I purchased a book and have it in ePub and PDF formats. I can easily add the PDF to iBooks from Safari. However, I can't find a method to get an ePub book into iBooks without iTunes. I'm away from my laptop with iTunes where my iPhone syncs, so that's not an option at the moment.
Is there anyway to add an ePub book to iBooks without iTunes?

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved Wednesday a rule that directs national securities exchanges to adopt listing standards for public company boards of directors and compensation advisors.
The new rule, required by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, requires exchange listing standards to address:
- The independence of the members on a compensation committee;
- The committee's authority to retain compensation advisors;
- The committee's consideration of the independence of any compensation advisers; and
- The committee's responsibility for the appointment, compensation, and oversight of the work of any compensation advisor.
Once an exchange's new listing standards are in effect, a listed company must meet the standards in order for its shares to continue trading on that exchange, the SEC says.
"This rule will help to enhance the board's decision-making process on executive compensation matters, particularly the selection, engagement and oversight of compensation advisors, and will provide more transparency with respect to conflicts of interest of consultants engaged by boards," said SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro, in a statement.
Section 952 of Dodd-Frank requires the SEC to direct the exchanges to adopt certain "listing standards" relating to the independence of the members on a compensation committee, the committee's authority to retain compensation advisors, and the committee's responsibility for the appointment, compensation and work of any compensation adviser.
The SEC says it also amended its proxy disclosure rules to require new disclosures from companies about their use of compensation consultants and conflicts of interest.
The new rule and amendments will take effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. As the SEC explains, no later than 90 days after effectiveness, each exchange that lists equity securities must propose listing standards that comply with the new rule. The new listing standards must be approved by the Commission within one year of the new rule becoming effective.

Trove of Amistad letters will stay in Connecticut
The Connecticut Historical Society, buoyed by an outpouring of community support, has won a bidding war for a trove of 19th century letters relating to the Amistad incident.
The $66,000 purchase guarantees that researchers and the public will have access to the 94 letters, written by the daughter of an abolitionist family in Farmington, for generations to come.
"We're still kind of stunned," said Richard Malley, head of research and collections for the society. "This is unprecedented in our experience."
Last week, Swann Auction Galleries in New York City offered up an assortment of Amistad items, including a rare, first edition pamphlet about the celebrated Amistad case and an engraving of the Amistad captives' leader, Sengbe Pieh, also was known as Cinque.
Most prized of all was a cache of letters written by Charlotte Cowles of Farmington, whose family took in one of the Africans and who mentioned them in several of her letters.
"We've had people calling since the day of the auction, saying, 'OK, when might we be able to look at this material.' It clearly resonates," Malley said. "This collection is so rich in giving us a sense of what was going on in a small town in Connecticut in the 1830s and '40s."
The Amistad case has long been cited as a key development in U.S. civil rights history.
In 1839, off the coast of Cuba, a group of African prisoners staged a revolt aboard the ship, La Amistad. They demanded to be taken to Africa, but instead were seized near Long Island and jailed in New Haven.
The U.S. Supreme Court eventually ruled in the Africans' favor, giving them their freedom, but they remained in Connecticut for an extended period while trying to raise the money to travel back to Africa.
Malley said the historical society's winning bid for the letters was actually a collaboration. The bid included pledges gathered by the Farmington Historical Society, a donation by a former CHS trustee and a donation from Farmington Bank.
"The sense of pride in local history, on short notice, was remarkable," Malley said.
The pre-auction appraisal of the letters valued them at $30,000 to $40,000. Malley said at least two other parties were bidding on the Cowles letters. Malley was bidding via phone.
"There was a very vigorous back and forth, even before I got a bid in," Malley said.
He could not give a date for when the letters would be available for researchers to examine. However, he stressed the process would be as swift as possible.
"We know there are lots of people very interested in seeing this material," Malley said.

Verkade family
Verkade, a Dutch family, found since the 15th century in the province of South Holland, where they were farmers; in the 18th century a few had small businesses such as bakeries and cheese shops. They all belonged to the Reformed Church. Pieter Verkade (Nootdorp, 1767-Vlaardingen, 1848) broke with the family tradition on two points: he left the farm to become a public notary, and he left the Reformed Church to join the Mennonites. His grandson was Ericus Gerhardus Verkade (Vlaardingen, 1935-Hilversum, 1907), who was the founder of the "De Ruyter" bakery at Zaandam. He was a faithful member of the church and served as deacon of the Zaandam-West congregation in 1864-73 and 1875-76; in 1876 he moved to Amsterdam where he was a deacon 1877-81. His nephew Cornelis Pieter Verkade (Harlingen, 1864-Haarlem, 1934), under whose leading the bakery at Zaandam developed into the famous Verkade Factories, producing cookies, chocolates, and other confections, was also a deacon of the Zaandam-West congregation, serving 1895-1900 and 1901-10.

A collection of scholarly works about individual liberty and free markets. A project of Liberty Fund, Inc.
The anti-federalists were a group who had reservations about ratifying the U.S. Constitution when it was first proposed. Some thought the Articles of Confederation were sufficient to unite the sovereign American states; others were concerned that the rights of the states and of individuals needed additional protection and so supported a Bill of Rights; others were concerned that the Federalists wanted to recreate a head of state with powers too much like those of the British monarch against whom they had just fought a war of independence.

SURF: Firewire Launches TechnoGrain to Encourage Sustainability in Surfing
February 21, 2013
Firewire Launches TechnoGrain to Encourage Sustainability in Surfing
In the ongoing pursuit of greener products with lower environmental impacts, Firewire has developed our most eco-friendly technology to date. Working in conjunction with Australian master cabinetmaker Grant Newby, Firewire has taken 21st century surfboard manufacturing techniques and combined them with a centuries old material…wood!
Built using Firewire's proven 'sandwich construction' process, TechnoGrain resembles our popular Future Shapes Technology (FST) but with different materials. The top, bottom and parabolic rails are comprised of sustainably sourced Paulownia wood, which, unlike other types of natural materials, is very stable in wet conditions. Coupled with its durability, this water resistance allows us to dramatically reduce the amount of fiberglass and resin used, which yields a tremendously light, high-performance surfboard.
The exterior of all TechnoGrain boards are sealed with an Entropy bio-resin hot coat on the deck and bottom as well as a small fiberglass rail lap. The Paulownia exterior is bonded to the EPS core using the bio-resin under vacuum and a single layer of lightweight cloth is added under the top deckskin for increased compression strength.
"Granted its not quite a 'cradle to cradle' sustainably built surfboard, but in our opinion TechnoGrain is a significant step towards that goal", said Firewire CEO Mark Price. "Perhaps the most promising aspect of this tech, beyond its eco-cred, is that a number of our team riders say it's the best performing technology that we offer. We believe that the only way eco-boards are going to gain significant market share is by offering surfers comparable performance with little or no increase in price. TechnoGrain has both of these critical attributes".
Team rider and big wave charger Timmy Reyes is one who has completely endorsed the tech. "When I first saw the board I was blown away. Definitely one of the coolest boards I have ever seen. The grain gives it kind of an organic appearance that you don't get from the traditional white board. Then I picked one up and I knew it was on!"
Timmy continues "I have been riding the tech consistently now for a couple months from 2ft to 15ft faces and I can do no wrong. It paddles like a champ and the feedback the boards give you when you are on a wave is incredible. They are so lively and responsive. Overall, the TechnoGrain boards have been some of the best boards I have ever ridden."
TechnoGrain will launch in the form of the Spitfire and Baked Potato in early May in the US and AUS markets with Europe getting their first run in quarter 4 of 2013. Additional models to follow.
"Firewire believes that refinements to the shape of today's modern surfboards can only produce incremental performance benefits. Exponential improvements in performance require the ongoing development of new materials and construction methods, which, in turn, will fuel new, design opportunities. In addition, with the increased eco-consciousness of today's consumer, Firewire is constantly refining our raw materials to decrease our carbon footprint below the current levels, which are already 50 times less than conventional polyurethane boards"

text: PROBLEM: An international hotel chain with a location in the vicinity of London's Heathrow Airport was experiencing slippery surfaces on an uncovered outdoor staircase. This staircase was frequently used by hotel staff as well as guests to get to a parking area. The stairs were covered in a steel checker-plate material which became extremely slippery when wet. This was a considerable safety concern as London experiences approximately 29 inches of rain per year. The wet surfaces, coupled with the fact that guests who used the stairs were often carrying luggage, made correcting this problem a very important priority for the hotel. SOLUTION: Hotel management selected Rust-Oleum Industrial Brands SafeStep™ Step Covers and Landing Covers for its slip resistance, durability and corrosion resistant qualities. SafeStep™ products are a collection of anti-slip step covers, step edges, landing covers and sheeting made from virtually indestructible fiberglass reinforced nylon. They install in a few easy steps, provide lasting protection and high visibility. Rust-Oleum was able to provide an anti-slip solution that didn't require a long installation process that would have inconvenienced guests and employees. SafeStep™ was in 1 day and could be walked on immediately. The hotel was able to improve the safety of the stairwell with a product that will last for years to come while minimizing the disruption of hotel operations.

News: 11 March 2016 - Forum Rules Current Moderators - DarkSol, KingMike, MathOnNapkins, Azkadellia, Danke
No rush, but I'm dying to see the actual translation when you get back to Baron. I was playing the re-translation recently. Complain the original translation was butchered and then do that to it...
As far I know the saves are compatible, but things like EyeDrops, Antidoes or whathever that is not present in the (U) version will be called "Dummy". It's quite funny to see.What are you referring too ?And I'm no expert, but after seeing Tom's comparison, it's safe to say the official translation was definitely not butchered.
I think when the patch was made, it looked fine in emulators at the time. But as emulation improved it turned out that the patch didn't work quite right. That's been the case for many old patches, actually.
To be honest I don't have much experience emulating PSX games, plus it's already a ton of work doing these three games alone. Well, that, and I wanted to compare the original releases. But now that you've planted the idea in my mind it would be interesting to compare the SNES and PSX one as a project of its own.Actually, that should be pretty easy for anyone to do, really - don't even need to know Japanese!
I can't seem to find a good site that has all the known data locations inside the FFII SNES ROM (or FFIV)... Would anyone here happen to have some useful documents? I'm hoping to delve into things in a technical level at some point but I don't want to have to reinvent the wheel.
Oops, I got logged out of the forums a while back and never logged back in. For now, I'll hold off on the intricate inner workings of the game, but it's something I really look forward to. I'm kind of curious to know if stat growth was changed for anyone, for example, although I doubt it.Anyway, I just posted the page about Mt. Ordeals: http://matotree.com/localization/final-fantasy-iv/mt-ordeals/ I'm more and more surprised at how weird of a mess the J2E patch actually is - I'm almost considering doing my own basic translation of it but then I'm reminded of this: http://xkcd.com/927/Still, if anyone's interested in doing FFIV from scratch with minimal hacking (no VWF, no fancy fonts, but I assume naming screens and such will need work) then let me know.

Jessica Osorio
Community Engagement Manager
Born in Cali, Colombia, raised in Fort Lauderdale, Florida! Reborn as a FL Gator in 2005 and once again in 2013 as a Mozillian!
Upon graduating from the University of Florida, with a degree in Public Relations, I started working in Advertising & Marketing at Zimmerman Advertising.
I was later discovered by Nobox, a digital/social marketing agency based out of Miami and long-time partner of Mozilla. I immediately began assisting with Mozilla projects but it wasn't until 2013 that I hit the ground running with the Firefox OS global launch initiatives, where I began working directly with the Mozilla Community Engagement team, and was adopted into the Mozilla family 100% (you know... LDAP and all)! Woot!
In April 2014, I was presented with an amazing opportunity to come in as the Community Engagement Managers' backfill while she is on maternity leave.
Today, I'm serving as a Community Engagement Manager, striving to make an impact on the project and hoping to stay on the team for the long run!
Key focus areas: General Community Engagement, Word of Mouth Marketing via Mozilla supporters, Firefox OS Community Generated Marketing, Firefox Student Ambassadors
To date, it's been the biggest honor to work with such an incredible group of people from around the world. The global collaboration at Mozilla is astonishing and inspiring and I hope to be here, working alongside these amazing Mozillians, for years to come!

The 2012 Rice Business Plan Competition (RBPC) crowned NuMat Technologies from Northwestern University as the world champion startup company Saturday night for its invention of a nanomaterial that can store gases just like a sponge soaks up water. The Northwestern team took home $874,300 of the more than $1.55 million in cash and prizes presented at the awards banquet.
NuMat Technologies is currently in discussions with some major chemical and technology and transportation companies to commercialize its nanomaterials. One potential application is for natural-gas tanks used in motor vehicles. The material stores gases at lower pressure and thereby reduces infrastructure costs and increases design flexibility, which allows tanks to be designed around current automobile underpinnings.
This is a record year for prizes at the RBPC, with The GOOSE Society of Texas tripling its prize purse from $150,000 to $450,000 as Jack Gill and Bob Brockman handed out the grand-prize check to the winning team. The competition's grand prize was valued at $874,300 and included $775,000 in equity investments and $99,300 of business services, including office space, marketing support and business mentoring.
In its 12th year, the world's richest and largest business plan competition brought 42 teams from around the globe to Rice University to pitch their new technology business plans to more than 250 judges who themselves are successful venture capital investors, entrepreneurs and business leaders. More than 600 people attended the banquet that marked the conclusion of the three-day RBPC, which was hosted by the Rice Alliance for Technology and Entrepreneurship and Jesse H. Jones Graduate School of Business at Rice University.
Insperity, itself a Houston success story founded in 1986 that provides an array of human resources and business solutions to more than 100,000 clients and customers, served as the title sponsor for the third year in a row. Fortune magazine covered the competition again this year and will feature the winners, teams and competition in the May 7 issue of the magazine and on CNNMoney.com.
In addition to the grand prize from The GOOSE Society of Texas, the overall winners took home the $125,000 OWL Investment Prize, led by Robert Winter and Susan Hardin, and supported by Fulbright & Jaworksi, PKF Texas and BBVA Compass Bank. This year 25 judges and investors came together to support the 2012 OWL Investment Prize.
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) marked its first year as a sponsor and demonstrated that clean energy innovation and entrepreneurship are efforts that both the public and private sectors can, and must, support. Representing the Obama administration's Startup America Initiative, Karina Edmond from DOE spoke to the importance of business plan competitions in driving technical innovation and entrepreneurship forward and handed out the inaugural $100,000 DOE Clean Energy Prize.
The teams competed in five categories — life sciences, information technology, energy, green technology, social ventures and other technologies — in the April 12-14 event. The teams presented 15-minute business plans and competed in a rapid-fire 60-second elevator pitch contest on the first night or the competition.
The Northwestern team's grand prize includes:
- $450,000 Investment Prize from The GOOSE ("Grand Order of Successful Entrepreneurs") Society of Texas, comprising Bob Brockman, Rod Canion, Nancy Chang, Arthur A. Ciocca, Dino Cortopassi, Terry M. Giles, Jack M. Gill, Michael Holthouse, Eric Pulaski and Dan Steppe.
- $125,000 OWL Investment Prize.
- $100,000 Life Science Award from Opportunity Houston and the Greater Houston Partnership.
- One year of incubation services at the Houston Technology Center and a year of computing support provided by 1-Service ($35,000).
- Marketing and design services provided by BrandExtract and the Padgett Group ($25,000).
- Website development and hosting services for one year provided by ContentActive ($30,000).
- Treasury services provided by Bank of America ($5,000).
- Best Energy Team Award sponsored by Energy Ventures ($3,000).
- Roundtrip airline tickets on United Airlines ($3,000).
- Business plan software provided by Palo Alto Software.
- Opportunity to ring the closing bell at the NASDAQ Stock Market in New York.

Connecticut convicts face tough time finding housing; hearings intended to help
HARTFORD -- Each month in Connecticut, more than 1,500 convicts are released from state prisons and face more hard time trying to get housing and jobs because of their criminal records. About 79 percent of them are expected to be rearrested within five years, according to a Correction Department study released earlier this year.
Some state officials believe that recidivism rate would be lower if Connecticut enacted a law making it easier for convicts to get homes and jobs, but others are adamantly opposed to giving criminals special rights.
The Connecticut Sentencing Commission will hold a public hearing on such a law Thursday at the Legislative Office Building in Hartford. The proposal is one of several the panel is considering recommending to state lawmakers for next year's legislative session.
"If you make it virtually impossible for someone to get a job, then you make it a virtual certainty that they're going to commit more crimes," said Michael Lawlor, state undersecretary for criminal justice policy and vice chairman of the Sentencing Commission. "If you don't have a place to live, it makes it more likely."
The proposed law would allow judges and the state Board of Pardons and Paroles to issue "certificates of rehabilitation" to convicts who don't pose a public danger. It would require public housing authorities, employers and state licensing agencies to consider those certificates while evaluating job and housing applicants, but not mandate that their applications be approved.
A similar bill with stronger mandates died in this year's legislative session after housing officials worried about being forced to accept convicts into their complexes.
"What is the concern? The safety of the residents and staff, especially the seniors and people with disabilities," said Scott Bertrand, executive director of the Enfield Housing Authority.
Bertrand said housing officials already consider criminal backgrounds, so he wasn't quite sure why a new law is needed.
The Connecticut Business & Industry Association, which represents 10,000 companies in the state, doesn't oppose such legislation. In fact, the group has been trying to get companies to hire ex-cons, said Peter Gioia, vice president and an economist with the CBIA.
"We realize that a lot of these people are coming out (of prison) and a key way to keep them from going back is to get them a job -- at least people who are nonviolent and non-sex offenders," Gioia said.
Virginia Downing, 62, of New Haven, said she has had trouble finding affordable housing and a full-time job because of her 1998 felony drug possession conviction that sent her to prison for six months.
She has worked as a part-time crossing guard for New Haven schools the past six years. She said she got certified as a nurse's aide in 2006, but her conviction kept her from getting a job in that profession.
"I have fully paid my debt to society," she told a legislative committee earlier this year. "I have not had any criminal involvement in 14 years. It is not reasonable that I should continue to be burdened by collateral consequences."
Many states in recent years have changed employment practices, enacted policies to restore civil rights and expanded access to public benefits for convicts, according to a study released this year by The Sentencing Project, a nonprofit group in Washington, D.C., that does research and advocacy on criminal justice issues.
Last year, legislatures in at least 29 states adopted policies that may contribute to prison population decreases and reduce the consequences of convictions, the study said.
An estimated 13 million Americans have felony convictions that can bar them from jobs, public benefits, voting and other activities, according to The Sentencing Project.

This accelerator is an early prototype of what eventually became the Cyberstorm PPC. Unlike the Cyberstorm PPC which was eventually released, this version was designed to be plugged into the 060 socket of the Cyberstorm Mk-II. The 060 which was removed from the Cyberstorm Mk-II is then installed onto the PowerPC board, along with an additional PowerPC processor. This device is reported to actually work with WarpOS providing you install it with the "Developer Board" option. It may also work with PowerUp, but this has not been confirmed.

Okay, wow, that took a lot of time to upload this pictures. Some of them are from the photographer so I had to upload them individually. Anyway, I couldn't care less about the order. All that matters is Kristen is married! I am so so so so happy for her.
She and Dayne had their reception on Thursday night and then the sealing and lunch were on Friday. It seemed weird in the beginning but I think it worked out pretty well.
Love that Mckinley is looking at me in this pic!
Outside the temple waiting for pics to start.
I stayed and helped Kristen the whole time with pictures since she was switching back and forth from her coat (that she made) and her veil and stuff. I had so much fun staying with them and chatting with the married photographer couple. (Pointe Digital, they did an awesome job.)
Check out that blue blue sky!
Mckinley looked so cute in this little dress that Kristen made for her 2 days before the wedding. She loved wearing it too!
Family pic.
Best friends.

Culture of insecurity blamed for HMRC data loss
Official reports lambast UK.gov over data breaches
Posted in Policy, 25th June 2008 11:35 GMT
A culture of insecurity rather than mistakes by any single official has been blamed for the HMRC data loss debacle, an official inquiry is expected to report on Wednesday.
The Poynter report will highlight poor security practices at the government agency leading up to the loss of discs contained child benefit information on 25 million people in October last year.
Chancellor Alistair Darling told Parliament in November that a "junior official" had posted the encrypted discs to the National Audit Office, contrary to "strict security rules". However the report by management consultant Keiran Poynter is expected to highlight much wider problems at the agency.
Ahead of the publication of the report, net security firm Symantec said that it had implications for private business as well as government departments. According to Symantec, one in four data breaches in the UK occurs within Government departments. It reckons data breaches cost up to £47 per compromised record.
"More than 95 per cent of data loss is inadvertent or accidental. The recommendations in the Poynter Report have been given to avoid this scale of loss, accidental or otherwise, happening again. All organisations which hold customer data need to be very clear with its policies and have a very strict data loss prevention programme in place to manage and control the amount of data it holds," said Richard Archdeacon, director of Symantec Global Security.
The Poynter report is one of four reports on government data security due out on Wednesday. The Independent Police Complaints Commission is due to report its take on the on the HMRC breach.
A separate Cabinet Office report will examine the wider issue of how government departments handle data. The report is expected to endorse moves to allow the Information Commissioner to make spot checks on government departments and agencies, the BBC reports.
Finally a Ministry of Defence investigation is expected to blame slack security practices for the loss of a laptop containing details on 600,000 potential armed forces recruits, AP adds.
The Telegraph has published a handy timeline on events surrounding the HMRC data loss scandal here.
We'll have more on the Cabinet Office report later today.®

Starbucks Joins Fiscal Cliff Fray With a Message
Starbucks plans to serve up some mild political agitation with its coffee in Washington later this week, by asking baristas in about 125 D.C. and Virginia stores to symbolically support that effort by writing "Come Together" on every coffee cup on Thursday and Friday. WSJ's Julie Jargon reports.
