We're going to talk about everything from what it is, where you can access it, how to check in, get stickers, share your likes, and read and write reviews. GetGlue is an amazing forum for like-minded people to get together, interactively at least, and talk about the things they care about. Like books, TV shows, movies and more. Watch the show to see why GetGlue will likely be your next favorite social network.

Is Immigration Good for America - Panel 3: Immigration Solutions
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 17:00:00 04/26/12
The Winter 2012 issue of Cato Journal (http://www.cato.org/pubs/journal/) was devoted to the critical question of "Is Immigration Good for America?" In conjunction with its publication, we are pleased to present this special Conference, featuring presentations by many of the national experts who contributed to the publication, along with addresses by other key figures in the immigration debate. We are a nation peopled almost exclusively by immigrants or those who are descended from immigrants. More than any other major nation, we are defined by our immigrant past, present, and future. Yet there are significant incongruities between the immigration system we currently have and the one that would best serve our economic interests and our ideals as a free society. This conference will address a number of key questions, including: What are the arguments for immigration restriction? What are the economic benefits and costs of immigration? What are the economic effects of an "amnesty" for unauthorized workers in the U.S.? What is the demographic impact of immigration in an era of declining birthrates? How easy or difficult is it to immigrate legally to the United States? What is the effect of immigration enforcement on the border and in the workplace? Should we retain the doctrine of birthright citizenship as it has been interpreted in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution? Is immigration incompatible with a welfare state? What kind of reforms of current immigration policy would be most beneficial, and can market incentives be utilized to allocate immigration visas? 8:30 a.m. Registration 9:00 a.m – 9:05 a.m. Opening Remarks Dan Ikenson (http://www.cato.org/people/daniel-ikenson), Director, Herbert A. Stiefel Center for Trade Policy Studies, Cato Institute 9:05 a.m. – 9:25 a.m. Keynote Address Tamar Jacoby (http://www.immigrationworksusa.org/index.php?p=40), President and CEO, ImmigrationWorks USA 9:25 a.m – 10:35 a.m. Panel 1: The Economics and Demographics of U.S. Immigration Moderator: Sallie James (http://www.cato.org/people/sallie-james), Cato Institute Panelists: Pia Orrenius (http://www.dallasfed.org/research/economists/orrenius.cfm), Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Ali Noorani (http://www.immigrationforum.org/images/uploads/AliNoorani_bio.pdf), National Immigration Forum Barry Chiswick (http://departments.columbian.gwu.edu/economics/people/161), George Washington University 10:35 a.m. – 10:50 a.m. Coffee Break 10:50 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Panel 2: Assessments of the Current U.S. Immigration System Moderator: Ilya Shapiro (http://www.cato.org/people/ilya-shapiro), Cato Institute Panelists: Jim Harper (http://www.cato.org/people/jim-harper), Cato Institute Madeline Zavodny (http://ecademy.agnesscott.edu/~mzavodny/), Agnes Scott College Stuart Anderson (http://www.nfap.com/about/biographies/), National Foundation for American Policy 12:00 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. Rep.

Wasting Time

I used to come into work, get some coffee, sit in a cube, put headphones on, and then spend my day stuck in the world of SQL Server. Solving problems, working on trouble tickets, analyzing performance and more. An occasional meeting interrupted me, and an empty coffee cup interrupted me more, but for the most part I worked as a DBA with headphones on, doing my job. However I wasn't perfect. There were times that I surfed the web, looking for news, answering questions on forums or more. Add this to the conversations with co-workers about non-work topics and it's clear that 8 hours at work isn't 8 hours of work.
I'm not alone, and most of my co-workers engaged in other sorts of distractions as well. We weren't alone either, and this survey from Salary.com shows some interesting results. Many people spend time on the Internet on non-work tasks, and I think that's OK. I also think it's not much different from the pre-Internet days of work. Smoke breaks, random walks around the building, water cooler time, I think some people would be surprised how much time they spend away from "work" if their movements and efforts were tracked by the minute.

Fighting the Clock: How America's Sleep Deficit is Damaging Longterm Health
The Forum at the Harvard School of Public Health Sleep deprivation has been associated with a myriad of health problems, including increased risk of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke and depression. Cognitive abilities decline as people tire. Risky behavior, such as driving while deeply fatigued, can put others in harm's way. This Forum event -- presented in collaboration with The Huffington Post and held just days before the country will lose an hour of sleep due to daylight saving time -- explored what we mean by "sleep deprivation," what happens in tired brains and bodies, what are the longterm health risks for children and adults, and what kinds of policies should be considered for schools and businesses to protect health. And a good night's sleep. From: Harvard Views: 2650 24 ratings Time: 57:45 More in Education

euronews the network - 'The Network' goes in search of water
www.euronews.com The Nile, one of the world's longest rivers, irrigates much of Africa, from Uganda to Egypt. It has also been a source of conflict and tension. It could be again, as Ethiopia plans four large dams. Water wars, potential or existing, could multiply due to population growth and global warming. The fight for fresh water in developing countries is a theme at the 6th World Water Forum this month in Marseille. Areas like the Sahelian zone, the Middle East, and South Asia face development with increasing water demands. The UN says around 1.2 billion people live in areas of water scarcity, and 500 million people are approaching this situation. The UN counts 37 water disputes involving violence in the past 50 years.
