Julia Gillard joins 7.30
Political Editor Chris Uhlmann spoke to Prime Minister Julia Gillard in Brisbane, where she has been touring flood-damaged suburbs.
LEIGH SALES, PRESENTER: In Brisbane, the Prime Minister's been touring flood-damaged suburbs amid continued speculation about the upcoming Budget and recent public comments of her predecessor Kevin Rudd. Julia Gillard spoke to 7.30's political editor Chris Uhlmann a short time ago.
CHRIS UHLMANN, REPORTER: Julia Gillard, welcome to 7.30.
JULIA GILLARD, PRIME MINISTER: Thankyou very much, Chris.
CHRIS UHLMANN: You've revisited places you saw devastated just three months ago. What was that like?
JULIA GILLARD: It was a tremendous opportunity to be out talking to people and my overwhelming sense is whilst there's a lot of fighting spirit there, there's a lot of hurt too. It is a long journey back for people and I've had the opportunity yesterday and today to talk to people in Dalby and Toowoomba, people from the Lockyer Valley, people in Goodna. So, it's been a great opportunity to catch back up, see how people are going and I very much valued it. It is tough out there, but people are taking it a step at a time and rebuilding their lives and we'll be there with them as they do it.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Now the Government's been here talking to people, but you've been quite critical of some members of the insurance industry; you've called them cowardly. Why?
JULIA GILLARD: I've called them cowardly because there was a special opportunity created yesterday for members of the insurance industry to come and front Queenslanders in Ipswich and actually address people's complaints and I think they should have taken that opportunity. It can be, you know, difficult sitting there talking to people who have got criticisms, but it's the right thing to do, to front people and explain why you've made the decisions you have and the insurance companies refused to do that yesterday. I did think that was cowardly.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Now, the devastation in Queensland will have an effect on your Budget. You've seen revenues collapse through your company tax receipts. You've made it quite clear that this is going to be a tough budget. Are you going to target welfare in this budget? Do you think that there are too many people on welfare?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, we are committed to rebuilding Queensland and around the nation, so money has been allocated for that. I announced our $5.6 billion package to do just that and we've spent almost a billion dollars here in Queensland on individual payments already. And there is a tough environment in many senses, apart from natural disasters here, with all of the economic loss of revenue that that causes. We've had implications for our economy from Japan. And whilst the mining sector is booming, other parts of the economy are quite flat, and that's hit into company tax receipts.
But my purpose in talking about participation for the Budget is really a purpose about spreading opportunity in this country. I wanna make sure that Australians who can work do have the opportunity to work and that we get people into work.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Sure.
JULIA GILLARD: That's about giving life chances.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Certainly, but one of the things that you're going to have to do is move people off things like disability pensions, aren't you?, and you intend to do that. How many people do you intend to move off and what do you intend to save by doing that?
JULIA GILLARD: I've talked about participation consistently; this has been a theme of mine, and I've said we face some formidable challenges. There are around two million Australians who are not in the full-time workforce, above and beyond those who are officially registered as unemployed. Now I understand that there are a whole set of individual circumstances for those Australians, but for Australians who can work, I believe we should have those Australians working. It's going to take a lot of policy innovation to do that. It is a formidable policy challenge. As a government we've made a start and in the Budget I want to do more.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Sure. Can we put some flesh on the bones about that though? Are you talking about disability pensions? Are you talking about moving people off disability pensions?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, I'm talking about creating a circumstance where we're building a bridge to employment for people through more training, more skills and making sure that people are motivated ...
CHRIS UHLMANN: And fewer people on welfare?.
JULIA GILLARD: Well, inevitably, that would cause fewer people on welfare, because given the choice, I wanna see people in the workforce, not on welfare. We do have to build those bridges into the workforce, give people the skills and training they need to get a job opportunity.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Prime Minister, have you always and consistently, publicly and privately, supported a price on carbon?
JULIA GILLARD: I've always believed we had to price carbon in order to tackle climate change, absolutely.
CHRIS UHLMANN: And Kevin Rudd says that you didn't at one stage, that you urged him to abandon the former ETS scheme.
JULIA GILLARD: Well, look, I understand that people will focus on some of this history, but, Chris, if I'd wanted a history job, I would have become a historian and studied the relevant qualifications.
CHRIS UHLMANN: It is history and Kevin Rudd is a primary source and this isn't in dispute now; Kevin Rudd says that's what you did. Is that what you did?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, Chris, I've always been very clear that I'm not going to talk publicly about confidential discussions between Cabinet colleagues.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Yet he has.
JULIA GILLARD: But I've also been very clear, Chris, and I'm happy to be very clear again: I believe climate change is real, I've always believed climate change was real, that we needed to tackle it by pricing carbon and I am committed to getting that done, and we will do that from 1st July next year.
CHRIS UHLMANN: As I say, Prime Minister, this confidential conversation has been revealed by Kevin Rudd and his take on it is that you and Wayne Swan urged him to abandon his carbon pollution reduction scheme. Is that the case? In private when things got hard, did you decide that you should cut and run from that?
JULIA GILLARD: Look, Chris, I'm absolutely determined to price carbon. I'm not going to go over past conversations ...
CHRIS UHLMANN: So the answer is yes, that you did?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, no, the answer is the answer I'm giving you and you should ...
CHRIS UHLMANN: Unless you correct the record. Well, is the record - he mentioned it in private.
JULIA GILLARD: Look, I'll leave the history to you. My focus is on making sure that we price carbon so that we have a clean energy economy for the future with all of the jobs and prosperity that comes with that and so we are doing the right thing to cut carbon pollution and tackle climate change. I'm not gonna canvass confidential discussions between colleagues.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Prime Minister, are you pleased with the Foreign Minister's performance this week?
JULIA GILLARD: Look, I understand that Kevin was asked on Q&A some questions about that period of his prime ministership and he answered them.
CHRIS UHLMANN: And did he tell the truth?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, what's been less reported, Chris, is that he was also asked about his work now and made it very clear that he's got his shoulder to the wheel pressing the policies and plans of this Government out there arguing for them, and that's exactly what I expect my ministers to do.
CHRIS UHLMANN: The question was: are you happy with his performance this week?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, look, I've just and the question. I expect my ministers to be out there arguing for the Government's policies and plans and Kevin Rudd was doing that on Monday night.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Kevin Rudd said today, "As a former prime minister, I will speak as appropriate to make sure the record is straight." Are you happy with that as Prime Minister?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, what I want my ministers to be doing, Kevin included, and he was doing this on Monday night, when you look at all of the questions that he fielded, is I want them to be out there explaining to the Australian community the Government's policies and plans. He said Monday night he'll have his shoulder to the wheel doing that. That's a great thing.
CHRIS UHLMANN: He has. And this week he's sucked the oxygen out of the campaign that you had for this week on the carbon tax and he's opened up the questions that the Liberal Party want opened up: what do you stand for and can you be trusted? So he's done you some great damage this week.
JULIA GILLARD: Well, I'm very clear about what I stand for and I'm very clear about my focus on the future of this country on creating an Australia where we fairly distribute opportunity, where people don't get left behind, for example on welfare, when they've got the ability to work and we as a nation tackle the challenges of the future and there's no bigger one than climate change and pricing carbon, which I'm determined to get done.
CHRIS UHLMANN: And one last one on this: do you trust the Foreign Minister?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, of course, Kevin is part of my team.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Why, after this week?
JULIA GILLARD: Oh, well, Chris, I'll leave the political commentary and hyperbole to you. Kevin Rudd went on an ABC show on Monday night. On that show he advocated for the Government's policies. That is what I expect my ministers to do and Kevin Rudd was doing it.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Now you said in a speech that you gave recently that the Greens would never embrace Labor's delight in the Australian values that you shared. What did you mean by that?
JULIA GILLARD: Well, exactly what those words do mean. I was obviously referring to the Greens' political party. I know there's been some misreading of these comments to suggest that I was referring to every person who votes Green. But my point there was Labor is a mainstream political party, a mainstream political party that always wants to be and indeed delights in being the voice of everyday Australians and in touch with their values. The Greens, they started on a different journey, a journey about the environment. I understand that, but our journey as a mainstream political party has been, for more than 100 years now, giving political voice to the aspirations of Australians right around this country, ordinary, hard-working Australians, people who need a job, need a pay packet, worry about the bills, want their kids to go to a great school, wanna know that the hospital's there when they need it.
CHRIS UHLMANN: Prime Minister, we'll have to leave it there, but thankyou.
JULIA GILLARD: Thankyou.

Depression, anxiety, and other mental conditions in the workplace have both legal (ADA) and human implications. Here are two programs to help deal with them.
The recent violence-driven emphasis on dealing with mental health issues in the workplace has again put HR on the spot. How does a company deal with disabilities that are frequently invisible and undetectable, and often hidden by the employee involved, until an incident occurs?
The challenges are both legal and human-centered. Fortunately, there are programs to deal with both facets of the problem.
The legal side involves compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Under the ADA, mental illness is a disability no less than is a physical illness, and those who suffer from it are entitled to the same rights, which means their employers must meet the same obligations.
The problem with the ADA, in the opinion of many, is its vagueness … the product of trying to write a law that fits all situations and, in doing so, omitting specifics for any one. EEOC has, however, given some guidance on dealing with what it calls "psychiatric disabilities." Here's a quick summary from BLR's comprehensive reference for dealing with the ADA, The Complete Guide to ADA Compliance.
–All mental problems are not disabilities under the ADA. Bipolar disorder, major depression, anxiety disorders, and other conditions that affect one or more major life activities are among those considered covered. Sexual behavior disorders, compulsive gambling, and disorders created by illegal drug use are among those that are not.
–Stress on its own is not a covered disability. But it can be if a by-product of other disabilities.
–There are many reasonable accommodations available for mental disorders. These include measures such as changing hours or allowing use of accrued leave for treatment or recovery, or transfer into another equivalent pay and status position that is less impacted by the condition.
–Employer responsibilities for reasonable accommodation do not include meeting all the employee's needs. For example, employers are not responsible for medication being taken as prescribed.
The Complete Guide to ADA Compliance goes far deeper into all aspects of the ADA, including how to make sure your policies, procedures, and operations meet the law's complex guidelines, and how the ADA interacts with other key laws, including the FMLA, workers' compensation, and relevant state statutes of all 50 states. If you've never evaluated your program against ADA mandates, we highly recommend this program.
Evaluate The Complete Guide to ADA Compliance free for 30-days. Click here for info.
Handling the Human Side: EAPs
From the human standpoint, many employers recognize that any condition that hinders performance harms not only the worker but also organizational productivity. In fact, some studies show as much as $7,500 a year of productivity lost per worker suffering a mental health-related condition.
One strategy to forestall this is an Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which usually relies on contracted, off-site professionals to offer confidential counseling and referrals. Expert opinion is that an EAP can reduce absenteeism and tardiness by up to 10 percent, and increase productivity up to 25 percent. EAPs, of course, may not be able to help the most severe cases, but they often can assist the individual and his or her family in finding appropriate help.
To further acquaint you with EAPs, BLR will hold a special EAP audio conference on May 30. Presenters will be William R. Heffernan and James B. Wallace, both executives of national EAP providers. Their discussion will include how to select EAP providers, and the legal and operational aspects of implementing an EAP in your workplace. They'll also offer metrics to measure effectiveness.
Both The Complete Guide to ADA Compliance and the EAP audio conference are offered on a satisfaction assured basis. The book may be tried free for 30 days. The conference fee is fully refundable, if dissatisfied in any way. A CD is available for those unable to listen in on that day.
For more information, or to order either of these programs, click the links below.
ADA? EAPs?

Despite a growing state fiscal crisis, Illinois lawmakers greatly accelerated a spending spree on pet projects in the months leading up to the fall elections, and they are in a rush to cram in more before Gov. George Ryan leaves office in January.
House and Senate members asked for at least $215 million in new taxpayer-funded pork barrel grants from July through mid-November. That is $17 million more than they launched in the previous 12 months, according to records from the state agency that oversees the majority of the member initiatives.

I wonder what this could be about.
You know when you realise something, and it hits you so strongly you just stop? Your stomach swoops, your heart skips, and at the same time your head becomes as light as a feather?
That happened yesterday. It wasn't a very nice realisation… or it was… I'm struggling to decide really. Anyway, that happened and it's changed my outlook I feel.
What was this wondrous occurrence… well, I've not been great for a fair while now, I'm depressed as hell, I'm far more anxious and I'm fed up of living. I've been walking around at night just thinking, and last night was pretty pretty bad. I'm meeting my friend who found this today, and I feel sick, I don't know what he wants to talk about but I feel it can't be good. Anyway, the old question of 'Could I killed myself tonight?' went around my head, and it responded with 'No, you have rehearsal tomorrow, on Tuesday you're going to an opera with your best friend, on Wednesday you're seeing band again, Thursday you have another rehearsal, Friday you have a psychology appointment, and you're in a theatre this weekend, not a good week.'. I then thought to myself 'But you said things like that the last time'.
Then the stomach swooping happened. The only reason I haven't done anything serious is because I've had things to do and people to see. Literally. If I'm honest, it's mostly been band when I think back, but the principle stands.
I haven't tried to kill myself because there's always been someone.
That's all its needed, one person. Sure, I imagine people will go 'Oh, you can't have been serious', and I can't answer that because it never came to trying. All I know is the mere thought of these people, and the effort they put in to my life has stopped any contemplation of it for a time.
I found that incredible, and they'll never know. They can never understand how much they mean to me. I knew for certain there was a group of them who have saved my life, but now I've a strong feeling that, even if they don't know it, they all have.
Close your eyes. Think of everyone you love. Think of anything in your diary, anything you've got to do, whether it's meeting friends, housework, a job, school, family events… just think of it. Tell yourself you've got these things to do. Do them. Let yourself enjoy them.
Reconsider. Always reconsider.

I just can't wrap my head around why this type of thing is so common. Not hitting women is as basic a rule to me as looking both ways before you cross the street. I know it's just one of those things that gets passed down through behavioral exposure, but you would think getting a college education and being out in the world would help some of these athletes at least to wise up. Nothing is worth getting that worked up over. That said, the most surprising thing to me in this article is that Terrell is only 33?? It seems like ages ago that he was playing for us, but he apparently only retired 6 years ago. The RR years were long. Might just be me.
"The RR years were long."
Um, WTF?
Terrell's last season at UMich was 2000. (He left early.) That leaves how many seasons between then and now?
'01, '02, '03, '04, '05, '06, '07, '08, '09, '10, and '11.
I count eleven, which break down like this:
* Carr: 7
* RichRod: 3
* Hoke: 1
Did you just want to take an extra shot at Rodriguez? If so, I guess I'd understand. He hurt a lot of feelings around here and screwed up the defense. (The offense, too, depending on whom you ask ...) Look at the bright side, though: We wound up with Hoke, who appears to have unlimited upside. We could be stuck with a flunkie like DeBord. (Seriously -- that parallel universe is interesting.)
I must have the don't beat women class when I was at Michigan.
College education has nothing to do with it. It's a common law like don't steal shit or don't use your house a meth lab.
I think it has a lot to do with how much liquor is in their system. Most people know not to hit women, not flip police cars and not piss themselves too, but after a bottle of whiskey some dudes just lose their shit.
about D Terrell.
Side note: Is his attorney really named Shady Yassin?? An attorney whose first name is Shady? I'm guessing it's not pronounced Shady, as in Slim Shady, but still awesome.
Maybe it's pronounced "sha-day", like Target is pronounced "Tar-jay".
Lol it's actually pronounced Sha-Dy. Like the "Sha" from "shall" and then "dy."
Terrell's attorney is proclaiming he will prove his client's innocence. I learned a long time ago to let these things play out in court before assuming anything.
but what else is his attorney going to say..."I'm plan on proving my clients guilt."? I try to live by that as well (the whole innocent until proven guilty) but that is a rule for the justice system and forcing people to take the same approach just won't happen in many cases. With the media such as it is today most people have made up their minds about whether a person is guilty or innocent long before they even stand trial. It's just the way things are these days. I don't agree with it, but it is what it is...
Can you think of a worse name for a defense attorney..............Shady Yassin.....
Three big mistakes here:
1. Terrell being in this situation at all is terrible and lacks character
2. Terrell hiring an attorney whose name is Shady
3. rob f thinking that it is note worthy that Terrell attorney is proclaiming innocence.
I don't get the need to hit women or try to force them into something........if she wants to leave sure grabbing her and hitting her is going to fix it. If she blew your cash hitting her is sure going to fix that as well, it will get all your cash right back.......................dude, get away from her if she is causing this much issue in your life.

Another incorrect use of ellipses. Periods are a solid way to seperate thoughts.
I'm guessing she told him he was lying about having "the bomb ass dick".
is this the same story i was told about braylon in a west quad dorm room?
I'm going to go high road on this one:
a) presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law before a jury of his peers
b) if guilty then a man cannot be seen as potentially beyond redemption; accordingly, one would like to see him get the help he needs if not just for himself but also for his younger relations
Is he still with the Bears?
He hasn't been in the NFL since 2007 I believe. I think the Bears cut him sometime in 2004 or 2005.
You missed the sarcasm...
Just another reason people need to drop the whole "Michigan Man" thing.
April 16th, 2012 at 10:06 AM ^
I'm thinking there are hundreds of thousands of Michigan alumni that would disagree with you, but I'm interested in reading an explanation of your comment...
April 16th, 2012 at 12:55 PM ^
In basketball, the guy who made the free throws to win a national championship swindled his adoptive mother out of her home and has been convicted of a number of fraud/conspiracy federal charges. We ran a program under two coaches for more than a decade where shady boosters were welcomed in, treated like kings by the coaching staff, and given virtually unlimited access to the program (which they then used to put pretty much every player on their payroll), yet are convinced that countless other successful programs are paying every player who decides to commit there.
In football we've had guys take money from agents, smack around their girlfriends, break bottles over people's heads, flash their dick at random passers by, get suspended for smoking a forest of weed, and pick up convictions for ultra-dangerous DUIs (i.e. BAC up around .25). At least half those guys are considered heroes of the program by a sizeable chunk of the fanbase.
We've had a number of fantastic people don the maize and blue, but most if not all of them would have been fantastic people no matter what school they went to (and virtually every big time athletic program has a long list of fantastic human beings who have come through its doors). We also have our share of bad behavior and downright despicable human beings who have enjoyed athletic success in their time at UM. Yet our fanbase likes to pat itself on the back for doing things "the right way" and badmouth all the "shady" programs out there (usually the ones that beat us on the field). The term "Michigan Man" is mostly used as self-congratulatory bullshit so fans/alums can take credit for a particular person being awesome, and to distance ourselves from those players who have disappointed us (usually ones who transfer, leave school early, or don't get along with a coach, very rarely those who excel on the field but act like assholes off it).
Michigan is a wonderful school that I'm enomoursly proud to have graduated from. It has a fantastic athletic history and heritage as well. But mere association with the school doesn't confer excellence. If the definition of a "Michigan Man" is someone who is a fantastic human being who also happens to have attended or participated in intercollegiate athletics at the University of Michigan, then it doesn't add a whole lot to the conversation as far as I'm concerned.
April 16th, 2012 at 10:08 AM ^
...we need to endow a "Legal Defense Fund" as part of the #1 jersey heritage.
Legal Defense Fund/Football Scholarship Fund for their younger brothers
Kid had so much potential, and just wasted it. Him and Charles Rogers seem to be in some type of pool to find out which early-2000 B1G receiver can waste his talents more.
He's been at several recent games. I've talked to him while tailgating last season, and he was really tolerant of fans and children approching him constantly. He was great with kids - not sure what to do with my son's facebook profile with D Terrell standing with his arm around him smiling. I know they don't want to be seen as role models, but kids naturally idealize these guys. Its a painful part of growing up, I guess, to see how complicated people really are.
David Terrell never grew up and had maturity issues. My run in with him (almost literally) was about 2 years after he left Michigan...say summer 2004ish, I was driving through downtown AA and got to a red light, to make a right turn...I was about to make the turn when a group of guys ran out in front of my car...crossing Washington St. against the light and totally blocking traffic. One of those guys was Terrell and he was acting like he was trying to be a badass with this group of guys. I almost ran in to him, but that was all on him. It seemed surprising to me that a guy who was 2 years or so in to the NFL would be acting like a jack-ass running through traffic like that.

Improvements to the A120 long overdue
The A120 is one of the most important economic corridors in the country. It links a major sea port to a major airport and connects businesses and commuters to trade and employment opportunities, yet in places it is little more than a country lane. Congestion and delays cost the economy an estimated £1.3 billion and up to 13,000 jobs.
Modernisation and improvements are long overdue, so I joined local businesses, district and county councillors to discuss these issues with the Secretary of State for Transport.Read more

text: EAB's guide to higher ed disruption Expert Perspective|November 19, 2015 Which higher education disruptors deserve our attention? Hardly a week goes by without another prediction that higher education, like other industries, is about to be disrupted. Some believe that a university education will go the way of the newspapers, replaced by the availability of free, online information. Others envision that the unbundling of higher education will resemble the music industry. Instead of investing in full degree programs, the theory goes, students will take individual online modules, mixing and matching them like a Spotify playlist. But most new unbundled models and would-be disruptors have yet to pose a significant threat to higher education. Start-ups are garnering more attention from investors, entrepreneurs, and academic leaders as more and more venture capital goes toward funding new higher education providers. How can universities cut through the noise to determine which new providers have the most potential to disrupt and which are still mostly hype? Still waiting for ed tech disruption Several years ago, most higher education innovations focused on new technologies and delivery models that promised to expand access and lower costs for students. MOOCs, the darling of 2012, promised to democratize higher education by providing free online courses to all. And MOOCs have introduced millions of students to new teachers and subject areas, all while providing new opportunities for faculty to experiment with online and hybrid learning. But recent studies of MOOCs have shown that only a small percentage of students actually complete the MOOCs they sign up for and most students who enroll in MOOCs have already earned a degree. Meanwhile, major MOOC platforms are still struggling to monetize their offerings. More on higher ed disruptors Study Understanding the MOOC Trend White Paper Three Myths about Competency-Based Education More recent enthusiasm for competency-based education (CBE) has touted its ability to lower costs and improve time-to-degree for students, potentially expanding access to new student audiences. However, EAB's recent research about the CBE business model has shown that while CBE programs have admirable pedagogical goals, in practice these programs are challenging for most institutions to execute. They are expensive to build and scale and it is difficult for students to succeed in the self-paced environment of most CBE programs without significant investments in extra support. While CBE will not unseat traditional education at most schools in the foreseeable future, early adopters are laying the groundwork for the next wave of pioneers to develop more effective CBE implementation models. New private-sector providers compete on mission and value When so-called higher ed disruptors have not yet disrupted, it is easy to say that higher education won't change dramatically. But new higher ed providers still have the potential to take off even after an initial round of innovators fizzle. In fact, it's often the early innovators who pave the way for more successful start-ups later on, just as in the development of social media the collapse of Friendster preceded the ultimate success of Facebook. How your online course development can keep up in higher ed's changing landscape Over the past few years alternative higher ed providers have evolved. Instead of competing with universities by offering lower-cost options, as MOOCs and CBE hope to do, these new providers compete directly with the core values of a traditional university education by offering in-person immersive learning, creating opportunities to grow personal and professional networks, and teaching a key tenet of the liberal arts—learning how to learn. Here are three new providers in the higher education landscape that EAB is watching: Minerva What it is: Minerva is a start-up university based in San Francisco. Students take all of their courses online in a synchronous, seminar-style format, but live together in loft-style apartments and move to a new global location each semester. Why it matters: Most of the media attention surrounding Minerva has focused on its innovative online learning platform, but its programs emphasize a global, fully residential, and immersive international experience. Minerva advertises extracurricular enrichment unique to its global locations—learning how venture capital works from a Silicon Valley start-up, for example. Instead of giving students the chance to study abroad for one or two semesters, Minerva hopes to make all four years of an undergraduate degree an international experience. See more about Minerva's global classroom Fullbridge What it is: Fullbridge is a company that helps students develop business skills in a short-term, boot-camp setting. Students can enroll in sessions directly through Fullbridge on their own, and some universities partner with Fullbridge to offer week-long sessions as required components of certificate or capstone programs. Why it matters: Fullbridge was founded with the goal of helping liberal arts students expand their career options through concrete preparation for the working world. This programming gives students an option to gain a professional edge beyond the internship opportunities and career services support traditionally provided by universities, and gives universities the option to "outsource" job readiness to a third-party provider. Learn more about how Fullbridge is making liberal arts alumni more "marketable" General Assembly What it is: General Assembly is a private-sector higher ed provider that offers short-term courses and bootcamps in technical and leadership skills like visual design, coding, and project management. Why it matters: General Assembly offers more than just training; it creates a social community and professional network for students. It hosts events at cities across the globe, teaches students how to connect to professionals in different technical fields, and even provides networking introductions for students or alumni who are looking for a job in a new city.

After perusing the lame offerings at the local cinemas, I decided to stick with the small-screen genre again this week, and fans of old-fashioned gangster stories and film noir are in for a real treat with a new miniseries on TNT.
"Mob City" is the creation Frank Darabont, who directed such terrific films as "The Green Mile" and "The Shawshank Redemption," and it's based upon John Buntin's book titled "L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America's Most Seductive City." Set primarily in Los Angeles during the 1940s and '50s, the series comprises just three two-hour episodes in telling the true (with some Hollywood license) story of Los Angeles Police Chief William Parker's (Neal McDonough) war with the Mob led by the notorious Mickey Cohen (Jeremy Luke).
A native of Brooklyn, Cohen was born on Sept. 4, 1913, but he moved to Los Angeles with his widowed mother and his two brothers, and by the time he was 9, he was sent to reform school. During his teen years he participated in illegal boxing matches, and at the age of 15 he moved to Cleveland, where he hoped to begin a career as a professional boxer, but he was never very successful at it. However, the connections he made in Cleveland helped him get into business with some real bad dudes, and he finally ended up in Chicago, where he began his life in organized crime with one of Al Capone's operations. After doing prison time for his part in killing some gangsters, he finally ended up back in Los Angeles in 1939 to work with Bugsy Siegel (Edward Burns), and this is the time period upon which "Mob City" focuses.
The first episode begins in New York with a flashback to 1925, when Bugsy and two of his buddies steal a truck loaded with liquor. Apparently the purpose of this scene is to show us Bugsy at work before he shows up in Los Angeles because we now flash forward to 1947 and meet Joe Teague (Jon Bernthal), a former Marine who is now a member of the LAPD.
Without revealing too much, I can tell you the first episode establishes Teague as the main character in the show as we see him agree to help a guy with a blackmail plot. As this storyline plays out, we learn how Siegel is involved in the whole thing, and we also find out who some of the other major characters are.
Among the recurring characters are the following: Ned Stax (Milo Ventimiglia), Cohen's lawyer who also served in the war with Teague; Jasmine Fontaine (Alexa Davalos), the obligatory siren with plenty of skeletons in her closet; Hal Morrison (Jeffrey DeMunn), the LAPD detective who heads up the mob squad; and Fletcher Bowron (Gregory Itzin), the mayor of Los Angeles.
This is a terrific ensemble cast, and each actor makes an invaluable contribution to the show, but Bernthal really nails the part of Teague, and in an online interview Darabont explained why Bernthal was his first choice for the role.
"The first time I worked with Jon, I had the thought in my head, 'If I ever get to do a noir project, I'm going to want him to play my noir hero. I'm going to want him to play my lead.' He's got that very period feel to me. He doesn't come off as a contemporary guy. Plus, he's got this tremendously quiet, masculine way about him that's not forced. It's not showboat. He's got this very testosterone kind of masculinity that's quiet and genuine, and it feels like such a throwback to me, to Robert Mitchum and John Garfield, and actors of an earlier era, who came up in tougher circumstances during the Great Depression and fought in those wars, and just had to go out and get through life, as best they could, without making a big deal out of it. He so reminds me of those guys, and those generations. So for me, it was just a self-evident marriage of a certain kind of story that I wanted to tell and this actor who would be so perfect to tell that story."
In addition to being a fascinating story about organized crime, perhaps the best thing about "Mob City" is its general aura. The show looks fabulous and captures the 1920s, '40s, and '50s perfectly. The streets are often slick with the moisture of a recent rain, the cars are beautiful, the costumes (including the ubiquitous fedoras) are superb, and the sets, especially the bars and restaurants, are exceptional. The writers also manage to achieve a great blend of drama and humor in the dialogue among the characters, and in the background of many scenes is some of the sweetest, smooth and mellow jazz you've ever heard.
Darabont decided he wanted to create the series after reading Buntin's book, and in the online interview he explained why the time period intrigues him.
"Visually, it's as unique as a science fiction movie because it was such a different world then. I've always loved it. I love the clothes. I love the cars. I love the music. It's a wonderful period to depict. It's challenging, of course, because L.A. has changed so much, but we're finding those little corners and those little pockets of the old stuff. Then, thankfully, with some careful digital trickery and effects, we can enhance the era and make it ever more convincing. I love it. I've always loved the noir genre because it's got an air of dangerous stakes and desperation. Everybody's got an angle, and there are dangerous women. You don't know if they're on your side or not. I always have loved that kind of storytelling, and it's just a pleasure to roll around in it."
Although the final episode of "Mob City" will air Wednesday at 9 p.m. on TNT, I think the show is much too good to be dropped. It's a great period piece in the tradition of "The Untouchables," and if it has any weakness at all it may be that some of the flashback transitions could cause a bit of confusion. Nevertheless, this is another in the increasing examples of just how good television is these days. Give "Mob City" a solid eight and don't miss it.

|With Elder Fleming
|Cute boy in Suriname
|Pres,. Gonzalez came to the Zone Conference
|Normal Suriname food
Wij ook hadden een goed week! This week we had a lot of exciting stuff happen. We met some more cool people, I got a new companion, and a general authority visited Suriname all this past week.
I'll start off with my new companion. My new companion is Elder Fleming, from Layton, UT. He is awesome to work with! He's super excited to be a missionary and loves Suriname! He's played soccer throughout High School, so he'll fit right in with Suriname's top pass time (playing soccer).
We also had a general authority come visit this week. President Gonzales is the area president of the Caribbean area, and he and his wife were in Suriname this past week. We had a zone conference with them and for 4 hours the two of them taught us about baptism, the importance to baptise, and how to extend a baptismal invitation.
...Then President Gonzales announced some very exciting news! He told us about the Caribbean Area's desire to establish a stake in Suriname! It would be the second stake in the Lesser Antilles, or the southern half of the Caribbean. He then told us that the whole purpose of the Zone Conference was to lift our expectations of baptisms in Suriname. He then challenged us to triple the number of baptisms in Suriname in order to create the stake in the next few years. His pep-talk he gave us has us all more ambitious than ever to baptise!
And to go right along with that, we've been able to meet some really cool people this last week. Among which was a young man who randomly came to church without meeting the missionaries. His friend invited him to church and he came! We're going to go over to teach him tonight. Chandra is doing well, we just had to postpone her baptismal date to the 10th of december because of the business of everything lately. Peter is also doing really well. He came to a fireside the President Gonzales gave and really liked it. He's reading in the Book of Mormon a lot. (I think he's finished with Alma now).
Here is a wonderful scripture to go along with that theme. Mormon 9:21 Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ,doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth... 28 Be wise in the days of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God.
Other then that... it's been a pretty normal week here in Paramaribo... haha we had a lot of stuff happen this week. I hope you all have another fantastic week!
Ik hou van jullie!!!

Dallas Mavericks Team Report – November 3
=== Dallas Mavericks Team Report – November 3 ===
(Sports Network) – The Dallas Mavericks play their second of the 2004-05
regular season tonight, as they visit the Hornets at the New Orleans Arena.
New Orleans will compete in the Southwest Division this season, as the Hornets
became the newest member of the Western Conference when the expansion
Charlotte Bobcats were placed in the East, giving each conference 15 clubs

played all but five minutes and finished with a game-high 33 points along with
10 rebounds to lead the Mavericks over the Sacramento Kings, 107-98, at
American Airlines Center.
Michael Finley added 18 points and six boards for Dallas, which avenged a
first-round loss in last season's playoffs to the Kings. Devin Harris, a
rookie who took over for Steve Nash running the offense, had eight points and
seven assists in his debut.
The Mavericks have won five of their last six season-openers and six straight

At least when it comes to the holidays. When I was a kid, Christmas gifts were a careful combination of fun toys and practical clothing. Underwear never held the same appeal as a guitar or a toy pony, but it was reliably there every year. So in that spirit, I've bought each of my immediate family members two gifts: the one they want, and the one I think they need. That's right. I think they need poetry. Why? Well, not because I'm trying to recruit new readers, or convert my family into poetry lovers, though that would be nice. No, this is a selfish gift: I figure if I can introduce my family members to some contemporary poetry, I might slowly have to stop fielding questions about what it is exactly that I am writing. If my well-intentioned family can actually get a sense of what I am studying, they might not think I am putting them off. It might make future holiday dinners less awkward, as I try to contextualize why I am writing poetry for a thesis, and what that has to do with dialects spoken in other parts of the world. My parents have read most of my thesis and scholarship proposals (protip: getting a non-specialist to read those applications can help avoid the jargon problem. My parents might not know a lot about literature, but they're smart people, and their questions about "what does that mean, exactly" got me thinking about how to be concise without being obscure).
The odds are low that the books I have carefully bought will actually be read, but it's the thought that counts, or buy unto others what you would have them buy unto you, or something like that.
So, here's the list (MOM IF YOU ARE READING THIS STOP HERE OR CHRISTMAS WILL BE RUINED!):
For my dad: Priscila Uppal's Winter Sport: Poems, because I think it will appeal to the memory of all the times he drove me to early morning hockey practice and late night games.
For my mum & youngest sister: Helen Hajnoczky's Poets and Killers: A life in advertising pretty much for the reasons I outlined here.
For my middle sister: Nikki Reimer's [sic], because I think it will appeal to her perceptions of Calgary and corporate culture.
I'll report back on reactions post-Holiday.

By Wikum
Venue: National Theatre
Writer: Prasanna Puwanarajah Director: Polly Findlay
Official Synopsis: Abirami is English. And Sri Lankan. And a professional cricketer. Tomorrow she makes her debut for England against Sri Lanka, but tonight she faces a relentless bowling machine in a one-on-one session to prepare her for the innings of her life. As the night draws on, she challenges our preconceptions of politics, sport and national pride as harshly as she challenges her own.
Going to the theatre is a rare occurrence for me, but since we are cricket-mad Sri Lankans, a group of Geckos decided to give this one a go. The play opens with Abirami, a fiery northerner, starting a net session against the bowling machine Merlin. Meanwhile she addresses the audience, conveying her nervous excitement for the match ahead whilst recounting tales of cricketing legends such as Michael Atherton. It's a low-key start, but cricket fans will appreciate her admiration of the game, which is quite poetic despite the coarse language. There is of course no real cricket being played, but clever production tricks almost convince you otherwise. The sound design is timed perfectly – the beep of the machine, the thud of the bounce, the satisfying crack of bat on ball or whoosh of a missed ball against the net – these sounds establish the rhythm of the performance. Further selling this physical reality, the invisible ball seems to ricochet off lights and crash into other elements of the room (to the extent that some audience members instinctively recoiled if a shot was played their way). Kudos to actress Stephanie Street for an engaging, and surely exhausting, one-woman show.
Gradually the monologue reveals details of her backstory and introduces the play's more topical political themes. Abirami's frustrations are directed around a multitude of targets – the LTTE and its supporters, the Government, protesters, cricket fans and the cricket establishment, and especially her own family. In particular she expresses disappointment in her late father; his passivity and inability to take sides perceived as weakness. Increasingly flustered, her stroke play becomes more erratic and rushed, until Merlin malfunctions and Abirami has to fend off a storm of frightful 90mph deliveries.
A confused character, her fast-paced reasoning can be hard to follow – particularly, I imagine, for those less aware of Sri Lanka's recent history. Within a brisk 45-minute running time, the script is thematically overloaded, though frequent humour softens the tone. Despite not really providing any new insights into the conflict, the play accurately captures the confusion experienced by British Sri Lankans these days. It also made me realise the impact of the conflict on issues such as identity for many second generation Sri Lankans growing up in the UK. By comparison, the war hardly featured in my own upbringing, and when it did, things seemed more black and white than they do now. The play should also be commended for being even handed without being timid, which is a tricky line to balance. All in all, a thought-provoking show, which earned rapt applause from the mostly non-Sri Lankan audience.

DareBone's Big Break
Gleeson Rebello, M.D. and Jamie Harisiades
Illustrated by Randy Jennings
SDP Publishing
ISBN: 978-0-9889381-4-4 (hardcover)
Pp 38. June 2013. $14.95 (pb) and $4.80 (Kindle)
https://www.facebook.com/Darebone Also check amazon.in
My ten-year-old let out a whoop of delight when he first saw this book. It's large, it's courful and it's attractive. It is the kind of book that even draws an adult to go through, and before you realise it, you've learnt something new.
Its co-author Dr Gleeson Rebello is a pediatric orthopedic surgeon born and brought up in Goa. Currently he is a consultant in the department of orthopedic surgery, Massachusetts General Hospital, and on the faculty in Harvard Medical School.
In one website, the book describes itself as "a tale of tauma, treatment, and recovery in rhyme". It deals with a story from everyday life: a child gets injured on the playground, and ends up in the emergency room. The authors say their attempt is to "educate without intimidating" and "entertain without underestimating". So this book packs in poetry, humour and, we're told, medical accuracy.
We meet DareBone, the young boy who suffers his first major injury — a broken elbow — together with his "wise-cracking sidekick", the dog Wag-A-Bone. Given the authors' medical backgrounds, DareBone not surprisingly meets a number of "medical heroes", including the orthopedic surgeon, "as he journeys through surgery and recovery". This is packaged as "an informative story about a common childhood injury".
"The book was written with the aim of raising the bar in terms of explaining the nuts and bolts of everyday medical practice to a smarter generation of children without underestimating their ability to pick up complex concepts. A secondary aim of the book is to make medicine and biology 'cool'," says Rebello.
He sees the book as "very technical from an orthopedic standpoint but at the same time funny and easy to comprehend." It is aimed at children of 4-10 years, as well as their parents and healthcare professionals and educationists who deal with children of that age.
"The response to the book has been very encouraging both from healthcare and non-healthcare related professionals. It took two years to write it once I thought of the idea and teamed up with Jamie, my co-author. (There also was) interacting with a lot of frightened children with broken bones in the emergency room and my clinic, who were mostly afraid because of lack of knowledge of what was to follow," says Rebello.
This is planned to be the first of several books from Gleeson Rebello, MD and Jamie Harisiades "that will combine entertaining rhyme and accurate medical information aimed at educating readers and parents on common childhood conditions like allergy, autism, asthma, and obesity." Gleeson said he is working on a similar book on childhood obesity and also creating an app out of DareBones Big Break.
Though originally published in the US, the book is now available as an ebook on Kindle through Amazon in India (amazon.in) for $4.99. Dr Rebello said Jamie and he are already working on their "next effort".
Rebello incidentally did his MBBS in Goa Medical College, followed by an orthopedic residency. Then he worked at the Christian Medical College, Vellore,, and Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, before he joined Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston as a research fellow and finally was offered a staff position in 2008. Dr Gleeson's parents are the late Dr Francis M. Rebello, who founded Rebello Hospital in Margao and is known for his initiatives in Konkani publishing (Novem Goem, etc), and Dr Sicletica.
Not surprisingly perhaps, Gleeson himself says he caught the writing bug "right from schooldays". Says he: "Every doctor has thousands of stories inside him. The story of his professional life is but a collection of stories of his patients' lives."

I stand before you,
shield against the swords
and storms that
dare to charge against
a brazen king.
Not so brazen as to be
although you would beg to argue,
emphasize the moments of falter,
the short comings of a young warrior
dumbfounded to be found
But oh, how you forget
the rustic cry of defiance
that sent shudders through our bones
that day,
how demons ceased their glutony
and bowed deep into the dirt,
a homage to the vagabond king.
With no rally to your call,
still you threw yourself at the most grevious
of the horde,
its sins open and heavy, lingering in the
blood-seeped wind.
Beast against unleashed beast, the clash
of steel and bark,
above the despair you rose to claim
your people
and lead them to the victory
you had always been so sure they'd find.
And yes, you falter,
the bare ground beneath empty hands
and the enemy's blow from above.
But this is not your fate come to carry you
for there are those who would follow you,
take the blow only for you,
bring you to your feet
or watch you raise yourself
as you have always done.
Do not consider this obligation or dismiss
devotion for servitude.
Nothing is worth fighting for
if it is not worth dying for;
This barrier of flesh between your life and
your death
is love;
the choice, not of a warrior to shed
blood for his king, but
of a friend to die
for her friend.
I finally got to watch my Blu-Ray of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey last night. I saw it in theaters once, and it rekindled my original intrigue of Thorin Oakenshield, especially in his back story. I went right for the book after I saw it in theaters and realized why I had an odd foreboding feel about falling for Thorin during the movie. [no spoilers, go read the book if you don't know what I mean]
As some of you know, my Elaseim story, and the Elaseim themselves, came originally from a fan fiction I developed for the Lord of the Rings trilogy, where Rana existed as the last of the Elaseim simply so that Boromir wouldn't die. Well, I still do that all the time, either making new characters as OCs for fan fictions (all in my mind, of course, I've only dabbled in writing my fan fictions down a couple times [for Harry Potter and Avatar: The Last Airbender] and I just couldn't keep it up) or inserting Rana into the story. The Hobbit was no exception; since she is an immortal, it works that she would be part of this story as well as the trilogy. As Rana has developed, however, her dynamic in the fan fiction has also changed, so much so that her interaction with Boromir moved away from the original love story to a strong friendship, bound by the want for Gondor to gain greatness through men once more.
I had never had Rana interact with the dwarves of The Hobbit, and once I started to act out this dynamic, she and Thorin became the perfect match. Her new character development of late melds with his flaws so well, so perfectly; they are the high school friends turned sweethearts of Middle Earth in my mind. This is a small aspect of the relationship between Rana and Thorin, spoken from Rana's perspective. Hope you all like it!
