A Russian consumer protection organization has announced that it may seek to ban poultry imports from the United States, in light of the recent salmonella outbreak from U.S. eggs. The outbreak sickened more than 1,300 people even before the recent nationwide recall, and more are likely to be affected.

As most everyone will have read by now, U.S. District Court Chief Justice Vaughn R. Walker released his opinion on Perry v. Schwarzenegger which ruled Proposition 8 unconstitutional and legalized gay marriage for the state of California. The campaign in support of this trial has been one of the most vocal that I can remember. Obviously,... - August 5, 2010 | <a href="/users/ashley-mccollum">Ashley</a> <a href="/users/ashley-mccollum">McCollum</a>
I grew up in California which is one of the fourteen states (and Washington D.C.) that has legalized medical marijuana. In order to gain a medical marijuana pass you have to possess a condition that a doctor feels could treated or controlled with the assistance of marijuana. Approved conditions include migraines, muscle spasms, or other... - August 5, 2010 | <a href="/users/t-chustz">Taylor</a> <a href="/users/t-chustz">Chustz</a>As I look through the internet after my Russian class I came across a few articles. Both talk about Pre-School and Kindergarten, specifically about the prices for such schools.

Soon, local production was wiped out and Haiti became reliant on rice imports. Now that rice prices have risen more than 50 percent it is difficult, if not... - July 23, 2010 | <a href="/users/meeran-karim">Meeran</a> <a href="/users/meeran-karim">Karim</a>
Google, the world’s most popular Internet search engine, has found in a survey that mostly Muslim states seek access to sex-related websites and Pakistan tops the list.

I remember watching the 81st academy awards (in my pajamas of course, it was afterall six in the morning, damn time differences!) and witnessing the surreal atmosphere in the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles as “Slumdog Millionaire” won a grand total of eight Academy Awards. It was a triumph for the British-born director Danny Boyle. But I... - May 20, 2010 | <a href="/users/lydiabowers">Lydia</a> <a href="/users/lydiabowers">Bowers</a>
For years students have joked that lunch is their favorite class, mainly as a chance to see friends. It is now time for them to also love the food.
