THIS STUDY EXAMINES THE RAPID GROWTH OF HOSPITAL WAGE RATES AND EMPLOYMENT LEVELS OVER THE PAST DECADE, WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO THE PERIOD 1971-73. THE ANALYSIS SUGGESTS THE CURRENT HEW PROPOSAL FOR HOSPITAL COST CONTAINMENT WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASE THE RATE OF GROWTH OF HOSPITAL WAGES AND EMPLOYMENT.

This study investigated the methods and policies associated with 4-H project judging at the county level within the Kansas 4-H Program. Extension Agents surveyed about current 4-H judging processes indicated a variety of methods used. Data collected showed that 21.8% of the counties surveyed practiced some type of project judging without the 4-H member present. In regard to feedback received by the youth in non-livestock project judging, 64.1% of counties reported both verbal and written forms of feedback, with 25.6% receiving only verbal. In livestock project judging, 93.8% reported that youth receive feedback only verbally. The majority of non-livestock projects are judged using the Danish system, while the number of livestock projects judged are split among both the Danish system and peer system of competitive judging. It was concluded that a wide-variety of judging methods are used, resulting in incongruent programs offered to 4-H members.

Illinois still adheres to a rigid and outdated common law principle that treats a learned treatise as hearsay. This principle stands at odds with the adoption of Federal Rules of Evidence 703 ("FRE 703")' and 705 ("FRE 705") by the Illinois Supreme Court. Illinois courts have developed clever ways to get around the common law prohibition thereby creating an incoherent and inconsistent jurisprudence that at times yields bizarre outcomes. Adopting the federal learned treatise exception to the hearsay rule would set out a consistent standard in Illinois for admitting learned treatises and allowing them as substantive evidence. Now that Illinois has codified the Illinois Rules of Evidence, including provisions similar to FRE 703 and 705, it is time to adopt the learned treatise exception to the hearsay rule, Federal Rule of Evidence 803(18) ("FRE 803(18)"). This will complete the incorporation cycle. More importantly, it will enhance the efficiency of trials in Illinois courts. Failure to adopt an Illinois equivalent of FRE 803(18) will impede the full and proper application of Illinois Rule of Evidence 703 ("IRE 703") and 705 ("IRE 705"). This Article will lay out the current standards in Illinois regarding the use of learned treatises. It will focus on the inconsistencies in the application of the current Illinois common law and then address how adoption of a learned treatise exception to hearsay will increase efficiency among trial courts.

Amy Taylor, Rachel Swann and Fiona Warren report on a study that aimed to explore foster carers' beliefs about the causes of foster children's emotional and behavioural difficulties (EBD), with a view to creating a theory to explain how this particular group of people make sense of these problems. Fourteen foster carers, with either past or present experience of caring for foster children with EBD, volunteered to take part in an interview to discuss their views. The interviews were transcribed and the data analysed using Grounded Theory methodology (Glaser and Strauss, 1967). Nine major causal categories emerged from the data and a theoretical model was constructed to help explicate these categories and the links between them. The results demonstrated that foster carers believed that much of foster children's difficulties were caused by early experiences of adversity (eg abuse) or inadequate care (eg neglect) prior to being fostered. However, there seemed to be a sense that these difficulties could be exacerbated by subsequent experiences within the care system itself. The clinical implications of these findings and future research directions are discussed.

As employers have turned to managed care to curtail the rising cost of health care benefits, the number of HMO enrollees has proliferated. Between 1984 and 1994, HMO enrollment incrased from approximately 15 million to over 49 million individuals. Although research has indicated that HMOs have been effective in limiting medical costs, there is mixed evidence in the literature on how they achieve these savings. This article uses data from the 1987 National Medical Expenditure Survey to examine one hypothesis for these patterns: that HMOs enroll a healthier population than fee-for-service plans. To test this hypothesis we examine HMO andjee-for-evice enrollees with respect to sxioeconomic variables such as age, race, sex, income, education, health status, and location. Our results indicate that HMOs tend to enroll a younger but not much healthier population than traditional fee-for-service plans, suggesting that self-selection is not a major contriutor to HMO cost savings.
