How Key Decisions In Copyright Cases Can Impact The Pace Of Technological Innovation
from the don't-underestimate-the-importance dept
In reaching this conclusion, the court placed utmost importance on certain technological designs such as the use of an individual antennae and copies unique to the individual. The court also made clear that Cablevision's holding was not confined to particular, pre-approved technologies: "[W]e see no support in Cablevision or in this court's subsequent decisions for the Plaintiff's argument that Cablevision's interpretation of the Transmit clause is confined to technologies similar to the VCR." Aereo, 2013 WL at *11.And yet, he notes, this clarity and ability to invest and to innovate may be at risk. As we noted at the time, the stunning dissent in the Aereo case actually indicated that designing a system to be within the clear boundaries of the law as explained in the earlier case should be seen as intent to infringe. That's a rather incredible interpretation when you think about it. Following the explicit nature of the law should be seen as trying to subvert it? Talk about a way to chill innovation. If that became the law, the chilling effects on innovation would be tremendous. Not only would innovators be fearful of creating new services that might be sued for infringement, they wouldn't even know how to make sure their technologies were considered legal, due to a court system that explicitly argued that any attempt to obey the law may be seen as an attempt to subvert it!
This rejection of a technology-specific reading of Cablevision should be heartening to cloud service providers. The reliance of cloud service providers on Cablevision is hard to overstate. After the Cablevision decision, the average quarterly investment in cloud computing in the United States increased by 41 percent. By one estimate, the certainty provided by Cablevision led to an additional incremental investment in US cloud computing firms of anywhere between $728 million and $1.3 billion in the 2 and 1/2 years following the decision. As the Second Circuit observed in Aereo, "many media and technology companies have relied onCablevision as an authoritative interpretation of the Transmit Clause. One example is cloud media services, which have proliferated in recent years."
Meanwhile, other courts seem to be attacking these basic principles, which may result in more stifling of significant innovation and investment. We've avoided covering what's now called either the "AereoKiller" or "BarryDriller" cases, because the service, which used to be known as FilmOn, seems much more focused on doing stupid promotional stunts, rather than something serious. His lawsuit against CBS, as well as changing the name of FilmOn to AereoKiller/BarryDriller, highlights the sort of focus that David seems to have. And, unfortunately, when you have someone more focused on publicity stunts and acting like a clown, rather than mounting a serious legal defense, you get bad rulings. AereoKiller is a somewhat similar service to Aereo, but may actually end up killing Aereo and a ton of other important innovations, not because it's better/more innovative, but because it's mounting a horrible defense on a similar issue, and has already lost at the district court. The impact on innovation could be huge. With a split decision and concerns about Aereo's future success, investment in key innovations, including various cloud services, may be held back, while other countries continue to invest in such companies.
It's incredible that we have a legal process, and a tool in today's copyright law, that is being actively used to scare off key investment in new innovations at a time that we should be much more focused on innovation.

The freshness is a major part of a site in my opinion, and it fails here, but the huge list of bonuses help.
Content Amount: The numbers are not only small from this installment, they barely break double digits. That wouldn't be such a worry if it were one of their newer installments, but the dates show all went up nearly 2 months ago, and nothing new has been added since.

Post-Acute Care
Post-acute care is provided to those who are recovering from illness or suffering from a chronic illness. These residents most often come to us from a hospital, and we work with a range of medical care services to continue their recovery. This recovery often involves physical and occupational therapy.
Our post-acute care program helps to improve the transition from hospital to home.
We work with nursing and physician services, rehabilitation, social services, life engagement activities, and nutrition for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to overall health and wellness. We strive to address both the physical and emotional needs of each post-acute patient, and we understand transitional times can be challenging.
We help administer medications and monitor vital signs. We also work to help each resident perform daily, routine tasks such as:
- Eating
- Bathing
- Dressing

The young may be understandably incredulous, but the Great Compression, as economists call it, was the single most important social fact in our country in the decades after World War II. From 1947 through 1973, American productivity rose by a whopping 104 percent, and median family income rose by the very same 104 percent. More Americans bought homes and new cars and sent their kids to college than ever before.
Since those not-so-long-ago days, American productivity has continued to rise, but American wages have fallen. It is no accident that corporate profits make up a higher share of the US Gross Domestic Product than they have since the mid '60s, while the share going to workers is at its lowest since 1947 (when measurement began). Meyerson quotes Goldman Sachs economists who report that "'the most important contributor to higher profit margins over the past five years has been a decline in labor's share of national income.'" "Globalization" can take some of the blame for the degradation of American workers' wages and benefits, but only some: as Meyerson points out, "productivity gains have outpaced median family income by 3 to 1" since 1973.
"Globalization," in any event, is not a force of nature; it is a deliberate and highly successful strategy to undermine the power of American Labor through ruthless exploitation of powerless workers outside the US. American multi-national corporate employers commit globalization; it doesn't just happen. And maybe it wouldn't happen in the form it has taken, at least not without more resistance from the American public, if it weren't for another change since the mid-20th Century alluded to by Meyerson: a "generosity of spirit" that made both the Civil Rights movement and the Marshall Plan (I would add, the Great Society) possible. It seems to me that that generosity (qualified as it was) has been replaced, through the assiduous efforts of the mainstream media in service to the political right, by a cramped paranoiac suspicion of the world around us. (We always thought we had enemies, but now it seems we have no friends--no human ones, anyway). Our corporate masters steal from us all alike and in plain view, but we are too distracted by the shadowy human boogey-men we see on TV--undocumented aliens, single mothers, drug addicts, terrorists, greedy trial lawyers, taxes--to notice. We have to close our borders, build and fill prisons, check IDs, slash welfare, raise armies and drop bombs, or they will get us. Generosity, hospitality, cooperation, it seems, are too dangerous, too expensive, and naïve to boot.
Meyerson correctly says: "Devaluing labor is the very essence of our economy." Devaluing humankind generally makes devaluing labor, and the exploitation of everyone who has to work for a living, easy.
Happy Labor Day.

Accepting personal responsibility
Choices and the consequences for those choices – good or bad – leap to our minds from media accounts, and the experience of friends and family. If we make a right choice and obey God's Word, we are likely to enjoy the outcome. If we continue to make poor choices, then we will not find ourselves very happy. It is a pretty simple formula, but many never get it in their entire lifetime. They keep on making poor choices and keep on paying the consequences.
One definition of insanity that has long made the rounds is "continuing to do the same thing in the same way and expecting a different outcome." Some Christians act "insane" at times or at least portray an indifference and poor attitude toward the things of God.
Many of us make the choices that "feel good" at the moment or bring us popularity in our peer groups, or make some quick money, but paying the consequences is an entirely different matter, and often we blame God for our pain and our circumstances. We need to grow up (as Christians and as human beings) and understand this principle.
An example we've been hearing a lot about on our Houston news is the account of Jessica Tata, a Nigerian immigrant who came to America, opened a daycare, and decided to leave seven small children sleeping with a pot of oil on the stove while she went to shop at Target. When she returned, the Houston Fire Department was on the scene and her home, which housed the daycare, and everything in the house were engulfed in flames. Four precious children died in that fire and four families were immediately hurt to the core, not even counting the grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, neighbors and friends whose hearts are breaking. What should be her consequences? She was 22 years old, supposedly trained in daycare and making a good living when you hear how much the state was paying her, and yet she did not exercise the care that should be afforded a young child.
Instead of stepping up to the plate and admitting a terrible, life-altering mistake, Tata, by all accounts from law officials and the news media, has chosen to flee the country. She is said to have flown back to Nigeria and is in hiding while U.S. Marshals lead the manhunt for this woman. In all likelihood, her young life will be spent running, and these families will never be the same.
"Responsibility" is one of those words we have probably heard so many times from authority figures that we've developed a bit of an allergy to it. Still, it is one of the most important words and philosophies we will ever learn in life. Without it as a foundation, nothing else will really work properly.
Here is what we should learn and learn well. There is always a price to pay. Not assuming responsibility for our choices may be less demanding, less painful, and mean less time spent in the unknown. It's often more comfortable. We can just "take it easy" and blame any problems in our lives on someone else. But there is always a price to pay. When we don't take responsibility for our lives, we give away our personal power.
When taking responsibility for our actions is difficult to accept, we experience several different things. One of those primary feelings is that of insecurity. Many loud blowhards are really very insecure. They cannot or will not accept responsibility for their choices and actions, so they bellow. Insecurities trigger doubt about our abilities, which then works to undermine our self-confidence and our self-worth. In this state of mind and with this thinking, we have a very high need to be right at all times to compensate for what we feel is lacking in our lives. We defend our every action, right or wrong. It compounds the already existing problem of being unable to accept personal responsibility and it reinforces this behavior even more.
Once you condone this habit of not accepting responsibility, our character slowly becomes transformed. We may not even realize it is happening, but it is, and others can see it. We may tend to become irresponsible, a quitter, reliant too much on others, disturbed, unhappy, hopeless, angry, irrational and openly defiant. These qualities are not success enhancers, and they can eat away at our ability to truly serve Christ and to achieve our best.
Let's examine our lives today. Can we accept personal responsibility for our actions?

Very nice, welcome to 2nd Gen T/A ownership!! Where did you pick her up from?
The car is finally complete after a year and half of restoring. See album for more pictures!
This is number 3 of owning a Trans Am.
Just picked up this baby two weeks ago (11/2009). Found the original owners spec sheet and maintence book where it quotes: "Top speed–131.3, 1/4 mile–14.2. When that was quoted, the car was straight out of the factory with no modifications. Car also has the orginal radio with it. All numbers match except for a few modifications that I didn't do.
As some of you might know, Frank and I have had some issues with this car. Being we are orginally from Long Island NY, I never had a problem with finding mechanics to work on my Trans Am's that I owned in the past.
Living here in NC, we are having a heck of time finding someone that actually knows what they are doing!
Just an update…….Thank you Chumbrother/Mark, for all the tips, and being on "stand by" with our car.
Air shocks where put in (trying not to dip into the Run Fun's and this is just a temporary fix till we get back from the Bandit Run and then leaf springs will go in), shift cable was finally corrected after the 2nd shop majorly screwed that one up, front sway bar bushings and clamps were replaced. Frank finally had a weekend off to do the work, and the weather actually was very beautiful to work in.
I have to say……….I took her out ont he interstate last night, and she ran GREAT! Stomped on it, and the power behind this car actually pinned us in our seats! I was VERY impressed and was shaken up a wee bit because I forgot how powerful these cars can be.
1978 Platinum WS6/W72 package, 400 6.6 HO. No A/C = more power!! 😉
Special handling package, Special performace package
400 6.6 HO motor, 3.23 posi rear
New Leaf Springs, new wire wraps, new water pump, complete rear brake system including lines. New/rebuilt rear end with new gears…Thanks Chumbrother!! Added new trans cooler. New schocks, rebuilt Q-Jet to be put back on when car is repainted.
To come soon:
New Paint Job
Have the following waiting to be put on after paint job:
correct decals, new weather stripping, new front grilles, new window moldings (chrome), new door hindges, repolished kick plate (thanks Frank), new paint for rims. LED lights if Restore A Muscle car can get the manufacture to send them 🙁
Engine was rebuilt and currently has 3500 miles on it. And let me tell you, out of my other 2 TA's that I have owned, this one by far is the fastest. Maybe too fast for me! Not!
edlebrock carb, accel distributor and headers with 3 inch exhaust pipes
I didn't do this, this was done by the previous owner.
Yes, the current shaker scoop is attached. This was not done by us. I have an extra hood and shaker that is being repainted along with the car and will be put on when the painting is finished.

Patriots beat Broncos 45-10 in NFL playoffs
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – Tom Brady's way of dealing with Tebowmania was to silence it with a record-shattering performance.
Brady threw six touchdowns passes, five in the first half, and put the New England Patriots into the AFC championship game after roughing up Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos 45-10 Saturday night.
The Patriots (14-3), winners of nine straight games, will host either Baltimore or Houston next Sunday for a spot in the Super Bowl. Saturday night's romp snapped a three-game postseason losing streak, two of those at Gillette Stadium, and lifted the Patriots to the verge of their fifth Super Bowl appearance in 11 seasons. They've won it three times.
Brady even punted with 2:56 remaining, 48 yards on third down.
And so ended one of the season's most exciting story lines -- one that caught the nation's attention and began when Denver was 1-4 and made Tebow a starter. The one-time third-stringer promptly won six in a row and seven of eight, with a string of stunning comebacks, and the Broncos ended up backing into the AFC West title.

04 December 2009|
Written by Dave Pankew | Photos by Adam Nelso
A few Porsches throughout history got the moniker "Widow Maker" slapped on them since many novice to intermediate drivers were greeted with serious consequences due to lack of skill. It was never really base 911 models though but the twitchy high-horsepower and lightweight versions like the GT2 or the 930 Turbo that were truly dangerous in the wrong hands. Modifying any tuner car to pump out over double the horsepower and reducing overall mass in the process can take a safe Sunday driver into one track abusing "Widow Maker" too.
The Miata never really had a factory race inspired version in North America, but has been modified into a car with potential for those with some driving skills. You won't want to drive a light roadster with Z06 region of horsepower at 10/10ths because you will learn in a hurry how dangerous that can be. Owner Francis Fabiculanan of Los Angeles, CA was bent on making his own version of an agile track car. His donor would be a lowly 1991 Miata and the keys were handed over to the experts at Donlyson Auto Concepts in Los Angeles, CA.
When we stumbled on this car at SEMA last year, we knew there had to be something backing up its sinister appearance. After popping the hood, we found out that we were dead-on correct. After slipping in a built 1.6L motor, the car underwent some surgery to fabricate a forced induction setup. Starting with a GReddy TD04 turbo, the snail sits atop a GReddy stainless steel top-mount manifold. The compressed air is forced into a network of Aerodyne intercooler piping and chilled with an Aerodyne front mount. The exhaust side feeds into a custom Aerodyne dump pipe and is regulated by a GReddy wastegate. The fuel system consists of a Walbro 255lph pump feeding GReddy 330cc injectors with two extra onboard. To add that much more jam, a single fogger NOS system was added. The engine bay is completed with an NRG grounding kit and an oil catch tank setup.
The outside of the car has that shoot first, ask questions later kinda look. Then again it is also adorned with loads of functional gear. The aerokit is a custom fabrication and the roadster has been fitted with a custom fiberglass hardtop. The rear wing, diffusers and side skirts are all custom as well. NRG stepped in to add a damper kit for the carbon fiber hood and hood locks to keep it planted.
When it came to wheels, the owner turned to WORK for a set that would rock people on the streets. At 17x7-inches, these WORK Emotion CR Kai are fairly big for the car and were cloaked in Toyo R888 measuring 205/40R17 all around. Behind the spokes are blazing red Rotora 4-piston brakes gripping 330mm cross-drilled and slotted rotors. The suspension is ramped up with a set of TEIN Super Street coilovers for a high degree of adjustability.
In the cockpit is where major sponsor NRG got a chance to flex their applications list. The seats have been replaced with a pair of NRG carbon fiber racing seats and matching 4-point harnesses with Sabelt buckles. The shift knob and the handbrake have also been replaced with NRG carbon fiber units and the racing pedals are by NRG. The steering wheel has been replaced with an NRG Pilota carbon fiber with black leather connected to an NRG quick release and short hub. Blitz provided the 60mm gauges in the carbon fiber triple pod and the SBC-iD boost controller to set the tone for the drive.
When the dust settled, the Miata was now bumped up a few levels in terms of being a capable track car. Sure you can just throw R-comps on any used Miata and have fun on the track, but now with the new and improved powerplant, a car like this definitely falls under the category of widow-maker.

The Honors Program at Nyack College
For the last fifteen years, the Nyack College Honors Program has provided students with exceptional intellectual curiosity an accelerated and enhanced collegiate experience. Program faculty integrate classroom and field study, invest in student's holistic growth, and foster a vibrant learning community through retreats, domestic and foreign travel, seminars, research projects, and community outreach.
The Honors Program features numerous curricular and extra-curricular innovations designed to engage emerging scholars. In addition to its many activities that take advantage of our proximity to the museums, theaters, and other cultural sites in metropolitan New York, the Honors Program offers a unique core curriculum. Students admitted to the honors program substitute a 16 credit interdisciplinary humanities core for five courses from the traditional core curriculum. Four semesters of Global Humanities, to be taken during the freshman and sophomore years, replace Introduction to Philosophy, Fine Arts, Global Literature, and World History I and II. Each course examines the history, philosophy, literature, and art of the 1) Ancient world, 2) Medieval world, 3) Early Modern and 4) Contemporary era. The study of each period is designed to provide the student with a comprehensive and interdisciplinary, liberal education essential to producing outstanding Christian leaders for the 21st Century.
In addition to the Humanities core, Honors students take Honors Bible courses as well as Honors Writing, Honors Seminar, Honors Research, and Honors Humanities Lab. Students have the opportunity to show competency in math and science to fulfill the college requirement. The Honors curriculum is completed with the capstone senior project.
Honors students take a core curriculum of 47 credits instead of the standard core curriculum of 52 credits, which allows students more liberty and individual choice in the creation of the remainder of the curriculum. (Click here for the honors core curriculum)
The professors who will teach sections of the honors courses are:
- Jonathan Gates, Ph.D. Drew University (Professor of English and Chair of the English Department);
- Steven Bennett, Ph.D. Manchester University (Professor of Bible):
- Jeffrey Dueck, Ph.D., State University of Buffalo (Associate Professor of Philosophy Department);
- Elio Cuccaro, Ph.D., Drew University (Professor of Theology);
- Amy Davis, Ph.D., Drew University (Associate Professor of Bible);
- Larry Poston, Ph.D., Northwestern University (Professor of Religion);
- Kevin Pinkham, Ph.D., University of Southern California (Assistant Professor of English);
- Dr. David Weir, PhD, Princeton University and University of St. Andrews (Professor of History);
- Linda Poston, MLS, Long Island University (Dean of the Library)
The Director of the program is Dr. Jonathan Gates (email@example.com).
Please see attached application. (Click here for application)

As a 40-inch LCD TV with LED backlighting, the first thing we need to do in this review is nail what bit of the LED world it belongs to.
And rather surprisingly, it turns out that it's a direct LED model - as in, one where the LED lights are positioned directly behind the screen, rather than being positioned around the screen's frame as happens with edge-lit LED LCD TVs such as Samsung's B7000 and B8000 ranges.
The reason this is surprising is that direct LED lighting is still generally considered to be the 'premium' LED approach in quality terms, and so not the technology you might expect on a self-consciously affordable LED-lit TV.
It has to be said Samsung has done a pretty solid job of countering the 'direct is best' idea with some of the arguments it's put forward to support its edge LED TVs - and there's no denying that Samsung's B7000 and B8000 ranges have been for the most part outstanding TVs.
But the direct LED TVs will always have one movie-loving trick the edge approach won't: local dimming.
In other words, with direct LED TVs it's possible to control each cluster of LEDs behind the screen individually, so that you could, for instance, have one cluster completely turned off to give a really deep black in that section of the picture, at the same time that the neighbouring cluster can be running at full brightness to give a really bright white.
You don't have to be Albert Einstein to figure out that having local control over brightness in this way can have a pretty profound impact on contrast compared with normal LCD lighting, where the image is being driven by a single, always-on light source.
The only potential problem with the system - and one we'll return to during the performance part of this test - is that there are nowhere near as many LED clusters lighting the picture as there are pixels in the full HD screen
Although Sharp is cagey about exactly how many clusters there are, we suspect the number is substantially less than the 224 being sported by, say, Philips' new PFL9704 direct LED screens.
What this means in picture terms is that the local dimming might not be able to get the light levels exactly right for every pixel in the picture.
This was certainly a big issue with early direct LED TVs, but successive generations have made huge improvements, so hopefully the 40" 40LE700E will continue this progression.
One smaller point worth making about the 40LE700E's LED make up is that it uses white dimming rather than the RGB dimming found on a few much more expensive LED-lit TVs - including Sharp's own ultra high-end XS1E models and Sony's Z4500s.
RGB dimming is reckoned to give a richer, more expansive colour performance - though we have to say from what we've seen that the cheaper white version used here arguably produces a colour palette better suited to current video standards.
Turning to rather more prosaic matters, the 40LE700E is a bit of a mixed bag aesthetically.
Viewed straight on, its glossy, minimalist bezel, bold triangular blue power light and subtle infusion of blue along the extreme bottom edge make for an attractive proposition.
But if you're sat to the side, you can't help but notice how chunky and utterly bland its rear is. In this respect, at least, edge LED-lit TVs have a clear advantage.
The 40LE700E's connections improve on those found on its cheaper LE600E siblings in that they include a handy extra HDMI - bringing the total to four - and add a USB port capable of playing MP3 audio and JPEG photo files.
All the other bits and bobs you'd normally expect on any modern TV - Scarts, CAM slot to support the Freeview tuner, digital audio output and so on - are also present and correct.
You don't get any Ethernet or wireless connectivity for accessing PC files or the internet, but we can live without this if it's one of the reasons Sharp's been able to make the LE700E so affordable.
Since it's what chiefly separates the LE700E range from the LE600E range, you could argue that the most important single feature of the 40LE700E is its 100Hz engine, there to double the frame rate and in the process hopefully reduce LCD's tendency to blur moving objects.
In fact, adding to the potential importance of this feature is the fact that our main criticism of the LE600E models has been the extent to which they suffer from motion blur. So if the 40LE700E can put this issue to bed, we're likely to be very happy bunnies.

|Brief description
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are part of a series of Web accessibility guidelines published by the W3C's Web Accessibility Initiative. They consist of a set of guidelines on making content accessible, primarily for disabled users, but also for all user agents, including highly limited devices, such as mobile phones. The current version is 2.0. (Excerpt from Wikip... article: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG))Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
web 2.0
The term Web 2.0 is associated with web applications that facilitate participatory information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site allows users to interact and collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators (prosumers) of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users (consumers) are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them. Examples of Web 2.0 include social networking sites, blogs, wikis, video sharing sites, hosted services, web applications, mashups and folksonomies. The term is closely associated with Tim O'Reilly because of the O'Reilly Media Web 2.0 conference in late 2004. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to an update to any technical specification, but rather to cumulative changes in the ways software developers and end-users use the Web.

web browser
A web browser or Internet browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content. Hyperlinks present in resources enable users to easily navigate their browsers to related resources. Although browsers are primarily intended to access the World Wide Web, they can also be used to access information provided by Web servers in private networks or files in file systems. Some browsers can also be used to save information resources to file systems. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: web browser)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
web development
Web development (or web management) is a broad term for the work involved in developing a web site for the Internet (World Wide Web) or an intranet (a private network). This can include web design, web content development, client liaison, client-side / server-side scripting, web server and network security configuration, and e-commerce development. However, among web professionals, "web development" usually refers to the main non-design aspects of building web sites: writing markup and coding. Web development can range from developing the simplest static single page of plain text to the most complex web-based internet applications, electronic businesses, or social network services. For larger organizations and businesses, web development teams can consist of hundreds of people (web developers). Smaller organizations may only require a single permanent or contracting webmaster, or secondary assignment to related job positions such as a graphic designer and/or information systems technician. Web development may be a collaborative effort between departments rather than the domain of a designated department. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Web development)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
web portal
A web portal or links page is a web site that function as a point of access to information on the World Wide Web. A portal presents information from diverse sources in a unified way. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Web portal)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
web resources
The concept of resource is primitive in the Web architecture, and is used in the definition of its fundamental elements. The term was first introduced to refer to targets of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), but its definition has been further extended to include the referent of any Uniform Resource Identifier (RFC 3986), or Internationalized Resource Identifier (RFC 3987). In the Semantic Web, abstract resources and their semantic properties are described using the family of languages based on Resource Description Framework (RDF). (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Web resource)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
web services
A web service is a method of communication between two electronic devices over a network. The W3C defines a "web service" as "a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically Web Services Description Language WSDL). Other systems interact with the web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other Web-related standards." The W3C also states, "We can identify two major classes of web services, REST-compliant Web services, in which the primary purpose of the service is to manipulate XML representations of Web resources using a uniform set of "stateless" operations; and arbitrary Web services, in which the service may expose an arbitrary set of operations. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Web service)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
web standards
Web standards is a general term for the formal standards and other technical specifications that define and describe aspects of the World Wide Web. In recent years, the term has been more frequently associated with the trend of endorsing a set of standardized best practices for building web sites, and a philosophy of web design and development that includes those methods. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Web standards)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
web storage
Web Storage and DOM Storage (Document Object Model) are web application software methods and protocols used for storing data in a web browser. Web storage supports persistent data storage, similar to cookies, as well as window-local storage. Web storage is being standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). It was originally part of the HTML 5 specification, but is now in a separate specification. It is supported by Internet Explorer 8, Mozilla-based browsers (e.g., Firefox 2+, officially from 3.5), Safari 4, Google Chrome 4 (sessionStorage is from 5), and Opera 10.50. As of 14 July 2010 only Opera supports the storage events (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Web storage)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
WebCT (Course Tools) or Blackboard Learning System, now owned by Blackboard, is an online proprietary virtual learning environment system that is sold to colleges and other institutions and used in many campuses for e-learning. To their WebCT courses, instructors can add such tools as discussion boards, mail systems, and live chat, along with content including documents and web pages. The latest versions of this software are now called Webcourses. WebCT is significant in that it was the world's first widely successful course management system for higher education. At its height, it was in use by over 10 million students in 80 countries. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: WebCT)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
Web conferencing refers to a service that allows conferencing events to be shared with remote locations. Most vendors also provide either a recorded copy of an event, or a means for a subscriber to record an event. The service allows information to be shared simultaneously, across geographically dispersed locations in nearly real-time. Applications for web conferencing include meetings, training events, lectures, or short presentations from any computer. A participant can be either an individual person or a group. System requirements that allow individuals within a group to participate as individuals (e.g. when an audience participant asks a question) depend on the size of the group. Handling such requirements is often the responsibility of the group. In general, system requirements depend on the vendor. The service is made possible by Internet technologies, particularly on IP/TCP connections. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Web conferencing)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: [term_node_prcnt_1]%.
A wiki is a website that allows the creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser using a simplified markup language or a WYSIWYG text editor. Wikis are typically powered by wiki software and are often used collaboratively by multiple users. Examples include community websites, corporate intranets, knowledge management systems, and note services. The software can also be used for personal notetaking. Wikis serve different purposes. Some permit control over different functions (levels of access). For example editing rights may permit changing, adding or removing material. Others may permit access without enforcing access control. Other rules can be imposed for organizing content. Ward Cunningham, the developer of the first wiki software, WikiWikiWeb, originally described it as "the simplest online database that could possibly work." "Wiki" is a Hawaiian word for "fast".

Josh, the owner and chef of Cafe Ish, gives us a friendly wave as we walk in and I make sure to ask the waitress if it's ok to take photos. Asking politely goes a long way here, and the waitress kindly thanks me for asking and gives me the thumbs up :)
It's definitely a good thing that I can take photos since it would be a shame not to be able to share the awesome food that they serve at Cafe Ish. We start off with their signature Wattle Macca-cino which is a nutty concoction of wattleseed, macadamia and coffee. It arrives with pretty coffee art on the top and the tiniest, cutest little cookie ever on the teaspoon. The coffee itself is smooth and with just the right amount of sweetness that I don't have to add any sugar. If I could have this every morning to start my day I would!
While we're waiting on the food, Josh pops down from the kitchen to have a quick chat and offers us slices of their house-made bread baked fresh that morning. Slathered in butter and Vegemite, the bread had deliciously fluffy innards with a crunchy crust. It was definitely my kind of bread and I'm hoping it stays on the menu for the next time I come.
The next thing that arrived was the breakfast trifle. I'm not usually a big fan of yoghurt but the native berry compote and muesli made it a million times better with the berries adding sweetness and the toasted house-made muesli providing a nice crunch. The berries used in the compote were interesting, I found something that looked like a giant strawberry with the leafy bit at the top still attached! No idea what it all was but it tasted great.
And now for the main event - the soft-shell crab omelette! This certainly lived up to the hype with the omelette being full of avocado and soft-shell crab goodness inside! The soy, garlic and chilli dressing with a squirt of lime juice was the perfect sauce for the crispy crab, and the servings were substantial as well.
If you don't feel like the Let's Do Brunch menu, there are other breakfast options available all day on weekends and until 12pm on weekdays. The Big Ish is a MASSIVE serving of your usual breakfast food and your not so usual breakfast food. So you have your 2 eggs, toast, bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms, but you also get croc sausage, fried mochi and baked beans. These baked beans are not the ones you buy from the can, they have a deep, smokey pork flavour to them and I also got a hunk of pork meat in the bowl as well - win!
The croc sausage was noticeably leaner than a normal sausage and I detected some Thai flavours in the sausage from the herbs and spices thrown into the mix. And oh, the fried potato mochi, how I wished there were more than two pieces of it! It was crisp and crunchy on the outside and surprisingly not jaw-achingly chewy on the inside but still had some bite. The best part was chomping into it to find a small cube of molten feta in the middle. This was my favourite component of the Big Ish.
The lunch menu has different dishes, as well as some of the signature dishes from their breakfast menu like the soft-shell crab omelette. The green tea roasted Byron Bay chicken salad is fresh but filling, with chunks of tender chicken and crispy bacon scattered amongst fresh watercress and tomato, soft pieces of kipfler potatoes, avocado and a light lemon myrtle mayonnaise.
The Tassie peppered seared tuna skewers comes arranged beautifully on a bed of fluffy rice with stir fried Asian greens. The skewers have a chilli, sesame and wild lime soy glaze which adds a hint of sweetness and tartness. It also comes with your choice of miso soup or the soup of the day, which in this case was a creamy tomato and lemon myrtle soup.
Let's Do Brunch is $25 at Cafe Ish, and runs on weekends from 9am-2.30pm. Bookings are recommended since it was packed when we went. But if you miss out, you can always head there at a later date since the soft-shell crab omelette, breakfast trifle and wattle macca-cino are on their permanent breakfast menu. Lucky for me they're going to stick around because I would totally order them again next time I return!

My child has been rejected by his peers, ridiculed and bullied !!!
Social rejection has devastating effects in many areas of functioning. Because the Aspergers child tends to internalize how others treat him, rejection damages self-esteem and often causes anxiety and depression. As the child feels worse about himself and becomes more anxious and depressed – he performs worse, socially and intellectually.

How to Prevent Meltdowns in Aspergers Children
Meltdowns are not a pretty sight. They are somewhat like overblown temper tantrums, but unlike tantrums, meltdowns can last anywhere from ten minutes to over an hour. When it starts, the Asperger's child is totally out-of-control. When it ends, both you and the Asperger's child are totally exhausted. But... don't breathe a sigh of relief yet. At the least provocation, for the remainder of that day -- and sometimes into the next - the meltdown can return in full force.

Parenting Defiant Aspergers Teens
Although Aspergers is at the milder end of the autism spectrum, the challenges parents face when disciplining a teenager with Aspergers are more difficult than they would be with an average teen. Complicated by defiant behavior, the Aspergers teen is at risk for even greater difficulties on multiple levels – unless the parents' disciplinary techniques are tailored to their child's special needs.

Aspergers Children "Block-Out" Their Emotions
Parenting children with Aspergers and HFA can be a daunting task. In layman's terms, Aspergers is a developmental disability that affects the way children develop and understand the world around them, and is directly linked to their senses and sensory processing. This means they often use certain behaviors to block out their emotions or response to pain.

Older Teens and Young Adult Children With Aspergers Still Living At Home
Your older teenager or young "adult child" isn't sure what to do, and he is asking you for money every few days. How do you cut the purse strings and teach him to be independent? Parents of teens with Aspergers face many problems that other parents do not. Time is running out for teaching their adolescent how to become an independent adult. As one mother put it, "There's so little time, yet so much left to do."

Living with an Aspergers Spouse/Partner
Research reveals that the divorce rate for people with Aspergers is around 80%. Why so high!? The answer may be found in how the symptoms of Aspergers affect intimate relationships. People with Aspergers often find it difficult to understand others and express themselves. They may seem to lose interest in people over time, appear aloof, and are often mistaken as self-centered, vain individuals.

Unraveling The Mystery Behind Asperger's and High-Functioning Autism
Parents, teachers, and the general public have a lot of misconceptions of Asperger's and High-Functioning Autism. Many myths abound, and the lack of knowledge is both disturbing and harmful to kids and teens who struggle with the disorder.

Parenting Children and Teens with High-Functioning Autism
Two traits often found in kids with High-Functioning Autism are "mind-blindness" (i.e., the inability to predict the beliefs and intentions of others) and "alexithymia" (i.e., the inability to identify and interpret emotional signals in others). These two traits reduce the youngster's ability to empathize with peers. As a result, he or she may be perceived by adults and other children as selfish, insensitive and uncaring.

Carroll Bryant; phony SEAL
Someone sends us their research on Carroll Bryant who has been pretending to be a SEAL. According to the guy who sent this stuff and did most of the investigating, Bryant has been claiming to be a SEAL for years. And now that he's been exposed as a liar, of course, its because the Navy had to "erase" his records, to wit (if you can read it);
when my career ended, there were several security issues surrounding my service and what had happened on a specific op… i (and the govt went through great legnths to ensure i was "erased" from specop service..i at time went along with…due to my becoming disenfranchised by things we all had learned our govt was into… during our service…i have always held that i am not responsible to validate myself in any regard to any person..i know what and who i am..and you or any other person can take that at face value of the alternative(ur choice)
Don Shipley says he's not a SEAL, along with a couple of other phony hunters. From his records, it looks like Bryant spent about six months in the Navy as an E-3. But his FOIA lacks the forms we're accustomed to seeing. So I'm betting on Don Shipley in this one.
ADDED his FOIA from Scotty;

Weekend Quick Hits: War Machine Wins, Swick Gets an Opponent, Rahman Is Screwing With Us
(War Machine slips into a brief trance. This is why we say no flash photography around him, people.)
- Competing at last night's XMMA event in Montreal, the fighter formerly known as Jon Koppenhaver earned a submission victory over previously unbeaten Guillaume "El Toro" Delorenzi via rear naked choke. When reached for the comment, the citizens of the world replied, "War Machine? That guy who threatened the president on MySpace? He fights?"
- Mike "Quick" Swick will face Ben Saunders at UFC 99 in Germany, according to Five Ounces of Pain. Saunders last competed against Brandon Wolff, the fighter War Machine refused to face due to fears that he might be both good and relatively unknown, thus earning his dismissal from the UFC. Using his height and a series of brutal knees, Saunders made quick work of Wolff at "Fight for the Troops." Now he gets Swick in Germany. Why not.
- After insisting that he's been in negotiations with Strikeforce to give this MMA stuff a try, it seems as if Hasim Rahman is even more full of shit than we suspected. Strikfeforce's Mike Afromowitz told MMA Fanhouse there has been "no dialogue" with Rahman or his manager about a fight with Kimbo Slice, as Rahman's manager had claimed. Maybe by 'talking to Strikefore' he really meant 'watching old Strikeforce fights on the internet?' As for Kimbo, Afromowitz described those talks as "ongoing."

We've all seen the commercial where the kid gets really excited about receiving Gator Bowl tickets. This, after all, is at least the second year it's run in the local market.
Every time I see it, I find myself laughing. In reality, what kid would be excited over any Gator Bowl matchup, especially this year's?
The not-so-hidden secret is that no one gives a healthy damn about the Georgia vs. Nebraska matchup on New Year's Day. But then again, what did they expect, given where the Gator Bowl falls on the pyramid of college bowl games these days?
The days when the Gator Bowl could front like it belonged high atop the second tier are a distant memory, joining toll booths on the Fuller Warren Bridge and two daily papers in Jacksonville.
An indication of where the Gator falls in the pecking order these days:
The Big Ten bowl selections, after Michigan State to the Rose Bowl and Ohio State University to the Orange, are as follows: Wisconsin to the Capital One Bowl; Iowa to the Outback; and Michigan to the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. (That's a real thing, by the way.)
After all that, the Gator Bowl ended up with Nebraska — and as great a Springsteen album as "Nebraska" is, it doesn't add up to football that you care to watch.
For one thing, everyone who wanted to see this matchup would've seen it a year ago, when Georgia and Nebraska locked up in the Capital One Bowl. Aaron Murray lit up the scoreboard last New Year's Day, throwing for five touchdowns and nearly 500 yards as Georgia drove to victory. On the other side of the ball, Taylor Martinez threw for two TDs, and Nebraska kept the game competitive for three quarters and some change. As meaningless New Year's bowl games go, this one was at least diverting.
Will this year's Gator Bowl be as good as last year's contest between these two squads? Possibly. Maybe. But I'm not counting on it.
Murray tore his ACL, and it was just one of many injuries to bedevil the Bulldogs this year. The Bulldogs also lost their two best (arguably) wide receivers — Justin Scott-Wesley and Malcolm Mitchell — to injury this year, and injuries affected two best tailbacks as well. If the Bulldogs had managed to keep those guys healthy, they wouldn't be schlepping to Jacksonville on New Year's Day. Many prognosticators, in fact, thought they could have made a title run.
That said, no matter the personnel problems the team from Athens has had, at least they've had a reliable presence on the sideline in the form of Mark Richt, who was more than diplomatic when addressing the team's selection for the Gator Bowl, for the benefit of the media:
"Oh, I don't know, I think it's becoming a good rivalry," Richt told ESPN. "… It was a great battle last year and we'll see what happens this year."
It could be worse, 'Dawgs fans. At least they aren't coached by Bo Pelini.
Not to be confused with his brother Carl, who lost his job at Florida Atlantic University earlier this year amid allegations of illicit drug use and horrible coaching (the team had a 5-15 record during his time there, which puts him in the dreaded Gabbert Zone), Bo has had some, um, issues with anger management.
During the Nebraska-Iowa game a few weeks back, Pelini went ape-shit on a referee after a pass interference call he didn't like, and "nearly hit the official with his hat during the tirade," as ESPN put it. The school was hit with a $10,000 fine. After the loss, Pelini struck a pugnacious pose before the assembled media.
"If they want to fire me, go ahead," he told reporters after the embarrassing three-touchdown defeat. "I believe in what I've done. I don't apologize to you."
If nothing else, at least the Gator Bowl might gin up a decent post-game presser.

Line 6 Mobile Keys: Not Just 'any' Keyboards
Line 6 Mobile Keys
- Available in two models: Mobile Keys 25 and Mobile Keys 49
These two keyboards, are far from being "just" keyboards. They are in fact a pair of ultra-portable, lightweight, tri-platform premium keyboard controllers. They are designed to control iOS music applications and can double-up as USB MIDI controllers for your computer. Both models (25 key and 49 key) are Mac and PC friendly, and are fully compatible with iOS apps that support the CoreMIDI standard for input, such as Logic Pro and Express, Garageband and several drum machines, synths and VST instruments, used a lot with Cubase and Nuendo workstations.
The Line 6 Mobile Keys provide an exceptional playing experience, with pitch and modulation wheels, volume and pan knobs and octave shifting controls. Not to mention the fact that both the 25 and 49 models feature full sized keys and solid keyboard action, so the pianists among us don't have to struggle trying to adjust to a smaller, lighter key. Both keyboards are also velocity sensitive and have the ability to detect every nuance, so you can keep your playing expressive... it won't be in vain. From ten-note chords to single-note riffs, Mobile Keys have the natural action you need to perform your best all the time.
It's the first (so it says) bus-powered gear that'll draw a tenth of your device's battery, which means you're likely to get around nine hours of use on a full charge. You won't need any additional hardware, power sources or downloads; it's just you, your controller and the realm of creativity. So all you need to do is hook it up and let the creative juices flow.
Mobile Keys 25 is the perfect size for musicians on the go, and the perfect add-on keyboard for any rig. At just over a foot-and-half long, this ultra-portable keyboard controller fits into most backpacks and messenger bags. Never sacrificing function for form, Mobile Keys 25 is sleek and low-profile while remaining extremely comfortable to play.
Whether you're a beginning musician or a seasoned studio professional, you can now perform, record and capture inspiration with a single MIDI keyboard controller solution that works with all your music-making devices.
Now let's not be giving the top side all the attention, because there's just as much to impress you around the back. There's room here for a ¼ TRS expression pedal and sustain pedal jacks, a USB jack and a special jack for connection to the 30-pin jack on your iPad or iPhone (special 1M cable included).
- Line 6 have widened their range of music making peripherals to include these two new MIDI controllers for your device.
Main Features
- Perfect for GarageBand and other CoreMIDI apps
- Record your music when inspiration strikes
- Power-packed portability
- Pro keybed for a powerful performance
- Mac and PC compatibility
- Sustain, expression and other tone controls
- Essential jacks for inspired performances and seamless integration
Mobile Keys 25 and 49 are compatible with both Mac and PC computers, and these mobile devices:
- iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation)
- iPhone 4
- iPhone 3GS
- iPad
- iPad 2

On a cold morning in the middle of January, I walked down to Stoney Creek to photograph some shore birds knowing it was about low tide and there would be some activity going on. However, when I arrived, the tide had already turned, coming in, so after getting a few shots of some merganser ducks and a lone blue heron, I turned to start my walk back home.
Then I heard that unmistakable hissing sound that dolphins make when they surface and spew water from their blowhole. Running back toward the dock, looking to my left, I could see the ripple of waves given off from the dolphins surge just below the surface with his dorsal fin slicing through the water, and he was moving fast.
In a flash, he had swam past me to the curve of the creek where there's a sand bar at low tide and he knew it would be a good place to corral up some fish for a meal. His unexpected presence startled the blue heron that had been quietly basking in the morning sun, into quick flight to a safer viewing spot.
Then the water exploded with frothy splashing and activity, so much so that my two small dogs started barking with excitement. This activity is called strand feeding or a feeding frenzy, when dolphins catch the tide just right with mud banks exposed, so they can rush the water with such force as to push the fish, mostly finger mullet, on the bank to catch and eat.
Just as he was finishing his feed, I heard another hissing from behind me and turning saw a second dolphin gliding through the water. He saw her too and swirling in the water, with his mouth slightly open showing his teeth he joined in with her cavorting and splashing around for a second explosion of water spray. Quickly they both slid up on the mud bank with foamy salt water dripping from their fins to devour their catch.
After a brief meal they gently slipped off the bank, submerged themselves and started their swim back out of the creek. In a span of a short, cold 10 minutes I had witnessed an exhilarating spectacle of nature and just as quickly as it all had started it was suddenly quiet, serene and the startled blue heron was left looking around in amazement.
A dolphin lesson
The World Book Encyclopedia describes a dolphin as: "A small whale with teeth and tapering snout or beak."
Out of the two kinds of dolphins described, the common dolphin, that likes to stay far out at sea, and the bottlenose dolphin, also known as a porpoise that lives along the coast of the continents, the latter is the type found in our local waters. Both types travel in schools and are graceful swimmers, diving and leaping sometimes curving to a height at least twice its own length before striking the water again.
The bottlenose dolphin, called this because of its short snout of not more than three inches has between 20-26 teeth in each jaw and can grow to a length of 11 to 12 feet. The snout, or rostrum, is actually its nose. The 'functional' nose is the blowhole on top of its head where the nasal septum is visible when open.
In our local waters where shrimp boats can be seen trawling for shrimp there are always dolphins along with numerous shore birds that follow them around waiting on a free handout of unwanted fish separated from the catch of shrimp. Because they are an aquatic mammal of beauty and amusement, the dolphin is also a tourist attraction for the travelers on tour boats when they go out and if you happen to be in the right place at the right time you might just get to view a dolphin feeding frenzy.

40-year-old male orangutan is addicted to Jane Austen
MOST apes are obsessed with tyre swings and bits of fruit.
The 200-pound primate reads up to 50 pages a day of the classic, which deals with manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in early 19th-century England.
And he's so gripped that unless he's had at least half-an-hour of Elizabeth Bennet's travails with Mr Darcy, he won't sleep at night.
Keeper Michael Krause revealed: "Albert's favourite book is Pride and Prejudice while his partner Raya likes German fiction, like the Winnetou native American stories by Karl May.
"But they both like cookery books and when we're doing dramatic readings they like me to act out all the movements."
ABOVE: Albert has become obsessed by Jane Austen novels
ABOVE: The orangutans have a selection of favourite books
The bedtime stories came about because the pair had been sending Krause potty with their non-stop playing at night at Poland's Gdansk Zoo.
He said: "If you gave them a fruit snack they'd throw it around, if you tried to wear them out with play, they'd just get hyper.
"I didn't know what to do until I pulled out a book I was reading during a break and within a couple of minutes they were trying to read over my shoulder.
"Now they go to bed quietly and peacefully as long as they get their stories."

Rock The Joint: 10 Songs Aaliyah Would've Been Hot On Post-2001
Ten years have passed since we lost an R&B icon who was just getting settled into her throne before she was taken away from us: Aaliyah Dana Haughton. At the time of her death, Aaliyah was making major moves. On the music side, she was promoting her newly released self-titled CD Aaliyah, which Rolling Stone referred to as a "near-flawless declaration of strength and independence." In Hollywood, she had plans to film two sequels to The Matrix (Reloaded & Revolutions, respectively), a remake of Sparkle, a Fox Searchlight film called Some Kind Of Blue (where she would star in an interracial love story set in 1950s America), and was first choice as the lead in Honey (later given to Jessica Alba).
Listening to the radio, there's no doubt that you've heard a song that makes you say "Damn, Aaliyah would've been HOT on that!" Here at VIBE, we've been noticing these for the past 10 years. It wasn't an easy task to narrow down, but check out our list of 10 songs made after the fateful day in 2001 that Aaliyah would've shined on had her career gotten the chance to skyrocket like we knew it would. Here's to you, Baby Girl…R.I.P.—Keenan Higgins
