I have been working at National InstrumentsPros
The people at National Instruments are all so incredible -- this company does a great job of hiring kind, yet motivated individuals, making anyone's experience at NI a great one. The culture is like none I have ever seen -- family oriented, but efficient. They place a high value on work/life balance, which is becoming harder and harder to find in today's society. Also, this company is very flat and transparent, meaning that you are exposed to upper management daily, and nothing is kept a secret from you. I will never forget when I, as an intern, approached CEO, James Truchard, who we call "Dr. T," just to say hello. Upon doing so, he put down his work and had a conversation with me... I will forever respect him for that. He sits in a cube, just like the rest of us, and eats in the cafeteria every single day, just like "one of the gang." I love this fact about him and the company he created.Cons
The only con I would say about working for NI would be that because the atmosphere is so laid back and comfortable, sometimes expectations are unclear and that can make some roles somewhat inefficient. You have to learn to ask for deadlines at this company.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Make sure you give your employees regular feedback, as well as deadlines. That way, they will know what is expected of them and by when, and also where they stand with you, which is very important to employees, especially new-hires or individuals who have not been with the company long.RecommendsApproves of CEO

Glass half-full: Egypt minister commits to market economy
Minister designate does not rule out return to IMF; Sees temporary difficulties, long-term outlook good; Investors have been concerned about policy direction - Reuters
July 20, 2011 12:57 by p.deleon
Egypt's finance minister-designate told Reuters on Tuesday that the government was committed to a market economy and to creating an environment in which investors could predict the future "reasonably well".
Hazem el-Beblawi, who has yet to take the oath of office, said he did not rule out the possibility of borrowing from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), after his predecessor negotiated a $3 billion loan package that Cairo later turned down.
He also said in the telephone interview that his message to investors was that Egypt's difficulties were temporary.
"For someone who has a long-term view, this is the time to come and to act on the future because of course anyone who comes now will find much better terms than he can later," said Beblawi, who is also a deputy to the prime minister.
Egypt's economy has been hammered by a popular uprising that turfed out Hosni Mubarak, driving investors away, sending tourists packing and leading to an expanding budget deficit.
Protesters, who have demanded sweeping political change, have also sought an end to a system they said filled the pockets of a rich elite allied to Mubarak's government at the expense of the poor. Some investors have feared that the call for spreading wealth could lead to a retreat from liberalisation policies.
"We are committed to the market economy. There is no doubt that whatever the abuses or distortions that happened in the past they were not simply due to adoption of a market economy but to abuse or corruption," Beblawi said.
"For the investor environment, we will honour all our obligations and commitments … We are very committed to the notion of stability and creating an environment where anyone can predict reasonably well the future. We would like to reduce as much possible uncertainty," he said.
Shrinking revenues due to the turmoil and rising demands on spending have driven up the budget deficit. The initial forecast deficit for 2011/12 was 11 percent.
This led the previous minister, Samir Radwan, to turn to the IMF and seek financial support from Gulf Arab states and others.
Radwan said the ruling military council's concerns about taking on debts prompted him to revise the budget — so the forecast 2011/12 deficit was reduced to 8.6 percent — and turn down the IMF package after it was agreed. Economists questioned both the budget assumptions and the decision to reject the loan.
Asked if he would return to the IMF, Beblawi said he did "not rule out any possibility".
"It is too early to judge now. I don't exclude anything. If a possibility is available it would be unfair to say that I will limit myself to one option or two options, but every option should be assessed quite carefully," he said.
Economists say the ruling army council, which vetoed the
previous minister's bid to borrow from the IMF, could again block any renewed attempt to return to the Fund.
Asked about any foreign borrowing, he said: "I can tell you my position in principle, I don't see borrowing as good or bad. In fact, in many cases, it is necessary but the whole thing depends on circumstances that the borrowing takes place, the terms of the borrowing and more importantly the use."
Beblawi said it was too early for him to outline forecasts for growth or other indicators. But he said the economy could start showing signs of a pick-up from early 2012 as the country emerged from parliamentary and presidential elections, and also built up new democratic institutions.
"I can see the economy will pick up gradually. I hope starting next year it will start picking up and later on it could grow even quite fast," he said, suggesting this could starting happening from early 2012.
"I don't have details, but I can see that there are signs that there is very good potential for this country. But this is not to underestimate the immediate difficulties we are going through." (By Edmund Blair; Editing by Anna Willard)

Glut of Postdoc Researchers Stirs Quiet Crisis In Science
Re:They should be getting jobs at univeristies (283 comments)
You are forgetting something. Most of the increase in tuition over the past decades has gone to hire new administrators. There are deans of this, deans of that, VP of this, VP of that, each making something like 150-200K+ Meanwhile, professors everywhere except the top elite private universities have low stagnating salaries, because in the words of a university president, "I can get faculty anywhere," i.e. the problem discussed in this article.

Reading man speaks out about accidental shooting inside grocery store
Updated On: Nov 08 2013 05:22:36 PM CST
The man who accidentally shot himself inside a Reading supermarket Thursday said he made a big mistake.
Giovanni Ruiz was standing in the checkout line at C-Town Supermarket, in the 600 block of Greenwich Street, when he reached in his pocket for his wallet and his gun went off.
Not only was it a terrifying moment for him, but also for his 6- and 10-year-old children who were standing by his side.
"Very, very scared because when I heard the gun shot, I did not know what to think, and then my dad just fell to the floor," said Jonathan Fernandez, the shooting victim's son.
Ruiz used to be a police officer in Honduras. He said he has carried a gun with him for the last 19 years for protection. He said it is the first time something like this has ever happened to him.
"Two or three years ago they came through my house. They took everything. That is why I carry a gun because you know the world right now. There is a lot of bad people outside and you never know," Ruiz said.
His children, Ruiz said, are normally right by his side, but they took a few steps toward the clerk to get a sticker. That is when the gun went off. Family members said they are grateful the children were not in the line of fire.
"I am just glad it was not worse," said the victim's son, Giovanni Fernandez.
"I am very thankful he is OK," said Jonathan Fernandez.
Ruiz said the accidental shooting taught him a big lesson.
"My mistake is that I left my gun in my pocket. I am not supposed to carry my gun in my pocket. That is my big mistake," said Ruiz.
Ruiz has a permit to carry the gun. Police told us it is safest to carry a gun in a holster.

Community Arts Program (CAP)
Wins 2013 Knight Arts Challenge!
To introduce more young Miamians to jazz, Miami's Community Arts Program (CAP) will expand its Conservatory for the Arts to include an exciting and innovative after-school jazz institute. This is made possible through support of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation as part of its Knight Arts Challenge, which has awarded $100,000 to the Community Arts Program for its Miami Jazz Institute.
Since its inception in the early 20th century, jazz has been a reflection of American culture and is widely considered as the truly original American art form. Yet many graduate from high school with little knowledge of the historical importance and practical applications of jazz. The Community Arts Program solution to this is a Miami Jazz Institute (MJI) that will stimulate children through the richness of jazz as they understand its place in American history, its musical structure, and its practical applications in one-on-one lessons on a chosen instrument and in performance as soloists and as part of MJI performing ensembles that reflect Miami's diversity. With sliding-scale tuition based on need, the Miami Jazz Institute will make it possible for more children to participate. Read more…
