Last year, my best friend asked me to join him in Hawaii to celebrate his birthday. He was going to be staying at a beach house in Paia on the north shore of Hawaii. Since it was still a bit chilly where I live in Salt Lake City, the answer was easy... "yes"!
I've been coming to Hawaii since I was 10 years old...at first it was always the island of Oahu, but over the years I've been able to visit almost all the islands – Kauai (where I own a timeshare), Oahu, Maui and even Lanai.
Our flight landed in Kahului and the beach town of Paia is only about 10-15 minutes east along the north shore. We arrived at night, so I really couldn't see anything, but I could sure hear the surf from the beach house we were staying at. There's something magical, almost mesmerizing about the listening to the ocean surf, especially at night. For me, it easily lulls me to sleep. My first morning was beautiful, the ocean was only 50 feet off the back porch and there were shallow tidal pools where the locals loved to go fishing.
When I go on vacation I love to go off the beaten path and Paia is exactly my kind of place – a local surfing town with VERY friendly people and lots of little, funky shops and restaurants. Some of my favorites were the Paia Fish Market - try the mahi mahi burger with onion rings. Cafe Des Amis serves up great crepes with a fun, outdoor patio. No matter what, take the time to check out Mana Foods. It's the local health food/grocery store and it has the coolest items that you won't find anywhere else. It seems almost everything in the store is organic – really fun. And if you go during the day you should check out their hot and cold deli. We bought a bunch of the buffalo wings...seriously some of the best wings I've ever had! Finally, perhaps the most famous restaurant on the island is just a couple of miles east of Paia. Mamma's Fish House has been right on the beach for about 40 years and the food is amazingly good. The atmosphere is hard to beat and the service was impeccable. I ordered the wild boar and mahi mahi – fantastic! My friends ordered the macadamia nut crusted mahi mahi stuffed with crab - mmmmm good! Your meal starts with fresh baked bread and a complimentary "shot" of the soup of the day. Mamma's Fish House may be pricey, but it is well worth it!
Another great spot on the island is Wailea. There are three or four great beaches but my favorite was Big Beach – just ask any of the locals how to get there. Look for local food trucks selling everything from shaved ice to shrimp scampi along the way. Big Beach is just that... BIG! It stretches along the west coast for almost half a mile - the sand is soft and the waves are perfect for boogie boarding or body surfing.
Also on the west coast, but further north, is Ka'anapali. There are a lot of beautiful beaches here and my favorite place is Leoda's Kitchen and Pie Shop. It's about five miles before you get to town, look for it on the right, and it is HEAVEN! Yes, their pies are incredibly good, but so are their sandwiches and pot pies...everything is amazing!
I LOVE Maui - hope you do too!! Come back to the RCI Blog this week to read stories and see photos from RCI subscribing members who have also visited Maui. Trust me, these photos will not disappoint!

Dustin Hoffman to meet film lovers at Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley
3:08pm Tuesday 15th January 2013 in News By Natalie O'Neill
Barnet is not the normal hangout for A-list actors better associated with the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.
But actor Dustin Hoffman will be swapping his shades for winter woolies as he makes his way to meet film lovers at Phoenix Cinema in High Road, East Finchley, this Friday.
He will be taking part in a question and answer session about his life and career, which has included seven Academy Award nominations for acting, of which he won two for Kramer vs Kramer and Rain Man, as well as starring roles in hit films including The Graduate and Hook.
The discussion will be followed by a chance to see Dustin Hoffman's directorial debut Quartet.
Tickets for the screening sold out in less than two hours after it was announced on the cinema's Twitter feed.

Buyer beware......I am very disappointed. I cannot help but feel a bit duped by the way this product was marketed. Though written in the description, I would never have guessed that this "tower shelf" would not HAVE the SHELVES!! I was under the impression that I was buying what was shown in the picture. All I bought was a frame. The four shelves shown in the picture are $96 extra. Overstock, if you are to be fair to your customers the name of this product should be: " John Louis Stand Alone Shelf Frame (shelves not included)" OR require that John Louis submit a picture that does not include the four shelves that are currently in the picture.
This item is very misleading. From the picture, one would expect to get the full tower - as pictured, shelves and all. However, for ***, what you're actually purchasing is the 4 walls of this towers with no shelves. If you want the shelves, it would cost you approximately another *** for 4 shelves, which would bring the total for this complete tower to *** - quite expensive for just a wooden tower with no hanging poles. Otherwise, wood is very sturdy and nice looking, but I find it extremely annoying to undo the package only to find, you're still missing parts to complete the rest of your wardrobe, which is why this listing warrants 1 star.
This is a great add on to the John Louis closet system. Just remember, you must order the shelves separately.
Very good quality product and looks very nice. I didnt realize that the drawer kit isnt for this tower though and ordered 3 drawers which I had to return to overstock.
this is the standard tower, purchased the deluxe system initally,then added this for extra space, the shelves did not have the metal pens included, luckly had some from the deluxe system so did not have to contact customer service. Husband put up and together, was a 4hr project,, a handy man put the deluxe tower system up and took him 4-5 hrs, You pay for what you get and the deluxe system looks better and has the options for drawers and doors, which we have. The tower would work ok for simple things, but is not cheap ,considering the time and value.
This is my second one to add on to a John Louis closet system I have. Adds character to your closet. Much better than the closet systems you can get at Lowes or Home Depot.
I agree with other comments. It is a "tower shelf" that has NO SHELVES. The description says it has 2 shelves - but what they really mean is that you get the top and the bottom panel - so you are purchasing a frame. I am extremely aggrevated with this product.
Be sure you know if this does or does not come with shelves, and whether it is 12 or 16 inches in depth. (IT may MATTER to you)
This is a really quality product. It's real wood and not just particle board. It actually smells like real wood. Thanks to the other reviewers I realized that the shelfs do not come with the tower so I made sure to order them separately. It should really state that better right on the image.
I really like this product. The material appears to be some type of maple with choice of either a honey or dark color finish. The parts are beautifully finished and the towers assemble very easily. I like to mount the towers off the floor but resting on the top edge of the closet base board. That way it is easy to vacuum underneath. The modular design allows one to adjust the dimensions to fit your particular application (I shortened the height of one of mine by trimming about a foot off the base and re-attaching the base oversize-shelf using screws into the vertical struts). The wall-mounting hardware worked perfectly. I am not a fan of the twist-cam assembly systems (the aluminum cams break too often for me) but these work reasonably well here. As an added improvement, though, I beef up the joints by adding a single screw at each joint - - I find a 2" or 2.25" #9 auger tip finish screw (very small, star or square-drive head) in a one sixteenth" pilot hole works very well. It should be noted that you will need at least one additional shelf kit. I have two systems mounted right now and I plan to add the same in two more closets. Great system!

Sweetwater boutique claims fame with custom boots seen on hit television show
Updated On: Apr 05 2013 09:44:27 PM CDT
The Big Country may not be considered the fashion capital of the world, but boutique owners in Sweetwater are changing that.
The owners of Paradise Boutique are celebrating after a pair of their custom made boots made a splash on the Fox Television show American Idol this week.
A few weeks ago, the Idol entourage of contestant Janelle Arthur contacted Jacqi Martinez and Sheretta Johnson; she wanted the boots to wear during the "Rocka and Roll" segment of the competition.
"When she came out on stage I couldn't even hear, i was like Ahhhh! And it showed the boots up close and everyone was like 'Oh my God,'" said Johnson.
The sisters opened the boutique a decade ago. After their parents retired, their Mother encouraged them to open a retail store.
"We've always been glitzy and blingy probably because our Mom loved jewelery and sparkles," said Martinez.
After ten years of struggles and successes, the women saw their hard work pay off.
"I cried the whole time because this was not an overnight thing for us," said Martinez. "There were so many blood sweat and tears that came before that."
Orders keep pouring in for the custom made boots.
"It's been crazy! The phones have been ringing off the hook!" said Johnson.
Getting a pair for yourself may take awhile, as the boots are covered in Swarovski crystals. The owners say that's not an easy task.
"It is time consuming, done by hand. Each crystal put on one by one," said Martinez. They have a wait list that continues to grow.
Because every pair is different, the prices on the boots vary, from the hundreds to the thousands.
For more information about ordering, search the store on Facebook at Paradise Boutiqu (no 'e').

After the Fall
As the number of injured professional athletes rises, compensation is finally catching up.
Kenneth Shouler
Posted: February 1, 2001
It started as just an ordinary preseason game. But one play made it anything but ordinary. The Oakland Raiders were playing the New England Patriots on August 12, 1978. Patriots wide receiver Darryl Stingley ran a slant pattern across the middle that left him an easy mark as he reached for an overthrown pass. Waiting for him was defensive back Jack Tatum, who considered himself the hardest hitter in football, meaner than the Chicago Bears' Dick Butkus, and the greatest outlaw to wear Oakland's villainous silver and black. Tatum considered two alternatives. "I could have attempted to intercept," he recalled in his book They Call Me Assassin, "but because of what the owners expect of me when they give me my paycheck, I automatically reacted to the situation by going for an intimidating hit." He once said, "My best hits border on felonious assault." Tatum's shoulders met his prey full bore, breaking the third and fourth vertebrae in Stingley's neck.
"I wasn't expected to live," Stingley says today. A trainer with good intentions but poor technique yanked his helmet off while he lay on the field. His head was not immobilized as he was wheeled off the bumpy Oakland Coliseum field "like a bouncy figure on a string." After two weeks in the hospital he had developed "all the respiratory complications that are so common with these injuries. It wasn't until November, three months later, that I was out of the woods." The incident left him a quadriplegic. Stingley, then 26, was a first-round draft pick out of Purdue five years before. What would become of him?
Stingley's injury was devastating, haunting, final. But it was also the exception. Few of the 17,000 men who have played in the National Football League since 1920 have been crippled for life. But football -- and other professional sports -- are rife with serious injuries that end careers and affect the quality of players' lives.
Since March 1999, serious injuries have leveled prominent athletes in the four major American team sports: basketball, football, baseball and hockey. Jayson Williams, the New Jersey Nets' power forward in the second year of a six-year contract worth $85 million, broke his foot in practice last spring while attempting to come back from a broken leg the year before. His money was guaranteed, but not his career: he retired last June. That same month, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Steve Young announced his retirement after enduring the effects of a fourth concussion suffered the previous October. Last March, Atlanta Braves right-hander John Smoltz succumbed to a torn medial collateral ligament in his right elbow after being disabled twice in 1998 and twice again in 1999. The 33-year-old missed the entire 2000 season. During hockey's Eastern Conference Finals last May, as Eric Lindros, the Philadelphia Flyers' two-time all-star, crossed the New Jersey Devils' blue line, Scott Stevens clocked him with a shoulder-to-head check. Lindros fell, his head bounced on the ice, and he suffered his sixth concussion. The fate of his career is still uncertain.
The Stingley injury had such lasting significance in the NFL that the compensation for active players who suffer a "total and permanent" disability is now commonly known as "the Stingley benefit." But what happens to other injured NFL players, and injured players in other sports? Ultimately it depends upon the kind of contract they signed, their length of service, and the sport they play.
NFL contracts are never guaranteed. A player who, say, signs a five-year deal for $30 million, with a $9 million signing bonus (bonuses are typically about a third of the value of the contract), and has a career-ending injury in his first preseason game after signing, will get to keep his signing bonus, which is guaranteed. But he will not get the dollar value of the full contract, although he has the option of filing an injury grievance to get a settlement on top of his bonus.
Ex-New York Jets wide receiver Al Toon, who had signed a three-year, $4.2 million contract nine months before, retired in 1992 after one too many concussions. The Jets paid him the remainder of his $1.375 million salary for the 1992 season. Players like Toon, who left the game because of injuries but were not disabled to the degree that they couldn't pursue other vocations after their careers, receive what is called a line-of-duty disability. (Players injured more severely, who are unable to pursue other work after their injuries, receive the higher, career- ending disability payout -- the "Stingley benefit.") Toon's temporary disability payout was a microscopic $600 a month in 1993, the first year after his injury. It then went up to $1,000 a month in 1994, and to $1,680 a month from mid-1994 through 1997, and then it stopped. (In the NFL, line-of-duty disability payouts expire after four years.) Fortunately, Toon, 37, now living outside Madison, Wisconsin, is not only able to work but is flourishing. He has a real estate license and a degree in economics, and he invests in real estate, hotels and fast food franchises. "The retirement plan doesn't kick in until 55, [but] you can take it early at 45," he says. "I'm not relying on that."
Though sidelined in October 1999 with his fourth concussion in three years, Steve Young received all of his $7.5 million salary for that year. Young underwent a series of medical tests but was never placed on injured reserve. Upon announcing his retirement the following June, he also drew a $1 million roster bonus from San Francisco. Because of the years Young played, from 1985 to 1999, he can apply for a line-of-duty benefit of $4,070 a month. He has four years to apply but has yet to do so. In addition, he receives $160,000 annually in severance pay.
While contracts are not guaranteed, the increase in benefits by the NFL Player's Association shows an understanding of the dangers inherent in the sport. By 1993, NFL players who had totally disabling, degenerative conditions were covered by the pension plan. Former Oakland center Jim Otto, who is on permanent degenerative benefits for various injuries, receives $110,000 a year for the rest of his life. This standard benefit is paid to players 12 years out of the league, or younger than 45, whichever is the latter. Before 1993, inactive players with disabilities were receiving just $1,000 a month. Since 1993, players who were active at the time of their injuries, like Stingley, get $234,000 a year for life.
"In years prior to 1993, they [the NFL] would simply not recognize the football causation [of injuries]," says Miki Yaras-Davis, the Player's Association director of benefits. "Darryl Stingley was the reason we always looked at total and permanent active [benefits]. He was the first one that had such a dramatic, televised incident."

Plan for new bridge over Cherwell divides opinion (From The Oxford Times)

Plan for new bridge over Cherwell divides opinion
7:00pm Friday 18th January 2013 in News By Reg Little, Oxford Times Chief Reporter. Call me on 01865 425434
A NEW bridge across the river Cherwell in Christ Church Meadow is being proposed by Christ Church.
The college has submitted a planning application to build The Jubilee Bridge, which will link the meadow to the college's playing fields.
The 28m long footbridge would be built on the site of an historic ferry crossing point of the Cherwell.
But while members of the public will be able to enjoy views from the steel bridge, only Christ Church students and staff would be able to cross it. A gate will block access to the sports ground side of the river.
James Lawrie, the Christ Church treasurer, said: "The Jubilee Bridge replaces an historic static punt that fell into disuse. We wish to reinstate the link to enable our students to go from Christ Church Meadow to our sports grounds and also our student accommodation in the Iffley Road.
"We think that it is an elegant modern design and does not impose itself on the landscape. It is a steel bridge with a timber walkway. What we are planning will allow the public access to the bridge itself to enjoy views up and down the river."
He said a locked gate would block public access to the sports ground and tennis courts for reasons of security, with the facilities shared with children at Magdalen College School.
The bridge will not be open for cyclists, with cycles not allowed in the Meadow. At the proposed bridge site remnants of the ferry survive with stone steps visible descending into the water.
The bridge would have a minimum 10ft clearance between the high water line and the underside of the bridge to allow boats to pass beneath, in one of the busiest stretches of the Cherwell for punting.
It is named the Jubilee Bridge in honour of the Queen, who has a close link with Christ Church as Visitor of the college.
The college declined to reveal the cost of the bridge, which it hopes could be completed by the beginning of Trinity Term in late April.
But the bridge is not being welcomed by all university sportsmen. One hockey player from Keble College told The Oxford Student that the bridge was "a cheeky shortcut" adding, "It would not be any hardship to allow all university students to use this bridge."
The application is due to be determined by officers on February 1.
Peter Thompson, chairman of Oxford Civic Society, said: "We received a presentation from Christ Church. The design of the bridge could be viewed as an enhancement of the location and re-establishes it as a crossing point."
But he said the bridge should be opened up to the public, to allow the possibility of a new public footpath being created along the banks of the Cherwell, running from Christ Church Meadow to the end of Jackdaw Lane. It could be achieved by having a gate a few yards away from the bridge, he maintained.
Mr Thompson said: "One of the benefits of the bridge is the possibility of opening up this footpath."

If they really need to build it, then it ought to be open to the public. There is always a way of locking the access to either school top ensure security.

Gosh, it's s-o difficult, isn't it? Thousands of homeless in Oxford and some of the worst levels of child deprivation in the Country, and all poor old Christ Church has to worry about whether its new footbridge will get planning permission.

Journal: My Friend Goes for Humor Noir
As usual, friend, you did a nice job of making the conservatives and the pro-death lobby look silly. I wasn't planning to touch it myself.
In other words, your malarkey about the tea party being somehow in pursuit of "fiscal accountability" is malarkey at best. Your party wants only to bring more wealth to their favored class
You make it sound like the Tea Part wrote the Communist Manifesto, or something.
That is as far off as claiming the New Testament exists solely to provide justification for killing off all people who practice any religion other than your favorite brand of Christianity.
I expect the Koch Brothers would send him money by the train car load, if the train tracks were maintained in his state. Maybe they could send it by executive jet instead (after all they couldn't have unionized parcel handlers helping move it...)

How would you like to have delicious fruits and vegetables for free in your neighborhood? It may sound too good to be true but it's actually happening in many places all over Los Angeles thanks to one man who started a free community garden movement.
Ron Finley calls himself the "Gangsta Gardner". He says his weapon of choice is the shovel. Nearly 10 years ago, he started street gardening out of necessity. Finley who lives in South Central LA says, "I happen to live in an area that's totally devoid of any kind of healthy food. And I've always been a person that if something's not there, you put it there yourself."
Finley has been busy planting all over LA. He uses empty lots and curbside medians-- any space he can find to plant fruits and vegetables. "I want people to know they don't have to live this manufactured reality that's already set for you. You can step out of line and create your own life just like this."
Neighbor Vivian Schuler says, "So many people are suffering in this neighborhood. I think it's wonderful." Andy Haaus says he plans to do the same in his community. "There's so much vacant land in Los Angeles that if we start growing our own food, think how much money we'd save."
Finley has inspired many others to start their own community gardens. He hopes to take his message worldwide.

NEW YORK (AP) — "Anybody got a match?" was Lauren Bacall's first line, in Howard Hawks "To Have and Have Not," and, ever since, captive moviegoers have been desperately fumbling for a light.
Lauren Bacall had the look — cool and mysterious — and she had the sound, courtesy of that irresistibly low and throaty voice.
NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Fallon paid tribute to Robin Williams on the "Tonight Show," where the late comic made many memorable, seldom-seated appearances.
MIAMI (AP) — Pop singer Justin Bieber will plead guilty to lesser charges over his arrest in South Florida in what police initially described as an illegal street race, two people involved in the case told The Associated Press.
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) — Although police have now revealed how Robin Williams committed suicide, the Oscar-winning actor's fans, friends and even family continue to struggle to understand why someone who spread so much joy throughout the world could find so little in his own life that he decided to stop living.

Did Julius Peppers earn his paycheck in Week 12?
Julius Peppers showcased his versatile skills against the Eagles and kept himself in the running for Defensive Player of the Year honors.
According to the Chicago Tribune, Gould has been placed on IR with a strained left calf suffered prior to Sunday's loss at Minnesota. The team has signed veteran Olindo Mare to handle kicking duties.||||||| Gould was hurt during warm-ups. He was kicking midrange field goals shortly before the game started without trouble, but punter Adam Podlesh handled the opening kickoff. The Bears reached the Vikings 35-yard line late in the first quarter, and Podlesh came out to punt. Gould made the extra point after Chicago's second-quarter touchdown.
Chicago Bears kicker Robbie Gould ripped the surface at Soldier Field and then apologized for it.||||||| Gould blasted the field on Wednesday, saying he might have to think about re-signing with Chicago when his contract expires after next season. He told reporters he hopes to remain with the Bears but isn't sure he wants "to deal with that as I get older as a kicker." He says the field has been "a lot softer" than in previous years. Later, however, the Bears issued a statement from Gould in which he apologized to the grounds crew.
Gould became the Chicago Bears' second-leading all-time scorer Monday night in Philadelphia.||||||| Gould passed the legendary Hall of Fame running back Walter Payton and now trails only Kevin Butler on the Bears' list.
Gould booted a 44-yard field goal with 15 seconds left to lift the Chicago Bears to a 17-14 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.||||||| Gould has made all three of his field goal attempts and all three PATs through the first two games of the season. Look for him to get more opportunities as the Bears' offense gets more comfortable with quarterback Jay Cutler.
Gould became the highest paid kicker, agreeing to a five-year, $15.5 million contract extension with the Chicago Bears that includes a $4.25 million signing bonus on Monday. The deal runs through 2013.||||||| Gould has made 84 of 99 field goal attempts and 99 of 100 points-after-touchdown with the Bears. He hit 31 of 36 field goal attempts last season and made the Pro Bowl after the 2006 season, when he scored 143 points. Gould was an undrafted free agent out of Penn State in 2005. He first signed with New England, then spent time with Baltimore before going to the Bears in October of that year.

CONYERS - The Heritage softball team put together an outstanding season this fall, finishing second in Region 8-AAAA and earning a trip to the Class AAAA North State Sectional.So it should come as no surprise that the Lady Patriots are well represented on the 2008 8-AAAA All-Region Softball Team with four first-team selections - shortstop Whitney Phillips, first baseman Kat Baize, catcher Callie Alford and pitcher Jamie Melson. Overall, nine players from three Rockdale County schools were named to either the first or second teams, which are selected by the Region 8-AAAA softball coaches. Phillips, a senior, hit .333 for the Lady Patriots with 36 hits and stole a team-high 27 bases. Baize, also a senior, compiled a .280 batting average with 18 RBIs. The first baseman also had a fielding percentage of .981. Alford, a sophomore, had a sensational season, batting a team-high .455 with 45 hits and 22 runs. Melson, a senior left-handed pitcher, compiled a record of 17-7-1 with a 0.75 ERA. She struck out 119 and walked only 12 in 160 innings of work. Rockdale senior first baseman Kaitlin Overstreet was the only other local player selected to the first team. Overstreet hit a team-high .424 for the Lady Bulldogs with 17 RBIs. The trio of Jessica Vason, Tori Beauchamp and Megan Campbell were named to the second team along with Rockdale's Stephanie Scaffe. Vason, a sophomore third baseman, hit a team-high .451 for the Lady Seminoles and had an on-base percentage of .462. Beauchamp, a junior shortstop, compiled a .315 batting average and scored 16 runs for Salem. Campbell, a senior center fielder, chalked up a team-high 25 hits for the Lady Seminoles and finished with a batting average of .448. Scaffe, a senior who split her time between the pitcher's circle and shortstop, hit .368 with 25 hits and 13 RBIs for the Lady Bulldogs. She also posted a 7-4 mark on the mound and collected 52 strikeouts. Region champion Loganville swept the top honors as Jessica Womble was selected the Player of the Year and Katy Lewis was named the Pitcher of the Year.

Solid-state storage earned a hot technology's badge of honor -- a backlash -- on Wednesday at the Diskcon conference in Santa Clara, Calif.
Storage components based on NAND flash chips have recently been promoted as an alternative to spinning HDDs (hard disk drives) in netbooks, laptops, servers, and enterprise storage platforms. Flash advocates claim they offer higher performance and greater reliability because there are no moving parts. But on Wednesday, even companies that are selling flash-based products cautioned that certain benefits may come only for certain applications or aren't here yet at all.
[ Get the latest on storage developments with InfoWorld's Technology: Storage newsletter. ]
It's "stupid" to use SSDs in a network-attached storage device that overwrites a large amount of data over and over, because of the tendency of flash chips to wear out every time data is written to them, said Mike Workman, chairman and CEO of storage equipment maker Pillar Data Systems.
Workman, who helped create IBM's storage business, believes good engineering will eventually overcome flash's limitations but complained that the market today is consumed by hyperbole.
"One of the claims is that because the SSD's solid-state, it's more reliable," Workman told attendees. "It's not. I'll tell you right now, the data that I have in the lab, it should make the solid-state guys be embarrassed," he said.
"The solid-state guys'll win," Workman said. "But they're not there yet."
Workman's company didn't come to the conference as a rival to flash vendors. Pillar already offers flash options on its storage platforms. But Workman emphasized that the new technology is just one component of an overall enterprise storage strategy.
An executive of another seller of SSDs, flash chip vendor Smart Modular Technologies, issued her own caveats about them. Flash chips deliver spectacular performance while in a "virgin" state, when the first bits are being written to them, but their write speed falls off dramatically within hours, as new bits are written over on the same silicon, said Esther Spanjer, Smart's director of SSD technical marketing. This is a normal occurrence, but some testers have tested chips in the virgin state, giving unrealistic results. Likewise, an SSD may need time to adapt after switching from sequential to random tasks. An ideal test would take it through that process, she said.
Today, makers of flash silicon may test their products with any combination of tasks and configurations, because there are no standard benchmarks, she said.
"Things are pretty much all over the map, and it can be very confusing" for makers of storage platforms that want to use flash in them, Spanjer said. The Storage Networking Industry Association and other organizations are working on these standards, she said.
A deal that Smart announced on Tuesday marked a breakthrough for a new approach to flash storage. The company agreed to buy flash controllers from SandForce, which claims it has the technology to make flash price-competitive for a wide range of enterprise uses. Its controllers manage MLC (multilevel cell) flash, the high-volume, relatively inexpensive type used in consumer products such as portable media players.
Thad Omura, SandForce's vice president of marketing, told the conference that only MLC flash can compete with HDDs on cost. Most enterprise products today use SLC (single-level cell) flash, which will never fall to the needed price levels because it's a specialized product, Omura believes.

A girl not even two years old has stage four cancer and is getting support from the Lincoln community to get through the fight.
Leyna Ahlschwede is supposed to be out playing in the yard and acting like a child, she's instead going through treatments that make her barely able to stay awake.
She's become known to people as Princess Leyna, a 20 month old girl who has a cancer that's taken over her entire body. We spoke to her parents earlier this year about the cancer. They said she doesn't understand it but it's really hard to handle.
"Even though the diagnosis is scary and every step of this is scary, we have to believe that she is going to get better and that she's going to be cured. There's no other way to get up in the morning and keep going day to day," they said.
The cancer is called Neuroblastoma. It's left a cantaloupe–sized tumor in her belly, spread to her bone marrow, even behind her eyes. She's been struggling through treatment for about 2 months now, and the community has decided to step up to help.
Family friend Steve Auxier at Good Life Fitness will host a run Saturday morning.
"For Leyna, it's a great idea and a great cause—and any way that we can help her out and help her family," Auxier said.
Auxier said he will do anything he can to help his friend going through such a tough time. He hopes this will make the fight for Leyna's life a little bit easier.
"Really focus in on getting better and better by 1 percent every day and I really felt this was a good way to help her out and her journey she has," Auxier said.
Leyna is still growing up. She can walk now. And her parents say they're trying to help her grow up the most normal life possible.
The run is at Goodlife Fitness Saturday morning at 8. It's 20 dollars and anyone can show up. If you didn't pre–register, you won't get a T shirt, but your support will be greatly appreciated.
If you're interested in donating, you can call Goodlife at 402.343.4444. You can make a donation online or drop it off to their location near 3rd and Van Dorn.

According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Steelers WR Emmanuel Sanders' surgically repaired left foot is healing more slowly than expected and he will be out for another three weeks.
Sanders, a 2010 third-round pick by the team, suffered a broken right foot in the AFC championship game that was surgically repaired. Then, a fracture was detected in his left foot and surgery was performed on that foot in early April.
The left foot has not healed as expected and is the reason why Sanders has been held out of training camp thus far.
Sanders, 24, became a key contributor to the Steelers' run to Super Bowl XLV. He secured the No. 3 WR role in the second half of the season and was one of the team's key pass-catching options, with 24 catches for 300 yards and two TDs in the final eight regular-season games and adding 7-91-0 in three postseason contests. He finished the regular season with 28-376-2 receiving in 13 games.

Updated Tuesday, Dec. 4 at 1:50 p.m. ET
The Cowboys kept alive their playoff hopes (barely) in beating the down-and-out Eagles, who made another coaching change on Monday. But right now, it's the Redskins' exciting win over the Giants that has the division suddenly back in play. Here are all the key goings-on from the division from Week 13:
What we learned: There's now a three-way race in the NFC East with the Giants, Redskins and Cowboys. The Giants' Monday-night loss puts them a mere game up with four to play, and only one of those games is in the division. The Redskins have the all-important division record in their favor — 3-1 vs. NFC East, compared to the Giants' 2-3 mark — and that's the first tiebreaker after head-to-head record. (The two teams split this season.) The Giants need to match or better the Redskins' win total the rest of the way. That's the bottom line.
What's in store next: There are two games left on the road and two at home, starting with Sunday's game against the Saints at MetLife Stadium. This one will be personal for the Giants. They have given up 127 points in the past three games (all losses) to the Saints, although two of those have been on the road. Still, with a Saints team that has been turnover-prone and is essentially now out of the playoff race, the Giants will want to jump on them early and deliver a knockout blow.
What the heck? They still could be in the driver's seat, but missed opportunities have them kicking themselves. As in kicking too many field goals. In an eight-possession game, the Giants ended four of them with FG attempts. Three of them were good. That was good for nine points. Three of the four drives ate up more than 16 minutes of clock combined but accounted for only six points. So although the Giants dominated the stat sheet for the first three quarters of the ballgame, it ended up not mattering. The Giants' offensive execution on the opponents' side of the field has left a lot to be desired at times this season.
What we learned: We learned that we officially have a playoff race — and that RG3 is this year's Tim Tebow. Watching Robert Griffin's first-quarter fumble-turned-touchdown brings us to only one conclusion: The young man is turning up aces every game, it seems. Griffin was somewhat ordinary on the stat sheet, but he was turnover-free, made some clutch throws in the fourth quarter to Leonard Hankerson and Pierre Garcon and ripped off a 46-yard run in the second half to stunt some of the Giants' momentum. Griffin masks a lot of the Redskins' weaknesses, and his brimming confidence has the rest of the team following him like the pied piper towards a run at the playoffs.
What's in store next: The Ravens make the short trip into town for a special regional screening of the RG3 show, and they could be coming without two key defenders. Ray Lewis won't be back for at least another week, and Terrell Suggs might miss the game with a torn biceps. Can the Ravens slow down Griffin after they failed to contain Charlie Batch and the Steelers' passing game in the second half last week?
What the heck? How did the defense, which looked so ineffective in the first half, rebound with such a strong 30 minutes? Pressure. The Redskins aimed to try to confuse Eli Manning with a slew of personnel packages and defensive looks, constantly rotating through the first two quarters. It barely had an effect, as Manning rung up 187 yards on 14-of-22 passes and the Giants possessed the ball 20:32 of the 30 minutes. But one reason why is that the Redskins routinely sent three and four rushers. Their second-half game plan saw more five-man pressures, realizing that Manning dissecting a shorthanded secondary was not going to cut it. When the Redskins were in zone, bad things happened. When they were in man and pressured, Manning was far less effective.
What we learned: Dez Bryant is special. Tony Romo, at his best, is really good. And DeMarco Murray, even at less than full health, is a difference maker. The Cowboys beat a beaten-down Eagles team — but one that had come to play Sunday night — 38-33 in a game that hardly was artful, but one that kept the Cowboys' moderately thin playoff hopes afloat.
What's in store next: The irony is that the Cowboys have a far better shot, it appears, to earn the NFC's No. 4 seed as the division winner than they do the No. 5 or No. 6 seed as the wild card. With so many teams in the NFC wild-card mix, the Cowboys would need a wing and a prayer to get in that way. But at 6-6 and one win back (prior to the Monday nighter) of the division-leading Giants, nothing is taken for granted, especially this season. The Cowboys go back on the road for the first time in four weeks, and it's a tough one. The Bengals quietly have won four in a row (after losing four straight) and have been tougher in Cincy than their 3-3 home record might suggest. The Cowboys have not played there since 2004.
What the heck? Is the defense required to have a meltdown at some point? Are the Cowboys obliged to stake teams a double-digit first-half lead at home every time? With Michael Vick and LeSean McCoy out with concussions, the Eagles' rookie duo of QB Nick Foles and RB Bryce Brown torched the Cowboys. They were third- and seventh-round picks, mind you; it's doubtful that the Cowboys' third- (DE Tyrone Crawford) and seventh-rounders (LB Caleb McSurdy) could have taken over a game like that. Foles and Brown amassed a combined 420 yards (Foles 251 passing, Brown 169 rushing) and three TDs and staked Philly to a 14-3 lead and possessed the ball late in the contest with a chance to win. Behind that Eagles' offensive line and with that receiving corps, missing DeSean Jackson, the Cowboys should have buried them far earlier. Yes, a forced fumble was returned for a TD late to ice the game, but it should not have come down to that.
What we learned: Another game, another whacking. Not only did the Eagles lose another one — their eighth in a row since starting 3-1, for refresher's sake — on the field, but DL coach Jim Washburn was fired Monday morning in the wake of the 38-33 loss at Dallas. In a week that saw DE Jason Babin released and the Eagles falling to 3-9, it should come as little surprise. But QB Nick Foles and RB Bryce Brown showed starter promise and played exceptionally well in the loss considering all that was missing — namely four-fifths of a starting offensive line and WR DeSean Jackson.
What's in store next: The Eagles will try to avoid nine losses in a row, but it's tough to see a clear path to victory in the final four games (all against teams currently in the playoff hunt), starting in Week 14 at Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers are loaded with rookies in the secondary and have the league's worst-ranked pass defense, so maybe Foles can go on the road and put together back-to-back big games. It's important for him to shine and show (whoever is left amid the expected postseason rubble) that he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL. Other than that, the Eagles could try adopting a spoiler's role. It served them mildly well last season when they knocked off a Cowboys squad that was seeking a playoff bid.
What the heck? The defense is awful. Forget what these guys get paid. Bury last year's statistics. This group is hopeless. It needs a full-scale sacking and rebuilding of some sort, whether it's an entirely new scheme to fit the personnel or entirely new personnel. There are, of course, salvageable parts; a few young front-seven players deserve to stay and could be cultivated. But DE Trent Cole has been a shadow of his former self. LB Akeem Jordan is not starting-caliber. The entire secondary needs to be examined. It's a full-scale mess and should be the top priority this offseason. At least the offense can point to injuries as a legitimate excuse. The defense has no such fallback.

Get To Know... Jason Rollins, Secondary
Get Inside the Huddle with Coach Rollins and the Defensive Backs
Minus One
By: Tommy Tomlinson, Sports On Earth
Tulane's Johnson Announces the Completion of Green Wave Coaching Staff
Eight new faces dot staff; Johnson retains Lichtenberger, Rollins
Jason Rollins, the longest tenured coach on the Tulane coaching staff, enters his sixth season as a secondary coach for the Green Wave in 2013.
Rollins' fifth season, and first under head coach Curtis Johnson, at Tulane featured a young secondary with three freshmen starters to go with one senior. However, the group responded with 11 of the team's 15 interceptions, which tied for the ninth-best single season interception total in school history, and the secondary recovered seven of Tulane's nine fumbles while forcing three and logged 28 pass break-ups.
Individually, freshman Darion Monroe earned honorable mention Freshman All-America honors and joined fellow classmate, cornerback Lorenzo Doss, on the Conference USA All-Freshman team. Freshman cornerback Jordan Batiste and Doss were honorable mention All C-USA selections. Doss also set a school record for interceptions by a freshman with five picks, which placed him second among C-USA defenders and 13th nationally. Monroe led the team in tackles with 97 and returned one fumble for a touchdown, while senior Ryan Travis returned one pick for a score.
During his fourth season, Tulane's secondary accounted for nine of the team's 12 interceptions, which were the most by a Green Wave squad since 2003, and his unit ranked sixth in pass defense and interceptions among Conference USA teams. Junior Ryan Travis led Tulane with four interceptions and garnered honorable mention All C-USA honors.
In his third year, Rollins' secondary was tough against the pass, ranking first among C-USA teams in pass defense, giving up just 194.6 yards per game, and ranking 28th in the nation. The secondary also grabbed eight interceptions, recorded 30 pass breakups, forced five fumbles and made five fumble recoveries. Senior Phillip Davis was a first team All C-USA selection and ranked eighth nationally in pass break-ups with 12.
Much like his rookie season at Tulane, Rollins' group was very effective during his second year as well with the Green Wave. TU's secondary ranked first among C-USA teams in pass defense, surrendering just 218.0 yards per game, and Rollins' cornerbacks contributed three interceptions on the season, including two by Davis, and the group accounted for 11 pass breakups.
In his first season, Rollins was an instant hit with the TU secondary as the group accounted for 23 pass breakups, five interceptions, five forced fumbles, five recovered fumbles and recorded 10 stops for lost yardage. More impressively, the TU pass defense ranked 14th in the nation (172.83 ypg) and was top ranked unit among C-USA teams in 2008.
Rollins, 39, came to Tulane from McNeese State, where he served for three seasons as the Cowboy's co-defensive coordinator and secondary coach. He helped McNeese State to a three-year mark of 23-10 which included a pair of Southland Conference titles and back-to-back playoff appearances in 2006 and 2007.
During his final season with the Cowboys, Rollins' defensive unit helped anchor an 11-1 campaign for the top 25 ranked Cowboys. McNeese State reeled off 11 straight victories before falling to Eastern Washington in the first round of the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs.
Prior to his return to McNeese State, Rollins spent two seasons as the defensive backfield coach at Northwestern State, helping lead the Demons to the Southland Conference title in 2004, and his defensive backs were part of a unit that led the nation in total defense that same season.
Before that, he had served as a graduate assistant coach at McNeese State as well as an assistant coach in the prep ranks for a pair of Texas schools, including Galveston's (Texas) Ball High School from 1999-2003 and Lamarque (Texas) High School in 2003.
A native of Lake Charles, La., Rollins played high school football in Newton, Texas, and later played three seasons at McNeese State where he lettered as a safety. He earned his bachelor's degree in health and human performance from MSU in 1996.
He and his wife, Danna, have one son: Tieler (7).

Financial Aid Office
The mission of the Office of Financial Aid at Lake Erie College is to facilitate access and affordability for students choosing to pursue a course of study at the College. The Office of Financial Aid adheres to the federal philosophy that students and their families have the primary responsibility to pay for their education. Our mission is met by:
- Providing information and services to prospective and continuing students and their families;
- Assisting students and families in the financial aid application process;
- Determining financial aid eligibility and making offers of financial assistance;
- Facilitating the timely delivery of financial aid funds;
- Delivering financial aid to all eligible applicants in a fair and equitable manner.
Financial assistance is available from a variety of sources; the amount and type are determined on the basis of financial need (Financial Need = Cost of Attendance - Expected Family Contribution). The Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is determined by using the Federal Methodology Formula approved by the U.S. Department of Education. To apply for financial aid, students must submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to the Central Processing System of the U.S. Department of Education at www.fafsa.ed.gov.
Financial aid is awarded annually. A student must submit a FAFSA each year to be considered for federal and state aid. Timely submission of the FAFSA will maximize a student's financial aid opportunities for federal and state programs. Submitting the FAFSA late may limit a student's eligibility for those funds. Institutional aid is awarded on a rolling basis.
Once a student has been accepted to the College and the FAFSA is processed, a financial aid award letter will be mailed. When the award is received, a student may accept all or any part of the award without affecting any other funds offered. Upon notification that a student has received an award from an outside source, appropriate adjustments will be made to the financial aid previously offered in accordance with federal regulations. Changes to a student's cost of attendance could also have an impact on a financial award.
In general, to receive financial aid a student must be enrolled at least half-time (six credit hours per semester for undergraduates and three credit hours for graduates). A significant number of institutional and state programs require full-time attendance.
Financial aid awards will be adjusted for any student who does not enroll for the number of credit hours upon which the award was based. If a student with financial aid withdraws from a course or courses during the refund period, aid will be adjusted accordingly. If an instructor withdraws a student from a course, financial aid will be adjusted according to the last date of attendance reported by the instructor, in accordance with federal regulations. Students considering a reduction in their coursework should consult the Office of Financial Aid prior to making changes to determine the impact upon their financial aid eligibility.
Satisfactory Academic Progress is also required to maintain eligibility for financial aid. To ensure that the application information used to determine financial aid eligibility is complete and accurate, student records (including applicable parent tax returns) may be selected for review in accordance with federal regulations. Students selected will be notified of the information and documentation required for continued processing. These documents should be submitted to the Office of Financial Aid upon request.

InfoWorld review: Better network security, compliance with log management
ArcSight, LogRhythm, and NitroSecurity ace mining event logs for security alerting, compliance auditing, and other usesFollow @rogeragrimes
Searching stored data. Searching stored data for interesting patterns and events is an important part of log management, and an area where vendors strive to differentiate their products. Vendors will often tout how quickly their filtered searches work across very large amounts of data (although none of these claims were tested in this review). Most offer searches based upon keywords, English phrases, and Boolean logic. Some vendors force the user to type in all search expressions, while others also provide a graphical, pick-and-choose, "build a query" interface. Building a query click by click is helpful in teaching new administrators, although experienced admins almost always prefer the quickness and flexibility of a typed query.
If your organization needs to search a lot of raw, unstructured event logs, ask the vendor if they support search filters across non-normalized data. And if they do, how exactly can you search it, and how do searches of unstructured data differ from searches of structured data? Many vendors only allow keyword searches of raw data, whereas others allow Boolean logic.
Can searches be performed across peers? Among the products reviewed, only ArcSight, LogLogic, LogRhythm, and Splunk can execute searches across multiple nodes. All the products allow search filters to be saved. But the better products allow them to easily be turned into reports and saved for later use. Some products allow search filters to be sent to others and shared, which is particularly helpful in very large environments with many log reviewers.
It's also good to have plenty of built-in, predefined search filters. Some products come with none or just a small sampling. The best products come with dozens of predefined, interesting queries, typically tied to one or more compliance objectives. The most common are for failed logons. A few products, including LogLogic, include "near context" queries that will show 10 or so events before and after a particular message you are interested in.
Alerting. Alerting is an important feature of log management and even more essential for SIEM. The vendor should support several different methods of alerting. All the products reviewed have email alerting, and most allow SNMP forwarding. Surprisingly, only a few have SMS alerting or allow analog modem dialing for pagers that lack an Internet interface. Some, including NitroSecurity, interface with common help desk software (usually Remedy) or have their own "help desk" function to help with responses. Most products allow unlimited alerting, but some, notably ArcSight Logger, only allow a limited number of active alerts -- five in the case of Logger. ArcSight's SIEM product has no such limitation.
Alerting comes in several forms. At the very least, alerting allows a notification to be sent if a particular log event is detected, and all products allow alerts to be based upon a certain number of events in a particular time period. One of my favorite alert types is the baseline alerting, in which the product itself determines the "normal" event patterns for the environment, while the admin determines the percentage of deviation to alert on. NitroSecurity supports baselining on every message type, whereas LogLogic's baselining is limited to all messages coming from a particular device or set of devices.
Whatever log management product you choose, make sure it has the ability to throttle alert messaging. Nothing is worse than getting 100 alerts from a single event in the middle of the night.

Access to the Fiftyniners' Directory
The following notes are very much abbreviated, condensed, made to fit into small space, then arranged alphabetically by surnames. A complete index is to follow, as many other names occur within the text, also names of places in many parts of the world, but this work is reserved for a future volume for which I already have considerable material collected. Old newspaper files, mining records, land and other public records, notes in cases at court, in wills, sometimes in marriage and death records, in cemetery statistics, and often old gravestones have yielded results. All of the prominent Histories of Colorado have been searched, as well as smaller and less well known publications. The largest number of Fiftyniners ever collected together before appeared in Hall's History. I could not find more than a few hundred names in any of the printed lists. I have increased our knowledge of these heroes by several thousand names, each with a tiny bit of history, often taken from several slips which represent excursions into a number of books or records. For instance, the birth date may be taken from newspaper, his arrival in Colorado from an old file of News or Herald, or some other ancient paper, and possibly the date of his death from a tombstone, and some facts about his children and heirs from his will, or a copy of it. This collection might be called with propriety "The Roll of the Unknown", for here they are placed with their fellows and voyageurs, among a few more famous ones who are perpetually being repeated in the histories so far published. I hope that this list will be valuable for genealogical research, as so many of our finest old American names are here, as well as many which indicate an origin in the older world. I love these Unknown Heroes, whose names I am giving to you today.

A Look Back: Inaugural Season of FGCU Men's Soccer
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The inaugural FGCU men's soccer season will forever be remembered in FGCU Athletics history. The Eagles finished their inaugural campaign with an 8-10-1 overall record, including wins over Coastal Carolina and UNLV. FGCU also earn a tie with A-Sun preseason favorite and eventual A-Sun Champion, Campbell.
Below are a few highlights from the 2007 season:
A-Sun Standings
The FGCU Eagles finished tied-fifth in the A-Sun with a 3-5-1 conference record.
The Eagles ended the season ranked near the top in many statistical categories:
Tied-3rd – Saves (51) *Conference Games Only
4th – Points (68)
4th – Goals Per Game (1.32 gpg)
5th – Goals (25)
Tied-5th – Assists (18), Assists Per Game (0.95), Shutouts (4)
Notes From During the Season
A Day of Firsts: Only once can a team score the first-ever goal, the first-ever assist or record the first-ever save in program history and for Florida Gulf Coast that day was August 31st, when the Eagles opened their inaugural season at the CCU/Adidas Invitational.
First Goal: Jonathan Koshko (penalty kick vs Coastal Carolina)
First Assist: Trent Anderson (on a goal by Colin Gill vs Coastal Carolina)
First Game-Winning Goal: Anthony Forde (on a 2-on-1 break vs. Coastal Carolina)
First Save: Adam Glick (at the 44:18 mark vs. Coastal Carolina)
Starting Lineup for 1st game: (GK) Adam Glick, (D) Chris DiNapoli, (D) Matt O'Shaughnessy, (F) Colin Gill, (D) Arjun Jani, (M) Ben Foerstner, (M) Diego Meneses, (F) Anthony Forde, (D) Jonathan Koshko, (F) Matthew Piccoli, (F) Taylor Sullivan
Eagles Soar to Programs First Victory: Florida Gulf Coast's first-ever men's soccer game was a winning one. The Eagles rallied from an early deficit against Coastal Carolina for a 3-2 victory. Trent Anderson came off the bench and assisted both of FGCU's second-half goals.
Making 'Em Pay: Jonathan Koshko finished the season 2-for-2 on penalty kicks (first goal off a penalty kick came against Coastal Carolina on Aug. 31).
Solid in Goal: FGCU goalkeeper Adam Glick registered his 3rd career shutout against UNF on Sunday, Oct. 14. Glick, as of Oct. 16, is tied-2nd in the A-Sun in shutouts.
When the Game is on the Line: Against UNF on Oct. 14, Anthony Forde knocked in a header to record his team-leading fifth goal and the eventual game-winner in the game's 24th minute off of a corner kick from Matthew Piccoli.
On Aug. 31 vs. Coastal Carolina Forde hit his first game-winner. This time he beat the CCU keeper in the 73rd minute to give the Eagles a 3-2 victory.
Forde and Glick Earn A-Sun All-Freshman Honors: Freshmen Adam Glick and Anthony Forde have been named to the Atlantic Sun Conference All-Freshman Team the conference office announced on Nov. 13.
Glick (Leola, Pa.) started all 19 of FGCU's games this season and was a catalyst for the Eagles on defense. Glick was named A-Sun Player of the Week two times during the regular season, while earning eight wins in goal, tallying four shutouts and posting 86 saves during the season. Glick's saves and shutout totals ranked him third in the A-Sun in both categories.
Forde (Odessa, Fla.) joins Glick on the All-Freshman Team. Forde started in 17 games for the Eagles this season and played a big part in FGCU's offensive attack. Forde ended the season ranking first on the team in points (13), goals (6), shots on goal (16) and game-winning goals (tied-2). Forde's six goals ranked him eighth in the A-Sun this year.

TCD annual meeting held Thursday
The Twin Cities Development Association held their annual meeting at the Gering Civic Center Thursday. Steve Reisig was named as new president of the organization.
Reisig told KNEB News one of the areas they plan to focus on in the next year is new recruitment for member businesses. He says they have never really worked with new recruitment, but that is something the board has decided to do this year. Reisig said there are certainly businesses out there that should be TCD members.
Other areas Reisig said they will be concentrating on in the next year are efforts like expanding existing businesses and revamping their web site.
