If you are searching a modern compact car, there are plenty of reasons to consider the new Golf. This is the car that most Europeans have chosen for years and years – and years to come. I have tested the "seventh wonder" – Volkswagen Golf MkVII.
Put yourself behind the wheel. Everything is where it is supposed to be. Everything, – from the door handles to the seat adjustment handles – to the radio. You find yourself intuitively at home in a nice, firm, but comfy seat. The interior is simple, but stylish. Everything you put your hands on, feels solid and consistent. You get a good grip on the steering wheel. The DSG gear lever asks to be put in "Drive". I want to give the new Golf a top score for look and feel, but realize that the "6" should be saved for real luxury cars. After all, the Golf is not a luxury car.
I wondered if I had picked a two-liter TDI, instead of the 1.6. I had not. A single exhaust pipe tells the world that this definitely is the 1.6 TDI, but it feels stronger. It is said that the DSG robotized automatic transmission shifts better than even the most experienced driver. I like the way it works. It works its way through the 7 gears extactly how I would shift myself. The DSG is actually a dual transmission, where the inboard computer prepares your next gear before you need it. The computer has to decide whether you are going to shift up or down. It made right decisions for me most of the times. There were a few conflicts between me and the technology, – but none that were inexplicable.
Anyway, the powertrain is absolutely fantastic for such a modest engine! And the Golf has a class-leading good handling, everywhere – on the highway, on winding mountain roads. It is remarkably easy to drive. It almost runs by itself.
The first drive took me two hours on the motorway, effortlessly at speeds around 130 km/h (80 mph). The noise level was low. I also had the pleasure to take the Golf on trips over mountain roads and backroads. What I especially like about driving the Golf is that it is firm and responsive, but comfortable at the same time. It's a perfect match between the two.
On the outside, the Golf is slightly shorter than its competitors such as the Opel Astra and the Citroen C4, but it does not feel smaller on the inside. Still, this is not a real family car.
Passive safety is one of Golf's best selling points. I also want to emphasize the car's good active handling as well. On the road, few compact cars in this price segment feel so predictable and safe.
The first two hours in 130 km/h (80 mph) gave an average consumption of 4.5 litres per 100 km (52 US mpg). Not bad, although it can easily be matched by other competitors. But few can match the Golf's resale value. Our test car had the Start & Stop where the engine turns itself off when you stop at traffic lights. This feature does not work well with DSG, the engine starts unexpectedly several times, just by changing the pressure on the brake pedal. I always turn it off.
My conclusion is that the TDI and the DSG is a perfect match.

Maryland Scholars
Conducted by the Maryland Business Roundtable for Education in partnership with the employers, the State Superintendent, and local superintendents
It is needed! Current graduation requirements are not rigorous enough to prepare students academically for success in college and work. Students who do not complete math through Algebra 2 are destined for remedial college courses or low-wage jobs. Maryland Scholars continues to impact rigorous course completion and college/career readiness both in terms of inspiring student action and influencing policy changes.
Whether a student wants to go to college or get a job after graduation, getting the best possible foundation in high school is essential. Even if students don't know what they want to do after high school, taking the right courses now will allow them to follow any path they choose later. Students who complete the Maryland Scholar criteria are better positioned to qualify for college, grants, scholarships, and good jobs with benefits.
It works! In 2013, nearly 54% of Maryland graduates met the Maryland Scholars criteria, up from 36% in 2007.

Sure it required us to make additional investments—the physical space, the insurance required to protect everyone, the furnishings—but what we are getting in return is invaluable; the working mothers at our company can improve and grow our business without having to sacrifice spending precious time with their babies at such a crucial stage in their mother-child relationships."

Who are Your Superbosses?
Everyone knows what a good boss does – hits the goals and leads the team. But what do you call people who far surpass their goals and create the next set of leaders your company needs to reach a whole new level in its development? Leadership and Management expert Sydney Finkelstein of the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College calls them Superbosses, which is the title of his latest book. But then there's the subtitle of the book: How Exceptional Leaders Master the Flow of Talent. Intrigued? I know I was.
It's this talent piece of the equation that sets superbosses apart from other successful people. This is what Finkelstein stumbled across. For example, there was a point in the National Football League where 20 out of 32 head coaches had either trained directly under Bill Walsh of the San Francisco 49ers or someone in his coaching hierarchy. In technology, 9 of the 11 executives who worked closely with Oracle CEO Larry Ellison became CEOs, chairs, or COOs of other companies. You'll find the same with all sorts of others – television executive Lorne Michaels, restaurateur Alice Waters, moviemaker George Lucas, and fashion pioneer Ralph Lauren, just to name a few.
They shared some traits you would expect – confidence, imagination, competitiveness, integrity, and authenticity, for starters. But it's their people strategies that set them apart, and the good news is that you can learn from their strategies and tactics. Here's a testament to the kind of impact they have: Take the top fifty leaders of any field and you'll find that anywhere from a third to half of them will have worked for a superboss at some point. What are the secrets of the superbosses? Here they are in a nutshell:
Unorthodox Hiring
Think about all the different traits you think you want in employees that would make them awesome workers and write them down on a piece of paper. Now crumple that piece of paper up and throw it away. Superbosses look for three specific traits above all others – intelligence, creativity, and flexibility. That's it. That's the secret sauce of superboss recruiting. A superboss who comes across someone who is unusually gifted in those three traits will hire the person even if they don't have relevant experience, or even a college degree. Why are those three traits so important? Because people with those traits can…
Approach problems from new angles.
Handle surprises.
Learn quickly.
Excel in any position.
Giving People Room to Soar
A superboss takes an exceptional person and pushes them to an even higher level, often getting them to do the seemingly impossible. Make no mistake; superbosses set the bar very high for their protégés, but are also supremely confident they can do it, and they instill that confidence in their people. Because superbosses are confident in their picks, they allow their people an incredible degree of autonomy to get the job done. It's like a master-apprentice relationship where the apprentice is largely on their own but also being monitored for progress. They also act as coaches and mentors, and what they offer is highly customized to exactly what each person needs, offered up with a healthy dose of pragmatism. When the people chosen meet expectations early on, they'll be properly rewarded, including even greater responsibility and challenges to rise up and meet.
Saying Good-Bye on Good Terms
Perhaps the most impressive part of the superboss phenomenon is that they don't get upset when their protégés leave. They're okay with that. Besides, they know these people can still be incredibly valuable contacts in their network. And that mentoring relationship I was just talking about? With superbosses it tends to continue long after the person has left the company, simply because it's the right thing to do.
For the purposes of Talent Management 360, I just love it that the one thing that sets superbosses apart from other successful business leaders is their unique approach to finding and developing talent. This is one book that should be at the very top of your 2016 reading list.

Esperance crowned African champions with win over Wydad
Daily Post Staff
Tunisia's Esperance have won the African Champions League after a 1-0 win over 10-man Wydad Casablanca of Morocco in the second leg of the final.
Ghana's Harrison Afful got the only goal of the game to give the 'Blood and Gold' the victory.
They take the title 1-0 on aggregate after a 0-0 draw in the first leg.
Esperance will represent Africa at the Club World Cup in Japan which takes place next month and claim prize money of $1.5m (£933,000).
Wydad played most of the game a man down after defender Mourad el Massane was sent off for a crude challenge on Esperance striker Yannick N'djeng at the end of the first half.
Afful's strike came in the 21st minute of the game – the Ghanaian broke down the right hand side, cut infield and fired a powerful shot past Wydad's young keeper Yassine Bounou.
It was an impressive finish, out of keeping with a match that was mainly ragged and patchy, although – before they went down to 10 men – Wydad striker Fabrice Ondama was only denied by some impressive footwork from Esperance keeper Moez Ben Cherifa.
The two teams were playing their fourth game against each other in this year's Champions League – having also met in two group matches – and each of the previous three games had ended in a draw.
The over-familiarity served to cancel out the creativity and the spectacle was not enhanced by the sending-off of Massane.
But Esperance celebrated in style, as they claimed the continental crown for the first time in 17 years – and can now prepare to represent Africa on the global stage.

Inter Milan striker, Romelu Lukaku, has become a target for Manchester City, who will invest £200 million in their squad in several areas at the end of the season, the UK Telegraph reports.
Pep Guardiola's men sit four points behind leaders Manchester United with a game in hand, ahead of their match with Crystal Palace on Sunday.
But City face a summer rebuilding, with the likes of Sergio Aguero, Fernandinho and Eric Garcia able to leave for free.
Guardiola will be in the market for a new striker, left back and a defensive midfielder.
One area of concern is a long-term replacement for striker Aguero, who has struggled with injury problems since the start of the season.
The 32-year-old striker's contract expires in six months, and he is yet to make a decision on his future.
But City will reportedly target a new striker even if Aguero ends up staying at the Etihad beyond this summer.
It is believed that Lukaku, Dortmund striker Erling Haaland and Benfica forward, Darwin Nunez have been targeted as long-term successors to Aguero.
Lukaku has previously played for City's rivals, Manchester United, between 2017 and 2019. But he struggled for minutes under Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer despite scoring 42 goals in 96 appearances in all competitions.
Barcelona manager, Ronald Koeman, is hopeful of having Lionel Messi available for Sunday's Spanish Supercopa final against Athletic Bilbao.
Messi missed the semi-final win over Real Sociedad on Wednesday with a thigh injury.
However, the 33-year-old returned to full training on Saturday.
"We will see how he is [after Saturday's session]. Messi will have the final say. He knows his body the best.
"We are hopeful he will be available for the game. You always have a better chance if you have the best player in the world on your team," Koeman said ahead of the game.
Barca are unbeaten in nine games in all competitions and Sunday's final presents an opportunity to win some silverware after they finished without a trophy last season.

NJIT Physics Professor Philip Goode Named American Astronomical Society Fellow
Written by: Jesse Jenkins
Published: Thursday, February 11, 2021
Philip R. Goode, distinguished research professor of physics at NJIT's Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR), has been named 2021 Fellow of the American Astronomical Society (AAS) — the leading organization of professional astronomers in North America established in 1899.
The fellowship is annually bestowed upon select AAS members for extraordinary contributions toward enhancing and sharing humanity's scientific understanding of the universe, specifically through "original research and publication, innovative contributions to astronomical techniques or instrumentation, significant contributions to education and public outreach, and noteworthy service to astronomy and to the Society itself."
Goode was named for his "pioneering work in helioseismology and for leadership in university-based solar physics." He joins 30 other researchers honored this year from across the astronomical sciences. The society, currently comprised of more than 8,000 members nationally and internationally, introduced its first class of legacy fellows in 2020.
"I feel proud to be recognized in such a way by my colleagues around the astronomy community in the U.S. and abroad," said Goode. "I am grateful to the talented astronomers with whom I have worked and from whom I have learned so much. I am also grateful to NJIT for the opportunities it has provided me."
Goode's earliest work in theoretical nuclear physics dates back to the 1960s, though his pioneering research in helioseismology began in the early 1980s. He has spent more than a quarter of a century studying the Sun's interior using measured sound waves that sample the interior of the Sun and are detected on its surface, much like the use of earthquake data that sample the inside of the Earth.
In the 1980s, Goode was involved in the first determinations of the Sun's internal rotation, its internal differential rotation and determining limits on buried magnetic field. His work also demonstrated that the Sun rotates on a single axis, and later determined the Sun's seismic radius. In the 1990s, with collaborators from Poland, Goode developed a data-driven helioseismic model of the Sun's interior, which was used to place new and strong limits on nuclear-reaction cross sections in the thermonuclear reactions that power the Sun and how that radiation escapes the Sun. His team's research also successfully calculated the seismic age of the Sun at 4.6 billion years old, offering the first confirmation of the age of the solar system from meteorite data.
Since, Goode is perhaps best known for his work as principal investigator at NJIT's Big Bear Solar Observatory beginning in 1997, where he conceived, procured funding, and led a team that built BBSO's current 1.6-meter solar telescope — giving it the distinction of the world's largest solar telescope from 2008 until 2019.
In recent years, Goode has led BBSO's groundbreaking development and application of multi-conjugate adaptive optics, which expanded the telescope's corrected optical field for observations on the Sun by three-fold, and was recognized by the National Science Foundation as one of the most influential technological breakthroughs that shaped astronomical research over the last 30 years. Renamed the Goode Solar Telescope (GST) in honor of Goode in 2017, BBSO's telescope is credited with producing solar data used in more than 150 research publications to date, as well as informing the design of the world's current largest solar telescope, the NSF's 4-m Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope on which Goode is a co-investigator.
In 1984, Goode joined NJIT's physics department, where he went on to create and develop the university's Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research as its founding director from 1995-2014. His leading efforts in research, education and science communication through CSTR have been integral in establishing NJIT among the top U.S research institutions in solar physics, heliophysics and solar-terrestrial physics today.

From: rnewtonATkent.edu on a word-a-day mailing list I'm subscribed to:
The most egregious example of gender-bias in English is, I think, the
existence of two words for students. Male students are students; but
female students are co-eds. This originates in schools being for males
only. So, when they allowed girls to come "along" (this is what co-
means), they were viewed as nonessential appendages. Kind of like Adam
being created independently, and then Eve was formed to assist him. I
have insisted that all my students expunge this word from their
vocabulary. I no longer allow them to say they live in a co-ed dorm,
for example, since that implies that the dorms are really there for
the one sex only. There are only male dorms, female dorms, and mixed-
gender dorms (although this is a misnomer, since gender is not the
same as sex; but we can't very easily call them two-sex dorms without
raising eyebrows; unisex might work?).

Congratulations, everyone. We put a stop to an issue that
'insulted' the dignity of women in the IT industry.
And we did it as one big unruly mob.
Are we a mob?
I don't know. I don't think so.
We stand on our individual pulpits or post in our individual columns
and we simply speak our mind, letting other people decide what they
think and how they feel about the issue. Even my
http://del.icio.us/sachac/digitalpinay links feels like a
shopping-list of other people who wrote about the issue, and I'm sure
there are other blogs out there I hadn't seen.
Nowhere on those blogs did I see anything even remotely close to a
physical threat. People joked about having "Digital Pinoy", a male
version of the contest. People suggested flooding the mailbox with
fake application forms or complaints, or calling them up to register
their protest. In fact, some people suggested just promoting it as a
beauty pageant instead of something different. I did not see a single
thing directed toward the potential contestants. I don't work that
way, and chances are, neither do you. I do not know anyone who'd make
such a threat. As a rule, the geeks I know prefer the pen over the
sword. This is not to say, of course, that no one out there can make
that kind of threat. All I'm saying is that there are many, many of us
who are more moderate than the press release implies.
I was outraged enough to want to raise hell about it. I didn't want
this to be an issue that quietly slipped by. I wanted them to know
that I thought what they were doing was wrong. They were perfectly
capable of continuing with the original plan, I knew, but maybe they'd
listen to the points I raised. I helped spread the word to other
people because it was something far bigger than my little corner of
the Internet or my little perspective on life, and I was not
disappointed by the variety of insights I gained.
I am not against PCS, and I am certainly not against promoting
technology. This was not some master plan to bring down PCS nor was it
a symptom of crab mentality. I sincerely want to promote computer
science in our country, and I spoke out because I strongly felt that
the contest I heard about would do more damage than good. I pointed
out flaws and offered suggestions. I knew they wouldn't be able to
remove the 'beauty pageant' stigma from the event if they continued
with their criteria, so I suggested other things they might do
Was it really all the outrage from blogs? Companies have sponsored
highly-criticized events before. The Miss Universe contest has legions
of detractors. No, I don't think it was sheer outrage. I'd like to
think that the sponsors pulled out not because the contest attracted
lots of bad publicity but because the sponsors listened to our
thoughts and thought we made sense. Money speaks, and it took the
sponsors to make PCS consider other ideas. We argued as well as we
could, and that resulted in slight modifications of the event. PCS
thought it could deal with the other objections, but it took sponsors
to really drive the point home.
It's a pity that PCS focused on extreme reactions in their press
conference. Instead of making bloggers feel respected and listened to,
they polarized the issue, turning it into an us-versus-them fight.
That wasn't the best way to deal with this kind of issue. I would have
respected them more if they calmly outlined the issues and thanked
everyone involved, but I understand why they said those things. They
are also human, and it is hard to be calm when you see a pet project
fall apart. Other critics are also human, and it's hard to accept
someone's words as face value when you see it more as a cover-up.
There must have been better ways to deal with the whole mess, but it's
done now, and all that is left to do is to reflect on the whole
I must confess being guilty of taking pot shots at PCS when I think
what they say doesn't make sense. For example, I think their
cancellation is yet another example of bad PR, and I'm half-tempted to
volunteer to edit their press releases from now on. I'm allowed to
have and express opinions. I'm not a journalist, just a geek. I care
not only about my work but also the culture and environment I work in.
That said, they're fine, and they did have good intentions. I can't
imagine Leo Querubin waking up and saying "I think I'd like to have a
sexist contest," and I believe them when they say they weren't
thinking of making it a beauty contest. They just didn't think about
it hard enough. Who here hasn't made mistakes like that before? Who
here hasn't been defensive about mistakes, trying to rationalize them
as long as possible before realizing they were wrong? I appreciate how
they invited us to join the press conference, although the timing was
bad for practically everyone. (A Saturday would've been better,
really, or they could've just held it online. That would've been much
more fun!) I appreciate how they asked someone who understood the
other side to serve as a consultant. (Hi, Ranulf!) I appreciate how,
to the very end, their intentions were sincere. I don't think they
were in this just to make money. I think they just picked the wrong
way to achieve a goal, and then a wrong way to save face.
PCS still serves a valuable purpose. They have other projects and they
don't need to be replaced or destroyed. Besides, there is no
organization ready to step into the gap. I hope that the lesson they
carry away from all of this is not that the public does not understand
them, but that we understand their objectives too well to let them
quietly make mistakes. We speak because we care.
Are we a mob? A thousand voices exploding on the Internet may seem
like a chaotic mess, but if you listen carefully you would be able
to discern the clear, calm tones of people like
Dominique,
Joey, and
You would hear people who spoke from their hearts _and_ their minds, like
Clair and
Xenia.
You would even hear non-IT people with a clear understanding of the issues, like
Marcelle.
We are not a mob. We are simply people who know what we believe in and who care too much to be silent.
I will reflect some more on this if other people have interesting
posts, but in the meantime, I would like to thank the bloggers who
shared their thoughts, the journalists who helped us raise awareness
of the problem, and the rest of the gang for listening in.
Although it could have gone better, it was good that we did this.

Check out Philippine Computer Society cancels 'Digital Pinay' tilt for PCS' announcement.
Asked what he has learned from the experience, Querubin said:
"Well, actually a lot. One is that people really think differently.
I was very surprised at the public briefing that some people
apparently feel that others don?t have the right to use a word
[such as] ?digital? differently from the way they use it.
Hmm. Apparently, they managed to annoy more than just
us crazy bloggers. Who'd
have thought?
The organizers added that threats to splash acid on the contestants
and flood the contest's e-mail address with spurious application
forms, also contributed to their decision to cancel the event.
Splashing acid on contestants isn't our kind of thing, although the
_organizers_, now… *ahem*. No, no, we're not into physical damage.
We'd be happy to flood their e-mail box or otherwise inconvenience PCS,
but we don't cross over into meatspace. Definitely some other angry group. What fun.
apparently feel that others don't have the right to use a word
[such as] "digital" differently from the way they use it.
Now that is a rather strong spin.
I know the people who went to the public briefing. They're nice, rational people who were willing
to give PCS a chance. We might not like the way PCS just throws around the word "digital", but we
said it might be very misleading, not completely wrong for PCS to use.
That's probably just because we're more in tune with geeks today than they are.
Anyway, good riddance to that Digital Pinay thing. I hope they go back
to focusing on the national programming contest, and I hope they do it
better this time. I did that schtick throughout high school. Great
experience, although PCS screwed up every now and then too.
(Psst! They have a professional category! Reunion, anyone?)

Clair (Post 1,
Post 2,
Post 3), and
have all blogged the results of the press conference held by the
Philippine Computer Society last 2005.01.21 .
I think we've reached an acceptable compromise. The Philippine
Computer Society is dropping the offensive beauty-pageant-like parts
of "Digital Pinay 2005" and they've clarified their position.
If the contest is clearly marked as a search for future managers, I
think it will not negatively affect the image people have of the
technical side of things.
I still believe there are more effective ways to get an idea of
someone's leadership potential than through text voting or clothes
modelling. Presentations and business case analyses could give
contestants a more realistic idea of what skills will be useful in
their professional lives. Women who can speak and write well will be
far more effective leaders than those chosen on the basis of looks or
on the number of friends who are willing to sink money into a text
popularity campaign. Then again, all contests make some kind of
simplification. As the organizer, PCS decides what to search for.
I think it is time to let PCS figure out what to do with their
concept. Perhaps they'll make it a success; perhaps they'll have
problems fulfilling their admirable goals. Whatever happens, we have
all learned much from the experience. We have learned the power of
protest, and perhaps PCS has learned to be a little more careful. (At
the very least, it knows it needs better public relations.)
I believe that "Digital Pinay 2005" can be a good idea if handled
well. PCS has invited influential women like Sun head Cynthia Mamon to
judge contestants. If these judges could make time in their busy
schedules to guide the winners, perhaps having lunch every other week
or even just once a month, then the winners of "Digital Pinay 2005"
would win far more than monthly participation in PCS activities. They
would gain guidance and mentorship.
I do not regret speaking up about this. I do not regret going public
with my opposition to the original form
that circulated through e-mail. I do not regret pointing out
the deficiencies in the original contest structure. I do not believe
this was something that could be handled quietly. PCS needed to
clarify its position not only to those of us noisy enough to complain
about it but also to other people who might have received only the
form. I am glad that the furor caused by this has revealed that most
people won't take this kind of nonsense.
In the course of checking this out and keeping track of the activity
through my shared bookmarks, I have met so many wonderful people
through their blogs. Thank you for reading. Thank you for caring.
Let's get together on a couple of projects—that summer camp idea
looks like a good start, and I'd gladly volunteer time for that.
Jan. 21, 2005 | digitalpinay, issues, philippines, women
My mother would be the last person to say she's beautiful. She'd say
she's short, or she has gray hair and wrinkles. She wears make-up, but
she doesn't spend hours putting a face on every day and she doesn't
buy fancy clothes. She's too busy as the general manager of
Adphoto to get much beauty sleep, and
sees nothing wrong with trekking around in comfortable shoes. I think
she's beautiful.
My former grade school principal, Lala Castillo, had wrinkles around
her eyes that showed how much she smiled. I never saw her dressed in
sharp business suits. I think she was always in flowing skirts or
sensible pants. She knew all of us by name. As a child, I wondered if
I could just skip being an adult and be old and wise like she was.
I think she's beautiful.
Didith Rodrigo, the chair of the computer science department, is not
one for beauty pageants. I don't think she wears make-up. But she made
us feel welcome. She knew what she was talking about, and she could
explain herself very clearly. She was also a great listener. I think
If PCS wants to judge on "beauty"—which basically means how much does
a woman resemble advertisements—then they risk closing their eyes to
the real gems, people who can _really_ inspire others.
As for me, I'm going to stay in my own little world where results
matter more than appearances, where ordinary people become beautiful
when you get to know them.
I'm glad that I'm not spectacular. At least that way, I don't have to
worry about people speculating about my breast size, unlike one of my
friends who occasionally has to put up with that despite being a
brilliant physicist. At least that way, I know people pay attention to
my ideas and not just to my body.
I still feel a little insecure from time to time. Am I where I am just
because I'm a girl, just because I was in the right place at the right
time? Would I have gotten as far if people didn't make a fuss over the
fact that ooh, look, a girl's _really_ into tech?
Then I go online and talk to people who don't know anything about me,
people who even assume I'm a guy until the regulars laugh and correct
them, and I realize that I'm good enough on my own.
That's an assurance the DigitalPinay winners might not have, because
they'll wonder: was I hired because my resume was good and I can
really make a difference, or was I hired because I won a beauty
pageant?
On Technorati: digitalpinay, issues, women, philippines, rant
PCS is expected to confirm its resolve to push through with the
controversial "Digital Pinay 2005" contest at a press conference to be
held today at 3:30 PM at AIM's ACCEED center.
They say that the contest is a search for future chief executive
officers and chief information officers, and have decided to keep
their original criteria: 20% popularity (text votes, another
revenue-generator), 20% personality (sound bites in the question and
answer portion), and 20% poise (modeling business wear, formal wear
and sports wear). Oh, right, and 40% intelligence and achievements,
but since that's all evaluated behind the scenes, we'll only get to
see the 60% part.
They also deny that it's a beauty pageant and claim they never
intended it to be one. And oh, oops, the
first application form was a
complete mistake—they didn't mean to send *that* version to the press
mailing list. They *really* meant to send these sanitized application
forms: ../personal/digitalpinay-coed.doc and
../personal/digitalpinay-pro.doc. So they'd like to tell all you
outraged bloggers that
you're barking up the wrong tree. It really isn't a beauty pageant.
Even if there's a "Coronation Night" competition where people are
judged on how they wear clothes instead of, say, their business plans
or their ability to give presentations. Even if there's a text voting
thing.
All I can say is that if it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and
quacks like a duck…
