Shortage in Psychiatrists: An Example of the Changing Demographics in the Workforce

What direction is the medical profession going?  As noted in a fellow blogger’s page http://drmichelletempest.blogspot.com/?expref=next-blog, the psychiatric profession is becoming thinner in numbers while the demand for these professionals increases.  It is quite interesting to see the impact of the current state of our medical system.  I wonder if this is a result of Obama care?  Nevertheless, it is sad to see that the experienced professionals are leaving the field to young and possibly overly enthusiast members of the medical profession.  I unfortunately do not know how to comment toward this situation: will the enthusiasm lead to greater patient care, or, a higher rate of misdiagnosis?  On another note, could this possibly lead to a situation similar to the education system in the US: too many students and too little time?

Speaking Freely: Analysis of AP Blog Fair Use Guidelines

News from Me, You, and US, as our followers are quite aware, is an effort to create a free media platform for topics of a wide variety.

If the answer to the previous question is yes, and, if this blog page is created by the alleged, then our site is a focus of the Associated Press and its efforts to impose guidelines to regulate fair use of information.
So, what exactly are the guidelines A.P. is proposing in its Fair Use Guidelines? Well, the primary complaint, according to Saul Hansell of the A.P.:

Introduction to Economics

Understanding the current state of our economy and the variables driving our current economic climate is a very difficult task.  The reason why is best explained by a quote from one of my most favored professors, Christopher Mushrush: “If you want to have a job which allows you to be 100% wrong 100% of the time, be an economist!”  With that being said, no matter which chief economist from whichever firm anyone references, the most important thing to consider is: when listening to these individuals try to understand how their statements relate to the laws of Economic Theory.  To accomplish this, one must have an understanding of Economic Theory.

Speaking Freely: Creating a More Perfect Media

As said by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg Address, “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth,” citizens of the United States believe that our republic is safeguarded by the democratic roots of the Declaration of Independence.  By utilizing these guidelines, the aim of this blog page is conceived through wisdom and dedicated to the proposition that all opinions are created equally and holds the opinion that a media of the people, by the people, for the people, shall birth a new medium to ensure we freethinkers shall not perish from the earth.
