Becoming A Platform: How RunKeeper Continues To Keep Competitors At Bay
from the business-model-jujitsu dept
Since then, I've been following the situation with RunKeeper pretty closely (and got to meet CEO Jason Jacobs a few months ago, where we got to totally geek out on innovation and business models). Anyway, the company has now taken things to the next level, distancing itself even further from the competition. Over the past few years, the company has added ways for other data and systems to hook into RunKeeper, which has become a wider "fitness" app rather than just a running app. One of the things that the company developed during this time was a "Health Graph" that pulled a lot of this info together in a very useful manner:
Imagine a system that can identify correlations between a user's eating habits, workout schedule, social interactions and more, to deliver an ecosystem of health and fitness apps, websites, and sensor devices that really work, based on a user's own historical health and fitness data. The Health Graph has the potential to completely alter the health and fitness landscape.But where things get really interesting is that RunKeeper has now opened up the Health Graph API so that others can not just tap into Health Graph but build on it as well, basically letting all sorts of other services and devices build on this pretty cool and complete platform -- something which the other players in the space simply don't have:
What does this mean for device manufacturers and developers? They now have the opportunity to build an endless array of apps, that draw on the powerful data within the Health Graph. Health Graph developers also benefit from the social features on RunKeeper.com to gain exposure and drive sales. Social features, like our FitnessFeed and Facebook & Twitter sharing integrations, are a fundamental part of the RunKeeper.com experience; we're opening up these forums to apps and devices that build on the Health Graph, to provide our 6MM+ community members with easy access to all the tools that integrate with RunKeeper.

Back on April 3, the Bishop Hendricken tennis team lost its season opener to South Kingstown.
The Hawks haven't lost since.
Hendricken improved to 7-1 with a pair of victories last week. The Hawks swept both Mount St. Charles and Wheeler to maintain their stranglehold on second place in Division I-South. The Hawks are just ahead of 7-2 Barrington, which they beat 4-3 on April 10.
In Thursday's match against Mount St. Charles, the Hawks were playing without top singles player Nick Walsh but still had no trouble getting past the Mounties. Evan Chomka beat Evan McEldowney 6-2, 6-1 at No. 1 singles, Zach Prinscott topped Ryan Morin 6-4, 6-3 at No. 2, Jack Hoy beat Matthew Ceh Castillo in straight sets at No. 3 and Carlos Arciniegas, who moved up from the doubles ladder, beat Anthony Paglia 6-1, 6-0 for his first career singles win.
In doubles, Jeremy DiMeo and Matt Plouffe outlasted Jack Ricci and Travis Connolly for a 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 victory. Christian Boyer and Kelan Sullivan teamed up for a 6-0, 6-1 victory at No. 2 and Marcus Caron and Casey Hodor won 6-1, 6-4 at No. 3.
The next day, the Hawks kept rolling with a seep of Wheeler. Walsh beat Jeff Gagnon 6-2, 6-0 at No. 1 singles, with Chomka winning 6-0, 6-0 at No. 2. Prinscott won 6-0, 6-2 over Adam Marcuvtiz and Hoy beat Lucas Radoccia 6-0, 6-2. DiMeo and Plouffe teamed up for another three-set win at No. 1 doubles, while Boyer and Sullivan also won in three sets at No. 2 doubles. Arciniegas and Caron won 6-3, 6-0 at No. 3 doubles.
The Hawks were scheduled to be back in action Tuesday, but their match against Cumberland was postponed due to rain. Their next match is scheduled for today at 3:30 p.m. at La Salle.

And not all the people who watch animes see them as idealized people. A person I know kinda like Naru Narusegawa. But as he sees it, she's not perfect because too violent. So for this person, it's not an idealized girl who is depicted, but a good girl that also has a very bad quality.
I don't try to defend the original poster, but as I was talking about it with Lv23, people can't say that "all the girls depicted in anime" doesn't have similarities with some girls IRL. For instance, I do know a girl who has a personality near shirley's in CG. Fact is that even if she might be an ideal girl for a boy, I also do know some boys who will not like her personality at all.

I'll never understand the thought process of a woman who can't take a joke.
And when reading a post try to read the whole discussion it'll make more sense that way. >_>
On-topic; I tend to like 3D girls more even the personality. Though sometimes I just don't understand them, that what makes em more interesting, no?

For example, if I start to date a man and then discover that I don't fully understand his conception of Love. I will not see that as something interesting, but as a real problem.
And a silly example for the lulz, did you never meet an irritated girl who says that she doesn't understand why her BF and most of men like soccer so much? Since it can really irritate some girls here, I don't think they see that as an interesting situation But I admit that it is a silly example. Just refer to my first example that is something serious.

See.. thats what I said.. You dont understand his conception of love.. instead of considering that as his weakness.. you consider it as a problem. Not saying that you should, mind you.
I just take the closest example to me; myself .. My fiancee loooooooves shopping.. she can spend hours browsing and not end up with anything.. or headache on where to put the stuff she bought after her raids =.= And I'm her eternal shopping slave (and I still dont understand why she needs to buy new clothes every months as well). She also have other annoying traits.. I'm not a perfect guy either, but I accept that parts of her. I also have some traits that she dont like either but she still keeps up with my antics as well XD. And we survived for 10 years already .. 6 years officially as lover

I could accept some weaknesses, or rather behaviors and hobbies that I don't fully understand, but not something important as, for example, not wanting to have a baby with me without any understandable reason other than just "no". It would be a problem, really.
The point was that "that what makes em more interesting", but in this particular case, I will not see that as interesting. It will just make me sad and will leave me in total incomprehension. That was my point.

I was pretty fascinated by the fact that how naturally 2D girls can look without going through the process of play acting and excessive makeup (e.g Mio from K-On! and Honoka from Sorakake). Either that or I am having psychosis.
I am for 2D girls because I have yet to meet a girl who can withstand my boke behaviour in front of others, and being in a society in which the female population is pretty high-achieving, high-strung and high-maintainence by default, I would rather have a 2D girl.

Reading nice anecdotes like what you've written makes me smile, I shall thank you too
Also, you can be a natural beauty and for instance use foundation cream. Why? Because it can make you look even more pretty, and because many foundation creams are actually good for the skin. And you don't have to put a lot of cream.
I won't say that putting make-up is an Art, but it's not just something that you put carelessly on your face. It can actually have the opposite effect if you don't use it the right way.
About dying hair, I don't like that, but it's a personal opinion.

I know one that ended up breaking up with her boyfriend because she couldn't stand not knowing what was going on on that guy's mind. Anyway usually girls complain about boys not being honest with their emotions, and the fact they do not talk too much about what they thinks. therefore they can't understand them.
One common situation:
Girl: "What are you thinking?"
Boy: "Nothing..."
Girl: "That's not possible! You were thinking about something!"
Boy: "It was... it was really nothing important..."
Girl: "Why you never tell me what are you thinking?!"

Now mere days away from my half-way point of 100 Days Homemade, some realizations have become glaringly obvious:
- Mixology matters.
- My girlfriend really likes soup.
- Life is possible without a microwave.
- One can incorporate a LOT of lentils into their life.
- There is a seemingly never-ending supply of rice in my apartment.
- With a bigger focus on budgeting, I've lost a lot of my normal excitement for dining out.
- Equally worth note: my apartment surprisingly has a cooling unit while many Portland restaurants do not.
- I'm having a grand old-time and looking forward to VeganMoFo with a renewed, thematically-inclined enthusiasm.
With that, a look back, and a new-found appreciation for lentil soup.
Life's been about black-eyed peas, lentils, chickpeas, more lentils, and berries.
Most summers, I try to make it berry picking on Sauvie Island at least once. Yes, it's local, fresh and fun (and tasty), but most importantly, I'm telling you – it's a therapeutic experience. This time, we were able to pick raspberries and blackberries, in addition to buying early blueberries from the farm, and I have three things in mind: 1) pie 2) pancakes and 3) liquor. That was possibly in order of importance.
Next up, a duo.
The Bún had pan-fried lemongrass tofu, carrots and broccolini with sliced cucumber, cold vermicelli noodles and Thai basil. The peanut sauce, an Isa Does It tester, has been making an appearance in many meals lately. For me, a bún is one of those dishes that you kick yourself for forgetting about making for months and months. This was also my very first time making hot & sour soup, and I never realized it was SO EASY and that I had access to non-canned bamboo shoots. Thank you, Fubonn.
J. Legume is trying to get her Veggie Grillhabit down to no more than once a week. I can't say I'm helping. I can say that I've found that subbing tempeh for chickin' in burgers is my new favorite order.
Speaking of my lovely girlfriend…
Finally, we return to the important business of homemade liquors.
About that…
In many traditional recipes, the sugar soaks through the fruit for 24 hours, the liquid is added, and you have two months to plan your cocktail party. All the fruit used above, with the exception of the lemongrass and cranberries (to add a tart element when not using sour cherries), is from my local farmers markets. Lemongrass can be found occasionally, but not any regular or reliable basis. Lemongrass in my fridge is another story.
I crave Chiang Mai's famous dish on a regular basis. This was the first time I'd attempted to recreate it – barring some changes – since I'd spent some time in Thailand over the winter. This was also the first time I've made it with wheat noodles vs. the rice noodles that are subbed for vegans. I've decided that I do prefer the silky rice noodles – which Pok Pok also does in town, but it comes no where close to the memory of Aum's mushroom broth version. Sigh.
The photo of the beet burger below makes me so damn relieved that I finally chose a new camera.
And then, this happened:
This pizza was possibly the best part of 100 Days so far.
Curious about the current state of events? Follow along on my Instagram with the 100 Days Homemade tag.
51 days remain! A new camera has arrived! Pickles are trending!

I caught a moment of sunshine this morning and got busy with the documentation. Or evidence, if you will, of my very crafty Saturday.
Nothing but knitting, the whole darn day. It was just what I needed.
Twenty eleven is finished, blocked, and awaiting buttons.
I love how very sheepy this yarn is: I swear, it sheds more than Alice … I keep finding bits all over the house or in my books, on my clothes … everywhere.
As you can see, I added some rather dramatic waist shaping. I wanted it to cinch at the waist, and cinch it does. Let's just hope it's not too much, since I did also want it to close without extensive corsetry or girdles … I did try it on about a million times while knitting, just to make sure, but still … one never knows. And I eat a lot of pizza.
It's that "awaiting buttons" part that are going to be a challenge. I was set on bright blue or turquoise buttons and, indeed, that was what I found.
14 of them; 14 buttons that were suprisingly expensive when bought in quantities exceeding two or three. But I was impatient to find buttons and didn't want to wait … so, very precious buttons it is. I plan on spending the afternoon stitching … and stitching …
Not that the cardigan is going anywhere.
Alice has got this.
And I'm already daydreaming about new projects …
Happy Sunday! I'm dreading the return to the real world tomorrow, but at least I got some sleep. And have a pretty new cardigan to wear.

Duff McKagan Praises Slipknot, Motorhead and More in Mayhem Fest Recap
Former Guns N' Roses bassist Duff McKagan was one of the crowd members at the Seattle area stop of the current Mayhem Festival tour. McKagan has a column at Seattle Weekly and took the opportunity to write about his Mayhem Fest experience.
McKagan revealed himself to be a huge fan of many 2012 Mayhem Fest bands within his writing. "With Anthrax, Motorhead, Asking Alexandria, Slayer, and the mighty Slipknot in town, there was no way I could NOT go to this thing (if you rock and Motorhead is playing anywhere within a 100-mile radius, it is your duty to go . . . or you are not so "rock" after all . . . unless your daughter has a ballet recital, of course . . . or your wife reminds you that it's date night)," writes McKagan.
McKagan gave special mention to Anthrax and the band's massive re-emergence, Slayer for their "mean as hell" live performance and Motorhead, who McKagan referred to as, "The best. The gnarliest. The funniest. The loudest." In fact, McKagan joined Motorhead for a performance of 'Killed by Death' at the show. Watch the video below.
The bassist also gave top accolades to the Mayhem headliners Slipknot. Citing the 2010 passing of bassist Paul Gray, McKagan was totally amped during Slipknot's performance, commending the band for their strength to endure. "Slipknot are back in a big way. They have a huge worldwide audience that will seemingly forever support this endeavor."
Read McKagan's full Mayhem Festival recap at Seattle Weekly, and see him jam with Motorhead below:

Talk about a bait-and-switch. Male representatives of the tropical fish known as swordtail characins have flag-like sex ornaments that catch mates just like the bait on a fishing rod would. What's more, a study reported online on July 12 in Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, shows just what any good fly-fisherman would know: Lures work best if they mimic the foods that fish most often eat. For some characins in the study, that means males are waving pretend ants around in hopes of getting a bite. "This is a natural example of a fishing lure designed to maximize the chance to catch a fish," said Niclas Kolm of Uppsala University. "In this case, it is not just any fish, however -- it is a fish of the opposite sex that the lure is designed to catch."
The findings also lend support to the notion that sensory drive can encourage fish and other animals to diversify and ultimately to become separate species. Sensory drive is the idea that communication signals will work best when they are a good match for their surroundings and that they will diversify when those surroundings vary.
The characins living in Trinidad show considerable variation in the shape of male sex ornaments, and the researchers suspected that those differences might have something to do with what they eat. The fish mainly eat bugs, including ants, beetles, springtails, and fly larvae, which fall onto the water surface. In some populations, characins eat mostly ants, while in others they eat few.
Kolm's team now confirms that characins that mainly eat ants also carry sex ornaments that look more like ants. Studies in the lab also show that females who have been fed on ants prefer to bite at the ornaments of males from populations that mainly eat ants. That's presumably because those females rapidly develop a search image for ants.
The findings show that sensory drive can promote differences among populations based entirely on other species in the community, even when all other environmental factors are the same. They also blur the distinction between food and mate preferences, the researchers say.
In this case, it seems, the best mate is also the one that looks most like dinner.

Blitzen wrote:Do you have something against me or do you just like to agitate people?
You're seriously asking whether or not I like to agitate people? Where do you think BrikWars came from?
Answer Version 1: I stand firm against anyone who thinks they're right about anything*, both on this website and in real life. It's kind of the conceptual seed from which all of BrikWars grows. You've just been unlucky lately because you let yourself get caught thinking you're right more often than most of the other folks around here, and my compulsion drives me to oppose it.
Answer Version 2: To look from a different angle, I do my best to disagree with almost everything, but really I think the people who are worried about being right are the only ones who are bothered by it.
* - footnote: I want to especially emphasize here that I make no distinction whether or not people are actually right about anything, because I can't be bothered. Also because that would be falling into exactly the same trap.
Here's my feeling on the subject: all the most terrible crimes and atrocities in human experience, from genocide to arguing with your spouse, can be traced to a single root cause: people who think they're right. All the greatest discoveries and innovations and advances, on the other hand, from inventing the transistor to raising children, can be traced to the opposite source: people who have no idea what the hell they're doing. Therefore as my primary principle, overriding all others, is that I'm against the idea that it's good to value being right about things. Once things start getting too right they need to be made wrong in a hurry. It's the only way to be safe.

Since the advent of Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), compliance has been a priority, right alongside business strategy, competitiveness and risk management.
With every review cycle, compliance standards are enhanced. Stricter stress testing standards have posed challenges, particularly for bank holding companies (BHCs), around testing and validating their stress testing models.
Having the right models in place—and validating them properly—is vital. Our paper, Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review: Industry Practices in Model Validation, can help BHCs build and test strong stress testing models, saving them from the risk of failure—but also giving them a crucial competitive advantage.

Teacher resources and professional development across the curriculum
Teacher professional development and classroom resources across the curriculum
To explore America's story as it was first told, 12 high school and middle school American history teachers gathered for a week-long workshop that was captured on video. Together with prominent college professors, they investigated topics in American history through lecture and discussion, research and role-play. To prepare, they read primary sources—the original documents that transmit the voices of America's past—and viewed videos from the companion series A Biography of America. Each Primary Sources video consists of a lecture, group activities, and interviews with teachers and scholars. The programs are as follows:

SCON-KIT/ PRO quick manual
From NAS-Central Buffalo - The Linkstation Wiki
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Attach a Serial Header to the Daughterboard
- 3 Use the SCON-KIT as a USB/TTL converter
- 4 References
- SCON-KIT/PRO is a serial console connection kit for KURO/BOX/PRO
- You will need a SOLDERING IRON for this kit
- The chance of a guarantee for refund is only for the first time when it does not work
- The terms of the guarantee depend on the store you bought the kit from
- No repair or support service for this kit is available
- The help page for this product is at:
HELP ME! BBS http://kuroutoshikou.com/modules/kurobbs/?iid=992
|USB Type A
|USB board FTDI FT232RL
|KuroBox Pro Daughterboard
Scon Kit Pinout
KuroBox Pro UART0 Pinout
The SCON-KIT would be very difficult to get in the US/Europe. You would likely have to use a different Serial Converter
The serial port signals from the processor are only 3.3V. For proper RS-232 12V signaling, an RS-232 level shifter needs to be added. These are very common in PDA serial cables also, but can be purchased
Build your own LVTTL/RS232 or LVTTL/USB interface
- LVTTL/RS232 - Building a Custom Serial Interface
- LVTTL/USB - Use a Nokia Serial Cable on an ARM9 Linkstation
- LVTTL/USB - Use a cheap phone sync cable with the serial port
Buy your own TTL Level Shifter
- LVTTL/RS232 - MAX232 based from Futurelec - MINIRS2323V
- LVTTL/USB - FTDI chip based cable - TTL-232R-3V3
Usage considerations for the TTL-232R-3V3
A working/tested pinout/wire-color scheme is:
- Solder the 4-pin header to the board. Make sure you don't have shorts.
- You will need to switch wires on the TTL-232R-3V3 cable. Use a sharp object to lift the plastic tabs and carefully pull the wires out. Rearrange them according to the table above (black, empty, orange, yellow, empty, empty) and slide those wires back in. Tape the other wires to make sure they don't short anything.
- When plugging in the cable, make sure black aligns with GND, yellow with TXD, and orange with RXD.
- Connect the USB cable to your computer, start a terminal program with the right settings.
- Turn on the device, you should see output from the bootloader in couple seconds.
Attach a Serial Header to the Daughterboard
- Do not insert/extract or push/pull attached connector frequently
- Do not put stress on connector and base
- Do not attach connector when the power of KURO-BOX/PRO is on
- You will need terminal software
Attach Serial Header to circuit board by soldering iron make sure the AC plug is off.
- Open front panel of KURO-BOX/PRO, take the HDD daughter board out.
- Put the serial header onto UART0.
- Make sure that pin No.1 matches to TXD.
- Attach with a soldering iron from the back of the base.
- Put the daughterboard back onto the KURO-BOX/PRO
Use the SCON-KIT as a USB/TTL converter
Connection of SCON-KIT/PRO
- Connect SCON-KIT/PRO and UART0 on the sub base of KURO-BOX/PRO by using the patch cord
- Do not connect to the PC yet.
Get the appropriate COM port driver and install
- Download the appropriate COM port driver for FT232R from the URL below
- Connect the SCON-KIT/PRO to the USB port of PC. Install the driver which you downloaded.
- Open Device manager and check which COM port is used.
Set up the terminal software
- Start terminal software. Use your COM port. Use the following for serial port settings:
KURO-BOX/PRO UART Specifications
|Data bits
|Stop bits
|Flow Control
Example: the way to setup using "HyperTerminal" in WindowsXP/2000
|Other OS/Terminal Emulators
- Start "HyperTerminal" and register a name for the new connection
- Connection method: the COM port which you checked before (in this case COM5)
- See KURO-BOX/ PRO UART specification and set up the port
- You should see the output in this picture when you start the KURO-BOX/PRO

Dayton Signs Law Broadening Medicaid in Minnesota
ST. PAUL (AP) - Minnesota has accepted a federal offer to put more low-income people on a state-fashioned Medicaid program with the costs falling to the federal government.
Gov. Mark Dayton on Tuesday signed a bill authorizing the expansion that affects more than 35,000 people. For instance, childless adults making less than $15,000 a year will be eligible for the government-sponsored Medical Assistance coverage.
Thousands more people who are on the premium-based MinnesotaCare plan will be shifted to the Medical Assistance program.
The Democratic-led Legislature approved the expansion last week. It's connected to the new federal health insurance law, which has caused Republican leaders in other states to balk.
The federal government has committed to paying all extra costs for the first few years. By 2020, the state will have to pay 10 percent.

Burger King (NYSE:BKW) nearly doubled its profit and topped Wall Street expectations in the fourth quarter, as sales at its more established restaurants continued to improve and the company moved forward with expansion efforts.
Continue Reading Below
The Miami-based fast-food chain on Friday posted net income of $48.6 million, or 14 cents a share, compared with a year-earlier profit of $25 million, or 7 cents.
Excluding one-time items, Burger King said it earned 23 cents on an adjusted basis, besting average analyst estimates of 15 cents in a Thomson Reuters poll.
Revenue for the three months ended Dec. 31 fell 30.3% to $404.5 million from $580.6 million a year ago. However, the performance topped the Street's view of $375.3 million.
"We had a strong finish to the year and made significant progress on key strategic initiatives," said Burger King CEO Bernardo Hees. "We continue to capitalize on our brand by growing globally."
The company in fiscal 2012 added 485 net new restaurants and reported an increase in same-store sales, a key growth metric that measures those at stores open longer than a year, of 3.2%.
Also during the year, Burger King announced five master franchise joint ventures and seven new development agreements in key growth markets. It remodeled about 600 stores in the U.S. and Canada to a more "modern image" and lowered annual debt costs by $25 million.
Shares of Burger King climbed nearly 3% Friday morning to $17.

Due to the interest in my Steam Powered Troopers I thought I'd show you the newly arrived Mk III model that has been built to the specs of the Royal Marines.
The Mk III has many similarities to the earlier Mk II, the main difference being in the occular and central processing unit (its head) and the mounting for the heavy cannon. The upper leg joints are also reinforced as compared with the Mk II.
Already the Dinoreich Militia's Mk II Steam Powered Trooper has benefited from the Mk III's arrival as the mounting for its two pounder cannon has been rebuilt to the new design which has made it much safer in the heat of battle (It would sometimes come adrift when fired).
I think this will be the only Mk III to arrive on Dinoreich as it will be more likely for obsolete Mk IIs to be sent from now on as the Mk III replaces them in the other sectors of the Britannian League.

Oregon Counseling Psychology Graduate Degree & Schools
As a human-centered specialty within the field of psychology, students may find more top options for Counseling Psychology Graduate Degrees on-campus programs on campus than in other formats. Choosing a graduate school for counseling psychology means learning in a real classroom, being able to participate and interact with fellow classmates and professors. Counseling psychologists may diagnose and treat mental disorders; learning disabilities; and behavioral, cognitive and emotional problems in a variety of settings including college and university counseling centers, hospitals, independent practices, healthcare settings and organizational counseling groups. If you are someone who thrives in a social learning atmosphere, looking into best accredited counseling psychology graduate schools is worth considering.
Counseling Psychology Graduate Degrees: Basics
Counseling Psychology Graduate Degrees are offered as graduate certificates, masters and doctorate degrees in both PsyD programs and PhD in Counseling Psychology. Counseling Psychology is considered a specialty field within psychology but there are also other disciplines that relate to it depending on whether you aspire to practice as a licensed psychologist, counselor or therapist. For instance, some of the programs you can select from include:
- Art Therapy
- Career Counseling
- Counseling Therapy
- Marriage and Family Counseling
- Rehabilitation Counseling
- Substance Abuse Counseling
FACT The field of counseling psychology is characterized by long roots in vocational psychology, prevention, primary interventions, advocacy, and an emphasis on individual differences [i].
Why Choose an Accredited Graduate School for Counseling Psychology?
Keep in mind that the American Psychological Association only accredits doctoral programs in clinical, counseling and school psychology; internships, postdoctoral residency programs and combination programs[ii]. Accreditation is important since Psychology is a heavily regulated field; most states require those practicing psychology or using the title 'psychologist' to be licensed which means taking the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology.[iii] According to the APA, "If you wish to pursue licensure, it is important to know that some states require that students have a degree from an APA-accredited program"[iv]
Potential Perks to Earning Your Counseling Psychology Degree On-Campus:
While it is a personal choice whether to earn your Counseling Psychology Graduate Degree On-campus as opposed to online, there are a few potential benefits to in-person learning. Here are a few points to consider:
Presence: For sure some learning is textbook-oriented but what about the education one receives via demonstration or from the dialogue and participation between students and their professors? This invaluable social component may help, especially in person-centered fields where students are in grad school to fine tune their communication and interpersonal skills as much as study theory. In fact, even online programs are likely to have campus requirements for these reasons.
Convenience: You might actually find that some graduate schools for counseling psychology cater to busy working professionals by offering classes during the evenings or on weekends.
Access: Being on campus you gain access to all the onsite facilities such as libraries, laboratories, student services and whatever cafeteria you might need to get your java as you burn the midnight oil studying hard.
Participation: There may be activities, lectures or faculty related meetings that you can participate in to give you the chance to network.
Which Counseling Psychology Graduate On-Campus Program is Right for you?
While there is some overlap between counseling, therapy and counseling psychology, each of these 3 different paths has different educational requirements. For instance, some of the program listings you might find could include: Psy.D. Marital and Family Therapy, Master of Arts in Counseling: Specialization in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Art Therapy Counseling, or Masters in Counseling Psychology.
You need to ask yourself whether you are looking for a Counseling Psychology Graduate Degree that prepares you to seek entry-level employment upon graduation or whether you aspire to research, teach or ultimately use the title "Counseling Psychologist" on your business card. Ultimately, graduate school is the time to leverage your strengths as well as research a topic that you are passionate about. There 3 main directions you might take for your Counseling Psychology Graduate Degree could be considered as:
Counselor (e.g. Rehabilitation counselor or mental health counselor)
Therapist (e.g. Marriage and Family Therapist)
Counseling Psychologist
FACT: Sample titles for counseling psychologists include Applied Behavior Science Specialists (ABSS), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Psychotherapist.[v]
The Counselor
Essentially, as in the case with Mental Health Counselors, the typical entry level education required is a Master's Degree and a license to practice. Licensure is going to mean about 2,000 to 4,000 hours of post-degree supervised clinical practice experience, and then to pass a state exam. The master's degree is typically in psychology, clinical mental health counseling, marriage and family therapy, or a related mental health field.[vi]
The MFT
Therapist roles, such as the Marriage and Family Therapist have the same education requirements as Licensed Counselors. Those who aspire to research or work in higher education would need a doctoral degree, but a masters in Marriage and Family Therapy degree is considered entry-level work credentials (plus licensing etc.). The masters programs are usually 2-years.
The Counseling Psychologist
Counseling psychologists need a doctoral degree – either the PsyD or the PhD. A counseling psychologist generally spends at least four years earning the degree. The PhD is the more traditional degree; it places more emphasis on research and takes a little longer to complete. The PsyD degree is practice-oriented, but includes far more training in assessments than an LMFT program. In terms of academic requirements, they are generally higher for psychology.

International Stage Is Set For Audi Melges 20 U.S. Nationals 2009
20 August 2009
Since its debut at Key West Race Week 2009, the Audi Melges 20 has taken the sailing world by storm with its ultra cool lines, sleek hull and big appetite for seriously competitive racing. Thus far, the Audi Melges 20 has been awarded 2009 Sailing World One Design Boat of The Year, impressed sailors multiple times over and inspired a driving desire for simplified sailing — a key feature of this young, aspiring fleet full of growth potential and prosperity.
Look even closer to those that helm, serve as tactician and crew. At the heart of every Audi Melges 20 worldwide, there is a maturing league of dedicated and loyal Melges sailing diehards - anxious for speed and challenging yacht racing.
This weekend, on August 21-23, hosted by the Macatawa Bay Yacht Club (MBYC), fourteen Audi Melges 20s will commence the very first Audi Melges 20 U.S. National Championship with Sebago as the official footwear sponsor.
"There is an undeniable buzz in the air at MBYC. Everyone is incredibly excited. We are especially thrilled that we are the first to be able to hold the National Championship for the Audi Melges 20. Boats are already here. As you walk through the parking lot you can just feel the energy," says Regatta Chair Michael Kiss.
The vast majority of the competitors are from the Michigan area. Entrants include Chuck Holzman on Flyer, Charleston Race Week Champion Marc Hollerbach on Blackjack, Detroit NOOD Champ Eric Wynsma on Superfly and John Arendshorst on Blink. Several teams are traveling from all parts of the U.S.A. to participate including Joe Williams from Seattle, Wash. on Habit, Dave Hammett from the Severn Sailing Association in Annapolis, Md. on Simplified Sophistication and Pieter Taselaar from New York, N.Y. on Bliksem.
Taselaar's rise to Melges fame came to be and is ongoing predominantly in the International Melges 32 Class. This weekend he tries his hand at the Audi Melges 20. Plan on seeing members of his star-studded champion team in Macatawa such as Morning Light star Jeremy Wilmot calling tactics and Willem Van Waay as crew.
The origin of competition that awaits the fleet has no parameters. Breaking the border is John Sherlock from Port Credit, Canada sailing his Audi Melges 20 CAN-141.
Traveling all the way from Italy are two very strong competitors — Marco Morino on Sei Tu 20 and current Audi Melges 20 Sailing Series leader Benedetto Giallongo on Value Team. They are raring and ready to try their luck at racing in the U.S.A. Giallongo is currently undefeated in the Audi Sailing Series 2009. It's pretty safe to assume this fleet has officially put him on notice.
Registration takes place on Thursday, August 20 with championship racing kicking off on Friday and continuing until Sunday. Full race reports and results will be published after racing each day.
Stay tuned to the Official Audi Melges 20 Web Site, the Official Audi Melges 20 Blog, Melges.com and Melgeseurope.com for all the details. You can also follow the Audi Melges 20 on Twitter. Join, bookmark and subscribe today to stay on top of all things Audi Melges 20.

I put this topic in here because Im sure lots of Roman Catholics will like their say.I want to know if the Orthodox have a teaching on where the nails were placed on our Lord. In the middle of the hands/feet, or in the wrists/ankles?Also, I've heard the Roman Catholics are pretty stern on this...is that true?PP
And FWIW, these are our Fathers too, you know.
The nails could have very well went through the palms rather than the wrists because the crucifixion is sometimes portrayed with Jesus' arms also being bound to the cross with a rope before the nails are ran through the palms. That would eliminate the whole how-much-weight-can-the-palms-withstand controversy.
If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.

High Peak parents are being encouraged to attend internet lessons as police headed back to class to chat to students about staying safe and online dangers.
Officers from the Glossop Safer Neighbourhood Team have been working in partnership with Glossopdale Community College and Saint Philip Howard Catholic School to deliver lessons to year seven pupils about staying safe online.
The team have been engaging with students around issues such as sexual exploitation, cyber bullying and the consequences of shoplifting.
Parents are now being invited to attend a parents evening at 6.30pm at St Philip Howard Catholic School on February 26 and Glossopdale Community College March 5 about the ways that they can protect their children online.
PC Julian Gallagher from the Glossop Safer Neighbourhood Policing Team said: "We had a positive response from the class and I would like to encourage parents to attend the evening to receive similar advice as the students and information about how you can further encourage safe internet use at home."

What could be better than watching the big game from your own couch on a high-definition TV with your choice of snacks and adult beverages? Would-be ticket buyers are asking this very question, so the National Football League and many of its 32 teams are pulling out all the stops to provide a better experience for fans who make it to the stadium.
Free WiFi access is just one perk that the NFL wants teams to provide. On Thursday Extreme Networks announced that it had been selected as the official WiFi analytics provider for the league and Super Bowl XLVIII. Extreme Networks clinched the deal due in part to successful deployments of its WiFi network infrastructure and analytics software by the New England Patriots and Philadelphia Eagles.
"Enhancing the fan experience is one of the NFL's top priorities and the decision to team up with Extreme for WiFi analytics is a great step forward," said NFL CIO Michelle McKenna-Doyle in a statement. "We were impressed with Extreme's implementations with the Patriots and the Eagles, and we believe this agreement will help our clubs give our fans the type of experience they deserve."
[Want more on state-of-the-art "fanalytics?" Read 4 Analytics Lessons From Professional Sports.]
Just how does WiFi enhance the football experience? For starters, most teams have a game-day app with integrated video capabilities. Fans can call up instant replays on demand and they can also check out the view from specific cameras throughout the stadium. Fans can also use NFL Red Zone app capabilities to watch highlights or even other games. Some of these apps also let you order food and beverages from your seat.
So what will the NFL and individual teams learn from WiFi analytics? The possibilities are just beginning to be explored, according to Mike Leibovitz, Extreme Networks' director of mobility and applications. "Right now [the league] is trying to ensure that fans can get onto the network and then see the different types of devices that are on the network, whether that's Apple or Android and so on, at what times during the game," Leibovitz told InformationWeek in a phone interview.
Future uses will include pattern analysis of which apps and capabilities are being used at which times during the game and where within the stadium, whether they are NFL apps, team apps, or mainstream social apps such as Twitter or Facebook. These insights could be used to make decisions about concession service levels, promotions, or game-time advertising, and Leibovitz insists it's about anonymous, aggregate analysis, "not snooping on people."
Of course fans can also rely on their mobile networks for connectivity during games, and some mobile networks offer their own analytic capabilities. Precision Marketing Insights from Verizon, for example, offers browser and in-app targeted mobile advertising. Because a mobile network provider has data on its subscribers, it can also target by zip code, demographics, and interest attributes.
The appeal of WiFi networks is that fans get free, capacious bandwidth, while teams and the NFL own the data and the insights. "Even with LTE connectivity, mobile networks simply can't provide the capacity that's required," Leibovitz said.
Only about a third of NFL stadiums are currently equipped with WiFi. Extreme Networks also provides its analytics software -- though not the WiFi infrastructure -- used at the Detroit Lions' Ford Field and at MetLife Stadium, site of the upcoming Super Bowl. NFL's "official" designation means that Extreme Networks' analytics software will be used in all WiFi-equipped stadiums. The company's WiFi infrastrucutre is recommended to teams installing WiFi in their stadiums, but it is not the only hardware teams can choose.
