Obama calls Romney, congratulates him on GOP nod

WASHINGTON (AP) ? President Barack Obama on Wednesday congratulated Mitt Romney on securing the Republican presidential nomination, a gesture coupled with a new line of attack on the GOP challenger that portrays his economic record while governor of Massachusetts as a failure.

The president called Romney and told him "he looked forward to an important and healthy debate about America's future," Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said. Romney's campaign said the call was "brief and cordial." Both men wished each other's families well during the upcoming race.

Romney's primary win in Texas on Tuesday pushed him past the 1,144-delegate threshold he needed to claim the nomination.

Obama took the formal step of congratulating his opponent even as his team looked to shift to the Massachusetts story under Romney. In a five-page memorandum from senior Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod, the Obama camp cast Romney as poor steward of the Massachusetts economy during his 2003-2007 tenure as governor.

"When it comes to Mitt Romney and his economic philosophy the facts are clear ? it didn't work then, and it won't work now," Axelrod wrote.

Romney's campaign, meanwhile, was bringing attention to failed stimulus projects under Obama and federal money given to green energy companies like Solyndra, a solar firm that received hundreds of millions of dollars from the government only to go bankrupt.

The competing attack-lines came as Romney pivoted from a long primary slog to the Republican nomination and a new summertime window to sway voters who have not yet fully tuned into the presidential campaign. Romney hopes to present himself as a worthy replacement for Obama who can help revitalize a slow-moving economy, the most important issue for voters.

The country is "just beginning a general election, we've gone through a primary ... not a lot of people focus time on the characteristics of a new candidate like myself, and people will get to know me better. My guess is they're going to get to know more about me than they'd like to by the time we're finished," Romney said in an interview on Fox News that aired Wednesday but was taped over the weekend.

For months, Obama and his allies have signaled plans to target Romney's Massachusetts record, with advisers noting that the state's economy lagged in job creation and saw an increase in debt while he was governor. The critique builds upon a line of attack this month of Romney's record at private equity firm Bain Capital, which Obama's team contends led to job losses and bankrupt companies even while Bain profited.

"Whether companies succeeded or failed, Romney Economics netted huge profits for him and his investors, but sometimes proved devastating for the middle-class workers whose jobs, benefits and pensions were put at risk," Axelrod wrote in the memo released Wednesday.

Axelrod sought to link Romney's Bain record with his Massachusetts experience by noting that Romney ran for governor on the basis of his private-sector background. "Under Gov. Romney, the Massachusetts economy was not at the top or even in the middle, but close to the bottom of all the states," he wrote.

Republicans contend that Obama's critique of the Bain record will backfire because it will give voters the impression that he is anti-business. The focus on Obama's green energy record, including Energy Department funding for companies like Solyndra, gives Romney a chance to rebut Bain because Republicans say Obama essentially played the role of venture capitalist by investing government money in green energy companies.

On Tuesday, Romney raised money in Las Vegas with Donald Trump, the real estate mogul who has stoked doubts about whether Obama was born in America. It was the start of a weeklong push to raise millions of dollars during a West Coast trip designed to help Romney bring in as much cash as possible ahead of a ramped-up campaign schedule later this summer.

The former Massachusetts governor was looking to take advantage of his official claiming of the nomination, a triumph of endurance for a candidate who came up short four years ago and had to fight hard this year as voters flirted with a carousel of GOP rivals. According to the Associated Press count, Romney surpassed the 1,144 delegates needed to win the nomination by winning 105 delegates in the Texas primary, pushing his total to 1,191 delegates.

Romney must now fire up conservatives who still doubt him while persuading swing voters that he can do a better job fixing the nation's struggling economy than Obama. In Obama, he faces a well-funded candidate with a proven campaign team in an election that will be heavily influenced by the economy.

Romney has scheduled fundraisers this week in wealthy California enclaves like Hillsborough, near San Francisco, and Beverly Hills. He has at least one major fundraising event every day for the rest of the week, as well as a series of smaller events.

Obama has scheduled a fundraising blitz Friday in Minneapolis and Chicago.

Ubuntu 12.04 ("Precise Pangolin")

What the heck is a pangolin?? With the latest edition of Canonical's popular free Linux distribution, Ubuntu, that's the biggest unanswered question.? It seems fair to assume that version 12.04 of the software has been nicknamed "Precise Pangolin" in tribute to the tropical mammal of Africa and Asia because of the hardened scales that cover its body. (Think of it as something like an armored anteater?which we assume Canonical would have considered as a nickname, were it working from the beginning of the alphabet.) The company may be sending the message that this operating system is safe, secure, and ready for anything?exactly the point of a Long-Term Support (LTS) release. If that is indeed the case, the appellation makes sense. And so does 12.04 itself, which, despite being behind a protective barrier, takes a few tentative?and welcome?steps toward additional innovation.

I suspect that those steps are as intended to be as much a broader play toward the enterprise market as a tip of the hat to 12.04's LTS status.? If this is going to be the "default" Ubuntu for a full two years, and Canonical is planning to support it for up to three years beyond that (an increase over previous LTS releases), everything should be usable and right?and, should there be an influx of users from other operating systems, it's even more important.? So 12.04 is less about placating hard-core Linux lovers (who might not have come around to Unity yet) and put everyday folks at ease by giving them more of the options other bigger and more expensive operating systems have led them to expect.

Unity UI Updates
Precise Pangolin doubles down on Unity, the next-generation user interface designed to work equally well on desktops, laptops, netbooks, and tablets that has defined Ubuntu for better or worse for the last year and a half (since the 10.10 Netbook Edition).? Much as Microsoft is digging in its heels with Windows 8, so is Canonical with Unity.? Yet every new Ubuntu release receives some minor tweak that plays with the formula a bit, trying to find the ideal blend of appearance and usability.? I like Unity more than a lot of people do, so I don't need much, but there have been three key advances to it this time around that everyone is likely to find welcome and useful.? They also show that Canonical isn't resting on its laurels when it comes to attracting new users.

First is the Heads-Up Display, or HUD. It implements a typable search interface very much along the lines of what you get in Windows 7 if you hit the Windows key and then start typing.? Here, press the Alt key, type the first few characters of what you're looking for, and Ubuntu will display a semi-transparent list of all the programs, files, and so on that match.? It's not only the natural evolution of the Dash that's been an integral part of Unity since the beginning, but it's also valuable for serious typists or die-hard command liners (many of whom probably use, or are at least familiar with, Linux already) who believe they can work faster without a mouse. My explorations with 12.04 have forced me to side with them; it looks like there are still a few oddities to iron out with the HUD (it didn't always display things I knew it should find, even when I typed what I considered the most sensible keyword), but it's already difficult to imagine how Ubuntu got along without the HUD.? It won't speed up everyone's computing experience, but power users will definitely benefit from it.

Then there are Nautilus Quicklists. By right-clicking on icons on the desktop Launch bar, you receive a short menu of options that list the various additional ways you may interact with that program.? If you've seen or used Jump Lists in Windows 7, you'll understand the basic idea here; they represent a potentially major increase in usability for the applications that take advantage of them.? You won't necessarily see a ton of choices in each one, at least at this point (the included LibreOffice suite, for example, uses practically none), but the ones that do exist help you supercharge Ubuntu by doing a lot more with a lot less clicking.

Last but not least of the big three changes is the new video lens. Just as previous lenses in the Dash made it easy to search for things like files and music, so does this one simplify the process of tracking down videos?and it doesn't just search your PC, it can also draw results from major websites like YouTube.? The video lens, like the HUD and Quicklists, represents an amplified recognition of the way people use their computers today, and many users?particularly beginners (or Microsoft crossovers?)?will undoubtedly appreciate having so many options at their disposal.

Pangolin Performance
Those are the biggest technical changes in 12.04, and they're more than enough?but Canonical has made a few other adjustments as well.? Perhaps the most astonishing is the increase in performance:? In our testing 12.04 was noticeably faster than 11.10 ("Oneiric Ocelot") in terms of navigation, opening programs, and booting. In my tests, the latest version of Ubuntu started up several seconds more quickly?a very impressive improvement.?

The Software Center, for downloading and buying programs to use in Ubuntu, now allows PayPal transactions, personalized recommendations, and sharing software with friends (through use of Web Directory), and it automatically installs language support packages. The System Settings window has received a couple of updates, and it's easier to find configuration options in there now?including Appearance (replacing User Interface) for swapping out the OS's default theme.? Banshee, the default music player in 11.10, has been replaced with Rhythmbox, though you can of course change it (as you can with everything in Ubuntu).

With Ubuntu 12.04, Canonical has shown itself to be unusually cagey. As Microsoft pushes itself (and its users) toward Windows 8 and away from the traditional style of desktop interaction it's helped foster over the last 25 years, Canonical is continually in the process of making its software more like what Microsoft used to make?all while still acknowledging (with its bet-the-farm reliance on Unity) that the computer world is evolving.? In fact, 12.04 seems to be as much about Windows 8 (and its potential refugees) as it is about Ubuntu, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if the next incarnation of the OS (12.10, which will arrive in October) pushes this aspect even more forcefully.? I'm not positive that Ubuntu is yet the one-to-one Windows replacement it's obviously aspiring to be, but 12.04 comes tantalizingly close to the mark.? Whether the gamble will pay off remains to be seen, but it's obvious that this pangolin isn't just precise?it's also incredibly prudent.

SpaceX's Dragon craft is a star performer, so far (+video)

The Dragon spacecraft passed the underside of the space station and correctly calculated the distance between the two ? two tests it cleared with flying colors on Thursday. The craft, owned by SpaceX, is set to dock on Friday.

With the relentless flash of a strobe light and some on-board number crunching, SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft cleared two more significant milestones Thursday in the company's effort to become the first commercial launch service to carry cargo to the International Space Station.

Appearing like a gnat silhouetted against the brilliance of Earth's cloud tops, Dragon passed within 1.5 miles of the station's underside in a test of its ability to receive data from the space station on the station's position ? determined by Global Positioning System satellites ? and accurately determine the distance and relative positions between the two craft.

In addition, space-station flight engineer Andr? Kuipers activated a strobe light on Dragon, showing that the station crewmembers could command the cargo craft from their enviable perch in the multiwindowed cupola on the station ? in essence the station's control tower for overseeing the arrival and departure of spacecraft from station partners.

SpaceX already is under a $1.6 billion contract with NASA for 12 cargo missions through 2015. But the company has its sights set on more than rations and experiment samples.?A successful cargo service also paves the way for sending humans into space.

The company currently is one of four firms in which NASA is investing almost $270 million to develop human-spaceflight capabilities in the second phase of its commercial-crew development project. NASA is relying on commercial providers to ferry crews and cargo to and from the space station so that the agency can focus its human-spaceflight efforts on exploring space beyond low-Earth orbit, the space station's domain.

SpaceX's entry into that competition is a human-rated version of the Falcon 9 rocket, which lofted Dragon, and the Dragon craft. SpaceX designed Dragon from the outset to ferry people as well as petri dishes.

Thursday's activities would have wrapped up this mission in a sequence of three demonstration flights NASA originally envisioned for SpaceX. Efforts to dock with the station would have been the third mission. But the company was able to show that the two missions could be combined.

The intense preparations appear to have paid off so far. NASA and SpaceX have worked together on this mission for five years and began joint simulations nearly three years ago, notes John Couluris, SpaceX's mission director for this flight. The pace picked up during the past 18 months, with NASA and SpaceX conducting nearly 20 joint simulations and the company conducting more than 40 internally.

New drug strategy attacks resistant leukemia and lymphoma

Scientists at the Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center have developed an anti-cancer peptide that overcomes the stubborn resistance to chemotherapy and radiation often encountered in certain blood cancers when the disease recurs following initial treatment.

The strategy could pave the way for much needed new therapies to treat relapsed and refractory blood cancers, which are difficult to cure because their cells deploy strong protein "deflector shields" to neutralize the cell death signals that chemotherapy agents used against them initially, say the researchers.

The prototype compound, called a "stapled BIM BH3 peptide," is designed to disable the cancer's defenses by hitting a family of protein targets that regulate cell death.

In proof-of-concept studies in mice with transplanted, drug-resistant leukemia tumors, the compound alone suppressed cancer growth, and when paired with other drugs, showed synergistic anti-cancer activity, say researchers led by Loren Walensky, MD, PhD, of Dana-Farber/Children's Hospital Cancer Center.

Their paper has been posted online by the Journal of Clinical Investigation and will appear in the journal's June issue. Walensky is the senior author and James LaBelle, MD, PhD, is the first author.

A cell's "fate" ? when and whether it lives or dies ? depends on a tug-of-war between pro-death and anti-death forces within the cell that serve as a check-and-balance system to maintain orderly growth. The system is regulated by the BCL-2 family of proteins, which contains both pro-death and pro-survival members.

When cells are no longer needed or are damaged beyond repair, the body activates pro-death BCL-2 proteins to shut down mitochondria ? the power plants of the cell? resulting in an orchestrated cellular destruction known as apoptosis, or programmed cell death.

Many cell-killing cancer treatments work by triggering these "executioner proteins" to cause tumor cells to commit suicide in this fashion. But cancer cells can escape their death sentence ? and even become immortal ? by hyperactivating the survival arm of the family; these proteins intercept the executioner proteins and block their lethal mission.

"When cancers recur, they activate not just one type of survival protein, but many," explains Walensky, whose laboratory has extensively studied the cell-death system and makes compounds to manipulate it for research and therapeutic purposes.

"It's as if relapsed cancers 'learned' from their initial exposure to chemotherapy such that when they come back, they put up a variety of formidable barriers to apoptosis," he adds. "To reactivate cell death in refractory hematologic cancers, we need new pharmacologic strategies that broadly target these obstacles and substantially lower the apoptotic threshold."

When cancers specifically rely on one or two survival proteins, treating them with selective BCL-2 inhibitors can be very effective at eliminating the cancer cells' survival advantage. But relapsed cancers often evade such agents by deploying a battery of alternate survival proteins, so what's needed, Walensky says, are "next-generation" compounds that can block a wider range of survival proteins without jeopardizing normal tissues.

In the current research, the scientists built a chemically-reinforced peptide containing the death-activating BH3 domain of an especially potent killer protein, BIM, which is able to tightly bind with and neutralize all of the BCL-2 family survival proteins. This 'stapled' peptide, which incorporates the natural structure and properties of BIM BH3, not only disables the survival proteins, but also directly activates pro-death BCL-2 family proteins in cancer cells, making them self-destruct. Importantly, non-cancerous cells and tissues were relatively unaffected by the treatment.

"The diversity of BCL-2 family survival proteins blunts the anti-tumor activity of essentially all cancer treatments to some degree," Walensky points out. "By using Nature's solution to broad targeting of the BCL-2 pathway with a stapled BIM BH3 peptide, our goal is to eliminate cancer's protective force field and enable the arsenal of cancer treatments to do their job."

Russian FM: Both Syrian sides to blame for deaths

MOSCOW (AP) ? Russia further backed away from its support of Syrian President Bashar Assad on Monday, saying his government bears the main responsibility for the violence in the country and calling for a full investigation into its role in the deaths of more than 100 civilians in Houla.

"Both sides have obviously had a hand in the deaths of innocent people, including several dozen women and children. This area is controlled by the rebels, but it is also surrounded by government troops," Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said after talks in Moscow with visiting British Foreign Secretary William Hague.

Lavrov spoke a day after Russia agreed to join the rest of the U.N. Security Council in blaming the Syrian government for attacking residential areas in Houla, a collection of villages near the central city of Homs. The council, however, avoided saying who was responsible for the massacre of at least 108 men, women and children.

Lavrov said there was no doubt that government forces had used artillery and tanks to shell Houla, but he noted that many of the dead appeared to have been shot at close range or tortured.

"The guilt has to be determined objectively," he said. "No one is saying that the government is not guilty, and no one is saying that the armed militants are not guilty."

In some of Russia's harshest criticism of Assad to date, Lavrov said his government "bears the main responsibility for what is going on" because it is failing to provide for the security of Syrian citizens. He hedged the criticism by claiming that Syria's government is facing an increased threat from terrorists, whose bombings have the "clear signature of al-Qaida."

Alexei Malashenko, a Middle East expert with the Carnegie Moscow Center, said Russia can no longer defend Assad's government and may be warning him that he needs to change his approach.

"Bashar Assad is driving himself and Russia into a corner," Malashenko said. "If this goes on, Russia will have no other option" but to pull its support. "Bashar has definitely gotten the sense that he may lose Russia's sympathy and he may step back a bit."

Lavrov and Hague both called for greater efforts to implement a peace plan put forward by special envoy Kofi Annan, who arrived in Damascus on Monday for talks with Assad and other senior Syrian officials. Annan's six-point plan calls on both sides to respect a cease-fire.

"It's right, as Sergey Lavrov has just done, to call on all parties to cease violence, and we are not arguing that all violence in Syria is the responsibility of the Assad regime, although it has the primary responsibility for such violence," Hague said.

Lavrov added that "we don't support the Syrian government, we support Kofi Annan's plan."

The Russian envoy called for everyone in the international community to exert more pressure on both sides to implement Annan's plan, saying it was not clear from talks with opposition members that they were getting the message that the plan had full international support. He said talk about the need for Assad to step down cast doubt on the West's commitment to the Annan plan and encouraged the opposition to keep up the fight.

Hague, however, confirmed that Britain still believes Assad should stand aside.

"But the important thing is that the Annan plan is pursued in whatever way it can be pursued," he said. "The alternatives are the Annan plan or ever-increasing chaos in Syria, and a descent closer and closer to all-out civil war and collapse."

China on Monday also condemned the killings of civilians in Houla and called for an end to the violence, but gave no indication it was rethinking its strategy toward the fighting in Syria.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Weimin said that Beijing fully supports Annan's mediation efforts and the UN monitors.

The protests against Assad began in March 2011 and turned into an uprising after his government responded with a violent crackdown on dissent. The U.N. estimated that at least 9,000 people were killed in the first year of the conflict, but hundreds more have been killed since then.

Children suffering from asthma: healthy tips - Muscle Works Magazine

---

Asthma is an allergic condition that affects nearly 50 million Americans. Though asthma is an untreatable condition, its symptoms can be managed with the right kind of disease management techniques.

Children are most susceptible to asthma because their young and vulnerable lungs are extremely susceptible to allergies and abrasive pollutants.

Many of the everyday things around out house, like pollen, dust mites and pet dander can trigger an asthma attack.

Here is how you can take control of childhood asthma:

The best way to avoid the symptoms of asthma is by avoiding the triggers. Since it can be often difficult to find out the exact things that trigger an asthma attack, it is better to avoid all triggers which are associated with asthma.

Keep your house clean and avoid taking your child where there is a lot of smoke and pollution.

Working together with your child?s doctor is very important when it comes to managing asthma. To manage asthma well, discuss your child?s treatment plan with your doctor extensively. In order to make sure that your child remains well, ask the doctor to give you an action plan in case an attack is triggered. Keep a track of all the medications that your child has to take and always make sure that your child carries an inhaler on their person.

Make sure that the school you are sending your child to is asthma friendly. Discuss your child?s condition with their teacher and explain to them the action plan to be followed if your child has an attack.

Cigarette smoke can be very dangerous for your child who has asthma. If you or someone in your house smokes, either quit smoking or never smoke around the child. Passive smoke can be one of the triggers of asthma, therefore, remove your child from a place where there is a lot of smoke present.

Make sure that your child?s toys and other playthings are hypoallergenic. Even the clothes that you buy for your child should be hypoallergenic so that your child does not get allergic to their stuffed animals or clothes.

If even after all the precautions you have taken, your child experiences an asthma attack, be ready with your action plan and administer the medications as directed by the doctor. It is also important for you to know when to get emergency care for your child. It is always better to be prepared to wheel your child to the ER.

Legal versus Medical Education and some blatant 'crowdsourcing'

In many posts on the state of legal education and the legal profession (on this blog and others) I've seen repeated references to medical education. While I imagine that there exist certain "apples and oranges" aspects to this comparison, it is intriguing. However, I am going to state something that I think might apply to a lot of people - that is, while I have a vague notion of what occurs in medical education (from TV and movies), I feel that I don't really know enough about it to make proper comparisons to legal education (something on which I have experience from both sides of the podium).

Therefore, my purpose here is to blatently 'crowdsource' this information. I have a few questions (ok, a lot of questions) posted below for folks who have experiences with medical education (preferably first-hand, but second-hand is ok too). In the best case scenario we might get some JD/MDs to weigh in on this matter.

If there is any interest, I'd be happy to share my comparative experiences as a new lawyer vs. political science PhD grad (and perhaps fellow guest prawfs blogger Bob Howard can chime in on this)? - although there may not be a great market for that discussion? ;-)

Jeff

1) How difficult is it to get into medical school? (gpa, % test scores, etc.)

2) How much does it cost to go to medical school? (per yer tuition for private/public; how many years do you pay full tuition, etc.)

3) Um, what happens in class? 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, etc.? How are you tested/graded? Is it very competitive (e.g. backbiting) or is it 'everyone's a winner'?

4) What are faculty teaching loads? How are they evaluated for rank/tenure (research; teaching evaluations) ? Are rank and tenure the same as in law and/or other fields (e.g. assistant, associate, full)? How are faculty recruited? What is faculty worklife like? Do they make significantly less than non-faculty doctors?

5) How important are grades for medical students in getting jobs? Is there a significant split (as there seems to be in law) between the salaries for the top 15% of the class (or top 15 law school) and the rest? What else matters?

6) How much do doctors make after they begin private practice? Five years out? Ten years out? Is there a large gap between pay for rural vs. urban areas?? (Related to question #3 please discuss salaries during the residency years - this question is about after all of that)

7) How mobile are medical degrees/licenses? How difficult is it to start a practice in another state?

8) How hard is it to get a job as a doctor as a new graduate?

I know a couple of things Med and Law Schools have in common: they do not require of entering students much competency in STEM and, in the 3-4 years they pretend to teach the student, they do nothing to remedy the situation. Surprisingly, the English Language skills of the students do not seem to be that much better.

The obfuscating prose of lawyers is legendary, but try reading anything a doc or nurse writes, whether in the NYT or in a professional journal, and you will see numerous instances of "at risk for [some disease]" where "at risk of [some disease]" would be the proper form. These are folks who are missing some serious processing between ear and tongue.

It is disastrous for this country that so many of POTUS, COTUS and SCOTUS are drawn from the miserable pool of law-school grads, most of whom have taken undergrad degrees in mickey-mouse majors like History, Philosophy, English and International Affairs. That accounts for the fact that only Breyer of 9 on SCOTUS, only some 8 of 535 in COTUS, and nobody since Carter as POTUS has shown any sophistication when it comes to STEM.

(1) Medical admissions are more competitive than law school admissions. The overall acceptance rate is about 10%, and is well under 5% for the most selective schools. Median GPAs are typically between 3.5 and 3.8.

(2) Private tuition and fees are typically on the order of $50,000 a year, as are public non-resident tuition and fees. In-state students at public medical schools may pay half of that.

(3) First and second years are all-day five-day-a-week lectures, taught by a large and rotating cast of faculty. Exams are generally multiple-choice or objective (very) short answer (e.g. "name this body part."). The emphasis is strongly on memorization of large quantities of material. Depending on the school, the lectures may be intercut with simulations, small-group discussions, and shadowing affiliated doctors--but these aren't the dominant part of the curriculum. Third and fourth years are spent rotating through a wide variety of medical specialties, shadowing actual doctors, answering questions they put to you, and doing whatever smaller tasks make you most useful. (E.g., in surgery, "Hold this and don't move for the next two hours.") Grading in third and fourth years is based on some tests, but more on evaluations by the doctors with whom one works.

(4) Faculty are split between practicing doctors, laboratory researchers, and a (much) smaller contingent of lecturers. There are typically many more of them than at a law school, with much lighter individual classroom teaching loads. (E.g., it is not uncommon for a doctor's entire classroom teaching responsibilities for a year to be a week's worth of lectures.) Grading is trivial, due to the objectively graded exams. These faculty should generally be thought of as doctors and bench scientists first, and as teachers second: they just happen to have "faculty" positions that require some teaching, and they're hired for their other work. Promotion within the faculty ranks is based on research. Residents and affiliated physicians may do some TA-like precpting work.

(5) Grades in medical school are important only in not flunking out and in applying for residencies. The other important factor in residency applications is recommendations from doctors one worked with during third and fourth year. After that, the brand name of one's residency program, recommendations, and personal contacts are the most important factors in finding a job. Thus, grades (especially first- and second-year grades) matter, but in an indirect way that can be compensated for later.

(6) The principal exception to this point is that salaries diverge strikingly based on medical specialty. ROAD specialties (Radiology, Opthalmology, Anesthesiology, and Dermatology) are reported to have the highest salaries, and family practice the lowest. The AAMC reports a range from perhaps $150,000 for lower-paying specialties to $350,000 and up for the higher-paying ones. There's geographic variation, too, and seniority, and type of practice, so it gets complicated quickly. Thus, medical school grades can have a significant effect on your job and salary by affecting what specialty you get a residency in.

(7) The licensing practice is absurdly annoying, but it's less of a big deal than retaking the bar exam. Each state has its own licensing board, there are controlled-substance rules, etc. -- it adds up to a lot of paperwork and delay to be licensed in a new state. But the crucial exams and certifications are national.

(8) Because of the residency requirement, no medical school graduate can go out and just start working as a doctor. But there are well more than enough residency slots to go around (provided one is willing to compromise on geography or specialty). Leaving residency, the norm is that everyone who still wants to work as a doctor will find a job. Put another way, our regulatory system has too few residency slots given the demand for doctors, and too few medical school slots given the number of residency slots.

Also, pace Jimbino, medical schools generally require 32 course hours of STEM work in college -- 8 in biology, 8 in physics, and 16 in chemistry -- plus the MCAT, a majority of which tests science. Given the competitive nature of medical school admissions, a year of math and a year of biochemistry are strongly encouraged.

Now, it's time for the gentle scolding. All of your questions are amenable to Googling. All of them. I have enough secondhand experience with medical school that it wasn't hard for me to give (partial) answers. But really, shouldn't crowdsourcing be saved for questions to which crowds can give better answers?

Pasta Dishes | Food and Drink Site - Kleefischkwynonas blog ...

My spouse and i often speculate recommendations exactly why We nonetheless adore ?getty or perhaps noodles so much nowadays. I?m never fairly confident that it?s the style or the storage however have a very experiencing it is just a minor involving both. Read the entree dishes I?m sharing below.

Mark Landsbaum: California's risky bet on Facebook

California government may receive a windfall from huge capital-gains taxes on the sale of Facebook stock following the Palo Alto social-networking behemoth's recent initial public offering.

Or not.

Some were disappointed that the stock opened at $38 only to drop within a few days to $31.

A worst-case scenario for Gov. Jerry Brown and his Democratic Party colleagues desperate to shore up the state budget would be if resales of Facebook stock kept declining in value, not only eliminating capital gains, but providing tax deductions for selling shares at less than their purchase price.

The point isn't whether Facebook is a risky investment. It may or may not enrich the state's treasury. Brown estimated as much as $1.5 billion in tax revenue by fiscal year end.

But Moody's Investor Services warned: "Because capital-gains revenues are volatile and difficult to forecast, there is no guarantee that the state will receive the amount" it estimates, adding, "the state could receive much less, or much more."

The point is, Brown and friends don't know, one way or the other.

Nevertheless, as always, the powers that be in Sacramento put the best face on the prospects. And plan to spend accordingly. Their spending plans almost always outstrip their ability to fleece, ahem, make that to tax Californians.

What if Brown put the people he served first? Then he wouldn't continually disappoint. Brown's budget assumes his $8.5 billion tax increase will pass in November. Why not budget for it not passing? "He has," you say? Well, he has a contingency to trigger spending cuts if it doesn't pass.

That's not the same. It's a fundamentally flawed approach. It builds in disappointment. Brown should operate the way good businesses do. They underpromise and overdeliver. That minimizes disappointment and, occasionally, pleasantly surprises those served.

Instead, Brown overpromises, and consequently nearly always underdelivers. That maximizes disappointment. And leaves those served grumbling.

When ambitious promises fail to materialize, underserved people become irritated, feeling victimized by false advertisements. In the private sector, repeatedly overpromising and underdelivering results in customers who stop buying, and flee.

Brown's customers can't stop buying what government sells. But they can flee. And they have been, to other states.

Brown's revised proposed budget for the coming fiscal year, starting July 1, would spend a combined $224 billion in its general, special, bond and federal funds. That's $30 billion more than the state spent in 2007-08, the year before the recession hit.

If anything is obvious, it's that the top priority for Brown and fellow Democrats is getting more of the people's money, not serving people well.

They resemble Rocco, the gangster character in the 1948 movie "Key Largo," portrayed by Edward G. Robinson. Rocco was a ruthless mobster, and single-minded. What did Rocco want?

"He wants more. Don't you, Rocco?" says the character played by Humphrey Bogart.

"That's it! More," Rocco beams. "That's right, I want more!"

"Will you ever get enough? Will you, Rocco?"

"Well, I never have. No, I guess I won't."

The Capitol crowd resembles Rocco. They always want more tax money, and they have yet to get enough.

Brown laments that the general fund portion of his budget is $17 billion short of how much he wants to spend. He doesn't remind voters that, as the Wall Street Journal's Alyssa Finley pointed out, for "several years legislators have been using special funds (fees earmarked for specific purposes) to pay for programs that are usually financed by general fund spending." Instead, Brown says he needs more ? another $8.5 billion from taxpayers, to whom he literally has pleaded to increase their own taxes at the polls in November.

Will he ever get enough? To ask the question is to answer it.

Brown & Co. are like slick grifters, who con naive grandmotherly types. They promise great rewards, perhaps a gilded high-speed locomotive, or they pull at the heartstrings: "It's for the children."

They do whatever it takes to get granny to the bank to withdrawal her savings, using whatever pretense that works. Once her life savings are liquid, the old shell game soon separates the foolish taxpayers, uh, grandmothers, from their money.

Brown wants to persuade voters to approve just one more "temporary" tax increase. Even though the Capitol mob said the same thing in 2009, the last time they tried to shove a temporary tax increase down voters' throats. Voters responded with a loud "No," by 2-1 at the polls, probably because the vote came only months after the Legislature had shoved an even larger temporary tax increase down taxpayers' throats, on the promise it would be the last time.

More. It's the Sacramento motto. It should be embossed on their business cards.

In 2006, the Legislature celebrated saving the Earth from global warming by passing the arrogantly named Global Warming Solutions Act. We suspected it was more about control and money than temperatures.

Sure enough. Global warming, the nonthreatening condition that has risen and fallen for centuries before SUVs and smokestacks, remains unsolved. But the Act enabled Brown's Air Resources Board to impose a cap-and-trade scheme to force companies to pay billions to the state for the privilege of doing what they've always done, emit harmless CO2.

That pot of gold promises to provide Sacramento's tax-and-spenders much more of what they want most. Other people's money.

Earlier this year Brown admitted he hopes to use billions pried from industrial emitters' wallets to spend on his pet project, an all-but-gilded bullet train. If you wonder whether a train that requires massive construction, generating plenty of CO2 emissions in the process, is a tenuous link to fighting global warming, you're not alone.

But that's the M.O. of those who want "more." The Legislature previously sought to snatch cities and counties' gasoline and property taxes because, well, because it could. State lawmakers grabbed cities' and counties' redevelopment funds, because they could.

The Capitol gang even "borrowed" money designated for public schools to shore up gaps elsewhere in the budget. Because they could. Most recently, they want to use $400 million from a national settlement by banks earmarked for foreclosure prevention and investigation of fraud to pay the state's bills instead. Because they can.

When the governor emerges every January to declare yet another chapter in the government's ongoing saga of too-little revenue, too-much-spending, one might suspect he's not very good at budgeting.

We suspect Brown is brighter than he appears. We think he knows the initial 130-mile stretch of track for his high-speed train simply will squander $6 billion in state and federal funds. He reads the newspaper. He knows not another dime of federal funding will arrive any time in the foreseeable future.

Brown knows that if he's going to get more money, he first must squander the initial $6 billion. Once the seal is broken, and voter-approved bonds are sold to finance the dead-end train's initial leg, then it will be easier to persuade people that the remaining $6 billion in bonds should be sold, too. Even though that still would leave the train $50 billion to $100 billion short of what is needed to complete the project, it won't matter. Billions will be liquid. Fungible. That will make it possible to divert the cash for other spending plans. Time for the old shell game. If you doubt it, just ask cities and counties.

Brown and Capitol Democrats desperately seek jackpots, like crazed gamblers hoping the next roll of the dice will make up for their string of bad bets.

But they have a reverse Midas touch, spreading the poison inherent in taxation. Everything they touch wilts and dies. Witness the unmistakable exodus of taxpaying Californians and job-producing businesses to other states. In fact, these taxers and spenders are Rumplestiltskin in reverse. They spin straw from California's one-time Golden State.

Our hunch is that this won't end soon. Not as long as Brown & Co. can beg, borrow and steal: beg voters to "Please" approve more taxes, as the governor recently did; borrow, as the Legislature has from school funds; and steal from cities and counties.

Grandmas, lock up your savings. The Capitol Gang is on the prowl for "more."

Samsung Claims 4G Galaxy Tab Isn't Directly Competing with iPad 2

Published on 05-27-2012 01:35 AM

As of right now, both Samsung is amidst fighting Apple?s requests for a preliminary injunction against its Galaxy Tab with the argument that the 4Gcapablity if its tablet means it does not directly compete with Apple?s 3G equipped iPad 2. It was just earlier this month, Apple succeeded in reactivating a motion for a preliminary injunction against its rival?s tablet. The appeals court overturned Judge Lucy Koh?s denial of an injunction for the Galaxy Tab, but left the ruling against an injunction on smartphones.

According to FOSS Patents, Samsung filed for an opposition to Apple?s claims. Florian Mueller states that Apple is ?starting from a far better position? with its new motion for an injunction, although a win is far from being guaranteed. In order to win, Apple would need to convince the court of four factors: ?likelihood of success on the merits; likelihood of irreparable harm; balancer of the equities; public interest.? After the appeal court overturned Koh?s assertion that Apple?s design patent was invalid, Apple is more likely to convince the court of the merits of its case. Meanwhile, both Koh and the federal Court of Appeals are in agreement that the case for irreparable harm has been established. Mueller did note that at least one circuit judge believed Apple should prevail on all four factors.

Mueller continued to note that ?Judge O?Malley indicated between the lines that she considers Samsung a reckless infringer whose Galaxy Tab 10.1 should be shut down sooner rather than later, and she clearly wants patent holders to have great access to injunctive relief.? A large part of Samsung?s argument against the injunction in Friday?s filing is based off the claim that, since Apple lacks a 4G version of the iPad 2, the 4G Galaxy Tab doesn?t compete directly with the device. The company also claimed that an injunction would disrupt its partnership with carriers since Samsung has teamed up with carriers to sell the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with 4G contracts.

It was noted that Samsung?s argument is ?not without merit? though it was also believed that it?s ?too weak to avoid a preliminary injunction.? Samsung didn?t take into account that ?4G devices are backward-compatible? and that customers might use them in off-line mode or on 3G networks as well. ?Even if someone thinks that 4G is desirable, I doubt that the number of customers who are out to buy only a 4G tablet is limited.?

The report continues to point out that Samsung is likely to lose during the injunction phase because it could have modified its product in the time since Apple first filed its preliminary injunction motion but chose not to. The Korean company released a redesigned Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany last year in order to work around a sales ban in the country.

Syria Violence: Dozens Of Children Killed In New Attack

BEIRUT -- Gruesome video Saturday showed rows of dead Syrian children lying in a mosque in bloody shorts and T-shirts with gaping head wounds, haunting images of what activists called one of the deadliest regime attacks yet in Syria's 14-month-old uprising.

The shelling attack on Houla, a group of villages northwest of the central city of Homs, killed more than 90 people, including at least 32 children under the age of 10, the head of the U.N. observer team in Syria said.

The attacks sparked outrage from U.S. and other international leaders, and large protests in the suburbs of Syria's capital of Damascus and its largest city, Aleppo. It also renewed fears of the relevance of a month-old international peace plan that has not stopped almost daily violence.

The U.N. denounced the attacks in a statement that appeared to hold President Bashar Assad's regime responsible, and the White House called the violence acts of "unspeakable and inhuman brutality."

"This appalling and brutal crime involving indiscriminate and disproportionate use of force is a flagrant violation of international law and of the commitments of the Syrian government to cease the use of heavy weapons in population centers and violence in all its forms," said U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and international envoy Kofi Annan. "Those responsible for perpetrating this crime must be held to account."

More than a dozen amateur videos posted online Saturday gave glimpses of the carnage, showing lines of bodies laid out in simple rooms, many with bloody faces, torsos and limbs. In some places, residents put chunks of ice on the bodies to preserve them until burial.

One two-minute video shows at least a dozen children lined up shoulder to shoulder on a checkered blanket on what appears to be the floor of a mosque. Blood trickled from one girl's mouth. One boy, appearing to be no more than 8, had his jaw blown off. The video shows flowered blankets and rugs covering several rows of other bodies.

Another video posted Saturday showed a mass grave, four bodies wide and dozens of meters (yards) long.

Activists from Houla said Saturday that regime forces peppered the area with mortars after large demonstrations against the regime on Friday. That evening, they said, pro-regime fighters known as shabiha stormed the villages, gunning down men in the streets and stabbing women and children in their homes.

A local activist reached via Skype said regime forces fired shells at Houla, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) northwest of Homs. The shabiha entered the villages, raiding homes and shooting at civilians, Abu Yazan said. More than 100 people were killed, more than 40 of them children and most of them in the village of Taldaw, he said. Many had stab wounds, another activist said.

"They killed entire families, from parents on down to children, but they focused on the children," Yazan said.

The Syrian government blamed the killings on "armed terrorist groups" ? a term it often uses for the opposition ? but provided no details or death toll.

But like U.N. officials, the White House issued a statement directed at the regime.

The U.S. is "horrified" by the Houla attacks, National Security Council spokeswoman Erin Pelton said in a statement. "These acts serve as a vile testament to an illegitimate regime that responds to peaceful political protest with unspeakable and inhuman brutality."

U.N. observers, among more than 250 who were dispatched in recent weeks to salvage the cease-fire plan, found spent artillery tank shells at the site Saturday, and U.N. officials confirmed the shells were fired at residential neighborhoods. The head of the team, Maj. Gen. Robert Mood, called the attack a "brutal tragedy."

The bloodshed is yet another blow to the international peace plan brokered by Annan and cast a pall over his coming visit to check on the plan's progress. The cease-fire between forces loyal to the regime of Assad and rebels seeking to topple it was supposed to start on April 12 but has never really taken hold, with new killings every day.

The U.N. put the death toll weeks ago at more than 9,000. Hundreds have been killed since.

The grisly images were condemned by anti-regime groups and political leaders around the world.

"With these new crimes, this murderous regime pushes Syria further into horror and threatens regional stability," French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said in a statement Saturday.

The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights released an unusually harsh statement, saying Arab nations and the international community were "partners" in the killing "because of their silence about the massacres that the Syrian regime has committed."

The Houla villages are Sunni Muslim. The forces came from an arc of nearby villages populated by Alawites, members of the offshoot of Shiite Islam to which Assad belongs, the activists said.

The activists said the Houla killings appeared to be sectarian between the two groups, raising fears that Syria's uprising, which started in March 2011 with protests calling for political reform, is edging closer to the type of war that tore apart Syria's eastern neighbor, Iraq.

"I don't like to talk about sectarianism, but it was clear that this was sectarian hatred," said activist Abu Walid.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 96 people were killed, 26 of them children and four of them army defectors.

The group's head, Rami Abdul-Rahman, who relies on activists inside Syria, said all were killed in shelling, but that no forces entered Houla.

Syrian state TV condemned the opposition groups for the "massacre" in a statement Saturday.

"The armed groups are escalating their massacres against the Syrian people only days before international envoy Kofi Annan's visit in a bid to defeat his plan and a political solution to the crisis and with the aim of exploiting the blood of Syrians in the media bazar," it said.

The videos could not be independently verified. The Syrian government bars most media from operating inside the country.

The harsh condemnation from anti-regime groups reflects their growing frustration with international reluctance to intervene in Syria's conflict.

World powers have fallen in behind the U.N. plan. The U.S. and European nations say they will not intervene militarily, and while Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Libya have said they will arm Syria's rebels, no country is known to be doing so.

A spokeswoman for the opposition Syrian National Council called on the U.N. Security Council "to examine the situation in Houla and to determine the responsibility of the United Nations in the face of such mass killings, expulsions and forced migration from entire neighborhoods."

Also Saturday, the story of 11 Lebanese Shiites who were reported kidnapped in Syria this week took another strange turn.

Lebanese officials first said their expected arrival on a plane from Turkey to Lebanon late Friday was delayed for "logistical reasons."

On Saturday, Turkey's Foreign Ministry denied the men were in Turkey ? raising new questions about their fate.

Lebanese and Syrian officials blamed Syrian rebels for Tuesday's kidnapping. No group has claimed responsibility.

Greek euro exit would be a recipe for hardship

ATHENS, Greece (AP) ? As Greece creaks under its untenable debt and a shrinking economy, the possibility that it could stop using the euro is becoming increasingly likely. The effects of such a move would be as quick as they would be brutal for ordinary Greeks, who would essentially take a 50-percent pay cut just as prices soar.

Here's a look at what else could happen:

THE RETURN OF THE DRACHMA

No other country has ever left the 17-country eurozone before and there are no procedures in the EU's vast rulebook that would push any country out. But one fear is that the Greeks could decide to vote in an anti-austerity government on June 17 that may then decide to renege on the terms of the multi-billion-euro bailout which has been keeping the country afloat. Greece could be then forced into a messy exit from the euro bloc. It would then have no choice but to start printing its own currency ? the drachma ? to pay its way.

According to the Greek think tank Foundation for Economic and Industrial Research (IOBE), such a move would hit the Greek people hard ? and quickly. The new drachma would lose half or more of its value relative to the euro. This would drive up inflation and sap the purchasing power of the average Greek. At the same time, the country's economic output would drop, putting more people out of work where one in five is already unemployed. The prices of imported goods would skyrocket, putting them out of reach for many.

THE DASH FOR CASH

The prospect of Greece leaving the euro and dealing with a devalued drachma has already prompted many people to start withdrawing their euros out of the country's banks.

"Fear has gripped many who are withdrawing their money," said IOBE head of research Aggelos Tsakanikas.

Although the latest bank deposit figures aren't yet available, Greek President Karolos Papoulias last week said about ?700 million ($898 million) in deposits was taken out of banks the week after the May 6 election. What's more, according to central bank data, Greek banks have been hemorrhaging money for almost three years now ? from a high of ?237.8 billion ($302.5 billion) worth of deposits in Sept. 2009 down to ?165.3 billion ($210.3 billion) in March this year.

A victory for anti-bailout lawmakers in the June 17 election would likely trigger an even bigger bank run, said Dimitris Mardas, associate professor of economics at the University of Thessaloniki. Greek authorities, Mardas predicts, would respond by imposing controls on the movement of money for as long as it takes for the panic to subside.

WHAT ABOUT HOMES AND SAVINGS?

As the new drachma quickly loses its value against other currencies, ordinary Greeks' savings and pensions will shrink just as rapidly. Analyst Vangelis Agapitos estimates that inflation under the new drachma would quickly reach 40 to 50 percent to catch up with the fall in the new currency's value. This would make everything much more expensive.

"People are going to need five times the amount of money they would have needed to purchase something," Agapitos said.

To stop the falling value of the drachma, interest rates would have to be increased to as high as 30 to 40 percent, according to Agapitos. People will then be unable to pay off their loans and mortgages and the country's banks would have to be nationalized to stop them from going under, he predicts.

FEW BENEFITS FOR BUSINESS

Some Greeks believe quitting the euro would boost the country's economy as a devalued drachma would make Greek exports cheaper.

But Constantine Michalos, president of the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry, says Greece doesn't have a strong enough export-oriented economy to take advantage of a devalued currency. The country currently imports twice as much as it exports.

"Without any real heavy industry, the Greek economy can't exploit this advantage," Michalos said. "Our main industry is tourism, but in a chaotic situation, which tourist would choose to come to Greece right after the country goes back to the drachma?"

To get its international bailouts, Greece had to embark on a series of economic and market reforms such as reducing a bloated public sector and cutting red tape. Agapitos warns that if Greece dumps the euro, the incentive to carry out these reforms would evaporate, hurting Greece's competitiveness.

GETTING IT ON THE BLACK MARKET

A drachma that is dwindling in value means that even basic, foreign-produced goods such as medicines or fuel will cost much more. Almost inevitably, a thriving black market would emerge, taking more steam out of the economy just as bank loans become much more difficult to pay off.

Vangelis, a 58-year-old former customs official who didn't want to give his full name, worried that going back to the drachma would return Greece to the abject poverty of 1940s when it was under Nazi occupation.

"We'll be paying half our salary for a can of olive oil ... Greeks can't be thinking about returning to the drachma. It would be a catastrophe, a catastrophe," Vangelis said.

TURNING TO A LIFE OF CRIME?

With all the pain a drachma-based economy would induce, IOBE head of research Aggelos Tsakanikas foresees an increase in crime as people struggle to pay bills. "We won't see tanks in the streets and violence, we won't see people starving in the streets, but crime could very well rise," he said.

Others reject the apocalyptic scenarios altogether, saying Greeks will fall back on their resourcefulness to overcome hard times and lend a hand to those less well off.

"The way things are now, it can't get any worse," says Athens resident Tasos Schinas, 37. "Sure, the transition to the drachma will be difficult (but) average people will find a way to survive, many will probably go back to the village and start growing produce ... We just won't go back to the lifestyle we've led all this time."

Agapitos, the analyst, thinks that attitude is too cavalier.

"Desperate people do desperate things, but I can't predict what will happen," he said. "There will be rage and people will want to vent it but it may not be done in a civilized way."
