Staffers heard on the police scanner this morning about kids obstructing snow plows to prevent plows from creating berms at the driveways of their homes. Police responded to this incident. Folks wondered if the parents are involved (whether the parents are telling their kids to be human shields), or whether this was a case of kids not wanting to shovel snow. No kid can conceive of this on his or her own, other editors argued, but "I don't know, there are some pretty lazy kids out there," said photo director Larry Reisnouer. Was there too much news coverage on snow? Editor Steve Smith noted that staffers who are normally against weather stories were producing great coverage for today's paper in print and online. Well it snowed and the roads are dangerous - not just for people who drive and walk, but for the elderly and those who have disabilities, folks said.
Disney to recruit interns at UNLV
Though these jobs may not seem like typical internship work, Bolivar said that it is the “Disney difference" that makes it worthwhile. “It doesn't matter what you did there, it matters that you were there," Bolivar said. Wellington works at the gift shops at the All Star Resorts and agrees that the experience in polishing her communication skills and learning to better serve customers is what sets the internship apart from the rest. To motivate interns, positions are even given different names to help workers remember that they are there to entertain. Employees are called cast members, customers are called guests, uniforms are refereed to as costumes and when at work interns are on-stage. During the internship, students live in apartments with anywhere from three to five roommates.

Hillary Clinton on Foreign Policy
But I will not be penciling in the leaders of Iran or North Korea or Venezuela or Cuba on the presidential calendar without preconditions, until we have assessed through lower level diplomacy, the motivations and intentions of these dictators. Raul Castro, for example, has a stark choice. He can continue to stifle human rights and economic freedom in Cuba, or he can chart a new course toward democratic reform. We need to engage with our allies in Latin America and Europe to encourage Cuba on to the right path. But we simply cannot legitimize rogue regimes or weaken American prestige by impulsively agreeing to presidential level talks that have no preconditions. It may sound good but it doesn't meet the real world test of foreign policy. I have traveled to so many countries working on issues involving some of the most intractable challenges we face.
Robbie Keane joins the legends after 100th goal
In the Tottenham dressing room I pinned up a motto: "The Team is the Star". If any player sums up that philosophy, it’s Robbie Keane. Normally it’s not the best combination to have a striker as your skipper. Robbie is different. He’ll do any job a manager asks and seeks togetherness with teammates socially as well as on the pitch. Character-wise, if you had 11 Robbie Keanes on your side, you’d have a chance of winning any game. Robbie doesn’t play the game for personal accolades but deserves any which come his way, and yesterday he reached 100 against Sunderland. Only two other players in the past 30 years have reached a century. Their identities, Teddy Sheringham and Glenn Hoddle, show how special it is. At Spurs, Robbie is appreciated, the fans regularly voting him player of the year, but I wonder whether in the country he gets the recognition he deserves.
Relegation a threat as Newcastle sink lower
When you lose a game you know you should win maybe it's twice as disappointing," Keegan said. Hughes believes Keegan will guide Newcastle out of their tailspin, which has seen his seven matches in charge yield five defeats and two draws. In pics: Premier League actionFootball fans' forum"I'm surprised there hasn't been a Keegan effect on the pitch, though there has been a fantastic effect on the surrounding area," Hughes said. "The scenes you saw when he was appointed prove that. Maybe it hasn't quite happened on the pitch yet, but it's only a matter of time. But the longer they go without a positive result, the more tension and apprehension there will be. I'm sure they'll have enough to stay up." .
