Title: Beware the Online Translator
Body: Automatic translators have their purpose, but as any language teacher knows, they're not for doing your homework. Looking for a way to explain this to your students? Laura K. Lawless, Editor of About.com's French language site, put several of them to the test, putting in English phrases to be translated into French and then back into English. The results should scare anyone away from taking this route. http://french.about.com/library/bl-onlinetranslators.htm?nl=1

Title: Young Hispanic Leaders Program, June-July 2005
Body: From: http://www.joveneslidereshispanos.com/intro_eng.html The annual Young Hispanic Leaders Program was founded in 1998 at the initiative of the US-Spain Council (a private forum founded by U.S. and Spanish authorities to enhance relations between the two countries) and is sponsored by the Fundación Carolina. It is carried out with the collaboration of the Fundación José Ortega y Gasset and the Universidad Internacional Menéndez y Pelayo. The objective of this program is to allow future Hispanic leaders from the United States to familiarize themselves firsthand with Spain’s new political, economic, social and cultural environment. Since its founding, close to 90 young U.S. citizens of Hispanic origin have been chosen in a competitive selection process to participate in this program. This year the program will take place from June 24-July 3. For information on the academic content and the application process, visit: http://www.joveneslidereshispanos.com/intro_eng.html
