Opportunity in Swahili at The University of Mississippi
The Department of Modern Languages has funding to support someone to do a 2-year master's degree in Modern Languages with a specialization in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL), Spanish, French or German while teaching two basic Swahili courses each semester for two years. We can offer a stipend of $5,250 per semester ($10,500 per year), which will be split between the Departments of Modern Languages and African-American Studies. This assistantship will waive both resident and non-resident tuition and will be offered for four semesters with successful academic progression toward the master’s degree. We anticipate courses with about ten students in them per semester in both Swahili 1 and 2.
This is a great opportunity to do a master's degree at UM and to get additional teaching experience in Swahili, while being completely funded to do so. For more information, please contact Dr. Donald L. Dyer, Chair, Department of Modern Languages, The University of Mississippi, University, MS 38677 [mldyer@olemiss.edu].

Justin Bieber Faces Ban from Philippines
Justin Bieber appears to have finally found a way to win over the 18-30 male demographic.
Unfortunately for the 18-year-old pop singer, it may come at the cost a ban from entering the Philippines.
Following Filipino boxing hero Manny Pacquiao’s emphatic KO at the fists of perennial rival Juan Manuel Marquez earlier this month, the Canadian teen took to his Instagram account and posted photoshopped images of the unconscious fighter.

President Barack Obama stands with Vice President Joe Biden as he makes a statement Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012, in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington, about policies he will pursue following the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Ct. Obama is tasking Vice President Joe Biden, a longtime gun control advocate, with spearheading the effort
By Jule Pace
WASHINGTON (AP) — Spurred by a horrific elementary school shooting, President Barack Obama tasked his administration Wednesday with creating concrete proposals to reduce gun violence that has plagued the country.
"This time, the words need to lead to action," said Obama, who set a January deadline for the recommendations. He vowed to push for their implementation without delay.The president, who exerted little political capital on gun control during his first term, also pressed Congress to reinstate an assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004. He also called for stricter background checks for people who seek to purchase weapons and limited high capacity clips.
"The fact that this problem is complex can no longer be an excuse for doing nothing," Obama said. "The fact that we can't prevent every act of violence doesn't mean we can't steadily reduce the violence."

Coca-Cola Rumors and Facts!!!
Unfortunately, the incredible power of the Internet is sometimes used to spread false information about our products. There are several baseless rumors circulating on the Internet claiming to be part of or affiliated with a Coca-Cola-sponsored promotion or marketing program. We've gathered some of those rumors here so that you can easily get the facts about these false claims.
Rumor: Scam postings claim to show "horrific" video about Coca-Cola
Fact
Messages posted on Facebook and Twitter are claiming to provide links that users can click to view a supposedly "horrific" video showing the "truth" about Coca-Cola.
In fact, there is no such video. Users who try to view the video are instead asked to share links to the content and to respond to surveys requesting personal information. This activity appears to be part of a phishing scam in which perpetrators attempt to obtain personal information that can be used to commit identify theft. Consumers should avoid clicking on these links and should not provide any personal information. Anyone who has provided information to these sites should contact their local and/or federal authorities for advice on how to protect their personal information and privacy.
Rumor: Coca-Cola job offers/job posting websites
Fact
The Coca-Cola Company has learned of emails in circulation and postings on internet websites that falsely offer jobs to individuals. Two examples include:
Emails or websites that offer jobs to individuals willing to collect money on behalf of Coca-Cola for charity work in Georgia and Asia. The subject line on such emails may read "Coca-Cola Jobs" and may refer to Coca-Cola Charity Coordinator, Coca-ColaCharityCoordinator@live.com, and/or Tony Cook.
A website using the url www.instanthumanrecources.com that claims to be an official job site for the Company. The fraudulent job application requests personal information, including Social Security numbers and copies of driver’s licenses. The website has been designed to look legitimate by including Company images, photographs and other trademarks.
In some cases, the perpetrators have contacted the victims and falsely claimed to hire them in order to obtain additional personal and financial information and in some cases have asked them to cash fraudulent checks and send them money.
The Coca-Cola Company is ..
