Language courses for migrants should be designed to assist them
in: • Raising their communicative competence in the language
of the host country while meeting their perceived needs •
identifying and formulating their language needs related to
personal activities, employment and their particular situation
(children at school, occupation...) • overcoming any doubts
they may have about their ability to learn the language of the

demonstrate a strong desire to be successful and approach

4.099738 | 3.615507 | 35 | 'Jurassic Park 4' in the works, again, according to Steven
Spielberg This isn't the first time there have been promises
(threats?) to reignite the "Jurassic Park" franchise, but
apparently Steven Spielberg is brainstorming ways to finally add
a fourth installment to the dinosaur drama. THR reports that
Spielberg, once again in bed with CGI dinos this fall on FOX's
"Terra Nova," has approached screenwriter Mark Protosevich to
discuss possible storylines for "JP4." A previous attempt at
the film was made in 2007, with the rumored plot focusing on
government owned dinosaurs that carry weapons into battle. (How
did that not get made?) Universal and team Spielberg maintain
that all talk of more "Jurassic Park" is just for fun, at the
moment, but if there's an interest to bring back the dinosaurs,
we can't imagine it will be that difficult to find an excuse.
If they do go ahead with "Jurassic Park IV," would you want to
see some of the original cast return -- or should they start
fresh? |

Most Fuel-... New Ford Focus ECOnetic, Europe's Most Fuel
Efficient Compact Car Ford has unveiled the new Ford Focus
ECONetic compact car ahead of its debut at the Amsterdam Motor
Show next week. This compact car’s claim to fame is its
efficiency: at 80 miles per gallon, the ECONetic has the best
fuel mileage of any compact car available in Europe. Ford also
expects the car to be certified at a low 95 g/km of CO2
emissions. How did they achieve such high mileage with a
traditional engine? To reach 80 mpg, Ford used a combination of
a turbo-charged diesel engine with a new injection system,
aerodynamic body design, low-resistance tires, and technologies
such as Ford’s Auto-Start-Stop, Eco Mode, and Smart Regenerative
Charging to glean every ounce of efficiency they could from the
little car. The ECONetic will be available in 2012 in four-door

November 15, 2009 “We are very excited about these findings,”
says Vladimir Spiegelman, an associate professor of dermatology.
“Drugs could be developed to block this mechanism and prevent
colorectal cancer, which affects millions of people worldwide.”
The research will appear in the current (Nov. 15) Cancer
Research. Spiegelman and his team study cellular processes that
produce several types of cancer. They have focused recently on
the Wnt signaling pathway, which has been implicated in the vast
majority of all colorectal cancers. Like all signaling
pathways, this one involves a group of molecules that work in
sequence to perform a specific cell function. At each step along
the way, the molecules perform tasks outlined in the signals
until the job is finally done. If there’s a breakdown anywhere
in the normal process, cancer can occur. In an earlier paper
published in Nature, Spiegelman’s team described how signals in
the Wnt pathway regulate CRD |

One Page Platforms: PS2 One of those buzz words you hear bandied
about in video game reviews is “originality”. Critics have
always complained that games should offer something new, and not
simply be a rehash of what is already on the market. Primal is
one of those kinds of games that flies directly against this
ideology, and yet manages to be a decent adventure game in the
end. Instead of coming up with a completely new idea, Sony
employed the best elements from a wide range of games. Primal
manages to resemble Ico, the Mark of Kri, Soul Reaver, Dark
Cloud 2, the Getaway, and even Resident Evil. I’m almost sure
the list is longer than that, but I really don’t want to dwell
on the notion that the game is not very original. Instead, I
think Primal should be celebrated as being a success, even if
its creativity is in question. Primal is the story of Jen, a

blog that you may also find helpful when dealing with deadlocks.
Recently a customer asked a question about how to avoid
deadlocks when using EF. Let me first say very clearly that I
don’t actually hear about deadlock issues with EF often at all.
But deadlocks are a general problem with database applications
using transactions, and to answer this particular customer I
collected some information that then I thought could be worth
sharing in my blog in case someone else runs into problems: I
won’t spend time in the basics of deadlocks or transaction
isolation levels. There is plenty of information out there. In
particular, here is a page in SQL Server’s documentation that
provides general guidelines on how to deal with deadlocks in
database applications. Two of the main recommendations that
apply to EF applications are to examine the isolation level used
in transactions and the ordering of operations. Transaction

When storing sensitive data it is very important that existing
encryption support is used rather than "hand rolled" solutions
written by inexperienced security developers. Getting
cryptographic solutions right is very hard and best left to
experts. To this end Symbian have provided a subset of the
cryptographic libraries for use by third parties and these
should be used to store sensitive data since they are
cryptographically secure. This code snippet shows how to
securely store data so that the only way it may be retrieved is
to supply a password. The first code snippet contains the code
to encrypt a blob of text with a password and write that out to
a stream. The second code snipped reverses the first, in that
given a password and a stream, the encrypted blob will be
decrypted and the plain text returned. API Notes |

Article excerpt THE FIRST comprehensive survey of the world's
largest series of prehistoric stone monuments has just been
completed by a leading British archaeologist. Dr Aubrey Burl
has spent 20 years travelling more than 20,000 miles throughout
Britain, Ireland and Brittany, in search of ancient stone
circles and similar monuments, and has succeeded in tracking
down some 2,200. His detailed analysis of their design and
geographical distribution is now shedding important new light on
a 2,300-year-long period of British prehistory. Differing widely
in size, the sites fall into four main categories - stone
circles, stone avenues, stone rows and multiple stone rows. The
site with the most stones - a multiple row complex at Kerzerho
in Brittany - consists of 1,129 standing stones, while the
largest site in terms of area is the 28-acre great stone circle
at Avebury, in Wiltshire. The longest row, running across Stall

"sound enhancer" functions enabled by default (depending on the
audio driver). This changes all sounds that are sent to the
speakers by applying equalisation and possibly mixing together
the right and left channels of stereo sound for a "better
surround effect". I would like to know if OS X applies any
similar transformations by default, and if yes, how I can turn
them off. I need precise control over sound output for a
physics experiment with two speakers. I would like to play a
pre-generated wave file exactly as it is, without any post-
processing. Most importantly, the two channels must not be mixed
at all, and preferably no non-linear transformation should be
applied to single channels either (this is less important
because some non-linearity is unavoidable when the signal goes
through the analog hardware). Note: The question is about OS X

News Headlines 'R.I.P. nosey neighbors' written on woman's
tombstone decoration Posted: Updated: By Taryn Asher FOX 2
News Reporter ST. CLAIR SHORES, Mich. -- A bitter battle
between neighbors on Timberidge Street in Saint Clair Shores
started over a gigantic camper parked in Cindy Puddock's
driveway. Neighbors didn't like it and complained to the city.
Puddock didn't like that and decided to make them part of her
morbid Halloween display. "Just something that she would do,"
said Phil Rouleau. "You don't do that if you want to get along
with people in your neighborhood. Why would you do something
like that?" said Wadine Caramitros. Puddock set up tombstones
in her front yard. One reads "R.I.P. nosey neighbors". She
even scrubbed up the grass to make it look like fresh graves.
There are initials on two other tombstones matching those of
neighbors with whom she just happens to have the biggest issues

Uh oh. I’d better explain. Everyone wants the Office
spellchecker to recognize their name, and in fact we work very
hard to make sure that our spellcheckers recognize not only
frequently used first and last names, but also a great many
names that occur less frequently, especially if they are well-
known and/or hard to spell, such as, say, Denzel or
Schwarzenegger. (Or Teixeira.) But there are also names that
we deliberately get “wrong”. Sargent is a perfect example.
While Sargent is a reasonably frequent name (and a fairly well-
known one, thanks to politician Shriver and painter John
Singer), it is also a very frequent misspelling of the word
Sergeant. We refer to this type of word as “masking” because a
frequent spelling error (Sargent for Sergeant) is masked by
being a correct but infrequent spelling of a different word. In
principle it’s very hard to tell, when a user types “Sargent”,

Era D.B. Grady October 31, 2012 The unexpected news of Disney
acquiring Lucasfilm and the plans to continue Star Wars are
worth some consideration. The Atlantic’s Spencer Kornhaber is
right, of course—the saga will survive “whatever horrible thing
Disney does to it.” But the timing of a new film, presently set
for release in 2015, has implications beyond the state of CGI
and digital projection. This isn’t just another Star Wars film;
it’s Episode VII, which means we are set for the continuation of
a story that ended in 1983. And life in the galaxy following the
Return of the Jedi will have an interesting parallel with our
world post-War on Terror. George Lucas has long claimed that
the Star Wars universe is heavily influenced by American foreign
policy. According to Lucas, in the first film the Galactic
Empire represented U.S. imperialism in Vietnam. (Which, carried
forward, makes Princess Leia a member of the VC.) In Revenge of

public eye during the mid-90s, though its popularity quickly

points could be argued ad nauseum, ad infinitum, and et cetera.
What sets Tetris out is its place in the context of history.
Just as the Iron Curtain was beginning to fall, this Soviet

-0.354855 | 8.570704 | -1 | Business security How to encrypt (almost) anything It's all
too easy to neglect data security, especially for a small
business. While bigger organizations have IT departments,
service contracts, and enterprise hardware, smaller companies
frequently rely on consumer software, which lacks the same sort
of always-on security functionality. But that doesn’t mean that
your data is unimportant, or that it has to be at risk.
Encryption is a great way to keep valuable data safe—whether
you’re transmitting it over the Internet, backing it up on a
server, or just carrying it through airport security on your
laptop. Encrypting your data makes it completely unreadable to
anyone but you or its intended recipient. Best of all, much of
the software used in offices and on personal computers already
has encryption functionality built in. You just need to know
where to find it. In this article, I’ll show you where and how.

sing, play guitar, write songs, make CDs, and perform. My music
is in the Americana/singer-songwriter world, and I've performed
the National Anthem at a couple Rockies games. And as that dream
continues to take shape, I make my living as a psychotherapist,

warming, scientists say Thu, 2007-09-13 11:36Bill Miller Bill
Miller's picture The Lancet said reducing global red-meat
consumption by 10 per cent would reduce the animal gases that
contribute to global warming. With world demand for meat
increasing, however, experts fear increased livestock production
will mean more methane and nitrous oxide heating up the planet.
In China, for example, people are eating double the amount of
meat they used a decade ago. Other ways of reducing greenhouse
gases from farming, like feeding animals higher-quality grains,
would only have a limited impact on cutting emissions, leaving
reduced demand for meat as the only viable option. The amount
of meat eaten varies considerably. In developed countries,
people typically eat about 224 grams per day. In Africa, most
people only get about 31 grams a day. A Lancet author said if
the global average were 90 grams per day, that would prevent the

potion still gets me to full HP, even if I'm almost dying. How
many HPs do the different kind of Healing potions restore?
share|improve this question They restore a percentage according
to the wikis]( Because of this, fixed HP numbers will be
relative to your health. – skovacs1 May 15 '12 at 8:30 That's
not what I've experienced, as I said a minor healing potion gets
me to full health at the moment. If it was percentage based I
should have seen a much lesser HP gain – Kappei May 15 '12 at
8:32 @skovacs1 I think you're confusing health potions with
health globes, which do return a percentage. – Oak May 15 '12

Fredrik Idestam established a pulp mill in south-west Finland
and started manufacturing paper. He opened a second mill three
years later near the town of Nokia and by 1902, the firm had
moved into electricity generating. Shortly after the first world
war, Nokia was close to bankruptcy and the nearby Finnish Rubber
Works, maker of galoshes, hoses and tyres, bought the firm in
order to ensure a power supply. A few years later, the group
acquired Finnish Cable Works, exporter of telephone and
electricity cables to the Soviet Union, and the crucible of
Nokia's electronics business. The three companies merged in 1922
to form a conglomerate. By the 1960s, Nokia had begun making

Population Soars The city with the second largest population
expansion in the east is Winterville. The Office of Management
and Budget put out the stats Thursday that show Winterville
increasing in population from 2000 to 2008 by nearly 87 percent.
The current population is nearly 9,000. Winterville's mayor
says he feels many people like living close to Greenville
without having the congestion of a big city. The city has also
seen a large annexation increase over that time period. Mayor
Doug Jackson believes there is one major reason why so many
people are choosing to call winterville home. "The first thing I
would say is the tax rate. In 1907 the tax rate for Winterville
was 40 cents per $100. Now it's 45 cents." The town with the
largest population increase in the east is Princeville in
Edgecombe County. powered by Disqus |

1.526805 | 1.03493 | -1 | The following article was written during a discussion the
relevance of karmic theory in context of the advaita philosophy.
It establishes a reconcilation between the two. Two basic
questions come in the way of the karma theory: 1. If Advaita is
the right theory, then all the world, the matter is unreal, so
are the actions. Hence there is no meaning to a divine principle
guiding these phenomenas. 2. If the karmic theory is right, is
everything pre-decided and there is no free will. Is human being
weak? And can praying to God, challenge the karmic theory,
exhaust the effect of the bad karmas... The first question: I
feel that though all this is an illusion, there is a law which
governs it all. A very simple analogy can be drawn from maths.
In maths, a unreal system of numbers called Complex numbers is
used. These complex numbers have no significance as far the
reality is concerned, they have no meaning. But, while analysing
problems, we start with real numbers, use complex numbers as a
tool and finally g |

N.Y. (WKTV) - The Hamilton College men's lacrosse team is
playing it's best lacrosse since Scott Barnard took over as head
coach. At 6-0, the Continentals are off to their best start
since 2005. What makes the team so tough is that they winning
in all manners, whether it be the close game or blowing teams
away. "We are starting to turn the corner, we put a lot of work
in during the offseason." says Sophomore Luke Sadoff. "We also
have great heads on our shoulders and we stay together as a
team. We mesh together and I think that all comes together to
allow us to be so successful this year." 6-0 is a far cry
from their 3-10 record from a year ago. So what's the
difference. perhaps its team unity, something they will need in
their liberty league opener against RPI, a team they have just
