'More than ever before' now studying Sci/Tech in Blighty

All engineers & scientists are equal...
Is it just me, or does the opening paragraph not make sense....
``University admissions statistics reveal that more students than ever before in Blighty have enrolled on courses in science and engineering this year."
So far, so good. But then
``Unfortunately this progress has been achieved at a grim cost, as far larger numbers of young people have as usual chosen to study law, business, management, psychology - and computer science."
This seems to imply that the author prefers science and engineering over "law, business, management, psychology"; but then the author adds ``computer science," which is both a scientific and engineering discipline.
Is the author suggesting that all engineers & scientists are equal, but some are more equal than others?
Should I be worried about our future?
"Journalism and Media Studies, while not yet attracting five-figure student bodies, surged worryingly - up by 15.7 and eight per cent to 2,675 and 5,141 respectively.
That's an awful lot of young lives thrown away."
Well McDonalds needs to get their staff from somewhere.
And afterwards?
Be interested to see how many actually get work in their chosen subject/field.
reminds me of the old adage
An engineering student asks "How does it work"
A Science student asks "Why does it work?"
A Sociology student asks "Do you want fries with that?"
Just an idea, but how about giving a maintenance grant to those doing Science and Engineering subjects. So if you want to study a B.Sc or BEng you get a nice fat grant if you want to do BA, LLB, etc you take a loan. Only trouble is sometime faux Science subjects like Psychology get lumped in with proper science and get awarded B.Sc's
I'm a techie looking to go over to the Dark Side...
To be honest, being good at what you do isn't good enough anymore.
It's not enough to be competent, skilled, to have an excellent work ethic, be willing to relocate hundreds of miles away on the whim of a client, constantly learn new skills in your own time - without any extra training or help, be willing to work your behind off for a badly-organised project manager - whose failures and shortcomings will probably be pinned on you anyway - and, also, to accept the risk that you could be fired at any moment with no regard to commitments (like digs, transport, etc) that you have organised with respect to the client - which you will, of course, have to pay out of your own pocket. Yes, even if they hired you for a job that doesn't exist (that has happened to me twice, by the way.)
In the past, rates were high enough to allow one to do business in this way, even if it was very stressful. Nowadays, the risk margin simply isn't there - and I'm sick of being the one who is always being outsourced. I'd like, for a change, to have MY finger on the big red button - and, to be in control of my reward. Yes, it means I'll have to go and find my customers - but on the other hand, with ~97% of job agents being about as useful as a chocolate teapot (and with my contacts list now big enough), it's no longer the challenge it once was. What's more, being the pimp is a lot more rewarding than being the prostitute. Look at it this way: At least I can still get paid to watch other people get screwed! :)
Three year drunken, drug addled orgy....
Then sober up and try and find a job. It doesn't matter what you study because you won't remember any of it!!!
Prime fodder for Business Anlaysts shurely?, hic..
There was a rise in the overall number of uni students.... and every subject (except Chemistry) consequently saw a similar rise in numbers?
Also, a lot of students choose pointless courses?
Talk about an insightful article.
/takes off sarcasm hat.
If you're not going to uni to study science, don't go to uni at all. I was smart enough to figure that out, why are so many kids today so stupid? Interested in something? I think you'll find the library is free of charge mate. Students just want to get pissed and universities just want to make money, that's all it's really about.
Surley there is something useful we can do with all these lawyers? Biofuels maybe? At the very least we could collect all the hot air to replace a power station of two?
Those I have known
I've met many physicists, engineers and even computer scientists who were as knowledgeable about the arts and literature as most arts graduates I have met. I have never met any arts graduates knowledgeable to that degree in the fields of science and engineering.
I wonder why this would be? Is it the company I keep?
CompSci in UK
CS in UK is mostly worthless. I've met quite a few graduates who knew jack shit about programming after finishing this. Also programming jobs are getting more and more scarce as most companies outsource to India.
I suppose media studies can be useful - soon graduates will have better chance to live from publishing a blog that hoping to find a programming job in Blighty.
Media Students
"Journalism and Media Studies, while not yet attracting five-figure student bodies, surged worryingly - up by 15.7 and eight per cent to 2,675 and 5,141 respectively.
That's an awful lot of young lives thrown away."
Says the journalist working for the media.
I guess its just 3 years of various kinds of irony they're all in for.
Yeah right...
"The UK is world leading in science and engineering research"
They repeat this like some kind of mantra, to brain wash us all into believing it, but they happily give hundreds of billions of our money to banks (and their greedy corrupt directors), but I don't see them putting that much investment into science and engineering education and projects to help boost the UK economy. Engineering in the UK has been in decline for decades. So has the UK electronics industry. Sure successful companies still exist here and there, but they are not treated the way leading countries treat their science and engineering people and companies.
I'm sure if questioned they would trot out the old line about the so called UK biotechnology industry to distract us from seeing so many areas where we are not "world leading" (tm). Also "our UK" biotechnology industry isn't even ours, as its part of multinational companies, so not just UK companies). Also most of our big companies in many industries are owned by groups outside of the UK.
So the UK is world leading in science and engineering, ok then:
Where is our broadband speed compared with the rest of the world?
Where is our Samsung, Intel or Honda?
Where is our car industry compared to the other countries?
Where is our architecture compared with countries like Dubai or Shanghai etc..?
How about our investment in science and engineering compared with other leading countries?
So I hear the political Rhetoric and their all too common lies and manipulation, but I don't see the evidence?
Yet I work in science and engineering, so I would love to say its the best in the world and if I look hard enough I'm sure I can find a small pocket here and there where we do good, but that is still overall small fry compared to the science and engineering of many other countries e.g. Korea, Japan, China, America ... in fact many European countries show more interest and respect for science and engineering than the UK. For us to be "world leading" (tm) we need to be leading.
Its so ironic as huge investment in science and engineering has already proved what a vast different it can make to the UK, but that was back in the Industrial Revolution when we were "world leading in science and engineering (tm)" ... we need to stop living on past glories and focus on competing in the 21st century. First step sort out UK broadband so other new companies can grow from that rather than playing catch up to many other countries.
But then we are "world leading"(tm). With statements like that, it looks like the UK is world leading in Political Rhetoric and lies. The other countries must be laughing at us. :(
engineers & scientists???
"Is the author suggesting that all engineers & scientists are equal" I hope not since to be a "science" graduate takes three years, to be an engineer takes about 7 (3 for your BEng, 1-2 for your MEng and then 2-3 for your charterd status).
I know because im an engineering drop out.
Computer Science?
I wonder how many students are studying Computer Science because they think it will teach them how to create webpages, write Java code or fix PCs?
A 'proper' CS degree is essentially a mathematics degree at core, but with additional extras such as computer hardware concepts, formal language/grammar, and other more computer-related areas.
Any programming that is taught is done in order for the student to then use that language _as part of the course_ to demonstrate understand of other topics, such as algorithms, concepts, etc. That's why CS courses generally use less-that-real-world languages such as Pascal, Prolog, LISP, etc.*
I guess I'm one of those CS graduates with delusions of grandeur, although I didn't end up being a code monkey. My delusions of grandeur caused me to end up as an IT architect, although I continually use the abstract concepts I learnt as part of my CS degree - it's surprising how pervasive a lot CS subject matter is.
Understanding how IT works at the theoretical level makes the job a lot easier, and has continued to interest me in my post-graduate life. A lot of techies, designers and architects don't realise there's a whole theoretical layer underpinning what they're working with, and therefore don't get such an insight into what's going on, making the job less interesting and, sometimes, more frustrating.
*OK, these languages do crop up in the real world, but not as much as Java, C, C# etc.!
Not all degrees get you money...
It's a fairly well documented that "people who complete degrees will earn more money than those who stop eductation at A levels" I think the current number is £100k over a lifetime of work, but that is thanks to the wonderful world of averages.
In detail, those students doing "proper" degrees such as maths, engineering and science will earn up to £200k more (again on average over a life time) and those doing our favourites such as media studies and psychology will in fact be about £50k worse off, excluding their lovely student debts of course!!
I would love for student to read and understand that, but those who can read and do "the math" are probably the ones doing the proper degrees already.
After "three hard years" at university studying pschology, where the biggest effect on your grade seemed to be if you had slept with your lecturer or not, my EX girlfriend decided to get a job as a part time nursery nurse, wow, what a way to use that eduction.
Obviously she was dumped immediately and I hooked up with an accountant!
Paul - BEng(Hons) , CdipAF, MBA (sorry) and best of all MIET.
It's funny you should say that.
I worked all over Europe building up internet companies back in the late 90's and everyone I met seemed to look upon Britain with the kind of pity you reserve for your dribbling, whisky soaked Aunt huddled over in the corner.
What I can't stand is all that elitest bullshit from the tabloids about how great this country is. Every single European City I've been to knocks spots off the ones here in just about every sense.
Why am even still here? Lazy, that's why <sigh> bring on the BOFH.
CS programmers?
``CS in UK is mostly worthless. I've met quite a few graduates who knew jack shit about programming after finishing this."
Any monkey can program. I am a computer scientist, not a programmer! Programming is only a small part of a CompSci degree. Of course, I can use the tools of my trade, but I do not program for a living.

I consider myself a scientist not an engineer. But I have an MEng (which includes BEng), which took four years of study. Chartered status can be applied for without any additional effort as such, you merely have to have demonstrated various skills in your day job.
The press release clearly also failed to mention the huge surrge in people studying degrees in various forms of "forensic science" ... appartently programs like CSI have caused young people to seek a glamorours career in forensics. Only problem, as pointed out in an article on this in the Guardian is that now each year enough students start forensics degree courses to replace ove half the existing workforce in this area in the UK .... it helpfully suggested that this imbalance could be fixed if half the students could be persuaded to take up an alternative career as a serial killer!
Re: "CompSci in UK"
CompSci in the UK is a really mixed bag. Some of us spent four years studying everything from analogue and digital electronics, through half a dozen programming languages from assembler to Prolog, and lots of mathematical theory to boot.
Other's spend the same time learning to code in Java, and get to build a pissy little website for their final year project.
Computer Science is probably the single least standardised subject in higher education. In physics or maths you can reasonably expect two courses to offer the same essential material, but not CS.
I've known CS grads who could barely code in one language and didn't have any real understanding of the inner workings or theory of computation. But I've also known ones who can do funky things like get a hand-built Z80 micro-computer to display a spinning wireframe model of a cobra mark II on an oscilloscope.
All degrees are equal, but some are definitely more equal than others.
Chemistry is on the decline
because chemistry departments are on the decline.
Specialist fields (organic-chem, chem-eng, comp-chem, forensics etc) get siphoned off into other, larger, "more appropriately equipped" depts, or get split off into their own separate group, and they take most of the industrial funding with them. Fundamental chemistry is left to huddle in the corner, poor and unloved.
And if it can't make money, the university heads will kill it.
Drop out rate
"Whether that means another 11,000-odd pukka tech wizards to add to the ranks of the real engineers and scientist"
The statistics do not provide the story! These 11,000 will be reduced by 50% when half of them drop out early next year when they realise web design isn't taught... And, moreover, they cannot comprehend how computer scientists count in such a funny manner with number systems starting from 0.
Come the revolution....
At least we keep an accurate record of the lawyers as they go through the system to held keep a tally for the firing squads.
Viva la revolution!
Message to Oliver Jones
I read your comment Oliver with interest. I was a Senior design engineer (electronics), then a Project manger until the company I worked for went tits up. In all the years I worked I too had to put up with customers who didn't really know what they wanted. Idiot bosses who couldn't listen and graduates who thought a degree made them capable. I decided to set up my own Design agency, and so far this year have stayed afloat. It gives me enormous freedom to work with who I want, and some customers I will in the future politely decline, where as before I was at the beck and call of idiots regardless of how dangerous they where to my mental health. Oliver just go and do it. It might take time to get established, go in cheap, build up a client base, get real freedom. The inland revenue run some really good courses on being self employed, free courses too. Free custard creams and coffee too. JUST DO IT, don't end sat in a job you hate, and are trapped in thinking those two terrible words "IF ONLY"
@ Oliver Jones.
Laughable commentary.
Seems to me that the only one who has kept you in your current malaise is you. If you seriously believe that being pimp will be more rewarding that prostitute in an IT sense then you are probabaly just not good enough.
I've been contracting for 15 years without any issues, have made a shit load of money and regularly take breaks of up to 3-6 months to enjoy life. Never in all that time have I seen a pimp manage that.
Good luck blaming everyone else though. You'll realise one day that you can run away from everything but yourself.
"Understanding how IT works at the theoretical level makes the job a lot easier"
Ditto everything you said, and the other glad CS grads too. I'd only add that assembly language programming may have been the most valuable course I took. Talking to the machine in its own language really helped me understand how it works.
Forensics - AC
Having achieved Chartered status in a 'real' science (one of the sciences that does not have 'science' in its name), and having worked as a forensic scientist, I have some bad news for people with forensic science degrees - You will not get a real job in a real forensic science laboratory.
Professional forensic scientists almost always have a good degree in a 'real' science subject - They are then taught the forensing stuff as junior forensic scientists.
It should be noted that after about 20 years, I switched to IT, which is a damned sight easier and much better paid than 'real' science...
Freedom and bosses ... (a bit like heaven and hell)...
@Aristotles slow and dimwitted horse:
Frankly not everyone is as arrogant as you which is probably why you do so well in business, because it gives you a way to deal with bosses and play them at their own game. Another clue is the joyous way you have to hold up and trumpet your repeated "shit load of " successes in front of everyone, when you see others are suffering and finally coming to the realization that their trust in bosses is misplaced and been exploited rather than rewarded. I strongly suspect someone like you doesn't care about trusting bosses, because its obvious to people like you not to trust them. Unfortunately its not obvious for everyone. Sadly most people (including me) are far more trusting of their bosses, believing (usually wrongly) that they are investing in their own future, in "their" company, when in fact its not their company at all, (not one fragment of it), its only the bosses company (which is all to often proved too late for them, when they are made redundant and they have to face up to the pain of their wasted investment, knowing their bosses have got rich and continue to benefit from their investments, while they are left with having to rebuild their lives again). Been there, done that, (too many times) now I'm sick of trusting bosses words. Sadly for most of us, its a painful learning experience because we want to trust and we want to invest, but so many bosses exploit, rather than reward.
Employers want employees to be completely trustworthy, but employers are not trustworthy. So many of them play by a different set of rules. For example many bosses do everything they can to manipulate wages down, whilst getting as much work for their money as they can. Thats not trustworthy, they are looking to undermine you, not reward you. Also they so often talk of rewarding employees, yet so often there is no year end bonus or reward, because there's always an excuse to explain away why there's no employee bonus or reward. Yet look at their yearly reward and compare their disposable income to your own, then you will see they effectively live in a different world to you where a few thousand extra per year means very little to them, yet its everything to you. It makes a huge different to most workers. (Go to www.companieshouse.gov.uk and check out their reward then you will see through their words).
@Oliver Jones:
Well said and I totally agree with everything you said. Be your own boss. Be free. Without a boss, it becomes your money, your time, your way ... and without the incessant stresses of office politics and trying to keep ignorant arrogant bosses happy.
If you have to ask, then you have just answered the question
@Kerry Hoskin
"Just an idea, but how about giving a maintenance grant to those doing Science and Engineering subjects. So if you want to study a B.Sc or BEng you get a nice fat grant if you want to do BA, LLB, etc you take a loan.

Any scientific field whose predictions are precise and accurate enough to get US soldiers to jump from a 15% shoot-to-kill rate (WWII) to 90% (Vietnam) can be considered legit.
Now I'll grant you that definitely psychoanalysis and probably even a lot of clinical methods are bunk, but the hardcore of psychology: behaviorist analysis, cognitive psychology, neuroscience ... this is all very real.
Quit yer moanin'
Might I be so bold as to suggest that the reason so few young people study science at university is because secondary science teaching is boring as hell.
And not only secondary science teaching - when I was a Physics and Computer Science undergraduate at Durham university (no less) I found the teaching to be, largely, rubbish. (Perhaps this might explain the high drop-out rate on science and/or computer science courses.) There were only two lecturers who were good enough communicators for me to consider them teachers; the rest were researchers who could not really think down to an undergraduate level (and some clearly resented having to do so). Those who graduated from the course will have had these lecturers as their exemplars for what a science teacher should be, thus adding to the ranks of inadequate science teachers.
I say 'those who graduated' as I did not. I got sufficiently frustrated that I got clinically depressed and had to leave Durham on medical grounds. (Once gone I decided not to return.)
I then took a degree in Performing Arts at Middlesex University. I can hear you laughing now, but with my PA degree I managed to get a lecturing job which paid £30k – and I don't even have a teaching qualification. I'm currently studying for a masters at Goldsmiths. The teaching on both courses has been excellent, and I am certain that the course graduates will inspire many more people to study the arts at a deeper level. (And until you've explored the intricacies of Rasa theory in relation to the Poetics, don't tell me it's not that deep.)
To look down on liberal arts students misses the point. We need better science teachers and lecturers.
Finally, Britain's arts sector brings a great deal of money into the country. So shouldn't we have an arts-led economy?
Real Science
I'm about to start a Geosciences degree, with a long-tail plan to do a MSc in Earth Sciences and (preferably) complete my PhD at leisure.
I had a long conversation with a friend who had a laugh at this - "Earth Science isn't a proper science!" he said, "it's just another bandwagon for greenies!". But it wasn't long before he was stumped... few people, especially young people, understand the scope of Geo/Earth science. It's biology, chemistry, molecular science, geology, maths and physics.
The chap who claimed you can become chartered in science faster than engineering has an incomplete understanding of what 'real' science is. Sure, you can specialise and do nothing but physics, but - and here's where the kids are going to struggle - real science has no shortcuts. It can easily take 10 years to become a Chartered Geologist, and there are so many subcategories and specialities-within-specialities in science that what you get paid in science is down to how serious you are about it, how you plan your career, and your own drive and ambition.
There's a good chance I'm being naive, to think any ambitions of having fun and a good career in any of my fields of interest (seismic, ocean, mantle, soil, etc - "geo" sciences), but if you're so easily dissuaded at the beginning, then in all likelihood you're not cut out for the long haul. Generation Y is impatient, obnoxious (thanks to the web), and spoon-fed, so I'm not worried they'll be taking the jobs I'm after (I'm 38 - "it's never too late").
Now, if money was my chief motivator, and yeah if I was 10 years younger, then I'd probably think about engineering too. Science and Engineering are partners for good reason.
Thinkers doers and all others?
How many scientists does society need? I'm sure we all know at least one highly educated person who is incapable of accomplishing anything. Or do you work with people that are really good at things the business doesn't need or care about? What would my country look like if it were populated entirely by scientists?
BTW, I'm a fine art major who ended up working in engineering, IT and finally accounting.
You know what they say at art schools these days, "the MFA is the new MBA".
Unfortunately, our new class of Professional Politicians are almost exclusively drawn from "General Studies" graduates. They do right well too, profess a grasp of technical issues, but have little understanding or sympathy for the absolutes, culture and discipline necessary to produce more than hot air.. My MP is a BSc and PhD Political Science. How narrow is that? And, what a shining example.
What is engineering? To keep under performing departments open,and to increase access to "university" we now have degree programmes leading to accreditation at CEng, IEng and conceivably Eng Tech level. Then, there are GasSafe "Engineers". The intellectual requirement of these programmes varies radically.
Re: Message to Oliver Jones
AC, I think your words are misguided. If ever there was someone who had ever given up before they had begun then Oliver Jones is that person. There is not a cat in hells chance that anyone who wrote that comment could succeed on their own at anything, I wouldn't even trust him to make a cup of tea without guidance.
Count me in with Aristotles slow and dimwitted horse with about 10 years more experience and the same work/rest ratio.
What a complete load of twaddle, you are confusing arrogance and confidence, the woe is me attitude of Oliver Jones and the grasp the bull by the horns attitude of the dimwitted horse. Furthermore, any contractor who was confrontational, which is what I assume you mean by "play them at their own game", with the person who had hired them would soon be out of a contract.
>Be your own boss. Be free. Without a boss, it becomes your money, your time, your way...
Why don't you and OJ just get a flat and do it, there's obviously some form of utopia out there that comes to those who think they deserve it.
This is all about the pay, you know
The reason we're getting so many media studies goons and so few scientists is this: science is bloody hard work and doesn't pay particularly well. Research scientists start off as PhD students slaving for an established researcher and trying to get a degree alongside this somehow, then become semi-nomadic post-docs, trying to move from grant-position to grant-position, frequently moving hundreds of miles every few years, searching for a permie position.
If you don't manage to make a name for yourself in a decade or so after PhD graduation, you're effectively doomed to this nomadic life forever, or to dropping out and getting a job outside science. Basically, the career structure for research science sucks big-time, the pay is truly lousy for the amount of training required to do the job, and you can do way better in jobs you're not even qualified for.
This why I, as a scientist qualified to PhD level in bio-sciences is working as a UNIX sysadmin; the pay for this permie job in a university is about 30% better than I could get in any research job, plus the position is permanent. As long as British industry, such as it is, rewards arty-farty twerps with media studies degrees better than it rewards scientists this is going to continue.
Sad but true
My son is in first year of 6th form and really loves science, engineering maths, so no fool. However trying to get some sort of work experience has proven that the UK does not value this sort of student. For the Headstart courses, fine if you want to be an accountant, lawyer, doctor, they will provide work experience at companies, but for engineering (one course for the WHOLE of engineering!!). Well, there's 30 places in THE WHOLE OF THE COUNTRY and even then, it's at a university, not a company.
So that's what we think of kids who are our future - go be an accountant, or a lawyer, but otherwise don't bother.
Should really sign off as p@@@ssed off of surburbia
Work experience
If your son is anything like I was at sixth form, he simply does not have enough expertise at the moment. However, after the first year of my degree I found myself a position at a small company. This is very uncommon and few students manage it; but clearly it is possible. Thereafter, the summers of my 2nd, 3rd and 4th year were relatively easy to find positions. I now teach undergraduates and I hand pick the best ones and find them positions with companies for their summers.
"science is bloody hard work and doesn't pay particularly well. Research scientists start off as PhD students slaving for an established researcher"
Me and my £25k tax free stipend, whilst living in Japan, as a PhD student, beg to differ.
AC as I don't want to sound like a cunt.
Beer as, well, I like to drink.
@Pah, UK PhD students earn nearer £12k tax free.
Beer, because, I like to drink too.

A massive Samaikhya Andhra JAC public meeting is being proposed at Acharya Nagarjuna University in Guntur district on December 28.
Ahead of the proposed all-party meet called by the Centre in New Delhi on December 28, Vijayawada MP Lagadapati Rajagopal has categorically said that there was no question of leaving Hyderabad to Telangana.
Speaking at a meeting of the Samaikhya Andhra Joint Action Committee meeting here on Saturday, the MP said that Hyderabad does not belong to any small group of people, but entire Andhra Pradesh as investments were made there by people from Andhra and Rayalaseema regions also to create job opportunities. Ninety-nine percent of the jobs created there were done this way and there was no question of leaving it to Telangana.
"Opportunities should be open for people from all regions and if the people from Telangana threaten even while Hyderabad is in combined Andhra Pradesh, one can imagine the fate of the people from Andhra and Ralayaseema if Telangana was carved out with Hyderabad," he pointed out. He cited several incidents where even the MLAs were not allowed to hold a meeting and expressed fear that properties of people from other parts of the State will not be secure. The meeting attended by members of Samaikhya Andhra Student JAC leaders from Rajkumar - SVU, Tirupati, Mahesh - AU-Visakhapatnam, Rajendra - JNTU-Kakinada gave a Chalo Delhi call for December 28.
A massive Samaikhya Andhra JAC public meeting is being proposed at Acharya Nagarjuna University in Guntur district on December 28. From December 9 to 28 JAC members will visit villages in Andhra and Rayalaseema regions to spread awareness on Samaikhya Andhra it said. Others who attended included JAC Convener Naraharisetti Srihari B. Ashiratnam from Vijayawada.

Would you rather date a rocker or a sweetheart?
I hate to use stereotypes because not everybody fits 100% into one category. However, I was wondering for both girls and boys which was more appealing? Are you more attracted to someone who dresses daring and edgy or someone who reels it in with a more conservative look? Or maybe you like something else altogether. Let me know your opinions =)

Authors: Anna Lennox Esselment, Jennifer Lees-Marshment & Alex Marland
Published June 2014 in Commonwealth & Comparative Politics.
Abstract: Political advisors to heads of government occupy such a privileged sphere of influence that their role is a source of consternation among democratic idealists. Interviews with advisors to prime ministers of Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK inform a small body of comparative literature about political advising in the Commonwealth. The authors find that first ministers consider input from many advisors and therefore the counsel of any one advisor is of limited impact. Further research is needed to understand the extent to which these agents project the power of the executive office and make decisions on the principal's behalf.

E-book companies raided over EU antitrust concerns
Summary: Unannounced inspections of e-book companies took place on Tuesday, and the European Commission has so far refused to identify the targets of the raids
European authorities have raided the offices of e-book companies over antitrust suspicions.
The unannounced inspections were carried out on Tuesday in "several member states", the European Commission said in a brief statement on Wednesday. The Commission would not say who was inspected or where in the EU the inspections took place.
It did say, however, that it had "reason to believe that the e-book companies concerned may have violated EU antitrust rules that prohibit cartels and other restrictive business practices".
A spokesperson for competition commissioner Joaquín Almunia said on Thursday that the Commission had acted on its own initiative. No formal complaints have been received and the raids took place following "market monitoring and letters from MEPs and consumers", the spokesperson told ZDNet UK.
In its statement, the Commission stressed that such inspections are only a preliminary step into suspected anti-competitive practices, and do pre-judge the outcome of any potential investigation. It also noted that the inspections were carried out with the assistance of "relevant national competition authorities".

As traffic cameras capture smiling faces and various hand gestures in Red Bank, officials continue to question Mayor Monty Millard's directive to disconnect the devices for good.
"We've got to do our homework before we take them down," Vice Mayor Greg Jones said. "I don't think we've done that yet. It will cost something, and we'll have to deal with the safety issue."
During his inaugural speech, Millard asked City Manager Chris Dorsey to cancel a 12-year contract with American Traffic Solutions, the company that provides the city with three sets of cameras and a speed van.
But officials involved in the negotiations fear that Red Bank may have to pay a six-figure penalty for breaking the contract, a move that won't be politically palatable to a city that spent $172,724 in reserve funds to balance the budget without a tax increase last summer.
The first time Red Bank can leave the contract without financial penalty is 2013, but other factors are in play. Millard, the lone opposing vote to the contract extension the city reached in January with American Traffic, runs for re-election in 2012.
"I do what the commissioners want, but if the ballpark number's out of the realm of possibility, we'll have to wait," Dorsey said. "Any large number will be detrimental to us."
Dorsey's reluctance to aggressively break the contract underscores miscommunication between him and Millard, who made his pitch to turn off the cameras on Nov. 16.
Late last week, the mayor said he urged Dorsey to write a letter to American Traffic officials about leaving the contract, but Dorsey said he had no knowledge of that request. No such letter was sent, he said.
Millard now says the city is waiting for "verbal communication" from American Traffic before proceeding further. He said he's anxious to hear something, considering that "20 to 25 business owners up and down Dayton Boulevard" told him the cameras were "killing them."
"It may well be one day next week before we get any information," he said. "We need it."
Dorsey said the city may end the red-light infractions caught by cameras, but keep cameras for speeding tickets at the city's three major intersections.
Dorsey staunchly defended traffic cameras before Election Day, but now that at least two commissioners want them gone, he's going along with their wishes.
"Sometimes I feel like an attorney," he said. "I still think the traffic cameras do some good, but if the commissioners want to get rid of them, I'll proceed down that road."
Contact staff writer Chris Carroll at ccarroll@timesfree press.com or 423-757-6610.
I quit doing business with two services in Red Bank after getting a ticket at a red light where I did stop at the white line before turning right on red. The video only started where I was pulling out and did not record where I had stopped which was behind the big white line as I was supposed to. A smart ass at Rd Bank city hall refused to listen to any explanation. Keep the cameras if they are valued by city leaders but assure they record the entire event before issuing a citation.
I have not in the past year and will not return to Red Bank for any reason. I know others that have done the same thing. I know one business person that left Red Bank for a similar reason, I'm sure there are others. I could understand it if every business in Red Bank left. My resentment of the unjust treatment I received makes me wish they would.
While I believe the cameras are a big part of Red Bank's problem, I think the larger problem has been the heavy handed tactics of the police department and the generally ultra-conservative nature of the politics and governance. Your schools are dying, your businesses have died, and your property values have tanked. If you look just over the ridge, you will see high property values, award winning schools, and thriving businesses in North Chattanooga. Think about it and ask yourselves why. Stick to your current plan Red Bank and soon you will likely become another Rossville.
I haven't had a camera ticket but a Barney Fife Smart Azz on a motorcycle gave my wife a warning ticket. Seems he couldn't read the temporary tag on her new vehicle through the window tint while wearing his sunglasses. His helment was on so tight that day his big head was out of order and he was thinking with the little one as some men do sometimes. Some who still don't get it think it's all about reckless driving, speeding and running red lights. It's about abuse of power and people feeling uncomfortable. Old Joe let that thinking get his job and he still don't get it. I lived and shopped in Red Bank for many years. I'm 67 now and much wiser . I left. I hear Dub's is leaving also . I agree that mill & Mine and Ace is the only worthwhile places there these days . There's other Ace Hwde's also Home Depot and Lowes . So that only leaves Mill & Mine .
As I have said before...I was raised in Red Bank and my mom still lives there. BUT I avoid it like the plague. I go to her house and straight back to 27. I do not run red lights if I can avoid it and do not speed but I also do not trust these traffic cams and feel they are ONLY a ploy to fee grab by the the City of Red Bank. Frankly I don't turn on Red and if I even think a light is going to change I slow to a crawl and get ready to JAB on the brake to prevent going through the light. (Tell me that is safer?) I agree with Monty on this one, the Traffic cams need to GO! Red Bank might have a chance at having some business revenue then. Ask your selves Red Bank Commissioners how many businesses can you name that USED to be in Red Bank but are no longer.

It's been a serious year for automotive advertising. From dancing hamsters to big-name talent like Jennifer Lopez, Eminem and Dr. Dre, we saw automakers go all out in an attempt to lure buyers to their showrooms. But which spots garnered the most eyes? SkiddMark.com has taken the time to rank the top ten most popular automotive commercials of 2011 on YouTube, and it likely comes as no surprise that Volkswagen took the top spot with its The Force commercial. The spot debuted during the Super Bowl and featured an adorable Darth Vader. The combination was good enough to win the company a staggering 47.5 million views and over 4.8 million shares.
By contrast, Ken Block's Gymkhana Four drug home 13.1 million views and 2.1 million shares to take home second place. That's a massive gap, though Block also took the fifth and eighth place spots with his Gymkhana Three and Two, respectively. Not too shabby for selling sneakers.
Other winners included the Team Hot Wheels Yellow Driver's World Record Jump and the Chrysler Eminem Super Bowl Commercial. Head over to SkiddMark.com for the full list.

Playing CS gets me away
from all of my problems every day

My disease might be bad
but I won't be sad

with such a great game to play
I can have 30 procedures on my spine
But as long as I can play CS
I'll be just fine
So give me my M4 so you can see

Might be a stupid poem but sums up my week pretty much. I need something to do while on bedrest for a few weeks and nothing excites me more than a new CS. My clan is still going strong on CS:S and it's a good game to escape reality because releasing my rage in a virtual world is a much safer option. :P

November 26, 2014
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The lawyer for former Lady Vols media director Debby Jennings says discovery of information regarding former Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt should be included in his client's lawsuit against the school and athletic director Dave Hart.
David Burkhalter made his argument Thursday in a response to Tennessee's motion for a protective order that would forbid discovery of information related to Summitt's illness and the circumstances surrounding her departure as Tennessee's coach.
Tennessee said the requested information isn't relevant to Jennings' claim of disability retaliation. Burkhalter's response said granting the school's motion "would be the equivalent of granting the death penalty" to Jennings' disability retaliation claims.
Jennings is suing over allegations that age and sex discrimination led to her forced retirement after working 35 years at the school.

This from a friend/co-worker who knows A) I m/c and B) I'm desperatly ttc.
All she did was compain, complain, complain...I was NEVER like that when I was pg with DD or with baby I m/c.
I guess I'll just stop asking "how are you?" It wold be so refreshing to hear someone respond "I feel so fortunate and am loving every minute" instead of "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it's been sooooooo tough, blah, blah, blah...."

When people complain about their morning sickness, swollen ankles, whatever, I always respond, "Wanna trade? I'd love to have those symptoms and be expecting a baby." It isn't mean, it is true. It usually stops those comments and it is just honest.
I'm sorry you're going through this. Two women at my work are due the same week I would have been with my first pregnancy and I've been through a lot of insensitive comments.
Hang in there!

My sis is pg (she got her BFP the day I had my D&C) so she's a constant reminder. The other day she was complaining about how uncomfortable she was and how she hated being pg. I wanted to smack her! Instead, I told her I would gladly trade with her. When she realized how her comments affected me, she apologized and quit complaining. Maybe you need to tell her coworker that.
|Fri, 07-23-2004 - 10:23am
She had a perfect little girl on July 2nd and I'm happy for her, really - but I just wish she would have been more thankful and considerate during her 9 month adventure.
I just wanted you to know that you aren't alone. A good friend of mine just found out she's pregnant (4 weeks and 1 day) and she's already complaining, but I shut her down yesterday when she was saying that she already didn't feel good and figured it was going to be a miserable pregnancy. I told her, "You really should be thankful for what you have and be happy every day that you have such strong symptoms to let you know everything is going fine. Be happy for the gift you have been given. You never know when it could be taken from you." She shut right up and was embarassed. I doubt she'll be complaining around me anymore. Maybe, just maybe, she might even be more thankful for her pregnancy.
Maybe I'm mean. I just didn't want to hear it for 9 more months. You know?

SAN FRANCISCO, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The federal government's former head of energy transportation will be addressing the University of California Berkeley Forum on Thursday, April 10, 2014, from 4:00 - 5:15 PM. The panel discussion will focus on energy policy, consumption, and the future of fossil fuels.
A staunch advocate for stronger federal oversight of the energy, transportation, and utility industries, Mr. McCown served as the first head of the federal government's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). He will be addressing current and pending challenges facing California and Washington policymakers, including recent high-profile pipeline and rail incidents in New York, Quebec, and California.
Appointed by UCB alumnus, former Secretary of Transportation, Norman Y. Mineta, Mr. McCown's agency was responsible for overseeing the safe and secure movement of one million daily hazmat shipments as well as the country's 2.6 million miles of pipeline. Currently, PHMSA oversees the logistics and infrastructure associated with two-thirds of all energy products consumed in the U.S. on a daily basis.
WHO: Former federal pipeline and hazmat safety regulator, Brigham A. McCown, is available for interview this week in San Francisco, prior to his upcoming speech to the University of California Berkeley.
WHAT: McCown states, "Our Nation faces significant energy infrastructure challenges. How we advance our energy priorities, address shortcomings, and leverage technology will define our country for generations to come. This dialog isn't a wish or a desire; it is a necessity for our economy, our safety, and our way of life. We must roll up our sleeves, put aside our differences, and come together to find solutions to these challenges."
WHEN: April 8th - 10th, 2014
