WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Elan Microelectronics Corp. this week announced that it had filed a complaint in the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) against Apple. Elan believes that numerous products by Apple infringe its patents and demands ITC to ban sales of nearly all products by the company. The lawsuit from the specialist in various screen technologies comes just weeks after Apple sued HTC for patent infringement.
The complaint alleges that Apple is violating Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, by importing its iPhone, iPod Touch, MacBook and Magic Mouse products into the United States, that infringe Elan's U.S. Patent No. 5,825,352. (the 352 patent). Elan also alleges that the importation of Apple's iPad products, which Apple has indicated will be available to consumers on April 3, violates section 337. Elan is requesting that the ITC issue a permanent exclusion order barring the importation of those products into the United States, as well as a cease and desist order barring Apple from selling any of these products in the United States that it has already imported.
"We have taken the step of filing the ITC complaint as a continuation of our efforts to enforce our patent rights against Apple's ongoing infringement, A proceeding in the ITC offers a quick and effective way for Elan to enforce its patent," a statement by Elan reads.
The ITC will decide whether it will institute an investigation within 30 days. If instituted, the ITC will set a target date by which it will complete the investigation and issue its final determination as to infringement and remedial orders. Elan is looking to the ITC for expeditious adjudication of its infringement claims.
Elan previously filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Northern California asserting the 352 patent against Apple on April 7, 2009 (case no. C-09-01531 RS). In that case Elan also alleges that Apple infringes Elan's U.S. Patent No. 7,274,353 (the 353 patent).
The 352 patent relates to touch-sensitive input devices with the ability to detect the simultaneous presence of two or more fingers. According to Elan, the 352 patent is a fundamental patent to the detection of multi-touch that allows for any subsequent multi-finger applications to be implemented.
In late 2008, Elan settled the lawsuit it brought against Synpatics over infringement of the 352 patent, resulting in a license agreement between the companies. That settlement was reached after the district court in California found that certain Synaptics touchpads included multi-finger detection methods that infringed the 352 patent. The court also issued a preliminary injunction against Synaptics, Inc. In reaching that decision, the court affirmed the validity of the 352 patent.

I ask because we may need it for the new GHBook otherwise we will need to pinch some cash from Forest Records. As it stands we may need to ask for £100 from their budget.

The European Commission this week approved under the EU merger regulation, following an in-depth investigation, the acquisition of the hard disk drive (HDD) business of Samsung Electronics of Korea by Seagate Technology of the U.S.
Although the merger will further consolidate markets that are already highly concentrated, the commission concluded that the transaction would not significantly impede effective competition in the European Economic Area (EEA) or any substantial part of it. The commission's examination showed that there are separate worldwide markets for hard disk drives based on their end use application (such as desktop computers, mobile computers, servers). The commission also identified a separate market for external hard disk drives in the EEA, which is downstream from hard disk drives.
The main impact of the transaction is on the markets for 3.5" desktop hard disk drives and 2.5" mobile hard disk drives where the investigation revealed that Samsung is not a particularly strong competitor. There would remain three strong suppliers on the 3.5" desktop market: Seagate, Western Digital of the U.S. and Japan's Hitachi Global Storage Technologies, and four strong suppliers on the 2.5" mobile market: Seagate, WD, HGST and Toshiba.
"With at least three suppliers, customers will retain sufficient possibilities to switch suppliers. The commission also found that the removal of Samsung is not likely to lead to a risk of coordination among the remaining HDD suppliers," a statement by the EC reads.
The commission found that the proposed transaction would not jeopardise the business of Japan's TDK, an independent supplier of heads for HDDs, as the merged entity will continue to buy a sufficient volume of components from TDK post-merger. Finally, the commission found that there would be no effect on the market for external hard disk drives in the EEA as non integrated suppliers of external hard disk drives would retain sufficient alternative sources for hard disk drives.
The Seagate/Samsung deal was assessed independently of Western Digital's proposed acquisition of the HDD and solid-state drives (SSDs) businesses of Hitachi GST which was notified one day later and is still pending.
Apart from the five HDD manufacturers there are also several non-integrated external drive suppliers such as LaCie, Freecom, Buffalo and Iomega, which depend on the HDD producers to supply them with HDDs.

Vision for the Program
The Foundations for Success Program is an important component of the University of New Haven's First-Year Success Center. We understand that the First-Year transition to a university setting can be both exciting and difficult. The purpose of this program is to aid in the successful transition of new students to the University of New Haven by connecting them with upper-class students who serve as role-models, mentors, and knowledgeable resources. The program consists of 3 components: a traditional academic course, personal mentor, and tailored monthly events to foster connectedness to the ease the transition into UNH.
What is involved?
In the classroom, students will receive the academic skills and tools to succeed at UNH, while being mentored by paraprofessional Success Captains, and socially immersed in monthly events that allow students to create life-long ties in the university community. The purpose of the program is to build a support system for each student that addresses academic, personal, and social needs. The Foundations of Success Program meets this goal by actively increasing student-to-student interaction, faculty-student interaction, campus involvement, familiarity with campus resources, and an overall engagement by creating a realistically applicable curriculum.
Who can participate?
First-year students will be invited on behalf of the First-Year Success Center, to participate in the Foundations for Success Program. The First-Year Success Center is located in Maxcy Hall Suite 106, Phone: (203) 479-4584.
Why should students participate?
The first year transition into a university setting can be exciting yet difficult for most students. All students can benefit from a mentor-led smooth transition into university life and pave the foundation for their entire UNH experience. Students will gain personal academic skills to thrive in and outside of the classroom as well as be exposed to the various forms of campus involvement. Students who take the early steps to form an academic and social support system at the University of New Haven tend to become and/or strengthen self-sufficiency and feel more confident towards successfully maneuvering through the trials and successes of university life.


text: "In every age Christians have sought to give expression to faith's vision of the beauty and order of God's creation, the nobility of our vocation as men and women made in His image and likeness, and the promise of a cosmos redeemed and transfigured by the grace of Christ. The artistic treasures which surround us are not simply impressive monuments of a distant past. Rather, for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who contemplate them year after year, they stand as a perennial witness to the Church's unchanging faith in the Triune God who, in the memorable phrase of St. Augustine, is Himself 'Beauty ever ancient, ever new.' May your support of the Vatican Museums, bear abundant spiritual fruits in your own lives and advance the Church's mission of bringing all people to the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ, 'the image of the invisible God,' in Whose Eternal Spirit all creation is reconciled, restored and renewed."

Unofficial DataVolley Stats * Official FIVB Stats
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 4, 2011) - Using a balanced offense of five double-figure scorers, the U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team defeated Brazil 25-22, 17-25, 27-25, 25-19 in scoring a key victory between the top two teams in the world on Friday to open the 2011 FIVB World Cup at Nagano, Japan.
The match pitted second-ranked Team USA against top-ranked Brazil for the fourth time in 2011, but this match held added significance since the FIVB World Cup is the first 2012 Olympic Games qualification event. The three teams reaching the World Cup medal podium on Nov. 18 will earn berths into the 2012 Olympic Games.
The U.S. used a 10-5 scoring run in the opening set to take a 13-9 advantage and went on to win 25-22. Brazil gained a 20-14 advantage in the second set with a 6-1 scoring run before scoring five of the final six points for a 25-17 victory. The Americans rallied from a 17-14 deficit in the third set to knot the score at 22-all, then saved two set points before capturing the victory 27-25. Team USA used a 4-0 run to propel to an 8-5 lead in the fourth set and never looked back in winning 25-19.
"First of all, I'm happy to have won tonight," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "I agree with Ze Roberto (Brazil head coach) that the level wasn't the best, but I'm proud of our leadership, especially their ability to compete with composure at the end of the sets when the plays needed to be made to try and help turn the match. Both teams applied a lot of service pressure and reception was good. It was a battle for a while and then things kind of broke down; it was wide open for a while, but very happy for my players for their ability to make a couple of plays when it counted and I think in the fourth set we held that advantage and performed at a better level."
Earlier this year, Brazil defeated the U.S. in a five-set match at the Pan American Cup on July 5 and in a four-set victory during the FIVB World Grand Prix Final Round pool play on Aug. 26. However, the U.S. came back to defeat Brazil in straight sets on Aug. 28 in the World Grand Prix gold-medal match.
The FIVB World Cup is a 12-team field competing in a round-robin format resulting in 11 matches over a 15-day period. The U.S. continues World Cup first-round action on Saturday against Serbia at 3 p.m. Japan Time (11 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday), followed by a Sunday contest against Korea at 6:20 p.m. Japan Time (2:20 a.m. Pacific Time). For the full FIVB World Cup schedule, visit the U.S. Women's tournament event page at usavolleyball.org/events/8883.
"Serbia's another strong team," McCutcheon said. "It's surprising that we would play the two strongest teams right at the beginning of the tournament, but that's the luck we have and we have to make the most of the situation. Serbia has a different style and tactics and we will do our best to play a good match tomorrow."
Destinee Hooker (San Antonio, Texas) collected a team-high 17 points with 14 kills and three of the Americans' six aces in the match. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) added 11 kills on 19 attacks and four blocks for 15 points. Logan Tom (Salt Lake City, Utah) chipped in 12 kills, one block and one ace for 14 points. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) contributed 11 kills and an ace for 12 points. Danielle Scott-Arruda (Baton Rouge, La.), playing in her first match for the U.S. since 2009, came off the bench to start in the third set and tallied eight kills on 15 swings and two blocks for 10 points. Scott-Arruda was named the match's most impressive player honor by the local organizers.
Heather Bown (Yorba Linda, Calif.) tallied two kills and a two blocks for four points, while Lindsey Berg (Honolulu) added three points with two kills and an ace.
"First, this tournament is the most difficult tournament of all over the four years, other than the Olympics, and to play one of the other best teams in the world in the first match is a struggle," Berg said. "Both teams probably didn't play their best tonight, but we're ecstatic to have gotten this win and will try to build on this. Now we're going to think about tomorrow and will leave this one behind."
Berg totaled 53 assists to set the U.S. to a 38.5 kill percent and .295 hitting efficiency (60-14-156). Meanwhile, Brazil converted at a higher 41.2 kill percent but its .294 hitting efficiency (63-18-153) essentially matched the Americans due to 18 errors.
"You have to understand the two teams are very close and the margins were very small," McCutcheon said. "We came out and did some things and they made some adjustments, and then the third set was a battle and we were fortunate to make a couple of plays at the end that changed the match. It could easily have gone a different way. Brazil is a very good team, and that was the difference – one or two plays."
Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) contributed a team-high 16 digs and 25 excellent receptions on 38 attempts. Larson provided 14 excellent receptions on 22 errorless attempts, in addition to 11 digs. Tom contributed the other 14 excellent receptions for the Americans on 26 errorless attempts.
"I don't think either team played their best because it's always difficult to get into your rhythm right away," Berg said. "For the USA, it's just continuing to get into our rhythm. We get better every game, so to come out of this game with a victory not playing our best is a positive for us. I see it only getting better for us. We also have three or four people on the bench who can perform and it's amazing to have that many people on the bench who can come in and win a game for us. Danielle Scott-Arruda came in and changed the game for us today."
McCutcheon started Berg at setter, Tom and Larson at outside hitter, Akinradewo and Bown at middle blocker and Hooker at opposite. Davis was the designated libero for the match. Scott-Arruda started the third and fourth sets in place of Bown. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) and Cynthia Barboza (Long Beach, Calif.) were subs in the first and third sets.
The U.S. out-blocked Brazil 9-5 and held a 6-0 advantage in aces. Brazil held a slim 63-60 margin in kills and limited its errors to 19 to the Americans' 23. The Americans produced a 60.5 excellent reception percent to the Brazilians' 58.2 percent. Brazil edged the Americans in digs 54-51.
Sheilla Castro and Fernanda Rodrigues each scored 18 points for Brazil in the loss, while Paula Pequeno added 11 points.
At the most recent FIVB World Cup in 2007, the Americans battled back from a two-set deficit to the South Americans to win in five. However, Brazil earned the 2007 FIVB World Cup silver medal and the Americans finished third as both qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games. At the Beijing Games, Brazil edged the Americans in a four-set gold-medal match.

Fatal crash in Watford City area
Obama declines invitation
North Dakota Congressman Kevin Cramer recently invited President Barack Obama to visit the state for the first time. Tuesday, Obama declined, according to Cramer's office.
We realize the state might not be politically vital to Obama, but putting politics aside, there is much to see in North Dakota, a state full of common sense, ongoing rapid economic growth and countless job opportunities while much of the country is struggling economically.
He could have visited any number of agriculture locations, from successful family farms to businesses that supply the state's farmers and ranchers with the machinery and technology to keep today's producers in business.
He could have visited, obviously, a host of locations in the Bakken oil field, where production continues to skyrocket as North Dakota's impact on the global energy markets continues to grow.
Obama could have toured large and small cities that are seeing population growth and booming business climates fueled by the energy industry, including cities like Stanley, Watford City, Williston and Minot.
A trip to Minot Air Force Base would also have been good for Obama, where he could have visited with the men and women at the only dual mission Air Force base in the country. Obama by a massive B-52 bomber would have made a mighty fine photo op.
Western North Dakota is making national and international headlines right now. It would have been a perfect time for the president of the United States to visit. Perhaps the president and his entourage could have enjoyed some scenic overlooks at Theodore Roosevelt National Park now that the partial government shutdown has ended. Maybe next time.

I know Rosen isn't the biggest Lebron fan, but thought his breakdown and analysis was well done here. Comments like:
That LeBron's defense remains unacceptably lackadaisical. That's he's virtually unstoppable on the run. Ditto when he can break free and dribble-penetrate in half-court sets. That, hopefully, he's still a work in progress.
At no time did he cut without the ball. On one possession he was even provided with a pair of sequential S/Rs but never a weak-side screen or a staggered screen. As it is, LeBron always has to start his offense from ground zero. This gives a defense — especially an evolved one like Detroit's — too much time to made adjustments.
Sooner rather than later, LeBron must learn (and be enabled) to play outside of the spotlight.

Join the Drucker School and Southern California Public Radio on Thursday, Feb. 13, for a Drucker Business Forum examining mindfulness - where business and the behavioral sciences intersect.
Leading the discussion will be Jeremy Hunter, assistant professor of practice at the Drucker School. Nick Udall, co-founder and CEO of nowhere, will join Hunter.
Innovation and creativity are understood as necessary skills for thriving in a dynamic economy, but what is often left out is the role of transforming the mind itself. Today's overwhelming challenges require leaders to move beyond "being effective" to fundamentally change themselves and how they see and relate to the world.
Don't miss this insightful conversation with Hunter and Udall as they draw on their personal and organizational skills to show how awareness, perception, consciousness - mindfulness – can lead to more purposeful, sustainable, and innovative organizations.
The event will begin at 8:30 a.m.at KPCC's Crawford Family Forum, 474 South Raymond Ave. in Pasadena. The event is free to attend, although RSVP is required.

Wood Shop
From i3Detroit
Shop Safety!
- Keep shop area clear of debris, cutoff pieces and other hazards.
- Wear Eye and Hearing protection at all time using woodworking power tools.
- Wear appropriate clothing. Tie long hair back, remove dangling jewelery, remove work gloves.
And Nick, take that doggone striped necktie off before cutting on the table saw. If we catch you doing that again, you're outta here. Nick - "Can I still cut with solid neckties?"
- Take your time. Accidents happen because someone is in too big of a hurry.
- Think about what you are doing. If something seems unsafe, it probably is.
Table Saw
The table saw is a great tool, but can be very dangerous if not used carefully.
- Ensure table saw in in good working condition. Top should be clean and smooth, the rip fence should be exactly parallel to the blade. Never operate the saw with the blade throat insert removed. Before you start your cut, note where the emergency stop button is.
- Ensure that your work is free of nails, screws, staples, stones and loose knots. These can damage the saw or become dangerous projectiles.
- Use a push stick to cut stock that is six inches or less in width.
- Think about what you are doing, and what will happen when the cut is complete. Will the work become unbalanced and fall? What happens to the offcut? Hint: Wedge shaped offcuts are extremely dangerous, and if they fall into the blade / throat area really bad things happen. (Been there, done that!)
- Always use the blade guard. Its there to protect you!
- Kickback is a particularly dangerous problem. What causes kickback is when the work or cutoff gets trapped between the fence and the moving saw blade and kicks back at the operator at high speed. Think blood, think gore, think cutoff and smashed fingers. All bad stuff
- NEVER use the miter gauge and rip fence at the same time. Its too easy for the cutoff to kickback at you. If you are making lots of repeat cuts, use a stop block reference at the aft end of the fence, or add a stop block to the miter gauge. If you don't understand this description, ask someone to assist. The one exception to using a miter gauge and rip fence at the same time is when cutting dados.
- No free hand cutting. Use miter gauge or rip fence with work held securely. Note: (one exception, cutting dados...)
- Cutting plywood is always troublesome. Best practice is to cut full sheets down to manageable 'rough' size. Later you can cut rough size down to finished pieces. It's just safer to work that way. Smaller sheets are easier to handle. If a panel is not too long in relation to its width, it can be safely cut referenced against the rip fence. (No more than 2:1 aspect ratio.) Panels too large for the rip fence or miter gauge should be cut using a clamp on cleat method, referenced to the edge of the table top.
- Don't release the work until the cut is complete. If something stalls, hit the shut off button, fast.
- When the cut is complete, turn off the saw. Don't lean over to pick up the offcuts until the saw blade is COMPLETELY stopped spinning.
Dust Control
- Do not vacuum any metal objects with dust-control machine, it must be used only for sawdust.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .

Bull, a well-known supplier of high-performance and mission-critical computing solutions, and CEA-DAM (the military applications division of the French alternative energies and atomic energy commission) have announced that their jointly built Tera 100 supercomputer had officially broken the petaFLOPS (PFLOPS) barrier, by recording a performance of 1.05 quadrillion (1015) operations a second in the Linpack benchmark test amid a peak performance of 1.25PFLOPS.
The 1.05PFLOPS performance means that the Tera 100 ranks as the most powerful supercomputer in Europe, and should also become one of the top 5 highest-performing supercomputers in the world in the new Top 500 list due on the 16th of November (if it was listed now, it would be the third most powerful supercomputer on the globe). The supercomputer is located in Essonne, France.
Tera 100 is a cluster of 4,370 bullx S-series servers, equipped with 17 480 eight-core Intel Xeon 7500-series processors. Its central memory features over 140 thousand memory modules, delivering a total capacity of 300TB. It features some 20PB of disc capacity, accessible at a world record speed of 500GB/sec.
According to Bull, the 83.7% efficiency rating of Tera 100, the highest among all the supercomputers in its class, and its performance clearly demonstrate the quality of the design work carried out by the teams from Bull and CEA-DAM (the Military Applications Division of the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission).
As a general-purpose production supercomputer, Tera 100 has been designed to run the widest possible range of computer simulation applications, so it is quite different from other machines dedicated to running specific applications. For example, Tera 100 is used to support the simulation program at the military applications division (DAM). It also stands out as a result of its high levels of availability and reliability, which enables it to be fully operational virtually 24 hours a day.
"Tera 100's proven performance clearly demonstrates the quality of the partnership between the CEA-DAM's teams and those from Bull in technologies that are vital both to State sovereignty and corporate competitiveness. This opens up the way for even more powerful systems, and for even greater co-operation in the design and development of the next generation of European computers; the Exa-scale systems that are expected to appear before 2020," said Jean Gonnord, director for numerical simulation and computer sciences at CEA/DAM.

ARTA isn't seeing reason
To the editor:
I have spoken on the issue of the rail-vs.-trail debate in the Adirondacks. Since then, I am baffled by the lack of compromise that Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates is showing. What is so evil about having a shared-use trail? Please explain this to me.
I question the claims of new jobs to serve the demand of the influx of tourists. Do any of you know how much a full-time bike shop employee makes? Ask the owners of Placid Planet what their projections would be if a rail trail were made. Which leads me to my next point.
Other than Lake Placid, where will people who are going to flock to this trail get their bikes repaired? There is no way a shop will just be opened overnight in Tupper Lake. Most cyclists can't even change a shifter cable these days on the integrated brake/shifter levers. Also, if you get on the trail at Tupper Lake and head south, where are you going?
Let's think about this. You can ride to my old house at Mount Arab Lake. It's pretty. But where do you buy a snack? Or drinks? I challenge most of the trail advocates to saddle up on a full-suspension mountain bike with me and ride the right of way from Tupper to Mount Arab and back. Pretty sure you'll be in for a shock.
Now down to the funding of the trail. The rails are worth very little other than scrap. They definitely won't be bought for reuse. If torn up, who pays for the removal, the regrading and the maintaining of the trail? The taxpayers. Also, I'm sure the massive tax revenues will afford the various agencies manpower, materiel and equipment to do the job properly and regularly.
If the rails stay, everyone seems fixated on passenger service and how it must be subsidized. Most likely, yes. However, if the corridor is reopened, what about freight service? Bulk goods could be brought in like oil, lumber, sand, salt, etc., and get hundreds if not thousands of large trucks off the roads per annum. Isn't that an improvement of the quality of life for all?
I hope that the corridor reopens for both passenger and freight, and I hope a trail can be alongside the rails. Not too hard to do. Also, the passenger trains could have whistle-stops to pick up or drop off users of the trail.
As to my knowledge of cycling, I have had a 22-year career as a competitive cyclist. I was at national team camps at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid as far back as 1990. I raced more than 2,000 events in those 22 years as well as rode more than 250,000 miles on the road alone. I have worked for bike shops, from sales and service to management, at some of the biggest shops in the nation, most recently Bicycle Sport Shop of Austin, Texas. So I have the industry experience and practical, rubber-on-the-road experience.
Compromise, ARTA. Do it. It can only help you and all of us. There are bigger battles to fight to preserve the 'Dacks.
Mike Jankowski

Ken Shin Kai meaning `The Association of Strong Heart, Mind and Spirit` was established in Portsmouth, Hampshire in 1985 under the direction of David Eayrs, after it had been running under the name of the Shudokan since 1970s. Ken Shin Kai practises the Yoshinkan style of Aikido, which is a hard, practical style that can be used to counter many attacks, Ken Shin Kai also incorporates the use of weapons to enhance the concentration and accuracy required to complete a successful Aikido technique. Weapons include; Bokken (Wooden Sword), Jo (4` Staff), Tanbo (Short Stick) and Tanto (Wooden Knife).
David Eayrs the founder of Ken Shin Kai, was born in Portsmouth, England. David was also a founder member of the British Aikido Board. David has studied Yoshinkan Aikido for over 45 years and was introduced to the Art of Aikido in 1963, whilst he was serving in the Army in Malaysia. David started practising with a small group of Malaysians and was then introduced to Shihan Francis Ramasamy who had been graded in Yoshinkan Aikido by the founder Soke Gozo Shioda. Close links are held with Malaysia and Aikido exchange trips are arranged every few years to share the knowledge of Aikido.
Sensei Garry Masters - 7th Dan, is the Principal Coach & Chairman of Ken Shin Kai and has been practising Yoshinkan Aikido for over 35 years and is also experienced in Iaido and Jodo. Garry is supported in his role by his Chief Instructor, Sensei Roger Bish - 6th Dan, who has been practising Yoshinkan Aikido for over 40 years, Sensei Malcolm Courts - 5th Dan and Sensei Richard Lewis who has been practising martial arts for nearly 50 years.
In his time as Principal Coach, Garry has obtained International recognition for Ken Shin Kai and all of its Instructors and students, firstly by establishing Ken Shin Kai as an independent Yoshinkan Aikido Organisation, recognised by the Headquarters for Yoshinkan Aikido Worldwide in Japan (AYF). Secondly by being Internationally recognised as the second highest Yoshinkan Aikido Instructor in the UK, holding the authenticated rank of 7th Dan Instructor in Yoshinkan Aikido, awarded by the son of the founder of Yoshinkan Aikido, Yasuhisa Shioda Sensei.
All Instructors have an average of 10 years teaching experience, hold governing body and internationally recognised qualifications, First Aid qualifications, insurance and have been CRB checked, to ensure that you have a safe and qualified environment in which to learn the martial art of Aikido.

Yoshinkan Aikido is a Japanese Martial Art taught to the Japanese Riot Police, which when used for self-defence can counter many different attacks. Learn to defend yourself by blending with an attackers power, dispersing his energy, and finally, throwing or controlling the attacker.
In Yoshinkan Aikido, the emphasis is on the study of fundamental movements and solid basic techniques as well as gaining philosophical insights into the conduct of life and human relationships. Yoshinkan Aikido as a martial art is non-competitive and non-violent. Cooperation and harmony are more important than aggression. Timing and control are more important than strength. With the development of solid basics, Yoshinkan Aikido provides means of self-defence without undue aggression.
Ken Shin Kai practises the Yoshinkan style of Aikido and is a Member of the International Yoshinkan Aikido Federation (AYF), headquarters for Yoshinkan Aikido based in Tokyo, Japan. The AYF is now run by Yasuhisa Shioda Sensei son of the founder of Yoshinkan Aikido, Soke Gozo Shioda Sensei.
Only those dojos and instructors registered with the Yoshinkan Hombu Dojo in Japan are permitted to use the name Yoshinkan. This means that all yoshinkan grades held by members of Ken Shin Kai are recognised internationally.

Most physical therapy programs across North America now offer doctoral degrees in physical therapy. Occupational therapy programs remain a master's level professional degree. Although various articulation agreements between undergraduate degree programs and professional schools may offer opportunities to gain early admission, Applicants to most undergraduate degree programs are expected to have completed a baccalaureate degree by the time they begin their professional training.
Entrance into a professional program is very competitive at this time. Even for those few schools and Christian colleges that do not require a baccalaureate degree, we strongly suggest that the student complete their Bachelor of Science degree and participate in the pre-professional programs at Wayland before applying. We suggest that a student pursue a degree with a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry or a double major. Also, two semesters of college physics are required by most professional programs.
Suggested Courses:
BIOL 2305 – Nutrition
BIOL 3408 – Human Anatomy and Physiology I

The 1976 Jefferson Nickel is very common since over 300 million were struck. Examples in circulated grades and up to about MS64 condition are common and can be acquired with minimal effort. Because of the weakness in the steps in the reverse, it is difficult to acquire in MS65 with Full Steps and less than 100 examples are known. In MS66 Full Steps it is difficult to find with less than a few dozen examples known. In MS67 Full Steps, it is extremely scarce with less than a handful of examples known and none being in finer condition.

What is it?
Tuesday Hack Night
is New Orleans' premier weekly gathering for programmers, designers,
hardware hackers, and other technically minded folks. It's an
aggressively unstructured way to hack amongst peers, converse about
the vagaries of this or that methodology of developmental arts, or
simply to partake of delicious libations in delightful company.
There's no agenda, no presentations, no requirements, and hackers and the hacker-curious of all levels are welcome to attend.
When and Where?
Our soirée happens
every week, on Tuesday, at 7pm!
We're generously sponsored by
a fine co-working space located at
643 Magazine St. Access to the gathering is via the
side entrance on Capdeville Street.
To gain entry, you must enter the secret knock, which is any knock on
the big glass window to the left the bar.
You'll also find a number of us either inside or outside of Capdeville, a purveyor of fine libations located just next door.
There are occasional special events and sponsored hack nights. If you'd like to ensure your punctual notification of such occasions, please join the meetup or register for carrier pigeon message service so that we might send you telegrams.
It's my first time! What can I expect?
Naught but merriment, hacking, and chatter from 20-40 of your
favorite kind of people, milling about between some handy desks, a
comfortable sofa, and the libation-purveying establishment next door.
You should feel welcome to come, sit down, and hack quietly amongst peers, or just as welcome to come, sit down, and argue about type systems.
Some of our most frequent members had a great experience when they first arrived with a question to ask: "What kind of database should I use for this project?", or "Why should I care about type systems?", or "I hear about this Ruby on Rails thing: how's it better than PHP?" These questions, and many more, can be answered for you by many of our attendees, often vigorously.
If you're shy, one of our fine greeters will be happy to introduce you to like-minded wizards of analytical enginery, or non-like minded, for the more pugnacious of you. Just walk up to one of these fine fellows and be greeted, and your first libation is on us!

LearnLab is pleased to be part of the Simon Initative at Carnegie Mellon University as well as a contributing member to the LearnSphere data infrastructure.
What is LearnLab?
LearnLab is a Science of Learning Center formally known as the Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center. Funded by the National Science Foundation, our center leverages cognitive theory and computational modeling to identify the instructional conditions that cause robust student learning.
Our researchers study robust learning by conducting in vivo experiments in math, science and language courses. We also support collaborative primary and secondary analysis of learning data through our open data repository, DataShop, which provides data import and export features as well as advanced visualization, statistical, and data mining tools.
To learn more about our transformative efforts to bring science of learning into practice, read our Knowledge-Learning-Instruction Framework.
The results of our research are collected in our theoretical wiki which is currently over 400 pages. It also includes a list of principles of learning which are supported by learning science research. The wiki is open and freely editable, and we invite you to learn more and contribute.

Research at LearnLab
LearnLab researchers are organized into four research thrusts:
- Cognitive Factors
- Metacognition and Motivation
- Social Communication and
- Computation Modeling and Data Mining.
Thrust members conduct research, hear and critique individual research projects and new research proposals, consider broad instructional principles that capture the results of research within LearnLab as well as by researchers around the world and develop the theoretical framework wiki. We invite you to contact our thrust leads and become an active part of this process.
Participate and Utilize LearnLab's Research Facilities
LearnLab's facilites are designed to dramatically increase the ease and speed with which learning researchers can create the rigorous, theory-based experiments that pave the way to an understanding of robust learning.
Managed jointly by Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh, LearnLab makes use of advanced technologies to facilitate the design of experiments that combine the realism of classroom field studies and the rigor of controlled theory-based laboratory studies.
LearnLab is a national resource for learning research that includes:
- Authoring tools for tutors, online courses, experiments, and integrated computational learner models
- Support for running in vivo learning experiments
- Longitudinal microgenetic data from entire courses and specific studies
- Data analysis tools, including software for learning curve analysis and semi-automated coding of verbal data.
We welcome and are always seeking external participants. Please learn about what we can do for you.
