Should these be the responsibility of governmental, professional, or voluntary organizations?

June 72010

the U.S. has no structure in place to resolve such issues. Who should be responsible for protecting the public from unethical, ineffective, or unduly hazardous procedures and how should it be done? Should these be the responsibility of governmental, professional, or voluntary organizations? Can effective oversight activities be accomplished without destroying confidence in the health professions and institutions?

Are you talking about health care people doing hazardous, unethical things? You really need to be more specific.

But the US, well the states have laws regarding the behavior of medical professionals and if they are doing unethical and hazardous procedures, report them to the state licensing agency. There is already oversight in place. In addition to the state licensing agencies, hospitals have their own ethics and research committees.

Larsen Music Monday

May 82010

Our Song’ by Dala

Dala’s beautiful song called, ‘Our Song’, will unite the country once again in Music Monday this year 2008.

Music Monday is a very special demonstration of our love of music – in our lives and in our schools. On the first Monday of May each year, students and teachers take their music programs outside into the open air of their school grounds or into their communities, to perform a short concert. There are outdoor concerts right across the country from the elementary level right through to secondary schools – some small celebrations, some large. Some will perform on their own; others will collaborate with local schools and organizations. Many community and professional organizations and ensembles are also involved, along with musicians and artists across the country.
Now approaching our fourth year, each year the event grows larger as Music Monday is celebrated in schools and communities throughout Canada. In 2007, more than 1500 schools and organizations participated representing more than 650,000 students, teachers, parents and music lovers everywhere. Music Monday drew 17.5 million measured media impressions and drew upwards of 25,000 visitors to our website each month as we counted down the days.
