I understand your point. I am not biased towards Asian kids (even though I am one =)). Im just stating the facts. Why do Asian kids perform better than Western kids do - theoretically? There could be tons of reasons beneath the numbers. My theory is that - Asia has billions of people - hundreds of millions living in abject poverty. Although the extremely successful asian students - even business men emigrated to foreign countries - predominantly America. This successful avant garde of asians =) - Read More...

I find it interesting that the IRS has not attempted to enforce the accumulated earnings tax rules (26 USC 531-537) since the first years of the Bush administration. These rules impose an extra tax on corporations for doing just what Apple is doing: not paying dividends to the shareholders. Perhaps Apple's (and Microsoft's and others') earnings are overstated, since they do not incorporate the risk of accumulated earnings tax? Certainly the job rejection letter of the law would require the tax, and Read More...

Informative article Laura, might I add: PAD may often occur in patients with diabetes and neuropathy. Insensitive feet are prone to ulceration and infection. In the presence of PAD healing may be compromised or impossible without stenting or bypass. Many patients are already on statins and antiplatelet aggregation drugs. Proper diagnostic evaluation of circulation includes: ABI, plethysmography of toe (digital) circulatory runoff, digital pulse oxygen and/or angiography. Having your pulses checked Read More...

It's reasonable assumption to make. Spending 8+ hours at work, feeling as though you are not allowed to take a break and have to keep at the computer is mind-numbing and mentally draining. Moments like that give the mind a chance to switch tracks and take the focus away from the task, and then return with a fresh set signs of adhd eyes because you haven't been staring at numbers the entire day. It's horrible how focus is one of the only things people look for anymore. And with ADHD, it seems that Read More...

Let me know when the Fed actually tries to file a charge like that or fine someone for refusing to be groped. I know that congress did not pass a law exempting TSA agents from state sexual harassment at work battery laws and the TSA's unwilliness to force the objectors to the screening shows that they know they are on extremely shaky legal grounds. Also, if you look at the way the sexual battery laws are written, any attempt to enforce those penalties (and maybe even the threat of them) pushes the Read More...

Thinkpad is a great laptop. The name connotates power - an active thinking place of operations. The problem with iPad lies deeper - with the nature of the Apple user. Case example: look at the iPhone. Described by users as sexy beautiful women. I thought sex happens when a girl / guy gets together - not when you hold plastic to your face. Apple users need to get a grip. Stop being sex perverts. My bias? PC / XP Pro / Droid. Great conceptual tools to get the job done: Trading; web design; music / Read More...

UNIONS Unions are only necessary when you have poor management. Sorry to say but this is one reason they are necessary in government. Politically appointed management is seldom competent. Most reached their level four functions of management incompetency before being appointed. If a union strike is justified then the solution is to replace the incompetent government management. Therefore, if some union benefit is gained then we should simultaneously see a change in management and their records indicating Read More...

One important element of this case that is not discussed is child tax credit 2012 support. If the Pennsylvania case is upheld and the man is forced to become a father against his will, it is likely he will be required to pay child support for this child and he may be required to contribute to the medical costs of the pregnancy and delivery. There is no intent requirement for child support. In at least one case a boy who was younger than the age of consent was required to pay child support to the Read More...

It's the same argument, Thomas. You can't help if you're not there. We either need tons more law enforcement or tons more armed and well trained citizens. I'd vote for armed citizens. You're assuming that a police your presence was requested. Had the police been there, I'm betting they would have. Substitute armed citizen in that last statement and it's no different. I don't think we want a police presence in every aspect of our daily lives and every where we go. I certainly don't. That's why I (and Read More...

Banking used to be a low profit margin business making conservative loans for businesses and mortgages at reasonable rates to people with good best credit card deals. It worked. Now they make credit card loans at 30% interest to prople who are bad credit risks. The answer - anti-usury laws. Cap interest rates at 10%. Bad credit risks will not get loans Good credit risks will be able to pay them, Banks will have lower profit margins. All well and good. As it stands now the high credit card Read More...
