Pleasanton ponders fate of PeopleSoft
From: NewsTrove.com
"Pleasanton, the East Bay city that has evolved from a farm town to a
corporate nexus, may be one step closer to losing its biggest employer and
having to cope with the ensuing void.
That step is the firing of Craig Conway as chief executive of PeopleSoft,
the business software company that has been fending off a hostile takeover bid
from rival Oracle Corp. His departure is seen by many as a sign that
PeopleSoft is now willing to cut a deal with Oracle despite the risk of major
job cuts.
In Pleasanton, the latest PeopleSoft news was met with both concern and
optimism."

Jerusalem Post | Breaking News from Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish World
From: NewsTrove.com
"Aliya, the Zionist ideal of immigrating to Israel, has changed drastically in the last 20 years.
For immigrants from Western countries, it once involved 40-foot containers stuffed full of furniture and appliances, toilet paper and tinfoil, life's necessities that couldn't be acquired in the Middle East. For some, it meant moving to a kibbutz or a moshav, the ultimate Zionist pioneering lifestyle.
For others, it required a change of profession, lateral or even backward moves in terms of career and salary.
Much of that has changed."
Herald Sun: Back to basics in class [03oct04]
From: NewsTrove.com
"The source said some current reports described pupils as "almost achieving" or "working towards" goals.
"Parents want comprehensive details on how their children are performing," the source said.
The policy is not designed to re-introduce "streaming" into schools, where pupils of the same age are put into different classes according to ability.
The Howard Government has for some time wanted to respond to the concerns of parents and educators about students' basic skills.
In 1996, a national survey of English skills found more than 25 per cent of children in Year 3 - aged between 8 and 10 - failed basic reading standards."
Firms to build model mining towns
From: NewsTrove.com
"Learning from the fate of the country's older mining communities, the PCCI will provide future mine towns a working economy that would allow them to survive the entry and exit of huge mining operations, Saludo said.
Benjamin Philip Romualdez, Chamber of Mines president, said public hostility to the mining industry could be traced to the sins of the original mines.
He said that although mining firms invested highly in the development of most mining towns, host communities and provinces rarely felt them because the national government absorbed most of these through taxes that were rarely plowed back to the provinces."
