'Walking on Water' Shares the Importance of Study Abroad Programs
According to the international Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development, the rate of students going abroad is expected to increase by 12 percent every year. This number becomes relevant when one realizes the rise in quality and number of study abroad programs around the world.
Author Eleanor Goodall has a thorough understanding of the value of study abroad and world travel in general. Her new book, "Walking on Water," follows a young college girl as she studies in Venice and falls in love with a foreign land.
"Every year my husband and I take one of our grandchildren anywhere in the world they want to go," Goodall said, "we've been to Italy multiple times and my granddaughter especially loved Venice."
"Walking on Water" is inspired by Goodall's granddaughter's experiences with study abroad as she falls in love with the opportunity to learn a new language and culture, meet people from all over the world and even just sample new foods or drinks.
"The world today is one massive global society," Goodall said, "if we want our children to succeed we need to encourage them to see other parts of the world and what better time to do so than when they're young and open-minded."
With so many great study abroad opportunities available in schools around the world, Goodall just hopes her book will encourage people to try them.

Joe Rosochacki
Oscar, Bert and Ernie
The Sesame Street characters should another gig,
Somewhere they can make big bucks big,
It has come to this writers conclusion that 30k,
For pre-school and Kindergarten is too much to pay.
I was floored
when I heard tuition being reported by Forbes
That people sign their children on waiting list
At birth or if they're Jewish, the baby boy at his briss.
If I were Oscar, Bert, Ernie and Big Bird
I would go on strike,
Or the Count,
Can you count,
vahn, two, three times ten times thousand,
What's the word?
Red, Green, Yellow
Donovan was mellow,
Betcha' his parents never 13,000 quid for British Kindergarten,
Day cares should a lot cheaper than that,
It a pity, that parents who in the city,
Are forgetting the most important thing,
They are their child's teacher,
The Sesame Street Song,
-they should, with their children, sing.

HubSpot: Avoiding competition with Boston startups is not a goal
Send this to a friend
- Kyle Alspach
- Technology Editor- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter | Google+
Some of the new software unveiled by HubSpot on Tuesday at the firm's Inbound Conference looks a lot like products that Boston startups have already been offering.
HubSpot's new Signals product, for instance, will allow salespeople to see when whether an email to a customer lead has been opened. That's something Boston startup Yesware has been offering since mid-2011 for salespeople using Gmail.
HubSpot's new Social Inbox product, meanwhile, aims to "fight the noise" in social media feeds by delivering the most relevant posts to a user. Cambridge startup Cloze has been offering its own "noise-canceling" inbox for social posts since mid-2012.
In all cases, there is more to the story — Yesware's product also syncs emails with CRM systems, for instance, while Cloze prioritizes email messages as well as social posts.
And HubSpot's new products offer other features as well. Signals lets allows users "watch" prospective customers on LinkedIn, and then receive notifications when that person has posted or changed anything on the site. And Social Inbox lets users view social activity based upon whether people are customers, leads or from some other segment.
In any case, building software that competes with smaller players is a common part of the technology business.
But I still had to ask whether Cambridge-based HubSpot — a company active in the Boston startup community — had any second thoughts about building products that would appear to be competitive with local startups.
"We think about the customer," said CTO Dharmesh Shah, during a media briefing following the product announcements at Inbound, in response to the question.
And CEO Brian Halligan: "Our goal for Boston is to build a big, sustainable company that's around for 100 years, not necessarily to make sure we don't compete with another Boston company."
Halligan also said he believes the firm's other big product announcement of the day — the HubSpot content optimization system — could put the company in more competition with open-source content management system Drupal, which also has local ties. Dries Buytaert created Drupal and co-founded Burlington-based Acquia to provide tools and services for Drupal users.
"We'll end up competing with WordPress and Drupal and all these open-source guys, and I think we'll win," Halligan said.

The 5 most outrageous ways birthday girl Rosario Dawson has encouraged you to vote! (VIDEOS)
Today is Puerto Rican and Afro-Cuban actress Rosario Dawson's birthday! The gorgeous 33-year-old star of Men in Black II, Rent and Eagle Eye has always been more than just another Hollywood starlet though. Since co-founding Voto Latino in 2004, she's been spreading the message to get Latinos out to vote. Luckily for us, she's been a laugh riot in the meantime because she isn't afraid to do something funny or silly to get you to vote.
This year all she wants for her birthday is for you to take the Rosario Dawson's Birthday Pledge to vote this year. But first, check out these hysterical (and inspiring!) videos from the actress herself.
Read more ¿Qué más? The 5 funniest Latinas EVER on SNL before Sofia Vergara (VIDEOS)
1. Rosario laughs it up with buddies like Wilmer Valderrama in telenovela-like episodes of "La Pasion De La Decision."
2. Rosario makes a joke out of "Vote? Why Bother?", exemplifying the negative apathetic attitude some can have.
Want to find other moms como tú? "Like" MamásLatinas on Facebook!
3. Rosario giggles with Jimmy Kimmel about why she co-founded Voto Latino and encourages Guillermo to join in.
4. Rosario makes us laugh as she accepts a Hispanic Heritage Awards while joking about not having babies yet.
5. Rosario sings and dances in a Voto Latino-rendition of "America" in the hysterical conclusion to her telenovela.
What's your favorite funny video of Rosario Dawson trying to get us Latinos to vote? Are you planning to vote in Election 2012? Share with us in the comments below!

Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger…cookies. Yep that's right, in an apparent flashback to my 90′s childhood I'm embracing these peanutty candy bars once again. Only this time I'm not eating candy bar after candy bar while channeling Bart Simpson. Instead I'm chopping up Butterfingers and adding them to cookies while I channel Betty Crocker. Oh how the times have changed.
These chewy cookies were a spur of the moment concoction resulting from an unplanned trip to our local Target. Sandwiched in between the rows of Halloween costumes and Christmas decorations (I know, early right?) there were aisles of fairly priced Halloween candy, including our childhood favorite: Butterfingers. So I picked up a couple of bags and headed home. Once home, the rain pounding on the windows and the warmth of a fire brought on a baking mood that I just couldn't shake. However,with only a few hours before I had to head out of the house for our dinner reservations I was short on time. So whats a girl to do? Suddenly it came to me: Baking mood + short on time + Butterfingers = Butterfinger Cookies. It was the perfect way to spend my afternoon and the perfect excuse to skip dessert at dinner that night.

Into the fray: The magnate and the mullah, A Friedman fantasy
New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman (L) and US casino magnate Sheldon Adelson..
(photo credit:REUTERS)
Truth be told, Tom Friedman can be a pretty astute and articulate journalist – except when he writes about Israel.Then his work degenerates from the astute to the inane and from the articulate to the incoherent.But even by his usual misleading sub-standards, his recent piece, "Sheldon: Iran's Best Friend" (The New York Times, April 5), was a doozy.Full Disclosure
In it he makes a puerile attempt to draw a parallel between the danger that the rabid anti-Israel mullah Ali Khamenei and the avid pro-Israel magnate Sheldon Adelson pose for the Jewish state.Full disclosure: In the past I have applied to Adelson's Foundation for financial support for my own nonprofit entity – The Israel Institute for Strategic Studies. But sadly, I have not received a bent penny. So I have very little allegiance to Adelson that might induce me to write in his defense against Friedman's frivolous attack, although malicious souls will doubtless imply that I do. Quite the opposite is true. I have a completely different rationale for penning this week's column. My reason for doing so is to use Friedman's article to show how intellectually corrupted the discourse on the Israel-Palestinian issue has become, and how self-contradictory and disingenuous the increasingly desperate arguments of two-state proponents have become.These elements are all starkly illustrated in Friedman's anti-Sheldon rant and vividly underscore just how bankrupt the two-staters' case has become.'Toxic tycoons'? Accordingly, I do not want to dwell too long on Friedman's childish chagrin that Adelson is using his self-amassed fortune to advance causes he believes in, and to support politicians he feels would be likely to promote them.But some brief reference is unavoidable.Friedman alleges: "Adelson personifies everything that is poisoning our democracy and Israel's today — swaggering oligarchs, using huge sums of money to try to bend each system to their will."But after even the most cursory perusal of his anti-Sheldon diatribe, any fair-minded reader might be excused for concluding that what really bothers Friedman is not the toxicity of the democratic system in the US or Israel, nor the power plutocrats per se have in affecting the outcomes it produces.Indeed, I have a strong suspicion that if Adelson were funding the same political causes and/or organizations as, say, George Soros, he would not have come in for censure.The same is probably true regarding Warren Buffett, Haim Saban, S. Daniel Abraham or any one of the almost 170 billionaire benefactors of the US Democratic Party.In any event, there is not a hint of disapproval from Friedman regarding the influence brought (or bought) to bear on the political process from fat-cats who happen to share his political predilections in general, and on the Israel-Palestinian issue in particular.I would bet long odds that if Adelson was pouring money into the coffers of the Democratic Party or J Street or the New Israel Fund, that would be just fine and dandy with Tom.Friedman's true focus is not ensuring the expression of vox populi, uncorrupted and undistorted by big bucks protecting personal interests or promoting pet projects of munificent magnates.
Hidden agenda poorly concealed Instead, his real agenda is the preservation of the viability of the two-state paradigm that is rapidly descending into well-deserved political irrelevance. I, for one, have little doubt that Friedman would have few qualms in endorsing subversion of the stand of the democratic majority if it clearly entailed jettisoning the two-state approach.After all, far more funds have been channeled in to institutionalized instruments of influence that blatantly promote Friedmanesque agendas regarding the Mideast conflict than into those promoting any opposing perspectives. This has elicited little condemnation from him as to their noxious effect on Israeli or US democracy.Friedman finds nothing objectionable in the massive funding of organizations not only heavily biased toward Democratic Party perspectives on international affairs in general, but toward support for the two-state solution, in particular – such as the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace in Washington, its Israel counterpart, the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Strategic Dialogue in Netanya, and the Saban Center for Middle East Policy, also in Washington.Then of course there is the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in Tel Aviv, funded by Australian billionaire Frank Lowy, whose flagship project is the perversely paradoxical endeavor to attain "peace without partners" – i.e., to bring about a two-state solution by re-implementation of the failed formula of unilateral withdrawal, irrespective of the outcome of any negotiations with the Palestinians.
Hypocritical double standardsI know of no comparable countervailing institution, with anything remotely approaching the same financial resources, that overtly opposes the two-state formula and the disproven doctrine/dogma of political appeasement and territorial concession on which it is based.None of this, however, apparently arouses concern in Friedman as to the effect of "swaggering [albeit like-minded] oligarchs, using huge sums of money to try to bend each system to their will."Apparently, the litmus test for being a "swaggering oligarch" trying fiendishly to "bend the system to his/her will" is whether he/she is a Republican and/or opposed to the failed two-state formula. If you are a Democrat and/or endorse the two-state principle, then you neither "swagger" nor use your wealth to "bend the system to your will."No, if you are a Democrat two-stater you are merely a benign benefactor facilitating the pursuit of progressive, humanistic and democratic values – promoting the establishment of yet another Muslim-majority tyranny.Hypocritical double standards, anyone?
'Occupation,' orthodoxy – and the shape of the earth The roots of Friedman's rancor that ignited his tirade against Adelson apparently can be traced to the recent decision by GOP presidential hopeful New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to apologize to Adelson for referring to Judea-Samaria as "occupied territories."Contemptuously portraying Christie as a cap-in-hand supplicant, Friedman pontificates that "occupied territories" is the term "any knowledgeable American leader would [use]," adding that Christie merely "called something by its true name… in the way the US government always has!" One might have thought Friedman would be aware of the fact that popularity – no matter how great – cannot transform fallacy into fact, nor folly into wisdom, and however pervasive the misuse of the term in the US diplomatic establishment, it is hardly reason to ascribe it substantive, self-evident validity.It be might salutary to recall that in days bygone, orthodoxy commanded that the earth was flat, and those who dissented were burnt at the stake, much as those who resist the two-state orthodoxy are today – at least figuratively – in the mainstream media and academia where left-wing orthodoxy reigns supreme.'Liberated' more plausible than 'occupied' Although I am not overly doctrinaire in insisting on linguistic precision in the Israel- Palestinian discourse, I would be extremely curious to know how Friedman would justify his obdurate insistence as to the aptness of "occupied territories" as the "true name" for Judea-Samaria, other than by invoking politically correct convention. For it seems that neither historical fact nor political truth have any role to play in his choice of terminology.After all, they were NEVER claimed as the Palestinian homeland until they came under Israeli administration after Jordan, which had forcibly occupied them in 1948, lost them in its failed war of aggression in 1967, aimed at annihilating the Jewish state.Indeed, up until 1968, the Palestinian themselves, in their National Charter, explicitly eschewed any claims to sovereignty over these territories, designating them part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which continued to demand sovereignty over them until 1988, when it unilaterally and arbitrarily stripped the Arab inhabitants of their Jordanian citizenship.All things considered, "liberated" might be a far more factually appropriate term with which to designate the areas that Friedman would have us designate "occupied." But when it comes to Israel, he has seldom seemed committed to the factually correct, preferring to adhere to the fashionable myths and false dictates of the politically correct.Need to nurture enemy leadership? Recent events, however, do seem to have dented Friedman's confidence as to the possibility of attaining a negotiated agreement with the Palestinians. Whereas once this was an option that he asserted with complete assurance was only impeded by Binyamin Netanyahu's misplaced, myopic intransigence, he now admits to a modicum of skepticism: "I don't know if Israel has a Palestinian partner for a secure withdrawal from the West Bank, or ever will."But this, heaven forfend, does not compel him to the logical conclusion that perhaps a change of policy be pondered and alternatives to the two-state solution be considered.Quite the opposite. He urges Israel to continue to push forward along the very same path, but with even greater vigor: "But I know this: If Israel wants to remain a Jewish, democratic state, it should be doing everything it can to nurture such a partner or acting unilaterally to get out."So there you have the Friedmanesque take on Israel's options: Either (a) nurture a peace partner for the Palestinians who are apparently incapable of nurturing one themselves; or (b) relinquish everything it might conceivably relinquish in negotiations with an appropriate peace partner in exchange for some reciprocal benefit, to an inappropriate peace partner without negotiations and without receiving any reciprocal benefits.Need to nurture (cont.) The suggestion that Israel somehow "nurture a Palestinian partner for a secure withdrawal" is enlightening – because it underscores just how absurdly threadbare the case for two states has become.It would be intriguing to learn how Friedman conceives of this "nurturing" process" translating into actionable measures.After all, to be effective such a partner would need to be authoritative. But to be authoritative he would have to be accepted by the Palestinian public. However, nothing would undermine his authority more, and make him less acceptable to the Palestinian public, than having him seen as a Zionist lackey being "nurtured" by Israel.But this of course, begs the question of what Israel should/could do to "nurture" such a partner. Over recent years, Israel has made a long list of far-reaching, heart-wrenching and unreciprocated concessions – the most recent being the release of scores of convicted murderers guilty of the most brutal acts of terror imaginable.Yet all of this has been of no avail. No matter how many concessions are made, they induce no reciprocal good will from the Palestinians.Each concession merely becomes the point of departure for a new demand for the next concession.So what is Friedman prescribing in his nurturing routine? Making even more perilous concessions that the Israeli population would not accept? In all probability this is what he envisages, for as I suggested above, "I have little doubt that Friedman would have few qualms in endorsing subversion of the stand of the democratic majority if it entailed jettisoning the two-state approach."A different Israeli alternative So in effect what Friedman is proposing is either (a) accomplish the impossible (nurture a Palestinian partner); or (b) adopt what has already failed (unilateral withdrawal) – otherwise it will cease to be a Jewish, democratic state.I beg to differ. There is a clear alternative to those advanced by Friedman.In a brutally condensed nutshell this involves relating to the Palestinians as the really are and as they define themselves – an implacable enemy.Accordingly, Israel should terminate the supply of every service and all merchandise it provides today. In other words, no water, no electricity, no fuel, no postal services, no communications, no port facilities, no tax collection will be supplied by Israel.Undoubtedly, there will be howls of horror that such a policy will precipitate a "humanitarian crisis." It will, in all likelihood, cause significant hardship. But such accusations should be countered by the offer of generous relocation grants for any Palestinian, weary of the suffering his leaders have wrought on him/his family, who wishes to seek a better life elsewhere.That is the Israeli alternative that must be inserted into the agenda as the only realistic Zionist response to Palestinian intransigence.Martin Sherman (www.martinsherman.net) is founder and executive director of the Israel Institute for Strategic Studies (www.strategic-israel.org)

KIEV (Reuters) - Russia has started a build-up of armoured vehicles on the Russian side of a narrow stretch of water between Russia and the Ukrainian region of Crimea, Ukrainian border guards said on Monday.
A border guard spokesman also said Russian ships had been moving in and around the Crimean port city of Sevastopol, where the Russian Black Sea Fleet has a base, and that Russian forces had blocked mobile telephone services in some parts of Crimea.
He said the build-up of Russian armour was near a ferry port on the Russian side of what is known as the Kerch Strait, which separates the eastern edge of the Crimea peninsula and the western edge of the Taman Peninsula.
The strait is 4.5 km (2.8 miles) wide at its narrowest point and up to 18 metres (59 feet) deep.
"There are armoured vehicles on the other side of the strait. We can't predict whether or not they will put any vehicles on the ferry," the spokesman said by telephone.
The border guard spokesman did not say how many armoured vehicles had gathered in Russian territory, opposite the city of Kerch on the Ukrainian side of the strait.
There was no immediate comment from the Russian Defence Ministry.
The Kerch Strait also connects the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov.
Russian forces have taken control of Crimea, which has an ethnic Russian majority, and Ukraine has ordered a military mobilisation as well as putting its forces on combat alert.
Russia's upper house of parliament has authorised President Vladimir Putin to deploy troops in Ukraine to defend Russian speakers in Ukraine who are said by Moscow to be under threat.

Chris is totally awesome!!! He really worked hard on my case to get me the best settlement. I would recommend him to family and friends. He is the best!!! ;
After over a year in a half of dealing with a car accident situation and getting no where, Mr. Breault took over my case and I was handed a check in a matter of a couple of months. He communicated with me through the whole process. If ever in need of a car accident attorney he is the man to call.
Another law firm had my case for almost two years. The insurance company offered to settle my case for less than my medical bills. I wasn't going to get anything. I didn't think this was fair after how bad I was hurt in the car wreck. I reached out to Chris to see if he would help on my case. After taking my case, Chris got the insurance company to settle for more than twice what the other firm was going to get me. I got my medical bills paid and I took home THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS more. And he did it within a few weeks.
Chris is an amazing choice for a lawyer. He was helpful, insightful, and absolutely got me the best deal I could ask for. He went out of his way to be the best lawyer he could be and I highly recommend him to anyone in need. He is also affordable! I found myself in trouble for a somewhat major drug offense, and being a college student, I didn't know who to turn to. He gave me great legal advice and ended up representing me at court as my lawyer. He worked with me on a price I could afford and he got me twice as good a deal as we were hoping for. I couldn't have asked for better help.
I hired Mr. Breault earlier this year for a civil matter. His overall approach and strategy was excellent. He kept me informed and updated during the entire process from start to finish. In my previous experience I have had issue with accessibility and basic communication with attorneys. Mr. Breault was at the other end of the spectrum. He excels in breaking things down to his clients and always has various options to approach the case and keeps his clients abreast of all aspects of the legal process. I highly recommend his legal expertise for anyone dealing with a civil case.
I recently hired Chris as my lawyer in a very complicated and time-sensitive case. With short notice, Chris assured me he was the man for the job. I was extremely happy with the results that Chris achieved, all I had to do was show up and he did all the work. Having his personal cell phone number made me feel connected and confident in Chris as my attorney. Hopefully I will not need representation in the future but I assure you that if I do, I will be calling Chris Breault first with no doubt that he will handle the job diligently.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.
