PROBLEM: Beijing (CNN) Imagine taking a five-hour exam just to get a job interview. That's what nearly one million people did in China Sunday, taking the country's grueling civil service entrance exam, or Guokao. Test-takers had two hours to answer 135 multiple-choice questions on topics covering language, mathematics, logic, politics, law and culture. That was followed by 3 hours of essay questions. The exam is only held once a year, so for those taking part, it's do or die. They are competing for 27,000 jobs. The odds of getting one -- after the exam and a subsequent interview -- are about 36 to 1.They are competing to be interviewed for one of 27,000 jobsAnswer 135 multiple-choice questions in 2 hours, then 3 hours of essay questions

PROBLEM: (CNN) -- CNN Pentagon Correspondent Barbara Starr reported Thursday that the U.S. intelligence community has information that Russian artillery is firing into eastern Ukraine. The artillery pieces shown in the released footage are Russian M-46 130mm field guns with a range of a little over 16 miles. Why would the Russians do this? Simple -- this fits into their plan to support pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine. The end game? I believe it is the eventual absorption of that region into the Russian Federation. The area in red on the map is where much of the fighting between the Ukrainian government and the pro-Russian rebels has been occurring over the last month. The separatists have downed several Ukrainian military aircraft in this area as the fighting raged. It is also the area in which Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down in what most of us believe was a tragic case of mistaken identity and inept use of modern weaponry.U.S. intelligence officials say they believe Russian artillery is firing into eastern UkraineRick Francona says the artillery firing is a significant escalation by the RussiansHe says Vladimir Putin's concern is to protect the pro-Russian rebelsFrancona: Ultimately, Putin may claim territory in eastern Ukraine to 'protect' rebels
