Early life
Jericho returned to his native of Port-au-Prince, Haiti after twelve years of education and practice in the United States. His brother Daniel Drumm had become the local Houngan, but was dying from the spell of a rival bokor who claimed he served the evil serpent god Damballah. Before he died, Daniel made his brother vow to visit Papa Jambo, who had instructed Daniel in the arts of a Houngan.[4]
Brother Voodoo
After only a few weeks Jericho had reached a proficiency in voodoo even greater than his brother's. To further increase his power, Papa Jambo performed a rite that summoned Daniel Drumm's spirit back from the dead and joined it with Jericho's own. With his successor being found and ready to take his place, Papa Jambo died. Calling himself Brother Voodoo, Jericho defeated the cult and has proven himself the supreme Houngan of Haiti. He learned that it was not the true Damballah responsible, but a creation of the Elder God Set.[5]
Brother Voodoo investigated A.I.M.'s attempt to create a form of Zombies and has fought rival voodoo practitioner posing as Baron Samedi.[6]
Loralee Tate was kidnapped by the Cult of the Dark Lord[7] to be used as a sacrifice in order to rejuvenate the cult leader's mother, Mama Limbo. She was rescued by Brother Voodoo.[8] Afterwards, her father, a high ranking police officer, forbade her any further contact with Brother Voodoo, fearing that he was having a bad influence on her.[9]
Werewolf by Night
Jericho later helped the Werewolf by Night deal with Doctor Glitternight.[10] He used a spell that allowed his brother Daniel's spirit to control the actions of the werewolf. They battled hordes of Zombies, so they could enter the Black Egg, which was the source of Glitternight's power. Daniel was given for in the egg and helped his brother in battle working together to defeat Glitternight. After the battle his brother returned to his spirit form.[11]
The Thing
As a result of the disappearance of several members of the black community, Voodoo teamed up with the Thing of the Fantastic Four. The mystery lead them to Uganda where they had to fight Voodoo priest, W'Sulli; who was using a vampire to do his bidding. He was working with Kinji Obatu they took down both of the criminals and freed the prisoners.[12]
Damballah's Wangal
Brother Voodoo eventually succumbed to the lure of power that Damballah's wangal represented. Upon Jericho's wearing it, the god Damballah took over Daniel's soul, burned down the mansion, and apparently slew Bambu. He traveled to New York City to attempt to take over the mind and body of Earth's Sorcerer Supreme, Doctor Strange, who eventually freed Brother Voodoo of Damballah's influence and re-confined the evil god to the wangal.[13]
Moon Knight
Moon Knight came to Haiti and they teamed up to take down Grand Bois who was raising a Zombie army.[14] Drumm was later attacked by Doctor Friday and turned into a mindless Zombe.[15] Moon Knight was able to free his mind and together took down the Haitian crimelord.[16]
After Marie Le Veau used the Vampiric Verses, Brother Voodoo was forced to summon a zombie army to assist Doctor Strange, Clea, Rintrah, and Morbius.[17] Although they were able to defeat the vampires, the zombies then had to be destroyed to be at peace.[18]
Secret Invasion
Brother Voodoo became involved with the supernatural "Howling Commandos" operation of the espionage agency S.H.I.E.L.D.,[19] and registered with the government in accordance with the Superhuman Registration Act.[20][21]
At some point, he was replaced by a Skrull. While Black Panther was fighting Erik Killmonger, the Skrull Brother Voodoo revealed himself when he attempted to kill Cannibal, whom he deemed to be a threat. However, the two killed each other in the struggle and the discovery of "Brother Voodoo's" true form revealed the Skrull invasion to the Black Panther, allowing him time to prepare.[22]
Sorcerer Supreme
Agamotto appeared to Jericho through his Eye. The Eye left Strange after magically showing him and the New Avengers nearly thirty-candidates who would possibly replace Strange, reaching Voodoo. Because he possessed the Eye, along with Strange's former garb, Drumm became the new Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-616. The possession of the Eye indicated that Jericho possesses a pure heart and a clean soul. Drumm appeared in New Orleans to intervene in the desperate battle between Dormammu and The Hood against Doctor Strange with the New Avengers.[23]
When Agamotto was cast out of the Vishanti and had most of his powers stripped from him, he attacked the New Avengers in order to reclaim the Eye of Agamotto from Doctor Voodoo as it was the only artifact that could defeat him.[24] Jericho used the Eye to defeat Agamotto, but the Eye was destroyed and his life was lost in the process.[25]
When the Scarlet Witch was affected by an inversion spell which altered her moral axis, she set out to murder Doctor Doom for the manipulations she was victim of.[26] In order to stop her, Doctor Doom made a Faustian pact with a demigod to resurrect Doctor Voodoo, as he and his brother Daniel were the only ones capable of possessing Wanda, in order to make her "cooperate" in the conjuration of a reinversion spell.[27]
In the wake of the conflict, Doctor Voodoo joined the Avengers Unity Division.[28]
As the Unity Division became increasingly fractured during the new Civil War and the threat of the Terrigenesis cloud, Drumm was shocked to learn that his brother had chosen to side with the Hand, seeking his own resurrection even at the cost of becoming their pawn, going so far as to offer them the corpse of the recently-deceased Bruce Banner to become their agent of destruction[29]. Voodoo was able to escape his brother and warn the Unity Division of this threat, but while they failed to stop the Hulk's resurrection[30], Drumm was able to create a spell that allowed him to enter the Hulk's mind once his teammates had worn him down. The Hand's mystical forces appeared to Drumm in astral form while in Banner's mind and offered to restore his brother to him if he would let them keep Banner, but Drumm declared that he would choose his 'brother' in the form of his friend Bruce, informing the Hand that Daniel had made his choice, purging the Hulk of the Hand's influence and allowing Banner to die again[31].
Powers and Abilities
|Power Grid [36]
|Energy Projection
|Fighting Skills
Voodoo: Brother Voodoo is a master of Voodoo Magic. As a Houngan, he uses it as a form of order or white magic. [32]
- Pyrokinesis: He can become immune to fire by entering a trance. While entranced his body will not burn and he will not feel the heat. Jericho can control fire and his skin becomes impervious to burning.[32]
- Smoke Manipulation: Brother Voodoo is able to create a form of smoke or vapors that conceal his location. This smoke is accompanied by the sound of voodoo drums. The constant beat of the drums can disorient or unnerve an opponent. He can see through the smoke he forms, and possibly through other smoke created by magical means.[33]
- Hypnosis: Brother Voodoo has a form of hypnotism. It is not very effective on humans; the more intelligent a being is the more strongly they can resist his control. However, it does work well on animals. It can also be used on plants and vegetation, but their lack of mobility makes their usefulness limited. The subject must be alive, and he can only concentrate on one being at a time.[33]
- Spirit Possession: Jericho can call upon Daniel Drumm's spirit. Daniel can either enter Jericho's body to augment him physically, or he can be used to possess another being. The person becomes a virtual slave as long as he or she is alive or does not already have another foreign spirit within their body. When Daniel's spirit leaves the body, the person affected generally feels nauseous.[32]
- Speaker to the Gods or Loa: Jericho can speak to the Loas.[33]
- Magic Immunity: Jericho is immune to harmful magic.[33]
- Magic Manipulation: Jericho can manipulate magical entities.[33]
- Teleportation: Jericho can use the Evanodor Compatriot Boost Spell to transport him to other dimension.[33]

- Element and Magical Manipulation: Jericho can manipulate magical and mystical forces, elemental forces at his will. He can also summon mystical creatures to counter-attack magical attacks.[33]
Psychologist: Jericho gained a degree in psychology in the United States of America.[34]
Multilingual: Jericho is fluent in both English and French along with his native French Créole.[34]
Strength level
Normally 250 lbs. When merged with Daniel he can lift 500 lbs. His possession of the Eye of Agamotto would seem to indicate his purity of heart.[33]
As a mystic, Drumm has been limited to the disciplines of voodoo magic, not the wider world of magic.[33]
- Staff of Legba
- Brother Voodoo utilizes a medallion to assist him in harnessing the "Loa." and also employs a host of voodoo paraphernalia such as voodoo dolls.[32]
- As Sorcerer Supreme he had access to the Eye of Agamotto, which can project mystical light for a variety of effects, fly, give its user certain mystical perceptions into another's soul, open dimensional portals, and cast a hypnotic gaze, as well as the Cloak of Levitation, allowing him to fly at 25 miles an hour for indeterminate lengths. Additionally pieces of Strange's former costume, such as his enchanted sash capable of extending in length, plus the Orb of Agamotto, and books of knowledge, such as the Book of the Vishanti, were all at Brother Voodoo's disposal to help him train for his future quests. Drumm also had the right to claim the Wand of Watoomb, according to Doctor Strange, but at the time it was lost in another reality.[33]
Flight through the Cloak of Levitation, teleportation.[33]
- Interestingly, Jericho Drumm was shown in the Marvel Tarot as "The Hanged Man."

You can count them on one hand. Alabama, Kansas, Georgia and South Carolina. Every morning, realclearpolitics.com lists all the public polls, both state and national, released that day. Since Saturday, John McCain has been behind in every single national poll. He has also been behind in every major swing state. He's down by double digits in Pennsylvania and Virginia, down by 13 in New Mexico, down by 10 in Virginia.
The "safe" states for McCain are few and far between, and not even close to a majority in the electoral college.
McCain's defenders call it a "mid-single digit" deficit. Presidential elections don't work like horsehoes. A "mid-single digit" defeat means you get clobbered. A "high-single digit" defeat means a landslide.
Right now, the race is somewhere between clobbered and landslide, somewhere between 1988 (seven points/clobbered) and 1980 (nine points/landslide). Not close. Not pretty.
Wednesday night was John McCain's last big chance to change things. It was the last moment that a significant percentage of Americans will tune in to see the two candidates. It was the last chance for McCain to take on Barack Obama on an even playing field.
Starting Thursday, and for the 18 days that follow, Obama will be outspending McCain everywhere that matters by 2-1 or 3-1 – or more. Starting Thursday, Republicans everywhere will be covering their rear ends, trying to make sure that they are not swept up in what looks like a wave; trying to cut their losses, avoid taking people with them.
Starting Thursday, you put the money where it will help the down-ticket races. We all know what the last days of a losing campaign look like. Been there, done that. Not pretty.
Wednesday night was McCain's last best chance to avoid triage. He needed to make something happen. He didn't. Wednesday night was not a "game-changer." Don't take my word for it. Ask Republican Mike Huckabee. He said it, and he's right.
Joe the Plumber may be the new icon of the campaign, but Obama's comment that we need to "spread the wealth around" is not going to cost him this election. It's not that kind of year. It's the kind of year where people who never worry are worried, where economic insecurity is rampant, where the problem is not too much government but not enough. By all means spread the wealth around, if there is any to spread around.
Maybe there was nothing McCain could have said to change things. Maybe the die was cast when the housing bubble exploded, when the Dow dropped, when the credit market froze. It may well be that we'll look back and say, as we did in 1980, that thinking this would be a close election was a denial of economic reality; that all people needed was the barest reassurance that it was safe to say no to the incumbent party, and the party was over.
Maybe we'll say that no matter who McCain picked, or how much he raised, or what he did, the end would have been the same, that Mitt Romney could not have done any better, in the first or second spot; that that when the percentage of Americans who think the country is heading on the right track is in the single digits, a single-digit defeat is the best the incumbent party can expect.
The Republican talking heads are all saying that McCain "won" on Wednesday night. What they mean is that they liked what they heard. As well they should. McCain played to his base on Wednesday night, and played hard. He played to avoid having the floor fall out from under him. He played for a single-digit defeat, not a victory.
October is not the time to play to your base. October is not the time for liberals to be proud of being liberals, or conservatives to be proud of being conservatives. That's August. September, latest.
October is the time for Democrats to point out that abortion is a difficult issue, that reasonable people can disagree; that's what Obama did Wednesday night. He was playing to the middle, because his base is secure.
As Jimmy Carter once said, life isn't fair. It isn't. Hillary Clinton supporters now understand that all that stood between her and the White House was a failed caucus strategy; that she, too, could have beaten John McCain, and would have.
True enough. John McCain supporters, particularly those who were with him eight years ago, must be pained by the realization that the man who beat them, slammed them, threw mud at them then is costing their man the election now. Wednesday night, at long last, John McCain insisted that he wasn't George Bush, that if Barack Obama wanted to run against George Bush, he should have run four years ago.
It was a good line. It was a long overdue effort to draw a line in the sand. But it doesn't work. Politics is not about fairness.
It may not be George Bush's fault that the economy is in the toilet, but it happened on his watch. He would have taken credit for peace and prosperity. So he gets blamed for their absence. And so does his party, and its new leader. Live by the sword and die by the sword, even if it's someone else's sword.
Barack Obama is a very lucky guy. But it is also the case that he made his luck. The fat lady has yet to sing, but she is definitely getting ready.

This January Hard On welcomed porn star Bruno Knight who hosted the first ever Fuc*k Off. This is where couples perform on stage to out do each other…much like a dance off except for F…ing!
The standard of contestants was quite high, but of course, there is always the ones you don't want to see. As each couple took to the stage they were given 10 minutes to do thier stuff…and they tried…but with a time limit, hungry eyes watching there was no doubt going to be some 'stage fright'. Only one person managed to reach the end…if you know what we mean, and he was awarded the best 'top'. The clever thing about this Fu*k Off was we could relate to those on the stage. These weren't porn stars that were paid to deliver a show, these were people who had a real desire for each other. They were exhibitionists…and you wanted to cheer them on. Apart from being sexual, it was also very entertaining and although you will not see any of the 'Fu*k Off' photos of the show here, you can see more on our dirty brother website www.FetishPig.co.uk.

Reasons your co-workers might hate you
You might find some of your co-workers, and they may feel the same way about you.
Here are four ways you could be getting on the nerves of your co-workers:
- You will not shut up about your dog, kids, vacation, or upcoming wedding. You can talk about that stuff for a few minutes, but if you find yourself going on and on over and over again, you are probably driving your fellow employees crazy.
- You are always doing fundraisers. Some parents bring in their kids' fundraising items from school, and people are guilted into buying wrapping paper, chocolate, cookies, and other stuff they do not want. Most people will not mind this happening occasionally.
- You ask for help all the time. If you find yourself constantly needing help, asking questions, fishing for praise, or trying to get attention, you are probably getting on people's nerves.
- You make a lot of noise. If you talk really loudly on the phone or to other workers, play music loudly, or talk to yourself, your co-workers might hate you. Use your headphones and keep your voice down.

The Top Hebraic Moments of the Canadian Grammys
"A biracial Jewish former child star from Canadian television who's a multimillion-dollar selling artist? You couldn't create a better Canadian in a science lab." That's how one wag described rapper Drake, who made his debut as host of the Juno Awards — Canada's Grammys — in Toronto last night. And from Drake's red-carpet kiss with his kvelling Jewish mother to an appearance by a Semitic rock legend, the evening boasted a few Hebraic moments.
After escorting her son through the red-carpet gauntlet, Sandi Graham got a shout-out from Drake, who name-checked "my Jewish mother" in his opening monologue. Drake — nee Aubrey Drake Graham— was raised Jewish, bar mitzvahed and even went to Jewish day school, as the Forward has reported.

Valedictory Speakers
Abordonado, Andrew Kekoa
Good evening President Wright, members of the board of trustees, distinguished faculty, honored guests, fellow graduates, families and friends. Thank you all for gathering for this wonderful occasion.
Before proceeding to my main speech, I would like to thank a few people that I love, for it is their support that has allowed me to be here today and continue to dream for the future.
Thank you Dr. Juarez, Dr. Cheng, Dr. Fung, Dr. McCreary, Dr. Masuda, Dr. Zanella, Dr. Hedlund, and Dr. Davidann for your kind mentorship and all that you have taught me. I promise to use what I have learned from you to the best of my ability to make a positive impact on the world. I am eternally grateful to you all.
There is a Latin saying, "aut viam inveniam, aut faciam," which means either find a way, or make one. This represents the faith and support that Dr. Saundra Schwartz has placed in me. Thank you for believing in me all these years and for encouraging me to pursue beyond which that I can see.
To my brother, Andre-Alan, thank you for teaching me that growing older does not mean losing one's innocence.
To my sister Andrea, thank you for teaching me that the root of bravery is self-acceptance.
To my sister Ashley, the eternal believer in love, thank you for giving me hope that there might be love for me.
To my Herculean father, thank you for teaching me that true strength lies not in the body, but within the heart.
Lastly, I must thank the person who has helped to cultivate my voice and my spirit; she is the epitome of scholarship and human kindness and understanding; she is the WO-MAN, and yes, my mommy, Dr. Valentina Abordonado.
And now onto my speech….
Eminent author and poet, Maya Angelou, once said:
"I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself."
Throughout my life, I have struggled to answer the simple question, "Where are you from?"
Due to my nomadic upbringing, I have been fortunate enough to have lived across the United States of America and in parts of Asia.
And yet, I have always wondered if there is a place where I could settle and ultimately, call home.
Coming to Hawai`i Pacific University, a place so rich with diversity, I have been able to meet people from across the globe. Namely, I have been fortunate to have befriended people from France, China, Germany, Sweden, Australia, Denmark, Kenya, Korea, and Japan, to name a few countries. All of these friends understand what it is like to live a culturally rich life, but at the same time, desperately search for a single place called home.
Like many nomads do, I continue to travel in search of answers. Last year I traveled Hokkaido, Japan on a study abroad program through Hawai`i Pacific University. It was there that I discovered where home is, not only for me, but essentially for all people.
There, I studied Japanese and conducted a field study on the Ainu People of Hokkaido. From time to time, I would stay at the Ainu village, known as Shiraoi. The Ainu people have most fascinating culture. They see themselves as extensions of the earth and extensions of each other. I became close with many of the Ainu people, and when it came time for me to part from them, I was told "You will also always belong with us, for we love you."
It was at that moment that I realized, home is not where one hangs their hat, rather, it is wherever you find yourself able to say the words, "I love you."
To every person that I have ever met or learned from: I want you all to know that there is an element of love in the connections we have made. It is within these connections that I find my home, and it is my hope that you all find a home in love.
I bid that you all live, laugh, and most of all, love.
Thank you.

My truck came with a fisher truck side plow setup, no plow though. so I picked up a mm2 for it. It worked up down side to side. I saw a light out but I just figured it needed a bulb. Great I put it away until the other day.
Got the plow out changed the fluid, filter cleaned up so rust a little paint and changed the bulb. Hmm still did not work. I took both lights apart rebuilt the parking/blinker sockets. Soldered the wires and heat shrinked everything. Cleaned the headlight sockets, plugged the headlights in damn the low beam drivers side still out. So I got out the power probe checked all the wiring it all checked out? So I gave up that day. I talked to a guy I know about it he said what color label is on the module? I said White #26400, He said that for a #ord or a #odge it will not work right in a GM you need a #27781 Green label, Great now I need a module. So I called Fisher plows in Maine,after a few emails and a couple of return calls from them,(they really called me and I only have a used plow!) They had me check wiring, plugs the way the truck headlights were plugged in nothing worked So I started looking on ebay for a used module, and then my phone rings it was the guy from Fisher in Maine. He wanted me to try something else. He had me make a jumper to go into the configuration plug jumped from the center B terminal to A terminal to change the ground to a common negative ground. It worked and everything works right.
So anyone reading this who is setting up a Fisher plow on a 03-07 Silverado you can use the more common #26400 white label 4 port module if you don't have a #27781 green label 4 port module. Just change the configuration plug from a blank to a jumper from The center B pin to right side A pin.
I have to give the tech at Fisher a ton of credit for researching above and beyond what he had to do to help me. A good American company!

"The right time to look at what more we could learn from an inquiry will be after our troops are no longer engaged in Iraq; but not while they are there," Mr Benn told the Guardian's survey of declared or putative candidates for the leadership and deputy leadership.
The Lords will tomorrow debate a Tory motion for an earlier investigation, citing the precedents of inquiries into the Falklands War in 1982, and the disaster at the Dardanelles during the first world war.
Yesterday the Guardian approached Labour politicians who have either announced their intention to stand or are seen as serious contenders. Peter Hain, John Reid, Alan Johnson, Hazel Blears, and Hilary Benn (all cabinet ministers) responded, as did Jon Cruddas and John McDonnell. Gordon Brown and David Miliband declined to answer the questions. Harriet Harman's office said she did not have time.
Candidates stood by their decision to back the war in the Commons vote in March 2003, albeit with caveats."Those of us who honestly took that decision at the time, now realise that the intelligence was plain wrong," said Mr Hain, the Northern Ireland secretary. Mr Johnson said: "Given all the same circumstances I would vote the same way."
Mr Benn and Ms Blears argued it was necessary to remove Saddam Hussein from power - although Mr Benn described the decision as one of the hardest he had ever made. Only backbencher Jon Cruddas has said he regrets his support for military action. John McDonnell, the leftwing backbencher and leadership candidate, voted against the war.

Broken Bells
It's hip to be a pair. Just look at the musical duos studding today's indie scene; with Zooey Deschanel and M.Ward forming She & Him, Beck writing and producing Charlotte Gainsbourg's latest album, and Brooklyn's MGMT nabbing a Best New Artist Grammy nomination, it's clear that two songwriting heads can often be better than one. Or three or four.
So it's no surprise that James Mercer of the Shins and acclaimed hip-hop leaning producer Danger Mouse, after meeting six years ago at a music festival, have ditched their respective company to form Broken Bells. Danger Mouse, nee Brian Burton, has produced for other alternative acts like Beck, Gorillaz, and the Black Keys, and he famously blended samples from the Beatles' White Album and Jay-Z's The Black Album to make The Grey Album in 2004. A multi-instrumentalist, he most notably teamed up with Cee-Lo Green in the middle of the decade to form the wildly successful hip-hop duo Gnarls Barkley. Mercer, a Kevin Spacey lookalike in possession of an aching falsetto and indie songwriting earnestness, has decided to strike out on his own, with the Shins currently caught in record label purgatory—they left Sub Pop for Mercer's own label, Aural Apothecary, in 2008, but a follow-up to Wincing the Night Away has yet to materialize.
So what do an indie rock lead singer and half of Gnarls Barkley have to sing about? If you're expecting something groundbreaking in artistry here, you might be disappointed. On the duo's self-titled debut LP, most of the songs sound like, well, Shins songs snaked into Danger Mouse trip hop beats. However, that's not always a cocktail for disappointment. First single "The High Road," released back in December, is a stunning electro-elixir that swoops between woodwinds and rhythm while Mercer waxes existential. "October" blends Beatles-type harmonies into a driving mélange, and Mercer wraps his falsetto around tinkling verses on the infectious "The Ghost Inside."
Sometimes the two artists' sounds combine beautifully, as with pipe organ and hand-claps on the grinding "Vaporize." "The Mall & Misery," despite its emo anthem-sounding title, is pepped up by crunching guitars and keyboards. Mercer has a fondness for writing opaque lyrics, but they're often buoyed by Mouse-y driving drums. Balance does both men well.
Burton's staccato beats keep each song's pace lively and fresh. His influences are sometimes orchestral, like on "Sailing to Nowhere" which explodes into tinkling piano riffs and Queen-like symphonic bridges. But Bells still seems like Mercer's show, creatively speaking; perhaps Burton still has room to grow as an artist rather than just a producer.
The sum is an album of melodic hi-fi indie in the vein of Beta Band and Elbow that's not exactly boring, but not quite memorable either. "Citizen" verges on twee with its xylophone taps, and "Trap Doors" sounds like a languishing Shins B-side ("You're preaching to the choir/so turn around.")
What does make Broken Bells sound fresh as an electronica outfit is their reliance on real instruments. They've already played a handful of live shows with a six-person band, with Burton on drums and joined by members of Conor Oberst's Mystic Valley band, rather than one guy in the back hunched over a MacBook and a subwoofer.
Broken Bells is interesting enough, but as far as Danger Mouse pair-ups go, I might still prefer Gnarls Barkley. Does that make me crazy?

After months of training, you might know a few basics about carbohydrates - such as pasta, potatoes and rice are good sources of carbohydrates, and the body turns these carbohydrates into energy. And, of course, you know that running a marathon requires an awful lot of energy.
However. you need to do more than eat a bowl of pasta the night before a race. A variety of different carbohydrate sources, such as pulses (chickpeas, kidney beans), oats and quinoa will ensure you get the best possible energy for your body.
Wholegrain options are important for fibre and are a better source of vitamins. However simpler carbs, such as white flour bread and pasta, biscuits and yoghurt, may be easier to digest around training.
RG Active explain why you need carbohydrates and the best way to load up on it before race day:

Internships.com Survey Reveals Companies Are Offering More Summer Internships in 2014
56% of Companies Plan to Hire More Interns in 2014 vs 2013 and 62% Plan to Implement a More Structured Internship Program
A new internships survey reveals that employer demand is up in the burgeoning internships market – companies are hiring more interns than ever before, and the data shows a continued growth and maturing of the internships market. Internship seeker demand is also on the rise: 67% of the college class of 2013 completed at least one internship during college – a 6% increase over last year and further growth is expected as students gear up for the 2014 summer internships season.
Internships.com, the world's largest internships marketplace, has released new survey results that reveal why employers hire interns, who gets hired, why students intern and how the internships calendar is affected by seasonality.
Conducted on November 26th, 2013 Internships.com surveyed more than 1,800 students & recent graduates as well as over 440 human resources and recruitment professionals on their internship activities and intentions.
The survey results show the continued growth and maturation of the internships market for both seekers and employers– as companies plan to hire significantly more interns in 2014 than they did in 2013:
Employer Demand is Up as Programs Become More Structured
- 56% of companies plan to hire more interns in 2014 than they did in 2013
- 62% of companies plan to implement a more structured internship program in 2014 as the market matures
Employers Hire Year-Round; Students Search Predominantly in the Summer
- 84% of employers offer summer internships, while 80% offer fall/winter internships and 78% offer spring internships – a consistent availability of year-round inventory
- 80% of students consider participating in summer internships while only 49% consider fall/winter internships and 51% consider spring internships. Summer internships are thus the most competitive for students to obtain.
Who Gets Hired and Why?
- Employers value interview performance and relevant internships / experience as the most important factors when hiring an intern
- 73% of companies with more than 100 employees list "finding full-time employees" as the main reason why they hire interns.
Good News for Recent Graduates: 88% of employers would consider internship applications from recent college graduates.
Students and Employers Love Internships: 84% of employers say hiring interns was a positive experience while 87% of students polled say that their internship was a positive experience.
Getting a Head Start: Students are interning earlier in their college careers. 48% land their first internship before their junior year.

Bug in analytical sum
Consider the following sum
f[k_] := Sum[n! (-I \[Alpha])^n Cos[\[Phi]/2]^n \[Alpha]^n Sin[\[Phi]/
2]^n, {n,
0, k}]/Sum[n! \[Alpha]^(2 n) Cos[\[Phi]/2]^(2 n), {n, 0, k}]
I am interested in taking alpha and k to infinity. Now clearly for
finite k this is just a rational function in alpha. So if we want to
take alpha to infinity we should get
(-i Tan[\[Phi]/2])^k.
But try this in Mathematica Limit[f[k], \[Alpha] -> \[Infinity]] and
you will get I Cot[\[Phi]/2]. This is Mathematica 7.0.0.
The reason seems to be that Mathematica evaluates the sum first and
obtains a fraction consisting of the incomplete gamma functions and Ei
integrals. It seems that the limits of those functions are not taken

Chikungunya spreading, 31 cases so far
The mosquito-borne chikungunya virus has made its way to other parts of the country with seven of the 12 newly confirmed cases coming from Regions 3, 4, 5 and the city.
Minister of Health Dr. Bheri Ramsaran in an interview with the Government Information Agency (GINA) yesterday said there were three cases from West Berbice: Bath Settlement, Bush Lot, and Number 9 Village, one each from Mahaicony and Ithaca, one from North Ruimveldt and one from Crane, West Coast Demerara, Region Three.
The Minister said that on July 1 upon receiving the results of samples that were sent to the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA) in Trinidad it was confirmed that the disease has spread.
The 12 more cases of the disease have brought the total number to 31 thus far, GINA said.
Ramsaran said it is unknown whether these individuals contracted the disease in Berbice where it first originated.
Prior to these new cases, there were 19 confirmed cases, all originating from the Canje, Berbice area, in Region Six. GINA said that in late May Guyana recorded it first cases, a toddler and a woman in her forties, both from the Canje area.
GINA said the ministry's vector control services immediately got into action and began conducting extensive fogging and spraying in the region.
Ramsaran said that due to the increase in the number of cases, heightened control methods will be put in place. He stressed that members of the public have to keep their surroundings clean to avoid mosquitoes breeding.
He noted that mosquitoes do not only breed in dirty water, but also fairly fresh and clean water. He said further public health measures are still ongoing across the City to eliminate adult mosquitoes.
According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website: "The most common symptoms of chikungunya virus infection are fever and joint pain.
Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash. Outbreaks have occurred in countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Indian and Pacific Oceans. In late 2013, chikungunya virus was found for the first time in the Americas on islands in the Caribbean.
The disease was first reported in the Caribbean in December 2013, and has since touched Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, French Guiana, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Guyana, Haiti, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Saint Barthelemy, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Martin, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Maarten, Suriname, Turks and Caicos Islands, and US Virgin Islands.
Members of the opposition have criticized the government over the handling of the chikungunya threat. Last month APNU parliamentarians Dr. Karen Cummings and Dr. George Norton both sounded concern over the growing number of cases in Guyana.
Cummings said that she is concerned that the problem is raising from endemic to epidemic even as health officials have said that it is under control. "
Norton said, "I am a little worried when the authorities are saying that 'we have it under control' but they are concentrated on fogging only in the Berbice area. I hope they are not waiting for it to reach Georgetown before they start fogging in Georgetown and in other areas."
Leader of the coalition David Granger also echoed similar sentiments. "Guyana has a serious problem with vector borne diseases in general and many of these diseases are spreading because of poor public health practices, poor sanitation," he said.

On Friday's final episode of the NBC
genealogy show "Who Do You Think You Are?" TV chef Paula Deen crisscrossed the
state of Georgia tracing her maternal roots.
Deen's parents died when she was a
young woman, so not much family information had made its way to
her. The show focused on her third-great-grandfather
John Batts, a slaveowning planter and member of the Georgia
legislature from 1857 to 1860.
Batts' son William (brother to Deen's great-great-grandmother Eliza Batts) fought for the
confederates in the 12th Georgia regiment during the Civil War.
The Georgia Archives actually had letters he'd written home,
as well as letters from his commanding officer. These missives gave Deen an
intimate view into William's experiences and his family's reaction
after he was killed in action.
At Fold3—the first time I can remember
this subscription site being shown on WDYTYA?—Deen finds John
Batts' application for a pardon from the US government. Most of the
South was covered by President
Andrew Johnson's blanket pardon, but wealthy planters like
Batts had to swear loyalty and provide documentation they'd freed
their slaves.
Tax records at Emory University show
John Batts' fate. Things went downhill for the family after an economic depression in 1873.
Deen and a researcher note declining values of John's personal
and real estate until 1879, when the records show all zeros. A
newspaper article reveals that John, sadly, had committed suicide.
Although "Who
Do You Think You Are?" won't be returning next season, GeneaBloggers
reports that for the first time this season, the episode
came in first for viewership in its time slot and was the
third-most-watched show for the evening.
These two short videos show research not included in Friday's episode, about Deen's
fifth-great-grandfather Joel Walker, an early Georgia settler in
the Savannah area.

So, the show: Actor and comedian Jason Sudeikis researched his dad's paternal line, discovering a legacy of sons who grew up without their dads.
A death record told Sudeikis his dad's dad, Stanley, died young, at age 32, from a fall, and shared a residence in Chicago with an unknown woman who was the informant on the record. A coroner's investigation shed more light on the situation: The woman was a cousin who testified that Stanley abused alcohol and slept in the park.
Court records showed Sudeikis his grandmother had filed for a legal separation from her husband because he'd abandoned the family. He'd never met Sudeikis dad.
It turned out he was living what he knew. In census and marriage records, Sudeikis found that Stanley's father, Stanley Sr., had abandoned his first wife (Sudeikis' great-grandmother) and married another woman in Connecticut. There was no record of a divorce from the earlier marriage.
Stanley Sr.'s father died in Pennsylvania in a mining accident when his son was a boy.
Not all family legacies are positive, but I like how this episode shows family history can be rewarding even when you're learning some sad truths. At the end of the episode, Sudeikis honors his dad for breaking a cycle, and being a great father even though he didn't have a model to follow.

Subscription genealogy website Ancestry.com announced the addition of the site's 10 billionth record today.
The announcement pointed out that its collection, which has grown 150 percent in the last three years, "is larger than those of all other online family history sites combined." On average, the site has added 55 million records a month since the website went online 15 years ago.
The earliest digitized records are wills executed in London in 1507. The earliest record indexes date back to marriage licenses and probated wills in Dublin from 1270. The most popular collection remains the US census.

1000memories today launched its ShoeBox app for Android and a redesigned version of the app for iPhone. The app is designed to make your phone a sort of portable scanner: You "scan" a photo by snapping a picture of it, then upload the photo to your 1000memories site.
ShoeBox can auto-detect the edges of a photo and crop and straighten it. Users can add dates, names, locations and other information about the picture.
The newest version of the app for Android and iPhone lets users seamlessly organize scans into different collections and instantly share them with certain people using their mobile devices and the 1000memories site.
We blogged about the October 2011 debut of Shoebox for the iPhone here. Following that launch, ShoeBox became one of the top three free apps in the photography category and top two in the family history category.

Review: And the Miss Ran Away with the Rakeby admin
And the Miss Ran Away with the Rake by Elizabeth Boyle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This story was a funny and light read.
I found the prologue amusing – the set up of Henry Seldon by his brother, who placed an advertisement in the paper for him to find a wife. He's about to burn them all when his sister insists that he must write every single one of the women who wrote him back. Of course, as he's going through them, he comes across a letter from a certain someone he starts a correspondence with…
Daphne Dale doesn't know she is corresponding with Henry Seldon. He's using a fake name – Mr. Dishforth to be exact – and she, Miss Spooner. Truth is, if they knew who the other were, they'd both have gone running in the opposite direction due to a long history of hating each others family name.
This is such a great set up! Because they meet – and they both look at each other and "realize" they belong together…but before they can tell each other their secret identities, their families swoop in and both are left going wtf, how can this be???
Of course, this leads to a lovely chase of who will find out and when? They can't help but be attracted to each other, and it's sweet. It really is. These two were made for each other! ^.^
I also loved the epilogue.

Here we are, well into the 21st century, in the middle of another political campaign, and we still have not achieved the promise of "one person, one vote."
The ancient and decrepit institution of the Electoral College lives on. But by gifting all the electoral votes of that state to the majority winner of each state, even if the majority is one voter, we leave half of the voters of that state disenfranchised.
We should abolish the Electoral College (it was created to please slave-holding states who wanted their nonvoting slaves counted as part of that state's population, giving them more votes), and we should institute direct elections of our president and vice president.

You can guess where I stand on this otherwise I wouldn't be writing this blog and others like it ...
Yesterday I was a guest speaker in an Axios webinar, called "Using ITSM to Increase Business User Satisfaction and the Perception of IT," during which we ran four audience polls. I thought it would be great to share the poll results and my thoughts.
The webinar story arc …
I set the scene using many of my favorite graphics including the following which shows the gulf between the business' and IT's own opinions of how well the average internal IT organizations is doing …
… Before starting to look at how what we do and measure either increases or decreases the customer experience – including the fact that we often seem to be too focused on what we do in IT rather than what we achieve through what we do in IT (and IT service management (ITSM)). I also included a section on common metrics issues which I've previous blogged on here and here; and the customer experience work of my Forrester colleagues and its applicability to internal IT.
The poll results and my thoughts …
1. Do you consider the people that consume your IT services to be:
Posted by Kyle McNabb on February 11, 2013
I'm bullish on software — specifically design and engineering — and I'm starting to see that many of today's business leaders share that opinion as they come to terms with digital disruption and the age of the customer's impact on their competitive strategies. I hear this often as I travel to meet with both business and IT leaders, and I increasingly see it in the survey data we annually collect. What do I see in our most recent Forrsights Business Decision-Makers Survey, Q4 2012 and Forrsights Software Survey, Q4 2012 results? Software, from design through development, matters:
Posted by Stephen Mann on February 1, 2013
A Forrester-client inquiry call last night and the creation of some slides for a webinar with Axios really got me thinking about how we measure our success in IT. It just seemed so easy to take the IT version of success (and the associated measures) and create a snide customer retort. It's a little tongue-in-cheek but please take a read of one of my Axios slides:
I'm sure there are many more to play with.

Nocturnal Enuresis: The Child's Experience
This accessible book describes with clarity and sensitivity the possible approaches to assessment, treatment, monitoring and evaluation of care. The text follows a logical sequence and includes quotes and drawings from children, diagrams and useful text summaries. Emphasis throughout is on the child's perspective. For example, their views on different types of enuresis alarm treatment are recorded - (a form of 'consumer' acceptability testing). The child's role in treatment has until recently been neglected, with only the clinician's and parents' views being seriously considered. Recent work has demonstrated that the child's contribution is essential in designing effective intervention. Although firmly rooted in clinical practice the text is guided by research findings and appropriate references are provided. Anyone whose work involves children will find this a handy and sympathetic little book.

253 Tasting Notes
First steep @ 94°C for 2 min: creamy, buttery notes first, which subtly give way to something reminiscent of leafy greens, with the slightest hint of sweetness.
Second steep @ 95°C for 4 min: Like the first, but much more delicious!
Third steep @ 96°C for 5 min: Almost identical in taste to the first, less flavourful than the second.
Fourth steep @ 98°C for 7 min: Still delicious.
I thought people were joking when they said that this tastes like cake batter or cupcakes. How can an infusion from funny-looking leaves + nuts taste like baking?
Then I took a sip of my mom's to-go cup of this. And I had to eat my words.
It legit tastes like cake batter! How is this possible?? I don't know and I don't care, I'm just going to drink up.
I rarely have a problem with tea. Black, green, white, red, herbal, it takes a lot for a tea to disappoint me. I can count on one hand the teas in the past that I have brewed then dumped, Forbidden Fruit, Jumpy Monkey, and The Skinny amoung them. Sadly I now have to add this one to the list and I'm probably just reiterating what the other reviews have already said…
This tasted really, really strange to me. Initially it tasted like the tea was musty or fermented, and AFTERTASTE started to taste like Cherry Cola, but first you've got to get past the strange flavours. I tried it both hot (blech), iced (Cherry Cola flavour came through a little more) and iced with sweetened condensed milk (addiction much?). The only tolerable way to drink this was the latter… and even then I really had to force myself.
Sigh. Now I'm sad because I was ever so hopeful that this tea would be amazing…
I rarely dislike any tea, but I'm with you on that one! It has this strange unpleasant taste, and it's so overpowering.
Smells like grapefruit? Hmmm, interesting.
Now I know that Swampwater is supposed to be the tea you brew for kids, but, no sooner had I taken this out of the fridge—after brewing it for 10 minutes, straining, then placing it there to cool—then my 18-month-old hold her sippy cup out to me. She's probably thirsty and I prefer to fill it with cold tea, instead of juice, anyways. I hand her the full cup and she literally starts drinking without stopping for a breath! Either she's really thirsty of she really loves this tea. Probably a combination of both! Looks like this will be in full rotation this summer as I brew it up for my daughter to drink.
Now, what do I think of it? I find it's a really flavourful brew, especially when you just leave it for a bit, then strain and chill. I could see it being a little on the weak side if you brewed it then poured it over ice, so to get maximum flavour I recommend steeping it for 10+ minutes, straining it, then forgetting it in the fridge for a day so it reached peak coldness.
Trust me on this one, have I ever lead you astray before?
Recipe for the perfect iced Root Beer Float:
‣ Root Beer Float tea, brewed extra strong
‣ ice
‣ sweetened condensed milk
‣ tall glass
Add a couple tablespoons of the sweetened condensed milk (that is, if your husband hasn't found it already and nearly polished off the whole can!) to a tall glass filled with ice. Pour the extra-strong brewed tea* over the ice + milk, stir, and enjoy!
*I highly recommend letting the tea cool in the fridge for a couple hours, otherwise nearly all of the ice melts, but if you want instant gratification (like I did today) feel free to pour the hot tea over ice.
Hot: Not really my "cuppa tea" (har har), reminding me too much of forgotten, day-old root beer that's turned flat and warm. However, I remember one of the sales-associates recommending this with milk and ice. Hmmm, worth a shot…
Iced: So, I mixed in some sweetened condensed milk instead of just milk and sugar, poured the whole mixture over ice and, oh. monkeys. It's creamy, delicious root-beer-float-goodness without all the calories of ice cream! I never thought I'd see the day, but it's here and it's delicious. I'm not really sure how else to describe it…
This sounds so delicious! I can never seem to take the time to actually make ice drinks like this, otherwise I'd try this.
Reminds me of Green & Fruity, but I've never tried bamboo leaves before. We'll see how this goes!
Hot: I wasn't really a fan, like drinking warm fruitopia or something. So, I put the whole shebang in the fridge overnight and…
Cold: So, so, so much better! Taste-wise it reminds me a lot of Green & Fruity, but cooler somehow. I can see what they mean about bamboo leaves being "cooling" because it somehow just feels like drinking liquid cold (and I didn't even add any ice to it). Definitely a refreshing summertime beverage full of light, tropical flavour. Drink up!
I was eating a piece of rich chocolate cake and needed a nice black tea to accompany it… boy, did I make the right choice with this one!
I'm not going to rate it, since the magic in my mouth of both chocolate cake + Salted Caramel tea was pretty delicious, but didn't really give me a good taste of the unadulterated tea. However, the combination of the two was a match made in heaven, with the creamy astringency of the tea cutting through the richness of the cake. Like both drinking and eating a caramilk bar. Yes, it's just as awesome as it sounds!
So, if you ever need something to pair with that rich, velvety slice of chocolate-ganache-delight look no further than this tea, your taste buds with thank you. And probably have a party in your mouth. Where everyone is eating cake. And drinking tea. Caramel tea.

Pros: + weight loss
Cons: lumps/rope-like ripples on my abdomen, very painful procedure
I had SmartLipo because I had some stubborn areas of fat that were very difficult to lose by exercising (my abdomen and flanks)
I had "Smart Lipo" done 3 weeks ago on my flanks and upper and lower abdomen. I now have lumps/rope-like ripples on my mid-abdomen near my navel. I am worried that this may be permanent. I am also worried that my Dr. did not perform Smart Lipo correctly.
The procedure began with him making the incisions, separating the layers, and then he began to suction. As a final step, he used the laser. My understanding is that the laser is to be used PRIOR to suctioning to liquify the fat and aid in its removal. What should I do?
