Forget 'What are your strengths and weaknesses?' If you want to get the real dope on prospective employees, ask job candidates these seven questions.

Hybrids and small cars are the hot ticket in today's market, right? Wrong. On the other hand, the stampede continues, away from minivans, big pickups and SUVs and into cars and crossovers.

Even smart people make financial moves that are downright illogical. Emotions and superstitions have a sneaky way of keeping you from rational financial decisions. But dumb choices can have serious, real-world consequences. Here are some of the biggest blunders we all make, plus tips from the experts on how to keep cool.

Kent State May 4, 1970 - non-profit education, shooting, tragedy, massacre, student -

"TASKS OF THE MAY 4 MOVEMENT", May 4, 2009 speech by ALAN CANFORA, Director, Kent May 4 Center
*Text of May 4, 2009, speech delivered on The Commons of Kent State University by Alan Canfora, Director of the Kent May 4 Center since 1989. Canfora was shot through his right wrist by an M1 bullet fired by the Ohio National Guard on May 4, 1970 during an anti-war demonstration.*
“TASKS OF THE MAY 4 MOVEMENT”
On this solemn May 4 day of commemoration in 2009, as we have for each of the past 39 years, with respect & determination we pause to pay tribute to our fallen sisters and brothers: Allison Krause, Sandra Scheuer, William Schroeder & Jeffrey Miller.
Allison Krause, the brilliant young artist in the KSU Honors College, killed 343-feet away because she, along with her lover Barry Levine, dared to cry out against war and the National Guard invasion of our campus on May 4, 1970, only one day after she declared to a National Guard officer: “…flowers are better than bullets”.
Sandy Scheuer, a quiet, pleasant, gentle, peace-loving sorority-woman who preferred long-haired boys including Steve Drucker and Jeff Miller -- a May 4 rally spectator, books under her arm, Sandy was killed 390-feet away while walking toward a classroom building on the day of her parents’ wedding anniversary.
Bill Schroeder, a KSU business student, all-American boy, former Eagle Scout, high school basketball star, respected ROTC Military Science cadet, also killed nearly 400-feet away as he walked toward his classroom, with books under his arm, after stopping to observe armed Guardsmen with tear-gas & bayonets attack unarmed students.
And Jeff Miller, my friend, the youthful anti-war poet from New York City, a fraternity guy at Michigan State University who supported the anti-war Students for a Democratic Society, transferred to Kent State’s Honors College & opposed the National Guard occupation of our campus—killed 265-feet away even though he confided to his mother: “I may get arrested but I won’t get shot.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS, December 29, 2008: "Kent State shootings voted top Ohio story of last 75 years"
PUBLIC SURVEY RESULTS ANNOUNCED: According to the web site of the OHIO NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION, "Kent State shootings voted top Ohio story of last 75 years"...
"Since the Oct. 4 launch of www.NewspapersMakeHistory.com, more than 4,600 people have visited the website, including those from 47 different foreign countries. Nearly 59,000 page views have been logged in that time."
Why did the BEACON JOURNAL & RECORD-COURIER newspapers omit these important facts while attempting to minimize the historical significance of this epic tragedy?
Here's their aborted version, as published December 29, 2008:

POSTED: 03:11 p.m. EST, Dec 29, 2008
COLUMBUS, Ohio: The National Guard's deadly shooting of students at Kent State University during a Vietnam War protest tops a list of Ohio news events of the last 75 years.
The Ohio Newspaper Association asked visitors to a Web site to rank 75 major news events from 1933 through 2007 as part of the trade group's 75th anniversary. The Kent State shootings in 1970 left four students dead and nine wounded.
Coming in second was the 1969 moon walk by Wapakoneta's Neil Armstrong, followed by Ohio's mourning of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Jesse Owens winning four gold medals at the 1936 Olympic games and the blizzard of 1978.
Rounding out the list was Ohio joining the war effort after the 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, followed by the 1986 explosion of the space shuttle Challenger, which killed Akron's Judith Resnik, the 1974 tornado that leveled Xenia, the Cleveland Indians winning the 1948 World Series and the 2003 blackout.

OBITUARY: OHIO NATIONAL GUARD COMMANDER CHARLES FASSINGER IS DEAD
Nov. 23, 2008: Kent May 4 Center Director Alan Canfora extends his condolences to the family of Charles Fassinger who died November 22, 2008, at his home in Tennessee. Mr. Fassinger was being treated for leukemia but died in his sleep unexpectedly at home, according to his daughter Susan Crawford.
On May 4, 1970, Lt.-Col. Charles Fassinger was the highest-ranking uniformed officer on Blanket Hill at Kent State University when a different officer shouted the verbal command ordering Troop G shooters to fire 67 gunshots into a crowd of unarmed student anti-war protesters.
In recent years, Mr. Fassinger was the most visible spokesperson representing the guardsmen. Fassinger visited the campus & spoke casually with KSU students, professors and May 4 Task Force students.
Fassinger extended his hand to Alan Canfora on the KSU campus in April of 2007. On May 15, 2008, Canfora & Fassinger appreared together onstage at an educational forum in Columbus, Ohio, sponsored by the Ohio Historical Society. Again, we had the opportunity to meet privately and speak cordially. I believed Chuck Fassinger was getting close to revealing certain truths so I especially regret his passing as a lost opportunity for truth born of diplomacy.
As I said to Mr. Fassinger at that time, I personally welcome the opportunity to meet any of the 1970 Kent State guardsmen, publicly or privately, to discuss truths of our tragedy of May 4, 1970. Here in Kent, Ohio, we do not seek vengeance or retribution at this late date, we only seek the truth.
Hence, my own personal heartfelt sympathy is extended to the family of Charles Fassinger at this time.

MAY 4 MOVEMENT for TRUTH & JUSTICE: major progress in 2009?
Anticipating the election of our progressive new President Obama, the Kent May 4 Center has been preparing our inevitable approach to a new Attorney General & US Justice Department in 2009.
We're consulting attorneys now in New York, San Francisco & Columbus, Ohio. We will be presenting our case for renewed investigations of our longstanding injustices at Kent & Jackson State based upon suppressed evidence including our recent proof of the verbal commands to fire upon unarmed students & other new information.
Stay tuned. Here's quotes from today's NEW YORK TIMES newspaper, re: new US Attorney General Eric Holder:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/01/nyregion/01holder.html?pagewanted=2&_r=1&sq&st=cse&%2334;eric%20holder&%2334;&scp=1
"...[HOLDER] began to read book after book on World War II and biographies of public servants, drawing inspiration from the story of redemption he saw in "The Autobiography of Malcolm X."
"...When he arrived at Columbia in 1969 as a boyish-looking freshman, he was recruited by upperclassmen to help take over the R.O.T.C. office. Armed with pillowcases and sheets, he joined several dozen students and christened the office as a student center named for Malcolm X...
"...As history unfolded around him — the shootings of students at Kent State and Jackson State — Mr. Holder saw the law as an instrument of change.
"The law inevitably is wound up with some great political movements, social movements," he said. "I wanted to be a part of that." [END OF SELECTED QUOTES]
Our new US AG and the Ohio AG will hear our appeals for justice in 2009. Get ready.

DEVO founder GERALD V. CASALE comments: eyewitness to May 4, 1970 Kent State tragedy
URGENT NEWS! DEVO live CONCERT in AKRON
October 17, 2008! info: http://www.clubdevo.com/mp/live.html
"THE DAY THAT NEVER ENDS: May 4, 1970" --
2008 exclusive interview/commentary: Gerald V. Casale,
questions by Alan Canfora, KM4C Director.
1) Would you describe your general or specific recollection of Kent's student and/or anti-war culture in 1970? In your opinion, what percentage of 1970 Kent students were identifiable as part of the anti-war, counter-culture or "hippie" subcultures?
CASALE: By 1970 there seemed to be evidence to suggest that about 1200 students belonged to and/or participated in various anti-war groups on campus. That would still account for less than 10% of registered students at Kent State at that time. SDS, of which I was a member, was certainly the most threatening of those groups by virtue of their somewhat militant, politically and socially astute, articulated attacks on the hypocrisy of our federal, state and local government in a supposed free, democratic society. Their ideological, Gestalt type analysis went way beyond passively opposing the Vietnam War. To us, that war was just a symptom of the corrosive power of the military-industrial complex married with corporate capitalism. The co-option of true freedom and the dissolution of local community power were points of serious contention. In light of present day culture all we can say is "I hate to say I told you so".
Our SDS chapter's presence on campus at Kent was certainly an anomaly to mainstream midwest culture and just as much an anomaly to a state university fueled by sports, fraternities, and curriculums favoring career opportunities in business and technology.
