Please refer to relevant legal information at the end of the document
Luxoft Holding, Inc. (NYSE:LXFT), a member of the IBS Group and a leading provider of software development services and innovative IT solutions to a global client base, today announced the launch of its new delivery centre in Sofia, Bulgaria.
"Demand for Luxoft's engineering services and domain expertise has been steadily increasing. Thus, the current pipeline has prompted us to expand our core presence in Central and Eastern Europe and to continue growing our global delivery model. I am pleased to announce that we have added Sofia, Bulgaria to the list of locations from which we service our clients," said Dmitry Kushnir, VP Global Delivery Locations at Luxoft. "We have conducted extensive analysis with respect to this expansion to ensure the new geography is in the best interest of our clients and complementary to our existing delivery center ecosystem. We believe Bulgaria is a very good fit and Sofia, in particular, has a wealth of technical talent."
Luxoft is currently present in 13 countries around the world, and this new centre becomes its 20th global location. The Sofia office will initially focus on delivering services and solutions for Luxoft's market-leading financial services clients, with the introduction of clients from other verticals in the near future. Luxoft plans for this location to be fully operational by March 1 and expects to grow its office by 400 employees within the first two years.
Sofia has already proved itself as a viable IT destination. Leading global players, such as HP, SAP, VM Ware and Software AG have established their operations in the city. Among many positives this new location brings into Luxoft's global dedicated delivery model are access to a vast talent pool of about 30,000 seasoned IT professionals and over 3,000 graduates per annum, attractive tax regime, robust infrastructure, convenient location, European Union legislation and security environment. Luxoft believes all of these factors will enhance the value it brings to its clients as well as solidify its delivery network in CEE and globally.

As the rapid adoption of containers continues, companies are finding that they lack the operational tools to understand the behavior of applications deployed in these containers, and how to identify issues in their application infrastructure. For example, how are multiple containers within an application impacting each other's performance? If an application's service is degraded, which container is to blame? In the case of an application outage, what was the root cause of the outage?

In the rush to compete in the digital age, a successful digital transformation is essential, but many organizations are setting themselves up for failure. There's a common misconception that the process is just about technology, but it's not. It's about your business. It shouldn't be treated as an isolated IT project; it should be driven by business needs with the committed involvement of a range of stakeholders.

For my twin and me, there's no higher commendation of a social gathering than for it to be worthy of accompaniment by saxophonist/composer/bandleader Wayne Shorter's 1974 masterpiece, Native Dancer. That's how I like to consider Shorter—with the delicate, dizzying opener, "Ponta de Areia" (featuring its author, Milton Nascimento), dancing like a sugarplum at the edge of my consciousness—as a warm, human co-conspirator to our time of innocence in a black bohemian world when jazz was still a lived thing, an everyday presence, not a museum culture to be coldly enshrined in institutions under the aegis of self-appointed native scouts nor fixed to suit Linnaeus on pristine boxed sets. At 75, Shorter is definitely one of the last of jazz's titans, duly revered for his ascendance from Blakey's Jazz Messengers and Miles's second hallowed quintet to Weather Report and notable collaborations with rock orbit auteurs Joni Mitchell and Steely Dan. This birthday program, premiering Shorter's first-ever classical commission, Terra Incognita, is a good opportunity to honor his legacy. Wayne Shorter Quartet with the Imani Winds.

OPRF hires interim human resources director
By Terry Dean
Oak Park and River Forest High School has hired John Carlson as its interim director of human resources for the 2013-2014 school year. Carlson has been an administrator at Elgin High School, Niles North High School and Niles Township High School. Since his retirement in 2005, he has served as interim HR director for school districts in Hinsdale, Elmhurst and Glen Ellyn. His teaching career began in 1966 at Larkin High School in Elgin, and from 2000-2005 he served as assistant superintendent for personnel services for Lake Park High School District 108 in Roselle.
Carlson was hired by OPRF last week. Spokesperson Karin Sullivan said the high school plans to hire a second interim HR director who will split duties with Carlson.

Most large brand advertisers think of TV as a very valuable aspect of their awareness efforts. The more gross rating points (GRPs) that are purchased against a particular demographic, the more scale, visibility, and reach an advertisement can achieve. To be honest, we would be remiss to deny the power. According to Nielsen, the average consumer still watches about 153 hours of TV a month, but 172 million Internet users (81 percent of online population) also watch on average 15 hours of digital video content per month (comScore, April 2011).
If we bundle the idea of video as one entity vs. separating TV and digital, we would realize it's everywhere. Video can be found in the gym, the grocery store, your car, and is widely accessible across all personal devices, such as computers, smartphones, tablets, and TVs. The idea of programming and entertainment by appointment is becoming obsolete and "content now" is a consumer demand. The new consumer expects to access content when, where, and how they want.
Contrary to popular belief, this new consumer spans all demographics, with the latest stats putting the 50+ demo at the largest for video consumption (32 percent of all demographic splits, followed closely by ages 18 to 34 and 35 to 49, both at 27 percent, according to Nielsen, November 2011).
Technology advancements are the key driver to these catastrophic changes in consumption habits:
- Computer. Most traditional TV networks provide full episode access online, in some instances providing different or new content – and you can hook up a computer to most standard TVs these days.
- DVR. Users can and do pay to be able to record and watch specific content when they want it, also providing them the ability to consume at their leisure.
- Smartphones/tablets. Greater opportunities to leverage the 200 million+ video views per day across most mobile devices.
- Connected TV/advanced TV. The ultimate experience, users can watch standard TV, access full episode players online, surf the web, and search for content.
- Gaming consoles. Similar to a connected TV, there are many ways to access content through these devices; they're not just for gaming any more.
And these are just a few of the major changes in the past five years.
Why You Should Like Digital Video
- While lower than its TV comparison, digital video has proven that it alone can drive in market sales.
- You can use digital to complement TV buys to reach audiences that are cost prohibitive through TV ( primetime) – consumers "catch up" on episodes online.
- There's a lot of content available.
- No upfront buy is needed (vs. standard TV).
- Cancellation policies tend to be more flexible.
- Opportunities for social viewing and engagement efforts already exist.
- Metrics, metrics, metrics.
What the Future Holds
As digital media professionals, we know the landscape is changing. We should be taking advantage of the many ways to leverage new media as part of an integrated mix. However, we still struggle to quantify its value in the appropriate fashion. Some of us will adapt the digital video impressions into GRPs and others will speak to engagement metrics. But which is correct?
In my opinion, the major changes in the future will need to be standardization. More and more pricing models have extended to allow for buying on GRPs or full video views to make digital more accountable. As the digital technology becomes more interchangeable with traditional media, the metrics will need to change to encompass a holistic view of overall results, whether traditional TV or any form of digital video.

PETALING JAYA: The Government should review and improve Sabah's coastal security following the abduction of a Chinese tourist and Filipina resort worker on Wednesday.
MCA deputy secretary-general Datuk Wee Jeck Seng said the latest kidnapping by armed men at Singamata Reef Resort, Semporna, had marred the country's image.
"Since the invasion of Lahad Datu by Sulu gunmen from the Philippines, the Government sought to strengthen security through the formation of the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom), which covers 10 districts," he said in a statement yesterday.
Esscom covers the districts of Kudat, Kota Marudu, Pitas, Beluran, Sandakan, Kinabatangan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, Semporna and Tawau, and is headed by the Chief Minister, who reports directly to the Prime Minister.
However, Wee said the fact that the kidnapping happened barely five months after the incident at Pom Pom island, where a Taiwan national was killed and his wife kidnapped, showed that security along Sabah's coastline needed to be reviewed.
Wee, who is Tanjung Piai MP, suggested that the security of the eastern part of Sabah should not solely be the Government's responsibility.
"In addition to strengthening regional security with the help of the local coastal residents, each of us, including tourists, should also play an important role by reporting suspicious activities," he said.

Sundance Selects nabs "Hellion" Aaron Paul drama
February 25, 2014 - 12:00 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Sundance Selects is acquiring North American rights to writer-director Kat Candler's drama "Hellion," which stars Aaron Paul, Juliette Lewis and newcomer Josh Wiggins, TheWrap said.
"Hellion" premiered last month at the Sundance Film Festival, and Sundance Selects will release the film in theaters and on VOD later this year.
Kelly Williams and Jonathan Duffy produced "Hellion," follows 13-year-old dirt bike racer Jacob Wilson (Wiggins in his feature film debut), whose delinquent behavior has begun to raise concerns around town, especially when it starts to involve his younger brother Wes (newcomer Deke Garner). While the boys' father Hollis (Paul) loves his sons, he is still reeling from the loss of their mother, spending more time drowning his sorrows at the local bar and working on his damaged beach house than being an active parent.
When the local authorities catch wind of the increasingly volatile situation, Wes is taken into custody and placed with his Aunt Pam (Lewis), leaving Jacob and Hollis to fend for themselves. In Wes' absence, Jacob becomes increasingly obsessed with two things: winning a local motocross championship and getting his brother back.
Discovered on YouTube, Wiggins was among the most acclaimed actors at this year's Sundance Film Festival, with one publication comparing his performance to Leonardo DiCaprio's in "This Boy's Life."
"Hellion" was executive produced by Jeff Nichols ("Mud"), Sarah Green ("The Tree of Life"), Janice Beard, Tanner Beard and Suzanne Weinert, while Paul served as co-executive producer. The film features a soundtrack of classics from heavy-metal heavyweights including Metallica, Slayer and The Sword.
"Kat Candler has crafted an exquisite and beautiful drama featuring towering performances across the board. The entire cast here including Aaron Paul as we have never seen him before, and the remarkable arrival of young Josh Wiggins, make this film an absolute must watch for any serious filmgoer," said Jonathan Sehring, president of Sundance Selects/IFC Films.
"We couldn't be more thrilled to find such a great home in Sundance Selects. It's an honor to be in the company of so many of my favorite films that IFC Films and Sundance Selects have released over the years," added Candler.

Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SSD Review - The New Performance King
Samsung 850 Pro 1TB SSD
The 850 Pro packages are a bit more menacing than the previous models.
The back of the proposed retail package shows the performance specifications, something we really like for retail shoppers. A list of features and the warranty information is also on the back. We call this the proposed package because sometime after SanDisk launched the Extreme Pro and my writing this review, the warranty moved from 5 years to 10.
The 850 Pro we received is a bare drive model with the SSD, two paper booklets and two stickers.
Here we get our first look at the drive. The square at the bottom now has a reddish tint to it while the older models were orange.
The model number, serial number and capacity size information is on the back of the drive.
The 850 Pro is a 7mm z-height SSD so it fits in the growing number of Ultrabooks on the market.
Inside we found a very small PCB inside the 2.5" drive case. Samsung is able to reduce the total manufacturing cost by shrinking the design. The 128GB model uses an even smaller PCB.
The overall design is actually very simple and cost effective.
Samsung used the 3-core MEX controller on 850 Pro, the same used in the EVO products.
The 1TB model we're looking at here has a 1GB LPDDR2 DRAM buffer.
Since the 850 Pro uses the same controller as the 840 EVO, the NAND flash is the main difference, along with the controller programming. This is our first real up close look at Samsung's new 3D V-NAND. On the surface it really doesn't look much different than 2D planar NAND that we've used since the first consumer SSDs hit the market.
Samsung used eight flash packages to get to the 1TB capacity size on the 850 Pro 2.5" drive.

Pakayla Biehn is a San Franciso-based artist who collaborates with photographers in her Double Exposure series, by taking inspiration from double exposure photography and painting the images using oil on canvas. The end result is an incredibly beautiful and detailed series with an oneiric quality.
Christo Dagorov's Drawings Transform Lips Into Surreal Landscapes
Swiss artist and illustrator Christo Dagorov's series Lips features surreal drawings of – you guessed it – human lips. Although they mimic the shape, Dagorov transforms them with textures that you wouldn't see on someone's face. The artist uses pencil to create a forest, prison, and even a group of naked bodies.
If the series wasn't titled Lips, there's a chance you might not realize that they are the subject of Dagorov's drawings. He covers their supple surface with his own imagination and effectively turns them into tiny landscapes with short, narrative tales. But, because know they are intended as lips, it adds another layer of intrigue. These images represent a story that's being told and a visual way to signify words coming off lips. (Via Colossal)
Kamolpan Chotvichai's Shredded Self-Portraits Produce The Illusion Of Glitchy Dissolution
Kamolpan Chotvichai explores the limitations of paper by carefully hand-cutting portraits of herself and rendering an effect of dissolution based on the Buddha's teaching on anatta (no self). Parts of Chotvichai's human form appear warped and melted, almost glitchy, as if they are about to disintegrate; the artist's careful attention to the direction and shape of her cuts produces an elegant illusory effect. Chotvichai explains,
One's adhering to something can cause the greatest misery in life especially being attached to self-existing. The idea of this self-existing is actually self-formed and leads to variety of emotions. The temper, the mind and the body altogether gradually form the idea of being alive but when putting into consideration, without any substance, it is merely the thought that we think we are existing…The way I create my work is to set consciousness and concentration by slitting and cutting on the portrait of myself which is considered to be the unconditional action of effort and attempt. This action is therefore to destroy and create the emptiness which will lead to the stage of naught.
Chotvichai was born, raised, and educated in Bangkok, where she currently resides. (via my amp goes to 11)

Dan Estabrook's Lost Aesthetic
Digital photography has advanced the medium for well over a decade, with new innovations breaking into tech-savvy genres that allow for unique work to progress and doors to be opened. However, contemporary photographers such as Dan Estabrook are looking back 200 years to the very first steps photography took as an artform, and bringing back the lost aesthetic from two centuries of happy accidents. More after the cut!
Aaron Nagel
Hey kids, you don't need to go to art school! Look what self-taught painter, Aaron Nagel accomplishes without formal training. This specific series of paintings feature beautiful women, who almost seem to be martyrs, against a dark abyss. In a strange way, the portraits feel religious and slightly sacrilegious at the same time. Aaron has upcoming shows in San Francisco and Florida.
Dutch collaborators Carmen Freudenthal (photographer) and Elle Verhagen (stylist) have been working together since 1989. Their collaboration with fashion designers, performers and other artists results in a wide variety of work, which is always recognizable for its humorous approach of daily life and its use (and abuse) of contemporary imagery and (photo)graphic techniques.

I'm loving these brutal and thick paintings by Wisconsin native Huey Crowley.

Manufacturing the news: ABC News hires actors to engage in homosexual PDA, provoke reaction
When you don't feel like covering the news, you manfacture it. Remember the story I broke last spring about NBC News engineering a sting at NASCAR to try and expose fans as anti-Muslim bigots? Well, it looks like the dinosaur networks haven't learned from the embarrassing backlash to that pathetic episode. Or Rathergate. Or Shattered Glass. Or Janet Cooke. Or Scott Thomas Beauchamp. Etc. etc. etc.
Now, according to the local Fox affiliate in Birmingham, Alabama, it looks like ABC News is engaging in media stage management and Theater of Journalism to expose anti-homosexual bigotry in the South:
ABC is doing a social experiment in Birmingham that includes having same-sex couples show affection for each other in public, according to Birmingham police department sources.
FOX6 first learned about this story from a Southside merchant who pointed out an RV parked at the corner of 20th Street and 11th Avenue South. The merchant said ABC was working on a week-long project to see how people would react to things like public displays of affection by gay and lesbian couples. A FOX6 news reporter approached the RV and talked with an "actor" who said, "Yes, we are working for ABC News."
The "experiment" is apparently for ABC's Primetime Live program, which is running a series of undercover stings titled "What Would You Do?"
Welcome to Serious Broadcast Journalism: If you can't find the video you need to fit the P.C. left narrative, hire actors to make it happen.
Dinosaur network news motto: All the news that's fit to stage.
Here's more about "What Would You Do?" from a 2005 article on the ABC News site.
Flashback: News sting ideas of the day (these came in after the NASCAR/NBC debacle…feel free to send/add your suggestions for new ABC News ideas):
I wonder if they would consider sending a professor wearing an "I Love W" button and an American flag pin into the faculty lounge at Harvard or some other liberal ivory tower with a hidden camera. I would love to see that experiment. I can't imagine anyone at NBC doing that one. Maybe John Stossel at ABC, though?
…Perhaps when I get back from deployment, you can follow me around Seattle and see how I get treated wearing my Navy uniform…
…Why don't you set up some white guy with hidden cameras, put a George Bush T-Shirt on him and have him walk down a street in Pakistan. Or, better yet, have him walk down a street in Detroit. I'll just bet you could get a lot of bigoted reactions…

Steps to get Audio to work in Debian Etch
Debian Etch is a very good Linux distribution.

Recently when I downloaded and installed the latest version of Debian Etch Beta 3, every thing went quite smoothly - Etch correctly detected all the hardware in my machine and I was booted into Linux in no time.

A "Linux Embedded Development Environment" (LEDE) fork of the lightweight, router-oriented OpenWrt Linux distribution vows greater transparency and inclusiveness. Some core developers of the OpenWrt community has forked off into a Linux Embedded Development Environment (LEDE) group. LEDE is billed as both a "reboot" and "spinoff" of the lightweight, router-focused distribution that aims to build an open source embedded Linux distro that "makes it easy for developers, system administrators or other Linux enthusiasts to build and customize software for embedded devices, especially wireless routers."

The on-demand gift: instant gratification via discounted apps
We've talked about a number of last-minute gift ideas, and believe it or not even today -- December 24 -- it's not to late to put a physical object in someone's hand. Amazon has one-hour (ish) delivery of selected goods in 16 metropolitan areas around the US (see map below), and a number of stores are still open that can offer popular electronics, household items, and most importantly gift certificates. Online GCs are easy to order as well, but here's another area that works up to and including Christmas Day: gifting an app or app bundle.
Happy holidays from all at MacNN
It's funny how you've had to work twice as hard in order to get these few short days off but you've done that and now we're into the holidays. So put down your email and instead pick up the wrapping paper, forget your calendar and instead count the hours to Christmas Day and then, the New Year.
One More Thing 018: The Christmas Eve Lagrange Point
Get your coat, it's cold out there. But while regular co-host Malcolm Owen is off working, you and I are going to take a little drive. It's a very British drive so expect a lot of roundabouts – what is it with the UK and roundabouts? – plus some slightly distracted driving, possibly a few near misses, and also, well, not exactly news.
The MacNN Gift Guide: 'Twas the night before Christmas ...
Look, we're not prying, and we're certainly not judging. Yet, if you have left your Christmas shopping this late, perhaps you should be taking a moment to examine why. Late shopping usually means obligation more than, say, fondness, and it always means limited choices and hiked prices. Times are tough for retailers, you can't blame them for capitalizing on those times when someone has given you an unexpected present that you've got to reciprocate. However, you are a Mac and iOS user, you've got options.
Briefly: Apple's holiday gift, CarPlay sells cars, Swift integration
On the last day of Hanukkah and just days before Christmas, Apple has given out its annual holiday gift to its employees. This year, in one of the more generous packages in recent memory, workers at all levels of the company will receive some urBeats headphones, and a free nine-month subscription to the Apple Music service. SVP of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue relayed the news to workers through a video message, and employees will receive the Apple Music promo code later this month.
Hands On: Cardsmith 1.0.1 (OS X)
There are a couple of things you can be sure about with Christmas: you've procrastinated from buying for too long to get a good card, but that's okay -- there are no good cards anyway. Certainly, none that say precisely what you want. We're British, so we secretly long for a range of cards with messages like "Happy Holidays to an entirely adequate uncle" and we've always been disappointed. Until now -- while Cardsmith 1.0.1 is really meant for less curmudgeonly people than we seem to be today, it still helps you create personalized cards for any occasion. It just happens that there's a big one coming.
The MacNN Gift Guide: Gifts for the Apple Watch owners in your life
If you don't have an Apple Watch, you may feel that Christmas has already come for people who do -- and you've got a point there. If you do have an Apple Watch, though, you tend to adore it, and there can't be anything better for inserting yourself into a loved one's life and/or attention span than by giving them something to make the Watch even better. It can be done. It can. It's just not easy.
MacNN One More Thing episode 15: Five Pints Please
This is where the news went. While you were eating turkey, holidaying with family or simply not looking, there was news. Malcolm Owen was here and this week fills in William Gallagher on everything he missed. That includes the new Apple holiday advert, the potential new Apple moves with Lightning cables and OLED displays plus Christmas Thingies of the Week.
One More Thing 14: Except in Nebraska
We've been checking our lists twice, chiefly because of syncing issues, and you know how it is. Christmas expands to fill the space you have and nature abhors a news vacuum so in what continues to be a quiet week, One More Thing decks some halls. Wait, is that Christmas or Thanksgiving? It's some holiday or other and we're after celebrating all of them because it's a Grade A excuse to discuss some of the finest technology around.
Apple took lion's share of worldwide holiday mobile device purchases
Mobile analytics firm Flurry posted new data on the holiday buying season on Monday, and summarized its findings on global mobile devices purchases for Christmas in a single sentence: "It's clear that Santa is no longer into cookies -- he prefers Apples." On a worldwide scale, 51.3 percent of mobile activations between December 19 and Christmas Day were Apple devices, outstripping the combined might of all competitors and leaving each individual company -- even Samsung -- far behind.

Apple offers customizable Mother's Day ad creator
In a follow-up to its recent Mother's Day TV ad that continues the "shot on iPhone" campaign, Apple has now set up a dedicated website that allows users to upload a single image of their own mothers into the end of the TV spot, which does not include any advertising message other than a brief Apple logo at the end. The uploaded photo is inserted into the ad, which carries no overt images of Apple products, narration, or other identifiers that the footage was shot on iPhones. Users can preview the finished custom video and share it to social networks in time for Mother's Day, which arrives on May 8. http://bit.ly/1ZnVPL2
Drake album tops 250M views on Apple Music
The latest album from Drake, titled Views, was streamed some 250 million times in its first week as an Apple Music exclusive, according to label Republic Records. The album, which was released last Thursday, topped a streaming record previously held by Justin Beiber of 205 million streams across all the popular streaming services in its first week. Views will become available on other streaming services starting May 13. The album has also sold over 1.2 million copies in its first week on iTunes. http://bit.ly/1s0S3gO
Cook to speak at Startup Fest Europe
May is turning out to be a busy travel month for Apple CEO Tim Cook: following on from reports that he will head back to China to meet with government officials there to help smooth out some recent difficulties, Cook is scheduled to be among the guest speakers at Startup Fest Europe in Amsterdam on May 24 at 11:10AM local time. His talk will run about 35 minutes, according to the schedule for the event. Other speakers across the five-day event will include Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte, and Alphabet Chairman Eric Schmidt. http://bit.ly/1q3Zvpr
Retail VP Kupbens leaves Apple
Bob Kupbens, who joined Apple in 2014 just ahead of Dame Angela Ahrendts to run the online Apple Store and other web-based retail programs as vice president of online marketing efforts, has reportedly left the company for another position. Kupbens, who was previously in charge of digital marketing initiatives and e-commerce at Delta Air Lines, replaced Jennifer Bailey when she was appointed to run the Apple Pay project. He has overseen the redesign of the online store, the online iPhone upgrade program, and has generally worked to make the site better integrated with the retail Apple Stores. No replacement for Kupbens has yet been named.
Xcode updated for Git security
Apple on Friday patched two known critical vulnerabilities in its Xcode development tool that were concerned with the Git source code management client portion of the program. For unknown reasons, Apple waited seven weeks to update the version of Git shipping with the command-line tools in Xcode to v2.7.4, released by Git developers on March 17 to address the vulnerabilities. The flaw, now corrected, could allow for cloning a repository with a specially-crafted file structure, giving attackers a chance to execute malicious code on systems where cloning operations were initiated, reports Computerworld.

GoPro revenue drops, Karma drone delayed
Action camera maker GoPro announced its first quarter results on Thursday, and the news was largely bad. While unit sell-through of the cameras was close to the year-over-year compare, revenues dropped 49.5 percent from Q1 last year, though was slightly above the company's guidance. Overall, the company lost $107 million in GAAP net income, and margins declined to 32.5 percent from 45.1 percent in the year-ago quarter. The company further announced that it would be delaying its planned Karma drone product until this winter, which will likely further impact next quarter's results. The upside of the delay, said GoPro Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman, is that the Karma will now benefit from debuting just before the holiday buying season. http://bit.ly/1OgpdgD

Young cancer patient thrilled after Reddit users send 20 pizzas to hospital room
Reddit to the rescue!
A user of popular viral website, Reddit.com, was walking by the Children's Hospital in Los Angeles when he noticed a message on one of the patient's windows.
The SOS read, "Send Pizza RM 4112."
According to Gawker, the Redditor snapped a photo of the plea and quickly posted it to the website.
Shortly after the image surfaced online, there were a total of 20 pizzas sent to the patient's hospital room.
The message on the window was written by Lauren Hammersley, the mother of 2-year-old Hazel, who is suffering from stage 3 neuroblastoma cancer.
"Hazel woke up from her nap to the smell of pizza and was so excited to chow down," Lauren said. "Several other children and nurses came into the room, with music playing, and had themselves a wonderful Pizza Party."
A Facebook page was set up on Wednesday to show support for Hazel. As of Monday, the page already has over 4,000 followers.

A successful Hamilton-based manuka honey producer is expanding - and beelining straight to Taranaki.
SummerGlow Apiaries snapped up 900 acres of marginal farmland in the region last year and has wasted no time in getting things operational.
"The hives are down there, we put them in straight away," said co-owner Margaret Bennett.
Bennett, who has been bee keeping with her husband, Bill, for more than 37-years, said the purchase was a chance to ensure the business' future, especially as her son and son-in-law will take over the reins when she and Bill retire.
"We could see we needed to expand our production and secure our production. Because in bee keeping you've normally got hives, but you're landless.
"We saw this as an opportunity to expand things for the young men."
The property, which Bennett said is marked by razor-back ridges and unsuitable for farming, is considered an "ideal landscape" for manuka honey production.
It is full of a large number of quality manuka plants and the manuka in the area is also isolated from other competing nector sources.
Company director and bee keeper James Jeffery said the isolation helps produce the best quality honey.
"What's so attractive about the Taranaki manuka is there's nothing else in that area that offers anything else for our bees to feed on during the time the manuka is flowering," he said.
"If the manuka is the only source of nectar our bees can find . . . the honey is going to be as pure as it can possibly be."
Jeffery said inquiries with other bee keepers in the region indicated the area was on par with other parts of the country for production.
The family-owned business, based in Te Kowhai, has been producing manuka honey for more than 35 years in the Waikato region.

A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
A funny thing happened on the way to the NHL Winter Classic:
The Blackhawks got good. Very good.
As a result, the spectacle that John McDonough begged his league to bring to Wrigley to help him reanimate a recently dead franchise has turned into something else:
A signficant matchup between the Detroit Red Wings, the defending Stanley Cup champions, and the Blackhawks, the Wings' closest divisional pursuers, one of the league's youngest, highest scoring, and most dynamic clubs.
In case you have been too busy following the Cubs' off-season exploits to pay attention to the Blackhawks--or, more likely, if you have never paid attention to the Hawks--here is a Cubs baseball/Blackhawks hockey translator just for you.

Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
what if you stopped following the Hawks when they traded Chris Chelios to the fucking Red Wings in 1999?
can I hop back in now?
and no, that wasn't the only reason I stopped paying attention, but it started somewhere around then.
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
i wish someone would take chelios out oh how much
i would like to see him get laid out by a blackhawk.
thats my wish for thursday
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
I'm watching tomorrow's game. I'll never forget being at a Blackhawks game and being one of those dudes family guys hate. I screamed obscenities all night and the guy in front of me wanted to take me down. But I was bigger and stronger than he was so he backed down. I'm hoping Milton Bradley is mellowing out, too.
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
Havlat really hasn't even had any "good performances" in a Hawks uniform and he can't stay on the ice. He's actually been demoted to the third line.
I'm with you Rokfish, I was a total Chelios mark as a kid and I would love to take a run at him on or off the ice.
If people did quit watching the Hawks after Chelios was traded he's hated now. A lot. He gets raspberries hurled at him every time he touches the puck in Chicago. Said he would never resign with the Wings after being traded and he has about 4 or 5 times now and he's even more hated now after putting 6 successive crosschecks on Kane last season in the UC. If you watched the Tues night game Ben Eager took a run at Chelios and in the typical Red Wing fashion, Chelios did nothing because he's a fraud. They slash and take cheap hits behind the action and then will never drop the gloves or face anyone head on. He'll get booed out of Wrigley tomorrow. Brett Lebda, Chicagoland native and Cubs fan is a jerkoff too. Osgood and Lidstrom are the only likable/respectable players on the Wings. Ex Hawk Daniel Cleary put a cheap hit on Kane on Tuesday night and nearly took his knee out, then Lebda took another shot at Kaner on the boards a period later. Kane is 5'10 and 170lbs. He's this era's Paul Kariya. Someone from the Hawks better step up tomorrow and crush Cleary or Datsyuk. I'm generally not a hockey fight fan, I like big open ice clean shoulder checks but Burish or Walker or someone better knock out Cleary or one of the skilled Wings forwards tomorrow.
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey

I miss the days of the scooter line...
Forward Ken Wharram provided speed, consistency and an exemplary work ethic during an NHL career spent entirely with the Chicago Black Hawks, where he was best known as the fleetest member of the potent Scooter Line with Stan Mikita and Ab McDonald.
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
today's fustercluck left me longing for a little input from the "h-e-m" line. lord knows the hawks could have used all the help available.
a dose of steve smith on the blue line may well have helped also. too many wings skating unfettered in too many directions, all at the same time. too bad the cubs did not circle the bases in wrigley in october the way detroit circled the net in january.
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
and I do remember the 1961 Stanley Cup Champs...
beyond their stars there was...Moose Vasko, Eric Nesterenko, Pierre Pilote, Chico Maki and Reggie Fleming... when Hockey was king in Chicago.
To get back to those days will take alot of work. John McDonough surely gets it though.

Sean Lowe sneezing at Mets 3/36 offer?
An industry source said Boras indeed has told the Mets there's a mystery team in the mix to sign Lowe.
Seasonal Allergies? With Boras there's always a mystery team. Usually it's just one team that Boras gets to bid against itself. In this case it's also the Mets, once Bernard Madoff acquires the team from the Wilpons.
Jeff Wilpon admits he and his father, Mets owner Fred Wilpon, were "completely blindsided" in losing hundreds of millions of dollars in the $50 billion securities fraud scandal allegedly perpetrated by longtime family friend and business associate Bernard Madoff.
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
another typical Blackhawk vs elite team performance. 0-8 vs the Wings, Sharks and Bruins. Taking stupid penalties against the top PP scoring teams. You would think that they would have learned their lesson after Tuesday night but nope, more idiotic penalties by Buf, Campbell and Wiz lead to 3 PP goals and the difference in the game. Why Q feels the need to play Campbell and Barker on the same line is beyond me too. Two offensive D against the Wings is not a good plan. Bufuglien is 250-260 lbs and what, 1 hit? Weak. One bright spot with Seabrook & Ladd though.
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
I agree, dB.....for these last two games, every time a Blackhawk came near the puck, I could count at least 3 Red Wing jerseys. I believe the Hawks are going to have to skate like that if they ever plan on beating Detroit.
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
They're a very young team, they're still learning how to play the Wings - give them some time, they'll get the idea eventually. Putting Cleary over the boards was a good first step in that direction.
"...as with the Cubs I was an 80's child..."
I started listening to their games on the radio back in the late 60's, with the greatest Chicago sports team that never won a championship (Mikita, Hull, Martin, Esposito, Pappin, Magnuson, etc.) with the greatest Chicago sports announcer ever, IMHO. I went downtown to watch the teams with the RPM line (Rutkowski, Preston and Mulvey), then later on with Savard and Chelios. Wurtz Sr. became my most hated owner after he left the franchise go to seed over the ensuing decades, and took every advantage of loyal fans who were taken for granted every which way. Glad to see his progeny starting to restore the integrity of the team - but it will never be the same as during the days of "The Madhouse on Madison."
Re: A Cub Fans Guide to Blackhawks Hockey
but the Hawks beat the Wings 5 out of 8 games last season with an inferior team and supposedly an inexperienced head coach so youth isn't a good excuse. The Hawks also outplayed the Wings in the first two matchups but choked away 2 goal leads in the 3rd period because of these stupid penalties. Campbell and Wiz are vets, not really that young to excuse those penalties and really Buf has been around for 3-4 years too. I can let guys like Kane and Versteeg slide with high sticking penalties because they're 20 and undersized and have to defend themselves that way. No excuse for the others.

World Series Shuffle?
This team even has rap prospects!
If you look at the FIP and xFIP numbers, the Hendricks vs. Ross matchup doesn't look so bad for the Cubs.
Yeah, Baez got Maddon wanting that D.
That is a fair point. Man this team has crazy depth.
Da Cubs
Man, with a 20-6 record, it doesn't seem right to complain about any aspect of this team. What are you expecting? A 26-0 record? I'm not saying that the Cubs are above critique, but I am saying any problems that might exist don't appear to be a major hindrance at the moment. To quote a great philosopher "numbers don't lie, check the scoreboard."
I also recall Joe talking about he liked the way Hendricks matches up on paper against Washington. Assuming it was Joe's doing his Jedi mind tricks thing.
Sergio Mitre??!! LOVE IT!
Imagine if Lester would just pitch nine innings every start.
Now that's funny coming from the board martyr.
You made a comment about Lester not pitching deep enough into games, Rob and others dispute it, and then it devolves into more of you acting like you're being unfairly singled out.
Classic Crunch.
"Therefore, the Cubs have not had ONE pitcher in the last five years that is a TOR starter waiting in the wings ..."
It's a little scary, especially when you look over at the Mets, the one team around the league that worries me, maybe because I have clear recollections of 1969.
Actually, the only Cub draftee since 2012 when McLeod and the new FO took over the draft who has thrown a pitch in the majors is Zack Godley. So it's not just TOR starters that we're not seeing.
We've got a David-Goliath type situation tonight, but you never know. In matchups like this, I always remember that Sergio Mitre v. Roy Halladay game the Cubs won at home several years ago.
I am going tonight, so I am not ok with that.
But, maybe Hendrix will give his patented solid 5 before Richard or Wood comes in...
One can hope.
if you save the lumber from your constant trips to the cross you can build your very own safe space to view my posts.
@billybucks you speak the truth and it's precisely what me and others have been saying for over a year. It's an unfortunate hitch in his game, one that seems correctable, but so far has not been corrected. Also a hitch that is going over 3 seasons now and no one has been able to truly exploit in any meaningful way (except sort of the Royals in that Wild Card game although they stole plenty of bases off the other pitchers in that game and the rest of the playoff teams the rest of that run).
