it's more global now and if you can speak well for yourself and play politics you can go far and have a comfortable position. decent packages available and offices are good, even though in the middle of nowhere.Cons
the constant change of focus makes it hard to make a difference + it's a very hierarchic organization where your opinions aren't always appreciated. HR process mostly ridiculous, no subject matter experts part of process. there are quite a few cendant folks around in that know how to play the game and rotate items in order to sit comfortably. this is not helping progress. there's also some nepotism in the hallways these days.Advice to ManagementAdvice
suggest less change and more continuity, more open internal approach, encourage and reward employees for bringing ideas to the table. steve holmes is improving towards wall street, the risk may more be with the lower CEOs, like in hotel group.Doesn't RecommendApproves of CEO

Step into SpeedThru: Potzol's Puzzle, a 3D Aztec-themed action puzzle game that will test your wits and your reactions, available exclusively from Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS. The story goes that the great god of destruction, Kaotl, has stolen the heart of Creatl, the god of creation, and torn the world into three separate parts. You must follow the guidance of Potzol (one of Creatl's most loyal servants) and head out on a puzzle journey to collect hearts, restore Creatl and save the world!
On your adventure you must guide the guardians who take the form of 3D blocks - as they speed through numerous challenging puzzle levels, set across three lands. Every level is like a corridor blocked by a series of walls, each of which has one or more strangely shaped holes, and it's up to you to rotate your guardian, changing its orientation to fit through. You can speed up how fast you're moving, (the faster the better if you want a high score) and the holes in the walls have hearts in them, which you'll need to collect if you want to triumph.
So far, so good, but you'll soon encounter holes that are bigger than your guardian block with loads of hearts in them - how can you collect them all? Well, your block casts a shadow, and when you rotate it over holes in the wall, the shadow remains. If you can rotate it so that the shadow fills the entire hole, then when you whizz on through you'll perform a "TRICK", collecting all of the hearts, even if you're not touching them! You're going to need some serious spatial awareness and quick-thinking to figure out how to get through all the holes, perform TRICKS to max out how many hearts you collect, and get to the next stage as fast as you can!
As well as over 90 stages in the single-player mode, you can throw down Aztec-style against a mate to determine who has the greatest skills. If your friend also has the game, you can take them on via Local Play to try to reach the top of a tower fastest, or dash through a level to see who can hoard the most hearts. You can also play side-by-side with your mate on one console if only one of you has the game: each of you can grab a side of the system and use the buttons there, striving to be the fastest to match ten silhouettes.
Put your reactions and spatial-awareness to the test in SpeedThru: Potzol's Puzzle, a fast-paced puzzle game for Nintendo 3DS, only available via Nintendo eShop. Rotate the guardian blocks so they can pass through the holes, and collect hearts! Over 90 challenging levels to play, set over three different lands. Play with a buddy who also has the game via Local Play, or each take a side of the same console for simultaneous puzzle action!

"I learned so much! Even though I was already teaching your course really made a difference and the comments from my personal tutor made me a much better and more confident teacher. Thank you!" - Sue, an ICAL graduate who took the course when she was teaching in Hong Kong.
Read on for more details on this course...
This course is ideal for you if:
The ICAL TEFL Course 150hr with Practicum will allow you to refine your teaching methods and receive expert feedback on your techniques and overall classroom approach. At the same time it will make you fully TEFL certified.

In order to take this course you will need to be able to video at least 3 of your lessons with the class you are currently teaching in the school where you are working.
If you are not currently teaching an EFL class or group of private students, then the ideal course for you is the ICAL TEFL Course 120hr.
Please note that you can always add the Practicum (Teaching Practice element) to your ICAL TEFL Course 120hr at a later date, if required.
The course includes:
ICAL TEFL Course 150hr with Practicum - Syllabus - full syllabus for the 150hr TEFL course with Practicum

Verona...a pair of star crossed lovers
... about an hour.
The historic area of Verona is a short 20min walk from the stazione. We walk around past the 1st century Roman Arena and along a bit then find 'Casa di Giulietta' in a courtyard off Via Capello. It's right in the middle of the township - a 13th century Gothic style house - a bit touristy and slightly cheesy but ultimately fun and memorable. From the street you enter a small courtyard where there is a bronze statue of ...
... so we didn't set our hopes too high. Fortunately, we were pleasantly surprised. It helped that we did some last minute research that saved us lots of time, money, and frustration.

Venice 04 - the final push...
... across a busy concourse. Canary Wharf Jubilee Line has an elevator. We then travelled to London Bridge where the only elevator was to the exit (street level). The transfer to the Northern Branch Line we found there were never ending flights of steps that had to be negotiated. Our final destination took us to Euston where at least we only had 3 escalators to negotiate to the mainline concourse and then the safety of the Virgin 1st class lounge.
We are homeless again
... but we did find a little elevated train which we reluctantly took for 1.3 Euros. The journey was about a block but made a critical crossing of a canal. What the heck?? The train was the People Mover but in true Italian style, they only identified it at the end (or beginning). Then we discovered we had to board a Vaporetto for 7 Euros to get to San Marco.
It was Friday afternoon and the crowds in San Marco Plaza were ...

Attorney appeals same-sex divorce denial
A same-sex divorce case out of Roane County is heading to the state court of appeals.
Frederick Borman married Larry Pyles-Borman in Iowa back in 2010.
Court documents show the couple separated a year later. Under Iowa law, a couple doesn't have to establish residency to marry within the state, but they must live in the state to be granted a divorce.

To keep an eye on staff, UT dist court installs CCTV cameras
In a first, to keep a constant vigil on the functioning of its court staff, the Chandigarh District Court has installed CCTV cameras in the staff rooms of the court employees. Over 55 such high-resolution CCTV cameras have been installed in the rooms of ahlmad (court staff) and stenographers.
Also, cameras have been installed in all the branches including filing and superintendent branch of UT District Court, Sector 43. More cameras will be installed in the corridors of the new court building keeping in view the safety measures.
However, no CCTV cameras have been installed inside the courtrooms.
The cameras, installed three days back, are capable of retaining the recordings for over two months. "One can access the recording for a period of two months," said a court official. Two separate control rooms have been created to keep an eye on the working of the court staff.
Following receipt of complaints of non-cooperation and not attending to duties by the court staff, surprise visits were paid by a couple of judges of the Punjab and Haryana High Court last year. With the installation of CCTV cameras, the court staff will be under e-surveillance throughout the day. It is for the first time that cameras have been installed inside the staff room of ahlmad and stenographers. This is to check that the judicial records and important files are not perused by people who are not allowed to do so.
Besides staff rooms, cameras will also be installed in the corridors and key places of the District Courts. Keeping in view the security arrangements, the Chandigarh Police two years
back had recommended installation of CCTV cameras and other security equipment in the new building. It was in January last year that the court complex was shifted from Sector 17 to Sector 43 with better facilities including that of video conferencing.

queen palm spacing
hi everyone... i'm planning on planting a couple of queen palms, along my block fence, somewhere in the future. however, i'm a bit confused by how far apart they should be spaced. everything i read says 15' to 25' but when i look at them in local yards there planted about 5' to 10' apart. will there be future problems, when the tree is full grown, if they're planted closer together? i think i know the answer to my next question, but... is it too cool to plant them now? my yards pretty bare still (new construction) and it's easier to plant things while my tortoises are hibernating. thanks, in advance for any advise you have to give.
If I were getting a couple of Queen Plams, this is how I would space them: 1 in Southern California, the other in Florida. You might want to research how these plams do in AZ. Seem to have lots of problems. Best ones I have seen are in grass yards. I like the looks of the Windmill and Bismarck palms as an alternative to our standard Mexican and California Fans.
LOL - I was thinking the exact same thing, Jim!
Port a bella, you might want to plug "palm" into the search engine for this forum - there have been quite a few discussions about different ones that do well here. The Queens are overused despite their marginal performance here. Jim did mention a realllly cool one, the Bismarks (google the image if you haven't seen them).
port_a_bella I'd recommend planting Queen palms in the PHX area from around the last week in February to mid April. In Tucson the best time to plant them is in March and April.
You can plant them as close or as far apart as you desire. When you plant them really close together they'll lean away from one another giving you a more "tropical" look.
Jim in my opinion Trachycarpus fortunei is the worst palm readily available for sale in zone 9 and 10 AZ. Two things that palm hates, extreme heat and sun are two things we have no shortage of from April through October. Queens palms are actually much better suited for PHX and Tucson then the Windmill palm.
Syagrus romanzoffianum can look just as good here in AZ as they can in CA and FL. Now can they look rather crappy here? Certainly. As they can in CA and FL. The biggest thing to maintaining a healthy Queen palm is the care. Most in the PHX area receive the same care as a Washingtonia. To most of the population a palm is a palm is a palm. So they must all get the same care. Weekly deep waterings are much more beneficial them frequent shallow watering. And as Birdlady perfectly stated, "make sure that they get lots of trace elements, they have a tendency to struggle in our soils".
pagancat are you coming around to the dark side? Bismarckias do best when given ample irrigation. I certainly feel that Bismarckias are the most under utilized palm in zone 9 and 10 AZ. And they look great when compliment with a nice dark green Ficus. And certainly nothing says welcome to zone 9 and 10 AZ like subtropicals mixed with cacti and succlents.
I say DON"T do queen palms. They need constant care and fertilizer. I just cut one down and planted an excellent blue yucca tree.
While I took pretty good care of the queen, my neighbor does nothing with their King Palm and it always looks great and my queen looked like crap.
Do the research, there are plenty of palms and yucca trees that do great in Arizona.
don't worry...i'm taking everyones' suggestions and i'm not going with a queen palm. instead i'm thinking that i'll get a ruby x guava tree. i hear that they grow execptionally well out here. plus i love guava juice, and my tortiose will eat it too. thanks.
You won't be sorry with the Ruby X Supreme guava tree. Grows super fast and is a big producer of large, juicy, sweet fruit. They are pretty trees too.
Good luck finding one here though. I had to import mine from California (where I am from and visit frequently anyway so no big deal). Two years no problems.
Tropica Mango on Baseline is hit and miss on inventory here. Give them a try if you still need to source a tree though.
Home of the tropical fruit tree nurseries!
California Tropical Fruit tree nursery and Exotica are two I go to.
There are several others in the area that you can drive right by and find stuff there. Your brother will know where.
I'm pretty much 'planted out' and can't fit anything else.
Good luck!
thanks... i was there a month ago and had a serious case of garden envy. that's when i first considered the guava tree for my yard. i was tempted to bring one home with me, but i knew that it's not the right time of the year to plant one. i can't wait for spring to get here...

"... no.... must resist... not.. the dark side!!!"
Geez, Lee, and you just had to put it next to a Ficus, too!>shudderI must say, your pics show some of the best looking Queen Palms that I've ever seen.... it just doesn't seem to happen like that up here. Are they heat sensitive, or is it just the lack of micronutrients that make them look so bad?
I'll chime in on your inquiry. Our alkaline soil is not great for Queens, not to mention our lack of humidity and dry winds, which is something you already are well aware of IÂm sure, BUT:
Most people don't water queen palms enough, and they require small monthly applications of a well balanced fertilizer with micro nutrients to look the best. I use OrganoPro. They would also appreciate a nice mulch, but not stacked up the base of the trunk! Cuts down on watering and improves the soil over time (need to keep adding regular applications of mulch as it breaks down).
How many times have you seen Queen Palms planted on hot gravel yards? Nope, not a good idea if you want them to look good or if you don't mind working a lot harder than you have to (or should).
I don't grow Queens; I dislike them (just my personal taste, or maybe lack thereof). However, the recipe above is good for most palms from tropical/semi-tropical areas.
Washies of course are tough as nails (weeds) and are a different subject altogether.
You mentioned your neighbor has a King Palm? Archontophoenix Cunninghamiana or Archontophoenix Alexandrae? Common names can be decieving but if he has a King Palm I would be interested to see a picture.
I would expect that it is shaded by a large tree and eastern exposure at that for sun, frost protection and protection from dry dessicating winds.
Common names can be decieving but if he has a King Palm I would be interested to see a picture if you wouldn't mind. That is a tough choice to try and grow here but if he's been successful that's pretty cool.
Haha, I like the CA and Florida joke... I have been through this one for years and years. Both in the nursery environment and in the landscape design/installation. The way I see it, there are 2 real alternatives to Queen Palms:
Phoenix Dactylifera and Mexican Fans. Dactylifera are very pricey to get some with any size but they are very reliable, elegant, and fit much better to the desert. Mexican Fans are a lot less expensive but will not stop growing ! They also don't have quite the canopy of Queens or Date palms. Queens are just a bit risk. Besides just the nutrients, excessive water usage, etc. they get a fungus which spread through neighborhoods and is a real pain to distinguish. Also, Queen Palms only have a healthy life expectancy of 15-25 years in most cases. If you are looking long term and want some nice shady palms, it may be worth investing in the Date Palms. Bismark Palms are great, we use them a lot, but they take a while to get the lazy/shady size and lack the greenery look that people are going for with the Queens
. If you calculate the cost of a few Dactylifera over 10-20 years - and the QUeens. With all the water costs and fertilizers, and replacements, fungacides, etc etc. It makes a lot more sense here in the desert.

IRL art production and .jpg economy as the out of sync video leaving a physical object as ephemera. Microblogging going macro, a misstep into the poetics of digital space, 'the feed' or 'stream' as anthology."

FOX Sports Exclusive
Key calls determined Big Ten title game
Wisconsin-Michigan State, the rematch, was definitely the clear-cut, undisputed champion of Championship Weekend.
ASK MIKEOur football refereeing guru is on Twitter and takes your questions during live events. See his latest tweets and his latest analysis.
The Spartans defeated the to-that-point-unbeaten Badgers on a Hail Mary back on the final play of the game on Oct. 22. Saturday night on FOX, they played another masterpiece in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game.
Once again it came down to the closing minutes, but this time Wisconsin won, 42-39. And like the Hail Mary play, in which a lengthy review was needed to confirm whether the ball broke the plane of the end zone, Saturday night's game came down to a late call by the official.
The Badgers, holding a 42-39 lead with 1:37 left, were facing a fourth down and 3 at their own 26-yard line, the Spartans eager to get the ball back. Wisconsin's Brad Nortman punted the ball away, but Michigan State's Isaiah Lewis was called for running into the punter, which gave Wisconsin five yards and a first down. The Badgers then ran out the clock.
You hate to see a game end like that, but it was clearly running into the punter and definitely a good call by referee Bill LeMonnier.
The kicker is protected from any and all contact, and it's the severity of the contact which determines whether it is roughing or running into the kicker. Replays showed there was clearly contact and, although Lewis was being blocked, it did not significantly change his direction. If it would have, it wouldn't have been a foul.
Another play I want to break down also took place late in the fourth quarter, and also went against Michigan State. But again, it was the correct call.
Here was the situation:
Michigan State had the ball, third-and 8 at the Spartans' 39 with 3:05 left in the game. Wisconsin was leading 42-39. Michigan State quarterback Kirk Cousins completed a 26-yard pass to Keshawn Martin on the sideline that was ruled a catch on the field. After an officials' review, the play was reversed to an incomplete pass and the Spartans were forced to punt.
This was an incomplete pass for two reasons: First, they ruled Martin's toe was down on the sideline, which made the pass incomplete. Second, even if the toe was in bounds, they would have changed the ruling to incomplete because Martin lost possession of the ball when he hit the ground out of bounds. This automatically would have made the pass incomplete because Martin was touching a loose ball while being out of bounds and before he completed the process of making the catch.
Yes fans, the process of the catch applies to college football, also.
Here are a few other calls worth noting during the Big Ten Championship Game:
The situation: Wisconsin had the ball, third-and-2 at the Michigan State 41 with 4:59 left in the first quarter. The score was tied 7-7.
The play: Wisconsin's Montee Ball took a handoff from quarterback Russell Wilson then passed it back to Wilson for 32 yards to the Michigan State 9-yard line.
My take: This is another one of the rule differences between college and the NFL. In college, a quarterback lined up under center is considered an eligible receiver; therefore, Wilson legally was downfield prior to the pass and legally touched the ball. In the NFL, in order to run that play legally, the quarterback would have to start in the shotgun formation. I like the college rule better. It gives us another exciting play.
BIG TEN ACTIONHave a look at the best Big Ten title game photos right here.
The situation: After a great scoring play by the Spartans in which Kirk Cousins passed to Keith Nichol, who lateralled the ball to B.J. Cunningham for seven yards and a score, Michigan State was attempting the PAT, trailing 21-20.
The play: Michigan State faked the PAT kick, and holder Brad Sonntag rushed the ball in for a successful 2-point conversation.
My take: My Twitter followers have been asking about this all year long. The holder of the kick may get possession of the ball with his knee on the ground and then get up and run or pass as long as there is a kicker in position behind the holder at the snap or if the kicker simulates kicking the ball. Remember Lucy from Charlie Brown? After playing a trick on Charlie Brown by lifting the ball off the ground when Charlie was trying to kick it, Lucy could have gotten up and advanced the ball the same way Sonntag did for Michigan State.
And here a few key plays from the other games on Saturday:
The game: Virginia Tech vs. Clemson (ACC Championship Game)
The situation: Virginia Tech had the ball, third-and-13 at the Hokies' 48 with 3:45 left in the third quarter. Clemson led 31-10.
The play: Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas completed a 29-yard pass to Jarrett Boykin to the Clemson 23-yard line. A pass interference penalty was called on Clemson's Coty Sensabaugh; Boykin was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for spiking the ball because he thought the referee hadn't called the interference. The pass interference penalty was declined, but the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was enforced, giving the Hokies a first-and-25 at the Clemson 38.
My take: In the NFL, when live ball fouls combine with dead ball fouls, the penalties offset. Not the case in college football. Both penalties are enforced. In this case, the pass interference penalty was declined because the ball was caught with a gain of more than 15 yards, then the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was enforced. This another one of the rules differences from Saturday to Sunday.
SEC ACTIONHave a look at the best SEC title game photos right here.
The game: Georgia vs. LSU (SEC Championship Game)
The situation: Georgia had the ball, fourth-and-20 at the Bulldogs' 3 with 6:08 left in the second quarter. Georgia led 10-0.
The play: Georgia's Drew Butler punted the ball 59 yards to the LSU 38, and Tyrann Mathieu returned the ball 62 yards for a touchdown.
My take: At first glance, this looked like a touchdown. However, CBS showed a down-the-goal-line replay several minutes after Mathieu scored. In slow motion you could clearly see that Mathieu tossed the ball to the referee prior to the ball breaking the plane. The ball left his hand inside the 1-yard line and touched the line judge's right arm, which was actually in the end zone. Rule 2, Section 19, Article 2 states: ``A pass is thrown forward if the ball strikes the ground, a player, an official or anything else beyond the spot where the ball is released.'' This then became an illegal forward pass, since it occurred after a change of possession. The penalty is five yards from the spot of the pass, therefore, this should have been LSU's ball, first and goal from the 6. Some of my Twitter followers asked why the replay official didn't stop this. But nobody noticed this until CBS showed the down-the-line shot.
WEEK 14 ACTIONLooking for Week 14 photos? We've got the best shots right here.
The situation: Texas had the ball, third-and-2 at the Baylor 8 with 11:05 left in the fourth quarter. Baylor led 41-24.
The play: Texas' Cody Johnson rushed the ball for two yards but fumbled it as he was going to the ground. It was recovered by Baylor's Ahmad Dixon. After an officials review, the play stood as called, giving the Bears the ball at their 12.
My take: I love it when the referee says the ruling on the field STANDS. That's a lot better than reversing a call without indisputable video evidence. You look at this play and you could make a case either way — that it was a fumble or that the runner was down — it was that close. The ball looked like it was just starting to come out when Johnson's knees first touched down. It's that close, even in slow motion. Leave it in the hands of the on-field officials when it's that close.
ACC ACTIONHave a look at the best ACC title game photos right here.
The game: Virginia Tech vs. Clemson (ACC Championship Game)
The situation: Clemson had the ball, fourth-and-12 at the Tigers' 32 with 5:04 left in the second quarter. Clemson led 10-7.
The play: Virginia Tech's James Hopper was called for roughing the kicker on Clemson punter Dawson Zimmerman and the Tigers were awarded a first down at their 47-yard line. The replay official initiated a review to see if Hopper touched the ball, but after the review, the play stood as called.
My take: Running or roughing into the kicker is not to be called if the player who makes contact with the kicker touches the kick before the contact occurs. Under replay rules, touching of the kick is reviewable; therefore, when reviewing the play, if you have indisputable video evidence that the ball was touched, the flag is to be picked up. In this case, the replay official did not feel that there was enough video evidence to reverse the call made by the referee.

Fatal Crash Snarls Traffic In Fort Worth
FORT WORTH (CBSDFW.COM) - A car crash in Fort Worth on Thursday morning left one person dead and another person hurt, and shut down a major roadway just before rush hour traffic.
The crash happened at about 5:15 a.m. in the northbound lanes of the South Freeway, just south of Seminary Drive. MedStar officials at the scene said that a white four-door car rolled over, and Sharron Neal with the Fort Worth Police Department said that the car had struck a pedestrian.
The pedestrian was found dead in the middle of the highway. The driver of the car was injured during the crash and taken to a nearby hospital. The driver is expected to be okay.
Police closed the freeway at Ripy Street and forced all traffic onto the access road. The Texas Department of Transportation said that the roadway would be shut down throughout most of the morning.
Officials have not yet said what may have caused this crash, or how many vehicles were involved.

Lightbulbs banned by new law ?
Went to pick up some 75W R20, etc etc. Guy on the counter advised there was some new law intact that various light bulbs of various wattages are not allowed to be sold anymore. What gives. Anyone care to shed some light or more info on this so called new law ?
google "incandescent bulb phase out". Supposed to happen over the next couple years, and local areas may pass laws to speed it up.
On another note, last year a guy at Home Depot in electrical told me they were selling off their remaining stock of T12 fluorescent fixtures and moving to ones with thinner tubes (T8 etc). Probably similar thing will happen with the incandescent bulbs, it'll take time but it will happen.
Incandescent isn't being phased out strictly. The Tungsten-Halogen bulbs meet the efficiency requirement. 90% of the uses can deal with CFL's which are way better than the even the new law requires. Hopefully, the woeful quality of the CFL's will improve with more demand/production.
California not only phased out the bulbs, they require you to install fixtures in many places that you can't even stick an old-style bulb into.
Problems with CFLs that are often overlooked. The law makers don't see the repercusions of their acts. They only see let's go green.
Don't work with standard dimmers.
Don't work with timers that don't have a neutral in the box(switch loops). They flicker when off.
Don't work with many motion sensors.
Poor performance in cold.
Don't fit many fixtures.
As someone mentioned one of my complaints about CFL's is quality. I picked up, I think the brand was NeoVision, at Home Depot. It was the only CFL they had that was the "equivalent" of 150 watt incandescent because I had intended to use it as a reading lamp. The thing buzzed horribly.
My other big complaint is the lack of consistent information about color temperature. I've seen lamps labeled cool white, warm white, daylight, and "craft" without necessarily a corresponding number.
Again, if you buy lamps at the borgs you're going to get crap.
Go to one of the internet suppliers (I already listed the one I deal with) to get a better quality of CFL ballast and color temperatures and better color temperature selection. My wife uses 85W (that's 300W equiv) full spectrum bulbs for her (legal I swear) grow operation.

Round Up the Usual Suspects: The Making of "Casablanca" - Bogart, Bergman, and World War II
Hyperion, Dec 1, 1993 - Performing Arts - 416 pages
It is 50 years since "Casablanca" opened up in America. Little did Humphrey Bogart know when he uttered the final line - "This could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship" - that he had just closed what would be one of the most enduring and popular movies ever. Aljean Harmetz believes that "every movie is a creature built from accidents and blind choices - a mechanical monster constructed of camera angles, the chemistry between actors, too little money or too much and a thousand unintended moments". Her portrait of the making of an unmatched classic reveals some of the accidents: how the stars of the movie almost weren't Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman; how "As Time Goes By" nearly didn't make it to the final cut.

Calling all creators, hackers, artists and thinkers. If you are ready to ask the big questions, to work to make technology better, let's make it happen together.
Microsoft is in the midst of an exciting change. It's a big moment in our story, and we want you to be part of it. Come challenge convention. Come make, break and rewrite the rules.
Here, interviews are a two-way street. We want to get to know you, but we also want to be sure you walk away knowing us, too.
If you're like most students we talk to, you want to know what to expect during your interviews and what we're looking for in you. Here, interviews are a two-way street. We want to get to know you, but we also want to be sure you walk away knowing us, too.
We know you've honed your resume to a fine polish. Still, these tips may just provide the extra assistance you need to put your best foot forward.
Will you find the right mix of satisfying work, great projects and exciting challenges at Microsoft? Do you have the drive and determination to help us succeed? That's what our interview process is designed to find out.
Planning to apply for a Microsoft internship or full-time role? Over the past few weeks we've asked you on Twitter and Facebook to share what you would like to ask a university recruiter. We've taken your queries straight to our experts, below you will find answers to some of your most frequently asked questions:
Q: When do you accept applications for internships?
Q: What is the most common mistake you see applicants make?
A: For University Recruiter Anthony Rotoli, it's the key details that people seem to forget most often: "It's simple really, but leaving your graduation date, or other important information (phone number, email) off of your resume. Graduation date is very important for us to get a sense of about how far along you should be in school. Contact information is important for…well…us contacting you!"
Beyond the initial application process, Anthony notes that candidates can sometimes block their own path to success. His advice to avoid this? Be yourself: "Applicants will sometimes approach the interview process with what they think an interviewer wants to hear, and they'll try to make sure they fit the mold they've imagined we're looking for. Bad mistake! The best thing you can show us during interviews is the real you. I always encourage folks to approach each interview like a discussion with a current co-worker or teammate. Don't try to demonstrate some skill you have only a rudimentary understanding of – talk about what you know, and let your passion shine through!"
Q: I live outside of the United States, but I want to intern in Redmond. Can I still apply?
A: "Yes you can, and we look forward to reviewing your application! Get started by visiting our University Careers Site." – University Recruiter Sarah Bruch
Q: How can I follow up on the status or progress of my application?
A: There are a couple of ways to follow up on your application throughout the recruiting process. If you have recently submitted an application, University Recruiter Raquel Garcia suggests, "email your local recruiter, but keep in mind that we receive a high volume of resumes/inquires, especially during the fall recruiting season and so it might take us a bit to respond. If you've already gone through a formal on-site interview, follow up with the recruiter who you're working with, this is the person who you met with on the Microsoft campus."
If you've submitted your application and are waiting to hear from us – rest assured that our recruiters are working hard to find the right fit. As Raquel notes, "We accept resumes for the entire year and keep them on file, and only reach out when we believe we have a good fit based on your interests/qualifications and our business needs."
Q: I missed you on campus, what is the best way to get in touch with a recruiter?
A: Our recruiters would love to hear from you! University Recruiter Jeff D'Andria explains how to get in touch: "I suggest finding your recruiter's information and email on our University Careers Site. We're happy to help and are looking forward to meeting you."

Scholars, politicians call for Asian trust
Publication Date : 30-05-2014
Leading politicians and scholars on Thursday called on Asian states to strive harder to foster mutual trust, peace and stability, which have been undermined by intensifying geopolitical rivalries and threats from nuclear-ambitious North Korea.
Former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and other high-profile figures made opening addresses at the ninth Jeju Forum for Peace and Prosperity, expressing concerns over escalating territorial disputes in the South China Sea and the unpredictable regime in Pyongyang.
Under the theme "Designing New Asia", the three-day conference brought together some 3,600 experts, government officials and politicians from more than 50 countries to discuss security, education, culture, the environment and other issues.
Outlining a host of geopolitical challenges facing Asia, Gillard said that Pyongyang's unpredictability and ambition for nuclear arms were one of the biggest hurdles to regional efforts to chart a "better, more secure and more prosperous future".
"The new leader Kim Jong-un comes across as both dangerous and erratic. We do not know the limits of what he is capable of doing, from brutalizing his own people, to murdering his opponents, to developing his nuclear weapons," she said.
Gillard argued that to face such a regime, the international community should stay "vigilant and resolute" to meet whatever could emerge from the provocative state.
"We do not know what he will do, but we have to be prepared for every contingency including the possibility of change within North Korea itself," she said. "If the events of this century so far teach us anything, it is that even the most apparently entrenched regimes can fall quickly and with little warning. The so-called Arab Spring has shown us that."
Along with North Korean threats, the former prime minister also pointed to China's rise and escalating territorial rows in the South China Sea.
"The anxiety in the many diplomatic engagements about the South China Sea demonstrates that tension is at another level. But it is those diplomatic dialogues, bilaterally and through important multilateral forums like the East Asia Summit, that must be our focus," she said.
Former Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing underscored the importance of peace and stability in maintaining the region's economic prosperity. But he stressed Beijing's resolve to uphold China's territorial sovereignty.
"On the issue of the Diaoyu Islands (Senkaku in Japanese), China's activities in the area are an entirely legitimate exercise of its sovereignty and jurisdiction on these islands, and should not be seen as an attempt to change the status quo," he said in his opening address.
"It is our hope that relevant countries do not over-interpret and overreact to our legitimate actions. China stands ready to work with other countries in Asia to build a peaceful, prosperous and open Asia and uphold peace, stability and tranquility in Asia by continuously enhancing political mutual trust."
In his welcoming speech, Gong Ro-myung, the chairman of the East Asia Foundation, expressed hopes that the Jeju forum would serve as a crucial conduit through which scholars and world leaders could explore viable ways to create a "new Asia."
The annual forum consists of some 60 sessions on an array of issues including the future role of women, regional security cooperation, education, the environment and public diplomacy.
The joint organizers of the forum include Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, the International Peace Foundation and the East Asia Foundation.
The forum was launched in 2001 with the aim of reaching the status of the Davos Forum, an annual gathering of global political and business elites to discuss the most pressing issues facing the world.
