The $1 billion lawsuit alleges that Google copied LimitNone's "gMove" e-mail and calendar migration tool and then used the design to augment Google Apps. "Google claims its core philosophy is 'Don't be evil' but, simply put, they invited us to work with them, to trust them -- and then stole our technology," said LimitNone's CEO, Ray Glassmann, in a prepared statement.
The lawsuit over the e-mail tool was filed on LimitNone's behalf by Kelley Drye & Warren LLP, a commercial litigation group which has also brought legal challenges against Google over its online advertising.
Seeking up to $950 million in compensation for lost revenue, the lawsuit also alleges that Google violated Illinois' consumer fraud laws in producing "Google Email Uploader."

Good food, but where's the coffee?
I was pretty shocked to see that Bread Talk had opened a cafe and decided to give it a shot when I saw it at WestGate.
I ordered the HurryCurry which was Indian Naan served with spicy curry. It was surprisingly really good! I didn't think that a "play it safe" type of shop like BreadTalk would be able to throw in a whole new level of spicy into any of their dishes! I can safely say that I have quite a huge liking for spicy food and this did satisfy my taste buds!
That being said, I don't think it lives up to it's name of being a cafe. I'd expect a cafe to serve a good range of quality coffee but the choices were pretty limited and the latte tasted like it was made from a Keurig machine, which pretty much defeats the main purpose.

Persuasive Essay
My desire to assist people with deformities are what I would like to have as a career. All one should do in order to accomplish that goal is to dedicate themselves to their education and receive their doctorates degree. This certain necessities could be done if I were to receive a scholarship from the Executive Women International Scholarship. With my desire to succeed in making my goals become reality, to put my education before everything else, and the love to learn new material, receiving a scholarship would aid me and benefit me greatly.
Many foundations that are willing to give out a certain amount of money will not do it carelessly, they must have some qualities that are needed in order to hand it out. I believe I have a few characteristics that are worthy enough to be presented with this particular scholarship. One being that I am dedicated when it comes to my academics. When I have to choose between two objects and school is one of the choices, my automatic response would be to choose the most obvious, my schooling. I was always taught that knowledge is power so therefore to sustain leverage, instruction must be the main priority. Accomplishing my goals would be a honor and would bring pride to not only myself but to all others around me. This scholarship will give an assistance to fulfilling what I believe as what I was meant to complete, earning the degrees with hard work.
Learning about biology and human sciences brings excitement to me and those who desire to help others medically. In my opinion, schooling is so much more than just learning the basics. I would love to expand my knowledge in biology or chemistry. Rather than just learning body parts I would like to understand and get a better understanding of how all body systems interact to make up a human being. All of this could be fulfilled if I were to attend a great university. Receiving a degree that majors in human sciences would be such a honorable moment that with Executive Women International Scholarship will give me.
To conclude, to be presented with this specific scholarship would be greatly admired. To strive to be the best should be rewarded with one of the best scholarships.

stuffed chicken breasts with penne pasta
Recipe by crazymom
chicken with a little surprize inside, a wonderful blend of flavors to delight you taste buds
Top Review by Lorac
My favorite part of this dish is the sauce. The second best part is the burst of flavor from the sausage when you cut into the chicken. The cumin and ginger transform what would be an ordinary Italian style pasta sauce into an addiction. The cheese adds little flavor and could be left out. The recipe steps leave out the addition of the tomato sauce and cumin. Bravo Chef for a delicious and unique dish.

Grisaia no Kajitsu: A VN-to-Anime Side-by-Side [Episode 1]
Welcome to a new series of posts for the Grisaia no Kajitsu anime. I've been watching it intently for 5 episodes now, and at many points, they are starting to compress the incredibly large VN (around 50+ hours). This is made for me to point out the compressions and express my thoughts on them. A VN is incredibly tough to go through especially if there is no True End, and the routes all include a romantic relationship with the protagonist. Continue reading

Winning the River Bell Classic last week over Nicholls State wasn't enough to save Mike Lucas' job as head football coach at Southeastern Louisiana University.
SLU officials announced in a brief news release Monday afternoon that Lucas "will be released from his duties effective immediately."
The release further states, "The search for a new coach will begin immediately."
Lucas said he was notified of the university's decision in a meeting with SLU President John Crain and SLU Athletic Director Bart Bellairs on Monday afternoon.
"There really wasn't very much conversation," Lucas said. "They just said they were going to go in a different direction."
Southeastern compiled a 3-8 record this season and closed with a 31-14 win over Nicholls State on Thursday to snap an 12-game conference losing streak and finish seventh in the Southland Conference standings ahead of the Colonels.
SLU finished fourth in the Southland Conference in total offense this season (401.8 yards per game), but finished last in total defense (441 ypg) and seventh in turnover margin (-12).
The Lions started the season with losses to Football Bowl Subdivision teams Tulane and Southern Miss, sandwiched around a 63-6 win over Savannah State.
But in its first five SLC games this season, SLU was outscored 240-120.
In a 28-20 road loss to Stephen F. Austin on Nov. 12, the Lions had the ball at the Lumberjacks' 8 before turning the ball over on downs with just more than two minutes remaining.
SLU got a 38-28 nonconference win over Texas State on Oct 22.
Lucas and his staff played their share of young players this season and lost several key players to injuries as the season progressed.
"With a year left on my contract, I hoped they would see we were playing better and playing with some young guys," Lucas said. "On our final two-deep, there were 13 freshmen and sophomores on offense and 10 freshmen on defense.
"The future's real bright. Whoever they hire is going to have a lot of good, young players."
Lucas, who compiled a 19-40 record in five seasons at the helm of the SLU program, took over as head coach at the end of the 2006 season for Dennis Roland.
Lucas, who came to SLU in 2005, served as the team's defensive coordinator under Roland; was interim head coach while Roland underwent treatment for non-Hodgkins lymphoma in 2006; and was officially named head coach on Dec. 14, 2006, after SLU parted ways with Roland.
Lucas went 3-8 in his first full season as head coach in 2007 and followed with a 5-7 mark in 2008. During that season, Lucas was unable to coach the final six games as head coach after undergoing a heart valve procedure, and then-offensive coordinator Tommy Condell served as the team's acting head coach.
Lucas returned to the sideline in 2009 to post his best season with the Lions, going 6-5 overall and 4-3 in SLC play to earn Coach of the Year honors from the Louisiana Sports Writers Association.
The Lions followed with a 2-9 record last season.
"I just want to thank all the fans and administration at Southeastern," Lucas said. "(Former SLU President) Dr. (Randy) Moffett, who hired me. I just want to thank them for the opportunity. Hopefully, our kids learned more than wins and losses."
Lucas said he doesn't know what his future holds at this point.
"I'm kind of numb right now," he said. "My wife (Wendy) owns a business in Hammond, and my son (Torin) is a senior on the baseball team at Southeastern. We're just going to have to pray and see what the Lord has for our future."

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
This beautiful two bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment ideally suited for a family of 4 or 2 couples is set amongst superbly maintained gardens and is within walking distance of the resort's extensive facilities. Furnished to the highest standards, guests can enjoy a truly relaxing holiday, whether playing a round of golf or relaxing by one of the communal pools. You will find every amenity you need in this apartment. The large open plan living room comes with comfy seating, colour TV and a dining area for 4 people. The spacious kitchen is fully fitted enabling guests to prepare anything from a light snack to a gourmet dinner. There is an electric/gas oven/hob, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. There are two bright and airy bedrooms that are tastefully decorated. One bedroom offers twin beds and an en suite bathroom, the second has a king size bed. There is also a family shower room. Outside there is a patio area with table and chairs for outside dining. There are also sunbeds. Our apartment does not have internet (available for free at the clubhouse} or air conditioning.
What a gem of an apartment in a beautiful golfing holiday complex! It is well equipped and spacious with a lovely patio area. We were worried it didn't have air conditioning but being shaded by a large tree and with mesh on the large bedroom doors the windows could be kept open all the time, a bit like luxury camping! Stephen the owner was very friendly & trustworthy & I'd recommend booking directly through him & saving yourselves £70 odd! We didn't but you live & learn. Strongly recommend this apartment close to everything by car but not as touristy mad as our next apartment where I'm texting this from.
Excellently presented with all our needs for a great holiday, conveniently located to the swimming pool, clubhouse and mini market. Short drive to some of the best beaches on the algarve if it's too hot for playing golf. We would recommend this apartment to holiday makers of all ages.
We stayed for 7 nights with a 10 month old baby. The apartment is well equipped with everything you need and very comfortable. The location is excellent with a grassed area outside the patio area to relax and play on. The gramacho resort feels very secure and the bar / restaurant is also useful, well staffed and reasonably priced. There is a supermarket within walking distance and also a larger one within 5-10 minute drive.
We had an excellent stay and would definitely return and recommend the apartment.
Owners also very helpful with good information and restaurant recommendations etc...
My wife and I stayed at this apartment for 10 days beginning 25th September 2015. We found it to be quite spacious and very comfortable with good sunbathing facilities on the patio and garden outside. The apartment itself was spotlessly clean and the kitchen had everything in it that you would need for a self-catering holiday. We visited the (heated) pool, which is a two-minute walk away, every morning and found it to be really clean and well maintained with excellent changing facilities. We also visited the golf club, which is a four minute walk away, on a regular basis and found the food to be very good and the staff to be really friendly. To get the best out of the area, I would recommend hiring a car as there are some lovely beaches and restaurants just a short drive away. We would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment and intend to return again next year.
The apartment was as described and everything worked as it should. The host was very efficient in communicating.
The location is excellent if you have a car. Beautiful beaches and restaurants easy to access within minutes of the resort.
Highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful area. We are familiar with Carvoeiro but loved Gramacho. The apartment was clean, spacious, comfortable and very well equiped for our family. The communal pool was also very well maintained and convenient for the apartment. The estate is secure and has everything that we needed. The clubhouse was great for drinks and dinner - we loved the Thursday night BBQ! The owners were extremely helpful and keen to ensure that we had everything that we needed for a successful holiday.
Car hire is essential to make the most of the area and visit the beautiful beaches.
I would definitely recommend the apartment and hopefully we will be returning in the future! Thank you!
Located 45 minutes from Faro Airport, Pestana Golf Resort is a high quality resort on a beautiful 500 acre site and features two well known golf courses, namely Gramacho and Pinta. The popular, vibrant seaside resort of Carvoeiro is within a short drive.

There are also numerous local sandy beaches within a few minutes drive. Nearby there is also a water park, Zoo Marine, the busy resorts of Portimao and Albufeira and not too far away are the Monchique Mountains.
Golf: Two quality golf courses are on the doorstep. Gramacho a unique 6,107 metre 18 hole course designed by Nick Price.
