The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — Earlier this month, I saw an Associated Press article by Sue Manning on the subject of medical marijuana for pets. I was curious. With online research I could only find her article regurgitated by all the other news outlets.
Manning reported on Dr. Doug Kramer of vetguru.com. Under the press section of his website it offers 22 media reports on his "extraordinary work," including fine media resources such as The 420 Radio Show, Perez Hilton and Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report."
I do not want to dismiss the fact that medical marijuana could have positive benefits to your ailing pets. However, humans compared to other animals, react differently to drugs and further medical, peer-reviewed research should be done on the topic.
Kramer does have a do-it-yourself book titled "Sweet Serenity" on how to administer medical marijuana to your pets. The book did make me wonder, is this even legal?
The quick answer is no.
The use of medical marijuana for pets is illegal in all states, said Dr. Ahna Brutlag, the assistant director of Veterinary Services from the Pet Poison Helpline. Brutlag is a veterinarian specializing in small animal clinical toxicology. In addition to having a doctor of veterinary medicine degree, she also has earned a master's of science in toxicology and is a board-certified Diplomate of the American Board of Toxicology.
Brutlag also warns of the possibility of overdosing.
"Thankfully, marijuana has what's referred to as a 'wide margin of safety.' This means that the therapeutic dose (dose used to treat disease) is very far below the toxic dose. This is a good thing because it means that small overdoses are unlikely to result in severe poisoning or death." Brutlag said.
Dr. Eric Barchas, a full-time emergency veterinarian serving the San Francisco Bay area, says that in his experience most dogs did not react well to marijuana and very often required hospitalization and treatment to prevent dehydration and other complications.
Given that medical marijuana for pets is not currently legal, partly due to insufficient data, there are no published effects of the drug. The Pet Poison Helpline has received many calls about marijuana exposure in pets. Most of the calls dealt with dogs. Symptoms included things that you could also find in people. Dogs were seen to be dazed, generalized weakness, incoordination and vomiting. Less common effects were dribbling of urine, becoming agitated, hyperactive, and changes in heart rate and body temperatures.
"Marijuana may help with pain relief, appetite stimulation, inflammation and more," Brutlag said. "Some veterinarians may recommend it in very ill dogs to help them just 'feel better.' However, we currently have many other medications which can also help with these same problems."
Jessica LeRoux, owner of Twirling Hippy Confections, a Colorado-based licensed manufacturer of cannabis-infused gourmet snacks for humans, said she experienced firsthand the positive effects pot can have on canines. While the company doesn't make these products for pets commercially she has experimented on her own service dog that became weak in the legs and had difficulty walking, going up stairs and into the car as he aged. LeRoux says that the cannabis maximized his mobility and comfort.
LeRoux said she is neither a veterinarian nor a biologist, but has many years of using medical marijuana to help human patients. She has been baking medicated cheesecakes, among other specialties, for hospice patients since 1993 and for her own dogs since 2001.
She believes that dogs, like humans, are born with an endocannabinoid system which operates with the same chemicals found in the THC molecule to promote health and wellbeing. She has also seen favorable responses in pets that had a fear of thunder and lightning, separation anxiety or pain due to stitches or broken bones that received a small dose of medical cannabis. LeRoux does emphasize keeping activated charcoal pills on hand for potential overdoses of cannabis medicines or other toxic substances.
Barchas doesn't recommend medical marijuana for pets at this time, primarily because it is illegal.
"Also, there has been insufficient study of the matter, and products have such varying potencies, that determining an appropriate dose is almost impossible."
Lastly he added that because many dogs do not react favorably to the medication he worries that the benefits of the product might not outweigh the risk of an adverse response.
As we learn more about medical marijuana, Brutlag and Barchas, said it is extremely important that pet owners don't take this information as an excuse to self-medicate our critter companions. Not only would such action be illegal, it is not in the best interest of the pet.

Fucking right.
Tmfreak: Artists
make money from albums: the record deal advance they receive is basically cash for future sales of their albums. The record company claw some of it back by taking a larger cut of the ensuing royalties in the early stages of an album's release to guard against poor sales and not breaking even. Once the break even point is met, the royalties then begin to flow to the band (less the label's cut, of course).
But you are correct in saying that the money that generally sustains a band derives from merchandise bought at shows - although most bands struggle to break even from tours once sustenance and essentials are paid for.

John Burbine is expected to go to trial in December to face 100 counts involving the sexual abuse of children, according to the office of Middlesex District Attorney Gerard Leone.
A spokeswoman for the DA's office reported that a tentative trial date of Dec. 10 has been set for Burbine. His next court proceeding is April 13, when his attorney, John Barabino of Wakefield, is expected to file a motion to dismiss. Burbine pleaded not guilty last month to more than 100 charges involving the sex abuse of children, one of whom was as young as 8 days old.
At least one of Burbine's alleged victims is from Newton.
A separate Boston Herald article quoted Barabino outside Woburn Superior Courthouse Tuesday morning as saying the motion to dismiss is an "administrative" procedure and that the defense is in "the early stages of a long process."
The previous quote about a motion to dismiss being a routine and expected legal matter is consistent with remarks made last month outside of the same courthouse by John Ruehrwein, the attorney for Marian Burbine at her own court appearance. John Burbine's wife is facing six counts of reckless endangerment of a child for operating an illegal day care/tutoring business, the Waterfall Education Center, despite her husband's background at the time as a Level 1 sex offender.
Marian Burbine's next court action is on Feb. 13, when Ruehrwein is expected to file the motion to dismiss. She remains under home confinement in Wakefield.

New Castle News
Most young girls dream of a birthday filled with presents.
Carmen Medvit of Shenango Township isn't like most girls.
For the past two years, Medvit has forgone receiving gifts for her July 28 birthday and instead asked friends and family for donations to a charity of her choice.
Last year when her father, James, was diagnosed with cancer, Carmen chose the American Cancer Society. This year, her inspiration came locally.
"I got the idea from a neighbor," Carmen said. "They were doing something like this, and I decided I wanted to do it too."
Setting her sights on a $300 goal for the Lawrence County-based chapter, Carmen celebrated in style with a birthday centered on the organization — graham cracker house building included.
The celebrations continued into Saturday, with Carmen being invited to give the honorary first swing during the organization's first charity golf outing.
Arriving at the Mohawk Trails Golf Course for 8:30 a.m., Carmen was the guest of honor, receiving high praise from those involved with Habitat.
"She's a fine example and a leader of giving back to the community," Sheree Cunningham, executive director of Lawrence County Habitat for Hummanity said. "It's an off-the-chart, awesome example for us to follow. It's a wonderful story that people need to hear."
Though Carmen is remaining tight-lipped about her total until it is revealed at the organization's board of directors meeting tomrrow, her mother Lottie said that she more than doubled her expectations.
"We're really surprised, happy and proud that she wanted to help other people," Lottie Medvit said. "She gets really excited about it."
That excitement carried into Saturday with Carmen beaming when telling of her future birthday plans. Inspired by her brother's military aspirations, she hopes to raise money for injured veterans or the Officer Jerry McCarthy scholarship fund.
"I'll probably do it again next year," she said. "I'd tell other kids to do this, too."
Other kids may already be taking note. According to her mother, a few of Carmen's friends already followed her example by giving up their birthday presents for charity as well.

Vincent K. Tuohy, PhD, the Mort and Iris November Distinguished Chair in Innovative Breast Cancer Research
Researchers at Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute found that a single vaccination could prevent breast tumors from occurring in mice genetically bred to develop breast cancer, while also inhibiting the growth of already existing breast tumors. The research was originally published in Nature Medicine in 2010.
Cleveland Clinic Innovations has created a spin-off company to develop a preventive breast cancer vaccine based on research from Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute.
The new company, Shield Biotech, will complete preclinical development and seek permission from the FDA to test the vaccine as an investigational new drug in proof-of-concept, first-in-human clinical trials.
Phase I trials are expected to start within two years and will take about three years to complete.
The first (Phase Ia) trial will involve women with triple-negative breast cancer who have recovered from current standard of care involving chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and/or surgery. This trial will determine the dose and frequency of vaccination needed to provide an optimum immune response. The second (Phase Ib) trial will involve healthy cancer-free women at high risk for developing breast cancer who have decided to undergo voluntary bilateral mastectomy to lower their risk. This trial will focus on the safety of the vaccine by examining the removed breast tissue for any potential changes.
These trials are designed to establish the safety of the vaccine in women and to characterize and optimize the immune response. How can a patient enroll in the clinical trials?
Patients are not being enrolled yet, and the trials won't begin until 2015. To stay updated on information on the clinical trial, please continue visiting this web site and for information on other breast cancer trials visit the NIH's www.clinicaltrials.gov

FOR COMPARISON'S SAKE: UT'S, OSU'S NCAA trouble filled with more differences than similarities
Click here to follow me on Twitter.
This is going to be tough to do, but I'm going to give it my best shot.
Comparing NCAA cases are never a good idea for various reasons. For one, no two cases are ever completely alike, even if they do have similar transgressions. And another, the NCAA, as has been displayed over the past couple of years, never really acts in a predictable fashion.
So there's that.
But hey, it's late April and the Vols won't be practicing for a few months. So let's give it our best shot. And let's do it with bullet points.
(For reference: OSU's Notice of Allegations. UT's Notice of Allegations.)
***There's been a lot of talk/anger from UT fans about the apparent "fast track" OSU has received in regards to the NCAA working swiftly with the Buckeyes compared to the long, drawn-out process UT underwent.
I'm not buying it. And here's why.
Just look at the number of pages in those documents. OSU's is eight pages. UT's is 26. That illustrates a lot of things, namely that the NCAA had to do a lot more legwork when putting together the Vols' notice. Multiple sports were involved and there was a significant amount of information the NCAA gathered that hadn't already been reported. And don't forget: The NCAA was looking into the UT baseball program as well. OSU's, meanwhile, doesn't have much new information. It's still loaded with NCAA jargon, but the report is relatively concise.
Like UT, with its summer hearing that likely won't result in a decision until August or September, OSU isn't exactly getting any favors with its hearing scheduled for August, especially when you consider that, as of now, the Buckeyes are looking to keep the man at the center of this investigation, Jim Tressel.
Which leads me to my next point...
***Though harsh in both notices of allegations, I think the language directed at Tressel is significantly stronger than what Bruce Pearl received in UT's notice.
The NCAA writes that Tressel didn't act with the "honesty" and "integrity" it expects from head coaches before detailing just how many times he had a chance to right his wrongs and report what he knew to the NCAA or his compliance office. He didn't until this all blew up in his and OSU's face. The NCAA isn't speaking to OSU or more than one person. It's saying this directly to Tressel. There's no "failure to monitor" charge against the institution or a staff of assistants that is also receiving part of the blame. This is on the head coach, and the head coach only.
Pearl, of course, was at the forefront of UT's issues and ultimately paid the price. But even though he was mentioned in all 10 major violations associated with the men's basketball program, he wasn't singled out like this.
***Though Tressel remains the coach at OSU, UT will still likely receive more punishments geared at inhibiting the future of the program rather than punishments that diminish the program's history.
The reason is simple: UT has a failure to monitor charge -- albeit one that centers on monitoring telephone calls, not its entire athletic department. Ohio State currently does not, though it is dealing with potential "repeat offender" status.
That said, Tressel knowingly played players who were ineligible, all but guaranteeing that the 2010 Buckeyes season will go down as officially not happening. UT's violations never involved ineligible players seeing the field, therefore, there's no reason to wipe out any of Pearl's seasons.
But that leads into an interesting debate that's spawned from this whole ordeal...
***What's worse? Having your coach commit the violations, originally lie about them and then come clean? Or having players commit violations, the coach extensively covers them up and then finally comes (sort of) clean?
I lean toward the latter, but I don't think it matters much. Tressel, at some point, will receive the same fate as Pearl. There's no way he can survive this.
***How UT is punished for its football violations could serve as a precedent when OSU goes to its Committee on Infractions hearing, given that Tressel is already gone by then.
Call it the Lane Kiffin treatment.
If Tressel isn't gone, UT fans will get to see just how much of a risk it would have been if Pearl was still a member of the program during its hearing.
From my understanding, UT was in a position to face harsh penalties if Pearl wasn't gone before the hearing. I imagine the same goes for Ohio State.
It's just a matter of when the same little birdies who got in Mike Hamilton's and Jimmy Cheek's ears shortly before Pearl was fired work their way to Columbus and chirp at Gene Smith and Gordon Gee.
As long as Tressel is canned, and the 2010 season is vacated, I have no issues at all, with the fairness of the NCAA.
The punishments would eliminate tOSU's one bowl victory over an SEC team.
If Tressel survives, there is no justice in the world, and ESPN really did cost Peyton the Heisman. How's that for logic?

The finish is long, bright and balanced.
2008 Amarone Classico Corte Bra, Sartori(6x75cl)
Ruby in colour; ripe fruit aromas, with notes of blackcurrant, raspberry, and dried herbs; full bodied on the palate with rich fruit flavours, bright acidity, and a lingering finish.
2012 Pinot Blanc, Trimbach(12x37.5cl)
This classic Pinot Blanc really encapsulates the Trimbach style: fermented completely dry, with a firm structure, lovely lemony fruit with lots of breadth, a minerally backbone and a truly elegant poise and balance.
2013 Bacchus, Kenton Vineyard(6x75cl)
Made 100% from Bacchus grapes grown at the vineyard, this is a highly aromatic, slightly off dry wine with classic Bacchus elderflower notes.
2013 Riesling, Skillogalee(6x75cl)
Mid straw in colour. On the nose there are lively fresh lime aromas with a touch of perfumed aromatics. The palate has intense citrus fruit flavours balanced by a refreshing acidity giving a crisp, dry, lingering finish.
NV DADD Brut, d'Arenberg(6x75cl)
The bouquet has touches of granny smith apples and brioche with hints of grilled nuts. It has a fine bead with a creamy and vibrant mousse. The palate is dry, delicate and balanced with fresh oyster shell and lemon like acidity. There is a distinct grapefruit pith character which is long and mineral that rounds out the complex palate. The creamy chardonnay character on the palate adds richness and polish. The taste grows considerably with great minerality and complexity with poise and focus.
2013 Estate Pinot Noir, Humberto Canale Patagonia(6x75cl)
This wine has an attractive garnet colour. On the nose there are notes of spice and candied fruit with nuances of fresh red berries such as strawberries and cherries. Its ageing in oak is emphasised with a smoky vanilla aroma. In the mouth, it is delicate in body, with soft tannins and ripe red fruit flavour and a long persistent finish.
2013 Ixsir Grande Reserve White(6x75cl)
Pure golden hue. Enticing white flowers, peach and citrus fruits on the nose. Equilibrium between mellowness and liveliness on the palate which leads into a long finish with classy oak notes.
2011 The Feral Fox Pinot Noir, d'Arenberg(6x75cl)
Earthy tones of wild mushroom and truffles are wonderfully countered with lovely, fresh, aromatic notes of musk and flowers, raspberry and kirsch. The palate is fine and balanced, driven forward by a lively line of vibrant acid and ending with that familiar d'Arenberg fine, gritty tannin.
2010 The Love Grass Shiraz, d'Arenberg(6x75cl)
The wine displays a mix of fruit and spice, a result of the myriad of minor varieties that cling to the bones of the Shiraz and draw it in all sorts of different directions.
Fresh and lively, black and red fruits, pepper, clove and cinnamon.
The palate, whilst showing the poise and focus common amongst the 2011's, develops its richness in the glass.
Ensure you take a moment to savour this wine and watch its complex mix of fruits evolve from tight and linear at first to rich, dark and exotic.

It's Summer and outdoor cooking season is in full swing. Although there are many people, me included that grill year-round, I thought a thread dedicated to the season would be nice.
Lets have your tips, recipes and methods for oudoor cooking.
I use a natural gas grill and a Big Green Egg cooker. The gas grill is a Ducane that is quick-connected into a line that is on my patio. I mainly use it if I need to grill something quick or if I am doing a large quantity of food. The Green Egg is my main cooker for smoking and grilling.
My main tips are that you keep your equipment clean and that you NEVER use lighter fluid for ANY outdoor cooking. It will leave a funky taste. Use one of these for regular charcol: Chimney starter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I only use natural charcol and I use this to start it: Amazon.com: Big Green Egg Electric Starter: Patio, Lawn & Garden
I'm looking at getting one of these, except that it's expensive: Amazon.com: Looftlighter Fire Lighting Tool: Patio, Lawn & Garden

Smirnov, O. and de Gasperin, F. and Orrú, E. and Murgia, M. and Merloni, A. and Falcke, H. and Beck, R. and Beswick, R. and Bîrzan, L. and Bonafede, A. and Brüggen, M. (2012) M 87 at metre wavelengths: the LOFAR picture. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 547 (A56). ISSN 0004-6361; 1432-0746 (e)
Official URL: http://www.aanda.org/index.php?option=com_article&...
Context.M 87 is a giant elliptical galaxy located in the centre of the Virgo cluster, which harbours a supermassive black hole of mass 6.4 × 109 M⊙, whose activity is responsible for the extended (80 kpc) radio lobes that surround the galaxy. The energy generated by matter falling onto the central black hole is ejected and transferred to the intra-cluster medium via a relativistic jet and morphologically complex systems of buoyant bubbles, which rise towards the edges of the extended halo. Aims. To place constraints on past activity cycles of the active nucleus, images of M 87 were produced at low radio frequencies never explored before at these high spatial resolution and dynamic range. To disentangle different synchrotron models and place constraints on source magnetic field, age and energetics, we also performed a detailed spectral analysis of M 87 extended radio-halo. Methods. We present the first observations made with the new Low-Frequency Array (LOFAR) of M 87 at frequencies down to 20 MHz. Three observations were conducted, at 15−30 MHz, 30−77 MHz and 116−162 MHz. We used these observations together with archival data to produce a low-frequency spectral index map and to perform a spectral analysis in the wide frequency range 30 MHz–10 GHz. Results. We do not find any sign of new extended emissions; on the contrary the source appears well confined by the high pressure of the intra-cluster medium. A continuous injection of relativistic electrons is the model that best fits our data, and provides a scenario in which the lobes are still supplied by fresh relativistic particles from the active galactic nuclei. We suggest that the discrepancy between the low-frequency radio-spectral slope in the core and in the halo implies a strong adiabatic expansion of the plasma as soon as it leaves the core area. The extended halo has an equipartition magnetic field strength of ≃10 μG, which increases to ≃13 μG in the zones where the particle flows are more active. The continuous injection model for synchrotron ageing provides an age for the halo of ≃40 Myr, which in turn provides a jet kinetic power of 6−10 × 1044 erg s-1.

Last year, Cuyahoga Falls and Stow city officials asked the Ohio Department of Transportation to call off the . This past December, ODOT ruled that the plan was moving forward.
On Wednesday night at , the proposed next steps were laid out by Arcadis design engineer Shane Gault.
Gault said the project was given the green light due to a lack of safety and an abundance of traffic congestion, and offered facts, figures, graphs and matrices to back up his assertions.
Here's the breakdown:
- Graham Road is ill-equipped to handle the 20,000-30,000 cars and trucks that motor up and down the corridor each day, he said.
- The high wait times and long delays at traffic lights cause unneeded congestion.
- The traffic lights themselves aren't networked together and cannot properly circulate the flow of traffic.
- The turn lanes are too short and the driving lanes too narrow.
- 40 percent of accidents are a result of rear-end crashes, which indicates congestion.
- A recent study found that out of 283 accidents on Graham Road, 76 were injury or fatality related.
- Driveways are poorly configured and create blind spots, and the pavement is deteriorating in certain places.
To fix these problems, Arcadis put together a study comprised of options that could be tailored to the sections of road where construction will take place, he said.
Under these various options, the road would be widened by six feet, turn lanes would be extended and traffic lights would be reconstructed and networked to cut down on congestion.
The construction that would affect the , located on the north side of Graham Road, once again came under scrutiny.
According to business owner Susan Krieger Kraus, the planned six-foot widening to the north side of Graham Road would cut out about half of the Krieger's parking lot and constrict traffic movement.
"We've received over 7,700 signatures from Krieger customers and supporters who strongly oppose (the widening)," said Kraus during the comments section of the meeting.
Residents from both communities also stood and sided with Krieger's, including Cuyahoga Falls Ward 5 City Councilwoman Diana Colavecchio.
Colavecchio said she's followed the program since its inception, is pleased with the cooperation among the two cities and ODOT, but disagreed with the proposed widening between East Bath Road and Wyoga Lake Road, saying it was unnecessary.
City leaders and ODOT said they will take the concerns under advisement, and Kraus said she hopes that a resolution can be reached soon to avoid a potential legal battle.
ODOT puts the total construction costs at $4.3 million. Federal funds will take care of all but $700,000. The remainder will be split between Cuyahoga Falls and Stow.
According to the proposed project plans, temporary lane closures will be required, but one lane in each direction will remain open at all times. Access to all residences and businesses will also be maintained.
The construction is scheduled to begin by next winter.

DANVERS -- Few outside of the Gloucester girls basketball team's locker room ever believed the Fishermen would have been in the position they were in last night.
After sitting at 6-10 with four regular-season games to play, Gloucester had turned it on, rattling off four consecutive wins to earn punch its ticket to the Division 2 North tournament in dramatic fashion.
When the No. 12 Fishermen met No. 5 Danvers for the third time this season in the opening round of the tournament last night, though, their late-season magic wasn't there anymore.
Despite leading by one point at halftime, the Fishermen struggled from the field and struggled with uncharacteristic defensive lapses in the second half and Danvers pulled away, advancing to the Division 2 North quarterfinals with a 50-42 victory at Danvers High School.
"No one thought they'd be here to begin with," Gloucester coach Brandon Lewis said. "I don't say that out of malice, I just say that out of the reality of the situation. We weren't supposed to make the tournament being 6-10, so the fact that we were here was amazing. Would I have liked to have left with a win? Yeah, absolutely, but I thought we had them on the ropes. We just lost our way a little there.
"Offensively, we had a tough time getting baskets, but that's been us all year, but defensively I just thought we made some silly mistakes and they ended up costing us."
Gloucester found itself in an excellent spot coming out of halftime. After sophomore guard Kayla Nasser caught fire and notched eight points in the second quarter to help the Fishermen build up a one-point halftime lead.
But with senior point guard Katie Ciaramitaro struggling with foul trouble -- she picked up her third foul at the end of the second quarter and her fourth at the end of the third -- the Fishermen struggled to maintain their generally stingy defensive identity.

Kid's Zone is geared for children in kindergarten through 5th grade and is held concurrently with the main worship service. We use A Joyful Path as our main curriculum, breaking from it occasionally for seasonal and/or special activities. A Joyful Path is a spiritual curriculum for young hearts and minds published by The Center For Progressive Christianity and has become known as "Sunday School lessons for which no apology is necessary." This is a dynamic program filled with multicultural folktales, Bible stories, affirmations, activities, and nature activities.
Sunday School runs from 9:30 to 10:15 every Sunday morning throughout the school year and is open to children of all ages. Here we focus on the heroes and stories of our faith. We are currently using Spark Rotation published by Augsburg Fortress to shape our class time. We usually spend 4 to 6 weeks learning a story or Bible character through a variety of ways. Art, games, video, cooking, drama, music, and science are some of the rotational workshops that we use from class to class.

Advice to Senior Management – Include more employee engagement initiatives
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
Pros – You get to learn the nuances of sales and be an all round recruiter (who could seamlessly manage clients and candidates) in a short period of time
You get to have a very strong training phase, which strengthens your fundamentals and approach before you get into hiring mode
Cons – still in a start up stage !!
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"A lot of learning, new information, teamwork"
Pros – Teamwork, experienced company with very well thought out procedures, very professional
Cons – Sometimes too much emphasis on bureaucracy can slow things down, both for employees and clients.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"horrible company to work for, just focused on billing with no attention towards quality."
Pros – - international environment
- nice colleagues
Cons – - no attention towards quality
- focus just on cold calling and sending randomly CV's to clients
- low salaries
it's a place where there is nothing to learn/gain, you just stress yourself out.
Advice to Senior Management – to focus on delivering a good and honest service to the clients and on treating better their employees who are not just robots/slaves who have to remain attached to the phone 8 hours per day. It should a recruitment agency and not a call center.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company
"Great Company"
Pros – Working Hours good and the employees are friendly.
Cons – None to speak of at the moment.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company
"It is really exciting to work in an international company with a very good team!"

New challenges;
Contacts with people all around the world.
Cons – This business in Bulgaria is not well developed yet.
Advice to Senior Management – Be open for discussions and advice, that makes a good team.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
"Worst company to do an internship"
Pros – Only a good company to do an internship if you already have min. 1 year experience in a HR recruitment consulting company because superiors dont have time or want to show you anything.
Cons – Collegues only focused on billing, low ethlical and humane level in the company which goes up to country manager level. Methods of the company are unethical.
Bosses never have time to train you and expect you to know everything from the begining. If you dont give results from the beginning you risk being psychologically mistreated by management.
Superiors never give you feedback unless its negative and even that feedback is only given when they fire you.
Company pride themselves in being honest and straight forward but in this case it translates to grave disrespect towards stakeholders.
Advice to Senior Management – Dont take an intern if you wont have time to train them.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Two juveniles have been charged with burglarizing three unlocked cars in Palatine.
Police said a witness in the 600 block of West Dorset called 9-1-1 at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 22 to report that he saw juveniles running from a vehicle. The vehicle's car alarm was going off.
The witness provided police a description of a vehicle the youths left in, a black Volvo SUV. Police said that an hour later an officer spotted the vehicle parked at a fast food restaurant in the 200 block of W. Northwest Highway.
As the officer approached the vehicle, the juveniles exited the vehicle and fled into a wooded area. Police said that a perimeter was set up and a canine unit called. The juveniles were caught in the 500 block of W. Colfax St.
The juveniles, a 14-year-old from Palatine and a 16-year-old from Hoffman Estates, admitted to trying to gain access to the vehicle on West Dorset. The youths also admitted to entering a 2008 Hyundai in the 1600 block of N. Edgewater Drive and a 2004 Jeep and 2000 Toyota which were parked in the 1300 block of N. Portage Avenue.
Police said they recovered an iPod, radar detector and cash.
The 14-year-old juvenile will be petitioned to Juvenile Court on three counts of burglary to motor vehicle and one count of possession of cannabis. The 16-year-old will go to Juvenile Court on two counts of burglary to motor vehicle, possession of cannabis and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Praise for Sharyn McCrumb and her New York Times Bestselling Ballad Novels:
"Ms. McCrumb writes with quiet fire and maybe a little mountain magic....She plucks the mysteries from people's lives and works these dark narrative threads into Appalachian legends older than the hills. Like every true storyteller, she has the Sight." —The New York Times Book Review
"There are few writers today who are able to blend past and present, tradition and law, legends and headlines in a wholly credible fashion—Tony Hillerman springs inevitably to mind. Sharyn McCrumb is another; her widely acclaimed Ballad series is one of the finest being written today."—Bookpage
"McCrumb provides fresh evidence that there is no one quite like her among present-day writers. No one better, either." —The San Diego Union-Tribune
"From snippets of rural life, scraps of memories, and fragments of tragedy, [McCrumb] has stitched together a vivid American heirloom." —Newsday
"Mesmerizing beauty and power." —Richmond Times-Dispatch"True to the language and culture of its time and place...the Ballad series could be headed for bestsellerdom." —Library Journal"Flat-out brilliant and transcendent. Simply put, novels don't come any better than this." —Martin Clark, author of The Legal Limit
"Being a McCrumb novel, The Devil Amongst the Lawyers brims with compelling characters who are passionate, flawed, and unforgettable." —Rapid River Arts & Culture Magazine
"With fluid writing and sensitive telling, McCrumb presents her Appalachian series as perfectly as dogwood in the spring." —Houston Chronicle
"What a voice this writer has. She is superb at telling tales as sweet as wild honey and as special as the changing colors of the leaves." —The Washington TimesPraise for The Ballad of Tom Dooley:
"Ms. McCrumb may have written the Americana historical thriller of the year." —Midwest Book ReviewPraise for The Devil Amongst the Lawyers:"The old families who live in proud seclusion up in these hills produce a number of wise souls whose voices are pure poetry." —The New York Times Book Review
SHARYN MCCRUMB is the New York Times bestselling author of The Ballad of Tom Dooley and other acclaimed Ballad novels. Her books have been named Notable Books of the Year by The New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. She lives and writes in the Virginia Blue Ridge, less than a hundred miles from where her family—kinsmen of the Seviers—settled in 1790.

Local Teachers
When a student begins to learn English they are not ready to listen to an English person, they cannot understand the native speaker yet. It is better for a beginner to start with a local teacher, someone that can speak their own language. For beginners and elementary students we suggest that they study with a local teacher and when they are ready to progress they can start to study with a native speaker so that they can improve their pronunciation and understanding of the idiosyncratic nature of the English language.
If there is a flag for your local language at the top right of the page then you should contact your area administrator to arrange a teacher that speaks that language. If there is not a flag for you language then you should send an email, in English, to the Dean. We have teachers in most countries that can help and we can arrange for teachers in many other countries..

After Dr Who
Tom as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC production of The Hound of the Baskervilles.
More Photos >
In 1981, Tom left Dr Who, but was so identified with the Doctor that he was not easy to cast in other roles. Having been very very busy, life became quieter for a time although Tom was still in demand for voiceovers and commentaries. He also returned to the stage where his career as an actor had started.
Immediately after leaving Dr Who, Tom played Oscar Wilde again in Feasting with Panthers at the Chichester Festival Theatre. In 1982, he played Judge Brack in Hedda Gabler with Susannah York as Hedda in the West End. That year also saw him in a new television role – Sherlock Holmes in The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Still living in London, Tom rekindled his relationship with Sue Jerrard whom he'd met in 1977 when she was an Assistant Film Editor on Horror at Fang Rock in the fourth series of Tom's Dr Who.

Then came an offer from the Royal Shakespeare Company to play Frank in Educating Rita on tour. Playing Dr Frank Bryant, the cynical, alcoholic Open University tutor stirred by the vitality and enthusiasm of Rita, played by Kate Fitzgerald, turned out to be one of Tom's favourite roles. The tour was a great success and the two packed theatres from Inverness to Plymouth. In 1984, Tom returned to the National Theatre to play Mr Hardcastle in She Stoops to Conquer in the Olivier Theatre and on tour, and the following year went to the Gate Theatre in Dublin to play both Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty in The Mask of Moriarty by Hugh Leonard.
By then, Tom and Sue had decided to set up home together and purchased The Bell House, a converted Victorian school in Kent near to the ITV company, TVS, where Sue was a Producer/Director.
No longer seen in the Colony Room and Chelsea pubs, Tom bought a gravestone in the graveyard next to The Bell House, had his name engraved on it and kept the grass mown. He and Sue began to develop their love of the countryside and Burmese cats integral to their lives ever since. Tom and Sue married on 1st April 1986 at Maidstone Register Office - the reason for choosing April Fools' Day being that no-one else would want to get married that day – and they were right!

The cats greet Tom as he returns home. More Photos >
There was still a tendency to cast Tom as strange, eccentric characters: the sea captain in Blackadder and Father Ferguson in The Life and Loves of a She Devil. In 1990 his Dr Who curls became the long dreadlocks of Puddleglum the Marshwiggle in the BBC's production of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Silver Chair. He continued to be in demand for voiceovers in television and radio advertising.

Name: Wayne Powell
City of residence: Manhattan Beach
Occupation: Mayor
How long have you lived in MB? 17 years
What are some things that you like about MB? Everything, but especially our wonderful residents who make Manhattan Beach the community we all love. And, of course, the scenic beauty of our magnificent neighborhoods and our beach.
What don't you like about MB? What's not to like about Manhattan Beach. That said, I don't like politics in local Manhattan Beach decision-making. I'm a longtime community volunteer, not a politician. We should solve all of our Manhattan Beach challenges with open and inclusive public solutions that benefit our community, without regard to politicking.
What will you do on Thanksgiving and whom will you be with? I will start the day reflecting on how to make Manhattan Beach an even better place for our community and improving the quality of life for all of our residents. Then I spent the day and evening with family and close friends.
What did your Thanksgiving meal consist of? Turkey, mashed potatoes with gravy, giblets, yams, cranberries and home-made pumpkin pie (with tons of extra creamy whipped cream).
What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Why? The pie, with all of the whipped cream. Okay, so there's a couple of special days a year that the Vitality Cities "Blue Zones" healthful living rules are temporarily suspended.
What is your favorite thing about Thanksgiving? Thanksgiving is the time of year to be thankful for the great city we live in, the wonderful people in our lives, and to help those less fortunate. This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful that I fought the Broad Beach (Malibu) folks who tried to take 500,000 cubic yards of Manhattan Beach offshore sand and forced them to withdraw their application with the California State Lands Commission. To each, a great Manhattan Beach!
What was your childhood Thanksgiving like? The entire family gathered, with my grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, family friends, and neighbors. Each of us would have to say what we were thankful for. I was thankful for the privilege of being with such great company.
What's your favorite hang out spot in MB? The Strand, the beach and the bike path. I see so many friends and meet a number of people, while taking in the splendid scenery.
How would you describe Manhattan Beach in three words? I ♥ MB

Back in the saddle, sort of
The strain of flu going through my family is pretty fast moving. After sneezing and hacking my way through yesterday, that has subsided significantly. I'm not sure but I may have gone through an entire family box of tissues. Some of that still lingers but nothing like yesterday. Twenty-four-hour bug? Anywho. Blog on.

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) - Millions of her TV fans watch her solve forensic mysteries on Dr. G: Medical Examiner. More than 7,000 autopsies have taught her that many deaths don't need to happen and there are things you can do to avoid going to the morgue early.
She's America's best known medical examiner: Dr. G. Each week she brings stories from the morgue to viewers on her hit show Dr. G: Medical Examiner. She said a lot of people argue that when death comes it's your time to die, but Dr. G. believes something else.
"Our choices really help determine our luck in living a long life," Dr. Jan Garavaglia, Dr. G: Medical Examiner, told Ivanhoe.
First up, where's the most common place to get sick?
"Unbelievably the most common place to get sick is in the hospital," Dr. G explained.
In fact 1.7 million people contract infections in hospitals each year and 300,000 of those come from a deadly diarrhea germ you've probably never heard of, C. diff. It kills 14,000 Americans each year and you can pick it up on surfaces like hand railings, pens, and even your doctor's clothes!
"You know doctors go from patient to patient, they wear the white coat, and they wear their tie. That can pick up germs that can pick up those spores" Dr. G. said.
Your best defense is as simple as hand washing, and not just yours but doctors and nurses as well.
"You can be obnoxious and ask them or make sure you see them. You got to try to make it out alive from the hospital. You don't want one of these infections to do you in," Dr. G. explained.
Next up, what is the number one thing you can do to cause your early death? It's smoking! Lighting up kills just under half a million people in the U.S. every year.
"That's more than auto accidents, that's more than HIV, that's more than all the murders combined," Dr. G. said.
Number three, what's the number one cause of death for vacationers? Is it drowning, accidental falls or heart attack?
"The number one cause of death for vacationers is going to be a heart attack," Dr. G. explained.
The reason is that you may do things out of the ordinary and stress yourself a little more.
"You don't want to spoil everybody's fun by complaining that you have a little bit of chest tightness or a little bit of shortness of breath," Dr. G. explained.
But ignoring your symptoms could be fatal.
"Thirty percent of people who die from heart disease don't know they have heart disease. Death is sometimes the very first symptom," Dr. G. said.
Number four, true or false: neat freaks live longer. The answer is true! Keeping your home clean could save your life. Among older adults, falls are the leading cause of death so watch out for messes.
"Clutter, little toys from their dogs, area rugs, all of those things are a danger," Dr. G. said.
Finally, what's your best strategy for staying out of the morgue? The answer is pay attention to your body.
"We see a lot of silent killers in the morgue. And these are not criminals, these are things that are going on inside of you," Dr. G. concluded.
They are things like heart disease, stroke and diabetes. By knowing your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose, Dr. G. insists you're well on your way to staying vertical.
Dr. G. said there are five ways to certify a death at the morgue. They are accident, suicide, natural and undetermined, but she believes we need one more: stupidity. With just a little extra thought, she says more people would stay out of the morgue and live longer lives.
DR. G: Jan Garavaglia, or Dr. G, is America's best-known medical examiner. Dr. G has been solving real cases for years on the popular Discovery Health series DR. G: MEDICAL EXAMINER. As chief medical examiner for the District Nine Medical Examiner's Office in Florida, Dr. G has performed thousands of autopsies ranging from the routine to the extraordinary. Her years on the job have taught her that many deaths don't need to happen; with just a bit of prevention, many trips to the morgue could be avoided.
HOW NOT TO DIE: Dr. G wrote How Not to Die because she realized that just as other doctors see ways to prevent illness, her forensic experience has made her able to see ways to prevent death. So she has turned "the table" by using death as a starting point to identify the ways we harm our bodies and to illustrate how the everyday choices we make are at the very root of how we live or die.

New Elementary School No. 7 finally has a name, but the process used to select it is now under fire.
Back-and-forth conversations over what to call the unfinished facility ended Monday when the Muscogee County School Board voted 7-2 to go along with rookie board member Athavia "A.J." Senior's recommendation of Dorothy Height -- the former president of the National Council of Negro Women.
Confusing everyone was Senior's original proposal of Samuel P. Charleston, a former principal of Carver High who for generations pushed for local black children to have the right to learn.
Only Senior truly understands her vacillation, but her colleagues followed a procedure adopted in 2006 that recognized the naming of a school stirs up serious community interest: "Whenever a school or School District facility is built in a given Board Member's district, that Board Member has the initial prerogative of proposing, by motion at a regular Board meeting, the name of the school or the facility. Once the motion is made, the motion is then, by the terms of this policy, tabled until the date of the next regular board meeting, at which time it shall be taken up for vote as with all other motions."
Once the vote was recorded, at-large member Cathy Williams called for a change and asked school board chairman Rob Varner to put the procedure on the agenda of a future meeting.
"We need to have more board input than just one board member," she said. "I also represent that school, and I have had no input."
Varner has asked for a report on how other systems name facilities. He will find this is a hot-button issue, whether it is choosing a name for an arena on a college campus or the naming of a walking bridge connecting two states.
Avaricious universities sometimes put a price tag on a name but local agencies often get bogged down in politics.
That happened in the school naming and may have contributed to the delay in naming the 14th Street walking bridge for former Mayor Frank K. Martin.
The link to Phenix City is due to get the late mayor's name Oct. 9 after a discussion that has taken almost as long as it took to finish the bridge.
Now that the school is named, Senior owes family and friends of Mr. Charleston a public apology. Hopefully a new policy would allow a private vetting so others will not be embarrassed.
Public participation should also be encouraged. If the consensus is to honor local contributors, be clear about that. Above all, be consistent.
It's time for this board to embrace the community and this would be one way to do that.
It's worth a try, for as Dorothy Height said: "I want to be remembered as one who tried."

HOUSTON – "Tiny Tim" is no ordinary cat. In fact, he isn't really tiny at all—he's super-sized.
The 35.4-pound feline was picked up by BARC in the 10400 block of Kirkwood before Christmas and taken to the city animal shelter.
So when volunteers with Friends of BARC heard about the colossal kitty, they felt like they had to step in on his behalf.
Tim Hebert, one of those volunteers, got Tiny Tim out of the shelter and into the Southside Place Animal Hospital, where he's been boarded ever since.
"He's just so fat," Hebert, who visits Tiny Tim every day at the animal hospital, said. "He's just huge. I can tell you and send you a picture, but until you see him and pick him up, you have no idea how big a 35-pound cat really is."
Hebert said he put signs all over the area where Tiny Tim was picked up and contacted all of the nearby veterinarians, but as of Tuesday, there was no word on where Tiny Tim might have come from.
"We have not heard back at all – at all – from anyone about this cat," Hebert said. "And he's a very unique cat, just the hugest one I have ever seen."
Dr. Alice Frei of the Southside Place Animal Hospital said Tiny Tim was not a stray.
"It's very unusual. This cat should weigh 12 pounds, and it weighs 35," Frei said. "There's no way a cat in this condition was living on the streets, so this cat had a very loving home."
Volunteers are hoping to locate Tiny Tim's owners, but if they can't find them, they're looking for a special adoptive or foster family.
Frei said that, because Tiny Tim is so obese, he's going to have to lose weight slowly and will require some medical care.
Frei said Tiny Tim does not have diabetes, and his lab work is "surprisingly good." But because of his weight, he already has arthritis—even though he's no more than 8 years old – and struggles with some mobility issues.
Still, it's something Frei thinks they can work on.
"The main thing is, we're lowering his calories and increasing his activities to see if we can get him to lose weight," Frei said.
So far, it appears to be working. Frei said Tiny Tim has lost half a pound since he arrived at the hospital … but they've got a long way to go.
"If he loses weight too quickly, he could go into liver failure, so you have to be extremely careful about how he trims down," Frei said.
Hebert and Frei said they just want a happy ending for the chubby kitty.
"We're all trying to pool our efforts, resources, ideas and prayers to see if we can save him. He's just a special cat," Hebert said.
"He's just as sweet as he can be, never hissed or shown any signs of aggression – he's just a remarkably sweet cat," Frei said. "This cat received a lot of attention, and somebody really loves this cat. I really hope they show up."
If you have any information on Tiny Tim's owners, or if you are interested in adopting him, contact Tim Hebert at firstname.lastname@example.com.
