How do you feel about this issue? Why? Defend your position using concrete examples.
Questions for the essay:The Internet has become the greatest library ever. With the good comes the bad, however. In particular, some concerned citizens are worried that children can too easily access websites containing inappropriate material such as pornography or racial propaganda. Several solutions to this perceived problem have emerged. One is indirect censorship through federal or state laws that criminalize the transmission of pornographic material online. Another possibility is federal or state laws requiring the use of so-called filtering programs when children are involved. In either case, the battle lines are drawn. Civil libertarian groups and other free speech advocates want no censorship. Concerned parent groups think differently. How do you feel about this issue? Why? Defend your position using concrete examples.Possible Site Trips:The Council of State Governments is a good source for information on state responses to federalism issues at http://www.csg.org/index.aspx
How many surgeons who performed 200 or more procedures during the time-period in Question had five or fewer deaths within 30 days of surgery?
The purpose of this assignment is to provide students with an opportunity to analyze data that was collected by the New York State Department of Health for all Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) procedures that occurred during 2011 thru 2013. To complete this assignment, do the following: Read the article that is on Canvas as Adult Cardiac Surgery in New York State 2011-2013. Pay particular attention to Table 6 (Page 25) of this article where the data for each surgeon is presented. After you have completed reading the article mentioned above, open up the Excel file that is on Canvas called Analyzing Cardiac Surgery Data. This is essentially the date that you see in the article. I have removed all surgeons who did less than 10 procedures at any hospital. I have also removed the category of surgeons called All Others which you see in Table 6 of the article referenced above. Based on the data that is presented in Analyzing Cardiac Surgery Data, please answer the following questions:1) How many surgeons who performed 200 or more procedures during the time-period in Question had five or fewer deaths within 30 days of surgery? 2) Please create a Pivot Table, which summarizes the data, using the Hospital Name as the Row Label, the Region as the Column Label and the Sum of Cases as the Value. Which Region, Upstate or Downstate, performed more Open Heart Procedures? 3) Please create a Pivot Table, which summarizes the data using the Surgeon Name as the Row Label, the Hospital Name as the second Row Label and the Sum of Cases as the Value. You do not need to provide a Column Label. How many surgeons performed Open Heart Procedures in more than one hospital?Analyzing Open Heart Risk Stratification Data (Continued) 4) Does the definition of the Risk Adjusted Mortality Rate (RARM), that is discussed on page 4 of the reading assignment make intuitive sense to you as an observer of this data? 5) Does the use of a 30-day window for calculating the Risk Adjusted Mortality Rate seem to you to be a useful metric for rating surgeons and/or hospitals? 6) Based on the data presented here, which surgeon and hospital would you advise your 65 year old family member, who had a number of different pre-operative risk factors (see page 13 for discussion of the calculation of a risk-adjusted mortality rate) to perform the isolated CABG procedure?
Post an explanation of how you would analyze data for this type of project.
Assume that you are a consultant engaged in a project to implement a major high-speed overpass extension to the most congested highway, linking rural provinces to a major Asian city of 12 million people. A major feature of this project is to implement an electronic toll collection system for this high-speed segment. The objective of the entire project was not just to relieve congestion, lower the cost of operating vehicles, and improve the quality of transport services. It was also initiated to help address the loss of revenue resulting from an antiquated and corruption-ridden system of manual toll collection.You helped implement the toll collection system and returned three years later to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. Data on toll collections and traffic volumes are available on a day-to-day basis. For this Discussion, review this weeks Learning Resources and examine the effectiveness of the project.Post an explanation of how you would analyze data for this type of project. Include in your explanation the type of design and analysis you might use to address the problem.Langbein, L. (2012). Public program evaluation: A statistical guide (2nd ed.).

Is it fair that they had to pay, while current loan holders would get part of their loan forgiven?
As the amount of student loan debt has increased, some activists and politicians have called upon the federal government, which holds the loans, to forgive some of the debt. They argue that the debt burden is inhibiting not only the advancement of former students but of society as a whole. Rather than using excess income to buy homes or otherwise boost the economy, former students must use it to pay off their college loans. Opponents of forgiving some of the debt say that the former students are getting the income benefit that comes with a college education and that it would be unfair to taxpayers, many of whom dont have a college degree, to pick up the costs of unpaid loans. They also note that millions of former students have already paid off their college loans.
