20080252014	Game and method for teaching - A game for teaching reading includes a deck of cards having matching pairs of cards that rhyme with one another. Four cards are dealt to each player to create a hand of cards for each player. The remaining cards are placed in a “draw” pile. Players check for matches and discard them. A first player looks at the cards in his hand and asks a second player if the second players hand consists of one of the cards in the first player's hand. If the second player has the card, she passes it to the first player who makes a pair and discards them into a discard pile. Otherwise, the first player draws an additional card from the “draw” pile of cards. Play continues when the second player asks another player for a card that matches one of the cards in her hand.	10-16-2008

20090276526	Access Control List Endpoint Implementation - A method, system, and computer program product for providing direct communications between FCoE endpoint devices within the same fibre channel network zone. A direct fibre channel (DFC) utility provides an FCoE stack with an exclusive ability to define an Ethertype within an ethertype field of an Ethernet packet with “FCoE”. In addition, the DFC utility enables storage of access control lists (ACLs) containing allowed destination addresses and allowed source addresses within the adapter of an FCoE endpoint. Additionally, the DFC utility initiates an exchange of messages with an Ethernet switch to determine a feasibility of establishing direct connections between endpoints. In particular, the DFC utility determines whether the Ethernet switch supports FCoE ACL checking. Further, the DFC utility creates a zone ID for the FCoE endpoint device. The DFC utility allows direct communication between FCoE endpoints within the same fibre zone.	11-05-2009
