One of the biggest complaints against Apple from the dev community is the lack of transparency in how Apple reviews a prospective application for the App Store. We have our theories on what they do and how they do it and even sometimes "why," but only someone from Apple could say with any certainty just how thoroughly they look at the submissions and the reasons for some of the rejections More

He's pulling that number out of thin air, James. According to the National Center for Education Statistics survey of private schools, overall average tuition was $8549 in the 2007-2008 school year. That ranged from just under $5000 for Catholic elementary schools and up for other types of private schools. Also, you correctly point out that public schools spend far more for special education More

The only logical justification supporting the Keynesian "fiscal stimulus" theory is based on an economic identity:
M x V = P*T
where M is the quantity of money, V is the velocity of money, and P*T is the total monetary value of all economic transactions (conceptually, Price x number of Transactions).
Since the total monetary value of all economic transactions (in say, a year) is another More

This is exactly what the FDIC ordered them to do. Equity ratios are the proportion of equity to deposits. To increase the equity ratio, deposits have to be reduced.
If their disclosure says they can close the account and tender the balance, they can close the account and tender the balance, which it seems is exactly what they are doing. The depositor still got a higher interest rate More

Berwick has cited the UK's NICE as a model. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Institute_for_Health_and_Clinical_Excellence
NICE starts with a given figure for the value of a year of life -- last time I looked at the numbers, it was around $70,000 a year.If a test will make a difference in treatment, and that treatment will extend life or quality of life, and it costs less than $70,000 More

In America every year more than 400,000 lives are lost to lung cancer from cigarette smoking, an astounding 20% of all deaths. But yet, in the Obama Health Care Reform bill there is nothing about weaning Americans off cigarette smoking, no funds allocated to educating the public and warning young people about the dangers of cigarette smoking.
Last year I had a hernia operation. When More

You are comparing apples and oranges. I have no problem with the Chinese people. It is not about the Chinese population but security and defense. .
When we take all precautions that American embassies in other countries are closely supervised when built to prevent information/secret infiltration, how comfortable will it be to outsource to China, US stealth, etc? One does not need to More

One-child policy has definitely affected the population growth in China; however, do not be fooled as this policy is not 100% successful/enforceable. The government simply can't keep tabs on every family in China, nor can we expect them to -- there's just too many.
Many rural families have more than one child, and, as I was told by a friend of mine, a family can pay a "tax" to have more More
