Positive Experience
Difficult Interview
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 7+ weeks - interviewed at Amazon.com in June 2011.
Interview Details HR rep pulled my resume from an online job board (oddly enough I only had my resume up for 2 days). I had applied to amazon directly before, so I guess their internal job system is not very good. A week later I had the first phone screen. I had to write some Java code on paper (without any references) over the phone and then read it to the guy. We also talked about IMDB and he asked me what feature I might like to add to IMDB.com and went through some object oriented design on that feature as well. About 3 business days later the recruiter set up another phone interview. That interview asked me some more questions, a little general problem solving questions but more about me asking questions about imdb.com. Afterwards there was a coding assignment via e-mail. The time limit was 2 hours and I did not finish the assignment on time. I sent both what I had after 2 hours as well as the finished product and how long it took me (an extra half hour). Overall I was not expecting to hear from them again. 2.5 weeks later they said they wanted to do an on-site interview in Seattle, WA. I suspect I came into the process pretty weak though for not finishing on time.
Amazon put me up in a nice hotel, paid for all the expenses. Their campus was very nice, they had just moved in about a year ago but even with that little bit of disorganization everything was great. Around 9 AM the HR rep got me (a different rep from the phone) and she gave me an overview of the day as well as answered some questions. She also tried to ask about salary, but I really did not know. Then I had several technical interviews followed by lunch with a potential boss followed by one or two more technical interviews. I believe that I had 5 technical interviews in all. Each one consisted of writing java code on the white board. In any case after the white board experience all I can say is that I even appreciate notepad for writing code..... My day job is not programming Java, so while the core language is fine for me, a lot of the API's I do not have memorized and need to refer to the API docs. Occasionally I program in C# which also adds to library confusion. But anyway there were all sorts of problems. I think I solved all of them, although were there syntax errors or small bugs? Probably. Usually at the end of the interview the interviewers would take digital pictures of the white board. I think someone who codes Java all day has a distinct advantage. There were also some sketch the solution problems. Or asking if you could solve things better…or what if you wanted to solve the problem for a billion numbers…Mostly it was coding on the white board though.
The last interview I kept making silly errors and then the interviewer would find an error that I would work through, then he would find another one that I would work through. The total process was only 9-2 with a 45 minute lunch break but with all the stress and constant white board coding I was pretty tired by the end of the day......
They said they would let me know within a week and I got a brief call (which I missed) saying they decided not to move forward. I was not even expecting to get an interview after the second phone screen, so it was a pretty good to see Seattle and interview with one of the tech juggernauts.
I think the interviews went okay, but not GREAT. Often after solving/answering technical questions we would run right up against the time limit and the other interviewer would come in, so I did not get much time to ask questions except for lunch. Therefore, I did not have much time to sell myself. Overall the actual job they were interviewing for was not a good match for my skills at all, I was surprised that the HR rep pulled my resume for that job, so I could not really sell any ready made experience off my resume for that job anyway. I think I could have done the job, but it is not a no brainer did that in my previous job sort of thing.
Overall the interview process seemed okay. 2 months is a long time and many companies have a much shorter process (although a few have a longer one). I am being very selective and looking to do something different from my previous work, which means I get much less interviews than someone just searching for their next job e.g. a Java developer looking for his/her next gig. Overall they don't give any feedback about why they picked or did not pick you, which in my view sucks, but even getting a "no" is better than most companies do, so I cannot complain too much. But certainly if I ever was selected to interview again, I would not have the feedback from my mistakes this time to not commit the same mistakes next time.... Which may result in wasting their time/money again. Still it's hard to know if you sucked, or they just had some superstar candidates....

Coming Up Roses
Catherine Anderson - Author
- eBook - ePub eBook: $7.99
From New York Times bestselling author Catherine Anderson comes the emotionally gripping story of a woman who must overcome her painful past before she can accept a good man's love...
1890, Oregon. Recently widowed Kate Blakely is struggling to make ends meet on her small farm while trying to heal from the scars of her late husband's cruelty. When her handsome, brawny neighbor, Zachariah McGovern, almost dies while saving her four-year-old daughter from a near fatal accident, Kate is deeply wary of the man she brings into her home to nurse back to health.
Gradually Kate realizes that underneath Zach's rough exterior is a gentle, loving soul who is fiercely protective of her and her daughter. But as much as Zach longs for Kate's love, she knows she can't open her heart without revealing her darkest secret—a shocking truth that, if discovered, could destroy them both.
Chapter 1
Oregon, 1890
Compliments of an overcast sky, a shaft of anemic afternoon sunshine came through the window of the otherwise cheerless kitchen. Even on fair-weather days, the unpainted plank walls, floor, and ceiling made the room seem bleak.
Leaning sideways to avoid getting smoke in her eyes, Kate Blakely shoved another chunk of laurel into the fire and settled the range lid back into place. Strings of pitch ignited, sizzling and snapping inside the belly of the stove. The merry crackling had always brightened Kate's mood, and, despite everything, she still loved the sound.
As she walked back across the kitchen, Kate craned her neck to look out the window at the old willow in the yard. The tree's dense canopy of trailing branches swayed in the light breeze, an indication that it would probably be dark before the storm blew in. From the looks of the clouds hovering over the mountains, they would bring thunder and lightning, too, unless the wind picked up. A real sky ripper.
The thought made the back of Kate's throat prickle.
She forced the tension from her shoulders. There was nothing to do but put a bright face on it and pretend the darkening sky didn't worry her. Her little girl, Miranda, became agitated enough during thunderstorms without Kate adding spice to the stew.
Darned weather, anyway. Southwestern Oregon always got a lot of rain, but this year beat all. Here it was mid-June already.
She glanced at the lantern that hung from a ceiling beam above her. During the storm tonight, she would have to light the lamps to keep Miranda calm, and that would deplete their weekly ration of fuel. If she expected to save enough from her egg and milk money to make Miranda some school dresses and buy paint for the kitchen, she couldn't use a lamp every time the mood struck.
With a sigh, Kate picked up the dog-eared journal and carried it to the trickle of feeble sunlight over the sink. As she circled the slop bucket, used to collect food scraps for the hogs, the swirl of her black cotton twill skirt disturbed a fly. The insect, sluggish from the unseasonably chill weather, buzzed around her head and then swooped down to land on the open pages.
"Confound it."
She waved the fly away and leaned into the light but still couldn't tell how many tablespoons of rolled sugar the recipe called for. By all rights, she should know the recipe for her grandma's crullers by heart, but her husband had never allowed her to make them. Joseph claimed sweets were as addicting and bad for the moral character as alcohol, especially for females who were feebleminded and more easily led astray than men.
Since Joseph's death, the one luxury Kate spent money on was sugar. Other children had sweets several times a week, and Kate was determined Miranda's childhood, from here on out, was going to be as normal as she could make it. As far as Kate could tell, neither she nor Miranda had been led astray by their frequent consumption of sugar, or suffered any other ill effects. Unless, of course, one counted the weight each of them had gained. Kate didn't. Miranda needed meat on her bones, and her own figure was no longer of great importance. If her waist became too thick to be spanned by a man's hands, so be it. The only time a man would have call to grasp her waist would be to help her out of her wagon when she went to town, and not then if she could avoid it.
"Ma, you're squintin' again. If you don't stop, we'll need another milk cow to keep you stocked with wrinkle remedy."
"The devil take wrinkles. What worries me is that I must need spectacles." Kate held the journal out as far as her arm would reach. "If I don't stop reading by candlelight, I'll be blind as a mole before I'm thirty."
Just the thought of having to give up her nightly reading time made Kate feel anxious. For five endless years, her husband Joseph had never allowed her to open a book, save the Bible, and now that she could read whenever she wished, she couldn't get enough of it. Two-month-old newspapers. Outdated catalogs. Yellowed issues of Harper's Bazaar.
If her eyes failed, she'd have to give up those moments she set aside for herself every evening. She didn't know why, but over the last few months, she had come to need that solitary time even more than she needed sleep, which was saying something.
Selfish, selfish. What if she truly did need spectacles? She had more important uses for her eyes than reading. Sewing, for instance. She couldn't afford to dress Miranda in ready-made. She shifted her gaze to the crockery bowl on the icebox where she kept her meager savings. Nearly every penny in the bowl was targeted for other expenditures, and she had hoped to save those that weren't to buy prune trees to start a small orchard next year. Prunes were proving to be a very profitable crop in the Umpqua valley, and since they didn't require the back muscle that so many other crops did, Kate felt she could raise them.
If she had to buy spectacles, how much would they cost? Unless she missed her guess, they were frightfully expensive. It was yet another worry to add to her list. Feeling overwhelmed, Kate forced her mind back to the moment. Without a husband to provide the necessities, getting by had become enough of a struggle without thinking ahead to disasters that hadn't even happened yet. Besides, she had to think of Miranda. The child had seen long faces aplenty in her short lifetime.
Giving up on the recipe, she laid down the journal and narrowed an eye at her daughter, who sat atop a stack of books on a chair at the table. It took her a moment to recall what Miranda had been talking about. No small wonder. The child chattered like a squirrel gathering winter nuts. "Where did you hear that milk was a remedy for wrinkles?"
too short to see into the array of green baking canisters before her, Miranda was engaged in a touch-and taste exploration of the ingredients Kate had set out on the table. Having just sampled the sugar, the child licked her finger again, stuck it in the baking soda, tasted, and shuddered. Kate hadn't the heart to scold. Not long ago, Miranda wouldn't have dared do such a thing. The change in her was nothing short of a miracle.
Her small face still contorted with distaste, Miranda shuddered again before she answered Kate's question. "When we was in the general store, I heard Mrs. Raimer talkin'. She says Abigail snipes, the dairyman's wife, has the purdiest confection in town 'cause her man has so many cows."
"Complexion, not confection," Kate corrected. "And keep your fingers out of that saleratus. I don't mind you sneaking sugar, but the saleratus isn't to eat."
"Pa ate it."
"Only for indigestion." feeling a little apprehensive at the mention of Joseph because she was never quite sure how Miranda might handle the memories, Kate approached the table with a brisk step and added eight tablespoons of sugar to the ingredients in her bowl. "The recipe be hanged. The sweeter, the better, right?" flicking her daughter a teasing glance, she added, "and I'll remind you not to contradict your elders, young lady. You're only four years old, and I guess I know better than you if saleratus is good to eat."
Miranda swiped at a streak of flour on her cheek. "Do birthdays make people smarter?"
"So they say, which means I'm seventeen birthdays smarter than you, so mind what I say."
With a dubious glance at the baking soda tin, Mi

"The "Hello Intro" square cards by Petite Alma were exactly what I needed. We're not ready for a full-on branding so a little intro was all I was prepared to offer. The paper is stellar and the speed at which we received the product was incredible."
"I was always asked if I had any Business Cards on me, and unfortunately, I didn't until now. I went to Tinyprints.com and I had a selection of Business Cards to choose. I chose this card. It was simple, yet business type of a card. The cards had arrived early, after they were done, and they were packaged very well."
"I've just reordered these for the 4th or 5th time. They are so great-looking: chic, sharp, elegant and with just the right degree of moxie. I always receive compliments on them, and the paper quality is great. I also really liked being able to personalize the back (I added the fleur-de-lis). I will keep ordering these!"
"I really liked this product. I loved that I could customize it with a full photo on the back and the colors were beautiful. The paper quality is a great matte finish although the cards were slightly smaller than I had thought they were going to be. The people that I've given them too so far have been impressed that they are something different and unique that they haven't seen before."
"I was looking for something that was simple and beautiful at the same time. I came across this card and knew it was what I wanted. The detail with the color of the name along with the thin lines adds such a nice touch. I was not expecting such a good quality with the paper and was pleasantly surprised. I already have recommended this card along with the site to my friends. Thank you!"

"You put WHAT in here?" I barked incredulously, holding the large plastic cup with my gloved thumb and forefinger a good arm's length away from me.
"We were making a smoothie," Elle explained, unsure as to why I was so offended by this particular backyard "cooking" experiment. An empty shampoo bottle lay on the snow-packed patio, alongside an open container of sunscreen and –
"Is that my toothbrush?"
Elle nodded solemnly.
"We needed something to stir it with."
I peered again at the slushy concoction Elle and her best friend had just created in our backyard, while they had been left unattended for (obviously) too long. The evidence left scattered across the patio revealed that the two kindergarteners had emptied the bathroom shelves in their quest for special ingredients to add to their snow-smoothie. "But why is it brown?" I wondered, still suspicious of the contents of this creative masterpiece.
"It's a poop smoothie!" Elle trilled. "We are going to give it to Paddy!"
My jaw dropped. What ever happened to sugar and spice and everything nice? Elle, a moment ago so proud of this clever ruse, took one look at my face and ascertained that this game had gone too far.
(I will interject here that our friend Paddy is a giant-sized goofball and veritable kid magnet. I'm quite certain Paddy would heartily applaud the concept of a poop smoothie, so the fact that the girls made him one lessened the gag-factor and almost, almost made it funny that my school-aged child thought it clever to make a drink out of dog poop.)
But all excuses, explanations, and avoidances of reality aside, you know you've failed as a parent when your child is playing with poop.
I then proceeded to give Elle the lecture of her life, telling her that if I EVER, EVER found her doing anything like that again, boy would she be in Trouble, with a capital T.
(Craig then warned Paddy to be dubious of strange-smelling beverages crafted for him by sweet and innocent little girls.)
Fast-forward one week, and Elle and her friend are together again, this time at a casual restaurant while their fathers watch Sunday football.
"Emme, we found your orange juice!" Elle gushes, handing the small plastic cup she just brought from outside to her little sister.
My 3-year-old takes a big drink. And immediately starts to cry.
"It's spicy!" Emme whimpers, as Craig peels the lid off the cup and takes a swallow. He tastes something chemical, inedible, potentially toxic.
The fear and panic in her father's voice quickly brings Elle to the sharp realization that whatever just happened was really, really bad.
"ELODIE PROHASKA, WHAT DID YOU PUT IN HERE?" her father says again, and she can see he is trying his hardest not to yell at the top of his voice.
She might be in Trouble, with a capital T.
And so she responds: "Nothing."
For the next three hours, no amount of cajoling, pleading, or threatening would change her answer. "Nothing" remained her response, even when we explained that we really needed to know what was in that drink in case it could make Emme sick. "Nothing" remained her response, even when we explained that everyone makes bad decisions sometimes, and that there might be consequences to pay, but that the consequences of lying about a mistake are always worse than 'fessing up right away.
"I didn't put anything in Emme's drink!" Elle sobbed, tears streaming down her face, when we asked for the umpteenth time what caustic ingredients Emme could have ingested with her orange juice.
Craig and I were at an impasse, and at a complete loss as to where to go from here. Could she be telling the truth, after all? Are we terrible parents for not believing her? Or have we inadvertently raised a spectacularly accomplished liar?
She sat in her bedroom, eyes red and face puffy from crying, as we whispered these fears to one another in the hallway.
I had just one more tool in the toolbox, one that I remembered my mother using when I was an adolescent prone to omitting the truth to escape the consequences of my actions.
"Elle, Daddy talked to your friend's father, and he said you girls did put something in Emme's drink. Why don't you tell me now what it was," I said, at the time not acknowledging the irony that my efforts to get my kid to tell me the truth involved lying through my teeth.
"I had some hand sanitizer in my pocket," she finally broke down.
Although we were relieved to finally have an answer, and could toss away our fear that Emme's esophagus was going to suffer irreparable damage from some toxic cleaning agent found in an unlocked restaurant cabinet, we didn't actually feel that much better. We had eventually strangled the truth out of our 5-year-old, but at what expense? She was a mess, we were a mess, and ultimately, would our handling of this situation actually prevent her from lying again, or make her more inclined to?
Peggy Drexler, research psychologist and author, explains that while most parents' natural reaction to their children's lying was like ours – shock, followed by anger and disbelief – it's important to take a step back and assess the causes of a child's lie in the first place.
"Most lies kids – and, for that matter, adults – tell are self-serving, and told to avoid trouble or punishment, look better in the eyes of others, or get (or get away with) something," Drexler writes in a parenting blog for the Huffington Post.
Essentially, most kids lie not because they have some psychological disorder or have been subjected to sub-par parenting (Craig and I breathe a collective sigh of relief here), but because they are trying to change a situation, to reconstruct things the way they want them to be.
Clearly, Elle had no intention of poisoning her little sister. The threats I had made to her following the poop smoothie incident were likely ringing loudly through her ears when she found herself again under the microscope for concocting a tainted beverage. Had I been more explicit in my explanations as to why tricking someone into drinking something yucky wasn't appropriate, rather than simply throwing around ominous threats about being in Big Trouble, perhaps Elle would have felt less afraid to tell us the truth. Next time, we vowed, we will handle a potentially sticky situation more calmly, and with more trust and less threats, which will lead to our daughter to feel more comfortable in telling us the truth. Right?
Well, not so fast. After recounting the whole story to my mother, she smiled and shook her head knowingly. "That won't be the last time your kid's going to lie to you."
To my dismay, research backs up my mom's assertion. It's entirely normal for kids to experiment with lying, starting at an early age – sometimes as early as two – and escalating until 12, "the age of greatest deceit," according to studies conducted by Canadian researcher Kang Lee.
Fabulous. I guess that means I will be making many more fake "calls" to my daughters' friends' parents in the years to come, seeking forced admissions of the truth. But, too, for my own sanity and for my daughters', perhaps I should take a cue from French philosopher Voltaire, who asserts: "Love truth, but pardon error."

Hello, I am an IT professional and have recently purchased seven (7) DG41TY mainboards from NewEgg. These boards are the foundation for new computers used by teachers and a library computer lab.
Mainboard: Intel DG41TY
CPU: Intel E5200
RAM: Crucial 2GB Kit - CT2KIT12864AA800
HDD: Various but typically WD Blue 250GB or WD 80GB
Optical: Various
OS: Windows XP Professional SP3
The installed BIOS version on the mainboards is: TYG4110H.86A.0031.2009.0626.1405
The installed NIC diver version is: 5.712.1217.2008
Installation process of the machines was identical.
All were fresh OS installs on brand new hardware.
I used the provided Intel one-step driver install CD on all systems.
Frequent and random "Limited or no connectivity" error messages
Frequent inability to pull an IP address from a DHCP server
Frequent "media disconnected" or simlar disconnet error messages
Frequent connect and disconnet cycles (like a little kid flipping a light switch on and off real fast)
These connectivity issues have rendered the systems unusable.
I am currently trying solutions provided by Rajiv Doolub in this thread: http://communities.intel.com/message/67629#67629
Previous attempts to fix this issue include:
Warm reboot, this rarely works
Cold boot, this rarely works
Unplug power, set PSU to "off", wait several minutes, cold boot, this works for an intermittant period of time.
Disable "Allow computer to turn off this device..." under power management, this seemed to work but didn't
Disable "Green Ethnet" in advance driver properties, this seemed to work but didn't
I will continue to update this post until the issue is resolved.
Installed driver version 5.736.728.2009 using the file found here:
Driver install package gave options to Repair or Remove, I selected Remove
I then re-ran the install package and installed the drivers
System re-detected NIC, would not connect to network
I performed a restart, system would not pull an IP address from DHCP server
I completely unplugged the system, pulled the RTC batterry, waited 10+ minutes, then booted the system
The system is now currently functioning but, it has only been less than half an hour.
These systems have worked fine for up to three days without issue.
I will continue to update this issue.
I have now applied the new driver and removed power/RTC battery on all five systems. So far so good, I will continue to update this post.
All systems seem to be running fine after a week of testing. I will be deploying these systems today and will report any issues that arise.
Hello guys,
i have exactly the same problem but on DG41MJ. I purchased 12 pieces!!!
I am running on OpenSuse 10.3
Sometimes lan is working, sometimes not.
it drives me crazy. i tried few versions of driver but its not working...
Do you have some solution for linux too?
I dont want XP.
I have the exact same issue. The unplug then cold boot solution seems to work temporarily...but what a pain! I have 25 machines across 3 counties with this board! I will try your solution and keep my fingers crossed...
Glad I found your post, I was losing my mind!
I had the same problem on multiple systems the fix I found is update to the 0033 Bios. Then after the bios update is complete, make sure to go in to the bios and reset to optimal settings. It's working as of now. Will post again if it just goes out randomly again.
Bios Update: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/download.aspx?url=/18167/eng/TYG4110H.86A.0033.EB.EXE&DwnldId=18167&lang=eng
As of Nov. 14th, I have not had a recurrance of this issue. Please see my above posts for steps to resolve this issue.
Hi Passelin,
I saw your thread. I have a similar kind of problem. I tried installing a PCI modem in my new DG41TY motherboard with Windows XP SP 3. The driver got installed perfectly. But when I tried to use it, it showed me an error stating that there was a IRQ conflict with other components. I checked system information and found that the conflict was with the onboard NIC. I have tried to separate the IRQ for the PCI modem but I have been unsuccessful. There is no BIOS option for separating the IRQ manually. I tried enabling the COM port for assigning IRQ but it did not work.
You seem to have solved your problem. Can you help me solve mine.
Thanks in advance,
This might sound obvious, but have you tried installing the modem in a different PCI slot on your board? I have run into this issue with old NForce 2 boards due to IRQ sharing, and a quick slot swap always did the trick.
Hi Passelin,
As you said it is obvious that when a PCI card does not work in one slot, people usually try it in the other slot. But such peripherals are assigned an IRQ for communication with the processor. When this process gets done automatically then all problems begin as more than one type of component gets the same IRQ. In some older computers, we were able to change the IRQ manually at the BIOS setup. But I don't know why they haven't provided this option in the new motherboard.
In another thread I read that enabling the COM Port will show the option. I tried, but nothing changed.
Can you consult someone to get me some ideas. I am keeping in touch.
Also I would like you to allow me to post my querries in this thread. Since we both have the same motherboard it will help us both.
I will post the solutions whenever I find one. I am sure others too are facing the same problem.
Thanks anyway.
I'd also like to add that I had this issue on several DG31PR motherboards and have now as of today experienced it on 2 DG41RQ motherboards. I ended up throwing in 3COM PCI NIC's to get them up and running ASAP. I didn't see this thread at the time of repair but I did flash BIOS and what not though I did not pull out the CMOS battery or set optimal settings in BIOS. The main issue seems to be that the adapter just completely disappears out of device manager (both on the DG31 and DG41 boards) and it's virtually impossible to get it to show back up.
Hi Persiannight,
It seems the only way to use Internet connection with the new boards DG41TY / DG31PR is to enable and use the RJ 45 jack type LAN connector that comes with some broadband modems / routers.
But some of the users in the forum have reported that it is unstable, some periods of hyperactivity, other periods of dull or nil activity.
There can only be one reason that Intel is not following the backward compatibiliy route. Intel probably has plans to come up with a new microarchitecture design incorporating all the possible peripherals onto a single motherboard. No doubt that if it can come up with a Quad core and Extreme processors, then it is not far behind in incorporating all possible peripherals onto a single motherboard. Just look at some of the laptops available nowadays. You will know what I mean.
However PCI modems I have used are slow, delivering only a max. of 41 Kbps of speed. The broadbands start anywhere from 2 Mbps and go upto 64 Gbps even more.
The next series of motherboards from Intel would be interesting to watch. I suspect we will all have to throw our present series of Classic and Essential motherboards and adopt the new microarchitecture technology.
Share your views with me. I am in urgent need of Internet connection for domestic use and am running out of ideas to use Internet with the new DG14TY motherboard.
Hi Persiannight
There is an option in BIOS to enable/disable the onboard LAN. Check to see if this is enabled. Since this is an important onboard component it will certainly display when checking onboard components. Its unusual that the onboard lan does not show. I disabled this during PCI configuration and it did not show on Device Manager. Once enabled, it appeared on the list.
Please reply to me after checking
Hi all,
It seems DG41TY has lot of problems with the onboard NIC. It either fails or causes conflicts.
Is there a usb modem that can be attached to the DG41TY motherboard for use with a dial up connection?
I feel the USB connection might be a solution to PCI problems. At least if they have been assigned the resources properly. This I believe because USB devices came later and have been assigned a large quantity of resources lately. Can anyone give me a better opinion. Suggestions are always welcone.

In the US, there are three million people in jail punished for breaking the behavioral rules of society. That's about one percent of the population. We don't assume from these "bad apples" that the other 99 percent of citizens are potential miscreants and therefore should be punished too, just in case. Indeed, the assumption is that 99 percent of society will behave nicely all the time; unless you are a profit seeking corporation operating in our free enterprise system. Then you are inherently predisposed to behaving badly and must be subjected to punishment for your potential misdeeds. This is the apparent assumption of the Obama administration.
There are some 25 million corporations in the US; 6 million have employees. About 17,000 have 500 or more workers. Twenty eight hundred of these are traded on the NY stock exchange; 3200 on NASDAQ. All these corporations provide the jobs and create the wealth of America. And virtually all of them behave impeccably. But the few that do not are the ones that we hear about. They unfortunately provide ammunition to politicians wanting to attack Free Markets, the Bad and claim more power for Government, the Good.
There are 1300 health insurance companies in the US. According to Obama, they are all heartless, denying coverage in the name of profit. Let's reform the entire system.
There are almost 8000 financial institutions. According to Obama, those fat cat bankers must pay for wrecking the economy. Let's reform the entire industry.
Let's not forget the profiteering drug companies in need of price controls; the polluting utilities and industries that need "cap & trade"; the obesity causing food companies that need new regulations and taxes; the greedy doctors performing unnecessary procedures; those evil oil companies that do not care about the environment; and those millions of small businesses that create wealth not from effort, but through luck. Let's share that windfall wealth.
Here's an idea. There are 535 people in the US Congress. Another two million are employed in the executive branch of the federal government, including Obama. About one percent of them understand how the US economy works and the benefits of free enterprise. The other 99 percent are ignorant and care only about their pensions. Let's reform the Government.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- The majority and minority leaders of the Common Council said Thursday that the city should buy a new ladder truck for the fire department.
Thomas Hoffay, D-Ward 2, and Debbie Brown, R-Ward 9, stated their positions at a time when Fire Chief Mark Brown has been pushing the city to buy the truck for $800,000 to $1 million.
Former Fire Chief John Reinhardt made a similar plea in November.
The city's current ladder truck was put into service in 1998, and fire department officials say it breaks down frequently and has outlived its usefulness.
Hoffay said he saw the current truck used at a fire on Smith Avenue on Thursday and is convinced of the need to replace it.
"It is vital to the fire department," the council majority leader said. "We need it. If you want to be a city, you need a (properly working) ladder truck."
Brown, the minority leader, spoke similarly.
"The current ladder truck is coming to an end of its lifespan," she said. "The repairs are more frequent and costly. Being that it would take almost one-and-a-half years to take possession of a new truck, this becomes an issue we can no longer avoid."
"We will have to find a way to afford a ladder truck �purchase," she added. "We need to take a hard look at our options."

upcoming primary eclipse of ASAS182612
August 20, 2007
As described in Alert Notice 351, we are running an extended campaign on the newly discovered eclipsing cepheid. Doug Welch has reminded me that the primary eclipse is predicted to be around August 28 around 0130UT. However, the eclipses are many days long, and the binary light curve is continuously changing, so don't just observe on the 28th. To get good coverage of the primary eclipse, we suggest obtaining a CCD dataset once per hour (optimal, but less frequent is also ok) from August 23 until September 3 UT, so as to follow ingress and egress. If you can do multiple filter observation datasets, that would be even better. Submit your data as: 1821+12B ASAS182612 Arne --------------------------------------------------- SUBMIT OBSERVATIONS TO THE AAVSO Information on submitting observations to the AAVSO may be found at: http://www.aavso.org/observing/submit/ [4] SPECIAL NOTICE ARCHIVE AND SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION A Special Notice archive is available at the following URL: http://www.aavso.org/publications/specialnotice/ [5] Subscribing and Unsubscribing may be done at the following URL: http://www.aavso.org/publications/email/ [6]

Expert-reviewed information summary about the treatment of breast cancer during pregnancy.
The breast is made up of lobes and ducts. Each breast has 15 to 20 sections called lobes, which have many smaller sections called lobules. The lobes and lobules are connected by thin tubes called ducts. Anatomy of the female breast. The nipple and areola are shown on the outside of the breast. The lymph nodes, lobes, lobules, ducts, and other parts of the inside of the breast are also shown.
Each breast also contains blood vessels and lymph vessels. The lymph vessels carry an almost colorless fluid called lymph. The lymph vessels lead to small, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes that help the body fight infection and disease. Lymph nodes are found throughout the body. Clusters of lymph nodes are found near the breast in the axilla (under the arm), above the collarbone, and in the chest.
In women who are pregnant or who have just given birth, breast cancer occurs most often between the ages of 32 and 38. Breast cancer occurs about once in every 3,000 pregnancies.
Breast cancer may cause any of the following signs and symptoms. Check with your doctor if you have any of the following problems:
Other conditions that are not breast cancer may cause these same symptoms.
Women who are pregnant, nursing, or have just given birth usually have tender, swollen breasts. This can make small lumps difficult to detect and may lead to delays in diagnosing breast cancer. Because of these delays, cancers are often found at a later stage in these women.
To detect breast cancer, pregnant and nursing women should examine their breasts themselves. Women should also receive clinical breast examinations during their routine prenatal and postnatal examinations.
A doctor should be seen if changes in the breast are noticed. The following tests and procedures may be used:
Decisions about the best treatment are based on the results of these tests. The tests give information about:
Tests include the following:
The prognosis (chance of recovery) and treatment options depend on the following:
The process used to find out if the cancer has spread within the breast or to other parts of the body is called staging. The information gathered from the staging process determines the stage of the disease. It is important to know the stage in order to plan treatment.
Standard methods for giving imaging scans can be adjusted so that the fetus is exposed to less radiation. The following tests and procedures may be used in the staging process:
The three ways that cancer spreads in the body are:
When cancer cells break away from the primary (original) tumor and travel through the lymph or blood to other places in the body, another (secondary) tumor may form. This process is called metastasis. The secondary (metastatic) tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if breast cancer spreads to the bones, the cancer cells in the bones are actually breast cancer cells. The disease is metastatic breast cancer, not bone cancer.
This section describes the stages of breast cancer. The breast cancer stage is based on the results of testing that is done on the tumor and lymph nodes removed during surgery and other tests.
There are 3 types of breast carcinoma in situ:
In stage I, cancer has formed. Stage I is divided into stages IA and IB.
Stage II is divided into stages IIA and IIB.
In stage IIIA:
In stage IIIB, the tumor may be any size and cancer has spread to the chest wall and/or to the skin of the breast and caused swelling or an ulcer. Also, cancer may have spread to:
Cancer that has spread to the skin of the breast may also be inflammatory breast cancer. See the section on Inflammatory Breast Cancer for more information.
In stage IIIC, no tumor is found in the breast or the tumor may be any size. Cancer may have spread to the skin of the breast and caused swelling or an ulcer and/or has spread to the chest wall. Also, cancer has spread to:
Cancer that has spread to the skin of the breast may also be inflammatory breast cancer. See the section on Inflammatory Breast Cancer for more information.
For treatment, stage IIIC breast cancer is divided into operable and inoperable stage IIIC.
In stage IV, cancer has spread to other organs of the body, most often the bones, lungs, liver, or brain.
In inflammatory breast cancer, cancer has spread to the skin of the breast and the breast looks red and swollen and feels warm. The redness and warmth occur because the cancer cells block the lymph vessels in the skin. The skin of the breast may also show the dimpled appearance called peau dâorange (like the skin of an orange). There may not be any lumps in the breast that can be felt. Inflammatory breast cancer may be stage IIIB, stage IIIC, or stage IV.
Inflammatory breast cancer of the left breast showing peau dâorange and inverted nipple.
Inflammatory breast cancer of the left breast showing peau dâ??orange and inverted nipple.
Recurrent breast cancer is cancer that has recurred (come back) after it has been treated. The cancer may come back in the breast, in the chest wall, or in other parts of the body.
Different types of treatment are available for patients with breast cancer. Some treatments are standard (the currently used treatment), and some are being tested in clinical trials. A treatment clinical trial is a research study meant to help improve current treatments or obtain information on new treatments for patients with cancer. When clinical trials show that a new treatment is better than the standard treatment, the new treatment may become the standard treatment.
For some patients, taking part in a clinical trial may be the best treatment choice. Many of today's standard treatments for cancer are based on earlier clinical trials. Patients who take part in a clinical trial may receive the standard treatment or be among the first to receive a new treatment.
Patients who take part in clinical trials also help improve the way cancer will be treated in the future. Even when clinical trials do not lead to effective new treatments, they often answer important questions and help move research forward.
Some clinical trials only include patients who have not yet received treatment. Other trials test treatments for patients whose cancer has not gotten better. There are also clinical trials that test new ways to stop cancer from recurring (coming back) or reduce the side effects of cancer treatment.
Clinical trials are taking place in many parts of the country. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Most pregnant women with breast cancer have surgery to remove the breast. Some of the lymph nodes under the arm are usually taken out and looked at under a microscope to see if they contain cancer cells.
Types of surgery to remove the breast include:
Breast-conserving surgery, an operation to remove the cancer but not the breast itself, includes the following:
Even if the doctor removes all of the cancer that can be seen at the time of surgery, the patient may be given radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or hormone therapy after surgery to try to kill any cancer cells that may be left. Treatment given after surgery, to lower the risk that the cancer will come back, is called adjuvant therapy.
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiation to kill cancer cells. There are two types of radiation therapy. External radiation therapy uses a machine outside the body to send radiation toward the cancer. Internal radiation therapy uses a radioactive substance sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters that are placed directly into or near the cancer. The way the radiation therapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Radiation therapy should not be given to pregnant women with early stage ( stage I or II) breast cancer because it can harm the fetus. For women with late stage ( stage III or IV) breast cancer, it should not be given during the first 3 months of pregnancy.
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping the cells from dividing. When chemotherapy is taken by mouth or injected into a vein or muscle, the drugs enter the bloodstream and can reach cancer cells throughout the body ( systemic chemotherapy). When chemotherapy is placed directly into the cerebrospinal fluid, an organ, or a body cavity such as the abdomen, the drugs mainly affect cancer cells in those areas ( regional chemotherapy). The way the chemotherapy is given depends on the type and stage of the cancer being treated.
Chemotherapy should not be given during the first 3 months of pregnancy. Chemotherapy given after this time does not usually harm the fetus but may cause early labor and low birth weight.
See Drugs Approved for Breast Cancer for more information.
This summary section describes treatments that are being studied in clinical trials. It may not mention every new treatment being studied. Information about clinical trials is available from the NCI Web site.
Hormone therapy is a cancer treatment that removes hormones or blocks their action and stops cancer cells from growing. Hormones are substances made by glands in the body and circulated in the bloodstream. Some hormones can cause certain cancers to grow. If tests show that the cancer cells have places where hormones can attach ( receptors), drugs, surgery, or radiation therapy is used to reduce the production of hormones or block them from working.
The effectiveness of hormone therapy, alone or combined with chemotherapy, in treating breast cancer in pregnant women is not yet known.
Because ending the pregnancy is not likely to improve the motherâs chance of survival, it is not usually a treatment option.
Treatment of early stage breast cancer (stage I and stage II) may be surgery followed by adjuvant therapy as follows:
Treatment of late stage breast cancer ( stage III and stage IV) may include the following:
Radiation therapy and chemotherapy should not be given during the first 3 months of pregnancy.
If surgery is planned, breast-feeding should be stopped to reduce blood flow in the breasts and make them smaller. Breast-feeding should also be stopped if chemotherapy is planned. Many anticancer drugs, especially cyclophosphamide and methotrexate, may occur in high levels in breast milk and may harm the nursing baby. Women receiving chemotherapy should not breast-feed. Stopping lactation does not improve survival of the mother.
Breast cancer cells do not seem to pass from the mother to the fetus.
Some doctors recommend that a woman wait 2 years after treatment for breast cancer before trying to have a baby, so that any early return of the cancer would be detected. This may affect a womanâs decision to become pregnant. The fetus does not seem to be affected if the mother has previously had breast cancer.
The effects of treatment with high-dose chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant, with or without radiation therapy, on later pregnancies are not known.

TED ALLEN: During that era it was people like Jack Tripper on Three's Company. Who was not an unsympathetic character, actually, we liked him. Of course, that was the '70s, when it was starting to look like the country might accept us after all -- then along came AIDS and Reagan. Before that, I really had the hots for Kristy McNichol. That's the last girl I can remember lusting after, and she was always a tomboy. [Laugh.]
MW: Yeah, I had it so bad for Shaun Cassidy back then.
ALLEN: When you don't have role models and when you don't have somebody telling you that if you turn out to be gay that it's okay, you can have these bizarre [denials]. I thought Shaun Cassidy was hot, too. My sister had a life-sized poster of him. I remember ogling it and still not understanding what that meant. I can name off 10 boys from junior high school who I thought were cute, but I think I told myself that I was looking at him because I wanted to have the same hair, or I like the way those jeans looked and I wanted mine to look like that.
It sounds like I'm telling a war story from the Civil War. It just seems so ridiculous now. It's great, because kids are coming out younger and younger and more and more of them are being accepted. [But] then there's sort of the dangerous side of kids coming out in rural Oklahoma -- watching all these shows and thinking that it's perfectly okay now, and still getting the crap beat out of them.
On the gaying of television
MW: One of the things that's really striking over the past few years is just how gay a lot of television has gotten, particularly with things like Top Chef, where you have a lot of openly lesbian contestants, and gay men and bisexuals. It seems very matter-of-fact in a way that probably wouldn't have been matter-of-fact 10 years ago. What do you think has changed to make that happen, particularly on the cable networks?
ALLEN: That trail was blazed by a lot of people and a lot of cultural forces over a lot of years, whether they're obvious ones like Ellen Degeneres or even fictional ones like Will & Grace. I have to really hand it to Bravo for, on the one hand, being so open to the idea, and on the other hand capitalizing so enormously on the success that the use of gays brought to them.
At the same time that much of the country has become more comfortable with gays and lesbians, the sort of "gay sensibility" still represents something slightly naughty and very wickedly funny and cutting edge. All of those stereotypes about us being interested in style and knowing our way around the kitchen and knowing how to make a room look pretty definitely have some roots in truth, and we have a lot to offer. We also, in order to pursue those hobbies, tend to buy a lot of stuff, and that's one of the things Bravo figured out.
I think it's really great and really admirable that Bravo had the guts to put a show on the air in the first place called Queer Eye for the Straight Guy. I still remember how funny it was the first couple of times we were on the Today show watching Matt Lauer try to say the word "queer" on television. At first I hated the name of the show, I thought it was needlessly provocative -- and I was wrong. We really did get to a point, back when people were talking about Queer Eye, it became really easy for everybody to say "queer" on television. Which was great, it was really cool. So I think Queer Eye played a little role in that, too.
On the best way to learn to cook
MW: Do you think watching chefs employ some of the complicated techniques on shows like Top Chef -- like cooking sous-vide or molecular gastronomy -- scare people when it comes to cooking?
ALLEN: Well, I certainly don't think that's where you ought to start. I'm all for molecular gastronomy, I think it's really cool, but I think there are chefs who lean on it without appreciating the basics. It's like anything else, you can't expect to walk right into a craft. You shouldn't expect you're going to be a good arc welder the first time you do it either, or a helicopter pilot. You've gotta start somewhere with some learning.
But a lot of cooking is not that hard, and it's not something you need to be that afraid of. You just need to try it. You can learn a lot from reading magazines and watching tv shows, but really I think the best way to learn is to cook alongside somebody who knows how to do it. Maybe you're talking about a younger reader who hasn't done that yet. When you get into your late twenties and your partying slacks off a little bit -- maybe you start families or have more responsibilities at your job, so you're probably spending less time out in bars every night and you're getting together with friends and starting to cook together. That's what happened with us. I was cooking with my friend Amy Sullivan, who's a fabulous cook. I learned a lot from her, got inspired by the things she would try. Doing it with friends is really the way to do it.

Organization Development (MAOD)
The Master of Arts in Organization Development at St. Edward's empowers you to manage and influence change — a crucial competence in today's fast-moving, often turbulent workplace. You'll master the discipline of helping an organization solve problems and be prepared to lead successful transitions, and even transformations, in any industry or organization.
This unique program is often a catalyst for personal growth, as students examine factors that influence their beliefs and behaviors, then develop themselves as agents of change. Through focused coursework and completing a project for an established organization, you'll expand your leadership potential and strengthen your ability to influence the dynamics of individuals and groups to create synergist processes that add value to an organization's bottom line.
Master of Arts in Organization Development
Convenient Class Schedules:
The MA in Organization Development is designed to accommodate the busy schedule of working professionals. You will focus on one seven-week class at a time, meeting for 3.5 hours each week. Students take two seven-week classes each semester, with classes meeting on the same night for the duration of the program. This allows you to finish the MAOD in two years.
In the MA in Organization Development program, you'll bolster your analytical and leadership skills while learning to initiate process improvement programs, employee education and other interventions for positive change. You'll study ethical issues and human systems theory — including why there is often so much resistance to change — and how to help employees grow during accelerated or unpredictable shifts. And you'll learn effective approaches to conflict resolution, as well as preventive measures to address human resource management policies.
The MA in Organization Development paves the way for leadership roles that are both personally and financially rewarding. Career paths for graduates include working as training and development professionals, mediators, program directors, human resource and labor specialists, and other positions dedicated to improving outcomes. Graduates may also use their MA in Organization Development to pursue their own practice in management, as well as a change management consultant, assisting managers and executives to achieve organizational goals.
Course Preview:
MA in Organization Development majors take courses from these groups:
Students complete core courses that include Organization Development Principles and Practices; HRD/Performance Improvement; Leadership Development, Legal and Ethical Issues; Conflict Analysis and Resolution; and Human Resource Management, among others.
Your final course, a Capstone, applies what you've learned in Organization Development to a real-world experience, one that adds value and depth to your résumé. Using action research methodologies, you'll design and implement a change initiative — such as improving system efficiencies, quality or group performance — in a business, nonprofit, government or educational organization.
