       To: Foreign Languages Department-Book Recommendation Dear Colleagues, This is Fernando L. García. I am a language instructor and author of guidebooks. Would you please allow me to recommend you my new guidebook MODERN SPANISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE. It is for English-speaking students in language courses. And, it covers every aspect of Spanish language . I kindly encourage you to consider this book for your Spanish Language Programs. I firmly believe that the students will benefit from its pages, for it will help them to improve their academic performance. Because the students will be required to take examinations in the language, we developed this book to assist them in approaching these important tasks in an organized way. Please visit Publisher´s website: http://sbpra.com/FernandoLGarciaP See Contents at: Amazon. com And at: Google books.com If you need further information, please let me know. Would you please forward the attached file to the bookstore, if possible. Thank you for your kind attention and professionalism. Best regards, Prof. Fernando L. García: fernandolgp@prodigy.net.mx Author

       The military service academies contribute only about 20 percent of the officer corps in any given year. Are they worth the $400,000 or so they cost taxpayers per student? And do they produce the superior caliber of "leaders" they claim to -- as opposed to those produced by college ROTC programs and Officer Candidate School? Is there an alternative role they could be playing?

"DISA and our cyber partners, including the National Defense University, have really important roles in helping to augment that training and setting some of those standards," said Henry Sienkiewicz, DISA's vice chief information assurance executive.
