SMART develops white papers on a variety of topics to help customers make informed decisions about which products best suit their needs.
Engineers use various physical tools (e.g., computers, smart boards, notes, and prototypes) to support their design work. To understand cognitive processes underlying the innovative design process and to reveal the characteristics of innovation-supporting environments, the pattern of tool use was examined in 43 interdisciplinary engineering design teams enrolled in a full-semester product realization course. Successful teams (i.e., high and medium success groups) were found to use a SMART Board and physical prototypes consistently more often throughout the design process, whereas unsuccessful teams (i.e., low success group) used a computer, laptop, and paper notes more often.
Researchers at Riverview High School in New Brunswick, Canada, compared the performance of small groups completing learning activities on SMART Board® interactive whiteboards to groups completing the same activities on laptops. They found that using an interactive whiteboard increased student performance on posttests, which were given to students after they finished the group activities on either an interactive whiteboard or a laptop.
Researchers involved in this project are tracking student achievement in math at 11 inner-city elementary schools in the Toronto District School Board.

I would call it a dialect of German, and I wonder if people would agree with that characterization? I am posting a link to my musical translation of the epic Yiddish poetic ballad "Monisch" so people can compare for themselves. I hope the closed captions are helpful.
The difference between a dialect and a language isn't a technical one; it's determined by culture, society and/or politics (cf. Danish/Swedish/Norwegian or Slovakian/Czech*).
Personally, I would consider Yiddish a different language, given the stark and obvious differences between the users of each language, even though as a learner of German, Yiddish is fairly understandable to me.
*edit: Slovakian/Czech, not Slovakian/Croatian.
Do you know the famous Yiddish quote by Max Weinreich?
Eine Sprache ist ein Dialekt mit einer Armee und Flotte/ A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.
I'd say it's a language, especially after 1945. Without citing or knowing proper linguistic evidence, I'd say it's about as similar and intelligible as Dutch is for Germans. And Dutch is considered a separate language.
Edit: The big W suggests this criteria to distinguish:
All of which would've been true pre-Shoah, but is different after.
I have my own definitions of dialect and language. Perhaps they are helpful.
Note that "dialect", "half-language" and "language" are here distances between ways of speaking, not titles for such ways. Yiddish and English are different languages. Yiddish and German are different dialects of the same language.
Wikipedia says, Yiddish descends from Middle High German, as it was spoken in the High Middle Ages in the Rhineland. When I stumble across a yiddish phrase, I can mostly get the meaning - as I can with Dutch, but I come from a rural area near Salzburg (Austria) where a dialect is spoken, which is closer to Middle High German than to Standard German.
I would say, Yiddish is a close relative to modern Standard German, as it shares the same roots, but no dialect, because a German speaker won't be able to understand it immediately and it has no political connection to a German speaking state (same group as, for example, Pennsylvania Dutch).

Why I Teach
As a teacher, my role is to educate, motivate and push students to continually strive for their ultimate goals, but mostly, to instill in them their own sense of confidence. I encourage them to seek opportunities that challenge them artistically, both in and outside of the classroom. This reinforcement of their talent makes a precious connection between theory and practice.
In the classroom, I focus on the development of the whole individual using craft, theory, history and critical and creative thinking. I believe this approach helps my students to become more aware of their passions, their abilities and who they are.

Internet and Medicine
A group of researchers at Illinois Institutes of Dental Research was researching mitochondria disease, and has imaged mitochondria surprisingly wavering in a live creature, for this situation, the salivary organs of research facility rats. The report, distributed online today in the diary, demonstrates the motions happen spontaneously and frequently in the rat cells, which heads the analysts to accept the motions practically most likely likewise happen in human cells.
The developments could last from many seconds to minutes, which was far more and regularly at a quicker rhythm than watched long ago in cell society, expressed a researcher and senior creator on the study. The mitochondria likewise seem to synchronize their developments in an individual cell as well as, out of the blue, into a connected system of oscillators vibrating all through the tissue.
You look through the magnifying lens, and it very nearly resembles a synchronized moving. The synchronization, to acquire an old banality, lets us know that we have to separate the woodland from the trees — and the other way around — when mulling over mitochondria. It might be that the timberland holds the way to seeing how mitochondria work in human wellbeing and illness.
The compelling optics permitted the researchers to picture the motions in their local milieu and to think about their reason. Taking into account an arrangement of ensuing examinations and perceptions, the analysts found that the motions are interfaced to the creation of responsive oxygen species, an artificially intelligent result of making ATP. This discovering proposes that the motions likely are not natural to mitochondria however a reaction to conditions in nature.
These discoveries underscore how essential it is logically to study science all alone terms, not under counterfeit lab conditions, said a researcher and lead creator on the paper. We saw things in live creatures that you don't see in cell society. The reasons, for this situation, exceptionally well may be that the mitochondria keep on receiing an onrushing of signs from the veins, the sensory system, and their nature. The whole framework can't be reassembled n cell society.
One researcher noted that these discoveries ought to be of wide investment logically in confining investigations of mitochondria, and may have future clinical ramifications. An expected 3 million Americans have mitochondrial sickness, a vitality exhausting disappointment of mitochondria to capacity legitimately, which can have crippling consequences for the cerebrum, heart, kidneys, and other body frameworks. Numerous researchers likewise suspect that as mitochondria get to be better comprehended, they likely will be comprehended to assume a more noticeable part in human wellbeing and sickness.
Since the inception of Mankind, the one concern that has survived over the centuries is Health concern, such as where to find the best doctors. The world of Medicine has undergone tremendous changes from ancient times to present modern remote surgeries. Gone are days when only doctors used to understand the ailments and deceases and patients would blindly follow him. Beginning of 20th century has witnessed an evolution in the form of Internet and it transformed entire world let alone the technology field. Thanks to the emergence of Internet, it has transformed the field of Medicine too! The impact of Internet on Medicine can be lucidly seen at each stage of our visit to a physician or our appointment at a hospital. Nowadays, hospital staff seldom have direct contact with the patient; they have most of their interaction via Internet only.
Online Consultation
Events that were never thought would be possible have become a routine due to rampant growth of Internet. One of those events is online consultation. It has become highly difficult for physicians and doctors to attend each case personally and for patients who are ever busy with their work, the doctor appointments are unaffordable time wise. To fill the gap, hospitals have come up with an innovative solution called online consultation or e-consultations. Many hospitals, clinics and independent practitioners are adding e-consultation widgets or features to their websites to contact with patients directly. Some specialties have now become online consultation only services too such as Radiology. This digital imaging medical service is taking the aid of Internet in examining the reports of remote patients and assisting them through telemedicine. As well as, other test reports like CT scan or blood samples are being analyzed and sent to other hospitals or professionals via Internet.
Information availability
The state that the internet is overflowing with health information and medicinal information. Patients now have access to all the information pertaining to health and medicine over Internet. Although some information is disinformation and some are over information, if the seeker is cautious, he/she gets the correct information. People are educating themselves via Internet on health conditions they are having. Physicians and doctors who encounter with such patients are 50% more satisfied about the communication between them and the patient because the explanation time has been exceptionally decreased when compared to the communication between doctor and unaware patient. The medical information is available in plethora in Internet through video tutorials, doctors' blog, hospitals' websites and health oriented blogs; even the hard tongue twisting medical jargon are demystified in those forums. Practically, Internet offers knowledge on almost every disease and illness in the medical world.
Virtual storage of health records
Earlier every file and every test or health record was saved on paper. The fear of losing those files or them getting damaged was intense in those days. Even when doctors wanted to examine the patient, they had to go through all the files manually unaware of which file accounts to which health condition. There was lot of confusion and clutter at that time but now things have changed for better. Health records are presently maintained virtually in cloud databases or online databases. Each health record is organized systematically according to health condition and each element of the health record is interlinked with element of another health record of the same person to make the search simpler at the time of consultation. In addition to that, Diagnostic centers or Laboratories are also sending the reports directly to the patient's doctor so that there is no chance of record mislead. Another advantage is health records stored online are accessible to both patient and the doctor. Next time when a patient undergoes a test, he/she will update his/her report online in his profile and the doctor will prescribe appropriate medicine upon checking it online immediately. With this advancement in health care, numerous steps in between have been dissolved creating a more transparent communication.
Remote Surgeries
Remote surgery or Telesurgery is a disruptive innovation in the medical history among. It can be defined as an act of any type of surgery: Arthroscopic surgery in Tokyo, or a medical operation without the physical presence of doctor and patient at the same place. Doctor with the help of robotic surgical system operates a patient who is far away from him. The patient is actually operated by a robot powered by artificial intelligence but the controls of the robot will be in hands of the doctor, who is elsewhere in front of a screen monitoring each moment of the robot. Although the technology involves robotics, communication technology and software development, the bridge that fills the gap between the robot and doctor is Internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robotic_surgery
Protection of health records
When the health records were offline, which means when they were maintained on paper, the probability of them being stolen was high. It is of utmost importance to protect health information of an individual and theft of such information is a criminal offense. With the emergence of Internet into medical field, the protection of patient's identity and health records have gained strength. Health records are unique ID and password protected making it highly difficult for the intruders to get the information. Only health care providers and patients are permitted to access the information. Insurance companies and hospitals across the world are deriving heaps of profits through Internet technology.
Online Pharmacies
E-commerce has stretched to pharmacy as well and is thriving. Purchasing of drugs online has become as simple as purchasing a dress online. Online prescriptions or e-prescriptions are prescription sans paper issued by health provider or physician to pharmacy. These pharmacies deliver the prescribed drugs to the respective patients in a smooth, uncomplicated process. Not only did the core medicine have benefitted from Internet, but also the peripheral departments of medicine have advanced concurrently. Studies have proved that online pharmacies are approximately worth a $2 billion business in the US.
Thus, Internet has empowered the medicine in an unexpected manner and is pushing the boundaries even farther to invite more and more advancements and innovative solutions into our lives for our own healthy living.
However the most valuable piece of our presence – our wellbeing – has so far been generally unaffected, protected and very nearly compartmentalized from this computerized upheaval. How could this be? Solution is astoundingly traditionalist to the point of being appropriately described as sclerotic, even solidified. Past the hesitance and safety of doctors to change, the life science industry (organizations that create and popularize medications, gadgets or demonstrative tests) and government administrative offices are in a close incapacitated state, not able to break out of a broken model deciding how their items are created or economically affirmed. Be that as it may that is going to change. Drug is going to experience its greatest shakeup ever.
Surprisingly we can digitize people. We can remotely and consistently screen every heart thumped, minute to-minute pulse readings, the rate and profundity of breathing, body temperature, oxygen fixation in the blood, glucose, mind waves, movement, temperament – all the things that make us tick. We can picture any piece of the body and do a three-dimensional remaking, in the end prompting the ability of printing an organ. On the other hand, we can utilize a small, handheld, high-determination imaging gadget that quickly catches discriminating data anyplace, for example, the scene of an engine vehicle mishap or an individual's home in light of a call of trouble. We can focus each of the 6 billion letters ("life codes") of an individual's genome arrangement.

Muhammad Yunus earned the nickname "banker to the poor" by giving tiny cash loans -- often the equivalent of a few dollars -- to the poorest of the poor in Bangladesh. That simple idea grew into an international movement
so vibrant that Yunus was awarded the 2006 Nobel Prize for Peace. Yunus earned a Ph.D. in economics at Vanderbilt University in 1969. He taught at Middle Tennessee State University before returning to Bangladesh in 1972 to teach economics
at Chittagong University. According to a now-famous story, his first loan was given to a group of very poor women from the village of Jobra in 1974; the amount was the equivalent of $27. Two years later, in 1976, Yunus founded the Grameen
Bank to make such loans on a wider scale, mostly to people with no collateral who would not be served by typical banks. The notion became known as microcredit, and as it spread to other countries it gave thousands of people the opportunity
to pull themselves out of abject poverty. Yunus and Grameen were jointly given the Nobel Prize in 2006. By that time the bank had helped more than six million borrowers, the vast majority of them women. In awarding the prize, the Nobel
Committee stated: "Lasting peace can not be achieved unless large population groups find ways in which to break out of poverty. Microcredit is one such means."
Christine has been President of Humane Society Silicon Valley for the past 13 years. During her tenure, Christine has led a progressive spay/neuter program that has dramatically reduced the number of incoming animals to

A native of Karnataka, "Dhatta" became passionate about the Northeast region of India while undertaking a government development project. During this time, Dhatta experienced first hand the difficulties faced by the
local poor in accessing essential financial services to improve their lives. Typically, small and marginal farmers, unable to access financial loans to grow their businesses, have been forced to purchase loans from local agents at
outrageously high interest rates. Though formal lending institutions are available, they are not traditionally geared towards small-scale entrepreneurs. This predicament inspired Dhattateya Hosagrahar to establish the Institute of
Integrated Resource Management (IIRM) in 2000 to provide the hard-to-reach communities of Northeast India with life-changing access to microfinance. His is the current CEO of Institute of Integrated Resources Management

Cleveland Police Chief Michael McGrath announced the results of disciplinary hearings for patrol officers involved in the Nov. 29, 2012 deadly chase.
A review concerning the officers who took part in the shooting itself will not be complete until the criminal investigation by the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's office is over.McGrath said 277 officers were working that night and of those, 104 officers were involved with the pursuit in some capacity including blocking intersections or trying to catch up with the pursuit.Of the 104 officers, 75 broke rules and 63 were suspended for speeding and failing to get permission to join the pursuit.Four officers were given ten day suspensions, the rest were suspended between one and six days.The police union plans to fight the suspensions during arbitration hearings. Jeffrey Follmer from the Cleveland Police Patrolman's Association said the union has an 80 per cent success rate in having suspensions dismissed.
Source: News Channel 5
It's rare to see any action taken against officers, even in cases as extreme as this, so it's reassuring to see it being dealt with seriously. However, it's concerning that unions manage to overturn 80% of suspensions. Unions serve a vital role in protecting worker rights but at the moments unions are preventing police officers from being held accountable, which is completely unacceptable. It means that these officers are likely to get away with what was clearly an excessive use of force and inappropriate use of police resources.

I've been given some gifts lately by the genealogy spirits. I think they are designed to gently ease me back into the fray after my maternity break of several months. This is another really good one.
I have made many connections over the years with relatives, as we discover we are both researching the same family or community. Last year, I spoke with a new cousin named Jahrod and we found we traced back to the same roots in Somerset County, Maryland. Recently, he shared with me an apparently new link that has recently been made available online. It's a part of the Maryland Historical Trust, and it is an Inventory of Historic Properties in the state. It's a beautifully designed website but the data is the true goldmine: all the original applications from historic places in Maryland have all been uploaded and are available to the public! Why did he send me this? I was up until 2:00AM. Trust me, when you have a new baby, that is NOT what you need to be doing..LOL. This is the homepage:
You can search by county, address, property or do a simple text search. Since I have two major ancestral counties in Maryland (Somerset and Montgomery) I was just in hog heaven.This is the search screen:
The beauty of these files is that many of them have pictures of the properties, which may not be standing today. There is good genealogical information as many have a chain of title for the deeds to the properties listed, maps showing specific locations, as well as a brief historical background. The quality of each application varies according to who filled it out. Some were sparse, and some ran more than 50 pages.
The jewel for Jahrod and I was that the entire community in Somerset County where our ancestors lived, which is called "Upper Hill", was designated a historic site! Using these files, it is possible to recreate the entire neighborhood from right around the turn of the century. These forms were completed in the 1970s. One application mentioned one of my brickwall ancestors, the Rev. Daniel James Waters. He apparently owned land in Somerset County when he died intestate in Delaware in 1899. The land was awarded by circuit court decree to another man named John Waters. I have just ordered a copy of the court case, hoping that it will illuminate some relationship between the two men. I haven't had a new breakthrough on this line in years.
The community of Upper Hill used to be referred to in the early 19th century as "Freetown". This is likely a nod to the fact that the area was populated mostly by freed blacks, many of whom carried the surname Waters. The white Waters family was a large, multi-generational slaveowning family. A few members were Quakers and freed slaves in the early 1800s, including my ancestor Joshua Waters, who was the father of Daniel James Waters.
This database also had a large file on one of the houses of the slaveowning Waters family that is still standing. Lots of terrific history in that file. My friend Aaron over at In Honor of Our Ancestors told me last year that he found a file on the slaveowning family in a historical trust database. So I did a short walk around the web trying to see if a resource like this exists for other states. Pennsylvania, Texas, Ohio and Arkansas are just a few of the states that seem to have similar databases online. Here are some links you can explore at your leisure (especially the 2nd link):
The National Register for Historic Places (NRHP) has started to digitize their over 80,000 files
Their site also had a terrific link to other states' inventories that may be online (GREAT list)
Virginia has a 72 page PDF file of its list of properties and the files themselves are available to view at the Library of Virginia. For Virginia, also check here.
North Carolina simply had a list of historical preservation links, may be something hidden here.
Same for South Carolina.
Every resource counts. In my case, this one gave me a significant lead on a brickwall ancestors as well as provided lots of good historical information for my various write-ups. Please email me if you search and are able to find something significant in these records!

Openwork Roundel
The Achaemenid rulers of ancient Persia favored images of lions with their mouths open in a snarl or roar. On these gold jewelry
elements, the lions are shown complete or as heads only, in both fairly realistic and highly decorative forms. The gold head of a bull, another dangerous animal, seems almost placid in comparison. The pin decorated with an ibex, or wild mountain goat, was used to fasten garments.

It took 22 2/3 innings, but Akron proved opposing teams can indeed score runs against Mississippi State pitching.
Fortunately for the Bulldogs, one was all the Zips could muster and the MSU offense reached double-figures for the second time in three games as State defeated Akron 10-1 in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader at Dudy Noble Field.
The Bulldogs (3-0) also beat Lamar University 2-0 earlier in the day.
Against Akron, sophomore left-handed pitcher Luis Pollorena picked up his first-ever win in a State uniform by pitching 3 1/3 perfect innings in relief of MSU starting pitcher Chad Girodo.
Girodo was saddled with a no-decision after pitching just 4 2/3 innings, allowing four hits, two walks and a run while striking out three.
"Chad didn't go out and do the things we feel confident he's going to do in the future, but the interesting thing about playing 18 innings with a gap in between is that, under NCAA rules, it's impossible to prepare for that," said Bulldogs head coach John Cohen. "You're basically talking about eight hours here at the ballpark. The NCAA allows you to practice for four, so what happens is you start getting concerned when you're not totally prepared.
"But I think our kids were sharp, we were able to play a lot of people, and defensively I'm pleased with the guys that are playing for us and the way we're pitching it."
Saturday's victory over Akron was the second time in as many days MSU downed the Zips after recording a season-opening 11-0 win against them on Friday.
Much like in that contest, the Bulldogs' bats put on a show, tallying 17 total hits and granting Girodo with a 6-0 lead after just two innings of play.
Jarrod Parks, Daryl Norris, Nick Vickerson and Brent Brownlee all had at least one RBI over the first two frames to give State the big early advantage.
"Getting two runs (in the first inning) right off the bat, it's just easy for a pitcher to go out there and kind of coast," said Girodo.
For the first 10 batters he faced, Girodo indeed cruised, retiring them all in order.
The Zips (1-2) finally got to Girodo with one out in the fourth on a double by Jason Corzine.
Drew Turocy followed with a single for Akron but Girodo escaped the inning without allowing a run.
However, Girodo wouldn't be as fortunate in the fifth inning. With the bases loaded and two outs, Girodo walked Corzine, forcing in a run and breaking MSU pitching's scoreless innings streak.
Cohen then called on Pollorena, who induced a ground out to end the threat with the Bulldogs still leading 6-1.
"(Pollorena) is just an energy guy," said Cohen. "He kind of feeds off our other players. He's going to have a lot of outings for us this year. He's that guy who gives you that left-handed breaking ball. The great thing about Luis is he controls the running game really well and you can't bunt on him because he defends the middle of the field so well.
"His breaking ball has movement, but he's not going to overpower anybody. But he's just a passionate guy and our kids enjoy playing behind him."
Pollorena continued to impress, then Hunter Renfroe took the hill in the ninth inning to record the final three outs for MSU.
Before Pollorena could exit though, Norris put the game away for the Bulldogs.
In the bottom of the sixth, Norris roped a bases-loaded triple to centerfield that stretched State's five-run lead out to 9-1.
The freshman from Fairhope, Ala. scored himself on Jaron Shepherd's infield single one batter later to cap the game's scoring.
Norris finished the game 3-for-5 with 5 RBIs and a run scored.
"All the guys in front of me, just having those guys show me how to do it," said Norris of his big day. "Taking good swing after good swing and it's good to come out here, get my first start and play well."
In beating Akron, MSU has now needed just over 6 hours to get in all three of its games this season.
It took the Bulldogs just 2 hours and 3 minutes to dispatch of the Zips Saturday.
In defeating Lamar in the first game of the doubleheader, the Bulldogs needed just 2 hours and 1 minute, while Friday's win over Akron was played in an even 2 hours.
Thanks in large part to the new rules governing bats, times between pitches and times between innings, all three of State's games this season have been shorter than 2010's shortest contest, a 2 hour, 7 minute 2-1 loss to Jackson State at Trustmark Park.
Cohen thinks his squad is adjusting well to the quicker pace of play.
"In this ballpark with these bats, the tempo is going to be vitally important," said Cohen. "Tempo doesn't come from the pitcher, it really comes from the catcher. That's something we've spent a lot of time on this year and I think our catchers are doing a great job with that."
The Bulldogs will look to stretch their season-opening winning streak to four games today against Lamar.
First pitch at Dudy Noble Field is slated for 2:30 p.m.
Junior left-hander Tim Statz is scheduled to be the Bulldogs' starting pitcher.
Prior to playing State, Lamar will face Akron at 10 a.m.

In the world of public relations, I'm sure we've all gone through our Facebook News Feed more times than we'd like to admit, for both professional and personal purposes. Unlike traditional news websites, Facebook always has the most random of news feeds providing you everything from updates on major business deals to completely useless updates on the status of your friend's morning line at Starbucks. Some people "like" statuses more than others, but rarely do we comment on anything unless they are posting about a topic close to our hearts like the controversy over the How I Met Your Mother finale. So if we're more likely to ignore or "hide" a status that doesn't interest us, what topics should we stay away from so no one ever wants to "hide" our clients posts? There are actually more topics or factors to it than you may realize.
Of course, you can be excited about your new launch or post a few quirky, funny photos to attract new followers, but in the world of fashion public relations, try to stay away from sadness, anger, or guilt. You do not need to post about illness or post any modern version of a chain letter. We all hate them and want to immediately "hide" the post. Also, stay away from random angry rants, especially with no context. Nothing's more annoying than a random post saying, "I hate life!" It just begs for attention because you have no idea what is going on and it's completely inappropriate.
Even if the new clothing line you are promoting is awesome because it's vegan, it doesn't mean you have to post photos of how the animals are killed for other clothing lines. Posting pictures of your client's products and sharing the statistics of how many animals the client has saved by going vegan is a much better approach! The same approach applies to religion and urban myths. Not all of us share the same beliefs so it's best to keep the posts as neutral as possible.
Unless there is news that is necessary to address because it has made national headlines, always try to keep your personal and professional life separate. You may be having a bad day because your grandmother passed the night before, but don't post about it on your brand's page. Feel free to post on your own page, but don't share your sadness with your business's audience. Fashion is about making life more fun through expressing yourself so keep the topics as light as possible.
When it comes to social media, it's about keeping it classy and keeping the quality high. I'm sure you all have unfollowed friends because they only complain about their days, but you still follow friends who actually use the platform to keep in touch with you. That's how you should view your business page. Keep it simple and engage with your audience. As long as you know what your audience loves to talk about, posting on Facebook can be really fun and you can learn a lot about what they want to buy.

Life, liberty, and
the pursuit of language.
Although English has fewer native speakers than Mandarin or Spanish, it's probably the most widely spoken language in the world. Because of its global reach, it's also the most popular language to learn among non-native speakers.
Football is a big part of American culture, but it's not the same sport as the one the rest of the world knows as football (called soccer in the U.S.). The National Football League championship game, the Super Bowl, is one of the most popular U.S. television events and has been broadcast in 30 languages to 185 countries and even ships at sea.

English is arguably the lingua franca of the world. Spoken on every continent, it's become the major language of international business and online communications.
Why is being able to speak English so important?
Why learn English? With over 350 million native speakers worldwide and 750 million more learning it as a second language, chances are you'll fare better in your travels and professional career if you have English in your back pocket. Beyond the obvious places where you'll need and want to speak English—like the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand—possessing the ability to say "yes" to the question "Do you speak English?" will benefit you in innumerable ways.
World culture and English literature.
While learning English, you'll undoubtedly come across some of the great works of literature—like those of William Shakespeare, William Blake, and Virginia Woolf, being lovely British representatives, and Ernest Hemmingway, John Steinbeck, and Mark Twain, who hailed from the United States. Delving into these books and plays will open up a world of culture and history that have influenced the English language though the ages.
A new approach to learning English.
Speak English and endless opportunities will come your way. Rosetta Stone English will have you speaking immediately and will help pave the way to your continued success.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Dem Scratchy I first put it on and it looks like I got in a fight with a cat. It is very pretty but it may start pulling. Once you have it on it is not itchy, so I am going to try putting it on over my legs not over my head. You have to have a flat stomach it is very tight and shows everything! 2.24.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by CatStyle The Pain I loved this dress online and it is nice in person but it is extremely uncomfortable and itchy. My skin has scratches on it from where the sequence rubbed on it and I had a reaction to the material. Cute dress but not worrth the pain at all. Who wants to feel uncomfortable in what there are wearing? I am going to return this immediately. 2.10.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Raq too big i bought the dress to wear on NYE. it's well-made and the cut on top is a nice detail. however, the dress swam on me and was not bodycon at all. i buy from free people a lot and normally fit into their xs clothing (xs tops and 25 in pants). this one was way off. i had to return it and throw together an outfit from stuff i already had. 1.3.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by juliaharwood so pretty but just so itchy. I am 5'6 118 lbs and the extra small fits well. the dress itself is lovely and well made, but wearing it is kind of a painful experience. i've only been able to wear it once or twice because it scratches up my arms and sides. wearing a sweater is one solution to this problem, but it's a shame to cover up such a pretty dress. I would recommend this to a friend, but only if i didn't like her that much. 10.11.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jcrump24 awesome! Love this dress! Bought it in the cream color. It was great. I typically wear a size 2 and the extra small was perfect. Must wear a stick bra. Even a strapless would show. 3.25.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by allisonr hotttt it rocks! a little tight in the bottom for me with larger hips and thighs, but awesome on top 3.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by celesslocker Beautiful I have been looking for a red sequin dress forever, when I saw this I was in loooove! I didn't want a disco look, the matte sparkle of this dress was perfect. If your not careful getting into this thing (there's no zipper) it will scratch you to death. I have super sensitive skin and it wasn't that bad. It is short but I wore black tights with it. I also wore a sticky bra because it shows a little side boob and it's low in the back. It looks beauuuuutiful on! I got compliments all night, and my date's jaw dropped when he saw me ;) Oh I'm 5'4 and 120lbs and ordered the XS. Fits perfect but a little lose on the tummy. Hope this helps you ladies 2.20.2012

UA College of Medicine cuts deal for synthetic cadavers
PHOENIX -- Medical education at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix just got a little more "real."
On Wednesday morning, Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, Dr. Stuart Flynn, dean at the University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix and Christopher Sakezles, president of SynDaver Labs, announced an exclusive collaboration between the medical school and the Tampa, Fla.-based company.
SynDaver Labs creates synthetic cadavers - hence the company name -- that will provide indispensable learning opportunities to UA medical students.
"It (the synthetic cadaver) has a heart that beats and blood flows. It has a liver that can make bile, so you can imagine, procedural-wise, this is profound," Flynn explained.
SynDaver Labs also created the world's most sophisticated synthetic human tissues and body parts, which means medical schools and laboratories can reduce or eliminate live animals, cadavers and human patients in clinical training and surgical simulation.
"Now our students learn how to start an IV on something that very much emulates a human arm, for instance, but they get to practice over and over again, which you and I wouldn't like as a patient," said Flynn.

Believe it or not, this ultra-modern looking '70 Chevelle started out as a gasser-style straight-axle machine with a fake blower sticking through the hood. It was for sale at the Goodguys Chicagoland Nationals and nobody was giving it even a passing glance. As The Roadster Shop's Phil Gerber told us, "The car looked solid, complete, and unmolested except for the chassis. It was purchased with the intention of adding to our Chevelle chassis lineup since it would give us the dimensions to build our '68-72 Chevelle chassis to add to the '64-67 chassis already available."
The project evolved from there. Its previous orange '66 Chevelle was sold, but soon the plan to keep this one "simple" evaporated into thin air. Before long, the Chevelle was getting a custom-fabbed dash, BMW headlights, and tons of custom bodywork. As for the unusual color, Phil had this to say, "We were really tired of the silvers, reds, and blues on most cars. One of our customers said that we had to check out the Porsche GT3 RS green. We did, and it was decided upon. The color has gotten mixed reviews. But love it or hate it, people keep talking about it.
"The car was started in the beginning of June and loaded on the trailer in the middle of August. It had less than 50 miles on it when it was brought to California for the testing. Most people thought we took the interior out of the car to save weight. We actually just didn't have time to take it to the upholstery shop to have the interior put in the car. We even purchased a stock set of door and quarter trim panels to make it look somewhat more finished, but we didn't have time to install them before the event."
With so few hours on the car, the crew at The Roadster Shop was less than thrilled with the testing results and knew the car had much more potential and they were right. We later re-tested the car shortly after the SEMA show when it showed at one of our track days in Fontana, California. The surface was different from El Toro and the Chevelle was riding on a more street-friendly set of rubber. It was immediately evident that they had been hard at work tuning the Chevelle's suspension when it knocked down a .98g on the skidpad and 49.71 mph through the cones. It just shows that tuning is as important as the quality of parts installed.
Driver's Impression - On The Autocross CourseOverall, this car was average for all of the evaluated criteria for this autocross. Acceleration was great when facing straight; the car understeered on corner entry and precise positioning was required to get it close to the apex. In transitional sections of the course, the tires lost traction due to weight transfer and the soft suspension that, in turn, lost valuable seconds of time. Feedback was delayed and it was hard to take input and drive this car well. The brakes were very touchy and when applied at speed, didn't stop the car very well. It should be noted that this car was not completed and with further development it should be much better in this testing phase. At present, it's a nice street car that will get plenty of attention. I loved the color, graphics, and wheels.
About two months later, a welcome surprise awaited as this same car competed in the Optima Street Car Invitational. For the autocross, the owners asked me to drive it again and after doing so, I couldn't believe this was the same car. Everything I'd noted above that was off had changed. The Chevelle had excellent turn-in under braking, no insipid understeer, great transition during directional changes and receptive braking. It goes to show what can happen from good, systematic development as this car now offers everything good. I loved the power, brakes, traction, and most important, good manners representing a street ride.-Mary Pozzi

So you want to go fast? All the ads will tell you it's as easy as buying some manufacturer's product and bolting it on. But, as you might imagine, there's more to the story. Recently, we visited with Tony DeMambro in Falmouth, Massachusetts, to get the real scoop. DeMambro has been searching for more power for his '04 Z06 for some time now, and he's learned some important lessons in the process.
A few years ago, DeMambro decided it was time to get that one special car he he'd always wanted. He had an '02 Mercedes-Benz AMG ML55, but it just didn't deliver the bang for the buck he was after. When he decided to upgrade to the top-of-the-line SL, the M-B dealer experience sent him running to his nearest Chevy vendor. The folks at Walter Earl Chevrolet were much more accommodating and didn't mind letting their new black Z06 off the lot for a testdrive. DeMambro found the sound and feel of the car to be simply awesome. By the end of the ride, he was an official Corvette nut.
Once DeMambro got the car home, he began to feel that maybe it wasn't quite as exotic looking as he had wanted. Then, while browsing through an aftermarket parts catalog, he came across the Greenwood G5 body kit. A few phone calls later, and he'd arranged to have the kit installed in Greenwood's shop in Apopka, Florida. DeMambro and his wife dropped the car off with Tim and Joe Greenwood and went on to enjoy a week in the Florida Keys. When they returned, the car was ready to go. It was only the second full G5 body kit the company had installed.
The drive home proved revealing. On the trip to Florida, DeMambro had noticed some wind buffeting when he got close to large semi trucks. On the return trip, the buffeting wasn't there. Also, during a period of wet weather, he realized that all the drivers passing him were giving him the thumbs-up sign. Apparently, the rooster tail being raised by the Greenwood rear-valance air-management system was really getting their attention. This was obviously one aero kit that really worked.
Once the car was home, DeMambro couldn't resist taking it to a few shows. The most interesting event was an NCRS show at the Lars Anderson Museum in Brookline, Massachusetts. DeMambro wasn't sure what kind of the reception he might receive, as this was an official NCRS chapter meet. To his pleasant surprise, the organizers gave him a warm reception. DeMambro's car was such a hit, in fact, that another attendee decided to pop for the G5 package for his own Vette.
The next thing DeMambro noticed was that everyone wanted to race him. The first serious challenge wasn't long in coming. Shortly after the next show, as he was driving out of town, DeMambro heard a deafening roar as a Hennessey Viper pulled up beside him. With a few words, it was agreed that there would be a short "vehicle dynamics" test. Out of the hole, the Z06 pulled the Viper in the first two gears. Shocked at being ahead, DeMambro looked back to see where the Viper was and forgot to shift. The rev limiter kicked in, and the Viper jumped ahead before DeMambro could shift into Third. With the Viper ahead by three lengths at well above the speed limit, both drivers finally backed off.
Later, DeMambro figured out a couple of things. First, the Viper had been supercharged, giving it a huge power advantage in the higher gears. The other thing he remembered was that he hadn't put his car in Competition mode, so the dynamic stability system had been engaged the whole time. The traction-control component had helped him get all of the car's power to the ground. It had also helped him combat the small sand drifts that intrude on the edge of the highway. All of this made for an epiphany. Clearly, the car performed well, and the electronics were effective in getting power to the ground, but something more was required. The search for big-league performance-and the start of a few more lessons-had begun.

This was one of those "bridge" episodes.
Nothing really happened, but it set up a bunch of stuff.
Listen people: it's not my favorite thing either, but it's a thing.
So I don't need to give a spoiler alert here, because there isn't really anything to spoil. But I'll say that these things happened:
- Carl tells Rick that he shouldn't be the leader no more, and Rick is like ORLY?
- Merle tells Hershel that the Governor is chaotic evil and so aggro.
- Milton (I could have SWORN his name was Donovan...) tells the Gov' that he's all in, and the Gov' is like THX!!!
- Andrea goes to the prison escorted by some Stone Cold Steve Austin/Scott Ian zombie. Then she goes back to Woodbury and gives the Governor naked hugs and french kisses. Then she brandishes a thief dagger while he lays there post coitus with his dumb eye patch (I would not wear the eye patch when I was asleeping). But nothing happens...
- P.S. for that last one: wasn't that scene pretty much a summary for the whole episode? It seems like something is going to happen, but then nothing happens.
- Tyreese's group goes to Woodbury and offers to join their army because Rick went bonkers. You can't really blame Tyreese. He tried to help Rick's group but Rick said "Not right now bro, get out. Get out, bro..."
- Andrea and Michonne have a lovers quarrel.
- Beth sang some stupid song at the end. It sounded like "Hold On" by Wilson Phillips, but it was "Hold On" by gravelly-voiced Tom Waits...
I'm not Nostradamus (more like NostraDUMBASS) but I think this whole episode was to set up a fight between Woodbury and the prison. So what else is new? It's also continuing to undermine Rick's leadership,
I think that was pretty much everything major that happened, and now I can make a bunch of dumb observations and link to Carcass songs on YouTube...
Michonne's steampunk boots
Did you notice Michonne's steampunk boots? They had flaps that folded down the side. It was like she was doing cosplay at Otakon.
Michonne's insane ab workout
How sick was Michonne's core workout? She was shredding up her abs and getting ripped. There was SO much muscle confusion!
I Ain't a Judas?
What's with all these weird titles? This one made me think of Q Lazzarus. But apparently it had something to do with a Bible passage. It was when Caesar said "Et Tu Judas?" to Punch Us Pirate.
What is this, American History X?
Who does Andrea think she is? Ed Norton?
No I don't! I'm so sick of the "Little Asskicker" angle. I was hoping that it was a one-time, bad throwaway joke when Daryl first said it. But now they keep repeating it and it won't go away.
Did you notice?
- The Governor's eye patch seems to keep switching eyes. But apparently it's just because those shots were in a mirror.
- Retta from Parks and Recreation looks like Kenan Thompson in drag.
- Milton was wearing his awesome Under Armour zombie proof sleeves.
- This episode is number 311, just like the famous jazz fusion funk metal band.

Willmore Presents Lecture to International Epilepsy Group
L. James Willmore, M.D., professor of neurology and pharmacological and physiological science at SLU School of Medicine, presented the Lennox and Lombroso lecture on post-traumatic epilepsy at last week's meeting of the American Epilepsy Society.
|L. James Willmore, M.D.
As the cases of traumatic brain injury increase, so do incidences of epilepsy triggered by trauma, said Willmore, who also is associate dean of admissions for the School of Medicine. The meeting, held in Baltimore, was attended by 4,000 national and international physicians and health care professionals who care for patients with epilepsy.
Willmore has spent his career blending clinical and basic science research regarding development of antiepileptic drugs, models of epilepsy and molecular mechanisms that trigger the development of epilepsy. His clinical studies have emphasized the development of new drugs to treat epilepsy and contributions to assessing patients for epilepsy surgery.
He has served on several editorial boards, currently Metabolic Brain Disease, and has published widely. He is the co-author of the book Advanced Treatment of Epilepsy.
Willmore has received numerous awards for teaching, research and service, including the American Epilepsy Society's Service Award.
He received his medical degree at Saint Louis University and trained in neurology at the University of Virginia, where he completed a fellowship in neurochemistry.

Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE) is a long-term
autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks normal body tissues as
though they were foreign substances, causing inflammation and tissue damage
throughout the body. Symptoms include fatigue, fever, skin rashes, and muscle
and joint pain.
Inflammation caused by lupus can affect the skin, the joints, and
most other organ systems in the body, including the kidneys, heart, lungs, and
nervous system. It causes a variety of symptoms depending on which organ
systems are affected and how severely they are affected.
Some people may have severe episodes. Others have a milder form of
the disease. Symptoms of lupus may come and go in episodes called flares. There
is no cure for lupus. Home treatment and, if needed, medicines to control
inflammation are the primary treatments.
The most common and serious type of lupus is systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE). The four other types are discoid/cutaneous, subacute
cutaneous, drug-induced systemic, and neonatal lupus. Lupus is more common in
women than in men.
