25 Candidate Interview Reviews Back to all interviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
Engineering Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took a day – interviewed at General Motors.
On Campus (University) interview process. Very straightforward process with many behavioral questions. Asked about previous projects, interests in GM, why GM etc. Asked to describe projects and how they relate to work at GM. Interviews all done using the STAR method. Initial stage was something of a screening step, then asked to interview with managers. Managers conduct the interview and describe the STAR method. They even provide a rubric. The managers are quite nice, very straight forward and helpful throughout the process.

Donated Dog Blood Helps Give Cat Another Life
By editor
Originally published on Wed August 21, 2013 7:03 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. In New Zealand, dogs and cats have put aside their differences. When Rory the cat was brought to a vet last week after eating rat poison, he was on death's door and needed a blood transfusion fast. There was no time to get a donor match, so the vet took a risk and used blood from a doggie donor instead. The inter-species gamble paid off. Rory's owners report the cat is doing well and has shown no signs of wanting to play fetch. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A Fox News Anchor Called the Bachelorette a Slut on Air

Here's what actual slut-shaming looks like.
Imagine if everybody you knew in high school could anonymously broadcast the meanest things they ever thought.
It's what this video suggests.
Chatting with the high-school students who made their own experiences into a Fringe Festival play about slut-shaming.
The week in vulva insults.
The store recalled a nonsensical tee about the singer's love life.
Even promiscuous women don't want to be friends with other promiscuous women.
On the preferred weapon of vigilante hackers, new media insurgents, and misogynist teenagers.
Against that slut-shamer James Molinaro.
The answer may surprise you.
Or was, until she was indicted.

Minority Business News
Federal Contracting with Blacks has Declined
FUBU Founder, 'Shark Tank' Star Talks Business
A few years ago, the unusual occurrence of a Manatee in the Memphis area caused great local buzz and attention. The salt water giant found his way into the waters of the Mighty Mississippi and into the hearts of Memphians as they tracked his movements. Well, in similar fashion we recently had another giant of the sea, a "Shark", (not the aquatic variety), visit our fair city to much fanfare and accolade. Daymond John, a fashion industry pioneer, is founder of the FUBU clothing line and star of the ABC reality show "Shark Tank," which features a team of wealthy and successful investors (the Sharks) being pitched by up-and-coming entrepreneurs to invest in their fledging business ventures.
An Inside Look at the New Fronting Game
There is much corruption when it comes to procurement. Probably the industry with the most corruption is construction. Keep in mind that corruption is the first cousin of discrimination which is why the establishment cringes at the thought of Black strangers coming into their territory. They want to keep the graft private.
Minority Business Owners Expand Cupcake Business Via Local Farmers Market
Icing on the Kake by Khayla is now providing gourmet cupcakes each and every weekend at the Yellow Green Farmers Market in Hollywood, Florida. Owners Khayla and Ty Stanley started Icing on the Kake by Khayla in January 2011 as a made-to-order, gourmet cupcake and special order cake catering business for parties and events. Through word-of-mouth referrals and a loyal customer base, Icing on the Kake by Khayla is rapidly growing.
Greater Diversity Tech News : A Comprehensive Online Marketing Strategy
Business owner's question: Our website is a plumbers website. The account has already been set up by Google and I am looking for someone to manage the account. The campaigns need tweaking and we are trying to get on the first page of Google and keep it there. Could you tell me how many hours a month you would need to manage the account ? Would we get monthly reports of the performance of our Adwords account. Is their any guarantees and assurances you can give us?
Getting Smart on Surety Bonds: African-American Female Business Owner in St. Louis Got Funded.
When I quit my job with the post office to start a building maintenance company that specialized in big public buildings, I knew I would have to be good. Better than the big companies that were already doing it. What I didn't know almost killed my compnay: I needed bonding and working capital and was told it was impossible for me to get it because I was a new business and had no credit. But I found it. And I thought this information might be useful to other minority entrepreneurs.

The scores were read 115-113 Lara, 115-113 Canelo, and then a shocking 117-111 Canelo. It was a close fight and on social media, most fans had it very close. Alot of draws or Lara up 1 or Canelo up 1. In the post fight interview Canelo Alvarez accused of Erislandy Lara of running track and field. If he wanted to run then he should have joined a marathon. He then gave a big shout out to Mexico.
Then came the Lara interview. Lara stated that he won and that he made Canelo look bad in front of his people. He feels that he was robbed. The Mexican's know I won the fight. He said he has no respect for him. He wants a rematch. Canelo stated that once Erislandy Lara stops running then he will give Lara a rematch. What a great fight. More to come soon.

The handy free How to Can app has been updated, and is now available inside the free MOTHER EARTH NE...
Here are three simple ideas for making your own seed packets.
You can cut down on the cost of moving by using towels and sheets as packing material.
Separate the tomato water from tomato pulp to make a delicious broth.
Tomatoes are always in abundance around harvest time. The best part about this crop is its ability to store easily through pressure canning. A time saver in the kitchen, canning whole tomatoes gives your pantry a diverse selection when it comes to dinnertime. With the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning, you'll learn the hot pack process for canning tomatoes. Try this and our other canning resources to help you stock up after each harvest.
The following is an excerpt from the USDA Complete Guide to Home Canning covering how to can crushed tomatoes.
Quantity: An average of 21 pounds is needed per canner load of 7 quarts; an average of 13 pounds is needed per canner load of 9 pints. A bushel weighs 53 pounds and yields 15 to 21 quarts-an average of 3 pounds per quart.
Procedure for hot or raw tomatoes filled with water in jars: Wash tomatoes. Dip in boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds or until skins split; then dip in cold water. Slip off skins and remove cores. Leave whole or halve. Add bottled lemon juice or citric acid to jars (See acidification directions). Add 1 teaspoon of salt per quart to the jars, if desired.
Raw pack — Heat water, for packing tomatoes, to boiling. Fill hot jars with prepared raw tomatoes, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Cover tomatoes in the jars with boiling water, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
Hot pack — Put prepared tomatoes in a large saucepan and add enough water to completely cover them. Boil tomatoes gently for 5 minutes. Fill hot jars with hot tomatoes leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Add cooking liquid to the jars to cover the tomatoes, leaving 1/2-inch headspace.
Adjust lids and process according to the recommendations in the Image Gallery — depending on the method used, times will vary.
Have a smartphone or tablet? Download the free MOTHER EARTH NEWS library app for access to our How to Can resource (also free!). Find it in the iTunes App Store and Google Play. It's the power of canning know-how in the palm of your hands!

Anyway, I have been an LPN for several years prior to starting the RN program, and had worked in a surgeons private office in the past(And did a good job too if I do say so) I loved it, and was sure I wanted to work in the OR when I was done with school. Now I'm not so sure, after talking with instructors, recruitors, and other nurses. While I did enjoy the med/surg rotations, I'm just not sure if it's for me, or at least the long term plan. I think my instructer is worried that I'll get in the OR, work a few years and hate it, and then be afraid to come back out on the floor , a recruiter, after finding out I was interested in the OR(I think she was looking for med/surg nurses) told me , It takes a certain kind of person to like the OR,and sort of.. well blew me off, and other students /nurses think I won't like working with "unconscious patients". I tell them they aren't unconscious when they first get in the OR and I would want to know someone like me was there looking out for me when I was anesthesized. It's almost like OR nurses are thought of as from a different planet or something. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks
- 0Dec 27, '01 by MarijkeDon't give up on your dream, no matter what other people say. It sounds to me like you are the kind of caring person I would like to have around in the OR.
I have also experienced this attitude towards OR nurses. If I go to the ICU or ER to assist in the transfer of a critically ill patient I usually am ignored and have to start asking questions regarding the care of the patient. I have the feeling OR nurses are the only ones that take over the care for a patient from another unit and are expected to do so without getting report. This would never happen between 2 other units for example ICU to a medical floor.
We are not just technicians, but highly trained and skilled professionals, in an ever changing and challenging work environment. Follow what your heart tells you to do, I don't think you will regret the choices you will make (whatever it might be). Good luck!

Property owners to be polled on parking meters
Date: August 4, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The City Commission has asked the Downtown Improvement District (DID) board to take a position on the installation of parking meters downtown. But before board members decide whether to support installation, they want to hear from the district's property owners.
The DID is inviting those property owners to its Aug. 11 meeting to provide input.
The city is planning to install parking meters along Main Street and several of its side streets as early as this fall. The project had been considered a done deal for the past year, but last month two commissioners, Kelly Kirschner and Terry Turner, suggested that the installation be put on hold because of the current economic conditions.
The commission is scheduled to make a final decision on parking meters Aug. 17 is seeking the DID's opinion before that date.

Wheatstone SG-192
Stereo generator
The SG-192 offers a dynamic L-R limiter to help mitigate the effects of multipath-induced stereo receiver blending in the absence of clean reception. Interfaces for the exciter include the legacy composite analog signal, or AES composite baseband option with compatible exciters. Inputs can be traditional analog, AES or WheatNet-IP. Wheatstone's baseband192 digital MPX technology samples the baseband up to 192kHz to include the FM composite as well as RDS and SCA up to 67kHz carrier frequency. Adding RDS and SCA to the digital baseband eliminates analog injection of the RDS and SCA carriers into the exciter, which translates to a lower noise floor and less crosstalk between carriers.

schools and food rules.. pre-packaged snack and lunch requirements
A lot of schools now have rules to help peanut allergic kids- such as requiring snacks to be peanut free or even requiring that ALL snack foods are pre-packaged. Some schools are even requiring that lunch side items from home are pre-packaged items. (no home made baked goods, etc.)
I get protecting kids with bad allergies, that's not what this is about.
It got me and DH thinking, my son can't have wheat, soy, dairy, egg, peanut, sesame, seafood, peas and some other nuts. So if the school makes a rule that ONLY pre-packaged items are allowed, are they allowed to enforce this on a child who can't eat anything that comes pre-packaged? Does my child have to sit by and watch the other kids eat foods he can't have while not being allowed to eat?
Where do they draw the line? Are the *potential* risks to some kids allowed to mandate that my child either directly eats his allergens daily or be home schooled? Are they allowed to say we have to conform or he can't be at the school? He can't eat anything they serve through the school lunch program, so if they took his food and made him get a school lunch (as I have heard of schools doing), he would not be able to eat it.
This came up on another board I go to, I asked this question and was told I could find something. Okay, yes, if I had to pack lunch for my son with pre-packaged foods I would have to send him an entire loaf of bread, entire box of cookies and entire carton of rice milk so that they were sealed. Chips and crackers would come in whole bag quantities. Is $15/day for a nutritionally deficient crappy lunch considered a minor inconvenience I should just suck up and deal with? It seems unreasonable to me that on the one hand there is a kid whose allergy can mandate what food is allowed for an entire school, and on the other is a child who is denied balanced food completely so as to not make the parents of the other anxious. Where does the line get drawn to where somebody can say it's too much to force somebody to invest in lunch? People don't seem to understand that I can't just toss some sandwich crackers in his bag for 10 cents a day. He can't exclusively eat fruit cups every day for years. The parents saying it's a minor inconvenience to save somebody's life aren't looking at their child's lunch cost being more than half of the entire family's grocery bill. If I can't mandate that they only get to send in pre-packaged foods free of all my son't allergens, why do they get to mandate that I only get to send in pre-packaged foods?
Does anybody know if schools with packaged foods rules make exceptions for children with other health needs? In my experience, parents wanting the policy basically say it's your problem if you don't like it, they shouldn't have to keep their kids home... but in the case of numerous other allergies the policy allowing their child to attend creates an insane hardship that would force my otherwise unobtrusive child to stay home.
I'm getting scared wondering if I should scrap saving for retirement and save for DS's meals while in public school instead.

I have one child in private school and one in public, and neither school probits you sending your own child home cooked or home made food. My son's school does prohibit peanut items, my daughter's only does if a child in the class has a peanut allergy. My son's school does require pre-packaged goodies if you are giving them to the whole class only, but other districts do not require this. NO ONE can tell your child they have to eat an allergen. I would discuss very clearly with the school district your child's dietary needs and go from there. The rules vary and your child should be a part of everything they can be.

Our school has serves sunbutter sandwiches and offers a peanut free table but the kids that bring their lunch are free to bring peanut butter sandwiches. They do have a rule that all birthday/class snacks have to come pre-packaged and have the ingredients on the package (I had an issue one day as the snack was cupcakes from a very good bakery but there were no ingredients on the box).

It's comforting that there are schools more leniently enacting policies. The only ones you hear about are when they are taking items away. About a year ago I spoke to somebody I knew in high school and her daughter had her entire lunch taken away because she had an unlabeled granola bar. They gave her a school lunch and sent a note home with an amount due.
I can't imagine what it would be like to have the one kid with the exception and the volunteer parent that day didn't realize it and took his lunch. I am going to just keep my fingers crossed nobody with a bad allergy is at his school so it doesn't come up.
Sounds like at the very least, DS is never taking in a treat because we don't even have bakeries that could make something for him and labeled. I can totally live with that.

The only pre-packaged food requirements for my children's school is if it is for a class party. Other than that, they are allowed to pack whatever they want. As for allergies, which both my children have, our school district has a special dietary needs form on the website, I was able to download it, fill it out (list allergies and acceptable substitutes), have the Dr sign it, and return it to school. The dietary needs for my children are loaded into the cafeteria computer, and shows up when their lunch cards are swiped. This allows the cafeteria to substitute something in place of the foods they are allergic to this way they still get a balanced meal.

40 Hedge Funds' Best Stocks Show the Way for 2012 (Update 1)
If there is one sector more boring that telecom, it's utilities. Though many are big dividend payers, there's little excitement in owning an electricity company. Making matters worse, the utility sector saw earnings dip 0.4% in the fourth quarter, according to FactSet Research. Looking ahead, utilities are the only sector expected to see earnings shrink in 2012, with analysts' estimates calling for a 3.2% slide.
Despite those negatives, utility stocks have been the best performers this year on the S&P 500, climbing 14.8% in 2011. Boring and unsexy is much more palatable if it means getting a big return. However, that success hasn't carried over into 2012, with the utilities sector down 4.2% through Feb. 15.
David Shaw's hedge fund was one buyer of utilities during the quarter. DE Shaw upped its stake in companies like Northeast Utilities (NU), Constellation Energy (CEG), FirstEnergy (FE) and CenterPoint Energy (CNP), among several others. Leon Cooperman made a bet on NRG Energy (NRG) during the quarter.Meanwhile, Moore Capital was a seller of utility stocks such as PPL Corp. (PPL), Westar Energy (WR), Consolidated Edison (ED) and Pinnacle West (PNW). Paulson & Co. made a big sale of Genon Energy (GEN) during the quarter. York Capital Management dumped a large stake in CenterPoint during the quarter. Quant fund Renaissance Technologies liquidated 21 positions in utilities stocks during the quarter, selling shares of Southern Company (SO), PG&E (PCG), Pinnacle West, and Duke Energy (DUK), among others. >>To see these stocks in action, visit the Utilities Stocks Bought and Sold by Hedge Funds portfolio on Stockpickr. -- Written by Robert Holmes in Boston.

An illegal Power Grab or an Immoral Delegation of Duty?
Malloy Moves Connecticut Toward A One Branch System of Government.
Up until six weeks ago a Connecticut Governor had the authority to cut (rescind) up to 5 percent of any budget line item without legislative review.
It was an extremely powerful tool to deal with budget deficits.
Six weeks ago, when the Malloy/SEBAC concession package failed to get sufficient votes to become law, Governor Malloy called the Connecticut General Assembly into special session and requested that the Legislative grant him super authority to cut up to 10 percent of any given budget line item without Legislative approval.
Following negotiations between the Malloy Administration and Democratic leaders, a bill granting Malloy the 10 percent authority but limiting that number when it came to municipal aid was adopted and signed into law.
Now the Malloy Administration claims that the Legislature not only gave him the 10 percent rescission authority he requested but ALSO gave him the authority to cut $700 million from the budget regardless of where those cuts come from.
Sometimes there are stories that are so incredible that it takes a few days for the concept to even sink in.
Keith Phaneuf's story in yesterday's CTMirror is just such an example.
Here is what happened;
When Governor Malloy's Plan B Budget Plan was released on July 15, the new Office of Governmental Accountability received a 17 percent cut and the Office of Policy and Management ordered the staffs at the Freedom of Information Commission, Ethics and Elections Enforcement divisions to reduce their budgets by 15 percent.
When Keith Phaneuf asked about the unprecedented and unauthorized magnitude of the cuts to the watch-dog agencies, Gian-Carl Casa, OPM's Undersecretary for Legislative Affairs told him "We believe that the statute does give the authority to make the necessary reductions…"
Casa went on to say that a section of the new law (Section Eight) allows OPM, with the governor's approval, to reduce expenditures "by the amount of the Executive Branch budget savings" that would have occurred from the concession deal. In this case the amount to cut would be $700 million.
However, in another part of the new law (Section Six) the Legislature updated the existing state statute that grants the governor that authority to make budget cuts. They expanded it from 5 percent to 10 percent of an appropriation but then went on to limit that expanded authority by removing municipal aid from the 10 percent threshold.
When the new law was adopted the meaning seemed pretty clear. In fact, when State Senator Toni Harp, the co-chair of the Appropriations Committee, introduced the bill on the Senate floor she said that the 10 percent rescission authority and the layoffs were needed to balance the budget in response to the failure of the Malloy/SEBAC concession deal.
Now, however, the Malloy Administration is saying that because Section Eight does not contain the 10 percent limit the two sections work independently and the Legislature gave the Governor the authority to cut what ever he deems appropriate when it comes to reducing the budget by the $700 million needed to deal with the failure of the alloy/SEBAC agreement.
In this case, the Malloy Administration claims it was the authority to hit the watch-dog agencies especially hard.
While the focus of CTMirror article is the fate of the watch-dog agencies - with legislators coming to their defense saying that if a concession agreement is reached Governor Malloy should immediately restore funding to these good government programs - the underlying issue is even greater and a far more serious threat to how Connecticut state government functions.
Senator Toni Harp told the CTMirror that the legislature's intent was clear. Governor Malloy DOES NOT have the authority to cut an agency budget by more than 10 percent.
The Office of Policy and Management disagrees and not only claims that it does have the authority but is actually implementing that authority.
In fact, the OPM undersecretary goes on to tell Phaneuf that they are not prepared to say what will happens if the agreement is approved.
His actual quote was "Right now we're dealing with the reality of not having an agreement…We will revisit the budget in light of vacancies, retirements and other things if that has changed."
That leaves us with two critical questions.
(1) Are the Malloy Administration's actions an illegal powers grab or was it an immoral delegation of duty by the General Assembly?
And knowing how government works in Connecticut it seems highly unlikely that the Malloy Administration discovered their new power and utilized it without telling anyone, so
(2) Did the Democratic leaders know the bill they were voting on gave Malloy this incredible power away and they didn't tell their fellow legislators or did the Malloy Administration inform the leaders after the fact that they were interpreting the new law in this absurd and arguably illegal way and the Democratic Leaders remained silent in the face of that power grab.

What a sweet poem. Good work done. This shows that people with great minds are still in existence.
Published: Sep 2010
Mighty Oak
your strength and undying beauty forever amazes me.
Though storm clouds hover above you,
your branches span the sky,
in search of the radiant sunlight you
count on to survive.
When the winds are high and restless and
you lose a limb or two,
it only makes you stronger, we
could learn so much from you.
Though generations have come and gone
and brought about such change,
quietly you've watched them all yet still
remained the same.
I only pray God give to me the strength he's
given you,
to face each day with hope, whether
skies are black or blue,
Life on earth is truly a gift
every moment we must treasure,
it's the simple things we take for granted
that become our ultimate pleasures.

4-H families, alumni, and friends are invited to cheer on the St. Louis Rams at the 2014 4-H Day with the Rams on Sunday, December 21, at the Edward Jones Dome in St. Louis. The Rams will play the New York Giants in a 3:05 p.m. game. There are two ticket packages to choose from. Endzone Terrace tickets are $50 each, or Endzone Field Level seats are $94 each – that is a $15 discount for either seating area. Ticket orders of 10 or more will receive an additional $5 off of each ticket. With each ticket ordered, participants will receive a 4-H Day with the Rams t-shirt, and a chance to win a field pass.
Yes, with each ticket purchased you will have a chance to be one of four people who will receive a Field Pass for the game. Field Pass winners will be allowed in certain areas of the sidelines during pre-game warm-up! Then they will return to their seat for the game.
There are no food and drink vouchers this year, but since this is the last home game of the year all concession prices will be ½ off! There will also be discounts in the Ram's Team Store for those last minute Christmas gifts.

University of Missouri Extension's 4-H educational program empowers young people to reach their full potential while working and learning in partnership with caring adults.

Empowering young people to reach their full potential
4-H brings young people, ages 5 to 19, and adults together to learn everyday skills through hands-on learning. Working on activities from animal and plant sciences to robotics, 4-H'ers learn problem-solving skills that can make a positive impact upon our community. Through 4-H, young people learn to:
4-H clubs are open to ages 8 to 18. Clubs meet monthly for group activities and club business. Each
club elects officers and has an approved adult leader who supervises club activities. Club members also
enroll in projects in their areas of interest.
With projects on more than 75 topics, 4-H has something to interest every child. Here are just a few of the opportunities 4-H offers—geocaching,
robotics, international exchanges, horsemanship, pets, starting a business, arts and crafts, raising animals, woodworking, photography and gardening.
Clover Kids introduces 5- to 7-year-olds to the 4-H experience. In Clover Kids, children
learn how to get along with others, work in groups, explore their interests, while building self-confidence. Clover Kids do not enroll in projects or
raise animals, and do not participate in competitive events, contests or shows.
Joining 4-H is as easy as contacting the extension center. A staff member will explain the enrollment process and membership dues. In addition to dues, some projects
may require a small investment to get started, and there may be a fee for materials, trips or other activities.
Young people are welcome to join at any time. The 4-H program year runs from Sept. 1 to Aug. 31. Certain activities may have participation deadlines.

Missouri 4-H
Clover—A guide to 4-H projects, activities and
publications. It is designed to assist volunteers, members and their
families select projects and activities, and set goals.
Adult volunteers are essential to 4-H. Adult volunteers serve as club or project leaders, help with county or regional events, chair
committees and organize fund raisers. You don't have to be a parent or grandparent of the 4-H member to get involved. All volunteers are
screened for child abuse and neglect, as well criminal records, before they are accepted and each year thereafter. As a volunteer,
University of Missouri Extension will provide you with training so you will be well-prepared and successful as an adult leader. The
orientation includes information on 4-H history and the educational framework, the characteristics of age groups, character development and safety.
