Since we are talking about sharks, let's talk about how one reports shark and other sea creature related injuries. Here are the ICD10 codes for ocean related injuries, mostly related to being bitten by stuff that lives in the sea. The shark ones are pretty funny. The primary code for shark bite is: W56.41XA - Bitten by shark, initial encounter http://www.findacode.com/icd-1... Here are all the codes related to injuries from sea creatures: http://www.chirocode.com/medic...
The Blackhawks are named after the then owner's bar as a form of marketing. The bar was named the Black Hawk.
I think they should look at other offensive sports team names, as well. How about Sooners, Raiders, Vandals, Rebels, Browns, Reds, Beavers, Cougars and Game Cocks.
I don't know why they don't just dust off Jack Kevorkian's gizmo. If he could conduct assisted suicides in the back of a van, the state can surely make the device work in a prison. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J...
I've used this example as one of management overruling the techies. The engineers argued against launching in the cold, And management said, "My God. When do you want me to launch? Next April?"
They launched. The thing failed spectacularly, People died. And they did not launch again for over two years.
I always wondered how they got the design of the Death Star through the review committee given its obvious flaws. If your expensive creation can be destroyed by a single shot, why build it?
One word: lawsuits. The first autonomous vehicle that runs down and kills little Sally will result in a legal settlement that is so large that even the mighty Google will not be able to stay in the business. After the lawsuits start flying, Google's insurance costs to stay in this business will go through the roof. With an autonomous vehicle, the manufacturer will be liable for everything that goes wrong. Whether it is their fault or not. Google has deep pockets, and juries will make them pay. That will inevitably lead to the end of Google's foray in to autonomous vehicles.
The demand for cars was reduced to a level that the sales no longer permitted the auto manufactures to cover their considerable fixed costs. The demand for cars does not need to be reduced to zero to effectively strangle the manufacturers. Back in the 30s, Ford stopped making cars for a year, because the losses from selling too few cars was greater than the losses from selling no cars. We did not get to that point the last time.
Apparently, the entire country no longer has borders. We can't stop millions of illegal, er.... undocumented, immigrants from crossing the nation's borders each year, so what makes you think that we can stop weapons from crossing the border?
Everybody should lose their employee-sponsored plans. Everybody should make their own choices and buy their own insurance Tying health coverage to employment is idiotic, and has become a modern-day form of feudalism.
I would have liked to see the democrats propose this and then listen to the howls from their unions supporters who all have employer provided health insurance.
btw: In the US, the tie between employment and healthcare dates back to WWII. Wages and Prices were frozen, so if I wanted to convince workers to come work at my munitions factory, I couldn't offer them more money. I could offer them healthcare. Back then, the factory had doctors, and occasionally dentists, on site and employees and their families went to the company doctor for health care. After the war, companies opted to pay for insurance rather than on-site, and on-staff, physicians. So, the tie between employment and health coverage is Franklin Delano Roosevelt's fault.
Right. But since being overweight has just been re-classified as a disease, any app that lets you track you weight can be interpreted as being one that is involved in the "treatment or prevention of disease." Don't you think they won't.
On a side note it is interesting to note that japan were already under the process of surrender, and were committed to leaving the war roughly two weeks after the bombs dropped. They had their own terms, to be allowed to keep their emperor as the head of Japanese political heirarchy.
Nothing says "I am ready for a peaceful resolution to the conflict" like the slogan "One Hundred Million Die Together."
This is my favorite quote on the music industry by Robert Fripp. "It is the opinion of most musicians that the music industry sucks. This is because the music industry sucks."
Yep. This kind of propaganda has been going on for a very long time. In WWI, the British press contained stories of German soldiers parading around Belgian towns with babies on their bayonets.
Why digitally add the logos. Have them sewn on to their suits. And they should be required to mention their sponsors, like NASCAR drivers do.
Then you can hear the Congressman say: I'd like to thank the United Auto Workers, Service Employee's International Union, National Education Association and the American Dairy Association for making this possible.
Do people really change the way they vote just because of advertising, or lack thereof?
They wouldn't spend the money on advertising if it didn't work. Does the UK have negative political ads? You know, like the one where the Paul Ryan lookalike pushes granny in her wheelchair off of a cliff? Those are very effective in the US, but are almost always paid for by an outside group.
You are assuming that a significant amount of money is needed to "finance" a campaign. If no one has any advertisement money then you have a fair playing field for rich and poor candidates and it may also lower the barrier of entry for third party candidates. You could also have some standard fixed amount paid for by taxpayers to any candidate with a sufficiently large number of signatures to run.
If you limit what the politicians can spend on their campaigns, the money will just be spent by outside groups. Given the First Amendment protection of speech in the US, there is no way to limit what (and how often) outside groups say about a politician. So, you end up disarming the politicians and having all the power be in the hands of outside groups. I fail to see how this is an improvement.
This "one size fits all" approach also fails to take in to account the size difference in congressional districts and states. It takes a lot more to mount a campaign in say Chicago than it does in Montana.

I used to have a sign in my cube that read "The floggings will continue until morale improves." That seems to be the Microsoft strategy.

Efficiency is generally sufficient. A house's whole roof can generally power it.
Unless the roof is covered with snow, like it is for several months of the year. Unless you live in the tropics.

One of my favorite quotes is from her: "It is far easier to ask for forgiveness than permission."
It *was* cowardly in that they attacked before declaring war.
If you are going to start a fight with a sucker punch, you get no sympathy when the other guy kicks your ass.
Chicago has no borders.

That's good.

He is a product of the Chicago Machine, and people are surprised that he behaves like one.
This indicates a fundamental misunderstanding of what the iPhone was at launch.
And what that was, was simply the most FUNCTIONAL smartphone that existed at the time. But a huge margin.
This is revisionist history. The iPhone barely functioned as a phone when it was introduced. Remember: "You're holding it wrong."
Right. But since being overweight has just been re-classified as a disease, any app that lets you track you weight can be interpreted as being one that is involved in the "treatment or prevention of disease." Don't you think they won't.
The other thing I like about this is that they have a scheme for registering and tracking these devices. See http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/UniqueDeviceIdentification/default.htm for details.
This is the Globally Unique Device Identifier (GUDID), which they are pronouncing "Good ID". Who says that the government can't market its stuff.

This is my favorite quote on the music industry by Robert Fripp. "It is the opinion of most musicians that the music industry sucks. This is because the music industry sucks."
Exactly. The only thing missing from this warning was a reference to "dark forces."
Yep. This kind of propaganda has been going on for a very long time. In WWI, the British press contained stories of German soldiers parading around Belgian towns with babies on their bayonets.
One learns to be skeptical of these claims.
The first casualty in war is the truth.
