Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Executive Officers of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company, on the Subject of Retrenchment During the interval, the directors appointed by the city held one or more meetings. They did not, however, confer with the president or other executive officers of the company, and there fore, received no explanation from either, of the amount of the company's expenditures, or of the real demands of the service. The directors, it is presumed, may have ascertained from the records of the office, the number of individuals employed in the various departments and the amount of compensation allowed them under the authority of the board.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Raod Company: In Obedience to an Order of 28th January, 1843 To the President and Directors of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company: - The committee chosen at the last meeting of the board, in consequence of an order passed by the House of Delegates of Maryland, on the twenty-eighth day of January last, present the following report: The order of the House of Delegates is in the following words: "Ordered, That the Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road Company be requested to inform this House, how long Louis McLane, Esq. has been President of that corporation, and what amount of compensation he has received for salary, extra allowance, or in any other manner, so as to shew the aggregate sum received by the said Louis McLane, Esq. from said company, and the space of time in which he performed the services, for which such compensation was paid; and whether the amount of officers' salaries have been increased or diminished since the present President of the Company came into office, and to what extent, and whether the number of officers have been increased or diminished, and to what extent." The resolution under which your committee has acted, clearly defines their duties, and is as follows: - "Resolved, That the order of the House of Delegates, passed the 28th January 1843, and now communicated to the board, be referred to a committee of three directors, to be chosen by ballot; and that they be instructed to inquire into what extent the several communications heretofore made from the Executive officers of the company, in obedience to previous orders of the Senate or House of Delegates, contain the information called for by the present order, and to report to the board a statement comprising a suitable answer thereto." Your committee have examined the minutes of the board heretofore, and it appears to them thereform, that the information now sought by the above order, has on three several occasions before this, been transmitted to the House of Delegates, in pursuance of orders from that body; first, in answer to an order passed on the twentieth day of January 1840, again on the twenty-third day of February in the year 1842, in reply to an order of 19th February in the same year, and lastly on the twenty-fourth day of January last, and during the present session, when the order of the House of Delegates passed on the sixteenth day of that month was fully answered in detail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shifting faculty roles in a changing landscape Ernest L. Boyer's landmark book Scholarship Reconsidered: Priorities of the Professoriate challenged the publish-or-perish status quo that dominated the academic landscape for generations. His powerful and enduring argument for a new approach to faculty roles and rewards continues to play a significant part of the national conversation on scholarship in the academy. Though steeped in tradition, the role of faculty in the academic world has shifted significantly in recent decades. The rise of the non-tenure-track class of professors is well documented. If the historic rule of promotion and tenure is waning, what role can scholarship play in a fragmented, unbundled academy? Boyer offers a still much-needed approach. He calls for a broadened view of scholarship, audaciously refocusing its gaze from the tenure file and to a wider community. This expanded edition offers, in addition to the original text, a critical introduction that explores the impact of Boyer's views, a call to action for applying Boyer's message to the changing nature of faculty work, and a discussion guide to help readers start a new conversation about how Scholarship Reconsidered applies today.

Download or read book Urban Stormwater Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-03-17 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.

Download or read book To Err Is Human written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experts estimate that as many as 98,000 people die in any given year from medical errors that occur in hospitals. That's more than die from motor vehicle accidents, breast cancer, or AIDSâ€"three causes that receive far more public attention. Indeed, more people die annually from medication errors than from workplace injuries. Add the financial cost to the human tragedy, and medical error easily rises to the top ranks of urgent, widespread public problems. To Err Is Human breaks the silence that has surrounded medical errors and their consequenceâ€"but not by pointing fingers at caring health care professionals who make honest mistakes. After all, to err is human. Instead, this book sets forth a national agendaâ€"with state and local implicationsâ€"for reducing medical errors and improving patient safety through the design of a safer health system. This volume reveals the often startling statistics of medical error and the disparity between the incidence of error and public perception of it, given many patients' expectations that the medical profession always performs perfectly. A careful examination is made of how the surrounding forces of legislation, regulation, and market activity influence the quality of care provided by health care organizations and then looks at their handling of medical mistakes. Using a detailed case study, the book reviews the current understanding of why these mistakes happen. A key theme is that legitimate liability concerns discourage reporting of errorsâ€"which begs the question, "How can we learn from our mistakes?" Balancing regulatory versus market-based initiatives and public versus private efforts, the Institute of Medicine presents wide-ranging recommendations for improving patient safety, in the areas of leadership, improved data collection and analysis, and development of effective systems at the level of direct patient care. To Err Is Human asserts that the problem is not bad people in health careâ€"it is that good people are working in bad systems that need to be made safer. Comprehensive and straightforward, this book offers a clear prescription for raising the level of patient safety in American health care. It also explains how patients themselves can influence the quality of care that they receive once they check into the hospital. This book will be vitally important to federal, state, and local health policy makers and regulators, health professional licensing officials, hospital administrators, medical educators and students, health caregivers, health journalists, patient advocatesâ€"as well as patients themselves. First in a series of publications from the Quality of Health Care in America, a project initiated by the Institute of Medicine
