My Dad (2/5/09)

Today is Thursday(2/5) and here is a brief recap of the last two days.

Melissa and I drove back to NJ on Tuesday evening/night. We arrived to about 6 inches of snow, thus school was canceled for Wednesday. This was a blessing to us because it allowed us to get a lot of things caught up. We finished our school work, including report cards.

There is not much news to report on my dad from Wednesday. He was pretty stable, but he was battling infection and pneumonia was confirmed.

I left NJ at 6:45 Thursday morning to drive out to Ohio. I drove straight to the hospital and arrived at 2:30. During the drive I found out that they began to wean my dad off of the sedation meds in the morning. By noon there were no longer giving him sedation meds. We then began the wait of his body processing the meds out. We were told it can take 24 to 72 hours.

When I arrived I immediately noticed my dad was very swollen/bloated. His Canney Hand's were gone, replaced by pudgy pokers that are very uncharacteristic of us Canneys. His belly is very bloated too and he continues to battle a fever (103 when I left at 10:30pm). We were able to watch his brain waves steadily increase throughout the day. Also he regained his gag reflex and moved his fingers a little when pinched. I am interested to see his progress when I go in Friday morning.

On another note, the Canney family is very spread out...we live all over and rarely get to see each other. So it was nice to see and spend time with my family as we all rally around my dad. My brothers James and Rick, along with my sister Jamie have all been at the hospital a lot. My uncle Johnny drove up from Florida and the 85 year old matriarch, Nanny (my grandmother Canney) has spent a lot of time at the hospital. My stepmom Missy has been spending 12 to 14 hours a day at the hospital. This is tough because she has two high school aged kids at home.

Conclusion:We can conclude that the Says law is the major difference between the Keynes theory and the classical economists, the classical economist support the Says law and also advocate for a free market economy while Keynes argues that the government can solve the problem of unemployment in an economy through an increase in spending to increase the aggregate demand that results to lower unemployment levels Reflecting on Cutler's college career, former Denver Broncos safety John Lynch said, If this guy can take a bunch of future doctors and lawyers and have them competing against the Florida Gators , this guy is a stud Michael VickThis is a closely spaced, a clear division of work and the concept of top 10 , and highly valued in the quarterback role is special, it is necessary to become a team brain, and fought a coach Yet, there is a lot of difference So to catch hold of the best of provider of sports entertainment the game freaks tear their hairs and run from one end to another with hopes high

Возник у меня вопрос:



Процессор Pentium с какой частотой соответствует процессору Celeron 2,93 ГГц ?



И вообще, где в Рунете можно найти таблицу производительности процессоров ? Поисковики ищут всякий бред...
