Many of the nursing journals have a different criteria for "nursing shortage" than the employment market has. They may mean that their employers don't employ enough nurses and make the workload too difficult/dangerous for the patient. Or simply that their subscription rate has gone down. It's kind of like the carpenter's union saying there aren't enough carpenters. "We aren't getting enough dues! There must be a shortage!"
The problem is that not all MBA programs are alike. (like many masters level programs) If you have a tuition voucher from your employer, then you'll get in to some school no matter how stupid you are. And if you show up every Tuesday and Thursday night for two years, they'll Xerox off a diploma for you.

No, it's almost exactly like following code. Lots of logic and ANDs and ORs, MAY or SHALL, etc. The law is only confusing to people who don't know logic.
If that were actually the real policy, then there would never be any outbreaks. The disease only transfers by eating brains and nerves. The cows can only catch it if the farmers are feeding their cows brains and nerves. From sick cows. Which is pretty disgusting considering they are herbivores.
That's probably true. You can make a case that the economic damage of a recession (or boom) is geometric versus its linear number. IE, a 2% drop in GDP is 4x as bad as a 1% drop. So smoothing out the curves mitigates damage.
Sure there would. The human-monkeys that had the slightly longer-living genetics were able to care for their offspring better, ensuring that the slightly longer-living genetics stayed alive. If each generation can manage to stay alive a week longer than their parents, over a million years that adds some years to the lifespan of the population.
I think what the article is saying is that passing on one's genes isn't the whole evolutionary story. It doesn't help the squirrels much if the alpha squirrel impregnates a dozen hot lady squirrels and then gets whacked by a hawk. Now there are a bunch of genetically superior squirrels around that don't know how to avoid hawks. The idea is that the occasional squirrel will come along that does know how to avoid hawks, and will be able to teach the younger squirrels that skill. It's a hardware versus software thing. Basic survival of the fittest ensures good hardware. But increasing the lifespan ensures good software.
In my life, I have (to date) interacted with 5 generations of my family. My great grandmothers were born in the late 1890s, all the way to my cousin's kid who was born in 1991. That's a lot of stories and advice that they passed along. If this were a time prior to written communications, I would have the benefit of 100 years of experience. My great grandmother might have been able to say with her dying breath, "hey idiot, don't build a hut that close to the river, most of my mother's family was wiped out by a big flood on that spot." Through benefit of that advice, I will survive the next big flood that happens decades after her death. And I'll tell my great grandchildren with MY dying breath the same thing. Without that, I make the same mistake and get wiped out. Going back even further in history, this might even be how language developed- the older people couldn't keep up with the youths, but eventually they figured out how to grunt out a "goddammit, stay away from that cliff!" noise that passed down through the generations.
Actually, double jeopardy is about not being in jeopardy of being punished for the same offense twice. You can do one "thing" that violates more than one law and be charged and convicted of more than one crime.
When you are charged with a crime, at its most basic, it is like a class action lawsuit against you, filed on behalf of the people of the jurisdiction. Even though many crimes have an actual victim (the guy whose jaw you broke, for example), the nominal victim is the people of the jurisdiction. In the jaw breaking example, you might be put on criminal trial for it and convicted. That was for going around doing stuff that the people of the jurisdiction don't care for. But you can then be sued personally by the guy whose jaw you broke for any damages that he suffered.
Take the file sharing example and change it around to something a little easier to understand. You are a citizen of the US, and you build a giant transmitter in Kansas. You set it for 890am, and pump a million watts into it. It blasts across the hemisphere. Your signal violates the signal laws of multiple countries. That one act has broken the laws of many jurisdictions, with victims in each jurisdiction. Each government has the right, on behalf of the collective rights of the people it represents, to put you on trial for the violation of their laws. In many cases, the other jurisdictions could decide to not prosecute because whatever punishment you get from the US is good enough for them. But they don't have to.
Different animals need different kinds of food sources. Carnivores NEED to eat meat in order to survive. Their bodies cannot synthesize the amino acids necessary for function. Dogs are right on the edge, they can survive on non-meat diets, but they have to be tailored correctly so they get the right amino acids. Cats, on the other hand, are obligate carnivores and must have meat to survive.
So yes, it is cruel to not give an animal the food it needs to survive. If a vegan has done the research and feeds their animal a diet with the correct nutrients, fine. But just feeding your animal whatever you want because it makes YOU feel good, without regard for their nutritional differences ain't right.
I've done work in a state rep's office, and they do get a lot of mail. But as far as I've ever seen, there weren't stacks of form letters. They have a person who reads the correspondence and who answers the phone calls, summarizes much of it, and forwards the summary to the rep. So letter writing is probably the most effective.
I've never seen the email, but I imagine it is a nightmare. I have seen the faxes, and they are hilarious.
I think there is evidence that poorly done rate management causes problems. I've heard people explain that the 2008-2009 recession was caused by too-low interest rates in the earlier 2000s. The cheap money flowed into real estate and the financial sector financing it, causing a bubble. Because while the economy in the early 2000s was stagnant, it wasn't stagnant because money was scarce. It was stagnant because people were scared and still working off the their tech bubble losses.
Think of rate management like managing the supply and demand of money. If demand for money is high and supply is low, printing money is what you ought to do. But if demand is low (as the theory suggests it was in the early 2000s), printing money is just going to cause inflation. In this case, instead of systemic inflation, the inflation was only in a few intertwined sectors. And there is your real estate/financial bubble.
If he really believed the libertarian stuff he keeps spouting, why does he keep running as a Republican? Someone who actually believed those things would never align themselves with the Republican party. Conclusion: Ron Paul is either stupid, or exaggerating what he'd actually do if he was in charge.
The takeaway is that if popular websites used darker backgrounds, the net power draw of all their users would go down. It wouldn't matter in the individual cases, but if the difference is 10w/hour, then over 1 million user-hours, a total of 10 megawatt-hours would be saved in the aggregate. If I've done my math right.

It's all about the muscle tone.
Combine that with the DNA from fat people, since they already make their own gravy on hot days.
I think you'll find an even tighter correlation between high saturated fats + high carbohydrate and increased LDL.
And in those six years, how's your weight, blood pressure and cholesterol levels been?
Romney's dad was governor of Michigan, chairman of AMC and the Secretary of HUD. That's pretty "legacy".
The Groucho Marx rule?
Is that the dialect where the letter 'h' is pronounced "haych"?

Doesn't Lexis-Nexis do this? And most state's "legis" websites?
Are the files available offline, like in Dropbox?
