Theodore G. Eppenstein of Eppenstein and Eppenstein, the New York based law firm of securities fraud and commercial arbitration and litigation attorneys with over 25 years experience, who achieved a record recovery of almost $50 million dollars for their public investor clients in just one arbitration case, has proposed five simple steps to improve securities arbitration.

At the end of 2006 the SEC Commissioner, the NASD and the NYSE announced an agreement in principal to merge the arbitration and enforcement divisions of the NASD and NYSE. Amid the fanfare in favor of the merger, Commissioner Cox of the SEC pred 5a8 icted the merger would be good for the industry and good for the investor.

Texas Summer Camps for Kids at the University of Houston Launch Digital Careers

Video games they’re just for fun, right? Not necessarily. Studies show that children who play video games have increased critical thinking skills and are better at taking measured risks. According to “Got Game: How the Gamer Generation Is Reshaping Business Forever” by John C. Beck and Mitchell Wade, these gamers have also proven themselves to be serious about creating value in their lives and achieving success. Today’s digital kids aren’t just playing video games -- they are learning valuable lessons including how to create their very own.



Participants in iD Tech’s newest summer camp in Texas, like 10-year-old Owen McNeilly, can channel their passion for gaming into a new avenue for achieving success. Creating his own video game at one of iD Tech Camps computer camp last summer turned into a great opportunity for Owen to combine his love for gaming with his interest in technology. After just one week at camp, Owen is eager to become a professional game developer, a cutting edge occupation in a multi-billion dollar industry.

Breaking the Barriers in Language and Distance Learning -- Armstrong-Hilton Launches WebSwami 1.0

Armstrong-Hilton Limited, the language and communications training company, today announced the launch of WebSwami 1.0.

'The next leap forward in language and communications training'

Built on Adobe's Flash Technology, WebSwami incorporates enhanced mainstream e-learning activities as well as a number of unique features:

Straight-to-Server WebCam Video Recording - Both instructor and learner benefit from unique video recording capabilities, used for creating activities and giving performance feedback, and practicing realistic real-time simulations respectively.

Voice Graph - WebSwami includes a spectrograph which highlights changes in voice intonation as well as the more traditional stress fluctuations, resulting in more accurate pronunciation, effective subtle expression and increased fluency.

Centralized Student Tracking - Instructors access unmarked exercises from all assigned lessons and courses in one centralized list, ordered by submission time - saving time and ensuring prompt review/feedback.

Personalized Feedback - Video, audio and text feedback messages, from all courses and instructors, are delivered to the learner as soon as they log-in through a centralized message in-box to help maintain motivation and promote language self-awareness. Also, for the first time, enabling instructors to incorporate gestures and physical demonstrations, making e-learning as natural as classroom teaching.

Easy Course Creation - All instructors are empowered to create material quickly and easily by using the straight-to-server webcam recording capability, 1-click activity generation and a centralized course management system.

WebSwami's lead developer and designer, Gavin Ng said, "By using Flash Multimedia & video recording, we've taken the next leap forward in language and communications training. So far other systems have avoided integrating video recording, perhaps due to technical difficulty or believing video is inappropriate for learning spoken language. In contrast, we believe video is the missing ingredient in making online training more effective, more personal, and most importantly -- more motivating; especially when you take into account how poor completion and retention rates generally are in e-learning."...
