World's best vaccine against hepatitis B
An Israeli company offers the most effective solution against a virus that affects at least two billion people across the world.
SciVac's Rehovot headquarters offers production services to other Israeli pharma startups
By Avigayil Kadesh
Since 1982, developing countries have been vaccinating newborns against the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Yet this leading cause of life-threatening liver infection remains a major global health problem directly affecting some two billion people and many more as silent carriers.
Why? Solving this riddle is what enabled the scientists at Israel's SciVac to pioneer the world's only commercially available third-generation vaccine against the virus that causes 1.2 million deaths every year.
SciVac CEO Michal Ben-Attar explains that Sci-B-Vac is the most effective and cost-efficient solution to combating HBV anywhere, and is especially needed in Africa where the rates of infection are high.
Almost every newborn in Israel already receives this cutting-edge inoculation on the day of birth, and the formula is registered for use also in Hong Kong, the Philippines, India, Vietnam, Georgia and Central Africa, with approvals in the United States and other countries expected in the near future.
Ben-Attar is eager to partner with a major pharmaceutical company so the company can offer the same unprecedented protection to infants in other countries.
Close to nature
Sci-B-Vac was based on advanced biotechnology to eliminate the problems inherent in first-generation and second-generation HBV vaccines, she explains.
"The point of biotechnology is to simulate natural processes as closely as possible," she says.
"Other vaccines, like for smallpox and polio, were so effective that after decades of use, the diseases virtually vanished. But hepatitis B, after 30 years, is still found all over the world in large percentages. We understand the reason and therefore developed the third-generation vaccine."
The first generation of HBV vaccines used an isolated form of the virus from infected people. The health risks involved made this solution unappealing from the start, and already in 1992 scientists began working on a second-generation vaccine using a yeast-derived, genetically engineered version of the virus's main protein.
"They hoped the antibody made in response to this protein would be enough to stop the infection, but actually it's not effective enough," says Ben-Attar. People with a variety of health conditions, from gluten intolerance to diabetes, do not respond to the vaccine.
About 15 years ago, two physicians from the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot attended an international conference of HBV researchers. They came away determined to find a way to produce a vaccine made of recombinant proteins mimicking the three that make up the native virus.
A year later, the Israeli doctors presented their solution: an HBV lookalike that is actually a hollow envelope containing three proteins derived from mammal cells. When it is injected, the body produces protective antibodies against all three of these proteins, offering unprecedented effectiveness.
Safe and effective
Ben-Attar says that only purified proteins made from a line of mammalian cells (in this case, hamsters) are similar enough to the human native virus. They were successfully tested for safety in 5,000 people.
In addition, a recent study at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem looked at the effectiveness of Sci-B-Vac in newborns infected with the virus from their mothers. It takes 60 days for the disease to develop, and the vaccine halted the progression in every case.
Among the general newborn populations, the use of Sci-B-Vac has significantly reduced HBV incidences in Israel since it was introduced in 2005. It is the only vaccine given on the day of birth because of the great danger of infection. Ben-Attar explains that HBV is up to 100 times more infectious than HIV, as the virus lives outside the body for more than 10 days.
"I would like to see everyone protected with our vaccine, but for a start we are targeting non-responders," says Ben-Attar, a biologist. "In Israel, the Ministry of Health says to use only our product if there is high risk."
Though about 80 Israeli companies are currently developing recombinant proteins for vaccines, she adds, SciVac possesses the most advanced methods to synthesize it. The company shares its knowledge and manufacturing facilities with startup companies that need these materials for clinical studies.
The privately owned company, established in 2005, has 50 employees. Ben-Attar hopes that future profits can be re-invested in the company to advance its research and development of inoculations for AIDS, Alzheimer's and other debilitating diseases.

Obama wins New Hampshire, 4 electoral votes
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — President Barack Obama won New Hampshire for a second time Tuesday, defeating Mitt Romney in the Republican's political backyard.
Though the Democratic incumbent carried the state four years ago, New Hampshire was a battleground this time, with much competition for its meager four electoral votes. Obama campaigned heavily in the state, visiting four times since Labor Day alone, and built up a strong organization that included more than twice the number of campaign offices as Romney had.
"We've made real progress these last four years, but New Hampshire, we're here because we know we've got more work to do," Obama told a crowd of 14,000 people outside the Statehouse two days before the election.
Debra Folsom, an assistant librarian from Canterbury, said Tuesday she couldn't imagine not voting for Obama.
"I think he's doing a fabulous job," said Folsom, a 52-year-old Democrat. "There are many things that still have to be done, but we are moving in the right direction."
Romney, who squeezed in rallies of his own in Portsmouth on Saturday and Manchester on Monday, has a vacation home in Wolfeboro and is well known to New Hampshire voters from his 2008 campaign and his time as governor of neighboring Massachusetts. He kicked off his second presidential campaign in Stratham in June 2011, won New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary in January, and had hoped to continue that streak Tuesday.
For many voters, economic concerns were paramount. In exit polls for The Associated Press, six in 10 voters named the economy as the nation's top problem. They were narrowly divided between Obama and Romney, but the four in 10 who said the economy is getting better overwhelmingly backed Obama.
Bob Leighton, a computer programmer from Concord, said his family's situation is about the same as it was four years ago, but he believes the national economy is slowly improving. He didn't like Romney's positions on environmental issues, women's health care and taxes.
"You hear all the stuff about him cutting taxes for the rich, and we in the middle class are going to get stuck paying for everything like we usually do," said Leighton, 56, who isn't registered with either political party.
New Hampshire, where undeclared voters outnumber either Republicans or Democrats, had long been considered safe Republican ground until Bill Clinton won it in 1992 and again in 1996. George W. Bush narrowly prevailed in 2000, but in the next election, New Hampshire was the only state to reject Bush after voting for him four years earlier.
Obama won the state in 2008, but Republicans made huge gains in 2010, retaking the state's two congressional seats and winning commanding majorities in the state Legislature. According to exit polls, Obama had a slight advantage among the more than four in 10 who called themselves independents Tuesday, though his support among that group dropped from 2008.

Adam Crouse
Growing up in the Midwest, Adam always had a strong desire to travel to far away places to see everything, both ancient and new. During a semester in college spent studying abroad in Norway, he began to fall in love with science fiction. Adam fell even more in love with the genre after graduating from college during a short year in Sweden. It was during that time that he was introduced to H. P. Lovecraft and many other writers of now-classic science fiction. After returning back to the United States, he felt like he had too much time on his hands, so he thought it would be fun to help others express their love of science fiction and maybe even initiate a few "newbs" into the genre's ranks.
Kellye Parrish – Editor
Kellye grew up in Rocket City, USA, the cradle of the American space flight program and the home of Marshall Space Flight Center, which acts as Ground Control for the International Space Station and all U.S. shuttles in flight today. She's a twenty-seven year old fiction writer, a professional editor, and a freelance magazine writer. Kellye is also a news junkie with a love of horror movies, civil rights, aliens, zombies, spaceships, astro-colonization, and international conflict theory. She runs a small editorial business catering to fiction writers called Ronin Revisional Services. Kellye is always working on short stories, but she's also at work on her first book, a dystopian novel about post-WWIII California called We are the Weapon.

Brenda Cobbs – First Reader
Brenda Cobbs can't remember a time when science and fiction weren't a part of her consciousness, either together or separate. Raised on NASA and Anne McCaffrey with generous helpings of history, she still tends to read everything and anything in front of her if she's not watching hockey.
Rachael Hobbs – First Reader
Growing up in the Southeast, Rachael was an avid reader from a young age. During her formative college years, she transitioned from general fiction to comic book nerdery to science fiction. She is especially fond of dystopian futures and space operas. While not reading, she enjoys good movies, bad movies, brewing beer, drinking beer and fiddling with technology.
Sara Puls – First Reader
Sara Kathryn Puls is a Wisconsinite who absolutely hates the cold. Accordingly, she now lives in South Texas, along with her boyfriend, cat, and tortoise. Oh, and four lovely fruit trees, too (take that, snow!). In addition to being a slush reader for Interstellar Fiction, she's a migrant farmworker attorney for a non-profit law firm. She enjoys cooking and is currently working on mastering all kinds of bread. But, as you might expect of a slush reader, she loves to read and write most of all. Sara's short stories have appeared in Downer Magazine, Fifty Word Stories, and Thickjam. She has a few sci-fi and fantasy pieces forthcoming in the near future. As for science fiction, her favorite stories to read are near-future dystopian ones. Bonus if they shed light on our current society or have a little glimmer of hope at the end.

Nonprofits getting first shot at bank foreclosures
PHOENIX Francisco and Pam Cruz maneuvered around boxes of new flooring and open cans of paint as they surveyed the foreclosed Phoenix house they would soon call their own.
This house wasn't typical of the thousands in foreclosure-battered Arizona that banks have auctioned for cheap - often to investors who make just enough repairs to satisfy a potential renter.
The Cruzes will become first-time homeowners, helped by one of many nonprofit groups that can snag foreclosures at a discount - and sometimes for free - before banks make them available to speculators.
It's a glimmer of hope for struggling neighborhoods that are watching banks foreclose on a record number of homes this year.
In the Cruzes' case, Rebuilding Together obtained the home for free from JPMorgan Chase & Co., the bank that foreclosed on its previous owner. Honeywell International Inc. provided the labor to renovate it and $25,000 cash for the materials.
In a market hot with speculators snapping up cheap foreclosures, Rebuilding Together's program is one of many that give a leg up to nonprofits and redevelopment agencies trying to stabilize neighborhoods dotted with vacant houses.
Yet Jim O'Donnell, JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s community revitalization program manager, acknowledges that each home being offered to a community group also has a story about someone who lost it to the bank.
"It's an unfortunate situation, and that's why we really take a conscious effort to work with our partners to ensure that we can have some good stories at the end of this unfortunate equation," O'Donnell said. "Through these programs, we put what I call this protective umbrella over these affordable homes so that first-come first-served nonprofits can get access to them to ensure they get turned back into the hands of the community."
Cruz and his wife watched earlier this month as more than 70 red-shirted Honeywell Aerospace employees swarmed throughout the three-bedroom house, putting the final touches on new kitchen cabinets, painting baseboards and walls, and cleaning up the landscaping.
"All the neighbors, they're just so grateful, because the house was looking so bad," Pam Cruz said. "This is a good example of the banks working with the mortgage companies and so forth, helping the community revitalize the neighborhood."
The disabled Vietnam veteran and his wife bought the house after the renovation was complete and got a completely updated home for below market value. The mortgage payment will be much less than the $900 a month they were paying in rent.
Under an expanded agreement announced in September between the federal government and banks that provide about 75 percent of all U.S. mortgages, as many as 100,000 more repossessed homes will join those already being pumped into the nonprofit and redevelopment agency pipeline.
That deal started in 2008 as a pilot program to provide foreclosed homes to cities and nonprofits that could renovate them for low- and moderate-income families. About $7 billion in federal funds has been allocated to the program.
But the discount program will only handle a small percentage of the foreclosures expected in the coming years. Banks seized more than 980,000 homes nationwide through the first 11 months of 2010 and will likely take back a million more next year, according to foreclosure listing firm RealtyTrac Inc.
The home the Cruzes now own is one of 1,200 Chase has donated or sold at steep discounts to nonprofits or community development agencies in the past two years. There are similar programs at other major lenders, including Wells Fargo & Co., which will donate close to 200 homes this year and sell hundreds more at a discount.
The Cruzes said they had been contemplating buying a house for months before a friend who is a real estate agent recommended the couple to Rebuilding Together's Phoenix chapter. As first-time homebuyers, the retired couple were the type of people the group is looking to help.

This review is from: ThinkPad Laptop T61 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.00GHz 2 GB Memory 60 GB HDD 14.1" Windows 7 Home Premium 18 Months Warranty
Pros: The laptop looks like new, the price is decent.
Cons: Batteries are scratched a lot, in contrast with the laptop. These are definitely not the original batteries. Noisy cooling fan. Small touch pad. No drivers CD/DVD. System must be restored first.
Other Thoughts: I purchased two laptops for my parents, two months apart. They both came with scratched batteries. The battery of the first laptop died in few days, and now the laptop works only plugged in. After the initial restore/install the laptop gave me the bsod a couple of times, so I reinstalled the OS again, then it worked fine. I thought that these were not such big deals, and because my dad liked it so much, I purchased a second identical laptop for my mom. The second laptop's cooling fan makes a terrible noise. I will have to spend some more on a replacement fan, but in the end is going to be OK.

For several years Midnight Club has been at the top of open world racing games, the same goes for Midnight Club Los Angeles, for the first time ever Midnight Club has a 24hour cycle, and traffic will change based on the time.
The game is powered by the R.A.G.E engine, which stands for Rockstar Advanced Game Engine, by using this engine Rockstar is capable of creating realistic graphics.
MC has good GTA like cutscenes this means: Good Motion capture, Lip-sync and good dialogs.
The characters in the game are tough , great, stereotype, like real Rockstars.
The story adds a little bit more to the game, you know what you are racing for, but if you only want to race, you can skip the cut scenes.
When you are cruising on the street, and you see an opponent, he has a arrow above is car, when you drive up to him and press Y ( Or Triangle) , than you can start racing immediately.
When racing someone you met on the street, you see a little cutscene between the drivers.
The game has a couple of new views , the standard one is a view that swings along with the car as you drive, but there ss also a classic view you know from the previous games.
If you lose you still get some money and reputation points, so you are still making progress throughout the game.
Multiplayer Details.
There are 11 multiplayer modes, from basis checkpoint races to Stockpile mode.
MCLA Multiplayer includes a cruise mode well-known from Burnout Paradise.
In the cruise mode, you can just drive online and enjoy the beauty of Los Angeles, but at any time you can start racing on your own circuit which you can create in the race editor!

Oh, good one. The "you're on the internet so you must have no life" insult isn't moronic or unoriginal at all. You must, without a doubt, be a very important member of society, not at all a waste of the already barely valuable gift of life.
As is the case for everyone who takes issue with people who make them sad on the internet, you are one of two kinds of people:
You are exactly what you claim I am, and that is a lonely, pathetic basement dweller. You life is spent eating eight pounds of junk food per day, masturbating to anything you find online that's even remotely feminine, and wishing you had good looks and social skills. You continue to live with your mother until she dies of a combination of lung cancer and liver failure brought on by the chain-smoking and heavy drinking she used to cope with what a failure you are. Your mother mercifully dead and free of the living embodiment of failure she regretfully thrust from her loins, the bills start to pile up and you, unemployed and unable to pay these bills (of course), lose the house and everything in it. Somehow even more of a failure than you already were, you wander from place to place eating out of dumpsters and sleeping in your own filth until you finally die of AIDS, which you contracted from a diseased whore you scrounged up enough money to pay for, so you could finally lose your virginity while at the same time pretending that your mother was back in your life.
You are the type who was an athlete in high school, who was genetically doomed to be an idiot but managed to finish school and even get a college scholarship because you were so good at a worthless children's game. You went off to college with a suitcase full of polo shirts and condoms, the polo shirts, because you're a douche, and the condoms to prevent you from impregnating the dim-witted young college girls whom you could never touch without the aid of Rohypnol, a drug you refer to as "roofies" because you can neither spell or pronounce Rohypnol. You scrape by with borderline D's for the next four years, and leave the campus to go out into the real world where your realize you're not intelligent or talented enough to do anything of value with your life. Misery and minimum wage ensues for thirty years, then you blow your brains out, and your corpse, alone and forgotten, is not discovered until the smell of rotting flesh seeps under your door and your bodily fluids finally soak through the floor of your studio apartment and into the room below you. Your body is cremated, the ashes scraped into a garbage bin because there was no one in your life who valued you enough to pay for a casket, funeral, or burial plot.
You're undoubtedly one of the two, otherwise you would have better things to do than complain about the theme of a forum that doesn't care about anything you have to say.

Home > Our Services > Women's Care > Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
If your baby has been born prematurely or with health problems, you want the best care available.
Our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is among the finest in the region. It's the only Level III NICU in North County.
The 20-bed nursery has sophisticated equipment like specialized isolettes that control a baby's temperature and environment. Our team of experts includes board certified neonatologists, registered nurses and a variety of specialized professionals, all there to give your baby skilled and loving care.
Tri-City's NICU staff includes board-certified neonatologists, physicians who specialize in caring for newborns. These highly skilled, caring doctors are onsite 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, ensuring both high risk and non-high risk care. Nursery care is provided exclusively by registered nurses and there is a team of dedicated social service providers available to help you with your baby's needs.
While your baby is getting the highest possible level of care, we also keep the whole family in mind.
One in every 10 babies born in the U.S. is admitted to a Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) because of prematurity or other medical condition. We understand that having a baby hospitalized in the NICU can be frightening and overwhelming for parents. The March of Dimes developed in conjunction with the National Prematurity Campaign, NICU Family Support to provide information and comfort to families during the NICU hospitalization of their newborn, during the transition to home and in the event of a newborn death. In the NICU at Tri-City Medical Center, as participants in the March of Dimes NICU Family Support program parents have access to printed materials introducing them to the staff, equipment, procedures, conditions and common emotions they may encounter during their newborn's NICU stay. In addition, at Tri-City Medical Center parents have the opportunity to attend a parent scrapbooking event twice a month where they can create lasting scrapbooks of their newborn's time in the NICU. Siblings are welcomed to join mom and dad for this event. This also gives parents the opportunity to share common concerns and emotions of having a newborn in the NICU with other NICU parents. Families are invited to visit www.marchofdimes.com to obtain information about the NICU experience and chat with other NICU past and present parents.

The Legacy of James Stephen
Shenk, Wilbert R., International Bulletin of Missionary Research
The interpenetration of missions and politics has been complicated, often ambiguous, and consistently fraught with conflict. The caricature entrenched in the popular imagination-missionaries were nothing more than the religious accomplices of the marauding Western imperialists who took hostage much of the non-Western world between 1492 and 1900--will not stand up to close scrutiny. (1) The mutual suspicion of missionaries and government officials has produced endless grief. It is a story that starts with the first apostles and continues in an unbroken line right up to the present.
The name James Stephen (1789-1859) is not one associated with the history of missions. Indeed, Stephen is a largely forgotten figure. But he was the indispensable civil servant who labored largely out of public view throughout his career yet exerted considerable influence on policy formation and administration of the British colonial empire during a crucial period. As this essay will show, he also left his imprint on mission theory and practice.
The Stephen Family
James Stephen was born at Lambeth, then a village of South London, on January 3, 1789, to James and Anne (nee Stent) Stephen. James Stephen Sr. had been called to the bar in 1782 and a year later went to Saint Kitts, where his older brother had taken over their late uncle's plantation. There he began practicing law. His years in the West Indies exposed him at first hand to the cruelties of slavery and the slave trade. The Stephen family spent the winter of 1788-89 in London, and during this time Stephen was in contact with William Wilberforce, who was in the first stages of organizing his campaign to end the slave trade. They quickly forged a lifelong bond.
On his return to the West Indies, Stephen continued to gather information on the slave trade and the terrible conditions slaves had to endure on the sugar plantations. This intelligence was indispensable to Wilberforce as he continued marshaling his forces to overthrow the system. In 1794 James Stephen moved his family to London, where he established a successful legal practice. At the same time, he was now able to work closely with Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson, Granville Sharp, and others in the uphill struggle against the slave trade.
James Stephen immediately became a part of the Clapham Sect. (2) Often referred to as the "Saints," the members of this remarkable group of Evangelical Anglicans, formed in the early 1790s, included John and Henry Thornton, Wilberforce, Zachary Macaulay, Charles Grant, James Stephen, John Shore, Hannah More, and John Venn. For a period of thirty-five years this well-connected, pious, and activist group was the creative center of an extraordinary range of missionary, social, and philanthropic initiatives that would leave an enduring mark on British society. The catalyst for these wide-ranging developments was opposition to the slave trade.
An early initiative was the establishment of a settlement in 1787 on the coast of West Africa at the site of the future Freetown, Sierra Leone. Here freed slaves could be settled and given opportunity to start a new life. In 1791 Henry Thornton and Wilberforce took the lead in founding the Sierra Leone Company, and the following year 1,100 former slaves from the American South who had moved north to Nova Scotia were settled in Freetown. (3)
When Macaulay stepped down as governor of Sierra Leone in 1799 and returned to London, he was accompanied by twenty-four African children, whom he brought to Great Britain to be educated and prepared for leadership in the emerging "Colony of Freedom." Not all of the children survived the transition to the climate of the British Isles. These African children lived in Clapham while they attended school. This association with the Africans left a deep impression on the children of the Clapham Sect.
As leader of the campaign against the slave trade, Wilberforce leaned heavily on associates such as Macaulay and Stephen. …

Out of the Midwest, a champion emerges!G2Local.com
Ohio is not the first place that pops to mind when one thinks about diversity, international business, interpreting, or translation, but G2Local is determined to become the leading provider of language services in the entire Midwest.
One often hears stories of how entrepreneurs came up with a business idea over a couple of beers some evening……….not us. Similarly, we have all heard the tales of great business ideas born between classes in college by smart roommates………..not us either. No, the story of G2Local's evolution is one of a savvy small business expert and former stock trader who brought together a dream team that truly believes they can positively shift interpreting and translation services for the clients they serve.
Our Fearless Executives:
Grace Bosworth oversees all of G2Local's strategy while also managing the day-to-day operations. She is the face of the business, a hard worker, and a tireless advocate for the minority community. Grace believes deeply in customer engagement and the concept that good companies come from good leaders. She is aggressive with problem solving and relentless with the pursuit of excellence in every part of G2Local's business.
Stacee Dover is the point person for the G2Local sales and customer service team. She is creative, attentive to detail, and known for her passion and drive to succeed. Stacee has developed metrics for G2Local and their clients, and she is a marketing/branding expert who is able to balance creativity with business goals in a way few can match.
Carlos Rios is not just another pretty face! This Arizona native has brains, brawn, and a work ethic that will take your breath away. Carlos is the one who keeps the schedule organized while booking appointments and dispatching interpreters. If you need an interpreter, Carlos WILL get someone there for you. Need an interpreter in the next 15 minutes? Carlos WILL get someone there for you!
Michael Gibson knows more about the Klingon language than any of the other languages G2Local supports. As the in-office technology guru, his strengths lie in keeping all of our systems running. Few realize that, because G2Local is based firmly on the latest interpreting & translation technology, we keep our quality high and our costs low. Mike runs the behind the scenes operations of G2Local. We could not do what we do without him. In addition, he excels in programming, IT, and all things gaming.
Mary McMahon is a certified teacher, project management expert, and an essential part of the G2Local team. In addition, Mary is an adjunct Professor at Cincinnati State, teaching Medical Interpreter Certification classes and continuing education. Mary has a strong interpreting and education foundation and, coupled with a sincere desire for creating high quality interpreters, she is a true asset to all parts of the G2Local business. Mary's dedication matches the G2Local goal of having a core of National Certified interpreters by the end of 2014.
In addition to the G2Local executive team, we have to mention and thank our many advisors, supporters, interns, admins, and the many contractors who carry out the day-to-day operations. This is a team operation, and we work together as family.
The entire G2Local team works under the concept that process and procedures followed every time produce great results. We also collaborate efficiently and have fun with our work and our lives.
In a word, the G2Local team would summarize themselves as FEARLESS. By this word, the team intends to express the idea that they will go the extra mile for their clients, set high goals, expect great things to happen to them, and never entertain the idea of failure.
At G2Local, we are determined to make the Ohio region known for high-quality interpreting and translation services. Our services are unique because of the personal approach we take with each and every client, combined with our commitment to excellence.
At G2Local, we are problem solvers- It's what we do best. Most of our clients are long on LEP persons with interpretation and translation needs, but short on money for such services. G2Local creates customized pricing that meets the needs of our clients. We have yet to work with a single client for whom we could not cut costs. In fact, great interpreter services will help your clinics see more patients, build more trust among your non-English speaking clientele, and concentrate on your core business. Our goal is to help you get more clients and increase patient satisfaction.
Remember: Interpreting isn't the ONLY thing we do. We deliver translations quickly without compromising accuracy or quality. If you have a website, G2Local can help you correctly globalize your site and reach new markets of people.

It's no secret that Vietnam's economy has boomed in recent years. Foreign investment has flooded the economy and tourism has increased dramatically. Because of this big increase in foreign involvement, the demand for TEFL jobs in Vietnam has similarly increased.
It's easy to find well paying jobs in Ho Chi Minh city (previously Saigon), a burgeoning business center, the port city of Ga Nang and in Hanoi, the cultural capital. English teachers with TEFL qualifications will find it relatively easy to secure a desirable English teaching position in this gorgeous country.
Salaries are quite high here, relative to the cost of living. If you are interested in working outside of the cities, having a more rural and culturally traditional experience, you may find it necessary to take a volunteer position. There are a number of agencies willing to help you find one of these.
Of course, the culture in Vietnam is radically different from those in the West. Provided you bring an intention of being culturally sensitive and of having an open mind, you will find that you will be warmly welcomed and quickly accepted by the local community.
Teachers traditionally engender a tremendous amount of respect in Vietnamese culture. The social order is expressed in the traditional saying, "My king, my teacher, my father". Most English teachers report that their school students are generally well behaved, courteous and keen to get to know you better. Education has a very high value in the culture, and most students see learning English as an important career step, so motivation levels are high for the most part.
Many jobs in Vietnam are posted on the internet on several different TEFL related web sites. However, most people get their jobs after actually arriving in Vietnam. It's a very good idea to thoroughly look into the reputation of schools you may be interested in working for.
You can ask questions on TEFL oriented internet forums as well as asking around the ex-pat community for information. It's not hard to get connected with the community of English teachers, and they are usually very willing to help out. They can not only give you information about the schools, but also let you know who might be currently hiring.
Once you have some interesting looking schools identified, show up in person with your up to date resume and your best professional clothes on. You may, at some point, be asked to present a sample lesson, so be well prepared for that.
Make sure that you ask questions of the employer regarding salary or hourly pay rate, whether you'll have to travel to your lessons and if you get compensated for this time and reimbursed for expenses, what kind of material resources the school has for lesson planning and teaching materials, what kind of administrative and collegial support you will have, whether a visa will be needed and if the school assists with that, is there a housing allowance, what holidays do you get, etc. Also be sure that the contract you sign will accurately reflect these details. This will help to avoid any nasty surprises after you've already agreed to take the job.

It is to Terrence McNally's great advantage that three of his plays are being staged simultaneously at the Kennedy Center since anyone who sees only Golden Age, the labored 19th century backstage-at-the-opera drama, would never believe him capable of the far superior Master Class. An intriguing, well-crafted piece about the life and career of überdiva Maria Callas, Master Class is an entertainment that transports. McNally not only gives us a tangible complex personality, he captures something real and true about what it is to sing opera.
As the title suggests, the play consists of a master class in which Callas puts several students through their paces while critiquing them before an audience (us) of aspirants and aficionados. Callas did give several such classes at the end of her career, but McNally's is not a reenactment, it is a jumping-off point for an exploration, with dramatic license, of what drove Callas as an artist and a woman.
Though she is prickly, undermining and ruthless with her wit, we see here, through her anecdotes and reveries, that Callas's hardness is intertwined with an essential vulnerability and the lasting wounds of a complicated life. And though she may torture her students, she nevertheless strives to push each one of them to a higher plane of understanding and thus performance. With restraint, rhythm and a powerful ability to evoke mood and place, McNally paints this woman with increasing detail as the class progresses. And yet, to his credit, he does not fill in every space or draw every line — Callas maintains her mystery, even though we learn much about her. And indeed the accuracy of what we learn matters less than the power and clarity of the vision McNally brings to his portrait of this legendary woman.
As with Golden Age, McNally is still writing for a mainstream theatrical audience. The polish, the more obvious jokes, and the presence of the simpering Manny, Callas's accompanist, all speak to the needs of the theatrically spoon-fed. But with so much of interest also going on in this piece, such cons are tolerable.
As Callas, Tyne Daly creates a remarkable presence, breathing life into the much-documented icon with great care. Though she has fun with the quirks and dramatics, she balances them well with the deeper melancholy, despair and damage that reside in McNally's Callas – we feel the connection between the witty, sharp-tongued teacher and the long-ago heartbreaks that served to form her carapace. And though there are times when McNally gilds the diva lily, Daly manages to dampen the effect with an air of credibility and understatement.
Interestingly, in a construct such as this, it must be said that part of the magic of Daly's performance is also the undeniable fact that it is Tyne Daly being Maria Callas. As Callas teaches her singers to sing with an actor's concept of embodiment, Daly shows us what it is to embody. Elsewhere, such a layer would break a necessary fiction; here it works as the perfect reflection of the fiction Callas made of herself, the fiction her public made of her, and the way all celebrities must contend with the concept of persona.
It also gives us two roles as audience; Callas's audience and Daly's, and that toying with our perceptions is clever and provocative. And yet when Callas steps away from her students and falls back through time to re-live pivotal moments in her life, Daly, being the accomplished actress she is, disappears to leave Callas alone on the stage.
Serving as sidekick and pianist is Jeremy Cohen as Manny, a man willing to suffer Callas's casual abuse for the chance to share the stage with the legend. Cohen reasonably complements Daly's Callas, but he cannot buck the hokey qualities of the role as written and thus often sets the teeth on edge. Although each singer-student learns something about themselves under Callas's harsh hand – and we learn something about Callas – director Stephen Wadsworth finds no way to give the pairings frission.
Indeed, the only moments that matter are when Callas stops interacting and begins to teach; then, through Daly's skill, we begin to see what McNally has to tell us about Callas, her art and opera as a whole — and t hat is what remains compelling, unique and memorable.
Of the singer-students, Laquita Mitchell, playing and singing (very nicely) the Second Soprano, generates the most energy with Callas, although it is hard to tell where her timidity ends and her toughness begins. Ta'u Pupu'a as the Tenor has a kind of verite credibility, but his nascent interplay with Callas stalls out when McNally inexplicably makes her listen instead of teach. As the First Soprano, Alexandra Silber over-cooks her newbie but still serves as a good foil for some of the diva's better one-liners. Finally, Clinton Brandhagen as the stagehand who occasionally lumbers into the highbrow proceedings, just about covers the ground, but as with the others he never quite generates the necessary sparks with Callas.
Still, this is a haunting, intelligent and original play with much to say about the artistic process. Opera 101 not a prerequisite.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Makes Everything Hotter, Rocks Glasses Out and About in NYC (PHOTOS)
We all know photos of Joseph Gordon-Levitt are the ultimate afternoon (or any time of day) pick-me-up. In other words, you can thank us later.
The 32-year-old actor was seen going for a stroll in NYC's SoHo neighborhood on September 23 and we're totally swooning over his low-key look. For the outing, Joseph wore jeans, a blue T-shirt, black-framed glasses, and a hat. Melting yet?

Mom Escapes Carjacker By Jumping Out Of Car, Holding BabyDanielle Sullivan
Move over Superwoman… a Maryland woman displayed her own incredible super powers when she was carjacked yesterday.
The new mom was at a gas station when a man jumped into her car and proceeded get onto a highway, while the mom held her 20-month-old baby in her arms.
"I asked him to pull over a thousand times. When I saw the Northern Virginia sign, 495 West, I'm like 'oh my gosh he's going to take me to Virginia and rape me and kill me with my son watching,' said the woman who asked not to be identified.
Facing the choice of staying inside the car with the carjacker, or making an escape, the mom carefully cradled her baby and jumped out of the moving car. She suffered a cut on her head but miraculously no further injuries and the baby was not hurt at all.
The suspect, 22-year-old Terron Alvin White of Baltimore, was later part of police chase after he side swiped a police cruiser. White eventually pulled over and was arrested and charged with fleeing and eluding police, hit and run, and negligent driving.
While this mom displayed incredible courage and was lucky to have kept her baby and herself safe, I can only imagine was a terrifying experience it was for her. Her decision had to be made in a split second when she realized she was leaving the state. Thank goodness, this story ended well. It's been a horrible week for parenting news, and it's comforting to see a happy ending.
Do you think you could jump out of a moving car? Would you?

Claudia Schiffer stalker horrorClaudia Schiffer was left terrified when a stalker deported for harassing her turned up on her doorstep.
Canadian Louis Brisette was arrested after being spotted snooping around the supermodel's 5millionGBP UK mansion and the German beauty is now demanding an inquiry.
Police were called to the property after receiving calls from Claudia's worried staff and Brisette, now in the hands of immigration authorities, is expected to be deported from the UK for a second time.
A spokesman for Suffolk Police said: "We can confirm a man was arrested on suspicion of entering the country illegally and he has been handed to immigration."
Claudia, who lives at the mansion with husband Matthew Vaughn and their son, Casper, now has guard dogs roaming the grounds.
The news of Brisette's arrest comes just three months after he was sent back to Canada for repeatedly turning up at the house and asking to see the 33-year-old blonde.
In 2002, Italian kitchen porter Agostino Pomato went to Claudia's house nine times and was eventually sectioned under the Mental Health Act.

That sound I hear as I write this in my Paris apartment isn't the workmen trying to bash a hole through the wall from next door. Well, it is, but it's also the knocking of French knees. Male knees, that is, and knees that are usually swathed in rather chic trousers.
All those men who thought that they'd got away with it, and who are now quaking in their highly polished boots because more and more women are coming forward and saying, "well, actually, if we are finally allowed to spill the haricots, I'd like to complain …"
I'm talking, of course, about all the women who are speaking out now that a member of the French elite, Dominique Strauss-Kahn, has been accused of a sex crime.
There will be opportunists, but some rock-solid cases of under-the-carpet-sweeping are being revealed. Take, for example, Jacques Mahéas, the current senator for the Seine Saint-Denis département, and mayor of the town of Neuilly-sur-Marne. In March 2010, after three appeals, Monsieur Mahéas's conviction for sexual assault on a town-hall employee was upheld, and he was sentenced to a 10,000 euro fine and 35,000 euros damages. Despite his conviction, though, he got away with it – the fine sounds hefty, but with his double salary as both mayor and senator, it wouldn't have taken long for him to pay it off. The original guilty verdict was pronounced in June 2008, but never did it occur to Monsieur Mahéas' colleagues in the Socialist Party to remove him from his two political jobs. You can still see him smiling away on the Sénat website, which gives a long and illustrious CV, but fails to mention his conviction. (For some reason, they don't seem to have a "criminal record" section on their senators' pages.)
And he would have stayed smiling if Monsieur Strauss-Kahn hadn't been arrested. Now, though, even the staunch self-defence reflexes of the political parties are weakening under this new public scrutiny, and the Socialists have announced that they are convening a "conflicts commission" to review the groping senator's membership of their party. They have also declared that he won't be standing for re-election as a senator, though that is only political expediency – it's easy to imagine the kind of poster his opponents would be pasting up on the walls.
This is all very healthy, as long as it isn't restricted to glee at seeing the mighty fall. French 17th-century dramatists like Racine used to say that a tragedy wasn't a tragedy unless the victim fell from a great height, and today, attitudes are similar. This is understandable – it is great fun to watch the bubbles of pomposity burst (and some of them were inflated way beyond normal bursting point). But it would be even better if the human resources department of every French company was issuing memos saying that from now on, any manager not taking a sexual harassment complaint seriously will be told that he or she is not doing their job.
No one wants to see an end to the French culture of being able to tell a colleague (male or female) "you're looking very good today", but there is a difference between harmless compliments like that and letting hands stray where they're not supposed to. There should also be a difference between a polite, albeit seductive, invitation to have a drink after work and a blatantly sexual text message. In the past, it had all got muddled up into a tacit agreement that "c'est la vie", boys will be boys and there's no point complaining because no one will listen.
For the moment, everyone is listening avidly, though they might be deafened by the big names being shouted from the rooftops. Just as I'm being deafened by the workmen next door, though there's no point complaining because, unlike senator-mayor Jacques Mahéas, they're only doing their job.

Just wanted to say congrats to the kick and punt returners for having a great season. The ONLY area i think we never had problems this year. Pretty sure we didn't lose a fumble on a return this year. These guys had great yard per return averages and put us in great field position several times. Usually, the offense would not take advantage of it, but hey... thats not on the return unit... Jarvis West is the most exciting kick returner i have seen at ISU since........ hmmm, he may be the best ever. The way he hits those holes and avoids tacklers is fun to watch. I hope he busts at least 2 or 3 for TDs next year. His return today was awesome, but of course, damn holding call brought it back...
I hope Teddy Lampkin lives up to the hype as a return specialist. Him and Jarvis back deep together is exciting to think about!!!
Hoof hearted
Forgot to mention the guys blocking on the returns, sorry!
Horne's catch over the shoulder was spectacular.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
Agreed, Return team was solid all year. Lenz and West are great returning kicks.
horne had a couple punt returns that put us near midfield today, but we couldnt do anything with the ball. i have a small man-crush on jarvis!
Jarvis West, Josh Lenz, Aaron Horne, and possibly Shontrelle Johnson and Teddy Lampkin next season would be very exciting to watch!

Now what are the truths about cables and hydro lines?
I am looking to make my Dawg Awesome... When the time comes, I want to replace the stock cables/housings. But what is with all these different types?
I see the normal, kevlar, jagwire, flac jackets, Ilinks, PTFE coated, powerline, etc...
What are the major differences when looking at what cable systems? (These will be for shifters only on the Dawg.)
And for hydrolines I just see different companies with different claims and stuff like steel braided and etc lines.
I wont be doing anything to my hydro lines, until I buy new brakes... looking at something in AVIDS line, they seem to have hydro down.
My plan is to buy extra housing guides (stick on or something) and run full length housing (or as much as I possibly can)
