Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Having worked in publishing, I can help strengthen your prose to make it more effective. As a teacher, I have worked with students of all ages teaching writing in both English and French.
I first began tutoring English as a Second Language in the late 1970s as a high school volunteer and I taught Russian immigrants in Denver, Colorado. In the 1980s, I worked for Dialogos International, a company based in Raleigh, NC. There, I provided one-on-one tutoring primarily for business executives and their spouses. In 1990, I taught Russian immigrants English for the United Way in Birmingham, Alabama.
In 2004, I taught graduate students ESL at Rutgers University using the target language. The "immersion" approach, or using the target language, is a methodology that transfers smoothly from one language to another. After teaching ESL in high school in 2006 in Connecticut, I received certification with a 100-hour intensive course in ESL. Following this training, I taught ESL full-time at middle school in North Carolina. My students made tremendous progress in a semester's time by being given the opportunity to create their own individual research projects on subjects or aspects of subjects that most interested them. In public school, I advocated on behalf of the students for teaching modifications to help them in their other subjects and participated in the state-wide project to revamp all the record keeping in accordance with No Child Left Behind legislation. Since then, I have coached professors and students in English conversation, writing and public speaking.
I learned French as a child attending French public school in Aix-en-Provence. Later, I attended lycée in Monaco whilst living with a French family. Since that time, I developed my bilingual introduction to the language by reading, studying and returning to France regularly. I taught French literature for Rutgers University in Paris (summer 2000) and received my doctorate in Renaissance French literature (October 2000). Since that time, besides tutoring and translating, I have had extended stays in France with my family.

Targeted immunotherapy has re-emerged as an exciting therapeutic option in the arsenal against cancer. Clinical trials in breast and other cancers for drugs that modulate immune response to tumors have demonstrated a sustained clinical benefit for some patients, but challenges persist in understanding the best approach for each patient, and to improving the response to immune-based therapies. Effective immunization against breast cancer is difficult because breast cancer arises from cells that were once normal and our bodies have elaborate controls to stop the immune system from attacking our own tissues. However, research by Drs. Wolchok, Merghoub and Norton has found a way to trick the immune system by using a vaccine from a different species. It works because the immune system recognizes the vaccine as "foreign" and generates an immune response to destroy breast cancer cells as if they were foreign invaders. This research has moved from the laboratory to patients and in the last year, the researchers completed a clinical trial to test the safety and feasibility of the vaccine against breast cancer. In addition to these studies, the research team is pursuing other novel strategies to improve tumor response to immunotherapy including radiation therapy, which has been shown to activate the immune system, and several targeted combination approaches. They we will continue to investigate ways to use the immune system to treat breast cancer. Collectively, these studies will have a significant impact on advancing immunotherapy to improve breast cancer outcomes.
Dr. Wolchok is Chief of the Melanoma and Immunotherapeutics Service, Attending Physician at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC). Dr. Wolchok has helped establish MSKCC as a leader in the discovery and treatment of cancers with novel immunotherapies. Dr. Wolchok was instrumental in the clinical development leading to the approval of ipilimumab for advanced melanoma. He also leads the MSKCC Immune Monitoring Facility, a world-renowned full-time core dedicated to the pre-clinical and clinical cellular, serological and pathological monitoring of clinical trials of new immunotherapeutic approaches. He is Principal Investigator of numerous ongoing clinical trials at MSKCC in the area of immunotherapy. He supervises an NIH R01-funded basic science laboratory which is focused on investigating novel immunotherapeutic agents in pre-clinical laboratory models. In 2011, Dr. Wolchok established the Immunotherapeutics Clinical Core, a specialized phase 1-2 outpatient unit at MSKCC that is focused on the conduct of novel immunotherapy trials, with a specific emphasis on pharmacodynamic biomarker identification. This group treats patients with a broad spectrum of malignancies.

Re: Jan 13, surcharge fees can apply
ccnewcc wrote:
Gosh, everytime i visit visa's website my computer slows to crawl. MC doesn't do this me. Only Visa. Another plus for MC.
Yeah, i think that every business, small, med, large, will want to take advantage of the new surcharge rules. So my guess is that surcharges will be part of the normal business practices.
Kinda funny that this rule would encourage ppl to pay cash (or use cash forms like debit). You normally see the businesses encouraging consumers to use credit. Funny shift in attitude.
It's a little less clear cut. Some big retailer organizations are against the settlement, seeing it as a way for the credit card companies to keep their large swipe fees, and to be able to put the blame on retailers if they start surcharging. And then competitive pressures will at least slow surcharging. Businesses are already eating the charge/have already added it to the price (depending who you listen to) so surcharging isn't "needed". So if your competitors chose not to, it would be hard for you to surcharge.
Businesses don't like credit cards over much because of the swipe fee, and slow settlements. Cash obviously has costs associated with it, but for some businesses, less than paying high fees to Visa/Amex/MC.

I have done few process on my image and got stuck here. So far,this is the result that i got: http://s20.postimage.org/5dg34043h/Pra_processing.png. For now, all i need is to find the first white pixel in that image and do some mark on it. We'll start at the bottom right corner of the grid, scan each column of pixels from the bottom going upwards-starting from the rightmost column and proceeding to the left-until we encounter a first white pixel. We'll declare that pixel as our "start" pixel.
[row, column] = find(yourImage, 1, 'last');
Hello guys..
I've got the same problem here and already use [row, column] = find(yourImage, 1, 'last'); but the result isn't show how it suppose to be..
Here is my code (from top left):
[row, column] = find(edge_s, 1, 'first'); hold on; plot(row,column,'r.', 'MarkerSize',5,'LineWidth',5);
Result: Its being marked with red dot but the position isn't right. <http://postimage.org/image/okchtrlb5/> Do you have any idea?

(AP)With NFL training camps just around the corner, we're taking a team-by-team look at how the offseason played out and what you can expect in 2012. Click here to read them all.The 2011 Atlanta Falcons put together one of the quietest playoff seasons you will ever see. As the Saints pulled away in the NFC South, no one ever really talked about Atlanta as a threat to go the distance, despite its presence in the postseason.The way in which Atlanta got to 10-6 might have had something to do with that. The Falcons beat just two teams that finished with winning records -- the 10-6 Lions and the 9-7 Titans, who missed the playoffs; they lost twice to the Saints, while also dropping showcase games against Green Bay and Houston.Yet, here we are, preparing for another season in which the Falcons are expected to contend, both in the NFC South and beyond. Is this the year Atlanta finally gets over the hump and becomes a legitimate Super Bowl contender?2011 Record: 10-6 (second place, NFC South), lost in wild-card round to New York GiantsKey Additions: C Peter Konz, T Lamar Holmes, DB Asante Samuel, LB Lofa TatupuKey Subtractions: LB Curtis Lofton, FB Ovie Mughelli, KR/WR Eric WeemsTeam Strengths: QB, WR, TE, CB, DLTeam Weaknesses: LB, OLThree Things to Watch: 1. How big will Asante Samuel's impact be?: The Falcons were not necessarily awful against the pass in 2011, but they did give up 270 yards or more eight times during the regular season and finished 20th in yards allowed.Enter Asante Samuel, whom the Eagles wanted to unload because of his massive contract. Atlanta gave up just a seventh-round pick to get him, restructured his deal and plans to plug him right into the starting lineup. With Dunta Robinson and franchise-tagged Brent Grimes rounding out the top three at cornerback, Atlanta should be much stingier against the pass. Samuel, a four-time Pro Bowler, could be the guy to put this unit over the top.2. Can Peter Konz help shore up the O-line?: To land Julio Jones in the 2011 draft, the Falcons handed a gift basket of picks to Cleveland. So Peter Konz was Atlanta's first selection in 2012, at No. 55 overall. The offensive lineman out of Wisconsin looks like the team's center of the future, but with veteran Todd McClure around for at least one more year, Konz will have to work his way into the lineup elsewhere. The obvious choice is at right guard, which was a gaping hole for the Falcons last season. He'll have to beat out the likes of Mike Johnson and Vince Manuwai to claim that job, but definitely do not bet against him.3. Will the Falcons' offense take the next step?: Sometimes it's hard to pinpoint why, but it just feels like this Falcons offense should be better. Maybe it's because Matt Ryan now has four seasons under his belt as a starter or because Michael Turner has back-to-back seasons with more than 1,300 yards rushing. Or maybe it's the presence of arguably the greatest tight end ever, Tony Gonzalez, and a talented receiving corps paced by Julio Jones and Roddy White.But when the Falcons need their offense the most is when it often disappears. Case in point: A laughable 24-2 playoff loss to the Giants, in which the offense managed just 242 total yards. A new offensive coordinator in Dick Koetter and a promise to use the no-huddle more might help Atlanta flip the switch.Outlook: This is a difficult team to get a read on, because the Falcons have the look of a Super Bowl contender. And yet, despite three playoff berths and one division crown in the past four seasons, they've never really threatened to go the distance. The opportunity to win the NFC South appears to be there again -- New Orleans is in turmoil, while Carolina and Tampa Bay are still building. Maybe Samuel was the missing piece, Konz will help turn the offensive front into a road-paving machine, and Ryan and the offense will suddenly turn into Green Bay South. The Falcons should contend for a playoff spot, but there are still too many question to expect more. More Audibles

Malocclusion is bad teeth problem which requires orthodontic treatment. Dentists provide treatment to patients facing the problem of malocclusion. Individuals suffering from malocclusion can visit the dentist to get the necessary treatment, to align the teeth and all that without any pain. There are many online doctors who provide special guidance to the patients and you can fix the appointment according to your convenience.Read more information on Malocclusion at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001058.htm.
There are many ways for malocclusion correcting procedures.
Let us discuss the topic in detail:
- Braces are an effective solution to the problem of malocclusion. You can choose the braces according to your budget and preference. A large variety of braces is available for aligning crooked teeth. You can prefer lingual braces because of the invisibility of the braces in daily life. You can choose to buy the lingual braces re-energize your beautiful smile. Invisible braces are also used by the patients to avoid the awkward stares associated to wearing braces.
- Clear braces are also popular among people. Many Hollywood stars have used them for correcting malocclusion. There is slight pain in the gums and teeth in starting but if you are used to braces then it can reduce the difficulty of using braces. Dentists fix the braces in some cases but some braces are removable and can be set aside while sleeping.
- Porcelain veneers is quite expensive treatment and it is used for painless malocclusion. Braces treatment is time consuming procedure and it can create some problem but porcelain veneers is quite simple. You don't have to visit dentist again and again. Surgery is also effective in malocclusion treatment but it is the last option used for treatment.
- The size of the jaws becomes a problem for the person and if there is growth of teeth in small jaws then it can result in tilted and crooked teeth. Over biting and under biting problem occurs. Chewing food is not easy if the teeth are tilted and misaligned and this may result in undue pressure on teeth. Teeth can get broken due to pressure on teeth.
- Malocclusion treatment using braces is lengthy and you have to use retainers after removal all of the braces. Braces are worn for long time but retainers are worn to make sure that the position of the teeth is maintained and there is no shifting due to removal of braces.
You can consult the dentist to help in choosing the right treatment for malocclusion.
Keeping Your Braces Clean

Food particles get stuck in the braces and people feel awkward. Sticking of the food material may lead to many oral diseases and it is better to use proper methods of cleaning teeth and the braces. Braces can be kept clean by following few easy ways and you can even consult your dentist to provide a cleaning kit.

- Cleaning of braces can be done using dental floss or thread. Floss is available in the market along with the cleaning kit. You can buy the cleaning kit at variable prices. Different companies are making cleaning kit of braces and prices vary from one company to other.
- Often people complain of pain in teeth and gums due to infection. People are not aware of the problems which are caused due to bacterial infection.

Science is soaring! With the release of the upcoming Star Wars movie, the popularity of TV
shows like Doctor Who and Mythbusters and of course the success of
Andy Weir's book The Martian, science
is not only popular but cool. To quote Weir: "Love of science is universal
across all cultures." That is why we are excited to be a major partner in the
first ever Maryland STEM Festival this November.The Pratt Library will be hosting free interactive programs
for children and teens at all branches making Science, Technology, Engineering,
and Mathematics (STEM) more accessible. As Weir said in his novel, "there's a
difference between knowing it and really experiencing it." So we will also be
opening "Creation Station" maker spaces at both the Southeast Anchor Library
and Waverly Branch. This will allow young minds to discover and explore beyond
books. The Maryland STEM Festival will spark and ignite an interest among students in
a career in science and math, among one of the fastest career paths. A path we
hope will start at the Pratt Library. Maybe a future Neil Armstrong or Albert
Einstein is already among us. The sky is truly the limit at the library.

After updating to xorg-edgers' ppa in 12.04 running glxgears indicated that my refresh rate has dropped to about 90fps from 900 fps using the driver and mesa packages out of the repo. I have a Nvidia G105M video card.
In this installation I am using the nouveau driver.
On a different partition I have 12.10 with the nvidia 313.18 driver from xorg-edgers, the reading of glxgears is about 50fps, this is much lower than nouveau in 12.04. I tested in Unity and gnome classic no effect, the result is the same.
I have a third partition with kubuntu 12.10, also installed the nvida proprietary driver from xorg-edgers, the reading of glxgears is again about 50 fps.
Now even though the refresh rate reported by glxgears is low but overall it doesn't feel slow, graphic performance seems to be great as far as I can tell.
These numbers don't seem to make any sense. It may be a bug in glxgears (in mesa) rather than the driver. I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions for further tests before filing a bug report (it seems there has to be a bug somewhere)

Malaysia's Najib Calls for Calm
Church Attacks Escalate Religious Dispute, Put Burden on Leader
KUALA LUMPUR -- Malaysia's government sought to calm tensions in the multiethnic nation after at least three churches were fire-bombed, escalating a dispute over whether Christians here can use the word "Allah" as their translation for "God."
Nobody was hurt in the attacks Friday and Saturday, and only one of the churches suffered serious damage.
The tensions began with a Dec. 31 court decision that allowed Roman Catholics to refer to Allah in Malay-language sections of their weekly newspaper. The government has appealed the ruling, which overturned a three-year-old government ban.
Prime Minister Najib Razak called for calm Friday and said Malaysians shouldn't blame his government for inspiring the church attacks. "There should be no overzealous action that can harm the harmony of the country," he said.
Mr. Najib had previously been supportive of Muslim protests against the ruling. But government leaders warned they might employ the Internal Security Act, which allows for detention without trial, to ease the situation.
Many Malaysian Muslims say the term Allah is exclusive to their faith, and on Friday a few hundred held a noisy, though brief protest at a mosque in downtown Kuala Lumpur, chanting "Allahu Akbar," or God is great, as scores of police looked on warily.
"For non-Muslims to use this word is an unnecessary provocation," said Faisal Aziz, president of the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students and one of the protest organizers.
The Malaysian judiciary's main Web site, meanwhile, was hit by hackers shortly before the church attacks. A hacker calling him or herself "Brainwash" replaced the site's main page with a message warning non-Muslims to avoid using the term Allah, saying it is "restricted to Muslims only."
Political analysts say Mr. Najib is attempting to tread a fine line between wooing the support of Malaysia's large ethnic-Chinese and Indian minorities, who make up around 40% of the country's 27 million people, and maintaining the support of an ethnic-Malay majority that has become increasingly defined by its Islamic faith in recent years.
Mr. Najib needs the backing of minority groups to regain ground lost to the opposition in 2008's national election, when the ruling National Front lost its two-thirds majority in parliament for the first time in decades.
The High Court's decision on New Year's Eve, however, created a fresh fault-line between rule of law and a growing Islamist movement in a country long considered to be a moderate Muslim nation.
How Mr. Najib handles the controversy could determine whether he is returned to power in national elections that have to be held by 2013.
The court ruled that Malay-speaking Christians have a constitutional right to refer to God as Allah. The Malay language doesn't have an exact translation for the concept of one single deity, and Malays and indigenous tribes borrowed the term Allah from Arab traders in the 12th century.
Today, many Malay-speaking Christians from Sabah and Sarawak states on the island of Borneo frequently use the term, as do Indonesian Christians and Christians in Arabic-speaking countries in the Middle East. The word Allah itself predates Islam.
The worst of the damage from the pre-dawn church attacks was at the Protestant Metro Tabernacle Church in a Kuala Lumpur suburb. Its first-floor office was destroyed in the arson attack. Molotov cocktails were also thrown into the compounds of three other churches, including one belonging to the Catholic Assumption Church. The parish priest there, the Rev. Philip Muthu, said the church sometimes using the term Allah in some of its Malay-language services.

Associated Press
Since before Achilles dragged Hector's body around the walls of Troy, warriors have been desecrating the corpses of their vanquished enemies, whether to send a message or exact revenge.
And for just as long, they have known in their hearts it was wrong.
The video that surfaced this week of four Marines apparently urinating on three Taliban corpses has stirred outrage in the U.S. and beyond, but also focused attention on the brutalizing effects of war on those sent to wage it.
Reserve Marine Lt. Col. Paul Hackett, who teaches the law of war to Marines before they are sent off to Afghanistan, made it clear Friday that he was not condoning the Marines' actions. But he warned against judging them too harshly, saying: "When you ask young men to go kill people for a living, it takes a whole lot of effort to rein that in."
In the long history of war, the episode pales in comparison to other battlefield atrocities. But one difference this time was that, in the Internet age, it was captured on camera and instantly shared with the rest of the world.
"This outrage is so interesting to me because it almost tops that" of other, more ghastly war crimes, said psychologist Eric Zillmer, a Drexel University professor and co-editor of the book "Military Psychology: Clinical and Operational Applications."
The Geneva Conventions forbid the desecration of the dead, and officials in the U.S. and abroad have called for swift punishment for the four Marines, identified as members of the 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marines, which fought in the Afghan province of Helmand for seven months before returning to Camp Lejeune, N.C.
The prohibition against desecrating the battlefield dead is almost as old as war itself.
In Homer's "Iliad," the epic poem about the Trojan War, which may have occurred in the 12th century B.C., Achilles kills Hector and refuses to allow for a proper burial. He relents after Zeus sends word that Achilles "tempts the wrath of heaven too far" with his desire to "vent his mad vengeance on the sacred dead."
In the seventh century, Abu Bakr, father-in-law of prophet Muhammad and Islam's first caliph, issued 10 rules to his people for their guidance on the battlefield. Among them: "You must not mutilate dead bodies."
In 1907, the Hague Convention said that after every engagement, the combatants should take steps to protect the dead against "pillage." The first Geneva Convention in 1949 addressed preventing the dead from "being despoiled."
The history of war is replete with stories of atrocities committed to send a message. In the 15th century, Prince Vlad III of Wallachia struck fear in his Turkish enemies — and earned his gruesome nickname, Vlad the Impaler — by littering the battlefield with the impaled corpses of the vanquished.
Over the centuries, fingers, scalps and other body parts have been taken as battlefield trophies.
Nevertheless, Zillmer said the desecration of a dead foe is "taboo across cultures."
But, like Hackett, he said it can be difficult for soldiers, particularly members of a tight-knit group, to go on killing missions and then just "switch off." And he said the inhibitions against such misconduct tend to fall away as the number of participants increases, a phenomenon he calls "diffusion of responsibility."
Soldiers have long understood that savagery begets savagery — or at least breeds indifference.
On the very day the video from Afghanistan emerged, Sgt. Sanick Dela Cruz took the stand in a courtroom at Camp Pendleton in California and testified that he urinated on the skull of a dead Iraqi in 2005. Dela Cruz made the admission during the court-martial of a Marine charged in the killings of 24 Iraqis in the town of Haditha.
Dela Cruz said he was overcome with grief over a comrade killed by a roadside bomb. "The emotion took over, sir," he told a military defense attorney.
How would the country feel if it was the other way around.When you ask young people to go to war and kill other human beings don't be surprised when things like this happen.If it was the other way around you would see a picture of our young Marines laying in the street with their heads cut off and the Taliban standing over them with smiles on their faces. To all you people out there who are upset about this,put on a uniform,strap on a gun,leave your family and go across the world to a strange country,and have people try to kill you every day,and see how quickly you change your mind. Until you have been in a war,keep your mouth shut!!
War is brutal and usually the more brutal it is the sooner it is over. The irony is its OK to kill the enemy but don't pee on them
People who have not been in a war have no right to judge what happens...
Anything goes in war. Don't ask our protectors how they protect us, and don't ask what they may do to the enemy. Remember, the enemy is still the enemy. THANK ALL OF OUR PROTECTORS FOR A JOB WELL DONE.
"If it was the other way around you would see a picture of our young Marines laying in the street with their heads cut off and the Taliban standing over them with smiles on their faces."
So you'd be OK with that? Or is it only OK when we desecrate their bodies?
I've never served in the military, so take this for what it's worth. If you want respect, sometimes you have to be the better man and take the high road.
Well, being a veteran myself and seeing first hand what those towel heads have done to our men and women in uniform over the years, they should consider themselves lucky that those Marines ended their lives quickly and humanely. We have to live with what they did to us everyday and it won't get better. So what, they felt the urge to urinate. They just happen to Marines and NEED something to aim at. It just happened to be the foreheads or their dead ENEMIES. There are veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan in the US right now with horrifying scars, missing limbs, blindness, etc. from IED's, veterans who will never walk again, veterans who have PTSD and other mental issues. Do you see Afghanistan or Iraq court martialing the people responsible for destroying our veterans lives? NO...HELL NO! They probably celebrated! What about the service members who were beheaded? What about the female POW's who were sexually assaulted? Our Govt is so screwed up and so concerned with being PC, they'll punish our service members for doing LESS than what our enemy has done to our troops. The only reason they sent them to court martial is so they can tell afghanistan that they were punished for their actions. How many family members of deceased veterans or those who perished on 9-11-01, who given the chance, would do the same thing? I can say MOST OF THEM. ITS WAR PEOPLE! There is a lot that goes on that the media doesn't show you. This whole thing is CRAP! Those taliban fighters GOT WHAT THEY DESERVED! Atleast they can't hurt or kill anyone else. These politicians need to figure out that they can't run a war 10,000 miles away from their cushy office in DC. It still amazes me that very few politicians have even served in the military yet they tell the military what to do and want to take their pay cause they can't balance a budget. SMMFH! These politicians are PATHETIC!
