To enhance the care of patients with diseases of the nervous system through education, advocacy, and improved methods of diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.
The Canadian Neurological Society was established in 1948 and represented both neurologists and neurosurgeons. In 1965, the original CNS was dissolved and two new societies were created to represent these two distinct groups. The Canadian Neurosurgical Society was established to represent the neurosurgeons.
Today the Canadian Neurosurgical Society has approximately 300 members representing neurosurgeons and neurosurgery residents in Canada. The CNSS Board of Directors manages the business, initiatives and finances of the CNSS. The board also appoints CNSS member representatives to sit on various CNSF committees, including the Professional Development Committee and the Scientific Program Committee. The CNSS President and Vice-President also serve on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation (CNSF).
As a member of the Canadian Neurosurgical Society, you are automatically a member of the Canadian Neurological Sciences Federation. Learn more about the Benefits of CNSF Membership.

Hi, Im using the google docs viewer plugin that begins with short code [GDE ="URL TO DOCUMENT"]
Im designing a user area that requires a different document to load depending upon which user is logged in. I have created a field using CIMY extra user field plugin and added a field for the URL of the document associated with that user.
However i cant figure out how to call that field within the shortcode for the google viewer.
Ive tried using the PHP Execution plugin to echo the field but it doesn't work within the shortcode. Also CIMYs fields dont show up with the page/post content i can only echo them in template, but that is a separate yet related problem.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Do mitochondria use ATP in order make another ATP from glucose, or does it use another source of energy to convert glucose to ATP?
During ATP production through the citric acid cycle, some ATP is used to transport necessary molecules for the reactions.
In theory, one molar equivalent of glucose can generate 38 equivalents of ATP. The actual number is only 25 [1].

text: KO Dividend Yield data by YCharts Coca-Cola ( KO) Background: Coca-Cola Company engages in the manufacture, marketing, and sale of nonalcoholic beverages worldwide. The company primarily offers sparkling beverages and still beverages. Coke is the most common soft drink I came across in my travels to China. 52-Week Range: $33.28 to $40.67 Price To Book: 5 Earnings Payout Percentage: 52% Coca-Cola pays out $1.02 annually in dividend payments. The yield based on a recent price is 2.8%. In 2009, when many companies reduced or stopped their dividends, Coca-Cola not only continued distributions, but increased the amount. If history is our guide, the current 2.8% yield should be considered more of a starting point than future expectations. >>> Also see: The 10 Dumbest Things on Wall Street in 2012 Analysts like Coke, too. Over half the analysts covering Coke rate it as a buy or strong buy. The one-year return is 3.9%, and the average analyst target price for Coke is $42.38. Notwithstanding an ineffective stock split a few months ago, I believe Coke will continue higher. Short-sellers are next to impossible to find. Short interest is so low, it's below 1% of the float. If you want a winning long-term hold that will put a smile on your face this time next year, buy Coke and receive a dividend that will have you grinning from ear to ear.

- References
- Cited By
Observers rated the physical attractiveness of 74 defendants in criminal court, covering a broad range of offenses. Seventy-three usable cases were obtained. For 67 defendants (excluding those who had drawn "flat sentences" of 99–199 years), attractiveness was predictive of both minimum and maximum sentences (p <.001)-the more attractive the defendant, the less severe the sentence imposed. No significant relationship was found between attractiveness and conviction/acquittal, although seriousness of the crime was found to correlate negatively with attractiveness (p <.01)).
Race of the defendant showed a systematic relationship to punishment, with nonwhites drawing consistently more severe sentences than whites; a multiple regression analysis using attractiveness, race, and seriousness of crime as predictors of punishment yielded results which implied that this finding was largely due to a confounding of race and seriousness of the crime.

Shih-Hsing Huang 黃詩杏, Kindergarten Teacher
I've just finished my second education Masters from the Dominican University of California in May 2015. Before coming to America to study my Master degree, I taught 7 years as a homeroom teacher in public schools in Taiwan. When I go back to Taiwan for summer and winter vacations, I still work as a substitute teacher.
In addition to caring about students' grades, I also focus on social skills and emotions. I like to use dances, songs and interesting activities to help students learn as well as inspire their learning interests. I am very happy to a member of Yu Ming while I continue my teaching career.

Xinyi Rachel Xu 許昕怡, 3rd Grade Teacher
My Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood Education has given me a strong background of education policies and pedagogies. After earning a Master's degree in Teaching and Curriculum at Michigan State University, I have been teaching in language immersion programs in the United States science 2009. My crossculture education experience in both China and the United States forms the foundation of who I am today. I believe in the potential of every learner. What makes teaching so enjoyable to me is that it is also a learning process. My students are amazing and they motivate me to be a better teacher. My favorite thing about being a teacher is seeing my students smiling faces every day!

Lisa Wu, 4th Grade Teacher
Hi from Ms. Wu! I have been teaching in a self-contained Mandarin immersion classroom since 2013. Ever since I started teaching, I have been focused on getting to know my students and creating a sense of belonging, caring and self-worth in the classroom. "I walk slowly, but I never walk backward." My students will walk with me hand in hand on the life long learning path; the goal is to not only move forward, but also not to miss the scenery along the way.
Alice Kuang, 4th Grade Teacher
Hello, my name is Alice Kuang. I would like to thank for the precious teaching opportunity that Yu Ming Charter School gives me. I am very happy to share some of my little pieces of story of my life with you. I grew up in Canton (Guandong) China, and immigrated to San Diego with my parents in year 2003. Two years later, I got admitted by UC Davis, one of ideal colleges. In the first half of my undergraduate life, I did my chemistry study for years, and I was willing to serve as a doctor after graduation. However, as time went by, I gradually found that Chinese language was still my long-lasting passion, so I changed my major into linguistics and Chinese. I am excited to be the Mandarin teacher for our fourth graders!
Han Han 韩寒, 5th Grade Teacher
Ms. Han was born and raised in Hangzhou, China, on a cold snowy winter day. She moved to Beijing for high school and college, and then flew all the way across the ocean to teach Chinese immersion in the US Michigan, Illinois, and then California.

Renee Chang, 4th Grade Teaching Assistant
I was born and raised in a subtropical coastal city called Kaohsiung from the southern part of Taiwan. In 1992, I moved to the United States with my husband to pursue our "American Dream." Being raised as a traditional Chinese kid through my early adulthood, I have learned many important virtues that every Chinese values: persistent, patient, and hard work. Combined with my continued growth as a first generation immigrant, I have significantly expanded my value system with optimism, diversity, and sincerity. I believe in these values and practice them every day; I believe this will significantly benefit the children who I work with.
My career as an educator started in 2000. Prior to join the Yu Ming school, I was the math teacher and teacher assistant of the lower Elementary class at the Mission Montessori School at Scottsdale, Arizona; I was responsible for the teaching, planning and the design of the math curriculum for the first to third grade student as well as assist my colleagues to manage and maintain an attractive learning environment for the class.
I am very excited to be part of the family of Yu Ming. I believe my experiences and the values I practice will better prepare the young students I work with for a life long journey of success and learning.
Jie Song, 5th Grade Teaching Assistant
The only thing I'm sure about being an educator is: being simple, being natural and being happy. Bruce Lee puts it as "expressing yourself honestly, totally and completely", for me, learning and teaching are both a way of knowing ourselves, and then, fearlessly expressing our feelings to the outside world. As a teacher, I'll always remind myself to put teaching in heart. Teach with my heart, not mind. The heart communicates the best of all languages. If I have it in your heart, I will be a good teacher sooner or later. Curriculum design and classroom management can be polished through training and experiencing over time, but the discovery of my own teaching philosophy is the hardest part. It is a life-long project that can't be finished without the help and inspiration of my lovely students. I firmly believe in the life-long value of dual-immersion education: it helps our kids to be bi-lingual, bi-literate, and bi-social. That's why, I am here at Yu Ming, as the 5th grade TA, to learn from my wonderful colleagues, from all visionary parents, and most importantly, from my students.

Robin Chen 陳盈, 3rd Grade English Teacher
I was born in New York, but at the tender young age of two weeks old, I moved to Hong Kong. Raised by my grandparents from Chaozhou and Shanghai, I grew up speaking Cantonese and Shanghainese. At the age of 5, I moved back to the United States, where I immediately was immersed in both an English and a Mandarin learning environment. I pursued a double bachelor's in Chinese and Linguistics at Carnegie Mellon University, and then I earned my Master's in Teaching Chinese at Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey. Through my own diverse language learning and teaching experiences, I have a deep understanding of what it means to be bilingual and bicultural. I am excited to encourage the young learners at Yu Ming on their journey toward bilingualism!
Melanie Cardoza, 4th Grade English Teacher
I have been lucky enough to call the Bay Area home my entire life. I grew up in Livermore, where I attended public school from kindergarten through high school.

I had three amazing teachers who ignited my passion for education and teaching. After high school I received a B.S. in Organizational Communication from the University of Portland in Oregon. I received my multiple subject teaching credential from St. Mary's College in Moraga. I feel extremely lucky to a part of the Yu Ming community.

Jill Yee, English Reading Coach
After graduating from Colby College in Maine with a B.S. in Mathematics, I went to work in the corporate world. I started in software development and eventually transitioned to Project Management and put my slightly obsessive organizational skills to good use. I worked for a large consulting firm in San Francisco, but traveled all over the country. After ten years I was ready to settle down and pursue my love of teaching. I traded in long hours at the office for long hours grading papers and planning lessons. And I loved every minute of it. I received my California Teaching Credential (with CLAD emphasis) through St. Mary's College. I spent seven years in the Walnut Creek School District, teaching mostly second grade with a short time in fourth grade. After taking time off for my family, I'm so excited to be teaching again. And especially happy to be teaching at Yu Ming, a wonderful school where my two children are learning and thriving. I believe that an important aspect of successful teaching is trust. I work hard to get to know my students and their interests, treat them with respect, and set high expectations. I have seen the most hesitant learners make much progress within a safe, nurturing environment; and I look forward to joining such an environment at Yu Ming.

I am also equally passionate about providing a diverse, inquiry-based education. I love the whole child approach to education, and believe strongly in education rooted in social justice. I have worked at both the elementary and middle school level, so I love that I will be able to work with all ages at Yu Ming! I look forward to joining this community and continuing to explore the Bay Area!

"It's Time to Defeat Terrorism "

Romney is right to commend the Jews for their great culture of innovation and start up businesses which bring them success in the private sector. The Mozlem Brother terrorists of the PLO and Hamas teach their children about the Jihad war against Jews and becoming martyr for killing innocent Jewish women and children. Therefore the Jihad economy of the PLO and Hamas is based on the primitive Shariya laws that use re-distribution by the Mozlem Brother Messiah Obama from the American 'rich' to the terrorist poor. The terrorists economy is based on Obama financing the PLO and Hamas together with the UN as the terrorists in the refugee camps of Gaza are mostly parasites that live on the American taxpayer hard-earned money thanks to Obama who is obsessed with supporting them by all means.

So basically, it's fair game to criticize Israeli and Jewish culture in every way. Bring up the fact, that a culture that bans women from the workforce, stiffles free speech, and results in political opposition being thrown from roof tops has a few problems and your racist.

Romney has a problem with the truth, he doesn't lie. Unlike the current President who cannot tell the truth. Some times the truth will get Romney in trouble with Obama, and his hustlers. The rest of us find the truth rather refreshing.

They don't exactly have a very good track record.
And every time they try, Israel gets bigger.
Maybe next time Israel won't give the Sinai back.......

The "American People" are doomed. All want something for nothing, but as time goes on they can compete less and less on the international stage. Pi$$-poor education, no idea about the outside world, naive, gullible. Such people are easy to control. Yet, every last Joe Blow expects to live in a 3-bedroom house.
BTW, I am American, living in Europe.

To learn the scope of homelessness in St. Johns County -- and to obtain state and federal grants that assist those without shelter -- a census of homeless people will take place Monday.
This one-day count by the Emergency Services & Homeless Coalition of St. Johns County will, for the first time, go outside the St. Augustine city limits to count in West Augustine, Hastings, Flagler Estates, Elkton, Moultrie and Vilano Beach.
John Pauly, a doctoral professor of sociology, criminal justice and anthropology at the University of North Florida's Center for Community Initiatives, said he needed at least 100 responses to get a sound statistical picture.
"The whole point is to measure the number and needs of homeless people in this area," he told a score of people who plan to do the actual counting. "We also want to demonstrate to funding agencies what those needs are and justify funding requests."
The area has one emergency shelter in St. Francis House, and temporary housing provided by the coalition. But the coalition wants to cover the entire continuum of care, from emergency to transitional housing. That requires funding, and supplying accurate numbers will help grant applications.
Pauly, who has done survey counts in Jacksonville for four years, said a quarter of that city's 3,000 homeless sleep outside, with no shelter whatsoever.
He said the 10-page survey form was standardized so information from one jurisdiction could be compared with another.
"You don't encounter a lot of resistance or hostility, but I've had people get angry when I've asked particular questions," he said. "Most homeless people find it kind of an honor to be surveyed. They're glad you want to know their opinion."
Jacksonville gives respondents $5 each to answer the questions. The decision on whether to offer an incentive here has not yet been made.
In years past, St. Augustine counters estimated that about 300 people here are homeless.
The survey takers each have their own reasons for volunteering.
For example, Ruth Myers of Treasure Beach said she lives on the beach and sees places where homeless people sleep.
"I think the Homeless Coalition is one of the organizations in St. Augustine getting the least attention, but fulfilling the greatest need," she said.
Malinda Peeples of Armstrong agreed to volunteer when she was asked.
"We have a labor camp in our area and take food and leftovers there sometimes," she said. "They call me their 'angel of mercy' because they know I'm always bring them something."
Brent Monger of Jacksonville said he was unemployed from a foster care facility in Jacksonville, though he's since gotten a job as a drug counselor and case manager.
"I've offered my services to the homeless coalition," he said.
Cheryl Lawrence of St. Augustine said the Lord told her to volunteer.
"He spoke to me and told me to 'Go and set the captives free, go to the mentally ill and demon-possessed and bring salvation to them,' " she said.
Pauly said the survey takers would go in teams for safety, and that he expects the nation's soft economy would mean a boost in the number of homeless.
"Nobody's more anonymous, ignored or badly treated than homeless people," he said.

Want to save money? Check out the 2012 Volvo C30
By KBB.com Editors
KBB Expert Rating: 7.0
The 2013 Volvo C30 is an upscale compact carryall that blurs the distinction between hatchback and small station wagon. It is priced above the Mini Cooper and below the Audi A3, but looks nothing like them – or anything else on the road for that matter. Even its engine is unusual, being a turbocharged 5-cylinder that aims for 6-cylinder performance with 4-cylinder fuel economy. Inside, the C30 defies more convention with only four seats instead of the typical five. The C30's differences make it a stylish, fun-to-drive car for individualists.
If you want a stylish, solid and quick compact hatch with a premium feel that stands apart from just about everything else on the road, the C30 is an appealing option.
If you need to move more than four people and their gear, look to a slightly more spacious Audi A3, Volkswagen GTI, Mazda3 5-door or Honda Fit.
For 2013, Volvo continues to expand the trim-level offerings on the C30, adding a new Premier trim. Rain-sensing wipers and headlight washers are fitted across the line, and the Premier Plus trim gets new keyless entry and starting as well as active xenon headlights.
The 2013 Volvo C30 is quick, but not blazingly fast. Still, with a stated 0-60 mph acceleration time of about 6.5 seconds, the C30 has absolutely no problem getting up...
... to speed on the freeway. What the C30 really has going for it is a solid, planted, and ultimately safe feel that belies its small size. In base T5 form, the front-wheel-drive C30 offers bigger-car comfort, while the R-Design model has a tighter suspension for better cornering. Power level is the same for both models, though either can be boosted with the available Polestar Performance upgrade, which tunes the engine to 250 horsepower for noticeably more sizzle. Both models have a pleasingly quiet cabin. The seating position is comfortable, but for some people, the seatbelts have a tendency to creep up. Outward sightlines are among the best.
The C30's rear window looks great from the outside, and it's even better from within. Thanks to that long panel of glass flowing down the hatch, this Volvo provides astounding rearward visibility.
A turbocharged 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine gives the C30 a great balance of performance and efficiency, falling neatly between a smaller 4-cylinder and a larger 6-cylinder. And the turbocharger responds with almost no throttle lag.
If you've been in any recent Volvo, the C30's cabin will be instantly familiar. It's functional yet stylish, looking as sleek and angular as anything from an IKEA store. Two-tone leather seating is available, which helps give the C30 a premium look. R-Design models get extra garnishments like aluminum inlays and logos on the seats and steering wheel. In back are two – but only two – sculpted seats, roomy enough for adults. Behind the rear seats is 12.9 cubic feet of storage, which expands to over 20 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
A squat profile, deep curves, angular front and beautifully contoured rear make the
Volvo C30 a car that looks truly one-of-a-kind. Its defining feature is the lovely panel of rear glass stretching halfway down the car and differentiating it from all other hatchbacks. The window allows exceptional visibility outward, but also lets onlookers peer in, so owners would do well to keep valuables covered in the cargo bay. R-Design models get identifying cues such as a rear spoiler, larger exhaust tips and a smattering of logos. Base models have 17-inch wheels while R-Design editions roll on 18-inchers.
All 2013 Volvo C30 models come with a 6-speed manual transmission, cruise control and a 160-watt/6-speaker audio system with AM/FM/HD Radio, CD player and auxiliary/iPod/USB inputs. Also standard are steering-wheel-mounted audio controls, Bluetooth wireless connectivity with audio streaming, and – deep breath – a pollen filter. All current Volvos are backed by a 5-year/50,000-mile basic warranty and complimentary maintenance for three years/36,000 miles.
The new Premier package on the 2013 Volvo C30 adds a sunroof, power-adjustable driver's seat and cargo-area cover. Premier Plus brings power adjustability for the passenger seat, dual xenon headlights and LED running lights. The top-line Platinum package has a 10-speaker/650-watt premium sound system and navigation system with real-time traffic. Additional options include a 5-speed automatic transmission, climate package, blind-spot monitoring system, and the power-bumping Polestar Performance Package.
All Volvo C30s are powered by a turbocharged 5-cylinder inline engine that makes 227 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque across a wide rpm range. This means the car's power is readily available any time, and there is plenty of it. The standard 6-speed manual transmission has precise, if rather long, shift throws. The optional 5-speed automatic works well but lacks paddle shifters. Unlike many cars with turbocharged engines, this one can run on regular-grade gasoline. For drivers who want more power, the dealer-installed Polestar Performance Package retunes the engine to make 250 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. Gloriously, the Polestar performance boost does not affect rated fuel economy, emissions or warranty coverage.
2.5-liter turbocharged inline-5
227 horsepower @ 5,000 rpm
236 lb-ft of torque @ 1,500-5,000 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 21/29 mpg (manual), 21/30 mpg (automatic)
Note: The dealer-installed Polestar Performance Package increases the C30 engine output to 250 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. The fuel economy figures are not affected.

Great gas mileage, and where ever I go, the "Men" always are drawn to it and how sharp it looks. Just had it in for its annual detail and several couldn't believe it was a 2011 vehicle!

"If you are a person who loves a sport tuned chassis and appreciates a manual transmission, then you have to have this car! While it is small (coming from a Saab Turbo X and Saab 93X, both of which are 18" longer, but also fun to drive) if you put the back seats down, you can still fit 4 tires in the back, or a decent bit of luggage. Gas mileage could be a bit better considering the size of the car, but the T5 engine has plenty of power and beats the Saabs every time as far as gear ratios for climbing hills. Saabs beat the V30 in highway mileage though. Cornering is very nice, as this little rocket holds the road handily!"

"As a driver who typically leases for three years and then get bored or a car, my Volvo C30 keep on delivering. I have had Audi, BMW and VW leases and I am still glad this was the first car I have purchased and still drive. Great car, manual six speed that get me easily through the northeast weather. As a commuter, I need my car to bring me to work and the C30 still keeps me interested."

"This is my second car that I've owned and I can't think of any other car to replace it. It's different and a head turner, not everyone I meet likes it, but I do and so do most people. Mine is a manual, and it shifts very smoothly. My top speed...so far ;)...is 115 mph haha. I love my car and it reflects my personality perfectly!"

How can I place the comments box manually as I am not satisfied with the way its placed manually. I need to place it below certain elements in the single post page.
How can I place the comments box manually as I am not satisfied with the way its placed manually. I need to place it below certain elements in the single post page.
You'll need to edit the code. If you have suggestions based on how other plugins do it, let us know. Thanks
To customize positions in your template without altering the plugin core; what you can do is disable Facebook plugin's main init filter which automates the whole sequence, and custom manage each widgets/hooks in your theme.
Put remove_action( 'init', 'fb_apply_filters' ) in your theme's functions.php, then apply each filters (or just echo each functions) individually in your templates.
For example, you can do:
<?php if (comments_open() && isset($fb_ver) && isset($options['comments']['enabled'])) echo fb_comments_automatic(''); ?>
to insert the comments where ever you like, instead of "in the_content() filter".
You'll find the list of functions and default filters in the fb-social-plugin.php file for reference.
That's how I decided to deal with it, to have more flexibility, yet have the benefits of an untouched plugin, which can be updated safely. At least for minor versions.
Down the road, major plugin updates could affect your theme here and there, and/or require a few adjustments for new features. But at least, it prevents from having to touch the plugin at all, and still benefit of its overall functionality and fixes.
I hope it help others too.
Matt, would have to have an option to hide the comments not only on certain pages as well as the other buttons.
As you requested a plugin here is a sample:
Matt: Most of the plugins provide a method to implement the comments box using a shortcode which is highly preferred by the developers as it gives the ability to include the box where we want. I am currently using the http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-awd/ plugin which provides the ability to add the comment box using a shortcode. I am sure the rest will prefer the same way as well.
B: Thank you for the method. I will give it a shot when I get some time and will let you know how it works out. That is the most important point I decided to use the official plugin as well so that it doesnt interfere with anything and works as it should. A non touched plugin.
Also Matt,
Every time one finds inefficient code like this. God kills a kitten!
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/fb-activity-feed.php');
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/fb-recommendations.php');
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/fb-like.php' );
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/fb-send.php' );
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/fb-subscribe.php' );
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/fb-comments.php' );
require_once( dirname(__FILE__) . '/fb-recommendations-bar.php' );
An instead of:
if ( array_key_exists( 'comments', $options ) && array_key_exists( 'enabled', $options['comments'] ) && $options['comments']['enabled'] )
How about:
if ( isset($options['comments']['enabled']) )
Needless to say:
array_key_exists( 'enabled', $options['comments'] )
is the the exact same thing as:
Come one guys. This is utter redundant fail!
WordPress is already a bloated pile of repetitive code with its countless inefficient plugins. Let's not keep piling needless junk code on top of it please.
That fb-social-plugin.php file alone could be twice as efficient and small, as it is now.
I followed what you said I inserted the code in the desired position but Facebook comment is not showing up.
I add this code to function.php
remove_action( 'init', 'fb_apply_filters' );
And add this to single.php
<?php if (comments_open() && isset($fb_ver) && isset($options['comments']['enabled'])) echo fb_comments_automatic(''); ?>
I also try
<?php echo fb_comments_automatic(''); ?>
But its also not working.
Any suggestion?
Sorry, I forgot to mention that $options is for get_option('fb_options');
You can do this instead:
<?php if (comments_open() && isset($fb_ver) && ($fb_options = get_option('fb_options')) && isset($fb_options['comments']['enabled'])) echo fb_comments_automatic(''); ?>
Though keep in mind that this will ignore the "Show on" post types selection which was later added with revisions 1.0.x.
And don't forget you might also need to add the other filters manually in your functions.php, such as fb_hide_wp_comments or fb_get_comments_count, etc... which are normally called within the fb_apply_filters() function.
Thank you for your quick response and helping hand. But I am afraid to say, I don't know how to apply fb_get_comments_count and fb_hide_wp_comments filter in function.php
so I put the new code in the desired area and it is showing this error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function fb_comments_automatic() in /..../public_html/wp-content/themes/nbee/single.php on line 1
If fb_comments_automatic() is undefined; your plugin is likely not activated...
While the code I gave you should work for just displaying comments. It's not a complete implementation... It seems like you probably shouldn't try and do this without the adequate php/wordpress hooks knowledge.
My hint was directed at someone who can understand the fb_apply_filters() hooks in the fb-social-plugin.php. Without that, it's a little too complicated for me to assist you with details.
The above won't work with the latest version, because the 'geniuses' at Facebook decided to change everything with the new version 1.1.x, which is not backward compatible.
So just think twice before updating the plugin beyond 1.0.2!
Nods @jbx, I personally managed to upgrade but figuring the drastic changes was a PITA.
Sadly, Niall now made it impossible to easily remove the "new" public_init filter/sequence and customize it, so I can't really help with any easy solution.
For savvy phpers who need a hint... Now the only "wp like" solution one could think of is to remove the filters() used in Facebook_Loader::public_init(), then call the Facebook render functions for what you need, directly in your template...
In my case, since I don't want the css bloat of any plugins, and because I now use my own custom javascript async loader, I opted for extending the current Facebook_Loader class with my own custom init process, taking advantage of the new oop structure for that. But I can't go in details there.

GladRags can be found in health food stores and natural pharmacies nationwide. We invite you to learn more about our commitment to sustainability here.
Our mission is to provide high quality sustainable menstrual products and empower women by positively transforming the experience of menstruation.

Tracy: Fearless Bleeder
Tracy was hired at GladRags in 2009 and quickly discovered her knack for the period business. In 2011, she became the owner of the company at just 24 years old. When taking a break from changing the world one pantyliner at a time, Tracy can be found reading, watching 90s sitcoms, playing with her nieces, or telling people to look at how cute her cats are being right now. Seriously, look at how cute they are.
Meagan: Director of Customer Happiness
Whether you're emailing us with a question or calling to place a GladRags order for your retail store, Meagan is here to help you have a happy experience! Meagan is often accompanied to the office by her three small dogs, and has been known to carry over twelve tubes of lipstick in her purse at one time. Outside of the office, she can be found infusing bourbon and practicing her enviable make-up skills.
Eliana: Shipping Superstar
We ship a lot of cloth pads and menstrual cups, and Eliana is in charge of making sure they all make it to their final homes safe and sound!

When she's not at GladRags, you'll find her perfecting her homemade pizza recipe.
Roger, Riggs, & Penny: Chief Executive Arf-ficers
These three pooches bring a much needed canine presence to the team. Though Roger is wary of jazz music and elephants, nothing else gets in the way of his dedicated daily begging and finding the best heat source he can curl up next to. Riggs, on the other hand, takes a more direct managerial hand, leaping into unsuspecting laps for impromptu meetings (also: neck scratches) and making sure we meet the daily treat ball quota. And Penny just doesn't stop moving.
Anna: Chief of Making Us Look Good
If you've ever seen an ad for GladRags, you've seen Anna's work! A design pro with her own one-woman studio, she's in charge of making things pretty. She loves animals and has a small army of furry creatures that we hope she will only use for good. Anna has been to almost every state in the U.S. (Hawaii is next) and will kick your butt when it comes to 80s music trivia.
Kelli: Marketing Mama
By day, Kelli is a social media maven cracking period jokes on the GladRags Facebook. By night, she's a ukulele-playing, costume-wearing, Pacific Northwest explorer. Kelli is the whirlwind behind Mamore Communications, where she expertly tells the stories of your favorite small brands. Kelli has two awesome kids and an orange cat named Buffalo Sauce. We have no idea what her natural hair color is, but we're pretty sure this isn't it.
Brenda: Fairy Godmentor & GladRags Founder
Pictured here with hubby Bruce at the GladRags 20th anniversary party in 2013, Brenda is an inspiration to the younger generation of menstrual revolutionaries. Although Brenda's no longer officially part of GladRags -- she's moved on to pursue her blossoming art career -- she'll never be out of our hearts! There for us when we need advice, moral support, or just a happy hour cocktail with a good friend, Brenda will always be an honorary GladRags team member.

Automobile manufacturers face a mysterious dalliance by Google with the industry as the search giant remains committed to helping develop technology to create self-driving cars. While a Googlemobile is not on the radar, companies such as GM, BMW (BAMXY.PK), and Audi (VLKAY.PK) plan to move ahead with development to stay a step ahead. Working against the concept: Tough government regulators and drivers who still remember the Blue Screen of Death that showed the infallibility of software quite regularly.

Actually it perfectly possible to write software with very few bugs. However, no one really wants to spend that amount of money and time required. I know, I've done it. It took 18 years to find the first bug in some embedded software used in the medical industry and it was a simple copy/paste bug.

It has worked a total of 4 times. Apparently, when you embed a URL, it has to communicate with the Embedly servers to receive some code back.
80% of the time, when you put in a URL and hit the "preview" (required before "Embed this URL"), it just churns. Contacted support twice. The first time they said their server may be overloaded, but that they recommended, also, to no use an IP filtering (you can filter by IP or referrer to add security). So, I embed my first 2 URLs, worked fine.
Then, didn't work for two days. I contact support (1st time) they give me the info as mentioned above. I don't actually do anything but go try again, this time it worked, I added two more URLS. Two nights later, it's not embedding again. Email to support hasn't had a response yet.
Too bad, it works great when it works, but being able to embed only 20% of the time doesn't work. And they charge between 20.00 and 2000.00 a month?? No way.

A few years ago my friend sent me a link to a site that was titled Bang Bus. He said it was the greatest porn website ever. Of course being a depraved, perverted sociopath I went to the site only to leave with utter disgust and disappointment.
The premise of the site is that these guys drive around in a van and pick up these random hot girls who they convince to have sex. After their sexual escapade in the van they drop the girl off at some random destination that wasn't where she was going and speed away at the girl. Not paying her the money they promised or leaving her stranded in some ghetto or something.
Now my problem isn't with the cruelty at the end of the movie. My problem is that it is fake, which is totally disappointing. Plus after watching a few, fine I mean ALL of them the premise got really old after awhile.
So I would like to propose to the people at bang bus (I also believe that they run the MILF hunter website as well) to expand on the sex and ditch philosophy and take it to new levels. I would like to take this time to over up some different spec scripts to them, these would be the pitches I would make to them if they would take the time to meet with me.
The International House of Pancakes
My proposal: The guy is sitting in the booth with his camera man when he calls over the waitress and tells her that is sausage is cold. She offers to warm his sausage and they begin to have gratuitous sex right there on the table. The entire time he is having sex with her he keeps telling her he is going to up the percentage of her tip he starts out at the common 15 percent and raises it as the sex session increases. Finally at the end he drops a load in her face and they run out of the International House of Pancakes doing a dine and ditch screaming, "Your tip is to warm the sausage in the microwave instead of your vag, seriously I was hungry not horny."
The DMV
My proposal: We contact the DMV and see if we can set our sex stud up as one of the people that administer the eye test. When the girl we want comes our DMV plant will begin to administer the eye test. While he is doing the eye test he decides to whip it out and ask her if she can see what letter he is pointing at. Hopefully she will say it is a giant P, if not the scene will be ruined. Because the follow up line from our DMV plant would be, "And I want to give you a big O." Actually too much hinges on the ability of this girl to talk dirty, maybe we should scrap this.
The Professor
My proposal: A female student enters a professor's office and debates about her grade. She asks if there is anything she can do to raise her grade? All of a sudden she decided to seduce the professor and makes a move. The two go at it all over the office climaxing in a hot oral sex scene with him shooting his potential love children all over her eyes. As she begins to get dressed she asks if she is going to get a better grade to which the professor replies, "Yes I am going to give you an A. Of course I probably will also be giving you an H an I and V as well." The girl stumbles off crying as the professor laughs and calls the next student into his office.
You know what? Maybe I am not cut out to write porn for bang bus. I guess that is just another thing to add to the list of things I suck at.
Things I suck at:
-goal tending in ice hockey

Economic Growth and Cycles in Latin American Countries in 20th Century
In this paper we analyse the evolution of economic growth and economic fluctuations in Latin American countries during the 20th century, with special emphasis in the period 1951-2000. We compare the economic fluctuations and the evolution of GDP, Population and GDP by inhabitant of these countries with OECD. We include an econometric causal analysis explaining this evolution. We also analyse causes of coincidences and discrepancies among countries of this area and a comparison with economic fluctuations in OECD countries. The conclusions suggest some economic policy recommendations for international organizations and governments in order to improve the economic performance of Latin American countries in future, having into account the main difficulties that restrict their possibilities of sustained growth and stability.
