A bantamweight matchup between "The Ultimate Fighter 14" finalist T.J. Dillahsaw (4-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) and two-time UFC vet Walel Watson (9-3 MMA, 1-1 UFC) is the fifth and final main-card bout of next week's UFC on FUEL TV 1 event.
The bout was announced in January, but its position on the evening's fight card was only recently revealed.
UFC on FUEL TV 1 takes place Feb. 15 at the 10,000-seat Omaha Civic Auditorium in Nebraska. Diego Sanchez and Jake Ellenberger clash in the welterweight headliner, and heavyweights Dave Herman and Stefan Struve meet in the co-headliner.
Ronny Markes vs. Aaron Simpson and Philip De Fries vs. Stipe Miocic complete the evening's main card, which airs live on FUEL TV. The five-bout preliminary card streams on Facebook.
Dillashaw looks to rebound from his first professional loss, a surprising first-round TKO defeat at the hands of John Dodson in the final bout of "The Ultimate Fighter 14." Prior to the loss, the Team Alpha Male product had opened his career with four-straight wins and was favored by many to win the season's 135-pound tournament.
He know faces Watson, who looks to rebound from a narrow split-decision loss to Yves Jaboiun at December's UFC 140 event. The contentious result snapped a modest two-fight win streak for Watson, who earned a TKO win in an octagon debut matchup with Joseph Sandoval.
UFC on FUEL TV 1's full lineup includes:
- Jake Ellenberger vs. Diego Sanchez
- Dave Herman vs. Stefan Struve
- Ronny Markes vs. Aaron Simpson
- Philip De Fries vs. Stipe Miocic

Gen. Casey: National Guard Vital in Long War
August 27, 2007
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (Army News Service, Aug. 27, 2007) - The National Guard is making a vital contribution to current wars and will continue to be integral as we enter a period of persistent conflict, the chief of staff of the Army said here Aug. 26.
With the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks fast approaching, Gen. George W. Casey Jr. counseled Citizen-Soldiers and -Airmen to reflect on the future.
"We are at war. We are facing a period of protracted conflict. ... Stop for a minute and think about what's at stake here," he urged those attending the National Guard Association of the United States' 129th General Conference. "What's at stake here in this war is the power and the values of our civilization.
"What's at stake here is whether terrorism or freedom charts the future," he said. "What's at stake here is nothing less than our way of life."
As they have been since the First Muster of 1636, the nation's Minutemen are on the frontlines. "The men and women of the Army and Air Guard are out there every day ... fighting to ensure that the values and ideals upon which this country is based aren't forgotten," Gen. Casey said.
The comments came during an hour-long speech and question-and-answer session that included a sobering global geopolitical assessment.
"There is near unanimity among people who think about the future - intelligence officials, academics, think-tanks, people within the Department of Defense - that the next decades will be ones of persistent conflict," Gen. Casey said. "We're in for a protracted period of confrontation that is fueled by state and non-state individual actors who are increasingly willing to use violence to achieve their political and ideological bents.
"We're seeing that now, and there is no reason to believe that that is not going to continue."
Several trends are fueling conflict, he said:
Globalization "Globalization has had unquestionable positive impacts on prosperity around the world," Gen. Casey said. "Unfortunately, most of that has been north of the equator. The people that are not beneficiaries of the increased prosperity can become recruits for some of these ideological groups or terrorist networks."
Improved communications "The same connectivity and technological advances that are boosting prosperity are also now being used by terrorist organizations to export terror around the world," Gen. Casey said.
Increased energy demand "The competition for energy is going to become more intense," Gen. Casey said. "Because of rising middle classes in China and India, for example, the demand for oil is going to outstrip the supply and the resources that are currently being dedicated to look for new (deposits) and to look for alternatives aren't going to be able to bridge the gap. We're going to see increased competition for these different resources and probably also a switch to cleaner fuels like a move to natural gas. Almost 60 percent of natural gas reserves happen to be in three places: Russia, Iran and Qatar. ... What we're going to see is probably more dependence on the Middle East."
Disasters "Climate problems and natural disasters are going to create more difficult problems for the less developed countries," Gen. Casey said.
Population growth "Analysts are predicting that some of these less developed countries - primarily South America, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and Southeast Asia - are going to almost double in population in the next 25 years," he said. "That's going to create a young population that, again, is more vulnerable to ideological terrorists."
Weapons proliferation "The increased proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their likely use by terrorist organizations" are looming threats, Gen. Casey said.
"Recent intelligence estimates conclude that Al Qaeda is looking for weapons of mass destruction, and there is no question that they will use them, most likely against a developed country, if they find them.
"What I see in the coming decades: You have a propensity for conflict that will be fueled by these local trends, and they'll likely be taken advantage of by these global terrorist organizations."
Previously commander of Multinational Force Iraq, Gen. Casey has been the Army chief of staff since April 10.
"How proud I am of the contribution of the National Guard to this war on terror over the past almost six years," he said. "I've seen firsthand the contributions. ... Half of the Guard and Reserve are combat veterans. ...You continue to fill the role of citizen, Soldier and patriot: citizens most of the time, Soldiers some of the time and patriots all the time."
"What will victory look like'" an audience member asked.
"Unfortunately, there is not going to be a D-Day invasion," Gen. Casey replied. "This is an ideological confrontation. Frankly, it's not going to be won until Muslim moderates achieve success over Muslim extremists. Our job is to keep Muslim extremist groups from prevailing in the Middle East as well as from attacking our country. It's not going to be a big battle, it's going to be an ideological struggle that's going to play out over the next several decades, not unlike the Cold War. It'll be something that'll gradually, over time, get better. But I can't see that you're going to wake up one morning and say, 'Boy, I'm glad that's over.' That's not going to be the case at all."
The conference host, NGAUS, includes nearly 45,000 current and former officers. The nation's oldest veterans' or military service organization was created in 1878 to provide unified Guard representation in Washington with the goal of obtaining better equipment and training by petitioning Congress for more resources, the same mission it has today.
(Staff Sgt. Jim Greenhill writes for the National Guard Bureau.)

The consistently thought-provoking Sabio Lantz posted this image on his blog:
I could respond with a Venn diagram of my own, one that depicts the intersection of liking the image and feeling I've understood it. I am not sure that I truly am in the overlap of the two. I instinctively like it. But what does it mean? Is the point that wisdom involves exploring the limits of knowledge and the limits of doubt, and balancing and clinging to both? Or is it something else?
Perhaps others with greater wisdom than I will have thoughts about this…but since talking about wisdom is always a wise course of action, hopefully my sharing it will show wisdom, even if my uncertainty as to whether I have correctly understood Sabio's point does not.

Report: Bears discussed extending Cutler before Trestman hire
Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is about to enter the last year of his contract, and since he'll earn close to $9 million this year, he seems OK for now with the lack of an extension. As CBSSports.com's Larry Hartstein wrote in March, "It makes sense to see how Cutler fares under [new coach Marc] Trestman and new [offensive] coordinator Aaron Kromer before giving him a long-term deal."
Sure it does, and as Trestman said in February, "I haven't discussed any of that with Jay."
But according to the Chicago Tribune, there had been talk about a Cutler extension before the Bears hired Trestman to replace the fired Lovie Smith.
In fact, the Bears had talked about paying Cutler an average of $15 million per season, and since that might be the going rate to franchise-tag a quarterback in 2014, the team instead could put off a long-term decision on Cutler and tag him next offseason.
But it stands to reason that Chicago's decision to pay Cutler (or to even keep him for another year) will be based largely on how he performs in Trestman's new offense in 2013.
As I wrote in the team's training camp preview, the Bears have upgraded what had been a previously-shoddy offensive line that continually got Cutler beaten up. The team also has given Cutler a potentially-dangerous tight end in Martellus Bennett. So, Cutler has more weapons for 2013 than in previous seasons.
If Cutler can't produce, it seems unlikely Chicago will want to invest in him long term, even if the Bears reportedly had discussed doing exactly that before Trestman got to town.
Luckily, though, there was some good news Tuesday for the always-charismatic Cutler. It's doubtful, though, Cutler's good fortune will make Henry Melton feel any better about not getting a long-term deal.

Girl Scouts repair nature trail behind school
Troop members clear weeds, reestablish path and build benches
Junior Girl Scout Troop 2655 wanted the nature trail behind their school to look nice and well kept. So the girls spent about 15 hours fixing up the land behind Excelsior School on Eureka Road in Roseville, clearing weeds, reestablishing the path and — with the help of their parents — building benches in the gathering area. In addition to creating a beautiful space for other students and teachers, the Girl Scouts earned a Bronze Medal. The troop has been working on the award project all school year, but the actual trail work began last month and finished April 25. In honor of Dan Wick, an Excelsior School teacher who has battled cancer this year, the girls sewed "well-wishes flags," based on the Tibetan prayer flags, during one of their troop meetings. Students later decorated the flags, which will be hung around the trail. A Boy Scout troop built the natural trail in 2003, but weeds overtook the area, covering the path, and the old benches fell apart. ~ Sena Christian

The New Thailand-Myanmar Axis
Pavin Chachavalpongpun, The Diplomat
The Associated Press
Amid international sanctions, the Thai junta has found some comfort in the warm embrace of China. Shortly after the coup, photos surfaced of Army Chief, General Prayuth Chan-ocha– who's also serving as the interim prime minister– shaking hands with Chinese business owners, demonstrating the Thai tactic of employing China to counterbalance Western sanctions.
But China is not Thailand's only friend in its time of need. On July 4, Myanmar Supreme Commander Senior General Min Aung Hlaing paid a visit to Bangkok, making him the first leader from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to meet the Thai junta after the coup.

Ciara's not really trying to answer any questions about the details of her breakup with former fiancé Future, but has she gone into hiding?
Sadly there was no future for Ciara with Future, and the "Body Party" singer is supposedly so devastated that E! News reports she's been spending a lot of time alone. It's not that she couldn't really use her friends during this difficult as she works to raise her son baby Future on her own, but she doesn't want to face anyone or their questions.
"[Ciara's] very embarrassed and keeping to herself right now," a source told E! recently. "She's usually so outgoing but most of her friends haven't heard from her since the news broke."
The insider added, "She's definitely not talking about it. Who could blame her? It's a hard time for her. She's humiliated and angry."
Part of the embarrassment might come from the fact that she and Future broke up while her August/September issue of Brides magazine is still on stands! That's major face crack.

Hey Wayne! I'm 1 of your die-hard "C.C.Cars" fans and being a bigtime "car guy" as my Dad was, you have the best show TV's ever known! In the mid 60's Dad and I were Jim Hall's White Winged #65 & 66 Chaparral (2E our favs!)freaks and saw he and Hap Sharp (Phil Hill) vs the Orange McLaren's of the #4 & 5 Bruce McLaren and Dennis Hulme many many times at Laguna Seca and Riverside Int.

There will never be another "Can-Am" series or anything as innovative or spectacular as that to me! Also saw all the A & B Production racing in CA w/ the 66 Shelby SC Cobras 427's, 66 Corvette 427's, Porsche 911's and even Don Webers Porsche 904 which was always tough to beat in the end, it handled so phenominally but the 427's ate it up on the straights!), The Jag XKE 6 cyl's, Morgans, and the Shelby Mustang GT-350 & 500's and those days are a once in a lifetime racing era as well don't you think? Loved your show on the 1994 Ferrari Boxer 512i and I'm assuming you kept that one right? They were definitely a 1 of a kind Ferrari! Anyways just wanted to thank you sincere as I can be for teaching me so much about cars, restoring them and appreciate all that you do for the under privilaged in this country (The kids in the School., "The Special Olympics" etc etc as I've raised an autistic boy for many years and understand the challange so thanks Wayne!

Episode 1 - Alias Bill Hawks:Assistant wagon master Bill Hawks makes an excursion to a desert town in search of an old friend. Upon arrival, he finds the man's property under the control of the townspeople, who are using the land to drill for precious water. Greeted with hostility, and given no decent explanation for the whereabouts of his Native American friend, Hawks begins to suspect some sort of conspiracy.
Episode 2 - The Doctor Denker Story:The wagon train encounters a terrified boy who has just witnessed the murder of his father by a group of marauders. Young Billy is taken in by Bill Hawks and Flint, who endeavor to help him recover from his trauma. Bitter Civil War veteran Ed Beaufort attempts to help the boy by preaching the power of vengeance. After welcoming traveling musicologist Dr. Denker to the group, it seems Billy may have found an outlet for his grief in the joy of music; but when his true connection to Dr. Denker comes to light, Beaufort's belief in revenge may win out.
Episode 3 - The Malachai Hobart Story:Duke has a chance meeting with Malachai Hobart, a man of God who preaches kindness and brotherly love. Parting ways with a glowing opinion of the charitable preacher, Duke soon learns that he is actually a con man using religious faith as a way to bilk believers out of money.

La.-Lafayette tops Western Kentucky

India's $35 iPad Competitor Captures Interest
A billboard displayed on one of this Swiss town's main thoroughfares succinctly encapsulates the hope and the challenges posed by rapid technological change and globalization — both mainstays of the World Economic Forum's debate here in snow-blanketed Davos.
Part of India's bid to promote itself as a technological powerhouse during the forum, it shows a woman in what looks like an Indian university holding a tablet computer with a $35 price tag.
Less than two years after Apple Inc. released its phenomenally successful iPad tablet, Montreal's Datawind LLC has made a competing Aakash Ubislate unit for the Indian market with a retail price that's less than a tenth of what the cheapest iPad sells for in the U.S.
If it takes off, this will make the convenience and power of tablet computing accessible for millions of aspiring members of the Indian middle class, people who should themselves then be able use this technology to further become more productive and innovative. But the cost and wage base needed to achieve such price points also puts intense competitive pressure on Apple, Samsung and other tablet producers, as well as on their employees.
Notwithstanding rumors that Aakash's Ubislate tablet could be shelved because of some early glitches, the message from the Indian billboard is: we live in an age when the time lag between which technology goes from being available for well-to-do "first adopters" to being mass marketed to lower-income consumers has rapidly shrunk.
As most economists will say, the answer to such "disruptive" developments is for companies to keep innovating. It's a positive feedback loop that is of course evident across many industries, and the good news behind that is that it speaks to continued productivity growth and economic expansion.
Amid the doom and gloom over the global economic outlook that's dominated discussion at this year's Davos forum, that's some welcome food for thought.

Neuroprosthetics is an area of neuroscience concerned with neural prostheses, that is, artificial devices used to replace damaged or missing parts of the brain. The neuroprosthetic seeing the most widespread use is the cochlear implant, which is in approximately 85,000 people worldwide as of 2005.
Research was undertaken by the American CIA in the 1950s as one aspect of the MKULTRA designator - notably Subprojects 86 [originally an invasive prosthetic identifier thought to expand in reporting body responses such as blood pressure or tremor], 94 [neurostimulus in animals immediately defining direction of movement and control], and 119 [remote "reassembly" or unification of monitored neural impulse into a useable data product]. CIA documentation - mostly the original queries with budget numbers for the initial years of research though none of the contractor's reporting - was released in response to congressional inquiry in the 1970s; in retrospect the pattern of release suggesting legacy factions in the CIA effectively used the opportunity to undermine then-director Stansfield Turner.
An early difficulty in the development of neuroprosthetics was reliably locating the electrodes in the brain, originally done by inserting the electrodes with needles and breaking off the needles at the desired depth. Recent systems utilize more advanced probes, such as those used in deep brain stimulation to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinsons Disease. The problem with either approach is that the brain floats free in the skull while the probe does not, and relatively minor impacts, such as a low speed car accident, are potentially damaging. Some researchers, such as Kensall Wise at the University of Michigan, have proposed tethering 'electrodes to be mounted on the exterior surface of the brain' to the inner surface of the skull. However, even if successful, tethering would not resolve the problem in devices meant to be inserted deep into the brain, such as in the case of deep brain stimulation [DBS].
Current research
Visual prosthesis
One of the prominent goals in neuroprosthetics is a visual supplement, noting roughly 95% of all people considered 'blind' suffer significant impairment but have some capability (for example, seeing some sort of blur) - only about 5% of 'blind' people are totally blind. By the 1940s, researchers had established the concept of artificial electrical stimulation of the visual cortex, and in the late 1960s, British scientist Giles Brindley produced breakthrough findings with a system for placing electrodes on the brain's surface. When specific areas of the brain were stimulated in blind volunteers, all reported "seeing" phosphenes that corresponded to where they would have appeared in space. However, experiments were discontinued because of the uncomfortably high currents required for stimulation on the surface of the brain.
Encouraged by this work, the National Institutes of Health undertook a project to develop and deploy an interface based on ultrafine wire (25 to 50 micrometres) densely populated with electrode sites that could be implanted deep into the visual cortex, thus requiring less current than Brindley's original design. This work led to new electrode technology—finer than the width of human hair—that could be safely implanted in animals to electrically stimulate, and passively record, electrical activity in the brain. The efforts produced significant advances in neurophysiology, with publication of hundreds of papers in which researchers attempted to develop an electronic interface to the brain.
With this new technology, several scientists, including Karin Moxon at Drexel, John Chapin at SUNY, and Miguel Nicolelis at Duke University, started research on the design of a sophisticated visual prosthesis. Other scientists have disagreed with the focus of their research, arguing that the basic research and design of the densely populated microscopic wire was not sophisticated enough to proceed.
Other prostheses
In 2003 Patrick Kennedy (Emory and Georgia Tech) had an operable if somewhat primitive system designed, allowing a handicapped person to spell words with nerve impulses.
Much of the ongoing research in neuroprosthetics concerns retinal implants and cochlear implants, though for example at the University of Southern California research is done for hippocampal implants.
Commercial technology
Medtronic is a significant commercial name in the emergent market.

Has anyone seen this yet?
It's being marketed as a do everything/utility/light touring bike, probably not too different from the crosscheck and the similar pake and salsa bikes.
Seeing as this is just about exactly what I've been looking for, I was thinking of picking one up (frame/fork that is). My only concern is the load capacity. It says 30lb rear and 20lb front, which I'm sure are conservative estimates. What are the average load capacities for normal touring bikes? I'm 150 lbs and would like to use this for touring- do I have anything to worry about? I feel like I'd never be packing more than 50 lbs of gear anyway, but I'd like more experienced folks' opinions.

The "Avengers" premiere brought out all of the biggest stars, from actors and singers to dancing phenoms. "Dancing with the Stars" own Karina Smirnoff showed off her toned body on the red carpet in a sassy sequin covered champagne mini dress.
The fun dress looked like a throwback to the roaring 1920s and Smirnoff kept her cosmetics and hairstyle with the old-fashion theme as well. Smirnoff played up her perfect pout with a touch of shimmery gold lip gloss and enhanced her naturally high cheekbones with golden brown bronzer that she applied using makeup brushes. The professional dancer kept her eye makeup in sync with the rest of her ensemble by using bronze and gold eyeshadow and tons of lash elongating mascara.
Smirnoff's elegant makeup worked beautifully with the shimmering dress that also boasted capped sleeves and a swirly design made out of silver sequins and dark colored beads. The dancer added more flair to the look by keeping her long black hair swept over on one side in gentle curls. Smirnoff also added a modern touch by way of her black pumps that had a bit of metallic hardware on the tips of the shoes.

Styling Tip
Using your fingers, distribute a dollop of mousse onto towel-dried hair. Blow-dry hair while using a round brush to move two-inch sections forward, rolling the ends under and in toward your face. Dab pomade on fingertips, then slightly twist wispy pieces around your face. Finish off with a light mist of hairspray for all day hold.Try on celebrity hairstyles in the Makeover Studio!

Meet Our Trainers
ACTFL Workshop Trainers are a select group of nationally recognized experts who specialize in the specific content areas and regularly conduct workshops in the U.S. and abroad. ACTFL trainers all have demonstrated special talent and skill in OPI testing and rating, and they are successful in leading training sessions that provide content knowledge and practical, on-the-spot instruction in interviewing and rating of speaking competence in second languages. The corps of ACTFL Trainers is a small, carefully chosen group. ACTFL is extremely proud of its members' work and dedication.
Here are profiles of just a few of our current trainers:
Mahdi Alosh
Karen Breiner-Sanders
Sahie Kang
Flavia Laviosa
Alice "Ali" Miano
Chantal Thompson
Maureen Weissenrieder
Mahdi Alosh
Mahdi Alosh is currently the Research Chair Professor in the Arabic Language Institute at King Saud University and served as Professor of Arabic and Applied Linguistics and Associate Dean at the United States Military Academy at West Point from 2006-2009. He was Associate Professor at the Ohio State University 1987-2006, where he also served as director of the Arabic Language Program.
Personal Statement
My role as an ACTFL trainer constantly puts me in contact with young professionals in the field, who want to make a difference. With ACTFL training, many of them have been able to assert themselves and contribute to the field positively, which is highly gratifying personally.
I took my first OPI workshop back in 1986. It was pivotal in my professional growth. I used the proficiency principles imparted during the training to overhaul the Arabic Language Program at Ohio State and to author a series of textbooks over the years based on these principles. Recently, I have finished a major project to develop a suite of proficiency tests for Arabic, all based on the ACTFL Guidelines. The opportunities made possible by ACTFL training are almost limitless.
In 2005, I was invited to conduct an OPI workshop at the American University in Cairo. The director of the Arabic Language Institute at the time Professor Al-Said Badawi mentioned to me that he was not particularly eager to have the participants obtain certification. He just wanted them to go through the workshop that he believed to be an excellent teacher development opportunity. Ironically, all the participants went all the way and became certified, an unprecedented feat.
Karen E. Breiner-Sanders
Karen E. Breiner-Sanders is Associate Professor Emerita of Spanish and Hispanic Studies in the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service and the Department of Spanish & Portuguese, Georgetown University. Over her 34-year career at Georgetown, she taught a variety of courses including all levels of Spanish language, Hispanic film, and seminars on violence, human rights, and colliding images in Latin America. An ACTFL-certified oral proficiency tester and trainer and a certified rater of writing proficiency in Spanish and English, Professor Breiner-Sanders has conducted numerous workshops throughout the country and internationally on proficiency testing and proficiency-oriented instructional design. She is also a certified tester and trainer on the Government (ILR) scale in both Spanish and English. Her publications include "La Familia de Pascual Duarte" a través de su imaginería, The ACTFL Revised Proficiency Guidelines-Writing (2001, co-author), The ACTFL Revised Proficiency Guidelines -Speaking and Explanatory Appendix (1999, co-editor and co-author), The ACTFL Performance Guidelines for K-12 Learners (1998, co-author), as well as chapters and articles on Hispanic literature and film, and on language testing, instruction and acquisition. For the period 1999-2001, Dr. Breiner-Sanders served as Director of the Spanish School at Middlebury College in Vermont. She is founder and past chair of the ACTFL Cinema SIG (Special Interest Group), and she serves on a variety of boards in education and government.
Personal Statement
I conducted my very first training in 1986, a mere 4 months after I became certified as an ACTFL trainer. I was to give the first plenary – which included the "functional trisection" -- at a mega-workshop in California that was the kick-off for a state-wide proficiency initiative on the university level. When I asked the organizer about the overhead projector, she told me that it wasn't available for the first day, that I should just wing it. Small wonder that I broke out in hives and vowed never to conduct another training. That was 133 workshops ago and counting.
To this day, the organizer does not know that I had never trained before. Had she known, she might not have wanted me to be the first presenter before a large audience that included state officials and powerful sponsors. The California Project continued for quite a few years, and I never again suffered from hives.
I was the first in my family to attend college. When I returned home for a visit after my first semester, my father said to me "Okay, so talk to me in college". After some 27 years as an ACTFL certified tester and 26 years as an ACTFL trainer, I can confidently say to the vast number of colleagues in the field "So, talk to me in OPI." We now all speak the same language!
Sahie Kang
Sahie Kang (PhD in Linguistics, University of Florida 1990) is a Professor of Korean and Dean of School of Resident Education for Advanced Studies of Languages at the Defense Language Institute. She is the founding chair of the Korean Special Interest Group at the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (2006-2009) and has served as Vice President of the International Association of Korean Language Education (2005-2007). She has been a Master Trainer and tester for the ACTFL Oral Proficiency Interview since 2002 and conducted numerous OPI Assessment workshops in major universities in the US as well as in Korea. She has also been an ILR tester since 1993. Her publications include "Implementing and Assessing Portfolio Projects" (with J. Shannon in TESOL PAIS, 2008) and "History of Korean Language Education" (with K. Minn, Hangukmunwhasa, 2005).
Personal Statement
As an ACTFL Trainer, I value the tremendous opportunities not only to help teachers evaluate their students' language proficiency more objectively but also to help them become a better teacher with realistic teaching and learning goals.
Conducting OPI workshops is one of my most favorite academic activities. It is interesting that I never get tired during the four day workshops that I conduct, even when they require me to travel on my own to places beyond American soil. Because of all the international workshops I conduct, the trainees often call me "OPI Missionary," and I consider OPI training as my life mission.
The most recent group I trained in Sept 2012 commented a lot about their own teaching as not being very meaningful in terms of helping students to gain language proficiency throughout the four day workshop. On the final day, one of them commented "this OPI workshop is truly a life altering experience for me!" The rest of the trainees agreed that they became better teachers although they didn't become testers instantly.
Flavia Laviosa
Flavia Laviosa is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Italian Studies and in the Cinema and Media Studies Program at Wellesley College. Her primary expertise is in Foreign Language Education and she trains teachers all over the world. Her teaching methodology is inspired to the Multiple Intelligences Theory. In her teaching she implements inclusive learning of all cognitive styles and needs. She is a certified ACTFL Italian OPI trainer and tester and has extensive experience as teacher trainer. Her principal area of research is Italian cinema and she has published extensively on several contemporary filmmakers. She has edited the volume Visions of Struggle in Women's Filmmaking in the Mediterranean (Palgrave Macmillan 2010) and she is the founder and editor of the Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies, published by Intellect.
Personal Statement
As an ACTFL trainer I value the productive exchange of experiences with colleagues from different institutions, states and nations. The interactive nature of Italian OPI workshops fosters constructive discussions and dynamic evaluations of the ACTFL oral assessment criteria, aims and scopes.
Assessment training has radically changed my way of teaching and evaluating my students of Italian in all kinds of learning settings. ACTFL OPI training has also allowed me to make a significant pedagogical difference in the careers of many teachers who have acquired this skill and have implemented these assessment criteria in their courses.
My senior ACTFL OPI colleagues' plenaries have always been highly inspirational and have contributed to my growth as trainer, tester and instructor. I owe my knowledge and expertise to all of them.
Alice "Ali" Miano
Ali Miano holds a PhD in education from the University of California, Berkeley, and coordinates the Spanish language program at Stanford University, where she has taught Spanish language courses at all levels since 1991. In 1997, she received the Gores Award, Stanford's highest honor in recognition of excellence in teaching. Ali's research efforts have focused on Latino parents' participation in their children's schooling and native language literacy among Spanish speakers in the U.S. In addition, she has conducted research on heritage and second-language learners' acquisition of presentational language, that is, language for academic and professional purposes. She also explores the use of technology in language teaching.
Personal Statement
My first ACTFL OPI training in 1995 brought to life for me the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines. I came away from that 4-day training with renewed confidence in my teaching and a firmer understanding of my role in the classroom. Taking what I'd learned back to the classroom, my ACTFL training allowed me to efficiently assess students' proficiency and calculate next steps, whether for individual students or general curricular planning. In short, the role of ACTFL training in my professional development has been indispensable. As a trainer, I am grateful for the opportunity to share it with others from a variety of language backgrounds.
Chantal Thompson
Chantal Thompson is a native of Brittany, France. She is a teaching professor of French at Brigham Young University in Utah where she is also a coordinator of first-year courses. Chantal is also the founder of the African Studies Program at BYU and has directed 4 study abroad programs in Senegal, West Africa. She has received many awards at the Department, College, and University levels. Chantal has been an ACTFL Certified Tester and Trainer (in French and English) since 1986. Since then, she has also been very involved in revising the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines; she contributed to the 1999 revision of the ACTFL Speaking Guidelines and the 2001 revision of the ACTFL Writing Guidelines. In addition, Chantal has written three French text books, Mais oui!, a first-year program based on higher-order learning, Moments littéraires, an anthology for intermediate courses, and Ensuite, a second-year College text. Chantal is also a national long jump champion of France!
Personal Statement
I have gained so much through my experience working as an ACTFL trainer, but above all, I value the friendships I have developed over the last 26 years with the trainers. Some of them are like family to me. We share so many memories of crazy hotels, wonderful meals, therapeutic laughter (there were times when we were so tired, everything made us laugh!), improvisations when logistical difficulties arose, and most of all, the team spirit.
Assessment training has impacted my career in many ways. The initial OPI workshop I attended in Boston in 1985 and the intense trainers' workshop in Sewickley, PA literally changed my life. I started listening to language and seeing language teaching differently. As the coordinator of first and second year language instruction at BYU, I was able to make radical changes to our programs, and as I became known as an ACTFL trainer and conference presenter, publishers approached me, first McGraw-Hill, then Houghton Mifflin. As the circles of my professional reach kept expanding, I had to keep learning and experimenting. With the support of my Department and of the ACTFL community at large, I created new courses and chartered new paths in my textbook writing. It has been an exciting adventure. I can't imagine any of this happening without my ACTFL training.
As a trainer, I've also had the opportunity to impact the careers of those who I trained. Since I started as a trainer in 1986, I've conducted so many workshops I've lost count – OPI, MOPI, Familiarization, Crossing Borders, etc. Each one was a unique positive experience with people who wanted to learn new ways of seeing language teaching and, thanks to Assessment Training, did. The transformation was palpable, and very rewarding. Several of my trainees have become trainers themselves, or have made a difference in our profession. Each year at ACTFL, I get comments such as "Do you remember me? I took a workshop from you in (year/place.) It changed my life!"
Maureen Weissenrieder
Maureen Weissenrieder, Ph.D, Penn State University, is professor emerita of Modern Languages at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio where she teaches language and language description courses in Spanish. She was trained as an Oral Proficiency tester in the 1980s and has been conducting workshops for the ACTFL OPI since that time. She is the co-author of a first year text book and text book ancillaries and has published articles in Foreign Language Annals, Hispania and the Modern Language Journal. She is interested in Foreign Language pedagogy and testing, as well as language description.
Personal Statement
The most memorable aspect of working for ACTFL as an OPI trainer has been the people I have had the privilege to meet. I continue to learn so much from them. The interviewees are always of interest as they tell us of their rich experiences during the interview. The colleagues who attend the workshops are also always willing to share the innovative ways they apply the OPI and its principles to their institutions, programs and classes. My professional life has been truly enriched by my involvement with ACTFL. I am blessed to be part of this professional family.


text: January 03, 2014 - Islamic authorities in Malaysia on Thursday seized 321 Bibles from a Christian group because they used the word Allah to refer to God, signalling growing intolerance that may inflame ethnic and religious tension in the Southeast Asian country. The raid comes after a Malaysian court in October ruled that the Arabic word was exclusive to Muslims, most of whom are ethnic Malays, the largest ethnic group in the country alongside sizeable Christian, Hindu and Buddhist minorities. That ruling overturned a court decision that allowed a Roman Catholic newspaper printed in Malay, the country's national language, to use Allah. The change has heightened concern that religious authorities, which issue rulings for Muslims and operate alongside civil courts, now have more legal muscle. Analysts say new rulings that affect non-Muslims could be a way of deflecting anger against Prime Minister Najib Razak's government from poor Malay Muslims over subsidy cuts likely to force up electricity, petrol and sugar prices. On Thursday, the top Islamic authority in the richest and most populous state of Selangor seized the Malay-language Bibles from the Bible Society. The society said authority officialsescorted two of its officials to a police station to make statements after which they were released on bail. "We were told that we were under investigation for breaking a Selangor state law banning non-Muslims from using the word Allah," said Bible Society of Malaysia Chairman Lee Min Choon. The raid is a marked escalation from the occasional seizure at border checkpoints of Bibles imported from Indonesia. It was the first time Islamic authorities have entered premises belonging to a Christian organisation to carry out a raid. Christians from Malaysia's rural states of Sabah and Sarawak in Borneo, who have used the word Allah for centuries, have moved in droves to Selangor and other parts of peninsular Malaysia in recent years to look for work.

By Jim Buchta
(MCT)—Dustin Walsh could've bought a house in his 20s, except he saw no point. The 31-year-old had the income, but preferred the financial freedom of renting a room in his cousin's basement. "With my generation, nobody thinks about their debt and nobody thinks about the future," says Walsh, a buyer for an international company.
But with a hearty push from his parents, he bought his first home last week. His tidy townhouse comes with a two-car garage that has enough space to store all of his stuff.
Walsh is just the typical millennial. And like many of those born since the 1980s, he waited a bit to buy a house. The percentage of Americans under age 35 who owned a home fell to 36 percent last year, the lowest level on record.
With millennials representing the largest demographic group in the country, their noncommittal attitude toward everything from jobs to marriage is stifling the housing recovery. Even as millennials — who far outnumber the baby boomers — approach their peak buying years, sales of entry-level houses are falling.
"The millennials will have a huge impact on the housing market," says Jed Kolko, an economist. "Whatever this age group does, whether it's housing or jobs or consumer spending, will have a big effect on the economy."
That's especially true in the Twin Cities, where low home prices and high wages made the region the second-most affordable housing market in the nation last year. More than a quarter of the people who are new to the Twin Cities are 20 to 34 years old.
Ross Gregerson knows the demographic well. The 25-year-old real estate agent has helped five millennials buy their first homes within the past two months. As buyers, they're unusual. They come armed with loads of information gleaned from the Web, and because they're highly social, they care more about the size of their kitchen than their bedrooms. They also are far more discerning than other generations.
"They're picky," he says. "They want a much nicer house than what other generations desire, but it doesn't have to be big. It needs a nice kitchen."
Khalid Khoury, a 25-year-old bank branch manager who's been living in his parents' basement for six months, says a nice kitchen and space for his 65-inch television top his wish list. He's been shopping for a downtown Minneapolis or St. Paul condo, but hasn't had much luck.
"Modern is a look that I'm going for," he says. "And I wouldn't mind a pool."
This isn't his first foray into the housing market. When he was a 20-year-old college student, he bought a five-bedroom house in Duluth that he rented to other millennials. He's now ready to sell that house and use the profits for his next purchase. Many of his friends are delaying homeownership because they're simply not preoccupied with the future.
"I feel like I'm more willing to pull the trigger on spending more for luxuries than my parents," he says. "With the company I keep, on some level, we're more materialistic."

Great article on our future buyers!
Enjoyed article. Have always enjoyed helping first time homebuyers getting happily settled in their first home.
This gives me a better understanding of this generation. Will help me better serve them.
Well written.
Thank you
I heard from a young person that Milleniels will be buying more condos/townhomes until they have a family.
I've also heard some millennial's say they aren't buying until the lender's stop scheming.

text: Add business owner to your resume and work from home. This weekend the Maidu Community Center will host more than 30 companies for the Home Based Business Expo. According to organizers Ralph and Kathy Jesmont, owners of It's Just Your Style event planning, the expo is an opportunity for residents to seek out career opportunities or supplement their incomes. "We call it a BYOB fair," said Ralph Jesmont. "Be your own boss or build your own business, the sky's the limit." Representatives from home-based companies like Avon, Cookie Lee and Max International will be on hand to provide attendees with the information and resources needed to get involved. According to Ralph Jesmont, opportunities are available in both direct selling and marketing to appeal to a broad range of interests. The Jesmonts have held similar events throughout the year in Folsom, Sacramento, Modesto and Walnut Creek. "This is a great opportunity for those who are out of a job or are looking to add an additional income in these difficult times," Ralph Jesmont said. "A lot of people would be surprised to learn that they can own their own business and be their own boss and start adding that income right away." He said the expo is a forum for job seekers to begin exploring options with businesses they would like to start, gather information and gain contacts and resources. Attendees will not need to worry about printing out resumes or impromptu interviews as the expo is not a job fair but a way to begin building a business. "Bring a notepad to take notes and note cards or business cards with your contact information, and an open mind to learn," Ralph Jesmont said. "You have nothing to lose and everything to gain." The Home Based Business Job Expo is free to attend and will be held on Saturday, May 16 from noon-5 p.m. at the Maidu Community Center.
