CyberLink Media Suite 10 Ultra is a feature-packed media management suite which provides everything you need to play, edit and share your favourite media files.
The suite bundles no less than 11 powerful applications.
PowerDVD 12, for instance, takes on media playback duties, and of course can handle all the regular audio and video files, CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray discs. But that's just the start. It can also play 3D videos, photos and Blu-ray movies (as well as converting 2D Blu-ray discs to 3D). A new smart media library and DLNA support helps the program manage and play back content from across your network, and this new edition even has integrated browsing for YouTube, Facebook and Flickr.
PowerDirector 10 is on hand to cater for your video editing requirements. The program can handle anything from creating instant photo slideshows to professional movies, and enhancements this time include smarter, much faster (up to 380%) rendering, MKV and FLV import, new 3D video support, and some spectacularly clever paint animation effects.
Worried about Media Management? The MediaShow 6 thumbnail browser now supports 3D files and many RAW formats, offers a Calendar view for speedy access to your images or provides new filter options for ultra-fast searching.
And the list goes on. So Power2Go 8 burns DVD, BD and BDXL discs (and can now mount disc images, too); PowerProducer comes packed with professional templates to help you build quality DVD or Blu-ray discs; MediaEspresso 6.5 converts your videos, photos and media into more mobile device-friendly formats; WaveEditor 2 helps you edit audio files; and other tools on offer here include PowerBackup 2.6, PowerDVD Copy 1.5, LabelPrint 2.6 and InstantBurn 5.
CyberLink haven't cut a single corner, then, and unsurprisingly this does mean that Media Suite 10 Ultra comes with a fairly chunky price tag.
The suite is still notably cheaper than buying the packages individually, though. And if you'd like to save a little more cash yourself, then you could opt for Media Suite 10 Pro, instead. It's essentially the same package, with the Blu-ray and 3D features omitted, along with a few other high-end extras (so its PowerDVD can handle Dolby Digital/ Digital Plus/ DTS, but not Dolby True-HD/ DTS-HD, for instance).
Note that you receive the full build after purchase, which is approximately 1.8GB. You can choose to add an official backup/install disc to your order through checkout. This will enable you to install CyberLink Media Suite 10 Ultra from a disc and/or again in the future.
HURRY! Buy CyberLink Media Suite 10 Ultra, discounted, and get PowerDirector 10 Ultra, worth A$129.95, for FREE! Media Suite 10 Ultra ships with a cut down 'HE' version of PowerDirector. We give you the full PowerDirector 10 Ultra, for free.

In the nearly six weeks since Hurricane Sandy hit, residents of a tiny cul-de-sac in Midland Beach said no one has come to check on two homes. With their gates locked and "No Trespassing" signs posted, there has been little activity, except what residents described as the distinct smell of mold and mildew coming from a window broken in the wake of the storm.
"It smells like old, musty basement," said resident Nicholas Mogavero. "It smells like old basements smells. Damp. Dank.
"I definitely think we're gonna have problems all around," said resident Michael Daupheny.
Daupheny's house is sandwiched in between the two homes, which he said have been abandoned for much of the last 10 years and used primarily for storage. He said his own home, and the homes of all his neighbors, were flooded by close to five feet of water in the storm surge, and covered in mold when they finally dried out.
His neighbor, Cheryl Bradley, removed mold-covered sheet rock earlier this week. She said she can only imagine what's growing inside the houses that no one has bothered to check.
"Somebody's got to do something with these houses," she said. "They're a hazard. They're not good for the health over here, and we're living here right now."
In addition to their concerns about the mold, residents said they're also worried about rodents. They said they've already started seeing possums and even rats coming from the abandoned houses at night.
"There's no bread, no food out here for anything to eat, but they're coming in and out of this house and it's not good," Bradley said.
The Department of Buildings did visit the homes, but only to tag them restricted. Daupheny said he's been calling 311 as well as a host of elected officials to ask the one question no one seems able to answer: who is responsible for mold removal in an abandoned or vacant house?
The Department of Buildings told NY1 the New York City Department of Health handles mold, and the Health Department directed our calls to the Department of Buildings.
Meanwhile, residents fear the mold continues to grow.

Samsung had the world's attention on Thursday night. Then the company blew it.
The Korean tech giant picked New York, the highest-profile city, to debut its latest smartphone, the Galaxy S IV. Samsung even picked historic Radio City Music Hall to show the phone off.
Everything seemed to be in Samsung's favor: It spent the last year building the Galaxy brand into a household name with hardware prowess and marketing guile.
And then the lights came on.
The crowd was subjected to an hour of overblown theatrics, unnecessary banter, and moments which, at best, bordered on political incorrectness. At worst, it was downright sexist.
If you're going to launch your biggest tech product ever, here are eight things you shouldn't do.
1) Don't portray women as technologically illiterate: Yes, it's OK to acknowledge that there's a growing segment of smartphone users who happen to be female. It's not OK to suggest that the main reason they'd want Samsung's latest and greatest technology is to keep their nails dry and prevent their hair from getting messed up. (Samsung did not respond to requests for comment.)
2) Don't portray women as technologically illiterate...again: Yes fitness tracking features are good. Yes, some women are into fitness. But fitness enthusiasm, or almost any other aspect of technology, is hardly gender specific. And presenting that idea to millions has no place in the world in 2013.
3) Don't plant shills in the audience to make awkward comments: One of the more surreal moments of being at the event was realizing how blatant Samsung's planted audience members were. They laughed and cheered at seemingly arbitrary things. And to make things all the more awkward, I heard a few making strangely pointed comments about the attractiveness of the female performers on stage. Huh?
4) Don't make the event into a Broadway play: Even if the idea holds up conceptually, don't mask the launch of your biggest product. Nobody really cares about the presentation. People care about the phone.

The Politics of Business ResponsibilityWith the possible election in November of Mitt Romney as America's first "businessman-president" since Herbert Hoover in 1928, we're forced to ask a philosophical question that comes around regularly on the guitar: Beyond its imperative to make profits, does business have any moral responsibility to society? Republicans, our traditional zealots for unregulated capitalism, usually inject into this discussion the 18th century economist, Adam Smith, who depicted every good merchant's fierce pursuit of profit as an "invisible hand" that naturally redounds to society's benefit. To quote Smith: "By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it." If this were all Smith had written in his masterwork, The Wealth of Nations (which most Republicans have never read -- but I have!), he'd remain the ideological linchpin for the conservative movement's current breed of social Darwinism. The trouble is that Smith also favored the sort of "compassion" that tends to creep-out winner-take-all capitalists like Romney. Smith, for example, not only advocated the minimum wage; he was the first to suggest a "living wage" that might lift all laborers to genuine prosperity. Smith thought wealth earned by labor was virtuous, but he frowned on guys (like Romney) who make millions by dabbling and gambling in financial markets. He believed that great wealth concentrated in private property or in big banks was a menace to society, and he was a pioneering fan of progressive taxation. "It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion," Smith said. Talk like this positions Smith way left of Romney -- which is why his running-mate choice, Paul Ryan, was a brilliant stroke. It not only brought youth and the Tea Party into Romney's camp, it interjected an economic philosopher more appropriate to current conservatism. Enter Ayn Rand, stage far right (holding Paul Ryan's hand). For 25 years (until a politically driven recantation in April), Ryan was a slavish Rand disciple, quoting her, handing out her books, and declaring that America was locked in battle between "individualism [yay!] and collectivism [boo!]." Rand -- who died before Ryan could seek her out and actually genuflect in her presence -- was a Russian atheist whose "heroic" vision owed debts to, among other megalomaniac wet dreams, the Norse gods and Valkyries, Ivan the Terrible, and Friedrich Nietzsche. This sort of testosterone intellectualism has long rendered Rand deeply seductive to sheltered, wealthy, snow-white reactionaries on backwater campuses like Miami of Ohio (Ryan's alma mater). While Smith counseled empathy -- even fairness -- for the working poor, Ayn Rand's capitalism is pure, crystalline, merciless. She regarded ordinary people as a vast cesspool. She would spare the poor and jobless from an industrial-scale system of extermination only because they were, simply, unworthy of notice. Quote Rand: "One can't love man without hating most of the creatures who pretend to bear his name." Adam Smith, by contrast, was a sissy. He said: "No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable." Perhaps the big difference between Smith and Rand is that Smith grounded his ideas in reality. Rand, a Hollywood screenwriter, fashioned fictional worlds, built on a Cecil B. DeMille scale, manned by solitary, misunderstood giants who waged lonesome battle against armies of jealous drones, vengeful dwarfs, and parasites. In Rand's five-pound pulp novels, she spun grand fables, erected ivory pulpits, and unspooled epic paeans to the divinity of Self (while, back in Janesville, one deeply gullible teenage boy, looking around at the unwashed shrubs in study hall, wept silent tears of inspiration). Rand's world in The Fountainhead featured hero-architect Howard Roark, inventor of modernism. He is rejected by a hidebound Establishment that perpetuates -- by violence, if necessary -- the endless imitation of a neo-classical past. We know this is a cool fictional premise because, by time of The Fountainhead's release in 1943, a real-life architect named Frank Lloyd Wright (after his early battles against tradition) had been designing modernist buildings for an eager Establishment for some 50 years. Rand's heroic iconoclast was an outdated outcast in a tendentious dystopia. Like Howard Roark, both Romney and Ryan seem the brainchildren of a pop philosopher whose magically simple measure of human superiority is rooted in a sort of divine materialism. In Romney's and Ryan's Randworld, virtue and wealth are two sides of the same shiny Krugerrand. There's just one hitch. Rand, who was actually alive during the Hoover regime, offers no guidance on the question of whether business guys, as Mitt asserts, make better presidents. Rand found democracy -- the scum of the earth electing their leaders -- disgusting. She didn't vote; nor did she care whether the president was a businessman or a porn star. Nor would she have deigned to admit into her salon the corporate lobbyists and casino billionaires who are bankrolling campaigns. Adam Smith, on the other hand, had a position: "The government of an exclusive company of merchants is, perhaps, the worst of all governments for any country whatever." |

Two years later, not much support for Bentley's 5,000 jobs claim
Bama Fact Check
Dec 11, 2012
| 3092 views |
It looks like Birmingham News reporter Kim Chandler has found the answer to a mystery well known to readers of Bama Fact Check. Or at least part of the answer. Back in 2010, when Gov. Robert Bentley was running for office, he touted his Re-employment Act of 2010 as a measure that would create 5,000 jobs. Bama Fact Check looked into the claim, and gave Bentley a Truth Rating of 4 out of 5. True, the bill had just gone into effect, and hard numbers weren't available. But Bentley had data showing that a similar program, at the federal level, had created a similar number of jobs in the state. We checked in on that claim again and again over the months after Bentley took office. The answer was always the same: the data wasn't in, and it was too early to tell exactly how many jobs were generated by the bill. Well, the data is in now -- at least some of it -- and Chandler beat us to it. According to her story in today's News, only 17 partnerships and corporations took advantage of the tax incentive under the law, creating the equivalent of about 58 jobs. What's missing from those numbers is the participation of small mom-and-pop operations. There's no telling how many of those businesses hired new employees under the tax incentives created by Bentley's bill. Alabama Revenue Commissioner Julie Magee said, again, that it's still too early to measure the success of the program. You can read Chandler's full story

Hammon doesn't know difference between 'Hispanic' and 'illegal immigrant'
Bama Fact Check
Jun 23, 2011
| 12509 views |
Critics of Alabama's new immigration law have long argued that the bill is rooted in anti-Hispanic prejudice. After all, the argument goes, the bill allows police to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally. It's hard to know what would cause a police officer to suspect a person of being an illegal immigrant, but it would seem that the burden would fall on people who don't fall neatly into Alabama's historically black-or-white racial paradigm. Rep. Micky Hammon, R-Decatur, just offered a telling bit of information that's sure to stoke the fires of debate. Hammon is the author of the new immigration bill. He has told media outlets that Alabama has the second-fastest-growing illegal immigrant population in the nation. Earlier this week, Bama Fact Check looked into that claim – and found no evidence to support it. Hammon said he had proof that Alabama was No. 2 in illegal immigrant growth, but he never produced it. On Thursday, Hammon e-mailed Anniston Star reporter Brian Anderson with an article he said was evidence to support his claim. Here's
the link
: the article cites a Pew Research Center report showing that the Alabama is No. 2 in the growth of its
population. There is, of course, a difference. First of all, despite the rhetoric we hear from Goat Hill, not all Hispanics are immigrants. Not by a long shot. Texas and California had significant Latino populations before they entered the Union. Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory, and its residents are American citizens. To them, add the millions of Hispanic Americans whose families moved here a generation ago, or two, to three, and you have a huge population of native-born Americans who identify themselves as Latino. Obviously, even if all those people were immigrants, they wouldn't necessarily be
immigrants. All of this stuff is fairly common knowledge in places with major Latino populations. Alabama, by most counts, isn't one of those places. By the last Census count, only 3.9 percent of Alabamians identified themselves as "Hispanic or Latino of any race." Perhaps that's one reason why Alabama comes in second in
growth of its Latino population. That's easy to do when the numbers are small to begin with.

Frederick Douglass, arch-conservative?
Bama Fact Check
Jun 15, 2011
| 1452 views |
"Frederick Douglass Republican" has been a hot phrase in conservative circles since the beginning of the Obama administration. Perhaps because they're up against the first black president, conservative media figures have made much of the fact that the Republican Party began as an abolitionist movement. In the old days, the term was the "party of Lincoln." These days Frederick Douglass – the slave who taught himself to read, escaped the South, and became a respected writer and leader in the abolitionist movement – seems to hold a lot more appeal. Of course, a lot has changed since the 1860s. Predicting the political opinions of a 21st century Frederick Douglass is sort of like predicting what Charles Dickens would drink at Starbucks. That hasn't stopped conservative talk radio from recasting Douglass as an anti-immigration, low-tax conservative on guard against creeping Marxism. Sort of like Rick Santorum, but with a beard. As The Anniston Star
reported this week,
the Talladega County Republican Party is bringing a self-described Frederick Douglass Republican to town to woo black voters to the GOP. K. Carl Smith, a black Army vet with several tea party rallies under his belt, describes Douglass as a small-government guy who hated "slaveowner entitlements." But one expert threw cold water on the notion of Douglass as a right-winger in the modern mold. "Frederick Douglass was a strong supporter of the Freedmen's Bureau," noted DoVeanna Minor, chair of gender and race studies at the University of Alabama. The Freedmen's Bureau was a Reconstruction-era agency designed to usher freed slaves into full citizenship by building schools, providing health care, making loans and creating jobs. It also investigated racial incidents. And, yes, it was a federal government project. Sounds like an arch-conservative's worst nightmare. Of course, there's no real reason to take either side's word for it. The writings of Frederick Douglass are all in the public domain, and
can easily be found online.
And so are the
records of the Freedmen's Bureau.
Read and decide for yourself.

Why it's so hard to fact check statements about abortion (and why it's important to do so)
By the editors of Bama Fact Check
Bama Fact Check
Jun 01, 2011
| 1785 views |
Assigning a "truth rating" to various claims is the hardest thing we do here at Bama Fact Check. It's often relatively easy to do a bit of research and pick apart a politician's poorly researched statements. It's much harder to get a group of editors together to decide whether those statements are (to paraphrase Mark Twain) lies, infernal lies, or statistics. Our most recent fact check –- a look into a legislator's claims about the safety of abortion inducing drugs –- presented us with the hardest "truth rating" decision we've ever faced. The Alabama State Legislature is now considering a raft of bills designed to limit access to abortion statewide. One of those bills, sponsored by Sen. Gerald Allen, R-Cottondale, would pose new restrictions on the use of mifepristone – the abortion-inducing pill once known as RU-486. The bill's text includes a number of claims about mifepristone, including that it poses a "significant risk" to women's health. The words aren't Allen's. As Anniston Star reporter Brian Anderson discovered, the wording of the bill was lifted, almost completely intact, from model legislation proposed by Americans United for Life, a pro-life group based in Washington D.C. Anderson set out see if there was any truth to the bill's claims about the safety (or lack thereof) of mifepristone. He tried to contact Allen, and got no response -– after four days of trying. Then he contacted the bill's true authors: the folks at Americans United for Life. They responded to his questions by repeatedly emailing the same set of boiler-plate answers. The response from pro-choice side was better, but not by much. State-level abortion rights organizations wouldn't talk about the issue. Nationwide organizations did, but only after mulling the matter for days. Keep in mind that Anderson wasn't asking The Big Abortion Question. He was asking about a couple of seemingly simple things. How does the scientific community define "significant risk," and does mifepristone pose such a risk? Yet seemingly unbiased sources on the topic gave Anderson the cold shoulder. Doctors and professors in pharmacy colleges and medical schools did not respond to messages about the question. The FDA's legislative branch didn't respond to Anderson's inquiries. Now, at Bama Fact Check, we've always observed a certain amount of gamesmanship when assigning truth ratings. If a politician makes a claim, he or she should be willing to provide documentation to support that claim. If the politician doesn't support the claim, and the opponent does make a sound case, the judgment goes against the politician. In other words: back up what you say, or we'll call you a liar. Sen. Allen didn't provide information to back up his bill's claims about abortion-inducing drugs. The bill's real authors did only slightly better. On that account alone, we were prepared to rank his statement about "significant risk" as a falsehood. But there's more to this story than rhetoric. There's a real world, beyond word games, in which women actually face the choice of taking mifepristone or not taking it. The question of whether a drug is safe or unsafe is a question that matters in real-world terms. And the fact is, after days of trying to get a straight answer out of people who are in the know on such matters, we really didn't feel any closer to an answer about mifepristone, about what "significant" risk means, or about whether that risk, if it exists, is worth taking. The editors of Bama Fact Check weren't born yesterday. We know why it's so hard to get people to talk on sensitive subject. The abortion issue settled into trench warfare years ago, with Americans in opposing camps and no middle ground except a wasteland. But the risks and rewards of mifepristone are testable, falsifiable claims that should, by all rights, be checkable. Because out there, there are a number of women who need and deserve straight facts on this issue. There are facts that we do know. We know that mifepristone is approved by the FDA. That doesn't guarantee its safety, but the FDA's approval is something most Americans as trustworthy. For us, this dilemma is an illustration of the need for Bama Fact Check, and the need for journalism in general. People in power, on both sides of the political aisle, profit from keeping a tight control on information. By fudging facts and hiding sources, people in power force everyone else into the prisoner's dilemma, in which every decision is based on guesswork and fear. And when information is shared freely, it's the individual human being who profits. She profits by having the information she needs to make a rational decision. Now that our article is out, we expect an onslaught of responses from both sides of the abortion debate. We hope those responses will include some real data. We hope people on both sides of the aisle will point to real, documented evidence to support their positions on mifepristone and how it should be administered. It's about time somebody did that.

LGBT employment rights bill 'dead' in Lege
Bama Fact Check
May 18, 2011
| 1786 views |
Imagine a world in which a gay boss could fire a straight employee because of his sexual orientation. And just suppose an Alabama legislator proposed a law that would put an end to that. You might think that bill would become a
cause celebre
, with Alabama lawmakers lining up to co-sponsor it. You'd be dead wrong. Rep. Patricia Todd, D-Birmingham, proposed a bill in March that would prohibit schools and state agencies from firing employees because of their sexual orientation. The bill explicitly protects workers from being fired because of their "real or perceived heterosexuality, homosexuality, or bisexuality." Amazingly, that protection doesn't already exist here. As a right-to-work state, Alabama allows employers to fire people for just about anything that's not prohibited by federal civil rights laws. And sexual orientation isn't explicitly mentioned in those laws. So, if you're straight -- indeed, if you have any sexual orientation at all -- your employer can fire you just for being who you are. Admittedly, the state is not exactly awash in reports of people being fired because they're heterosexual. But Todd says she's heard from a lot of gay teachers, who are afraid to come out for fear of getting a pink slip. Todd's bill has been around for weeks, and it hasn't even made it to a committee hearing. Todd herself acknowledges that the thing is "dead." We're not sure why. Maybe lawmakers just don't like straight people. Or there could be some other reason.
From the Anniston Star -- Bill would protect gay teachers from being fired.

Storm rumors debunked
Bama Fact Check
May 12, 2011
| 1892 views |
As our regular readers know, Bama Fact Check has been out of action since the April 27 tornadoes. But that doesn't mean our reporters haven't been fact-checking. The tornadoes had a major effect on the communities covered by Fact Check's partner organizations. The Tuscaloosa News, for instance, was busy reporting on a city largely flattened by an EF-4 twister. At The Anniston Star, another paper in the Bama Fact Check partnership, an EF-4 tore a similar hole through a much less populated landscape. It's taken two weeks just to return to something like a normal schedule, if "normal" is the right word for life after one of Alabama's biggest disasters. As it turns out, fact-checking is a big part of what reporters do in response to disasters like the April 27 tornado outbreak. The Tuscaloosa News even set up a
to stamp out the more pervasive rumors swirling through town. And here's what they reported: the mayor of Tuscaloosa is, in fact, still alive. Bodies were not found in the Holt landfill. And the city of Tuscaloosa is not hiding hundreds of unidentified bodies. And as the editors of the News pointed out in a
recent editorial
, accurate information does matter. It matters a lot. No, you haven't heard from Bama Fact in a while. But you'll see us back in action shortly. In the meantime, here's a little treat for the political wonk in everyone. While Alabamians were digging out of the rubble, Newt Gingrich – a man who has made a lot of public statements over the years -- declared his intention to run for the presidency. The Washington Post
fact-checked the two-minute video announcing his candidacy
. So did
. Enjoy.

Figures: Women underrepresented on committees in Legislature
Bama Fact Check
Apr 23, 2011
| 1746 views |
Sen. Vivian Figures, D-Mobile, says women are
not getting fair representation on legislative committees
, The Decatur Daily reports. Figures said there are no women on seven of the 20 standing committees in the Lege. Apparently Figures is making some headway. Derek Trotter, spokesman for Sen. Del Marsh, R-Anniston, called The Anniston Star last week to point out a recent change to Marsh's proposal to reform the Alabama Constitution of 1901. Marsh had proposed a 16-member committee to reform the constitution. Figures proposed an amendment that would require that the committee "racial, gender, geographic, urban/rural, and economic diversity of the state." The measure passed the Senate 17-9.

Where is Bentley's director of small business?
Bama Fact Check
Apr 21, 2011
| 1763 views |
When he was running for office in 2010, Gov. Robert Bentley pledged to create a cabinet-level Director of Small Business. Small business was a hot theme back then. Politicians from both parties noted that most businesses are small businesses, that helping small business could bring back jobs, and that mom-and-pop shops deserved as much government attention as the major players. Collectively, small businesses were Too Big to Fail. Or at least, that was the mood in the campaign year. Three months into his administration, Bentley still hasn't appointed his small business director -- though scuttlebutt in Montgomery suggests he's interviewing people for the job. Still, small business advocates aren't griping. They've been getting legislation they wanted -- tax incentives, tort reform, and other measures -- and in some cases, they're even writing the legislation.
From the Anniston Star -- Bentley has yet to create director of small business.

Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus Secrets of Great Sex, Improving Communication, Lasting Intimacy and Fulfillment, Giving and Receiving Love, Secrets of Passion, Understanding Martian
Author:Gray, John
Pub Date: 2004
Publisher: Harpercollins
Summary: Gray's thesis? That men (Martians) and women (Venusians) have to accept that they're impossibly distinct beasties before they can establish a workable intimacy. Once we get a handle on the Mars/Venus concept, Gray focuses his Hubble telescope on more nebulous theories, such as 'Men Are Like Rubber Bands' and 'Women Are Like Waves.' (Don't ask.) And in a couple of Ralph Kramden-like asides, Gray advises women to g...ive their Martians plenty of stomping room or bang, zoom, they're going to the moon. 'When a man is in a negative state,' Gray suggests, 'treat him like a passing tornado and lie low.' And: 'Never go into a man's cave or you will be burned by the dragon!' Yikes.

As we recently reported, singer Katy Perry has found herself a new man: Robert Ackroyd, guitarist for the band Florence + The Machine. The new couple was spotted this past weekend at Coachella holding hands and kissing while showing a bit of PDA.
DETAILS: RUMOR HAS IT: Katy Perry's Got Another New Boyfriend!
The 27-year-old looked cute in high waisted shorts and sandals, while Ackroyd rocked a plain white tee and cropped jeans.
The guitarist seems romantic as well - which might be just what Katy needs! Ackroyd tweeted, "I've been waiting 21 years to see a sunset in Arizona, and last night did not disappoint. Beautiful state. Next stop Vegas."
So perhaps the two will be "Waking up in Vegas"?
DETAILS: Is Katy Perry Still In Love With Russell?
Let's hope they have better luck than Perry did in the video!

How to Find a Summer Internship
By Deborah Federico
A student came into my office recently, bearing a worried expression. A friend had told him there weren't any more summer internships available, he lamented to me. "What! That's definitely not true," I exclaimed, and quickly reassured him that there were still plenty of internships available for the summer. Then I told him to stop listening to his friend—at least when it comes to career advice.
As an undergraduate career counselor in the School of Management at Boston University, a large portion of my job revolves around dispelling myths such as this one. So, whenever your friends give you advice about the job market or your career, make sure to get the facts from your school's career services office.
I can almost guarantee that you'll find some kind of internship for the summer by using the strategies outlined below. You might even find yourself in the enviable position of having to choose between multiple internship offers.
Career Services Office: This should be your first stop. Find out if they have either an online or print database of internships. Not only will the pool of applicants be relatively small compared to larger internship search sites, the companies that post want to hire someone from your school. Make sure to check for deadlines and remember to check the database often, as new internships will be added as they come in.
Online Internship Databases: There are several online job databases that contain hundreds--if not thousands!—of internships. Simply Hired, for instance is a favorite of mine. A great thing about it is the ability to search by geographical area. You can also set up multiple searches, get daily email alerts with any internship that matches your search criteria, or sort your search by company name to zero in on internships at your favorite companies.
Another one of my favorite internship sites is Craigslist (yes, I said Craigslist!). Despite the many sketchy posts on Craigslist, lots of my students have found some very good internships there—particularly at smaller companies. Students just need to view postings with a bit of discernment. See if the company has a website, or Google their name to see what comes up. When in doubt, consult your career services office.
(Speaking of sketchy things, be aware of scam internship emails. Scammers typically operate by sending students brief and vague emails, written with poor grammar, and sent from Hotmail or Gmail accounts. If you respond, they will send you a check—with no funds to support it—ask you to deposit it, then request you send them your money. Never, ever get involved with anything like this and make sure to immediately report these scammers to your career services office.)
Target Companies: Is there a particular company or industry that you really want to work in? Go to that company's career page or find out the key players in your industry and visit their career pages to search for internship postings. If nothing is available, send your resume and a prospecting cover letter for potential future openings. Then follow up with human resources. You could even consider designing your own internship. Employers will love your initiative, and many companies would welcome the additional set of hands during the summer.
Career Sites: Vault is a great resource for finding and researching top internship programs and for their internship ratings. Some other good resources for doing internship research are Internship Ratings, where students rate their internship experience, College Confidential, where students discuss their internship experiences in chat forums and CareerTV, which has many company profile/internship programs on video.
Events: Go to career fairs and company information sessions, both inside and outside of your college. Remember: Even if a company may not have an internship for you at this moment, they may have one in the future, and you'll be building your relationship with the employer in the meantime.
Network! Network! Network! During a recent "Internship 101" event at Boston University, many of the student panelists said that they had found their internships through networking. Networking with whom? Anyone and everyone! I would recommend starting with your family and friends. Many of my students have found great internships through neighbors, uncles, aunts, cousins, and best friends' parents. Go through them first, then you can branch out into contacting your school's alumni. Just remember never to ask outright for a job! You need to build a relationship first, impress them with your abilities, which, in turn, can lead to an internship opportunity.
By doing multiple internships, you'll develop your transferable skills, discern what you want out of your future career and build your resume to make you a competitive candidate in the job market when you graduate. If that isn't enough, consider the following:
In terms of starting salary offers, there is a definite financial advantage for students who have internship experience, according to results of NACE's 2010 Student Survey. Overall, students in the Class of 2010 who had internships received an average salary offer of $41,580. Meanwhile, their classmates who didn't take internships received an average starting salary offer of $34,601.
Internships are plentiful. Nearly 95 percent of the students I work with have had at least one internship during their college years, if not two or three. The sooner you start, the more methods you employ, the better. Don't simply apply for one or two internships and then wait for the phone to ring. It's a numbers game, and by applying to multiple internships, you exponentially increase your chances of landing the one of your dreams.
Remember to continuously check for internships throughout the spring semester because companies will keep posting new internships through June. There is one caveat to be aware of, though. Some larger organizations do have more formal internship programs with specific recruiting cycles, and, if you've missed their deadlines, then it really is too late. But you can always look for an internship at a smaller firm. It's much better to have some experience on your resume than none. Your goal should be to have a resume filled with diverse work experiences, not the same one from summer to summer.

Sort: Oldest first | Newest firstIntern Job Boards + Virtual Internships?
Hi Deborah, Very interesting suggestions for interns. Often, going through finding a first internship is a young job seeker's first taste of the job search universe and that can be scary an daunting. Connecting with college advisor or the career services center is always an important first step. When you spoke about online Internet databases, you did not mention websites that focus on specifically on Internships. They are fairly new and could also be a great resource -- especially the smaller ones (who still have great internships to offer). I would also like to hear your thoughts on taking a virtual internship. Great post and advice, - Corey Witt Marketing & Communications Manager Urban Interns http://www.urbaninterns.com
Response to Intern Job Boards + Virtual Internships
Hello Corey, Thanks so much for your feedback and for your suggestion about students exploring online databases focusing solely on internships. I didn't mention them because SimplyHired.com is a vertical job search engine that pulls listings from thousands of sites across the Web, and when I do searches there for internships, I usually have great results. Also, since there are numerous internship databases, I didn't want to list only or two, nor did I want to list them all. In regard to your second point, several of my students have told me that they are doing virtual internships. I believe they like the convenience of working from their dorm rooms as well as the ability to work at times that make sense to them (typically outside the 9-5 realm). However, students have expressed their concern to me about these internships if they never get to meet the owner of the business for an interview and are working for someone they have never met. Some students feel that these internships might be somewhat "sketchy' and are a bit skeptical while doing them. I hope this helps! Deborah

I love this ring. I have gotten tons of compliments and it turns any outfit edgy.

Too Big For Me!
This ring sticks out a bit too high for my preference. It is beautiful in person though, but I have petite fingers and it was a bit overwhelming on them.

Absolutely amazing
The ring is beautifuly made and it makes a stunning statement.- The combination of the gray stone and the golden-tipped claws looks fantastic. I bought it in size 6, which is my regular size for the "wedding ring" finger, but actually I ended up putting it on my middle finger. It's a bit tight, but the stone is quite heavy so if there is any looseness, the ring will keep tipping to the side under it's own weight. (It might take some soap to take it off though ;) )
I am so glad I have been stalking the website until they got the size I wanted.

I missed this ring the first time it was in stock; it sold out before I could get one!!! I knew I HAD to have it though so I seriously STALKED Shopbop's website for SIX WHOLE WEEKS until it FINALLY came back in stock!!! It was well worth the wait, however, because this ring is absolutely GORGEOUS!!! The pictures do not even do it justice - the Agate stone is even more beautiful in person!!! I get millions of compliments & double-takes whenever I wear this ring...I'm tempted to buy a backup b/c it is seriously that beautiful!!! This is my second Elizabeth & James Jewelry purchase...I HIGHLY recommend their line for unique statement rings you cannot find anywhere else! By far my favorite Shopbop purchase...THANKS for bringing it back! :)

Some non-violent offenders with good behavior behind bars can get up to six months shaved off. It all depends on the crime, time served and other factors.
Supporters say the program will help keep our prisons from getting too crowded. The state used to have a similar early release program, but it was stopped three years ago because of corruption.

The best food in the world!!! dude 1- What did you have for dinner?
dude 2- Just some potato chips and French fries. dude 1- YEAH POTATOES ROCK!!! |
1. | potato | ||
A root vegetable. For some reason, a popular subject in Flash cartoons.
Can be boiled, mashed, and stuck in a stew. Can be given to the girl you love as a way of saying "I have many ways in which I show my love for you, and it doesn't matter at all what you look like, I will still love you." Doesn't always work. Better than roses because roses are just a way of saying, "My love for you is transitory and based solely on your appearance." Sometimes acts rather strange, repeating its name over and over, hopping around on a pogo stick, and saying "Chips!" shortly after unexpectedly being turned into fries. What's taters, precious?
Po-ta-toes! Po-ta-toes! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew! Pooootato, potato, potato. NefClock: Roses? No, dude, you should give her a potato. OmniClock: A potato? Why? Nef: Well, there are a lot of reasons. Roses only last, like, a couple of weeks, and that is if you leave them in water. And they really only exist to be pretty, so that's like saying "My love for you is transitory, and based solely on your appearance." But, a potato! Potatoes last forever. Not only will it not rot, but it actually grows stuff. There are so many ways to enjoy a potato! You can even make a battery with it! And that is like saying, "I have many ways in which I show my love for you." Potatoes may not look much, but they're still awesome. So that is like saying, "It doesn't matter at all what you look like, I will still love you." |

White people living or travelling in South East Asia. more...
White ex-pats are often seen as fat, white and inert. Common variants are "fat potato", "stupid potato", "dirty potato" and so on. Potato was first coined in 2008 by ex-pats living in Vietnam. It was first reference in the Vietnam Times in January 2009, and spread quite quickly throughout Vietnam and is currently becoming pervasive in major ex-pat hubs including Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City. Term has also surfaced in the SE Asian community in Australia. In Sydney the increased Anglo-Saxon interest in Asian cultures has led to this word being used in a derogatory manner to describe Anglo-Saxon patrons to SE Asian establishments. Potatospeak is a humorous term used to refer to metaphors which use this slang, including: Potato Salad - a large gathering of potatoes, usually around hotel swimming pools. Mashed Potato - amotorbike accident involving at least one potato. Often includes a muffler burn. Baked Potato - sunburn Potato Wedge - a poorly executed motorbike manouever Potato Famine - a potato orders a meal at a local restaurant. On arrival he realises it is completely inedible. Atkins Diet - a period of time when the potato decides he or she doesn't want any more potato in his life. Bubble and Squeak - older potato who has hooked up with a younger, beautiful local girl Fauxtato - a local person who is sitting in a Hard Rock Cafe. |

An object of poor quality. Usually a video camera or a microphone. "This youtube video quality sucks. Was it filmed with a potato?"
"The voice acting in this cartoon sucks. Did they record the voices with a potato?" |
6. | Potato | ||
A term used to refer to a new page of the webcomic Homestuck on said webcomic's forums in place of the word 'update', to signify that the page has already been up for some time, so that people do not attempt to check for a new page when they have already seen it. Oh man, you guys, I laughed so hard at the newest potato.
