What's more, the clinically studied, bioavailable forms of well-established nutrients work fast with just one easy pill a day!
Featuring superstar LongVida®—a brain nutrient like no other!
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) has been used as a traditional medicine, spice, and natural coloring agent for thousands of years. And the scientific world has taken notice. In the past 15 years, nearly 6,500 scientific papers have been published on the therapeutic properties of turmeric—and curcumin, its most active constituent.
However, curcumin is not readily absorbed into the bloodstream. And without absorption, it cannot do its job. That's what makes LongVida so incredible. Developed by researchers at UCLA, LongVida is an enhanced curcumin extract that uses SLCP™ (Solid Lipid Curcumin Particle) technology to deliver free curcumin through permeability, solubility, and stability of the active ingredient.
In other words, this specialized technology protects the curcumin molecule from the harsh environment of the stomach, allowing it to dissolve once it's absorbed into the gastrointestinal tract and then smoothly cross into the bloodstream.
LongVida supports memory, alertness, attention, mood, and more!
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, older adults were given 400 mg per day of LongVida (the dosage in Mind & Memory Essentials) or a placebo for 30 days to analyze the effects on cognitive function, performance, and mood.
Using two well-established mental performance tests, cognitive and mood assessments were performed prior to taking curcumin, as well as 1 hour and 3 hours afterwards. Testing was repeated on days 1 and 30. The goal was to determine LongVida's beneficial effect on reaction time, accuracy, sustained attention, motor speed, mental energy (fatigue), alertness, calmness, and contentedness.
Cognitive results within hours! Plus, long-term mood benefits after 30 days
Improved measurements of cognitive function were observed when the study participants were retested 1 and 3 hours after taking LongVida. And mood was enhanced after 30 days. These improved measures of fatigue, alertness, calmness, contentment, attention, and working memory demonstrate LongVida's positive cognitive effects in healthy older adults.1
Exclusive Formula Includes3 More Brain and Memory Powerhouses
Huperzine A keeps your mind sharp and supports your working memory
Derived from the Chinese club moss plant and used for centuries in Chinese medicine, Huperzine A supports healthy acetylcholine levels in the brain, which is critical for normal memory function and overall brain and cognitive health.
Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter, one of the chemicals that neurons use to communicate with one another. It's produced in several locations in the brain and is thought to promote learning. In numerous clinical studies Huperzine A has shown notable benefits regarding cognitive and brain health.
Highly bioavailable B vitamins boost energy and promote long-term brain health
As you may know, the B family of vitamins are vital multitaskers. They are involved in everything from cognitive function and mood to energy production and heart health. There have been numerous studies on the effectiveness of B vitamins, especially folic acid, B6, and B12. But when it comes to brain health, some forms of these vitamins are better than others. Take folic acid, for example.
Most supplements include the synthetic form of folic acid that your body must convert to be effective. Clinically studied and award-winning Quatrefolic® is a highly bioavailable, already converted form of folate—which is critical for supporting normal levels of homocysteine.
In addition, Mind & Memory Essentials contains methylcobalamin, the most bioavailable form of vitamin B12, which is essential for brain and central nervous system functioning, and vitamin B6, which is important for neural functioning, cognitive development, and the production of serotonin and dopamine.
BioPerine® helps increase bioavailability of nutritional compounds in the brain
BioPerine is a natural extract obtained from the black pepper fruit, Piper nigrum, which is cultivated in the damp, nutrient-rich soils of southern India. BioPerine has been clinically shown to enhance the absorption of curcumin in the blood—scientists estimate it may increase absorption by as much as 2,000 times!—and help increase its bioavailability in the brain.
Specifically, research showed that when participants were given curcumin alone or curcumin with BioPerine, the serum concentrations of curcumin were significantly increased with BioPerine.2
Add Acetyl L-Carnitine to Give Your Brain That Extra Edge!
Acetyl L-Carnitine (ALC) is an important nutrient for supporting long-term mental function. When added to my Mind & Memory Essentials, it gives your brain the extra nutritional edge you need if you're already experiencing occasional memory loss. ALC plays two vital roles when it comes to your brain.
First, it's an extremely potent free-radical fighter, and second, it revs up your brain for increased mental energy. Not everyone needs the extra support of ALC. But, if you're noticing more "senior moments" or gaps in your memory, this versatile nutrient can make a dramatic difference and give you a much-needed boost in your mental confidence.
Acetyl L-Carnitine…
- Stimulates the synthesis of acetylcholine, your brain's most important neurotransmitter for memory, thinking, and clarity of mind
- Enhances mental stamina by increasing cellular energy production in your brain
- Nourishes and supports your nerve cell network
- Gives your brain potent support against free-radical damage
Together, Mind & Memory Essentials and Acetyl L-Carnitine give you total brain support for improved mental clarity and cognitive performance, as well as protection against the memory loss that can come with aging.

Science and Quality
Clinical Evidence for LongVida® Optimized Curcumin Extract
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, 60 healthy adults (60–84 years old) were randomly assigned 400mg/d of LongVida or identical placebo for 30 days to analyze the effects of LongVida on cognitive function/performance and mood using the Computerized Mental Performance Assessment System (COMPASS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S).
RESULTS: LongVida supported improved measurements in cognitive function in older healthy individuals after acute and long-term dosing, and mood after long-term supplementation. These improved measures of fatigue, alertness, calmness, contentment, and attention and working memory show LongVida's beneficial effect on mental status in a healthy older population.
- Reaction Time: On the first day, the average reaction time for the LongVida group showed a significant improvement after both one hour and three hours after taking the LongVida. On day 30, the LongVida group again demonstrated a significant improvement at both one hour (and three hours) while the placebo group had no change.
- Accuracy: On day one the number of correct responses increased while the placebo declined after 1 hour.
- Digit Vigilance Tasks: a test using rapid visual tracking measuring sustained attention and motor speed. It is often used to assess mental energy, alertness, attention, and focus. Treatment with LongVida had a significant acute effect on accuracy during the Digit Vigilance task at one hour versus the control.
- Fatigue: A significant benefit of 30-day LongVida on measures of fatigue was observed as well. The control group showed a significant increase in fatigue after completing cognitive testing.
- Alertness: On day 30, subjects in the placebo group noted a significant decline in their subjective feeling of alertness after one hour and three hours, while there was no significant change in alertness among the treatment group. This suggests that 30-day dosing of LongVida may help prevent reduced alertness from prolonged cognitive exertion.
- Calmness: A significant benefit of LongVida on scores of calmness were observed after 30 days .
- Contentedness: A significant benefit of 30-day LongVida was observed after 30 days on scores of contentedness following cognitive testing.
LongVida® SLCP™ Technology
LongVida's SLCP (Solid Lipid Curcumin Particle) technology dissolves curcumin into a lipid particle and protects curcumin from being degraded by acid in the stomach and bile acid in the small intestine.
SLCP: "Solid Lipid Curcumin Particle" Technology, which was developed at UCLA by an elite team of neuroscientists, utilizes a special matrix including a mixture of phospholipids (from soy lecithin) and Ascorbyl Palmitate.
Solubility: SLCP dissolves curcumin into a lipid particle. When this particle enters the bile acids in the small intestine, it dissolves into the bile acids where it is able to be taken up into the bloodstream.
Permeability: using the SLCP technology, the curcumin is in a form that is permeable through the lining of the small intestine.
Stability: SLCP protects curcumin from degradation by different pH (acidic in stomach and basic in small intestine). In many curcumin pK studies, all they find are ferulic acid and vanillin, which are degradation products of curcumin, or curcumin glucuronide, which is an inactive conjugate of curcumin.
We didn't hide the appearance so you can actually see how it works
You may notice the appearance of the Mind & Memory Essentials capsule looks a bit unique. That's due to the unique SLCP Technology in LongVida at work—improving the bioavailability of the curcumin by incorporating it into a solid lipid particle matrix.

Wait a moment, why is this development sad? What's so bad about the developers deciding to make some money after working their asses out for free, year after year? It's not as if the new port will render us unable to able to play the game we all know and love!
What we have here is a new game, with different art assets and similar mechanics, targeting a different, completely proprietary platform. Why do current players feel they are somehow affected by this is beyond me. (Or have you actually forked your money to Microsoft for an Xbox? Sorry, but you don't get to gripe about the non-GPL license then).
Best of luck to them, I say.

Foreign Direct Investment – FDI
You might have heard it all over the finance news channels, news papers etc. At the time of the budget they come into our ears quite often.I'm sure you would have wondered what is this FDI- Foreign Direct Investment. Those of the finance gurus out here would be ready with the answer, but we have to allow the new guys on the dock too.
This post is for those who need to know what an Foreign Direct Investment is. So lets get to the point. In very simple terms we can say that If a company makes an investment in another country on a business or entity It would be called Foreign Direct Investment. Do not get the idea misguided, if a company that is foreign invests indirectly on portfolio, it would not be treated as Foreign Direct Investment or FDI. With the investment the Foreign company would have some controlling power over the invested Company.
An example of foreign direct investment would be an Indian company taking a majority stake in a company in America.
Another example would be a Indian company setting up a joint venture in China.
Every country would have some regulations about the percentage of investment that can be made in their companies.

God: A Story of Revelation (Large Print / Paperback)
In Deepak Chopra's powerful, groundbreaking, and imaginative new work, a unique blend of storytelling and teaching, the New York Times bestselling author explores the evolution of God. By capturing the lives of ten historical prophets, saints, mystics, and martyrs who are touched by a divine power, Chopra reveals a riveting portrait of a constantly changing God. Our beliefand therefore God itselftransforms with each passing century. In this new novel, Chopra brings to life the defining moments of our most influential sages, ultimately revealing universal lessons about the true nature of God.
Job in the Old Testament experienced something completely different from Paul in the New Testament, Socrates chased a mercurial spirit almost unrecognizable to the strange voice that called to Rumi, and Shankara moved from town to town sharing the truth about a God that stood in marked contrast to the one that guided Anne Hutchinsonyet one sees an undeniable pattern. These visionaries took the human race down unknown roads, and Chopra invites us to revisit their destinations. Tearing at our hearts and uplifting our souls, God leads us to a profound and life-altering understanding about the nature of belief, the power of faith, and the spirit that resides within us all.
About the Author
Deepak Chopra is the author of more than fifty-five books translated into over thirty-five languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers in both fiction and nonfiction categories.
Praise For…
Deepak Chopra, the spiritual sage, has exhibited immense ambition…His attempt to explain God makes my bones shiver. His success in defining that life-long mystery brings tears to my eyes and humbles me in gratitude. He has probed through the ages in order to write a book for the ages.
-Maya Angelou
"Deepak Chopra has successfully blended ancient Vedanta Philosophy with his unique perspective on modern science to provide a vast audience with solutions that meet many needs for our modern age."
-Huston Smith, author of The World's Religions
"The line is usually drawn from God to revelation but by drawing it from revelation to God in this astonishing book, Deepak achieves two startling results."
-Arvind Sharma, Birks Professor of Comparative Religion, McGill University
"Spiritual traditions manifest themselves most clearly in the living human beings who embody them. In this highly readable volume Deepak Chopra has told the engaging stories of a dozen of these exemplary figures. The result is both inspiring and richly enjoyable."
-Harvey Cox, author of The Future of Faith
"Through his compelling fictionalization, Deepak Chopra offers an intriguing exposition of the evolution of human theological thought. He should have called the book 'A Brief History of God'!"
-Leonard Mlodinow, co-author (with Stephen Hawking) of The Grand Design and A Briefer History of Time
Blending fictional accounts of ten extraordinary people in history he respects with commentary on their lives and works, Chopra has created a medium for us to ponder the evolution of God.
-Spirituality and Practice

Supervisor's decline to act on Sheriffs offer to delay retirement
Joshua SeboldStaff Writer
The Plumas County Board of Supervisors seemingly put a final dramatic end to the career of Sheriff Terry Bergstrand when it refused to consider acting upon an e-mail from the sheriff informing the board that he would return to work for another year.
Chairwoman Sherrie Thrall asked County Counsel James Reichle to explain the board's options.
Reichle said the board, as the agency that accepted the sheriff's retirement notice in August, could decide to rescind their acceptance of the retirement if it chose, but that Bergstrand would no longer be the sheriff as of midnight Dec. 30 if the board chose not to act.
He added that the agenda item at the supervisors' Dec. 15 meeting was to appoint an interim sheriff to fill the final year of Bergstrand's term, and the supervisors would have to add an urgency item if they wished to discuss or act upon the sheriff's e-mail request.
Reichle also said there seemed to be some confusion on the sheriff's part in terms of the rules on undoing his retirement.
"Well, he really hasn't requested that we approve it. He's more or less told us that's what he's going to do," Thrall agreed.
Supervisor Robert Meacher motioned the urgency item be added, saying he wanted to hear from Undersheriff Greg Hagwood about what would happen if the board didn't take action.
Meacher also said he had heard there could be a legal challenge brought by the sheriff.
The rest of the board didn't seem interested in getting anywhere near the idea of bringing the sheriff back or even discussing the issue further, and the motion died for the lack of a second.
Reichle said he didn't recommend the board act on the actual agenda item either until after the retirement became effective Dec. 30, in case Bergstrand tried to challenge the legality of the board's decision.
He added the next in command—currently Undersheriff Greg Hagwood— would assume all powers of the sheriff once the position was vacated so there was no risk in waiting for that to occur.
The board unanimously decided to continue the decision of whom to appoint as interim sheriff until the first meeting in January.

Hi Rachel, so glad you enjoyed. And you paired it with the perfect veg. I am not normally a broc fan, but the two go so well together.
Raw cheese sauce
Prep Time
5 min -
Total Time
5 min -
Shelf Life
4 days in fridge -
5/5 (from 16 ratings)5 -
6 servings
- 2 cups cashews
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/3 cup nutritional yeast
- 2 tablespoons more water if needed to facilitate blending (optional)
Recipe Directions
- 1. Throw all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
- 2. Blend. This recipe can be a bit of a @#$#$% when blending, so if you're having trouble getting the mixture to mix properly, turn your high-speed blender off and insert a spatula down one side to let a pocket of air down near the blades. Then remove the spatula, put the lid back on and continue blending--going from slow all the way up to fast again. You can also add a bit more water (mentioned above) but I try not to add any more water than three additional tablespoons because I like to keep the texture more on the thick side.
- 3. Serve. I usually use right away, as a dip, on top of broccoli, on top of a raw veggie burger patty.
- 4. Refrigerate leftovers. Leftover raw cheese sauce will keep for up to four days in a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianThis raw cheese sauce recipe is one of the most frequently made savory recipes in my raw kitchen.
Fresh out of the VItamix when it's a bit warm, it's nice and runny - and perfect for serving over broccoli. (When serving over brocolli drop the raw cheese sauce from a spoon.)
When refrigerated, this raw cheese sauce becomes a bit firmer - more like raw cheez whiz! Perfect for spreading on raw bread, on top of a raw veggie or much more.
Want to know more about raw cheese sauce? Listen to The Raw Food Podcast, Episode 10, where I dish everything I know about raw cheese!
Another handy tip - got leftover raw cheese sauce and aren't sure what to do with it? Dehydrate it until it becomes nice and crispy. Crumble it up and you now have raw parmesan cheese that can be stored in a glass jar in your pantry! Lovely as a soup or salad topper.

I have concerns about Nutritional Yeast in there. Many dietitians don't recommend it and it also gives me insane gas and digestive issues. Seems like a bad idea, what do you think?
dina's Review
Raw cheese sauce
oh yes this sauce is incredible and very seducing, it makes you want more and more !
if you leave the cashew in a cup of water over night, the sauce is done - the next day - in a wink of an eye !
plse tell me, the broccoli, do you eat it raw ?

Amy's Review
Raw cheese sauce
Paired this delish sauce with a salad of broccoli and apple. Amazing!
Amanda's Review
Raw cheese sauce
One of the best ways to eat broccoli!! So good! I love these cheese recipe.
I would also be interested in a cheese recipe without the nutritional yeast. I love the taste of it and do not have a sensitive stomach to anything else. Nutritional yeast is the only food that I have extreme sensitivity to. If you do not have this problem, this sounds like a very yummy recipe. Thanks for all of the amazing recipes! I am newly raw and your recipes are what make me feel like I can be successful at maintaining this raw food lifestyle for the long term. Love your podcasts too :)
Deanna, just make the sauce without the yeast, it tastes delicous however ;)
patvoss's Review
Raw cheese sauce
I absolutely could not believe how good this is! Next to the jar of alfredo sauce in the fridge is the raw cheese sauce. These will be staples going forward.
Okay, I made this again for the second night in a row except this time I added a little garlic powder and pepper and made it as a mac and cheese! It was delicious!!
I just made this raw cheese sauce tonight and it was AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much!
Hi just wondering how long I could store this sauce in the fridge for? Thanks :-)
Reena's Review

Loc: California Most people know that the STD syphilis is named after the shepherd Syphilis who is the hero of a poem, Syphilis, sive morbus Gallicus (Syphilis, or the French disease) written by the Reneaissance physician Girolamo Fracastoro [1478–1553] and published in 1530. Least any of our francophone friends be upset with the term French disease, it should be remembered that syphilis was also called the Spanish disease (because Columbus' sailors supposedly brought it back from the New World), the German disease, and the Neapolitan (sometimes Italian) disease. (The English disease being saved for another thing entirely.)
I've never seen an etymology of syphilis offered, other than the eponymous shepherd hero. It occurs to me that it could possibly have been derived from suphe(i)os 'hog-sty' by Fracastoro (connected with Latin sus 'hog' and English swine, and which reminds me of Elizabethan and Jacobean stews 'a brothel'), though this latter is not related to sty, but rather Greek tuphus 'fever' whence our disease typhus. A sty is an enclosure for swine, but also an inflammation of a sebaceous gland in the eye.
Another term for syphilis is lues 'plague, pestilence'; Tacitus describes in his History a invading German army as immensa belli lues 'a huge plague of war' (iii.15).
It also just dawned on me that I've never heard any of the folks upset with inflammable meaning combustible, ranting about inflammation. Hmm.

Loc: rego park you post reminded me of my surprise when i learned an uncle (by marriage) who was a doctor, (and head of of the Bronx county public service) was a board certifed dermatologist!
syphilis was (in times past) a disease for dermatogists--since it first manifest as a skin lesion.
by the time i knew Uncle Irving, (the mid 70's) i associated dermatologist with cosmetic skin treatments (and acne) not at all with STD's!
what the situation now? (can one of the board doctors help?) is there a specialy for STD?
most women would go to a gyn if they thought they had a STD
and i think men would go to urologist.. (or GP/internist)
but which medical specialty would consentrate on STD's? (there is now a specialty for public health/communicably diseases, isn't there?)_________________________

Well, one did lead to the other. A friend who is a doctor brought sounds to my attention when I mentioned the etymology of syphilis.

Loc: Worcester, MA but which medical specialty would consentrate on STD's? (there is now a specialty for public health/communicably diseases, isn't there?)
Usually it's referred to an ID person these days (Infectious Diseases). But - at the risk of sounding like Dr Bill - part of my time in the Army was spent as I Corps area dermatologist, and indeed VD patients came to my clinic. Although there wasn't much siphilis, mostly the clap (that's gonorrhea for you innocents). Anyhow the treatment of the one covered the other as well so it didn't matter that much...

Posts: 107 I have no numbers to back this, but in the US my guess in the ED docs (yours truly) treat most of this - at least acutely.
Health Departments do what they can, but with poor resources and a problem that is just so much fun to spread...
#134945 - 06/23/05 12:45 PM Clap?
Registered: 06/18/05
Posts: 107 Hey, a fitting question for this erudite crowd - why is gonorrhea referred to as clap?
#134946 - 06/23/05 01:05 PM Re: Clap?
Registered: 01/05/01
Posts: 1773 From answers.com:
Gonorrhea is also commonly known by the slang term "the clap" - suggested etymology from the Old French word "clapier", meaning "brothel". (Another suggested source for the term is from the notorious 18th century brothel keeper known as "Mother Clap", though perhaps her name itself was derived from the slang term). It could also refer to the painful sting in the male urethra, which feels like the sting of a clap when infected with this disease.
But the online etymological dictionary says:
"gonorrhea," 1587, of unknown origin, perhaps from M.E. claper, from O.Fr. clapoire, originally "rabbit burrow" but given a slang extension to "brothel." Originally also a v., "to infect with clap."
And, Take Our Word for It says:
For those of you wondering where the clap, another term for gonorrhea, came from, no one knows for certain. It dates from the late 16th century, though the verb to clap "to infect with gonorrhea" surfaced a bit earlier. One source suggests that the verb derives from "to clap one's hands on," but that does seem a bit tenuous. A better possible explanation is that it comes from Old French clapoir "venereal bubo". So what the heck is a bubo? It's a swelling or boil, especially in the groin. Eeew!
I guess the short answer is, "nobody knows."

Comments about Whole Life Pet Products Whole Life 100% Organic Chicken Freeze-Dried Treats:
I wrote a comment already, but didn't mean to say grave, grave, grave, but meant our Boxer craved the treats. It was his Birthday Gift.

Grave, grave, grave...
We purchased these treats for our Boxer as a Birthday Gift for him. Our Boxer graved these treats everyday, we felt he could not get enough:)

Cats won't eat it...quality has deteriorated
As good as it gets!
By katiebythesea
from North San Diego County, CA
Four indoor cats. One finicky one. They all love this super nutritious treat. They mostly eat pate' so I give this to them dry and somewhat hard. If they could make it harder / firmer that'd be better IMO.

My Ragdolls Luv it!
By Dee Dee
from Bonita Springs, FL
My 4 ragdolls run to the kitchen and meow for it!What I like that its all natural, no additives. It's basically freeze dried chicken. When my kittys don't like a new can of food, rather than waste the food I sprinkle it on and they love it and finish the can food. I have used this to encourage my cats positive behavior as a treat. Now they love friends coming over to the house because they know they will be getting treats from them.

Snoring is a sound made during sleep. It is the sound of the throat vibrating as air flows through it.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Air should be able to move easily through your mouth, nose, and throat. Sometimes, during sleep, air cannot move through these areas easily. This turbulent airflow makes the roof of the mouth vibrate. This is what causes the snoring sound. Smaller airways can lead to louder snoring. Airflow may be obstructed by:
Being over 50 years old and male increase the risk of snoring. Other factors include:
The main symptom of snoring is noisy breathing during sleep.
Snoring may be associated with a sleep condition called sleep apnea. Snoring with sleep apnea may cause these symptoms:
Call your doctor if you snore and you have other symptoms of sleep apnea. Talk to your doctor if you have regular snoring that is bothering you or your partner.
If your child is snoring regularly, talk to their doctor.
If your snoring is severe, the doctor will want to make sure you do not have obstructive sleep apnea. Diagnosis may involve:
In cases of snoring without sleep apnea, lifestyle changes may alleviate symptoms. More severe cases may require surgery or devices.
Changes that may help stop snoring include:
Surgery may be done to remove excess tissue in the nose or throat. During surgery, a laser or scalpel will remove the tissue that is blocking the airway. Treatment by laser surgery requires a series of surgeries. These surgeries are usually reserved for severe and disruptive cases of snoring.
Another procedure is to try to stiffen the roof of the mouth.
Devices that can open airways during sleep include:
To reduce the chances of snoring, take these steps:

I just did some tests w/ my Lenovo Thinkpad T510, i5-560M. The system was lightly loaded ith poewrto pa nd a script to record power at 5 second intervals. firefox was running, and webpages refresseh 4 times through the tes.t The system was allowed to idel to a screen-dim state for one ~ 5 second interval.
Power consumption was measured by access to the smart-battery smapi interface.
Under Linux 220.127.116.11 -
average power: 14.674W
lowest recorded: 12.731W (display dimmed)
highest recorded: 19.103W (broswer update)
Under Linux 22.214.171.124 - (same config with default 'make oldconfig' defaults).
average power: 13423W
lowest recorded: 11.752W (display dimmed)
highest recorded: 17.979W (broswer update)
My causal observation viewing powertop is that both kernels typically had 130-140 wakups per second, however the 188.8.131.52 showed a few infrequent very high peaks.
My impression is that Linux 188.8.131.52 has considerably lower power use on my thinkpad, saving perhaps 1. - -1.2 Watts on average.
There may well be power regression on some kernels for some hardware, but the extrapolated implication that this is widespead or applies to many/most systems is not justified by the evidence.

Job Application Advice from an HR Pro
Many companies want job seekers to follow a simple formula: Fill out an online application and attach a current resume.
Online or paper applications are official statements of interested in open positions, says Janet McCullough, corporate human resources manager for a telecommunications company in southern Minnesota.
Applications offer job seekers a way to present their qualifications along with their agreement that "all information presented in the application are honest and true statements," she says. "They may contain employer requirements for drug testing, criminal background checks and other pre-employment information," McCullough says.
Take time to fill out the applications and sign them, she suggests. "First impressions are important, and even online applications have the ability to make a good or not-so-good first impression," she says.
If the website allows you to attach a resume to you application, make sure your resume provides "not too little or too much detail." A good model is a one-page resume that captures key areas of education, experience, skills, and preferably, the three most recent employers.
"In today's market, I may receive a large number of job seekers, and I have only a short period of time to review and look for the key words I need to see to go to the next step in recruiting," says McCullough.
Her company's HR staff rarely looks through the pile of resumes they have collected over several months. Instead they look at who applied for the current opening. McCullough observes: "You need to check back at our website constantly to let us know you want to apply for new openings, or you can arrange for an automatic e-mail to be sent to you when a position in your interest area opens up — a tool many websites use."

Preparing professionals to take leadership in transition planning for students with disabilities.
To comply with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, schools must provide transition planning for special education students aged 14 and older (16+ in some states) as they prepare for work, community participation, and post-secondary learning. This 15-credit Transition Specialist Endorsement prepares licensed special educators, guidance counselors, school social workers, and rehabilitation counselors to work effectively with this group, focusing on their educational, functional, and social/emotional needs.
Develop the skills and knowledge to assess, plan, and deliver transitional experiences, work effectively with culturally and linguistically diverse families, and build partnerships with local agencies and employers. The program covers transition-related law, assessment, collaboration skills, and other transition-related skills. It places emphasis on the critical importance of self-determination and self-advocacy in the transition process.
