I am an assistant professor (מרצה בכירה) at the Computer Science Department, at the Technion. I work on methods to improve performance and reliability of storage in large scale data centers, focusing on complex hierarchies and enhanced storage interfaces. Topics of interest include caching, content distribution, optimizations for flash based storage, erasure coding, deduplication, workload characterization, and improved analysis tools.
Research Projects
- SSDPlayer: an open source graphical tool for visualizing data layout and movement on flash devices. It is designed to give a better understanding of how data gets from one place to another and why.
- Reusable SSD: write-once memory (WOM) codes can be used to program flash pages several times before they are erased. This project deals with the practical limitations of applying such codes to MLC flash in real SSDs.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Shortbread Squares
The milk-chocolate topping of these cookies looks like the result of masterful piping, but it's actually a cinch to make using a mold. Beneath the chocolate hides a layer of peanut butter on top of brown-sugar shortbread, all of them adding up to a treat that's creamy and crumbly and rich throughout.Source: Martha Stewart Living, November 2008
Cook's Notes
You will need a basket-weave mat (we used an 8"-by-16" rubber texture mat in basket weave (PA 01-6), $12, from chineseclayart.com) to imprint the chocolate with the woven motif. To make the squares without a mat, spread the melted chocolate atop the peanut butter layer, and refrigerate until firm, about an hour.

jhkang35621 JAN, 2013Where can I find a mat that is food safe for the chocolate? I looked on the chinese clay art website and couldn't find either the rubber or plastic mat. looks like this recipe has been up for a couple of years. I only just saw it on Martha's facebook page today. I love the pattern, so I'd like to find a mat rather than just spread the chocolate over the peanut butter. Any links to mats or store suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks :)Reply
geomaxfl792960529 JAN, 2017Haven't made the recipe yet, but found the basket weave on site mentioned in NOTE. They have upped the price another $2. It is now $14, not $12
AllThingsART9 OCT, 2014The basket weave mat is on the Chinese Clayart website under link: Food Decoration. The Basket weave mat is the last one in the "Texture Mats, Plastic" list.
Liz Tsuji15 MAR, 2013Here is a chocolate mold with basket weave: http://www.flavortools.com/8h-4895.html smaller than the clay one suggested but I think it could be pieced together.Reply
jhkang35621 JAN, 2013http://www.theceramicshop.com/store/product/1079/Texture-Mat,-Basket-Weave/ I found this (if anyone else was looking for the mat mentioned in the article), but it's the rubber mat. It seems like it can only be used for non-food stuff like clay.Reply
jhkang35621 JAN, 2013@sciguy, I haven't made these yet, but maybe you should refrigerate the shortbread and peanut butter before putting the chocolate layer on top? That will probably help firm up the peanut butter. also what kind of peanut butter are you using? natural or just regular peanut butter? natural peanut butter is usually more liquidy. Hopefully this helps.Reply
sciguy10 DEC, 2011The chocolate worked well, but the peanut butter oozed out when I cut it. Anyone have a solution?Should I chill it before I cut it?Thought that would make the chocolate brittle.Reply
elliebelliebabydoll26 SEP, 2011Kimlin loook left I also had trouble until I looked in a different placeReply
DesignMan26 SEP, 2011These sounds really good and I like the basketweave design on top. I will be ordering one of those molds right now. Can't wait to try these but I am going to use dark chocolate. I will post a new review as soon as I have prepared these.Reply
VeganD26 SEP, 2011Why can't I find a "add to my collections" button? Did it move? Did they take this feature away?Reply
Paradoxcake16 JAN, 2011To Yllota: While it says it would be good up to 3 days I believe that would be for prime results. I have had cookies stay in an airtight container for well over that length of time with no spoilage or loss of quality. Certainly freezing the peanut butter would cause it to separate but I think if you made half a recipe and put 2/3 of it in the fridge, wrapped in plastic wrap, then a layer of foil and then placed in an airtight container you would have great results. (The foil blocks smells)Reply
Yllota3 JUL, 2010Do you think I could freeze it? Because I live by myself and would like to make this to use as a quick grab and go snack, but if it only keeps for 3 days then its not a good idea because even if I only baked half of the recipe it would still be way too much for just one person... It obviously can't be thawed in the microwave because of the chocolate layer, but if I thaw it overnight do you think it will be fine of the fat in the peanut butter would likely separate or something? Tks in advanceReply

CLEVELAND: In Cleveland, more than 100 women stripped and posed naked with mirrors, answering a photographer's call to blend art with politics and portray Donald Trump as unfit for the USA's White House.
All the women gathered on the eve of the Republican National Convention, where the Donald Trump will be anointed the nominee of party for president after winning the primary race.
Spencer Tunick who is a photographer told AFP that Donald Trump is a loser after the sunrise shoot in which 130 women took part. 100 of them will be featured in the picture to be unveiled shortly before the November 8 election.
The installation took place on a property which is private not officially in sight of the arena where the convention starts on Monday. The focus of multiple groups of protesters expected to come out on streets this week.
Photographer Tunick said that the owner gave permission but in Cleveland public nudity is illegal. After the permission of the owner, it was not possible for police to intervene.
Title of this photo shoot – "Everything She Says Means Everything,". The photo art featured women of all colors, sizes and shapes participated and they hold up mirrors toward the arena.
The website of Tunick said that the mirrors reflected the knowledge and wisdom of progressive women.
Photographer Tunick told AFP that he thought that this photo shoot was his most political shoot ever.
It is not enough to voting against Trump at the ballot box in November.
He said that I have two daughters and a wife. He also added that I can not believe the language of hate against women and minorities coming from the Republican Party.
He said that he had to do something to counter the language of hate and the idiotic thinking.
MaPo Kinnord is a 55 years old woman and she is an art professor and artist. She said that she took part in the photo shoot because she loved the work of Tunick.
Kinnord explained that to be totally naked and come out in the open and to be fearless is what we need to be.
Donald Trump who is a candidate for the President of USA, has called for a ban on Muslims entering the United States and he also said that a wall to be built on the Mexican border to keep out illegal immigrants.
Kinnord said she would never vote for Trump.
Morning Robinson who is just 18 years old, took part with her mother in the nude photo shoot. Robinson said that she wanted to do something different before going off to college that would enable her to express herself freely.
In last month in Colombia last month, Photographer Tunick convinced more than 6,000 women to bare all in Bogota becuase the war-torn country neared a peace deal with the leftist rebels of FARC, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (the ABC) is a taxpayer-funded broadcasting organization and is the Australian equivalent of the UK BBC. In addition to news reportage the ABC (TV, radio and On-line) has a key role in Australia's cultural life through involvement in the Arts (especially music and films), public education and public discourse in numerous areas through numerous programs.
Affectionately known to its supporters as "Aunty", the ABC has an important role in a country in which most of the print media are owned by either the Murdoch or Fairfax media empires and Rupert Murdoch's New Limited has 70% of the daily newspaper readership. False, unethical, biased and indeed criminal reportage has led to calls for a boycott of Murdoch media world-wide (see "Boycott Murdoch Media":
https://sites.google.com/site/boycottmurdochmedia/ ).
The ABC has traditionally trodden a path of "balance" between the 2 major political groups in Australia, namely the the Liberal Party-National Party Coalition (Right) and the Australian
Labor Party (ALP) (Left) (collectively known as the Lib-Labs). However a
huge shift to the Right by Labor has meant that the ABC now typically
positions itself between the Right and the Extreme Right.
The ALP has become dominated by neoconservative, pro-American
and pro-Zionist "pushes" to the extent that the party that was once
anti-war, pro-human rights, anti-racist and pro-environment has become
pro-war, human rights abusing, pro-Zionist, racist, pro-coal, pro-gas,
pro-logging, pro-Educational Apartheid, pro-American Imperialism,
anti-environment and anti-science.The ALP has become Another Liberal
Party, an Alternative Liberal Party, an Apartheid Labor Party, an
Apartheid Israel-supporting Party, an American Lackey Party, an
Anti-Environment Labor Party, an Anti-Science Labor Party, an
Anti-Education Labor Party and a spin-driven Australian Lying Party.
ABC has correspondingly lurched to the Right to the detriment of
sensible, informed public discussion in Australia and indeed the very
independence of Australia. More seriously, a Neocon American and Zionist
Imperialist (NAZI)-beholden ABC has now developed an entrenched culture
of censorship, self-censorship, lying by omission, lying by commission,
holocaust ignoring and genocide ignoring.
A window on the grievous deficiencies of the ABC is provided by the ABC itself. When you Google "ABC News" and go the ABC News Homepage (see: http://www.abc.net.au/news/) you will find a "Search ABC" device at the top right hand corner. This enables one to search "the entire ABC site" for what the ABC reports, does not report and no longer reports.
By way of example, since 2001 Australia has been involved with the US Alliance in the Afghan War that as of 2011 had been associated with 4.2 million avoidable deaths from war-imposed deprivation, an estimated 1.4 million violent deaths (based on Iraq war comparisons), 2.9 million under-5 infant deaths (90% avoidable and due to gross US Alliance violation of the Geneva Convention that demands that an Occupier must supply life-sustaining food and medical services to a conquered people) and 3-4 million refugees - an Afghan Holocaust and an Afghan Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention (see "Afghan Holocaust, Afghan Genocide":
https://sites.google.com/site/afghanholocaustafghangenocide/ ). If
one does an ABC Search for the terms "Afghan Holocaust": and "Afghan
Genocide" one finds no reportage by the ABC per se of these atrocities (i.e. as opposed to un-cemsored listener comments) - you
obtain 4 and 7 links respectively (April 2012) but none of these are due
to ABC reportage, all of these relating to comment thread listener
postings by anti-war, humanitarian writer Dr Gideon Polya. In contrast
to zero ABC reportage of this immense atrocity, Google Searches for the
terms "Afghan Holocaust": and "Afghan Genocide" yield (April 2012)
14,000 and 25,000 results, respectively.

Fancy schmancy for deodorant!
I wanted a pretty toiletry bag that was big enough to hold not only my war paint, but a toothbrush, hairbrush, even a bottle of shampoo. I have such a large stash of fabric and supplies that I figured even I, impatient I, could whip up (famous last words) a toiletry bag.
Honestly, the bag itself wasn't difficult, but I decided to kick it up a notch by adding a simple ruffle after the bag was finished. Yeah, easy to sew, NOT! In full disclosure, I wanted the ruffle because I hated the way the zipper looked (there's a reason why I quilt–no zippers).
I used a toile medium-weight tapestry fabric. After determining the size of bag I wanted, I cut out two identical pieces of fabric twice the length of the bag I wanted (I'll explain why in a minute) and with right sides facing each other, sewed the two long sides and one short side together so the inside lining would match the outside. I turned the fabric inside out and folded it in half. The reason I did this was so that there would be no seams on the inside of the bag. Clever, no? On the unfinished short end I added the zipper (12″ zipper).
The ruffle/handle is a 6″ wide piece of coordinating fabric which I sewed into a tube, and pressed with the seam in the middle. I stupidly added the ruffle after the zipper. It worked; it was just hard sewing with the zipper and so many layers of fabric in place. I added two vintage buttons on the top and both sides of the ruffle (near the handle-helps with support) and viola! A Ruffled Toiletry Bag! (I really stink at giving directions, don't I? It's the thought that counts.)
Something tells me my ideas/projects will never make it to CraftGossip!

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine. Its purpose is to spotlight eagerly-anticipated upcoming releases.
This week I'm eagerly awaiting:
Janie Face to Face by Caroline B. Cooney
Expected Release Date: January 2013
In this riveting and emotional conclusion to the thriller-romance Janie series, that started with The Face on the Milk Carton, all will be revealed as readers find out if Janie and Reeve's love has endured, and whether or not the person who brought Janie and her family so much emotional pain and suffering is brought to justice.
You knew this was coming, right? There was no way I could feature the Janie books in a post last week, mention the fact that a fifth book was being written, and not feature the fifth book as a WoW post. I'm anxious to get my hands on this one, not only because I just finished the other books and they're fresh in my mind, but also because I'd really like to know how Janie's story really, finally ends.
Recently, I read an interview with Cooney wherein she talked about how much mail she gets from readers asking if Janie and Reeve ever get married. While I can see how this would have been the question weighing most heavily on my 13-year-old mind, now all I want to know is if Janie ever came face-to-face with Hannah. (Spoiler alert: based on the title alone, I'm guessing the answer is YES). Okay, maybe I want to know if she married Reeve. And if she named her kids Denim and Lace, because how terrible/epic would that be?
What are you waiting on this week?

Stephanie's "Harrowing" & "Gut-wrenching" THE MADRES now running at the Skylight!
I was five years old the first time I visited Buenos Aires. That was 1980, during the military Junta that disappeared an estimated 30,000 Argentines. Many years later when I was living and working in Buenos Aires, I went one Thursday to see and walk with The Madres de La Plaza de Mayo. Inspired by these women and the strong women in my own life including my mom, my Argentine stepmom and my grandma, I decided to try to find a way to tell their story. It wasn't until I became a mother myself that I found a way.
I wrote the first draft of THE MADRES in February of 2015. Since then, I've been on a journey with this play and the people who have championed it along the way. One of those people is Arianna Ortiz who is currently starring as CAROLINA at the Skylight Theatre in Los Angeles in the first of four productions that make up the NNPN Rolling World Premiere of THE MADRES. Her work as CAROLINA is heart-wrenching and stunning. As is the entire cast. If you are in L.A., I hope you will come see their beautiful work. Critics have been weighing in and calling The Madres "mesmerizing," "harrowing," and "gut-wrenching."
is a story about the strength and resilience of women. It's about brave women who refused to be silenced. When they chose to speak out, to stand up and march, they were called "crazy/ Las Locas" - as women who speak truth to power often are. No one believed their stories of their missing children. No one believed the government could or would do such a thing. No one wanted to believe them. This didn't stop Las Madres from speaking out, demanding justice and showing up every Thursday to march right in front of the Casa Rosada (Argentina's equivalent of our White House.) Las Madres - the original Women's Marchers- were the first to resist the Argentine dictatorship.
The timing of the world premiere of The Madres is remarkable because it seems people are finally listening to women. I pray that we never stop listening. There is so much we can learn from Las Madres and their brave act of resistance. Let us never forget, let us never be complacent in the face of injustice, let us always be as brave as Las Madres. Ni olvido, ni perdón!
Now through April 29 at the Skylight Theatre in the Los Feliz neighborhood of L.A.

If you're getting divorced, or are divorced, you need to review your estate plan.
At the very least, you will need a new Will.
Did you know that...
If you have an estate plan, it is a good idea to review it. If you do not, it is a good time to research how planning your estate might benefit yourself and your loved ones. In the mean time here is a useful link to the Citizen's Advice Bureau's advice on ending a marriage.

text: Well, there's no denying it now. Christmas is upon us. And I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Unlike Halloween, Christmas just isn't a holiday that screams Ghosts! To me, but lately I've been wondering if that is just me. After all, A Christmas Carol stars the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future. And then there is that song, It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year: There'll be scary ghost stories and tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago. So tell me, do you have any Christmas ghost stories?

PGDM Programme
Also see
The programme offers specialisations in Finance, Information Management, Marketing and Operations. In addition SPJIMR also offers minors. The current list of minors is Analytics, Consulting, Finance, Information Management, Marketing & Operations and Supply Chain.
This programme has been deemed to be equivalent to an MBA by the Association of Indian Universities. This designation is only possible through the accreditations by national regulators. In addition, PGDM is also accredited by international agencies such as UK based Association of MBAs.
PGDM has evolved a unique mix of experiential and traditional learning methods. The programme is designed to:
• Make participants aware of the facts, frameworks and theories of management (knowledge – the "knowing" component)
• Develop the skills, capabilities and techniques that lie at the heart of management (skills – the "doing" component)
• Inculcate values, attitudes and beliefs that go on to build a particular world view (attitudes – the "being" component)
The first year curriculum aims at strengthening fundamentals in all areas of functional management and provides a holistic perspective of general management.
The programme commences with pre-MBA study material of Harvard Business School which is sent to students before they arrive on campus. On arrival, all students go through four weeks of the foundation module to ensure that they have a strong understanding of the basic issues and concepts related to management.
The students also develop managerial traits through various beyond-the-classroom learning initiatives and real-life projects and internships.
The second year provides inputs in the chosen area of specialisation and is customised to the career focus of students and industry requirements.
The students undertake eight-week corporate projects with our industry partners during the second year.
The students are required to undertake a three week international immersion called the Global Fast Track programme in a global top ranked B-School.
In semester III courses (core + electives) for each of the specialisations:
Student-Centered Learning
A Good Mix
The teaching approach/ method is a mix of lectures, classroom discussions, peer learning, case studies, simulations, project work, group studies and participation in national and international events and competitions. Various case studies from the best business schools like Harvard are taken up for discussions in the class. The integration across functional areas leads to a participant becoming proficient in not only his/her specialisation area but also other areas catering to business decision making.
We are specially proud of our leadership in non-classroom learning, which is world class through our Value Based Leadership, internships and informal interactions. The student is enabled to develop attitudes and skills. Also students get hands-on management experience through opportunities to work on live projects and application exercises.
I can proudly say that I have grown so much in this place. When I look back today I see a whole new me. I am prepared to handle the worst and celebrate the best. I am more confident, courageous, grounded and happy. SPJIMR holds a special place in my heart that time can't erase.

Ahh February. Hello darling. It's so nice of you to visit.
I love February. I love that I love February. I didn't always. Now it's just this really good reminder of being alive and living and appreciating life.
I felt really great when I woke up this morning. I felt thinner. I felt like–had I weighed myself–I would have had that whoosh people talk about. I didn't weigh myself tho. I can't give into thoughts like that. They'd haunt me and I'd have to fight them off. It was out of my head almost as quickly as it came in. That's usually the way of thoughts that aren't entertained.
But, so I felt thinner today. And maybe it was because my calories were lower yesterday. So I decided I'd be super vigilant of my calories today. I tried to not eat between meals too. I was mostly decently successful. Calories were under 1600. I was sorta thinking for a minute there to fuck it and eat something more. But really that's not what I wanted. So I had some lettuce with salt and it was a reminder that I didn't need/want food, without it really counting for anything. And it's also been a good vehicle for salt recently, since I'm back to drinking more water.
I want to do something fun tomorrow. Our temperature is supposed to dip down to 20° though and, well, gosh, that's just too cold for outdoor exploring. I want to do specialness all day tho. Suggestions are welcome.

Use the Study Sheet to make sure you've done all you know how to do in preparing a piece of music. "Tests" are suggested and PRACTICE MODES FOR STUDY SHEET will give you more ideas about "tests" to be sure you have control of each item listed. The basic idea of the Study Sheet comes from the great violin pedagogue, Dorothy Delay.
1 Notes – use separate bows – say note names while playing. These can be sung
2 Rhythm – count out loud while playing. This should be spoken.
3 Dynamics – recite out loud while playing. Your voice should reflect the dynamics
4 Fingerings – write in (initially for accuracy [pedagogical fingerings] ultimately for music)
5 Bowings – write in (initially break them up for musical ease, stay close to composer's idea )
6 Tempo –conduct and sing. Establish target tempos start 3×3 practice
7 Intonation – use drone (and anything else that works for you) especially at ½ tempo
8 Strokes/articulation – use one-note-samba
9 Vibrato – also on one-note-samba. Vibrato should be a subdivision of the tempo
10 Bass Sound – wire nag / arm weight / cuff
11 Memory – have memorized one month before performance date
Score – XEROX a copy for study (and to give to your teacher to write comments)
O Find at least 3 performances, and listen
O Look up all terms, titles etc
O What is the FORM – identify sections verbally while playing
O Mark "free' spots on your part where the accompaniment is not playing.
O Pencil in cues for the accompaniment
Phrasing – XEROX part or use transparencies
O Mark all phrases
O Assign moods, feeling etc to what is being communicated
History – Find at least 3 facts
O For Whom written
O For What reason
O When
O Where
O Why
O How (compositional techniques)
O What era
O What style
TECHNICAL ISSUES – when problems arise
Shifting – "swinging doors" 3xs. Decide which kind of the 4 shifts you're using
Coordination of L/R hands – stuck bow on passages
Stance – feet on floor, body relaxed and poised. (Does it feel good?)
Bass Position – weight OFF of thumbs, free arm movement
Bow arm and grip – watch bow arm, use the cuff, watch bow arm in mirror, keep hand relaxed
Left hand position & acceleration – segmented stop-relax practice & note games
Head – keep back – watch yourself in the eye using a mirror while playing from memory
Face and Breathing – use a mirror
Continuity and Flow – think ahead, use your back 3xs3 practice
OTHER – remember to look at the LONG VERSION OF PRACTICE MODES

Jonah Keri says that no one outside of Boston wants the Bruins to win the Stanley Cup. His reasons include the snobbishness of Boston sports fans, regional rivalries with teams such as the Flyers and Rangers, and international solidarity between Vancouver and other Canadian cities.
Keri says that essentially the entire city has long since abandoned sport-specific loyalties, and so every person longing for the Bruins to reclaim the Cup should be more than satisfied with three Super Bowls, two World Series and an NBA Championship since 2001.
Keri is an idiot.
Keri Knows Little of Boston Fans
Yes, there are a large number of Bostonians who attach themselves to each sports team as the season merits it. The Celtics and Bruins own the winter, the Red Sox the spring (except for winter playoffs) and summer, the Patriots the fall. When each team is an exciting, competitive product, can you blame someone for wanting to experience all of them?
Those kind of sports fans occupy the lower tier of loyalty. To be a true fan requires an emotional investment on top of a time commitment. True fans feel pain when their teams lose and joy when they win. Prolonged failure causes melancholy and depression; prolonged success causes confidence and often arrogance. No one can be a true fan of four teams, because to do so would be to give up all control one's emotions the whole year round.
So, just like in any other city with multiple sports (Los Angeles, Chicago, New York), every citizen in Boston prioritizes one team over another. For me, the Red Sox and Patriots are the only teams that I actually care about. The Celtics and Bruins? I just root for them because they're entertaining. That's my order. For many others, the Bruins come first, and have for quite some time. And trust me, the pain of 39 years without the Stanley Cup for those fans is not at all helped by a Red Sox rolling rally or Kevin Garnett screaming and crying in triumph.
The Canucks are Not Worth Rooting For
Were it another team, a team of honorable and clean hockey players, Keri's argument that the world roots for the Canucks simply to deny Boston another title would have more merit. This Canucks team is not filled with honorable and clean players: it is filled with little children and dirty hitters.
Alex Burrows' bite. Maxim Lapierre's finger wag. The Sedins introducing Burrows as a "vegetarian." Aaron Rome slamming Nathan Horton so hard that he fell head-first to the ice and lay there, the "fencing response" to a concussion eerily holding his arm straight up. These are the players the world roots for? Bullies, cheaters and fools?
The fact is, the world is not rooting for the Canucks. Just ask Gord McIntyre of The Province, a Vancouver-based paper, who tells a very different story. Versus commentator Mike Millbury called the Sedins "Thelma and Louise." A Chicago hockey writer saw a picture of Cher at Rogers Arena, pointed at it and said "Luongo." Montreal Gazette writer Elliott Papp wrote Friday that the Canucks are not panicking, but the tone of his article clearly indicates he thinks the Bruins currently have the upper hand.
The media certainly aren't rooting for the Canucks, or at the very least they do not believe the Canucks have the advantage right now. What about the players?
McIntyre writes that former NHL player Jeremy Roenick, Edmonton Oilers defenseman Ryan Whitney and Chicago Blackhawks center Dave Bolland have all publicly come out against the Canucks. They agree that much of the NHL sees Vancouver as the villains of the series, especially Burrows and Rome. Bolland said they played "like a little girl," McIntyre writes.
So any argument that other teams, even other Canadian teams, are blindly supporting the Canucks is clearly incorrect. That just leaves the fans. All those Canadian fans must surely be rooting for a Canadian team, right?
Nope. McIntyre points out an Ontario-based blog called "Crash the Crease." The blog has been pointedly anti-Canucks recently, and it's run by a Canadiens fan and a Maple Leafs fan. Could some Canadian hockey fans be rooting for Vancouver? Sure. But Keri's assertion that "No one in Canada wants you to win" is just foolish.
The media aren't all rooting against the Bruins. Other NHL teams aren't all rooting against the Bruins. Non-Vancouver hockey fans aren't all rooting against the Bruins. Maybe it's just you, Mr. Keri, who is rooting against the Bruins.
You and Vancouver.

Liverpool star Luis Suarez: I want to join Barcelona
SPANISH newspaper Marca claim Luis Suarez wants to join Barcelona.
Marca today report that Suarez has told Barcelona he is keen to move to the Nou Camp.
Suarez, 27, is staring down the barrel of a big ban after becoming involved in his THIRD biting storm at the World Cup.
But Barca are not put off and Marca insist that Suarez wants to play under new boss Luis Enrique.
The newspaper was adamant that Gareth Bale would move to Real Madrid last year - despite Tottenham's hardline stance that he would stay.
The £86m move was then completed days before the transfer window closed.
If the news that Suarez wants out is true, it will stun Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
He sees the Uruguay ace, who netted 31 Premier League goals last season, as crucial to his plans to challenge for the title again.
Marca claim that Barcelona will put a player-cash-deal on the table to the Reds.
Alexis Sanchez, Pedro, Cristian Tello and Alex Song could all be involved in a possible deal.
Suarez signed a new mega-money deal at Liverpool in December to become the highest-paid player in the club's history.
The big wages he would demand hasn't put Barca off, though, and Marca claim they will offer him a huge contract to sign.

I'm going to try this title out on my iphone :) It's a pretty cool runner-style experience!
Nice game for loosing time :)
Super addictive but so fun! I can't beat 236 though.....🙁
Very good gaming experience. Awesome!!
COOL game. Nice work!
Cute. Could do with a combo system (ie, the more rabbits you grab in a row, the more of a bonus you get)
Fico muito feliz em ver bons games feitos por Brasileiros aqui, meus parabéns gillenew!
nice style!
The charcters are so hard to get!
The game stopped working, a blue screen. Any help?
Good game but could use a bug fix like when you get like ex: 191 points then the next turn you get 58 instead of having 191 at the end you should add up the two points together to get one whole point
Wow, got my respect.
Good game! I am best at it.

Intussusception occurs when a segment of bowel telescopes (similar to closing of a telescope) into a segment just distal to it. It is the most common cause of intestinal (bowel) obstruction (blockage) between 3 months and 6 years of age. The ileocolic (small bowel into the colon) intussusception is the most common type although it may occur anywhere in the small bowel and colon.
- The demarcation between the duodenum (1st part of small bowel) and the jejunum (2nd part of small bowel) is the ligament of Treitz (see Surgery of the Duodenum) (Figure 1)
- The jejunum makes up about one third of the proximal small bowel
- The ileum is the distal two thirds of the small bowel
- The jejunum, ileum, and associated mesenteries (supporting and suspending structures) are attached to the back wall of the abdomen. They are completely covered with peritoneum (single layer of cells that line the surface of the abdomen and bowel)
- The ileum joins the cecum (first part of the colon) in the right lower quadrant at the ileocecal valve near the appendix
- The small bowel possesses an extensive lymphatic network that aids in the absorption of nutrients. It drains from the bowel wall into adjacent lymph vessels and lymph nodes and ultimately getting into larger lymphatics that finally empty into the left subclavian vein. The lymphatics of the small bowel play a major role in immune response (response to infection)
- The telescoping process is known as intussusception (Figure 2)
- The leading proximal segment (intussusceptum) almost always telescopes into the distal segment (intussuscipens)
- There may be a leading edge in the form of a polyp, inverted appendiceal stump, Meckel's diverticulum (See Surgery of the Jejunum and Ileum) or tumor
- The leading edge gets caught up in the downstream peristalsis (wavelike action of the bowel wall that propels food) and is pulled into the distal bowel
- In most cases the cause is unknown but viruses are thought to induce hyperplasia (increased size) of Peyer's patches (lymphoid tissue) in the end of the ileum
Intussusception Preoperative Nursing Diagnosis and Interventions
Acute pain related to intestinal invagination
Goal: reduction in pain according to the perceived tolerance of children.
Results Criteria : The child shows no signs of pain or discomfort to a minimum.
- Observation of baby behavior as an indicator of pain, can be sensitive excitatory and highly sensitive to treatment or lethargic or unresponsive.
- Treatment of infants with very soft.
- Explain the causes of pain and reassure parents about the purpose of diagnostic tests and treatment.
- Reassure your child that analgesics are given to reduce pain that is felt.
- Explain about intussusception and intestinal hydrostatic reduction can reduce the intussusception.
- Explain the risk of recurrent pain.
- Collaboration: give analgesics to relieve pain.
Postoperative Intussusception Nursing Diagnosis and Interventions
Acute pain related to surgical incision
Goal: reduction in pain according to the tolerance in children.
Results Criteria : The child shows no signs of pain or discomfort to a minimum.
- Avoid palpation operating area when not needed.
- Insert rectal tube if indicated, to free air.
- Push for waste water to prevent distention of urinary vesicles.
- Give oral care to provide comfort.
- Lubrication of the nostrils to reduce irritation.
- Provide a comfortable position on the child if there are no contraindications.
- collaboration:
- Give an analgesic to treat pain.
- Give antiemetics to order for nausea and vomiting.

USC's English a star on and off the court
Richland County's athletic tradition includes athletes who have won Olympic gold medals, baseball Cy Young Awards, Super Bowl rings, NBA players of the year and college All-American honors.
One man above all embodies the best of athletics and humanitarian work away from his playing venue.
Alex English began his basketball career at Columbia's Hand Middle School, where he admits to playing one minute over two seasons.
"I wasn't good enough," he said bluntly.
He got better at Dreher High, where he grew into a star, and South Carolina, where he displayed the ability to score against the best competition in the country.
In the NBA with the Denver Nuggets, he scored more points than any player in the 1980s. That was a big reason why the 6-foot-7 English was elected to the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997, his first year of eligibility.
But his basketball exploits are only part of the man.
The other part includes the time in 1985, when he encouraged his fellow NBA players to donate their shares from the all-star game to aid in Ethiopian famine relief.
Or the time this month he spends in South Africa with Basketball Without Borders, teaching youths about basketball and life.
Or the time he spent last month speaking to coaches from Richland School District One during their Coaches Convocation.
"He's almost," Dreher athletics director Mike DuBard said, "a Renaissance man in many ways."
Maybe most amazing is the story English shared last month about his life's crossroads, when as a young boy, he found himself in a situation that could have prevented any of the above from becoming true.
"This," English said, "is one of those life lessons that sticks with you."
English was smitten for a neighborhood girl who was the younger sister of his older brother's girlfriend. To catch her eye, he decided to show off his athletic skills.
The problem came because instead of on the basketball court, he did so in a nearby car lot.
"I remember showing off for her by jumping from car to car to car, not realizing that these were brand new cars we were damaging," English said.
Soon after, while English was visiting a cousin's house, Columbia police arrived at the door.
"We've got to take you to jail," one of the officers said.
Scared, nervous and facing charges for damaging property, English sat in jail until his mother picked up him.
On his day in court, English stared up at the judge.
"Well, Mr, English," he recalls the judge saying, "you've done about $20,000 worth of damage. We need to know how you are going to pay for this."
Tears welled in English's eyes.
"I was a little kid," he said. "I didn't have any money, no 20 grand."
The judge asked English's mother if she could pay for the damages, but she admitted that her $2-an-hour job at a laundrymat left her short of that kind of cash.
"Well sir," the judge turned to English and said, "since you don't have any money to pay for this you are going to have to pay in a different way. You are going to have to go to jail."
At this point, English said, he began to cry. Jail at his age in the 1960s meant the Department of Juvenile Justice's John G. Richards facility.
"I'm sitting there thinking I'm going to John G," English said. "How long was I going to be there and who knows what I would be like when I came out?"
But what English did not know as he sat there was that his mother and his social worker had met privately with the judge to work out an agreement.
English had to get As, Bs and Cs in school. One D or F would land him at John G.
"Twice a month," the judge said, "you'll report to your court officer. If you have done well, we'll let you off the hook."
English saw that he had caught a break.
"Thank you, God," he said to himself. "Thank you. I'm not going to John G. Richards."
He never came close again.
"From that time on," he said, "I went to class and I did what I was supposed to do. I wasn't the greatest student but I knew I wasn't getting a D."
Doing what he was supposed to on and off the court, English became an NBA scoring champion and eight-time All-Star who won the league's Walter J. Kennedy Award in 1988 for his community service work.
He is now 54 and beginning his fifth season as an assistant coach with the Toronto Raptors. His next goal is a logical one: to be a head coach.
"With the coaching profession you can be in one day and out the next," English said. "But I would like to be a head coach. I've put the time in and learned a lot. If the time comes, it will happen if it's meant to be."
English was meant to do more than spend his youth in a home for juvenile delinquents. When he received a chance to reverse his course, he did it.
"He knows education is the key and he's always helped disadvantaged people," DuBard said. "There's a lot of pros that don't do that. Alex is above board and a great citizen, a great role model."

Were you frustrated by the Wii's treatment of NBA 2K10 last year? Well, Sony is looking to perfect the motion-sensing formula with NBA 2K11 on PlayStation 3. We've learned that the perennial basketball star will use both PlayStation Move and 3D TV technology when it releases on October 5.
No news on the exact motions that will be tapped to bring basketball to life as you wave your controllers at the screen, but we've been told that it will support shooting, passing, blocking shots, stealing and dunking. We'll have more on NBA 2K11's use of Move and 3D technology in the coming weeks, so stay tuned.

Miscanthus is a group of ornamental grasses that make excellent perennials. They are clump forming plants with reed-like stems and leaves that are narrow and arch to the ground. The flower heads are puffy plumes that form in late summer to fall and make good cut or dried flowers. Most species are moderately frost hardy. Miscanthus sinensis 'Yaku Jima' is the dwarf form of 'Gracillimus', it is fine textured, low growing (3-4′) and very hardy. This cultivar works great as a border plant. Blooms August through September with red tinged panicles that fade to silver. Miscanthus sinensis 'Yaku Jima' is part of our Plants For Texas® Program, meaning it was Texas Grown, Tested in Texas to perform outstanding for Texas Gardens.Hardiness Zone: 10, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Mission Statement
Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking (BEST) aligns and equips leaders to use the power of business to prevent human trafficking. In 2011, a Washington-based foundation hosted a series of meetings to examine how trafficking might be prevented in the state. A clear consensus emerged: Businesses were central to the prevention and reporting of human trafficking yet they were almost entirely absent in statewide and nationwide efforts and protocols. BEST: Businesses Ending Slavery and Trafficking was launched in March 2012 to fill that gap.
The goal of BEST is to prevent human trafficking, primarily within the U.S. We do so by engaging and educating businesses that unknowingly fund and facilitate trafficking. BEST leads three main programs:
1) Inhospitable to Trafficking (ITT): ITT is an in-depth training that educates hotel staff and management about how to recognize and halt trafficking. Trainings include specific examples of how/what/what/why to identify traffickers and victims, suitable ways to intervene with law enforcement, and appropriate ways to connect victims with support services. BEST provides resources online and in print to further education for hotel staff.
2) Employers Alliance: BEST Employers Alliance, is the first public/private, cross-sector partnership in the nation to address sex trafficking and buying. Working in partnership with the Prosecuting Attorney's Office and victim service providers, BEST engages employers in trafficking prevention efforts.
3) Safe Jobs Program: A lack of job opportunities is one of the most serious barriers for people seeking freedom from a trafficker. BEST aims to leverage its networks in the business community to find safe employment for trafficking survivors and persons at risk of trafficking.

Moffat County baseball splits pair of close games in Craig
Craig — Baseball made its season debut in Craig on Wednesday, and the result was two close games and a doubleheader split between Moffat County and Cedaredge high schools.
And while the Bulldogs lost a late lead in the second game, there were plenty of positives to take away from their first baseball in nearly three weeks. The Bulldogs are now 5-6 overall this season and 5-5 in the Western Slope League.
In the first game of the doubleheader Wednesday, pitching ruled early, with no runs through four innings. The game got much messier in the fifth, when pitcher Bubba Ivers recorded a strikeout to end the inning but the pitch bounced after the missed swing and the throw to first was wide. The Bruins took advantage of the error from there, scoring four runs with two outs to take a 4-0 lead.
Moffat County responded in the bottom of the inning, with Jake Bingham and Kolton Wickham leading off with singles. With walks, a wild pitch and a hit later, it was a tie game heading to the sixth inning.
Cedaredge scored again on a series of infield hits in the sixth and took a one-run lead into the final inning. In the seventh, Ivers led off and got on base, and Colten Yoast ripped a double to right-centerfield to score Ivers from first base and tie the game.
"I'm looking out and seeing my man on first base and thinking one thing," Yoast said about the situation. "I need to go oppo (to the opposite field). That's what I was able to do and it got us a big run."
Later in the inning, Jake Bingham grounded out to first base with the bases loaded, and while the Bruins were trying to turn a double play and end the inning, Gabe Maldonado rounded third and scored to give the Bulldogs a walk-off 7-6 win.
In the second game, pitcher Wyatt Oberwitte struggled with control in the early innings. Combined with defensive mistakes, the Bulldogs were behind 6-1 after two innings. But the Bulldogs battled back in the middle innings with quality at-bats.
In the third, they scored four runs on singles from Ivers and Yoast. In the fourth, they added two more to take a 7-6 lead. Trevor Kroese made it 8-6 with a sacrifice fly in the fifth.
The Bruins would come back with two runs in the top of the seventh inning and one more in the eighth. The Bulldogs threatened late but were unable to close the gap, eventually losing 9-8.
It was a tough loss for Moffat County, but coach Justin Folley saw some things from the Bulldogs he has been looking for all season.
"These kids did not give up today, either game," he said. "They did a good job. That's the first time all year, that being down 6-0 to start, we didn't quit. And the little things piled up, next thing you know it's a tie game."
Moffat County also got strong innings from Sheldon Greenwood in relief. He pitched a scoreless sixth and seventh in the first game, before delivering five innings in the second game.
"I can't say enough about him today," Folley said. "He took the loss for us in that second game, but he did his job and picked us up when we needed him."
Yoast also saw positives from his team.
"We had some good at-bats and came back from being down," he said. "That's something we've had trouble with this season. We played some good defense late in the game even though it was cold out and our hands were brittle. I think there's a lot of good things from both games."

You'd think that people would have had enough of silly cat songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly cat songs.
And what's wrong with that?
Id like to know, cause here we go again...
I don't know about all of you, but I think Klusman really captured the essence of cat love with "Kitty Love Song." The video is also a cautionary tale (tail?) re why you should not let cats sleep with you or into your bedroom -- and why guys should not wear sleeveless shirts.
Btw, for those of you who are unfamiliar with the humorous cat videos of Paul Klusman, he is "an engineer living in beautiful, exotic, Wichita, KS... [which] has the
excitement and ambiance of a gravel parking lot. To pass the time [he is]
involved in a number of hobbies including swing dancing, aerobatic
flying (in a Pitts S-1S), and silly cat videos...."
He is also the creator of the classic "An Engineer's Guide to Cats."

What You Need To Know on How to Generate Check Stub For Loans
Therefore where the money lenders are issuing you with a loan they are more concerned about your capability to pay the mortgage on time. Theodore where one is seeking for a quick loan approval one must have the financial documents and other loan documents as they are used as the bases for assessing your capability to pay back the Loans. The first way of creating the impression that you can manage to pay the loan on time is by presenting the check stubs. The check stubs are very important since they indicate how much you earn, how much you are paid and the amount of money you accumulated during a year.
It is therefore crucial that you one now's on how to get a check stub for quick loans. A sort of work and trade determines the nature of the check loan stub that a person should generate. The first kind of the stub is for those people with full time employment. Therefore it's very important for a person with a full time employment to keep proper record of his or her earnings. Proper record keeping of your investment helps you in keeping track of your finances and also identifies any withholding tax mistakes before the period. Such vital records are also crucial while applying for a loan since they act as check stubs. Where people are employed one can contact the human resources or the accounting department and ask them to generate the check stub for you.
The small business owners are also other people required to generate the check k stubs for loans. It's therefore crucial that each small business owner discovers it's up on him or her to create the check stubs for the loan by themselves. It's therefore imperative that the small business owners keep regular records of their earnings as a way of generating the check stub for loans. Therefore for the small business owners who do not have finance departments to generate accurate check stubs, they should use the online check stub generator.
It's important therefore that we look on how the freelancer can create their chest stub. Freelancing involves earning income by writing and offering reports. In such conditions it's critical that the freelancers do keep good records of their weekly earnings and expenses as a way of producing the check stub. With the freelance, it's upon them to create the check stubs by themselves since the wet don't have the finance or accounting departments. The online check stub generators have made it very easy for the freelancers to generate the check stubs for themselves.

According to A List Daily (a gaming industry site), social game investments have "fallen off a cliff" in the last year. Investments are down 94 percent. No, you didn't misread that. Only one twentieth of the funds are going into the sector.
Meanwhile, another story there says that mobile gaming is now "cluttered". Budgets are skyrocketing, yields are falling, users are getting harder and harder to get and retain, and new entrants face the reality that Apple gets 128 new game app submissions every single day.
So the darling of a few years ago, social gaming, has collapsed. Everybody that was singing the praises of "social" before is now piling into the mobile scene. I think that they might just want to survey the wreckage they left behind a bit first. There's some lessons to be learned there.

A little action from Bloodlust: The Seeds of Ruin, my newest Domains of the Chosen book.
The massive projectile shot though the air. To most in the crowd it seemed unnaturally fast, almost like a lightning bolt. To swift-footed Hummingblade, it was easy to measure the speed of the projectile and avoid it, leaving the ice to plunge into the sand where she has been standing, and shatter.
The crowd cheered when they saw how deftly the Gladiatrix escaped the lethal projectile. Hummingblade, however, was more concerned with the Frost Reaver, which closed in the wake of the ice attack. It swiped at her with a huge paw, under which she ducked, and then swung its tusked jaw toward her.
A less skilled Gladiatrix would have leapt over the tusks and struck at the beast's face, but Hummingblade was keenly aware of a second paw ready to swipe at her, and she leapt out of reach instead. The Frost Reaver was cunning enough to try a feint, it seemed.
As Hummingblade channelled, the beast reared up onto its hind legs, its shadow falling over her, before it came down like an avalanche, trying to crush her with its bulk. The Gladiatrix leapt aside, raking her sword along the beast's back as it slammed into the sand. Most of the slash was absorbed by the Frost Reaver's thick plates, but some blood splashed on to white sands. She finished weaving another spell then, a Mind Vice which would cause the Frost Reaver great agony as its brain misfired. She could feel the spell take effect as she cast it.
Undaunted the Frost Reaver, swung its head at her again. This time Hummingblade leapt over the deadly tusks, feeling the heat of its breath and inhaling the carrion stink of its maw, and struck out with her blade. She could have finished the fight then, driving her sword through the beast's eye and into its brain, but she needed to work the crowd into a proper frenzy. They wanted blood, not a quick, clean kill, and so instead she slashed The Frost Reaver's scalp, painting its forehead crimson.
The crowd roared and shouted her name as the blood ran freely. It was easy then to see why people like Skaerus might want to turn against the Domains; popularity could only help their cause.
The Frost Reaver, however, was still fighting for its life. It turned and exhaled a puff of freezing particles in a cloud. Hummingblade, perhaps distracted by her thoughts, was caught in the blast. Frost formed on her skin and armour, and she stumbled. Claws crashed into the ground beside her as she careened away, her skin freezing and cracking as the intense cold washed over her.
Then, too late, Hummingblade saw the shadow of the tail in the wake of the attack. She felt an impact like the kick of a bull as it connected with her body, sending her flying back and skidding across the arena. Pain surged through Hummingblade as she tried to regain her breath. Her ribs were broken. Fortunately, the beast's blow had thrown her well out of its reach. She pushed herself to her feet, gritting her teeth as the ruined, frozen skin on her cheeks and abdomen split. The Frost Reaver was thundering toward her, blood running into its eyes, jagged shards of ice forming above it.

Micronesia Eco Lodges and Hotels
Australia and Oceania – Ecotourism in Micronesia Eco Lodges and Hotels
Micronesia has some of the best world class diving. I know from personal experience as I lived on Guam and visited other islands. I was amazed at the huge fish, giant clams and colorful reefs. If you're a diver, you can't miss Micronesia.
The Federated States of Micronesia includes numerous islands and atolls. The four major island groups are Kosrae, Phonpei, Chuuk and Yak. The capital is on Kosrae. they are far off the beaten path and as such practice ecotourism somewhat as a necessity although Micronesia Eco Lodges are increasingly popular there and are doing a good job of preserving Micronesia.
Below is an image from one of our Micronesia Eco Lodges in Kosrae, Kosrae Village.

My cousin-in-law, the one I just made the quilt for, had a shower Saturday night. I wanted to make something that she would like.
Using a small tablecloth from my husband's-uncle's-mother's stash, that I inherited, I made a bonnet.
The scalloped edge gives it a feminine touch, while the pin-tuck makes it classic.
I also made a bonnet out of white broadcloth.
With a touch of lace.
I hope she enjoys them.

In September 2013 I began a new career of teaching pre-school children in Prague. Although this new path has limited my time for focusing on my next book, it has given me the chance to write songs and poems for the children that I teach.
I have already mentioned the hardship of leaving children when you become attached, and this will be hard at the end of the school year in June, when most of my class will leave for primary school.
Leave as they must, I'll be happy that with them they take a song or two that I wrote with them in mind. Here are my favorite songs for these young boys and girls.
You can sail upon the Ocean,
You can sail upon the Sea,
A song to remember all the names of these,
Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Southern,
The cold of the Arctic too,
All of the oceans and all of the seas,
Shimmer a shiney blue.
We have the Planets and the Stars, Jupiter and Mars,
We have the rivers and the seas, the plants and the trees,
We have the animals and birds, butterflies and bees,
We have our toys to lend, and best of all we have our friends.
I had a little fishie,
She climbed into a tree,
She ate all the bananas
So she could look like me.
A million years went by,
A million starry skies,
Now she's counting fingers
And she can count to five.
With our Christmas concert just around the corner, we'll be writing together again for this special time of year.

It all started with a mouse…
There are precious view visionaries in our lives now. Men and women who see the world differently than you and I, people who know that all it takes is one push, and the culture follows suite. Steve Jobs was one of these people.
The American dream, as we understand it, has always been to make something of yourself using what you were born with. Hard work and ingenuity brings a life of fulfillment and happiness, as well as pushing the boundaries of existence. In the early 21st century, fortunes are won and lost by bartering other people's fortunes. Moving money around, speculating on stocks, buying and selling foreign currency, reaping the benefits of mortgages, both good and bad, have made thousands of people wealthy in this country. But as America moves closer to a service and financed-based economy, is there still room for the tinker, the inventor, the visionary?
Apple has proven that yes, there's still room. And much like our beloved Walt Disney, Steve Jobs created not only a product, but a lifestyle and culture that will live long after we're gone. In the coming weeks, you'll read a lot about the similarities between Jobs and Disney, it's no mistake that Disney crafted a relationship with Jobs and Apple years ago. The business plans and philopshies are just too in synch with one anther to be ignored. And for this, fans of Disney and Apple can be grateful. We can hope that like Disney, Jobs put in place people who will carry out his dreams and wishes to keep Apple on a path of success, while never losing sight of the fact that it all started with a mouse…
Followers of Apple's history have heard the story of a visit to the Xerox headquarters and the discovery of a funny little device that allowed users to interact with their computer's in a way they never could have before, the mouse. In 1983, Apple introduced the one-button 'Lisa Mouse' to the world, and computing never looked back. It was this single device that, in my mind, perfectly sums up Jobs vision of the future: integrating the computer into your life in such a way that it not only becomes essitnatal to your job, it becomes an extension of your body.
Much like Walt Disney, Jobs wanted to bring the user, or guest, into a world crafted to appeal to them. One that worked, almost by magic. One that always promised quality, craftsmanship and happiness. One that once you stepped inside, you're life would never be the same. I know this sounds bombastic, but look at your life currently. The chances are high you're reading this on a Mac, or Mac product. I'm writing this on an iMac. I'm getting emails on my iPhone. Searching for photos on my iPad. And if you're not using the products themselves, you're using something that was crafted and popularized by Apple: a mouse, a touch screen, a user interface that you manipulate and change to meet your needs.
In 1984, a fact whose irony was not lost on my even at the time, I first used an Apple IIe. The first all in one computer. I sat in a college classroom at the age of 14 at 'Computer Camp,' a week of learning BASIC, a simple computer language built on if/then commands. I honestly don't remember what I learned, but I remember the machines, beige with green screens, it was like going to the future. And as life progessed, I had the honor and pleasure of never using a PC. In close to 20 years of graphic design and art direction, I never used an IBM PC clone. In fact, when I started, you couldn't do desktop publishing on a PC. I started in PageMaker, moving on to Quark Xpress and now Adobe InDesign. Quark didn't even make a PC version for years. I had to convince bosses and supervisors that purchasing a computer that frankly cost a lot more than a PC was a good investment in the long term. I bought a Blueberry iMac in 1999 to start a freelance design business. An iPod Shuffle in 2005, an iPod video in 2006, and iPhone in 2008 and an iPad earlier this year. At my current potion, in 13 years, I've used 5 different Mac computer models. And in that time, only two hard drive failures. Can the American car industry say that? Steve Jobs created a product that I can no longer live without. These items are integrated into virtually every aspect of my life. I work on them, play on them, share photos with them, teach things to my daughter with them. Every item I've created and posted on this blog…from a Mac. Other than Disney, I can think of no other consumer product I use more.
So it is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Jobs. As Disney fans, we can thank him for helping to fund Pixar, the company that has set the standard for not only computer animation, but story telling, much like Walt Disney himself. Jobs' relationship with Disney over the years has pushed both companies forward in ways no one imagined. And that legacy of both men, will continue to do so for years. I'm struck by how affected by his death I'm becoming and coming to terms that no matter how much money you have, or what accomplishments you made, everyone dies. It's this view that reflects what great men have said since the beginning of history…it's not what you do, it's what you leave behind that will be remembered.
You'll be missed sir.

Isco To Fly In For SHOCK Arsenal Medical? The Latest Update
With Arsenal target moving clubs every day, Arsenal is increasingly at the risk of ending another window without having signed what we need. Another of our target Isco, is reportedly set to stay put at Real Madrid this summer update from reports claim. The Spanish midfielder has been linked with Arsenal and Manchester City but it appears the player will remain with Los Blancos for some time.
Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane stated that the 24-year-old won't be sold at any point in the near future after the Gunners and the Citizens decided to meet the Spanish giants valuation of more than £30million.
"Isco won't leave Real Madrid," he said.
It was trusted that the former Malaga star Isco was planning to test himself in the Premier League however it would seem that he will now prepare for the 2016/17 season with the Champions League winners as the club are not ready to sell him despite the fact that he hardly gets to play.
Signing Isco would have boosted Arsenal's midfield and wing. His versatility would have been useful to us when the normal injury problems odd. He can play on the right wing and in the 10 role. His signing would have afforded us the opportunity of resting Ozil and keep him fresh to the end of the season.

Building a Literate Community
|Date: Friday, May 15, 2015
|Time: 8:00am to 2:30pm
|Location: Merle Elliott Conference Center - Career Programs Building at Hagerstown Community College
|Cost: FREE - includes;continental breakfast,snacks, drinks, and lunch provided.
Join members of educational, non-profit, business and government organizations to learn more about how early literacy impacts all aspects of our community.
Welcome to The Hagerstown Rotary Literacy Initiative
The Hagerstown Rotary Literacy Initiative will advocate for a community-wide collaboration to increase the number of students entering school ready to learn and decrease the number of elementary students experiencing summer learning loss.
Why Should You Get Involved?
Childhood Literacy is becoming increasingly understood to be important to our community. It is increasingly being recognized that the most effective way to raise productive, contributing members of society is to help parents develop a broad range of skills in their children, easily measured by literacy related skills. Our school system does an excellent job teaching children, but this is an increasing challenge because children in our community are being recognized as not fully ready to learn.
Evidence clearly points to far too many of our community's children starting school not ready to learn, meaning they have not developed the literacy related skills expected of a 5 year old. While the school system can help at risk children, the burden is usually too much for the school system alone. And to complicated matters, there is mounting evidence that at risk children can experience a loss of 2 grade equivalents to some student peers solely attributable to summer vacations.
Our efforts are targeted to improve the prospects for at risk children starting school ready to learn and to encourage enrichment activities that will help these children achieve on grade reading compared by the end of third grade.
