Dear CME-
According to the "Expanded Table" on your website, the final data for the 11/28/09 Gold Session was:
Volume 164,172 lots
Open Interest 501,234 lots – up 3,755 from the previous day.
The data distributed to for instance Reuters, however, showed
Volume 164,172 lots
Open Interest 488,722 lots – down 8,757 lots.
This very serious difference profoundly effects how one analyses the day's trade.
Could you not at least issue a statement as to which is right?
From the trusted John Brimelow:
Curried Bear on Menu?
In its worst foul-up yet, the CME circulated data today indicating that Wednesday's volume was 161,006 lots (as shown on the web site) but that open interest slumped 8,757 lots (27.23 tonnes) to 488,722 lots. The web site's final total was 501,234, up 3,755 lots (11.68 tonnes).
This makes a serious difference to how one interprets Wednesday's down $4.90 day. The former would suggest serious liquidation, the latter significant short selling. Today's action suggests the latter was the case.Anyone wanting to complain to the CME about their deploying false lightships could firstname.lastname@example.com. There has so far been no evidence there is a human at the other end. The Exchange should at least indicate which source is right.
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange responded to my complaint. Their response and my complaint are highlighted here:

|Dear Sirs:
I do not like what I see. You are reporting to Reuters figures on the open
interest on gold and silver which are different if you add all the months
On Thursday, I calculated and posted on my website the gold comex Oi had
reached 501,000 and yet you report to Reuters, 488000 (and change).
Data is critical for us. We always get the data 24 hours after the fact and
you still cannot report the data accurately.
You can say the same for silver.
The only explanation that I can see is that the CME wishes to engage to
total obvious devious reporting in order to disguise the sheer size of the
open interest.
In light of the other investigations going on with respect to the CFTC I
urge you to stop this false practice immediately and report the data
I also urge you with the technology on hand, you have the tools to report
the OI at the end of the trading day and not 24 hours later.
Harvey B Organ BScPhm MBA-
It is for this reason that I cannot report on the open interest until I know for sure if it is correct. It is very important in the analysis]
and I do not want to give a false impression as to what is transpiring.
We got the COT report for gold and silver.
Here is a summary for gold:
The gold Commitment of Traders report showed…
*The large specs reduced their longs by 13,918 contracts and reduced their shorts by 5,588.
*The commercials increased their longs by 3,081 contracts and reduced shorts by 10,933.
*The surprise was in the small spec category. They increased longs by 605 contracts and increased shorts by a substantial 6,289.
If you look closely you will see some liquidation by the specs of 13918 contracts as the raid on Monday and Tuesday of this week caused some of
the weaker longs to vacate. However you will notice that the shorts covered in two categories:
1. the long specs
2. and the commercials who covered by a huge 10933 contracts.
However, note that the new paper did not come from the commercials but from the small specs to the tune of 6289 contracts.
Somehow the commercials are realizing that the steam room is getting to too hot and that they had better lighten up on their shorts.
OK lets go to the days story.
Today, we saw a massive liquidation in stocks as investors were worried about earnings and the CIT bankruptcy and what effect
it would have on Main Street. (the report on the pending CIT bankruptcy is reported on in this commentary)
The huge drop on the Dow caused collateral damage to gold and silver shares, it caused a drop in yield on the bonds
and a huge drop in the CRB.
Here are some numbers for you to peruse:
The yield on the 10 yr T note fell to 3.39%.
The yen rose 1.52 to 90.
Crude oil fell $2.87 per barrel to $77.
The CRB lost 5.78 to 270.38.
The big dump I keep looking for in the DOW might be underway. It was hit hard, losing 250 to 9713. The DOG lost 44 to 2053.
OK lets start with the days big stories to cause such a massive sell-off in the Dow.
Here is the first story and it is a doozy!!
Citigroup shares slide after report on Q4 writedown
By: AFX | 30 Oct 2009 | 02:02 PM ET
NEW YORK, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Shares of Citigroup Inc tumbled on Friday after CNBC television reported Calyon's bank analyst Mike Mayo said the bank was likely to have a $10 billion fourth-quarter writedown of deferred tax assets. Shares last traded down 5.6 percent at $4.07.
John Williams expanded his alert issued on Thursday and late Friday on the state of the economy:
Updated Economic Outlook, GDP, Durable Goods, Home Sales
October 29, 2009
Recession Is Not Over
Quarterly GDP Growth Is Not Sustainable
With 92% of Growth in Nonrecurring Factors
Annual GDP Down 2.3% (5.7% SGS)
4th-Quarter GDP Should Resume
Quarter-to-Quarter Decline
Durable Goods Orders at 1997 Level
Help-Wanted Advertisng at New 58-Year Low
Note: quarterly GDP growth is not sustainable as 92% of the growth is in non recurring factors.
He stated that the real GDP using government's own figures is really down by 2.3% and not up by 3.4%.
He states that 4th quarter GDP should resume its descent.
Look at what he states for durable goods...it is at a level equal to 1997. Help wanted ads are non existant.
This report is a continuation of Thursday's report which showed a big increase in the Fed balance sheet and a huge
slowdown in M3. We also reported to you on this with the article from Ambrose Pritchard Evans.
This is JOhn William's conclusion: (he normally charges for his services but he thought that this was so important
he let it out for the public to see)
Economic Outlook Update: Economy Remains in Severe Recession. The general outlook for the U.S. economy continues to be for severe contraction, with the worst still ahead. The downturn will remain generally unresponsive to traditional stimuli, other than as seen in occasional blips from government giveaway gimmicks. The business contraction is structural in nature, tied to a lack of real growth in consumer income and liquidity constraints from contracting consumer credit. As a hyperinflation unfolds, the current circumstance will evolve into a hyperinflationary Great Depression. The Consumer Liquidity and the Depression special reports of September 14th of August 1st, respectively, hold and are included here by reference (available atwww.shadowstats.com).
OK lets see how personal spending effected the markets. At 8 30 am, this very important statistic showed in September that the consumer
stopped spending altogether. It dropped a huge .5% . (On an annual basis this would be 6%). The cash for clunkers had ended but we still have the $8000 first
time home buyers grant. Here is the report:
08:30 Sep Personal Income 0.0% vs. consensus 0.0%; Spending (0.5%) vs. consensus (0.5%)
Sep PCE Deflator (y/y) (0.5%) vs. consensus (0.5%). Sep PCE Core 0.1% vs. consensus 0.2%. Aug Personal Income revised to 0.1% from 0.2%; Spending revised to 1.4% from 1.3%.
* * * * *
U.S. personal spending falls 0.5 pct in September
WASHINGTON, Oct 30 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer spending fell in September for the first time in five months as the boost from a government auto incentive faded, data showed on Friday, adding to fears that consumers may be pulling back as they head into the last quarter of the year.
The Commerce Department said spending fell 0.5 percent, the largest decline since December, after an upwardly revised 1.4 percent increase in August. Consumer spending in August was previously reported to have advanced 1.3 percent. September's decline was in line with market expectations.
Consumer spending, which normally accounts for over two-thirds of U.S. economic activity, in August was bolstered by the popular "cash for clunkers" program that gave discounts on some new motor vehicle purchases.
The program, which ended in August, contributed to a jump in consumer spending in the third quarter and helped to pull the economy out of its worst recession since the 1930s…
Please remember that the consumer is 70% of GDP. The market had a sour taste in their mouth when this report was released.
Ok lets go to the next reports from government. We got releases on
1.employment cost index
2. Chicago Purchasing Managers Index
3.Michigan Confidence number.
Here are the reports:
08:30 Q3 Employment Cost Index 0.4% vs. consensus 0.4%
Q2 reading was 0.4%.
* * * * *
09:45 Oct Chicago Purchasing Manager's index 54.2 vs. consensus 49.0
Sep reading was 46.1.
* * * * *
US Midwest business index expands to 54.2 in Oct
NEW YORK, Oct 30 (Reuters) - Business activity in the U.S. Midwest expanded in October to the highest level since September 2008, a report showed on Friday.
The National Association of Purchasing Management-Chicago business barometer rose to 54.2 from 46.1 in September, versus analysts' expectations for 49.0.
A reading above 50 indicates expansion.
The employment component of the index fell to 38.3 from 38.8 in September. Prices paid fell to 48.6 from 51.3 and new orders rose to 61.4 from 46.3.
09:55 Oct Univ of Michigan Confidence final 70.6 vs. consensus 70.0
Oct preliminary reading was 69.4.
* * * * *
The employment cost index rising by .4% is getting a little inflationary. The Chicago Managers index is good as it indicates activity is picking up
in the midwest. However the employment component of the index fell which generally means if a recovery is on, it will be a jobless recovery. This is not good.
The Michigan Confidence number rose slightly in the month..nothing to get excited about.
However at 10 o'clock they released the national sentiment and instead of rising in fell badly:
U.S. consumer sentiment slips in October - survey
NEW YORK, Oct 30 (Reuters) - U.S. consumer sentiment slipped this month as Americans worried about their personal finances and focused on paying down debts, though confidence in a national recovery remained high, a survey showed on Friday.
The Reuters/University of Michigan Surveys of Consumers said its final index of sentiment for October slipped to 70.6, from 73.5 in September.
Overall consumer confidence remained at its highest level since September 2008, when it stood at 75. It collapsed to 57.3 in October 2008. This month's reading was also a touch above the median expectation of 70.0, according to a Reuters poll.
But while their view of the national economy improved, "consumers continued to voice very dismal assessments of their personal financial situation," the report said.
"These grim financial evaluations, coupled with intentions to increase savings and decrease their indebtedness, will limit any rebound in consumer spending."
The index of consumer expectations fell to 68.6 from 73.5, while the current conditions index edged up to 73.7 from 73.4.
The last manufacturing area to report is the Milwaukee area and lets see how they did:
10:00 Oct NAPM-Milwaukee 50.0 vs. consensus 57.0
Sep reading was 58.0.
* * * * *
This number is really bad. Manufacturing stopped all of sudden like one gigantic thud!!
Here is our report on our inflation outlook for commodities for next year:
U.S. Inflation to Appear Next in Food and Agriculture
While most mainstream economists such as Nouriel Roubini are warning of deflationary threats to the U.S. economy, it is our belief that massive price inflation has already begun. The Federal Reserve's policy of massive monetary inflation in 2009 has caused the Dow Jones to bounce over 50% from its low, oil to rise 100% from its low, and gold to surge to a new all time nominal high. One NIA co-founder just saw his health insurance premium rise 16% over a year ago; and the average tuition for a four-year public college increased this year by 6.5%.
Prices are rising all around us, yet agricultural commodities have for the most part been left behind and remain at historically depressed levels. Fundamentals for agriculture are improving on a daily basis. A worldwide shortage of farmers combined with food inventories falling to record lows is setting up the perfect storm for an explosion in agriculture prices. There is a huge opportunity today to invest at the ground-floor into what will likely be one of the biggest boom industries of the next several decades.
Wheat is currently down 60% from its all time nominal high set in 2008 and 80% from its inflation adjusted high set in the 1970s. Corn is currently down 50% from its all time nominal high set in 2008 and 75% from its inflation adjusted high set in the 1970s. Wheat and corn have only bounced 13% and 26% from their 52-week lows this year respectively. While sugar has faired much better and is now at a 28-year nominal high, sugar is still down 70% from its inflation adjusted high set in the 1970s.
With crude oil back above $80 per barrel, we will soon see a renewed interest in alternative energy. This will create increased demand for wheat, corn and sugar which are used to make ethanol and other biofuels. A massive rise in agriculture prices is just around the corner.
We receive countless emails on a weekly basis asking about if Real Estate is now a good investment and if rents will likely climb during hyperinflation. While rents will increase nominally during hyperinflation, they will plummet compared to agriculture. No longer will Americans eat more than most other countries, yet spend less of their income on food. When Americans are forced to pay more for food, it will take away from what they can spend on rent.
The average American consumer today spends approximately 30% of their income on housing and only 10% of their income on food. We expect these numbers to reverse in the years ahead as the U.S. dollar loses its purchasing power. In Germany during hyperinflation, rents fell from 30% to less than 1% of the average households' expenditures while food rose from 30% to a high of over 91%.
The U.S. is currently the world's largest exporter of wheat and corn and the fifth largest exporter of sugar. When American consumers purchase food at their local supermarket, they are competing against consumers from all around the globe. As the Federal Reserve prints trillions of dollars out of thin air and causes our currency to lose its purchasing power, Americans won't be able to afford to eat as much and farmers will be forced to increase their exports to countries with stronger currencies.
When it comes to an apartment in the U.S. that a landlord is trying to rent to a tenant, there is no global market to drive rent prices up. The rents landlords receive depend on the strength of the local U.S. economy. With unemployment continuing to surge and a huge glut of homes on the market, it is only a matter of time before real rent prices decline and become a smaller monthly expense than food.
While Americans will eat less in the years ahead, Chinese citizens will be able to afford to eat more. Despite China's rapidly growing economy, there are major food shortages in China. Chinese agriculture companies have a chance of becoming the market's biggest gainers of the next decade. Our last China agriculture stock suggestion gained over 83% after our profile in a little more than six months. We will be announcing our new China agriculture stock suggestion on Tuesday.

Many commented to me on the story that all the gold ever mined from the beginning of time until now will fit into 2 Olympic swimming pools.
That is true.
Here is the scientific proof of that:
fact check correct: all gold fits into 2.5 Olympic Pools
Quick fact check to prove, "Will all the gold in the world fill 2 Olympic sized swimming
19.30 g·cm-3
1 g/cm3 equals 1000 kg/m3
19,300 kilos per cubic meter for gold
1 kilogram = 32.1507466 troy ounce
620,509 troy oz. per cubic meter
1 tonne = 32 150.7466 troy ounce
19.3 tonnes per cubic meter, acts to check and prove the per oz. math is correct, as
19,300 kilos = 19.3 metric tonnes per cubic meter.
155,000 tonnes of gold mined in all of human history divided by 19.3 tonnes per cubic meter, equals 8031 cubic meters
Volume of an Olympic Swimming Pool?
25 meters by 50 meters by 2-3 meters deep= 25 x 50 x 2.5 = 3125 cubic meters
8031 cubic meters / 3125 cubic meters = 2.57 pools
Thus, all the gold in all the world, ever mined in all of human history, will fill 2.57
Olympic Sized swimming pools.
Since the depth of an Olympic Swimming pool can be deeper, and since the 2-3 meter depth is a minimum, all the gold in all the world would actually fit into one slightly
deeper than normal, Olympic Sized Swimming pool.

Wilbur Ross, the huge billionaire investor came out with this today. Wilbur Ross was selected by Obama to help purchase
the huge toxic assets on the balance sheet of the banks. It looks like Wilbur is not happy what he is seeing!!!:
Wilbur Ross Sees 'Huge' Commercial Real Estate Crash (Update3)
By John Gittelsohn and Thomas R. Keene
Oct. 30 (Bloomberg) — Billionaire investor Wilbur L. Ross Jr., said today the U.S. is in the beginning of a "huge crash in commercial real estate."
"All of the components of real estate value are going in the wrong direction simultaneously," said Ross, one of nine money managers participating in a government program to remove toxic assets from bank balance sheets. "Occupancy rates are going down. Rent rates are going down and the capitalization rate — the return that investors are demanding to buy a property — are going up."
U.S. commercial property sales are forecast to fall to the lowest in almost two decades as the industry endures its worst slump since the savings and loan crisis of the early 1990s, according to property research firm Real Capital Analytics Inc. The Moody's/REAL Commercial Property Price Indices already have fallen almost 41 percent since October 2007, Moody's Investors Service said Oct. 19.
Billionaire George Soros, speaking today at a lecture organized by the Central European University in Budapest, said a "bloodletting" may be coming for leveraged buyouts and commercial real estate.
"The American consumer will no longer be able to serve as the motor for the world economy," said Soros, 79.
We are now getting confirmation that the CIT bankruptcy will be announced on Sunday. The real question mark was whether
CIT will resume factoring to Main Street as a zombie financier or would it be put out of its misery!.
It looks like it will be an orderly bankruptcy but it will hurt Main Street big time. Here are the big stories on this issue:
Mr. Icahn will simply execute his normal business plan. Middle America is about to experience a total collapse.
Report: CIT to File Bankruptcy on Sunday
by CalculatedRisk on 10/30/2009 02:08:00 PM
From the WSJ: CIT, Icahn Reach Tentative Deal Over Lender's Restructuring
As part of further discussions with CIT, Mr. Icahn has agreed to back down while the company restructures in bankruptcy court. …
The company plans to file for bankruptcy in New York as soon as Sunday night or early Monday, said people familiar with the matter. CIT is poised to enter bankruptcy with enough creditor support to approve its reorganization plan and shorten its stay in Chapter 11 …
… CIT asked bondholders to vote on a prepackaged bankruptcy plan, which would give most bondholders new debt it values at 70 cents on the dollar, and all the equity in a restructured company.
This debt-for-equity swap makes the most sense and would allow CIT to continue to operate.

CIT's Swoon Hits Taxpayers
Bankruptcy Filing Expected in Days; Government Infusion of $2.3 Billion at Risk
The $2.3 billion in taxpayer money spent to save CIT Group Inc. is likely to be wiped out, as the lender prepares to file for bankruptcy protection in a high-stakes restructuring plan aimed at keeping the firm in business.
People familiar with the plan said CIT, a major lender to small businesses, intends to file for bankruptcy-court protection in New York within days, perhaps as early as Sunday or Monday. Financial firms such as CIT have historically been sold off or wound down after a Chapter 11 filing, for fear that customers will draw down lending lines and cause a ... (paid subscription)

If nothing earth shattering occurs, I will report on Monday.

Mansfield Town midfielder Lee Bell fears he will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Mansfield Town midfielder Lee Bell fears he will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury.
Bell damaged medial ligaments during last Saturday's game at Darlington and was forced off at half-time in the 2-1 win.
He will learn at the weekend whether he requires an operation, but is not expecting to play for the Stags again this term.
"I knew it was quite serious at the time, but I wanted to carry on playing," Bell told the club's official website.
Not looking good
"After talking to the medical people, it is not looking good. I think I will be out for the rest of the season.
"I can barely move my leg and I haven't slept because of the pain. I would say I will be out for a minimum of two months, which takes out most of the season.
"I am going to see a specialist at the weekend and there is a chance it could be operated on."
Bell has made 27 appearances for Mansfield since joining the League Two strugglers on a free transfer from Crewe Alexandra last summer.

Breathe Easy with Vitamin C
Asthma relief can be as simple as eating more fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants, according to numerous studies. Vitamin C, in particular, may soothe inflammation in the lungs of asthmatics who are often deficient in these free-radical-fighting compounds.
A natural antihistamine, vitamin C may also prevent exercise-induced asthma attacks if you take enough (1 to 2 grams) before working out.
An August 2005 study in the European Respiratory Journal showed that a group of 28 people with severe asthma had markedly lower levels of antioxidants in their blood compared with 53 people who had mild asthma and 43 who did not suffer from asthma at all.
An observational study done in Italy (April 2000) showed that asthmatic children may also benefit from eating more fruit. Researchers there noticed that kids who ate more kiwi and citrus fruits were less susceptible to asthma and wheezing. A year later, a follow-up study of 4,000 children still found eating fruit to be an effective antidote to most asthma symptoms.
While you don't want to hang up your inhaler (or your child's) just yet, do stock up on mandarins, kiwi, oranges and strawberries. They're a tasty way to up your "C" quotient and breathe easier.

A proposed Evansville city ordinance is in the works to set guidelines for how a landlord and police must respond when a tenant is found to be a nuisance.
The "Good Neighbor Ordinance" also lays out guidelines for automatic eviction which include charges of murder, rape, drugs or child molestation, just to name a few.
City Council member Stephanie Brinkerhoff-Riley says she's been collaborating with members of council, police and the local property management association.
She says the ordinance is far from final and she expects changes before its presented.
Evansville Police say it's too early to comment, but Monte Fetter, President of the Property Owners and Managers Association of Evansville, says the association can't support the ordinance in its current form.
He says it penalizes landlords and not the tenants, but he's optimistic something can be worked out.
Council President John Friend says it's a work in progress, "This is a product in process. Ok? And it's, it's... it may never, it may never get enacted. We don't know. It could be changed dramatically from what we have today," said Friend.
Council members are set to meet with Mayor Lloyd Wine on Friday morning to discuss the "The Good Neighbor Ordinance".
No word on when a final draft of the ordinance could go in front of city council.

Winderman: Why Fisher, Fredette, 11 other players get named in NBA suit
Aug 2, 2011, 8:12 PM EDT
They are, for now, the Lockout 13, the 13 players selected by the NBA to be listed as defendants in the class action complaint for declaratory relief filed Tuesday by the league with the United States District Court Southern District of New York. But why those 13? Because of union status. And proximity to the…
Tyreke Evans wants his role defined in Sacramento
Jul 31, 2011, 10:29 AM EDT
This is another problem that can in part be chalked up to the lockout. Tyreke Evans remains the guy that will make the King's offense go next year — he's finally healthy again — and now he's got an interesting potential backcourt mate in just drafted Jimmer Fredette. Except, Evans and Fredette basically play the same…
Isaiah Thomas' journey made into documentary
Jul 26, 2011, 10:38 AM EDT
Isaiah Thomas was selected No. 60 — the very last pick, Mr. Irrelevant — in the NBA draft. He fell that far because there are questions — he's small for an NBA point guard (5'10") and is not and explosive athlete at a position where the NBA is loaded with amazing athletes. That said, he…
Video: Jimmer Fredette has NBA range on his shot
Jul 20, 2011, 12:39 PM EDT
There remain plenty of questions about how Jimmer Fredette's game will translate to the NBA level. What was never in question was if he could shoot. He has range. As he showed at his Jimmer Camp, he has half court range. Not that coach Westphal wants him shooting from half court. First, not an efficient…
Fredette sees similarities between himself, Tim Tebow
Jul 15, 2011, 3:49 PM EDT
Is Jimmer Fredette the Tim Tebow of the NBA? Interesting question. Both were huge college stars with questions about how their games would translate to the next level. Both have a religious aspect to their popularity. Both are locked out right now. Tebow and Fredette also both are at the American Century Championships this weekend,…
Today's NBA or Europe roundup — Jimmer's staying
Jul 15, 2011, 2:23 PM EDT
Seems like every day one or more NBA players say they are open to the idea of playing overseas during the NBA lockout. While we have our doubts about how many will actually go (even if the lockout drags into the season), here's a roundup of who is saying and doing what in the last…
Video: Jimmer Fredette's brother raps
Jun 30, 2011, 6:32 PM EDT
As you may have heard by now, the NBA has decided that it will indeed lock out its players once the current collective bargaining agreement expires at 12:01 a.m. on July 1. You may also have heard about just how many aspects of league business will be affected by this lockout decision — basically, all…
Derrick Williams gamblers favorite to be Rookie of Year
Jun 27, 2011, 3:22 PM EDT
Kyrie Irving was the consensus No. 1 pick because of position and potential, but Derrick Williams — who comes into the league ready to score right away — might have a better rookie season. Which is why the bookmakers at Bodog.com made him the favorite to be the Rookie of the Year: Derrick Williams 9/2…
Jimmer fever in Sacramento might help bring new arena
Jun 27, 2011, 2:56 PM EDT
Jimmer Fredette, the most talked about player in this year's NBA draft, was selected No. 10 overall by the Sacramento Kings on Thursday. 30 minutes later, the Kings had a splash page with his likeness up ready to sell tickets on their website. Within another 30 minutes, Jimmer was trending worldwide on Twitter and was…
Kings to make a play for Aaron Brooks?
Jun 26, 2011, 11:00 AM EDT
One of the big questions after the Kings' draft-day moves was "Who is going to get the ball to all these guys?" They traded for John Salmons (21% usage) to go with Marcus Thornton (25% usage), and Tyreke Evans (25 percent usage), then drafted Jimmer Fredette, who's not a playmaker and who's biggest contribution is…
Sacramento is very excited for the young man who John Salmons will be stealing shots from
Jun 25, 2011, 9:30 PM EDT
I'm starting to feel like Jimmer Fredette is the NBA equivalent of "Snakes on a Plane." You either get it and think it's completely awesome, or you don't, and think it's completely stupid. Sacramento Kings fans? Well, they're much like the Alamo Drafthouse Theater in Austin where I saw the opening of "Snakes on a…
NBA Draft day trade wrap-up… because we all got confused
Jun 24, 2011, 11:34 AM EDT
There was a point while putting up PBT's pick-by-pick updates through the draft that I thought every pick on the board started with "He was selected for Team X as part of a trade…" To help sort it all out, here is a breakdown of all the draft day trades. • Bobcats, Bucks, Kings big…
Suns' GM cites toughness, intangibles as reasons for drafting Markieff Morris
Jun 24, 2011, 10:27 AM EDT
The Phoenix Suns selected Markieff Morris with the 13th overall pick in Thursday's NBA draft, and by all accounts, he was the player they wanted at that spot. While the team had interest in players like Tristan Thompson and Jimmer Fredette, they weren't likely to be available by the time the Suns were on the…
Amick: Teams expect Kings to take Jimmer with the #10 pick
Jun 23, 2011, 5:05 PM EDT
More stuff from Sports Illustrated's Sam Amick, who's been on fire today: Rival teams now expect the Kings to take Jimmer Fredette at No. 10. Taking Fredette would have some benefits for the Kings. He would help space the floor for Tyreke Evans and DeMarcus Cousins, both of whom are nearly unstoppable when they operate…
Odds on the NBA Draft… if you're a betting man
Jun 20, 2011, 8:01 PM EDT
Gambling, the thing that drives horse racing and the NFL. (What, you don't think fantasy leagues and weekly pools help the NFL's popularity?) If you're more an NBA guy, how about betting on the NBA Draft? The fine folks at Bodog sent over their odds on the NBA draft, and there are some interesting lines…
Report: Knicks trying to trade up to get Jimmer Fredette
Jun 20, 2011, 2:41 PM EDT
Jimmer Fredette and how he fits in the NBA divides scouts and fans, but there is one thing almost all agree on — he's a better fit in a wide-open offensive system where he would have more of a green light. For example, Mike D'Antoni's system with the New York Knicks. Which explains why ESPN's…
Jimmer Fredette will go in the lottery… but will he succeed?
Jun 20, 2011, 8:46 AM EDT
General managers came out of the NBA Draft Combine saying Jimmer Fredette was brilliant in the interviews. Then he has gone into a series of workouts for teams and impressed by holding his own against other top point guards in the draft. He's tried his best to answer the many questions about how his game…
Charlotte Bobcats not brave enough (read: too smart) to draft Jimmer Fredette
Jun 19, 2011, 5:00 PM EDT
If Jimmer Fredette's name drops on down to the No.9 spot in Thursdays draft, it can just keep on sliding, the Bobcats want no part of it. From the Charlotte Observer: The team has shuttled about two dozen players through Charlotte for workouts. Fredette has not been among them and isn't on the schedule for…
NBA Draft "green room" invite list reaches 15
Jun 18, 2011, 4:29 PM EDT
If you've seen the NBA Draft, then you know how this works. The top prospects that the league feels are likely to be lottery selections, and even a few who may be chosen shortly thereafter, are invited to spend the evening in a special "green room" area with friends and family before making the walk…
Projecting Jimmer Fredette, with numbers
Jun 17, 2011, 9:00 PM EDT
Jimmer Fredette was a great college player and something of a folk hero during his time at BYU, but nobody can really seem to agree on what he'll do in the NBA. Will he be the next Mark Price? The next Steph Curry? The next B.J. Armstrong? Or the next Adam Morrison? It's hard to…
Ironically, Brandon Knight says he wants Kyrie Irving
Jun 17, 2011, 12:47 PM EDT
Brandon Knight has been avoiding going head-to-head in workouts against the other top guards in the run-up to next week's NBA draft. If you want to see how he looks against Kemba Walker, pull out the take of the Kentucky against UConn Final Four matchup, because you will not be seeing it in a workout.…
Jimmer Fredette has great workout in Utah
Jun 15, 2011, 7:55 PM EDT
Former BYU sensation and current draft prospect Jimmer Fredette recently had a draft workout with his hometown Utah Jazz, and all indications are that it went great. Brian T. Smith of the Salt Lake Tribune has the report: The Jimmer Fredette Circus arrived Wednesday in Salt Lake City. The show was packed; the scene was…
Character matters, but let's not go too far, draft personnel.
Jun 11, 2011, 9:00 AM EDT
Look, I'm no friend to the college game. 30% shooting, sloppy ball-handling, perimeter-pass-perimeter-pass-perimeter-pass-contested-jumper ball is not my forte (even if that sounds a lot like the Finals… zing!). I think that just because you look like a great player in college means squat at the next level. The NBA is simply that much more competitive,…
PBT Thursday morning one liners
Jun 2, 2011, 11:39 AM EDT
The Knicks are taking a long look at BYU star Jimmer Fredette in a workout Thursday. He can score and would be a good fit in an up-and-down system like the Knicks run. Here is Jimmer talking about Jimmer, and how he thinks he can defend at the NBA level. Scouts are not sold on…
Jazz "seriously thinking" about drafting Jimmer Fredette
May 26, 2011, 9:31 PM EDT
You think it's all about the basketball, what happens on the court. It's not, basketball is a business and the Utah Jazz may be caught a little in the middle of it when it comes to the NBA draft and Jimmer Fredette. The Jazz have the No. 3 and No. 12 pick and there are…

Water nationalization: network access, quality, and health outcomes
AbstractIn the case of natural monopolies there tends to be a trade-off between a higher quality of output provided by private firms, and a better access for poor consumers provided by public firms. This partly reflects differences in objectives on the part of both private and public firms. The former tend to be profit-driven, whereas the latter tend to base decisions on political agendas (Chong and Lopez de Silanes, 2005). The objective of this paper is to explore the impact on network access, water quality, and health outcomes of Uruguay's nationalization of water services. An important advantage of focusing on nationalization rather than privatization is that it avoids selection bias due to cherry-picking by firms or governments at the time of privatization. Indeed, nationalization in Uruguay affected all previously privatized firms, as water was declared "part of the public domain." Results suggest that the change in ownership led to an increase in the sanitation rate, as well as improvements in water quality. It was also accompanied by a decline in water-related child mortality, although this latter effect tends not to be statistically significant across specifications.

To the Editor: Time for sacrifice
President Barack Obama's debt reduction committee has just completed their recommendations for restoring solvency and saving this great nation from financial ruin. The truth is that our country has been living far beyond its means for far too many years. We have financed our lifestyle with a $13 trillion unsustainable debt. Thirty-seven cents of every dollar is spent for interest on this debt. Our entire military operation could be financed with the interest.
Yet, almost before the ink was dry, we heard cries from the left and right that the recommendations are totally unacceptable. The cries of "not me" are coming from all directions. Over the years, we have learned that "political expediency" is not compatable with "common sense." It is time to put political advantage aside in favor of what we know in our hearts is right.
I won't like giving up a part of my lifestyle; however, I can adjust, and if it creates a better future for my children and grandchildren, I would do it in a minute. Every American must step up to the plate, share in the pain and make the sacrifice that will return our nation to greatness.

Miami beat South Florida 6-3 Saturday on a 36-yard field goal from Jake Wieclaw as time expired in Tampa. What was strange about the field goal is what transpired prior to Wieclaw's attempt.
Typically opposing coaches will call a timeout to try and "ice" the kicker. You know, they'll freeze time and make the kicker think for a few minutes about having the game in his hands. The hope is that the kicker lets the pressure get to him, and then he shanks the attempt.
Well Miami coach Al Golden used some sort of reverse psychology.
As LBS contributor Aaron pointed out to us, Golden had his team surround Wieclaw and jump around him wildly during each of South Florida's timeouts. The scene on Miami's sideline was similar to what happens pregame when teams try to pump themselves up. The tactic worked, and Wieclaw nailed the field goal to win the game.
Here is a video of the winning kick, and it includes both timeouts where Miami mobbed Wieclaw to keep him loose:

TCU's defense could cause problems for Texas, but the Longhorns' once horrific defense has shown improvement the past three games (15.3 points per game). Texas shouldn't be threatened by TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin. 2920 Saturday, Nov. 24 8 p.m. ET (ABC)No. 1 Notre Dame (11-0) at USC (7-4) USC has nothing left to play for other than to ruin its rival's season. Maybe that means the Trojans won't play as tight as they have for most of the season. But it's asking a lot of redshirt freshman backup quarterback Max Wittek to lead the offense against an outstanding Notre Dame defense that's allowed just one touchdown drive of 60 yards or longer all season.2416 Noon ET (ABC)No. 20 Michigan (8-3) at No. 4 Ohio State (11-0)Long before the season ever started, before we knew anything about either team's record, I believed Urban Meyer would win his first Michigan game. It just so happens the Buckeyes wound up 11-0. Michigan's new offensive wrinkle, with Devin Gardner at quarterback and Denard Robinson playing everywhere, will keep things interesting, but Braxton Miller will eventually take over.3430 3 p.m. ET (Pac-12)No. 5 Oregon (10-1) at No. 16 Oregon State (8-2)The Beavers don't come in with quite as stingy a run defense as Stanford, but Oregon State's unit isn't bad (23rd nationally). More notably, the receiving tandem of Markus Wheaton and Brandin Cooks (202.5 combined yards per game) can exploit Oregon's thin secondary. But Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota will rebound from last week's loss with a big performance to win a shootout.4240 3:30 p.m. ET (ABC)No. 6 Florida (10-1) at No. 10 Florida State (10-1)Now this is what a Florida-FSU game should look like. The Gators, to their credit, have found a way to win 10 games without the threat of a passing attack (6.6 yards per attempt, 89th nationally). That's not going to work against Florida State's top-ranked defense (3.7 yards per play). 'Noles quarterback EJ Manuel will be under heavy pressure, but he'll make enough plays to win.207 3:30 p.m. ET (ESPN)No. 22 Oklahoma State (7-3) at No. 14 Oklahoma (8-2)The Cowboys' offense is as explosive as ever (7.2 yards per play, No. 2 nationally), but the big difference from last year's Big 12 title team is that Oklahoma State has gone from No. 1 in turnover margin to No. 92. A few bad plays can swing things against the Sooners and quarterback Landry Jones (66.7 completion percentage, 3,245 yards, 24 touchdowns, eight interceptions).4238 6:30 p.m. ET (FOX)No. 11 Stanford (9-2) at No. 15 UCLA (9-2) This may be the toughest game to call of the entire season to date. Both teams are peaking right now, but both are coming off huge wins in highly anticipated games and could very well come out flat. With a close call like this, it's generally better to go with the better defense. Stanford's defense is ranked No. 11 nationally (4.6 yards per play); UCLA's is ranked No. 64 (5.6).2723 7 p.m. ET (ESPN)No. 13 South Carolina (9-2) at No. 12 Clemson (10-1)Normally, in SEC-ACC clashes, my rule is to always pick the SEC. But South Carolina does not inspire confidence right now. It struggled for three quarters against Wofford, and Marcus Lattimore is gone and defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is hobbled. Clemson star Tajh Boyd won't put up 400 yards on an elite defense, but South Carolina doesn't have the firepower to keep up with the Tigers.2320 3:30 p.m. ET (CBS)Auburn (3-8) at No. 2 Alabama (10-1)Yes, I'm basically giving myself a point here. But it's worth it just to avoid the 400 angry e-mails I would get from Alabamans if I left the Iron Bowl out of this week's picks. I've got no deep analysis here. The Tide are really good. The Tigers are really bad. Auburn may play above itself for a quarter or so because of the rivalry atmosphere, but its offense has shown no sign of challenging an elite defense.426 *UPSET SPECIAL* Saturday, Noon ET (BTN)Indiana (4-7) at Purdue (5-6) All the Boilers need to do is beat their rival to reach a bowl game and (possibly) save coach Danny Hope's job. The teams have had nearly identical Big Ten seasons: Both beat Illinois and Iowa, gave Ohio State a scare and lost to everyone else. Still, it fees like the Hoosiers' program is on the upswing. This is their chance to build some offseason momentum.3431 Record Last Week: 6-4 Record This Season: 71-49 Tweet Story0 Share Story0 Comment0 More Share Story0 Share Story0 Stumble It0 Print0

Last week, top Obama administration officials joined representatives from leading health systems at a White House event to discuss advances in sustainability across the health care sector.
The event's attendees represented organizations and companies that are blazing a path to sustainability in the healthcare sector – a sector that has been criticized for its lack of effort on the sustainability front in the past.
For example, a 2010 survey conducted by the Corporate Realty, Design & Management Institute found that the majority of healthcare professionals believe hospitals are in dire need of sustainability managers. The survey also found that hospitals were neglecting energy and water efficiency programs, lagging behind other industries where sustainability was becoming a core competency of facility professionals.

On the Way to Paramedic in Northern VA
I don't know how much more good news this old carcass can stand.
It's all these cigars. DTs gave up smoking over a year ago, April methinks, yet here he is once again with a ten dollar cigar dangling from his smirking yap, dropping ash into a tumbler of single malt as he celebrates yet again, the second time in three or so weeks.
Cigars and Bushmill's is just something we medics do, on occasion, you see.
Yes, tremble, Northern Virginia - DTs is a medic. Not a paramedic, mind you - although the classes and clinicals and requirements are met for that lofty post, the street time has not yet been concluded. The test taken (and passed, yes, thank you, thank you) was for Intermediate level, or what some disdainfully term "paramediate". Philistines. I refuse to speak with them.
For is it not Written, in Protocols 1:15, "Verily, the Intermediate shalt do all that a Paramedic may do, yea even unto twelve leads and rapid sequence intubations, and all that may be done unto every manner of creature that dials 911, even the porcupine."
The Book of Protocols has some strange stuff. Nevertheless, it is a Good Book.
In this Age of the Internet we were fortunate to find advance information concerning our test status from the NREMT web site. Otherwise, it'd be another week or three before the mail brought my rocker patch. As it is, my frazzled nerves are sooner on the mend.
Could that be it? Have studies been done? Is the "celebratory" drink nothing more than what was claimed in the 20's advertising, a "nerve tonic"? I refuse to condone excuses for excessive drinking, but think (if that be the word, at this time) that a Saint Bernard be-necklaced with a small keg is perhaps a fine mascot for EMS folk everywhere.
As for me, I shall now gently stew. Fear not, there be many steps left until DTs roams the streets with IV needle in hand and paddles at the ready.
Paramedic be in me sights now, however, me hearties.
"Que pasa?" asks DTs as he identifies the patient in the group. "What's going on?"
The patient glances around for support. "No hablo Ingles," says the patient to DTs.
"Que molestias tiene?" asked DTs. "What's bothering you?"
"No hablo Ingles," came the reply. Various nods in the silent group. It is true.
"Ooookay. Um, donde le dolor?" "Where is the pain?"
"No hablo Ingles," again.
"Habla Ingles algien aqui?" "Does anyone here speak English?" asks DTs plaintively.
Quoth the patient, "No hablo Ingles".
Sigh. Is my pronunciation that bad? Must look up "I don't care about immigration status" and keep that handy.
Maddog Medic posted recently about a patient taking Peanutbutterballs, when actually the patient meant Phenobarbital. This got me to thinking about all the other ingenious pharmaceuticals which patients are taking, and the conditions they treat.
In Pharmacology one is taught that drugs have chemical names, such as H2O; generic names such as "water", and trade names such as "Evian". And now add to that patient names.
Now, before anyone accuses me of sneering at others, know that everyone does this. Kleenex and Xerox used to be specific brands of nosewipes and photocopiers, but nowadays have passed into the "hand me a kleenex" and "hey, xerox this will ya?" lexicography. We're all guilty of making up our own terminologies for things, then, or at least using the terms thought up by others. Which makes sense. If someone hands you a document and asks you to Xerox it, off you go to photocopy it. If on the other hand they're being all proper and righteous about their particular copier brand and ask you to Canon the document, what're you gonna do? Shoot it out of something, which is not at all what they wanted. "Canon'd your document, went fifty feet!"
So everyone to some degree uses the wrong term, but the important thing is that everyone understands what is meant. It isn't communication until everyone understands what's being said. Rarely have I come up to someone and said, "Dude, you been doin' 3-benzoyloxy-8-methyl-8-azabicyclo [3.2.1]octane-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester?" Very rarely. If they answer yes, they're probably high. Usually, I say "cocaine".
A patient taking "water pills" usually means some diuretic, generally lasix. Lord only knows when they tell you they have "lots of vitamins from the doctor". Thankfully there is some underlying human need to lump this stuff together, on the nightstand, in the bathroom or kitchen where it can be swept into a bag and brought along. People whose homes otherwise show no underlying sense of order will have their medications together in one spot.
Patients name not only their medications but will also name their conditions. The variations are many, and strongly influenced by patient demographics. Just remember, "I have sugar" means the patient is a diabetic. "Gimme some sugar" means the patient wants a kiss - not recommended.
Our call was in the wee hours to a retirement community for a "difficulty breathing". This is Bad Juju - ya gotta breathe - so we went loud, fast and flashy. Our closest medic was on another call, so I noted that the next available medic coming in was from two dues over.
Arrive on scene, whip out the cot, toss a Lifepak, airway and aid bags onto it and begin rolling inside. The security guy let us in and told us the floor. No sign of the medic yet, so let the elevator doors slide closed and get there.
Navigating a maze of silent corridors, second-guessing ourselves at each intersection. We finally run into someone who led us the rest of the way to the room.
A nurse stood between our patient's bed and an oxygen concentrator - a machine that drags O2 out of room air and concentrates it into a mask or nasal cannula.
Our patient was very elderly but looked surprisingly well. The patient's skin was pink and dry - good circulation and oxygenation may be implied there. The patient was laying flat in bed - not sitting up gasping for breath, nor propped up with pillows. I greeted the patient and she replied in full sentences, no wheezing, and her replies were oriented and proper. Eyes PERL, smile and grips equal bilaterally, good distal PMS. Hmm.
Despite the presence of the concentrator (which was turned off) the patient had no mask or cannula on. Oxygen saturation levels confirmed the patient's apparent O2 levels - 95+%. Lung sounds clear all fields, good tidal volumes, patient is calm and seems fine.
The patient did not want to go with us to the hospital because she had all kinds of things planned for the day. Thinking of giving the medic a break, DTs raises his radio and cancels the medic, then begins talking the patient into getting checked out. The medic, we hear over the radio, acknowledges and tells the dispatcher that they're out of service for a while, restocking or some such. (Old hands can see exactly what's coming.)
Finally, the patient agrees to come with us to the hospital for a checkout. DTs asks the nurse, "Say, by the way, who called 911? Was it you or the patient?" "Oh, I did," says the nurse, "When I found her slumped on the toilet."
"The you what okay start over" stutters DTs.
"I was making rounds, and the patient was slumped on the toilet. Her pulse ox was 64%. I put her on oxygen and got her to bed."
"Well well." says DTs. "And you took the patient off the oxygen...?"
"Just a second before you came through the door."
Okay, well, that explains the lovely high O2 sat we got, and the patient's color. Straining on the toilet is a classic path to heart attack ("grunting" activates the vagal nerve, which slows the heart rate.) And when your heart stops, well, you might just stop breathing too.
Oh shit oh dear. And Yankees in the cellar.
The patient is on our cot, we're ready to go. Patient still looks and sounds great, strong regular pulses, good sats, clear lung fields... DTs is torn. We can be at the ER by the time any medic can get to us, so that decides the path.
We'll go ahead and take her, but damn! I wish I could start a line, and put her on the cardiac monitor. I want that O2 sat level up to 100%, so I bump the liters per minute twice en route. Hold hands the whole way - DTs has a less scientific but equally accurate pulse monitor built into his fingertips. Strong and regular. Keep the chitchat flowing - note to field providers, hearing about your patient's grandchildren is a cheap and easy airway monitor.
Transport was uneventful (thankfully) and the ER cardiologist found no problems. Still, scary stuff.
Lessons learned: 1) Never send the medic home unless you are one; 2) Never assume anything re the patient, disposition, etc. 3) Patients who might require CPR are far scarier than patients on whom one is performing CPR already.
Testing is complete. Now we play the waiting game (but as Homer Simpson says, "The waiting game sucks! Let's play Hungry Hungry Hippos".)
Ah, the National Registry tests. For those unfamiliar with it, a brief outline:
EMS Providers, at the Basic, Intermediate, and Paramedic levels, do lots of "doctor stuff" for people we literally just met. We are of course not doctors, and so a minor legal problem is created, to whit: "That feller done said he an EMT and pulldied-off mah armbone! Who do I sue?"
That problem divides into two or more parts, the more salient being, 1) How much care can we provide? and 2) Who says so? The parts are interlinked.
Nah, even briefer than that, come to think of it.
It all boils down to, "How much do you think you know, how much can you prove you know, and who's going to take the blame if you-god-forbid-f-someone-up?"
Different states allow different provider levels to do different things. Within that allowance, each county or region has an OMD who is the "doctor's license" behind all we do. Some OMDs want you to put 'em in the bambulance and bring 'em to the ER - that's it, no matter your training. Other (need I add, cooler) OMDs allow field RSI - rapid sequence intubation - where we chemically paralyze the patient to allow us to secure his airway. It all depends.
And so, the National Registry. Their written test is carefully crafted to obscure the answers. You know, you can sometimes take a test and walk out knowing you aced it? Well, not the NREMT tests you don't, baby. It is Obfuscation, raised to the highest form of art - and it's multiple-choice. Some keen minds at work behind that biatch.
The practical tests are nightmarish as well, especially for those of us who run calls. We have a certain way of doing things in the field. This is not the NREMT Way. Boo hoo - you fail.
And, do we miss the written or practical tests, we are never told why. "The NREMT is a testing and certification agency, not a training agency. If you fail a test, go see the folks who trained you, we won't tell you why."
So: The practicals I did pass, 'cuz they let you know that on the day you take them. From 07:30 to 17:00, but take them and pass them I did. Had to retake Static Cardiology and Trauma Assessment - I may have got a rhythm wrong on the cardiology but I'll be damned if I know where I screwed up a trauma assessment - but a single "redo" is allowed on test day and both my redos went well. Or the fact that DTs can look like a Margaret Keane painting and reveal the Pathetic Woeful Creature Within. And I told each of my testers that I wasn't allowed home until I passed. Just kidding - the folks aren't heartless but they are very professional, local Paramedics who were moonlighting as NREMT testers that day.
It remains to be seen about the written. Three weeks or thereabouts before anyone hears about that.
If all goes well, a fat packet including a rocker for DTs EMS patch, indicating "I" status, will arrive. After which time does begin precepting for an "I" position - in some counties this can be 12-18 months under field supervision. Good times.
Testing time.

Eye Health Center
Best Glaucoma Treatments Still a Puzzle
By Maureen Salamon
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, Feb. 18 (HealthDay News) -- Drugs and surgery can lower the hallmark inner-eye pressure characteristic of glaucoma -- the second-leading cause of blindness in the United States. But research still hasn't identified the best ways to prevent significant vision loss and improve patient satisfaction, according to a prominent government medical group.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) reviewed dozens of studies and collective reviews on open-angle glaucoma, which accounts for about 90 percent of all cases, concluding there's inadequate evidence to directly compare the effectiveness of medical, surgical or laser treatments.
The task force, comprised of 16 independent experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine, also said it couldn't determine whether glaucoma screening for adults without previous vision problems prevents blindness or enhances long-term health.
"We know that treatments are effective, but we don't know enough to say treatment A is definitely better than treatment B," said task force co-vice chair Dr. Albert Siu, director of geriatric research, education and the clinical center at James J. Peters VA Medical Center in the Bronx, N.Y. "What we do know is that these treatments are effective in reducing the development and progression in small losses of [peripheral vision]. What isn't clear is how this translates into reducing vision problems or vision quality of life."
The task force report is published Feb. 19 in Annals of Internal Medicine.
Open-angle glaucoma affects about 2.5 million Americans, primarily seniors, older blacks and those with a family history, the task force said. Often symptomless, the condition is diagnosed with a combination of tests that show degenerative changes in the optic nerve head and a loss of peripheral vision.
Complicating diagnosis, however, is the fact that many people with open-angle glaucoma don't suffer from characteristically increased pressure in the inner eye (called intraocular pressure), and not all with elevated pressure go on to develop glaucoma. The condition develops over years and has a highly variable course, with some people never progressing to visual problems.
The dozens of collective reviews and studies on glaucoma treatments analyzed by the USPSTF reported mixed results. Some evidence suggested surgical treatment was slightly more effective than drugs at decreasing intraocular pressure and protecting against worsening peripheral vision loss. Treatment side effects -- such as eye redness from topical medications -- were common, and surgery can raise the risk of adverse effects such as cataracts, infections and bleeding.
One expert not associated with the study gave his reaction.
"We could say for sure there are interventions for lowering intraocular pressure . . . but that had better be true. We didn't need this study to tell us that lowering intraocular pressure tends to slow the progression of disease," said Dr. Louis Pasquale, co-director of the glaucoma center at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary, in Boston. "What this study is saying is there are many ways of lowering eye pressure and we don't know which one is best for minimizing visual disability and maximizing patient happiness while they're being treated for glaucoma."

1994 by the American Psychiatric Association
The early argument for caring for the insane in general hospitals arose in the late 1800s in the context of criticisms of the asylum made by neurologists and some psychiatrists. The movement in support of general hospital psychiatry gained ground within psychiatry as the modernization of the general hospital made it a more attractive work site for physicians. By the second decade of this century, a newly independent discipline of hospital administration was providing an audience for psychiatrists who wanted to make the medical and financial case for the value of psychiatric care in the general hospital. Although in the 1930s only a fraction of general hospitals included a "department for mental patients," general hospital psychiatric treatment had ceased to be only a rhetorical or experimental concept and was fast becoming a practical program of treatment.
