so did procter & gamble, general mills, and teach for america.or its part, google says its questiins aren't out of left field.. candidates are asked questions related to the job they're applying for. if you're an engineer, you'll probably need to do some sample coding. or someone in marketing might be asked to design a campaign. but companies often give these curveball questions to gauge someone's creativity or on- the-spot thinking. for pxample-- one consulting company asks candidates to name as many uses for a brick as they can in one minute. these questions are also a way to learn bout the company you're interviewing with. places want to show that they're not only difficult- they're unique. so if you get a curveball next time you're interviewing, relax-- and don't be afraid to show a little personality. i'm alison kosik in new york. -----end-----cnn.script----- eeer heard of cleaning your plate? plate?a lot of americans are having a hard time doing that...just how much food is thrown away... eacc year! 3 bth - government profit-motives amtrak

when i left procter and gamble, i was recruited by volunteers that help people to go into business. in 2002, they asked me to go -- uganda.n my problem is that i have the problem with the word no. as i went along, people said, it cannot do this. that was the worst thing they could tell me. in 2004, essentially got some equipment over there and we planned our first tournament. we played on the soccer field. this is what impressed me. no interest in water or eating, they just wanted to play. now they are plane literally 44-6 hours continuous. there are no baseball fields in uganda. we have seven girls teams playing. we have five boys leagues playing. now, people are standing. it can happen. it is not impossible. we have done it. now, go out and do it with the kids. essentially, they will have the adults playing internationally. one of those goals was to go to the world series. the other goal was to win, not just to come, but to win. we had not done that yet. we carried it here in the little league world series and everyone in uganda knows, everyone in africa knows that this is a tenab

consumer goods giant procter and gamble has been under pressure by rising commodity prices, heightened competition and an uncertain shopper. but its latest quarterly results were stronger than forecast. p&g makes products like tide laundry detergent and pampers diapers. earnings were $0.82 per share in its fiscal fourth quarter, a nickel better than an average of analyst estimates. shares responded positively, up 3.1%. it also helped the company reversed a decision from a few weeks ago, and will buyback shares this year, $4 billion dolllars worth. meantime, food stock kraft was one of the top percentage gainers for the dow jones industrial average, rising 4%. the company will split its stock into two stand along companies sooner than expected. october first is when it expects to separate its north american grocery business from its snack food brands. this news followed the company reporting better than expected quarterly results. all five of the most actively traded e.t.f.'s were higher but at least 1.9%. the emerging market fund had the strongest rally, up 3.1%. and that's tonight's "

procter and gamble may have gotten a relative bargain. the company signed douglas to a deal before the london games. kellogg's pre-olympic deal was contingent on her winning gold. she did, and now gets the cereal box. nbc/comcast also deserves gold. despite complaints about tape- delaying high-profile contests, nbc averaged more than 30 million viewers per night in primetime, and likely generated a profit, despite the over- $1 billion cost for the games. the biggest disappointment of the london olympics was the ticketing process. the international olympic committee saw an embarrassing number of vacant v.i.p. seats, meaning more than a few national olympic committees, international federations, and sponsors failed to show up. then, there's questions over the billions great britain spent to host the olympics. as the torch gets passed to russia for the winter games in 2014, that debate will continue to burn brightly. i'm rick horrow. >> susie: that's "nightly business report" for tuesday, august 14. we want to remind you this is the time of

you have procter and colgate, general mills or kellogg, drugs like pfizer or merck.re the classic recession resistant stocks. you want to buy them when the economy slows down and investors flock to stocks that can generate safe, consistent earnings. you don't stop eating food or brushing your teeth because of a recession. but then again we know the stocks don't outperform the others, don't do better when the economy is in full speed motion. why is this secular versus cyclical distinction so important? why is it the first piece of wall street jargon i'm translating for you? it helps you understand how much companies will earn. it matters to the big institutional money managers who have so much money to throw around they are buying and selling and it drives stocks up and down. that's the anatomy of the game. the single biggest determinant of where prices go in the short term. the whole hedge fund play book is about when to buy and when to sell cyclical stocks and when to buy or sell secular growth stocks based on how economies in this country or around the world are do

, we went from the 1950's when large companies were capitalizing on mass markets, general motors, procter and gamble to a service economy which shifted much more toward smaller, local, plumbers, doctors, lawyers, you name it to much more of an innovation based economy were innovators create a very large predators that have really really propelled our economy. those are the risks that drive the economy. the whole economy has grown riskier and riskier and the foundation. riskier than one that is exploiting the mass market. that risk has been pushed not only to investors which has in part but also been pushed to employees. we don't have to find -- defined benefit contribution anymore. people have ira and things like that. much more prone to being laid off in the recession and war in the past. much more risk underlying the entire economy. it has been pushed off to everybody. we all say, when the be nice to go back to the 1950's? that growth slowed down in the 1970's and have an economy that was less risky or we could push it all off on equity investors and not have it have any impact and all
