Internships The New Form Of Slavery
nyunews.com:
Interns, on the other hand, are expendable and exploited. Internships keep you imprisoned as the corporate errand boy with the tenuous promise of maybe being able to use the big, shiny photocopier one day if you can master the outgoing mail. And while it may come as a shock to hear that you were never part of Morgan Stanley's 10-year plan, the employer is not the only one complicit in this dupe of an internship.

Unpaid Internships Investigated: 'Mostly Drudgery' Means Employers Must Usually Pay, Say Regulators
New York Times:
Convinced that many unpaid internships violate minimum wage laws, officials in Oregon, California and other states have begun investigations and fined employers. Last year, M.

How To Get Your Credit Report For Free
Now that it will be easier to find your free credit report, you may be curious about who else can see it and how it can be used.
Starting Friday, a new Federal Trade Commission rule will require Web sites advertising free reports to direct consumers to the government-approved . TV and radio ads must do the same starting Sept. 1.

The problem is that these ads typically don't disclose that the advertised free reports are part of a package of services that can cost as much as $14.95 a month. Consumers may not realize they can get free reports with no strings attached.
Once a report is in hand, however, it only raises a slew of other questions. Here's what you need to know about credit reports and scores.
THERE'S MORE THAN ONE FREEBIE A YEAR
Let's start by clarifying when you can get free credit reports.
You're entitled to a free copy every year from each of the credit reporting agencies – Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Off the bat, that means you get three free reports a year.
On top of that, you can request free reports if you're the victim of identity fraud or unemployed and looking for work. In the latter case, the idea is that you should know what's on your report in case a potential employer wants to pull it. You're also entitled to free copies if you think your report has errors or if it's ever used against you.

Goodbye "Charlie" - John Forsythe, Television Legend, Dies at 92
Actor John Forsythe, who became one of the biggest television stars ever thanks to major roles in 'Charlie's Angels,' Dynasty' and 'Bachelor Father,' has passed away at the age of 92 after a year-long battle with cancer.

According to his IMDB biography, Forsythe began his early career was interrupted by World War II, during which he served in the Army Air Corps. In 1957, he struck television gold with 'Bachelor Father,' where for 157 episodes he played the lead character of Bentley Gregg.

Forsythe was married three times, and was still married to Nicole Carter at the time of his death.
