Format of the MELAB
The MELAB is designed to measure your proficiency in the four basic language skill areas: writing, listening, reading, and speaking.
The entire MELAB lasts 2½ to 3½ hours (including check-in at the examination site) and consists of three required parts:
- a written composition
- a listening comprehension test
- a multiple-choice test containing grammar, cloze reading, vocabulary, and reading comprehension problems
Optional Speaking Test
An optional speaking test is not automatically included in every MELAB administration. It is required for some professional certification programs and for applicants to the University of Michigan. The speaking test is administered by well-qualified, carefully trained, and regularly monitored examiners. (View Speaking Test Examiner Qualifications [PDF]).
- The speaking test is not offered at every test center
- The speaking test may not be taken separately; it may be taken only in conjunction with the written MELAB exam
- If you are applying at the graduate level to a university in the United States and want to be considered for a teaching assistantship in order to receive financial aid, it is strongly recommended that you include the speaking test in your MELAB test

Namco Bandai have revealed that an updated compilation of their retro-games will be heading for the Wii, in Namco Museum Remix.
The interesting part is that these games will be making use of the Wiimote. They will also feature new graphics. Five of these remixed games are said to be included, they are:
All five of these are built from the ground up. In addition the disc will sport nine extra classics, namely Dig Dug, Galaxian, Xevious, Mappy, Gaplus, Pac-Mania, Super Pac-Man, Cute Q and Pac & Pal.
Expect a Fall release for Namco Museum Remix.
Scooby Jew said:
Pac this, Pac that. Let go Namco. That was an absolutely fantastic game FOR ITS TIME. Let's move on; I'm tired of hearing about Pac Man every hour of every day. I'm not exaggerating either, it really is about that often somebody starts talking about Pac Man within my hearing radius (times at which I sleep are not included; statistics may not be 100% accurate, but close enough. See store for details).
Elementrat said:
There go the VC releases.
TDS said:
Interesting! I picked up the Gamecube version of this last month, and the games are quite fun. I did not like the Remake of Dig-Dug, but the updated Galaga was great. Adding the Wii-centric controls should be fun.
Captain Jamesman said:
Pac 'n Roll? Weird. I never thought that game would come into Namco Museum. And for what SJ Said, Pac-Man is a legend! He's almost as legendary as Mario. You should know better.

TruBlu said:
Pacman IS dead. He wasn't able to make the 'jump to the future' like Mario or Sonic. All he really was in his glory days was a yellow circle with a notch in it. Namco tried to update his design and update the gameplay, but it couldn't be done. If they try to fix him too much he wouldn't be Pacman. Let ol' Packy rest in peace please. Have you heard of Pacman World Rally? It ain't Pacman.

Pacman is one of the world's most recognizable video game characters. He just as famous as Mario. Pacman is not dead!

In December 2011, the ICC reported on the arrest of 35 Ethiopian Christians at a prayer gathering in Jeddah at the home of an Ethiopian Christian, Saudi Arabia. The six men and 29 women were holding a weekly prayer meeting when the Saudi police arrested them. Christian leaders said at the time that the accusation of mixing with the opposite sex is only an excuse, and believe that the Christians were arrested for practicing their faith.
'Saudi Arabia Offers Conflicting Explanations As 35 Ethiopian Christians Continue To Languish In Prison
Washington, D.C. (June 7, 2012) International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that over the past month Saudi officials have been making conflicting statements when asked why a group of 35 Ethiopian Christians were arrested at a prayer service in a private home in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, last December.
The statements were made over a period of several weeks after staff members from multiple congressional offices began calling the Saudi embassy in Washington D.C to inquire into the situation. The calls began soon after ICC held a series of meetings during the last week of April on Capitol Hill to raise awareness of the case and to ask for calls from Senators, Representatives, and their staff to the Saudi Embassy.
On Monday, May 7th, a Congressional office told ICC that a source close to the Saudi ambassador had indicated the Christians were arrested as part of an investigation into a large scale human smuggling ring. This explanation contradicted the original rationale published by Human Rights Watch in January that the group had been accused of the illicit mingling of genders.
Then, just three days later, Sarah Nezamuddin, a representative from the embassy told a separate Congressional office that the Christians had all been arrested for having issues with their work permits. ICC proceeded to provide a list of the prisoners with legal work permit numbers to the Congressional office, and after some follow up, Ms. Nezamuddin changed the explanation and said that the Christians were involved in both drug and human trafficking.
Finally, on May 21st, in a meeting with staff members from multiple Congressional offices, representatives from the Saudi government said that the 35 Christians had been arrested for visa issues, but that they were also involved in some form of smuggling ring. When pressed for specifics, the Saudi officials reportedly demurred and changed the topic. At least one Congressional staff member left the meeting with the impression that neither Saudi official actually knew why the Christians were arrested in the first place.
Speaking with ICC, one of the prisoners reported feeling very sad, and very surprised at the constantly changing allegations. Why havent they brought us to court? Why dont they show us some evidence and bring charges against us? said one of the prisoners. [We feel like] the Saudis are trying to punish us for being Christians by keeping us in prison.
Soon after the May 21st meeting, the prisoners reported being taken to a processing center for the first time since their arrest. However, after two extended trips to the processing center, the prisoners were returned to their cells without any new information as to when or if they will be released. After speaking with some of the prison authorities, one of the prisoners reported being under the impression that orders had come from higher up for their release, but that the prison authorities may be reluctant to let them go.
Ryan Morgan, ICCs Advocacy Officer, said, I continue to be baffled by the inability of the Saudi government to explain exactly why 35 Christians attending a prayer service at a private home were suddenly arrested almost six months ago. The story keeps changing, and it is very troubling to think that a key U.S ally in the Middle East may be lying to U.S government officials about why they are arresting religious minorities. I would like to strongly encourage interested individuals to call the Saudi embassy and express their concern at this alarming turn of events.'

Please pray that justice would be done, for the immediate release of our imprisoned brothers and sisters, for the provision of their needs and for all Christians in Saudi Arabia where all believers are facing increasing persecution.

My name is Shoham . I'm 17 years old, from Israel
And I have been a fan of Chayanne's since I was 9.
As you might know in Israel the army service is an obligation for all citizens who are 18 years old, including girls.
The next summer is the last one before I join the Israeli defense force (hopefully I'll be a combat pilot !)
And therefore my grandparents will take me for a trip to Spain, my favorite country.
To make it a perfect vacation I asked them to date it when Chayanne is in a concert tour there….
But unfortunately I haven't found any concert tour plans.
Do you have any idea where I can find them?
Thank you so much
and sorry about the language ,

Piper Alpha Memorial Safety Scholarship
Author: Bernie Vincent
Date Added: 25-Oct-2011
North Sea industry announces Piper Alpha Memorial Safety Scholarship
The programme was launched by industry skills and safety body OPITO at the Step Change in Safety luncheon at Ardoe House Hotel, Aberdeen, where the first three recipients were named.
On the night of 6 July 1988, 167 men lost their lives following an explosion on the Piper Alpha oil platform, in what remains the world's worst offshore oil disaster.
Survivor Ed Punchard was at the recent event to share his experience and meet the students.
"It is important for us to remember the events of that night in a way which is about the future rather than the past," he said.
"I believe that we need to empower a new generation of young people who will be involved in the oil and gas industry in the future, so that they will be fully aware of the dangers inherent in the industry and the need for safety to be a priority at every level.
"While we cannot bring those who were lost back, it is also important for their families to know that we have not forgotten them and these scholarships will provide a longlasting legacy to their memory.
"David Doig, group chief executive of OPITO said: "Piper Alpha was a significant turning point for the oil and gas industry not just here in the North Sea but far beyond. It is vital that the lessons learned are not forgotten but are passed on to the next generation of offshore workers and managers, many of whom weren't even born when the disaster happened.
"The Safety Scholarship provides a lasting way of paying tribute to each of the victims by ensuring those who will be responsible for taking the industry forward into the next stage of its evolution are fully aware of the need for the highest levels of safety.
"The annual scholarship will be open to all post graduate students undertaking MSc studies in Safety and Reliability Engineering; Subsea Engineering; Energy Futures (Oil & Gas) and International Business, Energy and Petroleum.
The first place has been awarded to Olusola Olusuyi, known as Sola, who is currently studying MSc Management at Robert Gordon University (RGU).
From the University of Aberdeen, MSc Subsea Engineering student, Pal Bipin; and Ada Bolu - who is currently completing her MSc in International Business, Energy in Petroleum – have also both been awarded scholarships.
Their dissertations on safety in the oil and gas industry were selected from a number of entries by a panel of judges including Professor Tom O'Donoghue, head of school of engineering at the University of Aberdeen and David MacIntosh, head of the masters programme at Robert Gordon University (RGU). Representatives from OPITO were also involved in the judging process.
Sola (24) said: "The OPITO Piper Alpha Safety Scholarship has provided me with the financial support I need to continue my studies and work towards achieving my future career goals. I also feel highly honoured that I will be given the opportunity to meet with professionals from OPITO, which will help to broaden my understanding of the industry and allow me to develop the skills and knowledge required to contribute significantly to the future of energy."

AFSCME Council 31 is urging lawmakers to support a pay raise for caregivers in community institutions.
Two class action lawsuits looking to put a stop to the Chicago Public Schools' plan to shutter 53 elementary schools at the end of the academic year were filed in federal court today.
Residents of Chicago's North Side neighborhoods of Ravenswood and Uptown got their final opportunity Wednesday night to voice concerns over the impending merger of two elementary schools.
"Is the power really with the people or is it with the administration," asked Tonya Hunter, a concerned citizen of Ravenswood, at yesterday's meeting. "Are we wasting our time? Is the train already in motion and running, because if it is, do we have any data that school closings benefit children overall?"
Read more »
Emmet Elementary School's utilization rate is 66 percent, higher than a handful of other Austin neighborhood schools.
Even still, the Chicago Public Schools wants to close it at the end of the year, and that decision continues to puzzle some West Side community members and parents who spoke out against the action before Emmet's final community meeting last night.
"Unfortunately we have an administration with this corporate ideology of privatizing education that uses our data to punish schools rather than use them as tools to go ahead and improve our children's education," said Dwayne Truss with the Austin Community Action Council. "And that's wrong." Read more »
More than 100 people participated in the "Going Home" rally yesterday at the Illinois Statehouse in Springfield, calling on legislators to support the closing of state institutions and expand community living options for people with disabilities.
Although the 47th ward appears to be safe from potential school closings at the end of the academic year, Ald. Ameya Pawar (47th ward) and other education panelists at a North Side forum last night said all Chicago communities would feel the impact of shuttered neighborhood schools.
It's likely some schools in the 47th Ward, and others, would take in students from nearby schools that Chicago Public Schools decides to close, the alderman said.
Pawar cited one nearby public school, Trumbull, on CPS' potential 129-school closing list. About 30 percent of students at the elementary school near Ashland and Foster avenues have special needs, he said.
"I think some of the schools in the area will absorb those students, and we're OK with that," Pawar said. "I just think what makes this a little frustrating is we're not moving cattle around. These are children, and whether they're special ed or not, how we count them matters."
U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D, IL-8) announced her co-sponsorship of the bipartisan Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act today, which would allow individuals with disabilities to have tax-deferred savings accounts in order to fund health care, housing and other essential expenses.
The ABLE Act, introduced in the Senate, S. 313, and House, H.R. 647, in February, aims to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to create the tax-free accounts.
"Disabled Americans deserve every opportunity to achieve their dreams," Duckworth said in a statement today. "The bipartisan ABLE Act would allow disabled Americans to invest in saving accounts without having it count against their federal benefits."
Recognition of the strides that have been made as well as the challenges that remain was the focus of a panel discussion held Friday regarding the role women with disabilities have played in the struggle for women's rights.
Held by the disability rights organization Access Living in recognition of International Women's Day, the event featured academics, caregivers and advocates who discussed the many issues facing women within the disability community, which according to UIC Professor Carol Gill have at times been overlooked by the rest of society.
"Women with disabilities actually have quite a long history of not being recognized as part of the population," said UIC Associate Professor Gill. "We're left out of programs for services, health initiatives, research, and policy, from domestic violence shelters to cardiovascular fitness programs to osteoporosis research to educational equity policy. We frequently don't get counted, we're not seen, and we're invisible."
Illinois will soon have more affordable housing units available to its residents with special needs thanks to a new grant it is receiving by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

News for theConstruction Industry
Life-style More than three quarters of those surveyed had made a conscious decision to choose contracting as a way of life, and 88 per cent stated that they would class themselves as a 'committed contractor', indicating that the majority are committed to contracting as a way of life and as a long term career option.
The survey found that the main things that responders enjoy about contracting are higher rates of pay, coupled with more freedom and flexibility in the way they live their lives. These came out clearly above over all others, but were closely followed by no office politics, variety of work, a better work/life balance, being viewed as an industry expert and skill development. Lastly, over two thirds of those surveyed fully expected to be contracting for as long as they have, demonstrating a clear plan, and a commitment to that plan, as a life choice.
Earnings Looking at earnings next, over 90 per cent of contractors said that they are earning more than they were as a permanent employee. In fact, over one third are earning more than £500 a day, with almost another third earning between £400 and £500 a day. Two thirds of those surveyed said they have seen rates increase, or at least remain the same, although one third acknowledged that rates had dropped.
When looking at the specific of the contracts which responders were currently undertaking, the survey found that just 10 per cent of those asked were not currently in a contract or about to start one, clearly indicating that the majority of contractors are able to find, and keep, a contract on an ongoing basis.
When asked about how they found their current role, more than a third stated that they used their own contacts or got it though recommendation, demonstrating the importance of building and maintaining a personal industry network.
The survey included two questions about people's views on the ease of finding a contract. Almost two thirds of those surveyed said it was very easy or relatively easy to secure their most recent contract, and half stated it had been easier to secure their most recent contract than their previous one, again clearly indicating that the contractor market is alive and well despite a backdrop of uncertainty.

Oregon Dept. of Administrative Services Certificates of Participation Series 2003 Rated 'AA-' Mar 03
Standard & Poors, March 2003
NEW YORK (Standard & Poor's) March 7, 2003--Standard & Poor's Ratings Services assigned its 'AA-' rating to Oregon Department of Administrative Services' $23.475 million certificates of participation (COPs), series 2003A, issued for Oregon. The COPs are scheduled to sell on March 10. In addition, Standard & Poor's affirmed its 'AA-' underlying rating (SPUR) on the department's outstanding COPs. The outlook is negative. "The 'AA-' rating on Oregon Department of Administration's series 2003A reflects the general creditworthiness of the state of Oregon as lessee and obligor, and the life term of the lease subject to annual appropriation," said Standard & Poor's credit analyst Parry Young. The certificates are secured by loan payments made by the state through the Department of Administrative...

"Good afternoon everybody. This morning Secretary Napolitano announced new actions my administration will take to mend a nation's immigration policy to make it more fair, more efficient, and more just." President Barack Obama started today's announcement with these words, leading on to say, "Effective immediately, the Department of Homeland Security is taking steps to lift the shadow of deportation from these young people. Over the next few months, eligible individuals who do not present a risk to national security or public safety will be able to request temporary relief from deportation proceedings and apply for work authorization."
President Obama made it clear that though this will be giving illegal immigrants the opportunity to apply for work visas, eliminating the fear of deportation, this was not a road paved towards gaining citizenship. He also said this temporary relief is "not a permanent fix" and "[p]recisely because this is temporary, Congress needs to act."
I, personally, am extremely happy to hear that steps are being taken to better the lives of Latinos living in fear of deportation in the United States. I have friends who have lived in the United States their entire lives, "brought to this country by their parents, sometimes even as infants and often have no idea that they are undocumented until they apply for a job or a drivers license or a college scholarship" (President Obama). It's unfair that even though many have graduated from high school and even college, upon graduation they're stuck working at pizzerias and as assistants in jobs that will not get them where they want to be. They deserve as much of an opportunity as I do.
Obama's powerful words, "They are Americans in their heart, their minds, in every single way but one--on paper" need to be listened to.
What is your opinion on this matter?
I love Obama's quote at the end! I hope Latinos make the best out of this opportunity that is being given to them.

There was no shortage of candidates to serve as traffic and planning commissioners in Garden Grove last March. More than 40 residents with university degrees and backgrounds in real estate, construction and traffic engineering applied for the 12 positions.
Despite the number of volunteers and a city policy designed to limit nepotism, two people with family ties to the council — the son of the mayor and the husband of a councilwoman — were given seats.

Casa da Cascata - How Many Houses Have Their Own Gorge?
Great Price - substantially reduced.
Zen paradise with solid income. A grouping of three restored houses in magical location, private gorge, waterfalls, fantasy 'tropical' gardens, breathtaking views, 12m infinity pool.
This is a rarity – one of the most privileged locations in the region, and benefiting from a warm micro-climate. The houses stand entirely on their own at the end of a cobbled street, tranquil and not overlooked, c. 100 mtrs from the village of Carvalhinhos. The village is obscured by a bend in the road. Beyond the houses is forest track, so there is almost no passing traffic. All three enjoy a sunny, south-facing aspect. The view is quite breathtaking, down a wooded valley to the hills beyond.
The magical 'tropical' gardens are bordered along c. 120 mtrs by a series of tumbling cascades, through rock pools, giant rocks and ferns. Winding paths lead to little 'secret' terraces, where you will find a walled garden with Japanese-style hot tub; a small Chinese pagoda perched on a crag; a lily pond into which tumbles a 5-metre waterfall; and of course the 12m spring water pool, constructed infinity-style to make the most of the gorgeous view. Birdsong and the gentle rush of the cascades are normally the only sounds to be heard in this verdant paradise, but when illuminated at night they are even more fairly-tale.
The property stands in the Serra da Lousã, Portugal's 'Tuscany', one of the country's loveliest and most diverse regions, noted for its lush countryside and warm, clear lakes and rivers (great for swimming).
Only forty minutes by car or train from the houses, Coimbra is the regional capital and Portugal's third city. Here you can find vast shopping malls, as well as the quaint streets and squares one would expect of this medieval university city, on the banks of the River Mondego. It is known as 'City of Doctors', and has one of Europe's leading university hospitals. Fast, reliable and cheap trains link the city to Lisbon and Porto.
For everyday needs, the town of Miranda do Corvo is only ten minutes' drive from the houses. It has shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, cinema, public indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a health centre and a metro station (to Coimbra). Five minutes' drive through the forest takes you to Espinhal, which has a few basic shops, a pharmacy, bank, cafés and Sunday market. The picturesque fortress town of Penela is just twelve minutes away.
The Main House consists of a grand entrance hall; three double bedrooms (one with en suite Jacuzzi bathroom, two with verandas); family double shower room; utility room; good-size fitted kitchen; inner hall with under-stairs cupboard; huge living/dining room with feature stone walls, massive ceiling beam, wood-burning fireplace; glazed doors to covered terrace, on which there is an outside toilet.
From the sitting room of the main house there is a connecting door (easily blocked off) through the near one-metre thick walls to the One-bedroom cottage, which has a large living/dining room with wood-burning stove, fitted kitchen, door to outside terrace, steps up to large double bedroom and fully tiled shower room. This cottage could be let or serve as granny flat/visitors' accommodation.
The separate two-bedroom cottage stands about 20 mtrs from the main house, but screened off by a huge tangerine tree, and on a different level, assuring mutual privacy. It has its own very large terrace commanding wonderful views. Inside on the ground floor is a large living/dining room with fitted kitchen, wood-burning fire, under-stairs cupboard, bedroom with adult bunk beds. Steps lead up to a tiled shower room and large double-bedroom with vaulted wooden ceiling and a veranda with those heart-stopping views. This cottage can produce a very useful income from tourist rentals. All houses were renovated a few years ago and are in excellent decorative and functional order. Double-glazed throughout. Main house has oil-fired central heating throughout; others have programmable oil-filled electrical radiators. Mains water and electricity. Drainage to septic tank. Undercover parking for two cars, space for three more. Garden shed with electricity and water.
Fantastic price for a quick sale, as the owner needs to sell due to personal reasons.

Iraq War: Retired Marine Faces The Past
By editor
It's been 10 years since the United States went to war in Iraq. And it hasn't been easy for soldiers to adjust to life back home. Host Michel Martin speaks with former Marine, Dario DiBattista, about some of the odd experiences he's had since returning — including meeting the widow of a solider he recruited.

Nationwide BS has revealed a 'surprising' 1.3% jump in house prices in August. It was the biggest monthly rise since January 2010 and left the average UK house price at £164,729. It means prices are only 0.7% lower than a year ago, despite the recession and continued mortgage rationing. However, the society's chief economist, Robert Gardner, warned that "we should never read too much into one month's data".
