The extended mind – how Google affects our memories
Information has never been easier to find or record. Within seconds, the Internet lets us find answers to questions that would have remained elusive just a few decades ago. We don't even have to remember the answers – we can just look them up again.
Now, three psychologists have shown how our memories might react to this omnipresent store of information. They have found that when American students expect to have access to information in the future, they remember that information less well. But there's a positive flipside: they're also better at remembering where to find the information again.
The study lends some solid experimental weight to a game of speculative ping-pong that has bounced along for years. In 2008, Nicholas Carr asked if Google was making us stupid in a provocative Atlantic article that raised the prospect of weakening memories, among other potential ills. In his later book, The Shallows, Carr wrote, "The Web provides a convenient and compelling supplement to personal memory, but when we start using the Web as a substitute for personal memory, bypassing inner processes of consolidation, we risk emptying our minds of their riches."
Critics pointed out that Carr had little evidence for his arguments. Others suggested different ways in which the Internet could affect our memories. Writing in Salon, Evan Ratliff cited the work of Harvard psychologist Daniel Wegner, who noted that people often rely on a shared form of memory. For example, one partner in a married couple might be better at remembering birthdays, while the other might specialise in bank details. Together, they have a "transactive memory", a collective store of information that each can draw upon.
Ratliff wrote, "Perhaps the Web, then, is like a spouse who is around all the time, with a particular knack for factual memory of all varieties… There have to be doctoral students out there right now, working on clever studies about what having Google in your pocket does to your retentive abilities." He was partly right. No students were involved, but Betsy Sparrow from Columbia University was on the case, together with Jenny Liu from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Daniel Wegner himself.
First, Sparrow showed that when US students are faced with hard questions, they naturally think about computers. These machines are instinctively connected to the concept of missing knowledge. Sparrow recruited 46 students and asked them a series of trivia questions. Afterwards, they saw a list of words written in different colours and had to name the colours in question. People take longer to do this if the word captures their attention, because they find it more difficult to ignore its meaning and focus on its colour.
Sparrow found that after seeing questions they couldn't answer, the volunteers' reaction times were indeed slower if they saw computer-related words ('Google', 'browser', 'internet') than unrelated ones ('telephone', 'paper', 'pencil'). She writes, "It seems that when we are faced with a gap in our knowledge, we are primed to turn to the computer to rectify the situation."
Next, Sparrow asked 60 students to read 40 trivia statements (such as "an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain") and type them into a computer. Later, they had to write down as many of the statements as they could.
She found that the volunteers remembered fewer facts if they were told that the computer would save their work, than if they thought their words would be erased. If they knew they could look up the statements later, they apparently didn't make the effort to remember them. "Since search engines are continually available to us, we may often be in a state of not feeling we need to encode the information internally. When we need it, we will look it up," says Sparrow.
This doesn't mean that accessible information weakens memories.
Sparrow repeated the trivia experiment with 28 students but this time, after typing in every statement, they were told that their entry had been saved, saved in a specific folder, or erased. Later, they saw 30 statements, half of which matched the earlier ones, and half of which had been subtly altered. When asked if the statements were exactly what they had read, the students were worst at spotting the changes if they thought their words had been saved somewhere. As before, having information on tap obviated the need to memorise it.
However, when asked if the statements were saved or erased, the students were better at identifying the ones that had been saved than the ones that had been erased. If they thought that information would be accessible later, they were worse at remembering the actual trivia, but better at remembering whether it would be accessible.
They even remembered where the statements were stored more accurately than the statements themselves. In a final experiment, Sparrow replayed the trivia game with 34 students, who expected all the statements to be saved into one of several generic folders, named 'Facts', 'Items', 'Info' and so on.
When they were asked to write down as many of the statements as possible, they only remembered a quarter of them. But when Sparrow prompted them with vague identifiers (such as, "What folder was the statement about the ostrich saved in?"), they remembered the location of half of the statements. Sparrow writes, "This is preliminary evidence that when people expect information to remain continuously available (such as we expect with Internet access), we are more likely to remember where to find it than we are to remember the details of the item."
Of course, this is merely an extreme version of what goes on in our usual social connections. In relationships and workplaces, no single person feels the need to know and remember everything because we can rely on others to fill in the gaps where necessary. We store information through our social connections as well as in our brains. The same thing happens with reference books. I may not remember all the facts and stories in my book shelf but I've got a good idea of where to find any particular titbit. The Internet is the same type of external memory, writ large.
Sparrow sums it up best: "[Our] results suggest that processes of human memory are adapting to the advent of new computing and communication technology. Just as we learn through transactive memory who knows what in our families and offices, we are learning what the computer "knows" and when we should attend to where we have stored information in our computer-based memories. We are becoming symbiotic with our computer tools, growing into interconnected systems that remember less by knowing information than by knowing where the information can be found."
And perhaps even this is changing. The act of finding information is becoming ever easier as searching becomes a central part of our software. Gmail, for example, is structured around searching rather than folders. Everything from folders to Flickr photos can be tagged to make them easier to find. Rather than remembering where we've saved a piece of information, we may end up remembering the sorts of keywords that will allow us to find a forgotten fact. As our technology changes, so do we.
Are we better or worse off for it? Sparrow's work is hardly going to end a debate that has raged for millennia. Socrates himself feared that the advent of that most dastardly of technologies – the written word – would weaken our memories to our mental detriment. Similar concerns were raised at the advent of newspapers, mass education, the gramophone, and the printing press. Media technology scares are not new. Nor, as Sparrow argues, are they very productive.
"It may be no more that nostalgia at this point, however, to wish we were less dependent on our gadgets. We have become dependent on them to the same degree we are dependent on all the knowledge we gain from our friends and coworkers—and lose if they are out of touch. The experience of losing our Internet connection becomes more and more like losing a friend. We must remain plugged in to know what Google knows."

It seems to me that this study only serves to support Carr's contention that our dependence on the web is weakening our memory and cognitive abilities. The study finds that we can remember where to look but can't remember exactly what we were looking at. Wow, I can't think of a more convincing example of "skimming upon the shallows."
Remembering where to look is a complex task every bit as deep as remembering the specific details themselves. It is in fact, as the article makes clear, as aspect of the deepest and most complicated aspect of human intelligence of all – social intelligence.
I'm all for social intelligence, my friend, but I see little connection between social intelligence and critical thinking, close reading, deep thinking, etc. These are the skills Carr and many others fear are diminishing. Remembering where to find something seems almost like a "spatial" skill to me (and I believe it is an important skill), but dwelling in an idea is a completely different matter.
Greg: I would say the precise opposite. Far more important than memorising individual facts is learning how to find out facts: i.e. learning how to learn. If I learn how to cook spaghetti bolognese, I can… make spaghetti bolognese. If I learn where the recipe book is, I can make dozens of different meals. Our ability to access a vast repository of recorded, permanent information is one of the features separating us from chimpanzees. Internet searching is just one more extension of the process.
The segment of the population that ever, ever knew what a spark plug was, what a spark plug gap was, how to measure the gap, where to buy the feeler gauge tool IF they got this far, how to set the gap after they measured it, how to replace a sheared spark plug, how to go the machine shop that didn't charge to much to remove the stub… You get the idea. You were NEVER ALL THAT SMART ANYWAY!!!!!!!! Just knowing that the Washington Monument is on the mall in Washington is something I never knew until I stood next to the thing. On the mall. Look here it is:
and you are not in Washington fubarhead.
Peter: Remembering where you found something is a far cry from learning how to learn. I'm all for learning how to learn. I teach research. We know that students are able to find things; problem is, they don't know how to discern a good source from a bad one. THAT's critical thinking.
Ed: True, but the idea of students being able to remember where in the sea of information they can find something, but not really being able to remember the content seems to me to be a perfect picture of our social condition as Carr describers it: "My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski."
@3 but this study does not demonstrate any of those skills are lessened by not needing to remember facts, anymore than having an encyclopedia does.
I'd be interested to see how the internet affects people's ability to discern reliable from unreliable sources: recognizing spam and scams comes fairly naturally to me, and I am always astonished at the sorts of things the elderly fall for. Now, perhaps that is just due to failing brain performance with age, but it would be interesting to see how (if?) having to separate the wheat from the chaff when performing searches aides our cognitive abilities.
divorce has the same effect, one's extended mind torn in half, many missing pieces ..
the real lesson from this research is not what's in the misleading title, google, etc .. it is that there is collective consciousness , that mind is not limited to brain .. and more
Plato, on the invention of writing:
"But when they came to letters, This, said Theuth, will make the Egyptians wiser and give them better memories; it is a specific both for the memory and for the wit. Thamus replied: O most ingenious Theuth, the parent or inventor of an art is not always the best judge of the utility or inutility of his own inventions to the users of them. And in this instance, you who are the father of letters, from a paternal love of your own children have been led to attribute to them a quality which they cannot have; for this discovery of yours will create forgetfulness in the learners' souls, because they will not use their memories; they will trust to the external written characters and not remember of themselves. The specific which you have discovered is an aid not to memory, but to reminiscence, and you give your disciples not truth, but only the semblance of truth; they will be hearers of many things and will have learned nothing; they will appear to be omniscient and will generally know nothing; they will be tiresome company, having the show of wisdom without the reality."
—Phaedrus, c. 370 BCE
@HP – great quote. But to be fair to Phaedrus, what we have largely forgotten over the intervening years is the tradition of oral storytelling. I would argue it's been primarily replaced by the printed story. I don't assign a value judgment to it.
@Greg et. al.: discernment is a learned skill, and one that is specifically useful to the modern age of information omnipresence. The practical application of that discernment makes itself known over time, much in the same ways as office-cooler chat recites the previous days events from the talking-box. "Well, I saw…"; "But O'Reilly said.."; "But I read…" etc. One of the beauties of information omnipresence is that in skimming the waves, one can learn to seek and discern myriad viewpoints and put together a more cohesive picture of understanding on a given subject. Much of TV is characterized by dichotomous viewpoints, when the subject encompasses much more of continuum. Many blogs and news articles are guilty of this as well, but there are also a lot more information sources that, when combined, present the continuum in a fairer light. In these cases, remembering where you found something and discerning its relative value can be key.
For my part, I had used the web only intermittently until the last several months (let's say January 2011). Following that, I learned not only the convenience of information omnipresence, but its power. I have vastly improved my critical thinking skills precisely and primarily because of the accessibility of information. I would assert that I have also packed a whole lot more into my memory in that time. Which brings me to a few key questions that don't really seem to be asked in these studies:
* How is new knowledge affected – specific subjects, new skill sets, etc.? Are new ways of learning and understanding improved when supplementing textbook exercises with Internet searches?
* In particular, what are the effects of multimedia – videos, podcasts, etc. – on learning and retention?
* What is the effect on collective memorization? Collective identity? Collaborative projects?
* Is there a correlation between performance/grades and usage of omnipresent information?
* How do the results change when dealing with items of specific interest to the reader/user? What about items of discovered interest (i.e., the reader/user does not know until they discover something that it holds interest to them)?
* What are the effects on memory when an item is 'shared' on a social media platform? Or when one engages in a series of debates and or running comment threads on said subject? What about crowdsourcing?
IMO, this is a complex issue and a new knowledge paradigm that can't be simplified in terms of "are we getting dumber" or "the Internet makes you smarter". And I'm not even really touching on the cultural intelligence aspect, which is fascinating and continually evolving. I'm excited to see our continued evolution and adaptation with tech-knolow-gee!
This doesn't say anything about our capacity to remember. It suggests we're training ourselves to remember metadata rather than instantiated data. If we are good at this (i.e. understand what metadata is valuable to remember) and have access to the right tools it means we'll be able to use much more information than in the past.
Up to you whether you think that's a good thing. I do.
Why the internet is good – now I can Google information to find what I need to know quickly and easily. Before the internet, whenever I used a dictionary I'd get sidetracked; I'd know where to look, but forget what I was looking for.
Why the internet is bad – when I first saw your sketch, I read "I replaced my sparkplugs and now my car is running Word." For a couple of minutes that actually seemed to make sense…
This very much describes me. It also occurs with cellphones. Instead of remembering names, addresses and telephone numbers we allow the cellphone to do all the work
This might be analogous to evolutionary processes where un-used body parts eventually become vestigial. Remembering like un-needed body parts uses up resources which could be allocated to other stuff. If you are freed from using up limited mental resources remembering stuff you can do something else like say analyzing or creating
Mike, you're connecting dots that this study nor any study connects. To say that skimming the waves enables one to "learn to seek and discern myriad viewpoints and put together a more cohesive picture of understanding on a given subject" is a huge leap. This was your experience because – I feel confident in saying – you ALREADY HAD WELL DEVELOPED CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS. Therefore you have great mental agility and discernment to aid you as you access the incredible wealth of information on the web. This is very different than a child who grows up with skimming the surface as his or her only method of engagement. Evidence indicates that child is handicapped in critical thinking.
I'm all for social intelligence, my friend, but I see little connection between social intelligence and critical thinking, close reading, deep thinking, etc.
I do not see any link whatsoever between critical thinking, close reading, deep thinking, or any other remotely related processes with the two kinds of learning investigated in this study. It's a separate module of intelligence from either remembering information straight up or remembering where to find the information.
And thus it does not follow at all that those abilities would be either harmed or helped by the advent of electronic information and communication.
Also, this is not a new process. Compare the memory abilities of individuals in preliterate societies with those in societies with writing and books. This is only one small extension of a process that has its roots all the way back to the beginning of civilization itself (and perhaps even older than that).
Ed: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2010/05/ff_nicholas_carr/all/1 (there's plenty more where that came from)
Amphiox: I get your point, but I don't think remembering details of information is completely divorced from analysis, interpretation, reflection, etc. Before you can grapple with an idea, you must have the details of the idea in your mental grasp.
@Greg: At the top of this thread you said, "I'm all for social intelligence, my friend, but I see little connection between social intelligence and critical thinking, close reading, deep thinking, etc."
One of my gripes with this is that you're saying there's no correlation, but what you're arguing, actually, is that there's a negative correlation. I think you should acknowledge that these are two different arguments. I bet a lot of people here would be more willing to believe the former than the latter.
To jump to the later part of the thread, you say, "…I don't think remembering details of information is completely divorced from analysis, interpretation, reflection, etc. Before you can grapple with an idea, you must have the details of the idea in your mental grasp."
I don't disagree with this, but in order to make your main argument stick, you still have to prove to me that there is a real value difference between remembering something "in your head" versus using an outside source to remember it for you. To me, there is little difference other than a speed advantage with using your head, and a breadth advantage with using outside sources.
The point I'd like to make is that there is a difference between mental processing/cogitating (what we might refer to as "analysis" or "reflection") and strict memory. And in turn, memory itself can be broken down into both basic informational memory and procedural memory. I'd offer that what you characterize as truly "grasping" a subject can be classified as procedural memory, and that's a separate mental module from reflection or cogitation. Developing procedural memory may require some amount of reflection, but more importantly I think it requires practice, which you could define as "applied reflection".
The speed of that practice–the speed at which you develop procedural memory–depends on the person, obviously. And I don't think the process of offloading the storage of information to outside media (which has been going on for millenia and is arguably human nature) is detrimental to how fast you can process or analyze. Not in and of itself.
My last point (bear with me) is this: I do think that you're on to something, but you're blaming the wrong thing. I believe that people are losing some of their analytical, deep-thinking power, but it has nothing to do with social/shared intelligence or the offloading of memory capacity. I think our ability to think deeply is being eroded by certain aspects of a quick-fix, info-overload culture that in some ways is a byproduct of the same media we use to so efficiently store the world's knowledge (knowledge we wouldn't be able to use otherwise). Empty hours of looking at the TV and not thinking are different than hours spent searching on PubMed, but they are born from the same technological framework.
The connectivity required to build from spoken word to written word, then to books, then libraries and universities, and now the internet, is made possible by a technological system that simultaneously creates a generation of 11-year-olds that can't spend one minute within themselves without being updated on the fleeting, unimportant thoughts of a dozen of their friends. I don't know if that will hurt the next generation, or prepare them for the world they're entering, but there's your culprit. The internet in and of itself is not the culprit, it's just the medium.
Not to be asinine, but if they could, would different species of squirrels be having this debate too, about whether and whence to store one's nuts? It seems intuitive to me that the ability to find a cache is a skill crucial to survival, from Sciurids to hunter gatherers and to mortgage bankers and evolutionary biologists.
In illiterate societies, people are able to remember much more detailed information at first hearing than we are. Where I will jot down a note when I'm being given simple or complex directions for how to do something or get somewhere, my illiterate ancestors would have to remember it – there was no other way to carry the information with them.
Having facts readily accessible to us is changing what we remember, but it's not eroding our ability to think clearly. Anyone who believes that has an inexplicably rosy idea of how clearly people thought in the past.
Thinking clearly is dangerous to the established order – the history of pedagogy and politics is full of instances where teaching has been re-tooled to remove critical thinking at the behest of political or theological rulers. Or fundamentalist school boards, here in America. Clear thinking requires skepticism, and logic, and a firm grasp of how to evaluate evidence for reasonableness.
There are many forces in our culture which fight against those things, but the ease of getting information on the internet isn't one of those forces – in fact, it supports clear thinking by giving people the tools to verify or debunk what they are told – if they have learned how to think clearly.
I'd be skeptical that people in illiterate societies have better memories than those of us in high-tech societies. There are so many secondary factors that could play a role. They may be better adapted to remember certain types of information, like following a route through the woods after being told where to go. But people in modern societies also have more that they already have to remember before you even test them. It's hard to test total memory capacity when you're already starting from different levels.
I don't know if this Einstein anecdote is true, but if it is, then I think it's fitting:
ONE OF Einstein's colleagues asked him for his telephone number one day. Einstein reached for a telephone directory and looked it up. "You don't remember your own number?" the man asked, startled.
"No," Einstein answered. "Why should I memorize something I can so easily get from a book?"
In fact, Einstein claimed never to memorize anything which could be looked up in less than two minutes.
One of my grade school teachers (early 70s) used to emphasize the importance of knowing how to look things up. This was well before the computer era and we learned how to use libraries, encyclopaedias, card catalogues and all sorts of reference materials. Perhaps her influence is why my personal library is mostly reference books (several hundred of them)? Hadn't thought about that before….
One factor that strikes me about this is the differentiation between knowledge and skill. Just knowing how to do something does not mean you can actually do it. No matter how much you know about swimming, there is only really one way to learn, and that is to get in the water.
So availability of facts on the internet is great, and has become an essential part of our ability to survive in our modern working world, but we also need skills. Maybe you just need the fact or data or information, and that is enough. Maybe you need more to really get the informal learning available.


text: Corn Prices Continues to Stem Beef Cattle Market June 17, 2013 04:29 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email —Ron Plain and Scott Brown, University of Missouri USDA has raised their forecast of 2013 beef production to 25.437 billion pounds, up 1.3% from their May forecast, but down 1.8% from the 2012 actual. They are predicting 2014 beef production will be down 5.2% from 2013. The midpoint of their price forecast range for slaughter steers on a live weight basis is $127.50/cwt for 2013 and $132/cwt in 2014. USDA's June crop update lowered forecast corn yield by 1.5 bushels per acre to 156.5 and raised the expected seasonal average price by 10 cents per bushel. The midpoints of their price range are $4.80 for corn and $10.75 for soybeans during the upcoming marketing year. As of June 9, 63% of corn acres were rated in good or excellent condition, the same as the week before, but down from 66% a year ago. 24% of U.S. pastures were rated in poor or very poor condition on June 9, down from 27% a year ago. During the first 22 weeks of 2013, beef cow slaughter was up 3.7% and dairy cow slaughter was up 3.4% compared to a year ago. During this same period, steer slaughter was down 0.9% and heifer slaughter was down 4.1%. Fed cattle prices were mixed this week on continued light volume. Through Thursday, the 5-area average price for slaughter steers sold on a live weight basis was $124.21/cwt, up 81 cents from last week and up $4.73 from the same week last year. Steer prices on a dressed basis averaged $194.31/cwt this week, down $1.49 from a week ago, but up $2.99 from a year ago. This morning, the boxed beef cutout value for choice carcasses was $200.15/cwt, down $1.79 from the previous Friday, but up $1.57 from a year ago. The select carcass cutout is at $183.55/cwt, down 46 cents for the week. The choice-select price spread is $16.60/cwt. This week's cattle slaughter totaled 644,000 head, the same as last week and 1.7% from a year ago. The average steer dressed weight for the week ending on June 1 was 850 lb., up 4 lb. from the week before and the same as a year ago. This was the first week since Jan. 7, 2012, that steer weights weren't above the year-earlier level. Oklahoma City feeder cattle auction prices this week were steady to $3 higher with prices for medium and large frame #1 steers: 400-450 lb. $162, 450-500 lb. $156-$168, 500-550 lb. $157-$171.25, 550-600 lb. $149.50-$161.10, 600-650 lb. $139-$154, 650-700 lb. $137.50-$145.50, 700-750 lb. $128-$138.50, 750-800 lb. $131.75-$138.50, 800-900 lb. $123-$137.75, and 900-1000 lb. $118.25-$125.50/cwt. The June live cattle futures contract closed at $119.00/cwt today, down $1.12 from last week's close. The August fed cattle contract lost 90 cents from last Friday to settle at $118.32/cwt. October fed cattle futures settled at $121.87/cwt and December at $124.57/cwt. August feeder cattle futures settled at $143.40/cwt, down 22 cents for the week. The September contract gained 42 cents from last Friday to close at $146.22/cwt. Back to news

What is a Financial Advisor?
Also known as: Financial Consultant, Investment Advisor, Certified Financial Planner, Financial Planner, Financial Counselor.
Table of Contents
A financial advisor is someone who gives financial advice to their clients. In determining an investment portfolio for a client, they must be able to take into account a range of information, including economic trends, regulatory changes, and the client's comfort with risky decisions. A major part of a financial advisor's job is making clients feel comfortable. They must establish trust with clients and respond well to their questions and concerns.
What does a Financial Advisor do?
Financial advisors assess the financial needs of individuals and help them with investments (such as stocks and bonds), tax laws, and insurance decisions. They help clients plan for short-term and long-term goals, such as education expenses and retirement. They recommend investments to match the clients' goals. They invest clients' money based on the clients' decisions. Many also provide tax advice or sell insurance.
Personal financial advisors typically do the following:
- Meet with clients in person to discuss their financial goals
- Explain the types of financial services they provide
- Educate clients and answer questions about investment options and potential risks
- Recommend investments to clients or select investments on their behalf
- Help clients plan for specific circumstances, such as education expenses or retirement
- Monitor clients' accounts and determine if changes are needed to improve account performance or accommodate life changes, such as getting married or having children
- Research investment opportunities
Although most financial advisors offer advice on a wide range of topics, some specialize in areas such as retirement or risk management (evaluating how willing the investor is to take chances, and adjusting investments accordingly). After they have invested funds for a client, they, as well as the client, get regular reports of the investments. They monitor the client's investments and usually meet with each client at least once a year to update him/her on potential investments and to adjust the financial plan because of the client's changed circumstances or because investment options have changed.
Many spend a great deal of time marketing their services, and they meet potential clients by giving seminars or through business and social networking. Many financial advisors are licensed to directly buy and sell financial products, such as stocks, bonds, annuities, and insurance. Depending on the agreement they have with their clients, advisors may have the clients' permission to make decisions about buying and selling stocks and bonds.
Private bankers or wealth managers are personal financial advisors who work for people who have a lot of money to invest. These clients are similar to institutional investors (commonly companies or organizations), and they approach investing differently from the general public. Private bankers manage a collection of investments, called a portfolio, for these clients by using the resources of the bank, including teams of financial analysts, accountants, and other professionals.

What is the workplace of a Financial Advisor like?
Financial advisors typically work in offices, and approximately one-fourth of financial advisors are self-employed. Many also travel to attend conferences or teach finance classes in the evening to bring in more clients. Most advisors work full time, and 24% work more than 50 hours per week. They often go to meetings in the evenings and on weekends to meet with existing clients or to try to bring in new ones.

Job for Projects Manager in Johannesburg, Woodmead Feb 2018
Published by helpagraduatefindajob
It is said education is the key to dispel unemployment myths In fact, it's pretty easy to see that education isn't the answer to solving the unemployment problem if you make one key assumption: the unemployment problem is cyclical, not structural. This means that those unemployed today will eventually be able to find jobs in the respective industries, relying on their current skill sets. If the problem was structural, then specific dead industries segments would be responsible for the high unemployment problem, and those workers would need to develop other skills to find new work. Today we have graduates in position of Degrees , Students who need inservice training prior the completion of their qualifications but it seems like there are unemployment boundaries that hinders all dreams to come true . Some students can't even graduate because companies do not want to offer them training as part of their WORK INTEGRATED LEARNING , Academic institutions have limited resources to offer proper training and to accomodate all students from different respective faculties This webpage is to help share different opportunities that may help to combat this propaganda and dispel the unemployment mythology that the youth is facing today View all posts by helpagraduatefindajob

Polishing Touches
More than 100 6-through-14-year-olds, boys and girls, about evenly divided, learned from some of the best last week in a Rusty Red lacrosse camp overseen by Owen McCormack and his uncle, Brian, at East Hampton High School.
"It went great, though it was the hottest week of the summer," said the younger McCormack, who assists Mike Vitulli in coaching the East Hampton High School boys varsity and heads up the Police Athletic League youth lacrosse program here.
"Our ideal," he continued, "is to bring lacrosse to this area, to make the kids love it, and to develop a high school program. So, for me, it's a case of one hand washing the other — I'm helping with the varsity and also coaching the young kids who will feed into it. . . . It's great to see these guys who've played lacrosse here coming back to coach . . . Neil Falkenhan, Zach Brenneman, Jarred Bowe, Austin Heneveld, Ryan Shaw. . . . They're such good role models."
Brenneman, a two-time all-American who just finished a stellar career at Notre Dame, is now playing professionally for the Long Island Lizards. Heneveld's at Navy, Shaw's at Providence, and Bowe, who debuted as a goalie at the camp, is at the University of Delaware, where he plays defense in man-down and zone situations.
The Blue Hens lost 14-13 to Duke in the first round of the National Collegiate Athletic Association tournament this spring, though Bowe, who's an English major eyeing a sportscasting career, said that, with few losses to graduation, he and his teammates are hoping to advance further in the tournament next year.
Shaw, who handled the face-offs for Providence University as a freshman, coached while perched on crutches, the result of a recent hip operation to repair a labrum tear he'd played through for most of the season.
Neither Owen McCormack nor his wife, Renee, who went to school here as well, played lacrosse when they grew up, though both said they readily would have had they been given the chance.
Their son, Xavier, 11, and daughter, Stella, 7, were among the campers, who came from all over the Island and from as far away as, in the case of a contingent of about 10 11-to-13-year-old boys sponsored by the Rusty Red Foundation, Bridgeport, Conn.
A nonprofit organization formed by a former Cornell lacrosse player, Joe Lizzio, in 2008, the Rusty Red Foundation is spreading the good news of lacrosse and its potential college scholarship prospects to inner city youngsters who might not otherwise be introduced to the sport.
"They loved it," Owen McCormack said of the Bridgeport kids, who could not remain for the entire week "because they had to get back for a basketball championship. . . . They're all going to be really good lacrosse players. I'd love it if they moved out here."
Renee McCormack, who was in charge of doling out "nutritious, energizing snacks," when questioned, said, "I would have played lacrosse, absolutely, if they had it here when I was growing up." She had played field hockey, "where you have to keep your stick on the ground," and "did just about anything . . . the 100, the 3,000, the hurdles . . . in track."
She agreed that in some ways the girls game was harder, the flatter pockets making it more difficult to cradle the ball. "It's as if the boys want to make it harder for the girls," she said with a laugh.
She added that it had been chivalrous of the boys to play on the grass sometimes this spring while Bonac's girls played on the new turf field.
"It wasn't about chivalry," her husband riposted. "It was about winning."
To make sure that East Hampton continues to do so, now and in the future, Matt Maloney, who oversees East Hampton High's girls varsity, which enjoyed its first winning season this spring, was among the camp's coaches.
"We've got a lot of talent," he said when asked about his current crop of players, who include Maggie Pizzo, a sophomore midfielder slated to play in a national under-15 tournament in Florida over this weekend, the Seekamps, Amanda and Carley, and the goalie, Alison Charde. Not to mention the Budd twins, Jenna and Lydia, Katie Brierley, Cassidy Walsh, and Dana Cebulski.
"We just started playing in a summer league at Dowling College yesterday [July 13]. We beat Patchogue-Medford 17-4."
Teresa Schirrippa, who helped coach the girls, said she too would have liked to have begun the game earlier. "I was 16 when I first picked up a stick," said the all-around athlete, who played on East Hampton's inaugural team under Maureen Rutkowski a decade ago and more recently went on to play defensive end with championship tackle and flag football teams based in New York and Chicago, where she is a high school teacher and coaches basketball and softball at the Josephinum Academy.
"I wasn't expecting the talent I've seen here," she said. "Not at this young age [10-to-12]. I've been very impressed."
Speaking of all-around athletes, Bob Rule, another of the camp's coaches, a Hall of Fame goalie and former longtime Manhasset coach who played on Cornell's first national championship team and on this country's first world team, recommended Spike Lee's documentary on Jim Brown. In it, said Rule, Dick Schaap, the sportswriter, who was Cornell's goalie in 1953, said, "the single most frightening moment of his lifetime was seeing Jim Brown [when he was a Syracuse midfielder] bearing down on him. . . . He played with a very short stick that he could hold in close to his chest. That gave rise to the 'Jimmy Brown Rule.' Sticks had to be at least 40 inches long after that."
As Rule was holding forth, one of his protégées, 11-year-old Jenny Valenti of Port Washington, walked up during a water slide break.
"Yes, she's improving," said Rule in answer to a question. "You know, they always tell shooters to fake high and, when the goalie's stick goes up, to shoot low. I've been teaching Jenny to fake the shooter out by dropping her stick, and when the shot goes high she can pick it off. I made a bet I could score on her. I owe her a Sno-Cone."
"There are two criteria for goalies — you have to be very beautiful or handsome and very intelligent."
When this writer said he thought lacrosse goalie was the toughest goalie position to play, Rule said, "The mother of the goalie is the toughest job!"
"Your program will get better and better out here," the Hall of Famer continued. "Zach Brenneman put East Hampton lacrosse on the map. The tougher the competition gets the more of an honor it will be to make the team. Four guys from Manhasset went to Harvard this year. Probably only one of them would have gotten in anyway. Five went to Amherst. Why? Those schools take 2,000 out of 20,000 applicants. Every one is good, every one is worthy, but these admissions officers are asking themselves, 'What can he or she do for Harvard, for Amherst, for Duke, for the University of Virginia, for Johns Hopkins, for Yale, for Williams. . . . They're looking for that something extra, for that edge."
"And lacrosse," said Rule, "can give you that edge."

Since the Firefly Music Festival soared into The Woodlands in Dover in 2012, the event has brought more than just big name artists and national attention to the area.
The major music festival has brought a positive economic impact to the Dover area.
Since the Firefly Music Festival soared into The Woodlands in Dover in 2012, the event has brought more than just big name artists and national attention to the area.
The major music festival has brought a positive economic impact to the Dover area.
Hotels throughout Kent County are already booked solid for the weekend, as more than 80,000 festivalgoers prepare to invade Dover – most of them attending all four days of the festival, which runs Thursday through Sunday.
For the first two years of Firefly, the event ran across three days. Last year, the festival attracted approximately 65,000 people to The Woodlands. With this year's festival adding a fourth day and featuring 100-plus acts (with headliners including the Foo Fighters, Outkast and Imagine Dragons), more people are expected to pour into Dover this weekend.
And that sounds promising for the local economy, according to local officials and businesses.
"You have 65,000 or 75,000 [festivalgoers] and not all of them are camping or eating meals by the campfire," said Bill Neaton, the director of economic development for the City of Dover. "A very large number of those folks are staying at hotels and a number of them are shopping at Dover Mall and the other stores in the area. It has a definite economic impact."
Ryan & Ryan, the New York-based public relations company that represents the Dover Mall, is hopeful this year's festival will top the impact that last year's audience delivered.
"Anytime an event of this magnitude brings visitors to the Delmarva area, we see the potential for increased activity at stores and restaurants at Dover Mall," according to a statement via email from Ryan & Ryan. "We look forward to, once again, welcoming guests this weekend as they take time away from the Firefly Music Festival to discover all the great shopping, dining and amenities available at the property."
The music festival's reach has touched hotels as far south as Milford and Harrington, and as far north as Middletown.
"I've had people calling me constantly asking for a room this weekend, but I'm unable to accommodate them," said Joe Phillips, co-owner of the Causey Mansion, a bed-and-breakfast inn in Milford.
Phillips recently took over part ownership of the Causey Mansion in May and he says the former owner of the inn told him the place has been booked solid each year for Firefly. Since it's not common for the Causey Mansion to be sold out on weekends, Phillips said he wouldn't mind having Firefly come to Dover more than once a year.
"It's great," he said of the music festival. "I think I would like [Causey Mansion] to be full every weekend."
Last year, Dover Motorsports' Chief Operating Officer Mike Tatoian announced a 10-year agreement with Red Frog Events ─ the Illinois-based company that produces Firefly ─ guaranteeing The Woodlands would be the exclusive home of the music festival.
Considering Firefly will be here to stay for a while, the festival's positive impact on the local economy is something that gets Kent County Tourism Executive Director Cindy Small excited.
"Firefly Music Festival has been very positive for our area in that it has helped to put Kent County on the map to a new audience," she said. "A vast majority of previous attendees had not traveled to Dover before, and with the younger age demographic and higher disposable income, we hope they keep Delaware in mind for future visits."

How Colorado Republicans lost the state House
Re: "Coloradans are ready for a change in political direction," July 29 guest commentary.
Republican state Rep. Brian DelGrosso wrote that Colorado people "don't want to see the party in control shut out the minority from the legislative process." Well, two years ago the Colorado Senate passed a civil unions bill, and when it advanced to the House, the Republican speaker, Frank McNulty, refused to bring it to the floor for a vote even though it would have undoubtedly passed. That action so energized the Democrats that they won a majority of seats in the House last November and that bill became law this year. McNulty, all by himself, is responsible for the Republicans losing control of the House.

- 3.5X-180X Simul-Focal Trinocular Stereo Zoom Microscope and 5MP USB3 Camera
This microscope features a unique simul-focal optical system with an adjustable trinocular port to enable well-focused clear images on your computer/video screen while simultaneously obtaining sharp, focused images through the eyepieces. Most trinocular microscopes allow you to view either through the trinocular port or the eyepieces only, forcing you to switch between the two. Since these trinocular ports are not simul-focal with the rest of the microscope optical system, you have to re-focus the microscope after each switch. This microscope, however, erases this step by providing simul-focal viewing. Especially convenient for quality-control inspections, teaching demonstrations, and many other industry applications, your colleagues or students can simultaneously view clear images shown through the trinocular port while you work through the eyepieces.
This microscope comes with SUPER widefield optics alongside a versatile illumination system that provides both incident (top) lighting and transmitted (bottom) illumination, as well as a 5MP digital camera. You can choose between incident illumination shining down onto the object or transmitted illumination through the frosted stage plate. The first is used for the observation of three-dimensional objects and the second for the inspection of the objects that allow light to get through them like diamonds. The 45-degree inclined trinocular head and high-eyepoint design ensures comfortable observation, including eyeglass wearers. In addition, the rubber eye-guards provide further comfort. The trinocular port also allows the ability to add photographic or video capability.
This microscope offers high resolution and good depth within a broad field of view. It provides crystal clear sharp stereo images, 52:1 large zoom magnification range, and 8" (200mm) working distance. It can be used in gemology, geology, forestry, archaeology, agriculture and biology. It is appropriate for educational purposes in hospitals and schools. It is great for the exploration of the world of surface details and fine structures of various materials like wood, metal, solder, semiconductor and gemstones. It is perfect for the examination of insects, plants, rocks, stamps, coins, jewel, soldered points, microelectronic components, circuit boards or virtually any three dimensional objects.
The 5MP USB3.0 digital camera captures still images and video, and allows you to view a live stream on your PC. With software available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, it's a multi-platform imaging solution. The included Windows software offers image-development and measurement tools, as well as advanced compositing features such as image-stitching and extended-depth-of-focus. Independent preview and capture resolutions allow you to view high-speed video while capturing high-definition images. For Mac and Linux, there is a lite version with limited processing features.
Features :
+ Have well-focused clear images on your computer or video screen and through the eyepieces at the same time.
+ No need to switch between the trinocular port and the eyepieces
+ No need to re-focus the microscope after each "switch"
+ Sharp stereo images over a super widefield view
+ High resolution with great flatness and contrast
+ Crystal clear original true-color images

Steve Eggleton
Steve studied art at Portsmouth College of Education. In the seventies he moved to Norfolk to teach Art where he was commissioned to design and make some of the ornate carved village signs which were a feature of the region. A growing reputation for relief carving has led to many commissions for public bodies across East Anglia and further afield. At present he is involved in a memorial for the town of Whitchurch in Hampshire which carries eight relief panels in oak. Steve has a strong Christian faith; this together with a love for medieval English carving has influenced his 3 dimensional works. Steve has also painted and taught painting for some thirty years. Working mainly in oils, his paintings are a simple celebration of rural life thats surrounds his own smallholding and among the people and domestic animals of the English countryside.

The Chevrolet C2500, Chevrolet's three-quarter–ton, heavy-duty pickup truck, has been available since 1960.The history of the Chevrolet C2500 can be summed up simply by saying it could easily satisfy the hauling and towing needs of customers for half a century.
The Chevrolet C2500 (known as the Silverado C2500 since 1999) is a powerful and practical tool for performing the hauling and towing tasks a working day requires, as well as for moving recreational vehicles and boats on vacations.
Available in regular cab, extended cab, or club cab, the Silverado C2500 comfortably seats passengers on long or short trips. Its cargo bed, which was available in short-box, regular-box and long-box styles, can handle the heavy-duty hauling needs of weekend DIYers as well as those of professional construction workers and farmers.
The weight limit for trailering with the Chevrolet C2500 is a 5,000-pound trailer with a 600-pound tongue weight. The Z85 handling/trailering suspension or Z71 off-road suspension and a weight-distributing hitch with sway control are required when hauling more than 5,000 pounds.
The Chevrolet C2500 can also handle fifth-wheel trailers. Fifth-wheel trailering with a Silverado 2500 requires Z85 handling/trailering suspension or Z71 off-road suspension.
The Vortec 6.2-liter V-8 with MAX Trailering Pack is designed to give your truck the power it needs to handle whatever load you're hauling. Do remember, however, that the weight of additional passengers, optional equipment, and cargo will reduce the maximum trailer weight your vehicle can tow.
The Chevrolet C2500 changed little since 2007, with the exception of the 6.2-liter V-8 engine and six-speed automatic transmission introduced in 2009.
In addition to cab (regular, extended, or chassis) and box (short, standard, or long) alternatives, the WT and LT packages offer a range of options and amenities to help you get the job done. The WT (or "Work Truck") and LT models offer a standard Vortec six-liter, 360 horsepower V-8 engine and Hydramatic six-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, and the Z85 handling/trailering package. A Duramax 6.6-liter Turbo-Diesel V-8 engine is an option for the WT and LT.
Included as standard equipment are chrome bumpers and grille surround, folding exterior mirrors, and the Z85 handling/trailering package. Standard steering is power,recirculating ball. Standard suspension is front independent, torsion bar and rear multi-state with multi-leaf asymmetrical springs. In addition to gasoline, the six-liter V-8 engine can use E85.
Standard with the WT package are climate control, cruise control, Driver Information Center display, dual glove boxes, adjustable-tilt wheel, vinyl 40/20/40 split-bench seat with fold-down center armrest and storage, AM/FM stereo, and 17-inch steel wheels.
Added to the LT package are power door locks with remote keyless entry, power windows (with driver's Express-Down feature), premium cloth 40/20/40 split-bench seat with fold-down center armrest and lockable storage, AM/FM/CD/MP3 stereo, and SiriusXM Satellite Radio. Seventeen-inch machined-aluminum wheels complete the package.
The Extended Cab and Crew Cabs offer additional trim packages. In addition to the WT and LT packages, the LTZ package is available for the larger cabs. These packages offer flexible-fuel engines, trailering mirrors, stability control, traction control, and side-curtain airbags, as well as upgraded seating, upgraded upholstery, and Bose stereo systems.
The LTZ package offers leather upholstery, a power-sliding rear-cab window, and additional amenities.
Whether you want a rough-and-tumble work truck or a more luxurious ride for cruising around town, the Silverado C2500 offers option packages that can give you the performance, safety, and style you want in a three-quarter–ton, heavy-duty truck.
The previous generation of Chevrolet C2500 trucks was known simply by the number 2500. Most trucks from this generation were equipped with a five-liter or 5.7-literV-8 engine and a four-speed automatic transmission. Standard-cab and extended-cab styles as well as various trim packages were available.
The Chevrolet Silverado C2500 was introduced in 1999. Over the next seven years, the C2500's Duramax 6.6-liter engine received upgrades and the Allison six-speed transmission was introduced. The C2500 line of heavy-duty trucks was redesigned completely in 2001.
There are few differences between the exterior of this generation of C2500 trucks and the 2012 Silverado 2500. In 2011, a new diesel engine with exhaust braking was introduced, as were a stronger frame and suspension components.

BioWare Launches Dragon Age: Inquisition Voice Over Contest
The fine folks at BioWare have started a contest that could get your voice in Dragon Age: Inquisition!
In the video above, BioWare Community Manager Jessica Merizan detailed everything we need to know about the contest. The Take Your Place in the Inquisition contest allows fans to download one of two scripts and record themselves reading through it.

Strip Steak with Mushroom Sauce - Easy
At about 6:05pm last night, I decided to make this easy steak dinner. Or, to be more precise, this recipe was the one theHubby selected out of the three I suggested to him at 6:04pm last night.
|Fresh lawn mushroom, about 5 inches across.
This would be an easy recipe even if I had fresh edible mushrooms available. Except that at 6:05pm last night I didn't have fresh edible mushrooms handy. There was this large fresh mushroom growing in the lawn after several days of rain, fog and humidity, but it would have been a bit rash (not to mention possibly fatal) to pick and use it, so that didn't count.
Usually I broil steak, but after noticing many recipes for steak that sing the praises of pan searing, I thought I'd give it a go. I think the purpose is to incorporate all the yummy bits that remain after charring the meat into the mushroom sauce. But I'm not a gourmet, and inexperience showed as the steak, though gorgeous, was ... shall we say ... practically mooing as it was cut. And not in a good way. It took several MINUTES of nuking afterwards to reach medium-rare.
So next time I'll just throw the steak on the barbie and make with mushrooms in the skillet the way I usually do.
I must admit, using canned mushrooms does speed up the process dramatically. Several steps and precious minutes were saved. But the taste was noticeably less spectacular. If you have 10 more minutes to spare (and a pound of mushrooms), please choose the long route. Your family will notice the difference.
HAHAHAHAHAHA! *sniff* HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Okay, they'll shovel the food down, maybe with some chewing even, and probably won't notice the improvement. But you will at least savor dinner.
Strip Steak with Mushroom Sauce - Easy
Serves 2
2 strip steaks
1/4 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. coarsely ground black pepper
1 tsp. olive oil
1 (4 oz.) can sliced (or stems and pieces) mushrooms, drained
1/2 cup marsala wine
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium-high heat.
Sprinkle both sides of steaks with the salt and pepper, then place in a single layer in skillet. Let steaks sit, undisturbed for 5 minutes to sear, then flip and let sear on other side until cooked to desired doneness. Remove steaks to a covered dish to rest; keep warm.
Add mushrooms and wine to skillet. Allow wine to come to a boil. Cook for 3-5 minutes, deglazing pan (scraping up the yummy bits, which also makes cleanup easier later), until liquid is reduced by half.
Plate steak. Spoon mushroom sauce over each steak and serve. Make it diner-style by serving with mashed potatoes and green peas.

This author's celebration of the progress of the United States was written in 1830 during the administration of Andrew Jackson. It presents several typical themes. It notes the inevitable progress of the country through science, commerce and individual self-improvement. It glorifies the triumph over and righteous exploitation of nature. It also points to the promise of the "new world" when compared to the decadence of the "old world." The author claims that in America "the citizen of every clime, and the child of every creed, roams free and untrammeled at the wild winds of heaven." It should be remembered, however, that by 1830 the successes of Southern industry, lauded by the author, were the product of the labor of over 2 million chattel slaves. . Furthermore, the Indian Removal act became law in 1830. By the end of the decade, 47,000 Native Americans would be displaced from the Eastern homelands to the West, either through treaty or through coercion.

Almost every professional team gives a schedule magnet to all fans attending the season-opening game.
A friend who was at a Phillies game during their last home stand took the 2013 magnet with him and gave it to the person at the entrance gate telling him, "I'm returning it because I want to forget this season." He's not alone.
The 2013 season was an eventful one for the Phillies. An iconic and popular manager was fired and a new manager appointed to run the club for at least three years. Ryan Howard spent a huge portion of the season recovering from injuries. A whole host of new faces began to appear regularly, raising both hope and questions. One veteran, Chase Utley, was re-signed and two others, Roy Halladay and Carlos Ruiz, became free agents.
When Charlie Manuel was let go and Ryne Sandberg promoted to take his place, it signaled a new era, one that is not only a transition from the great teams of the past decade to the new teams that are to take their place, but a transition from a fairly casual management style to one that appears to be, after Sandberg's 42 games at the helm, somewhat more rigorous.
Decisions that need to be made before the team arrives for spring training in Clearwater in February are who the coaches will be (an intriguing speculation is the possible return of Larry Bowa), what will be done about Halladay and Ruiz, and what new faces will be acquired.
But that's all in the future. In addition to 2013 being full of changes for the Phillies, it was also a time of real and potential change throughout the sport.
The same week the Phillies fired Manuel, Major League Baseball owners met in Cooperstown, N.Y. Among the items on their agenda was the increased use of video replay, currently restricted to boundary, home run and fan interference calls on balls hit to the outfield.
According to Phillies' president David Montgomery, the issue has been under review for three years. The owners decided that if the umpires and players agree to it, video replay will be increased significantly, possibly as soon as the 2014 playoffs.
The plan is to give each manager one appeal during the game's first six innings and two appeals from the seventh to the end of the game. Any appeal the manager wins can be used again and appeals for the first six innings expire when the seventh frame begins.
Fair and foul, out and safe, trapped balls will all be appealable. Balls and strikes will not.
The manager will have an option: Argue the play or appeal. He can't do both. Once the appeal has been made, the play will be reviewed in a central facility. All the cameras available to the broadcasters and some specifically installed for the purpose will be almost instantly available to the umpires in what the folks in the NHL call the war room.
The entire process is expected to take less than 90 seconds. The current system of appealing home runs etc. will continue as is.
While a number of players retire each season, this year marks the end of one of the sport's greatest careers.
The New York Yankees' closer Mariano Rivera – the greatest closer ever and one of the most respected, beloved players in baseball history – had a send off the likes of which I haven't seen since Wayne Gretsky ended his magnificent NHL career in 1999.
Everywhere Rivera went this season, teams he had shut down consistently since he made his debut as a reliever in 1997 saluted him. He was given emotional standing ovations at the crosstown-rival New York Mets' Citi Field during the All Star Game and, even more surprising, at Boston's Fenway Park.
During his storied career he registered 652 saves. More than that, he has personified class and acted as an ambassador for the game.
When Major League Baseball retired Jackie Robinson's number 42 in 1997 those players who were wearing it at the time were allowed to do so until they retired. Rivera was one of them. It seems totally appropriate that this great player and the immortal Robinson both have their shared number 42 honored in Yankee Stadium.

January 31st ~ On this day in 1901 in Edinburgh, Scotland William Hannan RITCHIE, my 2nd cousin twice removed is born. He will only live for 4 days.
February 2nd ~ On this day in 1838, marriage banns are read for David RITCHIE and Agnes GOURLAY in Ceres, Fife, Scotland. They are my 3x great-grandparents. This day in 1993 is also marked by the death of my granduncle, Windsor Benzie RITCHIE in Ohio.
February 3rd ~ This day is marked by the death of James KIRK, my 5x great-grandfather in 1829 in St. Andrews, Scotland. I am fortunate that there is a marker for him in St. Andrews, erected by his son and that I got to see and photograph it! It was an early Tombstone Tuesday post last year.
This day is also marked by the death of Selma EICKELBERG, my great-grandaunt in Denver, Colorado in 1913. She was just 5 days shy of her 19th birthday.
February 4th ~ On this day in 1897 Edna SAURER is born in Dalton, Wayne County, Ohio. She will become the wife of my great-granduncle Raymond GRABER. She will also cause be no end of problems early in my genealogical "career" as she was born Edna SAURER and became Edna GRABER while her sister-in-law, Raymond's sister, is born Edna GRABER and becomes on marriage Edna SAURER!!! Even when people noted names on the backs of pictures it all depended on who was doing the labeling as even after marriage both women might be noted by a maiden name.
And now for the most special days of this week:
February 6th AND February 7th ~ On these days, some years ago, right before and right after midnight my twin nephew and niece are born. My niece, the one born on the 7th used to say that the 6th was always, "the worst day of the year for me" because on that day her brother would tell her, and anyone who would listen, that HE was a year older! "I'm already x but you are NOT" I'm sure any of you with brothers can imagine. While they are teenagers now, I just couldn't resist using their one-year old birthday party pictures.
Happy Birthday Twins!!

Nissan came out with the announcement that the LEAF will have the same battery warranty as the Volt at 8 years or 100,000 miles.
Nissan came out with the announcement that the LEAF will have the same battery warranty as the Volt at 8 years or 100,000 miles.
What are the limits on technological advancement for electric cars?
I mean, in the mid-90's when the first computers with 1GB hard drives hit the market that seemed out of this world.
I know we are dealing with energy here, not gigabytes, but is it possible in 20 years electric cars/trucks will be able to go for 300-400 miles and beyond?
Yep, battery technology is the key. In 1982 I bought a Commodore 64 for the unheard of low price of $595. If I remember correctly the 64 stood for 64K....
So how quickly will the technology brings things down, and will something else be better (like CNG)?
The Tesla will already go 300 miles but it has more/bigger batteries and a bigger price
Hopefully these are all just growing pains of an emerging technology but I'm not tempted to buy one at this point.
That story has been debunked. A Tesla can sit unplugged for months and months. Tesla's blog says about 12 months.
The only way to do that is pretty much if you are TRYING to damage the car.
It's kind of like the recent story where a NY Times reporter takes a Tesla out on a overnight trip, only to run out of juice. A trip many others have duplicated without problem. Turns out the NY Times guy did all kinds of things to sabotage the trip. Like not plugging in the car overnight.
As for the Leaf, its limitations scream for a lease. Seeing as re-sale is up in the air and as you say miles are limited by the technology, it'd be one of the only cars I'd ever think lease first
That's why I said I would probably do a 2013 Lease if I had to do it all again. But I would definitely get one.
So, if the car retails for $40,000, the dealer gets a $7500 tax break and figures out the lease price based on a $32,500 value for the car. That can take $50-100 off the monthly lease payment, depending on how your work out your deal.
Btw, thanks for a very informative thread.
Were going to get the pitching. -Bob Castellini
You're absolutely right on your lease information. And there are so many variables, and each on the variables is a chance for the dealer to screw you over. One thing that pushed a few more people to lease is the nature of that tax credit. If your total tax bill (not your refund, the amount of taxes you owed) was less than $7500 then your tax credit was reduced. So if your total taxes were $4,000 then $4,000 was your credit. If you lease you can take advantage of the credit no matter your tax.
Because I got the credit, the $40,000 (after taxes, etc.) Leaf really cost me $32,500. So when we are discussing costs, that's the real figure for me.
Since the cost of the Leaf is dropping $4,000 (it's more like 4 not the 6 I mentioned), the same model this year has a net of about $28,000, and the cheapest at $28,800 has a net of $21,300.
And some states have a rebate on top of that to drive down the cost even more. California is $2500 and Georgia is $5,000.

I was watching a show on the Science Channel a few months ago called Futurecar. They had some amazing electric cars on there that people are developing, including some sporty looking high performance cars. The way technology is changing these days, it might not be too many years before they become a little less niche and even affordable for the average person. Right now, $40k is a bit above the price range for quite a few folks.

Thought I might do a follow-up. I've now had the car for 2.5 years and am over 33,000 miles. All the news over the last couple years has been about that battery and the trouble that was brewing in Phoenix spread throughout the South from Phoenix to Jacksonville (spoiler alert).
When the heat starting reducing battery capacity, Nissan's first reaction wasn't a good one. They said that the battery warranty of 8 years or 100,000 miles only covered defects and workmanship and not loss of capacity which they considered normal. Two things started happening: Lawyers started suing, and Nissan started actually working with customer groups. The lawsuits were settled by Nissan adding a provision to the warranty that if you fell below 70% capacity (9 bars) within 60,000 miles and 5 years, they would ensure they kept you above 70%. (9 bars).
They also failed to announce a price for replacement batteries as promised, and they announced an absolutely terrible battery leasing program that would cost $100 a month forever, and if you ever stopped paying Nissan could confiscate the batteries. It was a nightmare of a plan and hated by about 99% of customers.
That was about a year ago. Nissan did a few good things after that.
1) They said "OK we see the $100 a month plan stinks, give us some time to come up with a different plan"
2) They went they extra mile on batteries that fell below 70%. All customers that fell below 9 bars got totally free/new batteries
3) They started working on a "heat resistant" battery, known to the customers (but not Nissan) as the "lizard battery".
It took about 14 months but Nissan has finally come thru on almost everything.
This week they announced that replacement batteries would be $5,500 plus labor (a price everyone was happy with), and they announced that 2015's which are starting to show up, have the Lizard Battery!
They said they are tweaking the $100 lease program and will release details later but you will own the battery not Nissan.
About 95% of people are VERY pleased. Here's how it affects me (cause it's all about me). I lost my first bar of capacity around June of 2013, and then lost my 2nd bar in April 2014. At this point, it looks like I will lose my fourth bar before 60,000 and get a totally new, Lizard Battery pack!! Let's say that happens at 50,000 miles, and maybe I won't need a replacement for another 40,000/50,000 miles. And then if I choose to buy a 3rd pack it's $5500 max.
At this point I'm feeling much, much better about things. The car is still a wonder to drive, and has so many fewer things that can go wrong on it, I feel like I can drive this a long time. And that big payment? I pulled money out of IRA's and paid that sucker off 2 weeks ago. Now I'm riding for "free".

The lowest acceptable payroll amount for ownership to show they are not greedy pigs is 15 million more than they are currently paying. No matter what that currently is.

Good report Jax. Hopefully with Tesla releasing their patents, Nissan can use some of the info to improve their electric cars/batteries.

Ended up having to get a ticket online for about 3 times the price to get there on time. Interesting to read (in the 3 Wise Monkeys article) that he only stole from those who he thought were leaving Korea and not coming back. When I bought my ticket to China from him, the return ticket was from Beijing to Australia, where I was going to visit my sister. I never mentioned to him I was coming back to Korea coz I thought it would be cheaper to just buy a ticket back while I was there. When I got a Korean friend to phone him after I got back about the matter, she said he sounded genuinely shocked and pleaded for us not to sue him. I thought this was a bit odd at the time. I thought, 'what the hell did he expect?'. Anyway he ended up paying me back 1 million of the the 1.5 I originally paid him. I expect I'll never see the remaining W500,000.

Petruchio played by Simon Paisley Day
The Taming of the Shrew (2012)
Written by: William Shakespeare
Simon Paisley Day previously played Timon at the Globe in the 2008 production of Timon of Athens. He now returns to play Petruchio in this season's The Taming of the Shrew.
latest updates
"It really is a sort of rollicking romp...I think we get every bit of humour out of it that Shakespeare would have wanted us to." Simon discusses the play, the theatre, and the audience during performance.
"A mini symphony of attack and humour." Simon describes Pertruchio's first meeting with Kate and further dicusses his key scenes and key relationships in the play.
"He's a bit of a wild one!" Says Simon about Petruchio, as he discusses his initial impressions of the play and his character.
