October 2009 Archive for John Block Reports from Washington

Energy Independence
Oct 29, 2009
Are we really serious about reducing our reliance on imported energy? Shouldn't this be a priority for national security reasons, not to mention the jobs we can create and money we can save? We don't want to be sending billions of dollars to the Middle East or to Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.
Yet it seems that every promising idea must face heavy headwinds. Here is an absolutely ridiculous example. The location is a mountain top in Greenbrier County, West Virginia. A Chicago-based company plans to build 122 windmills to catch those strong mountain breezes and turn that wind into energy for thousands of households.
Sounds great, but David Cowen, a bat lover, has filed suit, claiming that the big blades will kill the Indiana bat (bats live in caves). It will kill other bats, too, and birds, but he has filed a lawsuit which hinges on the fact that the Indiana bat is on the Endangered Species list. The case is being tried right now. The legal counsel representing the wind farm had this to say, "A $300 million environmentally friendly, clean, renewable energy project waiting to serve 50 thousand households is in limbo over a rare bat that nobody has ever seen on the project site."
There are always trade-offs. We can't worry about a few dead birds and bats. This kind of nonsense can drive a sane man batty. EPA estimates there are 457,000 Indiana bats. I think that's more than enough.
We have experienced the same kind of objection to other sources of energy. The greens fight against nuclear. And they don't want us to drill for our own oil. Many in the environmental crowd won't support biofuels, even though biofuels are clean and reduce our reliance on imports. Some are against biotech crops. Biotech crops reduce our use of chemicals. That saves energy. Herbicides cut the need for tillage and that saves energy.
If America is going to have energy independence, we have to be willing to develop all of our available sources of energy and save where we can.

World Food Day
Oct 16, 2009
This Friday, October 16 was "World Food Day." Thirty years ago (1979), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN issued the proclamation to heighten public awareness of the world problem of hunger and malnutrition.
The problem is real. One billion people, one in six, in the world today don't get enough food to be healthy. Each year, 11 million children die before reaching the age of 5. A hungry mind cannot concentrate. Hungry bodies don't have the energy to work.
We all know that you can't fix a problem unless you know what causes the problem. Natural disasters such as floods, draughts, tsunamis, and wars all contribute to hunger. There is war in the Eastern Congo now with nearly a million killed and 900,000 displaced. The misery in Zimbabwe was forced upon a nation that had been a food exporter until President Mugabe confiscated the farms and gave them to his friends and the landless poor. Not a surprise, they don't know how to run a farm.
We are not going to be able to put an end to natural disasters or even nation conflicts, but there are 2 things we can do.
We can deliver food to the needy when disaster strikes. We do that now through the World Food Program. I serve on the Board of the Friends of the World Food Program. The World Food Program does a terrific job.
The other thing that must be done or we will never make any progress in combating world hunger is to help the poor backward countries improve their agricultural production.
I have been there, in Africa, several times. Their little tiny garden-type farms hardly produce enough to feed the family that tends their crop. One farm in the U.S. produces enough food for 150 people. Their farms desperately need the best science and technology that has made ours great. In most cases, they don't have hybrid seeds, they don't use commercial fertilizer. They don't control weeds and pests with chemicals. They need genetically engineered seeds.
Commercial science-based agriculture has been under assault recently by some high-profile elites in the country that pretend to know something. They don't know anything, and don't seem to have much compassion for the world's hungry.
World Food Day reminds us that if you "give a man a fish, you feed him for a day; teach him to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

Six months ago, here is what I said in my commentary –
"I don't think sending thousands more U.S. troops into Afghanistan is a good idea. Every country that has ever tried to get control of Afghanistan has come home with their tail between their legs. Examples would be Great Britain and, more recently, the Soviet Union. In relative terms, there is far more value in having an influence in the Middle East (Iraq) where they have oil. What do they have in Afghanistan? Camels and poppy fields."
That is what I thought then and I haven't changed my mind.
The President and the Congress are going to have to decide where we go from here. We just lost 8 soldiers in one day in Afghanistan. Our young men and women are dying in that God-forsaken land of rocks and poverty at a rate twice what it was one year ago. And for what? We have been fighting in that country longer than World War I and World War II combined.
Escalating our involvement in Afghanistan will result in many more casualties and billions of dollars spent.
Afghanistan is not a real country. It is a bunch of tribes that control different pieces of geography. They don't want a central government. How many years and how many dollars will it take to remake that country and its people? I remember when George Bush ran for election he said he didn't support "nation building." Well, we are nation building in Iraq now. We've found how hard and costly that can be. We don't need another project which would be infinitely more difficult.
After 9/11, we attacked Afghanistan, overthrew the Taliban, and have killed or driven most of Al Qaeda out of the country. Let's declare victory and use more of our resources to help Pakistan root out the terrorists.
There are those that say we must send in more troops to keep the Al Qaeda from using Afghanistan as a training ground for terrorism. That is possible, but there are many countries where they could train. They could set up bases in Somalia or Yemen or a number of African nations. Are we going to invade all of them and try to rebuild their economies?
Support for the war is on the decline in the U.S. and more so in Europe. We'll see what President Obama decides. I say "bring 'em home."
Until next week, I am John Block from Washington, D.C.

The Congress can't seem to get anything done. Health care legislation has sparked a battle royal. I think we will probably get a bill, but we may not like it very much. It is going to be very expensive unless the Congress and President have the courage to just say – No. Don't hold your breath.
Climate change or cap and trade legislation, however you want to call it, appears to be frozen in place. It passed the House and some Members there that voted for it wish they hadn't. The President promoted the legislation at the meeting of world leaders last week. Do we really think China and India are going to put any kind of meaningful lid on green house gasses? Of course not. So if you end up with the United States trying to fix the world climate, you get nothing done. Even Al Gore's experts acknowledge that the U.S. alone could only lower the temperature a fraction of one degree.
If the U.S. and perhaps Europe both bought into cap and trade, are we so naive to think other countries wouldn't be quick to take advantage of us. Our companies would just move their factories to some country that is not squeezed by a carbon tax. In closing on this subject, I must say that I believe "global warming, man made climate change" is nonsense.
Back to the business of Congress – they don't even have the appropriation bills passed for the different Departments. Of course, that's nothing new.
President Obama spent all of last weekend on television pitching his policies. Now he's going to fly to Denmark to promote Chicago for the 2016 Olympics. Maybe I'm missing something but it seems to me if you're running a company, you need to run it. It is the same thing if you are running a country. Your cheerleading days are over. It's time to go to work.
And finally – what's with all of these "czars" – climate czar, energy czar, environmental czar, green czar. I'm sure Secretary Vilsack is happy that they don't have an ag czar. How do you think the Obama Cabinet Members feel to see a czar standing between them and the President. And they thought they were working for the President.
So, now you have heard a few of my frustrations. They always say democracy is a messy business, like making sausage.
Until next week, I am John Block from Washington, D.C.

MHS grad gets perfect ACT score
Bradley Reynolds, a graduate of Mukwonago High School, has achieved what only a handful of students accomplishes: He scored a perfect 36 on his ACT test.
Less than one-tenth of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earn the top score.

Dominican University is on the hunt for business experts to serve as mentors for budding entrepreneurs as part of its Venture Greenhouse business incubator program, the school announced this week.
The program, targeted for the fall of 2012, will begin with an invitation-only Mentor and Adviser Lunch on Wednesday, August 22, at VG headquarters at 30 Castro Avenue in San Rafael. It will be held in conjunction with a Professional Service Providers Lunch a week later on August 29.
"We are looking for talented entrepreneurial experts -- seasoned business people who have run companies or are experts in green business or clean technology -- who have been there and can lend their expertise and experience," Paul Bozzo, a startup specialist who is VG's co-founder and director of client services, said in a statement. "We want people to know when it comes to Venture Greenhouse, we have an expansive and diverse team of experts that can help them succeed."
Venture Greenhouse, which opened in October of 2011, is a business incubator providing an intensive acceleration process for scalable companies that have the potential for significant environmental benefits. VG's 5,000-square-foot "innovation engine" has graduated six clients and currently has seven resident companies with the goal of graduating within one year.
Venture Greenhouse also is launching a Marin County-funded affiliate program serving another 10 companies, having completed a successful pilot in June.
Inspired by Dominican' s Green MBA program, Venture Greenhouse is a learning laboratory for the University's business students, and a community resource for innovators, investors, sustainability advocates and new ventures.
The team mentoring program is designed to pull more resources and experts into VG and provide an opportunity for experienced business people and professionals to help create future business ventures for current and future VG entrepreneurs.
The program will rely on a core leadership team to coordinate lead advisers and a new rotating series of between 15-20 top quality volunteer mentors and coaches who can work with VG entrepreneurial clients on a weekly or monthly basis up to a year.
Interested team mentoring program candidates should contact Matthew Gaulding, VG Operations Manager, at 415-497-3308 or email him at email@example.com by Aug. 20.
Potential mentors will be categorized by specific skill and knowledge "to begin a process to provide a vertical team of expertise," said VG Senior Advisor Ashwin Gulati, President of Match Point Ventures.
For more information, visit the Venture Greenhouse website at www.venturegreenhouse.org or call 415-497-3308.

How did they not stink?
I grew up in an older family. My parents were born in the early 1900's, and their parents were born in the late 1800's. People are amazed when I mention that I knew people that were born in the 1800's. But for me, it was the norm.
Because they were of a generation quite a bit older than most of my friends, their ways, habits and traditions were also a bit out of touch. My parents were the age of most of my peers' grandparents.
One of the things I grew up with was a generational line drawn between bathing every day and bathing every now and then. My parents followed the tradition of their parents by taking their last bath of the year sometime in the late fall and not bathing again until spring. In his later years, my father lived with our young family and followed this same tradition.
But, never once did my parents or their parents ever have a bad odor. How did they not stink?
I really don't know.
They didn't pile on lots of powders or perfumes, and they did use deodorant. They were not offensive in any way concerning their hygiene.
So, how did they do it?
I watched my mother and her mother make batches of lye soap - something I cannot stand to this day. She would render lard in a cast iron skillet, also saving the ashes.
And then I ran across the web site for Colonial Williamsburg, where it described in detail how one would deal with those who did have an offensive odor. They simply sprayed a lace handkerchief and slipped it up their sleeve. Then, it would be quite handy to remove the hankie and place it near the nose and sniff the perfume. Maybe that's why my female ancestors kept hankies close by them, sometimes tucked in their ample bosoms.
Mom and Dad also believed that bathing too often in the winter months would provide more opportunity for disease and the ague to set in. For females, a monthly flow meant no bathing, and certainly no washing of hair. I argued and argued with Mom over this one, but she finally relented to letting me take a short bath, but don't even ask about washing my hair.
Perhaps part of the reasoning comes from just how hard it was to get a bath ready. In the hills of eastern Kentucky, running water was a rarity. It meant heating up the water on the stove, perhaps after hauling it in from the creek. Dad would take a bath first, followed by my three sisters. Since he worked in the coal mines, the water would readily turn black, so by the time the youngest of my three sisters had her turn, Mom had to really hang onto her so she wouldn't lose her. Hence, "don't throw the baby out with the bath water!"
I love the cleanliness standards of today. I grew up feeling greasy and smelly (those teenage years encouraged the oil in my hair and skin), so I love to soak in a wonderful tub and read a book with a candle glowing softly nearby. My towels are soft, unlike whatever feed sack Mom could find to use as a towel.
But, how did they not stink?
I must thank fellow blogger, Caroline M. Pointer, for her post of today, and for her challenge to write a blog on this subject. Caroline, I did it. But, how did they?

Peggy, this is SO awesome! Well done!ReplyDelete
And you got me. How did they not stink?
Thank you so much for the laugh. I needed it. :)
Great post. I don't know how they did it. Maybe what we call "spit baths?" My mom was a once a week bather.ReplyDelete
I found your blog via Caroline Pointer's Blogging Genealogy blog. I'm glad I did. This is a great post! Okay, I'm stumped. How did they not stink? I love the "hankie" info. Hmm, how embarrasing to have someone quickly pull out the proverbial "hankie." And can you imagine if a whole group of people did that as you walked into the room? Yikes!ReplyDelete
Bless your hearts! I still don't know how they didn't stink - especially living in the south where the heat and the humidity can be high enough to make one sleep on the linoleum in the kitchen at night - which I did.ReplyDelete
As for the hankies, I guess it makes perfect sense to me. A schoolteacher friend of mine says she does the same thing in her classroom, for some of her students do not have good hygiene, or their breath is very foul. So, she carries her little perfumed hankie for the same reason.
It's interesting to note that many of the American Indians felt that the white man really smelled bad. That's one of the reasons they could find them so easily - they could smell them before they saw them.
An older woman was talking about infrequent bathing today and she said that if you bath or shower in rainwater the friendly bacteria on your skin survives. As you go about your life the bacteria eats the dead skill cells etc. and you can go quite some time without a shower, however with chlorine in our tap water (in Australia anyway) the chlorine kills the good bacteria and we start to smell again shortly after a shower. I don't know if this is true or not but it reminded me of your blog post. Perhaps this is the reason.ReplyDelete

I know this is a little old, however I started to wonder, did my ancestors smell without being able to have a regular bathing schedule, how could they not right!? My grandma's father who passed in the 50's and her mother who passed in the 70's were immigrants from Romania. Farming was the way of life. Before sunrise-just after sunset. My grandma has also since passed so I asked my mother if they had an odor because they did not bathe. She said no and wondered too how that was. My aunt said she remembered as a child her gpa having a barrel collecting rain water and would take a rag and only "wash" his armpit hair and chest hair--more so the hair than his skin! Maybe because the hair traps sweat? idk I'm curious!?! In winter they'd melt snow and have a very shallow bath that all kids in the fam would bathe in! Sometimes they'd refill another shallow bath for the man then the wife by the time they'd heated enough water, dumped it in, and went and heated more it was Luke warm. No child would spend long in the tub maybe 3 minutes.ReplyDelete

Customer Accounts - Maintaining Customer Accounts
Financial Background
A client's financial situation may change, so it is important for representatives to verify periodically that the customer's information is still accurate. Clients may not be forthcoming with such changes, but clues such as changes in purchases and sales may indicate otherwise.
As an investor ages, his or her risk tolerance, investment time horizon and goals change. All clients will modify their investment objectives to match changes during their lifetime.
Address Changes
A change in address may affect the ability of a registered rep or broker-dealer firm to serve a client. If a broker-dealer or rep is not registered in the state in which a client now lives, no business may be transacted until the registration is updated.
Transferring Accounts
When a customer wishes to transfer an account from one broker-dealer to another, the customer must sign a transfer request with the new member firm, which is mailed to the carrying firm.
Both member firms must coordinate their activities to expedite the transfer:
- the client's new firm must immediately submit the transfer request to the carrying firm, and
- the carrying firm must either validate the instructions or take exception within three (3) business days.
- Any exceptions must be resolved in an expeditious manner by the two firms.
- Causes for exceptions to the transfer include incomplete or improperly signed transfer instructions or having no record of the account. Otherwise, the carrying firm is obligated to make the transfer as quickly as possible.
Broker-dealers are required to provide customers with a statement at least quarterly, although if any activity has occurred in the account, the usual practice is to provide a statement for the month in which the activity has occurred. The account statement contains the following information:
- Cash balances
- All security positions
- Activity in the account since the last statement

New protest targets big banks
Organizers of Bank Transfer Day are hoping to piggyback on the media interest in Occupy Wall Street.
This post comes from Brian O'Connell at partner site MainStreet.
Occupy Wall Street has dominated headlines for the past few weeks, with advocates and critics jaw-boning over whether it was government or Wall Street that fueled the financial crisis (here's a vote for both).
But even critics can't argue about the growth prospects of the "occupations" taking place in urban centers across the U.S. Now comes an offshoot of Occupy Wall Street that takes aim at banks where it hurts them most -- in their vaults.
The social uprising -- called Bank Transfer Day -- encourages bank customers to take their cash out of big banks and put it in smaller banks and credit unions instead. The movement is ostensibly in response to aggressive fees institutions are rolling out to recover profits lost from new financial regulations, notably Bank of America's decision to stick debit card users with a $5 monthly fee and Wells Fargo's $3 test of the same.
On the movement's Facebook page, protest organizers say that, even with new government regulations in place to keep banks in check, they're still making out like bandits. For example:
- With the Durbin Amendment in effect, banks will still make 19 cents profit per processed transaction.
- The average consumer uses his or her debit card 24 times per month.
- Without the additional fee, Bank of America stands to turn a $3.3 billion annual profit from its 59 million customers' debit card transactions.
Here's an explanation from the organizers of Bank Transfer Day, straight from the group's Facebook page:
Together we can ensure that these banking institutions will always remember the 5th of November!! If the 99% removes our funds from the major banking institutions on or by this date, we will send a clear message and give the 1% a taste of the fear that we experience every day when we aren't able to pay for our rent, food, medication, utilities, student loans, etc.
As of Oct. 10, the group's organizers say 6,500 Americans have already signed up in support of the event. How many of those consumers will actually yank their deposits from big banks is an open-ended question that won't be answered until Nov. 5, if at all. Post continues after video.
But the protest won't be going away. Consumers who want to join in only have to take three simple steps, organizers say:
- Open an account with a credit union.
- Transfer your funds to the account (online or in person) by Nov. 5.
- Follow your bank's procedures to close your account.
Bank Transfer Day organizers are not only hoping to piggyback on the media interest in Occupy Wall Street, there's a deeper well of consumer dissatisfaction that the group wants to tap into -- that "I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore" frustration immortalized in the 1976 film "Network."
Just 6,500 bank transfers won't cut it, even though the movement still seems to be growing. In the way they treat customers, big banks could keep those numbers where they are, shrink them -- or cause them to grow into something truly significant.
More on MainStreet and MSN Money:
notably Bank of America's decision to stick debit card users with a $5 monthly fees and Wells Fargo's $3 test of the same.
The Frank - Dodd Bill requires BofA to charge these fees. So is it Gov't or Wall Street Banks that is at fault? It is the Democrats stupid!!!
And has been since the Carter Days when banks were FORCED to give out loans to people that the Democrats were paying back for their votes. Remember when Rev. Jesse Jackson would Blackmail the banks with threats of boycotts if they didn't loan out the money??
The only thing these idiots are going to do is make nuisance of themselves. Here's a newsflash...the banks aren't going anywhere! What do you think the smaller regional banks are going to do when they get all of this money.
Quit complaining about "the man"! If youare a contributor to society (employed, taxpaying, solid citizen), you are probably just fine.
I mean seriously, it's a $5 charge PER MONTH! How much do youspend at Starbuck's everyday?!?

Love It Works beautifully and replaces sound machine, alarm, with a lighter weight clock---GREAT---sound is comparable to my large sleep mate but with lots of different choices for background sounds September 20, 2013
Terrible power problems If you switch from battery to plug in power it fry's and will only work with batteries. (My second unit, so I will be extra careful although there is no information about this in the manual or online). January 27, 2014

Available Projects
Paid for a measure of cabinets. bought new applainces. worked with kitchen designer. came home with printout of layout and the measurements. Using those measurements we put up the can lighting in ceiling to be centered with each cabinet. Then cabinets came and were installed by the guy who measured and the lighting doesn't line up.... UGH! Shouldn't those measurements on the printout have been right??????
You've got a couple of posts now about obviously not being pleased with your new kitchen. I believe that your problems are probably caused by using the 'free' design services at Home Depot. You must realize that using a big box store that offers basic design services and then subcontracts installs is not the same as paying for a designer and contractor to set up and oversee your project. Aside from getting what you pay for with free services you may want to look through whatever paperwork you have to see if the phrase "must field verify" appears. If that is there then you are probably sunk, as you are the one acting as the contractor.
However it was set up, you need to talk to a store manager to work this out. They may work with you, they may not, depending on how all this was set up.
deja vu/ I thought i read this already
you gonna call ho depot this am?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Frodo,

St. Lucia, a small Caribbean nation on the Small Antilles volcanic arc is getting ready to exploit one of their greatest natural resources: geothermal energy.
The island has entered into an agreement with U.S.-based Qualibou Energy to develop a series of geothermal plants that will total an installed capacity of 120 MW, enough for the island of 175,000 to use and export. About one-third of buying real viagra without prescription that energy will go toward powering St. Lucia with the rest being transmitted to neighboring Martinique through an underwater cable.
This set up is ideal for St. Lucia and the surrounding islands not only because they are rich with geothermal resources, but also because they currently have to http://www.nextstagecapital.com/levitra-discussionsdiscount-priced-levitra import most of their energy -- mainly petroleum -- from Mexico and Venezuela. This project will provide them with clean energy and allow them to be energy independent.
The first 12-MW phase of this development will be generating energy in two years with the rest to come online by 2015.

How to Wear Leggings if You're Over 40, 50 or 60
By Tina Boomerina (Christina Gregoire)
Teens know how to wear leggings, but adult women over 40 or 50 or 60 have stricter fashion rules. And, I'll tell you all about what to wear with leggings so you will look trendy, but not silly.
Leggings are still a big hit, no matter what designers and magazines say or fail to say. I was in Paris last summer and I saw women of all ages wearing leggings with skirts. And, in the states, where everyone is more casual, leggings are perfect if done to perfection.
Can I Wear Leggings as Pants?
You will love wearing leggings as pants, as long as you wear them the right way.
They are the perfect style for apple-shapes because leggings and jeggings are stretchy.
Although teenage girls know everything on earth about leggings, if you are an older woman (over 40 or 50 or 60), I am going to tell you how to wear leggings without looking absurd or embarrassing.
Tunic Tops for Leggings
If you are over 18 and you don't live in the Playboy Mansion, you must wear leggings with a top or tee that covers your hoo-ha and your booty. No exceptions, ladies.
You may wear your leggings or jeggings with:
- Long Tunics
- Fun and flirty dresses – leggings as tights
- Skirts
- Big shirts that are long enough to fulfill requirements
- Belted big shirts
- Long, roomy sweaters
- Long T-shirt tunics, T-shirt dresses
NOT Clothes to Wear With Leggings
The legging trend uses the silhouette of big over narrow. (Big top, narrow legs.) If you are wearing your leggings as pants, you cannot wear them with:
- A top that's shorter than mid-thigh
- A tight-fitting top
How to Wear Jeggings Over 40, 50, 60
You will love jeggings. If you are over 30, 40, 50, or 60, you can wear jeggings instead of jeans. Jeggings are like denim tights or very skinny jeans. And, any apple-shaped woman who has had children will find that jeggings are more comfortable than jeans.
When you hit 40 or 50, you will notice that most jeans suck and that jeggings are a chic alternative to the dreaded "mom jeans".
Apple Shaped Women
Apple shapes should take advantage of their shapely legs by wearing their jeggings under a long T-shirt or T-shirt dress and covering the T-shirt with a cute sweater coat or belted trench coat. If the trench is cute enough, you can wear that same outfit anywhere, from the malls of North America to the streets of Paris. However, you must wear jeggings (or leggings) that are heavy enough not to be confused with tights.
(Article continues.)

Business Ideas in the News / June 12, 2014
Lammoglia's AIRE mask, which harnesses the wind power from breathing, "contains tiny wind turbines and the energy created is transferred through a cable to your electronic device," the Mail reports.
"I hope to bring the concept into production and reduce the carbon footprint," Lammoglia told the Mail. "It can be used indoors or outdoors, while you're sleeping, walking, running, or even reading a book."
"Besides saving energy and helping environmental preservation, it also encourages physical exercise," Lammoglia says.
Unlike solar power, which can be sapped if it encounters too many cloudy days, the AIRE mask can generate power 24/7, he says.

What about an education revolution in universities?
An education revolution is always discussed in the frame of schools, high school, but rarely for University. Is the new education paradigm good only for children? Must students in colleges and universities continue to adopt the old system, because no new education paradigm is possible for higher education? I have precise ideas on that you can read in my profile section (for more details see: http://freeprogressuniversity.org/), and my answer is: no! Also the way we study and make research in universities and research centers should change. Also here we should reconsider the role of exams and grades. Also in colleges a free progress study should be allowed. Do you agree? What is your opinion? I'm looking forward for people willing to work on this idea!

Sep 5 2013: i totally agree with you being a engineering student we have to study 8 semesters,45 subjects,14 different labs,144 internals and 59 exams within 4 years. we are studying so many subjects but we don't have any practical knowledge on how things work in real world all our colleges and universities are just interested whether the students are passing the exams or not. Companies are training universities students on how to implement the things we have studied in real world application. So can't we be educated in such a manner that we can be ready to work from day one after joining a company. Its like we know how a Internal combustion engine works and to calculate the efficiency etc etc but not knowing how to change a spark plug if we have a problem with it.
wayne uejio 30+Sep 6 2013: I understand your concern and part of me agrees. But you need to know the basics before you can solve the problems. I also agree universities need to change but they are changing. My son went to Harvey Mudd College and most of the students do projects. These projects are real life problem presented by companies and the companies pay 50k and they own the research. Some projects take 2-3 years. I have been on both sides of the hiring table and what i look for are:
1. knowledge of the basics and the ability to apply it to unknown problems
2. problem solving
3. ability to learn
4. ability to think
5. ability to communicate (both written and spoken)
6. ability to work within a team
7. ability to listen
8. flexibility
I also like students that have coop/intern experience.
and learning how to change a spark plug is something you learn outside of school
Sep 6 2013: i totally agree with you here in our university we are also made to do a project in our final year but unlike your son's situation we have to select projects on our own and implement it with the help of a faculty. All i am saying that we should be given with series mini projects before letting us do the final project that gives a real world idea on what we will be getting into . Getting internships are pretty slim but even if we get a Internships the problem is we have 6 days of college a hectic syllabus to study so a student has to manage both at same time. We hardly get a fortnight of semester break between semesters.
wayne uejio 30+
A SharifSep 6 2013: Thank you Wayne for your view. I find it both unbiased and enlightening.
But I still wonder, except for those highly prestigious universities, where else is the change taking place.
I do agree that it is in progress, but I wonder how long it might take for universities in less developed societies to even start their progress. Ironically, such societies are in severe need for the change more than any other society.
Sep 7 2013: there are 2 things
1. teaching is a performance art and teachers,professors are not taught that and they have to learn it on the job - some never do because they are not rewarded for it.
2. teachers and education is highly respected in developing nations but this also restrict changes - this respect helps and hinders.
I just saw how tutors in Singapore are considered "rock stars" because they are the most successful in getting their students into top universities. It is almost a market driven event.
Sep 6 2013: wayne uejio, do we really need to know the basics before we can solve problems? I'm not sure about that. My experience is that I solve problems much better if I first get the problem to solve itself, and then look for the basics that allows me to find the solution. IMHO, one of the fundamental errors of a universal didactical mindset is that to believe that there must be first the learning (basics), and only after that the doing (problem solving). Whereas, I believe we should shift our conception towards a learning AND a doing at the same time. This would also answer with Karthik CR's complain.
Sep 7 2013: Randy Pausch's Last Lecture.
In this lecture,Randy in one section pushes the need for basics.
Let me see if I understand you. You get a problem, you propose a solution and then you try to fit the basics into your proposed solution.
What I think you are against is not the basics but the rules we have placed on thinking - That i would agree one must learn when to break the rules.
Marco MasiSep 6 2013: Karthik CR, you are right in complaining that there is not much focus on practical knowledge in college and universities. However, the question is what is the right way to learn that? Internships at companies? Enhancing laboratories? Learn to use machines? Well, yes, that certainly helps. But, first of all consider that there are also people who have a more theoretical approach to things (I'm not only speaking of theoretical physicists, but for instance all those who do math, or computer simulations, etc.). Should we send them too to change spark plugs in an engine? More generally I don't think we are getting at the root of the problem. I believe there should be a system where every student should be let free to chose one's own approach, be it theoretical or practical or whatever. We need a system were people follow their inner call, without being forced from a top down hierarchy which tells what is good or bad for them.

Jury duty: Can you afford it?
If you're called, prepare to take a financial hit. No wonder so many people are reluctant to serve.
Hear that sound? It's the collective groan of everyone who just opened the mail and found a summons for jury duty. If you've been there, you know what I mean.
Yes, we all know that a jury of our peers is the foundation of our justice system, but the fact is that it can be a financial drain -- and a big hit for some. It's no small wonder that the no-show rate is 50% in some locations.
I had jury duty recently and noticed that some people were very anxious about the possibility of getting picked for the trial. It likely meant no paycheck. It made me wonder how well justice is served when otherwise well-meaning jurors are watching the clock.
Bruce Watson wrote about his own jury experience at DailyFinance about two years ago. From his account:
As the trial continued into its second week, things got tougher: One member, a therapist, started to feel the hardship of lost billings, while another grew heavy-eyed as her all-night hospital residence shift bumped up against her daytime responsibilities in the courtroom. One found out that her employer was docking her pay, giving her only the $40 per day that the state of New York requires.
By the time we got to the jury room to decide the case, it seemed like most of us had an eye on the meter: After a few hours of argument, one juror joked that we might need to talk for another day before rendering a verdict. The room suddenly became very quiet as a soft voice replied "For real, y'all, I can't miss another day of work."
My jury duty was in federal district court, about 110 miles away, and paid $40 for my travel day and another $40 for my morning in the jury box (I wasn't selected). However, juror pay varies widely across the country. For example:
- In Massachusetts, an employer must pay an employee on jury duty in state courts at the worker's regular rate for up to three days. After that, the state pays $50 a day.
- In Florida, it's $15 a day for three days and $25 a day after that. Generally employers aren't required to pay.
- In Washington state, jurors are usually paid $10 a day.
- In Houston Municipal Court, it's $6 for the day.
Post continues below.
There are exemptions from service in many courts for those who are caring for small children or aging parents, as well as for those who can show a devastating financial hardship if they were picked for a trial. But be prepared to prove your point with paystubs, tax returns and other documentation. Simply losing some pay won't cut it with the judge.
Still, it can hurt. "WellHeeled" from the Well Heeled Blog presented the scenario of a self-employed person in a post on BlogHer. This person normally makes $30 an hour -- when she's working.
For her five-day service, this contractor would have lost $900 in net income and earned $45 in net income. That's a net loss of over $850!
Meanwhile, the number of no-shows is astounding in some jurisdictions. (It apparently rose noticeably when courts switched from summoning jurors from among those good citizens who register to vote to the much larger pool of everyone who's licensed to drive.) Notes the Sun Sentinel in South Florida:
In Broward, of the 139,366 potential jurors summoned in 2010, about 57,572 people showed. About 30% of those who didn't show were exempted, but the rest blew it off. Miami-Dade County mirrors the trend, with only 38% of potential jurors showing up.
Whether no-shows face consequences depends on the resources and will of the courts to enforce the law. You could go penalty-free or be fined or, in some cases, jailed. Personally, I considered it my duty to serve. I also dreaded the thought of a U.S. marshal showing up at my door (unless he looked like Tommy Lee Jones).
Surely there must be a better way. Among suggestions we found for improving the system:
- Increase the pay -- unlikely with the financial condition many governments find themselves in.
- Require all employers to pay workers called for jury duty at their normal rate for a limited number of days, minus juror pay. (Small businesses are often exempted in states that require this.)
- Make jury pay tax-free and also allow deductions for juror expenses that aren't reimbursed. For instance, some courts don't pay for mileage.
Here's the bottom line on my jury duty:
- I'm self-employed, so I'm not paid if I don't work. Total lost pay was about 1.5 days. (I'm keeping the exact amount to myself.)
- An additional loss of $50 to pay the pet/house sitter.
In exchange for my service, I got a check for $367.45, which included:
- $80 for two days of attendance pay.
- $112.20 for mileage at 51 cents per mile.
- $123 for hotel reimbursement and meals (per diem) my first day, plus $6.25 for the hotel tax.
- $46 per diem for my second day, which included the drive home.
Overall, it was a sustainable hit for someone with a substantial emergency fund. Plus, I enjoyed the experience. However, others aren't so fortunate.
What's a prospective juror to do? Accept it and do your best to be impartial and thoughtful. I told myself this: If I were accused (falsely, of course) of a crime, I'd want jurors who are proud to do their duty and have banished thoughts of their bank accounts.
Do you have a story of jury duty to share?
More on MSN Money:
First, I think people should be paid their regular rate of pay with the court picking up the cost and people who are not employed should be paid minimum wage for their services. The judges and lawyers are paid, why should the jury work for free?
I also think that people should be able to volunteer for jury duty and that when jury pools are formed a significant portion of those seats should be filled by people that want to be there. There should probably be a limit as to the number of times per year that someone could serve so that people cannot become professional jurors, but I'm sure there are many people, particularly retirees, college students and people active in politics who would actually be glad to participate in the process.
Next, they need to make the jury selection process more efficient. I think people could take surveys to be weeded out early in the process so that you don't need 50 people sitting for 4 hours to select a jury for a relatively minor incident.
Finally, I think there should be a better process for determining which cases need a jury and which can be decided by a judge. I've been called for jury duty twice and both times the cases were stupid and a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. The first one was to determine if a porn shop was violating laws about selling prurient materials. The other one was to determine if a child should be awarded damages for his pet pit bull being shot by an officer while conducting a drug bust in the parent's home.
So because some idiot breaks the law, I have to sacrifice my time and money to decide whether or not he/she is guilty or innocent? Being fully reimbursed for my time/money should be mandatory. It is mandatory that I show up, it should be mandatory that I don't lose any pay for it. after all, it is a constitutional right to have a jury trial.
Why dont they pick out of the millions pf people who dont have jobs and are on welfare to serve/ At least they could get some money.
I am self-employed, and usually under contract to get a job done by a deadline, or face financial penalty (on top of not collecting hourly billings). This is thousands or dollars in a week, which translates into substantial tax income for the government that is also lost.
A jury of peers is an important part of our society, but can someone give a good counter argument why the jury shouldn't be comprised completely of individuals collecting unemployment or welfare? It seems that the process is still well served, and both the individual cost (income), and collective cost (tax revenue) are averted. Also, since those on unemployment are being paid by the state already, why would additional jury pay, (other than travel expense) be necessary?

2009 Kia Borrego
The Borrego is Kia's first foray into the market of true SUV's.
User Reviews
The community thinks...
True "Utillity" in a great daily driver package by Durbiaj, ND on 06/05/2012. Trim: 2009 Kia Borrego EX V8 4WD, Owned less than 1 year.
Pros: I tow a boat regularly and I barely noice it's back there. It's got great pickup but shifts conservatively for most situations to conserve fuel which with the V8 is a good thing. When I do need more get up and go I just put it in the manual shift mode and it works smooth as butter. Ultimately I love that for my family of six we can ride comfortably with everyone having plenty of elbow room. The quiet ride, solid feel, fit and finish of the vehicle inside and out are just amazing. Although its interior is understated by some views it's timeless, convenient, comfortable. My vavorite quote from friends is "This is a Kia?" or "I didn't know Kia made anything this nice".
Cons: Cargo space when all three rows are in use is frankly embarasing, a necessary sacrifice for an adult capable third row while maintaining it's great daily driver dimensions. The ride is definately harsh but also a trade off for great handling, cargo capacity and towing capacity.
Overall review: A friend of mine said to me, he's a die hard Honda Pilot owner, after an extended trip with me. "There's nothing your Borrego doesn't match or do just a little better than my Pilot" The only two things the Pilot really beats the Borrego on is every day ride, and perception of being a CUV rather than a true SUV. Overall I needed a daily driver with seating for 6 plus and true 'Utillity" for towing, ocasional off roading and all season reliabillity. This Vehicle delivers on all my requirements in spades and I love the fact it's not common. This truely is a great vehicle and if you can find a clean one you really should consider it if you need the utillity of much larger SUVs but don't need or want all the bulk. The V8 is definately the way to go if you can find one, I consistently beat millage estimates by 2-3 MPG. My wife and our 4 kids are truely impressed. Every Borrego Owner I see Gives me a thumbs up when they see I have one too, I think that says a lot.

I know, scary, right?! Especially with kids...
After doing some research I found out that the video that I watched was from a TV station in Detroit from 2012...but that the weed and the threat are real. So while this might not be necessarily NEW info, it's still good to know.

Conference on Asian wetlands planned for New Delhi
(3 December 1997)
International Conference on Asian Wetlands
New Delhi, 29-31 January 1998
An International Conference on Asian Wetlands is planned for early next year (29-31 Jan. 1998), and is open to all those interested in the study, conservation, and management of wetlands anywhere in the world, although it will focus especially on Asian Wetlands. Some of the major and most important objectives of the Conference are:
- To discuss National Wetland Policies and prepare ground for the formulation of Wetland Policies in countries where these do not exist;
- To discuss traditional and scientific wetland management for wise and sustainable use; and to discuss the importance of community participation in management;
- To discuss methods for evaluation of wetland values and functions, especially economic valuation methods;
- To discuss the importance of wetlands vis-à-vis other international conventions such as Biodiversity and Global Climate Change
Besides these, the Conference will cover all aspects of wetland science, wetland management and education and awareness.
We encourage the wetland scientists, managers, NGOs, government officials concerned with wetlands and water resources, fisheries, waterfowl and other wildlife to contribute and participate. Your experiences and case studies will help us formulate plans for wetland policies. If your country has developed a national wetland policy,or is developing one, we would like to know about it and share your experiences. The conference will cover all kinds of freshwater, brackish and marine wetlands (including mangroves).
There shall be an excursion to Keoladeo National Park (a Ramsar site and also a World Heritage site) and one half-day session is planned to be held there.
Unfortunately, no funds are available to support the travel or other expenses of the participants but one hopes that they will be able to raise their own resources.
Registration Fee: US$ 250. The Registration Fee includes the cost of excursion (including one night stay) to Keoladeo National Park, and Proceedings of the Conference. The Registration Fee is payable by Bank Draft to the Indian Environmental Society. Your contributions (abstracts) may be sent by email also (please send only ASCII files: no attachments please)
