After Curiosity, uncertainty lingers on NASA's Mars program
PASADENA, Ca. (Reuters) - This week's arrival of NASA's
Mars rover Curiosity set the stage for a potentially
game-changing quest to learn whether the planet most like Earth
ever had a shot at developing life, but follow-up missions
exist only on drawing boards. The United States had planned to
team up with Europe on a trio of missions beginning in 2016
that would culminate in the return of Mars soil and rock
samples to Earth, an endeavor the National Research Council
considers its top priority in planetary science for the next

Notes On A Controversy
Amardo Rodriguez
December 04, 2017
Another week brings yet national controversy where no person was robbed, raped, molested, abused, maimed, or killed. Instead, the controversy involves a prominent person or academic who has been accused of using language that is assumed to be inherently offensive, hateful, or derogatory. As is nearly always the case, there is outrage, protest, and calls for the person to be punished. Increasingly, as the Chronicle of Higher Education recently reported, there are threats of violence against the accused.
Yet from the standpoint of communication theory, no word (or set of words) is inherently offensive. Simply put, human beings shape and guide what words mean. That all human beings are inherently different means that words will always have different meanings and lend for different interpretations. Such is the nature of human diversity, meaning that such are the implications that come with recognizing human diversity. To assume that certain words are inherently offensive (even sexist or racist) is to deny human diversity, and thus to make believe that our different experiences and backgrounds have nothing to do with how we interpret words and symbols. If there is any transgression committed in these kinds of language controversies, it is usually by those who quickly put out self-righteous statements condemning the accused, such as claiming, in a recent controversy, that the person's words were "sexist and disparaging to all women." (Really, all women?) These kinds of self-righteous statements reject the reality that human diversity means, besides being of different genders, races, religions, and sexual orientations, that all human beings are also of different modalities, sensibilities, rationalities, mentalities, ideologies, and epistemologies. Consequently, human beings will always perceive words and symbols differently, judge words and symbols differently, use words and symbols differently, and relate to words and symbols differently. To value human diversity is to be at peace with this kind of language diversity.
Moreover, besides the matter of diversity, there is the matter of intent. Intent is foundational in communication theory. As Richard West and Lynn Turner, authors of Introducing Communication Theory: Analysis and Application, explain, without intent, the study of communication becomes impossible. "If everything can be thought of as communication—our verbal and nonverbal unintended expressions—then studying communication in a systematic manner is not only challenging but nearly impossible. . . . By defining everything as communication, we inevitably undermine the field we wish to study." Intent means that our communication should be judged solely by our intention. As such, before we judge any person's words to be offensive, we need to know the person's intent. Indeed, how did intent come to have no place in these language controversies? Who among us wants to live in a society where intent has no place, and thus can be vulnerable to any kind of sanction from any person or organization?
Finally, in communication theory context matters. We continue to assume that language is the foundation of communication. As such, words supposedly matter, and knowing how to use words properly and correctly is supposedly important. Presumably, our failure to use language properly and correctly is why communication problems arise. But then there is that persistent problem, as in "Yes, I know what I said, but you are taking my words out of context." Such an admission reveals that context shapes what words mean. In short, words mean nothing outside of context. As Gregory Bateson reminds us, "without context there is no communication." In fact, contexts exceed words in terms of what is truly important in communication. Without contexts, words meaning nothing, and what words mean is guided and shaped by contexts. Consequently, no word is inherently racist or sexist. What words mean must always be understood within a context. Yet knowing what context is shaping the meaning of any word (or set of words) is all but impossible to know reliably as there are many forces (e.g., racial, cultural, historical, political) that shape the context that in turn shape the meaning of words. So again, any politics that begins on the premise that certain words are inherently offensive reflects no rigorous understanding of communication theory.
There will soon be yet another public shaming of another prominent person who is found guilty of using "offensive" language. All of the shaming rituals and practices will be on full display. News reports will casually use the term racist or sexist remarks. There will be hostility and even threats of violence against the accused. But this kind of language politics needs to end. It undermines the flourishing of human diversity and diminishes our understanding of the important relationship between diversity, democracy, and communication.

For the past two days our entire staff, including volunteers and interns, along with members of Philadelphia's Department of Human Services have been involved in All Children, All Families training. This training was run by Ann McCabe, a consultant to the All Children, All Families Campaign and a licensed Family and Marriage Therapist and Ellen Kahn, Family Project Director at the Human Rights Campaign. The training provided us with training on LGBT Cultural Competency for Foster Care and Adoption Agencies. Modules included Foundations of Effective Practice with LGBT Parents, Putting Out the Welcome Mat: Establishing Agency Communications, Spaces and Recruitment Practices that Embrace LGBT Families.
Over the course of over 10 hours we were exposed to and got to explore the issues which face the LGBT community in general and specifically when going through the adoption process. We discussed the potential barriers to adoption, like the explicit prohibition in 9 states, and ways we could address the concerns of those facing these challenges.
On the positive side, we also looked at the strengths that LGBT individuals bring to the table when choosing to adopt. Many of those in the community have had to overcome obstacles, grief and loss like so many of the children and youths we see. This compassion and understanding can create a strong bond.
We will be using the training we went through to implement strategies to plan outreach to prospective adoptive/foster parents from the LGBT community. Center staff will also review all agencies materials to assess if the Center materials convey the message that the Center is a welcoming environment for LGBT prospective adoptive parents.

The Canadian Reinsurance Conference (CRC) has become one of the premier reinsurance conferences in the world. It is dedicated to providing a forum for industry participants to learn about developments affecting the reinsurance business and providing an opportunity to network with peers. Continued strong attendance at the conference can be interpreted as an indicator that the CRC continues to succeed in meeting their goals and in delivering value to the industry.
The CRC was first held in 1956 when representatives from several Toronto insurance companies met for a half day. The intent was to discuss reinsurance matters in their mutual interest. At that time, companies were involved in reciprocal risk-sharing arrangements in order to facilitate placement of large face amount policies. The purpose of their meeting was to discuss how to expedite these transactions.
From that simple beginning, the CRC has evolved to a full day conference format which now regularly attracts over 500 attendees from the insurance, reinsurance, and retrocession industries in Canada, the U.S., and abroad. Approximately 70% of the attendees are from Canada, 25% from the U.S., and 5% are international.
The CRC is planned and executed by an executive committee of six to eight members, drawn from the insurance and reinsurance industry in Canada. Committee members serve for 3 years, with terms staggered so that two to three people leave the committee and new members join each year. This structure provides continuity and ensures there are always experienced members with knowledge and insights for the group to draw on. New committee members are selected by the existing committee into one of two streams. One incoming member will serve as a director in their 3-year term. The other new member will take on the roles of incoming chair, chair, and past chair.
An important role of the CRC executive committee had been to sponsor the preparation of the Canadian Reinsurance Guidelines. First issued in 1984, they provide an industry standard of practice which is relied upon by insurers and reinsurers across Canada and which is the envy of reinsurers world-wide. Many companies use the guidelines as a basis for preparing minor changes to their reinsurance treaties. In situations where a treaty is not in place, or it is silent on a particular topic, the guidelines are looked to by both parties to determine the terms of their relationship. In 2006 the responsibility for maintaining and updating the guidelines was moved to the CLHIA.

Your body is unique to You. As facilitators, we learn how to offer these teachings by observing and working with You. For an in-depth engagement with your practice, private classes are ideal too
Class Descriptions

Following the training, Marie had the unique opportunity to study, practice, live and teach with Master Yogi Larry Schultz for 7 years before he passed in 2011, leaving Marie with the It's Yoga® legacy to carry forth and grow globally. Thus, she founded It's Yoga® International (IYI) where she serves as Director and directly collaborates with the IYI Affiliates, Trainers and Graduates on daily basis.

Makes about 4 pints
1. Heat the water and lemon juice in a saucepan, add the rose petals, and simmer for 10 minutes. With a wooden spoon, squeeze most of the petal pulp against the edge of the pan to release the juice. Leave a small amount of pulp in the pan for texture.
2. Return the liquid to a simmer and sprinkle in the pectin. Stir until dissolved. Add the sugar.
3. Increase the heat and boil vigorously for 7 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Immediately place the jam in hot sterilized jars and seal.

Also we are talking about a consensual environment, not cases involving abuse.
Alright. I'll take a shot at this.
Just to clarify, you are against the notion that pre-marital sex is wrong, correct?
I will be defending that premarital sex among large populations is wrong.
Five rounds, so the first is for acceptance I take it. Well I accept obvoiusly :P
Firstly, I will acknowledge that pre-marital sex has been considered taboo or sinful by many different cultures for a long time. Sex used to necessarily mean the possibility of conception, which adds layers of complication for a woman before and during the mid 20th century. But as technology developed means were invented of eliminating this possibility if one so chose. Thus sex now does not inherently carry with it the responsibility of possible conception and so we see the blossoming of female sexuality.
So now the issue is solely about the 'sharing' of one's sex with another. Without getting in depth, in a theological sense sex is considered extremely precious and a mystery which is only properly experienced in a marriage context[1]. If it is pre-marital it is considered a violation of one's body or a prostitution of one's self.
In this debate, I will argue that there is no moral evidence for this point of view and that it should not be dictated as a moral fact.
1. Sex can be equally as important or 'precious' outside of a marriage contract.
2. It is the right of the person to experience sex with another consensual partner how so ever they choose, dictating to another the 'proper' way to express themselves is not embracing and respecting of others values and perspectives.
3. There is no evidence to suggest that one's body is 'violated' by pre-marital sex any more than sex in marriage. Emotionally there may be the same feelings involved during and after as a couple in a marriage situation.
4. Prostituting oneself is an emotive phrase attributing low self respect and low self esteem to, in particular, a woman participating in pre-marital sex. It is an acutely derogative term and insults self-respecting women's free choice to have sex.
Thank you to my opponent for his initial arguments!
My opponent's resolution appears to be that "Premarital-Sex is not morally wrong"
Wrong - An unjust, dishonest, or immoral action. http://www.google.com...;
Also, marraige will be refered to as any permenant, long term monogamous relationship that ends in death.
What is morality
This is a big question in today's society: What is morality? The common libertarian definition of morality follows along these lines: Do whatever you want so as long as nobody gets hurt as a result of it. This definition is obviously flawed.
First off, this would mean it is morally wrong for two people to consentually box eachother, or participate in any sort of physical, hands-on sport. It also doesn't deal with the realm of potentially harmful. For instance, surrounding pre-marital sex obviously lies the possibilities of emotional trauma, STD's, and unwanted pregnancies. But using this definition while still maintaining the notion that pre-marital sex is not morally wrong, it would have to be morally right to play Russian Roullette, considering the game is only dealing with potential harm.
Another possible definition is: Whatever has benefits that outweighs the losses, possible or not, can be considered morally acceptable. (With the taking of a life as the most extreme loss) I like this definition, and will support it in this debate.
So for my opponent to show that premarital sex is not morally wrong, he will need to do one of the following:
Show how my definition of morality is flawwed.
Show how premarital sex (No arguments that could be used in substitute for marital sex would work) benefits more than it would potentially lose.
One of the many risks of premarital-sex is the risk of unwanted pregnancies. This is a big deal in our society, with over 40% of children being born to mothers outside of wed-lock. (1) Surely, on a universal scale, this risk outweighs the possible benefits of pre-marital sex.
If morality is defined by a benefit to risk ratio, pre-marital sex is morally wrong. I now hand over to my opponent.
My opponent's definition of morality as "benefits outweighing the losses" does not argue against pre-marital sex, it just says that its wrong to engage in it irresponsibly. An example of this would be to bring a baby into an unstable and unprepared environment due to unprotected sex. I am not debating this, neither am I debating that acting irresponsibly and engaging in unprotected sex doesn't incur a risk of becoming infected with sexually transmitted diseases.
So the cons of sex are quite easily negated to almost nil when the participants act responsibly. And irresponsible behaviour is another debate topic all together.
If you add to this that sex can be a very pleasurable and gratifying experience along with various beneficial health effects, the resulting conclusion is that it is not morally wrong.
Therefore, according to my opponent's definition, It is reasonable to conclude that if two consenting adults act responsibly by practising safe sex (if a baby is undesired and/or unprepared for and to prevent STI's) they are not acting morally objectionably.
It is not justified to attribute the potential risks to the act of pre-marital sex, but rather, to irresponsible sexual activity.
To engage your other point on emotional trauma, I would like to remind you that we are referring to consentual and non-abusive sex.
My opponents Round 3 mostly consisted of claim dropping. I will do my best to rebute most, if not all of them.
His first claim was that out of wed-lock births were mostly just people preparing to get married and decided to have children before. This sounds nice (although really unbelievable), but in the source I gave there was stated to be around 11.6 million parents in the U.S. are the single parents of one or more children. (See comments). Now, this can obviously be seen as a negative thing, as children raised by single parents often experience emotional problems and make up a majority of the 'guests' at juvenile detention centers. This is obviously a bad thing.
Next, my opponent said that we are debating sex with no risk involved, and completely responsible. Actually, the only way to remove risk is to have a woman's tubes tied or a man to get a vasectomy. But that is beside the point. All in all, it is safe to say objective morality does not exist outside the realms of religion. What I am defending is the notion that if the risk outweighs the possible benefits, then we should simply consider the action morally wrong. Morals apply to society. Society is as strong as it's weakest members. Those members will be irresponsible when dealing with matters of sex. They account for 40% of out of wed-lock births. This is an obvious negative effect, and does sufficiently attribute more risk than possible gain.
If my opponent really wants to debate what is alright when variables are controlled, he will find that he can justify doing pretty much anything. For instance, government prisoner executions can be considered morally justified. Of course the taking of a specific persons life is never a good thing, but the benefits outweigh the risks in this case. The same could be said about sterile sex; I'm sure the possible benefits of feeling good about yourself and exercising that muscle on your lower end are good benefits when there are no risks. However, risks exist for non-sterile people, and they greatly outweigh those benefits.
But here arises an interesting question, "What measures the risks in comparison to the benefits?" But the answer is really simple. Just imagine your life without sex outside of marriage. Is it really that bad? If you really can't help yourself; get married! Then imagine a life with a child you are either going to abandon of be forced to take care of. The imagine sex again. Now you simply ask yourself was it worth the 2-45 minutes of pleasure? For me, the answer is obvious.
But there is another problem here; the same could be said about driving a car. Every time you get into a car, you risk dying. Then you would end up asking yourself was driving the car worth it? Of course not. So we need to incorporate risk factors here. In driving, that risk is pretty insignifigant. In sex, however, the risk is experienced by 11.6 million out of wed-lock single parents in the US.
Blah, I'm done. I turn over.
Premise 2: these members will be irresponsible when dealing with matters of sex
I will correct my opponent's confusingly worded and highly derogatory conclusion:They (weakest members of society; Couples giving birth out of wed-lock) account for 40% of births.
I will try to put things into perspective. 69% of unplanned pregnancies occur to unmarried women while 31% of unintended pregnancies occur to married women[1]. As there were 3 million unintended pregnancies in 2001, which was the most recent year in which adequate information was available [1], this means there were almost a million unplanned pregnancies to married women. Now according to my opponents risk to benefits scenario, this would mean that sex during marriage is also unacceptable if the couple is not planning to have a baby.
Now another misleading statistic produced by my opponent. He says there are 11.6 million out of wed-lock single parents in the U.S. This infers that all these single parents are the result of pre-marital sex. whereas if you take into account that 1 in 2 children will see their parents divorce and half of these kids will also see the break up of a parent's second marriage[2], we see things now a little clearer. It is not just that single parents are the result of pre-marital conception, but also the failure of a marriage and consequential divorce.
So now we see that marriages can also produce the negative child-rearing circumstances that my opponent has portrayed, along with the emotional trauma of a divorce.
To use my opponent's suggestion that society is only as strong as its (morally) weakest members; (and) these members will be irresponsible when dealing with matters of sex, the necessary conclusion is that sex is wrong during marriage as well, unless they are planning to have a child from the act of sex and they are 100% committed to the relationship during the course of raising a child. But my opponent's premise that society is only as strong as its (morally) weakest members interferes with my conclusion as they may not be trusted to remain together for the entire time of the raising of the child. Therefore, I re-conclude that sex, according to my opponent's premises, may be wrong full stop.
And to correct my opponent's assumption made earlier, I did not say that pre-marital births were from couples preparing to get married, I said "An out of wed-lock couple may still have desired and been fully prepared for the arrival of a child."
My conclusion from this round of my argument is that irresponsibility lies not only in the pre-marital scene but also in marriage. Therefore nullifying the argument that pre-marital sex is wrong due to irresponsibility because, as my opponent argues that marriage is the only right context for sex as married couples contain only sexually responsible people and I have proved that sexual irresponsibility exists quite thoroughly in the marriage context as well, it thus follows that his argument contradicts itself and holds little weight.

In my first main paragraph, I've used unintended and mistakenly not corrected it to unplanned.
Also I've been busy and thoroughly exhausted over the past 2 days so left my argument a little late, sorry.

'The Walking Dead's Wolves: Meet The Group's Scary Season 6 Threat
The Wolves haunted viewers of 'The Walking Dead' all throughout season 5. Now that we've finally met them, here's every reason we should be more terrified of them than any other villain on the series.
On the March 29 episode of The Walking Dead, Morgan's return also provided us with an introduction to The Wolves. They've left warning messages and a trail of blood all throughout season 5, and now it's time to know what Rick and the group will be up against when season 6 premieres in late 2015.
'The Walking Dead's Wolves: Season 6's New Villains
The Wolves are a force to be reckoned with, and they definitely showed us that on the season 5 finale of The Walking Dead. Unfortunately, Daryl, Aaron, Rick, and Morgan may not realize what they are up against just yet.
For comic book readers, The Wolves are one of two upcoming groups of villains: either they are the DC Scavengers or they are The Saviors. Fans have speculated both, but many believe Negan, the leader of The Saviors, is coming in season 6 — which makes them the most likely candidate for the The Wolves.
'The Walking Dead': Rick Wins Over Alexandria & Finally Kills [SPOILER]
The Saviors are vicious, relentless killers who would put previous villains like The Governor and even the people of Terminus to shame. For instance, the group's leader, Negan, likes to burn people who disobey him by pressing a hot iron to their face. This goes hand-in-hand with the idea that The Wolves enjoy torturing people, as we've seen so many of their victims in different scenarios — like being tied to a tree and eaten alive.
The Wolves' Warehouse Also Alludes To The Saviors
One more thing that points to The Saviors is what Daryl and Aaron encountered at the food warehouse during the season 5 finale. In the comic books, Negan lives inside of a warehouse with his many, many wives.
When Daryl inspected the trucks outside of the warehouse he was clearly suspicious, but it wasn't enough to stop him from prying one open. It ended up being a trap, and when the trucks opened they let out dozens of hungry walkers. Not only was it clever, but it was the first time Daryl's life was put in real danger.
Negan also likes his group to cover their weapons in zombie guts, so if they shoot or stab someone they become infected — just like a zombie bite.
Although we've only met two of The Wolves, there has to be more somewhere. There is no way those two young men were able to take out Shirewilt earlier in the season on their own, and there's no way they could take out Alexandria on their own, either.
Tell us, HollywoodLifers — Do you think The Wolves pose a threat to Rick and Alexandria? Do you think everyone is in danger with them around? Comment below with your thoughts!

|[jira] Updated: (MAPREDUCE-1436) Deadlock in preemption code in fair scheduler
|Mon, 15 Feb 2010 03:43:28 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1436?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Matei Zaharia updated MAPREDUCE-1436: ------------------------------------- Attachment: mapreduce-1436-v2.patch Here's a new patch that always locks the JobTracker before locking the FairScheduler in update(). This should resolve both of the deadlocks reported above. I've also increased the default update interval from 0.5 seconds to 2.5 seconds in this patch. The only negative impact of this should be that preemption and speculation take slightly longer to kick in. These are really the only reasons we need to call update() other than when jobs are added and removed; speculative tasks are counted in updateDemand, and preemption is checked regularly in updatePreemptionVariables(). I've also thought a bit about the impact of coarser locking on performance of the JobTracker, and I think it's actually not that much. First of all, since assignTasks already locks the FairScheduler, we wouldn't get much farther by locking only the FS in update() and not the JT, because the JT calls assignTasks on every heartbeat anyway. Second, I timed update() on a simulated cluster with 2500 nodes, 4 slots per node, 100 jobs and 20 pools, and one call to update() took about 50 ms. With the new default update interval of 2500 ms, only 2% of the time in the JobTracker should be spent on this (and for such a large cluster, the update interval can be upped through the config file anyway). > Deadlock in preemption code in fair scheduler > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-1436 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1436 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: contrib/fair-share > Affects Versions: 0.21.0, 0.22.0 > Reporter: Matei Zaharia > Assignee: Matei Zaharia > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: deadlock.png, mapreduce-1436-v2.patch, mapreduce-1436.patch > > > In testing the fair scheduler with preemption, I found a deadlock between updatePreemptionVariables and some code in the JobTracker.

Have you ever gotten so mad at a game that you've broken controller?
I have, but surprisingly not any of my Sony controllers. I remember I would toss my Dual Shock 2 across the room when I would get upset playing DBZ Budokai 2 on PS2. I still get mad at games, but I don't throw controllers anymore. It really changes your perspective when you are the one paying for them haha.

Do you also hurry, half-dressed and barefoot, into the garden,
and softly,
and exclaiming of their dearness,
fill your arms with the white and pink flowers,
with their honeyed heaviness, their lush trembling,
their eagerness
to be wild and perfect for a moment, before they are
nothing, forever?
– excerpt from Peonies, Mary Oliver (a favorite poet of mine)

Risk factors for respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis hospital admission in New Zealand.
Grimwood, K; Cohet, C; Rich, FJ; Cheng, S; Wood, C; Redshaw, N; Cunningham, CW; Pearce, N; Kirman, JR; (2008) Risk factors for respiratory syncytial virus bronchiolitis hospital admission in New Zealand. Epidemiology and infection, 136 (10). pp. 1333-41. ISSN 0950-2688 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0950268807000180

This study assessed risk factors for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) hospitalization and disease severity in Wellington, New Zealand. During the southern hemisphere winter months of 2003--2005, 230 infants aged < 24 months hospitalized with bronchiolitis were recruited. RSV was indentified in 141 (61%) infants. Comparison with data from all live hospital births from the same region (2003--2005) revealed three independent risk factors for RSV hospitalization: birth between February and July [adjusted risk ratio (aRR) 1.62, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.5-2.29], gestation <37 weeks (aRR 2.29, 95% CI 1.48-3.56) and M?ori ethnicity (aRR 3.64, 95% CI 2.27-5.85), or Pacific ethnicity (aRR 3.60, 95% CI 2.14-6.06). The high risk for M?ori and Pacific infants was only partially accounted for by other known risk factors. This work highlights the importance of RSV disease in indigenous and minority populations, and identifies the need for further research to develop public health measures that can reduce health disparities.

Heard the one about The Graduate being based on a real-life family living in Pasadena? Hollywood myth acts as the springboard for Rob Reiner's 13th feature, as Sarah Huttinger (Jennifer Aniston) discovers her spiky grandma (Shirley MacLaine) was the template for Mrs Robinson. Sarah's mom, aka Elaine Robinson, is now dead, but the guy they both boffed (Kevin Costner) is still very much alive... and eager to carve another Huttinger notch into his bedpost.
Early signs weren't good for Rumour Has It..., Reiner stepping in as a favour to Warner Bros after debut helmer Ted Griffin exited the project. But Reiner has cranked out his best effort in a decade, an assured rom-com comprised of breezy direction, beguiling performances, regular yaks and a satisfying emotional undertow. Faultless? Hardly. Clichéd? Sometimes. Enjoyable? Hell yes.

If you're unlucky enough to spot a mouse in your house, guess what? There's never just one mouse. You've got mice! And given that nearly a third of Americans admit they've had a rodent problem, it's well worth preparing for the inevitable invasion of these pests. Do it now!
Our cheat sheet here contains everything that you need to know about these critters, and how to kick them out of your abode for good.
Fact No. 1: Cheese isn't their favorite food
Cartoonists have led us astray! It's a myth that cheddar is a mouse's first-choice snack. Cheese, in fact, isn't even in the rodent's top three meals: fruits, seeds, and grains. At the end of the day, though, the insatiable omnivores don't actually discriminate. (Eating between 15 and 20 times a day, it would be hard for them to be picky.) When starving, mice will eat their droppings, their children, and their very own tails. (Sorry if you're eating right now.)
Fact No. 2: They can squeeze through openings the size of a dime
Because the critters don't have a collarbone, they are able to wiggle through holes as teeny as a quarter-inch wide.
"Mice enter homes through cracks and holes in walls, floors, and foundations," says Cindy Mannes, vice president of public affairs at the National Pest Management Association. "If drainage pipes are not properly sealed, mice can even get in the home through sink and bathtub drains."
Her advice? Seal cracks and holes on the outside of the home using caulk and steel wool, install door sweeps on exterior doors; and always store food in airtight containers and dispose of garbage regularly.
Fact No. 3: They mark territory just like dogs
Mice droppings are often the first sign of an infestation, and, unpleasantly enough, it's not a tricky one to detect. Mice aren't all that discreet about where they do their business.
Every day, a single house mouse leaves behind 40 to 100 pellets of feces (through which more than 35 diseases can be spread). But their liquid waste is even more alarming.
Male mice constantly release droplets of urine to mark their territory. If another critter comes along, he'll often challenge the claim with a " countermark" of his urine. And this pissing contest isn't just gross, the pee also poses a significant health risk for humans. Studies show that the proteins in mice urine can trigger allergies and asthma.
Fact No. 4: One mouse can pop out 150 babies a year
Rabbits may have the reputation for always getting busy, but they've got nothing on mice. Female mice are able to have up to 12 babies every three weeks beginning when they're just 2 months old. The possible grand tally? About 150 babies in 12 months, turning a small rodent problem into a big one, pronto.
Fact No. 5: Their teeth never stop growing
Unchecked, mice are practically unstoppable thanks to their ability to chomp through most barriers, including plastic, rubber, vinyl, insulating foam, wood, drywall, and even electrical wires. The biting isn't just about breaking through to stashes of food, either.
"Mice gnaw constantly to keep their teeth from overgrowing," explains the expert. Mice teeth, in fact, never stop growing. Chew on this: If they aren't worn down by gnawing, each of the vermin's 16 teeth will grow up to five inches a year.
Fact No. 6: Cats can't help much
Wouldn't it be great to just rely on your feline to take care of business for you? The truth is, not all cats are capable of catching mice, nor do all want to. Many simply tolerate mice if they're being well-fed already. The idea that mice will avoid a cat-filled home is false, too, unfortunately. Sure, the rodents may smell a predator on-site, but if they're hungry enough they'll venture out and about anyway.
Fact No. 7: Old-school snap traps are the best solution
There are lots of DIY ways to catch and kill rodents in your home. Mice baits, aka rodenticides, are essentially pesticides disguised as mice treats that attract and kill the vermin that ingest them. The problem is, they often fail (if another source of food is available, rodents will ignore the bait) and they pose a poisoning risk to pets and children who could get a hold of them.
Furthermore, if a mouse retreats behind a wall and then dies, you've just bombed your house with a rotting carcass you'll have to tear up the baseboards to find. Instead, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends snap and also electronic traps. Each kills a rodent on contact, via spring-loaded bar and battery-powered electric shock, respectively. Glue traps and live traps, though, are a no-no, the CDC adds, since trapped mice freak out and pee, thus exposing you to all the diseases that you're trying to avoid. Rats!
Fact No. 8: They have facial expressions like ours
Just when it's tempting to think of a mischief (the actual term used to describe a group of mice -- fitting, right?) that has infiltrated your home as the devil's spawn, consider this: Mice in pain have facial expressions so similar to humans that scientists have created a " mouse grimace scale" to evaluate the efficacy of new drugs that they're testing on rodents.
Aching mice apparently squint their eyes and bulge their noses and their cheeks just like us. OK, now we're really weirded out.

I decided after a week or so of my daughter using random toys to check our eyes, I bought her a Doc McStuffins doctor kit. This was the second night in a row she refused to take off the stethoscope and put down the Otoscope. I love this photo because she's a girl after my own heart, she's multi-tasking, but every good doctor needs to learn to write a prescription too! She takes her playing (and coloring) very serious.

PDIC wins Anvil awards
March 16, 2017
Double citation. The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) won two Anvil Silver Awards for its public relations tools during the Public Relations Society of the Philippines (PRSP) 52nd Anvil Awards Gabi ng Parangal on March 10, 2017 at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel. The awards are for its 2015 Annual Report and its hosting of the 14th Annual Meeting and International Conference of the Asia-Pacific Regional Committee of the International Association of Deposit Insurers in Iloilo City in June 2016. The 2015 Annual Report was recognized for depicting PDICs commitment to further spread its wings to attain new heights in terms of public service, revealing the accomplishments it gained along the way. Meanwhile, the hosting of the International Conference, with the theme Raising Public Awareness on Depositor Protection, was awarded for bringing together for the first time, communication experts in the field of advertising and public relations to interact with practitioners from deposit insurance agencies. PDIC President Roberto B. Tan (center) led the PDIC delegation that received the awards. He is joined by (L-R): Vice President Jose G. Villaret, Jr. (Corporate Affairs Group), Executive VP Ma. Ana Carmela L. Villegas, General Counsel Ma. Antonette Brillantes-Bolivar, and Senior VP Sandra A. Diaz. This is the second straight year that the deposit insurer won the much-coveted Anvil Awards after its official newsletter, Intercom, won in 2016 a Silver Anvil Award in recognition of its achievements in showcasing a memento of the milestones achieved together by the PDIC workforce. In 2014, PDICs financial literacy guidebook, Usapang Pera: Mga Dapat Alamin, won an Anvil Award of Merit in recognition of its excellence as a PR tool in promoting financial literacy in the country.

The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation (PDIC) was established on June 22, 1963 by Republic Act 3591 to provide depositor protection and help maintain stability in the financial system by providing deposit insurance. Effective June 1, 2009, the maximum deposit insurance coverage is P500,000 per depositor. All deposit accounts by a depositor in a closed bank maintained in the same right and capacity shall be added together. A joint account shall be insured separately from any individually-owned deposit account.
