I want to burn theses lectures onto one CD, but I'm having trouble doing it. I keep getting an error message.
Have you checked all the settings on your software program?
I did, but it's the first time I've used this software and maybe I missed something.
Good morning, I'd like to reserve 25 rooms for a conference that I'm organizing in June.
Okay, I can help you with that. Do you want to reserve a room for a reception on the night that the attendees arrive?
No, we're holding the conference at Carlson College. That's all taken care of. We just need to find a place for the attendees to stay. The guests will be checking in on the Thursday the sixth and leaving on Saturday the eighth.
Have you given much thought about saving for your retirement?
Well, I spoke to a financial planner last year. She helped me set up a retirement account and now I have money automatically deposited into it each month. It's pretty easy.
I'm just now talking to a financial planner. I think I'll wind up doing something similar to what you've done.
You really should. Like I said, it's easy, and it's automatic. The money is deducted right from your paycheck. It's a little shocking the first time you get your paycheck, and it's less than you normally get, but you get used to it fairly quickly. And the other side of it is that the retirement fund grows quickly too.
Next Friday's your last day of work here, isn't it?
Yes, and I start my new job the following Wednesday.
That's not much time between jobs. Why don't you take some time off before you start your new job? You must have some unused vacation time.
Hello, I’m calling because I need to rent a table saw. Do you do that sort of thing?
Yes, we do. Do you want me to reserve one for you? It’s $35 per day, with a $200 deposit. You’ll need a major credit card and a photo ID when you come pick it up. And the saw’s due back no later than 24 hours after you pick it up.
Okay, that sounds good. I’d like to reserve one for one day. I’ll be in to pick it up at 5 p.m.
I’m interested in your packaging system, but it’s so much more expensive than your competitors’.
You’re right. Our prices are definitely higher than systems from other brands in the same category, but every system we sell is supported with extensive on-site training, and the best long-term service plan in the industry. That’s all included in the price I just gave you.
What makes the service plan so superior?
How’s your business doing?
Well, sales are definitely lower than expected. I think that’s because the housing market has been slowing down recently. In the appliance world, even small changes in the housing market tend to affect us a lot.
Hmm… I guess I never made the connection between the home appliance industry and the housing market before. But it makes sense.
The copy machine isn’t working again. Has anyone called in about it yet?
Yes, I spoke to the repair man this morning. I told him the paper’s still getting stuck in the same spot as last week when he was here. He said he’d be here around 11.
Oh good, you were able to talk to the same man. He seemed very competent. I’m surprised it’s broken again.
My name is Steve Sherman. I reserved the meeting room from 8:30 until 5 o’clock today. I was told to come to the counter to get the key.
Hi Steve, I’m Diana. We spoke on the phone when you called yesterday. It’s nice to meet you in person. Hold on. Here’s the key to the room.
Thanks. Now, I also ordered the catering package – coffee and sandwiches.
Where is everybody today? It's really quiet in here.
Fridays in July and August tend to be like this. Lots of people taking vacation days or half-days to get out of the heat of the city. On top of that (除此之外), there's some kind of promotional event being hosted by one of our vendors in the cafeteria.

Have you seen Rachel today?
Not yet. But it's only 8:45. I'll let her know you're looking for her when she gets in, which should be any minute now. Is there anything I should tell her?
Yes. We have an urgent situation with one of the pieces of art that was supposed to be revised for the Henderson poster. It should have been in yesterday afternoon. When I didn't see it this morning, I called the art vendor and they said they never received the revision request. This poster is supposed to go back to Henderson for confirmation today.
What a fantastic rug, Karen. Did you buy it while you were traveling in India with your parents last year?
No, I made it myself.
You made it yourself? That's incredible. How did you find the time to do something like that?

Right. Marge and Henry just told me that they were on their way over there. But still, it's almost too quiet. In a way it helps you concentrate on your work, but at the same time, it's so quiet it feels odd, like being here on a Saturday. And that doesn't help me concentrate.
Hi,Charlene. Aren't you going to the team meeting today?
No. Simon just sent an e-mail saying it's not being held today. There's a crisis in the tech department and they can't afford to give up the time.
What's the crisis? Is there anything I can do to help out?
There's no relief in sight from the hot and dry conditions. Today's high will be in the mid-nineties – the eighth straight day of plus-ninety temperatures. And tomorrow, Saturday, will be worse – expect temperatures to hit 100. And it doesn't look like there's any hope of a thunderstorm until perhaps Wednesday or Thursday. But as we all know from looking at the brown grass on every one's lawn, we need more than a few scattered thunderstorms to help us out, and to get us out of the high alert for brush fires that we are currently in. Later in our broadcast, we'll discuss some of the new water restrictions that will be going into effect on Monday on the North Side and on Tuesday on the South Side. So stay tuned to find out how these restrictions will affect your neighborhood and your lawn.
How will the next day's weather compare to the current day's?
Charleston Light and Gas has announced plans to raise its rates in time for the winter season. The plan, pending regulatory approval, would raise gas prices by approximately seven dollars a month for most residential customers. Charleston officials said the rate hike is necessary to keep up with the increasing prices of oil and natural gas. The State Resources Board, the public agency responsible for regulating utilities, plans to discuss Charleston's request early next week. Should the board approve the rate hike, it would go into effect on the first of December. By about how much will monthly prices rise? What reason is given for the rate hike? When would the proposed rate hike take place?

As part of our general IT upgrade, we've been seriously overhauling our security infrastructure, partitioning information across multiple servers, using new encryption schemes and so on. So one of the ways this is going to impact all of you is, well, aside from making your data more secure, we're adopting a new password policy, and we're asking everyone to please understand it and comply with it. Basically, what the policy means is every password you use within the corporate network – whether it's for your employment records or project files – all passwords now have a lifespan of one year. That means that once a year, you're going to have to change all your passwords. I know it's a small inconvenience to you, but it adds a very important layer of network security and I hope you'll all agree with how important that is.

As a personal fitness trainer, I have to tell you that one of the worst things you can do when you're working out at the gym is drink soda. Aside from making you feel bloated, the sugars in the soda keep your body from absorbing water, which can make your muscles cramp up. I mean, I don't even recommend those so-called juice drinks that contain a bunch of added sweeteners. Stick to the natural stuff. 100% juice is great. It contains fructose, which helps you rebuild your muscles and vitamins and like that. If you want, you can make your own sports drink by diluting some juice and adding a little salt. I add about a teaspoon for every quart of diluted juice. This helps keep you hydrated, and helps you replenish the salts you sweat out.
That's so annoying. I just bought this expensive printer, but it doesn't come with the USB cable I need to connect it to my computer. Now I have to go back to the computer store just to get the cable. I know, why do they do that? They should just include the cable with the printer. That's what I think. I can't believe I have to make an extra trip just to get a cable. Well, if you're going back to the store anyway, you might want to buy some ink cartridges, too. The ones that come with the printer are so-called starter cartridges. They're not regular full-size cartridges, and they'll run out after you print a few dozen pages.

You've been named one of the top architectural design firms in the Midwest. Tell me, how long has your company been in business?
From 1991 until 2001, we, I should say, I operated as a sole proprietorship. I hired subcontractors as needed, but did most of the work myself. I formed a corporation in 2002, due to all the design work I was getting.
How many employees do you currently have?
We work with a group of regular subcontractors, architects, interior designers, contractors and so on, who get together on a project-by-project basis. We find this flexibility allows us to address the specific demands of each project, regardless of its complexity or scope.
In which field does the man work?

I'm afraid there's no way we can allow you to use any part of any of our client projects in your portfolio, I'm sorry. Having said that, I do recognize that having samples to provide as part of a portfolio is important. So if you can do it while protecting our client's confidentiality, I'm willing to be a little flexible. One thing I've suggested to others in the past is to mock up something that is similar to the client's materials, but that strips out proprietary content and logos. In addition to stripping out proprietary content and logos, the other thing you need to do is to not distribute your portfolio electronically, for example, on web sites, or through e-mail, etc. I would limit the portfolio to one-on-one distribution, preferably by regular mail, to industry folks who are interested in working with you.

Good afternoon. This is Craig Morano with a WBX Radio sports update. The Dazzlers beat the Bearcats 106 to 74 in last night’s basketball game at Renfrew Stadium. Dazzler’s small forward Derrick Livingston scored 18 points, including a 3-point basket with only 15 seconds left in the game. Dazzler’s power forward and leading scorer, Justin Marlboro, who entered the game with an average of 21.3 points per game, finished against the Bearcats with20 points and eight rebounds. This is the first game the Dazzlers have won by such a large margin. The Dazzlers are scheduled to play the Memphis Snakes next Friday night at 7 p.m. at Tarrytown Stadium.
Antram Incorporated is instituting a new recycling program. Our first step is to place sets of recycling bins around our facilities. A set is made up of three separate recycling bins that will be dedicated to the collection of aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and newspaper and other paper. There will be four sets altogether. One will be placed in the first floor operations break room, one will be placed in the second floor administration break room, and two will be placed in the cafeteria. Depending on the overall success of this program, additional recycling collection points may be added. Your participation in and support for the program is greatly appreciated.
I want to discuss the changes in assignments and reporting that will go into effect October 1st. First of all, your team won't be reporting to Lisa any more. Rebecca will be your new supervisor. Lisa will still be working with your team, but she's not going to be involved with the day-to-day details or schedules of any of your projects. Her focus is going to be on expanding our client base and creating more revenue. The second change is a shift of resources within the team. Let me give an overview and then we'll go into details. First, Carol and John are going to take over the Slavin Project. This will free up Steve to be a co-lead on the Talon Project with Marcia. Robert and Wendy, you'll both remain on your current projects in your current roles. I'm sure you all have a lot of questions. And I'll do my best to try and answer them.
The Lester Water Department is flushing the municipal water system this week, starting Monday, between the hours of midnight and 5 am, and lasting through Friday morning. Flushing is performed every spring as regular maintenance to remove mineral deposits and sedimentation that has collected over the winter months. Residents are asked to let the cold water run from the tap for a full minute to ensure that it is clear. The water may be temporarily discolored but it is safe to drink and to use for cooking. For more information, call 3575439. When is the flushing scheduled to be completed? What is learned about the flushing? What are residents advised to do?

Welcome to the Saint Mary's Hospital. My name is Senior Nurse Betty Nason, and I am here to present the first-year nurse's orientation. As fresh graduate nurses, you will all be assigned a mentor from the senior staff. Your mentor will be there to guide you through your first few months in the hospital. You will also be subject to monthly evaluations conducted by me and your respective mentors. You will be evaluated on a number of factors, including bedside manners, understanding the patients' needs, punctuality, professionalism and your ability to conform to the rules of the hospital. Your pay raises will be based on successful evaluations. Now follow me as I show you to the staff room and your lockers.

The drizzle is expected to start throughout the morning, so prepare to protect yourself. However, the sky will clear this afternoon, and the temperature will be just 18 degrees Celsius. It will be a much cooler day tomorrow with a high of only seven degrees, the coldest day in several months, so you'll definitely need a warm coat when you head out in the morning. That's the morning weather report on Riley radio. Now, back to our regular pop music program.

I will be covering the elections in San Francisco tomorrow so we will have a very special guest host, my own daughter.
Good morning, commuters. This is YQN104 traffic report. On Highway seven going south, traffic is moving slowly due to fog which is still heavy in some places. If you're heading south, we recommend taking Highway 17 as an alternative route since foggy conditions have already cleared on this road. Remember that highway construction is scheduled to begin tomorrow along Highway 17 from Cherry Street up to the Delta Road exit. You may want to avoid that area for the next few weeks. Now, after our commercial break we will be with Robin for the sports updates. So please stay tuned.
