Subcellular organelles in living cells were inactivated by tightly focusing femtosecond laser pulses inside the cells. Photodisruption of a mitochondrion in living cells was experimentally confirmed by stacking three-dimensional confocal images and by restaining of organelles. The viability of the cells after femtosecond laser irradiation was ascertained by impermeability of propidium iodide as well as by the presence of cytoplasmic streaming.

[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] How to make images with Nextgen Gallery show up on facebook?
Dear Forumers,
This might already have been covered, although I couldn't find a single relevant url dealing with the problem (Due to the fact that everybody has a facebook link on his blogpage :). I'm using nextgen gallery with image rotator on our site: ZOA Latvanyterv . Now when i try to share a post on facebook it just can't pick up an image to create a thumbnail – I assume because it's all embedded in a nice flash envelope. I thought of two ways to fix that.
1. In a singlepost view I would leave out the imagerotator and put all the images below each other as a 660px wide singlepics that would link to the original 1200px image.
2. Try another plugin that sits on top of nextgen gallery plugin (simpleviewer or smooth gallery) – maybe facebook will recognize that one.
I have no idea wether any of the two ways could work or not?
Does anyone know of a workaround for this one?
Thanks in advance,
- The topic '[Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] How to make images with Nextgen Gallery show up on facebook?' is closed to new replies.

Anwar Al Awlaki
September 30, 2011 by staff
Anwar Al Awlaki, Yemen Defense Ministry said Friday that Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical Islamic preacher believed to be a senior member of Al Qaeda's franchise in the region, has been murdered.
Al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen born in New Mexico, has been linked to Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) attempt to blow up a U.S. airliner in Detroit on Christmas Day 2009, and is believed to be a leader.
An Obama administration official tells CBS News senior White House correspondent for the U.S. government has "great confidence" Yemen's report is accurate, and al-Awlaki is dead.
U.S. Officials consider it a most wanted terrorist suspect, adding his name to the list last year to kill or capture – making a rare U.S. addition to what is effectively a U.S. government blacklist.
Federal sued to put a U.S. citizen in the crosshairs of t*rror*sm
Video: Anwar al-Awlaki urges attacks on Americans
In the midst of chaos, al Qaeda suspects escape from Yemen prison
A statement from the foreign press office in Yemen, said the suspected al Qaeda "was attacked and killed 8 km (5 miles) from the city of Khashef in Jawf province, 140 kilometers (80 miles) east of the capital, Sanaa. "
There have been previous reports claiming the death of al-Awlaki, who turned out to be wrong.
Al-Arabiya television quoted local sources say the tribes suspected U.S. drones – Which are known to operate in Yemen – on Friday fired two missiles at a convoy of vehicles believed to be carrying al-Awlaki and his guards.
CBS News reports Khaled Wassef Al-Awlaki who was reported dead after U.S. air strikes in southern Yemen in December 2009 and November 2010. He was also the target of an attack by U.S. drones that killed two members of Al Qaeda in southern Yemen on May 5, 2011.
Wassef reports that Al-Awlaki last appeared in a video posted online in August 2010.
Yemen has increased in recent years to the top of the list of threats to U.S. security officials – with AQAP seen as the most active branch of the global terror network in planning attacks on U.S. soil.
Al-Awlaki is believed to be a prominent member of the group in a major role in planning the actual terrorist plots, in addition to its role as a religious advisor and counselor to other members.
According to reports, met directly with Omar Faruk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian 19-year-old who tried to blow up the flight to Detroit in 2009, when the young man traveled to the formation of Yemen.
Online preaching voluminous al-Awlaki, in both video and print, is also believed to have inspired Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, who was contacted by email with the preacher before carrying out their attack.

Ok, I went on this date with a guy.he called me out of the blue for the first time (he got my number off Facebook, I did not give it to him.I have kind of known he has liked me for some time) and said he would love my company on his birthday, so we spent the entire day together. Before I left he gave me a hug, while rubbing my back. He said that he will call me and I said yeah call me. He said he had fun and we will have to do this again. So, it's been 4 days and I haven't heard from him.does it depend on the guy on when they are going to call you or how long do they usually wait to call? Should I call/text or email him and tell him how much I enjoyed being with him or just wait for him to call? Please help!
Most Helpful Girl
If you already told him that you had a good time before he dropped you off home, then there is no need to remind him again, he already knows!
Also, keep in mind - it's a weekend! Most guys I've dated never really call me on a weekend (especially, Friday's & Saturday's) because they assume I'm busy with other stuff OR, they are busy having fun with their friends. So, if I were I guy I might call you either today or tomorrow.
Wait one week. If he doesn't call you before the 7 day deadline. Then I would text him! But if you do text him DON'T ask him, "why haven't you called?!" That is a big NO! A simple "Hi!" is more than enough!
Good luck! ;)00|00|0

Before you decide to quit smoking, you should prepare yourself for a long process. There are few ways to do just that.
• Determine the day when you will stop and mark it on the calendar. Most people draw a circle. It's important to give yourself some time.
• Most people start on a Monday. People, who quit smoking, will want to have a routine; so they can occupy their time with work.
• You can do some research about different quitting smoking options. About 80% of smokers who quit do so without being in a program. Sadly, 95% of these self-reliant quitters will fail and go back to smoking within 12 months.
• Nicotine Anonymous. It's a 12-step program that is beneficial and the meetings are free. You can either search online or check your local phonebook. There's a local chapter near you.
• The gum.
• The patch.
• You need to determine what's best for you.
• Tell your family and friends that you're going to quit smoking. Hopefully, they will be supportive for you.
You need to remember that it's hard to break a habit. You've smoked for many years, so it's not going to be easy. There are many obstacles that you will have to endure before you succeed.
• Fear of failure.
• Each year, millions of people will try to quit smoking. Sadly, less than 10% will succeed on their first try.
• Concerns about weight gain
• Most studies have shown: over a two-year period after quitting, successful quitters gain an average of five pounds.
• Smokers often smoke instead of eating therefore consuming less food.
• However, giving up smoking is more beneficial and you can always lose those extra pounds with a diet plan.
• Concerns about stress.
• Studies suggest nicotine is actually helpful in improving moods and decreasing negative feelings.
• However, it's not sure why that is
• Concerns about nicotine withdrawal.
• There will be hard cravings after you quit smoking.
• You may also be irritable, anxious, depressed or angry.
• These withdrawal symptoms don't last too long. Most diminish within two week.
• Concerns about your age.
• You may think you're too old to quit.
• However, quitting smoking reduces chances of heart disease and stroke.
After you finally decide you want to quit smoking, you need to remember that it's going to be difficult for a few days or weeks. There's no magic pill you can swallow. You need to do the footwork. It is going to take some courage, resolve and more importantly the willpower to quit smoking.
You shouldn't ask yourself if this program works for you. Instead, ask yourself are you willing to do the work? Most importantly, tell yourself that you can do it! And you will.

They are drilled from the top, where the seed was attached to the tree, to the bottom. The bead is also threaded the same way in the mala to maintain the prana, or energy.
The vibration, or power, of each bead is also checked before being used in the malas. Some beads can have higher vibration than others.
Rudraksha can have up to 21 mukhis, also known as clefts or furrows. All of our rudraksha seeds have five mukhis, which is known to symbolize Lord Shiva. They are the most commonly sought after seed. The seeds have a very long life and have been said to last up to eight generations.
Rudraksha seeds vary in size, from 3 mm to 40 mm, with the smaller beads being the rarest.
Healing with Rudraksha
Medicinally, rudraksha seeds are known to heal mind and body ailments, reduce heart disease, and lower blood pressure.
They are also believed to increase clarity and general awareness, calm the central nervous system, help quiet the mind, and free negative thought.
In addition, they are said to be cooling when worn against the skin, and increase energy and stamina while providing rejuvenating qualities.
Rudraksha mala beads can help deepen your meditation practice, guide you in daily life, and are always a constant reminder of the divinity that is with in you.
We believe that anyone can benefit from wearing rudraksha malas. Find your perfect mala at www.malacollective.com.

I was recently working with a client who, after a long, scary dry spell with no job offers at all (not even possibilities), found himself in the enviable position of having TWO good offers at the same time. But how should he decide which job would be the best for him? Each job had pluses and minuses. Each one offered interesting challenges.
It's pretty easy if money is your one and only criteria for whether to accept a job — you just let the highest bidder win you. But for most of us, the right job is a mix of things that are not always easy to quantify or weigh against each other. To help you with your decision, here are some things to consider …
Weighing the pros and cons of each job offer
How do you measure the long-term affect on your career of any one particular job? What about things like room for growth or opportunities to take on new challenges beyond the ones being directly presented by this particular job? How about company policies or management style or the people you're working with that can all affect how well you succeed?
Then there are the very real but easy-to-overlook things like what it will be like working there on a daily basis. Commute time. Work environment, including the way the office / cubicle / desk will feel. Is there opportunity to take lunch or get out of the office once in a while to clear your head? Is your boss a micro-manager? Are your colleagues people you want to spend 40+ hours a week with?
You need to make a list of the kinds of things that you'd like to have and those things that would drive you crazy after some time – or at least start to eat at you. Also, is there something about the job raising concerns that you can't quite put into words? Similarly, is there something pulling you more to one than the other? Add that to your list too. Now compare each job to your list.
The "x factor" in making your job choice
After lots of consideration, my client was ready to present his thoughts and feelings to me about each job. On paper, one job seemed to be winning over the other. It had fewer potential downsides, offered a more-developed organizational structure with built-in support, and a more pleasant work environment including actual lunch hours.
But here's the "x factor": as we talked about them both, I felt my client drawn more to the one that did not look best on paper. It was risky, but the upside was huge and he got to work with someone he greatly admires – despite also knowing he was an incredibly demanding boss. But since his long-term goals were about becoming an entrepreneur like the boss in question and since he is a bit of a risk taker himself, he went to the "not as good on paper" job, negotiated a salary with the risk built in, took a deep breath, and said YES.
While the job is indeed incredibly demanding and his days have little time anyway for things like lunches out of the office, he is loving it. The challenge. The opportunities. The things he's learning. Great colleagues with similar drive. He's very happy he made this choice over the one that seemed more pleasant in some ways, but would have soon felt too small for him.
In the end it's about truly knowing yourself
Of course, someone else might have been happier with the opposite choice. In fact, a less entrepreneurial person with different long-term goals could be very happy in the job my client turned down – and hate the one he took.
So while it's natural (and recommended) to get caught up in evaluating the jobs individually and all they might offer, the best career decisions begin by first looking inside and figuring out what you truly want – and the kinds of things that can really, deep-inside make or break a job for you!

Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright confirms that a partnership with their Merseyside rivals is still possible but there prefers sole tenancy of a site close to Goodison Park
Both clubs are making plans to leave their current homes, with the Toffees in dialogue with Liverpool City Council over possible options.
|Everton are 16/1 with William Hill to win the Capital One Cup
"We've had a couple of meetings with Liverpool and the Council but it is not moving forward at the moment," the Everton chief replied when asked about a possible ground-share by an attendee of Wednesday night's General Meeting of club shareholders.
"I agree with you on the obvious advantages it would bring. We have identified a site close to Goodison and we have a council at the moment who are extremely positive in their desire to help us.
"If we take forward what we're looking at now, I think you would be happier than sharing with the Reds."
Kenwright revealed that there are "two or three" potential sites but that moving to any of them would depend on funding.

Cake Mix Christmas Cookies
Recipe by Rita1652
This is quick and easy! Chilling makes handling these easier. Option for a lemon glazed cookie--all you have to do is in place of the water use the frozen lemon concentrate for a real tart cookie and/or use lemon cake mix. Then mix a bunch of powdered sugar with the frozen lemon contentrate thats at room temperature for a nice tart icing! Pictures uploaded here on Nov 27 using carrot cake mix, 1/4 cup coconut, 1/4 cup chopped nuts then sprinkled with cinnamon sugar before and after baking. Dec 10 used chocolate cake mix and chocolate mint chips.
Top Review by Denise Nachtigal
OH YUMMY! This was so easy to make! When my daughters friend came over, and they started arguing about whether they should play inside or outside, I suggested making these cookies and that settled the argument right away. :) We used devil's food chocolate cake mix, and put dried cranberries in them. I did chill the dough in the freezer for about 15 minutes and had the girls roll out the balls and roll them in the powdered sugar. It was also nice because they were actually able to help me put the ingredients in and everything. (They're both 6 years old) I was a little worried they wouldn't like them with the cranberries, but they loved them. Thank you for this oh so simple and fantastic recipe! Also wanted to mention that after mixing all the ingredients, the dough was VERY thick. I thought something was wrong at first, but they turned out great, so I suppose it was supposed to be like that. :)

"A mixed experience"
About: Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital Norwich NR4 7UY
Posted by Anonymous
What I liked
I was admitted and needed a section due to complications at 39 weeks. Care on Delivery Suite and Cley very good, staff lovely and efficient.
Community Midwives excellent and in particular my own named MW whom I saw everytime from 20 weeks inclucding home visits which were never no trouble.
What could be improved
Care post natally was terrible on Blakeney following section. I was left panicking and completely numb after being taken to the ward at 12.30-my partner was made to leave and I was numb feeling completely helpless, disorientated, baby on chest and left alone most of the time.
Meds were a complete joke-I had to ask everytime for my prescription meds and one day they only gave me 1 antibiotic out of 4 and no pain relief.
I felt most of the time staff were too busy and stretched to really take a interest and at times were condescending and I am a 2nd time Mum. Best help were student midwives who are a credit to UEA.
Anything else?
Very mixed experience-Shame 4 years ago it was a very good experience.

As reputable journalists continue to throw names at the chalkboard that is Liverpool FC's transfer rumours, it appears that one name has stuck.
Sadio Mane.
Indeed, as the days and weeks go by it seems more and more likely that Liverpool really are interested in yet another Southampton player, with the winger admired greatly by Reds boss Jürgen Klopp.
The reports are shy of stating that Liverpool have launched a bid, but after the signing's of Nathaniel Clyne, Dejan Lovren, Rickie Lambert and Adam Lallana in recent years, you'd be forgiven for thinking that Ian Ayre has got the number on speed-dial.
Especially given that there's potential for unrest amongst players on the South Coast at the moment, following the recent departure of manager Ronald Koeman, to a side that Liverpool know all too well, Everton.
Klopp has been on record in the past as saying that his squad lack pace, stating on other occasions, in one word or another, that he'd be interested in signing a winger this summer.
So, all things considered, a potential deal looks likely. But is it the right one for Liverpool?
Well, he is a good player, sometimes...
It can't be argued that Mane is a very good footballer. And on his day, at his best, an exceptional one. When hitting top form, he's hardworking, quick, skillfull and a superb finisher.
For a perfect example you only have to go back a couple of months, when he bagged a hat-trick against Manchester City, completely tearing apart Manuel Pellegrini's side as Southampton won 4-2. He doesn't only do it against the top teams either, with his most recent hat-trick prior to that being in the 6-1 demolition of Aston Villa a season prior.
He gets goals from wide areas, something which Liverpool have craved in recent seasons, with talented attacking midfielder's such as Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino thriving more in central roles.
How many goals, you ask? 15 for Southampton in all competition this season, at an average of one every 207.6 minutes. So, just under a goal every two games. Seems ideal for a winger, doesn't it?
Add that to the fact he'd be playing with better players and under a better manager if he moved to Merseyside, it'd be hard to argue that a move for Mane doesn't make sense...
Well, actually it wouldn't.
Inconsistency, price-tag, mentality...
As good a player as Mane is on his day, casual research will show you that it isn't his day all that often. Klopp will undoubtedly have been impressed with the Senegalese international last season, as he scored a late equaliser at Anfield before bagging twice in Southampton's remarkable comeback at St Mary's.
So, what's the problem? Well, Mane didn't score a single league goal inbetween those games. His inconsistency is a major issue, one that could well put Liverpool off signing him. The only goal he managed in that time period came in the League Cup, against Liverpool. In quantative terms, his goalless run in the league lasted 18 games.
Finishing the season with 11 league goals looks impressive, but not so much when you see that eight of those goals came in the last eight games.
When spending upwards of £30million on a player, you're expecting consistent quality, not stat padding.
Yes, upwards of £30million. Reports contrast eachother, and a potential fee for Mane goes from around £25million to £40million, but the general consensus is that Southampton will demand at least 30 for their star, determined to prevent Liverpool from poaching another prized asset.
That could be enough to see the Reds depart from the deal, due to a number of suitable alternatives out there that could come at a cheaper price. Perhaps they've already got one signed up, if Klopp can revive the forgotten Lazar Markovic.
Price tag and inconsistency, I haven't yet mentioned mentality. Indeed, that could be a stumbling block. Some have cited Mane as difficult to work with, but many players often are, especially when they're striving for a move to a 'bigger' club, but Mane isn't only a dressing room liability, but one on the field too.
He picked up two red cards during his goalless run last season, indicating that when the going gets tough, Mane gets going. During the last four season's he's picked up 26 yellow cards and six red cards, something that isn't natural for a player of his stature and position.
So, it's probably a no to Mane?
A well known English pop singer once sang that it's not about the money, money, money, but it probably is for Mane and Liverpool.
Whilst his talent is undeniable, the risks that come with his signature are there for everyone to see, and in a summer where Liverpool need to get it right, they could do worse than to look elsewhere for a goalscoring winger.

|Testing Devices That Involve the Sense of Touch in Subjects With Traumatic Brain Injury
|Official Title ICMJE
|Testing Subjects With Traumatic Brain Injury Using Haptic Technology
|Brief Summary
- Previous studies have shown that computer-based devices that simulate everyday tasks can be helpful for evaluation and rehabilitation in people who have had strokes. Researchers are interested in studying whether similar devices can be used to evaluate and treat individuals who have had a traumatic brain injury, to determine if the device should be developed to help with rehabilitation in the future.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of a computer-based simulation compared with actual performance of actions in individuals who have had a traumatic brain injury.
- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have had a non-penetrating mild or moderate traumatic head injury within the past year and have experience playing computer games.
|Detailed Description
Adults who have suffered traumatic brain injury are people who have a wide variety of signs and symptoms. These often include problems with motor planning and learning, memory, cognitive performance and behavior. The physical findings and self reports of symptoms are heterogeneous, and do not always correlate with anatomic findings. Evaluation and measurement of function in this population, and treatment of functional deficits are being developed so that treatments can be specifically targeted toward functional recovery. Additionally, evaluation and treatment usually relies heavily on labor intensive interventions. This study will assess the feasibility of using haptic devices that interface the user via touch using force as feedback in subjects with a TBI. Haptic devices are similar to joysticks. The specific haptic device we are using in this project is a stylus, shaped like a pen with which the subject navigates virtual space moving a cursor on a computer screen. The project aims to obtain pilot data in relation to how an individual with TBI performs measuring their engagement and interaction with the haptic, which is programmed to simulate functional activity and cognitive tasks, and whether the haptic devices can reliably be used for data capture.
Study Population
Seventy adult subjects with a clinical diagnosis of a non-penetrating TBI will be enrolled. Subjects will need to be at least 1 year from date of initial brain injury. Subjects will be recruited from NIH, affiliated hospitals/clinics, and in the community.
This is a prospective cohort study of subjects with a clinical diagnosis of a non-penetrating traumatic brain injury. Subjects will be recruited and assessed at the National Institutes of Health. Data will be shared and stored at NIH. Subjects will be stratified according to findings into cohorts for comparison. Subjects will not be treated with experimental therapies as part of the research study.
The role of multimodal visuo-sensory motor input learning using haptic devices will be explored in this project. Virtual reality has been applied to both the evaluation and treatment of persons with TBI. The application of simulated environments has helped engage patients in therapeutic activities and also has provided real life situations that call for integration of sensory, cognitive and motor activities Haptic and robotic devices, which provide sensory and force input to assist in human movement, have been used to help in neurorecovery.
Each subject will have only one test session and there will be no further follow-up appointments. The haptic session is designed to take no more than 1 hour. However, it may take longer for some to complete the battery of tests. It may take up to four hours to complete the NIH processes such as admissions, the history and physical, and the haptic session.
Outcome Measures
Performance on haptic tasks will be assessed for time to completion, distance of trajectories and frequency of repeated trajectories.

PARIS — Might be easier said than done. Still, Maria Sharapova offered a tidy aphorism to sum up the formula that's carried her to a third consecutive French Open final.
"It's not how you finish a first set," Sharapova said, "it's how you finish the last set."
Right now, no one is a better closer than she is on clay. Nearing a second championship at Roland Garros, and fifth Grand Slam trophy overall, Sharapova gritted her way to yet another comeback victory, beating 18th-seeded Eugenie Bouchard 4-6, 7-5, 6-2 in the semifinals Thursday.
"If some things are not working out, I don't just want to quit in the middle. Because when you lose the first set or a few games or you're down a break, that's not the end of the match," Sharapova said. "That's the type of philosophy that I play with."
She famously described herself years ago as feeling like a "cow on ice" on clay, but Sharapova now has won her past 19 matches that went to three sets on the demanding surface.
In Saturday's final, the No. 7-seeded Sharapova will face No. 4 Simona Halep, a 22-year-old who never before had been past the quarterfinals at a major.
Halep turned in a much more straightforward victory than Sharapova, eliminating No. 28 Andrea Petkovic 6-2, 7-6 (4).
"I have a lot of confidence in myself now," said Halep, who a year ago was ranked only 57th and lost in the first round in Paris for the third time since 2010. "I played really well here; a few good matches. But next round will be very tough. I know Maria. She's a great champion."
Halep has claimed seven titles since the start of last season – "Impressive 12 months," she called it – and used her smooth movement and smart angles to win all 12 sets she's played these two weeks.
Sharapova took a more difficult route to her ninth Grand Slam final.
In the fourth round against 2011 U.S. Open champion Samantha Stosur, Sharapova trailed 6-3, 4-3, then won the last nine games.
In the quarterfinals against 20-year-old Garbine Muguruza, the woman who stunned Serena Williams last week, Sharapova trailed 6-1, 5-4, then won nine of the last 10 games.
That pattern continued against another 20-year-old, Bouchard.
After dropping the first set, then standing two games from defeat at 5-all in the second, Sharapova won eight of the last 10 games.
She did it by playing aggressively in crunch time, risking more but also coming through more.
The 27-year-old Sharapova already owns a career Grand Slam, with titles at Wimbledon in 2004, the U.S. Open in 2006, the Australian Open in 2008, and the French Open two years ago. And for someone who used to have a hard time on clay, she is 53-4 with six titles on it since the start of 2012; three of those losses came against Williams, including in the 2013 French Open final.
Sharapova put aside various problems she had Thursday, including nine double-faults, two that wasted set points at 5-3 in the second. She showed terrific defense and court coverage when it counted most, forcing Bouchard to hit extra shots.
Most important, at 2-1 in both the second and third sets, Bouchard raced to 40-love leads on her serve, only to have Sharapova steel herself and wind up breaking.
"I didn't feel that I was playing my best," Sharapova said. "I fought, I scrambled, and I found a way to win."

Hello. (= I'm writing a paper for extra credit in Spanish class, and I was wondering: What would you consider three good reasons for learning Spanish?
Personal enrichment and better employment opportunities come to mind right off the bat. It might also help you get into college.
Thanks. (=
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. If this will copy, this is something I used with my students:
Research shows that students who study foreign languages........
• develop greater cultural sensitivity toward others
• have larger vocabularies
• perform better on tests of reading and math
• have higher developed listening and retention skills
• are more creative
• display more highly developed thinking skills
• possess skills critical to the national defense
• will be better prepared to contribute to the ability of local, state, and national economies to compete in the global economy
Give Yourself A Competitive Edge
Did you know that studying a second language can improve your skills and grades in math and English and can improve your entrance exam scores - SATs, ACTs, GREs, MCAT's and LSATs?
Research has shown that math and verbal SAT scores climb higher with
each additional year of foreign language study, which means that the longer you study a foreign language the stronger your skills become to succeed in school. Studying a foreign language can improve your analytic and interpretive capacities. And four years of language study on your record will catch the eye of anyone reading your job or college application.
The Job Advantage In A Global Economy
More and more businesses work closely with companies in other countries.
They need many different kinds of workers who can communicate in different languages and understand other cultures. No matter what career you choose, if you've learned a second language, you'll have a real advantage. A technician who knows German, the head of a company who knows Spanish, or a salesperson who knows French can work successfully with many more places than someone who knows only one language.
There are lots of Americans who speak languages other than English.
If you've ever thought of being a nurse, doctor, a police officer, a judge, an architect, a businessperson, a singer, or a Web master, you will multiply your chances if you speak more than one language. Anyone who knows English and Spanish will look much better at promotion time than one who knows only English. Professionals who know other languages are called on to travel and exchange information with people in other countries throughout their careers. Knowing more than one language enhances opportunities in government, business, medicine, health care, law enforcement, teaching, technology, the military, communications, industry, social service, and marketing. An employer will see you as a bridge to new clients or customers if you know a second language.
What Can You Expect?
You will learn a second language in exciting new ways using technology and focusing on communication. Learning a language is not just learning grammar and vocabulary. It is learning new sounds, expressions, and ways of seeing things; it is learning how to function in another culture, how to know a new community from the inside out.
Course Decision Making
Choose Español Because:
Literally every major city in the USA has a growing number of Hispanics. Southern California has a strong Spanish heritage. One of the major literatures of the world is Spanish. Spanish is probably the easiest language to speak, because of the many chances to practice the language in this area. It is also the official language in 21 countries. It is one of the languages most used in international communication. Spanish is the third most used official diplomatic, economic and cultural language worldwide. Spanish is the mother-tongue of more than 350 million people worldwide. It is the most studied language in Canada and the U.S. Worldwide economic growth in Latin American countries and individual businesses will become powerful, economic partners and true sources of growth opportunities in the world. level.
Choose Francais Because:
French is internationally known as the diplomatic language. Academic and scientific research is often conducted and published in French. French is spoken on every continent of the world except (Antarctica) and much of English vocabulary is French based. One of the major literatures of the world is French.
Choose Latin Because:
It is the basis of the "Romance Languages." It helps one get in touch with proper English grammar.
High School Graduation
California State University Admission
University of California Admission
Two years of a Foreign/Classical language.
Once you make a language choice you must stay with that language for at least two years.
Two years of a Foreign/Classical language.
Three is recommended.
Two years of a Foreign/Classical language.
Three years recommended and four years advisable for UC Berkeley and UCLA.
P.S. Well, I'll shorten it because it was 4 pages!
Research shows that students who study foreign languages:
develop greater cultural sensitivity toward others
have larger vocabularies
perform better on tests of reading and math
have higher developed listening and retention skills
are more creative
display more highly developed thinking skills

will be better prepared to contribute to the ability of local, state, and national economies to compete in the global economy.
Also, it will give you a competitive edge, improving your skills and grades in math and English, thus imporving y our entrance exam scores on SAT's, ACT's, GRE's, MCAT's and LSAT's.
We live in a global sociwety so you might have the opportunity to live and work in another country. Here are some careers where it is helpful to speak another language: nurse, doctor, policwe officer, judge, architect, businessperson, singer, Web Master.
Choose Spanish because literally every major city in the USA has a growing number of Hispanics. It is the official language in 21 countries and the third most used official diplomatic, economic, cultural language worldwide. lus, it is probably the easiest lanugage to speak and has one of the major literatures of the world.
Studying any foreign language will help you understand your native language better. You simply have to understand grammar to be proficient!
In short better jobs, better colleges, and more cultured life.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is the company's recently unveiled AMOLED display offering, making it one of the best looking tablets in the market today. And if you've been wanting to get one of these babies for yourself, you'll be pleased to know that Amazon is offering a sweet deal on the 16GB model in white with the price waived off by almost $54, bringing it down to just $446.40. The black model of the tablet is still retailing for $500, so this deal is only applicable on this particular color variant.
The model listed on Amazon comes with the Exynos 5 octa core chipset and not Snapdragon 800, so there's no LTE support on board. But if you're willing to look over that, the Galaxy Tab S 10.5 is still a pretty good tablet. It is packing a 10.5 inch 2560 x 1600 resolution display, an 8-megapixel camera on the back, 3GB of RAM, a microSD card slot for storage expansion and of course Android 4.4.2 with the latest iteration of TouchWiz on top. The tablet also borrows the fingerprint scanner from the Galaxy S5, so it's a feature packed offering.
Deals like these usually don't tend to last long, so make sure you hurry if you're in the market for a large sized tablet with a gorgeous display.

I have the exact same issue as in this post:
However Im not quite sure if I understand the answer from Michael France correctly by when he states:
I fixed the problem. The POP3 and SMTP certificates must be installed. Seems that even though ssl is unchecked the smtp portion needs to have a valid cert installed to do a starttls session
We dont actually use POP3
We also have SSL selected as we use OWA.
Our exact error is:
Event ID: 7010
Source: MSExchangeTransport
This is an SMTP protocol log for virtual server ID 1, connection #44. The client at "xxx.xxx.xx.xx" sent a "starttls" command, and the SMTP server responded with "554 5.7.3 Unable to initialize security subsystem ". The full command sent was "starttls". This will probably cause the connection to fail.

Try removing the check mark from "Requires authentication" if one exists.

Hi Roy691,
I'd like to take a look at your log files. Can you please run the Spiceworks_Package.exe, located in the C:\Program Files\Spiceworks directory. This program will zip up your log files into a file called 'spiceworks_package.zip'. Please email me that file to firstname.lastname@example.com referencing this thread. Thanks!

I am having this issue too. I didn't look in the event viewer, I looked at the SMTP logs, everytime I see the SW server connecting to SMTP I see following: <>
2008-06-12 20:55:05 x.x.x.x - SMTPSVC1 SERVER x.x.x.x 0 EHLO 0 SMTP - - -2008-06-12 20:55:05 x.x.x.x - SMTPSVC1 SERVER x.x.x.x 0 STARTTLS 0 SMTP - - 2008-06-12 20:55:05 x.x.x.x - SMTPSVC1 SERVER x.x.x.x 0 STARTTLS 0 SMTP - - 2008-06-12 20:55:05 x.x.x.x - SMTPSVC1 SERVER x.x.x.x 0 QUIT 0 SMTP - - - -
I started looking becuase everytime I try to setup outgoing mail, it tells me that the Sending email from SMTP server failed. An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine. So I telneted in to the SMTP Server and tried this starttls command two times, after the secondtry, the SMTP server responds:
<>554 5.7.3 Unable to initialize security subsystem <>Then disconnects me. I have tried using the "Exchange" Protocol for mail to and that says that it is successful and a message has been sent. I never receive the message and when I send a message to the helpdesk email account, it never is turned into a ticket. As I understand it that is supposed to be possible.
Oct 17, 2008 at 6:46 UTC
I too have been getting the error on my virtual SMTP. I have sent my log files in as well.
This is an SMTP protocol log for virtual server ID 1, connection #94. The client at "192.168.17.2" sent a "starttls" command, and the SMTP server responded with "554 5.7.3 Unable to initialize security subsystem ". The full command sent was "starttls". This will probably cause the connection to fail.

I'm not sure, but I think TLS means it is trying a SNMP V3 connection, and we don't support this yet. We connect to SNMP devices with the version 1 protocol which is typically compatible with the version 2c protocol.
This specification says that V3 can be set up to be compatible with V2c and V1 - http:/
Can you check out the device's SNMP configuration and see if supporting the V1 protocol is a possibility for you?
Oct 20, 2008 at 5:33 UTC
Hi folks, for one of these cases TLS (Transport Layer Security) was enabled on SMTP. In Spiceworks we can choose to disable this check when we attempt to save your Outgoing configuration:
Open Spiceworks and browse to the Settings → Advanced Options page.
Click the Looking for additional settings? link at the bottom of the page.
Find the SMTP TLS support and set the value to disabled.
Restart Spiceworks via the Spiceworks SysTray icon. Note: you must not skip this step.
Browse to the Settings → Email page and try setting up your e-mail settings again.Please let me know if you encounter any issues with this!

Thousands of runners finish final mile of Boston Marathon
Dominick Reuter | Reuters
Runners holding American flags and a Chinese flag cross the finish line after completing the final mile of the Boston Marathon course during One Run in Boston on Saturday. The event was organized to give athletes and spectators an opportunity to complete the final mile of the Marathon that was cut short when two bombs exploded at the finish line on April 15.
Posted May 25, 2013, at 2:59 p.m.
More than 2,000 runners finished the Boston Marathon on Saturday, more than a month after the race was cut short because of the April 15 bombings.
During the One Run event, runners completed the final mile of the race in honor of the three people killed and the 260 injured in the terrorist attack.
The event started with the playing of the national anthem sung by the St. Ann Parish choir, the church where 8-year-old victim Martin Richard's family belonged.

Top 2012 Social Media Updates
2012 was a year of constant updates from all the social networks, several which have major impacts on how we advertise. As a marketer, it's important for to continue to keep up-to-date with all of the major changes going on, as well as use the updates to help us sell more product, increase brand awareness, and ultimately reach our established goals. We've attempted to capture six of the hardest hitting, revenue impacting updates across many of the social networks this year. As a digital marketer, it's imperative to remain on your toes and as agile as possible within these rapid changing technological times.
1. Mobile Only Facebook Ads
For the first time, marketers can pay for advertising directly on the Facebook Mobile App instead of just the desktop alone. These come in the form of sponsored stories, and we have included a screenshot to show you exactly what to look for. Another nice feature here is the social proof element, or number of people that are using this. This new type of advertising also allows us to compare which platform is more effective as far as conversions, something that marketers were not able to do in the past. Previously the same ad was generated to users on a desktop or mobile device, without clear delineation on performance for each one.
2. Twitter Cover Photos
There are still a tremendous amount of people who use twitter.com, even with the multitude of Twitter tools out there. Twitter profiles now have the ability to have a cover photo (much like that of Facebook) in order to promote a user or business. Users' eyes will immediately go toward the larger image, which also promotes the name and bio, something that was far less visible with the old profiles.
3. New Linkedin Company Pages
Linkedin has produced many updates in 2012, most of which are great improvements from previous versions. One that stands out the most to us is the new Linkedin company pages. Previously, it seemed that all Linkedin pages looked the same, with the exception of a logo here and company information across the top left area. With the new update, products, services and company information are much more prominent. The new layout was also redesigned to showcase recommendations, which everyone always wants to see.
4. Google+ Hangouts on Air
A magical event, Google+ Hangouts on air allows you to virtually hangout with 9 other people while being able to broadcast to a much larger audience. While you are hanging out in a discussion, event, panel or whatever it may be, Google broadcasts this to the world, and when you are done, it uploads the video to YouTube. Press conferences, free concerts, or direct interviews with thought leaders have proven to be of great value to the Google+ user community.
5. Google Places Becomes Google+ Local
Earlier this year, Google decided to decommission Google Places and put all its existing efforts into Google+ Local. If you are you already using Google+, this will make life much easier. For users not using Google+, it's a great way to encourage people to start using it. It's a win/win for Google either way; one main reason they moved in this direction.
6. Pinterest Brand Pages
One of the hottest areas of social media right now is Pinterest. More importantly, businesses are scrambling to figure out how to use Pinterest and tap into the millions of people currently using the social network. With the release of brand pages on Pinterest, there is no shortage of great examples of brands using Pinterest to increase community engagement. Next up for Pinterest? Most marketers want to see some form of analytics about users on their boards. Stay tuned for many more updates in 2013 from Pinterest.

I teach a multi-age 1st and 2nd grade class. I have looked at first grade units from other sellers and feel they are too easy for my second graders, which makes TONS of extra work for me. Do you feel that this unit would benefit first graders also? I would rather teach to a higher standards, than to lower my standards for the second graders.

I am a 3rd year teacher and also a first year second grade dual language teacher and I'm struggling with scheduling and feeling like I'm rushed. Do you have any tips you can share? Our DL program involves myself and another teacher (Spanish). How often do you plan together? I love all your projects and even joke with my co-workers that are familiar with your blog and say "I want to be like Mrs. Lemon's when I grow up!" Any words of wisdom you can share would be great appreciated!
Keep up the great work!

I have a 120 minute block for ELA and I usually spend around 30-45 min on the book of the week and go over any activity ie: comprehension, grammar,writing. Then I usually break into my guided reading time in which I give the comprehension/grammar, writing as part of my Daily 5 rotations the last 30 minutes we spend doing writing together and independently. So far its been working great!! I LOVE how all the components are being used and my kiddos are able to transfer what they are learning into different stories!!!

I especially like the fact that there are grammar activities which is sometimes so hard to find time to fit in and they are more relevant because the link to what we are reading in class.

I only have 20-30 minutes but I make your units work.

This is a wonderful way to open children's minds to deeper reading and connection to the text! As they go on through their elementary years, it's equally important to teach them to love to read. We see so many young readers get to the end of third grade and decide, "Well, I've figured out this reading thing. I know how to read these words. I'm done! Don't need to read anymore and don't want to read anymore."
Trouble is...they begin to associate reading with all of the tasks we give them... close reading, writing sentences, finding the main idea...and somewhere along the way they lose the idea we take for granted. That idea is that reading is amazing and fun!
It's so important to let children simply read a story that they choose. No sentences. No discussion. Just read it because it's fun. Then, hopefully they'll hold onto the idea that reading is not just a subject at school. Reading is something they ARE...they are READERS.
Sometimes I think we get so deeply invested in teaching the HOW to read that we lose the JOY of reading.
Thank you for all you do to create readers...to give them a love of reading....to teach them to read well...these are great roots..they need some reading wings as well!
Barb Langridge, Children's Librarian and founder of abookandahug.com (because every child deserves a book and a hug)

I've enjoyed watching this product come together! I've never been a textbook user either. My team (1st grade) and I have been working on something similar this year...it's just not all "put together" yet. I'm excited to streamline it this summer for next year. Congrats to both of you on your success! I'm excited to see so many teachers interested in teaching reading this way...fun, but rigorous, and accessible to all students! Great work!

My students are loving these units! I have never liked to teach from textbook but have been required to. This year I asked my principal if I could do something different and she said as long as my students could pass the required weekly test she didn't care. I used your October and November units and just add the skills the reading series was teaching that week too. Will you being doing units for the rest of the year? I hope so, I can't wait to purchase and use them. Thanks helping me love to teach reading again!

I would also love to hear about your guided reading groups! I am also curious how you structure discussions. Do you call on students to share who raise their hand? Do you do more of a think/pair/share? How do you make sure all students are engaged during the discussion time? Thanks!

3 more questions/comments: Can you explain your seperate guided reading time? Since you do this for an hour, how long do you do Guided Reading, what does that look like? What are the other children doing during guided reading?
2. I love these units and have purchased all so far. I see that you make connections with other texts. I would love to have a list of the other texts you make connections with.
3. Do you do one story a week, do you just finish up one (however long it takes) and then start a new one?

Is 60 minutes all you have for reading or do you also have a time where you can meet with students in small groups or do individual reading conferences? Thanks!
