KPMG ADMINISTRATORS are to arrange a pre-pack administration of struggling sportswear retailer JJB sports.
Brian Green, David Costley-Wood and Richard Fleming (pictured), partners at KPMG, will be appointed as joint administrators this week.
Further reading
According to a company announcement by the listed retailer, JJB is in final discussions to enter the business into an administration process with a sale to take place very shortly after.
A statement today from JJB said: "It is expected that the process to commence the appointment of administrators of the company and certain of its subsidiaries will begin today, although the actual appointments are only likely to take effect just before the completion of any such sale."
The company announced on 30 August that it was beginning a formal process to find a buyer, with the company in discussions with several businesses which have now submitted their final offers.
However, the offers are for the trade, assets and brands of the business and not the shares, with the statement informing shareholders that they are unlikely to realise any value in the administration.
In February last year, KPMG organised a second company voluntary arrangement (CVA) at the company in less than two years. In a CVA, an insolvency practitioner consolidates the debts of the business and arranges a repayment deal. In order for the deal to be approved, 75% of creditors, by value of debt, must vote in favour of the proposals and the practitioner will supervise repayments.
JJB, which has struggled since the start of the downturn in 2008, entered into a CVA in 2009.
The retailer has about 180 stores nationwide and employs about 4,000 full- and part-time staff.
Earlier this month, it was reported that the company was under investigation by HM Revenue & Customs for accounting errors relating to VAT mistakes.
The taxman was looking into allegations that the company wrongly charged VAT on children's clothing which is usually zero-rated.

Aleppo Artillery School massacre
|Aleppo Artillery School massacre
|Part of Islamist uprising in Syria
|Aleppo, Syria
|16 June 1979
|Syrian Army cadets
Attack type
|Ibrahim el-Youssef, Adnan Uqla, Syrian Muslim Brotherhood
The Aleppo Artillery School massacre was a massacre of Syrian Army cadets by members of the Muslim Brotherhood, which was part of the Islamist uprising in Syria, 1976–1982.
Course of Events[edit]
The massacre occurred on June 16, 1979, in the el-Ramouseh district of the city of Aleppo, Syria. An officer on duty, Ibrahim el-Youssef, and members of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood calling themselves the Fighting Vanguard (Attali'a el-Moukatillah) and led by Adnan Uqla, massacred between 50 and 83 Alawi cadets in the Aleppo Artillery School.[1][2][dead link][3] The incident marked the beginning of full scale urban warfare of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood against that ruling Alawites.[4]
On June 22, the Syrian interior minister, Adnan al-Dabbagh, accused the Muslim Brotherhood of the massacre. Although the principal targets were members of the Alawite sect, the Syrian Minister of Information, Ahmad Iskander Ahmad, stated that the murdered cadets also included Christians and Sunni Muslims.[5][unreliable source?] In a statement distributed on June 24, the Muslim Brotherhood organization denied that it had any prior knowledge of the massacre nor involvement in it.[5][unreliable source?] It also accused the Syrian government, then led by the Alawite President Hafez al-Assad, of trying to tarnish the image of the Muslim Brotherhood, speculatively because it was influential among the Syrian public.
The Syrian government responded by sentencing to death an estimated 15 prisoners belonging to the Islamic resistance movement, all of whom were accused of being Iraqi agents. Following the massacre, terrorist attacks became almost a daily occurrence, particularly in Aleppo and other northern cities. The government usually attributed these attacks to the Muslim Brotherhood, but as the armed resistance gained wider popular support and other, loosely defined, armed groups appeared, it became difficult to determine the extent of the Brotherhood's involvement.[6]

Every day this week and up til Memorial Day, we'll share a favorite military quote on our Facebook fan page and ask you to do the same.
Today's quote:
"Yesterday, December 7th, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attached by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.
…No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people, in their righteous might, will win through to absolute victory. I believe that I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make it very certain that this form of treachery shall never again endanger us.
…Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph. So help us G-d." Franklin D. Roosevelt

Laidou Group
The business of the women of the Laidou group is highly solicited. They are known through family and as neighbors.
With the goal of meeting the demands of their growing clientele, they came together 2 years ago as a group to request a loan from Soro Yiriwaso. They are on their third loan cycle as a group.
Badjui M. plans on investing her loan in the purchase of 3 tons of peanuts in the small villages in Tene from the producers, especially at this time when it is the harvest season and the prices are affordable. She resells in Tene and in several country fairs, completing her sales in credit and cash. Her client base is the general consumer.
She expects to earn a monthly income of 21000 FCFA and it will allow her to repay the loan and to reinvest back into her business.
Les femmes du groupe LAIDOU sont très sollicitées dans leurs activités et se sont connues à travers des liens de parenté et de voisinage
Dans le souci de satisfaire le besoin croissant de leur clientèle, le groupe a décidé d'intégrer le programme crédit de Soro Yiriwaso il y a 2 ans. Elles sont à leurs troisièmes prêts de groupe.
BADJI M. compte utiliser son prêt pour acheter 3 tonnes d'arachide dans les petits villages de TENE auprès des producteurs surtout en cette période de récolte aux prix abordables. Elle revend à TENE et dans beaucoup de foires environnantes en détail et au comptant à une clientèle composée de consommateurs.
Elle espère sur un bénéfice mensuel de 21000 FCFA somme qui lui permettra de rembourser le prêt et de réinvestir dans son activité.
Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Well, I've researched a lot and have come to a basic conclusion on APIs: as it seems the API choice for learning doesn't matter that much, as long as you can really learn 3D programming, or so it seems.
My background/current fields of study: I have a sort of solid background on programming, algorithms and object oriented designs.
I have made a few 2D games: using XNA(C#) and allegro 5(C++), I even wrote a sort of small framework for a few 2D games I had to make for a course (using allegro) to speed up my game making process, so I am quite familiar with the basic concepts of game logic and game loop structure.
I have made a very few experiments with 3D using XNA, just got the basic idea actually.
I have a basic, but solid, knowledge on Linear Algebra and Calculus.
I am currently studying Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning (to be more specific, in case anyone wants to know: rules extraction for relational databases using Markov Logic for a reading system), doing some research in this field right now.
Well, I love games and have a lot of fun with game programming especially AI and game logic.
I want to move to 3D game development now, and even though I don't really want to work too much on the graphics programming and stuff, I want to have the knowledge (well, I'd like to know what's going on and how to take advantage of that: if I want to write some good AI for 3D environments I need to have a good idea of how to deal with it).
I just started (today) reading the examples and documentation of Direct3D (9 and 11) from what I've read if I'm going to learn DirectX I should go for 11 if low-hardware compatibility and XP users aren't my goals.
I'd like your opinion on whether I should use DirectX or something like SDL/OpenGL/OpenAL I have nothing against none I just want to know which would be better for someone who wants to focus on some new AI for games and game logic. I will be using C++/Python for the games, some C#/XML for some tools and such. Well I'm basically going to be developing stuff in/for a windows environment (nothing against linux or something - I use linux for some of my AI research for some of the software I use).
Well I hope I made my question clear, and thanks in advance to anyone willing to help.

C. Hollis
Lyric Meaning
Hollis is better known as one of the best producers in the rap game, Hit-Boy. He speaks on the track here:
I met Kendrick in New York at SOBs a couple years ago. He had just started getting a buzz. We chopped it up a little bit but we just kept building from there. Then he ended up signing to Interscope, and I have an in with some people over there, so they always wanted me to work with him.
We had this other record down that we did last year. We went out to Vegas and vibed and I just thought he was going to be using that joint. He was like he couldn't get the hook right in his mind, so that song got deaded.
It's a turnt-up joint with energy. That's what I'm getting known for with records like 'Niggas In Paris,' 'Clique,' and 'Cold,' having that energy and that youthfulness to my sound. My goal is always to bring the super-producer era back. I feel like I'm one of the few people who really cares about everything from my style to how I dress to my social networking. The kids really look up to what I'm doing and I got to hold up to that.

Japan's 2014 FIFA World Cup™ captain Makoto Hasebe has pulled out of Friday's home friendly against Uruguay because of a knee injury, officials said on Thursday.
The 30-year-old, who played through the pain barrier at the World Cup with an injury to his right knee, left Japan's training camp in Sapporo to return to his German club Eintracht Frankfurt after consulting with team doctors.
"I deeply apologise to the team," Hasebe told local media, adding that he had felt a twinge in his left knee during a Bundesliga game last weekend.
"I spoke with the coach (Javier Aguirre) and the medical staff and we decided I would not be able to play at 100 per cent. It's a big disappointment."
Japan face Uruguay on Friday in their first game under Mexican Aguirre, who replaced Italian Alberto Zaccheroni following the side's meek exit from the World Cup in Brazil. He is yet to name his captain for the game.
Uruguay, who will be without controversial Barcelona striker Luis Suarez, said that Jorge Fucile, Jonathan Rodriguez and Sebastian Coates had withdrawn from their squad through injury.
Asian champions Japan take on Venezuela in Yokohama on 9 September in another friendly and will play a further four matches, including a glamour game against Brazil in Singapore next month, before they open the defence of their AFC Asian Cup title in January.

- @Eat_Sleep_TV
- August 5, 2014
Hey, remember that time in 2012 when Taylor Kitsch was poised to become the next great Hollywood leading man? And then he saw two $200M+ films tank in the span of two months and was flung into the depths of Failed Leading Man Hell to rot for all eternity? It turns...
'Lone Survivor' Review: Peter Berg's Latest Is a Major Comeback
- By Jack Giroux
- @JackGi
- January 9, 2014
Editor's note: Our review of Lone Survivor originally ran during last year's AFI Fest, but we're re-posting it now as the film opens tomorrow in wide release. Director Peter Berg made a massive misstep with 2012's Battleship. There was a decent ninety-minute popcorn movie buried underneath all the bloat, but worst of all, it...

This could have been the year that Taylor Kitsch became one of the biggest working actors on the planet. He already had a cult following for playing the dreamboat, bad boy role on TV's Friday Night Lights coming into 2012, and that was before two of the biggest studios in...
Review: 'Savages' Adds Much Needed Brutality and Del Toro Mustache-Twirling to the Summer
- By Jack Giroux
- @JackGi
- July 3, 2012
It's tough trying to figure which side of Oliver Stone's career Savages would fall under. Part of the director's output is fueled by an angry that's always unafraid to show people at their ugliest. Then there's another side, which we've seen these past few years, that's much softer. While Stone's recent work...

With what is being called a massive failure at the box office, pulling in just $25 million domestic dollars (or 12% of its budget), Peter Berg's Battleship is sinking, but not before firing a warning shot across the bow of stupid ideas. And by a "warning shot across the bow" I...

Anti-Film School Director Peter Berg Wanted Authenticity From His 'Battleship'
- By Jack Giroux
- @JackGi
- May 18, 2012
When a "loose" adaptation of Hasbro's iconic board game Battleship was announced, it didn't take a genius to figure out what type of film was in the making: big, loud, manic summer fun. The man to deliver on that promise was none other than Peter Berg, a director whose filmography ranges...
'Battleship' Review: An Asylum Movie With 200 Million Dollars Worth of Gloss
On December 7, 1941, the naval base at Pearl Harbor was attacked by 353 Japanese planes. It was a day that lives in infamy, but now director Peter Berg has reconciled the Americans and Japanese (finally!) in the dumbest, broadest, most pointlessly explosive way possible with Battleship. This obnoxious chore...

If Castaway was not romantic enough for you (and, really, how could it be? Tom Hanks never really loved that volleyball) and Lifetime's take on The Blue Lagoon is too been-there, done-that for your tastes, MGM and Temple Hill Productions just might have something to rattle your palm tree. The...

New 'Battleship' Trailer Shows Off Huge Action While Iron Man Battles the Transformers

Look, Battleship will probably end up proving that it has at least a few original ideas in its head. Someone out there has to have shoved in one or two scenes that don't look exactly like other movies, but the trailers certainly aren't out to prove that. Nevertheless, it's time...

Third-quarter earnings season has arrived with a vengeance. In less than 24 hours, we've heard from tech heavyweights Apple (AAPL) and Texas Instruments (TXN), as well as five components of the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU). Mr. Market appears to be ignoring the mostly better news coming out of these bellwethers Tuesday, focusing instead on the latest batch of disappointing housing data.
To help investors keep their eyes on the prize of earnings, revenue and outlooks, here's a recap of the biggest names reporting in time for today's trading session:
Good Show: Apple late Monday reported sales and profit that trounced estimates, sending its shares to all-time highs. iPhone and Mac sales hit a record, with Macs sales jumping 17 percent. DailyFinance's Alex Salkever thinks Apple's "easy days could soon be over."
Chip giant Texas Instruments (TXN) may finally be seeing a lasting turnaround in the fortunes of the ailing semiconductor industry. After several quarters of merely getting worse more slowly, end demand for its customers' products is finally rekindling, the company said on a conference call for investors.
Dow component Caterpillar (CAT), which in April reported its first quarterly loss in 17 years, added to the growing optimism about the economy by posting better-than-expected third quarter results Tuesday and forecasting earnings that surpassed even the most bullish estimates.
Mixed Bag: Dow component Pfizer (PFE) on Tuesday posted a higher third-quarter profit despite the recession, as sharp cost cuts made up for slightly lower sales.
Dow component United Technologies (UTX) said Tuesday profit fell 17 percent to $1.06 billion, or $1.14 per share, as the company felt the impact of the downturn in aerospace and commercial real estate markets as key businesses posted declines in the third quarter. The company managed to beat estimates.
Disappointments: Dow component Coca-Cola (KO) said Tuesday its third-quarter profit declined less than one percent, with sales falling as consumers continued to limit soft drink purchases and the stronger dollar took a toll on revenue. Atlanta-based Coca-Cola says revenue slumped to $8.04 billion from $8.39 billion.
Despite weaker sales across the board, Dow component DuPont Co. (DD) Tuesday posted stronger-than-expected earnings for the third quarter, thanks to its aggressive cost-cutting and declining prices for its raw materials.
Earnings scorecard: Good, but good enough?

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced Monday that he will forgo his own federal employer subsidy — one of at least a dozen Senators opting to pay the full cost of their own health insurance.
A new Gallup survey finds that 30 percent of all Americans skip out on medical treatment due to high costs -- a number that rises to nearly 60 percent for the uninsured. The Affordable Care Act has the potential to change that.

The Powerhouse Museum has joined the Commons on Flickr. Drawing on images from the Tyrrell Collection the museum have put a couple of hundred early photographs online. These are significant examples of early Australian photography so its great to see them out in the open. The Powerhouse on Flickr managed to sidetrack me wonderfully for an hour or so! I could not resist this early image of Darling Harbour in Sydney. It's interesting to see the landscape yet to be dressed in some of much loved national icons.

No one expects to get any inside story from the Lillie News.
There are way, way, to many conflicts of interest, I need a flow chart to show you.
They allow themselves to act as stump for the various level of DFL politicians from here.
Reading one of the most recent letters to the Editor. Do we really needy councilman Peterson to thank the city for a wonderful job it did on plowing the snow?
Is that not their job? Should Kudos come from the public? This is in stark contrast to what was said in the last meeting. Have you walked all the sidewalks yourself? NO...
Candy can you get to business of solving our revenue problem rather than "letting everyone" know your on the council. We know that.

Transportation priorities
State Sen. Chuck Wiger
District 55
As the metro area continues to expand and more Minnesotans rely on daily travel for work, school, shopping and entertainment, the transit system needs to improve and expand with it. The Minnesota Department of Transportation has reported that by 2030 the metro region is expected to be home to nearly one million more people than in 2000. This trend will continue to add stress to our transit system and we need to be prepared.
Funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act has made a large impact on transportation throughout the state. In 2010, several projects were completed thanks to the funding, such as the I-694 reconstruction between I-94 and 50th Street in Maplewood and Oakdale, I-94 resurfacing between Highway 280 and Western Avenue in St. Paul and the construction of a new flyover ramp from westbound I-94 to Highway 101 in Rogers.
Mn/DOT recently released their 2011 Metro District Legislative Briefing Book which details needed projects throughout the eight county metro district area. Three projects ready to begin in our area include:
Replacing a lighting system on I-694 at 10th Street in Oakdale
Work on unbonded concrete overlay on I-694 from 40th Street to Highway 61
Rebuilding a traffic signal at the Century College entrance in White Bear Lake
For more information on local projects, visit the Ramsey County website at http://www.co.ramsey.mn.us/pw/index.htm and the Washington County website at http://www.co.washington.mn.us/ (click on "roads and transit").
Reconstruction of Rice Street from County Road B to County Road B-2 is also continuing to make progress. Replacement of the aging Rice Street Bridge and construction of a new interchange will increase safety and lessen congestion. The project is expected to be completed in November 2011.
Another way to invest in our transit system is through a capital investment (bonding) bill. Governor Dayton already released his capital investment plan. He has asked the Legislature to use his suggestions and add some of our own. Two bills I recently introduced for the capital investment bill are designed to improve two interchanges in our district.
The first bill will fund a grant to Ramsey County to complete the design of the interchange of I-694 and White Bear Avenue. The second will be used to complete the design of the interchange of I-694 and Rice Street as well as associated improvements to the through-lanes of I-694 and areas of Rice Street adjacent to the interchange in Ramsey County. Both proposals are getting bipartisan support.
With a Republican led majority in the Senate, these projects will rely on their willingness to invest in a Capital Investment Bill. As in the past, I will work with my colleagues and others to advance these needed improvements.
As always, call me with questions or suggestions as needed. You may also visit my Senate website at senate.mn/senatorwiger.

Donor Families
Make sure to report all births to your sperm bank!
Approximately 75% of all surveyed donor offspring would recommend that parents use a known or willing-to-be-known donor!

Considerations for prospective sperm donors
January 10, 2016 CBS Sunday Morning Show: watch a donor connect with several donor children!
All DSR Media Videos are on the DSR Video Library Page (for members only). Here are some additional videos:
2014: Watch the video webinar we did for the Family Equality Council! Wendy talks about the DSR, who were and why we do what we do, what we have learned over the years, moving the industry forward in a more ethical and responsible manner, and how to create healthy and happy families.
2011: Documentary aired in Fall of 2011 on the Style Network: We worked very hard to make this a thoughtful and thought provoking show. We hope that viewers will be able to consider the perspectives of the offspring, the donors, the parents, the grandparents and the partners of the donors. We hope that people can understand why meeting a half-sister might be important to a donor conceived person. As we all redefine family on the DSR, it's important that those embarking on creating their family in this way, as well the industry, and the public, consider and ponder the issues about how families are redefined through using donor conception. This show was nominated for an Emmy in 2011. Click here to watch!

My brother Jason and I have the same donor and were born 8 months apart. He found my DSR profile on New Year's Day of 2014, and we met each other in person shortly after.

2014: Kansas City Star: Donor 11 Gave me my son and changed my life (written by a DSR mom).
Exerpt: That was the day I learned about the Donor Sibling Registry (DSR), an online resource for donor offspring, parents of donor offspring and donors themselves. As soon as I finished reading the article, I walked toward my computer. Eddie was outside shoveling snow.
One tentative click, and I was on the site. I entered the name of the sperm bank and the number of our donor. Part of me hoped Number 11 had also read the article, had walked over to his computer, taken a great, trembling breath and revealed who he was.
"Happy Mother" had apparently just put down her copy of the New York Times and added Number 11 to the registry, sharing a donor profile that was identical to the one we had. She noted that her donor-conceived son was 12 years old, and she was looking for possible half-siblings.
I could hear the scraping of Eddie's shovel on the sidewalk. I could hear a song by Phish drifting from Max's bedroom. I tried to keep my hands from shaking as I began to type. Hello! I am Photo Mom.
2013: The Hairpin: Interview with a Woman Who Had Two Kids by Anonymous Sperm Donor
"There's a thing called the Donor Sibling Registry, and you can register with your code and share notes and ask things like 'Anyone else suffering from hay fever?' Luckily, most of the other donor families are in the US—all except for one family, who I literally bumped into at the supermarket down the street from my house."
"That's nuts. How'd you recognize them?"
"You can put pictures on the website. But yeah, I'm 20 yards from my front door at Waitrose, and this woman comes up to me and says, 'Are you Maggie?' It turned out that she lived two blocks down from me, and at one point her child was scheduled to go to the same school as mine, in the same class even..."

A Stone of Hope: Prophetic Religion and the Death of Jim Crow
Newman, Mark, The Arkansas Historical Quarterly
A Stone of Hope: Prophetic Religion and the Death of Jim Crow. By David L. Chappell. (Chapel Hill: University of North Carolina Press, 2004. Pp. 344. Introduction, illustrations, conclusion, appendix, notes, sources, bibliographic essay, acknowledgments, index. $34.95.)
In A Stone of Hope, David L. Chappell argues that religion provided many participants in the civil rights movement with the inspiration and hope necessary to initiate and sustain the struggle despite seemingly overpowering odds. Although southern whites overwhelmingly favored segregation, they divided over how best to preserve it and lacked the overriding commitment to the cause that civil rights activists showed to theirs. Many civil rights participants believed that God was working through the movement, and so, for them, religion legitimized the struggle. However, their white opponents found no religious support for Jim Crow from the leaders of the major white denominations, little from their clergymen, and only a small amount from a divided white laity. While religion had helped legitimize slavery and the Confederate cause among most white southerners during the Civil War, it did not provide a rationale or inspiration for preserving Jim Crow a century later, thereby substantially and even fatally weakening the segregationist cause. Based on extensive archival and manuscript research and oral history, Chappell's engagingly written study offers a provocative interpretation of the movement and its opponents.
In the opening chapter, Chappell argues that northern white liberals, hamstrung by their commitment to education, persuasion, and gradualism, achieved little for African-American rights in the 1930s and 1940s. Mistakenly, such liberals expected that the South's economic and educational modernization would lead white southerners to abandon an irrational, obsolete segregationist tradition. Convinced of the power of reason and suasion, liberals lacked the zeal to inspire and lead an equal rights struggle. The alliance between northern liberals and the civil rights movement was essential to overturn legal discrimination in the South, but the movement derived its inspiration from an irrational faith that liberals lacked.
Religion, Chappell argues, inspired many civil rights participants with the assurance to face violence and economic coercion, certain that God was on their side. The movement constituted a religious revival, the nation's Third Great Awakening, replete with participants' claims of miracles, conversion experiences, and God's presence. Like earlier Great Awakenings, the third changed society. Civil rights strategists and leaders lacked the liberals' faith in persuasion. Articulate civil rights leaders, such as Martin Luther King, Jr. …

Customer Reviews
Highly recommended
What I do not understand is that this software is absolutely free, whereas all other iWork apps cost $20. This app here, as I describe it, is what you get when you put together Pages, Keynote, and Numbers, all within a uniform PDF export.
Here's a word of advice:
Before you purchase Numbers (if it's not already on your Mac) try this app first for free. You can copy any chart or graph and paste it into TextEdit or Apache OpenOffice. If you like this app, you can keep it; if not you can just tell MacKeeper to remove it. I think you will like it, but if you don't please don't contact me about it. Send your complaints to Apple.
Fancy, and Only Imports from Pages and Word
I would like to be able to convert pdfs to epubs, so I can read them, on my e-reader, without too much eye strain. I can use Textedit to clear out formatting and [step-by-step] clear out the line breaks. I thought this would let me organize the results into simple readable epubs.
But this is for fancy epubs, and this doesn't import from Textedit, which is the best to clear out formatting, or from LibreOffice, which is my usual word processor, only from Pages or Word. I don't see why I should need one more step in the process: pdf -> txt -> pages or doc -> epub.
I don't know about multitouch. I can't use multitouch with my disabilities, and don't understand why multitouch would have anything to do with e-readers.
One of Apple's Best
This software is amazing and one of the best things Apple ever created. The only drawback is that Windows users cannot use the iBooks that are created, and like it or not, Windows is still the dominant platform (lousy as it is). These work great on the iPad.
Wonderful interface too. Wish Adobe had such elegant and simple interfaces like this. Love this software.
