The difference does not exist."1 Yet his GM is accused of undermining the American transportation infrastructure and destroying a viable, superior streetcar network in order to sell more cars.

According to the American Association of University Women Report, "The clear message to both boys and girls is that girls are not worthy of respect and that appropriate behavior for boys includes exerting power over girls -- or over other, weaker boys" (Bailey, 173).

Transcription can be a costly, timely process; so much so that a great deal of this work is outsourced outside of the hospital to be processed. Of the work that is outsourced, an estimated 10%-20% of that is sent offshore according to the American Association for Medical Transcription[3].
