	BBC - Radio 4 - News - Nice Work - 26 October 2004
		Nice Work is Radio 4's essential guide to working life in Britain today - we aim to cut through the jargon to get to the heart of what matters.
		Over the next six weeks we'll be looking at the pros and cons of work experience; investigative claims that Britain is fast becoming a nation of malingerers and updating you on disability issues.
		In this week's Nice Work we look at how the traditional office is being re-thought for the 21st century worker.

		A quarter of all Americans now work in jobs that weren't listed in the Census Bureau's occupation codes in 1967.
		Look closely at the economy today and you find two growing categories of work -- but only the first is commanding better pay and benefits.
		I call this "symbolic analytic" work because most of it has to do with analyzing, manipulating and communicating through numbers, shapes, words, ideas.

		I completely agree with this argument—that the high compensation serves to motivate associates to work hard, however, I feel that the authors failed to account for why this is so.
		That is, the firm would likely predict that someone who has a demonstrated work ethic would be able to bring in more clients and devote more time to the firm.

		Managers can authorize any schedule and do so for people whose knowledge is valuable--for example, having a new mother work two days a week, or giving a PC to a woman moving from Massachusetts to North Carolina with her husband so she can remain full-time on the ISI payroll.
		Unlike major-league ballplayers and movie stars--whose work lives have become metaphors for the new career model--software talent is not represented by unions or agents.

		The front-panel controls still work as normal in Super Nice mode, but the compression is noticeably smoother and more transparent.
		The manual is pretty vague on exactly how Super Nice mode works, but the way the three compression layers interact is clearly preset within the circuitry.
		For example, a 'slap and pop' bass part still kicks along, but the individual notes are more evenly matched in level -- when you look at the gain-reduction meter, it seems to sit in more or less the same place rather than dancing around as it does in normal mode.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Guardian daily comment \| Nice work needed from the Tories
		New Labour has now squandered its relative advantage in the niceness stakes, but that is no excuse for Conservatives to fall back into complacency about the reasons they have been so consistently rejected.
		Eschewing the need to be nice would have won the support of colleagues who suspect that being preoccupied with niceness is a vacuous image-building exercise or a suspicious Portillista plot to dump principle, indulge interest groups and turn the party into New Labour by another name.
		The socially liberal agenda which has come to exemplify the pursuit of niceness may not be to Howard's taste, but he has, sensibly, allowed for a free vote when the social partnerships bill returns to the Commons.

	Academe - Nice Work If We Can Keep It: Confessions of a Junior Professor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		As one junior professor argued in a study for the Journal of Higher Education, working in a university is not the same as working in a factory, but it has its own peculiar difficulties: "I'm not a factory worker.
		Mentor, is that once junior faculty have been defined as powerless, then the solution to the problem becomes the responsibility of the institution-in the form of mentoring-or the individual-in the form of waiting.
		According to Ernst Benjamin, the director of research for the AAUP, 25 percent of all professors nationwide have tenure; an additional 10 percent are on the tenure track and the remaining 65 percent are non-tenure-track employees-what Benjamin calls an "interchangeable" work force of lecturers, part-timers, and adjuncts.

		Nice Work If You Can Get Them to Do It ADMINISTRATION, whatever it is, is the same as it was before poststructuralism and will still be the same when poststructuralism is the name of a mistake no one any longer makes.
		I think that the poststructuralist account of how things work (or don't work) is right, but I also think that its rightness doesn't matter, is of no consequence.
		High ideals won't work because they are empty and do not link up with the exigencies of real situations; prudence preternaturally alert to every shift in the current won't work because no one could perform it.

	►► Review: David Lodge, Nice Work, Thinks
		First, in both cases, the literary craftsmanship (perhaps I should say artistry, but it's not just art) is superb, and the chapters are brightened by the same gentle humor I remember from his nonfiction.
		In Nice Work a British government program designed to foster mutual understanding between the academy and the outside world ends up doing (strangely enough) exactly what it intends.
		Robyn's temporary status makes her at once vulnerable to receiving such an undesirable assignment and consumed by the quest for a tenured position somewhere — "nice work if you can get it," as they say, and hence the title.

		When the initial programme for the National Institute for Clinical Excellence was first announced, we observed that the main emphasis was to be on drug treatments (PJ, August 14, p223): over half of the new technologies to be appraised for their clinical and cost effectiveness were pharmaceuticals of one sort or another.
		This will be the committee which will advise the board of the institute on “the use within the NHS of any new or established health technology in relation to its clinical and cost effectiveness taking into account the interests of the service as a whole”.
		There is already considerable pharmacist input into the NICE's work programme through a horizon scanning process that involves the National Prescribing Centre and the Drug Information Pharmacists Group.
