A sea of garnet-and-gold under a brilliant blue sky, thrilling in the Florida sun to another Seminoles win - it doesn't get any better than this! From legendary stadium photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, this spectacular print features a panoramic view of the action on a beautiful Saturday afternoon in Tallahassee, on the campus of Florida State University. Every detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there. You can read the scoreboard, see the players on the sideline and on the field, see the cheerleaders, and even the expressions on some fans' faces. Whether you were at the stadium on that day (the October 29, 2011 shutout of NC State), are a student, alumnus, or simply an armchair fan of big-time ACC football, you'll love this piece - just looking at it makes you feel like you're there on gameday, taking in one of the most incredible stadium atmospheres in the nation. Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports wall-of-fame!

Split fins have become the most popular style fin in diving today. Just look around when you are out beach diving or on the charter boat and you will soon discover that more divers are making the switch to this style fin. Why are they so popular? They are popular because they work, and you, work less! A split fin performs more like the combination of a whale's tail and a propeller. When you kick the two separate blades twist and create more of a propeller surface which will increase your propulsion and lift. You feel as if the fin is not strong enough to keep you moving as fast as you are accustomed with your full bladed fin, yet you cover the same distance in the same time.
Less Drag, More Thrust and most important Less Strength is Used. The Split Fin Design is not only unique; it uses the Latest Technology in Composite Plastic Polymer Materials to give a Light Fin (Great Travel Fin) and one that Increases Thrust and Reduces Fatigue. Extensive R&D and Testing yielded the perfect formula of Flexibility and Rigidity for Efficient Propulsion. Atomic Multi-Composite Plastics result in a Powerful Kick that requires Less Effort, Stress and Strain meaning Less Air Consumption. The Power Rails are Highly-Resilient and Perform as the Backbone of the Split Fin, Storing and Releasing Energy with Every Kick. The Semi-Ridged Flex Battens set in the Soft Elastomeric Blade, Control the Precise Wing Shape to Optimize Thrust and Reduce Drag. The Large Surface Area Blade Improves Pivoting, Turning and Alternate Kick Styles.
Thin, yet Strong and Highly Flexible Hinge Points between the Semi-Ridged Battens cause the Blade to React Quick-and-Efficiently to the Slightest Kick. The Anatomically Contoured Full Foot Pocket designed to Fit-your-Foot without Stress Points. Foot Pocket has a Large Heel Pull-Tab for Easy Donning and Doffing of Fins. The Atomic Full Foot Split Fins are available in US sizes 4.5-5.5, 6-7, 7.5-8.5, 9-10, 10.5-11.5 and 12-14 (EUR: 36-37, 38-39, 40-42, 42-43, 44-45 and 45-47), comes in Black or Yellow colors and is covered by a 12 month limited warranty.
The Atomic Aquatics Full Foot Split Fins is commonly used for Recreation, SCUBA, Snorkeling, Travel and more. The Atomic Aquatics Full Foot Split Fins is most used by customers who consider themselves to be a Advanced, Recreational Diver among others. The Atomic Aquatics Full Foot Split Fins is popular because customers like the following qualities of the Atomic Aquatics Full Foot Split Fins: Comfortable, Efficient, Lightweight.
This product has a limited warranty of 12 months.

My wife and I first bought these after reading a very favorable review several years ago. Among other things the review said "they're so fast they'll make your snorkel bend." That's been our experience, our snorkels literally bend. We've since bought them for all our children as well. We use them for snorkeling as well as scuba diving in tropical climates. They're a bit pricier than many, but in our opinion worth every penny.
One caveat. I'm a size 11 shoe so I bought the large. The fit was quite snug and as a result I would get blisters. However, my wife never got a single blister. We compared fit one day and realized hers looked somewhat "loose" yet they stayed on very well. I ordered a pair of X-Large and have been blister free ever since.

I frequently feel the two sides of the "split" fin hitting / rubbing together. Not that big of a deal, but I work hard to be conscious that I'm not coming into contact with the reef. These fins force me to constantly stop, thinking I've kicked the reef. Looking back, it's just the fins hitting together.
FIns work fine, but are way to distracting for me. Going back to a blade.

Comments about Atomic Aquatics Full Foot Split Fins:
First set of split fins I have used and I was very impressed. A few inches longer than my other fins and felt a bit clumsy out of the water but good thrust vs. effort. Worth the $.
Best Uses
Comments about Atomic Aquatics Full Foot Split Fins:
I wear a size 13 shoe and the XL fit just right. If you are a size 12, the pocket would be a little loose and a 14 a little snug, but probably still comfortable. The fins have plenty of power for diving with a light easy flutter kick. More power is available and would give you as much as most paddle fins. There is a difference between the materials and comfort between Atomics and Tusa fins. The Tusa's are almost as good and far cheaper, but you get what you pay for. The narrower design of the Atomics and different materials give slightly more thrust per amount of energy put in and do not tend to hit each other. I find I have to consciously keep the Tusa's apart since they have a wider design. The Atomics work better with a frog kick, but not as good as a typical paddle fin. On the surface, the 20 degree angle of the fins make a face down surface swim slightly more work than a fin without the 20 degree angle, but for diving this is a plus for the typical body position during scuba diving. Nice fins. The only reason for 4 not a 5 is the surface swimming is not perfect.

"I'm buying a dog from a breeder because shelter dogs are too much work." "I'm getting my dog from a pet store because shelters don't have puppies." "I don't want a pre-owned dog. It won't love me as much."
Ever heard someone say this totally wrong-headed stuff? We have too, and it we bet it makes you as crazy as it makes us! We know shelter dogs and puppies are awesome—maybe you've got one making your house a home right now—but it seems like not everyone does…yet.
So what can we do about it? Spread the truth about shelter dogs, of course! That's why we created our "Proud Parent of a Shelter Dog" and "I <3 My shelter Dog" tees, totes and more: so advocates for shelter dogs like you can help change minds. Sporting these is the easiest way to lead by example and help get the word out that shelter dogs are the best.
In honor of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month (that's October, folks!), the ASPCA Store is taking 20 percent off all apparel and gifts that promote shelter dog adoption.
Remember: All proceeds from the ASPCA Store are used to help save animals' lives.
Own some of this gear already? Yay, you! Tell us about it in the comments. Oh, and give your shelter dog an extra belly rub today from the ASPCA.

Argentina's local cuisine explores both European and Latin American influences, and is highly regarded worldwide. In Buenos Aires, pizza and pasta are as readily available as regional specialties like empanadas or asado, also known as Argentine barbeque. Grilled meat is an Argentine staple, with steak and beef ribs especially common. If your diet includes meat, you absolutely must check out a popular parrilla and sample their asado. There are many delicious choices for vegetarians, too, like tasty cheese and spinach empanadas, pastas, and salads.
Every neighborhood in Buenos Aires boasts excellent dining options, so students should spend some time finding the best restaurant in their favorite barrio. Instead of rushing the bill out to you, restaurant staff in Argentina will leave you to your dining experience for as long as you wish, because, like Italians, Porteños enjoy sitting down for long meals that allow them to enjoy quality time with friends and family.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 9 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ren Absolutely love this phone!! I've had this phone for about three years now, and I absolutely love it. It's a highly dependable phone with clear voice quality. It sends texts without a hitch. It feels quality in hand, and it's quality has held up through the years; though I've dropped this phone numerous/countless times, these accidents have not affected the phone's usage, and barely left any scuffs. Yes, it's not a smart phone, but it's a great phone for me, and wish I had purchased two of these when they were available. February 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Hot Locs Simply simple In these times everything is hustle-bustle, highly technical and poorly crafted. I appreciate the simplicities of life. This product is user friendly, reliable and charming all in one! I've had this phone for over 3 years, I have never had one problem, as it is, I''m trying to purchase another one for (just in case...) I don't care how rapid technology advances, I will always and only own this phone, period October 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by micshys This product is easy to use I have found the newer phones to be too sensitive to my touch and I find them hard to control...I love my GD570 because I can handle it easier plus carry it around all day..I like the fact that it folds and is so handy. It takes wonderful photos,in fact,I don't call it my phone....I call it my camera that I happen to make phone calls on. I also love the editing that comes with it. I fear they will stop making something this easy to use. My only complaint probably lies with my carrier with poor coverage in some areas. Every so often someone will answer my call but not hear me...don't know if that is a phone problem or carrier. Please don't stop making this folding phone as it fits so perfectly in my hand...Many people have remarked about how pretty my phone looks or how kewl it is.. July 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LY99 BEST PHONE HAD.....EVER! This phone AMAZING. It has Great list of features!!! AMAZINGLY COOL January 12, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Thelmama GD570 I have had this phone for about two weeks and I hate it. The user manual is useless. I have a hard time finding stuff. I can't change anything because I can't find where!!! All my contacts came back BUT none of the cell phone numbers are marked as cell! When I want to take a picture, I have to go through about four steps to get to a camera. It was trial and error to figure out how to save a picture to the chip! I hate this phone!!!!! Saddest part is that I am now under a 2 year contract. October 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by starlight-starbright Great Starter Phone for Kids This cute little phone makes for a wonderful starter phone for kids. The flip style ensures that calls are ended just by closing. The blinking lights that appear when the phone rings can be customized to your liking (including pattern and color). Cute wallpaper options, including a few animated ones. Sturdy, but not too heavy. Good value. October 4, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pattie44087 GREAT PHONE! I LOVE MY PHONE. IT'S EASY TO USE, HS FUN FEATURES( ESPECIALLY SETTING A LIGHT CODE TO CONTACTS FOR ID. GREAT VALUE! March 8, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by KingsKnight1 Good phone Phone has most of the features I was looking for but a few drawbacks from my perspective. I really wanted a client interface so I could update the contacts list and the calendar from my PC. There are drivers so I can load pictures and music directly. That's good. Also the battery seems to need more frequent recharging and previous phones I've owned. December 8, 2010
You have standout style; you aren't just a trend-follower, but a trend-setter. You have a lot to keep up with, and need a phone that can too. The new LG dLite has a customizable LED display and secret lighting so you can flaunt your fashion with every call or alert. Use text messaging, IM, email, as well as easy access to social networks to stay connected with your closest friends.

Goals: Luna 2, originally named Second Cosmic Rocket, was the sixth Soviet attempt to send a probe crashing into the Moon - and the first success. The spacecraft also carried sensors to study interplanetary space and sodium gas to enable Earthbound observers to follow its progress.
Accomplishments: Luna 2 was the first object of human origin to make contact with another celestial body. The spacecraft scattered spherical emblems of the Soviet Union on the lunar surface. The spacecraft's sensors found no evidence of a lunar magnetic field or radiation belt.

Uchiha Clan
this wiki
|Uchiha Clan
|(うちは一族, Uchiha Ichizoku)
|Appears in
|Anime, Manga, Novel, Game, Movie
|Clan Data
|Kekkei Genkai
The Uchiha Clan (うちは一族, Uchiha Ichizoku) is one of the four noble clans of Konohagakure,[1] and was also reputed to be the village's most powerful clan,[2] producing shinobi that were exceptionally talented and battle-oriented. Members of this clan also possessed the renowned Sharingan. Together with the Senju clan, they founded Konohagakure. Since its demise, the clan has been reduced to a single nuclear family.
The Uchiha clan descended from Indra Ōtsutsuki, the elder of the two sons of the Sage of the Six Paths. Indra inherited the Sage's "eyes", powerful chakra and spiritual energy. When it came time for the Sage to choose a successor, he questioned the two on what course of action they would follow to bring order to the world. Indra believed that power was the way to bring peace, while Asura Ōtsutsuki, the younger son, believed love was the way. The Sage favoured Asura's ideal, and therefore designated him as his successor, causing Indra to be filled with jealousy and hatred.[3] From this hate came what Tobi calls the Curse of Hatred (憎しみの呪い, Nikushimi no Noroi). From Asura descended the Senju clan who would be the eternal rivals of the Uchiha.[4] However, the Uchiha suffered another more dangerous curse: a passionate love that can become a bottomless well of despair the moment someone they care for dies.
Before the founding of the ninja villages, the Uchiha were one of the many mercenary clans for hire. Because of their Sharingan as well as battle prowess, the Uchiha clan came to be known as one of the two strongest clans, the other being the Senju clan. Madara Uchiha was particularly powerful, and, upon attaining the Mangekyō Sharingan, took control of the clan. Under his leadership the Uchiha grew stronger, conquering whatever clans they came upon, such that, whenever the Uchiha clan was hired for a job, the opposing side would hire the Senju, and vice versa.[5][6]
Some time before Konoha's founding, some members of the Uchiha clan began to willingly surrender, realising that they were outclassed by the Senju.[7] The Senju later grew tired of the endless fighting, and approached the Uchiha clan with a peace treaty once again. Though rejected time and time before as Madara feared that an alliance would destroy the Uchiha clan, he willingly accepted after witnessing Hashirama's resolve[8]. The two clans came together to form Konoha, with Hashirama Senju, leader of the Senju clan, being selected as Hokage. Madara believed that this was proof that the Uchiha would be made subservient to the Senju, but his clan saw this only as his attempt to rekindle the flames of war. They turned their backs on him, and he defected.[9]
Following Madara's betrayal, having gone into hiding after faking his death in the battle against Hashirama, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju gave the Uchiha control of the Konoha Military Police Force as a sign of trust. However, this was really just a way of keeping the Uchiha's emotions in check so the village would not end up with another Madara. Over the years, some Uchiha, such as Setsuna Uchiha, came to realise their ostracism and believed that they were being purposely kept out of Konoha's governing affairs. Though Setsuna and his followers tried to rebel against the village as Madara did, they found that it was too late to make a difference, as the Senju had already completely suppressed the Uchiha.[10] Despite Tobirama's attempts, it only caused a greater rift between the Uchiha and the village. The matter grew worse when a young Obito Uchiha, presumed dead at the time, witnessed the death of Rin Nohara, his team-mate and a girl Obito loved at the hands of Obito's rival, Kakashi Hatake. In the aftermath, Obito became a follower of Madara's ideals, vowing to create a world where he and Rin could be together again.
Main article: Uchiha Clan Downfall
Years later, after the Nine-Tails' Attack on Konoha, Konoha's elders began to suspect that an Uchiha was behind the attack because of their ability to control the Nine-Tails with their Sharingan.[11] Tobi stated that the clan was forced to live in a corner of the village, ostracised from the rest of the community, and placed under heavy surveillance, though only the latter has collaborating evidence.[12] This gave birth to ill-will amongst the clan and the Uchiha interpreted this as confirmation of what Madara had warned them of years earlier, and began to plan overthrowing the village.[13] Itachi disagreed with his father's coup d'état plan, and informed Konoha's leadership of what the Uchiha were up to. Shisui Uchiha, who had been told to keep an eye on his best friend Itachi also disagreed with the clan's plan and joined Itachi in his mission to put a stop to it. Shisui attempted to use the ability of his Mangekyō Sharingan: Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup d'etat, but was stopped by Danzō — who was determined to protect the village his own way — stole Shisui's right eye from him. Saddened by the turn of events, Shisui met with Itachi and entrusted him his left eye before the elder came after it as well, telling him to protect the village and the name of the Uchiha.
The Third Hokage, who had disagreed with the treatment the Uchiha were receiving, tried to negotiate for a more peaceful solution, but as time passed and that strategy seemed to be getting them nowhere, Danzō took matters into his own hands and inveigled Itachi to commit the genocide with threat of his clan's actions creating another war and innocent children, such as his little brother, becoming a casualty.[14]
Only three Uchiha survived their clan's genocide: Itachi — the one who committed the act, Sasuke — Itachi's younger brother, and Obito — who, acting as Madara, assisted with the massacre.
Years later, a terminally ill Itachi succumbed to his illness during the destined battle between him and his brother — the way he had intended — however, after the fight, Sasuke discovers the details surrounding why Itachi did what he did. Saddened by his brother's sacrifice and angered by Konoha's involvement, Sasuke teams up with Obito to destroy the village.[15] When Itachi is reincarnated during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sasuke is able to speak with him and decides that destroying Konoha is not the solution.
Madara Uchiha is also brought back to life during the Fourth Shinobi World War through the actions of Obito. Madara is then incapacitated when his body is used to revive Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, courtesy of Black Zetsu. Obito himself dies shortly after while protecting Naruto Uzumaki and Kakashi Hatake from one of Kaguya's attacks, and when Kaguya is sealed by Naruto and Sasuke, Madara perishes moments later as the tailed beasts were extracted from his body, which ultimately leaves Sasuke as the sole survivor of the entire Uchiha clan.
New Era
Years later after the war, Sasuke would go on to finally overcome the curse and have a daughter with his wife, therefore continuing the Uchiha bloodline, effectively beginning the restoration of his clan as he originally intended.
Meanwhile, Shin, a former experiment of Orochimaru who was fascinated with Itachi of the Uchiha clan, would claim the Uchiha name with his clones with the desire to kill Sasuke to restore honour to the Uchiha and revive Akatsuki, only to be stopped by Sasuke and Naruto Uzumaki.
The Uchiha were famous for their powerful chakra, exceptionally strong techniques, and natural aptitude for anything combat-related. The clan possessed an innate affinity for Fire Release nature transformation, with even the youngest of members able to use it from just observation.[16] They have created several techniques and use this nature transformation more skilfully than any other.[17] Their signature technique was the Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.[18] Clan members were not recognised as adults by the rest of the clan until they could successfully use this technique.[19] The Uchiha were also highly known for their mastery of ninja tools. They themselves invented many shuriken move sets which required the use of thin metal wires, such as the Windmill Triple Blades technique. They were apparently also somewhat skilled in barrier ninjutsu, having created the Uchiha Flame Formation which, still holding to their natural affinity for fire, created a barrier that burned whatever came in contact with it.
The Uchiha clan were most feared for their kekkei genkai, the Sharingan. This dōjutsu gives them the ability to see the "colours" of chakra, allowing them to analyse and copy their opponent's skills, along with a number of other abilities. Due to the process necessary to awaken it, only a select few Uchiha manifested the Sharingan. Due to their natural affinity for battle, and their proficiency with genjutsu, many ninja considered it more tactically favourable to flee rather than face an Uchiha in one-on-one combat.[20] Among the techniques granted by the Sharingan, Izanagi and Izanami are deemed to be forbidden, due to their effect of rendering the user blind in exchange for creating genjutsu capable of escaping death or trapping the opponent without failure. Various non-Uchiha have had the Sharingan implanted into them, as well.
Madara and Izuna were the first two Uchiha to awaken an advanced form of the Sharingan known as the Mangekyō Sharingan, which can be activated by experiencing a pain similar to the one needed to awaken a regular Sharingan. However, frequent use of the Mangekyō Sharingan deteriorates the user's eyesight and results in blindness. Only by taking the eyes of a close genetic match, such as a sibling, can one's vision be restored, a process that results in the creation of an Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan (永遠の万華鏡写輪眼, Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan). Itachi indicated that the intricacies of the Mangekyō Sharingan were only discovered after decades of trial and error, implying that many Uchiha throughout history had attempted to gain the Mangekyō Sharingan.
Madara, a reincarnation of Indra, was able to further evolve his Sharingan into the Rinnegan[21] after he stole and integrated the DNA of Hashirama Senju, Asura's reincarnation at the time, into his body. Fusing the chakra of Indra and Asura caused the Rinnegan to awaken, restoring the Izanagi-induced blindness in his left eye. However, he noted that the dōjutsu did not manifest until he was nearing the end of his natural lifespan.[22] After meeting Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki during a near-death experience, Sasuke awakened a unique Rinnegan containing six tomoe in his left eye.[23]
- "Uchiha" is another way of pronouncing "uchiwa" (団扇, paper fan), which is the clan's symbol. Uchiwa can be used to fan flames, making the flame hotter — referring to the fact that the Uchiha is a clan of Fire Release users.
- Attire-wise, the Uchiha have always favoured high-collared outfits with their clan's symbol proudly emblazoned on the back. Furthermore, during the Warring States Period, the Uchiha that chose to wear armour often refused to have any armour on their back to proudly display their clan's symbol. Over the generations, their attire has changed with their attire initially consisting of a dark coloured mantle along with pants, which later became simple shirts and pants, all the while retaining the high collar.
- Prior to settling on Konohagakure, they resided in an enclave of small wooden buildings surrounded by forest.[24]
- Most of the powerful techniques exclusively used by the Uchiha (Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, Susanoo, Izanagi, Izanami and Kotoamatsukami) are named after Shintō deities from the Japanese creation myth.
- Itachi, Sasuke, and Obito are the three Uchiha that remained after the massacre, and all three eventually became missing-nin, allied with Akatsuki. All three eventually awoke their Mangekyō Sharingan.
- In the earlier stages of the series, Kakashi stated that there are rumours the Uchiha clan's Sharingan was derived from the Hyūga clan's Byakugan.[25] However, Kurama is the only one to know the full truth about the Uchiha clan yet appears to have no intention of revealing what it knows.[26] It is later revealed that the Uchiha and Hyūga have a common ancestor in Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, who used both the Byakugan, and the Rinne Sharingan, a dōjutsu which possessed Sharingan characteristics.
- According to Obito, the Uchiha clan is destined to a life of revenge against their hated enemies, the Senju clan and Konohagakure. However there are exceptions in the form of Itachi, Shisui, Naori and Kagami Uchiha and later Sasuke, who had opposing ideals.

A college level course using TED as the driver for discussion, research, and learning.
For some time I've had the though of creating a college level class based on TED Talks. The essence would be to look at different realms of innovation around the globe, the impact of open social media, and the role good story telling plays in communicating ideas.
Final projects could include creating your own TED talk and having a small TEDxEvent in the university. This could likely get a lot of support from local media and truly highlight some of the amazing work going on by students in universities around the world.
1. Is there anything like this going on already?
2. What could it entail and how could it be used to create more collaboration between departments?
3. Is there anybody interested in developing such a course for their university?
Aug 18 2012: Hello Lee,
Great strand you've started! I love that you're thinking in terms of a class and that you've elegantly tied together existing initiatives that so many people are involved in.
Some info....
TED-Ed, in concert with the other TED initiatives, is actively positioning itself to implement some of the ideas that you've brought up. Though TED-Ed is in BETA now, and focused on building and aggregating content, you will see quite a few features added over the coming year that will hopefully be helpful should you decide to implement your idea.
So, keep the great ideas coming, and watch the TED-Ed space ( http://ed.ted.com/ ) for tools that might prove useful as you continue to build on this one!

Jul 26 2012: Why not a high school level course? None of the talks that I have heard are too difficult for high school students of around age sixteen, seventeen, or eighteen.
- +2
High school has a broad reach, embracing students who intend to go to college and those who don't. It is a misconception that only college-focused students care about big ideas. Consideration of the wide world of ideas out there is perhaps most important for students in those formative years.
Colleges already have specialists across fields, including practitioners who either teach there or visit the campus to give lectures or teach courses. High schools do not have this depth at their finger tips and those who have left school no longer have such ready access except through distance learning.
I know many college courses assign TED talks here and there that fit in with the other materials that are assigned that go into the issues of the course in depth.
Jul 27 2012: Completely agreed. The form would look different, but the greater amount of classroom exposure time that HS has would be valuable and also perfect for engaging the current generation of media saturated youth.Aug 19 2012: Why not younger students as well? Being currently a highschool student myself, my English teacher uses talks to better explain the subject or topic at hand. Learning from the experience of others, and or researches and ideas help us, as in the students, wrap our heads around the concepts and see them from an experienced viewpoint. This method works on students that are a lot younger than the original audience it was aimed at, because these young people see the ideas from a more mature standpoint and they are presented with real world topics/knowledge/questions/ideas etc. Although I was already aware of the talks before they were used in our classroom, they really give a better understanding on the subject they are applied to. That's one of the benefits of being 14 :-) there's so much out there to learn and soooo much room to growJul 26 2012: Suggestion: Think outside the box of Academia...whether US/elsewhere
Consider: The massive global event...of folks eager to learn English,.
But...many-many study strenuously with text-books/grammar-books/dictionaries, but they do not learn well.
They do not actually ACQUIRE the language (Krashen)...as in the difference between taking a written test on swimming/bicycle riding...and...doing the actual process. Krashen emphasizes that what learners need is...COMPREHENSIBLE INPUT..."real messages of real interest."
TED Talks can help...especially via the development of a global WIKI-nomics network of Mass Collaboration/Peer Production...learners doing user-friendly Audio Editing (such as with audacity.com), for their OWN training for their OWN listening comprehension levels (Krashen's i+1 Process). Globally, there can be millions of learners for whom such individualized PBL (Project-based Learning) will be well-suited to their OWN particular levels..for bringing them to the next level of Listening Comprehension (I+1) Perhaps these value-added audio materials could become micro-enterprise peer-collaboration projects...with TED's consent/support.
There's significant research demonstrating that, for the vast majority of folks, Oral Fluency can only come via Audio Input...Not Printed Word, but the Spoken Word, with its subtle energetics/harmonics et. Ascher's Total Physical Response emphasizes that "brain-switching" is essential for Oral Fluency...switching from the left-brain dominated approaches, to right-brain dominance...which is in harmony with Jill Bolte Taylor's TED Talk.
Chris Anderson emphasized the ORAL-ity of TED Talks.
Consider the difference between (1) actor/politician memorizing speech written by writer, and
(2) TED speaker-with-a-cause, presenting with sincerity/passion/hope, with voice resonating with energy/power...SATYAGRAHA.
Consider:China's nation-wide not-yet-networked grassroots English Corners, at public parks and on campuses
Jul 27 2012: These points are quite significant. The initial idea came from a distaste for the current state of education. I do just wish everyone would use these amazing tools and collaborate more, but one step at a time, yes? You point about China is amazing. I do wonder what the "feel" is of the digital commons in China given a very different gov structure from what I'm used to.Jul 24 2012: I hope this becomes a reality in South Africa.
TED is an educational institution that has contributed immensely to the propagation of good ideas, in fact, great ideas. TED has been a platform for insightful debates; and an avenue for asking questions and subjecting our answers to scrutiny.
This sort of training programme may not neccessarily be like the convention higher institution programme. One Saturday every month throughout the years of study should be enough.
There would be sessions of watching TED talks and sessions of discussing the talk.

Aug 19 2012: Hi all:
- +1
I'm a faculty at the National University of Singapore, School of Computing. I've been asked to teach an advanced Human Computer Interaction (HCI) course this semester, and plan to use many more videos as the basis for class lecture and starting conversations about lecture topics.
Since HCI overlaps with (interaction) design, I'll be using a number of the design talks in class, and for starters in our first week (it's still the first week of class now) we watch Salman Khan's update about the Khan Academy (http://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html) as a starting point to talk about the future of education and about evaluation methodologies.
I hope to use both Coursera (Scott Klemmer's HCI class) and TED as platforms where students in the class can engage the global community and get a chance to interact with folks much more (or less!) experienced than themselves.
Reine Azzi
Jul 21 2012: of course! Have been using TEDTalks for the past two years in my rhetoric, oral communication, and even ethics classes! Truly inspires discussion and creativity... and students adore it! they usually go back home and ask for more! They've even critiqued transcripts of TEDTalks!
- +1
Jul 23 2012: That is amazing! Have you documented this? Have you shared it with the TED people? The pitfalls and the promises? I think a TED class would be amazing! How about an entire TED study abroad program connecting to the fellows and partners around the world! That is the dream. Possible?
Jul 24 2012: That would be a freaking amazing and achievable idea!

Jul 20 2012: Kyra Gaunt, a TED Fellow teaching anthropology at Baruch College-CUNY, hosted a conversation in mid-June about reforming the higher education classroom. She uses TED talks a great deal in her courses and takes a particular interest in use of the internet for sources in lieu of work published offline.
- +1
If you search on this site for "higher education reform," you may find excellent ideas for course design involving TED.
Jul 20 2012: Thank you very much. This is wonderful to know, I am based in NYC and would love to learn more about contacts and partners working towards this goal. Please keep me posted with other thoughts.Aug 3 2012: I've been in a couple of graduate courses where one of the biggest drivers of discussion were TED lectures, usually shared by me and the teacher(s) actually liked them enough to sometimes spend at least a week or two on a single talk. As for the idea of coupling a class with a TEDxEvent, that's a bit of a new one. But as for having a college or graduate level course that uses at least the TED videos for discussion, research and learning, sometimes it's just up to the instructors or the students to start introducing stuff like that to class.Aug 2 2012: What is your work? Is this something you're interested in implementing?Aug 2 2012: I think TED is an awesome website for almoast all people regardless their age.
Many of my friends have a great interest as I do. Most of the afternoon, we
spend time debating on google+ and describing own ideas about the talk we watched.
I am curios about developing the idea to make or create a collabration of departments.Aug 2 2012: I teach a course to undergrads using TED as a weekly discussion video. Specifically TED talks on technology and sociology. The course is a Technological Trends class and it is a great tool to supplement a textbook that can't be updated as often. I think building a course completely off of TED content would be a good writing course for first year students that can reflect on what was presented.
Aug 2 2012: I agree TED talks can serve as good writing prompts.
Neil C
Jul 27 2012: While not identical, I've recently started a study group with two friends, in which each week we take it in turns to choose a TED talk that is appealing. During the week we'll consider the lecture's main idea, perhaps providing other resources that explore similar issues to the rest of the group and consider the merits (or lack thereof) of the presentation. Then, we'll get together for a conference call (we live in different cities) and discuss our findings and thoughts. Again, as there are three of us, the idea is to be pleasantly surprised should another member choose a topic that the rest of the group would not usually consider.
- 0
I'm sorry that this is not exactly what you're asking, but I would like to reaffirm that I completely recognize the value of TED talks as a resource in a university setting as a platform for exploring technological innovation. I'm sure the interest is out there.Jul 27 2012: BIG steps can be made when decisions are individual, by intrinsically-motivated English learners, rather than by academic institutions.TED show DVDs are avalable in China's Pirate DVD shops, with both English and Chinese subtitles. Regarding China: both BJ & Shanghai have TEDx events, no doubt attended by govt. eyes/ears. The concept of the "commons" remains problematic in clannish China. See my 4-minute Video "Bo Yang Meets John Trudell at the Chinese Bus Stop" https://vimeo.com/user9219483/videos
RE: China and " very different gov structure from what I'm used to".for the East-West divide..it's seems "the 'twain shall meet..." in the CorporateStates
Here on Bali we'll be developing freeTED Club for learners of English/Indonesian, using the English/Indonesian transcripts.Jul 24 2012: I hope this becomes a reality in South Africa.
TED is an educational institution that has contributed immensely to the propagation of good ideas, in fact, great ideas. TED has been a platform for insightful debates; and an avenue for asking questions and subjecting our answers to scrutiny.
This sort of training programme may not neccessarily be like the convention higher institution programme. One Saturday every month throughout the years of study should be enough.Jul 24 2012: 1. Yes, at Georgia Tech, there's a class called Ethics of the information age or something like that for Computer Science majors. It was a very thought-provoking class imo if I didn't skip for other projects to do lol
2. Having a class based on TedTalks is probably one of the best things that should happen. I think there should be a Freshman level introductory class for every college on this as a required core class that ALL freshman should take. There should be no hw assignments, only pure discussion. Maybe even have a forum of this or something.
3. I would most certainly be willing to, but I have another agenda that to me is even more important.
Jul 26 2012: I agree, but I would certainly have homework be it group project or independent study on advancing a current topic from day 1 lecture/discussion.
Jul 26 2012: Alright, sorry, I confused my definition of homework as "graded" assignments. But yeah, I think maybe breaking things down into small groups and having a small discussion about topics and turning it into a homework assignment or mini group project would be pretty cool.Jul 23 2012: Thanks for the vote of confidence :) Having a full blown TED class would be awesome! Honestly, I don't see how it work in our institution, but good luck to anyone who does! in the meantime, though, TED talks continue to enrich whatever we currently teach... as for the question of documentation, I haven't... not officially that is.Jul 20 2012: why not just enjoy TED talks. A university honors program is similiar, but more closed. Enjoy TED As the number of college graduates declines Here is another way to learn. Some american politicians are so hatreful they oppose NPR and PBS. Teh more options for self-learning the better. a great deal of PBS content is BBC Good job Brits. Let's have all the learning options we can havew. Self-learning is exactly what it says.
Jul 23 2012: George, this is why with the open revolution we must seek to break the molds holding us back.

Kansas City, MO (Sports Network) - Justin Verlander escaped a bases loaded jam in the ninth inning for his first win and complete game of the season as Detroit edged Kansas City, 3-2, in the opener of a three-game set.
Verlander (1-1) gave up two runs on seven hits with two walks, a hit batter and nine strikeouts in the 15th complete game of his career.
"It's not that easy to win a baseball game," said Verlander. "I told everybody this offseason that my goal is to be a better pitcher, not to have better numbers. I know that I might pitch better, but not have more wins or a lower earned run average."
Jhonny Peralta went 3-for-4 with a run scored while Brandon Inge hit a two- run home run and Austin Jackson added a solo shot for the Tigers, who have won their past two.
Billy Butler and Humberto Quintero each drove in a run for the Royals, who have dropped their past five. Danny Duffy (1-1) was touched for three runs on seven hits with a walk and seven strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings to suffer the loss.
The ninth inning started with Detroit holding a 3-1 lead and Butler singling to start. After Jeff Francouer grounded out and pinch-runner Jason Bourgeois took second on the play, Mike Moustakas grounded out to move Bourgeois to third.
Quintero then punched a single to center to make it a one-run game. Mitch Maier followed with a walk and Alcides Escobar was hit by a pitch to load the bases, but Verlander got Alex Gordon to look at a third strike to end the game.
Jackson led off the first with a shot over the wall in left, but in the bottom half Butler scored Gordon, who led off the first with a double, on a single to tie the game.
Peralta belted a double to center in the fifth, and Inge later hit his first homer of the season for a 3-1 lead.
"I made a mistake to Inge," said Duffy. "I thought I was executing pretty much every other pitch to the best of my ability, just made a mistake. I'm proud to call these guys my teammates because they battled their butts off."
Kansas City had runners on second and third with one out in the fifth, but Verlander struck out Gordon and got Chris Getz to line out to kill the threat.
Detroit took 11 of 18 from Kansas City last season...Duffy fell to 0-3 in four starts against the Tigers...Verlander is 14-2 in 20 career starts against the Royals and 5-0 in his last five...Verlander threw 131 pitches (85 strikes), which is one less than his career high.

Caleb Sturgis, K, Florida
Height: 5-11. Weight: 184.
Projected Round (2013): 5-7.
4/23/13: The first kicker to be selected will be either Sturgis or Hopkins. It is a coin flip as they are graded out equally.
Sturgis made 24-of-28 field goals in 2012. He had clutch kicks in the season opener against Texas A&M to help the Gators win on the road 20-17. Sturgis was 3-for-3 against Tennessee.
A few of Sturgis' misses came at inconsequential times against Bowling Green, Jacksonville State and Kentucky. He had three field goals against Vanderbilt that were valuable in a 31-17 win. Sturgis was clutch in the regular-season finale, going three-for-three on field goals against Florida State in an 11-point road victory for the Gators.
Sturgis was tremendous at the East-West Shrine. He was nailing kicks in the mid-50s with ease - straight down the middle. Sturgis had plenty of leg while showing a consistent motion to maintain accuracy. He had an impressive collegiate career and looks worthy of a draft pick on the third day of the 2013 NFL Draft.
