This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

A drunken man staggers in to a Catholic church and sits down in a confession box and says nothing. The bewildered priest coughs to attract his attention, but still the man says nothing.

The priest then knocks on the wall three times in a final attempt to get the man to speak.

Finally, the drunk replies, “No use knocking, there’s no paper in this one either.”

‘We thank God all of them are healthy and happy,’ says dad.

ABBOTSFORD, British Columbia - A woman has given birth to her 18th child in British Columbia, making her the province’s most prolific mother in 20 years.

Proud dad Alexandru Ionce said Saturday that his 44-year-old wife, Livia, gave birth on Tuesday. Their daughter Abigail weighed in at 7 pounds, 12 ounces.

“We never planned how many children to have. We just let God guide our lives, you know, because we strongly believe life comes from God and that’s the reason we did not stop the life,” said Alexandru Ionce.

The couple immigrated to Canada from Romania in 1990 and now lives in Abbotsford, British Columbia. Their 17 other children range in age from 20 months to 23 years old.

Ionce said he did not know if the couple would have more children. The family now has 10 girls and eight boys.

“We would have liked a boy to be even,” he said. “We thank God all of them are healthy and happy.”

Ionce said the family has received calls from Germany, Romania and England, as well as from media outlets across Canada.

I am a small-business owner who does the hiring for my company. I hope you will share some suggestions for young people who are now applying for postgraduate jobs.

-From a 26-year-old professional who expects more from my peers than I have seen.

1. Every contact with a prospective employer is a mini-interview. Present yourself appropriately. I have received many inappropriate e-mails. Example: “Hey, when would this gig start?” Please remember to use a salutation and communicate politely and clearly.
2. Many companies post a great deal of information about job openings on their Web sites. Read the site carefully before calling so I won’t waste time answering questions you could have answered on your own.
3. Shortcuts may be cute when text-messaging your friends, but in business they are annoying and unprofessional. Avoid messages such as “Thnx 4 ur help. Talk 2 u later!”
4. Because I must read your resume and application, please proofread it for spelling, grammar and typos.
5. Many Internet sites now offer free e-mail. Set up an account using your name or initial so I don’t have to e-mail “hotchick99″ with an offer to teach young children.
6. If you have a phone interview, please find a quiet place from which to place the call. It is difficult to understand you above your roommate who is cursing over a video game.
7. Never, ever tell a prospective employer you are waiting to hear about a job you want more, that pays more or gives you more “fun” time. Simply say you are “exploring all your options,” and I will understand.

July 24, 2008 – Scientists don’t know what happened on Mars that caused its magnetic field to collapse. They suspect the planet’s liquid metallic core cooled, ending convective currents that spread magnetic field lines through the planet’s rock and soil and out into space.

But that may just be part of the story.

A team of researchers led by Jafar Arkani-Hamed of the University of Toronto in Canada believe a large asteroid circling the planet set up a gravitational tug-of-war that got Mars’ core churning. Eventually, the asteroid lost its grip and crashed into its parent planet. Mars paid a dear price as well. Without the tidal forces, the planet’s core lost its momentum, killing off the magnetic field.

What remain are patches of strong magnetic imprints in the oldest parts of Mars’ crust. Because the fresher surface features are magnetic-free, scientists believe Mars lost its shield about four billion years ago.

Laboratory tests and computer simulations by Arkani-Hamed and colleagues and published in the Journal of Geophysical Research last month show a large asteroid circling about 46,000 miles above Mars could have had a strong enough pull on Mars to coax its liquid core into moving. The dynamic would have lasted about 400 million years before the asteroid crashed, demagnetizing Mars.

“Once it impacted, there were no tidal forces anymore so it couldn’t power the dynamo,” Arkani-Hamed told Discovery News.

The theory could explain why Mars’ vigorous core suddenly grew still.

“Maybe a core dynamo wasn’t powered by convection, but by asteroid tidal forces,” he said.

Walter Kiefer with the Lunar & Planetary Institute in Houston follows the logic, but doesn’t see how an asteroid as large as the one needed to tug Mars’ core would have been captured by the planet’s gravity in the first place.

“I just don’t know how to dissipate the energy to get it into orbit around Mars, ” he said. “Until that step is made, it’s hard for me to regard this as the right model.”

The loss of Mars’ magnetic field may have played a critical role in the planet’s evolution from the warm and wet world scientists suspect it was into the cold, dry desert that exists today.

Magnetic fields, similar to Earth’s, protect planets from cosmic rays. They also help maintain the atmosphere by shielding molecules from solar radiation.

LOS ANGELES — Officers in Los Angeles say “Indiana Jones” co-star Shia LaBeouf has been arrested for drunk driving following an early morning car accident in Hollywood. Law enforcement sources tell us Shia badly injured his hand and will need surgery.

First reported, LaBeouf was arrested this morning on suspicion of felony DUI after he allegedly made an illegal left, striking another car which then caused Shia’s car to roll.

TMZ was told Shia will need surgery on his left hand. A passenger in Shia’s car sustained minor head injuries and the driver of the other car sustained minor injuries as well.

Deputies are evaluating the case at the hospital right now to determine if LaBeouf will be booked on felony or misdemeanor DUI.
