Thanks for the fast answer. The Apple part seems clear. In the Nike
article it isn't stated unambigously that the store is owned and
operated by Nike itself. I thought they might license out the
operations to another company. Like many companies do with their
manufacturing.

Ok....understood...only the current month's quesions listed in the
"view all" section. Interesting to note that GA started back in 2002
too; I honestly believed it was more recent than that.

Anyhow, you're all worth five stars; not simply for the
answers/information you supply but also the way the information is
presented in a clear and concise written English that Anglophones and
foreigners alike can understand.

Good research by you researcher!!!!!!!
Google’s research shows Dentist have colluded with all states, except
Colorado, and prevented hygienist from working alone, and experience
in 19 states, (which allow hygienist independent practice in schools
and public treatment centers) has empirically proved that the
hygienist perform well, working independently. If the legislators
don’t understand this and keep our medical costs high by eliminating
competition, the people will create law, in their referendums, that
allows hygienist independent practice. Or, other countries and U.S.
business people, a mentioned in medicalcountries.com, will be
motivated to have hospital ships, off our borders, that escape our
despotic legislators and treat our citizens at reasonable costs.

In the 1980s states moved to reduce capacity at dental schools and
some schools closed. Thus the competition that keeps prices low was
eliminated. As a result, the ratio of dentists to population has
dropped. In the following 20 years, given the age of dentists then in
practice and estimates on when they would retire, more dentists would
leave the profession (85,000) than would enter it (81,000). High
demand for care and decreasing numbers of dentists relative to the
population have meant that dentists' practices are full without their
participation in public programs and as the dentists have
legislatively eliminated their competition, they are free to charge
over $1000.00 per hour, in some case, for their work. My root canal by
the pleasant, efficient, U.S. dentist took 25 minutes at a charge of
$670.00. His hourly wage rate calculates to be $1620.00. This means
that the minimum wage worker must work 259 hours for one hour of work
by this dentist and the college professor must work 46 hours for one
of the dentists, even though the professor has had more education than
the dentist. This same root canal costs $48.00 India. Would a
compassionate person not think about the effect of their behavior,
their greed?

      American Dental Hygienist Association (ADHA) strongly supports
expanding the use of independent dental hygienists. The
      benefit of expanding hygienists' role is that they can provide
high-quality preventive services at lower cost. Poor children are
      more than twice as likely as their more affluent peers to have
dental caries, and their disease is more likely to go untreated
      "Presently, Colorado is the only state that has independent
practice. There are no restrictive guidelines or other qualifications
      for independent practice in the state of Colorado. The only
requirement is state licensure for dental hygiene. However, there are
      States that permit hygienists to perform without supervision, in
institution such as, nursing homes, community centers, and
      other undeserved institutions where there is a need for oral health care.

      Gail Gilman, RDH, a California Health Manpower Pilot Project
(Independent Practice participant for 9 years), says: “ It angers
      me to see these ads (by the dental profession) that insinuate
hygienist aren’t qualified to treat the public unsupervised. It is
      already legal to work unsupervised in nursing homes, schools,
hospital, home health agencies and public health clinics. It
       makes no sense that hygienists can work on sick people, old
people, migrant workers, school children and American Indians,
       but not on the general public. Where’s the logic here?” 

       The goal of ADHA and its state constituents is to increase the
public’s access to the preventive and therapeutic services provided by
dental hygienists. Colorado Department of Regulatory Affairs in July
1985 stated that not only is the unsupervised practice of dental
hygienists safe for consumers, but it also provides the public with
the option to visit with a dental hygienist    exclusively for
preventive oral care and recognizes that dental hygienists are
educated to refer patients to a qualified dentist, as needed.
Additionally, the report reinforces that unsupervised practice should
be all-inclusive in all settings, (not just in nursing homes, schools,
hospital, home health agencies and public health clinics and school).
As otherwise this would violate the equal protection clause in both
the U.S. and Colorado constitutions stating that similarly situated
people must be treated equally. But when are the hygienist, and the
public going to get a backbone and stand up to the legislators and
dentists in a referendum and correct this injustice?

Great answers for an extremely tough question. I couldn't have asked
for much more than what political guru gave me.

Excellent answer. Shockingly prompt. I'll definitely be using this
service again. By the way, I wasn't expelled, just curious. :P I would
 tip you if I wasn't a poor university student.

brilliant answer. thank you.

My question had two optional answers, and politicalguru came up with
one of them. To his credit, he wasn't pushy or impatient, and when I
asked for some more time to see if I can get an answer on the other
part of the question, he waited for me.
