Asked about possible plans to extend the elite Champions League at the expense of the second-tier Europa League, Platini said:
"There is an ongoing debate to determine what form the European competitions will have between 2015 and 2018. We're discussing it, we will make a decision in 2014. Nothing is decided yet."
One of the options being looked at is the possibility of extending the final phase of the Champions League from 32 to 64 teams.
The Europa League generates far lower revenue for clubs than the Champions League and has been criticised since it evolved from the UEFA Cup in 2009.
Meanwhile, the UEFA president said that he was not worried by talk of the creation by Europe's rich clubs of a competition to rival the Champions League.
"It's a question that is regularly brought up," said the former French midfielder.
"It doesn't worry me. I can't see how it could work outside the UEFA framework. Who will referee them? In what stadiums will they play? A lot of people want them? I don't think so."

More About: 9/11 saudi arabia

Being a human is not a crime, being a racist is a crime
As a former Saudi Graduate from the USA , I wonder how prejudice some Americans are ? In Saudi Arabia ,we host lots of Ameicans and we consider them as good friends and we treat them the same way we treat our guests.It's worthnoting that almost three quarters of them work in the oil ndustry.Most of them brought their families and leading peaceful life .Saudis are willing that Americans should treat Saudis in America the same nice way Saudis treat Americans in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Treat them as shit and send them back to New Mexico state steeling and killing. They don't deserve even one piece of respect mother fuckers.
Homaidan Al-Torky still suffering from their fucking justice in Colorado.
Hove you guys forgotten the fucking American cowboy who killed his Bangladeshi wife just out of the city of Riyadh? HE JUST KILLED HER and our government didn't do anything but send hem back to the USA and he's enjoying his fucking life wherever in the US????
do u know what is the biggest crime in the modern history ? of course The atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan which were conducted by the United States during the World War II,and the result: Within the first two to four months of the bombings, the acute effects killed 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 in Nagasaki….i think this is the real terrorism, oh Americans, study your black history
I do not know why always people from the Middle East or Muslims has been associated with terrorism? Terrorism was found before thousands of years and many countries and different religions have done some terrorism and there are many examples even before 9/11. I do not know why media is still focusing on 9/11, although it never have been a link between 9/11 and muslims .Have you ever asked yourself where Taliban located? what is the link between Saudi Arabia and Taliban? The answer is there is nothing in common, in fact Saudi Arabia is completely against Taliban and its fighting terrorism since it founded. If you only opened your eyes and your mind, you will find the facts that you are deceived on it, you are totally Given your brain to the media and they manipulate it as they want, actually you are feeding them by writing this article, you are just supporting them.
Much appreciated Moe, this is the truth but they never have knowledge at all.
How about what happened in Colorado theater? Wasn't it that kinda terrorism? Or just because the killer is from the US, you don't consider him as terrorist?
We should treat them like garbage and ship them back to their cowboy territory and stop provide them with the oil and let them die as dogs.
We are treating them more than they deserve
my fellow Saudi this isn't a way to talk about any group of people and before you say how we should treat them you should first look at how they are treating us here in the U.S, I am a Saudi student and I've lived in Virginia for five years now and I have never seen or heard any American talk about us in a bad way except for the conservative media of course.
now if you think for a second that the Saudi people and the Saudi government would do something as stupid as to shut down oil production then you are crazy because it is our only source of revenue and we could not live without it.
my fellow Saudi if what you read here in this article was hurtful in anyway then what you said is much worse and as a Saudi I couldn't keep my mouth shut after reading your racist and prejudice comment.
everyone please keep in mind that the writer's only goal in this article is to bash the DNC (Democratic National Committee) and he only talked about us so that he could associate The DNC and the Obama campaign with the increase of Saudi student in the U.S
Ok, why don't you fucking kick them out of your fucking country and be safe!! Do you fucking believe that you miserable country is the most dangerous country all over the world? Do you have an idea how idiots you are? Do you have an idea about the crime rate in NY city? We were there to get fucking education from your racist universities and went back home, we aren't interested in your fake country.
O idiots, you know shit about what's going on in your country, don't you know that the fucking Al-Qaedah wes made by your shit government? We've been attacked by the terrorists who have been supported by the coward CIA agents and we lost many good and real men just because your stupidity.
THUS, shut the fuck up and repair you damned country and close the doors mother fuckers. We don't tolerate your stupidity any more.
Do you really think that with this language you could convince anyone that his article is biased and wrong???
sir this is the conservative daily new if you want to read something that could never talk bad about you then go read the Saudi press agency
and please keep in mind that this is an election year and Mr. Beatty would say whatever he can to get his candidate elected its just politics.
US want to say that all the Muslims are Terrorists and the wars on Iraq and Afghanistan were for democracy, and we see that us deceive its citizens, US supports Israel and even the childrens kill them on palestine, any democrasy this?!!!!
It is this type of fear-mongering and indiscriminate stereotyping that leads to hate and hate crimes. These 65,000 students are not the problem. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but if Saudi students were behind 9/11 then why didn't the US go to war with Saudi? Food for thought.
For some time before the horror of 9/11 I wondered "How" those overstaying their student visas were only deported IF arrested for a crime. Also "why" they were allowd to stay past the expiration date in the first place. And then 9/11 I was sure steps would be taken to track them For crying out loud!! Does the Taliban or Al Quida have to blow up the entire country to get these 'employees' in Washington to get off their lounges & do something. How about if we close the door & turn off the light & concentrate on the safety of AMERICANS for a change. Political correctness needs to be slung into a vast trash can ! NOW!…I hope all will be as diligent with thier Senate & hous candidates as the oval office.
No comments yet. I wonder how many of those Saudi Arabian student visitors here in the USA are women. Does anyone have that statistic? If you know, I would be most interested. Now while we are on the subject of female Saudi Arabian students here, I do know of one, her name is Huma, and she is a really close associate of our current Secretary of State. Remember, OBEY
Huma is not Saudi
Americans and Saudis are two asses in one pans, it is a strong relationship, americans needs saudi oil, saudis needs america protection. If saudi got attacked by other country such as iran, america you be there for saudi arabia. Plus saudi arabia is supporting america's economy by sending student to the US. Bottom line is, saudis gonna keep coming to the US, and the US gonna keep welcoming saudis, whether you like it or not.

Comeback kid: Upper St. Clair recruit commits to PittJuly 26, 2013 8:00 PM
Rori Blair's comeback story will continue this football season at Upper St. Clair High School -- and next year at Pitt.
Blair, a senior, made a verbal commitment to Pitt Friday after he and his family met with coach Paul Chryst.
Blair is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound tight end/defensive end who nearly died of complications from a stroke a year ago.
Now he is fully healthy and has a Division I scholarship to his hometown school. West Virginia and Kent State also offered Blair a scholarship.
"Pitt did a great job recruiting him," said Upper St. Clair coach Jim Render. "They've checked on his medical records, watched him at their camp this summer and didn't hesitate to recruit him."
Pitt offered Blair a scholarship a few months ago. In April 2012, Blair suffered a stroke. A few days later, he had to be resuscitated with paddles and chest compressions at a hospital after he flatlined from stroke complications. Blair had trouble talking and walking after the stroke, lost 50 pounds, spent a month in a hospital and another month in a rehabilitation center.
Blair showed plenty of promise as a junior in the 2011 football season, but the stroke forced him to miss his senior season. He gained back his weight and this spring, doctors cleared him to play again, saying there was no danger for him to return to the field.
Upper St. Clair then appealed to the WPIAL for another year of eligibility for Blair. Under WPIAL and PIAA rules, a student-athlete can be granted extra eligibility because of illness or injury as long as the student-athlete is still age-eligible, missed more than 45 days of school in a semester or 60 in a year because of the injury and didn't participate in more than 25 percent of regular-season contests in a sport.
Blair fit the criteria, and the WPIAL granted him an extra year.
Pitt, West Virginia and Kent State then offered scholarships based on Blair's junior season.
"I expect him to have a great year this season," Render said. "It was an unfortunate situation what happened to him. I think it made everyone grow up a little. I learned a lot and I think he has learned a lot."
Blair was recruited as a defensive end.
"He has got size, arm leverage and length that colleges like to see," Render said.
"He's got some things we can't teach as coaches. Now we just want to put him in situations where he can excel."breaking - pittsports - hsfootball

Job Description for Senior Technical Writer
Senior technical writers create detailed articles for magazines or online journals and publications in specialized fields, and may also write and edit technical operators' manuals and even certification tests. The senior-level designation normally implies that they handle the most important technical writing within a company, and they may also assign and edit the work of junior-level technical writers and review their submissions for accuracy.Read More...
Knowledge of subject matter is what separates a technical writer from standard journalists, and senior technical writers typically specialize in fields of expertise such as computer hardware, software, engineering, or other industrial or professional fields. Many also have extensive professional and educational backgrounds within these fields. In many cases, their writing is aimed at a knowledgeable audience with experience in the subject matter, so they must be fluent in the jargon and terminology of that particular field.
When senior technical writers develop operating manuals and certification tests, they typically enlist other individuals to test the clarity of instructions and provide feedback on the material as presented. Most technical writers also use a strenuous revision process through multiple iterations of their work, whether it is for professional journals, public online publishing, or technical operating guides. Senior technical writers may also lead a team of writers on larger projects, issue assignments, and edit and review submissions.
A senior technical writer typically needs a broad and varied educational background, and expertise within a given subject matter may require a degree or certification in that field. In addition to practical experience, a demonstrated ability to write for publications is also required, and many senior technical writers have either dual majors, including journalism or writing degrees, or master's level education. Senior technical writers typically work for journals and publications, but are also employed by software companies, medical equipment specialists, and in any field that requires extensive, detailed, and complex user documentation.
Senior Technical Writer Tasks
- Organize, review, and write materials for clarity and message.
- Standardize documentation for layout, style, and language, and create templates and scripts to automate as possible.
- Work with project teams to create documentation for diverse groups.
- Track revisions and edits, and maintain files.
- Review and improve formatting and visual components, and select drawings and specifications.
Common Career Paths for Senior Technical Writer
Add this chart to your site: 640px 300px
Senior Technical Writers who transition into an upper level Technical Publications Manager position will not necessarily make much more than they do in their current role. The average Technical Publications Manager makes $77K a year. Senior Technical Writers most frequently advance into Documentation Manager and Technical Editor roles even though the median salaries are $11K lower and $27K lower, respectively.

Popular Skills for Senior Technical Writer
Survey results imply that Senior Technical Writers deploy a deep pool of skills on the job. Most notably, skills in XML, HTML, Adobe FrameMaker, and Microsoft Visio are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, and Adobe Acrobat. It is not unusual for someone who knows Editing to be familiar with Writing Procedures & Documentation as well.
Pay by Experience Level for Senior Technical Writer
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Senior Technical Writers, more experience in the field does not usually mean bigger paychecks. Relatively untried employees who have less than five years' experience make $66K, but folks with five to 10 years under their belts enjoy an appreciably larger median of $76K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $84K. Respondents who claim more than 20 years of experience may encounter pay that doesn't quite reflect their extensive experience; these veterans report a median income of around $88K.
Pay Difference by Location
With a pay rate for Senior Technical Writers that is 43 percent greater than the national average, San Francisco offers a comfortable salary for those in this profession. Senior Technical Writers will also find cushy salaries in San Jose (+42 percent), Seattle (+27 percent), Boston (+21 percent), and Redwood City (+20 percent). In Houston, salaries are 12 percent below the national average and represent the lowest-paying market. Workers in Austin and Minneapolis earn less than others in this profession; their salaries fall short of the national average by 7 percent.

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
1A person or thing that represents the opposite of someone or something else.'the antitype of female virtue'
- 'Within this clearly defined conjunction of market types, the old fishwife has a role to play that is fully legitimate: she is the social antitype to her customers, but also their economic partner in exchange.'
- 'But Prynne's work is not prose but poetry, its antitype.'
- 'The eighties, as arbitrary ten-year wedges of time go, was the antitype of the sixties, its silver-and-black negative - which means of course that the eighties has the potential to be as controversial and symbolic as the sixties became.'
- 'He goes beyond masculinity in the only fatherhood worthy of the name, and is at the same time, in this eternal virginity, the antitype of all motherhood.'
- 'Finally, we see him holy in his death, as the antitype of the sin offerings of old.'
2Something that is represented by a symbol.
- 'Protestant divines had tended to restrict typology to figures, actions, and objects in the Old Testament which in their view shadowed forth Christ as their antitype.'
- 'Needless to say, the Old Testament teems with such types and pictures which (as we saw last month) were specifically given to provide insight, instruction and illumination in relation to their new-covenant antitypes.'
- 'The Old Testament type did not merely stand for the New Testament antitype: both were equally real events in the flow of history.'
- 'The first is an antitype of the Resurrection and, unlike the more formal Old Testament antitypes, offers direct evidence of Christ's ability to save those close to him.'
- 'There is also an antitype which now saves us-baptism (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God), though the resurrection of Jesus Christ,'
- 'New Testament worship is not typological; the antitype has come.'
- 'It would at the same time make the reason for the First Testament choices even more mystifying since the type corresponding to the antitype often resides in a few phrases as demonstrated above.'
Early 17th century: from late Latin antitypus, from Greek antitupos 'corresponding as an impression to the die', from anti 'against, opposite' + tupos 'type, a stamp'.

How Many Guns Are There and Who Owns Them? - Ownership By Private Citizens
million firearms united atf
There Can Only Be Estimates
There is no way of knowing the actual number of privately owned guns in the United States. Each state has its own system of counting and classifying guns. Some states do not require registration of guns, and unregistered guns cannot be included in an official count. The result is that there can only be estimates of the total number of guns that American citizens possess.
The ATF Estimates
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is a law enforcement organization in charge of reducing violent crime, among other tasks. One of its duties is to try to keep legally acquired firearms out of the hands of criminals. The ATF is also responsible for estimating the total number of firearms in the United States. It does this by adding domestic firearms production and imports since 1899, then subtracting firearms exports during the same period. In its report Commerce in Firearms in the United States (February 2000), the ATF estimated that about 4.5 million firearms, including approximately two million handguns and about two million second-hand firearms, are sold in the United States each year. The ATF does not take into account guns that are destroyed or that no longer work. The ATF statistics also do not account for guns smuggled into or out of the United States or guns manufactured illegally. As these variables suggest, no one really knows the number of firearms in the United States.
According to the ATF report Firearms Commerce in the United States—2001/2002, during the one-hundred year period from 1899 through 1999, an estimated 248 million guns became available for sale in the United States (not including those produced for the military). This number included more than 87 million rifles, 86 million handguns, and 72 million shotguns. According to estimates from the ATF, there were 1.5 million guns produced in the United States in 1950, 3.7 million in 1970, 5.6 million in 1980, 3.8 million in 1990, and 4 million in 1999. The ATF data suggest that the number of imported rifles, shotguns, and handguns combined averaged one million per year in the 1990s, with handguns accounting for roughly half of that figure. Exports averaged fewer than 400,000 per year. Putting all estimates together, by the end of 1999, the total number of guns privately owned or available for sale in the United States came to more than 260 million, nearly enough for every man, woman, and child in the country to own one.

as your strong hands are wrapped around my waist
and me laying in your sweet embrace
your hands lift my arms and lift them around your neck
and you kiss me with your sweet soft lips on my forehead
then your lips touch mine with a subtle soft feeling and
a chill went down my spine when i could feel your heart
beating so close next to mine
i could feel your hands slide down my back and
i was in utter lust in your love
i took down my hair and laid my forehead against yours
as my long black hair surrounded around us and
it felt like heaven looking into your beautiful brown eyes
with my hands set upon your strong sculpted chest
i touched his face with my hands and gave him a quick kiss
and then i leaned up and whispered into his ear
"i love you and i will be yours forever"
and he smiled at me and said "you will always be mine"
and i smiled with a glow that could of lighted up the whole room
and he slid his hands back up my spine and placed them against
my face and kissed me and i could feel him smiling the whole time

Children's fiction contains a whole herd of elephants who, through trials and tribulations, have learned something about themselves. As such, these young pachyderms' journeys can teach a lesson or two to children and adults alike.
The Story: Quite possibly the most famous fictional elephant, Dumbo is a lovable circus elephant who is bullied by the other elephants for the size of his ears. A clumsy mistake pushes him into the role of a clown in the circus, but, despite his natural talent, it makes for a miserable existence. One night, he accidentally gets drunk and wakes up at the top of a tree, and Timothy, his mouse companion, convinces him that he flew up there using his giant ears - and a magic feather. One day, however, Dumbo has to fly - but he's lost the magic feather! His friends then reveal that he didn't need the feather to fly all along.
What we learned: The obvious message here is one of self-confidence: Dumbo could always fly, he just needed to believe in himself. However, the more sinister message was hidden away in the, frankly terrifying, two-minute nightmare sequence that was supposed to show the evils of drinking. Dumbo gets a bit tipsy after champagne is tipped into his water, and what follows is so darkly disturbing that it's bound to make any child swear off the liquor for good. His hallucinations include a harrowing kaleidoscope of worm-like elephants that morph into each other to a soundtrack of chilling chants. If it bore any similarity at all to the effects of drinking it could have been the most powerful argument for sobriety ever seen in animation. As it stands, you're just left wondering who slipped acid into Walt Disney's drinks.
The Message: Believe in yourself - but not in Walt Disney's oddly misinformed approach to alcohol.
The Story: Poor Babar is orphaned when his mother is shot by a hunter and runs away from the jungle to look for a safe home. An old lady befriends him and hires him a tutor, as well as buying him some smart new clothes. Eventually, he is found by his cousins who return him to the Elephant realm. When the King of the Elephants dies from eating a poisonous mushroom, the council choose Babar to be the next monarch of the realm. He rules over his citizens and marries his second cousin.
What we learned: Babar's mother is shot by a hunter in a heartbreaking scene, but Babar does not let this hold him back. He strides ever-forward in his attempt to improve himself, and ultimately becomes a King. It taught us not to be deterred by setbacks in life. More recently, the civilising influence has been read as an allegory of colonialist rule. Babar is taught to be cultured by people, and then returns to the jungle where he rules over the other elephants. It's an uncomfortable realisation that has seen the book banned by many libraries.
The Message: You can overcome your struggles, but history won't take to you kindly if your end goal is benevolent dictatorship.
Elmer the Patchwork Elephant
The Story: Elmer has been a loved character for millions of children around the world. He's a cheerful and friendly elephant with a colourful patchwork hide. Elmer feels like the odd one out though, so he tries to cover up his distinctive coat with grey paint. However, his friends no longer recognise him, so he feels like even more of an outsider. It's only when it rains and Elmer's disguise is washed away. His friends recognise him again, and are delighted - they much prefer his multi-coloured coat and fun personality, and they paint themselves in patchwork to show how much they love him.
What we learned: It's a celebration of diversity that stands the test of time. You can apply the message to any perceived differences between people and it holds true. Elmer is a truly remarkable elephant.
The message: There's no sting in the tale here, embrace your differences!

For nine years now, the Connecticut chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness has sponsored a walk to fight the stigma that many still attach to mental illness.
By coming out en masse, we showed the world that we and our family members are indistinguishable from the rest of the human race. Also, we have walked to raise funds to support those who are living with a mental illness.
This is year 10, and, sadly, in the wake of the tragedy of Sandy Hook Elementary School, the stigma we've been fighting all these years has a new hold on the nation. Indeed, much of my work consists of helping people who have a mental illness, and I am already encountering cases in which persons have been turned down for jobs because of their mental health history.
Never has it been more important for those of us living with a mental illness to confront the stigma head-on.
Truth be told, persons with a mental illness commit only about 4 percent of the violent crimes. Indeed, they are more likely to be the victims of violent crime than the rest of the population.
And yet, the National Rifle Association would have us focus our energies not on the guns that enable men to wreak mayhem but on those with a mental illness.
In the words of NRA head Wayne LaPierre, "We have no national database of these lunatics."
Most murders and mass murders are committed by angry men with a grudge to settle. So a "national database" of persons who have ever had a history of mental illness would do virtually nothing to reduce the number of horrific crimes committed with semi-automatic weapons.
Not only that, but creating such a database would in effect be giving the law's imprimatur to the stigma. We would be institutionalizing discrimination against those of us who ever sought medical care for a mental illness, and in so doing, we would be discouraging people from seeking the help they need.
The simple fact is this: Mental illness is not a predictor of violent behavior. A history of violent behavior may be a predictor, but, as we've seen in the case of Adam Lanza, there was no such public history, only his private predilection for the virtual violence of video games.
So now, more than ever, is the time for us to walk the NAMI walk.
Join us on Saturday, May 18, in Hartford's Bushnell Park. Your participation will go a long way to helping NAMI/Connecticut provide the free support groups and educational programs we deliver to more than 8,000 people each year.

"The world-renowned Horizontal Falls has been described as one of the greatest wonders of the natural world and the Liberal National Government is committed to ensuring this precious environment is protected into the future," Mr Jacob said.
"The area is rich with unique plants, animals and marine species found nowhere else and contains nationally significant natural, Aboriginal and historical values."
The Minister said the proposed parks were being delivered as a part of the Government's Kimberley Science and Conservation Strategy, which was creating one of the world's largest networks of connected marine and terrestrial reserves.
"The creation of the new marine parks, together with the Lalang-garram/Camden Sound Marine Park and the proposed North Kimberley Marine Park, will establish the Great Kimberley Marine Park that protects about three million hectares and about 8,000 kilometres of coast line from Talbot Bay to the Northern Territory border," he said.
"The proposed parks contain spectacular gorges and waterfalls, islands with fringing coral reefs and mangrove-lined creeks and bays that are home to an amazing variety of marine species including dugongs, whales, sawfish and turtles. The plan also creates tourism and employment opportunities for traditional owners."
The plan is available at https://www.dpaw.wa.gov.au/horizontalfalls and is open for public comment until January 22, 2016.
Fact File
- Horizontal Falls, in Talbot Bay, is about 300km north-east of Broome
- The proposed Lalang–garram/Horizontal Falls Marine Park covers about 353,000ha and the proposed North Lalang-garram Marine Park covers 110,000ha - totalling together 463,000ha
- The proposed parks are highly significant to Dambimangari people and include significant cultural values

8MAN to be showcased at RSA for the third consecutive year
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) 8MAN from protected-networks, the complete solution for access rights control and user provisioning, will be on show in San Francisco at the RSA Conference 2014. The solution helps businesses limit access rights to a "need to know" basis, thereby significantly mitigating data security risks.
Protected-networks.com, provider of exclusive access rights management software, will be demonstrating its flagship solution 8MAN at 2014 RSA Conference to be held in San Francisco from 24th to 28th of January. Key differentiator of 8MAN is its uniquely simple and intuitive graphical interface that provides for transparent and controlled access to business critical data.
Since its first appearance at the RSA Conference in 2012, 8MAN has witnessed several significant upgrades in view of changing threat landscape and strict compliance requirements. With its superior graphical elements, 8MAN allows organizations using fileservers, Active Directory, exchange and SharePoint to easily view, provision and delegate access rights. This in turn allows organizations to trust not only the integrity, security and confidentiality of their business information but also the people who access that information. Last year the company also launched 8MAN for vSphere, extending similar features and benefits for data stored on virtual environment namely, VMware's vSphere. Direct benefit of 8MAN can be witnessed in accelerating compliance and audit procedures as well as strengthening the overall data security.
8MAN enables organisations to easily and transparently answer the following questions: - Which users have access to what data? - Who can access a given directory or SharePoint web application? - Who made which changes to user permissions? - Who touched which data and what did they do with it (delete, modify, copy, move, etc.)? - How can I improve the quality of access rights decisions by involving business users and delegating responsibility? Besides this, some of the salient features of 8MAN most valued by the clients are: - Deployment in under an hour and requires very little training - Intuitive and easily understandable - Non-intrusive and shows immediate security and business benefits - Simplest yet effective access rights solution At the show delegates can gain a first-hand experience of how the solution works and adds value to their security framework. (Booth: 2215) About protected-networks: Founded in 2009, protected-networks GmbH is global company, headquartered in Berlin, that develops integrated solutions for access rights management of physical and virtual server environments across all business sectors and at public authorities. The solution, 8MAN is based on an innovative approach to integrated data security management and offers uniform and automated management of user rights. Clients thereby save cost and time while increasing protection against unauthorised internal access.

"Often when you're in the process of realizing an image, it's going somewhere else. If that tangent starts going off in a place that feels more exciting, that's what I go with."
"When I started making the Hummels, I would talk about it as taking a mass-produced object and making a one-off of it—taking low art (mass-produced sculpture) and pushing it back into high art. But what's also going on with the Hummels is the nature of the sculpture itself—that they're sculptures of children."
-Paul McCarthy

Winston Churchill led an extraordinary life. In her newest book, award-winning author Candice Millard writes about Churchill's time in South Africa and in prison, as well as his subsequent escape. As a young man, Churchill decided he wanted to "be where the action is" so he'd be recognized for his courage and patriotism. Using every opportunity to become well-known, he worked to advance his career when England fought the Dutch in Africa, in what became known as the Boer War, by "pulling some strings" to be assigned as a reporter on the Boer War. While aboard a train surrounded by the Boers, he was recognized and deemed an enemy soldier. From the moment of his capture and imprisonment, Churchill vowed to escape. This harrowing story is excellent and one of those rare non-fiction books that reads like an adventure novel.

by Paulette Jiles
Jefferson Kyle Kidd, or the Captain, as he is referred to through much of the book, is in his early 70s and makes his living travelling through northern Texas reading newspapers to information-starved and curious audiences.
Johannah Leonberger was kidnapped by Kiowa Indians when she was six. Freed at the age of ten she has little memory of time before her capture and yearns to be returned to the Kiowas. Through a chance meeting with an old acquaintance, the Captain takes on the responsibility of transporting Johannah the 400 miles back to what is left of her family.
As they travel across the dangerous landscape of 1870's Texas, the Captain and Johannah slowly form an uneasy alliance that grows into a bond of trust and affection. When, after weeks of hard and dangerous travel, they arrive at their destination, the Captain finds that Johanna's Aunt and Uncle choose to regard her as an unwanted burden. Suddenly, the Captain finds himself face to face with a moral dilemma for which he feels ill-prepared.
IQ by Joe Ide
Isaiah "IQ" Quintabe is a high school dropout in East Long Beach, one of LA's roughest neighborhoods; he's also a brilliant investigator driven to apply his talents to cases the police won't touch. His grateful clients are more likely to pay him in casseroles than cash, so when a childhood frenemy contacts IQ about a paranoid rapper offering $50,000 to find out who wants him dead, IQ reluctantly takes the case. His investigation leads him to a devious diva, a megalomaniac manager, a pair of braindead bodyguards, and a hired killer whose dog could send Cujo running.
Filled with colorful characters and a switchback plot, IQ is a page-turning mystery that will leave you eagerly awaiting the sequel (to be released in fall 2017).

The year is 2022, and gamers have lined up on launch day for Sword Art Online, a hotly-anticipated MMORPG that lets players connect to an immersive virtual reality world with special helmets called Nerve Gear. Kirito is one such gamer who's eager to jump back into action, having spent a great deal of time as a beta...
7 people think you'll like this
While both being situated in an RPG (RPG-like at least in Tower of Druaga) based story, the enjoyment I felt in both series are almost the same. It is just that former is more comedy inclined while the latter is more into the story/theme.
'Sword Art Online' reminds me of the older series 'Tower of Druaga' in that they both have plots that involve towers and are based on video games.
Although 'Tower of Druaga' is based on an 80's series of arcade games and 'Sword Art Online' on a near-future VR MMO, they both have great settings and a sense of peril and comradery as the characters attempt to ascend the towers and to defeat the highest level.
If you have not seen one or the other I would recommend both.
SAO and TOD are similar in a few things. They both are based on videogames (SAO futuristic videogame, TOD is actually an 80s videogame), they both have swordplay and magic, they both have epic battles and they're both good anime.
They have romance in between battles and I really liked both. Your emotions will have a party in your head.
I do think that TOD's first episode is by far one of the funniest and SAO first episode makes you wanna keep watching it. I recommend both. If you like one, you'll like the other.
In a massive online world, people act only as well as their conscience demands. When one player's punishment is to be trapped in this world, a disparate group of people seek the answers why. Their motives are varied; their methods even more so. What stands between when we tear down the walls of reality? Where does our soul end and we begin?

I have chosen .hack//SIGN from the series, since its the first one.
The similarities are obvious, both worlds are somewhat MMORPG-like, in fact "The World" in .hack really is an MMO, which is not necessarily true about Druaga no Tou.
Whether its true or false, fact remains fact, someone who enjoyed that particular (and perhaps nostalgic) atmosphere in .hack, will probably like the atmosphere of Druaga no Tou as well.
It is still unsure how will Druaga no Tou carry on, but whether it takes a philosophical turn or not, any .hack fan will be able to enjoy it.
Similar feels to them, both take place in fantasy game worlds, and thus implement the typical class systems found in these games. I definitely think people who like one would like the other, most likely.

The Telegraph has got a hold on an exclusive U.K. teaser trailer of "Coco Avant Chanel" and has shared it for viewing pleasure. Opened to a quote from Coco Chanel herself which is read, "Fashion passes, style remains", the less than two minutes video highlights on the journey of this celebrated French fashion designer from her humble beginnings to the heights of society.
Exposing Coco's early life as the young Gabrielle Chanel, the trailer displays her working with a sewing machine before showing that her singing ambitions lead her to a cabaret club where she catches the eye of several high society gentlemen. It then cuts to the scenes of high society's life which she takes part of and gives out how she differentiates herself from any other women in her time.
From director Anne Fontaine, "Coco Before Chanel" stars "The Da Vinci Code" beauty Audrey Tautou as the title character. Benoit Poelvoorde, Alessandro Nivola, Marie Gillain and Emmanuelle Devos are also in the cast ensemble. This drama biopic which is also known by the name of "Coco avant Chanel" will be getting a limited release in the U.S. on September 25.

I found a small, cute, very tame rabbit in my front yard and have brought it indoors. I put up posters in my neighborhood, and no one has claimed it. I cannot keep it because I have cats. It is tan/orange with a white tail, furry mane, and black eyes. The rabbit looks very healthy and has been eating well. It loves lettuce, carrots, celery, cherry tomatoes, and any rabbit food from Petsmart! It is affectionate and playful. I named it Honey Bunny, and it needs a loving home!

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Rabbit in Arizona
Rabbits can make good pets in Arizona if they match your IifestyIe. Rabbits are adorable, soft animals that make popular pets for children. While a rabbit can make a good pet for a child, keep in mind that to be healthy a rabbit requires a quiet, calm living environment. Please only adopt a rabbit if you feel you can create a safe and quiet space for the rabbit in your home. Rabbits can be housetrained to live inside, out of a cage, which dramatically increases their life spans. Rabbits can live as long as a dog or a cat, and unfortunately some people do not approach the decision to get a rabbit with the same seriousness or commitment they might have about getting a dog. Meanwhile, breeders may separate young rabbits from their mothers too early, which damages their immune systems, and pet stores might provide very little information about proper care and nutrition. As a result, countless rabbits die within weeks of being bought. Others are never spayed or neutered, resulting in unanticipated family additions and a major overpopulation problem. Sadly, the majority of these sweet pets are eventually euthanized. Rescue shelters that accept rabbits are often overflowing. If you are planning to bring home a pet rabbit, please adopt!

I am a sucker for McAlister's, their menu seems so healthy and all the choices are so appetizing. But I started a diet where I count my grams of fat and dining at McAlister's is very difficult now. Even their salad dressings are chock full of fat (understandable - who's isn't) but a quick glance of their nutrition online makes it hard to find meals there that will satisfy my McAlister's cravings while staying within my "diet" Kinda upsetting because I view McAlister's as a healthier lunch option when I decide to dine out. Here's to hoping they can continue this health trend!

NEWARK, N.J. -- Never let it be said that the Penguins didn't give Jeff Taffe a chance earlier this season to prove he deserved to stick in the NHL, because they did.
Yes, a chance. One.
Taffe logged five minutes, 57 seconds of ice time in their season-opening victory against Ottawa in Stockholm Oct. 4, was a healthy scratch for another game against the Senators the following day and then was assigned to the Penguins' minor league team in Wilkes-Barre shortly after the club returned to North America.
Which means Taffe finished October with barely more NHL shifts (11) than trans-Atlantic flights.
Taffe stayed with the Baby Penguins until Tuesday, when he and fellow forward Tim Wallace were summoned for the Penguins' game against New Jersey at the Prudential Center last night.
And while he certainly would have preferred to be working in the NHL, Taffe did not let the demotion sour his season. He teamed with Chris Minard and Janne Pesonen on one of the most productive lines in the American Hockey League and had piled up 14 goals and 15 assists in 24 games at the time of his recall.
"[Demotions are] part of the game," he said yesterday. "There's not much I can do about it except to play hard [in the minors]. It's always tough, but you have to go down there with the right approach."
Wallace, meanwhile, was hoping his parents would be successful in their effort to travel from their hometown of Anchorage, Alaska, to New Jersey so they could witness his NHL debut.
Wallace volunteered after the game-day skate that preparing for his first game at this level had been "pretty nerve-wracking," but he obviously didn't mind.
"It's a neat experience," Wallace said. "I'm having a great time."
Five of the Penguins' six defensemen last night were born in the United States.
They are Rob Scuderi (Bethpage, N.Y.), Brooks Orpik (San Francisco), Mark Eaton (Wilmington, Del.), Alex Goligoski (Grand Rapids, Minn.) and Ben Lovejoy (Canaan, N.H.). The lone exception was Kris Letang, who hails from Montreal.
How long that group will remain intact isn't clear, because Ryan Whitney (Scituate, Mass., foot surgery) and Philippe Boucher (St. Apollinaire, Quebec, apparent concussion-type injury) figure to be back in the lineup relatively soon. Whitney said he hopes to return in 7 to 14 days, and Boucher might be back sooner.
The Devils also have a healthy contingent of U.S.-born players. Ten members of their 22-man active roster -- and nine who were in uniform last night -- are U.S. natives.
New York Islanders center Doug Weight, whose team will visit Mellon Arena at 7:38 tonight, needs five points to become the 73rd player in NHL history to get 1,000.
Weight is 37 and not quite the force he was earlier in his career, but still leads New York in points (26) and assists (20) and has been a stabilizing influence for a franchise trying to right itself under difficult circumstances. He broke into the league with the New York Rangers in the 1991 playoffs and, acknowledged, "I'd probably be lying if I said I thought I'd play this long."
Penguins centers Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have surged to the top of the Eastern Conference all-star voting. By late yesterday afternoon, Crosby was the top vote-getter in the league with 652,610, followed in balloting for Eastern forwards by Malkin (580,655) and Montreal's Alex Kovalev (566,348). ... Penguins right winger Eric Godard was a healthy scratch for the first time this season.

Apple employees testing wheelchair features
