High; additional bus rider canopy and upgrade of playground equipment at Plain View.
At Roseboro Elementary projects requested for funding included a shelter for playground, water fountains for playground and paving for new basketball court; replace computer lab's floor coverings at Roseboro-Salemburg Middle; an additional storage building at Salemburg. For Union Elementary, upgrade playground equipment area, upgrade fire panel equipment, HVAC replacements; Union Middle needs included HVAC replacements and home side athletic bleachers. Improvements for the district include mobile classrooms and associated cost, replacement of two vehicles, fire alarm systems upgrades, replacement blinds and furniture, asbestos removal and HVAC replacements.
The total cost of this portion of the capital outlay request is $1,181,500.
Lenker said in the light of recent developments dealing with school security, a need to address safety in the county schools was included in the second area for capital outlay security.
Controlled door access and security camera upgrades were the major areas where funding was requested. Lenker shared that for the district security system replacements and an additional 12 school resource officers would be requested.
The costs for capital outlay security totaled $1,575,100.
The final proposed capital outlay funding request was for roofing. Two estimates were given as Lenker shared that Anthony Vann, executive director of Plant Operations, had been able to secure two prices for roofing the Roseboro-Salemburg Middle and Union Intermediate gyms. Hobbton High's gym area could not utilize the overlay process that was available for the other two schools so the cost for roofing the Hobbton gym was $161,000. The cost for Roseboro gym would be $141,750 but at the reduced price the cost would only be $43,000. The same holds true for the Union Intermediate gym, with the original price for the roof at $149,500; the reduced price would be $45,000. The board chose to go with the request for the lower two estimates and the total for the roofing capital outlay was $249,000.
The board accepted the proposed capital outlay requests which will now be forwarded to the county commissioners for their consideration.

The girls' hockey team fell to Latin Academy 4-2 in their first round of postseason play Monday afternoon, eliminating the team from the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association tournament.
The game was played in Boston.
Three Vineyard teams now remain in the tournament. All will play at home beginning Wednesday when the boys' basketball team takes on Bourne at 5:15 p.m. in the Sancy Pachico Gymnasium at the regional high school.
On Thursday the girls' basketball team will play the winner of the Fairhaven-Apponequet game at home at 5:15 p.m. Boys' hockey will face off against Dedham at 3:30 p.m. at the Martha's Vineyard Arena.
Postseason seedings were announced over the weekend.
Boys' hockey has a 15-4-1 record, the Vineyard's best in head coach Matt Mincone's 24-year tenure with the team. The boys earned the number two seed in their bracket (South Division 2). Dedham is a number 15 seed.
Girls' basketball similarly bounces into the postseason with the team's best record in their coach's tenure: 16-4. Lisa Stewart has coached the team for seven years. The team earned a number three seed in the South Division 3 bracket and received a bye in the preliminary round.
With a record of 15-4, the boys' basketball team is seeded seventh in the South Division 3 bracket. Bourne is seeded 10th in their bracket.
In the Monday girls' hockey game against Latin Academy, the Vineyard jumped on the board first with a second-period power play goal by junior Callie Jackson (assisted by sophomore Sydney Davies), but Latin responded immediately after. A breakaway shorthanded goal by sophomore Aubrey Ashmun later in the period put the Vineyard ahead again. Latin pulled away in the third, scoring their last goal on an empty net with two seconds left in the game.
The Vineyard girls finish their season with a 10-8-3 record.

Comment on Thermae Romae Mangaka "Got $10,000 of $62,000,000″ by KingFisher:
It's a sad story that movie studios scam the original creators with this kind of stuff, but I agree with the majority of opinion, it's her own fault for not negotiating for a percentage of the gross profit of the movie.
Recent comments by KingFisher:
- Loli Ban "Facing Rejection":
Ken Akamatsu another hero.
- Police Hunt Man for Following JC 10m:
I have to agree, she shouldn't have been out so late alone. She should have had somebody accompany her. I mean was the area well known for stalkers, etc? Seriously. If the area is known for violence, etc, stay away from the area. Or go home earlier. If the guy actually fled from the scene he was up to no good. But I do think its an over reaction. I mean 10 meters isn't very far is it? I can understand if it was like for a mile or two (not sure what that is in metric), still these reports are …
- AKB48 Rage at Rino: "If She Can Win, What's The Point!?":
I just thought of something awesome. AKB48 fans need to be trolled big time. For instance maybe a male dresses up as a girl and joins AKB48 aka the premise of the manga AKB49? That would troll all those creepy idol otaku ROFL, and give them what they deserve.
- AKB48 Rage at Rino: "If She Can Win, What's The Point!?":
Its funny if you think about it. Back in the day (60′s when it first formed), AKB48 was one of the first idol groups to take music, acting, modeling, etc and make them all meet together and have the idol do all of these. It was orthodox to usually have a talent specialize in a more narrow area. A lot of idol agencies began to copy this formula by the 80s and it became standard to what we see today a few years later. In my opinion ABK48′s formula for multi-talent idols was never a good idea …
- Square Enix's Fall "Because of Bad Feng Shui":
I'm concerned about Kingdom Hearts 3 and FFXV now. Not only that Square Enix has lost Nobuo Uematsu, Wada, with his incompetence, has moved the company in a bad business area. If the state of business keeps up KH3 and FFXV maybe their last projects or even projects that get trashed in the end due to bankruptcy.

Dreaming big for more than a century.
Wayland began in 1908 as the dream of pioneers who respected the life-altering value of education. Now the oldest university in continuous existence on the High Plains of Texas, Wayland Baptist reaffirms that commitment every day through a distinctive combination of offerings.
Wayland Baptist University exists to educate students in an academically challenging,
learning-focused and distinctively Christian environment for professional success and service to God and humankind.
Main campus in Plainview, a community of 25,000 on the high plains of West Texas between Lubbock and Amarillo.
More than 1,000 students on the main campus in Plainview, TX, plus 5,800 students on campuses in Amarillo, Lubbock, San Antonio, and Wichita Falls, Texas; Anchorage and Fairbanks, Alaska: Sierra Vista and Phoenix, Arizona; Mililani, Hawaii; Albuquerque and Clovis, New Mexico; Altus, Oklahoma; and Kenya, Africa.
Student/Faculty Ratio
15:1 on the main campus in Plainview; 17:1 on the other campuses.
Average Class Size
16 students
Student government, honor societies, academic clubs, special interest and Christian service organizations, music and drama groups, and social fraternities and sororities.
Intercollegiate teams (NAIA Division I) for men and women in basketball, indoor and outdoor track and field, cross country, coed cheerleading, men's baseball, men's golf, women's soccer, and women's volleyball. Extensive intramural programs for men and women also are available.
Financial Aid
Because of the contributions of so many who believe in Wayland and its unique approach to Christian education, the cost of an education at Wayland is among the lowest of any fully accredited, private, senior university in the country. Still, the aggressive approach of Wayland's financial aid office has resulted in financial assistance for over 95 percent of our full-time students. Through institutional, state, and federal programs, Wayland makes available both merit-based and need-based assistance.
Wayland Baptist University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges Commission on Colleges to award degrees at the associate, baccalaureate, and master's levels. Contact the Commission on Colleges at 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, Georgia 30033-4097 or call 404-697-4500 for questions about the status of Wayland Baptist University.

May is Melanoma Awareness Month! Check out more information in this thread : http://www.etiquettehell.com/smf/index.php?topic=77387

My 9 year old told me this year that he "knows the secret". I asked what he meant and he told me the big secret, that he knows the truth. We talked about it and I confirmed for him but then we had to have a discussion on the importance of not ruining the secret for others. I have been so proud of him. He has not said anything to his younger sister and he hasn't said anything to his friends other than when prompted. Hearing the words "I know your secret" makes your mind race through all your secrets real quick. I was glad that was the secret he knew

Removable Wallpaper and Walls Murals for your College Dorm 4
Hi all!
Well, it is back to school time and Customized Walls has been printing our removable wallpaper for tons of dorm rooms. Removable wallpaper is becoming a hot new trend as you can put it up in about and hour and it literally comes down in minutes with no damage to the walls. What a great way to make a statement in a place you are not going to be living very long term.
So, I thought I would show you some of the wallpaper and wall murals that are popular prints for Customized Walls.
For Girl's dorm rooms:
This Zebra wall mural is trendy and hip. Its for your wild girl who likes a bit of drama. We can print those black stripes any color that you like.
Some cool combinations I have seen are hot pink and yellow, teal and brown, and bright apple green and white. Perfect for dorm room decor and bit on the wild side.

It's easy to show how you get ur good on with a video! All you need to do is create an account at GETURGOODON.org, put together a video about what you are doing, and upload it!
Upload videos of your service project for Global Youth Service Day, a recent volunteer activity you participated in, information for people to get involved with your favorite organization, or your idea on how to fix a global issue like clean water or poverty. The possibilities for Get Ur Good On videos are endless.
Not a movie pro? Think again. There are a lot of easy ways to make a movie out of your photos. You can even take videos with your cellphone and send them to a special email address. Check out the bottom of your Settings / Profile Edit page, but watch out -- you'll be charged whatever your cell phone provider charges for sending video messages (but you won't be charged by GETURGOODON).
Fancy effects and edits are great and all, but it's what's in the video that really matters.

The world is full of idiots. The bears have a large fan base so we absorb a lot of idiots.
The world is full of idiots. The bears have a large fan base so we absorb a lot of idiots.
While it is rather hilarious that the Pukers have the ugliest cheerleaders in the known Universe, harassing the poor girl about it is rather pathetic.
I honestly didn't even know the Packers had cheerleaders on their sidelines... the bikini girls at Lambeau always seemed to get the camera's attention
None of my posts on this forum have been aided by the use of deer-antler spray...
I live in Texas, and have to deal with Cowboys fans in abundance. The only thing they know how to do is yell "How 'bout them Cowboys!" in your face. Which could be a good thing or bad, depending on how you look at it. I've never seen anything I'd consider over the line, which is good. But at the same time, the level of blind faith and ignorance of the game and even their own team that the common Cowboys fan displays can be mind numbing.
Living where I live, I have no experience with the common Bears fan, aside from what I see online, or hear from listener calls on The Score, which admittedly can be pretty bad. None of the Bears fans I've met in my area have been hardcore meatballs.
What part of state? I saw them in Dallas in 2010(sideline passes, ftw) and the fans were awesome. Somehow saw a few packer fans nearby. Also worked with a lot @ ft. Hood. Maybe it's just those who live in areas that have more than football don't take stuff so personally about the game. Basically, meat head fans probably dont get out much, unless they're wearing their favoriylte jersey or tailgate.
While I'd love to be completely PC, I tend to see things a bit more like Trackguy than the anti-bully police.
Someone pointed out something to me the other day, you never hear the old adage "sticks and stones". I tested it and said it around my kids......who had never heard it. At that point, I felt like a bit of a failure as a parent.
Everyone is something (too tall, too short, too fat, too skinny, blonde, brunette, redhead, etc). Your greatest weakness, when viewed from a different perspective, may well be your greatest strength.
Sack up and move on.
Winston Churchill:
"Since light travels faster than sound, some people appear bright until you hear them speak."
"If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain."
Still not sure what the uproar of those asshole fans are about. She's certainly not as ugly or undesirable as they made it sound. Makes me wonder if they've ever seen the self-appointed "honeybear".
America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." - Claire Wolfe
"Possibly, but it's not to early to start loading ammo!" - Loki
Dudes who say "I wouldn't..." would. Don't be lyin'. I read the page before this all blew up and half of the dudes who claimed she was too ugly were so obviously full of shit, it wasn't even funny. I love how guys critique chicks on the 'net and come away saying 'I wouldn't...' Yeah, right. Unless you're in a commitment, you're full of shit. About the only readily acceptable response -other than the affirmative- is to say "not my type" because we have types and can afford to exercise that type requirement on the 'net.
IRL, most of those dudes would have been humping each other just to see who could talk to her first.
And that fan page... well, I think whoever the admin is didn't stop to realize what he was getting into before creating it.
Being a BEARS fan you get lumped in with idiots. Being a gun owner you get lumped in with crazies.
Being a car owner you get lumped in with whoever is next to you in the right lane.
You have to work your way around all of it and still survive being lumped in with anybody other then who you are.

Audi rolls out the A3 E-tron plug-in hybrid concept in Shanghai
Audi has given us another look at the next-generation A3--this time as a plug-in hybrid as part of the E-tron collective. The A3 E-tron concept rolled out Tuesday at the Shanghai motor show.
Based on the current RS3 Sportback, the A3 E-tron packs a turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated at 211 hp and an electric motor rated at 27 hp. The powertrain's combined output can push the car from 0 to 62 mph in 6.8 seconds, with a top speed of 144 mph. Power flows through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The lithium-ion battery pack is stored behind the rear seats. At 12 kilowatt-hours, it holds enough juice to power the A3 E-tron up to 34 miles without the help of the turbo four.
The four-seater uses MacPherson struts up front and a four-link suspension in the rear. Audi's Drive Select system lets the driver choose from five modes, tailoring the response of the suspension, steering, transmission and throttle.
Inside, Audi swaps the tachometer for a power meter, which shows total system output on a scale of 0 to 100 percent. The meter also shows where the power is coming from--the engine or the battery pack.
Given the heft of the battery pack, Audi worked to save weight in other areas. The A3 E-tron's doors, hood and liftgate are made from aluminum. The concept has a curb weight of 3,792 pounds.

GRANADA HILLS - Under a heavy presence of police officers and security guards, hundreds of Muslims strolled into polling booths all day Sunday to vote on who will control the Islamic Center of Northridge.
At least 1,900 people were expected to cast ballots inside voting trailers during the court-ordered special election. The election stemmed from a two-year legal battle over how the center's current board of directors has installed its members. | See photo gallery.
"The significance is there were no democratic elections in the last six years," said Dr. Shaik Saheb, an orthopedic surgeon who is vying to be the next president of the Islamic Center of Northridge.
"The people in the community have been denied the democratic process," he said. "We want this to be a very peaceful process. We want all the people to participate, to be united, to have one voice and do good for the community. This is not just for the Muslims. This is for all the community."
The faction that sought the election is part of a group called the Muslim Association of San Fernando Valley. They said they were ousted in 2004 from the board by backers of the center's current leadership. They also said the group now running the center and mosque closed off its leadership to outside candidates and have held elections with little notice or opportunity for others to try running for the board.
The mosque is one of the oldest in the San Fernando Valley.
Two voting trailers, one for men, one for women, were brought in and planted on closed off Encino Avenue near Rinaldi Street, outside the mosque. Security guards and officers with the Los Angeles Police Department, as well as undercover sheriff's deputies surrounded the area, while Seattle-based Election Trust, monitored the polls. Results were expected later Sunday night.
"This is the first time (in the mosque's history) women get to vote," said Lottie Cohen, the attorney representing the 28 plaintiffs who sought the court-ordered election.
But Martin Simone, the attorney who represents the group now in charge of the Islamic Center of Northridge said those who participated in Sunday's election were outsiders solicited by the plaintiffs. Families paid $100 in membership fees for the chance to vote, he said, but would not likely be regulars at the mosque.
"We don't see this as a fair election," Simone said.
The current board attempted to postpone the election, but lost in court on Friday. They said the elections infringed on preparations for the upcoming holy month of Ramadan, which
But the plaintiffs argued there is no religious prohibition against holding elections prior to or during Ramadan. They said the holiday is a time for resolving disputes, which could be accomplished through an election.
Retired judge David H. Bricker, who acted as a referee for the parties, agreed with the plaintiffs.
But those who sided with the current board would likely not show up at the election, which means the results would be skewed, Simone suggested.
"The Imam is boycotting the elections," Simone said. "Our people have chosen to follow the teachings of the Imam."
If new members are installed on the board, a new Islamic Center of Northridge will emerge, Saheb and others said.
Plans include a mosque for all, as well as free Islamic education and an Islamic-based high school.
"Our directive is very simple," Saheb said. "What the community needs, we'll do first, whether it's education or support for families, help the poor and needy and the elderly. We want to enforce a lot of positivity in the community."

Revelation came while sitting on the light tan rotating stool in Exam Room Three of our office at 3:11 p.m. on Thursday. That is the moment Lisa's cell phone rang, filling the room with the chirps of a mythical bird, the sort of sound that drives cats and doctors insane. The phone whipped from its holster and Lisa answered. It was a dear friend confirming dinner plans. Lisa and her invisible electro-buddy then had an animated conversation lasting one minute twenty-six seconds, to which I was passive partner; they agreed on time, place and who would bring the wine to the evidently BYOB fish restaurant, which I learned has excellent lobster. This was time enough; when the call was complete, and the intrusion lovingly cradled back in her purse, the future was clear…mankind is doomed.
You see I was meeting with Lisa to talk about the results of her breast cancer tests. CT scans, chemo, and hair loss. Staging, pathology and vomiting. Living and, just maybe, dying. How cancer would change her life; Deep, complex challenges that stress the intellectual and emotional capacity, not to mention attention span, of any person. However, when that bird sang, zombie-like Lisa was magically carried away.
Some will say that the phone call was an act of denial; it was her way of taking a break, as no one really likes to be with an oncologist at those sorts of times. That was not the case … she was compelled and once connected to the electric web was transported. Lisa switched from our visit as if she was shutting off a light, unable to resist the alternative illumination of the call. Remarkably, this was the fifth time on that Thursday that a patient's phone signaled during a visit; in four of the cases the patient, sitting three feet from me, answered the call, and two patients completed their telemeets while I waited.
Why do I think this spells the end of homo sapien life? Well, I understand interrupting Thanksgiving by cell, those relatives are boring; or talking loudly about personal hygiene on an elevator full of strangers; or yelling on an iPhone driving 45 miles an hour through a school zone, as children should stay out of the road. On a date with that gorgeous guy or gal both of you should be on cell phones, for who really wants romance when the disembodied warmth of a microscopic speaker beckons; no doubt the reproduction of the whole race will dwindle. However, if you cannot stay free of the worldwide phone web long enough to cure your cancer and stay alive, than I think there is a problem.
This can only mean that cell phones have the power to drain your will to live. The digital connection deprives the brain of its survival instinct, with thought and free will neutralized. It is the final function of modern culture; society fattens with supersized nutrition, baths you in chemicals and radiation, addicts you to smoke while you sit frozen in front of a 145 inch TV and when you finally get cancer, a result of being fatally groomed by a dirty unhealthy lifestyle, your soul is pulled out of you body through your ear so you can not even focus enough to save your life.
I am not certain there is any hope as long as people insist on living outside the moment, the place and their own bodies. However, I have a thought; I am going write an App. It will be called the "Me" App. In high stress or risk situations, the Me App will call you…. that is the phone itself calls "the patient." When answered, and you know you will answer it, the App in your own voice says, "Hey, are you paying attention? This is important!" In addition, as any real friend, the Me App will offer to listen and record, but will not speak anymore.
At the same time the Me App answers all incoming calls with a nurturing disclaimer; "Lisa hopes you are having a special fabulous day, because each day is precious. Lisa would love to talk to you, really she would, but she is attending to the serious business of life. Perhaps she is watching the sunset, holding her baby daughter or out for a jog. Live for this moment. Chirp."

Doc, Lisa was simply rude, ignorant and lacking in self-control. These are the same oblivious people I see using cellphones while driving, despite it being very dangerous and unlawful conduct. You should insist your patients turn off their electronic (de)vices before any further consultation. You (as well as your other patients) need not suffer the boorish and uncaring behavior of Lisa et al. Indeed, you probably have other oncological patients just outside the consult room who view every additional minute of waiting for your diagnosis and advice as excruciating torture. I know; my wife twice had breast cancer.
But are we "doomed"? Yes, but only to the same unthinking and selfish conduct displayed by many people before cellphones were ever invented. We just need to adapt to this latest manifestation of "homo sapiens" being something of a misnomer.

How about doctors who answer their cell phones when they are with a patient! One of my doctors did this!
11:28 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Fair enough, Regina. (Those of us of a certain age still remember doctors who continued smoking long after it was an established cause of cancer.) On the other hand, I suppose a doctor still needs to be available for emergency calls.
Regina Culmone Stein
11:38 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
It was not an emergency, it was her son calling her on a non important matter. I was too taken aback to say anything, guess I should have, huh?
11:55 am on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Boy, that raises a whole new set of issues about the "entitled" behavior of many doctors. For example, it rankles me whenever I am addressed by my first name in a doctor's office, even when I have never met the person before. Or when a doctor keeps me waiting and behaves as if my time is worthless, when my clients pay me $1,000 an hour, more than many doctors receive. Having said that, I have never said anything (that I recall).
12:36 pm on Saturday, October 6, 2012
Donald, what on earth do you do that is worth $1000/hour? Keep in mind, this is a family-oriented website.

4. | Hand of god | ||
A game of gentlemanly rivalry. The two men stand facing each other bare-chested. One at a time, each man delivers a single, open-handed blow to his opponents' abdominal area. Only one step is allowed to be taken by the deliverer, and the recipient of the blow may not evade the blow and must sustain it fully. At the end of this, each gentleman will have a reddened imprint of his opponent's hand emblazoned upon his abdominals- "the hand of god". Ten minutes (or some other predetermined time) are allowed to elapse, after which each man's chest is re-examined. A group of impartial peers will decide which man has more fully recovered and shows the lesser amount of redness and injury- this man is declared the winner. In the event that the peers are unable to come to a unanimous decision (extremely rare), the two gentlemen shall again strike one another in the manner explained above, and again be judged until a winner is declared. While abdominal fat may cushion the blow in a game ofHand of god, it is far more susceptible to lasting tell-tale redness which can lead to a loss. Placing and timing of the blow is extremely important- proper placement can lead to the open fisted blow causing a gash that breaks the skin and draws blood- which will almost inevitably result in a win when compared to simple redness.
