Here's a great opportunity to be part of a new initiative by one of our star MIS alums, Nanditha Gandi, now working at Juniper but coming back to SJSU to connect the students and faculty outside class, and create opportunities for all to meet industry professionals and network better. Nanditha's another great example of our alumni wanting to give back to the school and the next generation of students coming up. She's put together a Lean In Circle (based on the book by Sheryl Sandberg of Facebook) and she's running it here once a month starting tomorrow night, 9/15, at 6pm in BBC 032. It's free, open to all students and promises to be really enriching.

Tomorrow's kickoff meeting will be about branding yourself, including professional dress genres, first impressions, elevator pitches, etc. These are all key to launching your career and will set the stage for a great series of meetings this fall.

Mark your to-do list for tomorrow but if you can't make it then, try for next time. Keep an eye out here for info about the upcoming meetings.Professor Tim Hillhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147394578340193807.post-7887036244223333242015-08-31T10:35:00.001-07:002015-09-04T09:49:06.557-07:00scholarship for MIS, CS & CompEngr - deadline in 6 days!

Want to know what it's really like to actually do MIS for a living? Want to hear it from someone who actually is? Want to go see it happening at major local powerhouses like Cisco, PwC, Lockheed Martin, etc? The MIS club, aka MISA, aka MIS Association, is how you do all that AND have fun meeting fellow students that will be your professional colleagues in Silicon Valley next year!

Everybody's welcome. Even if you haven't taken a single MIS course yet. You don't even have to be an MIS student, for Pete's sake. Just interested in how we leverage technology to do business better/faster/smarter. And who's wouldn't be, really? I'm serious!

Tomorrow (Thursday, Aug 27) is the first meeting (free) from 6-7:30pm in BBC 322, and everyone (that means you) is welcome as noted by the new club president, Nate, in his message below. Please take a look at the great lineup he and his team have put together for the coming month & semester and be there tomorrow to get started. Highly recommended!

From Nate:

Fellow MIS Students,

Allow me to welcome you to the Fall 2015 semester. I want to extend an invitation to all of the Management Information Systems Association's (MISA) technical talks, career introductions, social events, and member meetings this semester. In the next month or so, we'll be clearing up some confusion around the careers available to MIS graduates, helping members work on their resumes, and touring Cisco, PwC, and Lockheed Martin campuses. We meet on Thursday evenings from 6-7:30pm in BBC 322. If you want to stay up to date with what MISA has planned, subscribe to our mailing list and you'll receive monthly updates on upcoming events, and periodic emails about internships and other job opportunities. You can also find us on Facebook and LinkedIn.

Upcoming MISA Events:

8/27 – Intros/Icebreaker
9/3 – Grab a bite with the club, alumni, and faculty at San Pedro Square
9/10 – Hear speakers answer the question "What is MIS", with a chance to speak with them afterwards
9/17 – Introduction to the field of Systems and Application Analysis by professionals
9/24 – Revamp your resume with help from the Career Center and MISA alumni
9/25 – Tour Cisco's campus with MISA
9/26 – Volunteer with MISA and other LCOB clubs at Veggielution

Most of our events will be open to any interested student, but if you are interested in invitations to off-campus corporate tours and access to free Microsoft software through DreamSpark, you will need to become a dues-paying member. If you'd like to learn more about the club, you'll find us tabling in the BBC courtyard from 9:00am-2:30pm Monday through Thursday until September 3rd. Hope to see you out there, and have a good semester.Professor Tim Hillhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147394578340193807.post-50651957586467222182015-08-02T15:35:00.000-07:002015-08-02T15:36:39.400-07:00SJSU MIS Grad Scores with SF Giants!

Kevin Kent: MIS Grad/Giants Admin

Maybe the best thing about my job is hearing about, and telling people about, the awesome things our grads are doing out there in the real world. The latest example is Kevin Kent who just graduated from our MIS program last May. Ready for this?

He just got hired by the SF Giants.

No, I'm serious! Kevin's now on the organization's "starting lineup" as an IT Administrator. Not only is it way cool but it's super impressive because the IT staff there is a really elite outfit of top-notch people who love the team but who have to really know their stuff, first and foremost. Everybody counts on them to keep the info flowing and the systems going to support the team, the fans, the organization. Not many get to tryout, let alone make it onto the team. But Kevin did it and we're super-proud. He's in the big league!

I've been lucky enough to hear the Giants CIO, Bill Slough, speak–he's a terrific guy and occasionally comes to SJSU to talk to the students, etc. He's super nice. Super smart. Telling us all the leading edge technology innovations they use, etc. Kevin's so lucky to be working in Bill's outfit and we wish him, and Bill, and the team, the very best.

I asked Kevin to share a bit of the backstory which I've embedded below. Check out how he got to MIS@SJSU, via Industrial Design (!), and made it to the Giants for the next chapter in his life. Also note his kind & gracious words about the program and the MIS faculty. Thanks, Kevin. You're a star.

Go Kevin. Go Giants!

Kevin's Backstory -

I was born in SF, and lived/grew up in San Bruno where I now live...a bay area native. Sports, especially baseball and basketball were always a consistent activity in my life from the age of 4 to present day. I really loved playing baseball with my friends and I always had my dad as my coach, which was very cool to experience. I played on all-star, all-city and tournament baseball teams throughout my childhood and into my teens, and to say the least, baseball has always been a big part of my life.

I went to Junipero Serra high school in San Mateo where I excelled as a student, being a member of the National Honors Society during my junior and senior years. I was also able to play baseball there as well, which I am still very proud of that achievement to this day.

When looking at colleges, I had a few academic scholarship offers, but I eventually chose SJSU because of the great industrial design program..yes, initially I wanted to draw and draft cars and other things like that for a career and I was fairly decent at it, but midway through my sophomore year I realized that design was not for me.

Knowing my personality and the way my mind works (analytical and detailed) combined with my passion for technology, I did some further research within the college of business and landed on MIS. I knew there was a bright future within the MIS concentration, and wanted to bridge my education with something else I truly loved, maybe music or sports...and well, luckily now one of those has come true!

I've made many friends through both baseball and school, especially at SJSU, and I would like to thank all of them..also all my past professors/instructors that helped me become the person I am today. From Larry Gee's project management class to Richard Sessions' capstone course, and all courses/professors in between, I've learned so much and would again like to thank them all for such a great experience at SJSU.

Now, onto the next chapter of my life, and I'm lucky enough to say that that chapter begins with the San Francisco Giants as an IT Administrator.

SJSU's MIS program gets included because we're considered a program of national prominence so please help us not disappoint them by filling out the survey before tomorrow's deadline! The survey helps all MIS schools determine what are the current salaries, hot industries, etc for MIS students so you're helping your peers and the next generation.

If you've already done this, thanks a ton! If not, please find that message in your SJSU inbox and follow the link to fill out the survey. They give automatic Amazon gift cards to the first 20 and we have only 17 so far, so the next 3 are guaranteed. And even if you're not in the first 20, you're in a drawing for bigger gift cards too.

Thanks!Professor Tim Hillhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147394578340193807.post-508737038256866382015-04-23T09:02:00.002-07:002015-04-23T09:03:04.822-07:00Python workshop cancelled but narrated tutorial videos on the wayApologies, but unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Professor Venkatsubramanyan has regretfully asked us to cancel the Python workshop scheduled for tomorrow. But she understands how much enthusiasm there was for this event and has promised to create a set of narrated video tutorials which we will make available as soon as they're ready.

But do consider signing up for the IBM Bluemix workshop next Friday, May 1, 1-4pm in BBC 304. This is a hands-on tutorial that will give you exposure to a cutting edge set of tools for big data, sentiment analysis, etc. It's a golden opportunity not to be missed. I sure won't! (miss it, that is)

On Friday, May 1, our Free Ascent Career Series continues with IBM, here to give you a hands-on intro to their cloud platform, Bluemix.

Not to be missed.

As always, this event is free but space is limited to be sure to sign up soon at the EventBrite site. This is likely to be a sellout so be sure to register early and BE SURE YOU AREN'T A NO-SHOW because you'll be blocking someone else from going and you'll be banned from future events. If you need to cancel your ticket, you can do so through this EventBrite site.

This Friday, the 17th, our MIS club (MISA) is collaborating with a local philanthropic group of CIOs & IT Directors to give MIS students "face time" with top role models in the field. This is a new golden opportunity to get some direct contact with the local leaders who are giving of their time to help mentor the next generation.

There will be execs from a variety of MIS areas including, IT Infrastructure, IT Analysis, Applications, Analytic's/BI, Consulting (Tentative), along with some SJSU alums.

And the "speed dating" approach means you're in a small group of 5 or 6 students that gets to chat informally with each of the execs directly for a few minutes, rather than sitting in a crowd watching from the audience. Each time the bell rings, you and your team rotates to the next exec, so you get quality time with them all. It's a golden opportunity to learn from the brightest, most successful IT luminaries in Silicon Valley.

Space is limited (to ensure everyone gets quality face time) but there are slots left. Register here ASAP before they hit the cap.

Note: The event is running 1-2pm at the Blach Construction Company, 2020 Fortune Drive Suite 100, San Jose, 95131. (Rides are available if requested).

I'm planning to put on Another Salesforce workshop soon, TBA, so stay tuned. More on the way...

To remind you, this series is open to all MIS students but targeted especially to seniors who are graduating and looking for jobs.

In case you're wondering, the answer is YES, recruiters DO ask you specific questions about routing protocols, SQL, etc. to make sure you know your stuff before they hire you. You DO want to be able to impress them with your knowledge which may be a bit rusty, especially if it's been awhile. THIS is your chance to polish up and get the best career launch you can. THAT's the Free Ascent concept. USE it to your advantage.

BTW - Remember, no-shows are a no-no, so only sign up if you're really going to be there and if you do and you can't then be sure to cancel your tickets 24 hours ahead, using the EventBrite sign you used to sign up.Professor Tim Hillhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147394578340193807.post-31037650386494161712015-03-02T14:45:00.000-08:002015-03-02T14:45:00.332-08:00your chance to meet a real billionaire! (seriously)

This is a guy named Jim Thompson, back around the time he was a SJSU student in the early 60's. After he left he went to Japan and, with $1000 in his bank account, he started an international shipping company. Now he's a billionaire.

So...how to do get to meet him? Turns out hhe does a lot of philanthropy, including funding the Thompson Global Internship program here. It's a chance for top business students to travel overseas for a few weeks in the summer to work on projects for his company. He pays travel expenses AND a salary while you work on a project and you usually get to meet him to present your results at the end of the program. It's a phenomenal opportunity you should try for.

It's open to students of all concentrations in business and they put you in teams that might have 2 MIS students and 2 finance students, for example, depending on the nature of the project. So far, the projects usually have some technology component so we have been fortunate that MIS students get a large share of the invitations.

The application period for the summer 2015 program are now open. We do not know the types of projects yet, or the locations, but Hong Kong or London are probably good bets. As in the past, we expect anywhere from 8 to 12 internships probably beginning the first of June and lasting up to 8 weeks.

If you graduated in summer or December, or will graduate this May, you are eligible. The application deadline is March 16. Though there's an outside possibility that may change, your safest course is to plan for a March 16 deadline.

NOTE: You must have a passport (valid until Feb. 2016 or 6 months after your return) in hand, and appropriate visas to return to the US if not a citizen or Greencard holder. The website with program description, requirements, etc.: http://www.sjsu.edu/cob/tgip/

The application form itself is here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1bF0oJTRUYbtkMLrpcKSTgG0IErDcsILHktM-V-Eiago/viewform

Please read the requirements carefully and if you are eligible, go for it! If you have questions, contact Jeanne Sawyer (email@example.com).Professor Tim Hillhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147394578340193807.post-91739648254128638252015-02-25T17:22:00.001-08:002015-02-25T17:29:49.057-08:00next week: cool, free visionary program on the digital economy

This looks like a really interesting program and it's being held at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View which is fabulous in and of itself. People told me for years I should go and when I finally did, I became a huge fan and regretted not going earlier. You can only really understand today's technology fully, when you see where it came from–the influences for everything that we take for granted now. Get yourself there, ASAP.

Back to this program–it sounds fascinating: "Managing Digital Assets: The Challenge of Creating and Sustaining Intangible Value in a Data-Driven Economy". It's panel reporting out a study of the implications of emerging information technologies on societies and governments–so the impact of the new stuff on the world, basically.

And the panelists are impressive:

Robin Chase, Founder, Zipcar, Buzzcar, Veniam Works,

Michael Fertik, Founder and CEO of Reputation.com,

Bill Coleman, Partner, Alsop Louie Partners, and

Vijay Sondhi, Senior Vice President, Innovation, Visa Inc.

It's free, it's close, and it's in a cool place. You can't help but learn something and see some good role models, at the very least. Smart people, important ideas. Good place to hang out for awhile.

It's next Tuesday, 8:30-10am. See more & sign up here.

Our next Free Ascent Career Series event will take place on Friday, 3/6, 1-4pm in BBC304. Our own Professor Dhar will compact two semesters worth of networking material into just three hours–take Bus111 and 115 in one afternoon! (No credit, sorry).

This is one of our "refreshers" targeted at graduating seniors looking for a "tune-up" in their MIS fundamentals ahead of interviewing for jobs this spring. It's good to have the core MIS concepts on the tip of your tongue when your favorite job opportunity is on the line. This is your chance to be ready!

Remember, you have to have a ticket to get in to these events and space is limited so be sure to get to the EventBrite page soon to sign up. Please be aware that no-shows will be barred from future events–we can't have people held out of attending by others who never really get to the event. So if you do get a ticket and something honestly comes up, then you need to cancel at the EventBrite site with enough notice that we can still fill your seat, ok? Thank you!

More events in the series are on the way. Stay tuned...

Our series kickoff event, a LinkedIn Profile Workshop (tomorrow, Friday, the 20th, 1-4pm) was sold out but a couple of last-minute cancellations have left 2 seats still open! This is a rare chance to get a valuable career-enhancing experience from a local professional that would normally come at a high price, but it's free for our students this semester, thanks to the sponsorship of the CIO Scholarship Fund. If you can really be there tomorrow (no-shows are a distinct "no-no" for this series), then go to the EventBrite signup page and grab one of these last remaining seats. Here's a little blurb about the presenter who is coming–

Sandra Clark
With more than 25 years of training experience in Silicon Valley, Sandra now specializes in providing individuals and companies with professional, customized LinkedIn workshops and coaching. Through her company, Silicon Valley Training Connect, she works with individuals from a variety of industries—including software, hardware, biotechnology, insurance, consulting, etc.—to create and manage their LinkedIn presence. Sandra also speaks frequently about LinkedIn to professional organizations in Silicon Valley.

UPDATE (Th, 10pm): It looks like those last 2 tickets have been snatched up at this point but someone may still cancel at the last minute so keep an eye out.

This series was a big hit in it's former incarnation back in 2011 and we're reviving it, after the Salesforce preview event last December, with a great lineup for this spring.
See this page at the BT250 site for details, tickets, etc.

Salesforce wants to put on something cool for SJSU students up at their HQ in San Francisco during spring break and they want to get your feedback on what exactly that should be. If you've been reading this blog at all, you know that they're very hot right now (named #1 Most Innovative company by Forbes in 2011) and probably good to know about, especially if you're an MIS student. Anyway, they're trying to reach out, asking what you would like to see & do, so let them know by taking the quick survey they've set up to get your preferences. Then keep an eye out here for the announcement & details once they're nailed down. Should be a great opportunity to actually learn something over break. (Remember, that's ok.)Professor Tim Hillhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1147394578340193807.post-30274680752673554232015-01-07T13:07:00.003-08:002015-01-07T13:07:54.390-08:00great cybersecurity opportunity for MIS student women

Here's a chance for MIS student women interested in Cybersecurity to gather with other women students, faculty and professionals in the field at a national event, sponsored by the National Science Foundation this spring in Atlanta. It's during spring break (March 27-28) so you wouldn't even have to miss classes! They did this for the first time last year (page thru the pics above) and it was a big success so they're doing it again this year.

In their blurb (pasted in below), they say that you can get a free shared hotel room if you sign up ASAP. You would still have to pay your own transportation and a registration of $50 but you would get free meals there. It looks like the airfare would be around $450 but if you're really interested, I think I could probably find some funds to help pay your way! Don't let the cost stop you. If you're interested, please let me know and I'll do my best to find a way to minimize your out-of-pocket cost, ok? But we have to move quickly.

Check out the blurb below with all the links for more info and let me know ASAP if you're interested.

The 2nd National Women in Cybersecurity conference will be held on March 27-28, Atlanta, GA.

It's ok to learn something during break. Really.

Sorry for the short notice but tonight is a great free opp to learn about IBM's cloud platform, Bluemix. Tomorrow night there's also a hands-on Bluemix workshop.

These are introductory so you don't need to know anything about it though they recommend signing up for a free trial and checking it out before you go. (It's cloud-based so nothing to install–just use your browser).

They're both held at IBM's Innovation Center up in Foster City. All SJSU MIS students are invited!

As an MIS student (and eventually a professional), you really have to strive to keep up with what's going on with technology, even ones you may never use yourself, and living here in Silicon Valley makes that a whole lot easier but only IF you take advantage of opportunities like this.

Trust me, when you're searching for your first real MIS job, you need to be able to answer questions about your passion for the technology and telling your interviewer about doing hands-on workshops at the IBM Innovation Center is going to impress.

If you go to their Bluemix Days event page, you'll see they have a bunch of Bluemix events listed, including the Bluemix Meetup tonight, Jan 7, and the Bluemix Hands-on Workshop, tomorrow night, Jan 8. Just click "enroll" to sign up. There's a slot for Company/Professional Affiliation–just select the option for Academia-student. (You might need to create a free IBM id. Not sure. But if so, it's free and no big deal.)

Notice there are also options to do live online workshops as well in case you can't make it to these or don't see this in time.

If you're serious about your career, get out and do this kind of stuff. There will be more opps like this coming up so stay tuned and make the effort to go & learn.

This looks like a really fun chance to get involved with a startup this spring. StudySoup says they're a peer-to-peer learning marketplace for college students just like you to buy/sell "high quality study materials".

You might even be a customer already, or someday. But for now, it's a chance to get inside and help them develop the business and market their service through social media–ideal for an MIS student because you're a business student, you know marketing & business, but you're tech-savvy so you know how best to leverage the technologies, like social media, to achieve business goals.

It's part-time so you can keep your classes and it's 10 weeks so it'll be over before the end-of-semester crunch. They're providing mentorship so you won't just be thrown into something with no guidance. That alone could be worth the effort, but they're paying too. And they say you can work remotely or in their cool SOMA office in San Francisco. Pretty sweet. But there's only one slot and they do want someone sharp so put on your best game when you apply.

The details, including how to apply, are pasted in below. Check it out and give it a shot. Let me know if it works out.

Hey, I'm famous! (sorta). I'm now a for real podcast guest. (Maybe I can finally get a Klout that's not below zero?)

You've probably heard of Salesforce.com by now. They've taken the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) world by storm with their cloud-based platform that businesses are using for all kinds of applications now, not just CRM. They did a hands-on tutorial last month as a preview to our upcoming Career Edge series (see my post from Nov 6) and I posted my reflections on their Dreamforce conference back on Nov 4. It's an impressive company–Forbes.com ranked it as the most innovative company in America in 2012.

I've been learning their tools myself and working on integrating some hands-on Salesforce-based lab exercises into 188, the Intro to Business Technology course we teach for all business students that are not in MIS. Anyway, Salesforce caught wind of it and invited me to be interviewed about it in an episode of their ButtonClick Admin Podcast series.

I'm mortified to hear my own voice the way other people do. Argh. But I guess most people are, too. I once heard a guy who was a fairly famous radio personality for decades say the very same thing. And he had a great voice, of course. Oh well...

So if you're an MIS student, you're probably wondering how come you don't get to learn Salesforce too? Why just the accounting, finance, marketing students, etc? Well, I'm working on it. We did run that tutorial last month so that was a brief chance, but I want to get all MIS students more exposure, so when I've polished up the labs, I'll post them here so the highly motivated among you can download & try them out on your own. And in the coming semesters, we'll probably be integrating some Salesforce exposure, here and there, into some of the MIS core and elective courses, wherever it makes sense.

Keep an eye out here for those labs to be posted here soon. Coming sometime later this spring. Maybe it will give you something to do over spring break instead of snowboarding. :-J

First one goes back to last Black Friday & reminds me of the old saying "the more things change, the more they stay the same. "

Here's an "amazin'" pic I saw in a post-Thanksgiving article on BBC.com about how Amazon UK had their busiest day on record:

Workers pack orders on the warehouse floor at the Amazon UK Fulfilment Centre in Peterborough in November. Photograph: Chris Radburn/PA

My first reaction: Organized chaos. Vast organized chaos.

My second reaction: I've seen this before...somewhere...not exactly, but...

Then it hit me–I'd been on an architectural walking tour in Chicago a few years ago and they showed us the old Montgomery Ward building on Michigan avenue. They were the Amazon of their day, but using mail and train delivery instead of the Internet & Fedex. It was 1872, for pete's sake! (14 years before Sears started up to become their rival)

By 1883 their catalog was 240 pages and offered 10,000 items!

In 1889, the cover of the catalog showed a drawing of their building with the outer walls stripped off to show the "beehive" inside–all the workers packing up all the goods for the orders–bicycles, sewing machines, clothing, dishes, etc.–just like today. Here's the picture from a site called "Chicagology":

See the resemblance?

So, Montgomery Ward was the quintessential entrepreneur that innovated the business model, not Jeff Bezos. 125 years went by and about the only thing that changed is the way people access the catalog & order, seriously!

Wikipedia tells the story:

Montgomery Ward was founded by Aaron Montgomery Ward in 1872. Ward had conceived of the idea of a dry goods mail-order business in Chicago, Illinois, after several years of working as a traveling salesman among rural customers. He observed that rural customers often wanted "city" goods but their only access to them was through rural retailers who had little competition and offered no guarantee of quality. Ward also believed that by eliminating intermediaries, he could cut costs and make a wide variety of goods available to rural customers, who could purchase goods by mail and pick them up at the nearest train station.

And get this–he introduced the phrase "satisfaction guaranteed or your money back" to the world and how many times have you seen that since?

They ruled for decades but they basically died in 2000. Amazon will die too someday, hard as it is to believe now. Bound to happen someday.

Anyway, it turns out Montgomery Ward was also a great guy & he basically, single-handedly saved Chicago's Lake Michigan waterfront from being totally developed for business. There's a vast beautiful park there today, thanks to his efforts. Here's me standing under the crazy & stunning, giant mirror-covered bean in the park:

Yeah, it's shaped like a giant kidney bean!

You can see my reflection above me, in the mirror, reversed. But I digress...

Anyway, just a little history repeating for you. Hope you have a great 2015. Cheers.

No doubt you heard about the big techs like Google & Apple admitting their workplace diversity is woefully lacking. Most recently Amazon joined their ranks, too. They cite a number of reasons–for one thing, the tech-related programs like Computer Science, all over the country and including our very own MIS program here at SJSU, don't attract many women, try as we might. Just doesn't happen. But we're all trying.

One great example is Acxiom. They've just announced a pretty cool program to help support groups that have been historically under-represented in the information technology workforce–they're offering five scholarships for students in MIS, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, etc.–$5000, renewable up to 1 year and they can come with paid internships on top of the cash!

I don't know that much about the company but they say they're constantly being ranked as among the best to work at and I admire their commitment to actively strive for diversity with a program like this. Definitely worth putting in your app if you meet the criteria. Check their web page describing the program, including the requirements and application processs.

Note the deadline of December 31st. $5000 would make a great start to the new year...Professor Tim Hillhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

Building Buffalo with New York Works
January 13, 2012
In light of last week's job numbers, Wonkblog's Ezra Klein asked what Washington should be doing to boost the economy. Infrastructure investment, he said, is the "obvious winner." He is not alone. Economists, policy makers and politicians (on both sides of the aisle) agree that a pretty good bet for positive economic growth is investment in infrastructure. With all of this (rare) agreement on an investment target, what is Washington doing to encourage infrastructure investment? So far, not much.

The bomber carried balloons. They were silver and purple, and when he stepped inside the parking garage, they flitted and danced around his head—obscuring his face, as well as his intentions. It was October 2008, just after 4:30 on a Wednesday afternoon, and the workers in the office tower above the garage in suburban St. Louis were still at their desks. Only surveillance cameras saw the man with the balloons as he hurriedly walked to the parking space marked "654," knelt down, and placed a wicker basket next to the driver's side door of a late model Acura TL.

By all rights, tonight's gubernatorial debate in New York should've been a daffy three-ring circus—even by the abysmal standards of the 2010 midterms. Put aside, for a moment, Republican candidate Carl Paladino's well-known penchant for emailing bestiality porn to his friends and uttering physical threats to reporters.

October 14, 2010
NEW YORK —Having long been one of the proud tough guys of New York politics, Andrew Cuomo, the state's attorney general, finds himself with a Republican opponent in this year's governor's race who makes him look like St. Francis of Assisi. To call Carl Paladino brash and a loudmouth understates the case.

Some 40-odd years ago, Chuck Schumer was my student. A few years after that, I became his student. No, not in a formal classroom sense, but in the political dimension. If you watch him, you learn a lot. He's a stand-up liberal, a New York liberal at that. But he is also an effective liberal, which means he sometimes compromises--a sin on the Upper West Side, where politics often means that you shouldn't compromise ... ever. At 23, Chuck ran for the New York State Assembly and won. Then he went to the House of Representatives and, in 1998, to the U.S.

B&B San Lorenzo - Florence
- Free WiFi
- Airport within 5 mi/8 km: Florence (FLR-Peretola)
Located right in the center of historic Florence, the San Lorenzo B&B offers great value for money and benefits from an excellent location surrounded by the city's main sights and attractions. This central Florence bed and breakfast is right next door to the Laurentian Library and Basilica di San Lorenzo, placing history aficionados and those seeking culture very close to some of the city's highlights.

The Santa Maria Novella train station is an 11-minute walk away from your Florence B&B—from here there are many connections to other major Italian cities.
This contemporary bed and breakfast features a bright and inviting style, including warm color tones and abstract paintings on the walls. You'll be able to holiday alongside your furry friends as the B&B allows small pets at no extra cost.

The Government Shutdown and Tufts Boston
By Kathryn Houk On October 3, 2013 · Leave a Comment · In Uncategorized
Here are a few quick informational tidbits on how the government shutdown may affect you and your research:
- HNRCA is closed
- PubMed, Ovid, NIH Reporter, NCBI, the CDC, Agricola and other databases relying on government data are not being updated and are not able to respond to inquiries
- DOCLINE is down (no direct ordering of articles from PubMed/NLM)
- Data.gov and other non-essential websites are shut down, for accessing data, try Data Citation Index through Web of Knowledge
- Many government services are not being maintained or no longer allow access. Resources like PubMed are still running, but not being updated; and if hacked or broken, they may not be fixed in a timely manner. The libraries subscribe to many databases that provide access to the same information, but will be maintained and staffed since they are not government-run. For more on alternative resources to use in order to access government information, see the Tisch Library guide here: http://researchguides.library.tufts.edu/govshutdown

Advisory Quest Program Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks. I interviewed at EY (Houston, TX).
45 phone interview with experienced consultant to begin the process. Phone interview was very relaxed and conversational. Was called back 1-2wks later to say I had made it through to the final round of interviews. Final round was 10days later and included 2 behavioral interviews and a case study each 45mins-1hr.

I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EY (Dallas, TX) in October 2013.
Applied on campus and got an interview. First round went well, and the interview was super relaxed and conversational. There were no interview questions, they just talked with you to see how well your communication skills are. For instance, me and my interviewer talked about video games and other common interests. For the second round, the flew us to D.C. Had two behavioral interviews with two managers, and then a case interview with a partner. The case for the business track was SUPER easy and needs only common sense. The technology track case was pretty hard from what I heard though, so your preperation depends on what track your applying for. Super nice people at EY. This was my first case and I was so nervous. The partner sensed this and talked to me about random things for 15 minutes to ease my mind before we started!

Advisory Quest Program InterviewNo OfferNeutral ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at EY.
I first met with EY during the career fair. Spent a good amount of time with those who were already in the program that I ended up applying for. Dropped my resume through my schools career site, and got selected for a first round interview. (I know this sounds complacent but my resume is strong enough that I haven't been needing a cover letter to get an interview with top companies) I was then asked to provide a writing assessment (my prompt was to write an essay within 45 minutes that describes a major financial event within the past 5 years and discuss stipulations of the industry). I actually did struggle with it a bit, but in the end I was able to write a thorough essay that I was okay with submitting. Not too many days later was the actual interview ( I did get invited to attend pre-night but unfortunately couldnt accommodate it because of my work schedule) I came in about 15 minutes prior to the interview where it was PACKED with candidates looking to fill positions they were hiring for that day. (I have a feeling that they accepted everyone who wanted to interview.) Anyway, before interviews I usually like to get myself into a mindset, think about my preparation etc....But in the room, there were also a lot of entry-level EY staff there. So, I had someone just conversing with me prior to interviewing. He then made the arrangement for me to meet with my interviewer. (who btw didnt show up to pre-night either) During the interview itself, the senior manager was running a little late but we ended up conversing for an hour. (the interview time was for 45 minutes) The questions he asked me were a bit sneaky (asking me how I became interested in EY). But oddly enough, our conversation was about the company I worked in than anything else. (for ex, what my company has done in terms of innovation wtf) A lot of it was actually him showing off how knowledgeable he is (I was very impressed though!) He also asked me if I get paid for my current job. Okay. Many times he said that things that I had done on my resume would make me a great fit for EY. Overall, he seemed very positive and I legitimately thought that I had secured a second round interview. Apparently, his recommendation and my writing sample were the criteria used to determine the second round candidates. So exactly a week later, I just got a standard 'there are limited candidates, thanks for your interest in EY" letter What really bothers me is the 'fakeness' of EY employees, when I first stepped in the interview process I just felt like an animal being prepped for slaughter if that makes sense. if there are any concerns about my candidacy Id really like to have a chance to defend myself instead of listening to unabashed enthusiasm about how I would fit in with EY. Apparently not everything is 'peachy'
Interview Questions
- Nothing really. The first interview should be a breeze and checks things such as your personality, interest in company, etc. Answer Question

It really is my favorite time of the year. Its obviously the offseason. Its whats our life blood for personnel people and its really the last opportunity where were going to see the draft class be in pads and actually playing football. From this point on, its Olympics in shorts from that standpoint. Its really one of your first opportunities to be in a meeting room with the players and get to know them personally a little bit. Youve heard a lot about them and this opportunity gives us a great perspective of whats going to be in the draft this year. So its an exciting time for us.

Detica, of Arlington, Virginia, protests the award of a task order to CNA Corporation, of Arlington, Virginia, under request for quotations (RFQ) No. HSFEEM-08-Q-0034, issued by the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), for services in connection with developing the strategic preparedness analysis reporting (SPAR) resource program. Detica asserts that CNA has an impermissible organizational conflict of interest (OCI), that one of the agency's evaluators was biased in favor of CNA, and that the agency misevaluated quotations and made an unreasonable source selection decision.

Just returned from Marrakech and ate at Le Jardin 3 times in 6 days. We often saw the green signs around the souk directing us to Le Jardin and a thumbs up from someone in our Riad made us give them a try after a hammam one afternoon. The food on offer is a mix between traditional Moroccan dishes and Western fare. This was the only place we visited during our stay that could give us a good, authentic pigeon pastilla - delightful alongside a 'souk salad' and a couple of glasses of rose. On a second visit we again had the pastilla, salad and mozzarella with a lovely bottle of Moroccan Pinot Gris. On our third visit we were after some Western food and had spinach ravioli and a mozzarella/pasta/pesto pasta bake and a nice bottle of Syrah.
Service was perfectly fine, food was reliable as per the title and price not too bad....£7/8 main courses. Did terrace and ground floor - ground floor cosier! The only issue they seem to have is with the options of beer and wine; they seem to run out quite quickly, particularly of the local Casablanca beer and some of the wine options.

Friday August 29, 2014 MYT 3:59:13 PM
PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal ruled Friday that Bintulu Member of Parliament Datuk Seri Tiong King Sing could not appeal against a High Court ruling which dismissed his application to compel a reporter to disclose sources in an article he had written.
Justice Datuk Azahar Mohamed, chairing a Court of Appeal three-member panel, said Tiong's appeal against the July 31, 2013 High Court decision was incompetent because the subject matter was a procedural ruling and not a judgment of the court under Section 67 of the Courts of Judicature Act 1964.
"For this reason, this appeal filed against the ruling is incompetent and non-appealable," he said, dismissing Tiong's appeal.
He then fixed Sept 5 for parties in the case to appear before High Court Judge Lau Bee Lan for case management to set a date to resume the hearing of a defamation suit which Tiong had filed against former MCA president Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat.
The panel, which also comprised Datuk Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat and Datuk Hamid Sultan Abu Backer, also ordered Tiong to pay RM10,000 in legal costs to journalist Joseph Sipalan and RM5,000 in costs to Ong.
Following this decision, the ruling by the High Court that Sipalan did not have to disclose the sources for the article was maintained.
Tiong had applied to the High Court to make an order compelling Sipalan to disclose his sources for the article he wrote with the heading, "Chua and Tiong in cahoots" which was published in the New Sunday Times on Sept 6, 2009.
On July 31, 2013, the High Court dismissed Tiong's application, ruling that Sipalan did not have to disclose his sources.
In her ruling, Justice Lau Bee Lan held that it was in her view that it would be more in the public interest for the court not to order Sipalan to reveal his sources.
In her grounds of judgment, Lau gave six reasons on why the court had decided not to order Sipalan to reveal his sources, and among the reasons was that he had given an undertaking to preserve confidentiality in relation to the sources of information.
Tiong had originally filed the suit on Oct 12, 2009. He named The New Straits Times Press Bhd, its former group editor Datuk Syed Nadzri Syed Harun, Sipalan and Ong as defendants, but later withdrew his claim against NSTP, Syed Nadzri and Sipalan.
Lawyer Bhag Singh appeared for Sipalan, while counsel Chan Tse Yuen represented Ong.

Thanks for the question. Yes, we've had some crews out at the Oak Hill Park Community Center over the past few days. They've been working on an automatic door opener for the front of the building in order to make Oak Hill more ADA friendly.
They've also been replacing some of the wooden doors out there with steel doors. The wooden doors were not standing up well to the constant use of the facility, and the steel doors will last longer and have a greater useful life.
The work is being funded through the Town's Capital Improvement Program.
Hope this helps, thanks again for the question.
Have a good day!

Recent Rome reviews
"By reading the reviews you will see that the location of this apartment is perfect, walking distance of the Colosseum and everything you need close by. Spacious rooms and everything you need for a comfortable stay in Rome. This is all very true. I want to stress out the fact that the owners went out of their way to accomodate us while staying there. We stayed at 2 apartments that were quite close from eachother (move was planned) and Paolo arranged to have our (rather heavy) luggage moved from one to the other. Amazing service and excellent communication. Oh and he also arranged a taxi service to take us to the airport when came time to leave. Rent without hesitation, you will be pleased. Thanks again Paolo for a memorable stay! When we come back, I will look for your apartments for sure!"Guest: Daniel T. Date of Stay: August 2015 Review Submitted: September 1, 2015View listing

Enthusiastic amateur - every since I wrote my first program, which generated a magic square of arbitrary odd order. I did this in 1975, with the help of a library book on ALGOL 68, and without access to a computer. Eventually I enlisted the help of a student next door, who took my handwritten code, converted it to punch cards, and ran it on the University computer... The next week, he returned with the printout of a 49x49 magic square - and so a passion was born. Spending more time on physics.SE these days. Still - #SOreadytohelp
