Proceed with caution, 40% of grade ahead

What I don't understand about the economics class is why has it been split in two, Micro and Macro, both five weeks. It makes no sense, there is not enough material to be covered in the five weeks, especially when it comes to grading.

We've been reduced to:
20% participation (common who doesn't get full grade in that in post-graduate school)
20% home work
20% a small in class economic review
40% final presentation

The presentation is suppose to cover an economics of an industry. Between the members of my group we have Foods(Kraft), Electronic Home Installations(used to be Baumaster), Pharma(Taked), and Health Information Services(Allscripts, me).

We've decided to go with HIS, being exited about the $20 Billion in the stimulus package reserved for furthering that purpose only.

It's starnge to discover some of the information. While our bosses are painting everything with Unicorns farting rainbows, it seems that all is not well in Paradise.

For example, the industry is very fragmented. There are six players with market caps over a billion. The rest drops off with barely hitting $100 million mark, and there are a lot them. With these numbers there is very very very little interoperability and descent standards available. Which means, once you get into using EHR system, you are grandfathered in it for the rest of your natural life.

The standartization of industry is very young, less than three years, and rules are extremely complicated, so the entry to up the competition is fairly hard, especially if you don't have a lot of investment capital.

Anyways, the strangest thing is that there is a lot of information about the industry, but not a lot of information about the numbers of the industry, it's all hidden from the eyes of the public.

But, I believe we have scrapped together enough information for a good presentation.

That's it for today, there's a meme going around of which I may partake. I like it so far, but according to my profile as a Sociopath i am way to arrogant to jump on the bandwagon after it left, if conflicts with my sense of Superiority.

Things you never cared to know about Mayonnaise

I have decided to start a new Rubric. Once a week I will write a post about a random subject. Having the subject coming out of MY head, it can be about anything. I constantly have a lot of random "Why?" and "How does?" questions floating around in my head. I will try to explain how I arrived to the subject at hand and promise to do diligent research on Wikipedia and provide you, the unfortunate reader, with either the interesting or unusual bits of info. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! In addition to that I have a slight fetish for trivia. The rubric will be called: Things you never cared to know about Today's topic is Mayonnaise . How did I arrive to that? As I was making breakfast in the morning, I decided that I wanted to take a pita pocket and stuff it with something. The pitas are usually fairly dry, and you have to toast them. I did not have Hummus or Babaganoush (GOD! I just love saying BA-BA-GA-NOUSHHHHHHHHH!) I put a little Mayo inside to soften it up. So, ther

Crazy ideas - UPDATED

Here's a crazy survey I thought off. If you had a time machine where would you travel first? Assuming the fact of course of universal invincibility. ----UPDATE---- As my brother mentioned, with time travel universally available getting rich schemes would be less than doable. My aim is more towards investigating great mysteries of history. Therefore: a. To the Big Bang b. To see an asteroid killing dinosaurs c. To see the exodus of Jews as it really happened d. Try to see if Jesus hubbub really happened e. Forget the past, I'd go to the year 2020 to see who winds World Series and place a bet accordingly. f. Suggested by Ilya . Back a day or to to purchase winning lottery ticket. e. Try to see if Atlantis existed. f. Travel to the future to see the explosion of our Sun. I am torn between the dinosaurs and the World Series. Please suggest the choices. Should I add Buddha and Muhammed to the list as well? From the curiousity stand-point. I still rather see the dinosaurs.

Olympics

I watched the opening ceremony over the weekend (after all these years i still rave about TiVo). Am I the only one who is intimidated by the sheer amount of human power involved in the theatrics? I was impressed and a little scared at the same time. Paranoia kicking-in. Did they do that on purpose, to show how much cheap labor they can employ, to pull almost anything off?
