Rosetta Stone (RST): Will IPO translate to profits?
2009-05-29 13:00:00 "The hottest IPO of late has been the offering from language instruction company Rosetta Stone (NYSE: RST)." notes Bill Martin.In his BullMarket.com, he suggests, "The desire, not to mention need, to learn other languages in a global economy means the company is looking at a potentially huge market." Here's his review of the IPO."Shares of Rosetta Stone were priced at $18, which itself was above the anticipated range, but the price surged in the company's first day of trading on April 16th. The stock rose to $32.54 before retreating."Rosetta Stone was the first IPO to price above its expected range in almost a year. The appetite for the company's shares was attributed to the fact it is a strong company with an established business model that people could understand."The company describes itself as a provider of technology-based language learning solutions. It develops, markets, and sells language programs that consist of software, onlin...

NPR Post on Sister Rosetta Tharpe
2009-03-21 22:57:00 As I type this I'm listening to an NPR report on Sister Rosetta Tharpe. A marker was recently placed on her grave.Today would have marked the 94th birthday of pioneering singer and guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She was a major influence on two generations of rock and soul musicians, but Tharpe is practically unknown today ? so unknown that she didn't have a proper headstone until recently."She would sing until you cried and then she would sing until you danced for joy. She helped to keep the church alive, and the saints rejoicing." Sister Rosetta Tharpe @SqueezeMyLemonSister Rosetta Tharpe @Amazon.com

The Avalanche Rosetta Stone
2008-03-24 15:35:00 In my last post, a recap of the 7-5 loss to Edmonton, I went out on a limb and tried to translate a seemingly innocent statement by Joe Sakic---that the team wasn't prepared to play Edmonton---to mean that the players were frustrated with Joel Quenneville and the rest of the Avalanche coaching staff. I said: Now, that quote can be read two ways. Either the players just came out in the first period and didn't care, didn't play hard enough, and it's all their fault. Or---and I admit this is pretty paranoid and maybe a major bit of reaching---they weren't prepared for the game by the coaching staff. Super Joe, infamous for his simple, matter-of-fact comments to reporters' questions, could be speaking in code these days. Is he blaming himself and the other players, or are his quotes a veiled cry for help? Is he trying to tell the world that the coaching is at fault without actually saying it? I wonder, but that's probably just me. Lots of ...

Mix08 - Session 1 - From Flash to Silverlight - A Rosetta Stone
2008-03-06 01:04:00 There are lots of similarities and lots of differences in the way Silverlight operates as compared to Flash. This session covers some of those, as well as some of the improvements to Silverlight 2 Beta 1. Basics In Silverlight 2, all objects now inherit from the userControls base class. In Flash, X and Y are properties, you could create a "ball" object, and get and set X and Y as properties to make it more like Flash The Point object is similar to the mouse object in Flash. Create a Point and call it mouse, and the C# starts to look a lot like ActionScript in Flash. The Helvetica of Easing Algorithms This is a cool and very simple effect that is used regularly in Flash. Using storyboards and the X and Y properties you just created, you can calculate the distance between the click point and an object (a ball, etc), take a percentage(like 12% or 20%), and continually call the storyboard, making the object move across the canvas. Something like b...

Rosetta Stone Spanish software
2008-02-27 18:50:00 In my experience as a Spanish language teacher, you can learn vocabulary and grammar faster with cd-roms than with most other methods. Rosetta Stone is particularly good for beginners and refreshers. It’s also one of the best choices if you want to have a good accent. The reason why my students like Rosetta Stone so much is because it makes learning Spanish fun and interesting. It motivates you
Pennsylvania Governor Declares Sister Rosetta Tharpe Day
2008-01-04 05:33:00 Governor Edward G. Rendell of Pennsylvania has declared January 11 as Sister Rosetta Tharpe Day. As part of the festivities, the surviving family of Tharpe will come together for a charity concert to salute the gospel legend. Among those performing will be the Dixie Hummingbirds, Willa Ward and Odetta. Proceeds go to the Community Scholarship Program at Temple University.In a statement, Rendell said "Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a pioneering gospel singer, songwriter, and recording artist. She took gospel music into the mainstream with her unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and early rock accompaniment. She became the first great recording star of gospel music, first surfacing on the pop charts with her 1938 original composition This Train. As she crossed the line between sacred and secular, her witty, idiosyncratic style also left a lasting mark on more conventional gospel artists, such as Ira Tucker Sr., of the Dixie Hummingbirds. Sister Rosetta Tharpe's soprano singing voice, mas...
The Rosetta Stone
2008-01-01 04:01:00 For those of you who don't know what the Rosetta Stone is, it's a big freakin' rock etched around 196 B.C.E. and found by some French guy in the 1700s. Basically, it's a stone with three different types of hieroglyphs chiseled into it, one translating the other before it. Why am I schooling you guys? Well because, I found a kickass rub of it somewhere in the abyss that is the internet. Trust me guys this is a deal; it's the best look you can get of it without pressing your face against museum glass. Check it out here.

Filippo e Rosetta, dopo 51 anni su un blog: l'emozione dell'Amore
2007-12-09 14:30:00 Filippo e Rosetta non avrebbero mai potuto immaginare che 51 anni dopo le loro intimissime lettere sarebbero state pubblicate su un blog. Di loro non sappiamo nulla, non sappiamo nemmeno se si sono poi sposati nel mese di settebre del 1956, ma a me piace credere di sì; non sappiamo se poi hanno avuto una vita felice e non sappiamo se sono ancora tra di noi. Abbiamo conosciuto, però, chi erano attraverso le loro parole: siamo entrati nella loro vita di allora, siamo stati lontanissimi testimoni del loro ardore. E non so se la stessa cosa vale anche per voi, però adesso ho una enorme curiosità di saperne più di loro ed indagherò, non solo sperando di trovare qualche altra lettera, ma soprattutto cercando e magari ottenendo informazioni che mi possano condurre a loro. Abbiamo letto che furono pienamente immersi in un amore compiuto, un amore che è passione ed affetto allo stesso tempo (e Catullo soleva dire alla sua Lesbia te amo et te b...

Le lettere di Filippo e Rosetta, due semplicissimi siciliani, in diretta da
2007-12-09 01:02:00 Nel 1956 la prima trasmissione televisiva era vecchia solo di due anni e gli italiani stavano imparando ad essere più uniti socialmente ed a parlare una sola lingua, da Bolzano a Lampedusa. Per internet bisognava aspettare tantissimo tempo e le comunicazioni personali avvenivano, se non era possibile farle face-to-face, più con le lettere che con il telefono, che allora non possedevano affatto tutti. Ed al 1956 appartiene un carteggio tra due promessi sposi della Sicilia che ho trovato per caso, in mezzo a buste antiche donatemi da mio zio Giuseppe, che condivide con me la passione per la storia di Palermo. Il loro italiano non è assolutamente perfetto, anzi è molto approssimativo e spesso scritto con una grafia incomprensibile ma traspare da esso il tentativo di usarlo per trasmettere emozioni l'uno all'altro, da fare emergere attraverso ogni singola parola di quei fogli ingialliti dal tempo che oggi ho avuto per la prima volta tra le mani. Ed ho decis...

Pimsleur or Rosetta Stone?I love Dr. Pimsleur approach about languages learning. Dr Pimsleur said: "Language learned in the natural, organic, back and forth of regular conversation is not only better and more easily remembered, it's learned with context and intention that makes its quick and pliant utilization possible." Pimsleur courses are based on listening only. Rosetta Stone is slightly different - it uses interactive elements and pictures. Amazon.com WidgetsA Store For Languages Lovers Christmas is coming!

Rosetta Stone Releases Interactive Mohawk Language Software
2007-11-05 09:00:00 Language is a living thing - and evolves, and as such, it's important to help to keep some lanauges alive. Rosetta Stone is coming to the aid of languages whose speakers are losing number. Not only to allow people to understand the spoken word, but to help people understand a culture. The Endangered Language Program is an important project to highlight and become part of, not just for the communities it helps to preserve, but for everyone around the world.If you speak an obscure language which might be lost due to lack of people who use it properly, I urge you to contact the Rosetta Stone people.

With Rosetta Stone?® anyone can use this same natural language-learning process to acquire a new language quickly, easily and enjoyably. We developed Dynamic Immersion???, a method that combines advanced interactive technology with native speakers and a rich visual environment, to mimic the complete immersion process we used to learn our first language.
Great deals on Rosetta Stone software
2007-10-26 08:06:00 The Rosetta Stone language learning software has rightfully earned itself an enviable reputation as one of the best language learning methods. Its award-winning products are used by NASA, the US State Department, and thousands of schools.To prove its quality, Rosetta Stone offers a 6-month money back guarantee.Probably the most positive aspect of this software is its ability to inspire confidence to speak in the new language from the beginning. User reviews often mention it. Rosetta Stone uses an immersion method which does not require you to learn grammar rules, or do tedious drills and vocabulary memorization. Instead, it centers on image and word associations, and as you learn more words, you start to build sentences step-by-step.This is how the Rosetta Stone method works. On the screen you get four images, for example, four everyday objects. Each image has a sound file associated to it. You then click on the sound to hear it as many times as you like. Once you’ve learned the ...

Rosetta@home Branches Out
2007-03-05 18:51:00 The Rosetta@home project (which I blogged about in December) has branched out from its original mission of predicting protein structures. David Baker reports in the Rosetta blog that they are working on a way to convert carbon dioxide into simple sugars using enzymes computationally engineered using Rosetta@home. David writes: Graduate student Justin Siegal and postdoc Eric Althoff have come up with a very clever new reaction cycle using new enzymes we would collectively engineer that in total carries out the following reaction: 2C02 + 2e- + H20 -> C2O3H2 + O2 the product is a simple sugar that could be used in a variety of ways, and the removal of C02 from the atmosphere would be great for countering global warming. A nice thing about this compared to current ideas of forming inorganic carbonate compounds is that it requires no other inputs. However, it does require electrons, and hence a source of energy. We are currently assessing the energy requirements of this process and...

2006-12-25 03:37:01 Remnants of 7th StreetBy Rosetta DeBerardinisA few years ago, Seventh Street was a hub for the local Washington, DC art scene, that is until David Adamson moved to 14th Street, and eklektikos gallery moved to Delaware, and then Cheryl Numark relocated around the corner; then Apex and Marinart (and Numark) all closed. Today, this major downtown DC artery, a stone's throw-away from the city's major museums, and an area bristling with commerce and traffic, hosts only two visual art galleries: Zenith and Touchstone.Zenith, one of the oldest galleries in the city, has had somewhat of a face-lift. The once cluttered walls are much hipper now with lots of white space around the works. The large representational oil on linen paintings called ?Altered States? by the young and talented artist, Drew Ernst, fills the space with adventure scenes from in a place like Maine depicting boating and rubber goulashes. The oversized show announcement reads: ?The world has changed drastically in a ve...
