Buying and merchandising has historically been a candidate driven market. But 2011 sees more candidates than available jobs, across the board. This is as a result of the influx of candidates into the market as a result of redundancies, down-sizing and headcount freezes. Hiring managers are less inclined to make hasty hires, and the expectation is that candidates will be able to 'hit the ground running' and add value to the bottom line from day one. Employers can afford to be fussy and wait to offer the job to the candidate with a spot-on skill set. Despite what may ...

The Michigan House recently passed a bill that would require police to record all interrogations of serious felony cases, such as murder and armed robbery. Supporters of the bill say this requirement will make the system more honest and fair. Based on my personal experiences as a prosecutor and defense attorney, I agree. Some police departments already have implemented systems of routine recordings of interrogations. These departments have found that recordings have produced powerful evidence to use at trial. "A videotaped statement by the defendant is a critical ...

As if the airports weren't going to be busy enough this holiday weekend, travelers will be faced with new security measures that many are uncertain about.

The contentious dispute over the reliability of the Intoxilyzer 8000 may decided soon. In the DUI trial of Felicia Birdwell, testimony will center around whether prosecutors may introduce breath test results into evidence without calling an expert to testify as to machine's reliability to accurately measure a driver's BAC level. If the court rules in favor of prosecutors, they could ask juries to presume a driver was legally drunk based on breath test results alone. This would be a powerful weapon in DUI cases. Without this authority, prosecutors would have a difficult ...

Amsterdam, The Netherlands: For the first time researchers have been able to watch what happens to the brain as it loses consciousness. Using sophisticated imaging equipment they have constructed a 3-D movie of the brain as it changes while an anaesthetic drug takes effect.

Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) used as a weaning technique for mechanically ventilated patients can shorten intubation time and may reduce the risk of post-extubation acute respiratory failure (ARF), according to French researchers. They also found that NIV used as a post-intubation rescue therapy could significantly reduce the risk of reintubation and death. "While NIV used as a weaning technique did not reduce the risk of reintubation as compared with conventional weaning and standard oxygen therapy, we do think the reduced risk of reintubation or death with NIV used ...

Proactive telephone counseling helps smokers quit regardless of how they are recruited to a telephone quitline, according to a study published online June 10th in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Smokers who use telephone counseling quitlines may do so in response to active recruitment methods, such as physician referral or direct mail or phone calls, or passive methods, such as posters or television ads. Whether quitlines are equally effective for actively recruited smokers and passively recruited smokers has been a key question. In this study, Flora ...

Dr Troccoli said ...

At age 14, substance use disorders and psychiatric co-morbidity were assessed with the Semi-Structured Assessment for the ...
