Los Angeles Soccer: Cody Carlson
LOCALS: Steres makes jump from PDL
Now he's back with the Sounders, taking the next step in his journey to being a full-fledged professional.
Steres (Calabasas/Calabasas HS), who starred at San Diego State, was taken by Seattle in last week's college-waiver draft and headed over the weekend to Washington.
"We're getting the contract [sorted out], and then working my way up to get a starting role, obviously," Steres told ESPN Los Angeles after the Fusion's 2-1 victory Friday evening over Orange County Blue Star. "Sounds like they're excited to have me come in. I'm excited to go in."
Steres, probably a center back or right back in MLS, lost out in numbers games during preseason at Chivas and, after his release by the Goats, in Seattle. He's been superb for the Fusion, bolstering the backline next to Mickey Daly (Cal State L.A.) or Tim Pontius (Yorba Linda/Servite HS and UC Santa Barbara) or teaming with former Chivas USA/Portland Timbers midfielder Rodrigo Lopez (Santa Barbara/Santa Barbara HS) in central midfield.
The Fusion (6-1-1) are atop the Southwest Division after rallying for a 2-1 win against Blue Star at Concordia University. Travis Bowen (Van Nuys/Chatsworth HS), the older brother of Chivas USA forward Tristan Bowen, scored both goals -- his fourth and division-best fifth of the season -- with the winner coming in the 76th minute.
Ventura is one point ahead of FC Tucson, which visits the Fusion next weekend.
Pontius, the younger brother of D.C. United midfielder Chris Pontius, also is getting some MLS attention. The big center back, a Sounders draft pick, has been in camp the past week with the Galaxy. He says playing with the Fusion has helped prepare him.
"College is one thing," he said. "College prepares you for the next step. This is kind of the in-between phase between college and pros. You've got a lot of players here who can make the next step."
He said his time with Sounders in preseason was "spectacular."
"Unfortunately, it didn't work out for me, but at the end, I gained a lot of experience out of that opportunity," Pontius said. "Spots were tight there, so there's only so much you can do. You play your game, if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. You try the next one."
Elsewhere in minor-league soccer:
COLLEGE: Men's all-conference teams
In the Big West Conference, UC Irvine's Miguel Ibarra (Lancaster/Lancaster HS) and UC Riverside's Cesar Diaz Pizarro (Chino/Ayala HS) were co-Offensive Players of the Year. UCI's Andrew Fontein was honored as top goalkeeper, and Riverside's Nat Gonzalez was Coach of the Year. UC Santa Barbara's Luis Silva (Los Angeles/Salesian HS) won Midfielder of the Year honors, and James Kiffe was the best defender.
California Collegiate Athletic Association champion Cal State L.A. dominated the league's awards, with UC Santa Barbara transfer Taylor Rivas (Lancaster/Lancaster HS) winning for Most Valuable Defensive Player, Rosario Bras for Newcomer of the Year and Chris Chamides as Coach of the Year. Cal Poly Pomona star Luis Gonzalez (Long Beach/Millikan HS and Cerritos College) was the Most Valuable Offensive Player.
Redlands' Cody Carlson (Burbank/Burbank HS) is the Southern California Collegiate Athletic Conference Athlete of the Year.
Here are all of the local men's all-conference teams:
COLLEGE: Link lifts L.B. past Waves
MALIBU -- Nadia Link has netted some wonderful goals this season, but few as sweet -- and none as important -- as her bending blast Saturday afternoon at Pepperdine.
Link fired into the far corner of the net with 13 seconds to go in the first overtime period to lift Long Beach State to a 1-0 triumph over the seventh-ranked Waves in an NCAA Division I tournament opener.
It was the first NCAA victory in 49ers history, and the first over a top-10 opponent, and it was product on Link's twisting shot and five big saves by goalkeeper Kaitlyn Gustaves.
"That's seven years of work -- seven and a half years ...," said Long Beach State coach Mauricio Ingrassia, who has the 49ers in the NCAA tournament for the third time in four years. "We had a couple of injuries [when we lost in the first round to San Diego] in '08. And last year we played our best game of the year against Santa Clara, but [their goalkeeper] had the game of her life. This year we felt we had the experience. It would have been very painful to be 0-3 in the tournament without scoring a goal."
The goal was a beauty. Link (Rowland Heights/Walnut HS) received a pass from midfielder Sidney Garza (Ventura /Buena HS), took the ball up the left flank, then cut inside along the top of the Waves box, where she found uncommon space.
She's a left-footer, but the shot was on her right, and it twisted away -- "corkscrewed," is how Pepperdine coach Tim Ward put it -- toward the upper-right. Waves goalkeeper Roxanne Barker (Irvine/Woodbridge HS) never had a chance.
"The team was asking why did I wait so long," said Link, who tied the school record with her 16th goal of the season. "I saw the pass coming from Sidney Garza, and all I heard was Mauricio saying, 'Take it down the line!' And I remember thinking, 'That's a long way.' ... It went in, and I don't even remember celebrating. I was too busy crying."
Said Ward: "A moment was going to decide the game, and that moment [belonged to] Nadia Link. ... A great player scored a great goal to beat us."
Link described the odd path of her shot as "the unpredictability of my right foot."
The strike brought a dramatic end to a tight, thrilling clash marked by superb defense in the boxes, with Long Beach State's backline -- especially center back Jordan Nelson (Garden Grove/Pacifica HS and Loyola Marymount) -- doing well to get in the way of shots by Lynn Williams and Laura Cole (Whittier/La Habra HS).
Gustaves (Long Beach/Wilson HS) came up big five times, including a double-save, the second with her foot, on Amanda LeCave after an uncharacteristic giveaway by defender Alex Balcer. The goalkeeper followed up by snagging a long shot by right back Michelle Pao, Pepperdine's most dangerous attacker, then made two diving saves on Williams in the second half.
Long Beach advances to a second-round clash Friday against Miami (10-7-1), a 3-2 winner over Alabama, at UCLA's Drake Stadium.
In other women's action:
- Freshman Kylie McCarthy knocked home a 65th-minute rebound as No. 2 UCLA (16-1-3) scored a 1-0 victory over visiting New Mexico (12-5-4) in an NCAA Division I first-round game. The Bruins limited the Mountain West Conference champion to three shots, just two on target, in a dominant performance en route to a second-round clash Friday in Westwood against San Diego.
NCAA has Redlands-CMS on target
No. 15 Redlands and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps are on target for a fourth meeting this season after both were included in the NCAA men's tournament field announced Monday. If they win their openers Saturday on the Bulldogs' Farguhar Fields, the showdown will be Sunday at 5 p.m.
Claremont (14-5-1) beat Redlands (18-3-1) on penalties to snare the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference tournament title and its automatic NCAA berth, and Bulldogs coach Ralph Perez was happy to see his team's name in the bracket.
"It's the first time that I know of that [the SCIAC] has gotten two teams," said Perez, whose team is unbeaten in 17 games and had a perfect regular-season conference record. "We don't get the kind of respect that we deserve. Last year I thought we should have been in -- we were 13-3-2 and won conference -- so to get in this year, we're ecstatic."
Claremont has beaten Redlands in the conference tournament two years running, although this year's result officially goes into the books as a draw.
"We just happened to hit penalty kicks better than they did ...," said Stags coach Dan Calichman, the former Galaxy captain, whose team lost both league meetings with Redlands. "They had a great year this year, but it's hard to beat a team three times."
The game hinged on an overtime penalty kick, with Claremont goalkepeeper Ricky Doar denying Cody Carlson's would-be winner.
Both schools have work to do to set up another showdown. Redlands opens the tournament against Northwest Conference co-champion Pacific Lutheran (15-3-0), from Tacoma. Claremont faces Chapman (11-4-3), from Orange), in the second game Saturday at Redlands.
COLLEGE: Claremont stuns Redlands on PKs
Claremont-Mudd-Scripps did it again, prevailing at the finish against Redlands to claim the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's automatic berth to the NCAA Division III men's tournament.
The Stags (13-5-2), guided by original Galaxy captain Dan Calichman, outfired regular-season champion Redlands (18-3-1) in a penalty-kick shootout following a 1-1 draw on the road. It's the third straight year Claremont has beaten the Bulldogs in the SCIAC title game.
The teams traded goals 85 seconds apart midway through the second half, and Claremont stayed alive when goalkeeper Ricky Doar saved a penalty kick by Cody Carlson (Burbank/Burbank HS), after Daniel Price (Quartz Hill/Quartz Hill HS) was red-carded, with 2:40 remaining in overtime.
Matej Kustura scored for Redlands, which is No. 14 in the D3 rankings, in the 63rd minute. Eric Bean's header pulled the Stags even in the 64th.
Claremont had a 4-2 edge in the shootout, clinching when Jaison Kimura converted in the fourth couplet.
In other men's action:
- Cal Baptist (13-5-0) won a share of the Pacific West Conference title in its first season at the NCAA Division II level, clinching as Osvaldo Bastida (Anaheim/Katella HS) and Marc Hope scored second-half goals in a 3-1 victory over Dixie State (8-8-2). The Lancers, who went 10-2 to finish even with Hawaii Pacific in PacWest play, are still in their transition period and not eligible for the NCAA tournament, but they will play in the National Christian College Athletic Association tournament.
- Edgar Orozco (Santa Ana/Santa Ana HS, Corona HS and Golden West College) struck twice in the first 16 minutes and No. 13 Concordia (14-3-1) built a three-goal lead in the second half en route to a 4-2 romp over No. 10 Azusa Pacific (12-3-3) in a Golden State Athletic Conference tournament semifinal. UC Santa Barbara transfer Christian Ramirez (Garden Grove/La Quinta HS) had an assist hat trick for the Eagles, who will be home against Biola in the title game next Saturday.
- Cameroonian freshman Collins Egbe scored in the 84th minute and fifth-seeded Biola (12-5-2) topped No. 21 Fresno Pacific (12-6-0), the GSAC regular-season champ, in the tournament semifinals.
Redlands, CMS in SCIAC final
Top-seeded Redlands and No. 2 Claremont-Mudd-Scripps romped to easy victories in Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference men's soccer tournament openers Wednesday night to set up a showdown for a berth in the NCAA Division III championship bracket.
Charles Izydorek (Redlands/Arrowhead Christian Academy) scored his 13th goals of the season just before halftime, then set up Alex Laughton as Redlands (18-3-0) pulled away to a 3-0 victory over visiting Pomona-Pitzer (10-9-0). Cody Carlson (Burbank/Burbank HS) scored his 12th for the Bulldogs, who will be home for Saturday's tournament title game.
Connor Doyle (Hidden Hills/Calabasas HS) scored twice and drew a penalty kick for a third goal to lead Claremont (13-5-1) in a 4-0 rout of Whittier (9-9-0), setting up a rematch of last year's tournament final, won by the Stags.
Redlands, ranked 15th in the Division III poll, won its second successive SCIAC regular-season title, going 12-0 in conference play with two victories over Claremont -- 3-0 at home and 3-1 away.
In other men's action:
- UC Irvine clinched a share of the Big West Conference title when Jesse Vega (Whittier/La Serna HS) quickly answered a UC Davis strike to give visiting Cal State Fullerton (7-6-5) a 1-1 draw. Dan Reese provided a 70th-minute lead for Davis (5-3-1 BWC), which would win a tiebreaker with UCI (6-3-1 BWC) for the top seed in the conference tournament if it beats UC Riverside in its regular-season finale. Vega scored less than three minutes later -- and just 48 seconds after Mark Vasquez (Fullerton/Whittier Christian HS) was red-carded, leaving the Titans a man down. Two more red cards, one for each side, were issued in overtime.
COLLEGE: No. 4 Creighton stops UCI
All-American Ethan Finlay scored a hat trick, and fourth-ranked Creighton overwhelmed No. 7 UC Irvine in a non-conference men's soccer showdown Saturday night in Omaha, Neb.
Finlay provided a fifth-minute lead, then added goals in the 62nd and 88th minutes, each time extending the Bluejays' lead to two goals. Jimmy Turner (Mission Viejo/Mission Viejo HS) headed home a Christopher Santana cross in the 63rd for the Anteaters (12-3-0).
"That's a very, very good opponent. They will do well this year," Creighton coach Elmar Bolowich, whose team notched its second win over a top-10 foe in its past three games, told his school's athletics website. "That's a great win for us. I thought the first half was probably the best half I have seen us play this season."
Creighton (11-2-0) hadn't conceded a goal in its first five home games.
UCIrvine leads the Big West Conference with a 4-1 mark, one game ahead of Cal State Northridge, Cal Poly and UC Davis.
In other men's action:
- Matt Sheldon tallied three minutes into overtime, his second goal of the game, to give UC Davis a 2-1 Big West victory at Cal State Northridge (6-6-1). Edwin Rivas (Los Angeles/Santee Educational Complex) scored in the 79th minute for the Matadors.
- Ben Sperber (Palm Desert/Desert Christian HS) slotted home a loose ball in the 83rd minute as UC Riverside (6-5-2) rallied for a 1-1 Big West draw at Cal State Fullerton (6-5-2). Kevin Venegas (Lakewood/Los Alamitos HS) tallied for the Titans.
UCLA, Stanford in Pac-12 showdown
The top-ranked Cardinal (11-0-1), national runners-up the last two seasons, has won the last four meetings with the Bruins (10-0-1), including a round-of-16 clash in last year's NCAA tournament. They're unbeaten in their last 57 regular-season games, since falling to UCLA on Oct. 31, 2008.
UCLA, which is No. 1 in the RPI and No. 2 in Soccer America's rankings, has used dominant defensive displays while winning its last seven games, five of them by 1-0 scorelines, but its depth in the nets will be tested after senior goalkeeper Chante' Sandiford tore her left Achilles' tendon during training last week. She was the Bruins' starter the past two seasons, but freshman Katelyn Rowland has been in the nets most of this fall.
The Bruins on Friday face California (8-3-1), with Stanford starting the weekend against struggling USC (3-9-0). Cardinal coach Paul Ratcliffe, who played on UCLA's 1990 NCAA men's title-winners, will claim his 200th career victory with his next win.
Ratcliffe, who is from Calabasas, guided St. Mary's for five seasons before taking charge at Stanford in 2003. His teams are 81-4-4 in the past three-plus seasons.
PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Connor Brandt (Temecula/Great Oak HS) turned a 20th-minute takeaway into a goal to lift Cal State Dominguez Hills to a 1-0 victory Friday at San Francisco State. He went one better two days later, with a steal and a chip in overtime to carry the Toros past Cal Poly Pomona, 2-1.
COLLEGE: Hoffman's hat trick carries UCLA
Chandler Hoffman's first collegiate hat trick couldn't have come at a more opportune time.
The junior forward from Alabama netted three goals in 20 minutes of the second half Friday night, carrying UCLA to a 3-2 triumph over No. 6 UC Santa Barbara in a nonconference showdown between big-time soccer rivals that drew 2,965 to the Bruins' Drake Stadium.
UCLA (3-2-1), which is ranked by Soccer America but is not in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America top 25, overcame a first-half deficit as Chandler scored in the 52nd, 68th and 71st minutes, the first two off assists by All-American Kelyn Rowe.
Hoffman, who has seven goals in the Bruins' first six games (after scoring 13 in 13 Premier Development League appearances for Orange County Blue Star this summer), tied a school record by tallying in his fifth successive game.
"It's been really good to find the back of the net," Hoffman said in a video posted on UCLA's athletics web site. "My parents were here tonight, so it's always fun to score when they're here. It's always fun to beat UCSB."
James Kiffe gave the Gauchos (4-1-1) a 35th-minute lead, but UCLA -- with Rowe and Ryan Hollingshead making the difference in midfield -- took command early in the second half. Sam Garza converted a 73rd-minute penalty to cut the deficit to a goal, but Santa Barbara couldn't create chances for an equalizer.
COLLEGE: Fullerton gets physical with Akron
The Titans (1-0-1) took a physical approach to the Labor Day Classic encounter at Cal State Northridge, keeping 11 men behind the ball and committing 28 fouls -- to only seven by Akron -- benefiting from a masterful performance by goalkeeper Trevor Whiddon, who made nine saves.
"We're not going to make excuses. We didn't play our best game today," Akron coach Caleb Porter told his school's athletics website. "But, clearly, Fullerton's game plan was to chop the game up with fouls and be physical and not allow us to get into a rhythm.
"We could be disappointed with the way the game was officiated, but bottom line is we didn't handle [the physical play] very well. To me, we looked like a young team that wasn't ready to deal with a physical team that came to play. Fullerton wanted to rattle us, and in some ways it worked. We have to do better next time."
The Titans, who survived a first-half onslaught and outshot Akron, 12-10, after halftime, nearly scored three times: Roberto Vernaschi hit the left post from distance at the start of the second half, and Zips goalkeeper David Meves was required to make two big saves. Fullerton cleared a Scott Caldwell shot off the goal line in the 29th minute.
UNLV beat Cal State Northridge, 2-1, in the second game on Jonny Espinoza's overtime goal. Edwin Rivas (Los Angeles/Santee Education Complex) had pulled the Matadors (1-1-0) even in the 79th minute.
CSUN (1-1-0) meets Akron (1-0-1) in Saturday's tournament finale at 7 p.m.

Windows 8
Perhaps the hottest item of many on display at Intel's huge booth at CES 2014 was a relatively non-descript convertible laptop from Asus. The unique selling point for this touchscreen system, dubbed the Transformer Book Duet, is that it not only runs Windows 8.1 but can also switch over to an Android 4.2.2 mode with just a few clicks or taps.

How to keep the Windows 8.1 Modern UI out of your way
The Metro interface in Windows 8.1 makes sense on a touch-enabled device, but on a traditional computer, it's only an afterthought. In the first iteration of Windows 8, it was hard to get around on the desktop without the Start screen, hot corners, app switcher bar and other elements of the touch interface getting in your way. Windows 8.1 has been improved and includes features that let you boot directly to the desktop and keep Metro elements out of your way. If you prefer to stay on the traditional desktop as much as possible, here's a look at how to do it. Read More

Last year's Windows 8 launch was accompanied by a slew of new Ultrabooks, tablets, and hybrid convertibles. Out of that bunch, one of the most interesting has been Lenovo's series of Yoga PCs. Like a yoga instructor, the Yoga PC bends, stretches, and flips into several different poses. If you've been eyeing that form factor but haven't yet pulled the trigger, then you might want to know that Lenovo just announced its first proper follow-up, the Yoga 2 Pro. Read More
Coming to grips with Windows 8.1: Tips and tricks
When Windows 8 was released last October it didn't receive a lot of fanfare. But this year Microsoft is making several changes to the operating system with version 8.1 and a lot of them are for the better. While it's not a complete overhaul, there are some subtle changes that should make it easier for new users to learn and use. Here's a look at some tips and tricks for using new features in Windows 8.1. Read More
One of the more annoying behaviors in Windows 8 and 8.1 is that all of your files are set to open in native Metro-style apps. For instance, if you're working on the desktop and view a picture or PDF, it opens full screen in the associated app. If you're working on a traditional computer without a touchscreen, this is frustrating to say the least. Especially if you're on a laptop with a single screen. Here's how to take control of your Windows 8 system and make your files open in the desktop programs you want them to. Read More

From the Publisher
"Marienthal is a study of the effects of unemployment on community structure and community life. . . . In February I93o the looms of the textile factory in Marienthal were finally stopped: three-quarters of the 478 families in the village thus became dependent on unemployment benefits for their existence. Subsequently, in the latter part of 1931 a team of psychologists, concerned with the application of psychology to social and economic problems, began an intensive investigation into the consequences of long-term unemployment on the lives of the people of this Austrian village. . . . There cannot be many empirical studies of this nature that merit translation and re-publication forty years after their initial appearance. Marienthal is an exception."
—Gavin Mackenzie, The British Journal of Sociology
"Austria in 1930 was gripped by a depression much worse than anything we were ever to know. A sociologically oriented group attached to the Institute of Psychology at the University of Vienna moved at the time to study a closed rural community so as to better understand the various, ill-understood effects of unemployment. . . . [A] compliment: we should not have had to wait 40 years for the writers to finally authorize a translation and seek its publication."
—Arthur Shostak, Social Forces
"Jahoda, Lazarsfeld, and Zeise. . . started the study of unemployment just when it was becoming a problem of the whole western industrial world; they moved from little, but sophisticated, Austria at a crucial moment; with singular enterprise and ingenuity they become leaders in the new survey movement of that part of the world which joins the highest level of material consumption of goods and services with some of the world's most stubborn and tragic unemployment and poverty, a kind of ironically affluent unemployment and poverty when compared with that of most of the world's population. . . . Their small book is one of the crucial documents in the career of modern empirical social science (with plenty of implication for the more theoretical as well); also it was a step in three notable personal careers in our field."
—Everett C. Hughes, Contemporary Sociology
"What happens to people as personalities, as family members, as friends, as neighbors, etc., while experiencing the increasing pressures of impoverishment? These are questions that are as relevant today for impoverished communities throughout the world as they were in 1931-32 for a small Austrian community."
—Anthony L. Laruffa, American Anthropologist

The concern is over the disease forming on Impatiens wallerana.
LITCHFIELD, Mich. – Downy Mildew disease on Impatiens wallerana is increasingly a concern for greenhouse growers, and the evidence is indicating that growers need to take this disease seriously.
To help grower customers battle this devastating disease, Raker has initiated a preventative disease control program. All Raker Impatiens wallerana will be treated preventatively prior to shipment for the disease, and growers can be assured their product will be protected when they receive it. Growers are strongly advised to continue a preventative program as part of their production plan.
There are many articles available online that give specific information about the identification, transmission, and factors that increase/decrease the probability of infection. In addition, there is good advice on preventative programs to use. Below are two recent references:

With the United States Supreme Court's decision on healthcare expected to come on Thursday, Missouri Governor Jay Nixon broke with his party on Monday over a key part of the legislation.
Speaking with reporters in St. Louis, Governor Nixon sounded more like a Republican when asked about the impending decision.
Referring to the Affordable Care Act as the "Washington Healthcare Law" Nixon spoke out against the key ingredient of President Obama's signature legislation—the so-called individual mandate requiring people to purchase health insurance.
Missouri has received a federal grant of close to $21 million to help build an online health insurance exchange.

Walter Investment Management Corp. Completes Acquisition Of Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc.
TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Walter Investment Management Corp. (NYSE MKT: WAC) ("Walter Investment" or the "Company") today announced it has completed its previously announced acquisition of Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. ("RMS").
RMS, based in Spring, Texas, provides a full suite of services to the reverse mortgage sector, including servicing, loan origination, securitization and technology. RMS currently services approximately $12.4 billion in UPB of reverse mortgages and has issued approximately $1.8 billion of reverse mortgage backed GNMA securities ("HMBS") to date, ranking it as the fourth largest reverse mortgage servicer and largest issuer of HMBS in the sector this year. The acquisition of RMS positions Walter Investment as a full service leader in the $140 billion reverse mortgage servicing sector with sustainable growth opportunities in the servicing business, as well as strong earnings and cash flow driven by a highly successful originations business. The acquisition represents an attractive extension to Walter Investment's high-margin, fee for service business model.
Mark J. O'Brien, Chairman and CEO of Walter Investment said, "We are extremely pleased to have completed the acquisition of RMS, further enhancing our capital-efficient, high-margin, fee for service business model. RMS is an industry leader in all facets of the reverse mortgage space and continues to deliver strong financial and operational performance. Importantly, we look forward to combining the deeply experienced RMS team with the existing Walter Investment team to leverage the combined talents of both organizations."
"The acquisition of RMS creates a natural extension of our forward platform into the reverse mortgage space and will allow us to capitalize on the customer overlap between the two entities," continued Mr. O'Brien. "We believe the reverse mortgage product has significant potential for future growth, and RMS is well positioned to capitalize on the coming opportunities. We anticipate RMS will continue to be highly successful and will drive increased value for our shareholders."

Hi guys,
during the dialog with the bedding in the parmacy I pressed start on my xbox controller (hoping to skip the scene because I watched it already) and the pause menu came up providing me with four choices.
Either one of them just started episode one anew (resume,options,main menu,exit game; all of them).
I'm pretty pissed right now because I would have to play the game again up to the point and I don't want that to happen again. Please do not flame for not searching for a a solution first because I am not in the mood to do that right now.
Is there any way to get configure me a saved game that I could have had up to that point? I am playing on Win7 64bit.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SubtleData™ Inc.(www.subtledata.com), the company that connects mobile applications to Point of Sale (POS) systems, has been selected by appMobi to provide critical point of sale integration to its mobile cross platform app development ecosystem. By accessing the SubtleData API (www.subtledata.com/appmobi), app developers will now be able to easily integrate their mobile apps with many leading point of sale systems.
"Mobile devices present an amazing opportunity for automating retail and hospitality functions, but building a mobile app that works with just one Point of Sale system is time consuming and expensive for even the most seasoned developer," said Sam Abadir, CTO and Founder of appMobi. "By combining SubtleData's API with appMobi's HTML5 tools we've made it easy for a developer to create mobile ordering, loyalty, couponless offers, and mobile payment applications that address a wide variety of devices and point of sale systems with a single code base."
With hundreds of Point of Sale companies in the U.S., the process of developing mobile applications that interact with bar, restaurant, hotel, or retail store systems is incredibly complex and time-consuming. SubtleData created a write-once and deploy-to-many platform to make it simple to build this class of application.
"Merchants have been left behind in the mobile revolution because point of sale integration is so difficult," said Bryan Menell, CEO of SubtleData. "Now that we've made it cheap and easy, I expect that appMobi's developer community will create a whole new class of applications."
About SubtleData
SubtleData is the world's leading Platform for Point of Sale apps. SubtleData designs, develops, and manages Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that connect mobile devices to the majority of existing Point of Sale systems in a platform-as-a-service environment. This provides application developers with a write-once, deploy-many platform that saves them money, reduces their time to market, simplifies their system integration effort across a wide range of Point of Sale systems, and expands their potential customer base. The company continues to add support for new POS systems and versions within those POS systems.
To develop on the SubtleData platform, simply register for a free developer account at https://www.subtledata.com/appmobi.

About appMobi

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

The Internet of Things is a misnomer. That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker. The mesh of things that we manage must be segmented into zones of trust for sensing data, transmitting data, receiving command and control administrative changes, and peer-to-peer mesh messaging. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Ryan Bagnulo, Solution Architect / Software Engineer at SOA Software, focused on desi...

(Information provided by the Board of Trustees)
1. Auckland Grammar School is a renowned school of distinct character and achievement with strong links to a widespread and diverse community which has supported the School for 137 years.
2. Its founding legal document was the Auckland Grammar School Appropriation Act 1868 and its founding Charter dates back even further to the Sir George Grey Trust Deed of 1850 which, amongst other significant characteristics, stated that "persons of all classes or races who may inhabit this colony are to be in all respects equally admitted..."
3. As befits a Grammar School, the Deed also stressed the need for the widespread teaching of languages and, in particular, "instruction in Latin".
4. The current approved Charter of the School has built on those special characteristics of Auckland Grammar School by recognising that:
"The School community cannot be defined in geographical terms. It is characterised not only by those boys and their guardians who live in the local community, but also by others deriving from the wider New Zealand region and overseas. It also includes as vital components Staff, Friends and Old Boys of the School who are widely distributed throughout the community and the world".
5. In addition, the Charter of Auckland Grammar School emphasises the following unique factors that contribute to the renowned character of Auckland Grammar School, namely:
(a) Auckland Grammar School will continue to provide State secondary education from Form Three to Form Seven for boys only, recognising the preference and indeed imperative requirement for single-sex education by the School community.
(b) Auckland Grammar School will continue to provide boys with a rigorous academic education. Each boy is expected to pursue excellence in acquiring the knowledge and skills and the sense of values which the School has always provided.
(c) The School will insist on the pursuit of all-round excellence in academic, sporting and cultural activities, encouraging each boy to recognise and develop his individual potential to the full and to gain pride and satisfaction through setting demanding personal goals and striving to attain them.
6. Two other facts are also relevant in determining that character of our Enrolment Scheme:
(a) The geographic location of Auckland Grammar School in the centre of the city and with easy access to main transportation routes and a variety of forms of transport.
(b) The fact that Auckland Grammar School is the only State boys' school on the Auckland Isthmus, the result being that the demand for entry to the School by parents seeking a quality single sex education for their sons is enormous and is perhaps exceeded by no other school in the country.
7. The character of the Enrolment Scheme for the 2001 school year does however differ from the enrolment schemes of the School during the past decade. Those earlier enrolment schemes did not impose any street-by-street zone but instead recognised the sphere of influence which the School primarily serves. That sphere resulted in the composition of the School being wide-ranging in terms of race and socio-economic background - a composition which reflected not only the provisions of the Sir George Grey Trust Deed but also the diversity of the population of the Auckland Isthmus. The practical effect of the enactment of the Education Amendment Act 2000, which amended the enrolment scheme provisions of the Education Act 1989, has been to put an end to the sphere of influence. In terms of s.28(2) of the Education Amendment Act 2000 the Ministry could have exercised its discretion so as to permit the School's sphere of influence to continue for the 2001 enrolment year, subject to a system of balloting for applicants from outside that sphere. The Ministry however chose not to adopt that course. Instead the Ministry gave statutory notice to the School under s.28(3) of the Education Amendment Act 2000 requiring the School to introduce a street-by-street home zone with associated balloting for out-of-zone applicants.
8. In order to preserve as far as practicably possible the notable characteristic of the composition of the School, the home zone prescribed in the Enrolment Scheme for 2001 generally reflects that sphere of influence which the School has traditionally served. It is acknowledged with real regret however that the likely effect of the amended statutory regime for enrolment schemes is to diminish to some extent that former wide-ranging racial and socio-economic composition of the School. The past experience of the School with a home zone indicates that rather than face the risk of a ballot system, increasing numbers of parents will choose to live in the home zone in an attempt to ensure that their sons have an entitlement to enrol at the School; that process is likely to result in increased residential property values in the zone, thereby reducing the socio-economic range served by the sphere of influence.

Rather than going crazy while being stalked by a bunch of photographers taking worthless photos of them walking down the street, Emma Watson and Andrew Garfield take advantage of the situation by promoting some of their favorite websites:
Good morning! We were eating and saw a group of guys with cameras outside. And so we thought, let's try this again. We don't need the attention, but these wonderful organizations do:

(and don't forget:)

Here's to the stuff that matters. Have a great day!

What else are you going to do when the paparazzi are snapping pics? Why not do a little sight seeing?

Great location for staying in Jerusalem. There was a mini concert every night in Zion Square and our room was just above it. Individual musicians played and very well. Had heard it was noisy but if this is what someone calls noisy they don't like music. Khen at reception was absolutely the best. Anything we needed to know she helped us find out. I would like to see the owner bring back the original floors. It is an old historic building and they should take advantage of that. loved it

Awesome location, awesome people. They even provide a light breakfast. The location is amazing considering how affordable it is. The front door is locked at all times the only security issue was there are no individual lockers. But they do have a safe if you need any valuables locked away during your stay. They also let you store your luggage there after checkout. I would definately recommend this place and will be back on my next visit.

Human beings can't live without the illusion of meaning, the apprehension of confluence, the endless debate concerning the fault in the stars or in ourselves. The writer is just the messenger, the moving target. Inside culture, the writer is the talking self. Through history, the writing that lasts is the whisper of conscience. The guild of writers is essentially a medieval guild existing in a continual Dark Age, shaman, monks, witches, nuns, working in isolation, playing with fire.When the first illuminated manuscripts were created, few people could read. Now that people are bombarded with image and information and the World Wide Web is an open vein, few people can read. Reading with sustained attention, reading for understanding, reading to cut through random meaninglessness - such reading becomes a subversive act. The writer's first affinity is not to a loyalty, a tradition, a morality, a religion, but to life itself, and to its representation in language. Ego enters in, but writing is far too hard and solitary to be sustained by ego. The writer is compelled to write. The writer writes for love. The writer lives in spiritual debt to language, the gold key in the palm of meaning. Awake, asleep, in every moment of being, the writer stands at the gate.The gate may open.The gate may not.Regardless, the writer can see straight through it.
Jayne Phillips

Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heart-ache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, to discover what is already there.
Henry Miller (1891 - 1980)
It is not the poet's business to save man's soul but to make it worth saving . . . However, few poets have written with a clear theory of art for art's sake, it is by that theory alone that their work has been, or can be, judged; -and rightly so if we remember that art embraces all life and all humanity, and sees in the temporary and fleeting doctrines of conservative or revolutionary only the human grandeur or passion that inspires them.
James Flecker
The process of writing can be a powerful tool for self-discovery. Writing demands self-knowledge; it forces the writer to become a student of human nature, to pay attention to his experience, to understand the nature of experience itself. By delving into raw experience and distilling it into a work of art, the writer is engaging in the heart and soul of philosophy - making sense out of life.
Georg Buehler
Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life; they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It's like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can't stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.
Anne Lamott
You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
Ray Bradbury (1920 -)
Nobody will stop you from creating. Do it tonight. Do it tomorrow. That is the way to make your soul grow - whether there is a market for it or not! The kick of creation is the act of creating, not anything that happens afterward. I would tell all of you watching this screen: Before you go to bed, write a four line poem. Make it as good as you can. Don't show it to anybody. Put it where nobody will find it. And you will discover that you have your reward.
Kurt Vonnegut (1922 -)
The act of writing bears something in common with the act of love. The writer, at his most productive moments, just flows. He gives of that which is uniquely himself. He makes himself naked, recording his nakedness in the written word. Herein lies some of the terror which frequently freezes a writer, preventing him from producing. Herein, too, lies some of the courage that must be entailed in letting others learn how one has experienced or is experiencing the world.
Sidney Jourard
Always dream and shoot higher than you know you can do. Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself. An artist is a creature driven by demons. He doesn't know why they choose him and he's usually too busy to wonder why. He is completely amoral in that he will rob, borrow, beg, or steal from anybody and everybody to get the work done. The writer's only responsibility is to his art.
William Faulkner (1897 - 1962)
Well, I wanted to be a philosopher, which is the idlest occupation in the world. I wanted to be involved in abstract thought, but because of various problems with the authorities I wasn't able to pull that one off. A lifetime of idleness in academia would have really suited me. So I was thrown out, as it were. Other than that, there seemed no possible idle occupations, so writing . . . although writing isn't exactly idleness. There's an enormous tension between indolence and languor.

do by now I found some of candidates for it
uint64_t A;
long long a;
int64 a;
__int64 a;
what should be used ? is there a chance that some implementation of above arthimetic is better/faster than other?
