Not surprising, but still surprised...

...The Washington Post reports that the US Capitol Police is having trouble with its' radio system.

Channels on the Reagan-era police radio system often crash, officers said. One went down during President Bush's State of the Union address to Congress in January, according to several officials. Last year, all five Capitol Police radio channels briefly collapsed, prompting officers to whip out their personal cellphones to communicate, officials said.

"It has some type of failure at least once a week," said Matt Tighe, head of the Fraternal Order of Police labor committee that represents Capitol Police officers.


As someone who sees the USCP on a semi-regular basis, I always tell people that they're some of the highest paid, best trained police agencies around. The starting salary for a USCP officer is high enough that they can pick and choose who they want. They're courteous, professional, and unlike some other local departments, relaxed and respectful.

It's a shame that they can't get the gear they need.

Anyone else outraged?

There is a difference between the two professions in that you do different residency programs which is after the 4yrs of dental school. So in dental school, you take the same classes with everyone else. Good Luck.

Please have a read of this 'general overview' for Professionals working abroad. I also believe that for those wishing to practice any kind of Medicine or Dentistry in Spain, you need to have been in practice in your qualifying country for a certain period beforehand.

Why is Building a Mosque at Ground Zero seriously allowed to occur? I have never heard a single thing so genuinely silly in all of my life. If this ever goes to fact, It will probably be the scariest thing ever in your life. alana

Why is Developing a Mosque at Ground Zero getting sanctioned to take place? I never heard something so entirely strange in all of my life. If this really reaches actuality, It will likely be the hardest situation ever. alexandra
