We're also very excited to welcome Les Brown, a phenomenal speaker who definitely knows how to motivate. In fact, I just got a copy of the August 2009 Success magazine in which Les Brown is featured as part of the publication's "Legend Series."

Here's a link to the main article titled "Shoot for the Moon Because Even if You Miss, You'll Land Among the Stars."

But you'll want to pick up a copy of the magazine to read Les' 10 steps to "Survive and Keep Your Dream Alive." He offers some great tips, and I'm sure it's just a taste of what he'll talk to us about at convention.

It's remarkable what Les has accomplished and how you can't help but get excited after hearing him speak (listen to the clip below). Here's a man who was born in an abandoned building in one of the poorest sections of Miami. Fortunately, he and his twin brother were adopted by Mamie Brown a wonderful woman whom Les admires greatly. In his life he's been a community activist, a talk show host, an Ohio legislator, and now a renowned professional speaker.

New Delhi: It's not just the Common Admission Test (CAT) that will go online this year. Delhi University (DU) will become one of the first central universities in the country to conduct an online examination next month for its undergraduate science students.

A.K. Bakshi, director of the Institute of Lifelong Learning (ILL) under DU which formulated the online examination paper, said that for the first time students of the B.Sc course will be taking their environmental science paper online.

"It's just a starter. Students of the B.Sc course will take one of their qualifying papers, of environmental science, online. If a success, it should set a trend for more university exams to go the same way," Bakshi told sources..

A total of 2,500 students from 27 colleges will take the exam, scheduled in the first week of June. The examination will however be held in just three centres and that too in three shifts.

"For logistical and other reasons, the exam will be held in three centres - in Miranda House, Deen Dayal Upadhyaya and Venkateswara colleges. Since it's for the first time that both students and teachers will be facing this kind of an exam, CDs and pamphlets have been distributed where the entire process is being explained.

"How does one attempt a question, how do you skip a question, re-attempt a question, submit the paper but want to make some changes again - everything is being explained. There will also be a timer which will keep telling the student how much time and how many questions are left. There is also a sample online examination paper uploaded on our website," Bakshi said.

The one-hour exam will have 50 multiple choice type questions of one mark each.

"Like in competitive exams, students sitting adjacent to each other will get a different question paper. In all the three shifts the questions will be jumbled; so will the options, so that there is no chance of cheating. Teachers are quite happy with the initiative and have said that the online exam will save them a lot of time in checking the answers," Bakshi said.

The online exam is a part of DU's larger plan to go the e-learning way. ILL has been working on making the entire teaching process, and now even the assessment process, more tech-savvy for a number of subjects. This, Bakshi said, is an attempt to keep up with the changing times and be in sync with youth.

With videos, animation, simulation, online quizzes and virtual laboratory, the aim now is to make learning more fun in DU. It is expected that by the next academic session, the e-learning material for some courses like chemistry, physics, maths, life sciences and commerce will be uploaded in the ILL portal.

"There is something called blended learning. There are times when a teacher can't explain everything on the blackboard. With this initiative of using animation and visuals, the understanding of a subject will become clearer," Bakshi told sources.

They set up an impromptu meeting and in no time had over 100 Associates show up at the office to hear Dr. Wentz talk to them for over an hour.

Part of what he covered was his background as a microbiologist specializing in virology and his knowledge of viruses and most importantly at this time, influenza or the flu. He taught them that the body creates the best defense to these bugs on its own and that drugs do not create the same quality of immunity that the body does as it is exposed to more and more types of bugs.

The body is like an intelligent learning computer program that continues to learn as more data is input. The vaccines cannot prepare you for all the variations of bugs that you will be exposed to and their protection is short lived.

Lifelong immunity to the majority of strains can only come from continually exposing yourself to small amounts of bugs and allowing the body to build immunity to many variations. I remember as a kid barbecuing with the neighbors and my Dad telling them to let us kids eat dirt, because it only served to build our immune systems.

Now I'm not a virologist, so I'm sure I'm not explaining this perfectly, but here is the point I really want you to get. To demonstrate his point that the body becomes stronger as it is exposed, he told his audience that he had touched almost every door handle in the office and then proceeded to put his hands in his mouth. Yep, my Dad basically licked his fingers after touching what everyone considers to be the dirtiest thing in the place beside the carpet.

Everyone leaves some of their germs behind on a door handle they've touched. This was his way of making the point that your body needs to be constantly exposed to those minor germs that make up are world. That is the way we truly remain healthy and it is the vaccines and antibiotics that are destroying our immune system.

So I guess if you're worried about getting the flu, go kiss a door handle and increase your safety level.

Streets. Wesley Hospital, which had been founded in 1888, was nearby. Four years of medical study was made obligatory and the school year was lengthened to eight months. Practical, systematic and required courses in clinical laboratory methods were inaugurated in 1899, which was another first in medical education in the United States. Courses in chemistry, pathology, physiology and bacteriology were added during this time. Full time professorships were established, with their incumbents teaching exclusively. All the fundamental departments of instruction were placed in the hands of instructors sufficiently paid to enable them to devote their time to the institution.

Obtaining a law degree and becoming a lawyer can be a long, expensive journey. If taking the law school plunge isn’t for you,other opportunities areavailable withinthe legal sector.One alternative to becoming a lawyer is to pursue a career asa paralegal.The following Salary Story offers insight intowhat it's like to bea government contracts paralegal. Our guest describes what you can look forward to in thischallenging paralegal position,offers valuable advice onhow to handlea paralegal career,provides info onparalegal training,insider’s tips of the trade.
Paralegal Job Description:
I am part of the Procurement and Contracts team of contracts specialists, procurement specialists, and a contracting officer for the US Congress. I assist, very actively, during procurement/competition by managing the document traffic between government and vendors.
To do this, I maintain the POC spreadsheet, create a cyberspace folder, and put together a binder for the competition. I am tasked with sending out the Requests For Proposals (RFP) to the respondents. I create spreadsheets for clarifications, questions, and put together the government responses. I maintain a calendar of due-dates related to the competition. Once the competition has reached a certain level where the "no-bids" have already been established, I become the POC for the government. I am responsible for ensuring the confidentiality of all documents between contractors and government. I am expected to require that Non-Disclosure Agreements are signed by everyone involved in the competition both from the government and the industry side. I distribute the proposals related to the relevant competition to the government evaluation team. I facilitate the exchange of documents between the government and the vendors.
For example, I am the POC for Past Performance Documents for competitions. With the contract administration, at the request of the contracting officer or the designee, I modify contracts, prepare documentation and facilitate awards of task orders. I process documents required for on-site contractor employees, maintain all files, and am the administrator of the government's contracts administration system. I maintain the documents required and authorize on behalf of the Contracting Officer (CO) and/or Contracting Specialists (CS) issuance of access to the government facility. I prepare authority request packages for procurement for the government, putting together quotes, justifications, etc. andam tasked to edit the same. These documents are submitted to a leadership official in the U.S. Congress.
I also do due diligence for the government by using Hoovers, Moody's, Standard and Poor's and Dun Bradstreet and a government website to make sure that a contractor has not been debarred or otherwise precluded by law to enter into a contract with the government. Seasonally, I train and supervise temporary summer employees.
PayScale: How did you begin your career as a paralegal?
I decided to become a paralegal and so I went back to college and earned my degree in Legal Studies. Since I have been working within the government finance area, I pretty much had exposure to the contracts behind the government obligations and when the paralegal job was created during the early 2000, I was not hired! A couple of years later, and after I had earned my degree, the job became open again and this time, I was hired. The hiring panel told me that they waited until I had done all my schooling to make sure I had all the time to concentrate on the "practicum." I have since taken other training paid by my employer to ensure that I am current on best practices. I have always wanted to become an attorney but I was ata stage of my lifethat going to law school was not a wise decision. Being a contracts paralegal gives me exposure to the field. Oh, and I am married to a successful attorney. He supported me in my pursuit, but lovingly told me one lawyer for each family is plenty.
PayScale: What was that moment that sparked your love for your paralegal career?
Initially, I was seen but not heard from. I had to learn the language the contract professionals were speaking and I had to learn it fast. One day, months after being on the job, I came to work and the Contracting Officer told me, "Look, Bob and I have looked at this document a hundred times and could not tell anymore if there are things that are wrong or missing. We decided that you should be the last person to look at it before we send it out." I proofread it and suggested some changes to it and I caught some clause that was referring to a non-existent previous section and my CO said, "You go ahead and deal with the Contractor. They wanted that clause in there. You are ready for that. You are conversant in it." And the best was when he said, "I told the Contracts Specialist that you need to see this first for the English before it goes out!"
PayScale: What are the biggest challenges you face as a government contract paralegal?
A paralegal job description is mainly a support role - in theory. However, as a government paralegal, I find myself, being a very active participant in the contract negotiations and administration that take place. The challenge is to be able to learn both sides of the process, speak and understand the legal jargon, manage your time, and be able to prioritize tasks and do them well.
For instance, the paralegal should not submit something to get signed or reviewed before moving to the next task. Rather, he/she should be constantly keeping up with all the other tasks to ensure that the contractors are not unduly delayed with their contract related documents, approvals, requests, funding documents, and contract modification requests. The government contracts paralegal should have put in place a system whereby he/she can respond to a question as to the status of contract related documents at any given time.
The biggest challenge for me is understanding the technical language that I find in our documents that I need to either edit or help compose. “Techies” tend to talk in words that do not seem to make sense to a mortal when they are requesting a new widget or service. My job is to fix the document so that it takes into consideration its audience. Contracts are precise and a comma can make a difference. Therefore, attention to detail is paramount and the standard one needs to set for oneself is high. The government cannot appear to be arrogant, uninformed, and careless.
The main job duties of a contracts paralegal, whether you are from the industry or the government- but especially when one is dealing with the government - is to keep up with the changes in government regulations. The paralegal cannot be complacent; continuing education and training for the best practice skills in government contracting is a must to be at the top of this career.
PayScale: What advice would you give to someone who wants to pursue a paralegal career? What supplemental paralegal training do you suggest?
Take legal writing 101 and 401, take every writing course you can take. Buy a grammar book, and learn to use the colons, commas, and semicolons properly. Know the rules of grammar. Complete your sentences!
Approach your job with a great sense of humor and appreciation for written and spoken words; pay attention to details, and strive for excellence. Do not be stressed or annoyed if your CO (Contracting Officer) or CS (Contracting Specialist) or COTR change his/her mind and asks for changes made a thousand times, and sometimes expects you to know things you were not aware of. They expect you to remember for them. That is the nature of the job. Embrace it.
Be prepared to be in the supporting role. Just because a paralegal creates the legal document does not make her the lawyer. Learn the style of the ones you support, and accommodate it. Once you have earned their trust and respect, suggest what you think MAYBE (do not say "is") a better way of saying or doing something. Before you know it, everyone depends on you and appreciates you. However, when you are given an assignment all your own, establish your own style. My boss can tell if it was I who wrote something.
Learn to anticipate and be proactive. Do not wait for your team to ask you for a document (that you should have anticipated) as a result of the preceding action. There is nothing more satisfying than when I am told, "You are too efficient for me," whenever I am asked to do something related to an action we are doing and my response is, "It is done. There is a copy in the folder ready for your review." Even though you are in a supporting role, that role is very important and valued, and hugely rewarded when your team knows that they can rely on your competence. Be reliable and be professional in your actions, in your words, and in the way you dress up.
Remember that you are a professional representing the government or you might be the counterpart who represents the industry to the government. You are in a professional position -act it, look it.
And lastly, bring out the friendly person in you. You will not succeed if you are an introvert in this job - you will be expected to deal with numerous people and you will sometimes be the spokesperson for the government. Be a team player, and shine by being the "go to" person within the team.
Last and most important part of paralegal training: create your own task table, and list everything you are supposed to do and have done. Identify the task, for whom, etc. and the date you have completed it. This will help you organize your work and will benefit you. You can go back to this list during your job review and you will be able to list the important tasks you have accomplished since the last review.
I wish I knew earlier how happy I would be doing this job. I would have pursued it much earlier!
PayScale: Could you name a few interesting moments in your career as a paralegal?
I was sure I sent the government request to this individual with a Spanish last name. I revisited my request and I asked him to explain why the government had not received a response. I even said a phrase in Spanish. The poor guy said, in Spanish, that he lived in Venezuela and did not understand what I was asking him to do. Ooops, the wrong Mr. Diaz.
Or the time a contractor sent me an email stating that I must have sent him the e-mail by mistake. I was telling him the information for my son's doctor appointment for the coming week. And the e-mail said, "Honey, please do not forget the ...." I thought I would die of embarrassment.
At the end of the day, I know that I have done my best and that is very fulfilling.

Why do we still have print journals in the library?
People often ask why we still have print journals in the library. Surely everything is online now and our print journals are just gathering dust. They wonder why we are still allocating funds to print subscriptions, when so many users favor access at their desktops.
Here are just some of the reasons:
Cost/availability of online journals: Some journals are simply not available in online format. Some online journals, such as Annals of Pharmacotherapy, Joint Commission Journal on Quality and Patient Safety,and Science, are much more expensive than their print counterparts. Others are available only within an expensive package of journals.
Print journals a subscription requirement:  For many journals, the print and online subscriptions are bundled for a single fee.   Where the online-only format is less expensive, we have made the switch, but in some cases this option is not available or, rather bizarrely, is more expensive than buying the bundled subscription. Some discounted packages of online titles, such as our Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. collection, have a stipulation that a certain monetary level of print subscriptions must be maintained.
Some e-journals unreliable:  Some e-journal Web sites are difficult to navigate, have complicated login procedures, or are unreliable in providing content. Some databases, such as Ovid and EBSCOhost databases, include full-text journal articles but are slow to load current issues.
Online archival access expensive:  Many of the library’s print titles are either not available online or the online subscription is cost-prohibitive for older issues. Only the most recent issues of many journals are available online. As publishers digitize their older issues, they usually charge a one-time and/or annual fee for access to the archives. For example, access to Nature 1950-1986 is priced at $43,235. Not only are these kinds of fees prohibitive for the library, given our current budget, but they represent a duplicate purchase when the same journal volumes are already on our shelves.
Online content not dependable
For journal volumes where we do not have access to the print counterpart, we are at the mercy of the publishers for that access to continue. Older issues currently available free of charge may not be free in the future. Content currently available on the Web may be removed as publishers merge, go out of business, or experience technical failures. As we cancel subscriptions, publishers may not provide us with access to the content we paid for previously or may demand a maintenance fee for access.
We are continuing to migrate to the online version of journals where appropriate. We moved over 150 titles from print to online format going into 2009.  We currently subscribe to fewer than 50 titles in print format only because of cost, access, and the other issues outlined above. The specialized information resources that compose the Health Sciences Library require both money and human judgment to provide the appropriate mix of paper and digital formats to ensure continuous access.

Ergonomics Abstracts is an multidisciplinary database, pulling together the scattered strands of research and literature surrounding the science of humans in the work environment. Subject coverage extends from abattoirs to zoos. It is useful for psychology, physiology, biomechanics, job design, human-computer interaction, safety science, human engineering, medicine, occupational health, sport and transport. One of its key strengths is the journal coverage. Because the study of ergonomics and human factors is still relatively young, the journal literature sprawls across disciplines, for this reason Ergonomics Abstracts indexes journals well beyond some of our traditional health databases such as PubMed or CINAHL.
