          <div class="html-content">Now that everyone has had some time to reflect on the <span><strong>"Republican Revolution"</strong></span> that took place last week, I thought it was time for another blog.  I know some of you were worried there might not be anything to write about since the elections are over, but that certainly isn't the case.  Today's topic: Compromise, or a lack there of<br><br>A <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/144359/Democrats-Republicans-Differ-Views-Compromise.aspx" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Gallup poll</a> conducted late last week found Republicans to be generally less willing to compromise than Democrats and Independents.  According to the poll, 23 percent of Republicans believe it is more important to stick to your beliefs than find an agreeable solution to move America forward.  In contrast, only 10 percent of Democrats and 12 percent of Independents feel the same, with the majority favoring compromise.<br><div><a href="http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/2qu8yjv57ea2bx2as40vwq.gif" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><img src="http://sas-origin.onstreammedia.com/origin/gallupinc/GallupSpaces/Production/Cms/POLL/2qu8yjv57ea2bx2as40vwq.gif" style="max-width: 100%; height: auto;"></a></div>
          <div>In researching this phenomenon I didn't have to look far to find a real-life example of Republicans' unwillingness to compromise.  As a matter of fact, soon-to-be House speaker, John Boehner promised <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-pn-boehner-taxes-20101111,0,7248137.story" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">not to compromise</a> just yesterday.  The accuracy of this survey is astounding!</div>
          <div><br></div>
          <div>The "Party of No" has given us enough examples of the dilemma created by a lack of compromise, we can only hope it doesn't continue now that they've gotten more of a voice.  With this said, I'm asking, are you ready to compromise?  Me and 39 percent of my party are.</div>

    <Title>Eight UMBC Graduates Make Baltimore List of Top Doctors</Title>
    <Body>
      <![CDATA[
          <div class="html-content"><div>
          <p>To come up with this year’s list of the city’s top doctors, <em>Baltimore</em> magazine asked 5,500 physicians who they would choose to send their family members to see in each of 86 specialties.</p>
          <p>The final list includes eight UMBC graduates — several of whom have made the list before — who were recognized by their peers for the quality of care they provide.</p>
          <p>Biological sciences majors who made the list include Fouad Abbas ’82 (gynecologic oncology), Mary “Tessie” Behrens ’80 (nephrology), Robert Donegan ’87 (hematology/oncology) and Stephen George ’80 (pediatric rheumatology).</p>
          <p>Michael Lantz ’85, biochemistry and molecular biology, was recognized in the category of obstetrics/fetal medicine.</p>
          <p>Psychology majors Lauren Schnaper ’71 (breast surgery), Michael Shear ’78 (physical medicine/rehabilitation) and Francisco Ward ’87 (physical medicine/rehabilitation) were also honored.</p>
