A lot of computer labs. Almost always computers available
Help Is Everywhere – Help is always available at UCF in many different forms, there are study groups, the professors are always willing to help, and on-campus resources such as SARC that provide free tutoring, and supplemental instruction sections.
Health & Safety:
Super Safe – I have never seen an incident besides an auto accident on campus. I feel completely safe coming to and going from campus.
Party Scene:
I must say, the nightlife at UCF is pretty awesome. The majority of clubs and parties are for the 18 and older crowd. One of the things that I applaud UCF on is having free public transportation on the weekends at late night hours. The "Knightlynx" helps students without a form of transportation get out and actually have a nightlife safely. It also reduces the amount of drunk students driving home after the club or parties. Great Job UCF! As far as throwing a house party on off campus housing goes, it is definitely a no go. The police or neighborhood security will shut it down in a matter of minutes.
Health & Safety:
Campus Crime – No matter what hour of the day it may be, I have never experienced a moment where I have had a perilous feeling on UCF's campus. Even on a late night stroll, there is enough lighting and police officers that circulate the campus to assure its well being. Also, even if there were to be any suspicious activity or any campus crimes, UCF will go beyond measures to inform students, faculty, and staff of the occurred incident, as well as prevention and an increase of security.
The weather has little effect on UCF. The dorms are all close enough to the classes that when there is stormy weather it is not so bad. It never snows, only the occasional thunderstorm to worry about.
Fast and Easy Registration – The registration at UCF is great. They give you plenty of time to register and if you are in good academic standing you get to register for classes significantly sooner than others. The online process is fast and user friendly, if you know what classes you want to take it should be a very quick and rather painless effort.
Very Flexable Classes – I am in the Business Administration College and I am satisfied thus far. The workload is tough but the classes and exams for said classes are the most flexible I have ever seen. Many Classes are available online which you can take at your own pace and almost all of them give you a one week window in which to do your test.
The computers are UCF are fast and there are plenty of them. Naturally, around finals the computers become a bit more scarce and one may have to wait a few minutes before a computer becomes available. The printing lab is efficient at what they do. The only problem I really see is connecting to their network from a personal computer. Normally it is fast but it has some reliability issues. The connection in some parts of the school are slow to not available. All that aside, I would say i am very satisfied with UCF's computers
Campus Food:
The overall quality of the food is decent with something really good popping up on the menu every now and then. While the food isn't bad most of the time, it usually isn't anything to get excited about.
Campus Housing:
Great Freshman Experience! I highly recommend living in the dorms if you are a Freshman! it is a great experience. fun, convenient, and you get the real college experience. I had a lot of fun! just make sure to have a study place like the library if you find it hard to study in your dorm. I lived in Libra and I highly recommend it. Yes, it is one of the older dorm communities, but it is has the best proximity to everything on campus.
Majority Is White – the majority are white students, but we do have a fair share of asian, black, and hispanic students as well. overall, i would say we are more diverse than many universities.
Parking Is Not Good – The parking situation at UCF is not very good. The parking garages are always packed and a long walk from where you need to go.
Education Is Amzing – I love being apart of the Education program. Elementary education is the best Major I could have picked.
The Teachers – The proffesors at my school are excellent. They provide pleanty of classroom attention necessary to do well. They also provide excellent office hours for students.
Elementary Education – The Education program at UCF is the best program I have come into contact with. The teachers are amzing and the curriculum is great.
Big Classes Hurts Personalized Teaching – The professors know what they're talking about, but it isn't always easy to speak to them one-on-one. Many of the courses have hundreds of students enrolled. Registration can be a nightmare early on because you will be the last to register after the seniors, juniors, etc. There is a good amount of tutoring for the classes people struggle in. The library is crowded on the bottom floor, move up and it gets progressively quieter and the crowd thins.
Big Classes Hurts Personalized Teaching – Most classes, especially in the beginning have hundreds of kids enrolled in them. There can be a big wait to having one question answered by the professor personally. The workload is heavy at times, usually when professors cluster tests around the same times. The curriculum is interesting, although the prerequisites seem to get in the way of taking the more interesting courses. There is plenty of tutoring and help available to get you through your classes. And by the time you're a junior, there is a lot of assistance available to get you into an undergraduate research or internship position.
Health & Safety:
Safe on Campus, Outside - Not So Much – Usually you won't be alone on campus, which makes campus feel safe. There are emergency call stations around that you can just push a button and it calls the police. Outside of school campus, I'd be careful at night. Remember, you're in Orlando and not everybody is a nice, college student. Lock your doors all the time. I've heard of robberies happening during the day because people leave the door open.
Choose Your Garage Carefully – A parking decal does not mean you have a personal parking spot, it only allows you to park in the limited amount of spaces available without being ticketed/towed. Certain garages are always busy and it can take 45 minutes sometimes to find parking. If you are short on time and don't mind walking a bit further to get to your class, you can almost always find parking in garages more on the outskirts of campus.
People from all colleges, ethnicity, and religion coexist in UCF. A game of ultimate Frisbee next to a sword fighting Medieval club is just one of many common sights on campus.
Campus Housing:
Freshmen Are Priority – UCF concentrates on getting new students so much, they alienate later years. Seniors have little to no choice in on campus housing.
Local Area:
So Much to Do – Orlando is one of the biggest cities known. There is so much to do with so little to drive. There are many plazas that have a lot of shopping centers as well as restaurants. If shopping centers aren't in the agenda for the day, there are other places that have fun and interesting activities to do such as a place called BOING. This is a place that is filled with trampolines where you can interact in different activities. Also if you do not mind driving 30 to 45 minutes you can visit some of the most biggest attractions and theme parks. Universal Studios, Disney, and Seaworld are some of the main attractions. Overall it is a great local atmosphere with a lot to do.
Health & Safety:
Campus Safety – I give the University of Central Florida an A+ because I do not believe any student has ever felt unsafe. There are specific University police officers that are dedicated to just supervising the campus. There are also blue lights located every where around campus that are intended to be there at any point in time to click so that a security officer can come pick you up or know where to locate someone if in danger. Also the University Police Department sends out emails to every student when there has been any crime committed within the area of the University. The University has a goal to protect each and every student that attends and i do not believe they will ever go below this goal.
The Sun Won't Stop Shinning – The campus is great, however the weather is not for the majority of the time. The weather is extremely hot in summer and occasionally in spring. If the weather was a bit cooler, students wouldn't have to sweat walking to class.

UCF is growing by leaps and bounds. The students love to hang out, and they all know how to have a good time. There's so much to do and there's something for everyone. Do you really need any more reasons to go to college in Florida?
Orlando is an exciting city with tons of attractions and activities available to all. In many ways, going to school at UCF resembles a four-year vacation (Disney on Sunday, classes on Monday!). Downtown Orlando on a Friday night can, at times, seem like Mardi Gras, and City Walk on a Saturday night isn't to be missed. Also, Floridians are welcoming and friendly and most students at UCF make friends quickly and easily. Friendly faces and sunny skies, what more could a college student ask for? The stellar academics, up-and-coming sports teams, and state-of-the-art facilities are reason enough to spend the next four years of your life at UCF; the city of Orlando is just one big fringe benefit.

AbstractThe HGU-56/P aviator helmet is designed to protect the head from blunt impact trauma in survivable helicopter crashes and configured to serve as a platform on which to mount the helmet-mounted equipment (HME). Except for the visor, it is not designed to provide ballistic protection as the concurrent increase in weight of past designs would not have been acceptable. Recent progress in materials development now makes the addition of some level of protection a viable option. SAFE's proposed program is structured to develop a ballistic cover for the HGU-56/P flight helmet. The ballistic cover will be compatible with the HME and can be easily donned or doffed in flight, as needed, so the small amount of added weight is acceptable to the pilots for the relatively short periods of time the extra protection is needed. SAFE's program is structured to thoroughly investigate the available candidate materials, perform a trade off, select the most efficient materials, or combination of materials, and to perform a design development effort to produce the configuration that provides the most ballistic protection possible within acceptable weight limits while retaining the blunt trauma impact protection of the existing helmet. The program includes use of an advanced methodology that assures achievement of the optimum design.

The premise of this ethical theory anthology is that the study of ethics represents, above all else, participation in the thinking of a long tradition of philosophers. Organized historically by philosopher, the book provides an introductory chapter on ethical concepts and helpful commentary and study questions throughout the reading selections. Morality and the Good Life is substantial enough for a full course in ethics, but it is concise enough to allow the instructor time to include other approaches in addition to the classic texts and materials presented in this volume.

What a letter. I'm going to make two quick criticisms below, but by no means are they the only two to be made.
1. I'm going to assume that the vast majority of financial assets in the Lion Fund are in the form of BH stock. If this is so, then the limited partners in the lion fund pay BCC (Biglari) 25% of profits above a 5% hurdle to own something, BH, that they can buy for a small brokerage commission (8 dollars) in the stock market thereby foregoing the 25% incentive bonus to Biglari.
I don't think this point should be downplayed. It is the reason that he has to incorporate the same percentage bonus applicable to all of BH when the Lion Fund is folded because otherwise the Lion Fund has no reason for being. Because, again, if he doesn't, the limited partners in the Lion Fund will just liquidate their share in the fund and use the proceeds to buy BH stock. BTW doing so will depress the price of BH stock. So limited partners in the Lion Fund: the limited Partner that sells the Lion Fund first and waits to buy last into BH will get the best chance at the best deal.
2. the Straw Man in the room:
I'm going to keep this short and simple. Biglari's letter rails against executive stock options etc. He builds this egregious practice up as the 800 pound gorilla to be knocked down by his unorthodox, non conforming, and unconventional logic, but it isn't an 800 pound gorilla after all, it's a STRAW MAN.
There is nothing wrong with stock options per se, and Mr. Buffett would agree. What is wrong with stock options, as commonly used, is the strike price being set too low (usually at the present market price). Mr. Biglari, there is nothing that would prevent the comp committee at BH from pricing long dated executive options well out of the money so that you would have to actually add value above and beyond what already existed for those options to pay off for yourself. Nothing. Nothing!
There are many other compensation arrangements Mr. Biglari. Not just the present and pervasive wrong way or your way. Even I have offered up a few suggestions, and I'm not that smart. Go read Alice Shroeders blog on compensation for Berkshire managers. Are you affraid to sit in front of an intelligent investor to be asked to justify your compensation at the end of every year? How do you think Mr. Buffett would react to your proposal if BH were part of Berkshire? How do you think he would react to your recent letter?
That's it for now, and I remind you, the BH shareholder, of all the time spent reading through Warren Buffett's partnership letters and Berkshire Hathaway chairman's letters poking big fat holes in his logic. That silly unconventional Warren with his wrong Buffett logic.
I'm selling the small amount of shares I did buy yesterday because there is no chance in hell this type of illogic produces a successful long term performance, and I haven't the energy to vote in the circus of this thing. Get the share price cheaper and vote Biglari out. You are not losing someone that can compound at high rates. And did i read that right? The Lion Fund is only 50 million. Biglari has still not filed the financial statements with the SEC. We still don't know the average annual returns by year and by the size of the fund through that year. Again, does anyone know Mr. Bigs long term results? I suppose we can ex out the Bull Sh iit WEST transaction with SNS money used to bail that failed investment out and the one hit wonder at SNS itself given that he really started buying at 17 pre reverse split and it was near depression conditions that allowed all investors to buy all stocks at much lower prices, assuming you had the cash. Takes some smarts to have the cash, but doesn't take much smarts to buy and make big returns when stocks are in free fall. Brawn not brains I say.
I am dahdumbo and this is dahdumbo investing.
Dahdumboguru, please do not give up on this capitalallocationmaestro. He is a human blackswan, but in a good way. Perhaps I can help change your mind. In my absence from internetmessage boards, I have completed seven valueinvestment books (BUY THEM), learned algebra, and begun employing wonder device called checklist, of which I learned in popularmagazine. Given the esoteric nature of algebra and checklist, I believe I can deliver exceptional results to investors in my commonstockinvestmentprogram. I now share my work on Biglariguru incentive proposal.
Form 424B3 filed on SECEDGARwebsite on 5 March says that expected return on Western Sizzlin franchiseoperation, asset-light template of Biglariguru, is 18.78%. As a check on number (CHECK done as part of CHECKlist; CHECKmate, Klarman - my next book will be huge!) we compare this to 14% subordinated debt. Now only a shareholder unfriendly meanie would issue sub debt at highercoupon rate than market for personal enrichment. Biglariguru is not that, as his recent impassioned letter posted as pdf to BH website tells us. We can therefore conclude that 14% cost of debt is correct and that 4.78% is equity premium. 5.00-4.78 has positive value, so we are already getting a bargain!
Let us go further. Biglari 25% incentive over 5% hurdlerate and 18.78% equity cost mean that equityshareholders will really benefit to tune of [(18.78/.75)-5] = 20.04%. That beats Berkshire 20.03% average compounding of bookvalue by .01%. Bargains continue! But no need to stop now with checklist. We know that Biglariguru is paid a reasonable $900,000 annualsalary. As WarrenEBuffet makes just $100,000, we can cocnclude Big Larry will compound bookvalue 9 times faster than Omaha capitalallocators!
We cannot go wrong with this valueinvestment, dahdumbo.
Buy BH common. BUY MY BOOKS.
That's right, I forgot about the checklist thing the munkster is onto now. Too funny. poop in cot - nap in pot
I think he wrote the letter in part because the stock is falling like a rock, down >20% in a few days since he dropped the comp bomb. Despite all of his talk about book value and long term, he has been very interested in propping up the stock price, so he can use it for rights offerigs and takeovers.
Obviously some big shareholders are selling so they are not too happy. You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but...
He disclosed his comp 4 days ago. The stock dropped over 25% in 3 days. This was before the market tanked!
The shareholders have spoken, biglari, you crack smoking twit!
Simply put... Buffett believed in doing what was right for his shareholders and didn't receive options, restricted stock or a performance fee over a hurdle. He got rich the same way his shareholders did. I sold my shares and $360 and have no regrets there are many other great partners to invest with.

Stretching 790 miles at its most distant points, Texas is home to beaches and swamps along the Gulf of Mexico; fertile, rolling hills in its heartland; arid desert in the extreme west; extensive forests in the east; windswept plains and rugged canyons in the north; and mountains rising almost to 9,000 feet.
Texas is home to some of the largest cities in the United States, as well as some of the most historic. Houston and the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex dominate the economic life of the state. Austin in the heartland, El Paso in the west, Amarillo in the panhandle, and Corpus Christi on the coast, are among the many other major cities.
The warm weather, spaciousness, exciting cities, and entertainment aspects are just of the few of the reasons Texas is a wonderful place to retire. There is no state income tax and cost of living is lower than the national average.

Of course i was excited placing my order, however I put my order in almost 2 weeks ago. I hosted a dinner party and wanted the canvas prints to already displayed, and was expecting my order to come in 5 business days as what this company supposedly guarantees. Where is this company's integrity?? I called a few days ago to follow up and the lady who answered said, "I see your order, I will need to email Las Vegas to find out what is going on." No one has contacted me. I STILL have not received my order.

Warner Bros. Readying for Kombat
May 21, 2009 - Midway announced this afternoon that it was looking to sell the bulk of its assets to Warner Bros. for $33 million. The move is an effort to pay off Midway's debt and the sale includes the Mortal Kombat franchise. Though the majority of Midway's titles would be acquired by Warner Bros., the sale does not include Midway's San Diego development studio, responsible for its TNA franchise, or its studio in Newcastle, which developed the recent Wheelman title.
Wheelman Movie Set
May 8, 2009 - Paramount Pictures has begun pre-production on the movie version of the Vin Diesel-produced Ubisoft game Wheelman, according to Variety.
Wheelman Gets Add-on
May 4, 2009 - The Wheelman gets its first downloadable add-on this week, courtesy of Ubisoft, Midway and Tigon Studios.
Wheelman Review
March 25, 2009 - I don't think my expectations were too high for Wheelman. As a man who enjoys the occasional crappy action film, I came into Wheelman expecting cheesy Vin Diesel dialogue, an unbelievable story and lots of explosions. What I got was a whole lot more -- and not much of it was good. Sure, there's an abundance of cheesy Vin Diesel dialogue and fiery moments, but there's also the complete lack of story, mentally handicapped enemies, a repetitive city and some lame missions. In short, this is not an interactive The Fast and The Furious. That saddens me.

March 24, 2009 - IGN's Games of Spring 2009 PC PS3 PSP Wii DS
Wheelman Demo Out Now
March 5, 2009 - Ubisoft has tossed a demo for Wheelman up on Xbox Live, available now to download for free.
Midway And Ubisoft Announce Strategic Relationship To Publish Wheelman
February 18, 2009 - Midway Games Inc. (NYSE: MWY), a leading interactive entertainment publisher and developer, announced today that it has entered into a strategic relationship with Ubisoft to publish Wheelman, the highly-anticipated open-world driving game starring action-film megastar Vin Diesel as an expert driver for hire.
Wheelman Publisher Switcheroo Rumors
February 13, 2009 - If you were wondering what Midway filing for bankruptcy this week meant for the games in the publisher's library, it looks like we're getting our first glimpse of the effects today. The Interweb is alive with rumors of Ubisoft picking up the publishing rights for Wheelman, a third-person action game that casts you as Vin Diesel and sets you loose on the cars and bad guys of Spain.
Midway Files Chapter 11
February 12, 2009 - Shang Tsung cannot declare "finish him!" over Midway just yet. Laboring under crushing debt of approximately $240 million, Midway has formally filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. If the Chapter 11 move goes as planned, Midway can enter a re-organization phase and attempt to structure itself back into profitability.
Wheelman Delayed
January 20, 2009 - Midway Games has delayed Wheelman, its action game starring actor Vin Diesel. Originally planned to launch on February 16, Wheelman is now set for a March 20 release date.
Wheelman Progress Report
December 12, 2008 - I've seen Vin Diesel blow crap up in Wheelman before, but rarely has he done it with the style he displayed yesterday. In a "Fugitive" mission, which challenges Vin to get from one end of Barcelona to another while all sorts of enemies pop up to destroy him, our hero sped out in front of the sedan filled with thugs firing machine guns, pulled the e-brake, and pulled off a 180-degree turn that left him facing his enemies head-on while they sped at him and he sat in their path. Of course, this whole dramatic move is happening in slow motion, and there's a set of crosshairs on the screen. Vin can pop each of the gunmen so their annoying projectiles will cease, the wheelman can pop the driver once in the skull and let the car drift to a stop, or Mr. Diesel can light up the car's engine and watch as the vehicle turns into a cartwheelling fireball. Freedom of choice rocks.
Wheelman Hands-on
December 1, 2008 - Wheelman isn't your typical movie game. Rather than lazily rehashing the action sequences from its celluloid counterpart like most of its fellow film spin-offs, Wheelman is a whole new adventure developed as a standalone project alongside Vin Diesel's forthcoming Hollywood action flick. And that means a different setting, story and unique action sequences await. Wheelman - a collaboration between Midway Studios Newcastle and Vin Diesel's very own Tigon Studios - casts you as Milo Burik, a muscle-bound undercover agent and driving whizz on a mission to infiltrate Barcelona's criminal underworld. With the game due for release in Q1 2009, we took the opportunity during a recent hands-on session to test drive the latest code.
Midway Confirms February 16, 2009 as Scheduled Global Ship Date for Wheelman
November 19, 2008 - Midway Games Inc., a leading interactive entertainment software publisher and developer, today announced a planned global ship date of February 16, 2009, for Wheelman, the upcoming open-world driving game starring action-film megastar Vin Diesel as an expert driver for hire. Set in picturesque Barcelona, the game is scheduled to be available in stores everywhere by February 20, 2009, for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and personal computers.

Pre-E3 2008: Midway Going All the Way
June 12, 2008 - Midway Games will be making an appearance at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in just a few short weeks from now. The company sent us the complete list of games it will be putting on display during the show. Don't expect much in the way of surprises, but do expect a lot of high-profile titles.
The Big E3 List: 2008 Edition
June 11, 2008 - The always-popular Electronic Entertainment Expo has returned to its roots this year, with the annual game show moving back to the Los Angeles Convention Center after a solo season on the sunny beaches of Santa Monica. Kicking off on July 14 and running through July 17, E3 2008 showcases several of the year's biggest software titles from the industry's biggest publishers. To help celebrate the festivities, we're starting our E3 coverage right here and now. Listed below is every videogame that has been "officially confirmed" to appear so far. Just remember, don't go crazy if your most anticipated title isn't on the list -- after all, E3 is known for its surprises and secrets, not every company is going to let us know everything ahead of time. That means that our list will by no means be complete until the show starts. Regardless, this page will continue to be updated immediately whenever we can confirm additional titles. For your easy navigation, we've provided links to every game listed should you want to use our watch-list system to keep and eye on your favorite titles, and we've even included a handy countdown clock so you know exactly how much time is left before the show happens. Titles added in the last 48 hours are marked with a handy-dandy "New" icon as well. Oh, and before we forget. If you're a publisher and want us to add games to your list, send us a complete description to This email address and we'll take care of the rest.
PSN Update (05.08.08)
May 8, 2008 - If you're looking for action, this week's PSN update should provide it to you in spades, with demos for Haze, The Bourne Conspiracy and GRID flying onto PS3s. The highly anticipated PixelJunk Monsters Encore is also released today for strategy fans, along with a large dose of trailers. Check out the full breakdown below:
The Wheelman Hands-on
April 18, 2008 - It must be nice being Vin Diesel. You get to drive a lot of hot cars, shoot a lot of fancy guns, drop a ton of one-liners, and impress all the ladies. That basically describes quite a number of Diesel's movies, but it also describes the upcoming game, The Wheelman, almost to a T. In it, you play a character (modeled on and voiced by Diesel) as he plays an American "wheelman" in Barcelona. He's basically a driver for various criminal elements, which means that there are plenty of high-speed chases, pursuits, and action. We finally got our hands on The Wheelman for the first time, and it's a game with a lot of promise.

Medicaid Demonstration Waivers:
Lack of Opportunity for Public Input during Federal Approval Process Still a Concern
GAO-07-694R: Published: Jul 24, 2007. Publicly Released: Aug 23, 2007.
Additional Materials:

(202) 512-7059
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
States provide health care coverage to about 60 million low-income individuals through Medicaid, a joint federal and state program established under title XIX of the Social Security Act (the Act). Title XIX of the Act established parameters under which states operate their Medicaid programs, such as requiring states to cover certain services for certain mandatory groups of individuals such as low-income children; pregnant women; and aged, blind, or disabled adults. The Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS), however, possesses authority to allow states to depart from these requirements under certain conditions. Under section 1115 of the Act, the Secretary may waive certain Medicaid requirements and authorize Medicaid expenditures for experimental, pilot, or demonstration projects that are likely to assist in promoting Medicaid objectives. Medicaid section 1115 demonstration projects vary in scope, from targeted demonstrations, which are limited to specific services and populations, to comprehensive demonstrations, which affect Medicaid populations statewide, cover a broad range of services, and account for the majority of a state's Medicaid expenditures. Since 1982, the Secretary has approved comprehensive demonstration projects in a number of states, including Arizona, Florida, Hawaii, Oregon, Tennessee, and Vermont. Since our 2002 report, and our subsequent 2004 report on 1115 demonstration approvals, HHS has continued to review and approve waivers of federal requirements for new comprehensive demonstration proposals. At Congress's request, we reviewed recently approved comprehensive demonstrations, including the process HHS used to obtain public input on these proposals. This correspondence addresses (1) implications for beneficiaries of recently approved comprehensive Medicaid demonstrations and (2) the extent to which the Secretary ensured opportunities for public input during the approval process. Our review encompassed recently approved comprehensive demonstration programs in two states, Florida and Vermont. These were the two demonstration programs meeting our criteria of (1) being approved by HHS from July 2004 (when we last reviewed HHS-approved section 1115 demonstrations) through December 2006 and (2) being comprehensive, including accounting for greater than 50 percent of the state's Medicaid expenditures.
Recently approved Medicaid section 1115 demonstrations in Florida and Vermont have mixed implications for beneficiaries in terms of coverage and eligibility. The demonstrations are implementing different methods for administering each state's Medicaid program and, as of March 2007, had been under way less than 8 months in Florida and less than 18 months in Vermont. Consequently, the actual effect of the demonstrations on beneficiaries was not yet known. Officials in both states took steps to obtain public input in line with HHS's 1994 policy, but HHS did not provide opportunity for public input at the federal level once the proposals were received or post the states' proposals on its Web site before approving them. Instead, HHS relied on Florida and Vermont officials to obtain and respond to public comments. Both states provided opportunities for public input--for example, by holding public hearings and posting drafts of the demonstration proposal on the states' Web sites. Even so, stakeholders in each state and at the national level said they lacked access to specific information about aspects of the proposals that directly affected beneficiaries or lacked sufficient time to review and comment on the proposals. In Vermont, for example, the state's Medical Care Advisory Committee, established by the state to facilitate consumer input in state Medicaid policy, voted against approval of the demonstration proposal because members said they lacked sufficient time and information to understand the proposal. In Florida, stakeholders said that information about the demonstration proposal provided during public meetings was insufficient for adequately understanding implications and that, upon request, state officials did not provide key documents related to the demonstration, such as budget and demographic information related to the proposal. At the federal level, organizations representing individuals aged 50 and above, children and families, and other Medicaid beneficiaries affected by the Florida and Vermont demonstrations said that HHS did not post the proposals to its Web site or provide them with timely information about the demonstrations upon request. Unless Congress and HHS take actions in response to the matters for congressional consideration and recommendations to HHS presented in our July 2002 report, it appears likely that HHS will continue to approve waivers for comprehensive demonstration proposals--with potentially significant implications for program beneficiaries--without adequate opportunity for public input.

No, the Pathfinder edition of the Communist Manifesto is not introduced by "renowned social theorist David Harvey," whoever he is. It's introduced by renowned world revolutionary Leon Trotsky. Trotsky's approx. 12 pg. introduction written in 1937 is (along with the prefaces by Marx and Engels) worth more than all the other hundreds of introductions put together. This is the best edition.
In this particular edition of the Communist Manifesto, the reader is treated to an introduction by Leon Trotsky, one of the central leaders of the Russian Revolution as well as some correspondence from Marx and Engels. But it is the Manifesto itself which bears repeated readings and discussion. How could such a short work have been the basis for revolutions around the world? It is due I think to the fundamental points made: i.e. that workers of the world must unite---as they have more in common with each other than their own national rich and powerful. In very brief but cogent explanations, Marx and Engels give a concise history of mankind and prove that all history in the 'history of class struggles'. Be it feudal lords and serfs or autoworkers and General Motors, it is still the truth.
Because of the tragic disasters of Stalinism, Maoism and other horrendous fascistic dictatorial regimes, the very word 'communism' brings with it many pejoratives. These misconceptions must be dispelled, and the Communist Manifesto can do that. It is clear that the current politco-ecomic model (i.e american capitalism) is failing so many people of the world; oppressing their democratic rights, and keeping them in repressed, subjigated conditions with little to eat or drink and nowhere to live. A better world must be built - a truly democratic world, ran by the people, for the people, not by the rich, for the rich as today's society is. Although the Communist Manifesto is specific to its time, its sentiments and programmes for a better world are still applicable today, and all those wishing to fight inequality, injustice and oppression should read this pamphlet. It is an essential for all revolutionaries.
Interesting: it provides great insight into the minds of great communist leaders and the extreme side of socialism
Soooo..........this is akward
Exellent copy. Wish it had a table of content to aid in navigation.
Whether you think the enemy of working people and of young people who want a human world is 'globalization' ,or Bush, or politicians in general, or just your boss : if you are fighting for a better life for all; if war, mass unemployment, poverty, racism, sexism etc, etc, repell and anger you , then you need this pamphlet. Now. You will keep wondering as you read , ' When was this written ? ' Because in this pamphlet two young revolutionary fighters ( one 29, one 30 yrs. old at the time ) describe the world we live in today : 'global ' capitalism .They also describe the only social class that can put an end to this system : the very working people who create all wealth and the basis for all culture. Not rhetoric, but science.With introduction by a co-leader ( with Lenin ) of the Russian Revolution and fighter against Stalin-ism , Leon Trotsky.You can see this same approach applied to today?s world in The Working Class And The Transformation Of Learning and Cuba And The Coming American Revolution by U.S. socialist leader Jack Barnes. ( Also from Pathfinder Press.)
Written by two young men who saw how to change the world. It's in-your-face. The opening gambit is a taunt: 'A spectre is haunting Europe -- the spectre of communism.' Fighters flaunting their confidence. Great vivid images which ring all the truer today -- capitalism is like a sorcerer who has conjured up immense forces beyond his control, they say. But, ridiculously, forces of too-much wealth, too-much food, over-abundance in the face of starvation and devastation. Sound like today's world? They explain why this happens and how to end the paradox. The Manifesto answers the debates and rulers' propaganda of the time (and ours, too). Are communists godless heathens? Do they abandon morals and use women? Are rebels just lazy good-for-nothings? I like the Pathfinder edition because it's cheap, has an introduction by a leader of the Russian revolution (Leon Trotsky) which brings it up-to-date for our epoch and has lots of margin space in which to write notes.
It does not work! Were is the great USSR now!
Marx is always fascinating. But if you read this, read Paul Johnson's 'Intellectuals'. Gives you a good perspective on Marx and why he wrote this watershed.
While the Marx/Engles views are clearly wrong, the Manifesto makes for an interesting read nonetheless.
Written in a very persuasive manner. Reading the Manifesto really takes you back to those times and the gap betweem the rich and poor (bourgeiose and prolatriat). More importantly it Marx's really give valid reasons agaisnt capitalism and for communism. Its a great book.
From each according to his ability to each according to his need. -Karl Marx
the glory of the motherland is in this book. Long live the glorious revolution.

Question: How is Schizophrenia Diagnosed?

Answer:

The symptoms of schizophrenia can be very frightening for the person experiencing them, or for friends and loved ones observing them. If you or someone you care about experiences  symptoms that suggest schizophrenia, it's very important to get advice from a doctor right away. You'll need to see a psychiatrist to rule out or diagnose schizophrenia. The symptoms may indicate another illness that needs to be treated. If the diagnosis is schizophrenia it's very important to begin treatment as soon as possible in order to make the best recovery.

Schizophrenia is a type of mental illness classified as a psychotic disorder. People with schizophrenia have symptoms of psychosis, which make them appear to be out of touch with reality. However, other illnesses may also involve psychotic symptoms. There is no blood test or brain scan to diagnose schizophrenia. Only some one with special training to diagnose mental illness can make an accurate diagnosis of schizophrenia. . In order to diagnose schizophrenia, a doctor will perform a variety of interview and psychological tests to determine the patient's current beliefs and symptoms as well as the history of the patient.

Five Types of Symptoms of Schizophrenia
There are five basic types of symptoms of schizophrenia that a doctor will look for when trying to make a diagnosis. The first four types are described as positive symptoms, and the last type includes all negative symptoms.

 Delusions

Hallucinations

Disorganized Speech

Disorganized Behavior

Negative Symptoms

In addition to the positive and negative symptoms, a patient may have cognitive symptoms as well. Those symptoms are not specific to the definition of schizophrenia that the doctor will use to make the diagnosis.

Five Types of Schizophrenia

There are five basic subtypes of schizophrenia, which are distinguished by the combination of symptoms a patient experiences. Based on psychological tests and interviews, the formal diagnosis of schizophrenia will specify one of these types.

 Paranoid Type Schizophrenia. Prominent features of this diagnosis involve hallucinations or delusions fixated on a theme that often involves being plotted against, betrayed or persecuted. Negative symptoms such as flattened affect, catatonia, or disorganized speech are not as prominent as in other types of schizophrenia.

 Disorganized Type Schizophrenia. This diagnosis describes patients who exhibit disorganized behavior and speech as well as negative symptoms, but relatively fewer hallucinations or delusions.

 Catatonic Type Schizophrenia. This diagnosis is made when the most prominent symptoms are bizarre behavior and abnormal activity, either very little activity or overly excited behavior.

 Undifferentiated Type Schizophrenia. These patients show a mixture of psychotic symptoms (delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech, disorganized behavior, and negative symptoms), with no one type of symptoms dominating the behavior.

 Residual Type Schizophrenia. This diagnosis is more rarely used than the other four. It describes a patient who at one time met the criteria for one of the other four types but who no longer has significant delusions, hallucinations, disorganized speech or disorganized behavior. To meet this diagnosis, the person will either have negative symptoms like flattened affect or reduced activity or speech, or have greatly reduced, residual positive symptoms like delusions, hallucinations, or disorganized speech or behavior.

Other Psychotic Disorders
Most of the symptoms of schizophrenia are symptoms of psychosis, but it is possible to have psychotic symptoms without having schizophrenia. Other psychotic disorders include:

Schizophreniform Disorder

Schizoaffective Disorder

Brief Psychotic Disorder

Delusional Disorder

Shared Psychotic Disorder

Psychotic Disorder Due to a General Medical Condition

Substance-Induced Psychotic Disorder

Psychotic Disorder Not Otherwise Specified

There are also disorders that can have psychosis as a symptom:

Mood Disorder with Psychosis

Cognitive Disorder with Psychosis

Personality Disorders

and disorders that can masquerade as psychosis:

Specific Phobia

Mental Retardation

Somatization Disorder

Factitious Disorder

Malingering

costly in various ways..... Not sure why you asked do you have a situation and you wonder what to recommend.
The rules are very very different, for each HOA and or building.... some allow cats but no dogs, some only dogs no cats, weight limit, number of pet limit etc. etc. and many many times NO pets at all.....
Anyone buying in a building with an HOA should make sure what is acceptable and what is not, just to make the right decision, their rules may exclude the buyers or renters.
Any clients in Malibu moving to Chicago???? Just wondering
Good Luck'

Yes, I do find that the HOA rules are usually enforced. Of course, I suggest to clients that it is always best to follow the rules as it makes for a better community, better relationships with the neighbors, and the creation of a harmonious environment in general.

Yes they enforce them very stringently. NO pets for tenants at all and small dogs and cats only for owners.
I have been looking with a client who owns a Rottweiler. It has been frustrating because we will view places where other owners have large pets and when we analyze the Pet Policy it has been quite different from the reality of the community and what we have been told.

It was interesting to visit the house were he lived and were he worked. The workshop on the last floor is a beautiful room.
Even if you do not particularly like Rembrandt. Free audioguides providing explanations about all the paintings in the house (and there are a lot). 17th century painting demonstrations, complementary with the explanations of the 19th century painting skills of the Van Gogh Museum: interesting to compare the evolution. Amazing collection of etchings.
I am not a Rembrandt fan nor had any knowledge of his life and art but felt obliged to visit the Rembrandt House as he is a great Dutch artist ... oh my god what a sensational place!1. It was intriguing to see an Amsterdam house from the inside2. Great insight into 17th century life in general and Rembrandt as an artist in particular. 3. There are two artistic demonstrations, one is techniques of prints (and which R engaged), the second how artists made their paints in the 17th century (a lengthy process of smashing stones and minerals from exotic places then adding various ingredients). I was amazed how difficult it was to make a print and paint, it was absolutely fascinating.4. Big collection of Rembrandts prints5. An opportunity to be creative on the top floor where visitors are invited to get artisticVery well done, highly recommended!
We planned to stop in this museum in order to make use of the last hour of our I AMSTERDAM cards. We wer really impressed to see the demonstrations for the printing techniques and paint preparation. It was really interesting for us and the only thing we regreted about was that our son, who is quite interested in drawing and painting, was actually not with us.We would really recomend for everyone to include this museum in their plan for their Amsterdam visit.
As an artist who enjoys printmaking I had a pleasant surprise on the top floor of Rembrandt's House, as a studio was set up for the general public to have a go at a drypoint for no extra charge. Tables were set up for anyone to either copy from one of Rembrandt's own etchings or sketches or do your own design, which I did. You could then ink up, wipe down and send through the press to produce a little original print, and repeat a second time to give one to the House. An assistant was available to give guidance, overalls were available to protect your clothes, and a wall was dedicated to the display of tourists drypoints which made for an interesting exhibition.The house itself was a wonderful museum and Rembrandt's art was also on display.

IN WIN BUC Mid Tower Chassis Review
The IN WIN BUC Mid Tower Case
With all of the packing out of the way, you can see that IN WIN again kept the all black look of the Dragons. I won't get too deep into the details as I am about to go over them one by one.
The front of the BUC has an aggressive looking pair of protrusions. The three optical bay covers can be removed externally, along with the floppy drive cover in the middle band. At the bottom of the bezel there is a large mesh area to allow for the intake fan to draw air and gave IN WIN a place to put the backlit logo.
The front I/O is at the very top. It has USB 2.0 and audio jacks, along with the power and reset buttons that have activity LEDs incorporated into the sides of each button.
On the top you can see that carbon fiber-like design surrounding and on the floor of the catch all tray. In the middle of the back wall of the tray, that is where the USB 3.0 port is. Matching the front there is a thinner middle between the tray and the large vented area at the back to allow the included fan to exhaust through the mesh covering.
The left side has a large mesh area on the left that can be backed by a pair of 120mm fan, but they aren't included. On the right there is an IN WIN logo stamped into the panel, and of course the lockable access panel at the bottom. Both side panels use these tool-free locks. The rear panel is plain steel and is why I won't bother to show it.
The rear of the case has the USB 3.0 cable hanging out of the top of the chassis ready to plug into the rear I/O of any motherboard. Above the 120mm exhaust fan is a pair of hole with grommets for water cooling. Under it is the seven expansion slots and the hole for the bottom mounted PSU.
