away from their usual activities, including instruction of children, to conduct assessments. A monetary cost they reported was the need to hire substitute teachers so that teachers could carry out the assessments or to hire contract staff to conduct the assessments.
Information on costs to programs can be used as input into decisions for the future about the frequency of assessments (for example, whether to conduct them at one or multiple time points), whether assessments are conducted universally or for a sample of children, and whether resources need to be made available to programs to cover the additional costs of assessments.
Emerging evidence indicates that implementing a reliable and valid system of early childhood assessment requires careful consideration not only of which assessments to use but how they are prepared for, how they are put into practice, and how results are communicated to programs. In the next chapter we stress the particular importance of these issues in large-scale systemwide implementation of assessments. However, such issues as clear communication of the purpose of the assessments, consistent practices regarding communication with parents and obtaining informed consent, training of assessors, circumstances of administration to children, appropriate training and assessment practice for children learning English as well as children with disabilities, and communication of results to programs are important whether the assessments occur only within specific programs or at a broader level, such as across a state or for a national program. There is a clear need for research focusing explicitly on such issues as how child performance may vary as a function of variations in the length of assessment, familiarity of the assessor, and procedures for assessing children who are learning English.

Australia-Korea Foundation
New opportunities to study and work in Korea
Australia's Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has announced the New Colombo Plan will be rolled-out in more than 35 locations across the Indo-Pacific from January 2015, including the Republic of Korea.
Ms Bishop described the New Colombo Plan as: "one of the most transformative foreign policy initiatives that Australia has embraced".
She continued "Australia's New Colombo Plan, like the original historic Colombo Plan from the 1950s, is all about building people-to-people links and networks and friendships and engagement that will last a lifetime, not only be a marvellous experience for the individual student, the young leaders of tomorrow who will spend time living and studying and importantly having a work experience overseas, but then they'll come back to Australia with new perspectives, new ideas, new insights, new understandings, new language skills. They'll add to the productivity and prosperity of our country, but so much more importantly, they'll be part of generations of young Australians interacting with young people in countries in our region. And that kind of connection is gold."
The Australia-Korea Foundation encourages those familiar with Korea and those teaching Australian students interested in Korea to support universities to open the way for exciting study opportunities in Korea through New Colombo Plan Scholarships and Mobility Program Grants.
Useful information is available on the Australia-Korea Foundation's new "Study in Korea" webpage, including:
- a link to the Korean Government's informative site for foreign students;
- direct links to 12 Korean universities' websites for foreign students; and
- information provided by recent AKF scholarship awardees and interns about study and life in Korea in the form of blogs and videos.
Korea has welcomed this Australian Government initiative, and was one of the first countries to opt into the broader roll-out of the program from 2015. Approximately 60 scholarships and $8 million in mobility grants will be offered in 2015 to support Australian undergraduate students.
The AKF looks forward to an increasing number of Australians studying in Korea over coming years with the support of the New Colombo Plan.

KAFTA - JSCOT report
The Joint Standing Committee on Treaties (JSCOT) has recommended that binding treaty action be taken on the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement (KAFTA). JSCOT report 142 was tabled in the Australian Parliament on 4 September.
"This brings the entry into force of KAFTA, and the many benefits it offers, one step closer. JSCOT's review has clearly recognised the benefit of KAFTA to Australian business and to the Australian economy," said the Minister for Trade and Investment, Andrew Robb.

Exhibition "Vertigo"
Vertigo, an Asialink touring exhibition curated by Claire Anna Watson, will be opening at the POSCO Art Museum, Seoul, on 23 July 2014. The exhibition presents works by ten of Australia's most cutting edge contemporary artists in August 2014: Boe-lin Bastian, Cate Consandine, Simon Finn, Justine Khamara, Bonnie Lane, Kristin McIver, Kiron Robinson, Kate Shaw, Tania Smith, and Alice Wormald.
This exhibition is supported by the Australia Council for the Arts and the Australia International Cultural Council, an initiative of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The artists interrogate contemporary life, exploring the fracture, chaos and dislocation that arises in the human condition and in a world which is imbued with flux and change. The experience of dizziness and a loss of perspective are explored within a world that is gripped by an acceleration of time and pace.
Presenting sculptural works, collage, drawing and video, the artists disrupt the ordinariness that can pervade life, building new narratives of human experience. By conveying feelings of anxiety and humour, or by using absurd gestures, the artists in Vertigo attempt to make sense of the world around them, with dizzying effects.

Tabling of the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement in the Australian Parliament
Minister Robb tabled the text of the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement with the National Interest Analysis in the Australian Parliament on 13 May 2014. The Agreement will now be considered by the Joint Standing Committee on Treaties (JSCOT). More information about JSCOT and details on how to make a submission.
The Senate Foreign Affairs, Defence and Trade References Committee is also conducting an inquiry into KAFTA and is receiving submissions.
The AKF encourages Australians currently in business with Korea, as well as potential new entrants to the market, to make your views known to each of these independent enquiries. Submissions to JSCOT close on 13 June. The Senate Committee is due to table a response by 13 June. Information regarding the negotiated Agreement, including sector-specific fact sheets, is available on the KAFTA website.
Planning for the Future: Scientific and Industrial Investment
Interested in the next big technological break-through? Korea certainly is.
A new publication from the South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy describes Korea's "Creative Economy" policy as adding value through innovative technologies and creative ideas. The Ministry outlines fifteen Industrial Initiatives which apply cutting-edge research to new products in areas with forecasted demand:
- Wearable Smart Device
- Autonomous Vehicle
- Manufacturing System for Advanced Material (ultra-light/high stiffness materials used in airplanes, cars etc)
- High Speed/Vertical Takeoff and Landing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
- Safety and Health Robot
- Offshore Plant in Extreme Environment
- Carbon Materials (weight lightening, high functionality and eco-friendly transportation; carbon fibre, grapheme etc)
- Non-Ferrous Metals for the Advanced Industry (titanium, magnesium)
- Personalized Health Care System (personalised health care solutions through genetic information, medical records, data analysis and clinical tests)
- Nano Based Bio-Artificial Device
- Virtual Training Platform
- High Efficiency Subminiature Generating System (generating electricity more efficiently by using transcritical CO2 instead of high temperature and pressure steam created with oil and coal)
- Direct Current Power Distribution System
- Northeast Asia Oil Hub
- ICT Based Energy Demand Management System
If these products or technologies are unfamiliar, the Ministry's document provides further information for laypeople: Korean Industrial Initiatives for the Creative Economy.
Korea's current priorities, including the Creative Economy, were outlined in President Park's New Year Address when she unveiled her 3 Year Plan for Economic Innovation:
Board members of the Australia-Korea Foundation (AKF) were deeply saddened to hear of the sinking of the ferry "Sewol" and the tragic loss of life, young and old. Australia's Prime Minister has written to President Park and our Foreign Minister to HE Yun Byung-se conveying the sympathies of all Australians and offering assistance and support. The AKF works with many Australians engaging personally and professionally with Korea. We are all thinking of our friends and partners in Korea as they face the days ahead. We stand with you each and every day as you gradually commence the healing process as individuals and as a nation.

Signature of the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement
The Minister for Trade and Investment Mr Robb and his South Korean counterpart, the Minister for Trade, Industry and Energy Mr Yoon Sang-jick, signed the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement on 8 April 2014.

Humanities connections
The President of the Australian Academy of Humanities, Emeritus Professor Lesley Johnson AM FAHA, has recently met with Professor Sook-Il Kwun, President, and Professor Lee Song Mu, Vice-President, of Korea's National Academy of Sciences to discuss collaboration between Australian and Korean humanities scholars.
Korea's 3 Year Plan for Economic Innovation
President Park formally unveiled Korea's new 3 year plan in her address on 25 February 2014. She stressed that her goal is to build an economy based on strong fundamentals that will launch an era of happiness for the people. President Park said that the three key goals of her economic plan are, "an economy characterized by strong fundamentals, dynamic innovation and a balance between domestic demand and exports."

Open for Business: Embracing a New Era of Opportunity in North Asia
Prime Minister's Address to the Asia Society, Canberra, 26 March
The Australia-Korea Foundation was proud to support the Asia Society's luncheon on 26 March with a key note address by The Hon Tony Abbott MP, Prime Minister of Australia, ahead of his April 2014 visit to Japan, Korea and China.
The Prime Minister says he hopes to witness the signing of the Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement while in Korea.
"The Korea-Australia Free Trade Agreement will reduce or eliminate tariffs on key agricultural exports and will open opportunities for innovative service businesses, well suited to compete in President Park's "Creative Economy".
"We will open the doors – but Australian businesses will still have to walk through in order to maximise the benefits of these arrangements, in the same way that Hastings Fund Management, for instance, an infrastructure fund manager, has opened an office in Seoul and is now in partnership with the Incheon International Airport Corporation."
The Prime Minister also highlighted the New Colombo Plan and emphasised the depth of connection within the region based on decades of stability.
"Of course, for millions of Australians, the countries of Asia are family, through ties of ancestry, marriage and migration. These bonds are to be nurtured as much as the bonds of trade and commerce."
The transcript is available on the Prime Minister's website.

Video: Beyoncé – 'I Was Here'
Beyoncé aims to reach 1 billion people on one day with one message of hope with the video for "I Was Here," dedicated to World Humanitarian Day. The pop powerhouse has teamed up with the United Nations and humanitarian aid organizations to launch a global campaign to celebrate humanitarian work and encourage people worldwide to get involved by helping others on August 19. Beyoncé filmed the visuals in front of a live audience at the United Nations General Assembly Hall in New York earlier this month.
"It says, 'I want to leave my footprints in the sands of time' and it basically is all of our dreams," B told Anderson Cooper of the Diane Warren-penned ballad off her latest album 4. "And that's leaving our mark on the world. I feel like we all want to know that our life meant something."
The video was helmed by production company Ridley Scott & Associates and directors Kenzo Digital and Sophie Muller ("Ring the Alarm," "Deja Vu").

Balloon Frenzy
Use your space bar to pump the balloon as fast as you can. When it's done, it will float up. Combine 3 or more balloons up and down or left to right. Use your A and D keys to move back and forth. When you combine the balloons, the amount of playing space for your opponent gets smaller. Once your opponent doesn't have any of playing space, you WIN. You LOSE when you don't have any of playing spaces. Have fun playing Balloon Frenzy!

AUSTRALIAN HISTORY, INFORMATION ABOUT AUSTRALIAS PAST, ABORIGINAL HISTORY IN AUSTRALIA, THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN AUSTRALIA, KEY DATES IN AUSTRALIAN HISTORY. The first settlers are thought to have arrived around 50,000 years ago.
This would have most likely been at a time when the sea levels were low, the land was more humid and animals larger. Although much of Australia became populated, the central dry areas didn't attract settlers until around 25,000 years ago. The population grew proportionately quicker around 10,000 years ago as the climate improved. At the time of British settlement at Sydney Cove it is estimated that 300,000 aboriginal people, speaking around 250 languages inhabited Australia.

History. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.[1] History (from Greek ἱστορία, historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation")[2] is the study of the past, specifically how it relates to humans.[3][4] It is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the discovery, collection, organization, and presentation of information about these events.
The term includes cosmic, geologic, and organic history, but is often generically implied to mean human history. Time. The flow of sand in an hourglass can be used to keep track of elapsed time.
It also concretely represents the present as being between the past and the future. Time is a dimension in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future,[1][2][3][4][5][6] and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them.[3][7][8] Time has long been a major subject of study in religion, philosophy, and science, but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars.[3][7][8][9][10][11] Nevertheless, diverse fields such as business, industry, sports, the sciences, and the performing arts all incorporate some notion of time into their respective measuring systems.[12][13][14] Some simple, relatively uncontroversial definitions of time include "time is what clocks measure"[7][15] and "time is what keeps everything from happening at once".[16][17][18][19]

if it gets into safe mode might be worth trying system restore or ram check or hdd diags
Please excuse me for asking daft questions, but this is my teenage son's laptop and I've had very little experience of Win 7, especially if goes wrong. I'm always terrified when our own kit goes wrong; somehow it's easier at school where you can just re-image.
I need advice on the best way to proceed with this... I really need someone to hold my hand a bit
Basically it takes an age to boot ... never really finishing. All sorts of things are falling over as it goes and this is painfully slow. Its's unusable.
I am trying to boot it into Safe Mode. It goes through a whole stream of Loaded: messages and then appears to hang after
Loaded: \Windows\system32\DRIVERS\amdkmdfd.sys
Son says it will get into Safe Mode eventually, but I'm still waiting as I type this. According to him "nothing works". If you click on anything you get
"The instruction at 0x000007FEF798EC94 referenced memory at 0x000007FEF98EC94. The required data was not placed into memory because of an I/O error status of 0xc00000b5." and then click on enter to terminate program.
I have a repair disk created when the laptop was first purchased (July last year) and a set of Recovery Disks created at the same time.
Help! Please?!
if it gets into safe mode might be worth trying system restore or ram check or hdd diags
If.. I'm still waiting
Make a bootable CD of memtest86+ Memtest86 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and give that a crack to test the RAM, boot with a live CD and recover the data to a different drive then run a full scandisk and vendor utility scan on the HD (ie seatools for Seagate).
AMD stuff could be anything, I know that many vendors messed originally with Vista when the images with a Universal image that had intel drivers in it which were not sanitised out, this worked fine till SP1 which showed up the fault and wrecked all the installs in those batches. Depending on the computer something similar could have happened. A repair install after all the above steps is probably the best bet (in the case of Vista+ I think this is referred to as an inplace upgrade even if there is not version change).

Why not try the recovery disk? I have done so before and it has worked well. Is there data on there that he wants? If so and you can't get it going, what I do is either put the hd in a different laptop or buy a SATA drive cage (few quid on ebay) and hang it off another computer via USB. Unless things are really bad you can usually see the files and get them off. Then use the recovery disks.
*hang on - it's less than a year old - does it have a warranty and a tech support line??
Last edited by witch; 23rd March 2013 at 04:07 PM.
It's under warranty, but I need to prove it's not malware or software causing the problem before sending it back.
He says he backed the data up a week ago, so the data isn't critical.
How do you "prove" that other than run malwarebytes, combofix,antivirus and the rest. And you can't do that if you can't get it going, can you! If it won't start,what can you do?
I don't see how they can hold you to that unless they give you instructions about what they want checked before you send it back. After all, you could be completely un computer literate.
Sounds hardware related to me. So if you follow Synack's instructions and then use the recovery disk, that should give you an answer.
Do you have another laptop that would take the HD? That'll tell you if it is the hard drive pretty fast. It wont like a new machine - different drivers and the like but it should at least boot properly if it is OK
Last edited by witch; 23rd March 2013 at 04:18 PM.
No there's nothing that will take the HDD. Memtest86+ is currently 73% through with no errors so far.
If that's clean, I'll try the repair disk and see if that turns anything up.
Or would I be better off going straight to the recovery disks?

Good Luck
Excuse me for asking what kind of laptop ie make and model.
I'm surprised you have to send it back Two of my children have Dells and the standard warranty was that they came out to fix it. I know this because they had to come out for both laptops within the year.
Have you tried just reinstalling Win7
Or try booting to win normally and run SFC / scannow

Exodus on Screen (REVIEW)
JNS.org – The story of the Exodus from Egypt is a tale as old as time itself, to borrow a turn of phrase. It's retold every Passover, both at the seder table and whenever "The Ten Commandments" is aired on television. But the latest adaptation—Ridley Scott's epic film, "Exodus: Gods and Kings"—fails to meet expectations. Scott's "Exodus" alters the source material to service the story and ground the tale, but the attempt to reinvent the biblical narrative becomes laughable. Moses [...]Read more →

Pair plan to skateboard across USA to raise funds for cancer cure
Monday, March 11, 2013
ROLLINSFORD — Two local volunteer firefighters are embarking on an ambitious cross-country journey on skateboards to help cure childhood cancer.
"We Google searched a walking path and that's simply how we decided how to get there," said Muirhead, a Rollinsford native, who has been skateboarding since he was 8.
Weinhold, who took up skateboarding only two years ago, said he's looking forward to the opportunity to develop his skills on the road.
"It's certainly going to be practice," he said.
The volunteer firefighters plan to have someone accompany them in an RV to allow them to rest comfortably.
"It's dangerous enough during the day," Weinhold said. "We can't ride at night."
The skateboarders are asking for donations to help meet their goal for the trip.
"We'd like the help," Muirhead said. He mentioned a local skate shop may be assisting them with gear.
"Everyone is very supportive. My parents said that if I want to do it, then I should go for it," Weinhold said.
Preparing themselves for the planned excursion, the two have practiced skating long distances in the local area, including an eight hour skateboard trip between Rollinsford and Portsmouth.
The two skateboarders plan to depart in May 2014.

If I'm a business owner I have to make X dollars for it to be worth keeping my business open. Businesses are not charities, and no one goes into one to jsut break even or take a loss.
So if you raise my costs, then I have just a few solutions. Cut other costs like labor and production, or be forced to charge more, both of which could put a small business owner in a bind, as corporations are able to cut costs through economies of scale, outsourcing, etc.
So really, it's small business you're hurting.

What to say when asked: "Tell me about yourself"?
- 0Oct 13, '11 by NurseAndLovinItHey all, I know this should be the easiest interview question; but it really isn't. Like all other new grad RNs, I am desperately trying to get a job. I have had one real interview and one over the phone. I think I botched both by my weak answer to "Tell me about yourself". I ramble on saying stuff like "i just graduated....I'm about to take NCLEX....I passed NCLEX....I have a minor in...." Basically just spouting stuff thats on my resume. Ugh! I kick myself. I've been thinking about this non stop and I just can't figure out what to say. Another problem I think I have is rambling/talking too much when asked interview questions. Nerves of course, but still - not good. So What are some suggestions on how to answer the dreaded "Tell me about yourself"? What info do managers want to hear that is concise and sounds appealing to them? I have tried to look up suggestions, but can't find anything concrete. SO I come here and ask what do you all say when asked that question?
BTW, I grew up as a military brat. Would that be significant info to include to the question? Like I could tailor it to mean that I am open to change and able to adjust well in many circumstances. I have great cultural sensitivity, etc.
Well thanks for any and all suggestions. Hopefully the next time I get asked that question, I will have an awesome answer.

- 1Oct 13, '11 by not.done.yet GuideThis is your chance to give punctuation point highlights of your career, schooling or qualifications. If you graduated with honors, you mention it. If you spearheaded some kind of committee that got some major thing passed at some job long ago, you mention it. Leadership positions, volunteer work, whatever makes you shine. Name three or four major things that give an impression of who you are and then wrap it up nice and neat with why you are excited to be a nurse or to be interviewing with them. Make it specific to that company and/or job. It leaves things conversationally open for them to launch the next question.
What you don't do is tell them how old you are, how many kids/dogs/cats/fish you have, what you like to do in your spare time, share political views. They are trying to establish professional communication with you. It is ok that you are saying a few things that are on your resume - reading it and hearing it are two good ways to make it memorable. Just keep it conversational. Throw in some humor if you are good at that kind of thing.
- 0Oct 13, '11 by SunshineAnytimeDo a search on all nurses for the john hopkin's interview guide. Its a great guide and tells you how to answer "tell me about yourself" and some other interview questions. I think a good tip to keep in mind is that managers are looking for a good nurse and a good EMPLOYEE. Tell them things about you based on your education and past work experience (healthcare or not) that shows that you will be a good employee and how you will benefit the floor.
- 2Oct 13, '11 by classicdame Guide"I am excited to begin a new career in a fascinating field. I believe that nursing will allow me to grow professionally and personally. "
Basically, I have a feeling the interviewer wants you to volunteer personal information like number of dependents, married or not, how far you away you live, do you hate the idea of working nights, just got married and wanting to start a family right away----------- I recommend you create a script then stick to it. Only volunteer what you what EVERYONE to know and it does not have to be personal at all.
- 0Oct 13, '11 by NurseAndLovinItThanks all for the info! That definitely helps me think of things. I've got some ideas in my head, I think I will write them down for me to read if/when I get another call. I just got to work on not rambling xD
- 13Oct 13, '11 by llg GuideQuote from classicdameAs someone who has interviewed people for possible hiring, I hate the answer quoted above. I would NOT recommend. It sounds totally "canned," impersonal and does not reveal anything about yourself. The interviewer wants to know about YOU -- not some standard generic drivel that basically doesn't say anything or do anything that helps you stand out in their minds as an individual. And one thing you never want to do in an interview is disappoint and/or frustrate the interviewer. It doesn't help your cause to appear to be dodging the question by giving an answer that sounds like it came out of a book."I am excited to begin a new career in a fascinating field. I believe that nursing will allow me to grow professionally and personally. "
Basically, I have a feeling the interviewer wants you to volunteer personal information like number of dependents, married or not, how far you away you live, do you hate the idea of working nights, just got married and wanting to start a family right away----------- I recommend you create a script then stick to it. Only volunteer what you what EVERYONE to know and it does not have to be personal at all.
Pick a few things about yourself that you don't mind sharing. They should be a bit personal and unique to you. Remember, they want to connect with you as a person. They want to know who you are, why you are applying for this job, and what you will be bringing into their work environment. So pick a few personal tidbits that you don't mind sharing -- and use that as your opportunity to establish a personal connection. For example, I wouldn't mind sharing that I am single, where in grew up, where I did my education and have gotten experience, what I am looking for in a job, why I am interested in this particular job, etc. Just be sure those things are all positive and do not include any "red flags" for them. If you have recently moved to the community, this is a good opportunity to tell them what brought you to the community -- and give them some reason to believe you plan on staying there a long time. etc.
In short ... identify a few personal qualities about yourself that make you an attractive job candidate and share them. Use that opportunity to make that personal link with them -- as opposed to the textbook phrases that often sound fake, insincere, or at least impersonal. Sound warm and friendly, like someone they would enjoy getting to know and working with on a personal level. We do that by sharing a few personal tidbits. After sharing a few personal tidbits ... then move the conversation into your skills and strengths -- things that you will bring to the job.
Remember: Hiring managers rarely hiring resumes. They hire people they want to work with. This is your chance to show them the person that you are. Be personal -- but only show them parts of yourself that they would consider positive.
Good luck!
- 0Oct 13, '11 by anotheroneI don't agree that sharing any personal information is necessary. if that means i won't be hired, so be it. I give scripted replies, but more along the lines of (example), " I graduated from X university with a bsn in nursing and worked in adult poat surgical floor for x years, i am interested in pursuing a career in OR nursing and my background on a post surgical floor........................................" something like that. I think half the time the interviewers don't really know what to ask and are asking scripted questions themselves.
- 4Oct 13, '11 by Nascar nurse, ASN, RNI have also been hiring people for many years and I agree with everything llg said. It really is OK to give some brief personal information - but keep it kind of brief. I had one person start with "I was born in 1962 on a farm down on Green St. in Nebraska. My parents names are Joe and Jane. I have 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 2 dogs, 2 cats and a goldfish named Sam. I started kindergarten in ....blah, blah, blah" Ummm...I did not hire this person based on this answer. I also rarely hire the person who wants the job because "Uh - you had an ad on the internet"
I am interested in how the candidate answers this question but I am just as interested in how the candidate handles the question. The best ones seem to sit up straighter, lean in slightly, smile and act as if they are excited to tell me the best parts of them (without coming across as smug). I want to know maybe why you became a nurse, maybe what brought you to my facility or department for a job, what are your goals that may relate to this department.
- 3Oct 13, '11 by llg GuideI'm not saying you have to reveal a bunch of personal stuff -- or that you should reveal anything really private. I'm just saying that it is to the applicant's advantage to appear personable and establish a human connection between themselves and the interviewer. In today's economy, job applicants (particularly those without a lot of nursing experience) need every boost they can get. Use such opportunities to help yourself stand out and make a positive connection.
I interview approximately 75 nursing students per year for jobs at my hospital. I also interview 5-10 experienced nurses per year for leadership positions. I have a lot more applicants than I have jobs to fill. And I have been filling positions for over 20 years. Anyone who "plays games" with me during the interview, tries to pull the wool over my eyes, gives me "canned" answers from a book that don't really tell me anything about them as a person, or avoids answering the questions I ask ... is not doing themselves any favors.
I know that sounds arrogant and my sound offensive to some of you. I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend. I'm just telling you all what it looks like from the other side of the interview. Sure, there are some interviewers who don't know what they are doing. But those of us who DO know what we are doing don't like to have our time wasted by people reciting scripts that could be used by anyone. If we are taking the time to ask a question, we want an honest answer that reflects the uniqueness of the person who is saying it. If I want want "stock answers," I'll buy the book.
If you are not the right person for the job, I'll probably figure it out. So your best bet to get the job is to BE the best person for the job. Figure out what the hiring manager is looking for and BE that person. When there are several people applying for the same position, that's your best bet.

text: The King of Cash: The Inside Story of Laurence Tisch is not an authorized biography, but it may as well be, with its uncritical portrait of the billionaire businessman who took over CBS and cut it down to size. Written with all the flair of a bank statement, this ''inside story'' fails to penetrate the character of the gnomish mogul whose greatest passion is trimming costs and increasing shareholders' returns. Author Christopher Winans, a former editor at The Wall Street Journal, provides numbing dollar-signed details of Tisch's rise from resort-hotel operator to Loews kingpin to media czar. Though Winans judges Tisch's reign a success, the book stops short of CBS' recent ratings tailspin and glosses over the botched deals and executive defections that have left the onetime Tiffany network badly tarnished. The ''King of Cash'' legacy awaits a more exacting audit. C+

Oct 22, 2013 6:57 PM
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Apple Inc. is refreshing its iPad lineup and slashing the price of its Mac computers ahead of the holiday shopping season, as it faces an eroding tablet market share and growing competition from rival gadget makers.
Apple unveiled a new, thinner, lighter tablet called the "iPad Air" along with a slew of new Macs Tuesday at an event in San Francisco. The iPad Air weighs just 1 pound, compared with 1.4 pounds for the previous version. Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller called the tablet a "screaming fast iPad." He said it is eight times faster than the original iPad that came out in 2010.
The iPad Air will go on sale Nov. 1 and start at $499 for a model with 16 gigabytes of memory. Apple plans to phase out its third and fourth generation iPads while the iPad 2, which launched in 2011, continues selling at $399. A new iPad Mini, meanwhile, will be available later in November starting at $399 for a 16-gigabyte model. It has a retina display designed to give it a clearer, sharper picture and the same 64-bit chip that powers the iPad Air.
"I think today was about re-establishing that the iPad is the benchmark for what a good tablet experience should be," said Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi. "Too many times when we look at these devices we focus on hardware, not the whole experience."
The iPad's market share has been eroding compared with cheaper rivals running Google Inc.'s Android operating system. Research firm Gartner Inc. estimates that Android tablets will end 2013 with a 50 percent share of the worldwide market versus 49 percent for the iPad. Just two years ago, the iPad commanded a 65 percent market share compared to 30 percent for Android tablets.
Apple sold 14.6 million iPads in the June quarter, down 14 percent from the same time last year. It was the first year-over-year decline in iPad sales. Nonetheless, Apple CEO Tim Cook touted that Apple has sold 170 million iPads since the tablets launched three years ago.
Tim Bajarin, a Creative Strategies analyst who's followed Apple for more than three decades, said the 64-bit chip in the new iPads makes them the most powerful tablets on the market. Keeping the iPad 2 on store shelves also makes sense, according to the analyst.
"That's the one that's a big hit in Asia and emerging markets," Bajarin said. "It's still got a lot of traction."
Apple also refreshed its computer lineup. A new, 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display is thinner and lighter, Schiller said, adding that the laptop has up to 9 hours of battery life, enough to watch the entire trilogy of 'The Dark Knight' on one charge. The notebook's new price is lower: $1,299, compared with $1,499 for the previous version.
A larger MacBook Pro, with a 15-inch monitor and 256 gigabytes of storage starts at $1,999, compared with $2,199 for the previous version.
The Mac Pro, a high-end desktop computer aimed at what Apple calls "power users," will be available in December for $2,999.
The company also said that its latest computer operating system, Mavericks, is available free of charge.
Apple's new gadgets come not only at a time of toughening competition. They arrive as retailers face an uncertain holiday season following a 16-day partial government shutdown. Retailers say Washington's gridlock has caused people to hold off on shopping, though they hope that this won't last throughout the holiday season.
Evens so, some analysts are optimistic about Apple's prospects.
"Between the iPad and iPhones, I think they'll have a monster holiday season," Bajarin said.
Shares of Cupertino, Calif.-based Apple climbed 83 cents to $520.70 in after-hours trading. The stock had closed down $1.49 at $519.87.

Obamacare is a turd. - Page 3
This loophole wasn't lost on some unnamed individuals who queried the Department of Health and Human Services during an open comment period for the new law in 2011.
While officials at HHS did not respond to requests for comment on this story, they did offer a glimpse into their thinking in a March 27, 2012, report contained in the Federal Register.
"HHS will continue to explore options for incentivizing appropriate use of the grace period," the register said. "HHS will monitor this issue moving forward and will continue to work on the development of policie
From Labor Union Report, you can see the video at the link:
Headed by a former field director of Obama for America, Battleground Texas' sole aim is to turn Texas from a so-called "red state" to another California–that is, almost singularly controlled by liberal Democrats...
Now, however, a video released by James O'Keefe's Project Veritas over the last few days has revealed that Battleground Texas may actually be gathering data on ObamaCare enrollees from one of the groups enlisted to enroll ObamaCare enrollees.
According to O'Keefe's video, Enroll America, a "501(c)(3) organization whose mission is to maximize the number of uninsured Americans who enroll in health coverage made available by the Affordable Care Act" is sharing data with Battleground Texas.
Clarence Landry, an organizer with Enroll America, Texas, is seen on the video talking about working with, and cross-pollinating the same data with Battleground Texas... ...If Battleground Texas is a Democratic political action committee as is stated in the video, why is Enroll America sharing data with them?"
dena, I suppose replying as proxy for Little may be good practice just in case of Little 2016—you may become the WH spokesperson and get to deflect for a president.
I was asked to wrap my arms around his comment. I responded to say how this felt to me, but after further consideration, it feels like a homework assignment that was never collected.
About your questions, they don't feel to me like they are about Obamacare, at all. I would say the connection is in Obamacare being a subset (or evidence) of big government. I'm not a fan of big government, but neither am I a fool in believing every move made by the government is an evil. I claimed that I'm a centrist (moderate something) but I hope that I'm a liberal thinker:
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood."
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Self-Reliance
I believe that Little's proposition of Obamacare perhaps amounting to a tax is reasonable. It seems to me that perhaps you view Obamacare—in requiring a purchase—as a new extension of the nanny state. I definitely see the nanny state aspect of government; however, being the cynic that I am, I see it more of a "toddy state" of the wealthy.
You asked me what other purchases should be mandated; I'm not giving this any thought. Nevertheless, whether we like it or not, they have, e.g. seatbelts, airbags, safe boating equipment, helmets, and car seats for infants and others for children.
well the real numbers came out today, if you can call them that.
The feds have "signed up" 50 thousand. That took 45 days.
Now by signed up, the feds counted anyone that put a health care plan "in their account"
These people refused to tell us how many people are actually paid. They claim they dont know. that is not true. I'll bet a UNH Tervis Tumbler that is a lie.

Lately I've been thinking of Justice Roberts.
His courthouse is not a hermitage; justices do read newspapers.
What does he think now of his vote, one of the five that upheld Obamacare?
I think I know.
He's still worried the NSA spy stuff they have on him will come out.

Who do you think is paying the bill for the costs to the system for the no money uninsured today? Your tax dollars have been paying $11.5 billion a year to states defray the cost of uncompensated and undercompensated care that arises when the 'free stuffers' go to the hospital. This subsidy has been drastically cut because of the assumption that all states would expand Medicaid.
As you would expect, most of the subsidy went to the Republican states where the poorest lived. So if you are the state of SC and are looking at a major cut to the $322 MM subsidy for health care for the uninsured, where do you get the money?
Raise taxes? Take money away from other programs? Let the people die in the streets?
How about expanding Medicaid.
Who do you think 'Pays' for Medicaid?

No One Is Illegal Toronto Presents
60 Lowther Avenue (Friends House) | May 15 | 7pm
Join us: www.facebook.com/events/550644838389366/
On May 15, NOII-TO hosts a night at the movies. Join us for an evening of building resistance to immigration enforcement as we launch our latest film Migrants: Know Your Rights, a compilation of strategies that migrants can use to defend themselves against detention and deportations. With contributions from many local activist organizers and based on legal materials produced by the Immigration Legal Committee of NOII-TO and the Law Union of Ontario, this 25 minute film is grassroots filmmaking in action.
Featuring an introduction by award winning documentary film director and producer, Min Sook Lee (El Contrato, Borderless, Hogtown), and a moderated discussion with community organizers on the front-lines of the struggle for migrant justice, the event will be a space for our communities to gather, learn, and discuss strategies to take the fight to push immigration enforcement out of our lives to the next level.
Migrants: Know Your Rights materials have been developed by contributions from many organizers over a three year participatory process, designed to link our campaigns for access to services, and an end to detentions and deportations. The film presents a compilation of strategies that migrants can use to defend themselves against detentions.
Migrants in a maximum security prison in Lindsay Ontario have been on strike since September 17, 2013. They have refused to enter their cells, boycotted their detention reviews and have been on hunger strike - 2 of them for over 60 days. Striking detainees have been deported, locked up in segregation, denied medical services and transferred to other prisons.
Inspired by their actions, we have formed the End Immigration Detention Network. There are a lot of actions taking place right now that are all on our campaign website. Please visit www.endimmigrationdetention.com

Mohamed and Shyroz Walji and their daughter Qyzra had been trying to get permanent residency status in Canada for 15 years. Qyzra had cerebral palsy and the family was supported by a patchwork of help and donations. Rather than waiting for their forced deportation to Tanzania, the family was found dead in their London apartment earlier this month in an apparent murder - suicide.
Please join us for a vigil at sunset in support of the Walji's family and friends and to hold Immigration Canada and immigration enforcement accountable for what they and Canada's immigration system have done and continue to do to people.
We are full of tears and rage about an immigration system that would have families die rather than give them status. Join us as we remind the people that denied the Walji family status that they are literally forcing people to their deaths.
Prominent political activist, Muhammed Sillah was slated for deportation to the Gambia where he fears for his life because of his outspoken activism. Community pressure stopped his deportation on June 11th, yet today, a month later, he is still in detention and facing racist abuse.
In retaliation for protests and actions in his support, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) refuses to let Muhammed Sillah rejoin his family, despite a Federal Court ruling insisting that he be able to contact a lawyer and file new applications for his stay.
Not only has CBSA put up obstacles in front of Muhammad's release, they and their private prison profiteers G4S use racist slurs against him, denying him basic rights and have refused to let his wife visit him.
Sign, share, and tweet this petition! Demand that Muhammed Sillah be released and the racist CBSA officers be held to account: http://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/cbsa-what-your-mom-doesn-t-cook-yo...

Japanese surgical robot can perform a bypass on still-beating hearts
When doctors need to perform a coronary bypass, it typically involves cracking open the patient's chest and stopping all functions of the heart. From Waseda University in Japan comes a robot that could end the need for that second step, at least.
The surgical robot is so precise that it can actually account for the motions of a beating heart and still proceed with surgery — no small feat, considering the operations being performed require millimeters-long accuracy. Despite how handy a robot can be, though, the biggest barrier right now is the price of one of these 'bots, as well as the gross maintenance costs.
On the other hand, robotic surgical assistance and advancements in nanotechnology could result in surgeries where you don't have to get your chest cracked open ever again — instead leaving you with the tiniest of scars.

Introducing Grover, a Business Syntax
John McClure recently wrote for Mike 2.0, "Grover is a semantic annotation markup syntax based on the grammar of the English language. Grover is related to the Object Management Group's Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Rules (SBVR), explained later. Grover syntax assigns roles to common parts of speech in the English language so that simple and structured English phrases are used to name and relate information on the semantic web. By having as clear a syntax as possible, the semantic web is more valuable and useful. An important open-source tool for semantic databases is SemanticMediaWiki that permits everyone to create a personal 'wikipedia' in which private topics are maintained for personal use. The Grover syntax is based on this semantic tool and the friendly wiki environment it delivers, though the approach below might also be amenable to other toolsets and environments." Read more
