Geographer: Educational Requirements to Start a Career in Geography
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a geographer. Get a quick overview of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and average salary to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Geographers examine and document the physical and social properties of a location. Many conduct studies that examine how people use land for purposes such as urban development. Other geographers analyze how certain social factors relate to different physical locations. Some workers only focus on physical geography fields, such as ecology or climatology. A bachelor's degree program may prepare individuals for lower-level positions, but a master's degree in geography is needed for many geographer positions.
|Required Education
|Master's degree; bachelor's degree acceptable for some entry-level positions
|Other Requirements
|Training in geographic information systems
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)*
|Average Salary (2013)*

Geographer Educational Requirements
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) classifies geographers as a type of social scientist because geographic studies often focus on societal populations within physical locations (www.bls.gov). BLS records indicate that most social scientist careers required a graduate degree, although some lower-level positions, such as assistant researchers or analysts, may only require a bachelor's degree. Since the two main fields of geography include cultural and physical geography, students may want to choose graduate programs that focus on one of these areas.
The BLS reported in that jobs for geographers are expected to increase 29% between 2012 and 2022. BLS data from May 2013 shows that the salary for all U.S geographers averaged $75,070, with the highest-paid geographers working in scientific research and development.
Cultural Geographers
Workers in the field of cultural geography examine cultural factors within specific geographic locations, such as economic growth, transportation, political affiliations and urban development. Coursework related to the cultural side of geography includes social systems, cultural ecology, global studies and population statistics. Geography graduate students often choose a specific focus area within their programs. For example, a student who wants to specialize in cultural geography related to healthcare may choose classes like medical geography, ethnic populations or community development.
Physical Geographers
Individuals in the physical geography field often focus on topics related to environmental issues, land formations, water resources and animal habitats. Graduate degree programs cover courses, such as regional changes, land development, sustainability and cartography. Some institutions provide students with concentration options that focus on physical geography subfields, including climatology, natural resource studies and geomorphology.
Core Coursework
Although students can specialize in areas of physical and cultural geography, certain core classes are required by most geography graduate programs. Technology courses, for instance, have become more important for geography graduate students since most data is gathered remotely through global positioning systems and geographic information systems. Other core geography classes include qualitative research techniques, geographical statistics and geography analysis. Graduate-level programs in geography often require students to complete a thesis, project or dissertation, and some programs may require students to complete internships with experienced geography researchers.

Food So So, Portion SmallPosted on 01 / 01 / 2014
Ordered curry chicken rice, they used baba curry powder to cook, heavy curry powder smell, was hoping like japanese curry rice standard but wasnt. The other was kou rou bento rice. Taste avg. The kou rou was herbal braised soup. Not any taste of braised sauce. The sotong ball was very small, should have got the bigger ball. Lastly the peking duck was quite a disappointment for the price of $15.90. Used huang jin duck and merely cut 8 piece mini size and not cut properly, carrots and cucumbers are thick in sliced. Sweet sauce is alright, but seriously price should match with the portion and standard.

Sorry Paula, Opposites Do Not Attract!
24 years ago Paula Abdul had a hit record with the song "Opposites Attract." But since nobody is lining up to give Abdul a Nobel Prize for brains, is there any truth to the old adage that opposites attract? Research says – not really.
In fact, Paula may want to pen a sequel because just the opposite is true.
It turns out most of us actually seek out people who think and act like we do. A study by the National Academy of Sciences found that people who considered themselves attractive wanted a similarly attractive partner. If they considered themselves wealthy – they were NOT yearning for someone poor.

SEATTLE You ve probably heard coaches say they don t care about rankings, and take wins one game at a time.
But for University of Washington Head Football Coach Steve Sarkisian and WSU's Mike Leach, every win this year could mean big bucks.
KING5 obtained Sarkisian s contract, as well as WSU s Leach, through a public disclosure request.The two men are the highest paid state employees, and have lucrative perks as well.
Sarkisian is in the third year of a five year deal signed back on January 21st of 2011.
It shows the Dawgs top man has an incentive to break through the seven win barrier.The Huskies have finished with seven wins the last three seasons.They are 5-3 during the 2013 campaign.
The contract gives Sarkisian a $50,000 bonus if he gets 8 wins this year, and a $75,000 bonus if the Huskies were to win out and get to the 9 win plateau.He could have received a $150,000 bonus if the team was to win 12 games.
Those bonuses are on top of an already guaranteed $2,400,000 in compensation for the 2013 season.Sarkisian gets a base salary of $420,000, and $700,000 regular media compensation .The contract also calls for Sarkisian to make a minimum of three personal appearances of behalf of Nike and additional appearances for other sponsors.Nike founder Phil Knight is a big supporter of UW s rival Oregon Duck football program. Sarkisian s deal calls for him to get $650,000 for those personal appearances, and another $630,000 for speaking and other representation.
There are other perks:
The UW gives Sarkisian a housing allowance of $150,000 a year, and pays the cost of family travel to away games. The contract also calls for the UW to provide Sarkisian two courtesy cars, membership in the Seattle Yacht Club, and another country club if he so desires.
Sarkisian s deal calls for him to get a $150,000 bonus if the team plays in a Non-BCS bowl game.He received the bonus last year after the Huskies played in the Las Vegas Bowl.He would earn as much as $500,000 if UW won the national championship.
The Coach is also due a bonus if the team is ranked in the Top 20 of the final BCS Standings.The Huskies were in contention for that designation earlier in the season.If the team finished there, he would receive another $50,000 bonus.It bumps to $75,000 for a Top 15 ranking, and $100,000 for the TopTen.If he s Pac-12 coach of the year, UW pays him another $25,000.
There are academic incentives as well.Sarkisian would be paid $125,000 if the graduation rate for his team is equal to or greater than 80%.He would receive another $125,000 if the Academic Progress Rate hits 970.
There has been rampant speculation that Sarkisian, who coached at USC, could be a candidate for their head coaching position, or potentially a position in the NFL.The contract stipulates, that if after this year, he was to leave UW, Sarkisian would have to pay the University $1,500,000.The number drops by half a million dollars each consective year of the deal.
The UW s Assistant Coach, and Defensive Coordinator Justin Wilcox is also highly compensated for his duties.
Wilcox, who was credited with improving the UW defense last season, signed a one year extension in March of this year, according to documents furnished by the University.He ll be paid just over $800,000 this season.
Wilcox gets a $10,000 bonus for an Alamo or Holiday Bowl appearance, and $25,000 for winning a national championship.
He also gets a Courtesy Car and Country Club Membership.Wilcox would not have to pay the UW a dime if he was to leave for a Head Coaching position elsewhere.
Washington State University signed Mike Leach to its most lucrative deal ever, back in October of last year, according to documents released by WSU.
WSU agreed to pay Leach a base salary of $2,000,000, another $100,000 for media compensation and another $150,000 for appearances and consultation. But Leach gets more than just that $2,250,000 a year.
WSU agreed to provide him first class business upgrades when he travels.
Leach also gets two donated vehicles on a loan basis, or a stipend for cars of up to $6,200 a year.WSU also agreed to provide Leach with a 18-seat Suite, plus an additional 20 tickets to each home game.Leach gets 150 tickets for all away games.WSU also pays for a club membership.
WSU agreed to pay Leach $25,000 bonus for an Apple Cup win, and he was awarded that last season.Washington State also agreed to pay bonuses to Leach for a Non-BCS Bowl Game ($75,000), and at least $50,000 for a top 25 finish.The University, unlike UW, only agreed to a small bonus of $25,000 if the team finishes Top in the Pac 12 in Academic Achievement.Leach would have to pay $1,800,000 if he was to leave WSU before the end of the year.The number drops to $1,350,000 after the 1st of the year.
The salaries are paid for by athletic department revenues, and do not come out of University general funds. The Pac-12's television contract, signed last year, guaranteed member schools at least $21 million dollars a year.Both UW and WSUhave used some of the money to help fund stadium renovations.

WILKES-BARRE â?? By covering up the deadly accidental shooting of 14-year-old Tyler Winstead, a mother and son prolonged the pain for his family, cost investigators valuable time and money and possibly added to their own punishment, Luzerne County District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis said Friday.
The alleged lies and cover-up by Angelina DeAbreu, 30, and Elijah Yusiff, 14, also resulted in an unsettled community, Salavantis explained.
â??It would be a very different outcome if they came forward that night and said â??This was an accident, two kids playing around,â??â?ť Salavantis said. â??It would have reduced a lot of pain, especially for the family of Tyler Winstead, who have been sitting back patiently trying to figure out what happened to their son.â?ť
Salavantis spoke out after DeAbreu surrendered on charges of tampering with evidence, giving false information to investigators and corrupting a minor. She was arraigned by District Judge Rick Cronauer in Wilkes-Barre and was released on $2,500 unsecured bail.
Investigators said Winstead was shot on April 5 inside DeAbreuâ??s house at 117 Hill St. when Yusiff removed a .22-caliber revolver from a book-shaped case. Winstead was sitting on a bed in DeAbreuâ??s bedroom when Yusiff turned with his finger on the trigger, according to the criminal complaint filed against DeAbreu.
The gun discharged and a bullet struck Winstead in the chest, killing the Wilkes-Barre Area GAR Junior/Senior High School honor student.
After the shooting, Yusiff told investigators and reporters Winstead was shot outside by a man who drove away in a red Ford, the complaint says
Court records allege DeAbreu hid the firearm and Yusiff hid the shell casing in a pile of scrap metal behind 119 Hill St., where Winsteadâ??s legal guardians and grandparents, Willie and Carol Golden, reside.
Salavantis said the firearm has not been recovered.
â??This was a terrible accident,â?ť DeAbreuâ??s attorney, Thomas Marsilio, said. â??Our hearts and prayers go out to the family of Tyler Winstead. Angelina of course is very sorry for what had occurred. She made some errors as far as judgment is concerned, and she is now answering to those errors in judgment through the criminal procedure.â?ť
Yusiff was charged with an undisclosed offense in May. Due to his age, Salavantis said state law prohibits her from discussing the case against him.
Yusiff is identified in the criminal complaint filed against DeAbreu as â??Juvenile one.â?ť
Salavantis said Yusiffâ??s claim that Winstead was gunned down in a drive-by shooting caused a large waste of assets and resulted in a community in fear of a gunman that didnâ??t exist.
â??It was a huge distraction and it took days of resources away from my office and the Wilkes-Barre Police Department,â?ť Salavantis said. â??Youâ??re talking about a lot of time and money that went to trying to find a car in a drive-by, not to mention the community that was so distressed over this. When you hear a 14-year-old boy has been shot and killed in Wilkes-Barre because some random person shot him, it was devastating on the entire community.â?ť
Salavantis said investigators began to question the stories by DeAbreu and Yusiff after only a few days.
â??After a couple of days of getting witnesses and talking to people, we realized something was not right,â?ť the district attorney said. â??While we are doing the investigation, we realized she did conceal evidence that would have led us to finding out what happened that caused a young man to lose his life.â?ť
Salavantis said the unfortunate death of Winstead should be a lesson for other gun owners to secure their firearms away from children.
DeAbreu waived the misdemeanor charges to county court, making a preliminary hearing unnecessary.
A formal arraignment is scheduled on Nov. 2 in county court.

text: Members of the Shawnee Labor Council gathered with local officials and community supporters Saturday in the garage of the Portsmouth Fire Department on Gallia Street to make their voices heard in opposition of Senate Bill 5.The GOP-backed measure that would restrict the collective bargaining rights of about 350,000 teachers, firefighters, police officers and other public employees squeaked through the state Senate on a 17-16 vote. Six Republicans sided with Democrats against the measure. The bill now heads for consideration in the Republican-controlled Ohio House of Representatives.We have a representative now in Terry Johnson and we want to make sure he goes up there and fights for the people of southern Ohio, said Austin Keyser, business manager of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers No. 575, and secretary general of the Shawnee Labor Council.State Rep. Johnson, R-89, told the Daily Times earlier this week that he doesnt know yet what the bill will look like when it comes to a vote in the House of Representatives, but he cited job creation as one of his biggest goals in office and said he supports union workers.Keyer said Johnson said he would not support the bill in its current form, but Keyser and the Shawnee Labor Council want the bill, in any form, killed. He called the bill an assault on the working people of southern Ohio. Keyser said he has an appointment to meet with Johnson this week.We want to know where he stands. Theres a dark line here and youre either on one side or youre on the other. This isnt a position that you can take a grey area on, Keyser said.The fire station garage was packed-full of people Saturday, waving signs that read Kill the Bill, and likening the legislation to Nazi Germany and Gov. John Kasich (whom they called Kay-Suck) to Hitler. Shouting through a megaphone from atop a picnic table, Keyser told the crowd how Kasich was paid $50,000 for 36 hours of public speaking at The Ohio State University.Thats almost $1,400 an hour, and then he says that school teachers and college professors that do it full-time everyday are worth nothing. That they deserve to be cut back a notch. I mean, that money came from a public university. Where does he think that money came from? Thats taxpayer dollars. Why is he worth so much more than you are? Keyser prompted.He said Kasich also gave raises of an average of $40,000 a year to members of his inner circle. He accused the governor of bringing his arrogant CEO persona to the statehouse.Big bonuses and big pay hikes for the people at the top, and how are they going to pay for it? Theyre going to cut the people at the bottom, Keyser said. Its the same concept we see in the private sector. Its the same thing that the private sector is fighting against, and hes bringing that here.Members of Portsmouth City Council last week voted 5-1 to support collective bargaining with a local resolution. Councilmen John Haas, Rich Saddler, and City Solicitor Mike Jones also participated in the rally to read the resolution. Haas called the bill an attack on the middle class of Ohio.We want to send a message to Gov. Kasich that we believe our union workers, our city workers, police and fire and teachers, all deserve a decent wage and benefits. We respect the job that teachers do teaching our kids, and police and fire protecting our kids, he said.Shawnee State University Faculty Senate President Dr. Chip Piorot also read the Faculty Senates resolution regarding Senate Bill 5.

Keith Urban Joins Rolling Stones Onstage in Los Angeles
Keith Urban had a real rock star moment at the Rolling Stones concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last night (May 3).
Keith Urban had a real rock star moment at the Rolling Stones concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last night (May 3).
Even though Keith Urban has only been a judge on 'American Idol' for one season, which is winding down as we speak, his quiet and kind demeanor has already made him a fan favorite.
Keith Urban showed the current crop of contestants how it's done in the big leagues with a high-energy performance of 'Long Hot Summer' on 'American Idol' Thursday night (March 28).
Keith Urban has announced the second leg of his 2013 Light the Fuse Tour via a fun collection of live video clips. You get a real sense of what life is like on the road with the singer, guitarist and 'American Idol' judge, thanks to this two-minute series which features plenty of moments of both backstage and onstage revelry.
When Keith Urban's 2013 headlining tour kicks off this summer, he will be spending lots of quality time on the road with country quartet Little Big Town. With all that traveling together, there may be a hit collaboration in the making...or at least, that's what the 'You Gonna Fly' singer hopes.
Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman take marriage seriously, and they're not going to limit themselves to saying 'I do' to each other just 'Once in a Lifetime.' In fact, the superstar couple is planning to renew their wedding vows in Australia this June, at the site where they first said tied the knot.
Tim McGaw's 'Superstar Summer Night' is shaping up to be one star-studded event, thanks to a continually evolving lineup. New additions to the already all-star lineup include Keith Urban, Dierks Bentley and Lady Antebellum. But it's not just country acts that are going to rock out with McGraw. Pitbull, the Cuban pop star known for his addictive Latin dance jams and 'hip-pop' tracks, is also newly slated to perform.
Singer Lazaro Arbos performed the Keith Urban song 'Tonight I Wanna Cry' on 'American Idol' Thursday night (Feb. 28), earning a mixed opinion from the judges.
Keith Urban and his A-list actress wife Nicole Kidman dressed up for the biggest night in cinema and absolutely sparkled on the Oscars red carpet on Sunday night (Feb. 24). As you can see from this gallery of pictures, the two looked confident, comfortable and very much in love as they made their way through the photographers gallery to their seats inside the Dolby Theater in Hollywood.
While Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift's vocals on 'Highway Don't Care' would be enough to make the song a hit and one of the best of 2013, it's Keith Urban's guitar that makes the track one of the best collaborations of the decade -- maybe even ever. Each artist brings his or her best effort to the song from McGraw's 'Two Lanes of Freedom' album. It's a sterling example of what can happen when artists are left to be artists, without the handcuffs of music business politics.
25-year-old country singer Jimmy Smith sang the Keith Urban hit 'Raining On Sunday' on 'American Idol' Thursday night (Feb. 21), delivering a performance that left the judges mostly unimpressed.
Keith Urban certainly has his hands full with his fellow Season 12 'American Idol' judges, those dueling divas known as Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. But according to the country superstar's wife, Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, the 'For You' singer is actually very fond of the strong-willed women.

The Moon is shrinking.
In making the announcement, scientists were quick to add that the Moon has not shrunk by much, that the shrinking may have occurred over a billion years, and that the Moon will not shrink out of view in the future.
"The kind of radius change and shrinking we're describing here is so small that you would never notice it," said Thomas R. Watters of the Centre for Earth and Planetary Studies at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, during a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)-sponsored telephone news conference on Wednesday. Watters and his colleagues deduced the Moon's diminishing size from cracks on the surface seen in images taken by the NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. As the Moon's core has cooled and contracted, the outer crust fractured into faults, forming ridges as one side of the fracture slid on top of the other. The same cooling and shrinking occurs within all planetary bodies; NASA's Messenger spacecraft recently observed similar — and much larger — fractures on the planet Mercury.
The largest of the Moon ridges is about 300 feet high and stretches for several miles, and some had been seen during the Apollo Moon missions. During Apollo 17, Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmidt even drove to one in their lunar rover. But most of the ridges are much smaller and shorter, only tens of yards high, which is why they had escaped notice until the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and its sharp-eyed camera arrived in orbit last year. Over the eons, the shrinkage for the Moon was only about 200 yards, the length of two football fields, out of a diameter of 2,160 miles.
The scientists believe that the ridges are young — for planetary geologists, a billion years old is young compared with the 4.5-billion-year age of the solar system — because the ridges cut across small, young craters, but no large craters appear on top of any of the ridges. The ridges also look freshly carved in the moonscape.
In the 1970s, four seismometers deployed by the Apollo astronauts detected about 30 shallow moonquakes. Watters said the scientists were looking into the possibility that those moonquakes might have emanated from the newly discovered faults.
Michael Wargo, the chief lunar scientist at NASA headquarters, said the findings, which appear in Friday's issue of the journal Science, were more evidence that the Moon was much livelier than its reputation as a cold, unchanging world. "We're now talking about the Moon in a completely different way," Wargo said.

from The Roots (Ft. Nelly Furtado) – Sacrifice Lyrics on Genius
Black Thought gives a nod to his fellow band member and friend Questlove. Questlove is the drummer for The Roots.
The two met back in a performing arts high school in Philadelphia. Black would freestyle to Questlove's mini-Casio Recorder samples at lunch, according to Questlove's book: Mo' Meta Blues.
Black, a known introvert, says that he would not be nearly as far as he is without Quest helping him and doing press for him.

If your competition cuts working hours to 30 to avoid healthcare costs, it they can then keep their prices lower than yours, you have to too or you're out of business. You can't rely on the goodness of people's hearts in capitalism.
The obvious way to solve that problem to make yet another regulation that forces employers to give employees at least 30 hours of work a week. However, that would just lead to even more unemployment. Wage and price controls never work. We need to have a system that doesn't depend on the goodness of people's hearts.
Counter-intuitively, that's probably an even freer market. Let's lower the barriers to hiring and try to reach full employment. Once there, employers will need to compete for workers by offering better pay etc., and the whole standard of life thing lifts itself up by its bootstraps, not by force and regulations. History, and the present day shows this over and over. There's no easy shortcut to riches just by making laws and relying on altruism.

- - You will still be able to drive your car by yourself, just like you can still ride a horse or buggy if you really want to. Even better, driving yourself won't even be that much slower than an autonomous vehicle, unlike a horse. It would probably be faster than driving is today even, because there would be less slow morons holding up traffic! And the ones who are manually driving like driving and are probably good at it.
- - It will be much less likely for you to be in an accident, because all the other cars drive perfectly. So, even if your insurance is higher than for an autonomous vehicle, it will still be lower overall!
- - Just driving your own car, in a day when almost nobody else has drivers licenses any more, will be cool. Just like today barely anyone knows how to ride a horse or motorcycle. Those few who can have a cool/badass factor. Further, you will have more of a "cowboy" mystique like who can ride his horse places that no car can get to, because you can drive a 4x4 or dirtbike anywhere, not just on roads that are on Google Maps.
- - With ubiquitous autonomous taxis, no longer will you have to waste time and money repairing and maintaining your boring daily driver. Instead, all that effort can be focused on your hot rod, classic car, or 4x4. And you won't need extra spots in the garage or own redundant vehicles just in case one breaks down or more than one family member at a time wants to go somewhere!
- - Ubiquitous autonomous taxis would drive the market toward more standard, cost effective, more easily repairable vehicles that don't change year-to-year like the fashion items that are on showroom floors these days. This will make it much more easier to be a mechanic, and to have more productivity. Today, guys who are the mechanics for the cops, taxis, or buses probably have the most steady, easiest mechanic jobs because they have mastered the repairs and maintenance on a uniform fleet of Crown Victorias (or whatever). Other mechanics get paid $20/hour but the shop has to charge $100/hour because the ever-changing automotive models need expensive different special tools and computers all the time.
So the sky is not falling! If you look up you'll see the rainbows and unicorns!

Gut Feel
How to build a culture of creativity
More News from Minyong Ordoñez
In my 40 years of establishing and managing advertising agencies such as Basic Advertising and Basic Foote Cone and Belding (president and chief creative officer); Publicis Basic (chair and CEO); Publicis Jimenez Basic (chair); and Publicis Manila (chair and CEO), I've learned and executed the secrets of success.
I communicated them to the people I worked with. We walked the talk, hit homeruns for all the brands we advertised, experienced deep friendship with clients, and had fun all the way to the bank. Here they are:
Gut feel
Creating advertising can be either an exhilarating process or a listless one for both the agency people and the client, especially if the participants do not share a common attitude in their approach to the creative task.
To make the exercise enjoyable and productive, every participant must be in expedition mode, all eyes and ears for insights into the consumer. Every opinion is welcome. No inhibition. Excited and noisy talk is part of the game. Don't use jargon. The more homespun the conversation, the more down-to-earth the ideas. And, for heaven's sake, don't take yourself seriously. Your sense of humor will make you see the most complicated subject in its simplicity.
Most of all, learn to listen to the voice of intuition. It's that aspect of creative work that seems to defy conventions. It's gut feel. And as the word says, it's visceral. Poets, painters, artists and inventors made breakthroughs by following their intuition.
"Breaking the rules" is another game you can play. Or the no-guts-no-glory approach. Or the what-have-you-got-to-lose attitude. Picasso, the great genius painter, said, "Before you can create, you must first destroy." So have no fear.
To help you along, here are guidelines and attitudes that will encourage you to be more daring, and make the creation of great advertising a lot of fun.
You must view your consumer beyond the quantitatives of demographics and economic class.
You have to individualize her in flesh and blood. You must understand her needs. You must appreciate and anticipate her wants. Bring her close to you until she becomes a familiar person. You're very much interested in her. You like her very much.
Outstanding creatives get their inspiration from the personality of the consumer. Unless you see her clearly as an interesting and unique person, you will find it hard to establish the chemistry between her and the advertising. The more personal the message, the more effective.
As a creator or decision-maker in the creative process, you have to appreciate early enough that in your consumer's mind, perception is the name of the game.
Reality is the fact of life. Perception is how your consumer thinks things should be.
It is on the level of perception that the creative person can apply his magic touch. It is perception that greatly affects and thrills human beings.
It is in the area of perception where product values can be made tactile and palpable to the consumer. Images, feelings, symbolisms, moods and aesthetics are eloquent signals of perception.
Today's consumer figuratively grew up in front of the TV set and the computer, seeing millions of advertising messages all her life. Her brand options are mind-blowing. Her literacy in both verbal and nonverbal communication is at an all-time high. She ignores stereotyped messages and gladly welcomes the fresh and innovative. The more unusual, the more unexpected, the more fascinated she is.
New product technology is available to almost any investor. Real product differences are difficult to achieve. Quite often, only relative differences are difficult to achieve. Quite often, only relative differences are available. Parity is a common denominator.
It is in the advertising that a product can be made distinct in the public eye. It is in the realm of the imagination that a consumer can be provoked and captivated.
Managing by inspiring
Ideas—The business of advertising is really very simple. It's all about coming up with ideas to grow the client's business. Without ideas, the business comes to a halt. The constant flow of ideas must be fertilized and nurtured all the time.
People—The key to a successful advertising agency is people. People are the one and only asset. Individuals of different profiles and characters who will be passionately involved in finding, creating, and producing great ideas in a market sell.
Fun—The workplace breeds the creature. The generation of ideas thrives only in a place where people are having fun while at work. Fun means friendship and a sincere desire to help, an appreciation of individual capacities, big or small, to do great work together, to make failures irrelevant, only to be lured again and again by the call of innovations and potentials.
Caring—Work excellence is a result of the high morale of people on the job. To achieve high morale for individuals, teams and the work force, the natural behavior of people must be one that cares and nurtures individuals or groups, in a reach-out fashion from top to bottom or vice-versa, where listening is a virtue, where coaching and empathy balance each other.
Knowledge—All the other tools to discover and create great ideas, market dynamics, deep consumer insight and brand leadership must be invested in, updated and preached.
The ultimate satisfaction of an agency is client delight and market leadership, possible only if ideas, people, fun and caring are harmonized in one heartbeat. The business just follows. It grows and grows because would-be clients take notice.
In exercising control, the manager should not be obsessed with growth and development, but should focus on people, their self-respect, their fulfillment, their contribution and their ample rewards, intellectually, physically and spiritually.
Vision statement
The agency will think, eat, breathe quality. Quality is defined by our clients. In Creative, in Media, in Fiscal and Account Management.
To deliver quality the first time every time. We will only hire people with a strong bias for quality. Who will not compromise. Who will not surrender an inch to mediocrity. People who will welcome the opportunity to improve themselves. To improve the work of their team. To improve their partnership with suppliers. To improve the quality output of the agency.
Quality will be our culture, our work style, our behavior. It's our commitment to the community. It's our commitment to our Creator.
We will be a quality team. We will set our business goals together. We will share equitably the fruits of our endeavors. And we will have fun!
Quality will spring from our minds. Quality will seep through our pores. Quality will be our aura. Our clients will see it. Feel it. And they will be delighted.

Only two hospitals in Bangalore have ethics committees
'Transplantation Act failed to achieve objectives'
Bangalore: It is vital that every hospital has an "ethics committee" to discourage the rampant organ trade — an activity that takes place with the collusion of touts and medical practitioners, said H. Sudarshan, former chairman of the Task Force on Health, Family Welfare and Vigilance.
Speaking at the second National Bioethics Conference organised by the Indian Journal of Medical Ethics here on Thursday, Dr. Sudarshan said that only two hospitals in the city had ethics committees — St. John's Medical College Hospital and the Bangalore Kidney Foundation.
"Hospitals should promote blood related donors in order to discourage commercial dealings in human organs. This will also reduce chances of rejection and cut the cost of maintenance drugs," he said. The Health Department, Dr. Sudarshan said, should take a proactive role in encouraging cadaver transplants.
A question from the audience generated a heated debate over the ethics of live donations of kidneys. "Why is the sale of a kidney for economic reasons seen to be more worrisome than the spate of suicides by farmers?" asked a member of the audience. To this, Farhat Moazam, founding chairperson of the Centre for Biomedical Ethics and Culture of the Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation in Karachi, asked: "What sort of society are we if the only asset we have to trade is a part of our own body?" Drawing parallels between Pakistan and India, she said that the Human Organs and Tissues Transplant Ordinance, 2007 was passed in Pakistan last month to curb the rampant sale of kidneys in the country.
Kishore Phadke, paediatric nephrologist and secretary Zonal Coordination Committee for Transplantation, Karnataka, admitted that the Transplantation of Human Organs Act 1994 had "failed" to achieve its objectives.

CUDDALORE: The aquarium at the Subbarayalu Municipal Park here is in need of attention. A year ago, it was a full-fledged aquarium. However, it now has fewer fish species in insufficiently filled tanks.
The aquarium was earlier maintained by the Cuddalore Municipality with guidance from the Centre for Advanced Study (CAS) in Marine Biology of Annamalai University. In fact, the CAS had deployed two of its faculty members for the upkeep of the fish species.
Care was taken to feed the species and maintain the fish tanks in a hygienic condition. Initially, the civic body had not fixed entry fee to the aquarium . However, the gate collection was not up to the expectation. Fishes started to die for want of aeration.
Collector P. Seetharaman visited the park recently and suggested measures to the municipality to revive the aquarium.
He told The Hindu that a mobile unit pressed into service for creating awareness of zoological species among students would be asked to distribute handbills on the aquarium. Mr. Seetharaman also mooted the idea of setting up an ice-cream parlour in the park and utilising the profit thereof for maintaining the aquarium. The aquarium also could sell ornamental and "vaasthu" fishes, feed and apparatus required to generate more revenue.
The Collector said that he had directed the civic body to prepare a sketch of a cross-section of the sea, depicting habitats of marine creatures at various depths. It would be recreated on the outer walls of the aquarium to give a preview of marine life to the visitors.
K. Srinivasan, a resident of Koothapakkam, who visited the park, said that an entry fee of Rs. 2 was being collected at present. To sustain interest of people, new species should be brought in periodically, he said.

Protesters rally for tax plan to avoid school cuts
Educators, school supporters stage waterfront rally in advance of new budget proposal
The state's second-largest school district, San Diego Unified has approved $114 million in cuts to next year's $1.04 billion operating budget — including about 750 teacher layoffs.
San Diego teachers union chief Bill Freeman has been organizing "rolling rallies" throughout the district in the past weeks. He helped plan Friday's event that included lively entertainment from student musicians.
"We cannot afford for our kids to be warehoused in overcrowded classrooms. We just cannot afford it," Freeman said at the Embarcadero. "I'm here to send a message. Education in the United States of America must be a top priority. Our priority should not be to protect the wealthy elite."
Yesterday's rally was peaceful and avoided the kind of drama that erupted at the state Capitol on Thursday. Some 27 teachers who were arrested in Sacramento were released from jail on Friday. California Teachers Association President David Sanchez was among those detained by police.
