Search in stocks of data, particularly on optical media, is intended to be optimized in terms of the time required for the search. It is therefore proposed that the search be carried out in two steps. In a first search step, the entire database is scanned on the disk storage medium. In a second search step, executed in parallel, intermediate results from the first search step are searched. This allows the number of skips on a disk to be reduced, which results in increases of speed, particularly in the case of optical drives.

1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a method for searching a database on a disk storage medium, particularly a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM. The present invention also relates to a corresponding apparatus for searching a database.
2. Description of Related Art
Database systems normally access a fixed or dynamic stock of data. This stock of data is normally stored on a hard disk. Sometimes, the data are also stored in a ROM, as is the case with T9 voice databases for mobile telephones. In addition, it is known practice for telephone books, for example, to be stored on CD- or DVD-ROMs.
Currently, however, dynamic databases are not stored on optical media. The reason for this is the relatively long skip times for the limited number of rewrite cycles on an optical medium in comparison with a hard disk. Complex search queries are therefore very time-consuming on optical media.
The object of the present invention is therefore to optimize the searching of databases, particularly on optical media.
The invention achieves this object by means of a method for searching a database on a disk storage medium by executing a first search step which is used to scan the entire database on the disk storage medium, providing an intermediate result from the first search step, executing a second search step in the intermediate result from the first search step, and providing an end result from the second search step.
The invention also provides an apparatus for searching a database on a disk storage medium having a search device for executing a first search step which can be used to scan the entire database on the disk storage medium, and a memory device for storing and providing an intermediate result from the first search step, where the search device is also designed to execute a second search step in the intermediate result from the first search step and to provide an end result from the second search step.
The invention is based on the concept of the search requiring as few skips as possible to be made by the read head on the disk storage medium, particularly the optical disk. This allows the search time to be minimized significantly, since thorough search operations for refining the first search step no longer require recourse to the disk, but rather access to a fast memory device is possible.
Preferably, the processing speed for the data in the first search step is at least as high as the read-in speed for the data. This can be achieved by matching the search depth to the read-in speed. This means that the read operation on the disk during the first search step is not interrupted and there is no need for a time-consuming return skip.
The first search step may involve just a pattern search (pattern match) being performed. The pattern search can be executed very quickly in contrast to computation-intensive comparison operations, for example. If an index list is used for searching, it is advantageous if the first search step involves skipping to the search locations in descending or ascending order on the basis of sorting exclusively according to sector numbers. This measure also allows the average skip distance to be reduced.
The intermediate result obtained during the first search step may comprise one or more subresults which are respectively searched in the second search step. This means that, by way of example, the first search step can deliver individual subtrees which are thinned in the second search step according to specific elements.
In one preferred variant, the database is dynamic and is available in fragmented form, with the individual fragments being read in successively and a read head skipping exclusively in one direction between the fragments. This likewise prevents the number of skips from exceeding a requisite minimum. In particular, this also minimizes the skip distance, since the skips are made only in one direction.
For security reasons, the data on the disk storage medium are stored in ECC (Error Correction Code) blocks. It is all the more important in that case that the number of skips is reduced, since the ECC blocks always have to be read in full and a skip on the disk normally requires a subsequent movement to the start of a block.
Preferably, as already indicated, the disk storage medium is an optical disk, such as a CD or DVD. In the case of these optical disks, where the read head is moved very slowly as compared with hard disks, the inventive method can expect the greatest return.
Some embodiments of apparatus and/or methods in accordance with the invention are now described, by way of example only, and with reference to the accompanying FIGURE in which:
the FIGURE shows the parallel flow of first and second search steps in an exemplary embodiment in accordance with the invention.
The exemplary embodiment outlined in more detail below is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
The invention achieves a full search of a database on a disk by virtue of a first process (thread) making a full search through the stock of data and, in so doing, performing a (from the point of view of the processor power) simple, coarse and rapid search in a first search step. In this case, the stock of data is searched as continuously as possible on the disk from the point of view of sector numbering. This saves arduous pick-up skips by the drive.
Every search hit is then forwarded to a second search step. This means that the suitable data are transferred from the first search step to the second search step, i.e. from the first process to a second process executed in parallel. The first search step does not wait for the result from the second search step, i.e. it continues its coarse search immediately.
The second search step is responsible for more complex search tasks, such as comparisons, which may require more CPU computation power. This search process is then performed independently of the coarse search in a separate parallel second process (thread).
This division is of particular interest, by way of example, for hierarchy text-based databases, such as XML databases. A search query to such databases frequently comprises text, element names and attribute names. By way of example, the search query could be: search a music database for the track "Wonderful tonight" by Eric Clapton. The first search step then searches the stored stock of data in a fast text scan. In the specific example, the music database is searched for hits relating to the singer "Eric Clapton" and hits relating to the track "Wonderful tonight". This is a type of search which requires only limited computation power. The computation power required varies according to the level of error tolerance with which the text search is to be performed, and whether searching is meant to be case-insensitive, for example.
Ultimately, the available computation power is limited. It is utilized for a coarse, rapid and continuous scan of the stock of data. In this regard, it will be noted that although an optical disk requires a very long time to skip from one sector to another arbitrary sector on the disk (up to one second) in comparison with a hard disk, the continuous reading-in of consecutive disk sectors is only slightly slower than in the case of a hard disk. Consequently, this continuous scan of the stock of data is intended to be utilized to the greatest possible extent. A prerequisite for this is that the coarse first search step does not over task the processor. This is achieved by virtue of the CPU requiring only little time for the processing in the first search step, which means that the drive or pick-up can deliver each sector of the stock of data to the first step immediately. Otherwise, an arduous return skip by the pick-up would in fact be enforced.
The coarse, first search therefore delivers probable hits, but no definite hits. In a specific example, the first search step would provide all entries in the music database containing "Eric Clapton" and/or "Wonderful tonight" as hits. This means that other numbers by Eric Clapton and other interpreters of the song being sought are also recorded as an intermediate result. These probable hits are forwarded directly to a second independent search process. This second search process provides the refined search, which is used to ascertain that this is actually a hit. This search process therefore performs the search part which implements a more complex search in terms of computation, such as complex XPath expressions, as are frequently used for XML databases. In the specific example, the hits for "Eric Clapton" are searched for the head word "Wonderful tonight" and vice versa. As end result, it is thus possible to present database entries which contain both the interpreter being sought and the track being sought.
The advantage of this two-stage procedure is that a preselective search process, which requires as little computation power as possible, searches the stock of data in a continuous scan process having reduced skips. As a result, a scan of the stock of data takes place at maximum speed. The second search process, executed with lower priority than the first search process, uses the remaining computation power in order to locate the ultimate hits.
This process already provides execution-time advantages for fixed stocks of data on CD-ROM and DVD-ROM. It is even more effective when the stock of data is available in fragmented form on the optical disk. This is the case with dynamic stocks of data, in particular.
The first search step permits searching for XML element names, XML attribute names, XML element values (which is text) and XML attribute values (which is also text) and XML namespaces. In this example, logic combination between simultaneously sought search modules, such as logic AND functions and logic OR functions, are likewise possible on account of sufficient computation power. This means that the search depth in a first step is dependent on the available computation power. In other words, in this example individual hits can actually be logically combined in real time, i.e. at the same time as the data are being read in. This in turn means that the first search step is already of hierarchic design. The first search step then returns subtrees. These are elements, for example, which contain all demanded element names, attribute names and value texts.
In the second step, the search is refined, i.e. the more complex search requirements are implemented therein. These more complex search requirements are, by way of example, the order of elements, comparison operations and other logic dependencies which cannot be tested by the first search step.
The FIGURE shows the parallel flow of the search. While the first search step, symbolized by a continuous bar over time t, searches the entire stock of data without interruption, the second search step receives only the hits from the first search step. These are then searched in detail. The second search steps are separate CPU processes which use the remaining available computation power. The first search step is thus not disturbed. Since the first search step is generally the more time-consuming process on account of the properties of optical disks, it represents the bottleneck. In this process arrangement, therefore, steps are taken to prevent the process from being held up by transferring time-consuming examinations out of this process. It is thus possible to search with prescribed computation power at correspondingly maximum speed.
The search speed may also be increased by virtue of the data which are to be searched being stored on the optical medium in ascending sector sequence as far as possible.
The inventive search is advantageous particularly when no index lists are used for the search. If index lists are available, however, then a search using the index is frequently more appropriate. If the index list means that it is necessary to skip to various locations in the stock of data, however, then skipping to and searching the skip points from the index list should advantageously be effected on the basis of sorting which ascends to sector numbers, in order to reduce the skip times on average.
Since index lists are suitable only for specific search queries, practically every database will be reliant on a full search for particular complex search queries, which means that the present invention may likewise be used for any database.
In summary, it may thus be stated that the greatest benefit of the present invention can be achieved in the case of appliances with optical drives, which have longer skip times and permit rapid reading of cohesive sectors. The large stocks of data on these optical media may then be searched at very high speed with limited computation power. Continuous reading in ascending sector numbers reads ECC (Error Correction Code) blocks entirely and scans all sectors which are relevant to the database. In the case of DVDs, the ECC blocks comprise 16 sectors of 2048 bits, and in the case of Blue-Ray disks they comprise 32 sectors of 2048 bits. These blocks need to be read in full in order to be able to inspect even just a single sector. To this end, Blue-Ray disks require approximately a whole disk revolution in the internal radius, for example. Hence, arbitrary skips over the entire disk should be the exception and can essentially be avoided by the present invention.
The inventive principle is naturally also suitable for stocks of data on hard disks. In that case, the advantage which can be expected is small, however, since the average skip times are several orders of magnitude shorter than in the case of optical disks. In addition, the sectors on a hard disk are not packed into ECC blocks.

Interfaith Families: Choosing a Religion for Your Children
in Religion
Nearly half of the marriages in the U.S. over the last decade have been between people of different faiths, and many of those families are raising children fully in both parents' religious traditions. Almost one quarter of all Americans attend religious services of more than one faith or denomination. Interfaith marriages are increasingly common.
Clergy often argue that children raised with two faiths will be confused, and oftentimes one religion takes precedence over another in an effort to minimize conflict. Choosing one religion works for many families, but not all of them.
On this episode of Real Talk with Pastor Ray, Pastor Ray will address this very common issue, and answer the questions:
Should parents choose one religion for their children?
Should they teach both religions and let their child choose?
Or should they not push religion and faith at all?

How do you feel about interfaith marriage???
in Religion
The Constitution of these United States guarantees the right to marry, with no mention of religion. With the the US being a blend of different religions and cultures it's understandable of all the interfaith marriages. Many religious leaders have stated that this will eventually lead to the "breakdown" of organized religion, as we know it. The Rebellious Rev and The Doc have a lot to say about this from personal experience. How about you??? Please call us with your comments at 646-595-3275 and share your views with our audience.

However, we remain self produced and self operated. This means skating by on a shoe string budget just to get to our fans. Our poor, decrepit borrowed trailer is now on its last leg (or wheel) and we finally have no choice but to upgrade to move our gear and ourselves if we are to continue to take what we do to our friends, fans and family about the states. The funds we are seeking will be directed entirely toward a new trailer capable of making this happen. Due to the amount of equipment and gear used to produce the Celtic, Tribal, Gypsy Rock experience we will be seeking to purchase a double axle 14 foot trailer that can move it all without the constraints and problems we contend with at present. Though we've made every show to date, breakdowns, flats, and constant repairs have been constant issues and we can't continue unless we upgrade. So we turn to you to help us make our continuing tours a reality.

IPhone Public Distrusts Dial-Up Government: Michael Waldman
Feb. 4 (Bloomberg) -- Americans have argued over government's role since the days when politicians wore powdered wigs. Lately this great debate seemed more like a monologue. Conservatives denounce government with zest. But on this most basic of questions, President Barack Obama and the Democrats have been silent.
That began to change with Obama's State of the Union last week, which sketched an appealing picture of government as an engine of economic innovation. He must do more to set out his vision, and persuade the public to go along.
We have always been ambivalent about what Thomas Paine called "a necessary evil." But throughout the 20th century, liberals, if nothing else, stood for the idea that a strong government could be a force for good.
In his landmark 1932 Commonwealth Club speech, Franklin D. Roosevelt explained, "New conditions impose new requirements upon government" -- signaling a sharp expansion of Washington's role, through the Depression, World War II and the Cold War. Americans embraced this change from our traditionally distant central government.
Modern conservatism was born, in large measure, to repudiate that view. The tone was set in the first minutes of Ronald Reagan's term, when he declared in his inaugural address, "government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem."
Threat to Freedom
These assaults bit because they came at a time when government seemed unable to meet basic tests, from curbing crime to managing its own finances. It drew from many strands -- southern whites resentful of civil-rights laws, business people chafing at environmental rules -- but all cast strong central government as a threat to freedom.
Through the years, there have been hiccups and hesitations. George W. Bush neither ran nor governed as a foe of big government. But by the 2010 election, the Republican Party made a consistent, confident public argument. As Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin said in his televised response to Obama's State of the Union speech, "We are at a moment, where if government's growth is left unchecked and unchallenged, America's best century will be considered our past century."
All this even though government in the U.S. still is much smaller than elsewhere. The federal government accounts for about a quarter of the economy. (That doesn't count state and local levels.) In many other democracies, the public sector can account for as much as half of spending.
Shift Against Government
Nonetheless, the public largely buys the Republican critique. Numerous polls show a sharp shift against government.
Democrats take refuge in the famous study in 1967 by political scientists Hadley Cantril and Lloyd Free, who found that Americans loathe big government yet crave its benefits. We are "operationally liberal" but "ideologically conservative." So liberal politicians pound on specific programs. Here are some pharmaceuticals, seniors; there are some loans, students; let's hope it adds up to majority. As for whether these goodies cohere into a vision of what government does, well, Democrats long have hoped nobody notices.
Obama tries hard to avoid the issue of government's size and role. He used his inaugural address to chide "childish" politics, instead of spelling out an explicit political vision. When he had the public's undivided attention, he never delivered an Oval Office address to explain the stimulus. (It was Richard Nixon, not Obama, who declared, "I am now Keynesian.")
Democrat Strategy
He talked about government's role occasionally, such as in last year's University of Michigan commencement address -- but rarely in more high-profile settings. Absent an overarching vision, the Democrats were reduced to pelting their midterm foes with nit-picky attack ads that were easily deflected.
Perhaps electoral losses forced a reassessment. This year, State of the Union listeners could discern a defense of government's proper role. Obama didn't merely envision a market that creates and distributes wealth, with government stretching a safety net to catch those who fall. Rather, government can help build the conditions for prosperity, as it did from canals in the 1800s to the Internet in the 1990s. As has been noted, this was an approach that echoed Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln. Obama cannily made budget cutting seem old-fashioned, even defeatist in the struggle for international economic gain.
But he must do much more. The next test will come in May, when Congress has to authorize an increase in the debt ceiling. The Republicans in Congress will try to force cuts. Obama must go beyond tagging individual programs to make the larger point about government's role.
Obama's Pledge
But Obama's address hinted at something even more basic: Democrats must show they seek a more effective government, not a bigger one. Last week, Obama pledged a plan to reorganize overlapping agencies.
That's nice. But fiddling with organization charts can be a placebo instead of actually taking action. Mock Al Gore's reinventing government drive in the 1990s at your peril: It recognized that government had far to go to adopt basic corporate customer-service principles. Citizens who live in an iPhone economy will never trust a dial-up government.
Over coming months, Democrats must show they can grapple with the big questions. What is government's function? What's the ideal divide between the public sector and a robust private economy? When we want a social good -- say, clean air -- is the best approach command-and-control regulation, economic incentives, direct spending? How can we tap social media to modernize the public sector?
Until Democrats can argue for their vision of the role of government with self-confident gusto, they will never earn the trust of the public, nor should they.

(SCOTTSDALE, AZ) -- Jenna Jameson begins shooting Monday April 15th in Los Angeles on her next feature production, I Dream of Jenna. The shoot, directed by Justin Sterling, is expected to last all week. Supporting stars include Nikita Denise, Inari Vachs, Britney Andrews, Steven St. Croix, Randy Spears and other top adult performers.
Jenna chose the title for the new movie after being told many times over the years that she resembled Barbara Eden, star of the long-running television series I Dream of Jeannie.
"Personally I don't think I look much like her, but the slight twist in the title is a kick and I m really into the production", said Jenna.
In Other Jenna News:
· Check out the May issue of the popular Marie Claire magazine. Jenna gives sex tips to its mostly female readers. She advises women to look in the mirror while you're naked and say, I'm beautiful, I'm sexy, I deserve to have the ultimate pleasure.
· Ocean Drive magazine, the hot read in South Beach, has a feature (?) and photo in the May issue on Jenna and she appears this month in Stun magazine.
· Jenna is also in serious discussions for a role in an upcoming HBO series. The biggest problem is finding time in her tightly packed schedule.

This does not seem to be working. Each time I try to add a class it says it's already been added. When I check my classes area is empty. Also the app is incredibly slow and the text is not aligned properly. Great idea but the app needs quite a bit of tweaking.
(35 stars)
Best app forever

This is cool

The application froze up sending my notes and then they disappeared. So my notes are gone. Why cant I just save it to my tablet? Uninstalling.

No matter what I press, just constant never ending loading.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
I instead found five frumpy lumpies doing party tricks with guitars and modern boxes, bouncing around like electroclash Care Bears, trying their darnedest to figure what to do about their bodies. This is never easy, especially if you have a song called "The L Train Is a Swell Train and I Don't Want to Hear You Indies Complain." But language is stupid, and sometimes maybe the best way to articulate your lack of anything to say is to shut up, tighten up, and let those Other Music frequent-flier miles take you away to that warm safe place where as a child you'd hide and wait for the thunder and the rain to quietly pass you by.
Until immigrating to Brooklyn (with flowers in their hair) in 2001, said place was a far-off land called Sacramento, where most of Out Hud lived a simple agrarian existence moonlighting as !!!, disco Triscuits who've become a sort of Red Hot Chili Peppers for people who got moist when they hit the Gang of Four reference in The Corrections. Early Out Hud singles came with optimistic titles like "Emperor Selassie's Morning Wood" (compiled on the Troubleman Mix Tape) and "First Single of the New Millennium," but S.T.R.E.E.T. D.A.D., like its predecessors, subverts such kinky Pollyanna with an alluring sense of entitled ennui. Sometimes white people are sad. Sometimes white people are happyI'm reminded of the mood in the Chills' "Pink Frost," the Clean's "You're Getting Older," the Vulgar Boatmen's You and Your Sister. Bloops blooping bloopily; Computer World gets renamed Wowwee Zowwee; dawn comes creeping at the robot factory; sundry noise flares and techno squiggles hit the pillow like chrome dreams.
The booming-on-Pluto intro of opener "Story of the Whole Thing" promises avant party-up, but soon steers into a weak-kneed tech-step lined with grayday cello and drowsy geetar intermittently upended by finely turned electro bon mots. "Dad, There's a Little Phrase . . ." digresses similarly, except longer and gorgeouser and with more strings, bongos, and rubber bass. But the humdinga is the aforementioned scenesters-unite reverie "L Train Is a Swell Train," a bubble-core "Beginning to See the Light" of twerking lyricism, wide-eyed peripeteia, and expertly delineated meta-sexual trigonometrypiling nervy groove upon nervy groove, faster miles an hour past the Bedford stop, until reluctant entitlement starts to feel like reluctant possibility. And there you are: out of the womb and into the world, drunk at 3 a.m. in a boxcar stalled between Be and Seem. And Haile Selassie is the emperor of ice cream.

My Go-to Hydration Pack
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Bought this a year ago to replace an older Camelbak model. I was looking for a good daypack/hydration pack that was lightweight but most importantly, had good ventilation along the back. There's nothing worse than having a hot pack sticking to your back as you're hiking along, am I right? The NVIS ventilated back panel is awesome. The pack is comfy as hell when full and air flows freely between the pack and my back. So far the pack has proved to be extremely durable, even after a slide down a scree field, there are no tears/rips/frays anywhere on the pack. I love it!

I used to play WoW but because of the difficulty in leveling due to the grinding I thought i'd give GW a try.
My questions are, is the leveling better/easier in GW? Iv'e heard there is 3 chapters which if i'm going to play I will play all 3. Is there a monthly charge for this game at all, or do I just need to buy the game? Can I download the full game like WoW and have a free trial first?. Finally when you upgrade to chapters 2 and 3 do you get extra quests, places to explore and alot more game content?
Sorry if all these questions sound dumb but i'm n00b and would like to know. :)

No, that part is also entirely soft-canon anyway.
Yes. If it was deemed such a failure that it was retired some 80+ years before the regular Miranda there must have been terribly wrong with the esign.
Whether STO is canon or not is not so much the issue.
CBS still has control over what gets released, like they flat-out said no TOS Connie.
It's not just us we have to take into consideration.
And if it's important enough to make a thread about it, I'd say it's important to look at the matter from all sides.

A Correspondent
KALPETTA: Local Administration Minister Paloli Mohammed Kutty has said that the Left Democratic Front government has been able to make a change in the social life of the backward classes.
He was inaugurating the State-level valedictory function of the Social Solidarity Week observance, organised by the local self-government institutions and the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Welfare Department, here on Thursday. Mr. Kutty said the change that education had brought about among the tribal people of Attappady was commendable and worth emulating elsewhere.
He said the visit of Minister for the Welfare of the Scheduled and Backward Communities A.K. Balan to the tribal colonies in Wayanad and Palakkad districts was a great success. Mr. Balan was able to solve many issues of the tribal people, unlike the welfare projects implemented by the Union and the State government whose results were unclear.
Mr. Balan, in his presidential address, said he could comprehend the major issues and convey them to the government. Many of these were solved on the spot and others were under consideration.
He said the government had utilised 97 per cent of the funds allocated for the welfare of the members of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes. Houses would be provided to all of them if they had land. The landless tribes would be given land and houses.
Forest and Housing Minister Benoy Viswom handed over to Mr. Balan the keys of the houses constructed by the Housing Board for the Kattunayakka tribal families in Wayanad.
Mr. Viswom said Kerala would be the first State to implement the forest right Act in its full sense.

2005 BEST Eyebrow Shaping
Michaud Cosmedix
No pain, no gain. At Michaud Cosmedix, the latter far outweighs the former as owner Julie Michaud and her aestheticians spend 30 minutes plucking your eyebrows one hair at a time. The result? Enviable arches that stay in shape much longer than they do after a 30-second wax. Here's something actually worth tearing up for.

Boys Will Be Boys Part 4
If you recall, last time, Jo, Fuji and Kaoru were having some fun "edging" Kaede on the patio and wound up leaving him tied up in the chair and never made it over the edge. We found out later that the other boys left to attend the Matsuri and Kaoru and Kaede actually had a date that evening. Later that evening, Kaoru returns from the Matsuri in his fundoshi and Kaede can't wait to get Kaoru out of it and pulls his cock out the side and starts sucking. Kaoru manages to get the fundoshi off and the fun begins. First, they exchange blow jobs before getting into a 69. Both of the them look as though they're ready to blow at any second. Kaoru grabs the lube and starts playing with Kaede's hole. Kaede is not experienced as a bottom, so Kaoru is gentle and works him slowly even when it comes time to penetrate him with his cock after using a couple fingers. First starting out ***gy style, Kaoru works Kaede's tight ass ever so gently. Still a little tight and not comfortable for Kaede, Kaoru pu

State of the Rays: Insight to come from Moore's recovery
AUG 19, 2013 5:28p ET
Ok, vacation is over...Ready to get back on the hill tonight! Thank you everyone for all your support these last two months!— Alex Cobb (@Acobb53) August 15, 2013
Cobb's return to the mound Thursday was a sign that normalcy had returned to him and the Rays. For anyone who was present at Tropicana Field on June 15, when a line drive off the bat of the Kansas City Royals' Eric Hosmer struck Cobb on the right ear, the eerie sights from that day cannot escape memory.
The 25-year-old right-hander is one of the most thoughtful and insightful voices in the Rays' clubhouse. It was encouraging to see his recovery, and let's hope no more traumatic events happen at Tropicana Field or elsewhere throughout the majors this season. After his return, Cobb said he hoped the dialogue concerning him could transition to how he performs on the field.
Thank goodness the direction of the discussion has changed.

Taking shots at Lane Kiffin has become one of America's most popular pastimes. The just-fired USC coach made himself an inviting target by alienating fans, boosters and media and, more than anything, not winning enough games.
You won't hear any anti-Kiffin sentiment from Brice Butler, even though, on the surface, he would seem to have plenty of incentive to trash his former coach.
Butler, a rookie wide receiver with the Oakland Raiders, played at USC from 2008-11. He had a promising season as a redshirt freshman in 2009 under Pete Carroll. Then Kiffin arrived … and Robert Woods … and Marqise Lee. Butler got buried on the bench. He was playing so little that he eventually told his parents, who live in the Atlanta area, to stop flying out to the games.
Butler ended up transferring to San Diego State. For a big-time recruit who had offers from Florida State, Georgia and Notre Dame, this wasn't how he envisioned his college career unfolding.
So how does Butler feel about how Kiffin treated him? Bitter? Resentful? Spiteful?
Try thankful.
"Most definitely," Butler said in a text message Wednesday. "Everything happens for a reason."
The way Butler sees it now – and it wasn't always this way – Kiffin set him on a path to become a stronger person and better player. Butler isn't sure he would have made it to the NFL if not for the trials he endured along the way.
Asked after an August training-camp practice in Napa to summarize his experience at USC, Butler described it as "humbling." He used the word three times in succession.
"If I didn't go to 'SC, I probably … I don't know," Butler said. "I don't know where I'd be at.
"Let's say I went to Georgia or something, and me and A.J. Green were killing it, and I left after my third year. My character wouldn't be where it is right now. Where I'm at spiritually, I wouldn't be there right now. I learned a lot. I wouldn't trade that in for anything."
The biggest lesson Butler learned was to focus on himself and ignore the noise around him. He spent entirely too much time at USC trying to figure out what Kiffin and his staff were thinking.
"That approach led everything to be stressful. I added more pressure on myself," Butler said. "When I went to San Diego State, I learned some things to help me with that. Now, I don't do that anymore. I could care less what the next guy's doing. I could care less what the coaches are thinking. As long as I'm out there every day putting it on film, I don't have to think about anything (else)."
Butler received similar advice while at USC but said "it was just hard to swallow at the time." When his new position coach at San Diego State, former NFL cornerback LeCharls McDaniel, counseled him, Butler began to listen. He also found inspiration in the Bible, specifically Proverbs 22:29: "Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings."
Like many hot-shot high school players, Butler thought he knew what hard work was – but really didn't. Now he leaves nothing to chance. He has no choice.

I brought in a broken belt to a local parts store to replace it. They gave me one that was too large. When I returned the belt for a larger one, the clerk measured it against the one I returned, determined that is was shorter, but mistakenly gave me the same belt back. I couldn't go back a third time so I ordered online with Partselect. The part was much cheaper and arrived the next day. I put the belt on in minutes. Your products are great and your service is quick. Thank you!

Shortbread for Firefighters
28 Jan 13
While the world looked on at the soaring temperatures and bushfires that hit Australia this January, countless communities across the country were coming together to provide support wherever they could. Slow Food Hobart members in Tasmania, one of the worst affected areas, rallied together with local cooks and producers to feed between 30 and 250 firefighters three meals a day – an essential behind the scenes job.
When Jo Cook, Slow Food Hobart committee member and chef received a call out of the blue to coordinate the kitchen, she wasted no time getting her mobile kitchen ready with food and personnel. She spoke to as many chefs and producers at a farmers' market as she could, and offers for food and labor started coming in.
The budget at the beginning was AUD$25 a day per firefighter for three meals and drinks. "At that budget you could either have real food and no wages, or the cheapest quality food and pay somebody," she said. "They are at their weakest. They have just worked a 12 or 15-hour shift; that's when they need nutrition and really high-quality food."
People donated their cheese, meat, fish, produce and time. One veteran firefighter said he had never been so well fed, and the man who hired Jo said he had never seen morale so high.
Mary McNeill, a Hobart member and pastry chef, made these shortbread biscuits and filled them with jam for a recharging sweet snack. "I use the recipe from Miss Irvine's Central Cookery Book (a classic Tasmanian cookbook)," she said. "I like mine slightly more cooked, so I suggest allowing a little color to develop, but traditionally you would go for pale."
500g butter
1 1/2 cups soft icing sugar
5 cups flour
1 jar of your favorite local or homemade jam
Cream butter and sugar.
Sift flour and mix till incorporated.
Tip onto work surface and knead slightly until dough comes together.
Roll out thinly (roll onto baking paper to make it easy to transfer to fridge).
Chill for 10 minutes or so to allow for easy cutting.
Cut out desired shapes and mark gently with a fork tip, and place on baking tray.
Bake at 160 ºC until biscuits are a pale cream color with slightly brown edges.
Allow to cool. Join pairs, filling them with your favorite jam.
Dust with icing sugar.
If you want shortbreads to remain crisp, fill them just before serving.

Wholly Service for Holy Week: Alternative Spring Break in Johns Island, SCBy Anne Marie Wilson, CCM Staff
When thinking of Holy Week, you wouldn't necessarily think of Spring Break, but that was the reality for Elon University this year! Ten amazing students, Fr. Gerry, and I had the privilege of going to Johns Island, South Carolina, to work with the Sea Island Habitat for Humanity, alongside Habitat supervisors and a group from Eastern Connecticut State University. Today, Habitat has helped build or repair more than 600,000 houses and served more than 3 million people around the world.
While working with Habitat, some students were installing sheet rock and vinyl siding, others were making a beautiful wooden deck, digging holes, moving gravel... with everyone coming together to make a difference in the lives of the future homeowners. This was an amazing opportunity for CCM to give back to others in need and truly see what Habitat is all about. We have some students who are excited to go back next year and others are trying to get more involved with Habitat locally! During an evening reflection, first-year student Kevin Coyne expressed the following: "Going out and doing service (like CCM's Alternative Spring Break Trip) is always great and needed, but true service starts within our daily lives on a daily basis." The love and service the students showed to everyone on the trip was so evident and truly reflected the remarkable character of our students here in CCM.
We were also able to celebrate Holy Thursday with an intimate Mass and a Washing of the Feet, and on Good Friday we were blessed to meditate with the Stations of the Cross around the Angel Tree, possibly Johns Islands' most famous attraction.
The experience was a once- in-a-lifetime trip where "service" and "spirituality" came together harmoniously. What a great way to spend the final days of Lent and the beginning of the Sacred Triduum.

On-site Installation of xTuple PostBooks® Edition, client and server
If you plan to test xTuple locally, the easiest and most reliable method is to install our virtual machine (VM), which includes the database and the server components required for mobile web access. The process of setting up the VM is simple. Just follow the xTuple virtual machine installation instructions available on our Github site, where we manage all of the xTuple application code. You will be able to use both a web browser and the xTuple desktop client to connect to the local server that you set up.
If you do not want to install a virtual machine, you can follow these instructions for installing the xTuple database only. Be aware, however, that this is both more complicated and less useful--you will not have access to the important mobile web features that are included in the virtual machine installation.

Local business leader: Juany Mendez-Martinez
Name: Juany Medez-Martinez
Title: Owner/Manager
Name of business: Gulfway Boot & Shoe Repair
Address: 5727 McArdle at Airline roads, Corpus Christi, TX 78412
Phone: 361-991-2393; toll-free 877-992-6687
Company description: Cleaning, polishing and repair of all types of leather, vinyl and canvas footwear, apparel, handbags and luggage. We also dye footwear and make leather objects.
Hometown: Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. I moved to Corpus Christi in 1985.
Years in business: 24
Tenure in position: 13
Education: In Monterrey, I attended Catholic schools. In Corpus Christi, I studied English at Del Mar College in classes, twice a week for five years. I have also earned at certificate from the Shoe Service Institute of America.
First job: When I was 17, I worked as a salesperson in the children's department at a clothing store in Monterrey. I learned to always put the customer first and to dress appropriately.
Career break: I had been working at the shoe repair shop as an apprentice with my father-in-law, Celestino Z. Martinez, for eleven years. I wanted to buy the business from him and had applied to banks here and was turned down by all of them. I refused to take "no" for an answer and kept searching for a way to buy the business. Then I saw a TV show where a man from the Small Business Administration spoke about how the agency could help individuals start a business. I called the television station and found out how to reach the SBA. The SBA helped me get the loan I needed to buy the business.
Business turning point: Once I took the training and earned certification to provide shoes and custom Orthotics for podiatrists' patients and people with diabetes, the business grew. We also added a new technology for shoe lifts, which brought in more customers. The business is cyclical. We get more business on rainy days and there's always a rush when school starts. Word of mouth has been very good for us.
Business philosophy: I tell my customers that they need to have the right shoe for the situation — work, sports, dressy events. I can give them the best service for whatever footwear or article they need. I put my customers first and always greet them with a smile. Providing a friendly tone and pleasant attitude helps make customers happy. Our attitude, combined with the same standard of quality I would want for myself, brings our customers back.
Advice to others in the Coastal Bend: We need to persuade our young people to stay in school, graduate from high school and go on to college. Then we need to keep them here in Corpus Christi. Business owners here also should think about helping the elderly and others who need assistance.

The collection looks to bring together a series of essays (interviews with filmmakers, will be welcome) on one of cinema's truly volatile sons. Particular emphasis on Kinski's more exploitive roles and obscure gems. Essays on Kinski/Herzog will be welcome though I am particularly interested in any obscure Kinski title.
I'm looking for critical and scholarly essays ...
