Resolved Question: this my health and physical education oral aye tell me what you think?

Hello Mr G and class mates. This oral presentation will explain to you how “women in sport gain sufficient recognition by the media in the 21st century than in previous decades” and how this can still be improved. The relationship between sport and the media has become so close that without the media the sporting world would collapse. The main income for sport comes from the media, as the media attracts big money through sponsorship and advertisements. The money from this helps clubs to be able to buy and import better players to make the game allot more interesting, the clubs can also use this money to upgrade, build and repair stadiums along with giving the players salaries. Without promotion of sport through the media there would be no new young talent coming through and the sport would become boring and people would loose interest in it. Media has a large impact on games and often games will often be revolved around add breaks. Ever since sport has been broadcast on television games have been changed to attract a wider audience, like one day cricket for example was formed in 1977 because of the media influence to attract a wider audience. A quote from the editor of, the economist (20 July 1996) “The lure of money is already altering sport and will change it more. Increasingly games will be reorganised to turn them into better television.”(p 367). The Medias involvement in sport is constantly becoming more important. Sports relationship with the media started out small but become much closer with advancement in technology. Ever since the media has become involved in sport it has rapidly become a very profitable business. Sport was first introduced into the media in 1956 but had a minimal affect due to lack of communication tools and technology. Then in the 1970’s with the development of technology sport had another go with the world cricket series being televised for the first time to a television audience of 1 million people, from then on the relationship between sport and the media blossomed and were then inextricably linked. Quote Jacques Marchand (1994) “At the start, the marriage of sport and the media was a love match. It later became a marriage of convenience and today, with the advent of [global] television, it has become, in addition, a marriage based on money.” (p 367) Since the beginning of sport it has been male dominated and it is only really in the past couple of years women have started to gain some recognition. The messages the media send about women and women’s sport have a large influence on how female athletes and sports are accepted in society. Women have come a long way in sports from only being able to view sporting events if they were unmarried virgins or prostitutes to now being able to participate and compete in almost every kind of sport, but they still get almost no recognition whatsoever. Women often have to pose either nude or in bikinis due to lack of coverage and promotion. For example in 2000 to gain media publicity, the Australian soccer team had to pose nude in a calendar shoot. In the courier mail on the 12 of November 2008 there were only three news articles on women’s sport out of the thirty eight sport articles there. One of the articles was about tennis player Daniela Hantuchova here is the article I have highlighted the parts I believe that women in sport constantly have to endure (pass it around the room) look at the bottom of that one it says. “Hantuchova has sustained her carrier well after many years in which a battle to keep weight on her thin 181cm frame was closely monitored by the international media.” That is an example of the media controlling how sporting women look. The last time a female was on the front page of a news paper or featured on the news was during the Olympics, but still it was images of the girls wearing their tight swim suits or other tight clothes and only featured the attractive girls, yet another example of sexism. The other articles are about the Firebirds net ball team and it mainly spoke about re-signing Tasmin greenway the “English stunner” the article was alright but focused on her looks, And the other article was about the sports stars of the year with a tiny space in the bottom of the page and a photo of Stephanie Rice even though the actual article mentioned her once and was mainly about men. The media have so much control they can do almost anything they like, for example with the women’s beach volleyball they have changed the design of outfits to tiny bikinis, and use many different camera angles to let guys have a “perve” when the girls go to serve, there is a nice close up of their bums. Female beach volleyball has a predominately male auidence due to the media changing the rules to attract a male auidence. Women need to get more recognition for what they have done for the sporting world, often they are the higher achievers then the males. Take the Olympics for example, the majority of the medals cam  more

Resolved Question: What do you think of this as a college English 101 essay? Any comments would be greatly appreciated?

Almost all elementary students across America are presented with a reading log on the first day of school, some believe this to be useful to a fulfilled education but some think that this is only holding our ideas back and making us not want to read. So many parents, teachers, or just plain individuals have been questioning the usefulness and intent of this so called reading log. A few of the people who have debated over the worthiness of a reading log are Mr. Richard Roundy, Mrs. Jodi Fur, and Miss Vicki Young. These individuals are completely different people but they all have at least one thing in common, their fascination with required reading logs. One of these individuals is Mrs. Jodi Fur. Fur and her husband continually read to their children and both find it soothing that they live in a home where their children “will sneak a flashlight under their covers to finish a book way after bedtime”. In her rant, “I hate Reading…Logs”, Fur states how appalled she is that schools actually “use food and candy as rewards” for reading. She goes on to say that reading logs only stress out her children and how it is even worse that these students only read for a reward, the joy of books is lost. Fur wants her children to enjoy reading for themselves, not just for the reward of a snickers bar. At the end of her rant Fur makes her stance on the issue clear by firmly stating that “I just don’t believe required reading logs are fundamentally important for every single student from Kindergarten to 12th grade.” Unlike Jodi Fur, eighth grade teacher Mr. Richard Roundy finds it quite helpful towards his students to include a numbered list of ideas for reading logs in the curriculum at the beginning of the year. Instead of simply telling his students what to read Roundy gives them a wide variety, the only rules are that they must choose a book they want to read form the classroom library, the school library, or any other source. The students are then required to write a two-page reading log that must be handed in every week. To really get his students into reading all types of literature Roundy does not limit these logs to fiction, but permits the use of biographies, poetry, and some non-fiction. He also allows his students to feel free by giving them the option to “choose which type of logs they will write, with one rule: they are only allowed to choose option #7 (drawing a picture) once per book. I’ve received many interesting and creative reading logs that were inspired by option #12 (use your imagination to invent your own type of log)”. The following is an example of a readers log completed by one of his current students, a violinist, who enjoys reading biographies of famous composers. “He wrote one short violin piece for each of the books her read. He played the piece for me then handed in a paragraph about how the piece related to the composer’s music or life. He enjoyed the reading, he made meaningful connections between reading and a personal pursuit, and both of us enjoyed his playing”. This student fulfilled exactly what Roundy wanted out of his students, “the idea that is not only to get students hooked on reading, but to get them hooked on being thoughtful about what they read”. The complete opposite of Richard Roundy would have to be Miss Vicki Young. Instead of allowing her students to be flexible, Young stuck to a more structured style while assigning reading logs. Young “incorporated reading logs in a course of English for economics and finance which focused on communication skills in an international business environment”. Just to see how her students took this new way of doing things, Young asked her students to fill out a questionnaire concerning the reading log activity. About two-thirds of her “students agreed that reading logs helped familiarize them with terms, issues, and writing styles in the field of business”. One student went so far as to comment that the “logs were meaningful and broadened his knowledge” on business related topics. Instead of only focusing on the business aspect of everything, about 50% of her students “believed that the activity actually helped with their writing skills”. About “76% felt that their understanding of the article was enhanced after writing in their logs”. Many students stated that by sharing their logs with a partner they “were exposed to a variety of topics in the field. The activity gave them a chance to practice their spoken English and share their ideas with the class”. Although most students were thrilled by the reading activities and being paired up for discussions, they were “less positive towards writing and whole-class discussion”. The only reason why they had a less positive attitude towards writing and whole-class discussions was because they were worried about grammar errors, the clarity of their ideas as they showed their logs to their partners, and also about speaking English in front of  more

International Payment Auditor Minister of Finance Federal Republic of Nigeria www.fmf.gov.ng My Dear Friend, I am Mrs. Christiana Morrison, the International Payment Auditor Federal Ministry of Finance Nigeria , I know this mail will surprise you but you have to bear with me over the explanations of matters over this join business, very important I saw your contact on Internet when I was searching for trustful person to help with this deal. On December 6th, 2000 , the Federal Government of Nigeria award a contract of Aba Port Harcourt road construction to Mr. George Brumley Jr, the contract value eighty two million united state dollars (US$82,000,000.00) and the Federal Government of Nigeria paid the contractor (Mr. George Brumley Jr) his contract part payment sum of US$40,000,000.00 In contract agreement started that the contract balance will be paid after completion of the contract and the contract was completed on 26th July 2002, it was last year that the Contract Awarding Office, Contract Clearance Office, Presidential Office and Central Bank of Nigeria approve issuing a secular for this payment the contract balance. Upon maturity, we have sent notification to his forwarding address over his secular approve for payment US$42,000,000.00 but got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder we discovered from his contract employer that Mr. George Brumley Jr had died. Further investigations conducted by me indicated that he neither left a WILL nor a contactable next of kin or a relation in his entire official document. You can confirm the genuineness of the deceased death by clicking on this website: http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/africa/07/20/kenya.crash/index.html http://www.legacy.com/Obituaries.asp?Page=LifeStory&PersonId=1177881 This amount is still available to be paid, According to our Country’s Law, at the expiration of 8 (eight) years, this money will be reverted to the Ownership of the Government, which in turn will end up in the hands of some very corrupt and unscrupulous Government Officials. Consequently, as International Payment Auditor Federal Ministry of Finance Nigeria my proposal is that, I will like you to stand in as his beneficiary next of kin, so that this old man’s fruit of labor does not get into the hands of uncaring Government Officials. There are legions of less privileged people all over the world for whom a meal is like paradise. I feel that other than allowing this money to disappear, it will be more useful and beneficial to give it out to charitable Organizations. I need your assistance to stand in as his next of kin and claim this money. You will personally apply directly for the release of this fund while I shall back you up with all the relevant documents concerned with the contract details including documents for this payment release.

This letter or the affidavit will enable you claim this money which would then be transferred to you into a foreign account which you will provide. I wish to point out that I want 30% of this money to be shared among the charity Organizations, while the remaining 70% is shared equally between us. This proposition is entirely risk free. I will hire attorney that would provide expert services after the submission of the affidavit of oath and contract award certificate to Contract Clearance Office which I will provide while I will use my position in the office to guarantee the successful execution of this transaction.

Voting Question: Advice on graduate school, I am so confused and don't know what I qualify for?

I am a senior in college, graduating this spring, and I really want to get into a master's program and hopefully offered some type of funding. I will be graduating with a bachelor's degree in communication studies and international business minor. I want to get my master's in communication studies with an emphasis in intercultural communication. I would like to get my master's degree first and then puruse a PhD. However I am not sure as to what graduate schools will take me and what types of schools I should target for. I would love to attend University of Maryland, Univresity of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, or University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. However I don't know if I will get accepted there, and I am aiming too high. I don't want to apply for these programs if I don't stand a chance. There are other smaller universities that I think that I could in for sure and offered funding. I have a GPA of 3.25, thought I have not taken the GRE yet I am planning on taking it in November. Additionally I have worked at the admissions office all through college, had some great internship opportunities, and have some great letters of recommendation. I have also studied abroad for a semester and taken some statistics courses. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!  more

Resolved Question: What are my chances of getting into graduate school?

I'm graduating in April with a BA in Communication Studies and international business minor. I have a GPA of 3.25, and I also have 3 strong letters of recommendation. I want to get into a master's program at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, University of Maryland College Park, or University of Wisconsin Madison. In college I was actively invovled, worked at the admissions office, studied abroad. In addition I have some foreign language and statistics experience. I was going to minor in statistics but dropped it, so I have taken some statistics course. I have not yet taken the GRE, but I am in November. Do I have a chance, or are these schools out of my range??  more

Resolved Question: How do you Feel about Israel spying on the US?

Since the late 1990s, federal agents have reported systemic communications security breaches at the Department of Justice, FBI, DEA, the State Department, and the White House. Several of the alleged breaches, these agents say, can be traced to two hi-tech communications companies, Verint Inc. (formerly Comverse Infosys), and Amdocs Ltd., that respectively provide major wiretap and phone billing/record-keeping software contracts for the U.S. government. Together, Verint and Amdocs form part of the backbone of the government’s domestic intelligence surveillance technology. Both companies are based in Israel – having arisen to prominence from that country’s cornering of the information technology market – and are heavily funded by the Israeli government, with connections to the Israeli military and Israeli intelligence (both companies have a long history of board memberships dominated by current and former Israeli military and intelligence officers). Verint is considered the world leader in “electronic interception” and hence an ideal private sector candidate for wiretap outsourcing. Amdocs is the world’s largest billing service for telecommunications, with some $2.8 billion in revenues in 2007, offices worldwide, and clients that include the top 25 phone companies in the United States that together handle 90 percent of all call traffic among U.S. residents. The companies’ operations, sources suggest, have been infiltrated by freelance spies exploiting encrypted trapdoors in Verint/Amdocs technology and gathering data on Americans for transfer to Israeli intelligence and other willing customers (particularly organized crime). “The fact of the vulnerability of our telecom backbone is indisputable,” says a high level U.S. intelligence officer who has monitored the fears among federal agents. “How it came to pass, why nothing has been done, who has done what – these are the incendiary questions.” If the allegations are true, the electronic communications gathered up by the NSA and other U.S. intelligence agencies might be falling into the hands of a foreign government. Reviewing the available evidence, Robert David Steele, a former CIA case officer and today one of the foremost international proponents for “public intelligence in the public interest,” tells me that “Israeli penetration of the entire US telecommunications system means that NSA's warrantless wiretapping actually means Israeli warrantless wiretapping.” As early as 1999, the National Security Agency issued a warning that records of U.S. government telephone calls were ending up in foreign hands – Israel’s, in particular. In 2002, assistant U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Diegelman issued an eyes only memo on the matter to the chief information technology (IT) officers at the Department of Justice. IT officers oversee everything from the kind of cell phones agents carry to the wiretap equipment they use in the field; their defining purpose is secure communications. Diegelman’s memo was a reiteration, with overtones of reprimand, of a new IT policy instituted a year earlier, in July 2001, in an internal Justice order titled “2640.2D Information Technology Security.” Order 2640.2D stated that “Foreign Nationals shall not be authorized to access or assist in the development, operation, management or maintenance of Department IT systems.” This might not seem much to blink at in the post-9/11 intel and security overhaul. Yet 2640.2D was issued a full two months before the Sept. 11 attacks. What group or groups of foreign nationals had close access to IT systems at the Department of Justice? Israelis, according to officials in law enforcement. One former Justice Department computer crimes prosecutor tells me, speaking on background, “I’ve heard that the Israelis can listen in to our calls.” Retired CIA counterterrorism and counterintelligence officer Philip Giraldi says this is par for the course in the history of Israeli penetrations in the U.S. He notes that Israel always features prominently in the annual FBI report called “Foreign Economic Collection and Industrial Espionage” – Israel is second only to China in stealing U.S. business secrets. The 2005 FBI report states, for example, “Israel has an active program to gather proprietary information within the United States. These collection activities are primarily directed at obtaining information on military systems and advanced computing applications that can be used in Israel’s sizable armaments industry.” A key Israeli method, warns the FBI report, is computer intrusion. I am refering to the patriot act actually the NSA is who is spying and the companies they use are Israeli so The Israeli's are spying on america FOR the U.S government how stupid is that!  more

Resolved Question: Personal statement???? how should i end it?

My grandparents are successful entrepreneurs owning a chain of Chinese restaurants and a factory producing soya bean products in Scotland. Therefore from early childhood, I was exposed to a business related environment. I enjoy the many challenges of running a business; however I realised that a business evolves and problems arise through economic cycles. Hence unless I get a good grounding in Business Studies at university I would not be able to meet these challenges. More importantly, at school I enjoy Business studies, Economics and Art which I took for my A-Levels and Mathematics for my AS. I think these subjects’ compliments each other really well and will bring great advantages to my Higher Education in Business. I believe having a good understanding in Economics will be a good foundation for Business, also my interest in Art enables me to be innovative and think ‘outside the box’ which is one of the key elements in Business Studies. A good understanding in Maths will also benefit me from further education in Business as managing finance is a fundamental part in the subject. I took Business Management in standard grade and A-Level; it has always been my strongest subject and the subject which I enjoy the most. So I wish to continue my enthusiasm in the subject at university. I am currently completing the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland (CIOBS) qualification, which is really beneficial to my further studies in business and helped me to understand the workings of the banking industry(I.e. how the market customers, how the banking industry evolved and the financial side of it.) I am fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin which I believe is a great advantage since the Asian market is growing rapidly and by speaking the language and having a good understanding of their cultures will be very valuable for understanding International business. In August 2007, I was presented with the opportunity to work as a full time “Administrative Assistant” for Capital Artists Ltd, a venture division of SCMP group in Hong Kong. The company dealt some of the biggest names in the Hong Kong and International music industry. My main responsibility within the company was to ensure there were no copyright infringements on songs owned by the company. This job opportunity also helped me to improve my communication skills as I had to establish a working relationship with my boss and other employees who were more mature and knowledgeable than me. In addition, provided me with a deeper insight of the music industry – its inner workings and evolving problems. During my work experience I was able to apply my knowledge of Business Studies into real life situations and problems such as strategic planning. Having the position as a House prefect and Art Reputation at school, I’ve learnt the importance responsibility and developed a good communication skill as I was given tasks to fulfil and had to find ways of bonding and taking care of younger students. Being a black belt (1st Dan) in Karate has taught me to be really hard working and ambitious. feedbacks?  more

Resolved Question: From this side by side analysis, who has more experience? Obama or Palin?

*I did not do this research 1980 - 1984 Obama: B.A. in political science with a specialization in international relations from Columbia University. Palin: Wasilla High School, captain of the state-champion basketball team. Miss Wasilla, runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant, also Miss Congeniality, although that is now disputed. 1985 - 1990 Obama: moved to Chicago; became a community organizer as director of the Developing Communities Project (DCP), a church-based community organization on Chicago's far South Side. During his three years as the DCP's director, its staff grew from 1 to 13 and its annual budget grew from $70,000 to $400,000, with accomplishments including helping set up a job training program, a college preparatory tutoring program, and a tenants' rights organization.

Town budget, $8 million (3 millionths of the Federal budget), approximately 100 employees. Reduced property taxes but increased sales taxes. Fired the Wasilla police chief, citing a failure to support her administration. (He then sued Palin on the grounds that he was fired because he supported the campaign of Palin's opponent, but his suit was dismissed when the judge ruled that Palin had the right under state law to fire city employees, even for political reasons.) Hired a DC lobbyist to bring $27 million in earmarks to the city. Wasilla had zero debt when she entered office but she left it with indebtedness of over $22 million, including $15 million-plus for construction of a hockey center which was built on a piece of property that the city didn’t even have clear title to, a matter that is still in litigation. Attempted to ban books from the city library. 2001 - 2004 Obama: reelected in 2002 and became chairman of the Illinois Senate's Health and Human Services Committee. Publicly spoke out against the invasion of Iraq BEFORE the congressional authorization in 2002, and then again before the actual invasion in 2003.

However, Alaska kept the federal money. Denied her daughter was pregnant before she confirmed it. Supported abstinence-only education.Currently under a bipartisan investigation for abuse of power for dismissing Alaska's Public Safety Commissioner. continuation: Commander-in-Chief of the Alaska National Guard, but has played no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. (The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.) Obtained her first passport in 2007 to perform visits to the Alaska National Guard in Kuwait and Germany. (Foreign experience so limited that a stopover in Ireland listed on her resume.) Let me tell you what I got from this: Obama is NOT inexperienced. He has done a LOT and has shown a lot of potential. I posted this because of republicans thinking Palin had the same amount of experience as Obama. They are blatantly wrong. IF YOU DIDNT READ THE INFORMATION KINDLY SHUT YOUR MOUTH. IF YOU ARE HONESTLY SO BLIND AS TO NOT SEE THE SITUATION THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO EVEN ATTEMPT TO DEBATE ANYTHING, EVER. I AM TYPING IN CAPS TO GET YOUR ATTENTION SINCE YOUR TOO LAZY TO READ ANYTHING ELSE. Honestly guys, executive experience doesn't mean jack shit, especially less than 2 years of it. I'm getting a little tired of that point.  more

Resolved Question: Why do some conservatives insist Palin is even more qualified or experienced than Obama?

Sarah Palin graduated from a community college in Idaho with a degree in communications-journalism. She worked briefly as a sports reporter for local television before becoming mayor of a town with a population of at the time under 5000. After leaving the town with a debt of $20 million, she became governor of Alaska, the state with the second-smallest population, for just two years before being announced as John McCain's running mate. Barack Obama graduated from Columbia University with a degree in political science. After four years in New York City working at the Business International Corporation and the New York Public Interest Research Group, he moved to Chicago to work as a community organizer for three years as director of the Developing Communities Project. He then entered Harvard Law School where he became the first black president of the Law Review. Obama graduated magna cum laude three years later. He went on to teach constitutional law at the University of Chicago for twelve years, while also working at a law firm. In 1996 he was elected to the Illinois Senate, and later was nominated for US Senate. He was sworn in as senator in 2005, and announced his candidacy for president in early 2007. He has written two books. Seems like a no-brainer to me. And YES, I AM AWARE PALIN IS NOT RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT. This is just a response to the people who reply to accusations of her being inexperienced by calling Obama even moreso. You want a source? Go look up their Wikipedia entries, their websites, news articles, whatever. This info is all over the place and none of it is hyperbole or taken out of context. Lydia: becoming governor of a state with the population of a medium-sized city doesn't seem like too hard of a task for a politician. And she has done absolutely nothing to get the VP pick other than being a pretty face to lure Hillary supporters with. Obama has worked his way up to the top, in contrast with McCain who married his way into wealth and power. And I love it how you imply that Palin has better judgment than Obama. Just look at this: http://dailykos.com/storyonly/2008/8/30/121350/137/486/580223 Particularly the part that talks about the baby's birth. That really shows great judgment on her part!  more

Resolved Question: How do I find myself as I finish college, I feel so lost and down?

I'm 20 years old and a senior in college. For the past year and a half I've felt so lost. I've felt like there's more to life than what I'm experiencing right now. I go to college about 3 hours away from home and that's what I wanted to do. I wanted to get out of my small town and see what else was out there. I've traveled overseas to study abroad, but now I'm not excited about graduating. A part of me feels like I should go back home because I feel like I'm not as close to my family as my sister who still lives back home. I always need the reassurance of others, and I tend to think that everyone else has it so much better than me. I also define myself a lot by what people tell me. I am pretty outgoing, but also stand offish. I'm not as excited about life as I used to be. I used to want to move away from home, but now my life away from home isn't as exciting. It seems like I have my act together, I'm graduating with a communications and international business degree. I have a boyfriend of over 2 years and lots of close friends, most are from high school still, but i keep in touch with them. im involved in clubs, but i just feel so lost within myself. i just want to feel content instead of always searching. people that have their passion seem to know exactly who they are, and i dont know what that is for me. i love traveling, different cultures, shopping, photography, but i guess i dont know who i am. also i feel like i always have to be talking with someone. if im alone, i just sit on yahoo answers trying to get advice from others. i always have to be talking to someone. i just want to feel happy, but i feel so lost. i always wanted to do something great once i graduated college, so its weird that part of me wants to go back home. i always worry about everything too, and take things people say far too personally. some people seem like they have their act together, they just graduate from college, get a job, and know who they are going to marry. however i feel so lost and lonely. even though i dont live with my parents they still love me and support me, and i have friends and a boyfriend but i feel like i spend a lot of time alone and i feel so down. i feel like im not serving my purpose in life or something. what do i do? I guess I just wanted to do something really great for the world but I have no idea what that would be nor what I need to do to get there. I'm just so confused.  more

Voting Question: I want to be a business lawyer. All info appreciates PLEASE!!!

I currently go to ASU. I am getting my bachelors of applied science in Operations Management Technology. For a little extra info this is what my degree is about: The B.A.S is a "capstone" or "inverted transfer" degree for the Associate of Applied Science degree. In completing the B.A.S you will complete all ASU graduation requirements. The B.A.S. online degree exposes students to advanced concepts and diverse critical thinking skills that prepare them for future career opportunities and professional advancement. The goal of the program is to provide you with management, leadership, critical thinking, and communication skills—along with significant work in a professional specialization—that will broaden your career horizons, promote life-long learning, and enrich your personal and civic life. I have been told that 6 months before graduation I should start applying to law schools. I live in Arizona and want to know if it would be in my best interest to go to law school in a different state; possibly east coast or else where? Also, I've heard that it is pointless to get your JD in law unless you are planning to teach. Is this true or will it help my salary and knowledge of law to practice? Also, what should I get my Masters in? My long term goal is to be a lawyer in international business law. Also, I know that it would be smart for me to learn different languages. What languages would be best to learn for international business as well as for school when applying to law schools? I was thinking about buying Rosetta Stone (RosettaStone.com) to learn different languages. I've heard nothing but positive remarks regarding this software and I know the government uses it. What do you think? I would just really appreciate all information just to help for guidance since I have two years left until I graduate and I know that I really need to start thinking about my plan for law school, etc. Thank you!! So much!! You can also contact me through IM on Yahoo Messenger: Nikg35 Thanks again!  more

Resolved Question: Is it better to get your masters immediately after undergraduate, or to work first?

I'm having a really hard time deciding what to do when I graduate in April. I will have a B.A. in Communication Studies and a minor in International Business and about a 3.3. I also have some semesters of statistics courses. I would like to get my M.A. or M.S. someday, but I'm not sure in what, nor I'm not sure from where. However, I don't know what I'm going to do after I graduate with my degree. I was thinking about working for a while to get a focus down and then getting my Master's degree. However I hate the thought of working some nasty entry-level job as well. I don't know what to do. I have NO idea how I would afford graduate school while paying car insurance and other costs as well. What are the pros and cons to getting a master's degree right away? What are your suggestions for me? Another thing to add is that I have worked in the Admissions office at my University, I don't want to go to graduate school at my current University. I've also worked in the News and Communications office at my university and I've studied abroad and done a marketing in ternship. I also like learning at college, but the thought of getting a job in the real world excites me. However I don't see myself working in the business world the rest of my life because I get bored with jobs very easily they're just not fulfilling for me. And I like to learn.  more

Resolved Question: Should Sweden face an international boycott...?

Under new terror laws (ther FRA Law) introduced in this once liberal and egalitarian country the Swedish Government has granted itself the power to open any communication entering it's border, that is to say any email, letter, text message, telephone call or other communication will be open to scrutiny, regardless of whether it is a private communication or otherwise. Several multinational companies are now considering pulling their business out of Sweden so alarmed are they at the potential breach of their client's integrity and Belgium is considering taking Sweden to the European Court of Human Rights. Effectively what this law will do is allow the Swedish Government to intercept any communication that enters it's borders regardless of whether the recipient is in Sweden or Brazil. If it is routed through Sweden, they can look at it or listen in. Should Sweden face an international boycott to ensure this law is repealed? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FRA_law "Loads of countries do this"...Oh, well that's alright then.  more

WI company markets controversial paint to color guns

A Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin company is in the middle of a dispute involving the product it sells.

Lauer Custom Weaponry manufactures paints to color guns.

The Mayor of New York City has already banned the paints and at least one other municipality wants to do the same thing.

On Wednesday, Nassau County, New York announced it wants to pass local legislation that would ban the possession and sale of brightly colored handguns in the county.

The commissioner there says he's outraged at Lauer Custom Weaponry for mocking the efforts of Mayor Bloomberg to enhance police officer safety.

They come in all shades of colors.

Greens, pinks, blues, and blacks.

And these colors are what's generating big time attention, for a small town company. more

Progen to outsource manufacturing of PI-88

Progen Pharmaceuticals Limited said it would outsource the commercial manufacture of PI-88. The Progen manufacturing facility at the Brisbane suburb of Darra will be retained as a stand-alone business providing process development services and the manufacture of drug development material.
