We encourage you to join the many majors in our department who have or are including an internship as part of their work toward the sociology major. An internship gives you a chance to see how well you can apply your sociological knowledge and to be a participant/observer in an organization or agency related to your career explorations or plans. In order to obtain internship credit you must be a junior or senior AND you must have a cumulative Grade Point Average of at least 2.50. Career Services has a list of a wide variety of internships. Many students also come up with ideas for internships at work sites not listed by the university. If one interests you, talk it over with your Department Academic Advisor for guidance on how to apply for the internships, how to enroll for sociology or anthropology "internship," and other relevant information.
Applying for an Internship
- Once a student has located a potential internship either through the Internship office or through a contact that one of our staff may have, they must do the following:
1. The student must have a cumulative GPA of 2.5.
2. The student must have completed SOC 200.
3. The student must have the approval of their Academic Advisor.
4. The student must have the approval of the placement agency supervisor.
1. In order for a student to apply for our program's 450 Internship, the student will meet with a faculty member and establish a contract in which the goals of the internship and methods of achieving are established and clearly stated in writing. The legitimacy of the goals will be evaluated by the potential faculty advisor as to their applicability to sociology.
2. A student applying for our program's internship must be applying for a potential internship position which meets the following program criteria for its suitability as a sociology internship:
a. The internship placement must involve an opportunity for the acquisition and/or application of sociological knowledge (i.e., research, computer analysis, cultural awareness).
b. The placement agency must be able to provide field supervision of the student.
c. The placement must involve an area of career interest to the student.
1. There is an expectation that the internship supervising faculty member and the student establish a reading program and/or list which are relevant to the student's specific internship. For example, an internship at a youth halfway house might include a reading list that includes work in the area of deviance.
2. Regular interaction with the internship supervisor will be expected and the focus of the interaction will be to evaluate the progress of the internship as a learning experience. Keeping a field journal which relates the student's daily activities to the specified goals of the internship may be sufficient for faculty and student interaction; especially when the student's internship is located away from the La Crosse area.
3. Some form of written work will be required of all interns. The written work may take the form of a research paper or a project report. In any case, the written work should demonstrate the ability of the student to apply and/or use sociological concepts and theory to a topic related to the internship.
- The participation in an internship is a valuable sociological learning experience for the student and faculty member.
1. The sociological learning experience can occur in both formal classroom and informal contexts.
2. Internships are an excellent vehicle for conveying sociological knowledge outside of a classroom setting.
3. The approval of an internship will be dependent on its value as a vehicle for a sociological learning experience.

Do they make sense in the 4x4 world?
Through most of 2005, gasoline prices seemed to rise with no relief in sight. The unstable Middle East, refinery problems, and Mother Nature herself conspired to drive pump-gas costs to unheard-of levels. As this is written at the end of 2005, gas prices are finally starting to fall. But having gone through the rollercoaster that put fuel at or over $3 per gallon at times (or more, if you were "lucky" enough to live in a hurricane-affected area), it seems inevitable that those price levels could-and will-be reached again.
How can you protect yourself from getting gouged at the pump? One way is to follow the fuel-savings tips trotted out every time gas prices climb: proper tire inflation, engine in tune, sparing use of the A/C, and so on. But those will provide incremental gains at best. If you really want to make a difference in your monthly fuel bill, it's tough to ignore the lure of buying a gasoline/electric hybrid vehicle. The 50- and 60-mpg figures trumpeted by the most frugal of the hybrids seem pretty damn attractive compared to the gas hog you've got in your driveway.
Well, maybe. Though there is, right now, a rush to buy these green machines, there's also a backlash-that maybe these hybrid vehicles aren't all they're made out to be.
Hard truth number one: As 4x4 enthusiasts, we're pretty much stuck watching the whole hybrid scene pass us by, at least for now. Most state-of-the-art hybrid technology is being applied to passenger cars and, to a lesser degree, midsize and compact SUVs. Those SUVs are for the most part front-drivers with an all-wheel-drive system designed more for inclement weather than rocky trails or mud holes.
That's not to dismiss the technology. We've sampled nearly all of the hybrid trucks currently on the market and found them to be capable and competent road vehicles. Some, like Toyota's Highlander, are even more fun to drive than their conventional counterparts because the boost from the electric motors makes them more powerful than the gas engine alone.
But these are road-going vehicles. The only trucks you can buy with a hybrid system and a low-range transfer case are the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra hybrid pickups, which are just now going on sale nationwide. You should know, too, that these trucks are equipped with "mild" hybrid systems that (a), return a reported 10 percent fuel economy improvement, not the huge numbers you see with the cars; and (b), are designed to shut off the system's engine start/stop feature-its main source of fuel savings-when low range is engaged. (See the sidebar "Strong or Mild?" for a brief explanation of how hybrid systems work.)Why does it seem the technology is passing us by? Manufacturers are struggling to design a full hybrid system compatible with a vehicle that's often loaded close to its GVWR. All those Priuses and Civic Hybrids you see on the road are typically carrying one, maybe two people. The tiny internal combustion engine/electric motor combo isn't taxed hauling that kind of weight, even going uphill. The full hybrid systems found in the Toyota Highlander/Lexus RX 400h are more powerful, but even those SUVs are rarely as loaded down as a fullsize truck full of ATVs, camping gear, lumber, or other weighty cargo.
Engineers call that sort of use "bandwidth." "It's a challenge to design a full hybrid system for a truck since its bandwidth is so high," said Mike Polom, assistant chief engineer for GM's starter/generator hybrid system. "You've got high expectations for a vehicle like this, to achieve improved fuel economy in addition to meeting the high demands for a truck's utility-work, towing, off-roading. That's something you don't have to do with a Prius."
Plus, many of a hybrid's on-road characteristics just don't fit with the way we use our trucks. If you were crawling along a rocky trail, would you want your engine to shut off every time you lifted off the accelerator? On the other hand, the supplemental torque from an electric motor can add thrills to high-speed blasts around the dunes or on fire roads, but driving like that will drain the motor's batteries without giving them much regeneration time, so you'll inevitably find yourself depending on the internal combustion engine alone. So why pay the weight penalty of having the motor and batteries along for the ride? And really, when you're creeping along at a couple miles per hour or playing trophy truck on back roads, are you that concerned with fuel economy?
How Hybrids Work
Though the system details vary from maker to maker, hybrid drivetrain components in today's trucks can be broken down into two major groups:
Full (or strong) hybrid drivetrains are made up of two propulsion systems: an internal combustion engine and one or more electric motors. Depending on how the system is designed, the engine and motor(s) will work independently or together to improve fuel economy without hurting performance. In some cases, performance is actually enhanced due to the torque provided by the motor(s). These systems shut off the engine when idling and restart it when the accelerator pedal is depressed. (In some cases, engine accessories such as air conditioning will keep the engine running even at idle.) The electric motors do not need plugging in; the internal combustion engine charges the batteries that drive the motor, plus the (normally wasted) energy spent during deceleration, coasting, and braking is captured, converted to electricity, and stored in the batteries.
Mild hybrid drivetrains do not have a second propulsion system beyond the internal combustion engine. Instead they are equipped with a starter/generator system that allows the same stop-at-idle characteristic of a full hybrid and, in some cases, a certain amount of propulsion torque. Typically these vehicles are also designed to make available the electricity stored during coast-down and regenerative braking via power outlets in the cab and bed.
These diagrams, displayed on the dashboard of the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Lexus RX 400h, present a simplified schematic of how a full hybrid system works. See how the dotted lines and arrows are running from the battery and motors to the wheels? That means the SUV is operating on electric power only (which happens at low speeds). A second line from the engine to the front wheels would indicate the truck was being driven by both gasoline and electricity. In the right-hand diagram the Lexus is either decelerating or under braking, because the dotted lines indicate energy is moving from the wheels to the battery pack.

Senator-elect Angus King, I-Maine, walks to a news conference where he announced that he will caucus with the Democrats in the 113th Congress on Capitol Hill in Washington on Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012. King has now received his committee assignments. (AP Photo/Harry Hamburg)
By Kevin Miller
Staff Writer
WASHINGTON — Sen.-elect Angus King of Maine has been chosen to serve on Senate committees that help craft the federal budget and oversee the nation's armed forces and intelligence-gathering agencies.
In the House of Representatives, Democratic leaders have recommended Rep. Chellie Pingree of Maine for the powerful Appropriations Committee, which is responsible for deciding how federal dollars are spent.
The Senate and House Democratic Steering Committees' assignment lists are subject to approval by the respective Democratic caucuses.
King was chosen for seats on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Budget Committee, Intelligence Committee and Committee on Rules and Administration.
Although he's politically independent, King opted to caucus with Democrats, the Senate's majority party.
Much of Congress' work on legislation and oversight of government programs is done at the committee level, and the party caucuses control committee assignments.
Lawmakers often seek posts on powerful money-related committees and on panels focused on issues that are important to their constituencies. Freshmen often have less sway than veteran members when it comes to assignments.
King's recommended appointments to several higher-profile committees caught the attention of some in Washington. An article on Politico bore the headline "Good to be King: Rookie gets sweet panel seats."
King's widely anticipated decision to caucus with the Democrats gave the party 55 seats in the 100-seat Senate. The former Maine governor said throughout his campaign that he might try to use his caucus decision to negotiate better committee assignments.
King did not make himself available for an interview Wednesday, but released a statement saying "I am pleased with these assignments and feel they are in line with the priorities of Maine people."
Sen. Olympia Snowe, a moderate Republican with considerable sway, will retire in January after 34 years in Congress, so Maine will likely lose a coveted seat on the Senate Finance Committee, which oversees taxation and health care.
King will fill the Intelligence Committee seat being vacated by Snowe. He will be involved in classified briefings on intelligence matters and in oversight of the agencies.
Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins now serves on the Armed Services Committee. Republicans have yet to release their committee assignment recommendations.
King and Collins could serve together on the Armed Services Committee, which oversees all aspects of the military, or Collins may be seeking a different assignment.
As a member of the Rules Committee, King could be involved in the Democratic leadership's attempts to reform the filibuster, which Democrats say Republicans have abused in recent years to slow progress on key issues. Republican leaders have vowed to fight filibuster reform efforts.
The Budget Committee is responsible for developing a spending blueprint for the federal government based on anticipated revenues. The Senate Appropriations Committee, on which Collins now serves, then decides precisely how that money is spent.
Pingree's anticipated appointment to the House Appropriations Committee would give Maine a presence on a powerful committee in that chamber.
Pingree is one of two Democrats who party leaders added to the 50-member Appropriations Committee on Wednesday.
"I had an opportunity and I felt that I couldn't turn it down," said Pingree, noting that an open seat was reserved for a representative from New England. "I know from my previous legislative experience that Appropriations is really where policy becomes resources."
If approved for the assignment, Pingree plans to seek appointment to the subcommittees that handle defense spending and agriculture.
Pingree is married to S. Donald Sussman, majority share owner of the Portland Press Herald.

If the City of Brampton is as budget-constrained as city officials tell us, I wonder why city staff spent $164,798 between 2005 and 2012 purchasing tickets to Mayor Fennell's fundraising events?
In effect the city staff are getting free attendance. The taxpayers are picking up the tab. I believe if senior staff and elected officials are getting free dinners at our expense, the taxpayers themselves ought to have a shot at this tremendous freebie.
Times are tough and we can all use a free meal.

I recently purchased an Intel X25-M 80gb SSD from an online retailer. When I received the item there was several issues with missing packaging/accessories, the drive itself has some marks (possibly some type of corrosion).
1) Has anyone had issues with counterfit or fake drives? I ask because of the Intel sticker is an (Intel Inside - like sold with CPUs) rather than the Intel logo shown in all Internet publications.
2) Is there any good way to prove (by visual or hardware identification) that it is authentic/geniune? I assume the BIOS or the Intel SSD Toolkit would be a good starting place, but I'd like an informed opinion. Also the sticker on the back would be easily enough faked, so I don't think that is a valid method of verification. Not to mention that a lot of internet images of these SSDs have the model sticker on the top of the drive and it comforms to the contour of the moulded top plate - not sure if this might have changed or be different between oem or retail versions.
3) Is there any way to determine (assuming software/hardware) how much a drive has been used ie. like an internal usage counter? In case this item is legit, but used.
The retailer has just responded that although their ad specified a different model number and that the item would have the Intel packaging and accessories the product is (BULK) not retail.....
Thanks in advance,
So according to this thread I can find out if the drive has been used by looking at the wear indicator in the SMART attributes:
So that probably answers the question about determining if the drive is used or not.
Contact Intel support they will be able to help you:
The wear may not be the best clue to whether the drive is counterfeit or not. Some new drives are reported as showing a significant amount of data being written. Check the product code also. The code will have a letter and number after the G2. A C1 indicates an OEM version and R5 the retail. The OEM version comes with no accessories, and is packaged in a small, plain, brown cardboard box. The Intel logo sticker should be on top, although some light oxidation is normal on the bottom of the housing. Only the top of the drive is polished. Did it come with the plastic spacer attached? The Intel Inside sticker (on the bottom) sounds a bit suspicious and I would query Intel about this. Probably best to send photos too.
Did you pay a lot less from this particular retailer? Too good to be true prices generally are just that and often a good indicator that a product may be counterfeit. Have you tried running the drive yet? Fake flash memory typically performs way below spec and is often the biggest giveway.
So I'd say get in touch with Intel and provide them with as detailed a description as possible. It may be that they have simply changed the stickers. Sorry I can't be of any more help with that but I'm taking delivery of another Intel SSD today and will let you know if there is any change in appearance to my existing one which was purchased some months ago. Good luck and I hope that the drive you received is a genuine one.
Sorry you may have misunderstood a couple of my points.
1) I wasn't saying that the wear indicator was an indication of a counterfeit drive, only that if the drive turns out to be legit, that the corrosion on the bottom which seems completely out of place on a 'new' drive makes me think that the alternative is a 'used' drive. So I wanted to check that the drive is not used as a fallback position.
2) My model is: SSDSA2M080G2GN (the GN seems different to your C1 or R5)
3) No plastic spacer or other accessories.
4) The Intel sticker is on top where the engineering diagrams and all internet photos indicate. However it is different from all of those in that they all show just the Intel logo and appear to be embossed on the drive rather than plain stickers (correct me if I'm wrong)
5) I paid $250USD from a seemingly reputable online store.
Thanks for your help.
I think I'll get in contact with Intel support and see what they come up with. In parallel I think I'll hook the drive up and see what the BIOS and SMART attributes return. Then do some performance tests.
My model is: SSDSA2M080G2GN (the GN seems different to your C1 or R5)
Could be a regional difference? I ordered my drives in the UK. I'm having the new drive delivered here at work today. Will open it up when it arrives and have a look at the logo and let you know if it's printed or a sticker. Can't remember off the top of my head but maybe someone else will? The oxidation on the bottom is most likely simply due to being handled at the factory. Sweat / fingerprints will do this and not uncommon on other components that use the same materials. Let us know how you get on after you hook it up. The performance should provide some clues in the event it is counterfeit or used. Hope all goes well.
Edit: Just found this thread relating to your GN product code. Hope that helps.
Drive just arrived! The logo is printed and therefore very slightly raised. Sealed in an anti-staic bag, code is C1 and spacer attached as before. Like my existing drive there is some light smearing / oxidation on the underside which I'll wager is from mucky fingers.
Oh and let's not forget it came with the all important "My SSD Rocks!" sticker!
Thanks for the response Ziggy.
I'm glad to hear in some ways that there is some oxidization on the bottom. On the other hand I'm also disappointed. You would think that a 'sensitive' electronic device would only be handled with static free gloves etc and therefore should not ever get oxydization (at least from that).
Did a couple of tests last night in an external e-SATA caddy:
1) The Serial and Model detected matched the drives sticker
2) Tried to update the firmware to the new version, but the updater couldn't detect the drive - could be another issue with my system
3) Ran ATTO Performance tool and found that the performance was seemingly less than reviews had reported. Write speed was about right at a little over 70mb/s, but read speed was significantly less than the reported >200mb/s
Unfortunately the RAID which this was to replace just died and so I'm going to be a little short on testing today.
Thanks again,
Your performance / update issues might be because you are running from an e-SATA controller. You have a free SATA port you can try it on? I just replaced a couple of Raptors in RAID with the 160GB. Thought I might miss the RAID but pleased so far. Anyway, I'd try updating on a SATA port and see how it goes. Good news that your drive appears to be the real deal though!
Please contact Intel Customer Support for an RMA. We are very interested in as much information you are willing to share about this purchase.
Just wanted to clear somethings up because I bought the same drive. I bought this drive from newegg they list it as OEM but it's really a bulk drive. I have called newegg & intel support to confirm it's a legit drive. They both confirmed it's BUT it comes with NOTHING because it's sold as bulk. BTW my drive looks the same as yours but my performs to intel specs, the problem with your drive is because your hooking it up to a E-SATA port.
Please read these two threads to reaffirm.
Thanks for the reply.
I didn't actually get it from NewEgg, but a similar supplier. I think that we are probably in the same boat.
There are two outstanding issues though:
1) The new firmware loader couldn't detect the drive. I admit it could be related to my mobo, which is a little on the old side. But Intel support suggested that it might be because the drive was OEM. Have you tried the latest update (I think its 02HD)?
2) How did you gauge performance? I ran the ATTO tool and got 70mb write (which is as per spec) but only ~120Mb/s read which is only just over half of what I expected given the average 220mb/s reported in a lot of reviews. What results did you get?
Somone suggested that my port although set for SATA2 in the BIOS might only be performing at SATA1 speeds. I'm going to try it in a current spec machine and run the same tests to verify.
actually i just saw the picture of your drive. Is there no intel sticker on it at all? that looks to be like a fake. the logo should printed on the drive, like imprinted
a) Have you been able to update the firmware to 02HD on your 'bulk' drives? yes
b) Do you have oxydization on the bottom side of your drive? yes
c) Do you have the same intel logo pictured in the zipzoomfly and other sites? no
I'm getting 251.5 seq read 81.3 seq write.
thanks for the response Crspyjohn.
Just wanted to confirm you said 'No' you don't have the same Intel logo on your SSD as the official web sites? Did you mean you don't have the same sticker as my drive?
See how the intel logo is engraved on the ssd? That's how my is. Actually my drive looks exactly the same as the one on newegg now

Overall Experience at American Institute - Margate:
I went to this school in 2012. It was one of my biggest mistakes. The students were fine the only issue I had was with Rob Black. Rob would make homosexual jokes or be flirtatious with a male in my classroom. When I spoke out about it I was outcast ed because I was not open to all the homosexual jokes that were going on around me. Rob made my life hell. Be vary careful if your going to this school because Rob is an actual warlock and I think that he picked up that I had spiritual insights that were given to me since birth. I do not consider myself to be a psychic but I am very clairvoyant. When I started showing my gift by telling a person in my class about an incident that happened when she was younger. I was treated like crap. This school is a real life Harry Potter institute.
Academic Experience at American Institute - Celebration:
The course is specially designed just for respiratory therapist with no extra courses that are not related to the major. Great for students out of high school and also young adults who haven't attended for a while. There is also a lot of hands-on experience in the labs and also in the field with the clinical part.
Academic Experience at American Institute - Celebration:
Haven't started the core classes yet,but so far everybody from the admissions rep,the librarian, and the program director have been extremely helpful in getting me enrolled and passing the entrance exam, which was pretty tough.

Price died in a car accident in 2005.
Roadside memorials, like those left in honor of people killed in accidents — generally involving automobiles, motorcycles, bikes and pedestrians — began as a tradition of early Hispanic settlers in the Southwestern United States.
Today, these memorials can be found on roadways throughout the country. The lives represented by the crosses left behind are unknown to all but family and friends, but their memorials sit quietly as a caution to those driving by.
On Alabama interstates, signs of any kind not placed by the state department are considered illegal. The statute stems from concern over ease of highway maintenance and distraction to drivers. At the same time, Rebecca Leigh White, an information specialist with Alabama Department of Transportation, said state troopers and ALDOT workers do not actively seek out memorials to remove. "But at the same time we need to make sure our roads are cleaner and safer for drivers. The last thing we want is more crosses."
One recent and well-known memorial in the area is that of Derek Jensen, the director of external affairs at the Center of Domestic Preparedness in McClellan. The 37-year-old cyclist was hit by a truck on his way to work nearly a year ago, on June 14, 2012.
The day Jensen was killed, friend and fellow cyclist, Preston York, assembled a cross with a bike wheel to signify his death.
"I've mowed around it a few times and picked up trash. The family has also gone by and placed personal effects," York said. "These memorials just remind us of someone that's passed, keeps them in our memories. And it also reminds us to keep a close look out for cyclists, in particular."
Though Jensen's memorial does not revolve around religion, many crosses, the universal symbol for Christianity, hold specific faith sentiments for the people who construct them.
Gary Pete White Jr. died in a motorcycle accident on U.S. 431 in 2003. On his cross, which is tucked behind a guardrail, written in big block print is Joshua 1:9: "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Faith-based grieving
For some families dealing with tragedy, the emotional solace that is found in faith cannot be replaced. But the overwhelming number of wooden crosses dotting roadways raises the question of how other religions grieve.
"We don't have memorials," Rabbi Eytan Yammer of Birmingham said of those who practice Judaism. "We engage with the people who have passed at their grave site, because there is a presence with the deceased there. And we focus on the grave as a place for remembrance as opposed to the place where they died."
For Jews, being able to pray in a spot designated for remembrance, such as a cemetery or synagogue, is an added issue, explained Yammer.
"That being said, there's not a traditional or Halachic (Jewish law) reason why a person cannot put a Magen David (Star of David) up," he said. "But, for the most part, it's just not a customary practice."
Ashfaq Taufique, president of the Birmingham Islamic Society, said Islam has no religious symbol that would even be able to translate in place of a cross.
"The symbolic gestures you see relating to Islam are merely reflections of symbols found in our architecture," he said. "And in general, we do not memorialize. Praying for the dead is part of our religion, so we strictly follow the injunctions."
In Islamic funeral proceedings, there is no viewing or eulogy delivered. Family members of the deceased continue to ask for forgiveness for the sins of the dead and pray they are in heaven during their five times of prayer each day, Taufique said.
A way to remember
However, for most of those erecting roadside memorials, the solace comes from just remembering.
"It was just a nice way for everyone to grieve together and share stories," Mallory Vingers said of the construction of the 8-foot-tall cross on U.S. 431 in memory of Corey Pressley and Cory Curtis. The boys, 20 and 19, were killed in a rollover accident in June 2008.
"People came by all throughout the day when it was up," she said. "(They left) hats and other memorabilia that reminded people of them. There were also sharpies for people to write something on the cross, such as a memory or simply something they wished to say to them."
Cindy Burch, whose sons were two of the four young men killed in the Anniston Blockbuster shootings of 2002, said the memorial placed at the site of their murder was difficult to bear at first.
"The memorial was started by (Austin Joplin's) grandfather," Burch said. "And it was hard in the beginning, driving by the first time, the first few times. But then it was comforting."
After the original memorial was damaged, Burch replaced it with four cement crosses with each boy's name. The crosses are imprinted with a double-star logo, which the artist places on all of her cement artwork.
"Whenever I would have a meltdown, which was often, my husband would take me outside," Burch said. "And one night, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything in the sky. Just black. And I sat down, closed my eyes and said, 'Boys, if you're up there and you know how hard this is for me. Just give me anything. Give me a sign it's going to be OK.'"
Burch said when she opened her eyes, there were two stars alternately blinking above her.
"I was sure it was a plane," Burch said. "But they weren't. And I felt good. I cried more, but I had a good feeling."
Now, those memorials give her that feeling as well.

Guitarist Vlatko Stefanovski, mentioned in the interview, is not Estonian, but Macedonian! This is particularly important, since Macedonia was a part of Yugoslavia, and Stefanovski (with his band Leb i sol) is famous for his jazz/fusion interpretations of Macedonian traditional music that were very popular (and still are) in ex-Yugoslavia. Bojan Zulfikarpasic collaborated with Stefanovski on the album Koreni (Roots), and also plays some interpretations of Macedonian music, that were inspired by Stefanovski's arrangements.

Gulf Sea Turtles Still Not Safe
Over the past few months we've been reporting how sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico have been drowning in shrimp nets in appalling numbers.
Well, we have an update today – and the news is mixed.
In response to the revelation this summer that hundreds of sea turtles were dying, the government has stepped up its enforcement effort. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), between mid-April, the start of shrimping season, and late October, NOAA's enforcement officers inspected more than 444 vessels to see if they were equipped with turtle escape hatches (also known as turtle excluder devices, or TEDs).
The verdict? 371 of the boats had TEDs in compliance with the law – leaving 73 of them either without TEDs or with the hatches tied shut or improperly installed.
While we're happy to hear that NMFS is keeping up with TED enforcement efforts, these new numbers mean that only 83% of the boats are following the rules in place for the Gulf shrimp fishery to protect sea turtles from extinction. And that is simply not good enough.
Learn more about Oceana's sea turtle campaign and stay tuned!

Thursday Trivia: Loggerhead Sea Turtle
Today's trivia post is about an animal we talk about a lot: the loggerhead sea turtle.
Loggerheads are named for their broad heads and strong jaws, which they use to force open even large hard shellfish like conchs and giant clams. Loggerheads are found throughout tropical and warm temperate waters, and are the most common sea turtle in the Mediterranean. Loggerheads have a redder hue than most sea turtles, and they are often coated in barnacles and algae.
Because they drink salty sea water, they have developed glands near their eyes that can get rid of this salt, which makes females onshore to nest look like they're crying. Scientists theorize that adult loggerheads use the Earth's magnetism to navigate – how cool is that?
Loggerheads, which are considered endangered, are frequently caught accidentally by the fishing industry; other threats include beach erosion and development, pesticides, and oil spills. Oceana's sea turtle campaign focuses on preventing sea turtle bycatch, protecting habitat, and promoting legislation that keeps turtles safe.
You can learn more about loggerhead sea turtles from Oceana's marine wildlife encyclopedia.

Help Sea Turtles for Kate Walsh's Birthday!
It's our favorite sea turtle lover's birthday today: Kate Walsh!
In lieu of gifts, her fans, also known as Walshies, have been sending donations to – you guessed it – Oceana. So far they've raised $400, and the deadline is midnight tonight. So there's still time if you want to show Kate and sea turtles some love.
Per Kate's blog: "All it takes is a dollar and a PayPal account. Just click on this link, hit the "Chipin" button, make your donation, and leave a personalised message for Kate! Yup – it's that easy!"
A huge thanks to everyone who has donated, and happy birthday, Kate!

Thursday Trivia: Hawksbill Sea Turtle
The adult hawksbill sea turtle lives in shallow warm water in coral reefs and mangrove areas around the globe.
This type of turtle is named for its beak-shaped mouth, which it uses to pry food out of nooks in a reef (tweet us their favorite food and you could win a prize!)—they also have two claws on each front flipper.
Like other sea turtles, hawksbills lay their eggs on sandy beaches, cover the clutch, and then head back to the ocean. When the eggs hatch, baby hawksbills make their way to the ocean. They can't dive as well as other types of turtles, though, so they typically eat seaweed closer to the surface as they grow up. Less than one in 1000 hawksbill eggs will survive to adulthood.
Hawksbill sea turtles suffer the consequences of beaches that are no longer safe for nesting, unsafe fishing equipment, and struggling reefs, but they are also hunted by humans, particularly for their shells, which are the chief source of tortoiseshell. International law prohibits trading hawksbill shells.
Oceana's sea turtle campaign focuses on preventing sea turtle bycatch, protecting habitat, and promoting legislation that keeps turtles safe. You can learn more about hawksbill sea turtles from Oceana's marine wildlife encyclopedia.

Lick a Stamp, Save a Sea Turtle
For those of you out there who still send snail mail – and I know there are some of you – we have some fun news. The U.S. Postal Service has issued a special "Save Vanishing Species" stamp to benefit endangered species including elephants, rhinoceros, tigers, great apes, and – you guessed it -- sea turtles.
While we would have picked the sea turtle to be the face on the stamp, there are as few as 3,200 Amur tigers left in the wild, so the big cat was chosen, and we have to admit it turned out beautifully.
Each stamp is 55 cents, 11 cents above the cost of a first class stamp. Those extra cents will benefit the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's five Multinational Species Conservation Funds, including the Marine Turtle Conservation Act (MTCA).
Only the fourth of its kind ever created by the Postal Service, this stamp is now available in post offices nationwide and will remain on sale for at least two years.
The MTCA is funded by annual U.S. Congressional appropriations. As U.S. lawmakers focus on spending cuts in 2011 and the years to come, the sales of the wildlife stamp are an important source of funding for these animals. If all 100 million stamps are sold over the next two years, it will net about $10 million for these vanishing species.
And if it's a success, the program could be extended. Since its inception, the Breast Cancer Research stamp has raised more than $80 million.
So go ahead, send your next letter with a sea turtle in mind – get your own set of these beautiful new stamps!

Rehabbed Sea Turtles Released in Chesapeake Bay
Last Friday the National Aquarium and Oceana released three endangered Kemp's ridley sea turtles into the Chesapeake Bay at Maryland's Point Lookout State Park. The turtles came to the National Aquarium this winter from the New England Aquarium, after they were found stranded along Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
Kemp's ridleys are the most endangered and smallest of all sea turtle species, making them particularly vulnerable to severe changes in water temperature. These turtles suffered from cold stunning - the sea turtle equivalent of hypothermia. After months of long-term rehabilitation by the National Aquarium's Marine Animal Rescue Program (MARP), the turtles, named Oceana, Prancer and Vixen, were released back into the wild.
Sea turtles commonly feed on an assortment of jellies and invertebrates in the Chesapeake Bay during warm summer months, which is why Aquarium officials chose this date and location for the release. These turtles are expected to stay in the mid-Atlantic region or head north for the remainder of the summer, before eventually heading south again in the fall.
Oceana the sea turtle sported a small satellite transmitter that will track its location and speed for several months, helping researchers learn more about sea turtle migration and travel patterns. You can follow Oceana's (and the other two turtles') progress at the Aquarium's website. Check out more photos from the release on Flickr!

Kate Walsh: My Ocean Inspiration
I had the good fortune to spend quite a bit of time in and around the ocean and sea during the last few months of my hiatus from "Private Practice," both for work and for pleasure.
My love for the oceans is obvious, to be sure, but nothing reinvigorates my commitment to keeping our oceans clean, sustainable and beautiful more than swimming, snorkeling, sailing and swimming in them.
The waters off the coast of Anguilla and the Bahamas are so clean, clear and warm and I got to see so much ocean life, from a vast array of colorful fish to the lush and intact coral reefs. I also love to visit the azure waters of the Aegean Sea that surrounds the islands of Mykonos and Santorini.
Last month, I placed a banner on my website encouraging my fans to "Be an Ocean Hero" this summer (I pledged to clean my local beach.) So I was a little surprised (and very humbled and flattered) when some of these people – The Walshies as they're affectionately known – wrote me to relate how my involvement with Oceana inspired them to become advocates too.
With that in mind, I'd like to share with you a few inspirational notes from The Walshies that reveal the capacity for the oceans to inspire and the power each of us holds to encourage our friends, family (or even fans) to get active in their protection:
Nicole (Miami, FL): After hearing about Oceana's Be an Ocean Hero pledge, now I too look beyond to what lies ahead, not only the superficial aspect of our waterways. Thanks Kate and thanks Oceana!

Victory: Court Rules in Favor of Oceana on Bycatch
Great news for the oceans: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has ruled in favor of Oceana in a suit that will require commercial fisheries from North Carolina to the Canadian border to monitor and report the amount of bycatch, or untargeted marine life, they discard.
This victory may seem like a small step, but it is a triumph against one of the biggest problems facing our oceans today. Bycatch is a major player in the destruction of marine ecosystems, and occurs when fishing gear indiscriminately traps marine life in nets, trawls, and fishing lines.
Tons of fish are wasted and thousands of marine mammals, sea turtles, sharks and sea birds are injured or killed every year as bycatch. While the new law does not place limits on bycatch, it represents a crucial and long-awaited step in increasing the transparency in commercial fishing.
"For more than 15 years NMFS has violated the law, managing America's fisheries without reliable information about how much fish and other marine wildlife is being shoveled over the side of boats, often dead or dying," said Gilbert Brogan, northeast representative for Oceana. "This ruling is a significant step towards improving the management of U.S. fisheries in the Atlantic."
Congratulations to everyone who helped win this victory for more abundant oceans!

CEO Note: Sea Turtles Deserve a Breather
I want to update you on a needless tragedy that continues to unfold in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean.
As I told you in May, Oceana uncovered government data showing that the shrimp fishery has been violating sea turtle protection rules, which likely has caused thousands of endangered sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic to be needlessly killed by shrimp trawls.
It's been more than a month since our discovery, but the government is still standing by and watching as the sea turtles deaths continue.
Our campaigners uncovered official government documents showing that shrimp trawlers required to use Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) are often using them improperly or not at all. TEDs are escape hatches for sea turtles, who need to reach the surface to breathe. The documents even show that some shrimpers have deliberately sewn TEDs shut—condemning any sea turtle they catch to death.
Shockingly, there are some types of shrimp trawls, like "skimmer trawls" that are not even required to use TEDs at all. Instead, these trawls are supposedly required to limit the length of time they tow their nets to prevent sea turtles from drowning. However, the government documents show that these time limits are not enforceable and demonstrate that TEDs should be required for these shrimp trawls as well.
In part as a result of pressure from Oceana, the government has announced that it will be conducting a formal analysis of the shrimp fishery's impact on threatened and endangered sea turtles and will be considering options for additional protections.
This is a pathetically slow response. It is appalling that the fishery is allowed to continue operating despite evidence that shrimpers in the region are likely responsible for the death of record numbers of sea turtles. Oceana has called for the immediate closure of the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery until and unless adequate sea turtle protections are established and enforced.
Sea turtles have been swimming in the oceans for millions of years, and now they are being unnecessarily pushed toward extinction. It's time to give sea turtles a breather. The government should act immediately to protect threatened and endangered sea turtles.

What It Is
Fifi Rabbit is a sweet and soft bunny dressed in a pink knitted floral dress. Fifi has sweet details, such as a soft velour body, polka dots on the bottoms of her paws and ears, a soft fluffy tail, and a flouncy tutu-esque skirt. Like all of Ragtales' stuffed toys, Fifi draws its inspiration from what the company calls the heritage of English life. Fifi comes in a linen bag that has her name embroidered on it.
Why It's Useful
This toy has a classic and vintage feel. For parents looking for the highest-quality toys that are a departure from familiar characters, Fifi Rabbit and the other toys in this line may be just the thing.
Who It's For
Fifi Rabbit is for ages birth and up.
What To Be Aware Of
Fifi Rabbit is available in specialty toy stores.
These stuffed animals are comparatively expensive, but they are likely to become beloved heirlooms as well because of their classic design. Kids won't "grow out" of these beautiful toys.

It's so tempting to get out and enjoy the sun. However, new research from Mayo Clinic shows that skin cancer is on the rise — especially among younger people.
Incidence of melanoma — the most deadly type of skin cancer — has dramatically increased among young women.
The recent research shows that people who frequently use indoor tanning beds are 74 percent more likely to develop skin cancers, including melanoma.
Tanning beds use lamps that expose people to a higher UVA radiation than normal sun exposure, which in turn speeds up the development of skin damage.
Most young people don't think about the consequences of using tanning beds or being out in the sun to get a tan.
This news should be a strong wake-up call to everyone on the dangers of tanning. However, it may take time to recognize that no amount of tan is really healthy.
The good news is that people are now more aware of monitoring their skin and the need to see their doctor if they notice changes. Because of this, many skin cancers are detected earlier when treatment is more effective.
Here are a few points to keep in mind regarding skin cancer:

I was diagnosed with Merkel Cell Carcinoma which is a neuroendocrine type cancer of skin origion. It is a very rare but aggressive cancer with a very high fatality rate. Excessive sun exposure is on of the main risk factors yet you don't hear it listed along with other skin cancers like basil, squamous and the very serious one melanoma. Although rare, the rate is increasing rapidly. I feel people should be informed of this skin cancer also.

Abbey Road Printed Canvas Wallet
Product Details
Abbey Road Studios is the most famous recording complex in the world and is an iconic symbol of British music. Wild & Wolf has collaborated with the studios to bring you this great canvas wallet with a leather interior.
The exterior of the wallet features an image of the TG 12345 audio mixer desk, one of the most iconic pieces of equipment at Abbey Road Studios. It was EMI's first production eight track-recording console and was custom built to service the three main recording rooms at the Studios.
Hailing a new technological era in recording, the prototype was installed in Studio Two in 1968 and was used on countless legendary albums throughout the 1970s and early 1980s.
The original specification and design, with gold plated contacts and studs, ensured the longevity of the desk, and with minor repairs; the mixer is still able to be used on recording sessions today and for future generations of musicians. The wallet is packaged in an attractive Abbey Road Studios gift box. A fantastic gift for fans of the iconic studio.

MyMaria]ccan Agassi be a legend now that he's retired?If so, I would say my favorite male legend would be Andre Agassi, and female either Chris Evert or Martina Navratilova.
scottish]IIts gotta be Pistol Pete for me, absolute legend!! So calm and collected always!! I guess it depends who you used to watch when growing up, some of them were before my time so I have never really seen them play that much, but Sampras was around when I was growing up in the 90s and he always played classic matches at Wimbledon! We used to watch his matches when we were about 8 or 9 years old, and then you'd go out and play tennis with your friends and try to imagine for a few seconds that maybe you could be as good as him! :D

Sunday To Saturday From 10:30 AM To 10:00 PM

Editorial Review by Christy Buena – Family-friendly restaurant specializes in hamburgers and breakfast platters serving up large portions at affordable prices.
Excellent breakfast, kick butt omelette, awesome breakfast sandwich. – The breakfast was phenomenal for the price. Clean, comfortable atmosphere with friendly service. Preparation of the food took a while and the restaurant wasn't even busy, but otherwise, I highly recommend this place.
Great Chicken Burger and Milk Shake – I love their chicken burger and regular hamburger as well, with a side of curly fries. You get to play with your burger (as in the amount of lettuce, pickles, mayo...etc) Love their milk shake, esp the pineapple flavor!! Friendly staff and the wait is never too long during lunch time.
User review by chocotiffy – I usually don't like to eat hamburgers but Peggy Sue's is an exception. The food isn't greasy and tastes fresh.
Great Veggie Burgers too! – Vegetarians, try the Hollywood Burger with a veggie pattie it's the best veggie burger around. And of course it's a meat lovers paradise with many variations on the classic burger. The atmosphere is fun. It's a great place to take the kids. Be sure to try there rootbeer floats and milkshakes they are so big they will satisfy two people! This is not McDonalds do not expect to be in and out in 5 min. Quality takes time. Check out there other restaurant Sanoma Chicken coop across the street it is delicious!
SLOOOOOWWWWW Service – I waited one hour, 15 minutes for a simple breakfast sandwich and a side of hash browns. Yes, they were busy, but not overwhelmingly so. I was flabbergasted. There was a line of about 12 people ahead of me, but hell, this is a BREAKFAST place. I've never waited anywhere for more than 30 minutes for breakfast. When it finally came, the food was good, but nothing extraordinary. For the price, it was worth it. But not worth going back to because of the wait.
Nostalgic! – What a great place to eat. The breakfast is awesome. The burgers are great. They even managed to make a gardenburger taste good! The specialty is definitely burgers, fries, and shakes. Try the chocolate shake and ask to add a fresh bananna. Heaven. I like the fact that you add your own condiments at the bar. Expect to hear your favortie 50's tunes while dining. This place has the 50's style down to a 't'. The owners are very hospitable and service is great. I tend to be very particular about my food and the way I feel it should be prepared. THey have always made my food EXACTLY the way I like it with NO problem. Peggy Sue's is one of my favorite places. I'd recommend this spot if you have family from out of town, on a date, or anytime.
Burgers,fries and a shake – The food is good. The service is efficient. The decor is fun. How can you go wrong in downtown SJ if you've got a burger craving? This place hits the spot.
great big burgers – The burgers were huge well worth the price, so if you're hungry and you're craving a burger this is the place to go.
burgers galore – All types of burgers. Fun friendly staff. Good service even on game days.

Sandy >Beauty > Brickhouse Retreat Salon & Day
10965 S State St, Sandy, UT | Directions 8407040.552022 -111.890787

Fabulous Brazilian Blowout - I love my hair again! – After another salon that I had scheduled an appointment with suddenly went out of business, I went on a search to find a great salon that could do my Brazilian Blowout QUICKLY as I had just had my hair cut/colored, and am leaving for a beach vacation in 4 days. I called around, and got various price quotes and recommendations.
I was blessed to find Lindsey and the Brickhouse Retreat Salon and Day Spa. I got my apppointment quickly, got excellent service in a wonderful environment, and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Plus, I love my hair again! Although not inexpensive, I felt their pricing was fair, and the quality is unmistakeable. I will DEFINITELY be going back, and will recommend Brickhouse to everyone looking for a quality salon. I will be trying other services there as well, as I like to reward excellent service with loyalty. Thank you Brickhouse, and Lindsey!
Body Treatments and Massage Heavenly! – I have been going to The Retreat for years to get massage, but recently I decided to try something new. I got a body wrap. If you have never tried one- you need to NOW! I had their Musclease wrap. HEAVENLY! Not only was i wrapped in heat, my aches taken away, I also received a mini facial and mini full body massage. I was reading some of the other reviews and kept seeing the same name- Amber. She is my therapist and was able to do my treatment as well. She is amazing and so is The Retreat!
Massage isa miracle cure! – My wife gave me a gift certificate for a massage at The Brick House Retreat- I was a little hesitant to go just because the few that i have had have been awful! The pressure is never any good and its always very choppy. I decided to give massage another try just so the gift certificate wouldn't go to waste. I was with a very petite therapist named Amber Vickrey- and at first I wasn't to excited just because she was so small- What could she really do.. ya know? Her consultation was amazing and very detailed- i was feeling a little better. Now once she got her hands on me i was impressed- the pressure was perfect- she found all the right spots! As young as she looked she has been doing massage since 2000 and her skills were definetly perfected. I will never go anywhere else or to anyone else except for Amber Vickrey at the Brick House Retreat. She is FANTASTIC! I felt like I had a new body and now I am going once a month and its worth every penny to not be in pain anymore. Not only was the service great but so was the staff- go to The Brick House Retreat and just disappear for an hour- I promise you won't regret it.
Heaven! – I have never been the type to get my hair done professionaly or get a massage or even a facial. But my husband sent me to the Retreat so i could just disappear and thats exactly w
So nice! – This is such a nice salon. I have been to alot of salons, but the brickhouse is the best! All of the stylists are very good. I really like Jesi and Rachel. It smells good, it feels good, and you leave looking amazing.
Best experience ever! Don't go anywhere else but The Retreat! – My cute boyfriend gave me a gift certificate to The Retreat and it was the best gift he has ever given me. The atmosphere was so amazing i was completely relaxed as soon as i walked in the door. My day consisted of a salt scrub body treatment , a 60 min massage, and a pedicure. My therapists name was Amber Vickrey- (she also did my scrub) i was a puddle of goo by the time she was done with me. My skin from the scrub was baby soft and glowing- they have this great maragita scub i recomend. The massage was the best I've ever had. She was very petite, but strong and very professional. The steamed towels on my feet at the end had to be one of the best things ever. But she had this presence of healing- i was in heaven! The pedicure was just as good- my feet felt like they needed to go out on the town- and thats exactly what i did that night- Chantal did my pedicure. She was so great with making sure i was comfortable at all times- Go to The Brick House Retreat!!! Go now! For every birthday, christmas, anniversary etc. thats all i want is a gift certificate there! 5 stars
Worth the wait! – Im an avid goer to The Brick House Retreat- and ive noticed lately if i don't rebook for my next apt sometimes its almost impossible to get in! Which is great because i know The Retreat has the best of the best service providers- but bad for me when i don't rebook :( So all i can say is rebook before you leave each and every service provider is in high demand there because they are the best!!!!
Pampering at its best! – I have experienced just about every service that The Brick House has to offer, and I love it! They really seek out talented professionals... I have never been disappointed when going for a manicure, pedicure, hair appointment or waxing. And if you go, choose the cucumber ice water when they offer it. It sounds odd, but it tastes great!
Amazing – Wow, I bought a gift certificate for my sweetheart and not only did she come home completely relaxed and looking stunning, but she showed me just how much she appreciated her experience there over and over and over!! This was by far the best gift I have ever given her! Her response was so dramatic that I decided to give it a try myself. So we had the couples massage and spa package, and all I can say is... well you should just see for yourself. You won't regret it!
Incongruously located just south of the Auto Mall is a full-service salon and day spa offering a myriad of stress-relieving treatments. – The Scene
Shared by both spa and salon clients, the waiting lounge is a fairly busy place. You'll be offered a beverage while you wait; high ceilings, subdued lighting and sage-colored walls are intended to create a calming atmosphere. Down a quiet corridor are the massage rooms, each just large enough for a massage table, a counter and hooks and a chair for clothing. Aromatherapy and a flickering candle help you to forget your surroundings.
The Services
Clients select from facials, manicures and pedicures, body treatments and massages. Facials, including microdermabrasion, are customized to a woman's skin type, while the gentleman's facial and manicure are designed with a man's skin and nails in mind. Mud wraps, herbal infusion wraps and seaweed body treatments are great stress relievers. In addition to special facilities for maternity and couples massages, Swedish, deep tissue and hot and chilled stone massages provide a range of options. When your feet require special attention, try the 80-minute pedicure: A three-step massage followed by a mud mask, healing oils, moisturizer and polish.
The Details
Soaking tub. Massage, body treatments, facials, hair removal, manicure/pedicure, full-service salon, makeup application.

Ideas for Table Settings - Naturals
For my second of the two table setting projects, I've chosen a natural theme, featuring lively accent colours and heavily scented items by way of using fruit, flowers and herbs.
Even the table mats are organic - natural raffia weave, and combined with the glasses, ceramic crockery and the cutlery, I don't think there's a single man made material in sight!
All accessories are my own, some were left overs from Christmas, such as the fruit and the sweetheart roses.
The Raffia around the napkins I normally use for wrapping around gifts.
The glass tea light holders are simply souffle ramekins. You could also use egg cups, saucers and jam jars.
The herbs are from my garden.
What do you think ?

http://l.yimg.com/os/en/blogs/sptusn.../165109538.jpgHis immigration issues resolved, Jarome Iginla arrived in Pittsburgh late Friday night to officially join his new team. The expectations were that hed debut with the Penguins on Tuesday, after some time to ease his adjustment.
Instead, Iginla wanted to dive into his first game on Saturday afternoon, without a practice as a Penguin.
The closest thing to it is like my first game. Literally all the way back to when I was 18, and youre trying to stay calm, he said after the Pens blanked the New York Islanders, 2-0, to win their 14th straight game . I had an afternoon game that game too.
Iginla skated 17:30 in his debut and was a plus-1, taking three shots and missing on another. He had two hits.
In the first, youre trying to adjust and be good, he said.
Once you get on the ice, it gets more normal. But it was about halfway through until it felt normal.
Heres Iginla on his debut:
He skated with Evgeni Malkin and James Neal in his debut. Said Neal, via the Penguins:
You cant say enough about him, Neal said. He was a guy I watched when I was growing up and now Im sitting beside him in the locker room and playing with him. So talking to him a lot out there, hes going to get used to our systems and hes going to be a huge help to us.It was the first time Iginla had appeared in an NHL sweater that didnt belong to the Calgary Flames.
It was different. It was exciting. It was hard to calm the excitement and the nerves," he said.
