Please take a moment to view the link "The Gratitude Campaign." http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/fullmovie.php <https://webmail.admin.spcollege.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.gratitudecampaign.org/fullmovie.php> 

I have had discussions with the author, Scott Truitt, about the accuracy of the sign "THANK YOU" shown in this video.  He was told by a retired professor at the University of Puget Sound that what is used here means, "Thank you from the bottom of my heart."  I have offered to get feedback from reputable groups as to the accuracy of this sign.  If you would prefer to respond off list, you can email me at carlsonbeth at spcollege.edu.  Thank you in advance for your input.

Please note the following post-doc opportunities for American
citizens at the Center of Language Sciences (University of
Rochester). We're looking for two outstanding post-doctoral
researchers that would be interested to join our vibrant research
community as part of an NIH training grant (usually for 2 years).

Jeff Runner, Mike Tanenhaus, and Florian Jaeger

===============================================================

Post-doctoral fellowships for language-research (CLS, UofR)
   http://www.bcs.rochester.edu/cls/people.html

The Center for the Language Sciences at the University of Rochester
seeks one or more outstanding postdoctoral fellows for a NIH-funded
training grant. The Center brings together faculty and students with
interests in spoken and signed languages from the Departments of
Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Computer Science, Linguistics, and
Philosophy, as well as the interdepartmental program in Neuroscience.
We encourage applicants from any of these disciplines who have
expertise in any area of natural language.  The training faculty has
combined expertise in formal, behavioral, computational and
brain-imaging approaches to understanding the structure, processing
and acquisition of natural language, and we encourage applicants who
work in any of these areas. We are particularly interested in
postdoctoral fellows who want to contribute to an interdisciplinary
community.

This year, in addition to the areas mentioned above, we welcome
applicants whose research interests include using or learning to use
experimental techniques to investigate the formal syntactic and
semantic properties of language structure and how they interact with
or affect language processing.

NIH fellowships are open only to US citizens or permanent
residents.  Applicants should send a letter describing their graduate
training and research interests, a curriculum vitae, and arrange to
have three letters of recommendation sent to: Professor Michael K.
Tanenhaus, Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences, Meliora Hall,
University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627-0268.  Electronic
applications are encouraged.  Please send electronic applications to
mtan at bcs.rochester.edu. Review of applications will begin on March 1
and continue until the positions are filled.  Applicants should have
defended their Ph.D. thesis by June 15, 2008. The start date is flexible.
