General surgeons in 2010 will need to focus on treating diseases comprehensively rather than just performing operations. Technological advances have allowed other specialties to perform procedures traditionally done by surgeons. Surgeons risk losing practice volumes unless they view themselves as treating overall patient health. Training and practice models will need to adapt to changing healthcare systems focused on quality, safety, and meeting patient and societal needs.

This document discusses challenges graduates face when transitioning from education to employment. It notes that in the UK, 20% of graduates were unemployed in 2010 and there were over 45 applicants for each graduate job in 2011. In Australia, the unemployment rate increased to 5.1% in May 2012, with more people seeking both full-time and part-time work. The document emphasizes that students must understand employer needs, research target industries, and learn to communicate their skills and value effectively to employers through personal branding, cover letters, resumes and social media. It stresses taking action now to build skills and connections that can help graduates successfully transition into employment.
This document discusses helping arts graduates develop careers after leaving university. It notes high unemployment rates for recent graduates in the UK and Australia.

The document discusses the financial crisis and responses to it. It argues that government policy mistakes led to the crisis and that bailouts will not solve it. Keynesian economic policies like increased spending and stimulus plans will not work and instead will lead to higher long-term government spending and taxation that hinders growth. The ideal approach is to limit government's role to core functions, lower taxes broadly, and let markets correct problems without intervention.
The document proposes the idea of creating ToonTube, an open source Flash cartoon player and XML episode format designed for the OLPC XO laptop that would allow for dynamically generated cartoons using backgrounds, characters, and animations defined in the XML. The project aims to better integrate human-machine interaction through educational and engaging cartoons, with the goal of creating a revolutionary product through its implementation on the OLPC to make a positive social impact. Key aspects of the proposal include developing the ToonTube player, defining an XML episode format, potential other uses such as an online or mobile player, and an implementation strategy involving prototypes.
The document discusses the changing nature of careers and how individuals must now take responsibility for managing their own career paths. It emphasizes self-awareness, networking, and lifelong learning as key skills.

This document provides a critical analysis of media in turbulent times and outlines several key points:
1. It examines the economic, political, social, and cultural forces that shape media and how they have transformed over time.
2. It explores the connections between innovations in media and broader societal changes, judging outcomes based on their impacts on liberty, equality, and solidarity.
3. A key point is that analysis must start with the persistence and globalization of capitalism, and how marketization has expanded the scale and scope of capitalist enterprises through privatization and ideological shifts that cement consumerism.
