the dartmouth study showed that patients in places like miami were receiving more care. more drugs, more time in the hospital, more invasive operations than patients in other parts of the country even though the patients in miami weren't any sicker than their neighbors. but so what, right? we want more specialists. we want more procedures. we want more tests. or at least we think we do. and that's the problem. because what we think is best for us often isn't. what the dartmouth group discovered is that the patients in the most costly regions where medicare spent more money on patients, those patients did not have better health outcomes, and, in fact, they were more likely to die. >> if you look at health care in america, you're twice as likely to get your knee replaced as you are in western countries with the same standard of living. you're two or three times as likely to get a heart catheterization or have a stent in your coronaries. we've set up a system that often pushes physicians and hospitals in the entire health care system into doing more. driven by these pervers

the booth school in chicago ranks 6th, followed by haas in berkeley, columbia university, dartmouth college tuck and stern at new york university. a new study suggests gender may affect the ability to get a home loan. the woodstock institute tracked the home application process in the chicagoland area and found that loan and refinancing applications were more likely to be approved if a man was listed first on the application. when women were listed as the primary borrower, they were 39% less likely to receive approval. apple may be running into tablet trouble. research firm idc reveals consumers are getting hip to tablets running on google's android platform. idc tells reuters shipments of ipads will fall to 46% of the market this year, while android devices will jump to 49% this year as google's nexus 7 tablet and amazon's kindle make inroads against the ipad and mini ipad. twinkies may be back on shelves by this summer. hostess filed a document in u.s. bankruptcy court that made it clear no other offers topped the initial $410-million bid from investment firms metropoulos and apollo globa

when a team from dartmouth medical school mapped medicare payments, it found differences from one part another. for example, in 2007, the average medicare recipient in miami tallied more than $15,000 in health care bills, whereas a recipient in minneapolis only cost the government about half that amount. and it wasn't because procedures were more expensive in miami than in minneapolis, the dartmouth study showed the patients in places like miami were receiving more care. more tests, more drugs, more time in the hospital, more invasive operations than patients in other parts of the country even though the patients in miami weren't any sicker than their neighbors. but so what, right? we want more specialists. we want more procedures. we want more tests. or at least we think we do. and that's the problem. because what we think is best for us often isn't. what the dartmouth group discovered is that the patients in the most costly regions where medicare spent more money on patients, those patients did not have better health outcomes, and, in fact, they were more likely to die. >> if you loo

of algebra, and so we're lucky to have with us today rosa orellana, professor of mathematics at dartmouth college, who uses algebra all over in her work. so, rosa, thanks for coming today. >> thank you for having me, dan. >> well, we've been seeing a lot of beautiful geometric objects and trying to make sense of them algebraically, but let's sort of make it a little bit more rigorous with some good examples, shall we? >> we should start with, like, a rectangle and try to explain the ideas, because it's easy to see it there. so actually, let's have a square. >> okay, squares are good because squares are highly symmetric. >> so now the idea, dan, is that we would want to have a motion in space that brings us back to the exact configuration that we have. >> okay. >> so, for instance, here is the square. you close your eyes and i do something to it, and you open it and you tell me if i did anything. >> okay. >> i can rotate it by 90 degrees, and this brings me actually back to the same configuration. >> that's right, that's right. occupies the same space and looks as if i haven't moved space

"the butter battle" book was published in 1984, the orwellian here, which also marked theodor geisel's 80th birthday. this was significant through his previous work spoke america and a statically. but grammatically the butter battle book joins the lorax as his strong social commentary and strongest work. the lorax was the capitalism and the

[applause] >> thank you. good morning, everyone. we have been at kaiser family foundation analyzing and tracking the affordable care act for many different perspectives and hiv has been a core part of what we do. so to begin i just want to start off with this, because this was president obama on world aids day in 2011 getting a pretty historic speech about the possibility of ending the aids epidemic at some point in our lifetime. and for those of us have been working in hiv for very long time this was quite a moment and it's a moment of opportunity and optimism that i want to start with. the reason president obama made that statement and those of us working in the field are hopeful is that we have a combination now of new scientific advances with existing interventions that together is scaled up could begin to turn the tide on the epidemic. we also have a national hiv strategy for the first time that the white house released a c

one study out of dartmouth showed that if they simply used in the rest of the hospitals across the country the cost-effective ways of the mayo clinic, you could save $50 billion, over $50 billion in five years with chronically ill patients. that just gives you a sense of what we're talking about when we talk about high-quality, low-cost care. our budget recognizes there is a tremendous amount of smeng through the tax code to the tune of $1 trillion a year in tax spendsures. i come from a state with a thriving renewable energy sector and two years ago we agreed to let the tax credit expire. that was $60 billion in ten years, mr. president, $60 billion. i don't understand why the oil industry can't follow ethanol's lead. i'm prowpped of the work they're doing. -- prowpped of the work they're doing. i've seen the drilling in north dakota. it's increased our domestic oil production and decrease our dependency on foreign oil but i don't need the oil companies need $40 billion. that's a lot of money to reduce the debt. we can make other commonsense changes. one i would propose is with the home m
