Coopers & Lybrand, the Board filed suit due to Cooper’s failure to report discrepancies and inappropriate investments by the Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer Phillip R. Luhmann. According to Kilbride (2003, p.1), “in 1988, 1990, and 1992, the Board Adopted Resolutions authorizing its treasurer to invest City Colleges’ funds only in instruments permitted by the Public Funs Investment Act (Investment Act) (30ILCS 235/1 et seq, (West 2002).” It further implies that “the resolutions provided that the funds should be invested only in securities guaranteed as to payment of principal and interest by the full faith and credit of the United States of America.” (Kilbride, 2003) Before funds were needed, the securities were required to mature to minimize interest risk rating. Despite these rules, Mr. Luhmann invested funds in unauthorized securities. He continuously proceeded with these investments known as “pairing off”.” (Kilbride, 2003) In other words, he purchased a security and sold it as profit before payment was required.

...Bradley Kingery & Malik Barber 2/14/16 BIO 103-AC01 Professor John Law The Skeletal System Osteoporosis Summary Osteoporosis is a disease that makes bones fragile and more susceptible to fracture over time. It occurs when your body is losing bone cells faster than it can produce them, causing the bones to thin. It effects about half of all women over age 65, and close to one-fifth of men over 70. The most common injury in osteoporosis is ‘dowager’s hump,’ which is caused by the collapsing of the bones of the spine. This causes the curvature of the spine that the disease is so infamous for. Other common injuries include forearm fractures, knee fractures, and hip fractures which are often disabling and sometimes even fatal. On average, the United States spends around $14 billion on osteoporosis every year, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation. Many people think of bones as hard, stone-like objects. Bones are actually living, growing tissue made up of cells that are constantly being lost and replaced. There are three major components that form bones and keep them strong: calcium, collagen, and living bone cells. Collagen is a protein that gives bone flexibility, calcium keeps them strong and solid, while living bone cells are constantly replacing old ones. Many people wonder how bone grows if it is constantly being lost and replaced. The answer is that children and teenagers actually form new bone faster than they lose old bone. Even when teens have...

...patients, pharmacists also have to be up to date on the all laws, federal and state, and be watchful for those that try to fill fraudulent or altered scripts. Research suggests that there would be significant benefits if all prescribers would follow the same procedures for writing prescriptions, such as using computer generate prescriptions or E-scribe, because there would be a decrease in prescription writing errors, pharmacy mistakes and prescription fraud. Pharmacies call prescribers offices to clarify prescriptions information, on average 150 million times yearly. That’s what makes E-prescribing a valuable tool, it would monitor for drug interactions, by letting the prescriber know if there is a conflict with other medications (meds) the patient may be on, and gets rid of illegible prescriptions.

...COMPARISON AND CONTRAST OF THE PRIMARY FOCUS, METHODS & TOOLS OF INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGN, CURRICULUM DESIGN, & PROGRAM EVALUATION ADDIE model: ADDIE is an effective tool used by instructors to design and develop instruction material. It is very famous tool adapted by many instructors because of its flexibility as it can be modified as and whenever required by the instructor. This model was developed in 1970 for U.S army for educational technology by Florida State University’s Center. It’s a systematic model for instruction comprising of five phases: 1) Analysis 2) Design 3) Development 4) Implementation 5) Evaluation Phases of ADDIE: 1) Analysis: During the analysis phase, the learner’s goals, objectives and learning problems are identified by the instructor. The learning environment, modes of imparting the knowledge and any other constrain are also observed by the instructor. 2) Design: This is the next sequential stage in the ADDIE model where a blue print or prototype of the learning material is made catering to the needs of the learner. A detailed systematic design is created for the user here. 3) Development: Actual creation of the learning material It could be an integration of various tools and technologies. Developing the procedure for the maximum learning outcome is focused on this phase. 4) Implementation: The designed plan is put into action in this phase for the learner by imparting knowledge through the planned tools and activities. 5) Evaluation:...

OVERVIEW Health Service Support (HSS) of today's Marine Corps Operational Forces emphasizes the provision of far-forward, mobile, medical support in the stabilization and evacuation of casualties. The Aid Station is the HSS unit that will deliver these services to our Marine Corps Forces (MARFOR) in sustaining the combat power of the force. Throughout this lesson, the term Battalion Aid Station (BAS) is used to describe various Aid Stations. A true BAS is a term used to describe an Infantry Battalion Aid Station. Know that there are many different Aid Stations, i.e. BAS, Group Aid Station (GAS), Regimental Aid Station (RAS), etc., each with different numbers of personnel assigned. 2. MISSION OF THE AID STATION The Aid Station has a dual mission, one that will be fulfilled while in a field/combat environment, and the other fulfilled while in garrison. The mission of the aid station is to be the primary HSS source for a unit. While in a field/combat environment, the mission of the Aid Station is to minimize the effect wounds, injuries, and diseases have on a unit’s effectiveness, readiness and morale. Treatments such as surgical airways, administration of IV fluids and antibiotics, as well as stabilization of wounds and fractures are common. The mission of the Aid Station while in garrison is to keep the Marines assigned ready for deployment.
