Careers rarely develop the way we plan them. Our career path often takes many twists and turns, with particular events, choices and people influencing our direction.
We asked Caroline Austin from Irish Tax Institute to give some advice for people considering this job:
A common misconception about a career in tax is that it is just about numbers, however, tax law has a strong basis in legislation and case law. Therefore, it is really suitable for graduates from a legal background, or for qualified solicitors and barristers.
Realists are usually interested in 'things' - such as buildings, mechanics, equipment, tools, electronics etc. Their primary focus is dealing with these - as in building, fixing, operating or designing them. Involvement in these areas leads to high manual skills, or a fine aptitude for practical design - as found in the various forms of engineering.Realists like to find practical solutions to problems using tools, technology and skilled work. Realists usually prefer to be active in their work environment, often do most of their work alone, and enjoy taking decisive action with a minimum amount of discussion and paperwork.
What are Study Skills?
Taking grinds or putting in extra time on study are the two ways that first spring to mind as a way of boosting exam results.
Both these responses to exam anxiety my be useful and worthwhile. However, students tend to overlook that making more efficient and effective use of school and study time is another way to improve exam performance. For some students exploring other ways of 'doing study' may prove the most useful approach to gaining better results and at no extra cost in terms of money or time. We invite you to take a little time out to look closely at the way you study, to examine your 'study methods' and techniques with a view to making improvements to them. Making changes to what you do when you study can bring surprising rewards. The test that follows should give you a good idea of your study performance. The aim of this test is to get you to examine your 'work practice' by as a student and to follow through on the recommendation provided. The process we have developed involves the following steps:
Making changes to the way you have been 'doing study' will not be easy. Old habits die hard. Just like the sportsman or artist introducing a new skill or technique, it must be practiced and perfected until it becomes an automatic and natural part of your approach to study. Most of the suggestion/ideas in this material seem ordinary and common sense. Don't forget, if you make only just one or two changes to your study behaviour and repeat the new method/technique night after night, week after week, term after term the difference then becomes great.
We have several worksheets to support the use of the Study Skills test for secondary school students. Click on the links below to download these sheets in Adobe PDF format.

What's wrong with Gavaskar?Originally Posted by Vande Mataram
He hasn't delivered yet, and IMO no.7 doesn't look like the position for him. Indians might hv done better with Mongia (at 3/4) who has been in some good form playing for Lancashire. Or maybe give Karthik a go instead of Gavaskar at 7. I honestly cant see wht Gavaskar can do at 7 ....Originally Posted by Sudeep
India to be No.1 someday soon !! :)
To me, Gavaskar offers more to the side than Dinesh Mongia. Gavaskar is a well composed batsman, competent part-time bowler and excellent fielder. For mine, Mongia isn't as good with the bat, ball or in the field. He's a proven failure at ODI level and it was a disgrace how he was selected ahead of Laxman in the World Cup.
two reasons that mongia was selected ahead of Laxman was that he is a much better feilder and is not that shocking as laxman is in runing betwen wicketsOriginally Posted by Andre
Neither reason cancels out the more runs that Laxman would have offered though.Originally Posted by biased indian
Devastating. I'm really upset about this. I think we should give up the 7th batsman in this series. Have Kaif come in earlier, and have either an extra bowler or give Karthik a chance to play the specialist keeper.
Well, I guess anything to make sure Sachin is fit and ready for the Australia/India series.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Men with restless legs syndrome (RLS) were more likely to die during an eight-year study than those without the condition, even after their age and other health problems were taken into account, researchers found.
The condition, which remains controversial, causes unpleasant sensations in the legs when a person is at rest, triggering an uncontrollable urge to move the legs to get relief.
Its exact cause is unknown, but RLS has been linked to heart problems and to early deaths among people with kidney disease (see Reuters Health story of Sept 16, 2011 here: http://reut.rs/pQJZ41).
Prior studies have come to mixed conclusions on whether RLS plays a role in early deaths in general - and some researchers have accused drug companies and the media of "disease mongering" to make RLS seem worse than it is.
"There was a lot of debate about whether RLS was a real disease several years ago. More and more people think RLS is a real disease," said Dr. Xiang Gao, who worked on the new study at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.
But, he added, "We still know very little about its clinical consequences."
His team's data come from a large study of U.S. health professionals launched in the mid-1980s. In 2002, 18,425 of those men were asked about symptoms of RLS - and 690 said they had uncomfortable leg sensations at least five times per month.
Gao and his colleagues tracked study participants until 2010, when 15,660 were still alive. After taking in account men's age, weight, chronic diseases and lifestyle, they found those who'd reported having RLS were 30 percent more likely to die during the study period.
For those without any chronic conditions such as cancer or high blood pressure - the "relatively healthy group," according to the authors - RLS was tied to a 92 percent higher chance of dying early, they reported Wednesday in Neurology.
Gao speculated that poor sleep quality, worsening heart health and obesity could all factor into the link between restless legs and earlier death.
"All of them could be potential mechanisms, but we still don't know which one," he told Reuters Health. "Maybe they work together."
"It could be the pain (of RLS) or it could be the sleep loss that causes the problem," said Dr. Brian Murray, a sleep researcher at Sunnybrook Research Institute and the University of Toronto, who wasn't involved in the new study.
"Or it could be there's an underlying problem like renal failure or iron deficiency that's associated with restless legs."
The new study doesn't prove that restless legs syndrome, itself, puts men at higher risk of dying. And researchers don't know if potentially different causes of RLS affect long-term risks differently - or whether the link also applies to women.
"I think we're making some significant progress in gaining understanding, but we don't have the full story yet," Murray told Reuters Health.
RLS can be treated with medications, including pramipexole (marketed as Mirapex) and ropinirole (Requip), both drugs for Parkinson's disease. Symptoms may also go away with lifestyle changes, such as relaxation, exercise, getting enough iron and avoiding caffeine.
"We don't know yet, will treatment of the restless legs help reduce mortality?" Murray said. "We know there's an association with a problem, but we don't know if treating it will reduce that risk."

How to Plan iPad Podcast Assignments for Students
With classroom iPads, students can create both audio and video podcasts. How should teachers plan iPad podcast assignments and lessons that test students' communication and collaboration skills? How can teachers best integrate podcasts into their curriculums? Finally, how should such podcast assignments be structured and graded?
Any educational project or activity benefits from careful forethought and planning; that's most certainly the case with the creation of a podcast. Start by defining what you're preparing. You want students to research, plan, and script a broadcast that can be published in a location where it becomes available for others to hear at any time.
You may allow others to subscribe to future podcasts in the series as appropriate. The teacher will define the private or public extent of the audience.
Although this article focuses on audio-based podcasting, there's also the option to incorporate images and video in a podcast.
Look for opportunities to create iPad educational podcasts
Start by looking for opportunities to augment familiar old written projects with podcasting. Consider broadcasting activities either within or outside your standard curriculum. The following list offers some ideas:
Archives: Many colleges and schools are using video podcasts as a way of archiving lessons or snippets of lessons for future reference. You can use archived podcasts to allow absent students to review lectures, activities, and assignments they missed, or to prepare substitute teachers to give particular lessons.
Oral histories: Podcasting can be used for interviewing family members and creating oral histories.
Special projects: Use podcasts for special projects such as "This Week in History." Incorporate research and mock interviews.
Collaboration: Any assignment that requires collaboration can be turned into a podcast
Create a modern version of the old broadcast radio dramas. Find some episodes of old dramas on the Internet and play them for students. Websites such as The Internet Archive and RadioLovers have libraries of old radio shows you can listen to for free. Discuss how they were produced. Afterward, your students can write, produce, and publish their own episodes.
Professional development: Podcasting and its close cousin, screencasting, can be used for professional development. Have teachers record tutorials and examples of technology use and then share them.
Communication: Use podcasts to communicate within the community and with parents. Students can manage and produce their own podcasts such as "What We Learned This Week," "Upcoming Events," "News around School," and so on.
Allow students license in creating iPad educational podcasts
Technology empowers students to be creative. Don't make the mistake of giving them the technology and then mandating how it's to be used ("Submit a three-minute recording of the main achievements of Abraham Lincoln"). Children can do amazing things with technology when you give them the trust and autonomy to be creative.
California schools have a unit on the missions in California every year. They have a field trip to a mission, and then they research the missions and submit a written assignment. In 2012, the teachers allowed students to take their iPads. Students recorded the bells, conducted interviews, snapped pictures, shot video, and more.
They were given the opportunity and incentive to actually listen when they visited the mission and really look at structures they would normally ignore. Now they were searching for fine details that would make interesting photo opportunities. They were talking and asking questions of people at the mission. Giving students the freedom to use media creatively allowed them to experience the mission on a deeper level.
Clarify the iPad podcast planning process
Podcasting isn't just about the actual recording. The most effective learning may come in the preparatory stages, during which students research, collaborate, script, interview, and contact outside experts. Podcasting encompasses valuable skills above and beyond the simple act of recording, and students will be enthusiastic and immersed in planning a production.
Make sure that you clarify what you expect of them in these planning stages. If you are evaluating their work, the most important part of the evaluation may occur before the actual podcast. Create and share a rubric and any required deliverables.
Collaboration and educational iPad podcasts
Podcasts are generally done in groups, and you might think that all you need to do is throw students together and the ingredients will magically cook themselves into a great collaborative assignment. You know that isn't the case.
There are always the students who dominate the discussions and others who remain quiet. Some will do the tasks they enjoy but avoid more mundane duties. And of course, there are those who leave the work to others, members of that latter group who get angry and resentful at having to complete most of the project themselves.
Plan collaboration carefully. Some teachers have been successful defining roles for team members and then drawing numbers to decide which roles are assigned to each member. Others create groups that combine students with different skills.
Consider the technical issues of creating educational iPad podcasts
Where and how will students record? How do you minimize background noise? What apps will be used for recording, editing, and publishing? Do you need external props such as microphones or stands?
The Internet is a wonderful resource, and many educators have gone down this road. Reach out to other teachers in online educational communities or sites such as Twitter. There's a wealth of knowledge and experienced teachers willing to help you get started.
Publish student educational iPad podcasts
The practice of podcasting has traditionally meant uploading a series of recordings to iTunes, where listeners can subscribe and listen to them at any time.
There are now a variety of sites and services to create and store recordings. Some even enable live online broadcasts in both audio and video format.

Steig's method massacred
Ryan O'Donnell has posted a splendid pictorial guide to the oddities of Eric Steig's method for creating trends in the Antarctic. If you have been one of the people not following the story too well so far, here's a little layman's version of the posting, which assumes no prior knowledge. I hope this helps.
There's a lot of talk of the Antarctic peninsula. This is fairly obvious at the left hand side of each map below. The name refers only to the narrow bit of land though. The slightly fatter bit that joins the Peninsula to the main part of the Antarctic continent is West Antarctica.
Now Steig's method purported to show that he whole continent was warming, and particularly West Antarctica. Previously it had been thought that only the peninsula was warming.
Here's Steig's original result with the warming showing up as the dark colour in West Antarctica.
O'Donnell has now shown what happens when you artificially add warming or cooling trends to some of the weather stations included in the dataset. Firstly see what happens when you add some warming to stations in the Peninsula. As you go from left to right in the map below, more and more warming is being added, but only to the peninsula stations. However, mangled by Steig's algorithm, this extra warmth turns up as warming, not in the Peninsula, but in West Antarctica.
Now what happens when you cool those same Peninsula stations down? As you can see, the effect is to cool down the south Pole and, erm, to make West Antarctica warmer...
Now see what happens when you add warmth to stations that are actually in West Antarctica. Not much actually...
And what about cooling them down? No, that has no effect either.
So what the Steig method does is to take any warmth in the Peninsula and spread it out over West Antarctica. In other words, Steig's result is an artefact of his methodology and not something that is inherent in his data.
Game, set and match.

Poor began making sketches in September 1939 and in April 1940 began the actual painting. He worked in true fresco, painting directly on the wet plaster that was freshly applied (by his daughter Anne, who became a notable artist in her own right) each morning. The pigment thus became part of the wall itself. Poor finished the fresco on June 18, 1940, and it soon won acclaim among artists and critics nationwide.
In December 1941, the senior, junior, and sophomore classes voted to allot funds for a continuation of the mural along the east and west walls, but plans had to be held in abeyance until after World War II. Students then raised enough money to re-engage Poor, who in November 1948 returned to Old Main to undertake additional frescoes on either side of the original. Completed in June 1949, the newer portions symbolized Penn State's post-war academic and extracurricular activities and services to the Commonwealth.
The entire mural covers more than 1,300 square feet. It endows the University with a unique and priceless work of art as well as a depiction of its history for the contemplation of generations to come.
The public is invited to view the frescoes in Old Main, on the University Park campus, during business hours (8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday) and during occasional special events.

iOS Rock Band gets back together
Blue note as error spread confusion, anger
EA's iOS version of Rock Band isn't breaking up, after all.
Yesterday we reported that players of the app were seeing a message advising them of the game's demise.
EA has since stated that's not the case and has sent us a statement to this effect:
"Rock Band for iOS will remain live - the in-app message users received yesterday was sent in error. We apologize for the confusion this caused. We're working to clarify the issue that caused the error and will share additional information as soon as possible."
We pressed EA to ask why, if the in-app message was a mistake, it also posted the message below to its forums, which we nabbed as a screen shot.
EA has told us "That was also posted in error" and that the page in question has been updated with correct information. ®

Ryan's House campaign boosts Mitt
Paul Ryan supporters in the final weeks before Election Day are knocking on doors, putting up yard signs, running ads and holding campaign events in Wisconsin.
It might seem like they belong to the Mitt Romney-Paul Ryan campaign, but in fact, they aren't affiliated with the presidential race at all. They're part of Ryan's congressional reelection bid.
Story Continued Below
While the volunteers are walking precincts, Ryan's House campaign is buying $2 million worth of TV ads in Milwaukee and Madison this fall, blanketing important areas in the state for potential swing voters in the presidential race.
The first Ryan for Congress ad, "America has a choice," pushes for a limited, efficient government and other ideals supported by Romney's campaign and does not specifically mention Ryan's House race until the disclosure statement at the end.
Unlike Joe Biden and Joe Lieberman, recent vice presidential candidates who also simultaneously ran for reelection to another office, Ryan's in a competitive state for the presidential race, meaning that what his House campaign does in Wisconsin matters on a larger scale. In other words, Ryan for Congress has the potential to serve as a legal, proxy campaign for Romney's presidential bid in Wisconsin, which offers 10 electoral votes.
Evan Tracey, founder and former president of Campaign Media Analysis Group, which tracks media buys, said Ryan's congressional ads are a way for the Romney campaign to tout what the vice presidential nominee stands for and also circumvent the cap on the number of political ads local stations typically have for each candidate.
"What the Ryan buys do is allow Romney-Ryan to get an extra spot," Tracey said. "This is more about the presidential race than about the congressional race — $2 million is a lot of money for a House race in Wisconsin that isn't competitive.
"What he's doing is putting his money to work. … It's pretty smart actually," Tracey added. "It's a case in which they are using the rulebook in their favor."
Ryan had $5.4 million in the bank for his House campaign as of the end of June, but new figures won't be released until Oct. 15, so it's possible that the local race can be a legal outlet for maxed-out Romney donors who want to make sure their money will be spent in a swing state, albeit indirectly.
"I'm sure there is concern in the Obama camp about that," said Lisa Gilbert, deputy director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch division. "It's not quite a loophole, but he has the ability to attract donors to two races in a pivotal swing state. It's just an unfortunate truth of the race from the president's side."
Kevin Seifert, Ryan's campaign manager, said any influence the House race has on the bigger picture is unintentional.
"They're very independent campaigns," he said, adding that there has been very little communication between the two campaigns.
Brendan Buck, spokesman for the Romney campaign, agreed.
"The two campaigns operate independently and by the law," Buck said in an email. "Our team is 100 percent focused on making sure Mitt Romney is elected president."
Romney has made three trips to Wisconsin and attended 18 campaign events since announcing his candidacy. The Romney campaign also spent more than $127,000 on ads that aired in the week of Sept. 12 and Sept. 18 alone on local stations in Milwaukee, according to the Federal Communications Commission's political ad database.

Data Management Plan Guidance
The purpose of a Data Management Plan (DMP) is to address the management of data from Earth science missions, from the time of their data collection/observation, to their entry into permanent archives.
The NASA Procedural Requirements (NPR) 7120.8 document states the requirement for a data management plan. Consistent with this requirement, for each of the Earth science missions, NASA Earth Science Division (ESD) requires the responsible projects to develop a DMP as stated in the Level 1 Requirement below:
"All terms and conditions of the transfer of data products and associated information to the NASA Earth Science Division (ESD)-assigned data center shall be documented in a Data Management Plan that has been approved by the Earth Science Data and Information System Project."
The purpose of the following document is to provide guidelines for the DMP, to make the assembly of DMPs easier for the projects, and to ensure that DMPs will be in a consistent and useful format. The outline of this document is the recommended outline for all DMPs.

Nutrition for the Person With Cancer During Treatment
Nutrition is an important part of cancer treatment. Eating the right kinds of foods before, during, and after treatment can help you feel better and stay stronger. Chances are, if you are reading this booklet either you or someone you care about is going through cancer treatment. The American Cancer Society has prepared this guide to help you and your loved ones cope with treatment side effects that might affect how well you can eat.
Not everyone has nutrition-related side effects, but this guide will help you address them if and when they come up. You don't have to read straight through all of the information here. You can just read the sections you need and use the information that applies to you.
The information in this guide is not meant to replace the advice of a medical professional. If you have any questions or concerns, you should talk to a doctor, nurse, or dietitian about your nutritional needs. A registered dietitian (RD) can be one of your best sources of information about your diet. If you are going to meet with a dietitian, be sure to write down your questions before your meeting so you won't forget anything. And be sure to ask the dietitian to repeat or explain anything that's not clear. If you have questions about something in this guide, a dietitian can give you a more detailed explanation.
You can find more detailed discussion of nutrition before, during, and after cancer treatment in our book called American Cancer Society Complete Guide to Nutrition for Cancer Survivors: Eating Well, Staying Well During and After Cancer.

DNAinfo.com New York Launches First-Ever NYC Public Schools Guide
By: Press Release | DNAinfo New York
New York, NY — February 11, 2013 — New York City parents seeking the perfect elementary school now have an invaluable resource at DNAinfo.com/NYCSchoolsGuide. Designed as the most comprehensive resource available about the city's primary schools, the NYC Public Schools Guide details top public schools in neighborhoods across the five boroughs.
The Guide, available online and in print, includes an interactive web tool that enables parents to search their neighborhood elementary schools to compare with others in each district, and across the city. The ranking is based on the percentage of 4th graders at each school who passed the English Language Arts (ELA) tests.
"Of all the decisions parents must make in New York City, none inspires more stress than where to send your child to school," said Julie Shapiro, DNAinfo.com New York's NYC Kids Editor. "We've highlighted the most popular, high-performing elementary schools alongside up-and-coming programs that are just beginning to attract buzz."
The Guide also includes details on 2013 zoning changes, magnet and dual-language programs, schools with lengthy waiting lists and new kindergarten application procedures. Parents can also find specifics on special education, pre-Kindergarten and gifted and talented programs.
"Over the last several months, our reporters have talked to dozens of parents, teachers and principals about what makes their schools special in neighborhoods from Park Slope to Astoria. Our goal is to help parents navigate the overwhelming array of options no matter what part of the city they live in," said Michael P. Ventura, managing editor of DNAinfo.com New York.
The full NYC Public Schools Guide is available here: DNAinfo.com/NYCSchoolsGuide.

Fruit, veggies help older women keep weight off
It looks like eating more fruits and vegetables is the not-so-surprising secret to weight control for older women.
It's a common complaint as waistlines widen with advancing birthdays, especially for post-menopausal women, who typically say, "I'm eating the same, but the numbers on the scale just keep creeping higher." What's not the same, unfortunately, is the body's metabolic rate, which naturally slows down with age. Add to that a lifestyle that's often less active, and you've got the math to verify that calories in vs. calories out can move the scales in the wrong direction.
Sure, you can step up the exercise regime and vow never to order dessert again. But according to a new study of nearly 500 overweight women in their 50s and 60s, it's what they were adding to their meals that ultimately helped them lose weight and keep it off.
Bethany Barone Gibbs and colleagues at the University of Pittsburgh studied eating habits of women who lost weight during short term (six months) and long term (four years). The highly motivated dieters in the six-month group ate fewer desserts and fried foods, drank fewer sugar-sweetened beverages and ate more fish.
After four years, the women were still saying "no" to pie and soda fairly often, but the habit that emerged as the most powerful predictor for long-term weight loss was eating more fruits and vegetables, followed by eating less meat and cheese. And they weren't necessarily skipping fried foods.
"People are so motivated when they start a weight-loss program," said Barone Gibbs. "You can say, 'I'm never going to eat another piece of pie,' and you see the pounds coming off. Eating fruits and vegetables may not make as big a difference in your caloric intake. But that small change can build up and give you a better long-term result, because it's not as hard to do as giving up french fries forever."
During the four-year study, the number of times dieters ate out in restaurants declined, but Barone Gibbs chalks that up to the downturn in the economy, not a sign that eating out less is linked to weight loss.
A weight-control study published in the September issue of The Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics showed that adding just two servings of fruit and vegetables to a daily diet was linked to a 3-pound weight loss over four years. This may not sound like much, but keep in mind that most folks gain weight every year.
It turns out the small changes we can sustain during the long haul make the biggest difference in life-long weight control. So a perfect meal for me would be a big green salad, grilled fish with lemon and, yup, french fries.

Hunting Anubis is a flight combat game, but it's one that looks quite unique. Imagine Rez snapped off its rails and stripped of its colour and you're getting close.
While the terrain looks fictional, it's not; the game's all about drones, so you're seeing the real world, only through the eyes of a heartless death robot.
It's due for final release later this year, but if you want to play it now (warning: the keyboard controls are a bit rough), there's an open beta you can try out here.

John James Audubon (April 26, 1785-January 27, 1951) was born in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (modern-day Haiti) as Jean-Jacques Audubon. In 1803, he immigrated to the United States in flight of the Napoleonic Wars where he became fascinated with his natural surroundings and decided to pursue his early interest in birds and ornithology. He began a careful study of American birds, spurring his early experiments with bird-banding. Throughout his young life, Audubon amassed a collection of his own paintings and engraving plates of birds, and at the age of 41, decided to travel to England, where he gained instant attention. He soon raised enough money to publish Birds of America, his seminal work that inspired the Audubon Society to adopt him as their namesake. Audubon's careful studies of American wildlife have made him internationally renowned for his watercolors, pastels, and engravings. View all of John James Audubon's work.
At the age of 35, John James Audubon embarked upon a mission to paint every bird in North America. In 1838, that project saw completion. Working with British engravers, Audubon transformed his watercolor and pastel works into what is now known as Birds of America. A total of 87 sets of five prints - making a total of 435 plates - were released between 1827 and 1838. By 1839, Audubon, along with the ornithologist William MacGillivray, published an accompanying text under the title Ornithological Biography. Eventually, due to popular demand and the great expense of the plates, Audubon released a bound, octavo edition, adding an additional 65 plates. Audubon's Birds of America has stood the test of time both for his artistic proficiency and his ornithological expertise, and is one of the most treasured books of the nineteenth century.

Mozilla, the company behind the Firefox web browser, is launching an open-source mobile operating system for smartphones.
It'll use the Firefox brand, and the first phone will be manufactured by TCL Communication Technology. The phone will launch on a big number of global networks, including Sprint.
It's an operating system that will be based on HTML 5, a web-based development language that powers applications that run in mobile browsers.
The first Firefox phone will launch commercially in Brazil in early 2013. There's no word on a U.S. launch date.
It's built on Mozilla's "Boot to Gecko" project, which will be adapted so that all of its phone features are HTML 5 applications.
Like Android, the Firefox mobile operating system will be open source — meaning developers will be able to access any and all information about the operating system they need to build killer apps.
Firefox and Mozilla are absolute darlings in the developer community. So, today's announcement should have Google and Apple at least a little concerned.

Everything Everywhere, the company formed from the combined forces of Orange and T-Mobile in the UK, has today been rebranded as EE to coincide with the company's launch of the UK's first 4G services.
The new brand will officially sit alongside Orange and T-Mobile but users will soon see their phone's signal indicator showing EE rather than Orange or T-Mobile.
The only brand of the three to offer 4G services, along with fibre optic broadband access, EE is being tipped as the nation's speedy network with the UK's first 4G networks set to be rolled out across major cities in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the company has announced that it sees Orange maintaining a purpose for those that want more from their phone, with the Orange offer schemes, and those that want fast 3G. As for T-Mobile, it's being positioned in somewhat murkier waters as the straight-up, good value offering.
Confirming the 4G rollout will start with trials in London, Birmingham, Cardiff and Bristol in the near future, EE has revealed that once tested it will introduce the high-speed service to 16 more cities by Christmas. EE also hopes to make London the first fully covered 4G European city. Further down the line, the company hopes to have 98% UK coverage by 2014.
Unveiling the new EE brand alongside the company's whizzy animated logo at the London Science Museum this morning, September 11th, EE Chief Executive Olaf Swantee described the UK's move from 3G to 4G networks as "the communications equivalent of the change the jet engine made over steam."
With the EE brand looking to highlight its new digital focus, the UK's first 4G network, which will feature an aqua and yellow logo for its consumer brand and a more demure grey and ivory offering for business use, received a rousing endorsement with Mayor of London Boris Johnson hailing the company's intent to bring London "the greatest 4G network in the world."
As the UK lags behind the likes of the US and some European nations with its as yet nonexistent 4G networks, regulator Ofcom earlier this year controversially endorsed Everything Everywhere's plans to reuse its current mobile spectrum to introduce new, faster 4G services.
Whilst the introduction of 4G to the UK is sure to appeal to customers, speaking with The Telegraph, Mark Newman of Informa Telecoms and Media has suggested EE will face a number of hurdles to overcome before 4G is widely adopted.
"EE will have to be careful about over-promising on 4G capabilities particularly given that the network will only cover 30% of the population by the end of this year," He said. "It will need to strike a balance between extolling the virtues of 4G in terms of speed and latency while, at the same time, continuing to invest in, and market its 3G network capability."
Although EE has yet to offer any pricing structures for its first 4G services, it is believed early adaptors will need to part with at least £40 per month in order to make use of the 3G toppling network. Whilst a plethora of 4G enabled handsets are already available, it is believed the upcoming iPhone 5 will be one of the first devices to be made available for the new EE network.
Are you chomping at the bit to sign up to the UK's first 4G network? Will you be making the jump to EE or holding out for more competition, stronger coverage and cheaper prices? Let us know via the comments boxes below or through the Trusted Reviews Twitter and Facebook feeds.

I finally downloaded my tombstone pictures from my backup CD. It is a good thing I have things backed up two or three times.
Katharina Rauscher Sperl Nosseck was my husband great grandmother. She is buried in St. Anthony Catholic Cemetery in Allegheny County PA. Joseph Nosseck was her second husband. According to the census records Joseph had been married two times before, all three of the women were named Catherine/Katharina. I have to find out more about them.
Can anyone out there translate the inscription? I know it starts out Here in this rose garden, and mentions wife and children.
Katharina lost many children. I think the only Sperl child that lived was Chucks grandfather John. She had two other children by Joseph Nosseck and they had two daughters who also lived to adulthood.
I have a lot of questions yet to be answered.

National Writing Project (II-C-2)
The National Writing Project is a nonprofit educational organization that supports programs to train classroom teachers to teach writing effectively to their students. This program supports the expansion and continued activities of the National Writing Project and the dissemination of effective professional development practices.
How It Works
This is a noncompetitive grant award to the National Writing Project, which is an educational organization that contracts with institutions of higher education and other nonprofit organizations to provide professional development activities to teachers, educating them in how to effectively teach writing to students. The professional development activities that are supported through the National Writing Project train teachers in all disciplines from kindergarten to college, and are conducted during the school year and summer months. The National Writing Project sites also maintain a network of teachers who provide professional development training in writing for their colleagues.
Key Requirements
The National Writing Project must enter into contracts with institutions of higher education and nonprofit education providers that will establish and operate programs that train teachers to teach writing effectively. The program also must establish a national advisory board to advise it on issues related to student writing and teaching writing. In addition, the program must establish a National Review Board to review and recommend applications for assistance.
How It Achieves Quality
The National Writing Project must ensure high quality within the local sites that are funded through ongoing review, evaluation, and technical assistance. The program also supports and promotes local sites' dissemination of effective practices and researchers' findings on teaching writing.
How Quality Is Measured
Quality will be measured through an independent evaluation of the teacher training programs funded through the National Writing Project. The evaluation will be conducted by the secretary of education.

Pope sets example for other aging leaders: Our View
USA Today Editorial
One of Benedict's greatest legacies might be leaving by his own accord.
It's not often than anyone gets to shatter 600 years of precedent, but in announcing his resignation Monday, Pope Benedict XVI, did that and much more.
By retiring at 85, he gave other aging leaders — in the church and outside of it — a lot to think about. "Both strength of mind and body are necessary" to govern, the pope said in his official statement, adding that his strength was deteriorating. He no longer believes he could "adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me."
So how old is too old? It depends on the individual and his or her role.
With the faithful fleeing the Church in the U.S. (immigrants excluded), secularism rising and an assortment of complex problems on the agenda, the Church seems certain to benefit from an infusion of youth at the top.
But leaders in other fields might take Benedict's cue as well.
In the 1950s and 1960s, most Supreme Court justices retired in their 60s and 70s. More recently, justices have stayed on, often into their mid-80s and until they are quite ill. The most recent retiree, John Paul Stevens, was 90 years old. Among current justices, Ruth Bader Ginsburg will turn 80 next month; two others — Antonin Scalia and Anthony Kennedy — are 76, not necessarily too old to bring their skills to bear but old enough to sense their decline and weigh the consequences.
In 1980, Ronald Reagan, at 69, was the oldest president ever elected, and in his first term he was extraordinarily effective. But by the end of his second term, he was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, disclosed only after he left office. The late senator Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., was still in office at 100, the oldest senator ever to serve. By then he was in a wheelchair and constantly tended by aides. Did that really best serve the people of South Carolina?
On Capitol Hill, leaders, at least, seem to be trending younger. Former House speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and now the minority leader, is 72. Speaker John Boehner is 63.
There is no magic age for retirement. Companies that make it mandatory at 65 throw away a lot of talent. But when someone passes 80 and a job requires world travel or 12-hour days or little or no time off, it might be time to think about slowing down.
The pontiff's predecessor, the widely admired John Paul II, was elected pope at the vigorous age of 58. But in his final years, he was plagued by Parkinson's disease and knee and hip ailments. Together, they made it difficult for him to walk or stand or speak properly and drained his energy.
One of Benedict's greatest legacies might be the precedent he has set by leaving of his own accord, making retirement an acceptable word in the Vatican's vocabulary.

WWE had the chance to prove critics wrong with the 17th edition of SummerSlam live from the Air Canada Center in SLAM!'s hometown of Toronto. With a card that had four potential show stealers, it was a vital step towards rebuilding the company. Instead, the crowd did the wave during one of the world title matches and it will go down in history as one of the most forgettable SummerSlams of all time, a shame considering this event is usually a highlight of the year.
The Wave wasn't the only thing the crowd did. Toronto is usually rabid, but frequently sat on their hands when they weren't a) Booing hometown boy Edge. b) Chanting "Eugene Sucks" or. c) Chanting "Virgil" at Orlando Jordan or "Spanish Announce Table," which at first sounded like "We Want Sable."
There's been a common statement as of late regarding matches involving John "Bradshaw" Layfield. "Well, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be." It is not a good sign when people think so highly of the champion that "it wasn't bad" is the best they can come up with. A dull listless brawl that I actually fell asleep during the first viewing, Bradshaw concentrated on Undertaker's leg while the challenger tended to lock on submission moves. You could see the legit anger on Taker's face when he looked up and saw the crowd doing the "wave." When Taker whipped Bradshaw into referee Nick Patrick, Jordan tossed the belt in and then dragged Patrick over and used his hand to count, only getting a two count. When Bradshaw attempted to punch Taker in the corner, Taker nailed him with the Last Ride for the two count, and then nailed him with the belt, resulting in a disqualification. The crowd booed as Taker dragged JBL to the limo, slammed him onto the hood, and then chokeslammed him through the fabric roof of the vehicle. After Taker left Bradshaw was wheeled out on a stretcher as the crowd chanted "Hey Goodbye."
The polar opposite was the great match between Chris Benoit and challenger Randy Orton. Although his Backlash match with Mick Foley was a better performance, the SummerSlam finisher was Orton's best wrestling match to date. The crowd reminded Earl Hebner of his "screwy" past as the two locked up and went through the feeling out process and mat wrestling before Orton missed a dropkick and Benoit attempted a sharpshooter, which Orton reversed into one of his own, which was then reversed by Benoit. They ended up on the apron where Benoit connected with a DDT on the apron, hit a baseball slide, and then dove through the ropes with a tope, missing and hitting the barricade headfirst. Orton took advantage and worked over Benoit's neck.
The two traded reversals and suplexes before Benoit hit three Germans, Orton tried to break free and ended up in three more resulting in a loud ovation from the crowd. The diving headbutt was signaled for, and Benoit took flight right into Orton's raised feet in an awesomely stiff looking shot that resulted in a two count that was reversed into a crossface. Orton broke free, Benoit blocked the RKO, Orton went to the other side and hit it, covering Benoit for the clean pin.
Orton celebrated and the fans gave him a "respect ovation." Benoit left the ring and then returned and extended his hand saying, "Be a man." The two shook hands and Orton continued to celebrate, sans Evolution. Even as a heel, there were genuine tears in his eyes and he seemed in awe of his win. If one thing can be said about the wrestling business lately, it's that the genuine emotion of title wins this year from Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit and Randy Orton can't be faked; it's real and it shows that to at least some people, the World Title means something.
At least something does.
The next WWE Pay Per View is RAW presents Unforgiven on September 12 from Portland, Oregon.
SummerSlam 2004 Results
Rey Mysterio & The Baby AJ's vs. The Dudley Boyz.
A hot opener that saw London finally get a chance to shine on pay per view. Some great double team moves including London springing off Kidman's back and taking out Bubba with a senton dive. A Hart attack by Rey and Kidman on Spike set up a slingshot by Kidman to the second rope and a 619. The older Dudz broke it up and took Kidman out with the 3D before letting Spike take the pin.
Winners: The Dudley Boyz
Rating: 6 out of 10.
Till Death Do Us Part Match: Kane vs. Matt Hardy
Practically a squash, the crowd didn't care at all as Hardy attacked Kane at the outset, hitting a side effect from the second rope. A sloppy Tornado DDT also got a two count, as did a shot with the ring bell. Hardy went to the top rope, but Kane caught him as he came off in a choke which Hardy fought out of and went for a Twist Of Fate, Kane shoved him off and hit a big boot to the face. Kane went to the top rope, but Hardy crotched him and went for a top rope DDT. Kane blocked it, and hit a top rope chokeslam for the three count. Lita, who is starting to show the pregnancy, looked less than happy.
Winner: Kane
Rating: 3/10
Backstage Randy Orton started to cut a promo on being the best star in the WWE when John Cena interrupted and thanked him for the introduction, offering him some free merch later. He then said "Hey T.Dot, can you hear me" Do you think Randy Orton will beat Chris Benoit tonight"" The resounding boos made it clear how the Toronto crowd felt about that idea. An irritated Orton finished his promo promising to become the youngest world champion.
Best of Five series - Match 1: Booker T vs. John Cena.
Benoit vs. Booker this was not. Heck this was barely Stevie Ray vs. Booker, and if they are going to try and get five matches out of this series they better start getting creative. After some jaw jacking the two finally locked up with Booker getting the advantage. After some "WWE Style" wrestling things picked up with Booker missing an ax kick and Cena taking advantage before Booker hit a flapjack. The US champion did a spin-a-roonie... right into the F-U.
Winner: John Cena
Rating: 3/10
Eric Bischoff, who recently celebrate two years in office, popped into Smackdown GM Teddy Long's office, reminding him of the fact that every time there is a cross brand PPV there is a new GM, mentioning he has outlasted Stephanie McMahon, Paul Heyman and Kurt Angle and that Long wouldn't last to Survivor Series. In response, Long told Bischoff that any RAW superstar who was tired of Bischoff he would gladly sign to Smackdown including nephew Eugene.
Intercontinental Title Match: Edge vs. Chris Jericho vs. Batista.
Wow, did the fans dump on hometown boy Edge, roundly booing him and chanting "Y2J" as well as "We Want Christian." Isn't the point of a three-way match that there are three competitors" All three were in the ring together for 20 seconds at the most, when Batista broke up the Walls of Jericho. The RAW singles match was substantially better as aside from a nice dropkick by Jericho on the outside driving Batista's head into the stairs it didn't offer much. Jericho sent Batista off the apron with a springboard dropkick and was speared and pinned at under ten minutes.
Winner: ... and STILL Intercontinental Champion: Edge
Rating: 4/10
There will be argument over which match was better, this or the main event. The match built around Angle constantly going for the ankle lock, as well as trying to remove Guerrero's boot in a nod to their Wrestlemania match. The crowd unfortunately wasn't into the match until things picked up with Guerrero hitting an Angle Slam and the triple-suplexes, now dubbed the "Three Amigos." I can see it now "He's hit the Steve Martin, can he hit the Martin Short" yes he did! Here comes the trifecta" yes a perfect Chevy Chase!" (I really hope somebody gets that since I lied, cheated and stole it.) The first Frog Splash attempt was stopped with a pop-up superplex. The second attempt saw Guerrero crash into the canvas when Angle moved, removing Guerrero's boot and twisting the ankle sans boot, it looked sick. He fought out, but was soon trapped in it again and forced to tap out.
Winner: Kurt Angle
Rating 8/10
Triple-H vs. Eugene
Winner: Triple H.
Rating: 5/10.
Diva Dodgeball
So let me get this straight, Rob Van Dam was on Heat, neither tag title was defended, yet we get this garbage" Total, total crap that saw "Team Dream" dominate the women who actually earned their contracts, well, most of them. After it was over Trish and Victoria got into it, since, you know, the women are supposed to be feuding. But hey, maybe on RAW we can see more Ice Cream covered breasts. Ugh.
Winners: Technically, the contestants. In reality anyone who went to the bathroom.
Rating: Not worth rating.
WWE Championship Match: John "Bradshaw" Layfield vs. The Undertaker.
Winner: ... and STILL WWE Champion: John "Bradshaw" Layfield via DQ.
Rating: 2/10.
World Championship Match: Chris Benoit vs. Randy Orton
Winner: ... and NEW World Champion: Randy Orton
Rating: 8/10
Overall Rating: 5/10

Sanford News Writer
SANFORD — City councilors have decided to put "More in Return," their proposed trash metering program, into voters' hands during a referendum ballot on June 11.
"More in Return" is being proposed to encourage recycling and reduce the costs of solid waste disposal. City officials and representatives of the company that would administer the program recently concluded six public forums to provide information and answer questions.
"We've learned a lot," said City Manager Steven Buck during Tuesday's council workshop. "There are a lot of people in our community that are passionate about recycling."
Many people have been recycling for years, Buck added, and they are upset when they see that their neighbors are not recycling.
Councilor Fred Smith, a member of the solid waste subcommittee, said he spoke to a resident at the final public forum on Monday, who said he lives near the North Berwick line and knows that people from other towns (that have disposal programs or restrictions) are dropping off their trash in front of neighbor's houses for Sanford to pick-up.
"We're going to see more and more dumping from surrounding communities," said interim Mayor Maura Herlihy at Tuesday's workshop. "We have to do something."
"We think overall the citizens of Sanford want to see recycling," said Councilor Brad Littlefield, also a member of the council's solid waste subcommittee.
The committee worked with WasteZero, the administrator of the "pay-as-you-throw" trash disposal program that the council implemented in 2010. The program was thrown out four months later by voter referendum.
During the four months that pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) was in effect, Sanford's recycling rate more than tripled (38.9 percent) and trash disposal fees decreased significantly. After the program was overturned, the recycling rate slowly dropped — to 25.18 percent after one year and to 20 — 25 percent in recent months.
WasteZero and Sanford officials, including the solid waste subcommittee, worked to create a new program that would increase recycling, reduce solid waste disposal costs, and be acceptable to Sanford residents. The result was "More in Return."
Under "More in Return," residents would still have to purchase special trash bags, but they would receive an annual rebate for bags they purchase. The program uses a formula that would rebate households for the cost of bags for what would be determined an "average" amount of trash, so those who recycle more and use fewer of the special bags, could actually make money, while those who don't recycle and use more bags, would pay more.
The difference between PAYT and "More in Return" is that the new program provides cash incentive to households to recycle more. Under PAYT, the revenue from the bags went to the city to further reduce trash disposal expenses. Some residents saw it as an additional tax.
The solid waste subcommittee has proposed that the choice of how to deal with Sanford's increasing cost of trash disposal be put to public referendum and has developed two different referendum questions.
Both proposed questions ask voters if they would prefer the former PAYT or the new "More in Return" program. One of the questions, however, also gives voters a chance to say they do not favor any kind of trash metering program.
The city council will discuss the issue and the wording of the proposed referendum at its April 2 meeting and is expected to vote on what will appear on the June referendum ballot.

Facebook—a term that college students use countless times daily—used as a noun for a social networking site and a meeting place, "I'll see ya on Facebook." Other times Facebook is a verb, "I Facebooked her yesterday, and in some cases Facebook is simply the thing we turn to for all aspects of our life. Whether it be for work, play, chatting, or "creeping", Facebook has become a crucial part of our day-to-day lives as college students. Most of us look to update our statuses with the latest gossip, complaint, or success story. Most of us look forward to Monday mornings when our Facebook Friends upload documents of the weekend prior, and for most of us we participate without a second thought. Facebook has become a societal norm, but have you ever thought about who else might be viewing those statuses or viewing those photos of your wild weekend? And for most of us, that answer is no.
We post for our friends, our family, and for our self-expression. Not often do we think that what we post could have negative repercussions. As I spoke with students here at UW-Green Bay, I found that most students don't think about what they put on their Facebook profiles. "It's a personal profile," one student stated, which is true, however once posted on the World Wide Web, rarely is anything left "personal". The internet offers little protection in the realm of security. The technology available has only made this much more real.
One out of the ten students I spoke with said that they regularly think about what they post online and regularly censor their posts to avoid negative associations. Many students stated that they've thought about it often, but it hasn't changed what they post online, and a mere few students stated that they have adjusted their profile's privacy settings to help deter unwanted viewers. However, for the most part students and young adults believe that Facebook is a personal entity, almost a form of online scrapbook and journal that documents our lives and allows us to keep in touch with those who are important to us. "Facebook is some people's best friend to which they tell everything, others choose to keep Facebook in the friend-zone, but without giving away too much," one sophomore student so cleverly put it. How much does your Facebook know about you??
What do employers think about Facebook? What about professors? To answer these questions, I turned to the web; according to a study done by CareerBuilder, 45 percent of employers social networking sites as screening tools when selecting applicants for hire. Many of these employers admitted to disregarding applicants due to the information collected online, but just as many employers lobbied that social networking sites have helped some applicants get the job. They recommend "cleaning-up" your social media profile before starting the application process. They commend creativity, well-roundedness, and evidence of skills as traits that will benefit your application. Another report published in BusinessWeek attempts to weigh the ethical rights of employers to make hiring and firing decisions based on online content. One argument in favor of these employer rights is the fact that a public profile is, well, public, and that anything posted to that profile is fair game. Furthermore, the fact that Facebook, as well as many other social networking sites, allows you to privatize your profile, limiting access to everyone but those you want to see the information. Many argue that not taking the time to limit your profile access constitutes the right of employers to view your content. On the flip side of things, arguments against employers logging in and viewing online networking sites state that online content is not ethical to be used in a professional setting. Those traits that may be apparent online, most often have nothing to do with the user's professional skills. This content could be misinterpreted and/or completely invalid all together.
No matter which side of the argument you stand, beware of the potential dangers online. Keep Facebook at a distance when it comes to your personal life, and take advantage of the privacy settings that are offered. Protect yourself and your friends as precaution, not to mention, take one less worry and hassle out of applying for that job.
