Can the shortage of doctors be solved using an adaptation of the third law of supply and demand?
The third law of supply and demand states "If demand remains unchanged and supply increases, a surplus occurs, leading to a lower equilibrium price."
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supply_and_demand )
If we increased the rate of new doctors entering medicine (using mechanisms such as but not limited to; subsidizing doctors education, further compartmentalizing aspects of health care etc ) until we reached a surplus state then would waiting times and the cost of healthcare go down accordingly?

Sep 11 2013: In answer to your question a simple yes.
The last time I needed emerg I had ear trouble. I could not wait for an appointment with my doctor as a good deal of my job is effective listening.
After ten hours of waiting to be seen I had to give up as it was within 4 hours of my next shift. That's ridiculous. If I were in some remote location ok fair enough, but in a major city, I think not, we're better than that.
Doctors seeking new patients do not necessarily grow on tree's, or such has been my experience. I recently lucked out and found one however I will not just ignore the issue because now "I" am looked after. A community or a nation is a team and all Canadians have the right to accessible good medical care. In fact I feel people of all nations should have that, it's as basic as breathing.
Sep 12 2013: yeah, martin, I'm guessing the hospital actually would like to create a long wait for patients at the emergency room because they don't want scads of people coming to the emergency room, which is what would happen if there weren't a long wait. You know, some people would show up with colds and mild flus, which really aren't emergencies, but I think they would show up at the emergency room if they could see someone without a long wait. I would think in most cases doctors would prefer to see people with an appointment on a non-emergency basis, but I can't think why exactly, why is it that upscale professionals usually prefer people make an appointment?
I can't tell how major a problem doctors not accepting new patients is, I would think not such a problem because if there are people seeking new doctors, it also means they are leaving doctors, doesn't it?
Sep 14 2013: well, Martin, my first thought is that if you put enough doctors in an emergency room that people wouldn't have to wait, people will start using it like a walk-in clinic, they'll take almost everything there, even things that most of us wouldn't think are emergencies. So the question arises what's wrong with a walk-in clinic? I think the reason doctors prefer to make an appointment is that they use their time well, in a walk-in clinic, there may be times when there are more doctors available than people coming in, so that some doctors are sitting idle, which it's expensive to pay a doctor when he's just sitting idle. Conversely, in a walk-in clinic, there may be times when there are so many patients that there aren't enough doctors to cover them quickly so that noone has a long time to wait. In a normal doctor's office where they make appointments to see the doctor, they can prevent both these situations, they can schedule so that the doctor's time is always well-spent, no downtime, and they can schedule so that they're not getting more people coming in than the doctor can handle, nor making them wait. So I would say there is a real advantage to seeing doctors by appointment, and thus I believe the hospital purposely makes it hard to see a doctor in the emergency room.
Here in the states we have something called urgent care, it's midway between a standard doctor's office and an emergency room. Do you have these in Canada, perhaps your ear problem would have been better served by urgent care?
Sep 14 2013: Hi Greg,
I am unfamiliar with "urgent care" or the idea's surrounding it.
It is easy to agree we'd not want high priced doctors to be sitting around doing nothing, if the emerg rooms were clear. I wonder how we could work around that, and still have them close. Perhaps a rotating on call status?
Sep 14 2013: right, martin, I'm sure they do have doctors on-call for major emergencies, like if they suddenly need a surgeon to remove a bullet, and the doctor in the emergency room isn't qualified to do it. But I still say if you turn the emergency room into a walk-in clinic, which is what I think would happen if people didn't have to wait long, you'd get too many people with non-emergencies in the middle of the night, what, you want some on-call doctor to get up in the middle of the night, get dressed, and drive to the hospital to treat a bunch of people with colds and flus? And then he's going to be tired the next day when he has to deal with his regular patients who have made appointments at his office. I'm sorry, I just can't see it working, as best I can see the system is fine as it is. But if you see something wrong with my logic, let me know.
here is the wikipedia article on urgent care: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urgent_care
Sep 14 2013: I like the idea of the Urgent Care Centers Greg.
Without annual emergency room statistics for the nature of illness by percentage of people who show up cross referenced by season, date and time it would be tricky to really feel comfortable thinking crowded emergency rooms are all about people worried about a cough enough to hang out in emerg for 13 hours to be seen to avoid having to make an apt with their regular doctor but ok crazy as that sounds I guess it "could" be possible.
Then again, if we could nail down to some level of certainty that say 55-60 percent of persons were hanging out in emerg on a regular basis for things that an RN or otherwise capable staff could handle (coughs, colds, take the temperature of a flu) then perhaps we could staff RN's so there would be enough, and leave the doctors to deal with the 40% that we determine actually do need to see one?
Where there is demand, there should also be supply to meet it. Sidenote? Another contributor mentioned there are actually "out of work doctors" .. wouldn't they rather be working picking up the slack than sitting around on EI or accruing extra debt they don't need?
(any time I've found myself in an emerg the folks there really look like they need to be there but I agree that we'd not want staff of any kind sitting idle.)
Sep 25 2013: no, martin, the idea isn't that people with coughs currently hang out for 13 hours waiting to see a doctor, the idea is that if you made it too convenient for people with coughs to see a doctor in the emergency room, in other words, they only had to wait, for example, half an hour, then more people with very minor ailments would go to the "emergency room," and it would no longer truly be an emergency room, it would become a walk-in clinic. By making people wait, it weeds out the true emergencies from the lesser stuff. Does this work for you?
I'm curious, when you had your earache and never got seen by someone, did you go to work and just work despite the pain of the earache, or did you take a sick day? Most jobs you do get a certain number of sick days a year, this might have been a time to take one.
Sep 25 2013: Greg?
No, it doesn't work for me honestly.
Telling truly sick people its ok to expect them to wait long hours so that more people might be discouraged from using the health system is .. illogical and immoral in my view.
IF we were talking about lineups at the used tire store? I'm with you all the way.
But we're not are we. We're talking about ones health and that is about as close to home as it gets, for any and all of us.
Sep 26 2013: well, offhand, it works for me, Martin. I think part of it is that few doctors want to work through the middle of the night, I'm sort of guessing that a higher percentage of doctors than the average person have spouses and children and want to work a regular schedule so they're in sync with their family, or really just in sync with the world. But if you want a through-the-night emergency room well-stocked with doctors, they won't be able to do that.
Maybe psychologically you don't want an emergency room to be too good at what it does because it might encourage lawlessness in the middle of the night, in other words, the gangsters and criminals might get even crazier if they think there's some emergency room with many doctors to deal with all their victims. People might commit more domestic violence if they know there's an emergency room with many doctors to help victims.
I would guess too that there's some sense that a lot of things do get better if you just sleep on them and see how they feel in the morning. I would think for that reason too the hospital might not want to make it too convenient to go to the emergency room.
I would slightly guess that doctors like working at the hospital during the day when many of their colleagues are around, in other words they can go to the hospital dining room and talk with many doctors from different fields. Some of that would be lost for doctors working through the middle of the night in the emergency room.
I still wonder if instead of going to the emergency room, you could have taken a couple of sick days with your earache.
Sep 29 2013: Greg, I'm pretty sure over 80% of the entire world, prefers working during daylight hours. It tends to naturally go well with our circadian rhythms. We tend to agree there. I'd also agree that the system as it is doctors pretty much write their own ticket and the public must simply accept it as there really is no other choice provided demand exceeds available doctors.
I'm not quite so sure that criminals plan their activities around hospital peak service times. I suppose they might but I just can't see that as a primary consideration for them in general.
To my thinking just like any other business one would look at the demand on a given day hour month based on former years data and then staff accordingly tailoring the schedule as experience updates the data.
If I needed to put a finger on why the government finds inefficient service acceptable, I'd believe that its because the ones controlling the government do not experience it. Their needs are seen to promptly and efficiently therefore there IS no issue.
No matter who a voter votes in or out, that individual is subject to "party rule." Faces change and the system remains the same. Which likely means that if a country wants to actually see that what is good for the voters is reflected in their governments choices, they really need to vote directly on the issues such as www.onlineparty.ca.
As for the earache Greg. When I'd attended that emerg for multiple hours my earache seemed to be the lowest rung on any triage ladder and with good reason. Several people were sobbing and bent over with abdominal pain. Some had had to be carried in. Some had physical injuries. There was a plethora of valid reasons for people being there.
I' am not offended in the least by some contributors suggesting that emergs are full only because people there have coughs or colds and are abusing the system, I'm amused.
The world runs 24 hours a day and does not stop because some persons prefer daytime hours, thats news?

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The mother of Trayvon Martin says she was disappointed by a Florida judge's decision to give George Zimmerman another chance at posting bond and leaving prison before trial.
A judge granted Zimmerman bond Thursday for a second time, setting it at $1 million. His previous $150,000 bond was revoked after prosecutors presented evidence that he had misled the court about his finances. Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder in Martin's death.
Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, spoke Friday at a news conference with the Rev. Al Sharpton. She says that knowing her son's killer "may walk free sometime, one day, it really hurts."

Writing Contest: Seimifinalists
Importance of a Budget: A magnificent poem
Should I buy this plaid shirt?
Or perhaps these gold earrings?
But do I have enough money,
To buy all these nice things?
To buy or not to buy,
Is the question I ask.
But the answer is a Budget,
That will set me on task.
I must save, save, save,
In order to spend, spend, spend.
Opportunity costs may include,
Clothes, shoes, and maybe a boyfriend.
To diminish my spending,
In the theaters, diners, and mall.
Would enable me to acquire my needs,
Not a vacation to the Taj Mahal.
Critical mistakes I must avoid,
Like unfavorable variances and bounced checks.
If not the Budget will be,
Ruined, and I'll need a Kleenex.
Composition has been lightly edited.

Bank hints at fee for debit cards
Free use of debit cards is likely to join free checking as relics of 2010.
Back in the day, banks used to charge you a fee whenever you used a debit card. Eventually, that privilege became free. And today debit cards have outstripped credit cards as the most popular form of plastic.
So wouldn't you know that banks are seriously considering charging a fee for debit card use again?
US Bank chief executive Richard Davis recently mentioned the possibility of some sort of debit card fee, The New York Times' Bucks blog reports. Davis also said that "debit is no longer a free product" and "there will no longer be rewards to speak of." (More on that below.)
Why a fee? you might ask. Banks already charge merchants when you use your debit card in their stores. Besides, shouldn't you be able to access your own money for free? And using a debit card has got to cost banks less than handling a paper check you might otherwise write. (Yes, Virginia, some people still write checks.)
A big reason is that the Federal Reserve in July plans to limit how much big banks (small banks are exempt) can charge those merchants for each debit card transaction. The Fed has proposed a 12-cent fee, a third or less of what banks charge now. (The financial reform law passed last year says the fee is supposed to reflect the banks' actual costs. Banks are heavily lobbying the new Congress to overturn that provision.) The post continues after this video from last month, which explains the Fed's proposal in detail:
With that limit in place, banks will likely look to consumer debit card fees as an alternate revenue source. They also would love for you to switch back to using your credit card, where so-called swipe fees for merchants aren't being reduced. (Plus, if you don't pay off your balance each month, you'll pay interest.) A debit card fee would be incentive to use credit.
Odysseus Papadimitriou, CEO of CardHub.com, also predicts that banks will push prepaid cards, but without all the burdensome fees many of them have now.
It's not yet widely known what form debit card fees will take. An annual fee is one possibility. Also, look for limits on how many times you can use your debit card each month.
About those debit card rewards: Chase will no longer enroll new customers in its debit card rewards program starting Feb. 8. It doesn't appear that those who haven't already signed up will be missing much. You have to spend $25,000 with your card to earn, say, a $50 gift card at Macy's, The Associated Press reports, or only $6,250 if you agree to pay a $25 annual fee for enhanced rewards.
We've already reported about the end of free checking at a number of major banks, as they look for different ways to make money. If they can't nickel-and-dime you one way, they'll find another.
At Bucks, "mobocracy" of Minneapolis explained his/her theory about why that occurs:
It's unfortunate that the fee genie got out of the bottle several years ago; banks, their overbonused executives and their shareholders got used to the fat profits they earned based on fees charged for services that were otherwise paid for through other banking revenues. … Bank revenue has been artificially inflated by bogus fees for so long that shareholder/executive bonus pressure will cause them to institute two new fees for every one that might be constrained.
If your bank rolls out a fee for using your debit card, how will you respond? Will you switch to your credit card or will you use cash -- or look around for a smaller bank?

Now that NASA's fleet of space shuttles has been retired, developers want to build a new commercial spaceport near the Kennedy Space Center. But the future could collide with the past.
One site being proposed is where a sugar plantation once stood in the 1700's. Our FOX 13 crew went to the barely-visible ruins along a remote coastline. We saw stones that experts say are from the early buildings of the plantation that covered more than 2,000 acres, including villages for slaves.
"This is definitely one of the most important historic sites in North America in our opinion," said Margo Schwadron, an archeologist who works for the National Park Service, which oversees part of the plantation site which is located on land owned by NASA.
Historical records show the plantation was built around 1763 on land owned by William Elliott, a wealthy man in England who hired Scottish overseer John Ross to run the plantation, which produced sugar, rum and indigo. He acquired more than 80 slaves in Georgia to transform the barely explored coastal area into a remote plantation.
"This was the end of the line," explained John Stiner of the National Park Service. "This was the southernmost British plantation on the whole east coast of North America."
The plantation ceased operation in the 1780's after raids by Spanish privateers, but not before the slave population had built homes and raised children.
Schwadron says the site may hold special importance to some here.
"Descendants of the people that lived on this plantation, and descendants possibly in this community today," she said.
The site is on the Brevard-Volusia county line near Titusville. Schwadron, along with local archeologists and historians, has performed at least two archeological digs at the site in recent years, unearthing tools and tableware used by the slaves. She says the Park Service will not make the decision on the future of the site, but may be called on for information.
Developers say a new commercial spaceport could help revive the local economy, which was shattered by the end of the shuttle program. The new jobs it would bring are sorely needed here.
A spokesperson for Space Florida, the state's space development organization, says the historical plantation is part of the environmental impact process and could impact a final decision on whether the spaceport will be built here. Environmental organizations are also raising concerns about wildlife in the area.
Meanwhile, the ruins of the plantation are largely undisturbed, as they've been for 250 years.
"They may be basically a few stones above the surface, but all that's under the surface is still there," added Stiner.

I realise that this was meant as a joke, and that you weren't trying to create actual good quality art, but you can only do something like that if you make it funny and satirical. You can't just make a collab of low-quality flash and call it a joke or a parody.

The Schuster Family Transplantation Research Center (TRC) is a multifaceted group of clinicians and investigators that strives to dramatically improve outcomes for recipients of transplanted organs. Formed in 2003 as a result of a generous gift from the Schuster family, the TRC set an ambitious agenda that has already yielded tangible results.
We emphasize the importance of translational research, starting in the clinic with recognition of the life-long challenges that recipients face - before, during and after transplant surgery. In the laboratory, researchers probe complex processes such as allorecognition and rejection, improvements in surgical technique and drug development.

Breakfast was taken in the buffet self service restaraunt,the choice was excellent,no complaints from us.Lunch we tended to take by the pool,and dinner in the Meridian silver service restaraunt.The service and choice here was very good and nice to see guests making an effort adhering to the dress code[unlike RCI]
We visited the Palladium theatre to see Bobby Crush and watched a few shows by the theatre company all very enjoyable.
My favourite was the British sailaway from Cadiz,great fun,well done entertainment team,everyone was up and going for it.
The crows nest was agood venue for drinks after the theatre although my husband quite liked the casino,
There were alot of elderly people on board,but i say well done to them for making the effort to go on holiday and dressing up so spledidly.
All in all it was a very good experience,the only down side was the weather on the last two sea days,I thought it would have been warmer.We would definately use Arcadia again.

Missing Chicago student Pravin Varughese was found dead on Feb. 18, six days after he went missing. According to Fox2Now, police located Varughese's body in Carbondale. Police say that Varughese may have gotten into an argument with someone before his disappearance last Wednesday night. They are still investigating.
Just after the 19-year-old went missing, his parents offered a $15,000 reward to anyone who had any information that could help locate their son. It's unclear if anyone came forward with any information but police found the teen dead after the use of a helicopter and police dogs.
Missing Chicago student Pravin Varughese was found near Giant City road. Police did not release details about the condition of the body or whether or not they are seeking a suspect in this case. It does sound like this could have been a suicide but nothing has been confirmed at this point.
"On behalf of our Family, we wanted to thank you all for your kind words, endless support and prayers for Pravin. Authorities have confirmed this morning that they have found his body. We ask that you continue to keep Pravin's parents and sisters in your prayers as we go through this difficult time and mourn the loss of a beloved Son Brother, Grandson, Nephew, Cousin, & Friend (sic)," wrote Jiji Abraham on Varughese's Facebook wall.
Missing Chicago student Pravin Varughese was found alone. It's unknown how long his body had been at that particular location.

Jay Gruden on that last drive
Jay Gruden on that last drive
Many have been wondering why the Bengals didn't at least run it once or twice in the fourth quarter of their loss to the Cowboys. With a 2-point lead, offensive coordinator Jay Gruden was trying to be aggressive and add points instead of running out the clock. Said Gruden: "Even if you get a field goal give them two minutes to score with Tony Romo, I've watched him enough on tape to know that's not a safe play either. I was trying to get a score to go up nine and put it out of reach. "Yeah. If we'd have got one more first down, I'd have said, (cluck), he's got two minutes. Gone down to one minute, I'd have said, (duck) he's got one minute. That guy is a hell of a player and they've got a bunch of great weapons over there. Our defense is playing great but he's a hell of a player so I thought seven was much more important than 3."

High Line Art will premiere several new projects this spring as part of its ever-changing public art program, including the outdoor group exhibition Archeo, a new billboard by Faith Ringgold, and a large-scale mural by legendary artist Ed Ruscha.
The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees – each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share one of our gardeners' current favorites with you.
Extended spring hours mean more time to experience after-dark hours on the High Line. With the park now open until 10:00 PM – and temperatures in a much more friendly range – visitors can enjoy the light show that makes the "city that never sleeps" so enchanting.
The High Line's position on Manhattan's far west side makes it the perfect place to watch the evening's slow transition from day to night. Bright skies warm to darker orange and red hues as the sun dips below New Jersey's skyline across the Hudson River. The best seats in the house can be found on the Diller – von Furstenberg Sundeck, on the High Line between West 14th and West 15th Streets, and at West 18th Street. Cross streets, like this gorgeous view of West 26th Street captured by photographer Timothy Schenck, also offer a unique opportunity to see the park silhouetted against the colorful evening sky.
We've reached the official end of Spring Cutback 2014! After four weeks of hard work by staff and volunteers, this massive horticultural endeavor is complete.
We were concerned about the lasting effects of this frigid and tenacious winter on the High Line's landscape. However, there is at least one advantage of a tardy spring. "Delays in spring weather mean that we can witness the bulbs break ground," said Senior Gardener Maeve Turner. Unlike previous years, when new growth would lie hidden beneath the yet-to-be-cut dried grasses and shrubs, this spring's belated blooms will emerge in our neatly trimmed beds.
If you've visited the High Line recently, you've probably noticed that the once-tall dried grasses that characterize the park's winter landscape have been trimmed back to the ground. This annual "haircut" for the park is called Spring Cutback and the tremendous task takes High Line Gardeners and volunteers four weeks to complete.
Not all of the High Line's plants are trimmed back during Spring Cutback. The park's woody perennials, shrubs, and trees may be pruned at other times of year, but they are not trimmed back aggressively as the park's grasses are. One species of grass that does not get cut back at all is Mexican feather grass, Nassella tenuissima. This slow-growing perennial is left intact making it the only dried grass you'll see on the High Line right now.
This entrancing GIF by High Line Photographer Steven Severinghaus captures the beauty of Mexican feather grass at this time of year. The dense bunches of dried thread-like blades look almost like hair as they wave in even the slightest breeze. In the background, it's possible to see the trimmed-back stumps of other varieties of grass. Soon Mexican feather grass – and its wild grass brethren at the High Line – will transition to shades of vivid spring green.
Learn about more plants of interest by viewing our monthly bloom lists.
We're approaching the end of Spring Cutback, an annual endeavor to trim back more than 100,000 plants along the High Line to make room for new growth. This week staff and volunteers began to tackle several densely planted areas, including the Chelsea Grasslands, which stretch from West 17th Street through West 20th Street.
See more photos from the third week of Spring Cutback below.
It's difficult to believe that Spring Cutback is nearly finished! Later this week High Line Gardeners and volunteers will wrap this nearly four-week endeavor.
The first spring bulbs and green shoots are tentatively breaking the soil and soaking up every available drop of sunshine. As the cold weather starts to subside – and we promise it will – the High Line's landscape will transform into full-blown spring glory.
This GIF, comprised of photos by High Line Photographer Melissa Mansur, allows us to look into the increasingly green future of the Northern Spur Preserve. This small offshoot, or "spur," on the High Line once connected the active freight railway with the Merchants Refrigerating Company, a massive cold storage facility. Now, like the rest of the High Line, the Northern Spur Preserve is home to a wide variety of plants. The varieties chosen for this section of the park are especially meant to evoke the wild landscape that took over the High Line after the trains stopped running. You'll find a variety of asters, sedges, catmint, and phlox.
Pan, a mischievous-looking satyr, has been charming visitors from his perch at Gansevoort Street for nearly a year. Created by artist Sean Landers, the sculpture is part of Busted, a High Line Art group exhibition.

State Law Enforcement Division investigators are looking into an incident where a shot was fired inside Palmetto Health Richland Wednesday night.
According to a news release from the hospital, a Corrections Department inmate who was also a patient at the hospital managed to remove a weapon from a corrections officer who was guarding him.
During the scuffle, the corrections officer fired a single shot to help subdue the inmate and help fellow officers regain custody of him.
No one was injured in this incident.
The inmate was transported back to Kirkland Correctional Institute.
It is not the first time a gunshot has been fired in the Palmetto Health ER. In August 2008, a woman being treated at the hospital grabbed a gun from a nearby officer and fatally shot herself. That prompted a change to the type of holsters used by its officers.

An upset 17-year-old took out his anger on his aunt's cat on Monday, according to a press release from the .
SPCA Director of Humane Law Enforcement Ernest Lungaro reported the teenager is accused of "dousing his aunt's cat with lighter fluid and causing the animal excruciating pain."
"When I asked what had provoked the incident, the aunt, who is his legal guardian, told me that the boy was upset because he was not able to visit his mother that weekend," Lungaro said in the statement.
A caller initially notified police about the incident after reportedly seeing the cat on a balcony covered in lighter fluid. A pile of clothing and other parts of the balcony were also covered in the fluid.
"According to my interview with the aunt and cousin, the cat was literally dripping with lighter fluid and was screaming and defecating throughout the apartment," said Lungaro. "When I took the cat to a veterinarian, I was told that their swift actions helped to prevent further pain and suffering."
The witnesses said the cat ran through the apartment in pain, but was caught by the owner, who put him under running water in the bathtub.
Veterinarian Dr. Jiao of Westchester Animal Hospital in Mount Vernon said that cat suffered from "irritations throughout its fur, nasal discharge and respiratory distress from breathing the fumes, and the tip of its tongue had been eroded."
He added the cat is expected to make a complete recovery.
The teenager's name was not released. He is charged with one count of Animal Cruelty.

Saturday, we lost one of the best singers to ever grace a stage, Ms. Whitney Houston. Whitney paved the way for so many. She broke records and barriers! Yet, when you look at the media coverage...we are only reminded of her imperfections. Why can't the world let Whitney, finally find rest?
Here's my take:
I like most girls grew up dancing and singing in the mirror to Whitney. My personal favorites are "The Greatest Love of All", "I Will Always Love You", and "I Look to You." For me, African American women like Whitney and Oprah represented all that I could be one day, if I just put my mind to it. So it bothers me to hear ignorant people say "who cares, she was just a drug addict?" Before anything else...Whitney was a human being and deserves compassion and respect. I don't want to preach to you, but we ALL have fallen short at some point in our lives and will continue to! Whitney's personal struggles were just that---HER PERSONAL STRUGGLES.
What matters and what folks should remember and celebrate her for is this:
Whitney Houston was in the words of Beyonce the "Ultimate Legend." Her talent was like no other. God-given talent like that simply can't be duplicated. Whitney was probably the best singer of our lifetime. Many have said no one had her vocal fluidity and purity of tone. Whitney was the most awarded female recording artist of all time. Whitney was the ONLY artist to chart seven consecutive #1 Billboard Hot 100 Hits.
I don't care what happened in that hotel room on Saturday night. I care that a young woman has lost her mother at a time when a girl so desperately needs her mom. I care that "we" the fans will never hear this icon belt out another note. I care that folks are looking past all her good only to focus on the bad. Hopefully someone out there will be saved from their own struggles by knowing her story. Let Whitney Houston rest in peace! Give someone a hug, let them know they are loved and cared about. Lastly, pay attention to people's cry for help...you might be the only saving grace they see.
Happy Valentine's Day...

On the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar that the Messenger of Allaah(sallallahu alayhe wasallam) said, May Allaah have mercy on the one who prays four before Asr. Abu Dawwod and At-Tirmidhee transmitted it.
Al-Albani declares it Hasan in Saheeh Al-Jaami' As-Sagheer # 3493 and declares it Saheeh in Saheeh at-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb 1:312

I am now more confused than I was before; does total of 17 rakaat (4 sunnat, 4 farz, 2 sunnat, 2 nafl, 3 vitr and 2 nafl) in Isha makes it complete or 9 rakaat (4 farz, 2 sunnat and 3 vitr) does?
9 rakaat is complete namaz whereas 17 rakaat is complete namaz plus added savab
9 rakaat is incomplete namaz and 17 rakaat is complete Isha
which one is true?????

I was born and raised in a tiny little town in Malaysia called Seremban. Every day at 5pm, my dad would come out to the yard, point a finger at me and say "you! In the kitchen with your mother!" Ugh! I resented the fact that my brothers got to stay outside for a couple more hours and play, while I had to be in the kitchen. But now I see that he had a plan! My mom was a tough head chef - for months all I did was wash rice, and peel and chop onions, garlic and ginger. After a while, she let me peel and cut up the potatoes. Then it was the veggies. Besides the Malayali and Sinhalese influences, my beautiful mom's cooking was also colored by the fact that we lived in Malaysia, a wonderful melting pot of cultures - Chinese, Malay, and Portuguese food concepts crept into our daily home-cooked meals. I am so blessed to have grown up in her kitchen and watched her cook all these years. I would love to share this with you.

Obituary: Richard Schaefer
Date: December 8, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Richard Schaefer, 79, of Longboat Key and formerly of Wilmette, Ill., died Dec. 5.
Born July 24, 1930, in Sandusky, Ohio, he graduated with a degree in business from The Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio, in 1952, and later became a certified public accountant after graduate school at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Ill. He served as an officer in the U.S. Air Force and reported to the Pentagon.

I have a new machine for development purposes and its been great.A review is up and the long and short of it is that it is a solid machine that curiously doesn't feel so night-and-day different from my 4 year old system as I expected. Oddly enough, Win7 Professional on it feels really great.
Thoughts I've had for a while now were finally put into words with some semblance of coherence. It struck me that in trying to apply software solutions to a business workflow, oftentimes the workflow must accommodate the software's way of thinking. This struck me as a Good Idea™ and so Encapsulating the Worker: An Object-Oriented Approach to Business Workflow has some ideas about how the principles of good software design can be extended into our thinking about how to organize business processes.
Review has been posted. Long story, short: needs editing, badly.
I'm chronicling a one week push to go through Aaron Hillegass' book "Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, 3rd Edition", five chapters a day for one week. This project takes a bit of a Scrum sprint approach with its definition of "done" for the project as well as its time-boxed nature. Will I be able to do it and still find time to do things like eat a meal, or enjoy a conversation with a friend? Read on, and find out!

Social Media and Face-to-Face Interaction Seals the Deal

As much as none of us want to think about it, the truth is that summer is rapidly coming to an end and the academic year looms like a (hopefully) friendly giant. Wherever you have been for the summer, there are ways of maximizing use of virtual resources like social media, and good ol' traditional strategies like having a cup of coffee, to keep learning and developing in your career and academic life. through any season or transition. This is one view of how using both your in-person charms and your social media savvy may help you move forward and grow:

GPA- Is it Worth the Struggle?
Blog Feed - Tue, 07/08/2014 - 11:20am
Recently, I attended an award ceremony for seniors graduating from the language department with honors. The opening speech was delivered by the very charismatic German professor Sebastian Heiduschke discussing an article he had read enumerating the reasons why GPA doesn't really matter to employers. You can imagine that this was a little bit of a controversial topic, since every student receiving an award had at least a 3.8 GPA, and had worked hard to make it that way. But as Heiduschke took us on a journey through the facts, it became clear that GPA truly does matter.
Let's start off where he did, taking a look at the things that employers might look at rather than GPA:
- Knowing how you learn— understanding how you learn is an integral factor in success in education and work environments
- Applying theory to real-life situations— we have spent a lot of time getting a degree, we need to know how to use it too
- Time management— balancing a work schedule with a healthy social life, as well as all the individual parts of your work life
- Relevant Professional Experience— internships you have held, volunteer work in the field, and jobs that can relate to your professional life
- Portfolio Work— don't tell me that all of the work you have done in school is for nothing, you can take all those big projects that you were so proud of and put them into a portfolio
- The ability to give and receive feedback— a lot of times employers will want to know that you can give input into a situation just as well as you can receive input and reform your projects
- Presentation Skills— not all jobs require this, but being able to present yourself well as well as present in front of others will help you in the interview process at the very least
- Writing Skills— and just general communications skills are important if you are going to be working with/for anybody
- Your Network— the people that will really get you the job are the people that can attest to your qualities as a worker and person, building healthy relationships with people will come in handy
- GPA— finally the employers will look at your GPA as a factor in your prospects as an employee
Heiduschke went on to point out that all of these skills are taught through language classes at OSU, whether they are taken to be a Baccalaureate Core requirement, a minor, or if you are a fully-fledged language major, you will pick up all of these skills in language classes. It just goes to show that language can be a key in our education even if it is not the focal point of our studies.
But, if employers are so interested in all of these before our GPA, why should we even care? Well, the fact of the matter is that all of these points will reflect on your GPA and so if you have a good one, you should flaunt it. But that doesn't mean that you are out of luck if your grade point is sub-par, you will just have to work hard to get that foot in the door. Remember that it is your job to make yourself look good on your resume, so if you are lacking in one of these ten categories, it's not the end of the world— just highlight the other categories and be confident in portraying what will make you unique to employers.
We spend a lot of time trying to develop skills that we lack in, but at the end of the day: "If you've got it, flaunt it." We don't get jobs by telling an employer which skills and attributes we don't have, or what we are working on. We get the job by showing them just how good we are at what we do best.
~Thank you to Sebastian Heiduschke for inspiring this topic, and providing a large amount of input for the post.~

Personal Branding
Blog Feed - Thu, 06/12/2014 - 3:39pm
Take your career to new heights, know your strengths, and be known for being amazing at something!Zack Sperow, our stylin' Career Assistant
Branding is all about the promise you give to your customer. It tells people what they can expect from you. But in a personal branding point of view; your brand should be what people think of you when you leave the room.
So here is your assignment. First ask 15-30 people that are friends, family, and people who you may have just met within the past few weeks, what are 3-5 words that describe you (The GOOD AND THE BAD). By getting a diverse group of people you will have diverse results and see the changes in responses from someone who knows you more than 10 years to someone who knows you you less than 2 weeks.
Next compile all your responses, draw together conclusions, and find word families. When I did mine I was surprised to see that many people used words like outspoken, honest, or opinionated. It made me wonder is that the lasting impression I want to have on people when I leave the room is that I am opinionated; Is that something I want to change about myself? After some critical thought I decided that I am outspoken and I should own it. I am honest when others aren't but my goal should always be for the common good. I mean HONESTLY, I am probably always the person who will stop a stranger and say that their shirt is inside-out or that they have spinach in their teeth.
After I made some conclusions I developed my personal brand which is exuberant, ambitious, entrepreneur, outspoken, and connected. I will use these words as my guiding force for my interaction with people and over my social media.
Take it to the next level by putting these branding words on your own business cards and using these words to sell yourself into a career.This a perfect opportunity to show people that you care about yourself and you are always looking for ways of self-improvement. I think most employers would agree that they rather hire the person that is always looking for ways to improve rather than the stay at home nobody.

Taking Advantage of Summer
Blog Feed - Mon, 06/09/2014 - 1:07pm
Summer break is definitely one of the things I'll miss the most when I graduate. It's three glorious months of relaxation and sunshine. That being said, it's also the perfect time to get things done before school starts up again and you're really busy and stressed out again. Here are some ideas of ways to keep busy this summer, separate from doing summer classes or working.Deirdre Newton, wonderful Career Assistant!
1. Update your resume so that next time you need it you won't have to do nearly as much work! Career Services will be open all summer for career counseling appointments, so make an appointment to come in for resume and cover letter help!
2. Look into professional memberships relevant to your career. Buying memberships while you're still a student is often significantly cheaper and a great resume builder. You can also get access to a lot of great resources, including job listings that you wouldn't otherwise be able to access.
3. Go to a music festival or concert. So, this actually isn't career development related. But honestly, when is a better time to do this than over the summer! There are a ton of festivals and concerts happening over the summer, taking advantage of the hordes of college students with time to spare. Treat yourself and enjoy being young and carefree.
4. Get letters of recommendation if you foresee yourself needing them soon. Whether you're applying for graduate school in the next year or trying to get a scholarship, summer is a good time to contact professors for letters of recommendation. They're also most likely a bit less busy than during the normal school year, so it's advantageous on both ends.
5. Learn a new skill or pursue new knowledge. Whether it's relevant to your career or not, summer is a great time to learn new skills, read books, and catch up on TEDtalks. You could try learning a language, an instrument, a computer program, a programming language…the possibilities are endless. Maybe you've always wanted to do photography on the side – go for it!
What plans do you have for the summer? We'd love to know!

Differences Between College Life and "Real" Life
Blog Feed - Thu, 05/29/2014 - 3:46pm
Whether you are just starting college, getting close to graduation, or a recent graduate, there are some things you should know about this so-called "real world". Many people will tell you that your college years are the best years of your life. For some people, this may be true, but to be honest it is just a very distinct phase in your life. Personally, when I was in college, all I wanted to do was get out. But then once the novelty of my last free summer wore off, I just wanted back inside. In truth, there are both pros and cons to having a full-time "grown-up" job. Either way you want to look at it, you can't stay a student forever.
Pro: Depending on what kind of work you are doing, generally your weekends are finally what they were intended to be. A time to rest, catch up on some household chores, and best of all…have fun! There is no longer that nagging sensation that you should be doing homework or the guilt that comes with procrastination. When I first graduated, I spend most of my weekends hiking, shopping, and decorating.
Con: You no longer have extended vacations three times a year. In spite of the wonder of free weekends, there is a downside. The days of month long winter vacations, three month long summer vacations, and Spring Break are long gone. Now you are subject to whatever system is in place for vacation time. When you are first-starting out, it is unlikely that you will have any. That means your winter holiday celebration turns into a three day weekend, rushing to visit family and then rushing to come back.
Pro: You earn a decent wage! No longer do you have to live tiny pay-check to tiny pay-check. Or, in some people's case, credit card bill to credit card bill while racking up student loans. You can actually afford things like new shoes when your old ones wear out, as opposed to duck taping them together. Don't get me wrong, you might not be making a huge salary when you graduate, but at least you will probably be making enough to not feel guilty about treating yourself every now and then.
Con: Your amount of bills rise. Suddenly you are expected to own professional clothing and a reliable car to get you to and from work. In addition, bills that perhaps your parents were willing to cover during your college years, are suddenly now your responsibility. This means health insurance, car insurance, cell phone bill, cable, etc.
Pro: Being an adult means people take you seriously. There is not anyone micro-managing your every move. When you say you are sick, people believe you. When you want to use your vacation time, no one questions it. If you are five minutes late, people assume that you have a good excuse.
Con: People expect you to act like an adult. This means that you really do have to have a legitimate reason to miss work. You can't take extra vacation time. People rely on you to get things done on time. Sometimes this might mean working weekends or late nights. And finally, you cannot do things other than work, at work (candycrush, facebook, etc.).
Overall, being an adult can be pretty awesome. But there are some adjustments that you have to make when transitioning out of college. Not being able to be with your family over winter holidays can be a real bummer. But your boss is not like a professor. If you miss work, you could be fired for breaking your contract and consequently face unemployment. Thus, it is best to start thinking about how you can prepare for these reality checks as soon as possible.
How To Get Better At Wasting Time: Study Breaks 101
Blog Feed - Fri, 05/16/2014 - 2:54pm
Adriana Aguilar, our fantastic Career Assistant
As week 10 draws near (cue melodramatic music), the library gets dangerously close to reaching capacity, our eating habits shift from an occasional veggie to eating taco bell for dinner at 1 AM every night, Dixon becomes nonexistent along with sleep and our stress levels reach heights that parallel Simba's when the stampede of wildebeests come careening for him. Before the all night cramming commences I thought it would be wise to revisit the idea of taking a study break to de-stress. In no way am I debunking the importance of a study break, because lets be real, you are some sort of superhuman if you have the ability to study for 8 hours straight without taking a breather. What I'm suggesting is that we rethink what is done during this precious time we set aside to reset our psyches.
More often than not study breaks consist of scrolling down our Instagram feed for "five minutes" which translates into going your celeb crush's Instagram pics while we envision ourselves as their spouse for the next hour. Now, this may be a study break you're perfectly OK with and every once in a while the occasional imagination of what it would be like to be Mrs. Efron is necessary. That being said, I've realized recently is that there are far better ways to spend a study break that may allow us to de- stress while we also take a break from finals studying. For instance, we all have a gazillion things on our weekly to-do lists, in which case very rarely do all of the tasks on our lists all get done. I bet you can guess where this is going. So, if you're studying at home and can no longer rehearse the circulation of blood through the chambers of the heart, or whatever it may be, instead of giving in to the black hole we call Facebook, or better yet, Pintrest, try knocking out a quick task on your to-do list. Some ideas may include…
- Putting a load of laundry in, or better yet, folding that already done load of laundry
- Cleaning out the inside of your car
- Cooking up those veggies before they go bad
- Finally taking off that chipped nail polish that's been lingering for weeks
- Changing that hallway light that went out months ago
- Cleaning your room
- Weeding your front yard as you soak up some vitamin D the natural way
- Unloading the dishwasher
- Preparing library snacks and dinners for finals week
These are just a few ideas, but I think you get my drift. In the end doing tasks that require little to no brainpower instead of lifelessly feeding into Facebook is a win-win for you. Your brain gets a break from cramming while you free up some time in the future by doing a task or two you would have had to do later. And honestly, it feels better. It feels better to transform your jungle of a yard overgrown with dandelions (into something that resembles an actual yard) than it does to browse your Facebook timeline to find out that your friends in California are already on summer break… It feels better to know that you have dinners prepped for finals week than it does to tweet "sleep is for the weak." In addition, when you take a study break in the wee hours of the night, getting up and doing something will most likely have a greater affect in waking you up and recharging your battery than sitting and staring at a computer screen would.
We have a tendency to procrastinate in ways that are essentially dead ends and instead we could be using that same time to procrastinate in ways that are beneficial to other areas of our lives. Imagine that, there is such a thing as positive procrastination, so long as it doesn't end up fully distracting you from your studying altogether. As a rule of thumb, your study break should take no longer than an hour max. That being said, these things may seem mundane, but one of the biggest struggles college students have is managing their time which is arguably one of, if not, the biggest contributor to stress. There is so much on our plates, one too many things we're trying to juggle, but if we simply change the way we "waste time" by habitually taking study breaks that incorporate brainless tasks, I think it's possible to be less stressed and more satisfied people as a result. So here's to cleaner rooms, shiny cars, library snacks and clean socks (for once)! Let's show week 10 what we're made of!

How to: Ask for a Letter of Recommendation
Blog Feed - Fri, 05/09/2014 - 10:57am
Whitney, our fabulous Career Assistant
Step 1: Write a list of possible recommenders – generally those requesting only want 2-3 letters of recommendation. However having a list of at least 5 will provide you with alternatives, especially if you know you are going to need tailored letters of recommendation in the future.
Step 2: Rank your best choices – list the possible recommenders that would be most helpful to not-so-helpful, based on the position you are applying for.
Step 3: Know all the details – write a note-to-self of when the letter of recommendation is due and what you wish to be included. It is important to give the writer at least a month's in advance notice of when you want the letter to be due. Also, before contacting the recommenders create a portfolio that includes 1) your resume 2) examples of work that you have done 3) a summary of yourself and 4) information on the position you are applying for. The recommender will be appreciative and more willing to write you a letter if you do this!
Step 4: Contact your top recommenders – politely ask if he/she would be willing to write you a letter of recommendation. If they are unsure or cannot make the commitment, use an alternative recommender.
Step 5: Follow through – send out your portfolio to your references and remind them of the due date. If you know your reference will be mailing your letter for you, make sure you provide them with a pre-addressed and pre-stamped envelope as a polite courtesy.
Step 6: Thank them – thank your reference personally and present them with a small gift for helping you achieve your potential job. Also, keep them updated on your successes, whether that is at your job or outside of the workforce. You will create a good image of yourself and also strengthen your network!

Haulage rope shall not be provided for use as a hoisting rope.
(4) Clearance.
The ratio between the rope diameter and the block, sheave or pulley tread diameter shall be such as to allow the rope strands to slide past each other and adjust themselves to the bend. In no case shall the sheave diameter be less than that recommended in the manufacturer's specifications for corresponding block, sheave and pulley diameters. Sheaves or pulleys with eccentric bores or with cracked hubs, spokes or flanges shall be repaired or removed from service.
(5) Protection.
Where manila rope or wire rope is used to support equipment and is brought over a sharp corner of steel, stone or other material liable to cut or cause undue abrasion to the manila rope or wire rope, it shall be protected at such points by the use of bagging, wooden blocks or other protective padding.
(6) Manila rope prohibited.

(3) Job or shop hooks and links, makeshift fasteners, made from bolts, rods, etc., or other such attachments shall not be used.
(4) Rated capacity (working load limit) for alloy steel chain slings shall conform to the values shown in "Table 8-1."
(5) Whenever wear at any point of any chain link exceeds that shown in "Table 8-2," the assembly shall be removed from service.
(E) Wire rope.
(1) "Tables 8-3 through 8-14" shall be used to determine the safe working loads of various sizes and classifications of improved plow steel wire rope and wire rope slings with various types of terminals.

(2) Protruding ends of strands in splices on slings and bridles shall be covered or blunted.
(3) Wire rope shall not be secured by knots, except on haul-back lines of scrapers.
(4) The following limitations shall apply to the use of wire rope:
(a) An eye splice made in any wire rope shall have no less than three full tucks. However, this requirement shall not operate to preclude the use of another form of splice or connection which can be shown to be as safe and which is not otherwise prohibited.
(b) Except for eye splices in the ends of wires and for endless rope slings, each wire rope used in hoisting or lowering, or in pulling loads, shall consist of one continuous piece without knot or splice.
(c) Eyes in wire rope bridles, slings, or bull wires shall not be formed by wire rope clips or knots.
(d) Wire rope shall not be used if, in any length of eight diameters, the total number of visible broken wires exceeds ten per cent of the total number of wires, or if the rope shows other signs of excessive wear, corrosion or defect.
(5) When U-bolt wire rope clips are used to form eyes, "Table 8-15" shall be used to determine the number of clips and the amount of rope to turn back. Spacing of clips shall be uniform between the loop and the dead end. When used for eye splices, the U-bolt shall be applied so that the "U" section is in contact with the dead end of the rope.
(F) Natural rope, and synthetic fiber.
(1) General.
When using natural or synthetic fiber rope slings, "Tables 8-16, 8-17, 8-18, and 8-19" shall apply.
(2) All splices in rope slings provided by the employer shall be made in accordance with fiber rope manufacturers' recommendations.
(a) In manila rope, eye splices shall contain no less than three full tucks, and short splices shall contain no less than six full tucks (three on each side of the centerline of the splice).
(b) In layed synthetic fiber rope, eye splices shall contain no less than four full tucks, and short splices shall contain no less than eight full tucks (four on each side of the centerline of the splice).
(c) Strand end tails shall not be trimmed short (flush with the surface of the rope) immediately adjacent to the full tucks. This precaution applies to both eye and short splices and all types of fiber rope. For fiber ropes under one-inch diameter, the tails shall project no less than six rope diameters beyond the last full tuck. For fiber ropes one-inch diameter and larger, the tails shall project no less than six inches beyond the last full tuck. In applications where the projecting tails may be objectionable, the tails shall be tapered and spliced into the body of the rope using no less than two additional tucks (which will require a tail length of approximately six rope diameters beyond the last full tuck).
(d) For all eye splices, the eye shall be sufficiently large to provide an included angle of no greater than sixty degrees at the splice when the eye is placed over the load or support.
(e) Knots shall not be used in lieu of splices.
