Interns and internships seem to be everywhere these days.
About this time every summer I start to see a number of new faces on my daily commute into Boston on the train. The change is welcome - the faces are young and eager, and I know why they are here: they are part of the annual influx of summer interns, many of them back home from college and adding to the region's workforce for the next several weeks.
Meanwhile the funny guy duo of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson is back on the big screen for their take on the topic in "The Internship" in which they try out their talents at Google. Haven't seen it yet but a major studio release about internships means the topic is definitely making it into the national zeitgeist.
But the internship news of most interest to those of us in college career offices is the recent court decision concerning compensation for interns. As the article "Court ruling stirs debate over intern pay" from last week's Boston Globe notes, the New York State case which found against Fox Searchlight Pictures for not paying its interns may have "no legal jurisdiction in Massachusetts. It did, however, spark a new -- and some say long overdue -- debate over an old employment practice that straddles the line of educational work experience and indentured servitude."
Much ink and many pixels have been spilled about this since the ruling came out in the last two weeks. On the one hand, not paying student interns for their work contribution can be an unfair labor practice and one which employers can benefit mightily from, if abused. It can be seen as exploitive and in the best interests of the organization, not the student, for whom it is intended to be an educational experience. Unpaid internships can also self-select those who can afford to put in the hours without compensation, making it discriminatory against those of lesser means who need the income.
On the other hand, many students who have undertaken unapid internships will cite the value of the experience gained which might not otherwise have been available to them. The experience can then be added to the student's resume (and possibly portfolio) and therefore can be a big career boost. A recent NACE (National Association of Colleges and Employers) study found that nearly half of all college interns work unpaid, so they clearly see value in these opportunities.
Many of the key points and relevant citations on both sides of the debate can be found in the summary article "Are unpaid internships worth it?" from the website Opportunity Nation.
Of course if an employer pays an intern he or she will be far more pleased. It makes them feel respected and valued and part of the organization. Here at Simmons, where internships are a big part of the curriculum and over 80% of students fulfill their Independent Learning Requirement by undertaking one or more workplace-based educational experiences, we do not turn away unpaid internships from our listings or counsel students against taking an unpaid position. However, we strongly encourage our employer partners to provide compensation to interns, whenever possible. Both parties benefit from the arrangement for the reasons cited above, both for the short- and longer-term (ie, for potential intern-to-full-time-hire conversions).
Stay tuned for newly published internship guidelines for employers, forthcoming on the CEC website. In the interim, go see Vince and Owen at the movies and let us know in the "Comments" section below your thoughts on this summer's hot employment topic.

America's Most Misleading Product Claims
We recently told you about the FTC's crackdown on POM's "wonderful" health claims. But POM is by no means the only player in the how-far-can-we-push-this ad game. Now, via 24/7 Wall Street, we bring you a list of America's most misleading product claims in recent memory (the list is theirs, the comments are ours).
1. Topping the list (surprise, surprise), is POM Wonderful and its promises that consumers could literally "cheat death" by sipping pomegranate juice out of a neat looking bottle. While the juice has been shown to provide some health benefits, the FTC found that POM's claims were not substantiated by two randomized controlled trials — as required by law before such health claims can be made — and were therefore misleading and deceptive. But don't feel too duped, America; we weren't the first to be intrigued by pomegranates. Just ask Persephone.

With Resident Evil: Revelations coming in the next months, many have wondered what could be next for the Capcom survival horror series. Revelations can't be considered as a completely new game since it's based on the 3DS version of the game: it's indeed getting some addition and changes but it's not a completely new entry of the series.
According to some rumors circulating today, Capcom may already have a new Resident Evil game in the works: a source close to Capcom apparently told the site Geimaku that a new game is already in development and it's a next generation project.
The source close to Capcom also added that it's not a main entry of the series but it's going to be a spin-off. Spin-offs of the Resident Evil series aren't something new: last year Resident Evil: Operation Racoon City was released for Ps3 and Xbox 360, allowing players to play as Umbrella Operatives.
Not much else is known about this possible new Resident Evil game except that it should be released on Ps4 and the yet to be detailed new Microsoft console: an official announcement will come later this year, most likely after Resident Evil: Revelations HD is out.

Assistant Professor
The primary objective of this laboratory is to explore, in vivo and in vitro, molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the regulation of Angiotensin II in the rostral ventrolateral medullar (RVLM) of brainstem and the intermediolateral column (IML) of spinal cord on cardiovascular activity and sympathetic outflow in normal and chronic heart failure (CHF) states. It is believed that the presympathetic neurons (PSNs) in the RVLM directly involve, and therefore play a crucial role, in the regulation of sympathetic outflow via a monosynaptic projection to the sympathetic preganglionic neurons (SPNs) in the IML of spinal cord. These neurons in both RVLM and IML, on the other hand, also are important in the integration and regulation of cardiovascular function and sympathetic activity by receiving input from the neurons in other brain areas or from the interneurons locally in the RVLM and IML. Various neurotransmitters and neuromodulator also play a critical role in these operations, of which Angiotensin II is our focus. The sympatho-excitation in the CHF state is closely related to disorders of the above neuronal processes in the RVLM and the IML. To clarify these mechanisms we are employing real-time RT-PCR and Western blot analysis to determine gene and protein expression of AT1R, AT2R, NOS, and NAD(P)H oxidase in RVLM and IML; gene transfer of AT2R virus and plasmid vehicles into RVLM an IML to study this receptor function and its crosstalk with AT1R; whole cell patch clamp to measure potassium channels of neuronal cells under different interventions; extracellular single unit recording of RVLM and IML to observe the neuronal activity in a rat model; and measurement of arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and renal sympathetic nerve activity to monitor cardiovascular function and sympathetic outflow. These studies are providing novel insights regarding mechanisms of sympatho-excitation in the CHF state from the molecular and genetic level, cellular electrical activity, up to whole animal physiology and pathophysiology. The second focus of our laboratory is the significance of AT2R in pancreatic endocrine regulation. We recently found that, in the rat, the pancreas uniquely expressed the highest AT2R protein as compared with all other tissues, with equal distribution in both islet and acinar components. We postulate that the AT2R might represent a novel signaling pathway within β- cells to regulate insulin production and secretion. We believe that an identification of novel pathway like this will provide an insight into the islet biology as well as a new therapeutic option to diabetes. By using the Compound 21, a new created AT2R agonist, we are determining the therapeutic benefit of AT2R activation on type 1 diabetic rats (STZ-induced diabetes), type 2 diabetic rats (Zucker Diabetic Fatty rat), and type 2 diabetic mouse (db/db mouse).

Righthaven vs. Michael Nystrom / Daily Paul DISMISSED by Federal JudgeSubmitted by Michael Nystrom on Thu, 03/17/2011 - 14:30
by Michael Nystrom | March 16, 2011
Last Tuesday U.S. District Judge James C. Mahan ordered the dismissal of Righthaven's lawsuit against me and the Daily Paul. As you may recall, copyright troll and legal terrorist Righthaven sued me on August 31st of last year, demanding $75,000 and forfeiture of this domain name to them. I first learned of the action from Steve Green of the Las Vegas Sun, Las Vegas's good newspaper. Righthaven itself is a partnership between seedy Vegas lawyer Steve Gibson and Vegas's evil newspaper, the Las Vegas Review Journal. They have combined forces to shakedown unsuspecting bloggers in a last gasp attempt to secure revenue for the dying newspaper industry, using a suspect "business model" that goes like this:
Step 1: Righthaven uses its "proprietary technology" (probably Google) to look for potentially infringing LVRJ content that has been reproduced on third party blogs or websites. In my case it was less than half of an article by a faux libertarian LVRJ columnist that was uploaded to the Daily Paul by a member of the DP community.
Step 2: Righthaven puffs itself up like the paper tiger that it is, filing a lawsuit against the site owner for a ridiculous sum, and forfeiture of the domain name. I was lawsuit victim #112. To date Righthaven has sued 250 bloggers and site owners, and have expanded operations to include images, while inexplicably upping their demands to $150,000. While there is no provision in the Copyright Act that would hand over control of a website domain to the plaintiff, Righthaven asks for it anyway because that's how they roll. The bully Righthaven has sued many hobbyists -- bloggers with few site visitors, even fewer resources and a likely ignorace of the law.
Step 3: Righthaven roughs up the defendant, like the bully that it is: "Pay up or else! Or else you're going to lose the lawsuit and owe us $150,000! We're going to get your website!" Of course, nothing could be further from the truth if any of the cases were actually litigated in a court of law. But who can afford to fight these days? The cost to defend oneself in a jury trial in Federal court with a proper defense lawyer starts at around $10,000 and stretches all the way to infinity. Copyright law - especially in regards to the internet - is murky territory because it is so new. Any judgment for a defendant is bound to be appealed by Righthaven, all the way to the Supreme Court. Their entire "business model" depends on it.
Step 4: Righthaven goes for the shakedown, like the thug that it is.
Righthaven understands very well the economics of the situation -- it is the foundation of their 'business model,' after all -- so after roughing up the poor webmaster and scaring the daylights out of him, they play "nice." "We'll get out of your hair, chump, if you just pay us. No court fight, just pay. You can keep your website, and we'll go away, nice."
In their very first case against NORML, Righthaven settled for just $2,185 after being out-dueled by First Amendment superstar Marc Randazza. (Randazza beat Glenn Beck in a 2009 case, a fact that immediately endeard him to my heart).
All settlements since NORML have been confidential, but Brian Hill, the autistic hobbyist blogger sued by Righthaven for $150,000, revealed that they're looking to collect $6,000 from him. Dana Eiser, the Tea Party blogger, revealed that Righthaven is getting bolder still, now asking for $15,000 in go-away money. This for reprinting an "Open Letter" (!!!) to the Tea Party from the Denver Post (Righthaven's newest partner). Eiser argues that by definition "an open letter [is] not copyrightable."
- - -
When I learned that Righthaven was after me last summer, I talked to multiple attorneys, and each advised me that it was in my best interest to settle. Sharon Angle was sued and settled. Matt Drudge was sued and settled. The Free Republic was sued and settled. Even Alex Jones - Alex Jones of all people - was sued and settled!
This is the simple economic calculation that Righthaven was counting on. I did not want to settle. I was determined not to pay Righthaven a cent, and I didn't.
But a funny thing happened on my way to the courtroom. Like a deus ex machina, just a few days after the suit against me was filed, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) jumped into the fray, and began looking for an ideal case to defend. I contacted the EFF with my details, and hoped and prayed that my case would fit their criteria. It was close, but ultimately the EFF chose to defend the Democratic Underground (DU) in a case that was similar to mine, but even easier to win.
As in my case, the DU's site owner did not upload the content, the deed was done by a user; a link back to the original was provided; and only a portion of the article was copied, not the entire piece. In my case, that portion amounted to just under half of the article, but in DU, it was just a few sentences. (Full details here)
After having prepared my legal defense with Dan Booth of Booth Sweet LLC in Cambridge, who came highly recommend from both the EFF and Marc Randazza, I waited for the first shots to be fired. In order for the action to commence, Righthaven had to physically serve me with the lawsuit.
Service never came.
I belive this is because 1) Righthaven is sloppy (they forgot to renew their own business license at the beginning of the year, so busy were they suing bloggers), and, importantly, 2) the EFF absolutely bludgeoned Righthaven in its answer and counterclaim on behalf of the Democratic Underground. The EFF pulled out all the stops, while at the same time roping the LVRJ and its publisher, Stephens Media, into the countersuit! (Read in full here. I never knew reading legal briefs could be so much fun!) Righhaven is currently crying like a baby over this, begging desperately to be let out of their own suit, like the cowards that they are.
As a direct result of this bludgeoning, in November 2010, Righthaven announced it would stop suing over partial news excerpts (like the one that got me sued). By early December, I still had not been served, nor had I heard anything from Righthaven. At the end of December, their 120 day window to serve me expired. The court clerk filed an intention to dismiss on January 26th, 2011, effectively giving Righthaven one last chance to either sh*t or get off the pot, neither of which they did. The order to dismiss finally came last Tuesday, March 7, 2011, soon after which, I had a celebratory beer with my attorney Dan Booth.
Legal observers will note that the suit was dismissed without prejudice, meaning that Righthaven could, theoretically, refile the suit against me within a three year statute of limitations. But at the moment, they seem to have their hands full. Very full. The terms of the copyright assignments between Righthaven and Stephens Media - which to this day remain a mystery - are being seriously questioned by the EFF. This very well may spell the end of Righthaven and their frivolous suits. One can only hope.
At any rate, this ends a long, grueling ordeal for me, and another chapter in the history of the Daily Paul. At the very least, I am pleased to say that Righthaven lost money, not me. Additionally, it was another period of learning and growth during which I made some very meaningful personal connections.
My heartfelt thanks to Steve Green of the Las Vegas Sun, Marc Randazza, Dan Booth, and Colleen Lynn, the owner of RighthavenVictims.blogspot.com, which is an excellent resource for victims, as well as those who wish not to become victims!

Michael, congrats on the lawsuit. I've been worried about the future of Dailypaul since you mentioned this last year. Glad to see it worked out. For us to loose an asset such as you and this website would have been disastrous.

Receive news and information about drunk driving, victims services and underage drinking prevention.
The CT MADD Victim Impact Panel is a court mandated awareness program. It is presented to offenders who have been arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or other drugs. The program is presented in a non-confrontational manner. Victims of DUI crimes share their own personal stories of how impaired drivers forever changed their lives. The panel offers a unique perspective for attending offenders who are sometimes overlooked or simply cannot grasp the message the courts and other DUI offender programs attempt to convey.
The program was created with one purpose in mind: to show the audience, first-hand, the trauma, physical pain, emotional suffering and devastation, financial loss, anger and frustration commonly experienced by innocent victims, resulting from a DUI-related crash.
PLEASE NOTE: There are 2 NEW locations for 2015.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt
My name is Docie!
Facts about Docie
- Breed: Boxer
- Color: Tan/Yellow/Fawn - With White
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Docie's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi meet Docie he is almost 5 year old boxer looking for a home he is very sweet and loving.since the owners moved he fineds himself alone a lot of the time and this is not a boxer's life.he loves everyone and is the sweetest boy ever. children no promblem. .he is fne with other dog s lives to play.good off leash and well manered. Boy he will be fixed and shot s up dated this week.ears and tail done he is a great dog. You won't be sorry 450.00 adoption fee applies
Other Pets at Give 4 Paws A Second Chance
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Docie, a zephyr Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in zephyr, or seeking a Boxer dog from a breeder in zephyr.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in zephyr already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a zephyr breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in zephyr paves the way for another one to be saved.

NEW ORLEANS Linebacker Luke Kuechly, the Carolina Panthers' tackling machine, has won the Associated Press 2012 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year award.
Kuechly, a first-round pick from Boston College, led the league with 164 tackles. He began the season on the outside but moved to middle linebacker five games into the season and the Panthers went from 24th in the league in overall defense to 10th.
He earned 28 votes from a nationwide panel of 50 media members who regularly cover the league. That easily outdistanced Seattle LB Bobby Wagner with 11.
Green Bay cornerback Casey Hayward got six votes, while St. Louis CB Janoris Jenkins got three. Tampa Bay LB Lavonte David got the other two votes.
He is the second Panther to win the award; DE Julius Peppers got it in 2002.
Kuechly accepted his award Saturday night at the "2nd Annual NFL Honors" awards show on CBS saluting the NFL's best players, performances and plays from the 2012 season.

Mitch Miller, who helped shape musical tastes in the 1950s and early '60s as the head of the popular music division at Columbia Records and hosted the hit "Sing Along With Mitch" TV show in the early '60s while becoming one of the era's most commercially successful recording artists, has died. He was 99.
Mitch Miller: The obituary of music icon Mitch Miller in Tuesday's Section A said he produced the legendary "Charlie Parker With Strings" sessions while he was artists and repertoire director at Mercury Records. Jazz impresario Norman Granz, who had Parker under contract, produced the sessions. —
Miller died Saturday after a short illness at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, said his daughter, Margaret Miller Reuther.
A top oboist and English horn player who joined the CBS Symphony Orchestra in the 1930s and later recorded with legendary conductor Leopold Stokowski, Miller wound up his more than seven-decade musical career guest conducting symphony orchestras around the world.
A show business icon with his trademark goatee and baton, Miller is considered one of the most influential producers in the history of recording.
He made a career switch from playing to producing in the late 1940s by becoming A&R (artists and repertoire) director at Mercury Records, a small label that he turned into a major force in the industry.
At Mercury, Miller nurtured the careers of such singers as Vic Damone, Patti Page and Frankie Laine.
He also played on and produced the legendary " Charlie Parker With Strings" sessions and, as a technical innovator in the studio, he was a pioneer of overdubbing in the days before tape, recording from acetate to acetate on a 1949 Page recording of "Money, Marbles and Chalk" on which Page sings to herself.
But it was at Columbia Records from 1950 to the early 1960s that Miller became a recording industry legend.
As Columbia's high-profile A&R head responsible for single popular records, Miller produced a string of hits for Doris Day, Rosemary Clooney, Tony Bennett, Jo Stafford, Johnnie Ray, Jerry Vale, Johnny Mathis, the Four Lads, Laine, Damone and many other artists.
Within two years of his arrival at Columbia, Miller had moved the fourth-place label to first place in industry revenues.
In the world of pop music during the Truman and Eisenhower eras, Miller was the man song publishers besieged with new material.
By mid-1953, Columbia's popular records "artistic czar," as Miller was dubbed in a New Yorker profile, had overseen 51 hits in three years.
In a Billboard listing of the 30 most profitable records of 1952, 11 were released by Columbia — compared to five from archrival RCA-Victor, according to the New Yorker profile in June 1953.
In the previous 18 months, the only two records that had sold 2 million copies were produced by Miller: Johnnie Ray's "Cry" and "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus," sung by 12-year-old Jimmy Boyd.
As Columbia's A&R man for popular records, Miller chose which songs would be recorded, how they would be treated musically, and which singers and musicians would perform them. He then supervised the recording sessions.
Miller was well known for producing novelty tunes with sometimes quirky orchestrations (French horns, bagpipes and, most famously, the sound of a snapping whip on Laine's 1949 million-plus seller for Mercury Records, "Mule Train").
For Rosemary Clooney's 1951 novelty song for Columbia "Come On-a My House," a quasi-Armenian folk song, Miller used an amplified harpsichord.

The musician and producer helped shape musical tastes in the 1950s and '60s. He nurtured the careers of Vic Damone, Patti Page and Leslie Uggams.

Small Furry Animals
In the world of pets small can be beautiful and loveable.
RABBITS, symbols of innocence and life (the Easter Bunny) and playfulcunning (Bug's Bunny), make excellent pets. If you're buying a pair, makesure they're not of the opposite sex: they breed S well, like rabbits.It's a good idea anyway to have your rabbit spayed or neutered to make itmore docile and reduce spraying, chewing and digging.
If the hutch is outdoors, make sure it's weatherproof: give it a cover forthe front of the hutch after dark and during wet weather. A 3ft orpreferably 4ft hutch, on legs, is best. Dampness is anathema to rabbits.Bed the hutch with straw or hay or clean newspaper laid flat and cover withsawdust. Clean it regularly, once a week should be sufficient, but morefrequently in warm weather.
Many dried mixed rabbit foods are available. If possible find out what theparent was eating and stick to that. Don't overfeed bunnies. Two to threeounces of dry food is plenty for a medium size rabbit. Supplement this withhay and an occasional carrot and some green food (not too much). Rabbitswill drink about a quarter pint of water a day, more in hot weather. Anabundance of treats are available; they help to keep teeth from overgrowing.
Groom the fur with a comb or soft brush. Take the rabbit to the vet's fornail clipping when they grow too long. Crunchy treats, mineral stones or apiece of fruit tree about one inch thick will help to keep teeth down.Rabbits also benefit from a good run around – in an enclosed area.
Rabbit Hutch accessorieFood DishWater Drinking BottleToys e.g. the inner of a kitchen towel or toilet rollHay Rack attached to the side of the hutch clear of the floor
NOWADAYS rats aren't restricted to people's Room 101 – that Orwellian placewhere you are made to live through your worst nightmare. Today's fancy ratsare descended from the Brown or Norway rat and can be intelligent and lovingpets.
Males are usually more sedate and will sit quite happily on your lap andwatch TV or just go to sleep. Females are much more active and playful. Norat kitten should be taken from its mother before six weeks old, the minimumage of weaning. If you buy a doe between six-eight weeks, check that she'sbeen separated from her brothers – she might have conceived during thistime.
Rat cages
Choose one with a base of hard plastic or metal, with wire bars about 15mmapart. The minimum size for a pair of rats is 60cm x 30cm x 30cm. The bestfloor covering is paper-based cat litter and the best bedding shredded paperor hay. Protect the cage from draughts, direct sunlight and any suddenchanges in temperature. Clean regularly.
Rat toys
Rats enjoy being active and are drawn to toys placed in their cage, such as:
wooden shelves and perches,wooden or metal ladders,ropes and swings, cardboard tubes and even lengths of drainage pipes can be suspended from thetop of the cage.
Special rat food is available in pet shops. Supplement this with treatslike wholemeal bread, non-sugared breakfast cereals and dog biscuits. Freshvegetables should only be fed every second or third day and only inmoderation to avoid diarrhoea and can include apple, carrot, tomato, celery,cabbage and broccoli.Rats also enjoy animal bones. Ensure that clean drinking water isconstantly available.
Diseases and careRats are very susceptible to tumours, especially in later life. Benign onesare generally soft to touch and usually harmless, even so, they can growquite large and become quite painful to the rat.Most can be removed successfully with the rat making a full recovery. Vetswill often charge the same for operations on rats as on cats.
Relating to your ratAvoid quick and sudden movements around a new rat and talk to it every timeyou feed it. If you always use its name when you feed it, it will soon learn to come whenyou call.Always sit down when handling a new rat so that if it jumps from your handit won't hurt itself.As the rat becomes tamer allow it to have more freedom but always supervisewhere it goes. Not only can it do a lot of damage to cables but it couldalso hurt itself.
MICE are happy and playful, can get to know their owners and sometimes comeand take treats off you, climb onto your hand and run all over you. Bynature they're timid, so spend time getting to know them. When picking oneup, cup it in your hand, grip the base of its tail and scoop it up – moveslowly and deliberately. It will soon learn to trust you.
Fancy and pet mice come in many different colours, markings and several coattypes. One common variety is the albino, with white fur, pink skin, andpink eyes. Pet mice usually live one to two years.
As with buying any animal from a pet shop rather than a specialist breeder,make sure you go to a good, clean, reputable shop. Ideally they should notleave the litter before five weeks.
If you get them too young they will be jumpy and hard to socialize at first.Mice like socialising with each other but males can be very territorial sodon't get two of them.
Large, plastic or glass tanks are ideal – not hamster cages as the bars areto far apart. Place the cage out of direct sunlight and away from draughts.
Cover the floor in wood shavings. Use wool, tissue or paper for bedding.Mice love exercising on wheels and bird toys amuse them for hours.If you notice a decline in appetite, there is likely something wrong withyour mice. Keep an eye out for other signs of illness, includinglistlessness, difficulty breathing, or changes in the consistency of feces.If you notice that your mouse has diarrhea or a marked lack of appetite formore than one day, contact a vet experienced in treating small mammalsimmediately.
You can buy special food from a pet shop. Fill a water bottle daily. Giverodent treats in moderation. Dog biscuit will help prevent your mouse'steeth growing too long.
Mouse health
They can get mites, lice or fleas if exposed to animals with theseparasites. Some common symptoms indicating your illness include diarrhea,sneezing, wheezing, runny nose, scruffy coat and general lethargy.
HAMSTERS and GUINEA PIGS
HAMSTERS have been part of the pet world for a long time and come in manycolours and coat lengths, including dwarf hamsters (that look like smallfuzz balls and, because of their size require less food and water).
All are nocturnal, and the long hair varieties will need extra grooming butall hamsters, no matter what their coat type, should be handled ever day.
They need a strong cage that fits tightly onto a strong plastic base,ideally with more than one level and as large as possible. They are veryactive throughout their short three-year lives and should have an exercisewheel.
Supplement a basic diet of a hard food hamster mix with occasional treatfoods like carrot, celery, grapes, pear, grass, dandelion leaves andraisins.
Hamster health
They're pretty hardy but so small that injuries and illness can quicklybecome serious. Look out for loss of appetite, inactivity, ruffled orunkempt coat, sneezing, discharge from the nose or eyes, wetness around thetail and diarrhea. Hair loss can be a symptom of skin disease or parasitesand warrants a trip to the vet.Guinea pigsThis children's favourite usually requires little care. If kept in clean,warm hutches, and fed a varied diet, guinea pigs rarely become ill.Long-haired varieties require grooming, and all require shampooing three orfour times over summer to reduce mites. They are sociable creatures andlove company. Females can be kept together or in groups, two males may alsolive together.
They are usually kept in outside hutches. Make sure they have plenty of hayto burrow in and cover the hutch at night during winter to keep them warm.Put down some litter inside the hutch and cover it with hay. Guinea pigsare never happier than when they are eating.
They can eat a wide variety of food. Give them hay, dry food and fresh foodpreferably twice a day. They will eat almost any fruit or vegetable, butavoid potato; lettuce and apples should only be given in small quantities.They also love dandelions.

Elway strong candidate for SN Executive of the Year

By Andrew Mason Sporting News
ENGLEWOOD, Colo.As the Broncos keep winning, their candidates for major awards add up.
Peyton Manning is in the mix for NFL offensive player of the year and comeback player of the year. Von Miller could end up grappling with Houston's J.J. Watt for defensive player of the year. And John Elway's quick rebuilding of a depth-shy, dysfunctional franchise after five years of steady decline could put him on track for Sporting News Executive of the Year honors. .....

FIELD METHODSEight soil pits were hand-excavated in representative slope positions. Pit locations were determined using a Trimble ProXR GPS. Soil profiles were described using standard methods and nomenclature (Soil Survey Division Staff 1993, Schoeneberger and others 1998). Soil profiles and the immediate surroundings were photographed. Master horizons and vertical subdivisions thereto were sampled for analysis in the laboratory. LABORATORY METHODSParticle-size (fine Earth fraction) and organic carbon content analysis was conducted on all samples collected in the field (methods modified from Singer Janitsky 1986). Sand fractions were analyzed at the full phi interval using a sonic sifter. The silt and clay fraction was analyzed using the hydrometer method. Organic carbon content was determined using the loss-on-Ignition method (~15 g/ sample, heated to 360°C for 4 hours).

News: 2009-2010
First Canadian 2010 Olympic Figure Skating team members named
(January 17, 2010) – The Pairs event began the day of free skates at the John Labatt Centre. It was a nerve-wrackingt as the top three teams were bunched very close together after the short program. Finishing on top as Canadian Champions were Jessica Dubé and Bryce Davison with a nearly perfect free skate. They scored 135.40 points to finish with a total of 198.27 points. In second place, Anabelle Langlois and Cody Hay had a total score of 183.42 points, and third place went to Meagan Duhamel and Craig Buntin with 172.18 points.
"That felt incredible from start to finish. That was probably one of the best twists we have ever done in competition. Everything flowed from one thing right into the next. I can't really explain to you how it happened, it was natural and we were really excited about how we skated," said Bryce Davison. "That was exactly what we wanted, and looking back it is going to give us a lot of confidence. We're really happy about being Canadian champions, I think that's three so far, it's exciting!"
"We said yesterday we wanted to bring the emotion out of the crowd, and I think that's what we did. We felt really good in practice this morning and the warm-up felt really good. We knew we were going to do it tonight," explained Jessica Dubé.
The next event was the Women's Free Skate, dominated once again by Joannie Rochette. With a clean performance that scored 144.08 points in the free skate, she finished with a total of 208.23. She set a new total Canadian record, breaking the record she set previously at the Canadian Championships in 2005 with a score totaling 183.93 points. Cynthia Phaneuf placed second with a total score of 182.55 points.
Joannie recollected thinking in 2005 after she won her first national title that "well Jen (Robinson) won six, so I need to win six too,…so it's always been at the back of my mind, so I can't miss any if I want to win six." After tonight Joannie is now a six-time National Canadian Champion "I'm a very competitive person and when I have to do it, it gives me a strong boost," she said.
The senior ice dance was the last event of the day. Hometown sweethearts and defending champions Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir skated phenomenally and brought down the house scoring 107.82 points in the free dance. They also set a new Canadian record with an overall total score of 221.95 points.
"Tess and I are obviously pretty pleased with that program tonight; you could probably tell in our reaction," said Scott Moir. "There was a lot of energy in the arena -- we were really trying to feed off that. It added a little bit of pressure for us today we really wanted go out there and give them something to stand up for."
The fight for the second-place finish was extremely tight with Vanessa Crone and Paul Poirier taking it home with a final score of 184.70 points, and Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje very close behind in third with 184.40 points.
In the afternoon the Canadian Olympic Committee, along with Skate Canada, announced the first skaters to be nominated to the Canadian team for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Canada has two entries in each of the four disciplines. The pair competitors will be Jessica Dubé from St-Cyrille-de-Wendover, Quebec/Bryce Davison from Huntsville, Ontario and Anabelle Langlois from Hull, Quebec/Cody Hay from Edmonton, Alberta. In ladies, the team will be Joannie Rochette, from Île Dupas, Quebec and Cynthia Phaneuf from Contrecoeur, Quebec.
Tickets for the 2010 BMO Canadian Figure Skating Championships are still available and can be purchased online at www.johnlabattcentre.com, by phone at 1.866.455.2849 or in person at the John Labatt Centre.

Turner Watson: 5/5 Stars
See, it's a play on words: pills. Pilsner. See? Okay. I don't have a proper pilsner glass, so I poured it into a pint glass like I do ALL my beers. Equality. I haz it. Ain't playin' favorites with fancy-schmancy beer-specific glasses like that Mexican fella.(Although this would've been KILLER in a real Pilsner glass. Which I don't possess.) Anyway, it looked like a pilsner. Good, foamy head. Light blonde color. And it tasted JUST like a proper pilsner. Sweet, light, a bit malty. Just the right amount of carbonation, pitch-perfect body. Good stuff, and a refreshing change of pace.
John The Mexican:10/5 Stars
OOOOOHHHHH YEAH!!! Every once and a while we get a beer in the beer club that can change your life. This is one of them! Very easy to drink pilsner with a hint of citrus. Try this one out, and don't forget to get one of the glass sets from Belmont, it will totally change the composition of the beer. This one is SPECIAL!
Barry Thickk: 4/5 Stars
Pils, hmmmm thought this beer might of had a little hint of Vicodin but I was wrong. It was a very good pilsner. Yeast and dough with hints of lemon. Very slight bitterness but not to much. This beer would be worth an investment for your entertainment. Go get you some, Pils.

Lower Jaw Advancement
Hi everyone. I am new to the forum. I just have a question. I've read that mouth-breathing causing an unattractive facial structure, I hate to admit it, but I think it's true. Where my family has very defined attract looks, I do not. I have a very sunken chin. It seems to slightly block my airway as well. I want to have lower jaw advancement, but it could be a problem because I have had braces are almost perfectly aligned my teeth. I have thought about it, and I do think this is something I want to do for cosmetic and functional reasons. Can I advance my jaw and bring my teeth back with braces?

Biographical/Historical note:
Susie Williams Jones was born in Danville, Kentucky, in 1892. After graduating from high school, she completed an additional year of high school at Woodward High School in Cincinnati. She then enrolled at the University of Cincinnati. She married David Jones in 1915. The couple moved to Greensboro in 1926 when he became the president of Bennett College, a position he held until his death in 1956. Mrs. Jones worked as the registrar at the college during his presidency. The couple had four children. She served as the first president and vice president of the United Council of Church Women in North Carolina from 1944-1946; helped form the Susie B. Dudley YWCA; and served on the finance committee of the United Fund. The Susie Jones Alumni House at Bennett is named for her. Jones died in 1984.
This oral history interview conducted by William Chafe circa 1978 with Susie Williams Jones primarily documents Ms. Jones' memories of Bennett College, desegregation, and Greensboro, North Carolina...

I have been troubled throughout the entire period of the Luis Suarez, Patrice Evra, racism row.
I have felt unsure about what exactly was troubling me the most; aside from the natural discomfort one would expect when someone you feel a loyalty to has been accused of racism – and have only today come to the conclusion that the unsettling feeling was primarily due to the way we appear to have handled the situation; how we appear to have let both Suarez and Evra down.
When I say we, I mean us – Liverpool Football Club; The FA; FIFA; the media and anyone else who could have and should have ensured that the events of the past few weeks did not play out in the fashion that they have.
For those of you who do not have even a cursory understanding of the subject matter at hand, allow me to provide the briefest of overviews:
During a game of professional football a confrontation occurred between Suarez and Evra – the details of which will never, ever, truly be known; not even by Suarez or Evra – as memory and perception do not always square with reality and fact, and the accusation made was one based on nothing more than one persons word against another.
Subsequent to the confrontation Evra made an accusation that he had been racially abused by Suarez. Now, it is important to understand that, to me, the term 'game' in this context should be interpreted as 'at work'.
It is from this point of view that I consider the duty of care that could have, and perhaps should have, been extended to both Evra and Suarez has been nothing but a complete and utter failing on the part of professional football (my opinion).
The 'story' has made for sensational back-page headlines for the tabloid press. The characters of both Evra and Suarez have been subject to intense scrutiny and the reputation of both players, Liverpool Football Club and football in general have come under microscopic examination.
This episode has demonstrated, yet again, how the world of football is light years away from the world in which each and every one of us lives and works in.
Consider what might have happened if any one of us had been accused of racial harassment in the work-place; how many of us would have found ourselves suspended, on full pay, without any inference of guilt, whilst an investigation took place to determine if there were any grounds for disciplinary proceedings.
Consider why we might have been suspended; to protect us from ourselves; to protect the business from any further harm; to ensure an investigation could take place without prejudice or discomfort for the accused whilst it took place – to ensure the business had a good grasp of the facts behind the allegation before making any decisions.
Consider that we would most likely have been informed, for our own good, not to make any comments about the subject to anyone; not to contact a fellow colleague even – as it might contaminate the investigation. We most likely would have been advised that the accusation was one of significant gravity as to constitute gross mis-conduct – so that we had a clear understanding of how serious the matter was and why it was important that we investigate the matter thoroughly.
As unpleasant as that might have been, it would have been done for our own good, for the good of the alleged 'victim' and to ensure a duty of care was applied to all concerned, including the business.
Protecting the player (employee) was absolutely the right thing to do. The manner in which we protected him, in my opinion, perhaps was not.
Then again, my opinion is only based upon what I have read and that does not necessarily mean I have any idea about what was or was not actually done.
Football continues to conduct its business as though it were just a sport. It seems to have overlooked the fact it became a business a long time ago.
A business with as many employees as Liverpool Football Club, with a Brand as globally prominent as Liverpool Football Club, would have a clear code of conduct, a set process of how to manage an allegation of gross mis-conduct and a Human Resources Department that would ensure everyone understood their responsibilities and duties in the event a situation such as this occurred.
Our response as a club, whilst admirably adhering to our ethos of leaving no one to walk alone through a storm, could have and perhaps should have taken a lead from how this situation would have been handled in the real world.
I stand by Luis Suarez. I stand by Kenny Dalglish and always will. I stand by all connected to Liverpool Football Club.
However, we should have at least considered the chance that something Suarez said caused offence to Patrice Evra, whether it was intentional or not. We should have approached the allegation impartially, objectively and professionally, not just out of loyalty.
We should have mitigated how much information went out into the public domain and we should have thrown a shroud of confidentiality and security around Suarez until our internal investigation was completed.
Liverpool Football Club was 100% right to stand up for Luis Suarez, but we need to consider the possibility that we could have done a better, more professional job. We could have conducted a forensic investigation and bolstered our defense built upon a solid foundation of facts. We should have been so prepared in our defense that Evra, if he has in fact mislead the FA, would now be serving out a ban for his part.
Our public communications should have been that we take the allegation seriously and are determined to look into the matter further. Nothing else.
As it is, Suarez has been through the public mill, Evra may have escaped punishment for his conduct in the matter and a chance to achieve a different outcome has been lost. We may even have lost an opportunity to mediate a discourse between the two players to the point where any 'misunderstanding' was clarified.
We are Liverpool Football Club and we have a duty of care to football. We have a duty to set a higher standard for others to follow. We have a duty to ensure that we, to the absolute best of our ability, take care of our own.
